The CBC Cougars already sport men's soccer and basketball, and women's volleyball and softball. The women's basketball program will compete within the Division I ranks of Region XIV of the National Junior College Athletic Association while the baseball squad will become a Division III team to start.
Scholarships can be a part of the Div. I competing teams, but no scholarships are available at the Div. III competition level.
The sports are to be up and competing this coming school year at the local college. The baseball team will play and practice at Joe Hunter Field and share the facility with the A.C. Jones Trojan baseball program.
The women's basketball program is expected to bring 15-20 athletes to the campus while the baseball team will sport 24-30 players.
According to Athletic Coordinator Estevan Vasquez, both programs should be able to work within a limited budget provided by the tuition and fees generated by the influx of new students playing the respective sports.
Tryouts, recruiting, scheduling, hiring of coaches and assistant coaches, equipment procurement and a myriad of other details will need to be worked out prior to classes beginning Aug. 29, according to Vasquez.
The Athletic Department believes the addition of these two sports will enhance and benefit the overall campus life at Coastal Bend College.
The presentation provided the CBC board pointed out that sports will help enrich the community college experience by offering the "typical four-year college experience" of cheering at sporting events. Sports help build tradition and encourage school pride. They allow high school athletes an opportunity to continue their athletic careers while pursuing a higher education. It builds leadership and teamwork skills among the athletes. It promotes community participation and pride and will benefit enrollment.
The staff within the CBC's athletic department, specifically Vasquez, has been in contact with a few local coaches who might consider the head coaching positions and is looking forward to making the announcement of those hirings within a short time frame.

Putting the 'fun' in fundraiser!
March 12, 2014 —
Yes, it finally happened. After months of planning, weeks of preparation and days of excited anticipation, the gang at The River Reporter gathered in Callicoon, NY (www.villaroma.com) and joined nearly 100 civic-minded individuals, donned fantastic costumes and spent a few hours entertaining more than 500 guests who turned out to take in the show benefitting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sullivan County (www.bgcorange.org) for the sixth annual Sullivan County Celebrity Dinner. In the six short years since this fundraiser was conceived, the event has grown exponentially into one of the premier evenings in the Upper Delaware River region and now that its reputation has been secured as the place to be, the evening sold out in record time.
This year's theme, "The Bright Lights of Broadway," encouraged 90 "celebrity servers"—on 20 teams, representing local businesses and organizations—to dazzle their guests with fabulous fun and impressive (IMHO) musical numbers from shows such as "Les Miz," "Mary Poppins," "Cabaret," "Grease" and "A Chorus Line." As a proud sponsor of the Boys and Girls Clubs, The River Reporter was thrilled to jump on board, deciding to put our unique spin on Broadway's megahit "Annie," with a cast comprised of our own Eileen Hennessy, Breann Cochran, Isabel Braverman and Amanda Reed. TRR Director of Advertising Barbara Matos managed to secure ringer Lynne Freda (www.fredarealty.com) to join in, and since Dharma the Wonder Dog was assigned the role of "Sandy" the rest of the troupe somehow convinced me to don a ridiculous wig and dress and lip-synch my way through "Tomorrow," as the orphans, Miss Hannigan and Daddy Warbuck$ egged me on singing "It's a Hard Knock Life."

- 9 How can my family contact me in an emergency?
- 10 Can I call home from Botswana?
- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Botswana?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds total with a maximum weight of 50 pounds for any one bag.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Botswana?
It is 220 volts, 50 hertz. Plugs/outlets consist of both three prong round and three prong square shapes.
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. You will be given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover your expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and bank cards are preferable to cash. Traveler's checks are not widely accepted by businesses in Botswana and are redeemable only at certain banks. However, they can be useful for travel to other countries during vacations. Note, too, that ATM machines are widely available and linked to the banking network in the States. Only VISA cards and cards stamped with the "PLUS" logo on the back are useable. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. All vacation plans must be approved by the Volunteer's Batswana supervisor before being submitted to the Peace Corps for approval. Extended stays (those that require more leave than you have accrued) away from your site are not encouraged and must be reviewed by your Peace Corps supervisor before being submitted to the Peace Corps country director for a final decision.
The Peace Corps cannot provide Volunteers with vacation planning assistance. You are responsible for making reservations, purchasing tickets, and procuring the appropriate visas. The Peace Corps cannot provide your visitors with visa or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not insure personal effects. Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Botswana are not allowed to drive except during an approved vacation. Many Volunteers in southern Africa find it economically advantageous to rent a car, either alone or as a group, while traveling in the region. In such cases, it is helpful to have an international driver's license. As with other personal travel arrangements, the Peace Corps does not assist in the procurement of international driver's licenses.
What should I bring as gifts for Batswana friends and my host family?
The Peace Corps does not encourage you to bring gifts for your family and friends during training. The provision of such gifts is an issue to be discussed and decided by the entire group of trainees, since it is precedent-setting and may have ramifications outside the gift giver's original intent. For instance, expectations may arise in host families if some people provide gifts but others do not. Should you feel moved to provide a small token of appreciation to your host family, a wide range of suitable items are available locally.
One of the greatest gifts you can provide to your host family and friends is information about yourself and your life in the United States. For this reason, we encourage you to bring photos of the people and things that are important in your life.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites until approximately six weeks into their pre-service training. This gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry counterparts. The Botswana program has a wide variety of sites, ranging from urban to periurban to rural, and Volunteers should be prepared to accept any of them, including housing in a range of options from one room for kitchen, sleeping, and pit latrine to the other extreme of two bedroom brick homes with hot water heaters.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, you should instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580, extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at 202.638.2574. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580.
Can I call home from Botswana?
Yes. Most telephones in the country can be used for international calls. Volunteers often call home and ask to be called back or prearrange a time to be called at a private phone or pay phone.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
While cellular phone services are widely available in Botswana, it is not advisable to bring a cellphone from the United States unless you check with the manufacturer and confirm that the phone will work in Botswana. In all cases, these phones are the type with SIM cards that can be changed in and out. SIM cards in Botswana cost about $15. The cost of a new cellphone in Botswana is approximately $50. Costs of phones can be covered by your moving-in allowance which Volunteers near the end of pre-service training. Yet, you will likely want to have a cell phone upon arrival so you will probably need to put money up-front and use your moving in allowance later to cover the expense. Peace Corps does not provide cellphones to Volunteers.
Will there be e-mail and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
Internet service is widely available in Botswana; most larger villages and towns have Internet cafes. The choice about whether to bring a computer is an individual one. Those who decide to bring a personal computer should be aware that Botswana's climate can be tough on sensitive equipment. In addition, peripherals like printer cartridges and disks are very expensive locally. Those who bring computers or other valuable equipment should consider purchasing personal property insurance as laptops make you a target for theft.

More miscellaneous facts:
The word 'round' can be a noun, verb, adjective, adverb or preposition.
The English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Latin words for 'bird' all begin with a different letter.
The longest note in music is the breve, which comes from the Latin word meaning 'short'.

Quote:The first child to be vaccinated in Russia was named Vaccinov.
Vaccinations are so named because the serum is made from processed Cowpox virus, and cow = vacca, and the fancy name for the disease is "vaccinia." (Smallpox in Variola. Can't tell you why.)
(And btw it wasn't scratched into the skin the way later generations did, but rather dropped into the eye. That's why it was called "inoculation against Smallpox.")

I'd like to know what this so-called Vaccinov is a transliteration of. Doesn't much look like it would work in Cyrillic.
OK. I googled it and found it in Wikipedia, so it must be true. But it wasn't some sort of cosmic coincidence; he got the name for being vaccinated.

Doesn't much look like it would work in Cyrillic.
Neither did it to me. But according to the Russian Wikipedia article (link):Quote:The first to be inoculated was an orphan Anton Petrov. At the command of the Empress [Catherine], Petrov was given a surname of Vaktsinov ([Вакцинов), and he was awarded a lifetime pension.
Interesting, but as you say, Faldo, he was named after vaccine.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
BiologyThis snail is mainly nocturnal but will emerge after rain during the day. It moves by means of a muscular foot; the mucus secreted by the foot aids with movement and leaves a tell-tale track behind. They feed on a range of plant matter, and can be serious pests of gardens (4). This snail has a strong homing instinct, and spends the day, often in large groups, beneath stones and other structures. They hibernate through the winter in similar locations (5). Garden snails are hermaphrodites, meaning that one individual possesses both male and female reproductive organs; although they are able to self-fertilise, most snails mate with another snail (4). Reproduction takes place in early summer, and begins with pairing and courtship. After a period in which the members of the pair caress each other with their tentacles, each snail pierces the skin of its partner with a calcareous 'love dart', a spiny projection which is covered in mucus. The function of this love dart is unclear, but it is thought that the mucus may act to improve the survival of sperm. Mating then takes place; each snail inserts its penis into its partner at the same time (6). The snails separate, and the sperm is stored internally until the eggs are ripe. After the eggs have been fertilised, the snails dig pits in the soil in which to lay the eggs (5). Hatchlings have translucent, delicate shells (4). The garden snail is edible, and snail farming is currently a booming cottage industry in Britain. This species has also been used for centuries in traditional medicine, for example, broth made from the mucus was used to treat sore throats (7).

Tears flowed in the courtroom on Wednesday for the 16-year-old teenager from Vacaville who died in a watercraft collision in July, for the young man blamed for the deadly crash, and for the families left to pick up the pieces.
"I am deeply sorry for what's I've done," said Tyson Dagley, a 20-year-old Australian man who was visiting Hawaii last month.
During his sentencing, Dagley again expressed remorse for what happened at Keehi Lagoon one month ago to the day.
Video was released by Dagley's attorney that showed exactly what happened. Prosecutor say Dagley was looking to the side posing for his girlfriend when his WaveRunner slammed into Kristen Fonseca. The California teenager died a day later.
"I go in her bed and smell her pillows and pretend it's her," said Fonseca's mother Evangelina Canton.
In court, Canton's hands trembled as she expressed her grief, pulling out a short poem Kristen wrote as a young girl.
"I dream I had a cell phone. I scream when I'm afraid. I'm an 8-year-old girl. I want a motor scooter. I wonder if I will ever have kids," said Canton.
Dagley was charged with third-degree negligent homicide. He spent 12 days in prison before being freed on $100,000 bail. Dagley pleaded no contest to the charge.
Judge Richard Perkins accepted the plea on Wednesday, gave him credit for time served, and agreed to clear Dagley's record if he stays out of trouble for a year.
It's a sentence Kristen's family compared to a traffic ticket.
"Mr. Dagley just gets to go home, go back to his life and resume his life just like nothing occurred -- just to move on," said Mario Canton, Fonseca's stepfather. "It's a travesty to us and I couldn't be more upset about this decision."
Dagley is free to return to Australia, but he must perform 48 hours of community service and pay Fonseca's family more than $78,000 in restitution.
Payments can be made in increments of $30 a month -- a payment Dagley's attorney promises will be fulfilled.
"They take pride. They keep their word. They're just good 'salt of the earth' people," said attorney Walter Rodby.
After the sentencing, a second plea from Fonseca's mother. She hopes her daughter's death inspires Hawaii lawmakers to pass stricter rules for watercraft operations.
"So they don't feel the pain that I'm feeling. So that they don't wake up every morning looking for your daughter, and she's not there. So they don't go into the room and hug a pillow that's not their daughter, but smell it and pretend it's her," said Evangelina Canton.
It's but another sign this pain will live long and deep for both families. Dagley repeatedly broke down crying in court. The weight of a life lost forever on his shoulders.
"I pray for Kristen and her family every morning and night and no words can explain how I feel," said Dagley.
The Fonsecas are now suing Aloha Jet Ski Rentals along with Dagley for an undisclosed amount of money.
Dagley's girlfriend, Natasha Ryan, is charged with hindering prosecution after she tried to delete video she shot of the watercraft accident. She's set to enter a plea Friday.

No More Sexcuses!
By Health Day
We know condoms can protect you against sexually transmitted diseases. And now a new study suggests they don't limit pleasure during sex, despite what many people think!
The study, just published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, used data from a national online survey of men and women aged 18 to 59.
Condom use is prevalent in the United States More than 25% of men and more than 20% of women reported using a condom during their most recent sexual experience.
The big news out of this research: both men and women consistently rated sex as arousing and highly enjoyable whether or not they used a condom. And when a condom was used, there were no significant differences in pleasure based on condom type.
The researchers hope these findings will help health care providers educate people who are uncomfortable with condoms about the health benefits of their use.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the latest breakthroughs from the world of medicine.

DD has decreased her nursing sessions from 6-7 a month ago to 4-5 max. And, two of those aren't full sessions.
This is okay, right? Par for the course?
Her appetite for food has really jumped in the past 2 weeks and she is eating a lot more since mastering the pincer grasp.
Anyway, just looking for a little reassurance!

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

Guys. For one, understand, with maturity, that flashbacks are essential for the plot to move. If we do not understand Kabuto, nothing would make much sense. It is important to know the background of characters, especially someone as prominent as Kabuto. Look at it this way:
We don't know Naruto's background. We don't know MInato's background. We don't know Kushina's background. We do not know Itachi and Sasuke's background.
Hmm. The story would be about some guy Naruto who mysteriously somehow HAD the nine-tails fox inside of him, and Minato and Kushina just somehow met, and somehow the nine-tails ended up inside their son. Itachi, how can Sasuke treat him as a good guy? He murdered his clan, what the? Sasuke, da faq, mental problem here
Yeah, this would be what we're thinking. THat is why, please, acknowledge the fact that this chapter's flashbacks were important. It was a good one. Only if you are mature would you understand, therefore, most of NB, ignorant fools, would not
I have a feeling that there will be much much more of these chapters, like atleast 2-3 more of these I'm sure of it..
Well that sucked
I could give a shit less about kabuto
boring kabuto, but at least it's better than last chapter :/
sucks how kishi put these boring flashbacks in the MIDDLE OF A WAR
hmm it seems kabuto knew danzou from a very very long time...........and and and
WTF!? im pretty sure one of danzou's thugs is orocihimaru!!!!???? so tats how he probably got the 1st' hokages remains implanted in him...god i hate Danzou n his smugness
Oh shit this flashback may actually be long term.
Kabuto's back ground isn't that interesting. Everyone already knew he was a spy used by the hidden leaf, this chapter just showed us he killed his own adoptive mother and how he met Orochimaru. No need to waste a whole chapter on something that could have been explained in 4-6 pages.
That was quite a nice flashback, IMO. The timing of it is still.. um... off. But it's a good flashy nonetheless.
It makes Kabuto out to be more of a sympathetic character - at least until he joined Orochimaru, it seems. I never liked his character, but these last few chapters had me warm up to him a little. He's more interesting than I thought; I was thinking he'd just be another "oh I was wronged as a child, now I'm evil", but there's definitely more to it. And apparently "Mother" was a mole? Dun dun dunnn....
Seems like there's always been some pretty sick corruption going on in Konohagakure. ****ing Root, such arseholes.
Also, seriously Danzo? "You look worn out"? Look who's ****ing talking. Sheesh.
4 stars. Don't hate on flashback chapters, guys.

This is proof that kabuto will die...
These flashbacks should have been shown at the end of the fight, not slap-bang in the middle.
It's like the whole Izanami revelation has been discarded!
The Uchiha Bros. and Kabuto's fight, as well as the entire arc, has slowed down drastically. These fights are not as exciting as previous ones.
3/5, because I actually found Kabuto's past interesting, but it could have been shown later on.
boooooooooooooring ugly flashback talk nojutsu
i reckon some people was actually interested with kabuto background earlier in the war,
they was like "what is kabuto background/origin ?" how he become ****ing op ?"
and now when kishi told us about that matter, people raging out of nowhere, just because they want to see more naruto/sasuke with plot armor in the entire chapter LMAO
pretty ok chapter...
I enjoyed it alot :D im tired of seeing people complain...
Sad..this chapter should have been included before war or as separate Kabuto Gainden..totally misplaced chapter.
Didn't enjoy the chapter as much as I could have. Like it was said earlier, it could've been summed up. The timing of the chapter was essentially bad, I was just getting into the Uchiha Bros and Kabuto fight. However Kabuto's background is rather interesting, and I do wish to find out more.
this chapter sucks ass ... so kabuto was ****edup when he was a kid i dont care ..... we have enough kids with ****edup lifes ..... grow up kabuto..... you life compared to sasuke and naruto and nagato its a good one ... i hate kabuto a ****ing cry baby

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education
has unveiled a new website aimed at helping those who
want to pursue careers as teachers or teachers'
Information on the website www.TeachIllinois.org
has been assembled for two groups of people: current school
personnel and those who want to pursue certification as
an administrator, teacher or paraprofessional. The site
is organized so that high school and college students
who are looking for information about teaching in today's
classrooms, out-of-state applicants who want to teach
in Illinois, and current teachers wanting to add endorsements
can get to the information they need with only a few mouse
clicks. The site features authoritative links to the State
Board of Education website that will direct users to exactly
the information needed. The State Board website (www.isbe.net)
is updated as needed to remain accurate, including the
Directory of State-Approved Programs.
For those who are not yet teachers, most of the information
that might be sought is concentrated under "Preparing
to Become an Educator," "Resources," and
"Today's Classroom." That last link lets the
prospective teacher listen to and watch students and teachers
describing classroom settings and teaching in their own
Out-of-state teachers and new graduates will find useful
information under "Being Certified in Illinois,"
"Required Testing," "Resources" (which
includes a glossary), and "Employment Opportunities."
Information for paraprofessionals is included under "Being
Certified in Illinois." Illinois certified teachers
and administrators will find useful links under "Continuing
as an Educator," "Required Testing," "Resources,"
and "Employment Opportunities."
"We are confident that this website will be a useful
tool for those who may be considering a career in teaching
and for those educators who want to continue to advance
in the profession," said State School Superintendent
Randy Dunn, who began his professional education career
as a classroom teacher in Gibson City, Ill.

The Hearing
When the judge started questioning me about "chronic fatigue" I could sense that he was not a believer in this diagnosis and got nervous thinking he would rule against me. His disbelief was communicated in his voice. My cognitive difficulties were very apparent and several times found myself forgetting what his question was so I asked him to repeat it and commented that I had forgotten what the question was.
He brought up the neuropsych testing done by one of their SSDI psychologists and stated "you seemed fine during that session" even though the testing showed a 30 point drop in IQ scores.
He asked the vocational expert what sort of job I could do and she came up with "plastics inspector." Then he said "if someone needed to lay down at will would they be eligible for any work" to which she replied "no." Then "if someone can only leave the house once every 3 weeks is there any full-time work they would be eligible for" and she said "no."
The judge stated he believed my testimony and that it was consistent with written testimony provided by my family as well as my doctor's testimony so I took that as a good sign but one never knows. He is a new judge and goes by the book so my lawyer couldn't get a read on a certain win but he said it went about as well as expected.
It was emotional. I'm glad it's over. I feel exhausted and numb. Now I have to get through the 2 hour HIDA scan test this Thursday and then the 2 hour brain Spect Scan a week from Friday.
I wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone's support and prayers. I could feel them....
More later on in the week...

You must be exhausted. Try to rest as much as possible and we're all still here thinking of you for the next appointments.

Yes, you must be completely exhausted, Terri. It sounds to me like it went well though. Rest up for your next appointments. We're all with you in cyberspace!

Thanks for updating, Terri as I know you must be exhausted. I've been thinking all day about you, wondering how things were going. Keeping my fingers crossed for you...it sounds like it went well. Keep us posted as you are able. Good luck with the other tests happening this week.

That just sounds like a terrible experience! It does however sound positive though. I will be keeping my fingerss and everything else (maybe not quite everything) crossed too!! Rest up as soooon as you can :)

Hi, Terri -
I'm just trying to get caught up after 10 days away...I'm up to the M's!
It sounds like the hearing went well. I can't even imagine the stress involved with having your illness "on trial" and having to prove you're too sick to work. I'm so sorry you have to go through this and that it's so onerous.
Try to rest and take care of yourself. I'm thinking of you and wishing for the best outcome!

- Jo said...
Yay, you're through it. Let's hope he rules in your favour so you don't have to go through an appeal. That would be very unfair.
- April 14, 2010 at 7:27 AM
plastics inspector....omg these ppl really are crazy!!!!!!! i couldn't help but laugh aloud when i read that. i'm sure someone with cfid's who is extremely sensitive to smells and chemicals would do great at a plastics factory or warehouse.
wow, i really hope you win this so you don't have to go thru an appeal.
i'm waiting for my court hearing after the govt dr. wrote i could lift 80lbs (which i couldn't even do when well) and stand for 8 hours/day...i can't stand or sit upright for more than 5 mins...and they try to tell us we are crazy. they are the crazy ones.
my doctor became quite PO'd when he read what the govt dr. wrote abt me. My doc said basically he just called me (and you) a LIAR.
I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. Good Luck!!!!!

Will keep you in my prayers. Hoping for a favorable outcome.

I'm hoping you get that ruling without the appeal, too. I feel so incredibly lucky that I got it first time out with no appeal. I know it wouldn't happen today. It was hard then...I was the first in the state to not have to appeal...but it's even harder now.
Sending hugs!

- Dominique said...
That had to be so exhausting! I am so sorry you had to go through it but I am so hoping for a favorable outcome. It was a judge who turned things around for me. He felt my evidence (family, friend, professors) validated everything I had told him.
I hope you are getting plenty of rest now that it is over.
- April 15, 2010 at 9:28 AM
Hey Terri.....love, hugs and prayers.....I did not recall the hearing date so have missed it but was there in spirit in some small way. Hopsing so much this will be at at least an answer to this.....we cill constantly pray to influence a better outcome....let's not give up and then we will rejoyce and also need to pace the next 3 days so we don't crash.......ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....but worth it!!!!!!!! love ya honey, j

I'm sure you are anxious for the results of your hearing but probably relieved that it's over too. You must be totally exhausted!
I can't think of a more unhealthy place for someone who is chronically ill to work than a plastics factory! That part was absolutely incredible.
I am sending positive energy your way!!
- April 16, 2010 at 11:56 AM
- Judy said...
Wow, what a story. I will have to dig in your previous blogs to find out what the hearing was about. But I sure hope the worst is behind you now. I'm new to finding followers and becoming a followee. It's really good to make your acquaintance. If you want, you can let me know what part of CA you reside in!

Too early to declare winners on banking strategy
A few years ago a senior investment banker was on holiday on a remote Scottish island. With no mobile phone reception and desperate for news from the City, he walked for miles to the island's only post office to buy a newspaper. When he finally got there, he found that the only newspapers available were a day old. "I'd like to buy today's newspaper, please," he said to the shopkeeper. "Well I'm afraid you'll have to come back tomorrow," she replied.
So it is with gauging the pecking order of investment banks. After more than a year of perpetual restructuring, the dust has yet to settle on an industry that is still struggling to identify a sustainably profitable business model. The only way to really understand where each investment bank stands today will be to come back tomorrow – or ideally in a few years' time.
More than five years on from the financial crisis, you might have thought that the winners and losers had already been decided. On the one hand, monster banks like JP Morgan, Citi and HSBC have hoovered up market share and Goldman Sachs has staged an impressive comeback. On the other, once-upon-a-time contenders Barclays and Deutsche Bank have struggled to get to grips with the new world, and the less said about Royal Bank of Scotland the better.
In between, it is less clear which of those investment banks that have engaged in furious restructuring have come up with a realistic strategy, which are clinging to past glories, which have managed to delude themselves again, and which have merely postponed the inevitable. However, the closer you look the more you realise that there are several reasons why it is still too early to identify the longer-term winners and losers.
First, for the first time since long before the financial crisis, competing strategies and business models have emerged across the industry. When everyone was trying to be JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs, when the entire industry had access to virtually free funding, and when almost everyone was printing money, it was easier to spot the winners (pretty much everyone) and the losers (Credit Agricole, Dresdner Kleinwort and the Japanese were usually a good bet).
But there are now at least three competing strategies (universal bank, full service investment bank, and a sort of pick'n'mix investment bank) overlaid with different levels of geographic ambition (global, regional and national). This relatively recent development, dubbed "The Return of Strategy" by McKinsey, will take several years to play out.
This is partly because – second – it is still early days for most investment banks and their relatively inexperienced management teams. It may feel like the industry has been having its teeth pulled for several years, but the reality is that it is only relatively recently, over the past 12 to 18 months, that banks have really got to grips with their problems.
What had passed for fundamental restructuring – and pretty brutal at that – had instead been an industry-wide exercise in cutting the most visible costs out of the business and taking the obvious tactical decisions. With each quarter, as the recovery never came, these decisions became harder and harder, and looked more and more strategic, but it is only since late 2011 that most banks have started to ask fundamental questions about their purpose.
This has been compounded by the high turnover of the most senior executives running the business. Of the 15 biggest investment banks, 10 have changed their chief executives or co-chief executives in the past two years, according to my analysis, and their median experience at the very top is a mere 17 months.
Turning the screw
The third reason for it being premature to declare the winners is that the pressure for change from regulators and shareholders is only beginning to bite. Credit Suisse and UBS provided an early warning of how a determined regulator can dictate the shape of a bank's investment banking business, and the UK government gave a masterclass in how not to run an investment bank in its treatment of RBS.
But it is only recently that the boards and shareholders of several aspiring European universal banks seem to be querying the trade-off between the high absolute profits that their investment bank subsidiaries might generate in future versus the risk and capital drag that most probably will accompany them as regulators tighten the screw on leverage.
Fourth, the industry is still adjusting to a new world in which success is measured by risk-adjusted returns instead of the top line.
One senior banker said recently the industry had previously been run by "revenue junkie product heads" who are struggling to adapt to a more austere and disciplined world. Entire businesses that used to generate huge absolute profits find themselves on the naughty step as banks drill down into the fully costed profitability of individual clients, teams, and business lines.
Banks are finding that loss-leading businesses that had been retained for the sake of "optionality" (a smart-sounding word for not wanting to take a decision too soon and look stupid if the business comes roaring back) or because of synergies and cross-selling, are instead just a jumble of losses.
This means that an important determinant of the winners and losers over the next few years will be which investment banks have the most sophisticated management teams and reporting processes.
Deliberate confusion
And finally, the picture has been clouded by the confusion over reporting and disclosure at the different investment banks. While it would be scandalous to suggest that any of the big investment banks would deliberately ferment confusion over the state of their business, most of them are remarkably tight-lipped about how they fund their business and what regulatory regime they apply to which parts of the business.
How much of the US banks' business is still run on the basis of Basel I (they never quite got the hang of Basel II and sort of skipped Basel 2.5)? When a bank says it is Basel III compliant, what exactly does it mean and can it provide comparable historical numbers to enable investors and analysts to make up their own minds?
When a bank tidies up its investment bank business by throwing the nasty stuff under the bed (or into a non-core business), for how long can it pretend that its investment bank is in tip-top condition? How do individual banks apply transfer pricing between different divisions, and what would happen if everything were properly costed? And what would the banks' risk-weighted assets (and therefore capital and leverage ratios) look like if they all used the same methodology to calculate them?
It has never been easy to compare one investment bank with another, but right now it is like trying to complete a jigsaw puzzle in the dark with too many missing pieces. Gradually, over the next few years, these pieces will fall into place. But for now it's still too early to say.

Here's a sure sign of spring -- Wisconsin's early trout season is only a little more than a week off.
The season runs from 5 a.m. March 2 until midnight on April 27. Participants will need a state fishing license and an inland trout stamp.
State Department of Natural Resources officials say the best time to fish will be in the afternoons, when water temperatures are higher. They say wooly bugger and scud flies are good choices for fishing deeper when there's no surface activity.
The DNR has posted maps of trout waters and public access points on its website.

Live at the Village Vanguard - Adam Rogers Quintet

Posted by Joshua Jackson.Add new comment | Filed under: adam rogers, baby steps, confluence, debut, drums, edward simon, favorite places, firsts, guitarist, Jazz Alive, jazz club, jeff tain watts, legendary jazz, Listening Post, Live Music, mark turner, music site, Places and Spaces, pleasure, scott colley, tain, tenor, village vanguard, wbgo
The Village Vanguard is is one of my favorite places in New York. With that simple statement, it gives me great pleasure to introduce WBGO's newest adventure. We're starting a monthly concert series from the legendary jazz club. Our eventual plan is to air the shows live on WBGO, and stream them simultaneously on NPR's Music site. Last night, we took the first of many baby steps.
Guitarist Adam Rogers made his debut as a leader at the Vanguard, and we recorded our initial show for this series. An evening of "firsts," so to speak.
Here's the basic information:
Adam Rogers, guitar
Mark Turner, tenor
Edward Simon, piano
Scott Colley, bass
Jeff "Tain" Watts, drums
Set List:
Long Ago and Far Away
Recorded 4/8/08
Listen to the concert now.
Check out some photos I took during the soundcheck.
We also recorded the second set. Someday you'll get to hear that, too! Stay tuned to the blog for more information about WBGO's new series, Live at the Village Vanguard.

Joe Lovano, that is.
It's Lovano's 55th birthday today, and he's celebrating it with a three-day run with his quintet at the Palazzo del Popolo in Orvieto, Italy. What a way to end a monumental year. Wish I could be there, since Italy's Umbria region is one of my favorite places to be, but I'll be spending my New Year's Eve at Jazz Standard, with Trio da Paz, Kenny Barron, and a great New York crew for NPR's Toast of the Nation (hope you'll be listening!).
Incidentally, Toast of the Nation is where Lovano's 2007 began, as a member of the McCoy Tyner Quartet (bassist Christian McBride and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts make four) at Yoshi's. You can hear the fruits of that week at Yoshi's on record.
It's been such a banner year for Joe. Check out the video below. And when you see him again, raise a glass of my favorite Umbrian wine, Paolo Bea's Sagrantino de Montefalco, in honor of him.
Happy birthday, Joe Lovano. You're a class act.

Is there any way to tell when and if things will go bad? I'm very worried now which probably doesn't help my blood pressure.
Are there any specific questions I should be asking my doctor? I see her tomorrow morning.
How bad are blood pressures consistently ranging in the 140s/90s?
I believe those blood pressures aren't very serious but at what point does it become serious?
Can pre-eclampsia go away or stay the same for the rest of my pregnancy and I can deliver naturally without being induced if that happens?

In an age when getting famous for the sake of being famous is the name of the game, and where it's hard to tell genuine news from fake "viral" publicity stunts, it's easy to long for the old days. You know, back when people still had some dignity, and great things were built and accomplished for some reason other than self-promotion.
We're not exactly sure when that was, because some of the most iconic places and rituals in the world were started purely to create "buzz."
6The Olympic Torch Relay Was Publicity for the Third Reich
The most iconic moment from any Olympic games is the ceremonial lighting of the Olympic flame. The torch is carried from Olympia, Greece, to the games' host city, and the journey across nations has become a symbol of the world uniting toward a single goal. Oh, also, it was originally instituted by the Nazis to gain a little exposure.
To be fair, it beats pop-up ads.
The Publicity Stunt That Started It:
The tradition of the Olympic flame itself -- minus the runner carrying the torch cross-country -- dates back to the first Olympics in ancient Greece, where a fire burned throughout the games. Then the 1936 Berlin Olympics added a new twist to the torch ceremony. Carl Diem, the event's organizer, wanted to link the modern Olympics to the ancient games. Hitler's good friend Joseph Goebbels, aka the minister of Nazi propaganda, saw this as an excellent opportunity to promote the Aryan race to the world.
Nothing makes the race look good like tight shorts and pasty white legs.
The Nazis believed that ancient Greece was the forerunner of the Aryan race. So naturally, having one of their Nazi supermen carrying the flame from Olympia to the European countries where Germany wanted to increase its influence made perfect sense. And Goebbels spared no expense in making sure that every second of the relay was broadcast through radio and dramatic photographs taken for the benefit of their future subjects.
"Boy, those Nazis sure do know how to stand in huge blocks underneath giant flags."
So as you watch the Olympic torch wind its way to London this summer, just remember that the worldwide event uniting every country for the sake of sport was originally designed to show the world the superiority of a few white guys.
5The Public Ten Commandments Monuments Were Created to Promote the Movie
You may remember a few years back there was a huge controversy over a stone Ten Commandments monument in an Alabama courthouse, including a lawsuit to get it taken down. But if you're anything like us and have spent a lot of your free time in courthouses, you've noticed that similar Ten Commandments monuments appear on and around public edifices all over the United States.
We can't help but notice that these say nothing about speeding, doing drugs or stealing cable.
They are intended as a reminder of the core principles on which our laws were built, and hell, they've probably been sitting there since the 1700s, right?
The Publicity Stunt That Started It:
In 1955, a movie was due for release. Maybe you've heard of it.
He-Man got kinda lame in his old age.
While Cecil B. DeMille was working on the movie, he learned that a judge from Minnesota had been working with a Christian fraternal organization to send framed copies of the Ten Commandments to schools and public buildings for display. Not in anticipation of a big epic movie coming out, but because he thought America needed reminding of God's laws before those filthy beatniks could corrupt the nation.
We've always preferred a slightly amended version of the Ten Commandments.
Eager for publicity, DeMille contacted the judge and suggested that they replace the framed certificates with bronze tablets, but the judge said no way. Moses' tablets were in granite, so bronze wouldn't do (apparently no one bothered pointing out that framed paper certificates were just fine for the judge before DeMille and Paramount got involved).
So, with DeMille's backing, around 150 granite tablets were made and distributed across the country, with Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner dedicating a few of them in person.
Thorn in Paw
I, Yul Brynner, dedicate this monument. Now go see my movie!
Having Heston and Brynner on a faux religious tour was great publicity for the film, which grossed around $80 million. When the movie was out of theaters, the monuments stayed, and the group that helped the judge at the beginning of the story kept right on sending them out into the mid-'80s.
Of course, it was inevitable that sooner or later someone would say, "Hang on a second, what about the separation of church and state?" and the lawsuits ignited like a burning bush. In fact, the Ten Commandments monument that was the focus of the 2005 Supreme Court case Van Orden v. Perry was one of Cecil B. DeMille's very first attempts at viral marketing.
Heston's irresistibly doe-y eyes were another.
In other words, the Supreme Court handed down a decision as a result of a movie publicity stunt.

Assignment: Education - West Salem Technology - Part 1
Every student in grades 6-12 receives a device
Every student at West Salem High School has one of these grey bags. The bags hold a Mac Book Pro given to them by the school district.
"We instituted what we call a one to one initiative in technology where we provided every student a device in grades 6-12," said Troy Gunderson, superintendent of the West Salem School District.
"It's really great when you need to take notes," said Alyssa Leonard, West Salem High School senior. "If you don't feel like taking paper, it's good."
Beginning this Fall, 560 high school students received a Mac Book Pro and 425 West Salem Middle School students got an iPad.
"I think the world of anytime, anywhere, mobile individualized computing... I use this phrase... it's not really the future, it's today," said Gunderson. "If you're not doing that, you're living in yesterday. And we have an obligation to provide for our kids."
So several years ago, the district started looking at what they were spending on smartboards, replacement computers and infrustructure within the building, and decided to pool that money, along with other resources, and invest in new technology at a cost of $375,000 a year over four-years which is 2% of the district's annual budget.
"I always tell folks when you think about revoluntionizing the way you do work for 2% of your revenues that's a pretty substantial impact," said Gunderson.
And to make sure the district stays committed to technology, they financed the computers.
"The important part in the way we set this up is as we have fluctuations and changes in our budget, this isn't going to be something that's removeable," said Gunderson. "And that's a serious change in the way you look at it. We never enter a budget cycle saying, 'hey this year should we shut the water off.' That's because that's not optional. Well, neither is this."
So, this Fall every middle school and high school teacher, like science teacher Wayne Sackett, began incorporating the new technology into their lessons after undergoing training throughout the summer.
"We've got a lot of poeple that are just kind of getting their feet wet when some people are full-blown, turn in assignments already and things like that ," said Sackett. "So, it's pretty exciting."
"For us it was the perfect storm of our equipment is worn out. This is a great way to move our adults because we'll all be in the same boat together," said Gunderson.
Because as educators, they feel education needs to change with our changing society.
"This is like the printing press. This isn't just some happen-by-stance kind of thing," said Gunderson. "Four-hundred years ago, someone came up with a printing press and we had to teach people to read. Now someone came up with this digitized, all over the place, and we have to teach them how to function in that world. So that they can be dynamic, creative, make use of it, be winners with it, and not be victimized by it."

Police: Teen thought he would be shot, fight ensues
Victim: Confrontation might be been retribution for earlier fight
A fight broke out after a teenager confronted another teen with a gun Saturday morning, according to Madison police.
A 17-year-old told police he was walking in the 300 block of Clyde Gallagher Avenue at about 11 a.m. when a car pulled up and the front seat passenger jumped out and pointed at gun at him. The victim said the gunman made a statement that led him to believe he was about to be shot.
The victim was able to get the gunman in a bear hug and throw him to the ground as the gunman was swinging the gun trying to hit the victim, according to police.
The victim grabbed the gun while punching the other teen and the two exchanged blows, according to police.
The fight grew when the driver of the car got out and into a fistfight with a 16-year-old relative of the victim. Police said that at some point the driver was also punching the victim and the driver eventually fled. A friend of the victim also joined in helping to control the gunman.
Police said the victim and his friend were able to hold DQuann R. Jones, 19, until police arrived.
The first officer on the scene reported chaos with many people yelling. The officer said he drew his gun and ordered the struggling teens to the ground.
The victim told police the incident was probably revenge for an earlier fight where he fought with a Jones' friend.
Jones was arrested on suspicion of first-degree recklessly endangering safety, disorderly conduct while armed and abuse to a child.

ATI, graphics product group of Advanced Micro Devices, on Monday unveiled the world's first professional graphics accelerator with DisplayPort interconnection. The new graphics card will allow AMD to offer DisplayPort connection on the professional market and also enable certain proprietary-design professional and medical applications.
ATI FireGL V7700 professional graphics accelerator is based on ATI RV670 graphics processing unit with 320 unified shader processors and is positioned for Computer Aided Design (CAD), Digital Content Creation (DCC) and Medical Imaging professionals. The graphics card carries 512MB of memory onboard and is not the top-of-the-range ATI FireGL offering from AMD. The main advantages that the new graphics card has compared to predecessors is DisplayPort and PCI Express 2.0 support, which may be important for certain applications.
"The balanced power of the ATI FireGL product line has the accuracy and speed needed for medical imaging applications like mammography screening. For example, Mammography viewing uses 10-bit precision to help deliver the most information to the eye of the radiologist, and increasingly other medical applications will rely on 10-bit gray and 30-bit color rendering. With the additional speed offered by the PCI Express 2.0 interface, very large data sets are handled smoothly, saving time for busy medical staff," explained Albert Xthona, product manager for Digital Mammography at Barco.
It should be noted that ATI FireGL V7700 does not support resolutions higher than 2560x1600 via its DisplayPort interconnection, which is a drawback for next-generation monitors for medical use that will have resolution higher than that.
The ATI FireGL V7700 3D workstation graphics accelerator card is expected to begin shipping in April 2008 and will be available from system integrators and AMD channel partners worldwide. The manufacturer suggested retail price of the device is $1099
The DisplayPort is designed to enable a common interface approach across both internal and external display connections. Internal connections include display interfaces within a notebook PC or within an LCD display. External display connections include the interface between a source device such as a desktop PC, set-top box, DVD player or game console, and a display device such as a direct view flat panel or projection display for viewing video and graphics. The DisplayPort standard will also include an optional digital audio capability allowing streaming of high definition digital audio-video content over the interface, and provides performance scalability to enable the next generation of displays featuring higher color depths, refresh rates, and display resolutions.

The team competed in Tilden on Saturday, Dec. 1 and outscored all the schools present. The students and teachers worked extra hard this year to defeat powerhouse McMullen County Schools.
"The Redfish have been nibbling at the Cowboy's heels for five years finally knocking them out of the saddle," said Principal Stephen Maldonado. "It was a sweet victory for the team, teachers and the community."
The kids came close last year to defeating the Cowboys but fell short.
"After last year's near loss, McMullen County ISD stopped looking down their nose at little A-T," Maldonado said. "The teachers provided excellent guidance and inspired kids to excel. We even had Saturday practice at the junior high level. We are very proud of our 2012 championship team."

- Abstract
- We have carried out an HI stacking analysis of a volume-limited sample of ~5000 galaxies with imaging and spectroscopic data from GALEX and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, which lie within the current footprint of the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) Survey. Our galaxies are selected to have stellar masses greater than 10^10 Msun and redshifts in the range 0.025
2.6 and with light profiles that are well fit by a De Vaucouleurs model. We then stack HI line spectra extracted from the ALFALFA data cubes at the 3-D positions of the galaxies from these two samples in bins of stellar mass, stellar mass surface density, central velocity dispersion, and NUV-r colour. We use the stacked spectra to estimate the average HI gas fractions M_HI/M_* of the galaxies in each bin. Our main result is that the HI content of a galaxy is not influenced by its bulge. The average HI gas fractions of galaxies in both our samples correlate most strongly with NUV-r colour and with stellar surface density. The relation between average HI fraction and these two parameters is independent of concentration index C. We have tested whether the average HI gas content of bulge-dominated galaxies on the red sequence, differs from that of late-type galaxies on the red sequence. We find no evidence that galaxies with a significant bulge component are less efficient at turning their available gas reservoirs into stars. This result is in contradiction with the "morphological quenching" scenario proposed by Martig et al. (2009).

I sleep well, generally. So when a pain in my gut woke me mid-REM on a recent Saturday, I knew something was wrong. "Where is the appendix?" was my first thought. But no, this pain—a burning acute bullseye of pain—was on the other side. When I touched the spot, it burned like the proverbial poker.
After the stress of a major move, then a major move-in, followed by a dinner party in my new home for my beloved aunt who is moving too, a pain in my gut encouraged me to spend the day on the couch with tea and blankets. But my family encouraged medical care. "The smartest people I know," said my son, "are the stupidest when it comes to medical care." He was talking about his parents' habit of self-diagnosis and delay when it comes to health care.
My family was not alone in encouraging professional attention. WebMD told me to seek immediate care. Still, the sunlight slanted so beautifully across the wood floors and my chamomile tea was warm and comforting. Friends were no help either, telling me to get off the phone and call a doctor.
The second day of pain moved me to call my internist. He abruptly told me he could not diagnose abdominal pain in his office and that I should go to the emergency room. Under doctor's orders, I relented. Armed with a mocha latte, the Sunday New York Times and a foul mood, I grudgingly made my way through slushy Manhattan streets to the nearest ER. As soon as the intake nurse heard my complaint, I was hooked up to an EKG. I have to admit that got my attention. After that, I was assigned to a gurney and ignored for an hour or so except for a blood pressure check. The next five hours were spent listening to the non-stop profanity of a visitor in the next cubicle and endless perplexing beeps. Occasionally I was poked and finally given a pelvic exam for which I was probably overdue. As night fell, I declined a tray of hospital food and made my way home with orders to call my doctor. "Isn't that how I got here?" I thought.
Throughout the weekend, the pain persisted. I did not call the doctor on Monday. Instead, I traveled upstate for a meeting, thinking solitude would do me some good. I scheduled a massage and tried to breathe into the locus of pain. I was able to sleep. One morning I woke with the thought, "ulcer." The word was onomatopoetic with my pain. But the ER doctor had assured me that the pain I was pointing to was not my stomach.
I called Dr. Spinard. For those of you who just arrived in the river valley yesterday, Lorraine Spinard is our own medical wizard(ess). If she can't cure you with something grown in her garden, she can surely diagnose you. In the meantime, I had self-diagnosed a stuck illeocecal valve while studying the reflexology chart at the pedicurist, remembering a similar pain once before when Dr. Spinard poked me so hard I thought I would scream. It turns out I was remembering the pain but not the location. After about two minutes, the good doctor assured me I was pointing to my stomach and was exhibiting symptoms of an ulcer. She then tested and re-tested me with various substances and muscle responses. Because Dr. Spinard is a chiropractor, she cannot prescribe tests that my insurance will cover. That doesn't keep her from being shocked that the hospital did not perform an endoscopy immediately. I left the office 45 minutes later relieved to have been assessed by someone with an enquiring mind and a scientific method, who was not content to say "I don't know" and release me into the night. I paid her $35 and left with instructions to see a gastroenterologist, get an H-pylori test and endoscopy and drink aloe vera juice to relieve my distress.
(My next River Muse column will continue this theme by inquiring "Why did a 48-year-old father of two die of a heart attack not long after seeking medical care?")

- Add 1 teaspoon margarine and swirl the pan to distribute it. Add half of the eggs (1 cup egg substitute).
- Lift and rotate the pan so that the eggs are evenly distributed.
- As the eggs set around the edges, lift them to allow uncooked portions to flow underneath.
- When the eggs are mostly set but not dry (in 2 to 3 minutes), spread half of the spinach mixture over the eggs.
- Use a spatula to fold the omelet in half. Cut in half and transfer to individual dishes. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon margarine, eggs, and spinach mixture.
- Sprinkle each serving with about 2 tablespoons of tomatoes.
