MELISSA R., PETITIONER,v.THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE CITY AND COUNTY SAN FRANCISCO, RESPONDENT, SAN FRANCISCO HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY ET AL., REAL PARTIES IN INTEREST.
Trial Court: San Francisco City and County Superior Court Trial Judge: Hon. Linda Colfax Super. Ct. No. JD11-3300)
(San Francisco City & County
At the conclusion of the dispositional hearing for C.R. (born September 2006), the San Francisco Superior Court, Juvenile Division, denied reunification services for Melissa R. (Mother) pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code*fn1 section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), and set the matter for a hearing under section 366.26 to select a permanent plan for C.R.
Mother challenges these orders by petition for extraordinary writ. As discussed below, we conclude in this case of first impression that the juvenile court erred in denying reunification services under section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10). The evidence showed a half brother of C.R.'s had previously been removed from Mother's custody, and Mother subsequently failed to reunify with him, but it also showed the half sibling had been removed pursuant to Wisconsin law, and not "pursuant to Section 361" as the statute expressly requires. Accordingly we grant Mother's petition.
I. Background
Mother admitted she began using heroin when she was still a minor and had been an addict for many years. When she became pregnant with C.R., however, she became "really serious" about overcoming her addiction, completed a residential treatment program in 2006, began a methadone maintenance program, and remained drug free until 2011. In April 2011, James R., Mother's husband and C.R.'s father, died. It was some months after this event that Mother relapsed and began injecting methamphetamine. In early October 2011, Mother was hospitalized and remained there for some six weeks as she was treated for endocarditis, an inflammation of the inner lining of the heart. A medical social worker at St. Luke's Hospital reported this condition was "probably associated" with Mother's methamphetamine abuse.
The San Francisco Human Services Agency (Agency) detained C.R. on October 8, 2011, after Mother's hospitalization, and filed its initial dependency petition four days later. In its detention report filed the same date, the Agency expressed concern about whether the friend with whom Mother had left C.R. would be able to care for him adequately during Mother's anticipated six-week stay in the hospital. The juvenile court formally ordered detention on November 4.
An amended dependency petition filed February 22, 2012 set out a number of allegations under section 300, subdivisions (b) and (j). On March 5, Mother submitted to, and the juvenile court sustained, the following jurisdictional facts: (B1) Mother's ability to care for the minor was impaired due to a long history of substance abuse for which she was currently on methadone treatment, she had been abusing methamphetamine as recently as two days before her hospitalization, and she required treatment for substance abuse; (B3) Mother's ability to care for the minor was impaired because she had been hospitalized for six weeks due to a serious medical condition; (B6) at the time of her hospitalization, Mother had untreated mental health issues requiring assessment and treatment; and (J1) the minor's half sibling, M.R., had been the subject of a dependency proceeding in Grant County, Wisconsin, Mother had failed to reunify with M.R., and M.R. was currently in the care of his maternal grandmother under a legal guardianship.
The Agency initially recommended services for Mother. After learning of the earlier dependency proceeding in Wisconsin, however, it recommended instead that the juvenile court deny reunification services based on Mother's failure to reunify with C.R.'s half sibling, and also based on Mother's "recent non-compliance" with substance abuse treatment.
At the conclusion of the contested dispositional hearing on March 15, 2012, the juvenile court found by clear and convincing evidence that "Mother ha[d] failed to reunify with a sibling [and] ha[d] not subsequently made a reasonable effort to treat the problems that led to the removal of the sibling." On that basis the court denied reunification services for Mother pursuant to section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), and set the matter for a hearing under section 366.26.
Mother's petition followed. (See § 366.26, subd. (l).)
II. Discussion
"[U]p until the time the section 366.26 hearing is set, the parent's interest in reunification is given precedence over the child's need for stability and permanency." (In re Marilyn H. (1993) 5 Cal.4th 295, 310.) Thus at the time of the dispositional hearing, when a dependent child is ordered removed from the parent's custody under section 361, the standard of proof for removal is by clear and convincing evidence, and if the child is ordered removed the juvenile court must make orders regarding reunification services. (Cynthia D. v. Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 242, 248; see § 361, subd. (c).) The dependency scheme generally entitles a parent to receive a minimum period of reunification services--6 or 12 months depending on the age of the dependent child. (§ 361.5, subd. (a).)
Section 361.5, subdivision (b), however, sets forth certain exceptions--called reunification bypass provisions--to this "general mandate of providing reunification services." (In re Joshua M. (1998) 66 Cal.App.4th 458, 470.) These enumerated "bypass" provisions are the specific instances in which the Legislature has recognized "that it may be fruitless to provide reunification services," and once the court has found one of these specific instances applicable, "the general rule favoring reunification is replaced by a legislative assumption that offering services would be an unwise use of governmental resources." (In re Baby Boy H. (1998) 63 Cal.App.4th 470, 478.)
As noted above, the juvenile court denied reunification services under the exception enumerated in section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10). This section provides reunification services need not be provided to a parent when it is established by clear and convincing evidence that "the court ordered termination of reunification services for any siblings or half siblings of the child because the parent . . . failed to reunify with the sibling or half sibling after the sibling or half sibling had been removed from that parent . . . pursuant to Section 361 and that parent . . . is the same parent . . . described in subdivision (a) and that, according to the findings of the court, this parent . . . has not subsequently made a reasonable effort to treat the problems that led to removal of the sibling or half sibling of that child from that parent . . . ." (§ 361.5, subd. (b)(10), italics added.)
This particular bypass provision recognizes the problem of recidivism on the part of a parent who has been afforded "at least one chance to reunify with a different child through the aid of governmental resources and fail[ed] to do so" because "when another child of that same parent is adjudged a dependent child, it is not unreasonable to assume reunification efforts will be unsuccessful." (In re Baby Boy H., supra, 63 Cal.App.4th at p. 478.) If it is found to apply, the juvenile court must deny reunification services unless it finds, by clear and convincing evidence, that reunification is in the best interest of the child. (§ 361.5, subd. (c).)
Mother's contends section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) does not apply here because the evidence did not establish a sibling or half sibling was removed from her care "pursuant to Section 361"--as the provision requires--but rather pursuant to Wisconsin law.*fn2 Neither party has cited to, nor have we found, any decision construing section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), on this particular point.*fn3
In construing a statute we must ascertain the legislative intent, so as to effectuate the purpose of the law. (In re David (2012) 202 Cal.App.4th 675, 682 (David).) We begin by examining the words of the statute. " '[I]f the statutory language is not ambiguous, then we presume the Legislature meant what it said, and the plain meaning of the language governs.' " (In re Austin P. (2004) 118 Cal.App.4th 1124, 1129, quoting People v. Walker (2002) 29 Cal.4th 577, 581; see also In re B.L. (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 1111, 1116 [construing the term "siblings or half siblings" in § 361.5, subd. (b)(10)].) " 'Appellate courts may not rewrite unambiguous statutes' " or "rewrite the clear language of [a] statute to broaden the statute's application." (David, at p. 682.) It is only when the language supports more than one reasonable construction that we consult legislative history, the ostensible objects to be achieved, or other extrinsic aids in order to select the construction that most closely comports with the legislative intent. (Ibid.)
In our view the language of section 361.5 is clear and unambiguous, rendering it unnecessary to resort to any extrinsic aids. (David, supra, 202 Cal.App.4th at p. 682.) The plain language of the statute is limited to cases involving the removal of a sibling or half sibling from the parent "pursuant to Section 361." (Italics added.) The Legislature did not include any language that would permit the extension of this provision to a circumstance in which a sibling was previously removed pursuant to the dependency law of another jurisdiction, whether or not that law is comparable to section 361. It is undisputed here that a half sibling of C.R. was previously removed from Mother's custody pursuant to Wisconsin law, not "pursuant to Section 361." The clear language of section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) does not apply to these facts.
The Agency argues such an interpretation is too narrow, and one the Legislature could not have intended, since it would require that reunification services be provided to "recidivist parents" simply because their failure to reunify with a sibling occurred under the law of a sister state. We disagree for a number of reasons.
First, the Legislature knew how to write in language addressing out-of-state removal of a dependent sibling in section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), but chose not to do so. Examples of such language can readily be found in other provisions of California dependency law, including in the very same statute as the provision in issue. Section 361.5, subdivision (b)(8) provides that reunification services need not be provided for a parent if the child was conceived as a result of the parent committing conduct "outside of this state that, if committed in this state, would constitute one of [the] offenses" listed in Penal Code sections 288 and 288.5. Welfare and Institutions Code section 361.5, subdivision (a) authorizes the juvenile court to order services for the child and the biological father upon "proof of a prior declaration of paternity by any court of competent jurisdiction." (Italics added.) Even clearer language giving effect to out-of-state determinations in dependency cases is found in the California Rules of Court: "At the disposition hearing, the court may not set a hearing under section 366.26 to consider termination of the rights of only one parent unless . . . the rights of the other parent have been terminated by a California court of competent jurisdiction or by a court of competent jurisdiction of another state under the statutes of that state." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.695(l), italics added; see also rules 5.705, 5.708(l), 5.725(g).) Had the Legislature intended section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) to encompass sibling reunification decisions rendered in other states, it had the means to accomplish that result. It is not our function to "rewrite the clear language of [a] statute to broaden [its] application." (David, supra, 202 Cal.App.4th at p. 682; see also In re B.L., supra, 204 Cal.App.4th at p. 1116.)
Second, there are sound reasons why the Legislature might have chosen to limit the application of section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) to orders terminating reunification made under the laws and procedures of this state. That subdivision operates to deny a parent a highly significant right--the opportunity to engage in an effort to reunify with his or her child. In California, orders bypassing or terminating reunification services require proof of specified grounds by clear and convincing evidence in most instances. (§§ 361.5, subd. (b), 366.21, subd. (e); Cal. Rules of Court, rule 5.710(c).) California follows procedures that guarantee a parent a hearing on and right to contest such an order. The California Legislature in enacting subdivision (b)(10) of section 361.5 might well have been concerned that not all jurisdictions provided the same rights and level of due process protection to parents that California does. Under the Agency's interpretation of the subdivision, a California court would be required to accept the determination of a sister state in terminating services to the parent without regard to the degree of due process accorded to the parent by the sister state, the burden of proof required in establishing grounds for termination in the sister state, or whether services were terminated in the sister state for a reason that would not be applicable in California.
Wisconsin, the site of the prior dependency proceeding at issue here, illustrates some of the potentially outcome-determinative differences in procedure that can exist between California and other states. Under Wisconsin law, while jurisdictional facts must be decided by clear and convincing evidence in dependency cases, dispositional orders are determined using a preponderance-of-the-evidence standard.*fn4 (Wis. Stat. Ann., § 48.31; In Interest of T.M.S. (Wis.App. 1989) 152 Wis.2d 345, 355-357 [448 N.W.2d 282, 286-288].) In Wisconsin, both jurisdictional facts and facts warranting termination of parental rights can be established by motions for summary judgment without affording the parent a hearing. (In Interest of F.Q. (Wis.App. 1991) 162 Wis.2d 607, 611-612 [470 N.W.2d 1, 2-3]; In re Alexander V. (Wis. 2004) 271 Wis.2d 1, 17-19 [678 N.W.2d 856, 863-865]; cf. In re Mark K. (1984) 159 Cal.App.3d 94, 102-104 [summary judgment procedure inapplicable in California dependency proceedings].) We do not find it reasonable to impute to the Legislature an intention to require our courts to give effect to all prior out-of-state adjudications concerning reunification services for a parent's other children, without any distinction based on the procedures, proof burdens, and grounds upon which they were based.
Finally, we note the higher level of proof required for removal under section 361 is a critical part of California's overall dependency scheme, one of several procedural safeguards that led our Supreme Court to conclude in 1993 that California's current procedure for terminating parental rights does not violate constitutional due process. (See Cynthia D. v. Superior Court, supra, 5 Cal.4th at pp. 248, 253, 256.) We may deem the Legislature was aware of this decision when it first enacted section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10), three years later, and included at that time the language requiring a sibling's prior removal "pursuant to Section 361." (People v. McGuire (1993) 14 Cal.App.4th 687, 694; see Stats. 1996, ch. 1083, § 2.7, p. 7523, operative Jan. 1, 1999.)
For these reasons, we reject the Agency's interpretation of section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) and find the trial court erred in relying on the prior Wisconsin proceedings in denying reunification services to Mother.
III. Disposition
The petition for extraordinary writ is granted. Let an extraordinary writ issue directing respondent court to vacate its findings and orders entered March 19, 2012, denying petitioner reunification services pursuant to section 361.5, subdivision (b)(10) and setting a section 366.26 hearing. Respondent court is further directed to conduct a new dispositional hearing, and, after taking into consideration any new evidence or change in circumstances, make any appropriate orders. This opinion is final in this court immediately. (Cal. Rules of Court., rules 8.450(a), 8.490(b)(3).)

Comments about Master Forge Small Space Propane Gas Grill MFA350CNP:
I love my grill. I needed a small grill for a limited space and this was perfect. I got it on sale, so it was a very reasonable price. It heats up really evenly and quickly, cooks my food perfectly, and cleans up easily. I have never had any problems lighting it up, and my propane tank lasts forever since it is just a two burner. I have had this for a year now and it still looks brand new. I have used it on a hot day and in the dead of winter in the middle of snow and it cooks great in both climates. I love that the side tables fold down so I can have them up when needed, but put them down to really conserve space on a small deck. I have actually been surprised at how much food I can fit on the thing. I have cooked for 4 people easily. I also had room to do chicken on one side and vegetable kabobs on the other. Works great for my needs and who doesn't love to eat delicious grilled food all year long!
Comments about Master Forge Small Space Propane Gas Grill MFA350CNP:
We purchased this grill at a big box hardware store when it was on sale. I was not disappointed being it. It's not huge but big enough to grill for a dozen people, yet it's good for just my wife and I. Unfortunately, due to Sandy, it is not somewhere in the Barnegat, NJ bay. We're saving to buy another one.
This grill has more than met my expectations. Fired up every time.
We had put this grill to the test many times, Performed excellent.
Ease of Use
Easy to move the grill around, there are two shelves one on each side that fold down when not in use. Propane tank sits securely under the grill and is very easy to get to from the front.
Ease of Cleaning
The unit is extremely easy to clean, their was some thought in the design of this unit. The grates are very well constructed and keeping them clean is easy.
Just buy a decent cover, grill can really take a beating.
Design of unit of Excellent. This unit was well planned and is very sturdy.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PLAINTIFFv.JOHN BAX, DEFENDANT
I. Introduction
Defendant, John Bax, filed a pro se motion for reduction of his sentence under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) pursuant to Amendment 706 to the sentencing guidelines, which generally reduces the base offense level for crack cocaine offenses by two levels. His motion also seeks a lower sentence based upon his rehabilitation while he has been in prison, citing in part United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005).
Under this court's standing order for Amendment 706 cases, the Office of the Federal Public Defender was appointed to represent Defendant on the motion. The assistant public defender handling the matter has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel because the sentence-reduction motion can only be granted if Amendment 706 has the effect of lowering Defendant's applicable guideline range and since Defendant is a career offender, his guideline range has not been lowered. The assistant public defender also points out that under United States v. Mateo, 560 F.3d 152, 155-56 (3d Cir. 2009), we lack the authority to resentence on any other basis, so Booker does not assist Defendant here.
We have authority to reduce Defendant's sentence only if Amendment 706 has the effect of lowering his applicable guideline range. Because we agree with the public defender's position that the amendment does not have that effect here, we will deny the motion for reduction in sentence.
II. Background
In October 1993, a jury found Defendant guilty of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute crack cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1) and 846.
The PSR calculated Defendant's guideline range. We accepted the PSR's calculations except for the drug quantity. The PSR used a crack-cocaine quantity between 150 and 500 grams, giving Defendant a base offense level of 34. But at sentencing on February 16, 1994, the court determined that Defendant's drug quantity was "well in excess of five grams," but that it could not be determined if the amount reached fifty grams. (Doc. 91, sentencing transcript at p. 20). That gave Defendant a base offense level of 26 and in the normal case a total offense level of 32, when other offense level calculations were added in.
However, Defendant had two prior drug-trafficking convictions, thus making him a career offender for the purposes of U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1. Because the statutory maximum sentence for a crack-cocaine offense involving Defendant's drug quantity was forty years, under section 4B1.1(b)(B) Defendant's total offense level became 34. With a criminal history category of VI, also based on Defendant's career-offender status, Defendant's guideline range was 262 to 327 months. Defendant was sentenced to 286 months' imprisonment.
III. Discussion
The United States Sentencing Commission has authority to amend the guidelines, 28 U.S.C. § 994(o), and to provide that any amendment has retroactive effect. Id., § 994(u). Under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2), a defendant can seek the benefit of an amendment by a motion to modify his sentence. Any sentence reduction must take into account "the factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) to the extent that they are applicable" and "must be consistent with applicable policy statements issued by the Sentencing Commission." Id.
U.S.S.G. § 1B1.10 (Policy Statement)(effective March 3, 2008) is the applicable policy statement. In pertinent part, it provides that under section 3582(c)(2) a court "may reduce the defendant's term of imprisonment" "when the guideline range applicable to that defendant has subsequently been lowered as a result of an amendment to the Guidelines manual listed in subsection (c) below." Id., § 1B1.10(a)(1). Amendment 706 is listed in subsection (c). However, "[a] reduction is not consistent with [the] policy statement and therefore is not authorized under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(2) if . . . an amendment listed in subsection (c) does not have the effect of lowering the defendant's applicable guideline range." Id., § 1B1.10(a)(2)(B).
In determining the effect of the amendment on the defendant's sentence, and essentially to determine whether it lowers his applicable guideline range, the court: shall determine the amended guideline range that would have been applicable to the defendant if the amendment(s) to the guidelines listed in subsection (c) had been in effect at the time the defendant was sentenced. In making such determination, the court shall substitute only the amendments listed in subsection (c) for the corresponding guideline provisions that were applied when the defendant was sentenced and shall leave all other guideline application decisions unaffected.
Id., § 1B1.10(b)(1).
As noted, the policy statement tells us not to reduce Defendant's sentence if Amendment 706 "does not have the effect of lowering [his] applicable guideline range." Id., § 1B1.10(a)(2)(B). And in determining whether it lowers his applicable guideline range, we simply replace the amendment "for the corresponding guideline provisions that were applied when the defendant was sentenced and . . . leave all other guideline application decisions unaffected." Id., § 1B1.10(b)(1).
In doing so, Defendant's guideline range remains unaffected by the amendment. It is true that under the amendment his base offense level is 24 instead of 26, in line with the general two-point reduction in the base offense level made by Amendment 706. However, the career-offender guideline still operates to raise his total offense level to 34 and to give him a criminal history category of VI. Hence, Defendant's guideline range remains at 262 to 327 months, and we can grant him no relief. See Mateo, supra, 560 F.3d at 155 ("Because Amendment 706 does not lower Mateo's sentencing range due to his status as a career offender, he may not seek reduction in sentence under § 3582(c)(2).").*fn1
Defendant does not just seek the benefit of Amendment 706. Citing in part United States v. Hicks, 472 F.3d 1167 (9th Cir. 2007), he also believes that his section 3582(c)(2) motion allows him to invoke United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005), as an independent basis for reducing his sentence by treating the guidelines as advisory. He argues that his rehabilitation while he has been in prison justifies a reduction.
We cannot grant this relief. In Mateo, supra, 560 F.3d at 155-56, the Third Circuit decided that a motion under section 3582(c) is limited to consideration of the effect of the retroactive amendment on the defendant's sentence, and specifically rejected the use of Booker in such proceedings.

Discussion in 'iPhone' started by jordskee, Jul 9, 2010.
Any new info on the iPhone 4 in canada?
After researching, there is no updates on releases for iPhone 4 in Canada. Keep checking the phone providers websites.
LMAO did you even read the OP?
? Hmmmmmm
Confused much?
Its quite obvious your beingn a complete fool trying to make fun of me, I put what I put - if its wrong, correct me. We are all wrong sometimes. Dont drag it on. Geesh.
I'm not trying to make fun of you, I was actually trying to see if you were just joking, I didn't think you really didnt get the single sentence he wrote..
and no, I haven't gotten any emails from Rogers or Bell regarding the releases. I don't even think the phone companies even know when it will be released. Perhaps even Apple doesn't even know..
Hopefully we find out soon though!
dude, iMikkie, you're the one being confused...he asked about the iPhone 4 being released in Canada.
rumor has it around July 28th,
some cell providers around the world have been tweeting this.
Sorry no source, as I don't remember where I read this.
Or even as early as July 23. Rumors say that workers are to start their shifts at 7 am, and no one is allowed to book time off that day. So, yeah, could be the 23rd.

Rise rise and rise of Aam Aadmi Party-AAP and its effects
Bada Mouth2013-12-09
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has bring a positive attitude in Indian political air. The party has broken all conventional beliefs and emerged as one of the fastest popular party of India.
The timeline of parties rise is:
Formation of India Against Corruption group
Anna Hazaare joining the group
Agitation and hunger strikes in Delhi
IAC forming a political party
Anna Hazaare withdrawing support
Kejriwal reporting the donation and appeal of no more donation (first time any party did so)
Contesting the Delhi elections and gaining a huge support
The party has won 28 seats in Delhi, its a record by any new party. AAP was formed after many political leadrs challenged Kejriwal to form a party and contest elections.
Kejriwal was challenged by chief Minister of Delhi, he contested against her and won by a good margin.
The thing to watch would be how Kejriwal replies to Kapil Sibal's challenge. Will Kejriwal even defeat Kapil Sibal in General Elections of 2014?
CA Pulkit Sharma2013-12-09
That would be a good fight. Kapil contests from Chandani Chowk and in this election Congress candidate won from Chandani Chowk.
It would be intresting to see if Chanani Chowk changes the mind and vote against Congress.
Vedanta Deshika2013-12-16
Pulkit ,i am a layman in political matters, however have been watching and hearing a lot about AAP and Mr Arvind Kejrwiwal these days after their humongous win in Delhi.
Waiting to see if anything can change to better , in this country
Vedanta Deshika2013-12-16
I wish the Lokpal bill is passed asap and the next step can be taken to start cleaning this country, waiting to see the 3 main things in Lokpal
1. CBI & Prime minister under Lokpal and also the lower bureaucrates
2. Citizen's Charter for all the government approvals, services
3. Appointment of Lokayuktas in every state

Finally back in Paris.
20 hours ago I couldn't believe I was doing this. This meaning I'm travelling alone with a one way ticket from SFO to CDG. The flight over was OK. Had a hard time sleeping and wasn't interested in a lot of the options available on British Airways. As we were making our descent into the city, I could see the sun going down and amazing sunset colors through a passenger's window. Oh how I wish I could've been on a bridge over the Seine at that moment. Hot pink with shades of purple and orange were in the sky as I waited in baggage claim, which made me want to bolt outside to catch what I could on my camera. Unfortunately that would also mean I wouldn't be able to get my luggage since it was in a secure area. Sigh.
I followed the instructions my host gave me. Texted her that I was on my way via RER B and should see her soon. It was fairly easy to find my apartment thanks to the friendly Parisians I encountered. The stereotype (the French are rude and not nice) did ...

I remember sitting at Williams arena one year ago tonight during Tubby's Tip-off, wondering who the tall skinny kid was. He looked incredibly athletic, though lanky. He could get off the floor incredibly quickly, had long, long arms, and moved like a player a foot shorter than him. But no one knew who he was, where he came from, and why someone that at first glance at least looked like they desperately needed to see the floor for the Gophers to get better was such an unknown.
Thank goodness Tubby showed up.
In between his freshman and sophomore seasons, Damian Johnson went from little used and little known to a game changer that may have had more of an impact on last season than anyone else other than Tubby Smith. Almost out of nowhere to become the team's second leading rebounder, leading shot blocker, and the teams second best stealer. What was Monson thinking?
What we like
Damian Johnson was made for Tubby Smith's defensive system. He has quick feet, enabling him to be a lock down defender in half court situations. He also has length and can leave his feet very quickly, surely to bring back memories of Tavarus Bennett. His defensive skills were self-evident because of his physical gifts, but he has a decent offensive game as well. Towards the end of the season he was beating people off the dribble, posting up, and even knocking down a few outside shots.
What needs to improve
Free throws, free throws, free throws. Johnson shot just above 55% from the free throw line. Luckily he shot his best free throws in the closer games, but he might not be that lucky this year, and as we all know, one bad free throw shooting game can change a season. Johnson also needs to improve his overall offensive game. While he showed flashes late in the year, he never became a player that drew the attention of the defense. Damian Johnson won't sneak up on anyone this season, and he needs to be ready to handle the increased scrutiny.
What to expect
Damian Johnson should be the starting power forward for at least the first part of the season, and maybe the whole season depending on how the new Gophers turn out. While he doesn't have the prototypical Big Ten body, he showed time and time against that this was more of an advantage than anything. With another year of experience and plenty of playing time available, Johnson should be a star. Ten points per game, five rebounds, and steals, blocks and assists adding up to at least 5 per game should land him on one of the all-conference teams.

Russian Classical Music
Russian classical music has a proud history of celebrated composers, conductors and musicians. For aficionados of classical music and for those who will be visiting Russia and Ukraine's historic concert venues, we've created a overview of this cherished art form. Included is a brief history of classical music in Russia, CDs, LPs and mp3s with the works of great Russian composers, as well as a list of must see concert halls.
See also: Drama Theatre, Opera and Ballet
Russian Classical Music Background
Classical music in Russia can be broken down into several different periods of the Classical, Romantic, and Soviet eras. Throughout each period, Russian and Soviet conservatories have produced numerous celebrated composers, as well as a wealth of renowned musicians and conductors.
Some of Russia's most recognized musicians include pianists Vladimir Horowitz, Sviatoslav Richter and Emil Gilels, violinists David Oistrakh and Gidon Kremer, as well as one of the greatest cellists of the 20th century, Mstislav Rostropovich.
Western music tradition was originally introduced to Russia by Czar Peter the Great in the early 18th century as part of his reforms to modernize Russian society. During the reign of subsequent Russian rulers, the imperial court invited many prominent Italian musicians who brought with them Classical traditions of opera, chamber music and symphony. While this foreign influence helped inspire Russia's early Classical musicians, Russian composers were also sent abroad to refine their skills. A few of the early Russian / Ukrainian composers of the Classical period include the likes of Maksim Berezovsky, Dmitri Bortniansky, and Artem Vedel.
It didn't take long until a number of Russia's Classical composers started to use native music traditions (Russian themes and tunes, Russian - vernacular language) in their own compositions. The first to do so was Mikhail Glinka, the "father of Russian Classical music". Glinka helped pave the way for a new generation of Russian composers who's works - based on Russian history, folk tales and literature - are regarded as Romantic Nationalism. The most famous composers of this style, belonging to a group known as The Five (1856-1870), included Mily Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.
Alexander Borodin
Modest Mussorgsky
Another, more conservative, organization of the same era was the Russian Musical Society (RMS). Founded by brothers Anton and Nikolai Rubinstein in 1859, the RMS sought to broaden music training and raise musical standards in Russia. A forerunner to both the Saint Petersburg (1862) and Moscow (1866) Conservatories, the RMS was an integral catalyst to professional music education in Russia.
Training from Russia's new conservatories, along with inspiration and tutelage from "The Five", helped develop many great Romantic era composers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. A few familiar names include the great Peter Tchaikovsky, Sergei Rakhmaninov, Igor Stravinsky, Alexander Scriabin, and Sergei Prokofiev.
Peter Tchaikovsky
Alexander Scriabin
Sergei Rakhmaninov
Radical social changes of the 1917 Russian Revolution brought about sweeping changes in Russian music. While some of Russia's great composers and musicians fled abroad, others stayed behind and embraced experimental Avant-Garde style compositions. In 1923, the Association for Contemporary Music (ACM) was founded by Nikolai Roslavets as a means to facilitate and promote modernist, Avant-Garde music.
The Avant-Garde period, while innovative, was fairly short-lived. By the early 1930s experimental, ultra-modern forms of art, including music, fell out of favor with Joseph Stalin. The Soviet leader favored the style of Socialist Classicism, music that could be scrutinized and kept within the conforms of the broader Socialist policy.
A few distinguished names of early Socialist Classicism included composers Prokofiev and Dmitri Shostakovich. Falling under the scrutiny of the Union of Soviet Composers (established in 1932), Prokofiev and Shostakovich, like all Soviet composers of the era, were restricted from outside influence and expected to create patriotic scores, supportive of Communist ideology.
Anyone experimenting or deviating from the norm was branded a "formalist", as was the harsh criticism towards Shostakovich after the 1934 release of his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.

the level was based on an Xmen game wasn't it?
Really Great!
Great movie! Those 3d effect were awesome and the fights and all were superb! I really love this one! Great job!
Very nice with the 3d blocks and the sort of shadow tracing thing when the sticks were moving. Nice ending on it too^^
Not too bad.
Although it's obviously heavily influenced by Xaio Xaio, it's decently fun to watch nevertheless. Good job and keep it up!
really cool stick movie, the 4 is for the moral in the end. How do you do that 3d stuff?

FTA warns haulage drivers to prepare for French breathalyser rules
The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has issued a reminder to haulage drivers travelling through France that they will be required to carry a special breathalyser kit.
Under the changes, fleet motorists will be expected to carry a single-use breath test kit from the start of next month, though fines for not carrying one will only begin on November 1st.
The new measure has been introduced in an attempted to curb the amount of drink-driving witnessed in the Gallic region. Figures estimate that as many as 4,000 deaths in France last year were caused by drink driving.
French authorities hope that the inclusion of this new breathalyser will reduce this number with drivers able to test themselves before travelling. Police meanwhile, will continue to operate tests on any driver they suspect of being over the limit.
In a bid to help fleet drivers travelling across the continent, Shopfta will be stocking the disposable breathalysers recommended for the new initiative.
Sam Law, General Manager of Shopfta said:"If companies want to guarantee that they have breathalysers in their vehicles in time for November, when the law is enforced, they need to order now for delivery in October.
"This pre-ordering will help us to ensure we have sufficient stocks to fulfil all orders, as we are already experiencing extremely high demand."

Not content to let an apparent source of consternation lie harmless, as with the proverbial sleeping dog, we brought out the EPA's much-maligned lead-paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule for a shot across the bow of the good ship Durability + Design "Weekly Poll."
If you hadn't seen the question, it's the current No. 1 hit playing at Weekly Poll.
Why, we asked, should everyone try to forget the aggravations and headaches of this workaday world, just because it's time to bring out the holly and try to be jolly? Instead, let's remind anyone who likes to vote in polls that, in the spirit of the EPA, we're here to be of help.
So Scrooge—pardon me, the boss—said, "Yeah, that's a good idea…let's do a poll on that RRP rule."
This particular news bureau, eternally hungering for a story, decided to go have a look-see at the poll results as of Wednesday. Here's what we found out:
Question: What should the federal government do to respond to criticisms of the new lead-paint Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule?
Option 3, making building owners share responsibility, is getting the strongest support, rather decisively.
And you know, it does seem like a logical approach…contractor tells building owner about the law, as he's supposed to do; owner says thanks, but I don't want to pay any extra for the work, so don't worry about all that.
Problem is, it doesn't work that way. It might have, except the EPA decided not to include a "waiver" provision that would allow the owner to take a pass in this fashion.
Without that waiver option, one of these other approaches (options 1, 2, 3, or 4) may be needed to make the RRP rule work as it's supposed to. Based on our poll, option 3 is viewed as the least-bad alternative to a not-so-good government initiative—or at least one not so well thought out.
Then there's option 5—it goes something like "may the R.R.P. go and R.I.P."
Or, put another way, "Bah. Humbug."
Sorry. 'Tis the season to be jolly. And that's as it should be.
On that note, we'd like to wish everyone the happiest of holidays, a merry Christmas, and a New Year that will bring better times, especially to those who are fighting and risking their lives to ensure our freedoms and our blessings in this great nation.
Comment from Steve Ferris, (12/28/2010, 2:22 PM)
Good luck. The EPA is going to keep going after the painting industry with this flawed law because:
A) They gotta show that they're doing something.
B) "Painters" don't have half as many votes as "Homeowners". They're not them going after the people who butter their bread.
That's why I feel heightened enforcement is the only solution that they could go for. Why?
A) It goes after a minority group without any effective lobbying--your friendly neighborhood painting contractor.
B) It funds itself and really will show a profit for the EPA.
However, bureaucrats being who they are, likely nothing will be done though. And we'll be stuck with this regulations tries to deal with the problem of lead poisoning of painters and residents in a very imperfect way that punishes the law abiding painters and doesn't really go after the guys who avoid getting licenses, insurance, and paying their taxes. But hope springs eternal.

text: I'm hoping the iPhone 4G will be announced ASAP but I do think January 27th is a bit too early since they would not want the iSlate to be overshadowed by the new iPhone. So what features do you want on the new iPhone? This is my list (try to stay realistic): - Better battery life! (removable would be nice) - OLED screen - Better camera with flash (5mp is almost certain) - Processor and RAM on 3GS are fine for me but an upgrade is always welcome - Multitasking built-in (no more backgrounder required) - Thinner - If the rumors are true, a touch sensitive case would be really cool (it'd be similar to the Apple's Magic Mouse) - Video-conferencing would be nice although I don't really require it - Glowing Apple logo would look extremely amazing! I have a feeling the iPhone 4G is going to be great!

A Journey's End
Today my husband and I are heading out-of-town together. Usually this is a good thing. Over the past few years he and I have begun taking little trips–sometimes just for the day, sometimes overnight–that don't involve the kids and are just for us. We don't do much typically. I think one of my favorite weekends we drove up to Jackson, a small town in the foothills, where we spent the afternoon wandering quaint little streets window shopping and just relaxing. Oh, well we window shopped that is until we came to the TWO STORY USED BOOK STORE! I thought I had died and gone to heaven! What a great store! I would have happily spent the rest of the weekend just browsing but since my husband doesn't quite share my obsession with books I was relegated to only a couple of hours there before he drug me out and took me to dinner.
The next day we packed up the Corvette and headed out without any real plan. We ended up driving down Highway 49 through all the old Gold Rush towns–Fort Sutter, Sutter Creek, etc–until we arrived in Auburn. It was a beautiful, relaxing day and we ended it with a visit to our best friends who live in Lincoln, a small town outside of Roseville.
Today I will be visiting those friends again and spending the night there, but this trip will not start out fun and relaxing. Before we head over to their house we are going to go see my god-daughter and help her plan her mother's funeral. My god-daughter is in the Air Force, stationed at Beale, and she has one of those kinds of jobs that if she told me what she does exactly she would have to kill me sort of thing.
This young woman has been through a lot in her short life. Her brother served in Iraq in the last war. 82nd Airborne, Special Forces, Army Ranger. He served with honor and pride, but he came home a changed man. He is doing well now, but it took awhile. She decided to join the Air Force when she realized she wasn't going anywhere in her own life. She moved in with us after she graduated from high school because she and her mother didn't get along very well at the time. Next thing I know she is off in Texas in boot camp and the rest is history. She has been in Florida, Arizona, and before she ended up at Beale she served a year in Korea. She loves what she does most of the time and is considering re-signing for another 6 years when her contract comes up for renewal in a year.
Her mother became very sick while my god-daughter was stationed in Texas the last time, and she has steadily gone down hill since. She is dying of kidney failure and is even now in the last stages of the disease. She started dialysis when she moved here to live with her daughter, but a few weeks ago she chose to stop all treatment. No, she can't get a transplant. Yes, the disease would finally kill her no matter what. So yes, she has chosen to die.
I am not sure how I feel about this. I think I am angry at her for doing this to her daughter. I am angry that she has chosen the path she has because my husband is going to lose his best friend in the whole world. They have been friends for over 20 years and I am not sure how he is going to handle this loss. He's never lost anyone before that he was close to. He was in denial at first– "Oh, she's just throwing a tantrum, she's just mad, she will get over it." But last weekend he called her and went up and saw her and realized this isn't a tantrum. This is death. She is done fighting, she is done with being sick, and she doesn't want to live this way any more. It's her choice.
There were other paths she could have chosen in the beginning. She is not a candidate for kidney transplant because she uses medical marijuana to alleviate the symptoms of her disease. Without it she cannot eat or sleep, and the pain becomes unbearable. She is a strong advocate for the benefits of marijuana for patients suffering various ailments, especially those with cancer, and has been involved for years with studies and groups that are seeking to make it legal for medical use. I admire her for that, but not at the cost of her life. Not at the lost opportunities to enjoy her future grandchildren or the company of her own children. Yet this is the course she has chosen, and I have to respect that. I cannot judge her. I can only be there for my husband and my god children and support them as we go through this process of acceptance and yes, even grief. I have known her my whole life–my cousin dated her brother back in the day–and for me it's the reality of someone my age passing away. It's the finality of it all. It's death. And I am not sure I am ready to say good-bye just yet.
So today will be difficult. My husband and she have discussed her demise at length over many phone calls and visits in the past year. He knows what she wants and is ready to step up and help her daughter make those arrangements necessary so that when she does pass her daughter isn't overwhelmed with details and formalities. I am going because he asked me to come, and I know he just needs me to be there as the reality of what they are doing slowly sinks into his heart. Yes, I am in tears as I write this. This will be one of the hardest things I have done in recent memory, but since I love them all I have to be there for them. If she makes it to Christmas it will be just because of the force of her will. Either way we will be saying good-bye to a dear friend sooner than either of us thought we would.
I didn't mean to be such a downer this morning. This was on my mind so I thought I would share it. Blogging is about talking about what is going on in our lives and the reality is that it's not all sunshine and butterflies. Life gets real and things happen that aren't pretty or fun, but it is what it is. If all I ever had were good times, how could I be a writer? If I never experienced the harsher realities of life, how could I enjoy the beautiful things? There has to be a balance, a give and take, the good and the bad, for better or for worse. It's what makes life interesting and worth the effort of living it.
I always end with a question, but today I am not sure what that question should be. I do not want this to be a moribund recital of how we have all lost loved ones–I am pretty sure that most of us have walked this path at least once in our lifetimes–and this is pretty depressing as it is. I think I wrote this because I knew we had all been where I am today. Maybe not in the same way, and maybe not today, but either we have all been here or will be here some day. We know that we will all have to make these choices sooner or later. I shared this because I know you will all understand, and I take comfort in that I am not alone. I am not asking for sympathy–I just needed that affirmation that this too shall pass and life will go on…

You're all wrapped up, there's ice beneath your feet, you have an 'in case of emergency' umbrella and 6 months' worth of tissues in your bag; winter in the UK can be harsh to say the least.
Across the world other countries are basking in the sun. So why don't you take your holiday a little later this year and enjoy some amazing winter sun.
Here are some of our favourite destinations to choose from.
This laidback yet lively destination is perfect if you want to escape the chill of the British winds. With temperatures hitting the high 20's and low 30's from November to February, topping up your tan couldn't be more enjoyable.
Enjoy the seven mile powder-soft white beach in Negril for the ultimate in relaxation, before taking a dip in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea. With the Jamaican pace being so relaxed, you'll feel like you're resting even when taking part in various activities. Explore the underwater spectacles that lie just beneath the surface with a little diving at James Bond Beach, and get up close with the colourful marine life; or check out the coral reef at Public Beach.
If you want a bit more activity, then head to Montego Bay, where horse riding, zip lining, golf and rafting will give you hours of fun. You could even head into the Blue Mountains for a hike or cycle, and get a truly in-depth look of what this stunning island encompasses.
With an endearing vibe that flows throughout the streets, you'll feel like you've been transported back in time. Absorb the whirlwind of colours and embrace the unique culture in temperatures ranging from 18 to 28°C.
With fabulous pristine beaches throughout Cuba, you'll be spoilt for choice. Varadero Beach is a popular choice to feel the soft golden sand between your toes, as you unwind and achieve a bronzed winter look. Other beaches such as Cayo Coco in Jardines Del Rey, offer white sands and a tranquil atmosphere; ideal for sipping cocktails in the sun.
There's plenty more to do in Cuba other than chilling on the beach. For the more active tourists take a trip to Cuba's highest peak in the Sierra Maestra Mountains. The view here is spectacular and provides a look over some of the country's most beautiful scenery. Nature lovers can also head to the tranquil Turquino National Park and observe exotic plants, flowers and wildlife. Don't forget to immerse yourself in this unique culture by cruising around in a classic car, try your hand at cigar rolling and check out the fascinating Revolution Square in Havana.
One of the most diverse countries within the Caribbean, the Dominican Republic offers the ultimate in relaxation. Make the most of the diverse beaches, lagoons, towering mountains and waterfalls in temperatures of 30°C.
Get a complete paradise vibe as you relax on the Dominican Republic's cayos (islands) such as Isla Saona. This palm fringed island is just off the coast of Bayahibe and provides soft white sand, clear blue waters, coral gardens filled with colourful marine life, and tropical birds in the stunning gardens. Feast your eyes on all this whilst topping up your tan.
Of course it's important to check out the entire utopian aspect of this beautiful country. Take a shower at Salto Del Limón, a huge waterfall hidden in the depths of the palm forest; perfect for adventurers and nature lovers. Then there's the Gri Gri Lagoon, tucked behind San Juan which you can explore on a boat trip, before going for a swim or snorkel in a secluded cove.
Wildlife and beauty comes in abundance here, and watching it is the perfect way to beat the winter blues. Take an off-Road safari where you can see various sugar plantations, huge rivers and tropical rainforests, or snap pictures of humpback whales on the Samana Peninsula. More than 10,000 whales venture to this destination between mid-January and March; some travel from as far away as Norway.
This is only the beginning of what these fabulous destinations have to offer. But if you're bored of seeing a constant stream of rain pass by your window, pack your bags, take an adventure and seek out that coveted winter sun.
