Somewhere in my heritage there must be an Italian because I could eat my weight in Italian food. Pasta is one of my particular favorites.
Many of my adventures in the kitchen venture to the culinary wonders of Italy, accompanied by the dulcet tones of Dean Martin playing in the background.
Along with a great taste, pasta dishes often are quick to make. And, if you have a large party for dinner, it's easy to make for the masses.
I ran across a recipe for Creamy Bacon Carbonara from a website with a name that made me giggle, www.justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com.
Carbonara is an Italian sauce based on eggs, cheese and bacon. That's right, bacon. I'm not sure why but bacon can make any dish taste better.
Learning a lesson from a previous food column dish, I read through the entire recipe carefully before beginning. Because I like a lot of sauce on pasta I took the blogger's note to heart and doubled the recipe for the sauce.
The sauce is a cheesy cream sauce and the red pepper flakes add a slight kick.
Also, pay attention to the blogger's note about over cooking the sauce. Because eggs are a part of the base, if you cook it too long or at too high a heat the eggs in the mixture will begin to thicken and resemble scrambled eggs. A scrambled egg sauce is not as pleasing as a creamy cheese sauce.
I also have a tendency to use whole wheat pasta. In my head it makes me feel like I'm eating healthier.
For this dish I used thin whole wheat spaghetti. Carbonara traditionally is served with spaghetti but other kinds of pastas can be used.
The best thing about a pasta dish is it is easy to share. For this adventure my mother was able to come over and share dinner with me. We are both fans of pasta and both enjoy creating yummy food to share over good conversation.
The pasta was paired with a cherry tomato caprese salad. The caprese salad included sliced red and yellow cherry tomatoes, basil and cheese tossed in balsamic vinegar. Because pasta in cream sauce can be a heavy meal, a light caprese salad is a perfect side dish.
Some toasted bread with Italian spices rounds out any Italian meal.

Creamy Bacon Carbonara
2 eggs
1/4 cup cream or heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup Parmesan
Fresh diced parsley or dried flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 lb. bacon fried crisp then crumbled
1 small onion, chopped (optional)
3 mushrooms sliced (optional)
1/2 pound pasta
Beat the eggs, cream, Parmesan, parsley, salt and red pepper flakes together in a bowl using a fork. (Blogger doubled the sauce recipe for her dish.)
Fry the bacon until crisp, then crumble and set aside.
With 1 -2 tablespoons bacon grease, sauté the onion and the mushrooms until the onions are translucent and golden.
Drain the pasta and while still warm, add to the onions and mushrooms. Pour cream mixture into the pasta, and stir over low heat for one to two minutes.
Crumble the crisp bacon over the top & serve with additional Parmesan.
Recipe notes from blogger: Saved a bit of the pasta water, just in case the sauce get thicker than you liked. If you're concerned about tempering the eggs, save 2 to 3 tablespoons of the hot pasta water. Slowly whisk it one tablespoon at a time, into the egg, cream, parmesan mixture and whisk continuously. Add the hot pasta water very slowly, so that you don't cook the eggs, until incorporated fully, then add the drained pasta to the mixture.

This is the best place I have found.
The freight will be high to CA so do a search for economy quart mayo jar and see if you can find a local producer. You get a good break if you buy at least a pallet at a time.

We use the round labels from onlinelabels.com also. That has our apiary info on it. I buy the Kerr jars from Walmart. They have the least raised lettering. I put the nutritional information and a label with the infant warning and crystalizing warning. If its local I put a little label indicating that too. All the labels on the jar come of when soaking the jar for a few hours so they can use it.

I sell about 60 - 70% of my honey in canning jars. I use Kerr jars with three smooth sides. I buy them at a great discount from one of the grocery stores, part of a chain of 3, that I wholesale my honey to. The price I get cannot be beat by any big box store. Negotiate something similar and buy back from your biggest customer. My back, your back type thing.
Besides that, Kerr jars are American made. I let my customers know that they are buying
local American honey packed in American made jars. Most understand the extra dollar or so that I charge to do this. The rest can buy chinese junk in chinese jars. Stand up for America in your purchases, and Americans who care will stand up for you and your product.

I agree that is why I buy the Kerr jars. Walmart has the Chinese jars also for a buck cheaper a case....they can keep them. For $.10 a jar I'll keep some Americans employed.

Up until this year, I used sticky labels on the sides of mason jars. As folks have said, it's tough to find a place for both a front and back label. Re-liquifying required placing those jars in zip-locs before their water bath.
This year, I tried something new. I used the free Avery Design Pro software to print circular labels on heavy paper. These labels go onto the lids and then the ring is spun down on top. I set it up to print two sizes - one for wide-mouth jars and one for regular-mouth jars (When canning jars go on sale, I grab them regardless of mouth size or brand.). With some messing around, you can get it to print a backside that aligns with the front. I used circle punches from a craft store to punch out the labels.
Here's the front:

Oregon study targets financial exploitation of elderly
Losses in millions; more than half committed by family members
SALEM, Ore. - A comprehensive study of elder financial exploitation in Oregon has been completed -- the first that paints a full, disturbing picture of financial abuse of Oregon seniors, officials said Tuesday.
The study of over 400 cases in 2011 was conducted through the Department of Human Services Office of Adult Abuse Prevention and Investigations.
"Financial exploitation of individuals over the age of 65 and with physical disabilities is the most commonly investigated type of abuse that community adult protective services addresses in Oregon," said Marie Cervantes, director of OAAPI. "By having all the facts in front of us, we are able to see trends and methods. This will help us to be able to come up with better prevention and education strategies."
Cervantes added that not only is financial abuse common, but it often goes hand-in-hand with other types of abuse such as neglect of care, verbal or emotional abuse.
"For many of our vulnerable adults that are exploited, this can mean years of hard work, money to pay basic living essentials such as food and electricity, and hopes for their future security are gone," she said. "Collectively, the financial exploitation of vulnerable adults deserves our attention."
Rebecca Fetters, who conducted the study, said Adult Protective Services told NewsChannel 21 the agency investigated nearly 2,800 cases of financial exploitation in 2011 (available not to just those over 65 but those over 18 with a physical disability).
Of the 2,782 cases, 757 were substantiated through investigations, Fetters said.
While "the cost is nearly impossible to quantify for many, many reasons," Fetters said, of the 419 cases she reviewed, 117 were substantiated with a total known to be taken of over $1.85 million.
"However, this is a gross underestimate of actual loss," she added. "Many cases did not include specific dollar amounts, many cases could only substantiate a fraction of what was probably actually taken, and this does not take into account the long-term cost of people (who) then need to access the Medicaid or other publicly funded services as a result of their loss."
The study also revealed that financial exploitation in Oregon takes many forms, not just money. This includes the theft of medications, jewelry, vehicles, real estate, food stamp benefits, ATM cards and personal property.
Also included in this study are cases in which undue influence was exerted on a victim to alter their estate plan, cases in which their identity was stolen for the purposes of obtaining credit, and cases involving high level, professional, international scams.
The sample for this study consisted of 78% individuals over the age of 65, and 22% individuals between the ages of 18 - 64 with a physical disability.
The oldest victim in the study was 102, with the youngest being 24.
The research showed that the major perpetrators of financial exploitation in Oregon are family members. This includes spouses, children, siblings, and grandchildren. Daughters were slightly more prevalent than sons.
Family relationships accounted for 55 percent of all alleged perpetrators. Beyond family members, the second most common type of alleged perpetrator was acquaintances, followed closely by non-relative caregivers.
The study also examined the frequency at which law enforcement was involved with adult protective services. Valuable forms of evidence were available to investigators regarding individuals who acted in fiduciary capacities and breached their duties.
All of Oregon's counties were represented in this study; however, certain counties had disproportionately higher rates of financial exploitation than others (based upon their population). These counties were: Tillamook, Clatsop, Multnomah, Douglas, Coos, Curry, Clackamas, Josephine, Jackson, Douglas, Grant, Harney, Malheur and Columbia.
The results of this study, and particularly the regional data, will be used to identify targeted areas of need throughout the state and to provide training and technical assistance to those areas.

Movie Review: Saving Mr. Banks

There's a whole heap of elfin twinkling going on in Saving Mr. Banks

Director: John Lee Hancock
Rating: PG-13
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures
Stars: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Paul Giamatti
There's a whole heap of elfin twinkling going on in Saving Mr. Banks, a film about the clash between Mary Poppins author Pamela Travers and Walt Disney, who unsuccessfully courted the writer for two decades in hopes of landing the film rights to her popular books about a starchy, no-nonsense, can-do nanny.
Tom Hanks plays Disney, all avuncular, kind and twinkly. Jason Schwartzman and B.J. Novak twinkle, too, as Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman, the peppy, eager-to-please young songwriters of catchy ditties like "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" and "Let's Go Fly a Kite." Even Colin Farrell, in too many flashbacks to Travers' troubled childhood in Australia, has a gleam and twinkle in his eye as the writer's constantly failing dreamer of a father, an alcoholic bank clerk. It's up to Emma Thompson as Travers to slice through all the treacle. Happily, that she does, and very crisply and cleanly, too. "I won't have her turned into one of your silly cartoons," she barks at Disney, trying to protect her literary legacy heroine—although badly needing money, the constantly complaining, self-protective shrew caved in more than she realized, as is dramatized in the making-of-Mary Poppins scenes that are so good, you wish there were many more of them.
Thompson, who created a magical nanny of her own named McPhee, gives a full-bore performance as the irascible but oddly likeable harpy. It's like the role is tailor-made for her. She's tough, smart, witty and, under that helmet of hair and rhino hide, vulnerable. The real-life Travers was a disagreeable and often unforgivable woman who changed her name, reinvented her past, had at least two long-term lesbian relationships and, at 40, adopted a boy she eventually sent off to boarding schools, leaving the boy's twin brother to a life of grinding poverty. Because Saving Mr. Banks is Disney financed, the John Lee Hancock–directed film from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, you won't be seeing or hearing any of that. You also won't see Hanks playing the visionary producer-showman-huckster's legendary darker side. You also certainly won't see him chain-smoke, even though the real-life Disney died of lung cancer several years after the release of Mary Poppins. Poppins turned out to be a massive box-office success, but Travers despised it, accused Disney of utter betrayal and refused to let him or his successors make any sequels. Don't expect a documentary here. Think of Saving Mr. Banks as holiday fare—gooey, thick, often irresistible eggnog with Thompson on hand to supply a welcome kick of rum.

Okay so the truth lies somewhere between my mistake and Seacrest's. I'll take it.

Brandon Taylor
With the 73rd pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers have selected Brandon Taylor, S LSU.
From NFL.com:
Taylor is a hardworking safety who was a physical presence for a highly touted LSU defense the past three years. There are some small hitches in his play that limit his draft value, but starting at LSU for three years is a testament to his NFL potential. He is a physical safety who likely will be selected late based off his experience at a high level.
Taylor is a physical safety who enjoys getting in the mix to support the run. He is an effective box player who puts himself in good positions when being the eighth man. He is highly productive and effective as a tackler, and he likes to throw his body around at receivers and let his presence be known. He can be dragged by some bigger players at times, but he rarely falls of a tackle.
Taylor struggles when covering in man, and in three years rarely has been put in a position where he has to do so. With the type of corners and athletic linebackers LSU has trotted onto the field during his tenure, Taylor has been able to play in the box to support the run and has little work in covering receivers.
How would you grade this pick? Does Brandon Taylor meet the Chargers needs and provide good value? Sound off in the comments below!

Expected to be a 2nd rounder. Will provide a great complement to Eric Weddle. Another nice addition on paper for AJ.
Bretow is 2 for 3 on his mock draft 2 months ago!!! ...Geez
spanos must threaten to fire aj every year

love this pick
Another great pic for the D completing the D-D-D chants some of us have had! Brandon Taylor along with Ingram and Reyes make this a very good draft for the D. Depth is still needed and OL help but this has been a very good draft for the Chargers and AJ.
- Pete Spinning said... Apr 27, 2012, 9:56:00 PM
I knew we'd get Taylor... Go LSU!
What can you say about Oakland's pick? Raider Nation asks... who did we pick? Utah? Blackshirts all over the state are wondering... why? I'm sure he's a good player, but definitely against the grain.
So, I guess the next question is!!!!!! Can Pagano make this work?
Still need OL depth / /backup RB / CB depth / TE depth.
Thank God for Gates for being that B-Ball "every-down" hall of famer! He allowed the Bolts to pick a pass rusher, instead of a TE, by playing through pain. He;s our MVP... even more than Tomlinson... who I LOVE!!!!I I hope Gates plays as long as Tony Gonzalez, but we don't trade him, and he retires a Bolt.
Let's see Gates break the records this year! Healthy! He's our #1... the rest of the guys should draw off of that!

Bolt Up

Great comments Triplook! He should threaten it every minute.
- Pete Spinning said... Apr 27, 2012, 10:26:00 PM
I hope this inspires Norv to be a better coach, because AJ didn't act like a complete idiot in this draft. We only gave up a 6th round pick for 3 good defensive players.
AJ protected his job this year, but GM is an all year job. The draft is the fun part. Now let's see him get on the field and inspire this team! I'd say his job depended on it, but SD is depending on it. We want a new stadium.
- Antonio Spellman said... Apr 28, 2012, 12:07:00 AM
I think I would go after RB2 and CB in the next two and then save the rest for FA unless Massie falls to us in the 4th. But I really want Rainey. I say we inquire about Mike Jenkins price since the Cowboys are trying to ship him. But I think the faith in Ghilcrest and Wright might be a little optimistic plus this is a deep corner draft.
massie would be great--id like to see brinkley get a sold shot he played great against KC--we need to keep this badass hardhitting draft going
Yeah...Fbhansen and Pete are using my D-D-D phrase!!! Thanks for your support! And we indeed now have drafted the D-D-D...I am loving the picks, AJ needs a foot up his ass annually! I would still like to nail a RB and OT to round out this shopping spree. I think a DB is still in need (remember Cason getting schooled toooo many times)?! But all in all I am getting excited again for May camps! The onus is all on OMG Norv....he better react the same as AJ did and produce. AJ got some talent and potential talent for him, he has more Offensive weapons than I think we have had in many years - scary! The Defense has been vastly improved and a new coach there should help (if he uses the players right). Let the practice begin!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ironic his own coach stated on air that the NFL needs safeties with size enough to go up and compete for the ball with the TEs in the league . Special teamer seems his ceiling .
Couldn't agree more but to be honest AJ's biggest misses lately have been in the draft so this is an awesome draft! AJ has been good at getting people off the scrap heap and I think we're going to see more of that as the other teams start dumping bodies. I have to say AJ for being a pompus ass is still good at finding value in other teams rejects.
Okay still not buying season tickets but I've moved closer to getting some game day walk up tickets! LOL "Onus on Norv" and so the air is let out of the ballon. ;P The reality is we have a bunch of new faces (yet again) and it's going to take time for them to learn how to play together (translation up and down year) so the real excitement is in the fact they should be good in a year or two...we'll see if Norv can work wonders and get this team back into the playoffs! Go Bolts!

Rihanna Reveals 'The Truth' Behind Chris Brown Love
Rihanna graces the cover of 'Complex' — SEVEN different covers, actually — and also reveals 'the truth' behind her relationship with Chris. You will not believe what she has to say! Read on to find out!
The nature and status Rihanna and Chris Brown's relationship is often kept under wraps by the famous twosome, so when one of them actually opens up about it during an interview, it's quite a big deal! In a new interview with Complex magazine, not only did Rihanna look incredible on an astounding seven covers, she also spoke candidly about "the truth" behind her relationship!
When Rihanna, 24, was asked about whether "Nobody's Business," her duet with Chris, 23, is about their relationship status, she first tried to shut the conversation down. "It's nobody's business," RiRi said "flatly." Before ending the conversation for good, the reporter tested their luck, asking why she and Chris would record a song about their relationship if it is, in fact, no one's business.
Rihanna Plays Coy
"Pardon me?" she replied. After the question was repeated, she answered, "It's the truth. Remember?" As she got up to leave, she added, "It's a fun record that The-Dream wrote and we loved the lyrics. You're still asking me questions about it so clearly you don't know." Meow!
While Rihanna may still try to shut down official conversations about her relationship with Chris, a source close to the pop star spoke with HollywoodLife.com, revealing that the two "are tight."
There's No Trouble Between Rihanna & Chris Brown
"She's not with any other dude," our insider told us. "She and Chris are tight, but [sometimes] a girl just need a little breathing space." Though Rihanna's been spotted out at club alone lately, the friend insists it doesn't have anything to do with her standing with Chris.
"She's just stepping out on her own for a minute, feeling herself and riding solo," our source said.
Do you wish Rihanna would finally talk about where she stands with Chris, HollywoodLifers?

What a joke.
I'm sorry I just see a huge gray area in this rule for the Refs to FUup the game, sorry about my language but I'm a little pissed.
So this beautiful play from Bradshaw would have been a foul or better said is going to be a foul from now on ? Please.
" Success is never final, but failure can be " B.P.
not that big of a deal. it has to be blatant and intentional. good find on that video
You can probably thank your owner...
New York Giants owner John Mara, a member of the competition committee that has recommended the change, said there was "a chance" a vote could be tabled until the May meetings in Boston.
"There was a spirited discussion," Mara said.
the way it is described doesnt seem too bad. No doubt there will be be some BS flags. So the RB has to use his shoulder and not his head......
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
It's just a matter of time before they ban tackling.

So, went to the track again on Wednesday. Air quality was great, not too humid, and just cool enough. 1st run was a 15.4, pretty good for my first run compared to previous 1st runs. Then I lined up next to this guy in a nissan (unsure what, it was heavily modded and debaged). He told me to try launching at around 3000 rpms instead of the 5000 rpms I was previously launching at. I tried it and I was surprised....it worked. I didn't have to slip the clutch as much, it didn't buck, it was one of those throw your head back and leave you smiling from ear to ear for the entire run kind of launches. I also had my best 60ft time ever ( 2.1) Yeah, I know, that's still unacceptable, but I just can't seem to get it below 2. I kept it WOT between shifts ( with the exception of shifting from 1st to 2nd). I ran a 15.07. My best is 15.02. I have a feeling that if I had done more runs I would have broke 15, but they were packed and I only got 3 runs. ( Don't even want to talk about the 3rd run...it was a waste of gas and time. ) Anyways, my conclusion is.....enough of this shit it's time for my exhaust system.
not trying to thread jack but one of my buddies from a lil car group here in town told me to try using the e-brake, like set the e-brake, then get the clutch to the friction point all while revving at desired launch rpm, and then just releasing the e-brake.
now i know this is very bad for the clutch but has anyone tried this with success??
What you've suggested will give you a nice jolt from the line. It will also bog the motor horribly. Congrats, you've just invented a way to put much more wear on the car while going slower.
I know I'm being a jerk and all but you're not the first person to drag race a manual transmission. There are decades of experience out there that you're spitting in the face of. Try mastering the RIGHT way before coming up with a NEW way.
EM BEFORE an exhaust? I've never heard that before. I know after install that I need some EM. Isn't it harder on the tranny to launch at higher RPMs? Wouldn't a 3000 rpm launch be safer than a 5000rpm launch? It's tough on the tranny no matter what, but is one better than the other? My WRX is stock, not pushing a lot of power to the drive train I mean....I don't claim to be an expert, but it seems that this conflicts with the info I've recieved on here in the past.
Yes, I said that wrong, let me put it this way. The day you do a TBE, you need to use some type of EM. The 04-05 ECU is not like the bug eyes. 02-03 could be ok without any em. But we need it. I would not launch the the WRX without a 6-speed swap/ppg gear box. Yes you may get away with it a few times(launching), but one day it will catch up to you!Cry!

Dangerous disease--the unexpected threat
Last week, Tarun Sehrawat, a 22-year-old Indian photographer for Tehelka magazine, died from cerebral malaria and its complications, according to several of his colleagues and media accounts. He had returned, ill, from a shooting assignment with Tehelka's reporter Tusha Mittal in May. The team had been covering the ongoing Maoist revolt in Chhattisgarh in central India and reported it in "Inside Abujmarh The Mythic Citadel." Both Sehrawat and Mittal became very ill, but Sehrawat succumbed. Mittal, we understand, is still recovering.

Hamas, the report said, would pledge not to strike any Israeli target and ensure other Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip also stop their attacks.
The world is a much better place with a dead Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh than it was with a live one. I don't think he deserves a lot of tears.
Israel's sticking point is Hamas not turning a blind eye to other militias who attack Israel and Hamas' sticking point is the blockade.
quote:And only one side is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Jews. They've achieved perfection in Gaza, but they need to improve their game in the rest of the Holy Land.
And only one side is engaged in the ethnic cleansing and colonization of palestine for Zionist.
Why should Hamas be expected to honor a ceasefire if that's Israel's attitude? I always thought ceasefires were a two-way street, not one way.
And only one side is engaged in the ethnic cleansing of Jews
Because killing of Mabhouh in Dubai didn't even threaten to hurt innocent civilians in Gaza. It was supposed to be clean, surgical, effective - it wasn't those things and I'm sure there was a shake-up in the Mosaad direct action community. The dude kidnapped and tortured, to death, 2 IDF soldiers. They weren't just going to let him die in his bed of old age.
@newsbreaker: ALERT: 5 minutes until cease-fire and explosions are still being reported in Gaza.

"Four SmackDown stars will be moving to ECW.
Daivari and The Great Khali appeared at last night's SD/ECW tapings. However, this time around, it looks like Daivari will be pushed as a wrestler and The Great Khali will be in his corner. It is unknown if Khali has been cleared to wrestle yet. He had surgery on both of his knees back in August and he is supposed to be out of action for several months.
Another SmackDown pairing will be moving to ECW as well. The duo of Sylvester Terkay and Elijah Burke will be appearing on ECW cards now. Both individuals debuted on SmackDown in July. Terkay remains undefeated. "

The families of Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal, and Sarah Shourd,
the three hikers detained in
New York, November 6,
2009—No charges have been brought against three American hikers nearly 100
days since they were detained after accidentally crossing the border from Iraqi
Kurdistan into
The notion that three American hikers could innocently
wander across the border from Iraqi Kurdistan into
New York, August 5, 2009--The Committee to Protect Journalists called today for the release of three Americans--one of whom is a journalist--who were arrested on July 31 in Iran. The three have been charged with illegally entering the country.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Hi Morten,
Thank you for your response. Let me clarify my situation. The ratings
are interval-like. The data file is in the following format: columns
(raters, n = 94) and rows (variables, n = 49). The raters gave
responses that ranged from 1 to 9 on the variables. I am looking for
something similar to the ICC (model: two-way mixed, alpha; type:
consistency) available in SPSS. I hope this helps.

National Perspective Presented at ACTE Convention
Assistant Secretary Brenda Dann-Messier opened the Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) 2010 Convention in Las Vegas on Dec. 2, welcoming over 5,000 participants by providing both a national perspective on and a new direction for CTE. Dann-Messier also delivered an imperative to the audience of educators, policy makers, and industry representatives to align education and skills to workforce needs, emphasizing that implementation of career pathways is integral to the process. During the conference Dann-Messier and Sharon Miller, director of OVAE's Division of Academic and Technical Education, conducted three CTE Community Conversations on the current and future Perkins legislation to help all students achieve college- and career-readiness and success.
In addition, Elizabeth Livings-Eassa, on loan to OVAE from Indian River State College, led a panel on the recently awarded grant program, Promoting Rigorous Career and Technical Education Programs of Study (RPOS). Panelists shared their applications and expectations for implementing their projects. The states and clusters represented were: Arizona – education; Kansas – science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); Maryland – automotive technology; Montana – construction; Utah – health science; and Wisconsin – manufacturing. The work of the grantees will be disseminated nationally.
Russella Davis-Rogers Joins OVAE
Russella L. Davis-Rogers joined OVAE in November as a confidential assistant to the assistant secretary. Davis-Rogers particularly enjoys working with youths, and has been volunteering in their behalf since the age of 15, when she first served as a Big Sister. She has served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for abused and neglected children in Detroit. Davis-Rogers was a project coordinator for the nonprofit organization buildOn, motivating students to perform community service and raising funds to build schools in underserved countries in Africa and Central America. She is a published author whose first work, And We Fell Out Laughin', is a collection of short stories from her childhood.
In 2008, Davis-Rogers received the Barack Obama Organizing Fellowship in then-Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign in Detroit. She was then hired as a field organizer responsible for a Detroit region with over 45,000 constituents. Davis-Rogers also served on the scholarship selection committee for the Coleman A. Young Foundation, and as a lecturer on racism and sexism. She is a Spirit of Detroit recipient—the highest honor bestowed on citizens of Detroit for exceptional achievement and leadership towards improving the quality of life for the city through community service. Most recently, Davis-Rogers served as Metro-Detroit regional field director for Organizing for America, the grassroots arm of the Democratic National Committee, the liaison to state and national leadership for Michigan's 13th and 14th Congressional Districts.
Duncan, Dann-Messier Kick off GED Pilot, Meet Students in Manhattan
Secretary Arne Duncan shared a clear message with adult students from District 79's adult education program on Dec. 9, at an alternative school in New York City: "It's important to keep going. Don't stop!" Secretary Duncan and Assistant Secretary Dann-Messier, along with New York's Mayor Bloomberg and Chancellor Klein, visited Mid-Manhattan Adult Learning Center to kick off a pilot test of new types of GED test items aligned with emerging national standards. They then met with adult students for whom attaining a GED certificate was a game-changer in their lives.
Two young men told the secretary that the GED became a turning point in their lives after they immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic. "Now, I can see my future—before I wasn't serious—I didn't care," said one. A 49-year-old mother of three told of going on to college after passing the GED. Her sons graduated from college and she wanted them to be proud of her. She is completing her studies to become a teacher. Another student was 21-year-old man, who had spent two years in prison. After passing the GED exam, he enrolled in college to become a social worker and now aspires to start his own nonprofit group to help inmates re-enter society. He told the secretary, "People do not know how to look for help. Males are scared to look for help."
Duncan affirmed the importance of these success stories for others who also need to return to school. "They need to find other people like themselves who have done it. They need to see that they can reach it, too," he said.
OVAE Connection wishes everyone happy holidays for the next two weeks! We will see you on Jan. 6, 2011.

Reviews of this property
Friendly host, good location (quiet). Close to everything you need. And even a 24/7 supermarket at the corner, restaurants also across the street. The appartment is well equipped and you even have your own bathroom! Would definately recommend it!
Nice, clean room not far from the city centre (you can easily walk there). The host was really nice and helpfull and the room looked great when we came there. They even got us some bread, cheese etc. Really nice!
Yes, this is a small one room bachelor apartment. But it is clean and with several kinds of coffee makers and a small fridge it was quite adequate for our stay. The apartment is also close to the bus station and a tram line that takes directly to the downtown area. There are also several good restaurants and pubs nearby. We would recommend a stay here for seeing Prague.
The apartment is small but nice. It's close to the busstation and the centrum of Prague. Right around the corner is a 24/7-shop. The host was very courteous and we recommend the service!
..but the wifi-connections were really slow, therefor only 4/5 stars.
Best regards,
Tom and Lisa
Hely & Max provided everything that I needed as a traveller. In fact I had more than I needed, it was better than some hotels I have stayed in. The space was just right. Very good location, close to the main rail station and Wenceslas Square. Max was warm and charming and made me feel very welcome from the beginning. Of course you should stay there
The flat was very nice, clean and had a very good location. There was everything you need for a trip to Prague.
Hely and her husband are nice people and hosts, who take much care of the well-being of their guests. When we come back to Prague, we will definetly ask them again for lodging!
Thanks for everything!
We really enjoyed our stay in Prague. Max had a warm welcome by Max even if we arrived quite late in the evening. The room was very nice and even if it was a bit small it contained everything that you could possibly need :). I can really recommend renting a room from Hely and Max. Thanks!
This Apartment was an awesome place to stay. In the heart of a very interesting part of town with many opportunities to go out and wonder the streets.
You can walk to the City Centre (about 15-10 mins.).
Can recommend this apartment to anyone who wants a hazzle free accomodation
A room for 2 people very functional, clean and close to the tram station, train and bus. Excellent location: the city center is easily accessible on foot or 2-3 tram stops. Thank you to Hely and her husband for their warm welcome!
Une chambre pour 2 personnes très fonctionnelle, propre et à proximité de la station de tramway, de train, ainsi que du bus. Très bien situé: le centre ville est facilement accessible à pied ou à 2-3 stations de tramway. Merci à Hely et à son mari pour leur accueil chaleureux!
We have spent a few wonderful days in Prague. The apartment is really cute. Although not huge but perfectly adequate for 2 people. Everything is there that you need (especially a good coffee :)).
You walk about 10-20 minutes to the center, depending on your walking speed. Can the property in good conscience recommend it! Have fun in Prague :))
Wir haben ein paar schöne Tage in Prag verbraucht. Das Appartment ist echt schnuckelig. Zwar nicht riesig aber absolut ausreichend für 2 Personen. Es ist alles da was man braucht (vor allem eine gute Kaffeemaschine :) ).
Man läuft ca. 10-20 Minuten ins Zentrum, je nach Gehtempo. Kann die Unterkunft guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen! Viel Spass in Prag :))

The View from Plaza Eduardo Abaroa
by Kari Lydersen
In October of 2003, protests, strikes and violence rocked La Paz and all of Bolivia in an uprising that led to the resignation and departure of president Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada.
On a sunny afternoon in late February, the Plaza Eduardo Abaroa in La Paz reflects an apparent calm. Just beneath the surface, however, the plaza reveals the country's stark divisions between rich and poor, its racial divisions, and the debilitating effects of globalization and corruption. A poodle in a red sweater catapults over low walls playfully chasing a delighted little boy in camouflage pants. A fashionably slender, light-skinned girl in pre-faded bell bottom jeans of the type popular in the United States strolls by holding a tiny puppy. Kids careen around in small motorized cars; a little girl bawls as her father lifts her off the car to give her sister a chance.
In the same plaza, indigenous women with their babies on their backs sell saltenas (chicken-filled pockets of dough) and trinkets. Little boys and young men dressed in dark clothes troll the plaza with wooden shoeshine kits. The ski masks or rags covering their faces give them a menacing look. Some just point at people's feet and are waved away or granted a shoe shine.
Cousins Christian, 8, and Enrique, 10, sit protectively next to each other across the street from the plaza on the steps of a café serving mostly wealthy Bolivians and tourists. Christian and Enrique have worked as shoe shine boys on weekends since their families moved to El Alto four years ago from the country town of Warisata.
When asked why some shoeshine boys cover their faces, the boys give an answer that contradicts the sinister aspect of the masks.
"Because they're ashamed," says Enrique, noting that Christian often covers his face. "They don't want their professors from school to see them."
The boys go to school during the week. Enrique wants to be a lawyer, "to defend our people, because we don't have anyone to defend us." Christian says he wants to be a police officer, but when Enrique tells him that the police are bad he changes his mind and declares he will be a professional soccer player.
The boys' whole families work in the informal economy. Christian's father washes cars and his brother shines shoes. Enrique's mother sells vegetables and his father "is in the cemetery being eaten by ants."
Alvaro Garcia Linera, a sociology professor at the Mayor San Andres University, says that a full 68 percent of Bolivia's population work in the informal economy today, up from 50 percent in 1980. Official unemployment has tripled from four percent in 1980 to 12 percent today. Unofficial church figures put the number closer to 40 percent. He says the average annual wage in 1980 was $950. Today it is $830.
"The process of globalization and integration (into the world market) have really hit the local traditional economies hard," he said. "Especially the labor sectors with little competitive capacity and archaic technology. We were thrown into the open market before we'd developed the competitiveness for it."
When asked what the coming months or years hold, Garcia draws a rainbow-shaped graphic to show the possibilities. "There are three things that could happen," he explains. "We could go back to the old regime, through a violent coup, and it would become an authoritarian regime enforced by violence. Or we could have moderate reforms driven by the people. Or we could have a revolution led by left wing forces like Evo Morales (a leader of coca growers who came close to winning the presidency in 2002) and (indigenous leader) Felipe Quispe."
"Social movements are a powerful part of democracy," Garcia says. "Usually you have a social movement hitting the old regime, then you have a period of transition, then you have the new regime. We're in the period of transition now, and we hope we're heading toward a new regime. But we're fragmented, so we're in crisis."
As in many Latin American countries, one of the effects of economic distress and dislocation caused by privatization and globalization has been migration within and out of the country. Thousands of campesinos and indigenous people are leaving their homelands to try to survive in the cities. El Alto, the working class city on a plateau above La Paz was the cauldron of the October uprisings. El Alto is made up largely of former miners, campesinos and indigenous people displaced from their homes.
"There have been big social consequences from globalization," said Elizabeth Peredo, a social psychologist who works with the La Paz-based anti-globalization group Fundacion Solon. "People are going to the cities looking for work, even though there's almost no work there. People will live by selling lemons, even though they might only sell four lemons a day for 10 bolivianos (about $1.30). Barely enough to eat. But they'll be out there the next day selling lemons."
Finding they can't make a living in the city, thousands of Bolivians leave the country each year, mainly to Argentina and the United States. The large population of Bolivians in Argentina face xenophobia, labor exploitation and discrimination, while those who travel thousands of miles and pay thousands of dollars to enter the United States illegally find the typical challenges of undocumented workers: low-paying and insecure jobs, the constant threat of deportation and separation from family. There are about 500,000 Bolivians in the United States, with the majority living in the Arlington, Virginia, and Washington D.C. area, as well as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
As in other Latin American countries, immigration has changed the nature of rural Bolivian life. "Women are being forced to do what used to be considered men's work, because the men are all gone," said Peredo.
Despite the ravages of globalization and poverty, she sees some hopeful signs. "People don't turn to delinquency here, you don't have to be afraid to walk in the street like in Colombia or Peru," she noted. "Even in this globalized culture where people want comfort and all the material things, we maintain our humanity and moral values. This is a form of resistance against globalization."

I would like to see Fluker or Rhodes.
I think we will draft Bjorn Werner. (which is fine with me)
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I don't want Ogletree
I want best available Oline, but chances are it will be Tank Cardine. Re: Werner I didn't watch him in college, but saw some of his "hightlight" reels on youtube and wasn't overly impressed. Werner didn't seem all that quick and I think he would be easily blocked at the NFL level.
in the 1st round the Giants look for elite athletes first and foremost and I'm not sure Werner fits that bill.
Want-Vaccaro, Ogletree
1. I can't see them taking a WR (unless there's a top 10 guy who falls to them) in the 1st because we have WR's.
2. I can't see them taking a RB (unless there's a top 10 guy who falls to them) in the 1st because we have RB's.
3. I can't put my finger on it, but while I see them taking a DE in the 2nd or 3rd, I don't see one in the 1st unless its someone like Ansah, and he'll be gone by then. JPP was the 1st DE drafted in the high-to-mid 1st round in a long time. Kiwi was the 32nd pick in the 1st, Osi was 2nd RD, Tuck was 3rd Rd and Strahan was 2nd Rd. JPP was a rare talent, and I wouldn't call Carradine or Werner rare talents.
4. The secondary -- you've got mid-to-late 1st RD talent in Vaccaro (S), Elam (S) and Trufant (CB) and they're at skill positions that the Giants actually need. Of the three I think that Vaccaro is the best talent and that the Safety position for the Giants is an even bigger question mark (Rolle being in his final year, I believe, and KP no longer here) than CB.
The above is why I think it's Vaccaro, and while I'm sick of picking secondary players in the 1st RD year in and year out and STILL letting up big plays and tons of points every year, I still think that Vaccaro's a good pick. But I think that Ogletree (yes, a LB) and Richardson are possibilities, although not skill positions, simply because of their value at the 19th pick (if they actually fall that far).
I'd have no problem with Fluker (huge T/G from 'bama), but I can't see them spending a 1st on an o-lineman. But that is definitely quality right there at the 19th pick -- I'd be happy with Fluker, but there will be quality at o-line in the 2nd RD, too.
Heck, my favorite choice would be to trade down a few picks and pick up some additional picks along the way.

The barrel of bees we were supposed to get from the steel barrel did not work out. When our mentor moved the barrel the comb broke lose, and fell into the bottom of the barrel. There was water in the bottom of the barrel. All was lost. very tragic as there was perhaps 35 to 40# of comb and honey, and thousands of bees in there. So he gave us a hive log. This has plywood nailed to both top and bottom. per his instruction, I cut 1-3/4" holes into the top plywood, and the bottom board. I put a layer of newspaper between the log and the bottom board, then put my two deeps from the queen less hive onto that. The idea being that the bees will chew away the newspaper, and join colonies. Hopefully the queen will move up and make use of the many frames of comb, all cleaned and awaiting her eggs. There is wire mesh stapled onto the hole in the log that the bees used as an entrance. The log bees have a lot of comb, so probably have enough food. They'll probably need water though.
the bees on the outside of the screen I thought were bees escaping from the log. Instead they were bees who were from the other hive trying to get in. I guessed they smelled the queens pheromone, my mentor said more likely they wanted to rob out the log. When I moved the log up to the hives (200ft or so) bees from the queen less once again gathered on the screen.

He wants me to work full time
We'll skip chat today. I'm still away, and something tells me that Glenn will be very busy with Boston.com. We'll make up for it next week.
Dear Meredith,
I got my second master's degree in 2012 and have been working part-time at a professional job since I received my first master's degree in 2011. I have spent a lot time looking for jobs in and around my field, but my husband is convinced that I am not doing enough. He says that it is taking way too long and that I should just take a teaching test since there's a need for math teachers.
My undergrad degree was in education, but not only did I hate teaching, I wasn't very good at it. My husband loathes his job and blames me for having to stay in it because I am only working part-time and we need his income. He wants to teach, and could get a similar paying job in Boston as a teacher, but he doesn't want to work there (although he does want me to work there). It is putting stress on our marriage and I don't know what to do. Should I just give in and teach, or should I keep looking for jobs that I might actually be able to tolerate? Another issue is that I could most definitely get a job elsewhere in the country, but he refuses to move. When I bring this up he gets angry and says that it isn't part of the issue, and I should forget it. Please help, I really need some advice. Thanks!
– Double Degree, Massachusetts
I'm frustrated just reading this, DD. Why isn't anyone willing to compromise?
My advice for you is to find a full-time job. Any full-time job. You don't have to teach. You just have to find something that pays a bit more so that you can live more comfortably while you continue to look for the perfect position. Meanwhile, your husband should be spending his own free time applying for teaching jobs in Boston and beyond. Both of you have to work to get out of this rut.
You also need to talk about your personal goals as a couple. How do you want to live? Where do you want to vacation together? How do you want to spend your free hours? Consider these questions as a twosome so that you don't lose track of what you're working for.
I understand that degrees and careers are important. Ideally, you'd both have jobs that make you happy. But for now, the goal should be helping each other as much as you help yourselves. You need to make more, and he needs a happier day job. If you both do your part, it's compromise.
Readers? Should she find a not-so-great full-time job? Should he find a better job and stop putting this on her? How can they work together? What's missing here? Help.
– Meredith

Ray, my prayers go out for you and may he relive your pain brother.
Ray, my prayers go out for you and may he relive your pain brother.
Bee Bliss what a wonderful story of faithful healing, thanks so very much for sharing.
To everyone else, I thank you so very much and pray you all have long lives of health and happiness. I'm once again in tears from reading all of your replies. I don't see much godliness in the world anymore, and it's very comforting to know there are still Faithful Christians in the world, and to think they care enough about me to pray for my healing. I'm overwhelmed and speachless.
I'm always in your corner (knealing of course)
Jerry, aka Hunter1
Best to you Ray. Speedy recovery!!

He hears us. I am sure he heard your prayer, it certainly brought me to tears.
Please dear Lord hear our prayers and bless Ray with your light, healing him and in doing so taking away his pain. Thank you dear Lord for your love and mercy. Amen.
Peace be with you
Once again, thanks so much to you all. I've gotten better to the point that i'm off all the heavier meds and am on extra strength tylenol and ibuprofin. I try not to take even them, but it's a painful struggle without them. With them The pain is reduced enough so that I can function much more pain free. It's amazing, 'cause from past experience, this is going to take a year or more to heal up any better, and this winter coming up is going to be real bad, just like every winter for the last 10 years. I know too much of the science of what's wrong with me to allow my own faith to work maybe? I'm bad I know, I look down on myself and feel I am not worthy of feeling well. However, your prayers are working, miracles as far as I'm concerned, I am getting better quite quickly.
Dear God I have a very selfish prayer, through your grace please forgive me and not forsake me. I'm not worthy or your attention, but I ask anyways as I have no where else to turn. I approach you with head bowed and lay prostate before you, please don't discard me as the weeds in the crop at harvest time. Please give me strength to deal with my injuries, and heal me if you have the time, I know you're awful busy with others of greater faith who need your support even more than I. At least I am alive and have a place of my own to live in where I can lay in misery until the day I can hopefully stand with you as my Father and Brother, along with all other Brothers and Sisters in the future heavens and earth when Jesus is crowned king in that great day of coronation.
I'm glad that you are feeling better. Remember that God loves you, and have faith that Jesus will lead you to heaven one day. Pray to Him and give your life to Him and and say that you trust Him to lead you to Heaven one day.
Good enough is perfect - Joel Salatin
Ah, such relief. I'm so much better this evening. I don't expect to ever get back to being a normal healthy person physically, as there's been too much permanent damage, but oh what a relief it is now. Thanks to you all and to GOD and Jesus for the relief. Thanks again to you all and your churches and families for the prayers for my healing and comfort.
I would like to ask for special prayers for another beekeeper who used to post on Beesource. His name is Jim M. He has quite a bit of pain, too, due to spinal problems/damage. He moved himself and his bees to Missouri to start homesteading. The bees are his way of making a living as he is for the most part unemployable, he says. Every day is a struggle for him.
Prayers said.
I've woken at 4am with violent thrashing and very cold, i must have a temp but can't find the thermometer. It's mid summer here and hot, i'm cold and violently thrashing, back has kinked up in another spot, because of the thrashing here I think. It's very bad, like drug withdrawals or epilepsy or something. Dry heaves, from sinus drainage, I think. Ribs are killing me. I gotta get another tylenol and motrin, which means i need to eat. I can't eat right now so the meds will wait. OH God, please help me and Jim.
Ray, how are you doing? We haven't heard from you since this morning, I pray everything is ok......Bill
all in all today was a great day. every thing got better as the day went on. i went back to sleep around 7:30 for a couple hours. Now it's 10pm and the pains coming back, but not near as strong as before, i'm on the mend for sure i think. It's always worse in mornings and a couple hours after sunset. But today and tonight it's not as bad, no pain pills since lunch.
Great to hear you are doing better and I hope tomorrow is even better, were all pulling for you
Yes I'm doing much better now. I've still got various problems but it's all being checked into and I'm generally feeling much much better now. Thanks to you all for your prayers, God Bless you all.
To See the out pouring of support does not surprise me, we have good folk here on the Forum.
Prayer continue for all my friends, new and old, near or far, and those online.
We are a community here.
May the Sun shine on the path you walk, may God Lead You.
You got it Ray!
Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end
One day at a time, eh... One day at a time.

I had a fever of 102. Fever always makes all the damaged nerves inflame greatly. Fever is gone now and the pain and discomfort is greatly reduced, down to what I call normal for me with my conditions. The fever was caused, I think, from bad teeth with gum infections and absesses. I've had 4 teeth pulled a week ago and am continueing to improve and feel much much better. Thanks to you all again, and may God bless all those who call out to him through Jesus.

Much like the many available rating services that help consumers locate higher quality goods and services, Paths to QUALITY gives parents a quality seal of approval they can look for when choosing care for their children.
All Paths to QUALITY child care providers will receive a yearly visit to determine which of the four quality levels they offer children. Use the checklists on this web site to help you determine what level care you want for your child… or what level you think your current provider is offering.
The standards for Paths to QUALITY are consistent but tailored for family child care homes and for licensed centers and unlicensed registered ministries. Paths to QUALITY is a system where each level builds on the foundation of the previous one, resulting in significant quality improvements at each stage and resulting in national accreditation at the highest level. The four levels address:
The Experts Agree
Before going statewide, Paths to QUALITY standards were rigorously analyzed in a scientific study conducted by the Child Development and Family Studies experts at Purdue University.
The results of the study were clear:
Make sure you choose the best care for your child. It's a choice that lasts forever!

It's all very well to dabble in disembodied bits and streams of digits, but what has all this to do with science in our world of atoms and energy? Wolfram's answer is that the same kinds of simple rules or programs are found at work everywhere in the universe.
One case where the mapping between the two realms is quite direct comes from biology, where certain mollusk shells are decorated with patterns similar to those produced by some cellular automata. And the resemblance is surely not a coincidence: The shell patterns are deposited by a row of pigment-secreting cells (that is, biological cells) that appear to act much like a one-dimensional cellular automaton, with neighboring cells communicating through the exchange of chemical signals. These resemblances have been noted before, but Wolfram argues for an unusually strong version of the idea, claiming that all possible cellular automaton rules in a certain class are observed on mollusk shells.
Elsewhere in biology, Wolfram applies similar methods of analysis to other pigment patterns, to the arrangement of stems and branches in plants, and to the shapes of leaves. In physics he treats the growth of snowflakes and other crystals, the fracturing of solids and the onset of turbulence in fluids. There is even a brief discussion of economics, suggesting that the kind of randomness observed in some cellular automata could account for price fluctuations in stock markets.
In another chapter of A New Kind of Science Wolfram presents his version of the thesis that the universe as a whole is something like a cellular automaton. The model looks below the level of everyday experience and even beyond the events studied in high-energy physics, where the world seems to be made up of electrons and quarks and other "elementary" particles, moving through a continuum of space. In Wolfram's view of the universe there is no continuum, and particles are a mere epiphenomenon; indeed, motion and geometry are also little more than illusions. In this cosmology, space and time are both assumed to be discrete, just as they are in a cellular automaton, and the only things that move are signals passing from cell to cell.
The most obvious way of implementing this idea would be to partition space into tiny cubical volumes, creating a cellular automaton on a three-dimensional grid. Wolfram looks with disfavor on this simplest solution because it imposes a particular geometry on space and also requires some kind of master clock to synchronize the updating of all the cells throughout the grid. His alternative is a model where the cells are nodes of a free-form network that has a well-defined topology but no specific geometry. In other words, the connections between nodes are all determined beforehand, but the spatial coordinates of the nodes are left unspecified. Concepts such as shape and position have no meaning at this level: The geometry of space emerges from the model rather than being built into it. Specifically, our world is perceived as being three-dimensional because each node of the network has three incoming links from other nodes and three outgoing links, creating the same connectivity as a three-dimensional lattice. Another feature of the model is that updating the cells requires no synchronizing master clock; updating events propagate along the links of the network itself. Making each link a one-way conduit defines a direction for time and causality; the whole structure is called a causal net.
This theory of everything is one of the book's wilder flights of fancy; there is no immediate prospect of testing it by experiment. But the same is true of all other attempts to explain the structure of the universe at this level of detail. In any case, Wolfram is not coy in his manner of proposing the model. When I asked him how seriously he intends it to be taken, he said he would be quite surprised if something very much like it doesn't turn out to be right.

Top 10 lead singers who ditched their bands
Steven Tyler says he's staying with Aerosmith—maybe cause it didn't turned out that well for other frontmen
Steven Tyler says he's staying with Aerosmith—maybe cause it didn't turned out that well for other frontmen
Sting…outshone the band? Stick to politics and university rankings MacLames.
As I understood it from the short piece I read, Tyler has struggled with his addiction lately, to the extent that the band was unable to get insurance for touring. I don't think it's as simple as Tyler striking out for greener pastures.
A few other suggestions for the top ten: Lennon and McCartney, Lionel Richie, Robbie Williams, Tina Turner, Van Morrison, Lou Reed.
Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Janis Joplin, Ricky Martin, Justin Timberlake, Paul Hyde (smirk)…
Rock and Hyde. Best combination of surnames. Ever.
Also, Paul Simon is worthy of note on this list too. Garfunkel never wanted out.
Love Van Morrison!!!
I'd say the quintessential case of a singer quitting a band and going on to greater things would have to be Neil Young abandoning Buffalo Springfield in 1967.
Stick to politics and universities, John GetMeOuttaHere.
I thought Buffalo Springfield disintegrated in many directions.
SeanStok: You're probably right. However, Rolling Stone's Neil bio says of Buffalo Springfield's end: "But friction developed: Young quit the band, only to rejoin and quit again, and in May 1968, after recording three albums, the band split-up." Inkless: As Neil sings: "Yes I am/Speakin' out."
"Young quit the band, only to rejoin and quit again"
That's our Shakey. Never much of a joiner.
Young…Neil Young…nope, never heard of him.
also robert plant..led zeppelin
I thought that was a mutual group decision, after Bonham died.
annie lennox….hello….

Periodic data backups can head off problems
By Alex Morones
Technical Writer and Editor, Office of Information Technology
(Nov. 5, 2005)--The UTSA Office of Information Technology staff says it's important to back up your data.
Although OIT does a nightly backup of data stored on the I:\ drive, backing up the data on your personal computer's hard drive is your responsibility.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

You should back up all important data on your computer to removable media such as 3-1/2 inch floppy disks, zip disks or CDs.
How do you decide if it's important? Important data is anything that you would miss if it suddenly disappeared due to hard drive failure.
In the event of a hard drive failure on your computer, OIT often is not able to recover all of the data that resides on the drive.
There are private companies that specialize in data recovery, but the cost is steep and there is no guarantee that the recovery attempt will be successful.
Play it safe. Save your work often, and back up your data on a regular basis.
If you need help with instructions on how to back up data, contact the OIT Help Desk at (210) 458-5538.
