The ironically titled film refers to the dreadful Alice-in-Wonderland years when Nicolae Ceausescu was the Communist strongman of Romania. For this panorama of black-humor stories, Romania's finest filmmaker, Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) gathered five directors, he among them, to dramatize his short screenplays. Who helmed what is intentionally fuzzy, but the mini-dramas make a coherent absurdist whole poking fun at a murderously nutty era. The very best shorts are Billy Wilder-funny, and also the most directly political, e.g., a tale of a sleepy, apolitical Romanian village going bananas with red flags, pageantry, and obsequious folk music because Communist leaders will be driving through. But all the stories have their merits, celebrating a people amusingly out of step with their stalwart, demented leaders.

Highlights of Findings--June 2000
D. Recommendations for Department Staff
The comments made during the site visits and staff interviews suggest that some grantees are in need of more and better technical assistance about grant administration, particularly in the early years of a grant. A number of the case study respondents made comments on the dearth of accessible information on the development and implementation of various activities. Many grantees would benefit from greater access to assistance from the Department in designing and implementing program activities. The Title III grantees would also benefit from increased efforts by the Department to encourage grantee networking and to disseminate information concerning successful programs, beyond the periodic workshops currently held. Most of the Title III coordinators interviewed during the site visits said the Department initiated few interactions, and felt that this area offered room for improvement. Possible suggestions for the Department include the following items.
- Internet home page publication by the Department of descriptions of projects that have been identified as good practice.
- The establishment of regular Internet activity (grantee chat rooms or bulletin boards) around important areas of Title III activity, and perhaps led by an experienced grantee and/or technical experts on the topic from elsewhere in the Department.
- The adoption of measures to encourage the identification, sharing, and documentation of potentially exemplary practices in an active database.
- Departmental awards for programs with particularly successful efforts, as a way to highlight those schools that are innovating and excelling.
- A greater commitment to improving staff training, so that the Federal program staff will have in-house technical expertise in the fields where most Title III activities are concentrated (e.g., student support programs and information technology initiatives).
- Having the program officers call each grantee on a routine basis, for example every three months, and send out periodic newsletters.

As far as Herzlich is concerned, I still think that he hasn't hit his ceiling yet......he's coming back from a life-threatening injury.....just the fact that he has a job in the NFL is amazing. He's one dude I'm willing to wait on....he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
I mean, u seriously can't see the diffrence between having OSI, TUCK, and TOLLEFSON, compared to having Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown???lol
Not to mention, for the 1000th time, David Wilson was in fact the first guy off the bench in good old GAME 1, but fumbled and dropped a pass and feel in dog house, while Andre Brown came in and got it done... Its not like Coughlin didn't give him first crack.. Dudes a rookie, u can't go fumbling and dropping passes and expect to continue to get the same shot the following week, unless u all ready showed u can get it done, which to that point, in the regular sesaon, he had not.. OSI and TUCk and TOLLFESON, and ur asking me why i didn't call out JPP..lol
memo to people who like to call people out for there opinions.. Uhh, wait for the player to have more then 1stellar week toward the end of the season as a 1st rd draft pick..lol THis was my only problem with the thread, is the fact guys want to jump down peoples throats after one wk, like the guys who didn't love the pick thought David Wilson was never gonna have a big wk or something.. One wk means nothing, as its consistency that matters.. david wilson actually gave up carries and playing time to freaking Kregg Lumpkin for godsake! Thats our 1st rd draft pick? He can't block worth a snot!
Again, David Wilson in the 1st rd was bad value, and a guy who can't block and is gonna need to shoulder the load with another rb should never be picked in RD 1, which was my only beef with the pick, the value of it...
No one thought he'd never have a big wk, as i'm sure he'll have other big wk's in his career, but a big wk here and there means zilch from ur 1st rd draft pick.. I mean, 1st rd picks are held to diffrent standards, and hes been non factor just about this whole season...
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1
The sad thing is that aside from a couple rookie mistakes (really the only thing that comes to mind is when he didn't turn around to catch a pass in the flat) I didn't think Wilson had done enough to be removed. He was still better than 3 straight draws to Lumpkin...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
be part of dismal running game (due to playcalling and aformentioned O-line), and only fumble once in a while.
(oh, thats right, you only get to fumble on your first game with the G-men if your a scrub pulled out of your living
room that has done nothing otherwise).

I don't believe the blue (or pink) insulation foam is porous. In any case, I use Murphy's Soap as a mold release, just wipe the surface of the blue mold and you should be okay
The blue insulation foam has a protective plastic film that would keep it from being porous, but even if it was removed, the foam has a tight smooth surface. I use it with concrete and have to rough up the surface a bit to get the concrete to adhere to it.
I'm actually using the foam as the model and casting a plaster mold from it. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I carved half a vase from the blue foam and sanded it a little to smooth off the uneven parts, so the foam no longer has the plastic film or that nice, smooth surface that the original outside surfaces have when you get it.


text: This exhibition features highlights from the Farnsworth's collection of American art made after World War II. While abstract expressionism catapulted American art to the forefront of the world avant-garde, realism maintained a strong hold on American artists and enjoyed a revival in the 1960s which has persisted to this day, coexisting with equally persistent strains of abstraction. The exhibition will explore this phenomenon, and will include works by Will Barnet, Jennifer Bartlett, Janet Fish, Robert Indiana, Alex Katz, Sylvia Mangold, Kenneth Noland, Leon Polk Smith, Neil Welliver, and others.

Weird stuff is happening in Simen Johan's photos in the exhibit "Until the Kingdom Comes" at Brown University's Bell Gallery (64 College St, Providence, through Feb. 17). It's a world of mysterious signs and portents.
A pair of foxes with bloody snouts sit up, huddled together, squinting against the cold snow. Green parakeets perch in and around the racks of bloody moose dueling under a stormy sky. Muddy, snarling wild dogs roam the puddles and seaweed of a marsh at low tide. Snakes fill dead trees in a rocky canyon. Two snowy owls sit smiling atop a picnic table at some misty forest preserve. A sad-eyed white deer steps through the trees of a snowy hillside. White fur against the snow, it nearly disappears, totally camouflaged.
Johan's critters often seem exhausted or angry or perhaps disoriented from wandering into the wrong place at the wrong time. Some take on human characteristics, like a lemur that sits upright, lounging in a tree lazily sniffing at a white flower. Johan's images feel like scenes out of fairy tales or apocalyptic Hollywood action epics. And they're that kind of fun — dark and moody, sort of gimmicky, entertaining illusions.
The New York-based photographer, who was born in Norway and raised in Sweden, achieves his realistic look with a mix of reality and digital trickery. The lamb was a live animal, held in position by a farmer, who Johan Photoshopped out of the picture, Bell Gallery director Jo-Ann Conklin explains. The foxes were road kill. The fighting moose were taxidermied animals he found in a museum. A photo of an elk fallen over next to a tree and dripping icicles depicts an animal he found in a taxidermy shop and sprayed with water. Often he digitally inserts the animals into landscapes he has photographed elsewhere.
The results of these special effects at times crackle with mythic resonance. A lamb sits like a person in a misty green field and seems to stare at us. As a symbol it's perhaps too on the nose, conjuring associations with "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and lions lying down with lambs and Jesus as the sacrificial "Lamb of God."
In another image, a massive dark bison with a muddy beard lies in the dirt of some sort of dump; its eye watches us from the shadows. It looks like it could be drooling, collapsed. This tired bison — an animal long a symbol of the American Great Plains as well as a creature revered by Native Americans — hovers between interpretations. It's both a massive defeated beast and (perhaps) a symbol of a weary nation.

Notice: On March 31, it was announced that Statalist is moving from an email list to a forum. The old list will shut down on April 23, and its replacement, statalist.org is already up and running.
[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]
[no subject]
I have 4 raters that gave a score of 0-100 on 11 smartphone
The data is skewed right, as they all got low scores. I'm using the
ranks (within an individual) instead of the actual scores. I want to
know the correlation in ranking between the different raters.
I've tried the two commands:
-xtmixed rank Application || Rater: , reml
-estat icc
-icc rank Rater Application, mixed consistency
They give me two different answers. Which one is correct?
Next, we found out that rater 4 was off the charts, and we want to
eliminate her and rerun the analysis. When we do this we get wacky
ICCs. In the first method we get an ICC of 2e-26. In the 2nd method
(-icc), we get -.06. Eliminating any of the other raters gives us
ICCs close to the original ICC. Why are we getting such a crazy
number when we eliminate this 4th rater?
I'm guessing this might be instability in the model, but I'm not sure
how to get around it.

Las Cruces Police arrest couple who allegedly left 8-year-old in wooden cage
LAS CRUCES, N.M. - Jan. 29, 2013 Update: Court documents: Family kept girl in wooden cage for her safety
Jan. 28, 2013 Story: Police have arrested a Las Cruces mother and her live-in boyfriend for allegedly leaving the woman's 8-year-old adoptive daughter home alone and locked in a wooden cage.
Cindy Patriarchias, 33, and Edmond Gonzales, 37, of the 100 block of Mohawk, were arrested Friday evening. Patriarchias is charged with one count of negligently causing child abuse while Gonzales is charged with one count of negligently permitting child abuse.
Las Cruces Police were called to the couple's mobile home shortly before 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 25, to check on the welfare of the young girl after Patriarchias' estranged husband called police.
He told police he believed the 8-year-old was left home alone while Patriarchias and Gonzales took the woman's three other children to watch a movie at Columbia Elementary School, according to police.
Police told ABC-7 Patriarchias and her estranged husband were in the process of adopting the 8-year-old before they split up. After the split, the young girl stayed in the custody of Patriarchias.
The first officers on the scene found the mobile home to be dark and it appeared to be unoccupied. About an hour later Patriarchias returned home and allowed officers inside where an officer discovered a large wooden cage in the corner of a bedroom with Patriarchias' 8-year-old daughter in it.
"The arriving officer who peeked in there thought he would see a pet, a dog possibly but as it turned out to be this young eight year old," said LCPD spokesman Dan Trujillo.
The officer removed the girl from the cage and carried her outside the home where she was attended to by medical personnel. Police said the girl did not appear to have any physical injuries as a result of the containment but detectives learned that she suffers from microcephaly and has the mental capacity of a 2-year-old.
The homemade wooden cage measured roughly 29 inches wide, 60 inches long and 49.5 inches tall. The cage had two latches on the door and a baby crib's mattress inside, on the floor.
"It did have vents. It was made out of wood. It was obviously homemade. It had vents along the top. She had already outgrown this, if you will. She was already too tall for it," Trujillo said.
According to police officials, detectives said that the Patriarchias insisted on leaving her daughter home alone, confined in the wooden cage, while her other three children and boyfriend attended a school-sponsored movie.
Neighbors at the Zia Shadow Mobile Home Park where this happened told ABC-7 this makes them sick to their stomachs.
"For something like this to happen is a shock. There's a special place in hell for people like this," said John Mullins, the property manager.
"There's nothing to say. That's just wrong. You can't do that to any kid, no matter if there's something wrong with them or not. They're human beings," Susan Stoehner, a neighbor, told ABC-7.
Patriarchias and Gonzales were booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center with cash-only bonds set at $25,000 each. Detectives are continuing their investigation.

Prospect: Racean Thomas, a.k.a. "Roc"
Vitals: 5-foot-11, 194 lbs
Position: Running Back
Class: 2014
School: Oxford (Ala.) High
Recruiting: Offers from many, but Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Florida and LSU are ahead of the pack for his services.
Quick Take: Thomas can do it all with the ball in his hands. He can beat defenders with speed, quickness, a move in the open field and with power. He features jump-cuts and spin moves both in space and in small running lanes that show off his top-notch vision, and he finished each run with the grit and will of a 4th-and-1 conversion. The junior is a willing blocker in pass protection and has decent hands out of the backfield as well, making him one of the most complete backs in America. Thomas is currently ranked the No. 5 back in the class of 2014 on FOX Sports NEXT/Scout.com.

After Treatment:
There may be some bleeding immediately after rolling but this is superficial and should simply wash away.
Your skin will be red after treatment; this is normal and will fade after a few hours.
Wait at least six hours before applying make-up and/or perfumed products to the treated area.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure for at least 24 hours after treatment.
Roller Care:
1. Rinse the derma roller under hot running water after use.
2. If there is any blood on the derma roller, soak it in warm water with a little washing up liquid added until clean. Be sure to rinse well with water.
3. Sterilize your derma roller by standing it in disinfecting alcohol for at least 20 minutes.
4. After cleaning/sterilizing, place the derma roller on a clean towel until it is dry. Once dry, replace the needle cap and store the roller in a clean place.
Whenever possible, try not to let the derma roller's needles come into contact with any hard surface (doing so will make them blunt more quickly).
5. You will know when your derma roller needs replacing; when the needles become blunt you will find it becomes more difficult to push them into your skin.
Rolling Frequency:
0.5mm: 2-3 times a week
1.0mm: Once a week
1.5mm: Once every two weeks if used lightly, once every 3-4 weeks if used more vigorously.

Was letter to Haiti website just part of Martelly's theatrics?
As a former entertainer better known as "Sweet Micky," it is perhaps unsurprising that Haitian President Michel Martelly has been theatrical at times in his dealings with the press. At one media event in October, the President answered a critical question posed by a journalist by telling him, "I curse your mother," according to press reports. On another occasion in late December, Martelly was so elated by a supporter's sign that instructed the press to "give the president a chance," that he told the citizen, "You deserve US$100,000." The man received a free motorcycle instead, Radio Kiskeya reported.

The 7 "Germiest" Public Places
I don't think germiest is really a word, but you get the point. It's a place where germs are most likely to hang out for a long time. Since everyone is trying to avoid getting the flu or a cold, it's good to know the most popular public places you're likely find bacteria and viruses.
ABC News recently looked into this topic and after testing different locations made a list of 7 public places where cold and flu causing germs, along with E. coli bacteria are quite prevalent.
1.Restaurant Menus.
I hadn't thought about it before, but these things are seldom (if ever) cleaned after being passed around from person to person. Since cold and flu viruses can live on hard surfaces for up to 18 hours, you can imagine what your family might be holding in their hands while contemplating a meal. It's a good idea to wash your hands (or use a hand sanitizer) after you're finished with the menu. Also, never place the menu on your plate or under your silverware.
2. Lemon Wedges.
Keeping with the restaurant theme, lemon wedges appear to be another place where very nasty germs like to gather. In a study published in the Journal of Environmental Health, nearly 70% of the lemon wedges perched on the rims of restaurant glasses contain disease-causing microbes. Researchers analyzed drinks from 21 different restaurants and found 25 different microorganisms lingering on the lemons they secured. Some of the most common microorganisms were E. coli and other fecal bacteria. I can see how that would happen since I never see a server wash his or her hands before reaching into a shared bowl of pre-sliced fruit and putting one in my water or tea.
3. Condiment Dispensers.
While we're still sitting at the restaurant table, take a look at the condiment dispensers. These are shared by people day after day and refilled by hands that may not have been washed for hours. Seldom do restaurants (although I'm sure there are some) regularly bleach the condiment containers. Since few people actually wash their hands before they eat at a restaurant, you're holding a container covered with previous patrons germs and pouring them on your food. Remember that bottle of hand sanitizer? You might want to put some on your hands and wipe down the condiment dispenser before you actually use it. If you're thinking about picking it up with a napkin instead, know that napkins are porous and germs can pass right through. I didn't know that.
4. Restroom Door Handles.
OK, you've decided to visit the bathroom and wash your hands or whatever else you may decide to do there. You've washed your hands and are ready to exit. You grab the restroom door handle and pull it open out you go unfortunately your hands are carrying everyone else's bacteria and germs that didn't wash their hands before they left. We know what most people do while they are in the bathroom. So, next time grab a paper towel (usually less porous than a napkin) and open the door with that. Some people may think you're germ-a-phobic, but who cares? Your family is feeling fine and they're sniffling and coughing and waiting in the doctor's office to be treated.
5. Soap Dispensers.
Going back a step, just when you thought you were doing the right thing by washing your hands there's another place where germs populate in soap scum. About 25 percent of public restroom dispensers are contaminated with fecal bacteria. Soap that harbors bacteria may seem ironic, but that's exactly what a recent study found. "Most of these containers are never cleaned, so bacteria grow as the soap scum builds up," says Charles Gerba, PhD. "And the bottoms are touched by dirty hands, so there's a continuous culture feeding millions of bacteria." Be sure to scrub your hands or have your child scrub their hands thoroughly with plenty of hot water for 15 to 20 seconds--and if you happen to have an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, use that, too.
6. Grocery Carts.
This is the one that I personally think would be number 1 in germ content. I always rub the handle and bar on a grocery cart down with sanitizer before I shop. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people coughing into their hands and then grabbing the cart handles. Or how many kids, with runny noses, sitting in a cart with their mouth on the handle. And you wonder where you got sick? The handles of almost two-thirds of the shopping carts tested in a 2007 study at the University of Arizona were contaminated with fecal bacteria. In fact, the bacterial counts of the carts exceeded those of the average public restroom. Many stores have started placing sanitizer cloth dispensers near the carts. Use one. If you don't see any, the tried and true method of wiping it down with your hands covered in sanitizer is a good alternative. A bit messy, but it dries quickly.
7. Airline Bathrooms.
A lot of people don't travel all that often and when they do it's usually by car. But occasionally you'l have to hop a plane. When Gerba tested for microbes in the bathrooms of commercial jets, he found surfaces from faucets to doorknobs to be contaminated with E. coli. It's not surprising, then, that you're 100 times more likely to catch a cold when you're airborne, according to a recent study in the Journal of Environmental Health Research. To protect yourself, try taking green tea supplements. In a 2007 study from the University of Florida, people who took a 450-milligram green tea supplement twice a day for 3 months had one-third fewer days of cold symptoms. The supplement brand used in the study was Immune Guard.
If per chance you should have to see a doctor for something the flu, a cold, a broken finger, a rash etc. you're likely to come in contact with a lot of things touched and held by sick folks while in the waiting or exam room. Bring your own books, magazines, tissues and hand sanitizer with you. If you're bringing a child pack their own toys, crayons and coloring books. If possible leave a couple of chairs between you and other patients.
Does all this sanitizing seem excessive? Maybe a little. But we're in the throws of a really dangerous flu outbreak. Children and adults are dying from this one so extra prevention is called for. It's not too late to get a flu shot if you haven't already.
Listing these germiest places does give one pause, but it also provides new insight into what we share with others and never even think about. I'll keep a bottle of sanitizer with me for now and use it.

Pregnancy Tests: Midstream, Cassette, Strip Pregnancy Tests
Were you successful this month? Will you have a new baby in nine month's time? At TestCountry we are proud to offer the highest accurate and reliable pregnancy test kits in the market.
Our Home Pregnancy Tests are clinically proven to be as safe, effective and greater than 99% accurate as similar pregnancy tests administered by doctors, hospitals and health clinics at the convenience of your home. TestCountry.com's pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG at the 20mIUs level. In the pregnancy testing market, 20mIUs level is the lowest which means the most sensitive. You can find out whether or not you are pregnant in just 6-7 days after conception.
We carry three formats of early-detection pregnancy tests:
Mid-Stream Pregnancy Tests: Our midstream pregnancy tests are the easiest to use- the midstream can be used right in the urine stream and there is no need to measure a sample
Cassette Pregnancy Tests: Our pregnancy cassette tests are easy-to-use, and extremely sensitive for earliest detection of pregnancy - This format is primarily used by medical professionals who wish to write on the test. There is a patient ID platform on each cassette for writing. There is also a plastic window on the cassette that protects against moisture and other contaminants
Dipstrip Pregnancy Tests: Our pregnancy test strips are easy-to-use, and extremely sensitive for earliest detection of pregnancy. These are the most affordable ones in the market.
|TestCountry test kits are:
A pregnancy test kit is a very simple strip that lets you know your pregnancy status by testing your urine. It works by detecting the presence of hCG i.e. human chorionic gonadotrophin, a glycoprotein hormone which is secreted by the developing placenta shortly after implantation in uterus wall. hCG can be detected in the urine and serum of pregnant women as early as 6 to 15 days after conception. Various hCG rapid test kits are available which use both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for qualitative detection of elevated levels of hCG in urine samples. These kits are often sensitive to certain fixed levels and are pretty specific as the immunological specificity of the antibodies used virtually eliminates cross reactivity with structurally related hormones.
Common Tests During Pregnancy
Various tests may be needed to detect chromosomal and genetic disorders as well as to ensure healthy growth of the fetus inside the mother's womb. Especially when the mother has a background medical history, doctors strongly recommend prenatal test and monitoring. On the onset of pregnancy, laboratories subject mothers into alpha-fetoprotein to test the level of protein in the blood. Another option is amniocentesis which involves testing the sample of fluid surrounding the fetus known amniotic. Both detect chromosomal disorders in the fetus ahead of time such as neural tube defects and spina bifida. In the later weeks of pregnancy, laboratories test for glucose tolerance and monitor fetal condition. Glucose tolerance test determines the fetus risk's to gestational diabetes. Fetal monitoring uses Doppler device to monitor the fetus heart beat. Normal heart rate should result to 116 to 160 bpm.

Arai alone has the experience, the quality, and the trust that truly sets them apart
Arai's name and reputation has been forged over time, the hard way. Which means they haven't devoted three generations of the Arai family to the singular goal of no-holds-barred excellence just to turn out helmets like everybody else's.
"Innovation in pursuit of a better riding experience" might sound like the mantra of every helmet maker. The reality is, it's not.
Because if making you feel safer and more comfortable in a better-fitting helmet for hours and hours at a time, day after day, was the goal of every company, why is Arai alone responsible for such comfort and fit advances as different interior shapes to fit different head shapes, removable/replaceable Cheekpads and Comfort liners to give you a more custom fit, and our latest, the Emergency Cheekpad Release System to aid injured riders?
In Arai's world, innovations don't come from a marketing department, they come from a decades-long history of caring about one thing: riders.
A lot of helmet companies can make motorcycle helmets. But Arai alone can also claim the unparalleled world-class quality, reputation, and technology to be chosen by all four current American MotoGP racers. Which tells you just how really special and different these helmets are. Bottom line: Arai alone can dominate areas of motorsports others can't conceive of even competing in.
Few of us can afford to own the very best of most things. But with an Arai helmet, you truly can own the very best of something.

Former Paly baseball coach arrested for child molestation

This is a sad event but it is not the first time that this type of thing has happened in Palo Alto. There was an incident at Jordan Middle School with a very popular teacher "Mr. G". Fortunately he got caught and went to prison. And Mr. G lived in Palo Alto. So it doesn't matter if they are a resident here or are a commuter to the various schools - this happens. And of course this has been on the news, in other papers. I think we have beaten the dead horse enough.

Child rape is a horse that can never beaten enough. Palo Alto and it's poisonous parental culture not only does little to prevent molestation (not to mention suicide-which apparently is never the single track "achievement" conscience parents fault), but it ignores it even when it is obviously occurring. Said Mr. G (it's pretty gross that many still use a fond nickname for a child rapist) may have been caught and convicted, but really, the "man" went to prison for five years and now lives elsewhere. Even more the man raped children for decades under the watchful gaze of this school district. This horse, as I said, can never be beaten enough. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

Chris -
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] I was very aware of the situation with Mr. Giordano. In fact he lives in the Bay Area and I saw him at the market and felt sick to my stomach. I was upset with the school officials that platently lied about his involvement and turned their backs on the situation. These are sick individuals, but blame the courts - the laws are not strict enough with them. Another instance would be the priests in the Catholic church which is another can of worms.

[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Lets get one thing clear: blaming the courts is at best unhelpful and at worst very harmful. A trinity of parents, teachers and this community's culture is wholly at fault. The courts can only prosecute these people, the teachers and parents who turn a blind eye- whether conscious or subconsciously are as far as I am concerned no better than the rapist.

Being gay does not make a person a child molester. The majority of pedophiles are heterosexual, and some are bisexual. The disease is not homosexuality, but pedophilia!
Personally, short of castration, I do not think there is a cure for pedophilia ( keep in mind there are a few female pedophiles, also). I do not believe that it is EVER safe for the public to release a pedophile from prison, and for lack of a cure, that means life imprisonment, castration, or death for the pedophile. But with our corrupt government, those solutions are probably not viable.

@Sandy - you are not the first to mention that school officials in Jordan turned their back on the situation - knew and did nothing. As far as I recall - also the victim said that years after.
Sadly, that falls perfectly in place with the latest OCR findings, with any bullying situation, with Penn State etc. By-standing.
I'm reminded of the parent who said in the open forum after the OCR findings were published - There is no need to have legal education to identify bullying. A heart should be suffice (I do not recall the exact words). Same applies to the action called for- no real need for procedures etc. Avoiding by-standing should do the work. For the most part. What caused the school officials to turn their back?

Pedophilia by coaches is more common in school sports than most people realize. For those who are badly misinformed:most pedophiles are not gay and they are often married.
It seems like the same type of school officials and parents who turn their back on bullied students and claim that bullying isn't a problem and no established federal guidelines need be followed, are the ones who also bury their heads in the sand vis-a-vis the sexual misconduct of some school sport coaches.

Let's not forget that Jeff van Gastel, once prominent in the local club soccer world and Paly girls soccer coach for six years (and a frequent substitute teacher for PAUSD), was arrested in 2005 after hosting a wild party for some of his players that involved serving alcohol to four 18-year old girls, and having sex with three of them.

I wouldn't be surprised if victims from PAUSD surface, but I also know that this is a very hard thing to do. It requires a lot of courage and be able to put up with a lot of beaten by those who do want to deny it happened.

What pedophiles do to children is unforgivable. They should not be forgiven. They kill souls, a form of murder. The sentences they receive now is a joke. Let them get life in prison. No parole.

So, apparently, Palo Alto can't handle the truth: They're very good at hiring child molesters. This was the case when I was in school there & it's still the case. Don't hate on me - hate on the predators & the morons who hire them. This problem hasn't cropped up in surrounding cities, either because it's not happening or because they haven't been caught. Which is it?
Village Fool - "@hmmm - and turning the back to situations/by-standing/ignoring." Exactly. It's not that people can't be fooled - that's often the case. But we can't INVITE being fooled by our own unawareness.

@Hmmm - Hello!! Nice to meet you, again. Did you "dare" to mention the imperfection of Palo alto? How could you? especially when you are listed to be residing in EPA. I think I know what was removed.
This thread is a result of news, extremely disturbing news. I'm sure that first "thing" anyone who read this, anyone who knew a child who played this sport did - calculate - could the child, loved one, have been hurt?
All this is not disconnected from the Jordan molestation mentioned above, and others. Sometimes - bad teachers/staff/situations present themselves. That happens. The question is - What then?

Pure Sweet in WI offering $1.40 for ELA and $1.44 for White.
Pure Sweet in WI offering $1.40 for ELA and $1.44 for White.
Melo is offering $1.35 , wich seems alittle low to me .
Packers will get very little honey at the above prices.2009 honey crop estimates are along ways from being made public but I bet the crop is below average in both Canada and the USA. A Canadian honey broker estimated the Canadian crop at 30 -40 million lbs last month ,down from a normal 60 -70 million lb crop
It will take a packer like Sue to start buying on the open market and the price will rise dramatically. The 5 or 6 major US packers are tied pretty close together and able to keep prices where they want them,where as in Canada, honey has been selling this spring at 1.75-1.80, well above the current offerings of US packers even when you take in account of the Canadian peso
There is a WORLD shortage of honey, there is a greater shortage of white honey and it will be reflected in the price in the coming months
One only has to go to the national honey board site to to see that this rise in the honey price has begun http://www.honey.com/honeyindustry/s...mpCIF02-06.htm, the packers cannot suppress this info but they are doing one fine job of delaying it..... average price of imported honey is 4 months behind
One of the largest producers in Sask. is reporting his crop is down about 60 per cent He says he has never had a year this bad. He is in the Sask honey belt. We are further South and our first pull was a way down. The second has been a little better but things are slowing down fast. We are not in a rush to sell as we think when the totals come in production is going to be a way down.
Hi there, new beek here, nowhere near producing any honey at all just wondering when you are talking prices like $1.40-1.75 is that the price per pound?
Yes that is the price per pound. We are talking generally semi loads of 55 gal drums, about 65 of them, picked up at the producers dock.
PS welcome to the forum.

Thank you
Argentina is experiencing very dry conditions, delaying many farmers from planting til moisture rolles through
I've produced and sold 47,000 pounds in the past 3 week. Sale price $1.65-1.75 for bulk barrel and bucket honey. I'm getting offers on my comb honey for $3.20 lb for comb honey in the super.
I've been in the business a long time and have never moved honey to the small packers before like this. Most of my smaller packer are reporting there sales up a 1/3 in the pass two years. It's always nice to see the little guys making it.
I called two big packers two weeks ago to check on prices and the quotes was 1.39, and the other 1.45 for white honey. Because of the big packers sandbagging, they already losted out on one of my semi loads. The way it looks my crop is going to be 10-12 ton short this year.
At these prices the shortage is OK. There always next year.

Anyone know the prices that the Manitoba honey coop is giving? Tier A and B.
They are pretty tight lipped on new crop honey,
The gov't advance crop payment program is ,I believe set at 1.00/lb for the 2009 crop year.This is open to all producers and Beemaid partakes in this offering also, ...so the initial payment will be at least1.00/lb and most likely more...........but then again my forecasts have been known to be wrong
Beemaid 1 kilo creamed honey on the store shelf is over $12
Costco has Beemaid honey in 2Kg containers for $12.69
Initial payment of 70 cents, as is the advance as far as I understood,
I would like to expect to see 1.5 - 1.75 $ final payment, but then that all depends on how long the stronge market holds. Who knows, perhaps 2$ isnt too far off our expectations,
looking at Argentina, again entering a very dry season. Certianly not expecting to see the production comming out of there like 4 years ago
I stand corrected, thankyou Ian, crop advance payment for 2009 honey is.70/lb
Don't know what made me think it was 1.00........... wishfull thinking , maybe, but then again what can you buy for a dollar or for that matter what can you get for 70 cents.
That is approximately half of what the current market prices are at
Looking at BeeMaids $12.69 FOR 1 kilogram ( 2.2 lBS) that works out to $5.768 /LB ...pricey eh! Top quality Canadian honey should command a top price on the store shelf or in the drum Beemaid is a little cheaper over at Wallmart where they are going toe to toe with Billy Bee and the Wallmart brand, which is packed in Toronto on Argentine street
Souix members have been told to expect $1.30 for 09 after receiving closer to $1.40 for 08. Go figure.....
It does appear that some areas in Mn and Wiso will pull this stinker of a season out of the crapper in the 9th inning
I've never to the life of figured out why anyone would bee a member of sue? You get paid about 10 or 20 percent on delivery then more later and a little more a few months later then finally the balance about a year later(I use to know the setup but its been a while and I dont remember and it may have changed) THIS IS AFTER THEY RETAIN 10% OF YOUR GROSS for 8 or 10 years for their operating capitol!! Figure if you produce 100,000 lbs of honey and the price is 1.30....they will have 130,000 dollars of YOUR money from now own. How much could you make with that capitol or save in interest payments and as is in the above post you usually get paid less. ALso you are losing the interest on all the payments you dont get immediately! Sure you just call them and they bring you drums and pick up your honey....but as hard as bee work is it is easy to make some phone calls....in fact I would broker honey for 1/2 of what you loose being a member of sue....not to mention they have been caught importing chinese honey and some was found with chlomamphenicol (sP) google seattle times article on honey laundering for details! I dont think anyone should get les than 1.40 if you make some calls. THree different beeks all got 1.65 last week from what I was told.
I agree about Sue - what a joke. Most of the members are selling honey out their back door, even the board members to supplement their income.
They even deduct for honey that has real flavor like basswood. Seems they want the HFCS tasting honey!
We have had something like 80 years of similar experiences here in Australia. First a Co-Op and (after the beekeepers FINALLY recognised what was going on), a Producer Owned Corporation was formed. As with all new endeavours, it performed beautifully for the producers until the founders retired, then it followed the universal pattern. It is still ticking over, but has lost a massive volume of its dedicated supply base.
Yes, we all love that tasteless honey. Why? Because we can use it to soften up all that rough stuff we buy in cheap. Its all about the dollars, not the taste. Supermarkets love one single line of honey. It must all be the same color, the same general flavour and the same watery consistency. They have no staff present to explain to the customer why every sample of honey coming from the hive has different characteristics.
It's all about the system and the people who run it. It is not about the producer nor the customer. They are entirely taken for granted.
The irony of it is, that individuals within these organisations do work hard and put a lot of effort in trying in to make it work, but the net result is still the same. They just go on down the gurgle like all the previous ones did.
I am hoping a new one will emerge here. Like governments, they are only valid in their infancy and youth. As mature entities, they become a liability as no one is ever responsible for anything and losses are covered up to save face, passing the pain back to the producer and the synthetic honey on to the customer.
It appears that beekeepers are like bees and are socializing creatures by nature. It seems no other philosophy will work for us, so I just wait and hope for the new organisation. Time for a 'swarm' to emerge?
Honey hot line ,763 658 4193 august 20 th,
No large crop in the USA mid west,going to be a below average crop with some bright spots
No packer offerings quoted, one small lot less than 10 drums sold for 1.75
Marketing your own honey verses say shipping to Sue....... you only have to get burned once, and you can be a dead duck, a load or two you don't get paid for or the price reduced after the buyer receives it ,
you know all the funny little things that can happen when you sell a load of honey.... then that Sue starts to look pretty good... heard their membership has increased the last few years, taking back past producers who were in the bad books with them
Sue saying their price will be 10cents lower than last year..... could the recession be reducing sales ... suppose to be a world shortage, suppose to be a shortage of white honey, Argentina didn't produce no big crop , nor much white honey ...... me thinks it is only a matter of time and the price will be going up... no big crop in Canada either

New York, October 22, 2002--The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) will present its 2002 International Press Freedom Awards to four journalists--from Colombia, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, and Eritrea--who have reported fearlessly on government malfeasance. They have survived brutal physical attack, endured death threats, defied criminal charges, and suffered imprisonment, all in reprisal for their work.
The 12th Annual International Press Freedom Awards will be presented at a dinner ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City on Tuesday, November 26. Thomas H. Glocer, chief executive of Reuters Group PLC, will chair the black-tie dinner, which NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw will host. Other speakers at the awards ceremony include Mike Wallace of CBS News' "60 Minutes," Paul Steiger of The Wall Street Journal, Paula Zahn of CNN, and Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Josh Friedman.
2002 CPJ International Press Freedom Awardees:
Ignacio Gómez is one of Colombia's leading investigative journalists and press freedom activists. He has untangled a complex web of violent conspiracies despite routinely receiving death threats and narrowly escaping a kidnapping attempt. [For more information about Ignacio Gómez, click here.]
Tipu Sultan is an award-winning free-lance reporter from Bangladesh. He was savagely beaten with iron bars and hockey sticks and left for dead after writing an article last year about a corrupt politician. Sultan miraculously survived the attack and, after extensive rehabilitation, is working again as a reporter. [For more information about Tipu Sultan, click here.]
Irina Petrushova is founder and editor-in-chief of the business weekly Respublika in Kazakhstan. Petrushova's paper exposes government corruption, while she has endured grisly death threats, criminal charges, and Molotov cocktails that burned Respublika's office to the ground. [For more information about Irina Petrushova, click here.]
Fesshaye Yohannes is a writer and co-founder of Setit, a popular Eritrean newspaper. He was imprisoned last September with nine other journalists after authorities banned all of Eritrea's independent newspapers for "jeopardizing national unity." He is being held incommunicado without charges. [For more information about Fesshaye Yohannes, click here.]
Burton Benjamin Memorial Award:
CPJ will also honor Daniel Pearl (1963-2002), South Asia bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal, with the Burton Benjamin Memorial Award. The Burton Benjamin Memorial Award, given for a lifetime of distinguished achievement for the cause of press freedom, honors the late CBS News senior producer and former CPJ chairman, who died in 1988. By giving this award to Pearl, CPJ is recognizing his courage, talent, and intelligence as a reporter.
Pearl had been South Asia bureau chief for almost two years when he was kidnapped and murdered while working on a story in Karachi, Pakistan, early this year. Pearl was 38 years old.
Throughout his career, Pearl was known as an enterprising and tenacious reporter with an eye for detail and a quick wit. A graduate of Stanford University, he worked for several small regional newspapers before joining the Wall Street Journal in 1990, where he made his reputation by writing the quirky feature stories that appear on the newspaper's front page. He reported as a foreign correspondent from London, Paris, and Bombay.
Pearl's wife, Mariane Pearl, will accept the award in his honor.
"Now more than ever, journalists around the world face personal danger as they try to report the truth," said David Laventhol, chairman of CPJ's board of directors. "CPJ is pleased to recognize these journalist heroes. They set an example for all of us."
Ann Cooper, CPJ executive director, said of the awardees, "Through their reporting, all of these journalists have exposed corrupt and lawless officials. By holding those in power accountable, these journalists often pay a high personal price for their work."

Reeling in fun as Bend-area kids get to fish
ODFW hosts free kids fishing day
BEND, Ore. - Central Oregon kids got a chance to reel in some big fish on Saturday at a special event just for them.
It was the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's annual youth fishing event, held at Pine Nursery Park in northeast Bend.
One 5-year-old boy caught a 15-ich rainbow trout after fishing only a half an hour.
The Central Oregon Flyfishers were there, teaching kids about fly tying and fishing.
Kids were able to borrow rods, fishing tack and, of course, keep the fish they caught.
About 100 kids and their families turned out for the event.
"This is our first time at the pond. We're just out here to catch some rays -- and hopefully some fish, too," said Branegan Dixon, who was fishing with his 4-year-old son.
""We want them to have fun and kind of get kids hooked on fishing and enjoy the outdoors, but also to teach them some skills," said ODFW fish biologist Jennifer Luke.
ODFW will host another free kids' fishing day coming up in June at Shevlin Park.
You can head to their website http://www.dfw.state.or.us/ for more information.

[Article]-Video: Exploring Metasploit 3 and the New and Improved Web Interface - Part 2
Either way, Chris is doing some great work here especially for those of you who are command line challenged. The new Web Interface is really impressive.
Have fun.
Permanent Link: [Article]-Video: Exploring Metasploit 3 and the New and Improved Web Interface
Overview of Video
In this video we explore the revised MSFWeb interface for the Metasploit Framework 3.0. We specifically take a look at running "browser" exploits where you have to get the victim to connect back to your listening Metasploit instance. We'll use the ie_createobject exploit via the MSFweb GUI, and then we'll use the wmf_setabortproc exploit using the built in msfconsole (a new addition in MSFWeb 3.0). We'll also take a look at using custom meterpreter scripts; first to see if the victim is running in vmware and second, to clear the event logs.
Enjoy and keep an eye out for future videos. Feel free to post comments and suggestions for future videos.Thanks,
Chris Gates

California Bill Seeks Campus Credit for Online Study
Original post made by Annie, Downtown North, on Mar 13, 2013
Web Link
This is a disaster. The end of the UCs as we know them. Replaced by trumped up for profit online learning companies who will make a fortune and provide an education which is a very poor substitute for a professor.
This is a disaster. How will our kids compete with the graduates from ITT or China or Europe or Australia where education is still properly funded!
a resident of Nixon School
on Mar 14, 2013 at 8:43 am
This IS how our kids will have to compete. Good colleges have become all but unaffordable for the middle class. Completely unaffordable if you have more than one child. The UCs as we knew them do not exist anymore. The foreign students, especially mainland Chinese, are given priority because they have to pay so much more. The UC system announced this last fall! They are interested in profit and administrative salaries more than educating American kids. Ironic, as the UC system, as well as the CSUs, we're created specifically for educating California kids, and the law states that they are to be given first priority. Jerry Brown has tried unsuccessfully to remind them of this.
The East Coast schools are no better. I personally know grads from MIT and Columbia who say that their alma maters did not prepare them for Silicon Valley at all, and they feel undereducated here.
We have a friend who is a former CEO of Intel who has tried u successfully for YEARS to make the Obama administration see that the US is one of only four countries in the world ( the others are in Africa) that do not pay the cost of at least a four-year degree for their citizens, and that this must change IMMEDIATELY.
Sometimes I think all is hopeless unless there is a middle class revolt.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Mar 14, 2013 at 11:26 am
I saw a news program that brought up how do they prevent cheating? And this is not easy, there are several methods they employ, but still it gives me pause to endorse this method of learning in a major way.
Taking one or two online courses makes sense; getting the entire degree remotely doesn't seem equivalent to me to being on a UC campus and participating in classes and sections with TAs.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Mar 14, 2013 at 11:29 am
Gee, I know UC Berkeley and MIT grads here and they seem to be ultra successful and well-educated. Do you mean very recent grads (like in the past 5 years or something)? -- that could be different, I suppose.
I do oppose the current practice of "selling" of UC spots to foreign students, some of whom have doctored (phony) applications. UC should give priority to legal California citizens and residents - end of story.
a resident of Nixon School
on Mar 14, 2013 at 4:04 pm
@neighbor: I was talking about recent grads from MIT, Cornell, Columbia, Boston University, Michigan, Geogia Tech--all in the last 3-4 years!
The state of CA has laws that say California high school grads who qualify MUST have first priority at the CSUs and UCs. Jerry Brown has reminded them of this but had no luck enforcing it. The UCs announced last September that foreign students were given priority because the system needs the money. That does NOT bode well for CA or the nation, especially if schools in other states are doing the same thing as the UCs here ( and from some accounts, they are). It is a national tragedy and a national crisis, but all the schools can think about is money NOW, not national economic well-being in the future.
This situation is certainly immoral, untenable, and should be criminal. Charity begins at home, my friends
Until our government catches up to almost all the rest of the world in funding advanced education, the only recourse is online education. For lack of anything better right now, we have to do SOMETHING to level the playing field!

What new products will be on display when you visit your favorite toy store or toy aisle this year? That's all decided at the annual American International Toy Fair, in New York City. The Toy Industry Association (TIA) organizes the big event. This year, TIA celebrated the 110th Toy Fair on February 10-13 at New York's Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. More than 1,000 toy companies showed off more than 150,000 toys and games to thousands of buyers (people employed to purchase products for a store) and media.
TIA toy trends expert Adrienne Appell chatted with TIME For Kids during Toy Fair. "We get to see what toys kind of make it or break it," Appell told TFK. "Sometimes something looks really cool, but for one reason or another it never makes it to the store."
Appell previewed thousands of new toys to determine the big patterns in the industry for 2013. "One of the biggest trends we are seeing are retro throwback toys," Appell said, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers and Cabbage Patch Kids. "We are also seeing different apps that are becoming toys, like Bejeweled Blitz [and] Draw Something. We're seeing a lot of crossover from pop culture into the toy aisle."
TFK visited some of the toy companies at Toy Fair to check out what's new for 2013. To see some highlights, watch the video below, and click here to view a slideshow of more toys.

a double wedding ring quilt
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I played with bargello. BORING...but beautiful!
No way will i tackle cathedral windows btw.
Janome 9900 / Janome 9700 / Janome Decor 3050 / Janome 1100D serger
Singer Centennial model (inherited from my late, fav aunt!)
I am soooooo enjoying reading the responses! I am slowly tackling both paper piecing and circles (or at least partial circles/curves) in my current NYB project, and yes, it's daunting, but I will persevere!
I've seen some magnificant Bargello's. Some day - - - - -
Nothing intimidates me just some I don't have a desire to make. Wish I had more time to make the long list of those I do want to make. I'm currently working on three quilts as well as embroidering squares for kids quilts.
I can't say I am intimidated... just some I don't have patience to complete... Dear Jane being one of them.. I love them but just know I would not ever live to see it finished.
Mariner's compass, New York Beauty, anything with teeny tiny points. But I'm determined to tackle both one day, just to say I did it!
"Piecin' a quilt's like livin' a life...The Lord sends us the pieces, but we can cut 'em out and put 'em together pretty much to suit ourselves, and there's a heap more in the cuttin' and the sewin' than there is in the caliker...I've had a heap of comfort all my life making quilts, and now in my old age I wouldn't take a fortune for them." (Eliza Calvert Hall, Aunt Jane of Kentucky)
Anything with a curved seam. Drunkards path, apple core......
Bargellos are super easy they just look hard. If you can do a trip around the world you can do a bargello

Rant of the day:
So saturday was nice out mid day, decided to take the dog to the park for maybe a half hour or so, socialize with other dogs. She unfortunately is only around small dogs usually.
So i drive down there, it's like 30 seconds from my house, and start walking her around the area. I find this guy with a golden who took a liking to Tizzie, so we're talking or whatever, he had a Giants hat on so we were shootin the **** about the Gmen.
Then this lady comes over with a...well i dont know what it was. it looked like a bigger version of a yorkie....and this dog is barking it's face off at Tizz and this golden.
They lady says "excuse me! excuse me sir..." and both me and this other guy are like "huh? me?" and she points at me.
in my head: "Heeeeeere we go!!"
Me - "yes?"
her - "There's a sign over there near the park sign that says no pitbulls...and it says all aggressive dogs will be asked to leave."
Me - "ok, so why are you telling me this?"
Her - "you have a pitbull"
me - "I have an American Staffordshire Terrier. Pitbull is a made up word."
Her - "well, aggressive dogs are asked to leave. your dog isn't allowed here"
So I look at her dog yapping at Tizzie....look back at her....look back at the dog yapping...look back at her...
"Yes, my pitbull is so aggressive that it's sitting by my feet staring at your dog while yours is trying to attack mine....she's sooooo aggressive!!"
The other guy chimes in "Ma'am, we're having a conversation here. Your dog is being disruptive and aggressive, we're going to have to ask you to leave"
"How dare you talk to me that way!! I'm calling the town!!!"
"ok, and tell them what? that there are 2 nice gentlemen in the dog park with 2 nice dogs.....that you dont happen to like? Good luck with that I guess"
I hate people.

Chavez should teach Obama how to get our gas prices down to $0.18 a gallon like it is in his country.
Only "GREED" stands in the way.
These gas prices are why people aren't spending money on other things.
When it takes 20%-25% of the average Americans paycheck to buy enough gas to go to work,,, something is seriously out of balance.
What a moronic statement.....
