Rotary renews 'Pints for Polio' campaign
BEND, Ore. - In support of an international Rotary effort to eradicate polio and encourage Central Oregonians to vaccinate their children, The Rotary Club of Greater Bend announced a local campaign last year with the goal to raise at least $15,000 to support the worldwide effort. The second Pints for Polio event is scheduled to kick-off Saturday, March 9 from 2–6pm at 14 breweries/pubs participating in downtown Bend.
Title sponsor for the event is Lewis & Clark Bank, based in Oregon City, a full service bank with a Central Oregon Loan Production Office directed by Rotarian Larry Snyder.
The Pints for Polio event, set for Saturday, March 9 from 2-6pm in downtown Bend, will be a "pub crawl" type event where attendees will get a sampling of local beers from 14 Bend pubs and restaurants.
Cost is $25 per person and all the proceeds from the event will go into the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Attendees will receive a commemorative pint glass and a punch card good for six ounce beer tastes at a variety of downtown pubs to be used on the day of the event. (See complete details of the event at the end.)
Registrations can be made on-line at www.PintsForPolio.org or if you would like to help sponsor the effort contact Cort Vaughn at 541-383-8180 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is committed to achieving a polio-free world. Rotary is a spearheading partner in the GPEI, along with the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The goal of the initiative is the global certification of polio eradication.
Local Rotarian and business consultant Cort Vaughan, a polio survivor, is chair of the End Polio Now Rotary Club of Greater Bend campaign. "I spent four months in the hospital at the age of two recovering from Polio," explained Vaughan. "The disease left my right leg paralyzed below the knee. I do not want another child anywhere to be paralyzed by this horrible disease, which is why I am working with Rotary to immunize every child in the world."
Rotary Club of Greater Bend President Jerry Upham has made it a priority for the local club to raise funds to help eradicate polio. Upham reported that through the work of the GPEI, more than five million people, mainly in the developing world, who would otherwise have been paralyzed, are walking because they have been immunized against polio, and more than 500,000 cases of polio are prevented each year due to the efforts of governments and the GPEI partnership. Transmission of the polio virus has been stopped in numerous countries but still remains a threat in places like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Chad and Niger.
In the first outbreak of polio in 2012 outside of an endemic country or a country with re-established poliovirus, Niger has reported a case of wild poliovirus. This is the first case in the country since December 2011 and is related to virus originating in Nigeria.
2012 ended with the fewest children paralyzed by wild polio virus, in the fewest places, in history. Two hundred and eighteen wild polio cases were reported so far in 2012 – a greater than 60 percent reduction from 2011. Over the year, through the tireless dedication of the on-the-ground heroes of polio eradication, more than 2 billion doses of vaccine were distributed to 429 million children around the world.
According to the Oregon Public Health Authority immunization is the safest and most effective public health tool available for preventing disease and death.
Vaccinating our families according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended immunization schedules, not only protects our loved ones, but our entire community as well.
Vaughan explains that what that statement means by protecting our community is the concept of herd immunity. "If someone infected with a communicable disease visits our community and only meets people who are immune, then the disease will not spread. If that infected person comes in contact with a susceptible individual, then the disease can spread. That is how epidemics get started. The greater the proportion of individuals who are resistant, the smaller the probability that a susceptible individual will come into contact with an infectious person. In this way unvaccinated people are indirectly protected by vaccinated people."
Unvaccinated children actually threaten the rest of the population by decreasing our herd immunity. A community must be about 85 percent vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. "The vaccination rate in Deschutes County is about 93 percent, so we do have herd immunity," Vaughan said. However, school enrollment records from 2010/2011 indicated that some elementary schools on the west side of Bend had vaccination rates as low as 39 percent according to a news report in The Bulletin. "This puts all of the children in those schools at risk."
Routine childhood vaccinations eradicated Polio in the United States in 1975 and have almost eliminated Whooping Cough, Measles and other diseases that were once common. Some parents mistakenly believe that those diseases no longer exist and that vaccinations are not necessary. There have been recent outbreaks of Measles and Whooping Cough in multiple locations including Washington, Oregon and California. None of these occurred in Deschutes County, however we are vulnerable. Recent outbreaks of Measles and Whooping Cough demonstrate that these diseases are still present and that routine vaccinations are critical to our health.

''Koi Fish Meeting,'' by Edith Pavy Beam
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 10:23 AM
By Jordan Gribble / Special to the American Press
Local watercolor painting collective Nancy Melton and Friends will kick off its Spring Watercolor Show and Sale with a reception 5-8 p.m. Friday in Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church, 221 Aqua Drive.
The show will feature the works of 25 local artists and will highlight paintings by Edith Pavy Beam. The reception will feature a silent auction, a boutique and paintings from the featured artists for sale.
Proceeds will fund a youth mission trip to Jonestown, Miss., where nearly 20 McNeese students will repair homes and clear land for a playground.
Beam said she's been painting in watercolors and with this group for nearly a decade.
"I've always loved any kind of art, and after trying painting in oils, acrylics and pastels, I decided I wanted to try watercolor," she said. "I joined this group 9 1/2 years ago, and I've been with it ever since."
Beam said members take turns being the featured artist in the annual show. She said she'll showcase 30 works of art — "seascapes, flowers, portraits, landscapes, some abstracts and local wildlife such as egrets and alligators."
The work featured in the show will be for sale and on exhibit at Our Lady of Good Counsel until May 12.

Well done, Edith,
Excellent presentation and your work was just fabulous. Very surprised to discover you do portraiture as well.

Generosity and Children
Like many adults, kids tend to be more generous when someone else is aware of their actions. A new study from Yale University says age isn't really a factor when it comes to giving.
Previous research with adults has shown that they are more likely to act in ways that will benefit their reputation if they know someone else is aware of their actions. If they know that their actions are going to be made public, they also tend to be more generous compared to when they are giving anonymously.
Research on children has been rather scant in relation to this topic. The researchers at Yale University decided to see if young children were as inclined to be more generous when they knew their actions were being watched as adults.
According to the results of the study, scientists have concluded that children view generosity pretty much as adults do.
Researchers gave stickers to 5-year-old children who had the option of sharing one or four of the stickers with another child of the same age. The children were more generous when they could see the recipient than when the recipient was hidden. They were also more generous when they had to give the stickers in a transparent container rather than in one where the stickers could not be seen. No matter how many stickers the children were allowed to keep for themselves, the results were the same when they were ask to give others stickers. If they could see who was getting the stickers they gave more. If the amount of stickers they were giving, could be seen by others they gave more. If not- they gave less.
The scientists deduced from these results that children as young as five years of age are able to make strategic decisions about whether to be generous or not if no one sees their gift.
"Although the frequency with which children acted antisocially is striking, the conditions under which they chose to act generously are even more interesting and suggest that children likely use much more sophisticated pro-social strategies than we previously assumed," study author Kristin Lyn Leimgruber said in a journal news release.
"Much like the patterns of charity we see in adults, donation tendencies in children appear to be driven by the amount of information available to others about their actions -- for both adults and children, the more others know about their actions, the more likely they are to act generously," Leimgruber said.
The study was published in the journal PLoS One.
The study begs the question, what is generosity? Is generosity limited to how much is given or is it simply the act of giving? Most dictionaries define generosity as being generous. Generous is defined as Liberal in giving, Characterized by a noble and forbearing spirit. People give in all kinds of ways, and some people are better at giving than others.
In an individualist society generosity is not necessarily a benefit to the individual- they may give away what they need to survive. In communal relationships, generosity may benefit the group and the group's survival each helping the other.
So, are children as young as five really capable of being truly generous with all the underpinnings that come with that word- or are they simply hoping for the chance to be recognized as someone special when others are watching (as some adults do?)
Is the fuller concept of generosity something that has to be learned or is it instinctual?
Although the study's applications and conclusions appear to be coordinated, I'm inclined to believe that children most likely learn about being generous from the adults or older kids around them.
It could be possible that young children are not necessarily making strategic decisions about generosity, but are simply feeling their way through life - as they know it - without the benefit of experience in life's complicated but always interesting woven tapestry.
Let us know your thoughts!

Institute for Cyber Security launches tech incubator
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 20, 2008)--The UTSA Institute for Cyber Security (ICS) has launched the new Internet security incubator, a program which will develop and assist in commercializing promising technologies that address major cyber security and privacy issues. As part of the launch, ICS selected two San Antonio start-ups, DenimIP and SafeMashups, as the first companies entering the incubator.
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
Article tools
In 2007, DenimIP was recognized by the San Antonio Business Journal as one of the "Best Places to Work." In 2006, the journal named DenimIP the "Fastest Growing Company in San Antonio."
"This is the culmination of years of hard work between UTSA, security companies in San Antonio and the Department of Defense institutions that reside in our community," said John Dickson, principal at Denim Group, a San Antonio-based consultancy that builds and secures software applications for Fortune 500 clients. "The ICS Incubator will help identify promising security technologies that exist at or are close to UTSA and will accelerate getting the best of these technologies to market."
The Institute for Cyber Security is led by Ravi Sandhu, ICS executive director and nationally renowned scholar. The ICS Incubator, one component of the Institute for Cyber Security, is led by Ravi Ganesan, a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur.
The ICS incubator is structured to work with both innovations developed at UTSA, as well as to work with entrepreneurs who could benefit from the expertise and resources of UTSA researchers.
To become a part of the program, participants must agree to significant collaboration with ICS or other UTSA staff. In exchange, the ICS incubator will provide resources such as:
- Access to entrepreneurial researchers with a proven ability to innovate and bring products to market
- Access to seed capital
- Access to experience in the life cycle of startups from "ideas" to "exits" and everything between
- Support with intellectual property protection (patents, software)
- Infrastructure (office and administrative) support
ICS will offer selected companies vital resources such as access to ICS labs and the extensive body of research and expertise of ICS advisors and university staff to support everything from product development, to marketing, to strategic guidance, to office and administrative support. By leveraging the ICS incubator to expedite its commercialization efforts, incubator companies will fast-track product development efforts and expedite time to capital, market and profitability.
"Public and private investment in sponsored cyber-security research results in the creation of technology, inventions and ideas," said Robert W. Gracy, UTSA vice president for research. "By offering local entrepreneurs access to university resources and providing a forum for researchers to transform their research into marketable business ventures, we enable students, faculty and entrepreneurs to commercialize their ideas, produce successful financially viable and freestanding businesses, and create additional jobs in the community."
The mission of the UTSA Institute for Cyber Security is to conduct world-class research with commercialization. Founded in June 2007 and funded as part of the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, the institute is staffed by leading researchers and senior software architects with expertise in emerging Internet security issues. ICS consists of three units: ICS Labs, a nationally resputed center for academic research; ICS Incubator, established to make San Antonio a fertile breeding ground for security companies; and the ICS Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS), which leverages San Antonio's IAS skills as part of the solution to the nation's homeland security needs.
About DenimIP and SafeMashups
DenimIP is a venture created as a spinoff of Denim Group LLP, an IT consultancy specializing in custom software development, systems integration and application security. The Denim Group serves a national and international client base of commercial and public sector organizations in industries including financial services, banking, insurance, health care and defense. DenimIP was created to commercialize leading-edge technology developed at the Denim Group to provide non-intrusive, real-time detection of attacks on certain classes of Web applications.
SafeMashups is a fledgling company founded to provide the level of security needed for enterprises to strategically leverage mashups for business purposes. With patent-pending technology that will enable companies to more strategically use mashups without placing their IT systems at risk, SafeMashups aims to build a strong position in the growing Web 2.0 applications market, predicted by Forrester Research to reach $4.6 billion globally by 2013.

If President Obama wanted the NSA to quit storing phone metadata, he'd act now
By Dave Maass
April 7, 2014
ights groups are applauding the move. But they say it's virtually a meaningless gesture in its current form. As chief executive, Obama has the power to reform the NSA on his own with the stroke of a pen. By not putting this initiative into an executive order, he punted to Congress on an issue that affects the civil liberties of most anybody who picks up a phone. Every day Congress waits on the issue is another day Americans' calling records are being collected by the government without suspicion that any crime was committed.
"He does not need congressional approval for this," said Mark Jaycox, an Electronic Frontier Foundation legislative analyst.

Pictures we need pictures!!! Congrats get present...
Well, it looks like I don't have to wait until I retire to buy one of these rifles! My wife shocked me this morning with a StG 44 .22LR for Father's Day. She listens pretty well to my ramblings and has known I wanted one of these for quite a while now. So the other day she stopped in at my local gun store and picked one up for me.
I really think it is cool that it comes in a wooden crate like a military weapon used to. The instructions (What real man reads them?) were easy to read and included nice clear photos. Well, I loaded 10 rounds into the magazine and went out and fired it. Very smooth, and for right out of the box, very accurate. My wife fired a couple of rounds and she likes it too. I am going to take it out later and put a couple hundred rounds through it.
Preliminary report...It's very cool!!
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
Pictures we need pictures!!! Congrats get present...
"Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway." - The Duke
Here it is! My wonderful wife and I are going to go to the range and have some fun!
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
Okay, between my wife and I, probably 200 rounds through it. It is a nice shooter and accurate. To me the one weakness is the magazine, it is finicky to load. And for the love of God don't push the spring release down more than one round or all hell breaks loose inside the magazine with rounds going sideways and upside down and all sorts of kiddiwompas!
All in all a fun gun and a definite keeper!
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
How nice was that????
Sounds like a candidate for a "no tilt " follower though. I had a gun years ago that did that too, don't remember just what it was right now???? It is uber-cool looking IMO,, for sure and from what I'd read there pretty decent quality. I'd love to see one. It looks like you have to have the stock off to put it in the box,right? By the looks of the pics I've seen of them, it looks like it???? Does it have a quick release for the stock or something?
YOU LUCKY DOG YOU!!!! Bet you'll have fun with that!
Happy Father's day and Congrats on the new StG 44 .22LR she is a beauty. I also received a nice gift from my boy's this morning a new set of CT LG460 laser grips for my Kahr K40.
Yes, the stock has to come off to put it in the box.
I need at least 3 more magazines for it and a sling.
Life's a crap shoot. Sometimes you say crap and sometimes you shoot. Make sure that you don't mess those 2 up!
Oh ya, I see the button you're referring to. Hows about a picture in the box???
Is the fit and finish quality as good as I've read, or is that just another gun writers story, from someone that thinks every gun is great?? It's hard to get an honest review from many places now. Well these guys,, are ,,getting paid to write reviews and they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them . Can't blame them but hard to believe most reviews.
Rifleman is kinda like that, there testing guns and giving them great write ups and there shooting 2 MOA groups with high priced ammo,,,WTF?? I'd peddle something like that, or send it back till it shot straight. Good Lord!!!! That's a POS in my opinion. But you won't hear that from them!
I'd rather ask someone that really owns one and knows guns, what somethings really like. I don't know if I'd ever shoot one much myself, but they would defiantly be desirable for something unique for the collection. I don't really see many being made so it might be a neat one to have. Maybe for a younger guy anyhow, I won't live long enough to see any real appreciation in value, but you younger guys keep one pristine for 30-35 years or more with the box and paperwork,, then you're talking.
But I really do like the looks, and I've handled a WW11 STG 44 before and they defiantly have the "OH COOL" factor working for them. I might have to see if I can find one around here, I haven't seen one yet. I'd like to get a look at them.
Kinda like my NIB match Garrand is for me, I get offers for that almost every month sometimes several inquiries, good ones too, but that's my emergency fund, no sale! If I don't need it,,, it will be a good inheritance for one of the kids.
One of those STG's would unfortunately probably end up in my buds bank vault, if I did get one. That's where my Garrand is, the wood box is to big for a safe, and I have no more room for more safes,,,,
Gezzzzz,,,, now I think about it,,,
what a delema to have,,,,,OH Boo Hoo !!!!!
I got a wheel barrow.

Re-buy the rights to crash bandicoot
Dear Naughty Dog and fans,
I'v played all your games Naugthy Dog from Crash Bandicoot series, Jak and Dexter series and the Uncharted Series I am looking forward to The Last Of Us but I would really love for you guys to buy the right's back to Crash Bandicoot. Why do I say this because I am speaking out for last of people with same passion I have for crashed bandicoot the game it self was the most fun thing I have ever played and I want more of it but since you sold it out it has gone down hill and hardly spoken of these day's, please Naughty Dog buy Crash Bandicoot rights back.
Yours sincerely
Re: Re-buy the rights to crash bandicoot
I dont think this would ever happen, but i totally agree that it would be awesome. however i am impressed with the direction that ND is going and i fully support them in their future projects.

Why? Especially when the new games they've created have been more successful than Crash has ever been.
Crash was actually more succesful in terms of sales compared to Jak and Uncharted. Letting Naughty Dog making a new Crash Bandicoot game wouldn't work though. Most people that worked on that IP have left so it's just basically the same as letting another studio develop the game.
Re: Re-buy the rights to crash bandicoot
I agree, Crash needs to come back. I understand how difficult it would be for Sony to get him back; but the benefits would be great for them. Playstation doesn't really have a solid mascot. With the PS4 coming this year of 2013, it would be the perfect time to acquire the rights to Crash Bandicoot and reboot the series on the PS4. Us fans need this. People need to realize how amazing a new Crash Bandioot would be if Naughty Dog was to reboot the series on the new next gen technology. I cant say it enough, WE NEED CRASH BACK!!!
Re: Re-buy the rights to crash bandicoot
CRASH BANDICOOT sold over 22 million copies, which shows that it was very successful as it was produced by someone who really liked the character. So I fully agree that NAUGHTY DOG BECOMES producing it.
Re: Re-buy the rights to crash bandicoot[ Edited ]
Look at what Activision did to Zork? Just like robotics works better then humans for exploring new worlds single player adventures with good NPC AI works great for exploring new graphic technology--not MP. I can't hold my breath for this industry bringing anything back any more then we are going to bring back the 'American Dream'. Have you heard of the book or movie, "_Gone With The Wind_"? Well this is all wishful thinking that is 'gone with the wind' imo.

About London, England, School Admissions and Discharges, 1840-1911
This is a collection of School Admission and Discharges for schools in London. This collection contains more than a million students from 843 different schools. In 1833, Parliament started to provide money for the construction of schools for poor children, although it was still largely a private affair. Mandatory schooling was a local decision until 1870, when children were required to attend from age 5 to 10. By 1918, education was required up to the age of 14.
These records are lists of children who were admitted to and discharged from schools. When education was required, children could be discharged from their schooling if they were needed to work to help support the family. The records vary by school and some are more detailed than others. The records include:
- Admission Date
- Name
- Parents' names
- Parents' occupation
- Address
- Birth date
- Age

text: I feel that this is the only way to make me feel better. I, myself have been going to Giants games since I was 8-years old, splitting the games with two of my uncles. When my dad realized how much of a love I had for the sport and for the Giants I starting attending every single home game. I haven't missed a home game in 10 years and unfortunately I now know that my streak will most likely come to an end. I got the dreaded phone call from the person who my father and I get our season tickets from and of course it concerned the PSL's. Luckily our seats were going for $4,000 a piece but unfortunately these tough economic times have hit my family hard. These sundays that we all share together as part of the NFL family are very special to me because it is when I spend the majority of my time with my father. Does the NFL care? No. Does the Giants organization care? No. It all comes down to the almighty dollar and fancy "ammenities" that the Giants think the fans are looking forward to. Do I need a state of the art tailgating area? No. Cushioned seats? No. Waiter service? No. I've been going to Giants games for one reason and one reason only. To watch the New York Football Giants play the greatest game in the world. But now, I will be stuck at home watching the game instead of being apart of the greatest team and greatest game.

So was doing a hurried inspection of my hive this Sunday, trying to get all the bars accounted for before the rain clouds would hit (and sadly they didn't). I noticed on one of my hive the comb had some pimples, actually probably drone cells. Was interesting to see how distended the capped cells looked, honestly like a big old zit that needed some popping. Wish I had my camera at the time to get some pics.
Anyways, here is my question in regards to that: How much drone is too much drone?
I think in all that hive had maybe a handful (~5) capped drone cells on two bars. These are package bees installed on May 7th, one hive is building lots of comb on the south side of the hive but she is laying very regular, while the other is building evenly on the bars but her laying ( and their pollen storing) is a bit less regular. This irregular queen is the one with a few drone cells. At what point does drone cells become an issue?

I'd go for the SubCompact w/3" barrel...Easier to CC and a bit lighter but PLENTY enough gun for off-duty... I find myself appreciating "smaller and lighter" more as the years unfold. But it would mean going to .40 (or 9mm) so you may not be into it. I'm just sayin'... the .45 "Compact" isn't really very compact.
PS: If you want to stick with .45 in light and concealable... If you're willing to go single-stack, any of the Kahrs are sturdy and reliable and come in various sizes... I have CW45 and CW9 (they're great). Double-stack... the Para-Ordinance Warthog is worth a look at 24 oz. 10+1.

bottomline is we have to see if Fewell has the capability to gameplan to negate RG and Morris...
and for me, trading our FGs made for TDs to be would have made a lot of differences in many of the games our Team has played in at least the last 2 seasons.
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
In any event, the Redskins and Cowboys went on with the dumping and the league instituted serious cap penalties on them this season. Mara came out and said he thought the penalties were appropriate and they are lucky they didn't lose draft picks, so now Redskins fans hate him for saying that.
whatever.........I'm more worried abotu the Redskins team, than the Redskins fan opinion

it took awhile but I was in no hurry…….

First up, and this part gets spoilerish, comes news from FilmSchoolRejects.com that we might be seeing The Blob in the film:
We got a note from someone who was on set this week while they shot test footage of an actor in a huge rubber suit for The Blob. The interesting part is that they made the suit to look like The Blob was about 800lbs, but producers want to make him bigger, something like 1200lbs. I did some research (as I am not too familiar with The Blob's history) and I found that he was around 500lbs. originally.

Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

Originally posted by Inactive UserUniversal Pictures and Hasbro announced Wednesday a six-year strategic partnership to produce at least four feature films based on some of Hasbro's best-known game and toy brands says Reuters.
Hasbro has the option of co-funding production of the films and will retain all merchandising rights to the brands with the first film to be out by 2010 or 2011 and at least one film a year released after that.
The manufacturer will partner exclusively with Universal for feature films with the exception of "Transformers" and "G.I. Joe," which are already setup at DreamWorks and Paramount.
Amongst these are such properties as Monopoly, Candy Land, Clue, Ouija, Battleship, Magic, the Gathering and Stretch Armstrong. Hasbro COO Brian Goldner says David Berenbaum is penning a draft for "Ouija" and Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes will produce. He also says Hasbro is in negotiations with Ridley Scott on "Monopoly".
Hasbro is co-financing script development with Universal and has the option of co-funding production of the films. Hasbro will retain all merchandising rights to the brands, and the companies will share in consumer products revenue generated by the movies.

Now though that John Lasseter and crew are back in the saddle, they have a different plan in store for the fully Pixar-approved third "Toy Story" feature says The Wall Street Journal.
Director Lee Unkrich says that "Woody the cowboy and his toy-box friends are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college." Michael Arndt ("Little Miss Sunshine") wrote the new screenplay.

According to Variety, Weaving will play Detective Aberline, a character who didn't appear in the original film but who is doubtless charged with the task of hunting down and capturing the titular creature. The Matrix star joins an already stellar cast that includes Benicio Del Toro as the hirsute one, Anthony Hopkins as his father and Emily Blunt as his love interest.
As previously reported, Joe Johnston has replaced Mark Romanek in the director's chair, while David Self recently re-wrote of Andrew Kevin Walker's script.

Originally posted by Inactive UserSeries star Matt Damon initially seemed ready to depart the Bourne franchise after Ultimatum, but he's publicly backpedaled in recent months. Now, word is that both Damon and director Paul Greengrass have agreed to another movie in the novel-based action series.
The news is discreetly included in a Variety feature about Universal's future plans. The industry insider mag says that the studio's chairman Marc Shmuger and co-chairman David Linde recently "landed Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon for a fourth Bourne movie, even though the director and star seemed ready to wrap it up after three pics."
There's no word on when the movie might begin production, but both Damon and Greengrass' dance cards are pretty full. They're currently working together again on the The Green Zone.
The Bourne Ultimatum won three Oscars during last night's Academy Awards show, all in technical categories.

He will reteam with co-star Francois Berleand, while Robert Knepper ("Prison Break") has joined the cast.
As was reported last month, Louis Leterrier, who directed the first two pics, has been replaced by Olivier Megaton (Exit, The Red Siren), who was second-unit director on EuropaCorp's Hitman.
The film, which will be produced by EuropaCorp principal Luc Besson and Steve Chasman, will shoot for 16 weeks in Russia and France.
Originally posted by Inactive UserLensing soon under the direction of Toby Wilkins, The Grudge 3 has begun casting. It appears Takako Fuji and Yuya Ozeki - who have played the pasty, bug-eyed ghosts Kayako and Toshio, respectively, in past entries - will not be reprising their roles. The following casting breakdown was sent out and subsequently picked up by Moviehole:
FEMALE - appears to be early to mid 30s, JAPANESE WOMAN, The iconic monster of the Grudge franchise. After being killed in a fit of jealous rage by her husband, Kayako has returned as a ghost to kill those who come in contact with the curse.
MALE - appears to be 10 or 11 years old, JAPANESE BOY, Kayako's son who was tragically killed after his mother. He has returned as a ghost to haunt those who have become victim of the curse.
Written by Brad Keene, "Grudge 3" will shoot in Bulgaria and debut on DVD.

Well, have no fear, true believers, because the planned Silver Surfer prequel movie will give the fans what they want, a much better look at Galactus, at least according to the film's screenwriter, J. Michael Straczynski, who mentioned this at his Wondercon Spotlight panel.
As Newsarama reports from the panel:
For what the Silver Surfer movie entails Straczynski says it will cover the origin of the character. He said it will feature Galactus, noting that the latest Fantastic Four film held off on showing Galactus to reveal him for this film.

Not so according to Cinema Blend who've picked up the interesting rumor that Rosenbaum was seen out and about lunching with Michael Bay in Hollywood this past weekend, and that they were talking business.
What business? Why the planned reboot of the classic horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street" that Bay's Platinum Dunes is producing is the best guess. Could this mean Rosenbaum is slipping on the sharp claws that Robert Englund made famous? (trivia: Englund and Rosenbaum starred together in 1998's "Urban Legend").
Even the site admits the casting "is all wild conjecture" but "Bay and Rosenbaum are definitely up to something". A voice for "Transformers 2" is another guess.

New York, May 24, 2010—Two months after the murder of Colombian journalist Clodomiro Castilla Ospino, the investigation is stalled and the victim's daughter has been forced to flee her hometown of Montería after being followed and harassed. The Committee to Protect Journalists called on authorities today to conduct an exhaustive inquiry into Castilla's killing, provide protection for his family, and bring those responsible to justice.
New York, March 22, 2010—The Committee to Protect Journalists urges Colombian authorities to fully investigate the death of journalist Clodomiro Castilla Ospino, left, who was shot on Friday by an unidentified gunman in the northern city of Montería, according to local press reports.
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.

Pine River area Soup & Sweets fundraiser draws soup-er crowd
Communities are as individual as people. They have their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, appearances, basic moral structures and goals.
I picture the Hollywood community as glitzy, catering to the rich and narcissists, attracting star-wannabes and star groupies. I picture their people as willing to step on or over anyone to get ahead.
Our Pine River-Backus community is in a class of its own!
The people who reside in our area have the "village" mentality, meaning we are all responsible for the greater good of each community member. While we are committed to the success of area businesses and believe in dreaming of what we hope to see here tomorrow, we still hold fast to the basic building blocks we hold dear — family values, safe neighborhoods and pride in our history.
When our community members reach out to succeed here at home, at the same time they reach back to help others reach their potential also. Our Pine River-Backus community members are committed to servitude at home.
Generally speaking, our area is classified as rural and depressed economically. The number of clients who come to the Pine River Area Food Shelf have increased dramatically in the last five years. More and more of our neighbors are facing food insecurity.
But, no matter how long the lines at the door get, the food shelf has been able to meet the needs because of the generosity and dedication in our community to take care of their own. Outside funding sources may be tightening their purses or drying up completely, but we have been able to count on the great people of the Pine River-Backus community to continue to help us find resources.
For the first time, the Pine River Area Food Shelf held a fundraiser recently called the Community Soup & Sweets event. The whole event was centered on the awesome soup choices made possible from our "Soup-er" donors. Our guests raved about every soup they chose.
Many guests chose the sampler platter so they could taste everyone's fare. Our guests commented that they would have to enjoy the soups again at the restaurants that donated the soup.
Many people chose Hungarian Mushroom because they already knew how fantastic it was from ordering it at Bites. I was told the Reuben Soup was just like having a Reuben sandwich without the bread. The Cottage Café was the creator of this hit.
Another well known and loved soup was Dark Cravings' Tomato Basil. Many chowder fans were very happy with the Sausage and Corn Chowder donated from Jr.'s No. 19. Ole & Lena's chef's creation of Vegetable Beef Soup was just heaped in the middle.
Thankfully, 371 Station sponsored the purchase of some paper products and utensils. The Pine River Bakery shared their fantastic brownies, which helped fill our sweets table. Many guests left with soup to-go. The Family Market provided containers for these orders.
Every Friday night, our Pine River American Legion has a supper with the most scrumptious rolls; they donated a case of these rolls to our event. The Warehouse was the perfect location and space to hold the event. We thank the Riverview Church for donating the use of it.
Our deepest bow and humblest thanks go out to the wonderful people who took the time out of their busy day to support our mission by dropping in for lunch. It was an awesome and wonderful event because so many volunteers brainstormed what-ifs, baked bars, decorated, set up and tore down, served soups, pushed raffle tickets and marketed.
They all worked to make a simple idea a reality.
The beautiful quilts were the artwork of Janice Stephan Weaver and Bev Wignes. Other raffle gifts were collected and donated by Pine River-Backus board members and food shelf volunteers. Linda Rasinski, president of the PR-B Family Center board of directors, recruited and paid for the entertainment by Lauren.
The Soup & Sweets fundraiser was only a success because of the generous support of the businesses and the servitude hearts of the Pine River-Backus people. For whatever part you played, our sincerest gratitude goes out to you.
Hunger is a real issue in too many homes in our community, and your caring is making a real difference in this fight to feed the hungry.
(Kathy Stephan is on the advisory board for the Pine River Area Food Shelf and treasurer of the board of directors for the PR-B Family Center that oversees the agency.)

Re: Quick Question
Tallulah , there is no reason why more bacteria would for in the fridge as long as your fridge is at the correct temperature.
I would have thought that there is more of a chance of contaminating the fish if it is hot water and also it would probably wash away a cirtain amount of the flavour as the fish you would be trying to thaw would have been gutted or portioed out.
I am not disputing that putting fish i water is not a quicker way to thaw fish , but to me its not the safest method.
I live in a cooler climate and I would thaw the fish n the fridge.

Re: Quick Question
Safety is all about time in the danger zone 4�C and 60�C (40�F - 140�F). Large pieces of meat or protein can take a very long time to defrost even when in water. More than 4 hrs(total) in the danger zone is recommended against. Remember that all time since the animal was killed until it was frozen that it spends in the danger zone is added into that 4 hrs. Generally Frozen fish is something you have to worry about the least as most ships process and freeze at sea as the ships are fishing. Most fish you buy frozen spends little time in the danger zone from catch to being frozen.
A small piece of fish will thaw very quickly under running water , and as pakman said you can keep it in a plastic bag while doing this.
Unless you are talking about a very large whole fish, 2 or 3 kilo salmon for instance , defrosting under cold running water won't cause any problems with a few caveats.
The kitchen sink is one of the most dirty places in the home, lots of nasty bacteria near the drain . I will make sure to do a thorough cleaning of the sink before defrosting this way. I use this method for frozen shrimp all the time btw. I just set them in a colander in the sink and use the sprayer setting on the facet and run cold water over them until they are thawed.

Re: Quick Question
Newbie here...
According to the gurus, the best and safest way to defrost is in a bowl or bucket of ice water. Clearly, if the food is in a sealed bag, there is no problem with this method, but we find that fish, for example, unbagged need to be gently squeezed before cooking as they take up a lot of superficial water. We defrosted a duck overnight yesterday, but I used a freezer bag and sealed it before dunking.
The theory is that no part of the food will get above around zero. Yet the thermal conductivity of the cold water is so much higher than air (the ambience of a simple fridge defrosting) so the process is that much quicker. Leaving outside the fridge in kitchen air is asking for bacterial trouble.
Our Microwave has a Chaos-Defrost setting, but we have hardly ever used it as we don't really trust or understand it !
Much love from France.

Re: Quick Question
I usually end up finishing defrosting turkeys that way when I brine them.. The brine is in a large container with ice and the whole works is put in a cool place or alternately if you have the space in a fridge. We have a drinks fridge in our lower level kitchen(part of an in-law suite) which I strip down the shelves and place the pail into.

"Swift Boating" Guy Houston
Original post made by Hal Bailey, another community, on May 21, 2008
We are seeing the most disgusting form of "Swift Boating" in the defamation of Guy Houston as a District 3 Supervisor Candidate. Aggregated politics in Contra Costa County is attempting to protect a Board of Supervisors that is serving special interests and abusing communities and neighborhoods.
The mailings and website accesses being provided are presenting distortions and indictments that do not have any basis in fact about the services of Guy Houston within his commercial activities, as an assembly member, or as the former Mayor of Dublin.
www.truthaboutguyhouston.com is a regional political smear campaign to distract voters from fair evaluation of all three candidates for District 3 Supervisor. Such "Swift Boating" simply wants you to ignore the performance of the current Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and accept the abuses that group has delivered during the past 3+ years.
Vote your choice but be sure you have fully and fairly evaluated each candidate.

Houston is all about Houston. A real piece of work-and you think he cares at all about Alamo? Don't be fooled. Figure it out before he uses beautiful Alamo as a tiny stepping stone for HIS next career jump.
He burns everyone in his path. Think Alamo is different for some reason?
The good news is, he doesn't stand a chance. This is the end of his political career. Game over.

Thank you, Ron and Infores(t), for lowering yourselves to the occasion (Oh, PUNish me!). We are laughing at your excellent sardonics.
If one compares any current supervisor to Guy Houston and expects not to find the most ugly form of politics currently in office in Martinez, then one has not looked at reality. The current supervisors have taken "self-service" to a new level!

Dear Infores(t) and neighbors,
I think Gayle Bishop is a better choice and that is why I voted for her.
But I can think of many better choices. I would have preferred Joan Buchanan run for supervisor. I would support Karen McPherson as an excellent choice. I would appreciate the opportunity to vote for other than a Republican after all the national ugliness of that party.
The point being that our choice should not be made based on the ugliness of Karl Rove-styled campaigning. We should fairly review the available candidates and vote based on in-depth study references.
So to say something nice about the candidates on the ballot. I like Ms. Piepho's new hair style and have always celebrated her abillity to write very well. I like Guy's handshake, willingness to talk, and followthrough on issues important to individual neighbors and their neighborhoods.
But what the HAL

Dear neighbors,
I celebrate Steve Mick for his exceptional service to our region. I further celebrate Steve's right to his opinion of his family friend, as our current supervisor, as follows:
Re-elect Piepho
When you have an elected public servant who is willing to make tough decisions, you have a person of high integrity.
When you have an elected public servant who is willing to make tough decisions in an election year, you have a person of courage.
When you have an elected public servant who is willing to make tough decisions in an election year close to the election, you have Mary Piepho.
Everyone knows that Contra Costa County is in dire financial straits and we all know how it got that way. Now, more than ever, we need an experienced person on the Board of Supervisors. Piepho has constantly demonstrated that she is willing to make difficult choices and stand by them.
Through her efforts and those of other board members, the county's financial situation has shown significant improvement. Certainly much still needs to be done. In these financially difficult times, we should stay the course and re-elect Piepho.
Steve Mick
(end of cctimes LTTR, 22-May-08)
At issue is the reality that our current supervisor has only served her own interests, positions and supporters at the expense of our communities throughout Contra Costa County District 3. Yes, these are financially difficult times that do not warrant our supervisors nearly doubling the salary without voter review. Yes, these are financially difficult times that a grand jury recognizes as a failure of the supervisors to address.
Re-electing our current supervisor is an ugly decision. Consider it carefully.

I am sure, like me, that you are wishing that you had a candidate that would stand four square, look you in the eye, and be on your side. Well, my friends, I say that I am that candidate with a keen eye for looking out for America, Plymouth Rock and the Golden Rule.
Now all you good people know that any fool can run for office, parading around with slick slogans and swell ideas, and telling each and every one of you just what you like to hear. It's not enough that it might not be true and more likely to be empty as a cistern on Saturday night.
The next thing you know they will want to build a pool hall and trap your sons and daughters in a life that is the devil's workshop. Well, that is trouble my friends and I am here to help. I am Abner Melody and I want to be your next supervisor.

Overview of This Guide
Part 1 of this guide describes the common practices of the eight charter authorizers profiled here. Although these authorizers represent very different kinds of entities, they all share several fundamental characteristics, including strong internal capacity, a rigorous process for selecting which schools to authorize, transparent oversight policies, and willingness to make hard decisions. The details of how they implement these processes differ from office to office, but all are focused on constant improvement in the service of expanding education options for students.
In particular, this guide describes how effective authorizers:
- Build a strong organization by recruiting and retaining qualified staff members and using external resources strategically.
- Develop a strong talent pool, including seeking strong applicants that are aligned with the authorizer's mission.
- Select for quality by employing a variety of evaluation methods to assess applicants' capacity, requiring strong evidence of community support, and engaging in responsible risk-taking.
- Support new school operators by assisting schools in developing meaningful measures of student performance and supporting schools during the incubation and planning period.
- Provide meaningful and transparent oversight by using information and technology to streamline compliance, using site visits strategically, and approaching oversight with a sense of purpose and respect for schools' autonomy.
- Hold schools accountable for meeting performance goals, including intervening early as problems arise and closing or renewing schools based on solid evidence.
All of the activities and processes described in Part I are important elements of effective charter authorizing. But the quality of what charter authorizers can accomplish is dependent not only on what the authorizers do—the set of practices described in this guide that authorizers must undertake well in order to be successful—but also is dependent on the broader policy environment in which authorizers operate. Accordingly, Part II of this guide describes the kinds of policy factors that can either support or hinder quality charter authorizing practices.
The policy issues that affect each entity's ability to authorize high-quality charter schools include:
- Level and type of external accountability;
- Level of operational autonomy;
- Vulnerability to political change;
- Limits on charter school growth; and
- Level and type of funding.
As interviews with the authorizers profiled in this guide revealed with clarity, each authorizer operates in a unique environment that has its own set of challenges and opportunities. The strength of many of these offices is that they are able to operate effectively—and to find opportunity—in spite of the policy constraints (such as legal restrictions on the number of charter schools) that could easily limit their effectiveness.
Part III of this guide offers profiles of each of the eight authorizers that are highlighted throughout Parts I and II. The profiles cover the history of each of these authorizers and provide more detail on the contexts in which they operate.
Table 1. Selected Variables of Profiled Authorizers and Their Schools (Data collected as of 2005-06 school year unless otherwise noted)
