This year, Hawaii Montessori Schools will be helping save lives from cancer by taking part in the American Cancer Society Relay For Life at the Old Airport in Kailua-Kona on Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, June 27, 2010. We are hoping you will support us.
The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is a life-changing event that gives people in communities across the globe a chance to celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease. At the Relay For Life, teams of people camp out at a local high school, park, or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event. Because cancer never sleeps, Relays are overnight events up to 24 hours in length.
In addition to helping people celebrate, remember, and fight back, Relay For Life also helps raise much-needed funds and awareness to help the American Cancer Society save lives from cancer.
Please support Hawai'i Montessori Schools in our efforts by clicking on the following link to to make a secure, tax-deductible online donation.
Every donation really does make a difference. I know that times are tighter than normal for many of us, but any amount you can give truly
can help save lives.
You see, thanks to your support, the American Cancer Society can:
Each of us has our own reasons for caring about the fight against cancer; whatever your reasons, we hope you'll choose to make a difference by making a donation online to support our efforts. Together we can save lives.

Early Reading and Montessori Education
Presented by Lillian Kroenke
We know that modern brain research has validated the accuracy of many of Dr. Montessori's observations of the young child from birth to six. Now we are learning that research has identified additional capabilities. How does this fit with Montessori practice. Montessorians are committed to following the child and providing programs that support the child's potential development. I will present and review a current program, Your Baby Can Read!® , created by an educator and scientist, which seems to fit the bill.
Infant Toddler Cognition and Brain Development
Presented by Bill Kroenke
Current brain research on young infants relies on advanced testing protocols to study their response to external stimuli. I will review the latest brain research with emphasis on the ability of infants to have a sense of numbers and to answer the question as to whether there is a sensitive period for numbers analogous to the sensitive periods for language and music development. I will relate Montessori education to the latest concepts resulting from what is currently known about infant's cognitive abilities. Finally, I will show once again that Dr. Montessori was well ahead of her time and briefly touch on the implication of the current brain research to future Montessori programs.
The Registration Fee of $15.00 includes lunch.

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is surprised by talk of relegation.
Lambert brushed aside comments from BBC pundit Robbie Savage that Villa will be relegated this season.
He joked that he had seen Savage on a dancing programme but dismissed his prediction, despite the stir it had caused among Villa supporters on the eve of the new season.
"It's a strange thing for him to say," said the Villa boss, "He admitted never having seen the new signings play. I've seen them. I know what they can do.
"Ron Vlaar must be all right if he can get into the Dutch side that was at the European Championship. Karim El Ahmadi is a really good player. I've got no problems with them whatsoever.
"He's entitled to his opinion. But if you are going to make a viable comment, you really need to have seen them play first."

The Raid
In the estuary of the River Fal a spendid ship, on the building of which the most cunning
engineers had been employed and no money spared, rode proudly at anchor just off
Smithick under the very shadow of the heights crowned by the fine house of Arwenack.
She was fitting out for a distant vovage and for days the work of bringing stores and
munitions aboard had been in progress, so that there was an unwonted bustle about the
little forge and the huddle of cottages that went to make up the fishing village, as if in
earnest of the great traffic that in future days was to be seen about that spot. For Sir John
Killigrew seemed at last to be on the eve of prevailing and of laying there the foundations
of the fine port of his dreams.
To this state of things his friendship with Master Lionel Tressilian had contributed not a
little. The opposition made to his project by Sir Oliver--and supported, largely at Sir
Oliver's suggestion, by Truro and Helston--had been entirely withdrawn by Lionel; more,
indeed Lionel had actually gone so far in the opposite direction as to support Sir John in
his representations to Parliament and the Queen. It followed naturally enough that just as
Sir Oliver's opposition of that cherished project had been the seed of the hostility between
Arwenack and Penarrow, so Lionel's support of it became the root of the staunch
friendship that sprang up between himself and Sir John.
What Lionel lacked of his brother's keen intelligence he made up for in cunning. He
realized that although at some future time it was possible that Helston and Truro and the
Tressilian property there might come to suffer as a consequence of the development of a
port so much more advantageously situated, yet that could not be in his own lifetime; and
meanwhile he must earn in return Sir John's support for his suit of Rosamund Godolphin
and thus find the Godolphin estates merged with his own. This certain immediate gain
was to Master Lionel well worth the other future possible loss.
It must not, however, be supposed that Lionel's courtship had thenceforward run a
smooth and easy course. The mistress of Godolphin Court showed him no favour and it
was mainly that she might abstract herself from the importunities of his suit that she had
sought and obtained Sir John Killigrew's permission to accompany the latter's sister to
France when she went there with her husband, who was appointed English ambassador to
the Louvre. Sir John's authority as her guardian had come into force with the decease of
her brother.
Master Lionel moped awhile in her absence; but cheered by Sir John's assurance that in
the end he should prevail, he quitted Cornwall in his turn and went forth to see the world.
He spent some time in London about the Court, where, however, he seems to have
prospered little, and then he crossed to France to pay his devoirs to the lady of his
His constancy, the humility with which he made his suit, the obvious intensity of his
devotion, began at last to wear away that gentlewoman's opposition, as dripping water
wears away a stone. Yet she could not bring herself to forget that he was Sir Oliver's

Last Battle of the Civil War
Wednesday, July 31, 2013
LAST BATTLE OF THE CIVIL WAR: An eddy in the on-going discussion of Whatcom County land-use planning and zoning—and of Lake Whatcom in particular—a state growth board last week dismissed the challenge of foresters opposed to the transfer of 8,844 acres of state forestland on either flank of the reservoir to county management as a low-impact park. The challenge is perhaps the final hurdle facing the Lake Whatcom Reconveyance, an exchange contemplated since at least 2005.
Earlier in July, the state Board of Natural Resources approved the transfer of consolidated state forest trust lands by a vote of 5 to 1. The governing board of the Dept. of Natural Resources responded to the resolution of Whatcom County Council earlier this year, requesting the return of forestland deeded to the state in the early 20th century after the forests had been logged and abandoned by their private owners. State statute allows counties to request a return—a "reconveyance"—of these lands, but only for use as a park. Lands around Lake Whatcom hold mature forests the state was ready to log; the transfer helped consolidate parcels that DNR may now proceed to log, while holding in place timber on steep, unstable slopes in the reservoir.
Foresters challenged the action to the state Growth Management Hearings Board, claiming that the loss of agricultural forestry acres jeopardized their industry and violated state provisions to protect resource lands.
The effect of the county's resolution is to "prohibit what was once permitted, [which] changes the character of the property in contradiction to its current zoning, and is in direct contradiction with stated planning goals adopted in the Whatcom County Comprehensive Plan," Tom Westergreen, log manager for the Great Western Lumber Company of Everson, argued in a brief to the hearings board.
Yet the GMHB found county zoning clearly allows park uses within its commercial forestry districts. The regulations allow trails and trailheads, as well as (surprise!) watershed management projects and creation of a forest preserves as permitted uses throughout lands zoned CF.
"The fact is that there are uses allowed in the CF zone that allow what is contemplated, just like the other county parks that are in the CF zone. Small parking lots, trails and a forest," former Whatcom County Planning Director David Stalheim observed. When he was director of Planning and Development Services, Stalheim filed an opinion that a park-like preserve is permitted in commercial forestry districts; by corollary, the lands should permit a preserve-like park.
"A challenge to the land uses allowed in the commercial forestry district would be untimely as the county's development regulations were adopted and not appealed years ago," the hearing board agreed. The complaint should have been made then, not years later as park uses proliferated in county forests.
The hearings board also found merit in the county's argument that the GMHB lacked jurisdiction to hear the argument because "a change in ownership is not a change in land use," board members noted, and the county had made no amendments to comprehensive plans or development regulations that might trigger review by the GMHB. The board agreed, and dismissed the case.
While the decision appears to resolve the issue of whether trees can remain standing on the shores of a drinking water reservoir for 90,000 people, and is perhaps the last battle of the Reconveyance civil war, the complaint of foresters is essentially the flip-side of complaints about the county's proposed ordinance to allow slaughterhouses throughout the Ag zone—the slow creep of uses that are not central to, and perhaps in conflict with, the original purpose of the land use protection.
"My complaint was that the county did not go through the process necessary to de-designate and rezone the land from CF to a use that allows park land," Jack Petree explained. A forestry industry consultant, Petree was one of the petitioners to the failed GMHB challenge. "The county has no intention of a rezone now… it got away with it."
Through similar sleight-of-hand the county has created dozens of non-farm uses throughout its agricultural zone—everything from "family day care homes," "adult family homes," "mental health facilities that provide residential treatment," and "substance abuse facilities" as permitted uses. Accessory uses include "bed and breakfast establishments" and "mini-day care homes." The county proposes slaughterhouses as compatible with agriculture, but is silent on whether slaughterhouses are compatible with day care centers, which are also permitted in the Ag zone.
As we've noted before, the inability of loggers to get at those final stands around Lake Whatcom is hardly the most fatal ailment of the dying timber industry; likewise, permitting accessory slaughterhouses is likely not the most fatal ailment of a dying farm industry in Whatcom County. Both industries suffer the wounds of a thousand cuts.
What a shame the timber beasts weren't arguing for resource protection and the merits of GMA at every step as thousands of forested acres were being stripped and converted to other uses. What a shame they're fighting for 8,000 acres when 100 times that timber acreage was lost statewide between 1978 and 2001, mostly to suburban and rural development, according to DNR. What a shame they're not standing up as similar conversions threaten to destroy the ag industry.
Ironically, the same county folks snarling about the Reconveyance are cheering for slaughterhouses, so embroiled in a "hippie-punching" culture war they're unable to see that the issues are of similar currency.

Here's one of the major players in the messaging board, and indeed one of the strongest alternatives if your current service is about to expire. Of course, you'll have to win your friends over. WeChat is backed by Tencent, which is one of the largest Internet providers worldwide.
Along any usual multiplatform messaging features as texts, images and videos over your data plan or wifi, WeChat allows voice messages and voice and video calls. In addition, there are a zillion animated smileys available, and a fun walkie-talkie mode, which might be useful under certain circumstances. Supports all usual languages and Facebook Connect option.
Therefore, WeChat may be your best alternative. However, how will you bring your friends is another kettle of fish, though perhaps it's time to ponder the benefits of having more than one messaging app installed at once.

This is from Life Site News.
A former senior adviser to President Obama has confirmed what his most strident critics have said all along: Barack Obama lied to the American people about opposing gay "marriage" to boost his chances of winning the 2008 presidential elections.
David Axelrod, a veteran of Chicago left-wing politics who advised Obama during the campaign, makes the admission in a new book Believer: My Forty Years in Politics, which hits book shelves today.
Obama first indicated his support for redefining marriage while running for state office in Illinois in 1996, filling out a questionnaire that said, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages."
Candidate Obama wanted to publicly broadcast his views during his campaigns for national office but was afraid the position – then radically unpopular – would end his chances of becoming president. Axelrod writes that campaign manager Jim Messina warned Obama that backing same-sex "marriage" could cost him the electoral votes of North Carolina.
Instead, both he and Hillary Clinton said they held to the traditional definition of marriage, although they supported "civil unions" for homosexuals.
During a 2008 debate, Obama told Saddleback Church megapastor Rick Warren, "I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God's in the mix."
But Axelrod reveals in his new book that, after proclaiming his support for marriage at one campaign event, Obama dismissed his rhetoric as nothing more than a bout of "bullsh—ing."
Axelrod said that the candidate agreed to conceal his views, but "Obama never felt comfortable with his compromise and, no doubt, compromised position. He routinely stumbled over the question when it came up in debates or interviews."
When others asked about Obama's 1996 campaign statement, his supporters played it off as a campaign snafu. White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in 2011, "That questionnaire was actually filled out by someone else."
As a candidate, he walked a thin line, stating his support for traditional marriage – but opposing any efforts that would legally codify that belief and backing government policies that would grant greater acceptance (and benefits) to homosexuals. In 2008, he dismissed opposition to homosexuality as based on "an obscure passage in Romans."
Obama did, in fact, carry North Carolina in 2008 on his way to the White House, where he chose to bide his time until he could come out in favor of gay "marriage."
I can remember like yesterday talking to two black Christians in the parking lot outside my office after work about Obama, just before the 2008 elections. Both of them went to church, and both claimed to be evangelical Christians. One in particular loved the writing of Alistair Begg and read lots of Reformed theology. I asked them who they were voting for, and they said "we are voting for Obama". I told them both about his votes on the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois (he voted in favor of infanticide multiple times), his 1996 position in support of gay marriage, his support for cap and trade carbon taxes, his weak stance on national security, and more. I told them that if we ever hoped to repeal Roe v. Wade, that we could not elect this man President. I told him he would pick two pro-abortion Supreme Court judges, at least (and he already has picked two, and will get more in all likelihood). They told me I was wrong about everything and that Obama was pro-life, pro-marriage and really tough on Islamic terrorism.
I also spoke to a black Christian woman in my office. She loved to read books on Bible Study and theology so that she could teach in the church. She even knew some basic apologists, something that the two black guys did not know. She was a much more avid reader than the two guys, who seemed to be more focused on sports, movies and music. She also voted for Obama. I remember her saying she would vote for him, and I could not believe my ears. She was very strong on being pro-life and pro-marriage.
I was one of the 5 percent who did not vote for Obama in 2008, despite having dark skin just like my 3 co-workers who voted for him. Those conversations with those three people will stay with me till the day I die. I don't think I have ever really understand how much people could suppress evidence in order to keep their beliefs before, until I spoke to those people. When I asked them if they were conservative Christians, they told me that they were. I went to a barbecue at one of their houses and saw bookshelves filled with Christian books. And yet they voted for a radical on abortion and a supporter of gay marriage, even when I told them about Obama's voting record.
Skin color doesn't matter to me when I am picking a candidate, but to some people it mattered more than facts.

Pricing Tricks You Can't Resist
Kids want five pennies rather than one nickel because five is more than one and research suggests that we don't outgrow that mentality as we age. Check it out.
Researchers at Virginia Tech say that there are pricing tricks that retailers use to get us to buy more than we need and we have no way to stop it.
Our brains respond more to a sale that says "50 items for just $29″ rather than "$29 for 50 items" because we see a large quantity first and it's almost twice the items than the price and it's difficult for us to resist.
The University of Michigan found that when products such as car batteries are advertised, we prefer to hear sales points like battery life told in minutes. Rather than "two hours of battery life" we want to hear "120 minutes of battery life" because it's a big number and we like that, even though we really should know better.
We really should.

When you ask people for their ideas about preserving Minnesota water quality, you get everything from an app that provides river information as you canoe along to a plan for using water twice before sending it down the line.
From a proposal to use retired farmers as a resource for improving river water quality to a call for "splash" mobs to get quick-hit volunteer work done.
Those ideas are among 20 semifinalists in the Minnesota Idea Open Water Challenge, which will award $15,000 to a final winner.
We wrote about the challenge a month ago as its deadline for entry neared. The water challenge is the second such idea open sponsored by the Minnesota Community Foundation.
Check out the semifinalists here.
The 20 will be trimmed to three finalists, and polls open Aug. 23 for anybody to vote on them either online or at the Minnesota State Fair.

NAESP, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Education, held its annual National Distinguished Principals program last Thursday and Friday and it was a great success. Sixty-one outstanding elementary and middle school principals from schools across the nation and abroad were honored at the Capitol Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
During the program, principals described how receiving the award has positively impacted them in their communities. It was such a treat to hear them discuss their commitment to their schools and communities and it's great for them to receive the recognition they deserve. Several principals were interviewed during the program by their local TV news affiliates and many others have been featured in their local newspapers. (Some of the articles can be read on the NAESP Web site at http://www.naesp.org/ContentLoad.do?contentId=1724.)
A black-tie awards banquet on Friday capped the two-day event. Gail Connelly, NAESP's executive director, and Ray Simon, the deputy secretary for the Department of Education, thanked the principals for their tremendous dedication to their schools and communities. Congrats to the 2007 Class of National Distinguished Principals. Simply the best!

The Ever-Amazing Reb Elimelech (Part XIV)
As has been noted in a previous column, Reb Elimelech – like the Baal Shem Tov before him – asserted that pessimism and depression cause sin and spiritual apathy. Repentance (yes, even repentance!) that causes depression and sadness distances the Holy Presence.
We Are All Children Of One Creator
It was the mid '60s and I was living with my mother and brother in public housing on Manhattan's Lower East Side. We moved there from Brooklyn a decade earlier to be near my mother's family when my father died suddenly of a stroke.
Screening Our Calls
As I sit at my home computer typing these words, virtual gale-force winds are blowing through my apartment, filling it with fresh – and free – air. This has not always been the case. In fact the electric bill for the past two months was astronomical, due in large part to our high usage of air conditioning virtually around the clock.
The Highchair
Yael was tired of sticking the highchair together with glue or Sellotape. It had lasted through five children, a miracle in itself, but now it seemed to have given up all hope – and decided to self-destruct.
Completing His Father's Journey
The call to Abraham, with which Parshat Lech Lecha begins, seems to come from nowhere: "Leave your land, your birthplace, and your father's house, and go to a land that I will show you."
The Objective Basis For Morality
Is there such a thing as an objective basis of morality? For some time, in secular circles, the idea has seemed absurd. Morality is what we choose it to be. We are free to do what we like so long as we don't harm others. Moral judgments are not truths but choices. There is no way of getting from "is" to "ought," from description to prescription, from facts to values, from science to ethics. This was the received wisdom in philosophy for a century after Nietzsche had argued for the abandonment of morality – which he saw as the product of Judaism – in favor of the "will to power."
Making Amends
Where I now work, there is a small kitchen where workers can have lunch. We take our lunch breaks at different times, and I usually take mine at the same time as an unassuming young man named Benny Green, a 25-year-old who works in the company's stockroom.
Reb Elimelech's Ascent To Leadership (Part XIII)
In 1648 and 1649 Bogdan Chmelnitzky and his hordes of Cossack warriors perpetrated an annihilation campaign against the Jews of Poland and the Ukraine....
How Shall We Live?
It is the most famous, majestic and influential opening of any book in literature: "In the beginning, G-d created the heavens and the earth." What is surpassingly strange is the way Rashi – most beloved of all Jewish commentators – begins his commentary:
Our Gains, The Enemies' Losses
Some 30 years ago a certain well-known rabbi in Manhattan came to Israel and brought much of his congregation with him, to a barren ridge where our forefathers and foremothers traveled to and from Jerusalem and Hebron. The rabbi and his followers left the ravages of assimilation and headed to the unknown. The rabbi swiftly gathered in Jews from all over the world and all over Israel to the cozy town of Efrat.
Tishrei Memories
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur have come and gone. It is time to return my beloved Machzor to the bookshelf. Gifted to me by my beloved parents, of blessed memory, for my bat mitzvah, it is one of my most precious possessions.
The Upsherin
Have you ever been to an upsherin, a hair-cutting ceremony? I had never been to one until I was invited by my gentleman friend, Sy, to attend one in honor of his great-grandson, Gabriel, given by his grandparents, Steve and Robin Kerzer. Even Sy, an Orthodox Jew, had not heard of it. Both of us knew it was the custom not to cut a boy's hair until he was three years old, but we had no idea what was involved.
All's Well That Ends Well
On August 29, 2011, I took my three kids to a New York Mets baseball game and was sitting in the front row. During the last inning, my 12-year-old son Eliezer was hit in the face by a line drive (the clip is on YouTube, "Baseball hits boy, Mets-Marlins"). He was rushed to the hospital and received eight stitches; he was discharged the next day.
'I Inspire Myself'
We first met Shlomie (name and some details have been changed) over 20 years ago. He davens in our shul, and he and my husband share a love of photography. Over time, we got to know each other well.
Yom Kippur Thoughts
Yom Kipper, the Day of Atonement, is the supreme moment of Jewish time, a day of fasting and prayer, introspection and self-judgment. At no other time are we so sharply conscious of standing before God, of being known by Him. But it begins in the strangest of ways.
The Last Command
By now Moses had given 612 commands to the Israelites. But there was one further instruction he still had to give, the last of his life, the final mitzvah in the Torah: "Now therefore write this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be My witness against the people of Israel" (Deuteronomy 31: 19).
My Personal Shofar Blower
Rosh Hashanah memories take us to our shuls, homes and families. They remind us of promises made about how we would change our lives and rearrange our priorities. There may also be memories of the delicacies we ate when we were children – the chicken soup, gefilte fish and great desserts. And one sound, the sound of the shofar blasting away with its shrill notes of tekiah, shevarim... and finally the long, very last sound – the tekiah gedolah.
Reb Elimelech's Ascent To Leadership (Part XII)
Wandering from town to village, the Holy Brothers neglected their physical needs and were sustained by meager coins or scraps of food that were donated along the way.
The Master Conductor Of All Events
The incident occurred during The Three Weeks when work at my place of employment for the summer months came to a standstill. I was to meet with a couple of high school buddies of mine at the train shelter in Cedarhurst, from where we had planned to walk to the park.
Carrying Both Pain And Faith
Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, is a kind of clarion call, a summons to the Ten Days of Penitence that culminate in the Day of Atonement. The Torah calls it "the day when the horn is sounded," and its central event is the sounding of the shofar.

Having watched the team over two nights, here are my observations from those games.
Daryl Jones
Jones has speed to burn and is definitely one of the fastest players in the system. He has a playable arm for center or left but would be below average in right. He has electric speed but is he sound enough defensively to play center? At the plate, he appears impatient. Jones needs work on pitch recognition; he had lots of trouble with off speed pitches. His makeup is supposed to be off the charts.
I had not seen Jones since last year at the Quad Cities. He is definitely not the same lost soul at the plate that I witnessed in Davenport.
Jay is what you look for in a centerfielder; a leader, a take-charge kind of guy. His defense is unfairly overlooked; he has above average range with a solid centerfield arm. Puts himself and his teammates in good defensive position. At the plate, he has quick hands and excellent bat speed. Best described as a professional hitter.
The former Cornhusker doesn't get cheated at the plate. Possess a violent swing that does get long at times. Does pull the ball but will hit the ball the other way if the situation dictates. Below average speed but does not clog up the basepaths. Brown is an adequate first baseman with an average arm and the ability to dig the ball out of the dirt.
Good bat speed that he uses to supply above average power. Line drive hitter who can muscle up and take a pitcher deep. Craig has average speed on the bases along with good instincts that make him a solid base runner.
I am not totally sold on his ability to stay at third. Made a great reaction play to his left as he does move laterally very well. On hot shots right at him, he really struggles. His hands are average at best while his arm is average but playable.
Shorey is a grinder who doesn't overwhelm. Nothing flashy but he has 50 RBIs and is hitting .291. Pull conscious. I would like to see him work on going the other way more. Adequate fielder who won't make the dazzling play but won't embarrass himself either.
Martinez has always reminded me of Edgar Renteria. Both are good with runner in scoring position, similar body type, both are/were the number three. Really struggled early but seems to be turning things around. Good bat speed and the ability to use all fields. Surprising pop for a middle infielder. Average to below average speed on the base paths. Martinez has soft hands with a slightly above average arm that enables him to make the pivot on the double play.
Like Ottavino, this guy is huge. Big-shouldered country boy who would seem to be as comfortable on the farm as on the mound. Good velocity, hit 95 on the gun while working 90-91. Sinker has nice bite and comes in on right-handed hitters. On this night, Dew struggled with his command of the pitch. Needs to find consistency with his release point.
The first thing that strikes you when you see Ottavino is his size. The right-hander has a big, projectable frame that he could still add bulk to. Uses his size to get on top of the ball and pitch on a downward plane. Worked 90-91 but could dial it up when he needed to. Hit 95 several times and 96 once. Struggled with command of his breaking ball.
This year's P.J. Walters? Control pitcher who works his fastball in the 85 MPH range while occasionally dialing it up to 88. On this night, Mura had trouble spotting his breaking pitches but his curveball does show some promise. Changeup is his best pitch that was a swing-and-miss pitch to left-handers. Possesses a smooth, repeatable delivery.

San Luis Obispo County Treasurer-Tax Collector Frank Freitas has retired, effective Friday.
Freitas, 69, whose term expires in January 2015, gave no reason for his sudden departure other than to say that he is "looking forward to gaining more personal time."
He becomes the second elected county official this year to retire before filling out his term. County Auditor-Controller Gere Sibbach retired in September, although Sibbach said he would work through December. The Board of Supervisors named Jim Erb Sibbach's successor.
Freitas' salary was $156,000.
The Board of Supervisors will decide in upcoming weeks who will succeed Freitas.

The Leavenworth Case HTML version
27. Amy Belden
"A merrier man
Within the limits of becoming mirth,
I never spent an hour's talk withal."
--Love's Labour's Last.
I HAD a client in R---- by the name of Monell; and it was from him I had planned to
learn the best way of approaching Mrs. Belden. When, therefore, I was so fortunate as to
meet him, almost on my arrival, driving on the long road behind his famous trotter
Alfred, I regarded the encounter as a most auspicious beginning of a very doubtful
"Well, and how goes the day?" was his exclamation as, the first greetings passed, we
drove rapidly into town.
"Your part in it goes pretty smoothly," I returned; and thinking I could never hope to win
his attention to my own affairs till I had satisfied him in regard to his, I told him all I
could concerning the law-suit then pending; a subject so prolific of question and answer,
that we had driven twice round the town before he remembered he had a letter to post. As
it was an important one, admitting of no delay, we hasted at once to the post-office,
where he went in, leaving me outside to watch the rather meagre stream of goers and
comers who at that time of day make the post-office of a country town their place of
rendezvous. Among these, for some reason, I especially noted one middle-aged woman;
why, I cannot say; her appearance was anything but remarkable. And yet when she came
out, with two letters in her hand, one in a large and one in might be induced to give a bed
to a friend of mine who is very anxious to be near the post-office on account of a business
telegram he is expecting, and which when it comes will demand his immediate attention."
And Mr. Monell gave me a sly wink of his eye, little imagining how near the mark he had
"You need not say that. Tell her I have a peculiar dislike to sleeping in a public house,
and that you know of no one better fitted to accommodate me, for the short time I desire
to be in town, than herself."
"And what will be said of my hospitality in allowing you under these circumstances to
remain in any other house than my own?"
"I don't know; very hard things, no doubt; but I guess your hospitality can stand it."
"Well, if you persist, we will see what can be done." And driving up to a neat white
cottage of homely, but sufficiently attractive appearance, he stopped.
"This is her house," said he, jumping to the ground; "let's go in and see what we can do."

Bellville Times
One of, if not the oldest resident of Austin County, Hattie Ludwig Vornkahl, died Friday, July 27, 2007, in Colonial Belle Nursing Home. She was 105. Born December 14, 1901, in Peters Community, Austin County, Texas, before the first flight of the airplane by the Wright Brothers, she is the daughter of Joseph and Theresa Sonsel Ludwig. Vornkahl grew up and attended the Hacienda Schools in the Peters Community. She married Walter Vornkahl on August 3, 1921 and they made their home in Millheim until the late 1940s when they moved to Bellville. Hattie and Walter were members of the Bellville United Methodist Church. Together they owned and operated a cotton gin in Millheim. They also had a dairy and sold cream and butter. Walter preceded Hattie in death on January 25, 1966. Hattie has made her home at Colonial Belle for a number of years where both she and her daughter, Ruby, were active room mates. Ruby preceded Hattie in death on March 19, 2007. Hattie enjoyed visiting, watching television and her meal time. She is survived by her sister in law: Ora Dell Ludwig of Brenham; numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives and friends. She was also preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter and four sisters: Edna Fisher, Louella Frels, Lilly Balke and Laura Schubert; and one brother, Edwin Ludwig. Visitation was held Sunday, July 29, 2007 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Schmidt Funeral home. Services were conducted at 2 p.m., Monday, July 30, 2007 at Bellville United Methodist Church with the Rev. Robert Stutes officiating. Arrangements by Schmidt Funeral Homes.

Citation: Leclere, S.L., Schmelz, E.A., Chourey, P.S. 2008. Cell wall invertase-deficient miniaturel kernels have altered phytohormone levels. Phytochemistry. 69:692-699. Interpretive Summary: Despite the enormous agronomic importance of seed weight, very little is still known about genes that control this trait; in particular, the control of cell number and cell size in developing seeds – the ultimate determinants of crop productivity. Our past cooperative studies at the CMAVE, USDA ARS, SAA and the University of Florida have shown that the miniature1 (Mn1) gene in maize encodes a major enzyme that acts as a gatekeeper of sugars that enter developing seeds, and thus determine its sink size and sink strength. Here in this report, we show that the Mn1 gene also affects, directly or indirectly, the levels of a major plant hormone, an auxin, indole acetic acid (IAA), which is known to affect many basic processes of growth and development. Additionally, we show that the loss-of-function mutations at the Mn1 gene down-regulate a gene that is critical in the biosynthesis of IAA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a close linkage between genes of sugar and hormone biosynthesis in developing seeds. Further understanding of this interaction or crosstalk between these two distinct pathways is essential (work in progress) for fundamental understanding of seed development, an essential prerequisite for genetic manipulation towards increased crop productivity.
Technical Abstract: The Zea mays (maize) Mn1 (miniature1) locus encodes the cell wall invertase INCW2, which is localized predominantly in the basal endosperm transfer layer (BETL) of developing kernels and catalyzes conversion of sucrose into glucose and fructose. Mutations in Mn1 result in numerous changes that include a small kernel phenotype resulting from both decreased cell size and number. To explore the pleiotropic effects of this mutation, we investigated the levels of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and jasmonic acid (JA) in basal regions, upper regions, and embryos of developing kernels in the inbred line W22. We measured phytohormones from 6 to 28 days after pollination (DAP) in wild type (WT) and two alleles of mn1, mn1'1 and mn1'89. IAA was the predominant hormone in kernels, with WT levels of free IAA accumulating over time to more than 2 µg/g of fresh weight. Kernels of mn1'1 accumulated up to ten-fold less IAA than WT, and levels of IAA sugar conjugates were similarly reduced. Although less abundant, differences were also observed in levels of ABA, JA, and SA between WT and the mn1 alleles. SA levels were increased by as much as ten-fold in mn1'1, and mn1'89 displayed intermediate SA levels at most timepoints. These findings indicate that invertase-mediated sucrose cleavage directly or indirectly regulates the levels of key plant hormones during seed development.

|Nathan Horton adds to Bruins' lead in second period
|11.15.10 at 8:46 pm ET
Apologies for some technical difficulties making this a couple of minutes late…
The Bruins added to their lead in the second period, and it sure was a welcomed sight.
The Bruins had just two goals over their previous three home games at the Garden, and Nathan Horton, the team's top scorer, had zero points in his last four home games. That changed when he beat Martin Brodeur with a wrister 43 seconds into the second period. Horton has just one shot on goal in the game, but he's made it count.
Through two periods, Tim Thomas has saved all 14 shots he's seen. The Bruins are outshooting the Devils, 17-14.
|Nathan Horton left off fans' All Star ballot
|11.12.10 at 5:48 pm ET
Boston fans have taken a liking to Nathan Horton since he came to Boston, and he's returned the favor by leading the Bruins in both goals (seven) and points (13) through 13 games.
Yet if Horton wants to be in Carolina for the All-Star game this season, he can't count on the fans to get him there. The NHL announced the 100 players that will be on the fan ballot for this year's All-Star games, and though the Bruins had four representatives, Horton was not among them. Instead, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci will have a chance to be selected by the public. The fans, who could technically write Horton in, begin their balloting on Monday and can choose six players to send to Carolina.
Horton could obviously still be selected to represent the Eastern Conference, as the rest of the roster will be made up in a fantasy draft between team captains. The captains will choose to fill the remaining 36 roster spots from a group of players determined by a combination of the the fans' voting and the NHL hockey operations department.
|Bruins/Canadiens Preview, 11/11
|11.11.10 at 11:33 am ET
The Bruins likely have a ton of positive energy following a five-goal third period that propelled them to a 7-4 come-from-behind victory over the Penguins in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. They return home to face the Canadiens for the first time this season on Thursday.
UPDATE [6:04 p.m.]: It appears that Claude Julien said during his session with French-speaking reporters that Tuukka Rask will be in net for the B's.
Here's everything you need to know going in.
– The Bruins are a modest 2-2-1 as the home team this season (they were the home team in the season-opening 5-2 loss against the Coyotes in Prague).
The Habs are 5-2-0 on the road, with their most recent road loss coming last Tuesday, a 3-0 defeat at the hands of the Blue Jackets in Columbus.
– After scoring in the third period of the Bruins' victory in Pittsburgh on Wednesday night, Nathan Horton now has 149 career goals. He can go for No. 150 against the Habs on Thursday night in front of the home crowd.
– The Bruins have averaged 2.2 goals this season in the third period when entering the period trailing.
– The Canadiens have the worst power play in the league, scoring on just 7.8 percent of their power plays.
– The Bruins have had back-to-back games just twice this season. They are 1-0-1, beating the Coyotes on Oct. 10 in Prague and losing in a shootout to the Blues on Saturday.
– After playing a career-high 17:22 giants the Sabres last Wednesday, Tyler Seguin has played 12:21, 9:49, and 12:32 in three games since. He is averaging 13:06 of ice time each night, and after assisting Mark Recchi's goal, he has six points on the season (3 G, 3A). Seguin is on pace for a 21-goal, 21-assist campaign.
– While we're extrapolating stats, seven Bruins are on pace to score at least 20 goals this season: Horton, Milan Lucic, Michael Ryder, Zdeno Chara, Shawn Thornton (!), Jordan Caron, and Seguin. Remember, Marco Sturm was the only Bruin to score 20 last year, as he led the B's with 22.
– Former Boston College star and current Canadiens captain Brian Gionta has had a rough start to the season, but things are starting to look up. After having just three points through the team's first 12 games, Gionta has a goal and an assist over the last two games.
– Carey Price has been a rock in net for the Habs, softening the blow of just how good Jaroslav Halak has been (1.79 GAA, .932 save percentage). In 14 starts, Price has gone 8-5-1 with a 2.28 GAA and a .918 save percentage.
Price is coming off a shutout against the Canucks on Tuesday, but has allowed three goals in three of his last five starts, all three of which the Habs lost.
|What to expect without David Krejci in the Bruins lineup Wednesday
|11.09.10 at 2:50 pm ET
WILMINGTON ' With David Krejci still out because of a concussion that was suffered in overtime of the Bruins 2-1 shootout loss to the Blues on Saturday, the Bruins did some work with their power-play prior to the official start of practice Tuesday morning. They plan to have Nathan Horton fill in for the injured Krejci on the No. 1 power-play unit, assuming the left-side half-wall position.
'I think he's one of those guys that can take that step on the half wall and then shoot the puck very well,' coach Claude Julien said about the switch after practice. Julien also said he's been impressed with the improvements Blake Wheeler has made on the goal line position.
'So we thought that was for now the best way to kind of stabilize our power-play and hopefully keep it going in the right direction,' Julien said.
The lines otherwise remained the same in practice today as yesterday, with Patrice Bergeron centering the first line between Milan Lucic and Horton. Here's how the other lines were organized:
Mark Recchi-Blake Wheeler-Jordan Caron
Daniel Paille-Tyler Seguin-Michael Ryder
Brad Marchand-Gregory Campbell-Shawn Thornton
Julien says he feels confident with the line decisions that have been made for the game against the Penguins on Wednesday, but that he also won't be afraid to shuffle it up some more if it doesn't work. 'That's part of the situation that you're in at times,' Julien said. 'You have to be open minded about maybe moving some guys around.'
|Nathan Horton knows he needs to shoot more for Bruins
|11.06.10 at 5:43 pm ET
There isn't much that Nathan Horton hasn't brought to the Bruins since coming from the Panthers in June. Entering Saturday night's bout with the Blues, he leads the team in both goals (6) and points (11), and even treated the Garden crowd to a bout with Dion Phaneuf.
One statistic of his that is rather surprising is shots on goal. Considering that he's buried more shots than any of his teammates it's rather peculiar that he is not in the top five on his team in shots on goal, as Horton has put just 19 shots on net in 10 games this season. The good, of course, is that he has scored on nearly one third of his shots this season, while the bad is that the low shot total stands out in games in which he can't find his way onto the box score.
"I definitely need to take more shots," Horton admitted upon being told that 26 of 148 career goals have come on his only shot of the game. "The only way to score goals is to have more shots. It's definitely something that I need to get better at, and don't pass up an opportunity to score."
Horton said that he has been told as much throughout his career, and that Claude Julien is among those who has encouraged him to fire the puck as much as he can.
"I think that's one thing that I want to get better at in my game, is when the opportunity is there, to get a good opportunity to score," Horton said. "When you're doing too much, too fancy, you miss an opportunity to score."
|Nathan Horton not as advertised, much to the Bruins' delight
|10.28.10 at 11:46 pm ET
Nathan Horton has been soaking in each second of Boston and his new fanbase. His excitement to be in town has matched the Bruins' fans excitement to have a true goal-scoring threat. Horton proved he can do more than score on Thursday, as he dropped the gloves with Dion Phaneuf in the second period of the team's 2-0 win over the Leafs in front of a wild, sold-out TD Garden crowd. It was his first fight since the 2008 preseason.
"We kind of had a little battle going throughout the game up top, and [I figured I'd] maybe just try and put an end to it in the game," Horton said after the game.
The two players exchanged blows as they tumbled to the ice, but it was only Horton who picked up a 10 minute misconduct in addition to his fighting major. Claude Julien disagreed with the call.
"I still don't understand how he gets the 10 minutes," Julien said. "We all saw Phaneuf punched him when he was on the ground."
All in all, the fight served as yet another reminder positive reminder that the first-line winger, whose work ethic was called into question prior the June trade that send him to the Bruins, has not totally come as advertised. The former No. 3 overall pick received criticism for taking shifts off in his time as a Panther, but any traces of laziness and frustration are two characteristics he hasn't displayed in Boston.
"I'm trying," Horton said. "I want to show that I want to be here. I want to be a part of the team, and I want to have success here and be successful with my team. I can't say it enough. Every day that I come to the rink, it's been great."
|Bruins see improvement in Maple Leafs
|10.27.10 at 3:57 pm ET
The Bruins are preparing for their first match-up against the Toronto Maple Leafs Thursday night, in an always-anticipated clash of original six teams. In the 2009-10 season, the Maple Leafs were nothing special, finishing at the bottom of the Northeast Division with a 30-38-14 record. Now, eight games into 2010-11, it seems the Leafs have turned things around. Toronto won its first four starts, then dropped three games in a row before picking up a 3-1 victory over the Panthers Tuesday night. The Leafs' 5-2-1 record currently has them sitting atop the division standings.
'They're a good team, they're a young team,' Patrice Bergeron said after practice on Wednesday. 'Their players have developed into good players so I think that's why they're improved.'
Right wing Nathan Horton said he knows the Leafs have shown plenty of reasons for other teams to fear them thus far.
"Their defensemen are big, strong, physical, and their forwards are quick and fast,' Horton said, adding the Bruins will need to be prepared to work for 60 minutes on Thursday. Coach Claude Julien seemed to agree, noting that the B's are 'facing a team that's coming in with lots of confidence, lots of speed and lots of energy.'
Speaking of energy, it has seemed to be just that the B's have lacked early on in each of their losses this season. On Saturday, the Rangers put up a quick 2-0 lead on the Bruins in the first period, and the Bruins, despite getting goals from Zdeno Chara and Horton, were never quite able to make a full comeback.
'I think it's just about making sure we have a good first couple shifts and be good on the forecheck right away,' Bergeron said. 'If we get scored one goal against, we've got to make sure we keep our balance instead of just getting back over our heels for a couple shifts and letting them score another one.'

Great. Now, if Apple could just offer the anti-glare option for iMacs!
That is great news. The problem with these glare screens is that you have to turn the brightness way up (and the dark parts of the screen still act like a mirror): The ergonomic brightness ist just around 100 cd/m^2

I cant seem to find the next step in restoring my dell PC with windows xp and IE8 to factory original settings by using the method they recommend by dell , it starts with toggle F8 next high light repair my computer , that's it I do not say repair any where? am I doing something wrong?
How-To Geek Forums / Windows XP
can not restore my dell pc to factory settings(6 posts)
You have to hit F8 just as Windows is starting and just after the Bios Screen. Start from off and hit F8 several times during the start up process. You should get the Black Safe Mode screen. If Windows starts try, try again.
When booting, some older (XP) Dell's will have a blue bar across the top of the screen, it only appears for a second or two. If you press Control and F11 it will take you to the option of restoring to factory new state.
@Mods, why is this under Windows 8?
@ rhondas, I might be wrong, but I think there is "no repair my computer" option in windows xp. It would be helpful if you can give us the model of your Dell PC.
Have you ever changed out or wiped your hdd? If so you might not have your recovery image on D:\ partition.

text: If you read between the lines of the interview Grant Bowler did with the NY Daily News, you get the feeling that he hated every second of working with Lindsay Lohan. Of course this would assume she did actually work, which it sounds like she didn't. I don't think it is any shocker that the producers of Liz & Dick hated Lindsay as did the producers of Scary Movie 5. You know, when you are trying to get work, it is probably a good idea to not make everyone who can possibly hire you or offer you a job, hate you. It makes it very tough to get work. There are way too many people looking for work in the movies or on television to have to work with someone who is going to be a pain and is not that great of an actor to begin with. Anyway, Grant says that he grew up in a hard working family so he works hard at what he does and puts in hours and hours of labor. He said that Lindsay's approach is instinctive and that she just kind of shows up and expects everything to work out well.

Towards an automatic system for road lane marking extraction in large-scale aerial images acquired over rural areas by hierarchical image analysis and Gabor filter
Jin, Hang, Feng, Yanming, & Li, Maoxun (2012) Towards an automatic system for road lane marking extraction in large-scale aerial images acquired over rural areas by hierarchical image analysis and Gabor filter. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 33(9), pp. 2747-2769.
Accepted Version
An automatic approach to road lane marking extraction from high-resolution aerial images is proposed, which can automatically detect the road surfaces in rural areas based on hierarchical image analysis. The procedure is facilitated by the road centrelines obtained from low-resolution images. The lane markings are further extracted on the generated road surfaces with 2D Gabor filters. The proposed method is applied on the aerial images of the Bruce Highway around Gympie, Queensland. Evaluation of the generated road surfaces and lane markings using four representative test fields has validated the proposed method.

We were in the neighborhood, and in the mood for BBQ! Lucille's did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is huge and absolutely kid friendly. We arrived around 7 pm on a Sunday night and only had to wait 25 min for a table. It was very encouraging that there were so many people eating here! When we were seated, our server immediately brought us some warm biscuits with apple butter.
We devoured our biscuits as we looked through the menu. They have an extensive children's menu and even kid-sized versions of their desserts for only $1.50 each.
I really felt like eating BBQ chicken, so I opted for the BBQ chicken sandwich – two grilled chicken breasts topped with melted cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, fried onion straws and baby lettuce on a french roll. How can you go wrong? I'm always attracted to entrees where fried onions are added on top 🙂 In my eagerness to eat that delicious sandwich, I totally forgot to take a picture of it! But you can see a picture of it here on Lucille's website.
Patrick got the pulled pork sandwich, and really enjoyed it. He ordered a side of their southern braised greens, which we had to send back because they tasted fishy. Our server was very nice and brought us sweet potato fries instead! And although we were only going to order one kid dessert for Malia, it turned into three desserts! We initially ordered the kids banana pudding, but this ice cream sundae came out instead.
I don't think she minded 🙂 Then the banana pudding came out, and we decided to order a small portion of their bread pudding. I absolutely love bread pudding, and can't resist ordering it when I see it on a dessert menu. This is Lucille's version with peaches, pecans and a warm bourbon sauce.
Patrick really liked this bread pudding, I thought it was just okay. Same for the banana pudding. Maybe I was just to full at that point to enjoy them, but the flavors just didn't wow me. Overall though, I loved the atmosphere at the restaurant and I would definitely go back for more of their BBQ!
