CVUSD releases statement on firings, student walkouts
Coachella Valley Unified School District released a statement this afternoon regarding this week's firings of two principals and one vice-principal. The statement fails to mention today's news of West Shore High School's principal losing his job.
The statement reads:
In response to some inquiries this morning for some follow-up information from last night's Board meeting, please consider the following:
Board Action on 3-14-2013:
The Board of Trustees of the Coachella Valley Unified School District from time to time has difficult issues placed before them. They deliberate, discuss and make decisions based upon the best interest of the District's students, families and the District overall. Our sole mission continues to be the preparation of all students for College, Career and Citizenship. The Board took the following action last night regarding District administrators:
-The Board voted 7-0 to reassign Mecca Elementary Principal to Certificated Teacher
-The Board voted 6-1 to reassign Coachella Valley High School Principal to Certificated Teacher
-The Board voted 7-0 to reassign an Elementary Assistant Principal to Certificated Teacher
-The Board voted 7-0 to release from probationary employment a Desert Mirage Assistant Principal
-The Board accepted the resignation of the Desert Mirage High School Principal.
Student Concerns Regarding Discipline:
There are no plans to discipline students for the walkout on 3-14-2013. Although their actions were not sanctioned activities, we continue to support student voices but at the same time do not want student safety and/or education to be compromised. We encourage our students to work with school administration to develop other means to express their voices in the future.
The following message was provided by our automated calling system to student families via phone prior to yesterday's activities:
Ed-Connect Phone call to Parents:
"Good evening.
This is a message from Coachella Valley Unified School District. We want to inform you that there is talk about students protesting through walkouts this week. We are concerned about their safety and want to inform you that Compensatory Education requires that students be in school during school hours. If students are out due to truancies, protests etc. they could lose their student privileges and/or face disciplinary action. We ask that you please speak with your child about the possible consequences and help us avoid a dangerous situation."
UPDATE: CVUSD is saying that the principal at "another school" (they would not say which one) resigned on his own today. This conflicts with a report coming from the high school, saying the principal was fired. We will update you as this story develops.

This policy extends to senior citizens and junior supporters.The Club abides by the Football League Rules governing the allocation of tickets to visiting clubs.3. DISABLED POLICY Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club fully supports the principle of equal opportunities and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of disability.The Club recognises that not all of its facilities are fully accessible to disabled customers and confirms that it is committed to making the necessary reasonable adjustments described by the Disability Discrimination Act and its relevant codes of practice to ensure full compliance with the legislation.3.1 Definition Of Disability As a fundamental principle the Disability Discrimination Act states that disabled people should not be treated "less favourably, without justification" and "reasonable adjustments should be made to make goods, facilities and services accessible".Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club aim to comply with both the provisions and spirit of the Act.For the purposes of this policy only, the definition of a disabled supporter is:- "Any person who, because of their disability or impairment, is unable to use ordinary stand seating without contravening Health and Safety Regulations, Guidelines or Policy or where the club has provided a "reasonable adjustment" to enable that supporter to attend the venue. Any such person will be considered for use of the "designated areas" of the stadium in line with the procedures set out in this policy".A "designated area" is any area (including specific seats around the stadium) that the club shall, in its sole discretion determine as being available for the disabled ticket price. A person has a "disability" if he/she has a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on his/her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club reserves the right to request "proof of a disability" before issuing any concession.Such proof shall include:-Receipt of the middle or higher rate of the Disability Living Allowance (mobility or care component)Receipt of either the Severe Disablement Allowance or Attendance Allowance.

For this reason the club strongly recommend that a person is sixteen years of age or over and not be infirm.7 car parking spaces are allocated to disabled spectators.3.3 Facilities For Supporters With Ambulatory Disabilities The club recognise that there are considerable numbers of people in the community who use wheelchairs mainly for outdoor mobility purposes but are not necessarily confined to their wheelchair. There are also many people suffering severe walking difficulties who may wish to watch a match.For the purposes of this policy and the administration of the concessionary ticketing policy both categories of people will be termed ' ambulatory disabled supporters' and those supporters with ambulatory disabilities of a severe nature will qualify for the concessionary treatment and have access to seating nearest the entrances/exits.Eligibility to these areas will be dependent on providing proof of disability as described previously or will be decided on individual merit.3.4 Facilities For Supporters With Infirmities Supporters with physically restricting medical conditions can sometimes have difficulty in reaching seats in some parts of the stadium.The club are conscious that some elderly people suffering from an infirmity may have difficulty climbing large numbers of steps. Should their infirmity be so severe, they may be entitled to the concession offered for ambulatory disabled supporters.3.5 Facilities For Supporters With Learning Difficulties Supporters with learning difficulties can normally be accommodated in any part of the stadium in normal seating. However if for whatever reason any such supporter feels that ordinary seating would be unsuitable for them, they will be entitled to sit in the disabled concessionary areas and receive the appropriate concession. Tickets should be arranged in advance through the clubs ticket office.3.6 Disabled Other Match day catering for disabled people is provided in the kiosks located near to the wheelchair areas. The club stewards have been instructed to assist people getting refreshments if required.Any future redevelopment of the stadium will always be planned, taking into account the needs and requirements of the disabled.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Ft. Lauderdale, Fl. company: Armchem constantly advertises for outside sales positions.
Platitude of "you earn what you work for" statements. Owner is quick to jump on anyone with experience and invite them to meet with him. He explains that he will send sample materials to your residence for you to show to customers to gain sales.
He will even assign a co-worker to go out with you into the new territory for a few days. If, you are qualified in sales, particularily in industrial chemical products, then within three days, you are on your own.
After the first week, a paycheck arrived. During the second week on the job, the rep called in with his orders and was told by the receptionist that he was dismissed. He was told to return all of the samples, before he would receive a final paycheck.
The rep returned all of the materials. He never received his last paycheck. Upon calling the business, he tried to speak with the accountant, who was the "mother" of the owner. She never answered the calls, nor did she return them.
With calls to the owner, he never returned them. There was no further discussion. There was no final paycheck. There was no explanation.
The company never paid the rep for his second week on the job. The company, Armchem constantly advertises for new sales reps. Beware. Everyone needs a chance to survive. This company does not play professionally.
Seems that the owner takes the new accounts as fast as possible. Then, turns them into house accounts and fires the rep. What other reason would there be for him to constantly advertise on job sights for new sales people?

Pat Haden's Letter On Coliseum Lease Public Hearing
May 23, 2013
Click Here for Memorandum of Understanding
Dear Trojan Athletic Family:
When thinking of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, it immediately triggers my earliest memories of attending USC football games as a ten-year-old boy with my father. Although watching from afar, the connection made to this venerable stadium was close and impactful and has carried with me my entire life. I'm sure each of you has your own personal connection to the Coliseum, or perhaps the Sports Arena, or Exposition Park. More broadly, our entire country has connected with this national landmark as the host of two Olympic Games, the World Series, the Super Bowl, and, of course, to a prominent chapter of collegiate football history as the home of the USC Trojans.
As many of you have followed recently in the media, USC and the Coliseum Commission finalized a lease agreement that will permit USC to operate the Coliseum and Sports Arena on a day-to-day basis and make meaningful improvements to the Coliseum to ensure that this national treasure is maintained and enhanced for the benefit of all Angelenos.
The Coliseum Commission does not own the parking lots in Exposition Park so, before the lease could be finalized, USC had to negotiate a parking agreement with the State of California to ensure that the Coliseum and Sports Arena would be provided with adequate parking for events. Over the past year, USC met with representatives of the State, the California Science Center Board, and all of the Exposition Park entities to structure a parking agreement. These collaborative conversations and negotiations were formalized in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between USC and the State, which we believe adequately addresses all of the stakeholders' needs to ensure that every park entity, including the Coliseum and Sports Arena, can be successful.
The State is holding public hearings to gather feedback on the MOU. Please familiarize yourself with the MOU and consider attending a public hearing to speak in support of the transaction. The meetings will be held as follows:
Thursday, May 30th at 6:00 pm at the California African American Museum
Saturday, June 1st at 10:00 am at the California Science Center
Wednesday, June 5th at 9:00 am at the California Science Center Board Room
If you are interested in attending and speaking in support of this agreement, please contact David Galaviz for more information at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you'd prefer to send your comments by e-mail, please direct your email to email@example.com. For letters, please send them to: Ms. Fabian R. Wesson, Chairperson, California Science Center Board of Directors, c/o USC University Relations, 3551 Trousdale Parkway, ADM 260, Los Angeles, CA 90089-0018.
This historic agreement will ensure that generations of Angelenos can share and create their own special collection of memories at the Coliseum, not just at USC football games but through the many special cultural and community events that will continue to be held at the Coliseum for years to come. Our athletic department is committed to improving the overall fan experience for all events through an array of capital and service improvements. These public hearings and your support of USC in this endeavor is the first step in making this happen. We look forward to seeing you.
Fight On!
Patrick C. Haden
USC Director of Athletics

Also coming soon: UAS Foundation Course (March) and an Advanced Course (April). Best I can tell the first course was on sale for $200, a significant discount on the $450 'normal' cost. There's now a $45 UAS Market & Careers Short Course.
Using Geofencing to Limit Student Access to Messaging App
Yik Yak is an anonymous messaging app getting popular with middle and high school students. It links users based on location and posters can be anonymous or use an alias. Concern about its use in bullying prompted the company to block access on a case by case basis. One school blocked access on the its wi-fi network. But, at things heated up there was a call to ban it from middle and high schools.
Yik Yak applied geo-fences around middle schools and high schools using their GPS coordinates, which would actually prevent the app from working while students were on school grounds. Of course, students could still use the app at home and elsewhere outside of school, but it puts an immediate damper on all the so-called "fun."
The school data used was from Maponics which said that was the first time its data had been used in that way.
Stanford Explores School Shooting with Geospatial Tech

Doubtful Sound cruise
Trip Start Feb 17, 2005
123Trip End Feb 27, 2006
Jimmy drove us down to the Visitor's Centre at 8.45am, ready for a 9.30am departure. That gave us time to speak to an advisor regarding Milford Sound cruises. I persuaded Charlotte to do the overnight cruise with me, although it was easy as it was on special offer at just $140. The weather forecast was fine for Sunday and Monday, so it made sense to book it for Sunday night. Milford Sound is renowned for its rainfall (6-7 metres a year), so we were in for a real treat if we could see the magnificent scenery on a clear day...
With that cruise all sorted, we checked in for the Doubtful Sound one, which was on a much smaller boat with a capacity of just 15 people. This appealed to me as it would be more peaceful, and less hectic.
The first leg of the journey was a 50 minute boat ride to the other side of Lake Manapouri. We braved the cold, windy conditions and stood outside because despite the rain, the views were superb. The mist actually gave the lake and overlooking mountains an air of mystery, and I was excited about seeing the Sound later in the day.
There was an underground power station at the other side of the lake, although Charlotte and me weren't very enthusiastic about it - we just wanted to see the scenery. Still, after completing the initial boat journey, a bus took us down an eerie tunnel until we were 2km underground. A short walk followed, before we were ushered onto a viewing platform that provided views of the inside of the station. Some people were more interested than others, but we were glad to get back on the bus some 20 minutes later, especially when we emerged from the tunnel to much clearer skies.
The road from Lake Manapouri to Doubtful Sound only opened in 1959, and before then it was virtually impossible to reach the Sound
The 1 hour bus journey was very scenic indeed, as we passed dense forests, flowing rivers and huge waterfalls. It wound its way up and around the mountains, until we reached a spectacular viewpoint at the summit of Wilmot's Pass. The skies had cleared, and everyone was in awe of the view, naturally taking lots of photographs.
After slowly weaving our way downhill, we were dropped off at yet more splendid waterfalls - we had 15 minutes free while the driver got the catamaran ready. So we had a gentle stroll along the incredibly remote road, viewing fantails in the trees on both sides of us.
We climbed aboard the catamaran at the end of the track, and made ourselves comfortable at the front. We were surrounded by mountains that completely dwarfed us, and the water was so still. It was very relaxing, and I laid down as the catamaran slowly penetrated the Sound - "this is the life" I thought!
The cruise lasted for 4 hours, and for the most part it was warm and sunny, a welcome relief after the rain in the night. It was like living the high life, just relaxing on a catamaran with noone else around, cruising around some of the world's most amazing scenery.
At one stage the sun went in and the wind picked up, so I went inside for a nice cup of coffee. I got talking to an elderly couple from Leeds after detecting their Yorkshire accents, and it turned out that their daughter lives in the same village as me! They were a very friendly, jolly couple, even though threy'd done the Milford Sound cruise the previous day and "not seen a thing!" They'd also been to Japan to visit their son who has taught over there for the last few years, so it was interesting to hear their views on the country.
Charlotte and me went back outside for the final part of the cruise, eager to take in the scenery while we could. Soon afterwards, the boat pulled in next to the wharf, and we had another 15 minutes free until the bus picked us up. Again, we went for a walk, and we were almost immediately greeted by a stunning bird that on first glance looked like a Kaka. It was in fact a Kea, but it was equally beautiful, and a lot more fearless around humans
The day was becoming more and more special, and we passed a lovely rainbow on the journey back to the lake. In fact, we saw about 6 more on the boat to Manapouri, as there was a mix of sunshine and dark clouds. We sat at the front of the boat, so we were privilege to more breathtaking scenery. As I looked ahead, I saw a scene that is just typical of the South Island. From top to bottom, I saw the lake's dark blue water, the sandy beach, the dense forest, a backdrop of mountains, the snow covered peaks, the blue sky, and the dark clouds. Such diversity.
It had been a near perfect day, and it wasn't over yet. Charlotte had to drive 20km to Te Anau for the nearest cash machine, and asked if I wanted to go as well and grab a bite to eat. So we found a nice pub that was bizarrely called The Moose, and I enjoyed a chicken burger and chips...and a very welcome pint of Speights!
It was sheer bliss relaxing in my cabin later on in the evening, as once again there was noone else staying there. I made a roaring log fire that kept me nice and warm, until I eventually fell asleep in the early hours of the morning...

Fighting For His Life
A Rockaway surfer clings to life after his ankle tether got snagged on some unused underwater pylons that should have been removed years ago, fellow surfers say.
The 20-year-old surfer who was identified only as Josh, nearly drowned on Friday, November 12 while surfing at Beach 92 Street at about 4:36 p.m.
Fellow surfers and fire department divers swam out to help the distressed man, whose ankle tether – a line that ties a surfer to his board – got snagged on the submerged wooden pylons that were part of a longremoved jetty system.
"The pylons are super dangerous," said a surfer who witnessed the accident. "It's only a matter of time before they kill somebody."
Near the same jetty, an area that surfers call "The Sticks," a 36-year-old surfer died exactly a year ago when he was knocked from his board into nearby rocks.
Shaun Reen has lived in Rockaway for 57 years. He says he has been surfing the area for 45 years.
"I understand the initial need for the construction of the wooden jetties," Reen told The Wave this week. "History has proven that they did not save the beach as they were intended to do. Now, dilapidated and pointed, they only pose a hazard to surfers. Ten years ago or so, the Army Corps of Engineers filled in the beaches and cut off the ends of the jetties so the coastline might look more like North Carolina. Now, most people have no idea where the jetties are, red flags notwithstanding."
"I grew up with these jetties," he added, "but now they have to go."
Reen said angrily that if the city won't remove the "sticks," then the surfers should be given the go-ahead to do it for themselves.
"It's not surfing that kills us, nor the waves," he argued. "In this case, it's the city that allows these 'sticks' to remain in place."
A spokesperson for the Department of Parks said that an erosion study is underway and is expected to include recommendations for the future of the pylons.

Black and white photograph showing Thomas Joseph Hewitt in the National Hospital, London, 1917.
The inscription on the photograph explains that the subject is Thomas Joseph Hewitt, service # 1939 (actually #1937). An 'x' on a bed appears to identify him.
Thomas Joseph Hewitt, service #1937, was a 23-year-old linotype operator when he enlisted in March 1916 in Melbourne to fight in World War I. He was placed in 57th Infantry Battalion - 2 to 5 Reinforcements (April-September 1916), and embarked on 8 July 1916 on the HMAT Ajana. By December he was in France, and on 23 December was taken on strength in the 58th Battalion. On 12 May 1917, the 58th Battalion was in the Hindenberg Line during the Battle of Bullecourt (3-17 May 1917). The Unit Diary reported 'Enemy heavies shelling area in rear of our lines...numerous casualties occurred...fierce hand to hand fighting with rifle and bombs...[after 4.30pm] sector was again vigorously shelled for two hours...During the twenty-four hours the trenches were greatly destroyed. Almost all the posts were blown out...' Special stretcher parties were requested to clear the wounded, which they completed by midnight. Hewitt received a shell wound to head that caused a compound fracture of his skull, and paralysis to his right leg. He was sent to England and admitted to the National Hospital on 23 May, and remained there until 12 September, when he was transferred to hospital in Dartford. His doctor was Dr Farenridge, an Australian. Hewitt was sent back to Australia on 31 October 1917, and spent time recovering in the Caulfield Military Hospital. He was discharged on 2 February 1918 on the grounds of being medically unfit. He lived to the age of 91 years.
Museum Victoria holds two photographs of Hewitt in hospital as well as several personal effects.

I'm looking for advice on this. I am guessing it is probably better to stay away...I have tried several times to get this seller to send me other photos of this helmet to no avail. No response, nothing. In an earlier message, they claim it is a mystery helmet, but with their lack of communication, I am not sure if it is legit or worth buying.

Hello, I'm still fairly new to knitting and would really appreciate some assistance. I'm wanting to make a childs sweater from "Animal Knits" by Zoe Mellor. It's telling me to use Rowan Handknit DK Cotton 50gm balls. I'd like to consider using a different yarn. If I use the same gauge but with a wool yarn can you think of any reason (other than needing to be handwashed) that would interfere with this? I'd like to buy "Knit Picks Merino Style DK yarn" as a substitute. I really would like some help before I purchase it from someone who's experienced with knitting and changing yarns. Thank you.......first post by the way! Looks like a fun forum......Lisa123
Welcome!! You can start with any dk weight yarn, and then do a swatch to get your gauge just so.
I've done many children's sweaters with Plymouth Encore, worsted and dk, and it washes and dries beautifully. In fact I made the sweater from that book with the farm animals on it. It's a blend.
If you want wool, there are superwash wools out there, too, that come in dk weight and don't have to be handwashed. Dale of Norway Falk is one, off the top of my head. But if you want the Merino Style, that should work find, but again, just do a swatch.
Ingrid.....thank you so much. I'll look online for the plymouth encore you suggested. I'm sorta hoping for a different yarn too for the cost of it as well. I'll need several colors for this one sweater and I'd like to keep the cost down as much as I can while I'm still new at it. The suggested yarn (which is very nice) runs over $5.00 a ball. Thanks Ingrid.....I really appreciate your reply
http://yarnware.com/ has the encore dk for $3.19 a ball. It has 150 yards per ball for comparison's sake.
Terrific! thanks.......I'm gonna go order some right now! Glad I found this site. You helped put my mind at ease.......happy knitting! Lisa

Herald Rating: * * * *
Peaches (real name Merrill Nisker) is a cross between Into the Groove era Madonna, Buffalo Stance era Neneh Cherry, and a modern-day Joan Jett (who sings with Peaches on the raunchy You Love It). The thing that makes her unique is the glitchy electro groove that's the core of her music.
She's open about her sexual politics and her carnal shenanigans - and if you don't like her music, don't listen.
Impeach My Bush is more accessible than her confrontational and annoying second album, Father[expletive], from 2004. Largely that's thanks to riffy tracks like Do Ya, You Love It, and Give Er. This album is also more ambitious because, while her first two were almost entirely machine made, Impeach My Bush has live instruments courtesy of guests like Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) and drummer Samantha Maloney (Hole).
The lyrics (like those in Slippery Dick and Tent In Your Pants) are what might put some off. It's explicit stuff that can't be written here, but don't be a prude. This is fun, playful and sexy, and that's a pretty good threesome.

Man in the Mirror Time For Congressman Porter
Jan 10, 2006
Man in the Mirror Time For Congressman Porter
Porter Easy to Criticize, Late to Address his Own Unethical Donations
$35,000 Contributions Jon Porter took from Tom DeLay and his PAC.
$5,000 Legal defense donation from Jon Porter to Tom DeLays legal defense fund.
$10,000 Bail paid by Tom DeLay after he was indicted.
(Washington, D.C.) Despite a checkered history of unethical donations from Tom DeLay and contributed to his legal defense fund Jon Porter refuses to support meaningful ethics reform in Washington. A little over a year ago today, Porter voted with Republicans in Congress to weaken House ethics rules to protect later-indicted and former Republican leader Tom DeLay. Nevada families deserve more than Jon Porters rhetoric, especially with his record of changing the rules whenever his friends are in trouble.
It should be no surprise that Jon Porter is trying to hide behind attacks on fellow Nevadans when he has made a career of taking donations from ethically challenged lobbyists and members of Congress, said Bill Burton, communications director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Porter and the Republican Congress have been shamed by Democrats into joining the call for lobbying and ethics reform, but after a decade of open-door policies to the special interests, its difficult to imagine them suddenly supporting meaningful change. Porter should spend less time throwing stones in his glass house when it comes to ethics and a lot more time cleaning it up. When it comes to accepting unethical donations, Porter need look no further than his bathroom mirror.
The Porter Record on Ethics and Lobbying Reform:
Porter Opposed Closing The Lucrative "Revolving Door" Between Lobbying & Lawmaking. The vote was against a measure to prohibit Members of the House from negotiating lucrative job deals that capitalize on their committee membership. Politicians or federal employees frequently leave office for the insider game of lobbying and advising private interests on how to do business with the federal government. Special interests and the lobbyists they employ spent more than $13 billion lobbying Congress from 1998 to 2003. More than 250 ex-members of Congress now lobby Congress. Recently, former Rep. Billy Tauzin (R-LA) became PhRMA's top lobbyist after he helped draft a Medicare prescription drug bill as chairman of the Energy and Commerce panel. [HRS 5, Vote #5, 1/4/2005; Failed 196-219; R 1-219; D 194-0; I 1-0]
Porter Voted to Weaken House Ethics Rules. The vote supported GOP House rules curtailing the ways ethics investigations can be launched, a day after the party retreated on two other ethics moves. Republicans passed a package of House rules that requires at least one Republican to agree before the ethics committee begins an inquiry. The committee's membership is evenly divided between parties, and previously a deadlock meant an inquiry would automatically begin. Former Ethics committee Chairman Joel Hefley (R-Colo.) broke with GOP leaders on the House floor, saying he thought the changes were a mistake since they were done without bipartisan discussion. Republicans abandoned their plan to gut a rule that allows the ethics committee to admonish a member even if no specific law has been broken, and were forced by Democrats to restore a rule requiring a party leader to step down if indicted. [HRS 5, Vote #6, 1/4/2005; Passed 220-195; R 220-0; D 0-194; I 0-1]
Porter Voted to Let Lobbyists Wine & Dine Congress. The vote was for new rules that would allow lobbyists to cater meals to members' offices and let charities pay for lawmakers to travel and stay at golf resorts and other locales. The measure would allow outside interests to pay for "perishable food or refreshments offered to members of an office." In 2002, for example, a lobbying firm representing pharmaceutical interests sent in dinner for House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert's (R-Ill.) staff while they were working late on a prescription drug bill. The weaker rules passed, 221-203. [HRS 5, Vote #4, 1/7/03; Passed 221-203; R 221-0; D 0-202; I 0-1; Washington Post, 1/8/03]
Porter Voted Against Creating a Bipartisan Ethics Task Force. Twice. The panel would have equal representation of Republicans and Democrats to make recommendations to restore public confidence in the House ethics process. The measure was defeated. [HRS 213 , Vote #106, 4/14/2005; Passed 218-195; R 218-2; D 0-192; I 0-1; HRS 153, Vote #70, 3/15/2005; Passed 223-194; R 223-1; D 0-192; I 0-1]

Indian-Spiced Salmon
Brush salmon with a mix of spices and brown sugar, then finish in the oven 'til bubbling and well browned. Garnish with cilantro and lemon.
Recipe: Indian-Spiced Salmon
Pair with: Merlot. The sweet fruit and oak accents in the Merlot perk up with the touch of brown sugar in the rub on this salmon. And the coriander, cardamom, and cloves bring out a warm-spiced edge in the wine, which also throws a juicy, lively line to the crunchy onions with the salmon. Recommended bottle: Teira 2010 Merlot (Sonoma County).

BERLIN (AP) Federal prosecutors say they have charged a 31-year-old German man with belonging to a terrorist organization that fought international and government troops in Afghanistan.
Prosecutors said in a statement Monday that Josef D., whose last name wasn't given in accordance with German privacy laws, is accused of being a member of the so-called German Taliban Mujahedeen. He was arrested in April after his return to Germany from the Afghanistan-Pakistan border area.
Prosecutors say he traveled to the region to join up with the group in 2009 "to fight armed jihad," but left sometime after April 2010 when many of its leaders were killed. They say he traveled through Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Jordan to make his way home.

Do You Have a Pet or a Companion? Words Matter
When writing about animals and all things veterinary, I struggle with something pretty basic — word choice. For example, should I call the people who have brought animals into their homes and are responsible for them "owners," "pet parents," or "caretakers?" Each term carries with it a whole host of baggage.
Do we truly own our animals? From a legal standpoint, yes we do, but the moral and ethical debate is ongoing. Personally, I find the phrase "pet parent" a little too cutesy for everyday use, to say nothing about the fact that "parenting" children and animals are two very different experiences.
And what about the word "pet"? I'm not a big fan, but I haven't found a good alternative. "Companion animal" is the most accurate replacement, but whenever I try to use it more than once or twice in a post it starts sounding contrived. Doing away with "companion" and sticking with just "animal" wrongly removes people from the equation. When I'm talking about dogs and cats, I can say "dogs and cats," but that gets a little old after awhile and certainly doesn't work when I'm talking about issues that involve dogs, cats, horses, chinchillas, birds, rabbits, potbelly pigs, and so on.
Should I refer to an individual animal as "it"? From a grammar standpoint, I like the fact that "it" eliminates the awkward use of "he or she" and "him or her," but I don't like referring to everyone with masculine pronouns (that's the feminist in me coming out, I guess). On the other hand, when I use all feminine pronouns I feel like I'm trying to make a point better addressed in a different discussion. For awhile, I referred to all cats as "she" and all dogs as "he," but that didn't fully solve the problem.
Picking between "who" and "that" is another point of contention. My grammar checker hates it when I say something along the lines of "all cats who have feline leukemia" and wants to change it to "all cats that have feline leukemia." I've dug my feet in on that one, though. I definitely like "who" better.
Check out these two paragraphs:
If an animal vomits more than once or twice in a 24 hour period, its owner should call a veterinarian. Without appropriate care, the animal could become dehydrated, and its condition could rapidly deteriorate. Animals that vomit may need to be hospitalized to be cared for appropriately.
If a pet vomits more than once or twice in a 24 hour period, his or her caretaker should call a veterinarian. Without appropriate care, the pet could become dehydrated, and his or her condition could rapidly deteriorate. Pets who vomit may need to be hospitalized to be cared for appropriately.
Which version do you think sets a more appropriate tone when we talk about our pets … or should I say "fur kids"?

Hanging... relaxing... recovering from all the travels. Tonight Alett, Jessica and I went to a local bar/restaurant and had delicious pancakes with strawberries. Jessica's mom was sooo sweet to treat us to dessert. :) Jessica wore my black wig! It looked awesome on her. Before you know it I think everyone I know will have worn this black pixy wig. All my girlfriends love it!
Saturday September 17th
Woke up super early to take Alett to the train station
Jessica and I returned home and went to sleep for a few more hours. Then we went into the city. We went to this amazing field of wild flowers. They were almost as tall as me. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful! I will add photos so you can see for yourself. We did a little shopping then tried to go to the fall festival. This is where they have booths set up with food and hand made goods. They were closed when we arrived. Maybe we can check it out tomorrow. When we arrived home there was a little porcupine hanging out. Jessica says the neighbors feed it milk and cookies every night. It was adorable.
Sunday September 18th
Today Jessica, her mother and I went hiking. It was awesome. We drove through the country side to get to this place. It was a long trek. We walked up many stairs through a tiny cave called Heaven's letter. SO amazing. We sat on huge rocks and took the view in. After hiking we ended up at a small restaurant. Here we enjoyed some ice cream bars.
Monday September 19th
Hung out in Jessica's moms garden. I love spending time in the garden. Its sooo beautiful and relaxing. Jessica and me picked blackberries. :)
Tuesday September 20th
Left Germany on a night train. Jessica and her mother Barbara sent me off. They waved to me from outside the train.It was a little sad to leave. I had such a great time with them. I will miss Germany and of course miss them even more!

text: I find it kind of comical that people keep pointing out how great the olines Cleveland and 49ers have and yet the Browns have given up more pressures and the 49ers more sacks and hurries. Both these teams have been relatively healthy along the offensive lines unlike the Cowboys. Of course people will point to the great Romo's elusiveness masking what is otherwise a sieve of an oline, but that fortress littered with first rd picks in San Francisco was torched for five sacks by the Rams the week prior. Kapernick was the QB for most of that game and I think it's fair to say he has at least some of Romo's athleticism. Sorry, but most teams would be in the same position if they were missing they're starting left tackle, center and guard as the Cowboys were last week and we have yet to see this line together for any amout of time to make any kind of conclusion on the effectiveness of the group.

The British government has granted temporary diplomatic immunity to a prominent Israeli politician in advance of a visit to Britain this week to protect her against arrest and potential prosecution for alleged breaches of international law, including war crimes.
The Foreign Office confirmed "special mission" status - effectively, diplomatic immunity - has been granted to Tzipi Livni, Israel's justice minister and lead negotiator in recent peace talks, who will meet Foreign Office ministers in London.
The move comes amid efforts to secure a warrant for Livni's arrest by London law firm Hickman and Rose, acting on behalf of a relative of a Palestinian killed in the bombing of a police compound on the first day of Israel's military assault on Gaza, which began in December 2008.
Working with the Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), the law firm requested the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to advise police to arrest Livni for suspected war crimes, and to liaise with the attorney general to approve criminal charges.
Raji Sourani, PCHR director, said he was very disappointed at the government's decision given that a British judge decided in December 2009 that there was sufficient evidence to justify Livni's arrest over the three-week Israeli military assault on Gaza.
"The [government's] policy of 'ending impunity for international crimes' can only be properly pursued if the rule of law and due process is allowed to prevail, rather than Britain giving a safe haven to suspected war criminals," Sourani said.
It is the second time diplomatic immunity has been granted to Livni when visiting Britain. In October 2011 she was granted special mission status after the CPS received an application for an arrest warrant for alleged war crimes.
In December 2009 Livni cancelled a visit to London after an arrest warrant was issued by Westminster magistrates court.
The granting of immunity to Livni comes amid growing concern over the government's issuing of special mission status, and the secrecy surrounding such moves.

Yesterday we learned that albeit not-so-shocking news that Paula Patton and Robin Thicke have decided to separate after almost 9 years of marriage. As you may recall, the official statement that was released yesterday made the claim that the decision to split was a mutual one but today we are hearing that it may not have been so mutual after all. Apparently, Robin decided to cancel a few shows so that he could fly up to Vancouver, British Columbia where Paula is currently working on a new film to try and save his marriage. Obviously, his attempts were unsuccessful. According to reports, it was Paula who decided to end things … altho we don't yet know the official reason she decided to do so. Read on to learn more about how Robin unsuccessfully tried to save his marriage at the last minute.
Robin Thicke threw a Hail Mary last Friday to try to save his marriage … cancelling his Atlanta concert and flying to Canada to plead with his wife … TMZ has learned. Sources connected with the couple tell us … Paula Patton told Robin Friday she wanted to end the marriage. Robin then abruptly cancelled his show, saying he had throat problems. But the cancellation was solely so he could sit with his wife and try to change her mind. We're told Paula — who is shooting a movie in Vancouver — and Robin had a long, face-to-face talk … both acknowledging they had not been getting along and frequently arguing. Our sources say in the end Robin realized Paula was determined to end the marriage and reluctantly agreed, but was very upset. We're told she was also upset. The next day Robin cancelled his Orlando concert so he could be with their child.
Altho we may have our suspicions as to the cause of the split, we really don't know for sure what went down in this couple's personal life behind closed doors. Clearly they were very happy for a long time and almost 9 years of marriage isn't anything to sneeze at. It's possible that something caused Paula to decide to pull the plug and if she cannot get over that "something" then it's unlikely that the couple will reconcile. That said, anything is possible. I know there are a lot of people placing blame in this situation but, again, all that really matters is what Paula and Robin decide to do. I really like Paula Patton and I would like to see her happy. If her happiness depends on getting out of her marriage, then she has to do what she has to do. At this point, the couple are only separated … so there's still a chance that they might have room to get back together. I guess we'll have to see. I can't say that I blame Robin for trying to save his marriage … even if it was too little, too late. Paula Patton is an amazing woman. If he really did do something to wreck his marriage, then that is a guilt he'll have to live with for the rest of his life. But, again, we are all operating on assumptions and conjecture. When couples split, there sometimes is enough blame to go around with both parties. In the long run, they'll both be fine. If they are meant to stay together, they will. I guess we shall see.

Fueled by political anger and disillusionment, this passionate, visually potent work looks directly at a crucial moment of conflict in Indonesian history: the aftermath of the four-year Republican revolution which brought an end to Dutch rule. Generally considered the father of Indonesian cinema, Usmar Ismail enjoyed his greatest critical and commercial success with this heartbreaking tale of a revolutionary hero's return to civilian life, and his confrontation of a new society cheapened by government repression and bourgeois complacency.

Mid-season corn leaf diseases
Leaf diseases are appearing on corn in many areas of the state. This is not too surprising, considering the amount of rain we have had. Fortunately, in most fields so far the symptoms are due to holcus spot or anthracnose, which do not tend to spread rapidly among the plants during mid-season. Anthracnose has become severe in some fields following the heavy rains, but the new leaves should escape infection. No in-season control measures are recommended for anthracnose. Other diseases are appearing and some of these are a bigger concern, especially in seed corn. Paul Klemme of Novartis Crop Protection reports that common rust, northern leaf spot, and gray leaf spot are appearing in many southern Iowa seed fields.
Anthracnose leaf blight (caused by the fungus Colletotrichum graminicola) is often the first leaf disease to appear. Symptoms are brown, oval or elliptical spots (up to about 1/2 inch in length) with a dark brown or purplish border, often surrounded by a yellowed zone. There may be black speckles within the dead tissue. Sometimes it is limited to the leaf margins. Anthracnose can cause significant damage to very young plants. Currently, it is causing the lower leaves to wither in some fields.
Holcus spot (caused by the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae) has appeared in a number of fields. Symptoms are light tan (sometimes almost white), round or oval spots on the lower leaves, usually about 1/4 inch in diameter. The spots may appear water soaked at the margins or have a light brown border. This disease is not known to cause economic damage, but it can look serious when spots are numerous. It often appears suddenly after a heavy rain but then does not spread to new leaves.
Common rust (caused by the fungus Puccinia sorghi) has started to appear in some seed cornfields. High amounts of rainfall and cool weather are favorable for rust. This disease is potentially very damaging to seed corn, and seed producers need to keep a close eye on it.
Northern leaf spot (caused by the fungus Bipolaris zeicola) was very common in seed cornfields last year, in some cases severe enough to warrant a fungicide application. The symptoms of this disease differ among the races of the fungus, but Race 3 seems most common, with roughly rectangular lesions about 1/8 inch in width by 1/2 inch in length. This race greatly resembles gray leaf spot, and sometimes the two diseases cannot be distinguished in the field.
Gray leaf spot (Cercospora zeae-maydis) is probably the most familiar leaf disease for many producers. Initial lesions are irregular tan spots about 1/8 inch in length; over time, the lesions develop into the characteristic rectangular shape about 1/8 inch in width by about 1 inch in length, with very straight sides limited by the leaf veins. Gray leaf spot is now evident on lower leaves in many southern Iowa fields, but it appears to be less prevalent than last year at this time. If field corn producers are considering a Tilt application for gray leaf spot, now is the time to be scouting fields. For application criteria, see the article in the July 6, 1998, issue of the ICM newletter (pages 129-130). Seed producers should be well into their gray leaf spot scouting by now.
Eyespot (Aureobasidium zeae) was unusually prevalent last year, and I have seen one field this year in central Iowa with an alarming outbreak of eyespot. This disease is characterized by small, round, tan spots 1/8 inch or less in diameter with a brown border and a yellow "halo."
Control of these diseases is mainly accomplished through resistance, crop rotation, and crop residue management. The only option at this point is a fungicide application (probably Tilt); with corn prices at current levels, a fungicide seems unlikely to be profitable except in seed corn or if there is a severe outbreak in field corn.
This article originally appeared on pages 141-142 of the IC-482(19) -- July 19, 1999 issue.

"Put Another Log on the Fire" is sung by the Hillbilly Singer on The Muppet Show episode 115. While the Hillbilly sits in his rocking chair, Candice Bergen scurries about, following his orders. At the end of the skit she revolts. She tears off her apron to reveal a feminist t-shirt, dumps a plate of food on the Hillbilly, and stomps out.

Sam Whittemore was 80 years old when the Revolutionary war began. He had heard about the encounter at Lexington and Concord, and decided that he should get in on the action.
As the Redcoats were retreating back toward his town (about 1500 of them), he armed himself with a musket, a brace of pistols, and a saber. He then told his wife he was going to go fight the British.
He found a good spot for an ambush, about 150 yards from the road that the Redcoats would be coming down during their retreat from Concord.
When the British showed up, he began firing on them, picking them off with his musket (an amazing feat at that distance). He, by himself, was perceived as such a threat, that the British sent a large unit to engage him.
Sam hid until the unit was upon him, then sprang from cover to engage them. He crushed one soldier's skull with the butt of his musket, then drew his pistols, killing a man with each shot. As he began to draw his saber, he was shot in the face, and fell to the ground.
The British bayonetted him until they were sure he was dead. After the Redcoats left, Sam, unbeknownst to them, regained consciousness, and despite having part of his face shot away, and being stabbed over 14 times, he made a full recovery, and lived to the ripe old age of 98.
I came across this story, which I have paraphrased, while reading "The Light and the Glory." Thought it was pretty good, so I decided to share it.

'It's Never Too Late' to get an education in HCC's Adult Education Program
Graduates of Haywood Community College's GED and Adult High School Programs will tell anyone that getting the credential is something you have to work for. They will also say it is worth the effort.
"If I can do it," says Sharon Cagle, 2013 GED graduate, "anyone can do it."
Cagle quit school in 10th grade, raised a son, and worked in food service for more than 30 years. She found that in order to start a new chapter, getting an education was the only way.
"Once I passed the first test, I was inspired," Cagle says. "I decided to take it one subject at a time. If I didn't pass a test, I told myself I would try again."
Cagle was determined. The middle age student has suffered strokes which affected her memory. She says she hopes she was encouragement to younger students and is so proud she achieved her goal. In fact, she was named the GED Award student for the year. Now, Cagle hopes to work in a medical office.
For Kenny Escucha, he always thought graduating was something you were supposed to do. He always pressed the importance of education to his daughter. Now more than 20 years after leaving high school in 11th grade, Escucha received his GED.
Escucha felt at home the minute he walked in HCC's Adult Education Department. "I finished something I should have done a long time ago," he says. "It was a long time coming and it's something to be proud of. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders."
Escucha has a successful construction business. But now he will start school again for a degree in information technology, something else he has always wanted to do.
"Everybody goes through hurdles but it's not too late to come back to school," Escucha says. "I was determined to do this."
For Amanda Bumgarner, Adult High School graduate, finishing high school was a matter of just a few credits. Like Escucha, she started a small business that had her working between 60 and 70 hours per week but it was not fulfilling. Now 13 years after high school, she finished the program so she can embark on a nursing degree and a new career.
Bumgarner is now a student at HCC in pre-nursing. "My grandmother was a nurse and I looked up to her. Now this is a small tribute to her that I follow in her footsteps."
Bumgarner received the AHS Award for 2013.
For the first time, HCC's PCs for GED Program awarded all graduates who applied a refurbished computer at this year's ceremony. This green initiative is aimed at helping members of the community discard old PC computer equipment while supporting the educational success of HCC GED graduates.
Day, evening, and online classes are available through the Adult High School and GED Programs. For information about obtaining a GED or the AHS Program, call 627-4648.

Like most group exercise classes, indoor cycling comes with its own unique vocabulary. While it may seem foreign at first, with some simple translation and understanding of the terms you'll be able to follow along with the class no problem and get in a great workout.
RPM – RPM refers to "revolutions per minute." This is the amount of times you can turn one leg in one minute. In outdoor cycling, riders pedal between 50–110 RPM, with the majority of the work done between 60–99 RPM. The instructor should provide a way for you to understand and pedal within an RPM range, either through the metrics on a console mounted to the bike's handlebars, the tempo of the song or by visually cueing you to match her leg speed.
Resistance/Gear/Tension – Almost all indoor bikes feature a knob or lever that controls the resistance—it's typically found at the base of the handlebars, between your knees. A turn to the right will put more resistance against the wheel, making it more difficult for you to pedal. A turn to the left will remove some resistance and make it easier. Use this mechanism to control the amount of effort you put into your pedaling.
Your RPM speed plus the amount of resistance you apply determines the intensity of your work. Manipulating these two elements—either separately or together—is what increases or decreases your effort.
Flat – Outdoors, a flat would be any stretch of road that does not have an incline or decline. Typically, it would be ridden in a seated position, with occasional reasons to stand such as to increase your power to pass another rider, accelerate to push through an intersection, or possibly just to take a break from the saddle. But the terrain alone does not dictate the work! The intensity of a "flat" could be easy, moderate, hard, maximum effort or a combination of these efforts, depending on your chosen resistance level and RPM.
Hill – Outdoors, hills come in all shapes and sizes. In indoor cycling, a "hill" is typically ridden out of the saddle at a tough effort. But remember that indoors, both flats and hills are merely images used to motivate you to keep pedaling. The terrain beneath your bike never actually changes. Creative instructors understand this and use the feeling of "flats" and "hills," changes from seated to standing positions, and great imagery to get you to inspire you to give your best effort.

In the Tate Publishing contract they stated that they would provide complete professional edition and original cover design. Things that you would expect a publisher to get right. When my book was published, readers found over 70 grammatical errors. When I received my first artist rendering of a book cover, it had pictures of soldier from the 2010 Afghan war. My book was a World War II thriller. Tate also said they would provide help with marketing and promotion. When I received their monthly marketing reports, most of the entries read: "We were unable to reach the store manager, John; however we left information about your book on his voicemail. We await a reply. Please follow up with this location in 1-2 weeks if we have not informed you of an event by that time." Apparently, they never did follow up themselves. Here's the bottom line. Tate professes to be a Christian publishing company, but as a Christian myself, I am embarrassed to be associated with them. DO NOT USE TATE PUBLISHING.

Saint Paul Condos: New Condominium Developments
Lowertown is named for its close proximity to St. Paul's primary docking point of old—Lower Landing—and was a hotbed for condo developers. Lowertown experienced an influx of new construction condominiums such as Printers Row, Dakota on the Park, Essex on the Park, Lot 270, as well as impressive conversions like the Ninth Street Lofts, Great Northern Lofts, Union Depot Lofts, Market House and the River Park Lofts.
Rice Park is also home to a beautiful loft conversion of a medical arts building known as the Lowry. Currently undergoing renovation in the heart of Downtown St. Paul is the Fitzgerald building, which neighbors the Shubert Theater. The Fitzgerald will soon be home to a number of affordable Saint Paul condos with loft-style high ceilings and large windows.
Rossmor Lofts was once home to a bustling shoe factory, but was converted in 2002 into loft residences. Retail space on the ground floor includes restaurants, the 9th Street Entry Art Gallery, and shops.
Condominiums are not a new concept in the heart of Downtown, with buildings like the pioneering 1981 Gallery Tower Condominiums and City Walk Condos, built in 1982, which feature direct skyway access. There is also the 1988 amenity-filled Pointe of St. Paul building, which has provided buyers with great St. Paul condos for years.
For those drawn to the allure of the Mississippi, the Upper Landing has undergone a major redevelopment effort. Mississippi Flats and Upper Landing are two Saint Paul condominiums located next door to each other, and are situated along the Mississippi River. There is an abundant mix of riverfront St. Paul condos, luxury apartment buildings, and modestly sized units available.
Be sure to contact us with any questions you may have about condominiums in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

The right spotting scope can make the difference between a 10-second scan and a wasted two-hour stalk. The Cassegrain-style mirror system in the Burris XTS 2575 provides high resolution all the way to its impressive 75Xmagnification. That's enough power to score a whitetail from the next county or gauge groups without leaving the bench. Lens surfaces have a reflection-free broad-band multi-coating for extra image brilliance.
At a feathery 33 ounces and measuring just 10 inches long, 5 inches tall, and 3.6 inches wide, it stows and hauls easily. An angled eyepiece translates to comfort during long spotting sessions.

The machine translation of the source link is hilarious
I haven't been too impressed with Kotobukiya's Bishoujo line as of late, and this Kitty Pryde figure shows why. Amiami's blog has a gallery featuring the painted prototype and something about it doesn't seem right to me.
As for what you see, she does indeed come with Lockheed, who was a no-show at NYCC. The paint job has that glossy vinyl-like finish which is cool. There isn't much going on for the base, and the Bishoujo line is hit-or-miss in that regard. Another thing I noticed: Kotobukiya really likes the one-legged pose. Look back at the Bishoujo line, see just how many are standing on one leg.
The main problem I have with this figure is her face. It just looks weird - a bit too long and narrow. I don't think it's a good representation of Shunya Yamashita's style. I also find the yellow parts of her uniform to be strange. They're supposed to be hugging her skin, but the effect doesn't look convincing at all. Fabric doesn't wrap around a body like that. Then again, this is the X-Men universe we're talking about, so who knows.
