Colombo: AB de Villiers said he was disappointed by South Africa's disastrous showing in the Super Eights of the World T20 and vowed to make amends.
"We didn't play well enough… We can't blame it on the conditions. We lost to Pakistan from a good position… We played poor cricket and its really disappointing," the South African captain said.
- India win, but Pakistan go through
- Watson stars as Australia thrash South Africa
- Gul's blinder strangles South African chokers
De Villiers said he was expected India to go in with two spinners. "I expected another specialist spinner to play for India…"
How important was Gary Kirsten in planning their strategy against India? "Gary is a great coach. It's great to have him. He has got great success when working with India. He helped us as much as he could… Its been the same in other matches as well. But we couldn't perform. We weren't good enough on the day," he said.
"There are no excuses. We were found wanting in the crucial moments."

Google Invests in World's Largest Wind Farm

Google has invested $100 million in the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm in Arlington, Oregon
Aside from running the successful Android operating system and the world's most popular search engine, Google has been making some environmentally conscious efforts as well. Just last week, the web giant
invested $168 million in the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System
located in the Mojave Desert in California.
Now, Google is investing $100 million in the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm in Arlington, Oregon. It will be joining this project with
Caithness Energy
, which is the project developer, and
, an early investor and turbine manufacturer as well as an operations and maintenance supplier. Other investors include
Tyr Energy
Sumitomo Corporation of America
The Shepherds Flat Wind Farm is still under construction, but is expected to be the largest wind farm in the world. Once completed, it will produce 845 megawatts of energy, which can power over 235,000 homes.
"This project is exciting to us not only because of its size and scale, but also because it uses advanced technology," said Rick Needham, Director of Green Business Operations for Google in
The Official Google Blog
. "This will be the first commercial wind farm in the U.S. to deploy, at scale, turbines that use permanent magnet generators - tech-speak for evolutionary turbine technology that will improve efficiency, reliability and grid connection capabilities. Though the technology has been installed outside the U.S., it's an important, incremental step in lowering the cost of
wind energy
over the long term in the U.S."
The Shepherds Flat Wind Farm is expected to help benefit Oregon economically, and will also help California meet its renewable energy goals. In addition, the electricity generated at the wind farm will be sold to Southern California Edison under "long term agreements."
The Shepherds Flat Wind Farm will be completed in 2012.

As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, The Times-Standard is asking its readers to share their memories of that day and the stories of those lost in the worst terrorist attack on American soil. Among those killed was Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Manager Richard Guadagno, who was on United Airlines Flight 93 when it crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania.
Those who knew him insist Guadagno was one of the passengers who fought back against the terrorists, causing the plane to crash in that field instead of its intended target, which some believe was the White House.
Please share your memories of Guadagno, or let us know where you were on that fateful day.
A selection of readers' stories will be printed in the Sept. 11 edition of the Times-Standard.

June 23, 1999
Chick-fil-A, Inc.
5200 Buffington Rd.
Atlanta, GA 30349
Phone: 404-765-8000
by Warren Gump (TMFGump)
Ownership: The Cathy Family
Competition: KFC, Popeye's, Church's
A Future IPO? Not likely
Chick-fil-A operates 845 restaurants, including three international locations. The company's units historically have been located primarily in mall food courts, but lately it has been expanding much more aggressively with freestanding units. Another avenue for growth is licensed units at colleges, hospitals, and at business sites. Plans for 1999 include the addition of 92 new units, including 50 freestanding, 30 licensed, 11 mall, and one international location.
Revenue growth seems to be a trademark of the company, with positive results every year since the company was founded. Hoovers estimates that revenue attributable to the company was $750 million last year, a solid 17% increase from the $640 million that Nation's Restaurant News estimated for 1997. Same-store sales have been incredibly strong, rising 7% in 1998, 11% in 1998, and about 8% thus far in 1999. To compare that with the competition, KFC, the nation's biggest chicken chain, crowed about 4% gains in 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. Freestanding units tend to bring in sales of in the $1.5 million range, whereas mall-based units gross almost $1 million.
Chick-fil-A has prospered under a unique culture fostered by its chairman, CEO, and founder, Truett Cathy. Two of his sons, Dan and Bubba, are also involved in senior management, along with Jimmy Collins, who is president and COO.
One of the more surprising Chick-fil-A traditions in our increasingly secular world is that all stores are closed on Sunday. The company could certainly increase profitability by operating on the seventh day, but it feels that some things are more important than making a buck. (This policy probably does give Chick-fil-A an advantage in recruiting talented restaurant employees who want at least one day off every week.) The company is also quite active in community affairs and sponsors college scholarships for its employees.
Chick-fil-A has designed a pay structure for unit operators that motivates and rewards these employees. After paying headquarters 15% of gross sales, the operating profits from each restaurant are split 50/50 between the company and the operator. To ensure a certain standard of living, each operator is guaranteed a minimum salary of $30,000. Because of this profit sharing agreement, operators are strongly vested in improving the operating performance of their units.
As demonstrated by its "Eat Mor Chikin" advertising campaign, Chick-fil-A has a lighter side that customers seem to enjoy. If you haven't had the pleasure of seeing these ads, they have huge, cute cows encouraging people to Eat Mor Chikin. While you really need to see some of the billboards to fully appreciate the ads, you can catch a glimpse of the cows on this promotional page.
Alas, don't hold your breath waiting for Chick-fil-A to go public. The Cathy family owns the company and fears that such a move would hinder its ability to support community efforts and may require the chain to open on Sunday. Even though investors might be disappointed that the company isn't an investment option, it sure is great to see a firm profitably grow while sticking to its founder's beliefs. Perhaps public companies could learn a lesson or two from Chick-fil-A.

My cat doesn't respond to cat nip is that normal?
My cat Hazel does not seem to care much for catnip. I've purchased at catnip spray, toys, and just plain old cat nip and she isn't interested at all. Has anyone else experienced that? Is she really abnormal for not responding? Just wondering!
Asked by
Hazel Basil
on Jan 8th 2012
in Behavior & Training
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
Absolutely not! And at different times, the same cat can have totally different responses to the nip. Sometimes, Izzie will act like a kitten when I use it and once, he attacked Delilah. It was a good long time before I used it again. Now, he's fine. Izzie is crazy for nip, Lizzie is sort of, and Delilah could care less. If I want to give my cats a treat, in the summer I grow catgrass outside. You can get catnip, wheatgrass, clover,or seeds just generically called "catgrass" from garden centers, or the "primo" stuff from www.citycatsbiz.com. or other online stores. If the plants look good at Petsmart, I'll occasionally get it there. Be forewarned though, it does come back up. In a hurry. So be prepared with paper towels. All 3 of mine are fairly long-haired so it helps with ejecting fur balls. Don't worry about HB...she's fine!!!

Catnip doesn't affect all cats. Not all cats like or respond to it, so Hazel is perfectly normal.

For 88 years, a small Oklahoma town has staged the Passion Play on a bizarre reproduction of Jerusalem built into the Wichita foothills. The pageant is put on by the very devout Christian community. When the man playing Jesus retires, Zack finds himself in the role, but is struggling with the secret that he is actually a Buddhist. What do you do when you're harbouring a secret that could see you pushed out of the thing you love doing, and how will people look at you once that secret is revealed?
These are the questions that plagued Zack though the latter half of Jesus Town USA. The documentary does a good job using the first act of the documentary to establish the history and tradition of the pageant. Then in the last two acts it delves into the true dilemma of the story. Zack, born into a Christian family, discovered Buddhism while at work and had secretly been practicing.
Now that he has been cast to play Jesus in the play for the town, he's starting to have doubts as to whether he should be playing the role when he isn't a "true believer." Zack isn't the only one struggling. Once his secret is slowly revealed to his parents, the pastor and the rest of the congregation, you start to see reservations and doubts start to fill the people around him.
Is Jesus Town USA essential festival viewing?
Yes. While at times the documentary seems a little put on, the message is still there. Everyone at some point in their lives will have to struggle with a decision in the same vein as Zack. This documentary is a great example of coming to terms with who you are and accepting yourself no matter what other people think.

- Saturday, April 25, 2015 – 1:00 pm – Hart House Theatre

Rigid Dial Thermometer Mercury Actuated
Product Announcement from Palmer Wahl Instrumentation Group
Heavy Molded Glass Cover
This unique cover maximizes the amount of light on the dial face enabling the user to read the dial face with ease in dimly lit areas. This cover, combined with a bezel ring and heavy, heat-resistant gasket, provides a weather-tight seal that prevents crystal fogging.
Easy to Read Dial
Every thermometer dial is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum with a low glare finish. High contrast black numerals, graduations, and pointer all contribute to minimize reading errors.
Liquid Actuated Systems
These temperature systems are filled with a non-toxic, odorless, organic, and non-flammable liquid up to 500°F. This liquid has proven to be an excellent substitute for Mercury.
Mercury Actuated Systems
For ranges over 500°F we place mercury into an all stainless steel, atomic-hydrogen welded system with direct drive coil, responding to the slightest change sensed by the mercury in the bulb. This provides the most accurate temperature reading possible.
All Palmer Dial Thermometers are equipped for external calibration. The reset calibration screw on the back of the case is readily accessible and simple to use, This feature permits setting for zero calibration error at any desired temperature within the range of the thermometer.
This unique feature results in a temperature indicator that is extremely responsive to temperature changes and will maintain its accuracy for many years.
All Model 35 and 50 Dial Thermometers have a .625" stem diameter with tapered sensing bulb interchangeable with a mercury-in-glass industrial thermometer type thermowell. A fast response is insured by the metal-to-metal contact of the tapered mercury filled bulb chamber and the internally tapered well.
Fully Adjustable All Angle Case with Rotatable Dial Face
Palmer 3-1/2" and 5" Rigid Stem Dials may be adjusted during installation and locked to provide the best reading angle.
Guaranteed to be accurate within one scale division. Calibration is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Brooklyn bartender believes he can fly, almost gets skewered
This week's Public Eye features the pilot of a five-person-strong Brooklyn Public House team that entered its magnificent flying machine in the Red Bull Flugtag event.
Fri Oct 11 2013
Red Bull Flugtag in Washington, D.C., September 2013
Humanity has always dreamt of breaking gravity's bonds. Only recently has it succeeded, although some folks have been more successful than others. One dreamer is Brooklyn Public House. On September 21, he and four coworkers, including Rachel Romano pictured below, entered their Hello Kitty plane in the Red Bull Flugtag in Washington, D.C., which pits homemade flying machines against one another for fun, glory and possibly serious bodily harm. We snapped the duo before the event, then checked in with Michalik after to make sure he was still alive.Michalik, a bartender at
Photograph: Sasha Maslov
I see you didn't plummet to your death. Uh, came close. Almost got skewered.
How'd you get involved in designing your own flying machine? I'm a dreamer. I like making things and believing in the impossible.
I assume that means getting drunk and thinking this was a good idea. How long did it take to make the plane? All in, about 60 hours.
Do you have experience doing this kind of thing? I've done a couple of these. There have been other ones where I've spent way more time and money. And it's always fun, but at the end of the day, you're up there for 30 seconds, and all of that time and energy ends up getting thrown into a giant garbage barge. Then you get home and think, Oh, what was I thinking?
You get good stories, at least. I'm looking at one of the pictures now, one of a crazy person getting pushed off a platform. Liftoff, I guess? [Laughs] Yeah, nosedive is more appropriate.
Is that you up there? Yeah, it's me in the pink pants.
Nice. Yeah, it's very aerodynamic. Everything was spot-on. I had three people pushing and doing sprints beforehand, but when it came to it, they just forgot to push. We calculated that an average person can run about 17 miles per hour, max speed. We needed to hit 15 to 17 miles per hour, which was totally doable, but… At the time I was up there, it felt like they were going so-so, but watching the video, they were just trotting along like they were doing a 5K.
They panicked and forgot the training? Yeah. People thought ours would be more likely to fly.
Maybe humans just weren't meant to fly. [Laughs] I mean, yeah and no.

And sometimes scaring can just be scary! But the Haunted House at APU is a fun activity focused on helping others in need. Halloween is one of the American traditions that we have spent very little time with. We focus on the Solemnity of All Saints celebrated each year on November 1st and have avoided the "trick or treat" and devilish costumes. When learning of the support for charity we made an exception. This event allows us to have fun while at the same time reaching out to those most in need.
The kids love to be scared! Even more they love to scare others. Admission to the Haunted House is free; however, patrons are encouraged to bring canned food, toiletries, unused undergarments, warm winter clothes, and or cash donations. All the donated items go directly towards two very special charities; Covenant House and Bean's Café.
Coveant House provides shelter for thousands of homeless children throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada. Founded by Rev. Bruce Ritter a Franciscan priest.
"Covenant House is dedicated to serving all God's children with absolute respect and unconditional love … to help suffering homeless kids … and to protect and safeguard all children in need." Last year Covenant House served 50,000 homeless kids.
Bean's Café is another amazing organization and a favorite among our kids to volunteer their time. The Café provides free breakfast and lunch 365 days of the year to men, women and children. They also provide social service assistance to the community.
"The underlying premise of Bean's Café is a deep belief in the inherent dignity of every person, a belief that people respond with kindness when treated kindly, with trust when trusted, and respectfully when respected".
The haunted house is located on the campus of Alaska Pacific University: Gould Hall, 4200 University Drive, Anchorage. The fright is open October 26th, 27th, 30th and 31st from 7:00 PM through 11:00 PM. Come join the fun and be scared for a great cause. Don't forget your canned food or other donation! And if the haunted house is too scary please stop anyways and drop off a donation to Covenant House and Bean's Café. Visit the APU web site for more information.

The Pike!!
Great book! Great cover! Especially the banner in the top right-hand corner! No, not 60p, it cost £1.99, the robbing bastards! Soon to be a major film! Surely this would be a great cinematic event, added to the Brit-horror canon of recent years up with Hellraiser and, er, all those films with Craig Fairbrass in them. But sadly, as you (the only reader) and I both know it was never made. Joan Collins never got the chance to bat off a paper-mache pike in Lake Windemere, no matter how much you screw up your eyes and hope it'll happen (I do this when I want to see more of the Clockwork Wizards band in Dr Phibes). There is a little more to be found here. But what of the author?

between channels on tumblr
Hello. Amidst the whoop and pulse of oscillators and the clack of teleprinters I neglected to mention that between channels now has a tumblr presence as well, a growing repository for things even flimsier and of less consequence than the blog entries occasionally found here.
There we are. Be seeing you!
There we are. Be seeing you!
It's Photo Action Cards!
You might think this is an extract from a set of 35 photographic action cards published in 1977 to be used in schools, but you'd be wrong. This is actually a time capsule - each subject perfectly frozen in time during a boring Easter holiday, doing whatever it is they were doing at the time. Be it eating an apple with a look of nausea, pushing the family's broken-down estate (note the rust speckling on the lower sill of an already new-ish car), skipping in the world's bleakest driveway or just bullying a big-eared boy in the garden, all of these young people are being absolutely natural and normal in their seventies way. I hope it brings back memories, creates false ones and even moulds psychical forces that will help free the subjects from their metaphysical amber.

Pencils out, sit up and if you've lost it, it's your own fault. Why not get the young people of your family to have a go at some of Peak Mathematics summer challenges? Many of them feature ancient coaches travelling to unknown destinations in conditions, but that's what the kids want, right? Extra points for anyone who can come up with a message written on the screen of an upside-down Texas Instruments 1104.

The Riddley Walker Mixtape on Acid Mist
The house move is complete and Summer is acumen in your hair, so I thought it was about time for a quick update. Not here of course (yet), but there is something brewing over at Acid Mist. So click over to the right and enjoy the bucolic sounds of a decaying post-nuclear holocaust society denuded of people and civilisation as we know it, relying only on the scraps of teachings passed down through the collective cultural mind!

The Bar is pleased to note that prime minister Tony Blair, new Lord Chancellor Lord Irvine of Lairg, LCD parliamentary secretary Geoffrey Hoon and the bulk of the Labour legal team are barristers.
But solicitors are less enamoured. Lord Irvine is described as conservative with a small 'c' and is expected to keep a tight control over the contentious issue of rights of audience. Barristers think he will do little to upset the Bar's 600 years of cherished traditions. Some solicitors put it another way, saying that he will do little to threaten barristers' level of income by encouraging further rights of audience.
But the Solicitors' Association of Higher Court Advocates chair Paul Hampton says there is no reason to think that Labour will be less committed than the Conservatives to the cause of solicitor advocacy. Solicitor advocates should be looking to fully exploit the opportunities that are already there, he says, instead of looking to the Government for further changes.
In any case, Lord Irvine's first 12 months on the Woolsack are expected to be taken up with constitutional matters such as devolution and reforming the House of Lords. Realising this, Lord Irvine has appointed Hoon "to take the initial lead" on legal aid, criminal justice and magistrates' courts.
Although called to the Bar in 1978, Hoon has spent much of his career as an academic, lecturing in law at Leeds and then Nottingham University before going into politics 13 years ago. In the shadow cabinet he was Trade and Industry spokesman and a Blairite who forged links between the party and big business. He is known to colleagues as a workaholic, and while described as pleasant-natured, he is also seen as fiercely independent.
He and Lord Irvine are expected to have a better working relationship than Hoon's shadow predecessor, Paul Boateng, who leaves the LCD to take a junior ministerial role in health. In Boateng's removal from legal matters, solicitors can find some comfort. It was Boateng who threatened the Law Society with a referral to the Monopolies and Mergers Commission if it did not allow multi-disciplinary partnerships.
Senior Law Society Council members believe his departure to health will give them time to formulate an MDP policy and be in the driving seat rather than being dictated to when Labour's legal team gets around to addressing the issue.
Once he emerges from the constitutional maze Lord Irvine will tackle the Woolf Report with a detailed cost/benefit analysis; the legal aid budget may also be trimmed 12 months down the track. As proposed by the Conservatives, resources for the Woolf reforms will have to come out of the existing legal aid budget.
Lord Irvine promised civil justice and legal aid reviews when he spoke at the Bar conference last autumn, but Legal Action Group director Roger Smith says details of what will happen are scarce.
"I think that – like the Blair Government in general – the Irvine and Hoon team enter the LCD with a pretty clean slate. They could do anything. At this time I think it's just questions, questions, questions."
Lord Irvine is expected to resist calls from the left of the party for the introduction of a public defender scheme, although he has expressed sympathy for publicly funded legal projects.
Much of the legal action in the first 12 months will come from the Home Office under Jack Straw as he reforms criminal legal aid and shakes up the Crown Prosecution Service in a bid to improve its conviction rate and to toughen up policy on sentencing.
In this he will be assisted by more barristers: Attorney General John Morris QC and Solicitor General Charles Falconer QC, an Islington friend of Blair who helped organise the £500-a-head fund-raising dinner in Hammersmith for leading Labour lawyers. Andrew Hardie QC is to become Lord Advocate for Scotland with Colin Boyle QC becoming Solicitor General for Scotland.
Bar Council spokesman and Labour party member Jon McLeod claims solicitors have nothing to fear from a barrister-led Labour Party.
"I think solicitors have absolutely nothing to worry about," he says. But then, of course, he would…

text: I have a strange sound almost like a vacume cleaner from the engine compartment. The pitch rises with rpm and gets louder as I push the gas pedal farther in. Its most noticeable around 2500-4500rpm on 5th gear. The noise is not suction from the turbo and the pitch doesn't change in relation to how fast the turbo is spooled, it almost sounds like a bad vacuum leak but I'm hearing it under boost as well.

A draft of a White House immigration proposal would allow undocumented to become legal permanent residents within eight years, USA Today reported on Saturday.
The plan, obtained by the newspaper, also would provide for more security funding and require businesses to check the immigration status of new hires within four years. Undocumented could also apply for a newly created "Lawful Prospective Immigrant" visa, under the draft bill, it said.
If approved, they could apply for the same provisional legal status for spouses or children living outside the country, according to the draft.
The White House has emphasized the importance of creating a path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally. Many Republicans emphasize that the nation's borders must be secured first.
Latinos favored President Barack Obama over Republican Mitt Romney in the November 6 election by 71 percent to 27 percent, helping tilt politically divided states to the Democratic incumbent.
Members of Congress also are drafting their own immigration bills.
In the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, a bipartisan group has been negotiating an immigration proposal for years and is writing its own bill. Last month, four Republican senators joined with four Democratic senators to announce their agreement on the general outlines of an immigration plan.
One of those Republican senators, Marco Rubio of Florida, dismissed the leaked White House draft bill, however, as a seriously flawed rehash of failed immigration policies that would make the country's immigration problems worse.
"If actually proposed, the president's bill would be dead on arrival in Congress , leaving us with unsecured borders and a broken legal immigration system for years to come," Rubio, who is a Cuban-American, said in a statement on Saturday.

The Human Flood That Could Swamp India
At a bustling street corner in downtown New Delhi, a big electronic board is clicking ominously. Once every two seconds--or 2,055 times every hour--the clock ticks to show another baby's birth somewhere in India. Last reading--949 million and counting. At this rate, India will surpass China as the most populous nation within 50 years, with 1.62 billion people. If so, one in every six people in the world will be Indian.
The electronic board shows public awareness of the problem, but these are alarming statistics. India's new Prime Minister, I.K. Gujral, says that along with poverty, education, and infrastructure, population is an important issue. Yet many are skeptical he will do anything about it. For years, population control, one of the most pressing issues facing India today, has been taboo: Politicians fear losing votes by advocating unpopular family planning policies.
HEROISM. If Gujral can craft a coherent policy, he could do much to reduce rural poverty in India. According to the International Monetary Fund, India under current policies will take 112 years to close by half its income gap with the world's advanced nations. "What is needed is demonstrable political will, and a massive mobilization of private agencies and the private sector," says Avabai Wadia, founder of the Family Planning Association of India.
Given India's checkered past, that will take a heroic political act. In the 1970s, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's son, Sanjay, outraged the public by ordering forcible sterilizations of large numbers of people with his mother's blessing. Since then, administrations concerned with their political survival have steered clear of the subject. Family planning, female literacy programs, and sterilization have made progress in nearly halving the birth rate from 6 per woman in 1951 to 3.4 today. But India is still far above its target rate of 2.1. Gujral's predecessor, Deve Gowda, had refused to discuss the topic entirely, saying it was "too sensitive." And although Gujral has said he wants to tackle population growth, the official party manifesto of his United Front coalition does not list family planning as a goal.
There are recent signs of new attempts to tackle the growth problem. Some $1.2 billion has been pledged by the World Bank, European Union, Japan, and other donors over the next five years for population programs, but government participation is the key to their success. India currently spends $420 million per year, or 50 cents per capita, on family planning. However, critics say most of that money is inefficiently used, with 70% spent on the salaries of workers who are poorly trained. Even the Secretary of the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare Y.N. Chaturvedi says this year's budget is not enough, and he welcomes participation from Indian industry.
Some corporations have included family planning in their employee benefits programs, but examples are few. Private organizations including the Family Planning Assn. have made some progress, but they provide just 20% of the services and say the government views them as competitors, not allies.
BAD EXAMPLE. A number of factors exacerbate the growth problem. Indians are living an average of 10 years longer than in the 1970s, to age 60, because of better health care. In addition, Indians tend to have bigger families because of a high infant mortality rate of 8%, a bias toward male children, the need for extra farm hands in a heavily agricultural society, and the tradition of offspring providing for parents in old age.
Although research shows Indian women don't want large families, says Pravin Vasaria, director of the Institute of Economic Growth, access to planning centers is a problem: India comprises 600,000 villages split into 1 million hamlets in often remote and hilly terrain. Many in government set a bad example. Laloo Prasad Yadav, the chief minister of the northeastern state of Bihar--one of India's poorest, with an average of 4.5 children--has 12 children and proudly encourages others to emulate him.
Some states are trying to counter big families: The state of Rajasthan has passed a law whereby village council members lose their seats if they have more than three children. The southern states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have successfully lowered the average to two children per family. What's needed now is for India's politicians to make such efforts the national norm. Meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking.

Dear Dolores,
Many thanks to Ms. S.C. Thompson and Ms. Nancy Dommes for their contributions to MAC perspectives. There are many more perspectives, Dolores, and your journalism is well-qualified to present the full considerations of all residents, their neighborhoods and community groups, within the 94507 boundaries of the proposed Alamo MAC.
I am quite sure neighbors will look forward to such writings and TDW's broader view of MAC considerations.

Dear Mrs. Thompson,
Here's the way it works:
Whenever you vote against something, you are also voting for something else. In this case, when you voted AGAINST incorporation you also voted FOR continued Contra Costa County governance of Alamo. A MAC is a natural result of the county governance that you voted for.
You are concerned that you will not have a say in who is selected to be on a MAC, yet you turned down a chance to directly elect an Alamo Town Council.

Dear Dolores,
As you know, I celebrate many individuals in Alamo. Diane Barley, Roger Smith, Karen McPherson, Brad Waite, and many more. One very bright, lively and exceptionally human individual, Nancy Dommes, receives the applause of many neighbors and me for her efforts to meld Alamo into a community. Her efforts for incorporation, R-7A parks and recreation, and community groups have been well-considered and focused on the best result for community emergence among the diverse positions of our residents.
Nancy, in her LTTE, describes reality of a MAC: "By instituting a MAC, the county can excuse itself from countless Alamo committee meetings and interacting with disgruntled residents. Let the MAC do it. Let the MAC be the liaison and make it easy on the county. The people get a straw court, the county has less work, and in the end, the supervisor does whatever he or she pleases. A MAC has no power except advisory and no funding except through the supervisor. The supervisor can accept or veto recommendations at will."
Such a precise view of reality should gain commentary in this forum:
#1 - Does a MAC change any intention, agenda, policy, position or action by district 3? Is it just a volunteer extension of the district 3 staff?
#2 - Does a MAC change our majority's lack of relationship with district 3 or any desire to have a relationship with district 3?
#3 - Anticipating who would be chosen by district 3 to be MAC council members, will the MAC simply be strangers to our neighborhoods? Is there any action a MAC council member could take to gain greater community support?
#4 - In review by CCC-BOS Internal Operations Committee, what changes to CCC-MAC policies could make CCC-MACs more trusted and relational with the communities they serve? And how should our community deliver those policy advisories?
#5 - In State organizations' review current MAC legislative statutes, what further definition would make MACs more a functional part of our communities and regions? Should nominations and removal processes be specified in State legislative statutes? Should our community ask Joan Buchanan for support of changes in MAC legislative statutes so our community can be better served by a MAC?
Let hear everyone's questions and concerns.

Very good!
I've come to the conclusion that any Hal-A-Post is excessive and repetitive. Why not just create a short compendium of past Hal-A-Posts and put it as a clickable link on the menu bar. That way folks can read them whenever they want and they won't get in the way of real discussion.
I offer this wonderful suggestion in the spirit of neighborly jocularity from the neighborhoods and e-exchanges (or was that e-chains?)
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Several members of the group will present material they have published or are presently working on. Scheduled to appear are Steve Yeager who recently had his book "Ian and The Woodens" published, Shirley Golub and Estelle Feldman. The latter presently leads the group.
The material offered to the public will include remembrances of Rockaway, a play in progress, young adult historical fiction and several other forms of writing.
The public is invited to Ciro's to listen and ask questions at the end of the readings, and to enjoy some pastry courtesy of RMAC. As in the past, since there is limited space, everyone is asked to bring his or her own chair.

Park Si Yeon Transforms into a Cold and Serious Reporter
Hoping to be the next Barbara Walters, Park Si Yeon transformed into a cold-hearted reporter for KBS' upcoming drama Nice Guy.
The photo stills released on August 14 revealed Park Si Yeon as a serious reporter in the role of Han Jae Hee, who is willing to give up love to become a famous anchorwoman.
In order to prepare for the role, Park Si Yeon carefully watched reporters on TV news and even recorded her own reports, showing much passion and dedication for the drama.
Park Si Yeon will be playing the ex-girlfriend who dumps Song Joong Ki, causing him to use another woman to get revenge.
Nice Guy is scheduled to premiere sometime in September, following the conclusion of Bridal Mask.

Georgia Tech offensive line coach Todd Spencer has resigned after he violated NCAA recruiting rules by sending text messages to recruits, the school announced Wednesday.
The NCAA prohibits all electronic correspondence to recruits with the exception of faxes and emails.
The violation was discovered by an internal investigation within the athletic department, and coach Paul Johnson recommended to athletic director Dan Radakovich that Spencer be fired. Spencer resigned, though, before the investigation had been completed, according to a release from the school.
Radakovich says the violation was "inexplicable" after the NCAA put Georgia Tech on four years' probation last year and took away its 2009 ACC championship.
The NCAA said the school should have declared receiver Demaryius Thomas ineligible after he accepted gifts from a former player who was working for an agent.
"I find it inexplicable that an employee would violate these rules with regard to text messaging after our ongoing focus to educate our personnel on NCAA rules and regulations," Radakovich said in a prepared statement. "Actions of this type simply are not acceptable in our programs and will not be tolerated. I have directed our compliance staff to continue to review the text and phone records of all of our coaches on an ongoing basis as is the mandate and expectation of Georgia Tech and the NCAA."
Georgia Tech has reported its findings to the NCAA enforcement staff, kept them advised throughout the investigation and will submit a final report of its internal investigation. Spencer was suspended and placed on administrative leave by Radakovich while the investigation into the coach's phone records was under way.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the NCAA penalized Georgia Tech for two of three texts, which were sent in November. The third was a text from Johnson, who thought he was replying to a text from a team member, not a recruit. The NCAA then banned Georgia Tech's coaching staff from initiating telephone or written communication with the recruit for four weeks, starting in late December.
Heather Dinich is a college football writer for ESPN.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Nat Gas futures remains above $3.50 support level
The spot futures contract settled above the $3.50/mmbtu resistance level on Monday for the first time since the second half of January. Last time the market settled above the upper range level it remained above resistance (now support) for three trading sessions before falling strongly and moving back inside the range. Thus with a lot less winter left now than the last time it broke out to the upside I would like to see prices remain above the $3.50/mmbtu level for several more days before declaring that the break out is for real this time.
All of the above said the market is clearly trading as if it wants to work higher and as such the new levels are $3.50/mmbtu for support with the next upside resistance level around $3.66/mmbtu. The market has moved higher eight out of the last eleven trading days and barring any negative surprises from this week's inventory report the market sentiment is likely to push prices possibly up to the next resistance area. I am adjusting my view to cautiously bullish as long as the spot contract remains above the $3.50/mmbtu level.
The latest NOAA temperature forecasts are mixed but still mostly supportive. The shorter term six to ten day forecast show some moderation in temperatures to more normal levels along most of the eastern part of the US while the eight to fourteen day forecast is projecting a return to colder than normal temperatures along most of the US. Remember this is the end of the winter season and cold temps this time of the year are not nearly as severe as in the heart of the winter heating season (Jan/Feb). So yes the inventory withdrawals are looking like they will be larger than last year and the more normal five year average into the third week of March. However, it will then be spring and temperatures are likely to continue to moderate as we enter the lower demand shoulder season.
This week the EIA will release its inventory on its normal schedule and time... Thursday March 7th at 10:30 AM. This week I am projecting an average withdrawal of 140 BCF from inventory. My projection for this week is shown in the following table and is based on a week that experienced an above normal level of Nat Gas heating related demand. My projection compares to last year's net withdrawal of 92 BCF and the normal five year net withdrawal for the same week of 107 BCF. Bottom line the inventory deficit will widen modestly this week versus last year while the surplus will narrow compared to the five year average if the actual numbers are in sync with my projections. This week's net withdrawal will be bullish when compared to the historical data and as of today the market seems to starting to price that outcome into the futures market.
If the actual EIA data is in line with my projections the year over year deficit will widen to about 356 BCF. The surplus versus the five year average for the same week will come in around 275 BCF. This will be a bullish weekly fundamental snapshot if the actual data is in line with my projection. The early industry projections are coming in a range of 120 BCF to about a 160 BCF net withdrawal with the market consensus still forming.
Oil prices are recovering in overnight trading after starting the trading week dominated by selling. The oil complex has been under pressure since the whole complex technically breached their respective support levels and entered into a short term downtrend. RBOB gasoline is the only commodity in the complex that has not declined as much as the rest of the other commodities indicating that there is still some underlying support as the refinery sector approaches the main part of the refinery maintenance season.
The gains in the complex overnight are mostly driven by Brent as the Brent pipeline system remains closed for the third day in a row after a leak was discovered on March 2 on the Cormorant Alpha platform according to the operator of the platform. At the moment the reaction to the pipeline problem in the North Sea is not resulting in a major strengthening of oil prices rather the reaction has been relatively muted with prices for both Brent and WTI actually declining yesterday.
I view the gains so far this morning as more short covering off of the pipeline news rather than any surge of new buying interest coming into the market. The spot Brent contract is also finding some light support as the technical support level of around $109.50/bbl has now held for the third trading session in a row. In addition the spot WTI contract breached and failed to stay below the psychological support level of $90/bbl ($88 to $89/bbl is a firmer technical support area) slightly improving the current negative market sentiment . At the moment I cannot say with any degree of confidence that today's moves are definitely a directional change in the underlying trend. For now I still view the price move in the oil complex as a short covering rally in a downward trend. Certainly if the situation in the North Sea remains an issue for an extended period of time higher prices would follow.
The economic data out of Europe this morning is biased to the positive side pushing equity markets to over four year highs. The EU services PMI declined less than estimated but it did come in lower than January's number. In addition EU retail sales actually increased in January by 1.2% percent versus December's 0.8 percent decline. A sign that the consumer is starting to spend again. In the UK the services PMI actually increased in February to 51.8 versus the consensus estimate of 51.
In China the government kept it growth target unchanged at 7.5 percent for 2013 as the new government will follow the current policy of moderate growth rather than looking for the double digit growth rates seen earlier in the decade. The government also cut its inflation target from 4 percent to 3.5 percent suggesting the government has less tolerance for inflation led price surges. The new leader takes charge at the end of the country's annual parliament meeting which began today. I view the targets as having been set with a view that the likelihood of achieving them is very high and thus helping the new leader to start his tenure on a positive note.
I am upgrading my Nat Gas view to cautiously bullish for as long as the market remians above the $3.50/mmbtu level. As I have been discussing for weeks the direction of Nat Gas prices are primarily dependent on the actual and forecasted weather pattern now that we are still in the heart of the winter heating season and currently those forecasts have turned a tad more bullish at the moment.
I am maintaining my view of the entire complex at cautiously bearish. That said I am continuing to fly the caution flag as any additional equity market corrections will impact oil prices in much the same way... another round of profit taking selling as we experienced yesterday.
Markets are higher as shown in the following table.

Australian Shepherd adoption. Many of these agency's seem to be a business. Do any of you have had a similar problem?
Very high fees and pitches to donate while showing no dogs for adoption or being cared for. Also when contacted very vague about number of dogs adopted out.

You could go to petfinder.com
Along the left of the page you can pick the breed of dog you are looking for. Type in your zip code and the search will find dogs in your area. These should be legitimate rescue organizations.
Good luck in your search.
Member 201551 answered on 12/25/11. Helpful? / 0
I'm assuming by high fees you mean like $200, $400 and such? That is typical for a rescue. It covers the cost they had while caring for the dogs. A rescue keeps their dogs in foster homes, unlike a shelter.
With everything else you mentioned, though, I'd go to another rescue.

Hauss Vegas HTML version
Reader Warning
I'll come right out and say it; this book is definitely not for
everyone. There is strong language, sexual content, and moments that
will make you cringe. During writing I even had to stop on several
occasions and take a break because of the toll some situations in the book
were taking on me.
This is my idea of what a real zombie outbreak would be like in
our world as we know it. Tensions are high and people are on edge.
Brash decisions are made. Many of my proof readers stopped half way
through the book because a certain situation had resonated with them in a
very powerful way. There is no shame in putting the book down.
Hauss Vegas is dark horror. It is meant to make your stomach
churn and force you into discomfort. If you are okay with that, then
welcome! Welcome to The New Vegas.

You never know when inspiration will strike. That's certainly the story of Babara Paget and Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day, which will celebrate its 9th anniversary this year on June 5. Collette Torunyan sat down with her to learn more about her organization and its expansion.
The idea of starting a program like Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day all came to Barbara Paget, founder and chair, when she was on the treadmill more than 10 years ago watching NBC Today.
"Let me tell you I don't remember a lot of things, but I remember this very distinctly. The Today show's travel guru Peter Greenberg was on and said that he would not be speaking about travel deals but about a spa he recently went to in California. So many of their clients were being diagnosed with cancer that they had a complimentary spa day. It was that day that I pointed at the TV and knew that's what I wanted to do."
And in 2003, she made this a reality. Starting at a local spa in Highland Park, Illinois the event has grown to a nationwide affair with more than 500 salons and spas participating.
Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day is truly a unique cause for cancer patients and survivors. It offers complimentary services at salons and spas available for men, women, and children. "Cancer is expensive and I don't believe in making patients pay for anything. This gives many people the opportunity to give back and brighten up someone's spirit without paying," says Paget.
After 3years of holding the event at one salon, Paget got in contact with haircare franchise Great Clips who were eager to hop on board, as well as beauty schools such as Pivot Point Academy.
"By having these franchise salons and beauty schools involved we're able to target the most financially strapped patients and we want to make an effort to reach as many people as possible."
From contacting the salons to constructing the website, Paget is a one-woman organization that is even getting attention from Congress, currently in the midst of trying to get a resolution passed to recognize the first Tuesday of June as Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day. With more and more salons participating everyday as Cancer Survivor Beauty and Support Day, June 5, 2012, fast approaches, Paget's ultimate goal of having 12 million cancer patients aware of the event is quickly becoming a reality.

Even though New York brand Supreme is certainly more of a Highsnobiety topic, we cannot deny that we also take a look every season at what the brand is bringing out and most of the time we come across a couple of items that we do love and cannot resist reporting on.
The brand just presented their new Autumn/Winter 2011 Collection today, which is coming to stores August 27th, as well as to their soon to open London flagship store on September 22nd. The one item that we could not take our eyes off, was the leopard lined trench coat. Simple appearance in three classic colorways, yet the small Supreme box logo pin on the corduroy collar and the leopard lining, which can also be removed. Really dope!

Walking around Buenos Aires, you can barely go a couple blocks without seeing someone drinking mate, and so for this quiet day, we too, take a sip. Get your cup in today's photo gallery.
On the streets of Buenos Aires, resting on his car's passenger door, a cab driver takes a break from sipping on a metal straw and lazily asks, "Necesitan taxi?" A lack of an answer does not matter – in fact, you'd probably be troubling him if you did take him up on the offer. He's drinking mate. With the trademark cup in hand, and the requisite thermos snug under his arm, all else that any mate drinker really needs is, well, more time.
It's hard to go a couple street blocks, or venture past a park, and not see someone relaxingly sipping on mate – seemingly the South American drink of choice. Despite its ubiquity, a week into our stay in Buenos Aires, we had yet to partake in a round of drinking the earthy liquid.
"You still haven't tried mate?" our Argentine friend Luisa Novelli asked us with a face that reflected a degree of shock. Showing true Argentine hospitality, Luisa and her friend Macerena Munoz showed up the next day, mate in hand.
The tea is the product of the yerba plant, found in the western flat lands of Argentina and central-South America. Both the leaves and stems are crushed and dried to form a flaky mix that looks much like dried oregano. The tea is so abundant that a half-kilo (one pound) costs little more than seven Argentine pesos (a shy over two dollars).
Three accessories are required to bring the tea to life. The bowl, a cup formed out of a hollowed out gourd is the most common version. Some mate drinkers may take it a step further, drinking out of a hollow cow's hoof. We, luckily, were drinking out of the gourd variant tonight.
Before adding mate, a chunky metal straw, called a bombilla, is placed in the cup. Either perforated with small holes or a spring like bottom, the base filters the tealeaves from being sucked up.
Once the straw is in, mate is packed into the cup. While the tea we're accustomed to drinking back home develops its flavor after being steeped in hot water for an extended period of time, mate hits perfection moments after being doused in liquid – and that's the reason why a thermos is always near by.
Before handing us our first cup of mate, Macerena explained the etiquette that comes with drinking with others, which really consists of one rule, say "thank you" only when you've had your fill. Argentines are likely to offer mate to newly made friends. Their brethren across the river in Uruguay, will most likely not. Either way, it's not exactly polite to refuse an offer at a sip.
We had been advised that the drink was an acquired taste. Our first cup was a cold version using lemon juice, perfect for the hot Argentine summer. The mix of the earthy taste of mate and sharp bite of lemon juice reminded us of a perfect blend of lemonade and ice tea. Rounds and rounds of the drink were shared. Brian and I joked about how we we're going to make the Argentine style of mate drinking fashionable stateside.
With the cold lemon juice tapped, we moved on to the hot version.
The heat pulls out the true flavor of mate. In the states, when "mate" is sipped, it comes in the familiar tea bag form, with enough water to temper its taste. Here, with a cup packed full of mate, the strong and bitter taste comes out in full force. And it's a force that we regrettably were not up to tonight. Both Brian and I discretely held our grimaces. After politely accepting two hot cups, we handed back the bowl with a smile, this time saying "thank you" to ensure another cup would not be passed back.

Substructures and galaxy orientations in clusters II. Cluster Abell 14F. W. Baier1, W. Godlowski2 and H. T. MacGillivray3

2 Jagellonian University, Astronomical Observatory, ul. Orla 171, 30-244 Krakow, Poland
3 Royal Observatory, Blackford Hill, Edinburgh, EH9 3HJ, Scotland, UK
(Received 22 December 2000 / Accepted 27 February 2003)
We present an investigation of the Abell 14 galaxy cluster, including a discussion of subclustering, some aspects concerning its evolution, as well as an analysis of galaxy orientations in the cluster region. We confirm the previous results showing evidence for subclustering in this cluster obtained from studies of galaxy distributions. In this light, our aim has been to examine non-random effects in the galaxy orientations in rich clusters, with particular regard to the presence of subclustering. Our results do provide evidence for non-random alignment of the galaxies in Abell 14 and confirm the presence of subclustering within this cluster. However, the direction of the alignment is different from that (we) found for Abell 754 (Godlowski et al. 1998). We continue our investigations by studying other clusters in a similar manner. The results will be published in the next paper.
