Daemon Thompson has been San Fernando's resident handyman this season, doing a little bit of everything for the Tigers to help them reach the City Section Div. II football final.
Need a dominant running back? Thompson has rushed for 1,313 yards, averaging 9.4 per carry with 21 touchdowns -- three from 75 yards -- entering the game at 3 p.m. today against Valley Mission League rival Canoga Park (9-4) at East L.A. College.
A big-play receiver? Thompson has 32 receptions for 648 yards -- averaging more than 20 yards per catch out of the backfield -- and five more touchdowns.
A shut-down cornerback? Thompson has 41 tackles, two interceptions and nine pass deflections.
How about a game changer on defense or special teams? Thompson has that covered, too, scoring four touchdowns on returns including a key 73-yard interception last week in a 23-13 semifinal win at top-seeded South East.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior is San Fernando's most dynamic performer, and if Thompson can come through in the clutch today, the Tigers figure to have a good chance to win a City championship for the first time since back-to-back titles in 1974 and '75.
"Daemon is a really good sparkplug. Anytime we need him, he comes through for the team," San Fernando receiver Jose Camargo said. "That touchdown return against South East is just what we needed. He's a playmaker."
Thompson is cherishing every moment of his senior season after being limited to 33 carries last year because of an ankle injury.
"I wish I could have helped the team more last year," Thompson said. "I tried, but I just couldn't do it. I enjoy playing football so much. I mean, I love this game, and I've been doing it since I'm 5 years old, so wherever I can help the team, that's what I'm going to do.
"Against South East, someone had to step up and make a big play for momentum."
Thompson is healthy, and instead of the Tigers trudging through a three-win season like the past two years, they're 11-2, including a 36-28 league win Oct. 26 over Canoga Park.
With Thompson leading the way, San Fernando is aiming to knock off the Hunters one more time.
"Because of his injury last year, I think Daemon kind of has a chip on his shoulder," San Fernando coach Robert Garcia said. "He has always been such a humble kid. He didn't talk much, but this year he's talking, and he's leading the team. I know I can always rely on him to make a big play."
Thompson is following in a tradition. He's the latest in a long line of talented San Fernando backs including Charles White -- the only Valley alum ever to win a Heisman Trophy -- along with Kevin Williams, Kenny Moore, Anthony Davis, Chris Richards, Kevin Williams, Anthony Gibson, Will Settle, Robert McClanahan and many others from the glory years when San Fernando was regularly among California's top programs.
Lavelle Thompson, Daemon's father, was also a productive San Fernando tailback back in the day. The elder Thompson figures to be among long-time friends today when the Tigers try to bring home a championship trophy for the first time in 37 seasons.
"From what I hear, my dad was pretty good," Daemon Thompson said. "He still comes to all the games, and he still has a lot of school spirit. I mean, he even drives and black and gold (Dodge) Charger."
There was a time when a drop in class from Div. I would have been unthinkable, but it's a new generation with a lot more parity in the City Section, so a Div. II championship would be a huge step in the right direction.
"It's been a long time since we've been to a final," Thompson said. "Thirty-seven years is a long time, not just for me but for everyone. There's a lot of history here."
And Thompson wants to help San Fernando make history again.
"We're going to come really hard for this game, and we've had a good week of practice," Thompson said. "We want to keep it going."

Leslie Frazier remembers being asked repeatedly about his job security just one year ago. With him now leading the way during one of the franchise's best improvements from one year to next, the sentiments surrounding his job are much more festive this holiday season.
Frazier and company will set a franchise record for the highest increase in wins from one season to the next if they beat the Packers at Mall of America Field Sunday. After a 3-13 season, even the unflappable Frazier is smiling more these days.
Frazier deserves it. He took the Vikings through one of their toughest stretches in recent history. They had fired head coach Brad Childress after 10 games and released Randy Moss midseason on their way to a 6-10 record in 2010. Frazier was on the hook for a 3-3 record during that stretch, but the following season, with the franchise in full-fledged rebuilding mode, the team managed only three wins.
Through it all, Frazier stayed consistent in his message to the public and the players: They were improving and better times were ahead. Of course, with predictions of a losing season on the 2012 horizon, that wasn't always apparent to those outside and even some within the organization. Linebacker Chad Greenway said he started to believe a playoff contender was possible when he saw the talent in this year's rookie class.
"I think when we got to training camp and realized the job that (general manager Rick Spielman) and the guys in the front office had done with our draft, I think that was really the key," Greenway said. "Those guys have been huge for us, especially defensively just talking about our back end. The injuries we had last year, we were really isolated in what we could play just because of that and lack of experience and injuries.
"The way those guys have taken to what we're trying to get done and just become one of the guys now, obviously they're not rookies anymore and that to me was kind of the … as a veteran like, 'wow,' we really can get this done. It might be some ugly times, but it's a long season. If they can respond we'd have a chance. So here we are now."
Both of the Vikings' first-round picks – left tackle Matt Kalil and safety Harrison Smith – have started every game and played nearly every snap. Others, like record-setting kicker Blair Walsh, cornerback Josh Robinson, tight end Rhett Ellison and receiver Jarius Wright have also played important roles.
Frazier consistently points to the participation of the players in the offseason program as the time he realized they had a chance to be competitive. Most outside the organization wrongly predicted a losing record. They are guaranteed a winning record (currently at 9-6) and have the opportunity to win their final game and get into the playoffs with one of the youngest teams in the league.
"For us to be on the cusp of getting there? It's satisfying in some ways, but until you actually make it happen it's hard to put your mind in that frame," Frazier said, offering more consistency in his message. "We really have to focus on this ballgame, winning this game, and then you can think a little bit about what you have accomplished. But until you get that accomplished, it's hard to even think about what's ahead."
During lean times, fans have often criticized Frazier for being emotionless on the sideline, equating that to cluelessness. Hall of Famer Deion Sanders doesn't see it that way.
"Leslie Frazier should get mentioned for NFL Coach of the Year," said Sanders, now part of NFL Network.
Greenway further confirmed that the perception of Frazier as a calm and collected coach is reality with the players.
"I wouldn't call him a Knute Rockne speech-giver, but again, the message that he preaches to us from Day One is the same message he preaches now. That's why I say his speeches are consistent," Greenway said. "We know as athletes what we're getting from him and we know what's expected of us. I think at this point in the season, it's all about just trying to go out there and get it done, together. Sometimes it's ugly, sometimes it's pretty, sometimes it's just get the job done. But we know his approach and I think that helps us."
The high praise and sharp criticism that comes with the typical NFL season seems to roll off Frazier's back, too. Asked about his sideline demeanor earlier this year, he said he knows the perception but isn't about to change who he is.
"I never have doubted what we were capable of doing here. And I understood where we were a season ago, coming off a lockout, and some of the things that were in place," Frazier said. "Having an offseason, having the participation by our players that we did; I mean, when you have 95 percent participation here in Minnesota? That's a big deal when you're trying to change the culture of a team."
Frazier knew his team was going to be young this year, and Spielman endorsed Frazier and his staff as good teachers and developers of talent. That's been a needed approach with 16 players contributing from the last two drafts.
Not much gets Frazier to waver from his steady demeanor, but Greenway said the angriest Frazier gets is when players scuffle in practice.
"He's more of a thinker, if you've noticed. If he's got something on his mind, he's definitely the kind of guy who thinks about it and will do one of these (thinking gestures). … But when we see him we try and go over and shake him up a little bit, like, 'It's going to be OK.'"
Usually it's Frazier assuring others that it will be OK, and this year – despite the ups and downs – it has turned out OK.
"Every year is different. Every year is different. Who knows what's going to happen next year?" Frazier said. "But … I didn't doubt we could get it turned around."

Sean Whent '92 is sworn in as interim Oakland Police Chief. (Photo: Sam Wolson, SFGate.com)
CSUEB grads are top cops in Oakland and Walnut Creek
- May 15, 2013 5:00am
Two Cal State East Bay alumni were tapped for top law enforcement positions in the East Bay. Sean Whent '92, criminal justice, is the acting chief for the Oakland Police Department and Steve Skinner '94, master of public administration, has been appointed interim police chief for the city of Walnut Creek.
Whent most recently served as deputy chief and commander of the bureau of risk management which oversaw the training section, Internal Affairs division, Office of Inspector General, the criminalistics division and the personnel Assessment Unit. "Although my appointment is interim, I pledge to own the role and assignment as if it were not...," Whent said in an NBC Bay Area news report. "I have been part of the team that has worked with national experts in the fields of crime reduction and enforcement strategies to develop a hot-off-the press plan for tackling robberies, burglaries, and shootings. I am confident that we can implement the recommendations in that plan in short order."
Skinner, a 25-year Walnut Creek police veteran, will serve until a new chief is in place. "I am very honored and excited to be given the opportunity to help transition our police department into the next generation of leadership, and I am looking forward to working with both members of our department and the community as we move the (department) into the future," Skinner said in an email to the Bay Area News Group.
Congrats to Chief Whent and Chief Skinner!

Via Amanda Marcotte, a data analysis at the New York Times reveals disturbing gendered biases on what parents search on Google about their children. (Example query = "Is my daughter ugly?") Some key findings:
- For every 10 queries about boys being overweight, there were 17 about girls being overweight
- For every 25 queries about boys being gifted, there were 10 about girls being gifted
- For every 10 queries about boys being ugly, there were 26 about girls being ugly
Now, there has been some interesting commentary about this but I'll spare you. I think society's shittiness is documented pretty well here and stands without argument. But I want to point out an opportunity.
For a lot of search queries, Google doesn't hesitate to give an answer directly, above or beside the search results. For example:
Or even this:
In 2014, Google will only expand this functionality. So if there are any Google search engineers reading this, some shitty parental queries can be answered directly:
You're welcome, Google.

South Butler School District considers tax increase
Property owners in the South Butler School District are looking at a possible 2.1 percent real estate tax increase for next school year.
The school board will vote Wednesday on a proposed $35.6 million budget that calls for a tax hike of about $42 per year for the average household.
The budget for the current school year is $33.2 million.
Tax millage is 93.275 mills.
Officials blamed a 21 percent, state-mandated increase in the public school retirement system contributions for the bulk of the increase. That amounts to $1.5 million more for the retirement fund.
An $95,500 increase in legal services (4.3 percent) is budgeted because of new teacher contract negotiations.
Transportation costs will be increased 7.6 percent, or $200,000, with the need to carry students to the new North Catholic High School in Cranberry.
In an effort to cut costs, six of the 12 teachers retiring won't be replaced, the administrators' salaries will be frozen and substitute teachers for 2014-15 will be staffed by the Kelly Agency.
Business manager Debbie Brandstetter praised Berkheimer and Associates for increasing the amount of wage tax collected from school district residents.

Dictionary Definition
Satyagraha n : the form of nonviolent resistance initiated in India by Mahatma Gandhi in order to oppose British rule and to hasten political reforms
Extensive Definition
Satyagraha (Sanskrit: सत्याग्रह satyāgraha) is a philosophy and practice of nonviolent resistance developed by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also known as "Mahatma" Gandhi). Gandhi deployed satyagraha in campaigns for Indian independence and also during his earlier struggles in South Africa. Satyagraha theory also influenced Martin Luther King, Jr. during the campaigns he led during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
Meaning of the term
Satya is the Sanskrit word for "truth"; agraha means "firmness". The two words combined may be rendered as "the firmness of truth." The term was popularized during the Indian Independence Movement, and is used in many Indian languages including Hindi. It can also mean "truth force."
Gandhi described it as follows:
Its root meaning is holding onto truth, hence truth-force. I have also called it love-force or soul-force. In the application of satyagraha, I discovered in the earliest stages that pursuit of truth did not admit of violence being inflicted on one's opponent but that he must be weaned from error by patience and sympathy. For what appears to be truth to the one may appear to be error to the other. And patience means self-suffering. So the doctrine came to mean vindication of truth, not by infliction of suffering on the opponent, but on oneself.
Origins of SatyagrahaGandhi coined the term Satyagraha to describe his philosophy of nonviolent resistance. The concept was influenced by the notion of ahimsa in the Hindu Upanishads and the tenets of Jainism, as well as various theorists of nonviolent resistance and nonresistance including Jesus (particularly the Sermon on the Mount), the Imam Hussein, Leo Tolstoy (particularly The Kingdom of God Is Within You), John Ruskin (particularly Unto This Last), and Henry David Thoreau (particularly Civil Disobedience).
Speaking of his initial satyagraha campaign in South Africa, he said:
None of us knew what name to give to our movement. I then used the term "passive resistance" in describing it. I did not quite understand the implications of "passive resistance" as I called it. I only knew that some new principle had come into being. As the struggle advanced, the phrase "passive resistance" gave rise to confusion and it appeared shameful to permit this great struggle to be known only by an English name. Again, that foreign phrase could hardly pass as current coin among the community. A small prize was therefore announced in Indian Opinion to be awarded to the reader who invented the best designation for our struggle. We thus received a number of suggestions. The meaning of the struggle had been then fully discussed in Indian Opinion and the competitors for the prize had fairly sufficient material to serve as a basis for their exploration. Shri Maganlal Gandhi was one of the competitors and he suggested the word sadagraha, meaning "firmness in a good cause." I liked the word, but it did not fully represent the whole idea I wished it to connote. I therefore corrected it to "satyagraha". Truth (satya) implies love, and firmness (agraha) engenders and therefore serves as a synonym for force. I thus began to call the Indian movement Satyagraha, that is to say, the Force which is born of Truth and Love or non-violence, and gave up the use of the phrase "passive resistance", in connection with it, so much so that even in English writing we often avoided it and used instead the word "satyagraha" itself or some other equivalent English phrase.
Contrast to "passive resistance"Gandhi further distinguished between his ideas and passive resistance in the following letter: "I have drawn the distinction between passive resistance as understood and practised in the West and satyagraha before I had evolved the doctrine of the latter to its full logical and spiritual extent. I often used "passive resistance" and "satyagraha" as synonymous terms: but as the doctrine of satyagraha developed, the expression "passive resistance" ceases even to be synonymous, as passive resistance has admitted of violence as in the case of suffragettes and has been universally acknowledged to be a weapon of the weak. Moreover, passive resistance does not necessarily involve complete adherence to truth under every circumstance. Therefore it is different from satyagraha in three essentials: Satyagraha is a weapon of the strong; it admits of no violence under any circumstance whatever; and it ever insists upon truth. I think I have now made the distinction perfectly clear."
Satyagraha theory
Defining successIn traditional violent and nonviolent conflict, the goal is to defeat the opponent or frustrate the opponent's objectives, or to meet one's own objectives despite the efforts of the opponent to obstruct these. In satyagraha, by contrast, these are not the goals. "The Satyagrahi's object is to convert, not to coerce, the wrong-doer." Success is defined as cooperating with the opponent to meet a just end that the opponent is unwittingly obstructing. The opponent must be converted, at least as far as to stop obstructing the just end, for this cooperation to take place.
Means and endsThe theory of satyagraha sees means and ends as inseparable. The means used to obtain an end are wrapped up and attached to that end. Therefore, it is contradictory to try to use unjust means to obtain justice or to try to use violence to obtain peace. As Gandhi wrote: "They say, 'means are, after all, means'. I would say, 'means are, after all, everything'. As the means so the end..."
Gandhi used an example to explain this:
If I want to deprive you of your watch, I shall certainly have to fight for it; if I want to buy your watch, I shall have to pay for it; and if I want a gift, I shall have to plead for it; and, according to the means I employ, the watch is stolen property, my own property, or a donation.
Gandhi rejected the idea that injustice should, or even could, be fought against "by any means necessary" — if you use violent, coercive, unjust means, whatever ends you produce will necessarily embed that injustice. To those who preached violence and called nonviolent actionists cowards, he replied: "I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence....I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour....But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment."
Satyagraha versus Duragraha
The essence of Satyagraha is that it seeks to eliminate antagonisms without harming the antagonists themselves, as opposed to violent resistance, which is meant to cause harm to the antagonist. A Satyagrahi therefore does not seek to end or destroy the relationship with the antagonist, but instead seeks to transform or "purify" it to a higher level. A euphemism sometimes used for Satyagraha is that it is a "silent force" or a "soul force" (a term also used by Martin Luther King Jr. during his famous "I Have a Dream" speech). It arms the individual with moral power rather than physical power. Satyagraha is also termed a "universal force," as it essentially "makes no distinction between kinsmen and strangers, young and old, man and woman, friend and foe."
Gandhi contrasted satyagraha (holding on to truth) with "duragraha" (holding on by force), as in protest meant more to harass than enlighten opponents. He wrote: "There must be no impatience, no barbarity, no insolence, no undue pressure. If we want to cultivate a true spirit of democracy, we cannot afford to be intolerant. Intolerance betrays want of faith in one's cause."
Civil disobedience and non-cooperation as practised under Satyagraha are based on the "law of suffering", a doctrine that the endurance of suffering is a means to an end. This end usually implies a moral upliftment or progress of an individual or society. Therefore, non-cooperation in Satyagraha is in fact a means to secure the cooperation of the opponent consistently with truth and justice.
Satyagraha in large-scale conflictWhen using satyagraha in a large-scale political conflict involving civil disobedience, Gandhi believed that the satyagrahis must undergo training to ensure discipline. He wrote that "only when a people have proved their active loyalty by obeying the many laws of the State that they acquire the right of Civil Disobedience."
This obedience has to be not merely grudging, but extraordinary: …an honest, respectable man will not suddenly take to stealing whether there is a law against stealing or not, but this very man will not feel any remorse for failure to observe the rule about carrying headlights on bicycles after dark.… But he would observe any obligatory rule of this kind, if only to escape the inconvenience of facing a prosecution for a breach of the rule. Such compliance is not, however, the willing and spontaneous obedience that is required of a Satyagrahi.
Principles for Satyagrahis
Gandhi envisioned satyagraha as not only a tactic to be used in acute political struggle, but as a universal solvent for injustice and harm. He felt that it was equally applicable to large-scale political struggle and to one-on-one interpersonal conflicts and that it should be taught to everyone.
He founded the Sabarmati Ashram to teach satyagraha. He asked satyagrahis to follow the following principles:
- Nonviolence (ahimsa)
- Truth — this includes honesty, but goes beyond it to mean living fully in accord with and in devotion to that which is true
- Non-stealing
- Chastity (brahmacharya) — this includes sexual chastity, but also the subordination of other sensual desires to the primary devotion to truth
- Non-possession (not the same as poverty)
- Body-labor or bread-labor
- Control of the palate
- Fearlessness
- Equal respect for all religions
- Economic strategy such as boycotts (swadeshi)
- Freedom from untouchability
On another occasion, he listed seven rules as "essential for every Satyagrahi in India":
- must have a living faith in God
- must believe in truth and non-violence and have faith in the inherent goodness of human nature which he expects to evoke by suffering in the satyagraha effort
- must be leading a chaste life, and be willing to die or lose all his possessions
- must be a habitual khadi wearer and spinner
- must abstain from alcohol and other intoxicants
- must willingly carry out all the rules of discipline that are issued
- must obey the jail rules unless they are specially devised to hurt his self respect
Rules for Satyagraha CampaignsGandhi proposed a series of rules for satyagrahis to follow in a resistance campaign:
Gandhi was highly criticized for these statements and responded in another article entitled "Some Questions Answered" where he wrote:
Friends have sent me two newspaper cuttings criticizing my appeal to the Jews. The two critics suggest that in presenting non-violence to the Jews as a remedy against the wrong done to them, I have suggested nothing new... What I have pleaded for is renunciation of violence of the heart and consequent active exercise of the force generated by the great renunciation."
In a similar vein, anticipating a possible attack on India by Japan during World War II, Gandhi recommended satyagraha as a defense:
…there should be unadulterated non-violent non-cooperation, and if the whole of India responded and unanimously offered it, I should show that, without shedding a single drop of blood, Japanese arms – or any combination of arms – can be sterilized. That involves the determination of India not to give quarter on any point whatsoever and to be ready to risk loss of several million lives. But I would consider that cost very cheap and victory won at that cost glorious. That India may not be ready to pay that price may be true. I hope it is not true, but some such price must be paid by any country that wants to retain its independence. After all, the sacrifice made by the Russians and the Chinese is enormous, and they are ready to risk all. The same could be said of the other countries also, whether aggressors or defenders. The cost is enormous. Therefore, in the non-violent technique I am asking India to risk no more than other countries are risking and which India would have to risk even if she offered armed resistance.

Colorado Western Slope Peaches are making abundant appearance in our grocery stores, farmer's markets and our kitchen. Beautiful fuzzy fruit full of wonderful juicy flavor. We've been cherishing every single bite. With our record-breaking hot summer temperatures and traditional Colorado cool evenings, this year's crop has seemed even better than ever.
This dessert is one of my favorite things to make during peach season. Years ago, Whole Foods was serving up bite-sized servings of this dessert during an in-store demo. Quite a frenzied crowd had gathered, but with persistence, I managed to get a dribble by dribble description of how to make this at home.
Simple fresh flavors that work so well together. Caramelized peaches flavored with vanilla, lemon and butter and topped with a big dollop of creamy mascarpone cheese most certainly makes for a wonderful treat. Let's take a look.
- 2 Tbs unsalted butter melted
- 2 Tbs fresh lemon juice 1 lemon
- 2 Tbs sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 whole peaches firm/ripe/halved
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese

Bold, Thoughtful Design Helps Rebuild Manchester, England
The glory days of Manchester, England's industrial past have long faded, and recent decades saw the city fall on hard times. Though many may have left Manchester for dead, a 1996 IRA bombing in the heart of the city had the unexpected effect of uniting and inspiring the city to rebuild and revitalize itself.
City leaders focused on the downtown core and provided political cover for the international planning firm EDAW to give the city a new heart -- one reliant on good design. In this exclusive interview, EDAW's Jason Prior and City Council Leader Richard Leese explain how inspired planning brought new life to an old city.

A HEREFORD woman who told vets her seriously ill puppy was a stray has been banned from keeping animals for 10 years.
Wendie Bowley told a veterinary receptionist that six-month-old Rory had been found in a garden after bringing him into the surgery in a bloodstained sheet with infected sores over his back and face and barely able to open his eyes.
The young border-terrier type dog had been suffering with the painful condition for at least half his young life, Hereford Magistrates' Court was told this week.
Prosecutor Nick Sutton said 44-year-old Bowley, of Green Croft in Redhill, South Wye, had initially taken the pet to a surgery on March 15 despite owing the practice money dating back nine years.
She was advised to seek PDSA help – the animal charity that offers to pay for treatment if owners are struggling – but didn't.
She returned the following day when Rory received first aid.
But Mr Sutton said 11 days later Bowley took the dog to The Laurels surgery in Whitecross, Hereford, wrapping him in a blanket with blood on it. Again she said she had found him in a garden.
The prosecutor said the defendant has since signed the dog over to the RSPCA.
Bowley admitted a charge of causing unnecessary suffering to a dog.
At a court hearing last week Chris Read, defending Bowley, said his client had initially tried to treat Rory herself.
"It's not the case that Mrs Bowley ignored the situation," said Mr Read during the hearing on November 6.
"Clearly the dog was suffering, but Wendie Bowley wasn't simply being cruel. She tried her best to deal with a situation to the best of her ability."
She was banned from keeping animals for a decade and given a sixmonth community order and ordered to pay costs of £175.
Speaking afterwards, RSPCA Inspector Pippa Boyd said she was pleased with the outcome.
"There is no excuse to allow a dog to be in that condition for such an extended period.
"I am pleased to say the dog is now back to a happy and healthy condition and has been re-homed."

Ion Engines are the most exciting new rocket propulsion system since the Chinese invented the rocket about a thousand years ago. Most rocket engines use chemical reactions for power. They combine various gases and liquids to form explosions which push the rocket through space. Chemical rocket engines tend to be powerful but have a short lifetime.
Ion propulsion gets its push from electric fields instead of chemical reactions. Its forces are gentler, but they are so efficient, a mission can last for years before running out of fuel.
Interactives and associated readings unpack how ion propulsion works. Note: to launch the interactives and games listed below, please use Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari.

For The Week Of July 19-25, 2010
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Holding back your secrets will backfire on you now and could lead to you looking less confident to that certain someone. The holes in your story won't add up, which could lead to them filling in those gaps with their own whacked-out stories. So, if you want to be free already, just let it out and embrace your freakiness.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
An issue you were facing at the beginning of the year may start to creep back into the picture. While you think you can handle it all on your own, avoid that. Call in the back-up: it'll be having a strong support team with many points of view that will help you see the bigger picture and the most innovative solutions. Plus, it's best not to be alone right now.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Your star status is going to be coming through, as opportunities that take you far from your comfort zone arrive and will test how open-minded and flexible you truly are. Dreams aren't always cracked up to be as fantastical as you want them to be, as strings attached always wind up throwing in a little bitter to the sweet.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
On one hand, you will be taking a giant leap forward in your personal development, but in your love life, a dark shadow will be cast. It seems that whom you are running with won't be able to keep up and the passive-aggressive ways they will decide to act out will be the hair that breaks the camel's back. Oh well, cheers to the survival of the fittest!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Making agreements with your boo is half the battle. Too bad enforcing them is where the real work has to take place. This week, seems you haven't read all the fine print, as what you thought you were getting isn't all that it's cracked up to be. A difference in semantics has you wondering what kind of idiot your honey can be.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Things will heat up — you will be taking a giant step to a deeper commitment with your baby and getting closer to the life you dream of. However, don't sabotage yourself by asking too many questions, as some things won't have answers and other issues can only be solved in their own time. Right now, it's about walking through the fire, not over-analyzing it.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Sex is the metaphor for a relationship. So if you're getting your rocks off in a fun and fab way routinely, you have nothing go worry about. If not, time to put more effort in to make it happen, as not everything comes on a silver platter. No one is that entitled: it's not good for the soul and, certainly, it'll never make you a good lay.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Just when you thought you've made your mind to go one way, this week will have you doing a sudden 180 and wanting to try another way. No one has ever pegged you as predictable, but this might even be a shock to you. Of course, the real surprise is what will make you want to change your trajectory.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
You'll be at your luckiest if you let your past be your guide to your future, which means don't try to give anyone or any situation the benefit of the doubt now. You've learned your lessons and it's time to put that knowledge into play. As it goes, burn you once, shame on them; burn you twice, shame on you.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
When it comes down to who and what you can trust, you're going to have to get down to business and ask smart questions. Friends won't be much help, not because they're being shady, because they'll be just as confused as you. As for your honey, be ready to read between the lines. This week, people around you will be more about saying what you want to hear than the truth.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
This week might leave you tossing and turning, as career and home life get disruptions that make you want to run for cover. Whatever the trauma, know the solution is a slow one, but one that will have positive and lasting results. Until then, hit the spa, stores, salon, etc. Yes, if this means spoiling yourself silly to maintain your balance during this rocky pass, then so be it.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Time to put up your hands and stop the insanity. Enough of hearing people's ideas on how you should be living and what is best for you, because last time you checked, they were more messed-up then you ever were and it's time to point that out. So while this isn't the sexiest thing to do with your mouth right now, at least it will provide some form of satisfaction.

The Robinsons, that most resourceful of all families Swiss, flee their home country to avoid the approaching army of Napoleon Bonaparte. When their ship is overpowered in a brutal storm, they abandon ship and set up camp on a remote island. Lucky for the Robinsons (and for you, dear viewer), this is no ordinary island. It's got everything an enterprising family could ever hope for: an assortment of animals from every corner of the globe, fresh water and tons of available food sources. Their family fun is all but ruined when an unruly mob of pirates (led by
Bridge on the River Kwai
Oscar-nominee Sessue Hayakawa) threatens to destroy their desert island bliss. I don't think I'm ruining anything here when I say that the time will inevitably come when The Robinsons must decide between returning to civilization and staying on their paradise island.
The Swiss Family Robinson
is an entertaining movie, but I seem to remember having more fun with it as a child. There's loads of adventure and thrills to be had, but it's served up kiddy-style and with a heaping helping of wholesome, Disney family goodness. And Francis (Kevin Corcoran), the youngest Robinson, is so gratingly obnoxious and "cute" that I actually wished death-by-shark upon the little tyke. That said, there are some things I noticed as an adult that made viewing more interesting for different reasons. It's fun to watch mother and father (John Mills and Dorothy McGuire) dance around the subject of carrying on the family way with a very shallow gene pool. My ever so sensitive inner PETA also cringed (while I gnashed on a Big Mac) a few times as the island animals were put in various stages of peril - you've got ostrich riding, elephants submerged in ocean water, two dogs battling a tiger (look ma, no CGI!) and a lassoed turtle pulling a boat ashore. Still, the film has plenty of entertainment value, and it's got that sort of
Gilligan's Island
appeal of wondering what the hell they're going to make next out of coconuts and bamboo shoots. The treehouse remains something to see, and even as I approach 30 years of age, I still want to live inside it.
Disney finally brings
The Swiss Family Robinson
to DVD, and has done so (thankfully!) in anamorphic widescreen. The 2.35:1 image looks mostly good, but suffers in some areas. The image is nearly completely clean of fuzz, scratches and any sort of age-attributed imperfections. The day shots look particularly bright and spotless without even a hint of oversaturation. Colors are bright and properly saturated, and black levels are merely adequate. The day-for-night shots present some problems in the transfer to a digital medium. The image becomes unstable at this point and produces noticeable amounts of distracting grain and haze. Grain seems only to be a major issue in these scenes, but they are a hindrance to the overall quality of the picture.
The 5.1 audio upgrade doesn't come off quite as well as the improved picture quality. It's barely distinguishable as a multi-channel mix, as the surround channels are really only employed for occasional light use, mainly for the music track. The .1 LFE channel is active, most noticeably, during the opening storm sequence, then barely made a peep after that. Dialogue level is adequate and properly maintained in the center channel, and the majority of the effects work is spread across the front portion of the sound field.
Disney's 2-disc set of
Swiss Family Robinson
has an abundance of extras, most of which are featured on the second disc. When you pop the first disc into the player, you're greeted almost right away (after the requisite promo reel) by some nicely animated menu screens. They're a nice complement to the main feature. Disney's put a nice touch on the disc by adding an animated short directly in front of the feature.
Sea Salts
is a 7-minute Donald Duck cartoon that showcases Mr. Duck in top form as he makes a go of his own at surviving life on an uncharted isle. The remaining feature on this disc is the running commentary by director Annakin and the three Robinson children: Tommy Kirk, James MacArthur and Kevin Corcoran. The track is equal parts anecdotal and technical in nature, but it's dominated by Annakin and MacArthur. The other two pop up now and again for little bits of information, although they're content to remain in the background during most of the track. In any case, the track manages to be interesting from start to finish, and they addressed even little things (the language of the pirates and the dog/tiger fight) that caught my attention.
Even if you're only a casual fan of this film, you'll no doubt be wholly satisfied with the second disc. Forgive the clumsy, almost labyrinthine layout of the features and you'll find lots of good stuff to pick through. The centerpiece is the 50-minute feature
Adventure in the Making
. It's a thorough, albeit longwinded look at the making of the film. Most of the primary cast is interviewed for the feature, along with the director, matte artist (Peter Ellenshaw) and others. More than anything else, you'll learn what an undertaking it was to make
Swiss Family Robinson
. From the transport and wrangling of animals and dealing with nature's fury, to location scouting on the remote island of Tobago and a poor soundtrack (the entire film had to be dubbed in the studio),
Swiss Family Robinson
was a feat for all involved in its production.
Conversations with James MacArthur
runs about 10-minutes in length and manages to be mildly informative. MacArthur discusses the various (mostly) Disney films he's been in over the years and how it helped and/or hindered his future career.
is a useless little film reel that showcases Disney's use of pirates over the years, be it in film, cartoon or theme park rides. It's cute enough but is ultimately unnecessary. The last of the features is the
Lost Treasures
piece. Haley Mills (her father played the senior Robinson) narrates a very short piece comprised of newsreel footage of her visit to the opening of the Swiss Family Treehouse attraction at Disneyland. It's worth a look... once, but no more than that.
The Swiss Family Robinson Production Archive
contains a good number of promotional extras and other rarities. There are a number of photo galleries which contain several dozen snapshots of production stills, models, storyboards, lobby cards, merchandise, posters, screenplay excerpts and more. The audio section has five radio spots for your aural pleasure, and in the trailer section you'll find what must be the world's longest theatrical trailer (clocking in at 5-minutes!) and a television spot. I wasn't too impressed with the storyboard/scene comparison, but that could be because they chose to dissect a scene from my least favorite portion of the film.
More satisfying is the 20-minute section of excerpts from the 1940 RKO Radio Pictures version of
Swiss Family Robinson
. It seems considerably less wholesome in nature, though is just as entertaining. The original Disney promotional piece
Walt Disney Presents Escape to Paradise
tops off this section. It's taken from the long-running television series, and Walt himself sells the piece with gusto, while touting the island of Tobago. It's got some kitsch value in it, and I dig the island music that played over it. The last of the features is the
Disney Studio Album
. If you have any burning desire to know what was going down within the Disney Studios circa 1960, this is the piece for you. The remaining 5.99 billion of us will want to skip over it.
So, there you have it. The DVD presentation of a Disney family classic. As a kid, this film never ceased to thrill and amuse me. As an adult, the mounds of cheesy, pseudo-righteousness dished up alongside the island escapades gave me a giggle and an occasional roll of the eyes. The junior set will undoubtedly get a big kick out of the all the booby traps and goofy fun the family has with their exotic surroundings. It's hard for family films to retain their entertainment value even after a few years, and the fact that this one has done so after more than 40 years speaks volumes about the dedication of those involved with it. As far as DVD is concerned, this one is an easy recommend for anyone who has fond memories of the film as a kid and wants to re-explore those recollections as an adult.

Comment Record

AAC Consulting Group, Inc. Subsidary of Kendle Int
Comments for FDA General
1. General Comments
In the comment from Ms. Leslye Frazer at the Stakeholders Meeting: Consumer Groups August 1, 2002, the question of registration number being accessible to the public, Ms. Fraser stated The statue expressly provides that registration numbers are not disclosable under the FOI. Here is my problem with this. When a shipment of food is offered for importation and it consists of multiple manufacturer's products (commonly referred to as a Grocery Store Shopping List entry), each manufacturer's product will be identified separately for OASIS review. Under the procedures followed for electronic submission of information, the filer will identify as Affirmation of Compliance all references that deal with registration, listing, etc. (for foods it would include FCE number and Sid number, etc.). With the new legislation requiring every manufacturer to have a registration number before their product is acceptable for entry, this will mandate the shipper (who is not further processing the food products) to acquire from each supplier their Registration number to provide to the US importer. This registration number will probably be included as part of the invoice information for the filer to enter into the AofC listing. If the shipper does not have the manufacturer's registration number, that portion of the shipment will be detained. Once the shippers are aware of the need for the registration numbers to be included in their invoice information, I can see where misuse of the numbers could happen. This has happened in the past with FCE numbers being used to identify products that were not manufactured by the actual company so that substitute product could gain entry (China/Taiwan mushroom issue). The only real enforcement tool FDA has regarding the foreign manufacturer is to refuse admission to their products. I can see where products that are being miss-represented may cause major concerns for legitimate foreign companies. As a suggestion for dealing with the requirement to keep the CFSAN Food Registration confidential, I would propose the following for consideration. All establishments that have their names submitted as part of the entry documentation into OASIS are assigned a specific FDA Establishment Identification (FEI) number. This number is considered public information (not restricted from disclosure under FOI and is provided as part of the information in all current Import Alerts and Monthly Refusal notices). When a firm submits their information for registration, the Center should first determine if there is already in the FACTS/OASIS systems a FEI assigned to that establishment. This FEI number would then be cross referenced with the new CFSAN Foods Registration number provided to the foreign establishment. If no FEI number has been given to the firm, CFSAN would then refer the information to ORA for the OASIS program to provide the FEI number. This FEI number would be sent to the establishment along with their Food Registration number with instructions to only provide their FEI number for purposes of identifying themselves for exported products to the US. This information along with other required information, i.e., FCE, SID numbers, etc. would then be part of the company's information on their invoice/shipping records. When that company exports their products to the US, they will provide the US importer with their FEI number to be entered into the OASIS documentation by the filer. This number would be cross matched internally (OASIS system to CFSAN system) to verify the name of the establishment (plus address, etc.) is the same as the name in the CFSAN Registration database. In this way the CFSAN registration number is only known to the manufacturer and is not included in any documents that are referenced with the shipment. Over the years of the development of the OASIS program, congress has often asked why the OASIS system does not communicate with the other Agency databases. By having this cross matching link between OASIS and the CFSAN database, this communication between different part of the Agency is accomplished. Marvin A.

Microsoft's OOXML is an ISO Standard
It's official: Microsoft's Office Open XML format (OOXML) has been accepted as a new standard at a second hearing
This means that OOXML is certified as Draft International Standard ISO/IEC 29500. This time around, the controversial document format received only 10 NO votes from 71 countries eligible to vote: this is just 14 percent. Last fall 26 percent voted against, causing the proposal to fall short of the 25% threshold. Before the final results were even released by ISO, Microsoft issued a press statement saying that the voting was "overwhelmingly" in its favor with 86% voting YES. The original ISO announcement does not confirm this, saying that 75 percent of eligible voters had agreed and that Open XML had thus "received the necessary number of votes for approval as an ISO/IEC International Standard." It is unusual that the ISO results were leaked by members before the official statement by ISO itself, an unusual culmination of a standardization process that has been anything but ordinary.
Microsoft's ECMA man Brian Jones showed how thrilled he was with the decision in a blog entry on Tuesday referring to the decision as "the end of the file formats war!" This can be seen as a reference to the fierce resistance that Microsoft has been up against from major players such as IBM and Sun, but also from organized opponents such as the NoOOXML.org website which is hosted by the FFII (Foundation for a free information Infrastructure) and has published information on the proceedings and helped bundle the oppostion.
ISO has presented the document format along with 6000 pages of documentation for approval by its member organizations in a controversial fast track vote. In the first round of voting, OOXML failed to secure the required two thirds majority; it has now managed to do so at the second attempt. Following the first disapproval, national committees were able to propose improvements and submit comments; this provoked more than 3500 comments. Microsoft was able to leverage the comments to improve its format. After investigating the proposed improvements in February, national committees had until March 29 to cast their second votes. All told, the Microsoft format secured seven additional YES votes, although the number of opponents and abstentions actually remained unchanged. The Open Malaysia Blog website monitored the voting behavior and published the votes immediately after they were disclosed. The new supporters include South Korea, Finland, Denmark, Ireland, Great Britain, Slovenia and the Czech Republic.
Again, the ISO vote was cloaked in an atmosphere of irregularity, or at least the meeting in February to discuss the proposed improvements (the Ballot Resolution Meeting) had an unusual agenda according to reports. Originally, 25 members were eligible to vote, but the rules were changed to allow for a result. Finally, 32 countries were permitted to vote, but the vote was extremely close: the documents passed the session with six YES votes against four NOs, and sixteen abstentions. Two members refused to take part in the vote. The votes in some countries were cast under unusual circumstances: the Norwegian committee originally voted YES, but the Norwegian committee chairman protested against the resolution on grounds of "irregularities". In his official statement he wrote that 80 of the members were against agreeing, but that a YES verdict had been passed to ISO despite this.
Irregularity also surrounded the first ISO vote: the current events in Norway are reminiscent of a similar incident in Sweden in late August 2007, where the Swedish standards institute, SIS, revoked its positive vote and declared the vote invalid due to claims of manipulation. The official grounds quoted by SIS were that some votes had been cast twice. However, Microsoft representatives publicly admitted manipulation and attempted bribes shortly after. Other countries reported sudden increases in membership, such as in the USA, Italy and Portugal.
These blatant irregularities led to the European Commission to open an official investigation of Microsoft's behavior in the voting process. Partly to support its attempt to achieve ISO certification, Microsoft opened a number of protocols in February, but the step was too late for the EU. In late February, the European Commission ordered Microsoft to pay a record fine due to anti-competitive behavior. Judging by an EU letter of intent, the Microsoft format is unlikely to find favor with European authorities despite its official ISO status, as the EU will be continuing to use the free Open Document Format (ODF).

The Myth of Persecution
Article byJune 2013
This is an entertaining, at times thought-provoking, but deeply flawed book. For all of its underlying scholarship, it is reminiscent of those Christmas Specials on the History Channel where some learned scholar announces to the camera that the Bible never specified that there were three wise men. Cue portentous pause, the assumption apparently being that somewhere in the ensuing silence one can hear two thousand years of Christian theology (rather than a mere century of kitsch festive season artwork) collapsing into a heap of rubble. continue

Starting this week, more than 100 LDS believers have accepted the challenge to read a chapter a day from the faith's signature scripture, the Book of Mormon.
At this pace, they will complete the entire text in 239 days.
What makes this challenge different, though, is that it was issued not by LDS Church headquarters but from Affirmation, a support group for gay Mormons that many church members presume is opposed to the faith.
The instructions on Facebook for reading together are clear: Read a chapter every morning as part of your routine; think about it; say a prayer; and, if you want, share your thoughts with the group.

May 4, 2012 - The Associated PressKid sick after drinking food coloring
CHEYENNE (AP) --Laramie County authorities say 24 children at a Cheyenne elementary school were sickened after ingesting an unidentified substance that a fellow student brought to school.
Gerry Luce is public information officer with the Laramie County Sheriff's Office. He says investigators recovered two vials of the substance on Thursday and sent it to the state Crime Lab for analysis.
Luce says the substance appears to be a concentrated form of food coloring with a high sugar content.
Luce says a child at the school, and possibly the child's sibling from a junior high school, brought the substance into the school. The children were assessed by medical personnel and the school nurse after showing signs of upset stomachs.
Trial scheduled in fatal car crash
BUFFALO, S.D. (AP) -- Trial has been scheduled for a Texas man charged in a crash in South Dakota that killed women from North Dakota and Wyoming.
34-year-old Winchester Wearden of Austin, Texas, is to stand trial Aug. 21-22 in Buffalo on two counts of second-degree manslaughter.
Wearden was cited for reckless driving and passing in a no-passing zone after the crash last Nov. 20. Authorities allege that Wearden's pickup truck collided with a car on U.S. Highway 85 near the northwest South Dakota town of Ludlow. The crash killed 21-year-old Samantha Vogel of Lincoln, N.D., and 61-year-old Judith Hampton of Newcastle.
Police shooting ruled justified
POWELL (AP) -- The Park County attorney has cleared a Powell police officer who fatally shot a man after a standoff last winter.
Officer Paul Sapp shot 31-year-old Nicholas Ungar at the Park Motel on Feb. 9 after Ungar fired toward officers and pointed a gun at a woman he claimed was one of several hostages. Authorities later learned that he was bluffing.
County attorney Bryan Skoric concluded that the officer was justified in trying to prevent perceived harm to the woman, Brook-Lynn Jones.
During the standoff, Jones told police by telephone that she and three other women were being held hostage. She later said Ungar told her to say that.
Police Chief Roy Eckerdt said officers had to act on the information they had at the time.
Hospital sues former CEO
POWELL (AP) -- Powell Valley Healthcare is joining in litigation against its former CEO Paul Cardwell, who is accused of authorizing about $848,000 in false billings to the hospital.
Cardwell and his acquaintance Michael Plake face criminal charges alleging Cardwell authorized paying Plake for staff recruiting work that Plake allegedly never performed.
Prosecutors allege that instead, Plake pocketed 25 percent of what he was paid and kicked the rest back to Cardwell.
The men have denied the allegations.

Determining the Current Version of WUA
Determine the version of Windows Update Agent (WUA) before you use it. The current version of WUA is determined by the version of the Wuaueng.dll that is running in the \System32 subdirectory of the current Windows installation. If the version of Wuaueng.dll is version 5.4.3790.1000 or a later version, WUA is installed. A version that is earlier than 5.4.3790.1000 indicates that Software Update Services (SUS) 1.0 is installed.
When a call is made to SUS 1.0 by using the WUA API, an HRESULT of WU_E_AU_LEGACYSERVER is returned.
You can also use the IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo::GetInfo method to retrieve the current file version of Wuapi.dll that is running on a computer. The IWindowsUpdateAgentInfo interface is not supported in WUA 1.0.
