Harry Reid and the Hispanic Vote
Will Harry Reid win?
We can't say yet, but preliminary exit polls from Nevada hold what could be an important clue: 16% of the Senate electorate today was Hispanic. Aides to Mr. Reid, the Senate majority leader, had said if that number was 15% — matching Hispanic turnout from 2008 — he would defeat GOP candidate and tea party favorite Sharron Angle. The data show Mr. Reid won two-thirds of the Hispanic vote.

Stunning Ship - Stunning Cruise: Radiance of the Seas Cruise Review by Crazyguy
Overall Member Rating
Stunning Ship - Stunning Cruise
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
We got our Seapass card and we were away - through Customs/ immigration and we were on the ship. Once there, our cabin was ready and was very clean and sufficient room - but not really cramped at all. We had a balcony with a double glazed sliding door. Two chairs and table the balcony which was clean and tidy.
We opted for the Our Time dining, and used the Cascades dining area as a base, however got the dining package where we were able to utilise all the Speciality restaurants which we preferred. We found Cascades very 'busy' and was the first time we had seen food from the servery brought over to us with a plastic lid - similar to what you More would expect to see in a hospital. The service there was very quick, but found that it did not suit my own expectations. We did make use of all the other Dining areas on every night, and cannot commend them highly enough. Each had their own special feel to them and were fantastic. The only thing I would comment on in a slightly negative way was the Izumi (Japanese) restaurant where the food was excellent - but atmosphere was lacking. We would recommend the dining package so you have options of in our opinion exceptional restaurants. The only one that was lacking was Rita's Cantina - Mexican, which was a little average - but don't think it was part of the dining package. Of course the best value has to be the Windjammer - where food is excellent and available at most times of day with a massive selection.
Entertainment, I found that the snippets of the shows somewhat average with a comedian receiving little or no laughter. I walked out on the Aussie Boys show as I did not find it good use of my time and were again very average (in my opinion). The guys that were excellent were Gordon and Andrew (Entertainment managers? - Ive forgotten their official title/position) and were excellent value and comic who looked after many of the Trivia evenings and random ship entertainment - they had excellent personalities and wooed the crowds.
Excursions, -- Very good, I was very sad to read another comment on here about disabled persons on the cruise and their ability to use the Tenders etc. and was offended by the writers attitude. Its called Patience and be thankful for good health yourself.
Disembarkation, - Very organised, quick and efficient, and were met by a pre organised transfer coach to the airport which was good value
Overall - Fantastic ship, Fantastic crew and highly entertaining and professional Captain. Yes we have booked again. Less

Former CVM Patient on the
Track to Victory
Nate's Mineshaft was a 5-year-old thoroughbred racehorse running mid-level contests when a racing-related injury left him sore.
With a month of rehabilitation at the University of Missouri Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH) — and the diligence of his new trainer, Austin Smith — Nate's Mineshaft was back on the track.
Nate was not only racing again, but he was racing — and winning — higher stake races.
In fact, during his comeback to date, Nate's Mineshaft has won five races — including two graded stakes races in Louisiana and one in Texas, one of which, as serendipity would have it, was a race named after his sire, the Mineshaft Handicap. Nate's performance earned him kudos from the racing world and widespread media attention.
"It's a Cinderella story," said Shannon Reed, the MU veterinarian who led the MU veterinary team responsible for the rehabilitation of Nate's Mineshaft. "Nate was purchased for less than $10,000 and has now won over a half-million (dollars)."
Nate was always fast and showed promise in the mid-level races. His success in the more competitive graded stakes is particularly impressive considering his injuries and his long road back to recovery.
Nate arrived at MU VMTH with serious inflammation in both front fetlocks. "They were the size of softballs," Reed said. "He couldn't even bend."
Nate's owners, Pete Reiman and Scott Reiman of Windy Hill Farm in Campbell Hill, Ill., chose to bring Nate to the University of Missouri Equine Clinic because of the advanced treatment options available. "They keep up with new treatments, and are on the cutting edge," Scott Reiman said.
Reed said, "Racehorses experience the wear and tear of being an athlete. They need time to heal. We work with them to get them back to being the athletes that they are." There is no masking the pain with medication, and, in Nate's case, no steroids. The focus is on healing and injury prevention.
It is with this philosophy that veterinarians at the MU Equine Clinic approach the treatment of equine athletes.
The Reimans own a few dozen racehorses, and are firm believers in MU's progressive approach to equine care. So much so that, since 2009, they have brought more than 35 of their horses to the University of Missouri for veterinary care, including Jake Wil Gallop, a 6-year-old who also returned to racing success after a similar therapeutic protocol.
"The three hours each way is time well spent," Scott Reiman said. "I get an honest assessment of what's going on. By the time I leave, I know what's wrong." Scott Reiman is impressed by MU faculty innovation and inventions, such as the Lameness Locator.
A crew of staff and students devoted around two hours each day for 30 days to Nate's rehabilitation. During this time, Nate received a full range of therapeutic treatment, including a novel therapy known as Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein (IRAP).
Interleukin-1 is a cytokine that stimulates the degeneration of cartilage damage and bone remodeling. IRAP treatments block Interleukin-1 in order to slow the progression of damage and decrease inflammation.
The horse's blood is drawn and placed in a syringe to stimulate the production of a unique protein. After 24 hours, the protein is separated from the blood cells – and the concentrated plasma solution is injected into the horse's joint. Because this treatment uses the horse's own blood, there is no risk of disease transmission or immune rejection from foreign proteins.
Nate received IRAP injections into his fetlocks once a week for four weeks.
Nate also followed an exercise and rehabilitation regimen similar to those of human athletes: warm-up, range-of-motion exercises, cardio time on a treadmill, cool-down. Even Nate's post-workout cooling device was an adaptation of one designed for human use. The Game Ready machine, donated by a VMTH client, uses a circulating system to keep cold water on the horse's joints, thereby reducing inflammation.
For racehorses, such as Nate's Mineshaft, stepping onto the equine treadmill is both a treat and a source of some frustration. The aim is to keep the horse at a steady walk or trot. The horse, of course, wants to run.
Nate's Mineshaft is healthy enough to run now. And run, he has. He currently has a lifetime earnings of $638,214 of which $576,646 has been earned since his rehabilitation at Mizzou. He has won Horse of the Meet at both Fairgrounds Racetrack in New Orleans, LA and Lonestar Park in Dallas, TX.
"The entire staff at the University should be very proud of Nate's accomplishments," said Pete Reiman. "Without Dr. Reed and her staff's excellent care and knowledge of what to do for Nate, he would never have accomplished what he has."
The Reimans have supported student education by sponsoring student, intern and resident travel for on-site evaluation of racehorses and by donating two of their retired racehorses to the College of Veterinary Medicine teaching herd.
A 2012 graduate, Kim Doller, DVM, was one of the students who worked with Dr. Reed in treating Nate. One of the highlights of Doller's education was traveling with Reed to Louisiana watch some of the Reimans' horses race. Doller said that what she learned from this experience was that working in a clinic is generally pretty structured, but that working on site is different — sometimes requiring veterinarians to be more flexible and adaptable.
"It has been very exciting to work with racehorses. We are lucky to have horses of this caliber come through here," said Doller. "Their victory is our victory."

The musical group Stepside is always a favorite at our Friendship Wednesday lunches. Last Wednesday, they treated us to delicious, nutritious country music — following an equally delicious, nutritious, homemade lunch. Next week's menu features meat loaf, coq au vin, chorillo fish, turkey chili and beef bourguingnon — with more entertainment on Wednesday.
Lunch is served weekdays in our High Noon Cafe in the Nevada City Senior Apartments. The suggested donation for seniors 60+ is $3, and it's always smart to book ahead, and arrive a few minutes early.

Gulldalen Lodge 6-128, Sons of Norway
Now's your chance to enjoy the fact that Scandinavian cuisine can be pleasingly different. As part of its' February 11th regular meeting, the Gulldalen Lodge dinner menu will list Reindeer Stew. However, when our chefs learned of the exorbitant price of reindeer cuts, they displayed typical Norwegian common sense – the stew will be made using high quality – but less expensive – elk (full disclosure will be given at the meeting).
The 6 p.m. meeting will be held in the Ponderosa Hall at the Nevada County Fairgrounds (Gate 2). A solid turnout is expected – reservations are a must. Call Penny Johnson at 265-5623.
As a perfect background for the meal, LeRena Hannon will be giving a talk on northern Scandinavia's indigenous people, the Sami. The Sami have long maintained a lifestyle centered on reindeer herding (it is rumored they too, occasionally savor elk).
Also, members are encouraged to sign up for participating in the February 10 Nevada City Mardi Gras parade. The Viking Boat float has been prepped for the Broad Street event.
Call Lorraine Nauman at 470-8493 to learn where to rendezvous with our float. Our January meeting was a success; new officers took up their assignments and in addition, four new members were initiated. The new members include – Elsa Silbert, Cathy Soma, Yvonne Navarro and Karen Pettyjohn.

American Association of University Women
Nevada County Branch Contributes to Educational Opportunity Fund. Five Nevada County women represented the local branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) at a presentation in Sacramento recently about the organization's Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF). The fund sponsors women pursuing advanced degrees, fostering women's achievement and gender equity, and supporting women entering new or nontraditional careers. The local branch regularly contributes to the Fund, most recently with its fund raising event, "All About Unique Women" in the fall.
The speaker was Summer Malepeai, recipient of a Career Development Grant from AAUW's EOF. Career Development Grants support women who hold a bachelors degree, and are preparing to advance their careers, change careers, or re-enter the workforce. Malepeai is pursing her B.S.N. Nursing degree at Cal State, Sacramento. She hopes to combine her ten years of health care administration experience with a clinical nursing license. Her vision is to empower women in their communities by increasing health education, overcoming social and cultural barriers, and improving access to healthcare.
AAUW has provided more than 450 fellowships and grants nationally in the last two years. Nevada County Branch AAUW also offers scholarships to local high school graduates and Sierra College graduates.

To quote Bobbie, "I have met so many wonderful women and love all of our activities." These sentiments coupled with her high energy make her a strong ambassador and leader of the Newcomer organization.
Vice President, Stacey Nicolai has lived in Nevada County for 23 years with her husband and two daughters who are both off to college. Stacey worked as a legal secretary for 28 years and as a paralegal for 5 years.

Stacey loves serving on the various committees as it allows her to meet new people and get to know acquaintances even better.
The Newcomers Club usually meets on the fourth Wednesday of the month for a luncheon and program. The February 27th luncheon meeting will be held at the Alta Sierra Country club and the program will feature Dr. Jan Nolta presenting "Stem Cell Research 101!" Dr. Nolta, Director of Stem Cell Research at U.C. Davis, is world renowned for her research and development of an exciting and expanding program on stem cells.

Duplicate Bridge Club
Many New Year resolutions have been made and already broken. Indeed, most of us do not bother because bad habits are hard to break and good ones hard to keep. However, one resolution you should make and follow is to exercise your brain We grow too frail, weak, handicapped and old to do the physical exercise of our youth but we are never too old to do mental exercise. Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, and even jigsaw puzzles are good. Bridge, especially duplicate bridge, provides great mental stimulation and fun.
Our Club has games on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and on Tuesday and Friday afternoons from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Golden Empire Grange (La Barr Meadows Rd. near Kmart.)

THE banter and cheeky selling style of North Yorkshire's market traders of old are remembered in an internet photgraph exhibition created by a former University of York student.
The techniques of traders who once attracted huge crowds in York's Newgate Market are now available to view online in a film called Life's A Pitch! And Then You'd Buy, by Dr Colin Clark, who captured the colourful characters as part of a research project throughout the late eighties and early nineties.
He said: "It must have been in 1984 when I was working as a junior or doing my Phd in the sociology department. I remember there used to be this guy on Newgate market who used to gather a big crowd around and give all the sales spiel and we videoed him. They were phenomenal market traders.
"They were just brilliant sales people. We tried to study them because we thought they were a dying breed of working-class entrepreneur. A lot of them made a good living out of it.
"We also have some pictures of a guy who used to sell bacon joints in Selby. That was right in the middle of the miners' strike in 1985."
After capturing the region's market place characters, Dr Clark's interest took him further afield, capturing footage throughout the UK and eventually in the United States.
He said: "In 1984, when we commenced our research project, pitchers could be found on almost every British market. During 2011-12, though, when we revisited many of the markets from our original study, we found that pitching – with its roots going back well before medieval times – had all but died out. Today, British markets face a highly uncertain future; many of the traditional street markets are in decline and pitching has become a dying art."
See Dr Clark's film at marketpitching.com
The butcher, above, on Selby market during the miners' strike, said: "I call this my miners' deal because you get superb value for money on this one. In the supermarkets it'd cost you over £9.20. My normal price is £6.50, but I'm gonna go lower than that here today.
"I've worked cost for the last four months because of the miner's strike, and this is the only line on the vehicle that I don't actually earn a profit. Right, watch what I'm gonna do with them. They're not £9.20, and today they're not even £6.50. 'Ere, ten hands up sharp. Gimme level and silly money – a fiver for the whole lot!"

Loss of control cited in fatal motorcycle crash
Published 8:59 pm, Saturday, March 16, 2013
A 62-year-old man died Saturday after losing control of his motorcycle while merging onto a Northeast Side highway, police said.
The man had not been identified pending notification of his family.
Officer Matthew Porter, spokesman for San Antonio police, said the man, driving a Harley Davidson south on Interstate 35 just after 11 a.m., tried to merge with traffic on Loop 410.
He lost control, hit a concrete barrier and struck a metal sign with his head. He was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center, but died soon after from his injuries.
Porter said several witnesses had stopped to assist the man before emergency responders arrived.

The Sánchez Navarro Family Papers were purchased by the Benson Latin American Collection in 1943 from the heirs of Carlos Sánchez Navarro y Beráin. The papers were described by the Benson's Mexican Archives Project in May 1994.
The Sánchez Navarro family owned the largest private estate in the history of Mexico. Circa 1763, José Miguel Sánchez Navarro, the curate of Monclova, Coahuila, began to accumulate property in Coahuila. Until his death in 1821 he attended to church matters and to his private interests in farming, ranching, commerce, and rental properties. The estate was inherited by his nephew, José Melchor Sánchez Navarro, who continued to enlarge it. His sons, Carlos and Jacobo Sánchez Navarro y Beráin, inherited the estate when José Melchor died in 1836. In 1840 Carlos purchased the marquisate of San Miguel de Aguayo, increasing the Sánchez Navarro landholdings to their maximum size of over 16 million acres. Between 1861 and 1865, most of the property was confiscated, first as payment for back taxes, then as punishment for Carlos and Jacobo's collaboration with Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico. After Maximilian was overthrown in 1867, Carlos was imprisoned for one year, then exiled. In 1870 he returned to Mexico City where he lived in poverty until he died in 1876. Carlos' heirs recovered some of the family property but subsequently sold it.
Correspondence, legal and financial documents, reports, lists, and other materials relating to the business and personal concerns of the Sánchez Navarro family, especially ownership and operation of haciendas and a retail store in the Mexican state of Coahuila, during the 17th through the 19th centuries. The bulk of the correspondence relates to matters of hacienda operation and concerns livestock and crops, Indian raids, labor problems, illnesses and deaths, weather and natural disasters, debts, water resources, boundary disputes, building projects, and military, legal, and political problems. Religious matters are the subject of some of the letters and notes to José Miguel Sánchez Navarro.
The papers also contain a small quantity of uncalendared material, which includes financial documents, correspondence, literary productions, legal documents, lists, recipes, fragments, photocopies of typescripts and documents held by Pedro Sánchez Navarro.
The Sánchez Navarro Collection calendar guide describes the collection chronologically to the item level. Materials should be requested by the item number located at the beginning of each entry.
The calendar has been divided into four parts for its online version, of which the current page is Part I. The other parts of the Guide to the Sánchez Navarro Collection may be found through the links below:

US studio Warner Bros will mark the 20th anniversary of the TV comedy Friends by opening a real-world version of the show's iconic, but fictitious, coffee house Central Perk.
The series, which aired from 1994 to 2004, was set in New York and focused on six friends who, mostly, shared two adjacent apartments.
Central Perk, the local coffee house, was a regular hangout for the "friends": Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Monica (Courtney Cox), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Ross (David Schwimmer).
The "pop-up" Central Perk which Warner Bros has planned for New York will open on September 17 in Manhattan's SoHo district and remain open for a month.
The street address will be 199 Lafayette Street, at the corner of Broome Street.
To heighten the experience for fans of the series, Warner Bros says the cafe's original barista Gunther, played by James Michael Tyler, will make "select" appearances at the site.
Friends made its debut in the US on September 22, 1994.
Its launch was delayed in Australia due to a contractual wrinkle which saw the Seven Network own the first season, while the Nine Network held the rights to the second and subsequent seasons.
Nine did not launch the series until a deal had been struck with Seven to take the rights to the first season.
Although the series was set in New York, it was filmed at the Warner Bros studios in Burbank, California.
The "pop-up" Central Perk planned for the anniversary will feature several set pieces from the show, including the original couch which was used on the set.
For the duration of its decade-long run, Friends was a top-rating property for NBC in the US and for the Nine Network in Australia.
It was nominated for 62 Emmy Awards but only won the award for outstanding comedy series once, in 2002.

I could really use some help, thoughts, experience, etc... I've got four year old twin boys who sleep in the same room (we don't have any other bedrooms, so separating is not an option, and I don't think it would be any help). They had been going to bed great for quite a while. We have a routine we do every single night. They would sometimes give us a bit of trouble, but it was rare that there were any major problems.
For the past few weeks, things have been rockier - since the weather started to get hotter (we don't have central air and their room does get pretty hot), and since school ended and they've been staying up about an hour later than they had been during school (8:00 as opposed to 7:00). They're also sleeping about an hour later usually, so they're getting the same amount of sleep. It's been one (D) more than the other (G) giving us the problems. Problems being not following the routine, not laying still and quiet (it's our rule that they lay still and quiet while we sing two songs and if they don't we can't sing - so they give us trouble, we don't sing, then they're upset, and on and on...).
But I would say over the past week, D has started really flipping out. He'll be fine (mostly) until he's in bed and it's time to be laying quietly while we sing, give hugs & kisses and say "I love you"s. Then he usually insists he needs to use the potty again (even though he just has, sometimes twice), and gets upset at being reminded what his "job" is, and just keeps asking for this or that. And we try to find a balance between respecting legitimate needs, but also sticking to our expectations. And the past three nights now, he's just lost it, out of control crying, screaming, hitting - just beside himself. And we leave, which feels horrible, but this is after repeating our expectations over and over and telling him that if he can make an effort to calm down we can help, if he doesn't, we can't. So we leave, then 5 minutes later I go up, and 5 after that if I need to until he's worn himself out to the point that he's willing to be a bit more reasonable and calm and then I give him a drink of water, sing him a song (not the one that he missed out on because of his behavior) and say goodnight.
Tonight, he really seemed desperate, clinging to me and screaming not to go, screaming and crying for me to come back up... It felt like he was scared somehow, but I don't get it. He hasn't said anything about being scared at night, or having scary dreams. I was so torn - to feel like he was feeling scared and desperate and to walk out of there, but at the same time, he was totally out of control, and I felt like I had to set some boundaries, not cave in (I had told him before we started our routine that if he needed anything he had to tell me then, because when we started our routine, no more special requests.). And he was not listening at all, not to anything. It was really really bad.
I'm just at my wit's end. I have no idea why all of a sudden he's having such a hard time. It's been a month since school ended already, we're falling into a daily routine for the summer, there haven't been any big changes in our lives that I can think of... In general he's been much more confrontational (yelling, hitting, thrashing around, telling me if I don't do something, he's not going to be my friend, etc.). Any ideas what could be going on? Or what we might try? Help, please!!
