text: Former Stonewall, WVU star Easley dead at 55 By Mitch Vingle February 14, 2013 Story Share File photo Walter Easley during his WVU days. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Walter Easley, a standout football player for Stonewall Jackson High in Charleston, West Virginia University and the San Francisco 49ers, died on Thursday at the age of 55.Easley had been in declining health for years because of kidney problems. He received a new kidney in 2005."Walt had a lot of kidney problems," said Don Nehlen, one of Easley's former coaches at WVU. "We had more than one fundraiser for him."Easley was a Parade All-America pick after helping guide the undefeated 1974 team at Stonewall Jackson. He played for coach Bill Jarrett at SJHS and was a three-sport star, also excelling in basketball and track. He turned down Ohio State, among others, to play football for the home-state Mountaineers."I was recruited from the ninth grade on," Easley told the Gazette in a 2005 interview. "I was a Parade All-American as a senior and getting lots of national attention. I had [Ohio State's] Woody Hayes in my house at Orchard Manor, as well as [Nebraska's] Tom Osborne, [Arizona State's] Frank Kush and [Alabama's] Bear Bryant."At WVU, Easley switched from fullback to linebacker, then back to fullback in his playing years of 1976-80."He scored the very first touchdown at new Mountaineer Field," Nehlen said Thursday. "He helped lay the foundation for the [WVU] program we have now."Easley went to WVU to play for Bobby Bowden, who left within a month of the player's arrival. He then played for Frank Cignetti before Nehlen came on board. "Walt was a really good guy," Nehlen said. "I probably stayed in contact with him more than any of my former players."Easley went on to play for the Chicago Blitz and Pittsburgh Maulers in the USFL.However, it was his play with the 49ers that made a lasting mark. He earned a Super Bowl ring playing for coach Bill Walsh in a win over the Bengals after the 1981 season. That victory began the 49ers dynasty.Easley discovered his kidney function had declined in 1991, but didn't begin dialysis treatment until 1999."He battled this for a long time," Nehlen said. "It just makes me sick. We lost a great Mountaineer, that's for sure."Reach Mitch Vingle at 304-348-4827, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/MitchVingle.

Some Lowriders have dedicated their lives to building the perfect Lowrider, and their garage resume runs the gamut of just about any make and model you could possibly think of. Jose Romero is one of these veteran builders and riders, having breathed life into various Lowrider creations since his first wrench turn way back in 1977. In that year, he built his first Lowrider bike and went on to become quite the fixture within the San Diego Lowrider scene. "I was about ten years old when I started," Jose says. "That's when I got my first Lowrider bicycle." He bought his first car in 1981, and it began his four-wheeled career, which generated a lot of press. "In February of 1991, I started on a '59 convertible. In 1994, "Suavicto '58" came out in Lowrider Magazine; after that build came my '58, named "Straight Clownin'" in 2002," Jose explains. "Over the years I've had hoppers, Cadillacs, Monte Carlos, '62s, '63s, '64s, '58s, '59s, you name it. Altogether, I've probably had a good 30 Lowriders―and all of them badass," Romero says confidently.
With a resume as deep as his, it takes a very special car to stand out from the rest, and Jose Romero's latest creation holds that distinction. He's been envisioning exactly how this finished car would look since the mid-nineties when he first picked up the car. "I found the '55 over at the Pomona Swap Meet in 1996," he recalls. "At that time, I hadn't seen any '55 Bel Air convertibles on the circuit. It was the rarity of the car that caught my attention; it's not something you see on the road that often," says Jose. Without a second thought, Jose bought the '55 on the spot and put it in the back of his garage while he spent several years finishing up the rest of his other projects.
Over the years, Romero developed a vision of how this '55 could stand apart from the rest of the scene. "I saw the car clearly in my mind. It's such a rare car, and I wanted it to look elegant; I wanted it to be beautiful," he says wistfully. What he had on his hands was far from that, however. His work was cut out for him as this Bel Air was far from roadworthy, let alone ready for the show circuit. "It took me exactly a year to strip it all back down and redo it," Jose says, exhausted from the memory. "When I bought the car, it was in primer condition. It needed floors, a trunk, and lower quarter panels, so I took it all on myself. I did the body work, metal work, welding, cutting, torching, striping, sand blasting, paint, buffing and polishing. I tore it all down at my house," Jose states. "The only time it left was to go to the spray booth and muffler shop. The rest of it got done in my garage; this car is 100% Jose Romero."
While he may not have painted it, he carefully planned out the color scheme on his own during the time he spent stripping the car down. "I painted it in my head before I ever took sandpaper to it," he says with a smile. "When I chose those earth tones, it all fell into place. When it was finished it was exactly what I wanted. She's perfect."
The simplicity of the paint meant the rest of the car needed to follow suit. The interior was restored to a stock-like condition with the exception of adding leather. The motor also needed to match the factory styling. Like putting lipstick on the Mona Lisa, too much chrome and power would only detract from the car's inherent beauty, and too little would be like a cheap frame, so Jose built carefully. "The motor was actually donated," says an excited Jose. "The engine compartment on the car is dedicated to the Cewall family in National City. The motor sat for many years until I tore it apart, stripped it, chromed it, and when I finished; it was just the perfect touch," Jose says, adding, "It's got that right amount of swagger going on." His happiness with the build stems from the fact that he never strayed from his vision of building a trophy contender. "I think if I had put the original motor in there it would have lacked something and looked plain. It's not a hopper, it's a show car," he says.
With such deep roots in the scene, and such a long building history, we had to ask this veteran which car out of his collection was his favorite. His answer was an interesting one. "Asking me what my favorite Lowrider is like asking an alcoholic what his favorite drink is," he says with a laugh. "The answer is 'the next one.' I always look forward to building my next project." Building and cruising is what has defined his life thus far and Jose Romero is not about to hang it up after the '55. "I've done a lot for this Lowrider community and I will continue to do so," Jose says proudly. "I've had a good run so far, but I'm not done. Everybody that's been there for me; I thank you. And to the haters, I say thank you and I love you more. You are what keeps me going; shame on you for counting me out. Some people watch sports, I don't. I Lowride." Spoken like a true Lowrider.

12 U.S. Code § 1748h–2 - Insurance of mortgages for defense housing for impacted areas
prev | next
(a) Authorization
Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, the Secretary may insure and make commitments to insure any mortgage under this section which meets the eligibility requirements hereinafter set forth.
(b) Eligibility requirements
No mortgage shall be insured under this section unless
(1) the housing which is covered by the insured mortgage is necessary in the interest of national security in order to provide adequate housing for
(A) military personnel and essential civilian personnel serving or employed in connection with any installation of one of the armed services of the United States, or
(2) there is no present intention to curtail substantially the number of such personnel assigned or to be assigned to the installation,
(3) adequate housing is not available for such personnel at reasonable rentals within reasonable commuting distances of such installation, and
(4) the mortgaged property will not so far as can be reasonably foreseen substantially curtail occupancy in any existing housing in the vicinity of the installation which is covered by mortgages insured under this chapter.
(c) Economical soundness of property or project
The Secretary may accept any mortgage for insurance under this section without regard to any requirement in any other section of this chapter that the property or project be economically sound.
(d) Rental conditions; preferences and priorities in the sale or rental of dwellings
The Secretary shall require each project covered by a mortgage insured under this section to be held for rental for a period of not less than five years after the project or dwelling is made available for initial occupancy or until he finds that the housing may be released from such rental condition. The Secretary shall prescribe such procedures as in his judgment are necessary to secure reasonable preference or priority in the sale or rental of dwellings covered by a mortgage insured under this section for military personnel and essential civilian employees of the armed services, employees of contractors for the armed services, and persons described in clause (1)(B) of subsection (b) of this section.
(e) Property held by mortgagor approved by Secretary; acquisition of stock or interest; redemption
For the purpose of providing multifamily rental housing projects or housing projects consisting of individual single-family dwellings for sale, the Secretary is authorized to insure mortgages (including advances on such mortgages during construction) which cover property held by a mortgagor approved by the Secretary. Any such mortgagor shall possess powers necessary therefor and incidental thereto and shall until the termination of all obligations of the Secretary under such insurance be regulated or restricted as to rents or sales, charges, capital structure, rate of return, and methods of operation to such extent and in such manner as to provide reasonable rentals to tenants and a reasonable return on the investment. The Secretary may make such contracts with, and acquire for not to exceed $100 such stock or interest in, any such mortgagor as he may deem necessary to render effective such restriction or regulation. Such stock or interest shall be paid for out of the General Insurance Fund, and shall be redeemed by the mortgagor at par upon the termination of all obligations of the Secretary under the insurance.
(f) Mortgage limitations for multifamily rental property or project
To be eligible for insurance under this section, a mortgage on any multifamily rental property or project shall involve a principal obligation in an amount not to exceed, for such part of such property or project as may be attributable to dwelling use, $9,000 per family unit without a bedroom, $12,500 per family unit with one bedroom, $15,000 per family unit with two bedrooms, and $18,500 per family unit with three or more bedrooms, and not to exceed 90 per centum of the estimated value of the property or project when the proposed physical improvements are completed. The Secretary may, by regulation, increase any of the foregoing dollar amount limitations contained in this paragraph by not to exceed 45 per centum in any geographical area where he finds that cost levels so require.
(g) Mortgage limitation for property or project constructed for eventual sale of single-family dwellings
To be eligible for insurance under this section a mortgage on any property or project constructed for eventual sale of single-family dwellings shall involve a principal obligation in an amount not to exceed a sum computed on the basis of a separate mortgage for each single-family dwelling (irrespective of whether such dwelling has a party wall or is otherwise physically connected with another dwelling or dwellings) comprising the property or project equal to the total of each of the maximum principal obligations of such mortgages which would meet the requirements of section 1709 (b)(2) of this title if the mortgagor were the owner and occupant who had made the required payment on account of the property prescribed in such paragraph.
(h) Amortization; interest; release of part of mortgaged property from lien; replacement of certain mortgages by individual mortgages; commercial and community facilities
Any mortgage insured under this section shall provide for complete amortization by periodic payments within such terms as the Secretary may prescribe but not to exceed the maximum term applicable to mortgages under section 1713 of this title and shall bear interest at such rate as may be agreed upon by the mortgagor and the mortgagee, except that individual mortgages of the character described in subsection (g) of this section covering the individual dwellings in the project may have a term not in excess of the maximum term applicable to mortgages insured under section 1709 of this title or the unexpired term of the project mortgage at the time of the release of the mortgaged property from such project mortgage, whichever is the greater, and shall bear interest at such rate as may be agreed upon by the mortgagor and the mortgagee. The Secretary may consent to the release of a part or parts of the mortgaged property from the lien of the mortgage upon such terms and conditions as he may prescribe and the mortgage may provide for such release, and a mortgage of the character described in subsection (g) of this section may provide that, at any time after the release of the project from the rental period prescribed by subsection (d) of this section, such mortgage may be replaced, in whole or in part, by individual mortgages covering each individual dwelling in the project in amounts not to exceed the unpaid balance of the blanket mortgage allocable to the individual property. Each such individual mortgage may be insured under this section. Property covered by a mortgage insured under this section may include eight or more family units and may include such commercial and community facilities as the Secretary deems adequate to serve the occupants.
(i) Limitation on aggregate number of dwelling units
The aggregate number of dwelling units (including all units in multifamily projects or individual dwellings) covered by outstanding commitments to insure and mortgages insured under this section shall at no time exceed five thousand dwelling units.
(j) Applicability of other laws
The provisions of subsections (d), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), and (n) ofsection 1713 of this title shall be applicable to mortgages insured under this section except individual mortgages of the character described in subsection (g) of this section covering the individual dwellings in the project, and as to such individual mortgages the provisions of subsections (a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), [1] (j), and (k) [1] ofsection 1710 of this title shall be applicable: Provided, That wherever the words "Fund" or "Mutual Mortgage Insurance Fund" appear in section 1710 of this title, such reference shall refer to the General Insurance Fund with respect to mortgages insured under this section.
(k) Aggregate amount of mortgages insured; termination date
The provisions of sections 1748, 1748a, [1] 1748b (c), 1748b (i), 1748b (j), 1748c (a), 1748c (b), [1] and 1748f of this title and the provisions of section 1748b (a) of this title relating to the aggregate amount of all mortgages insured under this subchapter shall be applicable to mortgages insured under this section.

My grandparents were born in 1935 — the same year as Elvis and Julie Andrews — and grew up in a small town in southeast Kansas.
My grandpa has a lot of great stories and anecdotes to tell, and I first heard what's now one of my favorites when we were cruising down the streets of their childhood hometown in his pickup truck.
"When I was growing up, we used to call green peppers 'mangoes,'" Grandpa said as we drove by a corner grocery store his family used to frequent.
"I didn't even know they were called green peppers until I was in the Navy."
Grandpa worked on a submarine tender in San Diego and helped stock the subs' food supplies.
When he referred to green bell peppers as mangoes at work one day, his native Californian crewmate looked askance.
"He said, 'Those aren't mangoes. Those are green peppers,'" Grandpa said. "'Mangoes are a fruit.' Well, I'd never seen a mango before."
When I asked him why they called green peppers mangoes in the first place, Grandpa said, "I don't know, that's just what everyone called them."
I thought the origin of Grandpa's "mangoes" would remain a mystery until a few weeks ago when I was flipping through a cookbook of my mom's.
She grew up in the south-central Kansas town of Hutchinson, where the state fair is held. No state fair experience was complete without a visit to the Our Lady of Guadalupe cafe for some authentic Mexican food.
I was browsing through the recipes from the cafe's cookbook when something caught my eye — an ingredient list that included "mango (green bell) peppers."
"Hey Mom!" I called. "This cookbook calls green peppers mangoes like Grandpa does."
While most of the recipes calling for green bell peppers referred to them as such, there were quite a few that called them mango peppers.
And it made sense to me.
As green bells ripen they often sport red-gold splotches, and mango varieties such as keitts or tommy atkins can have a similar appearance. I thought maybe someone in southern Kansas once upon a time saw a mango and made the connection to ripening bell peppers.
Mystery solved? Not quite.
A recent Wall Street Journal article sent me on a mango rabbit trail, which lead me to Wikipedia and this illuminating factoid:
"When mangoes were first imported to the American colonies in the 17th century, they had to be pickled due to lack of refrigeration. Other fruits were also pickled and came to be called 'mangoes,' especially bell peppers, and by the 18th century, the word 'mango' became a verb meaning "to pickle.'"
Case closed.
Now excuse me while I go eat the cucumbers I mangoed last summer.

What are your books about & what message are you trying to share through your children's books?
Dawn The Deer & Dawn The Deer Enjoys The Fall are glimpses into what a quiet, peaceful little doe experiences in her day in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate NY. Colors, creatures, sights, sounds and smells are all around her, and she stops to enjoy them all. If I could convey any message with my children's books it would be to do as our friend Dawn does: to stop, if only for a moment, and enjoy your day. Take in all the wonderful things around you. The way the sky looks at the moment the sun hits the horizon during a sunset, the way wet leaves smell on a wooded trail in October, the crunch of fresh fallen snow under your feet in the winter. There is so much to enjoy in every new day.
What inspired you to write?
I guess you could say it was Dawn herself. Everyday my family and I would see her out and about in our neighborhood and on one particularly beautiful July morning, while enjoying a cup of coffee on my porch with my wife, I said,"Ya know, that deer is around so much we should probably name her." My wife then said, "I've been calling her Dawn as I always see her around in the morning." I said, "Dawn The Deer, that sounds like a perfect name for a children's book!" After a few more minutes of watching her it hit me, . . . I could write a children's book about all of the things that Dawn sees or does in any given summer day. From there, the story pretty much wrote itself as I just put to rhyme all that I saw her experiencing. The birds, the squirrels, the children playing nearby, the ravens, all of them were going about their day and Dawn was taking it all in.
What have been the challenges you've faced with writing / self-publishing?
My first challenge was finding the right artist to illustrate my stories. In an effort to keep it simple I tried modifying photos I had taken in PhotoShop but was not able to get them dialed in. I asked a friend who had done some cartoons in the past if he would be interested but he wasn't able to get me what I wanted either. It was then I thought about approaching the art department at the college I work at to see if maybe there was a student who was proficient in watercolor artwork who needed a project to work on for classwork. The director of our art department put me in contact with Crystal Cochell,

Coast Guard cutter Waesche bound for Hawaii, RIMPAC
By PETER HEGARTY | The Oakland (Calif.) Tribune | Published: May 28, 2014
ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Coast Guard cutter Waesche set out Tuesday to take part in an international military exercise in the waters around Hawaii.
Before the Waesche left San Francisco Bay and began its journey to San Diego —the first stop in its voyage across the vast Pacific — the crew performed one final ceremonial duty.
As the ship passed Yerba Buena Island and the home of Vice Adm. Charles Ray, the Coast Guard commander for the Pacific area, the crew gathered along the starboard side and saluted.
"We are rendering honors," said Dustin See, a lieutenant junior grade and deck watch officer aboard the Waesche. "The crew of every cutter does it when it passes."
Forty-six vessels from more than 20 countries will gather in Hawaii between June 26 and Aug. 1 for the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, or RIMPAC, the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise.
The event gives the crews from the various countries an opportunity to train and discover how well they work together as they carry out practice engagements, vessel boardings, amphibious landings, air sorties and other activities.
The Waesche will lead a group of 10 ships, including those from China, Japan, Brunei, France and Mexico.
"The whole focus of this is to demonstrate our 'interoperability' and our ability to work with other nations," said John McKinley, the Waesche's captain, as the ship approached the Bay Bridge on its way to sea.
But McKinley also noted that Hawaiian authorities plan to review their disaster relief plans around the islands during the event and to find ways to improve them.
This will mark the first time that China has taken part in the military exercise, which is held every other year and hosted by the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet. It's also the first time for the Royal Norwegian Navy, which is sending a Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate.
"It's a way for us to see their tactics and how they do things," See said. "But it's always an interesting experience when you get to interact with maritime services from other countries."
A Virginia native and Coast Guard Academy graduate, See said he's also just looking forward to the trip across the Pacific and visiting Hawaii for the first time.
"When you are at sea, you fall into a routine," he said. "It makes life a little easier. You miss home a little bit, but I have always enjoyed my time at sea."
The 418-foot Waesche, homeported at Coast Guard Island in Alameda, was commissioned in May 2010 and is the second of the Legend-class National Security Cutters. It is named in honor of Adm. Russell Waesche, the Commandant of the Coast Guard from 1936 to 1945.
Among the ship's approximately 130 crew members is Bosun's Mate 1st Class John Savastano, whose duties Tuesday including raising the U.S. flag as the Waesche pulled away from the pier.
"This is my last time getting underway from Alameda," Savastano said as the flag snapped in the breeze. "Next time you see me I will be at Station Sandy Hook, New Jersey."

ALAMEDA -- Capacity for Raiders games at O.co Coliseum will be reduced by nearly 10,000 to 53,200 in 2013 and approximately 4,850 season-ticket holders from the east side high-rise structure known as "Mt. Davis'' will be relocated, the club announced Wednesday.
Raiders CEO Amy Trask described the decision as a "tool'' to insure games remain on local television as well as promote more of a community and family-friendly atmosphere.
Fans that paid $260 per season ticket on the east side structure will be moved to the west side third deck and their tickets will cost $250 this season -- or $25 per game including preseason games.
All seats in the west side third deck from sections 304 through 330 will be $250 per season ticket -- even those who previously paid $610 or $460 depending on how close they were to the 50-yard line.
"It certainly makes this entire third deck very, very attractive to families -- especially families with a lot of kids," Trask said.
All other season ticket prices will be reduced $10.
In reducing the maximum capacity from 63,132 to 53,200, the Raiders will have the smallest venue in the NFL. Solder Field, home of the Chicago Bears, seats 61,500.
With invoices having gone out to season-ticket holders starting Tuesday, Trask said it's too early to tell if the Raiders 4-12 season in 2012 will cause a reduction in the amount of renewals for 2013.
Reaction to relocation has been met with concern with some season ticket holders, although Trask said the Raiders will work with fans who want to stay near those they consider neighbors and friends.
"Some people are just a little hesitant about change ... it's not an insignificant but not an overwhelming number," Trask said.
The east side structure, built under terms of a deal which brought the Raiders back to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995, will probably be covered with a tarp. Fans and media have long called it "Mt. Davis'' after Al Davis, the late Raiders' owner.
The Raiders had just one television blackout in eight regular-season games in 2012 with help from the NFL's "85 percent" rule, which allowed them to declare a sellout (and give the NFL a bigger cut of the ticket sales) if 85 percent of their non-suite tickets were sold by Thursday.
The average regular-season attendance for the Raiders in 2012 was 54,217.
Trask said closing of the east structure would be made in lieu of the 85 percent rule. The club is also planning to eliminate other "tools'' to achieve sellouts such as 2-for-1 ticket giveaways sponsored by companies such as Compass Media and Hawaiian Airlines.
The A's have tarped off sections of the third deck since 2006, reducing capacity for baseball to the 34,000 range. The Jacksonville Jaguars have reduced capacity by approximately 10,000 in the same manner.
According to Trask, NFL rules state that once a club closes off a section, it cannot be re-opened for any games regardless of ticket demand -- even in the case of the postseason.
Trask said the Raiders are continuing to focus their energy for a new stadium on the current site and have been in talks with the city and county, with the next round of discussions coming next week.
There has been "recent" discussions about the possibility of sharing the 49ers new stadium in Santa Clara.
"We have not closed the door on that opportunity, but our focus is on this site," Trask said.
Regarding unconfirmed recent reports that Raiders owner Mark Davis is looking to add a new executive and has interviewed NFL executive vice president of operations Ray Anderson and former Madison Square Garden president Scott O'Neal, Trask said. "I have enjoyed participating in the discussions we've had with each of those gentlemen, but we don't have anything to announce in that regard yet. We're always evaluating opportunities here to do our business better."

The stuff kids really need for high school
Here are some easy tips to help you upgrade your childs supplies for high school. more
Download our BUMPWATCH Pregnancy Tracker. Everything there is to know week by week. FREE
While the local maternity hospital is the most obvious option when choosing the place to give birth, there are many other options you may want to consider. If you are looking for a natural birth, free from pain relief drugs and interventions, then you may want to consider using a birth centre for your labour and birth.
Here's all you need to know about birth centre births:
Consider booking into a birth centre if you want a more 'natural' birth - the philosophy is that birth is a normal process, avoiding medication and other inventions. Most birth centres are midwife-led and attached to a larger hospital, so you may be asked to choose between the labour ward and birth centre when confirming your pregnancy with your GP. Although epidurals, and other medication, aren't available at a birth centre you can request to be transferred to a labour ward if you decide you want drugs as the birth progresses, if labour slows, or if mum or baby become distressed and complications arise.
Birth centres are known for their continuity of care and are usually run by small teams of midwives who you'll see during pre-natal visits, so you may well know the midwife that delivers your baby. Any woman, including first-time mums, can book into a birth centre, although midwives must predict that you'll have a 'normal' labour that will reach full term. Birth centres are more homely than a hospital and there may be a double bed, where you and your partner can fall asleep post-birth with your new baby. While epidurals aren't an option, there will be gas and air, along with natural pain relief options such as a hot tub for water births, a Tens machine, birthing balls and stools or complementary therapies.
A birth centre isn't the place to go if you're set on having an epidural or if you want a private obstetrician, although some private doctors will attend a birth centre birth, so check when choosing your carer. If a c-section becomes necessary, you'll be transferred from the birth centre to the nearest hospital maternity unit. Unfortunately, you won't be able to book into a birth centre if you've previously had a caesarean, have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes or high blood pressure. At birth centres, no interventions, such as episiotomies or forceps or ventouse deliveries take place.
As most birth centres are attached to larger hospitals, they follow the same principals and medical policies as the main hospital, so are just as safe. Despite the lack of medical facilities, studies show that birth centres are just as safe as maternity hospitals. Also remember that the transfer rate from a birth centre to a labour ward is high – sometimes a third or a half of women transfer mid-labour – so doctors are always on hand should complications arise.
Every birth centre will have different facilities – and a smaller suburban hospital may have a maternity unit that is very similar to a birth centre – so ask some questions before booking in. Queries might be whether they perform inductions, how long you can stay at the birth centre post-natally, whether there is any breastfeeding support and what pain relief options will be available. All birth centres also offer tours before your baby arrives, so have a look around before your due date to be absolutely sure you're booked into the right place.

Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education member Glenn Wikle has always been something of an nonconformist—but in recent weeks, his outspokenness has prompted some criticism from fellow board members and the public.
It started with Wikle's last-minute objections to $130 million in bonds for construction projects at local schools. The other four board members, as well as some members of the public, expressed outrage, but voters approved the bonds by a 3-to-1 margin nonetheless. Then, on Feb. 9, the Santa Fe New Mexican published an op-ed by SFPS Citizens Review Committee Chairman Rob Wing.
"Something is very wrong with the announcement, the timing and the reasons given for his change of 'personal opinion,'" Wing wrote of Wikle's decision to oppose the bond. "Trust is precious, Mr. Wikle. Please step down."
Wing wrote about his role on the CRC, a volunteer body whose 11 members, appointed by school board members (with the exception of one union representative), are tasked with recommending how the school board should spend general obligation bond money. Wing also noted that the CRC unanimously recommended the $130 million bond to the school board. (Wikle voted in November to schedule the bond for election, despite later coming out publicly against it.)
Near the end of the op-ed, Wing writes about his day job.
"I have worked for a local contractor for almost five years," he writes, "[as] one of maybe three in Santa Fe that would qualify for district projects."
To Wikle, the fact that someone so closely associated with the construction industry sits on a group that recommends how to spend public money for construction projects raises an eyebrow.
"It's definitely a Santa Fe construction insider working with the system," he tells SFR.
New Mexico Common Cause Executive Director Viki Harrison says even a perceived conflict of interest is problematic. She adds that the rules need to be more clearly delineated.
"The public loses faith in government when something like this happens," Harrison says.
At a school board meeting last week, Wikle proposed reforms to add oversight of the CRC. One proposal encourages the school board to pass a policy that "limits conflicts of interest among CRC members."
"We shouldn't have [SFPS] administrative employees or employees of the construction industry or [SFPS] finance on the CRC," Wikle says.
By finance, he's referring to Lisa Randall, SFPS' energy conservation coordinator. Wikle twice opposed Randall's appointment to the CRC because she works on installing energy conservation projects for the district. As a member of the CRC, she can recommend what portion of the bond money should go toward conservation projects.
Wikle calls it "a clear conflict of interest." Other school board members, however, see it differently.
Board Vice President Linda Trujillo, who recently re-appointed Randall to the CRC, says the district already has a "pretty [well]-defined wall" to limit CRC members from personally benefiting from projects they recommend.
It goes like this: SFPS sends out a team of consultants to determine which of the district's buildings need repairs or improvements. That team reports back to the CRC, which votes on whether to recommend spending money on those needs. The CRC then brings its recommendations to the school board, which can either endorse or reject them. If the board endorses the spending, bonds go up for a public vote.
If the public approves the bonds, SFPS' purchasing department then oversees the bidding process. CRC has no say on how the contracts are actually awarded.
"We are a review committee," Wing, who works for Sarcon Construction Corp., tells SFR. "We don't generate the information."
He says Sarcon hasn't bid on public work in a decade and that he would recuse himself from a vote if a conflict ever arose.
"All he's doing is recommending the bond and different projects to be facilitated throughout the district," board member Steve Carrillo says of Wing. "If he's voting for a contract, that's different."
Trujillo says both Randall's and Wing's industry backgrounds bring expertise to the process, which is "important when you're trying to make important decisions."
But Wikle, while conceding that it's hard to get somebody without a direct interest on a body like the CRC, says it nevertheless "dilutes" the purpose of a citizens' review committee.
"The system seems to lack a kind of independent oversight," he says.

No Signs of Housing Strength
On Wednesday, I wrote about the dichotomy between the positive stock performance of companies in the housing space and the negative performance of mortgages on the books of the money centers this year. I concluded that this can't continue, and either signs of a rebound in housing and mortgage performance must be seen immediately or these stocks would begin to decline dramatically.
I don't think housing is going to show signs of strengthening soon, dramatic or otherwise....443 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Report: Apple to Produce 10 Million iPad Minis in Q4 2012
Tiffany Kaiser
October 8, 2012 1:37 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets
iPad Mini
hasn't even been announced yet, but Apple is already planning to make over 10 million of them in the fourth quarter of this year.
Ten million iPad Minis is almost double the number of Amazon Kindle Fires that were made during Q4 2011 -- and the Fire was the hottest holiday item last year. This shows that Apple has plenty of confidence in its new addition to the iPad family despite the fact that the market is already flooded with 7-inch tablets.
Apple is still the big player in the tablet market with its 9.7-inch iPad, but the tech giant has noticed a new trend that is grabbing customers' attention --
smaller, cheaper tablets
Companies like Amazon, ASUS and Samsung have turned the tablet world upside down with the idea of smaller tablets that are more affordable, but also have strong features. Amazon led the pack with its 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet last year for $199. Samsung's Galaxy Tabs have 7-inch versions in the mix, and more recently, Google teamed up with ASUS for the
7-inch Nexus 7 tablet
for $199.

As if that wasn't enough, Amazon jumped back into the small tablet market with a
refreshed 7-inch Kindle Fire HD for $199
, an 8.9-inch Fire HD for $299 and a 4G LTE HD model for $499. On top of that, the e-tailer is offering a generous data package with its tablets for only $49.99 per year.
It's clear that the smaller tablet market is quite competitive, and it's what customers want. In Q2 2010, Apple had 84 percent of the worldwide tablet market share. In Q2 2012, this number dropped to 69.6 percent, further showing that competitors like Android-powered tablets are cutting in.
Of course, Apple wants a piece of that pie and is looking to hold onto its tablet dominance. Doing so means the release of an iPad Mini, which is rumored to be a 7.85-inch version of the usual 9.7-inch iPad.

Apple is expected to announce the iPad Mini later this month. Last week, Apple's Asian component suppliers
started production of the iPad Mini
, and the tech giant is looking to make about 10 million in Q4 2012 for the holiday season. However, the iPad Mini's success will be largely based on its affordability and features, which have yet to be disclosed.

Cow calf producers are aware that natural colostrum must be ingested by baby calves within 6 hours of birth to acquire satisfactory passive immunity. However some calves do not have ample opportunity to receive colostrum. Perhaps the mother is a thin, two-year-old that does not give enough milk or the baby calf was stressed by a long delivery process and is too sluggish to get up and nurse in time to get adequate colostrum. These calves need to be hand fed stored colostrum in order to have the best opportunity to survive scours infections and/or respiratory diseases. Therefore stored frozen colostrum from a dairy or from other beef cows that lost calves at calving can be on hand to meet these needs.
Colostrum can be refrigerated for only about 1 week before quality (immunoglobulin or antibody concentration) declines. If you store colostrum, unfrozen be sure that the refrigerator is cold (33-35°F, 1-2°C) to reduce the onset of bacterial growth. If the colostrum begins to show signs of souring, the quality of the colostrum is reduced. The immunglobulin (very large protein) molecules in colostrum that bring passive immunity to the calf will be broken down by the bacteria, reducing the amount of immunity that the colostrum can provide. Thus, it is important that colostrum be stored in the refrigerator for only a week or less.
How long can the frozen colostrum be stored? We often answer this question flippantly by saying, "just as long as you would store frozen fish to eat!" Colostrum may be frozen for up to a year without significant breakdown of the immunoglobulins. However this is one example where improved technology is not in our favor. Frost-free freezers are not the best for long-term colostrum storage. They go through cycles of freezing and thawing that can allow the colostrum to partially thaw. This can greatly shorten colostrum storage life. Freezing colostrum in 1 or 2 quart bottles or 1 quart in 1 gallon zip-closure storage bags is an excellent method of storing colostrum. Many producers have had great success using the zip-closure bags. Use two bags to minimize the chance of leaking, and lay them flat in the freezer. By laying the bags flat, the rate of thawing can be increased, thereby reducing the delay between time of calving and feeding. The freezer should be cold (-20°C, -5°F) - it's a good idea to check your freezer occasionally.

text: Scott Shalaway: Building brush piles for wildlife December 29, 2012 Story Share CAMERON, W.Va. -- If you've ever spooked a cottontail in an old field, you probably watched it zig and zag, and then suddenly seem to disappear into thin air. More likely it dashed into the safety of a brush pile.When cabin fever strikes next month, get outside on a mild winter day and build a brush pile for wildlife. It's easy, and it provides valuable habitat to a variety of wildlife including everything from mice and chipmunks to snakes, skunks, and many songbirds.The best place to build a brush pile is on the edge of a wooded area. And they should be placed as far away from houses as possible because some of the species attracted to brush piles can be backyard pests.Begin a brush pile by laying a foundation of large rocks, concrete blocks, old tires, plastic pipes of various diameters, and/or pieces of downspouts to provide refuge for a variety of species. This base layer elevates the first course of logs above the ground so they rot more slowly. It also creates a maze of escape lanes for a variety of small mammals.The next step is to place two or three alternating layers of logs or old fence posts, four to six inches in diameter, perpendicular to each other.Now the foundation is ready for the brush, which can include small trees, broken branches, and at this time of year, used Christmas trees. Most people are happy to donate used Christmas trees to wildlife projects. If you use several conifers, tie them together so they don't scatter in the wind.Though a backyard brush pile might measure 8 feet in diameter and 4 to 5 feet high, if you live in a rural area, more and bigger brush piles are better and will attract more wildlife. On state wildlife management areas, for example, brush piles can stand 10 to 12 feet high and be 20 to 30 feet long. A well-constructed brush pile should last five or six years, though over time it will collapse under its own weight. To extend the life of the pile add to it every year as materials become available. When the pile becomes simply a mass of organic matter, build a new one right next to the old one. If you live in a rural area and have access to some acreage, build a series of brush piles about 20 yards apart to create even more habitat.The success of a brush pile can be evaluated by simple observation. After a significant snowfall, which makes brush piles look like igloos, watch them whenever possible. When predators patrol the area, you'll see birds and mammals dash inside to escape danger.In the morning shortly after daybreak, watch for birds leaving the brush pile. The blanket of snow that covers the pile provides insulation from frigid night air and makes it an ideal roosting site. In late afternoon, watch as these same birds return to the protection of the brush pile to roost. Birds that roost in brush piles include song sparrows, house finches, juncos, white-throated sparrows, and towhees.The best way to evaluate how mammals use a brush pile is to inspect the perimeter each morning, especially after a snow. Look for tracks of everything from small mammals such as shrews, deer mice, and weasels to skunks, raccoons and opossums.A trip to the local library should yield some excellent guides to tracking, including "Field Guide to Tracking Animals in Snow" by Louise Forrest and Denise Casey (1988, Stackpole Books, $19.95), "Tracking and the Art of Seeing: How to Read Animal Tracks and Sign" by Paul Rezendes (1999, Collins, $25), and "Mammal Tracks & Sign: A Guide to North American Species" by Mark Elbroch (2003, Stackpole Books. $46.95).

After winning south of the border for the first time just seven months ago, the Stars and Stripes walked away with a shocking draw against El Tri.
The U.S. men's national team passed a huge test over the last five days as it followed up a victory over Costa Rica with an important 0-0 draw against Mexico in the third matchday of the World Cup qualifying Hexagonal stage at the Azteca Stadium on Tuesday night.
It was only the second away point the USA has taken in Mexico in World Cup qualifying history.
"We wanted to win, but we are pleased with the result," coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "They gave us everything they have."
Mexico failed to score at home for the second time in a pair of Hexagonal matches in Mexico City this year. El Tri played to a scoreless draw against Jamaica in last month's opener followed by a 2-2 tie in Honduras over the weekend. It now has three points in three games.
The U.S. lost its opener on the road against Honduras but bounced back with a 1-0 victory over Costa Rica in snowy Commerce City, Colo., on Friday. The nation's draw against Mexico puts the Americans in a very good position moving forward in qualifying.
The U.S. sits in third place in the Hex standings and Mexico is in fifth. The top three finishers after the 10-game schedule will advance to the World Cup while the fourth-place team will play a one-game playoff against New Zealand for the final spot.
"There are 21 points left. The leader has five; we have three. It's tight," Mexico coach Manuel De la Torre said. "It's close, and of course we are not where we wanted to be. Our obligation is to win at home, and we have left points behind."
The U.S. was 0-23-1 on Mexican soil until last August, when the Americans pulled out an historic 1-0 win in front of a half-empty stadium. On Tuesday, nearly all 104,000 seats were filled in what the Mexican team announced was a sellout, and the U.S. held on tight despite constant pressure.
Mexico had a total of 18 shots (two on target), while the U.S. had one all night (zero on target). In addition, El Tri had 15 corner kicks compared to two for the visitors.
Mexico had the first real opportunity eight minutes into the match when DaMarcus Beasley pushed Javier Aquino just outside the box, earning the U.S. left back a deserved yellow card. Gio Dos Santos took the free kick just to the left of the U.S. goal, but his cross sailed across goalkeeper Brad Guzan and out of bounds.
It was just the beginning of a tough night for the makeshift American back line, which was missing Clarence Goodson (hamstring), Edgar Castillo (facial fractures), Timmy Chandler (hamstring), Steve Cherundolo (knee), Fabian Johnson (hip), Jonathan Spector (ankle), and Danny Williams (illness). Starting keeper Tim Howard (back) was also out.
"You don't want to change too much coming out of a very, very good performance from those guys," Klinsmann said. "You want to build on the confidence of this team that fought through those 90 minutes and not make too many changes."
Mexico dominated scoring opportunities in the first half, although only two of its four shot attempts in the first 45 minutes caused real panic. In both instances Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez headed crosses over Guzan.
The U.S. was only able to create one chance before halftime. Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore worked a give and go in the midfield resulting in Bradley sneaking his way into Mexico's box, but the midfielder was taken off the ball without a penalty called. The Americans finished the first half without a shot on target.
Things for the Americans didn't get much better to start the second half, and Klinsmann looked to give his team a spark by taking out Altidore in favor of Eddie Johnson in the 55th minute.
"Jozy ran out of gas," Klinsmann said. "He used so much energy against Costa Rica on Friday, but they were all totally committed."
Mexico, meanwhile, continued to dig away at the U.S. back four and nearly found the back of the net when Jesús Zavala overpowered Bradley off a corner kick in the 68th minute only to see another Mexico attempt fly above the United States' goal. Seconds later, Graham Zusi hustled back to break up a delivery for what would have been an open Angel Reyna at the six-yard box.
Twice during the match the referee kept his whistles away for what appeared to be clear penalties in favor of Mexico. In the 76th minute, Maurice Edu took down Javier Aquino from behind, causing a stop in play for the players to protest the call with no success.
In the first half, Chicharito was pushed down in the box by Bradley, prompting the assistant ref to raise his flag and signal a foul, only to see it waved off by the man in the middle.
Mexico closed the game with a flurry of corner kicks and held possession through added time, but Omar Gonzalez, Matt Besler, Geoff Cameron and Beasley will get credit for keeping the mighty Mexicans scoreless on their home turf.
"It's always going to be a bit hectic and a bit crazy, especially late in the game," Guzan said. "You're never going to come to a place like Azteca and go out and have it nice and easy. So we knew at some point, it was going to come, the pressure was going to come, and we were able to deal with it."

Owner Trino Alfaro
Vehicle 1964 Chevy Impala
City/State Tracy, California
In this month's From the Hood, we are proud to bring you a glimpse into Trino Alfaro's newest project; this immaculate '64 Chevy Impala SS Convertible. If the car looks familiar to you, that's because it was our cover car for the June '08 issue of Lowrider Magazine. Even though the car was already a work of art, Trino decided to pull out all the stops, refurbishing the entire car into the masterpiece you see here. The '64 was named "Cherry '64," after it was laid down with a custom Candy Apple Red paint job. The rebuild project took only 6 months to finish, and that's without cutting any corners.
Trino really wanted to upgrade the classic Chevy, so nothing was spared when the reconstruction process began. The car was once again taken apart in Trino's garage in Tracy, CA. While Trino worked on dressing up the engine, the body was taken back to paint man Leo Osuna for a facelift. Leo added some custom candy graphics in different shades all over the body, and he also continued these graphics throughout the engine compartment, giving the Impala that extra detail. The fan cover was also painted with flake and candy red stripes. As the paint was added, Trino took the 2000 Chevy 350 and added some extra custom accessories. Theses accessories included a custom engraved and chromed upper radiator hose, air filter, valve covers, and a heater core. He also upgraded the engine with an Edelbrock EnduraShine intake manifold and carburetor. For a cleaner look, all the wires were hidden with flex hoses and custom-bent tubes. The chrome additions to the '64 were sent to Moreno's and Showtime chrome in Fresno, CA. Trino wanted only the best engravers out there to help him out with the project, so different engine parts were sent out to various engravers, including Cortex from Texas, Gino out of Fresno, and Miguel Chavez from Los Angeles. Alberto from Visalia, CA also upgraded the molded hood with a custom mural, using a sexy, "business-female" theme.
After the car was finished, it was sent to the Las Vegas Super Show and displayed as if it was a brand new build. After checking out these pics, you can see for yourself why it was one of the most talked about Lowriders in the Super Show. Make sure you keep picking up LRM to see a full feature of Trino's all new "Cherry '64" in the near future.
