Washington's strategy pays off in ninth inning
Washington's strategy pays off in ninth inning
DETROIT -- Simply put, Rangers manager Ron Washington was more concerned about Miguel Cabrera than Victor Martinez. That's why he made the decision he did in the ninth inning of Monday's game. The Rangers had a 2-0 lead in the ninth, and right-handed closer Neftali Feliz retired the first two hitters he faced. Then Ryan Raburn gave the Tigers some hope with a two-out double to right. That brought up Cabrera, a right-handed hitter, as the tying run. But Washington decided to intentionally walk Cabrera and let Feliz pitch to Martinez, a switch-hitter who would be batting from the left side.
"I had to pick my poison, and I didn't want Cabrera taking us to extra innings," Washington said. "Martinez is a good hitter and I have respect for him, but he's not swinging the bat well. He could have caught one and won the ballgame, but I decided to take my chances. I didn't want Cabrera tying that game." Cabrera, who finished second to Josh Hamilton in the American League MVP voting last season, entered the game hitting .355 with four home runs. Martinez was hitting .255 with two home runs. Cabrera was 2-for-3 on the afternoon while Martinez was 0-for-3. Cabrera was 1-for-3 with a home run in his career against Feliz, while Martinez had a single in his only at-bat against him. "I think the answer is very simple: They did what they felt gave them the best chance to win the game," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "And that's what you do as a manager. If they felt that was their best chance to win the game, then that's what they should do. I give them a lot of credit. "They felt that was their best shot to win the game, and I felt very comfortable with Victor in that position, a very professional hitter, a very good RBI guy. And it looked like he was pitching him a little bit careful." Feliz missed with his first two pitches, but then got Martinez on a routine grounder to first baseman Mitch Moreland to end the game.

Film director Clint Eastwood's love of jazz and American popular song is far from a secret, especially following his feature-length biopic about alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (Bird, 1988), during which the ever restless Eastwood got the idea to produce a feature-length film about pianist Thelonious Monk, released somewhat later during the same year as Straight No Chaser. Hence, it should surprise few that Eastwood will introduce viewers to a month-long 100th birthday celebration of American lyricist Johnny Mercer on Turner Classic Movies (TCM), beginning with Eastwood Presents Johnny Mercer: The Dream's On Me, which will be telecast in the U.S. on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 with a repeat on Wednesday, November 18. Throughout the month of November, when Mercer would have been 100, Wednesdays on TCM will be devoted to classic Hollywood films with lyrics penned and, in some instances, performed by Mercer, who not only wrote but sang more hit songs than virtually any other American songwriter.
The Eastwood opener is admittedly a "teaser," a mosaic of familiar songs and faces that nevertheless succeeds in giving viewers, regardless of their degree of familiarity with Mercer, plenty of motivation to delve into his considerable body of work. (The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer, published by Knopf earlier in 2009, must surely rank among the thickest, heaviest tomes ever produced.) While Mercer's is a familiar voice and face to anyone who remembers the popular music of the 1930s and 1940s, as well as his later work with singers Bobby Darin, Andy Williams and Barry Manilow (who set his elegiac lyric "When October Goes" to music before releasing a recorded performance posthumously), it comes as a surprise to even many of his steadfast admirers to learn that it was Mercer who founded Capitol records, which would go on to become one of the several most important recording companies of the latter half of the 20th century.
But above all, Mercer was a man of words. And more than that he possessed an ear for the vernacular that was capable of transforming song lyrics into poetry. Of all the talking heads in the movie, no one speaks words more from the heart than Tony Bennett: "As far as I'm concerned, Johnny Mercer is American literature." Unlike the sophisticated and cosmopolitan Cole Porter or the ironical, complex Lorenz Hart, Mercer was a regional writer, practically cut out of the same cloth as Southern authors like William Faulkner, Flannery O'Connor, Eudora Welty, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote, Harper Lee and James Dickey, his subjects as much about the sights and sounds of nature as the many faces of romantic love. Bing Crosby is heard stating that Mercer was thought of in the business as the "Huck Finn of American popular music" and as a "good ol' Southern boy."
But the key to Johnny Mercer's art was, more than all else, his love of Southern black culture. Born into a wealthy family, he waived college in favor of exploring the black neighborhoods of his native Savannah, combing stores for the "race records" of the time, and at one point receiving a citation from a black organization that had never met him personally as "our favorite colored singer." Although the Eastwood film attempts to distribute the influences more evenly, pointing out that early on he discovered the witty word play of W. S. Gilbert, the attentive listener or reader of Mercer's lyrics is soon apt to nod in agreement with the words of writer Wilfrid Sheed: "For all his adaptability, there was a black-jazz base in everything Mercer wrote" (The House That George Built, Random House, 2007).
As mentioned above, the clips of Mercer, including his appearances with trumpeter Louis Armstrong and singer/pianists Nat King Cole and, above all, Ray Charles, (Mercer practically changes character when it's his turn to join the duet), are all very brief. Rarely is a song featured for more than eight measures before it fades into the background, yielding to the narration of pianist Bill Charlap or another clip. But the cumulative effect of so many short clips featuring Mercer himself leaves a lasting, memorable impression, practically daring the viewer not to look more deeply into the life and work of one of the century's indisputable geniuses where the dovetailing of music and words is concerned.

PHOENIX—Shortstop Nick Ahmed admits it took him awhile to reclaim his offensive game after being part of the seven-player trade that included Martin Prado and Justin Upton last January.
Ahmed went from the Braves to the Diamondbacks, the first organizational change of his career since being selected in the second round of the 2011 draft out of Connecticut.
Suffice to say, he worked his way through it.
After hitting .138 in his first two months at Double-A Mobile, Ahmed tweaked his approach to borrow some of the old along with some of the new and hit .284 through the final three-plus months of the regular season. He finished hitting .236/.288/.324 overall with 26 stolen bases in 33 attempts.
Even in the hard times, Ahmed never carried his offensive woes into the field, as the 23-year-old won the minor league Gold Glove at shortstop—an award that encompassed all minor league levels.
"It's a great award. It kind of recognizes some of the hard work I put in and the focus I've put on it," Ahmed said. "A lot of time the offensive statistics and the numbers get more recognition and the defensive part of the game gets forgotten. There is definitely more to the game than just hitting. Defense. Baserunning. Being a good teammate. It is a good honor. I'll try to continue to improve my defense and win a few more at the big league level."
Ahmed committed just 13 errors, and two veteran scouts believe his range and arm compare to that of Diamondbacks starter Didi Gregorius, who was also obtained in a trade last winter.
Ahmed received a lot of hitting advice when he joined the D-backs, but in the process got away from trusting himself and his routine, and it took those two months to get it back.
"I got to the point where what I was doing wasn't working. I needed to look at myself and figure out what adjustments I need to make, because I know I am not this bad of a player," Ahmed said.
Salt River righthander Bo Schultz was leading the Arizona Fall League with 20 strikeouts. The 28-year-old had yielded 14 hits and four walks in 18 innings.
Righthander Jake Barrett was 1-0, 1.80 with two saves first five appearances for Salt River. Barrett, whose fastball reaches the high 90s, appears to be a candidate for the Diamondbacks' bullpen in 2014. A third-round pick in 2012 out of Arizona State, Barrett posted a 0.36 ERA and 14 saves in 24 appearances for Mobile last season.

SANTA ANA (CBS) — Democratic campaign treasurer Kinde Durkee is expected to plead guilty to stealing millions from California political clients like U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Santa Ana Assemblyman Jose Solorio.
Durkee was accused of "routinely misappropriating" funds from clients' accounts and filing false reports with the Secretary of State and Federal Elections Commission, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The U.S. Attorneys Office has filed new charges against Durkee, who was arrested last fall, which indicates plea negotiations are in the works, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney in Sacramento told the Bee.
The 17-page complaint says the money of at least 50 victims was transferred between accounts to her firm, Durkee & Associates, without client authorization and was used to pay personal expenses, including a mortgage and credit card bills, payroll and other business expenses. Durkee allegedly squandered a combined $7 million of her clients' money.
Durkee allegedly used $23,000 from Feinstein's federal campaign to help pay a $30,000 American Express bill that included charges from the Los Angeles Dodgers, Amazon.com, Disneyland and Trader Joe's grocery store.
Solorio, who prosecutors say lost more than $600,000 in the hands of Durkee, urged investigators in a statement to "be aggressive in making sure Durkee serves as many years as possible in federal prison."

The present invention relates to a system for controlling the static pressure within a controlled space and, more particularly, to a system which senses the amount of air moving through a hole in the wall in the controlled space for controlling the static pressure therein.
In many applications, it is desirable for controlling the static pressure within a controlled space. For example, in the so called "clean rooms" used, for example, in semiconductor processes and various kinds of laboratories, it is necessary to keep the static pressure within the controlled space above the static pressure of the area outside of the controlled space. This will ensure that contaminants from outside of the controlled space will not migrate into the controlled space. In other applications, such as experiments in laboratories which may produce harmful contaminants, it may be necessary to confine these contaminants within the controlled space. Thus, the static pressure within the controlled space is controlled at a point below the static pressure outside of the controlled space to ensure that such contaminants will not migrate outside of the controlled space.
The prior art has raised or lowered the static pressure within a space either above or below the static pressure outside of the space by placing a fan either in the supply duct to the space or in the exhaust duct. However, such systems did not control the static pressure within the space. Thus, such systems often wasted energy because the fans had to be continually operated at a point to ensure that, during extreme conditions, the space static pressure was either above or below the static pressure outside of the space, as desired. On the other hand, it has been known to utilize static pressure sensors for directly sensing the static pressure within a space to control the amount of air either supplied to the space or exhausted therefrom. Such systems, however, tended to be complex and, therefore, expensive and less reliable. Also, static pressure does not follow a linear relationship with air volume.
The use of a velocity sensor in this type of application has the advantages of being able to control accurately air flows having much smaller values than those for which static pressure sensors can be used, to provide a linear relationship between the velocity of air being sensed and the amount of air being controlled, and to provide a simpler overall system.
It has been known to use velocity sensors for controlling the pressure differential between the interior and exterior of a building. Such prior art systems, however, have at least two disadvantages. First, the velocity sensor itself does not know which way air is passing through it. Thus, it may be possible, as a result of sudden changes in conditions, such as a sudden reversal in air flow moving through the sensor or under start up conditions, that the velocity sensor will control the static pressure within the building at a point negative to the point at which it is designed to control the static pressure. Moreover, unless the air moving through the supply or exhaust duct is also sensed, any changes in static pressure within the duct will not reach the velocity sensor mounted in the wall of the building without a time lag which depends upon the location of the velocity sensor with respect to the duct and the size of the controlled space. This time lag can be substantially reduced by adding a second air flow sensor within the duct itself.
Thus, according to one embodiment of the invention, an air flow sensor is mounted in a hole in a wall of a controlled space for sensing the amount of air moving through the hole, an air flow controller responds to the air flow sensor for controlling the static pressure within the controlled space, and a check valve is associated with the air flow sensor for ensuring that air will flow through the sensor in only one direction.
In a second embodiment of the invention, a first air flow sensor is mounted in one of the ducts associated with the controlled space for sensing the amount of air moving through the duct, and a second flow sensor mounted in a hole in a wall of the controlled space for sensing the amount of air moving through a hole and connected to the first air flow sensor, the first air flow sensor essentially controlling the flow of air, independent of duct static pressure, within the duct and the second air flow sensor controlling the static pressure within the space.
These and other features and advantages will become more apparent from a detailed consideration of the invention when taken in conjunction with the drawing in which the single FIGURE shows a schematic diagram of the present invention.
Controlled space 10 has connected thereto supply duct 11 for supplying air to controlled space 10 and exhaust duct 12 for exhausting air from controlled space 10. In wall 13 of controlled space 10 is located velocity sensor 14 which may be a Honeywell CP980 which comprises a sensing head 15 located in the hole in wall 13 and controller 16 having its port 1 connected to a source of main pressure, its port 3 plugged off and its port 2 acting as an output. Velocity sensor 14 senses the velocity of air moving through the hole in which sensing head 15 is located. Because sensing head 15 is insensitive to the direction of air moving through the hole in which sensing head 15 is located, check valve 17 is connected across sensing head 15. As shown, check valve 17 is arranged for allowing air to move only from within controlled space 10 through sensing head 15 to the exterior of controlled space 10, it being understood that, if the static pressure within controlled space 10 is to be controlled below the static pressure outside of controlled space 10, then check valve 17 can be arranged for allowing air to flow only through sensing head 15 and into controlled space 10. Any tendency of the air to flow in the opposite direction will close the check valve preventing the opposite flow.
Located within exhaust duct 12 is damper 21 for controlling the amount of air being withdrawn from controlled space 10, it being understood that damper 21 could also be located within supply duct 11. Damper 21 is driven by damper motor 22 which receives an input from the output port 2 of controller 23 of second velocity sensor 24 the sensing head 25 of which is located within duct 12 for sensing the velocity of air moving through that exhaust duct. Port 1 of controller 23 is connected to a main source of supply pressure and control port 3 is connected to output port 2 of controller 16.
Output port 2 of controller 16 can be connected directly to damper motor 22 for adjusting damper blade 21 to control the static pressure within controlled space 10. However, changes in static pressure within exhaust duct 12 must first be transmitted through controlled space 10 before this change in static pressure has an effect upon velocity sensor 14. Then, velocity sensor 14 must react through velocity sensor 24 to control damper 21 to readjust the static pressure within controlled space 10. This operation can take an excessive amount of time resulting in improper control of static pressure within controlled space 10. By placing second velocity sensor 24 in a position to sense air flow through exhaust duct 12, any changes in the air flow through duct 12 that may result, for example, from or in changes in static pressure within exhaust duct 12 can be sensed immediately and controlled immediately before these changes in air flow and static pressure reach controlled space 10. Any changes in static pressure within controlled space 10 brought about by other occurrences will be controlled by velocity sensor 14.
The system shown in the drawing controls space 10 at a positive static pressure with respect to the static pressure external to space 10. If, on the other hand, the static pressure within space 10 is to be controlled at a negative value, check valve 17 is arranged to allow air to flow through sensor head 15 and into space 10. Also, sensor 24, damper motor 22, and damper 21 are moved to control air flowing through supply duct 11.

What do you get when you combine Google Maps with Golf? Golfzilla, of course. While the name makes you think that Godzilla will be storming the golf course–he's not–the concept itself is actually pretty cool. Take Google Map's satellite view and combine it with a golf game and you can play any course around the world.
Golfzilla features a bird's eye view, but it's still a great idea and definitely a nice twist on the traditional simulated greens we've grown accustomed to playing on virtually.
{ad}According to the creators, it will be available end of 2008 and will run on Android. They're also expecting it to support P2P battle mode using GTALK and ranking using Google's App Engine. Sounds pretty ambitious but so far the video does look quite promising.

Search continues for first victory
DeSoto was geared for a win against Tonganoxie Friday night as turbulent clouds formed to the north.
DeSoto sophomore Michael Allen returned the game's opening kickoff 57 yards to seemingly spark the winless Wildcats. However, lightning sparked in the sky and the game was postponed.
In the rescheduled game the next day, Allen picked up where he left off, apparently putting the Wildcats on the board first for the first time this season. This time a penalty, not lightning hurt the Wildcats and DeSoto's surge was finished.
Tonganoxie won 18-0, to earn its first win of the season.
DeSoto coach Brad Scott said fumbles, penalties and bad punts hurt his team, but the penalty after the first touchdown was pivotal.
"If that wouldn't have happened, it would have been a completely different game," Scott said.
The Chieftains led 6-0 at halftime and added touchdowns in the remaining two quarters to seal the victory. Tongie senior running back Jacob Sledd scored all of his team's touchdowns.
DeSoto must now direct its attention to a non-conference game. Marysville comes to DeSoto with a 3-1 record. The Bulldogs lone loss was a 14-6 defeat at Hiawatha.
Scott said Marysville would probably be the best team DeSoto would face so far, but he wasn't going to change his game plan.
"We'll approach it the same way we've approached the four before," Scott said. "We'll just keep getting better."

The Week Ahead
Monday, May 19, 10 a.m. EDT -- The Conference Board's index of leading indicators for April is forecast to have improved by a small 0.1%, following two straight monthly declines, including a 0.2% fall in March. That's according to the median forecast of economists surveyed by MMS International.
Tuesday, May 20, 2 p.m. EDT -- The federal government will most likely report a $50 billion surplus in April, following a $58.7 billion deficit in March. So far federal receipts this tax-filing season have been the lowest since 1998. Last April, the surplus came in at $67.2 billion, after an average April surplus of $136.3 billion over the previous five years. The Congressional Budget Office recently revised its deficit estimate for the 2003 fiscal year, ending on Sept. 30, to over $300 billion, from $246 billion. The CBO cited weaker-than-expected revenues and increased spending.
Thursday, May 22, 8:30 a.m. EDT -- New filings for state unemployment benefits probably reached 405,000 for the week ending May 17. Initial unemployment claims have been trending downward since the recent peak of 459,000 posted in mid-April.

Robers v. United States - Post-Decision SCOTUScast
SCOTUScast 5-28-14 featuring Peter Thomson
On May 5, 2014, The Supreme Court announced its decision in Robers v. United States. This case involves the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act of 1996, which requires one who has obtained property fraudulently to return it or (if return is not possible) pay "an amount equal to . . .the value of the property" less "the value (as of the date the property is returned) of any part of the property that is returned." The question here is whether a defendant who fraudulently obtained a loan, for which he provided a mortgage as collateral, returned "any part of the property" when his lenders foreclosed on the mortgage.
In a unanimous decision delivered by Justice Breyer, the Court held that the statutory phrase "any part of the property" refers only to the specific property lost by the victim, which in the case of a fraudulently obtained loan is the money lent. Thus, no part of the property is returned until the collateral is sold and the victim receives money from the sale. Thus, any amount due is reduced not by the value of the collateral when the victim received it, but by the value of the proceeds the victim received when the collateral was sold. The decision of the Seventh Circuit was affirmed. Justice Sotomayor filed a concurring opinion, which Justice Ginsburg joined.
To discuss the case, we have Peter Thomson, who is a partner at Fowler Rodriguez.

The Blizzard
Now that the worst is over, they predict
Something messy and difficult, though not
Life-threatening. Clearly we needed
To stock up on water and candles, making
Tureens of soup and things that keep
When electricity fails and phone lines fall.
Igloos rise on air conditioners, gargoyles
Fly and icicles shatter. Frozen runways,
Lines in markets, and paralyzed avenues
Verify every fear. But there is warmth
In this sudden desire to sleep,
To surrender to our common condition
With joy, watching hours of news
Devoted to weather. People finally ...

AUSTRALIAN actress Nicole Kidman has stepped into the elegant shoes of Grace Kelly for an upcoming movie on the late Hollywood star.
Capturing the glacial beauty and elegance of Kelly, this is the first look at Kidman as the famous blonde princess she plays in Grace of Monaco which is set to be released in 2014.
The $15.8 million movie follows Kelly during the 1960s when her husband, Prince Rainier III, and French President Charles De Gaulle were battling over Monaco's status as a tax-haven.
Directed by Olivier Dahan of La Vie en Rose fame, Grace of Monaco also stars Tim Roth as Prince Rainier and has just started shooting.
Other cast members include Milo Ventimiglia, Paz Vega, Parker Posey and Frank Langella.
Kidman, 45 will take a brief break from filming to fly from Nice to Australia to attend the races at Flemington on Derby Day, November 3.
Kidman will be joined trackside by her parents, Antony and Janelle Kidman. Her arrival is expected to bring plenty of glamour to the first big day of Melbourne's Spring Racing Carnival but she is only expected to be in the country for less than 24 hours.
She will then jet back to France to continue filming. Despite her fleeting stay Kidman said she loved the races and was excited to return to Australia next month.
"My dad used to take me ... to enjoy the spectacle, the fashions, the horses and the crowds."

Senator Romero takes on the "toughest assignment of all" in California schools
Senate hearing at Locke High School focused on how to turn around low-performing schools
State Senator Gloria Romero, chair of the Senate Education Committee, held a public hearing on Monday night on how to turn around low-performing schools, including the story of Locke High School's transformation in South L.A.
"This is a civil rights issue," said Romero (D-East Los Angeles).
In her introduction, she unfurled a list of 581 California public schools that have failed to meet academic targets for more than seven years as proof that current intervention strategies are not working. She said she was tired of hearing excuses from administrators, teachers and others who blame students, poverty, parents or other factors.
"I've heard it all," said Romero. "Too often, legislators want to take the path of least resistance.
Senator Romero said that many in Sacramento don't believe school turnaround is possible.
"The people who say it's not happening, tell them to come to South Central and check out Locke," said Aubrey Ross, 16, a current student at Locke. He said he was nervous when he started there after hearing about fights at the school from his older cousin, but said he felt very supported by teachers and staff and was making a 4.0 GPA.
Renee Lloyd, 18, said when she first came to Locke, it didn't seem like anyone cared and when she acted up, there were never consequences, but now she's getting A's and B's and wants to become a criminal defense attorney.
Steve Barr, founder of Green Dot Public Schools, and Marco Petruzzi, Green Dot chief executive officer both testified on Monday. Barr is a frequent adviser to U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan on turning around chronically failing schools, which Duncan has called "the toughest assignment of all" in public education today. The issue is a focus of President Obama's Race to the Top program, which will award competitive grants to states making progress in four areas, including school turnaround.
"I think the biggest issue is, frankly, courage and determination to do this," said Petruzzi. "There are so many schools and kids at-risk that we need to throw everything at the problem."
He emphasized that Green Dot's approach is not the only one, that their program is a work in progress and they consider it just one blueprint among many.
"Los Angeles is a hub of innovation," said Barr. "We just need to rally."
He criticized LAUSD for its top-heavy bureaucracy, arguing that charter schools have an advantage by being directly funded.
"All dollars should go to a school site and let them make the decision. Then public confidence will come back," said Barr. He also said that there isn't a shortage of teachers, but that too many teachers don't feel supported by their districts and principals.
Several of those who testified said one of the biggest challenges in turnaround, but also a game-changer, is changing the culture of the school from apathy to one of success, empowerment and hope.
"Long-term, lasting transformation in schools requires long-term, lasting transformation in communities," said Dr. Winston Doby with the Los Angeles Urban League, who said that efforts to transform the community go beyond the school walls and encompass many areas.
Reverend Eric Lee, Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference Los Angeles argued for system and district-wide change to benefit all students. He emphasized that costs have to be framed from a personal perspective.
"The question that needs to be asked is 'What is the cost of not reforming education?'" he said.
Gary Orfield, co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA, said simple solutions are inadequate and that the Legislature's many simplistic efforts since the 1980s have all failed.
Marshall Tuck, Partnership for Los Angeles Schools, and Michael Piscal, Founder of Inner City Education Foundation Public Schools, both discussed their organization's approaches. Yolie Flores Aguilar, a member of the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, discussed her Public School Choice Resolution which opens up new and low-performing LAUSD schools to outside management.
Senator Romero proposed SB 742 earlier this year which called for immediate action to turn around the lowest-performing schools in California. She is also a co-author of
SB X5 1 (Romero, Huff, Alquist, Wyland), a bipartisan bill pending in the State Senate, that would require California to identify the bottom five percent of lowest-performing schools for aggressive turnaround strategies and empower parents whose children are trapped within California's low-performing public schools.

Doom in '08!
Wouldn't a debate between him and Howard Dean be awesome?
Doom, I'm going to take Utah, and then Wyoming, and then Minnesota.... yeeeeeeHAW!
Cretin! You will kneel before the power of Doom!
Then, Doom would nuke Wyoming back to the Stone Age to make his point. Dean would subsequently condemn Doom's actions via a full-page ad in Entertainment Weekly.
Who would win? Whoever spoke out against abortions and gay marriage. I'm pulling for Doom. For no one knows what's best for me.... except my mighty sovereign, Dr. Doom! Rock the vote!

I don't know, I think that lately, Doom has been MUCH more reasonable than say...Tony Stark.

The controversial San Francisco city plan to roll out universal health care coverage for residents won a huge victory when the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the plan could go ahead. The court allowed the city to proceed with its plan to require all businesses with more than 20 employees to pay a fee to help cover health care costs.
The law had been scheduled to go into effect on Jan. 1, but a federal trial court ruled that the legislation conflicted with a federal law regulating employment benefits. The appeals court panel overturned that decision, concluding the ordinance was within the city's power to enact.
The law requires employers with more than 20 employees to pay a minimum health care contribution of $1.17 to $1.76 per hour for each employee. The money can be used for private insurance, health savings accounts or payment into a new health program for the city called Healthy San Francisco.
Final note: The case isn't over. Although the judges said the city could implement the plan because they believe the ordinance will be held constitutional, the lawsuit will proceed. Meanwhile, San Francisco employers must comply.

For seven of my 10 weeks of rapidly vanishing summer vacation, I was, or will be, away from home. Five of those seven weeks were, or will be, spent at two separate camps.
I've already attended what I'd call a very traditional and outdoorsy camp, operated by the Athens YWCO, where my days were spent canoeing and doing art projects.
For the next two weeks, I'll be attending an academic camp at Emory University, a pre-college program where I'll be taking a course in psychology.
These days, there are a lot of options as far as camps and other summer programs are concerned, and many of them are academic in nature. Among them is the Governor's Honors Program, where you have to get a teacher's recommendation and go through an interview process to be accepted for a month-long academic experience. For younger kids, the Red Clay writing camp, a week-long day camp here in Athens for writing stories and performing skits.
There are tons of other camps like these, and while attending various academic and enrichment programs may not seem ideal for summer, young people can really benefit from them. Spending just a week of summer writing and being creative is a great thing.
Honestly, though, attending these programs almost feels like sacrificing my summer -- the short time I have during the year to relax, get away from the stress of school and be with my friends whenever I want.
Being away so much during the summer takes that opportunity away, and the feeling that I'm missing out on things isn't a good one.
Despite this, I -- along with tons of other people -- make the choice to leave home and that relaxing, summer feeling for school-type work, because the experiences are things I know I'll appreciate later.
In a couple of years, when I'm filling out college applications, I know I'll be glad I spent time away getting a small taste of what college will be like. I'll know what it's like to live in a dorm and have a roommate.
I feel the same way about the YWCO camp. I just returned from three weeks there, marking the end of my fifth year, last Saturday.
I've benefited tremendously from my time there in ways I hadn't even realized until recently.
Each day, we'd have meetings with all of the eight girls who, like me, were in their second year of being a counselor- in-training.
One day our leader asked us how we'd be different if we'd never come to camp.
It took me a while to come up with a good answer, one that really affects me in everyday life. I realized, though, that there were so many aspects of my personality that would've been different had I not come to camp.
For instance, I can work with other people better, especially kids. I'm more outgoing. I appreciate being outside, and have learned to live without air-conditioning.
I'm better at solving problems. I can have a positive attitude in even the worst situations.
And the list goes on, and on.
The weeks spent away from home seem really to have benefited me, and I know I'll continue to go back to various camps year after year.
After having such a fantastic experience at YWCO camp, I can only hope Emory will measure up. My time there will be very different, I'm sure, from my time at YWCO camp, but they'll both help to shape who I am, and help me in the future.

Spring Activities for Toddlers
In her latest Parent Panel post Cathy from NurtureStore shares some wonderful ideas for activities to enjoy with your tots this Spring.
Spring is here and it's such a lovely time to have a toddler around. There's lots of fun to be had celebrating the new season with lots of spring-like arts, crafts, games and play. The warmer weather means it's easier to spend more time outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and playing in the garden.
Here's a fiesta of fun-filled spring ideas just right for little kids.
Spring activities for toddlers
Bake some flower cookies. Use this easy cookie recipe, stamp out some flower shapes and let the children use icing pens and sprinkles to add lots of colour and make a batch of spring blooms they can eat.
Use left-over plastic Easter eggs to play this fun colour-sorting game.
Invite your toddler to join in with the spring cleaning. Use these ideas for a child-sized cleaning kit and let your toddler join in with some grown up work.
Use a flower as a paint brush. Choose a fairly robust flower such as a chrysanthemum, set out some saucers of paint and print yourself a spring picture.
Update your sand pit by adding in lots of spring materials to make a pretend potting shed. Add in plant pots, trowels and artificial flowers and your kids can dig and plant their own garden.
And why not grow some real flowers too? Choose large seeds such as sunflowers or pumpkins so they are easy for toddlers to handle and plant them in pots of compost.
Peas and beans are great to start off in a clear plastic glass as your children can watch the roots and shoots appear.
You can make a beautiful flower garden inside too by using sticky-backed plastic and paper cake cases to create a sticky wall garden. The sticky-backed plastic is a great material for kids' art and they can remove and change bits of the picture when they like, and add in other flowers and animals all through the spring.
Scrunchy tissue paper is a great touchy-feely material for toddler to use too. Choose some spring colours and combine it with a paper plate to make a spring wreath for your front door.
You could talk about all the baby animals being born at this time of year and then make your own lamb or bunny craft – easy designs that very young children can make.
These are some of our favourite spring activities for toddlers. What have you got planned for your children?

The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] on Wednesday ruled [opinion, PDF] that former US attorney general John Ashcroft [JURIST news archive] is entitled to absolute immunity from the claims of a Muslim American detained for two weeks after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 [JURIST news archive]. The ruling is consistent with the recent US Supreme Court [official website] decision [opinion, PDF; JURIST report] in Ashcroft v. al-Kidd [Cornell LII Backgrounder] that reversed the appeal court's denial of Ashcroft's motion to dismiss. Ashcroft had appealed the decision [JURIST report] of the Ninth Circuit appeals court that absolute and qualified [AELE backgrounders] immunity do not shield him from the suit. Al-Kidd, an American citizen who was detained pursuant to a material witness warrant later found to be factually inaccurate, had argued that qualified immunity did not apply because the detention violated his Fourth Amendment [text] rights. The Supreme Court ruled 8-0, with four concurrences, to reverse and remand the appeal court's decision, holding that Ashcroft did not violate clearly established law and was thus entitled to qualified immunity. The Supreme Court also ruled that a witness in a terror investigation cannot challenge the constitutionality of an objectively reasonable arrest pursuant to a validly obtained warrant even if the government did not call or had no intention of calling the witness for trial.
Various courts have issued opinions on claims filed by detainees against the government in relation to the post-9/11 detentions. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] in December 2009 that post-arrest detention is legal in cases where the detainees are reasonably detained. In November 2009, five men who claim they were illegally detained after 9/11 reached a settlement agreement [CCR release; JURIST report] with the US government for $1.26 million. In 2007, a district court judge granted the government's motion to dismiss [text, PDF] a number of those claims against Bush administration officials and law enforcement organizations in Turkmen v. Ashcroft [CCR backgrounder], but refused to dismiss the abuse claims. Also in 2007, the government criminally charged [JURIST report] several guards at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn [official website], the location in which men were detained, with abusing prisoners.

LAHORE: A Pakistani court has acquitted a Christian man who was sentenced to death for blasphemy six years ago in the country's second largest city, lawyers said Thursday.
Younis Masih, 34, a labourer, was arrested in September 2005 in the low-income Qenchi Amar Siddhu neighbourhood of Lahore after local residents accused him of interrupting a gathering of Sufi singing to make blasphemous remarks.
Masih's lawyer, Naeem Shakir, said his client was sentenced to death in May 2007 and fined 100,000 rupees ($1,000), but appealed to the high court in Lahore.
"The high court on Wednesday decided to overturn the death sentence and ordered that Masih be acquitted," Shakir told AFP.
"I argued the case in February and put to the court that there is no direct evidence against Younis Masih and that the case was based on hearsay," he said.
Blasphemy is a very sensitive issue in Pakistan, where 97 percent of the 180 million population are Muslims, and even unproven allegations can spark a violent public backlash.
Rights campaigners argue the blasphemy laws, for which the maximum penalty is death, are often abused to settle personal scores and should be reformed.
Shakir said his client would be freed "in a couple of days" after he obtained a written copy of the decision and a detailed judgement.
The deputy prosecutor general confirmed the acquittal.
Nadeem Anthony, a lawyer working for the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan also confirmed the acquittal and hailed the high court decision.
Last month, more than 3,000 furious Muslims rampaged through the Joseph Colony area of Lahore, looting property and burning buildings after a Christian was accused of blasphemy.
Surrounding Punjab province was also the scene of one of the worst outbreaks of anti-Christian violence when a mob burned 77 houses and killed seven people in the town of Gojra in 2009 after rumours that a Quran had been desecrated.

When is the truth the truth...and if he says he wants our marriage, do I believe that too?
Edited for follow up question...reading the posts here, I see SO MANY with more than one DD. Is there even hope? If he's been unfaithful for our entire marriage, is the rest inevitable?
[This message edited by kickboxer at 11:56 PM, July 23rd (Tuesday)]
WOW -- I'm just so sorry.
An unknown number of others??? Goodness.
I'm not really sure when you will know when you have ALL THE TRUTH...it just keeps coming and coming.
Was the 2nd PA less than a year ago a long-term-affair? IF so: How long did the affair last, and when did it end?
I'm just so sorry.
I can understand being alone; but I hate being with someone and feeling lonely.
I can't breath.
I'm dying.
I just know this is what dying a painful death must feel like.
His behavior sounds compulsive to me. I would guess he DOES want the marriage, but what you need to do now is think about what you want. And get tested for STD's.
If you want to try to save the marriage, he's going to need some serious counseling. 13 years of bad behavior isn't going to disappear overnight.
Take a few deep breaths, a bubble bath, get some rest and make some space from him. Drink plenty of water and try to eat. Take it one minute at a time.
And sad.
And shocked.
It's almost like you are dealing with two (or three) different people. Serial cheaters who are able to be married and compartmentalize their cheating are a tough nut to crack.
He is going to SAY what ever he thinks you want to hear. But the reality is, you have NO IDEA what (or who) he is really doing behind the scenes.
If you were dealing with a WS who was being completely open, transparent, and remorseful, that would be one thing. But this appears to be a WS who only admits to what you know. And he only offers "trickle-truth" when he is confessing. This is not remorse.
You are dealing with multiple OP's and now multiple d-days. Why are you so desperate to work this out, when he has been the big screw up in the marriage?
My advice to you would be to take a giant step back. You need to regroup and realize that you can't "wish" this marriage to be better. He needs to take the lead. My bet is if you take a step back in the "fixing" he will drop the ball a resume he regular behavior. His ACTIONS after you step back will tell you your next move.

Sometimes sea changes come so slowly that when they finally arrive, they barely make it into the news. So it was the other day when President Barack Obama said that marijuana, long classified as one of our worst drugs, is really about the same as alcohol.
"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice," Obama said. "I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol."
This story ran on page A6 of The Seattle Times. That's probably because the implication of these words — that pot should be legalized, or at a minimum, decriminalized — has already been embraced by voters here. It's another example of how the "change" president has spent his years mostly following big cultural changes, not leading them.
Still, that the president just declared a major plank of the War on Drugs to have been wrongheaded is big news. So big that his own Office of National Drug Control Policy hasn't gotten the memo.
"The administration steadfastly opposes legalization of marijuana and other drugs because legalization would increase the availability and use of illicit drugs, and pose significant health and safety risks to all Americans," the drug czar's website says.
Well, alcohol poses significant health and safety risks, too. It's just not a crime to drink, which is the key distinction. Obama wasn't encouraging pot use. He was saying it makes no sense to treat people as criminals for it.
This all strikes me as a big deal because I came of age in the "Just Say No" time of zero, or little, tolerance. After youthful marijuana use felled a U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Douglas Ginsburg, in the late 1980s, marijuana use became a litmus-test question even in local politics. I remember a King County, Wash., executive candidate, Bruce Hilyer, who later became a Superior Court judge, fumbling the question at a televised debate and staring flummoxed into the cameras.
Some critics are bashing Obama for encouraging nationwide dope smoking, but he was actually pretty negative about it, calling it "a waste of time and not very healthy."
He also pointed out, correctly I think, that "the experiment taking place in Colorado and Washington is going to be a challenge." Will pot use here rise? Maybe. Will there be more drug addiction or abuse? Will it spark a drive to legalize harder drugs?
Right now my neighborhood is having some second thoughts about the experiment. A nearby corner is zoned for pot shops, and could end up with as many as half a dozen in one block. "Little Amsterdam," some are calling it in protest.
For my entire life, honest talk about the drug issue has seemed impossible because of the hectoring, shaming stance of the government and hypocrisy of the lawmakers (remember "I didn't inhale"?). It really is a big change now just to hear a different tone.

cool design!
may you check my first design here:
I like the colour combination a lot! Your concept made me laugh a bit haha: ''either holding his dead girlfriend or his new wife''.
Great! Next time tho, I would make a body complete if it's placed on the chest (so that you also see the feet).
I wish you good luck! :) And a vote from me for sure +1
Perhaps you could check out mine as well?:
Thanks for the constructive criticism, I'll keep that in mind for next time!

Where Milton Glaser looks for inspiration
There seems to be a lot of list-making in the air. There are Phaidon's recent Top 100 books. Art Basel in Switzerland is going on right now, a veritable who's who and who's best in the art world. After Cannes a month back we had the Tony Awards which announced Scarlett Johansson as a new best in theatre. Soccer teams are duking it out in the World Cup to see who's best, at Le Mans last weekend we saw who raced the best, fastest and longest and this past Sunday we saw another feat at Wimbledon. The competitions for top rank abound, and let's not forget design. In a recent interview with Print Magazine, Milton Glaser, designer and founder of New York Magazine, gave his own list of designers who have inspired his work over the course of his long career. It's a good list, but alas, no pictures! To amend a case of better seen than heard I offer here a visual list of Milton's Top 5. If you're in need of a bit of midweek inspiration, click forth!

Bert van Marwijk has signed a two-year extension to his contract with the Dutch national team, committing to the post until after the UEFA EURO 2012 finals.
"Everyone can see the progress we have made over the past two years, but we are not done yet," said the former Feyenoord and BV Borussia Dortmund coach, who guided the Netherlands to this summer's FIFA World Cup with maximum points in qualifying. "It brings calm to the team when the coach extends his contract at an early stage [the 57-year-old's deal was due to expire in July]."
Van Marwijk made the announcement in Noordwijk, where the Netherlands are preparing for Wednesday's friendly against fellow World Cup finalists the United States. He replaced Marco van Basten after UEFA EURO 2008 and led the Oranje to eight wins in as many games en route to South Africa – Spain were the only other team to go through European qualifying with a 100% record.
Van Marwijk's entire coaching team, including assistants Dick Voorn, Phillip Cocu and Frank de Boer, have been rewarded with similar deals. "It is of great value to me that my staff can all stay together," he said. "That was a deciding factor for me."

So are you getting tired of all these posts about my little one yet? I don't want to bore you, but he is my life right now and my only client I am working with while on maternity leave. I am currently scheduling appointments for the end of September and am actually booking up pretty fast. So it won't be long until I have photography sessions to blog about again. But until then I will continue to share my experiences as a new mom with you.
Elijah was two weeks old on August 5th. Time is seriously flying! Look at how much he has already changed.
He is beginning to stay awake more and has already lost some of that newborn squishiness. But I am enjoying every minute I have with him.
Here are his two week old photos. He was not really enjoying his photo session this week as you can see. Thanks to my awesome husband who assisted me. You rock.

she is a doll and so super sweet!!!
I'm Holly from Life as a Lofthouse, and I'm so honored to be guest posting on Inside BruCrew Life today. I adore Jocelyn and her amazingly delicious blog!
Some facts about me: I am a mother to 3 kids, and married 6 years to my best friend. I've worked in the medical field for 12 years. I have been at my current job as a surgery scheduler for 5 years and I love it. I also love to cook and bake. It's my ultimate passion!
I started my food blog almost 2 years ago, and have so much fun doing it. I am all about easy and simple recipes that taste delicious! I am a busy Momma, so I need quick recipes that are family-friendly. That's what my blog is all about.
Today I'm sharing a fun Neapolitan Cake I made for my daughters birthday. It's a semi-homemade cake, made from boxed cake mixes with homemade frostings! The best part about it is the fun Rose design.
It looks complicated, but is pretty simple to do. All you need is a 2D cake decorating tip to make those pretty roses. For the tutorial go here: www.iambaker.net

Klitschko cross punches in political knockout
Ukraine's Klitschko brothers have taken on the boxing world, now it is time for Vitali Klitschko to enter the political ring. Foreign Correspondent's Eric Campbell says it's going to be an intriguing fight.
When it comes to the world stage, our politicians often tell us that Australia "punches above its weight". Try telling that to a boxing champion.
In the two weeks I spent chasing Vitali Klitschko and his equally enormous brother Wladimir, I had to wonder if there was a lower class than flyweight. The chance to appear on Australian television seemed as enticing as an invitation to chat on Cambodian community radio.
Days were spent chasing them around Bern in Switzerland for the chance of a 'vox pop', where you thrust a microphone forward and hope they say something before security removes you.
Many more days were spent in Kiev in Ukraine, staking out political and sporting events in the hope they might appear and calling their office staff so much they'd skip telephone pleasantries and go straight to "Nyet".
But in reporting, as in boxing, you can wear almost any opponent down. When Vitali Klitschko finally met us for an interview, staring down at me from his 200 centimetre (six foot seven) height, his first words were: "You Australians are killing us!"
"That's what we do," I answered in a squeaky voice, staring up. "We intimidate people". He didn't seem to get the joke.
The Klitschko brothers are perhaps the most intriguing boxing combination in history. Two brothers who grew up poor in the former Soviet Union somehow both managed to become simultaneous world heavyweight champions, winning all four international boxing belts. Only one thing stops them deciding who is the undisputed world champion. They've promised their Mum they'll never fight each other.
In Europe and America they enjoy a similar legendary status to Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali. Strangely enough they're almost unknown in Australia. That could be because nobody here's managed to do a story on them before. Or perhaps we're not a boxing mad nation. Or maybe since Normal Mailer left the writing ring, nobody's been able to convey the epic, gladiatorial beauty of pugilism.
(Certainly not me. Wladimir Klitschko's title fight in Bern was the first boxing match I'd even seen. It was a relief that one of the other journalists in the press room was even more ignorant, asking me if he should write 'knockout' or 'technical knockout'. I helped him out by googling the answer.)
But the brothers' rise is an astonishing yarn. Raised in a military family that dragged them round the Soviet Union, they reached manhood in post-Soviet Ukraine when the only work options for tough young men was in the mafia. Instead, they forged themselves by pure willpower into the world's greatest boxers. Along the way, they learned fluent English and German and managed to get two PhDs, which explains their boxing monikers Dr Ironfist and Dr Steelhammer.
Now at 41, when he should be retiring to enjoy his boxing millions, big brother Vitali is going into an equally tough arena, Ukrainian politics. He's formed a party called United Democratic Action for Reform (UDAR) to contest the October parliamentary elections. Udar is Ukrainian for 'punch' and it's a fitting name. Parliament regularly dissolves into fist-fights that are more barroom brawl than Queensberry Rules.
"There is nothing to compare politics and sport," Wladimir told me. "Sport has certain laws and rights and rules. But politics, even if you have laws as well, there's like no rules."
And it can be life threatening. One opposition leader, Viktor Yushchenko, was horribly disfigured by dioxin poisoning before becoming president. His prime minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, was thrown in jail after she narrowly lost the presidential election to the pro-Russian strongman, Viktor Yanukovych, two years ago.
But the Klitschko brothers, not surprisingly, aren't scared of a fight.
"We have to change a lot of things in Ukraine," Vitali says. "And I know one thing better than anyone. No fight, no win."
It's going to be an intriguing fight. But in a contest without rules, I suspect it won't end in a technical knockout.
Eric Campbell's Foreign Correspondent report will air tonight at 8pm on ABC1.
Eric Campbell is one of Australia's most experienced international reporters. In a 20-year career he has worked in more than 40 countries, specialising in Asia and the former Soviet Union. View his full profile here.

Great boxers. Have smashed all comers for years, demoralising US boxers in particular. Politicians? Who knows. Ukraine must come to terms with Russia, theres no escaping that
28 Aug 2012 10:04:05am
Let us all wish them well. Ukraine has a long chequered history, currently upsetting and divisive. These brothers, amazing sportsmen hardly known in the egocentric, USA-dominated sporting circles of the west, are gentlemen, scholars, warriors, fine citizens. If only we had some.
28 Aug 2012 10:56:15am
I can tell you that these two are quite intelligent fellows, being a Ukrainian citizen I can definetely tell that our political scenery requires an urgent refreshment...I hope it all goes well, enough of people's suffering...as boxers, these two have been winning for a while , i have followed them since their amateur careers...
28 Aug 2012 12:27:58pm
Have been a big fan of the Klitschko brothers in boxing and hope they enjoy the same success in the political arena. Looking forward to watching Foreign Correspondent tonight. Well done - good article and good on you with your persistence in finally getting words out of the boys.

I'll watch with interest. From what i have seen of the Klitschko brothers, they could be just what the Ukraine needs. These guys certainly aren't lightweights. They are real heavyweights in all walks of life. They also understand Russia - their father was a Soviet airforce general (responsible for cleaning up Chernobyl and getting thyroid cancer for his efforts).
28 Aug 2012 1:46:45pm
No way does Vitali have a prayer in hell to win the mayoral election. Trust me he will fight another 2 or 3 years. People are listening to propaganda of the illuminati!
28 Aug 2012 5:49:58pm
I'm really impressed that this impressive journo has presented a story with virtue, rather than mere appeal. i hope and trust we will be updated, frequently! thank you!
28 Aug 2012 8:28:10pm
Well, at least we know he can handle himself if it comes to fisticuffs in the parliamentary chamber. Not many are likely to take him on!
But he is a very intelligent individual and deserves a chance in the political arena. If Peter Garrett and Tony Abbott can be politicians, there's no limit Vitali can reach.
28 Aug 2012 10:09:17pm
Not liked much in the US due to being a defensive fighter who keeps beating, much like his brother, all of the American stiffs that are put in front of him. The best fist fighter on the planet, I just hope he fights & pounds David Haye at some stage.
Hope he survives the Ukrainian political scene.
Black Dog:
29 Aug 2012 11:18:35am
There is indeed a weight below flyweight. It is called minimumweight (Julia Gillard). It used to be called strawweight (Tony Abbot). True.
What would be really good would be if this country could get intelligent, no nonsense politicians (which these two brothers definately are). Maybe then the morose that the majority of us must surley be feeling could pass.
But I'm not holding my breath.
Bob the Battler:
29 Aug 2012 5:24:52pm
Sorry for being a pedantic twit, but I think you might mean 'morass' the noun, rather then 'morose' the adjective.
30 Aug 2012 12:27:04am
I am sending this post on the condition that my address won't be passed on to the brothers for fear of being beaten to a pulp !
I am not a boxer, but I had watched many boxing matches. Some very memorable ones were, for example, between M. Ali and J.Frazer. M.Ali was very skillful, and he met his match with J.Frazer who was a hard puncher.
The matches shown of the brothers were nowhere as good. Their opponents were chubby and not much of a fighter, in my humble opinion.
If the two brother are good enough to represent the Ukrainians, then perhaps it is not too far fetched if Silvester Stallone becomes the next president of the US ? The US can cut its defence budget right back, and just air-drop Mr. Rambo to Afghanistan to single handedly sort out those pesty Talibans. Perhaps Arnie should be brought back from retirement to give Rambo a hand... "I'd be back" !
