Serving others and the planet through conservation
By Thomas Van Horn
Earth Day is an annual reminder that our planet needs our help. It is also a great opportunity for Scouts and Arrowmen to provide meaningful service to help conserve their area's natural beauty. With Earth Day approaching on April 22nd, 2015, we wanted to know about some of the best conservation-themed service projects from across the nation. So we took to Facebook and the responses were astounding.
Many Arrowmen commented about their experiences at OA High Adventure, most often the Philmont OA Trail Crew (OATC). As an integral part of the Philmont conservation crew, OATC helps create and maintain trails that work with the landscape and will be around for 50 years or more. OA programs from the past, including ArrowCorps5 and ArrowPower were also popular answers. These programs have provided thousands of service hours to our National Parks, helping to rebuild damaged trails and remove invasive species that threaten local species. Some sections, such as Section C-6B, have even sponsored special conservation projects for their Arrowmen.
For many, however, their favorite conservation project occurred at the local level. Claude Thouret remembers a time when "there were projects for merit badges only." His favorite was the Conservation merit badge, where he had an anti-erosion project to help a local farmer. Glenn Draper remembers planting smog-resistant trees in the local mountains, while Gareth Evans likes any project "that let me cut down honeysuckle then take a weed-whip and destroy the bushes." The majority of local conservation service projects came from Eagle Scout projects. Departing from the old standard of building things, these dedicated Scouts took it upon themselves to improve their community through conservation.
One such Scout is Matthew Watson, who most enjoyed preserving the old baptism trail at his church, which has been around since before the Civil War, for his Eagle Scout service project. Matthew explained that this trail, the Standing Springs Baptist Church baptism trail, is the oldest monument in Simpsonville, South Carolina. However, over time it had become very rough and deeply forested and there was no way the older members of the church could hike it. For his project, he brought 80 volunteers to completely remake the trail, including adding a golf cart trail and special parking to accommodate older or disabled members.
By putting a conservation spin on their cheerful service, Arrowmen from across the nation have helped preserve our country's heritage, which allows others to enjoy it for generations to come. Perhaps, in honor of this Earth Day, you or your local lodge can put on a conservation service project.

I have awaited this day with a quiet reverence. Part of me thought it would never come. But part of me knew to stay faithful. The first re-blended batch sold out in less than 12 hours. But luckily for me, Frank re-blended a second batch. :)
Opening the packet is like opening the first present on Christmas day. Excitement and joy bubble up within me until they overflow with the eager anticipation of this moment. The dry leaves smell amazing! Like blueberry and cream and sugar and heaven. Sweet and fruity and motherwateringly delicious! I set my kettle to boil and measured the leaves into the strainer. Ah, how I love this morning tea ritual.
About three minutes later, I lifted the brewing basket from the cup and inhaled deeply. AAAHH! Oh no!!!! This smells bad. :( It smells like a specific variety of Assam that I really don't like. Noooooooo! Why did you do it, Frank? I tried a sample of this tea about 9 months ago (generously provided by the lovely Ninavampi), and it definitely didn't have this base. Ugh, my heart is broken. My perfect Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish tea has been desecrated. :(
Once the cup cooled, I ventured a taste. That awful Assam hits me first. But then up creep the blueberry and the flaky Danish pastry and the creaminess. Maybe this will be okay? Most everyone could enjoy this tea straight, but the Assam is hitting me like a battering ram right between the eyes. So, I went ahead and added a splash of skim milk.
Unfortunately, all that did was tone down the blueberry and make the base even more pronounced. Then I added a tiny bit of Truvia, and now it's just a cup of sweetened Assam tea. Blech. What total fail. Why do my taste buds have to hate this base? WHY?! I'm going to leave the rating unchanged because that sample was heaven. This cup would probably be rated something more along the lines of a 40. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go ball my eyes out.
I wonder if both batches taste the same. I also wonder which one I have if it would make a different. I ordered on March 20th, and personally love it, and the old one I had from last year too. Hmm.

After listening to The Outsider, the latest addition to the rejuvenated Rodney Crowell's stellar trilogy of 21st-century albums, I can say that without a doubt, somewhere out there a pulpit is missing a first-class preacher.
Topics of the Ship Channel-area native's sermons include false idols ("The Obscenity Prayer"), self-reliance and positive thinking ("Dancin' Circles Round the Sun"), resigning yourself to your limitations ("Beautiful Despair"), fear ("Things that Go Bump in the Day") and know-nothingism ("Ignorance Is the Enemy," the only tune on which this preacher gets a little too preachy). He even sends his flock out with an (extremely) cautiously hopeful benediction in "We Can't Turn Back Now."
And coming out of one of the most religiously charged election cycles ever, it's fitting that this is Crowell's most political album yet, most notably though by no means exclusively on the anticorporate, Congress-bashing "Don't Get Me Started." "East Timor's genocide to the core," he snarls on the song. "The Indonesian legions come and give 'em what-for / when the coalition army doesn't come to your aid / you might as well face it there's no money to be made."
Rodney Crowell
Wednesday and Thursday, September 7 and 8, at the Continental Club, 3700 Main. Lee Roy Parnell opens both nights. For more information, call 713-529-9899.
Crowell says that like much of the rest of the record, that song was born overseas, where he toured for much of last year. "It was an election year and I was an expatriate, touring in Northern Europe -- Scandinavia, Ireland, England and Scotland," he says over the phone from his home in the hilly Nashville burbs. "So I wrote most of this record from my experiences there -- lots of long conversations deep into the evening in pubs."
"Beautiful Despair" is the fruit of one such boozy heart-to-heart. Crowell was at a post-gig party in Belfast when a drunken barrister turned to him and told him he drank because he would never write as well as Bob Dylan. "Don't Get Me Started" came from another, less pleasant and more one-sided drunk conversation. "There was this girl from Derry and she caught me in Belfast. I had on a T-shirt that said 'Security' across my chest and she knew I was an American songwriter, so she came up to me and did one of those finger-knuckle things, started rappin' on my chest. She was saying things like 'What is it with you fucking Americans and your security?' And I said, 'Hold it, hold it, hold it -- my daughter gave me this T-shirt! The only reason I put it on was 'cause it was clean!' And I didn't really get her turned around until she exhausted herself, and then I said, 'Okay. Now listen to me.' "
Crowell places the had-it-up-to-here narrator of "Don't Get Me Started" -- which is an elaborate answer to the Irishwoman's rant -- in another pub. "I wanted to rant, but I also wanted to give the ranter a little bit of self-awareness," he says. "So I set it in a bar and made him say, 'Hey, I'm a drag when I've had a few drinks, you know?' While I was careful to give him ownership of the fact that he was ranting, it's certainly my beliefs. To me, the presidential election was a smokescreen, a diversion. From my point of view, the engine room for what's wrong is in Congress. That's really the connection between the people and government."
Crowell played the song at a third pub -- the Mucky Duck -- on his last trip through town, and he recalls a drastic audience reaction. "Man, I felt like Moses," he says. "I just saw the room divide in front of me."
Clearly, songs like that aren't going to win this onetime country chart-topper much airplay on corporate-owned country radio. (At least under his own name; Crowell's "Making Memories of Us" is a current smash for Aussie heartthrob Keith Urban.) Crowell doesn't care -- he gave up on being a country artist long ago, or maybe it's more accurate to say that country gave up on guys like him. "The last three records I've done don't have anything to do with country music as we know that delivery system," he says. "What I've come to really realize is that country music, as we know it now, is about celebrating being a redneck and having fun. Country music is no longer for someone who lives the examined life. So now it would be unfair for me to expect for country music to be the right delivery system for the messages and the music I am making now So -- I don't. I get into these discussions with writers who talk about the shortfalls of country music -- how there's no voice for this liberal mind-set. And I don't even call it liberal; I just call it common sense. But you know what, the system isn't set up for that, and I don't even think that it should be."
Country music is clearly not for guys who sing about the thoughts of long-dead Romans such as the slave-turned-sage Epictetus, who gets a star turn on "Dancin' Circles Round the Sun." Crowell discovered Epictetus -- not to be confused with Cledus T. Judd -- in a self-help book called The Art of Living, and has since adopted much of his Stoic philosophy. "His view was pretty much that 'what other people think about me is none of my business,' " Crowell says.
And though he didn't know it yet at the time, Crowell had been fueled by that thought ever since he came roaring back out of self-imposed exile in 2000 with The Houston Kid, his autobiographical remembrance of his hardscrabble youth in Jacinto City and Magnolia Park that also served as his declaration of independence from big-time country music.
Crowell has a memoir in the works, a sort of expanded prose version of The Houston Kid. Though he says the project is somewhat stalled right now, it brings him back to town between gigs to "make sure everything's still the way I remember it," as he puts it, to retrace the footsteps of his youth. Literally. "My mother used to drag me what I thought was 40 blocks to the Emmanuel Temple Pentecostal Church on Wayside Drive," he says. "So recently I went back and walked it, and it was only 24 blocks. Walking up Wayside Drive from Avenue P up to past Navigation You know it's still a Pentecostal church, only it's a Spanish one now."
Texas myths have also been much on his mind, though in this case "myths" is a euphemism. "I've spent a lot of time writing about the San Jacinto Monument and the metaphor of it," he says. "Basically we built a 570-foot monument to a bunch of liars. Texas is all about the absolute beautiful poetry of lying. It saddens me to think that Texas has been overtaken by this greed, get-my-money lifestyle when we have this rich heritage of liars to draw from."

He also recently relived a horrendous antibaptism that almost killed him 30-odd years ago. A few months back, he boarded the MV Sam Houston and took the Ship Channel tour to relive the time he fell in the Ship Channel when he was working at Todd Shipyard and got "the mother of all kidney infections." "I almost didn't get back from that and I wasn't in that water for a minute," he says. Riding the Sam Houston through the "absolutely polluted" Ship Channel's waters years later, Crowell says he could still romanticize the hell out of that misadventure, and hell, all of the side of Houston the Chamber of Commerce seldom touts. And in looking at the city with a detached writer's eye, Crowell says that he has fallen in love.
"When you're putting yourself into that receptivity to try to reconstruct memory, you start to develop a romantic relationship with a place," he says. "So I love Houston."
Or as he put it less pithily if more eloquently in the following "Beautiful Despair"-inducing public e-mail exchange with journalist Chet Flippo: "Hallowed be the Houston Ship Channel fifty miles of salt marsh bayou turned world's longest deep water shipping lane, host waterway to the most sludge pumping, poisonous gas spewing paper mills, chemical plants and oil refineries in the Western Hemisphere. The Houston Ship Channel on whose creosote-soaked banks new monied oil-boom tycoons rub chafed elbows with Mexican drag line operators and Coonass pile drivers in a payday Friday winner-takes-all beer and whiskey chugging contest. Piss on Enron, Houston's heart and soul is over on the east side where New Orleans rhythm, Fort Worth blues and Nashville heartbreak once spilled out of its honky-tonk and icehouse juke boxes onto an endless sea of oyster shell parking lots. That's right cat daddy, Houston Texas, land of hot toddies, cold watermelon and lying sons-of-bitches who'd rather gut you with a Barlow knife than listen to a sappy song. Not a bad place to come from."
Thank you, Reverend Crowell. Hallowed be your name, too.

One of Italy's most famous antiquities is surely its telephone system. But now AT&T aims to help bring it into the 20th century. Last week Italtel, an Italian telecommunications equipment maker, said it has chosen AT&T as its partner in a five-year, $27 billion government-subsidized mega-project to rebuild the country's cranky telephone system virtually from scratch. As one of the main contractors on the project, Italtel will supply most of the basic equipment, while AT&T will provide the know-how, software and supercomputers that will make Italian phone lines hum efficiently. The job may be worth several billion dollars to Ma Bell....

Mexico at 200: The Birth of Nationalism
Mexico at 200: The Birth of Nationalism
May 2010
For the first show of Mexico at 200, Philharmonic Orchestra of the Americas conductor and New York native, Alondra de la Parra examines Mexican music from the late 1700s through early 1900s, and traces how Euro-centric Mexican composers began to exoticize their sound through local new-world character.
Mexico at 200: The Birth of Nationalism is the first show of Mexico at 200 and sets the stage for the birth of avant-garde Mexican modernism and the transformation of an imported European sound into something uniquely Mexican, with music by Juventino Rosas, Ricardo Castro and Gustavo Campa, among others.
Hear Mexico at 200 every day at 7 a.m. and p.m., starting Tuesday, May 25, and continuing through Friday, May 28. Mexico at 200 celebrates 2010 and the Bicentennial of Mexican Independence.
Mexico at 200 is hosted by Alondra de la Parra, with research assistance from Joshua Feltman. The producer is Alex Ambrose, and the executive producer is Limor Tomer.

The thought of going to see someone else and retelling my story again just seems like it would be emotionally exhausting.
I just dont feel that I am mentally able to tell my story yet again.
This is selfish thinking. You are letting your feelings rule the day. You need to act based on your commitments, not how you feel.
Separated transitioning to D
I think people are being a bit harsh. Yeah, your choices were horrible. It's also not wrong to feel tired. Digging through this pain is NOT easy and tired is a very valid response at times.
It was mentioned on another thread that you couldn't post with a stop sign because you were a madhatter. I didn't see that anywhere in your posts.

I had no idea that that is what he was referring to, hence my asking for clarification.

This is very greasy and never absorbs. Its also overpriced since Aqua glycolic, Alpha and Glycolix elite sell higher concentrations that absorb well and are much cheaper. The texture is like a thick balm, far too much for my combo-oily skin. This is just a very basic product. I don't recommend this.

Here's my story on Litmus Test and (unfortunately) I'm not sticking with it!
I bought this product at Ulta after getting a sample of it with another purchase. I used the sample 2x daily for about a week and couldn't believe that I actually saw some improvements; like a softening of the lines in between my eyes, nasolabial folds and marionette lines. That was all the inspiration I needed to make the purchase, which I did the minute I finished the sample.
In my haste I neglected to check the ingredient list; something I always do. When I got home I looked and much to my dismay I saw one paraben after another. Ugh! I could have returned it but decided it was too much trouble and used it 2x almost daily for the next three months.
Bottom line: less lines overall but at a cost that's too great for me, not in dollars but in dangers. I simply don't want parabens near my skin and have gone to great lengths to avoid them everywhere. Thus, I just purchased Tarte Maracuja oil and am hoping for much the same improvements without all the toxic chemicals.
If, however, you aren't concerned with parabens then you won't be disappointed with Litmus Test. It's a fine product, which is why I gave it a "4." I just can't 'high-5' it considering the chemicals that make up its composition.
BTW, if you're interested in learning more about the ingredients that are used in your choice of skin care and makeup products I strongly recommend you go to: http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/browse/anti-aging/

I love love love love this moisturizer. Keeps my flaky skin away, evens out my skin tone and keeps my skin really hydrated without clogging pores. It's pricey but a little goes a long way. I love how it exfoliates with glycolic acid so it exfoliates my skin without scrubbing. I had huge problems before with dry spots where I would exfoliate with a scrub and it just led to more dryness.
I only use this once a day (my night time routine) during the weekdays so I don't over-exfoliate my skin and to decrease sun exposure during use (I tend to be out in the sun more during weekends). Make sure to wear sunscreen during the day if you use this! Overall, this product has really made a great and wonderful change to my skin! :D

Love this moisturizer! This is my answer to keep my skin pimple free and fresh!
Results...soft, plump, dewy pretty skin which is prepped for your make up. Big thumbs up!!!! I DO have sensitive skin and I DO feel a slight tingle but it's a 'tingle so good-dissolving dead skin-tingle'. Greatness!!!!
I was at Ulta picking up my fav POP mascara and the POP rep asked what I use on my skin. I showed her the Litmus and she bought the last bottle. :)

I have been using this in conjunction to the cleansing gel and toner and this 3-step ritual has brought about some amazing results in a short amount of time.
I have always had acne prone skin and only wish that this product had been around 10 years ago when I suffered from hormonal cystic acne associated with my cycle. I decided to purchase this skin care regiment after using Wrinkle Revenge 1 (love it) and doing more research on the brand. I read how this line was good for oil control, clearing acne prone skin and early signs of aging due to the exfoliating properties and promotion of cellular turnover.
I have been using the entire 3-step process 2x daily for a week and the results are AMAZING! My pores have all but disappeared and aside from a couple stubborn (and healing) blemishes on my chin, my skin is nearly flawless. I feel confident that when my chin clears up I will be able to go out in public without foundation, that will be something that hasn't happened in a long time!
I do plan on reducing the use of the entire line to 1x daily after the new year, just so I don't dry out my skin during these winter months. Can't wait to see how well this controls oil this summer when life in the humid Gulf Coast is unbearable and my skin produces oil like an off-shore rig.

Over a year ago, when I discovered Dermadoctor, my skin was driving me nuts - melasma, aging, uneven tone, dull...I started using Wrinkle Revenge 3, then 2, plus Poetry In Lotion every night, with Wrinkle Revenge Eye Balm and my skin has never been better...until...I got a sample of Litmus Test. I applied the sample at night, before bed, as an alternate to PiL. When I woke up and passed my mirror, I actually did a double-take. My face was radiant, with no sallowness, and the skin around my eyes wasn't puffy or darkened! My skin felt as soft as my three year old daughter's skin. Now, this is my every other day alternate with PiL, or I use it beneath my sunscreen for all day treatment. I've noticed that this affects my pores in a good way, in addition to smoothing and brightening my skin. My pores seem less prominent, and they stay clear, not bumpy. Highly, highly recommend.

CONCORD manager Danny Cowley admits it will have to be a good night for them and an off night for Chelmsford if they are to progress into the last four of the county cup from their Essex derby clash at the Aspect Arena tonight (kick-off 7.45pm).
The Beachboys are flying high in the Ryman Premier, but Cowley admits it will be a tough test against a visiting Clarets side who are once again pushing for promotion for the Conference South.
Cowley said: "It's good that we're in January and we're still challenging on three fronts.
"We want to go through here, of course, but it will test our small squad.
"This will be our third game in six days and we're taking on Chelmsford, who are a massive side, so we will have to be at our best and they will probably have to have a bit of an off day."
Cowley said he's looking forward to going head-to-head with Chelmsford manager Glenn Pennyfather, someone he speaks to regularly for advice and about players.
Tonight's game could see Concord come up against Chelmsford winger Anthony Cook, who had a brief spell with the Beachboys after leaving Dagenham & Redbridge.
Concord moved up to third in the Ryman Premier with a terrific 2-1 win over Margate on Saturday with goals from Nicky Cowley and Steve King.
Chelmsford, who are sixth in the Conference South, lost 2-1 at Maidenhead United. They had taken a 14th minute lead through Jamie Slabber, but a brace from Alex Wall – the second a 92nd minute free-kick – completed a comeback win for the hosts.
Canvey Island are also in action tonight as they go to Hendon in the Ryman Premier. The Gulls will look to bounce back from Saturday's galling 5-4 defeat at Whitehawk.

Illinois and Chicago Leadership to Join Nation's Latino Policymakers at NALEO 30th Annual Conference in Chicago
Ill. Governor Pat Quinn, U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, and Ill. State Treasurer Dan Rutherford among notable speakers at three-day Latino political convention
Jun 13, 2013, 14:44 ET from National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO)
WASHINGTON, June 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Illinois and Chicago leaders will join the largest gathering of Latino policymakers in the country in Chicago for the NALEO 30th Annual Conference. Considered the nation's annual Latino political convention, the event will take place June 27-29, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois.
This year's conference will feature more than 1,000 Latino public officials and supporters from communities across the country. Conference participants will join policy leaders for panel discussions on various issues on the national agenda, including immigration reform, education, healthcare reform implementation, climate change, and an in-depth overview of the growing influence of Latinos in the Midwest. A preliminary agenda can be found on our website here.
Leaders from throughout the state of Illinois and city of Chicago will address the NALEO membership this year, including Ill. Governor Pat Quinn, U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Ill. State Treasurer Dan Rutherford, Ill. Legislative Latino Caucus Co-Chair and State Senator Iris Martinez, Chicago City Council Latino Caucus Chair Daniel Solis and Chicago Board of Education Vice-President Jesse Ruiz.
The three-day event will take place against the backdrop of several breaking developments. Debate on comprehensive immigration reform legislation in the U.S. Senate is ongoing, with a vote expected to take place before the July 4th recess. NALEO members will be gathered and poised to react to this legislation in Chicago, in addition to a number of notable U.S. Supreme Court case decisions that are expected. These decisions will go to the heart of many issues that greatly affect the Latino community, including the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act, affirmative action, and Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement to register to vote.
The conference takes place less than a year after Latino voters made history in Election 2012, comprising 5.4 percent of Illinois voters and 8.4 percent of all voters nationwide. Going forward, the Latino community is expected to increase their decisive influence on national elections. NALEO Educational Fund projects that the eligible Latino electorate will reach 25.2 million in 2014, an increase of 18.5 percent from 2010. This growth will continue in 2016, when the eligible Latino electorate is estimated to reach 28.5 million.
The NALEO conference has become the preeminent forum for our nation's leadership to engage Latino officials and the millions of constituents NALEO members represent. Last year's conference included back-to-back addresses by President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney, the first time both candidates addressed the same Latino audience during the campaign.
The NALEO 30th Annual Conference is made possible through the generous support of Presenting Sponsors, State Farm® and Target. For information about the conference and registration, please visit the NALEO website at http://www.naleo.org/annualconference.

5 Ways Seniors Can Stretch Their Dollars
When was the last time you took out an elderly family member for some fun?
April is Financial Literacy Month and we've found a few tips to help the senior in your life to stretch their dollar.
1. Order medication in bulk Ordering a 90-day supply of medication by mail often costs less than hitting up your local pharmacy once a month. When you use this method for long-term meds (generally what these mail-orders are designed for—check for restrictions), you can also get automatic refills so you never run out.
2. Skip the doctor when you can Retailers such as Walgreens, CVS, Target, and Walmart now offer in-store health clinics in many locations. These places are best for run-of-the-mill problems such as splinters or an earache, or to get a flu shot. If you don't have insurance, you can save big—$60 for a visit compared with $1,000 or more at the emergency room. But see your regular doctor for chronic conditions, serious symptoms, or broken bones.
3. Get…

'Restrained' growth seen for Edmonton housing in 2013
Edmonton Dec/12: Solid Growth of Local Real Estate Market in 2012
Edmonton Garrison Posted
Posted from Edmonton Garrison also known as the Steele Barracks. It is that time of the year again. Edmonton posting season. Military members are on the move throughout Canada and the world.
For some military members this will be their first posting and they should start to enquire on the process from the day they receive their posting message, especially if this is your first posting or if you will be away on course during your house selling process.
Relocating military families have the option to work with any Realtor from any company they choose. A Realtor who knows the Brookfield system and has experience specializing in relocation moves is a huge asset and will lessen the stress of the move.
Over the last few years Brookfield Relocations (IRP) has changed some of their policies including some cutbacks from it's relocation resource packages. If you have been posted consider asking other DND members to recommend a Realtor or interview more than one Realtor before making your selection.
Here are some posting questions you may want to ask your real estate Agent
1. How Familiar are you with Brookfield (IRP)?
2. What happens if my house is not sold by my COS date?
3. When is the best time to go on my HHT (house-hunting-trip)
4. What happens if my house sale and house purchase dates do not line up?
5. What "out of pocket" fees will I need to pay?
I have assisted many military families relocate to and from Edmonton, Morinville, Bon Accord and Gibbons Alberta and look forward to helping more members relocate across Canada.
If you are relocating and would like more information about the relocation process, contact Audrey Abuan.
If you have found this article helpful, please pass it on.

As a high school freshman, it's difficult to focus on college. There are still four more long years to go before graduation, plus so many more interesting things to think about, like driving, friends, sports and dating.
But the time will fly, and preparing for college and the application process begins now. By laying a good foundation as a freshman, sophomore and junior, you'll be in position – and eligible – to make the choices you want to make as a senior.
As part of her job, Beth Perisic, the assistant principal at Poway High in charge of counseling, advises students about the classes they should take in high school and what grades they need.
Here's her advice, in edited excerpts from a question-and-answer interview, to freshmen as they look four years ahead:
What concerns should a freshman have about preparing for the next four years?
What we try to do with our freshmen is map out a four-year plan for them, based on their strengths and weaknesses. The classes they took in middle school help us determine what the best set of courses are for their freshman year and that sort of maps out their plan for four years of high school.
We encourage students to be college ready. What that means is they complete all the A to G requirements for California State and University of California schools, and that the grades are C or better.
How often should a student meet with a counselor?
We have an eighth-grade parent night in spring, so we meet with parents and students before they become ninth-graders. And then when they are still in the eighth grade, we go down to their middle schools and we meet with the students. Once they become a student at our school, every spring we meet with them individually to go over their four-year plans (and make adjustments as needed).
Should every student learn a foreign language?
For the majority of students, yes. But we also have students who are coming from another country. They just need to learn English. Or for students who have struggled, who need help with math or English, and you need to fill in some gaps with their learning, a foreign language doesn't make sense right off the bat. But it may make sense later on down the road. They can still take two years of a foreign language, which is required (by UC or Cal State system).
What type of math and science classes should be taken?
It's important that students have a good foundation. And most freshmen take either algebra or geometry. That puts them in a good spot to move forward with our math sequence, which we go all the way up to AP calculus. But for each individual it's just going to be a little different based on what they were able to accomplish in middle school. For the most part it's either algebra or geometry for freshmen. And that puts them in a pretty good spot to continue with their math. I like to recommend that students take a math class every year of high school. It's a three-year requirement, but really we recommend four years because that makes you competitive when you apply to college.
Same thing with science. The majority of freshmen take biology. And then it really kind of goes back to the math level that students are taking and that helps us figure out which science is better for them during their sophomore year.
When is a student ready to start taking Advanced Placement (AP) classes?
We don't really have an AP course for freshmen. It would be atypical. But we do have honors-level classes for freshmen. By taking the honors-level classes, it helps prepare them to take AP classes in their 10th year.
Starting your 10th-grade year, you can take an AP class, and for that one it really depends on their reading and writing abilities. It all depends on your interests and strengths. We really do try to encourage students to take some AP classes in the 11th grade that are kind of entry-level AP classes. And then for other students, they might have a full load of AP classes. Five of their six classes might be AP.
Why take an AP class?
It's very rigorous and it's very challenging. And students can earn college credit.
What types of electives do you recommend to prepare for college?
The requirement is one year of a visual or performing art and one year of elective courses. So obviously the foreign language we recommend, and really we try to match a lot of the other elective courses to students' interests. (Taking additional AP courses as electives) helps make students that much more competitive and helps them stand out that much more.
What types of academic and extracurricular work do you recommend?
ASB is a great thing for kids to get involved in because it fosters leadership. I think it's important students have a comprehensive dossier, if you will, when they're applying to college so they can show they're academically prepared and also that they demonstrate leadership and are involved in their school and community.
What do you tell students who say they don't want to go to college?
There are those students who come in and they're just not sure. But we feel strongly that our mission is to make sure students are ready. You're 14 years old when you're a ninth-grader and you're 17 or 18 when you graduate. And within that four-year period your mind can change. We make sure they have met the college requirement that gives them a good foundation, not just for college, but anything they want to pursue, military or workforce or whatever.

Where Silence Rules and Schools are Bombed
By Chris Crowstaff, Safeworld founder, September 2012
On Friday 7th September (2012), a girls school was blown up in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province in northern Pakistan.
Two days later, another girls school was destroyed in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), also in northern Pakistan, about 100 miles east of the previous attack.
School buildings in KPK and FATA have been specifically targeted over the last five years. And girl's schools have been a prime target.
Just last year, 440 schools were reportedly destroyed by militants, out of which 130 were girl's schools.
Not Safe
It is extremely difficult to get accurate information. It is not a safe region for human rights workers, NGOs or journalists. Reports which do come out get very limited coverage. The region also seems to be largely neglected by the Pakistan government and the United Nations.
In the last five years, militants have intensified activities in KPK and FATA. In 2011, 569 reportedly people died in terrorism related attacks in KPK, and 1,319 injured. In the same year in FATA, 494 people were killed and 720 injured. Civilians, including children, continue to face the brunt of the conflict in this region.
'First they warned owners of private schools to end co-education. Then they told the government's girls' schools to close. When they refused, the Taliban bombed several of them and the rest of the schools were closed for fear of bombing. At the same time, parents also stopped sending their children to schools for fear of the Taliban.'
Amnesty International report - 2010
A UN report from April this year highlights the ongoing situation:
'Throughout the year [2011], schools continued to be directly targeted by armed groups in bomb and improvised explosive device attacks, resulting in 152 incidents of partial or complete destruction of school facilities in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. According to the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Department of Education, a total number of 73 schools were damaged in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, with the remainder occurring in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.''
TAKE ACTION: Please sign and share the petition to Protect the Children and Schools in KPK and FATA.
Difficult to Imagine
It is difficult to imagine what living in such a conflict ridden area of the world would be like, And this is part of the problem.
Because it is unsafe for journalists to visit, there is no mainstream media coverage. We do not get to see the reality on our television screens. We do not see the effect this has on the children.
And so what do we do? Do we continue to ignore the problem?
In recent months, thousands of families - mainly women and children, have fled. Many walk for days. Some are staying in crowded refugee camps and many others are staying with extended families that are very poor themselves and struggling to survive.
Many of the displaced children are still not going to school.
And the numbers are rising as the tension continues.
Needs to be talked about
This is a crisis which needs to be talked about and tackled. It has been going on for too long with no apparent solution in sight.
Women and children fleeing violence are extremely vulnerable. Many children will have witnessed their homes being destroyed. When families flee, they often leave with very few belongings. The children have witnessed scenes of destruction and are in need of specialist help to recover.
It is extremely hard to know the true situation. Locals who speak out are targeted and threatened. And these are not empty threats - as shown by the recent shocking murder of women's rights activist Farida Afridi.
For certain there is a very real crisis, and the international community needs to break the silence - urgently.
Please sign and share the petition to Protect the Children and Schools in KPK and FATA.

In the wake of Senator Ted Cruz's (R-TX) marathon 20+ hour anti-Obamacare speech, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) joined Glenn on tonight's Glenn Beck Program to talk about what comes next. Glenn spoke to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) this morning on radio and was troubled by Sen. Paul's insistence that Republicans are united in the fight to stop Obamacare, despite the fact that many in the GOP have come out against Sen. Cruz and others who are leading the charge to defund the Affordable Care Act. Time is, quite frankly, running out, but Sen. Lee shed light on what the next steps will be in this fight.

Rock County to assess land donation
The county has 90 days to perform an environmental assessment of the property and determine what it would cost to demolish two buildings on the site.
Attorney John A. Buck, Chicago, has offered to donate 3.6 acres along the Rock River in Fulton Township. The property at 9236 County F is on the north shore about a quarter mile upstream from the Indianford Dam.
Assistant Rock County Administrator Phil Boutwell said the donation is �valuable.� He doesn�t anticipate any problems preventing the county from accepting the property.
�It�s a good piece of property that could be used for a public purpose,� Boutwell said.
The property contains two buildings�one them the former Bikini Beach House tavern. The old buildings probably contain asbestos, Boutwell said. So, along with an environmental assessment of the site, the county will determine how much it will cost to tear down the buildings.
County staff have not determined how the property will be used if the county owns it. But it could become a park with a public boat launch, Boutwell said. Or the county could do nothing with the land and sell it, Boutwell said.
�We have no preconceived ideas about the property,� board Chairman Russ Podzilni said. �Our efforts are clear and transparent to determine there are no environmental problems. Then we�re free to do whatever�s best.�
Thursday�s resolution authorized $2,985 county dollars and $3,657 from Buck to assess the property.
Buck bought the land in September 2005 for $390,000, Boutwell said. The current fair market value is $155,900 for the land plus $65,900 for the buildings, Boutwell said.
Buck is donating the land for tax purposes, Boutwell said.
If no problems come up, Boutwell expects a second resolution in 90 days to close on the property. Additional money will be needed for closing, including prorated 2008 taxes and title insurance.

THE Australian dollar has bounced off its three week lows as currency traders go bargain hunting.
At 12pm AEST today, the local unit was trading at 89.54 US cents, up from 89.14 cents yesterday.
Last night the currency fell as low as 88.93 US cents, its weakest level August 5.
The dollar has fallen due to concerns about the US government planning an attack on the Syrian government for using chemical weapons on its own civilians.
LTG GoldRock director Andrew Barnett said the currency had a relief rally after two days of falls.
"There's been no missiles fired off yet, so there's been a few bargain hunters around," he said.
"As a trader, I have to weigh the probabilities of what is going to happen.
"Personally think there is going to be some sort of missile strike in the next 72 hours, only because the US and UK have convinced themselves it was a chemical strike by Syria and they want to send a strong message.
"I think any type of rally in the Aussie dollar is going to be short lived if they start firing missiles."
Mr Barnett said he expects tensions over Syria will overshadow any economic data that will be released over the next few days.
That was the case when the Australian dollar failed to react to positive local business investment this morning.
Capital expenditure by businesses rose by four per cent in the June quarter, higher than the 0.8 per cent rise the market was expecting.
Australian bond futures prices were relatively unchanged at noon.
At 12pm AEST today, the September 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.095 (implying a yield of 3.905 per cent), level with the local close yesterday.
The September three-year bond futures contract was at 97.230 (2.770 per cent), down from 97.240 (2.760 per cent).

Whitespace is an note-taking iPhone app that kind of combines Q Branch's Vesper with a corkboard concept (only without the actual cork texture — this is the age of iOS 7 after all). It's slick, it works with pictures, and it's free (ish).
I take as many photo notes with my iPhone as I take written notes, and Whitespace lets me combine the two, even in the same note. The organization metaphor for Whitespace is the card. Each note is shown as a thumbnail or card on both the main screen and in your workspaces. These spaces can also be thought of as notebooks, and they work more like Gmail's labels than folders or books, because the same note can exist in any number of workspaces (just check the spaces you want in the drop-down chooser).
The main screen shows recent notes plus a list of recent spaces, and a quick-entry button: Hit this to add either a note or a picture. You can also create a note directly inside an existing space using the little + button by each category, or by hitting the red add button at top right. You'll never be able to say you weren't able to create a note fast enough.
Notes get their own mini text editor, with Markdown support (there are buttons to quick-add symbols for bold, italics and so on, with in-line preview of the results) plus a handy nubbin, a navigator button that moves the cursor around like the red buttons on ThinkPad keyboards.
Once your notes are in the app, you can search on the full text of all notes and quickly reorder items within your notes (using a list view).
I'm still digging in, and I have found a few problems, some of which might be because I'm running iOS 7 beta, but so far this really looks like it might be my go-to thing-remembering app.
It could really do with a map view to see where you took your photos. One of the main reasons I snap photo notes is to remember where something was, and right now I can't find a way to delete a photo from a note. Some kind of sync would also be good (for using this on the iPad and the iPhone), but I can live without that.
What I really would like though is a URL scheme for creating notes. My default place to jot anything new involving text is Drafts, so I'd like to be able to send things from there to Whitespace.
Otherwise, though, the app is fantastic. As I said earlier, it's free, with ads until you pay $2. I haven't seen any ads yet, but I'm happy to pay up as soon as I do.

MÖTLEY CRÜE held a press conference on January 28 at Hotel Roosevelt in Los Angeles where they announced that the band will launch its "Final Tour" later this year, with the group planning to play 72 shows in North America in 2014 and more overseas in 2015. Making it official, the four members of the band had their lawyer draw up a formal "cessation of touring" agreement that goes into effect at the end of 2015 and prohibits the members of the group from going on the road again under the MÖTLEY CRÜE banner.No mention was made of whether the CRÜE will record a new album to go along with the tour, although the group hinted at the possibility. Asked by Classic Rock magazine if there will be a new studio CD to coincide with the upcoming trek, which is scheduled to kick off in early July, MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx said: "We've written some songs. But this is difficult to say and probably harder to hear: when you spend nine months working on an album, all the work that goes into it and recording it, mixing it, mastering it, then you release it and it falls on deaf ears. "Radio is so fuckin' formatted, if you don't have a banjo and a beard, they're not playing you over here. If you're this kind of band at this stage of your career, you can't be played on Active Rock; if you've been around for more than fifteen years, you're classic rock, but classic rock radio doesn't play new music. You just think, 'Fuck, man, this sucks.' "I have the belief that I would rather have less music reach more people through different opportunities, whether it be through movies, through sponsorships or co-sponsorships through integrated marketing with other types of companies that want to use your song specifically to reach tens of millions of people. I'd rather work on two songs under that plan than do eleven songs that only reach 100,000 people." MÖTLEY CRÜE in 2012 released a brand new song called "Sex" to coincide with the launch of the band's North American co-headlining tour with KISS. Written when the group was together during their residency in Las Vegas in February 2012, "Sex" was the first studio track from the CRÜE since their June 2008 release of "Saints Of Los Angeles". The song was recorded at MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer Tommy Lee's studio called The Atrium in Calabasas, California.

Alex Kyeremeh inspecting the offices with chiefs
The Ministry of Education (MoE) has devised a new strategy which will make it difficult for all heads of public senior high and technical institutions in the country to exploit parents with neck-breaking fees, the Deputy Education Minister in-charge of Pre-Tertiary Education, Alex Kyeremeh, has disclosed.
The ministry would soon publish the approved fees for all public second cycle schools for the 2014/2015 academic year, and this would be carried on all major media platforms in the bid to tackle the charging of unapproved fees by some school heads in the country.
'We will be tough on school heads who charge unapproved fees. Education should not be the preserve of a privileged few but affordable to all,' he stressed, as he appealed to all stakeholders including chiefs to report any recalcitrant school head for sanctions accordingly.
Mr Kyeremeh, who is also the MP for Techiman North, was speaking at Kpeve in the Volta Region during the commissioning of an ultra-modern office complex for the South Dayi District Education Directorate, constructed at the cost of GH ¢800,000, with funding from Department for International Development (DFID).
He also noted that measures have been put in place to ensure prudent utilisation of the recent $156 million World Bank loan facility acquired to build 23 new senior high schools, upgrade 125 existing schools and provide scholarship to over 10,000 poor students from deprived communities in the country.
To ensure fairness and transparency, an independent fund administrator would be appointed to liaise with communities in selecting eligible beneficiaries.
On the issue of using part of the money to supply sanitary pads for female students, the Deputy Minister explained that the purchase and distribution of the pads would not be done by the government, but instead, the money would be given to the students to buy what would keep them in school and their eligibility for further support would be based on a proof of purchase.
The Deputy Volta Regional Minister, Francis Ganyaglo, asked education officers to strengthen monitoring and supervision in the schools so as to improve the quality of education delivery in the area. He also urged the stakeholders to cultivate proper maintenance culture to prolong the life span of the building.

I think the thread is missing out a large part of the real issue here.
People need to reduce their energy usage.
Over the last 30 years people (in the west)have got used to a very wasteful lifestyle:
- heating the whole house to a level that means everyone can wander around in t-shirts 12 months of the year
- leaving lights on throughout the house
- leaving a range of electrical appliances on standby.
Higher prices SHOULD serve a useful purpose if people behave rationally.
Higher prices => reduced consumption => reduced demand => lower prices
Chat Forum
MILLIBRANDS lost the plot,
I think the thread is missing out a large part of the real issue here.
I dont doubt there's plenty of tax planning going on. But the idea that there is a big chunk of profit that can be ransacked for price reductions and/or a punitive tax (for why though?) is silly. Generation profit margins ought to be up in the high teens and even low 20%s reflecting the far riskier aspect of that part of the business. Im working on a couple of power projects at the moment and know that while the business will aim for those kind of returns they can be wiped out by unforeseen/uncontrollable external influences very easily.
Yes, Ive read the Private Eye report. Yes the Eurobond wheeze is frustrating.
or a punitive tax (for why though?)
Reallyyou dont understand
pick one of
* Justice
* Politics of envy
Its a given the electorate are stupid or I would have that as the third!
People want to "hurt" those they see as excessively profiting from them whether true or false - I dont know enough to decide.
They probably moan about it to friends in starbucks whilst reading a book ,bought from Amazon, on their kindle [bought from ebay] .
There are worse offenders for sure but we dont mind them shafting us as they are also cheap!

Someone ought to tell him that there is a difference between profits and profitability.I nominate teamhurtmore. He could also give him a quick lesson on "basic
investment maths".business"
Snide dig aside, there is some truth here. At the very least we could point Major in the direction of the Energy and Climate Committee's own report. Why waste all the hard work, time and analysis there when can replace it with sound bite politics! Great politics, lousy business. And that's from a Tory. Blimey, Ed really hs rattled the blue cages. The compromise on the hinkley C strike price and now we have a quick test for a policy U turn perhaps?
But they really should read the report especially the bit about beingclear what we are talking about and where energy companies make their money. So prices, profits, profit margins etc are banded around as if they are the same thing. Brilliant. Which bank employed Major for his acumen?
But for political brilliance, Ed beats him by a country mile. So what figures did he use? profitability, margins, prices? None of the above. Their argument is based on EBITDA. More brilliance!!! Guess what that shows. So we (rightly) criticise energy companies for poor transparency and castigate OFGEM in the process and what do the politicians do? Deliberately use misleading stats. What's new there?
I guess reading their own reports and implementing the largely sensible recommendations is too much like hard work in the end. Just freeze prices and tax the ***********. That'll do it!!!
Brilliant. Which bank employed Major for his acumen?
He was an executive at the Standard Chartered apparently.
Anyway, when you inform him of the difference between profits and profitability, and give him his quick lesson on basic investment maths, don't forget to do it all in a very condescending manner.
I find that when you tell me how funny my opinions are and how they make you laugh works well. And yesterday's tactic of repeatedly talking to me in French also worked very well.
Still, I'm sure I don't need to tell you how to speak in a condescending manner, do I ?
Will do Ernie and we will share another laugh with him, en francais bien sur.
If you missed the irony and the rhetorical question, sorry but Major knows exactly what he is doing, He is a politician after all and a grandee of a party that is currently in a flap over Ed's mini masterpiece. And he can mislead with the best of them. Wondered why he made those comments?
If you missed the irony and the rhetorical question, sorry
Well you know me......daft as a brush.
oh good some humour. C'mon, let's keep it sensible and just agree to disagree nicely. FWIW, I am closer to your conclusion on the other thread but not from the same (voiced) reasons. But these threads can get misread, misinterpreted etc. No need to push it too far (my last bit of French was un peux childish!!!).
Funnily enough I deleted a post on the difference between profits and profitability yesterday in case it came across wrongly. And then JY ask for a simple explanation of what I meant. You can't win at times!

Altera Programmable Logic Inspires Innovation at 2014 Maker Faire Bay Area
Altera Cyclone FPGAs Featured in DrawBots, Light Speed Calculators, and Augmented Reality "castAR" Glasses
May 14, 2014, 19:56 ET from Altera Corporation
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Altera Corporation, a world-leading semiconductor company headquartered in San Jose, is displaying its programmable logic solutions at the 9th annual Maker Faire Bay Area being held at the San Mateo Event Center on May 17-18. In a series of forward-thinking demonstrations, Altera engineers will be on hand in the Expo Hall (in booth #305) to showcase the flexibility, performance and versatility of the company's leading-edge field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Attendees of Maker Faire Bay Area will see how FPGAs are being used today to enable innovation in unique and varied ways. Altera offers a wide variety of low-cost, easy-to-use, off-the-shelf development kits for hobbyists and innovators. Several FPGA-based solutions are on display around the Maker Faire Bay Area show floor.
One such display features augmented reality glasses, called castAR glasses, invented by Technical Illusions. The glasses provide a new augmented reality (AR) experience that puts a user "inside" a gaming or other virtual environment. An Altera Cyclone® FPGA accelerates the processing of the compute-intensive visual information that allows the immersive experience. The castAR glasses can be seen and experienced at the Technical Illusions booth in Fiesta Hall.
Jeri Ellsworth, lead hardware designer and co-founder of Technical Illusions, said, "FPGAs have always been enablers for me in my electronic designs, and Altera has been a great partner in the castAR project. It's simply revolutionary that with castAR glasses we can see and interact with an augmented, mixed reality world, and excitement is growing amongst gamers and professionals alike. At this year's Maker Faire we expect to create even more buzz for castAR, as well as for Altera FPGAs, as more and more people see the possibilities."
In the Altera booth, engineers will offer hands-on demonstrations designed to engage electronic hobbyists and young entrepreneurs-in-the-making. Booth demonstrations include:
- DrawBot: Recycled Inkjet® printer components for an FPGA-controlled 'etch-a-sketch'® experience
- DX7 Synthesizer: Recreation of the classic Yamaha DX7 Music synthesizer in an FPGA
- Audio DSP Fun: Demonstrating principles of signal processing in an easy-to-learn way
- Measure C: Calculating the speed of light with an FPGA
- Prime Number Calculator: Extreme hardware acceleration of a compute-intensive function
- Graphics and Video Processing: Linux-based applications running on development kits from TerASIC
"We are all makers at heart, and FPGAs truly enable the maker spirit," said Richard Price, senior manager for IC design engineering at Altera and Maker Faire enthusiast. "FPGAs provide innovative companies like Technical Illusions a highly versatile, highly capable off-the-shelf solution. Altera supports this event wholeheartedly as a Silicon Valley semiconductor leader with a 30-year legacy of enabling innovative technologies."
The maker movement has reached new heights over the last year, impacting the way people are learning, creating, sharing, and collaborating on hobby projects, new inventions, and product enhancements, and the Maker Faire celebrated 100 faires in 2013 alone and has reached over 1.5 million attendees globally since it launched in San Mateo, California, in 2006.

Debunking The Most Harmful Myths About Eating Disorders
It's Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which isn't something to celebrate, but something to talk about. Let's talk about some harmful misconceptions perpetuated about eating disorders and spread the truth about these devastating illnesses.
Myth: Anorexia is just a diet that went too far.
Fact: Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that one can't just snap out of. They aren't a choice like a diet. Someone who took their diet too far can easily gain weight and be back where they need to be, someone with anorexia has a debilitating fear of gaining weight.
Myth: You can tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them.
Fact: People with eating disorders come in all kinds of bodies. For one, there are a few types of eating disorders and not all of them can result in weight loss. No one is too fat, too thin, too fit or too "perfect looking" to have an eating disorder.
Myth: Anorexia and Bulimia are the only kinds of ED.
Fact: Nope. There are other eating disorders like binge eating disorder and pica, as well as EDNOS which is prevalent and impossible to define.
Myth: Only rich white teenage girls get eating disorders.
Fact: Eating disorders happen to boys, older people, younger people and people of all races and socioeconomic classes. It's so screwy to think just rich white girls get it because it makes it difficult for others to seek treatment.
Myth: ED are caused because girls want to be skinny like models/need attention/want to spite their parents/are vain.
Fact: Eating disorders do not have one root cause, more and more researchers believe there is a genetic component involved as well.
If you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, there is hope for recovery. Please seek help right away from a professional.

Finding the Right School
- Is It Right For You?
- How to Evaluate Programs
- Where Should You Apply?
Is Optometry School Right For You?
The decision to become an optometrist is not one to be taken lightly. You'll have to commit to several additional years of school, you'll have a heavy course load, and once you graduate, you'll literally be responsible for one of the most important aspects of people's lives—their sight. And you'll most likely be taking on a considerable financial burden until you graduate.
On the other hand, optometry can be incredibly rewarding. If you go into clinical optometry, you'll get to interact with a tremendous variety of people. You'll be dealing with patients, colleagues, and other health professionals. You'll be responsible for making sure your patients are getting the optimal treatment. And if you decide to go into research, you'll be interacting with highly intelligent colleagues from a wide range of scientific fields. In either case, optometrists tend to be both well-paid and well-respected—a rare combination.
What Does It Take To Succeed?
To be effective and successful, optometrists must have certain traits that help them with their position. First, and most crucial, they definitely need to have the ability to pay attention to detail. Judgment and dependability are essential for this job as well. Since you'll have access to potentially dangerous substances, you must have high ethical standards and maintain reliable records. Finally, you'll have to be knowledgeable about and keep up with the constant stream of new products and treatments on the market.
So is it right for you? Ultimately, that's a decision you have to make. Optometry school is a serious time and financial commitment. But if you have specific career goals and apply yourself, the payoff can be extraordinary.

I'll Cross That Natural Bridge When I Come To It
Good morning, photo fans and welcome to our Wednesday montage of nature's wonders. Today we are venturing out to my favorite sunset spot on the west side, Natural Bridges State Beach. Where there is now just a single arch there used to be three. Back in November there was an extremely low tide that allowed me to do some exploring in the remaining arch. There were loads of sea stars and anemones (photo #5) all along the sea walls but there was one shocker. I came upon a crab being slowly devoured by a sea anemone (photo #6). It was amazing to see nature taking its course but as we know the meek shall perish, especially in the NFC East.
Speaking of nature, I don't know about you, but I am always seeing plastic bags littering the sides of our highways. Well, one of the super powers is trying to do something about this not so fantastic plastic. China is banning free plastic bags found at shops, supermarkets and take out joints and ordering customers to be charged for any they use. The rules take effect on June 1, which is barely two months before Beijing hosts the Summer Olympic Games. The bags are also banned from all public transportation, including planes, buses, trains and rikshaws and from airports and scenic locations. Companies caught breaking the new rules face fines, forfeiture of goods and no moo goo gui pan at office parties.
Environmental organizations, including Greenpeace, praised China, stating that "China is ahead of the U.S. with this policy", although they still trail the United States in developing prospects for major league baseball, NBA basketball, pro football and NHL hockey. Ping pong is whole other story. The Chinese use up to 3 billion plastic bags a day, more than any other country in the world. China also uses more than 37 million barrels of crude oil in the production of these bags.
The flimsy bags are often used once and discarded. According to a statement from the government website gov.ca, "Our country consumes a large amount of plastic bags. While convenient for consumers the bags lead to a severe waste of resources and environmental pollution because of their excessive use and low rate of recycling. The ultra-thin bags are the main source of the 'white' pollution that are choking our cities, farms and waterways. We should encourage people to return to carrying cloth bags, using baskets for their vegetables." They had no recommendations for fruits but I'm thinking styrofoam boxes would be a no-no.
When the ban goes into effect China will join such countries as Ireland, Uganda, South Africa and North Dakota. Bangladesh banned plastic bags four years ago when officials realized they blocked drains and led to flooding. Last year San Francisco became the first U.S. city to outlaw plastic bags in supermarkets because of the poor play of the 49ers. Look for Raider fans to demand Oakland city officials follow suit in the very near future.
That's our natural plastics show for today. Birthday wishes go out to the my old friend Natalie Serber, a former Santa Cruzer now residing and writing in Portland. Look for Natalie's name soon on the New York Times best seller list. So enjoy the agony and the ecstacy and the snowy egret that was text messaging (photo #4) in a pond at the Bridges. And try not to be so crabby. Later.

To comply with new ISO standards, Doosan's applicable new mid-range size hydraulic excavators will now be equipped with roll-over protective structure (ROPS)-certified cabs, the company announced during World of Concrete 2010. The availability is effective immediately.
The cabs will conform to the new ROPS standard established byISO 12117-2: 2008, which applies to ROPS for hydraulic excavators as defined in ISO 6165 with a working mass of more than 6 metric tons and less than 50 metric tons.
Doosan excavator models covered under the ISO standard will range from the DX140LC to the DX480LC. The new ROPS-certified cabs will also be available on log loader models without cab risers.
The new ROPS cabs will not be available on Doosan DX520LC and DX700LC models or log loader models with cab risers. DX480LC excavators that exceed 50 metric tons due to certain optional equipment or larger attachments are also excluded.
In addition to conforming to the ISO standard, the new cabs will offer enhancements designed to improve operator comfort and convenience. These include the following:
Other enhancements include an easier opening front window and improved storage boxes.
