Eyewitness: Korea plane crash
Survivors of an Air China plane crash have been speaking of the final moments before tragedy struck and their remarkable escape from the wreckage which claimed 115 lives.
Thirty nine people walked away from the site where a Boeing 767 flight - with 167 people on board - ploughed into a mountainside outside South Korea's second city, Busan.
Others too weak and distressed to walk were carried on piggy-back by emergency workers.
"Where's my baby," cried one woman, waiting for news of her 10-year-old daughter, as she sat on the back of a policeman.
'Big bang'
Park Choon-Ja, an ethnic Korean from Heilongjang province in China, recalled the moment the plane crashed just after passengers had been informed their flight was due to make an emergency landing due to thick fog and rain.
He said: "Flames erupted after a big bang. Everyone was in shock.
"They made the announcement about the landing and started playing music and we crashed five minutes later."
From her hospital bed an elderly Korean woman passenger interviewed by YTN cable news television described how she reacted.
Her face covered with blood, she said: "I felt dizzy while I was in the plane and bowed my head.
"I didn't hear anything."
Chun Hee-saeng, a resident who helped rescuers, said: "Everything was burnt, including the people that I saw."
Aviation officials said many of the survivors were passengers in the front part of the aircraft, indicating that the plane crashed with its tail and fuselage hitting the ground first.

Lieberman: Peace Talks Have Reached 'Dead End'
From Haaretz.com
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Tuesday that Western-backed peace efforts with the Palestinians had reached a "dead end" and that Israel intended to present new ideas for diplomacy.
"There is definitely a regression here and we must understand and admit that we are at a dead end," Lieberman told members of Yisrael Beiteinu during a party meeting. "We definitely intend to present new ideas." Click here to read the full story on Haaretz.com

Event Coverage ~ 10th Annual Uptown Whittier Car Show ~ Whittier
This is another show that we have missed over the years due to scheduling conflicts. A bit of background on the show. Last year they did not allow Lowriders at the show which took a lot of people by surprise including Stephanie & I. When the show was announced this year, the Lowriders were welcomed back because changes made within the car show committee. For some, the damage was done and they decided not to support the show. Others were happy to see the changes made and were up early Saturday morning to support the show. Let's be honest, a car show in Whittier without Lowriders is like having a bbq without food. Without one, the other cannot exist. Just sayin..
Jowee aka "Mr Rhythm" doing his thing!
The great thing about the show is there a little something for everyone.
We will be back next year for sure! It was great to see the show get the support it deserved!

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Missouri
What's the difference between first degree and second degree trespassing?
Three of my friends were caught watching ''witches'' doing ceremonies on private property, and I told the guys we needed to go so we didn't get caught.
So they drove down towards the drive way entrance and two of the guys parked the car (even though i told them we needed to just go) and got out and walked up to where they were doing there ceremonies.
The people called the cops and the cop found me and my other friend that was in the car and asked what we were doing. We told them the truth about everything and that we had two friends up there and we stayed in the car because we wanted to leave.
We were charged with a Class B misdemeanor. I do not want this to effect my life and the types of jobs I can get, as I am very capable of getting a well paying job.
If this charge right, or should me and the friend that stayed in the car be getting the same charge?
Also what needs to be done to keep this from affecting my future?
Was not sure what area of law to put this under? Criminal Law just sounded more correct than the others.
1 Answer from Attorneys
Re: Trespassing??
Yes, you placed your question under the right heading. You are charged with a crime after all. But, you should not be too worried about it ruining the rest of your life if you hire an attorney to represent you. If you have a clean record, it is very likely tha an attorney can help you to avoid a conviction. Then, after completing probation, you will still be clean as far as convictions go. If you do not have an attorney, you may call me to discuss this further.

Minor Leaguer Kohn set for elbow surgery
Minor Leaguer Kohn set for elbow surgery
After having a couple of setbacks with a right forearm strain this spring, the 25-year-old right-hander visited the noted arm surgeon on Wednesday and was told he needed to have the elbow-ligament-replacement procedure.
That procedure will take place at Andrews' facility in Pensacola, Fla., on Thursday. Recovery time is estimated at 12 months.
"Just wanted to say thank you to all the people who sent me their thoughts and prayers," Kohn said via his Twitter account. "I'll come back from this."
Kohn, a 13th-round Draft pick by the Angels in 2008, posted a 2.11 ERA in 24 relief appearances as a rookie in 2010, then struggled to a 7.30 ERA in 14 games in 2011 and wasn't called back up after being optioned to Triple-A in mid-July.
This spring, Kohn hurled five scoreless, one-inning appearances.

Former Credit Union Executives Join Anti-CU Banker Group
WASHINGTON - Two former credit union CEOs have joined a banker group, which, as part of its agenda, is trying to limit and tax credit unions, according to the publication of the American Bankers Association. The ABA's Bankers News newsletter carried pictures of Gary Base, former CEO of Community Credit Union, at the February meeting of the ABA's Mutual Institutions Council, held in Hollywood, Florida. Larry Duckworth, former CEO of the OmniAmerican Credit Union also joined and was pictured in attendance. Bob Macklin, CEO of the Milford Bank, Milford, Connecticut, "led group discussions on such topics as ABA's credit union strategy and mutual corporate governance," according to the newsletter. ABA CEO and noted credit union opponent, Ed Yingling, also took part in the meeting. Base said that the trade associations for Viewpoint Bank, formerly Community CU, are the ABA and America's Community Bankers, "just like CUNA and the Texas CU League used to be." "So just like I attended CU meetings, I attended this bank conference in order to expand my knowledge," Base said.

LAS VEGAS -- Mike Tyson, looking like anything but the baddest man on the planet for most of the fight, threw a thunderous right hand from nowhere that knocked down Francois Botha and stopped him with one second left in the fifth round Saturday night.
Botha was more than holding his own in the mauling, dirty fight when Tyson landed a bomb to the South African's chin with 10 seconds left in the fifth. The 233-pound Botha went down in a heap, tried to get up, then dropped back into a sitting position. He got up at the count of 7, but fell back into the ropes and referee Richard Steele waved the fight over.
Although Botha was on his feet, he was knocked out if ever a fighter was.
When the fight ended with one second left, Botha slumped again to the canvas and Tyson went over and tried to help him up.
The sudden ending concluded a fight that almost ended in controversy at the end of the first round. It also saved a career that was in jeopardy.
''I had a tremendous amount of rust,'' said Tyson, who had not fought since he was disqualified for biting Evander Holyfield's ears in the third round on June 28, 1997.
That action led to revocation of his license, which wasn't restored until last Oct. 19 by a 4-1 vote of the Nevada commission.''
Until the end, however, Tyson looked anything like the Iron Mike who took boxing by storm in the 1980s.
He missed with many of his punches before landing the one that saved the night.
Tyson was cut over the right eye in the first round, which was marked by mauling. When the bell sounded ending the round and Steele tried to separate the fighters, Botha landed a right to the head and Tyson retaliated. They mauled and punched as security and corner men rushed into the ring to separate them.
Steele called a timeout after the bell sounded starting the second round, and for 45 seconds discussed the situation with Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Steele then warned both fighters.
Botha appeared to have the best of the second round and Tyson also was penalized a point for elbowing.
In the third round, Tyson, who weighed 223 pounds, got in his cleanest shots of the fight to that point.
Botha came back in the fourth round and was actually taunting Iron Mike.
Botha continued to talk to Tyson in the fifth round until the former undisputed heavyweight champion had the last word, a piledriver right hand to the head that dropped the 30-year-old Botha and ended chances of an upset.
''He was talking a lot of smack and stuff but I was cool,'' said Tyson, who blew his cool in the MGM Grand Garden in his rematch loss against Holyfield.
''Everybody said I was losing my confidence. You know what, they were talking bogus about me. It made me angry. No one was going to disrespect me.''
''I just need to fight,'' Tyson said. ''I need to put on a better show.''
''I was trying to bait him,'' admitted Botha, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif. ''I just walked into it.''
The spectacular but sloppy victory ended a two-fight losing streak (Tyson lost the WBA title to Holyfield in the 11th round Nov. 6, 1996) and was Tyson's first victory since he stopped Bruce Seldon in the first round for the WBA title 28 months ago.
Tyson's victory was watched by Muhammad Ali, who also was on hand to support him during the hearing in which his license was restored.
What Ali thought of Tyson's performance, which wasn't anything like the ''float like a butterfly, sting like a bee'' performance that Ali usually put on remains to be seen. But Tyson got the job done.
Tyson, whose purse was $10 million, notched the 40th knockout on his 46-3 record. Botha, a former IBF champion, lost for the second time against 39 wins, 24 by knockout. His purse was $1.85 million.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've miscarried multiple times, and I have to say that you are doing a very wise thing by naming your little lost one. Especially as time goes on, it seems that I am the only one that remembers my babies, but since they have names, it makes it easier to keep them as individuals in my heart. My best wishes for you to find peace.
I'm truly terrible at name meanings.....different sources assert different stories. I never know what to believe. That said
Theora (which might mean 'watcher')
Mitra (which might mean 'angel')
Gilda (which might mean 'a woman of sacrifice')
Gemina meaning 'twin'Obsessing over names since 1964

I work in the Labor and Delivery part of the hospital. There was a mother there recently who lost her daughter at 32 weeks. She named the baby Cariña, which in spanish (and italian) mean "dear little one". I thought it was such a beautiful choice. I am really very sorry to hear about your daughter, I know all too well how painful it is, and I wish you, your husband and your daughter comfort during this time, as well as healthy pregnancy for you and your daugther.

Kontron OM6040D Compact MicroTCA Platform accommodates up to four double-width full-size AdvancedMC modules
Post a comment
The compact MicroTCA platform OM6040D from Kontron is designed for up to four high-end AdvancedMCs and features a 10 Gbit/s Ethernet switched backplane enabling high data flow rates. In the maximum configuration with 4x Kontron AM5030 processor modules, the 5U platform hosts up to 16 Intel Xeon processor cores and 96 GB of RAM. The compact and modular 42HP / 5U MicroTCA platform is highly suitable for applications with demands on performance and data throughput.
The demands of applications requiring high performance and heavy data throughput can be met with the densely-packed, parallel processing power of up to four high-performance double-width AMC modules, like the Kontron AM5030 and the high-speed fabric of 10GbE on the backplane. Typical applications include communications (data conversion and encryption), energy (smart grid infrastructure), industrial automation (high-speed video processing for quality control), medical (diagnostic applications with sophisticated image-enhancement techniques) as well as military and aerospace (radar towers).
The OM6040D is based on a compact chassis (266 x 428 x 365 mm) which provides four double-width slots for AdvancedMC modules (up to 80 watts) and one slot for the MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH). The new platform comes in a cost-optimized design with two pluggable AC/DC power supply units, integrated power management, and fan control on the backplane. The fans are housed in a removable fan tray, which is easily accessible from the front for maintenance purposes.
The pre-validated application-ready platforms are available now from a single source, which drastically reduces time-to-market. Dedicated modules for the platforms are the Kontron MicroTCA Carrier Hub AM4910, which supports 10 GbE Ethernet switching, and modules such as the Kontron AdvancedMC processor module AM5030 (Intel Xeon processor LC5518), or the Kontron AdvancedMC processor module AM5010 (Intel Core 2 Duo). The AMC slots can also accommodate the Kontron AdvancedMC storage module AM5500 (one with every AMC processor) with up to 1 terabyte of storage capacity via either two 2.5" SATA HDDs or extremely robust SDDs. Further customer-specific AdvancedMC implementations using the 10 GbE, 1 GbE, PCIe x4 and SATA supporting backplane can be provided by Kontron on request.
The new Kontron MicroTCA platform OM6040D is available now. For more information on the Kontron OM6040D, visit: http://www.kontron.com/products/systems+and+platforms/microtca+integrated+platforms/om6040d.html.

By Nicki Kasper Let's start with who you are and where you work…. My name is Matt Arriola. I work by appointment at Spotlight Tattoo in Los Angeles where I've been for almost a year. Tell us about your tattoo history. Who do you credit for teaching you the trade? How long have you been at it? I've been fascinated with tattoos since I was a little kid in Idaho… I can't remember any special moment where I knew it was my thing, that probably came later as I got involved with skateboarding and playing music in punk and hardcore bands in Idaho. That's what kind of led me into tattooing. I've liked to draw since I was a little kid and when I was about 18 I decided I wanted to tattoo. I went to every shop in town with a resume and a bunch of drawings asking for apprenticeships. Haha!! Totally the way you're not supposed to do it! I spent every day and night copying my favorite artist's work out of tattoo magazines I bought at the gas station. I think my friends and family thought I was nuts!! Anyway after many denials, I finally landed an apprenticeship with Sean Wyett at Black Cat Tattoo. I bailed out early on my apprenticeship and moved to Seattle. This was about 6 months into it. Once in Seattle with no money and a whole 7 months of tattooing under my belt I found it difficult to find a job. Haha!! Once ...Read More »

text: (Rewrites throughout, adds futures) LONDON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - European equity indexes were set to bounce from "oversold" territory on Friday after their steepest falls in several months, with investors set to look at U.S. jobs data for indications about the strength of the world's largest economy and the likely path of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Futures for the Euro STOXX 50, France's CAC 40 and Britain's FTSE 100 were up between 0.6 percent and 0.7 percent at 0628 GMT. The German stock market was shut due to a national holiday. Britain's FTSE 100 closed at its lowest level for the year on Thursday and was at its most "oversold" since 2011 based on its 7-day Relative Strength Index, a momentum indicator which compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses. The CAC and Euro STOXX 50 were also "oversold" based on that metric. The strength of any rebound was likely to depend on U.S. nonfarm payrolls data due at 1230 GMT. Investors were weighing the prospect of stronger corporate profits if the U.S. economy picks up the pace against the threat of any early rise in U.S. interest rates at a time when many European and emerging market economies show signs of fragility. Analysts polled by Reuters expect U.S. employers to have hired 215,000 workers in September, up from a disappointing 142,000 in August. Among single stocks, British low-cost airline easyJet was set to be in focus after it lifted its annual profit forecast, saying it had benefited from lower than expected fuel costs, favourable exchange rate moves and a two-week strike at rival airline Air France-KLM. COMPANY NEWS ROCHE Another new cancer drug from Roche, this time for treating leukaemia, has been rejected by Britain's healthcare cost-effectiveness agency NICE on the grounds that data about its value is uncertain. VOLKSBANKEN AG Austria's part-nationalised lender Volksbanken AG (VBAG) is to be wound down to avoid a looming capital crunch it was struggling to plug, it said on Thursday. BMW BMW's board will meet in a fortnight to assess its forecasts for next year, Chief Executive Norbert Reithofer said on Thursday, adding that the carmaker was sticking to its outlook for an increase in global sales this year. ILIAD SA French low-cost telecom operator Iliad is gearing up to bid for a "significantly larger" stake in T-Mobile US Inc than it previously sought for in July, a Bloomberg report said, citing people familiar with the matter. BILFINGER Activist investor Cevian named Eckhard Cordes, a former executive at carmaker Daimler and retailer Metro, as its second representative on the supervisory board of German construction group Bilfinger, in which it is the top shareholder. SPORTS DIRECT, DEBENHAMS Britain's biggest sporting goods chain Sports Direct said it had acquired a further 4.6 percent stake in Debenhams, the country's second-biggest department store company, in a deal which strengthens ties between the retailers. DAIMLER AG The United Auto Workers and two German labor groups on Friday will announce plans to work together to organize Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz plant workers in Alabama, sources close to one of the German labor groups said on Thursday. FIAT The carmaker has no need for a capital increase to fund its ambitious five-year growth plan, Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Thursday. The next-generation Jeep Wrangler may be built from aluminium rather than steel in a move that would shift its production away from the Toledo plant in the U.S. state of Ohio, the head of parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) said on Thursday. BP PLC BP Plc on Thursday asked a U.S. court to reconsider a September ruling that found the company "grossly negligent" for the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a finding that boosted its potential liabilities by about $18 billion. AIRBUS GROUP A long-awaited French corporate trial involving allegations of insider trading in the shares of Airbus Group gets under way on Friday, marking the climax of an eight-year investigation. UNICREDIT UniCredit Bank Austria has sold its 16-percent stake in Austrian property firm CA Immobilien to a private holding company based in Cyprus, in a 295 million-euro deal, CA Immobilien said on Thursday. GENERALI Paolo Scaroni, the former CEO of Italian oil major Eni, has resigned as independent board member of Italy's biggest insurance group Assicurazioni Generali, the insurer said on Thursday. Allianz appointed long time Generali executive Sergio Balbinot to the board for a four year term starting on Jan 1, 2015.

Cavs Rally Comes Up Short
Wrap-Up – Still without their high-scoring starting backcourt, the beat went on for the Wine and Gold – who cut Detroit's 14-point fourth-quarter lead to just four but didn't have enough firepower to close the deal, falling to Detroit, 104-97, on Saturday night at The Q.Cleveland was led by Jeremy Pargo's 24-point performance. He scored nine of his team-high 24 in the fourth quarter, but Detroit's Brandon Knight was a little bit better – netting 13 of his career-high 30 in the final period. Anderson Varejao started a new double-double string, notching 16 points, 13 boards, five assists and a pair of blocked shots. C.J. Miles added 15 points and Tyler Zeller pitched in with 13 points and eight boards off Byron Scott's bench.
Turning Point – The Central Division matchup was tied late in the third quarter and Cleveland trailed by just a half-dozen headed to the fourth. But Brandon Knight ignited a 12-2 run early in the final period that extended Detroit's edge to two touchdowns, 88-74. The Cavs rallied and cut the Pistons' lead to 101-97 late in the contest. But Knight and Tayshaun Prince sank free throws to put the game out of reach.
Game Ball – Tyler Zeller – With Tristan Thompson struggling for the second straight night, Zeller was strong off the bench – going 6-for-11 from the floor and grabbing five of his eight rebounds off the offensive glass. The rookie from North Carolina also led both squads with three blocked shots.
By the Numbers – 12.6 … scoring average for C.J. Miles over his last three games – including his season-high 15-point effort in Saturday's loss to Detroit.
Quotable – Tyler Zeller, breaking down the Cavaliers' troubles during their five-game losing streak …
"We've just got to put four quarters together, which we've struggled with all year. We have slow starts and then finish strong and vice versa. We've got to put four quarters together and be able to withstand runs."
Up Next – The Cavaliers have two straight home games only once in the month of December and their second straight contest at The Q comes on Tuesday when they welcome Kobe Bryant and the Lakers to Cleveland. After that, it's right back on the road, where they'll face the Pacers on Wednesday night in Indy.

OTTAWA - Bryan Murray wants to stick around.
Eugene Melnyk wants to keep the veteran GM. All they have to do is work out the details.
The Senators owner, in town for his 10th annual charity skate for kids Monday afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre, said hes had talks with Murray about a contract extension.
While Melnyk called the discussions with Murray, 71, preliminary, its believed the two sides have talked about a one-year deal and will continue until a deal is in place with his contract set to expire in July.
Weve had some preliminary talks, said Melnyk. I would love to see (Murray) next year and he would love to finish off (his career) with a Stanley Cup and I would like to see him leave with a Stanley Cup."

A Lexus LFA Nürburgring takes on an Eclipse 500 jet - image: LexusEnlarge Photo
Update: Marc Arnold, the pilot for Rocky Mountain Jet who flew the Eclipse 500 against the Lexus LFA, was kind enough to give us detailed information on the race. Rather than leaving his insight as a comment, we thought it more relevant to include it in the body of the original story. Thanks go to Marc for providing his response, seen in its entirety on pages two and three.
A few days back, Lexus announced an interesting-if-not-uncommon showdown between its LFA supercar, equipped with the Nürburgring package, and an Eclipse 500 corporate jet at an airfield in Longmont, Colorado.
Since a showdown from a standing start would clearly go to the LFA, the contest allowed a flying start for the jet versus a standing start for the LFA. As the jet crossed the start / finish line, Scott Pruett would launch the LFA, travel the 4,800 feet length of the runway, turn around and repeat the process.
The jet, already traveling at 150 knots (about 173 mph), would need to bank at the end of the runway before completing the two-way run, with the honors going to the first vehicle to cross the start / finish line. The video below explains the details, and we're fairly sure Lexus will follow up with a video of the race.
Since the stunt was sponsored by Lexus, it's really no surprise that the LFA beat the Eclipse 500 by some two seconds, which has us asking all sorts of questions. We know that Pruett was going flat out in the LFA, but we doubt that the Eclipse 500 had its throttles to the firewall and probably wasn't banked at the limits of the airframe.
Could a more aggressive pilot (flying at a higher altitude for safety) have made up the winning two second gap? Is the Eclipse 500 capable of faster speeds and tighter banking? We can't answer those questions, but we'd sure love to hear from readers who can.

Recently, I was explaining over coffee to an acquaintance how good psychology advice often helps people at the unspectacular-yet-useful level. "Have a shower and get dressed in the morning", "Eat nutritiously", "Call a friend", "Walk the dog". This person was criticizing a religious organization for hypocrisy. Well, ok. Great religions have messages that are hard to live out. My answer to this interlocutor was: Well, what are you doing about it? Disenchantment, disaffectation, and "dissing" generally are easy to do. My point is not to hitch on to this tenor of thinking, nor to complain about it (too much) but rather to say: however small a thing you do, if you do it in a spirit of making a good kind of difference, that thing can grow and you will find that so will you.
An initiative at my school in the last several years has been focused on "bringing psychology to the community". I have participated in it, and been a glad contributor. As a group of clinical psychology graduate students, we organized yearly public lectures at the local downtown library. Talks such as "Finding Happiness", "Healthy Relationships", "Beating Procrastination", and "Getting Kids to Sleep" have been presented. Presentations are vetted by qualified supervisors. The series also aims to get community members in contact with reliable resources: local agencies, national mental health websites, and a scientifically-screened selection of mental health books at the library. The best part of it, for me, was to have seen what some good old fashioned pro bono can do for program spirit, for community goodwill, and for individual students to get a certain pro-social bent "in utero" as it were, for their nascent careers. Too often, becoming cynical and jaded is the way harried students survive graduate school. The other option is: reach out and give.
Getting to know audiences, the community, advertising venues and making our niche material accessible to the general public is an exercise in the intense democratization of higher learning. The discipline required in conveying advanced concepts in a responsible yet accessible way is a dependably valuable skill. Ask Leon Festinger, the founder of cognitive dissonance theory: Why are college athletics so often more appealing than professional sports? Perhaps for the same reason students get a thrill from being a volunteer crew: "If it can't be for the money, then it's something I must really love to do!

Movie Review of Solitary Man Starring Michael Douglas
Solitary Man: Better Left Alone
Hollywood's latest archetype appears to be the older man in search of himself. We witnessed it most recently with Ben Stiller in Greenberg, and now comes Michael Douglas ready to give the role a go in Solitary Man.
Douglas stars as Ben Kalmen, a 60-something divorcee and former car magnate who now uses his smarmy sales techniques to pick up women half his age — some as young as 18. He has no discretion, often ogling the prospective one-night stands in front of his ex-wife (Susan Sarandon), daughter (Jenna Fischer), and even his grandson (who he insists should never call him "grandpa" in public). It's an obvious case of Peter Pan syndrome, spawned by a heart scare. You almost want to feel bad for the man for his desperate attempt to reclaim his youth, but it's hard to do when he'd rather bed women than get his health checked.
And there is the rub. Douglas could give the performance of his life in Solitary Man (and trust me, he is excellent), but the character of Ben is so hard to like — and unfortunately, the movie is all about him.
For more on what I mean
Ben once committed shady money dealings that nearly landed him in jail, cost him a chunk of change in bail, and ruined all of his professional — and most of his personal — relationships. To get back on his feet, he's dating a wealthy businessman's offspring (Mary-Louise Parker) in the hopes of using daddy's influence to his benefit. So to keep his lover happy, he agrees to take her daughter (Imogen Poots) to his alma mater for her college interview. After a couple drinks at the hotel bar, he jumps into bed with the young girl and really screws things up.
All of the supporting characters are great here: Jesse Eisenberg is adorable as a bumbling freshman who Ben mentors, Sarandon is sharp as his ex-wife, and Danny DeVito plays a loyal old college friend. But whenever they appear on the screen, it's not nearly for long enough, and it all goes back to Ben's issues.
Despite Ben trying to dig himself out, he manages to mess up every opportunity by thinking with his libido instead of with his brain. As a result, he spins his wheels, and the film doesn't seem to go anywhere either. Ben just continues to fall deeper and deeper, and we're left in limbo, waiting for him to grow up for good — but perhaps that's asking too much.

Way to go, Katie!
The Golden Gate Business Association announces new Executive Director
San Francisco, Calif. (December 3, 2007) – The Golden Gate Business Association ("GGBA") today announced the appointment of Katherine Dean as their new Executive Director. Ms. Dean replaces the outgoing John D'Alessandro, who has managed the organization for the past two years and is now moving to Miami, Florida.
Dean comes to the nation's oldest and most prestigious LGBT Chamber of Commerce with over twenty-five years of management experience, including being CEO of several high-tech startups. For the last eight years she has been providing business consulting to both Fortune 500 and small startups, specializing in marketing and strategic planning.
Representing nearly 500 LGBT businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area, the GGBA provides networking, business assistance, support, and advertising opportunities to its members. Their "Pride Pages" business directory has a circulation of 35,000 and represents some of the major names in LGBT supported businesses including Wells Fargo, First Bank, Planet Out, and Travelocity.
Peggy Hughes, GGBA's newly elected Board President, said Dean brings the kind of experience the organization needs to move forward to the next level. In addition, Ms. Dean is a post-op transsexual woman, which is certain to raise the visibility of transgendered inclusion within LGBT leadership roles. "We are excited to have Katherine join us as our new Executive Director," Hughes said. "First and foremost, we chose the best qualified person for the job. At the same time, San Francisco always leads by example, and I do believe having an openly transgendered woman in this highly visible role strengthens the inclusiveness of our diverse business community."
"I personally felt it was time to make a stand and come out," Dean said. "I've spent over a decade trying to hide my history of being transgendered, but after what happened last month with ENDA, I chose to come help make a difference."
"I'm very proud to be here, at this time, and in this role." Dean said. "I can think of no higher honor right now than assisting in the growth and prosperity of LGBT businesses in the City of San Francisco."
For over thirty years, the GGBA has served as a dynamic voice for the Bay Area's LGBT businesses. Specifically, it has built a community of diverse LGBT businesses providing significant value for the economy and has provided a strong voice both to the Office of the Mayor and to the members of the Board of Supervisors. The GGBA provides members with networking and mentoring opportunities, informal business advice, business leads and referrals. The organization provides a sense of community for members facing the task of doing business in today's rapidly changing and challenging marketplace.

Murata develops anti-fuse element
Post a comment
Smyrna, Ga.Murata Electronics North America has introduced an anti-fuse element for light emitting diodes (LEDs).
Developed to control open defects in LEDs, Murata's anti-fuse device prevents the lowering of power supply voltage, typically observed in Zener diodes, which results in higher energy efficiency.
Murata's anti-fuse element is connected in parallel to a serial LED, allowing each LED to stay lit should one become open. This allows for uninterrupted and even light, reduced maintenance costs and increased energy efficiency. The company's anti-fuse element can be used in all LED lighting fixtures and is especially well suited for large outdoor lights that generally require more maintenance.
The anti-fuse element measures 1.0mm x 0.5mm x 0.5mm. However, 0.6mm x 0.3mm and 0.4mm x 0.2mm sizes are in development. The allowable current is 350mA with a nominal voltage of 4V and a trigger voltage of 20V. Before activation, the insulating resistance is 1MΩ and the resistance after activation is less than 3Ω.
This new product is available in sample quantities for 40 cents and lead times are approximately eight to 10 weeks starting January 2010.

Brewers' barrage of homers gets best of Keuchel
Brewers' barrage of homers gets best of Keuchel
Keuchel, who threw a complete game in his second career start in June, showed glimpses of excellence in his 16 starts this season, but Saturday night represented a lesson in how far he still has to go.
In the shortest outing of his brief big league career, Keuchel was pulled after 2 1/3 innings after giving up eight hits, including three home runs, and seven earned runs in the Astros' 9-5 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park.
"Kind of disappointing to end on this note, but I can always get better and look forward to next year," said Keuchel, who finished 3-8 with a 5.27 ERA.
The loss was No. 106 of the season for the Astros, tying their club record set last season, but they didn't go down without a fight.
Down to their final out in the ninth inning, the Astros clubbed three homers off reliever Livan Hernandez, who was in spring camp with Houston. Fernando Martinez and Brian Bogusevic hit two-run shots, and Tyler Greene hit a solo blast as the crowd booed Hernandez loudly.
Jose Veras got Brandon Barnes to fly out for the final out.
"It was nice they didn't quit," said Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco, whose team didn't have an extra-base hit in the first eight innings.
Keuchel went 0-2 in three starts against the Brewers this year, with both losses coming on the road. In those two starts at Miller Park, he allowed 15 hits and 14 runs in 6 1/3 innings.
"After the last game against St. Louis [when] he went seven innings, giving up no runs, we thought he was going to pitch like he did over there," DeFrancesco said. "He fell behind today and made some mistakes to some pretty good hitters. [Corey] Hart got him a couple of times today and that's a pretty potent offense over there. It showed why where they're at. Once you fall behind, he didn't have much left. He didn't have much velocity. Just one of those days for him."
Aramis Ramirez and Hart hit back-to-back homers to lead off the second, and Norichika Aoki added a two-run, two-out bloop single later in the inning that took about as much wind out of the Astros' sails as the homers. The Brewers led, 4-0.
"It was a curveball up," Keuchel said. "I got ahead of him, 0-1, with the curveball and should have just attacked him inside with two-seams and stuff. When I look back now, it's like 'Why the hell did I do that?' but you live, you learn."
Ryan Braun and Ramirez began the third with consecutive singles before Hart walloped a three-run homer to right field -- his seventh against the Astros this year and 30th for the season -- to give the Brewers a 7-0 lead. The three homers allowed in the game matched the total given up by Keuchel in his previous eight starts combined.
"I think the last four starts before this one, I was progressing well and understanding hitters' philosophy against me and my understanding of what I can do with the baseball in my hand," Keuchel said. "Today I just backtracked a little bit and didn't make the pitches inside."
Keuchel went 6-4 with a 3.90 ERA in 16 starts at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the season, with DeFrancesco at the helm. DeFrancesco said he's going to have to keep his sinker down and away, use his changeup more and get more bite on his breaking ball."
"He's learning at the Major League level, but to stay here, he's going to have to make some major adjustments," he said. "The inconsistency is what you see, and that's what we have to try to address. Hopefully he can make the adjustments. When he's on, he's a tough left-handed starter for this league."
Brewers starter Marco Estrada held the Astros to four hits through eight scoreless innings, striking out 11 batters to beat the Astros for the first time in his career.
"The beginning of the game, I know he threw up some zeroes, but he was in trouble every one of those innings," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The leadoff hitter was on [in innings] two, three, four, five, and then in the sixth, seventh and eighth, his command got way better. His fastball got better. Curveball got better. I'm glad he finished up that way, because I thought it was going to be a struggle to finish today."

The Commission and Fisher-Price have investigated 3 incidents in which the head of the bluebird toy became stuck over the noses and mouths of young children's faces by suction. The toy heads were forcibly removed from the children's faces by parents.
The "Splash & Stack Bluebird" is a 5-piece stacking toy, the head of which is blue in color with an orange beak. When stacked the toy resembles a bird sitting in a nest. The Model #167 is stamped on the bottom of the toy.
Approximately 278,000 toys were shipped by Fisher-Price between March and December, 1983. The bluebird sells at retail for approximately $5.20.
In December, 1983, Fisher-Price redesigned the head of the toy by adding ridges to the inside of the beak of the bird head which should eliminate any potential suffocation hazard associated with the toy head. The head of the toy without ridges in the beak is the only portion of the toy which is being recalled by Fisher-Price.
Consumers who have purchased the original toy should immediately remove the toy head from use by children and return only the head portion to Fisher-Price, Department 167, 636 Girard Avenue, East Aurora, New York 14052. Fisher-Price will replace it with the redesigned head and provide reimbursement for postage.
Consumers who have questions may call Fisher-Price directly on the Toll Free line 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. E.S.T., l-800-828-7319, or in New York State only, l-800-462-7359.

Cities large enough to receive aid from the state get payments twice a year. The second payment is due Dec. 15th.
Tim Flaherty,with the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities says, city managers have budgeted that money to cover payments already made throughout the year.
"If they don't get that, and if they don't have - if it's a significant cut and they don't have enough in reserves, there's really nothing they can do about it," Flaherty said.
Cities with cash reserves can try to make up for the loss of revenue this year by budgeting for it next year. However, most cities' fiscal years end December 31st and they've already completed their budgets and set their tax levies.
Flaherty says cities spend state aid money on essential city departments like police and fire service.
"So if they have no ability to raise revenues because their levies have been set, all they can do is cut. Which means most of their budgets are public safety," he said.
The state operates on a fiscal year which starts in July and ends on June 30. So the Governor could still choose not to reduce the Dec. 15th aid payment. But city managers across the state are bracing for cuts in future budgets.
It's discouraging... that we're now faced with the prospect of taking on the burden of helping the state balance their own budget."Mayor Don Ness
Like a lot of other cities, Bemidji is still trying to recover from the last major cuts in state aid five years ago.
City manager John Chattin says state money accounts for 37 percent of his city's budget. He worries that the governor and state legislators who want to cut state aid assume that city governments like his still have some fat to trim from their budgets.
"Ten years ago I think it probably was, but governments have certainly leaned up in the last 10 years and there just isn't much, well, there isn't anything available," Chattin said. "If you're going to cut now, you're going to be cutting services."
Chattin worries that another big cut could mean layoffs and early retirements for police officers and fire firefighters.
Duluth city officials say they've already taken a butcher's knife to the balance sheet.
This year, the city has cut jobs, privatized the zoo operations and shut down city government for five days in order to save money. Mayor Don Ness says the city depleted its reserves to balance its 2008 budget.
"It's discouraging," Ness said. "After putting in a full year of budget recovery, in which we actually will be recovering over $18 million between '08 and '09, that we're now faced with the prospect of taking on the burden of helping the state balance their own budget."
The state's largest cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, also depend heavily on state aid.
Minneapolis is expecting a $41 million check from the state in a few weeks. City officials say it's possible the governor could reduce that amount, but they don't expect he will.
Finance director Pat Born says if it does happen, the city will have to tap into its $50 million cash reserve fund.
"But we would probably, in order to rebuild those cash reserves, we would probably need to cut spending next year by the amount of the reduction in local government aids," Born said.
Minneapolis began a series of cost-cutting measures following the big aid cuts of 2003. And Born says the city's budget is already pretty lean.
The other option for cities is to raise property taxes in order to make up for lost state aid revenue. This year, Mayor R.T. Rybak had proposed a smaller property tax increase than in past years.
However today, Rybak told city council members in a budget meeting, that he's now proposing an increase that hits the eight percent cap.
Rybak says it became necessary to do so after city leaders learned recently that employee pension benefits will cost $38 million more than budgeted in 2010.
The mayor is also proposing a hiring freeze and finance director Pat Born says layoffs may also be in the near future.

CARSON, Calif. – Yes, this figures to be an important year for the LA Galaxy's Jack McBean. Yes, expectations are high for the Newport Beach native.
But before anybody puts any undue pressure on the youngest player to ever score a goal in club history, one important fact must not be overlooked.
He isn't even 20.
"You gotta remember that," Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said of McBean, who turns 20 in mid-December. "He's 19 years old. I don't think his career is yet defined."
It's hard to digest McBean already is in his fourth season with the Galaxy – "I can't believe I'm saying that; it's pretty crazy," he said with a smile after training this week – but it's true. McBean joined the Galaxy Academy's U-16 team in the summer of 2010 and made his first appearance with the big club in a friendly against Manchester City in July of 2011. He played in his first MLS game in October of that year against the Houston Dynamo, against whom he scored his historic goal.
McBean is coming off a season in which he made 21 appearances in all competitions, more than double his combined total of the two previous seasons, and had a goal and two assists before suffering a broken left clavicle in a collision with Real Salt Lake's Nat Borchers in late April.
McBean was sidelined until June after the injury and never seemed to recapture his earlier form.
He went to England in December for two weeks of training with League One's Wolverhampton Wanders and Football League Championship side Blackburn Rovers and is in camp hopeful of a big year.
Whether that will happen with the first team remains to be seen, but he certainly is a prime candidate to play on the Galaxy's new Galaxy II, which will compete in USL Pro, a division of U.S. soccer just below that of MLS. The Galaxy is the first MLS team to field a side (it will be made up of first-teamers, Galaxy Academy players and its own signings) in the league.
"I think it's awesome," McBean said. "I'm excited to see what my role on that team is going to be. Obviously they're going to have a full season, which is cool, and play against good competition.
"That's what we need, play in games and score goals."
Added Arena, "I think Jack, like a couple other players in his situation, will be able to use the USL club this year to give him a lot more experience in games as well.
"It's his job, whether it's with our team or the USL team, to earn his right on the field and make something of those opportunities."
McBean remains hopeful of getting such chances. He feels the experience in England was beneficial – "Just seeing how the game is different over there, the intensity," he said – and so far, so good in camp.
"I came into preseason I thought pretty fit; I'm doing all right," he said. "I'm comfortable with the guys and I have confidence in myself.
"I just want to be better than last year, get more first-team minutes, score more goals and help the team."

ObamaCare being a particularly expensive undertaking, the law includes "more than 15 revenue-raising measures," according to the New York Times. One of those measures, a tax-reporting requirement for small businesses, is now coming under a great deal of scrutiny, with both Republicans and Democrats offering up bills to repeal it in whole or in part. (The Times notes that "many lawmakers were apparently unaware of it when they voted for final passage of the legislation," undoubtedly because it was rushed through Congress so that they couldn't "find out what's in it" until it had already become law.)
As The New American reported in April, the law mandates that "all businesses must issue a 1099 whenever they [sic] total gross revenue from business they do with an outside concern exceeds $600 annually." This could easily amount to hundreds of such forms even for a very small business — a "crippling" burden on small businesses, as Joe Wolverton II described it.
Nina E. Olson, the Internal Revenue Service's national taxpayer advocate, echoed Wolverton's sentiments, telling the Times that the reporting burden might "turn out to be disproportionate as compared with any resulting improvement in tax compliance."
The silver lining to the cloud is that because the new reporting requirement applies to over 38 million businesses, "the I.R.S. will face challenges making productive use of this new volume of information reports," Olson said. Clogging up the already sluggish machinery at the IRS, as this and other ObamaCare mandates do, may be the only good thing to come out of Barack Obama's signal achievement.
"Most Republicans want a full repeal," says the Times. "In a recent speech, the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, said the '1099 mandate' showed how the health care law could 'wreak havoc on employers and entrepreneurs.'" Rep. Dan Lungren of California and Sen. Mike Johanns of Nebraska are heading up the GOP's repeal efforts.
Democrats are a bit more conflicted, having voted for ObamaCare in the first place and not wanting to go against a President of their own party. "The White House is nervous about a repeal," writes the newspaper, "fearing that it could set a precedent for rolling back other unpopular features of the law."
Rep. Scott Murphy of New York has led House Democrats' efforts to repeal the 1099 mandate, and "in late July, 239 House Democrats voted for repeal, but the bill did not get the two-thirds majority needed for approval under the expedited procedure used then," according to the Times.
In the Senate, repeal has been added as an amendment to a small-business jobs bill that will be soon be coming up for a vote — a bill that Obama "strongly supports," says the Times, though "he has not embraced a repeal of the reporting requirement." It will be interesting to see if the bill passes with the amendment intact and, if so, whether Obama will sign or veto it.
While Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.) voted for ObamaCare but supports full repeal of the reporting requirement, Democrats are also offering up a "half-measure," as Johanns described it. Florida Sen. Bill Nelson's plan exempts businesses with 25 or fewer employees from the new reporting requirement and raises the reporting threshold from $600 to $5,000 — changes that Nelson said would exempt over 90 percent of companies from having to issue the new flurry of 1099 forms. If that is the case, why not just go whole hog and repeal it?
Besides, as Stephanie Cathcart, a spokeswoman for the National Federation of Independent Business, pointed out, in order for a business to know if it has exceeded the $5,000 threshold for the year, it will still have to keep extensive records of all its payments to outside vendors. Nelson's plan, therefore, saves businesses very little work.
Of note also is that the parties have differing approaches to making up for the loss of revenue — estimated to be up to $17 billion over 10 years — that repealing all or part of the 1099 mandate would cause. Johanns, reports the Times, "would cut spending from a new prevention and public health fund," while Nelson "would increase taxes on big oil companies."
The repeal plan, supported by most Republicans and a significant number of Democrats, coupled with the Johanns spending cuts, actually reduces the burden on businesses and all other taxpayers. Nelson's plan merely makes a show of reducing the burden without actually doing so and simultaneously raises taxes that will ultimately be paid not by oil companies but by consumers. Though Nelson's is more likely to be signed by Obama, Republicans and Democrats alike should get behind full repeal with spending cuts. Those who vote for repeal will benefit by improving their chances for getting reelected, and all Americans will benefit by the removal of these onerous burdens from the U.S. economy.
UPDATE: Since this article was written, the Senate has rejected both the Johanns and Nelson amendments, failing to vote for cloture on either. Senators who favor repeal will therefore have to find another way to bring it up for a vote and to convince enough of their colleagues to join them in voting for repeal. Calls, letters, and emails from constituents could go a long way toward bringing senators around.


text: My old friend is coming to town to get married at the end of June. I'm looking for a nice SF restaurant to take them to for after the event. Noonish on a Saturday (they're going up to wine country in the late afternoon, so please no recommendations for dinner). They'd like views, I'd like good seafood/fresh veggies. Can be pricey or funky. What do my fellow hounds think about Waterbar or La Mar Cebicheria? How about the Cliff House for the funk factor? I really like taking people to Top of the Mark for cocktails, but they're not open then for lunch. Thanks!!

Holiday greenery has a history that goes well beyond the Victorian Christmas tree we gather around today. Most of the holiday greenery we use to decorate dates back to the pagan holidays of the Romans and Northern Europeans when certain plants where chosen for their symbolic powers of restoration and protection.
Pulaski County farmer Mark Haney was re-elected president of Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) on the concluding day of the organization's 92nd annual meeting. Also re-elected were Webster County's Eddie Melton as First Vice-President and Hart County's J. Fritz Giesecke as Second Vice-President. They comprise KFB's Executive Committee along with Executive Vice President David S. Beck.
I like the winter landscape because I can see past the green canvas of summer into neighboring fields where horses graze and a pet cow that is almost as old as me slumbers. I can see mistletoe everywhere, too, driving down the interstate, walking in the park, sitting at a traffic light. It is there if you look into the canopies of trees devoid of their leafy-ness. We are obviously not the first to notice round globs of greenery nestled in tree tops.
You may be delighted to put gardening behind you for the season, but fall is the time to manage and prevent disease in next year's garden. Summer crops may still be standing, even after being killed by heavy frosts and cold temperatures. At this time, you can take preemptive measures to help ensure a successful and bountiful garden next season.
The Spencer County Farm Bureau was recognized for outstanding membership and program achievement during the recent 92nd Kentucky Farm Bureau annual meeting in Louisville.

One of a few sure things in my life is that I can keep my African violets in bloom year round. Many complain that after the first flush of blooms fades, the only thing left is a year's worth of fuzzy foliage. Well, with a little attention you can keep your African violet cycling in and out of bloom all year round. African violets are easier to grow than many think, if you create a favorable growing environment
Each year, I like to pass along the following tips and information about the most popular plant of the holiday season, the poinsettia.
Traditional red and green colors are well represented in the flowers available for the holidays. Poinsettias, the most popular and spectacular holiday flowers, can combine both these colors.
At the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, two Spencer County FFA members received the highest degree awarded by the organization.
The Spencer County FFA recently competed in the state FFA land judging career development event at the Kentucky FFA Leadership Camp in Hardinsburg.
I seriously cannot believe it is almost December. It is time to start decorating for the holidays, which includes the poinsettia. The poinsettia has been a fixture in American homes as a holiday decoration for as long as most of us can remember. I think it is fair to say that it is considered the "official" Christmas flower. In fact the U.S. Census Bureau says that over 75 million plants were sold last holiday season.
