The brother of a suicidal man who drowned off an Alameda beach while police and firefighters watched is waiting to find out if a judge will allow his lawsuit against the city to proceed.
KGO-TV reports ( http://bit.ly/11UByTx ) that during a hearing in Alameda County Superior Court Thursday a lawyer for the city asked to have the suit dismissed.
Attorney Greg Fox argued that first responders are immune for liability unless their actions exacerbated the danger 53-year-old Raymond Zack put himself in.
Fire officials have said they did not rescue Zack because they lacked water rescue training.
The lawyer for Zack's brother claimed that first responders who stood by while Zack succumbed to hypothermia did endanger the man by clearing the beach and stopping people who waded into the frigid water to speak with him.

DENVER — Altitude and attitude.
In the Mile High City, the dog-tired Edmonton Oilers amazingly moved to the top of the Western Conference ladder Friday night with a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche, showing off their first-month swagger that's seen them win four in a row.
The Oilers didn't get to their Denver hotel until 3:20 a.m. Friday morning after becoming the first team to beat the Washington Capitals on Thursday at Rexall Place.
But if they needed some rest, there was no rust in their game as they ran their record to 6-2-2, which ties the Oilers with the Dallas Stars for first place in the West at 14 points.
Instead of counting on the young guns — Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle, who didn't get a shot until late in the third period — they got some welcome production from other sources.
Ryan Smyth, who played two years with the Avalanche before he was traded to the Los Angeles Kings, set up goals by Cam Barker, Andy Sutton and Shawn Horcoff. The Horcoff goal came 22 seconds after Ryan O'Reilly narrowed Colorado's deficit to 2-1 with a power-play score on Edmonton goaltender Devan Dubnyk.
It was the first power-play goal the Oilers have given up since the Vancouver Canucks scored twice on Oct. 15. But that was it against Dubnyk, who was tremendous making 40 stops.
Smyth looked his age (35) against the Capitals, but was very good here when he should have been dragging.
"These fans are coming to see you for old-time's sake . . . not that Nugent-Hopkins' kid," somebody said to Smyth.
"Yeah, sure. Don't think so," Smyth replied.
Well, Nugent-Hopkins didn't get a point, but Smyth had his best offensive night of his comeback with the Oilers and now has eight points.
While the kids were silent, the defenceman Barker got his first NHL goal since Jan. 2, 2011, almost 10 months ago, off a nifty feed from Sam Gagner. Then fellow blue-liner Sutton, 36, sashayed into the slot in front of Avs goalie Semyon Varlamov to tip Finnish winger Lennart Petrell's long slapper. It was Sutton's first goal celebration since March 16, 2010, a span of 60 games. It was his 36th career goal in 634 NHL games.
Barker's and Sutton's goals came in the second period when the Oilers were outshot 14-5 but showed equal parts inspiration and perspiration.
While the Oilers were opportunistic around Colorado's Russian netminder — they had only 19 shots — Dubnyk was rock-solid in his first game in 10 days after a 2-1 loss to the Flames in Calgary. After watching Nikolai Khabibulin win three games in a row and give up only three goals in 91 shots, Dubnyk had a tough act to follow. But, he did it, making 39 saves.
"I got to see Khabby putting on a clinic . . . and seeing that is motivation for me to keep it going," said Dubnyk.
The Oilers have given up only 14 goals in 10 games — the shootout goals that Matt Cullen and Dany Heatley scored for the Minnesota Wild to beat Edmonton 2-1, don't count. This was the ninth time the Oilers have surrendered two or fewer goals. The only defensive blemish was Vancouver's 4-3 win two weeks ago.
ON THE BENCH: Sutton clocked Avs rookie Gabriel Landeskog with an elbow in the third period, leading to a fight with Shane O'Brien. The league might take a look at the hit. . . . The Oilers recalled defenceman Jeff Petry from their American Hockey League farm team at Oklahoma City with Ryan Whitney (sprained knee) out until mid-November at the earliest, but he didn't dress. Neither did Linus Omark, who sat out his fourth straight game and fifth overall.

I'd forgotten that the offsets will change with platforms, even though one of the reasons I was attracted to c2hs was because I didn't want to have to worry about that myself. Looks like I put that concern a little too far outside my thoughts! The API is definitely not the same on every platform. There can even be size variances on the same platform depending on the C library's build options, which is yet another item that needs to be done on the end-users machine. John

My Nonprofit Reviews
Mrs. Davis
Review for Portsmouth Community Health Center Inc, Portsmouth, VA, USA
I am the Board Chair and working with The Hampton Roads Community Health Clinic has been such a rewarding experience. I have been able to couple my passion for the good of humanity and the
development of our local communities, and use it to build new relationships and strengthen
existing ones. Being a part of a team that is able to provide quality medical and dental care
throughout the Tidewater Region is simply amazing.
One of the things I am most excited about is the implementation of The Affordable Health
Care Act. The Affordable Health Care Act extends coverage and service to patients giving
consumers control to receive quality health care without restrictions and limitations. Because
of this, Community Health Centers are able and committed to offering their patients whether
insured or uninsured the same quality care others received from mainstream health care
facilities. Due to the rapid advancement in medical technology, community health centers
can now provide patient portals. These portals give all patients the ability to retrieve their
health records electronically and communicate with their health care providers as well as the
supporting staff.
A major milestone for HRCHC happened in 2012 when Joanne Grossi, Regional Director for
the United States Department of Health and Human Services visited our Portsmouth Site to
announce that we were the recipients of $600,000 New Access Point Grant. These federally
funded dollars allowed us to plan the opening of two new sites. These sites opened their
doors to the public December of 2012 and are fully operating in the East Ocean View area as
well as Norfolk's Young's Terrace. Since we opened the doors we have seen a total of 1,743
patients: East Ocean View with a total of 1,186 and Young's Terrace with 557. Because of this
we are reaching more people and transforming larger portions of the community. Our promise
is to remain focused on communities and ensure that we give them quality health care and
superior service.

A Unified Approach to Measurement Error and Missing Data: Overview and Applications
Although social scientists devote considerable effort to mitigating measurement error during data collection, they often ignore the issue during data analysis. And although many statistical methods have been proposed for reducing measurement error-induced biases, few have been widely used because of implausible assumptions, high levels of model dependence, difficult computation, or inapplicability with multiple mismeasured variables. We develop an easy-to-use alternative without these problems; it generalizes the popular multiple imputation (MI) framework by treating missing data problems as a limiting special case of extreme measurement error, and corrects for both. Like MI, the proposed framework is a simple two-step procedure, so that in the second step researchers can use whatever statistical method they would have if there had been no problem in the first place. We also offer empirical illustrations, open source software that implements all the methods described herein, and a companion paper with technical details and extensions (Blackwell, Honaker, and King, 2014b).

On Wednesday, March 9th around 8pm I started having contractions. Almost immediately, they were 4 minutes apart and very intense. This was the only time that I was aware of the clock. I had requested to John and Brenda that I did not want to know anything about the time as I did not want to get discouraged if things were taking 'too long'. I had had several bouts of preparatory ("false") labor in the preceding weeks, which had really prepared my body and allowed me to skip right ahead to true/hardcore labor when things actually got going. John went around the house, cleaning and getting things ready while I walked around in my bathrobe and swayed my hips with each contraction. By 11pm, I know it was really the real thing and had John call Brenda to give her a 'heads up'. We continued laboring for several more hours. Brenda suggested that we get some rest and lie down. However, for me, lying down was excruciating. It felt like the pressure of the bed on my belly was blocking the release of the pain. Being upright was my only option. My contractions got more intense and were coming one on top of the other. I would have 3-4 right in a row with barely a breath in between, then a 4 minute break. It was very intense. John was right there with me the whole time. As a contraction would start he would get down on his knees in front of me and I would lean forward and wrap my arms around his neck for support during the contraction.
At 4am John called Brenda back and told her it was time for her to come. I remember hearing him tell her that I was asking for help. I also remember that his voice sounded urgent, almost tense. I knew I couldn't do this alone anymore. I was ready for guidance. Brenda arrived around 5am. I was in the shower when she arrived and when I got out and dried off, I realized that she was sitting on the floor in our bedroom. John later told me that the way she entered was very interesting. She sat in the hallway and listened to me while I was vocalizing with low tones in the shower. She then moved into the room and continued observing. Once I knew she was there, she moved into the bathroom and sat on the floor in there. It was a very gentle way for her to make her presence known. I really appreciated that.
By the time Brenda arrived, my contractions were stronger and my uterus was staying tight even during my 4 minute breaks and my thighs were shaking. This was the hardest part for me as I could not physically relax and I didn't feel like I was getting a break. Eventually, I started thinking about pushing. I didn't have a real urge, but the thought was there. It was more like my body was doing Kegel squeezes. Actual pushing started happening with a few of the contractions, but not all at once. At one point, I gave myself and internal exam and could feel the bag of waters. That was incredible because it made the progress much more apparent and tangible. My water broke while I was sitting on the toilet just 2 hours before the birth. After my water broke, things sped up considerably and every contraction demanded that I push. This was so totally involuntary and got to be pretty overwhelming. I did not feel in control of my body at all. Pushing is a feeling I just can't describle. It is a whole body effort and it truly connects you to the core of the earth. At this time, the most important thing to me was knowing that John was right there. All of the work we had done together became so important. I knew that whatever I needed was right there with him. He and Brenda sat on the floor near me and gave me encouragement and support while I pushed.
Eventually, I could reach inside myself and feel her head. I was afraid I felt her umbilical cord by her head and requested that Brenda do an internal exam. She felt and assured me that I was just feeling my own tissues and Paisley's squished up scalp. This was the only 'intervention' of our birth. It was quite empowering to be able to lead my own birth and to be the one making decisions about interventions like internal exams. Shortly after I felt the head in my birth canal, I started feeling like my pelvis was widening- like I couldn't close my legs. Interestingly, moving through my birth canal was not painful. The pain was completely from the contractions of my uterus and abdomen.
An hour and a half after my water broke, our baby began to crown. I had moved from the bathroom to our bed and I was on my hands and knees, arms propped up with pillows. Crowning was very painful and lasted about 30 minutes. I would feel the contraction start, then about two breaths later I would begin to push. I was pushing so hard and couldn't believe I had that much strength. After each contraction, I could feel her move back inside a little. With each contraction, she came further out, but also slid back in a little. The strangest part was feeling my tailbone raise and lower as she passed by. With each contraction, I just KNEW the next one had to be last one! This process started to be discouraging and my abdomen was getting sore from the contractions and pushing. I was so thankful when Brenda suggested that I get up off my elbows and brought my back more level, rather than being in a 'downward dog' position. I also made a conscious effort to sort of 'hold on' to each contraction after it ended so that she didn't slip back inside. I made a huge effort to breathe through the end of the contractions even though my body really wanted to keep pushing. Eventually, I pushed and felt her come out further than before and then I gathered myself mentally and pushed again, she came out a little more, then I pushed again even though the contraction was over, and her head was born! I could feel her rotate as she progressed and came out. I needed to wait for the next contraction to push out her body. While I was waiting, I heard our baby cry out and I was suddenly so shocked! The gravity of the situation hit me full force. THAT was why we were doing this! With the next contraction, I pushed her shoulders out and she rushed out with the rest of the amniotic fluid. There are no words to describe the split second shift from immense pressure, pain, and difficulty to the feeling of relief and awe as she was born. After her body was born, I stood up on my knees and John handed our baby to me through my legs so that I could hold her. I laid back into John's lap and just looked in amazement at our daughter. Her cord was a little short, so she laid on my belly as I passed the placenta so that she could reach to nurse. The placenta passed without trouble in less than 15 minutes. Paisley latched on and nursed right away. We cut the cord about an hour after she and our placenta were born. She weighed 8 pounds and 6 ounces and came out with a full head of jet black hair.
Our birth was absolutely incredible. It went exactly how we would have imagined in the best case scenario. I am so thrilled that our birth was free of interventions and free of complications for both myself and Paisley! I am so happy with how perfectly everything went and so thankful for how respected and protected I felt by the people I had invited into my birth experience. Brenda showed an incredible calming energy and really made me feel safe. John's support was something I can't describe in words.

Review and trailer: Goddess (12A) Ronan Keating shows he's no flash in the pan
IF you like musicals but think Walking On Sunshine sounds a little too edgy, this jaunty Aussie flick might be for you.
Starring housewives' favourite Ronan Keating's bare behind, and a string of very chripy song and dance routines, it's camper than Glastonbury and at times, just as wet.
Keating plays an eco-warrior sailor who has to leave his songwriter wife Elspeth (musical theatre star Laura Michelle Kelly) at home in Australia with their two sons while he's out saving the whales.
As Keating seems to be on the world's only ship that doesn't have a satellite phone, lonely Elspeth doesn't have anyone to moan at. So with a webcam hoisted over her kitchen sink, she decides to vent her frustrations in musical form.
Soon the whole planet is hooked on her song and dance routines about washing up, cooking and raising kids.
As this is a daft musical, it isn't long before fame beckons leaving Elspeth with a big dilemma. Does she choose her family or a showbiz career?
At times, Kelly has the air of a deranged children's TV presenter and the film's relentless chirpiness can feel rather testing.
But some of the songs are undoubtably catchy. Keating proves himself to be a surprisingly capable actor too. A scene where he is caught on the webcam washing up in just a flimsy pinny, shows he's a game one as well.
Out in UK cinemas from Friday, July 4

Party-hearty college students are being offered another way home from the bar: a prepaid, one-price card that will be accepted by Yellow Cab drivers in San Diego.
The "RADD/My Safe Ride Home" cards are priced at $30 and are renewable, according to promoters. Taxi drivers collect the full $30 whether it is a $10 fare or a $60 one.
The idea is to break down the reluctance of students to use taxicabs because of uncertain costs and also to give them an option to driving when they clearly shouldn't, according to Marian Novak, a regional manager for RADD, a non-profit entertainment industry group focused on road safety.
The San Diego project is the first of what is being envisioned as a national program.
The public launch came Thursday at the Sandbar in Mission Beach, at a party complete with a speech by the chief of police and music by the local duo, Ruby Summer.
The Sandbar was the first drinking establishment to sign up for the program, Novak said.
More than 70 bars and restaurants from Gaslamp to Carlsbad have signed on as RADD Rewards partners, offering incentives to card users. Also on board are Cal State San Marcos, San Diego State University, University of California San Diego and University of San Diego.
More than 1,800 college students die each year in drug and alcohol-related accidents and 78 percent of those involve driving while under the influence, according to Dr. James Lange, who oversees drug and alcohol programs at SDSU.
"These cards will break that fear of taking a cab," said SDSU student Ilda Llamas, a volunteer at the RADD card rollout.
Another student, Liz Gaynor, pointed out that a cab fare from Pacific Beach to SDSU is around $49, while Old Town to East County is $60, making the cards a bargain.
Health and safety advocates encourage students to have a plan before they go out at night, said Lange, who added, "This is a backup plan for when the pre-plan doesn't work."
Police Chief William Lansdowne said of the cards, "I could not be more supportive. Fatalities go up in the summer. We're getting ahead of that."
According to Yellow Cab's vice president of marketing Dan Brand, the $30 fee is an "introductory offer." Cabs will be able to collect data on card usage, length of trips and actual cost of fares.
Brand says once they have decent data on how the cards are being used they will discuss adjusting the price. RADD officials said that the cab company absorbs any cost over $30 and keeps anything under that. "Hopefully it will even out," said Novak.
Brand also pointed out that the 511 program launched last summer is the easiest way for anyone to get a cab. Simply dial 511, say "cab" and then give the dispatcher your address.
One of the performers at the Thursday event, Summer Spiro of Carlsbad, offered her own testimony: "I'm always the designated driver," she said between singing songs with her sister, Ruby Spiro. "But that doesn't always work. I often end up going home early. I encourage everyone to get the card."
The cards are available at any of the 70 participating bars and restaurants or visit www.radd.org.

- support the local community to market their products worldwide.
- supply any information about the investment opportunities in Botswana for foreign investors.
We will keep on posting ideas & concepts to this Block.

PHOENIX - House Speaker Andy Tobin unveiled his own new plan Tuesday to expand Medicaid, one that would give Arizona voters the final say, after calling the governor's proposal unacceptable and politically dead at the Legislature.
The measure would allow Arizona to add about 300,000 to the rolls of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System on top of the 1.3 million already enrolled, which is identical to what Gov. Jan Brewer wants to do.
But Tobin's plan puts far more conditions on the tax on hospitals that would be used to pay the state's share of the cost - primarily giving authority over the size of the levy to a legislative committee and not, as Brewer wants, her appointed head of the state's Medicaid program.
Tobin's alternative also includes provisions designed to cut health-care costs and add money for graduate medical education, which Brewer's version lacks. And there is funding for medical research for everything from heart disease to preventive care.
All that, he said, deals with the problems of high health-care costs rather than the symptoms.
"What drives down the cost is better health care," he said.
More controversial is a separate measure designed to restrict, if not bar, any of the funds from going to organizations that also provide abortion "because we're a pro-life Legislature."
The governor objected Tuesday to making the entire package subject to voter approval.
"I believe we are all elected by the voters of Arizona to make these tough decisions," the governor said. And she contended that lawmakers should simply ratify what she has proposed.
However, the conflict is not unlike 2010, when Brewer could not get lawmakers themselves to adopt a temporary one-cent tax hike so she rounded up the votes to have the issue sent to the ballot.
Brewer said she believes the public supports her Medicaid plan as much as they did her sales tax hike. But the governor conceded she would rather not take it directly to voters.
"It's really complex," she said. "I think it's something that's really difficult to get out there to explain."
And Brewer said she is not anxious to campaign in the middle of the summer, as the earliest this could get on the ballot would be August.
While Brewer is continuing her lobbying and series of rallies to pressure lawmakers to adopt her plan, Tobin said there just aren't the necessary votes, at least in the House, for what Brewer wants.
He said the governor should support any plan that gets the expansion she wants, even if it's not her way.
The fight surrounds the federal Affordable Care Act designed to provide free care for anyone up to an adjusted figure of 138 percent of the federal poverty level. AHCCCS already covers most families and some single adults up to 100 percent of the poverty level, about $19,530 a year for a family of three.
While the federal government will pick up most of the additional cost, expansion is not free.
Brewer proposes a $250 million levy on hospitals to cover the state's share. She said that will bring in about $1.6 billion in federal funds.
Most hospitals have signed on in support, figuring that the expanded eligibility will reduce the number of patients showing up without insurance and unable to pay their bills. And Brewer said her plan will bar hospitals from shifting the cost of the levy to others.
Tobin, however, is skeptical and wants independent oversight to make sure hospitals do not shift costs and that they use the extra federal funds to reduce uncompensated care and not to bolster corporate profits.
While opposing a public vote, Brewer did say there's a "good chance" she might adopt some of the details of what Tobin wants, including his proposal to end expanded coverage on Dec. 31, 2016, unless lawmakers decide to continue it.
Brewer said, though, said she's not interested in language in Tobin's plan aimed at Planned Parenthood.
The organization already gets Medicaid funds for family planning. And state and federal laws already bar public funds for elective abortions.
But critics contend any cash that goes to Planned Parenthood effectively underwrites its fixed costs for other services, including abortion.
A prior attempt by lawmakers to bar Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood was declared illegal by a federal judge. Tobin's plan would try some different language in hopes of getting it past the courts.
Brewer, however, said she does not want another court fight. And she called the proposal "unnecessary."
Tobin said a public vote is necessary because of the hospital assessment.
The Arizona Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of both the House and Senate for any tax increase. Brewer contends she doesn't need that many votes because her plan simply gives the AHCCCS director authority to levy a fee, which is not subject to the two-thirds rule.
Tobin called her interpretation legally questionable.
Beyond that, Tobin said this deserves public scrutiny. "This is a huge issue," he said, calling it "potentially the largest expansion of any government department or program in decades, if not our history."

How to Grill the Perfect Fish Filets
Fillets are the hardest part of the fish to grill, the problem is that fish fillets tend to stick to the grate and crumble when turned. The secret is to use a fish or vegetable grate with lots of small holes that fits on top of the grill. The grate holds the fillet flat so that pieces won't fall between the bars when you turn them.
Skinless Fillet Method
Preheat the grill to high
When ready to cook, place the grate on the grill and preheat for 5 minutes.
Brush the fish fillets with oil or melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
Generously oil the fish grate of the grill grate.
Arrange the fillets on the grate and cook until browned on the bottom and starting to turn opaque on the top, 3 to 6 minutes.
If the fillets are fragile avoid turning them. Instead cook with the grill covered.
For other more sturdy fillets, brush with oil or melted butter and cook until browned on the second side, 3 to 6 more minutes.
When done, the fish should break into firm flakes when pressed with a finger.
Skin-on method
This works well for fillets of oily fish, like bluefish and salmon.
Preheat the grill to medium-high
When ready to cook the fish, brush the skin of the fish with oil or melted butter.
Place the fillets, skin side down on the grate and cover the grill.
Cook the fish until the skin is darkly browned and crackling crisp and the meat flakes easily when pressed with a finger, 6 to 12 minutes.
If the skin starts to burn before the fish is cooked put the fillet into a piece of aluminum foil.
The topside will cook by the trapped-in heat.

How to Grill the Perfect Fish Steak
Steaks cut from firm, meaty fish like salmon, swordfish and tuna are delicious when grilled.
Cover the grill when cooking thick fish steaks to help speed up the cooking process.
Start with the freshest possible fish.
If you like your fish rare in the center, cut the steak 1"-2" thick.
If you like it cooked through, cut the steaks 1/2" thick.
When grilling salmon steaks, leave the bones in, they help hold the fish together.
Preheat the grill to high.
When ready to cook, brush the fish steaks on both sides with oil or melted butter and season.
If the steaks have been marinated in a mixture of oil, butter or coconut milk it is not necessary to oil again.
However oil the grate and place the fish on right after that has been done.
Arrange the fish steaks on the hot grate, all facing the same direction.
Cover the grill and cook the steaks on one side for about 2 minutes, if desired use a long spatula to rotate the 90 degrees to create a crosshatch of grill marks.
Carefully turn the steaks over, using the spatula and cook the other side rotating 90 degrees after 2 minutes and cover the grill again.
Tuna tastes best served rare or pink in the center, salmon should be cooked through.
To test the steaks for doneness, gently pierce the steak in the center with a knife; if should look cooked through... or, press the fish with your finger, when properly cooked the area around where you pressed should break into firm flakes.
If there is a center bone, the fish should pull away easily.
return to index
How to Skin and Bone Fish Filets
Fish fillets can be grilled with or without the skin. Some skin can be very tasty when grilled, but if a recipe calls for the skin to be removed here is how to do it.
Lay the fillet, skin side down, on a cutting board on the edge closest to you.
The narrow end (tail) to the left (or right if you are left-handed).
Holding the tail with your left (or right) hand, use a long slender knife and make a cut through the tail meat but not through the skin.
The cut should be made about 1/2 inch in from the end so you have a small piece to hold on to.
Gradually bring the knife blade parallel to the cutting board and cut toward the head of the fillet, using a sawing motion pinching the skin between the knife and the board.
The fillet will come away cleanly from the skin.
Then remember to check the fillet for any remaining bones by running your fingers over the top of the fillet. Pull out any bones you may find.

Just as a matter of interest - what is it about PCManFM you don't like or think is missing ?
For me it looks a little bland compared to say Cinnamon, but that can just be taken a personal opinion

ELISA: 0.5-1.0 μg/mL
This antibody can be used at 0.5-1.0 μg/mL with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect Mouse KIT. The detection limit for Mouse KIT is approximately 0.00245 ng/well.
C-Kit is a type 3 transmembrane receptor for MGF (mast cell growth factor, also known as stem cell factor). c-Kit contains 5 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.and 1 protein kinase domain. It belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, tyr protein kinase family and CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily. C-Kit contains 5 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains and 1 protein kinase domain. C-Kit has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Binding of the ligands leads to the autophosphorylation of KIT and its association with substrates such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Antibodies to c-Kit are widely used in immunohistochemistry to help distinguish particular types of tumour in histological tissue sections. It is used primarily in the diagnosis of GISTs. In GISTs, c-Kit staining is typically cytoplasmic, with stronger accentuation along the cell membranes. C-Kit antibodies can also be used in the diagnosis of mast cell tumours and in distinguishing seminomas from embryonal carcinomas. Mutations in c-Kit gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous lukemia, and piebaldism. Defects in KIT are a cause of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AML is a malignant disease in which hematopoietic precursors are arrested in an early stage of development. Note=Somatic mutations that lead to constitutive activation of KIT are detected in AML patients.

SAO PAULO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Brazil's JBS SA, the world's largest beef exporter, has agreed to buy Australian processed foods producer Primo Smallgoods for $1.25 billion.
The company will also buy food company Grupo Big Frango in Brazil for 430 million reais, ($165 million), stepping up the pace of acquisitions that have played a big part in its growth from a small family-run business into an international food company.
Primo Smallgoods is a leading producer of ham, sausage and bacon in Australia and New Zealand, with five producing units, seven distribution centers and 30 retail stores.
The purchase is in line with JBS's strategy of increasing business in value-added products rather than just exporting meats, JBS CEO Wesley Batista said in a statement late on Thursday.
"This is an excellent opportunity to grow our business in Australia, given the high rates of annual growth in the category of food products and the ability to increase sales of Primo Group via exports," Batista said.
JBS expects to reap 30 million Australian dollars in benefits from the deal, which is still subject to approval of Australian regulators.
JBS is also buying AMSE02 Participações, which controls Grupo Big Frango in southern Brazil. Big Frango slaughters 460,000 birds per day in two factories with annual sales of more than 1 billion reais.
In July, JBS's U.S. poultry unit, Pilgrim's Pride, acquired Tyson Foods Inc's poultry divisions in Mexico and Brazil.
JBS reported a five-fold increase in third quarter net profit from a year earlier and expects net revenues to rise 22 percent in 2014.

Hip-hop music is full of forgotten pioneers, and sometimes DJ Quik is one of them. Other times (every few years) he drops a new CD. Then it's as though he never left. The thing sells a ton—four of Quik's seven studio albums have gone gold or platinum—and spawns a radio-friendly hit you just can't get out of your head, until one day you do. Then it's so gone you can't remember it was ever there—or him, either. For DJ Quik, it's been that way for going on 16 years: on the charts, then off the charts, then out of mind.
That's probably the best that could have been expected for a guy too talented to be ignored, but too complicated to be stereotyped according to hip-hop's star-making machinery. DJ Quik has been gangsta, he's been conscious, he's been a touchy-feely New Age space case, and he's been holdin'-on-til-Jesus-comes Christian. He helped invent the classic West Coast sound in the early 1990s, but has avoided becoming an oldies act by updating his music—shifting focus from the characteristic and often caricatured deep funk to fresh, tight instrumentals.
While none of these identities appear to have been fake, Quik was among the very first to admit that at least one of them was a mistake: "I was very confused when I was doing gangsta rap music," he told me back in 1998. "I really didn't have a feel for what I wanted to do in this business, what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. So I was swayed, and I took on a destructive attitude. I was a foot soldier for a bad cause."
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Still, Quik remains mercurial, capable of turning his whip-smart raps into cruel tongue-lashings, his comic speed-dial delivery into dirges of near-despondence—although these days his mood swings seem buttressed by a sense of self-confidence, not bluster. Gone is the nave, million-selling prodigy who got ripped off by major label contracts he signed when he was 20 and turned out platinum discs like Quik Is the Name and Way 2 Fonky. Now, at 36, he's a wised-up, indie-label mainstay who parlays his reputation and work ethic into an ever-extending career, including last year's aptly titled Trauma (released on his own Mad Science label), which made many critical and Top 10 lists and even debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's independent chart.
He also means business: you can sense not only the planning behind Quik's upcoming shows at Anaheim's House of Blues, which coincide with his just-released CD Greatest Hits Live at the House of Blues, but also his cameo role as a Bar Mitzvah entertainer in the new comedy Keeping Up With the Steins—another nice, cross-promotional touch. It's obvious Quik hopes to steal some thunder from an August release of his greatest studio hits by Arista records, the company that dumped him when he stopped putting up huge sales numbers in the late 1990s.
Onstage, though, Quik is simply about the business of pleasure, his own and his audience's. He's still small, skinny and hyperkinetic, dashing about the stage while rattling off strings of bromides and philosophies, curses and comedy in the same, seemingly endless breath. He's old school that way, and don't you forget it.
DJ Quik "Old Skool Set" with Mitchy Slick at House of Blues Anaheim, 1530 S. Disneyland Dr., Anaheim, (714) 778-2583; www.hob.com/anaheim. Thurs.-Fri., June 15-16, 7 p.m. $26-$28.50. All ages.

This post was inspired my 6yr. old daughter,
who loves jewelry. I am not kidding. I think her first word was necklace. No joke. She pronounced it "neck-yes". 😉
My little girlfriend has always loved to play dress up and has always wanted to play with the "real" stuff.
Whenever I take her thrifting with me she gravitates towards the vintage jewelry.
She and her non-pierced ears discovered the joy of the vintage clip-on earring at the young age of 4. Ever since then she's been obsessed. She wears them (at home) and puts them on her dolls and stuffed animals. Teddy bears have never looked so chic.
Her love has inspired my own little love affair.
But I don't have teddy bears to dress up, and I'm not using them the way my grandma did.
Wouldn't those make a super special gift for a book lover in your life?
3. Vintage Magnets
Those are magnets I wouldn't mind having all over my fridge.
4. Shoe Clips
6. Not your typical Wreath
This is the kind of wreath that could live in your home year round. It would be gorgeous hanging on an armoire filled with linens in a hallway or master bath.
7. Jewelry Tree
On a mantle or a holiday tablescape, a couple of these trees would be stunning!
So next time you're out thrifting be sure to check out the jewelry. There are so many ways to upcycle those beautiful vintage gems.
Have you started collecting anything? Has your collection been inspired by your son or daughter? It's amazing how much my kids inspire me. I think I learn more from them than they do from me.

San Diego County agriculture officials discovered a Mediterranean fruit fly in a trap last week in Imperial Beach, and local I.B. resident Don Smith – who has a master's degree in entomology -- says he's seen no activity from county officials.
"The county has limited staff and is probably using part-time pest management employees that we used to call biological assistants, setting up traps and monitoring them," says Smith, a retired instructor from Cuyamaca College. "But Imperial Beach is not an agricultural area and only gets attention because we are so close to the entry area. The prevailing winds have a lot to do with infestations, but it's the economic threshold that determines the course of action. The value of the crop or the cost of eradication."
Even though county agricultural officials announced an aggressive campaign against the fly in Imperial Beach, on the many neighborhood trees I surveyed -- loquat, fig, orange, lemon, and lime...prime targets of the Medfly -- only one government trap was spotted.

Disclosure: post is in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Maseca. Ideas and opinion are 100% my own.
Yesterday's post included the reasons why I am so thankful to be a blogger. Today's recipe reminds me of another blessing that many of us get to enjoy and should be very thankful for: Leftovers. Yes, leftovers. Not just food but leftovers too. I can't speak for you but I bet many would agree that even before eating the thanksgiving turkey, we are already thinking about the leftovers and the yummy things we can do with them. Considering that millions don't have the same opportunity, I feel very blessed. Leftovers are definitely a sign of abundance and that is why today I give thanks for them and encourage you to reflect on this as well.
p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-spacerun: yes;">So today is Lunes Latino and too keep the leftover theme I am bringing you a recipe that is full of Latin soul and packed with Thanksgiving leftovers. Make this recipe and you will be thanking me later. The leftovers used in this banging tostata are great but the best part is the crunchy tostada base made with Maseca's instant corn masa flour. The tostada base is extremely easy to make and the reward is huge. Have you ever bought tostadas in the store? Most of them come broken so you lose more than what you get. Making them yourself will impress your friends and family and will guarantee getting perfectly round and more tasty tostadas.
Here is how you make them:
To make tostadas, you first start by making tortillas that will then be fried. Besides the corn flour, all you will need is water and a touch of salt but if you would like to enhance the flavors, add some spices too. I used garlic powder, paprika and cayenne pepper.
The dough should not be sticky nor crumbly. As you can see below, you should be able to form golf ball size dough balls to then press them into the tortilla shape. Traditionally, experts would use their hands to form the tortillas or a tortilla press, but I placed the dough balls in between two greased wax paper sheets and pressed them down with a pie pan. It works wonders!
Fry the tortilla discs in very hot oil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. They may crack on one of the sides but they should not disintegrate. The cracks are just part of the rustic homemade look.
Now that you have the base for the tostadas done, it is time to top 'em Thanksgiving style. Here is how:
- Reheat leftover cranberry sauce and season it with cumin, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Once at room temperature, spread it as the first layer of the tostada.
- Top the cranberry sauce with shredded leftover turkey.
- For the next layer use a mixture of greens and fresh cilantro.
- For the top layer add a few slices of mandarin oranges.
- Lastly drizzle the tostada with soften sour cream or Mexican crema and to make it even more festive sprinkle the tostada with pomegranate seeds.
This exact combination it is simply perfection. I am telling you, it won't disappoint so please, please try it and tell me what you think.
Happy thanksgiving! May you be thankful today and always for little things like leftovers. Enjoy!
- 1 cup maseca instant corn masa flour
- ½ cup plus 3 tablespoons water
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- With your hands, combine all ingredients to form a dough or masa.
- The dough should not be sticky, if so add a bit more corn masa flour
- If on the contrary the dough feels dry and crumbly, then add one more tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve the right consistency, which should be a soft and manageable dough.
- Form 10 balls of about the size of a golf ball
- Press them with a tortilla press or place them in between two greased wax paper sheets and use a pie pan to press down. (See image explanation above)
- Once you have your tortilla discs you could grill them in a pan for soft tortillas or you can deep fry them in very hot oil to make tostadas like I did.

Richard Sherman's appeal scheduled for Friday
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will have an appeal hearing Friday, regarding his positive test for a banned substance, according to a report
Seattle Times staff reporter
Cornerback Richard Sherman will have an appeal hearing regarding his positive test for a banned substance on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
There is no timetable for a ruling on that case, and while Schefter subsequently stated that if the test result is upheld, Sherman could be suspended immediately, the NFL generally imposes a suspension at the beginning of the week and not two days before a game.
There's no hard and fast rule on the timing of a suspension, but that is the general guideline.
Seattle's depth at cornerback remains a concern with Brandon Browner suspended through the remainder of the regular season because of a positive test result for a banned substance. Walter Thurmond and Marcus Trufant are not expected to practice Wednesday because of hamstring injuries, though Carroll said there's hope they might be available by Sunday, when the Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers.
Rookie Jeremy Lane started at right cornerback Sunday in the victory over Buffalo and second-year cornerback Byron Maxwell also played extensively. Ron Parker got time in the second half.
"They're gaining confidence," Carroll said of the younger cornerbacks. "We're seeing reason to trust them more, and it's really crucial for us that that's happening right now."

August 15, 2011
Last week, we brought you several NHL sweaters that had been re-imagined as soccer kits. We loved them. You loved them. And now Matt Pratt, a.k.a. Majupra from reddit hockey, has completed his extreme makeover for all 30 NHL teams.
"My motivation for the project was a combination of summer boredom and having been inspired by recently being exposed to the community of fantasy logo and jersey creators during the 'what will the new Winnipeg Jets logo be?' period," said Pratt in an interview on Monday.
Pratt's a 26-year-old child-care worker from Toronto who's a self-taught graphic designer. He's been an editor at the reddit hockey community for over a year and played hockey until his mid-teens when an Achilles' tendon injury shelved him.
Which teams were the biggest challenges in his re-imagining of 30 hockey teams as footy teams? Pratt said the Vancouver Canucks throwback seen above, along with the Pittsburgh Penguins' home jersey and both jerseys for the Dallas Stars.
He said he plans on doing a few more for now-defunct teams such as the Hartford Whalers and Quebec Nordiques.
Pratt's allowed us to post all 30 teams here, and you can also view them in his personal gallery.
Attention Reebok and Shop NHL: You now have 60 templates from which to turn these soccer kits into actual puckhead wear. They look awesome. They are awesome. And if nothing else, it'll give us something NHL-centric to wear during the summer. Make it so.

Aardex LLC, a full service design, development and construction firm, has received LEED Platinum certification from the United States Green Building Council for the Signature Centre.
This is the first commercial Platinum building in Colorado and, at 186,000 square feet, the largest speculative LEED Platinum project in the United States.
"Our staff outdid themselves. We are now the greenest building in Colorado," said Aardex CEO Rick Butler, whose firm developed, designed, constructed and now manages the Signature Centre.
"We received the Platinum certification and the staff achieved it at standard construction costs. We can do LEED for free."
The Signature Centre, a five story structure, features underfloor air throughout the building with individual temperature and ventilation controls.
Daylight harvesting via interior and exterior light shelving, abundant glass and individual lighting showcase the many features promoting productivity and creativity in this state-of-the-art workplace.
"Aardex is to be commended for achieving Platinum LEED certification. This facility is one that both the community and its customers can be proud of," said Rick Fedrizzi, President, CEO, Founding Chair, U.S. Green Building Council.

It's that special day each month when we digest the latest employment numbers from the Department of Labor. The economy added 80,000 nonfarm jobs in June. The unemployment rate did not budge: it's still at 8.2 percent. Investors are disappointed.
The euro has fallen to a five week low against the dollar, following this morning's jobs report.
And here's a number: 66 percent. That's German Chancellor Angela Merkel's approval rating in a new poll of Germans -- her highest rating since 2009.
Here in this country, the heatwave continues, and so do the power outages. According to regional power companies, more than 400,000 people from Ohio to Virginia have no electricity right now. Today is St. Louis is expected to exceed 100 degrees for the 9th straight day.
To Milford, Massachusetts, where a guy just paid off his mortgage with pennies. According to the Milford Daily News, Thomas Daigle went down to the bank and dropped off more than 62,000 pennies. The bank said he did a great job -- every roll of pennies was counted perfectly.
In Houston tonight, the Houston Symphony is going to be playing something a little different. Now, if that tune doesn't ring a bell...You probably haven't played an old school Nintendo in a while: It's the theme from the Nintendo game "The Legend of Zelda." The Houston Symphony is going to be playing songs from the game, while scenes from it are projected on a screen behind the orchestra. Tonight's performance was actually a late addition to the schedule after tomorrow night's sold out.
Finally, this weekend in Dallas you can catch the first-ever "Miss Conservative U.S." pageant. Contestants will exemplify, quote, "God-given personal freedoms (with limited government intrusion), morality, and a stalwart work ethic." The events include fitness wear, evening wear, and "patriot wear." ny woman who can successfully work an outfit of stars and horizontal stripes deserves an award of some sort. By the way, I couldn't find any evidence of a "Miss Liberal USA" counterpart.

Victoria Beckham showed her Victoria by Victoria Beckham diffusion line in New York yesterday, and guess who got the hottest seat on the front-row?
While she stayed backstage throughout her show on Sunday, VB bagged herself a good spot on the f-row this time round and she made sure baby Harper didn't miss out on the action either.
After treading the catwalk earlier in the week, Harper sat on her mum's lap to watch the show itself, and it she wasn't exactly in bad company. Harper took her seat in between fashion eds Jess Cartner Morley and Alexandra Shulman. We're guessing there was only praise from the newest (and youngest) style critic on the scene.
To see more from the show, take a look at highlights from Victoria's S/S 2013 below:

Review for BROOK MINISTRIES INC, Plano, TX, USA
I am a donor and have benefitted from a "Vacation With A Purpose" provided by this ministry. Such awesome work, by awesome people, in an awesome place, and I'm inspired by the reach of the ministry. My wife and I had a vacation over Valentine's Day week and The Brook arranged for two speaking engagements at churches, where I could make presentations increasing awareness of the Persecuted Church around the world. They also setup fun excursions that we were interested in. They picked us up at the airport and took care of all arrangements, including taking us back to the airport. All we had to do was show up. Impeccable attention to detail and lots of opportunities to let your Light shine. Thank you, Brook Ministries.

Husband, financial whiz, runner, grandfather. Born on Nov. 25, 1924, in Toronto; died on Dec. 26, 2013, in Toronto, of Parkinson's disease, aged 89.
Reuben Volodarsky was born in Toronto in 1924, just after his family arrived from Uman, Russia. His parents and older brother knew neither the language nor the customs of Canada, and anti-Semitism was a way of life. It was difficult for newcomers to get established and the onset of the Great Depression made it even more difficult. His family struggled, moving often, staying within their Spadina Avenue neighbourhood, but as Dad would say, "As hard as things were, we never went on relief."
Dad left school after finishing Grade 10 to help his family and worked at odd jobs until he was 18. It was the height of the Second World War and he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was stationed in Ottawa.
After the war, he became R. George Vale, keeping but not using Reuben; people routinely anglicized their names to escape prejudice. He then began his sales career, as a manufacturer's representative for several different lines of clothing. Dad was a natural and it seemed he could sell anything to anyone. It was at work that he asked out the bookkeeper, Frieda Glaser, a recent immigrant from Austria. The date turned out well and they would be happily married for 62 years.
By the time I came along, the youngest of three children, Dad was successful enough that his job was fun for him. He didn't need to worry about making his next sale to put food on the table and could work on his own schedule allowing himself time for his passions – especially the stock market.
He possessed a brilliant and encyclopedic mind, which was put to good use in his financial dealings. He read everything he could find and understood market theory fully. Dad could tell you what he paid for every stock, its current price and when its dividends were due. We would joke that he couldn't remember our birthdays, but always knew the close for Seagram. He also helped friends and relatives enrich their lives with his stock tips.
Fitness was another passion. During his working life, everything stopped at noon and he went to the Y for two hours. We would overhear him on the phone saying, "No, I can't make a one o'clock appointment, I'm already booked." He was a fixture at the gym, going six days a week and making many friends. He was tenacious and won many first-place trophies for distance running. Eventually, Parkinson's got the better of him and he had to stop going to the gym. But that wasn't the end of exercising: He took up a home program, starting with five repetitions of each exercise and building up to 27.
But Dad's greatest passion was his eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Eight grandchildren arrived in less than seven years. He delighted in their visits and took them places, the highlight being their fishing trips. Unlike his own offspring, these kids could do no wrong. They, in turn, were deeply devoted and did whatever they could to help him when he was ill.
When he celebrated his 89th birthday last November, four generations were gathered to watch him blow out the candles.
Lydia Vale is George's daughter.

Need Help: Dynamic Page
Hi there WP Forum,
I recently started code a WP Plugin for a friends blog, and now came to some kind of dead end.
Actually I have more than 1 Question (Well however the others are optional things..)
Main Question:
Is there an 'elegant' way to create a WP page with dynamic content?
With that I mean a standard WP Page basing on the chosen theme and so on, but instead of having simple html content, it should be dynamic php code, that allows the user to browse trough a folder structure, for example.
Meaning: Putting working php code into the content area of a page. Possible or not?
Not that important:
Is there any tutorial in these forums showing how to make a plugin creating it's pages? (E.g. a weather plugin creates after being activated a public page that shows live the weather of dunnowhere)?
Hope u guys can help me out or lead me onto a promising trail.
- The topic 'Need Help: Dynamic Page' is closed to new replies.

RUSSIA has cut off gas supplies to Ukraine as a payment deadline passed and negotiators failed to reach a deal on prices and unpaid bills amid continued fighting in eastern Ukraine.
The decision does not immediately affect the gas flow to Europe but could disrupt the long-term energy supply to the region if the issue is not resolved, said analysts.
Ukraine's Naftogaz company head Andriy Kobolev said Russia had cut the supply of gas but Ukraine can manage without Russian gas until December.
Loading article content
Gazprom said since Ukraine had paid nothing for the gas by yesterday, from now on the company would demand Ukraine pay in advance for any future deliveries.
Ukraine was ready to accept a compromise in talks in Kiev of paying £589 million now and more later but Russia did not accept the offer.
The gas conflict is part of a wider dispute over whether Ukraine aligns itself with Russia or with the EU and comes amid the severe crisis in relations between the two countries that has followed Russia's annexation of Crimea in March. Ukraine accuses Russia of supporting a separatist insurgency in its eastern regions, which Russia denies.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk accused Russia of deliberately blocking a gas deal to cause Kiev supply problems next winter.

- Family problems called big reason for high dropout rate (07-07-2000)
Given that just one person showed up for a recent forum to gather the public's input on the search for a new superintendent, Clark County School Board member Deanna Wright was setting a low bar for Wednesday's community meeting to address the district's dropout crisis.
"I'm hoping for 25 people," Wright said, as a modest crowd filtered into Del Sol High School's cafeteria. "It's summer, it's 5:30 on a weeknight and just before a holiday weekend. We have to be realistic."
By the time the doors closed for the 90-minute session, there were about 35 civilians in the room, and an equal number of district staff — including Superintendent Walt Rulffes. That was a good enough turnout for several administrators to flash each other a thumbs-up.
Outside the campus' main entrance, members of Del Sol's girls basketball team were selling hot dogs, chips and bottled water.
When it came to estimating turnout, coach Devin Pines had been more optimistic than Wright. There were six large bags of hot-dog buns (144 total), and two cases of snack chips, each with 50 individual bags.
The good news was the supplies had been donated, so the girls could keep the profits.
The bad news was by 7 p.m., the team had sold only eight hot dogs. Most of the $70 take came from bottled water sales.
"Thank goodness for Vegas weather," said Jasmine Louis, who plays center and will be a senior next school year.
The community meeting probably won't make much difference, said Louis, since the parents and students who need to hear the messages most probably aren't inside. Jasmine, a standout honor student, said too many parents and children "just don't care enough — why bother going to school if you can go and get a good job in a casino without a diploma?"
Pines, who also teaches Advanced Placement social studies, confirmed that it's sometimes an uphill battle. He's responsible for as many 160 students. On open house nights, Pines said he's lucky if a couple of parents trickle in.
In the cafeteria were Josefina Medina and her 15-year-old daughter Oty, who will be a junior at Chaparral High School next school year. The district sent out an automated phone call to parents letting them know about the meeting, and Medina was one of the few to answer the invitation.
When asked what most concerned her about the state of public education in Clark County, Medina paused for a moment.
"Oh, there's so many things," she said. "I think peer pressure is one of the big ones. Kids do what their friends think is cool, not what's the right thing for themselves."
And that in turn can lead to a host of wider issues, such as poor school attendance.
Oty said she occasionally skips class, but it's not for the reason most people might think. She'll sometimes skip a class in a subject where she knows she has a good grasp of the material, because it's the only time another teacher is available for extra help in a subject where Oty is struggling.
Oty said she sees her classmates get frustrated when they don't understand the material. Some teachers are better than others at coming up with another way of explaining things if a student doesn't understand the first time around.
"We need more good teachers who can teach in more than one way," Oty said.
She plans on being a doctor or a teacher. She signed up for Chaparral's free summer school to help get ahead. The first session was terrific, with the teacher combining the history of the Mayans with the required English curriculum. But the second-session geometry class, which was supposed to start this week, was abruptly canceled after funding for the program fell through. Oty said she was disappointed. The district's fee-based summer program isn't an option for her, so she's facing two empty months until the next school year starts.
"There should be more opportunities for children who want to improve," Oty said. "Not just for the children who are failing."
School Board members Wright and Chris Garvey lead a PowerPoint presentation, outlining some of the hard facts about dropouts and what programs are in place districtwide to address the issue.
In 2009, the district asked dropouts why they had quit, and the main reason was that they lacked the credits to graduate. The second most common answer was they didn't like school. Clark County's dropout rate has been on a downward trend, and stood at 4.6 percent last year. Minority students are more likely to drop out than their white classmates.
Then came the pop quiz.
Dale Erquiaga, the district's executive director of community outreach, passed out 30 hand-held electronic voting devices. Questions based on the material in the presentation flashed onto the overhead screen.
Just 35 percent of the audience recalled that the district's graduation rate had been 63.5 percent in 2006 — it's reported at 68 percent this year, a figure that is expected to drop at least 12 percentage points when a new nationwide formula is used.
The majority of the audience — 60 percent — remembered the key components to dropout prevention programs: adult advocates, rigorous academic expectations, relationships and tracking students using data systems.
And when asked how much more a high school graduate is likely to earn over a lifetime compared with a dropout, 72 percent knew the answer: $322,000.
"Just for fun," Erquiaga asked attendees to try their hand at three math questions from the state's high school proficiency exam.
Let's just say statistical measures, algebra and geometry better go on the review list.
As district staff passed out large blank sheets of paper and colored markers, the audience broke into small groups for a brainstorming session. How might the district, parents and the wider community help reduce the dropout rate?
Sandra Harrison, who came to the meeting with her husband, B.J., served as her table's stenographer. Their son, Brandon, is a junior at Coronado High School.
She carefully wrote out her tablemates' suggestions: Smaller class sizes. More remedial programs. Partnerships with local businesses. Early identification of struggling students, so they can get help before the frustration sets in and they give up.
The Harrisons got the automated phone call. They also received an electronic message via the school's ParentLink system, as well as a letter in the mail.
This is new territory for B.J. Harrison. He was an active participant in his son's academic life when Brandon was at Henderson International School, a private campus that recently announced it would be closing.
"This is our first time dealing with public school," said Harrison, who is retired from the Marine Corps. "We want to get as much information as we can, and be involved."
Asked her opinion of the event's turnout, Medina, with a worried glance toward her daughter, was succinct.
"This room," she said, looking around at the many empty tables, "should be packed."
