EL CENTRO, CA - One local school district says their school budget has been cut in half since 2007 and it may be cut even more.
El Centro Elementary School District Superintendent, Robert Pletka, says school budget cuts are far from over.
California Governor Jerry Brown has introduced a proposition that will increase sales tax and taxes for the wealthy to provide aid to public education.
However, the future of the proposition will be in the hands of voters when they hit the polls in November.
Until then, Pletka says they have to plan ahead because the school year starts in July and if the proposition does not pass, they have to be ready for more cuts.
He says they've reached out to a consultant to give the district suggestions on how to balance their budget.
Pletka says the biggest cuts will be in faculty and staff.
He says currently, there is about 30-35 students per teacher in his district.
Even if the proposition passes, he says, they will only get 20 cents on the dollar; which according to Pletka is not enough.

John Howard Slams Siyar Bahadurzada At UFC 168 Video.
Bruno, why you posting just highlights and results? Sorry, brah, but you spoiling it cuz we can't watch the entire fight.

Oh, okay, sorry bro. Didn't watch any of those postings cuz I didn't want to know. Thanks for all you do, man!
Bruno: No problem. Some people just ask for these.

OneGeology Wants to Be Geological Equivalent of Google Maps
There's lots of free geographical data about what's going on at the surface of our planet. It's a different story for what going on underneath though. OneGeology aims to be the solution to that problem.
OneGeology is an international initiative of the geological surveys of the world and a flagship project of the 'International Year of Planet Earth'. Its aim is to create dynamic geological map data of the world available via the web. This will create a focus for accessing geological information for everyone.
I've never been one for the geology, but if the data (and interactive maps) were easily accessible, there certainly would be a peak in interest.
[via msnbc | Thanks, Samantha]

Lindsay Lohan's attorney predicts there will be no case against the actress in connection with an alleged fight at a Manhattan nightclub.
Attorney Mark Jay Heller spoke after signing paperwork at the courthouse Monday.
Office of Court Administration spokesman David Bookstaver confirmed that a criminal complaint has not been drawn up at this time. The district attorney's office said only that the investigation is continuing.
Lohan was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault in the Nov. 29 incident at the club Avenue.
The "Mean Girls" and "Liz and Dick" star allegedly struck a woman in the face during an argument.
At the time of her arrest, her attorney, Heller said Lohan was "a victim of someone trying to capture their 15 minutes of fame."
In September, she was involved in an NYPD investigation after alleging a man assaulted her in a hotel. Charges against the man were later dropped.
Her films include "Liz and Dick" and "The Canyons."

New Release - Seabright #Lor
Welcome to the totally tropical sound of Seabright.
After a tip off at lor's headquarters we have been knee deep in Seabright's swanky synths and skittering, solid beats. As they swirl and chime, far off guitars and bitter-sweet vocal stylings sigh and stutter, creating a contemporary sound that feels like fond regrets, recalled in the pleasant warmth of the California sun.
This is a real gem from his collection , he is now on is third album after self releasing them all from his San Jose residence. <3
Seabright's albums can be purchased from here -> seabright.bandcamp.com

Love Our Records presents Bitmap's Robots Of The World, Unite!…
That kettle in the corner, the vacuum cleaner in the cupboard. The tv remote laying there so innocently. Think of them as a shrew would be to a human. Evolution happens quickly in an electronic world, and as sure as the shrew would one day become a thinking, reasoning ape, the electronics and simple machines of today will follow their own evolutionary path. They will follow it to the logical conclusion and we will become the shrew.
A rallying call to our inevitable mechanical overlords, Robots Of The World, Unite! is a song from British lo-fi scientist, Bitmap.
This track is from 'Black Arts In The Town Hall' ep which can be bought for a pound on cd! recordmountain.bandcamp.com/album/black…e-town-hall
Nice Bonobo Vid!!
Great video from Ninja Tunes Bonobo and the track Cirrus is free from http://www.bonobomusic.com/ so grab it!! <3

Obama: High-tech Automaking Creates Jobs
August 11, 2011 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
HOLLAND, Mich., Aug. 11 (UPI) — New auto technologies will create jobs and help automakers meet higher mileage requirements and lessen U.S. dependence on foreign oil, the White House said.
Technological advances, combined with new mandates requiring automakers to bring their average fuel mileage for passenger cars to 55.4 miles per gallon by 2025 from the current 27 mpg mandate, "represent the largest single step our nation has ever taken to reduce our dependence on oil," Heather Zichal, who coordinates the administration's energy and climate policy, told reporters ahead of a trip by President Barack Obama Thursday to Holland, Mich., to tour a Johnson Controls Inc. advanced battery facility.
"This facility just emphasizes the administration's commitment both to job creation and investment in clean-energy technologies," Zichal said.
"Because of the critical investment we have made and because of innovative companies like Johnson Controls, the United States will soon have the ability to produce enough batteries to support 500,000 plug-in and hybrid vehicles," she said.
Obama, who made similar remarks July 29 when he announced the 55.4 mpg fuel-efficiency standards for light-duty vehicles, was expected to deliver remarks at 2:40 p.m. EDT highlighting "the key role innovative technologies will play in helping automakers achieve the historic fuel-economy standards, establishing U.S. leadership in advanced vehicle manufacturing, spurring economic growth and creating high-quality domestic jobs in cutting-edge industries across America," the White House said late Wednesday.
Obama visited Interstate Moving Services in Springfield, Va., Tuesday to announce the final fuel-efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles such as work trucks, buses, garbage trucks and heavier vehicles.
Big tractor-trailer trucks, for instance, will have to get 20 percent more miles per gallon by the 2018 model year under the first-ever fuel economy rules for heavy vehicles.
Total benefits, including less time spent refueling and lower global-warming emissions, were expected to exceed the projected costs of $8 billion by $49 billion over the trucks' lifetime, the Environmental Protection Agency said.
The rules will save about 500 million barrels of oil over the vehicles' life, the administration said.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the Tuesday and Thursday events "highlight this administration's ongoing commitment to saving families and American businesses money at the pump, slashing our dependence on oil and creating cutting-edge jobs."
Obama has called for getting 1 million plug-in electric hybrids on U.S. roadways by 2015, The Detroit News reported.
Congress created a $25 billion advanced-technology vehicles manufacturing loan program in 2008 to help U.S. automakers make vehicles that meet higher-mileage requirements and lessen U.S. dependence on foreign oil.
Obama plans to travel around the Midwest for three days next week on an "economic bus tour," the White House said.

Description of Research
Summary Statement of Research Interests
|Broadly speaking, my research interests are centered around a structural analysis of the interactions between neural circuits subserving motivation and other cognitive influences on the selection and initiation of goal-directed behavior. Goal-directed behaviors, such as eating and drinking, are initiated primarily by physiological deficits, conveyed by viscerosensory stimuli. Thus as a class they are initiated by relatively discrete signals that reflect the goal-object. Moreover, the incentive to obtain the associated goal increases with increasing deficit and thus reflects the motivational state. However, 'motivation' is difficult to define operationally and the circuits that relate specific sensory stimuli to particular somatomotor responses are poorly understood for complex behaviors such as these. What is known is that these elements converge in the corpus striatum, the input structure of the basal ganglia. In fact, all aspects of brain function are represented in the basal ganglia in that the striatum receives a topographic input from the entire cortical mantle. A role for the basal ganglia in the control of individual movements (as opposed to integrated behaviors) is clear, as evidenced by the profound deficits associated with Parkinson's disease. However, it is also clear that there are multiple circuits within the basal ganglia, one of which is defined by the sensorimotor cortical inputs, and another by 'limbic' cortical regions that are associated with cognitive and visceral-sensorimotor (but not somatomotor) functions. In addition, a functional dissociation is indicated by predominantly cognitive deficits associated with pathology within this part of the basal ganglia. The organization of these circuits are thought to be fundamentally similar. That is, striatal regions are defined by inputs from functionally related cortical areas. These regions then project in parallel to the pallidum, and remain segregated in the projection to the thalamus and return to cortex, each to the cortical area of origin. The immediate implication is that cortical information, regardless of type or modality, is all processed in the same way. Furthermore, it is difficult to reconcile a segregated organization with the integration and coordination necessary for the expression of goal-directed behavior. One potential explanation is that it has been technically impossible to demonstrate this sequence of connections, and thus this organization, directly with currently available methods. For my research, I have developed a circuit-tracing method to directly visualize multiple, sequentially connected brain regions. This method is both a technical innovation and conceptual approach that provides detailed information about specific sets of connections that can be systematically expanded to build more complete descriptions of the extended circuit. Thus, my research experiments involve structural investigation of basal ganglia circuitry, to better understand the organization of the 'limbic' circuit and its interaction with other basal ganglia circuits. This is a necessary step if basal ganglia function is ever to be understood as a system, rather than a conglomeration of its parts. This approach is also provides insight into the organization of the connections of the basal ganglia circuits to other systems as well. This will provide a better understanding how 'global' functions like motivation and attention are applied to circuits mediating specific behaviors such as eating and drinking. This process of determining the organization of the component circuits, demonstrating the structural basis for the interactions between circuits to form systems and interactions across systems that are a constitutive part of overt behavior, we can eventually move beyond our understanding of the brain as a collection of autonomous functions and see how the brain functions as a unified whole.

well, nondescript except for the MASSIVE PROGAMER SIGNATURES scrawled across it!
i said…
Went out to eat the entire time, but made up with it by running 14 miles. Which is a lot of calories burned.
No weight measurement today.
Ran 10 miles for training at 5mph which is a little over 1000 calories burned but then I ate a large serving of pasta.
Down: .25 lbs
To Go: 19.75
Marathon date : October 30th.
Goal this semester is to loose 20-30 pounds.
I'll be tracking it the entire way and posting thinspo as I go.
Here is my tummy as of today from the front
And from the side
This need to be gone.
I'll also be posting diet tips and progress pics. Oh and Marathon training stuff.

As a West Point graduate, a veteran, and the son of a World War II veteran, Robert McDonald may finally bring to VA the corporate credentials necessary to embrace the values, sensibilities, and 21st-century business acumen necessary to unmire an agency sunk to its axles in the mud of lies, subterfuge, management failure, and whistleblower suppression.
There is a deep and urgent need for Americans to understand that the current problems within certain VA facilities are not rampant and system-wide. And I would bet my life that the nurses and staff at the centers being investigated carry out their duties with the same compassion and caring that my father-in-law is receiving at this very moment.
