GM union strikes at Brazil plant for 24 hours
- Tweet
- Share this
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A Brazilian union carried out a 24-hour strike at a General Motors Co (GM.N) factory on Monday to protest dwindling output on an assembly line where workers fear for the future of 1,500 jobs.
The Metalworkers Union of Sao Jose dos Campos said in a statement that the strike had paralyzed production at the plant, near Sao Paulo, which normally produces 750 vehicles per day. But a GM executive said many employees still came into work, allowing for production at a slower pace.
"On the first shift, which is the most productive, we had enough workers to continue above half capacity" said Luiz Moan, GM's head of institutional relations in Brazil, in a telephone interview. He added that a third of workers on the second shift came in to work.
The strike raised the stakes for the car maker a day before the union meets with government officials in Brasilia, Brazil's capital, to protest what they say are imminent layoffs. The facility, like others in a country where a slowing economy has led to a glut of new vehicles in recent months, has struggled to adapt.
Because the assembly line produces older models, the company could cease their production altogether, Moan said. GM expects to make a decision by the end of July, after reviewing the month's sales data.
Last week GM ended production of one of the four vehicles it made on the assembly line. [ID:nL2E8ICD1W] Since May, about 350 of 1,500 workers on the line have accepted buyout offers.
Investments in newer vehicles that would have gone to the plant have been redirected elsewhere in Brazil, Moan said, after earlier labor negotiations stalled in Sao Jose.
The prospect of layoffs at the factory could complicate more than just labor issues for GM in Brazil: A government program to cut taxes on industrialized goods, including cars, stipulates that manufacturers maintain the size of their workforce.
But Moan said recent hiring for new production at GM's other Brazilian factories would offset any layoffs.
Still, Sao Jose dos Campos is not the only operation the company is reconsidering in Brazil.
GM put off an investment of 710 million reais ($348 million) in a transmission plant in the southern state of Santa Catarina, originally slated to start production in 2014, because of uncertainty in the European car market.
Moan said the car maker will decide by the beginning of next year if it will go ahead with the factory, which would employ 350 workers.
Automakers in Brazil idled production lines and cut output by 9 percent in the first half of 2012 after weak demand and tighter lending pushed inventories to a nearly four-year high.
Now manufacturers are watching July sales numbers to see if a June sales surge reflects a genuine recovery or a fleeting boost from government incentives.

A pair of survivors of the crash of a New York Metro-North commuter train are planning to sue the railway, according to a CNN report.
The passengers were among the approximately 150 who were on board a Metro-North train that derailed on its way to New York City from Poughkeepsie, N.Y. on Sunday morning.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has removed the union that represents commuter train drivers from its investigation of a weekend crash on New York's Metro-North railway.
The agency said it made the decision to remove the Association of Commuter Rail Employees (ACRE) from the investigation because the union's president, Anthony Bottalico, held a press conference about the accident, violating the NTSB's non-disclosure rules.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NSTB) declined to confirm reports on Tuesday that the driver of a New York Metro-North train temporarily lost focus before a fatal accident on the railway over the weekend.
NTSB Member Earl Weener said it was "premature" to make definitive statements about the condition of the driver to the Metro-North train, which investigators have said was speeding before it derailed on Sunday.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that "something is wrong" with New York's Metro-North commuter trains after the railway suffered its second high-profile accident in 2013 last weekend.
Appearing on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" show, Nadler said he had questions about the "safety culture" of the Metro-North after series of incidents that have taken place on the railway this year.

Hi, I own a DrV64Jr 512mb and i have a problem,
The PC is not even near the n64 console and i can't really move it.
The only cartridge that i have is Super Mario 64 (CIC6102) so until now
the only games that i used to play had a CIC6102 bootcode.
I recently found out that you can change that bootcode and i try to do it myself. I started with extracting the bootcode from a different CIC6102 rom and applying it to different roms which contains different CIC bootcode .
Ive try to upload the modifyed roms to my drv64 but only one of them was able to boot.. Zelda oot. I dont use bootemulator because the device need to be connected to my drv64 and i think that changing the cic is my last resort before ill buy a new PC just for using the drv64.
Does anyone know why ?

CHEF JEFF — ONE BYTE AT A TIME: Fancy Scrambled Eggs
Simple ingredients often make the best entrees.By: Herald Staff Report,
Simple ingredients often make the best entrees.
Fancy Scrambled Eggs
4 eggs
¾ teaspoon minced herbs (fresh tarragon, parsley, chives and chervil, divided
¼ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes, divided
4 slices hot toasted and buttered baguette
Freshly ground black pepper
Crack eggs into bowl. Beat briskly with fork to break them up. Beat in half herb mixture and salt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Heat nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When warm, pour in egg mixture. Stir briskly with wooden spoon, scraping bottom and sides to make sure egg doesn't set too quickly. After a couple of minutes, butter will be melted and eggs will have begun to thicken. Add remaining butter in 2 or 3 portions, continuing to stir briskly. When eggs are thick but not yet set, arrange toast on warm plates. The moment the eggs begin to set firmly, spoon them over the toast, season with just a little pepper and remaining herbs and serve.
Yield: Serves 2.

By Candice Choi The Associated Press
NEW YORK - A bankruptcy judge on Tuesday approved the sale of Twinkies to a pair of investment firms, one of which has said it hopes to have the cakes back on shelves by summer.
Hostess Brands Inc. is selling Twinkies, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and other brands to Apollo Global Management and Metropoulos & Co. for $410 million. Evan Metropoulos, a principal of the latter firm, said in an interview that he wants to have the snack cakes back on shelves by June and that the brands could benefit from new flavors and other product extensions.
"There's no mistake, we've got to move smartly, we've got to move quickly," Metropoulos said.
He also said that comedians Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis are at the top of his "wish list" for potential pitchmen. But he doesn't plan on formally approaching anyone about marketing deals until after the sale closes in coming weeks.
Metropoulos, which owns Pabst beer, has already used Ferrell in its ads. Apollo's investments include the fast-food chains Hardee's and Carl's Jr., which is known for indulgent burgers and splashy ads starring scantily clad women.
Judge Robert Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York also approved the sale of Wonder bread to Flowers Foods, which makes Tastykakes and other breads. Flowers, based in Thomasville, Ga., would also get Nature's Pride, Butternut, Home Pride and Merita as part of the $360 million deal.
Hostess has said the Justice Department is reviewing that sale.
The sale of Beefsteak to Grupo Bimbo was also approved. Grupo Bimbo makes Entenmann's cakes and Thomas' English muffins and is paying $31.9 million for the regional bread brand.
A separate hearing is scheduled for April 9 to approve the sale of Drake's cakes, which include Devil Dogs and Yodels. Hostess picked McKee Foods, the maker of Little Debbie snack cakes, as the buyer for those brands at $27.5 million.
Mark Semer, a spokesman for Metropoulos, said the firms would hire "the most qualified employees for each of our facilities, and this certainly includes many excellent, former Hostess workers."
The bakers union for Hostess, which had previously objected to the sales, said in a statement that it shared the enthusiasm exhibited by the new owners to bring Hostess brands back to shelves quickly.

Just a dosen people or so. The owners need to fix this soon before they go out of business. We used to love this place. It was one of the best clubs ever. We want it back. It is a shame they tried to do improvements but a dance floor is not an improvement in a sex club. Its a disaster. Fix it soon guys if not most members won't renew their membership.

Step 1: What you will need
1.Computer Power Supply Unit
2.Soldering Iron + Solder
3.Male Headers
4.dc adapter power jack 2.1mm
I've converted two supplies like this myself, and run arduino, raw breadboard projects, and even a Raspberry Pi off them.
Nice thing about the ATX supply, is you have access to 3.3V, which is great if you're running projects for the Pi's GPIO bus... I still haven't put together a 3.3V<-->5V level handler, so been slowly learning to run things from the 3.3V level.
73 de N0YBC
One side note, try this, it's real interesting! start-up a supply, then connect a volt meter across the various voltages, but skip the GND (Black) wires.. Yes, as example,on a supply with -5V, you can generate:
+8.3V (+3.3V, using -5V as GND)
+10V (+5V, using -5V as GND)
+15.3V (+3.3, using -12V as GND)
+18V (either +5V, or +12V and -12V or -5V as GND)
And the highest: +24V (+12V, using -12V as GND)
(the object, Not connecting the GND/Common/Black wires to anything.)
This is really interesting as know-how, but remember that a good switching psu from the Bay is very cheap, compact, and safe!

One of my dear friends I have met being abroad in Paris this semester is doing a series of interviews with artist he has met during our time in Paris, and I am his latest installment! As every part of my life, including my art, is very much inspired by this lifestyle, he asks about my diet, and i got the chance to do a little reppin' for the LFRV movement!
Hope you guys like it :)
This was my favorite line, "the tradition of Kundalini Yoga believes that not only can we not prevent ourselves from making mistakes, but that we can not stop ourselves from making the same mistake numerous times. We must continue making the same mistake until we learn the lesson that we are intended to glean from finding ourselves in the confounding situation over and over again."
Thank you!
oh, and in regards to the people...they are so confused by the whole idea that it doesn't even seem to be offensive. I made dinner for a friend and his Parisian boyfriend (who is a cook) and when he heard that we were having a "vegetarian" dinner (my friend didn't want to freak him out with any "raw" or "vegan" or "fruitarian" terminology) he asked "so there won't be any meat?" No. "none at all?" No. "so what will we be eating?" He was very confused :) ...but he loved the meal! hehe
Thank you very much :)
Jessica--I have really enjoyed being HCRV here. it is always a new challenge to relocate anywhere and learn the local ins and outs of where to get affordable, good fruit, but it was much easier in Paris than i thought it was going to be! My last blog post goes into much more detail :) Paris was the most difficult of the few other places i visited. Portugal was the best and Spain wasn't bad either! Both had much lower prices, good cherimoyas, grapes, citrus :) mmm...i went there on spring break after a long winter of trying to scrape by in Paris on less than sufficient funds to get a good variety and caloric intake from my parisien fruit...it felt so good to eat well again that i kinda blew my budget when i got back to paris; but that's ok, my body is so much happier :)
Beautiful drawings and beautiful writing as well! I <3 trees :).
Your artwork is beautiful. I am an artist as well and so it is nice to meets others that are living this lifestyle as well. I have always wanted to travel to Paris and all over Europe. How is living in Paris and traveling through Europe being a HCRV? Is it hard to find fruit everywhere?, expensive?, are the people you meet in Paris accepting of your dietary choice or do they think it is weird that you won't eat the local cuisine in restaurants?, are you more tempted there to eat cooked?
oh shoot, here it is: http://stacksanddroppers.blogspot.fr/2012/05/hannah-day-flies-over-...
Cool! You linked to the previous day's post though.

Posted 2:38 PM 11/22/2012 : Tucson family has son fighting in the Israeli Army
TUCSON - A Tucson family is keeping a close eye on the Gaza conflict in Israel. The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas seems to be holding true. That's a good sign for Ann and Bob Segal. Their 24 year old son Steven, is a member of the Israeli army.
So there's one less place setting at the Thanksgiving dinner table this evening. Ann says, "Its sad that he's not here at home with us but it's also a good time to know that he's where he wants to be."
Steven Segal graduated from Catalina Foothills High School in 2007. He's attended Northern Arizona University and Pima Community College. Now, he is a corporal serving in the infantry. He's a sharpshooter. The parents spoke with him yesterday. His dad Bob says, "He's living in a tent on the border in Gaza and there was a cold snap and he didn't have his thermal underwear he says he's doing absolutely fine."
Up until recently, rockets lit up the night sky with Israeli air strikes, and Hamas fighting back.
The Segal's say they are concerned about their son's safety but at the same time they are proud of him and proud of what he believes in, "They are fighting for democracy" says his mother.
Israel is a country smaller than Pima county with the 10th strongest army in the world.
So the question is, why is their son not fighting for this country? His father says, "I don't know the answer to that, but I think if there were a French Foreign Legion he probably would've joined that. This is quite adventuresome and he may do United States Military afterwards."
Steven may be on the other side of the world but he's not forgotten his hometown he often wears his University of Arizona basketball jersey.
The Segal's have two other adult children who are home for the Thanksgiving holiday. The Segal's say they will celebrate again when Steven comes home. He's has two more years to serve.

One of Rivel's most popular (and debateinducing) findings comes as close as youcan to putting a tangible number on the value of IR. Last year a nationally representative sample of 250 buy-side investors were surveyed, from various industries on, among other things, whether or not good IR has a meaningful impact on a firm's valuation – essentially three out of four (73%) said they believe that good IR does have an impact.
Finsia, through its Company Reporting Subcommittee, has conducted a pilot study of equity analysts to determine their views on the quality of company reporting.
This paper examines the evolution of the IRO role over the past 10 years and identifies key issues impacting on the further development of the investor relations role and practice in Australia and New Zealand.

The nation's biggest banks are going on the offensive to fend off growing efforts in Washington to rein them in.
In the wake of the latest push against the too big to fail banks, the banks are pushing back. Deborah Solomon reports on new lobbying efforts on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.
The banks have hired longtime, influential Washington hands to deflect regulatory and political pressure to strengthen their finances and to sell assets. Regulators and some lawmakers have raised concern that large banks remain "too big to fail" and could require another government bailout in the event of a new financial meltdown.

While the banks are joining forces, much of the work is being coordinated through trade groups.
Several banks and the Financial Services Forum, a top trade association, have hired Tony Fratto, a former Bush administration official, to provide what they call a "rapid response" to criticism that banks remain too large. The too big to fail notion implies that the government would have to step in and provide funding to institutions whose failure could disrupt the financial system, as it did during the 2008 financial crisis.
Regulators and lawmakers increasingly are signaling that more work is needed to lessen the risk posed by large, complex banks, including bigger capital cushions and minimum amounts of expensive long-term debt.
The moves by banks include pushing back against bipartisan legislation sponsored by Sens. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, and Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, that would sharply increase capital cushions at large banks to the point where most analysts expect firms would be forced to shrink.
Stephanie Cutter, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, and Ed Gillespie, a former Bush administration official, are providing strategic advice to Bank of America on several issues, including efforts to break up the banks. Morgan Stanley recently hired Michele Davis, a top aide to former Bush administration Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, to help bolster the firm's credibility in Washington.
The more-aggressive profile comes as the big banks that received 2008 bailout money provided under the Troubled Asset Relief Program have repaid it.
Top bank officials are trying to coordinate more closely and present a united front. On April 10, top officials from five major banks gathered for a strategy session at Bank of America's Washington office to discuss what they should do about the growing perception that big banks continue to pose a threat to financial stability, according to several people with knowledge of the session.

More quote details and news » & Co., talked about the recent surge of momentum in the too-big-to-fail debate, including where it came from and what to do about it.
The chiefs identified several catalysts, including the more than $6 billion trading loss last year by the so-called London whale at J.P. Morgan, repeated calls by some top bank regulators for a breakup of big banks and recent comments from Attorney General Eric Holder that some banks were too big to "jail," suggesting some firms are so large and interconnected that prosecuting them could harm the economy.
U.S. Bancorp's Mr. Davis, who called for the meeting, urged the other executives to join with regional and community banks in pursuing a strategy to stop the breakup efforts. A united front, he said, might be more effective in tamping down the momentum.
"If just the big banks oppose it, it will be a problem," Mr. Davis said, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
Ultimately, the CEOs rejected Mr. Davis's suggestion and decided to hand the effort over to the Financial Services Forum, which represents the CEOs of the nation's 19-largest financial institutions. In a Forum-organized meeting the next day with President Obama, a bank official briefly raised concerns about capital levels, saying that banks were under growing regulatory pressure to boost their capital cushions and cautioned it could hinder their ability to lend and affect the broader economy, according to people who attended the White House meeting.
Banks are making a similar pitch in meetings with lawmakers, telling members of Congress that every additional dollar in capital they are required to hold translates into $8 to $10 less to lend, according to industry representatives.
"One of the things we've been saying for some time is no one knows what the cumulative effects of the changes on the system are going to be," said Kenneth Bentsen Jr., acting president and CEO of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. "Some of them aren't even done, and the industry has legitimate concerns that it will be hard to make loans and raise capital for businesses."
The desire to push back has picked up urgency amid recent comments by top Federal Reserve officials that current regulatory efforts to reduce the systemic footprint of large banks may not be enough.
Yet the bank effort is somewhat hampered by disagreement among institutions and as some regional banks seek to distance themselves from their larger peers.
Two weeks ago, officials from U.S. Bancorp, Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and other banks called off a planned meeting to discuss the Fed's effort to require that companies hold minimum amounts of long-term unsecured debt after it became clear there wasn't agreement among the banks, according to people familiar with the meeting.

"The first thing he said was, 'Mom, calm down, I'm OK,'" she said.
Ware intends to return the court.
The broken leg, held together by two metal plates, will heal in eight to 12 weeks, he said.
"I will play basketball again," Ware said. "I know patience is key."
Team rallies around him
Earlier Wednesday, Ware recounted at a news conference his distress the moment his leg broke and immediate support from his teammates.
He said he was surprised to see some of them crying.
"Everybody was in real shock, and just looking around and seeing that, it was devastating," said Ware, who was using crutches Wednesday.
"But they pulled it through, and that's really most important right now," Ware said.
The injured player looked down at his body. It changed his state of mind.
"I see my bone is 6 inches out of my leg, and I go into automatic shock," he told reporters at a news conference. His foot was dangling off of his shin like a limp rag.
Faith and inspiration
Teammate Luke Hancock came over to Ware as he lay on the floor and said a prayer for him.
Ware said to himself that "I'm either going to cry ... or I'm just going to try to say some words (to help the team)." He thought of his team and put the pain behind him.
In a two-hour surgery, Ware's broken tibia was straightened and a rod was inserted into it, according to a statement from Kenneth Klein, senior associate athletic director for media relations at the university.
For the team and victory
In spite of the pain and the road to recovery ahead, Ware is still thinking of his team, not himself.
"I'll be fine, but (we've) still got to win this championship," he said.
Mr. Inspiration is ready for the Final Four, where his team is two games away from a potential national championship.
He has already made his way to Atlanta to cheer the Cardinals on in person. During his interview with CNN, he and his mother donned T-shirts with the words "Win it for Kevin."
Louisville takes on Wichita State at 6:05 p.m. ET Saturday, with the winner advancing to the national championship game Monday.

Is the TSA deadlier than the terrorists?
Rocky "demonstrates" that the TSA's backscatter x-ray screening may be "deadlier" than the terrorists — unless the terrorists succeed in blowing up an airplane every few years.
From this generally accepted statistic:
A typical dental X-ray exposes the patient to about 2 millirems of radiation. According to one widely cited estimate, exposing each of 10,000 people to one rem (that is, 1,000 millirems) of radiation will likely lead to 8 excess cancer deaths. Using our assumption of linearity, that means that exposure to the 2 millirems of a typical dental X-ray would lead an individual to have an increased risk of dying from cancer of 16 hundred-thousandths of one percent. Given that very small risk, it is easy to see why most rational people would choose to undergo dental X-rays every few years to protect their teeth.More importantly for our purposes, assuming that the radiation in a backscatter X-ray is about a hundredth the dose of a dental X-ray, we find that a backscatter X-ray increases the odds of dying from cancer by about 16 ten millionths of one percent. That suggests that for every billion passengers screened with backscatter radiation, about 16 will die from cancer as a result.
Rocky notes that the phrasing of this statement is horribly misleading!
He observes that there are 600 million airline passengers per year. Source: http://www.transtats.bts.gov/
That means an incremental 10 people will die each year from cancer due to backscatter screening. Since 9/11 (and before the backscatter technology was implemented) there were no successful terrorist attacks on US planes. If one extrapolates this trend, the statement that the TSA is more deadly than the terrorists is both bizarre and true!
However, if the terrorists successfully blow up an airplane, it simultaneously makes the backscatter look comparatively safer and the TSA look comparatively worse.
[Disclosure: This is a great illustration of how statistics can be manipulated to prove one's point -- even if the point is silly.]

Your child had a procedure called tympanoplasty, which can repair a damaged eardrum, stop infection, and improve hearing. Here's what you need to know about home care following this procedure.
Call your doctor right away if your child has any of the following:
Increased redness or swelling around the ear
Foul-smelling drainage from the ear or the incision
Persistent headache
Double vision or blurred vision
Fever above 101.0°F (38.4°C)
Expect a small amount of drainage from the ear.
Don't be alarmed if the skin of your child's outer ear is numb. This is a result of the surgery. The feeling should return within a few months.
Keep your child's head slightly elevated for the first 24 hours after going home.
Help your child to avoid anything that makes the ears pop.
Discourage your child from blowing his or her nose. Don't allow your child to hold the nose closed.
Show your child how to sneeze with the mouth open.
Allow your child to shower as necessary, starting 3 days after surgery. A tub bath is allowed as long as your child doesn't put his or her head in the water.
Keep the ear dry. You can place a cotton ball dabbed with a small amount of petroleum jelly in the outer ear to keep water out during a bath or shower.
Give your child medication exactly as directed.
Make sure your child avoids activities that involve heavy lifting and straining.
Get your doctor's permission before allowing your child to fly in a plane or before swimming.
Make follow-up appointments as directed by our staff. Your child's ear has special packing material in it. Parts of this material may need to be removed at specific times.

Hi Tamara. A couple of us TTC a boy have a question regarding Alfalfa. We are taking it to try and increase pH (I am taking 6 a day from CD1 to O) but someone read in another post that it should be only taken during O as it can lower testosterone levels? Would you please comment? Thanks!

yes, back when I was ttc (2007), we thought alfalfa was the way to go. However even though it raised pH we soon found that it lowered testoserone. but only in the long run. Taking it a few days around O should be ok. Alfalfa was removed from the list because people just didn't understand this. My dh took alfalfa around our attempt because it was the only thing that would raise is pH up to a 9

text: Young Adult Fiction--McEwan to Newton McEwan, Ian. Rose Blanche (Red Fox, 2004). During World War II, a young German schoolgirl, Rose Blanche, follows the soldiers when they arrest a boy and discovers a concentration camp in the woods. Thereafter , she takes food to the prisoners until the town is liberated. Ironically, when she travels to the camp on that day she is shot by the soldiers. The oppression of Fascism is shown through the powerful and realistic paintings. In Innocenti's large, meticulously detailed paintings, Rose Blanche is the only brightly colored individual, and her small figure is set against the drab colors of overwhelming buildings and masses of soldiers and townspeople. No skyline is shown until a radiant spring bursts forth at the site of her death after the liberation. Although the story is simply told, it will require interpretation as details such as the concentration camp are not named nor explained, and the death of Rose Blanche is implied but not stated. This is a difficult book to classify, as the text is easy enough for a young child to read alone, and it has the appearance of a picture bookbut the content of the text and illustrations is full of emotional impact and subtlety. (Lorraine Douglas, Winnipeg Public Library, Manitoba, Canada for School Library Journal) McGowen, Tom. Lonely Eagles and Buffalo Soldiers: African Americans in World War II (Franklin Watts, 1995). Comprehensive overview of African American military participation in World War II. For students in upper elementary school. Includes very good photographs. McMahon, Thomas. Principles of American Nuclear Chemistry (University of Chicago Press, 2003). What was life like for the scientists working at Los Alamos? Thomas McMahon imagines this life through the wide eyes of young Tim McLaurin, the thirteen-year-old son of an MIT physicist who, inspired by a young woman named Maryann, worked on the project. Filled with the sensuous excitement of scientific discovery and the outrageous behavior of people pushed beyond their limits, Principles of American Nuclear Chemistry is a beautifully written coming-of-age story that explores the mysterious connection between love and work, inspiration and history. Meltzer, Milton. Never to Forget: The Jews of the Holocaust (HarperTrophy, Reprint edition, 1991).Six million—a number impossible to visualize. Six million Jews were killed in Europe between the years 1933 and 1945. What can that number mean to us today? We can that number mean to us today? We are told never to forget the Holocaust, but how can we remember something so incomprehensible? We can think, not of the numbers, the statistics, but of the people. For the families torn apart, watching mothers, fathers, children disappear or be slaughtered, the numbers were agonizingly comprehensible. One. Two. Three. Often more. Here are the stories of those people, recorded in letters and diaries, and in the memories of those who survived. Seen through their eyes, the horror becomes real. We cannot deny it--and we can never forget. Meyers, Walter Dean. The Journal of Scott Pendleton Collins (Scholastic, 1999). A seventeen-year-old soldier from central Virginia records his experiences in a journal as his regiment takes part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy and subsequent battles to liberate France. Millman, Isaac. Hidden Child (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005). Isaac was seven when the Germans invaded France and his life changed forever. First his father was taken away, and then, two years later, Isaac and his mother were arrested. Hoping to save Isaac's life, his mother bribed a guard to take him to safety at a nearby hospital, where he and many other children pretended to be sick, with help from the doctors and nurses. But this proved a temporary haven. As Isaac was shuttled from city to countryside, experiencing the kindness of strangers, and sometimes their cruelty, he had to shed his Jewish identity to become Jean Devolder. But he never forgot who he really was, and he held on to the hope that after the war he would be reunited with his parents. After more than fifty years of keeping his story to himself, Isaac Millman has broken his silence to tell it in spare prose, vivid composite paintings, and family photos that survived the war. Morpurgo, Michael. Waiting for Anya (Mammoth, 2001). Like the acclaimed Number the Stars, this well-plotted novel features a young Gentile hero battling the Germans in their war against the Jews. As it opens, Jo is guarding the sheep when his dog alerts him to a bear; Jo warns the villagers in his small French town and they kill the hapless beast. The theme here prefigures the more tragic hunt for human prey, while the bear chase itself brings Jo into contact with Benjamin, the reclusive Widow Horcada's Jewish son-in-law, who is hiding in her mountain home. Separated from Anya, his daughter, Benjamin hides other Jewish children and leads them to safety in nearby Spain. Jo is soon enlisted, bringing supplies to the widow's house. Then the Germans encamp in Jo's village, observing everyone and sealing the Spanish border. Jo's concern for the Jews is measured against his reluctant awareness that the German occupiers are not uniformly evil--in fact, the villagers' relations with the Germans form the most distinctive element of the story. Although some key elements are historically improbable (chiefly, a German officer's partial rejection of Nazi principles), the adventure of the Jews' escape into Spain is both gripping and temperate. (Publisher's Weekly) Mowat, Farley. And No Birds Sang (Stackpole Books, 2004). In July 1942, Farley Mowat was an eager young infantryman bound for Europe and impatient for combat. This powerful, true account of the action he saw, fighting desperately to push the Nazis out of Italy, evokes the terrible reality of war with an honesty and clarity fiction can only imitate. In scene after unforgettable scene, he describes the agony and antic humor of the soldier's existence: the tedium of camp life, the savagery of the front, and the camaraderie shared by those who have been bloodied in battle. Nelson, Pete. Left for Dead: A Young Man's Search for Justice for the USS Indianapolis (Delacorte Books for Young Readers, Reprint edition, 2003)Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The ship sank in 14 minutes. More than 1,000 men were thrown into shark-infested waters. Those who survived the fiery sinking—some injured, many without life jackets—struggled to stay afloat in shark-infested waters as they waited for rescue. But the United States Navy did not even know they were missing. The Navy needed a scapegoat for this disaster. So it court-martialed the captain for "hazarding" his ship. The survivors of the Indianapolis knew that their captain was not to blame. For 50 years they worked to clear his name, even after his untimely death. But the navy would not budge—until an 11-year-old boy named Hunter Scott entered the picture. His history fair project on the Indianapolis soon became a crusade to restore the captain's good name and the honor of the men who served under him. Newton, William. Two-Pound Tram (Bloombury Publishing, 2003). The year was 1937, and Hitler had just walked into Austria. It was also a marvelous year for clouded yellow butterflies. Wilfred and Duncan live in a big old house in Sussex, England. They spend their days catching butterflies and dreaming of escape, and only ever see their parents on Wednesdays for lunch. When their mother elopes and their already distant father takes up with other ladies, they decide that enough is enough. And they have a plan: they will leave home, go to London, and buy a tram, decommissioned by the bus and tram company, that they have seen advertised in the paper for two pounds sterling. Soon the brothers find that their adventures have begun in earnest-as they become proprietors of an old-fashioned horse-drawn tram service, then local celebrities whose tram advertises for a seaside merchant, and finally such heroes of the war effort that they receive a visit from royalty.

Jubilarians honored for milestone anniversaries of service
At the top of the list was Lovers of the Holy Cross Sister Mary John Tuat Dinh, 80 years of religious life, followed closely by Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary Sister Gregory Naddy, 75 years.
Ten jubilarians --- nine sisters and one priest --- marked 70 years: Redemptorist Father Arthur Frost; St. Joseph of Carondelet Sisters Mary Dominic Chacon and Kathleen Marie Mahoney; Benedictine Sister Mary Bride Gormley; Providence Sisters Naomi Hurd and Mary Leona Miller; Carmelite Sister Dolores Rubio; Maryknoll Sister Pauline Mary Sticka; Society Devoted to the Sacred Heart Sister Hermine Jaschko; and Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary Sister Gabriel McCauley.
Celebrating 65 years were Salesian Brother Bruno De Pretto and Maryknoll Sister Kathleen Higgins. Another 43 religious marked 60 years, while 38 more observed 50 years.
Archbishop José Gomez presided at the event, coordinated by the Office of the Vicar for Women Religious. Concelebrants included Auxiliary Bishops Edward Clark, Thomas Curry, Alexander Salazar, Joseph Sartoris, Oscar Solis and Gerald Wilkerson.
During the Mass, the religious were invited to renew their vows "to live life following Christ in chastity, poverty and obedience." The jubilarians further committed themselves "to serve the Church in the apostolate entrusted to my institute."
In return, the assembly expressed their gratitude "for your many years of fidelity to our loving God and your service to God's holy people. May the days of your lives yield a rich harvest of God's blessings for you as you bring Christ to those whose lives you touch."
The celebration also paid tribute to religious institutes celebrating milestone anniversaries of service in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California and the United States. They included the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, 175 years of continuous service in the U.S.; the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, 160 years in California; and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, 100 years in California.
Also honored for continuous service in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles were the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians, 155 years); Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange, Maryknoll Sisters and Dominican Friars (90 years each); Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth (70); Sisters of Notre Dame (as a Province, 50); Institute of Our Lady of the Annunciation (30); and the Armenian Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and Missionary Benedictine Sisters of Tutzing (25).
The Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose were recognized for 100 years of continuous service at San Gabriel Mission Elementary School. Anniversaries of foundation included the Presentation Sisters (125 years), Poor Clare Missionary Sisters (60) and the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians (Salesian Sisters, Western Province, 25).

Hoophall Classic, Day 3
St. Patrick's and Findlay finish with drama.
by Sean Sweeney
As good a show as two of the nation's best teams put on, an extra five minutes should have been needed to decide the outcome. With the gym at Springfield College overflowing at the seems for the 2010 Spalding Hoophall Classic, St. Patrick's and Findlay Prep combined to create one of the best high school games in recent memory. With one-second left, Findlay up 71-70, St. Patrick's Kyrie Irving stepped to the line, already 30 points deep, and everyone seemed to take for granted he would make it. Had to. Needed to…this was too good of a game to simply end at regulation.
Too bad he missed.
The long rebound came to Michael Gilchrist who was unable to get a shot to the rim before time ran out. It looked like it could've, or should've been a foul. But, the zebras called it a clean block.
Before madness ensued, the refs hustled off the court with St. Patrick's head coach Kevin Boyle and senior forward Joshua Daniell chasing them out.
The Findlay one-point win will drop the Celtics of St. Patrick's out of their number one national ranking while almost assuredly bumping Northland High School into the top spot to take their place.
From the first game on Monday's slate, the anticipation was brewing. By 3 p.m., the buzz in the gym was electrifying.
"It was crazy," Findlay's star guard Cory Joseph said. "It was unbelievable. During my free throws, I could hear everybody yelling and booing. It's like St. Patrick's backyard here. We are from far away. I think the only fans we had here were my family. That was about it, so it was a crazy atmosphere."
During the first few possessions of the game, guys were jumping at everything, running into each other, the intensity spilling out all over the floor. In one of the more celebrated matchups of the season, Joseph came out extra aggressive, getting the better of the future Duke point guard, Irving, in the first quarter.
Early in the first, Joseph blew past the Celtic lead man for multiple layups at the rim, including one three point play on a change of direction and jump-stop in the lane. Irving finally got his first bucket on a beautiful reverse with his left hand on the break to cut the Findlay lead to 15-12 with less than 2 minutes to go in the first.
And just a minute later, Irving was fouled, throwing a shot up that somehow rolled in to regain the lead for the Celtics.
Joseph, who had 9 first quarter points, took no time to respond, spinning in the lane for a pull-up jumper to deadlock the score at the end of the first frame at 17-all.
"I knew I had to be aggressive and get Gilchrist in foul trouble to get him out of the game early," Joseph said of his approach. "He got a couple of nice blocks on me but I knew I just had to keep it up and hopefully my shots would fall."
Joseph was in attack mode all game long. With a style similar to Monta Ellis, he hit a number of short pull-ups in the lane if he wasn't finishing at the hoop.
After being troubled by foul trouble for most of the opening quarter, Tristan Thompson didn't score his first points until the final few minutes of the half on a nice give and go with Findlay forward Godwin Okonji. Thompson exploded down the middle of the lane for a dunk to put Findlay up 31-27.
Part of the reason the Pilots were able to hold the lead without much help from their star forward was because of an ankle injury to Gilchrist. The No. 1 junior in the nation came down awkwardly on a defender's foot in the second quarter and was limping the rest of the way.
"He really struggled walking in a dead ball situation," Findlay head coach Michael Peck said. "But, then when he got the ball in an offensive situation, he would attack pretty hard so I was a little bit confused by that."
With St. Patrick's struggling, Findlay managed to open up a 46-34 lead early in the second half. Still, a few buckets by Gilchrist, showing his special ability to contort and find the hoop in traffic, fueled a 10-0 run to close within 2.
Down the stretch, Irving just took the game over, keeping St. Patrick's close as the Pilots threatened to open it up.
At one point in the fourth, Irving scored 10 consecutive points for the Celtics, a collage of scooping layups and quick drives.
"Lets face it, Kyrie is an unbelievable player," Peck said. "He's got an unbelievable skill set and can get into the lane when he wants. You've got to account for him every second, with or without the ball."
Irving acknowledged he's willing to do whatever it takes to win.
"I try to be the most aggressive one out there and never want to be content on the floor," he said. "But, I could always do more for my team."
In the final half-minute, the two teams traded free throws before Findlay guard Nick Johnson missed a pair with less than 10 seconds left and the Pilots up 71-69. That set up a coast-to-coast drive by Irving, getting all the way to the rim for an easy layup, only to be fouled by Joseph.
Irving's first make set the stage for the final, fateful miss and a Findlay win.
"It was a great spectator game, but I would prefer it to be a little bit more lopsided," Peck said. "Nonetheless, you knew it was going to be a game like that when you have a very good team like St. Pats and the players that they do. You knew they would bring a little flurry in the second half and come at us and they did exactly that. We were fortunate our guys were able to sustain and persevere through it."
While the main event was undeniably a classic, the rest of the national matchups on Monday were a mixed bag. Realistically, nothing could have measured up to the battle between arguably the two best teams in the country.
The day's first game, billed as Texas vs. North Carolina, deteriorated into a colossal mismatch. St. Benedict's Prep floor general Myck Kabongo, headed to Texas, led a first half shooting barrage that killed any hope of a close game between Bishop O'Connell and their 6-4 guard Kendall Marshall, signed to UNC.
With Bishop O'Connell starting the game in a zone, Kabongo repeatedly found open shooters for threes, from Mike Poole to Aaron Brown to even big man Gil Biruta. As a team, St. Benedict's was 8-14 from deep in the first half.
At one point midway through the first quarter, the Grey Bees of St. Benedict's led 20-3.
"We have set plays for the zone so we know exactly what to do when we see it," Kabongo said. "We are never surprised. We work on this stuff at practice. Those things are from Coach. Coach gets us prepared for these kinds of things. We don't panic because we know exactly what to do when we see it. We got open shots and we hit them."
Kabongo showed poise and was in control throughout. While Marshall faced a wall of defenders whenever he got into the lane and was forced into a few tough drop offs to teammates, Kabongo kept his defenders at bay with a nice mix of floaters, passes at the rim and as well as jumpers. Obviously inspired by the opposing future Tar Heel, he just played at a different level.
"I took it personally (the matchup with Marshall)," he said. "Anytime I see someone who is highly-touted, I kind of go for his head. I think that's what I did, caused a couple of turnovers here and there.
"I came out on top because I won the game. I don't care about the stats. My team got the 'W.' We have a goal to be number one in the country."
On the other side, O'Connell committed 12 first-half turnovers and struggled to get their star any openings against an intense defensive commitment by St. Benedict's.
In the second half, St. Benedict's responded to any push O'Connell made. While Marshall (14 points) and 6-5 junior Jordan Burgess (20 points, 8 rebounds) played much better, it wasn't enough to make up the deficit.
Kabongo was the obvious star with 20 points, 12 assists and 6 rebounds in the 72-52 win. But, he received support from Temple-bound Brown (14 points) and athletic four man, Biruta (16 points, 7 rebounds). Brown noted their unselfishness is a huge part of their success.
"We like to share the ball," he said. "We don't look like a selfish team where we have just one guy. Everybody on our team can score. We are one of the deepest teams so we just keep the ball and try to get everybody a touch."
The next game pitted perennial power Bob Hurley's St. Anthony's of New Jersey against Los Angeles' Westchester High School. Westchester's Kareem Jamar aptly titled it: "East Coast vs. West Coast." A stereotyped contrast in style—Hurley's Friars with their rugged, physical defense against the long, wiry athletes from Tinseltown—never materialized. In fact, it was the suffocating defense of Westchester that ultimately wore St. Anthony's out.
Westchester 55-51, mark one down for the West.
"It was fun (coming out here)," said Jamar, the game's MVP with 17 points and 6 rebounds "It was exciting, being sort of east coast and west coast. We wanted to come out and try to send a message. They say we are soft so hopefully we sent a message."
Hurley certainly took notice.
"(After the early minutes), every play the rest of the game where an athletic play needed to be made, they made it," he said. "They were deflating. That's the difference between the aggression and athleticism they showed and us being tentative."
St. Anthony's took a 23-17 second quarter lead and it felt like just another game where that famous Hurley defense was taking over. But, the Friars failed to open it up, their offense falling apart in the middle quarters.
After putting up 19 points in the first 8 minutes, the Friars scored just 15 in the next two quarters combined. That left the opening Westchester needed to take control.
Trailing for most of the second half, St. Anthony's finally came back to tie it up at 46 after a three-point play by senior Derrick Williams, who is going to Richmond. But, the deciding sequence of the game came just 15 seconds later when Westchester's Dwayne Polee pinned Williams' next shot. The block yielded a fast break, eventually turning into a three-point play for Jamar.
With less than a minute to play, Jamar effectively ended it with an up-and-under reverse to put Westchester up 52-46. He scored 8 of his 17 in the final two minutes to knockout St. Anthony's.
The 6-6 Williams was the lone bright spot for the Friars in the second half, rumbling his way to 22 points and 7 rebounds. Still, one stat told the whole story: While St. Anthony's shot 61 percent in the first half, that figure dropped to 42 in the second.
In the nightcap, Mater Dei unleashed their long-range arsenal to down DeMatha Catholic, 79-71. UCLA commit Tyler Lamb of Mater Dei was all over the court, displaying the great potential he has as a 6-5-wing player. He filled up the box score with 23 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, as well as 3 steals and blocks each.
Lamb took care of the floor game so his teammates could let loose from deep. Senior Gary Franklin, committed to California, hit a team-high 4 threes for 17 points, including 2 consecutive back breakers to push their lead to 9 with under five minutes left.
Role players like Max Hooper and Katin Reinhardt also did their part, combining for 6 more triples.
After shooting just 34 percent in the first half, DeMatha played from behind virtually the whole way. While dunk contest winner Victor Oladipo's 16 points and 15 rebounds capped off a nice weekend for him, the lack of offensive playmakers hurt DeMatha.
Quinn Cook, Dematha's best offensive player, rebounded from a miserable first half to finish with 23 points, but needed 24 shots to do so. And Mater Dei's 12 threes countered any run DeMatha made.
Mater Dei's 79-71 win also gave head coach Gary McKnight a California state record with his 844
At the conclusion of the tournament, CoachesAid.com announced Findlay Prep's senior Cory Joseph was given the event's Most Outstanding Player Award after leading Findlay to a win with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 dimes in one of the biggest high school games of the year.
Half Hollow Hills West Tobias Harris, St. Benedict's Myck Kabongo, St. Patrick's Kyrie Irving and Winter Park's Austin Rivers joined the MOP on the All-Tournament First Team, voted on by media members.
