It's time to introduce your baby to lions and lizards. And won't you feel like an official parent when you brag that you take your child to the Zoo?
My friend Sarah gets credit for this one. "It's fun for parents, too," she says. Honestly, I think it's mostly fun for parents. Even at 12 months, Julian cannot pick the animals out of their environments with his untrained eyes. He did see a lot of running water that excited him, though.
Just like the children's museums, when you join, you get to go whenever you want all year. The Oakland Zoo membership includes free parking and a few other benefits. Also, the Zoo is a non-profit, so membership is a feel-good thing (not to mention a tax deduction). The money helps take care of the animals. Since as a mother, you now have a Responsibility to all things living, including those nasty reptiles your child will soon be fond of, this is a Good Thing.
There are all sorts of membership configurations, but in Oakland for $68 per year, two adults and up to four children can enter the zoo whenever they like.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
A new program begins Friday that could boost our economy.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says the Fed will spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds, which will make it more affordable for people to buy a home. The Fed intends to continue buying bonds until the job market substantially improves.
The Fed is under pressure to act because the U.S. economy is still growing too slowly to reduce high unemployment. The unemployment rate has topped 8 percent every month since the Great Recession officially ended more than three years ago.
The move, known as Quantitative Easing or QE, works by driving up prices, pushing down interest rates and reducing availability of bonds in the market, which forces investors to turn to corporate bonds--essentially lending money to company. In a lecture to George Washington University in March, Bernanke said that a desired outcome of QE is to push more money into the banking system, prompting banks to lend more to customers and businesses, and hopefully translating into home and auto purchases, and increased business spending, energizing the sluggish economy.
Critics of QE say the move could cause higher inflation down the road. Bernanke said the Feds are taking action to ensure inflation does not occur, but skeptics say the sale of trillions of dollars of bonds in the open market could drive up interest rates and slow, rather than accelerate, the economic recovery.
The announcement has already had a positive impact on the world stock market, sending stocks surging upward Thursday and Friday with the news.

Web site: www.runforfood.it to download the registration form
The race and the World Food Day 2010
The 5th Edition of the Run for Food race will be organized by the Athletic Association Bancari Romani (GSBR) in partnership with Food and Agriculture of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Food Programme (WFP), Bioversity International, and the FAO Staff Coop and with the support of the Comune di Roma and Nike. This year, the race will take place on Sunday, 17 October 2010 at 10.00 hours, and will consist of a five kilometre 'fun run' ( or walk) as well as a ten-kilometre competitive race through the historic centre of Rome starting and ending at the Stadium Terme di Caracalla, just outside FAO headquarters.
As in previous years, this race will take place in the framework of the World Food Day and this year the theme is "United against hunger", which was chosen to highlight with many players working together and helping each other – more food can be produced, more sustainably in the fight against world hunger and to boost agricultural investment in those regions where the poor and hungry live.
There are now almost 1 billion malnourished people in the world, meaning that almost one sixth of all humanity is suffering from hunger. On the eve of the World Summit on Food Security held at FAO in November 2009, FAO Director-General Jacques Diouf, launched an online petition to reflect the moral outrage of the situation of one billion hungry undernourished people in the world. FAO launched a petition addressed to governments to keep the issue of hunger and resources needed high on the international development agenda. This 1 Billion Hungry Project has a target of collecting one million signatures by using events, web sites, media and social media such as facebook, twitter and YouTube. between now until the third week of November where a handover ceremony will be organized at FAO Headquarters. The online petition calls upon governments to make the elimination of hunger their top priority.
With all the advances in science and technology, the world has the means to eliminate hunger but this will require the firm commitment of all sectors of society. The power of the sport can contribute to mobilize public opinion and resources towards the eradication of hunger.
This is why FAO, IFAD, WFP, Bioversity International and the FAO Staff Coop together with Comune di Roma and GSBR are joining forces to battle hunger and extreme poverty.
The symbol of the campaign is a yellow whistle, which acts as a metaphor to "sound the alarm"' of the existence of chronic hunger. On the 1billionhungry.org website, there is a counter that indicates how many people already signed the petition. Signatures can either be numeric (via the website or social media) or physical, by using signatures sheets (available on the 1BH website).
Aims of the 5th Edition of the Run for Food
1) Awareness raising on the fact that hundreds of millions of people worldwide don't get enough to eat each day and for them, hunger can lead to illness and temporary or permanent damage to their health.
2)Fund raising: the registration/inscription fees of the race will be donated to the "Fruit Trees for Haiti" TeleFood initiative of FAO.
This project is designed to bring attention to the desperate need for tree-planting in Haiti (country devastated by the earthquake on 12 January 2010) as well as providing an educational tool to aid environmental education in the country. Once mature, fruit trees also provide additional nutrition for poor children. The "Fruit Trees for Haiti" initiative builds on FAO's experience in rolling out school gardens in developing countries. Buildings surrounded by trees are also better protected from the flooding that occurs in the Haitian rainy season. Only € 3.70 donation to the initiative buys an avocado or mango tree for a Haitian school garden, and covers fertilizer and other inputs.
TeleFood Programme: FAO launched the TeleFood Programme in 1997 after the first World Food Summit as an annual campaign of awareness-raising events (broadcasts, concerts, sports) and other activities to harness the power of media, celebrities and concerned citizens to help fight hunger. Donations to TeleFood finance small, self-contained agriculture, livestock and fisheries projects that help poor families produce more food; not a penny is spent on administrative costs. Although small in scale and cost, TeleFood projects make a significant impact.
For more information: http://www.fao.org/getinvolved/telefood/en/
3) Collect signatures in the framework of the 1billionhungryproject to put pressure on the politicians for the elimination of hunger and consider the eradication of this drama as top priority in their policy. This year the registration/inscription form will contain an extra box where the participants can indicate that they also sign the petition.

Further to the first ever UN Resolution on sexual orientation and gender identity, and the subsequent report compiled by the High Commissioner for Human Rights, a panel discussion will take place on 7 March in Geneva.
On 17 June, in a ground-breaking achievement for upholding the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the Human Rights Council passed a resolution on human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity (L9/rev1), the first UN resolution ever to bring specific focus to human rights violations based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The resolution requested the High Commissioner for Human Rights to prepare a study on violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, and called for a panel discussion to be held at the 19th session to discuss the findings of the study in a constructive and transparent manner, and to consider appropriate follow-up.
The report recommends, amongst other things, that laws criminalising homosexuality be repealed, that comprehensive anti-discrimination laws be put in place which include discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and that asylum laws do not allow return of such persons to countries where their life or freedom would be at risk because of this.
Panel discussion: 7 March
The panel discussion will take place on Wednesday 7 March in Geneva, with the following panelists:
Opening remarks:
- Ms Laura Dupuy Lasserre, President of the Human Rights Council
- Mr Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary- General (Video Message)
- Ms Navi Pillay, High Commissioner for Human Rights
- Mr Abdul Minty, Permanent Representative of the Republic of South Africa
- Irina Karla Bacci (Brazil): Vice-President, National Council for LGBT Persons, Brazil
- Laurence Helfer (USA): Co-Director, Center for International and Comparative Law, Duke University, USA
- Hina Jilani (Pakistan): chair, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan; former Special Representative of the Secretary- General on human rights defenders
- Hans Ytterberg (Sweden): Chairperson of the Council of Europe Expert Committee on Discrimination on Grounds of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Difficult debate expected
International Service for Human Rights (ISHR) followed the organisational meeting ahead of the debate. They posted this report:
South Africa stated that it hoped for an open dialogue to promote understanding on this issue, but that the opinions of all participants would be respected. However, comments during the adoption of the resolution, as well as comments from both Libya and Pakistan during the organisational meeting on their lack of support for resolution 17/19, suggest that it will be a difficult debate.
Pakistan, on behalf of the OIC, 'objected strongly' to the panel, which it said had 'nothing to do with human rights'. Libya claimed that the discussion would have a negative impact on the 'survival of the human species, the economy, and the family as the basis of society', adding that if it had not been suspended from the Council at the time it would have voted against the resolution.
The President responded firmly to these interventions, noting that the Council must 'deal with all questions of human rights, without exception' and underlining non-discrimination as a 'key principle of human rights'.

Long story short: By upping the ante character-wise and creating memorable action sequences, Catching Fire is a vast improvement on the first Hunger Games film. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will remind you of: The Lord of the Flies, Battle Royale, Predator, The Truman Show, Dark City, The Running Man, The Dirty Dozen.
The second Hunger Games movie has arrived and it blows the first one out of the water. Director Francis Lawrence (no relation to Jennifer) has the pulse of the fandom. Gone are the handheld action sequences of the first film, the campy CGI crowds of Panem, the frustrating tendency to play it safe. Lawrence's sequel is just "more" and "better" in every way.

Dr. Babajide (pronounced ba-ba-ji-day) Salako is responsible at Fresenius Medical Care for handling natural disasters and pandemics.
It is a hot day and the humid tropical air lies heavy and inert on the airport landing strip in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. Just a few days earlier and no farther than 1,000 kilometers away from Miami, Florida, the earth had shaken, plunging the Caribbean country of Haiti into a profound tragedy. Now, in the glimmering midday heat, aircraft are touching down on the runway, one a minute. But instead of the usual tourists, they are bringing relief supplies from around the world. The airport's depots are bursting at the seams: Everywhere there are boxes and containers, and in the midst of them all rescue workers. Dr. Babajide Salako makes his way through the crowds of sweating people frantically running around. At his side a customs official. They rush from one depot to the other. For some time now, they have been wandering down the rows of meter-high shelves, studying the shipping labels on the containers, giving each other puzzled looks and shaking their heads.
Salako landed here yesterday on board an airplane carrying dialysis machines, bloodlines, dialyzers and drugs to the crisis region – approximately twelve tons of dialysis equipment in total, which he had managed to put together within the space of just a few days with the help of several Fresenius Medical Care employees in the U.S. He had tracked down the charter plane in Florida, at a time when the media was reporting that there was a lack of airplanes to transport the many relief consignments to Haiti. He then flew to Santo Domingo with the supplies donated by Fresenius Medical Care in the freight hold to make sure that they reached the "Doctors Without Borders" organization in Haiti. And now it seemed that these supplies had vanished without a trace.
POWERLESSNESS AND HELPLESSNESS In hindsight, it seems almost inevitable that Babajide Salako should have become responsible at Fresenius Medical Care for handling natural disasters and pandemics. After all, he grew up with crises of this type.
In Nigeria, where the rivers near Ibadan, the place he was born, regularly flooded whole villages, he experienced as a child the powerlessness and helplessness of the authorities. Salako believes that this chaos is the reason why he feels so passionate about planning today. Even as a teenager he would watch news of natural disasters around the world on television. Not out of curiosity but rather out of a serious interest in how people dealt with them. "Even back then I had the impression that the tragedy didn't only lie in the natural disasters themselves but also in the unsatisfactory manner in which people prepared for them," he says today. Salako works in the offices of Fresenius Medical Care in Washington, D.C. He speaks in a very quiet voice, almost as if he is deliberately trying to remain calm in view of the devastating topic. But his hands moving constantly back and forth from coffee mug to smart phone reveal his agitation deep down inside. Time and again, he stands up to get himself more coffee or a piece of paper, or apologizes for having to take an important phone call.
TOO LITTLE TIME Babajide Salako was also sitting in his Washington office when the International Society of Nephrology's renal disaster relief task force (RDRTF) officially asked Fresenius Medical Care for help in Haiti in January 2010. The fate of sufferers of kidney disease in large-scale disasters rarely makes headline news. They don't appear in television footage. Compared to the total number of victims, the numbers involved are for the most part small, but for these people a situation like the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is just as life-threatening as the natural disaster itself. Furthermore, survivors of such a disaster are prone to developing acute renal failure due to crush injuries, and may also need urgent dialysis care to stay alive.
The lives of dialysis patients are dependent on the infrastructure: on clinics with functioning equipment, an intact power supply, ultrapure water and deployable staff. If these clinics are destroyed, dialysis patients can't afford to wait weeks or even months until the damage has been repaired. Typically they need treatment three times a week. A lack of infrastructure, an increase in the number of patients and very little time mean only one thing for Babajide Salako: He has to act very quickly in his job. The two large screens on the wall of the conference room in his Washington, D.C. office connect him to the outside world. It was via video link that a colleague from Doctors Without Borders gave his impression of the situation in Haiti back in January 2010. Salako discussed and coordinated the upcoming activities with colleagues and key senior management personnel at Fresenius Medical Care in the U.S. Everyone was aware what needed to be done in such a situation: where to obtain machines, drugs and dialysis accessories; what was needed; where it had to be taken to. Only Salako knows how he was then able to charter an aircraft when many governments and aid organizations were bemoaning the lack of cargo planes.
ALWAYS AFFECTED A large reinsurance company recorded 950 natural disasters in 2010. 295,000 people lost their lives, economic damage was estimated at $137 BN. These figures are the most devastating in the last 25 years. "We are affected by each of these disasters somewhere and somehow," Salako responds almost casually when asked why a functioning crisis management program is so important for the Group. "Fresenius Medical Care is an international company with more than 73,000 employees and an even larger number of patients around the world," he says. Flu viruses, floods, earthquakes, hurricanes or forest fires – all of these always affect at least one dialysis clinic, its staff and patients somewhere in the world.

Interested in the history of the Irish coming to America? Look no further than The Tenement Museum in Manhattan's Lower East Side, which tells us the story of an Irish family immigrating to the United States.
At the Tenement Museum they are dedicated to preserving and interpreting the history of immigration through the personal experiences of the generations of newcomers who settled in and built their lives in the Lower East Side, America's iconic immigrant neighbourhood.
The Irish are the second largest group of people to immigrate to the United States. Throughout the Famine years nearly a million Irish people coming to America landed in New York. Upon arrival in America the Irish found it quite tough with no-one to help them, therefore settling into the lowest rung of society and waged a daily battle for survival according to the The History Place.
It was the potato famine of 1845-1851, which was one of the most severe disasters in Irish history, that initiated the greatest departure of Irish immigrants to the United States.
97 Orchard Street, Lower East Side is a really important starting point for immigrants in the neighbourhood and was home to 7,000 immigrants. By 1865/70 a quarter of the city was Irish, according to Judy Levin, Tenement Educator.
No one had lived in the building in over 50 years when the Tenement Museum found it in 1988 and they preserved what they found. The ceilings in the building were painted blue, giving the impression that the immigrants did this to make it resemble the sky as they were in such crowded and cramped apartments.
Not a lot of people know about the Irish coming to America; attending the Irish Outsiders tour at the tenement museum you are able to tour and experience the restored home of the Moore family Irish-Catholic immigrants coping with the death of a child in 1869. The tour told the story of the Moore's struggle to keep their family healthy compared to that of the Katz family who were Russian-Jewish immigrants that left their 'mark' on the building in the 1930s.
It tells the story of the Moore family having to figure out a way to live despite the very little income they earned, what they had to do to get by and how they struggled to keep their family healthy in the small living conditions they had. You will be amazed at what immigrants had to do when faced with their challenges.
Joseph and Bridget Moore moved into the 97 Orchard Street building in 1869 with their children. Bridget, a domestic maid, was only 17 years old when she got married in 1965 and a few years later immigrated to America with her husband Joseph Moore, a waiter.
65 Monk Street was their first apartment which smelled so bad that they moved to Orchard Street with their three daughters. You are told of the family's struggle to survive even when their baby daughter Agnes died from starvation. The Tenement Museum recreates the scene and you are brought into the front room of the Moore family's apartment and sad/slow music begins to play.
There a very few windows and no lighting in the apartment, there is just candles and it gets very dark. You can be a little freaked out by the music and darkness in the front room. However, this was a great experience and it just shows you how the Moore family had to live all those years ago.
After their daughter Agnes died Bridget passed away at the young age of 36 and by this time the Irish were in when the Immigration Act of 1924 was brought in.
The Lower East Side is one of the longest and oldest neighbourhoods in the city. It has long been a lower-class worker neighbourhood and often a poor and ethnically diverse section of New York. As well as Irish, Italians, Poles, Ukrainians, and other ethnic groups, it once had a sizeable German population and known as Little Germany (Klein Deutschland) and today it is a predominantly Puerto Rican and Dominican community.
While reading this article I was reminded of St. Brigid's Church build by Irish Famine immigrants in the Lower Eastside, and how close it came to being demolished a few years ago on orders from the Cardinal. Irish children who survived the Great Hunger emigrated in large numbers in the early 1860s and an estimated 63,000 joined the Union Army unon arrival in NYC. Those young Irishmen died by their thousands in a war that reuntited the dived American nation and abolished slavery. Why is it so very difficult for today's young educated, highly skilled Irish immigrants to obtain permanet visas in the country to which previous from their their nation have contributed so very much???

Remains confirmed as missing Vermont man, friend
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine The Maine medical examiners office says human remains found on an island off Kennebunkport were two boatbuilding school students who went missing in December.
Spokesman Mark Belserene said Tuesday that DNA tests confirmed the remains were 21-year-old Zachary Wells, of Burlington, Vt., and 23-year-old Prescott Wright, of Barnstable, Mass.
Wells and Wright were last seen at a late-night party at Wells home in Kennebunkport on Dec. 20. The men were students at The Landing School in Arundel.
In the ensuing search, officials found clothing belonging to the two men but didnt locate their bodies.
A local resident walking a dog discovered the remains last month on Vaughns Island, which can be reached from the mainland at low tide.MORE IN This Just InMaybe talking about life insurance isnt as bad as a root canal or as hard as talking with your...

"My latest intellectual Bosnia has been the knot of issues that's come to be known as "sustainability." In this regard, I suspect I'm not alone, especially among business people, many of whom still tend to associate these ideas with increased cost and government regulation.
The idea that "going green" could actually be profitable, a notion put forth by economists as long as 20 years ago, remains a source of skepticism in some quarters. If you still need convincing, pick up Edward Humes's excellent new book, "Force of Nature" (Harper Business, 265 pages, $27.99), the story of how the world's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, came to go green. I'll wager that you won't look at sustainability issues quite the same way again. It certainly opened my eyes."

Edward M. Reingold is the author and former maintainer of Emacs's CalendarMode and DiaryMode. He is also acknowledged in the EmacsManual as a former contributor and maintainer of TeX mode.
Reingold is the co-author of Calendrical Calculations (ISBN 0521777526 (另一個連結, 搜尋)). The Web site that accompanies the book is at calendarists.com. According to an Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) press release, "Reingold and Dershowitz came up with the idea for the first edition of Calendrical Calculations when they ran into problems developing a calendar/diary for a program called GNU Emacs."[1]
According to the book's preface,[2], academic interest in an EmacsLisp implementation of the calendar fuctions for Gregorian, Islamic, and Hebrew calendars prompted an article[3] in 1990 and a reimplementation of the source code in CommonLisp. The addition of Mayan and French Revolutionary calendars to Emacs prompted a second article[4] in 1993.

Efforts to Develop a National Biosurveillance Capability Need a National Strategy and a Designated Leader
GAO-10-645, Jun 30, 2010
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs

The U.S. government has a history of employing health surveillance to help limit malady, loss of life, and economic impact of diseases. Recent legislation and presidential directives have called for a robust and integrated biosurveillance capability; that is, the ability to provide early detection and situational awareness of potentially catastrophic biological events. The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act directed GAO to report on the state of biosurveillance and resource use in federal, state, local, and tribal governments. This report is one in a series responding to that mandate. This report addresses (1) federal efforts that support a national biosurveillance capability and (2) the extent to which mechanisms are in place to guide the development of a national biosurveillance capability. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed federal biosurveillance programs, plans, and strategies and interviewed agency officials from components of 12 federal departments with biosurveillance responsibilities.
Federal agencies with biosurveillance responsibilities--including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, and Agriculture--have taken or plan to take actions to develop the skilled personnel, training, equipment, and systems that could support a national biosurveillance capability. GAO previously reported that as the threats to national security have evolved over the past decades, so have the skills needed to prepare for and respond to those threats. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials stated that skilled personnel shortages threaten the capacity to detect potentially catastrophic biological events as they emerge in humans, animals, or plants. To address this issue, some federal agencies are planning or have taken actions to attract and maintain expertise using fellowships, incentives, and cooperative agreements. Moreover, CDC has called for the development of a national training and education framework to articulate professional roles and competencies necessary for biosurveillance. The Department of Agriculture has also developed training programs to help ensure that diseases and pests that could harm plants or animals can be identified. In addition, federal agencies have taken various actions designed to promote timely detection and situational awareness by developing (1) information sharing and analysis mechanisms, (2) laboratory networks to enhance diagnostic capacity, and (3) equipment and technologies to enhance early detection and situational awareness. While national biodefense strategies have been developed to address biological threats such as pandemic influenza, there is neither a comprehensive national strategy nor a focal point with the authority and resources to guide the effort to develop a national biosurveillance capability. For example, the National Security Council issued the National Strategy for Countering Biological Threats in November 2009. While this strategy calls for the development of a national strategy for situational awareness, it does not meet the need for a biosurveillance strategy. In addition, this strategy includes objectives that would be supported by a robust and integrated biosurveillance capability, such as obtaining timely and accurate insight on current and emerging risks, but it does not provide a framework to help identify and prioritize investments in a national biosurveillance capability. GAO previously reported that complex interagency efforts, such as developing a robust, integrated, national biosurveillance capability, could benefit from an effective national strategy and a focal point with sufficient time, responsibility, authority, and resources to lead the effort. Efforts to develop a national biosurveillance capability could benefit from a national biosurveillance strategy that guides federal agencies and other stakeholders to systematically identify risks, resources needed to address those risks, and investment priorities. Further, because the mission responsibilities and resources needed to develop a biosurveillance capability are dispersed across a number of federal agencies, efforts to develop a biosurveillance system could benefit from a focal point that provides leadership for the interagency community. GAO recommends that the Homeland Security Council direct the National Security Staff to identify, in consultation with relevant federal agencies, a focal point to lead the development of a national biosurveillance strategy to guide the capability's development. GAO provided a copy of this draft to the 12 federal departments and the National Security Staff.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: In order to help build and maintain a national biosurveillance capability--an inherently interagency enterprise--the Homeland Security Council should direct the National Security Staff to, in coordination with relevant federal agencies, establish the appropriate leadership mechanism--such as an interagency council or national biosurveillance director--to provide a focal point with authority and accountability for developing a national biosurveillance capability.
Agency Affected: Executive Office of the President: Homeland Security Council
Status: Open
Comments: When we confirm what actions the agency has taken in response to this recommendation, we will provide updated information.
Recommendation: In order to help build and maintain a national biosurveillance capability---an inherently interagency enterprise---the Homeland Security Council should direct the National Security Staff to, in coordination with relevant federal agencies, charge this focal point with the responsibility for developing, in conjunction with relevant federal agencies, a national biosurveillance strategy that: 1) defines the scope and purpose of a national capability; 2) provides goals, objectives and activities, priorities, milestones, and performance measures; 3) assesses the costs and benefits associated with supporting and building the capability and identifies the resource and investment needs, including investment priorities; 4) clarifies roles and responsibilities of leading, partnering, and supporting a national capability; and 5) articulates how the strategy is integrated with and supports other related strategies' goals, objectives, and activities.

Jamie Hanley's experience with food allergies began at 11 months old, when she took a few small bites of her mom's ravioli, broke out in severe hives and landed in the emergency room.
At first, Jamie reacted only to eggs and then later to peanuts. By the time she was 3 and half years old, the list of foods Jamie couldn't eat had ballooned to 16.
"Seemingly everything she ate was causing her to break out in hives, swelling and mild respiratory symptoms, which at times were more severe than others," said her mother, Diana.

DOWAGIAC, Mich. (AP) -- The Michigan National Guard says a roadside bombing in Afghanistan has wounded 10 of its soldiers, including one who lost part of both arms.
The guard says the soldiers injured in Sunday's attack were from the 1-126th Cavalry. The unit based in the southwestern Michigan community of Dowagiac has been serving in Afghanistan since January.
Wendy Kosch tells The Detroit News that her nephew, Eric Lund, is the soldier who lost parts of both arms. She says he's "strong" and is expected to "pull through this."
The Ludington Daily News reports Lund was a 2001 graduate of Ludington High School in West Michigan.
Detroit Free Press columnist Ron Dzwonkowski reports the soldiers were on patrol when they encountered two improvised explosive devices.

My Profile
Beau Jocque & The Zydeco Hi-Rollers
Easily the biggest zydeco star of the 1990s, Beau Jocque heralded the rise of the genre's new, urbanized style; infusing his high-octane sound with elements of rock, soul, hip-hop and even reggae, he bridged the gap between traditional Creole culture and contemporary music to create a funky, bass-heavy hybrid calculated for maximum mainstream appeal. Born Andrus Espre in Duralde, LA, in 1952, Jocque spent his early adult years working as an electrician, but in 1987 he suffered a serious back injury which left him paralyzed from the waist down for over a year; during his recovery period he picked up his father's Cajun accordion, but always bored by traditional zydeco, he set about updating the music more to his own contemporary tastes. Jocque and his wife Michelle then spent the next five years painstakingly researching zydeco clubs, discovering which kinds of songs earned the greatest response from patrons; at the same time he absorbed the music of Boozoo Chavis, drawn by his propulsive rhythms. Finally, in 1991, he formed the Zydeco Hi-Rollers; the band was an immediate smash in the New Orleans circuit, drawing huge audiences -- many of them new to the Creole dancehall scene -- captivated by their hard-edged rhythms and Jocque's primal, cavernous vocals. A friendly rivalry with Chavis also increased his notoriety, and in 1993, the Hi-Rollers debuted with Beau Jocque Boogie, one of the best-selling zydeco records of all time. Pick Up on This! followed in 1994, and a year later they released the explosive live effort Git It, Beau Jocque!, which featured the hit "Give Him Cornbread." Gonna Take You Downtown appeared in 1996, followed two years later by Check It Out, Lock It In, Crank It Up! Beau Jocque died of a heart attack on September 10, 1999; the concert album Give Him Cornbread, Live! arrived nearly a year later. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

I remember as a youngster seeing all the old folks zydecoing to this song in the church hall at the LaLa (dance) to raise money for our annual bazzar. What fun!
Pivotal artist, huge talent. His early death was a major loss to the Zydeco genre and community. I have every single album. Only wish I'd been able to see him live when he was with us.
some great times at Rock n Bowl and at Jazz Fest with Beau Jocque. Even saw him at a NOLA jazz fest in Villeneuve sur Lot France (along with Doreen's Jazz New Orleans) and others. Beau Jocque was da bomb, sadly missed.

could there be a connection
could you be, perchance, a relative of Peter Pakosh, one of the founders of Versatile? - if so, please implore someone to start manufacturing marketable versions of "Big Roy". I wouldn't mind more horsepower than what is available in my pride-and-joy 1978 Versatile 835.

But would you know how to use it ?
A little Ethanol or Biodiesel might help !!
an online visitor replied on Permalink
Peter Pakosh was my Grandfather.
I hold no sway whatsoever with the current company. My family's been out of Versatile since 1977.
A newer Big Roy would be awesome. Unfortunately I believe they would experience a lot of the same issues as back then.

The York Dispatch primary poll was conducted from Thursday, April 5, through Tuesday, April 10, using telephone interviews. This was prior to Rick Santorum dropping out of the race for president. Only people who have voted in previous primaries and are planning on voting in the upcoming primary were included in the poll. Respondents also had to be either a Democrat or a Republican.
The sample size for the poll is 400. A sample of this size has a maximum margin of error of +/-4.9 percent at the 95 percent level of confidence. This means if the population of primary voters were interviewed, their answers would be within this range of the sample s answers 95 percent of the time.
Click here to see full poll results, and look below for all of our poll coverage:
• Poll: Some voters say GOP too far right (4/17/2012)
• Poll: Voters would support Platts if he were running (4/16/2012)
• Poll: Jobs, benefits top priorities for area voters (4/16/2012)
• Poll: Reilly leads Perry in the 4th, but most voters still uncertain (4/13/2012)
• Poll: Romney up 10 points over Obama among voters in the 4th (4/13/2012)
SEE ALSO: York Dispatch Poll: Reilly leads Perry in the 4th, but most voters still uncertain
Voters in the 4th Congressional District favor Mitt Romney in the race for president, but voter preference wasn't neatly aligned with party affiliation, according to the results of a 400-voter poll of the area.
With 12.8 percent of voters undecided, Romney beat President Barack Obama 194-155, or 48.5 percent to 38.8 percent, according to a Polk-Lepson poll commissioned by The York Dispatch and released Friday.
But the numbers show Obama got 57.5 percent of the Democratic vote and the former Massachusetts governor took 68.7 percent of the Republican vote. About 25 percent of Democrats said they'd vote for Romney, and 22.4 percent of Republicans said they'd vote for Obama.
"No candidate ever gets 100 percent of the vote of their own party ... from school board to the White House," said Bob Kefauver, chairman of the Democratic Party of York County.
Loyalty: He said he was surprised by how low the party loyalty numbers are for both parties, but he believes Obama will gain support now that former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum has dropped out of the race.
"The dialogue will shift, and it will be between the president and Romney," he said. "Now the contrast will be between the two nominees. The president hasn't had much of a chance to speak on any issues directly because there wasn't one candidate."
Bob Wilson, chairman of the York County Republican Party, said the support for Romney didn't shock him.
Wilson was stumped for reasons why 22.4 percent of Republican respondents would say they'd vote for the Democratic incumbent, but he doesn't think candidate preference is ever "going to be clearly defined."
Primary: For the primary, Republican voters in the survey favored Romney for the Republican presidential nomination by 42 percent, or 90 of the 214 Republican respondents.
The poll was taken April 5-10, ending on the day Santorum announced he was suspending his campaign. The poll results do not include opinions gathered after that decision.
Santorum came in second, with 53 votes, or 24.8 percent.
The significant gulf between Romney and Santorum surprised pollster David Polk, a principal partner in Polk-Lepson and professor of behavioral sciences at York College.
"I'm somewhat taken aback by the gap between Romney and Santorum," he said. "If this is how the thing would have played out, Santorum made a very smart move getting out of the race, assuming York County is a microcosm of the state."
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, scored 17 votes, or 7.9 percent of Republicans polled. Capturing the least support was Pennsylvania native Newt Gingrich. The former speaker of the House came in last, with 6 votes, or 2.8 percent.
There were 48 voters, 22.4 percent, who were undecided.
Facing off: While Santorum couldn't have defeated Romney in the primary, he could have beaten Obama in November -- at least among the decided voters who were surveyed -- had he stayed in the race.
All voters were asked whether they would vote for Santorum or Obama if those two men opposed each other in November.
Of the 400 respondents, 12 percent (48 people) were undecided. There were 189 voters, or 47.3 percent, saying they'd vote for Santorum and 163, 40.8 percent, voting for Obama.
Again, party didn't define results.
Of the 186 Democrats, 57 said they'd vote for Santorum. Of the 214 Republicans, 55 said they'd vote for Obama.
