The Transportation Sustainability Program (TSP) was created to better support the City's longstanding Transit First policy by modifying the City's practices relative to development review.
The TSP plans to achieve this through the following two initiatives:
changing how we evaluate the effects of new development on the transportation system - emphasizing all modes of transportation - under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
establishing a citywide Transportation Sustainability Fee (TSF) to offset the cumulative impacts of projects on the City's transportation network.
These initiatives ensure that development review practices are consistent with the City's policies and priorities, and that a development's impact on San Francisco's transportation system is fully offset through system improvements.
Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), development projects being proposed must undergo environmental review.
Currently, the primary way that a project's environmental effects on the transportation system are determined is by using a measure called Automobile Level of Service (LOS), which measures automobile delay at certain intersections or roadway segments. As a result, the environmental mitigations proposed to offset impacts identified using LOS are focused on improving automobile throughput. This is often infeasible in a dense, urban environment such as San Francisco. Oftentimes these mitigations are also in contradiction to the City's Transit First and other multimodal policies and priorities.
The Transit First policy recognizes the need to support all modes of transportation - like cars, buses, bikes and walking - to safely and effectively move people and things around the City.
By eliminating Level of Service and replacing it with a measure that takes all modes of transportation into consideration, the environmental review can accurately assess how a new development project affects the entire transportation system and can result in mitigations that support the entire transportation system, including transit, bikes, and pedestrians.
The City is currently preparing an Environment Impact Report (EIR) on the TSP. That EIR will analyze twenty years of projected development and its cumulative impact on transportation system performance. Once this analysis is completed and the program is adopted, individual development projects will no longer be required to conduct cumulative transportation studies as part their environmental review, because those effects will already be known. And, by paying the Transportation Sustainability Fee, projects will mitigate their cumulative effects on the transportation system.
The TSP proposes introducing a Transportation Sustainability Fee to help establish a means by which development projects can mitigate their impacts on the system.
The proposed fee would supplement existing local transportation funding sources and would fund a $1.4 billion expenditure program, over twenty years, shown to directly offset the impacts on the transportation system made by new development.
The TSF would replace or be a credit against payment of existing transit-related development fees like the Transit Impact Development Fee (TIDF) and the Community Infrastructure Impact Fees (if applicable) in order to avoid double charging for transit impacts of new development. The TSF would apply to all land uses, except for single-family homes.
The TSP is the first program in San Francisco which integrates impact fees with the CEQA process such that paying the impact fee means that a project is mitigating its environmental impacts.
The proposed TSF includes a Policy Credits program to support desirable programs and/or policy outcomes by providing a reduction to or waiver from the fee. There is $40 million in Policy Credits available over a twenty year period. The following types of projects are eligible for fee waivers or reductions under the Policy Credits program:
The TSF is anticipated to generate $630 million over twenty years. That revenue will be used to leverage an additional $820 million in other local, state, and federal transportation revenues to fund a $1.4 billion expenditure program.
This will fund a set of highly-efficient and cost-effective improvements to the transportation system which will offset the impact of twenty years of development activity on that system. The program will focus on initiatives which show the greatest positive impact on transportation system performance.
The TIDF is an existing impact fee on nonresidential development which, in the absence of an approved TSF, serves as the City's primary mechanism to offset development's impacts on the City's transit system.
Fee rates under the TIDF have not been updated since 2004. In the past eight years, the cost to offset development's impacts on the transit system have increased, and an ordinance adjusting TIDF rates to better address those impacts was introduced at the Board of Supervisors on May 15, 2012. A nexus study supporting a change in the TIDF rates was also introduced on May 15, 2012. Both items are under consideration by the Board of Supervisors and will be heard by the Planning Commission this summer.
The Transportation Sustainability Program is a joint effort between the San Francisco Planning, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency.

The entire Christian religion is based around the idea of sin, repayment, and forgiveness. A lot of this hinges on the original sin, which gives an explanation as to why we have free will and are sinners.
But the original sin is a contradiction in itself. The bible states that once Adam and Eve ate from the tree, "then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loinclothes for themselves." Another account says, "see, now the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil".
If man did not know what good and evil were before committing the sin, then man could not possibly be at fault. The accounts could even be interpreted as suggesting that we did not have free will in the Garden of Eden, which would mean that the sin was God's.
And that's just in the first chapter of the bible!

Were those 2 bucks found dead with there racks stuck together or what? I did hear of 2 elk that died that way the land owner wouldnt let the fish and game on his land so they could free them this happened a few years ago.Thats a bad way too die poor elk.If it was me and I could not have got them apart i would have cut the horns it easy as that we do it too cows all the time. anyway nice pics..
Posted 24 March 2006 - 01:43 PM
One was dead, the other near death. As I understand it he called the Fish and Game and got them to come and look. They issued him another permit so he could keep both. Apparently someone paid the guy for the right to have the animals mounted and keep the mounts.

San Antonio police believe the teenage driver involved in a crash that left a Brandeis High School student dead may have been street racing.
Officer Matt Porter says the fatal wreck occured during lunchtime Tuesday on Loop 1604 near Hausman Road .
He says the driver of a pickup was attempting to make a left turn when it was struck by one of the cars.
"We believe that the driver of that car may have been racing," said Porter.
Seventeen-year-old Gabriella Lerma, a passenger in that vehicle, was flown to University Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival. The driver and two other passengers, all students at Brandeis, were transported by ambulance.
The driver of the pickup also was transported to a hospital with injuries suffered in the crash.
Meanwhile, the search continues for the other car that may have been involved in street racing.
"We are cooperating with the San Antonio Police Department as they investigate allegations of racing that may have been a contributing factor to this accident," said Gonzales.

I love this item. We just gave this to our son for his 4th birthday and he loves it. He really likes the pet pad game and drawing the letters to make the monkey do different things. He laughs at all of them. I love that he is learning while playing and I will sit with him and go through the games with him. It didn't take him very long to figure out how to use it either. My parents gave him the Mr. Pencil game and he seems to like that pretty well too. The built in camera is great. He has been taking pictures like crazy and having fun drawing on them.One of the problems I had was when I first downloaded the apps the camera stopped working so I found out from someone else's review on another site how to fix it. I guess it's a common problem. If you have the problem you just:Click on the leapfrog icon on your computerTurn the leapster on and connect to the computer When your child's icon pops up click goIn the upper right corner click on settings and then repair.Other then that and the batteries not lasting it's a great product and learning tool. I will be investing in rechargeable batteries. The other suggestion I have is that the battery compartment can be hard to open so follow the instructions on that and use both thumbs and press downward. I struggled with it until I read that on the directions.Overall though we love it.

My children own tons of LeapFrog toys and games. We love that LeapFrog is educational but fun! That being said, we were really excited when Great Grandma bought our boys LeapFrog Leapsters for Christmas. We knew being a previous owner of the LeapPad 1, set can take a long time in the eyes of a little one... so we took the time to set up the toy in advance. WELL, it took up nearly 30 minutes to get the battery door off the back of the unit. I tried. My husband tried. It was ridiculous. We pulled and tugged. Nothing. It wasn't until we got a mini pocket knife keychain thing-a-ma-jig and slipped the knife straight down but lined up with the arrows were we able to get the doors open. I am glad that we took the time on Christmas Eve to play with this because our kids would have been gravely disappointed otherwise had they had to wait. Besides the door, I know the product will be worthwhile. I'll be sure to update my review if my opinion should change! LeapFrog, please fix the door!!! (And by the way, we did have two units so I don't think it was a defective product unless I was lucky enough to get two of them!)

I bought this as an upgrade from my son's leapster. I was happy to find out that the Leap Pad Ultra games can be used on the GS Leapster Explorer. My son loves this new system. He calls it his game boy. I love that the games are education and fun at the same time. So my son is learning and having fun.

About Me Casual Gamer
My almost 8, 6, and almost 5 year old boy love this system. There are games that are appropriate for each of their ages and interests. The only problem I have with this toy is that the stylus is on the right side, making it challenging for my left-handed son.
Great Buy

About Me Gaming Novice
The product is awesome, the only thing is that I think the makers of these games should invest or create a screen that is made out of plastic all the way thru. My son is 7 & has Autism, he loves the game, but if something sets him off, he his the game & the first thing that happens is the screen cracks. Otherwise it is very educational, it keeps him occupied & he is learning at the same time, whether it be reading, math, spelling or language arts. Awesome toy.

Hard to install batteries
By Nancy
from Birmingham, AL
I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter, who loves playing games on her mommy's Iphone. First off it was incredibly hard to slide the cover off to install the batteries. I almost returned it for this reason. The games I bought were Bubble Guppies, Doc McStuffin and Monsters U. Pre-K level games. Some features of them were still too hard for her, which surprised me because she is very savvy with the Iphone games. Maybe it's the stylus and small motor coordination. She seems to like the LeapsterGS though.
Absolutely love it!
By Cha-Cha the other grand mom
from Suitland, MD
This product was purchased for my great niece, she is 3 years old. She picked this product herself and was determined this was what she wanted. I thought it would be too advanced for her but to my surprise she is working this product as if she is 6 years old. I highly recommend this product, it is user friendly for the little people.
Must-have for kids

This is a gift for my younger grddtr. My 7 yr. grddtr. has had hers for a year or more and it is with her constantly - she never tires of it. It does everything - camera, video, movies, games - I don't even know all myself. I have no negative comments at all about it. Your child will love it!
Love the GS!
By TeacherMomof2
from Northeast Wisconsin
We have the previous leapster explorer and also the gs! Both of these products are played frequently by our children (currently 6 and 4). The gs was purchased for our son when he was 3 and a year later it is still a hit! Although both are excellent products, the gs has a new look and some upgraded features like a camera, motion sensors, slightly larger screen, and better cord placement for ac plug (sold separately). If I were to buy another, I would go with the gs because of the additional features and the addition of games playable on the gs but not the original explorer. They love making stories using pictures they took themselves. We have a variety of games that are fun and challenging. As parents, we love the educational focus. It is great to see them so engaged and having fun while learning!

Wow, what a great review. I do love writing in this universe.

Author's Response: Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful encouragement. I am actively pursuing my writing career right now and that is what has kept me away from fandom.

omg, words can not describe how much i love these stories... you totally took an awsome twist on everything, but stayed true to the characters!!! i was totally enthrawled by everytinng, jumped and twisted with every chapter, and cryed over and over again. and for the past few days after reading the last chapter, i walked around with a stupid grin on my face. i dont think ive ever read a fanfic this good.... i love it i love it i love it!!! please, right another one, or i think i might die! ;) thank you for creating this

Another amazing story. Your work really stands out among the fan fic that I have read. Although I like H/G, I find that in most R/Hr-centric fics we see H/G being the heroes with the perfect life trying to help dysfunctional R/Hr. I loved that in this one we see R/Hr working together to help the Potters, at the same time their own issues are still there.
You are really good at capturing emotions, and the dialogue is just perfection! Love the relationship with the trio as well. Your Ron and Hermione are wonderful and I absolutely loved your spot-on in characterizations. Your characters are multi-dimensional, very real, and so relatable. Great job!!
Off to read more of your stuff…….

Now I must be off and find an energy drink if I want to get through today.
Author's Response: Oh Gosh! Thank you! I really am gobsmacked that you stayed up all night reading my book but if you had to choose...stay up all night for JKR! So load up on energy drink, splash water on your face...do what you have to do to stay up tonight! Again, thank you for the review and the lovely complement!

EDMONTON - An Edmonton-area businesswoman has attracted a flood of interest in the sexy, Latin-inspired, Colombian-made jeans she designs and sells at her shop in St. Albert after wowing the entrepreneurs of Dragons' Den earlier this month.
Nora Furber's Monjeloco jeans with "lift-the-bum" technology kicked off the season-opening episode of the popular TV show, prompting orders from across the country, she says.
"By the next morning (after the show aired) when I came to the store, we had 455 emails from people that wanted to buy. It was unbelievable," she says.
Her e-commerce site, which was already in the works, was up and running the next day. It offers 11 different styles of skinny, straight and flared jeans.
The jeans, called "levanta cola" in Spanish (literally, lift the bum), are designed to emphasize curves, something Latin women have long embraced, says Furber.
"It's about enhancing the hips, not hiding them," she explains. "Look at Jennifer Lopez, look at Hollywood — Sophia Vergara and Shakira. So I thought the time was perfect."
Furber opened her small retail shop in downtown St. Albert (#103 20 Perron St.) about a year ago. She sells other clothing as well, but her main focus is squarely on the butt —making it look good in jeans.
Customers have been incredibly receptive to the Colombian style, she says. "I don't have to convince them. The young girls, they come here and they say, 'I want to look like Jennifer Lopez.'"
She carries sizes 6 to 20 and says the jeans flatter all body types. Flat bums look higher and rounder; big bums appear more compact and firm. A wider waistband flattens the stomach.
"They work like a corset so they really tuck the belly in," she adds.
"So the secret's out — it's not really that they (Latin women) have amazing butts — it's the jeans," she says with a laugh.
Even the skeptical entrepreneurs of the Dragons' Den were impressed with Furber's jeans, in part, because she brought along two models who demonstrated the difference between conventional jeans and Monjeloco jeans.
"We have a national crisis," Furber explains at the start of the segment with a smile. "Flat bums."
The Dragons even seemed prepared to invest as a group at one point, but thought her company's valuation was too high. Furber says they have expressed interest in following up with her on a future show.
Furber moved here from Colombia 30 years ago, at the age of 21. While she dreamed of opening her own store, her plan was delayed by turmoil in Colombia because of the drug trade and turmoil in her own life after her husband died of cancer when she was only 33, leaving her to raise their two young sons on her own.
The signing of a free-trade agreement between Canada and Colombia, as well as the growing popularity of Latina celebrities and fashion, helped her launch her business.
Her jeans are produced at a factory in Medellin, Colombia, funded by the Canadian and Colombian governments that employs 275 single mothers, offering good wages, health care and subsidized schooling for their children, says Furber.
Her store also carries pants, capris, shorts and soon, a bathing suit, with the same "levanta cola" design, and she is working on a more conventional men's jeans line, without any bum-lifting properties.

Space Monkey Able Celebrates Flight's 50th Anniversary
On May 28, 1959, a rhesus monkey named Able, plucked from a zoo in Independence, Kansas, and a squirrel monkey named Baker, made history as the first mammals to survive space flight.
Strapped into specially-designed couches inside a Jupiter missile nose cone, Able and Baker flew 300 miles above the surface of the earth reaching speeds more than 10,000 miles per hour.
Animals had been sent into space before. In 1957, two years before the monkeys' flight, the Soviets watched Laika, the space dog, orbit around the Earth. She did not survive.
But Able and Baker did, and their survival was evidence that mammals, even humans, could safely travel through space. Two years later, in 1961, Yuri Gagarin, a Soviet, became the first person in space, making a 108-minute orbital flight in his Vostok 1 spacecraft.
Unfortunately, a few days after the historic flight, Able did not survive surgery to remove an infected electrode from under her skin. Her body was preserved and is now on view at the Smithsonian's Air and Space Museum.
Able recently found new life as a star in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. She and partner-in-mischief Dexter, a capuchin monkey from the first Night at the Museum movie, can be seen testing security guard Larry Daley's patience with some slapstick comedy.

Great story as for me. I'd like to read a bit more concerning this matter.
Awww that's so sweet that her body's reserved but to add about Baker he got burried after he died i think in 1981 and people put bananas there
that is an awesome, but said story. do you think they would like being sent into space like that, it's just cruel! but i absolutely love the movie it is awesome. by the way i'm 11 years old!
sorry i made some mistakes in my last comment

Logic says two people, more than anyone, feel the pain of Fort Worth police official Paul Henderson's early Saturday arrest in Parker County on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
The first has to be Henderson, a 19-year veteran who worked his way up to be Chief Jeff Halstead's chief of staff. Often the department's front man in discussing important issues, including disciplinary actions against officers, in 2010 he even pronounced the department "fed up" with officers who were the subject of off-duty DWI complaints.There's been no allegation that Henderson is a problem drinker or has a DWI habit. Still, drinking and DWI have been a very public problem for Fort Worth police, including the 2009 death of a young mother in a wreck involving a drunk officer driving a city-owned SUV.Henderson had a prominent role in the department's vigorous response, which included mandatory alcohol-awareness training for all officers. Innocent until proven guilty he may be; with his arrest he became a prominent part of the departmental problem.He must feel the shame, just as he must realize the danger he posed to other people if he indeed was driving drunk. He has apologized, Halstead has said.Only Henderson's loved ones can help him through what must be a difficult time.The next most troubled person in this sad saga must be Halstead. Henderson clearly is someone Halstead had come to trust and to whom he delegated great responsibility. Halstead came to Fort Worth from Phoenix in 2008 to take over the department.On Tuesday, Halstead landed hard with a public denunciation of Henderson, busting him in rank and shunning him from the executive office.The former chief of staff is now the subject of an investigation by the very internal affairs staff he supervised only a few days ago.Halstead could do no less. Publicly pronouncing his personal disappointment in his former top aide, Halsted said what he had to say: "I will never tolerate this behavior."Neither will Fort Worth. Halstead must make sure each of his department's employees gets that message. Again.Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

Essay Editing
Essay editing has two main steps: essay editing and essay revision. Revising is when the writer examines paragraph order, adds components and/or removes large pieces of information. When revising, it is helpful to reverse outlines, check for all critical components and to use the rubric to check off the parts of the essay. Essay editing is often compared to cleaning a house.

The House Speaker said that he had spoken to several members of the top 1.5 per cent who were understandably despondent over seeing their taxes rise marginally as a result of the deal:Some of them were so upset they even considered moving to Canada, until they found out the taxes were higher there. Mr. Boehner said that he tried to offer the wealthy consolation by reminding them that because of an increase in payroll taxes, millions of middle-class and working-class Americans would be suffering more than they would:That usually put them in a better mood. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) assailed the fiscal-cliff legislation today, calling it a classic example of putting 98.5 per cent of the American people ahead of the rest of the country. Offering words of hope to the top 1.5 per cent, Mr. Cantor said,In a few months well have the next debate about the debt ceiling. As God is my witness, we will try to do a better job of bringing this nation to the brink of Armageddon. But to billionaires such as Harland Dorrinson, a longtime super-donor to the G.O.P., such assurances ring hollow:If the fiscal-cliff deal is the kind of performance we can expect from Republican politicians, whats the point of owning them?

CalPERS CIO Joe Dear on the pension fund's investment strategy.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
-- as a big story happening right now the nation's largest public pension fund.
Has made a big it.
Assets under management are almost back to 2007 levels right before that financial crisis hit and in terms outperformance.
It's having the best year since 2006 so where is the California public employees retirement -- -- -- -- calpers.
Putting their money to work right now lets -- chief investment officer Joseph dear.
Think joins me out of Fox Business was up from Sacramento California of course and I do want to ask you that I mean your portfolio at this point.
Is approaching 2007.
Highs what do you attribute that -- to in particular.
A leading up to the end of 2000 -- Surely come back a long way review by keeping to our long term strategic portfolio allocation so half of our money's an equity.
In private equity -- -- -- since fixed income.
And then real estate exposure hedge funds.
And through the time from the global financial crisis we basically kept that allocation.
So as the markets came back so -- our portfolio.
I mean we're looking at right now pie chart of where you have your investments there -- -- looking at big chunk public equity obviously in com.
In green 10% real that is real estate is -- are you focused more on.
The California real estate market are you spreading it more it eater either across the country internationally -- that he's the part for you right now.
The real estate portfolio which was -- big source of trouble in the financial crisis.
This help improve our returns real stake gives a 15% return in the past year.
We're moving our portfolio strategy -- real estate from a growth orientation to an income orientation.
That includes exposures to US real estate core real estate think high quality central business district.
Properties industrial properties to capture growth.
And emerging market exposures not so much Europe and real estate that real estate than one of the drivers of our improved performance.
Obviously that 2012 certainly with real saving again you're gaining more than 13% -- -- Gaza problem put Florida a couple of big issues and stories.
They came into play with calpers in 2012.
A particular was you're one of the first funds to make headlines by saying we're gonna get out of the gun business we're no longer gonna have these positions.
In gun makers -- made the types of guns we saw -- Newtown Connecticut.
Are you feeling comfortable in that decision.
And if you're gonna get out of that business where's the next new business.
Yeah surely you're a little ahead of us -- board at its February meeting will consider.
Our position in terms of exposure to.
Manufacturers of firearms.
Which are prohibited from ownership in the state of California.
It's a relatively small exposures seven point five million dollars in -- 250 billion dollar portfolio.
But our board will make the decision whether we wanted to deaths from those holdings.
I can't predict what will happen but selling out of seven have million -- position is gonna change the risk profiler.
Create a lot of transaction cost.
Group that actually manufactured the weapon used.
In the Newtown tragedy -- will take up divestment from firearms.
What we would do it as an alternative do we make that investment has just keep it -- through the regular weeks.
Well I'm glad you're making that distinction because calpers and cal serves a few well certainly the to a view it seemed to go in lockstep or whenever I -- wanna ask about something else -- in 2012 and that was JPMorgan you had big exposure.
To the company when that two billion dollar loss hit.
Calpers came out and said that he needs to go how do you filled now.
About Jamie Dimon leading JPMorgan.
I think Jamie Dimon is an example of how.
Managing a corporation is complex is JPMorgan it's impossible.
For the CEO to stay on top of all of the risks he still a very very talented executive.
And I don't think we actually call for his.
Termination I think we wanted the board.
Of the company to do a better job with respect to risk but that.
Questions for the JP morgans and the other financial giants is are these companies too big to manage -- they simply so complicated.
That they need to have pulled back and that will be a continuing discussion as we look at our market reforms in.
The imposition of a Volcker Rule in the US.
So is it fair to say -- that.
Your position is is change is a little -- you have more a kinder.
Position when it comes to date to Jaime diamonds leadership.
I -- act again Jamie Dimon is probably one of the most accomplished.
Executives and financial services in charge of any companies.
His story with the London whale in the six point six billion dollar loss in a trade is.
Even the best can make mistakes and the question will be what will the company learned going forward and you have to give him credit.
As he stepped up and accepted responsibility from that and that shouldn't be a refreshing novelty in government or business.
But right now it is.
Joseph ahead ask because obviously the decisions that calpers -- -- -- investments that you make well the market -- frankly.
-- -- calpers chief investment officer we're gonna be watching thank you for being here.
Thank you preventing.

Rest of the West Wednesday - 5/25/11
Does anyone want to win the AL West? Seriously, anyone? Some people seem to think that the division being so tightly bunched is going to make for a wild playoff race, but what I see is a the early signs of the AL West being setup to be this year's media punching bag for the division that is going to be sending some 86-win team to the playoffs while a 91-win team ends up sitting at home since they were just in the wrong division at the wrong time.
Maybe it won't happen, but if it does, don't say I didn't warn you.

These days you have to do more than just article marketing and link building to get a top spot in the SERPS.
Is your agency using any other techniques, such as video marketing, or forum marketing?
Video marketing in particular can produce results within HOURS.
Also, I would take a look at the articles and links they are setting up for you. A good artcile should generate traffic for years, but just like SEO on your website, relevance is important.
Google is getting pretty smart about linking tricks and strategies - but I am sure the company you are dealing with has that under control.
I would say if it is a competitive area they might be doing everything right and maybe your ROI expectations are being inflated by being compared against other sources such as Adwords/Email Marketing.
If you have made all their technical architecture change requests this will have a big effect. Did they initially give you a time frame to expect changes of 6 months or is that your review date? If the SEO firm advised it would take 12-18 months because of your industry, you need to confirm how they are placed.
A current campaign we are running we are about 1-2 years behind the leader, with smaller budgets and about 1/3 the number of links. Playing catchup for an seo company can be very stressful as your competitor has picked most of the low hanging fruit and has had 1-2 years to measure which directories/paid links deliver the best ROI.
Have a chat to the SEO agency and find out if there is anything within your organisation that is causing problems such as FTP access or approval times for PR releases.
How long should we give our SEO company?

According to an official blog post on the matter, players will see "improved polish, stability, weapons balancing, squad control functionality, user interface enhancements," and several other features which have been addressed due to feedback from the community.

Pima County helps high school graduates launch health-care careers
Friday, July 13th, 2012
Twenty high school graduates in lime green scrubs celebrated the completion of a summer internship program this week that prepared them for jobs as phlebotomist and patient care technicians.
Pima County One-Stop Career Center, Tucson Medical Center, the Pima County Joint Technical Education District (JTED) and Tucson Youth Development began partnering in 2004 to make the program possible and have seen nearly 150 young people complete it, TMC's chief operating officer, Linda Wojtowicz, told the interns Thursday at a celebration of their achievement.
Of those, 90 percent are still working in health care, said Arnold Palacios, executive director of the nonprofit Tucson Youth Development.
"We've already started to graduate registered nurses who were part of this program," he said.
Wojtowicz thanked TMC's partners in the program. "Without this, this hospital would not be able to serve the people we do," she said.
"You have all been exposed to careers you would not have been exposed to otherwise. … You make a difference in the lives of patients. They remember your name. You have an opportunity many people don't have."
In the GO! (Great Opportunities) Program, students take JTED courses to become certified nursing assistants before participating in training funded by Pima County One-Stop and paid internships funded by Tucson Youth Development.
Vaughn Croft, chair of the Pima County Workforce Investment Board Youth Council, reminded the interns that 2008 JTED and GO! Program alumnus Daniel Hernandez Jr. is credited with saving the life of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords when she shot on Jan. 8, 2011, on Tucson's Northwest Side.
"You never know where theses skills are going to lead you," he said.
Beth Francis, TMC's health careers coordinator, said most of the interns have already been offered jobs at TMC.
Gabriella Savorilla, a 20-year-old patient care technician at TMC, praised the program she went through two years ago.
"We got in for free," she said. "We got college credit."
Savorilla is getting ready to pursue studies to become a registered nurse.

Chorley Youth Theatre present the funny and cheeky play based on the best-selling book by the former Childrens Laureate (adapted for the stage by Vicky Ireland).
Shy, mild Mandy has been bullied at school for as long as she can remember. That's why she is delighted when cheeky, daring, full-of-fun Tanya picks her as a friend.
Mum isn't happy - she thinks Tanya's a bad girl and a bad influence on her daughter. But Mandy loves spending time with her brilliant new friend, and is sure Tanya can only get her out of trouble, not into it
or could she?
A modern childrens classic, this play deals with difficult emotional and social issues with brightness and wit.

Video: Chest press with weight machine
By Mayo Clinic staffTranscript
Dr. Laskowski: The chest press is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the chest muscles. Specifically, the chest press targets the pectoral muscles in the front of the chest. Strengthening these muscles can help you improve your ability to lift and push, and also improve your performance in a variety of sports.
Nicole Krupa: To do the chest press with a weight machine, adjust the seat so the handgrips are at or slightly below shoulder height, then slowly press forward, straightening your elbows. Don't arch your back or lock your elbows. Allow the handgrips to move toward your chest until your upper arms are at your body. Slowly return to the starting position. You'll feel tension across your upper chest.
When you're doing the chest press, be careful not to lock your elbows or let your elbows drop back behind your body.
For most people, one set of 12 to 15 repetitions is adequate.
Remember, for best results, don't lock your elbows and keep your movements smooth and controlled.

I've been up there more than 20 times, maybe 30, always in the line of reporting duties for newspapers and magazines now long gone, and it is my firm intent to climb the holy mountain again.
I put on my boots and take my pilgrim's staff and put Ciara's leather hat on my head and start off through the afternoon crowds with a light heart and step. There are thousands gathering and climbing, just like always. Nothing has changed at all.
Except me! I realize that after a while.
I am not as young as I used to be in the years I went up there like a goat. I'm still in good nick, but dammit I'm closer to 70 than any other decade marker. The holy mountain has got higher for sure.
I decide I will only go up as far as the statue of St. Patrick in the foothills, and that will do me. It is not raining, Clew Bay is beautiful during the periods when you can glimpse it through the afternoon mists.
I arrive at Patrick's cold stone toes so fresh I nearly change my mind but then remember how sharp the last stages of the climb are, even for young men, and say my prayers there, leaning on my staff, untroubled and at peace.
Two women of the traveling people pass me by barefoot. They were always a major thread in the tapestry of Reek Sunday.
The stones underfoot do not seem to hurt their tough soles. The traveling people were always religious. Nothing has changed at all.
I watch the mass of bodies climbing away up above me. I look at Patrick's austere old face.
"Saint," says I, "I don't think I'll be going any higher today than I am now. Is that all right?" I think he understood and forgave.
I ambled back down to Murrisk at the height of my ease, listening to the praying whispers of the little river traveling down with me. I'm kinda ashamed deep down at not going up to the summit but relieved too. One must adjust to the times.
Accordingly, once back at the car, I don't go into Campbell's Pub like I always did before. The drink-driving regulations are tight nowadays. One drink is no good at all if that is all you can have.
I drive away towards Galway as the colorful snake of climbers weaves its way around the bulk of The Reek. There was a deadline anyway. I had to get to Spiddal to be present for grandchild Lucy's fourth birthday.
I missed the cutting of the cake but not the party by the side of Galway Bay in Cuan and Niamh's house. The Dutch Nation was already there when I arrived.
Lucy's other grandfather is retired Dublin teacher named Kevin O'Brien, himself originally a native of Galway City. He's what you call a lovely man, gentle and learned, and he sticks me to the chair inside the hour with an informed theory he's picked up from reliable sources about this season's failure of the Galway hurlers.
The theory is that inter-club rivalry is so deeply passionate in Galway that, when the game starts to go wrong, the players revert to their club "selves" and there is not then the common purpose, focus and drive to enable them to come back from reverses.
Recent hurling history for the county supports Kevin's theory. I found it fascinating. Our Lucy was the happiest child in Connemara that evening, and sure that rubbed off on everyone.
And it is two evenings later and I'm dropping down from the Ladies View on the Caha Pass with the Dutch Nation into the town of Kenmare just after Angelus time in the evening.
The evening is golden, the Ring of Kerry has tried to prove for the past hour that it is the most scenic area of the west, (Christ but it is breathtaking!), and when we drop down into Kenmare we decide we are too hungry to go all the way down to Clonakilty.
So we stop in the center of the bright and busy town -- all the nations of the world a-walking – and we go into a pub called JB McCarthy's sometime just after seven o'clock. There is a merry air about the place, a mixed crowd that seems to include both bankers and hippies. And we order our food.
And, certainly before 7:30, live music starts from the corner, the very best and brightest. And at the same time I spot old friend Aileen Roantree at a nearby table, and she tells me the music always starts early in Kenmare and runs as long as the night runs. And she gives me the names of the musicians.
There was Dave Baker on box and banjo, Nick Urwin on bazouki, and none other than the legendary Sean Garvey in the middle.
I know Sean but I left him alone as I attacked my lamb stew with relish, and he sang ballads with his mighty voice and played the fiddle and banjo as well.
I met Paul Walsh, the man of the house, and complimented him on his lamb stew and the craic and asked him to help me slink away without Sean seeing me (which he did), because otherwise I would not be able to get out of Kenmare for two days.
And the Dutch Nation, even when enchanted like she was, never forgets that thing called The Schedule.

@themurphia, "taste of Ireland" is a figure of speech which means the "feel of" or "an idea about." You could get a "taste of America" if you visited NYC, Chicago, and LA. Mr. MacConnell's stories give those of us who don't live in Ireland, a feeling or an idea about what life is like there. For me, that's why his insightful, entertaining stories are the next best thing to being there.

Cormac, your being an man with a low carbon footprint, and track, I am resorting to your blog's comments to reach you…being a Yank bound for (all things being equal) Kerry next month, I have noted a September window of the West's culture preparing to cast its beacon near and far, and wish to bring it to your attention. Perhaps the good saint's trail and other sirens are screening the event from your calendar and, thus, my heralding…The Annual Lunch/Meeting of the Kerry Archeological and Historical Society will be held in Tralee on the 25th of the month, at 1:00PM sharp…I must warn you to utilize your journalist's leverage and discount, for the fare (pardon, if you will, the quip of more than bologna sandwiches) is 30 euros per head (they need not be in bags, or on a pike.)…if your eloquence or extortion fails to thaw the treasurer's heart, I will stand for your ticket at the registration table...small tribute indeed, for one of the West's leading ambassadors.

yeah, well, we had big Irish weekend over here in Milwaukee just now. Annual Irish Fest along Lake Michigan. Featured Donegal and Derry this year. Some great ambassadors from Donegal especially, hawking things like wollens from Kilcar, hillwalks around Slieve League, music camps up in Gweedore, the music of the lively mountains, the new welcoming and nonthreatening tourism climate, plus many many etcetera's... Ireland was in full flower there for four days for us midwesterners to immerse into... that thought of Fintan O'Tooles about "the lie of the land" being the map boundaries of Ireland rang true again (and again (and again (...

DOE Announces More than $8.4 Million for Regional Sequestration Technology Training ProjectsSelected Projects Will Advance U.S. as Leader in Technology to Address Climate Change
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced more than $8.4 million in funding to develop regional sequestration technology training projects. The seven projects will facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technologies required for site development, operations, and monitoring of commercial carbon capture and storage projects.
Today's funding, which includes $6.9 million from the Recovery Act, will advance the United States in its position as the leader in technology for addressing climate change and for developing near-zero emission technologies to significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants.
"These projects will train workers for a clean energy economy and help position the United States as a leader in carbon capture and storage technologies for years to come," said Secretary Chu.
The training activities will focus on the applied engineering and science of carbon capture and storage for site developers, geologists, engineers, and technicians, providing a technology transfer platform for CO2 sequestration. The selected awards will produce the workforce necessary for the CCS industry with skills and competencies in geology, geophysics, geomechanics, geochemistry and reservoir engineering disciplines. The projects selected successfully addressed five activity areas:
The total funding value of the projects is approximately $8.47 million over three years. The work will be managed by the Office of Fossil Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory. The projects selected under today's announcement include:

Martin Prokop arrived back in the Salou Service Park wreathed in smiles after posting fastest times on each of the morning's three stages.
The Czech Republic driver, who collected the Junior World Rally Championship title on the penultimate round in Finland, is now 32 seconds clear of his nearest rival, fellow Citroen C2 S1600 driver Hans Weijs.
Prokop was delighted with his day so far, commenting: "It's been really good. The confidence is good with the car and everything is looking well for me. I really enjoyed the long stage [SS7]. Okay, the road was quite dirty, but still I was able to find some grip and push the car. I will need to keep this speed."
Having run neck and neck with Weijs through yesterday's opening six stages, it was the 38 kilometers of El Priorat where Prokop really stretched his legs. He was 17 seconds faster than any other Junior driver - and 18.5 up on Weijs.
Despite being more than half a mninute down on his rival, Dutch driver Weijs hadn't given up hope on scoring his first J-WRC win in Spain. "We had some trouble with the brakes this morning," he said. "After that, on the last two stages, the time was the same [as Prokop]. Everything is still possible."
Local ace Jorge Marti remains third in his Renault Clio, having been passed in the day's opener by Aaron Burkart. The German's Suzuki stopped on the next test, leaving Marti back on the provisional podium and Simone Bertolotti up to fourth in a Suzuki. Renault driver Kevin Abbring is fifth.

Dr. Mirvis is the Editor-in-Chief of this journal and Professor of Radiology, Diagnostic Imaging Department, University of Maryland Medical Center, Baltiimore, MD.
The editorial goal of Applied Radiology is, of course, to discuss issues of direct concern to medicine and radiology without the discourse straying into matters of the human condition. Sometimes these topics are inexorably linked, so I will take some liberty here.
There is a season for trauma, at least in any place that has something resembling distinct seasons like Baltimore. In saying this, I am excluding mountain resorts in the ski season, which, of course, have a wave of activity when the sport is "in season"--a whole year's worth of business in the case of some orthopedic practices perhaps. The trauma season does not come with the onset of spring, but it has a temperature lag just like the weather seasons. In Baltimore, the real trauma season begins in June and continues until sometime in September. Many people that I've told about this seem to be a bit incredulous and confused by such a phenomenon. But every year as we plot our admissions to the trauma center, we find the same pattern.
Undoubtedly, the temperature and humidity have a great deal to do with creating this fluctuating volume of cases. When people are hot and sweaty, they drink more alcohol, they drive faster, they tend to exhibit more aggressive behavior, they work and play outside more, and they are just plain feistier. After being cooped up for the winter with its dreariness and cold, they begin to feel alive and re-energized. To celebrate the arrival of the warmer and longer days, they strive more to live in the moment. Unfortunately, living in the moment usually means more risk-taking behavior, often in or on a motor vehicle (car, motorcycle, boat, etc.). Put all this together and you get the trauma season. In this season, baseball bats are the assault weapons of choice after knives and guns. Out of season, it is the trusty and low-tech snow-shovel. The force of motor-vehicle collisions and the resulting injuries occurring in-season reflects, on average, a much higher kinetic energy exchange than those out of season.
None of us is completely immune to the effects of the season. I was recently driving in my midlife-crisis sports car (really bought just for looks) on the New Jersey Turnpike. Out of nowhere, I was suddenly challenged to a drag race by a turbo-charged, modified sports car driven by a teenaged boy and his "dying to be impressed" date. They were quite persistent, despite my obvious middle-aged appearance and clear lack of enthusiasm to accept the challenge. You see, I know it's the season. I understand something of what life might feel like as a quadriplegic. I know that one can die when behaving like a moron. What I wished I could do was to communicate this clear insight somehow to my newly acquired nemeses, to impart this profound truth, You can die or be severely injured and live in constant agony or, worse, kill some innocent person by behaving like a jerk. Even if you are not stupid, but smart, rich, and good-looking, trauma can certainly find you and ruin your life. Why make it easy? Alas, I had no means to get this message across. Instead, I threw a gentle kiss to the young lady in the passenger's seat and waved bye-bye. She responded with a universally understood digital gesture and they moved along to find another victim to play with.
I do not think our society does nearly enough to deter this kind of behavior. We all share the "it can never happen to me" attitude, and thus we see the resulting carnage on the highways and back roads every day. Perhaps we can do more. Driver education students come to visit our trauma center regularly to get just a feel of what it might be like to be severely injured. A more lasting impression might be made on these students if they listen to and see their own peers who have survived major traumas. Cancer may someday be cured, as will most infectious diseases probably, but, sadly, physicians treating trauma patients will always have job security.
