It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime for Violet D'Mello, who with her husband, Archibald, traveled to a game reserve in South Africa to mark her 60th birthday.
However, as the world came to know from the graphic images that have appeared in various outlets, Violet was attacked by two cheetahs, who were supposedly tame animals.
Now, she is speaking out for the first time since the horrifying incident, which took place at Kragga Kamma Game Park, and she reveals that she is "quite traumatized".
Violet, who tried to play dead as the two animals bit and clawed her head, stomach and legs, told Caters News Agency: "I just remember … something biting my head and dragging me down."
The incident unraveled when Violet and her husband had a chance to pet two brother cheetahs, Mark and Monty. They took pictures with the cheetahs and were still in the petting area when one of the cats grabbed an 8-year-old girl by the leg.
She then tried to stop the attack, but when the girl ran to safety, both animals turned on her in a savage attack that lasted for more than three minutes before a guide pushed the animals back with a stick.
"We never for one moment thought they would attack," she said, while her husband added, "They said they were extremely tame and one could stroke them."
She continued: "It was, I think, a playful attack because though they are grown-ups, they think like children."
However, her husband, who has attracted harsh criticism for continuing to take photos as Violet was being mauled, is hitting out at the Park's managers and is furious that they were told the animals were safe.
"We're very angry about what happened because we were told the situation was safe and it obviously wasn't," he added. "The park said they didn't know what had caused the cheetahs to attack but they shouldn't let tourists in unless they're sure it is safe."
Park manager Mike Cantor told the Port Elizabeth Herald newspaper that the park had never had any problems with the previously beloved cheetahs.
The petting facility was closed to the public while the park investigates the attack.
Violet, however, is trying to move on after the harrowing incident, which miraculously, she walked away with no life-threatening wounds.
"I was just sort of quite traumatized and I still am but you have to move on and think positive, you know, but I am on the mend," she said.

My Son Loves his Christmas gift
By TheLion
from Woodridge, IL
Bought this as a gift for my son after my wife suggested it and he showed some interest while I was shopping online. I told him about the "light up" keys and he while we browsed different keyboards he kept asking if they had the light up keys. He was excited Christmas morning when he received this - so was the wife!Had it setup in no time and playing - not playing good, but none of us has had any classes. The keyboard is good to learn the included songs, but it's mainly by memory. It breaks it down into "phases" and "parts". Phases are portions of the song, parts are right hand, left hand and both hands together.The display on the keyboard shows you which fingers to use on the lighted keys (more of a suggestion as the book mentions). During "lessons" it will announce the finger (1-5) and the key lights up. The song book is included and has a "ranking" to use - ranking songs from easy to complex.You can change the instrument sound, tempo and probably a slew of other things once you get use to it. I'm still learning. The manual is easy to follow. This will not teach you to "read" music sheets unless you are good and learning by doing - i.e. you follow the music sheet while watching which keys light up.I still have not plugged in the keyboard to a laptop/pc via USB but may try that soon. A USB cord is not included but I may have an additional one laying around. If you plan on buying one for the keyboard make sure you get the right type.It does include an AC adapter so you can plug it in and start using it right away.I am glad my son continues to show an interest in it and is still playing on it - he will sit there and sing while hitting keys, not the perfect way to play but it's nice to see him showing an interest in something for more than a day or so - he's 4 1/2 yrs old. Of course I've learned the right hand sequence for twinkle twinkle and the wife is learning also :)

Florida Bible College is a living organism, a living family of faith,that shares the clear gospel message with the lost, disciples and mentors believers, and equips them to do the work of the ministry. Florida Bible College values the friendships of the members of its family of faith,however; Florida Bible College exists to do more than to "just remember when" and to hold nice reunions because Florida Bible College exists first to serve its mission to evangelize the lost, share the clear gospel message, disciple and mentor believers, support missions , teach the Bible, and to equip men and women to do the work of the ministry. With an estimated 4-5 billion lost people on this earth today in 2005, it is the duty of Florida Bible College and its alumni to be proactive in seeing Florida Bible College fulfil its mission into the future and that is the way that the founders of FBC set up FBC, to be the Saints, not the devil's aints! ALL Florida Bible College alumni have a duty to support Florida Bible College! It is a great dissapointment that some weak alumni of Florida Bible College who have been influenced by the devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy Florida Bible College , and he has warped and blinded them and has led them to use past sins of those from our family of faith as an excuse for them to exempt themselves from their responsibility to faithfully serve the Lord thru supporting the ministry of Florida Bible College. Although God is using many ministries today, it is wrong to use the work that God is doing with other ministries as an excuse not to support FBC. Sin is wrong, and ALL sin separates man from God. Florida Bible College does not condone sin, and teaches that Christ paid a heavy price for all of our our sins. We are all sinners and none of us can cast any stones at another. When a Christian sins both his/her fellowship with God and his/her fellow man has been damaged. Man must confess and repent of his sins , even after salvation, not to be saved, or to remain saved, but to remain in good standing and to have good fellowship with God and man. When a believer confesses and repents of their sins, it is the responsibility of believers to forgive them and to restore them into the faith.It is sad to see so many bitter Christians who refuse to forgive those who have fallen into sin, even after they have confessed their sins before both God and man. Please pray what part that the Holy Spirit would have you do in the official re-start of Florida Bible College. E-Mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com ****************************** Repentance is necessary for salvation. The Greek work for "repent" is metanoeo, which translates into English as: "to change one's mind." It does not mean "to turn from sin." That would add works to salvation. Repentance for salvation means a change of mind from men's ideas of salvation and religion, to an acceptance of God's only way of salvation. This results in a completely new creation, not a reformation of the old. The old nature remains as evil as ever after salvation and has not been reformed. The old nature can now be controlled by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit. God guarantees salvation. This is His gift to us. God guarantees reward and fruit to the obedient son. God guarantees chastening and loss of rewards to the disobedient son. God does not cast out disobedient children, but in some cases, does take them home. He does not permit His children to live as they please without His discipline and guidance. Many teach repentance for salvation incorrectly by including some form of human effort or righteousness, such as willingness to turn from sin, or turning from sin. This is heresy and has confused many people, as it adds works to salvation and causes many to not understand God's great gift. It is probation, not salvation. It is completely unscriptural. It is "Galatianism" and a counterfeit of the gospel. It is a tragedy that many Christians live shallow Christian lives. Florida Bible College is dedicated to the task of training Christian men and women in the importance of total dedication and making Jesus the Lord of their lives - not to be saved - but because they are saved. "Shallow Christianity" cannot be cured by adding works to salvation. Salvation is not the result of what we do, but is by receiving what God has done for us. Acts 13:38,39; Acts 20:20; Gal.1:8.9; Gal. 2:4; Gal. 2:21; Gal. 3:1-3; Gal. 5:1-4; Eph. 2:8-10; II Cor. 5:21;John 3:16-18: Phil. 3:9; Titus 3:5-8; II Cor. 11:13-15 It is every Christians privilege and duty to make clear God's plan of salvation wherever and in whatever vocation he or she may be. Mark 16:15: 1 Thess 2:1. The general plan of salvation in God's Word - in this brief outline - is believed and practiced by Florida Bible College as follows: A. Establish the fact that all men are sinners. Rom. 3: 10; Rom. 3:23: Isa. 64:6; Jer. 17 :9; James 2:10. B. Establish the fact that the penalty of sin is death. Rom. 6:23; Ezek. 18:20. C. Establish the fact that you must be perfect to enter heaven. Rev. 21:27. D. Establish the fact that man can do nothing of himself to obtain this perfection. Eph. 2:8,9; Gal. 2:16; Rom. 4:5. E. Show how God provided a sin-bearer and imputes to man His righteousness. II Cor. 5:21; Phil. 3:9; Isa. 53:6; I Pet. 3:18. F. Establish the fact that man needs only belief in the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior for salvation. John 3:16; Rom. 10:9; John 1:12; Acts 16:31. G. Establish the fact that man can be certain of his salvation now, and that his salvation cannot be lost because eternal life is eternal. John 6:37-39; John 10:28; I Pet. 1:5; Heb. 10:10-14; I John 5:13.

Elmo, a town of about 150 people tucked away in the northwest corner of Nodaway County, is one of those little prairie villages that most people miss even if they don't blink their eyes while driving through.
Essentially created by the Wabash Railroad Co. and called St. Elmo early on, the town today is little more than a collection of old storefronts just off sparsely traveled Route C not far from the Iowa line.
But once a year on the Saturday before the 4th of July, tiny Elmo is reborn, if only in the collective memory of a few dozen families who still call the place home. The town's annual summer festival, held on a scenic hilltop where there used to be a schoolhouse, is a heartfelt event that speaks both to a fading past and a hopeful, if somewhat uncertain, future.
This past weekend was no exception. All the usual trappings of a small town on holiday were present and accounted for. There was a 5K run and walk, an inflatable obstacle course for the youngsters, a baby beauty contest (all babies were judged to be equally beautiful), a parade, lots of food, some music and dancing, and a big fireworks display.
Countywide there are a half-dozen similar festivals every year. But the Elmo fair is, somehow, a little different. Special. More of a family affair — a remembrance of things past. The town seems too small to have so much heart.
Decades after Elmo's heyday in the 1920s as a farm-to-market hub, the town's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, many of whom have ties to the community spanning 100 years or more, are still coming "back home."
Two of those offspring, now in their 70s, are Dick and Ethel Phillips, who drove nearly 600 miles from their home in suburban Denver, Colo., to spend a day among the bottomland cornfields and rolling, wooded hills of their youth.
Dick Phillips played basketball and tennis for Northwest Missouri State University in the 1950s, then went on to become a Methodist clergyman and earn a doctorate in developmental psychology from Syracuse University in New York. Before retiring, he served 18 years as dean of SU's Hendricks Chapel, a nationally prestigious theological and academic post.
Though he grew up in Tarkio, Phillips calls himself a "surrogate member of the Elmo community." His parents and grandparents grew up in the area and are buried there. It's Ethel's hometown.
"One reason she married me is that every other boy she went to school with was her cousin," Phillips quipped.
But if the bloodlines run close and thick in Elmo, so do family values, said Phillips, who believes that farm life, church life and the iron-clad rural code of what it means to be a good neighbor were touchstones that made the little community special.
Page 2 of 2 - "It was a great little town," recalled Ethel Phillips. "I remember on Saturday night when everybody came in and there would be cars parked double up and down the street. I've adjusted to city life, but I'm basically still just a small-town person."
Of the memories that remain, Ethel said some of the most special are the corn cob and walnut hull fights she had with her cousins and attending a one-room school house,
Doing farm work during the summer for his grandparents and uncles, Dick Phillips best recalls putting up hay, going to barn-raisings and cultivating corn. In those days, he said, farming was a communal affair, with neighbors pitching in whenever someone needed help.
"It really was a family and a community atmosphere," he said. "Everybody shared and everybody helped."
Not that life was all work and no play. Like his wife, Dick Phillips has a very soft spot for Saturday nights in the 1940s and '50s when Elmo was filled with busyness, bustle, excitement and even romance.
"It was a great tradition," he said. "You came into town and you shopped, you went to the movies, you had a milkshake at the soda shop. People were having fun, and Elmo was just a good place to be."

Edward Estlin Cummings, known to most of his readers as e. e. cummings, first published "somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond" in 1931 in his poetry collection, ViVa. As with all of his other poems, the author did not give this poem an actual title. For purposes of identification, editors simply refer to each of cummings's poems by its first line. The poem is very clearly a love poem, and cummings is renowned for his love poetry. Critics, however, have singled this poem out as one of cummings's best love poems.
The poem details the profound feelings of love that the speaker has for his beloved, and his wonder over this mysterious power that the woman has over him. Over the course of the short poem, the speaker examines and praises this power, and notes how his beloved has transformed him. The speaker in the poem may or may not be cummings himself, although the intensity of emotion expressed in the poem leads one to believe that the poet is describing his own experiences. When cummings published "somewhere i have never travelled,gladly beyond," he had been married to Anne Barton for two years. While Barton might have been the source of the poem's inspiration, this inspiration would have been short-lived, for cummings and Barton divorced a year later, in 1932. A current copy of the poem can be found in E. E. Cummings: Complete Poems 1904–1962, which was published in hardcover by Liveright in 1994.

So we find the people down the street from you who are trying to do their part to help and we try and help THEM. Get involved with the idea of being involved people. After all, it's your town, your country, your world, and no one will ever make as much of a difference as you can just by waking up and being a part of it.

B A+F Weather: For the most part, the area is temperate. Summer certainly gets hot and humid, but not much more than anywhere else on the East Coast. It is about 5 degrees warmer than New York and 5 degrees cooler than Atlanta.
A A+F Weather: North Carolina weather is pretty moderate. Chapel hill has a beautifully colorful fall, manageably cold but pretty winter (check out the Christmas lights on the historic fraternity court homes), warm and long spring, and a fun, bustling summer.
A A+F Weather: Nothing like a Carolina blue sky!
B A+F Weather: Pros: absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the fall and springCons: extremely hot at very beginning/end of school year, extremely temperamental year roundThe weather can be 75 one day and 50 the next. So you're going to have to check the weather every day before class. Other than the extreme temperatures in august/may, the rest of the year is pretty awesome. It occasionally snows in the winter and it rains every once in a while in the fall and spring. I would definitely invest in a pair of rainboots.
B- A+F Weather: When it's nice, it's gorgeous, and when it sucks, it sucks. not much in between.

Carolina weather is unpredictable to say the least. It might be 80 degrees one day and 50 the next, but it is always beautiful. The drastic changes in weather can be bothersome but also quite nice because it allows students to do a myriad of activities despite the current season. The varied weather that North Carolina experiences makes it great for a weekend camping trip to the mountains or a drive to the beach for some sun. It's a good idea to keep clothes for all seasons in your wardrobe because you will need them.
Chapel Hill weather is also interesting in that it is one of few places in the United States that experiences all 4 seasons in great distinction. From cold winters (and even some snow!) to vibrant springs and muggy summers to the ever-changing foliage of fall, it is definitely never boring. Campus is typically vibrant and flower filled in the spring, and cool and crisp in the fall. As long as you are prepared for the weather Carolina will be a enjoyable eperience.

No surprise: Cardinals O-line ranked as NFL's worst
No one has to tell you the Arizona Cardinals' offensive line has struggled this season.
You have eyes, after all.
Still, to see it so officially, so statistically true is a bit disturbing, but that's exactly what ProFootballFocus.com has done.
The site produced its "Offensive Line Rankings: Week 10 Update" story, and it should come as no surprise that the Cardinals rank 32nd out of 32 teams.
According to their metrics, Arizona is league-worst in both run and pass blocking, and 21st in penalties.
Yep things haven't got much better for the Cardinals who by some distance still have the worst offensive line in the league. Nate Potter got some action and it's unlikely we've seen the last of him as D'Anthony Batiste is still our worst ranked tackle in the league by some distance. How this line remains such a mess is in excusable.
The Cardinals, who were off this week, may be making a change at left tackle by replacing Batiste with Potter. However, it remains to be seen if that will be enough to fix what has become arguably the least-effective unit in the entire NFL.

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
A A+F Academics: My major is very well supported and the opportunities I have to further my education are endless. My school offers opportunities to do student teaching in other states and well as overseas. The curriculum is geared to make sure we are on top of the ever changing demands in the education field. We have a brand new "school of education building" that is modern and provides a great learning environment.
A A+F Academics: This is the main reason I chose this college. Their education department is top-notch and school districts look for graduates from Ashland to hire because they know they are highly qualified when they graduate to be educators.
C A+F Academics: The workload within my program is crazy depending on the core classes you are taking for it. If you take the chemistry and biology aspect, the load seems extremely heavy because you have to stay organized. But, also by being a smaller school, your advisors and teachers and assistance offered for tutoring is very available to you. Your teachers want you to do well are are very welcoming to help.
C A+F Academics: I have only had 2 poor professors. The were always behind, thus it made it seem like you were behind. They also did not offer very many grades, thus if you messed up once, you were in trouble. Otherwise the academics are good. The classes are very clear and I have found it to be very self-explanatory what I needed to do each semester.
A A+F Academics: I'm in the Music program at Ashland and I have to say that the professors are some of the best people that I have ever met. All of them are so eager to help and they really want you to succeed. They all have pretty long (imo) office hours and are very willing to meet with you another time if you have classes during their office hours. I feel comfortable talking with all of the professors and they will all make a point to make you feel that way. I've only taken a few classes in other departments so far but as a whole I think that the Ashland staff are all really willing to help as long as you're willing to ask for it.

Got someone in the family who needs to eat gluten free? Vegan? They don't need to be deprived of special holiday cookies and treats.
The holiday season is synonymous with tradition. But that doesn't mean you have to fill your home with the same holiday decorations in the same color scheme every year.
Many traditions surround the long history of nativity scenes, but Christ always is at the center of these beloved displays. Here are a few facts you may not have known.
When we visited our family doctor for Littlest Roy's nine-month checkup in mid-November, I made the mistake of wishing him a Merry Christmas as he walked out the door.

December is here, sneaking in on the heels of a September that slipped by when I wasn't looking. I have no idea what happened to October and November; I think we skipped them. It seems like a few days ago, I was bringing tomatoes in from the garden.
Now that Thanksgiving has passed, the Christmas season is in full swing.
I like to tell people our house seems like it should have a fireplace, it just doesn't.
The annual Giving Tree project has begun at John Clem Elementary School.

When it comes to dessert on Thanksgiving, it has to be pies! Cakes may do fine for other holidays, but not this one.
Christmas Eve is one month away, and you have a lot to get done between now and then. You have presents to buy and wrap; parties to plan and attend; and holiday meals to prepare and serve.
When it comes to Christmas shopping, it's not enough anymore to head out with a stack of 'wish lists' from friends and family and hope for the best.
Even if you don't set foot outside the house on Black Friday, savings possibilities abound in the coming month.

Program posted by: HumanThread
Posted on: December 21, 2012
Dear School Administrators, Art Educators, Community Organizers, and to whom it may concern,
Contact: Project Director: Jeanette Thompson – Art Educator, CICS Northtown Academey HS Email questions to: firstname.lastname@example.com
OR, Call HumanThread at 312.243.9423
Objectives and Scope of Project: The I AM Juried Student Art Exhibition project aims to help today's Chicago youth and the youth across the state of Illinois explore their identity and how they are perceived in the world they live in by their peers, their community and the adults that surround them.
We all live in a world of assumptions, accusations and stereotypes that try to define who we are. We judge and are judged daily, be it by the color of our skin, the clothes we wear or the way we speak. These things do not define us. There is more to who we are than how we look, dress, or speak. I AM exhibition challenges teenagers to take a closer look at who they are, as defined by their actions and choices, and who they are not, defined by society's classifications. The goal of this project, therefore, is Self-Knowledge ("Know thyself," ancient Greek maxim).
Invitation to Students:We invite students to explore who they are even further than just stereotypes, including the possibility of projected bias and/or the internalization process that stems from the outside expectations of them. We invite students to explore if their "choices and actions" could be potentially closely linked to meeting others' expectations of them – which leads to a question - when does 'social-learning/conditioning' end and free-will begin in one's life? Thus, this is their opportunity to not only explore their self-image and the images imposed on them by others or society but make a statement about the struggle they may go through to express and reveal their truer identity and who they really are, through "I AM" ART.
Lesson Plans: Teachers may request interdisciplinary lesson plans to assist them with the complex theme of the exhibition and foster personal growth among their students.

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
I purchased this after getting fed up with the horrible hair dryers at the gym and my six year old hair dryer that was falling apart. I do not regret this purchase at all. My hair is so soft, shiny, and smooth. It's true power showed when it was able to tame my sister's frizzy hair- it looked really good!
Totally worth it and recommend to everyone.
I had to invest in a new hair dryer after my previous one (different brand) broke.
I read the product description and the reviews before buying this and I have to say that overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
However. It's a blow dryer. There was no significant decrease in drying time or an increase to the shine of my hair. I have waist length hair and I know it's going to take a significant amount of time to get the job done so I'm not complaining--just don't expect any miracles and you won't be disappointed!
Again, I'm very satisfied with the dryer--especially the two different heat settings! It's a great dryer ladies so go ahead and splurge :)
I try to air dry my hair as much as possible, but wanted to add a high quality dryer into the mix when I'm going for a more polished look. This dryer is the best I've ever used -- not too heavy, but still substantial enough to dry quickly. Definitely worth the investent.
I love this thing. Perfect for my long, thick, wavy hair. I don't have to wake up As early to do my hair for work now :)
I bought this hairdryer about three years ago (from a different retailer - I hadn't yet discovered Birthbox) and it is just amazing! I have loved it since day one but I didn't fully appreciate it until I began to frequently travel for work and looked for an alternative. Not wanting to drop the money on another one (and because my husband loves it too and requested it stay at home), I tried out several other "professional" hairdryers including Chi and Hot Tools models and none of them compared. This thing has some serious oomph. It has two heat settings, two airflow settings, and a cool setting that actually gets cool and you don't have to hold down. The highest heat setting is definitely hot but I still use it about 75% of the time. Because this dryer is so powerful, it takes a little getting used to. In the beginning, it would sometimes leave my hair tangled up in tiny knots but this was completely my fault for being sloppy. Now, I love it and regular dryers seem so pitiful. Most importantly, I can dry my hair in half of the time. It's an investment for sure, but it delivers and is still going strong three years later.
Maybe it's because this is the first "professional" hair dryer I have ever had that I am so thrilled! My hair gets dried and styled in almost half the time. It also doesn't leave my hair with the fried blowdryer feel that a conair dryer from the local pharmacy would. Totally worth the money. Substantial in feel yet not heavy.
I have never spent this much on a blowdryer before. It meets my expectations. It reduces my blowdrying time for my fine frizzprone Asian hair by half. Without any product applied first, it also gives it sheen and I do not need a flatiron! I love it!
I have had this blow dryer for over a year and bought it from Birchbox. I love how light weight it is and is easy to use to dry my ridiculously long thick hair. I would highly recommend this product!
my only complaint is that after a year the piece on the back fell off and the screen that keeps the intake valve from sucking in your hair to the back of the blow dryer fell out and was lost during a cross country move. I still use it every day, but have to be careful about my hair not getting sucked into it!
I bought this blow dryer 6 months ago, and there are no words for how well it's served me. I'm African American and have long, think, relaxed hair. To keep my hair straight, I have to blowdry it, which takes an hour with most dryers, but this blow dryer cuts the time by a full 15 minutes. I always use heat protectant spray when blow drying my hair, but it really does wonders, and I've even seen less breakage as I blow dry!
I bought this with points after my 7-year-old Chi Nano died. The Chi left my hair feeling much smoother.
This dries my hair very quickly with it's powerful motor. That does cause it to tangle, since it's blowing my hair so hard. It doesn't get as hot as some other dryers I've had, so it would be good for someone who wants to use less heat on their hair.
I wanted to love it, but it's just ok. It gets the job done.

Improvements designed to pave the way for a Costco store in Ukiah may be in jeopardy as more than $10 million was removed from a list of payments the City of Ukiah intended to make on behalf of its former redevelopment agency.
Last month, a list of payments known as the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) for January through June was approved by the Ukiah City Council -- acting as the Ukiah Redevelopment Agency's Successor Agency -- and the agency's Oversight Board and sent to the state's Department of Finance (DOF).
Soon after receiving the list, the DOF requested more information about many items, then Friday sent a letter telling Ukiah Finance Director Gordon Elton that it was removing several items from the list, including millions intended for the Costco Development Project.
"Based on a sample of line items reviewed and application of the law, the following do not qualify as (enforceable obligations)," Program Budget Manager Mark Hill wrote, describing five items on the city's four-page list:
$699,535 of the NCRA Option and Weston Development Agreement, which the city claims is for "aiding in the redevelopment and remediation of the Perkins Street Railroad Depot property clean-up."
"It is our understanding that contracts totaling $371,253 were awarded prior to June 28, 2011. Because additional contracts provided in support of the line item were executed after June 27, 2011, we are questioning $699,535 of the claimed $1.1 million," Hill wrote.
$6.6 million for the Costco Development Project, which are most of the obligations claimed in two separate sections on the ROPS lists and described as "for construction obligation for the development of infrastructure projects that will improve traffic, drainage and utility services."
"It is our understanding that contracts totaling $430,021 were awarded prior to June 28, 2011. As additional contracts ... were executed after June 28, 2011, we are questioning $6.6 million of the claimed $7 million," Hill wrote.
$4.4 million of Non-Housing Bond Projects, set aside for three projects, including the Redwood Business Park and clean-up of the railroad depot property.
"Bond proceeds shall be used for the purposes for which bonds were sold unless the purposes can no longer be achieved. In is our understanding that no contracts were awarded for this project prior to June 28, 2011," Hill wrote.
$1.2 million described as loans from the city's General Fund ($282,872) and a loan from the city's Electric Fund ($914,829).
"Agreements, contracts or arrangements between the city that created the redevelopment agency (RDA) and the former RDA are not enforceable unless the loan agreements were entered into within the first two years of the date of the creation of the RDA. The Ukiah RDA was established in 1974; this loan agreement was executed in 1996," Hill wrote.
$830,000 in administrative expenses.
"Fiscal year 2011-12 administrative cost allowance (is limited) to five percent of the property tax allocated to the successor agency or $250,000, whichever is greater. Therefore, $830,000 of the $1.1 million is not allowed," Hill wrote.
Assistant City Manager Sage Sangiacomo said there likely will be lawsuits regarding how the DOF interpreted the legislation (Assembly Bill 1x26) calling for the dissolution of the state's RDAs.
"Essentially what the DOF has done is taken a very strict interpretation of the legislation, but they're also ignoring parts of the law," Sangiacomo, referring to the section that states "bond proceeds shall be used for the purposes for which bonds were sold unless the purposes can no longer be achieved."
"From what I'm reading, this is playing out statewide with probably hundreds of cities, and I can't help but think there will be litigation," he continued, adding that the city is now brainstorming any available options for completing two important projects: Costco development and clean-up of the railroad depot property.
"Since we received this letter we've been actively exploring and strategizing and those options will be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks," he said, adding that he could give few details. "I can tell you that not all of them require funding from the city."
As for a potential Costco store in Ukiah, Sangiacomo said "we are still very actively engaged with Costco and Costco wants to be here."
The DOF's letter will likely be discussed at the next meeting of the Oversight Board for the URA's successor agency, which is at 3:30 p.m. today at the Ukiah Valley Conference Center.

Jay L. Hoecker, M.D.
Jay Hoecker, M.D.
Dr. Jay Hoecker, an emeritus member of the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, brings valuable expertise to health information content on primary care pediatrics. He has a particular interest in infectious diseases of children.
He's a Fort Worth, Texas, native, certified as a pediatrician by the American Board of Pediatrics and a fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics. He was trained at Washington University's St. Louis Children's Hospital, and in infectious diseases at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He has been with Mayo Clinic since 1989.
"The World Wide Web is revolutionizing the availability and distribution of information, including health information about children and families," Dr. Hoecker says. "The evolution of the Web has included greater safety, privacy and accuracy over time, making the quality and access to children's health information immediate, practical and useful. I am happy to be a part of this service to patients from a trusted name in medicine, to use and foster all the good the Web has to offer children and their families."

Air travel with infant: Is it safe?
Is air travel safe for an infant?
from Jay L. Hoecker, M.D.
Air travel is appropriate for most infants. Before you fly with your baby, however, consider:
- Your baby's age. Generally, age doesn't affect an infant's ability to handle air travel. Your baby's doctor might discourage unnecessary air travel shortly after birth, however.
- Your baby's ears. Changing cabin pressure during a flight causes temporary changes in middle ear pressure, which can trigger ear pain. To help equalize the pressure in your baby's ears, encourage your baby to suck on a bottle or pacifier during takeoff and landing. Ear infections and ear tubes aren't thought to pose problems during air travel. If your baby is ill, however, you might ask his or her doctor whether you should postpone the flight.
- Your baby's breathing. During flight, air pressure in an aircraft cabin is lower than air pressure on land. Although this temporary change in oxygen level doesn't seem to pose problems for otherwise healthy babies, your baby's doctor might recommend supplemental oxygen if your baby has an underlying respiratory condition. If your baby was born prematurely and has a history of lung disease, your baby's doctor might recommend postponing air travel until age 1 or later.
- Your baby's safety seat. Most infant car seats are certified for air travel. Although airlines typically allow infants to ride on a caregiver's lap during flight, the Federal Aviation Administration recommends that infants ride in properly secured safety seats. If you choose not to purchase a ticket for your infant, ask about open seats when you board the plane — in case one can be assigned to your infant. For the most room, choose bulkhead seats if you can.
If you're tempted to give your baby an over-the-counter medication to encourage sleep during the flight — such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl, others) — be cautious. The practice isn't generally recommended, and sometimes the medication can have the opposite effect. If you still think that medication might be the best option for your baby, talk to your baby's doctor first. He or she might recommend a test dose at home to be sure the medication has the intended effect.
It's also important to think about how you'll occupy your baby during the flight. You might bring on board a teething ring, pacifier, special blanket or stuffed animal, and age-appropriate toys and books. If your baby is fussy while you're in the air, take occasional breaks to walk up and down the aisle — as long as the crew approves moving throughout the cabin.
In addition, be prepared to feed your baby during the flight. Baby formula, baby food, expressed breast milk and juice are allowed on board in reasonable quantities, according to the Transportation Security Administration. You can take your baby out of his or her safety seat for nursing whenever the crew approves moving throughout the cabin.

International Mountain Summit to debate "Show Alpinism" 05 Sep 2011 The International Mountain Summit (IMS) will discuss a lot of issues of importance for the global mountaineering community at its 2011 meeting in Brixen-Bressanone, Italy. There will be debate at the 2011 IMS (October 21 – 30) on topics such as the role of forests in mountain sports, security and safety regulations for materials, and alpinism's impact on mountain ecosystems. According to Heinrich Mayer Kaibitsch of the IMS, "the development of new sports could be boosted by creating [standard] UIAA guidelines for international competitions (bouldering, slacklining)". The UIAA supports the IMS since it is an international platform to discuss, celebrate and shed new light on the mountains in all their different facets. The organisers expect around 10,000 visitors this year. The event is based on several pillars including "Walk" (hikes with well known alpinists), "Talk" (presentations by invited climbers), "Discussion" (round table talks), and a "Boulder Festival". Show Alpinism A 2011 highlight is expected to be a round table discussion on what IMS calls "Show Alpinism". The debate on October 28 will showcase the increasing importance of sponsorship for top climbers, and whether the lure of money makes maximum visibility more important than individual performance. "Their market is the public eye, and the more visible they are, the better for both the sponsors and the mountaineers themselves," says the IMS in its programme.
Another round table will focus on the increasing pressure on ecosystems from leisure activities. Mountain forests are now the playground not only for traditional hikers and climbers but less environmently friendly pursuits such as downhill mountain biking, paintballing, and bouldering. This increase in human interference with flora and fauna can lead to conflict. New approaches to resolve this conflict will be discussed. Rounding off the Summit will be a series of photo exhibitions, mountain film screenings and slackline and bouldering shows. |

Several years ago, Novak Djokovic emerged on the men's tour as a precocious teen, speaking openly of his lofty ambitions for tennis domination and his desire to take on the game's best. Fresh-faced, ebullient and incredibly talented, the young Serb represented the future of his fledgling nation's tennis prospects, a badge of honour he wore all the way on his rise to becoming a multiple Grand Slam champion and world No.1.
More recently, along has come Ryan Harrison. Similarly articulate and driven, he cracked the top 100 at just 19 years of age, and anointed by many as the future of American tennis, he has taken to representing his country in Davis Cup like a fish to water. His intensity and ambition, much like Djokovic's, is hard to surpass.
On Wednesday night at Rod Laver Arena, the pair came face to face. And following Djokovic's commanding 6-1 6-2 6-3 win in 91 minutes, it showed that Harrison, currently ranked No.62, has a long way to go before reaching Djokovic's lofty level.
"I went with that kind of (focused) mindset on the court, just trying to play as sharp as possible from the start," Djokovic said after the match.
"You're trying to perform your best in every match that you play on. This was definitely a better performance than the first round. I managed to play in a very high level already in the second round of a Grand Slam, which is very encouraging for (the) next challenge."
With Djokovic clad in dark hues, Harrison in head-to-toe white and the pair moving about the square lines of the tennis court, the match somewhat resembled pieces on a chessboard. And much like a clever exponent of the strategic game, Djokovic immediately set about dissecting his young foe.
If he wasn't sliding out wide to rifle his trademark open stance backhand, he was on his toes, hugging the baseline and controlling the centre of the court. When he wasn't smacking aces or landing his returns mere centimetres from the baseline, he was displaying his deft touch in the form of dropshots and perfectly-weighted lobs.
The Serb applied maximum pressure from the very first ball, and Harrison simply couldn't go with him. The shell-shocked 20-year-old found himself a set down in just 20 minutes, having won nine points to Djokovic's 26.
The top seed has rarely looked better and continued his assault, his forehand – which produced 14 cold winners throughout the match – particularly devastating. Harrison finally got the better of Djokovic during the third game, coming out on top of a 17-stroke rally at deuce after the Serb erred wildly, eventually holding for 1-2.
But it was a mere aberration. Djokovic's sunniness, exhibitionism and character masks the intense competitor within, killer instinct running like iced water through his veins. He showed no remorse for or mercy on his overwhelmed opponent despite the one-sided scoreline, and made it even more so when he held to love to take second set, helped on set point by a fabulous running forehand angled sharply crosscourt that drew an error.
Encouragingly, the third set was more competitive.
Harrison showed evidence of his highly-regarded talent with some electrifying passing shot winners, his clenched fists showing the supportive Rod Laver Arena crowd that the endeavour, at least, was there. They cheered him on, willing the match to go just a little longer.
They got their wish. A battle ensued in the seventh game, with several deuces. As Djokovic relentlessly pounded his forehand from corner to corner, Harrison defended valiantly and was able to extract some uncharacteristic errors. Holding for 3-4, he injected a little tension into the match.
Djokovic answered the challenge authoritatively, clobbering several winners to hold for love, and then clocking consecutive forehand winners in the next game to end the match.
During his on-court post-match interview, the top seed surmised that Harrison may not have played his best given the occasion, but wished him the best and noted that a bright future lay ahead.
"I'm sure, knowing him for last two years, that he's going to put on these hours on the court and off the court being very professional, committed," he continued in his post-match press conference.
"So that's why I think they rate him as one of the up-and-coming rising stars."
Yet after tonight's exemplary performance from Djokovic, it appears that bright future is a little way off.
Because the world No.1 isn't going anywhere.

Who Are You? What Have You Learned?
Tuesday, July 31st, 2012I saw Oprah, on several occasions, pick a person from her audience and ask them for a short version of their story: Who are they, what have they learned, what difference have they made? Powerful stuff, I know, because friends and I co-published a small, community newspaper for 12 years, and whenever we posed those questions, something incredible happened: Because we cared enough to ask, their hearts and minds opened and they blew us away with their experiences, insights and plans. We filled an issue with the answers of people we asked: Who are you? What have you learned? What difference have you made? The heart-responses of a maid we came upon cleaning a large public restroom were as significant and inspirational as the governor's.
Those really are the important questions, aren't they? We can change any conversation to a communication with them. We yearn for true connections, we want to bring down our walls, but these are really scary times. While that is true, fear and hopelessness are mind-bullies that can grow a bunch of balloons into hot-air balloons—and toss us about as if they are in charge.
Did you ever tell anyone, "You're not the boss of me!" That's what we've got to do with fear and hopelessness, "Scram! No fear here! I'm the boss of me!" Maybe then we can take an imaginary hammer to our "protection" walls and go somewhere and do something for someone else. We'll have made a difference for another, and have the satisfaction earned by giving.
Isn't it really something that God created us and needs every one of us–that we all matter? We may think we don't matter, but we couldn't be more wrong. We are loved beyond measure as individuals, and what He/She most needs is our insight, our cooperation, our service. I picture our God of Love looking down on Earth and smiling at the light and sparkling colors where we've laid in our own small pieces of His cosmic patchwork quilt.
