In Building a Solid Foundation (over at Cheerful Monk) I mentioned that one of my favorite teachers in high school had hitchhiked around Europe. That sounded like a great experience to me, but I couldn't imagine doing anything that adventuresome myself. It was too far-fetched to be even a dream.
It just goes to show how little we know. A gazillion years ago I went to Stanford-in-Germany for two quarters and at the end I had five weeks before I had to fly home. A friend of mine had a contact to visit in northern Denmark and planned to bike down the Rhine and then up to Denmark. It sounded like a great adventure and he was happy to have me share it. So we each bought a three-speed bike and took off.
Now one would expect that biking "down" the Rhine would be fairly easy. I mean it had to be downhill, right? That's certainly true, the river did flow downhill. But the road next to it, the one we biked on, was up and down, up and down. It sure seemed more up than down for our poor out-of-shape legs. We probably would have continued anyway, but by the time we got to Cologne it was clear we were going too slowly. So we revised our plan. We sold the bikes and hitchhiked instead. Hitchhiking! My too-far-fetched-to-be-even-a-dream trip. I vaguely remember it wasn't always comfortable, but that part of the experience wasn't important enough to stick in my mind. What does stick in my memory is the people who gave us rides:
- The Ranter–One of our first rides was with a German who hated America. He knew we were Americans so he expounded the whole time about how bad America was and how he hated its foreign policy. (Again, this was a gazillion years ago, when most Europeans looked at us fondly.) He even continued his diatribe when we stopped at a pub for a break and he bought us soft drinks. I still smile when I think of him. Even though he hated our country, that didn't extend to us.
- Truck Drivers–A lot of people wouldn't stop for us, of course, but truck drivers often would. Their semi-trailers had a bench seat in the back of the cab, which they were often happy to let us use. When they didn't have guests they would use it for sleeping, but I remember one time pulling off to the side of the road so the driver could sleep sitting up. That struck me as the height of hospitality.
- The Family From Hamburg–The picture above is of a family in Hamburg…we met the father in the middle of the night on a ferry from Denmark to Germany. The truck driver who had given us a ride to the ferry had told us he couldn't take us any further, so we had to find another ride while on the boat. The fellow in the picture offered to take us to Hamburg. It was much too late to go to a youth hostel, so we figured we would find our way to the train station and spend the night there. We had done it before…the seats were hard but at that time it was safe and no one would bother us. Instead of dropping us off, though, the fellow took us to his home and let us sleep in his living room. Not only that, he and his wife invited us to stay for a couple of days so we could see Hamburg. I can't remember their names, but I'll never forget them.
What I Learned
This post is a contribution to Robert Hruzek's writing challenge What I Learned From the Generosity of Others. What I learned from hitchhiking was
- That there were many people willing to reach out and help two kids on a youthful adventure.
- And that I was profoundly touched by their generosity. I hadn't realized before how deeply I cared about friendliness. Partly because of this experience I eventually understood that one of my main goals is life is simply to make my little corner of the world a more friendly and loving place.
Our culture tends to worship achievement, money and fame. I can't think of anyone I admire more than the truck driver who slept sitting up because he was letting two kids use his bench seat, or the family who shared a bit of their lives with two adventurers. I'm still grateful to them for helping me keep my priorities straight.
What About You?
Have you ever been touched by the generosity of others? How did it affect you?

NSW player Kasey Brown, the last local hope in the women's draw of the Australian Open squash tournament, was thrashed in her quarter-final in Canberra on Friday.
The 27-year-old went down to Northern Ireland's 2010 champion Madeline Perry, who produced a ruthless display to coast to a 11-4 11-5 11-6 win.
Brown's heavy defeat continued a dismal day for Australia after Donna Urquhart was forced to forfeit her match against England's Laura Massaro because of an ankle injury.
Urquhart picked up the injury during her shock win over compatriot and former world No.1 Rachael Grinham on Thursday.
Perry, a semi-finalist in Canberra last year, said she enjoys playing in the capital.
"Some courts just seem to suit you and this one has always been good for me," said Perry.
"I started well today. She couldn't seem to get in front of me because my length was so good and she couldn't attack. I could really sense she was getting frustrated."
In her semi-final, Perry will face defending champion Nicol David after the Malaysian was forced to dig deep against England's Alison Waters.
Waters, runner-up to Perry in 2010, came out firing to take the first game in a tiebreak.
The world No.1 then bounced back to take the next two and then fought off a spirited Waters to triumph 10-12 11-1 11-7 15-13.
In the other semi-final, Massaro will take on Dipika Pallikal after the Indian scored a 11-5 11-7 12-10 win over Amanda Sobhy of the US.
Sobhy was unable to repeat her heroics from the second round when she defeated second seeded Englishwoman Jenny Duncalf, with Pallikal in complete control throughout.

James Frey returning to Oprah -- UPDATE
Frey is on Oprah today, along with his publisher, Nan Talese. Oprah is a terrific interviewer so I hope she throws him some tough questions, instead of blindly defending him.
My hate/hate relationship with Oprah turned into love/hate about a year or so ago. While she is a notorious ass kisser when it comes to celebrities and many of her "tragedy" episodes are overwrought, she does take people to task in interviews quite frequently and admits mistakes when she makes them. Glad to hear she reevaluated the Frey sitation. You go girl, indeed!January 26 2006 at 12:52 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Reply
apparently she really went after him.
As of this posting I heard on the radio that Oprah has made a statement where she apologized for sticking up for Frey when she called up Larry King. SHe stated her judgement was impaired and that the truth does indeed matter.
Well, I was wrong. At least in the intro, Oprah has apologized to fans of her book club, claimed that she regrets her call to Larry King (saying her judgment was clouded), and claims "the truth matters."
That's as much humility (or honesty) as Oprah has ever displayed. Or likely ever will again.
"Oprah is a terrific interviewer."
Was this posted from "The Twilight Zone?"
Oprah is an ass-kisser who makes Kelly Ripa look like Mike Wallace.
The show, I'm sure, will be a disgusting love-fest.

K2 Spot Lite Snowboard
By evo Intern
from Seattle, WA
Comments about K2 Spot Lite Snowboard - Women's 2014:
Riding the new 2014 K2 Spot Lite Snowboard allowed me to keep up with the boys all day long. I am 5'8 and opted for the 153 which I felt was strong enough for the all mountain riding we were doing that day. I consider myself a strong rider and the Spot Lite gave me an aggressive board that had great response at high speeds. The Spot Light is smooth enough to take in the park and had great edge control for straight lining the groomers. I felt the Ollie Bar™ technology when I popped off the lip of a jump sending myself up and over and landed with ease. I highly recommend this snowboard for any progressive rider.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The following is a summary of Maine alimony laws, and is by no means intended to be an all-inclusive description of what to expect in your particular case. In some cases, the exact text of the statute may have been simplified and/or modified to provide for easier understanding. For a more specific understanding of the laws, you should consult the full Maine Code and/or consult with an attorney about how the law might apply to your particular situation.
Marriage Less than 10 Years.
There is a refutable presumption that alimony may not be awarded if the parties were married for less than 10 years. There is also a rebuttal presumption that alimony may not be awarded for a term exceeding 1/2 the length of the marriage if the parties were married for at least 10 years but not more than 20 years as of the date of the filing of the action for divorce. (i.e. if the parties were married 14 years, alimony payments should not exceed 7 years following the divorce).
If the court finds that a spousal support award based upon the above presumption would be inequitable or unjust, that finding is sufficient to rebut the applicable presumption.
Transitional or Rehabilitative Alimony.
Transitional alimony may be awarded to provide for a spouse's transitional needs, including, but not limited to:
- Short-term needs resulting from financial dislocations associated with the dissolution of the marriage; or
- Reentry or advancement in the work force, including, but not limited to, physical or emotional rehabilitation services, vocational training and education.
Reimbursement Alimony.
Reimbursement alimony may be awarded to achieve an equitable result in the overall dissolution of the parties' financial relationship in response to exceptional circumstances, only if the parties' financial circumstances do not permit the court to fully divide the parties' property in an equitable manner. Exceptional circumstances include, but are not limited to:
- Economic misconduct by a spouse; and
- Substantial contributions a spouse made towards the educational or occupational advancement of the other spouse during the marriage.
Alimony Pendente Lite.
Interim support may be awarded to provide for a spouse's separate support during a pending action for divorce or judicial separation.
Nominal support may be awarded to preserve the court's authority to grant spousal support in the future.
Alimony Guidelines.
Alimony may be awarded in Maine to provide financial assistance to a spouse with substantially less income potential than the other spouse, so that both spouses can maintain a reasonable standard of living after the divorce. Maine laws specify the following guidelines when determining an award of alimony in Maine:
- The length of the marriage;
- The ability of each party to pay;
- The age of each party;
- The employment history and employment potential of each party;
- The income history and income potential of each party;
- The education and training of each party;
- The provisions for retirement and health insurance benefits of each party;
- The tax consequences of the division of marital property, including the tax consequences of the sale of the marital home, if applicable;
- The health and disabilities of each party;
- The tax consequences of a spousal support award;
- The contributions of either party as homemaker;
- The contributions of either party to the education or earning potential of the other party;
- Economic misconduct by either party resulting in the diminution of marital property or income;
- The standard of living of the parties during the marriage;
- The ability of the party seeking support to become self-supporting within a reasonable period of time;
- The effect of the following on a party's need for spousal support or a party's ability to pay spousal support:
- Actual or potential income from marital or nonmarital property as part of the property division; and
- Child support for the support of a minor child or children of the marriage.
- Any other factors not specifically expressed in these laws that the court considers appropriate.
-From 951A of the Maine Statutes.
This information has been summarized from the Maine statutes. You can find the full-text version of these and other Maine divorce statutes online here: Maine Divorce Laws.

Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount Rainier
Elevation: 11,200'
The Four Day Summit Climb led by RMI Guides Brent Okita & Lindsay Mann were unable to summit this morning due to a lightning storm. The teams headed out of Camp Muir on two separate occasions but both times retreated to Camp Muir because of the weather. They will descend from Camp Muir around 9 a.m. We look forward to seeing the groups at Rainier BaseCamp this afternoon.
The Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz led by RMI Guide Mike Haugen reached the summit yesterday morning and returned to their high camp for a final night on the mountain. This morning they are descending to Paradise and will return to Rainier BaseCamp.
RMI Guide Garrett Stevens and the Expedition Skills Seminar - Paradise weathered the storm on the mountain last night in tents. They will be drying out today and doing more training near their camp. Tomorrow they will ascend to Camp Muir and get ready for their summit attempt.

Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra to open season in Ventura Oct. 7
Biggs' moment
The Channel Islands Chamber Orchestra plans to open and close in a Biggs way this year.
During the opening concert of its 2012-13 season on Sunday, CHICO, directed by KuanFen Liu, will celebrate the 80th birthday of Ojai composer John Biggs by performing his Concerto for Cello and Chamber Orchestra with cellist Virginia Kron, who premiered the piece in 1997 with the New West Symphony. Henning Ottsen, CHICO's board president, said the chamber group also is considering closing its concert season in the spring with Biggs' "Variations on a Theme of Shostakovich."
Biggs, who received a master's degree in composition from UCLA and has won numerous composing awards and honors, including Rockefeller and Fulbright grants, and the ASCAP Serious Music Award, hasn't retired from music. In 2011, CHICO performed the world premiere of his Concerto for Oboe, English Horn and Bassoon. Many of his symphonic, choral and stage works have been performed in the county, including "Ernest Worthing," a comic opera based on Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest."
Ottsen said the orchestra wants to celebrate Biggs not simply for his composing achievements, but "because he is such an enthusiastic supporter of live music, and has a great following in the county."
The concert program on Sunday also will feature Rossini's Overture to "L'Italiana in Algeri" and Schubert's Symphony No. 6 in C major.
Ottsen noted that CHICO itself is celebrating a birthday this year. "We're happy to be in our 10th year; we're celebrating becoming all grown up," he said, adding that for the next half of its season in 2013, the orchestra will perform at a second venue, Camarillo United Methodist Church, in addition to First United Methodist Church in Ventura.
Sunday's concert will begin at 4 p.m. at First United Methodist, 1338 E. Santa Clara St., Ventura. Child care will be available. Admission is a $20 suggested donation. For more information, call 643-8621 or visit chicovc.org.

Setting up your life policy in trust is a simple and free way to make things easier for your family if the worst happens.
From a financial point of view, setting up a life insurance policy is one of the most far-sighted steps you can take.
Making sure your partner and children would be looked after if the worst happened gives you peace of mind. Life cover means that your mortgage repayments, for example, would be dealt with if you died, so your family would not be forced to move out.
And your policy could also pay a lump sum to help your dependants cope with ongoing living expenses.
But the vast majority of life insurance policyholders are unwittingly creating potential difficulties for their families – and possibly adding thousands of pounds to their tax bills – by failing to make a simple adjustment to the way the cover is set up.
When you buy life insurance, you have the option of setting the policy up "in trust".
What this means is that the cover is essentially ring-fenced outside the rest of your assets, such as savings, investments and property. You decide in advance who is to benefit from the trust, and these people are known as the beneficiaries.
You also appoint a trustee to take charge of the trust: they are responsible for carrying out your wishes.
So what are the advantages of setting up – or "writing" – your life insurance policy in this way?
If you die and your policy is not in trust, the proceeds from it will be collected together with the rest of your estate to go through a process known as probate. This is the legal requirement to make sure your assets are divided up among the beneficiaries in accordance with your will.
In many cases, probate can take a long time – months, even – which could leave your family desperately short of cash for living and housing expenses.
If your life policy is in trust, however, the proceeds from it are allowed to sidestep the probate process and can be paid directly and immediately to those who need the money most.
For example, if you have young children you can stipulate that any money held in the trust from a life-insurance payout passes directly to them. You can also dictate when they receive it, such as when they turn 18 or 21.
Imagine you had assets of £250,000 plus a life insurance payment of a further £150,000 when you died. This would give you a total estate value of £400,000.
At present, the nil-rate band on inheritance tax is £325,000 per person: any bequest above this level is taxed at 40 per cent.
In this example, that would create an inheritance tax bill of £30,000.
However, if your policy was written in trust it would not count towards your estate and your family's tax bill would be zero.
(There are other ways to cut inheritance tax: for example married couples can pool their nil-rate bands.)
Despite these potential benefits, only around one in every 15 UK life insurance policies is set up in trust, according to recent figures from insurer Aegon.
When you have found a life insurance quote that you are happy with, you should talk to the provider about setting the policy up in trust. This should not cost extra.
Using a trust is not always the best option – for example, if you have taken out a policy solely to cover your mortgage commitment. This is something the insurer will be able to guide you on.

As this procedure is legal why do we have to do it. Especially if, when it is not followed it puts the individual at a disadvantage. Is it because there is money to be made by the government when this procedure is not practiced??? The tax system is too complicated only the very wealthy can afford expert advice to reduce their tax bills.

Thanks for this information. I have had a life insurance policy for many years. Our mortgage is paid off so the money will come to my wife (or my estate if she has died first). Can I simply contact my insurer now and ask for it to be put in trust? Or must this be done only when the policy is taken out? Do I have to contact a solicitor to arrange this step? if so there will be a charge of course.

Wedding season is officially in full swing, and with wedding season, comes wedding shower season. Wedding showers are some of my favorite parties to attend; everyone is happy, there are amazing finger foods (hello cucumber sammies!), and who doesn't love a good sparkling punch?
Ironically, with wedding season comes the rainy season. Those unexpected late afternoon showers can really put a damper on lovely outdoor garden parties…and those pumps you bought especially for your shower-stunner frock. Your toes sink into the ground, and you end up aerating the ground with your heels (instead of the landscaper). Keep a pair of Fit in Clouds in your clutch for a quick fix. Toss your heels under a table, slip on some comfy flats, and continue mingling with the bride and her maids. You'll be prepared for anything!

Hawaii Supreme Court approves Workman's Compensation for vog victimUPDATED 7:16 PM HST Jan 24, 2014
A former Hawaii state worker is about to start receiving workman's comp because breathing vog on the job made his asthma worse.Video Transcript
for a lot of people... but for some... it might also be the basis for a workman's comp claim! That's what The Hawaii Supreme Court said in a ruling that could have a big ripple effect! KITV-4's Andrew Pereira goes in-depth ... Andrew? Kenny, Yunji... The ruling is likely to have broad implications for both government and private-sector workers in Hawaii. van ness fs path: O:GraphicsNEW SGFX2 014January24 - FridayVan Ness FS page tear quote path: O:GraphicsNEWSGFX2 014January24 - FridayVog Tear Quote Vog can make for gorgeous sunsets... But it can also do a number on your lungs ... A former state worker is about to start receiving workman's comp because breathing vog on the job made his asthma worse. The Hawaii Supreme Court issued the ruling Thursday. ELIZABETH JUBIN FUJIWARA: "I THINK IT'S UNUSUAL IN THE SENSE THAT IT'S SO CLEAR AND IN FAVOR OF THE WORKERS." The case involves Lynedon Van Ness, who's 54 years old. He's a former DOE Worker at Lahainaluna High School on Maui, who's now Living on the Mainland. He filed a workers' compensation claim in September, 2007 after claiming vog made his asthma significantly worse from October, 2005 through April, 2006. Van Ness says he worked mostly outside since he had to go from classroom to classroom to service computers. Van Ness said, " basically reduced the amount of air I was able to breathe." DR. RONALD KURODA: "THOSE PEOPLE ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR LUNGS TO BEGIN WITH, BUT BEING OUTSIDE WITH THE VOG AND THE IRRITABILITY, MAKES THEM MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HAVING ATTACKS OF THEIR ASTHMA." Even though other Maui residents were breathing the same vog as Van Ness, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled in his favor because of the nature of his employment. ELIZABETH JUBIN FUJIWARA: "IT'S VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS SOME TYPE OF EXACERBATION." ANDREW PEREIRA: "STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL DAVID LOUIE TOLD THE HONOLULU STAR ADVERTISER THAT VAN NESS' CASE IS NOT APPLICABLE TO OTHER EMPLOYEES OR EMPLOYERS. HOWEVER THE LABOR ATTORNEYS WE SPOKE TO SAID THAT'S NOT THE CASE." ELIZABETH JUBIN FUJIWARA: ALL YOU NEED IS FOR THE INJURY TO HAVE FLOWED FROM THE WORK CONDITION, OR THE DISEASE TO HAVE FLOWED FROM THE WORK CONDITION. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED." JOSEPH ROSENBAUM: "I THINK THE COURT IS CLEARLY STATING THAT VOG IS THIS FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCE CAN GIVE RISE TO A WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIM WHEN IT EXACERBATES A CONDITION." The Hawaii Supreme court ordered the Labor Industrial Relations Appeals Board to pay Van Ness' claim. We reached out to his attorney, but did not get a call back. The Ag's office issued a response to our inquiry just about 10 minutes ago, saying it's the unique circumstances of Van Ness' case that led to the high court's decision. Yunji, Kenny?

Accountability, not finances, issue in AISD PE
Local educators call for increased accountability
It's a unique time to be a physical education teacher or administrator in Texas.
While statewide budget cuts to education are putting a strain on PE-related programs in public schools, there's more concern than ever about childhood obesity.
While educators face many challenges in keeping kids physically active in school, area physical education advocates say PE programs can be successful with teamwork and accountability.
Jody Anderson sees budget cuts and increased pressure to perform as a challenge, one she hopes Abilene Independent School District can handle gracefully and responsibly in the coming years. She is a PE teacher at Clack Middle School and the newly appointed health coordinator for all secondary campuses in the district.
"I think PE is what you make it," she said. "If you're dedicated, and you believe in what you're doing, you can have the best program around. Money is good but you don't have to have it to have a successful program."
In Anderson's opinion, it's not a lack of funding that is the biggest problem for PE within the district, it's a lack of accountability among teachers and administrators.
"We have a stereotype in our district of teachers who just roll the ball out," she said, "I'm not going to lie."
She started working for the district in 1994 and took over this year as health coordinator. Her plan is to make PE work for kids in the midst of budget cuts by personally holding other PE teachers accountable and asking parents to hold administrators accountable.
"It's not a money issue. It's an accountability issue," she said. "We want the respect of core teachers but right now we're not willing to put in the same amount of work as core teachers. We won't get that respect unless we do put in all the work."
That means taking the time to make lesson plans and taking grading seriously, things she believes some teachers in the district are failing to do.
It's not only AISD that is facing challenges when it comes to keeping kids physically fit.
Bob Sanderson spent 34 years coaching and teaching physical education and retired from AISD two years ago. Now, he teaches classes at area universities and is the current president of a statewide professional association called Texas Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, which advocates youth fitness.
The organization mostly is made up of individuals who are employed in physical education programs in public or private schools serving students from kindergarten through college.
Sanderson said he knows from his decades of experience in physical education in the state that the challenges AISD faces in PE are challenges faced across the board in almost every school in Texas.
Some of the problems Sanderson sees with PE in the state, he said, are a lack of funding, a lack of professionalism and a lack of commitment and importance administration puts on physical education programs. Administration often looks at physical education as a "stepchild," he said.
"Yet research shows the importance of it, research definitely shows there's a positive correlation between higher fitness levels and success in the classroom," he said. "The better fitness a child has, the more success they have in the classroom, the higher test scores they achieve. There's lots and lots of research out there that supports that. Then with the public being aware of all these studies and all these reports that come out about how severe our obesity problem is and the health-related issues that go along with that, it amazes me that the schools don't set a higher priority, that our state education agency doesn't set a higher priority."
The Department of Health and Human Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention both report that regular physical activity enhances students' overall academic performance by improving achievement, grades, behavior and helping with concentration and attentiveness in the classroom. These statistics, Sanderson said, prove physical fitness of youths should be made a much higher priority.
"The knowledge they gain from you teaching them physical education is going to carry a lifetime," he said.
He agrees with Anderson that there is a lack of accountability, and Sanderson said he believes PE teachers should not need more funding or more supervision to do a good job.
"Teachers are professionals," he said. "They can do a lot more with less than they're currently doing. That goes back to the importance of it. How important is that PE class compared to the other responsibilities they have?"
Within the 17,000-student Abilene ISD, there are 66 PE teachers. Fifty of those teach only physical education; the other 16 also have academic classes.
There are 8,336 elementary PE students, 1,913 middle school PE students and 493 high school PE students in the district.
Pug Parris is a professor and the department chair for the kinesiology department at McMurry University. She speaks at conferences and workshops to help train elementary PE teachers and believes the No. 1 issue physical educators face today is "a generational black eye."
Many people don't take youth PE seriously, she said, and parents and teachers alike give children excuses not to participate. Although she doesn't believe public school PE programs alone can make children healthy, she said school programs can do a lot of good with the support of others.
"People have got to hold schools accountable to what the mission of physical education is," she said. "It's not about preparing future athletes, it's not about keeping kids good, busy, happy and outside the principal's office. It's about teaching goals, being educationally sound and we need to make sure we hire the certified teachers to deliver that."
PE within the district serves multiple purposes. In addition to studies that show physical activity improves classroom performance, the state mandates it. Also, Anderson, Sanderson and Parris all agreed there is a tremendous responsibility to instill in children a love of physical activity to last a lifetime. Some believe this is the responsibility of parents, not educators.
Diana Everett, executive director of the statewide fitness organization, addressed that issue via email.
She believes health and wellness for youths in the state has seen a lot of positive changes in the past 10 years. Texas now mandates PE in public schools and ensures classroom time is provided for students to learn about health and wellness. However, most of the personnel cuts have been in the areas of physical education, music and art, she said, and the PE teachers who remain are spread thin in providing beneficial classes to students.
"The big picture for physical education in Texas is that there is not enough time dedicated for physical education classes," she said. "Naysayers will state that the physical condition of students is the responsibility of parents not the schools. However, with so many parents being obese and making poor health choices for themselves and their children, it is the education of students in school that will defeat the obesity crisis we are experiencing in America."
Of all the reasons to care about providing sound physical education to students, Anderson said she feels a responsibility to oversee the well-being of students.
"Look at the news," she said. "The obesity, kids are just miserable. PE is an outlet for some of these kids. We have kids who have done nothing, some have never played an organized sport in their life. I can get 60 kids out here and ask how many of them have played volleyball before and out of all of them maybe one or two raise their hands."
Anderson said she understands that just like in academics, not every PE teacher will be excited about his or her job and feel a responsibility to help raise healthy children, but she feels there's room for improvement.
"It has gotten a little better, but we've got to be held accountable," she said. "Somebody has to say, 'You're gonna do this or we'll find someone else who will.' "
She invites parents to come to any PE class she teaches, she said, and welcomes them to watch what their children do in class.
"Parents should start asking questions," she said. "If kids come home and say they do nothing in their PE class, call the school. Ask about it."

Deserted by Doctors, India's Poor Turn to Quacks
By CELIA W. DUGGER
Published: March 25, 2004
BHOMATAWARA, India— The sturdy little public clinic in this poor, sickly village was locked up one recent afternoon, but that is nothing remarkable. Rampant absenteeism among government doctors and nurses is an open secret across India and much of the developing world, and they virtually never get in trouble for not showing up.
''Sometimes the nurse is here, sometime she's not,'' said Nagji Lal Pandore, a skinny old man in a saffron turban. ''Sometimes she has medicines, sometimes she doesn't. Why take a chance?''
So, like many people here, his family has turned to amateur private ''doctors'' who have regular hours and plentiful medications to sell.
His daughter-in-law Shanti Bai, 30, went to such a doctor for a fever six months ago. He gave her an injection. The next day, she was dead and her children motherless.
Villagers blamed the doctor and he fled, but the heartache remains. Mr. Pandore and his wife have broken the news to their 5-year-old grandson, but they are still telling their 3-year-old granddaughter that her mother is away on a trip. ''She cries and cries and asks, 'Where is my mother?' '' he said.
India has a vast primary health care system to serve its billion people, with clinics for every 3,000 to 5,000. But the system is often just a skeleton. New studies have documented the startling, damaging dimensions of chronic absenteeism -- and not just in India.
Researchers for the World Bank discovered through large national surveys that medical personnel were absent from their public posts 35 to 40 percent of the time in India, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Uganda, and about a quarter of the time in Peru.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton, in a detailed survey of 100 villages here in Rajasthan, in north India, found a no-show rate of 44 percent. When combined with absences for meetings and other work-related reasons, these vital clinics were closed more than half the time.
As the United Nations leads a global effort to prevent millions of deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and a range of childhood illnesses, the fissures in public health systems are emerging as a main obstacle.
There is an increasingly heated debate among experts about whether multibillion-dollar infusions of foreign aid or politically sensitive domestic reforms are more central to repairing public health systems.
What is starkly clear in India, home to more poor people than any other country, is that the health system is both starved for resources and desperately in need of reform.
Here in the villages outside Udaipur, one of India's loveliest tourist destinations, rough-hewn clinics for the rural poor generally have no phones, no vehicles, no running water. Most have no electricity. On a recent day, they lacked syrup-based medicines to treat young children for fevers, vomiting, coughs and respiratory infections. Some nurses said they had run out of the basic pills provided by the government.
India's public health spending is among the lowest in the world -- $4 a person per year, less than 1 percent of its gross domestic product, the United Nations Development Program says. The United States spends about $2,000 a person, or almost 6 percent of gross domestic product.
But India's experience also shows that more money alone is not the answer. India sharply increased its health spending in the 1990's, but most went for new hiring and for pay raises to those doctors and nurses who are not showing up for work, according to a World Bank analysis.
The dramatic progress in reducing infant mortality in the 1980's slowed in the 1990's, while mortality for children under 5 did not improve at all.
The economists coordinating the research here -- Professors Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, co-founders of the Poverty Action Lab at M.I.T., and Angus Deaton at Princeton -- will work with 120 villages and 100 clinics.
They will add a nurse to each clinic and monitor attendance through a punch clock or dated digital photographs. They also will try chlorinating contaminated well water, fortifying flour with iron to fight anemia and paying parents to have their children immunized.
They will try each strategy in half the villages or clinics, then compare the health of people in villages that got the help with those that did not.
What is here now is not working very well. The survey and accompanying blood tests of villagers found that most people were scrawny and weakened by anemia. Three out of 10 said they had trouble mustering the strength to walk a couple of miles or draw water from a well.
But when asked to rate their health on a scale of 1 to 10, most placed themselves in the middle.
''Their health is awful and their health care even worse,'' said Professor Deaton, an expert on Indian poverty. ''They know they're really poor, but they don't know they're really sick. One of the things that drives some of us to despair is that this isn't a political issue among them.''
In Bhomatawara, where the young mother, Shanti Bai, died, villagers say the government nurse is often not at the clinic. On three visits to the village, she was never there.

Cambridge cyclists celebrate council's cycle lane decision
Controversial scheme gets go-ahead, but no reduced speed limits for now
Cyclists in Cambridge are celebrating after the County Council's cabinet last night voted to adopt a controversial scheme that will see 1.7-metre wide cycle lanes installed along Gilbert Road and the enforcement of a 24-hour ban on parking along the cycle lanes and the neighbouring grass verges.
Adoption of the scheme follows an often heated campaign by supporters led by Cambridge Cycling Campaign and local schools, and opponents including some local residents, as previously reported on road.cc.
However, for the time being, the Council has decided against introducing a proposed speed reduction on the street, although it will be keeping an eye on the situation to decide whether such a move is needed once the cycle lanes are in place.
According to the Cambridge Cycling Campaign, rejection of the lower speed limit will be met with disappointment by many of those who live on the road, almost all of whom responded to the Council's consultation, with 55% in favour of the move.
A spokesman for Cambridge Cycling Campaign said that the organisation welcomed the introduction of the cycle lane, saying: "Gilbert Road lies on an important through-route for cyclists which will become even more important when the new developments north of Gilbert Road are built."
He continued: "More than 1,800 children attend schools close to Gilbert Road and they will now be able to cycle safely to school without breaking the law by cycling on the pavements. We have fought for this ever since the Campaign was founded and we congratulate the Council for their decision."

Eirian Jones is awarded an MPhil
© Tim Jones 2008
Congratulations to Eirian Jones, who was recently awarded an MPhil from the School of Welsh for her research into the life and work of Ceredigion folk poet B.T. Hopkins.
Eirian will be busy again this summer umpiring at Wimbledon for the eleventh year running.
Having joined the Association of British Tennis Officials fourteen years ago, Eirian spent some time officiating at club tournaments and lower level events before receiving her first Wimbledon call for the 1998 Championships. Returning every year since then, she has been witness to numerous changes at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, including the new No. 1 Court and the introduction of umpire uniforms by Ralph Lauren.
With research from Cardiff School of Social Sciences recently advising that the Hawk-Eye system, used to supplement decision-making by umpires, should come with a 'health' warning attached, attention on the judgment calls made by Eirian and her colleagues will be closer than ever this year.
Eirian said: "Some days, the atmosphere on Centre Court is akin to a cauldron and it can be difficult to dismiss from your mind the millions of people who are watching all around the world on television".
Clearly enjoying her hobby in spite of the pressures involved, she added: "Despite the nerves, the odd bruise and trying to keep my uniform pristine for the two weeks, I couldn't miss this annual experience".

WAGGAMAN, LA (UAPB) - Lydell Hartford, Jr., freshman linebacker for the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff football team died yesterday in a fatal accident in Waggaman, Louisiana. Coaches and administrators at UAPB are saddened by the details of the accident released by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office (JPSO).
According to authorities, a 16-year-old boy identified as Hartford's friend was playing with a gun and accidentally shot and killed him early Tuesday morning. Hartford, 20, was pronounced dead after suffering a gunshot wound to the neck, according to Glen T. Boyd, spokesman for the JPSO.
Hartford and the teen were inside of a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro belonging to Hartford's mother. The car was parked in the driveway of Hartford's home, Boyd said. The teen discovered a .38-caiber pistol that also belonged to Hartford's mother inside the car and began to remove the bullets. Hartford warned him to stop, but the teen ignored Hartford and kept unloading bullets until he thought the gun was empty. The boy squeezed the trigger three or four times until the pistol fired a bullet that hit Hartford in the neck. The teen pulled him out of the vehicle and laid him on the driveway. Hartford died about an hour later, Boyd said.
The 16-year-old boy was arrested and booked with negligent homicide. The Sheriff's Office is not identifying the teen because he is a juvenile.
"It is a shock to us all," said UAPB Chancellor Dr. Laurence Alexander. "We are saddened by the news of his death and offer our condolences, thoughts, and prayers to his family and friends during this difficult time."
"Our hearts and prayers really go out to Hartford and his family," said Head Football Coach Monte Coleman.
"He was proud to be a part of the team-I am sad to see another young person leave this earth too soon. He will be missed."
UAPB Offensive Coordinator Eric Dooley, also a New Orleans native, knew the school Hartford came from and is well acquainted with his family. He didn't work directly with him at practices and games, but noticed he did everything you asked of him.
UAPB Defensive Coordinator Earl Buckingham worked directly with Hartford and will remember him for his dedication to the team.
"He was a good kid and loved being on the team," said Buckingham. "Our team is hurting and offers our condolences to his family and all those that knew him."

Lieberman Back on Hill to Warn of 'Rapidly Spreading' Islamist Threat
In first hearing on Boston bombings, former senator says "it was possible to have prevented" attack and questions why mosque that says it threw out Tamerlan Tsarnaev didn't report him.
May 9, 2013 - 10:02 pm
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said the bombings showed "we certainly need to enlist the community better."
"And the points about identifying radical extremism and ferreting that out, the first thing we need to do is go to the community. We need to explain to the community that they have a responsibility to their community and to their nation and to what's right to report the kind of activity that these brothers were involved in prior to the incident. And I think that's the first line of defense," he said.
"…The truth of the matter is, nobody bats 1,000, and I think that as a nation we need to comes to terms with it and do everything we can to prevent it, but also recognize that fusion centers and intelligence analysis and joint terrorism task forces are part of our future."
"Before the bombing, were you aware of the Russian intelligence warning regarding Tamerlan and the fact that he may travel overseas to meet with extremists?" McCaul asked Davis.
"We have three detectives and a sergeant who were assigned to the joint terrorism task force. One of my detectives is actually in the squad that investigated that," Davis said. "We have access to all the databases. But we were not, in fact, informed of that particular development."
The commissioner said the information about Tsarnaev started to flow into his department the morning after the shootout in Watertown, Mass., in which the suspect was killed.
"In this case, aggravatingly, you have two of our great homeland security agencies that didn't involve, before the event, the local and state authorities that could have helped us prevent the attack on the marathon," Lieberman said.
"…We're in a war. And, as I said, it's against an ideology that is not receding. It's spreading. And it's taking a very difficult turn, which is, as we saw in Boston case, because — the only three attacks against America, terrorist attacks that have succeeded since 9/11, are homegrown terrorists."
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) asked Davis if anyone from the local mosque came forward to identify either of the brothers after the photos of the suspects were made public.
"I don't — I'm not certain of that. I don't know of anyone that did, but I know that there was some conversation with a group we — that we meet with frequently from the mosques," Davis responded, promising to check on whether any specific tips were received from the mosque.
The commissioner did know with certainty, though, that no students from UMass Dartmouth came forward to identify Dzohkhar Tsarnaev.
King noted to Lieberman that, unlike anyone in the Obama administration, the former senator freely used the terms "violent Islamist ideology" and "violent Islamist extremism."
"It was self-evidently and publicly violent Islamist extremism that led to the attacks on us on 9/11/01 and didn't take detective work. Osama bin Laden and everybody else declared that to be the purpose. They want to bring down America and our civilization. And I — you know, it's the old Chinese wisdom a millennia ago: The first thing you gotta know in war is your enemy is. And you have to call it by its name," Lieberman said.
Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) asked Davis if, at this point, there's "any mass labeling of the Muslim community in Boston."
"That's always a concern of ours. I've met with members of that community, and they're concerned about it. But there have been no incidents reported to me," he responded.
Jackson Lee chided the committee that "this is not a place to raise a partisan divide between Congress and the administration. This is a place to stand against this ever happening again."
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) asked Lieberman why he believes this administration is unwilling to use the term "radical Islam" to describe these acts of terror.
"What is gained by the president's refusal to appropriately describe jihad as expressed by radical Islamist extremists as their motivation for attacking the United States and other free nations?" Perry said.
"Well, I don't know. In other words, this is a debate that I had over the years in my time in the Senate and particularly with this administration," Lieberman responded.
"The sad fact is today that most terrorists that we're dealing with in America are inspired by this violent Islamic extremist ideology," he added. "You have to recognize that to deal with them."

The Seven Chakras in Human Body
Teaching of Chakras and Aura became part of Reiki training after Mrs. Takata passed away in 1980. I teach this topic in Reiki First Degree course (Level 1) in detail. Seeking information about chakras and aura through Internet seems quite popular. Commonly used search words and phrases are colors of chakras, location of chakras, seven fields of aura, what is aura etc. but treatment of chakras does not sound as popular, which is in fact more important than mere information. Some of my students show extra ordinary interest in chakras and start questioning about them just in the beginning of my talk. The information given below has been taken from various books and is based on generally prevailing concepts.
What are Chakras?
The human being consists of mainly two bodies, namely the physical body and the spiritual body. The spiritual body is composed of vibrations of light, which are structured in a way so that they create a large number of different energy centers. These energy centers are referred to as chakras. Chakra is a Sanskrit word, which means a wheel. There are countless chakras in the human body. In fact every cell of the body is an energy center but out of all, seven are considered as main energy centers or chakras. All these seven chakras are located in a straight line along the spine, beginning at the base of the spine and finishing over the top of the head. They keep rotating and generating energy, which looks after physical, intellectual and emotional functions of our body, mind and spirit. This energy is perceived as light by the spiritual eye.
Chakras are not physical in nature while the body cells are. Therefore, chakras cannot be seen like other parts of the body through physical eye or X-ray machine etc. The system of chakras was perceived (or discovered) by the Indian Yogis thousands of years back when the science was in its very initial stages but the wheel had been invented. Since a wheel rotated and the chakras also rotate, they were referred to as wheels. The seven traditionally known chakras correspond to various endocrine glands as follows:
Root Chakra: Adrenal glands
Sacral Chakra: Glands associated with reproductive organs
Solar Plexus: Pancreas
Heart Chakra: Thymus gland
Throat Chakra: Thyroid
Third eye Chakra: Pineal gland
Crown Chakra: Pituitary gland
There is lot of information available on this topic both in books as well as on Internet but there are also certain myths floating around. For example, one of those was that Chakras are outside the body in the aura, not inside. This is not true; they are not outside the body.
Colors and Speed of Chakras
Each chakra has a color and an element of nature associated with it. The colors are in the order of the rainbow colors beginning with the Root Chakra: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each chakra (in fact the energy in each chakra) vibrates and rotates at a different speed. The root or first Chakra rotates at the slowest speed and the Crown or Seventh Chakra at the highest. All chakras should be in harmony with each other. A chakra may start moving too fast creating excessive energy or too slow creating deficient energy or may get altogether blocked. These two conditions are not normal. If flow of the life force energy through a chakra is not normal, the results will be different to the normal functions of that particular chakra. Such chakras must be treated and balanced.

Marco Island 35, Oasis 7
CAPE CORAL — Marco Island Academy's spring game was a far cry from a 55-0 loss it suffered at the hands of Oasis Charter in their first-ever football game last August.
"We paid our dues," coach Andy Delgado said of last season's 2-8 record in a mixed schedule of JV and varsity games.
Thursday night, the Manta Rays beat Oasis, 35-7. The game marked MIA's first win on the field against a varsity team. Last season, the Manta Rays won one varsity game by forfeit.
Marco Island Academy dominated in every aspect of the game.
Jared Jackson and Cole Stretton split quarterback and running back chores, with each producing 50-yard touchdowns. Jackson rolled over the defense, while Stretton cut and spun away from defenders.
Adam Lowery's defense dominated on the line, with tackle Colby Jones controlling the middle. Jackson intercepted two passes, one for a touchdown.
Oasis Charter scored first, capping a 60-yard drive on a 2-yard quarterback sneak by Pierson Wicker.
From that time on, it was all Marco Island Academy.
In the next offensive series the Manta Rays moved down the field on runs. Stretton ran for 37 yards and Jackson ran for 41, taking the ball into the end zone from 12 yards out.
Jackson tallied three touchdowns and Stretton one, while Nick Dotson charged in for the final score from 8 yards out.
Anton Mertens, a soccer player turned kicker, made good on all five extra points.
The teams will meet again in the fall as Oasis Charter travels to Marco island for the team' opening game of the season.

Archive for the 'Abarth OT 1000' tag
Sampling Carlo's accomplishments
It was more than a year ago now we dove into Chrysler's media site and mined a few vintage Fiat 500 photos, and now we see that Chrysler's gone and added a few more of interest, mostly focused on Carlo Abarth and the cars he built using Fiat mechanical bits. Above, a 1965 publicity shot, likely taken to help introduce the Abarth OT 1000 directly behind Sr. Abarth. Interestingly, we see a few more 850-series Fiats in the photo, all of which were also new that year, but they're not all together, as one would expect: an 850 spider sits up front, but far in the back we see an 850 coupe and what appears to be an 850 OT saloon.
Nine years prior, Abarth himself piloted this Franco Scaglione-designed Bertone-bodied Fiat Abarth 750 to take the a number of various records at Monza. A series of such streamlined record cars followed over the next decade or so, including the couple seen in the lead photo.
Also at Monza, this group of Fiat 600-based Abarths testing the banks in 1966.
And finally, a lone Fiat 600-based Abarth racing an unidentified rally in 1965. We'd guess Monte Carlo, based on the Nice imprint in the corner, but we don't see the characteristic rally plate. Practice run, perhaps?

Susan Boyle is going to Dancing with the Stars
Luckily for Susan, Sharon Osbourne will not be on the show. Or maybe it's lucky for Sharon because after the horrible things she said about SB, Susan would probably deck her if she had the chance. Last week, while on Sirius radio, Sharon was compelled to share her opinion of Susan's sudden success.
Osbourne conceded that Susan is talented. But then Sharon talked about Boyle's looks. "She is a lovely lady. You just want to say 'God bless' and here's a Gillette razor. ...[God] gave her the talent. But he hit her with a fuc**ng ...ugly stick."
Now, I don't want to stoop to Sharon's level, but isn't there a saying about "He without sins should caste the first stones"? Has Sharon taken a good look at her children? I wouldn't call Kelly and Jack, Barbie and Ken dolls. And Sharon's admitted that she's had cosmetic surgery. Was it really necessary to attack Susan Boyle for her appearance.
Perhaps Simon Cowell said it best. When he heard about Sharon's zingers, he said of Sharon, "This is so typical of Sharon. She never knows when to keep her mouth shut.
