MADISON, Wis. -- Tickets are now on sale for the big hockey event of the season when the Badgers face off against Minnesota Feb. 17 in the OfficeMax Hockey City Classic at Soldier Field in Chicago. The game continues the celebration of the 50th season in the modern era of Badger hockey. The UW team will wear special commemorative uniforms that day as well.
The OfficeMax Hockey City Classic marks the third time in eight seasons that the Wisconsin hockey program will play one of its games outdoors. The Badgers defeated Ohio State, 4-2, in the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic at Lambeau Field in 2006 and beat Michigan, 3-2, at the Culver's Camp Randall Hockey Classic in 2010.
This event features two matchups, with Notre Dame taking on Miami (Ohio) at 12 p.m. (CT), then Minnesota and Wisconsin set to follow at 3:30 p.m. (CT).
The four teams competing in the Hockey City Classic have a combined 36 Frozen Four appearances and 11 National Championship titles. Each year since 2008, at least one Hockey City Classic participant has made an appearance in the NCAA Frozen Four, including most recently: Minnesota in 2012, Notre Dame in 2011 and both Wisconsin and Miami in 2010. The Hockey City Classic will be the first outdoor game in the modern era for three of the four participants - Miami, Minnesota and Notre Dame.
Tickets for the Hockey City Classic are on sale to the general public through Ticketmaster.com. For information, including ticket sales, breaking news and schedule information, register for updates at hockeycityclassic.com. You can also find information on Facebook (Facebook.com/HockeyCityClassic) and on Twitter (@HkyCityClassic).
Throwing back to one of the earliest eras of the UW hockey program, the alternate uniforms are reproductions of those worn by Wisconsin's 1931-32 team, which can also be seen featured in the background on this season's team poster.
Inside the collar of the uniforms are the words, "It's a great day for hockey." Hemmed into the bottom of each is the date of the game and the teams participating, along with the logo featured outside of actual Soldier Field.
The commemorative jersey is now available at Buckyslockerroom.com.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Massena native Matt Hatch, who was a senior forward on Union College's men's hockey national championship team, signed a free-agent contract Tuesday with the Philadelphia Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate in Lehigh Valley.
Hatch, who is 24, scored 13 goals this season and added four more in the post season. In 148 career games he scored 34 goals with 39 assists.
Hatch helped lead Massena to a state hockey championship in 2008.
"He's a gritty kid with high-end speed," Flyers GM Ron Hextall said.
Hatch is the second Union player in the Flyers' organization, joining defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere.
Hextall said it was doubtful Hatch would be at the Flyers' training camp, but he didn't rule it out.
Four players from Union have signed with NHL teams or their affiliates.
Hatch is the son of Brian and Tina Hatch of Massena.

Not 'Deregulation,' But Smart Regulation
11:05 AM, Oct 5, 2012 • By ADAM J. WHITE
A few years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency lost a string of high-profile lawsuits brought by environmentalists challenging the Bush administration's regulations. And in certain circles, it was fashionable to cite those as proof of the Bush EPA's incompetence if not its utter corruption.
In a much heralded law review article, for example, Harvard's Jody Freeman and Adrian Vermeule wrote that the Bush administration's record illustrated the problem of "politicization of expertise," and that serious judicial review of regulatory decisions would help to ensure that "expertise," not politics, would prevail.
With those memories still reasonably fresh, it has been quite interesting to watch the Obama Administration suffer loss after loss in the federal courts, as it attempts to defend burdensome regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and other agencies
The administration suffered perhaps its most significant loss last summer, when the D.C. Circuit struck down the SEC's "proxy access rule," published in the aftermath of Dodd-Frank to give shareholders a stronger hand in placing directors on corporate boards. In that case, Business Roundtable v. SEC, the court ruled that the agency failed to adequately consider the regulations' effects on "efficiency, competition, and capital formation," as required by statute.
That decision, and other court cases, allegedly have caused the CFTC and SEC to slow down the regulatory process so that regulators can undertake much more serious analyses of the costs and benefits of upcoming Dodd-Frank regulations.
If the administration's courtroom losses truly had that effect, then it is cause for celebration. The agencies' treatment of costs and benefits have been notoriously lousy.
Last year, for example, the CFTC's inspector general reported that the CFTC had treated cost-benefit analysis as little more than a pro forma exercise, rather than a serious protection of the public interest; its cost-benefit analysis process had been driven largely by lawyers, not economists. CFTC Commissioner Jill Sommers concurred with that assessment, telling Risk Magazine that her agency's analysis of the costs and benefits of Dodd-Frank regulations had been "fairly non-existent."
In short, the Obama administration's record on Dodd-Frank and other regulatory matters strikingly resembled the very ills previously decried by Harvard's Freeman (who eventually joined the White House in 2009), Vermeule, and others: namely, the supremacy of politics, not expertise, in the regulatory process.
But, unsurprisingly, the Bush administration's critics have not exactly celebrated the courts' "expertise-forcing" decisions against the Obama administration. Where the New York Times's editorial page once applauded the D.C. Circuit for striking down Bush administration rules, the Times's Floyd Norris recently denounced the court's judges as "judicial activists who seem quite willing to negate, on technical grounds, any regulations they do not like."

Athletic hit half-dozen
Posted: December 06, 2012|
TIMSBURY ATHLETIC Two goals apiece from Lewis Bond- Kendall, Harry Leakey and Adam Barrett earned Timsbury Athletic under-12s a 6-3 victory over a determined Chilcompton side.
Athletic hit the post inside the first five minutes before Bond-Kendall opened the scoring when he swept home Luke Garland's cross.
Leakey's fierce strike made it 2-0 before Billy Bridges pulled one back. The industrious Barrett was rewarded for his hard work when he slotted Timsbury's third and Leakey added another before Reece Nichols struck for Chilcompton.
With Adam Stanley finding space on the left, Timsbury continued to threaten in the second half and Bond-Kendall fired a free-kick into the top corner. Barrett then finished off a fine move but Chilcompton's Darcy Baber had the last word.

Jean Baudrillard - AMERICA - Excerpts 1
Translated by Chris Turner
excerpts compiled by Erik Haugsjaa (1999)
From America, Verso, London and New York 1998
...This is echoed by the other obsession: that of being 'into', hooked in toyour own brain. What people are contemplating on their word-processor screensis the operation of their own brains. It is not entrails that we try to interpretthese days, nor even hearts or facial expressions; it is, quite simply, the brain.We want to expose to view its billions of connections and watch itoperating like a video-game. All this cerebral, electronic snobbery ishugely affected - far from being the sign of a superior knowledge ofhumanity, it is merely the mark of a simplified theory, since the humanbeing is here reduced to the terminal excrescence of his or her spinal chord.But we should not worry too much about this: it is all much less scientific,less functional than is ordinarily thought. All that fascinates us is thespectacle of the brain and its workings. What we are wanting here is to seeour thoughts unfolding before us - and this itself is a superstition.
Hence, the academic grappling with his computer, ceaselessly correcting,reworking, and complexifying, turning the exercise into a kind ofinterminable psychoanalysis, memorizing everything in an effort to escapethe final outcome, to delay the day of reckoning of death, and that other -fatal - moment of reckoning that is writing, by forming an endless feed-backloop with the machine. This is a marvellous instrument of exoteric magic. Infact all these interactions come down in the end to endless exchanges with amachine. Just look at the child sitting in front of his computer at school; doyou think he has been made interactive, opened up to the world? Child andmachine have merely been joined together in an integrated circuit. As for theintellectual, he has at last found the equivalent of what the teenager getsfrom his stereo and his walkman: a spectacular desublimation of thought,his concepts as images on a screen.
...You stop a horse that is bolting. You do not stop a jogger who is jogging.Foaming at the mouth, his mind riveted on the inner countdown to themoment when he will acheive a higher plane of consciousness, he is not tobe stopped. If you stopped him to ask the time, he would bite yourhead off. He doesn't have a bit between his teeth, though he may perhaps be carryingdumb-bells or even weights in his belt (where are the days when girls usedto wear bracelets on their ankles?). What the third-century Stylite sought inself-privation and proud stillness, he is seeking through the muscularexhaustion of his body. He is the brother in mortification of those whoconscientiously exhaust themselves in the body-building studios on com-plicated machines with chrome pulleys and on terrifying medical contraptions.There is a direct line that runs from the medieval instruments of torture, viathe industrial movements of production-line work, to the techniques ofschooling the body by using mechanical apparatuses. Like dieting, body-building, and so many other things, jogging is a new form of voluntaryservitude (it is also a new form of adultery).
Decidedly, joggers are the true Latter Day Saints and the protagonistsof an easy-does-it Apocalypse. Nothing evokes the end of the world morethan a man running straight ahead on a beach, swathed in the sounds of hiswalkman, cocooned in the solitary sacrifice of his energy, indifferent even tocatastrophes since he expects destruction to come only as the fruit of hisown efforts, from exhausting the energy of a body that has in his own eyesbecome useless. Primitives, when in despair, would commit suicide byswimming out to sea until they could swim no longer. The jogger commitssuicide by running up and down the beach. His eyes are wild, saliva dripsfrom his mouth. Do not stop him. He will either hit you or simply carry ondancing around in front of you like a man possessed.
The only comparable distress is that of a man eating alone in the heart ofthe city. You see people doing that in New York, the human flotsam ofconviviality, no longer even concealing themselves to eat leftovers in public.But this still belongs to the world of urban, industrial poverty. Thethousands of lone men, each running on their own account, with no thoughtfor others, with a stereophonic fluid in their heads that oozes through intotheir eyes, that is the world of Blade Runner, the post-catastrophe world. Notto be aware of the natural light of California, nor even of a mountain fire thathas been driven ten miles out to sea by the hot wind, and is enveloping theoffshore oil platforms in its smoke, to see nothing of all this and obstinatelyto carry on running by a sort of lymphatic flagellation till sacrificialexhaustion is reached, that is truly a sign from the beyond. It is like theobese person who keeps on getting fatter, the record rotating endlessly inthe same groove, the cells of a tumour proliferating, like everything that haslost the formula for stopping itself. This entire society, including its active,productive part - everyone - is running straight ahead, because they havelost the formula for stopping.
All these track-suits and jogging suits, these loose-fitting shorts and baggycotton shirts, these 'easy clothes' are actually old bits of nightwear, and allthese relaxed walkers and runners have not yet left the night behind. As aresult of wearing these billowing clothes, their bodies have come to float intheir clothes and they themselves float in their own bodies.
Anorexic culture: a culture of disgust, of expulsion, of anthropoemia, ofrejection. Characteristic of a period of obesity, saturation, overabundance.The anorexic prefigures this culture in rather a poetic fashion by trying tokeep it at bay. He refuses lack. He says: I lack nothing, therefore I shall noteat. With the overweight person, it is the opposite: he refuses fullness,repletion. He says: I lack everything, so I will eat anything at all. The anorexicstaves off lack by emptiness, the overweight person staves off fullness byexcess. Both are homeopathic final solutions, solutions by extermination.
The jogger has yet another solution. In a sense, he spews himself out; hedoesn't merely expend his energy in his running, he vomits it. He has toattain the ecstasy of fatigue, the 'high' of mechanical annihilation, just as theanorexic aims for the 'high' of organic annihilation, the ecstasy of the emptybody and the obese individual seeks the high of dimensional annihilation: the ecstasy of thefull body.

The College System: FAQ
Link to questions and answers to learn more about UCSD's college system.
Do I have to select a college?
Yes. If you do not rank your preference among the colleges when you apply for admission, you will be assigned to a college by
Will my college choice affect whether I am admitted to UCSD?
determines first if you are admissible to UCSD. Then, admitted students are assigned to the colleges.
Should I pick my college based on my major?
No. Every college has students from all the majors offered at UCSD. In any case, many students change their majors once they discover the wide array of options they have at UCSD.
Does my college choice affect my post-graduate opportunities and career plans?
Not at all—students from every college go on to a wide variety of graduate programs, professional schools, and careers.
Will my college choice affect my time to degree?
No. Academic advisors in each college have developed four-year plans for all majors. Time to degree depends mainly on factors such as the number of units a student chooses to complete per academic quarter. That's true for engineering students, too.
Will I get my first choice of college?
Most students are placed in their first or second choice, sometimes their third choice. Therefore, rank your college choices carefully.
Can I switch to a different college?
In practice, the overwhelming majority of students are happy with their college assignment, even if it was not their first choice originally, and few students apply to switch. Petitions to transfer between colleges are difficult to justify and approved only in exceptional cases. To qualify, you must complete your originally assigned college's writing program, demonstrate that switching to a different college will substantially shorten your time to degree, and have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 with a specified number of completed units.
Will I get to know students from other colleges or only from my college?
Almost all your classes will include students from all colleges. The only exceptions are your own college's core courses and writing courses. If you participate in campuswide organizations (e.g, the
Associated Students
government, 400 or more
all-campus organizations
, or
intramural or intercollegiate athletics teams
), the other participants will be from all six colleges.
Will I take classes only in my college neighborhood?
No. Actually, classrooms are spread throughout the UCSD campus, so your classroom could be located in any of the college neighborhoods.
Do I graduate from my college or from UCSD?
Both. The name of your college and UCSD's name appear on your diploma, so no matter which college you attend, your UCSD degree will be one of the most prestigious of any public university in the United States.

Social Entrepreneurship
What Everyone Needs to Know
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreIn development circles, there is now widespread consensus that social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to needs than we have ever had before--a decentralized and emergent force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace with our problems and create a more peaceful world. David Bornstein's previous book on social entrepreneurship, How to Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in The New York Times as "a bible in the field" and published in more than twenty countries. Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of successful social innovators in that book--and teams with Susan Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation--to offer the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q & A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest terms as well as in its particulars. Bornstein and Davis explain what social entrepreneurs are, how their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it differs from traditional grant-based non-profit work. Unlike the typical top-down, model-based approach to solving problems employed by the World Bank and other large institutions, social entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning--learning by doing--working with communities to find unique, local solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book shows readers exactly how they can get involved. Anyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of this new method of social change, Social Entrepreneurship is the ideal first place to look. less

Formerly the Fresno-Madera Hiking Meetup Group.
Meet other local hiking, camping, mountain biking, snow sporting, fishing enthusiasts! We are a group of friends and soon-to-be friends who carpool, hike and backpack together. All those who are dedicated to outdoor excursions near and far, with a focus on leaving no trace of litter and treading lightly.
Membership is free, and always will be free. Events are free. Some outings there are entry fees, some people decide to carpool, sometimes we need a permit or a campsite - communal charges are shared among the attendees equally. Sometimes people support the group with a voluntary gift to perpetuate the subscription to keep our meetup account alive.
Note that we do not have leaders, tour guides, instructors, or experts. To describe and post a hike does not constitute nor should it convey any guarantee of safety nor the assumption of liability. To organize is to assemble details, disseminate information, and provide a bit of cohesion to an event by being the single point of contact for the participants. We do not provide any service nor do we tell you what to do. If you choose to ignore suggestions and recommendations posted you are well within your rights to do so. Our suggestions and recommendations within trip descriptions are based upon the greater fund of knowledge presented by backpacking books and search and rescue teams in general. You are strongly encouraged to do your own research, take classes at REI, and make your own plans to ensure your own safety, wherever and whatever you are doing.
Our Expectations
Meaning, the event hosts and the group at large:
☞ We will have fun!!! Enjoy the wilderness! And, stay safe while doing it!
☞ We will all obey the regulations of the public lands we venture into, and respect the tenets of Leave No Trace. (If you are not familiar with Leave No Trace the basics are really simple. Go to lnt.org to read them.)
☞ We will stick together, as a group or as subgroups of the larger group, and always communicate with other members of the group.
☞ We expect you to read the event description. Read it on a computer, not the phone app, and understand whether or not there are other things you need to do to participate in the event. We have a LOT of events of various levels of difficulty and some of them will also require you to make a reservation, or get specific gear, or to respond to the event host in a certain way. If you miss something you may find yourself removed from the event or unable to go.
There will never be an event on this group requiring mountaineering gear (ropes, crampons, ice axes, other climbing aids). Use of such items without instruction and practice is *extremely dangerous*. You are encouraged to fully inform yourself of the risks of any activity before agreeing to go with anyone, anywhere, in the wilderness, no matter how much experience they appear to have.
☞ When we are hiking, we expect you to speak up when the unexpected happens. If you have symptoms that distress you while hiking, it is impolite and imposing to NOT speak up about it - because not doing anything about symptoms of dizziness, nausea, headache, hot spots, etc leads to more serious symptoms or conditions that will adversely affect your ability to continue, and may be symptoms of more serious conditions that if ignored may worsen to the point that you need to be evacuated. It is a rare occurrence to have medical professionals on hikes, and they are there to enjoy the hike like you - so you cannot reasonably expect any professional intervention from this group!
Therefore, we expect you to learn about hypothermia, dehydration, heat exhaustion, and how to AVOID it and thus avoid the embarrassing situation where you are requiring a helicopter ride to a hospital. And we expect you to talk to the group about what's going on! If a TUMS would resolve the issue, and the person hiking with you has some in their first aid kit, ask! If you need extra water and getting it will keep you from dehydration, which can be miserable and potentially dangerous to you, see if someone has a filter! Don't overlook minor conditions that, if neglected, may become major problems - deal with them while they are minor and don't be afraid to say something.
☞ We expect you to prepare for outdoor activities as anyone should be prepared, with adequate gear, clothing, and enough water and food for the activity we have planned. We also expect you will understand that it's very likely you'll need more water than you think. We're not responsible for the weather, and sometimes our groups hike in rain - it's up to you to choose wisely on your own behalf how you prepare for and/or choose events.
☞ NO SHOW POLICY: As all our events are planned using the software at Meetup, we expect you to maintain your RSVP yourself and not to ask for others to change it for you. Unless you are having technical issues with the software you should be able to click and change your RSVP when you discover you cannot go. Organizers keep people on waiting lists when they have a history of "no show" for events, as waiting lists have been longer and hikes are filling. Please be polite to your fellow hikers and group members, and come back to change the RSVP if you can't come. Do this even if you are still on the waiting list.
In the event a waiting list develops on a hike, people who have "no showed" in the recent past who are on the Going list will be moved to the Waiting List to allow people who are not "no show" ers to attend.
Habitually changing at 5 am on the day of the trip is also frowned upon. We understand that emergencies and the unexpected illness can happen to anyone - this too is something to communicate, to avoid misunderstandings. We don't want to be punitive to anyone. BUT - people who want to hike with us should have the opportunity - so remember to change your RSVP when you need to and you can avoid being put back on waiting lists!
Friends, fun and hiking.
Campouts and potlucks.
Scenery and adventures.
Loads of opportunities to go to places in the wilderness you have never thought about going.
Hot swinging singles group - not what we are about.
Hikes based on age - choose based on your ability instead. It's safer for you.
Walking. Hiking is NOT THE SAME as walking. It involves variable terrain, trails full of rocks and roots, and sometimes no trail at all. Most hikes involve climbing hills, as well as descending them - there are no truly flat trails in the wilderness. Many of our hikes also involve significant elevation change, wide temperature ranges, and/or exposure to inclement weather. We do not always cancel for rain!
Guides - you're not going to get it without paying for it, and we don't do that! Socializing with like-minded people is what we are really for, not showing you the sights and herding you around.
Medical advice - if you have concerns about being physically able to hike or backpack, please consult your physician.
Guarantees - we are as subject to Circumstances Beyond Our Control as you or anyone else. We don't have crystal balls. All the risks inherent in wilderness activities apply equally across the board to everyone on our hikes, and we are all individually responsible in assuming the risks on our own behalf - no one is going to take responsibility for your safety. But, as friends, we stick together and work things out when the unexpected happens, and we do our best in all circumstances to look out for each other.
If you want to have a horrible group experience:
Ignore the event description. Just RSVP for everything, never pay any attention to the details.
Ignore the organizer's emails.
Ignore the "no show" policy. Fail to update your RSVP and waste a spot on a hike instead of letting someone on a waiting list take the spot, as soon as you know you aren't going. This will result in your being at the bottom of waiting lists, even if you get a spot the minute the event is posted. People who communicate get first dibs.
Double and triple book yourself then forget you did it, and waste two or three spots!
If you want to get banned from the group:
Send creepy emails to people you haven't met yet.
Spam us with your business information.
Suggest in comments that we start a second group on the same day (this is often against wilderness regulations and not something we do), do something dangerous, illegal, etc and generally disrespect your host's efforts and the regulations of parks and wilderness areas.
Be a stalker.
Demonstrate anti-social, inappropriate behavior on the website or on a hike.
Repeatedly come on hikes unprepared and expect to be bailed out. We take care of the unexpected things that sometimes happen as friends; treat us like friends you want to keep.
Demand things of event organizers that they are not willing to provide, even after you are warned to stop.
Check out REI's website on the 10 Essentials at http://www.rei.com/expertadvice/articles/te...
Check out http://reconn.org/ - if you are a backpacker this is a very important page! created by backpackers in memory of backpackers who have been lost in the wilderness, to help future backpackers return safely - never trust electronics with your life. Never trust the poor memory of others with your life. Never go without leaving an itinerary with someone you trust to call in the event you aren't back on time.
If you have questions after reading more about a hike, please email the person who organized that hike.
If you have questions regarding the group you can email one of the organizers.
And, if you have difficulty with the software - can't change the rsvp, sent messages and never got a response - comment on the event, or email me. Often we post our email address within the event description in recognition that meetup's software sometimes gets glitchy, or the messages from it end up in a spam folder.
Hope to see you on the trail soon!
Membership is open to everyone

I have seen these before but don't know the names of them so I can't find out what kind of light and care they need so any help will be appreciated.
The green one on this pic
Hi girl how are you doing I hope all is well now and things are looking up for you , you are in my prayers at night.
The first one is a schefflera and they will handle anythingfrom low to med light the more light they have the less likely they get floppy.
The second is a dreacena marginata and take higher light to keep the color margin around the edge.
I think the green plant in the top pic is some sirt of laurel. May or may not flower if planted outside in the ground or large po t. Cant help w/ any of the others! I am sure the yellow flowers would do ok in partial shade!
I agree with snow, I have both of these plants. Love the sun.
I agree with Snowwolf also
<i>Hey Snow, that was great 2 out of 2</i>
Thank you Snow!!!!
Things can only get better here now so I am looking forward to better days ahead. Thank you for asking.
I had a schefflera and it can get very tall. Mine started out in a tiny pot that was a gift from some guy that came here and wanted us to try out a Scooter! He must've thought we looked old or in need! (I was still working at the time) Ha, ha! The one I had grew big and I had to stake it and tie it up and it was in living room and got a fair amount of light as I have a large window in front and a medium one on side of living room. Very easy care and just watered once a week. Nice and green and healthy looking kind of plant. I liked it but tired of it, too, so gave it to the girl that helps with the lawn sometimes as she has many plants and likes them. I also gave her a large Croton I had and it had blossomed a couple of years, too, so that was neat. My living room is not very big and ceilings are only 7 ft. tall.

Shopping List
Flavorful chicken tacos the whole family will enjoy!
Combine chicken, olive oil, lime juice, lemon juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and bay leaf in a large skillet over medium heat. Simmer, turning chicken pieces occasionally, until juices run clear and the meat is no longer pink (about 15 to 20 minutes). While the chicken is simmering, warm the tortillas in the oven or microwave until soft. Place remaining ingredients (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, salsa, and sour cream) in serving dishes. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a serving dish. Let everyone serve themselves.
No notes available at this time.

City of Los Angeles Receiving Hospital Ambulance System
By Robert Holley
In the early days of Los Angeles, if someone was sick or injured, they would be given attention by those who felt they knew what to do. In some cases they would be taken to a local doctors office, or hospital.
It has been written that the Police Officers would use their open, horse drawn, patrol wagons, to transport these folks to a place where they could receive treatment. I have also been told that the Fire Chief or Captain would use their buggy for the same purpose.
There came a time when the Patrol Wagons were covered, and they were used in a lot of cases to transport the sick and injured.
As the years passed and the Police Department changed to motorized vehicles, they purchased a 1908 Studebaker Electric Patrol Ambulance, which, as the story goes, had no brakes and traveled at the break-neck speed of eight miles an hour. I have not come across an accounting of just how this vehicle was brought to a halt once it was near the patient; perhaps with the help of bystanders and a large rock to put before the wheel so it would not roll.
On December 14, 1910 the "Receiving Hospital" became a department for the medical and surgical treatment of all persons brought to the City Jail or Receiving Hospital, and for the medical and surgical treatment of all policemen and firemen.
The first ambulance under the Receiving Hospital System was a 1914 Premier, and as near as I can remember at this time, it was manned by two police officers.
Through the years, one of the officers was replaced by a doctor or nurse. Sometime in the late 1920s or early 1930s [Update: in 1929] the remaining officer was replaced by an ambulance driver, and sometime later, the doctor or nurse was assigned inside the receiving hospital, and replaced on the ambulance by an attendant. The Ambulance Department was under the Receiving Hospital System. The starting position was Ambulance Driver, then up a step to Ambulance Attendant, then up another step to Senior Ambulance Attendant, and then up to Chief Attendant.
The Fire Department also had its doctor, and they transported some of the sick and injured. In the 1940s or 1950s, or both, the fire fighters who manned the Fire Department ambulances received a goodly portion of their training from the Receiving Hospital, as did the crews working out of the police stations. The Receiving Hospital continued "in service" training of the ambulance crews up to the last day, prior to their being transferred to the Fire Department. The learning by the ambulance crews from the doctors and nurses was a continuous thing, day by day, and hour by hour. If you wanted to learn, you could, and most of the time you didnt need to ask.
The vehicles used to transport these persons in need were of many different designs and names. The 1914 Premier was a very classy looking vehicle. If it was half as nice inside as it was outside, the patient was truly traveling in luxury.
Some of the brands used over the years were the Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Pierce Arrow, Premier, and Studebaker, and in later years, the Fire Department had a Cadillac.
For many years the ambulances under the Receiving Hospital were assigned the designation of "G-unit," and this would be combined with the division number of the station where the ambulance was assigned. For instance, University Station ambulance would be G-3, because University was Division Three.
However, if an ambulance was stationed at other than a police station, it was assigned a number along with the "G," as you will note later in this article. On the police radio system, when one of the crew was identifying, they would give their designation and division area number of where they were stationed. Since the G-units responded to 98% of their calls using red lights and siren, if they heard another G-unit or patrol car going code three, they would radio in their location and direction of travel so that the other vehicle would be alerted, in cases where their paths might cross.
The ambulances and crews were stationed at police stations, and other locations for many years. The crews worked eight hour shifts, but it was a strange type of schedule to say the least. The equipment was maintained by the Police Department.
During this span of time, the motorized ambulances went through many paint schemes. They were black, white, gray, brown, and many shades and combinations of these colors. In 1970 when the vehicles were transferred to the Fire Department, they were metallic brown with white roofs on the rear, box-shaped, patient compartment.
In 1970 all ambulances and their crews were transferred over to the Los Angeles City Fire Department. The Fire Chief at that time was Raymond Hill.
The crews continued on eight hour shifts for some time, and then were switched to the same twenty four hour schedule as the fire fighters. Their uniform was changed from the police style uniform, to a white shirt with dark blue trousers. It is my understanding that now the paramedics use the same uniform as fire fighters, and in many cases, have become fire fighters.
Now, most, if not all of the ambulance crews are paramedics, and they are still working the twenty four hour shifts. These are comprised of: 24 hours on duty, 24 hours off duty, 24 hours on duty, 24 hours off duty, 24 hours on duty, and then three days at 24 hours each are off duty.
At the present time [2001], the Fire Department has eighty three (83 ) ambulances, now called "rescue ambulances." Those ambulances handle an average of two hundred thousand (200,000 ) calls a year. This is quite a bit more than we did in those "good old days," which I remember well.
There are those who will say that the G-units were of poor service to the citizens of Los Angeles, and there are those who will say that it was the best service in most of the world.
When I came to work for the City on the G-units, I had been employed with a private ambulance company for just over seven years, and I was well trained. However, on my first shift on G-3, I started learning again. In the world of the private ambulance attendant or driver of the 1960s, the G-units were more than one step above the rest.
This is not the end of their rich and sometimes troubled history, there are many more details to be added. This is just a start so that others can contribute their remembrances and facts; to put more leaves on the tree and give it body.
Stationed at the Health Building on 1st street.
*G-9 was stationed at West L.A. Division 9 sometime in the 1940s or 1950s for a very short time.
*G-16 was a roving unit during the late 1960s, and would go anywhere in the City. However, it did not go into the San Fernando Valley, because the Fire Department handled that area.
* G-17 was stationed at the Spaldings Mortuary for a little over 1 1/2 years, during the late 1960s. They responded to calls in the Baldwin Hills, and Westchester area.

Police investigate head-on van crash
Posted: September 24, 2012|
Police investigating a serious road crash involving two vans are investigating if one of the vehicles was travelling in the wrong direction at the time. Emergency services were called to the scene of the crash, on the A38 at Menheniot near Liskeard, shortly before 5.40am yesterday. They said a green Ford Transit and a white Fiat van collided on the west-bound carriageway. Four people were involved in the crash, with two being taken to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth with serious injuries including severe chest and leg damage. The road was closed for four hours.

Hello, dear readers! I apologize for the lack of posts lately! This has been due to a couple of factors:
#1. I am expecting! So I have been sick and tired and all extra energy has gone toward either sleeping or eating. (I sort of love how pregnancy can be a blanket excuse for so many things....but really, I have been really tired....)
#2. I am working on preparing for a Preschool Piano Camp with a friend and fellow teacher of mine here in San Antonio. We have a lot of great things planned and I am so excited! I will definitely be sharing some of the things we've got planned with you all. In order to advertise and make registering easy, we created a little blog with all of the information and used this great website to create an online registration form. Take a look at our little website - http://earlyexpressionspiano.blogspot.com/. We are planning to teach some basic pre-piano skills (these are 3-5 year olds), and some basic music theory, and will also be doing some fun music appreciation and music & movement activities. Should be a lot of fun! Who else has fun camps and classes in the works??
Life is busy!

Congrats on the Baby! The first part of pregnancy (at least for me) was SUCH a sleepy time... so get all you can!
And I can't wait to hear about the piano classes for young kids... sounds so fun!
Best of luck!

Congratulations! It's nice to hear you're over the sickest part. Just thinking about it makes me think we're good with 5 :)
I like how you've setup your piano camp site. Have fun!

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM)- The fifth annual "Warm Hands Warm Hearts" drive is underway to collect winter clothing items for the families living at the YWCA West Central Michigan's domestic violence emergency shelter. Rebecca Diffin, Director of Supportive Housing stopped by the Weekend Morning News to share more details.
Through Thursday, December 20th, donations of new or gently used hats, mittens, gloves, and scarves can be dropped off at Fogle Orthodontics' new location at 933 Three Mile Rd. NW, Suite 102, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49544. The office is open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Closed for lunch from 1-2 p.m.) Both women's and children's items are needed.

Greening the Office
Every day at Friends of the Earth Scotland we receive calls
asking us about environmentally friendly products: whether it is really
recycling and how to go about greening the office.
Our Online Audit
is designed to answer these questions. It is aimed at those putting
green office policy into practice and those who want to
protect the environment but may not have the time or the money to immediately
overhaul the workplace.
To work towards a greener office environment
we all have to look at the resources we use and reduce the waste and
pollution that is created
working day. We hope that this audit will provide solutions and guidance
in creating that greener office.
Greening the Office Online Audit
The audit includes basic
information on identifying environmental impacts and finding solutions.
The majority of the questions will
apply to
all offices.
It should enable you to gather some basic information
about your office, take action and track your progress.
fact sheets provide practical information on the main topics. There
are also directories of web-based links to sources of further information,
green office suppliers and other relevant links.
Supporting Information
The fact sheets provide practical
information on the main topics. There are also directories of web based
links to sources of further information,
green office suppliers, environmental calculators.
Green Office Action Plan
For even more information
on Greening the Office, we have produced a comprehensive easy-to-use
guide, the Green Office Action Plan
(GOAP). It has additional background information on all the topics
(and more) included in our Online Audit. The GOAP includes practical "blow-up" pages,
audit templates, facts and figures, green suppliers and additional
sources of information. First published, July 1996, Updated November
2002. Cost £20.00 See Publications on the FoES
Home Site.
All information contained in the Green Office Online Audit,
including details of companies, organisations, their products and services
is believed to be correct at the time of initial launch in June 2003.
Friends of the Earth Scotland cannot be held responsible for any services
or goods offered by the companies contained in the Directory, nor do
we endorse any environmental claims made by the said companies.

From small molecules towards supramolecular dendrimers
Duisburg, Essen (2010), 189 S.

Nature is creating extraordinarily complex systems from rather simple building blocks by self assembly. Supramolecular chemistry is inspired by these thermodynamically controlled self assembly processes using them as a tool to create nanoscale architectures. Various examples of self assembled dendrimers are published that are based on different non covalent interactions. However, most examples in literature are restricted to unpolar solvents. In case of biological applications systems are of interest that form stable aggregates in water in the range of pH 5-8. In the present work a pH triggered highly stable self assembly of homodimeric supramolecular dendrimers in pure water is reported. The system is based on guanidiniocarbonylpyrrole carboxylate zwitterions as efficient self complementary binding site and biocompatible 1st to 3rd generation polyglycerol dendrons.

½ tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp black peppercorns
1 shallot, roughly chopped
½ stalk lemongrass, roughly chopped
1 large fresh red chilli, seeds removed, roughly chopped
thumb-sized piece root ginger, peeled, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
pinch salt
1 medium waxy potato, such as Charlotte, peeled and cut into chunks
3 tbsp groundnut or vegetable oil
1 white onion, thinly sliced
3 shallots, thinly sliced
1 small chicken breast fillet, cut into chunks
150ml/5fl oz chicken stock
8 raw king prawns, shells removed, de-veined

1 tbsp Thai fish sauce (nam pla)
1 tbsp tamarind paste, mixed with 1 tbsp water
1 tbsp palm sugar or 2 tbsp brown cane sugar
For the salad, blanch the peas and the sweetcorn in a pan of boiling water for one minute then drain and refresh in cold water.
Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan or wok over a high heat and fry the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
In a small bowl mix together the remaining oil, vinegar, wasabi and sugar and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
When ready to serve, mix the cooked and raw vegetables together and stir through the dressing.
For the curry paste, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and fry the dried red chillies for 10-20 seconds then remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a clean frying pan over a medium-high heat and dry-fry the cardamom, cloves, star anise, cinnamon, cumin and peppercorns together for 1-2 minutes, or until lightly toasted and very aromatic.
Tip the fried spices and dried chillies into a spice grinder or mini food processor and grind to a coarse powder. Add all the remaining curry paste ingredients and blend to a paste.
For the curry, boil the potato in a pan of boiling water for 10-12 minutes, or until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Citizen of the UK & Colonies Passport (CUKC)
Can you claim British Nationality?
Getting a British passport might be easier than you think. Thanks to the UK's historical laws and agreements with former territories, you may qualify for British nationality depending on where you, your parents and grandparents were born.
You could be eligible for British citizenship if you were:
- Born to a parent (a father or mother) who was born in the UK before 1983.
- Born before 1983 to a parent who was born after 1949 – as long as that parent a) was a British Citizen, or b) had a parent born in the UK.
- Born after 1948, and your parents were married before 1949 and your paternal grandfather (your dad's dad) was born in the UK.
There are hundreds of other ways to qualify. As a general rule, if you were born in a country that is different to either parent or any of your grandparents, or you have a connection back to the UK, Ireland or a former British Territory, then you might have a claim.
Expert UK immigration and nationality advice
We are the world's leading experts in UK immigration and nationality. For over 22 years, we have been helping thousands of people navigate the complex path to British citizenship.
Some claims to British nationality are relatively straightforward and can be completed quickly if you meet the above requirements. Other claims can be extremely complex and can only be determined by researching old nationality laws.

The Heads of Commonwealth Government decided in 1948 to embark on a major change in the law of nationality throughout the Commonwealth, following Canada's decision to enact its own citizenship law in 1946. Until then, all Commonwealth countries, with the exception of the Irish Free State, had a single nationality status: British subject status. It was decided at that conference that the United Kingdom and the self-governing dominions would each adopt separate national citizenships, but retain the common status of British subject.
Thus the British Nationality Act 1948 provided for a new status of Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (CUKC), consisting of all those British subjects who had a close relationship (either through birth or descent) with the United Kingdom and its remaining colonies. Each other Commonwealth country did likewise, and also established its own citizenship (with the exception of Newfoundland which became part of Canada on 1 April 1949, Newfoundlanders hence becoming Canadian citizens).
The Act also provided that British subjects could be known by the alternative title Commonwealth citizen.
It was originally envisaged that all British subjects would get one (or more) of the national citizenships being drawn up under the Act, and that the remainder would be absorbed as CUKCs by the British Government. Until they acquired one or other of the national citizenships, these people continued to be British subjects without citizenship. However, some British subjects never became citizens of any Commonwealth country.
Because the nationality laws of India and Pakistan did not provide for citizenship for everyone who was born in their countries, the British Government refused to "declare" their nationality laws for the purposes of the Act, and therefore those British subjects from these countries who did not become Indian or Pakistani citizens were never absorbed as CUKCs by the British Government. They remained British subjects without citizenship.
Due to the imminent withdrawal of the Republic of Ireland from the Commonwealth (which took effect 18 April 1949), special arrangements were made in s2 of the Act to allow British subjects from Ireland to apply to continue to hold British subject status independently of the citizenship of any Commonwealth country.
Until 1983, the status of British subjects without citizenship was not affected by the acquisition of the citizenship of a non-Commonwealth country.
Acquisition of Citizenship of the UK & Colonies
Under the 1948 Act, CUKC status was acquired by:
- Birth in the UK or a colony (which does not include birth in the Dominions or children of 'enemy aliens' and diplomats). The immigration status of the parents was irrelevant.
- Naturalisation or registration in the UK or a colony or protectorate
- legitimate descent from a CUKC father for children born elsewhere. Only the first generation acquired British nationality automatically. Second and subsequent generations could do so only if born outside the Commonwealth (or Ireland) and registered within 12 months of birth or if the father was in Crown Service.
- incorporation of territory (no persons ever acquired CUKC this way from 1949)
- declaration
- marriage
Provisions for acquisition of CUKC by adoption were not included in the 1948 Act itself but were added soon after.
Requirements for Naturalisation or Registration
Citizens of Commonwealth countries, British subjects and Irish citizens were entitled to register as citizens of the UK and Colonies after one year's residence in the UK & Colonies. This period was increased to five years in 1962.
Other persons were required to apply for naturalisation after five years residence.
Citizenship by Descent
Prior to 1983, as a general rule, British nationality could be transmitted from only the father, and parents were required to be married.
Children born in Commonwealth countries or the Republic of Ireland could not normally access British nationality if the father was British by descent.
Those born in non-Commonwealth countries of second and subsequent generations born overseas could be registered as British within 12 months of birth. However, many such children did not acquire a UK Right of Abode before 1983 and hence became British Overseas citizens in 1983 rather than British citizens.
On 8 February 1979, the Home Office announced that overseas-born children of British mothers would generally be eligible for registration as UK citizens provided application was made before the child reached age 18. Many eligible children were not registered before their 18th birthday due to the fact this policy concession was poorly publicised. Hence it has been effectively reintroduced by the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 for those aged under 18 on the date of the original announcement.
With effect from 30 April 2003, a person born outside the UK to a British mother (who was born or naturalised in the UK) may be entitled to register as a British citizen by descent if that person was born between 8 February 1961 and 31 December 1982. However those with permanent resident status in the UK, or entitled to Right of Abode, may instead prefer to seek naturalisation as a British citizen which gives transmissible British citizenship otherwise than by descent.
Citizenship by Declaration
A person who was a British Subject on 31 December 1948, of United Kingdom & Colonies descent in the male line, and was resident in the UK & Colonies (or intending to be so resident) was entitled to acquire CUKC by declaration under s12(6) of the Act. The deadline for this was originally 31 December 1949, but was extended to 31 December 1962 by the British Nationality Act 1958.
Citizenship by Marriage
Women married to CUKCs had the right to register as CUKCs under section 6(2) of the 1948 Act.
Citizenship by Adoption
Before 1950 there was generally no provision to acquire UK citizenship by adoption:
- between 1 January 1950 and 31 December 1982, a person adopted in the UK by a citizen of the UK & Colonies (CUKC) acquired CUKC automatically if the adopter, or in the case of a joint adoption, the male adopter, was a CUKC.
- children adopted in the Channel Islands and Isle of Man on or after 1 April 1959 acquired CUKC on the same basis as UK adoptees on 16 July 1964, or the date of the adoption order, if later.
In general, a person acquiring CUKC by virtue of adoption in the UK, Channel Islands or Isle of Man, became a British citizen on 1 January 1983.

Mozambique moves families away from floods
Maputo (AFP) Feb 4, 2011
Emergency services are moving thousands of families out of low-lying areas in central and northern Mozambique as rains across Southern Africa swell water levels, official said Friday.
"About 500 families with five members each were evacuated to camps. Six thousand families were affected which makes it about 30,000 people," Belarmino Chivambo, spokesman for the national emergency operations centre, Canoe, said.
Around 2,500 people are housed in temporary settlement camps in the southern province of Gaza as the Limpopo river burst its banks, he said.
"Our main worry is readiness, and to evacuate people so that if the water comes, there will be no loss of life," Chiuvambo added.
He said authorities are concerned about water levels in the Zambezi river basin in the centre of the country, the most vulnerable to flooding as downpours continued, said Chivambo.
Discharges from the Cahora Bassa dam, Mozambique's largest, were increased from 4,900 cubic metres to 6,400 cubic metres per second on Friday following an increase in run-off from the Kariba dam upstream along the Zambia and Zimbabwe border.
Floods have killed nine people in the southern African country this year, according to official figures and almost 20,000 hectares (50,000 acres) of crops have been lost.
Around 4,000 pupils cannot go to school and thousands of people have difficult reaching medical services or shops, Chivambo said.
