I was looking for some information on a new helmet to replace my aging one, when I came across this during a search on Yahoo!
I skimmed this FAQ about bicycle helmets, and what I read was not what I expected. Basically, this FAQ by OCBC (see link below) claim that helmets do little to save lives and in fact may do more harm than good. The arguments they put out tend to fall into 3 categories: 1. The protection that a helmet gives only mitigates damage from a standing fall, rarely does it actually save a life, 2. Helmets are a poor substitute for teaching good skills and give a false sense of security, 3. Mandating helmets cause people to drop out of cycling, thus increasing disease from a more sedentary lifestyle.
Here's the link for your viewing pleasure...
ONTARIO COALITION for BETTER CYCLING
Bicycle Helmet FAQ
The only part that I sort of agree on is point #2. It's human nature to go for a quick fix... not unlike people who don't wear seatbelts or get careless because they think their airbags will save them. And I do agree that good skills and a sharp eye are better preventative measures against cycling death than relying on a helmet.
The rest I don't buy. Especially their point dismissing helmets because they only mitigate minor damage rather than prevent death. Even if this is true, if a helmet can mean the difference between a concussion or a full blown fracture of my skull, I'll take the helmet. Sure, if I get hit by an 18-wheeler, my helmet won't mean much. But if it can save me from a disabling injury I can't recover from, even if it can't prevent certain death, I think it's worth it.
As for the last point: saying that helmets turn otherwise active people into couch potatoes (I'm exaggerating for effect here ) seems dubious to me. Although I tend to object to mandatory helmet laws just on principle... however, mandatory organ donar cards for non-helmeted riders are a different matter
So I put this FAQ and my humble opinions out here for others to comment. Yes, they do quote a lot of sources, but I am in no position to peer review their sources... being a researcher myself, I know how easy it is to find something out there that agrees with me, no matter out on the fringe the source might be.
What do you think?

As gamers eagerly await the anticipated drop of the new Battlefield 4 trailer tomorrow, news dropped that Frostbite 2.0 will not be used for the new title.
Currently coined "Next Generation Frostbite Engine, this new engine will take the place of Frostbite 2.0 and will be upping the ante of its predecessor. We know Electronic Arts took a bug love to the Frostbite Engine, since it appeared in many of the new releases from EA that followed after Battlefield 3. This could mean similar affects and gamers are in for quite a treat with a new engine and new hardware.
Destructive maps are staples in the series, and one of the many enhancements that'll come with Battlefield 4 is "improved, more efficient destruction." For more information on what's coming, stay tuned to PSU as more information--and the official trailer, which comes tomorrow--releases.

36-year-old Robert Lee Davis of Meridian was arrested Tuesday afternoon on a capias warrant for armed robbery and attempted armed robbery. The MPD says Davis was initially arrested April 29.
The charges stem from incidents in April 2009. Davis is accused of robbing or attempting to rob two cab drivers on two separate occasions, April 22 and April 23. Officials say he called for a cab and then robbed the drivers.
His bond was set at $50,000 per charge.
The police department said, at this time, it has no reason or evidence to indicate that Davis is connected to recent robberies in Meridian.

School is out for the summer, but it doesn't mean your child has to stop learning.
The Little Willie Center in Greenville is running a free summer empowerment camp for kids ages 3 to 17.
The camp runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Camp Organizer Melissa Alston says the goal is to help keep kids off the streets and instead have them learn, have fun, and grow spiritually. "They know that they are safe, they know where they are, they know that they are treated with love and treated with respect, and then they are taught discipline and then the Bible study components."
Right now 35 campers are enrolled but he program can hold up to 50 kids. If you are interested you can contact the Little Willie Center at . The camp runs through August 3rd.

Germany And Brazil To Face Off In World Cup Semifinals
After the first round of World Cup quarterfinal matches, Brazil and Germany will advance and face each other on Tuesday.
Brazil vs. Colombia
It had been an impressive World Cup for Colombia, going further than many expected, but they couldn't hold off the assault from World Cup host Brazil, whose 2-1 victory is sending them to the semifinals for the first time in 12 years.
An early goal from Thiago Silva gave Brazil an early lead in the seventh minute that they held for the first half. They stretched that lead even further in the second half with a long-range goal from David Luiz in minute 68.
Colombia gained some momentum after a penalty kick from star James Rodríguez put them on the scoreboard in the 80th minute, but it wasn't enough.
Some bad news for Brazil however, as one of the team's star players, Neymar, was taken to a hospital after the game. Neymar exited the match after a collision with Juan Zuniga. According to the Associated Press, Brazil's team doctor says Neymar is out of the World Cup with a broken vertebrae.
As an aside, many people are buzzing over what seems like a giant locust landed on Rodríguez before the penalty kick and then flew off and short time after. Check it out:
Nobody can stop Rodriguez from scoring, not even giant Brazilian insects. pic.twitter.com/xk1opP9DO8— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 4, 2014
Germany vs. France
Germany defeated France 1-0 Friday to advance to the semifinal of soccer's World Cup in Brazil.
The lone goal at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana stadium came in the first half — a header from Mats Hummels in the 13th minute, off a Toni Kroos free kick.
Germany will face the winner of the Brazil-Colombia quarterfinal, which will be played later Friday at the Estadio Caselao in Fortaleza. That game will be Germany's fourth consecutive semifinal appearance at a World Cup, a run that began in 2002.
Germany has advanced through the tournament with relative ease: It beat Portugal 4-0 at the start of the tournament, drew with Ghana 2-2, defeated the U.S. 1-0 and beat Algeria 2-1.

They came (last month actually).
I ordered from Pinetree Seeds again. Tomatoes, beans, herbs, garden staples.
I'm going to try to fashion a small cold frame (again) this year. This time with pvc pipes, covering cloth, clips, and garden staples. I'm not terribly excited about all this but with the bug problems I had last year I figured it would be worth a shot.
Have you ordered yet? Got your seeds? Do you go online or local?
I have a few things left, mostly herbs and flowers, to pick up locally. Jung's is local here so I can pick up things I forgot long ago in January when the snow was flying.

Washington —
Florida grew its pre-kindergarten program by $12.9 million in FY11, joining the majority of states nationwide in showing bipartisan support for early learning investments, according to an analysis released today by Pre-K Now, a campaign of the Pew Center on the States. Total pre-k investments for all states came in at $5.4 billion, increasing slightly, by just over 1 percent.
The program serves more than two-thirds of Florida's four year olds, but it remains one of the lowest-quality programs in the country.
"Florida's pre-k program serves a large number of children, which is significant, but state leaders have continued to ignore the quality components we know make a good program and which are crucial to ensuring children enter kindergarten ready to learn," said Pegeen Hanrahan, former mayor of Gainesville. "By increasing access without also improving quality, state lawmakers have not done enough to ensure Florida's kids are prepared to succeed in school."
In August, Florida was one of nine states and the District awarded the Race to the Top competitive grant. With an infusion of federal money, newly elected policy makers are poised to make significant improvements in program quality. Florida's Race to the Top grant is structured to bolster the quality of its early education program as part of a larger reform effort aimed at improving student achievement and lowering high school dropout rates.
"Under the state's approved Race to the Top application, districts with low-performing high schools will be required to use the funds to implement high-quality pre-k programs," said Marci Young, director of Pre-K Now. "If these model programs succeed, it will provide more evidence for policy makers to increase program quality throughout the state."
The nonpartisan annual report, "Votes Count: Legislative Action on Pre-K Fiscal Year 2011," reviewed action on publicly funded pre-k programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to determine which legislatures count voluntary, high-quality pre-k among their top education reform strategies.
"To ensure Florida's workforce is equipped to meet the demands of a global, knowledge-based economy, education needs to begin before kindergarten and continue through the highest levels of education," said Carol Jenkins Barnett, chairman and president of Publix Super Markets Charities. "By focusing on improving program quality, Florida can continue to strengthen a robust workforce development program."
Research shows that high-quality pre-k helps narrow the achievement gap, reduces grade repetition and special education placements, increases high school graduation rates, reduces crime and delinquency and leads to greater employment and higher earnings as adults.

Japanese Honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)
Miller, J.H., E.B, Chambliss, N.J. Loewenstein. 2010. A Field Guide for the Identification of Invasive Plants in Southern Forests. General Technical Report SRS-119. Asheville, NC. United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service. 126 p.
Semi-evergreen to evergreen woody vine, high climbing and trailing to 80 feet (24 m) long, branching and often forming spotty to extensive arbors in lower and upper forest canopies and/or ground cover under canopies and in new forests, rooting at nodes along leaf-covered vines (stolons).
Slender woody vine becoming stout to 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter, with crosssection round and opposite branching. Brown and hairy becoming tan barked, fissured, and sloughing with age. Rooting at low nodes.
Opposite, broadly ovate to elliptic to oblong, base rounded, tips blunt pointed to round. Length 1.6 to 2.6 inches (4 to 6.5 cm) and width 0.8 to 1.5 inches (2 to 4 cm). Margins entire but often lobed in early spring. Both surfaces smooth to rough hairy, with undersurface appearing whitish.
April to August. Axillary pairs, each 0.8 to 1.2 inches (2 to 3 cm) long, on a bracted stalk. White (or pink) and pale yellow. Fragrant. Thin tubular, flaring into 5 lobes in 2 lips (upper lip 4 lobed and lower lip single lobed), with the longest lobes roughly equal to the tube. Five stamens and 1 pistil, all projecting outward and becoming curved. Persistent sepals.
Fruit and seeds
June to March. Nearly spherical, green ripening to black, glossy berry 0.2 inch (5 to 6 mm) on stalks 0.4 to 1.2 inches (1 to 3 cm) long. Two to 3 seeds.
Most commonly occurring invasive plant in the South, overwhelming and replacing native flora in all forest types over a wide range of sites or occurring as scattered plants. Often coexisting with other invasive plants. Occurs as dense infestations along forest margins and right-of-ways as well as under dense canopies and as arbors high in canopies. Shade tolerant. Persists by large woody rootstocks and spreads mainly by rooting at vine nodes and less by animal-dispersed seeds. Infrequently seeding within forest stands with very low germination. Seed survival in the soil is less than 2 years.
Resembles yellow jessamine [Gelsemium sempervirens (L.) W.T. Aiton], which has narrower leaves and hairless stems. Also resembles native honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.) that usually have reddish hairless stems and hairless leaves and do not form extensive infestations.
History and use
Introduced from Japan through England in the early 1800s. Traditional ornamental, valued as deer browse, with some value for erosion control. Still planted in wildlife food plots to encroach on adjacent lands.
The most pervasive invasive plant throughout the region with the most frequent and dense infestations in east-central AL and a sizeable number in central MS and TN, as well as northwest SC.
Management strategies
- Do not plant. Remove prior plantings, and control sprouts and seedlings. Bag and dispose of plants and fruit in a dumpster or burn.
- Treat when new plants are young to prevent seed formation.
- Pull, cut, and treat when fruit are not present.
- Manually pull when soil is moist to ensure removal of all stolons and roots.
- Prescribed burning in spring will reduce dense ground mats and sever climbing vines for more effective herbicide treatments to resprouting vines. However, resprouting after one prescribed burn can intensify infestations. Climbing honeysuckle vines can become ladder fuels for fire to reach tree canopies. Repeated burning treatments will not control the plant, and burning is difficult due to absence of fine fuels under honeysuckle mats.
- Readily eaten by goats.
Recommended control procedures
- When nontarget damage is not a concern, apply Escort XP* with a surfactant to foliage (June to August) either by broadcast spraying 2 ounces per acre in water (0.6 dry ounce per 3-gallon mix) or by spot spraying 2 to 4 ounces per acre in water (0.6 to 1.2 dry ounces per 3-gallon mix).
- Or treat foliage with one of the following herbicides in water with a surfactant (July to October, or during warm days in winter), keeping spray away from desirable plants: a glyphosate herbicide as a 2-percent solution (8 ounces per 3-gallon mix) or Garlon 3A or Garlon 4 as a 3- to 5-percent solution (12 to 20 ounces per 3-gallon mix).
- Or cut large vines just above the soil surface and immediately treat the freshly cut stem with a glyphosate herbicide or Garlon 3A as a 20-percent solution (5 pints per 3-gallon sprayer) in water with a surfactant (July to October). ORTHO Brush-B-Gon, Enforcer Brush Killer, and Vine-X are effective for treating cut-stumps and readily available in retail garden stores (safe to surrounding plants) while Brush-B-Gon and Enforcer Brush Killer can be mixed in water and used as foliar sprays.
* Nontarget plants may be killed or injured by root uptake.

Mumbai, Actor Emraan Hashmi, who celebrated his birthday shooting for his upcoming film "Tum Mile", said he fractured his finger on the big day and received a long, touching SMS from uncle Mahesh Bhatt.
"For this birthday, I got a long touching SMS from Bhatt Saab. And a fractured finger."
He said Mahesh Bhatt likes to receive gifts even on his nephew's birthday instead of giving gifts.
"On my 30th birthday on Tuesday I called Bhatt Saab to ask what he's giving me. He turned around and made me gift him books. He makes me do that quite often. The only thing is he doesn't call it gifts. He calls it 'guru-dakshina' (offering to teacher). In fact after every hit film he takes a cheque from me. And every couple of months I give him money to buy books."
"I'm finally a true-blue member of the cast," said Emraan Hashmi jokingly looking at the plaster cast on his finger.
Shooting scenes of torrential rain in Kunal Deshmukh's "Tum Mile", Emraan broke his finger on Tuesday.
"This is the second time I've injured myself during this film's shoot. Earlier I injured my eye. But I need time for it to heal as we're shooting under several feet of water. We're re-living the torrential rains of July 26, 2005."
And the on-camera deluge has been created in no ordinary studio.
"Since no studio could give us a floor large enough to submerge cars in rain water we've hired this disused scrap-metal factory in Mulund which has been filled up with water. It started with ankle-deep water. Now it's knee-deep. Now the water has gone up to the waist and stomach. Soha is much shorter so we just see her head popping out of the water," he said.
Wading through stagnant water for almost a month has taken its toll on Emran and Soha's skin.
"There're two recycling plants installed. But they haven't helped much. And on top of that we've cars underwater which we bump into regularly. Director Kunal Deshmukh should be happy he's got two cooperative actors. We don't demand mineral water instead of rain water to sink into."
"Me and Soha Ali Khan have been literally shooting 16-18 hours a day. I couldn't even attend the birthday calls. When I went back home I saw more bouquets than I had ever seen in my life. Quite a change from how it used to be when I had debacles."
"My birthday was chaotic," he said.
"The shooting went way beyond what we expected. So by the time I reached home we couldn't really go out. My wife and I just had a quiet dinner."

|Huntair Pathfinder Mark 1 ultralight
Many people dream of being able to fly but can't afford the cost of an airplane. However the aviation enthusiast will find the affordable Ultralight
as a way to fly. The Ultralight or another name for it is the microlight is lightweight and flies really slow. Because of this it is not subject to as many
rules from the FAA. This allows many more people to fly it without all the regulations that would have to be observed when flying the average aircraft.
To qualify as an Ultralight the plane has to have a single seat, use less then five gallons of fuel, weight less then 254 pounds while empty and can't fly over 55 knots (64 miles). They also need to stay away from congested areas. This aircraft is classified as a Light Sport so you would only need a certificate to fly one. Training is advised but not required. I certainly would want to get the training from someone experienced.
If your Ultralight is not powered like a hang glider, paraglider or a aeroplane the empty weight needs to stay under 155 pounds. Ultralights range from small gliders to bigger aircraft with motors. Electric one are becoming popular and many are buying the kits to change over from gas to electric.
In our area we see them flying over our home fairly often. Two brothers got one and they like to try it out. It looks like a tiny plane and has a motor with a unique buzzing sound as it flies over. They also can be dangerous. Our
neighbor lost her father in one. He was training a student when the wing fell off. I don't remember what caused such a failure but it does pay to be super cautious.
Here you will find many Ultralights and Ultralight kits and products for sale.

The Waodani and the Ultralight
The Waodani are a remote tribe of people in South American who before missionaries came and helped them out had such a killing culture that they probably would wiped themselves out in a few years.
This book (End of the Spear) tells the story about five brave missionary men who gave their lives to save the tribe members who were killing them. These missionaries were armed but refused to defend themselves because the tribesman didn't know Jesus and would not be saved otherwise. The story has a wonderful ending.
The story is wonderful in that most of the tribal men involved in the killing became Christians and one of them even baptized a son of one of the murdered missionaries. This shows how lives are changed for the better when they are truly converted.
The Waodani were taught how to fly and maintain a Ultralight in order to have their own independence. They could fly their own people plus other tribe members to hospitals for medical care and supplies. It was amazing how they went from primitive living to flying their own aircraft.
The tribesman did not put up with a cheap religion that so many people around the world believe in. They didn't let anyone call themselves a Christian unless their life showed a change for the better. True faith always results in works. A robber will stop stealing and the 10 commandments are written on the heart.
One thing in the book bothered me a little. One of the Waodani women was upset that her father died before hearing of Jesus. She assumed that he was lost because of this. Her father was a good man and took in homeless children when their parents were killed. From looking at his life I would highly suspect that she will be happily surprised when she finds him when Jesus comes again. Her father did the best he could and since Jesus lights every person that comes into the world and all can choose to do right or not, he was probably lead by the Holy Spirit to do the things that he did. It looked to me from what I read that without even knowing Jesus he was still following Him and will probably be saved. What a great and happy celebration it will be once Jesus comes back and we are all reunited.

Boost your health with ginger
BY Lisa Guy Nutrition expert
Asian cultures have used ginger medicinally for centuries. Here's why.
Not only is ginger (Zingiber officinale) one of the most popular ingredients in cooking throughout the world, but it also possesses potent medicinal properties. Traditionally used by Chinese herbalists for more than 2500 years to treat colds and digestive problems, today this pungent plant is used for a wide variety of ailments.
Health benefits of ginger:
Nausea: Ginger helps relieve nausea associated with motion sickness and morning sickness. It has also been shown to benefit people experiencing nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy.
Inflammation: The plant has antiinflammatory properties without the nasty side effects of many antiinflammatory drugs. It can help to relieve inflammation and pain associated with arthritis and osteoarthritis. Researchers at the University of Georgia have recently found that daily ginger consumption reduces muscle pain caused by exercise.
Anti-cancerous: Phytochemicals found in ginger have demonstrated strong anti-cancer activities, helping to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Cardiovascular health: Ginger has been shown to lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while raising beneficial HDLs (highdensity lipoproteins, or "good" cholesterol). It has the ability to reduce platelet stickiness, which helps improve circulation and reduce the risk of heart attacks and thrombotic strokes.
Stomach ulcers: Ginger has been shown to eliminate strains of Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that are the principal cause of stomach ulcers and some stomach cancers.
How to get your dose: Try it in juices or tea, use it in cooking, or try tablet or liquid tincture form.

Miley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus's Advice to Justin Bieber: "Buy a House, and Add a Club To It" (VIDEO)
It's hard to deny it: Justin Bieber needs a little help. And while Usher's already done his part, many other celebrities are stepping up to weigh in on the situation. Who's the most recent star who thinks she can help a Bieber out? Miley Cyrus — now that she's been there, done that, she thinks he can benefit from her wisdom.
When Miley sat down with Jay Leno on Thursday, she offered up her best advice for The Biebs: do all your partying from the comfort of your own home. According to Miles, Justin's not putting his resources to work for him like he should.
"You've got a lot of money. Pay people to make sure you don't get in trouble, and party at your house," Miley offered. "Buy a house, and add a club to it."
While we're not sure more convenient partying is the best idea for Justin (who's supposedly suffering from drug abuse), at least this way he wouldn't hurt anyone driving home… or get any ideas to do something stupid like drag race while drunk. Or not drunk. Drag racing isn't ever actually a good idea.
"It's funny, because today I was looking at — my fans put all these people's mug shots up, and and they were like, 'I don't see a Miley mug shot yet!'" Miley added. "I get the most flak of anybody. I'm not doing anything illegal! I'm doing a lot of sh—t but I'm not doing anything illegal."
"Everything I do is legal in California," Miley joked.
That's actually a valid point. Miley hasn't had any run-ins with the law yet, and if you asked us this question a year ago, we would have told you she'd definitely see the inside of a jail before Justin would. She must be taking her own advice to stay out of any real trouble.
Wait, does this mean Miley has a club in her house?

I just love the vocal chorus line that plays throughout this track. Grum slows down the vocals a bit, and steps up the amazing four on the floor beat that your body moves so easily to. I'm a fan of the original track and official video, which is worth a click, but I love this remix. Notice the background vocals, they're just spot on. Enjoy!

In his "Political Memo" today in The New York Times titled "Dean Seeks a Share of Credit in Obama Victory," political guru Adam Nagourney draws some bizarre conclusions and makes some strange inferences about alleged internal conflicts and petty beefs inside the Democratic Party. It's interesting that at a time when the Republican Party is facing its most bitter and vindictive internal battles, so bad that Newt Gingrich and David Brooks liken it to a "circular firing squad," Nagourney chooses to ignore that story and jumps head first into "analyzing" non-existent antagonisms within the party that just won a sweeping mandate from the American people not more than two weeks ago. As far as Howard Dean's role is concerned in pushing the 50-state strategy as Democratic National Committee chair, Nagourney writes: "A year in which Democrats were running against a party freighted by the most unpopular president in history -- and amid an economic collapse -- is probably not the best laboratory for measuring the success of his experiment." Sniff, sniff.
Nagourney even dredges up the old beef between the Obama and Clinton campaigns in the Democratic primaries over the delegations in Michigan and Florida as "evidence" of still simmering internal divisions inside the Democratic Party and between the Obama campaign and the DNC. That's a pretty weird "analysis" of the current state of the Democratic Party. But what do you expect from a reporter who was writing front-page love letters to John McCain and his campaign in the early days of the race?
The only quotation Nagourney uses from a political strategist in his article is from Katon Dawson, the South Carolina Republican chairman, as if the views of South Carolina Republicans are really important when assessing conflicts with the Democratic Party. He does not bother to get a quote from either a member of the Obama campaign or from Howard Dean or anyone at the DNC to corroborate his theory. And you know why? Because people from both Democratic camps, still savoring their historic victory of November 4th, would have informed Nagourney that he is barking up the wrong tree and seeing "conflicts" where in fact none exist. Nagourney seems to be consciously trying to drive wedges between factions of Democrats ignoring the fact that the party is more united today than it has been in many, many years.
Nagourney closes his piece with a final volley implying that Dean, who is poised to join President-elect Obama's cabinet, is somehow in conflict with the Obama White House staff: "[T]he man with whom Mr. Dean fought bitterly over his 50-state strategy was Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, who headed the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and whom Mr. Obama named last week as his chief of staff." Nagourney closes with this line to imply future problems - no doubt to be fanned by future Nagourney "analyses" - between the Obama White House and the DNC. That's bizarre because Obama himself will be appointing Dean's successor at the DNC. I guess Nagourney believes that Obama is going to appoint someone to head the party who is at odds with his own administration's agenda? Nagourney here is creating straw men to give the impression of disunity in Democratic ranks. But why does he choose to do that? The President-Elect hasn't even been sworn in and Nagourney apparently wants to give Times readers the impression that it is Democrats, not Republicans, who are in a "circular firing squad."
Nagourney's time would be better spent if he focused that laser-like brain of his on the very real and profound identity crisis and recriminations going on within the Republican Party's ranks right now. Or maybe he thinks the GOP will do better in 2012 under Sarah Palin's leadership and after the fluke of the election of 2008 (which he believes is not a good indicator of Democratic success) fades from memory?
I think Nagourney, who likes to play amateur historian at times, should look into the interesting historical parallel I've noticed between the Savings and Loan scandal that broke out in the last two years of Ronald Reagan's second term (and after the Republicans lost the Senate in 1986), and the current financial meltdown that began in the last two years of George W. Bush's second term (and after losing both the House and the Senate in 2006). It looks like a pattern wherein the cronies and profiteers associated with the last two-term Republican administrations "get in while the gettin's good" and rip off federally insured deposits in the waning days of GOP rule. The Reagan era S&L scandal cost taxpayers at least $125 billion and that was after years of the Reconstruction Trust Corporation selling off assets and spending countless time and money that could have gone into other more beneficial pursuits. The current crisis is costing taxpayers $1.3 trillion and counting - but of course it would be expected that George W. Bush's people would go big and outdo Reagan's people. The point is, Nagourney should focus on what brought the nation to this terrible state of affairs in the first place and on the circular firing squad now devouring the Republican Party instead of exaggerating non-existent squabbles in his own head that he claims plague the Democratic Party.
Next we'll probably be hearing Nagourney on Charlie Rose telling us about how much Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barack Obama hate each other. The fact is the tables have turned in the United States; the electoral map has changed; former Bush states that have turned blue will not be easily turned back to red; and mainstream journalists like Nagourney should figure it out: the Democrats are united under the leadership of Barack Obama; the Republicans are disunited under the pseudo-leadership of Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal, and Tim Pawlenty and any other backbencher who surfaces. Now that's a story worth telling.

Dr. C. B. Kelsey, in the New York Medical Journal, March 26, treats of some of the rarer diseases of the rectum that result in stricture or occlusion. He exhibited to his class a case of chancroidal ulceration around anus and within rectum. He regards this ulcerative condition as one of the occasional sources of so-called syphilitic stricture. It tends to confirm the classical argument of Mason, who, nearly twenty years ago, called attention to the frequency of rectal stricture due to chancroid, although generally known as syphilitic. Venereal stricture seems very often to have a doubtful causation, for the reason that the practitioner is unable to follow up the changes that occur. We sometimes see specific vaginitis assigned as a probable cause of the trouble in females. There are more cases of venereal stricture among females, and they are apt to be refractory against specific remedies. The exact mechanism

Big Sky Country's known for its big game, but that also puts Montana near the top of a not so enviable list.
New numbers out from State Farm Insurance show Montana ranks number two in vehicle - deer collisions.
That's up from the number six ranking just two years ago.
That means, if you're a driver in Montana, there's a 1 in 65 chance you'll hit a deer in the next year.
The national average is 1 in 174.
West Virginia tops the list at a 1 in 41 chance of a deer collision, and Iowa, South Dakota, and Pennsylvania round out the top five.
The data also indicates October is the second most likely month for deer collisions, and November ranks first.

LOS ANGELES — Yosemite High School once offered six wood-shop classes. Now there are three.
Things got worse when a new high school opened in a neighboring district and many students transferred. Campus enrollment is down from 1,100 five years ago to about 700 today.
School officials are now looking to a faraway place for salvation. As soon as next fall, Yosemite High could welcome 25 students from China who would pay $10,000 or more in tuition to enjoy an American public education amid mountain scenery. They would boost revenue and inject an international flavor into a school with few immigrant families.
Two tuition-paying Chinese students are at Yosemite High, in Oakhurst, Calif., this year. Xiao "Travis" Ma, of Inner Mongolia, plays clarinet in the marching band, and Chengyu "Johnny" Zhang, of Shanghai, runs on the cross-country team. Though the local Chinese food is not to their liking, they appreciate the clean air and elbow room.

"Having students who pay tuition helps keep some of our programs more full," said Stephanie Samuels, a guidance counselor and international coordinator at Yosemite High. "We don't have a lot of exposure to other cultures. Our students benefit not only from the academic challenge but from meeting people from other parts of the world."
In looking abroad to fill seats, Yosemite is following the lead of underpopulated high schools in Maine and upstate New York, among other places. The number of tuition-paying foreign students in U.S. public high schools has jumped from a few hundred nationwide in 2007 to nearly 3,000 last year, according to federal statistics obtained by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel.
With newly prosperous families eager to educate their children in the West, China has become the latest frontier in public-school financing.
The rapid, largely unregulated growth in F-1 visa students, as they are known, has raised concerns about the role of private recruiting companies and the safety of teenagers in the country without their parents. The companies, which typically collect thousands of dollars in fees from each student, are knocking on school-districts' doors, looking to form partnerships.
Federal law requires public schools to charge F-1 students the full cost of their educations but does not specify how that cost should be calculated. Schools usually take their per-pupil state allotment and add supplemental grants to come up with the tuition figure.
"Because there's so much money that can be made, and because there's a lack of regulation, you're just going to see a lot of people rushing into this field driven by profit rather than the desire to provide students and schools with a quality experience," said Jay Chen, president of the Hacienda La Puente Unified school board.
The vast majority of tuition-paying international students still study at private high schools — 62,000 last year, up from about 6,000 five years ago. Most are from China or South Korea and plan to stay in the United States for college, bypassing a brutally competitive educational system back home.
Because foreign students are limited to one year of study at U.S. public schools, some then transfer to private schools, where there is no time limit, and where they are often charged steeper tuition than their American classmates.
Traditional exchange students, who use J-1 visas and must be sponsored by a State Department-approved nonprofit, do not pay tuition and return to their home countries within a year. In the past, F-1 visas were used primarily for college and graduate study. Now, they appeal to Chinese high school students whose primary aim is not cultural exchange but admission to an Ivy League university.
The Council on Standards for International Educational Travel offers a voluntary certification process, which includes background checks for host families and middlemen. So far, few F-1 companies have signed up, said Christopher Page, CSIET's executive director.
In addition to recruiting students, the companies serve as a liaison between parents and schools and set up the students' living arrangements.
Steven Dorsey, who manages the international-student program at Walnut Valley, Calif., has been barraged by companies looking to enroll Chinese students. But he refuses to work with them or expand beyond the 20 or so students, mostly from China and Taiwan, who find the district by word-of-mouth.
In nearby Hacienda La Puente, Calif., school-board member Joseph Chang was censured by his colleagues over allegations that he used his influence to benefit one of the companies. An investigative report commissioned by the district found that students were sometimes staying in homes without adult supervision, even lacking adequate food and heat in some instances.
Demand from China is so strong that enrollment should approach the cap next year, and Tower Bridge, one of the companies, may eventually expand into other school districts, said Merlyn Neilson, a company official.
"We're looking forward to having the students graduate from a highly rated high school in order to be able to get to UCs and, of course, to do the Ivy League," Neilson said.

Prosecutor v. Tharcisse Muvunyi
Case No. ICTR-2000-55A-T
by Jaime M. Gher* edited by Anne Heindel**
On September 12, 2006, the ICTR Trial Chamber delivered its judgment in the case of Prosecutor v. Tharcisse Muvunyi. Muvunyi was indicted on five counts-genocide, or alternatively, complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and rape and other inhumane acts as crimes against humanity. These charges were based on events that occurred in the Butare prefecture between April and June 1994. The Trial Chamber found Muvunyi guilty on all counts with the exception of complicity in genocide, which was charged in the alternative of genocide, and the crime against humanity of rape, based on evidentiary grounds. After considering various aggravating and mitigating factors, the Trial Chamber sentenced Muvunyi to twenty-five years imprisonment.
The Trial Chamber determined that Muvunyi held the Office of Commander of Ecole de sous-officiers (ESO). Relying on the ICTY Appeal Chamber's holding in Celebici, the Trial Chamber found that absence of a formal appointment, as was the case for Muvunyi, is not fatal to the finding of superior criminal responsibility so long as the de facto superior exercises effective control over his subordinates. As ESO commander, Muvunyi was "the most senior officer and commander on the ground with power and authority to make day-to-day operational decisions." As a consequence he was found to have exercised effective control over ESO soldiers during the period of April to mid-June 1994.
Muvunyi was found individually responsible for aiding and abetting genocide for deliberately refusing to prevent an attack by ESO soldiers on Tutsi refugees at the Groupe scolaire. By virtue of Muvunyi's position of authority as the most senior military officer in Butare, the proximity of the ESO Camp to the Groupe scolaire, the repeated nature of the attacks, and Muvunyi's instructions to protect one Tutsi family from harm, the Chamber determined that he could not have been unaware that his subordinates were committing genocidal acts. Although there was no evidence that Muvunyi directly engaged in the attack, the Trial Chamber found that his overall conduct substantially contributed to the crime. For example, he implicitly permitted a large number of his subordinates to leave the ESO camp fully equipped with ammunition to attack unarmed refugees. Additionally, his selective treatment of the refugees was found to amount to tacit encouragement of the crimes.
Muvunyi was also found responsible as a superior for the genocidal killing of Tutsi civilians by ESO soldiers at the Butare University Hospital, University of Butare, Beneberika Convent, Mukura forest, and various roadblocks in Butare. Despite insufficient evidence to hold Muvunyi individually responsible for the attacks at these locations, the attacks widespread nature, high-level coordination, and proximity to the ESO camp showed that he knew or should have known about them. As Muvunyi failed to take steps to prevent or punish his subordinates for these crimes, he bore superior responsibility for genocide.
In finding Muvunyi guilty of direct and public incitement to commit genocide, the Trial Chamber adopted Akayesu's elaboration of the elements of "direct" and "public." The "direct" element requires "more than a vague or indirect suggestion of incitement," thus implying that the expression must specifically provoke another to engage in criminal conduct. The Trial Chamber noted that cultural and linguistic factors, the nature of the audience, and whether the message was immediately understood by the audience are important considerations in making this determination. With regard to the "public" element, the Chamber took into account "the place where the incitement occurred and whether attendance was selective or limited." The number of listeners and the medium by which the message is communicated may also indicate whether the incitement was public.
The Trial Chamber's finding of guilt was primarily based on two public meetings of Hutu civilians at which Muvunyi likened Tutsis to "snakes" and "poisonous agents" and associated them with the wartime enemy. Such characterizations during a time of interethnic killing, and contextualized within the Rwandan language and culture, were found tantamount to condemning members of the Tutsi ethnic group to death. At one of the meetings, Muvunyi also reprimanded the bourgmestre of Gikonko for hiding a Tutsi man named Vincent Nkurikiyinka, and demanded that he be brought forward to be killed. As a result, the man was produced and killed by the mob. The Trial Chamber concluded that these facts satisfied the "direct" and "public" elements of the charge. Moreover, Muvunyi had the requisite mental intent for the crime, as he knew his audience would understand the implication of his words and intended his words to provoke genocide.
The Trial Chamber also found Muvunyi guilty as a superior for the crime against humanity of other inhumane acts. Muvunyi had knowledge that his subordinates engaged in inhumane treatment including the mistreatment of individuals at the �conomat General, the Butare Cathedral, and at the ESO camp; the humiliation two Tutsi women at Butare roadblocks; and the beating of Tutsi civilians at Beneberika Covent and Groupe scolaire. Despite having available material and human resources at the ESO camp, Muvunyi failed to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or punish the soldiers for these actions.
Finally, the Trial Court found Muvunyi not guilty of either individual or superior responsibility for the crime against humanity of rape. The evidence proved that Tutsi women as young as 17 years old were raped in the Butare and Gikongoro prefectures during the period in question. However, it did not support the specific allegation in the indictment that Ngoma Camp soldiers and Interahamwe militia members committed the rapes. Instead, it showed that ESO soldiers were responsible. Although the Prosecutor's pre-trial brief and opening statement attempted to cure this omission by alleging the responsibility of ESO soldiers for these crimes, the Trial Chamber found that "the Accused did not have the opportunity to defend himself against such a fundamentally different case." As a consequence, the Trial Chamber found Muvunyi not guilty on this count.
Notably, just prior to trial, without explanation the Prosecution had sought to amend the indictment and withdraw the rape charge in its entirety. The Trial Chamber denied the request, noting that the Defense had likely expended time and resources defending the charge, and that questions of double jeopardy and judicial economy merited against dismissal. Considering the substantial evidence the Prosecution brought forward proving that rapes indeed occurred, it is unclear why it did not seek instead to amend the indictment to name ESO soldiers as the perpetrators of the rapes.
In determining Muvunyi's sentence, the Trial Chamber considered as an aggravating factor Muvunyi's failure to exercise his duty to protect the community and his selective exercise of authority to save civilian lives. As mitigating factors, the Trial Chamber noted that, with the exception of the incitement conviction, the Prosecution failed to prove that Muvunyi was present for, gave direct orders to commit, or directly participated in or encouraged the crimes of which he was convicted. The Trial Chamber also considered Muvunyi's good character prior to 1994, the fact that he spent a good portion of his life in the service of his country, and the lack of evidence that he had ever previously discriminated on the basis of ethnicity.

Candice Swanepoel – Out Of Africa
I just came across Candice's latest project, 'Out of Africa' a cover story in Menstyle magazine. Really nice feature but not loving the style of the magazine itself. Anyhow, she graces it and makes it look 10x better.
"I'm a very independent person, and achieving what I have alone feels so much more rewarding."
Now occupying one of the highest profile and most competitive position in modeling as a Victoria's Secret Angel – the 22 year old Swanepoel is one of the world's top earning models with ads for Nike, Diesel and Guess under her belt. In interviews she appears to be the ultimate professional – never revealing more than the standard back story while expertly sprinkling the product or cause the interview is designed to promote.

Center Pavel Datsyuk is not in the Detroit Red Wings' line for Friday night's game against the Anaheim Ducks. The Red Wings' website says he's sidelined with an upper-body injury.
Prior to Friday, Datsyuk had registered goals in three straight games. It was the first time in more than a year that the Wings' Russian star had scored in three consecutive games. He has six goals and eight assists in 13 games.
Detroit recalled rookie forward Gustav Nyquist from their AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, to take Datsyuk's place. He'll play with center Valtteri Filppula and forward Justin Abdelkader on the second line.
Nyquist leads the Griffins and is tied for fourth in the AHL scoring with 45 points. He has 17 goals and 28 assists in 47 games. This is his second stint of the season with the Red Wings; he played in their home opener on Jan. 22.
Nyquist has one goal and six assists in 19 career NHL games.
The Red Wings also placed forward Todd Bertuzzi on injured reserve Friday with a back problem.

Michel Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" should have been the restorative after an unspectacular summer for movies -- a year, actually. One could put their blood into the profession if movies such as "Superman Returns," "Talladega Nights," or "Little Miss Sunshine" were abysmal or brilliant, extreme in either direction; it's the current state of pervasive mediocrity that has made recent criticism so burdensome. A Gondry film has normally been a destination date for its dogged innovation and sui generis worldview; it pained me, then, to see that while it has craft in spades and a smattering of quietly charming moments, Gondry's latest is ragged and overfull -- an undeniably singular, personal statement that paradoxically lacks any manner of focus or bearing, a mundane endeavour from one of contemporary cinema's most febrile and astonishing minds.
Gael Garcia Bernal plays Stephane, a graphic design artist who returns to the Paris apartment of his childhood following the death of his father. His mother, absent from most of the film, secures him a job at a boutique calendar printing company. Stephane arrives under the assumption that he's being employed for his painting and drawing abilities but is instead co-opted into more mundane administrative tasks. His personal life fares no better: he's perpetually turning down offers from his foulmouthed co-worker, who wants to pimp out the only woman in the office for a quick darkroom fuck, and he secretly yearns for the affections of Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who lives in the apartment directly opposite and shares his predilections for whimsy and caprice but has a maddeningly indeterminate and mercurial reaction to his bumbling advances. Stephane escapes from his mundane daily existence by retreating to a lo-fi dream world rendered in pasteboard, stop-motion, and psychedelic video art. As the star of "Stephane TV," he runs amok in his cardboard-box studio, musing bizarrely about the nature of reality, dreams, and his own stalled love life. Fantasy bleeds into life as Stephane makes physical reality malleable: we soar over Paris, and low-slung apartments, and even the occasional postcard monument, curl and bow like idols worshipping a supplicant; a shoebox-sized time machine held together by tape and string can send someone through time, but only in five-second increments.
"The Science of Sleep" is thus as haphazard as Stephane's visions, jumping abruptly from hallucination-dream-fantasy to reality and back again like a squirrel with ADD, and with a certain lack of internal logic. Gondry loads the spring of his narrative as though a windup toy and then lets it go with no idea where the thing will go. Yet at the same time, the director seems to be working overtime at trying to be quirky. In one random-association vignette after another, the film grabs you by the lapels and screams "I am organic! I am heartfelt! I am unforced and pure!"
As with "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," Gondry's feature-length zenith to date, "The Science of Sleep" tweaks the basic form of the romance genre, because it's not manifestly obvious that the couple will finally be coupled. Because if Stephane is childlike for his imagination and ingenuousness, he's also childlike in the pejorative sense, with a nasty petulance that surfaces whenever Stephanie spurns him. His apparent logic is that if the physical world is plastic and subject to his whim, then why not people and their emotions? The way the character is constructed throws the film into a conundrum, because even though we're supposed to be aligned with Stephane's addled mind and dogged alterity, he's fairly disgusting to behold. There's no inherent attachment built into his character--put another way, the man is creepy-weird, not adorable-weird. Even more disconcerting is that Gondry admits Stephane is proxy for himself (he lived in the same cramped Paris apartment building, worked the same dead-end job at a calendar company); it's an audacious move to have oneself so represented, warts and all. And Garcia Bernal manages to draw out the intricacy and claustrophobia of a man who is opaquely bound up inside his own mind with supple delicacy and grace.
"The Science of Sleep" is the first time Gondry has used his own screenplay as source material for a fiction. ("Human Nature" and the sweet, subtly breathtaking "Eternal Sunshine" were both penned by Charlie Kaufman.) The rationale, Gondry says, was that he didn't "want to have to question [his] ideas on an intellectual level." But if "The Science of Sleep" is any harbinger of future films, he's a director whose esoteric edge and feverishly imaginative mind needs a humanizing presence to tame the unfiltered effluent. Just as Wes Anderson needed Owen Wilson to bring some warmth and sincerity to his material --- "The Life Aquatic"'s sterilely schematic quirkiness arising from the one Anderson film that Wilson did not co-author--Gondry perhaps needs Charlie Kaufman to bring his ethereal personality back down to earth.

Take 2
by Kristi Mitsuda
With "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," Michel Gondry crafted a near-instant classic, a high-concept but emotion-driven formulation of love and regret to which seemingly everyone, on some level, could relate. That zap of universal recognition doesn't occur with his latest creation; more preoccupied with the specificity of its idiosyncrasies where its predecessor encourages general applicability, "The Science of Sleep" takes on a deeply private slant--watching it unfold, you at times feel as if you're invading the director's personal space. Perhaps this is why it takes a slightly longer stewing period to fully appreciate its brilliance, and longer still to realize that it may even surpass the former in unique loveliness.
It'd be easy to fall back on knee-jerk words like "whimsical" or even --- yes, that most despised of indie film descriptors --- "quirky" in discussing the movie, but to do so would be to mistake as superficial what is a far more beguiling, bone-deep weirdness at work in this delirious manifestation of the filmmaker's mental playground. Marking his first time out as both writer and director, "The Science of Sleep" sees Gondry sticking hard and fast to his sensibilities, and also reaching a bit further to tease out the latent aura of could-be creepiness that tends to hang just around the edges of his endeavors.
When Stephane (an achingly vulnerable Bernal) first meets Stephanie (and here Charlotte Gainsbourg's unusual beauty, which encompasses opposing properties--the ethereal and down-to-earth, the graceful and gawky--finds wonderful utilization) we could be forgiven our underestimation that what follows will simply be a tale of two fanciful individuals, misunderstood by the outside world, meeting and making their ways towards one another. Gondry allows us this suspension, acknowledging the playfulness of romantic relationships (and suggesting that really, what love comes down to is finding someone with whom you can let your freak flag fly). The familiar cuddliness of the distinctive handmade sets and props--all visible stitches and buttons --- serves to highlight the regression to childhood which mate -- building inspires, even as it compounds the slow realization that Stephane's initially appealing childlike nature more closely borders on a disturbing infantilism; his kookiness can't merely be absorbed into the adorable in the way of most eccentric lead characters. Complicating its accessible romanticism by interlacing idyllic dreams with a flawed and discomfiting reality, "The Science of Sleep" feels strangely the more soul-stirring.

Take 3
By Elbert Ventura
Hipster manifesto and monument to Melies, Michel Gondry's "The Science of Sleep" approaches greatness precisely when the magic wears off. For much of its running time, this twee fantasia exhilarates with its uncomplicated vision of arrested development as a state of grace. Stephane (Gael Garcia Bernal), the displaced dreamer at its center, is depicted as the ne plus ultra of cosmopolitan whimsy, a maladjusted flake whose dedication to art and avoidance of the real world are celebrated uncritically. Meanwhile, the dowdy but divine Stephanie (Charlotte Gainsbourg) is set up as the lonesome Stephane's soul mate, a kindred spirit who sees the world through the same kaleidoscopic lens. Taking place in a multilingual, pluralistic Paris--a setting that underscores the breakdown of borders in Stephane's head--"The Science of Sleep" is an awesome showcase for its director's untethered imagination. From the cardboard-constructed TV studio in Stephane's dreams to a stop-motion vision of a yarn-and-cloth ski resort, Gondry's film is a riot of bricolage and retro-hip gadgetry that pays tribute to the naif sensibility and the eureka moment.
If that sounds like it could be exhausting, it is. And the pleasant surprise is that Gondry knows it too. As the movie proceeds, the flagging whir of an overactive imagination begins to be heard more distinctly. The whimsy that seemed fetching at first glance is revealed as something more troubling. Positing that a river of pathology runs beneath its hero's beautiful-freak surface, "The Science of Sleep" suggests that male neurosis and insecurity come from the same fount from which vibrant art springs. Confronted with the reality of love --- indeed, the fulfilment of his dreams --- Stephane recoils and retreats to the safety of sleep. Read this way, "The Science of Sleep" becomes more than just a dazzling display of ingenuity, and something approaching a confession: an autobiography about the self-destructiveness of the eccentric. In a movie of eye-opening visions, that takeaway may be the biggest surprise of all.

Board trims redistricting options to two, for now
And then there were two. Probably.
The Henrico County School Board earlier this month eliminated from consideration one of three redistricting options created by a committee of citizens for the new Kaechele Elementary School in Short Pump. The board agreed that Option 3 (Revised Option F) would have too significant a domino effect, shifting too many students at other elementary schools and potentially costing the system Title I funding at Ridge Elementary School.
But the board also directed the school system's planning staff members to review the two remaining plans and consider tweaking them or creating a hybrid option of those two if possible. The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing to receive more feedback from the community during its Dec. 6 meeting at Hermitage High School, beginning at 6 p.m.
During its Nov. 8 work session, the board heard from its redistricting committee, which met 11 times during a two-month period to create the three options and also presented drafts during two public meetings to receive citizen feedback.
The majority of committee members favored Option 2 (Revised Option E), which would move about 36 percent more students than Option 1 (Revised Option A) among the affected elementary schools but would present the best set of compromises to all involved communities, according to redistricting committee vice chairwoman Alice Ann Howard. That map also would do the best job creating boundaries by major roads and geographical landmarks and would not change middle or high school feeder patterns.
Option 1 would provide the best enrollment balance across all elementary schools affected by the redistricting and would ensure that none of those schools were over capacity through 2016, redistricting committee chairman Bill Panak said. But it also would require a few irregular boundaries and would mean that not every community would receive a preferred option. It also would change feeder patterns for 333 students.
In addition to setting boundaries for Kaechele Elementary, the committee was tasked with providing relief for other nearby schools forecasted to exceed their capacity soon and to provide relief for those at or above 95 percent capacity currently. The committee considered the boundaries of 12 elementary schools when creating its maps.
Several School Board members expressed a desire to use West Broad Street as a dividing line between elementary school zones – ensuring that schools north of the road drew only from communities to the north, while schools to the south drew only from the south. Committee members said they had the same desires but were unable to make them a reality without involving even more schools in the process.
"We ran out of room," Howard said of the committee's attempts to use the road as a north-south boundary.
Still, School Board Chairwoman Diana Winston directed planning staff members to take another look and determine if that goal still might be accomplished.
Howard conceded that all three options underutilized Three Chopt Elementary, which is comfortably under capacity. But, she said, moving other students into the school's zone would have required shifting boundaries of schools beyond the 12 originally under consideration.
Map 3 would have moved 160 low-income students from Ridge Elementary to Pinchbeck, likely threatening Ridge's designation as a Title I school. Title I is a federal designation that provides extra funding to schools with a certain percentage of low-income students. Ridge would fall below that threshold with the move, while Pinchbeck would not quite reach it even with the addition of those students, Deputy Superintendent Pat Kinlaw said.
Once the board adopts new boundaries, rising fourth- and fifth-graders at any of the affected schools will be able to remain at their current schools if they choose. Students who move to the district to begin fourth or fifth grade, however, must attend the school designated by the new boundaries.

Shared airspace not for faint of heart
Letters and commentary policy
The U-T welcomes and encourages community dialogue on important public matters. Please visit this page for more details on our letters and commentaries policy.
- E-mail email@example.com
- Mail: Andrew Kleske, Reader Outreach Editor
U-T San Diego,
P.O. Box 120191
San Diego, CA 92112-0191.
Retired Navy pilots Steve Diamond and Bill Sanders are correct on maintaining Warning Area 291 flight rules, ("Sharing airspace a risky endeavor," A-1, Nov. 5).
Since retiring from Marine Corps aviation 25 years ago, I have accumulated about 15,000 hours flying contracted civil Lear jets inside West Coast warning areas for the military. Most of these have been in Whiskey 291 flying as radar targets from 100 feet up to 45,000 feet. Civil Lear jets are an economical training aid for Navy surface and air units practicing their skills.
In those years there have been surprises like near-collisions and a fatal midair collision of two Lear jets in March 1986, and also a civilian single-piloted twin turboprop that fatally impacted the water in 1989. In another unique incident, while towing a target for a ship, an unannounced F-14 flew behind me and snipped the cable. Seeing the New Jersey fire its supposedly cold guns was interesting. If one participates in military aviation long enough, strange things can and do happen.
Normal missions into 291 begin with checking in with Beaver Control, which updates the crew on which areas are hot and to be avoided. En route, it provides traffic advisories. But it's not like being on a civil airway where airline traffic is tightly controlled by air traffic control centers. There's far too much maneuvering traffic in 291, some of which is rapidly changing directions and at times going vertical in what are known as "fur balls." You can't train an F-18 pilot if he has to fly like it's a 757. That's why we have warning and restricted areas.
While all this is going on, the aircrew has to monitor three frequencies, Beaver Control, the ship or aircraft being worked and the company net to keep track of one's cohorts. Although it can be hectic (think talking on three telephones), it works quite well and sometimes is even boring.
The collision of a Coast Guard C-130 and a Marine Cobra was, of course, tragic. I know the Navy will thoroughly investigate whether there were any miscommunications involved and take appropriate corrective action. Tragic as the accident was, the "see and be seen" flight rules will have to prevail.

Oceanside recall campaign heats up
For the past seven years, it has been my honor to serve as both mayor and council member of my hometown. I also served more than 31 years as an Oceanside police officer. My time on the council has allowed me to serve and improve the city I love — until the last three years. Now I find myself in favor of recalling one of my fellow council members, Jerry Kern.
My first recollection of Kern was his fierce opposition to the El Corazon initiative. Since Kern has been on the council, he and his aide, Ben Sullivan, have bullied staff and turned his office into a partisan political office.
Kern has insulted speakers who appeared at our council meetings. He tried to overturn the city ordinance requiring lobbyists to register and identify themselves. Kern has worked to destroy our fire and police departments, cutting several of their public safety positions.
Budget cuts to public safety are not necessary — they are retribution. There is $5 million available to save our public safety services. Because of his actions, I ask you to recall Kern.
Mayor, City of Oceanside
Should Oceanside residents voice their displeasure with the recall election by boycotting it?
Abstaining will play directly into the hands of the unions, guaranteeing the recall's success. The unions will leave no stone unturned to get out their votes in favor of the recall.

Started out by taking the bike out and went trail riding, then off trail riding - and it snowed and it was awesome ... but by doing this I skipped the family dinner. Eh, Tude the blacksheep anyway. And I had fun.
So then we all had some nice warm-you-up shots (J. Black and Wild Turkey) while out there in the sticks, then hit a bar on the way home.
Just in time for my roommates to start their turkey (about 7 pm - they always eat late). Cool. Went and took a little nap and walked back downstairs to find my befuddled roommates scrambling around the kitchen. David, roommate, looked for the smallest fresh turkey and could only find a 20 lb. And so bringing it home and stuffing - then tried to put it into his convection/microwave oven and it didn't fit. So he modifed it. Cut the wings off, ultrafolded the legs (they were funny) and snipped of the neck flap area. Then got the turkey in the oven - figuring about hours.
At hour 1-1/2 - they saw the pop-out thingee was indeed protruding out of the - looks done turkey. So they were scrambling around getting the other stuff ready. I came downstairs and (cause I cook) was made the chief-o-the Meat ---- and found the very lowest part of the dark meat could have been done more --- but upon hearing that - roommates announced they hate dark meat and dove in. I like dark meat so I cooked mine a little longer.
Anyway. Accompanying foodstuffs. Stuffing made with --- rye bread (that's all he had). It was, unusual. Nothing I'd have again though. Canned gravy and some boiled canned potatoes. Didn't have time for a veggie as to the quick cooked turkey. Follwed meal with a minty ice cream. It was pretty good. However big meal at 9 pm equals ----- snoozing on the couch. I woke up with three kittens on me at 1 am and slumped up to my bed.
Washing the bike clothes now - and heading out for some road riding (with mtb) and hitting some fun, eclectric stores down on Monroe ave. Lots of dead leaves on streets - and lvin the snow (16F out). Cheers!!
