I. Announcements
There were no announcements.
II. Minutes of September 21st, 2007
Laura Fowler made a motion to accept the minutes; Stephanie McAndrews seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
III. Form 91A - Art Therapy Counseling, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (CAS-07-048)
The program wishes to eliminate the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate because the accrediting body no longer allows those without master's degrees to become licensed art therapists, so the certificate is not viable.
Gary Denue made a motion to approve the request; Valerie Yancey seconded. The request passed unanimously.
IV. Form 91A - Art Therapy Counseling, MA (CAS-07-047)
The program wishes to require at least three credit hours of undergraduate statistics as part of the psychology pre-requisites.
Stephanie McAndrews made a motion to approve the request; Laura Fowler seconded. The request passed unanimously.
V. Form 91A - Learning, Culture, and Society: Admission requirements (SOE-07-357)
The graduate program wishes to remove the requirements of a MAT/GRE score and letters of recommendation from its admission requirements. It does not believe that it gains any relevant information from these materials and wishes to remove the "unnecessary barriers to graduate student application and admission."
Anthony Denkyirah made a motion to approve the request; Laura Fowler seconded. The request passed unanimously.
VI. Form 91A - Instructional Technology: Admission requirements (SOE-07-356)
The graduate program wishes to remove the requirements of a MAT/GRE score from its admission requirements. It does not believe that it gains any relevant information from these materials and wishes to remove the "unnecessary barriers to graduate student application and admission."
Anthony Denkyirah made a motion to approve the request; Laura Fowler seconded. The request passed unanimously.
VII. Form 91A - Web-Based Learning Post-Baccalaureate Certificate: Admission Requirements (SOE-07-358)
The graduate program wishes to remove the requirements of a MAT/GRE score from its admission requirements. It does not believe that it gains any relevant information from these materials and wishes to remove the "unnecessary barriers to graduate student application and admission."
Anthony Denkyirah made a motion to approve the request; Laura Fowler seconded. The request passed unanimously.
VIII. Graduate Program Review Report: Civil Engineering
Steve McCommas of Biological Sciences, and Stephanie McAndrews, of Curriculum and Instruction, served as the graduate program review sub-committee.
The report was very positive. Recent improvements include adding a technical writing proficiency requirement to the program, and it has "added an explicit requirement for data analysis, to the final research paper … and the general option for study was removed to focus on a more in-depth program of study in one field."
The sub-committee gave three recommendations, quoted below from the report:
1. Offer courses more frequently so that full-time students can earn their degrees within two years and still be able to take more courses within their specialty area. Perhaps having more course offerings will make the full-time program more attractive and help reverse the trend of falling enrollment of the full-time students.
2. Provide more opportunities for graduate students to do research with faculty. According to Mark Rossow, "The most significant factor discouraging research is the lack of good quality graduate student research assistants." The graduate assistants come from the pool of full-time graduate students and therefore it is important to make the program more attractive to them. In addition to our first recommendation, providing more opportunities for graduate assistants to conduct research with the faculty should increase the quality and number of graduate assistants.
3. Hire more faculty and provide more courses in transportation to meet the student demand as well as the reported demand in the field. This was a clear priority from both faculty and students. The ability to offer more courses and research opportunities in this high demand area may also make the program more attractive to potential students.
The committee emphasized the need for lab space and more faculty. The department is currently conducting two searches.
Stephanie McAndrews made a motion to approve the report; Anthony Denkyirah seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
IX. Graduate Program Review Report: Physics
Daniel Dooly, of Computer Science served as the chair of the graduate program review committee, which also included Rita Arras of Nursing, and Allen Otsuka of Applied Dental Medicine. Dan Dooly read the committee's recommendations, which were:
1. The Graduate Program in Physics should continue to execute the plan outlined in the SAGE proposal to study other successful peer programs and emulate efforts to recruit qualified students to the program.
Rationale: The current enrollment limits the number of courses taught and the number of graduate assistants available.
2. Consider whether consolidating the program from the present three to one or two specializations will allow more resources to be allocated to the remaining specializations. Given that the photonics specialization is attracting the most students this specialization should be highest priority. Since one-fourth of those graduating since 2000 are working as educators, consider retaining that specialization.
Rationale: The small enrollment makes it difficult to support three specializations.
3. Increase contacts and ties with the community and with industry.
Rationale: This will improve the visibility of the program and hopefully help with recruitment of domestic students and employment opportunities for existing and future students.
4. Set reasonable benchmarks for recruitment, enrollment and graduation. Three graduates per year is the average, so this would appear to be reasonable. If the program cannot demonstrate this capacity, despite fulfilling other recommendations, the program should be discontinued.
Rationale: The national decline in graduate physics enrollments will not support the current number of graduate physics programs. While we would like to see the physics program here continue, it must be able to compete with other programs for the shrinking number of students.
5. If the program is to continue, serious attention needs to be paid to improving the laboratory space. Consolidating to one or two specializations might help free up some space, but there is probably little that the department can do without additional resources from the College of Arts and Sciences.
Rationale: Present space and facilities are unappealing and do nothing to attract students to the program.
The sub-committee's summary was as follows: "That the Graduate Program in Physics be continued for three years, at which time another Program Review should be conducted. The present program barely has a handful of students, but there are some glimmers that the program might advance in the next few years. Because there is a chance this program might become viable, it would be unfair to junior faculty in Physics working for promotion and tenure to eliminate the Graduate Program and deny them the opportunity to teach and utilize graduate students in their research endeavors. However, the Graduate Program must show progress on recommendations 1, 3, and 4 at that time."
Associate Dean Wendy Shaw thanked the committee for all their work before addressing the recommendations. Regarding #1, the College agrees that the major issue is the number of students in the graduate program. For #2, she felt that consolidating two of the options into one would not result in an efficiency. Regarding #3, CAS agrees that physics must seek to increase its ties with industry. For #4, the College feels that the Physics department is taking this report very seriously and is taking steps to move forward. Regarding Recommendation #5, the College of Arts and Sciences cannot address these issues on its own. Shaw added that the teaching load is in line with the expectations of the College and with other departments, emphasizing that the load in physics is not heavier than that of the other graduate programs and departments. She added that she agreed with the requirement that the Physics graduate program undergo an interim review in three years and is hopeful regarding what the Physics graduate program can accomplish during the next three years.
Abdullatif Hamad, Chair of the Department of Physics, also responded to the recommendations. #1. Although the graduate program has received money, the amount is insufficient for its needs. He taught a course that began with 23 students. He intentionally scared them so that several would drop the class because the equipment would not support that many students. The class enrollment shrunk to 12. The lab kits cost $20,000 each time they are used and they can only be used by one student once. He has had to cannibalize equipment to meet the need, but space is always a problem. The lab is crowded. They found two lab assistants but they have to share the lab with each other and Hamad is also sharing his lab with them. The equipment issues could be solved with internal and/or external funds. Hamad has drawn up plans to address this issue and has distributed tasks for each departmental committee that he has formed. Hamad added that the faculty should be encouraged to apply for external funds for equipment and that he is trying to work with other disciplines to find funding opportunities. He remarked that he is confident that faculty can be competitive in getting grants, but the departmental culture needs to change. He also said that the department does not cancel classes often, and pointed out that SIUE's master's degree in physics is not a terminal degree for optics and photonics. Successful students can go on to a PhD program.
In addressing the low enrollment and graduation rate, Hamad said that retention problems are due, in part, to their practice of weeding out weak students, noting that the program is getting "higher quality students" now. He pointed out the problems that 9/11 caused for international students in their pursuit of visas. Although international applications have dropped in the past five years, Scott Belobrajdic pointed out that international graduate application numbers are increasing. Another factor contributing to low enrollment is the low stipend for graduate assistants. Physics graduate students are in high demand and can be paid a higher stipend at one of the other universities in the St. Louis metropolitan area. Hamad stated that SIUE lost one student to SIUC because its physics program offered a higher stipend. He wants the Graduate Council to remove the cap on teaching assistants' salaries.
Regarding the course load, Hamad felt that the nature of physics courses is more demanding than that of other CAS courses. The department is trying to have the GAs teach labs for the first time, to help with the faculty load. His intention is to have physics faculty teach only two courses. In order to be successful in finding enough GAs, the physics department will need at least 14 graduate students. Currently they have eight graduate assistants, which is not enough to cover all the labs in three different branches. He has asked Dean Neely for two more teaching assistantships which would be exclusively for physics students. He is willing to discuss eliminating one of the options (optics and photonics, condensed matter theory and computational physics, and physics and astronomy education research) with his faculty, but does not believe that doing so would be of substantial benefit.
Regarding the length of the program, which should take about two years to complete, Hamad said that some students arrive with deficiencies, which increases their time in progressing through the graduate program.
Regarding contact with industry, Hamad said that the department has a committee to improve its relationships with industry.
Professor Hamad said that he was comfortable with the recommendation that the physics graduate program be re-evaluated in three years. He is confident that it will do well.
Associate Provost Hansen reiterated the major factors that are making it difficult for the physics graduate program to succeed. These include insufficient equipment and space, low graduate assistant stipends, difficulty in getting the best students, the implication of not offering enough courses, and the perception that faculty cannot participate in scholarship. Although he is never in favor of eliminating a graduate program, he asked the committee to consider the difficult questions of whether the program should continue, and whether or not the problems contributing to low enrollment and graduation rate can be solved.
Rita Arras said that since the Graduate School and the Provost's Office had invested in SAGE, and the outcome was yet undetermined, she felt that the Graduate Council owes it to the physics graduate program to let the impact of SAGE be known. Sometimes one thing can change many other factors. The committee remarked that the physics graduate program is in a fiercely competitive environment, and wondered what would happen to the department and its faculty if the graduate program should be discontinued.
Allen Otsuka pointed out that there had not been a great deal of progress between the last report of 2001-2002 and this report. Hansen interjected that there had not been any notable progress in about 16 years, since the report of 1990-91. Hamad pointed out that the graduate program implemented the revised program with three options in the fall of 2005, so felt that the physics graduate program was less than three years old. Associate Dean Wendy Shaw disagreed with the concept that there had been no movement since the previous program review. In 2004, CAS added a new faculty position in physics, and they have replaced two faculty and added an adjunct faculty in optics. She said that the next step is finding external funding, but pointed out that the three new faculty members are getting established so there may be a short delay before they can begin to bring in external funding. Nonetheless, the reputation of the new faculty members will draw students.
Hansen asked the committee to determine benchmarks to evaluate the graduate program's progress in three years. After discussion, the Programs Committee asked the program review sub-committee to add the following to its report:
"…the Graduate Program must show progress on recommendations 1, 3, and 4. The following benchmarks should be met at that time.
• At least 33% of the faculty should regularly submit external grant proposals.
• The number of applicants to the program should increase.
• The program enrollment should increase to at least ten students.
• At least three students per year should graduate from the program.
• The department should increase its connections with the local community and industry."
Mike Shaw expressed the Programs Committee's confidence in Professor Hamad's ability to lead the graduate program in physics into prosperity.
Jane Gillespie made a motion to accept the report as amended; Valerie Yancey seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Deadly drug is like 'poison in a package'
A deadly synthetic opiate is causing new concern, especially in Ocean County where law enforcement officials are already dealing with a heroin epidemic.
"Fentanyl is 100 percent more powerful than morphine," said Ocean County Prosecutor Joe Coronato. The drug is usually added to heroin, but now it's being distributed in its purest state. "It's like poison in a package."
Coronato said the drug comes in two forms, both of which are dangerous if abused.
"There's two type of Fentanyl: Fentanyl that's produced by pharmaceutical companies and then there's raw Fentanyl that's being produced by elicit drug manufacturers," he said.
Fentanyl is sold as a prescription patch for treating patients with severe pain, but also can be found in powder form, according to Coronato.
Fetanyl was linked to two separate deaths in Ocean County recently. Coronato said a 19-year-old Brick Township woman died after ingesting the substance. An 18-year-old man in Stafford Township also died as a result of using the drug.
"I've been in touch with the Attorney Generals of various other states and out in the midwest and apparently it's becoming a little bit more prevalent that Fentanyl is being sold by itself," Coronato said.
The opiate antidote Narcan, also known as Naloxone, reverses the effects of heroin and has been successful in saving at least 54 overdose victims in Ocean County since police began administering it in April. Coronato says it's unknown whether Naloxone can be effective in reversing Fentanyl overdoses.
"The bottom line is: when you take any drug, unless it's in pill form, you don't know what you're taking," Coronato said.

A Few Bad Apples
A Few Bad Apples
Americans should be able to trust their public servants to use their positions lawfully. That's why crimes that breach this trust are our top criminal investigative priority.
While thousands of men and women serve the citizens of Indiana with honesty and integrity every day, their work is sometimes overshadowed by the occasional crooked public official. Three examples are former police officers Robert B. Long, Jason P. Edwards, and James D. Davis, who committed the types of crimes they were sworn to uphold.
Here's how the Indianapolis Division and its partners brought these three men to justice.
In 2008, FBI Indianapolis received information from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) that some of its narcotics officers might be involved in theft or distribution of illegal drugs. The FBI worked closely with IMPD and the Indiana State Police ( ISP) to verify the allegations and then build a case with corroborating evidence. Agents used a wide array of techniques along the way—records checks, physical surveillance, witness interviews, and court-ordered telephone monitoring.
Then investigators asked themselves: Who else might be involved, and how far would these officers go to betray their community? To find out, they developed an undercover sting, using an abandoned building as a fictitious drug stash house where cash and marijuana were stored. The officers took the bait, robbed the stash house, and split up the money. They didn't realize, however, that FBI agents and officers form the IMPD and ISP were watching—until they were arrested along with their drug dealer. Long and Edwards were convicted on multiple drug charges and received prison sentences of 25 years and 17 years, respectively. Davis pled guilty and received 10 years in prison.
Solving this case sent a message that crookedness in government won't be tolerated.

Teen Mom
Model Christine Teigen Slams Farrah Abraham: "Everyone Hates You"
We're still unable to digest solid food thanks to Farrah Abraham's debut porn flick, Farrah Superstar Backdoor Teen Mom, and now rumor has it that Farrah might be baking James Deens's baby in her oven. The notorious porntrepreneur was spotted buying an EPT pregnancy test in the wake of her on-screen sexcapades, and we're so worried. Worried for the human race.
Not only are Farrah's Teen Mom fans traumatized by this latest development in Porn Gate 2013, professional model Christine Teigen has gone on yet another Twitter rant about everyone's favorite teenage dreamer.
Back in early April, Christine tweeted that she was "absolutely sickened" by Farrah, and has now added fuel to the fire by tweeting "farrah abraham now thinks she is pregnant from her sex tape. in other news you're a whore and everyone hates you whoops not other news sorry."
Way harsh, Christine. As you might expect, many of Farrah's die hard fans (we call them The Superstar Mafia) have accused Christine of "slut-shaming," and she isn't taking it lying down.
"How is calling out a willing (lied-as-leaked) sex tape participant who hired paps to photo her buying preg tests this AM slut shaming?" Christine tweeted, adding "Are we really gonna pretend like this girl just had an accidentally leaked sex tape? seriously?? what the f — is wrong with you?"
Let the controversy begin!
Do you agree with Christine's controversial anti-Farrah comments, or are you a diehard member of the Superstar Mafia? Hit the comments and tell us what you think!

I pay monthly: £1075 pcm.
Thanks for your response. I am thinking of negotiating with them on the reduction as £25 is too small an amount to buy parking space on the site. If I we can't agree on at least £75 I will be thinking of suing them or at least reporting to citizens advice bureau. Whether or not I decide to go to court, I've decided I will continue to pay my rents at the initial agreed rate until advised otherwise in writing or in court.
Many thanks for your adivce, I'll litigate for a few weeks and notify CAB so I can weigh my options and act on the best possible advice i get from them. Do you think that a signed document for the rent reduction can serve as evidence in my favour that the agency should've provided parking?
Ok, I'll wait for them to send the £25 reduction paperwork then I will reject the offer asking for £100 to start with.

Petition Against Annexation of ???

This activity explores a petition signed by over 21,000 native Hawaiians against a treaty that would have annexed Hawaii to the United States.
This activity is adapted from an article by Wynell Schamel and Charles E. Schamel.
Authors Notes
This activity is designed for a unit concerning American Imperialism. Grades 6-12. Approximate time needed is 10-15 minutes.
Ask the students to examine the document and answer the following questions:
- What type of document is it?
- Who wrote the document?
- To whom was it written?
- What is the date of the document?
- Why do you suppose it was written in two languages?
- What was the purpose of the document?
Based on the evidence, ask students to offer hypotheses about which annexation in US history this petition is about. After discussing their educated guesses, inform students that this is a petition against the US annexation of Hawaii. Tell students that this is just one of 516 pages in this Hawaiian Patriotic League petition that was signed by 21,000 native Hawaiians (out of a population of under 40,000).
Inform students that this petition contributed to a defeat of a proposed treaty to annex Hawaii. As a result of the petition, only 46 Senators in favor of the resolution to annex, less than the 2/3 majority needed for approval of a treaty.
The victory was shortlived, however as unfolding world events soon forced the annexation issue to the fore again. With the explosion of the U.S.S. Maine in February 1898 signaling the start of the Spanish American War, establishing a mid-Pacific fueling station and naval base became important to the United States. The Hawaiian islands were the clear choice, and this time Congress moved to annex the Hawaiian islands by Joint Resolution, a process requiring only a simple majority in both houses of Congress. On July 12, 1898, the Joint Resolution passed and the Hawaiian islands were officially annexed by the United States.

President-elect denies ever submitting to interview where he said he would review Israel treaty
Roi Kais and Reuters
Latest Update: 06.25.12, 21:02 / Israel News
Roi Kais and Reuters
The art of denial: Egypt's Islamist president-elect never submitted to an interview with Iranian news agency Fars in which he supposedly claimed that he would be reviewing the peace treaty with Israel, Mohammed Morsi's
spokesman said Monday evening.
"Mr. Morsi did not submit to any interview with Fars," the spokesman said, according to Egypt's official MENA news agency. "Everything published by this agency is baseless."
Related stories:
Accoding to the report by Fars, Morsi said he wants to restore long-severed ties with Tehran to create a strategic "balance" in the region.
Diplomatic relations between Egypt
and Iran were severed more than 30 years ago, but both countries have signalled a shift in policy since former president Hosni Mubarak was toppled last year in a popular uprising.
"We must restore normal relations with Iran based on shared interests, and expand areas of political coordination and economic cooperation because this will create a balance of pressure in the region," Morsi was quoted as saying in a transcript of the interview.
Fars said it had spoken to Morsi a few hours before the result of the vote was announced
on Sunday.
Asked to comment on reports that, if elected, his first state visit would be to Riyadh, Morsi said: "I didn't say such a thing and until now my first international visits following my victory in the elections have not been determined".

Iran subsequently hailed Morsi's victory over former general Ahmed Shafiq in Egypt's first free presidential election as a "splendid vision of democracy" that marked the country's final phase of an "Islamic Awakening".
In contrast to comments he made in a televised address after his victory was announced on Sunday, Fars news quoted Morsi as saying Egypt's Camp David peace accord with Israel "will be reviewed", without elaborating.
The peace treaty remains a lynchpin of US Middle East policy and, despite its unpopularity with many Egyptians, was staunchly upheld by Mubarak, who also suppressed the Muslim Brotherhood movement to which Morsy belongs.
Asked about his policy towards Israel, Morsi said that Egypt under his leadership will pursue an "egalitarian policy" matching the two countries' status. He added that Cairo will discuss the restoration of Palestinian rights and review the Camp David agreements. He stressed he will not be making any decisions alone but rather in conjunction with the cabinet and other governmental agencies.
Morsi was declared
Egypt's first Islamist president on Sunday after the freest elections in the country's history.
The election commission said Morsi won with 51.7% of last weekend's run-off vote versus 48.3 for Shafiq. Turnout was 51%. Voter turnout in the first round stood at 46%.
In his first address to the nation,
hours after being declared Egypt's new president, Morsi pledged to "preserve international accords and obligations" - a reference to the peace deal with Israel.
However, Morsi did not specifically mention Israel or the 1979 treaty.

Mitt's "Problem" Redux
Back at the beginning of the year, I wrote a piece suggesting that putative 2012 Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney might have a hard time overcoming his sponsorship of a form of health care reform in Massachusetts that was impressively similar to that great socialist abomination, ObamaCare. This has now become a pretty common refrain in the early 2012 handicapping (viz. this Jonathan Martin-Ben Smith item in Politico yesterday), to the point where the estimable Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic posted a rebuttal to the Mitt-as-Toast hypothesis yesterday.
Ambinder made four reasonable points about Romney's potential viability regardless of RomneyCare. Let's consider them in order:
(1) RomneyCare may look more successful by 2012. I don't think the problem with RomneyCare is that it's unpopular or unsuccessful in MA; it's that it bears a lot of resemblence to ObamaCare, which is by definition, regardless of public opinion or objective reality, a horror to the kind of people who participate in Republican presidential primaries.
(2) Health care may not be a transcendent Republican issue by 2012 (just as the Iraq War began to recede once the 2008 Democratic contest reached its climax). Sure, other major issues of importance to Republican primary-goers may emerge, but until such time, if ever, health reform is repealed, there is virtually no chance that it will be forgotten by 2012 (and it can't be repealed before then unless Republicans win every single Senate race this year and also win two-thirds of the House). If the Iraq War is a suitable analogy, as Ambinder suggests, I think it's indisputable that Barack Obama would have never emerged as a viable presidential candidate in 2008 if Hillary Clinton hadn't voted for the war resolution and then refused to say she made a mistake by doing so. Other issues mattered, but that was the big threshold issue. (One of my fellow Mitt-o-skeptics, Jonathan Chait, did a response to Ambinder today that mainly focuses on his own belief that RomneyCare will actually be a bigger issue for Republicans in the future than it is today).
(3) The Republican nominating process is "hierarchical," and especially favorable to establishment figures like Romney. This is something you hear all the time, and it's valid in the very limited sense that the rules for awarding delegates in Republican contests don't demand strict proportionality, and thus help front-runners consolidate early victories. But in 2012, as in 2008, Mitt's problem could be getting out of the gate, not finishing off the field. Recall that in Iowa in 2008, he couldn't survive what was basically a one-on-one contest with Mike Huckabee, despite a vast financial advantage and endorsements from most of the local GOP establishment, and even though he was running as the "true conservative" in the race. None of Romney's problems from 2008 (a wooden speaking style, a history of flip-flops on cultural issues, his religion, his history as a corporate downsizer) have gone away, and it's very likely the Iowa Caucuses will be even more dominated by cultural conservatives than ever, given the huge importance of the gay marriage issue to conservatives in that state. Add in RomneyCare, and the odds look pretty bad; skipping Iowa like McCain did is a possibility, but would also give another candidate a good chance to become the early front-runner, going into two states (Michigan and New Hampshire) that Romney can't lose and still have a prayer for the nomination.
(4) Romney is just too reasonable and accomplished a candidate to get knocked out by one issue. Maybe so, but as noted above, he has more than one problem, and as it happens, "one issue"--in fact, one utterance--knocked Mitt's father, George, out of the 1968 presidential contest, and his resume was if anything stronger than his son's. If I were a Republican, I'd actually be worried that Mitt's sitting there soaking up attention, endorsements, and poll numbers that could go to some attractive darkhorse candidate, leaving the GOP with a very weak field if he does go belly-up. And you don't have to be a total Democratic partisan to observe that Republicans aren't disposed at the moment to be completely rational about their choice of candidates: a recent PPP survey suggested that nearly as many rank-and-file Republicans think it's more important to nominate a candidate who is "conservative on every issue" as those who think it's more important to nominate someone "who can beat Barack Obama."
In any event, with all due respect to Marc Ambinder (who may simply be playing devil's advocate), I'd say the burden of persuasion should be on those who think Mitt Romney's stronger than he was in 2008 than on those who think he's in very deep trouble thanks to RomneyCare.

Delivered that is!
Our $13.99 special 3 topping with free order of breadsticks ended up costing us $26!!!
$20 minimum (I don't remember a minimum of $20 before)
$5 delivery fee (that's skyrocketed)
+ tax
One Happy Mama actually
I don't have to drive into town in the rain during Fantasy Fest.
I guess it is all worth it!
But we're still not ordering for delivery anymore.
Pick up after events - sure.
Delivery and a scalping? Not!
Inspired by Soule Mama today...
Right Now, I am:
feeling... the boat rocking ever so slightly now
enjoying... the sound of lashing rain
wondering... about costumes, whom shall I be this All Saints??? Marianna chose hers today.
family... the time spent with my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Steve
listening... to the new Pink Martini, especially enthralled with Ojala...
drinking... Jack O'Lantern Chai
watching... Hamlet or An Ideal Husband tonight, both highly recommended for our turn of the last century studies.
loving... the bookmark Marianna made
wanting... to kiss the captain of this vessel
looking... out the ports at our wonderful, wonderful new location - yep, we've moved! Pictures to follow, I promise!
One more stupendous announcement from the California contingent of our family occurred last week. Vanessa was accepted at Stephens Collegewith enough scholarships to make your jaw drop! Congratulations, Vanessa!
She looks good in maroon and gold, doesn't she?
Love you, Vanessa!
Quick update:
Mom's tickets were changed from Tuesday evening Ft Lauderdale to Orlando Monday evening, we were able to pick her up easy as pie.
We all hung out and had a wonderful time at the Doubletree at the entrance to Universal. (I want to remember that hotel, great prices and location.)
The evacuations were lifted finally and we were allowed back into the Keys yesterday. Mom, Marianna and I are staying in the Upper Keys at a friend's house, Hal is back on the boat and has reported that the S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen came through Hurricane Ike with winds in the 70-80 mph range with no damage.
We can only hope that Texas and the rest of the Gulf Coast experience a similar Ike.
We're evacuating to Orlando.
Candles are flickering away at the Hurricane Grotto today. Bands of intense rain and wind are pushing through every few hours today. Yet, even as we deal with the reality of Hurricane Gustav our eyes turn to the east and Hanna. Have you ever seen one hurricane fuel a second? Watch the satellite.
ETA: Pictures and links aren't loading properly today. Sorry!
Hal and I are back on the S/V Mari Hal-O-Jen this morning, see the sunshine in the picture? Yay! Now if the wind would only die down just a tad, it is still elevated at 20 or 25 knots, I'd guess.
It'll be back to work for Hal this afternoon, the combat divers are still heading out today so he needs to be there and I plan on doing some cleaning and polishing on the innards of this vessel while he's away.
Oh, I did want to update on the shelter situation last night; all of the landbased folks could return home around 6pm and the boaters were then spread out into other rooms. We ended up in a great setup, one kitchen area stocked with coffee pot, microwave and blender, one bedroom with TV, one living room with a 2nd TV and a couch and desk. It was nicer than the rooms we rent on Homestead's Base when we head for the mainland!
Thank you for all the lovely notes and phone calls over the past few days. They meant the world to me!
The official message board for the marina.
The first notice and a scrawled update from Saturday.
The Sunday 1200 Update.
I hope you can read them, no time to rewrite the notices!
Marianna has been enjoying submitting a drawing for Barb's Sketch Tuesday assignments this summer.
Go check out this week's slideshow.
Take a guess as to which sketch is Marianna's.
Confirm your guess here!
Consider submitting a sketch yourself, next week's topic is to sketch something with wings.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you all a heads up. As far as I can tell, there was a price hike in our Time Warner cable bills for August 2010 here in Rochester. I don't remember getting a warning about it, but I also don't tend to read their letters that usually start with them stroking themselves off.
Here is my last bill the nazis sent me compared to my current bill. Sneaky how they changed it around a bit so the details are hidden and it almost seems like I am saving money! Again, I didn't change anything on my plan at all.

Thanks for saving me money guys!
Anyways, dropping cable is long overdue. I will miss it probably once every 2 weeks when I have that moment where watching sports center would have been nice, but there is no way to justify this sort of expense on something that is used so infrequently. It really does suck that there are no other outlets to get, say, ESPN, but I have my podcasts and the internet and hulu and netflix. What else do I need? Certainly not worth it.
Drop cable boys!Read More

Rated 5 out of 5 by souper1 very tasty This sauce was so simple to use. Pork loin or shoulder cut in pieces, and sauce added to crock pot. There was so much rich liquid that I added peeled red potatoes and let it all cook on low. It was fabulous!! I can't imagine that this chef's product,or any of his products would be anything but exceptional. February 12, 2014

On the Town
by Leslie Pariseau, 08/11/2010
Ninth Ward
180 Second Ave., East Village, Manhattan
Summer in the East Village—not unlike summer in New Orleans. Tourists and students have disappeared. Locals amble along at their own pace fanning newspapers and sipping wheatgrass shakes. Sub a Gambit, an Abita, pretend it's not Second Avenue and voilà—NOLA. Attempting to bring a little of Satchmo's Eden to downtown, the bar with the hotly debated moniker, Ninth Ward, has opened its weather-beaten shutters to the hipster crowds. It's difficult to ignore the implications of such a name, but it appeared one afternoon that the neighborhood's happy hour bar flies could, especially with the help of two for one beers and long, icy cocktails. Perhaps they aren't New Orleans prices ($7 for a beer, $13 for cocktails), but the selection is decent with Abita Amber and fresh juice splashed into everything from G&Ts to the Marie Laveau—a tipple in honor of Louisiana's 19th century voudou queen. The bar is a dark and cool escape from avenue heat with an unexpectedly lush courtyard to catch evening breezes, and it's unmarked (for now), so there's a chance you can duck in sans patio-seeking-packs. If you're game and good at pretending, get here before NYU returns. It'll be Mardi Gras come September.
Terroir Tribeca
24 Harrison St., 212-625-9463, TriBeCa, Manhattan
If Tribeca were a vineyard, its terroir would include hints of iron running-boards, aromas of heavy wooden beams, a nose of well-heeled neighbors and loads of pale yellow Riesling. The East Village's new downtown sister Terroir Tribeca has captured and distilled these topographical elements into a characteristically more sophisticated and much larger space, from which the land is definitely benefiting. The guys behind the bar are Riesling fiends, so if you're a Rhine region lover, it'll behoove you to consult with the whip-smart staff about summer's stock of long-necked bottles and inquire about an audience with Germany's Riesling Queen (no joke). If you're not a fan of Germany, you can try a Barbaresco reserva described as "Robert De Niro in a Stella McCartney gown," or consider a South African cabernet sauvignon preceded by a 700-word essay entitled, "The Glory of South Africa, Volume 1." A bit intimidating at first, Terroir's wine binder is fun at second thumbing. Between inviting Vladimir Putin to a glass of wine, pooh-poohing Robert Sietsema's Voice grumblings and praising Jane Jacobs' neighborhood planning efforts, Terroir manages to entertain and entice the wine-shy into something new and strange. The food is familiar, but if the East Village's bar snacks were solid, Tribeca's are superior. Still simple and only slightly serious, dishes like the frisée salad with crispy duck confit ($10) and thick slices of bruschetta with divine Fett' Unta olive oil ($4) may lead you to forget your glass for a moment. Faultless paninis like the house smoked ham, fontina and mustard ($11) raise the question, "Why don't we put everything between two slices of bread and smash it on a hot grill?" Happily, panna cotta with grappa soaked cherries ($6) and a glass of Hermann Wiemer's Fingerlake Magdalena Riesling ($13.50) confirm exactly why not.
34 Eighth Ave., 212-518-2722, West Village, Manhattan
In Roman times, the toga-clad would schlep oil and wine around in big handled clay vessels called amphoras. Merry making and bacchanalia would proceed as togas were removed and left hanging about the unassuming clay pots. Anfora in the West Village is less about debaucherous fêterie than lovely, low-key evenings spent over killer wines and snacks. Sibling to the adjacent Dell'Anima, Anfora might become a rival when guests awaiting reservations next door discover the house Highball (gin, Fernet Branca, ginger ale and lime, $12) and lamb ragu sliders ($9). One bit Meatpacking, with spacious, loungey booths, and another part steely, modern bar, Anfora balances out over the offbeat wine list, which will draw geeks with the "Sophia" from Cantina Giardino, 2007—an anfora aged white ($16 a glass)—and schmoozy New York housewives with a curvaceous 1998 Barolo from A&G Fanino ($25 a glass). The rest of us will munch on chorizo and grilled cheese alongside a friendly, but beautiful Rioja from Lopez de Heredia ($14-16 a glass) or skip to the end (depending on how you look at it) with pineapple-almond upside down cake ($7) and Raventos Cava rosé ($14 a glass). Also a unit of measurement, the Roman amphora was about 26 liters of liquid celebration. If Anfora, the bar, sticks around for a while, we could nip one of those in no time.
177 S. 4th St., 718-486-DRAM, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
The sun's setting and the first drink goes down easy. The second drink, sipped from a weighty tiki mask, slides down nicely too. The third you've left up to the bartender who now knows you pretty well. You may have told him about your last two dates while sharing a key lime wedge from Pies 'n' Thighs across the way with a newly acquainted barmate. Such is an early evening at Dram.
Vinyl spins in the background, and a luminous oversized canoe casts shadows up and down maple-syrup-colored walls. An aberration from most cocktail dens, Dram's floor-length windows are thrown open to the street, letting twilight seep in amongst punchbowls and lovers in booths. Calves dangle along stools and relieved staff linger about for last words and Diesel stout.
House-made ginger beer is like summer-mown grass, piquant and green in variations on a gin-spiked, mint-muddled southside and the "knuck if you buck" buck, a keen and clean mix of rye, lemon and lime juice. A negroni on the rocks with hand-carved 'bergs is well-suited to long sipping at the windows. If this was New Orleans, we'd spill onto the sidewalk, slinking along to the house's swerving records, hootch in plastic cups. But we're still in Williamsburg, cocktails in coupes, legs in cutoffs, courting long evenings along the windows.
Aria Wine Bar
117 Perry St., 212-242-4233, West Village, Manhattan
Aria's wine is organized by woman. Alisia is a warm, heady tempranillo. Joy is the racy "Naked" Riesling. Nsiki is a complex, but gorgeous merlot-pinotage-cab franc blend. The Verdemar '09, an albariño from Riax-Baixas, made by the vibrant Grand Dame of Rioja, Maria Martinez-Sierra, tops the list at $8 a glass. Also for $8 is the souffle de cioccolato, which we, the fairer sex, will inevitably order at the end of the evening. In one window seat, three ladies sipped and slipped into the weekly cocktail hour conversation, shuffling through work, pinot grigio, men and merlot-cabs. Behind them plates of cicchetti, or little snacks, were delivered to long wooden tables and a shiny tile bar—mushroom piled bruschetta and goat cheese stuffed eggplant—as classic cocktails were shaken and shimmering Village couples got close over little tables and window nook stools. Certainly Aria can be appreciated by women at the end of a long day, like those lounging in the window seat—who eventually drained their glasses, exchanged kisses and departed—but also by the men who worship them and the fruits of their labor.
Mission Dolores
249 Fourth Ave., 718-399-0099, Park Slope, Brooklyn
Mission Dolores may not be a destination, but for a neighborhood bar, it's just fine. In the bit of Brooklyn just short of Park Slope yet not Gowanus, the self-proclaimed "weird beer bar at 4th and Carroll" isn't all that weird. It has its quirky charms—what was once an auto shop is now an expansive courtyard where sticky summer nights can be spent drinking local brews and watching neighborhood dogs flirt. The owners, also of Bar Great Harry's in Carroll Gardens, "know it's getting old to brag about reclaimed shit, but we really went bananas." Secondhand pinball machines and well-worn wooden tables are quickly crowded even during the week, and though there's no food—box up some Two Boots slices or strawberry pie from Four and Twenty Blackbirds—there are plenty of draught beers, shots of Fernet with Grolsch chasers and wasabi Bloody Marys that arguably could constitute dinner. Named for the old San Francisco neighborhood, Mission Dolores has only been open since April, but the bathroom walls are already inked with condemnations and odes ("Welcome to the ample hills/ Park Slope 'til death"). Maybe not 'til death, but we could while away an afternoon or two.

Planting focus: Using plastic containers
Some gardeners are intimidated when it comes to planting containers and feel more secure buying pre-planted arrangements that are ready to go. But it's a missed opportunity to express your individual style, and planting your own also allows you to custom-design a container to complement (or match) the exterior colours of your home or to link up visually with the permanent plantings in your garden. This lovely planter that hangs outside the back door of plant expert Marjorie Mason's house at her garden centre in Uxbridge, Ontario, reflects the English country aesthetic Marjorie favours.
Container lesson
Plastic pots are lightweight and inexpensive, and are perfectly acceptable for hanging baskets, providing the plant material quickly hides the pots themselves. Most plastic pots are coloured white in order to reflect sunlight and keep the root zone of plants cooler; black pots absorb heat and work well to make the most of limited sunlight—particularly in the spring and autumn—making them excellent season-extenders (especially useful for vegetables).

Finishing 4th or better in the first half and 3rd or better in the second half of next season.
That Honda Pedrosa combination looks strong and Lorenzo seems to be always strong, even if the Yamaha did suffer in performance compared to the Honda.
But as another poster quite rightly bailed me up about is the fact that Lorenzo lost an engine last season and this may have had an influence on the Yamaha's performance.
I say 4th or better because I think Marquez may get up to speed very quickly. But once Rossi klicks with the Yamaha...

NEW YORK – In 18 months since Hurricane Sandy, federal assistance to New York totals nearly $8.7 billion. FEMA continues to assist the state in its recovery and with its resiliency plans so that it will be better able to withstand future storms.
The following is a summary of the federal and state assistance provided in the New York Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts from Oct. 29, 2012 through Apr. 18, 2014. For this disaster, FEMA's Public Assistance program reimburses local, state and tribal governments and eligible private nonprofit organizations 90 percent of eligible costs for emergency and permanent work.
• Nearly $2.5 billion obligated by FEMA for infrastructure repair and replacement, debris removal and emergency protective measures.
• More than $35 million obligated by FEMA for resiliency against storms and coastal flooding.
• Nearly $1 billion spent to help individuals and families meet their basic needs and begin to recover. This includes $864 million to pay for transitional housing for families displaced by Hurricane Sandy.
Rebuilding New York Infrastructure
FEMA Public Assistance funds have been obligated to reimburse local and state governments and certain nonprofit entities for debris removal for emergency protective measures and to rebuild infrastructure and replacement. Thus far, it includes the following in Mitigation and in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP):
Resiliency (Mitigation)
• In addition to funding repairs of public projects, the FEMA Mitigation program has obligated an additional $20.2 million to make those projects resilient against storms and flooding.
• More than $15.7 million has been obligated by FEMA through the Hazard Mitigation Grant program that is administered by the state.
National Flood Insurance Program
NFIP has paid more than $3.7 billion in claims to flood insurance policy holders.
FEMA Individual Assistance
• FEMA referred 211,968 households to the Individuals and Households Program.
• The program disbursed nearly $1 billion to survivors. Of that total, $864 million was for housing assistance.
• Maximum grants of $31,900 were given to 5,247 applicants.
• Nearly 5,600 survivors received more than $8.9 million in disaster unemployment assistance.
Small Business Administration (SBA)
• SBA has approved 23,192 individuals and businesses for disaster loans totaling more than $1.57 billion.
• Of that, about $1.3 billion was approved for homeowners and renters and about $265.1 million approved for businesses.
New rebuilding projects continue to be approved as New York recovers from Hurricane Sandy and builds resiliency.

Fel Flame is a core warlock ability learned at level 77. It is a quick-hitting spell that deals Shadowfire damage. This is similar to the mage ability [Frostfire Bolt], in that the lower of the two resistances (in this case shadow and fire) on the warlock's target will be used for calculating its damage. The goal for Fel Flame is to provide a spell that's good for mobility. The ability uses green fire and is instant cast.
Modified by Edit
- [Void Ray] ( demonology spec ability)
- [Mastery: Emberstorm] ( destruction spec ability)
Patch changes Edit
- Patch 5.4.0 (10-Sep-2013) Fel Flame now deals 13% more damage, costs 2% less mana, and no longer increases the duration of damage-over-time spells.

We had 5-6 inches of snow the night before last.
I got the bus to work yesterday, but today my winter bike was ready for action.
I'm working at a new location... downtown... and the bus service is pretty good. The bus stop every 15 minutes just outside my door and lands me about 1/2 mile from work.
There's also a cycling route that is mostly on bike lanes, so I'm pretty pleased with this new gig.
How's your winter going to shape up?

Vanessa Nelson
Where are you from?
I was born in Ohio but moved to San Diego with my family when I was about 1. I have really great memories from my time in Ohio, lots of journal entries made by infant-me, and lots of stories I will one day pass on to my great-grandchildren. Other memories I have include my 23 years living in San Diego, but who wants to hear about that?
What did you study in college?
When I got to college, I knew that because I liked to do arts and crafts in my spare time, I would be THE NEXT BIG THING in the art world. So I was an art major and I loved it. Until I realized I was bad at it and I didn't love it. I ended up switching my major to psychology and I immediately felt like I was home.
What were some of your favorite on and off campus activities as a PLNU student?
Some of my favorite PLNU activities include '70s Skate Night, Superhero Bowling, Musoffee (music and coffee!), and the musicals put on by students. I lived on campus all four years without a car (no regrets) so I got to be part of the spontaneous and creative activities that students threw together in the middle of the night. We made music videos to "Independent Woman Part l" and "Golden Years," on the soccer field and our Greek Amphitheater, respectively, watched some cute boys create their own skate park in the middle of the Fermanian parking garage (maaaybe don't tell Public Safety that), and biked through Balboa park at 1am, eating ice cream and telling stories.
What one piece of advice do you wish you'd have heard before starting your freshman year?
Do not be limited by expectations (from yourself, your parents, or people you just met). Be free to sign up for things that don't make a lick of sense in your life-goal-timeline. Get involved in things when you don't know anyone else, join something even when you know you're going to be bad at it, and show up to something even when you never in your life saw yourself participating in it. Join a completely random club, sign up for intramurals with people you've never heard of, and travel as much as you can, on a small or large scale. Take a road trip last minute during fall break with people in your hall ... or sign up to go to India with Loveworks even though it makes your mom nervous.

The Calgary Flames rode two power play goals to a win over the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night, denying Detroit a chance to pass the Nashville Predators for the top spot in the National Hockey League.
Daymond Langkow scored on Calgary's first power play of the game to get the Flames out in front early. Just 1:47 into the first period he jumped on the rebound of a Dion Phaneuf shot all alone at the top of the crease, flipping it past Detroit netminder Dominik Hasek.
Kristian Huselius added another power play goal with 2:26 remaining in the second period. A long shot by Phaneuf bounced off the back boards as Hasek went down to try to draw an interference call on Calgary's Jarome Iginla. The puck came over to Alex Tanguay in the left circle, who sent it across for Huselius to lift over the sprawling Hasek.
Pavel Datsyuk scored Detroit's lone goal between the Calgary tallies, carrying the puck from the Red Wings' blue line into the Flames' zone and faking around Craig Conroy before wristing a quick shot past Miikka Kiprusoff.
Calgary's two goals came on five power play chances. Detroit was held off the board on their lone chance with the Flames in the penalty box.
Hasek finished the night with 21 saves on 23 shots against. Kiprusoff stopped 30 of the 31 shots he faced.
The Red Wings will be back in action on Thursday when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets in what could be Todd Bertuzzi's first game in the Detroit lineup.
Notes: Johan Franzen returned to the Red Wings lineup after missing four games with an upper body injury. Darryl Bootland was a healthy scratch before being returned to the Grand Rapids Griffins after the game... Chris Chelios was given the night off.
The Wings (temporarily) make up their game-in-hand on Nashville tonight. A win puts them back on top of the Central (and the Western Conference) but the road team has lost every game of the Detroit-Calgary series this season.
Johan Franzen returns to the lineup, with Darryl Bootland as a healthy scratch.
Well, there is one certainty, and that's Calgary hates to lose at home. I'd expect Detroit to be a sitting duck tonight, but I hope I'm wrong.
Anyway, nice summation on the game tonight. I would like to see Bertuzzi tonight.
Go Wings.
Wings really just survived the first. Flames controlled the flow but still couldn't get too much going. I don't have an awful feeling yet.
Ugh. Dom, they're not calling anything on the Flames, don't waste your time trying to draw one, just stand up and make the damn stop.
I don't think the Wings got set up in the Calgary zone once all game. All their shots were on rushes or from the perimeter. Strong D by the Flames.
Of course, the 5-1 PP advantage had to help them. Unless I'm counting wrong (possible), in the last four games the Wings have had 13 power plays compared to 27 for their opponents. Man, they've gotta be more disciplined. And that number is 5-18 if you take out the Vancouver game.
The Wings taking alot of penalties. I have to wonder if its because they are struggling on defense and on the back check against stronger, faster teams. The Wings could definitely need some help on the fore check too. They have not had a sustained offense the past two games (Vancouver and Calgary). Despite having key players out, the fact they can't generate the offense, along with poor performance in their own zone, I have concerns. There is very little difference, i.e. skill, power, by the top eight Western Conference teams. Getting out of the first round will be a challenge, no matter if the Wings are 1st or 4th.
couldn't agree with you anymore, Detroit needs the likes of bertuzzi, zetterberg, and the goal-scoring cleary back in the lineup. Either way, they need to start skating a lot harder for the whole game, not just a period, because thats what it takes in the playoffs.
It doesn't matter how many games a team wins in the regular season. A team with the best record can be gone in the first 7-10 days of the first round. Its playoff time now and the Wings have to make up their minds that they may have to do it without the likes of keys players. We need grinders, smart, determined guys that score the "ugly" goals, who step up with play that makes opportunities to win. Thats how games are won in the play-offs. Fancy stick handling, fancy passes and most points in the regular season don't translate to wins in the play-off stretch . Go WINGS!!!!!!

My fellow Clydesdales,
With all the threads springing up on handlebar preferences, positions, and whatnot, I just wanted some clarification. It all started with this thread for me:
Where are your hands on the bar when you ride?
As mentioned in the above thread, I really prefer riding the curvy part of the tops of the drops...if you get my drift. That's where my hands are positioned about 80% of the time. Not the hoods, not the flat tops, and not the drops. I still use the other 3 positions based on just switching hand positions, climbing leverage, or AERO tucks for headwinds/downhills, etc.
My preferred hand position is the second picture from the left above.
Anyway, I was wondering, are there any NITTO Noodle users here? And if so, is that part really comfortable on your hands? The reason I ask is because the description for the bars on the Rivendell Bicycles website (http://www.rivbike.com/webalog/handl...ape/16111.html) has led me to believe that it would be the perfect road handlebar for a rider like me. That curvy part wasn't so comfortable on the Bianchi San Jose I test rode a while ago...but it's real comfortable on the 1970's 10-speed I rode into the ground.
Thanks in advance.

"Horns," based on the outstanding novel by Joe Hill (son of one Mr. Stephen King), concerns Ig Perrish (Radcliffe), a lost young man who wakes up one day with devilish horns growing out of his forehead. The horns give off certain powers, like causing people to open up and reveal their innermost secrets (snakes also have a new-found fondness for him, and it'll be interesting to see how they translate that, given the parseltongue connection to his most famous role...). Perrish decides to use these powers to discover who really raped and murdered his girlfriend (most of the town suspects he did it).
Minghella will play Lee Toruneau, a public defender and Ig's best friend, who may know more than he's letting on about the murder. It's one of three really major roles in the piece, with the last one (of Ig's brother) still yet to be cast. At one point Shia LaBeouf was set to star, but he'd probably rather be banging people in Lars von Trier's movie anyway.
"Horns" was adapted by Keith Bunin, a writer from HBO's shrink series "In Treatment," and the movie will be produced by Red Granite's Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland along with Mandalay's Cathy Schulman and Adam Stone. Hill and Red Granite's Joe Gatta will exec produce. It looks like this will be the first movie Aja has made away from his longtime writing/producing partner Gregory Levasseur (unless Levasseur is still on board in a limited capacity).
Aja is the super-talented French director of "High Tension," "Mirrors" and Aja-fied remakes of "The Hills Have Eyes," and "Piranha" (all much bloodier and more political than their original counterparts). His remake of Bill Lustig's immortal "Maniac" (which he co-wrote and co-produced with Levasseur) was just picked up by IFC Midnight after playing at Cannes. We love Aja's work and think he's the perfect person to bring the novel -- a heady mixture of pulp and pathos -- to the big screen.
Minghella, for his part, just finished shooting Joe Johnston's thriller "Not Safe For Work" for Universal, and is currently working on the Shawn Levy comedy "The Internship" for Fox. We suspect "Horns" could be ready for Halloween next year.

Barri Bronston
Babies have a natural proclivity for banging, but what may seem like haphazard movements (and a lot of noise) are actually providing researchers at Tulane University with important data on how humans learn to use tools.
A study led by Bjorn Kahrs, a post-doctoral research scientist in Tulane's Department of Psychology, suggests that tool use develops gradually, beginning in infancy when banging is uncoordinated through early toddlerhood when it is more precise and efficient.
"The movements are all over the place at 6 months old," Kahrs said. "But through the second half year the moves become more consistent. It's almost a straight up and down movement, which is what you do when you hammer at something."
The study, which was published in the journal Child Development, examined the developmental trajectory of banging movements and its implications for tool use development. Kahrs, along with psychology professor Jeffrey Lockman and student Wendy Jung, studied the movements of 20 babies ranging in age from 6 to 15 months at the Tulane Infant and Toddlers Development Project laboratory.
Using digital motion-capture technology, the researchers covered the arms and chests of the babies with reflective markers that could be detected by the high-speed motion-tracking cameras. The babies were handed toy hammers, then allowed to bang to their hearts' content. As they banged, software transformed the images from the cameras into moving three-dimensional images of the activity.
"The way in which they used their hands went from one that was random to one that was consistent with aiming for a target," Kahrs said.
The project is part of a more extensive child development study being funded by a $1.6 million award from the National Institutes of Health. The study is also analyzing how infants develop hand-to-mouth coordination during the first year and how they develop early writing skills.

Cleaning up the complex
Crime drops at apartments after October raid
SPRING VALLEY Sylvia Huggins and her two young nieces had the shock of their lives one Tuesday morning last October when authorities raided a crime-infested apartment complex in Spring Valley.
"I was just combing their hair, getting them ready for school, when I heard all this ruckus outside," Huggins said. "Twelve officers barged into my apartment with their guns drawn. They handcuffed me at the door and began searching my room.
"I told the girls: 'I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on.' "
The hectic scene Oct. 7 was part of a "maximum enforcement sweep" by 105 peace officers from nearly 20 agencies at the 60-unit Villas at Casa de Oro complex on Helix Street near Bancroft Drive.
The raid was organized by sheriff's Detective Bill Kerr in coordination with District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and East County Supervisor Dianne Jacob.
By noon, officers had arrested 13 residents, uncovered an identity-theft ring and rescued a baby from a methamphetamine-smoking grandmother. Numerous building and code violations were found, including one two-bedroom apartment that housed 21 people.
"We didn't break a single entry door," Kerr said. "We didn't have to fight or cause injury to any of the suspects, and no officers were injured. Without question, it was a very successful operation."
Five months later, calls to the Sheriff's Department had dropped 79 percent – from 291 to 62 – and crime had dropped 85 percent compared with the five months before the raid, sheriff's officials said.
While many residents were shocked and upset by the raid, others, including Huggins and the property manager, were pleased with the results.
"It's pleasant now to come outside and meet the new neighbors," Huggins said. "As far as I know, most of the crime has stopped and people are friendly with each other."
There's no more drug dealing in the common area and residents regularly talk with their neighbors and plan family activities, she said.
Despite the improvement, crime hasn't disappeared. A shooting March 27 wounded an 8-year-old boy in the foot. Gunmen fired through a closed apartment door and then fled.
The complex manager, Sasso "Sash" Usvet, said he continues to try to improve security.
"The raid was helpful," Usvet said. "(But) if you don't know how to maintain what the (deputies) did, the crime will return."
Usvet said he has finished several projects: installing a video surveillance system; adding fences to circle the property; organizing a Neighborhood Watch among residents; and tightening a screening process for prospective tenants.
The Sheriff's Department said the apartment complex is among 43 in the Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program countywide. Sixty other complexes are in the process of being certified as crime-free.
Kerr said he spent two months planning the raid, calling 19 other agencies to get them to commit to sending representatives or sworn officers to help. The list included La Mesa police, state parole, the state Department of Justice, the state housing division, county probation, county code enforcement, county Child Welfare Services and the FBI's narcotics task force.
A day earlier, Usvet gave deputies keys to each door and gate on the property. At 7 a.m., the teams quickly moved through the complex, entering doors of those on probation and knocking on doors of those who weren't.
Within 20 minutes, deputies deemed the complex "secure." It took five hours to process those arrested, gather evidence and move all personnel out, Kerr said.
He said a key to the raid's success was persuading the owner of the complex to cooperate.
Jacob said her office got involved after neighbors called to complain about crime at the complex. She was also advised by the Sheriff's Department that the complex manager was not cooperating and was part of the problem.

As part of the "Business skills transfer programme for ecotourism development", learning tools have been developed to support the conservation community to develop successful ecotourism products and services:
Learning tools
Integrating Business Skills into Ecotourism Operations: A "How to" Guide for the design and implementation of a training workshop
The "How to" guide provides an overview of the key steps to follow in organising and running a training workshop on business skills for ecotourism development in any given country or region. The guide goes through the different phases of development from design to planning to conducting the training. In doing this, it provides advice on selecting the geographical scope, determining the budget, designing the agenda as well as choosing who to invite as participants and instructors. The guide also directs readers to useful tools and resources.
Textbook on integrating business skills into ecotourism operations
The textbook is designed to help conservation organisations, community-based organisations and protected area managers plan and run effective ecotourism businesses. It is divided into six sections: Understanding your Market and Product, Developing a Sustainable Business Plan, Running Sustainable Operations, Marketing and Sales, Human Resources, and Health and Safety. Each of the sections includes a discussion of why that particular topic is important, what it means, and how it applies to ecotourism businesses. Each section also includes case studies, checklists and revision questions. At the end of the book, there is a list of resources that may be useful in developing your ecotourism business.
Materials from previous workshops
In organising 4 workshops from 2008 to 2012, many materials were produced which in themselves serve as learning tools and can also be adapted to suit individual purposes:

BELOIT (WIRF) -- One part of this story that isn't being talked about much is what the casino means for public safety.
When the Rivers Casino was built in Des Plaines nobody thought about how police and fire officials would be able to get a hold of each other inside the building, but it turns out the fortress like structure blocked radio signals. Fifty-thousand dollars later the problem has been fixed, but we wondered if the same thing could happen in Beloit.
Beloit's Chief of Police says the department's all for the casino and he doesn't see any big issues, except the stress that could be put on 911 operators. More officers will be hired to work nearby but police say it's no different than policing other big areas like a mall or a school.
Police say they are more worried about the health of the elderly clientele the casino will likely draw than the crime that could accompany it.

CHICAGO (AP) — A physician with 15 years' experience at Cook County's public hospital has been named CEO.
Dr. John Jay Shannon has been interim CEO at Cook County Health and Hospitals System since his predecessor left in March.
Crain's Chicago Business reported Friday (bit.ly/1jWpgyy ) that the 54-year-old Shannon has had assignments at the organization several times over the years. Most recently, he returned in 2013 after serving as chief medical officer at Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas.
He replaces Dr. Ramanathan Raju. He left to take the head post at New York City Health and Hospitals Corp.
The health system includes John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, Provident Hospital and a network of clinics. It serves a large number of uninsured and low-income patients.
