AlohaDecember 26,2013Its fortunate for President Barack Obama that he happens to be from Hawaii. He has a good excuse over the Christmas holidays to fly far from Washington, far from the weather fronts raging across the Eastern states, far from the political bickering and gamesmanship that from a distance seem so small.
Instead, he has repaired to Kailua, Hawaii, tucked neatly on the rainy side of the mountains from Honolulu. Obama grew up in an apartment building in downtown Honolulu with his grandmother, who was a banker. The building is still there. So is the Baskin-Robbins where he worked when he was in high school.
If you call up the weather app on your iPhone and punch in Kailua, you will see that every day this week the weather will be 79 degrees (high) and 72 degrees (low, with a low of 70 degrees on Friday and Saturday). The first family will be able to enjoy the seclusion of a protected compound near the beach. But he has been known to venture out to the shopping plaza for shaved ice, as its called, with his daughters (think snow cone with exotic flavors), not to mention the golf course.
It beats cutting brush, which was the preferred recreation of Presidents Reagan and George W. Bush. George H.W. Bush favored the speed boat he kept at Kennebunkport, Maine. Bill Clinton was into golf and schmoozing.
There is no escaping your duties if you are president; at least, the rest of us think theres no escaping. Even on the golf course, youve got to be wondering about Syria and healthcare.gov, not to mention South Sudan, where chaos appears to be spreading. Who would have guessed that South Sudan would be featured during the presidents daily briefing on Christmas in Hawaii?
All the year-end commentary has suggested that 2013 has been a year from hell for Obama, starting with the high of the inauguration in January and the heady prospect of success in pushing for gun-safety legislation, immigration reform and the successful launch of Obamacare. He had a mandate after vanquishing Mitt Romney in the election. He had popularity and poll numbers. The Republicans were back on their heels.
But his tally of troubles is a long one. Back on their heels or not, the Republicans have been able to block him at every turn. The election of 2010, which turned control of the House to Republicans, was an enduringly fateful and consequential election. The House does not have to do much of anything, and it hasnt. Thus, the Houses failure to act becomes Obamas failure, and Obama gets the blame.
How much nicer to sip passion fruit juice on the lanai as the sun appears above the blue Pacific. Presumably, this 17-day interlude in Hawaii is not a period of indolence for Obama. One imagines that he is clarifying his thinking, sharpening his plans, gearing up and getting ready for what is to come. The challenges are as daunting and as multifarious as are all the lingering complaints that people tend to nurture. We imagine that the president can embrace our troubles and solve them. But he is one man, standing on a beach, looking out to sea, wondering, what next.
The rest of us will be scraping away the ice, shoveling the slush, getting back to work after the holidays, perhaps fortified from the good cheer and holiday warmth that we enjoyed. Its a complicated world, and in our own little spheres we have our jobs to do. Soon enough the Obamas, after lovely days of benign weather and balmy waters, will be back in the cockpit of controversy at the White House. The nation has invested much of its hopes and aspirations in the leader whom it has steadily thwarted as he works on our behalf. Its crazy. It makes Hawaii look good.

Technote (FAQ)
How can the interchange header on enveloped data be missing when I have enveloped transactions?
This is valid for send Maps. WebSphere Data Interchange will not create an interchange header for one of the following reasons:
1) You did not provide a value in ISA06 of the Envelope profile. WebSphere Data Interchange will not create an interchange header if the interchange sender ID is missing from the envelope profile. If you did not specify an override Envelope profile on the Send Map usage, WebSphere Data Interchange uses the Envelope profile that's the same name as the EDI Standard.
2) The Envelope type field of the Send Map Usage contains a 0 for the Envelope type.


text: I am looking at a Cannondale Los Dos and was wondering why they were only made for 1 or 2 years? Can anyone enlighten me on this? The one I'm looking at has had the bars and shifters changed to drops and STI's, so that is one thing I won't have to worry with. Also it has 26" tires, which is ok by me, but I wondered if I would need to upgrade the gearing for a better topend, since I was looking at this bike for fairlty fast century rides. One other thing, does anyone know if you can install 700 rims and tires on this frame? Thanks to all of you for the knowledge that you bring to this site.

Most of us try a new cosmetic or skincare product straight away without thinking of doing a patch test beforehand. After all, what are the chances of a cosmetic product causing a negative reaction? Unless you have very sensitive or allergy prone skin, you have more than likely used quite a lot of products without any side effects at all and think patch tests to be an unnecessary annoyance. Until you slather a new product on your face and your skin suddenly becomes all red, swollen and irritated! What can we do when that happens?
1. Figure out what products are causing the problem
Sometimes, it's easy to find out what product is causing the irritation or allergy. If you have just applied a new product, such as foundation or moisturizer for example, on your skin for the first time and, after a few hours, your skin is red, itchy, swollen and irritated, then stop using it immediately as it is clear that it is causing problems for you. But unfortunately, allergies can develop at any time and, even products that you've been using for years can, all of a sudden, cause a negative reaction. In this case, try eliminating a product at a time from your beauty routine until you find the culprit.
2. Find out what ingredients are causing the allergy
Now you know what product you reacted badly to, have a look at the ingredient list. I know, all those long, scientific names can be quite daunting! Start by finding out if the product contains a fragrance as that is, very often, the main culprit. Next, look at the preservatives. Those that work by releasing formaldehyde (DMDM hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, and 2-bromo-2nitropropane-1, 3-diol) and methyl chloroisothiazolinone/ methyl isothiazolinone, and to a lesser extent parabens, can all cause allergies. Of course it may be that you are reacting to something else entirely so just compare the ingrdient list of the product that caused the allergy to the others in your stash until you notice one or two that are present only in the culprit one. That's likely to have caused the problem. But of course the only way to be sure would be to consult a doctor and do some allergy tests.
3. Use a cortisone cream
Figuring out what caused the allergy is very important, but in the meantime, what can we do to treat our skin? Use an over the counter cortisone cream, such as Cortaid, which are easily available. This will relieve the itching and reduce inflammation caused by the allergy. Keep applying it for a few days until your skin has gone back to normal. You should also consult your doctor, who will be able to prescribe the best treatment and also identify what triggered the reaction.
4. Don't irritate skin more
Until your skin is back to normal, it's necessary to treat it very gently to avoid irritating it even more. If you're using skincare products with active ingredients such as Retinoids, Benzoyl Peroxide or skin lighteners, discontinue their use until the allergic reaction has subsided as they may be too harsh for irritated skin and make things worse. In addition, don't sweat, rub skin, exfoliate (not even with a washcloth) and don't use products with fragrances on the irritated area.
5. Consult a doctor
Of course, when you get an allergic reaction or just an irritation, it is always best to consult a doctor for proper treatment. But let's face it. Most of us, just apply a cortisone cream and wait for the negative reaction to subside. And very often, that works. However, sometimes that's not enough. If you don't see any improvements after about six weeks, then you could either have a very, very severe allergic reaction that may need oral antihistamine (which need to be prescribed by a doctor) to heal or you may not have an allergy at all but a skin condition like psoriasis, rosacea or eczema for instance. In that case, consult a physician for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Have you ever had an allergic reaction to a cosmetic product? How did you treat it? Share your experience in the comments.

Kenneth Branagh's fifth foray into Shakespeare alights in the sheltered gardens of HBO, where the whimsical, romantic "As You Like It" seems better suited than, say, withstanding the challenge of a theatrical release.
Kenneth Branagh's fifth foray into Shakespeare alights in the sheltered gardens of HBO, where the whimsical, romantic "As You Like It" seems better suited than, say, withstanding the challenge of a theatrical release. Filled with some of the bard's more memorable lines but also one of his most convoluted plots, this latest adaptation takes notable liberties — beginning with situating the action in 19th-century Japan — not all of which work. Still, it's a handsomely mounted production that will surely be welcomed by English majors the world over, especially those who would rather watch their homework than read it.Assembling a top-notch cast, Branagh opens with a haiku that helps explain the location shift, centering on a community of European traders residing in Japan. The idea yields a striking opening — as ninja-like warriors descend on Duke Senior (Brian Blessed) and drive him into retreat — but beyond that and Patrick Doyle's lovely Asian-influenced score, the device doesn't amount to much, and there's a dearth of Japanese-looking faces. Synopsizing "As You Like It" has confounded better critics than this one, but the primary thrust hinges on Senior's daughter Rosalind (Bryce Dallas Howard), who falls madly in love with the disinherited Orlando (David Oyelowo) after watching him defeat one of the court's wrestlers (now, of course, a sumo). Like her father, Rosalind, too, is banished by her usurping uncle Frederick (also Blessed), fleeing into the Forest of Arden with Frederick's daughter Celia (Romola Garai) and the court jester, Touchstone (Alfred Molina). To ensure their safety, they adopt the ruse of having Rosalind masquerade as a boy, Ganymede, and in that guise she encounters Orlando, testing the obviously farsighted lad's love for her. Orlando, meanwhile, is being sought by his jealous brother Oliver (Adrian Lester), who later falls instantly in love with Celia. Throw in Touchstone's comical liaison with the goat herder Audrey (Janet McTeer), and the web of interlocking relationships and mixed-up identities all build toward a joyous, multimatrimonial ending. If there's a weak link in the sprawling ensemble, it's Howard. Rosalind is a tricky role given her gender-bending fits of exasperation, jubilation and cunning, and at times those swings simply feel beyond her. The midsection also drags, perhaps inevitably, though to his credit Branagh does put his cinematic canvas to good use — from the few action sequences to the sumptuously shot (by cinematographer Roger Lanser) scenes of Arden at Wakehurst Place, a park managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens never before captured on film. This adaptation nevertheless represents an ideal HBO project — offering major stars an opportunity to engage in classy work that would likely possess marginal appeal if forced to meet the ruthless demands of weekend box office or network ratings. Placed in that context, Shakespeare got it half right: All the world's a stage, but perpetuating a certain image — more so than the play — ah, that's truly the thing.

Some physicians will write prescriptions in advance for young women so they can have immediate access to emergency contraception if the need arises. In order to be most effective, emergency contraception should be used within a few days of unprotected sex. Writing prescriptions for emergency contraception in advance makes it easier for women to take it right away and can reduce barriers they may face in trying to access it when they are under time pressure. My goal in this blog is to discuss some of the ethical issues raised by physicians writing preventive prescriptions for emergency contraception.
Some are concerned that the practice of physicians writing prescriptions in advance for emergency contraception will condone, and even encourage, young women's sexual activity, especially premarital and "promiscuous" sexual activity. As with nonemergency forms of contraception and the HPV vaccine, some believe preventive measures against the risks involved with sexual activity are a tacit endorsement of sexual activity. On a related note, even if people did not oppose young women's sexual activity, they may still be concerned that writing prescriptions in advance for emergency contraception will discourage young women from using nonemergency contraception.
Also there is the concern that young women may not understand how emergency contraception works and how it is different from nonemergency contraception. Part of what underlies this concern is that minors may not be able to give fully informed consent to use emergency contraception (or even nonemergency contraception). Some people believe that parental consent is necessary precisely for this reason – that minors may not be able to give informed consent for emergency contraception because they are not able to understand and assess the risks and benefits of emergency contraception. Furthermore, given the controversial nature of sexual and reproductive matters, some parents claim that they have the right to be informed about their child's sexual reproductive life so that they can help guide and even make decisions for their child. When weighing children's autonomy versus parental obligation to nonmaleficence and beneficence toward their children, some believe that parental paternalism is justified because parents are best situated to make decisions for their children since children, especially younger children, are often viewed as lacking full decision-making capacity.
In contrast, some argue that young women's reproductive autonomy should be upheld, even if they are under 18. Because sexuality and reproduction is such a personal matter (as well as a controversial political matter as mentioned above), some claim that reproductive decisions are best made by individuals themselves and not by their parents or others, such as healthcare providers or the government. Some may see the request for a preventive prescription for emergency contraception as an example of mature and responsible behavior that is further evidence that young woman are capable of making reproductive decisions for themselves. According to mature minor statutes, minors are able to obtain medical treatment for specific health-related conditions without parental consent, including sexual and reproductive health (an exception is abortion, as some states have parental consent laws for abortion). Under the mature minor statutes, women under 18 should be allowed to get preventive prescriptions for emergency contraception.
Some take a consequentialist approach and argue that banning preventive prescriptions for emergency contraception will lead to more negative outcomes not only for individual women, but also for their partners, families, and society. Given that half of all pregnancies in the US are unintended and that close to half of all unintended pregnancies end in abortion, allowing prescriptions for emergency contraception could reduce the prevalence of abortion. Discussions about emergency contraception with healthcare providers – which are a prerequisite for getting a preventive prescription for emergency contraception – could also lead to further use of nonemergency contraception and more overall responsible reproductive behavior (e.g. barrier methods to prevent STIs). On the broader social level, some believe that inhibiting or denying any type of reproductive health care unjustly treats reproductive healthcare differently than other types of healthcare. Furthermore, treating reproductive healthcare differently disproportionately affects women, which some see as a covert form of sexism.

Edward Skyler has worked for Mayor Michael Bloomberg since before his election, and was actively campaigning for the candidate when the 9/11 attacks took place.
We discussed his experiences on 9/11, his goal to provide quality health care for all recovery workers, and the importance of public service in American communities. As part of commemorating September 11 as a National Day of Service, Causecast and The Huffington Post are pleased to present our interview with Edward Skyler.
On 9/11 and your experiences, where were you and can you talk a little bit about what that day was like?
Skyler: It was the day of the mayoral primary, so the mayoral candidate Michael Bloomberg had voted on I think 81st or 82nd street and we walked (it was early in the morning, probably 7:30, quarter to 8), downtown from the upper east side to the campaign headquarters, which was I think on 56th street in 2001. Basically, right about the time I walked up to my desk, we always had the TV on, and saw the first images of the Trade Center on fire, and we obviously, like the rest of the world, were glued to our televisions the whole day. Obviously, campaigning was going to be put on hold for the foreseeable future. The primary election was quickly canceled and rescheduled for two weeks later.
Obviously, you were in the middle of a political campaign. Moving forward, did you feel like a different focus would have to be placed on public service, or were you just in the mode that you had to defer to the president and the international community?
Skyler: Well, we didn't think it would be appropriate, as he was not an elected official, for him to do anything public, so whatever efforts he undertook, he did pretty discretely. We opened up our office building to recovery workers and rescue workers and responders and we gave them food and gave them a place to rest, but we didn't do anything on the campaign end until after the primary. I just remember thinking that, after the attack, I felt I very much wanted to see him win. I very much wanted to work for the city the way I had five years before and be part of a team that would help the city recover.
So, in those days and weeks after 9/11, you must have seen a lot and explored the city as you were campaigning. Is there a story of service or heroism that stands out in your mind?
Skyler: I think that one of the parts of any type of disaster like this, who flies under the radar are sadly the medical examiner's office. They don't get the same accolades that police officers and firefighters get, since they're out doing the actual rescuing. But, they handle the very difficult part of these situations very admirably and humanely and with a lot of dedication of skill. They work 24/7 and their mission is to unite loved ones with those who they lost. They're still, as an example of their dedication, doing that eight years later. They still have material that they sift through to see if there are any bone fragments that they can get DNA from. I've had the privilege of working with them through the years. I think that they - its a sad sign of an already sad story, but one that should be recognized.
As part of the administration, you've been active in exploring the long term health impacts of 9/11. So, it's eight years later. What still needs to be done to address the effects of that day and why hasn't more attention been paid to those who are still suffering and may not have received the treatment they need?
Skyler: I think what has to happen is federal government at every level needs to recognize that the attack - this was an attack not just on a New York City but on the country and its response is a national obligation. And, the city has invested a lot into the efforts to help those who have become ill but it is well outside the city's means to do truly comprehensive treatment programs. It's also not feasible or efficient because not everybody lives in New York City. There are people from almost every state in the union who are affected by this, so this is not New York City's - New York City isn't the best entity to spearhead that even if it had the money, which it doesn't. We've had readership in the Congress by several members of the New York delegation. The Bush Administration never seemed to be responsive to the need but we're hopeful with the reappointment of John Howard of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health that there will be recognition on the federal government's level that there are people here that still need help.
You said that providing care for 9/11 workers is a national issue, and you've been pretty firm on that over the last few years. So, in light of the recent debate concerning health care reform, do you think New Yorkers and especially those who lived in Manhattan during 9/11 might have a different perspective on public health than a lot of people in other parts of the country?
Skyler: I don't know if their perspective would be different, because I don't see it so much as a public health issue as much as a response to a disaster. Just the way the federal government provides funds for the clean-up and the economic recovery, they should also supply assistance for people's physical health and allow and support that recovery whether it's mental health or physical health. So, I don't see it so much as part of the health care debate. This is an issue that shouldn't be an issue, frankly.
I don't know how you felt about public service and volunteerism before 9/11, but do you feel like your perspective on volunteerism and giving has changed since that day?
Skyler: I think the perspective for me that's changed is that in this day and age, normalcy can be shattered within seconds and become an elusive concept. I think that for those of us that work at this level, any day that goes by that nothing happens is a good day.
What are the major issues that are still affecting New Yorkers after 9/11 and what can our readers anywhere across the country do to continue to support these efforts?
Skyler: Well, I think the first thing they can do is support health care and the efforts to get treatment for those who are physically hurt by the attacks and sickened by the attacks. I think the second thing is that people have to pressure their public officials so they don't become complacent. We've had roughly the same time from the first attack on the World Trade Center to the second attack on the World Trade Center as we've had from the second attack to today. We're dealing with a very patient enemy and they are hell bent on attacking this country again. So I think we need to make sure that those who are charged with protecting us don't become complacent and believe that this threat has gone away, because it hasn't. And that type of complacency can invite an attack and put people at risk.
Based on that, do you feel like, eight years on, people are reverting to what was referred to during the Bush Administration as a pre-9/11 mindset? Just as after the 1993 attacks it wasn't very much talked about that this kind of attack could take place.
Skyler: I can't gauge what the public sentiment is. I can just tell you that whatever the public sentiment is, the leaders in government need to make sure that they don't become complacent, they don't allow complacency to set in. A lot of us don't believe the threat has gone away. The job of government is to lead, not just to respond to what public opinion is. It's really government's job to assess the threat and make sure the country's protected regardless of whether people feel more comfortable than they did previously.
So, what do you plan on doing on September 11 this year?
Skyler: I've generally gone to the ceremony at Ground Zero and I'll either be there or in the office or some combination of both. One of the areas where we've answered President Obama's call to service, our service initiative here is, we have an emergency preparedness program. The key to that is teaching people CPR, people volunteer for the Red Cross, encouraging people to come up with their own disaster planning, making sure that kids in school are educated, how to prepare for eventualities that could disrupt their lives and routines. So, that's one of the things that we are pushing, as one of the six areas that the volunteer initiative is focusing on.
So you'll be discussing the national day of service that was planned for the end of the United We Serve campaign. Is there anything else you're asking people in the city to do?
Skyler: Well, September is National Preparedness Month, and I met with Sec. [Janet] Napolitano last week. We're urging people to be ready. It doesn't need to be a terrorist attack. It could be a natural disaster. It could be severe weather, it could be a water main break, it could be a building collapse, it could be all types of eventualities that could befall a city of this size. People need to have an emergency plan, make sure their families have an emergency plan, to be prepared.

Could Your Water Bill Triple in the Next Few Years?
Posted By Miranda Marquit On 03/26/2012 @ 12:09 pm In Personal Finance | 11 Comments
Most of us take cleaning drinking water for granted. You turn on the tap, and out comes the water. It's generally safe to drink, and usually clean. Most of us just assume that the water will be there; few of us think about the delivery system in place.
However, the delivery system for our water is becoming an issue. As our population grows, our water system needs to expand. On top of that, there are areas where water systems are old and in need of repair. As the needs of our drinking water system change, there will be costs involved. Indeed, CNN Money [3] reports that expanding and repairing the water system will likely cost upward of $1 trillion between now and 2035.
For many Americans, these upgrades and expansions are likely to hit them in the pocketbook. According to the CNN Money article, some consumers could see their water bills double, and even perhaps triple, over the next few years. What you pay will largely depend on your location, and what needs to be done with your local water system — and how badly off it is. (It's also worth noting that water infrastructure may not be the only cost in coming years; our power infrastructure and roads also need upgrading in many areas.)
While conserving water is always a good idea for reducing household costs as well as living more sustainably, it might become even more important in the coming years as water prices increase to help pay the costs associated with improving the delivery system. Here are some ideas to help you conserve water and save money:
A lot of small conservation steps can add up over time to hundreds in savings, and this will be especially true if your water bill goes up in the near future.

Why Are Americans So Passive?
Alternet.org: From the first breaths of life to the last, our lives are being stolen out from under us. From infant care and early education to Social Security and Medicare, the dominant economic ideology is demanding more lifelong sacrifices from the vulnerable to appease the gods of wealth. Middle-class wages are stagnant. Unemployment is stalled at record levels. College education is leading to debt servitude and job insecurity. Millions of unemployed Americans have essentially been abandoned by their government. Poverty is soaring. Bankers break the law with impunity, are bailed out, and go on breaking the law, richer than they were before. And yet, bizarrely, the only Americans who seem to be seething with anger are the beneficiaries of this economic injustice – the wealthiest and most privileged among us. But those who are suffering seem strangely passive. As long as they stay that way, there will be no movement to repair these injustices. And the more these injustices are allowed to persist, the harder it will be to end them. Where the hell is the outrage? And how can we start some? ... read more>>>...

Welcome to the Needle-Felted Teddy Bear Studio. You may be asked, "What is a needle-felted teddy bear?" The process begins with wool, a barb needle, and lots of creativity. No patterns, no sewing machines, not even a needle and thread! I begin with a very basic shape and add a few fibers here, a few fibers there, securing them using a felting needle. After several days and thousands of pokes and prods, I have a wonderful, one-of-a-kind teddy bear (or dog or rabbit or whatever). It is really "soft-sculpting" in it's truest form!
To learn more about a specific piece, just click on the thumbnail. Each of the teddy bear friends featured here is available for immediate adoption unless noted.
Enjoy, look around, and find a friend for life!

CSULB is committed to offering our students the best possible first-year experience; therefore, we have established procedures which will ensure that all students receive accurate and timely academic advising. Advising is an opportunity for students to connect to their college or department advisor, faculty and staff to discuss future educational plans. Through this connection, students will be able to discuss future educational goals, review program options, and receive advice on course selection.
This connection is one of the most important steps to your future success at the Beach! We feel so strongly about ensuring that you have advising as you prepare for your sophomore year, that we require all freshmen to participate in the program prior to registering.
In addition, CSULB advisors can assist in a variety of different ways by working with students to broaden interests; develop academic and career goals; identify major areas of academic interest; create realistic plans of study; increase decision-making skills; take responsibility for academic direction.
All entering freshmen have "advising holds" placed on their records for their first year and will not be able to change their schedules without consultation with an advisor. Mid-way through the semester, freshmen will receive information about the Mandatory Advising Program, a comprehensive advising session to prepare for the next semester course selections. The advising hold will be removed after the student attends the advising session.
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. Classroom attendance is often one of the most necessary and important means of learning and, in many classes, is essential to the educational objectives of the course.
Faculty members must include their guidelines for assigning grades in the syllabus (as required by Policy Statement 04-05, Course Syllabi). The syllabus must make clear whether any portion of the grade is based on attendance and/or participation. It is the students' responsibility to make themselves aware of each faculty member's guidelines by carefully reading the syllabus.
Faculty members may drop students who fail to attend class during the first week of the semester. However, students should not presume that they will be dropped by the faculty member. Students who have registered for a class, but never attended, should verify whether or not they are officially enrolled. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw officially from the class.
Students may have a valid reason to miss a class. When any of the following reasons directly conflict with class meeting times, students are responsible for informing faculty members of the reason for the absence and for arranging to make up missed assignments, tests, quizzes, and class work insofar as this is possible. Excused absences include, but are not limited to:
1. Illness or injury to the student
2. Death, injury, or serious illness of an immediate family member or the like
3. Religious reasons (California Education Code section 89320)
4. Jury duty or government obligation
5. University sanctioned or approved activities (examples include: artistic performances, forensics presentations, participation in research conferences, intercollegiate athletic activities, student government, required class field trips, etc.)
Faculty members are not obligated to consider other absences as excused. Faculty members may require students to provide documentation for excused absences.
There are numerous classes offered on campus where attendance is crucial since student participation is essential. Absence from these courses may impact the work and participation of other students. Students who anticipate extended or multiple absences during a particular semester should consult with their advisor and the faculty member before enrolling in any class to determine whether it will be possible to complete the requirements for the course. Students who realize after enrollment that they will have extended or multiple absences should consult with the faculty member to see whether it will be possible to complete the course requirements.
The earliest possible notification is preferred. In some circumstances, it may be possible for the student to notify the faculty member of anticipated absences (e.g. for religious reasons or for scheduled athletic events) during the first week of enrollment. Advance notification (minimally one week in advance) is required for the following absences:
1. Jury duty and other government obligation
2. Religious reasons
3. University sanctioned or approved activities
The California Education Code (section 89320) requires "each state university, in administering any test or examination, to permit any student who is eligible to undergo the test or examination to do so, without penalty, at a time when that activity would not violate the student's religious creed. This requirement shall not apply in the event that administering the test or examination at an alternate time would impose an undue hardship which could not reasonably have been avoided. In any court proceeding in which the existence of an undue hardship which could not reasonably have been avoided is an issue, the burden of proof shall be upon the institution."
It is the responsibility of the student to make advance notification, contact the faculty member to make arrangements to make up any academic work that may be missed, submit assignments on time, and to make arrangements regarding activities, tests, quizzes, or exams that may be scheduled during the absences.
If a student does not notify the faculty member one week in advance of the date of absences for these reasons (jury duty, governmental service, religious observances, or University sanctioned activities), the instructor is not required to adjust the class schedule or to allow for make up activities, tests, or exams. Students shall not, however, be penalized for excused absences when circumstances make it impossible to provide advance notice (e.g. student is engaged in a University sanctioned event such as a performance, tournament, or playoff which cannot be anticipated).
A student who expects to be absent from the University for any valid reason, and who has found it difficult to inform the instructor, should notify the academic department office. The department office shall notify the student's instructors of the nature and duration of the absence. It remains the responsibility of the student to arrange with instructors to make up any academic work missed.
In circumstances where an actual assignment, some specific class work, an activity, a quiz, or an exam cannot reasonably be made up, it is the instructor's option to assign alternative work. (PS 01-01)
Only students registered for the class either as regular students or as auditors, the instructor, and invited guests of the instructor may attend classes at CSULB. Persons wishing to become guests of the instructor should seek the instructor's permission prior to the scheduled beginning of the class session.
The purpose of office hours is to provide opportunities for student-faculty interaction outside the classroom. Each instructional faculty member will hold one office hour per week for every class taught, up to a maximum of four hours. Faculty may account for up to one hour of this expectation through alternative forms of access such as availability by appointment or through e-mail. The faculty member's office hours, phone number, and email contact will be posted by the door and announced in the syllabus. (PS 02-10)

We get many many questions on how to make sure trailer hubs and brakes are safe for travel. Here Joe addresses some of those questions demonstrating how to thoroughly inspect the hubs, breaks and bearings. I know many of us take the performance of these assemblies for granted but if you are planning a long trip or just make short trips around town you should be aware of their condition. I like to say it is time well spent when it avoids break downs on the side of the highway.
Today we are going to show you a typical hub inspection, check out the brakes and check out the bearings and see if it needs to be replaced and what not. This is just routine maintenance. First up take off the grease cap here then we will get to the castle nut on the inside. Then we can take off the hub and start inspecting things. Take the dust cap off, sometimes you can sneak a screwdriver or a punch tool in there and pry it off. If it is real tight like it is here you just have to tap on the side a few times to help break it loose. Depending on the condition you have it when you get it off it might be better to bang it off and just buy a new set. You want to clean up as much of the grease that is on the outside. Some hubs will have a cotter pin that goes through the center you bend it back and pull it through and pull the washer off. Or some spindles have what is called a tang washer, it slides in behind the nut and there is a little tab that comes up and flips up. Then there is a third type like you see here where the nut has a cage going around it and that just simply pries off. The way that little cage works is it fits on the flat part of the spindle so it can not turn. Thus the nut can not come off either. Then you simply unscrew the nut. At this point you can just slide off the whole hub assembly.
Take a look at the brakes here. What you want to do is check the thickness of the brakes shoes. Once they get down to 1/8 of an inch or 1/16 of an inch chances are you want to go ahead and change them out. These here look like they are pretty decent just a little rust, they can be cleaned off and thats about it. On the magnet, it actually rides against the inside of the hub. The magnet rides in this polished part here, it just rides it. That is what it is supposed to do. When it gets energized the magnet sticks to the hub that is how it works. But the magnet is designed to wear down over time just like the brake shoes. The magnet here itself has to wear down, if you look closely you will see some fine lines. Looks like wires or real fine hair. When you start seeing that is when it is time to replace the magnet. But in this case we do not have that it looks like everything is wearing down like it is suppose to. So on this hub we just need to clean it up and repack the bearings.
What we will do is go ahead and clean up the brake pads and the magnet with the spray brake part cleaner you can get at your local auto parts store. Just dose it really good and just wipe it clean. Thats all it takes. You can use it on the greasy parts to clean it off. Also one other thing you might want to check out is the shoes, they can float around pretty freely in here. Because they have to expand a little bit like so with the magnet. Then if you can bang it with your hands reasonably easy then you are okay. If it is real hard to do chances are it is rusted together. Then you may just want to take it apart a little bit. Clean it up or dab just a little bit of grease in the moving parts. Since we got the spindle clean we are going to show you a few things you can watch for. If you see here there is a line going over here. That is where the bearing has been sitting. As long as it does not cut the spindle itself. If you can take your fingernail and catch it on the scratch then the bearing has been put on too much load or shock. Then the spindle has been damaged and you are looking at a replacement spindle at that point. The same thing applies back here also. You should rub your finger around it and see if you catch anything. If your finger does not catch anything then you will be fine. Then back here on the shoulder you see that little black line. That is where the seal itself rides on the spindle. That keeps the grease from going out back. You can tell that the rubber over time will rub a nice finish on the seal. Occasionally you will have to replace those also. Now about this spindle in here if you see the Zerk ending here. That is what you would call an EZ Lube Spindle. What happens is when you put your grease gun at the end here it shoots grease all the way down the middle here and then it comes out to this hole in the side. The grease comes out this hole which is in between where the bearing rides and the seal rides. So between that whole cavity there it fills up with grease. Once it gets filled up with grease it packs itself through the bearing on the way back out eventually through this bearing and then out the end. So when you reassemble this we will put grease all around here then we will assemble it and pack our grease in here. It will actually self pack itself.
Now what we need to do is remove this old seal here and there is a couple different ways of doing it. One way is flipping the hub upside down. Taking a wooden doll and going through the inside and beating the bearings from the inside out. Then pushing the seal out with it. Sometimes you get away with it but you run the risk of damaging the bearings doing it that way. What we will do is work it around and try and get an opening and pry this up. There are special tools but most do it yourselfers will just use a punch or screwdriver, like we will do it here with simple tools. Now we have the bearing out. I am going to show you a couple things on inspecting bearings. One thing you will notice is that the bearing to the right is nice and clean thats been used. This one on the left is from the outside and they both came off the same hub. You can see the outside bearing has gotten a little hot or has gotten to much pressure at one time. You can tell the discoloration. When you see something like that chances are it has been through a lot of stress. You should replace both sets of bearings

Trailer Hub and Drum Inspection FAQ
When it comes to owning a trailer, maintenance is important. Today we're going to be taking a loot at our hub and drum assembly and we're going to show you how to inspect that. Now we already have our lug nuts and our tire and wheel removed. This is our hub and drum assembly. In order to inspect the internal components, we need to go ahead and remove it. When need to go ahead and pry the dust cap off. We'll clean it out a little bit, get all that dirt and grime out of the way.
Standard Axle Brake Assembly Hub and Drum Installation FAQ
Today we're going to do a how to video on installing a brake assembly and a hub and drum onto a standard axle and everything that'll come with the kit will be . We'll start with the brake assembly. This happens to be the right hand side brake assembly. The reason you'll be able to notice that is the arm and the smaller shoe will face the front of the vehicle and you'll see the magnet would be at the bottom on a brake assembly. It'll also come with this hub and drum. If you'll notice the races for the inner and the outer bearing are pre-installed into the hub and drum. It'll also come with the bearings, the outer bearing, the larger inner bearing, come with the grease seal, comes with the dust cap, it'll also come with five of your half inch lug nuts to put your wheels and tires on, and it'll also come with four nuts and four washers to install the brake assembly onto the axle.
Cleaning and Replacing Hubs and Bearings
First off we will go ahead and take off the dust cap. In this case it is a bearing buddy. Next is taking out the locking pin, the cotter pin that goes through the center here. Once you have that lock washer off, just go ahead and take off the nut and pull your whole hub off. Now we are going to go ahead and inspect the hub and bearings here.
Remove and Reinstall a Trailer Hub Review
First off, we will take off the hub, then take off the nut on the inside, and we will pop the whole hub off and take it to the workbench and clean it up from there. You can see there is a lot of rust in there, there is a lot of condensation. Basically water got in there through either condensation or a seal leak. We definitely need to take it apart and clean it up. This has whats called a tang washer. Instead of a regular cotter pin that goes up and down, it has a little piece of metal that goes between the notches here and you have to push this back, flat, so you can take off the nut. And the whole thing just slides off. Sometimes if it gets caught on the hub here you can beat it to get it to come loose. We will go ahead and clean this spindle off here, and then we will put our hub back on. Give it a test fit first to make sure it all slides on pretty good and then go ahead and take it back off. What is good is to take a thin layer, it doesnt have to be much just a little bit, to kind of help the parts slide on a little bit more than they used to.

Rateb Amro, retired military colonel says PA's bid at UN unreasonable but relations between Israel, Jordan are still good. However, Amaro warns: Not one Arab country will allow Israel, US to attack Iran
Roi Kais
Published: 09.14.12, 14:47 / Israel News
Roi Kais
"When I was in the army, I fought against Israelis
but those who suffered from war the most, were those who were convinced we must work towards peace. I do my job and I don't care what others say," Rateb Amro, a retired colonel in the Jordanian
army told Ynet at the annual conference on counter terrorism held in Herzliya.
Despite it not being a popular time for Arab officials to meet with Israelis and discuss matters of terror and regional tensions, Amro decided to do his job.
Related stories:
During the past few years, Amaro has headed the Horizon Center for Studies and Research in Amman, and in his lecture at the Herzliya conference, Amaro spoke about the consequences of the Arab Spring
on the Palestinians.
Amro believes that the PA's bid for
UN recognition is not the right path to take. "They can turn to the UN, but I believe that they must solve their issues and come to a permanent agreement with the Israelis and only then should they ask the UN to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a non-member observer state."
"The Palestinians are doing the exact opposite. Will they declare a Palestinian state with just 22% of the territory of historical Palestine? What about the border with Jordan? What about the border with Israel? What about Jerusalem?"
Amro asked.
King Abdullah and Hamas leader last year (Photo: Reuters)
The Palestinian matter also affects Israel's relationship with Jordan. According to Amro, this is the reason why Netanyahu
and King Abdullah have yet to meet on the matter. "We believe that Netanyahu is hesitant to solve the Palestinian issue and sit down with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
to go over the problems," he said.
Asked about Israel's possible strike on Iran's
nuclear facilities, Amro said: "As a military man, I believe it would be a grave mistake if Netanyahu decides to attack Iran. I fear that if Israel or the US decides to strike Iran, the whole region will pay the price."
"No one in the Arab world is satisfied with Iran's nuclear program.
Speaking truthfully, not one of the Arab countries will allow Israel or the US to attack Iran. You can call Iran an enemy as much as you want, but the bottom line is that Iran is an Islamic country and no one will allow you (Israel and the US) to attack it," Amro said.
"Sometimes I believe Netanyahu uses Iran as propaganda in an effort to solve the issues within Israel. No one knows what will happen if Israel decides to strike Iran. That is why I hope Israel changes its mind," he added.
Regarding the subject of developing a similar nuclear program to Iran's in Jordan, in an effort to balance the power in the region, Amro said that "Jordan isn't even thinking of nuclear weapons. We live in peace. Why do we need nuclear weapons? We have one of the strongest armies in the region. Who would we use the weapon against?"
He explains his argument by saying that chemical weapons depend on wind directions. Therefore, it would be difficult to control the weapon. "In addition," he says "if Hezbollah or Syria start using chemical weapons, the whole region will burn. No one will agree to it or keep silent."

Classes Without Quizzes features everyday science
March 1, 2012
Climate change, winemaking, healthy eating and invasive species are among the featured topics at this year's "Classes Without Quizzes" on Saturday, March 31 at the University of Minnesota's St. Paul campus.
Nationally recognized experts from the university's College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences will present mini-seminars designed for the general public, including students of all ages. The event will be from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with an optional lunch afterward.
Well-known climatologist, author and media personality Mark Seeley will present the keynote speech at 9 a.m. Climate scientists agree that three regional climate attributes are changing in Minnesota: higher temperatures, especially in winter and in overnight lows; more frequent high-dewpoint periods of sultry weather; and variable, increasing precipitation. These climate trends are clearly linked to measurable consequences: new plant hardiness zones, changes in agricultural drainage, and watershed management, transportation issues, public health concerns, and energy usage. Seeley will explain what's changing now, what might change in the future and how Minnesotans' lives will be affected.
The nine mini-seminars are:
Vines and Wines: An Introduction to U of M Grapes and the MN Wine Industry
Horticultural science professor Jim Luby will discuss the history of grape growing and winemaking in the state, current varieties' characteristics and how they are grown, and what makes a good vineyard site in Minnesota.
Is Higher Education Worth the Cost? An Economic Perspective
Applied Economics assistant professor Elton Mykerezi will explain how parents and students can analyze their own situations and will discuss why generalizations about the benefits of post-secondary education don't work.
Should You Buy an Alternative Car for Economic and Environmental Reasons?
Applied Economics Extension educator Doug Tiffany will demonstrate an online decision tool he's developed to help consumers compare economic costs and carbon footprints of most vehicles in today's market.
Invaders From Other Ecosystems: How the Carp Got Here and What You Can Do About Them
Fisheries professor Peter Sorensen thinks the answer lies in a complex combination of factors that must be fully understood to solve the problem; he'll explain how learning more about the carp might help reduce the damage they cause.
The New USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map: What it Means for Gardeners
Horticultural science professor Mary Meyer will explain how to use the new interactive map, where it is warmer in Minnesota, which new plants Minnesota gardeners may want to try, micro-climates around homes and how to take advantage of warmer or colder locations.
Got Carrots? Discovering the Effects of Plant Foods on Cancer Risk
Sabrina Peterson Trudo, assistant professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition, shares her research on the effects of plant foods on cancer risk.
Eco-Palms, Preachers and Tropical Forest Conservation. What's the Connection?
For more than a decade, the Center for Integrated Natural Resources and Agricultural Management (CINRAM) at the University of Minnesota has partnered with conservation and faith-based organizations as well as the private sector to help conserve tropical forests through the Eco-Palms program, which distributes sustainably harvested palm leaves to church-goers throughout the United States every Palm Sunday. Dean Current, research associate in the Department of Forest Resources, directs CINRAM.
Feeding a Hungry World
Learn how scientists are working to make farming in the world's most challenging agricultural areas more productive and profitable. Department of Applied Economics professor Phil Pardey is co-director of the Gates Foundation's HarvestChoice initiative, a global information and decision-making resource that is deeply involved in this research.
No Longer a Ticket to a Job: Leveraging the College Experience for Career Success
Career and Internship Services Director Sara Nagel Newberg and CFANS Admissions Director Stacie Vennewitz will discuss strategies to help students compete effectively in the modern job market. Using anecdotes as well as survey data, they'll explore the behaviors that lead to success for college graduates. They'll also discuss factors to consider when selecting a college or major program.
This year's kids' sessions, presented by staff from the Bell Museum of Natural History and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, are aimed at two groups: kindergartners through second graders, and third- through sixth-graders. Each group will study plants and pollinators, and tour the Bell Museum's Exploradome.
Registration for Classes Without Quizzes costs $30 with discounts for University of Minnesota Alumni Association members and students. An optional lunch following the seminars is $10.

Acupuncture is the insertion of thin stainless steel needles into precise places on the body to communicate with our innate self-healing mechanism. Most people who receive acupuncture usually describe it as a very relaxing experience.
We use our understanding of the body as one connected energetic system to decide which part of your system needs balancing. Acupuncture is very safe, very effective, and a very helpful tool for all who value well-being. 2,500 years of continued use and consistent results suggest it might work for you, too.
Benefits of acupuncture include but are not limited to: loss of pain, increase in self-awareness, more energy, youthful appearance, digestive ease, decreased stress, healthy longevity, greater existential understanding, mental clarity, fertility and the fulfillment of one's dreams. This is true – there really is no limit to what the help of acupuncture can bring to a person's life.
Conditions which we use acupuncture to treat include: infertility, acute and chronic pain, depression, digestive complaints, cardiac, respiratory, and immune support, general stress, depression, fatigue, headaches, endocrine disorders, insomnia, spiritual-emotional difficulties, menstrual irregularities, and men's and women's reproductive issues. Chances are, if you have an issue you want help with, we can improve your situation greatly.
How Acupuncture Works
The ancient Chinese (taoist sages) recognized 12 primary channels flowing in the human body, bringing qi and blood to and fro as needed. These channels are like stems branching out from the body's zang-fu (yin and yang organs.) Each channel's qi and blood reflects the natural characteristics and current state of each organ.
When the channels become blocked due to physical or emotional, inner or outer causes, disharmony is the effect. We feel this as physical, mental, or emotional pain.
To know which channels to help unblock, the acupuncturist uses a variety of diagnostic methods, such as palpating the wrist pulse and the actual channels themselves, by looking at the tongue and the person's overall appearance, by inquiry, and by listening and smelling. Taking all or most of these into consideration, the acupuncturist knows which channels to help unblock.
Many aspects of acupuncture lack understanding in the world of modern western science. Nonetheless, it goes on thousands of years unbroken – proven an effective medical answer by the greatest measure of all – time!
This said, we must remember acupuncture is only a tool to help a person's body-mind move more into harmony with its own nature. It is not the acupuncture itself that heals or not, but the combination of the practitioner, patient, needles, time of day, season, and a thousand other things at play – these are the causes which lead to some desired therapeutic affect.
One day acupuncture might help someone. The next day it might not. It might work with one practitioner and not with another. Nobody knows much for sure.
We do know this however: acupuncture can be of great help to all people. It often leads to pain going away and increased well-being in our patients' lives. If we see life as a path that we have chosen, the direction that brings us back to our true nature is the healing journey. We will see you when this path leads you here!

Product Description
Kryptek Gear's MERINO WOOL BASE LAYER TOP
Merino wool is the best fiber known to man under either warm or cool conditions. There isn't a better material to use for base layers than merino wool. This is true especially for hunters because it is antimicrobial and does not smell.
- Merino wool is naturally antimicrobial, so it does not smell.
- A natural insulator, it keeps you warm when its cold and cool when its hot.
- Kryptek base layers wick moisture from your body.
- Naturally wrinkle free.
- Merino wool does not melt.
- Kryptek Base Layers won't ignite until 1,040° F, and the flame goes out when the heat source is removed.
- It will protect you from the sun with a naturally occurring UV protection of UPF 50.
- Merino wool dries much faster than cotton, so it can be potentially life saving in extreme cold or very windy conditions.
Why should you wear the Kryptek base layer system?
The main reason for wearing a base layer next to your skin is to stay dry and comfortable. Moisture-wicking underwear is a huge benefit when you are hunting because it keeps you dry and therefore warm when it is cold outside. When the weather is hot during the early season, Kryptek base layers wick the sweat away from your body keeping you dry and comfortable. Another reason to choose Kryptek's merino wool base layer is because it is a natural antimicrobial, meaning it does not stink when you sweat. As far as moisture-wicking goes, it performs basically the same as synthetic material, but the scent control is a big deal to hunters.
Get rid of the traditional cotton long underwear and get yourself some Kryptek Merino Wool Base Layers. You won't be sorry.

Nov. 22, 2007
Kamakura, Japan - Happy Thanksgiving from Japan! With thoughts of family and friends back home in the states preparing for Thanksgiving in familiar ways, we celebrated this holiday in a new fashion. After a delicious and early (no time to waste we're only in Japan for so long!) breakfast, we set out for the historical city of Kamakura. Once the capital of Japan, this beautiful town is also the site of a phenomenal 11.31 meter Buddha.
Originally protected from the elements by an enclosure, it has survived snow, rain, sun, wind, and even earthquakes ever since the enclosure was swept away by a tsunami centuries ago. The Buddha dates back to 1252, and even though it is a major tourist destination, it had an old world charm and a permeating sense of peace to the place.
We took a train to another part of Kamakura to visit one of the country's largest temples. Kenji, our guide, told us that seeing all of the temples and the sites in the surrounding area would take days, so we set our sights on one--the Engakuji Temple. Founded in 1282 to commemorate the deaths of soldiers killed during the Mongols' attempted invasion of Japan, it was surrounded by cedar trees, prayer flags, wooden bridges, and koi (carp fish) filled streams.
Arriving at the perfect time, we were able to watch a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony that happened to be taking place at the base of the temple. At the top of the many steps leading to the temple doors, a few of the freshman went to a stand to receive their fortunes. One of the freshman, Ashley, was devastated with her less-than-optimistic prognosis. When she tried to tie it to the string holding all other bad fortunes, it ripped, at which point Kenji gasped, "this is worse!" After Ashley finally succeeded in attaching the fortune, we all walked back into the town to do some shopping and forget the terrible fortune ordeal (the vending machine ice cream always helps too!).
We returned to the hotel for our pregame meal (which included turkey!), and left for the game stadium. Traveling by subway with a group of 36 is always an adventure, but our sprints and weight room training have proved to come in handy when racing for crowded trains and pushing our way on. After a short warm-up, the anthems were played and the game was underway. Waseda gave a great effort, showing off their midfield speed on a number of fast breaks, but in the end we came out as the victors. It was great to catch up with several of their players who had come to the Stanford Lacrosse Camp, as well as Thea Lorentzen, a Stanford lacrosse alumni currently working and living in Tokyo.
After the game we all went to a nearby restaurant to celebrate Thanksgiving with somewhat less-traditional food. After beef bowls, curry, sundaes, and laughs all around, we quickly realized that midnight, when the subways stop running, was quickly approaching. Luckily though, we all made it back safe, and fell asleep almost immediately after a truly memorable Thanksgiving in Japan.

Roger Clemens pleads not guilty to charge of lying
WASHINGTON Seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens pleaded not guilty Monday to charges of lying to Congress about whether he used steroids or human growth hormone.
When asked for a plea by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, the retired Major League Baseball pitcher said in a clear voice: "Not guilty, your honor."
Clemens and another of baseball's premier stars sullied by steroid accusations, all-time home run leader Barry Bonds, could both begin their day in court next spring, turning the spotlight back on major league baseball's long-running drug scandal just as it opens the 2011 season.
Wearing a dark jacket, brown pants and tie, Clemens appeared in federal court only a few blocks from where he swore under oath to a House committee in 2008 that he had not used performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens, who pitched for the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees and Houston Astros, got into a van and left shortly after his plea without speaking to the throngs of reporters and television cameras waiting outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse.
Federal prosecutors didn't believe Clemens' testimony to Congress, and they subsequently charged him with making false statements, perjury and obstruction of Congress.
The 48-year-old baseball star had vowed all along to fight the charges.
After hearing Clemens' plea, Walton set an April 5 date for choosing a jury. That would be four days after Opening Day of the 2011 major league baseball season and two weeks after the scheduled start of Bonds' trial on charges of lying to a federal grand jury when he said he never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
Clemens was arraigned on three counts of making false statements, two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of Congress.
If convicted, Clemens could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1.5 million fine, though under U.S. sentencing guidelines, he would probably face no more than 15 to 21 months in prison.
Any conviction, however, could catastrophically damage his reputation, future earning potential and his chances of getting into baseball's Hall of Fame.
He entered the courthouse well before his hearing, which was scheduled for a ceremonial courtroom that seats about 300 people.
After spending the morning in the back rooms of the courthouse, where defendants often go to get their fingerprints and mug shots taken, Clemens and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, went to the main cafeteria, where the pitcher sat at a corner table and had a salad and a bottle of water for lunch.
Clemens was friendly, but declined comment when approached by an Associated Press reporter. Hardin said plans hadn't changed for the hearing, but he wanted to honor the gag order imposed by U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, who last week ordered interested participants to refrain from making public comments that could have a material effect on the case.
Clemens' early arrival may have been because he wanted to make a quick exit after his hearing is over. The New York Daily News reports that Clemens and his wife, Debbie, planned to fly to Myrtle Beach, S.C., later Monday to play in the Golf.com World Amateur Handicap Championship.
Clemens had come to Congress after being mentioned repeatedly in the Mitchell Report - the damning breakdown of the sport's steroid problem released in 2007.
In front of a House committee the next year, Clemens said: "Let me be clear. I have never taken steroids or HGH."
Former Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, the top Republican on the House panel at the time, called Clemens' testimony "a self-inflicted wound. Clemens was not under subpoena. He came voluntarily."

Thanks for the prompt replies. I don't see my original post in my inbox. Sent a 2nd post and that didn't appear either. Am I sending to the correct address(email@example.com)? I just noticed I didn't include a subject. Could that be the cause? Any other ideas why? Sorry for the confusion but I am new to this site. Thanks, Jim

Sample stimuli used in the experiment. While many items are the same (generic items), a detail is changed in the critical items. Here, in the original version, the robber places the wallet he just stole in his jacket pocket. In the misinformation version seen later, he places the wallet in his pants pocket. When participants remembered both seeing him place the wallet in his pants pocket and this having happened in the original version of the vignette, a false memory had occurred.Credit: Craig Stark and Yoko Okado, Johns Hopkins University Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- John Parker Wilson threw for 253 yards and a touchdown in his first career start and the Alabama defense withheld a late Hawaii comeback for a 25-17 win to open its 112th football season Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Alabama win was the first in the newly-expanded Bryant-Denny Stadium. With the additional seating added in the north end zone, the sellout crowd of 92,138 was the largest to ever witness a football game in the state of Alabama.
With no time left on the clock and Hawaii in Alabama territory, Tide sophomore Lionel Mitchell stepped in front of a Colt Brennan pass in the end zone to end the Warrior threat and seal the win for the Tide.
"I thought it was a great win," Alabama Coach Mike Shula said. "Any win is a great win, and we worked as hard as we can. Did we play perfect football? No, and that's better newsÂ--we won the game and know we'll get better."
Brennan threw for 259 of his 350 passing yards in the second half, taking the Warriors down the field on consecutive drives late before throwing his first interception as time expired. He ended the night 30-of-44 with a pair of touchdowns.
"Our little mistakes were ongoing in the game," Hawaii coach June Jones said. "We can't make those mistakes on the road and expect to win the game."
With just over seven minutes left, Hawaii's Ryan Grice-Mullen reeled in a 31-yard touchdown pass from Brennan to cap off a 7-play, 85-yard drive. Dan Kelly's extra point pulled the Warriors to within eight of the Tide, at 25-17.
Alabama opened the fourth quarter with a 27-yard Leigh Tiffin field goal after a 12-play, 68-yard drive to run the score to 25-10. A Keith Brown catch that was originally ruled a touchdown was wiped off on an instant replay challenge from Jones.
The incomplete pass was Brown's second potential touchdown catch of the night that was ruled out-of-bounds.
"We were inches away from another field goal, we were inches away from a touchdown instead of a safety, we were inches away from another touchdown with Keith Brown. So if those three plays happen, the score's a little bit different," Shula said. "I think that has a little bit of a silver lining and we'll have a little more urgency knowing that we played as well as we could have and it could have been misleading."
The Warriors capitalized on good field position with a three-play, 50-yard drive with 6:11 left in the third quarter after fielding the P.J. Fitzgerald punt at the 50-yard line. A 16-yard touchdown pass from Brennan to Reagan Mauia pulled Hawaii to within 12 of Alabama at 22-10 with 4:59 left in the third.
The Tide started the second half with an eight-play, 80-yard scoring drive capped off by a 35-yard touchdown catch by Brown to extend the lead to 22-3. The catch put Brown over the 1,000-yard receiving mark for his career.
Brown ended the night with six catches for 132 yards and a touchdown.
"It was fun," Brown said. "My team depends on me to make plays like the other receivers. When my number was called I had to step up and make plays. I couldn't be the guy to drop a pass and not make big plays."
Wilson ended the night 16-of-29 for 253 yards and a touchdown.
"John Parker did a good job adjusting," Shula said. "They played a lot of base defense and it was different from what they showed on the tape."
With 8:54 left in the half, a 55-yard Fitzgerald punt pinned the Warriors inside their one-yard line. Three minutes later, Hawaii punter Kurt Milne fumbled a low snap out of the back of the Hawaii end zone.
The officials originally ruled that Alabama's Roy Upchurch recovered the ball in the end zone, but after further review the touchdown was wiped off when the officials ruled that Upchurch recovered the ball out of bounds and awarded Alabama a safety to make the score 12-3.
The Tide then mounted an eight-play, 49-yard drive, capped off by a 23-yard Tiffin field goal with 1:19 left to make the score 15-3. Brown highlighted the drive by reeling in a 36-yard pass from Wilson and absorbing a hit at the Hawaii eight yard line.
"[Brown] probably made more plays tonight on his own where the ball was up in the air just going and getting it than he's had since we've been here," Shula said. "He had a great look in his eye. Even after he got clobbered on that one that hung up in the air, he really kind of shook it off and went back in.
"If that's a sign of things to come then he's in for a great year of helping our football team," he said.
Alabama opened the second quarter with a 3-yard Tim Castille touchdown run with 14:30 left in the half to cap off a 10-play, 61-yard drive to take the 10-3 lead. Jimmy Johns had five rushes for 38 yards on the drive. He ended the night with eight rushes for 58 yards.
"All I can ever remember Alabama's been a running team," Johns said. "We've been running the ball as long as I can remember, so it's fine with me.
Hawaii and Alabama traded field goals in the first quarter, with the Warriors driving 26 yards in seven plays. Kelly booted a 42-yard field goal with 11:31 left on the clock to take the 3-0 lead.
Alabama answered with a nine-play, 65-yard drive of its own, capping it off with a 31-yard Tiffin kick to tie the score at 3-3.
Tiffin was one of 18 first-time players to play in the game for Alabama, which also used eight first-time starters.
"It was exciting," left tackle Andre Smith said. "It was definitely a learning experience as far as how the speed was. Overall I had a great time."

State of the Union speeches provide a chance for the president to look forward. Given the great recession of the last two years, President Obama had more-than-average reasons to focus his speech squarely on the future, particularly in the area of jobs creation.
With unemployment still stubbornly above 9 percent, the big question for most Americans is, "Where are the jobs? Does President Obama or the GOP have the best plan for getting America back to work?"
