Jerusalem (Jun. 15)
Consider not those dead who died in the holy cause, says the proclamation issued to-day by the Palestine Arab Executive, signed by its President, Moussa. Kazim Pasha, calling upon the Arabs of Palestine to stop all work on Wednesday, which is the first anniversary of the execution of the three Arabs, Atta Zeer, Mohammed Jam Joun, and Fuad Hedjazi, who were convicted of murdering Jews during the massacres in Palestine in August 1929.

Skin-on sheep meat (smokies) - update
Wednesday 14 February 2007
In November 2003, the Food Standards Agency commissioned Bristol University Veterinary School to research into whether it is possible to produce 'skin-on' sheep carcasses safely and hygienically in slaughterhouses.
A final report of this work was given to the Agency in December 2006 and a scientific paper of the main findings has been submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The report concludes that, under controlled conditions, 'skin-on' sheep meat can be produced hygienically and provides evidence to support the development of a meat inspection protocol.
In conjunction with this, a related piece of work is being carried out to look at the issue of veterinary medicines in relation to 'skin-on' sheep meat. Medicines may be needed for sheep to control, for example, particular parasites and flies, which if untreated can be a welfare issue. Withdrawal periods ensure that any residues in meat from animals, which have been treated with the medicines, are below a 'safe' limit. Withdrawal periods for sheep meat may have been calculated without including skin as it is currently removed on all sheep meat in the UK. This study is looking at how the withdrawal periods were calculated and is nearing completion.
The findings from these two areas of work are still to be evaluated by the Food Standards Agency, and it is therefore too soon to speculate if the Agency will be in a position to approach the European Commission to have the law changed, in order to permit the production of skin-on sheep carcases in approved slaughterhouses in the UK.
There is no prospect of the law being changed in the short term. Consequently, the production of smokies in the UK remains unlawful and the Food Standards Agency will continue to work with local authorities to ensure that the law is enforced.
Background details
Smokies are produced by burning the fleece off sheep carcases (often with a blowtorch) which imparts a strong smoked flavour to the meat. The production of smokies for sale for human consumption is illegal because the skin is still attached to the meat and the animals are slaughtered in unlicensed premises without official supervision. This is contrary to EU law and the UK's meat hygiene regulations.
Smokies may pose a significant risk to public health for a number of reasons:
- the animals are slaughtered in unlicensed premises (often disused farm buildings) without TSE controls being applied under the supervision of the Meat Hygiene Service. TSE controls include the removal of specified risk material which are the parts of the animal most likely to carry TSE infectivity
- the unsanitary and unhygienic conditions in which animals are normally slaughtered may cause contamination by faecal material resulting in the presence of harmful bacteria such as E.coli and Salmonella
- there are concerns about potential residues from veterinary medicines applied to the skin or fleece
There are also concerns about animal welfare because of the conditions under which the animals may be slaughtered.
One way of combating the current illegal trade in smokies would be to make their production legal in licensed slaughterhouses, and thus enable consumers and the farming community to benefit from the apparent demand for the product.

Durham mother charged with killing 2-week-old girl
Posted October 15, 2015
Updated October 16, 2015
Durham, N.C. — A Durham woman was charged Thursday with killing her 2-week-old daughter in June, police said.
Twila Mae Beunier, 30, was charged with murder and felony child abuse and was being held without bond in the Durham County jail.
Police responded to a cardiac arrest call at 917 Rome Ave. on June 6, and Briseida Abarada was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy indicated the baby had suffered head injuries, and the Medical Examiner's Office recently ruled her death a homicide, police said.
Beunier is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 19 and Oct. 20.

Hi i was wondering could you help me out with an enquiry i have. I have just posted money for a product which is sold on this website. Its called Norandrodiol made by Kaizen with each capsule containing 100mg of 19-NorAndrostenediol.
I was reading articles by Big Cat about pro-hormones and
came to the conclusion that without doubt that 19-NorAndrostenediol was the best pro-hormone overall in terms of results with no side-effects. For dosage he says Most athletes who supplement with 19-norandrostenediol
consume between 100 and 200 mg per day. Usually they take it in one large dose 45 minutes before working out or training with a large glass of water.
I wont go into too much detail but i have been looking up various
different sites about 19-NorAndrostenediol and it seems that this product when took orally is virtually useless as it is destroyed by the liver and to get any results you would need to be consuming between 600-900mg of this per day.
At the start i was very excited about taking this product but
now i am very disappointed and it seems like just another scam.
Can you tell me what results if any i can expect taking 200mg per day or am i just throwing my money down the drain.
Thanking you,
Thread: 19-NorAndrostenediol
You need close to a gram daily of oral nordiol to see results. Best stacked with 4AD.

Apparently there are two conferences in the NFL.
Yeah, I know, right? Who knew?
All season we've been exclusively focused in on the AFC because at the end of the day, you only have to play one NFC to win the Super Bowl. Now that the playoffs have advanced a level, we can start to consider the inferior of the two conferences. Let's take this weekend's games as they come.
Arizona @ New Orleans
The Colts already drilled the Cardinals this year at Arizona, and honestly I just don't Zona is that good. The Saints have been slumping, but I'd rather see the statue that is Kurt Warner in the Super Bowl than Drew Brees. I think the Saints win today by double digits, but it would be great to have the Cards still around for one more week. Emotionally, I'm fine with either team.
Dallas @ Minnesota
As long as none of us have jumped off a bridge tonight, and we can still stand the sight of football tomorrow, there should be some good games to watch. The Vikes have been the most overrated team in football for months. Their only victories against winning teams were Green Bay and Cincinnati. I think they are utterly fraudulent, and I would love to see them in the Super Bowl. They are the team I would most want the Colts to face from the NFC. Unfortunately, I don't think they are going to beat Dallas in a matchup of two horrid coaches. Still, I'll be pulling for the home team in this game.
New York Jets @ San Diego
I have no fear of the Chargers, but I've made my opinions known about the Jets. I think they are no better than 13th best team in football. I think the Colts would rip them to shreds. I think the Chargers are vulnerable and not nearly as scary as the media does, but please. In this case, any sane person would want the Jets ten ways to Sunday. Mostly, I'm hoping for a triple overtime game with lots of injuries (none serious, just the kind that leave half the winning roster unavailable for a week). Again, if I'm picking this game, I pick the Chargers.
So there you have it, I'm rooting for all three teams I expect to lose. At this level, it makes sense. I want the weakest teams going forward. In my estimation those are the Cards, Vikes and Jets.

For our new readers, the ones without the physics PhDs and the rock-hard sexually magnetic physiques, quantum entanglement is the phenomenon where two particles are put in the same state, and then separated. The neat part is, once you change the state of one particle, the other changes instantaneously.
Scientifically speaking, we think it's because of elves.
Either way, quantum entanglement is actually extremely important to communications because they're highly secure: there's literally nothing in quantum communications to intercept. So they can be used to pass on information in a way that basically nobody except the recipient can read. Needless to say, governments are intensely interested in this technology.
Anyway, the big problem is that so far, we've only been able to send these entangled particles 16 kilometers or so away. Fortunately, a team in China has worked out how to send them nearly 100 kilometers.
Next step? Sending entangled particles to satellites, and picking up the bitrate; currently you can only send five qubits or so a second. Also punching out an anti-Shepard reporter.

Far out! That pretty much describes my November Picks, a trio of silly books students seemed to enjoy. What better way to spend a day then in the company of a child who befriends a squash, a bunny set to take on the world, and a squirrel with super powers. You're sure to relish reading these reviews! Remember to "Page On" in the new year!
"Sophie's Squash," by Pat Zietlow Miller.
Reviewed by Kaylee Benhardt, Second Grade, St. John the Baptist School.
"I thought this book would be about a girl with a squash. It was about a girl who bought and named a squash. She took care of it like a baby until it started to rot. Then she planted it. I liked the book. It was silly that she named and took care of a squash. I'm like Sophie because I like taking care of things."
Reviewed by Annie Obermark, St. John the Baptist School.
"I thought this book would be about a squash. It was. Once upon a time there was a squash; then someone bought it. Then the little Sophie drew a face on the squash and treated it like a baby. I loved the book! It was funny. I would be like Sophie because I don't want to eat a squash."
Reviewed by Hayden Ley, Second Grade, St. John the Baptist School.
"I read 'Sophie's Squash.' I thought it would be about a girl growing a squash. The book was about a girl who bought a squash and named it Bernice. One day her dad bought a fish named Ace because Bernice was a squash and she was rotting. They didn't want the girl to be sad because her squash was gone. Then she buried the squash, and it grew.
"I liked this book because I thought it was funny. You're supposed to eat a squash, not play with it. I'm like Sophie because I plant vegetables."
Reviewed by Brandon Dowil, Second Grade, St. John the Baptist School.
"I thought this book would be about a girl with a squash. It was about a girl who loved her squash. It was weird because Sophie drew a face on the squash. You are supposed to eat squash, not play with them. I am like Sophie because I don't like eating squash."
Reviewed by Joseph Zagarri, Kindergarten, Beaufort Elementary School.
"Sophie is so silly! She has a vegetable for a best friend! Her parents don't understand. The squash got spots and got squishy. Sophie was sad, but she planted it to feel better.
"The parents tried to get her a fish…boring. After winter, it was spring, and Bernice the Squash sprouted. Sophie was happy and watched the plant grow every day. Then she was surprised to see two baby squash! Everyone was happy."
"Battle Bunny," by Jon Scieszka and Mac Barnett.
Reviewed by Isabelle Zagarri, Third Grade, Beaufort Elementary School.
"'Battle Bunny' is supposed to be 'Birthday Bunny,' but since Gran Gran gave that book to Alex, he doodled all over it and made it 'Battle Bunny' instead and somehow they published it. Also instead of 'it's your birthday,' Alex wrote 'it's doomsday!' Alex put himself in the book too, with the president. All the animals, Bunny's friends, Alex made Bunny's enemies. Bunny knows 1, 104 styles of kicks, and Ninja Turtle (Turtle) and Shaolin Bear (Bear) only know 1,103. 'Battle Bunny' is a funny book. Kids will laugh out loud!"
Reviewed by Mrs. Burke's Second Grade Class, St. John the Baptist School.
"When we read the title of this book, and looked at the cover, we thought that it might be about a battle between a bunch of bunnies or an angry bunny. This story was about a bunny that had a birthday. He thought none of his friends remembered his special day, and his friends found a way to surprise him.
"He used his editing skills to make the story seem more exciting. He even made his friends seem a little mean. We liked how he changed the story. It was very funny because his second story was full of actions that were a little ridiculous. We also liked all the action in the rewrite."
"Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures," by Kate DiCamillo.
Reviewed by Cole McPherson, Eighth Grade, Washington Middle School.
"This book is about a girl and a squirrel's exciting adventures. The setting takes place at Flora's house and many other places, such as the Giant Do-Nut. The purpose of this book is to entertain middle age kids while teaching a lesson.
"The main characters are Flora; Ulysses, the squirrel; Flora's father, George Buckman; William Spiver, who likes Flora; and Dr. Meescham, the vet. In the beginning, a squirrel gets sucked up in a vacuum cleaner called a Ulysses 2000x. Flora gets the squirrel out of the vacuum, decides to keep him as a pet and names him Ulysses, after the vacuum.
"Flora and Ulysses go on different adventures with Flora's father, George. One of the places they go is the Giant Do-Nut. Flora takes Ulysses to the restaurant in a shoebox. Ulysses escapes, ends up on the head of a waitress, flies off of it and smacks into a window. Ulysses passes out, so Flora rushes him to Dr. Meescham to have him checked out.
"I think the author did a very good job writing the story. She made her point by showing that no matter what kind of person you are, you can be helpful. My favorite part of the story is where Flora gets the squirrel out of the vacuum cleaner because I think it is very kind to save the squirrel and it was hilarious to read. I also liked when Flora went on the different adventures with Ulysses and her father because they are really funny characters and made me laugh as well.
"I can relate to Flora because I would have done some of the same things that she did—like saving the squirrel. I also can relate to George Buckman because I would have not killed the squirrel, like Flora's mother wanted to. This book is similar to other books I have read because it's an adventurous story with good moral lessons taught at the same time.
"I would recommend this book to any middle school student. If you like to read really fun adventures—you will like this book. I give it four out of five beehives."
Reviewed by Kaylin Zeltmann, Eighth Grade, Washington Middle School.
"If readers want a good entertaining, funny book, this is the book for them! The genre is not really realistic; it has many fantasy superheroes and other things throughout the story.
"In the beginning, Flora's neighbor, Mrs. Tickham, vacuums up a squirrel. She does everything she can to try and retrieve the squirrel. After the squirrel got spit out of the vacuum, she starts to realize that this squirrel is different, not the same as a normal squirrel—it understands human language.
"Flora names the squirrel Ulysses. She starts to think of him as a superhero, because of all the comics she reads. As time goes on, she starts to think Ulysses has a nemesis, like superheroes do in her comic books. Flora's parents are divorced. She starts to realize that her mother is a villain. Her father tries to help save Ulysses. Read this great book to find out more!
"The author's technique in the book was excellent. She was very unique and funny in her own ways. I did think that DiCamillo got her point across in the book; she made it very detailed: 'A window was left open. A squirrel flies in the window. The heart of an old woman rejoices!'
"DiCamillo's writing style is different and I enjoyed it very much. This book wasn't really anything like I've ever read before, and I'm happy I tried it out!"
"Any age would probably be able to read this book, probably grades fourth through eighth. The book would be a good family book; the whole family should enjoy its entertainment."
Reviewed by Morgan Hammer, Age 10, Immaculate Conception School.
"This book is a story of how this young girl and a mischievous squirrel have many wonderful adventures, such as the time Ulysses is almost sucked up into a vacuum. This book is full of ups and downs, but one thing you will see on every page is love.
"I would refer this book to my dad because he always enjoys a good laugh. He often makes people around him laugh.
"In this story, Flora feels like she is not loved by her mother. This squirrel brings joy into her life. This story is full of surprises or as Flora would say holy bagumba!
"In this book, Flora's mom takes Ulysses in a sack to…kidnap, (or squirrel nap)! Flora knows it's up to her not only to save a squirrel but her very best friend. I have loved this book and I really, really, really hope Ms. DiCamillo will write another book about Flora and Ulysses."
Reviewed by Sarah Rembecki, Fifth Grade, Immaculate Conception School.
"Brilliantly hilarious, 'Flora and Ulysses' is a book with lots of family. I loved this book because Flora loved Ulysses, and Ulysses loved Flora. When Ulysses wanted a giant donut, it was sad when he never got one.
"It all started with a vacuum, and it led to Ulysses saving the day, or something like that, with a little help from William Spiver, the despicable mother, the stupid Marg Ann, the hilarious George Buckman, the fast-driving Tootie, the record-playing Dr. Meescham and the natural born cynic, Flora.
"Holy Bagumba! that squirrel has powers. He can talk, or something, type, sort of, and fly. I was never bored in this story, so I listened all the way through.
"I recommend this book to everyone who likes humor, squirrels and giant donuts."
Reviewed by Wil Schmucke, Fifth Grade, Immaculate Conception School.
"I liked 'Flora and Ulysses' because it was a great story with funny characters. There were funny moments in it. They had great names. The vacuum cleaner's name was Ulysses so the squirrel got named Ulysses too because he got sucked up in the vacuum.
"I would inspire that kids read this story. The illustrator and author did really good with this book. More people should read this. It was a great kid's book. Kate DiCamillo is a great author."
Reviewed by Macie Steffens, Fifth Grade, Our Lady of Lourdes School.
"I loved this book. It was an easy ready and very interesting. It is about a girl named Flora and a flying, typing squirrel named Ulysses.
"This book was about all of the adventures that the two friends had. When Flora found out the squirrel could type, they wrote down the adventures.
"This is now one of my favorite books. It is written by the same author who wrote 'Because of Winn Dixie,' that we just read in school."

SOE be centrally managed, deployed and dispatched
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Standard Operating Environment (SOE) is a standard implementation of an operating system and its associated software. Other common names for this are:
- MOE – Managed Operating Environment
- COE – Consistent or Common Operating Environment
- MDE – Managed Desktop Environment
- DMS – Desktop Managed Services[citation needed]
- OSP[citation needed]
- SDE – Standard Desktop Environment.
- "Standard Image"
It is typically implemented as a standard Disk Image that can be mass deployed to more than one computer in an organization. It can include the base operating system, a custom configuration, standard applications used within an organization, software updates and service packs. An SOE can apply to servers, desktops, laptops, thin clients, and mobile devices.
The major advantage of having an SOE in a business environment is the reduction in the cost and time to deploy, configure, maintain, support and manage computers. By standardizing the hardware and software platforms used within an organization, the IT department or service provider can deploy new computers and correct problems with existing computers quickly. A standardized, repeatable and automated solution creates a known, expected and supportable environment. A standardized solution ensures known outcomes are maintained, with automation providing the key to speed, repeatability and standardization.
There are many Windows deployment guides and tools available from Microsoft and other vendors. Many businesses endeavor to build their own SOE solutions using the Microsoft Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) solution accelerator or Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT). However, some do not have the capability to build all features in one single SOE and their processes often include documented manual configuration steps.
SOEs on Mac OS X, Linux, and other Unix/Unix-like systems can typically be made simply by creating and deploying disk images. This can be achieved using tools such as Disk Utility and dd. Whereas deploying a disk image originating from a system with non-identical hardware will often result in boot failure with Windows, the process is generally achievable on Unix systems with the caveat that the systems must be of the same computer architecture and drivers will need to be installed on the image for all the possible hardware configurations. Since Apple does not have third party computer manufacturers usually only hardware add-ons are a concern with respect to drivers. On Linux most hardware with kernel support can be auto-detected. Boot scripts can be used for automated post-deployment configuration.
There are also a number of vendor specific SOE systems for various Linux/Unix-like distributions. For Solaris the use of jumpstart scripts is more frequent to ease the automation of setting specific parameters for each system. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux this is typically done by using kickstart scripts, there are specific products to create and manage an SOE like Red Hat Network Satellite Server which avoid the disk space usage and maintenance difficulties of managing disk images.
However ONLY Phantosys can be compatible to Windows all series from Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8.1 or Windows server 200,2003,2008 or 2012 and Linux all versions(depended on its popularity and market demand) for desktop, Notebook, graphic workstations, Industrial PC and servers etc.in one image simultaneously.

Daniel Cormier's agility and athleticism proved too much for Roy Nelson in the co-main event of UFC 166 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
Cormier cruised to a unanimous, 30-27 decision.
The 37-year-old Nelson, ranked No. 9 in the heavyweight division, dropped to 20-9.
The 34-year-old Cormier, the No. 2 ranked heavyweight, is now 13-0. He also noted that his next fight will be at light heavyweight.
Nelson, the BJJ black belt, and Cormier, an Olympic wrestler, showcased their grappling in the first round, which was a dominant affair for Cormier.
An early takedown for Cormier came before the four minute mark in the first round. He transitioned to a cradle and then pinned Nelson against the cage. Nelson nearly got back to his feet but Cormier kept putting the pressure and delivered a nice knee to the midsection. Once back to the feet, Cormier peppered him with short punches and a knee, including one below the belt. The fight restarted on their feet the final minute of the round and Nelson was gunning for the big right hand to end the round but whiffed four times. Cormier landed 21 significant strikes in the round.
In the second round, Cromier was content to keep the fight standing early in the round. Cormier continued to baffle and keep Nelson and his knockout power at a safe distance.
Cormier landed another knee and worked a single leg takedown. He pinned Nelson against the cage at the two minute mark and continued to land effective, short shots. It appeared fatigued started to set in for Nelson late in the round as Cormier switched things up and started landing multiple kicks.
The third round saw a desperate Nelson behind on the scorecards. With instructions from his corner to go for the knockout, "Big Country" couldn't close the distance. Cormier, who may have hurt his hand earlier in the fight, landed some effective leg kicks, front kicks, and a hard kick to the body. A frustrated Nelson tried to bait Cormier into an exchange late in the round but Cormier was just too smooth and elusive.
Cormier was coming off a unanimous decision win over Frank Mir in his UFC debut in August.
Nelson had won four of five fights before losing to Stipe Miocic in June of this year.

COSTA MESA – Turkeys tore around a track at the OC Fair on Wednesday in hot pursuit of a remote-controlled pace car filled with turkey treats.
The racers' clucks and gobbles filled the Livestock Show Ring as a standing-room-only crowd of nearly 500 people cheered – and chuckled – in approval. The fine-feathered spectacle was the first race of the Wild West Turkey Stampede, a new event that continues through Sunday. Daily races are held at 2, 4, 6 and 8 p.m.
The event included two races. First up were six turkeys of two varieties: Giant Holland White and Broad Breasted Bronze. About 4 months old, the turkeys had already packed on between 20 to 40 pounds.
"These would be your Butterballs," the race announcer joked.
The pace car was no match for these turkeys, who caught up with it the instant it stalled.
In the second race, 19 heritage-breed turkeys, all about 3 months old and quite a bit smaller, trailed the pace car in a flurry of flapping wings and cackling.
Their antics generated big grins from spectators of all ages.
Charlie Saunders, who was there with her two grandsons, was happy the boys got to see live turkeys up close.
"I love seeing the animals here and this is the funniest thing ever," the 69-year-old said.
Before the race, the toms and hens warmed up with a few laps around the track, before chilling out in an air-conditioned pen, said Nancy Riegler, the turkeys' owner.
"We don't just bring them out cold turkey," Riegler quipped.
She said none of the turkeys have names, except for a 42-pound, 4-month-old called Turk-ules, in a nod to the hero of mythological strength. She said the turkeys train for about a month before they're ready to race. They learn to chase the remote-controlled truck and to gather at the starting gate.
"It's just enough to give them an idea of what to expect," said Riegler, 52, who raises the turkeys with her husband, Gil, at their ranch in Ramona. "You don't want them to overtrain. It's got to be organic comedy."
At her ranch, the turkeys eat game-bird feed, grasshoppers, crickets, and pretty much any kind of bug, except ants. She said they're great as watchdogs and pets, and after the turkeys' racing careers end, Riegler has a waiting list of people who want to take them home.
Whether these turkeys might wind up on someone's dinner table was on Michelle Katzman's mind. "I usually only see turkeys in the supermarket," Katzman said. The Ladera Ranch resident stayed after the 2 p.m. show to ask Riegler about the turkeys.
In the summer, the turkeys make the rounds at fairs throughout the West, as far away as New Mexico and Utah.
Riegler said the turkey race started as a lark. "We were only going to do it one year as a gas," she said. "Now 12 years later, the joke is on us."

There are people who wish that TTAC would just go away. This coming week, their dearest wishes will be fulfilled. My special friend in Moscow won't have to send hate mail anymore: TTAC is finally going South.
Our intrepid leader Ed Niedermeyer, Steven Lang, the fastest mouth in the South, "lock-your-daughters-in-the-basement" Jack Baruth, and yours truly will go on a tour of turkey shoots, kudzu, and southern transplants. For me, it's one of those strange trips where you arrive earlier than you depart (Beijing to Atlanta) and you nonetheless feel like a truck hit you.
We will post from en-route – if the Motel 8 has Internet. Y'all come back now, y'hea?

Interesting caption on the picture, visible when its blown up. The Maupins and the Shifflets are from central Virginia, west of Charlottesville around the Blue Ridge. If you drive the backroads around there, you will see any number of mailboxes with those names on them. Also the Omonhundros are big in that area.
Charlottesville, the home of "Mr. (Thomas) Jefferson's University" (a/k/a the University of Virginia) and Thomas Jefferson's "Monticello" residence although physically not far away, is light-years away socially and culturally.

Directors of the county's health care agency for the poor have agreed to spend $10 million more annually on specialist doctors – and to bump the pay for two of the agency's top executives.
Higher doctors' rates, officials said, might keep physicians from dropping Medicaid patients.
The health insurer for nearly 500,000 low-income or senior Orange County residents, CalOptima, will soon be competing against commercial health plans created under the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. Also, Obamacare expands Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California), which means an influx of patients who will need cardiologists, ophthalmologists and other such physicians.
"We think there's going to be more competition to access these specialists," said Javier Sanchez, CalOptima's chief network officer.
Funding will come from an unexpected $13 million in Medi-Cal revenue at CalOptima, officials said.
Specialists will be reimbursed about 8 percent more – a bump that could possibly draw new physicians into the network and translate to shorter patient wait-times. Still, doctors will get less than under Medicare, the public insurance for seniors.
"There are too many doctors who are falling away from taking CalOptima and Medi-Cal rates because they cannot survive," said Dr. Peter Anderson, the director of the emergency department at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital.
Anderson cautioned, though, the additional funding may not reach all the specialists. Healthcare networks can take the higher rate in aggregate, and then distribute it among doctors unevenly – more for specialists who are in higher demand, for instance.
"We want to make sure it gets to all the doctors in the network in a fair fashion," he said.
Also Thursday, the CalOptima Board of Directors approved a $27,000 one-time bonus for Chief Executive Officer Michael Schrader, and an $8,000 raise for Chief Counsel Gary Crockett. Schrader's annual base salary is $315,000 and Crockett's was $206,000.
Former board members criticized Crockett during the past two years for mishandling legal questions regarding open meetings and conflicts of interest. Last year, the county Grand Jury wrote that CalOptima spent more than $500,000 on outside law firms and "consumed countless hours of staff time investigating these allegations."
But all the directors who voted Thursday supported the two salary increases.
"We looked at it as a systemic issue, not a one-person issue," said board member Michael Riley, who is also the director of the county Social Services Agency.
As of August, CalOptima had a $3.6 million operating surplus; its total budget is about $1.5 billion.

If there's one infatuation I and many men have, it is the love affair with cars. When I got my first paycheck, I bought myself not only a nice 850GLT Volvo (yes, an old man car for a 22 yr old kid), but also a Honda CBR600 racing bike! I had nowhere to park them in in NYC, so I actually had to park 20 blocks away, and take the subway back to my apartment! I dumped $18,000 in cash for the vehicles, and had to pay an additional $300/month for parking and transportation fees to my vehicles! How ridiculous is that?
Most of us have some materialistic vice we go gaga over. One lady I know has $20,000 worth of purses, and another $10,000 worth of shoes. But if you think about it, her vice isn't so bad since the average car a guy desires is probably in the $25-45,000 range. Why we throw so much money discipline out the window when we stumble across our vices, I donno. What I will tell you after purchasing and selling 8 different cars (new and old), is that I've figured out some fantastic tips to: 1) Getting the best deal, and 2) Satiating ones desires.

|This route is the best of a series of great moderate single pitch trad lines. Romper Room is a solid area to check out if you're looking for a more low key afternoon. Plus you've got Lotta Balls wall nearby for some bigger moderates. Routes get sun mid-day, but move into the shade in the mid- to late afternoon. Agree that this is better than Doobie Dance, but both are worth hitting.

When I was seven or eight the teenage girl that lived behind us was really hot. She often walked around in a swimsuit sporting her massive Walkman and to this day if you say the Walkman name I think about good ol' Debbie. The Walkman has changed a lot over the years, Debbie has as well. The Walkman got slimmer and last I saw, the opposite had happened to my adolescent fantasy babe.
Sony has announced that the Walkman is going to change again next year with the introduction of an Android powered version. Details are scant at this point. What is known is that the navigation for the DAP will be powered by Android.
Google's open source and free OS is finding a home in many different products of late. We first saw Android in smartphones and then it started trickling into netbooks. Now we will get Android DAPs and I suspect before it is all said and done, Android will find its way into other electronic devices as well.

Tokyo > Hiroshima > Kyoto > Tokyo with JR Pass?
HI there,
We are travelling in japan in September this year. After 10 days in Tokyo we are thinking of taking the train from Tokyo to Hiroshima - staying 2 nights then travelling to Osaka for a few days and then Kyoto for a few days, before heading back to Tokyo.
Do you think we need a rail pass ( we were considering a 14 day pass) or is it better to buy individual tickets?
There are 2 adults and 3 children under 11 travelling
Hi Clare,
Lets take a look at your basic JR ticket costs first:
TOTAL: ¥41630 for 4 legs
The 7 day JR Pass costs ¥28,300 and 14 day costs ¥45,100. As you can see from your itinerary you'll certainly make good savings on your travel with a 7 day rail pass, but would need to do a little more JR travel to make purchasing a 14 day rail pass worthwhile - perhaps a day trip to Nikko from Tokyo?
You can look up train timetables and costs for all of your legs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia for Japan Rail Pass holders through our video blog.
Hope this helps!
Order your Japan Rail Pass Online
Starting from $257.00 for 7 days of unlimited Japan Rail travel

Fed releases two new consumer credit guides
Published April 1, 2011 | April 2011 issue
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has released two online resources designed to educate the public about aspects of consumer credit. The first resource, the Consumer's Guide to Credit Reports and Credit Scores, uses a question-and-answer format to explain credit reports, credit scores, and the importance of protecting personal credit histories. The guide provides instructions and contact information for actions such as fixing errors on credit reports and opting out of unsolicited credit offers.
The second new resource, titled What You Need to Know: New Rules about Credit Decisions and Notices, explains a type of notice that creditors are now required to send borrowers. Under new rules that took effect January 1, 2011, a creditor must send a borrower a notice when, based on the borrower's credit report, the creditor provides credit to the borrower on terms that are less favorable than those provided to other consumers. A borrower who receives this "risk-based pricing" notice can then obtain a free credit report in order to check it for accuracy.
Both of the new guides are available at www.federalreserve.gov/consumerinfo.

Michaël Borremans
|Michaël Borremans
Michaël Borremans by Filip Naudts
Geraardsbergen, Belgium
|Known for
Michaël Borremans (born in 1963) is a Belgian painter and filmmaker who lives and works in Ghent. His painting technique draws on 18th-century art as well as the works of Édouard Manet and Degas, the artist also cites the Spanish court painter Diego Velázquez as an important influence. His earlier drawings, many of which belong to the collection of fellow painter Jan Van Imschoot, are often used as a basis for his later paintings; in recent years, he has been using photographs he has made himself or made-to-order sculptures as the basis for his paintings.[1]
Borremans studied at the Hogeschool voor Kunst en Wetenschappen Sint-Lucas (College of Arts and Sciences Saint Luke) in Ghent. Originally trained as a photographer, he turned his attention to drawing and painting in the mid-nineties, he uses old photographs of people and landscapes as inspiration for his work. His eye for detail and a perfection in execution have an alienating character.
Until his break-through, he was a teacher at the Stedelijk Secundair Kunstinstituut Gent (Secondary Municipal Art Institute of Ghent). Another painter Jan Van Imschoot had seen and bought many pieces of his work when it was exhibited in his local pub in Kalken, he put him in touch with Jan Hoet, the founder of the S.M.A.K. (Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst) (City Museum for Contemporary Art) in Ghent, Belgium. This led to an introduction to Frank Demaegd, owner of Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp, where he had his first major exhibition.
Exhibitions and projects[edit]
In 2011, Borremans' work was the subject of a solo exhibition, titled Eating the Beard, which was first on view at Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart in Germany and traveled to Műcsarnok Kunsthalle, Budapest, and Kunsthalle Helsinki in Finland; in 2010, he had a solo exhibition at the Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo, and in 2009, he had a solo show at the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover, Germany [2] In 2007, he had a solo show at gallery De Appel in Amsterdam, focusing on his cinematic works;[3] in 2005, he had a one-person exhibition of paintings and drawings at the Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.), Ghent. The paintings then traveled to Parasol unit foundation for contemporary art, London, and The Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin, while the drawings traveled to the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio. Other solo exhibitions include La maison rouge, Paris (2006); Kunsthalle Bremerhaven, Bremerhaven, Germany; and the Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel, Switzerland (both 2004). In 2004, he participated in Manifesta 5, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art.[4]
He is represented by Zeno X Gallery in Antwerp and David Zwirner in New York.
In 2014, he had solo exhibition at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels, Belgium (19.02 - 01.06.2014).
Public collections, including The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, Georgia; The Israel Museum, Jerusalem; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Museum of Modern Art, New York;[5] National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford; Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (S.M.A.K.), Ghent; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota; Deutsche Bank; among others; Dallas Museum of Art

The concept of people management is viewed with "healthy scepticism" at Google, according to the firm's head of organisational culture, benefit and people policies in EMEA.
Rachel Mooney told PM at ?What If!'s Top Dog live event: "Early on at Google, there was a cynicism around 'people managers' as a concept and as a profession in itself. Within our organisation there isn't really the 'career' people manager. If you're a manager at Google you're expected to get your hands dirty. You're never separate from the day-to-day work."
Working within a flattened structure, peer-to-peer evaluation is king, and the team rather than the manager is expected to identify problems and come up with solutions. This can often see a team playing table football at three in the afternoon, joked Mooney. But she's happy to defend such play while at work: "In any high-performing organisation you have to be aware of people's quality of life and work-life balance. We've taken significant steps, based around the way our founders set up the organistaion, to blur the boundaries between work and home life."
"We have managed so far to get the balance right and to support people," said Mooney, "but it comes down to who you hire. We do not lower the hiring bar for anyone." And with one million speculative applications received through the website each year, there are certainly plenty of people to pick from.

Shake Out Their Pockets: With demand for public benefits on the rise, is the state's public assistance system penny-wise and pound-foolish?
Last week, a staff attorney for the New Mexico Human Services Department filed a small batch of collections cases at the 1st Judicial District Court in Santa Fe that concern alleged overpayments of benefits such as cash assistance, food stamps and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. The suits date back several years and all but one of the defendants are women; the average amount they were allegedly overpaid was $1,417. The smallest claim was filed against a woman in Albuquerque, who'd been on TANF, and claims that, in January 2007, she was overpaid $231 in benefits.
A search of the state court system's website turns up 18 such collections cases so far in 2009. According to HSD's website, the bureau "tracks as many as 120,000 active claims representing over 70,000 individual" accounts. As for the success the agency has in its collections, HSD Communications Director Betina Gonzales McCracken tells SFR via email the agency does not "maintain collection rate data at this time."
SFR also queried HSD on its process for determining, after the fact, benefit ineligibility. Those determinations, Gonzales McCracken writes, "are made by the HSD Income Support Division." Overpayments sometimes happen, she writes, as a result of a "processing error, incorrect information from a client, or as a result of a fraudulent application for public assistance benefits." Overpayments, when identified, are collected by the Restitution Services Bureau of the Office of the Inspector General in either small monthly payments, small reductions in "future public assistance benefits," or repayment from the client's federal or state income tax return, comparable to "procedures used by other state agencies to collect overpayments."
As to whether it's cost-efficient to try to collect pocket change from women who were on temporary public assistance two or three years ago, Gonzales McCracken writes: "Depending on the source of the public assistance monies, (federal or state) some programs require HSD to collect funds that have been overpaid by all available means…" such as those listed above.
Andrew Dice Clay's New Gig: As SFR reported on SFReeper.com last week, most of the juicy bits in the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission's employee ethics surveys were blacked out "because they contained anonymous personal criticisms," according to PRC spokesman Gerald Garner Jr.
The general consensus from the surveys is the agency's problems come from the top. But some employees demonstrate, um, questionable judgment. In response to one question regarding whether it's ethical if "an employee of a regulated entity asks you out on a date," one responder answers, "If she is sexy and good looking."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Texas A&M officials say freshman defensive lineman Polo Manukainiu (mah-NEW-ky-a-new) has died in a rollover crash in New Mexico during a trip home from Utah.
Authorities say an 18-year-old man was the driver in a single-car crash that killed Texas A&M freshman football player Polo Manukainiu (mah-NOO'-ky-uh-noo) and a friend who was joining the Utah football team this fall.
New Mexico State Police spokesman Emmanuel Gutierrez says Siaosi Salesi Uhatafe (oo-ha-tah-feh) Jr. crashed the SUV he was driving late Monday when he over-corrected the vehicle. It rolled several times near the town of Cuba, in northern New Mexico.
The crash killed three passengers: 19-year-old Manukainiu, 13-year-old Andrew Uhatafe and 18-year-old Gaius Vaenuku, who was joining the Utes this season.
Authorities says the driver was the only one wearing his seat belt. He and his father, Salesi Uhatafe, suffered minor injuries and were the only survivors.

Business chiefs back anti-euro campaign
British business leaders and economists have given their backing to a new campaign against the single European currency.
Some 338 people signed a double-page advertisement in Wednesday's Financial Times, saying: "We, the above names, do not wish Britain to be locked into the euro, leading to higher taxes and employment costs, and the wrong interest rate risking a return to boom and bust."
Three former "wise men" of the Treasury have also put their names to the letter: Professors Patrick Minford, Roger Bootle and Tim Congdon.
The advertisement in the FT stressed that the signatories were supporting the campaign in a personal capacity, and their signatures did not necessarily indicate a corporate position.
The two main anti-euro organisations in the UK, Business for Sterling and New Europe, joined forces on Monday to launch their new campaign against the single currency.
The campaign, called simply "No", aims to put forward the economic and constitutional cases against the UK adopting the euro, while maintaining that the country should retain its EU membership.
'Economic advantages'
Business for Sterling chief executive Nick Herbert said on Wednesday: "In spite of a few vocal companies which have problems exacerbated by the euro's weakness, a clear majority of businesses oppose joining the euro and giving up our economic advantages."
Business for Sterling is also publishing a document setting out what it sees as the business case against British membership of the euro.
It argues that the costs of the euro outweigh the benefits, and that the single currency threatens the UK's economic stability.

IOWA CITY – Iowa concludes spring football practices today with a rarity, a controlled scrimmage featuring four 15-minute quarters instead of the drill-heavy format used in recent years.
"It will be a chance for us to get out and show everybody what we can do, a good way to wrap up the spring," running back Mark Weisman said. "Everybody likes to compete."
The 2 p.m. scrimmage at Kinnick Stadium is free, but fans are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the ANF Food Bank Drive. Seating is limited to the west and south grandstands, and there will be no post-scrimmage autograph session.
Iowa, which is coming off a 4-8 season, returns 14 starters – six on offense and eight on defense – but plenty of competition is taking place this spring as players jockey for spots on the depth chart. Check out five things, including the battle at quarterback, to watch during today's scrimmage on Page D3.
Coaches say the race to replace James Vandenberg at quarterback remains too close to call.
None of the candidates, sophomore Jake Rudock, junior Cody Sokol and freshman C.J. Beathard, has taken a snap in a Hawkeyes game, and all are beginning their second year working with offensive coordinator Greg Davis.
"There is a whole litany of things they are aware of that we are trying to evaluate," Davis said.
Iowa has spent most its spring practices rotating quarterbacks every third snap no matter the situation on the field. The rotation continues today, but it is likely all three will be given the chance to lead the offense from start to the completion of a drive.
Davis expects the competition at quarterback to extend into fall camp and perhaps into the early weeks of the regular season.
Kevonte Martin-Manley caught a team-leading 52 passes last season, and aside from one start by senior Jordan Cotton, he is the only Iowa receiver who has significant experience on his resume.
Senior Don Shumpert and sophomores Tevaun Smith and Jacob Hillyer have been among the most competitive receivers this spring, although the trio combined for a total of three receptions last season.
It is possible that key members of Iowa's 2013 receiving corps won't be in uniform today. Five newcomers will compete for playing time once fall camp begins, although Davis said realistically, "maybe one or two of those guys, hopefully, will be able to come in and offer some help."
Reese Morgan doesn't wear a lab coat, but the Iowa defensive line coach has used spring ball for plenty of experimentation.
Dominic Alvis and Louis Trinca-Pasat, sidelined this spring after having rotator cuff surgery, give Iowa two returning starters on a defensive front that is expected to rotate up to eight players.
Tackle Carl Davis, a 6-foot-5, 310-pound junior, has drawn praise for his work this spring and defensive coordinator Phil Parker likes the growth he has seen from an otherwise young group of linemen, including sophomores Drew Ott, Riley McMinn, Darian Cooper and Melvin Spears as well as redshirt freshmen Faith Ekakitie, Jaleel Johnson and Daumantas Venckus-Cucchiara.
Austin Blythe, a freshman all-American at guard last season, is moving to center. Junior college transfer Eric Simmons also is competing at the spot.
Tackles Brett Van Sloten and Brandon Scherff return the most experience on an offensive line that includes four other players with starting experience. Redshirt freshmen Ryan Ward, Mitch Keppy and Cole Croston continue to fill spots on the depth chart.
Playing behind a group of three senior linebackers, Iowa returns three starters in the secondary, but a number of young players are looking for opportunities beside safeties Tanner Miller, Nico Law and cornerback B.J. Lowery.
Sophomores Jordan Lomax and Sean Draper are vying to replace Micah Hyde at the open cornerback position, while junior John Lowdermilk shares the top spot on the depth chart at strong safety with Law.
Three redshirt freshmen, cornerback Maurice Fleming and safeties Ruben Lile and Anthony Gair, have worked their way into the mix.

Safety of popular weight loss hormone questioned
Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:46:07 GMT —
By tablet, liquid or injection, HCG sells.In my field we have sold, I can TMt even keep track, said Hector Madrigal, owner of Hector TMs Health Co. in McAllen.
The hormone chorionic gonadotropin is reportedly extracted from a pregnant woman TMs urine.
Hector TMs Health Co. provides only liquid and HCG tablets.
He said HCG injections can be dangerous.
Twenty one days, 21 shots and you have to inject yourself in the stomach every day for 21 days to lose a pound or one pound and a half, said Madrigal. You have to stay on a 500 calorie diet.
For those reasons, the injection method raises concerns.
The Food and Drug Administration now wants customers to know it does not approve of HCG.
The Texas Attorney General worked out agreements between the FDA and several Texas weight loss clinics.
The FDA wanted the clinics to change how they advertise, stressing that the FDA does not approve of HCG.
Madrigal told Action 4 News his style of treatment is safe.
He said it should only be undertaken after thorough research.
It TMs intensive, said Madrigal. You have to be very serious, and it takes a lot of service. We have to sit down with you and talk about it.
According to Madrigal, there are scams involving HCG.
Madrigal said stores are selling a weight loss product claiming to have HCG.
He said if you check the small print, the bottle may say it contains none of the hormone.

Film Inspired Thanksgiving Outfit
I love the Film Petit series that jessica from a little gray and Kristen from skirt as top do. Film Petit is about kid's outfits inspired by movies you love instead of what your kids love. I didn't choose a movie I love; instead I chose a Thanksgiving movie. Well, sort of. The only one I could find that I'd actually seen was Pocohantas. While looking through pictures I was inspired by Meeko the raccoon.
I was inspired to do red pants from the picture of Meeko acting as a chief with red paw prints on his chest. I've wanted to make red skinny pants for Henry for most of his life. I wanted to get red stretch twill, but went with a red orange because it was cheaper.
I happened to have the perfect black and gray striped sweater that matched Meeko's tail. I was thinking about being pretty literal, but decided not to so Henry could wear it more often. I really wanted a shawl collar because I thought it copied the raccoon's neck. I used the Varsity Cowl Neck Pullover Pattern for the sweater. I liked the pattern but found the sizing to be a little off. I will be more careful the next time I use it.

Deep Profiling Float Descends to 4000-meters
Teledyne Webb Research's new version of its Autonomous Profiling Explorer (APEX®) makes a record 13,123 ft dive off Hawaii.
APEX floats are based on a buoyancy engine and have been commercially available since founder Doug Webb started Webb Research in 1982. APEX floats descend to a programmed depth where they become neutrally buoyant and drift. After some interval, usually five to ten days, the buoyancy engine makes the float positively buoyant and it rises to the surface, where it transmits collected data such as temperature and salinity back to researchers via satellite communications.
Researchers use the data to build sophisticated climate, ocean, and weather models. The results are most meaningful when a large population of floats is at sea sampling the oceans.
By designing and manufacturing energy efficient, reliable, and low cost systems, Teledyne Webb Research has played a leading role in populating the world's oceans with profiling floats.
At the World ARGO conference in Venice, held earlier in October, 2012, Dr. Thomas Altshuler, Vice President and Group General Manager for Teledyne Webb Research, Teledyne Benthos, and Teledyne Gavia told the research community that Teledyne was designing a profiling float that would profile at depths up to 6,000 meters, many times, and at a reasonable cost.
Unlike the standard APEX, the APEX Deep utilizes a surprising material for its pressure hull; glass. Glass spheres have been used for many years to provide buoyancy to bottom mounted sensors and instruments. Teledyne Benthos, sister company to TWR, is a world leader in glass flotation and instrument housing technology with state of the art grinding capabilities.
"Our investment in glass technology allows the combined Teledyne Webb Research and Teledyne Benthos team to manufacture the APEX Deep at considerably less cost and with greater price stability than would be available using a more traditional material like titanium," said Altshuler.
Altshuler continued, "We have spent about a year proving that glass hulls can be cycled over 500 times to depths of 6,000 meters." Along with repeating many cycles in the Teledyne pressure tanks, multiple iterations of hull penetrations and fittings have been tested.
The new system design is a direct result of feedback from the community and will give the community a method for conveying ocean sensors into deeper ocean waters. "We learned a lot about how the float will behave in the ocean and some very important logistics and handling considerations," said Petzrick. "All of our lessons learned now, mean an easier transition to routine operations for researchers in the future."

Here, in quick, memorable doses.
That witty, clever (and just a little crooked) Dahl will get you with at least at least one of these stories. He can turn any story on its head, tickle its feet and leave you gasping.
And these sharp short stories will revisit you— you'll find yourself recounting, re-reading… to yourself, to the wind, to strangers in the park… and maybe, if they're really lucky, to your friends.
Some of the stories in this collection you may recall having heard before, and the others, you'll wonder how you ever lived without.
I'd say those of you ages 12+ can handle it…and those of you under 12, may dare to venture there…

The city will be allowed to submit ---- sooner rather than later ---- a new request to annex thousands of largely undeveloped acres abutting the proposed site of Liberty Quarry, a 135-acre mine slated for land on the city's southwestern border.
On Thursday, the county commission that rules on boundary changes voted 4-0, with three commission members absent, to waive the one-year waiting period that is normally imposed on agencies seeking to submit an application that is similar to one that has been denied.
In a separate action Thursday, the commission voted 4-0 to cut in half the fees for filing a new request, dropping the potential cost for the city from $18,400 to $9,200.
"We're very appreciative of (the commission for) the action they took today," said Temecula Assistant City Manager Bob Johnson, one of the city officials who attended Thursday's meeting.
In September, the city's attempt to annex the land, 4,500 acres that is dominated by the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve, was rejected by the county's Local Agency Formation Commission.
That rejection came three months after the commission denied the city's attempt to annex a 5,000-acre parcel that included the reserve and land eyed by Granite Construction for its proposed quarry.
George Spiliotis, the commission's executive officer, said the commission's Thursday action was "rare" because most annexation requests are approved.
"A relatively small proportion of the proposals are denied, maybe 10 percent," he said. Of that 10 percent, only a few request waivers, he said.
Once the city files its new request, Spiliotis said it would take about four or five months for the commission to schedule a hearing.
Spiliotis said the four commissioners who approved the waiver were county Supervisor Bob Buster, Stephen Tomanelli, a Banning resident who serves as the public's representative on the board; Terry Henderson, a La Quinta council member, and Robin Lowe, a Hemet council member.
Johnson said the city plans to submit its new request in the first quarter of next year.
"We've put a lot of energy and effort into it and so when commissioner Lowe stated that she would move forward with this proposal, we decided we've done all this work let's make it happen. There's no reason to wait around," he said.
Lowe, during the September hearing, said that she would agreeable to seeing the city submit a new request due to procedural constraints on the ability of the commission to reconsider its previous denial.
The city has said it wants to annex the land, in part, to partner with San Diego State University, which manages the reserve as a field station, and open it up for expanded use and enjoyment by the public.
Gary Johnson, Granite project manager, said the company has no problem with that plan, but he said it would behoove the city to study the potential environmental effects of that idea before asking the commission to consider a new request.
"We've told the city before and we'll tell them again: We want to work with them and make that idea ---- a great park ---- a reality that benefits everybody," he said.
During the September hearing, legal counsel representing Granite argued against Temecula's scaled-back annexation request, pointing to state law that only allows the commission to reconsider a denial if new information is presented.
Buster, in his comments during that hearing, questioned Granite's motives for opposing the modified request, which didn't include any of the acreage that Granite owns or the acreage it has options to purchase.
He said the Northern California-based company seemed afraid of "strong neighbors."
