WASHINGTON (Oct. 26)
American Jews wondering where candidates stand on Jewish issues have a handful of tools available to them this election year.
Several Jewish groups have distributed voter guides to help educate Jewish voters about issues ranging from U.S.-Israel relations to the separation of church and state.
The guides, unlike the congressional "scorecards" distributed by the Christian Coalition and other advocacy groups that rate each candidate, do not suggest how voters should cast their ballots.
Indeed, Jewish groups, which are prohibited by federal law guiding tax-exempt organizations from advocating for the election or defeat of any candidate, attempt to remain scrupulously non-partisan. The guides, for the most part, simply attempt to lay out the issues from a Jewish viewpoint and provide voters with a compass with which to navigate through the electoral field.
The JAC Education Foundation publishes perhaps the best known guide in the Jewish community. During this election cycle, JAC has sent out some 75,000 guides to federations, synagogues and other Jewish organizations.
The JAC guide focuses the voting records of all incumbents, highlighting their votes on 11 measures in the House and seven in the Senate that the group considers of key concern to the Jewish community.
The House votes include a school voucher bill for the District of Columbia; a constitutional amendment that would have allowed for school prayer; a bill to deny reinstatement of food stamp benefits that were stripped from legal immigrants as part of the 1996 welfare overhaul; a bill sanctioning foreign companies providing missile technology to Iran; and various measures concerning abortion.
For Senate races, JAC highlighted a bill to sanction foreign companies providing missile technology to Iran; an attempt to limit food stamp eligibility for legal immigrants and refugees; a bill calling for tax breaks to support private or parochial education; and two measures concerning abortion.
The National Jewish Democratic Council, which is also constrained from advocating for any candidate's election or defeat, said it hopes to distribute nearly 250,000 voter guides in 10 states by Election Day.
Ira Forman, the group's executive director, said the guides are intended both to "stimulate voter turnout" and to "make sure our community knows what's at stake in this election."
The NJDC guide highlights selected candidates' records, both incumbents and challengers, on U.S.-Israel relations, abortion rights, environmental protections, gun control, the separation of church and state, immigrants' rights and funding for public education.
The group has targeted congressional as well as gubernatorial campaigns across the country, such as the New York Senate race between Republican incumbent Sen. Alfonse D'Amato and Rep. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), and California's gubernatorial race.
The Orthodox Union, for its part, has for the first time distributed an "election issues guide" to Orthodox synagogues and O.U. members around the country.
Nathan Diament, director of the O.U.'s Institute of Public Affairs, said the guides are intended to educate both voters and candidates about his group's core issues. But unlike the JAC and NJDC guides, the O.U.'s guide — as well as a similar guide published by the American Jewish Congress — leave it to voters to do their own research about where each candidate stands on those issues.
On the domestic front, it highlights its support for a school voucher bill for the District of Columbia; legislation to replace the now-defunct Religious Freedom Restoration Act which would make it harder for government to interfere with religious practice; expansion of "charitable choice," which would permit religiously affiliated institutions to compete with private secular programs for government grants to provide social services; and a bill known as the Hate Crimes Prevention Act that would increase penalties for crimes motivated by religious or ethnic bias.
In the international arena, it highlights its support for a recently enacted bill requiring the United States to release data gathered on Nazi war criminals; creation of a U.S. commission charged with studying Holocaust victims' assets in the United States; and Congress' recent passage of a bill aimed at fighting religious persecution abroad.
The AJCongress' guide, meanwhile, highlights its support for such issues as foreign aid to Israel, attempts to contain Iran, new protections for religious liberty and stronger hate crimes laws.
It cites its opposition to a constitutional amendment allowing for school prayer, school vouchers and other subsidies for religious education, and banning so-called partial-birth abortion procedures.

MONTREAL – For the past few weeks social media has been abuzz about a particular insect, that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
Giant flying ants have been reportedly found in people's food, hair and floating in swimming pools in and around the Island of Montreal.
So where did these bugs come from?
"During the summer, the winged ants leave the nest and take flight to mate," explained Entomologist, Marjolaine Giroux from the Montreal Insectarium.
"The males die soon after mating and future queens begin looking for an appropriate place to start a new colony."
In a nutshell, enormous numbers of flying ants take advantage of the hot weather to perform a ritual known as nuptial flight.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Meet the weather girls..Stormi and Misti ... These cuties were born in a rural shelter in Tennessee the week before Christmas. We were able to get Mom and pups to safety and now they are looking for their FORever homes. Mommy is a black lab mix. She is a smaller lab and weighs about 45 lbs. These pups are super cute and will have great temperaments. Because of their breed mix, they will likely enjoy the outdoors and enjoy active families. Any of these pups would surely brighten a gloomy day. If you would like to begin the application process for one of these babies, please let us know. They will go fast!
Misti, a Hagerstown Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Hagerstown, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Hagerstown.

Hi, I was wondering if primary keys are always needed. What I understand; - The value of a primary key is unique per table - Primary keys are unique and not null. I have a couple of tables. Some have a serial that is used as a foreign key in another table. Some tables consist of a combination of two foreign keys (that are unique together) and a field that is uniquely related to that combination (but is not necessarily unique within the table) Others have no unique field or combination at all For the tables that are only used in the foreign part of the relationship(s), is there an added value for user of a surrogate primary key, which will never be referenced. I did a lot of googling and found very varying opinions. Mainly: - Always use a primary key, no reason why, it's just 'better' - Use primary keys when it makes sense. How do I determine what 'sense' or 'better' mean? Thanks for all the feedback Regards, Serge Fonville -- http://www.sergefonville.nl Convince Google!!

A week after receiving a distinguished writing award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the journalists responsible for an LA Times series exposing the colossal corruption among the ranks of Bell city officials have earned another prestigious honor – the George Polk Award for local reporting.
Jeff Gottlieb, Ruben Vives and team of collaborators deserve each and every kudo received for their landmark bit of municipal investigating. It is a story that continues to reverberate, from the photo of administrator Robert "Ratso" Rizzo volunteering as a surfing museum parking lot attendant to a tearful (and highly unconvincing) mea culpa made last week on FOX 11 by former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia.
"This story connected with readers not just in Southern California, but across the nation," said Times Editor Russ Stanton. "It is about regular people who are struggling under a crippling recession while their elected representatives were living high on the hog. And our coverage reaffirms the value that a free press provides in a democratic society."
A hearty congrats to all involved.

GWEN IFILL: It's been four decades since a groundbreaking law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, IDEA, took effect. Today, it helps ensure that more than six million students with disabilities have the right to a free and appropriate public education.
But, in many places, it's been a struggle getting schools to comply with the law, and nearly 100 class-actions have been filed.
Special correspondent John Tulenko, with our partners at Education Week, follows the impact of one such case in California. That's part of our weekly Tuesday night look at education, Making the Grade.
JOHN TULENKO: Los Angeles, California, is the nation's second largest school system. And like other big cities across the country, it's been the site of a pitched legal battle over special education.
The story begins in the early 1990s with a student named Chanda Smith, who was dyslexic and by high school could barely read.
CHANDA SMITH: It's just like a bunch of words just scribbling on the paper, just everything just scribbling or just — it was very overwhelming. My mom told the teachers and everything. But after the third grade, I never got any help.
JOHN TULENKO: Now 39 and a mother of four, Chanda continues to struggle with a learning disability.
CHANDA SMITH: It's affected me a lot. It's hard for me to get a job. And I'm always having big worries, because I have to take care of my family. And it's kind of sad because, when I have to go up to my 10-year-old, "Can you read this for mommy?" You know, I have a grandson now. I want to be able to read him a story. And that's something that I can't do.
I feel like it's been taken away from me. For what reason? So, you know, it's really hard and emotional.
DAVID ROSTETTER, Independent Monitor, LA Unified School District: Chanda was lost. They hadn't identified her. They didn't know where her records were. And so they weren't providing adequate — adequate service to her. They were virtually providing no services to her.
JOHN TULENKO: Chanda's story was a familiar one to David Rostetter. He's a court-appointed monitor charged with ensuring schools in Los Angeles and elsewhere comply with special education laws.
DAVID ROSTETTER: I have had a lot of superintendents around the country, I will go to them and say, you know, this is really bad over here. I mean, this is a budding lawsuit and it's patently illegal. And their answer will actually be, literally be: "I will deal with it when we get sued about it. Thanks for your advice, Dave."
JOHN TULENKO: That was the case for Chanda Smith. Despite repeated requests for help, L.A. Unified did nothing until 1993, when Chanda's mother took action. A single case of neglect turned into a class-action lawsuit that exposed a woefully broken system.
Thousands of students were not identified or misidentified. Nearly one third of all special education teachers were unlicensed. And procedures for tracking student records were nonexistent. The lawsuit pushed Los Angeles into a settlement agreement, imposing federal court oversight until the problems could be fixed.
That was nearly 20 years ago.
WOMAN: Good morning to you.
JOHN TULENKO: Today, much has changed for the district's 80,000 students with special needs. Evaluations for services, for example, take less than 90 days.
Most special education teachers are certified. Academic performance for students with disabilities has improved, and the graduation rate is up, although it's still short of the rate for students with disabilities nationwide.
The biggest change, to Sharyn Howell, who directs special education services here, has been in people's attitudes.
SHARYN HOWELL, Special Education Director, LA Unified School District: I see a much different conversation than I used to see about our students. And it really is about people wanting them to perform academically and having expectations for them.
What we have been working on for a number of years is to convince people that students with disabilities are all of our responsibility. They don't belong to the Division of Special Education.
JOHN TULENKO: Most simply need extra help and are already in regular classrooms. Those with greater needs are just beginning to make the transition.
In the last three years, the district's been moving these students from 18 special education centers into neighborhood schools like Grand View Elementary.
ALFREDO ORTIZ, Principal, Grand View Boulevard Elementary: What used to be two separate communities, now we have become one community, an integrated community.
JOHN TULENKO: Principal Alfredo Ortiz has managed an influx of new students from the school next door.
ALFREDO ORTIZ: We have McBride, which is a special education center.
JOHN TULENKO: McBride was one of the schools exclusively for students with disabilities. It was separated by a chain-link fence.
ALFREDO ORTIZ: And, as you can tell, the fence has come down. So now we're one campus.
JOHN TULENKO: Eighty-nine students from McBride and other schools moved into Grand View, increasing its special education population by 50 percent.
Most of the new students spend the majority of their day in classes like Maria Ventura's. She teaches eight students on the autism spectrum. To help develop their social skills, every morning, she invites kindergartners to her classroom for a shared lesson.
MARIA VENTURA, Special Education Teacher: This is circle time. As a kindergarten teacher, I used to do that. And so when becoming special ed, I collaborated with another kinder teacher and said, you know what, bring me your kids, so that my kids can use them as a model.
Now you can't even tell the difference between my kids and the gen-ed kids, because they have learned by watching their peers, oh, this is how I need to sit in a class.
JOHN TULENKO: Looking around the room, I noticed that nearly half the students with autism weren't participating.
You're bringing them together, but maybe they're still staying apart.
MARIA VENTURA: Well, I can't force it on them. It's basically their demeanor and how they do it. For example, Sean and Austin and Marigold, they're much more open to change. Depending on David's temperament, if he's not having a good day, I don't want to force it. We slowly bring them in when they're ready, because, if we rush them, then it actually goes against what we're trying to do. We wanted to make a good experience for them.
JOHN TULENKO: Right.
MARIA VENTURA: Yes.
JOHN TULENKO: So it takes time.
MARIA VENTURA: Exactly. It does take time.
JOHN TULENKO: However, Grand View's elective classes are fully integrated, including physical education, gardening and cooking. All this has been a huge transition for teachers.
ROSALIND BERGSTROM, Kindergarten Teacher: To meet everyone's need, you know, it is — it's a lot of work. But we have a physical therapist, occupational therapist, speech therapist. And I work with the resource teacher to meet their needs.
JOHN TULENKO: But it seemed some teachers were having to spend most of their time focusing on the students with disabilities.
DAVID ROSTETTER: Yes, there are kids who demand extraordinary instructional time. And one of the problems that L.A. is experiencing is a lot of these regular education teachers and special education teachers are just learning how you do integration.
JOHN TULENKO: It's still a work in progress, but principal Ortiz says he's seeing the benefits.
ALFREDO ORTIZ: It's amazing how the kids, their interactions have evolved. If a child needs help, we have gen-ed kids who say, hey I will take you, I will go with you. It's creating leadership.
JOHN TULENKO: Seeing all these children playing together was undeniably unique.
I have never seen anything like that.
DAVID ROSTETTER: That is a fundamental statement. You never saw anything like that because you didn't grow up and go to a school where that occurred. Socially, people with disabilities, particularly people with physical disabilities have been erased from our environment.
And so now these kids are going to grow up with each other. And they're going to make friends with each other. And, hopefully, we will end up with a group of kids as they go into middle school and high school expect to be with each other.
JOHN TULENKO: But not everyone's happy with the changes.
Brandon, can tell me whether you understand me?
Brandon Buschini is one of the few students still attending dedicated special education centers. His mother is fighting any plans to move him.
LINDA HILTON, Brandon Buschini's Mother: The district tells parents that this is still a gift for their child and that they should be included, and that this is — socializing them is important. And they really hang their hat on that, vs. educating them and providing what they really need.
JOHN TULENKO: In our next report, fears about including students with the greatest needs and the unfinished business of fixing special education in Los Angeles.
I'm John Tulenko of Education Week, reporting for the "PBS NewsHour."

President Obama said that Obamacare is cheaper than a cell phone bill. Now he's saying that "…if you looked at their cable bill, their telephone, their cell phone bill… it may turn out that, it's just they haven't prioritized health care." So, in his mind, people aren't making the right choices. They should choose a crappy Obamacare plan over a cell phone or cable.
The same thing goes with keeping your doctor. He admitted during a Web MD interview that Americans are "going to have to make some choices, and they might end up having to switch doctors in part because they're saving money."
Of course, that's not what he was saying in 2009. "If you like your doctor or health care plan you can keep it."
In short, he lies.
Update: The NRCC created a fun little diagnostic tool help Obama and Pelosi find out what is wrong with their political future. Heh!

text: Editorial: Decapitation February 8, 1999 Story Share OF the three "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" monkeys, state Environmental Protection Director Michael Miano apparently is the one with his hands covering his eyes."Empirically, I can look at the reclamation sites and see there aren't any problems. I can see that with my eyes," Miano said after Delegate Mary Pearl Compton, D-Monroe, asked why his office issues mountaintop removal permits without knowing the environmental harm of the decapitation and valley fills.Miano must have amazing eyes. Can they peer microscopically into the artificial topsoil that companies use to replace what they've buried? Can they see what fracturing rock strata does to the groundwater system?We imagine Miano's eyes can't see past the seeds "hydrosprayed" onto the bare soil with enough fertilizer to guarantee growth in the harshest conditions.We know Miano can't look into the water that percolates out of the valley fills and judge its quality. Miano went on to tell the House Finance Committee: "There has been Ö no environmental damage that has been documented, no water quality problems that we have been aware of."Perhaps that's because his Division of Environmental Protection has undertaken no comprehensive studies of what the disruption of streams does to plant and animal life. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service warned that reclaimed sites do not support as much biological diversity as natural forested mountains and valleys.The DEP has no idea what burying hundreds of miles of streams is doing to the overall water quality of West Virginia, even though it is charged by the 1977 federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act to determine the "cumulative hydrological impact" of reclamation before issuing a single permit. Miano wants to exempt permits that are already in the pipeline from a requirement for environmental impact statements agreed to in a recent lawsuit settlement between coalfield residents, the DEP and federal regulatory agencies.There's no good reason to exempt any permit that hasn't been issued. Miano can't come up with any justification for approving the half-completed permits - other than saying that mountaintop removal has been occurring for 25 years, and can't cause much more damage in the next two years.But mountaintop removal has not been conducted on its current mammoth scale for 25 years. Early permits were much smaller, and had smaller valley fills. Permits now in process are for thousands of acres with huge fills. Besides, despite Miano's statements, no one really knows the environmental damage caused by 25 years of cutting off mountaintops. Two more years of unimpeded decapitation could send the state over the edge and devastate water quality.A comprehensive study should have been completed years ago, before huge permits were issued. Now that the study is finally being undertaken, no permit should be "grandfathered in."House Speaker Bob Kiss, D-Raleigh, said he wants this study completed because he's "tired of arguing anecdotes; I'd rather argue science." Federal law is clear that the science should have been determined before any permits were issued.If Kiss means what he says, he'll support a moratorium on permits until the science is in.Miano may see no evil in current mountaintop removal practices. But, frankly, we don't trust his vision.

Dread Dugger
b.1780/1781 Dinwiddie, Virginia, United States
d.7 Oct 1856 Gallatin, Illinois, United States
Family tree▼
m. 4 Nov 1771
m. 1800/1804
Facts and Events
Dread Dugger was born ca 1780/81 per his age of 69 on the 1850 census. That same record shows he was born in Virginia. If he is the son of John Dugger Surry as thought, then he was probably born in Dinwiddie Co., VA or perhaps in Brunswick Co., VA.
Some list his name as "Eldread" or "Eldred" Dugger, but his name never appears that way on any public records that have been found so far.
He isn't a proven child of John Dugger, Surry and Frances Dugger, but he did go to Sumner Co., TN when they did, and that seems to tie them together.
Dread Dugger married Millie Bruce before ca 1804 in Sumner Co., TN. (What is the proof of her maiden name?)
"Dred Duger" was listed on the 1809 Sumner Co., TN tax list.
Dread Dugger served in the War of 1812 in Col. John Coffee's Company under Captain Bym. (More details are needed on this subject.)
Dread Dugger was listed on the 1816 through 1820 tax lists in Sumner Co., TN. His name was spelled "Dred" on most of those.
Dread is listed on the 1820 census in Sumner Co., TN near his presumed brother James Dugger.
They were still in Sumner for the 1830 census.
They moved to Gallatin Co., IL in the 1830's.
Dread is listed on the 1840 census in Gallatin near his presumed sons Allen, Doctor, Harrison and Wylie Dugger.
They were still in Gallatin for the 1850 census.
Dread Dugger died 7 Oct 1856 (source?) in Gallatin Co., IL.

As part of its ongoing collaboration with the National Security Archive (NSA), database publisher ProQuest invited NSA Executive Director Tom Blanton to keynote its customer luncheon at the 2014 ALA Annual Conference.
The NSA is a research institute, library, and publisher of declassified documentation based at George Washington University. Since 1985, it has uncovered through Freedom of Information Act requests hundreds of thousands of pages of US government documents related to history, politics, and international relations. ProQuest's Digital National Security Archive makes this enormous trove of primary documents accessible through deep indexing and metadata curation.
An ALA member since 1987, Blanton said that the joint effort by the NSA and ProQuest to make these documents accessible "goes right to the heart of ALA's mission to inform everyone about privacy issues. It should be our mantra: What happens in our users' computers stays in our users' computers."
Blanton said that the revelations by whistleblower Edward Snowden were a "catalytic force" that created a race by US security agencies to declassify documents before Snowden's own schedule of timed release caught up to them. Items that the NSA had been pursuing for years suddenly were cleared by the agencies themselves.
One document that has just been released on June 27 through a FOIA request was a 2013 report by the director of national intelligence on the actual numbers of wiretap orders, National Security Letters, FISA court proceedings, and other uses of the national security authority. The report, which under normal circumstances would not have been declassified until the end of 2039, "clearly shows the astounding breadth of surveillance and that the National Security Agency has been talking past the public and its oversight agencies, Congress and the Supreme Court."
Blanton quoted Vietnam Era whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg as saying that the Snowden leaks were more important than the Pentagon Papers because the government has committed to end, or at least to modify, its mass surveillance techniques. "It's a good thing for us," Blanton said. "The Snowden revelations make the National Security Archive look centrist."
He said the usual question he gets, especially from Fox News reporters, is: "Edward Snowden: hero or traitor?" "The real answer," he quipped, "is Edward Snowden: Source."

Hello, i am 2 years and 2 months gone since my minor (closed) revision. At this point would i be able to tell if i have any major deformities which would need revision? I have heard some surgeins saying that even 5 years on the nose will keep changing.but that does not mean that deformities may come along this long after surgery does it? That really scared me
At 2 Years Post Revision, Would I Be Able to Tell Clearly if I Need a Revision or Not?
Doctor Answers 3
2 years after revision
In general, the final result of rhinoplasty is not evident for 18-24 months following surgery. 70% of the swelling is resolved after the first 3 months, and the remainder goes down over time. Swelling can be influenced by the following: thickness of the patient's skin, whether the procedure was a revision, whether tip work was performed, and whether the procedure was open or closed. At 26 months post-op, you should have a good idea of your final result. Issues down the road are usually due to inadequate structural support and/or a poorly performed procedure. If you are happy with your nose at this point, enjoy the result. Your surgeon will be able to answer any questions you have about the long-term result of your surgery. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

Rhinoplasty at two years
By two years you should see the deformities that you would expect after rhinoplasty. Good luck.
After one year there should be no significant change in the final results. However we continue to age and we will see the changes of aging as time goes.

Good thing about the vinyl stripes, is they're fairly easy to remove and replace with another color if you change your mind.
I was one of those "I buy a $55K car and you put VINYL stripes on it?" kind'a guys at first too.
Then I saw what people are paying/getting to paint a pair of stripes on their cars.
And like you, realized I can change them (color, style, etc) fairly easily.
I want to put a white Super Snake style stripe on my car and if they were painted on, that would be too costly to do.
As it stands now, *I* myself can remove the OE stripes and install the SS stripes, and on the cheap (reletively speaking).

Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness
The Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness is a 3,450-acre (14.0 km2) listed wilderness area within the Manistee National Forest. It is located north of Ludington, Michigan, and is best known for its 4 miles (6.4 km) of undeveloped Lake Michigan shoreline.
The lake levels of the upper Great Lakes have fluctuated sharply over the past 4,000 years, with a temporary high-water mark, the Nipssing stage, achieved about 3,500 years before the present. During the Nipissing stage, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan were interconnected as they are today, but the two lakes brimmed over with fresh water 605 feet (184 m) above sea level. As the lakes fell back toward their current level of 580 feet (177 m) above sea level, large quantities of sand were exposed. Subsequent work by lake-effect winds shaped this exposed sand into sand dunes.
The Lake Michigan sand-dune shoreline around Big Sable Point was reshaped into the Big Sable Dunes complex, a 6,270-acre (25.4 km²) area of sandy hills, dunal moraines, shallow lakes, and associated plant and animal life. The dunes reach heights of 140 feet (42 m) above lake level.
The Nordhouse Dunes form the northern half of the preserved section of the Big Sable Dunes complex. The southern 2,820 acres (11.4 km²) are contained within Michigan's Ludington State Park.
The older Nordhouse Dunes, farther away from Lake Michigan, have had time for the process of plant succession to produce a forest ecosystem. The local climate supports beech, sugar maple, red oak, and white oak trees, mixed with a thin sprinkling of evergreens such as the red pine and Michigan's state tree, the white pine.
Active dune areas closer to the lake are dotted with early-succession plants and trees such as the juniper bush and the jack pine. Of special interest is one of the two largest known remaining populations of the Pitcher's thistle, a threatened species listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 3,100 Nordhouse thistle plants of this species were inventoried in a 1991 counting exercise.
In animal life, the primary browser is the familiar whitetail deer, mixed with typical examples of Michigan small game such as the coyote, fox, porcupine, and raccoon.
Nordhouse Dunes today[edit]
After northwestern Michigan was heavily logged in the 19th century and early 20th century, the U.S. Congress re-designated much of the cutover land as the Manistee National Forest in 1938. Congress listed the Nordhouse Dunes as a wilderness in 1987.
As a wilderness, the Nordhouse Dunes is not penetrated by road. Two parking lots, Lake Michigan Recreation Area on the wilderness's northern edge and Nurnberg Road at its southeastern corner, provide space for persons seeking to hike into the wilderness itself. While the wilderness nominally enjoys free admission, drivers of vehicles using the parking lots are requested to purchase a vehicle pass for display on the windshield of the vehicle.
Both parking lots are located relatively close to U.S. Highway 31, the primary road serving the Lake Michigan shoreline north of Ludington.

BAGHDAD — Influential religious leaders across Iraq are voicing reservations about a U.S.-Iraq security agreement that allows Americans to remain in the country for another three years.
Some are cautious in their criticisms. Others — ones who generally are tied to political parties that fought the pact — forcefully condemn the treaty.
Their comments filtered in Saturday as Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki met with U.S. Ambassador Ryan Crocker and Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of multinational forces in Iraq, to plan for the treaty's implementation.
The security pact, which sets a Dec. 31, 2011, deadline for the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq, passed Parliament on Thursday and entails some major changes in authority between U.S. and Iraqi officials.
One clause would require the United States to consult with Iraqis before conducting military operations. Another paves the way for the release of some 16,000 detainees in U.S. custody. Another would have the United States turn over its control of the International Zone in central Baghdad to Iraqi leaders.
Religious leaders, however, appear generally skeptical that the pact will return sovereignty, while hard-line clerics oppose the whole idea of Iraq's negotiating with the United States over its independence.
A representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the nation's leading Shiite cleric, suggested the 149-35 vote of approval in Iraq's Parliament wasn't broad enough to demonstrate national consensus.
Ahmad al-Safi al-Najafi, speaking on behalf of Sistani, said the agreement, which takes effect Jan. 1, wouldn't ensure Iraqi sovereignty.
He said Iraqis would have a chance to make their opinions known when the pact goes before voters as a national referendum in July.
That was one of the compromises the ruling Shiite government made to build a broader majority for the agreement. Sunni parties insisted that all Iraqis should vote on the pact.
"The majority of Parliament voted for the (agreement), but more than a few people in Parliament rejected it," Najafi was quoted in a Baghdad newspaper as saying at Friday prayers.
Anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr harshly condemned the pact as an infringement on Iraqi sovereignty. Thirty members of Parliament in the Sadr party voted unanimously against the deal. Sadr's representatives now say they'll shut their offices across the country for three days of "mourning."
"We pay our condolences to the Iraqi people for the vote for the pact of humiliation and disgrace in the catastrophe of black Thursday," said Sheik Muhanad al-Gharawi, a Sadr delegate.
Ayatollah Muhammad al-Yacoubi on Saturday joined Sadr in rejecting the pact. Yacoubi is close to the Fadilah party, which refused to vote on the security agreement in Parliament.

Research. Service. Training.
CGBI was established in 2006 in the Department of Maternal and Child Health of the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and serves as the first such Public Health Breastfeeding Center of its kind. Situated in an academic home, we offer a comprehensive program of research, service to the greater community, and education.
CGBI furthers statewide, national, and global health through increased understanding and support for breastfeeding, with attention to associated child survival, growth and development, and maternal reproductive health and survival. Our activities seek to promote increased quality of care and create an optimal breastfeeding norm.
Our comprehensive approach prioritizes the "Three B's" (Birth, Breastfeeding, Birthspacing) and includes attention to local, national and global health services, community support, legal protection, economic assessment, emergency settings, and concurrent issues, such as HIV/AIDS, that impact the mother and child dyad.
Optimal infant and young child feeding and care:
Early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding for six months, continued breastfeeding with age-appropriate, responsive complementary feeding for up to 2 years of age or longer, and support for women and mothers in optimal birth practices and birth spacing to enhance their ability to survive to survive, remain healthy, be adequately nourished and socially supported and protected.
The comprehensive approach taken by the Institute includes attention to health services, community, networks, legal protection, economic assessment, emergency settings, and concurrent issues, such as HIV/AIDS, that impact on the mother/child dyad. As a result, the varied disciplines that comprise Public Health – medical and health, legal and regulatory, business and marketing, heath system administration, social support systems and the environment, and community mobilization and family and maternal behavior change – will be considered in research, service and policy activities.
The Institute and its Associates respect and support the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and subsequent World Health Assembly resolutions, The Golden Bow Initiative, The WABA Physician's Pledge, the Baby-friendly Hospital Initiative, other aspects of the 1990 and 2005 Innocenti Declarations, the EU, US and NC Blueprints for Action on Breastfeeding, the WHO/UNICEF Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, and the Surgeon General's Call to Action to Support Breastfeeding.
The institute will seek funds for research, service and policy development and training for state, national and global policy and program improvement and behavior change, with the mother/child dyad as the unit of study. The UNC/Chapel Hill School of Public Health is an ideal setting for this activity, nationally and internationally recognized for the quality in research, service and training.

My S260 had two puff back/explosions last night; with, the second one being HUGE! The explosion scared the hell out of me, my wife, and my three kids. Going down to the basement after what sounded like two shotgun blasts, I found my boiler room full of soot, smoke, and CO. The explosion (probably the second one...) blew the sight tube cover across the room; and, my type M baro right out of it's receptacle. Luckly I was able to put the type M back together (it was blown out of it's "tee" across the room); and, got it working properly again.
I had a few small puff backs with the S130; but, nothing like this. I realize unburned coal gas volitiles cause this problem; but, how can I prevent this from happening again? A small puff back in one thing; but, this was crazy.
My flue arrangement is exactly like the one depicted in the CoalGun manual page 5. Figure 1. with the horizontal runs, tee connections, and type M baro. Luckly I have 3 to 4 screws and high temperature tape holding every exhaust pipe seam together.
I have excellent draft of 0.04 to 0.06" of water as measured in real-time with my Dwyer Mark II manometer; with, the type M baro keeping draft steady. NOTE: I just cleaned/vacuumed the horizontal run last Monday, 10/10.
Could the root cause of the explosion be the sight tube cover being out of adjustment; i.e. not opening fully after the fan stopped running? BTW: I have the little rotary door "open" allowing 100% air flow to the coal bed. With the S130, this minimized small puff backs I was experiencing. Should the rotary door be kept 100% open; or, do I need to play with this adjustment too?
I've been running/boiling since Saturday 7/30; and, I've probably burned about 3 tons of coal. Do I need to pull the fan assembly and clean out the cyclone funnel and swirl chamber?

Listen to Canadiens singing 'Let It Go,' if you dare
The Canadiens are a very good hockey team, sitting atop the Eastern conference with 41 points through 30 games this season. They are much less impressive when taken off the ice and put into a recording booth.
To get fans ready for winter, Le Habs players recorded their own version of the smash hit Let It Go from Disney's Frozen, and it will make you yearn for the warmth of summer.

Although it does not match up to the Idina Manzel-sung original version, the players should be credited for giving it their best shot.

California voted in November to become the world capital of stem cell research. On Wednesday, the city of San Diego and a handful of rivals will make their bid to become California's capital of this new technology.
The prize is hosting the headquarters of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, a state agency created with November's passage of Proposition 71. The institute will grant $3 billion over 10 years to fund research into using stem cells to cure diseases. Proposals to host the institute must be submitted by 5.p.m. Wednesday.
In return for being chosen, the institute is asking for a number of benefits to help it get off the ground quickly, such as a free or low-cost lease of office space for 10 years. Other requirements include being located within 45 minutes of an international airport and within one quarter-mile of public transportation. These are "minimum requirements," the institute stated, implying perks beyond the minimum would influence its decision.
Scientific merit is to govern the grant awards, so the institute's physical location supposedly shouldn't matter. However, San Diego's large biotechnology industry would inevitably benefit from the publicity and prestige if chosen to host the headquarters, said Joe Panetta, Biocom's chief executive.
"The effort to bring this facility to San Diego is not just specific to the funding of stem cell research," Panetta said. "It's potentially going to be another really attractive point about San Diego as a biotech center in its entire sense … in continuing to position San Diego as a center for innovation."
On merit, San Diego deserves strong consideration, Panetta said, pointing to its large biomedical research presence, including a top-ranked stem cell research program at the Burnham Institute in La Jolla. That program, numbering about 100 researchers, is headed by Evan Snyder, regarded by the scientific community as one of the nation's top stem cell scientists. John C. Reed, the Burnham Institute's director and chief executive, is on the 29-member committee that governs the institute
San Diego's effort is being coordinated by the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp. Other participants include UCSD's Connect technology program; Biocom, a San Diego-based biotech trade group, and a number of biotechnology companies.
"There will be a lot of cachet to having the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine," said Julie Meier Wright, chief executive of the San Diego Regional EDC. "All their news will be datelined San Diego."
Tough competition
Technically, the proposal is being submitted by the City of San Diego because the submission must be made by "governmental entities" such as cities and counties, along with a building owner. Other proposals are expected from the city of Emeryville, where the institute is now temporarily housed, San Francisco, San Jose and Sacramento.
San Francisco got a PR setback last week, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, when Mayor Gavin Newsom boycotted a March 7 luncheon featuring Robert Klein, the stem cell institute's powerful chairman. Klein, a real estate developer, largely bankrolled Prop. 71. Klein has a son with juvenile diabetes, one of the diseases targeted by stem cell research.
The reason for the boycott was politics, wrote Chronicle political columnists Philip Matier and Andrew Ross: The luncheon was held at a hotel that locked out employees during a recent labor dispute. Matier and Ross referred to San Diego as San Francisco's "toughest competitor."
Despite that flap, Panetta and Wright said they know Bay Area locations will be tough to beat because the region has a larger biotech establishment, even though it's spread out over several counties. For that reason, they're being tight-lipped about what San Diego is going to offer beyond fulfilling the minimum requirements.
San Diego's proposal will probably be worked and reworked right up until it's submitted Wednesday, Wright said. Proposals must be delivered to the institute in printed form, with 10 copies.
Panetta turned down a nomination to join the Independent Citizens' Oversight Committee, the 29-member group that governs the institute. Panetta said he wanted to be free to lobby for San Diego, which would not have been possible if he had been on the committee due conflict of interest restrictions. That gesture can be interpreted either as a measure of Panetta's commitment to the task, or his understanding of its difficulty —— or perhaps both.
The institute's timetable is tight. Its site search subcommittee is scheduled to decide on the first choice and runner-up (in case the first choice proves unworkable) April 22. On May 6, the entire committee is to vote on the choices. The building lease is to be completed from 30 to 90 days from May 20.
Biotech prominence
Coincidentally, biotech leaders from San Diego and the rest of California will be in Sacramento on Wednesday for another biotech-related event: Annual Life Sciences Day. Biotech executives, researchers, venture capitalists and other advocates will meet with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state legislators to urge the state to adopt more pro-biotech policies. More information is available at www.lifesciencesday.org.
In the last decade, San Diego has catapulted in the last decade to biotech's top tier, considered to be in the same league as the San Francisco Bay Area and the Boston-Cambridge area. In 2004, the Milken Institute ranked the city of San Diego first in biotech, as measured by such factors as the number of companies, employees and innovation.
A secondary biotech hub has formed in Carlsbad, employing thousands of people. About 1,000 of those work in Carlsbad for Invitrogen Corp. Invitrogen is on the team supporting San Diego's proposal, said spokesman Greg Geissman.
However, Invitrogen will support the institute "wherever it lands," Geissman said, because the company makes products that allow scientists to perform stem cell research.
Keep the public informed
No matter which location is chosen, the institute needs to act rapidly to fund quality research and make sure the public understands what's going on, said David Gollaher, president and chief executive of the California Healthcare Institute, a San Diego-based public policy group that promotes the interests of life science companies.
"I think the first year is a critical time to establish its identity, its integrity, its credibility," Gollaher said. "One of the real risks is that this institute in fact could make major contributions to science that would not be well understood by the public. "It could view the institute as a failure when in fact it is remarkably successful."

Most people recognize Feb. 14, as Valentine's Day, but it's also the day Major League Baseball's pitchers and catchers begin reporting for Spring Training this year. I start the countdown to this day as soon as the last out is made in the World Series.
Cost per recipe $0.50 view details
- 1 box Duncan Hines Red Velvet cake mix
- 1 box Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix
- 2 containers vanilla icing
- 1 container white icing
- 2 Wilton disposable decorating bags
- Decorating tips 4, 16, 21 and 66
- Wilton red icing coloring (you can use regular food dye)
- large heart-shaped pan
- Wilton sports ball pan set
- Prepare the red velvet cake mix as directed on the box, following the cooking time for 13x9 pan size. Pour into the large heart-shaped pan, and bake.
- Prepare the devil's food cake mix as directed, and pour about half the batter into only one of the balls in the Wilton sports ball pan set. (use the other half for Valentine's Day cupcakes) Follow the directions on the Wilton sports ball pan set for cooking. (Lower the heat to 325 degrees and bake for 35-40 minutes)
- Let both cakes cool completely on a cookie sheet before starting to decorate.
- Dye both containers of vanilla frosting pink (you could do it red, but for me, it looked to much like a Boston Red Sox cake, and I'm a Yankees fan, so that wasn't happening)
- Once you reach your desired color scoop the icing into a bag that has tip number 21 on it. I used a larger tip for the heart and a smaller tip for the baseball to give it some depth.
- Start decorating the heart with the sides first and then the top. Before you get too far with the top, prepare the ball by cutting off any excess cake that would prevent it from sitting flat. Spread a thin coat of icing on the flat part and place in the center of the heart cake.
- When decorating near the ball go as close as you can without actually getting the frosting on the cake.
- Fill another bag with white icing and using tip 16 decorate the ball.
- Using the bag with pink icing and tip number 4, create baseball-like curved lines - small ones at the top and bottom and one large one. Switch over to tip 66 to make the baseball threads, spacing them evenly apart.

Where Robert F. Kennedy was shot
The Ambassador Hotel, where Hollywood stars once mingled and Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated, may soon be partly razed to make way for a new school under a plan that would save some of the hotel's more notable features.
Los Angeles schools Supt. Roy Romer has chosen a $318.2 million (U.S.) plan that would raze most of the structure but maintain portions of the historic ballroom where Kennedy gave his last speech in 1968.
The Coconut Grove nightclub, which hosted some of Hollywood's brightest stars, would be restored and used as the school's main auditorium. The ballroom would be relocated to a library on another part of the property.
Bungalows that once housed F. Scott Fitzgerald, Rudolph Valentino and Albert Einstein would be razed, along with the hotel's red-carpeted lobby.
The plan, devised after years of contentious debate, is a compromise intended to meet the Los Angeles Unified School District's need for space while appeasing preservation groups seeking to maintain the site's historic heritage.
"This is a good compromise," Romer said last week.
"It incorporates the values that we feel are essential and tries to preserve historic aspects, but it enables us to make a workable school community."
The 83-year-old luxury hotel's appearance from bustling Wilshire Boulevard would be maintained by a new facade designed to resemble the look of the historic six-storey building.
The plan was formally unveiled this week.
If the plan is approved later this year, the kindergarten- through-third-grade portion of the school could open in 2008.
The proposal is already generating criticism from those who favour preserving the site.
Ken Bernstein, director of preservation issues for the Los Angeles Conservancy, called it "an amputation of the Ambassador."

By MATT HOPF
Herald-Whig Staff Writer
The city of Quincy is looking at about $2.7 million in road and sidewalk projects this summer, including one that has been in the design stages for nearly three years.
The riverfront connector trail project between Edgewater and Clat Adams parks that has been in the planning stages since 2010 is expected to move forward, City Engineer Jeff Steinkamp said.
The project includes an 8-foot-wide pedestrian trail and bike path, security fencing along the water treatment plant, landscaping and lighting, and additional parking at Clat Adams Park. A new paved entrance also will be built for Edgewater Park and the Northside Boat Club over the railroad tracks along Front Street.
The city received a $262,000 grant through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program and a $245,000 grant through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to help fund the project. The city is committing $122,293 in TIF money.
The city will do about two miles of asphalt resurfacing with money it receives through the motor fuel tax. Steinkamp said the city also will look at a crack-and-seal program would cover about 200 blocks, and may look at a chip-and-seal program for some streets.
"We have a five-year project plan that I have hanging on my wall, and we work our way down the list," Steinkamp said.
One of the larger projects ready is the resurfacing of South 21st Street between State and Jefferson, which is expected to take two years. "We want to get the sewer back in shape and then overlay that area," Steinkamp said.
The city is also reconstructing Van Buren between 15th and 16th streets to help with drainage issues and move forward with a Safe Routes to School project by St. Dominic Catholic School on Columbus Road.
Steinkamp said there will be curbs, gutter and sidewalk work along with some street resurfacing to make the area safer for students to walk to school.
Work on the North 12th Street sidewalk project will also be done. The project will feed into the Cedar Creek Trail, but the decision on how far build the sidewalks is unknown.
The first phase calls for adding an eight-foot-wide sidewalk from Cedar Creek to Westwood Drive. The second phase would be a five-foot-wide path from Westwood to Windsor Drive, and the third phase would extend the trail north to Koch's Lane.
Last year, the estimated cost for the project between the trail and Westwood Drive was $390,000, although that was considered high. This will be paid with $160,000 from 1st Ward funds, $90,000 from the city enhancement fund, $65,000 from the city's capital fund and $75,000 from the Quincy Park District.
The city is also looking to install vehicle traffic cameras at Eighth and Broadway and new traffic controller units at various intersections through the city. Parking Lot K, on the northeast corner of Sixth and Jersey, is also expected to be completed this summer.

Adams County is looking at more than $2 million in construction work this year, with some other potential projects on the horizon.
County Engineer Jim Frankenhoff said the county is looking at repaving Wismann Lane between 24th and 30th streets, 54th Street between Broadway and State, and widening and recycling the existing road three miles east of Golden. The county also plans to put a new bridge deck on County Highway 7 bridge two mile west of Ursa.
"We may have a bridge project later this year," Frankenhoff said. "We may have a culvert extension this year, but everything right now is hanging. Most of that is general maintenance.

Once again, I can't seem to keep my social media feeds straight! Back at Imbolc, I did my usual three card reading for the energies we needed to be aware of as we move from one seasonal marker to the other. This time, I did the reading for my Youtube Channel. Yes, I've been spending a bit more time there, more on that in a bit.
Below is the full reading done with dowsing rods. This reading picks up where the Winter Solstice to Imbolc reading left off, which is coming out of the murky, misty and confusing feel of the Moon card. However, the energy ramping towards the Full Moon is extremely positive. Give it a look and listen and let me know your thoughts!
More soon!
