Jamie Foxx In New ANNIE Movie Promotional Social Media Image
More colorful new social media images have been released this month to promote the forthcoming big screen edition of beloved family-friendly musical ANNIE and are now available to view in anticipation of the film's December release.
Stars Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne and more can be seen in the colorful new promos available on the movie's official Instagram account and a new shot of Jamie Foxx can now be glimpsed, as well.
Follow ANNIE on Instagram here.
ANNIE is directed by Will Gluck from a script by Emma Thompson and Aline Brosh McKenna, starring Quvenzhane Wallis as Annie, Jamie Foxx as Benjamin Stacks (aka Daddy Warbucks), Cameron Diaz as Miss Hannigan along with Rose Byrne as Grace Farrell and Bobby Cannavale in a new role.
The starry roster of producers for the film include Will Smith and Jay Z, who also serves as music supervisor. Jay Z famously had a Top Ten hit with a rap version of the show's famous orphan theme "It's A Hard Knock Life" called "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)".
The film is an all-new, modern-day adaptation of the stage musical, set in contemporary New York City, featuring numerous departures from the stage musical and subsequent film adaptations. Of note, the property was previously first filmed by famed director John Huston in 1982, starring Aileen Quinn as Annie and Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks, as well as lensed by CHICAGO helmer Rob Marshall in 1999, starring Alicia Morton and Victor Garber.
The original stage musical of ANNIE was based on Harold Gray's 1924 comic strip LITTLE ORPHAN ANNIE and was directed by Martin Charnin, featuring music by Charles Strouse, lyrics by Charnin and a book by Thomas Meehan. Subsequently, the musical has been revived on Broadway twice, with the most recent revival playing at the Palace Theatre, directed by James Lapine and starring Lilla Crawford in the title role.
The big screen remake of ANNIE is set to be released on Christmas Day, 2014.

Peters Township gets a Little Free Library
On Old Washington Road, near the Valley Brook intersection, but thanks to the construction project, detoured a few extra miles, is a library. It's of modest size, holding nearly 40 books, and you don't need a library card to check them out. Rather, just your word, and another book to replace it with. It's not a branch of the Peters Township Public Library – it's one of the 10,000 world-wide Little Free Libraries that are popping up all over.
The book exchange concept originated back in 2009, after a Wisconsin man named Todd Bol decided to honor his late mother, a former school teacher and avid reader, by building the first Little Free Library. His friend, Rick Brooks joined the project, and their goal was to have 2,500 built, the same number of Libraries that Andrew Carnegie built. Fast forward to 2014, and there are more than 10,000 – and that number is growing every day.
It's growing so much, that Mark Mamros, whose own Little Free Library sits at 838 Old Washington Road, has to wait several weeks before his is placed on the map on the little free library's website, because they are so back-logged.
"I don't think anybody knows it's here yet, for a couple of reasons. One, we are kind of on a busy street and with the construction we're a cul-de-sac. Although, a lot of people walk past here on the way to the (Montour) trail," Mamros said. "We did go through all the steps to officially register. I think once we are on the map, people will start coming by."
According to the map on littlefreelibrary.org, there are 87 Little Free Libraries in Pennsylvania, and only two in Washington County – the one belonging to Mamros and one at 1245 Park Ave. in Washington.
The Mamros family, including Mark's wife, Rita, and two children – Lizzy, a rising senior at Peters Township High School; and Matt, who just completed his freshman year at Robert Morris University – all had a hand in the project. Lizzy will act as the "steward," which is Little Free Library speak for "librarian."
Mamros' Little Free Library boasts about 40 books of all age levels and genres, and the inventory will be in a constant state of flux as people use the library.
"I'm hoping that people will be aware of the movement. I think the goals are very noble – the sense of community and promoting reading," Mamros said. "Those are very special ideals, and I'd like to see more Little Free Libraries pop up."
Other area Little Free Libraries include 5300 Becky Drive in Baldwin and 34 Linda Drive in Dormont.

The San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat will play for all the marbles tonight as they will face off in Game Seven of the NBA Finals.
However, the Spurs blew a great shot at clinching the NBA Finals in Game 6 as they squandered a five-point lead in the waning moments of Game Six in the fourth quarter. Miami then forced overtime and the Heat ended up winning thus forcing a Game Seven.
Tony Parker spoke to the media and flat out said the Spurs will be ready for tonight's clash including how the team got over the heartbreaking loss and is not worried about the team bouncing back.

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) want to dismantle the program. Amash is calling for the resignation of James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, who when asked in a Senate hearing earlier this month if the government is amassing records said, "No." Paul has filed a lawsuit seeking to end the program.
Among "a lot of the new members, those who describe themselves as conservatives, they have a much more libertarian streak and, I think on these type of issues, they're very sensitive about violations of our civil liberties and don't want to see someone at the head of the intelligence [community] who is going to lie to members of Congress in a hearing," Amash told POLITICO.
He sees the libertarian move as an evolution of the party as a whole.
"That's just a natural evolution within the Republican Party," Amash said. "The vast majority of Republicans agree with my perspective on this. And when I called for Mr. Clapper's resignation, our phones were off the hook with support from our constituents."

The company has "emerged successful in revoking composition patents of Allergan," it said in a statement.
Ajanta had challenged the two patents granted to Allergan in 2011 on grounds of "obviousness, not an invention, not patentable, insufficiency and non-disclosure under section 8 of the Patent Act," the drug firm said.
The Kolkata-based Patent and Design Office had granted two patents to Allergan for the composition covering Bimatoprost and Timolol (sold under the Ganfort brand), and Timolol Brimonidine and Timolol (sold as Combigan), which are used for eye-related treatments.
"Ajanta has already been successfully selling Bimat T and Bidin LS (the generic versions of the drugs) in the Indian market and will continue to sell backed by this favourable verdict," the drug company said.
In its ruling revoking the patents, the Chennai-based Intellectual Properties Appellate Board said: "We have found the claimed invention as obvious."
Earlier this week, the government had "treated as withdrawn" patent applications by Swiss pharma major Roche Holding for offshoot medicines of its breast cancer drug 'Herceptin' because the company did not comply with local norms.

A Quick Look at the Senate Bill's Economic Impacts
On Friday EPA released its first cut assessment of the economic impacts of the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act of 2009 (S. 1733), the Senate's response to the House climate and energy bill passed in June. Senator Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, unveiled the analysis along with new details of the bill she is co-sponsoring with Senator Kerry (D-MA).
The bottom line: EPA anticipates that the Senate and House bills will yield very similar results in terms of overall costs, allowance prices, and emissions. Some differences in key provisions could raise the price tag of the Senate bill by up to 1% over its House counterpart. As for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the tighter 2020 target in the Senate bill -- requiring a 20% reduction in emissions compared to 2005 levels, as opposed to 17% in the House bill -- would reduce cumulative GHG emissions through 2050 by about 1% more than the House version.
EPA did not conduct a full set of new model runs, but instead drew on its own recent modeling analyses of the House bill and other recent climate bills, plus some short-hand modeling using a "reduced form" version of one of its economy-wide models. EPA has conducted modeling analyses of five climate bills since 2005, encompassing nearly 50 modeling scenarios in all. According to the assessment, existing modeling results are "instructive in highlighting the magnitude and direction of impacts and the way they may change under different conditions." Indeed, modeling exercises from a variety of governmental, academic, and private sources have shown repeatedly that the availability of offsets, rapid deployment of zero- and low-carbon energy technologies, and return of allowance value to consumers are key drivers in mitigating the costs of climate policy.
In its June analysis of the House bill, EPA projected costs of $88 to $111 per year for each family, or about 23-29 cents per day in 2020 and 76 cents to one dollar per day in 2030. While the bills overlap in many ways, some key differences between them could increase these costs up to 1% in the Senate version. EPA also speculates that these differences may net themselves out in the end, since they will both raise and lower the cost of the Senate bill. Below is a summary of the way the EPA breaks down the anticipated changes on allowance price and cost in the Senate bill compared to the House bill:
In addition, changes in energy efficiency provisions and a smaller CCS bonus pool are expected to slightly increase allowance prices under the Senate bill. Differences in coverage, treatment of energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries, and provisions concerning transportation and offsets in agriculture and forestry are negligible and are not expected to have an impact.

It's been a while since I've done a post like this, one with an assortment of ideas I've been working on for some time. They used to be frequent back in the Ol' Blogs, bur since MyIGN has started, well, I haven't been talking to you people formally (or informally).
So, before I start saying things irrelevant to the post, LET US BEGIN!
So, the other day in Creative Writing (yes, I am a part of the after school club), the new person thought up an amazing prompt. Because I was in this Greek Mythology mindset, I came up with this:
Prompt: Prehistoric reason for night and day.
"King Anthony, why does the Moon fall out of the sky, only to be replaced by the Sun?"
"Well, sire, the Sun and the Moon were relatives, the Sun-the sister, the Moon-the brother. They once lived together in harmony, but when the Earth, their Mother, bore us humans, they fought to get possession of us. Do you see the craters on the Moon?"
"Yes, I see them clearly."
"Well, that was the outcome. The Sun, far stronger, ultimately beat the Moon, and was just about to reign the skies for eternity."
"What happened sire?"
"Father Heaven found out about the dispute, and made it so that the Sun reigns for half the day, before falling and being overtaken by the Moon. The Moon then reigns for the other half of the day, until it falls, being overtaken by the Sun. It was ordered by the Father that this cycle remained continuous. He could not bear see his children fight."
Well, hope you had fun reading the little myth that I came up with!
One of the reasons I haven't been on recently, is because of me working on them stories. Operation DeadRose will have another update on a Chapter quite possibly on dimanche (Sunday). The Last Stand will also receive another Chapter Update quite possibly on lundi(Monday), while That Odd Radio Show will receive an update on mardi(Tuesday). These are some important dates, so keep them in mind!
If you haven't noticed it yet, I know a bit of French. I am currently only in French one, but what I've learned is amazing! J'aime parler francais! (I like speaking French!) I am still on the learning train, so it's not like I'm writing a whole post in French anytime soon. You know what, J'aime jouer aux jeux video. Figure that out by yourself ;D
So two days ago, kingofbrats wrote a blog post that I read only yesterday. It included a video of a movie titled "Sintel". I watched it, and I've got to say, it is phenomenal. I won't provide a nifty little video box thing, but if you click on the link provided, you'll see it. It is about 15 minutes long, but it is awesome. Fun-fact, it was made using Blender Modelling software, or a portion of it. Blender is a free modelling software that one can use to model, animate and create little movies. I used it once, but I used an old version. I might come around to downloading that beta some time now...
The other reason I haven't been on much is because of School. I probably won't be on more often anyway. Let's see, Monday-French Collateral due, French Quiz, and Wednesday-AP World Test, Next Monday-Art Collateral due. I heard it'll only get worse, as I'll get a English collateral soon, in addition to my Biology collateral due next month. This in addition to my regular homework, I am swamped. Plus, I'm a procrastinator, so that makes everything ten times worse...*Note: A collateral is the equivalent of a really big research project*
And FINALLY:
I would like to extend a massive thank you for letting me achieve 200+ followers. It is amazing at how long it took, but I've still gotten there, with all of your help, and all that stuff.
I won't take this seriously, because it's not something that should be treated seriously. It's just 200 followers, probably 100 of them following just for the follow. Anyway, keep on rocking everyone!
I hope I could do another one of these Random Posts, they are quite fun, and very informative. It probably won't come around soon, though, sigh.
Au revoir everyone! -KGfizzy

James Loney hasn't exactly set Hollywood ablaze with his hitting prowess; can he still cash in on his mediocrity?
For reasons I don't entirely comprehend, James Loney has been on my mind of late. His skill set is unusual for a first baseman, and although some players have parlayed similar skills into a successful big-league career, such players are few and far between.
In last week's light-hearted preview of the NL West, I quipped that Loney should star in a show called "Being Doug Mientkiewicz." Marginally amusing one-liners aside, the truth is that Loney is a better hitter than Mientkiewicz, though this is hardly cause for celebration among Dodgers fans. Set the bar low enough and everything looks good.

Jim ponders Frank Thomas' uniform change this offseason, and finds some famous comparables who played out their last year in a strange uniform.
In this case, it's a combination of two words: "relocate" and "coda." For those of you who didn't spend four years of your life missing baseball games because you were in the high school band, the latter is a musical term meaning the concluding passage of a movement of composition. I conjured this hybrid word in honor of Frank Thomas's move to Oakland after 16 years with the White Sox. I'm applying it to all the players who nearly made it through long careers with the same team only to find themselves elsewhere for their swan songs, finales and, in the case of the pitchers who have been down this road, gotterdammerungs.

It wasn't that long ago, really. In 1992, 30 homers would have placed a hitter fourth in the National League. These days, a player could hit 30 home runs and never show up on the typical fan's radar. We're in the middle of the biggest home run jump in baseball history. (Big news, to you all, I'm sure. Tomorrow's feature: the Pope wears a skullcap!)
If the sportswriters of the future aren't careful, then hitters of the '90s are going to be seriously overrepresented in the Hall of Fame, the same way that hitters of the '20s and '30s are today. People looked at the gaudy batting averages of the era (Freddy Lindstrom hit .379 in 1930! Ooooooh!) and instinctively viewed then through the prism of their own era (a .379 average in 1976, when the Vets' committee inducted Lindstrom, would have been 40 points higher than any major leaguer actually hit that year).

This week in weather: forecasts call for fresh pow and brutal temps
Heading into the second week of January, it looks like the panhandle of Idaho, western Montana, Wyoming, and northern Colorado are sitting pretty on some powder. Northern Washington, though a bit dry in the next few days, could be hit with upwards of 6 inches a day starting on Wednesday, 1/8. More snow has been falling in the Northeast, with totals up towards 18″ in some very lucky areas. Moving into the weekend, however, it is looking a bit more bitter than snowy, with temps dropping to around -10 degrees, though even that has got nothing on the Midwest, where locals are expecting a record low to hit on Monday, with the mercury dipping down to around -50. Overall, it looks like it's going to be a powder-ful weekend across the country, so grab your boots (and about 3 jackets if you're in the Midwest) and take full advantage!
Check out forecasts for the days ahead, courtesy of our friends at Opensnow.com…
The Pacific Northwest:
The forecast is looking mighty dry up towards Oregon, with resorts across the state looking at a solid few days sans snowfall. The only exceptions are Spout Springs and Ski Anthony Lakes, which are predicted to see just about 6 and 3 inches, respectively, and not until Tuesday. Stevens Pass is looking at 1 inch Friday night, with nothing more until Monday night, though again they are expecting just about 1″. WA in general is looking pretty mellow, following in the same trend as Stevens Pass and getting about an inch Friday night with little else falling until Monday night or Tuesday. However, looking ahead to Wednesday the 8th, Crystal Mountain, Mt. Baker, Mt. Spokane, and Stevens Pass are all seeing the possibility of up to 6″ Thursday, with an additional 1-6″ predicted every day through Sunday. Mt. Baker may even see over 12 inches on the 9th. So while the next few days are looking a bit dry, it seems as though the snow gods are simply biding their time before breaking out the big guns later on next week.
The Northern Rockies:
Checking in with Montana, it looks like Showdown Mountain and Teton Pass Resort could see anywhere from 3-5 inches Friday night, plus an additional 2-4 on Saturday. On through Saturday night and Sunday, an additional 5 inches are expected to pile up, before the storm wraps up on Monday. Snowbowl is looking at up to 3 inches Friday, with an additional 3 coming Friday night. Saturday is expected to mellow out, with just 2 inches falling before Sunday dries out completely. Tuesday is promising another round for most of the state, though accumulations are predicted to be capped at about 4 inches. Moving over to Wyoming, this weekend is looking pretty fine, as Grand Targhee, Snow King, and Teton Pass all expect upwards of 3 inches Friday, with an additional 2-5 falling overnight. Saturday brings another round of 1-3 inches across the state, though many areas mellow out on Sunday. Similar to MT, WY looks pretty dry for Monday, with a storm ramping up for another round come Tuesday night.
The Northeast:
After another round of snowfall fell over the NE last night, with the best accumulations building up in the Berkshires, in MA, where Bradford boasts 18″ of fresh, while Nashoba Valley and Blue Hills earned about 12. Looking forward, temps across the region will continue to drop and the wind is moving in for the weekend. It looks as though the cold may be pretty brutal, as meteorologist Brian Clark notes, "I really can't remember a major snowstorm with temperatures this cold in my lifetime." But hey, at least if it's going to be that cold, there will be some great snow to make that frostbite worth your while. The thermometer is going to be dipping below -10 at most every resort, so bundle up before you get out to enjoy that fresh snow!

Kicking off Friday night, heavy snow is expected to hit Colorado through Saturday afternoon. Saturday is looking like a prime powder day along and to the north of I-70, with Steamboat, Winter Park, Breckenridge, and Copper favored by snow blowing in with a NW wind flow; Colorado Daily Snow meteorologist Joel Gratz notes that the set up is promisingly similar to the system that dropped around 10 inches a few days back. When all is said and done, the aforementioned resorts could be doused with up to 12 inches of fresh snow, while mountains in the central and souther regions of the state are looking at a more modest 2-4 or 3-6 inches. While the snow appears to wrap up Saturday night, the temps will remain pretty bitter throughout Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are expected to dry out a bit, with another chance for snowfall coming on Wednesday. Looking ahead, the weeks to come are looking mighty snowy, and we don't hate that!
Find out more about Colorado, via the Colorado Daily Snow.
This weekend will bring a small dose of snow to Utah, as a weak storm moves in Friday night to drop off around 1-4 inches in Northern Utah. A weak system may also blow through early next week, though not much accumulation is expected. Park City and Snowbird are looking at about 1-3 inches Friday night, and another inch Saturday, while Canyons and Snowbasin are expected to receive just about 1″ Friday, and 1″ Saturday.

The Sierras:
Up around Tahoe, there are three promising systems predicted to hit throughout next week. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday all come with the possibility of snow, though it looks like just a dusting. Another system moving in through the weekend, however, is expected to drop over 6 inches. Most of the long-range ensemble runs show the ridge rebuilding week 2 bringing a return of dry conditions going towards mid-month.
For more weather, check out Bryan Allegretto's Tahoe Daily Snow
The Midwest:
Heads up Midwest, it's about to get chilly. As a cold front makes its way down into the Midwest from the Great White North, the region is expected to see snowfall in northern Minnesota and Michigan. The heaviest portion of the storm is expected to hit Friday night, tapering off before sunrise Saturday morning. This area is looking to receive around 4-8″, with lake effect on the Keweenaw and near Newberry upping the totals into the 6-9″ range. Beginning on Sunday night, temps are expected to sit just below zero, but come Monday, the thermometer will dip into the -50 range… you heard right. -50. We're going to recommend you throw a few logs on your fire and stay inside as the Midwest experiences this record breaking cold. The temperature is supposed to raise into the negative teens on Tuesday, an improvement, but still pretty painful. This cold front will move out of the region as next week progresses, allowing the temps to warm up a bit.

The Scottish Tories look like supporting more devolution. Cue predictable apoplexy from some. Devolution was a terrible mistake, slopes are slippery, beaches should be fought on and ditches died in.
In its own way, this reaction makes exactly the same mistake as nationalists. To understand why needs a history lesson, and a grasp of public opinion. Let's start with the history.
The Union of 1707 was a genuine deal. After a military standoff, England knew it couldn't conquer Scotland. But Scotland was broke, and couldn't afford to stay independent. The deal put into practice a Scottish scheme for dealing with the problem that was England. A union that preserved in Scotland the things that really mattered; not its mediaeval parliament, but its legal system, which kept the elite happy, and its church, which mattered much more to most people.
It's easy today to forget how significant the church then was: wars had been fought over the 'true protestant religion'. You might think that there couldn't be more than one, but the deal required the Monarch to agree it was one thing in England and another in Scotland. She still does. The Church of Scotland, in which many people had a place, mattered much more to them than the old Scots parliament, in which few had a voice.
Such domestic government as the 18th century had was built around Edinburgh's legal establishment, from which the great fixer Henry Dundas ran Scotland. He still surveys Edinburgh from a column nearly as high as Nelson's. But as the British state grew in the 19th and 20th centuries, separate Scottish Boards, Commissions and departments grew too. More responsibilities were added piece by piece, notably by the Thatcher government.
So separate Scottish institutions were built into union from the start. But by the irreligious late 20th century, a separate church mattered to many fewer; and in a world of universal suffrage, elite rule had to give way to democratic. So some form of elected Scottish Assembly or Parliament was inevitable, and it finally arrived in 1999.
This is reflected in Scottish public opinion. Recent comparative research shows that Scots are more committed to decentralised decisions and their own identity than in other comparable places–Catalonia, Bavaria and so on.
Nationalists draw the wrong conclusion from this, but the majority of Scots don't confuse their powerful national identity with a separate state. Nationalism may appeal to the heart, rather than the head. But it's precisely half-hearted. The soul might indeed be dead which did not warm to the story of Scottish identity and culture: but it would be barren too if not moved by shared British history and achievement.
The truth is, this commitment to Scottishness reflects just how much of it there has always been. Of course it was heightened by the divisive economic history of the 1980s, and emphasised by a Scottish Parliament, but unionists should not fall into the same trap as nationalists – seeing it as a trend towards separation – and fighting it tooth and nail.
Where Britain has failed so far, though, is in adjusting the union to reflect the fact that Scottish distinctiveness now has an elected edge. Westminster created a Scottish Parliament – and Assemblies in Cardiff and Belfast – but itself sailed on as if nothing had happened.
Where the legislature been obtuse, locked into inactivity by a half-understood notion of parliamentary sovereignty, the judges have been subtle. With very little material to work on, the Supreme Court has developed a sophisticated devolution jurisprudence. The judges realise the UK now has multiple legislatures, each with real democratic legitimacy.
What the country needs, of course, is a properly defined territorial constitution. Perversely, delivering it will probably be an SNP achievement. If Scotland chooses to stay British – as the polls suggest – separation will be off the agenda 'for a generation'. That provides the opportunity to look at territorial questions properly, not through the lens of appeasing nationalist sentiment, and develop a proper UK framework that deals with Wales, Northern Ireland and, most significantly, England too.
There is nothing new under the sun. The issues to be resolved are the same Gladstone struggled with over Irish home rule – taxation and representation. He failed, struggling with the intractability of the problem, and a roadblock of Tory resistance.
The taxation issues are complex, but solutions are beginning to emerge. The Government has already legislated to make the Scottish Parliament fiscally responsible, adjusting the funding system accordingly. The Conservatives, and the other parties, might now want to take this further.
Representation is harder. Westminster is England's Parliament as well as the UK's, and the asymmetry of having non-English members might be problematic. But it doesn't need a written constitution to fix this. Help is at hand from the McKay Commission. Perhaps its creation was driven by English Conservative frustration about Labour governments, but its proposals for dealing with the West Lothian Question are balanced and sensible: just as a constitutional convention has developed that Westminster does not legislate on devolved matters, they suggest a convention that Parliament listens to English voices on English laws, as English opinion seems to want.
Supporters of the union can have a positive, well thought through, proposition. A union true to its historical foundations, and in line with UK public opinion. They must make that proposition to the whole UK, which is not just a bystander in the Scottish referendum.
So take some pills for the apoplexy: remember it's an accident of history that 'Unionist' in the Tory party's name refers to past debates about Ireland. That's not the sort of union being challenged in the Scottish referendum, and unionists must make sure to defend the right one.

The Quincy Police Department is actively searching for 53-year-old Quincy man last seen at 4:30 a.m. Wednesday.
The search is being conducted at Gardner Park, and the Adams County EMS search-and-rescue team is assisting at the scene.
Reporter Don O'Brien is on the scene and says all entrances to Gardner Park are closed.
O'Brien spoke with David Prendergast, who said it is his grandfather, David Leonard, who is missing. Prendergast said Leonard has lived in Quincy since February and frequented Gardner Park and Quinsippi Island. He said his grandfather's truck was found parked at Gardner Park on Wednesday night, and that his grandfather does not have a cell phone with him.
Quincy police Sgt. Adam Yates confirmed that the missing man is David W. Leonard, 53, of 1329 N. Sixth.
Adams County Emergency Management Agency Director John Simon says a group of six trained searchers are looking for Leonard. Two of those searchers returned to the staging area at about 10:30 a.m. after they were attacked by a swarm of bees.
We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.

Go to Expert Advice
In a very basic way, doctors working in mental health use much
the same skills as those working in other areas. Medical school
always felt like a challenge in which you cram your head with as
much information as you can and hope to hold onto enough of it for
long enough to get through your exams. When I started working, I
realised that for 5 years they had been teaching me a system or a
strategy for managing sick people in a (largely) foolproof way.
When you leave medical school you have a highly systematic method
for quickly assessing the patient, rapidly identifying which one of
the thousands of things you have learnt about is going wrong in
front of you, focusing on the dangers associated with that
particular problem and quickly devising an efficient plan to deal
with what you're seeing.
It may not always be as obvious,
but a structured approach and absolute precision are as important
in mental health as in any other specialty. The difference lies in
the knowledge base that we work from. Neurobiology and the
pathophysiology of mental illness is an important part of this
knowledge base. The same principles apply here as in any other area
of medicine. There are, however, a number of differences. The first
is that our understanding of the pathophysiology of mental illness
is more limited than in many other areas of medicine. The second
difference is that neurobiology is only one of a number of
different ways that we have come to conceptualise mental illness.
We also recognise that the mental wellbeing or otherwise of the
individual is linked to their life experiences. Their development
and experiences through childhood and beyond can be a significant
factor in the development of mental illness. More current
circumstances and life events can also contribute to the
development of mental illness. The theories and knowledge base that
underpin this aspect of our understanding are as complex and
important as the neurobiology of mental illness. The treatment of
these kinds of problems is also much less straightforward than
writing a prescription.
Treating the whole patient
The biological, psychological and
social aspects of each individual case need to be carefully
considered and attended to in thinking about management. This is a
considerable challenge and the reality is that you could happily
devote your whole career to fully understanding just one aspect of
the model. It is no simple task to develop a full and workable
model to guide your practice. Our capacity to utilise these models
to understand the people that we work with is technically
important. It is also often the case that the sense of being
understood is one of the most powerful interventions that we can
offer to the people with whom we work. In psychiatry, our
relationship with our patients is often as important as any
technical intervention that we can provide. Mental illnesses are
often considered to be less "serious" than physical illnesses. The
reality is that the morbidity associated with mental illness tops
most charts comparing the specialties. Mortality is not
insignificant and never inconsequential. Death by suicide is always
tragic and has massive implications for friends and
Psychiatry is complex, challenging and
Working in psychiatry you still use
the core skills that you develop as a medical student and a doctor.
It is complex, challenging and absorbing. The big draw of
psychiatry is that you have the freedom to make what you want of
it. You can choose to specialise in any of numerous subspecialties.
Within your specialty, you can choose to work in a way that bests
suits your personality and how you think about psychiatry. It is
this variety, flexibility and freedom that make it such an
interesting area to work. I have always enjoyed my work and found
it extremely satisfying. It's also true that time spent with the
patients is often much more fun than work really ought to

Local:Global Exhibition at Chronicle Books
Designboom and a few other blogs beat us to it, but we are proud to announce the first in a series of exhibitions and events entitled Local:Global. This series showcases the work of Bay Area creative firms that, like Chronicle, operate on an international level.
The first exhibition will be with San Francisco's industrious and mordant studio CITIZEN:Citizen, founded by Philip Wood. Next Friday, May 2 will see the launch of their latest project, "Untitled" by Joe Gebbia. "Untitled" is a series of unique book-like objects that literally and figuratively are blank slates. A reflection of the manufacturing processes that publishers employ, these are denatured books—hard to pinpoint but easy to obsess over.
Chronicle has long explored the medium of the book through cutting-edge production and design, so Joe's conceptual project fits right in with our exploration. The object values of everything we make is always a key concern; hosting exhibitions of the products from local creative companies is sympathetic to our mission. You shall hear more about these events as they develop, but for now please come to our first Local:Global show:
Saturday May 3, 10 AM–4 PM
Monday through Saturday May 5–10, 10 AM–5 PM
680 Second Street (between Townsend and Brannan)

New Frontiers – New Zealand – Queenstown
New Zealand – Part 2
Yeah I know it's a bit delayed. Did you miss me?! Soz I've had a bit on my plate, but I'm back now so all is right with the world again! Anyway on to Part 2 of our NZ hols. . . .
Our recent holiday to New Zealand wasn't just about skiing which is why we chose to stay in Queenstown – or QTown as the locals call it (actually I have no idea if they do but I like it! Welcome to QTooown said with an American accent!) I don't know why I'm telling you this , this is a tangent let's move on:-
As our 3 hour flight came into land at the tiny QT Airport (I'm abbreviating even more now, think I need to chill) the scenery we were greeted with, through the small window of the plane was absolutely breathtaking. Read more…

User talk:Utahnancy
Welcome to Utahnancy's talk page, I'm looking forward to getting to know you. Feel free to talk anytime.
Hi Nancy ... I saw the question you added to Davidmlam's User Page and wanted to let you know that your User Page is ready for you to create. The message "You have followed a link to a page that does not exist yet" is a little misleading ... it simply means it hasn't been created yet by the page owner. If you click on your User Page, under that message you will see the editor box, and you can just start typing in there just like you do on any page. Once you save any content the first time, that "does not exist yet" message will go away. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Wiki Support
Nancy, we have deleted some of the user pages that were created, and only left the ones you will need. Jenson1
Welcome to the wiki! I saw the following questions on another page and noticed that you had some questions so thought I would bring them over here to your talk page and answer them if I could. It's exciting to see you coming into the wiki and doing so much already! janellv
Hello I'm Nancy
I have many questions (and some goals coming to my mind) that I'm sure I will eventually figure out but I'm writing them down;
What types of projects can be created? Is there a log on the Family Search site where users can hunt for their ancestors life story (articles) I'm a descendant of Daniel Henrie and I have many stories from my family members that I would like to share but don't know if these stories are already placed somewhere on the site. If, not I would like to start such an area. Users could put their family surname in a search box and find stories, articles on their family members, is this already available here? Does the editor tool have a spell check? I can't seem to find it
- Answer:
- 1. Types of projects - any and all! Here's a list of current projects in the works in the wiki. What types of projects would you like to help with? We have two main types of projects - "content" projects to help build up the "how to research" in the wiki, and "support/maintenance" projects which help us keep the wiki running smoothly. What would you like to see?
- 2. I think Jenson1 answered this question for you already but no, the wiki isn't really a place to give personal information about your ancestors. It's more about giving research guidance to lead people to the records their ancestors are in.
- 3. No, no spell check, unfortunately. That would sure be nice though! Click on the orange Feedback link over on the right side of the screen and submit that as an idea of something you would like to see.
Let us know if you have any other questions. Also, the Contributor Help forums are a great place to go if you have questions not related to a specific page in the wiki.
janellv 14:55, 24 June 2011 (UTC) {{Helpme}}
Hi Nancy ...
We have a project to insert Infoboxes on the Texas counties and wanted to ask if you would be interested in helping. If you go to https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Davidson_County,_Tennessee the infobox is the one with the maps in it on the top middle of the page. Just let me know.

Something afoot in Idaho Something went wrong with Idaho State Historical Society site. Whatever affected Boise, Idaho page also affected the rest of the state, too. I fixed 2 dead links but for the rest, all led to ISHS site and something is wrong there, so am leaving deadlinks in for newspapers and directories. Dsammy 04:10, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Glad you found the link to Digital Archives. I got email from Idaho, informing me of new updated page for ISHS, but it's not complete. Guess a lot of work to do to go through all of counties and city pages of Idaho to change to new link. A question - are you aware of this link? http://history.idaho.gov/sites/default/files/uploads/ISHS%20Mircrofilm%20County%20Records.pdf (I haven't heard from Jimmy Parker, state moderator lately). Dsammy 20:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Found out today Jimmy Parker passed away yesterday, Friday Sept 9 in Bountiful, Utah. Now Idaho will be in need of a new moderator if there isn't one already. Dsammy 02:59, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Miss you
I haven't seen you do anything in Washington Co. since July miss you on the site. Thank you for all you are doing for the Wiki. Dawne 20:23, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Why quit smoking?
To improve your family's well-being:
- Enjoy a longer and healthier life with your children and grandchildren.
- Breathe easier and cough less.
- Have more energy.
- Save money that would be spent on cigarettes.
- Set a good example for your children.
To look and smell better:
- Get rid of bad breath.
- Have fresh-smelling clothes and hair.
- Lose yellow stain on teeth and fingers.
- Prevent wrinkles.
How does smoking affect your health?
Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 chemicals, and many of them are poisonous. The poisonous chemicals in cigarettes can lead to:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Cancer
- Lung disease
How does smoking affect the health of your loved ones?
Children exposed to cigarette smoke may have more:
- Asthma attacks
- Bronchitis
- Ear infections
Family members exposed to cigarette smoke may develop:
- Heart and lung problems
- Stroke
- Cancer
Smoking during pregnancy increases the chances that your baby will be born sick.
What should you expect when you quit smoking?
Nicotine is a powerful drug that causes addiction. Your body gets used to the nicotine in cigarettes. When you stop smoking, getting rid of the nicotine in your body can make you feel sick.
Tell your doctor that you are trying to quit smoking. There are medicines that can help you feel better.
How does it feel when you begin to quit smoking?
Some people may have headaches and feel cranky and tired. This happens when the body tries to get rid of the nicotine.
The good news is:
- Most symptoms go away in about 4 weeks.
- Quitting smoking is not easy, but many people are able to quit for good.
- If you smoke again, quit again. It may take many attempts to stay off cigarettes.
Follow Pedro's example to quit smoking for good.

Scottish literature dates back to well before the medieval ages, and there have been plenty of prolific writers throughout the centuries.
Many Scottish writers produced works in English in addition to the native languages such as Scottish Gaelic and Scots.
Each era was defined by different writing styles that were influenced by a few talented authors. Overall, Scotland's most famous writers are from the 18th and 19th century periods. Robert Burns and Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson are some of the most recognizable names in Scottish literature.
Born in the small village of Alloway, Robert Burns has risen to iconic status in Scotland and beyond. You may
be surprised to learn that one of Scotland's most famous writers actually wrote poems rather than novels. Burns also had musical creativity, and he integrated traditional folk songs into his poems. For example, his poem "Auld Lang Syne" has been carefully written to match the musical notes of an old folk song. Written in 1788 in the Scots language, this melodic poem has become part of a New Year's tradition in Scotland, the United Kingdom, and other countries where English is spoken. "Auld Lang Syne" has also appeared in numerous films throughout the English speaking world. Today, visitors from all over the world pay tribute to Robert Burns in the Burns Cottage Museum, located on a quaint street in his hometown.
During the 19th century of Scottish Literature, Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was arguably the most prolific writer. Stevenson's works are a bit more diverse, ranging from novels and poetry to travel guides and historic documentations. Stevenson was naturally an ambitious explorer who loved to travel. In fact, one of his most notable works, Treasure Island, tells the tales of pirate adventures. It's not surprising that Stevenson's life ended in Samoa, far away from his birthplace in the capital city of Scotland. Today, Stevenson's legacy is quite strong, as he is one of the most translated authors worldwide.

are themselves badly malnourished, and the weanling orphans with
no mothers at all. The new technique is notably promising for use
in remote locations, in times of need, and in the aftermath of natural
or man-made disasters. It can thus reach the populations where mortality
from malnutrition is greatest. It complements breast feeding and
makes the weaning process more successful for the most threatened
individuals in locations where milk and baby formula are unavailable.
The prime "tool" in this new technique is food-grade malted barley.
This white powder is nothing more than ground-up sprouted barley
grains. It is a flavoring ingredient in malted milk, corn flakes,
Grape Nuts, Wonder bread, English muffins, pizza crusts, Milky Way
bars and many more foods. The United States produces thousands of
tons of it annually, but little is now used to help starving babies
Nonetheless, food-grade malted barley flour could save lives. It
is rich in the enzymes that digest starch. Indeed, it digests starch
so well that it turns any hot boiled staple (raw grain) into a liquid.
We call it PowerFlour because it causes such a spectacular
The approach we envision involves no change in diet, no complex
routines to learn, and barely any change in life-style. PowerFlour
would be employed solely to turn a portion of the family food staple
into a form babies can be nourished with. Children have difficulty
swallowing corn mush, rice, potato, sorghum, and dozens of other
"solids." PowerFlour converts these boiled staples into liquids
to be drunk. In other words, solids that infants struggle to ingest
become suddenly easy to handle with a baby's natural born instincts.
Using PowerFlour is simple. The mother merely adds the powder to
the hot pablum, porridge, mash, mush or gruel that constitute the
basic diet of the poorest of the poor families. The conversion occurs
almost instantaneously. The quantity used is very small: a teaspoon
of PowerFlour easily liquefies a gallon of corn porridge, mashed
potatoes, or other boiled staple. The cost is negligible; the price
of a teaspoon of PowerFlour, for instance, is not even 1/10 of a
cent. Two pinches of PowerFlour in a cup of hot gruel does the trick.
Taste is no limitation. PowerFlour gives malted milkshakes their
flavor. Moreover, its enzymes release sugars from the starch, so
the liquefied product becomes doubly palatable (better tasting).
Despite some studies of weaning foods made with starch-digesting
enzymes, nothing like this instant, barley-based, food-liquefying
catalyst has been employed before.
In everyday practice in the Third World village, the mother
merely scoops a portion from the family cooking pot, stirs in a little PowerFlour,
and passes the resulting fluid to her weanling child. No more fighting
to get pablum down; no more diluting pasty foods with potentially
contaminated water; no more digestive difficulties from a wad of
starch balled up in a tiny, tender stomach. The baby feeds itself
by sucking a sweetish liquid from a cup.
PowerFlour samples could be supplied by the local health service,
rural clinics, relief agencies, or other organizations. The raw
ingredient could be provided in bulk or in pre-packaged form by
the United States, Denmark, The Netherlands, South Africa, Japan,
or other countries that make food-grade malted barley. The cost
would be about 1 cent per child. One cent buys enough PowerFlour
to catalyze the liquefaction of 100 cup-sized servings of the local
staple. Ingesting that much food will ensure an infant a full stomach
at least once a day. That in turn will remove the threat from inadequate
food intake during the early weaning period.
The process is safe. The food has been boiled and thereby rendered
free of infection. More than 99 percent of it is the local staple,
eaten since time immemorial. The added PowerFlour (less than 1 percent)
is itself wholesome. The only real changes are the liquid consistency
and the disappearance of starch. In most cases the latter will cause
no problem, but the released sugars may prolong any diarrhea outbreak.
The PowerFlour Action Network was established to get this process
employed with dispatch. Through the Network, information is communicated
to audiences ranging from national leaders to field workers. Trial
PowerFlour samples are provided to interested parties. Research
results and field responses are being compiled for dissemination.
The Network's written documentation include a technical overview,
a field-guide in different languages, and a newsletter published
several times a year. Electronic dissemination is via this website
and an e-mail service to answer questions and take orders for PowerFlour.
A videotape demonstrating product usage is also in the works.
Although the ultimate outcome of this project can only be speculated
on, we are confident that the results will be profound. Already,
a program directed by former president Jimmy Carter and Nobel Prizewinner
Norman Borlaug has found that malnourished children in Ghana's villages
ingest three times more food using the PowerFlour process. Observers
consider that the method makes the difference between life and death
for those children. Similar results are reported from Haiti and
other spots where fatal malnutrition is prevalent.
PowerFlour International is established as an IRS-approved
nonprofit organization under code 501(3)(c). Its activities will
help garner the worldwide attention this innovation deserves. In
this way, PowerFlour International might well accomplish in
a few short years, and at modest cost, a result that multinational,
multi-million dollar organizations could take pride in accomplishing
over decades. At present, PowerFlour is hardly known to such organizations.
By stimulating them and also others outside the mainstream we can
swing open a new window of opportunity for reducing the death rate
among the world's littlest and least deserving sufferers.

Alt-ittudeMonday, March 25 2013
Needless to say, the topic ofFrench dressinghas been used and abused on this side of the rainbow. I feel it would almost be an insult to your eardrums to use my getup of the day as an excuse to ramble on yet again about simplicity and effortlessness. But what else am I suppose to talk about when the sartorial ingredientsa la cartetoday serve to nourish those very clichés?
Also, let's be honest here, there is no hope on earth I'm letting that pun go to waste.
Alt-ittude is it then.
Read it as mechannelingthe Emmanuelle, with an attitude to match (see: gueststar appearance of 3G tactile device) or as an haute variation on the usual uniform of sorts (hellosilk blouse-I'm a grown up now, see!). At the end of the day, we all know why we are here. Unless you only come in the hope that I might be high on print or colour for a change? Or was the title a dead give away? Does it matter? Are you even reading this? Pray if you are, do give us a shout!

Moving to a more secure, digital chip-based credit card could help alleviate fraud
happy2bhere clearfield, UTJune 5, 2014 7:52 a.m.
And to add to the security issue, how about ID cards, state or national, with secure chips that would help deal with the illegal population and jobs.
lost in DC West Jordan, UTJune 3, 2014 12:42 p.m.
the Target breach was not caused by the strip cards vs chip cards, it came AFTER the data was transfered to the POS (Point of Sale) device from the card.
if you want to make an argument, don't abse it on falsehoods that chip cards would have prevented the breach.
Why did you not post this comment yesterday when I first made it? what part of your policy does it violate? Did you not understand the Point of Sale acronym?
ordinaryfolks seattle, WAJune 2, 2014 10:56 p.m.
The only reason we don't have chipped cards, like the rest of the western democracies in the world is that our bankers don't want to spend the money to convert our current systems and equipment to one compatible with chipped cards.
It's all about the money. Fraud and theft are cheaper to banks than changing software and equipment.
And this is the banking system we bailed out in 2008, after the stinkers dug themselves a hole so big they were about to go belly up. Now, banks and bankers are generating great profit, we have all forgotten or forgiven them for their past misdeeds. They got huge $ from the feds, and continue to make all the rules for themselves.
Yup, good as chipped cards may be, it won't happen unless the fraud gets too expensive, or the feds make 'em do it. It is all about the money.
Hutterite American Fork, UTJune 2, 2014 2:33 p.m.
Chip cards, which I have, are more convenient and faster when the system is in place to use them.
JoeCapitalist2 Orem, UTJune 2, 2014 11:54 a.m.
There is no reason why we can't have a system that easily generates transaction codes that cannot be re-used. We need a system where you can generate a unique identifier that is only good for the transaction being processed. That way, you don't care who steals it, since it can't be used to buy stuff somewhere else.
Things like SS# and credit card numbers should not be items that can be misused if they fall into the wrong hands. Since data breaches happen all the time, we have to assume that someone will get that information. If the information is worthless to whoever steals it, then they wouldn't try so hard to get it.
Imagine if someone could wreck your credit rating if all they knew was your full name. We assume that a person's full name is public information so just knowing a name will not let you buy a car. The same should be true of other types of information.

LDS Liberal,
Too funny.
LDS Liberal Farmington, UTJune 2, 2014 7:44 a.m.
In your opinion:
Why not just support RFID chip implants,
With the coded number of the "Beast" on it,
So your information will remain 100% secure and never lost or stolen,
And while we are at it,
Allows "the Beast" to determine who can buy and who can sell...

Xruns and rt kernel
Setup: HP xv4200 running Mandriva 2009.1 (Ardour 2.7.1 with 2.6.29 kernel)
3.4Ghz 64-bit, 2.5G RAM, Radeon x1600, Intel IH6-AC'97
Settings: 48000Hz 1024 2 42.7ms 128 - Playback/Recording on 1 Device
I am wondering whether using an old Audigy sound card might help with the xruns
I've been experiencing in playback/recording a 5 minute session. So far, I've
counted at least six varying from 0.7ms to 7.3ms. I've tried the rt kernel for
the setup, and it refuses to capture my Behringer C-1U mic on alsa_pcm (and I
haven't a clue what to do about it). Without rt, it records OK. At this point,
I'm not even sure whether I have I set up the audio session properly.
I am confused at just what to adjust - I am concerned with the sudden 'burps' in
the recording (they are the xruns, right?)
I'm also confused whether I should even bother with the rt kernel, if I could
get rid of the 'burps' without using it. I've read a number of the posts, but it
seems to add more confusuion. Could someone help me get a better grip on what I
should do to be able to produce clean 'unburped' sound?
Basic needs here: stereo tracks for background, one mono voice track.
Thanks in advance!
onboard intel chip, try this setting:
jackd -R -P 70 -dalsa -dhw:0 -p 1024 -n 3 -r 48000
-n 3 is sort of important for intel chips, according to what users are reporting (it is the number of periods per buffer).
-R is for realtime mode. Don't be fooled by the term "realtime", it's not exactly what this option is garantying. What it means here is that you allow jackd to access a privileged mode of operation (related to process scheduling).
If you as a user are allowed to do so can be checked or configured in /etc/security/limits.conf (see other discussion threads if you don't know about this).
-P 70 is the priority level for the jackd audio thread (the higher the number the higher the priority). Don't set it too high (like 99 or 100). There needs to be other things running at higher priorities than jackd. 70 is a good level for it.
I am currently using kernel 2.6.31.x (without any realtime patch on it, just the vanilla kernel and high resolution system timer) and I get outstanding performance with the -R mode. But you do need to set this up in /etc/security/limits.conf.
My laptop is an old Dell latitude D800, with an ancient intel chipset (ICH5). It can run at latency ~ 1ms for pure recording tasks (software effects is another thing though, as the CPU is only a pentium M at 1.6 GHz).
Thanks, Thorgal, for the explanation of the settings.
After resetting the settings in /etc/security/limits.conf and in Ardour 'Audio
Setup', I received this error message:
"cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority 10) [for thread 1740994286,
for thread 1740994286] (1: operation not permitted) cannot start engine"
So, I looked back in limits for a FIFO setting, and noticed there were default
settings (I'm not exactly sure whether I should disable or delete them):
* - rtprio 0 // tried deleteing, and also resetting to 70: same error
* - nice 0 // tried deleteing, and also resetting to -19: same error
@audio -rtprio 70
@audio -nice -19
@audio -memlock unlimited
user is in audio group; checked uname -r: I'm using te rt kernel
Also, I will need to add '-C hw:1,0' to capture the USB mic. Unfortunately, I
will need pulseaudio enabled in order to get any appareciable volume from the
Behringer C-1U mic.
What am I doing wrong? It seems the limits.conf isn't set up correctly
An update:
I tried changing -n 3 with the plain (non-rt) kernel, experiencing no xruns (so far). Settings fo jackd are:
jackd - d alsa -n 3 -P hw:0,0 -C hw:1,0
that gives decent response with the USB mic when Ardour is loaded.
Using the rt kernel with the suggested settings, no xruns show up (so far), but the USB mic is non-operational. It supposedly connects, but output hovering way below -30db showing no response to vocal input (seems to be background connection noise that is showing on the meter).
Is there something I'm missing here with the rt kernel?
Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.

I have a Remington 700 LVSF in .204 Ruger. I don't care for the cal. I'm wanting to have it rebarreled with a 20" or 22" medium-heavy weight barrel in either .22-250 or .308. I know that in doing this I'll have to have the bolt face opened up. My main questions are, will the .204 action hold up to either of these two cartridges? Is there a decent quality($300-$400 range) barrel out there? Pre-chambered, pre-threaded(ie those are done from where ever I buy the barrel from). Or rifeled blank finished buy the smith I take the gun to? What is the guest-imitation cost of this project? Thanks.

CARLSBAD — With California state parks in desperate need of funding, local nonprofit Friends of Cardiff and Carlsbad State Beaches, or FCCSB, has picked up the slack to support projects that improved North County's parks over the last year.
FCCSB held its annual meeting Nov. 18 to review and assess their accomplishments and fundraising efforts since the group formed in 2009. Board members have been meeting regularly since February of this year.
"It may seem like not a lot has happened, but once I had a chance to compile a list of the achievements, I was able to reflect on the sheer quantity of the things we managed to accomplish this year," President Kevin Dyerly said.
Dyerly highlighted several milestones for the group, including the near completion of Pelican Point, a raised platform rented out for weddings and educational events to generate funds; securing co-op association status by the state; beach cleanups; and successful events like Christmas in July and Beach Fest.
"We raised a lot of money from recycling at the campgrounds and Christmas in July," Dyerly said. The group has doubled its funds in the bank, while also spending more than $10,000 to compete various projects. "Now that has to last us the next six months."
California State Parks Interpretive Director and FCCSB board member Laura Ohman discussed scheduled events for 2011 that could raise funds and awareness for the group, like several scheduled Earth Day activities and the countywide Creek to Bay cleanup.
Fundraisers help Ohman continue her educational programming and other projects, many of which have been supplemented by FCCSB since its inception. The group's contributions have helped her purchase craft supplies and organize various events.
"We did 51 beach clean ups this year — all but three were in this sector," Ohman said. "We picked up 4,261.7 pounds of trash with the help of almost 2,600 volunteers."
Moving forward, FCCSB members hope to increase their fundraising efforts, especially with the failure of Proposition 21 in the recent election. California residents voted against the ballot measure, which would have increased vehicle license fees by $18 to generate money for state parks.
"The only good thing about Proposition 21 not passing is that our headquarters is now starting to look at partnerships and grants," California State Parks North Sector Superintendent Brian Ketterer said.
In addition to FCCSB's contributions, Ketterer is working on securing grants to help with large-scale projects around the parks. "We are in a very ugly state of 'what now?'"

In the dozen years I've been lucky enough to serve my Silicon Valley district, I've learned that it's not enough to have the right ideas. When you care about creating a better future, you must fight for it. And when I look around, there are few issues as important to fight for as saving Social Security.
It was 78 years ago that President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law. In doing so, he made a promise from our government to our seniors that we would allow them to retire with dignity.
I think back to my mother, who worked as a domestic servant her whole life and had no pension waiting as she entered her later years. Without the safety net of Social Security to sustain her, my mother would have fallen into certain poverty. This is the cruel threat faced by seniors I speak with every day.
It has been suggested that one way to make Social Security more solvent is to shrink the benefits that seniors have earned throughout their lifetimes by rationing retirement security with what's known as a chained Consumer Price Index (CPI), which changes the way inflation is calculated.
This would negatively affect veterans, the disabled and seniors with fixed incomes and would compound cuts that hurt future retirees harder as time goes on.
The average Social Security benefit amounts to a modest $15,000 per year, yet over half of recipients rely on this for the majority of their income, and more than one-third of all workers have no money saved for retirement. As monthly payments grow more slowly over time under a chained CPI, these folks will see significantly reduced benefits.
Both parties agree we face a looming retirement crisis. We should be working to ensure that government fulfills its promise to its people and increase core benefits through an enhanced cost-of-living calculator to better account for the rising health care costs that our grandparents and veterans face.
The program as structured also asks more from middle-class workers than those in the upper-income brackets because we stop taxing individuals on income over $113,700.
I have yet to hear one good explanation for that artificial cutoff. Those who earn more should be asked to pay the same proportion of their income into the program as those who earn less.
These ideas have been put into legislation that I will introduce with Rep. Linda Sanchez of Los Angeles and Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa.
Our proposal would increase Social Security benefits and extend the program's solvency for decades without decreasing anyone's level of benefits — current or future.
Many that want to cut future benefits are fond of playing Washington word games. They'll say they want to ensure that benefits for "current" beneficiaries are protected, which is a clever way to say they're open to cutting "future" benefits. This does not serve us well. We need to ensure that benefits are protected for both current and future generations.
Those of us developing a 21st century plan for Social Security have moved beyond ideas that are unworkable and unfair, such as raising the eligibility age, keeping the payroll tax cap in place or ignoring rising costs for seniors. In the end, there is no substitute for honoring the integrity of the program and adjusting to the realities of today's retirement security challenges.
We should "scrap the cap" and increase Social Security payments.
Issues this big are worth the fight, just as it was worth the fight 78 years ago.
U.S. Rep. Mike Honda (D-San Jose) represents the 17th Congressional District. He wrote this for this newspaper.

Derivatives of the ScanEagle UAV are proliferating, as Boeing exploits its ownership of Insitu, the company that originally designed it for commercial applications. At the Navy League convention, Boeing Phantom Works unveiled the MagEagle, a UAV equipped with a magnetic anomaly detector (MAD).
The MagEagle (pictured in full-scale model form) could autonomously localize and track a submerged submarine in deep or littoral waters, according to Boeing. It uses the compressed carriage design that Insitu revealed last year for box-launch from warships, but which is equally adaptable to air-launch. A Boeing official told AIN that the concept is on offer to the U.S. Navy "in case they change their minds over not having a MAD sensor on the P-8 maritime patrol aircraft."
Meanwhile, Insitu revealed that it is adding a "NanoSAR" to the ScanEagle. Carried in a second payload situated aft of the EO/IR sensor in the nose, the 15-watt, X-band system provides strip maps to a typical resolution of one meter via an onboard processor.

Vibes - Slacker
There's never a shortage of anthems for those on their grind, but what about those who are a little lacking in the "ambition" department—who's going to make music for the freeloaders, idlers, laggards and layabouts? A Slacker and proud of it, Vibes volunteers to fill that niche on the latest single off his forthcoming LP. PaperBoy Fabe handles production duties on this laid-back banger, flipping an electric guitar-laced sample from The Cardigans' Happy Meal II as the Jersey representative offers an irreverent look into the life of a "freeloadin', weed-smokin', motherf*cking burnout." He even throws a bone to the movie buffs, lacing his bars with references to some of cinema's most famous underachievers: "Livin' in these Fast Times, I'm so Spicoli / Me and the homies actin' all rowdy / The one and only—I'm me, no Lebowski." If you find yourself relating to this jam, you can expect more freshness on the artist's Booth-sponsored Bay Parkway LP, dropping soon for the low, low price of free (You won't even have to hit your up parents for cash!). Also, watch for the cut to appear on debut studio album King's Highway, coming in 2012.
