Route Grade Votings
Total votes cast 18
Adjacent Routes
Enjoyable and full-on for the grade. Climb the centre of the wall to the overlap, and make a difficult pull on to the wall above. Continue up the steep pockety wall above to a bulge at the top.
at the overlap DON'T go up the groove on the left through the rose bush.
Currently rather dirty and not worth more than one star. It's also not VS. Maybe it was in 1987 (when the Peak Limestone South guidebook came out) but if it was then it's certainly changed and it must have changed since being checked for the latest guidebook as it's now more like E1 5b! The description and diagram in the rockfax guide are not very helpful, the old guide was better -"(the overlap) is surmounted boldly just right of the groove".
I think RW is wrong about the grade in both respects (although not about the foot of the route being on the grubby side). I think it's bang-on VS 5a. The holds are really positive (and often substantial); there are plenty of opportunities to place gear and, because the wall is off vertical (like much of the crag), then you can keep your weight on your feet. We did this today having been first to Rheinstor, where we backed-off Loki (in my Rockfax guide at VS, 4c!)

School uniforms
Uniforms don't stifle creativity
I wholeheartedly embrace the idea of mandatory school uniforms for all students K-8 in Pinellas County. In fact, I'd love to see students wear uniforms all the way through high school too, but the opposition would be too great, I suppose. All 12 years of my school life I wore a uniform and it hasn't stifled my individuality or creativity one iota. Additionally, I have worn a uniform to work for the last 20 years of my adult life as well.
Kids know that if they want to work at McDonald's or Publix, or lots of other places, they will have to wear a uniform. They know it means there is a certain standard of quality, a sense of belonging and pride. Many professions demand their personnel wear uniforms, too: military, police, firefighters, nurses.
People in the business world also wear a uniform of sorts every day. Imagine a court of law where everyone wore T-shirts with spaghetti straps and/or jeans with their underwear showing. Can you imagine the judge dressing in such a manner?
There is a tone to the atmosphere and a behavioral expectation that is set when you dress for the situation. School is no different. Students need to be encouraged to dress for school, just as they would if they were working at a job. They should realize that there is a certain expectation as to the quality of their appearance and how they behave and project themselves to the world.
Margaret Dohrman, Clearwater
School isn't a fashion show
The ACLU has done some wonderful work in the field of human rights, but I do not believe school uniforms belong in their purview. The current dress code in nonuniform schools is a joke and is not enforceable without an absurd expenditure of time that could better be spent teaching. The uniform requirement cuts that time down, hence, allows more time to teach.
As for creativity, Albert Einstein was a student in an educational system that was almost military in its rigidity, but he grew up to become one of the greatest and most creative thinkers of all time. Stephen Hawking, an amazingly creative genius despite a dreadful physical handicap, grew up in England, where nearly all students wear uniforms.
Schools are for students to learn, not to indulge in distracting fashion shows. If students want to dress up, let them do so at home, after school hours. One can't be creative without knowledge.

The silent stress of the working spouse Sept. 26
Do your part at home
I am the working spouse in my relationship and my fiance is unemployed. I have a decent profession and support the household financially, but he takes care of the home. He does all the cooking, cleaning, yard work, and so on.
The man in this article does not even cook but sits in his chair asking what's for dinner when the spouse gets home from work. Get up and do your part. I have no problem taking care of the finances because my fiance and I are partners. He does his part. There are things we do without, but we find a way. This is due to his positive attitude and work ethic at home.
The problem with the relationship in this article is not that the woman works and the man is unemployed, but that his hurt ego and lack of pride get in the way of him doing what he should. Take pride in taking care of the person who takes care of you.
Christine Emmanuel, Treasure Island
Downsize, economize
After reading the woes of Julie Hopson as she works hard to support her unemployed husband and herself during these tough times, one must feel empathy toward her situation. Here are a few suggestions that may help lessen her stress:
Mr. Hopson, please have meals ready for your wife when she gets home. Do the housework so she doesn't have to. If the roles were reversed, I'm sure she would do it for you.
Every night is date night? Does that mean meals out? My wife and I don't do that and we both work.
Packing your lunch because you can't afford fast food is a good thing.
Ditch the cell phones and cable TV. Tough times call for tough measures.
Take a walk together. It will lower stress. Rent a movie from Redbox on Friday or Saturday night ($1). Sell the truck and get a smaller car. Do you have more than one vehicle?
While your unemployment benefits have restarted, try to think past the looming cycle of dependency created by government entitlement.
There are many ways to save and still enjoy your life as best you can.
Best of luck.

Race drags on in court battle | Sept. 26
Real gutter politics
This article on the legal battle between Kevin Ambler and Jim Norman has GOP lawyer Ryan Rodems referring to Ambler's challenge as "gutter politics."
Rodems is out of touch with the disdain of the people of Florida over the "real" gutter politics that seems to go on every day in this state and country.
Would Norman's wife, Mearline, have had so-called "investors" if it were not for her husband's position as a powerful commissioner? She's a housewife. I would like every housewife in the Tampa Bay area who has had the benefit of "investors" to buy a luxury home to come forward.
The gutter politics is how Norman conducted himself as a commissioner, drawing a $95,000 salary from the Salvation Army plus the use of a vehicle, then accepting the car allowance allotted by the commission.
The system is full of this type of behavior, such as Marco Rubio's influence in obtaining funding for the "Taj Mahal" and his use of the Republican Party's credit cards, and Ray Sansom's use of public funds to help his friends.
Yes, there are Democrats who have acted in the same way, but let's not forget why we voted so drastically in the last election for change. This administration needs more time to enact the change that is needed. And the Republican Party, locally and nationally, has demonstrated that they will sabotage every effort to make this change.
Diane M. Drake, Tampa
It's hardly comical
Having comic Stephen Colbert sit down at a congressional meeting and do a shtick ridiculing Congress itself was as demeaning an act as I've seen.
I'm not a tea party extremist, but I'm beginning to think a good housecleaning is what is called for. These people no longer represent us but only themselves. Just look at all the benefits they have given themselves, yet they fail to give those same benefits to those whom they "represent."
President Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." It seems most politicians have forgotten that's what they've been elected to do.

|Strength of Schedule Report
May 3, 2012
Prospects Will Break Your Heart
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: San Diego Padres
Prospect #1: RHP Casey Kelly
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: Kelly throws a lot of strikes, and advanced hitters can make hard contact on strikes. While you want a pitcher to have control (the ability to throw strikes), what you really want is for them to have command, or the ability to throw quality strikes, to be able to locate the pitch within the zone. The knock on Kelly coming into the season was that his stuff was good, but not good enough to survive loose adventures in the zone of quality opponents. He lacked a fear factor, and hitters settled into the comfortable environment. The fastball showing a little more punch will certainly help, as will the ability to drop the curve out of the zone, but hitters in the past have been able to square up Kelly's fastball, mostly thanks to its friendly location. The athletic profile and the repeatable delivery should allow the control to develop into command, and Kelly should emerge as a very good starter at the major league level. Until this particular aspect of the developmental process is complete, Kelly will be susceptible to hard contact.
Prospect #2: C Yasmani Grandal
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: Grandal is going to be a good hitter, and some people believe he will be a good catcher, but some also believe his defense behind the plate is substandard, especially his receiving skills, and that he could eventually be forced off the position. I asked multiple scouts in multiple organizations for their thoughts on Grandal's defense, and every opinion was different. Some thought he was much better than people realize, and that not only would his glove play at the highest level, but it would eventually play at a high level. Others were more pessimistic, not loving the body/athleticism, and calling the footwork below average, with little chance to be average. That's a wide range. What could go wrong is that the more pessimistic opinion proves to be accurate, and Grandal doesn't emerge as a qualified candidate to catch major league games. This seems very unlikely to me, and I'm not the biggest fan of his defensive profile behind the plate. The more likely scenario will find a fringe-average to average catcher, with some catch and throw skills and a mature approach to game calling. His bat will justify any shortcomings at the position, as Grandal has the swing and approach to offer above-average offensive production.
Prospect #3: C Austin Hedges
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: Scouts speak of Hedges's defense like I speak of Tom Verducci's smile, so his biggest professional obstacle will be the development of his bat. He's currently showing good contact, a good approach, and some game power, but there are some concerns about how well the setup and swing will play as he climbs the corporate ladder. He has a good swing, but his setup has some noise and his swing has some length, limiting his plate coverage and giving pitchers something to exploit. It remains to be seen how Hedges will fare in the Midwest League, but the more advanced the pitcher, the more likely they will be able to take advantage of the holes in his swing. His hit tool is never going to be a monster weapon, but if he can shorten up and stay inside the ball, he should be able to become an average (5) hitter. The power is the real mystery here, as some think his plus raw strength and swing characteristics are conducive for plus game power down the line, adding a very valuable dimension to his overall skill set to make him one of the best defensive backstops in the game. If Hedges can become an average hitter, with some pop in the bat to go along with his plus-plus defensive skills, he could be a perennial All-Star. The bat becoming an average tool is the key.
Prospect #4 OF Rymer Liriano
What Can Go Wrong in 2012: Liriano is an aggressive hitter, and he is especially susceptible to quality off-speed offerings. The swing itself has some violence, and is difficult to control within the zone once triggered. I had one scout say he didn't like the way his bat speed was generated, and that the loose swing often looked too loose and unstable. He will need to refine his pitch recognition skills and attack the pitches he can drive and avoid those that he can't, but he has shown the ability to make adjustments in the past. Despite owning all five tools, the ability to adjust to the level of competition around him might be his best attribute. Overwhelmed by the Midwest League in 2010, Liriano returned to the level in 2011 and overwhelmed the competition. Overwhelmed so far in 2012…..you get the idea. This prospect has a lot of backers, and when you see the tools, the work ethic, and the ability to make adjustments, it's hard not to join them. When I started this list, I didn't have Liriano in the top five; as I mentioned, I found it difficult to peg him and I had yet to see all the tools come together on one field. After spending the better part of three days researching him, I have a better handle on the player, and I can certainly see why some are so high on him.
Prospect #5: LHP Robbie Erlin
What Could Go Wrong in 2012: Erlin can throw strikes like he's a video game pitcher, but some of those strikes catch too much of the plate and find too many barrels. Because of Erlin's height (or lack thereof), when he fails to stay over the ball, he provides a flat-plane view to hitters. The combination of strike-throwing ability, a fastball that lacks the punch of plus velocity, and the potential for a flat-plane track to the plate can lead to hitters taking big hacks on balls that they can see very well. Erlin was going to struggle in a hitter-friendly environment like Texas, and he's likely to shine in the pitcher-friendly environment that is Petco, but he will face exploitation in any stadium if he can't hit his spots within the zone. Erlin might be a wizard when it comes to approach, but the reality is that regardless of his intellectual prowess and feel for pitching, he has a small margin for error, and his mistakes will be magnified.

Nice work, Jason! This is a great feature.
May 03, 2012 06:31 AM
I was quite impressed with Spangenberg this spring, as he looked very athletic, used the bat well, and made plays on both sides of the ball. He's obviously struggling so far this year, but you can't fake the athleticism and bat speed I witnessed in March. He needs to make an adjustment, but I think he has a major league future, and I think he can stick at 2B.
May 03, 2012 17:09 PM
Thanks, Jason. I've been looking forward to this for a while.
May 03, 2012 06:53 AM
The Padres gave up the better player, no question. I'm a big Rizzo fan; I think he has first-division potential and well-above-average bat speed. Cashner's arm strength is off-the-chart, and when the command comes around, he can develop into a frontline closer. I just wish he could start. That arm is remarkable.
May 03, 2012 17:14 PM
Thanks, Jason. I like Cashner, too. But giving up Rizzo for a relief pitcher was disappointing. I would much rather have given up Alonso in that deal.
May 03, 2012 20:16 PM
As a Padres fan, the answer to "What could go wrong" is usually "everything."
May 03, 2012 08:57 AM
Thanks. Another reminder how strong the Padres' system is. Speaking of which, I'm wondering if you got any good reports on Jace Peterson?
May 03, 2012 10:44 AM
He shows some baseball skills, like pitch recognition, and he was more fundamentally sound than I was lead to believe. He's a gamer with a lot of athleticism and developing baseball skills. It's a fun package to evaluate. The question that seems to come up is about his ability to stick at SS up the ladder, and if he has to move, how much slack can his bat pickup? He could be a tweener or he could develop into a major league regular. He has a lot of fans.
May 03, 2012 17:21 PM
As another reminder of what can go wrong four of the five players here have missed time this year because of injuries.
May 03, 2012 11:46 AM
I don't know if this is the appropriate place, but one scouting write-up I'd love to see is on Cory Leubke. You watch him, and he just doesn't seem like he should be as effective as he is. He was never a scouting darling, but somehow, that fastball really works well now. Curious to see why scouts think he's so effective.
May 03, 2012 11:50 AM
I had a scout this spring tell me that Luebke was going to be a quality #2/3 starter this year. I told him I disagreed. He told me to wait, watch, and see. Here'e the thing about Luebke: He doesn't let you beat him. He doesn't blow people away, and hitters can stay on his stuff, but he finds a way to close the door before he can be exploited. His fastball can be quite sneaky, which allows the two breaking balls and change to work beyond their range.
May 03, 2012 17:26 PM
David Martin
On Tuesday's Minor League Update, Kevin Goldstein commented that Gyorko's move to second could Get him to the majors quicker. Seems to me that learning a new position at this point in his career, particularly one that requires some athleticism that he reportedly doesn't possess, might delay his ascent to the majors. What do you think?
May 03, 2012 12:07 PM
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been away from the computer most of the day. I will offer a response to all questions later on tonight. Again, apologies for the delay and thanks for asking/commenting. #want
May 03, 2012 15:19 PM
Jason, please dissuade me from thinking of Erlin as an early Maddux.
May 04, 2012 10:55 AM
This will be easy. People tend to forget that early Maddux had plus stuff in addition to the crazy command. His fastball had juice; he wasn't just hitting spots. Erlin doesn't have the same type of raw stuff. He reminds more me of a Cliff Lee-light type; a pitcher that gets every ounce of their arsenal by changing speeds, hitting spots, using sequence, and out-thinking their opponents rather than blowing them away.

Lance Dunbar says he's 100 percent healthy; 'excited' about how he'll be used in Scott Linehan's offense
Lance Dunbar started to really show his NFL potential last year on Thanksgiving Day. The Dallas Cowboys backup running back carried 12 times for 82 yards in that 31-24 victory over Oakland.
But the 24-year-old's second NFL season was also ended that day. A left knee injury forced him to have season-ending surgery.
The good news is that Dunbar has returned to working out at Valley Ranch and says he feels completely healed.
"I've been up there since the end of last season, working out, trying to get healthy," Dunbar told All22Breakdown.com's Jordan Ross on Monday. "It feels great to get back to work with my teammates, though, and seeing their faces. It's been a while, everyone's been doing their own thing. Now we're all getting back in the right frame of mind. We all have one goal and that really starts today."
Dunbar was referring to the voluntary workout program that started Monday at the practice facility.
"I'd say that I'm at 100 percent," Dunbar said. "I've been able to do everything now for a couple of weeks without any restrictions. I'm feeling pretty good. I'd definitely say I'm 100 percent."
Dunbar also told Ross that he has briefly met with the Cowboys' new offensive play caller, Scott Linehan. The 2012 undrafted rookie free agent out of North Texas could see more opportunities catching the ball out of the backfield in Linehan's scheme.
Detroit Lions running backs Reggie Bush and Joique Bell combined to catch 107 passes last season in Linehan's system. Dunbar caught seven passes for 59 yards in nine games in 2013.
"I'm very excited about working with him," Dunbar said. "I've seen the things he did with the guys in Detroit. He utilizes all of his guys and knows how to get them the ball in space. He plays to their ability and strengths.
"I think I have a good chance to get out in space with screens and stuff and make a lot plays. We have so many weapons and Linehan will make sure he uses all of them so the defense can't zero in on one or two guys. It's going to make things harder and more confusing for defenses."
Dunbar figures to be the No. 2 back behind Pro Bowler DeMarco Murray this upcoming season. Joseph Randle, last year's fifth round pick, should also see touches as the team's No. 3 option. A fourth running back on the depth chart could come in next month's draft or possibly immediately after via an undrafted rookie free agent.

James Varnum
I want to let you know that I was at Hill Cemetery and could not locate your Varnum. I contacted the superintendent for cemeteries and he indicated that there are currently no records for James Varnum at this cemetery. Are you sure he is buried at Hill? I will be looking at other cemeteries in the area and will keep my eyes open if I see his grave anywhere.

Varnum, Hill Cemetery
I have tried to fulfill your photo request. Unfortunately the only markers that I could find with the name Varnum are Josiah and Lucy Rowe. I have uploaded photos. In comparison to the rest of the plots in the cemetery, there is a large area adjacent to these markers left open (no marked graves). Perhaps they had a large family plot and the other graves were not marked, the other graves once had markers which deteriorated over time and are lost, or their family members were buried elsewhere.

Rose Hill has over 1700 interments and I have searched every section for your relative. There are other ALLENs at Rose Hill but not Thomas. If you contact the office and find the correct section and find out whether or not he has a marker, I will be glad to re-visit to take photographs.

How did he propose?
We were on a cruise to the Bahama's. It was so sweet and romantic- besides the face that hapf his crew was with us, lol!
No proposal for me. Just got married because according to my mom "it was the right thing to do." Yes, I was pregnant and I did want to marry him just not 9 months pregnant by the Justice of the Peace. Yeah, that was my special day. Did I mention I was in shorts? Yup that was my fancy wedding dress.
i was told i was marrying him lol i just looked at him and said what? he said oh is that ok lol love him soo much.
we were laying on the couch and i was teasing him about getting married and it got all quiet and he said "are you mad at me?" and i said no. he said it again and i said no. finally he said it again and i yelled "no im not mad at you! stop asking me!" and he got up and said "im not asking you if you are mad at me! im asking you to marry me!!! but if you dont want to thats fine......" and he started to walk away and i stopped him and said i would love to marry him and thats how it happened.
umm we were walking through the mall randomy looking at rings and what not waiting for our movie to start.. and he bought the ring right then and there... no proposal.. lol. We had talked about it when he got orders to move here to WA but never got into details... until then lol
He took me to Galveston and we had dinner and then went for a walk on the beach and he proposed. He also dropped my ring in the sand it was dark we found the ring but it scared the crap out if me.
We had an amazing day, he ran in a marathon and he finished! We had been up since 4 AM, after a very lonnnnnnnnnng day, we finally had dinner with his kids in a great restaurant and then sent them back home to thier mom. We were back at our hotel, ready to settle in with some good TV and a drink or two. He said "Honey I was wondering" and he was on his knees, I looked at him and he said "will you marry me?" he held my ring in his hand. I was shocked, I had no idea this was coming - then I smacked his shoulder, he had the ring in his pocket for the whole race! I said are you crazy??? Anyway, I love the ring, I love the man, and I never thought it would happen to me.
Oh I'll never forget that day!! I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for some friends, and Hubby and his buddy left to the store to pick some things up I needed! Well when they came back Hubby walked into the kitchen got down on one knee holding a plastic container from a cheap ring machine. I thought he was joking. So he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I said yes. He then opened the box and inside was my engagment ring!! I flipped out because I was not expecting a real ring. Lol.
I was working and having a bad night. I was a server in a bar we were super busy and I was putting in 8 tables drink orders at the computer and I turned around and he was down on one knee and he asked me to marry him. It was in front of all my regulars, and my bartenders. My tips increased that night. lol
were were in our kitchen and I was talking to his sister about the baby ( I had just found out I was pregnant) and he said to me " so you wanna, you know do it." I said "do what" and he said "get married". I said ok then he went fishing with his sister's boyfriend. So romantic....lol

After several months of private beta testing, 123 People has launched its people search application in the U.S. As Webware notes, this service competes with services such as Spock and Wink. It's different from many other people search engines in that it scours popular sites such as Flickr and Facebook to come up with everything from possibly correct e-mail addresses to other information.
These days, it's often easy to reconnect with a colleague you've lost track of by looking through the social networks, but not always. I decided to test 123 People to see if it could find information on several online writers that I worked with years ago and had lost track of.
After a series of test searches for three writers I used to work with but had lost track of, I definitely find 123 People useful. It found concrete e-mail address probabilities and physical addresses for two of the three writers (and the third is a woman who I believe has a different last name than she used to, so not finding her is forgivable).
You can tell that the fundamental difference between 123 People and other people search engines–how it scours social networks and sites such as Flickr–is in place. For example, you can see in the suffixes of some of the e-mail addresses it returns that it scours these types of sites.
123 People also has a blog post up detailing some of this: "Type in 'Barack Obama' you are greeted with images from popular social networks like Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, and Google and Wikipedia. Want to follow Obama on Twitter? find all Obama related Twitter accounts with 123 People, as well as blogs, weblinks and real-time news clippings from CNN, NYTimes and WSJ, all presented in a dynamic hub."
If you're in search of lost colleagues or need to find someone for any reason, give it a try.

Penelope Delilah Bosley was born on 07/17/07 at 8:50 at home! 20 days past due according to my EDD! The birth was beautiful! Mark is totally sold on home births now What I think really did the trick to get me into active labor was the acupuncture I did, the doctor said all the woman she has induced never had to come back for a forth visit. Three always does the trick.
I got the third treatment on Monday, and started having contractions that night. I was at park group on Tues. feeling really crummy and having contraxs 5-7 min. apart: Nothing to different then what I had been feeling for the past month. Mary told me to go home (Thanks Mary!) I had a prenatal appointment at 2:00, and had called Mark to come home from work early because I wasn't feeling good. When Sunshine checked me I was 4-5 cm dilated, I started to cry I was sooooo happy: and she stripped my membranes a little.
She left and I tried to take a nap. An hour past and at 4:00 pm they were coming a little stronger. Sunshine was in my driveway, she said she knew I was having my baby and didn't want to leave. I had wonderful breaks in between my contractions where I was laughing and talking
At 8:00 pm I was 8 cm and having intense contarxs, but still having really nice breaks in btwn. At 8:40 I was still 8 cm and the baby was still high. I started pushing to bring the baby down and the baby crowned 9 minutes later! Pushing was really hard and I didn't think I could do it, I was not having any breaksL I feel for the woman that push for hours! So I went from 8 cm to baby in my arms in 10 min!: About 4 1/2 hours of active labor total
She looks past due, wrinkly skin, long hair and nails with peely skin. Weighing a petite 6.8 lbs She needed the extra time. She is very alert! It is unbelievable! Mama is doing good too! Amon and Naomi LOVE the baby sooo much, maybe a little to much at this point
I wanted to thank everyone in being so supportive in the decision we made to have a home birth, hopefully we have set the stage for any future home births out there. I highly recommend it, a much, much different experience then the hospital and I can honestly say that at no point I wanted to go to the hospital or have any pain killers. It is amazing what your mind and body can do when you really want something
And to all the moms that are thinking about going to the hospital, just wait, it is really really worth it!
Sending Love,
Sarah and Baby
congratulations!!! sounds like a wonderful birth! and i love penelope's name!!! hope you have a fantastic babymoon!!
huzzah! congrats mama...enjoy your babymoon and welcome to the planet litle one!
Bright blessings to you and your family. Congrats!!!
hurray!! congratulations mama, I'm so glad things turned out great for you!

Germany plans Holocaust crematoriums museum
24 October 2005, ERFURT, GERMANY - A factory in Germany where the crematoriums for Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps were built, is to be turned into a Holocaust museum, the city of Erfurt said Saturday.
24 October 2005
ERFURT, GERMANY - A factory in Germany where the crematoriums for Auschwitz and other Nazi concentration camps were built, is to be turned into a Holocaust museum, the city of Erfurt said Saturday.
It will provide a permanent home for an exhibition that began earlier this year at the Jewish Museum in Berlin.
The "Technicians of the Final Solution" exhibition describes how an ordinary German engineering company, which did not go out of business until 1994, built the crematoriums.
Apparently it was fully aware that the SS forces of the Nazi Party were killing people in hundreds of thousands at Auschwitz.
The company, Topf und Soehne of Erfurt, also provided a ventilation system for the Auschwitz gas chambers. Topf was mainly a builder of brewery plants with crematoriums as a sideline.
The city of Erfurt, capital of Thuringia state, is in negotiations to buy the former Topf office building to house the exhibition later, municipal culture chief Karl-Heinz Kindervater said.
The exhibition, which includes company records, photographs, writings of concentration camp inmates and remnants of the crematoriums, is to open Sunday in Erfurt's civic museum.
Topf did not have to take orders from the SS. It pursued the business and took the initiative in "improving" the devices, said the head of the Buchenwald concentration camp memorial, Volkhard Knigge. The engineers were not rabid Nazis but ordinary Germans.
Work for the SS accounted for only 2 per cent of Topf's overall sales and could have been dropped without imperilling the company.
Germany's existing museums to the Holocaust include the documentation centre at the Holocaust monument in Berlin and memorials at many of the concentration camps where inmates died of disease and privation.
Auschwitz, in modern-day Poland, received inmates from other concentration camps to be killed by poison gas.

Fantastic hotel
A family orientated hotel.
Room was clean with a kettle and tea and coffee provided as well as wine glasses, towels, soap and shower gel!All staff(especially Shaun and Nunu) were fantastic. They went out of their way to help give advice and make sure our stay was perfect. The hotel is near to a Bonus and opposite a KFC. There is also a lovely bistro nearby( recommend the lamb soup).The hotel has its own bar and family room. Alcoholic drinks from the bar are London prices (1000ISK for a pint) but otherwise this is a lovely hotel. We had a lovely view and the continental breakfast was yummy. We will be returning!!.

Mata'afa is a high chief title[1] in Samoa under the country's Matai system of socio-political governance where individuals are bestowed with family names.[2] The historical seat of the Mata'afa title is in Amaile in the Atua district at the east end of Upolu island.[3]
The title was vacant from 1997 (with the death of Mata'afa Fa'asuamaleaui Pu'ela Patu) to May 2011, when it was bestowed upon Mata'afa Tupuola Lui, "an 83 year old village chief of Amaile village".[4] After his death in 2014, the title again fell vacant.[5]
Title holders[edit]
Holders of the Mata'afa title include;
- Mata'afa Iosefo (1832–1912), a rival for the 'kingship' of Samoa during the country's colonial era.
- Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u I (died 1948), a leader of Samoa's pro-independence Mau movement.
- Was married to a daughter of high chief Malietoa Laupepa.
- Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II (1921–1975), son of Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u I. First Prime Minister of Samoa.
- Was married to Laulu Fetauimalemau Mata'afa (1928–2007).
Title was then bestowed upon Mata'afa Puela Faasuamaleaui Patu until 1997 when he passed away
- Their daughter Fiame Naomi Mata'afa, a high chief and a senior cabinet minister in the Government of Samoa.

The big news is the news that isn't – still no Shirokuma-san ED. The clock is ticking.
Shirokuma Cafe's grand tour of Japanese holidays continues this week with Hina Matsuri, the quite famous "Girl's Festival" (boys get theirs in May, though sadly it appears we won't see Shirokuma's take on it). This was a chapter that featured an overdose of cuteness, always in the cards when Baby Emperor and King Penguin are in the house – and this time they brought a few friends. I was wondering why these chicks were celebrating Hina Matsuri so enthusiastically – was it possible I'd guessed their genders wrong (well, obviously it wouldn't be a stretch)? But no, of course this was yet another PBC pun, as we're reminded that the Kanji in "Hina" are the characters for "Baby Chick".
The lesson learned here, I suppose, is that Grizzly-kun really is good at everything. With his typical growly bluster he steps in and shows the kids (who must be perceptive, because they weren't scared of him at all) how it's done when it comes to setting up the Hina decorations (no yams whatsoever). Grizzly seems to have basically given up on his hibernation (not hikikomori) at this point, as he's waking up before Polar Bear even has the chance to call him. He's less than impressed, however, that the chicks are the only Hina around after all his work, and that means drafting a reluctant Sasako-san into the role (Grizzly must have had to wrestle that kimono off Shirokuma-kun by force). There's a little bonus here as Handa-san shows up and with the door blocked by the decorations, ends up eavesdropping as Panda-kun and Penguin-san interrogate Miss Sasako about her love life and Mr. Handa specifically, but sadly she's either too clueless or too clever to offer a substantive response.
As is so often the case, the second chapter is more heartwarming than comedic, but it's these episodes that really bring home just how much I'm going to miss these characters when they're no longer a part of my weekly routine. There is some hilarity, as Shirokuma-san gets sick and goes to the animal doctor – which sounds kind of somber until it's revealed that the doctor is in fact a Tarsier – which is either the cutest or ugliest animal on Earth (possibly both). The notion of Tarsier-sensei as a little old man with oversized spectacles is an outrageous sight gag of the highest caliber – I was in stitches from the moment he appeared.
As for the rest of this number, it's just good, basic sentimental friendship stuff. Panda-kun and Penguin-san visit Shirokuma-kun and earnestly try to help, though their efforts are questionable in their efficacy. They discover while searching for recipes that Shirokuma-san keeps an album full of pictures of himself and Grizzly-kun as cubs, and of his new friends as well – proving that he's quite the sentimental fellow himself. Shirokuma being too sick to crack more than two puns in a row is serious business, but fortunately Grizzly shows up in the nick of time to take charge (both Panda and Penguin have joined Shirokuma in sick bay). For all the wisecracks and needling that goes on, everyone in this cast is always there for each other when it counts – even Panda-kun. It's corny but it works, at least for me – friendship never gets old as a theme. As to Panda-kun's request to Penguin in the preview that he get him a chance to talk to Bill Gates, I think that's one area where friendship can only carry you so far.

A LIFE punctuated with skydiving adventures, scuba-diving, military service and volunteering for St John Ambulance certainly provides a bit of perspective.
While Eastern Heights dad Gavin Maxwell is a bit of an adrenalin junkie - having completed more than 500 parachute jumps - he also has his feet firmly grounded when it comes to considering the needs of others.
His experience in helping nurse injured patients during his time with St John served as a vivid reminder of the constant need for blood donations.
Since first putting his hand up to donate his blood to the Red Cross in 1988, Mr Maxwell has provided a staggering 92 litres of plasma to the cause.
"I was with St John Ambulance for 10 years, and we got to see a few people hurting themselves at shows and racing tracks," he said.
"You soon realise that people need blood."
The sales representative will be one of 200 south-east Queenslanders to be recognised by the Red Cross Blood Service this week as part of National Blood Donor Week.
Recently surpassing 100 blood donations, it is estimated that Mr Maxwell's generosity has helped save the lives of more than 300 other Australians.
Blood Service spokeswoman Bernadette Dias said Mr Maxwell's donations had potentially improved the lives of hundreds, including new mothers, cancer patients and people undergoing emergency surgery.
National Blood Donor Week is a celebration of Australia's 500,000 blood donors, who together made more than 1.3 million donations over the past year.
To become a blood donor, call 13 14 95 or visit donateblood.com.au.

Rita Ora: I speak fashion
Rita Ora has likened her easy approach to fashion to a second language.
The 22-year-old singer appears on the cover of Hunger magazine where she explains how her style has evolved.
In a behind-the-scenes video, the Hot Right Now songstress says clothes are a way for her to express herself.
"My shoot today was fun, it was cool I had my best friends here [Cara Delevingne] and my team. It was a good, fun shoot which was just about dressing up. Fashion to me is just like a second language, I really love it because it started off as a hobby where I used to collect magazines and rip out cool images," Rita tells Hunger TV in a behind-the-scenes video. "When I started working and I had some more money I could buy the things I loved and it's just another side of me I feel like I don't have to explain. With singing and song writing you have to explain what you are writing about but with clothes you just wear them, and go 'hi'."
Since shooting to international success with her hits including R.I.P., Rita has caught the eye of many of fashion's biggest names. With designers queuing up to dress her, the stunning star revealed which labels are her favourites.
"My favourite designers, well I love the legend of McQueen, I love the simplicity of Calvin Klein," she reflected. "Valentino is also one of my favourites, red is my favourite colour and that's his signature and also he's really cool to look at! A cool, suave young chap.
"I love just graduated students too, like Ashley Williams and J.W. Anderson, who isn't new but kind of is. British designers to me, are really good at the moment."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Gonzaga University women's basketball head coach Kelly Graves, who in qualifying USA Basketball for the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship for Women helped the 2012 USA U18 Women's National Team to a perfect 5-0 mark and the gold medal at the 2012 FIBA Americas U18 Championship as an assistant coach, will return in 2013 as an assistant coach and once again help lead the USA U19 World Championship Team in its quest for a fifth-straight gold medal at the U19 Worlds.
The University of Miami head coach Kate Maier will be the head coach with Graves and Nikki Caldwell of Louisiana State University acting as assistant coaches. The coaches, all of whom will be serving their second stint for USA Basketball in 2013, were selected by the 2009-12 USA Basketball Junior National Team Committee and approved by the USA Basketball Board of Directors.
"I'm thrilled about this," said Graves. "Last year, the entire experience was one of the greatest things I've ever done. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Working with Katie and Nikki was phenomenal. I learned so much from them, and I'm actually using a few of the things that we ran. I've had some success with it this year. It's been nice to keep in touch with them, and I consider them good friends as well as colleagues. I loved it, and I'm really looking forward to doing it again."
The USA U19 squad will compete in the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship, hosted by Lithuania from July 18-28 in Klaipeda and PanevėÂÂ?ys. The FIBA U19 Worlds will feature 16 teams with athletes 19-years-old or younger (born on or after Jan. 1, 1994). While Lithuania earned an automatic berth to the tournament, the remaining 15 nations were determined by the five FIBA zone qualifiers in 2012. In addition to the U.S., nations qualified out of the FIBA Americas zone include Brazil (silver medalist), Argentina (bronze medalist) and Canada (fourth place). Senegal (gold medalist) and Mali (silver medalist) will represent FIBA Africa; advancing from FIBA Asia are China (gold medalist), Japan (silver medalist) and South Korea (bronze medalist); Australia took FIBA Oceania's spot after wining the best-of-three series against New Zealand; while FIBA Europe will be represented by France (gold medalist), Russia (silver medalist), Serbia (bronze medalist), Netherlands (fourth place) and Spain (fifth place).
The draw to determine the four preliminary round groupings was held on Jan. 17. Drawn into Group D, the U.S. will play its preliminary and second round games in PanevėÂÂ?ys, and opens against Lithuania on July 18, followed by China on July 19 and caps the preliminary round against Mali on July 20.
Trials to select the 12-member USA squad will be held May 16-19 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center (USOTC) in Colorado Springs, Colo. The team will regroup for training on July 1 at the USOTC prior to traveling to Lithuania for the competition.
"This coaching staff did a remarkable job last summer with the USA U18 National Team, optimizing the skills and contribution of each player," said Sue Donohoe, executive director of the Kay Yow Cancer Fund and chair of the 2009-12 USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee. "They built a cohesive team on the sideline, which resulted in a great melding of talent on the court. With only nine healthy players available for the gold medal game and an early double-digit deficit, Katie Meier, Nikki Caldwell and Kelly Graves showed confidence that their team would fight back for the win, and it did. USA Basketball brings back three extremely talented coaches, who collectively built foundations of cohesiveness and teamwork last summer. The committee looks forward to this extraordinary coaching staff leading the USA U19 World Championship Team to a gold medal in Lithuania this summer."
Originally known as the FIBA Junior World Championship, the tournament was held every four years starting in 1985. FIBA changed its calendar in 2006 and now conducts the U19 World Championship every other year. USA women's teams are 57-12 in the U19/Junior World Championships, capturing a fourth-consecutive gold with an 8-1 record most recently in 2011.
Numerous top athletes have represented the United States at the U19s, including Alana Beard (2001); Essence Carson (2005); Tamika Catchings (1997); Crystal Langhorne (2005); Jantel Lavender (2007); Lisa Leslie (1989); Rebecca Lobo (1993); Maya Moore (2007); Nnemkadi Ogwumike (2009); Vickie Orr (1985); Courtney Paris (2005); Cappie Pondexter (2001); Katie Smith (1993); Dawn Staley (1989); Breanna Stewart (2011); Diana Taurasi (2001); Abby Waner (2005); and Candice Wiggins (2005). Additionally, eight athletes from the first seven USA U19 squads have advanced to compete in the Olympic Games, including Catchings, Leslie, Lobo, Moore, Pondexter, Smith, Staley and Taurasi.
In addition to Donohoe, the 2009-12 USA Basketball Women's Junior National Team Committee included NCAA appointees Joanne Boyle (University of Virginia), Coquese Washington (Penn State University) and Connie Yori (University of Nebraska). The athlete representative is current University of Notre Dame associate coach Beth Cunningham (1999 USA Pan American Games Team member).

For strategic planning and development, a business analyzes its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats known as, "SWOT." A business developing a plan to increase its customers may need to prepare for upcoming changes to legislation such as changes to taxes or pricing that could threaten sales. Similarly, other threats could result from environmental changes, seasonal products, changes in policy of staff retention and major competitors.
Identify the Threat
Before a threat can be overcome, it has to be identified as an external or internal threat. External threats involve demographic and economic factors as well as issues of changes in technology and social, cultural and political factors stemming from outside of the business. Internal factors involve activities within the firm itself such as products to be discontinued, training on new systems, or the impact of a loss of a major contract.
Assess the Position
Once the threat has been identified, the next step is to assess how informed and prepared the business is to be able to overcome the threat by analyzing its political, economical, social and technological impacts on the growth of the market and the business. If the analysis determines that the threat is serious, it requires action. Alternatively, it may be determined that it is safe enough to be ignored.
Identify the Resources
Developing a plan to overcome threats requires both tangible and intangible resources. Tangible resources are financial resources and physical assets that are identified as value in a business' financial statements. Intangible resources are not as obvious as tangible assets because they are not visible but often contribute as a competitive advantage such as image, the business' technology, and human resources skills. Identifying resources determines how capable a business is to handle the threat.
Implement a Plan
Depending on how critical the threat is and how well prepared a business is will ease the ability to implement a plan to overcome threats to a business. A well prepared business with a good reputation, a strong brand name, and distribution advantages may be able to use its strengths to turn the threat into an opportunity thereby reducing the business' vulnerability. A weak business with a high cost structure, for example, may face external challenges before being able to implement a plan.

WHITTIER >> When parts of the made-for-TV movie "Christmas in the City" were filmed in Uptown Whittier, the merchants along Greenleaf Avenue split about $1,500 and one store, Pour Le Bain, got an extra $300 to cover the cost of decorating its windows. The city of Whittier collected some small fees.
It isn't a big pay day for the city when movies are filmed in Whittier.
"I have to be honest and say that filming does not add much to our local economy here in Whittier," said City Manager Jeff Collier. ""Film production companies pay a relatively small fee for our film permit (currently there's $400 application fee), and when they come into the community, there are pretty much self-contained — they have their own food service, construction crews, etc."
It's a similar story in Pico Rivera, where portions of the films "Collateral," "Urban Cowboy" and many other movies were filmed.
The city recently reduced its fees for simple shoots from $700 to $350 and for complex film shoots from $2000 to $700, according to Raymond Chavez, assistant city manager.
Marilin Brinegar, board member of the Whittier Uptown Association, said the merchants only get small change from the film shoots.
"They don't eat at our restaurants, they don't do anything for us," she said.
But despite the lack of economic incentive, both cities saddled up with the California Film Commission to make California more film friendly. Both have amended their city ordinances on filming movies to align with the commission's statewide Model Film Ordinance and Best Practices.
"Whittier has sought to assist the film industry by streamlining our film-permit process," said Collier. "Whittier sees the value of this industry to our region, and City Council took steps to help filming occur locally while seeking to balance the impacts that can occur."
The revised filming standards were part of the Whittier's economic development strategy and one of the reasons Whittier was named Most Business Friendly City in Los Angeles County in 2012, Collier said.
In addition to reducing fees, Pico Rivera extended its standard filming hours by three hours, letting the film companies shoot until 10 p.m. The city also reduced the notification radius for filming from 300 feet to 200 feet. The new ordinance also reduced the percentage of residents and businesses that must approve a project under certain conditions from 100 percent to 80 percent, according to Chavez.
Whittier made similar modifications to its film ordinance.
But the battle to keep filming in the state isn't going to be won or lost in Pico Rivera or Whittier, according to the city officials.
Though Pico Rivera has instituted a formal film permit liaison to provide assistance to applicants throughout the filming process, the city does not currently have incentives for film production companies, said Chavez.
The situation is similar in Whittier.
"Beyond our efforts to streamline regulation, there really isn't much the city of Whittier can do to provide incentives to assist the film industry, as their challenges are beyond the scope of what we can address at the local level," said Collier.
The film industry is an important part of the economy in Southern California, directly and indirectly creating a lot of jobs, he said.
But the solution to the state's "filmmaking flight" problem is more a matter of state taxes and regulations than the permitting processes of local governments, said Collier.
"It's unfortunate that California is not as competitive for filming as other states," he said.

Within hours of the attacks, British ministers began considering measures to curtail civil liberties in the name of national security as Tony Blair ordered a full-scale review of anti-terrorism laws.
The most dramatic proposal is the introduction of identity cards. David Blunkett, the home secretary, is looking at a voluntary "citizen's access card", which he said would make it difficult for someone who did not have one - be it a terrorist or an illegal immigrant - to stay in Britain undetected.
New laws to prevent money laundering across national boundaries are also a priority.
The government's campaign for a new EU-wide law to force internet service providers and telephone companies to keep all phone, fax, email and internet records for an indefinite period in case they are needed for criminal investigations will be strengthened. Last week, the national high-tech crime unit requested all internet service providers and telecommunications networks to retain all logs on emails sent and received and numbers and destinations of telephone calls and faxes.
Stuart Millar
The country's anti-terrorist security plan, Vigipirate, went into operation the day after last week's attacks, with police on heightened alert around the country and stations, airports and major public buildings under round-the-clock armed guard.
In Paris, 1,000 CRS riot police and 700 soldiers have been called in to reinforce the capital's 3,400 regular police officers. Identity checks have been stepped up and litter bins and bottle banks sealed for fear of bombs.
One consequence was that not a single robbery was reported in Paris last weekend, compared with up to 100 on a normal Saturday.
Jon Henley
The government is looking into ways of stemming the flow of funds to extremists operating in the country, following revelations that at least seven of the suspects in the US attacks studied in Germany, where they are thought to have taken advantage of generally liberal legislation.
Gerhard Schröder has announced that his cabinet would soon pass measures to outlaw Islamic organisations who abuse their religious status. The law of association gives religious groups a special protected status. The idea of a less rigorous data protection law has also been floated.
John Hooper
The ruling coalition is discussing a law that would curtail civil liberties and expand the powers of the military in the event of a terrorist or conventional attack.
The rightwing prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, told his cabinet that a revision of the self-defence law should be considered.
According to domestic media, the changes under consideration would allow the army to build barricades and dig trenches on private land without permission from the owners.
Jonathan Watts
It has launched a sweeping crackdown on suspected Islamist fundamentalists and upgraded security measures at airports and key government buildings. The authorities have also clamped down on public demonstrations.
Two militants were arrested in Brussels last Thursday. One was believed to have been planning an attack on the US embassy in Paris.
Andrew Osborn
National identity cards are compulsory and authorities have advised people to carry them at all times.
Security has been tightened in certain areas, particularly around Alicante where Mohamed Bensakhria, believed to be Osama bin Laden's right hand man, was arrested last summer and extradited to France.

This past Wednesday legendary singer-songwriter Jackson Browne performed a career-spanning set at The Ferguson Center For The Arts in Newport News, Virginia and welcomed a local hero and a longtime friend/collaborator to help out at various points during the show – Bruce Hornsby.
Bruce first appeared with his mountain dulcimer and helped out on vocals for Browne's I'm Alive and then switched over to the keys for the title track from Jackson's 1996 LP Looking East. Later in the evening Hornsby – along with Val McCallum, Sara Watkins and Sean Watkins – teamed up with Jackson Browne for a riveting take on Take It Easy. Here's a clip of Take It Easy…

It is going to be a hectic month. I was part of the vegetarian panel at the Friends of Animals conference on "Animals, Nature, and the New Millennium" in New York City the first weekend of October. In the middle of the month VRG will be exhibiting at the National Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences Annual Session in Baltimore, MD. Many of the attendees are 4-H leaders. I will be presenting a seminar on the basics of vegetarianism, so please stop by the booth or seminar if you are planning on attending. Charles Stahler, Debra Wasserman, and Suzanne Havala, MS, RD will be traveling to Denver, Colorado for the annual American Dietetic Association Meeting. VRG will be exhibiting, so if you are there drop by and say hello. While in Denver, VRG will also be holding a vegan dinner at the Mercury Café on Monday October 16th. The dinner is open to dietitians attending ADA annual meeting, VRG members, and the general public, and the deadline for reservations is October 5th.
If you are local to the Baltimore area, don't forget to attend Debra Wasserman's quick and easy vegetarian cooking demonstration at Fresh Fields in Mount Washington, Baltimore on November 4th, 2000.
Please remember VRG in matching gifts at work, United Way, and federal employee (CFC) campaigns. You can read more about donating to VRG at: www.vrg.org/donation/donation.htm.
I spent the weekend of September 22-24 walking the massive floors of the Natural Products Expo. I sampled from a wide array of new foods and products and also revisited some current favorites, which I had first learned of last year.
The folks with Heartland Fields were not only very friendly, they also had some delicious soy-based products. I tried their soy barbecue, which was very tasty. They also produce soy steak strips, made with organic textured soy protein. The products are both vegan and the soy steak strips are also gluten-free, offering an alternative to seitan products for those with wheat allergies http://www.heartlandfields.com.
Putney Pasta has several vegan products, including soy ravioli, potato gnocchi, black bean and habanero Pepper ravioli, porcini and roasted garlic gnocchi, and sweet potato gnocchi. They also have family and food service sizes available and several colleges are using their products (for info: firstname.lastname@example.com).
Personal favorites from the samples offered included Aura Cacia lavender bath salts, which impart a fantastic fragrance http://www.auracacia.com. I kept dropping by the Santa Barbara Olives booth, with their ample bowls of olives stuffed with everything from almonds to garlic to jalapeño. Their products approach nirvana for the olive lover http://www.sbolive.com. Chili Today, Hot Tamale had some kettle style chips flavored with cracked pepper and balsamic vinegar that I'll be keeping my eye out for. I was never fond of yogurt, but I really enjoyed the samples of White Wave's Silk soy yogurt I tried http://www.whitewave.com. Loco Soda has created a lime based soda with added chili extract http://www.locosoda.com. Sweet Organics was passing out small packages of organic cinnamon twists. I was dubious, but these puffed pastry snacks made with corn, wheat, and soy were quite good.
Sunergia Soyfoods now has an even wider variety of flavored tofu and soy "sausages." The new tofu line includes Indian Masala, Peanut Ginger, Soy of the Sea (with seaweed), and Spinach jalapeño, which join their existing flavors of Porcini Herb, Italian Herb, Savory Portabella, and Garlic Shiitake. They use organic soybeans that are non-gmo. Their soy sausages come in Spicy Italian, Chorizo, Smoked Portabella, Breakfast Style, and Mild Italian http://www.sunergiasoyfoods.com.
I didn't get a chance to try them, but several staff members and friends enjoyed the jerky from Vegi Deli. One person commented that it was much tougher and chewier than other vegetarian jerky he sampled http://www.vegideli.com. I talked to two vegan winemakers, Frey Vineyards http://www.freywine.com/ and LaRocca Vineyards http://www.laroccavineyards.com/. Road's End Organics, makers of Macaroni and Chreese, are planning on introducing a vegan "cheese" dip http://www.chreese.com/.
One product I noticed that appeared vegetarian at first glance, but most definitely was not was Midwest Harvest's Bratos, a tofu and pork mixture. They have several other vegetarian soy-based products, but be sure to read the label on this one!
There were so many new products, that I'll have to continue this in the next issue!

KELSEYVILLE >> Worldwide Healing Hands (WHH) raised nearly $10,000 for its mission in September to Sierra Leone with a hiking fundraiser.
"This money will save the lives of many mothers, as we will use it to train local doctors and midwives," Dr. Paula Dhanda said. "This makes our work sustainable."
This will be the organization's sixth mission, but the first to the West African country.
"Sierra Leone has one of highest mortality rates during childbirth," Dhanda said. "One in eight mothers die due to complication from childbirth."
The country has a population of approximately six million, but only one OB-GYN, Dhanda said.
An approximate six-mile hike up Mount Konocti was ventured by 30 people during the Hike 4 Healing fundraiser.
The idea for the fundraiser came from a study that WHH conducted, according to Dhanda.
"When we went to Nepal, we did a study to see how far women traveled," Dhanda said. "On average, women traveled 100 miles. They would travel for three or four days to come to this medical appointment."
The fundraiser was meant to be symbolic of the travel those women had to take, Dhanda said.
According to its website, WHH brings "together teams of physicians, nurses, physical therapists and other healthcare workers to bring relief to women and children suffering from the lack of health care that of us take for granted."
The organization accomplishes this by partnering with medical providers and other organizations to mentor and train medical and nursing students at mission locations, according to the website.
According to Dhanda, 100-percent of donations received by the organization go to the mission. Doctors, nurses and volunteers involved with the two-week mission pay their own way and donate all of their time. Contact J. W. Burch, IV at 263-5636 ext. 39.

For object arrays the ufuncs look to the objects themselves for implementation. In this case. The ufunc tries to call the log method of each entry in the array. The first entry is a float (which as the error shows) does not have a log attribute and so you get a failure. -Travis

At 10:50 a.m., the line into a gymnasium at Doolittle Community Center, 1950 J St., in Las Vegas' historic West Side, was 100 people long. Across the street from the building, Obama and Hillary signs were anchored into rosemary bushes lining J Street. Workers for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama asked everyone who entered who they were for and whether or not they needed help registering or figuring out what precinct they belonged to.
While the center is holding six precincts, but the line into the gym holding two, Precinct 4461 and 4028, was the fullest and, not by chance, most confused.
"Please listen up!" a volunteer said. "4028 is on the south side of the gym and 4461 is on the south side."
"You mean north side!" someone yelled.
"Oh lord!" another groaned from the line.
"I wonder if it's just confusing here, or if all these caucus meetings are this way," said Douglas Tanner, 22, who waited in line with Winston Branch, 25. The two native Las Vegans had never been to a caucus, never knew what to expect, but were drawn here, with hundreds more, because of their belief in Barack Obama.
"He really sounds like someone who would be different," Tanner said. "Hillary sounds like she says the same thing over and over and over."
