Jailed protesters cast shadow on anti-Putin rally
MOSCOW (AP) — About 20,000 protesters thronged Bolotnaya Square across from the Kremlin on Monday, a year after a protest at the same spot turned violent on the eve of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration.
Monday's turnout — far less than the 100,000 or more who marched through Moscow with giddy optimism ahead of Putin's election to a third term — reflected a wariness that has sapped energy from the protest movement.
As a result of last year's protest, 27 people face charges that could send them to prison for up to 10 years. Some are battle-hardened opposition activists, but just as many are ordinary Russians who had joined anti-Putin protests for the first time last year.
Portraits of the prisoners and officials involved in the case lined the stage Monday, while several speakers read letters that the defendants sent from jail.
Here is a look at some of the people involved:
The youngest of the defendants at 19, environmental activist Dukhanina has spent the past year under house arrest, allowed visits only from her lawyers and close relatives. Investigators have charged her with throwing rocks and bottles at riot police, although they later found that the policeman listed as the victim in the case was unharmed. She faces up to eight years in prison.
A first-year student and former marine, 21-year-old Lutskevich was attending his first protest. When riot police seized a female friend of his, Lutskevich said he tried to help her. He was beaten so severely that his body was still covered in red welts when he appeared in court. Investigators accused him of throwing pieces of asphalt at police and ripping off one of their helmets. He has been in jail since June and faces up to eight years in prison.
Arrested at the protest in a black suit jacket and tie, leftist activist Akimenkov, 25, is accused of trying to break through a police barrier and hide in the crowd. While behind bars, a serious eye condition he suffers from has significantly worsened to the point that he is almost blind. Despite notes from doctors that he should not be held in jail, Akimenkov has been denied bail. He faces up to eight years in prison.
The commercial director of a tourism firm whose only activism had been to help stray animals, Arkhipenkov was detained while walking out of a metro station near the protest. Despite having had no plans to take part in the protest, Arkhipenkov was held in prison for two months, where his lawyer said he was forcibly injected with unspecified psychiatric medication. He was later released on bail and faces up to eight years in prison.
A gym owner and bodybuilder who has never been part of any political movement, Luzyanin was subdued with a stun gun, arrested and held incommunicado for two days after investigators found photographs of a masked man with Luzyanin's rippling physique fighting policemen. Luzyanin, 36, entered a guilty plea and paid the dental bill of the policeman whose tooth he was accused of chipping. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
Lebedev was arrested in October after state-controlled television ran a documentary-style film purporting that he and two other activists, including leftist protest leader Sergei Udaltsov, had met with Georgian officials to organize terrorist attacks and the violent overthrow of the government with money from rogue oligarchs in London.
Lebedev initially denied the accusations, but pleaded guilty earlier this year, testified against the two other activists, and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison. Former associates have accused him of serving as a stooge to undermine the protest movement. Udaltsov, who remains under house arrest, faces up to 10 years in prison.

Volume 22 of O'Reilly Media's MAKE Magazine is loaded with remote control projects. Everything from The Kitty Twitty by Marc de Vinck to a radio controlled lawnmower called "Lawnbot400" .
Gareth Branwyn asked "innovators and enthusiast" from the industry what's on their radars for his article. Since the issue was all about remote control, Gareth pinged our very own Jason Winters for his thoughts on how remote control has changed and where it's going.
"Today, by using the internet to send control signals, range is no longer limited by transmission power. Any location with a net connection can be a potential command point."

Lansing Builds a 'Scaffolding for Plunder'
GOP Representative supports
Historian James Coffield once described the British income tax system as "scaffolding for plunder." Michigan has its own version — hordes of government tax-borrow-and-spend authorities like Downtown Development Authorities, Corridor Improvement Authorities and at least 10 others that get little public or media attention, have minimal accountability, and once created are almost impossible to dismantle.
A new bill introduced by Rep. Joseph Haveman, R-Holland, would create yet another version called "neighborhood enhancement districts," with the power to impose higher property taxes (special assessments) to pay for a wide range of projects favored by local planners. The scheme is designed to "empower" locals to raise yet more money to enhance their area, but what it really enhances is local government taxes, spending and power. No vote of the people would be required.
Stay Engaged
The bill would empower local planners to borrow and spend for faddish projects such as pavilions, amphitheaters, snow-melt systems and surveillance equipment, the razing of "nonconforming structures," and yet more government recreational programs and facilities. Governments could also increase property taxes without a vote of the people to promote the area, and to provide broadband or other telecommunications services.
There is much wrong with this bill.
- It gives local governments yet another tool for dunning taxpayers, and does so during a trying economic time.
- Projects sold as enhancements necessarily diminish taxpayers: There are no free lunches, so ultimately this bill just transfers resources from the many to enhance a few.
- The value of this spending is highly dubious. For example, government-run recreation facilities and amphitheaters are notorious money losers that almost always require ever larger taxpayer subsidies to maintain. Even if they did generate revenue, that would just be an argument for leaving it to the private sector.
- In units with local prevailing wage laws, money may be wasted simply paying union scale wages for the construction projects and due to distortions that arise when government escapes its proper limits. For example, had not a state film subsidy program skewed local government incentives, the city of Allen Park would never have taken on massive debt for a film studio whose collapse has brought the city to the edge of bankruptcy and the appointment of an emergency manager.
In addition to Rep. Haveman, this proposal is cosponsored by Reps. Lyons, Price, MacGregor, Crawford, Heise, Yonker, Wayne Schmidt, Roy Schmidt, Haugh, Shaughnessy, Kowall, Foster, Dillon and Howze.

Wild left wing Matt Cooke gets 7-game suspension from NHL for kneeing Avalanche defencemanNHL.com @NHLdotcom
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota Wild left wing Matt Cooke has been suspended for seven games by the NHL for a knee-to-knee hit that injured Colorado Avalanche defenceman Tyson Barrie.
Cooke was at the league office in New York on Wednesday for a hearing about the incident, and his punishment was announced about eight hours later.
The Avalanche lead 2-1 with Game 4 set for Thursday night, so Cooke will be out for the series and more. He played a key part in Game 3 for the Wild in quieting Avalanche stars Nathan MacKinnon, Paul Stastny and Gabe Landeskog. Cooke was given a minor penalty for clipping Barrie, who will need four to six weeks to recover from a medial collateral ligament injury to his left knee.

OMAK An Okanogan driver was shaken but not injured Sept. 27 when her vehicle crashed into The Chronicle office building at 618 Okoma Drive.
Marylee Canter, 84, apparently hit the gas pedal instead of the brake. Her vehicle jumped the sidewalk along the building's south side and hit a wall.
The impact damaged the exterior siding and buckled the drywall inside. Chronicle advertising manager Lynn Hoover was standing in the office, but was not injured as the impact sent a file drawer flying open.
The Chronicle remained open. No damage estimate for the building is available yet.
The Omak police and fire departments, and LifeLine Ambulance responded.
No citation was issued; the Omak Police Department considered the crash non-reportable.

From precise heat control to smaller energy bills, propane cooking equipment is the perfect ingredient for homeowners who dream of a professional-caliber kitchen. An attractive, stainless-steel gas range that combines a propane cooktop and oven is perfect for space-challenged homeowners, while propane also offers commercial-grade ranges, indoor grills and cooktops, in-wall double ovens, and other gas cooking applications in luxurious custom kitchens. In all cases, propane gives the homeowner ample cooking performance and precise temperature control in a wide variety of product designs.
To find the right range or oven for your home or business, visit our Product Directory and filter by "Kitchen Products." Using propane cooking equipment also helps make your projects eligible for the Propane Construction Incentive Program, which offers up to $1,500 per home. Check out other rebates and incentives for propane cooking equipment here.
High-performance gas ranges, cooktops, and ovens are preferred by a majority of professional chefs and designers, for their own use as well as for their clients'. Why? Propane ranges, cooktops, and ovens allow for greater control of heat levels. Instant-on burners allow cooking to start right away. Propane burners are also instant-off. This capability provides a safety feature not found in electric cooktops, which can remain dangerously hot for a few minutes after they've been turned off. A propane burner's instant-off feature also allows the food to start cooling immediately and prevents overcooking.
Beyond these core benefits of propane burners in ranges, cooktops, and even indoor grills, propane kitchen appliances also offer:
Propane cooking equipment is an effective option for newly constructed kitchens, replacing aging and inefficient equipment in existing facilities, and kitchen space fit-out for new owners/tenants. New propane-powered, Energy Star certified equipment is 10 percent to 70 percent more efficient than standard equipment, depending on product type. Replacing older equipment can reduce utility costs while upgrading features, quality, and style of the equipment.
Propane cooking equipment typically lasts eight years or more in most commercial kitchens, which generally outpaces electric counterparts. The larger size of commercial cooking equipment also puts propane ahead of electric units. For example, large capacity fryers, with 40 gallons of oil or more, are almost exclusively gas-heated units. These high capacity units offer significant benefits for efficiency levels, heat recovery time, and production rates.

Norton Internet Security
January 12, 2010, 06:27 PM »
OK, I bought a new mini, Toshiba Satellite T115-S1100 with Win 7, all the features I wanted except it came with Norton's installed. On first boot I ran the removal tool and all seemed to go OK at first. The computer rebooted and connected to my network & the internet fine and took me directly to the Norton site to beg me to re-install it. Of course I declined, Norton then proceeded to destroy my network and internet connections.
Not just on that particular computer but on all 5 computers!!!
It closed the wireless connection between my Digital Path wireless modem & Digital Path's wireless hub, it closed the wired connection between my router and the wireless modem, it closed the connections between two wired computers and three wireless computers to my router and left me with absolutly NO connectivity on or between any of my computers. All modems, routers and hubs are Linksys.
After rebooting everything and re-configuring everything I got 3 of the 5 computers back up but still have had no success with the two that had Norton's pre-installed.
Does anybody know what files Norton's leaves on your computers to continue "bending you over", And how to get rid of them?

I've never seen anything like that happen. I remove Norton all the time. It's standard procedure when we start working on a new location, remove all existing AV software, and install the same product, same version on all workstations that are worth saving.
I don't get it... if you're removing it on one machine, why would that effect the other network devices ? It just doesn't follow... I think you've got something else going on in your network. Sounds like coincidence to me... And I've never seen Norton's come back and ask you to re-install the product, you sure the website was a Symantec website ?

Yep auto opened IE and went to Norton's.
I've never had it shut down everything either, even routers, the problem with the other PC's was probably when the router went offline.
Immediately after closing the Norton's site all the computers lost their internet connection and connection to each other. Rebooting the router didn't fix the internet connections since the Digital Path unit on my roof had also had it's connection to the Digital Path hub across the street shut down. Rebooting it then rebooting my router brought back the Internet connection on all computers, but neither of the PC's that had Norton's on them at one time can log onto the home network anymore. They see it and a couple of the computers but not all 5 and if I try to access the shares I get an "incorrect password" message on the win7 machine and a "you don't have permission" message on the win xp machine. I have had this network up for 8 years through 3 different routers and switches so I'm pretty sure I know the password and work group names.
I'm assuming Norton's modifies a Windows .dll file and stays resident and I'll need to replace that .dll with the original windows unmodified version but I have no idea which one and have been unsuccessful finding the info.

OK, I have to write the Digital path crash off to bad coincidence. Unless you run some sort of client connection software for the DP unit... Is your router/DP unit just a gateway ? Or do you run some sort of Linksys/DP client software ? I'm assumming that DP is some sort of microwave ISP in your area.
Do you use static addresses on your network ? You should, if the machines came back with different addresses after the netwark crashed, that could explain why they're acting all stupid, like they don't know each other. Oh, that's another assumption, that you're not running anything crazy in your network... no servers, no active directory ?
It really doesn't sound like a piece of software did this, if it were the Norton, it would only affect the one machine in question. I would look at other reasons why your network crashed. Do you have all of your hubs/routers/switches/modems plugged into a battery backup ? The more complex your network, the more important good power is.
Your problem with logging into shares may be that the Win7 machine isn't passing your credentials the way you intend it to, or that the removal of Norton has re-enabled your Windows firewall. If your host machine is prompting you for a username/password when you try to access the share, use the syntax hostmachinename\username. It maybe that win7 and vista would pass clientmachinename\username, causing a bad username/password response from the host machine. Vista and Win7 really suck in the peer to peer networking department. Life was so much easier before Vista...
So, static addresses all around, and get yourself some battery backups if you don't have them all ready. Once you get the network put back together, it will be more reliable going down the road.

*Sam, yes that's how I removed it, the very first time I turned on the computer and before even allowing Norton's to activate the free trial.
*Must - Yes everything is on a battery back-up, not even 6 months old yet. I did find something on the Win7 machine, it originally accessed the other computers fine on the boot after immediately after removing Norton's and dismissing that auto pop open of IE to download Norton's. At some point though the Win7 machine was re-assigned as a member of a domain rather then a workgroup, I fixed that but still no joy. Since all the PC's are not assigned static IP's but let the router assign them, I may need to reboot all around again, I'll give that a try.
If that doesn't work does Win7 include the command line utility 'netsh' ? Guess it repairs the TCP/IP stack & Winsock, I found info that that usually repairs Norton's damage, but all the references to it are for Win XP.
Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults, type: netsh int ip reset reset.log
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog
Guess I could do a search huh?
No special connection software on the Toshiba like on this Thinkpad, I hate this Lenovo/IBM connection manager thing, makes a stupid simple job an hour of selecting options, but it didn't like it when I killed it from loading.
No software involved with Digital Path, they mount a wireless unit on the roof and point it at their repeater and run a cat5 cable into your house and to your computer or a router, good for 5-10 miles reception at 3.5 mbs and I'm under 200 yards direct line of sight from it, trouble free except when my 2.4g rooftop unit went down once, they replaced it with a new 5.8g unit and no drops for 3-4 months now except when they do maintainence, that never requires a reboot on my end though, be quite an improbable co-incidence but it could happen.
I have a new in the box XP Pro SP2 and a corporate XP Pro slipstreamed to SP3, have seriously thought a few times about wiping everything back to pure XP & Office Pro 2007 and be done with all the proprietary and trial software headaches. I miss the days you could build your own for the same price you could buy one, but you can't build a laptop at home.
I just know Norton's messes with my network, even after uninstall, Rhonda's laptop originally could connect fine then it quit, I removed Norton's and magically there was the network in seconds with no problems .... for a month or so then all connections disappeared again although she can access the internet and somehow still print to a printer on another computer even though she can't see that computer. I can access her computer from any other though so I just push any files she needs to her rather then her pulling them. A pain but not as bad as running a "Sneaker Net" on floppies like the old days.

Win 7 does include netsh. Some of the sub-commands have changed (most notably "diag"
), but
erface looks to be the same.

Thanks Sam, I do need to try that on Rhonda's anyway, it's XP. Not connecting to the two desktops isn't a big deal anymore since they are hardly used but one has the printer and the other a backup drive so it's nice.

OK, this is just getting really bizarre. Did you join the machine to a domain on purpose ? That doesn't just happen on its own, you have to authenticate to the domain in order to join it. If you were joined to the domain, you are subject to all of the domain policies that are in effect on the domain controller. That could account for your user credentials being AFU in your workgroup environment. I suppose...
It sounds like you have been pretty well immersed in windows networking, and should be able to use this as kind of a check list of best practices...
-a static IP for any machine that is sharing a resource.
-a mapped drive connection on any client that is accessing a shared folder on another machine.
-matched user names and passwords on all workgroup machines
-I like to map my drive connections by using the IP of the machine\resource name (192.168.1.100\share)
-check the permissions and security tabs in the shared folder properties to make sure that the assigned users are individually assigned rights to the resource. Don't rely on assigning permissions to a group (users, power users, etc). Be granular, define each user in question.
You have battery back-ups... so many people don't recognize the importance of that. We don't sell equipment without one, even if the customer has an isolated ground outlet, they get a battery.
Your ISP provides your internet the same way I tie together corparate intranets. I am actually installing a point-point tomorrow, to tie in a 10 user network in a separte building to the rest of a corparate network in the main building. I've heard that ISPs use the microwave equipment for getting internet to their customers, but never come across an actual implementation of it. Seems like a very expensive initial start-up for each client, did you have to buy your own roof equipment, or do they lease it to you ? The 100 meg PTP that I'm doing tomorrow is 8-10 grand, our cost, and it's not really even true 100 meg.
Good luck putting the network back together, hopefully some of my suggestions will help to make it more reliable for you.

usually a $200-250 hook-up fee in rural area's, $50 in town, being the first to call once they got setup we got in on a $100 inital hook-up with a full refund for 30 days if not pleased.
They are a local company that has developed their own equipment and do sell it to anybody wanting to start their own internet service to otherwise unreachable areas. A nice feature for me is you get a roaming log-on, anywhere you see a digitalpath repeater you can connect, they use standard B,G,N frequencies and protocalls so you don't actually need that rooftop unit if you are close enough. The reciever though is what get's them the distance although it's just a 6" square box. Each rooftop unit also acts as a repeater so I can log-on through DP.com (The main hubs) or DP.net (anybodies rooftop unit) I usually only have to drive a few blocks to find a signal here in Chico.
Oh and for $10 a month more I can get 1 or 2 phone lines and for $20 a month I can get a second roaming only account so I don't kick home offline if I log-on while roaming. Home service, equipment, taxes & fees is $42.95 rural, $32.95 local, Rural is 3 mps down (I get 3.5) and 700kps up (I get 1 mbs), local is 6mbs down 1 mbs up. They'll provide a router & firewall if needed no extra charge but I had my own so declined. It's the future if they can get it expanded beyond nor cal IMO.

O K so Windows 7.0 and your Issues may also be a Two way street... YOu have probably been told that 7.0 would run software like Vista and XP just fine. THIS IS NOT A FACT!!! While Beta testing the new 7.0 our group of people found that Over Half of the software would CRASH and Colide within itself and cause Numerous Problems...
The ANSWER to the issue that we found was the UPGRADE to 7.0 Pro which has the Interface that allows Vista and XP to run right on top of 7.0 It stop all our system crashes among the software that we were testing. From routers to just Basic software. Now Granted this May not be the case in point for you. However it ,ight solve a lot of your problems.
Something to think about as a whole. and ask questions about at your local high end TECH SUPPORT place.

No old software installed yet, brand new, I've done nothing but get rid of the Trialware, but thanks for the pointer to Pro being more compatible if I should need to use any of my older stuff, I've resigned myself to having to update my favorite graphics program but a little utility called PicaView is also indespenable to me, it was made for Win95, so far it's worked fine but I'm scared Win7 won't like it and no replacement has ever been made. I honestly don't think it can be set to run in compatibilty mode either though since it is a context menu hack and single .dll photo info, viewer & converter.
I haven't fought anymore with it yet, I got it to the point it can access my wireless connected computers, just not the two wired computers & it connects to the internet so my basic requirements are met. It's just not 100% and that will bug me.

Chairman, directors elected for CSIA
Stephen M. Goldberg was elected to a three-year term as chairman of the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA). Goldberg succeeds Ed Diehl, who completed his term in April.
There were three new directors elected to the board at the association's annual executive conference:
- Eduardo Acosta, chief executive officer, Omnicon S.A., Cali, Colombia
- Richard Brueggman, president and chief executive office, Data Science Automation, Pittsburgh, Penn.
- Sam Hoff, president, Patti Engineering, Inc., Auburn Hills, Mich.
Lynda J. Patterson, CAE, FASAE, continues as president. Robert Lowe is the association's executive director.
Goldberg is director of information technologies at Matrix Technologies, Inc., a Certified CSIA member based near Toledo, Ohio. Among his top goals is to increase recognition of CSIA with end users.
"We want CSIA to be first resource companies turn to when looking for help with system integration challenges," Goldberg says. "As part of this effort, we hope to build the reputation of the organization and acceptance of the CSIA certification program as the way to optimize the results for any system integration project."
During Diehl's term, CSIA membership grew by more than 12 percent and increased the association's presence in the international control systems integration community. Diehl is co-CEO and vice president of engineering and operations at Concept Systems, Inc., a Certified Control System Integrator headquartered in Albany, Ore.

Recent changes to U.S. laws, including the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the end of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), may have improved access to health care for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals, according to an issue brief released in January by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The brief also highlighted the latest health and marriage data among LGBT individuals in the U.S.
According to the Kaiser brief, a 2012 Gallup poll estimates that 3.4% of Americans, or more than nine million people, identify as LGBT. Many LGBT individuals face daily struggles with stigma, discrimination, violence and even rejection by their own families or communities. In addition to these personal struggles, they may also face barriers such as inequality in the workplace and health insurance sectors, substandard health care or denial of insurance coverage.
There are no special circumstances or health issues that pertain only to the LGBT community. That being said, there has been research suggesting that major conditions such as HIV, mental illness and substance abuse are typically significant health concerns for some LGBT subgroups, as are sexual and physical violence. Moreover, a recent literature review found that self-identified LGBT individuals are more likely than heterosexuals to rate their health as poor, have more chronic conditions and have higher prevalence and earlier onset of disabilities. Overall, LGBT people report more asthma diagnoses, headaches, allergies, osteoarthritis, and gastrointestinal problems than heterosexual individuals, according to the brief.
Recent changes to national policy may help to reverse this trend, the brief suggests. The ACA alone will extend coverage to millions of uninsured persons through the expansion of Medicaid in some states, as well as the creation of new federally subsidized health insurance marketplaces. As of January 2014, individuals can no longer be denied insurance due to a pre-existing condition, such as HIV infection, mental illness or a transgender medical history. Additionally, new private plans are now required to cover recommended preventive services without cost sharing, which would include screenings for HIV, STIs, depression and substance use.
Discrimination, which has played a heavy part in denial of coverage in the past, ideally should no longer be an overwhelming issue. Section 1557 of the ACA prohibits discrimination based on sex, defined to include gender identity and sex stereotypes (but not sexual orientation), in any health program receiving federal funds. Separate federal regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services governing the health insurance marketplaces and plans offering the essential health benefits bar discrimination in insurance provisions based on sexual orientation and gender identity. (A separately released issue brief from Kaiser more deeply explores the impact of the ACA on health insurance coverage for HIV-infected people.)
The brief also states that, in addition to the ACA, the end of DOMA has afforded more LGBT individuals with access to health care, by extending access for some LGBT families to a range of benefits, including dependent health coverage and family and medical leave.
In summary, the Kaiser brief suggests that health care access and coverage may be looking much better for the majority of LGBT individuals. However, there is still much research to be done in regards to the outcomes of recent changes in policy. Although health insurance may be more available to individuals, it's unclear how affordable it will be in the long run, since the ACA fluctuates in price depending on the number of individuals enrolled in each specific health care plan.

Because I had a blood clot in college, I was transferred at the beginning of my first pregnancy – three years ago -- to an exclusively high-risk OB practice. The doctors there were, in a word: thorough. While I appreciated the close oversight with regard to my blood thickness levels, and – as a first-timer -- jumped at every chance for an ultrasound I got, I soon realized the down-side to a highly medical, closely monitored pregnancy was that the line between peace of mind and potential panic was a thin one. But since I'd been sent to the high-risk practice from the 'regular' OB upon handing over my medical files, I assumed this was how my pregnancy had to go down. When it came time, around twelve weeks, for a slew of genetic testing, I didn't question whether it was all necessary or helpful. I didn't know what most of the disorders that the tests were intended to detect even were, but I suspected they weren't anything good, and I figured it'd be reassuring to get the all-clear when the results came back.
Long story short, I didn't get that 'all clear' until after I'd been called (on the day before my wedding) and told I carried a gene for Spinal Muscular Atrophy. (Which is pretty much what it sounds like, and nothing I'd wish on any baby or family, ever. It's not actively expressed in me, obviously, or I wouldn't be alive right now.) There was only an extremely slight chance it'd be present in my kiddo, and that's only if Aaron – my hubs – carried the gene, too, and only then if our genes paired up in such a way as to pass the disorder along. If they did, it still wouldn't guarantee the disorder would be actively present in the baby. We're talking super unlikely overall statistical probability here. But I had to sit through a meeting with a genetic counselor who lacked any sign of human empathy or bedside manner before Aaron was even tested, and then – thankfully, and not surprisingly -- the whole thing was moot. Aaron doesn't carry the gene, and thus our baby definitely couldn't either. (No one in my family has ever had a baby with SMA, by the way… I later learned from my aunt, who's a Physician's Assistant, that it's such a rare disorder that there's some debate over whether it's even worth testing for in the first place. Of course, no one told me this before I was tested, and scared to death in the process.) After this experience, I continued to roll with the high-risk pregnancy protocol, but I didn't get quite as caught up in the paranoid culture that is American pregnancy today. By the time I was due, my doctor told me I was the healthiest high-risk patient he had. For all of that medical oversight, my baby had developed just perfectly in my body, and the testing hadn't had a hand in that everyday-miracle at all.
This time around, I knew I'd likely need to work with a high risk OB again, but I wondered what the possibilities were for a more laid-back pregnancy, given the constraints. I want to be safe, of course, and ensure my baby and I are both well, but I don't want to be induced – something I was told, last time, was mandatory with a blood clot history on the books – and I want to feel calm and confident in these months leading up to delivery day. I found an OB who handles both high and low-risk pregnancies, and met with her early on; she knows I want a natural birth, so that's what we're mutually shooting for. And in the meantime, we've already had some lengthy conversations about everything from the flu shot to in-hospital water birth to, most recently, genetic testing. Because it's that time again; we're coming up on twelve weeks preggers, and I had to make some decisions about how much I want to "know"… and how much I think these tests really matter. (The answers to these questions are definitely different for everyone.)
I was tested for so many things last time, and we know I don't carry Fragile X and a host of other genetic abnormalities (and that I do carry SMA, but Aaron doesn't), so there's no need to run those tests again. But I'm also taking a more proactively minimal approach to testing during this pregnancy, in general. As we looked at the list of possible tests, I asked my doctor specific questions about what each is for, what the results might mean, and so forth, before simply letting her check off every box on the page. I've chosen to have a sequential screening done; that's the standard, basic test to check for Down Syndrome and neural tube defects. And that's the only box we checked.
I know a mom who was tested for absolutely everything while she was pregnant, turned up no abnormalities, and gave birth to a (beautiful, wonderful) daughter with Down Sydrome. For whatever reason, it didn't show up on the tests. I know another mom for whom an amnio was recommended by her doctor, who thought her baby might have Down Sydrome; the amnio ruled that out, and it was correct. I have yet another mom-friend who recently delivered her fourth child. She chose not to have any ultrasounds or blood tests at all, from start to finish. Her baby's totally healthy. This friend said that she trusted the natural processes of pregnancy pretty well by kid number four, but also that she wouldn't have changed anything had some test shown her baby had a problem; for her, there was no point in testing anyway.
I don't actually know what my response, feelings or course of action would be if I was told something was really wrong with my unborn child. I'm not going to put myself through the 'what if' game with that. I've faced the unexpected before, as a parent, and I know the unexpected is the risk we take – it's guaranteed, in some form or another – in becoming parents in the first place. But I'm focusing on taking pregnancy a day at a time, with positive intentions for a perfectly healthy, happy baby at the end up this nine months. In the back of my mind, I'm aware that a very small percentage of families have babies with extremely rare and debilitating genetic problems. (I read this article the other day and was saddened and unnerved, to say the least.) But I'm determined to have a Fear-Free Pregnancy, and, for me, that means taking it easy on the medical side of things whenever possible. It means enjoying the time between OB visits, rather than holding my breath, anxiously waiting to see the baby on the ultrasound screen again, proving everything's okay. It'll mean opting for less monitoring during labor, assuming all is going as planned, so I'll be free to move around the hospital delivery room as I would at home. It means, in the meantime, whenever I'm tempted to freak myself out on Google because I forgot the deli meat rule and ate a ham sandwich (or because I felt a weird cramp, or because I walked belly-first into a door frame in the middle of the night... yeah, that happened), taking one look at my handsome, healthy little boy, and reminding myself I've done this before. I've grown a baby. Worrying is not required. I can do my best to eat the right things and not be a total klutz, but I can't ultimately control this process. I can trust it, though, and I do. I appreciate having a great doctor, but I don't need a test to tell me that this everyday-miracle is happening again. Go 'head, growing baby, work your magic.
How much genetic testing did you have during pregnancy? Did you opt out of any of it? What about other standard operating pregnancy procedure? (Any no-ultrasound mamas out there?) Did you have any tests that were totally helpful and changed the course of your pregnancy or led to certain decisions? Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

VCSU internships offer career experience
In the working world, there is the age-old argument of the value of experience versus education, but Valley City State University is providing its students an opportunity to gain both through its internship program.
Marcia Foss, VCSU's Director of Career Services and Internships said the college tries to identify employers who might be able to provide a work experience similar to what the student is studying.
"It needs to be meaningful work, so they're not just standing at a copier."
Foss said there are currently twelve VCSU students interning in a variety of career paths, including the Barnes County Museum, the State's Attorney's office, the Highway Patrol, the State Hospital, the Chamber of Commerce and the Abused Persons Outreach Center, to name a few. In the past, students have also logged intern hours at Walt Disney World and at legislative offices in Washington, D.C. The internships can be paid or unpaid, and the student works for a minimum of three course credits.
"It's an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom to a work setting," Foss said. "The practical experience helps in their job search, and a good recommendation can be really critical in helping them find a job."
VCSU student Anna Fuka, a sophomore from Lidgerwood, N.D., is majoring in Exercise Science with minors in Psychology and Coaching. She is also a distance running standout on the VCSU cross country and track teams, and was recently named to the all-DAC Team in both sports.
Fuka began an internship at The Legacy Place in January, and essentially began building an aerobic regimen for the residents from scratch.
"We implemented lower and upper-body exercises, and three days a week we are in the cardio room," Fuka said.
Developing water wellness exercises, an employee wellness program and On the Move activities like "aqua-cise" in the facility's saltwater pool have been part of Fuka's practical experience at Legacy.
"We chose a variety of exercises and assess each person individually to see how much they can handle, from low, medium to high intensity," she said. "A lot of my classes are targeted toward things that I use here, like different muscle groups, and the importance of mental and physical wellness."
On a physical level, working on flexibility and range of motion can help reduce the risk of falls and injuries. Especially for seniors, exercise provides endorphins for fighting depression and boosts self esteem, which is important at this stage in their lives.
"It gives them a little more energy," Fuka said."I know for some of them it's opening their options up to learn that wellness can still be an option for them."
Tamie Gerntholz, RN and Administrator at Legacy, said without Fuka, the idea for an exercise program would've gone undeveloped.
"I have seen strides in (residents') confidence, and I know we've kept several people from having to go to long-term care just by bringing them in here to exercise a few times a week," she said.
"Tamie called and told me her idea, and it really fit in with our exercise science major, so it was kind of a no-brainer," Foss said. "It's been a great experience for Legacy Place. (Anna) wanted to have the experience and it will certainly build on her resume. She's basically volunteering her time."
For Fuka, her work at Legacy has really been an eye-opener in terms of choosing a career path.
"With my strength and conditioning major at VCSU, I thought I would want to work with young athletes when I got older, but now I think I want to work more with the elderly population. They're a lot of fun and they really put me in a good mood."

March 5, 2011
After receiving a strong Friday afternoon start from senior pitcher Jesse Meaux, UCSB got a taste of its own medicine on Saturday, falling to the Sacramento State Hornets by a score of 3-2. Sacramento's pitchers, starter Dallas Chadwick and relievers Andrew Galvan and Brandon Sandoval, teamed up to hold the Gauchos to 2 runs on 7 hits-their second lowest run output of the season. UCSB's record fell to an even .500 at 4-4, while Sacramento State improved their record to 4-7.
Senior outfielder Ben Edelstein was the sole Gaucho to record multiple hits in the low scoring affair- he went 2-3 with 2 walks and 2 singles. In fact, all 7 UCSB hits were singles- the second time this season that the Gauchos failed to record an extra base hit. Senior first baseman Trevor Whyte and senior outfielder Mark Haddow both chipped in RBIs to lead the Gaucho run production.
The first inning of the game was the polar opposite of the eight innings that would follow. The two teams traded runs in the first frame- a Thomas Paine sac fly and Mark Haddow fielder's choice produced the runs- and both pitchers ran up their pitch counts to the mid-30's- UCSB's junior starter Matt Vedo threw 35 pitches. Vedo's pitch count was a problem all night, as he threw 105 pitches in 5 innings- the same amount Meaux threw in 8.1 innings the night before.
"He wasn't throwing strike one as often as you would want," said UCSB Head Coach Bob Brontsema, "but he kept us in the game, and that's all you can ask of your starting pitcher."
Despite Vedo's short outing, he still held the Hornets to 2 runs while racking up six strikeouts. He was relieved by senior Nick Capito in the sixth inning while still on the hook for the loss. Capito pitched admirably, throwing three shutout innings in brisk fashion before he, as Brontsema put it, "made a mistake up in the zone" that led to the game-winning home run off the bat of Sacramento's number 9 hitter, shortstop Blake Miller.
The Gauchos mounted late rallies in both the eighth and ninth innings that threatened the lead of the Hornets. In the eighth, UCSB had Mark Haddow on third base with only one out. With the infield in, designated hitter John Vaccaro laced a line drive that was snagged at the shoe-strings of Sacramento second-baseman David Del Grande. A Ryan Palermo strikeout ended the threat.
In the ninth, freshman infielder Brandon Trinkwon and Edelstein set the table with a walk and single respectively. A Trevor Whyte single reduced their deficit to one run with the tying run in scoring position. However, Haddow was unable to push him in, ending the game on a pop-out to first base.
Asked what was needed to come out on top next time, Brontsema said "we just need some clutch hits, some two-out hits. We pitched well and we got some hits, we just couldn't get a big hit when we needed it."
The Gauchos and Hornets will play the rubber match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. Next week, the Gauchos host the USC Trojans on Tuesday before heading north for the weekend to San Francisco's AT&T Park, home of the MLB's San Francisco Giants and former Gaucho Barry Zito, for the AT&T Invitational.
The Intercollegiate Athletics Ticket Office has two parking spaces adjacent to the building and is now open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., making it easier than ever for fans to purchase tickets. The two parking spots, designated specifically for the Ticket Office, are also available during weekday hours, which are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
A donation to the Gaucho Fund - regardless of the sport it supports - will be part of the One Donation is Gold system. This allows donors to purchase priority/premium seating and parking at UCSB games across several sports in addition to other benefits.
GKids is the official kids club of UCSB Athletics. Members receive a free GKids t-shirt, free admittance to tons of Gaucho games, opportunities to be ball boys and girls at games, a special birthday greeting from Olie (the GKids mascot) and much, much more!

Judge Thomas Francis Hogan
September 2012: Average Prison Sentence
District Court - Washington, D.C.
Lead Charge: Withheld by govt from TRAC (FOIA challenge pending)
For all cases disposed of in the current fiscal year (2012) that were credited to Judge Thomas Francis Hogan in the District of Washington, D.C., the average prison sentence was 24.0 months, when looking only at cases with a lead charge of "Withheld by govt from TRAC (FOIA challenge pending)". During the current fiscal year, Judge Thomas Francis Hogan has sentenced one defendant compared with 11 defendants during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year.
Over the last five years, the average prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge Hogan was 86.7 months. This was 2.9% higher than the 84.3 months typical in Washington, D.C. and 13.9% higher than the 76.2 months average prison sentence for the nation. Judge Thomas Francis Hogan sentenced 48 defendants during the past five years.
(CAUTION: The kinds of cases handled by individual judges influences statistical information about their sentences. It therefore is important to consider the breakdown of cases that each has handled, available below, when making judge-by-judge comparisons.)
Figure 1 compares Judge Hogan's numbers to those for judges in this district and in the United States as a whole for cases of this type over the last five years.
During the last five years there were 13 other judges in the District of Washington, D.C. with information on convictions during that period. Average prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 45.6 months to 169.5 months, putting Judge Hogan's average prison sentence of 86.7 months at the higher end of the range. The average prison sentence for the whole District of Washington, D.C. during that time was 84.3 months.

Glad to have found this site! Our family is considering moving from South Florida (we're originally from NY) to NC in a couple of years, contingent on jobs. I am utterly unfamiliar with the state, having been there only once and in the dead of night, from the airport to the in-laws home in Kernersville.
I know this is a pretty broad or over-simplified question, but: I understand NC is quite religious, but are there any areas that are at least less so? I assume the towns close to universities would be, but I'm still unsure. For example, I've heard that Wake Forest is socially liberal, but when I visited some WF websites, I noticed a rather lengthy list of churches!
I'm thinking Raleigh-Durham or thereabouts? (We're not moving to the coast, nor to western NC.) I'm a community college professor, so I'm looking at Piedmont, Wake Technical, Durham Tech, etc.
Any information/advice would be greatly appreciated!
BTW, we'd be looking for three/four bedroom homes under 300k.
Thanks in advance,

Would-be Wrigley bomber apologizes
A young Lebanese immigrant awaiting sentencing for placing a backpack he thought held a bomb near Chicago's Wrigley Field wrote a letter to the judge saying he drank "all day, every day" for months before the would-be attack.
In a seven page letter to U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, Sami Samir Hassoun apologizes and insists he has worked hard at becoming a better person, including by taking yoga instruction in jail.
The letter was included in a defense filing this week. Hassoun, in custody since his 2010 arrest, is scheduled to be sentenced April 5.
Prosecutors want a 30-year prison sentence for the 25-year-old, who pleaded guilty to weapons charges last year. The defense filing argues Hassoun deserves no more than 20 years, in part because they contend he was egged on by an FBI informant to concoct the bombing scheme.
In his plea agreement, Hassoun admitted he dropped what he believed was a bomb into a trash bin on a crowded street by the Chicago Cubs' stadium in 2010. The fake device was given to him by undercover FBI agents who had been tipped off by the informant.
In the letter — dated Oct. 12, 2012, but released publicly this week — Hassoun tells Gettleman, "I am so ashamed of my actions and of this horrific crime that I've committed."
He describes feeling despondent and confused with his new life as a bakery worker, frustrated by broken dreams of becoming rich after he and his parents moved to the U.S. from Lebanon in 2008.
"By two to three months before my crime, I was drinking all day, every day," he wrote. "I would open a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black in the morning and finish it by evening, while also drinking vodka and beer."
He smoked marijuana regularly and sometimes used cocaine and ecstasy, he wrote.
Hassoun said he has confronted his self-destructiveness, has taken anger-management courses and is working toward a degree through a University of Ohio program designed for inmates.
Hassoun, who was born in Beruit, blamed what he described as longstanding emotional issues, in part, on trauma that lingered with him since childhood living in Ivory Coast when bloody civil strife broke out in that African nation.
"I witnessed all these horrific and barbaric scenes and images from the balcony of our apartment," he wrote. "I lived in constant fear, hearing rumors that they were invading homes, and raping women and kids."

How many words do you know in the language you're learning?
Clearly, the more words you know, the better able you are to communicate and interact with others.
The Speak to the Future organisation have set up a challenge encouraging us all to meet the 1000 word mark in at least one foreign language.
The idea is that if all of us, whatever our age, ability or nationality, knew at least 1000 words in another language, then the world would be a better place. Business deals would run more smoothly, foreign travel would be more rewarding and new friendships would blossom more quickly.
So, how to go about learning these words?
Luckily, busuu is here to help. We have 1000s of words, arranged into units, each with a focus on a useful, everyday topic.
You can learn one of the 12 languages available with busuu and you can set yourself goals to help motivate you to continue with your learning.
There are around 25 words per busuu vocabulary unit, with some already organised into useful everyday phrases.
Most of these words and phrases also have an example sentence showing the words used in an everyday context, and all have recordings of the words to help you with listening, speaking and pronunciation. So if you get through the busuu levels A1 and A2, you will be well on your way to meeting the target of 1000 words.
And if you're a Premium member you have access to interactive grammar units and recording exercises, plus you can print off a PDF of the words from the units you've completed, helping you to remember all the words you're learning.
Reach 1000 words!
Do you know 1000 words in another language? Let us know how you're getting on in the comments below.

I'm amazed by the writer who claims that extending in-state tuition to the children of illegal immigrants will do no good because they can't ever work in Maryland. He needs to read the Maryland Dream Act. One of the conditions of receiving in-state tuition is applying for citizenship. Which is the very thing that the writer complained about, namely illegal immigrants busting in line ahead of those on the pathway to citizenship.
You can imagine the fear such people have of immigrants who generally have to learn two languages to survive when one doesn't even demonstrate a reading proficiency in English.

They got most of the nails out before it fell on them.
The wife was under there somewhere too.
We found her simply by following all the noise.
Hes going to leave the far side on as its not fallen apart and it means the side will be covered better.
I think hes changed his mind and hes just chewing it all into
Today it only rained twice.
Once for the whole of the morning.
Once for the rest of the day.
So I spent the day carefully writing my new book.
I still havent de swearworded what I wrote.
Seems Im still a little grouchy.
Today it only rained once.
There wasnt a lull of even five minutes around noon.
After the last couple of disasters, I decided not to go near the boat again until I had calmed down.
A lot.
It fits on the trailer again and its padded with no more sharp bits to damage it.
So Im feeling a bit better.
Im not going to try to fix the damage tothe boat yet as Im still a little too grouchy.
Im thinking about an extension to the trailer..sort of like
Being filled with serious pissedoffishness, Im getting all of this out in one go so this is the second post today.
It will probably make a little more sense if you go back to the begining - if you havent already.
This bit of wood is too small for me to hold properly and grind away from the grain.
So Ive ground it the wrong way and now its all rough.
Well even rougher than normal.
Ive just decided that today is
Today Im absolutely and completely filled to the brim with serious pissedoffishness.
I dropped my canoe off the trailer I built in the garden and discovered its got savaged by the trailer.
Filled up to about 3 or 4 inches above my ears.
Its the thicker variety of Pissedoffishness. The one thats condensed and cant find anyone else to blame.

Jane Monheit knows firsthand the life-changing influence that music can have on a young life. As a schoolgirl growing up in the late 1980s on the south shore of Long Island, where the right jeans and the right sneakers were required, Monheit was all wrong. Her hair was wrong, her clothes were wrong and the music she favored was wrong.
"I was a total misfit. I was totally bullied," Monheit recalls. But she did have a voice that she knew, even then, was very right.
"I've always been able to sing. I've always had a voice for jazz. I don't know why, but it made me so confident. I was fiercely proud of it," Monheit says from her home in upstate New York. "I was always one of those people with an inordinate amount of confidence, more than I should have. Jazz definitely helped build that."
Monheit began singing professionally in her teens, was the runner-up in the prestigious Thelonious Monk Jazz Institute vocal competition at age 20, and released her critically lauded 2000 debut album, "Never Never Land," at age 22.
The twice Grammy-nominated vocalist, now the 35-year-old mother of a 4-year-old son, has performed at Carnegie Hall and in hallowed New York jazz halls such as Birdland, the Rainbow Room and the Blue Note, as well as on the "Today" show and the David Letterman show. The New York Times' Stephen Holden minced no words, calling her "a prodigious stylist whose gorgeous vocal throb is a phenomenon unto itself."
This weekend, three weeks before the release of her 11th album, "The Heart of the Matter," Monheit will share the confidence-building powers of jazz with local music students as part of an intimate and innovative pair of performances in the Horvitz Auditorium at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale/Nova Southeastern University.
The Friday-Saturday concerts are part of a new series called "Up Close and Personal at Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale," and combine a casual "cabaret"-style evening concert followed the next morning by an even-more-laidback "master class" Q&A gathering, in which the visiting artist performs and interacts with local students. The series is a group effort by the museum, NSU and the Venetian Arts Society, led by local arts impresario William Riddle, who has for several years created cultural salons in a variety of locations around Fort Lauderdale.
Saturday morning's master class will draw students from NSU, Broward College and the University of Miami. It is open to the public for $20. Students and faculty from all area schools will be admitted for free.
For Riddle, the series is an ambitious but necessary extention of the salon programming he started in 2010 with recurring gatherings at Inspired Interiors, formerly on the ground floor of the Venezia condos in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Those music and art events drew crowds in the dozens, while the Horvitz Auditorium seats 250. Tickets sales have been brisk, Riddle says.
"This is a giant step, to go to the Museum of Art and a larger audience, with a more-sophisticated level of performer," Riddle admits. "But there is definitely an audience for this."
The series got a test run last November with Miami-raised opera singer Elizabeth Caballero. But a last-minute scheduling conflict (involving her role in "Madama Butterfly") forced the concert to be moved to a Wednesday, which Riddle says "killed ticket sales."
For reasons that go beyond Monheit's resume, Riddle says the singer is the perfect performer to give the series a reboot. Friday night's concert will have a "nontraditional," cabaret feel, Riddle says, and he was looking for a musician who could share stories, deconstruct songs and engage the audience in an entertaining way. (Other vocalists on the series include stage performer Avery Sommers, June 28-29, and opera star Leona Mitchell, Oct. 25-26.)
"What draws me to an artist is, basically, honesty," Riddle says. "Everything about what Jane presents is real, it's honest, not a facade."
The marketing flier for this weekend's performances touts the opportunity to meet an "icon" of jazz, which ellicits an honest laugh from Monheit.
"I crack up laughing when I read something calling me 'the sensuous jazz chanteuse,' " says the singer, whose album covers do not hide her sultry side. "Have these people met me? Most of the time, I feel like a big dork 9-year-old."
Monheit has adventurous tastes when it comes to her recordings, ranging from past covers of songs by pop artists such as Fiona Apple ("Slow Like Honey") and Corinne Bailey Rae ("Like a Star") to her new album's treatment of the Beatles ("The Long and Winding Road") and the "Sesame Street" classic "Sing." But make no mistake: Monheit's heart is in the Great American Songbook, and she is a serious student of jazz vocalism.
As the young singers will learn on Saturday morning, it is performers with a fearless commitment to personal expression that provided a role model for Monheit. Singers such as Sarah Vaughan and Judy Garland ("so underappreciated, Judy could really swing") performed with an authenticity that cannot be simulated, she says.
"Sarah Vaughan was important to me, because she was able to sing and improvise, which everyone must do. But she did it with a full instrument, a full voice," Monheit says. "There is no such thing as sounding 'jazzy.' It's either there or it isn't."
Perhaps fittingly, Monheit's entire weekend will have an improvisational feel to it. She'll create a set list about an hour before Friday evening's performance in the Horvitz Auditorium, which will feature Monheit alone onstage with longtime pianist and arranger Michael Kanan. The duet format is something she and Kanan ("the big brother I never had") have fun with.
"It doesn't matter if it's a 1,000-seat hall or a 100-seat room, I want the audience to feel the same way. I'll be cracking jokes, being myself. The duo shows are very special for us," Monheit says.
The unpredictable nature of Saturday morning's master class is also appealing for Monheit. Kanan will again be the accompanist as Monheit performs, chats and works with individual vocal students in front of the audience.
"I love working with other singers, especially young ones," she says. "What we have found is that there are many fine, incredible talents all over. It's a great joy to be able to work with them."
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.-noon Saturday
Where: Horvitz Auditorium at the Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale, 1 E. Las Olas. Blvd.
Cost: $60 Friday, $20 Saturday (students and educators free). $85 VIP includes admission to both and meet-and-greet champagne reception with Monheit.

The Geomblog was the subject of much speculation when analysts at several firms were heard to be very positive about it's recent performance. It's share price rose from B$1,065.48 to B$1,502.33. Much of the hype was said to originate from kakngah whose Star Spangled Banner (artefact) was said to be involved.I wish someone could explain to me how this whole thing works.
kakngah declined to comment on the recent speculation.

A Tribute to William Holmberg (1931-2013)
By Alana Callender, EdD
Born in Alabama, William Holmberg decided he wanted to become a chiropractor at the age of 10. He attended the University of Alabama and spent two years in the U.S. Army before enrolling at the Palmer School of Chiropractic, graduating in 1955. His bride, Barb, a woman of great charm, influenced him to stay in the area, as she was a local girl. In return, she attended hundreds of ceremonial dinners and cooked almost as many for Palmer students. Together they raised two daughters, Kris and Teresa.
Bill Holmberg should not be remembered in the context of dates, titles and awards, although there were many. Bill Holmberg was a force of nature. In June 2010, I interviewed Bill at his home as part of Palmer's Oral History Project. We weren't strangers; I'd known him since he was hired as vice president of development and alumni at Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1984. But until 2010, he had eluded my efforts to get him on tape.
Holmberg: "The main thing I learned was if you're going to do something, you gotta do it to the best of your ability or it ain't going to get done. Of all the things I did – I jumped right in with everything whenever I did anything. I was president of the Delta Sigma Chi [and we] always had our annual meeting during Homecoming. When Carl Cleveland Jr. came up, he was the guest speaker for that function. I don't know why, but I was so nervous during that whole thing. I called him Carl Junior Cleveland."
Bill always enjoyed organizational work. His good-old-boy patter disguised a keen mind buttressed by incredible organizational skills. He was a big-picture guy who paid attention to the details, and he was not afraid to ask for money for a cause he believed in.
Holmberg: "I was the chairman of the fundraising committee for the anti-trust case. My good buddy Bob Hulsebus talked to Jerry McAndrews, who was the executive vice president of the ICA then. He said, 'Bill Holmberg is always raising money; put him in charge.' Jerry invited me and Bob over one day in 1977. This was when the headquarters were still over in Davenport. He said, 'Bill, can you do this?' I said I'd think about it, [then decided I'd do it]. I went and got a fundraising committee, committee leaders, and I took it over. .. I had my big fundraising committee. It boiled down to Jo Anderson, my secretary, and I wound up having to do all of the stuff." The fundraising was successful enough to pay the bills in the Wilk et al. v. the AMA case and have a remainder. "Some of the money went to Kentuckiana. Part of it went to colleges. The last thing it went to was that big lawsuit that George McAndrews was involved in for Blue Cross-Blue Shield in Virginia. We donated quite a bit to that."
To many of us, Bill Holmberg was simply "Billy Bob." In 1983, Bob Hulsebus ran for president of the ICA, with Bill on the ticket as vice president. Recalled Holmberg: "We'd be in a board meeting and Sid [Williams] would always call me Bob and Bob, Bill. The guy who really started pushing it was Bruce Nordstrom, who was the executive director of the ICA." And thus was born "Billy Bob."
Would there have been a chiropractic centennial without Bill Holmberg? Certainly the hundred-year anniversary would have come and gone, but the grand celebration that brought together all the myriad factions of the profession could have only been orchestrated by someone such as Bill. And there aren't many with that qualification.
Holmberg: "What I enjoyed and what was the greatest challenge was the Centennial. I was on the board of trustees and we were all over the map. Straight, mixer, ACA, ICA, and all that stuff. ...We were a very unified board. Trying to balance all of the things and the tremendous amount of money that was involved, the tremendous number of people involved – it was just mind boggling. That's why I had to get out of my practice. I just had to leave it. I could not concentrate when I was in there. I'd get a million phone calls in the afternoon when I'd get there sometimes. I would say that [working on the centennial celebration] has been the most gratifying."
Three thousand people together in Washington, D.C., "five or six thousand" in Davenport. "I've never seen so many people come together. We raised a lot of money and came out with money ahead. We gave $40,000 to the ACC. We're still in business. We're not out of business yet. The Chiropractic Centennial Foundation is still a nonprofit entity. ... Of course, we don't have any meetings and don't have any money. One of the last things we did in the CCF was we set up a bicentennial endowment" (an idea Bill credited to Don Petersen Jr., publisher / president of Dynamic Chiropractic).
Bill was elected first vice president of the Association for the History of Chiropractic, serving with the president of the association and dear friend, Ken Padgett. The AHC has held its recent board meetings in Bonita Springs, convenient to the winter homes of both. The last time I saw Bill was in Florida in December. I had a long drive ahead of me, so unfortunately, I had to leave the room before he finished that evening's rendition of "Stars Fell on Alabama."
Dynamic Chiropractic honored Dr. Holmberg with its "DC of the Year" award in 1995. Read the complete article in the Dec. 18, 1995 issue.

Last I heard he was very very unhappy with the moves the organization had made with the coaching staff. He had said he would be interested in reuniting with Russ Grimm. Haven't heard anything in a while.
Alan Faneca, still bitter, promises not to show it during what he called his last training camp with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"I'm going to go abut my business and play football,'' the six-time Pro Bowl guard said. "Any distraction would be through the media and how they perceive me going about my business of playing football."
Faneca deeply resents the fact the Steelers made him a perfunctory contract extension offer early this year, one he said was issued only so club officials could say they made him an offer. No talks have taken place on a new one and Faneca said he will play through the final year of his contract and go elsewhere in 2008. He said the Steelers will get his very best on the field this season.
"It's about playing with the guys next to you and playing for a job as well,'' Faneca said. "It's a true sense of playing for a job, it just happens to be somewhere else the following year."
New coach Mike Tomlin said he has no doubts that Faneca will act and play up to his best.
"You don't play football the way he plays football without being a professional. I think ultimately your character shows through; it's obvious when you turn the tape on what his football character is about."
Faneca blew off his team's OTAs except for one required minicamp he attended, although he missed one of those practices and was reportedly fined by Tomlin. Faneca will earn a salary of $3.375 million this season on top of the $1 million roster bonus he received in March.
Faneca, 30, said he might be motivated more this year.
"I think it's definitely motivation when everyone's talking about your age, your play, people are analyzing you and the situation, that motivates you," he said...
I heard he was refusing to be a co-captain of the offense.
Oh yeah, He's a great talent and has a bit of a mean streak, on the field. I'd be thrilled to bring him in.

WASHINGTON -- Tiger Woods has had trouble playing golf lately. He's had no trouble talking about it.
Woods, who pulled out as defending champion of the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week with a bad back, appeared at the Newseum to speak about his a new sponsor for his golf tournament that will be played this summer at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Md., as well as his Tiger Woods Foundation.
Quicken Loans has signed on to sponsor the tournament, which will be called the Quicken Loans National, June 23-29. The company replaces AT&T, which has sponsored the event since its inception in 2007.
Woods said Monday nothing has changed with his back.
"For Augusta it's actually a little too soon to be honest with you," he said when asked about his back and the Masters. "That's kind of the frustrating thing. I've had a couple weeks off, working on trying to get ready for Augusta.
"As of right now, it's still a little too soon and as I said it's really frustrating."
PGA TOUR: Every rallies for first tour win
Leading up to the Masters, Woods wasn't scheduled to play this week's Valero Texas Open or the following week's Shell Houston Open. While his latest withdrawal could lead him to add either tournament — if he is healthy — that seems unlikely. Woods has never played the week before the Masters.
A winner at Augusta in 1997, 2001, 2002 and 2005, Woods has never won the Masters without winning another tournament earlier in that season.
This year, due to various ailments, Woods has played in three tournaments and withdrew with five holes to play of the Honda Classic.
Although Woods is not 100 percent healthy he's proved in the past that a wounded Tiger is not without danger. He won the 2008 U.S. Open in a playoff against Rocco Mediate playing on one leg.
Woods, who has played every Masters since 1995, wrote on his website after pulling out of Palmer's tournament that "it's too early to know about the Masters, and I will continue to be evaluated and work closely with my doctors."
Following his 2008 win in the U.S. Open, Woods had surgery on his left knee and had to miss the British Open and PGA Championship that year. He also missed the 2011 U.S. and British Opens with knee and Achilles problems.
Woods said a few weeks ago that his injuries was back spasms and "we've done all the protocols and it's just a matter of keeping everything aligned so I don't go into that."
