The Hawaiian health official who verified the authenticity of President Obama's birth certificate died in a small plane crash.
The plane, carrying a pilot and eight passengers, went down Wednesday in the water off the Hawaiian island of Molokai, the Maui Fire Department said. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser was among the first outlets to report that the lone fatality was Loretta Fuddy. Tom Matsuda, the interim executive director of Hawaii's health insurance exchange, confirmed Fuddy's death.
Fuddy, 65, became acting health director in January 2011. After being confirmed as the permanent health director, Fuddy made news in April 2011 when she verified the authenticity of certified copies of President Obama's birth certificate, proving that he had been born in Hawaii.
Obama had requested the release to curb claims by opponents that he was born in Kenya and not eligible to be president.
"I cannot even begin to convey what a terrible loss this is for Hawaii," Matsuda said in a statement. "I worked closely with Director Fuddy on the Affordable Care Act and came to know and respect her as a passionate advocate for public health and a warm, caring human being."
The Makani Kai Air plane went down about a half-mile northwest of Kalaupapa peninsula. Makai Kai Air President Richard Schuman said the plane was a Cessna Grand Caravan.
State Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo said the department's deputy director, Keith Yamamoto, also had been booked on the flight.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Melissa McKenzie said a Coast Guard helicopter got three passengers out of the water while Maui fire crews picked up five people. One person swam ashore.

That last building, of course, is 636 Pacific Street, the rehabbed warehouse dubbed the Atlantic Arts building and known as the home of Daniel Goldstein, co-founder of Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn, until he agreed to a settlement in April. Demolition is expected to be completed next month.
(Photo and set by Tracy Collins)
In a coincidence that could only be described as brutally weird, today Brownstoner featured 636 Pacific as the Building of the Day. The pseudonymous Montrose Morris wrote:
Had this building been anywhere else, it would easily have been eligible for landmarking, as it is a rare example of [Chep] Kingsley's work in NY, as well as for its intrinsic beauty on its own, especially with the wealth of terra-cotta in the colors, materials and motifs here. The details are in excellent shape, and it is a rare piece of commercial architecture of this type and from this era. Wastefully, it will soon be rubble. I hope the terra-cotta is salvagable. That, and pictures will be all that is left.As one commenter suggested, salvage is unlikely.
FCR's claims of delay were overblown
Note that the affidavit filed by Forest City Ratner's MaryAnne Gilmartin in April warned (p. 22, or p. 67 of the overall document) of the enormous costs of delay, claiming it "may take several months to perform the work necessary to prepare for actual demolition" of 636 Pacific, and it would "take an additional several months--approximately five months is the current estimate--to perform and complete the actual demolition."
Actually, a demolition permit was filed in mid-September, which means the work would wind up taking two months.
The Urban Canvas program
Well, at least there will be some form of beautification coming to the site. According to the Construction Alert:
Atlantic Yards is participating in the City's Urban Canvas program which is managed by the City's Department of Buildings; as such a decorative covering will be installed on a portion of the construction fence facing Atlantic Avenue (approximately 200 feet in length); it is one of four sanction [sic] designs selected by the City. To find out more information about the program go to the DOB web site (www.nyc.gov/urbancanvas) and search for Urban Canvas.Last month, the city announced competition finalists (pictured here) for the Urban Canvas program:
Supported by the Rockefeller Foundation's grant to the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City, the competition seeks to beautify construction sites by challenging professional artists and designers to create artwork that can be installed on construction fences, sidewalk sheds, supported scaffolds and cocoon systems, which are used to protect the public during the construction process.So Forest City Ratner would be eligible to place a rendering of the Barclays Center on the structures in lieu of artwork. However, the Construction Alert suggests that one of four designs chosen by the city will be used. And, indeed, the New York Times reports that one design debuted today.
...Following the announcement of the winning designs, the Department of Buildings will launch the urbancanvas Pilot Program. Under the Pilot Program, property owners, contractors and businesses will be invited to select one of the winning designs and install it on temporary protective structures located on or over City-owned property. Eligible participants will have the option of placing a pictorial rendering of the exterior of the project being built on the temporary protective structures in lieu of artwork. Selected designs will be allowed to include the name of one art sponsor displayed in accordance with the Pilot Program specifications.

Cleveland Mayor Jeff Horrocks informed the council of the process for doing inventory of the town's property for insurance purposes. The insurance company has informed the town that in the event of a fire or some other incident at one of the town's properties, the contents of the building are not now currently covered.
Jamie Jensen, town clerk, said, "In order to avoid being charged a penalty in the event of a disaster, these inventories of the contents of each facility must be submitted very soon. The insurance company has requested a valuation of the equipment also."
Jensen stated that the contents of the cemetery shop has been completed, and the town hall building is going to be quite extensive as they store the Christmas decorations there and tables and chairs too. Greg Oliver is completing the inventory of the fire station and its equipment. Mayor Horrocks volunteered to help Jensen with the inventory of town hall.
Another matter of concern for Cleveland is the shooting of a family pet. The dog was an expensive animal and was shot and later died at the vet. The resident called the Sheriff's Office and no further action has taken place. This resident has a fairly good idea who shot the dog.
"The big concern in this matter for Cleveland is the discharge of a firearm inside city limits and in the vicinity of children. I am requesting the council's permission to write a letter to the Sheriff's Office informing them of our desire to have a solution to this problem. We cannot let this slide with a problem as serious as discharging a firearm inside the city.
"This resident paid a vet bill and the dog was lost in spite of the attempt to save it. They should be reimbursed for the bill by the person who shot the dog. This incident needs follow up. Another issue Cleveland residents need to be reminded of is the importance of keeping their pets restrained. We have a problem in town at the present time of dogs running loose all over town. Our ordinance states that pets must be restrained at all times. This is for everyone's safety and protection," stated Horrocks. The council approved to write the letter to the Sheriff's Office.
In another matter, the council approved to adopt the changes in the purchasing ordinance that governs the town. Mayor Horrocks stated Huntington's fire chief has stated his appreciation to the Cleveland Fire Department for their assistance during a house fire recently.
Councilman Richard Murdoch informed the council that he had attended a meeting at which emergency preparedness was stressed. "Each town must have a plan to direct the actions taken and address the needs of the town and its residents during an emergency situation," stated Murdoch. Mayor Horrocks told Murdoch of a committee in Emery County, headed by Judy Lang, that trains residents to act during an emergency. Murdoch volunteered to get the training and be able to come back and train others in Cleveland.
Mayor Horrocks concluded the meeting by informing the council of his concerns with the Cleveland Town budget. There is no cushion in the budget for anything that may come up. "We may want to investigate what other towns and cities are doing in the way of a utility franchise tax. This tax is collected by the utility and returned to the city.
"At present we do not have a franchise tax and most of the other cities in Emery County do have one. I would like you each to think about this possibility and do some investigating into what other towns of our size charge. We need to generate some funds and this tax would help a great deal with minimal impact on most residents. We should especially consider the effect this would have on our residents on fixed incomes. This could help Cleveland, but we need to consider all the aspects before deciding to bring it to a public hearing. We should set a goal to make a decision at next month's meeting," said Horrocks.
The next meeting for the Cleveland Town Council is May 11 at 7 p.m. in the Cleveland town hall.

New York, Tokyo, Paris—or somewhere else. Which of the world's cities is the friendliest to business? That's just one question explored in detail by the Partnership for New York City and PwC in the annual Cities of Opportunity report.1 The study analyzes how 26 cities—hubs of finance, commerce, and culture—performed as centers of business, based on 66 variables in 10 indicator areas.
One telling indicator is Ease of Doing Business, which examined factors such as: Ease of starting a business, Ease of hiring, Rigidity of working hours, Ease of firing, Ease of entry, Flexibility of visa travel, Foreign embassies or consulates, Operational risk climate, and Workforce management risk. The leaders in the Ease of Doing Business category were Hong Kong, Singapore, New York, and London. (See Figure.)
The study found that the biggest determinant for business investment was a combination of flexible labor policies, openness to the rest of the world, and the ease of starting and maintaining an enterprise (which embraces the stability of a city's fiscal and regulatory environment).
When looking at all the indicators in the study together, the five top-ranked cities are New York, Toronto, San Francisco, Stockholm, and Sydney. To explore the study in greater detail, visit www.pwc.com/cities.

The Smithsonian Institution was established with funds from James Smithson (1765-1829), a British scientist who left his estate to the United States to found "at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge."
Smithson, the illegitimate child of a wealthy Englishman, had traveled much during his life, but had never once set foot on American soil. Why, then, would he decide to give the entirety of his sizable estate—which totaled half a million dollars, or 1/66 of the United States' entire federal budget at the time—to a country that was foreign to him?
Some speculate it was because he was denied his father's legacy. Others argue that he was inspired by the United States' experiment with democracy. Some attribute his philanthropy to ideals inspired by such organizations as the Royal Institution, which was dedicated to using scientific knowledge to improve human conditions. Smithson never wrote about or discussed his bequest with friends or colleagues, so we are left to speculate on the ideals and motivations of a gift that has had such significant impact on the arts, humanities, and sciences in the United States.
Visitors can pay homage to Smithson with a visit to his crypt, located on the first floor of the Smithsonian Castle.
Learn more about James Smithson »
Smithson died in 1829, and six years later, President Andrew Jackson announced the bequest to Congress. On July 1, 1836, Congress accepted the legacy bequeathed to the nation and pledged the faith of the United States to the charitable trust. In September 1838, Smithson's legacy, which amounted to more than 100,000 gold sovereigns, was delivered to the mint at Philadelphia. Recoined in U.S. currency, the gift amounted to more than $500,000.
After eight years of sometimes heated debate, an Act of Congress signed by President James K. Polk on Aug. 10, 1846, established the Smithsonian Institution as a trust to be administered by a Board of Regents and a Secretary of the Smithsonian. Since its founding, more than 164 years ago, the Smithsonian has become the world's largest museum and research complex, with 19 museums, the National Zoo, and nine research facilities.

New Treasure
It's been a lovely week for treasure. My Mother handed me a bag of things she had found while going through a closet. Lovely mess, isn't it? There is so much more. So, want to guess what is on my To Do list next week? Give you a hint. . . . has something to do with the scanner. . . . It's certainly been fun going through it all. She had many things from my childhood, but most surprising was that there were many items from hers. At any rate, I am going to be busy, and happy about it!

As we were leaving the Flower Market, I found out that the crew I was counting on for Fridays pick was a no go. Hmm…a no go…I was scheduled to begin a pick the next day with NO crew. I then received a message from the Mill hoping they we could put a larger crew on the pick so they could have the olives earlier in the day. A larger crew? Larger then 0? After a bit of discussion with Shari at McEvoy, we decided that a 10 person crew would be the best scenario…ok then I only have to add……10.
Sue took the wheel so I could get on the phone and call every Vineyard Management Company that I knew. I wasn't having great success until I spoke to my sister. She could get 10 guys but no foreman so I would have to lead the way…which would be fine except that I took French….my Spanish is no bueno.
About halfway home, Sue decided to mention her friend who is "connected to the Vineyard Mgmt business"…she said it so nonchalantly that I didn't have much hope but agreed we should call. Long story short…we did…and he was…..and they could….and all I needed to do was bring the tarps! HUGE relief. All was set and we were to meet at 6:30am at our newest property, Rutherford Runway Vineyards.
Rutherford Runway Vineyards is located on South Whitehall Lane….neighbors to the Hornbergers. The Moreland Family has a history of farming….almonds, bees, olives, grapes…and I have yet to get their detailed story but it sounds as if they are a motivated bunch.
Their property on South Whitehall Lane has 37 olive trees…most are Italian varietals with a few Sevillano trees mixed in. They keep their trees beautifully manicured and low to the ground which eliminates the need for ladders. One look at their trees and you know the Morelands are dedicated to the land.
NOW….onto the contest…..here are some facts pertaining to the possible yield…..
This is a very difficult yield to guess because it is our first year. We can only go by what the owner tells us and how the trees look compared to other properties that we have. We were told that the tonnage two years ago was about 1600 pounds…..there are 2000 pounds in a ton.
We were also told that there were a few trees that came into production from the last harvest so tonnage should be up. Remember from Twin Sisters that there is an average of 30-35 gallons of oil per ton.
The olives had a little frost damage so we would lose some crop but very little….10% maybe.
You can see in the pictures that the olives were at a nice ripeness…50/50 to be conservative…and remember…the riper the olive, the more yield.
The olives will be milled using a Blade Press at McEvoy Ranch..thank you Shari! A Blade will usually give you a little more yield then a Stone.
I think that is all the info that is pertinent….you can try to get some clues from the pictures below and then go to the comments section and make your guess!
Back to the day…………
I didn't sleep well the night before as I had never used this crew before…and this was a new client…..and there was a possibility of rain…and the appointments available at the Mill were getting tight. I tossed and turned and was grateful when my alarm went off at 5:30am. I threw on layers of clothes and my trusted work boots and out the door I went with Matcha tea in hand. I arrived at the property at 6:33am. As I turned the corner of the drive, I felt the adrenaline rush of harvest. There were trucks and cars and men….plenty of men putting on picking buckets and getting ready for the day. I felt an immediate sense of relief…this crew was professional and on task….I could sense it before I even got out of my car.
It was still too dark to begin so their leader, Eduardo, and I walked the property and noted the trees that were going to be picked. He was very pleasant and assured me that it was all under control. We discussed a few things and as the light of the day began to peek through, his team began to pick.
Hand picking is a whole different ballgame. It takes a lot of time..and patience. The tarps are laid below to soften the fall of the olives but the majority are picked and put right into the bucket.
Just as we discussed in the Twin Sister posts, it never ceases to amaze me how one tree will be turning black and the one next to it will be green…varietal type can make a difference but that's not always the case.
Here are olives nice and purple…..
and the tree next door is nice and green…..
The Rutherford Runway estate is a very special property….and as the name implies…it sits right where the runway in Rutherford used to lie. According to Jonathan Westerling, this small private airstrip ferried many of California's famous winemakers in and out of the Napa Valley over several decades. It was located on Inglenook Ranch Winery and constructed by John Daniel Jr., whose father managed the vineyard from 1919 – 1933. According to a 2006 article by the California Farm Bureau Federation, John was a Stanford University graduate, aviator and talented businessman. He worked closely with his friend, Robert Mondavi, to establish the basis for the Napa Valley wine industry.
My favorite part of working with new growers is listening to their story….this is no exception. I look forward to learning more about who they are because in the limited discussions that we have had, it is apparent that they are a driven family…very motivated and serious about their land….and their crops….
Ryan is a budding winemaker, no pun intended, and anxious to release his first wine under the Rutherford Runway Vineyards label. He will be releasing their "crown jewel", Rutherford Runway Vineyard barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc in the Spring. He notes that it has lots of sur lie so it should be creamy with a nice mouthfeel and it's showing bright acidity with flavors of lemon zest and green pear. It sounds like a fun pairing with their extra virgin olive oil!
We picked the trees on the left side of the drive.
This is the back side of the driveway….grapes to the left…olives to the right….my kind of path.
First Bin has filled up. Because these aren't ventilated macro bins, we only fill them 3/4 full to prevent anaerobic fermentation….
We lost about 10% to the frost. It's pretty easy to see frost damages fruit….they are brown and slimy to the touch…see the brown ones in the bunch? Those olives are left on the tree and then the crew comes back around and picks them off and throws them out.
All went without issue today…we arrived at McEvoy at about 2:30….ahead of schedule!
Unloading at McEvoy….you know the drill!
Bin one……
Bin 2…..
The day was done….the olives would be pressed the next morning so I jumped in my truck and headed home.
As I was driving out of the Ranch, I was taken back by this young buck grazing in the field right next to me. I wish I could have gotten a better picture…he was so stunning.
As I came to the end of the driveway, I decided to stop and appreciate my surroundings before heading home. I leaned against the fence post and couldn't help but think about the day….all the effort that went into the olives…so many hands involved….so much care taken….so much respect shown…all as it should be but seldom is…
And then these cows caught my eye…the calf was running around having fun and mom was headed up the hill, looking back at her calf in a way all mothers could relate to…the calf was oblivious. I had to smile.
Then I gazed at this view and I wondered….I wondered how it would be to live on so much land that you could never walk it all? Or on land where you go for a hike in your backyard? Or land with a beautiful barn that you converted to a house?
The ringing of my cell phone in the distance reminded me that my day was far from over. It was time to head home……

Skip to comments.TEEN GUILTY OF MURDERING GEORGIA BABY IN STROLLER
Posted on 08/30/2013 2:14:41 PM PDT by Hojczyk
An 18-year-old man was convicted of murder in the shooting of a baby who was riding in a stroller alongside his mom in a town in coastal Georgia.
Jurors deliberated about two hours before finding De'Marquise Elkins guilty of 11 counts, including two counts of felony murder and one count of malice murder in the March 21 killing of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago in Brunswick. The man's mother, Karimah Elkins, was on trial alongside him and was found guilty of tampering with evidence but acquitted of lying to police.
De'Marquise Elkins faces life in prison. At the time of the shooting he was 17, too young to face the death penalty under Georgia law.
Sherry West testified that she was walking home from the post office with her son the morning of the killing. A gunman demanding her purse, shot her in the leg and shot her baby in the face after she told him she had no money, she said.
Prosecutors, who declined comment after the verdict, said during trial that De'Marquise Elkins and an accomplice, 15-year-old Dominique Lang, are the ones who stopped West. Prosecutors say the older teen pointed a small .22-caliber revolver at West and demanded money. When West refused several times to turn over the money, Elkins fired a warning shot, shot the woman in the leg and the baby between the eyes, prosecutors said.

Good. At 18 he'll be old enough for the general population. His life in prison will be a fitting prelude to his afterlife.
In the general prison population, he'll be killed in short order. That's almost a guarantee. Let's hope his 'brutha' prison officials don't protect him.
Oh no!!! Families are going to be separated due to criminal behavior! The illegal immigrant lobby is so against that!
I know, it's unrelated on the surface,,but connected nonetheless.
I hope when he's in the general population that they don't kill him right away,
I do hope they "punish" (Obama's favorite word) him within an inch of his life on a regular basis. I'd be satisfied if he ends up wishing he was dead.
Sorry Lord,,,I fail.
Rogue illegal vigilante negro.
Jury Timetable:
10 min to get into jury room
10 min to get seated
1 min to find him guilty
30 Min to order lunch
1 hr to eat lunch
30 min to use bathroom and clean up
9 min to be reseated
I was changing channels and came across HLN. They were discussing this and one said since tree were no blacks on the jury, that was grounds for a new trial. They had talked to an alternate juror who was black and she said she wished she had been able to get the others to hear her views. They also talked about the poor quality of life he had had-—no parents to speak of, in and out of jail since he was very young. I do not think he learned anything from that. Bless his little heart. Looks like he is going back to prison.
Tree is there.
No...too young according to a (disgraceful) 2005 Supreme Court ruling by William Rehnquist, Roper v. Simmons.
The more retrials the more exposure,,and the older he gets,,,,,so less time in Juvie and more in the real grown up prison. No childhood trauma can justify shooting a 13 month old between the eyes after counting down from 5.
There is a small chance that man was more savage in pre-recorded history.
Another "Obama" murdering thug son gets his just due!!! Truly an animal!!! What form of low life shoots an innocent infant in the face for a pocketbook???
America....wake up!!!
Aw, heck. You mean it wasn't society's fault?
We need to start pushing state and federal legislators to lower the eligibility age for the death sentence. The death sentence should be mandatory in all states, along with a limit (say 2 years) for the time it takes to carry out the sentence. Put these animals in the ground sooner where they belong.
If only the baby had a hoddie, Skittles and an Arizona Tea, this might have been a national story.
Obama's son found guilty of murder? Amazing.
Predictable (late) Friday afternoon (holiday weekend) news...
I swear, the media, including leftist Hollywood, and our lame leadership should bear responsibility for all racism in the USA.
Read the bible. No way the ancient Hebrews would have let this subhuman POS continue wasting oxygen.
They had to take the time to elect a foreman also.
"We're depraved 'cause we we're deprived!"
(credit West Side Story)
Why do all these scumbags have these horrible names?
Not really. Those guys weren't governed by laws. This one here did a countdown to murder. There may be more grisly murders and murderers, but this one is the savage.
America....ARM UP!!
Very small. They didn't have guns back then so that pussies like this one could so easily kill others.
Back then, he would have used a stick or rock. There have always been bullies.
All the current 'racism' stems from one point in time. It involved one of the (now) wealthiest black women in the United States, whose entire fortune was built from the same starting point.
That, my FRiends, is the TV Miniseries - ROOTS.
A complete lie, from beginning to end, taken(plagiarized) from a book on the life of the JEWS under NAZI OCCUPATION.
No one complained about the plagiarism because the week long debacle made $$$BILLIONS.
That was the start of LIBERAL WHITE GUILT, and of the NEW BLACK ROYALTY.
You know his attorney must have been a moron to propose this line of defense without any real empirical evidence...
Let's see:
How possible is it for a mother of a child to shot their own child in the face...?...in broad daylight for insurance money?
I am sure the jury had women on it...that probably went over well with them ? / S
Sure it's possible but highly improbable...
Versus a teen thug shooting a child in the face...highly likely...
Glad to see his worthless mother got convicted as well...
Back in the 1980's there were tribal cattle raids back and forth along the Kenya-Uganda border. Occasionally you would hear of raiders swinging the infants of their enemy tribe by their heels and bashing them against a rock.
Echos of Psalm 137:9 (read here for a better understanding of what this verse says and does NOT say: "http://www.letusreason.org/Biblexp7.htm" )
Evil and depravity have been with us since the Fall.
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" 2 Timothy 3:1-4
He was conceived in the back of a Mercury?
Is this one of the dear leader's sons?
17 too young for the death penalty? I almost wished they waited until he was 18 to continue the trial so that he could be sentenced to death.
I guess council for the defense didn't come up with "Antonio was trying to sell the Perps drugs", like they did in the 88 yr old Vets case. Or they were standing their ground against Antonio who threatening them. Unfortunately there will be other cases like these still to come. Its all about what we have become.
"The defense had strongly suggested in pretrial motions that the baby's parents were the killers."
Yup. The article is trying it's best to convince readers the killer is innocent.
No blacks in the jury. This story won't go away anytime soon. I can hear Sharpton screaming already.
"Lack of blacks and young people in jury pool violates De'Marquise Elkins constitutional rights, public defender argues"
to get to the truth of what really happened the Zimmerman precedent is being used by the Obama/Holder Dept. of Just Us and Our People. A toll-free number has been established to call and report any known or suspected racial animosity that the baby had.
.. or a more recent revelation that these white victims were actually drug dealers and the killings were a result of deals gone bad. Did the baby refuse to hand over the drugs his mother sold?
"They had talked to an alternate juror who was black and she said she wished she had been able to get the others to hear her views."
We have to stop pretending her "black" perspective means anything at all in relation to a "white" perspective.

Primary Resources: FBI FilesOther Primary Resources
While the FBI never launched a formal investigation of Eleanor Roosevelt, FBI references to her comprise one of the largest single files in J. Edgar Hoover's collection. Her affiliation with liberal groups such as the American Youth Congress, as well as her outspokenness about segregation and lynching and her assertions for free speech combined to render her in the minds of conservatives such as Hoover as a threat to the status quo in American society. The 3,000-page FBI file contains charges against her for suspected Communist activities, threats to her life on the grounds of her disloyalty to the country, close monitoring of her activities and writings, and a record of possible insurrectionary groups that she may have influenced.
Eleanor denounced the ways by which Hoover's FBI procured its information as "Gestapo-ish" and wrote outraged letters protesting the investigations of her friends and even of her personal secretary. Yet despite her protestations, her "file" would continue to grow until her death.
Highlander Folk School
In 1958 Eleanor spoke at a civil rights workshop at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee. This portion of the file includes a copy of the $100 check she sent the school, press coverage of the event, and a document relating to the Klu Klux Klan's threat on her life. Four items are included in this section.
Eleanor Clubs
Rumors about the existence of "Eleanor Clubs" launched an all-out investigation during the war. The clubs were assumed to be the undergournd organization of black domestic workers who were planning subversive attempts to eradicate segregation in general, and black manual labor in particular. The clubs bore Eleanor Roosevelt's name because of her professed condemnation of segregation. Three items are included in this section.
Eleanor's Red Record
Many Americans during and after World War II were anxious with a fear of Communist infiltration. Groups such as the "Citizen's Committee to Combat Communism" sprung up and attacked Eleanor's associations with "subversive" groups. One item, Eleanor's red record, is included in this section.
Other Propaganda Items
J. Edgar Hoover kept a record of propaganda, as well as articles written by Eleanor's arch-enemy in the newspaper world, Westbrook Pegler. Five items are included in this section.

- how to link attachments to posts - either individual post or full discussion - they need to be exported as HTML, but I can't just write the attachments out to disk and then link to them in HTML of the post. additionally I can't just put a placeholder link in the HTML because that introduces a dependency on an external system to be able to decode that. I can't keep the existing file url to the attachments because that assumes whoever views this in whatever resulting system this ends up in has access to moodle which is obviously a fallacy.
- attachments by themselves are trivial however. (assuming reliance on files api)
ideas welcome

single database entry is a bit tricky - the obvious place to put it is with the edit/delete icons, but they're part of the templates as far as I can see, so not really able to be changed retroactively.... any suggestions?
The edit and delete functionality is also very important to the functioning of the database module, yet we allow teachers to control it by editing the template, so why not allow them to control the export to portfolio button in exactly the same way? Make a variable for it that gets substituted.
The only tricky bit is the upgrade script to add it to all existing templates. I would have though it would be possible to devise a suitable search-and-replace type database upgrade to do it thought.
single database entry is done with an upgrade to add ##export## to the list & single templates.
upload resource is dependent on http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-16325 which is blocking me so i'm closing this and will open a separate task.

This year was the sixth year for the Arapeen Jamboree held in Ferron. More than 50 people from across the US and Canada came to enjoy the beauty of the San Rafael and the Manti LaSal Forest. Local residents and members of the SouthEastern Utah Off Highway Vehicle Club were the guides for the rides.
Mark H Williams, organizer of the event, said, "The jamboree this year was perfect. We have grown a little each year and we are now where we would like to maintain. This is a rural area and this influx of people has an impact. We can handle this amount of people and we are very grateful for those who attend. I have had comments that this jamboree is better than the big ones because the guides are friendly, the rides are manageable, and everyone gets to know everyone. It seems to be a lot more fun when everyone gets to know everyone else."
First time attendees Ann and Bob Roenicke along with Nancy and Tom Polk came from the Redding, Calif. area to check out this experience. The two couples are on a two month travel spree to visit jamborees and other events around the southwest. One of their first stops was in Ferron for the Arapeen Jamboree.
Ann said, "This has been a wonderful jamboree. The scenery is spectacular. It was almost as great as the people I met," she quipped. "It has been a lot of fun and the jamboree is small enough to be family like and friendly."
Ann's husband Bob added, "We drove into the area last year and I honestly was not impressed. I was a little skeptical coming into the jamboree. This experience has been a pleasant surprise. The guides were great and very informative with the history of the area. And, because of the small size of this jamboree, it is great to get to meet everyone here and talk and get to know everyone."
"As far as jamborees go, this one is great. I like the compact size because the guides are not overwhelmed with the number of people and can visit with everyone on the ride. You learn a lot about a community by the jamboree hosts. Through jamborees, a visitor can begin to feel a part of and get to know the community. This community allows that," said Nancy Polk.
Nancy went on, "As far as the rides, the scenery is spectacular. I was in awe around every turn. This little known area puts other, more well known places to shame. I have really appreciated the patient guides. They let us have all the Kodak moments we wanted. I want to thank Joan, Janice and Ellen who gave us an adventure on the ladies ride I will long remember."
Tom Polk continued, "I have enjoyed the scenery and diversity here. The scenery is spectacular and this jamboree is very different from the others. It is small and friendly. We are definitely coming back. One of the things I like about attending jamborees is that you get to meet people from all walks of life. The thing is, you begin with one common interest, riding ATVs. The camaraderie is really great."
Another first time attendee to the jamboree was Lynn Williams from Toquerville, Utah. Lynn said, "This has been a great experience. I have been to a lot of jamborees and this is by far the best. The size of this one is perfect. A rider does not get lost in the shuffle like the big ones."
As soon as the annual jamboree ended, the club began work to plan next year's festivities. Locals are welcome to ride any day, for a small fee to cover the guide service, and to participate in any other of the activities. Dinners are offered each evening following the rides, and prizes and drawings are held.

Ship Weight:0.35 Flavor:Stella's Super Beef Dinner Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Dog Food Stella's Super Beef Dinner 6 oz. (170 g) Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Dog Food Stella's Super Beef Dinner is 100% complete and balanced nutrition, made with raw, naturally-raised beef plus organic fruits and vegetables. When you check the list of ingredients in Stella & Chewy's Dinners, you'll see it reads like a "who's who" of wholesome, healthy stuff. Like raw, naturally-raised meat, poultry or fish, sourced from USDA-inspected facilities; organic fruits and vegetables such as cranberries, carrots, apples, spinach, broccoli and beets; healthful, direct-fed microorganisms (probiotics), natural tocopherols, chelated trace minerals and taurine; plus essential vitamins and minerals. And for your complete peace of mind, every ingredient is sourced from reputable suppliers. What you won't see are any of the usual suspects, like grain, fillers, artificial preservatives, colorings, added hormones or antibiotics. Stella & Chewy's doesn't even add sugar or salt! Chewy's Chicken Dinner is minimally processed in Wisconsin, and freeze-dried to lock in nutrition and flavor. Freeze-drying is a process that enables you to remove the moisture from products without cooking. The product is first frozen and then put into a freeze dryer. Inside the freeze dryer, powerful pumps create a vacuum and extremely cold temperatures. Very low levels of heat are applied to the shelves on which the trays of product sit, enabling the ice within the meat to "sublimate" directly into water vapor, skipping the liquid stage. The product changes from frozen to freeze-dried without ever being thawed or cooked, thereby retaining all of the nutritional value of raw meat, minus the water. With Stella & Chewy's Freeze-Dried Dinners and Treats, you get the best of both worlds; the benefits of raw food with the convenience of a dry food. At Stella & Chewy's, they're dedicated to the simple proposition that pets should be healthy and happy every day of their lives. Just as their love is unconditional, so should the care they receive and the quality of what they eat. They also believe that dogs and cats deserve to thrive on pure, simple, minimally processed food – the way nature intended. That's why Stella & Chewy's natural dinners aren't cooked like most commercial pet foods, and why every patty is made with select organic produce and raw, USDA-inspected meat. But the first concern you probably have about feeding a raw diet is the safety of your family and pet. So you'll be pleased to know that Stella & Chewy's products are produced with exclusive SecureByNature food safety process (patent pending), designed to make them safe from harmful bacteria naturally, while retaining the food's nutrient value and flavor. Their commitment to quality starts with the ingredients. Every Stella & Chewy's product is made with raw, naturally raised meat, poultry or fish, sourced from USDA-inspected facilities, without added hormones or antibiotics. Chewy's Chicken Dinner, for example, contains raw, farm-raised chicken as well as organic cranberries, carrots, apples, spinach, broccoli, beets, squash and pumpkin seed. Just like all of Stella & Chewy's products, it's made without grain, fillers, artificial preservatives or colorings. They don't even add sugar or salt! And every single ingredient they use is sourced from reputable suppliers. Nutrition as nature intended.Commercial pet food is one of the most highly processed products on the planet. Prepared at extreme temperatures, much of its nutritional value is literally cooked away. In contrast, Stella & Chewy's products are natural and raw, which many veterinarians believe is better for pets. Because the closer foods stay to their natural state, the better they are. Plus, all of their dinners and treats are made with real, raw meat. So they're full of flavors that dogs naturally crave. Why a raw diet might be right for your pet.Pet owners and veterinarians tell us that a raw diet has helped improve appetite and digestion, healthy skin and coat, stamina and vitality, and helps support a healthy immune system. The first raw meals and treats that are safe for your family and pet.Of course, Stella & Chewy's knows that you're concerned about bringing a raw diet home for your pet. So you'll be pleased to know that Stella & Chewy's products are produced with their exclusive SecureByNature food safety process (patent pending), designed to make them safe from harmful bacteria naturally while retaining the food's nutrient value and flavor. Plus, every batch they make is tested before packaging. Hydrostatic High Pressure (HHP) is a technology that "puts the squeeze" on food pathogens without cooking out vital nutrients or changing the natural taste. It's based on the discovery that bacteria cannot survive at pressures five times those found at the deepest sea level. To date, HHP is the only scientifically recognized pasteurization process that does not use heat or irradiation to accomplish this. But that's just one of the steps they take to protect the health of your family and pet. All Stella & Chewy's products are produced, from start to finish, at their own federally-inspected plant in Muskego, Wisconsin. They're so confident in the quality and safety of their products, the test results are posted on the Stella & Chewy's website! Clean ingredients: All Stella & Chewy's farmers and suppliers provide Letters of Guaranty stating that their meats and produce are fresh, are unadulterated and in full compliance with all applicable federal regulations. Clean machines: Stella & Chewy's goes far beyond the letter of the law when it comes to keeping their operation clean. Unlike many pet food companies, they clean and sanitize equipment at the end of every day. HACCP compliance: Stella & Chewy's strictly follows Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Guidelines, a prevention-based food safety system established by the FDA and USDA. When Marie Moody rescued Chewy from an animal shelter, he was a severely sick pup. She put him on a raw meat diet upon a veterinarian's advice. Chewy recovered and he and his best friend, Stella, thrived on this diet. Marie's experience with Chewy taught her that the right food (and a lot of love) can promote a pet's health and well-being. But, the more she learned about animal nutrition, the less she could understand why there wasn't a commercial product as good as what she could make at home. So with the help of veterinary nutritionists, Marie Moody created Stella & Chewy's. Today, you can find Stella & Chewy's products in pet and specialty stores throughout North America and on many online outlets. But no matter how big this growing business gets, they'll remain firmly committed to improving the health and happiness of pets. They're not only striving to make a difference in the quality of life of your pet, but to save the lives of less fortunate dogs and cats. To that end, Stella & Chewy's donates a percentage of their annual profits and products to animal rescue groups and no-kill animal shelters.

Robert Kraft: Darrelle Revis took less money to come to Patriots
By Will Brinson | NFL Writer
March 24, 2014 4:08 pm ET
More NFL offseason: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Pro Days | Top free agents
ORLANDO -- Acquiring the services of Darrelle Revis isn't easy and it's certainly not cheap. But if you believe Patriots owner Robert Kraft, New England got a deal when they signed the cornerback to a one-year, $12 million deal in free agency this offseason.
Kraft said at the 2014 NFL owners' meetings that Revis could have gotten "considerably more money" by going to another team but chose New England instead.
"Here's a young man who really much had his choice of any team he wanted in the NFL and he came to us," Kraft said. "He could have gotten considerably more money going to other teams. He still came to us and I think he knows we're committed to winning as an organization. I really believe his priority is trying to win."
Kraft pointed out that he thinks Revis, who he's met with this offseason, has focused more on the importance of winning as opposed to the importance of making money moving forward.
"He's really [stepped up] his commitment to training. I know he's gone to Arizona he really wants to win," Kraft said. "And part of it, sometimes I think young men come in the NFL and they come from modest backgrounds financially and they're able to make a lot of money and it's a turn on. I think of myself in business when I started out and then you realize what's important and I think he's trying to find a balance of making a very comfortable income but at the same time he wants to win.
"There's no doubt in my mind that football's very important to him and he wants to win. And the same is true is with everyone else we've signed this offseason."
Revis and Brandon Browner -- who Kraft says the Patriots did their due diligence on -- should become a formidable duo at cornerback for New England once Browner returns from his four-game suspension.
Given how well New England's done the last decade, there's a good chance Revis will get plenty of chances to taste victory.
It doesn't hurt that he'll collect a "lesser" sum like $12 million in the process either.

He got $16 mil per year with the Patriots, that magic number he loves. 2 years $32 mil, with the 2nd year being a option so either he gets $25 mil in 2015 or hits the open market to get paid again.

|In response to Re: Indirect draining a washing machine
: The floor drains could very well be vented, the vent would be under the floor, then run to a wall, then connect to an existing vent that penetrates the roof.
That's theoretically possible, but doesn't happen to be the case. There is only *one* vent in the house: the top of the main stack is the only penetration through the roof. The sinks and lavs had S-traps, and the upstairs bathtub was on 8' of 1-1/2" galvanized drain line with no vent. The house is 75+ years old; they didn't know as much about venting in those days.
Under these conditions, the chances that they vented the floor drains are nil. In any case, if there were vent lines, they'd have to connect to the main stack somewhere, and I can see the entire length of the main stack from the attic and there aren't any connections other than drains.

Caregiver since: 2001Patient-to-Patient Support Line Volunteer since: 2003
I am inspired to continue to be a Support Line Volunteer because of my daughter Shannon. She has been fighting PH since she was five years old. Shannon is the reason why I am committed to helping others get through PH.
One of my most memorable calls happened when I spoke to a woman who had just been diagnosed with PH. The woman did not know anything about PH. She was very nice and just really wanted help. She didn't even have a doctor yet or know about what PHA could really offer. She called multiple times that week. During those calls, I helped her find a doctor and connected her to a support group. Afterwards, she was so gracious and thankful for my help.

Mila Kunis: The Good Bad Girl
It's been a quick rise to the top of the sartorial ladder for Shailene Woodley, the wholesome American girl who plays George Clooney's wonderfully mature daughter in The Descendants. Maybe too quick. While the rest of the girls her age are experimenting and finding their own personal style, Shailene is being shoved down red carpets in borrowed gowns. So there are bound to be some hits and misses along the way. I loved what she wore to the parties following the Oscars ceremony. She's not one to dress like a tart (she's into high necks and long sleeves), but by turning to a brand like Proenza Schouler, there's still a bright, youthful kick to the covered-up look. She has the rest of her life to look dowdy, so I like it when she looks so young and vibrant.
I mean, who cares what she's wearing when she has that hunk on her arm. But if I put my hand on my computer screen and cover him up, Victoria Beckham looks just as divine in her own dress at the Vanity Fair party. I've always been a fan of Posh (she was my favorite Spice Girl in the 90s, not that that comes as a shock to anyone), and I've been duly impressed with how she has slowly and steadily built her fashion empire. And it's red-carpet moments like these that prove why: She's her own muse, and her own best model.

adorable low heel
"These are very work appropriate and just super cute. I already own the black patent pair and was able to pick up the silver in store on sale. I actually went up 1/2 a size in these and they feel perfect. They are very well made, quality shoes and I think they're good for all seasons."

"I got this shoe in Pewter. The color is so much prettier in person! It looks matte in the photo but is a more true silver color. The low heel height makes this shoe very comfortable. They run a little long though."

clean + easy
clean + easy Facial Waxer
- Overview
- Features
- Removes unsightly hair from eyebrows, upper lip and chin
- The clean, fast and easy way to remove hair for up to 6 weeks
- Hair regrowth is finer and sparser
- Small and convenient size-great for travel
- About the brand
Just plug in the clean + easy Facial Waxer, and it is ready in 15 minutes!
It may take a few sessions with your waxing unit and wax applicator to become proficient. For the best results, be sure to read all instructions thoroughly before waxing. All it takes is a little patience to learn the right way to wax and get the results you want.
FOR BEST RESULTS: Before using any new product on your skin, always patch test a small, less noticeable section of the area you are going to wax. If there is no adverse reaction after 24 hours you may continue. Hair should be about ½ inch (6mm) long before waxing. Wax only a small area at a time until you are familiar with the process. Room temperature should be at least 75F. Heat applicator in waxing unit for 15 to 20 minutes with cover on the waxing unit. Variations in electrical service may lengthen the heat-up time. The wax applicator is ready to use if you see air bubbles rising easily to the top when you invert the applicator. If you do not, return the applicator to the waxing unit for additional heating. Wait at least two hours after bathing or showering before waxing to prevent skin irritation.
PREPARATION: Attach roller head to wax applicator after removing plug and place in waxing unit. Replace waxing unit cover and plug waxing unit into outlet. Allow wax to warm for15-20 minutes. Do not overheat. (Note: clean+easy Wax applicator is designed to be heated in this waxing unit only). Do not heat wax or heater in microwave, any other oven or on stovetop. Before waxing, cleanse skin with soap and water to remove oil, make-up or perspiration, but do not bath or shower less than 2 hours before waxing. Dry skin thoroughly. Always apply a light dusting of talcum powder before waxing.
GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR APPLYING WAX: To start new rollers flowing smoothly prior to waxing, remove applicator from waxing unit and turn upside down. Wait a few seconds to allow air bubbles to rise and wax to flow into the roller head. Hold applicator by the sides at a 45 degree angle. Always roll in the direction of hair growth.
Roll in one smooth motion. Do not roll back and forth. One thin coat of wax is all that is necessary. Do not squeeze applicator. After applying wax, return applicator to waxing unit. Keep unit plugged in until waxing session is complete. Always close cover to maintain proper wax temperature.
REMOVING WAX: Apply wax remover strip and rub briskly in direction of hair growth for 3-4 seconds. With one hand, hold the skin taut. With the other hand, pull off the strip in the opposite direction of growth. Use one quick motion parallel to the skin.
AFTER WAXING: If any wax residue remains on your skin, re-apply the wax remover strip, rub firmly and remove as usual. Apply clean+easy After Wax Cleanser over area, rubbing lightly for a few minutes. Repeat if necessary until wax wipes off with a damp cloth. Do not try to remove wax by washing with water. After use, return applicator to your waxer, close the cover and unplug. Allow your waxer to cool then store upright.
WARNING: Do not wax inside nose, ears, on nipples, eyelashes, warts, and moles or near genital areas. Do not use if you have varicose veins, diabetes, phlebitis, chapped, sore or sunburned skin, recent scar tissue, eczema or any other skin disorder. Do not use if you are using Retin-A, Accutane, Glycolic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy treatments or Steroids.
For over 10 years, clean + easy hair has been one of the leading hair removal systems for spa and personal use. Offering everything from microwavable waxes to electrolysis, hair removal has never been so clean + easy!
Soooo Easy!I have used this product since 2001 and have saved thousands in waxing costs. The slider function is totally useless, so I just don't use it. I heat up the wax, pour the wax onto an applicator stick, apply the wax via the stick and use a muslin strip to remove the wax. This is literally the cleanest way to wax (I have tried everything). I love it so much that I am buying another one for back up!!!Sep 15, 2013Tami G. / Littleton, CO

Simply Does Not Work At All!As a big tester of various hair removal techniques/products I was delighted to find something small and compact for travel. This product simply does not work at all. I thought maybe I didn't follow the instructions correctly or that my facial hair was too fine but after 5 attempts, I gave up. Stick to the pot wax.Dec 5, 2012Carol / Canada

Didn't WorkI bought this thinking it would be easy to use and in fact my stylist at the salon had one (I thought). Couldn't get it to work and after talking to professionals it seems the wax does not get hot enough. My stylist had a different heating mechanism.Oct 2, 2012Dorothy

Not Hot EnoughI bought this item because I love Clean and Easy. we have a big clean and easy waxing set at the salon I work at. it was great when I found this with only the facial wax. my downfall: the wax did not heat up enough, it was already too hard to roll out before I covered the area! I also tried different outlets and another system and had no luck!Mar 10, 2009Whitney

Great Facial WaxerI have tried many over the counter waxes and this is the best I have ever tried. It is very easy to use and very clean. I love how you just plug it in and its ready in a few minutes. I use it on my upper lip and on my daughters unibrow. I LOVE IT! I would highly recommend itDec 27, 2008Lisa Hinojosa / Mission, Texas

Average ProductI purchased this product to get rid of the facial hair, mainly eye brow. The wax is good but the slider doesnt help. Due to the slider entire process becomes messey. This is an average product.Jan 28, 2008Shweta / Lexington

- Psych / Garage
- Label:
- Ace Records
- Format:
- Catalogue Id:
This product is also available in these versions:
Ace Records Sampler Volume 3: Garage, Beat And Punk Rock, CD (£5.07)
The Garage / Beat / Punk Rock record kicks off with the weirdest soundtrack to a car ad for a long while. Have Love Will Travel, the Richard Berry classic as mangled by the Sonics, must have helped shift a pile of Land Rovers. Stable-mates the Wailers are next up and out of their trees, a pretty good way to start any garage band selection. OK the Revels is a bit earlier, but a little weirdsville never hurt anyone. These Spiders are not from Mars, but from Japan, where they were doyens of the GS scene in the 60s, as indeed were our own spookily named Zombies, both here and even more so Stateside. The Wheels were from Belfast and you better believe it. We have three short sharp bursts of Punk Rock next and note that the version of Melody Lee by the Damned has never been out before. Finally we return to the garage, though this time for the 80s revival, kicking off with Billy Childish second group Thee Milkshakes and four tracks later their girlfriends the Delmonas. For four years in the early 80s these garage bands were the only people left standing up for real music by real men (& women) against a plethora of haircuts and trousers worn by men playing ironing boards. The Bugs - now they were a band that mysteriously came and went time for a fresh outing.

Flights among the largest airlines in August were more punctual than in July, but slightly later than during the same period a year earlier, according to the Transportation Department.
The on-time arrival rate was 78.8% in August, a significant improvement from 73.1% in July, according to the department's Air Travel Consumer Report released Wednesday.
FLIGHT TRACKER: Is your flight on time?
But the 16 airlines tracked by the department had a better record a year earlier, when they recorded an on-time rate of 79.1% in August 2012.
The best airlines for on-time arrivals were Hawaiian, Alaska and Delta. JetBlue had the lowest one-time arrival rate among the airlines studied, followed by Southwest and American Eagle, which is American Airlines' regional affiliate.
More than one-third—33.83%--of those late flights were delayed by weather. That is down from 32.95% last August.
Darryl Jenkins, airline analyst and chairman of the American Aviation Institute, says changes in on-time arrival rates do not necessarily reflect any differences in the way airlines are operating.
"The month to month changes reflect little else than change in weather," he says.
But Alan Bender, professor of Aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, says he believes airlines are improving their operations.
"Passengers can justifiably complain about being nickel-and-dimed by airlines and for an overall degradation of in-flight service, but there is now overwhelming evidence that airlines are doing the most important thing right: taking people where need to go in a timely and reliable fashion," he says.
He also points out that airlines have been more profitable and that their on-time performance is showing up in their bottom lines.
"Operating profits are at near record levels," he says. "This is not merely a function of higher fares, fuller planes, stable fuel prices, and less competition, but in terms of efficiency as well. If airlines were not doing things right for most passengers, their profits would not be as high are they are."
Among the tardy flights were two tarmac delays of more than three hours, which the department is investigating because airlines can be fined $27,500 per passenger for holding them on planes that long.
Both flights – one on United affiliate SkyWest from Kalispell, Mont., and the other on Southwest from Los Angeles – were scheduled to arrive in Denver on Aug. 3, but were diverted due to storms.
Airlines canceled 1% of flights in August, down from 1.3% in August 2012. That is also an improvement from July's 1.7% cancellation rate.
They mishandled fewer bags as well. There were 3.12 reports of mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers in August, down from 3.38 last August. That was also down from July's rate of 3.68.
There were 978 consumer complaints against U.S. airlines in August, down from 1,410 last year.

For a second, I thought you meant the Charles Keating that stole $500 million with the crooked S&L he ran in the 1980s.
He was convicted, but the case was thrown out due to the mistakes of the judge, the ever incompetent, Lance Ito!
I'm sure the money is hidden away in the Caymans, Panama or Lichtenstein, for his rotten grandchildren.

"wonderfully comfortable, warm & waterproof."

Love these boots!
"These boots are warm, waterproof and all around wonderful. Well worth the price tag, I wear them with skinny jeans and sweaters for the perfect balance between dressing up and dressing down. Wore them for hours on my feet without discomfort. Definitely recommend. Only downside is that they are pull on which makes jeans bunch up a little, but there's enough room to put a hand in and smooth them out"

Almost Perfect
"I will agree these boots live up to the name of waterproof. My only complaints are they are a little hard to get into if you have a high instep like myself. The bigger issues is a seam along the side has started to pull loose with minimal wear. I hope this is an isolated incident because I can see Cougar being my "go to" brand for winter."

Very Sad
"I love these boots. The suede is amazing and the seem like they would be super comfy and great for cold Wisconsin winters.. Sadly I had to return them since they were too small and didn't fit my calves. I was very sad to see them go even the girl at the store thought they were amazing."
