About the San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition
Host of the Bay Area Walk Against Genocide
The San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition is an alliance of San Francisco Bay Area organizations, groups, and individuals working to stop the genocide in Darfur, help end war in and bring peace to Sudan, and promote anti-genocide strategies for any and all genocidal conflicts around the world. Our activities emphasize awareness and education about the root causes of the current situation in Sudan and advocacy with the US government.
In 2007, the San Francisco City Council awarded SFBADC Director and President Mohamed E. Suleiman with the city Certificate of Honor. The Save Darfur Coalition also named him a Darfur Hero in October 2007.
We make numerous presentations to middle and high school students, colleges, civic organizations, and faith-based groups. SFBADC organizes free open-to-the-public events with speakers, films and discussions throughout the year. Our leadership is in ongoing communication (by correspondence, phone and personal visits) with the offices of California Senators Feinstein and Boxer and SF Bay Area representatives in Congress on issues regarding Sudan and anti-genocide measures.

I can't seem to get the vision out of my head, of the Camp Director at Camp Baldwin as she talked to the Scoutmasters early one morning . Was it her appearance, could be, but I know it is all because of what she said.
She talked a few minutes about how the Scouts had arrived at camp… a leader brought them.
She spoke briefly about who taught them how to cook and clean up the camp when done… a leader.
She elaborated about the person that would be calming a home sick Scout down one night this week… a leader.
She thanked all of us for the many hours that we dedicate to providing the program of Scouting to the boys in our units.
We hear "thank you's" and the like a lot. Parents thank us on occasion, Scout leaders thank us, and once in awhile the Scouts do to. We appreciate that, but rarely solicit the thanks, the pats on the back or the always popular 100 Grand bar at the Christmas Court of Honor.
Scouters that understand the value of the program and see the impact it has on our boys need no thanks, no pay, no accolades. We do it because the boys keep showing up, we will sacrifice time and energy and dedicate countless hours to provide the very best for them.
I had the pleasure of conducting a Scoutmaster conference for one of the young men in my Troop this past Monday night. He said that he had overheard some of the Adult leaders talking about how much we got paid. He asked me if the money was good and if I get benefits.
I replied to him that the money was awful but the benefits were outstanding!
He asked why I did it if the money was no good? Then I explained that my payday comes with every smile and success, every mile on the trail, and every quiet night by a camp fire. Every time I get to honor a Scout with achievements and awards. I told him that one day when he is a man, and a productive member of our community, when he runs for office, starts up a business, or just gets his 20 year watch at a company or a plaque that reads "For Loyal and Faithful Service". I will get paid. When he comes back to the Troop for a visit and he has a story to tell about the great time he had in Scouting… I will get paid.
In short… the boys are our pay day! And that is all we need… to watch them grow and become men of Character.
The Camp Director thanked us. She thanked us for being there for the Scouts. And I for one appreciate it. I did not need it, nor did we ask, but it sure was nice to hear.
And so I in turn Thank all of you that dedicate your time and energy in providing the very best program in the world for our boys. I thank you for taking time from your life and making sure that an example of selfless service is set for all to see, especially the Scouts. I thank you for maintaining the spirit of Scouting and teaching the values found in the Oath and Law, not only with your mouth, but with your actions.
Thanks a million.. you are truly worth the 100 Grand bar coming your way!
Have a Great Scouting Day!

My exposure to Italian wine is not as frequent as it used to be; I spend so much time wrapped up in Bordeaux and the Loire, that opening an Italian bottle – perhaps as part of one of my vintage reviews at 10, 15 or 20 years of age – often comes as something of a treat.
So I was glad recently to take a look at these wines sent by Vitalonga, not least because my Italian experience focus so often on the classic regions, Tuscany in particular. These wines hail instead from Umbria, a small and land-locked region not quite midway down Italy's peninsula.
I have tasted previous vintages of these wines, reported here, and these latest releases showed better. Particularly notable was the Sangiòvese cuvée, which is bright and pure. It's intended for drinking soon, judging by its style (and synthetic closure). Not a complex or deeply characterful wine by any means, and not every wine should be; this is just a glass of dry and fruity joy. My favourite, though, was the Terra di Confine, which demonstrates that there is life beyond Sangiovese in this part of Italy.
Vitalonga Sangiòvese IGT (Umbria) 2011: Bottled under 'Korked' synthetic closure. A very good colour to it, dark but with a vibrant rim. Some attractive fruit on the nose here, sweet and fresh, not confected, with some darker tones to it, hints of cherry and blackberry, but crisp, fresh, and biting rather than darkly ripe. A very nice texture on entry, and this conviction is not lost through the middle, which broadens a little in terms of texture, caressing quite gently, with freshness of fruit, a correct structure, good acidity and dry extract. For the level (and price perhaps?), a real success. Sure it's straightforward, but it's delicious, uncomplicated, easy-drinking wine. 14.5/20 (January 2013)
Vitalonga Elcione (Umbria) 2009: Bottled under natural cork, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot frm clay and chalk soils, fermented in steel, with six months in French barrique thereafter. The aromatics are bright and cool, and despite the varieties used it's clear from the outset that this possesses a very Italian style. There are notes of cranberry skin, sweet red cherry and black pepper, all with a slightly diffuse, roasted-fruit, caramel-vanilla tinge no doubt from the oak. It has a sour-fruit character on the palate, with very firm Italianate acidity and structure, never fleshy or flattering, leading into a dry finish. A rather attractive style, albeit with better definition to the structure of the wine, which with a little time shows a bright, peppery endpalate, than there is to the fruit. 14.5/20 (January 2013)
Vitalonga Terra di Confine (Umbria) 2009: A blend of 80% Montepulciano and 20% Merlot, fermented in steel and aged in French oak barriques for 12 months. A dark hue in the glass, but a vibrant rim. The nose certainly speaks of the principal variety, with scents of blackberry and black olive, with a dark and sooty underbelly, as well as a honeyed application of oak. The palate is fresh, medium-bodied and showing bright acidity cutting through the fruits which here have a more sappy and biting, just-ripe feel than the darker scents on the nose suggested to me. It has a very lively, acid-bound style, which leads into a short finish. Good wine. 15/20 (January 2013)

UPDATE: Building occupants return after gas leak
Posted April 9, 2012; 03:30 p.m.
Occupants have returned to Princeton University campus buildings that were evacuated due to a gas leak earlier this afternoon, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Occupants of the Friend Center, the Computer Science Building, 185 Nassau St. (Lewis Center for the Arts) and 41 William St. (Princeton University Press and the Program in Teacher Preparation) were temporarily evacuated as a precaution after workers in the vicinity of William and Charlton streets ruptured a gas line.
No injuries were reported. Occupants returned after the Princeton Fire Department confirmed that no gas had collected in the buildings.

basics. Solids will always hold a special place in our hearts, but we cant help but obsess over all of the fun, bright, colorful prints that surround us every day! We think that adding a dot, a stripe or a chevron to your project can give it that extra something. It can turn a plain top into something hip. It can add that pop of color that you didn't know you were missing. Incorporate prints into your projects (and stash) and keep them feeling fresh, fun and colorful.
Our best selling printed basics are Robert Kaufman's Spot On, Ann Kelle's Remix and Riley Blake's Chevrons. These three groups fly off our shelves and wind up in trendy quilts and projects. Here are the top ten sellers of each of these groups. If you see something you like, just click the link and add some to your stash.
1. White on Black Polka Dots 2. White on Red Polka Dots 3. Bright on Hot Pink Polka Dots 4. White on Orange Polka Dots 5. White on Hot Pink Pindots 6. Bubblegum on White Polka Dots 7. White on Pink Polka Dots 8. Black on White Pindots 9. White on Pink Pindots 10. Sorbet on Lime Polka Dots
Our top ten prints from Robert Kaufman's Spot On are full of color. From larger dots to pin dots in almost every color imaginable, there is definitely a spot for everyone. Add some to your stash, we know you will love them.
1. Lime Scatter Dots 2. Bermuda Zig Zags 3. Red and White Zig Zags 4. Red Scatter Dots 5. Tangerine Scatter Dots 6. Aqua Scatter Dots 7. Pink Scatter Dots 8. Chocolate Scatter Dots 9. Sunshine Scatter Dots 10. Bermuda Fun Dots
Our top ten Remix prints are primarily scattered dots and zig zags in all different colors, but the collection has so much more to offer. Ann Kelle's Remix collection contains over 110 skus and is growing! Her prints are bold and hip and the patterns range from whimsical butterflies to bold zig zags.
1. Gray Medium Chevron 2. Aqua Medium Chevron 3. Red Medium Chevron 4. Navy Medium Chevron 5. Hot Pink Medium Chevron 6. Yellow Small Chevron 7. Orange Medium Chevron 8. Red Large Chevron 9. Black Medium Chevron 10. Girl Small Chevron
Chevrons are all the rage. They are spotted in fashion, home decor, graphic design, quilting (of course!) and much more. Riley Blake Designs has a comprehensive line of chevrons in a variety of sizes and colors, making it very easy to incorporate them into your projects. And they will soon be introducing Holiday and School Colors Medium Chevron, so be on the look out!
What is your favorite print? Are you seeing spots or crazy for stripes? We would love to know!

Answers by Expert:
No homework questions, especially ones copied and pasted from textbooks. I will answer questions about principles or give hints, but I do not do other's homework. I'm comfortable answering basic biochemistry, chemistry, genetics, and biology questions up to and including an undergraduate level of understanding. This includes molecular biology, protein purification, and genetics. My training/inclination is primarily in structural biology, or how the shapes of things affect their function. Other interests include protein design, protein engineering, enzyme kinetics, and metabolic diseases such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Regrettably, I cannot diagnose any disease. I can tell you how we currently understand the basic science behind a disease state, but I cannot recommend treatment in any way. Please direct such questions to your medical professional.
I hold a PhD in Biomedical Science from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. I specialize in Biochemistry, with a focus on protein chemistry. My thesis work involved the structure and functions of the human glucose transporter 1. (hGLUT1) Currently I am a postdoc working in peptide (mini-protein) design and enzymology at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. I am in Bjorn Steffensen's lab, researching inhibitors of gelatinase A, a matrix metalloproteinase. I have also been answering Chemistry/Biochemistry questions on this site since summer 2010.

Obama to resume military commission trials for Guantánamo detainees
By Sam Youngman - 03/07/11 03:07 PM ET
President Obama on Monday ordered trials by military commission to resume at Guantánamo Bay.
The move signals another defeat for Obama, who pledged to close the terrorist detention facility in Cuba within one year of taking office.
In a fact sheet, the White House said Obama remains committed to closing the facility, but the presidents decision to lift the ban on military commissions signals the unlikelihood that Obama will successfully transfer all of the prisoners in Cuba.
Shortly after Obama came to office and announced his goal of closing the facility, the administration suspended new charges in military commissions in Cuba.
But on Monday, Obama directed Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to issue an order rescinding his prior suspension on the swearing and referring of new charges in the military commissions.
The White House said that the president ordered changes in how the commissions were run to make them more fair.
The administration, working on a bipartisan basis with members of Congress, has successfully enacted key reforms, such as a ban on the use of statements taken as a result of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and a better system for handling classified information, the White House said.
With these and other reforms, military commissions, along with prosecutions of suspected terrorists in civilian courts, are an available and important tool in combating international terrorists that fall within their jurisdiction while upholding the rule of law.
Additionally, Obama by executive order created a periodic review process for detainees who cannot be tried or released because they represent a continued threat to national security.
The White House said the review will help to ensure that individuals who we have determined will be subject to long-term detention continue to be detained only when lawful and necessary to protect against a significant threat to the security of the United States.
If a final determination is made that a detainee no longer constitutes a significant threat to our security, the Executive Order provides that the Secretaries of State and Defense are to identify a suitable transfer location outside the United States, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and applicable law, the fact sheet said. As the president has stated before, no Guantánamo detainee will be released into the United States.
Wellllll, maybe next year.

Obviously, no group can remain productive if everyone is simply arguing for sport. However, groups die even faster when everyone simply accepts a prevailing opinion without challenge. Going back to the original thrust of this thread, I believe that teachers should encourage discussion of controversial political and social issues in class. However, they need to do it in a way that encourages kids to form and articulate their individual positions (not the teacher's position or the most popular kid's position) and then helps them learn how to craft proposals for action that require finding ways for members of a group to work together even though they may disagree on some specifics. This type of team work is the foundation for business, governance, and even healthy families.
The teacher in the video did not do this. It would have been appropriate for her to point out to the girl whose father was in the military that McCain had indicated that we could be in Iraq for many, many years. However, this should have been done to foster discussion of the issues, not to attempt to force the girl to convert to the teacher's position. In the same manner, the teacher should have asked the boy who said he preferred Obama because he was black how he would feel if another child opposed Obama because he was black.

Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I know we're treading on thin ground to stay appropriate for the topic but how I can the majority of society improve to bring all levels of society up with them? the masses are the customers in other words.
how to make it topical the freedom of the slaves encourage they're being more customers too.
when the slaves were freed they extended a lot of them credit so they would yet still be enslaved. not everyone has the noblest interests just for the sake of altruism of course.

Back on-topic, attempt #1: one of the political people in the film struggled with his hatred of slavery, but how to implement freedom and enfranchisement in reality. And, this was not a real consumer economy yet in the 1860s, even though it was capitalistic.
Back on-topic, attempt #2: does anyone know if recordings existed in the days of Lincoln? Had Edison invented such technology by then, did someone else do it, or had it not yet been intro'd? That is just the way I figured Abe would speak, as Mr. Day Lewis spoke, but I don't know why.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.

Oh, my....how disappointing!
¡Que la fuerza te acompañe!
Skyfall. Great Bond flick.
Bataan. Gotta love those old WWII movies made during the war. So politicially incorrect.
Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. Still fun.
Watched Christine for the first time yesterday. As far as Stephen King movies go it was pretty good. I wouldn't go so far as to call it scary though. Could there possibly be anything LESS frightening than being chased by a gigantic car? All you have to do is get off the road.
Land of the Dead - another okay movie that wasn't really that scary. I didn't really care for how they tried to make the zombies into sympathetic characters and too much of the movie was tied up in the human characters trying to fight over control of some dumb vehicle that looked like a reject from a 1980s Sylvester Stallone movie.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I saw Christine for the first time myself not too long ago.
I noticed how Michael Bay borrowed elements from the movie for Bumblebee's character - the radio and the stalking (of Sam in TFs' case) - also the ability to repair herself.
It made me think Christine was a TF stuck in her alt-mode. She seemed a lot less scary than Barricade when the Decepticon cop car attacked Sam - and I wouldn't call TFs scary movies, but they did succeed in making the Decepticons threatening.
It just seemed like a natural comparison to Christine.
But overall, the story pacing was good and the plot flowed nicely. I can't remember how it ended any more though.

Mad Men Season's I - IV. Pretty good, not great. As far as those types of shows goes my all time favorite still is Deadwood. Still, MM is pretty darn good.
Okay, my weird tradition of watching war movies while putting up my Christmas tree continues. (Don't ask why).
* Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Been a long time since I'd seen this one.
* Appointment in Berlin. British spy movie made during the way. Alan Napier, Alfred from 'Batman,' played an intelligence officer.
* Triumph of the Spirit. A supposedly true story about a Greek Jew who boxed at Auschwitz to entertain the Germans. Gonna research this story a little further.
Watched The Hobbit tonight and was pretty impressed by it. In some ways, it was more of a kid's movie than the LOTR films, but in other ways it was actually a lot darker than those same films. I really have almost nothing negative to say about the film. If I really had to nitpick, though, then I'd say that some of the dwarfs didn't look dwarfish enough, especially Thorin. Other than that, everything about the movie was amazing. It was cool to see a more happy-go-lucky Gollum... relatively speaking of course.
I could definitely see the ZBrush influence on the CG models this time around too, because they were vastly improved over the already excellent models from the LOTR trilogy.

Enriko Kehl Continues to Rise with a Spinning Elbow KO at Thailand vs. Europe 2013
- Written by Dave Walsh
If there's anyone flying under the radar in the 70 kg weight division, it's Enriko Kehl. The twenty year old German sensation put on some seriously impressive performances during 2012, including a KO win over Nonsai at last year's Thailand vs. Europe, as well as a collection of Tatneft victories. Kehl came into Thailand vs. Europe 2013 off a hotly disputed loss to Dzhabar Askerov. Keep in mind Askerov went on to defeat Any Souwer at Yokkao 2013 not long later, so this should give you an idea of exactly how good Kehl is, or has the potential to be. Last night he took to the ring again against Berneung Topking Boxing, who himself was coming off a loss. Berneung may not be in his prime of his life, but he still has the ability to put solid wins together.
Kelh demonstrated why we at Liverkick are excited about this kid. After a relatively even first two round, Kehl threw a right elbow, which Beneung dodged, and continued the rotation into a second spinning elbow, catching the Thai flush on the jaw and sending him to the canvas in a crumpled heap. Medics immediately rushed into the ring to revive him, and he was still unable to stand when Kehl's victory was announced. I think Enriko would make a great addition to any big-name league, whether it be Kickboxing or Muay Thai. He can go places.
Also on the card, Phuket Top Team's Nonsai Sor Sanyakorn faced perpetual journeyman Steeve Valente, and ended his night with a TKO elbow victory midway through Round 3. "The Black Sniper" Marco Pique failed to rebound from a loss to Raphael Llodra, losing a unanimous decision to Suriya Prasathinpimai. In the surprise of the night, Christophe Provost won a decision victory against Changpuek Sor KeawSuek, who had most recently won back-to-back victories in the Korea MAX tournament, and Thai Fight 2013.

Taken in the park inbetween the Kremlin and the Moscow Manege.
Moscow Manege is a large oblong building which gives its name to the vast Manege Square, which was cleared in the 1930s, adjacent to the more famous Red Square. A manège is an indoor riding academy.
Designed by Spanish engineer Agustín de Betancourt with a unique roof without internal support for 45 m, it was erected from 1817 to 1825 by the Russian architect Joseph Bové, who clothed it in its Neoclassical exterior, an order of Roman Doric columns enclosing bays of arch-headed windows in a blind arcade, painted white and cream yellow. The roof, with its internal rafters and beams exposed, rests on external columns of the Manege.

University seeks input on campus plan, Nov. 8
Posted November 2, 2006; 09:47 a.m.
This month, members of the University and local communities will
have an opportunity to learn more about the University's new campus
plan and to provide feedback on the effort through an open forum and a
Web site.
"Plans in Progress," the open forum, is scheduled for 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 8, in the Chancellor Green Rotunda. Phase one of the Web site went live on Nov. 2.
The University is midway through a two-year effort to create a comprehensive plan for the campus that will guide development over the next 10 years and beyond. The open forum and the Web site are intended to provide an opportunity for the planning team to learn more about issues that matter to the University and local communities as well as to make available more detailed information on the planning effort.
"A campus planning effort is significantly enriched through the ideas and suggestions offered by community members," said Executive Vice President Mark Burstein.
Those attending "Plans in Progress" will be able to view a large model and dozens of visual displays set up around both floors of the rotunda on all aspects of the campus plan, with themes ranging from landscaping and sustainability to parking and transportation. Stations also will focus on the various campus "neighborhoods" that are part of the plan, such as Alexander Street/University Place, which the University is considering as a location for various facilities to meet the goals of its new creative and performing arts initiative.
Members of the planning team will be available at each display station for discussion and to answer questions. Those attending will be encouraged to fill out feedback cards with ideas about how the campus should grow. Refreshments will be served.
The Web site incorporates and expands on many of the materials presented at the open forum. It includes a timeline describing the development of the campus since it was established in Princeton in 1756, along with maps and images. Like the open forum, it is organized by theme and by neighborhood. As work progresses during the year, additional information will be posted on the site. Feedback also will be sought through a mechanism on the Web site.
The planning effort is being led by the award-winning firm of Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners LLP. Working with a team of seven other planning and design firms specializing in transportation engineering, landscape design, storm water management, parking and wayfinding, BBB is taking a fresh look at the 400-acre campus, providing a framework for campus growth that seeks to strengthen and reintroduce a landscape network throughout the campus while improving traffic, parking and pedestrian circulation between the campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
The initiative follows an intensive series of internal discussions with senior administrators, faculty, architects and other key stakeholders through which the University has developed a set of overarching principles for campus planning and development: maintain a pedestrian-oriented campus; preserve the park-like character of the campus; maintain campus "neighborhoods" while promoting a sense of community; develop in an environmentally responsible manner; and sustain strong community relations.

Answers by Expert:
Almost any question or concern about gay men's health issues, sexually transmitted infections, abnormal Pap smears, anal cytology (anal "Pap smears"), etc. There is no such thing as d/d free or clean (free of infection), so why do so many of us deceive ourselves into thinking that some people are indeed totally free from a potentially infectious disease, like HIV, herpes, hepatitis, syphilis, chlamydia, warts, gonorrhea, etc., just because they say so? Clinical laboratory tests are not perfect, and having a negative or nonreactive test does not mean that a person is free from infection. Perhaps at the moment the test was taken, the person was uninfected; or, perhaps, the test wasnt sensitive enough to detect presence of the infection. There is really no way that anyone can determine that they are truly disease free, and there are over a hundred of infectious conditions that can be spread without your knowing anything. Rather than trying to pre-screen or serosort a potential sex-mate with deceptive questions that are impossible to know by todays technologies, a wiser option may be to consider everyone infected with something, and either use appropriate protective measures (safer sex), or accept the responsibility and consequences of possibly catching something from someone whos hotter than expected (pun intended!). There is much research that supports the contention that an HIV positive person reliably taking HIV medications, and having an undetectable viral load, presents a lower risk for transmission of HIV than people who may think or say they are HIV negative, but are not.

BMW Recalls Motorcycles that Could Fall Over Unexpectedly
BMW AG is recalling certain S 1000 RR motorcycles from the 2012 and 2013 model years because their side stands could become loose and potentially allow the bikes to fall over. While it is possible for a falling motorcycle to injury the rider or bystanders, it is almost certain to wound the rider's ego.
In a document filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the company said the side-stand bolts may loosen due to a manufacturing flaw, and as a result the stand can separate from the motorcycle's frame. The problem affects 2,385 bikes built from September 2011 through December 2012.
Under the recall BMW dealers will clean the side-stand mounting plate threads and replace the side-stand mounting plate bolts, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin next month. Owners may contact BMW at 800-525-7417 or email BMW at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This isn't the first safety problem for the high-performance, 193-horsepower, $15,000 BMW super sport bike. The company recalled certain S 1000 RR models last spring for engine flaws that could result in failures from "thrown rods."

Armed robber tackled during grocery heist
SPOKANE, Wash. - A suspect trying to hold up the G & B Grocery at Francis and Crestline got a rude awakening Monday night when he was tackled by an eyewitness and held for police to come collect.
The family who owns the grocery store is from India and Monday night, when someone tried to rob their store, they dodged a bullet -- literally -- to protect their customers and to keep a crook from getting away.
"Last night, around seven o'clock, I was taking care of a customer so he could have beer and one gentleman came (inside) with a hood and a gun and asking for money," G & B Grocery owner Cal Singh said.Robber chased down
The suspect, later identified as James Hopkins, 25, pointed his gun at all six people inside the store at the time of the attempted robbery, including a pair of teenagers.
Just about the time Hopkins is ready to take the money and run, Bittu Singh runs down Hopkins, even after the suspect fired a shot into the floor as Singh closed with him.
"So he point a gun and him and me and back and forth, and he didn't stop, and he was moving backwards towards the door to get out, and by that time he shot one round. Luckily he didn't get hit so he tackled him down out the door," Singh said.
Spokane police admire Singh's bravery, but say because just property was being stolen as opposed to people getting hurt he should have left the crime fighting to better equipped professionals.
"This is our job. Let us take that bullet. Let us put ourselves in that line of fire. I really don't want anybody else doing it. In this case it worked out, but if you watch the video you'll see it's an extremely dangerous situation," Spokane Police Officer Jennifer DeRuwe said.
Singh and other witnesses held Hopkins until police arrived.
"I'm glad because at least the cops got him so he can't come back and do the same stuff again," Cal Singh said.
Hopkins shouldn't have had the .22 caliber pistol he used in the hold-up; first, it was stolen and second he's already a convicted felon. During his initial appearance Tuesday Judge Annette Plese set Hopkins' bail at Tuesday at $150,000.

This picture, taken earlier in the season is where we hunt in unit 1, its all public land as far as the eye can see.

An expanding and aging population is playing a crucial role in boosting China's pharmaceutical market revenue
Singapore: GlobalData has in its latest report on China's healthcare industry highlighted that the country's pharmaceutical market value will climb from an estimated $48 billion in 2012 to a massive $315 billion in 2020, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.5 percent.
This increase will see China's pharmaceutical market become the second largest in the world, with surging revenue propelling industry value significantly closer to that of the US, which GlobalData forecasts the revenue to reach $475 billion in 2020.
An expanding and aging population will also play a key role in boosting China's pharmaceutical market revenue. With the country's elderly population expected to account for 19 percent of its total population of 1.41 billion in 2020, GlobalData expects to see a rising prevalence of chronic diseases, which will in turn spark an increasing demand for treatment.
This factor will also be a primary driver behind the rising value of China's medical device market, the second largest in Asia, behind Japan, which GlobalData forecasts will climb from $20 billion in 2012 to $54 billion in 2020.

Before I began teaching each group, I reminded students to raise their hands to contribute answers. Each group spent about 15 minutes with me. When not with me, each group played chess games supervised by the Chess Program Director.
Queen Day
Explained the Wolf and Sheep activity from Read, Write, Checkmate: Enrich Literacy with Chess Activities. Had students vote about whether they wanted me to
play the wolf (queen) or the sheep (pawns) against them. Then I called on them (one move for each student) to make their side's moves while I made my side's moves.
Practice: Played Wolf and Sheep with partners.
And for the chess-player the success which crowns his work, the great dispeller of sorrows, is named "combination."

IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas
Join the National Museum of the American Indian in New York for the opening of IndiVisible: African-Native American Lives in the Americas, a collaboration between the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the Smithsonian Institution Travelling Exhibition Service (SITES).
The opening will feature a discussion with curator Dr. Gabrielle Tayac (Piscataway) and Dr. Heriberto Dixon (Tutelo)
About the exhibit: African and Native peoples came together in the Americas. Over centuries, African Americans and Native Americans created shared histories, communities, families, and ways of life. Prejudice, laws, and twists of history have often divided them from others, yet African-Native American people were united in the struggle against slavery and dispossession, and then for self-determination and freedom. For African-Native Americans, their double heritage is truly indivisible.

I really need to start writing my chapters for the O'Reilly Mozilla book I'm co-authoring. Looks like CamWorld might suffer because of these commitments and all the work being sent our way from Collab.Net.
Working long hours to get the UI for Scarab done. It's looking pretty good and should be an excellent replaceemnt for Bugzilla, which has very hard-to-use forms.
Emailing back and forth with Dave Winer about respect and points of view on the web. The man simply doesn't get it, and insists he is always right. I'm tired of the whole issue and will make attempts to avoid him both online and off. He certainly is not a fan of open source software and will not be an ally in anything I do for the next few years.

More than half of New Zealanders intend to opt for convenience this Christmas and buy some of their presents online, according to a survey.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau of New Zealand (IABNZ) conducted an online survey of 907 kiwis and found 56 per cent were planning to choose their mousepad over the mall this year.
Convenience was stated as the number one reason (43 per cent), with books, DVDs, and games topping the online shopping list.
Consumers are becoming more sophisticated and retailers need to better leverage online channels accordingly, said Laura Maxwell-Hansen, IABNZ chair and general manager of Yahoo!NZ.
"Online shopping is borderless and while convenience is cited as the number one reason to buy Christmas presents online, price and range are also key factors.
"Businesses need to offer customers a seamless experience across multiple touchpoints and start their online campaigns early."
Another major reason for choosing online shopping - stated by 19 per cent of respondents - was that it made price comparison easy.
People also said buying online made it easier to find bargains and offered a wide variety of products.
Fewer than a third of those surveyed had already started their Christmas online shopping, with the largest proportion (35 per cent) intending to do so between December 1 and 15.
Of those surveyed, 28 per cent said they intended to shop on local retail websites like Trade Me, rather than international e-commerce sites.
A report out from MYOB last month showed New Zealand businesses were typically slow adopters of new technology.
Only 35 per cent of just over 1000 SME owners have so far developed a dedicated company website, according to The State of the New Zealand Digital Economy report.
Just over 60 per cent said they did not see the value in having a website, despite the fact that 86 per cent of kiwis are now online and 80 per cent use the internet to make purchases, said the report.
With so many people shopping online, businesses were simply missing out from not having a website, said New Zealand Institute of Economic Research principal economist Shamubeel Eaqub.

We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life
For me and you
So sang Eric Burdon of The Animals in their 1965 hit song, "We Gotta Get out of This Place." Unfortunately, it could serve as the theme song for Connecticut.
A Gallup Poll released last week found that roughly half of Connecticut residents, 49 percent to be precise, responded that they would leave the state if they had the opportunity. Only Illinois, with 50 percent wishing they could flee, ranked higher in resident unhappiness.
While one might try to dismiss this number on the premise that Connecticut Yankees are surly by nature, and so likely to respond affirmatively when questioned whether the grass is greener elsewhere, the fact is that there are plenty of Yankees in Maine, too. Yet residents there are among the most satisfied, with only 23 percent saying they would leave.
Many find it just too darn expensive to live in this state. The Gallup pollsters found cost of living was a major factor in why so many residents of Connecticut and New York (41 percent) would just as soon leave. Crowded Connecticut highways, high taxes and struggling cities probably don't help either.
There was no breakdown how residents in different sections of Connecticut responded, but with its mixture of small towns and cities, coastal communities and rural environs, we'd like to think fewer residents of southeastern Connecticut are so unhappy they want to exit, but that thinking may be wishful.
Sixteen percent of state residents say it is likely they will actually move from the state in the next year, also among the higher such numbers.
These are troubling responses. It is not a good sign for the future of the state economy if people want to leave. And the factors driving the negative attitudes cannot be easily turned around. There is reason for concern.

Dear Alibi,
I am so happy, but not surprised, that the Alibi printed a piece in support of our club, the Highland MCs [Thin Line, "Jowls Aquiver," March 15-21]. I've always read, passed on to my students and respected the Alibi. Now I am a die-hard fan for life.
The MCs and I needed a little help. Although the school has been supportive, I worry that people look at us differently. We are trying to be positive and real. The students at Highland face many adult issues in their daily lives. It would be useless to ask them to make music that does not reflect any of these issues. They are influenced by the hyper-sexual society we live in. They are not kids anymore, really. We have many pregnant teens attending class on a daily basis. Is it our job as educators to ignore or deny this?
Your column was well-written and insightful. Thank you so much for being there for us.
Dear Alibi,
I want to express my appreciation to the Alibi for effectively reporting on the latest trends and backstories regarding Albuquerque that are often missed or ignored by other local publications. A timely article found in your March 15-21 issue [Talking Points, "Free Market, Free Thinking"] was an interview by Jim Scarantino of the Rio Grande Foundation's Paul Gessing, whose opinion pieces have appeared in local newspapers and who has been making a well-financed and organized splash regarding mass transit, among other political issues regarding the city.
While timely and answering the question of why the former director of government affairs for the ultra-conservative National Taxpayers Union had entered the fray on an issue of local concern, the interview was flawed in many ways: from its fawning tones (that he deserves to appear on a list of "Young New Mexicans to Watch"), leading questions (now why is the state motto "more government"?) and the almost comical attempt in the interview to allow Mr. Gessing to separate himself from his Republican and ultra-conservative mentors and financiers. In other words, Mr. Scarantino provided little, if any, journalistic insight or skepticism with his subject.
Aside from those defects, the interview was revealing. I found interesting Mr. Gessing's assertion that "we state the facts and choose not to resort to personal attacks." Was he stating "facts" when, in an article that appeared in the Jan. 26, 2007, National Review, he distorted and made up facts regarding the state budget increases under Gov. Richardson, or perhaps it was when he mischaracterized the city light rail system as a "tourist trolley"? There are many other examples of distortion and misinformation in his previous job at NTU, such as when he made a similar attack on the highly successful Washington subway line in 2001, but the list would be too long and you get the point.
Mr. Gessing may come by his opinions honestly and one cannot help but admire his rhetorical skills in disinformation, but they are no different from the ideologically extreme protect-the-rich policies that have always come out of the NTU, the Cato Institute and from wealthy oilmen: no taxes on the personal income or estates of the super rich; privatization of Social Security, Medicare and education; further deregulation of the already tragically deregulated airline industry; opposition to all mass transit; support for urban sprawl; union busting.
What Mr. Gessing does not acknowledge (and will not since it does not fit in with his polemical and mildly misleading approach to civil discourse) is the fact that virtually everyone favors limited government: liberal and conservative alike. After all, you don't hear anyone in mainstream politics calling for the dictatorship of the proletariat or public ownership of (what remains of) American industry.
The real issue, which goes unsaid, is whose power is limited and whose is not. Do we as a people allow the further concentration of wealth and power into the hands of the few or do we use government to benefit the people as a whole and provide opportunity to the greatest number of citizens?
For example, he makes the nonsensical statement that "government bureaucrats must rely on force to achieve their goals" while, supposedly holding in contrast: "people acting voluntarily are usually better equipped to create a just, livable society." Well, the latter statement is the definition of democratic self-government, in the absence of which we have rule by the rich and strong over the poor and weak. (Let's ignore for a moment the demonization of public servants and public service which sounds very much like a personal attack on a group—I am surprised to learn as a retired senior Navy officer that my authority rested solely on force and not constitutional government and the rule of law. Perhaps this reveals more about how conservatives view governance—making them unfit for public service—than it reveals about the rest of us.) Under democratic self-government everyone has at least the chance of equality and accountability through the electoral and judicial process. Otherwise we are left with authoritarianism, oligarchy, corruption and a form of economic monarchy. In other words: the same old discredited social Darwinism that earlier generations discarded.
The public spoke loudly at the ballot box in 2006 against, among other matters, what is one of the most corrupt political eras in our nation's history. We have witnessed the out-and-out pilfering of the public coffers in the name of privatization, free enterprise and outsourcing by the likes of Halliburton, Enron, Lockheed Martin and other defense companies, and the entire Bush administration and its rich cronies. Billions of dollars went to Iraq on pallets and were never seen again. It boggles the mind that anyone, after this record of malfeasance, would consistently take a position against the effective working of democratic government in support of the public interest. Our democratic system is broken but it is broken because of the concentration of wealth and power and corruption of our economic elites, the manner in which they subvert our public institutions, and their ability to avoid accountability. That is where we need to direct our attention.

Letters may be edited for length and clarity, and may be published in any medium; we regret that owing to the volume of correspondence we cannot reply to every letter.

Modal shift
Modal shift means replacing a mode of transport that has a negative impact on congestion and the environment with a more sustainable solution. Rail transport is unbeatable in terms of sustainability and has a positive effect on the environment and mobility as well as safety.
It is our ambition to realise modal shift towards rail transport by offering the best customer-oriented and high performing rail products. Products that are reliable, fast and easily accessible with high frequency, all at a competitive price. By realising modal shift, B Logistics will enable profitable growth and have a positive impact on the environment and mobility.
More and more industries, governments and organisations are committed to reducing CO2-emissions. B Logistics can help them succeed in their mission.
Revolutionary improvement
Making the shift from road to rail requires revolutionary product improvements and innovations that boost performance. Our Green Xpress Network already offers a network of reliable, fast and direct connections throughout Europe. We continue to optimise and extend our product portfolio in an innovative manner by bundling intermodal and conventional volumes. Moreover, we are continuously streamlining and upgrading our entire rail network.
As rail transport has not evolved much in the last 100 years, innovation is key to bring it into the 21st century. B Logistics is all for a complete redesign of rail operations. We already are one of Europe's most innovative players in the rail industry, implementing tools and applications that significantly improve quality, efficiency and safety (e.g. tablets for train drivers and station personnel, e-learning platforms, scientifically developed planning tools, …). We aim to stay a frontrunner in cargo-by-rail.
No time to waste: let's shift together
Our mission to realise modal shift is an ambitious one. The B Logistics track record proves that our organisation can indeed achieve incredible results. We are all set to take on this major challenge.
We will need allies however. We are always looking to join forces with talented individuals who want to make a difference for the environment and mobility. Meanwhile, stakeholders such as infrastructure management companies, governments, … have yet to create the right conditions to enable the shift to happen.
Ultimately, our customers decide what is needed for them to prefer rail over road. We are investing heavily in better understanding their needs. Industries and logistics partners appreciate our ambition and we will go for it to get them on board to support our mission. Together we will make a difference.
Now is the time to act. Come on, let's shift together.

Maybe we can use this thread to annotate the many wasted tax dollars that simply do not have to be spent.
For example, we are paying $184.26 for Bill Clinton's premium cable TV. My basic package from Dish is about $55. That gives you all the news stations, which a former President might be considered to truly "need". That would be a savings of about $130/mo, or $1,560. We're also paying for the Carter's cable TV. If we throw in GW and HW Bush (though figures for Bush were not mentioned), that's $6240/year. That's $62,400 over 10 years. All these fellas could easily afford to pay for cable TV entirely out of their own pocket, having far more in income than the average Joe making $60K a year. So, why do we pay for it?
As with "corporate welfare", sould we call this POTUS welfare?
Clinton is providednearly $1 million dollars allocated to him from the government to cover post-presidency expenses like personnel, travel, rent and postage.That seems quite generous ... you can buy a lot of services for $1 million a year. For 5 former POTUSes tha's $5 million a year ... plus the Secret Service protection (which they will now get for life).
Seems like they could do just fine much less.
