Bible Text:
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. —Zechariah 4:6
When we now see things in a despairing condition, let this vision come to our minds—that God is sufficiently able by his own power to help us, when there is no aid from any other; for his Spirit will be to us for lamps, for pourers, and for olive trees, so that experience will at length show that we have been preserved in a wonderful manner by his hand alone.
Thus we remember that all our confidence ought to be placed on the favor of God alone; for were it to depend on human aids, there would be nothing certain or sure. For God, as I have said, withdraws from us whatever may add courage according to the judgment of the flesh, in order that he may invite or rather draw us to himself.
vWhenever, then, earthly aids fail us, let us learn to recline on God alone, for it is not by a host or by might that God raises up his Church, and preserves it in its proper state; but this he does by his Spirit, that is, by his own intrinsic and wonderful power, which he does not blend with human aids; and his object is to draw us away from the world and to hold us wholly dependent on himself. —Commentaries
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."
These devotional readings from John Calvin were compiled by John H. Kromminga. Be sure to read his "Introduction" to John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart.

Mont. Voters Approve Parental Notification Ballot Measure
November 7, 2012 — Montana voters on Tuesday approved a ballot measure (LR 120) that will require parental notification before a minor younger than 16 can obtain an abortion, the AP/Billings Gazette reports. The measure received nearly 70% of the vote, according to the AP/Gazette (AP/Billings Gazette, 11/7).
The initiative permits exceptions for abortions without parental notification in cases of medical emergencies (Cates, Great Falls Tribune, 11/6). Additionally, minors who cannot involve a parent or guardian in their abortion decision could petition a Youth Court for a waiver (Women's Health Policy Report, 10/15).
Physicians convicted of violating the law could face a six-month prison sentence and a $500 fine.
Supporters of the law say that parents should be involved with the decision to get an abortion, while opponents note that all Montanans have a right to make private medical decisions (AP/Billings Gazette, 11/7). Opponents also have said that mandatory notification could put minors who are abused at additional risk (Women's Health Policy Report, 10/10).

LIVE from the NYPL: Cognitive Theater: An Evening with Peter Gelb, Bartlett Sher & Patrice Chûˋreauinstigated by Paul HoldengrûÊber
Program Locations:
Over the past few seasons, Met General Manager Peter Gelb has enlisted some of the world's greatest directors to heighten the theatricality of Met productions. Two of the finest, Bartlett Sher and Patrice Chûˋreau, will join Gelb for a conversation on opera, theater, and the art of directing. Sher, who won a Tony Award for his direction of South Pacific, made his Met debut in 2006 with an acclaimed new staging of Il Barbiere di Siviglia. He returns to the Met this season with a new production of Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Chûˋreau makes his long-awaited U.S. opera debut this season with a new production of JanûÀcek's From the House of the Dead the staging caused a sensation when it premiered in Europe in 2007. Paul HoldengrûÊber instigates a conversation with these two visionary directors and the man who brought them to the Met.
About Peter Gelb
Since taking over as General Manager of the Metropolitan Opera in 2006, Peter Gelb has launched a host of initiatives to revitalize opera and connect it to a wider audience. Under his leadership the company has recruited increased numbers of the world's great theater directors, secured more performances from top singers, and launched the Peabody and Emmy Award-winning series . The Met: Live in HD,. which presents live performance transmissions in movie theaters around the world. Other initiatives launched by Mr. Gelb include a round-the-clock satellite Met radio channel; free open houses for the public; a $20 rush-ticket program; and a new contemporary art space in the Met lobby.
About Bartlett Sher
Bartlett Sher made his Met debut with Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia during the 2006-07 season and returns during the 2009-10 season to direct a new production of Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann. He received the 2008 Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award for the current Broadway revival of Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific at Lincoln Center Theater. Also for Lincoln Center, he directed Awake and Sing! and The Light in the Piazza, receiving Tony Award nominations for both productions. He made his operatic debut in 2003 at the Seattle Opera with Marvin David Levy's Mourning Becomes Electra, a production that was presented by the New York City Opera in 2004. Last summer he directed Gounodôs Romûˋo et Juliette at the Salzburg Festival. Sher won the 2002 Joseph A. Callaway Award for his staging of Shakespeare'ss Cymbeline and more recently received the Julia Hansen Award for Excellence in Directing by the Drama League of New York. He has been the Artistic Director of the Intiman Theatre in Seattle since 2000.
About Patrice Chûˋreau
At a young age Patrice Chûˋreau became well-known to Parisian critics as director, actor, and stage manager of his high-school theatre. In 1964, at the age of 19, he began directing for the professional theatre and in 1966 he created a very busy Public-Theatre at the Parisian suburb of Sartrouville. 1969, Chûˋreau staged his first opera. The following year he established a close relationship with the leadership of the Piccolo-Teatro in Milan, Paolo Grassi and Giorgio Strehler. In 1975 he worked in Germany for the first time directing Edward Bond's Lear. He often collaborated with Claude Stratz. Chûˋreau's most discussed production was his 1976 centennial staging of Richard Wagner's tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen at the Bayreuth Festival, conducted by Pierre Boulez. Polarizing fans and critics, Chûˋreau chose to set the operas during the 19th-century Industrial Revolution, and was thought to have emphasized the dramatic rather than the musical elements of the works. Patrice Chûˋreau's influence on opera productions around the world was increasingly visible ever since that milestone production, having substantial impact on concepts of other directors and designers who had chosen to follow similar path of "modernization" of many traditional (in style) operatic presentations in opera houses around the world.

Bristol Rovers defender Gary Sawyer is nearing a return to full fitness but will not be available for the clash with Cheltenham this weekend.
Sawyer underwent close-season surgery on hernia and groin problems and has yet to make a competitive appearance for the first team in the 2011/12 season.
However, he played 70 minutes of the Pirates' reserve clash with Brentford in midweek and could return to the fray within a fortnight.
Midfielder Matt Gill is expected to be fit for the match, but may struggle to get into the XI after Rovers won 3-2 at league leaders Morecambe last time out.
Otherwise, manager Paul Buckle has no injury worries, although striker Jo Kuffour is set to join Gillingham on loan after falling out of favour at the Memorial Stadium.
Cheltenham's loan signing Luke Garbutt is eligible to represent his new side.
Garbutt joined on a one-month deal from Everton on Thursday, and may well go straight into Mark Yates' matchday squad at the Memorial Ground.
However, it is unlikely the 18-year-old will start - with the club keen for him to get to know his team-mates first - so he may have to settle for a place on the bench.
Otherwise, Cheltenham are injury and suspension free for the short trip to Bristol, as they look to take home their first three-point haul in four League Two outings.
Meanwhile, on-loan Birmingham keeper Jack Butland has been called up by England Under-21s for the upcoming international matches against Iceland and Norway.

OTTAWA — Holly Bridges would awake at night in a bed that looked like a "pig had been slaughtered."
The former CBC journalist's sheets and her nightgown would be blood-soaked as she crawled to the bathroom to replenish her menstrual supplies by taping together two super-sized pads.
During the day, she'd bring a change of clothes to mask her profuse bleeding, making multiple trips to the bathroom. She was anemic, in constant pain, foggy-headed and in search of a solution.
All she was offered was a hysterectomy to remove her uterus, along with the fibroids that caused the bleeding.
Desperate, the then-47-year-old was set to undergo the radical procedure when her sister was killed in a car accident. The death of her sister — who had been against the hysterectomy — shattered Bridges' resolve.
She went on a quest to find relief without having to undergo major surgery.
The result is not only a pain- and period-free life, but a book called UnHysterectomy: Solving Your Painful, Heavy Bleeding Without Surgery that she hopes will start a movement to give women options.
Some 47,000 Canadian women have hysterectomies each year, in most cases because, like Bridges, they suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding caused by fibroids. And Bridges says her research proves most of these procedures are unnecessary.
Women undergo radical and unnecessary hysterectomies because the silence surrounding menstrual functions means there is no push for better treatments, she says. Women are taught that periods are embarrassing and unmentionable. But this silence hides significant suffering for the one in four women who have abnormal uterine bleeding.
One study says these women lose an estimated $5,000 a year in wages, supplies and prescription painkillers because of the debilitating and sometimes life-threatening condition.
Another study cited by Bridges said women with abnormal uterine bleeding "have the same quality of life and level of function as heart attack and stroke victims entering rehabilitation." But "these women are not in rehab or even in hospital. They are at work, on the soccer field, in the grocery store or on the bus, struggling to stay afloat," she says.
And most of these women are offered no options but a hysterectomy, which often involves removal of the Fallopian tubes and ovaries and, frequently, deep abdominal cuts.
Bridges' search for an alternative led to Dr. Sony Singh, who had just been appointed director of Minimally Invasive Gynecology at the Shirley E. Greenberg Women's Health Centre of the Ottawa Hospital.
One of the world's leading experts on alternatives to hysterectomy, he was hired to make minimally invasive procedures a priority at the Centre. Now, of the 300 procedures he performs each year, he can use minimally invasive procedures in 95 per cent of cases. He stresses that in some cases, hysterectomies are still necessary, especially with gynecological cancers. But even with those cases, the least invasive procedures should be used, he says.
"In the world, I have one of the highest rates of minimally invasive approaches compared to our American and European colleagues," he says.
Bridges calls him a "miracle worker."
Almost a year to the day after her sister died, she had two of the most "high-tech" and "state-of-the-art" alternatives to hysterectomy available in the world. She had a hysteroscopic myomectomy to cut out the largest of her fibroids, and she had a hysteroscopic endometrial ablation to burn the lining of her endometrium to stop, or reduce, her periods.
For both procedures Dr. Singh inserted an eight-millimetre scope called a hysteroscope into her vagina, through her cervix and into the cavity of her uterus. A tiny camera on the end of the scope projected a live picture onto two plasma screens above to show the gynecologist exactly where to cut away the fibroids and burn the lining of her endometrium. The procedures took 90 minutes.
"A few hours later, I was up and around — no pain, no pain killers, no incisions, no stitches and all my reproductive organs intact," she writes in UnHysterectomy.
Bridges says that using minimally invasive gynecology could mean significant savings to the health-care system.
She called for free-standing clinics where women could receive these procedures, instead of clogging up hospital operating rooms. But most hospitals don't have a microscopic camera, which cost the Greenberg Centre $200,000. The disposable tools used in each procedure also cost between $800 and $1,000 each.
Dr. Singh says there are many benefits to the health-care system and for women. "We reduce complication rates, infection rates, and we improve quality of life significantly."
In Bridges' book, edited by Singh, she looks at why hysterectomies are over-prescribed and describes 10 alternatives to hysterectomies. She also delves into the world of heavy menstrual bleeding and its causes, and probes why women aren't told about alternative procedures.
At facebook.com/unhysterectomy, Bridges communicates with women around the world to help them make more informed choices.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- I'm covering the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game today.
It has become something of an annual rite that these two teams meet in the playoffs. They met last year in the title game. They have played six times since 2007 and this will be the third playoff meeting between the teams.
And all that time, the rest of the AFC East that is charged with knocking the Patriots down in the regular season has not been able to do it. The Dolphins did sneak in to win a division title in 2008 in what now seems like a mirage. And believe it or not, the Jets have had the most success unseeding the Pats from their playoff perch.
And still that hasn't been enough.
The primary reason? Let's face it, it's the quarterback. Tom Brady.
I believe as long as Brady is playing for the Patriots, the rest of the AFC East teams will be playing for a wildcard slot because Brady and the Pats are simply too dominant. So when will Brady, 35, go away? When will the door open for the other AFC East teams?
As I write in my column today Tom Brady is not declining. And in comparing him to Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas and others, Brady isn't suffering the ravages of time. Check out which QB I believe he is comparable to as he ages.
If my comparison is correct, it might be 2018 before we're done seeing Brady in New England, folks.
One legend that will be leaving the NFL after this season is Ray Lewis. I appreciate that dude. He is a great player. He is a great leader. However you feel about that long-ago murder charger (later dropped) is not the topic today.
The topic today is whether Lewis gets a chance to go out on top by advancing to the Super Bowl. Or whether he will bow out after this game.
On another matter, I want to share with you a good example of how uncertain things are for the Dolphins these days.
On Saturday, Jackie Long, the wife of Jake Long, tweeted what is a clear statement of how little certainty the Dolphins have given the Dolphins offensive lineman.
"Getting a little tired of not knowing where we'll be next year!" she tweeted. "I don't wanna move but if we have to leave I better start organizing!"
This seems like a sign that the Dolphins are quite willing to let Long walk this offseason if the price is not right on a new deal.

Just when you thought authority brings with it a sense of proportionality and responsibility, we have the Arab Palestinians to remind us "ain't necessarily so."
When the "Palestine" delegation to the United Nations had its status upgraded to nonmember observer state last week, there were some who believed the name change would imbue Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas and his colleagues with a boost in both prestige and in seriousness.
But according to Haaretz, when UN members walked into the UN General Assembly Hall on the day after the vote, they saw that the sign identifying the delegation had been changed. Before the upgrade the sign had read "Palestine" – never mind that there was no such place as "Palestine." But last Friday there was a new sign on the table in front of where the Arab Palestinian delegation sits. It read: "State of Palestine."
If it wasn't so pathetic it would be laughable. Actually, most people think it is both. Who else but people with little tiny egos and an even smaller list of nation building successes could need to – literally – put out a sign in an effort to show they fit in the actual world of serious statehood?
Anyway, the buttons-popping pride in their statehood – even if it is confined to a sign on the table – had to go because the Arab Palestinians did not follow the proper protocol in several different ways, including that any name change has to occur through a vote by the UN General Assembly. In addition, the sign was not made on the official machine that is used to create all signage at the UN.
This time the unilateral and illegal manueverings by the Arab Palestinians were treated appropriately and the "State of Palestine" sign was removed.
But wait, there's more. Really.
Before the big vote to upgrade their status, the Arab Palestinians asked that Abbas be seated in a special chair on the stage at the UNGA meeting. When told by UN officials that such special chairs are only used at the opening September meetings, "Palestine's" envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour looked into the matter. Mansour found that the Pope had been seated in a special chair on a regular UN voting day. "No fair!" he whined.
The reported response:
"With all due respect, Abbas is not the Pope, or the Queen of England," UN officials told the Palestinian envoy, adding that such personalities receive the right due to their age and stature.
If only the 138 nations that voted to upgrade the Arab Palestinians' status at the UN last week had been as scrupulous about the requirements for statehood as the UN officials were about protocol and appearances.

Four DLC characters were promised for Mortal Kombat. We've seen Skarlet, Kenshi, and Rain. So who's next? Well, it's a bit of a shocker.
Yep, classic horror movie villain Freddy Kruger is the last fighter to join the fray. He'll be available to download on August 9th for $4.99 (or 400 Microsoft Points).
Unfortunately, as this is the final bit of DLC for the game, you won't be able to recreate Freddy vs. Jason. But, will Freddy vs. Kratos suffice?

First off the article totally underestimates the use of the hosts file. This is what existed before DNS and I still use it for my home network and non-dns based routes. Anyway what's doing this according to the update in the article is Windows Defender which cleans the hosts file automatically to prevent malware from redirected people. Since Defender can be disabled this is likely a feature not a bug.
If it's overriding a user's deliberate decision to disable an ad site in hosts, then it's a bug even if it's a 'feature'.
How is the system supposed to tell about changes to hosts file made from a user or from malware.
Windows Defender on = Microsoft runs my hosts file
Windows Defender off = I run my hosts file
It needs to either leave it alone if it is set read only or it needs to clearly indicate that it would like to make changes to the hosts file and allow the user to say no.
That gets to the issue of what security tools should do. For the average user what are they supposed to do with a message like "Windows Defender has detected invalid links in your hosts file, which is used in domain name resolution. Should it change these to match your ISP's name server's settings or leave them alone?"
They can't answer that. A question can't be the default since the vast majority of the time the person getting the question can't answer the question. Heck, the person who wrote the articl

The question to ask would be "one or more domains have been altered by placing entries in the hosts file. Did you do that on purpose? (if you don't understand the question, choose no)". Just to be sure, also provide an OK button for the user to click without thought that allows removing the entry.

SAN FRANCISCO — Facebook is trying to make its privacy controls easier to find and understand in an effort to turn the world's largest social network into a more discreet place.
The fine-tuning announced Wednesday will include several revisions that will start rolling out to Facebook Inc.'s more than 1 billion users in the next few weeks.
The biggest change will be a new "privacy shortcuts" section that will appear as a tiny lock on the right-hand side at the top of people's news feeds. This feature offers a drop-down box where users will be able to get answers to common questions such as "Who can see my stuff?"
Other updates will include a tool that will enable individuals to review all the publicly available pictures identifying them on Facebook.

UFC Cancels March 7th Fight Night Event Rumored for Windsor, Ontario
(Remember, this "schedule" is for entertainment purposes only.)
We're just 12 days into 2015, and the UFC is already learning that announcing an entire year's event schedule in advance is easier said than done. MMAJunkie passes along the word that the UFC Fight Night event slated for March 7th will not be taking place. The now-deceased card was expected to air on Fight Pass, and was rumored to be held in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. No fights had been officially tied to the event. According to an official statement issued to MMAJunkie:
"While rumors of an event in Windsor had been circulating, this event was never officially confirmed or announced by UFC. UFC did consider holding a Canadian Fight Night event in March. However, the organization always strives to put on first-class events in every city, and this was proving to be a challenge within the required timeframe."
If you look up there at the schedule, you'll see that the March 7th date was the fifth in a string of back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back UFC events from February 14th to March 21st. Good Lord. I can't imagine what the UFC matchmakers are going through trying to fill all these spots. However, our buddy Adam Martin suggests that there's more to this story than simply an overloaded event schedule collapsing under its own weight:Read More DIGG THIS

Brain cancer is a rising issue in America and the impact can be felt right here in Eastern Carolina.
57 year-old Barbara Mills of Ayden was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in November of 2009.
She is one of 22,000 people that is diagnosed with brain cancer annually in the United States.
Mills had surgery in December to remove what doctors say was a glioblastoma multiforme tumor, the most common type of tumor.
Mills has battled through five weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and take nearly 10 pills every day.
But, she says what hurts the most is knowing that brain cancer not only impacts her life, but the lives of those around her.
Mills said, "The hardest part has just been that, what it's done to my family. And, the things they've had to change because of me. Ya, know someone has to stay with me all the time. Someone had to carry me to my treatments, and I can't be left by myself at all."
Patients with glioblastomas normally have a grim diagnosis of 3 months to 3 years, but breakthrough research at the Lineberger Cancer Center in Chapel Hill may change the future. A study was released in late January by Dr. Neil Hayes, which found that glioblastomas have four different subtypes. It was a new discovery that researcher, Katherine Hoadley says could lead to personalized treatments in the future.
Hoadley said, "Hopefully the data that we've generated will help identify better treatments that are more effective in helping improve outcome for patients with glioblastomas."
While there is no concrete data to prove what causes brain tumors, studies from the world health organization have shown that this disease known as GBM, are hitting people of all ages. In the past 20 years, brain cancer in children 15 years-old and young have increase 35 percent.

Some people love this. In my mind they all look like this… and could be coaching Purdue. I would not want to get in a conversation with any of these people because they would have very strong opinions about things they know nothing about. They would repeat inane aphorisms as if those were the final word on any subject, and they would regard any dispute as evidence of a diseased mind. I have talked to these people on the radio some. It's not fun. I close my eyes and imagine the exact dimensions and color of their mustaches. They are boringly consistent.
This is classic Brian Cook, absolutely slathered with a clever sarcasm that is only equaled by its rational intelligence. It's like watching those old movies of pre-accident Chuck Close painting... or in this case, Denard running. Bravo, my friend.
Don't get me wrong, I hate what you're saying and I hope you couldn't be more wrong about next season, ya big naysaying bloggy freak... but that's some good stuff right there.

When retiring Boulder police Chief Mark Beckner took the helm of an embattled department in 1998, he had just come through an intense public process with four other candidates vying to replace Chief Tom Koby.
The department had been criticized for its handling of the investigation into JonBenet Ramsey's death and riots on University Hill. The city manager pushed back the hiring decision, and some rank-and-file officers were said not to support the hiring of an internal candidate.
But as Beckner prepares to leave the department he's led for 16 years, there appears to be little public concern or debate about who will lead the department next. The city has announced an interim chief — Deputy Chief Greg Testa — but no timeline or process for filling the position.
Monday is Beckner's last day on the job.
Boulder spokesman Patrick Von Keyserling said the city does not have a date or a timeline for permanently filling the position, and the process has not been finalized.
"Deputy Chief Testa is a 27-year veteran of the police department, and he is prepared to serve as interim chief until we fill this position," he said.
Testa himself has said he will apply to be chief. Boulder police commanders reached by the Camera declined to comment on whether they plan to apply.
However, Beckner said he has discussed the position with a number of people within the department, and Von Keyserling also said the city expects a competitive process.
"We have several qualified internal candidates who are likely to apply," he said.
Boulder City Manager Jane Brautigam said when Testa was named interim chief that the city will go with an internal candidate rather than conduct a national search.
"Boulder has a unique culture of customer service in its police department," Von Keyserling said. "Chief Beckner has worked hard to instill that approach throughout our police department. Part of our preference is to have a Boulder police chief who truly understands the community's values, and we think our best bet will be an internal candidate."
Von Keyserling said the city wants to take its time and make sure the process that is used will allow the city manager to identify the best person for the job.
Most likely, there will be several interview panels consisting of staff and law enforcement from other communities and "possibly representatives of the community or a union advisory group," he said.
Beckner leaving big shoes to fill
Rich Denig, president of the Boulder Police Officers' Association, declined an interview request and did not want to discuss the union's view of Beckner's tenure. In an email, he said the union hopes it has a meaningful opportunity to participate in the hiring process for the next chief.
"The ideal candidate will be a strong, visible leader and an effective communicator," Denig wrote. "The BPOA wants to have an integral part in the process. The selection process (should) be designed to be highly competitive, with members having the ability to actively participate and provide input on which candidate is the best choice to be the next Chief of Police."
The Boulder Police Department's other deputy chief, David Hayes, leaves in April to take over as chief of the Louisville Police Department. Hayes said he applied to Louisville in December, and he decided the day that Beckner announced his retirement that no matter what happened in Louisville, he would not apply for Beckner's job. Hayes was one of the other applicants back in 1998, when Beckner was selected.
"I think things turned out the way they're supposed to turn out," Hayes said. "The chief's position was just not for me in Boulder. I wanted to go back to my old home town. It's great being deputy chief in Boulder, but it's not the right place to be chief, for me."
Hayes described Beckner's legacy as taking the department "back to basics" and emphasizing solid police work.
"Mark is a master at knowing when to listen, knowing when to suggest and knowing when to order," Hayes said. "What that means in terms of a management style is that he's not autocratic, though he can be, but he listens until he can't anymore. He's also very good at listening to a concern and helping you through an issue."
Hayes said Beckner leaves behind big shoes for the next chief to fill.
"The challenges are going to be doing more with less," he said. "The issues and concerns on the downtown campus are not going to go away. What are the appropriate uses for that area and the right level of enforcement?"
The next chief will have to navigate a complicated political scene, Hayes said.
"He will have to have a lot of patience and a lot of energy," Hayes said of the new chief. "It's not a 40-hour a week job. He'll have to know how to maneuver the politics. Boulder is a very open community in terms of dialogue and input, and that's going to take a person who can take a lot of input."
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, who has sat on many police chief selection panels, including the Louisville panel that chose Hayes, and who worked under Beckner before becoming sheriff, said often the selection of a police chief revolves as much around personality as it does around qualifications.
"In large part, it will be a matter of chemistry and values and emphasis," Pelle said. "You want someone who reflects back the community values and what City Council wants. A lot of times it's not a matter of qualifications or education. These guys are all pretty evenly matched."
Pelle said the Boulder police department's commanders are all very well qualified, and the city will do well with an internal candidate. Pelle identified the same challenge that Hayes did for the new chief.
"People are very educated, very enlightened," Pelle said. "It's a youthful community. People appreciate their civil rights and their freedoms. As a leader of a law enforcement community, you need to be aware of those community values and reflect that in the department."
For those reasons, Pelle said he expects Boulder will hold some public meetings with whoever the candidates are and that those meeting will provide important input to the city manager.
Pelle said Beckner was a stabilizing force in the Boulder police department and is leaving it in good shape, which is probably one reason there was been relatively little public interest in who the next chief will be.
"There's no scandals or large pending issues," he said.
Hoping for someone who 'will keep it honest'
Members of the business community praised Beckner's leadership and said they hope the next chief continues his style of leadership.
"We would love to see someone who handles things in his model," said Dave Adams, deputy director of Downtown Business Inc. "He was always calm and cool and rational and professional. If we could have someone carry on his legacy, that would be great."
Mark Heinritz, owner of The Sink on University Hill, said he has known Beckner since he was a sergeant on the Hill, and he always appreciated that Beckner treated the area's bars and restaurants fairly in a context of intense community pressure to address alcohol-related issues.
"Being in the hospitality industry, I always appreciated Mark Beckner saying his department would not be used as a tool for vigilante actions," he said. "He kept it honest. That's what I would like to see. Someone who will keep it honest."
Heinritz said the Boulder police still carry some of the stigma of the 1990s, but Beckner brought a lot of credibility to the department.
Not everyone in the community gushes over Beckner's legacy. Judd Golden, outgoing chair of the Boulder County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said Beckner presided over an expansion of the use of surveillance and has taken a "just trust us" attitude toward civilian oversight. The department says it has strict guidelines for the use of surveillance, for how long data from license plate readers and surveillance cameras are kept and for use of force, but those policies remain the purview of the department, not the city's elected leaders, Golden said.
"Beckner has overseen the use of these technologies," Golden said. "If any community should have meaningful safeguards to protect individual liberties and privacy, it should be Boulder. Boulder has a long history of protecting individual liberties and privacy. The ACLU remains disappointed that there are not ordinances put in place by our City Council, which seems to just be deferring to what the city attorney and the police department want."
As long as that's the case, it won't really matter who the chief is, Golden said.
"It is up to City Council, who knows how much power they have, to get a buy-in, but they have been so preoccupied and focused on issues like municipalization and dogs and trash cans, not that those aren't important issues, but who is going to be in charge of enforcing the law? 'Eh, let the city manager do whatever they want to do,'" Golden said.
A preference for someone who understands Boulder
The only city employees who report directly to the City Council are the city manager, city attorney and the chief judge of the municipal court. The City Council has no direct role in hiring department heads, including the police chief.
Joy Redstone, who has worked with Boulder's homeless community for years, said she hopes the next police chief understands the social and economic aspects of homelessness as the City Council pushes to address "social misbehavior" in the downtown area and on the municipal campus. The City Council recently voted to restore the possibility of jail time for municipal offenses as part of that effort.
"Morally and ethically, we're making a choice to make the most expensive intervention possible," Redstone said, contrasting the cost of jail with the cost of supportive housing for the chronically homeless. "I hope the new person can find a balance between a criminal justice approach and the treatment and social justice aspect."
In recent years, the Boulder Police Department has seen a number of high-profile misconduct cases, including an officer accused of attempted murder and two others accused of poaching a beloved elk within city limits.
Beckner said the department should be judged on how it handles misconduct cases, not on whether they happen at all.
Golden said the ACLU continues to believe that, at the very least, the City Council and not the police department should appoint the civilian members of the board that reviews misconduct allegations.
Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum said there is a discussion to be had about the appropriate role for City Council in overseeing the police department, but there is no great public outcry against the department.
"I haven't seen much indication that council wants to insert itself in these ways, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it," Appelbaum said. "As a longtime member of the ACLU, I'm not offended by what the police department is doing. People's view of the police department is that they do a good job and they're well managed and dealt with appropriately when they do something they shouldn't do."
Appelbaum said the preference for an internal candidate is probably appropriate.
"There's something to be said for getting in some fresh eyes and someone who has seen the world from a different place and different perspective, but I think for the police force, having someone who understands Boulder probably trumps that," he said.
Appelbaum said he believes most City Council members want to see continuity in how the police department is run.
"Things are being run extremely well," he said. "I think from the council's perspective, everyone thinks the police department does a very good job, so people aren't clamoring for some grand new vision for the police department."

The Legend of Zelda Turns 25 98
harrymcc writes "The Legend of Zelda originated 25 years ago today, when Nintendo released the original game for its Famicom console in Japan on February 21st, 1986. Benj Edwards is celebrating with a look at some of the franchise's odder sidelights, from a version broadcast by satellite to the unexpected true story of where the game got its name."

Mercury News Staff Writer
SAN JOSE -- Rising crime rates have catapulted the issue into the forefront of city affairs, punctuated by 46 homicides, the largest tally the city has recorded in 20 years.
But before anyone coins "the mean streets of San Jose," a look at those deaths shows that most of the victims were killed by people they knew and that despite worsening crime trends, within the context of homicides, residents are generally safe.
"San Jose is still an incredibly safe big city," said Alex Gerould, a lecturer in criminal studies at San Francisco State. "There's been a doubling (of homicides) in two years, which looks extremely startling. But look back into the 1990s, taking into factor the population, we're still down from where we've been."
An analysis by this newspaper of 2012 homicide data furnished by the San Jose Police Department revealed that even after gang-related and domestic violence slayings are parsed out, the majority of the rest were between people who knew each other.
That leaves just more than a handful of genuinely random killings that people tend to have in mind as true threats to public safety. The kidnapping and presumed murder of 15-year-old Sierra LaMar, which occurred near Morgan Hill but was the South Bay's highest-profile homicide of 2012, fits the profile of a rare random instance.
"Stories that are the most tragic are the ones that are going to make the news," said Dawna Komorosky, an associate professor of criminal justice at Cal State East Bay. "If you watch the news on a daily basis, you would think violent crime was the most frequent. It's not the most commonly occurring; property crime is more likely."
Of the 46 homicides in San Jose, the city's highest total since 53 were recorded in 1991, 18 have been deemed gang related and five have been linked to domestic violence. For the rest, all but a few can be described as crimes of opportunity or passion, involving such elements as drugs or strained or severed relationships, according to a search of county court records.
"The victim and killer usually have a relationship and know each other," Komorosky said. "But it makes us all feel fearful for our safety."
One of those killings was in January, when two homeless men fought about how hard the other's handshake was, court records show. Danny Klontz hit Manuel Andrade at least twice in the face. One witness reported seeing Klontz kick Andrade in the head three times. Andrade died five days later. Klontz was convicted of one count of assault with a deadly weapon. A murder charge was dismissed.
In July, Marybel and Pedro Jimenez were gunned down in their San Jose home by a former boyfriend of Marybel's, orphaning the couple's three young children. Police say the suspect, Pedro Castellon Medina, was obsessed with Marybel. He has not been arrested and police believe he might be in Mexico.
One seemingly random incident was the Aug. 13 killing of Joan Anne Hughes, 70, a well-liked homeless woman in the Willow Glen area. She was savagely attacked with a samurai sword by an erratic and addled Marquis Reynolds in front of terrified onlookers near San Carlos Street and Meridian Avenue, police said. The death of Hughes, who also went by "Gail," occurred in the midst of an 11-day stretch when eight homicides were recorded, marking one of the bloodiest stretches in city history.
On Nov. 16, Campbell resident Rory Park-Pettiford, 22, was killed during an attempted carjacking at a 7-Eleven on South Kiely Avenue. He was the unwitting victim of an alleged crime spree by suspects Jonathan Wilbanks, 26, and Adonis Muldrow, 15, who ended up in a shootout that injured an officer.
Outside San Jose, there were eight homicides in Santa Clara County, including the region's biggest case in Sierra LaMar, who disappeared March 16 while heading to school. A suspect with no clear ties to Sierra is jailed on suspicion of her murder, but her body has not been found.
Still, homicides with no connection between killer and victim remain statistically rare in San Jose, and in a city of nearly a million, the homicide tally remains relatively low. As of Monday afternoon, Oakland had 131 homicides in 2012 in a city with just under 400,000 residents, and San Francisco recorded 68 homicides against a population of about 810,000.
San Mateo County had 12 homicides in 2012, six fewer than the previous year. The highest-profile cases of the year were a handful of killings in East Palo Alto and Menlo Park, stemming from a street war between rival gangs.
Gerould, of San Francisco State, cautions against drawing conclusions about the two-year homicide spike in San Jose: 40 occurred in 2011, double the 2010 count that was a 20-year low.
"We had two bad years, but whether that's going to give way to a long-term trend, I don't know," Gerould said.
The police union has said that police understaffing they blame on austerity and pension reform efforts portends a worsening of things to come; city leaders say the policies are necessary to maintain the fiscal viability of all public services.
San Jose police had more than 1,400 officers in 2008 and is now budgeted for 1,109 officers, but in a November memo, outgoing Chief Chris Moore wrote that San Jose had 978 full-duty officers available. The force hasn't been at this staffing level since 1990, when the city's population was 785,000.
That equates to about 1.12 officers per 1,000 residents in San Jose. Oakland, with 616 officers, has a ratio of 1.56, and San Francisco's 1,490 officers put its ratio at 1.83. All are below the Bureau of Justice Statistics' national average of 2.5.
"Police right now have done a good job given what they have," Gerould said. "But when you cut the force by 25 percent, you're going to typically see some crime rises. There's going to be less of an ability to investigate each homicide with the kind of resources you like. With less into each homicide, that means less into each burglary, less into each assault."
Gerould and Komorosky say that residents are rightfully concerned about more common crimes, such as burglaries, which saw a double-digit percentage spike in 2012.
"If I were in San Jose, what I would be most concerned with is whether there's a sentiment amongst the kind of criminal or lawless segments that there is less police," Gerould said, "and therefore less chance they will get caught."

I agree, native mongoDB support would be great!
Posted 30 April 2011 - 11:18 AM
For a long time I didn't know what to think about all the NoSQL/schemaless DB buzz as I was used to MySQL and never had any real problems with using it. But I am currently working on a project where I want users to be able to add attributes to objects on the fly. This sounds terrible from an RDBMS point of view (usually enabled with EAV modelling which is known to be awfully slow) but is a perfect example for the usage of schemaless databases like MongoDB.
I think that applications like that (crowd sourced and flexible) aren't a trend only but a new variant of designing applications as a whole.
I definitely think that adding an ActiveRecord like approach to connect to MongoDB, CoachDB or whatever would be highly beneficial for the whole Yii project. The only problem I see is that they all use completely different APIs as far as I know so adding DB-drivers could be a pain.

I know and use this extension already and it is extremely useful and well written. But I personally think that this whole topic is too big to be handled by an extension only approach. Building your whole application on top of an extension can be pretty scary for some businesses I think.
The benefits of a core implementation would be official documentation, additional tests when a new version of Yii is released, a solid team behind it fixing bugs or whatever. With an extension you will always have the problem of different versions of the same thing or "key developers" abandoning the project etc.

There are key value storage, document based, bigtable solutions.
I dont want yii to adopt and merge an extension code or even think that way at all. What I want to see is a solid api supporting more than 1 solutions even if it not so featured with development happiness.
For example dao would be sufficient in the beggining. And by dao I mean a solid layer, with a consistent api that would give my the ability to transparently change from the one nosql to the other by changing the connection string and a little or no more effort.
in the other hand I am not sure how an activerecord could be usefull on something schemaless.

It's more important for the framework to be modular and have it's components interchangeable than support every technology (new or old), because people will build what they need and share it with the community.

mongoDB as mySQL is a living project, which means it has to be maintained also in the code sometimes.
The problem is what to do if there are 10 extensions for using only mongoDB?
Which to use? Which one will be up to date all the time and compatible with the newest mongoDB specs?
Until you do not choose one project for an official, it can happen that in some time you will have to
- change the mongoDB extension which might be a stick in your head
- update existing yourself which you might not have time for
And that's only cause someone stopped to maintain his extension

Simon Cowell has ditched his fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy after she became "too needy", according to one of the music mogul's glamorous gal pals.
Speculation has been rife for months that all is not well between the talent show titan and the make-up artist, who he proposed to in 2010 after they met behind-the-scenes on American Idol.
The exotic beauty was noticeably missing from Simon's harem when he holidayed with ex-girlfriends Sinitta and Jackie St Clair aboard his luxury yacht in January, when he was joined on the high-seas by 43-year-old Greek actress Zeta Graff.
Zeta, the ex-wife of diamond heir Francois Graff, has now revealed that Simon has given Mezhgan the heave-ho.
Speaking to The Mirror, she says: "Mezhgan was lovely but it was all too much for Simon. As soon as he hears the words 'stability' and 'future', I think it all became a bit too much.
"She was too needy, but he did try. Simon needs a woman who isn't defined by him, who has her own career or wealth. Someone who doesn't depend on him. But he and Mezhgan are still friends."
Zeta and Simon's flirting on their holiday sparked rumours of a new romance, but Zeta is adamant she is not the next Mrs Nasty.
She adds: "It was an amazing holiday, we had so much fun. There was a photo taken of us in which my hair was falling over his face. It looked like we were kissing when we weren't.
"Simon found it hilarious the next day when everyone was saying I was his new girlfriend...
"Simon is single and gets offers from women everywhere he goes - but he doesn't act on it. He might flirt with me but that's Simon. We're definitely just friends. There is no one serious in his life at the moment."
Simon seems as confused as the rest of us at the moment as he recently insisted his relationship with Mezhgan was "somewhere in the middle".
He explained: "I'm vulnerable. It's not on, it's not off, it's somewhere in the middle. I don't know if I will ever get married, but I am happy."

LANSING (AP) – Gov. Rick Snyder and lawmakers remain at odds over how much to rein in the charitable gambling industry featuring games such as Las Vegas-style poker, after the state Senate voted unanimously Thursday to ease regulations that could go into effect next month.
All sides agree that there should be criminal background checks and licensing of poker rooms that run popular Texas Hold `Em and blackjack fundraisers for charities in exchange for a cut of the profits. But they differ over how profits should be split, caps on the number of charities hosting the casino-style events concurrently at a single location and how many days a year poker rooms can operate.
The Senate's approval of legislation came less than a week before tighter rules proposed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board will take effect unless a legislative committee objects.
The bill sponsor, Republican Sen. Rick Jones of Grand Ledge, said service organizations, churches, veterans' groups and school foundations that depend on charitable gambling for fundraising are concerned.
"I think it's extremely unfair for the gaming commission to suddenly say, 'We've allowed this for over a decade and now we're going to change the rules," Jones said. "So I'm hoping that the House takes this and we get it to the governor, and I hope we can keep this form of revenue for the little charities."
But Snyder remains committed to putting in place the administrative rules. Snyder aides expect the legislation to die in the House and the 10-lawmaker Joint Committee on Administrative Rules to not act by Wednesday's deadline, allowing the administration's regulations to take effect in May.
"We believe these reforms – which incorporated legislative and stakeholder feedback and changes along way after numerous public hearings and comments – are vital and necessary to ensure the integrity of the process, stem abuses and put safeguards in place for charities so we can continue to allow charitable gaming," Snyder spokesman Dave Murray said.
While legislation would let poker rooms host charity games 365 days a year, the rules would allow them to operate 208 days. The bill would allow four charities to host games in a poker room at one time – with the potential for eight or more events to be held onsite per day – while the rules would authorize no more than two parties per location in a day.
Other differences remain over how many members of a charity must be on hand to help run the games and keeping intact a $15,000 limit per event on chips or raising it to $20,000 to let charities make more. Poker rooms could continue taking a 50 percent cut under the legislation; the rules would lower their take to 45 percent.
Tension has built ever since Snyder in 2012 transferred oversight of the charitable gambling from the Lottery Bureau to the Gaming Control Board and its regulators familiar with monitoring highly regulated operations at casinos. The agency cracked down on some larger bars that contributed to a 22 percent drop in licenses issued for millionaire parties through the first half of last year.
Revenue from the events reported to the state was only $7.9 million in 2002, but surged to a peak of $197 million in 2011 and dipped to $184 million in 2012. Charities' profits rose from $3.6 million in 2002 to $19.2 million two years ago before leveling at $15.8 million.
The state says charities got 81 percent of the proceeds a decade ago but now receive half under profit-sharing agreements never envisioned when the charity games were authorized in a 1976 update of the Bingo Act. Charities say that while they are taking less of the cut on a percentage basis, they are still raising much more money than previously.
Richard Kalm, the Gaming Control Board's executive director, said he will lift a moratorium on new charitable gambling sites once the rules are in place, opening up opportunities for bars and restaurants to host millionaire parties.
Twenty-two sites have been closed for illegal gambling since 2010, and in recent days authorities found a poker hall where two of four dealers were felons, he said.
"We want to inject licensed suppliers back into the process … and get away from this quasi-casino environment where profits and volume are driving what's going on," Kalm said.

Bump for all the heads in the league that turned today with the Jets impressive performance against the Seahawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bump for all the heads in the league that turned today with the Jets impressive performance against the Seahawks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But hey, at least we lost to the Pats a couple weeks ago. That's progress.
Turned my stomach no my head
Thats whats aggravating. We have been right there in a few of these losses. Once or twice, its correctable. This many times, its a pattern. Blame the coaches.
You wanna know how my head turned?
It turned so quickly away from the sh!tshow called the 2012 New York Jets so that I could vomit on the floor and not hit a fellow fan that I ended up with whiplash. THAT'S how my head turned.
I swear the "bumping" of this particular thread with its title after every loss is just plain ANNOYING.
i've tried to be patient. last season schitty was clearly an issue but yesterday sowed you can't win with a qb who makes the big mistake time and time again. i will grant that he was hit cleanly on a couple of occasions because the back didn't pick up the blitz but sanchez still has trouble being decisive and throwing the ball to the right guy. it's almost like he has no feel for the game. you know, don't throw into double coverage for 20 yards if you can get 7 or 10 with a pass to an uncovered guy. the great qb's know when to throw deep and when to settle for what they have.
the bottom line, is the season is about over. rex needs to tell the players they're playing for jobs here on out.

Made Of Metal
December 2010
Released: 2010, Metal God Entertainment
Rating: 4.0/5
Reviewer: JP
Finally! Halford was really overdue. Despite having a skeleton of a catalogue, Halford really needed to put some meat on the bones of his solo career. MADE OF METAL is really only the third studio album of all new material in over 10 years. Sure the catalogue looks impressive but in reality, live albums, demo albums, EP's, digital only live albums and novelty Christmas albums are just filler. Halford needed to deliver the goods and I'm pleased to say he is still made of Metal. The album clocks in at a whopping 14 tracks at over an hour it is his longest solo album to date.
MADE OF METAL is better than CRUCIBLE but not as good as RESURRECTION. The songs on MOM are far more accessible and dare I say enjoyable. I've read another review of this album and the reviewer was lambasting it saying some of the songs sound like they could have been on TURBO. That's a good thing in my books, especially considering it was Priest's best selling album! The songs are catchy and diverse. We get some semi-ballads, the southern flavoured 'Matador' the sleek and modern title track, and half a dozen straight ahead metal cuts…every song is a winner.
The song-craft is really strong, songs like 'Fire and Ice' as well as 'Thunder and Lightning' are fun and easy to sing along and stick in the brain. The slow grinder of 'Twenty Five Years' is dark and ominous with a dark lyrical bent. Halford really brought some of his best ideas to the table. I enjoyed the lyrics of 'Fire And Ice' since they are Heavy Metal radio, and since I am a Metal DJ (for over 11 years now) the words really spoke to me. I appreciated the fact that the Metal God himself wrote a song about enjoying Metal on the radio. That's a big endorsement for all the Metal DJ's around the world especially since many consider traditional radio a dying medium.
Halford has usual crew of experts (Roy Z., Metal Mike, Jarzombek) along for the ride and the production and performance are world-class. The packaging is good to look at, lyrics, photos and a nice layout and design are the icing on the cake. If you are curious about his solo career and haven't checked out anything Halford since CRUCIBLE back in 2002, skip the half-dozen filler releases in the interim and get MADE OF METAL.

Back in the early 1970's, a girlfriend and I decided to try and climb Mt. Bullard, which is the first big mountain to the right side of the glacier as you are looking from the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. We went up the West Glacier trail, crossed the Mendenhall Glacier and camped on the low shoulder of the mountain. The weather was hot and sunny, and this being the early 70's, we did not know much about proper hydration and sun protection. I got away with mild sunburn and a need to drink plenty of water in camp that evening, but my friend suffered a real case of heat sickness and was so sick that night that she could not even think about trying to climb up Bullard.
The next morning after breakfast, I made sure she was comfortable, then got her permission to try Bullard alone, while she rested in camp and gathered her strength for the hike back out. I scrambled a few thousand feet up the heather and rock slopes, and then carefully kicked steps up a long snowfield, all the while looking at the little summit point at the top. From that side, the summit appeared to be a sheer block with a steep cliff face. I was sure there would be no way for me to reach the true summit by myself. I decided I would be content if I could safely reach the summit ridge and look over to the other side. Imagine my surprise and delight when I crested the ridge and found that the other side was a grassy slope that led right to the top of the summit block. I laughed, clambered to the top and hung my legs over the cliff. There was no one to take my picture, but I knew the memory would stay with me for a long time. I never tried to climb up Mt. Bullard again after that trip, until just recently.
A few days ago, through a chance encounter, I was invited to join a group of hikers who wanted to go up Bullard from the Nugget Creek side. I said yes, although their planned start at 6:30 a.m. gave me a moment's hesitation, as I am most definitely not a "morning person". But the weather looked promising, the route they wanted to try was entirely new to me, and they were all experienced backcountry travelers, so I had to do it, even if it meant dragging out of bed at 5:30 a.m. to get ready.
I am sworn to secrecy on our exact route, which two of the group worked on last fall during several unsuccessful attempts to reach the summit. Even if I did tell you exactly where we went, there is no way that any sane person would want to try it. I do more than my share of steep hiking and have been known to bushwhack in the backcountry now and then (I once spent twelve hours traveling 2 miles through thick alder to get around Twin Glacier Lake to the East Twin Glacier, but that's another story). This hike was a good test of all of my experience and stamina.
Eureka! Our bruised, scraped, and bloody arms and legs filled with energy as we marveled at the grand view of the Mendenhall Glacier below us, and the beautiful ridge leading another two thousand feet above us. After a short break, we set out to climb to the top along the ridge. I was excited to see the summit of Mt. Bullard again, and wondered how reliable the memory of my solo experience all those years ago would be.
Up and up we climbed, passing one false summit after another, until at last we were right below the main summit block. I looked around me and it all seemed familiar. The view down the other side was the same, with the long snow slope leading up to the ridge. And there was the summit block. But – it was much steeper and rockier than I remembered it! In my memory it was a smooth grassy slope to the top, but that must have just been my relief at finding it was not a sheer cliff on the other side. The reality was that it was a bit of a fourth class scramble up the rock to the true summit.
My head was swimming as I gazed up at the rock and I realized that since we'd been climbing steadily for over four and a half hours, and I hadn't eaten anything but energy gels, I was a little light headed. I needed some solid food in my stomach if I was going to go rock climbing! My hiking partners couldn't wait and picked their way up to the top immediately. I joined them a few minutes later after I gobbled half a sandwich, and exactly 38 years and 3 days later after my first ascent, I stood on the top of Mt. Bullard once again.
Unbelievable views greeted us in all directions. We couldn't stop laughing and goofing around as we snapped photos of each other on the top. This is what I had missed all those years ago – someone to share the summit with and record the moment. It was so perfect and I was so happy that I didn't want to think about how we would get down.
But we had to go down eventually. We lounged on the ridge right below the summit block and enjoyed a full lunch, more photos, and a spirited discussion of all the possible routes available on the many valleys and ridges across from us between Thunder Mountain and Nugget Peak from the Nugget Creek drainage. Then Bob and Ron did a little reconnaissance further along the ridge, while Dave and I slowly started to pick our way back.
We regrouped at a tiny alpine pond to filter more water for the long hike out. Somewhat reluctantly, we bravely plunged back into the awful brush and steep woods, which we knew would be even worse going down than climbing up. I go into auto pilot in situations like this, singing songs out loud, trying not to think about how much it hurt to slip and slide down, trying not to twist a knee or ankle, and trying not to lose the so-called trail. Ok, so we got a little off track, and for a while it looked like we might end up plunging into Mendenhall Lake instead of heading to Nugget Creek where we had left our stream crossing footgear. But thankfully Dave's GPS helped us get back on course and after some "more to the left, now more to the right" on the crazy steep goat trails we found our way safely down.
As soon as we crossed the creek, I felt refreshed and energized, and the final hike back to the cars was a skip and a hop home. The weather had been perfect and we couldn't have picked a better day for our climb. We toasted our success among the throng of tourists wandering around us at the visitor center parking lot, and gazed in awe at Mt. Bullard. You'd think after climbing up a mountain it would look more familiar and friendly, but instead it looked steeper and harder than ever. I will go back, but this time I don't think I'll wait another 38 years.
*Mt. Bullard, 4,225 ft. Named for Benjamin Bullard, 1848-1933, a mining engineer who came to the Klondike from California in 1897 and later moved to Juneau. In 1907 he began mining on Nugget Creek where he later built a hydroelectric power plant (DeArmond, Some Names Around Juneau, 1957, p. 9-10) (Dictionary of Alaska Place Names, Donald Orth, 1967, p. 167)

The Democratic lieutenant governor candidate in Ohio who faced hundreds of thousands of dollars in state and federal tax liens says he's dropping out of the race.
State Sen. Eric Kearney says he's leaving the ticket of gubernatorial contender Ed FitzGerald. His decision comes less than three weeks after he entered the contest. Kearney, a Cincinnati lawyer who is black, brought racial and geographic diversity to FitzGerald's ticket, and direct ties to President Barack Obama, who is a friend. But Kearney couldn't overcome political fallout associated with revelations of his many unpaid debts.
FitzGerald, the Cuyahoga County executive, now must pick a new running mate as he faces Republican Gov. John Kasich next year.

A Weekly News Update on Pesticides, Health and Alternatives
See PANUPS updates service, for complete information.
November 16, 2006
WHO official calls for ban on organophosphate pesticides to prevent suicides: The World Health Organization coordinator of mental and brain disorders, Jose Bertolote, presented studies that implicate pesticides, especially organophosphates—a class of highly acutely toxic chemicals, as a leading cause of preventable suicides. "We have very good studies interviewing people between the act of ingesting pesticides and their deaths. More than 95% are desperate when they learn they are going to die," according to Bertolote. People who attempt suicide with pesticides "tend to be rural folk who would have died by the time their families get them to hospital," reported Reuters. "If in despair you drink pesticide(s), you die in three hours and … the vast majority of these people did not have the intention to die and they did not know it would be so lethal ... all they wanted was some attention," said Bertolote. China has the highest number of suicides in the world, with 250,000 cases a year, while Sri Lanka has the highest rate at 36.2 suicides per every 100,000 people. In both countries more than 60% of suicides are committed using pesticides. Bertolote called on governments to ratify treaties eliminating organophosphate pesticides.
India's cotton economy threatened; pesticide-related suicides increase: With an expensive and chemically intensive industrial agricultural system thrust upon small farmers in India, many are so overwhelmed with debt that they find their only way out by committing suicide; drinking the very pesticide they purchased as part of the process that ruined them financially. The Hindustan Times tells the story of Vasant Pimpre, a cotton farmer in his thirties who recently took his own life while in despair from the debt he carried. Globalization and a failing cotton industry is wreaking havoc on 1.7 million farmers there. Despite a jump in cotton exports from India, the Times reports that the cotton economy is on the verge of collapse.
New York bans pesticide mister: State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer banned a mosquito misting system that dispensed pyrethrin pesticides in consumers' backyards. "Pesticides are toxic chemicals that should not be blindly released into the air by automatic misting systems. We need to work to reduce the public's exposure to pesticides, and this agreement will help accomplish that important goal,'' Spitzer told the Albany Times. About a dozen "Buzz-Off" mister systems were sold, with prices ranging from $2,000 - $20,000. Now they can no longer be sold in New York. The company has to pay a $25,000 fine and offer full refunds to customers. Spitzer becomes Governor of New York in January.
Controversy over pesticide neighbor notification law: Residents of Ulster County, New York, argued over an impending vote on a law that would require pesticide applicators to notify residents when using pesticide chemicals within 48 hours prior to spraying near the area being sprayed. At a hearing last week, citizen's groups debated the Ulster County Neighbor Notification Law with professional pesticide applicators. The MidHudson News reports on the debate. The county legislature vote will likely occur in December.
Farmworkers harmed by pesticides in Chile win key legal ruling: In 2004, 19 women working on El Descanso farm in Pelarco were hospitalized with burns on their skin and other health effects including dizziness and nausea. The court ruled that the employer was negligent and allowed unsafe working conditions for the day laborers. The legal battle took two years, with the Supreme Court upholding the Health Department's original finding. The Santiago Times reports that there have been over 700 cases of pesticide poisonings documented with agricultural workers in the region during the last several years.November 18th is Buy Local Day: Many experts agree that the best way to buy healthy food is to buy locally and to know the farmers in your region who grow the healthy food you like to eat. Large chain stores based out of your region take their profits out of your community. Join others across the nation on November 18th to focus on supporting local farmers and local businesses with your dollars. Find out more.

Temporal Arteritis
(Giant Cell Arteritis)
by Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RD
Temporal arteritis is inflammation of the arteries. It affects the arteries in the head, neck, and upper body. The temporal artery is most often affected. It runs over the temple, to the outside of the eye. In extreme or untreated cases, this condition can lead to blindness or strokes.
2 other terms often associated with this condition include:
Causes TOP
The cause of temporal arteritis is not known. It may result from an autoimmune response in the body. An autoimmune disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakes the body's own tissue for a foreign invader, attacking and damaging it.
Risk Factors TOP
Temporal arteritis is more common in women, and in people aged 50 years and older. It is also more common among Caucasians, especially those of Scandinavian or northern European descent. Other factors may increase your chance of getting temporal arteritis include:
Symptoms TOP
Temporal arteritis may cause:
Diagnosis TOP
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. A retinal exam may also be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of the temporal artery. This can be done with ultrasound.
Treatment TOP
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Corticosteroid Therapy
Corticosteroid therapy is used to decrease the swelling and inflammation. It will also help decrease the risk of blindness. At first, high doses are often given. The doses are then tapered off. Therapy is often continued for several years.
Long-term use of corticosteroids has some harmful side effects. These may include:
Supplements will help to stop these effects on the bone. The supplements may include:
Low-Dose Aspirin
You may be advised take low-dose aspirin every day. This may help to reduce the risk of vision loss associated with temporal arteritis.
Prevention TOP
There are no current guidelines to prevent temporal arteritis.
