Urban League launches new Civil Rights Movement
To Be Equal
Urban League launches new Civil Rights Movement
By Marc H. Morial
"Based on the evidence of intentional racial discrimination…as well as the history of pervasive voting-related discrimination against racial minorities…we believe that the State of Texas should be required to go through a pre-clearance process whenever it changes its voting laws and practices."
Attorney General Eric Holder at the 2013 National Urban League Conference.
During four days in Philadelphia, more than 6,000 people came together for our 2013 National Urban League Conference – "Redeem the Dream: Jobs Rebuild America." In the city that is the cradle of American democracy, in the town where Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and, later, John Legend and The Roots both sang, "Wake Up Everybody," we called for a new Civil Rights Movement. Fifty years after the March on Washington, we came to Philadelphia to redeem Dr. King's dream and to stand our ground against those who would turn back the clock on voting rights, equal justice, opportunity parity, jobs, and a host of other old and new civil rights challenges.
A highlight of the conference was the surprise announcement by Attorney General Eric Holder that in light of the Supreme Court's recent decision to invalidate Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, the Justice Department will ask a federal court in Texas to use Section 3 of the Act to require the state to obtain pre-approval before instituting future voting changes. Section 3 is the "bail-in" provision of the Voting Rights Act that allows federal courts to require any state that has been identified as engaging in "intentional" voting rights discrimination to undergo preclearance before those changes go into effect.
Prior to the Supreme Court's decision, the Justice Department had blocked clearly discriminatory redistricting and voter ID changes proposed by Texas. Immediately after the ruling, the state vowed to reinstitute those changes. Federal Court action could now prevent that from happening. The Attorney General added, "This is the department's first action to protect voting rights following the Shelby County decision, but it will not be our last." This was welcome news to the National Urban League, our conference attendees and every American who understands the importance of protecting our democracy and the precious right to vote.
The next day, Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, bravely took the conference stage to share her grief over the death of her son and to appeal for the repeal of "a law that has prevented the person who shot and killed my son to be held accountable, and to pay for this awful crime." The National Urban League has previously called upon and commended the Department of Justice for efforts towards a thorough federal criminal civil rights investigation to determine whether any federal laws were violated by George Zimmerman in connection with the death of Trayvon Martin. We also joined with President Obama, the Attorney General, and others in supporting a review – and rejection – of the unconscionable Stand Your Ground laws that are contributing to needless violence and homicides in our communities.
The 2013 Conference also engaged thousands of registrants in spirited and informative panels and workshops; members of the local community in a job fair, college fair and a small business and entrepreneurship summit; and 500 young people for our Youth Summit.
With the many civil rights challenges now confronting the nation – including voting rights and equal justice, last week clearly demonstrated that the flame of the 21st century Civil Rights Movement has been sparked. The challenge before us now is to create a new Civil Rights Movement for Economic Empowerment and Justice – a continuation movement that stands on the shoulders of progress and that brings people from all walks of life, dispositions and orientations together to work to ensure that the promise of life, liberty and economic opportunity becomes real for this generation.
National Urban League board chairman John Hofmeister correctly characterized this as a moment when we are "living between the dream and the memory." There is still much more work to do. That is why we are asking activists, advocates and everyone from near and far who support equal opportunity, rights and justice to join us at our Drum Majors for Justice Summit on August 23 in Washington, DC (www.drummajorsforjustice.com). Along with the 50th anniversary March on Washington the following day, we are beginning to chart our course forward and usher in a new Civil Rights Movement for Economic Empowerment and Justice.
We started it 50 years ago, and it's time to finish our business.

Too much information at checkout?
Dorothy Carter is a woman on a mission. Taking advantage of Senior Discount Day on a Monday afternoon last month at Bealls Outlet in Punta Gorda, the Gulf Cove resident searched for hard-to-find 95 percent discount items to donate to some charities. She found four. Along with other sale items, the total bill came to $2.35 with her discount.
However, when she paid in cash, the cashier asked for her email address. Dorothy thought that personal information wasn't essential to the sale.

Images coming out of the recently captured town of Bashiqa, Mosul revealed the presence of an all too familiar Islamic State armoured fighting vehicle. Hidden under a tree and abandoned by its previous owners, this behemoth previously made an appearance in the now infamous Islamic State offensive near Naweran, North of Mosul, a video which went viral due to the rather comical performance of several fighters involved in the offensive. While Abu Hajaar became the inspiration of memes across all corners of the internet, the Islamic State's usage of up-armoured trucks and other vehicles involved in this offensive was of particular interest for others.
While many of the Islamic State's DIY creations are often very crude in nature, merely consisting of metal plates slapped onto a vehicle's hull, a large industry aimed at converting vehicles to better suit the Islamic State's needs does exist, and has produced several designs perfectly suited for the type of warfare encountered in the Syrian and Iraqi theatre. The armour workshops responsible for these designs are located through Islamic State held territory, with the largest workshops located in Raqqa and Mosul.
Shortly after the capture of Mosul and surrounding towns, the Islamic State established several armoured formations to operate some of the captured equipment previously left behind by the Iraqi Army and Ministry of Interior. While some of the vehicles remained unmodified and were subsequently used in their original configuration, others were modified for use as VBIEDs or as armour on the plains of Mosul with the 'Storming Battalion'.
In their role as Inghimasi – shock troops tasked with penetrating enemy lines without any expectation to come back alive – the 'Storming Battalion' mainly makes use of faster wheeled vehicles as opposed to heavier and therefore slower tracked armoured fighting vehicles. While Inghimasi normally make up about one-fourth of the fighters participating in a typical offensive, the whole 'Storming Battalion' is in fact an Inghimasi unit. While tanks are operated in an offensive role by the Islamic State in Iraq, most of these belong to the 'al-Farouq Armoured Brigade' and 'Shield Battalion'. Thus, it is mainly the 'Storming Battalion' that makes use of improvised and up-armoured AFVs.
The battle tram features a heavily armoured front cabin, which is (with a little imagination) somewhat reminiscent of a human face or a character from Thomas the Tank Engine, inspiring the designator "battle tram". Spaced armour covers the fighter's compartment while metal plates protect the wheels, six of which are present on this vehicle. Indeed, the battle tram is almost certainly based on the Soviet KrAZ-260, several of which were captured in and around Mosul back in 2014. Previous attempts at producing such large armoured personnel carriers resulted in a host of impressive but awkward looking vehicles.[1] [2] Contrary to these examples, the battle tram appears to be relatively well-balanced in its design.
The presumed armament of the second battle tram remains unchanged from the previous version, which has an heavily armoured cupola in which a machine gun can be fitted. Interestingly, battle tram '202' appears to be equipped with four rams on the front, two of which might also serve as structural reinforcement. Although these rams could be effective for breaking through certain obstacles, it would also make the vehicle prone to get stuck while navigating uneven terrain, not to mention that the debris from a collapsing obstacle would end up on the fighters' heads in the infantry compartment. No ladders for scaling trenches for climbing up Peshmerga positions were seen installed on '202', despite being a feature of '201'.
The cabin of the battle tram is largely similar to those of other vehicles used by the 'Storming Battalion'. Instead of seatbels found on smaller vehicles, metal handlebars were installed to provide support to the fighters inside during high speed operations. No pintle-mounts for light or heavy machine guns are present, forcing the crew to fire their weapons either without stabilisation or from the metal handlebars, which proved far from successful when used by inexperienced fighters. Battle tram '202' has a slightly different cabin layout than '201', with the small exit door located on the rear, and not on the side as with battle tram '201'.
The battle tram, along with the rest of the 'Storming Battalion's' vehicles, was effectively trapped when the bulldozer tasked with filling the huge trench in front of the Peshermerga positions was taken out. Shortly after, the battle tram was hit and subsequently abandoned by its operators, similar to what happened to the vehicle of Abu Hajaar. The presence of spaced armour installed on the sides of the vehicle is clearly visible here, and was apparently effective in stopping at least one hit before the vehicle was abandoned.

Baby Yukon Potatoes Recipes
Salad Nicoise
If you're ever fortunate enough to go to Paris, you are bound to walk by many sidewalk cafés, brasseries, bistros and the like. As ubiquitous are the chalkboards that guard the entrances to these eateries, calling out the specials of the day. On almost all of them, you will find salade niçoise.
This is not the tuna salad that one traditionally finds in America, slathered in mayonnaise and sweet pickles. Salade niçoise hails from the Côte d'Azur; region of France, and is named after the city of Nice. It is a combination of tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, eggs and canned tuna packed in oil. It is typically topped with anchovies and Dijon vinaigrette. Like many French dishes, the name may evoke visions of elegance and glamour, but in reality the dish is the result of the vegetables and proteins available in that region of France. Put another way, it's really just a fancy way of describing a tossed salad from Nice.
I personally love this dish, because it is easy to make and perfectly captures the flavors of the Mediterranean. It won't replace the traditional American-style tuna salad, but instead provide you with a healthier alternative.

On March 7 I texted Cha Cha to ask for a reminder of what Rikers Island in New York was. I got the following response in a text message from Cha Cha*:
The two options were really distasteful to me personally, but I also took issue with the principle of dichotomizing gender and refusing to provide service until I chose one gender. I responded by texting back: Neither.Hey, b4 we answer, pls help us personalize ChaCha to better meet ur needs. Just answer 4 short Qs! -- Q1. What is your gender? Txt MALE or FEMALE back to us
Cha Cha did not like that, and texted the following in response:
Chick Flick or Wrestling? We need 2 know ur gender so we can send you offers u care about! Txt MALE or FEMALE to keep ChaCha-ing.I understand (although I do not like) the need for ad space in this service. I also understand that targeting ads makes them more effective. However, in the format of a texting service, targeting ads based on gender is problematic. Text messages are short correspondences and they do not serve well to accomodating the other numerous, multi-layered gender identities that many people would feel more comfortable with.
Texting basically makes it necessary to rely on a gender dichotomy that just isn't realistic for most people. Chick flick or wrestling? I like neither of those things. That's exactly why I refused to answer Cha Cha's gender question and will not be allowed to Cha Cha anymore.
*The interesting thing is that I was discussing this with two other people who use Cha Cha and neither of them has been asked to answer the gender question. I am not sure how the service chooses who has to answer the question or when.

Unplanned stop for weather. CSR handled getting my motel, rental car and fuel/tiedown very efficiently. Friendly service. Good crew lounge with big TV and pool table.
As expected for this type of field, fuel is expensive. They cater to jets are larger airplanes (and make no bones about it) but the service is of very good quality. They are friendly to all pilots and their line guys really put the lead out when working with your airplane. Treated me and the 210 I was ferrying quite well.
Diverted to ACT for weather (along with several other pilots and many AA flights all waiting to get into Dallas). Texas Aero was wonderful and helped tie the airplane down and stayed open until the weather passed and we could get out. Thanks!!
Into Waco Regional to take my son to a near by youth camp. As I have learned to expect, ACT is at the top of their game. 'The young lady at the desk, who is training to be an air traffic controller, knows exactly what to do and how to go about getting the job done with a kind courteous smile. She truly understands what the GA pilot needs. Consistently, the entire crew at ACT is there to assist. Nice clean commodious facility. Two Thumbs up for ACT.

Kammen and Other Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) Offer to the Vatican
ECPA Senior FelÂlow ConÂtributes to Pope Francis's Encyclical
Thursday, June 18, Pope Francis released his long-awaited encyclical on the environment, a groundbreaking letter declaring climate change one of humanity's greatest challenges. Dr. Dan Kammen, a 2007 Nobel Peace Prize winner who also serves as a Senior Fellow to the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA) initiative, launched by President Obama and administered by Partners of the Americas, was a contributor to the report and attended the Vatican drafting meetings.
"The Pope's support in the fight against climate change is potentially life-saving for millions of at-risk people in impoverished communities all over the world," said Dr. Kammen.
In a response letter to Pope Francis's encyclical, Senior ECPA Fellows Dr. Dan Kammen, Jigar Shah, Dave Williams, and Dr. Suresh Garimella propose partnering with the Vatican to identify sites, churches, financing structures, and technology that can become a model of renewable energy across the Western Hemisphere before 2020. Climate change has hit the Americas hard – five out of the ten countries most affected by climate change are in Latin America and the Caribbean, and the region may see some of the hottest rising temperatures in the years to come
The Senior Fellows' professional expertise in clean energy technology would advance the goals of Pope Francis and allow them to reach more vulnerable communities in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Senior Fellows wrote to the Pope in their capacity as private individuals and not on behalf of ECPA or the U.S. Government.
In the 184-page letter, Pope Francis lays out the environmental, social, economic and political consequences of climate change – consequences that are disproportionately felt by the world's poorest people. The content of the Pope's encyclical may be environmentally game-changing – it illustrates a common goal between faith and science, one that has the ability to move religious communities to take action. When combined, Pope Francis's leadership and the ECPA Senior Fellows' expertise could make a powerful partnership in securing an environmentally clean and sustainable future for the Americas.
Partners of the Americas is an international network that promotes social and economic development in the Americas through leadership, voluntary service, and development programs. Its mission is to connect individuals, volunteers, institutions, businesses, and communities to serve and to change lives through lasting partnerships. Partners envisions an interconnected hemisphere that maximizes the social and economic potential, and leverages the full diversity, of the Americas. For more information, visit www.Partners.net.

Both 'render' and 'afterrender' events come pretty handy with ExtJs and I guess they are very widely used.
Touch 2 seems to have given us a blanket method called "initialize" that has supposedly replaced all these events, plus "initComponent", "afterRender" etc. methods.
However atleast giving "render" and "afterrender" events is desirable (I would want afterRender method too but not sure if other community members/Touch team would agree).
Let me give you 2 reasons for adding these events back in Touch 2:
1) I needed to manipulate scrolling of a Component manually after it had rendered. No such event and nothing else available.
I ended up doing the following:
The dom of the component (and its items) was not completely ready when initialize was called. I had to do a setTimeout to have the dom ready. render/afterrender would address this easily.Code:initialize: function () { Ext.Toolbar.prototype.initialize.call(this, arguments); var scroller = this.getScrollable().getScroller(); setTimeout(function () { //My code using scroller }, 1000); }
2) Notice the first line of initilize method above. It looks very ugly. initialize is supposed to be overridden in derived classes that invoke this.callParent.
But what if a single component on a page needs to perform some initializationt task. Giving initilize method in component config gives me the above ugly code and there seems to be no other method/event available to override/subscribe.

Drain cleaners contain very dangerous chemicals that can be harmful to your health if swallowed, breathed in (inhaled), or come in contact with your skin and eyes.
This article discusses poisoning from swallowing or breathing in drain cleaner.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Sodium hydroxide
Where Found
- Some drain cleaners
- Some aquarium products
Note: This list may not be all inclusive.
Abdominal pain(severe)
Breathing difficulty due to throat
Collapse Diarrhea
- Loss of vision if the poison touched the eyes
Mouth pain (severe)
Rapid drop in blood pressure
Throat pain (severe)
Severe burns and tissue damage
Home Treatment
Seek immediate medical help. DO NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by Poison Control or a health care professional.
If the chemical was swallowed, immediately give the person water or milk, unless instructed otherwise by a health care provider. DO NOT give water or milk if the patient is having symptoms (such as vomiting, convulsions, or a decreased level of alertness) that make it hard to swallow.
DO NOT give vinegar or lemon juice, as this may cause more severe burning.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- The patient's age, weight, and condition
- The name of the product (ingredients and strengths if known)
- The time it was swallowed
- The amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate. The patient may receive:
- Endoscopy — camera down the throat to see burns in the esophagus and the stomach
- Fluids through a vein (IV)
- Oxygen
- Pain medicines
- Sometimes, surgery to remove burned tissue from the stomach and intestine
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a patient does depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment was received. The faster a patient gets medical help, the better the chance for recovery.
Swallowing such poisons can have severe effects on many parts of the body. Damage continues to occur in the esophagus and stomach for several weeks after the drain cleaner was swallowed.
Death may occur as long as a month after the drain cleaner was swallowed.

Carl Icahn has found something else where he can beat Bill Ackman.
The billionaire activist investor, in addition to mopping the floor with his hedge fund titan frenemy over their disagreement on Herbalife, was the first of the two to make it to Twitter, pushing out his first official tweet Thursday.
(Read More: Icahn, Ackman in Epic Showdown of Billionaires)
Here's Icahn's first, and thus far only, tweet.
Twitter is great. I like it almost as much as I like Dell.
Icahn remains in a pitched battle to prevent Michael Dell from keeping the computer maker from going private.
To date, Ackman, the head of Pershing Square Capital, has yet to show his face on the social networking site and its 140-character signature communication style.
As you may remember, the two famously battled on CNBC back in January.
Icahn's move comes the same week as another hedge funder, Doug Kass, became a Twitter quitter after announcing he was leaving the site due to "haters" who have pilloried him over his short market calls.
(Read More: Twitter Quitter: Kass Says He's Done With 'Haters')
Icahn knows a lot about haters, but nonetheless has amassed 4,215 followers so far.
Warren Buffett joined the site back on May 2, but has been a Twitter slacker, sending out only two messages, both on his initial day aboard.
Pope Francis has sent 67 tweets since joining March 17.

If you like nail varnish/polish then I have a nice treat for you coming up with lots of lovely Illamasqua swatches. Anyway – when it comes nails I am just a pretender. If I get a mark on newly applied polish they all have to come off cos I can't stand it.
I am no nail art – artiste. I don't have the patience, but I commend those that do. When I spotted this product from Etude House on eBay for about £4 I had to try:
Its called Code B….looks like a spy thing…don't ask me why, its inexplicable.
I have a massive set of polishes (which may go on the blog sale by the way) that have this kind of pointy nib but I am rubbish at using them. Is this any good? See after the jump…
The pen nib is fine but quite oozy. I am guessing this is because you don't need to squeeze the barrel to get the product out, it just oozes out by itself. This means you need to be quick and have a certain amount of control:
I basically had some paper next to me the whole time to wipe of the excess. Needless to say, if you ain't using it, put the cap on it!
The colour is a typical opaque black which I though would be nice for designs. Its very opaque, not a wishy washy black which is great. Its medium thick but does dry pretty quickly. This comes in a few shades too, red and white I believe:
Yah, I know – hardly a complex design – infact, its not even a design but like I said I am a novice! I put the dots on top of my topcoat, the simply wonderful Seche Vite, and it lasted really well.
All in all recommended. Its a doddle to use and just a nice touch. Bought for £4 from eBay, seller – Ohmyalice.

Some inspiration for those who like to create style on a shoestring, improvise furnishings from cast-offs and conjure magic from the mundane. The dictionary defines "bohemian" as an artist or writer, or anyone who sets social conventions aside. Bohemian style means going your own way. It's self-expression and creative energy; it's caring less about what other people think and more about what you really feel. It is something made from nothing. If one of the pieces above would add interest to your current decor, you're probably already living with a bohemian style decor. I think I do. There's a mixture of eras, of textures, of colors, that creates my individual style.

If a bear trap can only be used once, use it does not make sense. It needs to have a level of strength as other items.
The main character should be able to assemble the lower branches of the trees, with a probability to a long stick.
preferably, that would be seen that the tree has less branches..
And if you sling the tree with gasoline and set fire to it, these branches will burn (for realism).
Branches are used to maintain the fire of the furnace.
And creating fires, as an alternative lighting.
The stove will need to be refilled every day, more than the norm of brushwood to put it is impossible or not rational.
and extra firewood can be folded near the furnace, ~4 slots (and elsewhere).
if you light the stove later, death will come.
Perhaps to collect fallen branches from under the trees (infinite resources).
or increase the forest area (it definitely should)
Must be some limitation to the experienced player was unable to move quickly, it's too easy..
maybe corny werewolf comes only after ~5 days. (not the best option)
perhaps the creatures that hunt in the depths of the forest. who will find the players themselves, and will hinder the rapid loot of the forest.
an experienced player can kill dozens of dogs in a row using melee weapons and not taking damage. this is not a challenge.
if one dog starts the attack, must attack and all dogs around her.
and in this spirit...
also weapon:
throwing spears out of long sticks, perhaps poisoned.
knuckle - simple weapon, with a very high strength but very low damage. (2 iron) (alternative fist)
knuckles with the nails more brittle, but with normal damage.
(2 iron, 2 fabric, and some nails, maybe something else)
flamethrower (would be cool)
it is also possible to use swamps to collect fuel gas.
(I just don't like the fact that you have to buy fuel from some entities(oil magnates) -_-)
what is depicted in the figure, is almost possible, if the methane would be free of impurities (necessary not very high pressure).
the opportunity to dismantle the fence around the house, to get boards with nails, it might spoil the game.. but we are not so stupid?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The party kept rocking for "The Hangover," the first big surprise hit at the North American box office this summer, while Eddie Murphy suffered a headache with his second consecutive flop.
According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, "The Hangover" led the field for a second weekend with ticket sales of $33.4 million across the United States and Canada. The raunchy comedy with a little-known cast becomes the first movie to retain its crown since "Madea Goes to Jail" in February.
The film also took just 10 days to hit the century mark — $105.4 million, to be exact — setting a new record for an R-rated movie. The old mark of 11 days was set last year by "Sex and the City."
Industry pundits expect "The Hangover" to hit $200 million — not bad for a movie that cost a reported $31 million to make. The action revolves around three guys struggling to remember what happened at a wild bachelor party in Las Vegas the night before. It stars Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, and was directed by Todd Phillips of "Old School" fame.
The film, from Time Warner Inc's Warner Bros. Pictures, easily fended off a pair of new entries boasting some major star power.
Columbia Pictures' remake of the 1974 subway-hijacking thriller "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3," starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta, opened at No. 3 with $25 million, in line with expectations.
"It's a solid opening for us," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution at the Sony Corp unit.
Washington's last major release was "American Gangster," which opened to $44 million in late 2007. The last time Travolta headlined a drama was in 2004 when "Ladder 49" opened to $26 million. Comparative data are not adjusted for ticket-price inflation.
Murphy, on the other hand, came in at No. 6 this weekend with the Paramount Pictures family comedy "Imagine That," which tallied just $5.7 million.
"We're really disappointed," said Don Harris, executive vice-president of distribution at the Viacom Inc unit.
Murphy previously starred in "Meet Dave," which opened to $5 million last July and finished with $12 million.
Walt Disney Pictures' Pixar cartoon "Up" held at No. 2 with $30.5 million, taking its total to $187.2 million after three weekends. The previous Pixar release, "Wall-E," had earned $163 million in the same span last summer.
Rounding out the top five were the Ben Stiller comedy hit sequel "Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian" (Fox) which held steady at No. 4 with $9.6 million in its fourth weekend; and the latest Will Ferrell bomb "Land of the Lost" (Universal), which fell two places to No. 5 with $5.6 million in its second weekend. Their respective totals stand at $143.4 million and $35 million.
Walt Disney Pictures is a unit of Walt Disney Co. 20th Century Fox is a unit of News Corp. Universal Pictures is a unit of General Electric Co's NBC Universal.
In limited release, the feature debut of David Bowie's 38-year-son Duncan Jones, opened strongly. "Moon," starring Sam Rockwell as an astronaut who confronts a clone of himself while mining lunar helium, earned $145,000 from just eight theaters in New York and Los Angeles. The Sony Pictures Classics release expands across the United States throughout June and July.
At the foreign box office, "Terminator Salvation" was the top pick for a second weekend, earning $46.1 million; the overseas total for the Columbia-distributed apocalypse sequel rose to $165.5 million.

Today it would be the 180th birthday of Wilhelm Busch, a German poet and illustrator who wrote and drew picture stories that are regarded as precursor to comic strips. His most famous one is Max und Moritz, two boys who continuously play evil tricks on people and were a pain in the neck.
Google is honoring him with a Google Doodle today.
The doodle is from Max and Moritz' third prank they pull with Tailor Böck. They saw into the bridge that leads to his house and provoke him to cross it. When he does, the bridge collapses, he falls into the water and can only rescue himself by holding on to the legs of some geese that then pull him out of the water. Max and Moritz meanwhile are rejoicing behind the bush. Nice guys, them!

CHICAGO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Increased attention given to
patients in primary care practices organized into so-called
medical homes may not improve quality of care or reduce health
costs as reformers of the U.S. healthcare system had hoped,
researchers said on Tuesday.
Thousands of primary care doctors in the United States are
revamping their practices based on this new medical home model.
Under this scheme, doctors and other providers receive
bonuses from insurance companies for spending extra time with
patients by extending office hours and providing follow-up care
in hopes of keeping them healthier and out of the hospital.
In medical home practices, primary care doctors adopt a
team-based care approach using patient registries, electronic
health records and other tools to help identify high-risk
patients and deliver more personalized care.
The thinking is that this extra attention will result in
improved quality and reduced spending.
But new evidence from a large, three-year pilot study among
32 physician practices in Pennsylvania found modest improvements
in quality of care and no reductions in hospitalizations,
emergency department visits or total costs of care.
"The medical home has gained popularity as a new model of
primary care, with the expectation that the approach will
produce better and lower-cost health care," said Dr Mark
Friedberg, the study's lead author and a scientist at RAND, a
nonprofit research organization. "Our findings suggest that
achieving all of these goals is a challenge."
The findings were published in the Journal of the American
Medical Association (JAMA) on Tuesday. This adds to evidence
from a study of five Rhode Island physician practices published
in September in JAMA Internal Medicine that found no
statistically significant improvements in quality or emergency
department visits, although there were signs that ER use was
Dr Thomas Schwenk of the University of Nevada School of
Medicine in Reno said the findings from the Pennsylvania trial
suggest that the medical home movement may not work for every
patient in every practice.
"It's gotten to be almost a fad in which it is applied
indiscriminately," said Schwenk, who wrote an editorial
accompanying the study in JAMA.
Schwenk calls the medical home model a "powerful technology"
for treating expensive, high-risk patients, but when it has been
applied in broad practice settings, it "by and large has been
shown not to be that effective."
Friedberg said the findings suggest it may be a little
harder to achieve the goals of the medical home model than
previously thought. "I would not say our findings say the
medical home model is doomed." But, he added, "It's not a sure
Friedberg's team evaluated practices taking part in the
Southeastern Pennsylvania Chronic Care Initiative, one of the
first medical home pilots in the state. In this region, 32
primary care practices and six health plans took part in the
pilot between 2008 and 2011.
Practices in the pilot program were required to transform
their practices into medical homes and become accredited by the
National Committee for Quality Assurance or NCQA. Such practices
enlist the help of everyone from nurses to front desk staff to
help avoid costly and preventable complications by focusing on
preventing and managing chronic disease.
To motivate doctors in the Pennsylvania study, each practice
was eligible to receive a $20,000 bonus support payment in the
first year and annual bonus payments, which ranged from $28,000
to $95,000, depending on the size and structure of the practice.
Using data on approximately 120,000 patients, researchers
compared quality, use of medical services and costs of care
between the pilot practices and 29 other practices.
But over the three-year period, researchers found rates of
quality significantly improved on only one out of 11 quality
measures that included asthma care, cancer screening and overall
diabetes control.
They also did not find any reductions in the number of
hospital visits, emergency department use or ambulatory care
services, or in the total costs of medical care.
The study did not examine why the pilot failed to make a
major impact. Yet, the authors said the fact that many of the
practices volunteered for the study suggest they may have
already been more quality-conscious than other practices even
before the pilot began.
The findings contradict the hypothesis that better
preventive and primary care will help patients avoid more costly
medical problems down the line.
Insurance companies pay a premium to primary care practices
that organize themselves into a team of professionals, including
nurse practitioners and 0physician assistants.
More than 10 percent of U.S. primary care practices or about
7,000 practices, are recognized as patient-centered medical
homes by the NCQA, the nation's largest group that certifies
such practices.
The movement got its start with an American Academy of
Family Physicians report called the 2004 Future of Family
Medicine. It has since been championed in President Barack
Obama's healthcare law through provisions that allow states to
boost reimbursements to primary care practices designated as
medical homes for Medicaid patients.
Health insurer Aetna Inc helped pay for the
Pennsylvania study along with the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund.
The company said it was still convinced of the value of the
medical home model, noting it has come a long way since the
start of the pilot.
Elizabeth Curran, Aetna's head of National Network Strategy
and Program Development, said Aetna has nearly 1 million
commercial members being treated in patient centered medical
homes under an estimated 5,000 primary care physicians.
She said Aetna patients treated in a medical home have a
range of 3 to 13 percent fewer visits to the emergency
department per 1,000 patients than patients treated in typical
practices. Medical costs per patient are from $2 to $24 cheaper
per month in medical homes versus typical practices.
Dr Elbert Huang, a health care policy expert at the
University of Chicago Medicine who was not involved in the
study, said three years may not be enough to show a significant
impact in improving chronic diseases such as diabetes or asthma.
"The practices clearly changed the way they do business," he

|You are here: Home > 1974 to 2014
Last Update: 06/03/15
|Produced by Almaden Valley Rotary Club
1974 - 40 Years Later ... 2014
Feature article in 2014 All Star Program
by Dick Sparrer
It all started, like so many things do, as just an idea. The concept sounded simple enoughŚbring together the Santa Clara Valley's finest high school football players from the 1973 fall season to play in an all-star game the following summer.
Through the combined efforts of the Almaden Valley Rotary Club and the San Jose Police Athletic League, the all-star game that year was a blockbuster event, complete with a celebrity flag football game, a soccer demonstration by the San Jose Earthquakes and the normal pageantry typically associated with high school football.
They did it right, and the inaugural game was certainly a success. But to call it at the time the "first anČnual" game of its kind was certainly very optimistic on their part. Still, they did it again in the summer of 1975. And now, some four decades later, the Santa Clara County All-Star BowlŚnow the Silicon Valley Youth ClassicŚis still going strong.
When the stars of the 2013 fall season kick off on July 23 at San Jose City College, it will mark the 40th anniversary of the game born in the spring of 1974 in the PAL office on Park Avenue in San Jose. "They came down to see me at the PAL office and said they had an idea for honoring the outstanding graduating high school football players," said game chairman Jim Guido, then the PAL president and now an Almaden Rotary member himself "Our board OK'd it, and we had a marriage."
And this summer marks the 40th anniversary of that wedded bliss. "I've seen so many wonderful athletes come through," added Guido, who joins Jane Tolentino and Paul Consentino as those who have been involved in all 40 all-star games. "Some have gone on to the pros and others to do other great things in their lives. It makes it all worthwhile." They went on to play in the National Football League and in Rose Bowls; to play professional baseball and win Olympic gold medals. And that was just in the first year!
The inaugural game, in addition to being the grandČdad of them all, featured a star-studded list of playČers. Doug Cosbie of St. Francis and Don Schwartz of Archbishop Mitty would each go on to play in the NFL - Cosbie an All-Pro with the Dallas Cowboys and Schwartz a defensive back for the St. Louis Cardinals and New Orleans Saints.
Otis Page of Saratoga, Pete Pele of Mitty and Steve Bauer of Los Gatos went on to play for Pac-10 teams in the Rose BowlŚPage at USC, Pele at UCLA and Bauer at the University of Washington.
Millard Hampton of Silver Creek starred in the 1974 summer game, but later turned his attention to track, winning gold and silver medals as a sprinter in the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal. And Ric Foley of Leigh continued his football career at Santa Clara University, but it was on the diamond where he truly excelled. He starred for the Broncos before going on to play professional baseball. One of themŚRob Becker of Pioneer even went on to become a stand-up comedian.
But that was only the beginning. Since that first game, nearly two dozen all-stars have gone on to play in the NFL. Others have become Major League baseČball players and many more have starred at the colleČgiate level. Still, while the summer classic is a game of talented all-stars, it's also a game of memories. And one of the most lasting occurred in that first one back in 1974.
The South won that one 48-36, but it was an elecČtrifying 94-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Hampton that arguably ranks as the most memorable event of the 39 games already played. "The one thing I told them is, do not kick the ball to Hampton," said legČendary Saratoga coach Benny Pierce, who along with Tom Burt of Los Altos directed that first North team. But the kick did go to Hampton, and the sprinter ran it right back at the North on his way to a touchdown.
"I remember Millard Hampton running back that kickoff for a touchdown to win the game," said Guido, "and Al [Cementina] beat Benny Pierce."
Cementina, another local coaching legend at James Lick and Independence High Schools, joined Leland's Kent Miller to lead that first South team to victory. Of course, it didn't hurt that Stanford-bound Gary Lynn of Los Gatos was in the backfield for the South. "I was so wound up, I was about ready to explode," said Lynn. And he didŚfour times to get into the end zone to score South TDs.
"It was so exciting, and I was lucky enough to be right there at the beginning," added Lynn. "We only found out about the game in the spring. This was an opportunity that just appeared." Becker would agree.
"I remember they came to the school and interviewed us," Becker recalled in a 2007 interview. "It was an honor just to be interviewed, but to be selected to play in the game ... I was in heaven."
Cosbie reminisced about the experience back in a 1995 interview. "It was the first one," he said of the game. "The only all-star game I knew of was the Shrine Game that they played every summer." "On paper, we had a better team," he added, "but I think we got killed."
Pierce agrees that the North team was solid. "I the thught we had some very good players," he said of his 1974 squad. "It was a high-scoring gameŚthere wasn't a lot of defenseŚso it was a great game for the spectators."
It was also a great game for the South. "We had a lot of camaraderie on that team," said Becker, "and it was great to be with a bunch of guys who just loved the game."
There's little doubt that participating in the game was a memorable experience, even for a guy who would go on to stardom in the NFL.
"The two high school games I really remember are the CCS championship game and that all-star game," said Cosbie. And "that all-star game" was how it all began.
"It was a good start," said Pierce of the inaugural game. "We knew we were starting something." SomeČthing that turned out to be a pretty good idea.

A few months ago I wrote about my participation within the book project named
Diablo III: Book of Cain
. Because the book was not released at that moment, I was not allowed to show the three drawings I was commissioned to do. I promised to post the drawings as soon as the book is released.
Well, the book is now available for purchase, and these are the drawings…

Available as an industry first is the ICON Jeep JK bolt-on and returnable to stock front coilover conversion system w/CDCV. This system not only offers superior ride quality and performance, but gives you the option to adjust ride height and compression valving based on how your vehicle is equipped. Included in this front system is fabricated coilover upper & lower mounts, 2.0 V.S. Series remote reservoir coilovers w/CDCV, and necessary hardware for proper installation. This ICON system was designed from the ground up for improved suspension handling off road, increased wheel travel over stock, and the best ride quality on the market. ICON 2.0 V.S. Series shocks include FK bearings, billet top cap & rod ends, 7/8" shafts, all while increasing the duration of consistent damping over stock regardless of situation. Adjustable ride height, compression damping tuneability with the turn of an external knob, and secondary spring rate engagement adjustability by the end user makes this kit highly tunable to your personal liking by all skill levels. The ICON JK hydraulic bumpstop kit (22019) is also an option that can be installed with the coilover conversion kit adding wheel control for high speed traversing.
ICON Vehicle Dynamics is a performance suspension manufacturer. The company's success is built on having engineers drive the product development process from top to bottom. In fact, founde, Dylan Evans is an engineer and a SCORE champion driver. Product development for ICON Vehicle Dynamics starts on the trail with extensive testing via real rock crawling, forging, whooping and taking on tough trail conditions in the "development lab" preferred by ICON Vehicle Dynamics engineers. They use this extensive testing regiment to determine where suspension components can be improved or even redesigned. Then they carefully monitor the production of the improved or redesigned components by having them all manufactured at their facility in the United States. Shop Icon Suspension Now

Is there any such software (as in, online booking software)? That doesn't cost anything? (I know, we're cheap. It's that whole "overhead" thing.)
To accommodate our students, we're going to knock out a wall and expand the classroom. This will leave me with either one HUGE treatment room (like, over 300sf), or sharing Hubby's cozier room with him. Since we also desire to 1) give me the ability to also use his "toys" (we can't/don't want to buy doubles of everything), and 2) to condense his working time to give him an extra lighter/non-hands-on day, we'd rather share the smaller room (which will-have-used-to-be the LARGER room).
However, I'm having fits trying to figure out how to offer online booking this way. If we could somehow have where someone could book online, and choose the therapist, and it would block out the OTHER therapist at that time so there wouldn't be any double bookings, that would be easiest. But I don't want to pay some horrendous amount for that feature. And we really can't AFFORD to take on any payments right now (which is why we like GenBook).
I think I'm about to ask Hubby if he's okay with just not having online booking available anymore. That would also solve completely any "didn't we ask that person not to come back" issues.

Tan & Buff
Keep your healthy tanned look all year with a jane iredale rub-on tan. Begin with an exfoliation to reveal and tan healthy new skin. Relax while the therapist applies the tanning product to your skin. Leave looking like a "million dollars"!

Outfielder L.J. Hoes is headed to Baltimore and will most likely be activated for Sunday's Orioles game against the Boston Red Sox, according to a source.
Hoes, rated as the No. 6 prospect in the organization by Baseball America, is batting .304 with a .406 on-base percentage in 99 games for Triple-A Norfolk this season. He has more walks (58) than strikeouts (56) to go with 29 extra-base hits.
The 23-year-old made his major-league debut Sept. 25, 2012 and appeared in two games with one at-bat for the Orioles. He had a .300/.374/.397 slash line in 82 games with the Tides in 2012.
It's expected he will take the place of a pitcher on the roster. The Orioles currently have only three players on their bench — Ryan Flaherty, Alexi Casilla and Taylor Teagarden.
Other notes
Right-hander Chris Tillman's performance against the Red Sox on Friday night — seven shutout innings of two-hit ball — set a standard among pitchers in the Orioles clubhouse.
"Right now, we're doing a good job of pushing each other to continue to kind of one-up the bar," right-hander Jason Hammel said. "'All right, beat that. All right, beat that. Kind of a little game within the game. It helps."
Hammel has struggled recently — he hasn't won a decision since May 27 at Washington and is sporting his highest ERA since 2007 at 5.20 — and he said he removed himself from the game substantially during the All-Star break. He said he feels refreshed, even though he took the loss in his first start back at Kansas City on Tuesday, allowing three runs on 10 hits in six innings.
"Sometimes you have a bad run," Hammel said. "Sometimes you have a great run. If you're worried about proving yourself over and over again, you're just going to get in your own way. I'm in the big leagues for a reason, and that's because I have quality stuff and I'm here to compete. It's not like I doubt myself or I'm not confident, but it's a matter of minimizing the damage and making sure I'm going about it the right way, not trying to do too much."
Red Sox lineup: Ellsbury 8, Victorino 9, Pedroia 4, Ortiz DH, Napoli 3, Carp 7, Saltalamacchia 2, Drew 6, Iglesias 5; Dempster 1
Orioles lineup: McLouth 7, Machado 5, Markakis 9, Jones 8, Davis 3, Wieters 2, Hardy 6, Urrutia DH, Roberts 4; Feldman 1
