Congressmembers Urge Department of Defense to Support Making Hazing a Crime
Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-32), along with several other Representatives, sent a letter to the General Counsel of the Department of Defense urging them to support a specific anti-hazing statute in the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Over the last few years, several shocking cases of military hazing have occurred throughout the armed services. This includes the hazing of Army Private Danny Chen, who tragically died 1 year ago on October 3rd after enduring weeks of physical and verbal hazing. In April 2011, the Congresswoman's nephew, Marine Lance Corporal Harry Lew, took his own life in a foxhole shortly after being hazed and abused for several hours. After sending the letter, Congresswoman Chu released the following statement:
"Nearly 1 year after Danny's hazing death, we still have so much work left to do. We know what happened to Danny and my nephew Harry are not isolated incidents. For the sake of our service members, we must ensure there is a real deterrent against hazing and real justice for victims. Forty-four states have anti-hazing laws and 31 states define hazing as a crime in their criminal codes. But in the military, hazing isn't a crime. Sadly, month after month, new military hazing stories continue to surface. We cannot wait to protect our servicemembers from hazing. A new anti-hazing law in the Uniform Code of Military Justice would make it clear that hazing has no place in our military. On this somber anniversary, my heart goes out to Danny Chen's family and loved ones. After losing my nephew Harry in similar and tragic circumstances, I know this is a difficult time for them."
Earlier this year in a Congressional hearing, representatives from the Marine Corps and the Army expressed interest in creating a specific anti-hazing statute. The House of Representatives passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (H.R. 4310) with a provision requested by Rep. Chu asking the Department of Defense submit recommendations for an anti-hazing statute. However, the Senate has yet to pass the bill. This letter sent by Congresswoman Chu calls on the Department of Defense's General Counsel to support a specific anti-hazing statute to better protect our men and women in uniform. Sens. Boxer, Feinstein and Gillibrand sent a similar letter today as well.
The letter sent by Rep. Chu and other Congressmembers is below:
October 2, 2012
Jeh C. Johnson
General Counsel of the Department of Defense
1600 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301-1600
Dear Mr. Johnson:
We write today to urge you to issue recommendations to Congress on the inclusion of an anti-hazing statute in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). We strongly believe that adding a specific anti-hazing statute in military criminal law would not only reinforce the fact that hazing has no place in America's military, but would enable the Department of Defense to better track and respond to hazing across the services while sending an unequivocal message that it will be met with serious consequences should it occur.
Over the last few years, there have been several shocking cases of hazing across the Armed Services. In 2010, Army Spc. Brushaun Anderson committed suicide in a portable toilet after enduring physical and emotional hazing because of his physical appearance. In April 2011, Marine Lance Corporal Harry Lew, committed suicide in a foxhole after hours of physical abuse. In June 2011, seven Coast Guardsmen were convicted for tying down fellow crew members, forcing them to strip, coating them in foreign substances and calling them derogatory names. In October 2011, Private Danny Chen was found dead apparently of a self-inflicted wound after enduring weeks of physical and verbal hazing. Eight soldiers have been charged for their participation in his abuse. And month after month new military hazing stories continue to surface in the press.
While these incidents may seem isolated to some, our inquiries into the military's hazing policies raised concerns about the lack of focus on preventing hazing in the services and have highlighted serious gaps in hazing policies. So on March 22, 2012, the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel held a hearing entitled "Hazing in the Military." In the hearing both the representatives from the Marine Corps and the Army expressed interest in creating a statutory definition of hazing in the UCMJ. They implied that this would make it easier for them to track, and thus prevent, hazing incidents.
As you may know, there is strong precedent for an anti-hazing statute under the civilian judicial system. Currently, 44 states have anti-hazing laws and 31 states define hazing as a crime in their criminal codes. In fact, some of these states, including California and Florida, have gone a step further—allowing for felony prosecutions in the most serious instances of hazing.
On June 19, 2012, the House of Representatives passed the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 4310). This legislation included provisions under Section 535 to prevent and respond to hazing incidents involving members of the armed forces. One of the provisions asks the Department of Defense to submit "recommendations for changes to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and the Manual for Courts-Martial as the Secretaries consider necessary to improve the prosecution of hazing incidents." While we appreciate the inclusion of this language in the House bill, time is of the essence and the Department should begin to act now by recommending critical changes to the UCMJ.
Hazing has no place in our military. It undermines our military readiness, threatens unit cohesion, risks the lives and well being of our men and women in uniform and deeply scars those volunteers forced to endure it. To forcefully and effectively address hazing incidents and eliminate the practice of hazing, we ask that you recommend to Congress that the UCMJ be updated to include an anti-hazing statute. Any such statute should include a clear, comprehensive definition of hazing that addresses the physical, mental, and emotional trauma that can be incurred by victims. This would provide a strong disincentive against hazing, be an important tool to prosecute perpetrators, and make it easier for the Department of Defense, and each service, to more accurately track and comprehensively respond to hazing throughout the Armed Forces.
We owe it to the brave men and women of our armed services to act immediately to protect them from humiliation and abuse. They sacrifice so much to keep us safe; they deserve the same in return.
Thank you for your consideration of this important request. We look forward to your prompt response.

Costa da Morte, looking out to the Atlantic
Cape Vilan. Costa da Morte
Cliffs in Malpica
The immensity of the Atlantic Ocean, the traditional way of life in small fishing villages, cliffs, lighthouses, the scent of salt, the unmistakable flavour of shellfish, mysterious legends… You will find all this and much more on the Costa da Morte coast in A Coruña province, Region of Galicia, northern Spain. Here there is a unique, easy route that will take you to edge of the Atlantic.
Facing the Atlantic Ocean, in the Region of Galicia, in the area known as Green Spain, you will find the Costa da Morte coast: a stunning natural viewpoint with amazing cliffs, green landscapes, beaches and, of course, the ferocity of the sea. This is a destination ideal for quiet strolls through fishing villages and to discover what made the Romans think of it as the doorway to the "Great Beyond". When you see the incredible spectacle of the sun "drowning" in the Atlantic Ocean, your questions will be answered.
Fishing villages
The whole Costa da Morte lives life looking to the sea. Proof of this are fishing villages like Malpica, whose houses cling to the rocks over the harbour. We would recommend you head to the fish market first thing in the morning to see the auction of fish recently brought in from the sea.
Just four kilometres away there is another privileged Atlantic viewpoint – the San Adrián do Mar Sanctuary. From here there are beautiful views of Malpica and the Sisargas Islands. Furthermore, it is worth knowing that in September and October it is the ideal place to watch migrating birds.
If you like beaches, then head for Laxe, around 25 kilometres from the sanctuary, and you will enjoy a broad expanse of sand and calm waters ideal for children to swim.
Living tradition
The Costa da Morte is a land of traditions, especially those related with the sea. One of these is the life of "percebeiros", shellfish collectors who pick delicious barnacles ("percebes") off the rocks. You can see them at work at the cliffs in O Roncudo, very close to Corme, a beautiful village with narrow streets and brightly coloured houses. Pottery and bobbin lace making are two more ancient crafts that are still practised on the Costa da Morte. The former, in Buño, where besides buying something by way of a souvenir, you can also take part in workshops to learn how it is done. Bobbin lace making, meanwhile, is focused in Camariñas, where skilful craftsmen and women have revitalised this ancestral tradition.
Sea flavour
The Costa da Morte has maritime flavour. See for yourself by sampling Galicia's famous shellfish, particularly abundant in this area, with barnacles, cockles and mussels. Some say that combining these with the local wine, called "albariño" by the locals, provides a small taste of the divine.
Land of legends
The Costa da Morte is a land of legends. A host of legendary myths have lived alongside the local people from time immemorial. One of them is the supposed appearance of the Apostle Santiago de la Virgen (Saint James) in a stone boat guided by angels. Two of the stones that made up the vessel can be seen today in Muxía and many people attribute miraculous properties to them. This is the very origin of the pilgrimage held in Muxía in honour of the Virxe de la Barca.
The Costa da Morte has many mystical associations. As with the one mentioned above, many are linked with the Way of Saint James. In fact, many pilgrims finish their route on the Costa da Morte, in Finisterre, where there is a lighthouse 17 metres tall that guides thousands of boats that sail along the coast. In ancient times this place was known as the doorway to the Great Beyond and many pilgrims still burn their clothes here as a sign of purification to begin their joyful return having successfully reached "the end of the world".
Countryside, living tradition, mystical legends and delicious gastronomy in small fishing villages on the Atlantic coast. This is what you will find on the Costa da Morte. If you want to be sure not to miss a thing, then head for the region's tourist office.

I thought these would look really fun hanging from a branch or in a shadowbox frame. Maybe next year. The best part is that if you sew much and ever home can, you probably everything you need to make these right now. Want to whip some up for your family?
You'll need the following items:
- Your template, download HERE.
- Canning lids
- Heat n bond lite
- Scraps of fabric, larger pieces of white, and small pieces of your chosen colors.
- Scraps of interfacing
- Scraps of batting
- Ricrac
- Skinny ribbon
- Embroidery floss
- Cardstock or other heavy paper for backing
- Hot glue and glue gun
- Hand sewing needles, scissors, pencil or mark b gone pen, and your iron and ironing board.
Step one. Trace the shapes with pencil onto heat n bond lite.
Step Two. Adhere your shapes onto the wrong side of your chosen fabric scraps. Remember things will be a mirror image, so to get the red first on your rainbow heart, you start from the left side.
Step three. Trace the can lid onto a scrap of interfacing, and cut out thecircle.
Step four. With your iron, adhere the interfacing, and then trim your fabric to about 1/2" from the interfacing.
Step five. Apply your chosen appliques to the RIGHT side of your fabric circle.
Repeat for each design. It should look something like this:
Step six. Add embroidery details. I like the look of simple embroidery. Suggestions include tracing the heart shapes with a running stitch, using hearts to make the rain falling from the cloud, and adding stems to the heart flowers.
Another optional detail is using a thin marker to write out little sayings.
Step seven. Assemble the charms. Cut out batting circles the same size as your canning lid.
Using a hand needle, sew a gathering stitch around the perimeter of the circle.
Next, tuck the batting and can lid into your fabric circle, batting first.
Tighten up your stitches, and knot to secure.
Step eight. Finishing touches. With the hot glue gun, add ricrac along the back of the charm, adjusting it so the ricrac is just peeking from the front.
Cut about 10 inches of skinny ribbon to make a hanger, and glue to the back at the top.
Finally, trace the lid shape onto some cardstock, and cut out. Glue to the back of the charm to hide your work.
And that's it! Simple, fun little decorations to let your family know you love them.
Here are some close ups of each design:
I hope this sparks your handmade gift giving penchant.
Any fun surprises you're making for Valentine's Day?

With our long national Cash For Clunkers nightmare finally over at 8:00PM EST, we know it'll be a while 'till we've finished counting the dead and even longer for the church bell at the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral to finish tolling.
Oh, but wait, it's not over just yet. Apparently the Department of Transportation's extended the deadline for dealer submissions until tomorrow at noon thanks the official Cash For Clunkers dealer submission site being down for, like, hours on end today. So you know what that means — more lists of traded-in and purchased vehicles. Yay! We know Matt can hardly wait!

They don't even have a track, but that didn't stop one track and field team in South Carolina from winning the state title.
Central High School in Pageland had only a few busted hurdles and one starting block known as "old rusty" to its name this season, Charlotte TV station WBTV reported.
"Our conditions are bad," coach Billy Blakeney said.
"We got potholes. Running around the field, one of my guy's twisted his ankle one day right before a meet."
But team members didn't let that stop them.
They won county, regional and upper state tournaments this season. And just this past weekend, Central was crowned 2-AA state champions, according to WBTV.
"Just because we don't have a track, doesn't stop us from anything. I take it as, this is what made us better. It made us a championship team," runner Travay Hatten said.

Posted by J. Quigley in Japanese Proverbs, Life, Perseverance on February 9, 2013
Never give up…
Nana korobi ya oki (七転び八起き) is a Japanese proverb that means, "seven times down, eight times up."
nana (七) = 7
korobi (転び) = fall down
ya (八) = 8
oki (起き) = get up
It is a saying about perseverance and not giving up no matter how many times you are knocked down. I've seen this proverb associated with the Japanese Daruma doll, which is a hollow, round Japanese traditional doll modeled after Bodhidharma, the founder of the Zen sect of Buddhism. These dolls are weighted at the bottom in a way that will always return to an upright position when tilted over.
Never Give Up. May you always get up after a fall.

July 12, 2010 — Losing weight may help modestly reduce hot flashes in menopausal women, researchers say.
Hot flashes, also known as hot flushes, are common in menopausal women. They typically cause sweatiness and redness in the face and can be disruptive and last for five or more years. Past research suggests that a higher body mass index (BMI) — a measurement of height and weight — is associated with more severe hot flashes, but whether losing weight could make a difference has remained unclear.
Study author Alison J. Huang, MD, of the University of California at San Francisco and colleagues randomly assigned 338 overweight or obese women to either an intense, behavior-oriented weight loss program or to a health education program. The women were taking part in a study on urinary incontinence. Participants in the intensive weight loss program had a goal to lose 7% to 9% of their body weight in 6 months. They met with experts weekly and were encouraged to exercise for 200 minutes per week, such as brisk walking, and follow a 1,200 to 1,500 daily calorie diet. The health education program required women to attend four one-hour sessions that addressed nutrition and healthy living.
The women's average age was 53, they had a BMI of 25 or higher, and had urinary incontinence. At the beginning of the study, 154 women reported that they were bothered by hot flashes. Among this group, a total of 141 provided data about their hot flash symptoms six months after the start of the study.
Sixty-five of the 141 women said they were less bothered by their hot flashes six months after participating in the weight loss program, 53 reported no change, and 23 women reported a worsening of symptoms. Compared with those in the health education program, women who were in the weight loss program and were bothered by hot flashes had more than twice the odds of reporting a measurable improvement after six months.
Improvements were associated with decreases in weight, BMI, and waist size. However, there were no significant associations between changes in flashing symptoms and exercise, calorie intake, blood pressure, and overall physical and mental function.
The findings are published in the July 12 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
"Among women who were at least slightly bothered by flushing at baseline, the intensive lifestyle intervention was associated with significantly greater decreases in weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure relative to the control group," Huang and her team write. "No statistically significant effect of the intervention on self-reported physical activity, total calorie intake or overall physical or mental functioning was observed. Our findings indicate that women who are overweight or obese and experience bothersome hot flushes may also experience improvement in these symptoms after pursuing behavioral weight loss strategies; however, improvements in weight or body composition may not be the only mediators of this effect."

WELCOME TO this week's Big Fish Blog, coming to you here every Thursday. This time it's by the Pike Anglers Club.
We take predator fishing seriously at the Mail, so are delighted our pals at the PAC are on board. This instalment comes from PAC general secretary Alan Dudhill.
We hope you enjoy the blog, and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter by clicking the icons above, or by the "old skool" method of telling fellow anglers! Feel free also to comment by using the special space at the bottom on this page.
FIRSTLY, many thanks for the kind words of support we've received from Anglers' Mail readers. Good to see anglers from other disciplines praising our members for the charity, educational and conservation work they do.
We're very proud of what we do for all angling. Pike anglers can sometimes be seen as outsiders and 'stunt pullers'. This blog gives us the opportunity to dismiss this myth and demonstrate that the majority of pikers are very responsible and make a vital contribution to the sport.
On this theme I thought I'd cover a little bit about my thoughts on the future of angling and why it's important that ALL anglers work together in cooperation to secure the future of our sport. I'll finish off with a few words about how pike can be used to naturally control predator populations and why commercial fisheries are now starting to re-stock pike.
Together, anglers have a much louder voice…
Whether you fish for carp, silver fish or predators, we're all part of the bigger picture and MUST set our differences aside in challenging those who threaten our 'shared' sport. A sport, which is under increasing threat.
We hear about direct threats such as killer shrimp and prymnesium and over-predation by otters and cormorants, to name but a few. However, it is my opinion that the policies and decisions of Government agencies and wildlife organisations are a much greater threat to our sport and indeed are responsible for many of the threats we talk about.
Their policies or failure to act, put constant pressure on our sport and on occasion their naivety leaves us completely bewildered. Quite worrying when you consider these are the very organisations whom we entrust to protect our sport and the wider environment.
After the event, we rightfully have our say and raise appropriate objections, but the horse has already bolted. Does it not therefore make more sense for us to work with these organisations so we can have our say from the start?
We will not get everything our own way but at least our views would be heard and you never know, we may even have some influence on future policies. Fighting battles at local level has its place but addressing these issues at the highest level and at inception, would surely have give a more positive and longer-lasting resolve.
Angling is by far the biggest 'participation' sport in the UK, but we have millions of anglers in millions of different clubs. Imagine the clout we would have If we could find a way to work together.
The Angling Trust is the best chance we have ever had in bringing anglers together to fight a common cause. I've dealt with many of their officials and have the greatest confidence in their ability to represent us at national level in securing the future of our sport. I'd urge ALL anglers to join the Trust and give them the backing they need to enable them to continue to address the many issues & threats on our behalf.
Why fisheries are re-stocking big pike…
Conserving pike stocks has a positive influence on all fish stocks. The basic principals are simple. The pike's main predator, is pike. The pike's diet can be as much as 80% pike.
Remove the bigger pike and the smaller pike are free to run amuck unchecked until some reach a size where they can start to eat other pike and re-dress the balance. This can take several years.
Netting & electro-fishing only serves to remove bigger pike, leaving the fingerlings & small jacks behind, again resulting in a water full of rapidly growing small pike. This suits no one, not even pike anglers.
This is why fisheries have to go to the expense of re-netting every few years. Nature has been controlling pike populations free of charge for millions of years.
Another point to consider is that pike, as well as eating each other, eat other predators such as perch. Perch and other smaller predators actually eat far more fish that a pike, as they're eating lots of smaller ones, as opposed to the odd larger one.
The absence of pike results in an explosion of perch, as is evident at many commercials where larger pike have been removed. Some perch will also reach massive proportions and become the water's number one predator. This is only a temporary situation as the smaller pike grow or are pike are re-introduced.
It is only when we interfere with nature's delicate balance that we have problems. The simple solution is to leave nature to it and make steps to protect the bigger pike so they can get on and do their job.
Lets also remember that most fish will die from old age or disease. Why then are our fisheries not disease ridden and awash with dead fish? Quite simply, the pike and other natural predators are eating them. Dead or dying fish make for the easy meals all predators prefer. The pike is no different, hence why large dead-baits are so successful for big pike.
You can see here why the pike may be attracted to the actions of a matchman's roach, as its wound in slowly, kicking and struggling. This would also explain why a livebait stands out like a sore thumb amongst a shoal of hundreds of other prey fish.
Of course, some may think that pike will eat all the fish in the water. Clearly, if this were the case, it would not have survived for millions of years and our natural waterways would all be devoid of fish. Far from it! It's not a coincidence that the best pike waters hold the biggest and healthiest fish stocks.
To distinguish the pike from other predators like the cormorant; pike are cold-blooded and need to process very little food to sustain life. The average pike will eat around three times its body weight per year. A large pike may only eat a single 2 lb bream and will then lay-up for weeks to digest it. A cormorant, as a warm-blooded predator, needs to eat this every single day merely to survive. Not difficult to imagine the devastation caused by a whole flock.
The feeding habits of large pike are very different to that of jacks, quite simply because it's eating the odd larger meal as opposed to lots of smaller ones. This would also explain why it's rare for large pike (over say 15 lb) to pester the match man. A small pike may snatch several small roach from a hook before it's full. This gives the impression that the water is full of pike, which brings about the unnecessary calls for culling.
Pike cannot be completely eradicated from any water. You could dig a hole in the middle of a field and within a few years it will have self-stocked with at least three species of fish, eels, perch and pike. The eel can of course travel across land but pike and perch spawn together and this spawn can be carried on bird's feet, transferring it from the swallow, weedy spawning areas to the next water source the bird may visit.
Many modern fisheries have started to re-introduce large pike as a successful means of keeping pike numbers down to a minimum. This is the pike's natural balance. This not only prevents large populations of small pike and the expense of netting, but also provides these fisheries with a source of income during the winter months. Pike anglers will pay handsomely to fish waters, which hold large pike.
It is one thing to set-up a well balanced fishery but quite another to maintain it. Clearly the ecological stability rests on the welfare of the big pike. This is why the PAC is constantly striving to educate anglers to the importance of using pike-friendly rigs and safe methods of landing, unhooking, handling and quick return.The pike may appear to be a tough predator but is the first to go belly-up if miss-handled or kept out of the water for more than a few minutes.
Waters also need to be policed correctly to protect the big pike from being removed illegally, through poaching and long-lines. Once the predator/prey balance has been restored to a water, this balance has to be protected from non-natural influences. This is the only time that nature will need a helping hand.

For a genus g compact smooth surface $M$, an algebraic structure is the same as a complex structure is the same as a conformal structure. So the moduli space of smooth curves should be the same as the moduli space of conformal structures on $M$. A conformal structure is an equivalence class of Riemmanian metrics that give the same angle measurements.
If I embed $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$, I get a metric on $M$. This gives me a conformal structure, hence a point in the moduli space. The moduli space is known to have complex dimension 3g-3 (except for g=0, where the moduli space is a point, and g=1, where the moduli space is 1-dimensional).
My question is: can we visualize the 6g-6 real dimensions as deformations of the embedding of $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$. In particular, how can we see that small deformations of a 2-sphere are conformally equivalent to the original 2-sphere.

These days, technology is as influential in the classroom as textbooks, pencils and paper.
Local educators use laptops, iPads, and smartboards to take learning to the next level. At home, students use websites to complete lessons and parents can view grades and check in with teachers.
To provide even more information at the touch of a finger, California Department of Education created a smartphone application with data on the states more than 10,000 public schools.
The CA Schools mobile app allows users to locate nearby schools based on their current location and provides a wealth of details, including contacts and directions, demographics, test scores, and a school's California School Dashboard profile page.
"Never before have we put so much school information literally in the hands of our students, parents, and community members and made the information so accessible and user-friendly," said Tom Torlakson, state superintendent. "Home buyers can check out schools in their prospective neighborhoods. Parents heading to a child's away game can map directions to the host school. There are all kinds of potential uses."

Two UH Manoa students selected for prestigious FBI summer internshipsUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — Two University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa students are among the 100 undergraduate and graduate students nationwide currently participating in this summer's Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Honors Internship Program in Washington, D.C. The very selective and highly competitive program began this month and ends in August, offering students an intensive, 10-week paid internship and an insider's view of the daily operations of the FBI.
Kara S. Kusunoki, an undergraduate student in the Shidler College of Business, is currently assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division at FBI Headquarters. Kusunoki, a native of Wailuku, Maui, is double-majoring in finance and political science. Taryn Meeks, who will be a third-year law student this fall at the William S. Richardson School of Law, is working in the FBI's Office of General Counsel alongside civil and agent attorneys. Meeks is originally from Fresno, Calif.
The FBI Honors Internship Program, which is in its 23rd year, offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to explore some of the many career opportunities that are available within the FBI. Students work side-by-side with special agents and professional support personnel on important cases and procedures. Each intern is assigned to an FBI Headquarters division based on their academic discipline, potential contribution to the division, and the needs of the FBI. By the end of the internship experience, students will have a thorough understanding of the inner workings of the FBI.
Each summer, only individuals with strong academic credentials, outstanding character, a high degree of motivation, and the willingness to represent the FBI upon returning to their respective campus are selected. Students apply for the program through the FBI field office nearest to their school, and each field office nominates a designated number of candidates to FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. A selection committee determines the final candidates, who then undergo an extensive screening process that includes a thorough FBI background investigation and receive FBI Top Secret Clearance in order to be eligible to participate.
Applications for the 2008 FBI Honors Internship Program will be available on July 1, 2007, from the FBI's Honolulu Division. Interested individuals can contact Special Agent Kal Wong for more information or to request an application at (808) 566-4300. Additional information is also available online at http://www.fbijobs.gov/231.asp. All applications must be completed and submitted to the Honolulu office by October 10, 2007 for consideration.

Bill Peduto pledges to shake up city government from 'top to bottom'
Democratic mayoral nominee to face Republican Josh Wander in Nov. 5 election
Democratic mayoral primary winner Bill Peduto told supporters they're on the verge of a new Pittsburgh. On Wednesday, in four words, he pledged to shake up city government: "top to bottom, change."
Peduto believes the double-digit victory margin voters gave him on Tuesday night sends a message about Mayor Luke Ravenstahl's administration.
"I think it's almost created that mandate. That people have become so disconnected and disenfranchised with their city government that they're expecting great things from it and looking for new people to come in to be able to run it," said Peduto.
Peduto pledges a national search, not only for a new police chief, but for new department heads across city government. He does not rule out keeping or promoting managers from within city government.
"Over the next six months, (I'm) going to be looking very closely at the people that are in administration and how they are doing within their own departments," he said. "If there's a willingness to work together in order to do what's best for the city of Pittsburgh, they'll have an opportunity to stay on in a new administration. If there's a wall that's being put up and animosity that is allowing for bad decision making or the inability to do what's best, then they're probably not going to be a part of a new administration."
In a one-on-one interview with Channel 4 Action News reporter Bob Mayo after a Wednesday news conference, Peduto made it clear he's prepared for an independent candidate to enter the mayor's race by this fall.
"Look, there are people in this city who have run this town for decades, and they're not happy with what happened yesterday. We know that," said Peduto.
Under state law, any independent candidate for mayor this fall would need to have been registered as Independent 30 days before the spring primary.
Voters can rule out City Councilman Corey O'Connor, the son of the late mayor Bob O'Connor, whose future is often the subject of speculation in Pittsburgh political circles. O'Connor said he's still a Democrat and that he's backing Peduto after remaining neutral during the primary.
"So, you're not even eligible?" asked Mayo. O'Connor answered, laughing, "Oh, no, I'm not. No, no, not me. I'm getting married in June. That's enough. I'm busy with that."
Peduto won't speculate about who may jump in the race.
"Whether they put up another candidate against us is something that we'll prepare for, but in the end, they're not going to be able to beat us," he said.
Republican Josh Wander was unopposed in his party's mayoral primary. He said he welcomes any mayoral opponent and is ready to face Peduto.
"I think we can give him a few days to relax. He said he had trouble eating healthy food. I think he should go treat himself to a salad, and I think we'll talk soon," said Wander.
Wander said "People were really upset in Pittsburgh by the negativity, by the mudslinging" in the Democratic primary.
"I think that looking toward the fall, it's important to give the voters another choice because even though for Bill Peduto this is a big win, I think for Pittsburgh it's a big loss. In the end, very few voters came out because of the apathy that was created due to this negativity," Wander said.

Winging it: Eating contest turns stomachs
Did you know that eating is not just a life-sustaining pleasure, but also a serious competitive sport? A sport with its own rules, strategies, rewards, and international champions?
Check out the IFOCE website (International Federation of Competitive Eating-ifoce.com) for more on the history, records, and rapidly spreading popularity of this "all-you-can-eat" phenomenon, whose most famous event is the Nathan's Famous Hotdogs 4th of July Eating Contest in Coney Island.
In local sports news, participants in the 2004 UVA Gorge-a-thon last Tuesday, April 27, got a taste of what it's like to down unthinkable quantities of food- in this case Wild Wings boneless chicken wings– in front of a cheering, amazed, and slightly revolted (speaking not only for myself) crowd.
The event was conceived and organized by the UVA Japanese Club (competitive eating, like competitive Iron Chef-style cooking, is big in Japan) as a way to expose a diverse array of students to this phenomenon and ultimately earn funds for the Thomas Jefferson United Way charity. The Gorge-a-thon featured several 12-minute rounds, each with 6-8 student contestants and their respective "spotters."
Every contestant but one was an amateur eater (lots of gagging, not much pacing) compared to the event's featured celebrity– Sonya "the Black Widow" Thomas.
Get a load of just a few of her world records: 5.5 lbs. of tempura deep-fried asparagus (10 minutes), 65 hard-boiled eggs (6 minutes, 40 seconds), 43 soft tacos (11 minutes), 432 oysters (10 minutes), and 134 chicken wings (12 minutes). Not bad for a 105-pound young woman from Alexandria. No wonder she has been challenging her competitors (she was the IFOCE "Rookie of the year" in 2003) and fascinating the media lately (Time, CNN).
How does she do it? Well, I can't say exactly how the little waif managed to fit 56.4 ounces of chicken (five or six plates-full) into her flat little stomach when even the beefiest Cavalier football players stopped at less than half that amount
"iron belly" or mind-over-body?
But I could tell she was a pro by the way she focused intently on the task at hand, by the way she made sure her (5) cups of water were ready before the contest's start, by the way she tore the fingers up into pieces before using all 10 of her own fingers to force them into her mouth, and by the way she maintained a consistent pace throughout the entire 12-minute round. And by the way she kept it all down afterwards, while maintaining a photo-friendly smile. Definitely more sport than gluttony involved in Sonya's eating.
Seconds, anyone?
Seafood Soups and more– at Market
Now that the Main Street Market has evolved into a popular lunch spot, it seems only right that seafood should swim on into the mid-day mix. Thanks to the enterprising efforts of chef Dave Ganoe, and obliging owner Chris Arseneault, seafood soups are now available for lunch at Seafood @ West Main.
A self-described Jack-of-all-trades when it comes to food (he was a pastry chef at the Silver Thatch Inn and bison-chili brewing chef at the now defunct Georgetown Farms café), Ganoe has been working for Arseneault since August. About two months ago, Ganoe got the go-ahead to start selling his seafood gumbo as well as steamed mussels for lunch on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (the days he works).
Ganoe hopes to add more soups in the months ahead (seafood gazpacho, thai coconut). Frozen soup bases are also available most days to take home– pick up a quart of thai coconut soup base and a half pound of heads-on shrimp, and you're in business!
If you want to learn some tricks of the trade, Ganoe also teaches a series of techniques workshops at The Seasonal Cook called, appropriately, "Something Fishy" at $55 per class.
Salmon– aka "en croute," "pan-roasted with wild mushrooms and beurre rouge" and "osso buco with seasonal vegetables"– is up next on May 13.
Sonya Thomas demonstrates her 10-fingers technique.

Chalk horse?
Posted by DH on October 01, 2004
In Reply to: Chalk horse? posted by platypus on October 01, 2004
: : : "Never bet on a chalk horse". I heard this on an episode of "Law and Order" last night. I've never seen a pale, thoroughbred horse, and I'd like to know if "chalk horse" is a horse race term for something other than color.
: : I'm no gambler so I could well be completely off-track here, but might it refer to the figures carved into the chalk hillsides in many Southern English counties (these take many forms, but a large number are horses.)
: : It would certainly be a mistake to bet on one to win any sort of race!
: The scene in question took place at an OTB (off-track betting) in New York City. I'm fairly certain it relates directly to horse racing and gambling.

The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today responded to the full results from The Solar Foundation's (TSF) third annual National Solar Jobs Census, which details subsector job figures for the U.S. solar energy industry. The report shows the continued growth in U.S. solar jobs is led by system installers, sales and distribution, and other support services.
Top line results released Nov. 2, 2012 found that the industry has grown to support 119,016 U.S. jobs across all 50 states. TSF's 2012 census shows 13.2 percent growth over 2011. Companies that install solar now employ 57,177 Americans, a 17.5 percent increase over 2011 figures. Sales and distribution jobs experienced a 23.1 percent increase, now employing 16,005 Americans.
"These results are clear – the U.S. solar industry is strong and growing, and we are putting Americans back to work," said Rhone Resch, president and CEO of SEIA. "As the cost of solar continues to come down, more companies and homeowners are turning to solar for their electricity and hot water. This increase in demand for solar energy is creating economic opportunities throughout the U.S. Going forward, we expect a record year for new solar projects and corresponding job growth in 2013. This should serve as a signal to policymakers that clean energy policies are doing what they were intended to do – grow our economy."
"The National Solar Jobs Census 2012 illustrates that the solar industry, as a whole, is a dependable job creator and that solar employers are confident about growth in 2013," said Andrea Luecke, executive director of TSF. "The growth by installers, especially at larger firms, signals that this subsector is heading toward a period of consolidation and maturation on par with other successful industries at this stage of the growth curve."
Still, not every subsector exhibited strong job growth. Manufacturing jobs decreased from 37,941 jobs in 2011 to 29,742 jobs today.
"While manufacturer jobs losses are unfortunate, this is a sign of a maturing and highly-competitive global industry. We've seen this consolidation trend in other industries, and we'll see it again. Still, more than 1,000 solar manufacturers operate in the U.S., and with strong demand expected in 2013, they are positioned to make a rebound. This makes it all the more important to continue smart federal and state solar policies that drive private sector investment," Resch explained.
Solar employers in all subsectors expressed optimism in their census responses about future job growth. They expect to grow by 17.2 percent over the next 12 months, representing an addition of 20,000 new jobs for Americans.
The Solar Foundation and BW Research used an improved version of the Solar Energy Industries Association's National Solar Database to reach more employers. As a result, the solar employment figure for 2011 was revised upwards from 100,237 to 105,145. As in previous years, the survey examined employment throughout the solar value chain, including installation, sales and distribution, manufacturing, and other relevant subsectors and includes job numbers and growth rates. The census counts only direct jobs. The figures in the report were derived from data collected from more than 1,000 solar company survey respondents, yielding a low overall margin of error of +/-1.5%. The National Solar Jobs Census 2012 was conducted by The Solar Foundation and BW Research with technical assistance from Cornell University.

The Business of Supernetworks
Anna Nagurney established the Virtual Center for Supernetworks in 2001 as a vehicle for research and scholarship surrounding the role of networks and the management of them in a global economy.
Nagurney is a global expert in supernetworks, which, simply put, are networks of networks. She and her students try to capture the interactions among networks and their impact on business and society. "There are so many networks: energy, communication, transportation, financial, economic, political, and the Internet, which is a very distributed network. There are fundraising networks, environmental networks, distribution networks, social networks. They are all interrelated. What happens in one affects another," says Nagurney.
Nagurney established the Virtual Center for Supernetworks in 2001 as a vehicle for research and scholarship surrounding the role of networks and the management of them in a global economy. Her research on network systems, from transportation and logistics, including supply chains (both commercial and humanitarian ones), to the Internet, has brought recognition nationally and internationally to the campus.
"Most people think of networks as the links and the nodes, but what my students and I find interesting are the flows between the nodes, including the role that human decision making plays," says Nagurney. How decision makers use and manage networks and how they respond to network disruptions are the keys to improving network performance and to identifying vulnerabilities.
When networks are designed and managed well, goods and services flow efficiently and smoothly, but when disrupted, chaos may result and the ensuing economic and social costs can be devastating. "Managing disruptions requires collaboration and cooperation among network managers, businesses, governments, and even users," says Nagurney. She notes that you don't have to look far for examples of the chaos that network disruptions cause—just pick up the newspaper.
"The number of natural disasters and the people affected by them is growing," says Nagurney. She points to the devastating 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami which, among other things, led to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear meltdown, more than 43,000 people dead or injured, nearly 400,000 collapsed or partially collapsed buildings, and widespread severe road, rail and infrastructure damage. Around 4.4 million households in the north eastern region of Japan were left without electricity and 1.5 million without water. The estimated economic losses totaled up to $34 billion, one of the most expensive natural disasters in world history. Although it happened in Japan, it was felt in America. "Supply chains were disrupted and Americans waited for new cars for months. Auto manufacturers in Japan didn't have a plan B," says Nagurney.
Nagurney and her students model not only how supply chains can rebound more quickly after a disaster, but also how to save lives by studying how businesses, NGOs and governments can better manage, warehouse, and deliver life-saving supplies such as food, water, and medicine to affected areas through enhanced humanitarian logistics.
"My students have a lot of interest in humanitarian logistics and several of them have written dissertations in this area," says Nagurney. She consequently created a new course, Humanitarian Logistics and Healthcare. According to Min Yu, one of Nagurney's doctoral students, she and others in the class have heard from experts from the Red Cross, the National Guard, and even from the UMass Amherst campus emergency preparedness department. "With so many recent disasters the research is timely and fascinating," says Nagurney.
Nagurney believes that there are many interesting problems that need to be addressed in networks and supply chains that require interdisciplinary expertise, along with good data and mathematical models. "We strive to be the leaders in this area. We are pushing the frontiers of education and research and solving problems that will make the world a better place," says Nagurney.
Part of that is educating the next generation of experts. "I have many international students who are taking this work out into the world," says Nagurney. "The education in the Isenberg School is simply outstanding and the Operations Management majors are amazing. My students are highly sought after and they make our faculty proud."
Nagurney is the John F. Smith Memorial Professor in the Department of Finance and Operations Management in the Isenberg School of Management and the Founding Director of the UMass Amherst Virtual Center for Supernetworks. She received her AB, ScB, ScM, and PhD degrees from Brown University. She has authored or co-authored nearly a dozen books on supernetworks, logistics and decision making. Her many honors include: Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Fellow, Distinguished Fulbright Chair, AT&T Industrial Ecology Fellow, and a National Science Foundation Faculty Award for Women. In 2007, Nagurney was elected a Fellow of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI), and, in 2012, was appointed a Visiting Professor of Operations Management at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.

Thanks..I have an 06 TJ with stock radio....no aux jack..I'm thinking of getting the FM antenna cable relay.
Thanks..I have an 06 TJ with stock radio....no aux jack..I'm thinking of getting the FM antenna cable relay.
That should be no big deal. You can grab that wire right behind the glovebox...but I am sure you know that. I would then run the wire out the bottom of the center dash by the coin dish if you are looking to install like me. If you are going up to the windshield just run the wire up and out the windshield defrost vent.
Hadn't thought of using the Vent! Thanks for the help!
Question 1: Where would be the best place to install the antenna without interfering with the module hard top?
Question 2: Is the coin tray similar in the automatic?
Great idea!!!! on question though how did you avoid puncturing the electronic board inside the adapter and what lenght of screws did you use??
You mean the mounting adapter for the sportster unit that is affixed to the little coin type tray? There was no electronic board underneath it (not immediately underneath it as far as I can remember)... its a simple tray that pops out. I used screws that were just long enough no need to go overboard, its not like it needs to be able to withstand 50lbs of force or anything.
You can mount the antenna under the roll bar padding on a hard top jeep too. The hard top does not affect the signal. I have had mine mounted under the roll bar padding on the passenger side for several years now. My GPS antenna is mounted under the padding on the drivers side. Both work great.
THANK YOU.. I have an '11 wrangler with the "trial" subscription, but have lifetime on my sportster. I have a couple more transfers on the lifetime sub, but prefer to save them for when i really need them. this will be a life saver, especially if the signal quality is as good as you mention with the top up. I had been searching for a way to use the "factory" antenna, but this will be fine too if I can run the wire as good as you did.
No problem. It really is that simple and the antenna signal strength is perfect on a soft top.
I think they do make converters to tie a factory antenna into a sportster but, I can't help you on locating the factory lines since I have an 03.
If you have any question or need a hand, I am around. Good luck.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
