The day I thought my baby was about to die
Published at 11:09, Thursday, 14 June 2012
A YOUNG mother feared that her newborn daughter was going to die after falling out of a cot onto a concrete floor at West Cumberland Hospital.
Speaking exclusively to The Whitehaven News, Selina Peckham says she thought her daughter Alisha, who was just hours old, was "a goner".
Alisha fell face-down onto the floor after the cot, being pushed by midwife Diana Warwick, toppled over. The baby suffered bruising to her forehead.
Selina said: "Alisha didn't have any broken bones but she had a bump the size of an egg on her head. The hospital staff said it was good that she had cried at the time, but I was so worried about what could have happened.
"I didn't sleep for about a week. She was so quiet. I didn't want to wake up and find I had lost her. I would stay awake for hours to check if she was still breathing."
Miss Warwick – dubbed Britain's worst midwife by national newspapers – was officially struck off last week, after being found guilty by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of 35 charges, including allowing a baby to fall from a cot in September 2005.
Alisha, who is now six, is described by Selina as a "bright girl" who has not had any lasting injuries caused by the fall.
The family has made an official complaint to the North Cumbria University Hospitals Trust following the start of coverage of Miss Warwick's case in the press last year. There is also a potential negligence claim against the Trust.
Selina says that several hours after her daughter's birth, Miss Warwick had taken Alisha to have a heel-prick test. On returning to the ward, she said the midwife opened the double doors and walked backwards with Alisha in the cot.
"She [Miss Warwick] was coming through the double doors. She was busy talking to someone. She grabbed the top of the cot box rather than using the metal handles. The cot toppled over and Alisha fell onto the floor.
"I was screaming hysterically. They tried to calm me down and midwives rushed over to Alisha. The midwife tried to speak to me, but I had some choice words for her. I thought that was it. I thought Alisha was a goner. She fell onto a concrete floor. She was very cold. They put her under one of the heat lamps.
"She didn't feed for two or three days and I think that's because she was distressed."
Following the incident, Selina told her mother, who subsequently suffered a heart attack and had to be treated at West Cumberland Hospital.
Selina said: "I was never told that the midwife wasn't fully trained. I work as a carer and I know that if you're not fully trained, you need to be supervised. They told me that she [Miss Warwick] had been asked to leave the hospital. I didn't see her again."
Selina and her partner Gary Jenkinson were unaware that Miss Warwick had been allowed to carry on working at the hospital until reports came out of her hearing last year. This included details of Alisha falling out of the cot while in the midwife's care.
Selina said: "I was annoyed and upset that they had not contacted me when that charge involved my child. She [Miss Warwick] should never have been allowed back into the hospital after what happened with Alisha."
The family have asked for Alisha's medical records, which the Trust says have "gone amiss".
Alisha now attends Seascale Primary School and is involved in a host of activities including attending Rainbow classes and swimming lessons.
Selina said: "Alisha is very bright. She is a very playful and helpful girl. She knows if there's something wrong. She loves arts and crafts and she enjoys taking part in after school activities whenever she can."
A spokesperson for the North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust said: "The Trust appreciates that this is an upsetting time for the Peckham family. We cannot make any further comment due to patient confidentiality but we can confirm that we are in contact with the family."

R&B song parody that Justin Timberlake performed on Saturday Night Live (otherwise known as SNL). The main part of the video contains Timberlake and SNL cast member Andy Samberg dancing with Christmas-wrapped boxes, attached to their genitals. Probably one of SNL's best sketches in at least 10 years, and makes me forget about the Nipplegate incident of 2004. 1. Cut a hole in the box.

4. | dick in a box | ||
A present that a man may give to his girl friend. It is ill advised to give this gift unless you are as cool/cooler than Justin Timberlake. That way, if the girl doesn't like it, she can always find solace in the fact that you're cooler than Justin Timberlake, who is pretty cool in his own right. Average Joe: Here I got this for you.
Girl: What is that?!? Is that your dick in a box? That is gross. Average Joe: Why can't I be as cool as JT?!?!?!?!?! |

I am so happy to share another guest poster on BigFatBaker. Today I have the lovely Manuela from Manu's Menu. I have had the pleasure of talking to Manu through Twitter and other social networking sites over the past couple of months. She is very talented in the kitchen and a terrific photographer. Today she is sharing a lovely italian dessert, krapfen.
When Erin asked me to write a guest post for her, I looked into my archive and saw that I had the perfect recipe for her! I had made these a little while ago for a tea party at my daughter's pre-school and have not had a chance to blog about them yet.
When I write a post for someone else, I always try to offer something that represents me and my site… you know, like a "business card" kind of thing. So I usually write about an Italian dish and/or something I grew up with.
This dish falls under both categories: it is an Italian sweet that I grew up eating it! I know what you are thinking: krapfen… Italian? With that name? So, I think I owe you a little explanation…
Krapfen is a sweet doughnut originally from Austria and Germany where is often referred to as "Berliner", thus the name. It is common throughout central Europe, especially in the countries that were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and some parts of North-Eastern Italy are among these areas. South Tyrol/Alto Adige is a region of Italy that borders with Austria where the majority of people speak a language that is very close to Austrian German. This is the area from which krapfen have spread to the rest of Italy.
I love these doughnuts and I used to often buy them from our local bakery as a child. They can be filled with a variety of sweet fillings (including a thick custard), but the most classic filling of all for Italian krapfen is apricot jam. I hope you enjoy them! And thanks Erin for giving me the opportunity to be a guest over at your beautiful site!
- 500+150 gms flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 7 gms dry yeast
- 100 gms melted butter
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 egg yolks + 1 full egg
- 5 tbsp (75 gms) sugar + 1 tbsp (15 gms)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp rum
- Zest of 1 lemon, grated
- 1 glass of lukewarm milk (250 ml)
Put the 500 gms of flour and salt in a mixer with a dough hook. Make a well and add 1 tbsp of sugar and the yeast. Mix together and add ½ glass of lukewarm milk (125 ml) diluted with 2 tbsp of water. Mix and let the foam form.
Now add the 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, egg yolks and egg, lemon zest, rum, vanilla extract, sugar, melted butter and lukewarm milk to the frothy mixture. Put the mixer on and mix with the hook attachment until you get a smooth dough (you may require to add up to 150 gms extra flour while kneading, the final dough has to be soft, but not sticky). Let the dough rise for 2 hours in a warm place.
After the dough has risen, roll it into a ½ cm thick sheet. Cut out circles of 8 cm in diameter (you can also make smaller ones of 6 cm each, if you want to make smaller krapfen). Put 1 tsp of apricot jam on half of the circles and cover them with the remaining circles. Close by using a little water and pressing well with your fingers. Let them rest for about one hour (this step is optional, I usually prepare all the krapfen and them start frying them from the first one I made working backwards. That is enough time for the dough to rest).
Deep fry the krapfen in warm vegetable oil (I use sunflower oil). Make sure the oil is not too hot or the krapfen will get burnt and remain raw on the inside. When golden brown, remove them with a slotted spoon and put them on a plate covered with kitchen paper to drain the excess oil.
When cooled down sprinkle with icing sugar and enjoy!

The Park's expansive scenery from grasslands surrounded by the Maluti Mountains is a photographers dream. Hiking and birdwatching are also a great reason to getaway here at the first opportunity. Many unusual species of bird can only be found here. Why did it take me 30 years to visit Clarens and Golden Gate National Park!?
Mild highveld summers with the possibility of thunderstorms in the afternoon and cold winters with occasional snow transforms the park into a white wonderland. Birds are a lot more scarce in winter but it shouldn't stop you from being vigilant, as they are there and patience is required to get sightings and photos. I went to try catch a glimpse of the bearded vultures but despite a wonderful new hide funded and built by the SAN Parks Honorary Rangers on the site of the old hide, there were no regular drops of carcasses despite Park staff insisting this happens on Thursdays.
I've underlined the species I saw on my trip bar one or two LBJ's I'm still identifying.
Look for Cape Rock-Thrush, Pied Starling and Red-winged Starling, Malachite Sunbird, African Stone Chat, Yellow Bishop, Ground Woodpecker, Swainson's Spurfowl, Cape Rock-Thrush, a number of sparrow species and Cape Weaver. Cape Grassbird and Bush Blackcap in summer have been seen at the Campsite as well as Barratt's Warbler between the wooded bush and the sandstone cliffs. Alpine Swift and African Black Swift nest in summer and Rock Martin and Greater Striped Swallow. A pair of Verreauxs' Eagle usually breed each year on the 'Brandwag' or sentinel buttress, directly opposite the hotel; other smaller raptors such as Lanner Falcon and Rock Kestrel. Behind the hotel the valley has been noted to be good for African Harrier-Hawk, Cape Grassbird and Wailing Cisticola. Grey-winged Francolin, Bearded Vulture, Cape Vulture and White-necked Raven. At protea Corner look out for Gurney's Sugarbird and Malachite Sunbird, especially when they are flowering. There's a small dam on the Western side of the park and African Black Duck, assorted warblers and Southern Bald Ibis breed in the park and surrounds.
Winter temperatures can drop to a mere -9 to -15 degrees C with snow a regular occurrence.
Golden Gate primarily falls in a summer rainfall area (September to April). Annual rainfall is approximately 760 mm per year. In very wet years this figure can rise to 1250 mm. The area is prone to sudden weather changes.

Education is the key to success whether in personal advancement or in the interests of a common good. In a recent evaluation of our area, it was noticed that most Manyatta (Masai villages) had many small children. Following tradition, as the children grow older, they are expected to contribute to the life of the village, which involves collecting firewood, repairing the mud huts, and in the case of the boys, husbandry of livestock. This is part of an age-old tradition, which is central to the Masai and which we fully respect.
In this rapidly developing world, it is becoming imperative that the Masai communities are not left behind and that the children have the opportunityof an appropriate education. As part of our environmental programme, Bushtops supports the Nkoilale School, located four kilometres from the camp, attended by over 450 children, with ages ranging from pre-school to 18. There are in total only four government-paid teachers, assisted by three further teachers, who are sponsored by the parents themselves. Bushtops, under the supervision of the Headmaster, has recently initiated a programme where by senior staff from the camp assist in practical teaching projects reflecting the school's curriculum.
For example, food production and hygiene forms part of the Home Economics syllabus. These students, together with their teachers, enjoy an organized visit to our kitchens. This is a unique opportunity for them to experience a commercial kitchen at first hand.
The school also runs an environmental club, which we support by allowing the children to participate in game drives, including visits to other camps in the area. This helps them to understand the value of tourism to the welfare of their community.
Since June 2010, Mara Bushtops supports an adopt an education sponsorship project at Nkoilale Primary School benefiting both needy and bright boys and girls. The project which was started in Mid 2012 has so far benefitted 5 boys and 51 girls. Out of this number 9 have so far graduated from the school joining various Secondary school across the country. The project which so far benefits more girls than boys was initiated in particular to help curb school drop-out from girls due to cultural barriers, poverty and harsh environmental conditions, which hinder their access to primary education.
Like most of the African communities, the Maasai community is male dominated with more privileges given to the boy child. Mara Bushtops initiated a mentorship program at Nkoilale School the promote awareness about gender equality and balance in the community. By so doing once in a while we invite successful individuals from the Maasai community to inspire the pupils.
In 2011 we invited Mr. & Mrs. Wesonga, successful lawyers in Nairobi to visit the school to inspire and motivate the pupils.
In May 2011, in preparation for the World environment day, Mara Bushtops donated and collaborated with the environmental club of Nkoilale School in planting 850 tree seedlings around the school compound. Even with the harsh environmental conditions in the area, 90% of the seedlings have survived and continue to grow under the watch of the members of the club.
The world has become a global village, and communication has become a key component in promoting this trend. With the new communication technology, there is ever a need to promote faster and efficient means of communication across the globe. Because of this there is constant need to link up young people from one corner of the globe to another. The computer lab was initiated in 2012 to allow the pupils to interact with other pupils from other schools through a pen-pal system. Also this project has given a chance to the pupils to acquire computing skills at an early age to enable them be part and parcel of the developing world. The school boasts of 12 computers:
4 laptops and 8 desktops all of which is housed in a class refurbished by Mara Bushtops and fitted with seats tables ready for learning.
In collaboration with Mara Bushtops, Chloride Exide donated a state of the art solar system to provide lighting and power for the computer lab and the rest of the school. The pupils are now able to study at night and with this there is substantive improvement in the academic performance of the school in the area as the pupils can now take more time to study for their exams.
Nkoilale School in the second populous school in the whole of Mara Division with an enrollment of over 800 pupils. With such high population of pupils there is constant demand for classes to house the pupils. As a result of this, 3 classes were constructed and completed in June 2012 with Mara Bushtops, Kenya government (through the Community Development Fund) and the Nkoilale community donating 1 class each. Each classroom houses over 80 pupils.
Current project:
In spite of the fact that the majority of the pupils in the school come from the surrounding community, harsh environmental conditions and high poverty levels demanded that a feeding program at the school be initiated. With such a program in place, there is great need to build a dining hall for the pupils so that they can have a place to eat their meals. The school also initiated a boarding section which demands that a dining room be built for the comfort of the pupils who reside at the school. Already there is a plan to begin construction before the end of the year.

Yes, next time you are at one of our libraries ask for a new card at the Checkout Desk. There is no fee to replace worn or broken cards. - The catalog is asking for my password. I didn't even know I had a password!
A password (usually a 4-digit PIN number) is needed to use the 24-hour telephone renewal system (TeleCirc) or to access your account on our catalog via the Internet. If you got your library card prior to August 4, 2001, the last 4 digits of the home phone number we had on file for you on that date were automatically assigned as your PIN. After August 4, 2001, you needed to specify a 4-digit number when you obtained a library card.
If you've forgotten your password or PIN, library staff at any of our locations can reset it for you; please call or stop in during our open hours. Be sure to have your library card number when you call. You can also ask staff to change your PIN number, or you may change it yourself by logging into your account (on the Internet or on one of our catalog computers) and clicking on "change my password."
Questions about checking out and renewing materials
- How long can materials be borrowed?
Most materials check out for one three-week period and may be renewed for one additional three-week period if no one is waiting for them. Items on hold cannot be renewed, nor can books labelled "Books to Go." Video games and DVDs labelled "DVDs to Go" check out for seven days. Downloadable audiobooks check out for seven or fourteen days, and downloadable e-Books check out for seven, fourteen, or twenty-one days. - How many items can I check out?
You may have up to a total of 150 items on your account at one time. No more than 25 compact discs or 10 DVDs can be on your account at one time. - All copies of the book I want are checked out. Can I be notified when one comes back in?
You can place a request (sometimes also called a hold or a reserve) on an item and when it is returned we will hold it for you at the library location of your choice and send you a notice. You can have up to 25 requests at a time on your record. There is no charge for this service, but requests that are not picked up will result in a 50-cent fee. Notices are sent by phone or e-mail; you can sign up for e-mail notification here. Notices by US Mail are no longer available. (Requests cannot be placed on books labeled "Books to Go.") - There's a copy of the book I want at different branch than the one I use; can it be sent over?
If an item is available at any of our library locations, it can be sent to any other branch for you to pick up. There is no charge for this service. Please allow two to three days for the book to arrive. (Books labelled "Books to Go" cannot be sent from one branch to another.) - Can I return my books to a different branch than the one I checked them out from?
Yes, books checked out from Lincoln City Libraries may be returned to any of our branches. - How do I renew my books?
Most books and other items may be renewed one time, provided there are no holds on them. (Books labelled "Books to Go" cannot be renewed.) You can use any of the following ways to renew your materials:- Bring your materials in to any of our library locations; or
- call the library at (402) 441-8500; or
- call our automated renewal system (TeleCirc) at (402) 441-8506 from a touch-tone phone; have your library card ready and listen carefully to the instructions; or
- use our online catalog. You may renew all of your materials at once or just selected ones.
- From a Library Catalog screen, click on "Log in to Your Account," or from the Library's Web site, click on the "My Library Account" link
- Enter the number on the barcode of your library card
- Enter your 4-digit PIN number and click "Log In"
- Click "Renew" for each item listed in your account that you want to renew.
- How much are overdue fees?
Overdue fees are charged as an incentive to return materials on time so that other customers will also have access to them.- 35 cents per day per item is charged (the maximum fine per item is $7.50, except for magazines, which have a $3.00 maximum). Overdue fees for packaged collections (such as Classroom Loan Bags) are $1.00 per day.
- When accumulated fees reach $10 or more, no further checkouts will be allowed. Please ask staff for details if materials are lost or damaged.
- Accounts for cardholders with accumulated fines who do not respond to the Library's notices to clear their account may be referred to a collection agency and a $10 fee will be assessed.
- Can I pay my fees with a credit or debit card?
Credit and debit cards can be used on some self-service checkout machines at Bennett Martin Public Library and at the Anderson, Eiseley, Gere, Walt, and Williams Branches. - I've lost an item that I checked out! How much do I have to pay?
The fee for lost items is the replacement price. If you find a lost item after this fee is assessed, the replacement price can be removed, but there will still be overdue fees (up to the maximum fee per item).
- Can you notify me by e-mail about overdue books?
You can sign up for e-mail notification of overdue items here; notification is not sent until the item is two days overdue.
Questions about library terms
- What is the difference between an item "being held" and one in "transit"?
If an item is being held, someone has requested to have it held for them when it became available, or has requested that it be sent from one library to another that is more convenient for them. An item in transit is usually one that was returned to a library other than the one it belongs to, and is on its way back to where it belongs. - The catalog says the book I want is "In Process." What does that mean?
"In Process" means that the library has received the item and it is being prepared for use. - The catalog says the book I want is "To be shelved." What does that mean?
A status of "To be shelved" means that the book has recently been returned and may or may not be back on the shelf yet. The first place to check for such books is on the shelf where they belong, as the book may have already been shelved. If it's not there, there may be some carts of books waiting to be shelved that you can check. If the book you want is not in any of these places, you may need to try again in a few days, or ask library staff about obtaining a copy from another branch or placing a hold for it.
Questions about other library services
- How can I get access from my home computer to the Research Resources the library subscribes to?
Click on the "Research Resources" button on the Lincoln City Library Web site and follow the instructions on the page that comes up; in most cases you will need to enter your library card number. (Please note that due to licensing restrictions, a few of our Research Resources are not available for access from home.) - Do you offer wireless Internet (Wi-Fi) access?
Free wireless Internet access is available at all Lincoln City Libraries during open hours. - Do you have a computer that I can type a letter or a résumé on?
Information about computer services available at Lincoln City Libraries can be found on our Publicly Available Computers page. - Do you have a typewriter that I can use?

dude if you at it right, you can see a cat-like face. Could this be ravage???
in the video, it has frenzy like apendages... rumble???
we shouldn't assume that Frenzy is back. There are so many characters that they can bring into the movie and considering this one looks so different from Frenzy, its highly possible that it could be another one of Soundwave's minions.
Rumble, Ravage, Laserbeak???
I don't really like the idea of existing Transformer characters taking new forms. Why would Frenzy take a new form? That opens too many doors for the other characters taking other forms as well that would serve the story better, too convieniently. And audiences will ask, why would he take that form instead of this form?? And if that actually happened, it will stray further and further away from the Transformers lore.
please not!, it can't be Frenzy, i mean.. he got his show.. and we all see him dying (and there's no all spark for him to repair himself) ... this must be a new one - i cross fingers..
lil amateur-movie director ^^ --> www.darthfj.de
I think its Rumble, he is seeking revenge for Frenzy (Attack Humans:deadhorse1
Its Rasta-bot..look at those funny dreads or whatever on its head..
My bet is Ravage. After watching the video, it seems to act more animal-like as it claws at the windshield. Its face almost resembles that of a dog.
(by the way, shouldn't this be in the media thread)
I personally hopes its Ravage (it does have a cat like face), but whoever the hell it turns out to be, it looks freaking awesome. If it has one, I wonder what its Alt-Mode will be?
I think it is Rumble
All Hail Megatron!
The eyes are not the same as Frenzy's. I would take a stab and say that it is a modified Frenzy most likely Rumble. Ravage and/or Laserbeak will be significantly different from those two.
"...take it away but I want more and more, one day I'm gonna lose the war."
Im surprised they filmed this in a location where anyone could whip out a camera and film it. I know its early but they really dont seems to be policing the net like they did in the first one.
sorry.. but i can't see a cat like or a bird like face.. its just a variation of Frenzys face.. (except these hairs or what ever it has on its head)
lil amateur-movie director ^^ --> www.darthfj.de
It's not Frenzy, it can't be.
Sure just built up my anticipation though.
I saw the video, it's a pretty sophisticated puppet. Every bit of it, even the "dreadlocks" are moving very smoothly.

Does anyone have any idea on when a teaser might be out? Bay has been busy as hell, but a teaser should be expected soon right?

Americans say they are becoming more conservative
...an Obama effect?
Just eight months after the election of Barack Obama, the latest poll from Gallup shows that Americans claim - by two to one - that they are getting more conservative. Which really has to make you wonder, "where were these people on Election Day?"
From the poll:
PRINCETON, NJ -- Despite the results of the 2008 presidential election, Americans, by a 2-to-1 margin, say their political views in recent years have become more conservative rather than more liberal, 39% to 18%, with 42% saying they have not changed. While independents and Democrats most often say their views haven't changed, more members of all three major partisan groups indicate that their views have shifted to the right rather than to the left.
And did you catch that last sentence at the top? "... more members of all three major partisan groups indicate that their views have shifted to the right rather than to the left".
Which makes one wonder about the major elements of Obama's agenda...and probably explains why he's moving so fast.
It probably explains why his plan for a government takeover of healthcare is losing momentum...and why an increasing number of Democrats in Congress are opposed to the idea.
It also might be related to some numbers we've seen in other recent polls. Such as the one showing Obama's favorable numbers are now below 50% in the swing state of Ohio for the first time. And over 60% of Americans say they are against a second stimulus, about which Obama and high ranking Democrats have been dropping hints for the last few weeks. read more »

I should be here for my upcoming pick so just shoot me a VM when I am up

I don't really care, which is why I haven't said anything until now, but it's kind of ****** that I got auto-selected in the draft when I never got a PM or VM that I was up.
McJoe will be taking over the Nashville Predators. Everything is back in order now and everything is fair game.

I'm taking over Smashville and blowing them up. Bring it on guys!!!

Weber, Rinne, Erat, Fisher, Legwand, Kostitsyn, Hornqvist, Radulov's rights, and pretty well everything else is available from Nashville. Blowing it up.
Still looking for a 1st-2nd line center. Still want to deal Schultz for really nothing.
In case you are waiting for me to respond, I have 17 notifications right now. I'll get to you lol.
Stars are skipped I assume so the Hurricanes select RW Brian Hart
Gonna re-post this more specifically.
Shea Weber - want what Scott Howson wants for Rick Nash but actually intend to get it and should actually get it. He's 26, locked up long term (8 years) at a reasonable rate (8 million) for a player of his skill level. He's arguably the best defenceman in the league and he has all the intangibles. With the picks all gone really, it changes what I will want in the deal but if you want Weber, be ready to pay up and possibly change your roster. He's a difference maker.
Looking for: 1 elite young player or prospect, 2 good young NHL players/NHL ready players, + more depending on bidding.
Brian Gionta+ available to contending team for a solid top 6 winger. Hit me up if interested
This isn't the ReDraft. You don't skip anyone, you wait until I make the auto pick.
Stars are auto selected Dylan Blujus, D.

Ike Turner Studio Productions – New Orleans & Los Angeles 1963 to 1965Various
CD (Item 603798) Ace (UK), Early 60s — Condition: New Copy
Stellar material that Ike Turner produced in just a couple years for Modern Records – in many cases, with Ike also given the songwriting credit – New Orleans & LA recordings from '63-'65! Ike was one incredible vessel of pure musical talent and ingenuity – overshadowed badly by that red hot hell of a public and private life. That's a shame for a number of reasons, but the work speaks for itself. What's most incredible here, is that other voices speak for their own immense talent as well as Ike's work behind the scenes. It's get great, rare material by Ike & Tina Revue & Kings Of Rhythm members and others. 27 tracks in all: "Darkest Hour", "I Smell Trouble", "Feel So Good" and more by Jimmy Thomas, "All In My Mind" by Tina Turner, "In Love" by Jackie Brenston & The Ikettes, "That's All Right" and "You're So Fine" by Vernon Guy, "Think" by Bobby John & The Ikettes, "Walking Down The Aisle" by Ike Turner & The Ikettes and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

War of words erupts at meeting
Bowden reportedly asked for and received legal advice on the issue from Jaimee Jones, LMUD's legal counsel, and Robert Burns, Lassen County's District Attorney.
Jones advised Bowden that all board actions must be taken in open sessions, but Burns reportedly advised Bowden he could change the appointment at his pleasure.
When the item came up for discussion and possible action, Bowden recommended the board wait until after a planned Brown Act training session on California's Open Meeting law before deciding the issue, but other board members wanted to discuss the issue.
Bowden called the Brown Act, "the crux of the problem."
In the end the board approved a motion allowing Bowden to make short-term ad hoc committee appointments in public session. The board will ratify the president's appointment of directors to standing committees by approving a motion to that effect.
The motion passed 4-1, with Dow casting the lone dissenting vote.
Director Fred Nagel provided some history and said committee assignments used to rotate among the members.
"That's what I'd like to see done," Nagel said.
The board members then discussed the difference between the district's ad hoc committees and its standing committees. Ad hoc committees meet for a short time to deal with specific issues and standing committees meet for longer periods of time to deal with more long-term issues.
Dow suggested the board could make its standing committee appointments at its annual organizational meeting.
Bowden said as president of the board, he had the authority to appoint ad hoc committee members under Roberts Rules of Order.
Jones acknowledged the board has used Roberts Rules of Order in the past, but she said the Municipal Utility Act requires the board to approve all its actions in public meetings.
"Any policy we set forth regarding the appointment or unappointment of ad hoc and standing committees must be compliant with the Brown Act," Dow said. "I'm not suggesting we won't be compliant with the Brown Act. What I'm saying is we know that. We don't need training to set this policy. We do need to address this policy in light of recent events. I think there is some uncertainty right now in the make up of our Invenergy ad hoc committee. I am not certain whether I'm on that committee or I'm not on that committee. I have been told two separate things, and we need to address this so it's clear."
"So you want to address it now?" Bowden asked.
"Please," Dow replied.
"Your attorney said we should address this in public session," Bowden said. "So I will tell you in public session, you are off of that committee, and I put Mr. Lavacot on it."
Dow said he still wanted the board to address the appointment issue.
"It is not acceptable to me to have a board president at will and at great personal bias and his own whim to change committee assignments," Dow said. "It's not beneficial to the district. It's not beneficial to the functioning of the committee or beneficial to how this board functions. We need clear guidelines. That is my feeling."
"I agree with that 100 percent," Bowden said, "but again we should wait until after the Brown Act training so we understand what all the ramifications are."
"I don't need Brown Act training to interject the thought that if we're going to do it that way, and there's not going to be input from the rest of the board asked on these issues," said Director Wayne Langston. "That's why you have a board, so you can try to bring all the points of view together. If the board's not going to be asked their thoughts or feelings behind this, then do we even show up? I've got other things to do. This is a five-member board, and I think it needs to be conducted like that."
"Yes, it does," Bowden said, "but nobody had any problem with me calling people and appointing them individually to these committees to start with, if you recall … All of you, including the board attorney, had no problem with suggesting that I consider who I wanted on different committees and call them individually and appoint them. If I have that responsibility to appoint them, then I also have the authority" to unappoint them.
Dow noted that Bowden made the appointments in open session while attending a board meeting by telephone from Florida.
"That's significantly different than how you changed this last committee," Dow said. "I have nothing else to say."
"If we're going to get down to brass tacks about how this is done," Jones said, "the MUDA requires all board actions be expressed by motion, resolution or ordinance. That makes it really easy. If you want to form committees or appoint committees it should be done by motion, resolution or ordinance, and that takes all the game playing out it."
"It doesn't take an action to adopt that policy then, since that's law," Nagel said.
Dow asked Jones if that made all the president's past board appointments invalid.
"Technically, they should be done by motion," Jones said. "All actions should be expressed by motion."
When Dow pressed Jones about the legality of the past appointments, the attorney said those appointments should stand since they followed the district's established practices.
"If it's going to become an issue, from now on we're going to have to adopt one (a policy on appointments)," Jones said.
Bowden again returned to citing Roberts Rules of Order to establish his authority to appoint committee members.
But Jones told the president, "We're not subject to Roberts Rules of Order."
"Oh, we're not?" Bowden responded. "That's news to me."
"The law trumps Roberts Rules of Order," Nagel said.
"I did check to see if you've ever adopted Roberts for meetings, and you haven't," Jones said.
"My wish is to get past this issue for the benefit of this district and the board," Dow said.
Bowden said he believed his past appointments were valid.
Dow said he only knew about this because of stories on the local radio station, but he asked Bowden why he asked the district attorney for legal advice on behalf of LMUD on this issue.
"That kind of concerns me a little bit," Dow said, "and I'd like to know what your thought process was."
"Well, it was pretty obvious the board attorney was representing you and not the board," Bowden said, "and I took it upon myself to consult with someone who is in a position to give advice … "
Langston gave Bowden a piece of his mind.
"I want to make a comment," Langston said. "It goes back to the previous discussion. I'm going to leave this very generic. I think there's some big concern to your adjustment of that committee. Since you did not ask for input, I'm not going to give it you now. But if it does come back as far as new conflicts of interest because of your new appointment, you stepped in it, and you can deal with it."
Dow continued his argument for adopting a clear policy for the board to follow.
"If we have board action every time we appoint a committee," Dow said, "we do take any personal issues out. It's a board action, and once it's done, it's done. There's no individual who can, for whatever reason, retaliation, whatever, because they don't like a board member, can remove him for no reason at all … That's my preference."
Jones said Luhring could call any two board members at any time he needed them to help with any need that arises.
But she said when the board forms a committee, it is taking an action and that is more formal. She said the board should vote and pass a motion. She also said the president is the president of the board to run the meetings and has no more authority than any other board member.

Sharks made to regret slow start
6 Aug 2012
JON CARDINELLI writes the Sharks will need to replicate the Chiefs' league phase consistency if they hope to be realistic title contenders in 2013.
The 15-team Super Rugby competition has proved to be far more arduous than it's 14-side predecessor, and after two seasons some trends have been made patently clear.
The Reds won the Super Rugby title in 2011 and the Chiefs won it in 2012. Both teams topped their respective conferences and both teams finished in the top two on the overall log. Both teams hosted tired opponents in the grand final, opponents that had traversed the Indian Ocean at least twice during the finals series.
Mark Keohane wrote on Friday that the competition format is flawed and that the Sharks should never be expected to beat the Chiefs after such a taxing travel schedule. Keohane argued that the format made a farce of the final concept, and that it would never produce a contest where two teams stood a chance of winning.
That the competition is flawed is plain to see. Should it change? Undoubtedly. Will it change? Not until 2016.
According to Sanzar CEO Greg Peters, the tournament will not expand until 2016 and the format will remain as is for another three seasons until a new broadcast deal is signed.
If a South African team hopes to win the Super Rugby title in the next three years, they will need to finish in the top two. Better yet, they will need to finish top of the league and put themselves into a position to host a grand final.
But there's more to the winning formula than that. The competition spans February to August, and it isn't enough that you top the league – you need to progress to the knockouts with the majority of your first-choice players still intact.
This is where the Stormers fell short in 2012. They managed to top the overall league but lost too many key players in the process. They went into that semi-final with a number of rookies and were even forced to play several players out of position in order to field a competitive team.
The Chiefs won 12 out of 16 during the regular season, and while they lost Richard Kahui early in the year, their forwards marched on to the final. It said much for their depth that Sam Cane, the man who is being tipped to succeed Richie McCaw as the All Blacks openside flank, was on the bench in the Hamilton decider.
On paper, there weren't too many differences between the Chiefs and Sharks after the league stage. They both had scored and conceded a similar amount of tries, and had both embraced a balanced approach. However, what allowed the Chiefs to finish four places ahead of the Sharks was the fact that they had secured two more wins than the Durban franchise.
The Sharks have finished the league in sixth position for the past two seasons, and while there may have been a lot of hype and emotion around their golden run towards the 2012 final, a team is always going to struggle to win the competition from that particular position.
What teams like the Sharks need to start doing is putting together some consistent performances, and maintaining their form throughout the season. If the Chiefs are capable of doing so, why not the Sharks?
The Sharks fell short of the title this year, but ultimately they left themselves with too much to do in the latter stages of the competition. They won just four of their first nine matches and this forced them to play catch-up in the second half of their campaign.
They will regret the loss to the Lions in Johannesburg, although it wasn't just one result that prevented them of finishing higher on the log. They were too loose at the start of their campaign, and were duly punished by the Bulls and Stormers. There were some spectacular wins such as the victory over the Reds in Durban, but they struggled to win more than two games on the trot.
The ugly win against the Highlanders was the turning point, and the Sharks managed to win six of their last seven league games. In some instances the manner of victory was emphatic (they scored four four-try bonus points during that period) and so there was good reason to believe they could go all the way.
But as the past two seasons have shown, the brand of rugby is not all decisive. The most consistent teams play themselves into a position to host a play-off and thus avoid the draining effects of travel. A more consistent display during the league will help the Sharks avoid this debilitation in future.

6 Aug 2012, 07:40 amPoint is! Sharks could not make it after they were behind since their negative tactics went out the window!
Easy playing negative when you are in front….ask any stormer supporter!
6 Aug 2012, 08:08 amHahahaha… Boom fzzzz POP!!!
Sharks have lost because they DID NOT DESERVE TO BE IN A FINAL!!!
6 Aug 2012, 08:16 am@Provvas-2: And they call the average Bulls supporter a suurgat. Provvas the sharks have a lot to be proud of and they deserved to be there.
We all knew it was only as a matter of time before the Stormers cardhouse was going to crumble. -
6 Aug 2012, 08:21 am@2….we bitchslapped you sideways when it counted troll, now get over it. Sharks are over Saturdays loss we lost to a better team BOOM !!!
6 Aug 2012, 08:29 am@Provvas-2: You know what is worse? Having a home semi and a rest and then blow it.
6 Aug 2012, 08:36 amcan't comprehend how the stormerchiefs can sit on a high horse and claim this as a "victory"? their team got sharksmashed only the week before, and worst was that it was a home semifinal. how embarrassing to lose a home semi when you finish in 1st place with a guaranteed home final! and the stormerchiefs have lost 3 home semis now! eina! sharks proved indisputably to be the best SA team this year! played 3 against the stormers, won 2! in other words stormers were sharksavaged TWICE in 2012! hehehehehehe!
6 Aug 2012, 08:45 amThis yet again reaffirms that the current format for Super rugby does not work, why give teams #5 and 6 a shot at playoff rugby when they have no chance to win the competition?
The sharks played great ruggas in the QF and SF but it was obviouse that they were no longer contenders after the first Chiefs try.
Funny how the most rested player played the worst rugby (Lambie).
Anyway, after the whistle went I kind of wondered why the sharks even bothered to try? All the ygot was two good wins and a thumping.
I blame the Stormers; they should've saved the sharks the trouble.
6 Aug 2012, 08:48 amSharks were not consistent through the season – so they ended up trying to compete in the final after an unprecedented travel schedule. Nobody's fault but their own.
What some sour grape Stormers fans seem to forget is there is a little thing called a semi to be won before you entitled to play in the final. Stormers topped the log but whereas the Chiefs managed to win their semi, Stormers again fell short in the final sprint.
6 Aug 2012, 08:50 am@BreakdownBoy-7: I pretty much agree – I think the playoffs is a waste of time and the top 4 should go through to the semi's. Don't think the result would have been any different this year if that was the case
6 Aug 2012, 09:09 am@BreakdownBoy-7: Even though its not a great system you must remember it was the same for all the teams, also surely your team having ended 1st should be whipping the team ending 6th? having gone through traveling of hell etc etc etc??
Mate the best team won the Super15 this year,rather admit that.
6 Aug 2012, 09:24 am@sharks_lover-10: It's not that they won, it's rather how they won. It was embarrasing for SA rugby, having three teams in the playoffs and then have the final be such a failure, why a failure, well I switched off the tv when it was 3-20, so I guess a large portion of TV viewers did the same, not good for the TV rights.
The chiefs deserved to win, the sharks were handicapped by the system.
6 Aug 2012, 09:38 amThe format certainly has to be changed after 2015. From next year they should in this format allow the teams that play in the final to have a rest week after the semi. Makes sense as probably one team will always be travelling from SA or NZ.
Sharks draw was tough to start with. To play Stormers and Bulls away from home was a tough ask. Both games were very close could have gone either way but that how it goes. If we had beaten the Lions and won against the Tahs we would have held a final at Kings Park. A pity we never got those wins. At least we made a storming charge to the final. The travel was a killer and really hope no team ever has to go through that again in the next 2 years until they change this format. Players will eventually leave and play their rugby in Europe. None will want to do this kind of travel.
6 Aug 2012, 10:01 amplay well enough in the league stages to EARN a home semi-final, WIN that semi-final and back yourself to go all out in the final – whether @ home or away – and win the title.
fortune favours the consistent in this comp!
how many times did we hear "it's still early days" "this and the other team still have to tour so they'll fumble too" "that team's bubble will POP too" "if that team loses to the other one we will surge up the log to claim top spot after our bye" "we had a kak draw and played away games 1st"
no more excuses.
6 Aug 2012, 10:26 amSo much for "crime-free NZ":
Chiefs coach robbed during Super rugby final: www . superxv.com/news/super15_rugby_news.asp?id=36087 -
6 Aug 2012, 11:47 amThe sharks were handicapped by their own inability to win during the pool stages. While they were certainly at a disadvantage, I don't think this was a forgone conclusion at all. If the Sharks had a better start and managed to put the Chiefs under pressure, they would have had good chance.
Also, if the Chiefs vs Sharks was a forgone conclusion, you would have expected the Stormers vs Sharks to be a forgone conclusion too, but we all know how that ended.
The stats are skewed since what it's really showing is that the team which does the best over the entire season is the same team which usually wins the finals. This shouldn't be shocking news to anyone.
6 Aug 2012, 12:13 pm@bokfan1-14: Must have been some sharks supporters in town
6 Aug 2012, 13:05 pmAs a Sharks supporter…
PLEASE SCRAP team #5 and #6 and also this 1 team from each country nonsense.
Over the whole season we beat the Stormers twice in 3 matches. Argument over. -
7 Aug 2012, 06:30 am1st round of Playoffs should be on Friday pms and SemiFs should follow Sat or Sunday pms the next week – the extra 24hrs of player recovery should be paramount over the tv schedule.
There should then be 2 weeks until the Final. Allows player preparation and injury recovery. And allows a huge increase in touring rugby fan numbers with the home venue allotting no less than 15% seat allocation, thereby better atmosphere and tourist-$ cash injection. Also encourages greater advertising/sponsor opportunities ala SuperBowl.

Well, the actor that was considering the role in Michael's project backed out without even saying how much money he wanted. We don't know why.
The good news is that our casting agent has suggested another creative approach to take to moving the project forward. It's another one of those things that I can't explain in detail because of the politics of the situation.
So on we go. As someone commented last time, this is life on the edge.
If nothing else, it keeps things interesting.

Yes, "interesting" is a good word for it.

oh sigh....well, in a world which keeps spinning the same day after day...it is good to know that these major setbacks we feel will somehow still be resolved. I wake every morning saying...this is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it...and that is simply it. Each day brings its own trials but also, the blessings. Who are we to say or even know why things happen as they do. But we will rejoice and be glad in God's perfect will. Amen? Amen...grin

dang. sorry that actor did that. would be nice if you knew why. can you ask him?
hoping all the details come together for this project and for you. - September 18, 2010 at 10:24 AM

I got my beautiful card Pagoda Columbine and it is even more beautiful in real-life- perfectly suitable for framing. I think some people don't realize that when they pay $5.00 (shipping added) for a card, they are actually getting a 5X7 print! I'm not sure if I can send it away. love it!!!!

Sorry to hear about the set back. But it will be worth the wait to get the right actor! Good luck.

God Did It (But I Don't Exactly Know How the World Was Created)
After we both exhaled some relieved laughter, I whispered, "I believe God created the world and holds it together. Just how he did that is up for debate, but whatever conclusions you come to about the earth's origins, God did it. Okay?"
A Survey of Clergy and Their Views on Origins
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.

Surprised by Jack, Part 4: Mere Evolution
In short, Lewis made it quite clear in his writings that he believed that there is no real conflict between mere evolution and mere Christianity.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 1
The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
Science and the Bible: The Framework View
Although the Framework View has existed for about ninety years, its attitude toward the Genesis "days" is similar to that held by Augustine. He taught that God created all things at once and told us about it in the pattern of six days, in order that we could understand it. The days themselves, however, were "unknowable" and not meant as a "literal" description of the passage of time.
Southern Baptist Voices: Essentialism and Evolution, Part 1
If what has been called an essence (Plato referred to these as Forms, and Augustine as Ideas in the mind of God or eternal reason) explains natural kinds, it is easy to see how this would logically lead to the idea of fixity of species.
America's View on Evolution and Creationism (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about science and faith in America. The graphic uses data from Gallup Research, The New York Times, and the Pew Research Center to show what Americans currently believe about the origins of humans.
Saturday Sermon: Gloriously Functional
Is Genesis 1 describing material creation or functional creation? Pastor Richard Dahlstrom of Bethany Community Church beautifully articulates the insights he has received through John Walton's book The Lost World of Genesis One and probes deep into the Biblical text with us.
Series: He Who Has Ears
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
Creation? Which Creation?
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
A Young Earth Creationist's Perspective
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Saturday Sermon: John Stott and Genesis 1
On July 27, 2011, renowned evangelical John Stott passed away at the age of 90. His work was an influential voice in conservative evangelicalism. In honor of Stott's work in promoting "balanced and thinking biblical faith", we feature an audio excerpt from Stott's address "Genesis 1: Called to Full Humanity".
Thomas Aquinas: Saint of Evolutionary Psychologists?
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
From the Dust: Evolutionary Creation
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In the Beginning, There Was Improvisation
Whereas beginnings are "secular, humanly produced and ceaselessly re-examined," origins are "divine, mythical and privileged."
Saturday Sermons: The First Word
Throughout the last 150 years or so, the interpretation of the creation account in Genesis 1 has been a point of contention within the Christian as well as the scientific community.

Chez N' Ham
Jason Statham movies usually aren't too complicated. Statham usually plays either a hitman (The Mechanic, Crank) or a mercenary (The Expendables, Killer Elite); a professional criminal (Revolver, The Italian Job) or a cop (Blitz, War). But in the upcoming action thriller Safe, Statham messes with tradition to play an ex-cop that's become a second-rate MMA fighter. Who saw that coming?
What hasn't changed, as evidenced in the first trailer for Safe, is all the things that audiences love about Statham movies: martial arts brawls, an overload of guns and gun loading, car chases and the requisite leap out of a window.
