Darchinyan Wins Shootout, In Line for Rigondeaux
By Cliff Rold
Nearing the end of a career that may end with a trip to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, 37-year old former two-division champion Vic Darchinyan (39-5-1, 28 KO) of Vanadzor, Armenia, got a game challenge in what appeared a tune-up and scored his first knockout since 2009, dropping 29-year old Javier Gallo (18-7-1, 10 KO) of Bueno Park, California, three times in a wild second round before lowering the boom for a fourth round stoppage win Saturday night at the Uni-Trade Stadium in Laredo, Texas.
Darchinyan, making his second career start as a Jr. Featherweight after consecutive title fight losses to Anselmo Moreno and Shinsuke Yamanaka at Bantamweight, came into the bout a pound and a half over the division limit at 123 ½. Gallo weighed in at 123 ¼. The referee was Mark Calo-Oy.
The southpaw Darchinyan appeared in firm control behind his right jab early but late in the first it was Gallo seizing command with a buckling right hand. Darchinyan kept his balance and headed to the corner almost mad at himself.
He took his anger out on Gallo right away in round two. Bursting from the corner, Darchinyan let loose with an assault to drop Gallo for a count. Gallo rose, weathered a flurry, and started firing back. For his trouble, he ate a left hand and wound up on the seat of his trunks. Gallo popped up and nodded he could go on. The underdog absorbed a murderous left, and then a few more, before buying some space with a left hook off the ropes.
Darchinyan, fighting with no regard for defense, made the same mistake he had in the first and walked into a big shot from Gallo. His legs wobbly, it was Darchinyan playing the survivor as Gallo pushed for the dream come true upset. His chance slipped by and Darchinyan turned the tide once again with a left hand to drop Gallo as the bell sounded to end round two. Gallo again beat the count and went to the corner.
After paying a price for fighting with reckless abandon in the first two rounds, round three saw a slightly more technical Darchinyan on display. Bouncing on his toes, he still took Gallo's rights but was moving in and out and boxed well. Gallo kept his feet and Darchinyan won the round with room to spare.
Gallo wouldn't stay afoot much longer. Probing with his right hand extended, Darchinyan lined up a perfect left down the pipe and Gallo went down hard. Referee Calo-Oy didn't bother to count, halting the action at :26 of round four.
Darchinyan, a Flyweight titlist and World Jr. Bantamweight Champion, is currently rated #2 by the WBC, #7 by the IBF, and #1 by the WBO at 122 lbs. The current WBO titlist at 122 is lineal World Jr. Featherweight Champion Guillermo Rigondeaux.
In the televised opener, 22-year old two-time Mexican Olympian and fledgling professional Featherweight Oscar Valdez (4-0, 4 KO), 127 ¾, of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, stayed perfect with a first round stoppage of 25-year old Rocco Espinoza (4-7), 127 ½, of Las Vegas, Nevada.
The difference in class was evident from the first blow thrown. Valdez was too quick, and hit too hard, for Espinoza to do anything but hope to be awake for his check after the fight. To his credit, Espinoza tried hard but it didn't stop him from visiting the floor three times, first on a left to the body and then off a long right to the head. The last trip came on a single rifle shot of a left hook, referee Wilfredo Esperanto stepping in right away to halt the action at 2:58 of the opening frame.
The card was televised in the U.S. on UniMas as part of its "Solo Boxeo" series, promoted by Top Rank.

They should go after Terrazas, Vic has a good chance at that 3rd title, though it wouldn't be easy. But if they'd just as soon fight Rigo, why not? Vic always brings it. Who else would you wanna see Rigo…Comment by LA_2_Vegas on 05-12-2013
Vic won't give up but he's been getting rocked more often lately. He got stood up in this fight here, Gallo tried lol. Funny fight. IDK Rigo might be able to get the KO at this point. I could see…Comment by HeroBando on 05-12-2013
[QUOTE=Russian Crushin;13359431]Rigo didnt look good, he was hurt a few times[/QUOTE] You mean Vic? He was hurt in both rounds, fun fight.Comment by DannYankee on 05-12-2013
Rigo now knows what happens when you put yourself at the top of the ladder all thats left is down the ladder XD but Vic is about 4 steps down it.Comment by Cubanstyle on 05-12-2013
[QUOTE=PacIsBack;13359421]Darchinyan will need sprinter shoes against Rigo cause he would have to chase Rigo all night.[/QUOTE] ...and a whole bunch of bags of ice to put on his face just like Nonito did after the fight.Post a Comment - View More User Comments (41)

The best moment in Water for Elephants [4] has almost nothing to do with its stars. The strong suit of this melodrama is its sense of time and place, namely America in 1931.
The best moment in Water for Elephants [4] has almost nothing to do with its stars. The strong suit of this melodrama is its sense of time and place, namely America in 1931.
Diane Keaton's [6] greatest performance? I'd like to make the case that the role that most perfectly dovetails with her actorish sensibilities is that of J.C. Wiatt in 1987's Baby Boom [7].
Movies posters are iconic images that frequently make their way into popular consciousness right along with the movie itself. Can you guess the movie from the poster?
Kansas City native Robert Altman's [10] most publicized film from the '80s was Fool for Love [11] (1985), based on Sam Shepard's [12] Pulitzer-nominated off-Broadway hit.
Beginners [14], the second feature from writer/director and modern-day Renaissance man Mike Mills, is a bizarrely funny, sweet, sexy and quite moving movie about a depressed guy. Go figure.

Just curious.
I have two fee plans and have the plugin set up with approval before listing the ads. Both plans are for 31 days (one is free, the other one is $1).
So when I approve an ad the end date is set to Jan 01, 1970 - it does not keep the original date (e.g. Nov 03, 2012).
This makes the listings behave weird and ads are removed and I get emails about expiration although that shouldn't be sent until the end of October.
Is this a bug or have I missed something in the settings?

Environmental crews are cleaning up about 60 gallons of spilled diesel fuel near the Dan River in Halifax County.
A tractor trailer crashed on Highway 58 near Leggett's Bottom Wednesday evening. The truck was carrying paper products but about 60 gallons spilled from the truck's fuel tank, according to Halifax County Emergency Services.
Firefighters were able to contain most of the spill. Private environmental contractors will now remove the spilled fuel and contaminated soil. That process is expected to take a few days.

The comment-reply.js JavaScript is loaded as well as the CSS file that goes along with it, so I think its something in the comments.php that's not right. I've been searching through google and the forms respectively, but Have not been able to pin point a similar problem.

Mike Kelly on Technology
Proponent's Argument for voting Yes:
Opponent's Argument for voting No:
[Rep. Waxman, D-CA]: This bill will cripple National Public Radio, public radio stations, and programming that is vital to over 27 million Americans. We are now voting to deny the public access to one of our Nation's most credible sources of news coverage. This bill does not save a penny. This legislation does not serve any fiscal purpose, but it does serve an ugly ideological one. This legislation is not about reforming NPR. It is about punishing NPR. It is vindictive, it is mean-spirited, it is going to hit the smallest stations in rural areas particularly hard. Public radio is indispensable for access to news that's hard to get, especially where broadband service is limited.

Make cold-weather plant covers for starting seeds outside when it's still cold.
Many people start seeds early indoors to give their plants a head start, especially in places with a short growing season. I don't know about you, but I don't like having lots of little containers of dirt and water hanging around in the house – I prefer to start my seeds outside in the garden. However, some plants need those few extra weeks. Here's a way to plant seeds outside when it's still too cold, and reuse containers besides!

2 thoughts on "Necessity pg 1"
Is there a practical difference between "excuse" and "justification" defenses? For example, a justified act isn't punished at all, an excused act is punished less severely? Or is it just a theoretical distinction?
I suspect that it is just a theoretical distinction. The jury is only allowed to return a verdict of "guilty" or "not guilty" and sentencing is mostly at the judge's discretion. There are defenses that reduce the conviction from that of a relatively major charge to that of a relatively minor charge, there are defenses that, if successful, result in an acquittal. However, I don't think that there are any sentences that reduce the punishment while leaving the conviction unchanged.

Speaking with Dayle Takitimu of Te Whanau a Apanui, Element discussed the iwi's victory as Brazilian oil company Petrobras pulls out of the Raukumara Basin operation. The company was prospecting for oil off the East Cape in as much as 2500m of water, and has faced significant opposition from the iwi and Greenpeace.
How are you feeling?
It's been a bit of a mixture of emotions. But an emotional response at the announcement. There's been a lot of tears from those of us involved at the frontline of the campaign - the sheer, utter relief really. And, obviously, we're really excited and really happy and people want to go into celebration mode. But we know this is just one victory and we have a lot of other work to do in terms of the fossil fuel agenda and mining and drilling.
Why do you think they've pulled out?
Petrobras as a company has certainly had some well-publicised financial issues over the last wee while and in terms of those problems, they've been investigating their remote offshore exploration.
And, I would say, that, coupled with whatever they've seen as a result of 2d seismic surveys that they did. But the reality is, I'm sure, their economic situation has triggered it. But, hey, we'll take what we can get. We don't mind what pathway they've taken - the bottom life for us is that there won't be any drilling in the Raukumara basin and that's great.
How were you consulted about the initial prospecting process in the Raukumara basin?
We weren't. I think that's been we've made that pretty clear that we felt we were aggrieved for two reasons. One, because of the lack of process and engagement and two, obviously we were concerned, at a substantive level, about the dangers of deep sea drilling and what the permit would likely bring with it . But certainly in terms of the withdrawal of Petrobras we welcome that, and we welcome the opportunity for the government to sit back and reflect on how their processes can be improved.
Who else has been instrumental in the fight for victory?
Well, Greenpeace, obviously. We partnered with Greenpeace because we were clear it was an environmental issue and they've worked really closely with us. My first phone call was to Greenpeace to thank them for standing in solidarity with us... they've been with us every step.
When did you find out?
I just found out! I've been in meetings all morning and I was curious as to why I had a billion missed calls. It was either because Petrobras were going ahead, or pulling out and I had my fingers crossed it was the last one.
Where to now?
There's a group of us heading to the coast to the Powershift conference to talk about the movement away from deep sea oil and fossil fuels, towards a more sustainable way of living in harmony with the environment.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I contacted the company to advise them of the situation, and was advised by manager Brad to bring in the merchandise and they would hold it for me until I could pay, this was ridiculous I only needed a 4 day extension and was willing to make two payments---so this is what I did.
Some time later, I found out they process payments by phone so I took this option and it has worked well. However on this Tuesday, I wasn't able to make a payment due to the same problem listed above that I am trying to recover from I ended up having to buy a new car and needed to make my payment on a Tuesday, so I was going to do as I did previously and make 2 payments on 8/19. Now, that won't be necessary.
There seems to be a new Manager (Lucy) who took it upon herself to charge 2 payments to my checking account without my authorization. She admitted with my bank online that I did not authorize this payment--she states she was calling me all week, my payment was due on Tues, I explained to her my schedule as she states she was in her office nightly until 8:00 pm. I advised her I get home after a 10 hour shift and 3 hours of class at 9:30 pm.
She gave no apologies for her illegal act and states I could have called her, I advised her, of the previous info given to me and she stated she was the new manager. I asked how was I to know this, I can only pay if I have the funds. She even took it upon herself to charge 2 payments instead of one. I found that even more insulting. I had made a 1 week payment the week before and advised her of this.
I immediately asked all of my info to be cancelled. She states she would do that now, but made no offer to correct her illegal error or no apology for damaging my acct. it is now overdrawn, or will be when this payment posts.
I am absolutely appalled and advised her that this is NOWHERE in my contract that they can do this without my permission, it is written on the auth that I am to call first, and authorize payment (per their rules).
I went to pick up my acct info today and not nearly all of it is there. I have 4 receipts for payments I have been making by phone since Feb of this year. I have contacted my bank which is willing to help but am wondering what other recourse I can take, as this is not only wrong but illegal. Not one apology have I received, an offer of assitance, NOTHING.
I will be giving them back their merchandise and buying a new computer cash. I don't deserve this treatment and my account has never been more than week past due on the occasion back in March when I changed jobs and went from being paid weekly to being paid biweekly. No consideration for that was given. They know I did not vanish with their merchandise, but made no attempt to advise me they would steal from my acct.
I am angry and will do whatever I can to see that this does not happen to myself or anyone else.

Hi Dean, great plugin, but I am wondering why you doubled the thumbnail size in the last release
You used to have
add_image_size('photospace_responsive_thumbnails', $options['thumbnail_width'], $options['thumbnail_height'], $options['thumbnail_crop']);
and now have
add_image_size('photospace_responsive_thumbnails', $options['thumbnail_width'] * 2, $options['thumbnail_height'] * 2, $options['thumbnail_crop']);
At first I thought it was something I had done wrong, regenerated thumbnails etc. But it is code related.
I was wondering if there was a specific reason why?
Also, can you please change line 145 to
add_submenu_page( 'options-general.php', 'Photospace Responsive options', 'Photospace Responsive', 'edit_theme_options', basename(__FILE__), array('photospace_responsive_plugin_options', 'display'));
As for sites where for security reasons 'edit_theme' (your current capability) is turned off to disallow editing the php files, the menu option doesn't appear. I suggest edit_theme_options is a more appropriate capability.

This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/396,897 filed on Sep. 15, 1999, issued on Jun. 11, 2002 as U.S. Pat. No. 6,402,748, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/101,489 and 60/105,367 filed on Sep. 23, 1998 and Oct. 23, 1998, respectively, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein.
1. Technical Field
This disclosure relates generally to an electrosurgical device of the type having an actuator for alternating between a cauterizing and a cutting mode. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an electrosurgical device having an elastomeric seal for providing bio-contamination and dielectric protection by preventing fluids from entering the nose and actuator areas of the electrosurgical device.
2. Background of the Related Art
Electrosurgical devices suitable for use in surgical procedures such as cauterizing, cutting and similar procedures are well known. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,648,001; 3,801,766; 4,827,911; 4,827,927; 5,088,997; 5,217,457; and 5,244,462, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference, disclose such electrosurgical devices. Typically, these electrosurgical devices introduce RF cauterizing current, cutting current, or a blend thereof to a conductive blade inserted within a nose area of a longitudinal housing by means of a finger-operated switch actuating member disposed on the housing and electrically coupled to the electrode and a generator. Optionally, such devices include suction and irrigation capabilities. These features are typically controlled through control mechanisms contained within the electrosurgical device and are actuated with the actuating member or some other actuator disposed on the housing or on the generator.
In some procedures, the advancement of the blade into body tissue to perform a surgical procedure causes fluids and bio-materials to collect near the device adjacent the nose or actuator areas. These fluids and bio-materials may deposit on the control mechanisms and wires within the housing thereby making it difficult to sterilize and reuse the device. Additionally, conductive fluids can provide an undesirable conductive path from the electrode to the surgeon and other objects in the surgical site, if fluid enters the nose or actuator areas.
Accordingly, a need exists for an electrosurgical device where the main operating components and mechanisms are provided within a sealed environment to provide bio-contamination and dielectric protection. A need further exists for a method of manufacturing an electrosurgical device where the method provides at least one seal for the electrosurgical device. Another need which exists is for an electrosurgical device having a counting mechanism for indicating to an operator the number of times the device has been plugged into an electric generator. Still, a need exists for the counting mechanism to have a disable mechanism for preventing the electrosurgical device from being plugged into the electric generator after a predetermined amount of insertion and removal operations. A need also exists for a seal that can be easily applied to an electrosurgical device, is inexpensive, simple and reliable and which provides bio-contamination and dielectric protection by inhibiting the ingress of fluids and contaminants through the nose and actuator areas. A need further exists for a seal that provides bio-contamination and dielectric protection by inhibiting the ingress of fluids and contaminants through the nose and actuator areas.
In accordance with the present disclosure, an electrosurgical device is provided having at least one elastomeric seal capable of providing bio-contamination and dielectric protection by inhibiting the ingress of fluids and contaminants through the nose and actuator areas. The electrosurgical device is of the type used to perform cauterizing and cutting of body tissue by means of a finger-actuated switch actuating means. The elastomeric seal is manufactured from a thermoplastic elastomer or resin which is placed in liquid form within a mold. A housing partial-section having the main circuit components and mechanisms of the electrosurgical device is then placed within the mold. Once the elastomer cures, the elastomeric seal seals the components and mechanisms within the housing partial-section. The elastomeric seal defines a flexible first opening at a distal end of the electrosurgical device to accommodate varying diameters of electrodes or blades connected to the nose area of the electrosurgical device.
An actuator seal is also provided on the actuator area of the electrosurgical device to prevent fluids and contaminants from entering the electrosurgical device through the actuator area. Two buttons are insert molded within the actuator seal and are operatively associated with a self-cleaning switching mechanism within the housing partial-section to operate the electrosurgical device between a cutting and coagulating mode. The actuator seal is also manufactured from a thermoplastic elastomer or resin.
The preferred self-cleaning switching mechanism includes a switch contact plate having pair of movable contacts with contact faces. Each movable contact corresponds to a stationary contact positioned within a circuit mold. Each stationary contact has a contact face aligned with a respective contact face of the corresponding movable contact. As the actuator seal is depressed, contact faces of the movable and stationary contacts slide along each other to clean the contacts of, e.g., non-conductive corrosion and contaminants.
The electrosurgical device is further provided with a counting mechanism for counting the number of times the device is plugged into an electric generator. The counting mechanism is included at the proximal end of an electrical cord electrically connecting circuitry within the electrosurgical device and the electric generator.
Further, in accordance with the present disclosure, an elastomeric seal is disclosed which is manufactured separately from an electrosurgical device it is intended to seal. The seal defines a first opening at a distal end and a second opening at a proximal end for fitting the elastomeric seal over the electrosurgical device. An actuating member pocket is defined in proximity to the second opening for fitting the actuating member therein. The seal further includes a lip portion having an elastic wall circumferentially surrounding the first opening to accommodate varying diameters of electrodes.
In an alternate embodiment, an elastomeric seal is chemically adhered, if the seal is desired to be reusable, or mechanically attached, if the seal is desired to be disposable, to the nose area of an electrosurgical device to prevent fluids and bio-materials from entering the nose area and preventing establishment of a conductive path. It is contemplated that the seal can be friction fit to the nose area of the electrosurgical device as well. Preferably, the elastomeric seal includes a soft lip to permit electrodes and blades of varying diameters to be inserted and sealed.
A preferred embodiment is described herein with reference to the drawings, wherein:
An electrosurgical device having a seal formed integrally with the electrosurgical device and two embodiments of an elastomeric seal for a standard electrosurgical device will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding elements in each of the several views. A self-cleaning switching mechanism and a counting mechanism for the electrosurgical device having the seal formed integrally therewith are also described.
While the electrosurgical device having a seal formed integrally therewith and the two embodiments of the elastomeric seal of this disclosure are useful to provide bio-contamination and dielectric protection, particularly in arthroscopic procedures where there are large amounts of fluid at the surgical site, by preventing fluid from entering the nose and actuator areas of the electrosurgical device disclosed herein or other standard electrosurgical devices, other functions such as inhibiting contamination of the device or the devices the seals are fitted onto are also contemplated.
With reference to
Self-cleaning switching mechanism 14 includes a rocker switch 24 capable of operating device 10 between a cutting mode and a coagulating mode. Counting mechanism 16 is included at a proximal end of electrical cord 26 for counting the number of times device 10 is plugged into an electrical generator 28. Electrical cord 26 preferably includes a silicone extruded jacket having three polytetrafluoroethylene insulated conductors therein and is approximately 4.5 meters in length.

A distal portion of electrode 18 matingly engages metallic tube member 42 when electrode 18 is inserted within tubular member 32. Metallic tube member 42 also makes contact with a wire 44 embedded within molding 46 to energize metallic tube member 42 and in turn energize electrode 18 upon depression of rocker switch 24 as further described below.
Body portion 30 includes an actuating member pocket 48 for exposing rocker switch 24 as shown by
Elastomeric seal 12 is formed in and around housing partial-section 22 to seal the various components and the self-cleaning switching mechanism 14 within housing partial-section 22 and form device 10 as shown by
The formation of seal 12 entails introducing polypropylene within the bottom of body portion 30 of housing partial-section 22 to fill body portion 30 and add stiffness to electrosurgical device 10. Second, the polypropylene filled housing partial-section 22 is overmolded with a polypropylene-based thermoplastic elastomer to form the final outer shape of device 10 including a soft lip 54 (
In forming actuator seal 52, a pair of contact inserts 56 are positioned such that a contact insert 56 coincides with each end of actuating member pocket 48. Polypropylene is then added to form actuator seal 52 and to also insert mold inserts 56 within seal 52. One insert is colored yellow to designate the cutting mode and the other insert is colored blue to designate the coagulating mode. Preferably, the color yellow is used to identify the cutting insert and the color blue is used to identify the coagulating insert.
With reference to
As seen in
With reference to
Switch contact plate 65 further includes two rounded portions 76 capable of making contact with protrusions 64 of rocker arms 58. Rounded portions 76 flex downwards when rocker switch 24 is depressed to cause one of the two moving contacts 66 to contact its corresponding stationary contact 68 and create an electrical connection between wires 55, power bus 75, wire 44 and electric generator 28.
Counting mechanism 16 will now be described with reference to
Counting gear 94 includes a circular head 112 designed to matingly engage a second cylindrical member 114 on housing half-section 90 b. Circular head 112 includes an arrow 116 on a top surface 118 for pointing to a counting sequence 120 on housing half-section 90 a as counting gear 94 is rotated as further described below. Counting gear 94 also includes a gear wheel 122 underneath circular head 112. Spring-biased member 96 includes a cane-shaped member 124 and a spring 126. Spring 126 is designed to rest upon a section of bar member 128 when counting mechanism 16 is not plugged within electric generator 28.
Housing 90 further includes three openings 130 for placement of prongs 132 therein for creating an electrical connection between electric generator 28 and electrosurgical device 10. Another opening 134 is also included for placement of a tubular cord housing 136 housing a proximal end of electrical cord 26. Wires 55 extend from the proximal end of electrical cord 26 and are each electrically coupled to a corresponding prong 132 as shown by
When prongs 132 are plugged into electric generator 28, the distal end of cane-shaped member 124 contacts electric generator 28 and is forced proximally to push spring 126 against bar member 128 (
After a predetermined amount of insertion and removal operations of counting mechanism 16, a point identified as "X" on gear wheel 122 (
With reference now to
Elastomeric seal 150 includes an elongated body portion 162 having a first opening 164 at a distal end 166 to accommodate varying diameters of electrodes or blades connected to electrosurgical device 152. A second opening 168 is defined at a proximal end 170 for partially fitting elastomeric seal 150 over housing 158 of electrosurgical device 152 as shown in

COLUMBUS, Neb. — A World War II presentation grew to something much larger Tuesday when U.S. Rep. Jeff Fortenberry brought a special guest to Columbus.
The congressman invited military historian Timothy Kilvert-Jones to give a presentation on the D-Day landings and Battle of Normandy.
And Kilvert-Jones did just that, delivering an hour-long overview of the military campaign to about 60 people at the American Legion Hartman Post 84.
But it was the conversations that occurred before and after the presentation that could make Kilvert-Jones' visit a memorable one for local residents.
The retired major in the United Kingdom Army, who lives near the battlefield in Normandy, France, proposed a project that would place a replica of the Andrew Jackson Higgins Memorial on Utah Beach.
"I think it would be a wonderful statement for this community to know that one of your proud sons is remembered in Normandy in perpetuity," Kilvert-Jones said.
Higgins, a Columbus native, was referred to by then-Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as the man who won the war for the Allied Forces.
More than 1,000 of his LCVP landing craft, also known as Higgins boats, were used by the Allied Forces when they landed June 6, 1944, on the beaches of northern France to begin an 81-day campaign to liberate Paris from Nazi Germany.
Kilvert-Jones said Higgins "made a major contribution" to Operation Overlord, which put 176,000 Allied troops supported by thousands of ships, combat aircraft and other vehicles and artillery on the ground in the first 24 hours.
"This element of combat power that we were able to deliver into Normandy by coalition forces led by coalition generals, admirals and air commanders is quite extraordinary and something beyond our reach today," he said during his presentation.
Kilvert-Jones, who has stood in some of the original Higgins boats in Normandy, called it a "great honor" to be in Columbus and said visiting the Andrew Jackson Higgins Memorial here was "humbling and a privilege."
The former major called for a project that places a replica of the memorial on Utah Beach by the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in May 2015.
"Normandy needs it," he said while discussing the idea with Fortenberry and Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce President K.C. Belitz.
The three men and a few local residents involved with the memorial met at the Pawnee Park West site following the presentation to discuss a preliminary plan to make this happen.
Belitz was tasked with heading a coordinating committee to bring local resources together while Fortenberry works to get other national leaders onboard.
"This will be good," the congressman said while visiting the memorial, which includes a metal replica of a Higgins boat with statues of soldiers storming the beach.
Fortenberry, whose grandfather was killed in World War II, called the proposal a "dream" project, but also recognizes the city's efforts to honor Higgins, who was born here Aug. 28, 1886.
"Columbus has done a tremendous amount of heavy lifting," he said.
The memorial, which has been completely funded through donations and other private contributions, was started by Lt. Col. Jerry Meyer, a former Columbus High School teacher who pursued the idea as a student project.
It opened in 2001 and is overseen by a private group that raises money for upkeep and additions.
The Utah Beach Museum, which must OK the Higgins project before it can move forward, already features an original Higgins boat.

I get why you want to lose, but there is a problem with your thinking. You really think a Gruden or a Mike Vick is going to want to be here if we're coming off a 2-14 season. We're not Washington we can't write a blank check to get someone to come here.
You can make the case that say we finish strong and end up at 7-9 or 8-8 people will see the talent on our squad and say hey there's something there and I can make that team a contender.

Join us in welcoming Ms. Magazine to the blogosphere with their newly launched Ms.blog. The "No Comment" page to which I always immediately turn to when I pick up a fresh issue has also found a home on the blog. You can also read about marriage equality in D.C. and get the latest "Dispatches from Guyland" from Michael Kimmel (one of my sociology heroes). My favorite post currently up: Is Lady Gaga a Feminist or Isn't She?. Reminds me of a conversation I had with one my good friends a few months back on whether Lady Gaga was queer or not.

#15850 closed Bug (fixed)
Test runner fails when sites app not installed
|Reported by:

|Testing framework
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
I don't have 'sites' in INSTALLED_APPS, and Changeset [16028] seems to break the test runner.
Selected bits from the manage.py test traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last): ... File ".../django/db/backends/creation.py", line 256, in create_test_db if Site is not None and Site.objects.using(self.connection.alias).count() == 1: File ".../django/db/models/query.py", line 334, in count return self.query.get_count(using=self.db) File ".../django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 401, in get_count number = obj.get_aggregation(using=using)[None] File ".../django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 367, in get_aggregation result = query.get_compiler(using).execute_sql(SINGLE) File ".../django/db/models/sql/compiler.py", line 735, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File ".../django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 226, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) django.db.utils.DatabaseError: no such table: django_site
I'm wondering if Site = get_model('sites', 'Site') is really a good way to check if the sites is installed. Looks like as soon as the Sites model is declared it registers itself to be discovered by get_model?

This also needs to be fixed in 1.3.X. Backporting the fix for #15866 is not acceptable as a solution, because #15866 is not a regression and the fix is backwards-incompatible (albeit only to private internal API). I've proposed at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15573#comment:8 that the best answer would be to modify the fix for #15573 to check INSTALLED_APPS rather than the return value of get_model - but I'd prefer if someone with access to test on Oracle would make that change.

When Lawson was younger, clubfeet led to casts, braces and surgery. Now, thanks to the orthopedics team at Children's, his biggest worries are finishing his homework and getting to basketball practice on time.
Complete Story
Here at Children's Hospital & Medical Center, we know that families play a key role in the healing process of their child. We believe parents know their child best. Parents should have a way to tell us when they feel something isn't right with their child. When families and the medical team work together, the child gets the best care possible - and that's our top priority.
Condition Help is a patient safety program where parents can call a special phone number to have their child seen by a different medical team if their child's health could be in danger and needs prompt action. When the call is answered, a nurse will ask the parent for his or her name, the child's name, room number and the reason for the call.
Condition Help is a powerful tool for parents and should not be used casually. It should be used only if the parent has concerns about a child's condition - after he or she has spoken to the nurse, the child's doctor or another member of the child's medical team. To reach Condition Help, parents should dial Ext. 2633.

Hewlett Lecture
The Society for History in the Federal Government presents:
The Annual Richard G. Hewlett Lecture
and Reception
* * *
October 22, 2015
"Legacies of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965"
The WILSON CENTER
One Woodrow Wilson Plaza
1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20004-3027
This year's panel offered a penetrating discussion and exchange that brought out the major issues and developments in the passage of the historic 1965 Hart-Cellar Act. The wide-ranging discussion resulted in part from the diversity of the panelists, including an experienced journalist and author, an INS historian, a Congressional Research Service specialist, and a director for immigration policy at a DC advocacy group. Their deep experience and knowledge provided in-depth background and skilled evaluation of the historical record.
Here are ten major points that emerged from the discussion and the question-and-answer period.
Ten points from the Hewlett immigration panel
• Prior to the 1965 Hart-Cellar, there had been calls for family reunification as one basis for immigration
• Five laws between 1952 and 1965 chipped away at quotas
• Reform of the quota system was pursued by presidents from Truman to Johnson
• The racism inherent in acts from the Chinese Exclusion to the 1924 National Origins Act became far less tenable by 1965
• Immigration was changing despite the law. By the 1960s, the INS could not keep up with manpower or facilities to contain illegal immigration, which largely grew from the search for work in the United States.
• Contemporary mid-1960s civil rights movement lent ideological support to immigration reform, but also prompted racism
• Reform in 1965 had to bypass the old immigration basis that barred the indigent in place of the deserving
• Power over defining immigration was shifting from rural to urban areas that were more favorable to reform
• The INS was little consulted for the 1965 act, but it witnessed firsthand that family reunification was increasingly occurring through immigration
• The 1965 act's intentions for replacement of quotas by preferences for entry of family members had the unintended consequence of changing the primary source of immigration from Europe to Asia and Central America.
* * *
The Society's annual Richard G. Hewlett Lecture will be held at the Woodrow Wilson Center on Thursday, October 22. A meet and greet reception will begin at 6 p.m., followed by a roundtable discussion on the Immigration Act of 1965 at 7 p.m.
The roundtable will feature
• Tom Gjelten, Correspondent for Religion and Belief on the National Desk at NPR
• Marian L. Smith, former Chief Historian for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
• Ruth Wasem, currently a Kluge Fellow at the Library of Congress
• Phil Wolgin, Center for American Progress
Tom Gjelten covers issues of religion, faith, and belief for NPR News, drawing on his many years covering national and international news from posts in Washington and around the world. Since 1986, he has posted from Latin America and Central Europe. His reporting from Sarajevo from 1992 to 1994 was the basis for his book Sarajevo Daily: A City and Its Newspaper UnderSiege (HarperCollins). He is also the author of Professionalism in War Reporting: A Correspondent's View (Carnegie Corporation) and a contributor to Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know (W. W. Norton). His new book, A Nation of Nations: A Great American Immigration Story (Simon & Schuster), recounts the impact on America of the 1965 Immigration Act, which officially opened the country's doors to immigrants of color.
Marian L. Smith served as Chief Historian for the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) from 1988 to 2003, then its successor the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) from 2003 to 2014. Over those years she built a history program to both serve the federal agency and public researchers and increase access to official records. Her current work focuses on records and information management, particularly connecting 20th-century immigration records to 21st-century technology.
Ruth Ellen Wasem has been a domestic policy specialist at the Congressional Research Service, U.S. Library of Congress, for the past 25 years. She has researched and led seminars on immigration and social welfare policies, and congressional committees and offices have released many of her reports. She also leads CRS' interdisciplinary Immigration Team and coordinates various cross-cutting briefings for Congress. She has testified before Congress on asylum policy and trends, on human rights protections in immigration law, and on the push-pull forces on unauthorized migration. She is Adjunct Professor of Public Policy in the Washington Program of the University of Texas, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. Recent publications include Tackling Unemployment: The Legislative Dynamics of the Employment Act of 1946 (Upjohn Institute Press, 2013). Wasem won the 2014–2015 Kluge Staff Fellowship at the U.S. Library of Congress to research the history of the legislative drive to end race- and nationality-based immigration, which resulted in the Immigration Act of 1965.
Philip E. Wolgin is the Associate Director for the Immigration Policy team at American Progress. He directs research and publications on immigration and has helped lead the team's work on such issues as immigration reform, child refugees at the United States' southern border, border security, executive action, rebuttals to nativist claims about immigrants, and E-Verify. He has directed reports on varied subjects from studies on the daily lives of the undocumented through the "Documenting the Undocumented" series, to producing the first-of-its-kind analysis of the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. At American Progress, he has held the positions of Senior Policy Analyst and Policy Analyst, both on the Immigration team. Philip is active in local DC-area immigration and refugee causes and serves on the national board of directors of the refugee organization HIAS. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as International Migration Review and The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, as well as in online publications such as The Huffington Post.
