So many ways to disagree
I was reading, well, skimming, http://www.nicaliving.com/node/20445 but realized little of it is about Nicaragua and most of it is about personal attitudes. I think there is a lot of good discussion there but I feel it better than I put my personal attitude here.
The thread is full of what appears to be different interpretations of Nicaragua. No surprise. If we sat down with my neighbor who has lived within 300 meters of my house for over 80 years and whose dad's house was less than 5 meters from my house, we will hear a very different story of Nicaragua than if we sat down with Daniel Ortega, Carlos Pellas or, well, any of a number of Nicaraguans who have lived under different conditions.
I have studied Nicaragua for 30 years and lived here for almost nine. I know a lot of things about Nicaragua but it is only a small sample of the picture. I can tell you something like "don't expect the Enitel customer service person to know what they are talking about" or "if the person in the bank says X, go back the following day and ask a different person the same question and you are likely to get a different answer" and be correct. What you do with that information is going to be what matters.
Some people will say "that's not right" and try to fix it. In general, they will become frustrated. Some will just accept it and go on with their life. Then there is the group that will try to make some sort of change. This post is for that group. The group that is willing to adjust their goals to fit Nicaragua and the frustration level they can deal with.
Here are some basic tips. They actually apply most anywhere but some people seem to think they should not apply in Nicaragua.
- If the word "fix" is in your idea, you are probably on the wrong track.
- For all so many reasons, short-term gain usually wins out over "a change for the better". Learn to work with it. (And if you think that only applies to Nicaragua, look at the Wall Street games in the US.)
- If you aren't here it is unlikely you have any clue what will and what won't work. This not only applies to individuals but to NGOs.
- All too often, this modified saying fits: "Give a hungry man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a hungry man to fish and you will have a hungry man who knows how to fish."
- Expect change to take generations, not months or years.
- 99% of the time, an example is better than a theory.
To take one discussion point from the other thread, let's talk about books. We can jabber about their availability, what would change if they were more available and such. We can come up with what we see as a fix and build a project around it. It might work. On the other hand, for a small personal investment we can make some books available to a few people and see what happens.
If your response is "that isn't what should have happened" you are probably on the wrong track. On the other hand, if you see what happened as a way for you to learn about Nicaragua, you have potential.
Good luck.

Nothing can replace the knowledge that experience brings to our lives. As you said for many that come to Nicaragua and are surprised or frustrated or amused and some upset for not getting the expected result, a change of attitude and or approach will do wonders. Coming to Nicaragua, should be appoached the same way as when you go to a swimming spot that you´ve never been to before. You ask those that are there already in the water, where the shallow and deep spots are and where the rocks are too, And sometimes before you dive head in first a little wading in the water could save you from a world of grief. By your words it seems that you´ve done your homework and know your way around the pond enough to enjoy a good swiim.
Good Advice. Reality
all too often intrudes into dreams of social change, leaving the "do-gooder" (and I use that term in the most positive sense, not as a denigration) frustrated and angry.
The day to day life for many Nicaraguans is an endless challenge to keep fed, clothed and adequately housed. You don't appreciate that until someone has scrambled to serve you a cup of coffee in their shanty. Then you begin to understand the common thread of humanity in all of us. But, humans need more than just existence - they need art, literature, beauty. The simple intervention of providing a child a book at the appropriate time might initiate a series of events that would change her life for the better.
The reality is, the book might wind up in the outhouse, used for a lesser (in your opinion) -- but still important purpose. You just have to accept that.
If you're frustrated and angry, you're doing it wrong.
If you're frustrated and angry because your help wasn't accepted, you're in danger of becoming Che Guevara yammering about the Revolution Means Love while shooting people. Or the Japanese raping Nanking because the Chinese weren't happy to be liberated. Or the US squad that murdered women and children in Vietnam.
What generally a middle class or upper middle class person means by "they need art, literature, beauty" is that "we need to impose our standards for art, literature, and beauty on those poor benighted people who read Harry Potter novels and listen to ." Jinotega has art, literature, and beauty.
There's a decent musical culture here -- when my friends and I were coming back from a hike, we passed a house where someone was playing Andean flute music (and not on a record player). Do they play Bach? Mheh, probably not. I happen to like Bach quite a lot, but if people like other things, fine. Perhaps pianos aren't the best instrument to own in the tropics.
The big debate where I used to teach was between the "Oh, the people have their own culture" vs. "The people need saving from this low brow crap." I think both sides of the debate are wrong. I like the Nicaraguan wackiness of mixing Andean flute music with American pop music and whatever else. Different arts fit into different cultures. Most people anywhere, however poor, have something in their lives that works for them. If they need to, they'll steal some gringa's saxophone.
Art? People here paint as much as people paint anywhere. People do rather interesting things with their back yard plantings, and one tiny house in Barrio German Pomares is rather intriguingly decorated. It's just that nothing is beige and tasteful by Harsh Anglo standards. They're probably more engaged in doing rather than consuming than many in the US. Guatemalan weavers are even more engaged in doing art rather than consuming industrial design (the weaving traditions were destroyed rather deliberately here).
Agricultural people and small business owners tend to play more music and make more art than factory workers or hotel staff -- some control over one's own time is rather critical for being able to do art rather than just consume it.
http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2003/06.05/24-lekuton.html is an example of someone who did rather amazing things coming from a very poor background. Obviously, the right things can happen and a child leaves poverty for a better life. Just as obviously, he's one educator going back to widen the base of educated Africans and this will take time.
If you get angry and bitter, the charity has been all about you.

Somebody Probably Gave Him
a book at some early point in his life, and it opened his eyes to a bigger world than he knew:
" . . . is an example of someone who did rather amazing things coming from a very poor background. Obviously, the right things can happen and a child leaves poverty for a better life. Just as obviously, he's one educator going back to widen the base of educated Africans and this will take time .. .
What's the difference between this guy and some little girl in Nicaragua? Give her a book and she might wind up at Brown (much more eclectic crowd, I've never been impressed with Harvard, especially after "Barry" went there).
" . . .If you get angry and bitter, the charity has been all about you . ." The charity is always mostly about you; frustration is part of life unless you have an endless supply of Xanax. So is anger, at the right time.>>>And now I find I can't bring my baby grand to the "tropics". I'm becoming more frustrated, angry, and bitter by the minute! It's NOT fair!
Um, the local mission school had a slot and his older brother
...refused to go. He went instead. I'm not sure he could read at that point.
What was the difference for that Masai boy was that he wanted to learn and the school was available. For a lot of the very poor here, up until the FSLN regained control, the poorest couldn't afford school.
The thing that's struck me, and perhaps others, is that when white people didn't get their way at Customs, your first assumption was that Nicaraguan Customs was stealing their stuff. Maybe you're projecting your dishonesty to Aduana when it wasn't the case. Twice. Do it a third time and I hope Aduana goes over your stuff with three sniffing dogs and a couple of their hardest assed and most honest agents and figures anything you're claiming as a gift is something you're going to sell because that would be the way I'd figure it.
Rebecca Brown
Going to school now and then
¨For a lot of the very poor here, up until the FSLN regained control, the poorest couldn´t afford school.¨Before, during the Sandinistas, and everything in between then and now with the Sandinistas again in power public schooling has always been free. Also there were always, and still are, people that are so poor that they can´t afford to send their kids to school because that kid is needed to work as soon as they can fend for themselves. If you don´t believe me go to the mercado and the fincas and you´ll see. Their parent¨s parents did it, and on and on. It´s a very old and disturbing cycle that the government of turn, as those governments before this one, doesn´t know or doesn´t want to fix. Let me say that during Somoza´s time, and this I know for I lived in Nicaragua during those times and I was raised by my very poor mom, one of the main reasons why then, as now, the poorest couldn´t and can afford to send their kids to school is because there aren´t enough jobs and those that have it their salary can barely put food on their table today as back then. Same disease and same worthless remedies. then as now. Nothing new under the Nicaraguan sun.
My understanding that fees were charged during the Neo-Liberal
...period. Don't know, wasn't there then, just read it. A finca owner I know says that half his work force signs for their wages with an X.
One of the reasons people don't try to improve their positions in some societies is that they run into some rather ruthless attacks if they challenge the local power elites. They know they can survive as their parents did and their grandparents did and have family support if they accept their lots in life. Moving away, to somewhere that values what you know rather than who your people are, is scary. Sometimes, they'll do this after military service (one of the factors that got my father off the farm, besides hating farming). And sometimes, the kid from the poor family does well enough to bring back enough that nobody can treat him badly because of his people.
The rich tend to assume the sort, the high and low of their society, is fair. I don't believe that it is completely fair and I believe it becomes more unfair over time. Fortunately, engineering and computer jobs depend far less on who your people are and more on what you can do. A bridge isn't going to hold up better because of who your grandfather was.
I've seen one of my street vendor's kids with a project for school, so maybe that's working out for them.
The Italians and French had similar peasant families up until the mid-20th centuries -- I don't think the situation is forever.

Our lorita in Jinotega
Don't know, wasn't there then, just read it.
Pure unadulterated F$LN mierda, spoon-fed to you by fellow travelers like NicaNet and Toni Solo.
Much like, within 6 months of taking office, the regime "eliminated" illiteracy. Or, after two years, reduced poverty by 50%.
Or any of 100s of other pieces of propaganda which you seem to take as gospel because it fits your $ucialist mindset.
Neither of which I've read, actually
What's even funnier is all the people who hate socialism passionately retiring to a country where the FSLN (not all socialist either) has been a major political force since 1979, in or out of power.

Hardest Assed And
honest ...aduana . .. agents.
I checked the list
for "honest aduana agent" but it wasn't there.
" your first assumption was that Nicaraguan Customs was stealing their stuff. . .." Let's take a survey; anyone assuming the sentence immediately preceding is probably true, please lift your right hand from your keyboard . . .OK, that's all but one.
And it wasn't just white people, I think a Nica posted about walking away from a $20 package after being hit with $60 duty. I'm SURE his abandoned package went directly into the incinerator.
Does Nicaragua HAVE three drug sniffing dogs? I'm not a druggie, so don't know what the point of the dogs would be, even if they exist.
Can these dogs sniff out seeds?
That was me.....
that left the package at Aduana. I would much rather let them steal a $7 dress for my little girl, a $2 bag of candy and 9 .25 cent 1/4´´ pvc fittings than pay another thief $60 in taxes. Although, you may be inclined to think I am Nica because of my handle Nicafish, I am not. I am an Aquaculturist that lives in Nicaragua hence the name.
Did you actually ask why the charges?
My experience with Aduana has been fine except for the one time when a package weighed more or less than the weight listed on the manifest. Correos in Jinotega told me that I could either go to Managua and not pay duty but show them the full purchase order, or we could read them the PO over the phone and I could pay US $124 for the package. This may have been a fine for B&H's mistake (and they'd sent me the wrong tracking order so this was B&H having a bad day, unusual for them). I figured that it was worth it to me to pay the $124 into the Correo/Aduana account than to go to Managua. I understood what the problem was and while that might be an over-reaction on Aduana's part to B&H's mistake, I can also understand their concern that something either had gone missing or had been added when the package was in the US. What I'd ordered was worth more than US $124. It was also my second shipment in less than six months, so that might have also played a factor.
I've brought in a number of things so far and that was the only somewhat problematic dealing with them (cameras apparently are duty-free -- and I've brought in another camera lenses and a smaller shipment of SD cards and cleaning gear since and only paid a handling fee of C$4 per package).
I'd consider someone asking me to pay cash in hand to expedite my shipment or overlook things to be corrupt.
I understand that people with significantly larger shipments have had trouble with Aduana, but I don't know anyone other than Al who has posted about this and nobody has given details. Other people appear to have gotten their household goods without any trouble.
Recently, I got something like fifteen cotton dishtowels, three packages of popcorn, four hummingbird feeders, and a finger puppet (now next door) for yet another C$4 in handling costs. My friend had listed everything she'd shipped, and Aduana did their own inventory.
I suspect that it's possible that some agents are corrupt, but I would, based on my other experiences, assume this guy wasn't representative.
Medrano Express -- things I _think_ I put in and didn't list disappeared, but Medrano Express may have been responsible there since Aduano holds things up if the list doesn't match the contents. Everything listed showed up. No duty needed to be paid as all items were household goods, books, and clothes. Books I mailed here -- no problem. Books other people mailed here -- no problem. Three B&H camera shipments -- only the one problem but I was given a choice of going to Managua to be able to pick it up no pago. Books and CDs from Amazon -- no problems, couple of shipments there. Hummingbird feeders and all the extras -- no problem and there wasn't even a tracking number associated with the shipment. I'm currently waiting for Season Three of White Collar from Amazon.
Maybe tomorrow I will have someone hold me up for US $60 for my DVD of White Collar, but I wouldn't call that a typical experience. and I'd be asking a friend to look into it for me.

Everyone who buys online must pay taxes. The Directorate General of Customs (DGA) decided in March of 2012 to suspend the tax exemption applied to orders below $ 500 because of the abuses being committed by some traders, according to the Chamber of Commerce of Nicaragua (Caconic).
Todo el que compre por internet debe pagar los impuestos correspondientes. La Dirección General de Servicios Aduaneros (DGA) decidió en marzo pasado suspender la exoneración fiscal que aplicaba a las compras menores a US$500 debido a los abusos que estaban cometiendo algunos comerciantes, según la Cámara de Comercio de Nicaragua (Caconic).

Some things appear to be duty-free
My Cameta order was in June and all I paid was the C$4 processing fee. Everything was declared properly.
Books have always been duty free. I'll find out about DVDs soon enough :).

text: A costly homestand opener for the Milwaukee Brewers as they lose 2-1 to the Cincinnati Reds and lose All-Star Centerfielder Carlos Gomez. In the 4th inning, Gomez ran down another long fly ball, crashing into the wall but this time it really hurt. He crashed into the padding but landed awkwardly on his knee. Initially called a knee sprain, Manager Ron Roenicke said it didn't look good. An MRI was taken last night and results are expected today. Khris Davis his a solo home run in the second inning for the early lead but the Reds tied the game in the 5th and went ahead in the 6th when Joey Votto launched a homer run off starter and loser Kyle Lohse (8-8). Lohse was charged with two runs on five hits in seven innings. Tony Cingrani got the win, allowing a run on four hits with 9 strikeouts in six and a third innings. Aroldis Champman recorded his 30th save. Tom Gorzelany will be on the mound in game two of the four game series Friday night. Pre-Game coverage begins at 6:35 PM on WTAQ.

We were looking for a terrific side dish for Thanksgiving and tried this. We loved it as well. This was my favocite side of all of them. I agree with Miss Georgia - we had to cook the shallots a bit longer to get them to carmelize. We also improvised and added a few pinches crumbled bacon to it for some extra texture, flavor and color. Everyone raved about this dish!Reply
MissGeorgia 25 Nov, 2007
I made this for Thanksgiving a couple years ago -- my family LOVED it and it's been asked for ever since! It's really easy to make, although I think it takes a little longer to caramelize the shallots -- perhaps I could be doing something better :)Reply

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU-Wheeler) - Thousands of Wisconsinites who buy health insurance on their own may soon have to buy more expensive and comprehensive coverage under Obama-care.
Wisconsin has about 180-thousand people who get coverage on their own, and not through another employer. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel says many will have a chance to renew their current policies for at least one more year -- but thousands no longer have that option.
W-P-S in Madison has started to send cancellation notices to around nine-thousand of its customers. The firm said they did not renew their existing policies early -- and they're not in plans which are grandfathered-and-exempt from the new quality requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
U-S Senate Republican Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has introduced a bill allowing Americans to keep current plans if they prefer. Johnson says he wants President Obama to keep his repeated promise that if Americans like their current health plans, they can keep them.

Cheap Printer Ink Cartridges...
Without Sacrificing Quality or Quantity
One Year, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Stop paying so much for your compatible ink cartridges!
What do you really know about remanufactured printer ink cartridges? Do you know how much money quality replacement
ink cartridges can save on your printer budget? The cost to replace your ink cartridges may be cheap, but the
quality is not. Each time you purchase a brand name (OEM) printer cartridge, you can easily pay double what you
should pay. I know this from several years of experience! Don't buy another replacement cartridge for your inkjet
printer until you've read this... Five minutes could immediately save you half of your printer budget!
Most people think that discount printer ink cartridges don't produce as good of quality print as the brand
name printer cartridges. However, I've learned that simply isn't true. For over twenty years I've been using high
quality discount ink cartridges, instead of brand name printer ink cartridges. The quality of print has been
consistently as good or better than the original printer cartridges.
Compatible printer ink cartridges are manufactured to the very same standards as your brand name inkjet
cartridges. A good reputable ink cartridge manufacturer will guarantee their cartridges to be as good or better
than the original ink cartridge... and they will stand behind their cartridges with a money back guarantee. So,
just because you get cheaper ink cartridges, don't be deceived. The quality of the print is outstanding.
Want to know something else that's very interesting about some of the major printer companies? They are also
selling you replacement or compatible printer ink cartridges. But that's not the point. The point is you're paying
full price from them. Check this out the next time you look at their package label. See if it says "manufactured
from new and recycled parts". Any more questions about quality?
Another myth about using remanufactured inkjet
cartridges is that you won't be able to print as many pages. In my experience I found that, in most cases,
I got more pages of printing using quality refill cartridges. You ask how is that possible? After extensive
researching of quality replacement cartridges, I found some interesting facts.
First, many of the brand name inkjet cartridges are not filled to full capacity. That's right, many fill the
cartridge with ink to as little as 50% of capacity. It's no wonder some studies have shown that the same cartridge
refilled to capacity can double the number of pages you print.
Second, the original equipment manufactures (OEM) do print the number of pages you can expect to print as part
of their printer cartridge specifications. They are upfront and honest when telling you how many pages you can
expect to print using their printer cartridges. It's what some companies don't say about full printer ink cartridge
capacity that is troublesome.
Third, many quality manufacturers (that make compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges), fill their cartridges
to capacity. Remember, these replacement cartridges are manufactured to the same specifications as the original ink
or toner printer cartridges. When this happens, you will get significantly more pages of print from the very same
size printer cartridge... as stated above, some studies have shown you get double the pages with some ink
When I finally figured out how much I was paying per page, I found out that I was saving from 50% to 75% on my
printer budget, depending on what type of inkjet or Deskjet printer I was using.
Finally, another myth many people believe is that using compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges will void
their warranty. Again, this is not true... in fact it is against the law. Many major printer companies spend
thousands of dollars a year to discourage you from even trying a generic printer ink cartridge. What traditionally
has happened, is that some the printer companies have adopted the marketing practices of the cell phone and razor
blade industries. They charge a low fee for the printer, but more than make it up with the ongoing cost of
purchasing their printer ink cartridges. Don't believe everything you are told until you've had a chance to prove
the facts for yourself.
When it's time for a cartridge refill, don't just run out and buy another brand name printer cartridge. If you
want to get the best deal on high quality ink cartridges, then do yourself a favor. Just try a compatible
replacement or remanufactured ink cartridge refill from a reputable online company. You will get cheap printer ink
and cartridges, but these printer ink cartridges will give you superior quality! Start cutting your printer budget
in half today when you purchase discount printer ink cartridges and toner.
A word of caution: It is very critical that you purchase your cheaper printer ink cartridges from reliable
online companies. Check out a few of these reputable online printer ink companies. You can easily look up your
exact printer cartridge. Then, compare their prices with what you have typically been paying.
But that's not all... You need to check the total cost of your purchase. Besides double checking the companies
cartridge guarantee, be sure to check the cost of shipping your order and how long it takes for your order to
arrive. Once you've done this you'll get the best deals on your printer ink cartridges refills.
For your convenience I have listed below two of the best companies I've personally dealt with over the years.
Check them out. Don't forget to use the guidelines provided on the Editors Choice page.
If you want to have a good experience, a solid warranty, quality service and superior printing, buy your next
printer ink cartridge from a reputable online company. I was certainly glad I did. I can't tell you how many
thousands of dollars I've saved over the past twenty years. You can do the same. I would never purchase anything
but a quality compatible printer ink

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) – A 4-year-old boy has been given a new chance at life.
Mohammed Al Maqtari was born deaf and almost mute.
In the country of Yemen, his family was told there was nothing that could be done for him. His father never gave up hope.
After coming to the U.S. on a Fulbright Scholarship to the University of Louisville's School of Medicine, Mohammed's father found help with Dr. Gadre.
He believed Mohammed was the perfect candidate for a Cochlear Implant.
The family wasn't able to afford the surgery, so Dr. Gadre pledged $5,000 of his own money and Mohammed's father raised $20,000 more through the help of social media.
Mohammed had the surgery and it has been a success. He can now hear and has began saying a few words.

LAS VEGAS -- A 4-year-old autistic boy has died after being injured in a two-alarm house fire at 7921 Wichita Court, which is near Warm Springs Road and the 215 beltway.
The Clark County Fire Department has identified the young boy as Maximiliano Rene Ibarra-Martinez. The boy's mother and sister were home at the time and were able to get out of the house safely.
Metro Police tell 8 News NOW that the child died from cardiac failure while being treated at University Medical Center.
According to the fire department, the fire was first reported at around 4:20 p.m. Tuesday. When firefighters arrived, smoke and flames could be seen from the northwest side of the house.
Neighbors were the first to answer the calls for help, when the house went up in flames.
Homeowner David Bennett lives behind the home that caught on fire, and he was one of the first to help.
Armed with a garden hose, Bennett and other neighbors banded together to try to save Maximiliano who was trapped inside.
"When we heard there was a child in the house, we took a board and hit the front door and it opened it up. We couldn't go in there," Bennett said. "When the mom came around, she stated she didn't know if the child was in the house or not, and she was pretty calm about it. So, it really freaked us out."
Thick smoke and huge flames were shooting from the home as neighbors tired to smash in the windows to rescue the child. They had no choice but to wait for firefighters to arrive.
When firefighters found the boy, he was unconscious and not breathing. Medical personnel rushed him to UMC, where he died a short time later.
It took responding crews about 10 minutes to put out the blaze. It was declared a two-alarm fire because of the reports that several people were trapped inside.
Metro Police said there were at least three children in the home when the fire started. Officers will work with fire investigators to determine the cause of the fire, which is standard procedure any time there is a deadly fire.
"We're going to take a look and see, first of all, was this accidental, or was it something that was intentional. Going into these investigations, we do keep an open mind," Metro Police Lt. Ray Staiber said.
Last year, there were two fatal fires in the Clark County Fire Department's jurisdiction. That was the lowest number of fire fatalities on record. In 2012, there were 13 fire-related fatalities.
The video of the home is courtesy of the Clark County Fire Department.

When alleged serial killer Salvatore Perrone entered Brooklyn Supreme Court Wednesday his hands were shackled, but his mouth was not.
Perrone, who is accused of shooting three shopkeepers in Brooklyn this year, said he has not been given access to the outside world, that his court-appointed lawyer was not his attorney, and that he has not been able to reach his personal attorney.
Judge Alan Marrus allowed Perrone to look for his sister in the courtroom. Perrone slowly scanned the audience, which was made up of a few police officers and the family of three men shot to death this summer. His sister was not in court.
The judge then ordered what is called a 730 exam, mental competency to stand trial, and checked off the box indicating the defendant was disruptive, confused and exhibiting bizarre behavior.
Perrone's court appointed attorney entered a not guilty plea for him even though Perrone repeatedly said he was not his attorney.
After his psychiatric exam, Perrone will be back in court.

Imagine Dragons explores an old conspiracy theory in the new video for "On Top of the World," the latest single from the band's debut album, Night Visions .
In the four-minute clip , the band portrays a group of eccentric astronauts who fake the first manned moon landing in 1969. The guys kiss their wives and families goodbye, then head to a sound stage where they film their supposed journey into space surrounded by a film crew and President Richard Nixon . The broadcast hits a snag when a group of female fans storm the sound stage to watch the guys perform "On Top of the World" on the moon, but since everyone in enjoying the performance, no one seems to care the fact their trip into space was a hoax.
"We had a good time shooting this video," says the group in a joint statement. "It was inspired by some of our favorite movies, bands, and directors. We've always been into conspiracy theories, so we thought we'd create one of our own."
Imagine Dragons is currently trekking across the U.S. promoting Night Visions . Visit ImagineDragonsMusic.com to view the full itinerary.

Alpine is in full swing preparing for another powder-filled winter; however, we can't help but to appreciate the unmatched scenic beauty that Tahoe has to offer during the summer months. As many of you know, the wildflower bloom this summer is beyond vibrant, with fragrant seas of purple, red, yellow, fuscia, white, and orange. Now is the time to view Mother Nature's very own fireworks display.
Thanks to a healthy snow pack which continues to melt in the high country, waterfalls offer fantastic opportunities to cool off during a long hike, as well as sublime havens for a day picnic or afternoon snooze.
Quick contest:
Have fun out there! Soak it up! The first reader to name this waterfall will win two 2011-2012 lift tickets to Alpine Meadows. Hint: it is near Lake Tahoe, but it is not at Alpine Meadows (you can get there from Alpine if you really want to, but there are other access points that offer a shorter commute).
To submit your answer, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to include your full name and mailing address, so that the tickets can be mailed to the winner. Alpine Meadows welcomes contest submissions until Wednesday, August 31, 9 a.m.
And the winner is… Dave Cassaro of Homewood, CA! Dave identified these falls as the Fontanillis Falls, which flow from Fontanillis Lake into Upper Velma Lake. Congrats, Dave!

With the NBA playoffs a week old, the Five-Man weave crew reflects on all the action from the first seven days of playoff basketball. The team discusses which players have impressed, which have disappointed and other storylines from the past week.
Which player has impressed you most so far during the playoffs?
Duane Watson: Paul George. Of course he's an All-Star now, but he has taken his game to a playoff level. Taking ownership of this Pacers team and doing everything - scoring, passing, rebounding, playing defense to win and making people wonder Danny (Granger) who? He's making it so that the match-up with the Heat can be just as interesting as last year.
Mitch Ward: Paul George. It's tough to argue against the NBA's Most Improved Player here. Leading the Pacers to a pair of victories over the Hawks, George has made it known that he is the best player in this series. With a triple-double in Game 1 followed by a 27 points, 8 rebounds, 4 steals effort in Game 2, George looks poised to take his place in the NBA's upper crust.
Tim Chisholm: Man am I glad I waited until Saturday to answer this because that way I got to see Steph Curry come out and demand people pay attention to him as a marquee NBA point guard again on Friday night. His big shot style of play is tailor made for the Playoffs and he's having his coming out party all over the Denver Nuggets.
Will Strickland: Easy Bake to choose the Usual Suspects: LeBron, CP3, Melo, Durant and Westbrook, but I'll go unsung here. Houston Rockets' 6'1" PG Patrick Beverley, who pitched in relief of an extremely shook and now-injured Jeremy Lin to frustrate Russy to the tune of 16 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists in his first NBA playoff start is my pick. Bevereley almost helped the 8th seed Rockets head home to Houston carrying a split with the Western Conference's top seed. If he keeps it up, I will be thoroughly impressed.
Josh Lewenberg: Paul George. Indiana's All-Star continues to evolve each time he takes to the court. The 22-year-old has impressed all season and continues to do so in the playoffs where he's carried the Pacers surprisingly effective offensive attack while setting the bar for their world-class defence. He helps you in every area of the game and hurts you in none, evident in his Game 1 triple-double performance. His transformation has been and continues to be remarkable… A true super star in the making.
Which player has been the most disappointing?
Watson: Kevin Garnett. He doesn't have it anymore. Offensively, defensively or even as an emotional leader, I was expecting to see a change once April came and nothing has happened. Jeff Green isn't ready yet and Paul Pierce can't do it on his own. It's unfortunate to see Father Time finally getting the better of the player once known affectionately as "Da Kid."
Ward: Dwight Howard. I was looking for Howard to step up and become the Alpha male for the Lakers in the Playoffs but he has just not done it. On paper, the numbers look fine (20 points and 12 rebounds), but fine isn't good enough in the playoffs. The Lakers needed him to dominate to have any chance against the Spurs but Howard just doesn't look like he has it in him. He continues to take dumb fouls, make bad decisions on double-teams and has failed to establish himself as the dominant post player in the series.
Chisholm: Brandon Jennings. The free-agent-to-be was under no pressure to win even a single game against the Heat, so he should have been loose and easy all series. Instead he's been ineffective, inefficient and has justified Milwaukee's decision to not extend him back in the fall.
Strickland: With no apologizes whatsoever to Deron Williams, Brandon Jennings and Dwight Howard, who just doesn't play smart at times and can ill-afford severe brain cramps as the Lakers fight for their playoff lives, I'd have to say D12's former AAU teammate Josh Smith. He inspires no passion in the Hawks, a team he's supposed to be leading, and looks like he cannot wait to be grossly overpaid July 1, 2013.
Lewenberg: Deron Williams and Joe Johnson. With all due respect to Brook Lopez, Brooklyn's lone All-Star, the Nets will only go as far as their guards can take them. The backcourt duo combined to shoot 57 per cent in the Nets' Game 1 win but struggled to the tune of 33 per cent in consecutive losses. Williams has been especially disappointing after turning around his season in the second half. The Bulls defence is not to be underestimated but surely Williams is too good to be neutralized by Kirk Hinrich. His success, along with Johnson's, will dictate the remainder of this series and the fate of the Nets.
What has been the biggest surprise from the first week of the playoffs?
Watson: The absurdly high scoring in some of the games. The playoffs are supposed to be about defence and change of tempo and halfcourt play, so the Warriors dropping 131 points is a bit of a misnomer. Run TMC shouldn't be walking through that door!
Ward: The strong play of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. I didn't think either of these guys were suppoesd to be healthy enough to play at such a high level yet. Parker is back to slicing his way into the paint, taking hits and falling to the floor like his old self and Manu is lighting it up off the bench. Yes, this has been against the Lakers awful perimeter defence, but still this type of play and healthiness from Parker and Ginobili coupled with the loss of Russell Westbrook in OKC bodes very well for the Spurs going forward.
Chisholm: That Chicago is able to so stay so competitive with Rose out and Noah playing on one foot. I mean seriously, I don't know what Tom Thibodeau spiked their water with but he could make millions selling it to the league's other 29 teams.
Strickland: Faith. The Golden State Warriors' belief in Mark Jackson was never more evident than in Game 2 vs Denver in the Mile High City. Without their lone All-Star, David Lee, the other guy who is playing like he'll never get snubbed for the All Star Game again, Steph Curry, went out and did work with his small ball backcourt mates Klay Thompson and Jarrett Jack. The Warriors proceeded to go all Don Nelson Run-TMC on the Nuggets in a place they just don't lose, The Pepsi Center, ringing up 131 points with no overtime. Amazing that a first-time, second year coach in Jackson took a team with four rookies, three of whom get burn, to the playoffs in the stacked Western Conference. Mama, There Goes That Man and his team!
Lewenberg: Even from his computer, over 1,300 miles away, Kobe Bryant has outshined and overshadowed his Lakers teammates. #LetMambaTweet
The loss of Russell Westbrook does what to the Thunder's title hopes?
Ward: It certainly doesn't help them, but I'm not ready to jump ship on the Thunder just yet. Kevin Durant is still the second best basketball player ON THE PLANET and I can see him going for 35 points a game for the remainder of the playoffs. Players like Serge Ibaka, Kevin Martin and Reggie Jackson will also need to step up but I still see this team coming out of the West. Beating the Heat was always going to be hard, now it's a little harder.
Strickland: The playoffs are not as fun without Russy, be it the curious choices in haberdashery or his manically athletic forays on the court. It's a bad break for OKC fans or people who just hate the LeBron James-led Miami Heat. If ever there was a time for All-NBA performer Kevin Durant to overcome being sick and tired of being second, the time is now.
Lewenberg: It hurts, without a doubt. Westbrook has never missed a game in his five-year NBA career (or in college/high school for that matter), so there's no telling how this Thunder team will respond without him. Although the Western Conference has certainly become more interesting with this devastating injury, you shouldn't count OKC out just yet. This is far from a two-man team. They're deep, balanced, well coached and feature a true super star in Kevin Durant. Although a return to the finals is within reach, despite expected encounters with the Clippers and Spurs, their title aspirations can be put to bed for the time being. They'll need all hands on deck to take out the Heat.
Should the Lakers just shut an injured Steve Nash down even if he wants to play Game 4?
Watson: Yes, he's had a rough season with numerous injuries and even if he turned in one of his MVP-like performances, it wouldn't be enough to beat the Spurs. He's getting older and despite how well he takes care of his body, he can't afford to have any lingering issues going into next year's make or break season. Intertwined with that is Steph Curry's ability to display that he is a prime-time playoff performer.
Ward: Yes. This series is all but over and there is no sense further aggravating Nash's laundry list of issues even if we wants to gut out one more game. Nash should swing an under the table deal with his old trainers in Phoenix and hope they can help rejuvenate his aching, aging body over the summer and turn the page on this nightmare of a season.
Chisholm: Yes! Please, for the love of all that is good in the world YES!
Strickland: These are Mike D'Antoni's Lakers aka "Mr. Ride 'Em Like Freakin' Secretariat" (Sorry, Jeremy Lin and Kobe)! It helps Steve Nash to craft a softer, more somber narrative to his very disappointing season if he stays on the court. I wouldn't fault him if he decided to retire now. Father Time is undefeated...
Lewenberg: If it's up to Nash he'll continue to battle – that's just who he is – but like Kobe, the mileage has finally caught up with him and his body appears to have shut down. It's difficult, even painful to watch as an understandably frustrated Nash hobbles about, struggling to do the things he used to master with relative ease. Ultimately the Lakers are short on options in the backcourt and Nash – a shell of his former, healthy self – is a better option than their alternatives (Chris Duhon, Darius Morris). If he can go he will but he shouldn't risk further damage to salvage an inevitably lost season.
Do you like the re-hire of Mike Brown in Cleveland?
Watson: I'm indifferent on it. I actually thought he would end up in Atlanta after they release Larry Drew, as Danny Ferry hired him in Cleveland. But Brown returning to Cleveland after being fired to "appease" LeBron James despite winning 61 games is asinine, particularly as they weren't sure if James was staying or not. We all know how that turned out.
Ward: Sure. Mike Brown is a good coach, especially on the defensive side of the ball and he should be a positive influence on the Cavaliers' young core. Perhaps more importantly, the decision to bring back Brown does not damage the prospect of a LeBron James return to Cleveland like some people would have you believe. And make no mistake, that is Cleveland's end game. Lebron's decision will have a lot more to do with how things change in Miami and what the Cavs do roster wise between now and the summer of 2014 than the re-hiring of Brown.
Chisholm: I'm unmoved. Brown has proven to be a strong regular season coach but his lack of creativity has held his team back in the Playoffs. A five-year deal is A LOT for a head coach, especially for a head coach of a young team, but if he can get those kids to play some defence they could be a scary opponent in the East.
Strickland: Recycling is good for the planet... except in Cleveland. If The #ComicSans Champ Dan Gilbert thought there was any chance of keeping Kyrie Irving on this team once his contract is done or luring LeBron James back to the Mistake On The Lake, that died the minute Chik Fil-A Mike signed the dotted. Hello, Lottery Forever!
Lewenberg: Dan Gilbert recently acknowledged his mistake in firing Brown. Prediction: The Cavs' owner is forced to make that same admission about the re-hire before Brown's new five-year deal is up. This will be a true test of Brown's worth as a coach. He'll have his work cut out for him with these young Cavs and their abysmal defence. LeBron's not walking through that door… or is he?

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A cold front is expected to bring freezing rain to north Mississippi late Thursday and into Friday with accumulations of up to one quarter of an inch in places.
Alan Gerard, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson, the accumulation of one quarter of an inch is expected north of Cleveland, with lighter amounts further south in the Delta.
Travel could be impacted as far south as Greenville by late Friday afternoon.
Gerard says there could be light icing on bridges and overpasses as far south as Yazoo City by Friday night, but the precipitation is expected to be ending by then.
More rain could develop Saturday afternoon and bring more ice to north Mississippi.
Central Mississippi could see heavy rain, but it's not expected to freeze.

AFT President Joins DREAMers, Immigrant Workers and Activists
For Kickoff of Harris County, Texas, Campaign for Citizenship
HOUSTON—American Federation of Teachers President and AFL-CIO Executive Committee member Randi Weingarten participated today in a Harris County, Texas, kickoff event and press conference as part of the AFL-CIO's Campaign for Citizenship in support of comprehensive immigration reform.
She was joined by Harris County AFL-CIO Council Secretary-Treasurer Richard Shaw, DREAM Act-eligible student Denise Ortiz, immigrant workers and activists, and community partners. The effort kicking off today will be punctuated by hundreds of planned meetings with members of Congress in both parties in Texas and across the nation.
"Commonsense, comprehensive and compassionate immigration reform is long overdue," said Weingarten. "Immigration is a priority issue for both the AFT and the AFL-CIO. Americans know that our strength has always been built on the simple notion that America is a place where many become one. The AFT, as the representative of those who teach and care for our next generation, is working to open the path to opportunity and the American dream for the next generation of immigrants and citizens."
Shaw said: "Working people are working people—it doesn't matter where they were born." He added that action is important in this critical moment in our economy. "We need comprehensive immigration reform—not just for immigrants' rights, but for the rights of all workers who are trying to make a decent living for their families. Only unscrupulous employers win when immigrant workers are denied a voice at work and other basic rights. The creation of a road map to citizenship is recognition that our failed immigration policies have failed all workers," he said.
# # # #
The AFT represents 1.5 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

Importance Of Timing
Kevin Brinkley
This brief comment does not have space for a detailed explanation of the mechanics of these events. In short, speculative traders simply overwhelmed hedgers when the price was bid up past its normal limits. What is more important is that we all understand that the impact of these events may be present in the industry for many years. While the immediate impact of last week's market behavior has severely affected the merchant community, producers will likely feel the consequences at some point:
• Skyrocketing futures prices have stretched many banks beyond their lending limits. If margins cannot be met through borrowed capital, merchants will be more likely to operate on a short-term outlook only.
• There is the real chance that liquidity may be reduced which will, in turn, reduce the number of market options.
• Producers will also likely see a change in the behavior of the basis as merchants may consider including a risk premium in their bids to offset the risk of futures. It has already manifested itself in the grain markets. A growing number of elevators are eliminating hedge-to-arrive contracts in favor of basis only fixed at delivery.
So how do cotton producers deal with this new environment? First, it is important to understand that the decoupling of cash and futures that occurred in cotton have also impacted other commodity markets such as grain. Therefore, simply moving to another crop will not solve the problem.
As long as there is a virtually unlimited supply of money from hedge funds and other speculative investors, the same risks will be present in the market. The cotton industry, the Commodity Trading Futures Commission (CFTC) and exchange companies such as ICE will be busy trying to ensure that the markets operate as intended – to transfer risk and discover prices.
More importantly, producers need to adapt their strategies for marketing their crops. This means that a producer must evaluate his available options and be willing to time his sales to maximize income in a given season.
For example, if forward pricing alternatives do not meet financial objectives, the producer will likely have to consider waiting for the spot market to increase prices through demand pressure.
Cotton is an amazingly resilient commodity. It can withstand punishing growing conditions and punishing market conditions and still generate returns. Diligent marketing practices will ensure that producers make the most of opportunities on the horizon.
Adapting To The New World
Cotton producers need to review all of the tools in their arsenal for dealing with changing, less-certain markets. Many of the best pricing opportunities may occur in the spot market as mills need to cover near-term needs. This may create windows where the basis strengthens, and the cotton in position is poised to take advantage of the opening.
Producers confronted with these kinds of circumstances should consider putting their cotton in the market as early as possible. Many of the biggest trading days are characterized by good early prices until the quantity demanded by the market is filled. Then the market cools down until the next demand event occurs.
The Seam's Cotton Trading system is the best way to take advantage of those times. Producers listing cotton on our system have complete control of their marketing decisions and can seize opportunities when they arise. In addition, The Seam's Live Monitor provides the most reliable price information in agriculture. It is easy, guaranteed and has more buyers than any other outlet.

New London — A tax auction of the Lighthouse Inn failed to elicit a single bid Thursday, leaving the City of New London as the new owner and keeping the future of the historic property in limbo.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said after the auction at City Hall that the city would make necessary repairs and then put the 4.2-acre property back on the market as soon as possible. He said the city would not require a minimum sale price such as the minimum tax auction price of $577,721.04, thus allowing more flexibility in attempts to find a buyer.
"Our primary concern now with the Lighthouse Inn is to do the necessary repairs and improvements to sell the inn as soon as possible to a responsible developer," Finizio said. "We'll be able to sell the property at any price."
Finizio said the inn currently has two small roof holes that must be patched up, and the grounds need some attention. He wouldn't estimate when the city might start marketing the property but noted that the Office of Development & Planning would be involved in the process, as would the firm Quinn & Hary Marketing, which was retained by the city just this month to handle public relations.
"If the building starts falling further into disrepair, finding an appropriate developer will not be possible," Finizio said.
He gave no estimate on repair costs, saying only that they would be minimal. Others have estimated that restoring the Lighthouse Inn to its previous grandeur would cost somewhere between $1 million and $1.5 million.
The auction — the third in the past four years for the Lighthouse Inn property — was overseen by State Marshal Joe Heap, who announced at the end of a two-hour auction of other city properties that were behind on tax payments that no bids had been received for the inn.
The Business Loan Center, which took over ownership of the historic inn after McGrath Hotels LLC defaulted on a mortgage, told the city earlier this month that it had decided to walk away from the property and let it be auctioned at a tax sale.
Officials said two or three potential buyers had shown interest in the property. But the $577,000 minimum bid and a requirement that buyers wait for six months to gain title — not to mention a separate tax bill owed on personal property at the Lighthouse Inn — apparently dissuaded bidders, officials said.
Finizio said it is possible that the 1902 inn's personal property — which includes some valuable antiques — could be included as part of any deal the city makes for the landmark as a whole. The property includes three buildings — about 32,000 square feet of space and 51 guest rooms.
In 2010, New Haven businessman Anthony Acri bought the inn at auction for $1.25 million. He reportedly toured the property again earlier this month, but he did not appear for the auction. Acri backed out of his original auction deal after break-ins at the inn resulted in the loss of some personal property.
Earlier this year, the Business Loan Center held an online auction of the property but no bid met a minimum price that the auctioneer declined to define.

U.S. Congressional Representative Bruce Braley was in Des Moines for the opening day of the state legislature Monday to renew his call to pass the End Radon in Schools Act.
The Act would require schools to perform radon testing and install mitigation systems if high levels of radon gas are found.
Braley believes that, because radon testing is often required when purchasing a home, there's no reason it shouldn't be done in schools. He noted that radon exposure is a leading cause of lung cancer.
"Those buildings that have unhealthy radon levels would be required to mitigate that level, and those schools would be awarded grant funds to conduct testing based upon testing already in place by the Environmental Protection Agency," Braley said.
Braley plans to introduce the End Radon in Schools Act as the first bill Tuesday, when the 113th United States Congress convenes in Washington, D.C.

The Columbia years
A strike by the American Federation of Musicians against the major record companies curtailed Sinatra's recording output during most of 194344. His solo recording career for Columbia Records began in earnest in November 1944, when he compensated for lost time by recording dozens of sides within a three-month period. Songs such as If You Are But a Dream, There's No You, I Fall in Love Too Easily, Nancy, and his theme song at that time, Put Your Dreams Away, are some of the first recordings in what would come to be known to fans as the Columbia era (194352). His chief arranger during these years was Axel Stordahl, who also left Dorsey in late 1942 to work exclusively with Sinatra. Stordahl's spare string arrangements on beautiful recordings such as You Go to My Head (1945), These Foolish Things (1945), and That Old Feeling (1947) defined the sound of Sinatra's Columbia years.
Sinatra's success continued unabated until about 1948. In later years, he speculated that his sudden drop in popularity was because of his reluctance to change styles and evolve musically. He also garnered a great deal of negative press throughout 194748. It was about this time that the public first read reports of his friendships with organized-crime figures, and newspaper accounts were published of Sinatra cavorting in Cuba with the likes of Lucky Luciano and Joe Fischetti, a prominent mob figure. There was also the widely reported incident, and resulting lawsuit, in which Sinatra punched gossip columnist Lee Mortimer, an action for which Sinatra received some vindication in later years when it was revealed that Mortimer had collaborated with the FBI to discredit Sinatra. Whatever the cause, Sinatra began a five-year period of professional decline and personal depression. Years of singing as many as 100 songs per day had taken its toll, and he lost his voice completely for several months in 1950 because of vocal-chord hemorrhaging. His divorce from first wife, Nancy, in 1951 and his subsequent stormy marriage to actress Ava Gardner further harmed his reputation. In addition, then-new Columbia Records president Mitch Miller cajoled Sinatra to record several banal novelty tunes that compromised his artistic credibility. In 1952 his Columbia recording contract came due and was not renewed, he was dropped by his talent agency, his network television show was canceled, and Sinatra was considered a has-been. Ironically, and despite Miller's demands, several of Sinatra's recordings from this period are now considered among his best, with shining examples such as Mad About You, Nevertheless, Birth of the Blues, and, especially, his 1951 recording of I'm a Fool to Want You.
