I got part of a programming degree before the bottom fell out of the tech industry and all of an AS in electrical design that cost me $60k in debt.
I got laid off 4 months ago. Because I refused to work 60+ hour weeks, I can't get my old managers to call me back. As a 5-year industry veteran with no industry references, I can't get hiring managers to call me back.
I've gone bankrupt to escape credit cards, but student loans are for life.
I have an ER bill I can't pay, an untreated skin condition I can't see anyone about, wisdom teeth coming in sideways I can't get corrected, and asthma I treat with coffee to save the inhaler for emergencies.
I live on unemployment in two spare bedrooms in my mother's double-wide.
I'm wiring books in the hopes of one day living on a skill I possess again.
And, if I'm very lucky I'll be able to get a job in the fall working on a janitor crew a friend manages.
Tragic story repeated too often to be shocking anymore. I truly feel for this fellow…

"The LEI continued to rise in August, although at a slower rate than in July," said Ataman Ozyildirim, economist at The Conference Board."The LEI's six-month growth trend has been held back slightly by lackluster contributions from housing permits and new orders for nondefense capital orders. Despite concerns about investment picking up, the economy should continue expanding at a moderate pace for the remainder of the year."

Absolutely delightful. This is such a great dip for summer. I thought it was very easy to make. Just do the first step the night before and throw everything else together the morning of the event and pop it back in the fridge, just so that it has time to rest and let all the flavors blend. The only issue I have with it is that is positively addictive!

By Saturday there will be two candidates who plan to run for mayor in 2014. Well, one and a half.
Muriel Bowser, who represents Ward 4 on the city council, is scheduled to announce her candidacy. Tommy Wells, Ward 6 council member, has launched an "exploratory committee" to test the waters. From all I can gather, Wells is in, so let's consider the field so far: Bowser, Wells and perhaps one more.
Don't expect an endorsement. It's way too early. But it's getting late. The Democratic primary is just more than a year away, in April 2014. For what it's worth, I like and admire both of these public servants. Each is committed but less nakedly ambitious than most politicians. Each shares the same potential flaw. So what are their prospects?
Mayor Vince Gray could complicate matters. In the midst of his first term, Gray is beginning to hint at his desire to run for a second. He could be floating a potential candidacy just to keep from becoming a lame duck. Gray has run the government well. The city's books are balanced, the population is increasing, the unemployment rate is lower. Homicides are down, as are lines at the DMV.
But Vince Gray is kidding himself if he thinks he can win a second term. U.S. Attorney Ron Machen is still deep into an investigation of Gray's 2010 mayoral campaign. Machen discovered an off-the-books "shadow campaign" that raised upwards of $650,000. Three of Gray's trusted aides have pleaded guilty to federal crimes. Gray's approval ratings are in the tank. There's as much chatter about Gray getting cuffed as there is about him getting re-elected.
Both Ward 2 council member Jack Evans and at-large member David Catania would make attractive candidates, but neither has made a move. Absent a "surprise" candidate from beyond the current crop, we have Bowser and Wells.
Bowser is a true, hometown candidate. Flanked by her parents and brother, she's scheduled to announce her bid Saturday from the Ward 5 home where she grew up. She now represents Ward 4, which Adrian Fenty used to launch his mayoral run. Bowser becomes the repository for voters who supported Fenty's failed re-election and those feeling guilty because they voted for Gray. She can run as ethically clean, since new ethics laws came through her committee.
Wells is even more pure on the ethical side. His ward encompasses the diverse community of Capitol Hill. He's put in years on the school board and city council, so Wells wins on experience. But his candidacy -- "building a livable walkable D.C." -- is too narrow in its appeal.
Bowser has proven she can attract white voters. Can Wells appeal to African-Americans in a city that has never elected a white mayor?
Their shared flaw: Both Bowser and Wells come off as too nice. I have never seen either show the grit or anger that might strike fear into a colleague, a bureaucrat, an opponent. To govern well, one must be able to engender fear.
Perhaps we will see that side on the campaign trail.

Christmas Day is often the last day of the year when movies are released -- and, in this case, it's a day for a very good movie.
Before that, though, are three new movies opening Friday -- and two of them are pretty good.
"We Bought a Zoo" is writer-director Cameron Crowe's return to form (after misfiring with "Vanilla Sky" and "Elizabethtown"). He directs a sweet, whimsical story (based on true events) of Benjamin Mee (Matt Damon), a widower who decides to move his family to the country -- and the house they find turns out to be attached to a rundown zoo, so he gamely takes over operating it. The supporting cast includes Thomas Haden Church as Mee's doubting brother, Scarlett Johansson as a dedicated zookeeper and Elle Fanning as her country-girl cousin.
The other two movies opening Friday are French. One is "Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life," an eye-opening and occasionally surrealistic biopic of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, who was as legendary for his music as he was for his bedroom conquests -- including Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin. Actor Eric Elmosnino plays Gainsbourg with a rakish charm and a brooding dark side.
Also opening Friday is "The Women on the 6th Floor," a comedy that starts promising but never delivers. It stars Fabrice Luchini as a Parisian businessman, circa 1962, who starts noticing the conditions for the Spanish maids who live upstairs in his apartment building.
OK, now for the main Christmas Day opening: Steven Spielberg's "War Horse." (The review will be posted online later Friday.) It's a stately, old-fashioned epic built around the simple story of a teen, Albie (Jeremy Irvine), and his horse. What's not so simple is the setting: England, just before the start of World War I. The story follows the horse, Joey, as he is taken into that war. Joey experiences many episodes — some harrowing, others uplifting — and so does Albie. Spielberg's craftsmanship is on full display, and some of the scenes are astonishingly beautiful.Next Page >

When Scott Meaker first started in the funeral business as a college student, he was a bit taken aback at the tactics some funeral homes used to sell services to clients.
He said he was particularly bothered by the practice of upselling, which meant encouraging clients to buy the most expensive casket or top of the line service. Determined to engage in fair practice, Meaker and two business partners recently opened Safe Harbor Funeral Service in Blaine.
Meaker, who lives in Blaine, said the goal behind Safe Harbor Funeral Service is to provide fairly priced funeral services for clients. Unlike most brick-and-mortar funeral homes, Meaker said Safe Harbor's facilities do not include a chapel, which cuts down on cost to the client.
Safe Harbor has embalming facilities at their location on Peace Portal Drive, so the body of a client's loved one is always in Safe Harbor's care. Meaker and his partners decided on this route because transporting a body for embalming outside of the care of the actual funeral director can often be distasteful to family members.
"We handle all of that in-house," Meaker said. "We don't [subcontract] any of it."
Safe Harbor also aims to achieve fairness in their prices and offers a complete funeral, including pick up, casket and funeral service, for $2,950. The average cost of a funeral today is close to $6,000, with most funeral homes charging between $3,000 and $15,000 for a casket alone.
"Our approach is offering full services without the upsell," said Charles Usery, who, along with Meaker and Jason Linde, are the owners of Safe Harbor Funeral Service.
The Safe Harbor funeral facilities are in Blaine, but the company services all of Whatcom County. They also have offices in Ferndale and Bellingham.

Cassandra at Scandit
We use Cassandra in two ways: First, it holds our product database. Second, we use it to store and analyze the scans generated by the apps that integrate the Barcode Scanner SDK. We call this Scanalytics.
Scanalytics is a web-based analytics platform that lets app developers see what happens in their app: What kind of products do their users scan? Groceries, electronics, cosmetics, etc.? Where do they scan? At home? In the retail store? And so on. All that goes into Cassandra.
The Product database has 25 million records, so you could probably do it with any database. But I'd be interested to learn how data is modeled in Scanalytics.

Angel Cabrera entered the final round in second place thanks to a pair or 68's on over the first two days and a 64 on Saturday that placed him in second place. Playing in the final group Sunday, the big hitting Argentine made three birdies on the front nine to vault up the leaderboard.
On the backside, Cabrera birdied 11 and 12 to take a one shot lead. Now on the 492-yard par four 13th, Cabrera unleashed a 308-yard drive right down the middle. From there Cabrera launched an 8 iron from 176 that found the bottom of the cup for an eagle two. Cabrera cruised to the finish line from there, carding a final round 6-under par 64 that gave Cabrera a two stroke victory at the Greenbrier Classic.
Cabrera relied on FJ ICON and StaSof en route to the victory.
Adding to his two major triumphs, this is Cabrera's third PGA Tour victory.

Fabrizio Zanotti survived a four man FJ playoff to capture the BMW International Open at Golf Club Gut Lärchenhof.As regulation play ended four players sat at 19-under par for the first 72 holes. Zanotti, who fired a final round 7-under par 65, faced off against Gregory Havret (DryJoys Casual), Rafael Cabrera Bello, world number two Henrik Stenson.
Each player split with par on the first sudden death hole. On the following hole Stenson (FJ ICON and Pure Touch Limited), Cabera Bello (D.N.A.), and Zanotti split with birdies. They followed suit the third time around by each birdieing again. On the fourth playoff hole Cabrera Bello's tee shot found the water and Zanotti and Stenson split with pars. Now playing the fifth playoff hole Stenson's tee shot found the water, he then pitched into a bunker and promptly conceded the victory to the 31 year old Paraguayan.
This week the FJ Apparel team was on location in Wisconsin with Steve Stricker shooting new layering images for an upcoming campaign.
Here are some behind the scenes shots of the action.
Kevin Streelman began the day four strokes back of the 54-hole lead and his front nine one over par total left him even further behind than when he started.
On the back nine Streelman put on a clinic, making seven straight birdies on the closing seven holes to streak to the top of the leaderboard and take a one stroke clubhouse lead. With a few groups behind him, Streelman would have to wait for his playing competitors to finish their rounds to see if his 15-under par total would hold up. No one could match, giving Streelman the victory.
Streelman relied on FJ Sport and SciFlex en route to the victory.
Streelman's seven straight birdies is now the PGA Tour record for consecutive closing birdies by a winner.

I have bronchitis. Thanks to the ACA, I was able to get medicine for $0. #ThanksObama
Last Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services announced that they would be informing the State of Texas that the state would lose basic health and family planning services funding from Medicaid because it is in violation of federal law. The state wrote Planned Parenthood out of the state's Women's Health Program, a Medicaid-waiver program. As of today, Texas has been officially informed that the funding is lost, via this letter from HHS official Cindy Mann, director of the Center for Medicaid and State Operations (CMSO)…
An HHS official told reporters today:"Medicaid law is very clear; a state may not restrict patients" choice of providers of services like mammograms and other cancer screenings, if those providers are qualified to deliver care covered by Medicaid. Patients, not state government officials, should be able to choose the doctors and other health care providers that are best for them and their families. In 2005, Texas requested this same authority to restrict patients' choices, and the Bush Administration did not grant it to them either."
The war on women's health just resulted in 130,000 casualties in Texas.
Yep. This guy, who STILL jokes about his inability to count to three, thinks he knows best for Texas women.
You know, I was thinking about Texas for law school…
(Source: cognitivedissonance)
The study's author, Suzanne Mettler, a Cornell professor of American Institutions, attempted to explain the difficulties the Obama Administration faced in trying to reframe the debate about the effect of government social spending on the economy and on the quality of life of all Americans. [Read the study: The Submerged State]
Mettler argues that most of the effects of social spending are hidden, which she calls the "submerged state."
To illustrate the difficulty President Obama would have - and is having - in surfacing the submerged state so that we can have a rational discussion about it, she included the results of a 2008 government study asking recipients of government social spending if they had ever used a government social program.
The results are an indictment of American civic literacy.
To wit, 44 percent of Social Security recipients, 41 percent of military veterans, 43 percent of unemployment recipients, 40 percent of Medicare recipients, 43 percent of college Pell Grant recipients and 27 percent of welfare recipients all said they had never used a government social program.
But those programs are not the submerged state, as Mettler describes, instead they were included to illustrate that even obvious government programs are not so obvious to their millions of beneficiaries.
Her main point had to do with other, hidden forms of government spending, such as the home mortgage interest tax deduction. Six out of every 10 respondents to the survey didn't recognize the deduction as government social spending.
I'd like to see how many people acknowledge corporations benefit from government spending that's affecting the social programs Americans benefit from every single day. Let's see how those numbers stack up.
It's as disgusting as you think. All emphasis from the source:
– "Is the White House out of their mind? Does the West Wing not know what the left wing is doing? We're $14 trillion in debt and now we're going to cover birth control, breast pumps, counseling for abuse? Are we going to do pedicures and manicures as well?
– "Why in the world would you encourage your daughters, and your granddaughters, and whoever else comes behind you to have unrestricted, unlimited sex anytime, anywhere and that, somehow if you prevent pregnancy, that somehow you've helped them. I would submit to you that uncontrolled sexual behavior is what is harming our girls, not our lack of birth control — which by the way they don't seem interested in taking anyway. Having a baby is not the worst thing. I think having multiple sex partners without any kind of restraint or responsibility is much more damning, why would you support that?"
– "In Red China, they have this down to a science. The local health care centers make women come in every month to be examined to see if they've had their cycle to make sure they are taking their medication and if they have a baby they are roundly punished, if they have an extra baby that baby is aborted. That is the control we're moving toward.
– "I'd like to say that the morning-after pill has other detrimental affects. In Great Britain where it was legalized first, there was an outbreak of older men taking young girls in for the morning-after pill so they wouldn't get caught and so there are no consequences."
Ahem - I'd like to see a citation for all of these claims. Further, having a baby is a big deal. The risk of complications in pregnancy for low-income women is much higher. Period. And we're not covering anything - it's private insurance companies - unless you account for nearly two-thirds of all unintended pregnancies ultimately wind up covered by public insurance plans such as Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Plus, having a baby is much more expensive than covering birth control. I'm going to use myself as an illustration. When I began taking the pill, I received it for $20 a month. Multiply that over 12 months, and that's $240. For 18 years of birth control, that would be $4,320.
According to Kaiser Health News, the average routine delivery costs Medicaid $2,500. That's just the delivery. The actual cost of a hospital stay, with routine non-surgical delivery is $6,000-$8,000.
After that, a child just continues to cost money:
These numbers from the USDA assume a two-parent family. Single parents can expect to spend roughly $180,000-$200,000. If you're not financially stable, odds are the taxpayers will be helping out. In the long run, folks, it's cheaper for insurance companies to cover my birth control versus you as taxpayers paying for the children that result from millions of unintended pregnancies a year. Several studies have pegged that cost as $11 billion a year.
Self-proclaimed "expert" Sandy Rios has expertise in little more than slut-shaming and conjecture. Birth control is a responsible decision should one become sexually active. Dare I call it a fiscally conservative one?

What is familial adenomatous polyposis?
Classic familial adenomatous polyposis (called FAP or classic FAP) is a genetic condition. It is diagnosed when a person develops more than 100 adenomatous colon polyps. An adenomatous polyp is an area where normal cells that line the inside of a person's colon begin to make mucous and form a mass on the inside of the intestinal tract. The average age for polyps to develop in people with FAP is in the mid-teens. More than 95% of people with FAP will have multiple colon polyps by age 35. If FAP is not recognized and treated, there is almost a 100% chance that a person will develop colorectal cancer. The risk of colon cancer is 87% by age 45.
There is also an increased chance of developing cancer in the stomach and/or small intestines. Other types of cancer found in families with FAP include hepatoblastoma, which is a type of liver cancer seen in young children; papillary thyroid cancer; pancreatic, adrenal, and bile duct cancers; and a low risk of a type of brain cancer called medulloblastoma.
Not all symptoms of FAP are cancer-related. Some additional features of FAP may include:
- Osteomas, which are noncancerous bony growths, usually found on the jaw
- Extra, missing, or unerupted teeth
- Congenital (present at birth) hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE), an eye condition that does not affect vision but can be seen by looking at the retina using a special instrument called an ophthalmoscope.
- Benign skin changes, meaning noncancerous, such as epidermoid cysts and fibromas
- Desmoid tumors, which are noncancerous fibrous tumors that can develop anywhere in the body
- Adrenal masses
There are three subtypes of classic FAP called attenuated FAP (AFAP), Gardner syndrome, and Turcot syndrome. This section addresses classic FAP.
What causes FAP?
FAP is passed from generation to generation in a family. The APC gene is linked to FAP; APC stands for adenomatous polyposis coli. A mutation (alteration) in the APC gene gives a person an increased lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer or other cancers of the digestive tract.
How is FAP inherited?
Normally, every cell has two copies of each gene: one inherited from the mother and one inherited from the father. FAP follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. In autosomal dominant inheritance, a mutation happens in only one copy of the gene. This means that a parent with a gene mutation may pass along a copy of their normal gene or a copy of the gene with the mutation. Therefore, a child who has a parent with a mutation has a 50% chance of inheriting that mutation. A brother, sister, or parent of a person who has a mutation also has a 50% chance of having the same mutation.
Options exist for couples interested in having a child when they know that one of them carries a gene mutation that increases the risk for this hereditary cancer syndrome. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a medical procedure done in conjunction with in-vitro fertilization (IVF). It allows people who carry a specific known genetic mutation to have children who do not carry the mutation. A woman's eggs are removed and fertilized in a laboratory. When the embryos reach a certain size, one cell is removed and is tested for the hereditary condition in question. The parents can then choose to transfer embryos which do not have the mutation. PGD has been in use for over a decade, and more recently has been used for several hereditary cancer predisposition syndromes. For more information, talk with an assisted reproduction specialist at a fertility clinic.
How common is FAP?
FAP is uncommon; specific estimates on how many people have FAP vary from one in 22,000 up to one in 7,000. About 30% of people with FAP do not have any family history of the condition; they have a de novo, meaning a new mutation in the APC gene.
Most colorectal cancer is sporadic, meaning it occurs by chance and is not related to FAP or other known inherited genetic changes. Less than 1% of all colorectal cancer is thought to be due to FAP.
How is FAP diagnosed?
Classic FAP is a clinical diagnosis. This means that it is typically diagnosed when the doctor finds many polyps, rather than by the results of a laboratory test. A person with more than 100 adenomatous colon polyps is considered to have FAP. People with FAP can also have a blood test to look for a mutation in the APC gene. If an APC gene mutation is found, other family members may be diagnosed with FAP if they are tested and have the same gene mutation.
What are the estimated cancer risks associated with FAP?
- Colorectal cancer almost 100% if not treated
- Small bowel (intestines) 4% to 12%
- Pancreatic cancer 2%
- Papillary thyroid cancer 2%
- Hepatoblastoma 1.5%
- Brain or central nervous system tumor less than 1%
- Stomach cancer 0.5%
- Bile duct cancer small, but increased
- Adrenal gland cancer small, but increased
What are the screening options for FAP?
It is important to discuss with your doctor the following screening options, as each individual is different:
- Yearly screening for hepatoblastoma from birth to age 5 in children at risk, including a physical examination, abdominal ultrasound, and a blood test to measure alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels
- Yearly flexible sigmoidoscopy, beginning between the ages of 10 to 12 for children at risk for FAP
- Colonoscopy once polyps are detected; individuals with classic FAP will typically need a colectomy at some point due to the number of polyps and the high risk of colorectal cancer. A colectomy is the surgical removal of the entire colon.
- In most cases a total colectomy is recommended to prevent colon cancer in young adults. If any of the rectum remains after surgery, flexible sigmoidoscopy should still be performed regularly.
- Upper endoscopy (EGD) every one to three years, beginning at age 25 or after polyps are detected
- X-ray or computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan of the small bowel if adenomas are found on the EGD or before a colectomy; repeat every one to three years depending on symptoms.
- Yearly physical examination, including thyroid evaluation
Screening options may change over time as new technologies are developed and more is learned about FAP. It is important to talk with your doctor about appropriate screening tests.
Learn more about what to expect when having common tests, procedures, and scans.
Questions to ask the doctor
If you are concerned about your risk of developing cancer, talk with your doctor. Consider asking the following questions of your doctor:
- What is my risk of developing colorectal cancer?
- How many colon polyps have I had in total?
- What kind of colon polyps have I had? The two most common kinds are hyperplastic and adenomatous.
- What is my risk of developing another type of cancer?
- What can I do to reduce my risk of cancer?
- What are my options for cancer screening?
If you are concerned about your family history and think your family may have FAP, consider asking the following questions:
- Does my family history increase my risk of colorectal cancer?
- Should I meet with a genetic counselor?
- Should I consider genetic testing?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WSAU) -- Two of Wisconsin's members of Congress don't see eye-to-eye on the federal budget issues. 1st District Republican Paul Ryan released his proposed federal budget Tuesday. 3rd District Democrat Ron Kind referred to the package as a bad April Fool's joke. "The Republican budget that just came out fails on all fronts. They're talking about drastic cutting in job training programs, huge cuts in the Pell Grant program, which goes to low and medium income students, over 125-billion in cuts, this will only drive our students further into debt, and right now, student loan is over a trillion dollars exceeding credit card debt."
The Ryan proposal cuts $5.1 trillion in government spending. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the proposed deficit reduction would boost the economy. As a result of commonsense spending restraint and much-needed economic growth, the budget balances in ten years and starts paying down the debt.
Ryan says, "This is a plan to balance the budget and create jobs, and it builds off a simple fact: We can't keep spending money we don't have. This budget provides relief for families. Too many Americans struggle to make ends meet, while Washington continues to live beyond its means. It's irresponsible to take more from hardworking families to spend more in Washington. Today's proposal—The Path to Prosperity—shows that it's not too late to tackle our country's most pressing challenges."
Kind disagrees, saying government should be doing more for job creation. "Address the skills gap that has opened up in our economy with businesses that are expanding right now. We should be investing in broadband expansion, and we need a major infrastructure modernization program in the 21st century so we're establishing the foundation for sustained, long-term economic growth."
Republicans and Democrats both acknowledge a need to address the skills gap. Kind believes the government can do a better job of this.
Congressman Ryan's budget plan is scheduled for mark ups in the House Budget Committee Wednesday. He says it would balance the budget and begins to pay down the debt within ten years, grow the economy, cut government spending by 5.1 trillion over ten years, strengthen national security and the Medicare program, and repeal The Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare.
Kind says repealing Obamacare is a mistake. "Perhaps the most cynical aspect of this budget, is it contains all of the cost savings that's embodied in the Affordable Care Act right now. They pocket it, while still claiming to repeal the Affordable Care Act, so they're trying to have it both ways, and it's not only hypocritical, it's disingenuous."
Ryan says the bipartisan budget passed last fall was a good first step, and that America can't keep spending money it doesn't have.
Kind says seniors can't spend money they don't have, as this budget wants them to pay more for preventive services and prescription drugs. He says the 'savings' supposedly found in the plan are only made possible by shifting costs to future seniors.

Dordt College Opens New Science And Technology Center
(Sioux Center) -- Dordt College at Sioux Center is ready to open its new Science and Technology Building. The official dedication is scheduled for October 19th, but college officials are opening the facility for an early look. The $12 million building is being built and financed in three separate phases. Phase one will serve as a hub for teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and math at Dordt College. To foster interdisciplinary interaction across campus, a two-story addition will connect the current science building to the classroom building containing faculty offices, technology-enabled classrooms, computer learning labs, informal learning spaces, and areas for public presentation and display of the ongoing work. An engineering design and project wing will include new project areas and laboratories dedicated to civil structures and engineering mechanics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, foundations and soil mechanics, electronics, instrumentation and mechatronics, solar energy engineering, and materials science. A high-bay work area will provide space for student design teams to develop, build, and test their prototypes. A modern teaching and research greenhouse to serve agriculture and biology will cap off this project and laboratory space. An expanded nursing skills laboratory will also be added to the current nursing building during this phase.

An Iowa Department of Corrections spokesmansays that 22-year-old Melvin William Spencer III was taken back into custody Tuesday night.
Authorities say Spencer escaped custody Sunday by not returning to a residential treatment facility from a weekend furlough. He is serving a seven-year sentence for intimidation with a dangerous weapon and carrying weapons. He began his sentence in 2012 and was transferred to work release in June.
The spokesman says it wasn't clear what Spencer was doing at the store. He says parole officials will review whether to revoke Spencer's work release.
It's unclear if additional charges have been filed.
Police Investigate Near Drowning Of Child And Arrest Mother On Drug Charges
(Sioux City) -- Sioux City Police have made a drug-related arrest after investigating a near drowning of a child. On Monday afternoon, Sioux City Police were notified of a near-drowning of a 10 month old child in the 2800 block of west 4th Street in an apartment complex. When officers arrived on the scene they observed marijuana in plain view and found evidence of marijuana being smoked in the apartment at the time of the incident. The child was transported to a local hospital and was checked for observation. The child's mother, 20 year old Maricela Vasquez was present at the apartment when officers arrived. Vasques admitted to investigators that she had left her 10-month old child unattended in the bathtub in order to go to a bedroom and smoke marijuana. The following day, Vasques was arrested and charged her with Child Endangerment, a Class D felony, and possession of a controlled subtance, marijuana, a serious misdemeanor. The child has been released from the hospital and removed from Vasquez's custody.
Sioux City Considers Expanding Hiking/Pedestrian Trail
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Sioux City public works director says officials are moving forward with a $300,000 plan to fix a city trail.
Construction on the Floyd River Trail could start as early as the spring.
The north trailhead was blocked off five years ago when Union Pacific Railroad tracks were built across the path. The director says a tunnel can be constructed beneath the tracks to divert pedestrians and cyclists.
City officials say money left over from a different construction project could fund the repair. The plans will require approval by the City Council.
People Testify About Being Frustrated About Not Able To Obtain Marijuana Extract
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Speakers at an administrative hearing say they're frustrated at the difficulty in obtaining a marijuana extract despite Iowa's new law.
Sally Gaer, of West Des Moines, and Kim Novy, of Altoona, made the comments Tuesday after a state Department of Public Health hearing on the issue. Both women say they have epileptic children who would benefit from the extract.
Gaer says the law, which decriminalizes possession of a marijuana extract for patients, offers no legal method for growing or selling the product in the state, and lawmakers are still working on issuing registration cards to allow residents to possess extract purchased in other states.
Health official Deborah Thompson says officials hope to issue registration cards by the end of the year.
Former Judge On Employment Issues Testifies At Government Oversight Hearing
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A former chief judge for the state agency that hears unemployment cases says he was fired because he stood up to his boss, who asserted her bias toward employers and against unemployed workers.
Joe Walsh oversaw 15 unemployment appeals judges from 2010 until his dismissal in 2013.
On Tuesday, he told the Senate Government Oversight Committee that Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert pushed him to develop tip sheets to help businesses avoid paying unemployment. She was appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad.
Walsh called for an independent counsel to "fully investigate all of the Branstad administration's abuses of the administrative judiciary."
A workforce development spokeswoman wouldn't comment but noted Wahlert testifies before the panel Wednesday.
Branstad spokesman Jimmy Centers noted Democrats lead the hearings, calling them "thinly veiled political circus."
Republicans Accuse Hatch Of Killing Bill To Protect His Real Estate Business
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Republicans are accusing Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jack Hatch of using his legislative position to halt a bill that could have impacted his development business.
Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said Tuesday that as a state senator, Hatch sought to kill a bill that would have limited fees for developers receiving federal tax credits to build low-income housing.
Hatch's development company has built projects using these tax credits. Hatch's campaign called the accusations false, but declined to answer specific questions.
The bill cited by Republicans was referred to a subcommittee chaired by Hatch in 2013. The panel never met, meaning the bill did not advance.
A recent investigation by The Des Moines Register found that Hatch had followed development rules and had taken votes for and against his self-interest.

July 08, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
The national average price of diesel has posted its first increase for the first time in several weeks following a big spike in the price of oil.
The U.S. Energy Department says the average price of diesel increased 1.1 cent over the past week to $3.828 per gallon. This is the first increase since the week of May 20 and puts the price of diesel 14.5 cents a gallon higher than the same week a year ago. Before this week's increase diesel had shed a little more than 7 cents.
Prices increased in all regions of the country, except in the New England sub-region of the East Coast region, falling 0.6 cents to $3.965 (also the most expensive part of the country), and 0.8 cents in the Rocky Mountain region, for an average of $3.811.
The least expensive region for diesel is the Gulf Coast, where prices rose 1.9 cents, the biggest gain of any part of the country, for an average of $3.753.
In contrast, gasoline continued its recent drop, reporting its fifth straight weekly decline. The national average of $3.492 per gallon is down 0.4 cents over the past week but 8.1 cents higher than the same week a year ago.
Gasoline prices range from $3.295 in the Gulf Coast region to $3.875 in the West Coast states.
The increase in diesel prices is hardly surprising. While oil lost 8 cents in trading Monday in New York, settling at $103.14 per barrel, prices last week jumped 6.9%, hitting $103.22 per barrel on Friday, its highest closing price since May of 2012.
The run-up in oil futures was sparked Friday by a government report showing there was a net gain of nearly 200,000 jobs in the U.S. during June, along with concerns that political instability in Egypt could result in a disruption of oil shipments through the Suez Canal, a key route for oil shipments from the Mideast.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil and sliced garlic in a skillet over medium heat. When garlic begins to sizzle, remove and discard. Add rosemary to oil, and immediately pour into a heatproof bowl. Let cool.
Season tuna with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Rub half the rosemary oil over tuna. Let stand 15 minutes.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add tuna, and sear until dark golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with parchment. Let rest.
Heat remaining teaspoon oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add thyme, red-pepper flakes, and minced garlic, and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add kale, and cook 2 minutes. Add stock, and simmer 5 minutes. Add beans and tomatoes, and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar and remaining salt and pepper.
Thinly slice tuna. Drizzle rosemary oil over tuna and beans on serving plates.
This was wonderful and easy to make.Reply
wow, i totally disagree. i thought this was quick and delicious!Reply
This was not good. The thyme overpowered all the other flavors. You could not taste the rosemary. The flavors did not go well together. I usually love all the recipes on here but this was not one of them.Reply

The Original On-Site Gymnastics, Fitness & Sports Program!
Our Mission:
Through our original and imaginative journeys, we ignite a love of movement and discovery in the children we teach.
Gymnastics gives your child:
1. Foundations in fitness & focus essential in developing a basis for learning.
2. Develops Core Fitness, Strength, Flexibility, & Balance through proven gymnastics fundamentals...
3. Skills that are the"number one prescription activity, for children, to improve overall fitness,
4. Builds the 'physical pathway' of the brain, improving function and focus. Focusing with ease means learning with ease."
"Exercises found in Educational Gymnastics are "Miracle-Gro" for the Brain. Vaulting, rolling, balance, tumbling , jumping, climbing, hang/pull/push swing, & support of the body are examples of phenomenal 'focus work' opportunities for children."*
Dr. John Ratey, Harvard University
Exercise and the brain– the crucial connections…..establish , maintain, & help build a foundation for a happy , healthy, child .
Fitness Futures begin HERE!
In the the ancient and modern Olympic games, Gymnastics has been the method of training athletes use to prepare the mind and body to participate in'Sport.' *nearly 70% of athletes both Olympic and professional, credit gymnastics as a foundation for their strength, flexibility and balance and as a preventive measure in avoiding serious injury.
Gymnastics engages the brain at a much higher level for the body to perform in various planes of movement. Incredible combinations of muscles are recruited in these skills; developing improved balance, increases in strength & flexibility, force & momentum, alertness/reaction time.....ALL originating from the prime benefactor....the core.
Fundamental Gymnastics exercises increase body awareness (kinesthetics), providing improved coordination and self confidence. This has an immediate transfer effect when learning and participating in other sporting activities.
The body and mind are prepared; and have learned to work synergistically to efficiently create power force & momentum. Students with a gymnastics foundation (the basics) move to higher levels of performance more easily and quickly than students with just basic gross motor exposures to movement.
TAG inc develops your childs confidence through skill progressions...with a little imagination:
From forward rolls to front flips, bridges to backhandsprings, scales to handstands; with imaginative approaches to basic and advanced tumbling, vaulting, padded balance beam, single bar skills, strength and flexibility training and MORE!!!...your child experiences new successes every week!
Example: Skill Development in Vaulting ...speed, power, muscle reaction time, kinesthetic awareness, coordination, timing,
VAULTING involves 'Rapid Processing & focus on the Mind-Body Relationship to achieve the goals of height, body control, and propulsion over the 'horse'. Student (age 4 here) demonstrates straddle vault. As he gains more power & practice he will reach further across and push his body over, lifting his chest and land on his feet. Our Kindergarten age and some Pre-K are doing vaults to handstand and front handsprings!

DUNN COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) - A truck driver from suburban Chicago has pleaded guilty to causing an Interstate crash in western Wisconsin that killed another trucker.
23-year-old Destry Wilson of Great Lakes Illinois was convicted of felony negligent homicide. Four other charges were dropped in a plea deal.
According to prosecutors, Wilson parked his rig along Interstate 94 without the proper lighting on a July night last year. Another semi came along and slammed into Wilson's truck.
The rig driven by 43-year-old Brian Paglusch of Paynesville Minnesota was engulfed in flames.
Wilson was charged after an autopsy showed that Paglusch died from the fire, and not the crash itself.
The Dunn County district attorney says he'll ask the judge for probation, and a jail term of no more than six months.
Wilson will be sentenced on August 1st.

Police are investigating two reported abduction attempts and a third suspicious incident in Gwinnett County.One incident happened on Jan. 21 in Dacula. Police responded to a call at the Fairmont at the Park neighborhood. A child said a man in a black pickup truck pulled up next to him, opened the door and tried to pull him in. The child was able to run away to his home and tell his parents.The child described the attempted abductor as an overweight white male with a beard around 50 years old. His vehicle was described as a black truck with rusted rims and tinted windows. A similar incident was reported Jan. 14 in a Lawrenceville subdivision. A child told his parents that someone tried to grab him out of their driveway. He was also able to get away. The boy described that man as thin with a black hat.A third suspicious incident was reported on Jan. 16. In that case, a van was reported parked in a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood at 1 a.m. A concerned neighbor called police, but the van was gone by the time authorities arrived. Unlike the other two cases, no one was approached.Authorities are investigating if any of these instances are related.
Information security officer Paresh Patel says many of us don't realize how a cloud connects our digital lives.

Beaded panel (ithemba)
Kangezile MaMajoli Ndlovu NOT ON WEBSITE BUT IN EXHIBITION
South African
Beaded Panel (ithemba)
Before 1968
Glass beads
Museum Purchase with Harn General Program Endowment Funds
By the 1960s, with the rise in school attendance and literacy among Zulu families, beadworkers in the Msinga area were inspired by the image of classroom blackboards covered with text. This panel is the first in a series made by Kangezile MaMajoli Ndlovu for her future husband. The panels express the joys and difficulties of the relationship. The message, "dela wazala mame," expresses joy at the birth of the couple's son, and was given to the boy by his mother. The knotted corner adornments symbolize clasped hands, and emphasize the warmth of her feelings.

Interlibrary Loan
ILL Basics
FAQS : Here's some information about ILL you may not know...
What is this ILL I've heard so much about?
ILL (Interlibrary Loan) is a way of borrowing and lending resources with libraries all over the world. ILL helps you obtain materials that Linfield does not have. But ILL is a bit behind the scenes. Usually you find items to request when searching Linfield WorldCat or one of the Libraries Research Databases (see also Research Tips). If you want a particular book or article, first check Linfield WorldCat (see Before You Request). If you cannot find it there, you can request it via My ILL Account
ILL can request both physical materials (such as books, DVDs, CDs, etc.) and articles (which usually arrive digitally). You must be currently enrolled/employed at Linfield to use ILL.
What is Summit?
Summit is a network of over 30 academic library collections in the Northwest, such as University of Oregon, Reed College, and of course Linfield. When you search Linfield WorldCat, what Linfield has shows up first, then items from Summit libraries, then WorldCat Libraries (worldwide). Summit items arrive more quickly than WorldCat Libraries items. Check My Summit Account located top right on the Summit page to see what Summit items you borrowed or want to renew. Check My ILL Account for information about other requested items.
I've ordered a book. When and how do I get it?Physical items (books, dvd's, cd's etc.) generally take at least seven days to arrive.
Physical items will be on the holdshelf behind the circulation desk. You'll get an email notification when the item comes in. Just come to the desk when the library is open to get your item.
Items will be mailed to DCE students unless they live in McMinnville. DCE students who live in McMinnville can pick items up at the circulation desk.
Please return items to the circulation desk with all the paperwork that came with them. DCE students can mail items back to the Nicholson Library. -- Contact Us for more information.
But I ordered an article. When and how do I get that?
Articles generally come faster than physical items. Articles are delivered either electronically or physically, with most being received electronically. That means the article will be online when ILL receives it and you will be able to access soon after. You will get an email with instructions when the items arrive.
If the article comes physically, it will be sent to your Linfield address (for students taking classes at the McMinnville campus), sent in campus mail (faculty, staff, and administrators), or mailed to your home address (DCE students).
How do I renew an item?You may request one renewal per item unless the item's paperwork indicates otherwise. To request a renewal, first login to My ILL account. Then click the See your ILL items and view articles online button and simply choose the item(s) you want renewed from the list of things checked out to you on the page. Finish by clicking the Send Renewal Requests button at the bottom of the page.
You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com with the title and ILL number of the item.
Renewals need to be asked for on a item-by-item basis. Once you've submitted a renewal request, you will receive an email from email@example.com with further information
When should I request a renewal? What happens if I can't get a renewal?
Ideally, one week before the item is due. Renewals for significantly overdue items will not be processed. Overdue fines, by the way, are $0.25/day.
What if I lose or damage an item?When you pick an item up from ILL you assume responsibility for it. If you lose or damage an item you may be subjected to a replacement fee. The amount will be determined by the lending library and Linfield ILL. Linfield ILL will contact you with the cost once it has been determined. If you lose or damage an item please contact email@example.com ASAP to let us know.
I have special instructions about my ILL request. Is there a way to send a note with it?As a matter of fact, yes! When requesting an item using the automatically generated ILL form (physical items or articles) the last field above the "submit" button is for any notes you'd like to include to ILL staff about the item. Be as specific as you need to be and we will try to accommodate.
I have more questions! What do I do?Contact Us!

Isaiah DeQuincey Newman Papers, 1911-1985
Newman was a Methodist pastor, civil rights activist, and entrepreneur. A leading figure in the Civil Rights movement in South Carolina, he helped organize the Orangeburg branch of the NAACP in 1943, helped found the Progressive Democratic Party, and served the South Carolina NAACP as state field director from 1960 to 1969. In 1983, at age 72, he was elected to the South Carolina Senate, thus becoming the first African American to serve in that body since Reconstruction.

Courtnall Heads South; Randell Returns to Providence
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 21st season in the American Hockey League, announced today that the club has swapped players with the South Carolina Stingrays (ECHL). Justin Courtnall has been returned on loaned to South Carolina and Tyler Randell has been reassigned to Providence.
Courtnall was recalled from loan to South Carolina on November 23 and skated in one game for the Bruins. The left wing was originally loaned to South Carolina on October 5. In five games with the Stingrays this season, Courtnall has gone 0-0-0 and tallied 20 penalty minutes. A native of Victoria, BC, Courtnall spent the last three years at Boston University. As an assistant captain in 2011-12, Courtnall recorded a collegiate-high seven points on four goals and three assists. The 6'3", 210-pound forward is the son of former Bruins forward Geoff Courtnall, and the nephew of Russ Courtnall, veterans of 17 and 16 year NHL careers respectively.
Randell, a sixth round Boston selection in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, is 2-1-3 and has recorded a team-high 36 penalty minutes in 19 games with the Stingrays. After four seasons in the OHL with Belleville and Kitchener, Randell made his professional debut with Providence in the 2011-12 season. After 30 games, in which he went 2-0-2 and recorded 45 penalty minutes, he was reassigned by Boston to the Kitchener Rangers (OHL).

A mixture of tradition and modernity, a love of Alsace and the pleasure of entertaining…
by Sabine & Ernest Schaetzel…
In 1970 this former mansion with its 17th century architecture offered six bed and breakfast rooms; it was their parents' house. Then one day, it became theirs.
He reinvented the dishes, dug out the forgotten recipes, extolled the traditions … and she shaped a cosy interior with a mellow decoration that brings back to life an ideal Alsace.
Everything began in 1978 for this couple of food-lovers with a passionate interest in architecture, and sometimes a touch of "madness" … The building was renovated to become a 2-star hotel with 7 bedrooms and a restaurant.
The Hostellerie des Châteaux & Spa has become over the years a 4-star hotel with 67 bedrooms and suites, with a very wide range of leisure and business facilities, where there reigns an atmosphere of luxury and simplicity.
Here, well-being is expressed in every language.
Today praise, the stars that hang on their door, friends and customers, people from every country…
They all talk only of happiness!
