EL PASO — A letter of resignation fron Fire Chief Otto Drozd announced his plans to depart the El Paso Fire Department effective Nov. 23.
The Chief said he planned on returning to his home state of Florida as Fire Chief of the Orange County Fire Rescue Department, which oversees the largest county in Florida, including Orlando and the Disneyworld complexes.
"Chief Drozd has elevated the professionalism of the department and we wish him much success in his new role in Orlando, Florida," City Manager Joyce Wilson said.
According to fire officials, Chief Drozd confronted many challenges including a shortage of paramedics, excessive sick leave usage, delayed capital replacement, and providing for the growth within the City. The department said that under his leadership, it has met the challenge by increasing the number of paramedics by approximately 35 percent thus increasing patient care and allowing for greater survivability.

Master Seminar held in Chiang Mai, Thailand,4th-7th Apr. 2012
19th Apr 2012 09:20
Information on the Master Seminar held in Chiang Mai, Thailand
As having been well-informed to the members, the Master Seminar had taken place in Chiang Mai, Thailand on 4-7 Apr. 2012.
The seminar has run very successfully with more than 40 participants across the world including Grand Masters and Senior Masters in attendance.
The main purpose of this seminar was to provide the participants with the opportunity to learn how to teach the students as an International Instructor, not as a Coach and what knowledge they have to deal with during the training.
It is a well-known fact that ITF has decided at its 19th Congress to divide the International Course into the International Technical Seminar and International Instructor Course for the purpose of the unified & combined education on the TKD Techniques invented by Founder Gen. Choi Hong Hi as well as of further promoting the skills & abilities of the International Instructors as a Teacher.
Based on it, ITF has first ever arranged the Master Seminar in China in Apr. 2010 and it has been a best chance for all participants to reach the unanimous agreements for the contents & methods to be taught by the Conductors in the future Courses.
Entrusted by ITF, Grand Master Hwang Ho Yong, the Chairman of ITF Technical & Education Committee, presided over the seminar for the technical points and Grand Master Leong Wai Meng for the sections of both Moral Culture and Business through the TKD training & activities.
At the end of seminar, there was a particular meeting among the persons including GM Leong Wai Meng, GM Hwang Ho Yong, GM Kim Ung Chol and GM Phap Lu who had been appointed as the Conductors for the International Courses.
The key agreements made at this seminar are below;
- In Pattern Ge-Baek and Eui-Am, when you perform the Low Twisting Kick you must not make a pause after kicking but instead, pull the kicking leg back immediately.
- The movements 5 and 17 in Pattern Ju-Che must be executed in a slow motion to the end of the movements.
The Slow Motions mentioned in all Patterns must be carried out in accordance with this principle.
The NGBs are kindly required to pay the due attention to the above points because the competitors are obliged to perform those techniques as indicated in above from the upcoming Junior & Veteran Championships scheduled in Tallinn, Estonia in Aug. this year.

With the holidays behind us--according to news reports, one of the slowest holiday shopping seasons in history--I've been reflecting on some of the TV advertising I saw during my much needed vacation time.
Vendors and retail outlets across the board have been throwing themselves (figuratively of course) at American consumers in an effort to get us to buy something, anything, in this, the worst economic recession in decades, maybe the worst economic situation the country has seen since the Depression. Chief among these desperate purveyors seem to be automakers.The world economic situation in general, seemingly based in large part on the downturn in the American economy, has put a pretty big hurt on the new car market. Manufacturers put on their bravest faces and combat the rumors of sales stagnation and declining profits with their own press releases, but the fact is, people by and large aren't even buying cheap stuff, let alone brand-new automobiles... let along brand-new luxury automobiles.Even so, Lexus ran the same ad campaign it always runs around Christmastime. You know, the commercials where so-and-so is lured out into the driveway to find a brand-new Lexus automobile sitting there, wrapped in an absurdly gigantic bow. This year the commercials began with flashbacks from so-and-so's childhood and so-and-so's memory of "the best present ever." One kid was playing his Atari, one was riding his Big Wheel, one little girl was brushing out the hair on her new Barbie or pony or whatever it was--I can't quite remember. Then the scene flashes to the present, when so-and-so, all grown up, is standing in the driveway looking at his or her brand-new Lexus. "It's the best present ever!" they would say.I guess what I'm getting at here is 1) did anyone really get a brand-new car in this depressing fiscal climate and 2) do people really buy new cars for each other, even in the prosperous times? I for one can't envision blowing 30, 40, or 50 grand on a new car for anyone except maybe myself... I don't care how gorgeous she is. Buying a gift that extravagant just seems tacky and overly desperate, like you're trying to make up for something awful you did or trying to win affection you wouldn't normally win on your own. It seems lame.Not to mention if someone I know did happen to buy me a car I'd most likely be disappointed by the result. "Honey, here's your brand-new Lexus!""Eh... but I wanted a BMW."For me, choice of car is a highly personal decision and I would hardly expect anyone close to me to have any clue of what I wanted (I don't hang out with many car people outside of work).But if anyone out there is reading this blog and feels extra generous around this time next year, what I really really want is a new M3. Or, if you've got a little extra change lying around, a GT3. That'd actually be pretty sweet.Here's hoping Santa reads my blog.

A New Way to Find Books to Read
Published on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 1:22pm
Books and Authors allows you to search by character, subject, location and/or time period.
For example, if you choose detective, adventure and the 2000s decade, you will find Michael Connelly's A Darkness More than Night: A Novel, about a former FBI profiler who "agrees to try his hand at identifying a murderer whose modus operandi suggests he may be a budding serial killer." You will also find the John Deal series by Les Standiford, a series of action thrillers that feature "gritty private detective John Deal who, often aided by police detective Vernon Driscoll, faces a wide array of dangers including terrorists and other assorted criminal types. Most of the cases are somehow related to government intrigue."
If you searched on cheerleader and U.S., you'd find All-American Girl by Meg Cabot, about three sisters, one cheerleader, one gifted, and one (Samantha) who dyes her hair and clothes black. Sam accidentally saves the president's life, leading to a hilarious adventure, including a date with the president's son. You'll also find Dead Connection by Charlie Price about a shy loner (Murray) who talks to children and teenagers buried in the local cemetery. One day Murray hears a voice he thinks is the cheerleader missing from his high school.
On the other hand, if you search for acrobat, aardvark, Africa and the 1930s, you won't find much to read!

Borderite Spring Football: The first outing
Published on Thu, Jun 17, 2010 by
By Jerry Huls
Read More
Blaine head football coach Jay Dodd was pleased by what he saw last Saturday. The Borderites completed the 2010 spring football workouts with a 28-21 scrimmage win over visiting New Westminster on June 12. Sean Allen, penciled in as next season's starter tossed two touchdown passes.
Todd Bird caught one on a goal line fade route and Andrew Miller turned a reception into a 65-yard catch and run. Backup quarterback Zach Aiken fired a 45-yard TD strike to sophomore GaQuan White and also ran for an eight yard score. Andrew Price and Tyler Chau each had three receptions.
The defense, which was tested by a strong New West attack, was lead by inside linebackers Todd Freeman and Caleb Johnson.
"They (Freeman and Johnson) looked good defensively as did nose guard Andy Villaunueava," Dodd said.
The win had to be especially sweet for the juniors who played last year as New Westminster beat the Borderites in their home opener in a thriller last season.
"It was a great day to be a Borderite," said Dodd, whose entire team and coaching staff joined coaches from the middle school and the Boys and Girls Club to run a youth football camp before the game.
Coach Dodd told his charges that he was excited and enthusiastic about the effort and attitude that this team has shown. The fans will have to wait a few more months to see what this new team is capable of achieving.

At age seven, LinMarie Garsee began making quilts. Five years ago, she decided to start giving one quilt to a mother of a fallen south Texas soldier.
Just last week, she presented a quilt to the mother of Nederland graduate, Army Specialist Anthony Maddox, who was killed in Afghanistan.
"She was very surprised. She was a very, very kind lady like all these mothers of soldiers have been," says Garsee.
As she sews, she remembers the mothers she has met along the way. One mother she re-united with at her son's grave.
"She said 'I remember you. You're the lady that gave me a quilt. I never got to thank you' and I pointed down to the tombstone and said 'Yes, you did in a real tough way," says Garsee.
Her gratitude comes from her heart, then through her sewing machine, and then it finds a resting place in the arms of a heart-broken mother.
"There are times when they break down and cry and we hold them and we try to caress them and console them," she says.
Because of our military's sacrifice, she'll continue to sew to help bring comfort to a fallen soldier's family.
No two quilts are the same and the material is provided by volunteers.

LAS VEGAS -- Animal rights activists protested against chimpanzees being kept in a southwest Las Vegas neighborhood without a permit.
The protestors said the apes are escape artists and a tragedy is bound to happen.
The chimps' owner, James Michael Casey, met with the protestors in front of his house Friday. He said his chimps are small and kept securely in an enclosure.
He said the chimps have been the stars of birthday parties, bar mitzvahs and television commercials.
But the animal rights activists said the chimps will get bigger and the neighborhood is in danger.
"Any of the neighbors surrounding here that have questions or concerns, I'd like to meet with them personally, put their minds at ease," Casey said.
Activist Linda Faso said Casey is keeping chimps without the proper permits and that neighbors need to know about how dangerous the animals can be.
"He's had them there for a year-and-a-half and didn't apply," she said. "Now that he's applied, the neighbors have a right to say 'Not in my neighborhood' or 'It's fine with me.' Let the neighbors decide."
Neighbor Denise Snow said she knew the primates were there and is not concerned.
"We went over, knocked on the door and said 'Do you own chimps?' They said 'You want to come see? We're keeping them safe.' They invited us in."
Casey said he had no connection with the chimps who got loose in North Las Vegas in July; however, other incidents can be linked back to him.
In 2009, a chimp born at Casey's Missouri ranch mutilated a woman's face, nearly killing her.
"He was born at the facility, but by the time he was two months old he was in Sandra Herald's hands," Casey explained. "She was raising him."
In 2001, a chimp owned by Casey escaped and was shot dead.
Casey offered his explanation of the escape: "When the chimps got out of the facility in Missouri, I was a thousand miles away in Baltimore."
Casey said he has 23 years of experience and is a responsible exotic animal owner.
Faso said she is not convinced.
"They're going to get out," she said. "Look at what happened to CJ and Buddy (who was shot and killed when he escaped). Look at what happened to Charla Nash (who's face was mutilated by a chimp). Their hands are as powerful as five men."
Casey has been cited for not having a permit for the animals and operating a business with the chimps without a license.
"You got me on the business license," he said. "As soon as I can get this thing -- through the (Clark County) Commission -- then I will absolutely get the license.
County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said a hearing is scheduled for Nov. 21 and neighbors may weigh in on whether they want the animals there.
Until then, Animal Control deemed the property safe for the chimps to live there for the time being.

This Trash Hauler's Key Takeaways From Q4
Howard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With trash volumes flat and the ability to raise prices almost nonexistent, waste service providers have faced an uphill climb during the past couple of years. Unfortunately, the fourth-quarter earnings Republic Services (NYSE: RSG), one of the industry's Top 3 players, reported on Feb. 7 show that little has really changed over the past several months -- and little improvement is expected in early 2013.
RSG's results, and why they matter
Since the onset of the Great Recession, a slowdown in housing and commercial construction, weak retail spending, and trends like diminished newspaper circulation and the use of less packaging in most consumer goods have all contributed to the waste sector's woes. More recently, weak recycling commodity pricing has also hurt the industry.
Republic's report, following a 90-day period in which its stock rose nearly 19% to levels not seen since last spring, took analysts slightly by surprise. The company fell short of expectations on profit, which dipped to $0.37 a share ex-items, from $0.51 a share a year earlier. It did slightly beat on revenues, which were essentially flat year over year. But officials also lowered 2013 guidance, projecting that current economic conditions would prevail during the next 12 months. In response, shares dropped as much as 3%.
With Republic being the first of the industry giants to report, much of what it said in its announcement and follow-up conference call will be instructive to investors who watch the field. Waste Management (NYSE: WM), which together with Republic attracts about 40% of all U.S. spending on trash disposal and owns about two-thirds of the country's landfills, reports Feb.14.
Waste Connections (NYSE: WCN) is scheduled to report Feb. 20. It's often treated like an afterthought to the two market leaders, even though it, too, has considerable market share in a field where established relationships with municipalities, lengthy contracts, and costly rolling stock create significant barriers for expansion.
Progressive Waste Solutions (NYSE: BIN), a Canadian firm that serves about 25% of the U.S. and about 60% of its home country, and Paris-based Veolia Environnement (NYSE: VE), which offers services worldwide, comprise the remainder of the U.S. market, along with a number of regional firms.
During the previous period, both Republic and WM reported disappointing results and cut full-year 2012 guidance. WCN proved an outlier, reporting third-quarter net income and revenue above the Street's expectations. Even so, the period marked the fifth straight quarter that its margins had contracted.
Tackling just that issue, WM and Republic have been restructuring to lower their costs. Nonetheless, analyst expectations were low going into Republic's fourth-quarter earnings — and Republic proved that they weren't quite low enough.
The good news
Republic did manage to offer a few slivers of good news. It revealed that Q4 core pricing was up 1.1% from the prior year, with increases in all business lines. This was slightly ahead of the 0.8% increase the company experienced for the full year, and in line with its own projections. Officials also said they believe the industry was beginning to emerge from the pricing "trough" it has been mired in since the economic downturn began.
Additionally, Republic said it expected 2013 sales growth of 2%-2.5%, core price improvement of 1%-1.5%, and adjusted per-share earnings of $1.86-$1.91, all better than 2012. This EPS guidance, however, was a little below what the company had offered in Q3.
Finally, the company noted that its recycling business continued to grow, with Q4 recycling facility tons up about 3.5% over the prior year. It also said "temporary roll off business hauls," which relate to construction demolition, were up over 5% in Q4, although this is coming off a very low 2011 base.
The bad news
This is where the rubber really hit the road. Republic said volumes dropped 0.8% in the quarter and 1% for the full year, although it posted some improvement in commercial and industrial lines over the previous quarter. However, it projected "relatively flat" volumes in 2013 with little growth from Hurricane Sandy-related demolition and rebuilding. "We're not heavily engaged in that part of the country," management said.
Overall results were hit by a decline in landfill and transfer station volumes, the company said, along with municipal contract losses and ongoing competitive pressures in several key regions including the huge Los Angeles market. "We are seeing some lower pricing levels, on average, on those contract renewals," Republic executives noted. This is expected to continue, they added, as municipalities face growing pressures in coming years and continue demanding better deals through price reductions by threatening to switch providers.
Republic also said recycling commodities fell 0.8% in Q4 and 1.2% for the year, 2012 revenue was down more than 9% from 2011, and 4Q12 margins dropped 340 basis points from the prior year as a result of fuel and commodity pressures along with labor costs.
Additionally, it noted that while housing construction and business improvement did offer promise, benefits from either were not imminent. Housing construction doesn't lead to increased waste disposal for as long as 12 months, for example. "We've got to see these housing starts turn into finished houses," officials explained. "That's where the waste is generated."
The bottom line
The decline in Republic's volumes for the quarter and the full year, and its projections for flat volumes in 2013, do not bode well for competitors WM and Waste Connections. The lower volumes seem to indicate that there is not yet a reversal in the downturn that has plagued waste companies for the past four years. And even the fledgling uptick in housing construction and business development in recent months may not provide a boost for several quarters at the minimum. The continuing drop in recycling commodity pricing is also troubling, as all providers derive profits from it. When volumes aren't rising, this has proven significant.
Republic's weak pricing shows that competition remains hot, and the pressure for better deals by municipal customers obviously continues to impact margins as well as volumes. WM and Waste Connections are not likely to escape this, either.
All of the best news seems still months away for all of these firms. Hurricane Sandy renovation may yet prove a boon to WM and Waste Connection, but that's also not likely to be seen until the first quarter of 2013 and beyond.
For now, investors looking for short-term winners may still find their best options elsewhere.

Is Anybody Old Enough to Remember the Last Cloud?
Roland is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Not all that long ago I put out ISBN-13 978-0-9770866-6-5 "The Minimum You Need to Know About Service Oriented Architecture". Some of you may remember that it won a 2008 Best Book Award from USA Book News. Apparently, not enough of you have read it because we are seeing "Cloud Computing" pushed to the masses. Not only will this enable identity theft on a biblical scale, but, it should bring George Orwell's "1984" to fruition. The last cloud was simply a spectacular failure.
During the 70s and into the early 80s, leased time and proprietary packages ruled the land. It was not until basic mid-range computers got down to under $100,000 where you started to see a boom in the VAR (Value Added Reseller) market along with custom ERP and CRM applications. The time-share and leased application markets died before 1990. There were lots of big vendors trying to sell mega packages to the Fortune 500 with price tags only the Fortune 500 could afford.
Then a horrible thing happened. They realized there were only 500 customers in the Fortune 500. Some package vendors caught onto this before others did. SAP (NYSE: SAP) put up their own Web site where small businesses could pay for accounts that would give them limited use of most/all SAP products. The catch was that all of their data had to remain on SAP servers. Other package vendors tried to follow suit. Some small to mid-sized companies jumped at deals of $99/month for full access, including payroll. Other vendors launched subscription sites for each module. Payroll was one of an early success since many companies were already in the habit of subbing that out to third party payroll services companies like ADP (NASDAQ: ADP).
Small to mid-sized companies started setting up additional locations, which needed bandwidth back to corporate. Even gas station chains started switching over from systems that dialed up and delivered a sales summary to live connections so pricing updates could be effortless. As companies continued to distribute, they continued to need bandwidth, and that bandwidth was in short supply.
The cost of dedicated T1 communications was atrocious. There was an extremely limited amount of fiber optics in the ground and companies were rationing access to it by increasing prices. At some point, well connected companies revolted, forcing the communications industry to come up with lower cost services or risk increased regulation.
Your standard communications carriers: Sprint (NYSE: S), MCI, AT&T (NYSE: T), along with most of the Regional Bell Operating Companies all started pitching "the cloud." This was a frame relay network where you paid for a minimum level of service and became part of a communications network that would magically expand on demand and shrink as usage dropped. Instead of paying for a dedicated T1 line, you would only pay for what you used along with your nominal monthly connection fee.
Great presentations were drawn up showing the frame relay network as this big beautiful cloud and everything connected by lightning bolts. When customers called to complain that they were only getting their minimum level of service, the communications companies pointed them to the section of the contract which said they were only "required" to provide that much bandwidth.
The view from the IT developer's desk was abysmal. Month, quarter, and year end jobs which required massive data transfers and had been the reason for getting T1 in the first place now took days, if not weeks to transfer. The dirty little secret started slipping out. There was only a limited amount of high speed fiber available, so very little was actually allocated to "the cloud." Every MBA signing a contract believed they were getting their own dedicated T1 for $19.95/month dial-up price, but in reality, they were all signing up to share one or maybe a few of these high speed channels which were allocated to this service but seemingly every customer was connected to the same "cloud."
I cannot tell you just how much gallows humor this created in IT departments.
"Well, maybe if we ran the cables downhill it would speed up transmissions." "No, you can't do that, responses would have to go uphill." "Oh, yea, that's right."
"Try jumping up and down on the router. It works for the trash can!"
There used to be a list of all these "cloud jokes" floating around somewhere, but, I couldn't find it now. Why did this cloud fail? Bean counters and MBAs. Somewhere at each communications company existed a pair of these who decided "the cloud" wasn't fully sold until all of the minimum bandwidth contracts connected to it greatly exceeded its peak capacity.
You don't hear much talk about the old cloud anymore, but when you do, it is still bad.

Sen. Kay Hagan filed for a second term Monday in Raleigh, setting the stage for what is expected to be an intense battle for her seat in November.
Hagan, a Democrat, ousted incumbent Republican Elizabeth Dole in 2008 in a surprise as she rode Barack Obama's strong showing in North Carolina.
Dole's campaign was damaged in the waning days of the election by an ad that attacked Hagan for attending a fundraiser held at the home of man who advised an atheist political action committee, even though Hagan was active in her home Presbyterian church in Greensboro.
The 2008 election was an expensive one, with the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spending more than $11 million for Hagan and the Republican Senate election committee spending $5.8 million for Dole, according to USA Today.
Republicans believe it's a seat they can regain in 2014, and the race is expected to get national attention from the GOP.
North Carolina House Speaker Thom Tillis is among the Republican contenders, who include Cary obstetrician Greg Brannon, Heather Grant, Ted Alexander, Charlotte pastor Mark Harris and Edward Kryn.
Brannon was found guilty of giving false or misleading information to investors of a technology company that is now defunct. He said he was "treated unfairly by the court" and will appeal.
A Public Policy Polling poll from Feb. 13 puts Hagan's approval rating at 41 percent and her disapproval rating at 50 percent.
Hagan has portrayed herself as a moderate, while the GOP has sought to tie her to Obama, especially on health care.
Hagan became the first Democrat to hold the seat since Jesse Helms first won election in 1972. Helms served for 30 years before retiring, and Dole won the seat.
Before Helms, the seat was held by Democrat B. Everett Jordan from 1958 to 1973.
Other notables to hold the seat include former University of North Carolina President Frank Porter Graham and conservative Raleigh attorney Willis Smith, who beat incumbent Graham in the epic 1950 election that was highlighted by intense racial overtones.
Another legendary politician to hold the seat was Furnifold Simmons of New Bern. Simmons was a dominant figure in North Carolina politics who served in the seat for 30 years until 1931.

Mucous cyst
A mucous cyst is a painless, thin sac on the inner surface of the lips. It contains clear fluid.
Alternative Names
Mucocele; Mucous retention cyst; Ranula; Epulis
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Mucous cysts are common. They are painless but can be bothersome because you are so aware of the bumps in your mouth. The cysts are thought to be caused by sucking the lip membranes between the teeth.
Mucous cysts are harmless. If left untreated, however, they can organize and form a permanent bump on the inner surface of the lip.
They are called ranula when on the floor of the mouth, and epulis when on the gums.
The sac may form around jewelry (piercings) that has been inserted into the lips or tongue.
A thin, fluid-filled sac appears on the inside of the lip. The sac is bluish and clear. It is painless, but bothersome.
The sac can also occur on the tongue, palate, inside the cheeks, the floor of the mouth, or around tongue or lip piercings.
Signs and tests
Your doctor can usually diagnose a mucous cyst simply by looking at it.
A mucous cyst often can be left alone; it usually will rupture spontaneously. Opening the top of the sac with a sterile needle will help it go away. If the cyst returns, it may need to be removed.
To prevent infection and damage to the tissue, opening the sac should NOT be performed at home by the parents. This should be performed by your health care provider. Oral surgeons and some dentists can easily remove the sacs if they continue to be uncomfortable.
There are usually no complications.
Calling your health care provider
If it becomes uncomfortable, have the cyst examined by your health care provider during a routine examination.
There is no known prevention. Avoid intentionally sucking the cheeks or lips between the teeth.

Police and people in neighborhoods like Englewood are hoping to see a calmer Monday than what they had to deal with over the weekend.
Englewood District officers gathered for an outdoor roll call, preparing for more potential violence. They met near where a man was shot and killed last week and not far from where a 15-year-old was killed in a police-involved shooting Sunday night.
SEE: Chicago violence skyrockets over weekend
SEE: 8 dead, 41 wounded in weekend shootings
In that case, police say Michael Westley pointed a gun at officers who shot him. He was later found to have a second weapon in his waistband.
Through Sunday night, at least eight people killed by gun violence and another 41 were injured.
On Monday afternoon, Rochelle Wilson played with her daughter at a park near their Englewood home. She said she felt safe in the middle of the afternoon, but said she would not be out after dark.
"When the weather hits, the weather changes and it gets hot outside it gets worse," Wilson said. "It's not a day that won't go past that someone does not get harmed or is getting killed."
At St. Sabina's church, the Monday night Peacemakers basketball league was making a difference, hopefully.
"You got guys who are rivals on the street, can come in here play ball together, then over a period of weeks, they have names, they know each other, they're ball players, so you got to build relationships, but then you got to offer options otherwise whatever we do out here is gonna be a pause, it's not gonna stop the real problem," Father Michael Pfleger said.
It's a problem that continued when a 19-year-old on a bike was shot and wounded in Englewood Monday afternoon.
Rasheeday Muhammed, who took her kids to the same Engelwood Park, said she believes police are making a difference, but can only do so much.
"I think it's always gonna be what it is because you have the people who is pulling triggers," Muhammed said. "They just have the mentality that they don't care."

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The owner of automotive businesses in Rhinelander is scheduled to be sentenced December 4th, after he struck a plea deal in a federal fraud case.
43-year-old John Henricks III has pleaded guilty in Federal Court in Madison to a single charge of mail fraud. Two other mail fraud charges were dropped, along with a federal identity theft count and four similar state charges that were pending in Oneida County.
The charges involved insurance claims that Henricks made with his former Custom Collision auto body repair business.
Henricks, who also owns towing businesses in the Rhinelander area, was accused of defrauding thousands of dollars from insurance firms, and stealing employees' identity to commit the crimes.

Recipe: Creamy Leek and Yogurt Soup
Here's a light, easy soup we recently enjoyed. It has all the fresh, delicate flavor of green leeks, with some garlic to punch it up. We added yogurt at the end and blended the soup smooth - the yogurt gave it a lovely tangy taste.
Add some fresh crusty bread, new butter, and a green salad - maybe some good cheese too - and you have yourself a light meal.
Creamy Leek and Yogurt Soup
about 1 1/2 quarts
2 large leeks
6 large cloves of garlic
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup white wine
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup plain yogurt
Cut the leeks in half lengthwise and wash thoroughly, making sure to get rid of all the sand and grit. Cut into half moons. Smash or mince the garlic cloves. Melt the butter in a heavy stockpot over medium heat. Saute the leeks and garlic very slowly, never letting them brown or burn. Cook until the leeks are nearly translucent - about 10 minutes.
Add the white wine and pepper and let cook for about five minutes, then add the broth and turn the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45-60 minutes.
Puree in a blender - hold the lid down with a folded towel or you will end up with splattered soup all over the kitchen! Puree in two batches, adding half a cup of yogurt into each. Eat slightly cool like this, or return to the pan and warm very gently over low heat - do not let boil.

do you think omitting the wine would be a mistake? If I'm cooking for people who don't drink, could this be done without the wine?
Sounds great!
amyd - if alcohol is the issue, it all will simmer off in the cooking, just leaving the flavor. If there's other reasons for wine-free cooking, yes, I suppose it could be left out but I would suggest adding a few squeezes of lemon near the end of cooking to brighten it up.
This is maybe a cooking 101 question, but how much of the leek do you use? Even the darker green part?
moema - yes, I used all of the leeks in this one.
Yum, I just made this for dinner. The tang of the yogurt works really well with the leeks and garlic. I recommend an immersion blender for pureeing soups, no messy transfer to and from a traditional blender, and often no need to puree multiple batches.
I found this a tad bit bland. I had to add more pepper and a bit of salt. Also, perhaps I cooked the leeks too long, but the color of my soup was quite a bit darker green! Still it was tasty after the adjustments.

WWD plans for Thailand
Preparations for World Wetlands Day 1998 in Thailand
Paul Erstemeijer of Wetlands International - Thailand Programme posted this revised description of plans for World Wetlands Day in Thailand to the Ramsar Forum on 27 January.
Revised programme for World Wetlands Day 1998: Thailand
Dear Colleagues,
In Thailand, several activities have been organized for World Wetlands Day 1998 (2 February):
Previously, the Seub Nakasathien Foundation, Bird Conservation Society of Thailand, Green World Foundation and Wetlands International - Thailand Programme had organized a 2-day WWD event at Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park (Prachuab Khiri Khan), a significant wetland area that is scheduled to be proposed as one Thailand's first Ramsar sites, but unfortunately this activity has been changed due to unavoidable reasons. However the following events will take place on the day:
1) A workshop has been scheduled for 2-3 February 1998, in which wetlands forum experts from various organisations will address wetlands issues in Thailand. The Office of Environmental Policy and Planning (OEPP), Thailand, has organized this workshop which aims at disseminating information on the national inventory of wetlands in Thailand.
2) Wetlands International - Thailand Programme has invited one school class of about 40 pupils and six of their teachers from a provincial school in Southern Thailand (the Srinakarin Vittayanukroh School in Nathawi district) for a special wetland educational day. The activities will include (a) a video show from the documentaries, "Wet Wonderland" (produced by Ramsar Center Japan) and "The Forgotten Forest" (on mangroves, produced by Panorama Documentary Co. Ltd.) at the Wetlands International office at Prince of Songkla University in Hat Yai, (b) a visit to the Mangrove Forest Rehabilitation and Seed Production Center of the Royal Forest Department in Satun (where Khun Wasarit Srisawatt will educate the children about mangrove forests and show them around on a boardwalk through the adjacent mangrove forest, a charcoal production center (kilns) and the replanting nursery and center, and (c) food and drinks to celebrate the day. The Prince of Songkla University will make a bus available to transport the children from Nathawi to Hat Yai, Satun and back.
3) The bird conservation society has organized activities to carry out waterbird surveys at Sampran and other parts through the Gulf of Thailand.
We hope you'll enjoy your world wetlands day!

zinni™ by Garnet Hill Yoga Mat 19 19
beautiful and great size This mat makes you want to do more! it is so pretty--great color! Generous length for the taller practitioners! Very nice, and great price, too! August 22, 2014
Nice pattern and length This mat looks adorable, is not slippery and is long enough for tall person. It is not very thick, which is the reason I gave it 4 stars, I use another two gym yoga mats underneath. Great value on sale of the day! August 1, 2014
too thin This yoga mat has a great sticky texture and a cute design. However, because it is so thin, it moves around when you are more active. For example, when I tried to do bicycle ab work, the mat bunched up under my body. It might be okay if you only do static yoga poses, or if you want something you can easily transport to a yoga class. I need a yoga mat that I can use for a variety of workouts, so I will be sending it back. May 23, 2014
Fun Mat It's always nice to have your own yoga mat and nicer to have one with a fun graphic. Thanks Garnet Hill! April 15, 2014
Fun mat Ditto to all the positive comments! My only suggestion would be to have an optional carrying bag with shoulder strap. February 6, 2014
Nice long mat I love that this mat is so long, long enough for tall people! It is also nice to have a mat with a design, it stands out from the crowd. April 9, 2013

While we are on the subject of big polluting industries, I thought I would slip in this dig at the Clean Coal lobby. Directed by the Academy award winning Coen Brothers and produced by Reality.org, this is a great rebuttal to the adds that must be all over US TV. There is no such thing as Clean Coal. Enjoy!

Permit Me to Make a Difference
Would you believe that I received an email at 1630 letting me know that the Today Tonight article would air at 1830. It must have been a last minute inclusion. The really funny thing was that I didn't check my email until 1820. A few frantic phone calls later to friends and family, we sat back and watched the show. Now you can watch it as well. Sit back, grab some [Continue Reading …]
Welcome Today Tonight Viewers
Today Tonight ran the story this evening at 1830. It was about the emissions reductions that ordinary Australians are increasingly making that, under the proposed CPRS, will not make one bit of difference to this country's overall GHG emissions. A sorry state of affairs, and one that needs to be corrected before the legislation goes through parliament. GetUp! also have a [Continue Reading …]
Marinated Feta
From this..... To this...... I added a sprig of rosemary, thyme and oregano. 2 dried and crumbled birds-eye chilies, and a liberal grinding of black pepper. Then top it all off with some nice extra virgin olive oil. The recipe I followed recommended at least a week in the fridge for the flavours to infuse into the cheese. I think I will give it two. The [Continue Reading …]
Fun at the SLF
What a huge weekend! On Friday, I helped man the ATA stall at the Sustainable Living Festival. It was a great morning, and so many people were after information about renewable energy. I met so many interesting people who were contemplating a Solar PV installation or had just ordered one. I let each one know about what Renewable Energy Certificates were all about, and my [Continue Reading …]
And The Lucky Winner Is…
Drum roll please....Holly from Melbourne, come on down. You are the winner of the Greening of Gavin Giveaway!You may wonder why I only selected 29 eligable contestants. Well that is because my sister (didn't want the prize), Lisa, and Wombat064 commented twice, so I only thought it far to the others that I subtract their second comments.So thanks to; Babs, LashyLashla, nfmgirl, Chiot's Run, [Continue Reading …]
Sustainable Living Festival
If you are near Federation Square, Melbourne tomorrow, don't forget to drop by the ATA stand and say hello. I will be helping to run the stand first thing in the morning from about 0930 to 1200, but will definitely hang around the festival for most of the day. I am very excited at the prospect of maybe meeting just one of my readers, but am equally excited about just being at the [Continue Reading …]
Happy Blogiversary!
It was about this time last year that I wrote my first post on this humble web log. Little did I know back then when I penned my first post, of the events that would unfold, and the doors that would open. It has been a great ride, with many more interesting and topical posts to come. Oh, what fun it has been and I would like to thank every single visitor who has dropped by.

Homemade Feta, or Gromit I Found the Cheese!
"Well done lad", said Wallace. "You found the cheese!"Yesterday was a monumental day. I made cheese Gromit! All my life I have wanted to give it a go, but never made the time or found the opportunity. Since trying to live a more sustainable lifestyle, I have seized as many opportunities as I can, and willing to learn new skills where I can. This golden opportunity was [Continue Reading …]
Where's the Cheese, Gromit?
Sorry about this, but no cheese making post tonight. I am very tired, after having just made a ramekin worth of ricotta out of the whey I produced today. I chose to make Fetta, and it is not quite ready to present in all its glory. It is still drying on a rack in the kitchen, and will be brined tomorrow. So I believe that instead of posting half of the method, I will wait [Continue Reading …]

A Bit Quiet
I have been a bit quiet of late. I suppose there is a two fold reason. One, out of respect for the victims of the bushfires, and tribute to the survivors, and two I have been busy every night trying to finalise the carbon inventory for the ATA before I start the final report.I didn't realise that the assignments would take up so much time, but at least I am enjoying every minute of it. It [Continue Reading …]
Community Giving
The news about the bushfires that are only about 100km to the north and east of me is devastating. Over 170 dead, and nearly 1000 homes lost. It would have to be one of the biggest natural disasters in Australian history. I can see the massive clould of smoke to the north of the city from my office on the 30th floor. It seems so sureal that it is so close.I feel so sad, and so does Kim. I [Continue Reading …]
Carbon Accounting Day 3
Today was the last day of classroom time for the Carbon Accounting course that I have been attending at Swinburne Uni. It was a very interesting day, and each class member gave a presentation about the inventory that they are developing. There was a broad spectrum of entities that were represented. From Offshore Oil recovery projects in Bass Strait, a major passenger rail operator in [Continue Reading …]
I feel a bit weird posting this tonight. After having just watched the local Victorian news about the bushfires across Victoria and New South Wales, and I really feel for the family's that are grieving tonight, with some having lost loved ones, homes, or both. A very sad day indeed. Both Kim and I were in tears when we saw the extent of the devastation. Some of the worst [Continue Reading …]
Over At The Co-op
My humble apologies for not posting much this week. It has been very hectic here at TGOG's house, what with the record temperatures of 47C (that's 116.6F), trying to keep the veggie patch and chickens alive, and working on my assignment for the Carbon Accounting course that is due today! My main post for today is over at the Simple|Green|Frugal Co-op and is titled Clean Renewable Energy - [Continue Reading …]
Living The Good Life
Just taking it easy at TGOG's urban farm. We have been harvesting sweetcorn, cucumbers, a multitude of tomatoes, herbs, capsicums, snow peas, blood plums, a variety of lettuce, Swiss rainbow chard, and Jalapeno chilies. Tonight I made tomato jam, and added a bit of mixed spice to the recipe. It tastes great. It was so simple in the bread maker. I added 500gm of peeled [Continue Reading …]
Cartoon Time
When I was a kid, I loved a good cartoon with a message. When I grew up and had kids, I still liked cartoons with a eco message like Captain Planet. I liked it so much that I wrote about it. It has been quite a while since I posted a few videos on the blog, so tonight, here are a few good ones with an eco message.

text: You're referring to the veterans I was lucky enough to interview last weekend for a project I'm helping with. We did film some really great and fascinating stories about their service, but the vet who told us the JFK story didn't want it filmed, so we respected that. The stories (there were actually two JFK stories that he had) weren't really all that risque, but since he told it privately and off-camera, I don't think it's my place to share it publicly.

Gift from the Sea
by Lindbergh, Anne Morrow
Print this page
Email this list
1. The author wrote these meditations for herself while she was at the beach away from her everyday life. What opportunities does the beach offer any busied travelers who comes?
2. In looking at the Channeled Whelk, Lindbergh looks both outside and inside the shell and comes to what conclusions for women living lives of multiplicity?
3. The Moon Shell is described as solitude, roundness, the moon replete with power, and an island among other things. What lessons are there for the 1950s- 1960s woman as well as for todays woman who examine the core of this shell?
4. Lindbergh uses the word Zerrissenheit or torn-to-pieces-hood a few times in her meditations. What ideas does she give the reader to avoid this?
5. The Double Sunrise shell has two flawless halves with a single hinge making the viewer contemplate the perfection of a pure relationship such as the beginning of a male/female or motherhood relationship. But Lindbergh goes on to say that together aloneness is valid and pure but not permanent. What does she mean by this?
6. The Oyster Bed shell is compared to the middle years of marriage and family. What changes in life remind us of the authors view of the Oyster Bed shell?
7. The Argonauta shell presents an image for women in the second half of life. It suggests freedom in later years. Was Lindberg happy in her Argonauta stage?
8. In the last two chapters, the author looks at how looking at the future, how global awareness and social consciousness sometimes takes away appreciation of the present. Is the newer generation of women happier than those mothers from the 1950s and 1960s?
9. Will you make any changes in your life after reading this book?

42 U.S. Code § 299a–1 - Research on health disparities
prev | next
(a) In general
The Director shall—
(1) conduct and support research to identify populations for which there is a significant disparity in the quality, outcomes, cost, or use of health care services or access to and satisfaction with such services, as compared to the general population;
(2) conduct and support research on the causes of and barriers to reducing the health disparities identified in paragraph (1), taking into account such factors as socioeconomic status, attitudes toward health, the language spoken, the extent of formal education, the area or community in which the population resides, and other factors the Director determines to be appropriate;
(3) conduct and support research and support demonstration projects to identify, test, and evaluate strategies for reducing or eliminating health disparities, including development or identification of effective service delivery models, and disseminate effective strategies and models;
(4) develop measures and tools for the assessment and improvement of the outcomes, quality, and appropriateness of health care services provided to health disparity populations;
(5) in carrying out section 299a (c) of this title, provide support to increase the number of researchers who are members of health disparity populations, and the health services research capacity of institutions that train such researchers; and
(b) Research and demonstration projects
(1) In general
In carrying out subsection (a) of this section, the Director shall conduct and support research and support demonstrations to—
(A) identify the clinical, cultural, socioeconomic, geographic, and organizational factors that contribute to health disparities, including minority health disparity populations, which research shall include behavioral research, such as examination of patterns of clinical decisionmaking, and research on access, outreach, and the availability of related support services (such as cultural and linguistic services);
(B) identify and evaluate clinical and organizational strategies to improve the quality, outcomes, and access to care for health disparity populations, including minority health disparity populations;
(C) test such strategies and widely disseminate those strategies for which there is scientific evidence of effectiveness; and
(2) Use of certain strategies
In carrying out this section, the Director shall implement research strategies and mechanisms that will enhance the involvement of individuals who are members of minority health disparity populations or other health disparity populations, health services researchers who are such individuals, institutions that train such individuals as researchers, members of minority health disparity populations or other health disparity populations for whom the Agency is attempting to improve the quality and outcomes of care, and representatives of appropriate tribal or other community-based organizations with respect to health disparity populations. Such research strategies and mechanisms may include the use of—
(A) centers of excellence that can demonstrate, either individually or through consortia, a combination of multi-disciplinary expertise in outcomes or quality improvement research, linkages to relevant sites of care, and a demonstrated capacity to involve members and communities of health disparity populations, including minority health disparity populations, in the planning, conduct, dissemination, and translation of research;
(B) provider-based research networks, including health plans, facilities, or delivery system sites of care (especially primary care), that make extensive use of health care providers who are members of health disparity populations or who serve patients in such populations and have the capacity to evaluate and promote quality improvement;
(C) service delivery models (such as health centers under section 254b of this title and the Indian Health Service) to reduce health disparities; and
(c) Quality measurement development
(1) In general
To ensure that health disparity populations, including minority health disparity populations, benefit from the progress made in the ability of individuals to measure the quality of health care delivery, the Director shall support the development of quality of health care measures that assess the experience of such populations with health care systems, such as measures that assess the access of such populations to health care, the cultural competence of the care provided, the quality of the care provided, the outcomes of care, or other aspects of health care practice that the Director determines to be important.
(2) Examination of certain practices
The Director shall examine the practices of providers that have a record of reducing health disparities or have experience in providing culturally competent health services to minority health disparity populations or other health disparity populations. In examining such practices of providers funded under the authorities of this chapter, the Director shall consult with the heads of the relevant agencies of the Public Health Service.
(3) Report
Not later than 36 months after November 22, 2000, the Secretary, acting through the Director, shall prepare and submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a report describing the state-of-the-art of quality measurement for minority and other health disparity populations that will identify critical unmet needs, the current activities of the Department to address those needs, and a description of related activities in the private sector.
(d) Definition
For purposes of this section:
(1) The term "health disparity population" has the meaning given such term in section 285t of this title, except that in addition to the meaning so given, the Director may determine that such term includes populations for which there is a significant disparity in the quality, outcomes, cost, or use of health care services or access to or satisfaction with such services as compared to the general population.
(2) The term "minority", with respect to populations, refers to racial and ethnic minority groups as defined in section 300u–6 of this title.

PhysicsQuest is a story-based activity that exposes middle school students to the fun and relevance of science. APS provides a free PhysicsQuest kit to registered 6-9th grade physical science classes, home school groups, science clubs, and after-school programs. The kit includes a user's manual and materials for four physics experiments.
PhysicsQuest: Spectra's Quantum Leap
We'd like to thank everyone for submitting their answers this year, and the winners will be announced shortly. Also, registration for next year's kit will open later this fall.
Tesla Junior High is in ruins after H. Toueaux destroyed the gym during the big swim meet. The gang is scattered among 3 different middle schools as they wait for their school to be rebuilt. When Lucy's mom takes their ancient mini-van to Black Body Repair she gets a little more than she bargained for. Owner and chief mechanic Pauli Black gives the van more than new brakes, she gives it a quantum kick. Can Spectra's laser powers stop The Quantum Mechanic's super powered machines from wreaking havoc on their small town? With the gang so spread out, Spectra will have to use both her laser powers and the quantum additions to her mom's mini-van to save the day.
If you didn't register in time, it's ok. You can still be part of PhysicsQuest! You can Download the manual, including the comic and its activities, and create your own kit.
We hope everyone had a great time with this year's PhysicsQuest!

My husband bought these for the new craftsman tool chest I bought him for Christmas. He loved them and is thinking he needs another set. It is great for those smaller items you don't want rolling around in the drawers.

Good idea, bad execution. You're better off buying aluminum angle stock at a home improvement store. Much more sturdy and customizable. Use magnetic tape on the bottom or sticky tape...even screws if you have bigger, heavy tools.

you do get tape enough for all T connectors. I have my drawers lined so I just cut out where the t conectors are. Itt great for deviding drawers wit light tools or parts but not for heavy tools

I use them in my driver drawer to seperate them into seperate sections and it works well but I'm not a fan of how they only came with sticky tape for the base feet and not the whole length of the bar. Do youself a favore and pick up some extra double sided tape to make sure the deviders are nice and secure.
