Two Baylor students were arrested in connection with a recent drug operation that police believe sells more than $30,000 of drugs a month to Baylor students.
Police arrested four people back in August who were accused of running a drug operation that sells approximately $30,000 to $40,000 worth of marijuana a month to Baylor students.
As part of that investigation, 22-year-old Baba Fahnbeullen and 19-year-old Jay Kumar were arrested following a search warrant served October 1.
This anti-drug operation involves McGregor PD, other police departments and Baylor PD. Joe Coy with McGregor PD says mushrooms, marijuana, ecstasy, and adderall were recovered after a search warrant was served Oct. 1.
Arrest warrants were obtained for Fahnbeullen and Kumar following the search.
Kumar was arrested by Hubbard police when they stopped to check on a group of fraternity members who were being dropped off at a cemetery there. When police ran the names of the group, the warrant for Kumar was discovered and he was taken into custody.
More arrests are expected in this drug ring near the Baylor campus.

Carter is better known as the rapper Lil Wayne. For my money, compared to departed rappers like Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., Carter is a no-talent hack. But this is America, and if you find enough people to like what you do, you can become rich and famous. Even if you are a...

First Trax :: Daily News
Tubing All Around
The combination of natural and manmade snow over the past few days has given the resorts the luxury to turn their snowguns from their primary trails and open up more terrain and extend their hours. Sugar, Appalachian, Beech, Wintergreen, and Massanutten have all opened for night skiing. Tubing returned to the area in a big way this weekend with the opening of the Frozen Fall Tube Park at Sapphire Valley and the Plunge at Wintergreen. Snowshoe and Canaan expanded their options by opening their tube parks as well, which just leaves Winterplace as the final WV resort to open their tube runs.
On the opening more terrain front, Timberline has opened up their 2 mile run, Salamander and is running on 10 of their 40 trails with 2" of new natural on the ground. Snowshoe opened up Silver Creek and is now skiing from 9am – 9pm. Massanutten has opened ParaDice and is operating with two of their three black diamonds today – Diamond Jim is the other. Massanutten has been busy and is opening the CMB Terrain Park today as well.
I got up early this morning and started looking at the resort cams and everywhere I looked you could see signs of life at the resorts – even at 6:30.
Thanks for all the hard work and long hours everyone – we certainly do appreciate it.
Things are looking really good for the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic resorts right now. We're in the middle of December and just about all of our resorts are open with good skiing and riding all around. A number of our resorts have seen natural snow in the past few days and more is in the forecast today for many.
I want to take a quick second and thank everyone who contacted me yesterday. A lot of you liked the tour of Appalachian, Sugar, and Beech I did on Friday the 13th. You can check out the trip report here if you missed it. I had a blast doing it and would love to do more – although I'm still having a difficult time getting around due to my early season legs. It would be really cool to put together a Ski West Virginia and a Ski Virginia tour – how long would it take to ski all the resorts in WV or VA? There would be a little more traveling required between resorts, so I imagine it would take a couple of days. I'll have to schedule those a little better so hopefully we'll be able to make a few turn while I'm visiting.
It's the last day of the weekend – why not get outside.

I made this for Thanksgiving last year. It was moist and my guests loved it. However, my complaint was that the seasonings had not gotten into the meat of the bird, and I still felt I needed gravy for flavor. I will try brining my bird this year.
Sugar-and-Spice Cured Turkey
- 1 (12-pound) whole turkey
- 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

- Place turkey on a rack in a roasting pan, breast side up. Arrange onion quarters around turkey. Pour 2 cans broth in bottom of pan.
- Bake, loosely covered with foil, at 325° for 1 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake 1 1/2 more hours or until meat thermometer registers 180°. (Cover with foil to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.) Remove onion; discard, reserving pan drippings. Let turkey stand 15 minutes before carving.

VMware Inc. markets several virtualization products which allow multiple virtual computers to run on a single system. For more information visit the following URL.
Local exploitation of an untrusted library path vulnerability in multiple products distributed by VMware Inc. could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
The Linux version of VMware products include a program called 'vmware-authd', which is installed set-uid root. When this program is executed, it reads configuration options from the executing user's VMware configuration file. One such option allows the user to specify the directory in which to look for shared library modules needed by the program. By loading a specially crafted library, an attacker can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Exploitation of this vulnerability results in the execution of arbitrary code with root privileges. In order to exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must have access to execute the set-uid vmware-authd binary on an affected system. No additional credentials are needed.
iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in the following VMware products.
VMware Workstation 126.96.36.199824 for Linux VMware GSX Server 220.127.116.1197 for Linux VMware ESX Server 126.96.36.199039
All versions of all products which include a set-uid vmware-authd binary are suspected to be vulnerable.
To prevent exploitation of this vulnerability, modify the file permissions for the vmware-authd set-uid binary. Possible choices include removing the set-uid bit, or only allowing members of a trusted group to execute the binary.
VMware has addressed this vulnerability by release new versions of their products. For more information, consult their advisory at the following URL.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name CVE-2008-0967 to this issue. This is a candidate for inclusion in the CVE list (http://cve.mitre.org/), which standardizes names for security problems.

Blogs > Sara Gutterman > May 2012
Yesterday, Green Builder Media interviewed Laura Storm, executive director of Sustainia on our Impact Series: Game Changers in Sustainability webinar program.
As former Director of the Copenhagen Climate Council and the World Business Summit on Climate Change, Storm has a great deal of experience in working with world leaders to tackle challenging climate topics.
During the interview, Storm referenced the general disappointment that people felt after the 2009 Copenhagen climate talks. All talk and no action, according to countless critics. Perhaps the topics were too broad to fully comprehend, the ideas too esoteric to transform from concepts into tasks.
Storm cited some interesting lessons learned from the 2009 meetings that she hopes won't be replicated when the next round of RIO+ 20 global climate talks begin on June 20, 2012 in Rio de Janeiro.
Communications failed in 2009 because the messaging was simply too complicated to create global momentum. People couldn't relate to the climate language that was being used. For some reason, words like carbon emissions, joint implementation, clean development mechanisms, and emissions trading schemes just didn't get the juices flowing.
Furthermore, the gloom and doom messages that were used to describe the apocalyptic end that's right around the corner unless we all immediately start riding our bikes to work, wearing hemp clothing, and eating nothing but organic broccoli didn't seem to resonate with the crowd. Fear just wasn't a good motivator for a group of people who traveled from countries around the world with the hope of walking away with real solutions—instead, it caused distance and even disillusionment.
This year, Storm is eagerly anticipating a new approach for the climate meetings. She hopes that leaders can use language that inspires and engages the throngs of people who will be in attendance. She has encouraged Sustainia founders Governor Schwarzenegger and European Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard to focus on existing green technologies rather than abstract future concepts.
There's some sage advice for all of us in Storm's words—sustainability discussions don't have to be complex or scary or polarizing. Inspiring images, simple language, smart technology, and existing solutions may be all that we need to create the momentum for a sustainable future. As Henry Ford said, 'Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right.'

Former U.S. Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan once said that "Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
Around the world, we're witnessing governments, corporations, and individuals making proactive, deliberate choices that reflect the prioritization of environmental considerations. Ideas abound about how we can build the cities of tomorrow, create an economy of abundance, and develop actualized societies.
There is a myriad of organizations that are designing innovative solutions for a sustainable future. Green Builder Media recently discovered Sustainia, a group founded by global leaders like Arnold Schwarzenegger (Former Governor of California and Founder of R20 Climate Group), Connie Hedegaard (European Commissioner for Climate Action), Dr. Dajendra Pachauri (Chair of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and others to craft real political, economic, and social solutions for sustainable world.
Sustainia has correctly identified that, 'We embrace things that hold promise for our lives--things that make us happier, healthier, and wealthier.' The group has also rightly recognized that sustainability has very real political, economic, and social benefits today, making it a compelling factor in the way we think about everything from our homes and cities, to transportation and energy sources, even to fashion and food.
On May 30 at 9:00 PT/12:00 ET, join Green Builder Media President Ron Jones as he interviews Sustainia Executive Director Laura Strom on our Impact Series: Game Changers in Sustainability webinar program about the strategies that Sustainia and its partners, including global corporations such as General Electric, Microsoft, CISCO, and IKEA, are generating to build a greener future.
As former Director of the Copenhagen Climate Council and the World Business Summit on Climate Change, Ms. Storm is no stranger to forward-thinking leaders or challenging climate projects. Click here to register for what promises to be a truly enlightening webinar program.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, author of The Little Prince, said that, "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign the tasks and work, but rather, teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."
This quote leads me to reflect on the distinction between the muddled climate change debate going on in our country and our very real need for a sustainable future.
The billboards posted recently by the Heartland Institute inferring that only crazy people like Unabomber Ted Kacynski still believe in climate change demonstrated how polarized our country is when it comes to the climate change debate. But the unspoken truth is the debate over climate change is just a diversion.
At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how we feel about things like melting polar ice caps, rising levels of water and air pollution, mono-crop agriculture, or increasing global temperatures. What matters is that our world is undeniably becoming increasingly more resource constrained, and it will take all hands on deck—from all walks of life—to shift debate into action.
Sustainability is not about a standoff between scientists. It's about implementing intelligent solutions.
If we're getting stuck on semantics, then we need to transform our lexicon to prove that we can create a more comfortable, profitable, enjoyable, colorful, and livable world through sustainable solutions.
Where is the nexus between adaptation and mitigation, hope and despair, politics and innovation? How do we create a shared vision for our future that creates change, not distance?

Best-selling author and Jungian psychoanalyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes once said, "Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach."
Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Shiano embodied the essence of this quote yesterday when he drafted Eric LeGrand. Shiano had coached LeGrand at Rutgers, where LeGrand's promising football career was ended prematurely in 2010 during game in which he suffered a serious spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed.
Shiano stated that he drafted LeGrand to "recognize his character, spirit, and perseverance", and to showcase the qualities that he is looking for in "Buccaneer Men." Despite the fact that LeGrand will never play for the Buccaneers, Shiano fulfilled LeGrand's dream of becoming part of the NFL while simultaneously reminding the rest of us that thoughtful decisions can lead to remarkable transformation.
As I ponder our ability to affect positive change in the world around us, the circuitous journey of my mind conjures images of the true heroes of our industry. From green building pioneers John Wesley Miller (builder of the Biosphere) and Colorado developer John Kurowski, to visionary influencers like Green Builder Media's own President Ron Jones, to market transformers like CR Herro (VP Environmental Affairs, Meritage Homes) and Jacob Attalla (Senior Director of Sustainability Initiatives at KB Home), there are countless numbers of individuals dedicated to the sustainability revolution.
I am encouraged.
Robert Kleiman, Co-Founder of Structure Home, builder of Green Builder Media's VISION House Los Angeles, understands what it means to leverage our work to consciously alter the world around us. He says that "making meaningful change to old paradigms is necessary to preserve the health and well-being of our people and our planet. The VISION House Los Angeles is an effort that represents, encourages and fosters such change. If we embrace this change and allow our creative spirit to flourish, then the future will be very promising indeed."
And Robert is right. Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting the VISION House LA as it crosses the threshold into the last phases of construction. Upon entering the stunning Californian contemporary home with its sleek lines and perfectly blended natural elements, I was not only taken by its beautiful design and advanced green products, I was embraced by something much more subtle—an undeniable sense of balance, peace, and place. This home has a powerful visceral affect that makes a visitor want to stay for a long time, wrapped in the comfort of the home's tranquility.
The VISION House LA is one of a plethora of green homes across the country that is infusing its finishes with intention, its building envelope with compassion, and its intelligent systems with consciousness with the goal of making the dream of a sustainable, self-actualized life real for a future homeowner.
We're not just building homes, we're improving lives. How do you stretch yourself to mend the part of the world that is in your reach?
We invite you to join us at the launch of the VISION House Los Angeles on June 10, 2012 from 11am to 5pm. For more information about the project or debut event, visit http://www.greenbuildermag.com/VISION-HOUSE/VISION-House-Los-Angeles, write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com, follow me on Twitter @SaraGBM.

Frankie Edgars Wife Is a Mess During Fight Week
Frankie Edgar on Renee Edgar:
"I truly feel like I've never gone through this journey by myself and this can be a lonely sport. It's all on you when you are in there and you are pushing yourself to the limit," Edgar said. "I drive all over, I'm here in [Hamilton] or I'm driving to [New York City] or I'm driving to train in Philly and you spend a lot of that time solo. But to have someone to share it all with makes it easier. She's been with me since college as far as me competing. She knows how to handle me and how much this means to me and it's great to share this with her."

General David Petraeus has been making headlines for his extramarital love-affair and his lack of judgement during the Benghazi attacks on the US consulate in Libya among other things, but the mainstream media has not held Petraeus accountable for his controversial action during his military career. So what is going on with the fourth estate? Retired Colonel Morris Davis joins us with more on Petraeus' career and relation with the media.

At war for the last decade?????? What about the previous 200 years of war on almost every country you can think of.

We bet our fellow teammates in Seoul breathe a collective sigh of relief every spring with the opening of the Hongdae Free Market. Why? This outdoor market is the perfect spot for us to finalize our game plans and prepare for the night ahead in one of Seoul's most happening neighbourhoods. Taking over Hongdae's central outdoor park every Saturday from 13:00 to 18:00 throughout the spring and summer, Hongdae Free Market is the bohemian alternative to the luxurious chain department stores around the city….dare we say it's a department store custom-made for the After Hours Athlete?
Make no mistake, the term "free market" isn't some Konglish riff on "flea market" – Konglish being the prevalent mashup of Korean and English spoken around the city – but rather a nod to Hongdae's status as the de facto HQ for independent artists and musicians to peddle their wares and debut their newest tunes. We hit up Hongdae last Saturday and waded through rows of booths to peep the original handmade crafts for sale, ranging from business card holders made of old cassette tapes (for when we mix work and pleasure) to creepily cool porcelain dolls that look straight out of Alice in Wonderland. At one booth, a design major from Hongik University (Seoul's prestigious art school, just footsteps away) hawks a line of original backpacks made from bicycle tires and old leather jackets; at the next, girls eagerly line-up to get abstract portraits done by an underground artist. Our soundtrack for the occasion? A three-piece band taking requests from the crowd and dishing out playful covers of soft rock jams.
Soon enough, the night beckons, and we're already situated in a prime area to make the most of it. Beyond the mainstream dance clubs and swanky lounges, Hongdae specializes in gritty bars and underground dives that showcase an embarrassment of local music riches. On the weekends, Club FF features stacked lineups of bands (with up to eight acts on a single bill, including local celebs Pink Elephant) before the dance floor opens up for an all-night party with some of Seoul's hottest DJs.
One of the oldest live music clubs here in Korea, Freebird, is also within striking distance, with live shows every night of the week (except Tuesdays) and the now-legendary "Rock & Dance" parties anchoring Fridays and Saturdays until 06:00. And at DGBD, the rockabilly subculture is thriving – head over there to witness local stalwarts such as Galaxy Express and The Rocktigers tear the place down. To tide you over between stops, don't forget to stop by Vinyl (which you may remember from our AHA Seoul Triathlon) and pick up a cocktail or two in a plastic to-go bag.
From midday all the way through the break of dawn, from craft booths to packed dance floors and all points in between, Hongdae is the place to be this summer.

A Mission High School student athlete and her coach have been selected for honors by the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA). Outstanding girls track athlete Vanessa Rodriguez has been selected as a TGCA All Star. Her coach, Irene Gallegos, has been selected to be the TGCA Track and Field All Stars coach for conferences 4A and 5A.
Each year at the UIL State Track and Field Meet the Texas Girls Coaches Association (TGCA) Track Committee selects 15 girls from conferences 1A, 2A and 3A and 15 from conferences 4A and 5A as TGCA Track and Field All Stars. Selections are made from nominations submitted by member coaches with only high school seniors being eligible to be selected.
Rodriguez, who won the long jump and the 200m dash district championships this year and also placed second in the triple jump, is one of only two Valley girls to be selected as a TGCA All Star. She also placed second in the long jump, fourth in the triple jump and first in the 200m dash at the area meet, which made her a three event regional qualifier. She will be attending the TGCA Summer Clinic in Austin.
Lady Eagles' head track coach Gallegos was happy about being selected for this honor.
"I was selected by my TGCA Track Committee peers to be the TGCA Track All Star Coach at the summer clinic," explained Gallegos. "As such I was able to nominate a track assistant to help me and that will be Coach Sandra Guerrero from Sharyland.
"I am very excited about this because it gives us an opportunity to have athletes and coaches from down here in the Valley, and not just from other parts of the state, recognized," said Gallegos.
The 30 girls selected as all stars will be part of the three-day-long program aimed at helping anybody that teaches girls' sports become better coaches.
"Being that it's a clinic, the all stars will participate in demo sessions that coaches such as myself will put on," explained Gallegos. "Each coach will have a certain demo to do. My session will be on warming up, grass drills and things like that. And I will use a couple of girls, especially Vanessa, as part of my demo."
"I will be representing 4A and Sandra Guerrero will be representing 5A," added Gallegos. "She will be my assistant during my demo, but as part of the staff she will also be putting on a demo of her own to the clinic."
The track and cross country all star girls and coaches will be recognized and honored at the awards presentation ceremony during the half-time of the All Stars basketball game on Friday, July 12, at 11 a.m. at the Burger Activity Center in Austin.

Welcome to the Camphill Communities of Ireland website
In Camphill, we believe that mutual support and respect for each other create a healthy environment for healing and development.
We offer homes for children, young people, and adults with intellectual disabilities and other special needs - to live, learn, and work with others in energetic reciprocal relationships.
Everyone's contribution is valued and individuality is recognised. We acknowledge every person's right to equality and self-determination, and encourage participation in decision-making in work, social, cultural, spiritual, and home life. We Have 18 Special Needs Communities
In the Republic of Ireland we have 18 communities with around 500 people that are mostly land-based, where we endeavour to create places that promote healing and growth in and around nature.
Care for the land is a central part of our work. Our communities practice bio-dynamic agriculture, offering great opportunities for our people to work with organic farming and gardening methods.
Some of our communities are located in urban places, where we run shops and cafes that sell our farm or garden produce, crafts, and baked goods.
Life-sharing is our Way of Life
We meet each other as individuals and form a community working together in the households and workshops, whether it is in the bakery, pottery or weaving shop, or in the farm or garden. By helping each other fulfil a task, we enrich ourselves and empower the other to develop further in their own special way.
Through our daily work we follow a rhythm of awaking to life and carrying out what needs to be done in the course of the day. And in the evening when we go back to our houses, we settle back to reflect on our deeds and prepare for the next day's challenges.
We Learn from Each OtherWe give of ourselves and take from the other, in a constant gesture of mutuality that allows us to flourish and grow with one another every day, through the seasons, in rhythm with the ebb and flow of life.
Whatever we do in community, as individuals and as a group, our residents and volunteer co-workers weave a pattern of reciprocal relationships wherein our deeds find their corresponding echoes in the actions of the other.
Having a Spiritual Life is Essential
Honouring the natural kingdom and spiritual world that nurture and sustain us is an essential component of Camphill life. We uphold Christian values in our Sunday services and Bible evenings. We are very much conscious of the seasons of the year and celebrate their festivals in various ways, through plays or harvest offerings, music or dancing in the halls, or just through a few moments of prayer and silence.
We Work as Volunteers
We value our work differently. Most of our co-workers are volunteers, and don't get paid according to the amount of work we do, but according to our individual needs. Some of us have families, and they form part of our community. Young co-workers usually come for a year of practical experience and then they leave to take up further studies. See Volunteering in Camphill.
This website provides more information about the Camphill Communities in Ireland for anyone interested in learning more about our work - for prospective volunteers from abroad, local volunteers, students taking a gap year, or for those who have a relative with special needs.

How can you be with me
When I am with you
but in your minds reel?
Tell me,
how I can be without your love
when I am with you vividly
but in my dream?
I know where the peaks are,
The creeks and the springs you go to,
to fetch your water
that flows without borders…
And I see the mountains,
Where you climb your doubts
And find your place.
Can you come down
make your peace?

S&P's euro threat drags down gold
Prices fall with the euro after Standard & Poor's puts 15 European nations on a negative credit watch.
Gold prices were falling Tuesday on a firmer U.S. dollar, perplexing traders and analysts who are waiting for a breakout.
Gold (-GC) for February delivery was down $11.60 at $1,722.90 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Gold has traded as high as $1,728.30 and as low as $1,705.70 an ounce while the spot price was down $10.10, according to Kitco's gold index.
Silver (-SI) was rising 8 cents at $32.46 an ounce while the U.S. dollar index was flat at $78.60.
Gold prices were sliding lower along with the euro as investors stayed skittish after Standard & Poor's put 15 European nations, including Germany, on credit watch negative, along with Europe's bailout fund, the European Financial Stability Fund.
S&P also stated that how Europe emerges from a two-day summit starting Friday will be key in determining any ratings changes. The big proposal on the table is stronger fiscal consolidation between the 17 nations that use the euro. Other eurozone countries won't have any say in national budgets, but there will be legal ramifications for implementation and sanctions if any of the countries doesn't meet its 3% deficit target.
Related Articles
But some experts think even this proposal isn't enough. Phil Streible, senior commodities broker at R.J. O'Brien, says fiscal consolidation would be disappointing. "If they don't come out and provide additional stimulus then I think it is going to be disappointing and the euro currency goes down. I think gold comes down to $1,700 before it bounces."
Streible says that if European leaders do something positive, which in his view would entail more stimulus, then the euro would rally and take gold with it towards $1,800 an ounce.
The problem with gold is that it's not acting like it should. Panic in the eurozone should be triggering haven buying. Instead, the stronger U.S. dollar is weighing on prices. Meanwhile, gold and stocks have been trading in tandem of late. Ordinarily a boost in investor confidence would fuel a rally in stocks and a slump in gold, as traders move money into riskier assets. However, the metal has been trading in lockstep with stocks as investors liquidate gold positions during stock-market sell-offs to cover losses.
Not only has gold's identity been murky, but prices are testing a very important support area, which if breached could lead to significant downside.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) wrote in a recent note that gold was starting to test the 26-day moving average. Since November 2008, the gold price has crossed below this area only twice and has not stayed below that level for two weeks in a row. Instead gold has mounted a 10% rally, which would take current prices to $1,850 an ounce.
JPMorgan was skeptical that this kind of rally would happen. Over the past three years it has taken gold an average of 15 weeks to rally to 10% above the 26-day moving average, but since July 2011, the gold price has taken only 5 weeks to bounce, which signals peak territory.
"I was looking at the technical analysis," says Mihir Dange, trader and founder of Arbitrage, who is trying to find direction in the gold price. "I could see gold down to $1,400 in the next year or so or we could be setting up for another huge head and shoulders (pattern) . . . we could be trying to penetrate a new $2,000 high."
On the flip side, longer-term gold investors like Jim Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings, are unfazed by gold's bizarre price action of late. "I would just suggest that (a gold correction) is what should happen and if gold goes down I will be buying more." Rogers says if gold were to fall to $1,200 then he would buy a lot more. "Many assets go down about 40-50% over a year or two period -- that is not unusual at all."
Gold mining stocks were trading higher Tuesday. Barrick Gold (ABX) was rallying 1.2% at $51.09, while Newmont Mining (NEM) was gaining 1.3% to $66.85. Goldcorp (GG) was up 0.8% to $51.42, and NovaGold (NG) was surging 4.6% to $11.11.

I have owned property in different areas of Santa Cruz and Monterey counties for 28 years. I currently own property in Scotts Valley. The school taxes are overwhelming. I currently pay over $1,000 year in property taxes just for schools, and now we are faced with yet another school tax (Measure A) that would cost me another $300/year or more in school taxes. To top it off, our kids are grown and gone. By the way, what happened to the California Lottery school funding?
According to Penny Weaver, superintendent of Scotts Valley Unified School District, "the actual tax rates and the years in which they will apply may vary from those presently estimated, due to variations from these estimates in the timing of bond sales, the amount of bonds sold and market interest rates at the time of each sale, and actual assessed valuations over the term of repayment of the bonds."
So, in other words, the school district is not even sure of the actual amount of taxes we are voting on. It sounds to me like there are no limits to what this new property tax could end up being. That is like voting to give the school district a blank check that the property owners of Scotts Valley are going to have to cash. This is another school tax we can't afford! All renters that think this is good thing, their kids get to go to top-notch schools and the cost will be shouldered by the property owners, think again. When property tax goes up, rents go up! I urge everyone to VOTE NO ON MEASURE A.

In a medium bowl, stir vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until sugar is dissolved. Add carrot and mango; toss to combine. Let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate up to a day.
Heat grill or grill pan to high; lightly oil grates. In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, ginger, and oil; season with salt and pepper. Add chicken and let marinate for no more than 5 minutes. Grill chicken until browned and opaque throughout, 1 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate to cool.
Thinly slice chicken; toss with carrot mixture. Divide mixture among lettuce leaves; drizzle with juice from carrots and sprinkle with cilantro.
If you can't locate a green (unripe) mango, pick a firm one. To store, refrigerate carrot and mango mixture, grilled chicken (unsliced), and cleaned lettuce leaves, separately, up to a day.
These are a great healthy (and delicious) appetizer! My husband's 12 year old brother even liked them, and he's hard to please!Reply

Deus Ex's Warren Spector Warns Against Going Overboard with Motion ControlsAs hardware makers rush to embrace motion-controlled gaming--Sony with the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Move, Microsoft with the Xbox 360's Project Natal, Razer and Sixense with the "Ultra-Precise Motion [PC] Controller"--industry old-timer Warren Spector has warned "we have to be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater."
"I think it's kind of weird...that we've sort of said, 'We've got 20, 30 years of people learning how to do this--sitting on their couch and having a good time, and knowing where the buttons are--and we're saying 'You've got to stand up and wave around and gesture,'" the Deus Ex veteran warned during a GDC 2010 luncheon attended by Gamasutra.
It's not that he's against motion-based controls--"I'm working on a Wii title and I'm loving it," Spector said of Juncture Point's upcoming Epic Mickey--but rather that he's cautious of what will happen if more traditional games and control schemes are abandoned.
"We're in the process of throwing away people--kids, adults--who know this stuff," said Spector. "I don't know if we want to throw away our entire history because we want to use gestural controls...I hope we keep our perspective a little more rational."

Hundreds of students and alumni from Pima Community College are expected to fill the streets today.
They are asking governing board members to step down.
Organizers want to make it clear that tonight is about supporting Pima Community College and saving Pima Pride.
Alumni and students from PCC are asking the community to join them in their stand tonight; they march to the Board meeting tonight, to ask four members to step down.
Tucson News Now spoke with the march's organizers who said this march is to support PCC, it is not negative. It is not a protest.
Stakeholder groups from within and many outside of PCC have issued votes of 'no confidence' and asked Governing Board members Brenda Even, Scott Stewart, David Longoria and Marty Cortez to resign.
This is after a report from the Higher Learning Commission that targeted college leadership. None of the board members have made any indication to resign.
Alumni and students marching today say the trust has been broken and they want new people on the Board.
PCC is making room for about 1,000 people tonight at the Board meeting. The college is also adding extra viewing areas inside and outside, just in case.
PCC alumni and students will be gathering at 5:30 p.m. at Burns Park near Swan and Broadway and will march to the board meeting from there.
The rally and march are open to the public.

Trees, Trimmings, and Tots
Christmas trees, trimmings, and tots are not completely incongruous concepts to link together, as long as you keep things realistic. When you have kids and want to celebrate the holidays with them, you need to keep one of the biggest symbols of Christmas–the tree–simple. Here are some suggestions:
- Let the kids pick out the tree. Okay, so if they point to a scrawny Charlie Brown-like tree, or, conversely, to a gigantic behemoth that won't fit through the front door, you have to step in. If your children aren't drawn to trees that would suit your home, give them choices between two or three trees so they feel they're part of the process.
- Pick your tree vendor according to your kids. There's a really charming tree farm near my house that I've been dying to go to. You take a hay ride out into the woods. You use an ax to chop down your tree. It's all so Currier and Ives. But I haven't brought my kids (ages five, five, and two) there yet. The two-year-old likely wouldn't put up with too much time in the cold, damp woods, and the vision of a scream-filled hay ride doesn't exactly put me in the holiday spirit. Until the kids are older, we'll stick with a tree lot. The one we go to offers free hot cider and a "talking" evergreen with googley eyes. We're out in 20 minutes, tops.
- Keep the breakables in storage. Yes, they're beautiful. Yes, they've graced your grandparents' Christmas trees for decades. But if you put those fragile decorations on your tree, know that you're taking a chance. You don't want to spend the entire Christmas season cordoning off the tree from your kids, constantly worried that you'll lose a piece of family history, or that a kid might toss a toy at the tree, knock off the ornament and have it shatter in his eye. If you simply can't have a Christmas without certain breakable treasures, put them in a pretty display far from the kids' reach.
- Clumps be darned. After weeding out your fragile trimmings, crank the Christmas tunes, break out the eggnog, and let the kids place the ornaments on the tree. (You can distribute awkwardly clustered decorations more evenly when the angel children are in bed.) We make a game out of having Daddy pick the kids up so they can put the decorations around the top of the tree.
- No tinsel. Whenever I think of these silvery strands, I remember my favorite movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," when Mary is helping the Bailey kids sprinkle threads of tinsel on the tips of the Christmas tree branches. But once my kids were born and began mouthing everything in sight, I decided to forgo the tinsel. It won't return to my family's Christmas tree until our littlest member no longer thinks it's great fun to stuff golf balls in his mouth.
Remember, your kids won't be crazy little wrecking machines forever. They'll eventually turn into sullen teens with absolutely zero interest in trimming the tree with Mom and Dad while Bing and Burl Ives croon in the background. There are plenty of years ahead for perfect Christmas trees, complete with tinsel and fragile ornaments. And by then, I'll be fondly remembering my sad-looking trees with the half-eaten strands of cranberries and popcorn dangling like hangman's nooses, and long for a moment of innocence.

Raley's on Tuesday demanded that its labor union let workers vote on its "last and final" contract offer.
The West Sacramento grocer hinted it could impose changes in work terms if there's no vote on the offer, which it submitted to leaders of the United Food and Commercial Workers nearly two weeks ago.
Raley's, like Northern California's other unionized grocery chains, wants concessions to compete against nonunion grocers. It made the offer in an effort to break a logjam that's lasted more than a year.
Union officials have dismissed the offer as inadequate and are seeking new talks "to at least clarify the proposal," according to UFCW Local 5 in San Jose.
In a memo to workers, Raley's Chief Executive Michael Teel said, "I cannot sit back while the union leadership refuses to call for a vote. This delay will only cause more economic harm resulting in more store closures and layoffs."
If there's no vote soon, the "lack of action will force Raley's to make significant changes," he added.
If Raley's were to implement new work terms unilaterally, it could provoke a walkout. Members of both locals 5 in San Jose and Local 8 in Roseville have already authorized a strike.
The union has said it's willing to help the company as it did in agreeing to a new cost-saving contract with Save Mart Supermarkets but it's demanding proof that Raley's is in financial trouble.
Teel said Raley's offered again to open its books. "This marks the second time we have shared our financial information with the union leadership," he wrote.
Local 5, in a memo on its website, said the federal mediator is trying to revive contract talks but "to date Raley's is refusing to agree to his request."

Pregnancy can be an uneasy time. It can be especially for women who are considered to be "high risk." Shavonne Zailcamp, who recently spoke with FOX 5 Health Reporter Beth Galvin, is one of those women.
A new non-invasive test is helping to provide Shavonne with some of the answers she needs about her pregnancy.
Shavonne says she thought she'd have to undergo an invasive screening test called amniocentesis. The medical procedure is used in prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal infections, as well as gender determination of the fetus.Shavonne, who's 35 and pregnant with her first baby, says she knows that at her age there's an increased risk of having a baby with Down syndrome or another chromosomal defect. The expectant mother went to Dr. Dexter Page, a specialist in high-risk pregnancies at Emory University Hospital. Shavonne says she had one question: Is her baby okay?"Because I'm considered high risk for Down Syndrome, and different abnormalities, so it was bigger concern of mine," she said.An ultrasound showed Dr. Page how Shavonne's baby is developing. However, with some of his patients, the doctor says he needs a closer look."Just in general, for patients that come to our office, there is a lot of anxiety. Most of the patients referred to us due to the fact there is a concern something might not be going well with their pregnancy," the doctor said.The amniocentesis is often the test that follows. A needle is inserted into Shavonne's belly to collect a sample of fetal cells from her amniotic fluid. Then, the sample is screened from chromosomal conditions, like Down syndrome and Trisomy 18 and 21. Still, the procedure is considered invasive.Dr. Page said, "The concern with any invasive procedure is there always is a chance of miscarriage."Shavonne said, "I wasn't too excited about that, that's why I chose a different route."A much easier route: a blood test. Instead of collecting cells from her amniotic fluid, the Harmony prenatal test harvests them from Shavnone's circulating blood. Those cells are studied in a lab for an excess of or missing chromosomes. It provides Dr. Page with a blueprint of Shavonne's baby's development.She said, "It's the same thing, it's going to give me the same results, and it's not as painful; and, I don't have something that's high-risk for my baby."Non-invasive pre-natal tests have limits. They won't detect neural serum defects, like spinal bifida. But, Dr. Page says they're highly accurate and give expectant parents some much-needed answers.Dr. Page says the blood test is only being offered to women considered to be high-risk, for now. But, he says there are several ongoing clinical trials to determine if the test is an effective tool for screening low-risk expectant mothers.

Film Interview
The Stars and Stripes of Oliver Stone
An interview with the director of World Trade Center
It's been a long, hot summer filled with heatwaves, monsoons and that pesky war in the Middle East. But Oliver Stone is sitting in a hotel room in Seattle looking surprisingly comfortable. Following one of his most high-profile failures (Alexander), Stone is about to shepherd the release of what looks to be his most controversial film to date, a real-life examination of the events surrounding 9/11. And yet, the famously contentious filmmaker is at ease, cheerfully answering questions about his successes and his shortcomings. What gives?
Film Review
World Trade Center
Oliver Stone looks back, not in anger
When Paul Greengrass' 9/11-inspired film United 97 hit theaters earlier this year, many moviegoers asked the question, "Are we ready for this?" People wondered if, as a nation, we were ready to confront that tragic day head-on. Given the relatively positive response the film received, the answer seems to be, "Maybe." But now comes Oliver Stone's high-profile tackling of that delicate day, World Trade Center. And, again, the question is being raised: "Are we ready for this?" Having seen and digested the film, I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that's the wrong question to be asking.
Idiot Box
If It's Too Loud, You're Too Old
"Metalocalypse" on Cartoon Network
The way I see it, Cartoon Network's Sunday night showcase of mature-minded cartoons--known far and wide as Adult Swim--is something akin to Bell Labs in the '60s. It's sort of an experimental haven in which radical new ideas are carried out--sometimes with disastrous results, sometimes with earth-shattering import. You never know what will result from this mad tinkering, but occasionally you end up with a carbon dioxide laser ... or an episode of "The Venture Brothers."

Yoga for Beginners Kit
Item# 05-60556
All of the basics for beginning your yoga practice
Gift wrapping available
Perfect for new students of yoga, the Yoga Beginners Kit has everything you need: a 40-minute beginners yoga DVD; the Yoga Alignment Mat takes the guesswork out of positioning in poses like Downward Dog; the cotton Yoga Strap (6'L) facilitates strain-free stretching; 1 Yoga Brick aligns your body correctly. America's favorite yoga teacher Rodney Yee guides the gentle workout DVD that can fit in any busy schedule. Mat measures 68"L x 24"W x 3mm. China.
Please note, DVD packaging may vary.
Print68"L x 24"W x 3mm
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 53 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Haiku Great tool for beginners I purchased this kit 2 weeks ago. The DVD instruction is helpful. I've been doing yoga daily since my purchase. Wonderful tool for people beginning and not able to attend a class regularly. May 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Nice, comprehensive beginner's kit This kit is great- it has all you need to hit the ground running as a beginner yogi! And the turquoise color is pretty too! The only think I don't like is that the buckle on the strap is metal (some are plastic) and so when the metal hits the ground or another object it is louder and harder than if the buckle were plastic. August 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by littlemagpie13 Love this beginner's kit! I've been wanting to get back into yoga ever since I took a class at school. I figured that I'd get a beginner's kit, since I thought I may be a little bit rusty. I love every item in the kit - especially the mat (of course)! The DVD is also very helpful for beginners, even though I didn't really need the prop intro. Many of the reviewers complained about the daily yoga stretch being too fast, but I always make it a point to watch a workout DVD BEFORE I use it in a workout, so that I know what to expect. Anyway, love it love it love it! August 27, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Syndria Must for beginners I have absolutely no experience with yoga and on suggestion from a friend came to Gaiam. This kit has everything you need to begin your path to wellness. The block and strap are almost essential for a first timer, they helped me understand the stability of each pose. One of the Dvd's shows you how to use them and WHY. Important for some. Very helpful for first timers. Rodney Yee has a very calming and clear voice. His instruction is simple and concise. For those beginning or those unable to find good beginner classes near by, this is an excellent start kit. The price can NOT be beat. December 29, 2009

Answer:3mm is a great basic yoga mat to get you started! If you have sensitive knees you may want to go with the 5mm mat for extra cushion. Otherwise, the 3mm Mat is perfect for a beginner!

Answer:The beginners yoga kit comes packaged all together in a single box. The mat is individually wrapped in plastic if you would prefer to give it away as a gift!

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The effort to remove the state sales tax from groceries is likely dead for another year.
Republican Sen. Gerald Dial of Lineville got a Senate committee to approve his bill to phase out the 4% state tax, but he said it is unlikely he can pass it with only five meeting days remaining in the legislative session. Democratic Rep. John Knight of Montgomery introduced a bill to remove the tax, but it never got brought up for a vote.
Jim Carnes of the Alabama Arise organization that represents Alabama's poor says the grocery tax issue appears dead for this session of the Legislature.
