Reeves Nelson's Defamation Lawsuit DismissedPosted: October 17, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Comments Off
A Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by former UCLA basketball player Reeves Nelson against Time Inc., the parent company of Sports Illustrated, and senior writer George Dohrmann.
Judge Mary Ann Murphy ruled yesterday that Nelson could not proceed with his defamation lawsuit against Sports Illustrated and Dohrmann in publishing "Not the UCLA Way" (Sports Illustrated, March 5, 2012). The story was the result of a two-month investigation chronicling the decline of the storied UCLA program in recent years, including conduct by Nelson that preceded his dismissal from the UCLA Basketball team late last year.
The court's lengthy ruling cited to evidence of Dohrmann's reliance on numerous sources and other extensive work in researching and writing the article.
Sports Illustrated's statement— "We have stood behind the reporting of our Pulitzer Prize winning writer since day one. We are pleased that after reviewing the case, the court agreed it should be dismissed."

"Hi, we're from Project HOPE," said the two young women, working together, as they approached on a well-trodden path along the treeline of an undeveloped field.
"Hi, I'm from Project Hopeless," responded Jack Beebe, a homeless man facing eviction Thursday from his camp in the treeline off Arnold Industrial Way. It's typical of the self-deprecating humor of Beebe, 60, a Navy veteran of the Vietnam war.
Project Hope, which offers outreach and food and water to the homeless of Contra Costa County, is one of offering help to a major homeless encampment.
For a week and longer, the agencies, Lowe's home improvement store (owner of the property) and the Concord police have been collaborating on cleaning up the extensive camp and rousting more than 15 people who have lived there in recent weeks.
Authorities have told Jack Beebe and his tentmate, Dave Strongman, and other people living under the trees to clear out by Thursday. On Thursday morning, Lowe's has a hired crew coming in to trim the tree canopy and clean up brush to reduce the concealment of the numerous camp spots, said Lt. Robin Heinemann of the Concord Police Department.
On Saturday, there was a coordinated effort with police and social services agencies that resulted in a couple of homeless people leaving the Lowe's area and one being transported to the hospital.
"We've been going above and beyond to help those individuals who need the help," said Heinemann.
On Thursday, the police will be there to monitor the eviction and offer to make phone calls for homeless people to see about services and spaces in shelters, said Heinemann.
Beebe said the idea of going to a shelter makes him anxious. "I don't like laying there where there's snorting and hacking and people smelling," he said. "I just want to find a place to lay my tarp down and then throw out my sleeping bag, and me and the dog will sleep there." His dog is named Crom.
Beebe said he planned to leave Wednesday, take a bag full of cans and bottles to get some recycling deposits, and then find that place to lay his tarp down.
"Cops are a necessary thing," said Beebe, "but I really don't like them."
The field, about the size and shape of a football gridiron, is lined on its long sides by trees and bushes where people set up camp.
"The thing is: We have no place to go," said Dave Strongman, who shares a tent with Beebe. "If there was a church to support us or something, we'd be grateful."
Strongman, who has a dog named Buster, said he had a job last year at the Diablo Creek Golf Course, which is about a mile from the homeless encampment. He said he was fired the first of the year.
Strongman and Beebe have a neat camp, with a tidy border of small rocks and a drainage trench dug around a tent, as a conscientious backpacker would do.
Strongman said he has been homeless for more than 20 years, the last four years in Concord.
Strongman feels the authorities often engage in collective blame of people in the homeless camp. Some campers are messy, but that doesn't mean all are, Strongman said.
Police suspected people from the homeless encampment of stealing brass vases from the adjacent Memory Gardens Cemetery on Memorial Day. Strongman said he saw a man coming out of the park carrying a suspicious bag and he tried to catch him but was not fast enough. It was no one from the homeless camp, he said.
Similarly, he said, authorities blamed the homeless for deep ruts that recently scarred the field between the Lowe's store and the homeless camp. Strongman said he saw a truck with big wheels doing doughnuts in the field one day.
Many people at the camp make "big messes," Beebe said. "They fight and scream and argue."
Beebe said he has been homeless 13 years in Concord, and before that 15 years in Denver.
Beebe said authorities told him, "If you're still here Thursday, we're taking your s***."
He said he received two Purple Hearts for his service in Vietnam, starting as a Navy hospital corpsman for a Marine unit at the unit.
"I got tired of stacking Marines in body bags," he said. He worked to get a transfer to an aircraft carrier, the Kitty Hawk, as a bosun's mate.
Many people who live in the Lowe's field go to the nearby Highway 4 underpass once a day where a homeless advocate named John brings them food, Beebe said.
The rousting operation angers Strongman. "Why are we picking on the littlest people in the world?"

Fasika, Somerville
- hiddenboston Nov 27, 2006 02:19 PM
If anyone gets to the new Fasika in Somerville, I'd love to hear how it is. I was thinking of going there in the next week or two if it's as good as I think it will be.
www.fasikarestaurant.com - nothing very helpful up yet though. I'm excited to check this place out. Haven't had Ethopian in a couple of years, and we were just making plans on Sunday to go to Addis Red Sea. This would be even more exciting... although the bread did make my stomach swell up. I'll have to go easy on the bread this time.
drove by here tonight with my wife. it looked like a townie bar: neon beer signs in the window, big tv's inside, a cook or waiter smoking out front. atmosphere wasn't doing it for me, so we rolled on (and had another fabulous meal at tu y yo). i'd love to hear what this place is like, but i feel that not renovating the place before opening was a huge mistake.
Very good food. Very weird scene. They've divided the old pub from the restaurant with a short wall, so all the townie regulars peer at you suspiciously while you're dining.
But the food is worthy, and they serve a traditional Ethiopian coffee service.
I liked: Yebeg tibs (lamb, jalapenos, onions) and the kitfo (steak tartare with hot chile butter), and the mild lentils. The injera was nice and tangy, though just a little fluffier than I like. But still good.
One advantage of being attached to a tavern is that you can order an actual cocktail.
Neon beer signs: Apparently, the Ethiopian couple who own the restaurant bought the bar a few years' back and wanted to keep at least part of the place familiar for the longtime regulars.
Finally made it last night. Four of us ordered the "combination for 2" but asked for enough food for all four of us. Our waitress was more than happy to answer our questions about the menu and made some suggestions. The combination for 2 allows you to order 3 meat and 4 vegetable dishes (to be served on the traditional bread). Because we were 4 people that total went up to 6 and 8, respectively. We made a few choices ourselves and then asked her to just surprise us with the rest to give us good variety.
Essentially we ended up with one of almost everything.
I'm sorry I can't remember the traiditional dish names, nor everything we ate - there was so much food! Here are some highlights:
kitfo - very good, very very spicy
collard greens - simple and delicious
split peas - as my dad put it - "refreshingly mild" after all the spicy food
yellow lentils - wonderful
cabbage and potatos - not spicy, very good
curried vegetables - i didn't try but these were my sister's favorite
a mild lamb dish that was gone in under a minute we all loved it so much
the injera was delicious
as we neared the end of our feast the chef came out to see how we liked everything. He answered our many questions about the different seasonings and spices and was just so friendly.
I am so thrilled to have this option only 3 blocks from my home as i will definitely be back!
None of us were drinking last night, so our feast for four with a meal's worth of leftovers taken home by my sister after tax and tip was $50.
Individual dishes are in the range of $8 - $11. There are also two "combo" options for individuals - a vegetarian and non-vegetarian which are about $20 and allow 4 choices, I believe.
Don't let the funky atmosphere keep you away - this place is a gem!
re: heathermb
Wow! Thanks so much for reporting back. That sounds amazing!
re: yumyum
It really was...I look forward to going back soon...and to having a great takeout option so close to home!
re: heathermb
Sounds awesome - thanks for the good report!
Is the injera of the fairly light or darker (teff) variety? And is it sour or just plain? (I prefer the darker, sour kind myself but I've been tainted by a trip to Ethiopia a few years ago...)
Personally I think the dodgier the atmosphere, the better the food... so I'm loving the neon signs.
re: Sgt Snackers
I too prefer the darker more sour but this is pretty light and plain. Still a great vehicle for all the delicious food. And actually it was better for me b/c i didn't fill up just by eating the injera!
re: Sgt Snackers
Me too. This is my problem with Addis Red Sea. Are you saying these restaurants don't use sourdough teff? That would explain it!
Obviously, the owners of Fasika have a penchant for weird locations. The exterior of Fasika when it was in Jamaica Plain was also a weird, nasty-looking, storefront-y location that scared me off for many years. Once I was inside, though, it was great.
my blog
re: TheScribe
Why is everyone so afraid of non-descript storefronts? Not so scary.
re: Joanie
I agree. There's nothing scary about the New Bridge Cafe, Santarpio's, the Salem Wood Cafe, or Cronin's Publick House, even though they look a bit rough around the edges from the outside. Even Paddy's in Cambridge isn't that bad......actually..... I take that back. ;-b
re: hiddenboston
I think Vinny's at Night wins the award for nondescript location!
re: heathermb
C'mon. The Paddock isn't exactly welcoming, but once you are inside you'll never want to leave! I agree with Joanie, this is what the whole chowhound thing is about ... good food in unexpected locations. Can't wait to try Fasika.
re: heathermb
Thanks for posting, do you think they're ready for a smallish chow dinner? Nondescript: been to J&J?
re: Aromatherapy
You're right about J&J, of course. I really want to go to Fasika with some hounds but slammed now until January. Wah! Just write a thorough review if/when you go! Especially interested in the kitfo -- like spicy tartare, no?
re: yumyum
I don't know that i'd describe the kitfo as tartare - it was fully cooked. but spicy, YES!
I think they could handle a chow dinner...would really enjoy such a thing, i'd imagine.
re: yumyum
"Slammed now until January"--uh, now that I think more about it, kind of in the same boat. January looking better.
Thanks for sharing! I live in JP and was wondering what happened to Fasika. Last I heard they were moving to Centre St, I didn't know they were going to Somerville!
Went to Fasika tonight with 3 friends - we had yemisir wot (lentils), gomen wot (collard greens), yebeg tibs (lamb), and minchet abich key (beef). We drank tej (honey wine), which was good - cloudy and very different from the tej I had in DC (but similar to the tej at Ethiopian Diamond in Chicago, come to think of it). Lastly, we had the coffee service, which was wonderful; the ceremonial aspect was a nice way to finish a meal. and the coffee was excellent (both with and without sugar).
I don't eat beef, but the other three dishes were great (and the beef was quickly devoured by the two guys who do eat beef. The lamb was AMAZING: tender, well-flavored (and the injera that the lamb sauce had soaked into...mmmmm.)
I'll be back soon - definitely.
re: FoodFemme
Really as spicy as you want it. When I was there last week the chef came out and asked us about our tolerance for spice - which ranged from total wimp (me!) to "bring it on" (my father) - so our dishes had a good range of spiciness.
We live just down the block from this place and were both suprised and excited to see an Ethiopian place open in the neighborhood. Last night, we finally went to try it.
The atmosphere, as many noted, is a bit strange. The spot was formerly, and to some degree still is Coleman's Cafe - a nondescript East Somerville neighborhood bar with an equally nondescript booze selection and what seems to be a bevvy of loyal blue collar clientele from the neighborhood. It does feel like there is a somewhat awkward social divide between the two sides of the room, but it's mostly fine, and they have put some effort into making the place look decent - nice warm paint, colorful fabrics and such. The owners have had the place for several years already and were just running it as Coleman's, same as before, so perhaps they keep the bar open out of loyalty to their regulars, which is sweet. Of course, its also possible that they are just hedging their bets, and reluctant to lose their substantial bar income until the restaurant gets off the ground. Time will tell.
The food, on our visit, was just OK. I have eaten Ethiopian food in DC, West Philly, and San Francisco, so I'm pretty well versed. What we had didn't stand out but didn't offend terribly either. We ordered a combo plate for 2 (around $20 with tax) and drank Heineken's. As several have noted, the combo is injera with 7 dishes, three meat and four veggie. Theres a little variation is what you pick, but you get to taste about 2/3rds of the menu this way, so i won't bother listing the specific dishes. Portions were fine but not especially generous, and food was lukewarm (in temperature as well as quality) at best. Several mistakes were made in service, we ordered chicken with tumeric and got chicken with berebere, and got 2 beef dishes instead of the lamb and the beef we ordered. They caught the missing lamb and brought it out separately at no charge. All in all, we will surely go back as we both love Ethiopian food and we live right down the block, but we werent too impressed. Maybe next time we will order off the menu isntead of the combo, the fish dish I saw going to another table (not avail. with the combo) looked pretty good. Hopefully things will come together better in a few months, or maybe we just caught them on an off night.
re: andytee
I agree that overall it's not up to par with the best of DC and San Francisco. But like you suspected, the catfish is very good. It competes with Dok Bua's catfish dish for best I've had in Boston.
re: junior coyote
No doubt Berkeley/Oakland/SF Ethiopian > Cambridge/Somerville/Boston Ethiopian. An interesting question is whether you can substitute any X for Ethiopian to render the inequality false. I'm not convinced.
WOW! With all these raves and an economical price tag, I can't wait to try it. Was underwhelmed by Addis; mabe this will do the trick. And, <b>pamiam</b>, if the tej is like Chi's Ethiopian Diamond, I am in for a treat.
Okay, I quickly looked through the posts on this page but more than anything I had to give all you interested folks some info on this amazing restaurant. Fasika used to be up on South Huntington until it closed a few months ago. It was my favorite restaurant. My husband and I and our friends were seriously devistated when the place closed. We would try to call the number to see if we could find out what happened and went online to see if they had reopened. For a while we had heard it might open in JP but tonight, after months of curiosity, I saw online that they had opened in Somerville. I joined chowhound just to add a blurb since they have the link on their website.
Not to sound like a cheese ball but the food at Fasika is made with love, it tastes like your grandma made it for you in her kitchen. When Fasika closed I tried other places around town to sooth the pain, Red Sea, some place in Central... nothing was good enough and I felt like I was cheating on my true love. I would have rather not eaten at all than eat less than Fasikas food.
And what specifically is great about the food? Well my goodness the flavors, the totally unique flavors of the food. The spice combinations are amazing. The food tastes so clean. The vegetarian dishes are so hearty and delicious. If you love to order a meat dish that is about the taste of the meat and not the sauce on it then you will love the meat dishes there. The spices and sauces that season the meats are so delicate and fantastic. Have I mentioned the bread? The bread is like nothing else you have tasted. It is made with a grain called teff which is fermented, this results in a slightly sour taste. Teff is also one of the most nutritious grains on earth, no joke. If you like to eat with your hands, this is a great place to do it. They will give you utensils but if you want the total fun experience leave the fork alone.
And lets hit on the word fun again. When you go to Fasika your food comes on a large platter and you get a big plate of bread. If you go in there with your best buddies and all eat off the same plate, fighting over the lentils and drinking the Ethiopian beer I promise you, you will fall in love with the place like me and my friends did.
I have to go now and get ready, I am heading off there tonght. Welcome back Fasika, we missed you!!!!!
I finally (finally? I heard they were open about 2 weeks ago!) made it to Fasika, in its new Somerville digs. I'd not actually ever been to the old location.
Yes, the layout's odd. I can but hope that eventually either the food business will push out the bar business, that the division between them will be strengthened, or at least that the TVs, jukebox and Keno system will vanish. As I was one of 2 couples there last night at 8, I'm not holding my breath.
The food was solidly good. I'm not sure injera what MamaLikesEats was having, but mine was not at all sour, which I thought was too bad. (MLE: Were you in there around 8-9:00? If so, hi!)
We had (meat) combo for 2, ordering kitfo (raw! Yum!), a lamb dish (probably yebeg wot) and a chicken dish (I don't remember what, except that the egg was missing!).
I told the waitress to pick the veggie dishes and we got yesmir wot, gomen wot, yatakilt kilikil, and probably the yekik alicha.
All were quite yummy. Not perhaps the best I've had (that's still Meskerem, Washington DC) but very goood and I think the best I've had in Boston (I missed the days of Ethiopian Restaurant in Central Sq. I hear they were excellent.)
I find both Addis Red Sea and Asmara both good (with Addis the better), but there was something about Fasika that (other than the injera) that I liked more. The flavor combos - probably better stated as "the spice mixes" that the chef uses are somewhat different than what I'm used to, and seem a bit more... succulent? I don't know what I'm looking for here.
The portions could've been a bit bigger, I suppose, but then I don't really need bigger portions these days. The price was just fine ($20+tt for the combo. Neither of us had drinks other than water) and the location's really convenient.
I'll certainly be going back.
We went there a few days ago and--well, maybe we were just there on an off night. If not, Fasika's deteriorated hugely since the move to Somerville. New management? New cook? I don't know, but the old place was one of our favorite restaurants, while Monday's meal left us cold.
We don't live in the Boston area, and it's enough of a trip that we hadn't been to Fasika since the last time we ate at the JP location. Having really missed it, we ordered both huge samplers (meat and veggie) and ate, if I remember correctly: Yebeg tibs, Minchatabesh, Key wet, Yemisir wot, Yekik alicha, Gorem wot, and Yatakilt kilikil.
Alas, the food was mostly BORING. The Yemisil wat was, as my husband said, "hot without being spicy"; everything else was just pretty bland. I don't mean mild, though it was that, but without much flavor at all. (And yes, as other people have said, even the injera was dull.)
No doubt it was worse by comparison with the Ethiopian food we'd had recently on a visit back to Berkeley (oh, how I miss Cafe Colucci!). But that wasn't the only problem. This is the only time within memory where those leftovers didn't even come home with us. What a pity; it used to be such good food...

By ERICA ESTEP 6 News Education Reporter
SEVIERVILLE (WATE) - East Tennessee non-profit groups are stepping up to provide bullying prevention programs in schools.
Bullying is no longer just a school problem, and experts say schools need lots of help dealing with the damaging and long lasting effects it can have on children.
Van Wolfe, executive director of non-profit Safe Space, said, "You know suicide rates are going up for children, for teenagers. We can do something about this!"
That's one reason Wolfe said Safe Space, which usually deals with domestic violence and abuse in the home, started educating middle school students about those issues and about bullying more than a decade ago.
The Sevierville-based non-profit recently expanded the program to fourth graders. It serves kids in Sevier, Cocke and Jefferson counties.
"Kids will talk. They'll tell you what's going on. They're very honest," Wolfe said. "You give them the setting, they're going to open up and tell you the things that, what we hear from teachers, is not talked about other than through this program."
6 News was invited to Sevierville Middle School to see Safe Space education specialist Carmel Day at work. After watching a video outlining why people bully, and offering ways to handle it, she talked with a group of sixth graders about their experiences.
Day asked, "Where does bullying take place?" A chorus of students chimed, "hallways, the bus, at lunch, during recess."
She walked the students walk through bullying scenarios, talking about how they would deal with each one. "They (bullies) will say things like, you're so stupid. Then they'll say, just kidding," she told the students. "Was that a just kidding?" The class of students answered in unison, "No!"
The students also learn when they should speak up to help others. "If by staying silent somebody is going to get hurt, then you should talk," Day told them.
On this particular day even the trainer got a surprise when a reformed bully came clean. The sixth grade boy raised his hand and said, "I used to be a bully, but I would go for the little ones, like make fun of the little kid that was smaller than me."
"I'm glad you stopped," Day said. She also offered some positive reinforcement. "It's very rare to have a former bully actually admit to having been a bully, and that is wonderful."
At the end of each program, students in the three counties Safe Space serves filled out questionnaires. They were asked specific questions about bullying and abuse, and offered a chance to tell something important. Some of what they wrote is disturbing, like the fourth grader who wrote, "I wish I was dead."
"About a third of these surveys are coming back with kids talking about that they're being bullied, talking about that they're being abused in their homes, talking about their low self esteem, and how they don't want to live, and how they have no one to talk to," Wolfe said. "It's just heart wrenching to realize these are 12-year-olds, 10-year-olds, 8-year-olds, who are already feeling this kind of thing about life."
Safe Space uses that information to take action, working with school counselors to help kids in need and following up several times throughout the year.
Safe Space is just one of many non-profit groups with anti-bullying programs. K-Town Youth Empowerment Network, Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, the Community Mediation Center in Knoxville and Child & Family Tennessee are some others.

Keeping wildlife in the wild and off dinner plates
NY Assemblyman Greg Ball (R-Patterson) promised to introduce legislation in Albany to "combat bush meat" — entrees named for their origins, which is mostly the African forest, or bush. The legislation would aim to keep elephants, chimpanzees, gorillas, forest antelope and other African and Asian creatures off American plates, helping curtail what some say is a major threat to wildlife and ecosystems around the world. Bush meat also poses a health risk, said Adam Roberts of Born Free USA, an animal advocacy group. Bush-meat consumption has been linked to the transmission of HIV, Ebola and foot-and-mouth disease. Roberts is helping Ball formulate his legislation.

Kate Ammersley's charcoal drawings are inspired by specimens from the Booth Museum's collection. Courtesy Royal Pavilion, Libraries and Museums, Brighton.
A new exhibition at Brighton's Booth Museum will combine its natural history exhibits with challenging new artwork.
The exhibition, titled Order and Chaos, runs from April 16 to June 19 2005, placing new works from artist Kate Hammersley next to objects from the museum's collection, some of which have not been seen by the public before.
It will use the language of roadside billboards to describe her larger than life charcoal drawings, which are inspired by items from the Booth Museum's collection, replacing museum-style labelling with advertising slogans.
In doing so Hammersley will attempt to show how man has attempted to shape and define nature.
Edward Booth pioneered museum display work and was the inspiration for the exhibition. Courtesy Royal Pavilion, Libraries and Museums, Brighton.
"A recurrent theme in my work is human intervention in species development and the natural world," explained Kate, who is artist-in-residence at the museum.
"Currently I am working on a series of drawings and text illustrations which examine labelling and attempt to replace the museum label with labels inspired by American billboard posters."
Victorian ornithologist Edward Booth founded the museum, and was the first person to display birds in recreated natural habitats. Order and Chaos was inspired by this pioneering work and Kate will talk at the museum about her experiences as artist-in-residence on May 21, at 2.30pm.

The problem with increased lag I'm noticing is not just with WG, but all of WOW.
I'm on Uldaman-US, a medium pop server. Once 3.1 hit I noticed that my latency about doubled. It's not bad, but I went from hovering around 150 to hovering in the mid 300s. Instead of always having a green icon, now it's usually yellow. Not a big deal to those suffering world crashes I know, but it seems to indicate a deeper problem than just WG.
This is true pretty much everywhere in the games world(s), high or low population. Dalaran, WG, Loch Modan, or even out in some desolate zone by myself.
Latency does increase at higher pop times of day and places, but the increase I'm seeing is across the board. Low pop times/locations are around twice as laggy as previous low pop times/locations, and high pop times/locations are around twice as laggy as previous high pop times/locations.
It's not my connection because I get the exact same latency increase on different computers at different locations (home, work, etc.).
The increase I'm seeing is too constant to be from a sudden influx of players. I'm guessing something in the 3.1 code is taking more processing.

The journey up the Nam Ou was incredibly beautiful, but a bit unnerving. Our boat was filled past capacity and a tropical depression that made landfall to the north had sent huge uprooted trees flowing directly at us. Sticking close to the riverside, our captain avoided most of the debris. However, no amount of caution could help us avoid the gauntlet of rapids and whirlpools on the river. Hitting the latter in a boat our size was quite a seat-gripping experience.

airborne vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, ship-to-shore communications and telepresence, and ocean observing systems. As the number and complexity of seagoing systems increase, so does the need for broadly trained and highly skilled technicians to maintain them, a topic covered briefly at the conclusion of this chapter.
One of the technologies already in use on many oceanographic research ships is dynamic positioning (DP). By properly controlling bow thrusters, azimuthing propulsers, and other elements of a ship's propulsion system, DP makes it possible for a ship to hold a given geographical location and required heading even under severe conditions. DP also contributes to operation quality and efficiency because waypoints can be used to minimize time between stations and heading and ship track can be controlled accurately over long distances. The maneuvering and propulsion system is linked to the ship's navigation system to ensure the position is fixed. DP systems installed retroactively on vessels sometimes have inadequate propulsion and computer systems to maintain station in high sea states. Newer systems utilize onboard computers to control the machinery. Nine University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) vessels currently have DP systems (all Global and Ocean class, the Intermediate Seward Johnson, and the Regional/Coastal Hugh R. Sharp). Of these, Knorr and Melville had systems installed retroactively, and Revelle, Atlantis, Thompson, and Marcus Langseth have had replacement systems installed (Annette DeSilva, personal communication, 2009). With the growth of offboard vehicles and the need to safely deploy and recover these systems, it is expected that DP will become a standard feature of research vessels rather than a special case. The Navy's systems specifications for the planned Ocean class vessels explicitly states that a DP must be installed (Naval Sea Systems Command, 2009).
Aloft systems include instruments such as meteorological sensors, GPS and communications antennas, and instruments for measuring ocean surface reflectance. At present the upper portions of research vessels are not designed so that all aloft systems have the appropriate exposure; rather, they compete for space in a crowded part of the vessel and performance is compromised. The vessel requirements for GPS and communications systems, for example, concern clear sight lines between the antennas and the required satellites in any possible position, from overhead to the horizon in any direction. In current installations, the antennas

Montana Horses
May 04, 2010
Last weekend, with our corn all planted in record time, I went out to Montana. My 16-year-old daughter and I went to a horse ranch – Montana Horses' annual horse drive. Those responsible for herding the horses included about 15 "green horns" (that would include me, although I did grow up riding a horse), and 25 cowboys and wranglers who knew their job.
We rounded up 350 horses that had been wintering in high country pasture and drove them 30 miles to new pastures. The drive took 3 days and, on one occasion, we herded our horses right down the middle of a little town called "Three Forks" with a thousand people cheering and lining the streets.
The ranch owns the horses and now will lease them out to customers for the summer. Their customers include individual families, dude ranches, etc. That is their business. I met and talked to many ranchers that were involved in the drive. This is just another dimension of this diverse country. Sit on your horse on top of a big hill and you can see for miles. Cattle ranches, wheat fields, pastures, and yes, horses. Different from my Illinois farm – a far cry from corn, soybeans, and pigs.
However, there is a common bond, a consistent way of thinking across rural America. Our priorities are personal responsibility, self-reliance, trust, and integrity. That's why we don't like the "nanny state" managing our lives and business – always encouraging dependence on big government. Rural Americans are more independent than big city urban dwellers.
The philosophy of the ranchers and horsemen was adamantly opposed to government micro-management. They are furious about our government closing down all of our horse slaughter plants. Horses are personal property. The owner should be able to sell his horse for slaughter, have the meat processed and sell it to the French. Why not? The alternative is to have thousands of unwanted horses on our hands.
Rural Americans are convinced that our government spends too much, wastes too much, and costs too much. In our lives, we have to live with what we have. We can't spend what we don't have. However, our government can and does.
Keep your eyes on Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy – wallowing in debt. We need to turn around and not take that path. That's the good judgment of rural America.
In closing, I would encourage you to access my website which archives my radio commentaries dating back 10 years and will go back 20 years when complete. Check on what I said back then. Go to
Until next week, I am John Block in Washington.

It simply amazes me of the ignorance of some Americans. You conservative want a government run by the majority when you are in power but by the miniscule minority when not( the rural American) I live in Montana, very rurally. I have lived in places like San Jose Ca in the bay area, doesn't get much more urban then that and I can tell you for a fact that Urbanites are much more self sufficient then rural people by a far stretch. Just because you want something to be doesn't make it that. The populace of this country doesn't believe that horses are property nor food, You are always welcome to move to Canada, Italy or any place that does eat horse and consider them property if you wish but stop trying to convincing the millions of us out here, far more then all the rural states together by the way that we are wrong and you in your outdated mode of thinking is right. I was raised on a southern horse farm, killed my own dinner and have 15 horses of my own. Just shows what a bit of education and the ability to learn different ways of thinking can do for that "Rural" mind when its applied.

Sending a horse to slaughter is only what an owner with no gratitude for its service or compassion would do. Slaughter is not euthanasia but a cruel death. 92 % of the horses sent to slaughter are young and in good shape according to USDA stats. Greedy people who overbred their horses are the ones who favor slaughter. Horses are not livestock according to the USDA and are companions and pets to most owners. I guess some of the pro-slaughter side will want to kill our cats and dogs next and send them to China.
For shame !

This man is a cerebral midget and has not done his homework on slaughter.

Wherever man has left his footprint

Nice to see you got out of state and realized their is land in this country that wont produce 200 plus bushel corn and still get a bunch of government LDp payments etc. Marginal land produccers in this country are the true pioneeers of the land.
11:15 PM May 5th
Don't know anything about horses and really don't care. What I do know is the author is right on in his opinion of the over reach of the federal government. Throw the bums out and elect people who don't try to control every aspect of our lives.

"Do you think every horse in the US Has been dosed with bute" No just the vast majority. Bute is the number one prescribed med for horses.
Horse Owner Survey Shows NSAID Use Trends
by: Edited Press Release
April 30 2009, Article # 14073
In a recent survey, 96% of respondents said they used nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to control the joint pain and
inflammation in horses, and 82% administer them without always
consulting their veterinarian. More than 1,400 horse owners and trainers
were surveyed to better understand attitudes toward NSAIDs, in a project
sponsored by Merial, the maker of Equioxx (firocoxib).

Anonymous, I'm not an "HSUS type" I'm a horse owner. Bute is a common pain reliever for horses, it is horse aspirin. Even if you don't believe animals feel pain, if you lease your horses out, others do.
6:30 PM May 4th
Do you think every horse in the US Has been dosed with bute or is blind and has broken legs? No since to waste time with logic and common sense on you HSUS types cause it just don't register!
4:40 PM May 4th
The French don't want drugged or sick meat. They don't want abused meat either, and shipping blind or broken-legged horses to slaughter is illegal.
3:43 PM May 4th

"The owner should be able to sell his horse for slaughter, have the meat processed and sell it to the French. Why not?" How about because the meat is poisonous? Horse meat is unfit for humans to eat.

A Jackson woman died early Thursday afternoon in a fatal crash in north Jackson, according to a news release from the Jackson Police Department.
The release said 65-year-old Jane C. Norvell died from the injuries she sustained in a two-vehicle crash, which occurred at the intersection of North Highland Avenue and Harris Drive.
Police said around 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Norvell was driving westbound on Harris Drive in a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier. She was trying to turn left to travel south on North Highland Avenue when the Cavalier was struck on the driver's side by a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix.
The Grand Prix, driven by 55-year-old Sandy Lytle, of Jackson, was traveling north on North Highland in the inside lane when the crash occurred, the release said.
Police said Norvell, who was wearing a seat belt, was rushed to the Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, where she died a short time later from her injuries. Lytle, who was not wearing a seat belt, is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Witnesses to the crash said Norvell had pulled across the lane of travel leading to the accident.
Police said they are continuing to investigate the crash.

Laura J. Martin, MD
April 28, 2011 -- A simple checklist completed by parents can help doctors screen for signs of autism as early as the child's first birthday, according to new research.
''I am hoping it will become the standard of care," researcher Karen Pierce, PhD, an assistant professor of neuroscience at the University of San Diego School of Medicine, tells WebMD.
She recently tested the screen, asking 137 pediatricians throughout San Diego County to take part. At the 12-month well baby visit, the doctors asked the parents to answer the 24-item checklist. The questions ask about their child's emotions, eye gaze, communication, gestures, and other behaviors.
The screen found suspected autism, autism spectrum disorder, language delays, or other developmental problems about 75% of the time, Pierce says.
"One of every four times, it will be wrong," she says. "The price to pay for that is actually very tiny" compared to the benefit of early intervention.
Currently, 5.7 years is the median age (half older, half younger) at which children receive an autism diagnosis, according to a 2009 study.
About one in 110 children in the U.S. has autism or autism spectrum disorder, a group of developmental disabilities that cause social, behavioral, and communication challenges.
The new study is published online in the Journal of Pediatrics.
The screen used is already published and is available online for free download. It is called the CSBS DP IT checklist (Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales Developmental Profile Infant-Toddler).
The questionnaire takes about five minutes to complete, Pierce says.
Among the questions:
"This is not an autism-specific screen," Pierce tells WebMD. "It's a screen to catch autism and other developmental delays."
The doctors screened 10,479 infants. Of them, 1,318 children failed. Pierce evaluated 184 of the children who failed the screen and were evaluated for autism, autism spectrum disorder, language delays, or other developmental delays. The researchers also tracked 41 of the 9,161 children who passed the checklist, who served as a comparison group.
To date, 32 of the children got a final or provisional diagnosis of autism or autism spectrum disorder, which encompasses a wider spectrum of developmental problems. Another 46 received a false-positive diagnosis of autism, uncovered with evaluation.
Five babies who tested positive for ASD later no longer met the criteria. Fifty-six were diagnosed with learning disabilities, nine with developmental problems, and 36 with "other" developmental problems.
It is critical, Pierce says, that a doctor who uses the screen has access to a center where he can refer patients for more evaluation.
In 2007, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a report introducing universal screening for autism at ages 18 months and 24 months.
The new finding is an important step forward, says Geraldine Dawson, PhD. She is the chief science officer for Autism Speaks. Autism Speaks supported the study as did the Organization for Autism Research and the National Institute of Mental Health.
"We do know that many babies who go on to develop autism begin to show symptoms early on," she says.
It may be half or more of all children with autism, she says.
''For babies who have this pattern of early onset, to use a screen that is quick and can be used in a pediatrician's office efficiently is of great value," she says. The earlier autism is detected, the earlier intervention can begin.

(WHAS11)--A Bullitt County man appeared in court Wednesday morning on charges of assaulting his girlfriend's twin boys.
18-year-old Samuel Harris, Jr. is accused of abusing 4-month-old twin boys.
Both boys were taken to Kosair Children's Hospital where, according to family members, Aiden is in critical condition and is considered technically brain dead and Braden is suffering from serious injuries.
"They are going to run some test in a little while and if the tests, if he don't show no brain response, I guess they are going to make the call and pronounce him dead. And, hopefully he gets a murder charge and hopefully he gets charges for what he did to Braden too," Michael Sallee, family friend, said.
Family members said Harris confessed to the police, saying the boys would not stop crying.
Conny Spann, the mother's aunt, said the boys were under Harris' care while the twins' mother went out to get something to eat.
"The boyfriend decided he couldn't get the baby to sleep, or to quit crying and so he picked the baby up and threw the baby across the room onto the couch. Um, there's some wood underneath the couch or whatever that was sticking out , then he picked the baby up and started shaking the baby," Conny Spann, the mother's aunt, said.
Span said after Harris shook the baby he realized the baby wasn't breathing and at that time Harris squeezed Aiden's chest, fracturing all of his ribs.
"When he realized that wasn't helping to bring the baby back, he went to get help," Span said.
Harris was arraigned Wednesday morning. He pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $500,000 full cash bond.

Multiple implementations of XMPP core protocol (RFC 6120) supporting stream compression (XEP-0138) suffer from uncontrolled resource consumption vulnerability (CWE-400). This vulnerability can be remotely exploited by attackers to mount Denial-of-Service attacks by sending highly-compressed XMPP messages.
It has been reported that Tigase is vulnerable and it is possible to exhaust resources in one of cases reported. It is fixed in current snapshot builds of our software and new release 5.2.1, which is going to be released soon will contain fix for this issue as well.
Currently we have 2 ways to connect to Tigase XMPP Server from web browsers:
You will find more informations about these ways for connecting to Tigase XMPP Server with some useful tips below.
Tigase XMPP Server by default was sending only one XMPP packet per HTTP request which caused a need for a lot of requests if there was a lot of packets to be sent to client. This caused additional network traffic as well as delay in sending packets to client.
From now on Tigase XMPP Server will detect when a lot of XMPP packets needs to be sent through single BOSH connection and it will send it batches.
During a setup of a test environment on the Tigase XMPP Server runing on JDK7 a client could not connect to the server using TLS/SSL encryption.
After investigation I discovered that the JDK7 supports TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, a client was using a recent version of the OpenSSL library (version 1.0.1 from Ubuntu 12.04). Knowing that I tried to connect using a command line utility from OpenSSL to connect to a secured port on the Tigase XMPP Server:
openssl s_client -debug -showcerts -connect xmpp.server.com:5223
- another connection failure. After testing connection using a command line ultility from GnuTLS (which was successful), I knew that there was an issue with the recent version of OpenSSL library.
Apparently even that OpenSSL can be convinced to work with proper parameters:
openssl s_client -debug -showcerts -ssl3 -connect xmpp.server.com:5223

Calif. anglers delighted over Los Vaqueros Reservoir reopening
Brentwood, CA, United States (4E Sports) – Anglers now have the chance to quench their thirst for some fishing action with the reopening of the Los Vaqueros Reservoir south side last Oct. 15, together with a relocated marina, new boat docks, fishing piers and hiking trails.
The reservoir, which can previously hold 100,000 acre-feet of water, was closed for a year to expand and enhance the facilities. Now, it can accommodate up to 160,000 acre-feet of water.
"It is beautiful," Danville resident Barry Zorpahl said. "They need to put more fish in the lake, but it is going to take some time to get it well populated. People are waiting to see what is happening with the lake."
The reservoir staff had planted 8,400 pounds of fish in the past six weeks but Zorpahl said it will take time for the fish to become accustomed to the new terrain and set up bedding areas.
Aside from the renovation, the Contra Costa Water District property near Brentwood and Byron off Vasco Road recently updated its fleet for boat rentals.
"During construction to expand the reservoir, fishing remained available along the shoreline and proved to be very popular. But now we can offer much more, and we're pleased to see boats back in the water," Contra Costa Water District board President Joe Campbell said.
District officials said 75 percent of people who frequent Los Vaqueros are anglers but the spot is also a favorite hiking and picnic destination, On weekends, concessions manager Chris Senti said that there are about 200 users.
"It is a nice fishery," Senti said. "Although we have been planting fish, they spread out pretty fast."
Jennifer Allen, director of public affairs, noted that the picnic area is larger, and there is more shade and shelter from the elements. "It is a much better layout now," she said.

Facebook and Twitter are each going after specific demographics this year to complete their respective audiences and increase ad reach.
What's the new play in 2014? Get ads pushed to new users who couldn't be reached before – that's the game for Facebook and Twitter, who both made very low-key announcements just before 2013 came to an end.
New targets: Hyper-Local and Global
For Facebook, it's about making new inroads in the national market with prepaid users, thanks to a new alliance with T-Mobile's GoSmart.
For Twitter, it's about providing offline access to populations in promising lands (BRIC countries) where data access is not readily available, via an agreement with Singaporean startup U2opia Mobile and Swiss company Myriad Group.
Twitter Focuses on Emerging Markets
During the first quarter of this year, U2opia Mobile is slated to launch its service called Fonetwish, to serve a stripped down version of Twitter to basic mobile phone owners, specifically in emerging countries.
The partnership comes on the heels of another, similar agreement with Myriad Group, which will initially be available to mobile subscribers who own feature phones without a data plan in Latin America, Africa, Asia and India.
Both U2opia Mobile and Myriad Group use a technology called USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data). U2opia's Fonetwish is already being exploited by Facebook (in India) as well as Google (for its Hangout).
Facebook Reaches Out to U.S. Prepaid User Population
Unlike Twitter, Facebook already addressed the emerging markets via Facebook Zero in 2010 it provides free access to its services to users of entry-level mobile phones.
At the time, Facebook already had deals in over 45 countries. Images and videos were not displayed immediately but rather just a click away.
Fast forward to 2014 and Facebook is bringing it closer to home, starting with the GoSmart Mobile user base: free access to Facebook, for all customers, whether they have a data plan or not.
Why It Matters for Facebook's Ads
GoSmart provides low cost, prepaid mobile services with no annual contracts or fees, for the commitment-phobe or the budget-minded.
It's crucial for Facebook. Pew Research Center's latest report on the state of Social Media for 2013 shows that while Facebook stills dominates the space, its grab of the younger market is dwindling. Young users are still there but the growth of that specific population is visibly slowing down.
Of course, having this demographic is key for advertisers, and it seems Facebook might have found just the right channel to make things happen.
Why Emerging Markets are Key to Twitter's Ad Strategy
As far as Twitter is concerned, its partner U2opia is "present in 30 countries in seven international languages, (and) will localize the Twitter feed according to the location of the user"; Reuters reported. Sumesh Menon, CEO and co-founder of U2opia, said that 8 out of 10 people in emerging markets do not have access to the Internet on their mobile phones. Those are huge untapped market right there.
Another trick? Users won't need to log on to Twitter or even have an account to get access to trending topics and tweets. Although the existing technology doesn't allow direct access to images and videos (or any graphics), it is a great first step toward getting those eyeballs for future ads.
To give an idea of the growth potential, bear in mind that Facebook Zero's user base in Africa, for instance, grew 114 percent in the 18 months following the service launch.
How is that for user acquisition and eyeball potential?
Photo credit: screenshot of U2opia's webpage
Cause Marketing
All in all, while the partnerships are officially intented to provide access to information to populations who so far could not get to it, this is one form of cause marketing by both social media platforms. By doing good, they, in exchange, gain access to markets they were not able to reach before.
Pair that with the crushing victory of mobile over desktops and this trend is likely to bear many juicy fruits.

UPC(pronounced as separate letters) Short for Universal Product Code, a unique 12-digit number assigned to retail merchandise that identifies both the product and the vendor that sells the product. The UPC on a product typically appears adjacent to its bar code, the machine-readable representation of the UPC.
The first six digits of the UPC are the vendor��s unique identification number. All of the products that one vendor sells will have the same first six digits in their UPCs. The next five digits are the product��s unique reference number that identifies the product within any one vendor��s line of products. The last number is called the check digit that is used to verify that the UPC for that specific product is correct.
The check digit verification works like this, using the UPC 438571639853 as an example:
- The digits in the odd positions are added together: 4 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 9 + 5 = 39
- That number is multiplied by 3: 39 x 3 = 117
- The digits in the even positions (except for the 12th digit) are added together: 3 + 5 + 1 + 3 + 8 = 20
- This sum is added to the value in step 2: 117 + 20 = 137
- The check digit is the number that when added to that sum - 137 - equals a multiple of 10: 137 + 3 = 140, therefore the check digit for the above UPC is 3, which appears as the last digit of the UPC.
Each time that a UPC is read, typically by a scanner reading the bar code, this calculation is done. If the check digit is different than the one that is calculated, then the computer knows that there is something wong with the UPC.
Anyone wishing to use the UPC system must first apply for the rights through the Uniform Code Council.

I am an experienced and empathetic tutor with a long background in writing, research, and administration. I am looking forward to expanding my reach and helping you reach your goals; whether you wish to brush up on your verbal standardized test scores, improve your writing, or increase your understanding of concepts in the Humanities and the Social Sciences I can be of service.
I have extensive experience with the full battery of the verbal sections of standardized tests (both SAT and ACT) as well as with AP and subject tests, particularly in Geography, US/World History, and Literature; this work has helped me cultivate a deep understanding of individually tailored and goal-oriented curricula. I have assisted with classroom regimens in History, Geography, Anthropology, and vocabulary and have also provided college counseling and resume editing advice. My background in writing and research spans both the professional and academic worlds; I have produced original qualitative research as an academic geographer as well as conducted industrial research for green energy firms and credit unions.
Let me put my skills to work for you and together we will uncover your potential
