In a rematch of the 54th Assembly District race of two years ago, Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, cruised to victory over Republican Martha Flores-Gibson in the 70th Assembly District.
With 100 percent precincts reporting, Lowenthal, running for a final term, had collected 65.2 percent of the votes, and Flores-Gibson had 34.8 percent, according to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's Office early Wednesday morning.
Lowenthal, 72, was a family counselor before serving on the Long Beach Unified School District Board and the Long Beach City Council.
Flores-Gibson, 58, was a social worker for the LBUSD and now is a substitute teacher for the district.
The candidates' political beliefs are as divergent as their backgrounds are similar.
During her campaign, Lowenthal talked of the need to create jobs and also championed improving education and public safety.
Flores-Gibson's views were boilerplate Republican, with a focus on creating jobs by easing regulation. She also advocated shrinking educational bureaucracy and applying the savings to classrooms.
In 2010, Lowenthal received 56.6 percent of the vote to Flores-Gibson's 43.4 percent.
The 70th District includes Long Beach, Signal Hill, San Pedro, Catalina Island and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which together take in 60 percent of the imports shipped to the United States.

I can remember vividly falling in love with Monet's art in my first French class during my sophomore year of high school. The cover of our text book had a picture of Monet's "Waterlilies" on it, along with Seurat's "Sunday in the Park", the French Flag, and snapshots of the people of France. I've loved Impressionism ever since, so when I stumbled upon this site I knew I had to share it with you.
Warning – the site may take a long time to load, but it is completely worth it. The site also plays music – a piano composition – and that's how I know it's loaded, although you can turn it off by clicking the music note at the very bottom right side of the page.
Once the site loads, you have three paths you can take. They are Gallery, Journey, and Practical Informations. I would highly recommend that you click Journey and go on a special digital experience through Monet's work.
Journey – once it loads, pull the glass jar down so that it spills to begin your trip. Through the spilled inky water, Monet's art will start appearing. If you get stuck at any point in your journey, look at the top right of the page for instructions on how to move forward – it's completely interactive! At any time throughout your journey you can also click on See the Picture You Have Viewed to check out the art that you've seen more closely. Or, if you get tired, (don't want to wait for it to load) you can head back to the main page with the Return to Homepage link at the top left of the page. I thought it was well worth the wait though.
Gallery – if you'd like a more traditional journey, or just want to skip right to the art, check out the Gallery, which features the art of Monet divided up by the year of the work. Click the series you'd like to check out more fully by clicking on a painting. What I adore about checking the art out in this way, is that you get to read about the time period it was created in, the technique used, and get tons of Monet facts.
Practical Informations (I'm guessing the extra "S" is a translation error) – explains what the exhibit is about, what the online portion is attempting to do, and where the event was held.
This is a fun and inventive digital journey that allows you to experience Monet's artwork in a unique way. Check it out today!

The latest issue of Multnomah magazine is out. This Fall 2008 issue is the largest issue to date. The cover story is about how many students carry around "Invisible Injuries"...generally speaking, the issue deals with all kinds of brokenness. We'd love to hear you thoughts.
Here's My Editor's Letter:
Resonating With Redemption
Every so often a subject really seems to strike a chord in our hearts and resonate with those around us.
Months ago, sitting in the planning meeting of the editorial council for this magazine, looking over story ideas neatly organized in front of us, someone blurted out something about how there is "so much brokenness at this table." Now I don't know if this was because there was so much brokenness represented in the stories themselves, or whether we were projecting some realization of our own – nonetheless, it struck a chord with the group. A few minutes later, it was decided that this issue's editorial focus would be on "brokenness."
Since then, I've wondered many times how we came to such a consensus with so little debate, in such a short amount of time. Was it the crush of a looming economic downturn? The tension that comes with a drawn-out election cycle? The burden of stories we've heard from students, alumni, and donors of their complicated and difficult trials?
What we do know, however, is that we have been made keenly aware of the brokenness in our own lives, without which we might never be inclined to look to the cross.
Some brokenness is brought on by our sin nature, while some is heaped upon us by others. Some things are simply beyond our control. Whatever the case, what is within our control (perhaps the only thing, actually), is our ability to give glory to Christ, especially when confronted with brokenness. We're thankful that He takes us in even at our most impoverished. We are broken, but we are redeemed.
I hope that the joy of this gracious redemption is what resonates with you in this issue.

I think if you grow up surfing reef breaks, they don't worry you as much. I only surfed beachbreaks and rock reefs, which I agree don't intimidate as much. How much do you guys spend scoping out new spots before paddling out? A while back I paddled out at Avellanas a little to the South of everyone to stay away from the main crew until they warmed up to me - it was firing and I was too pumped to waste time on the beach. I surfed on a peak there for about an hour before moving over to one of the main peaks. The next day I came back at low tide, and right under where I was surfing were hideous lava spikes. Some must have been within a foot or less of the surface. Since then, I'm a bit paranoid about researching the bottom and talking to the locals before surfing reef.

Styx making plans for 2014
Styx has shows booked through the end of the year. But guitarist James "J.Y." Young says that's not the end to the group's road work.
The rocker tells UltimateClassicRock.com the group will soon make an announcement regarding dates for 2014. He admits he "can't talk about it yet," but promises "people will be pleased with it."
Young adds the group is "threatening to maybe record a song or two," but can't say for certain when - or even if - Styx will have new music available. He admits the band has little incentive to return to the studio, since even legends like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones have a hard time getting their latest songs played on the radio.
But Young says even if they don't make a new album, Styx is "not retiring" and is "not going away." Styx's next shows are coming up on the West Coast. The band will play a two-night stand in Lincoln City, Oregon on Friday and Saturday.
So far Styx has two dates booked for 2014 - January 19th in Las Vegas and January 22nd in Anaheim, California. The group's full schedule is posted at StyxWorld.com.

September 1, 2009
Dear friends and members of the 9/11 community, As you may know, the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks will officially and permanently become a "National Day of Service and Remembrance" this year, under a new federal law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Obama in April 2009. For many of us, this represents a major, lasting honor for those lost, while establishing for the nation a meaningful and productive way forward from the horror of the 9/11 events.
To commemorate this historic legislation, and to honor the 9/11 community, MyGoodDeed.org will co-host with ServiceNation a very special tribute event on the evening of September 11, 2009, staged at the famed Beacon Theater in New York City, beginning at 5:30 PM. The event will feature live performances by top musicians, along with presentations by very prominent national and regional government officials – in honor of those lost and injured, their family members and those who rose in service during and after the attacks. We will announce the roster of prominent musicians and speakers later this week. HERE IS THE LINK TO REGISTER YOUR REQUEST FOR TICKETS –PLEASE DO SO IMMEDIATELY. ADVANCE REGISTRATION CLOSES ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 29 AT 5:00 PM TO ALLOW US ENOUGH TIME TO PROCESS AND MAIL ALL TICKETS. REGISTER FOR TICKETS TODAY AT: http://www.911dayofservice.org/event-registration/
YOU WILL NEED TO ENTER A REGISTRATION CODE. The code is: 911event2Tickets to this important and memorable event will be free-of-charge, the majority of which are being made available on a preferential seating basis to the families of 9/11 victims, those injured in the attacks, first responders and others who participated in the rescue and recovery efforts, 9/11 volunteers, military service personnel and public safety officers. Because the demand for these tickets may exceed the capacity of the theater, tickets will be issued through a lottery system. You'll be able to request one ticket for yourself and one for a guest of your choosing. Names will then be selected randomly. So it is possible you may not get tickets. We apologize in advance if that is the case. You will be notified within a few days thereafter whether or not you have been selected to receive tickets, and those receiving tickets will be provided with additional information about exactly when to arrive and what they'll need to bring, i.e., photo ID. Please note once again: The window for registering a request for tickets will only be open until SATURDAY, August 29, 2009, at 5:00 PM ET. After that you may not be able to request tickets to this event. There will be a security requirement because of the prominence of the expected presenters and performers, which means that ticket holders may need to check in at least 90 minutes prior to start of the event, and present government issued-IDs, which must match the names of those pre-registered for the event. Tickets cannot be sold. If you absolutely cannot attend yourself after being sent your tickets, you can contact us up to 48 hours in advance at email@example.com for assistance. There is no guarantee we'll be able to accommodate your request to transfer your tickets however. Thanks, as always, for your support of the nonprofit 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance initiative.

Hey Microsoft! Time To Step Up Your Game
4.3By Athanasios Zarkadas March 29, 2012 02:39 PM
Htcpedia news:
News coming out of DigiTimes states that Windows smartphone makers are pressing Microsoft to start taking steps to secure a future stake in the mobile market.
Microsoft's Windows mobile platform was supposed to wow the world and explode in popularity but nothing like that has ever happened... yet. Makers of Windows smartphones need to see some significant changes in the way Microsoft protects its operating system and to allow for companies to add their own personal touch as they do with the Google Android operating system.
This could be a great thing for Microsoft to pump some needed life saving energy in to a failing smartphone operating system. If anything, Microsoft should pay attention to what is happening to Blackberry's RIM operating system. Market application availability for Windows and RIM are sad in comparison to the Android and Apple markets which both are currently over 400,000 apps compared to 70,000 for Microsoft.
This is simple, but somehow gets complicated in a corporate conference table. The consumers of the world are looking for smartphones that can do more, not less. How could you possibly sway people over to your brand by saying "Hey, check us out! We cost the same but do much less!" This is their marketing strategy?
Wake up Microsoft, your getting crushed. If your current corporate leaders are not able to make the correct decisions in the advancement of Microsoft, then it may be time for new leadership and ideas.

This week marks the publication week of Jennifer Hubbard's spellbinding YA debut THE SECRET YEAR, which is about a high schooler, Colt, who was secretly dating a rich girl for a year, and no one knew - not even her boyfriend. When she dies in a car crash he discovers her diary, which is full of memories and unsent letters that describe how much she cared about him and reveals the things she didn't have the courage to tell him while she was alive.
It's a poignant and unforgettable novel about love and loss, and, per Booklist, "is a fine addition to the pantheon of YA literature." Really really amazing, heartbreaking, moving, and etc. Though books don't have a ratings system, THE SECRET YEAR is intended for an older young adult audience and as always all the parents out there should use their own discretion.
So. For the first time IN BLOG HISTORY (er, well, for this blog's history anyway), in honor of THE SECRET YEAR we will have a writing prompt contest!
Your prompt: Write the most compelling (fictional) teen diary entry. It may be a diary entry or an unsent letter, but it should be in a teen's voice.
That's all you gotta do.
Let's start with the prizes.
The GRAND PRIZE ULTIMATE WINNER of the THE SECRET YEAR Teen Diary Writing Contest Extravaganza will win:
- A signed copy of THE SECRET YEAR (pending winner's proximity to the US of A)
- Their choice of a query critique, partial critique, or 10 minute phone conversation/consultation/dish session
- The pride of knowing OMG you are like the greatest writer for teens ever.
Runners up will receive a signed THE SECRET YEAR bookmark (pending finalists' proximity to USA), plus a query critique and/or other agreed-upon prize.
Now for the rules. Please note that all rules may and probably will be amended at my sole (and fickle) discretion.
1. Please enter one teen diary entry not to exceed 500 words in the comments section of this blog post. E-mail subscribers: you must must must must must (must) enter in the official contest thread. Please do not e-mail me your entries! If you need help leaving a comment, please consult this post.
2. You may enter once, and once you may enter.
3. Spreading the word about the contest is not only encouraged, it is strongly encouraged.
4. Snarky comments, anonymous or otherwise, about entries, the weather, the Na'vi tribe of blue people, and/or Mike Tyson will be deleted with relish. You will find the nearest free speech zone approximately 500 pixels away from this blog.
5. Please please check and double-check your entry before posting. If you spot an error after posting: please do not re-post. I go through the entries sequentially and the repeated deja vu repeated deja vu from reading the same entry only slightly different makes my head spin. I'm not worried about typos, nor should you be.
6. I will be the sole judge of the contest.
7. You must be at least 14 years old and less than 137 years old to enter. No exceptions.
8. I'm on Twitter! You can find me at @nathanbransford and I may be posting updates about the contest.
9. The deadline for this contest is 4:00 PM Pacific Time on Wednesday January 6th. Finalists will be announced Thursday morning, and you will have the opportunity to vote on the winner, which will be announced on Friday.
To get you in the teen diary spirit, here is a brief excerpt from one of Julia's unsent letters to Colt in THE SECRET YEAR:
Dear CM:
I can't stop thinking about you. I'm supposed to see Austin tonight, and I'd rather chew on sandpaper. If I have to listen to one more story about how wasted he got, or the magic chemical mixture he invented to clean a smudge off his car seats, I'll hang myself. Why do I stay with him? You never ask, but sometimes I wonder if it bothers you that I'm with him. Maybe you're even glad. It lets you off the hook. I told you once that you wouldn't want to be my boyfriend, and you didn't argue with me.
The thing about Austin is, we have a lot in common. We both like dancing and partying, and it's fun until he gets too drunk. Sometimes on Sunday afternoons, I go to his house and the family's sitting around with the Sunday paper all over the place, and maybe we play a game or something, and it's nice. I belong there. With Austin, everything fits. With you, I never know.
Good luck! May the best teen diary writer win!
UPDATE: Time's up! Thank you so much for entering!

Best Fall Bags 2013
Long before Nichola Formichetti, Lady Gaga's former stylist and the designer behind her infamous meat dress, lent his theatrical touch to the brand, its namesake was establishing the Thierry Mugler ethos: masterful tailoring that exaggerated the female form to Salvador Dalí-like proportions; an obsession with fetishism via the Marquis de Sade; and a Frida Kahlo-influenced love for morphing humans into other things (say, motorcycle handlebars?). For his spring 1997 haute couture presentation, all those trademarks coalesced into a show about one of surrealism's beloved symbols—insects—with the most arresting look being this gown whose back unfurled into a set of wings that was absolutely the stuff of dreams.

Have a Holly Jolly Court Case
Submitted anonymously and published in the "Troy Sentinel" newspaper on December 23, 1823, the famous poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas," also known as "T'was the Night Before Christmas," will be the subject of litigation on Wednesday, December 18 at the Rensselaer County Courthouse.
Two local attorneys will argue for the families that claim their ancestor wrote it – either a wealthy Biblical scholar from Manhattan, Clement Clarke Moore, or a gentlemen farmer from the Hudson Valley, Henry Livingston Jr.
The Rensselaer County Historical Society and Duncan Crary Communications of Troy have set up a mock trial between two families. The Moores will be defended by E. Stewart Jones and the Livingstons will be represented by Jack Casey and his daughter Molly Casey.
"We're giving this literary whodunit a full-blown mock trial that's a bit like a real life 'Miracle on 34th Street,'" said Crary, an author and public relations consultant. "Even the court officers will be on duty to complete the authentic trial experience."
The trial is Wednesday, Dec. 18, at 6 p.m., with Jones, Casey, a retired NYS Supreme Court Justice Bernard J. "Bud" Malone will hear the trial and a jury made up of spectators at the Rensselaer County Courthouse.
Clement Clarke Moore, a wealthy biblical scholar of Manhattan, later claimed authorship and has been officially credited ever since.
Henry Livingston Jr., a gentleman farmer of the Hudson Valley, may have been the true, unrecognized author, according to his descendants. Backing their assertions is Vassar College professor and literary forensics expert Don Foster, whose 2000 book "Author Unknown" presented a strong case for Livingston.
On the other hand, Dr. Joe Nickell thoroughly refuted those claims in his book "Pen, Ink and Evidence," also published in 2000. Both works served as inspiration for the upcoming courtroom showdown.
Jones is a third-generation lawyer. His grandfather, Abbott Jones, founded the firm in 1898 and famously defended Prohibition gangster Jack "Legs" Diamond in an infamous Dec. 17, 1931 trial in the same courtroom where "Livingston v. Moore" will be tried.
The courtroom is named The John T. Casey Ceremonial Court, named for Jack Casey's father who served there as State Supreme Court Justice.
Real court officers, providing security, will give mock trial goers an authentic experience. But the spirit will be fun and lively, Crary said, noting that a saxophone playing Santa Claus is expected to entertain the audience during a brief jury deliberation.
Casey is taking seriously his chance to defeat his formidable opponent in court. "We're representing the underdog, Henry Livingston," Casey said. "But Troy folks like the underdog."
Jones said he plans to play for laughs. "This is the most frivolous litigation ever brought before a judge in this illustrious courthouse," Jones joked. "I will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt in court that Moore was the author."
Actors playing the spirits of Livingston and Moore will take the stand under the direction of David Baecker, an assistant professor of Theatre at Russell Sage College. Rensselaer County Historian Kathryn Sheehan will give expert testimony.
"I think the evidence on both sides is compelling," said Sheehan, who assisted Foster with research for the chapter of his book dedicated to the poem's authorship controversy. "I'll leave it up to the jury as to who really wrote the poem."
Admission is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis.
There will be a post-trial party at the nearby Rensselaer County Historical Society, with a $5 suggested donation to benefit that organization. For information about this event, contact Duncan Crary at 518-274-2723 or visit: DuncanCrary.com.
Sponsoring the event is Gramercy Communications, a public relations firm headquartered in the historic Troy Sentinel building at 225 River Street. A bronze plaque commemorating the site where "A Visit from Saint Nicholas" was first published is affixed to the building's exterior wall, crediting Moore as the author.
"The jury might order us to include an asterisk with that plaque," said Tom Nardacci, founder and president of Gramercy Communications. Nardacci paid to have the Sentinel newspaper's archives digitized, including the edition featuring the poem, and donated them to the Troy Public Library.
"Regardless of this trial's outcome, Troy, New York will remain the undisputed place that first shared this holiday treasure with the world," said Crary, 35, who promotes the city's history and culture as an author and public relations consultant. "'A Visit From Saint Nicholas' first introduced the classic imagery we now associate with Santa Claus. This little city gave America two endearing symbols of our nation's ideals: Uncle Sam, our nation's personification based on a Troy meatpacker Samuel Wilson, and that jolly old elf, Santa Claus."

I have a usb wireless mouse that I had to do a "modprobe psmouse" to get working. Not to sure about blue tooth
how so i install a blue tooth mouse ?
i have a toshiba tecraM and everything is working great , but
the f@!#$g mouse is not working ?!
please help
I have a usb wireless mouse that I had to do a "modprobe psmouse" to get working. Not to sure about blue tooth
no good , thanks
1) Open /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth.conf and add
2) Start your bluetooth servicesCode:HCID_ENABLE=true HIDD_ENABLE=true
3) Find out your mouses bd_addrCode:bash /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start
4) Load the hidp kernel moduleCode:hcitool scan
5) Now you can connect to the mouseCode:modprobe -v hidp
6) Check your connectionCode:hidd --connect <bd_addr>
And you are done, hope this helps.Code:hidd --show
just had an email from kobibn
Maybe move this post over to the tut's section ??Originally Posted by kobibn
To connect my mouse I only needed to do three steps.
I had to edit my rc.bluetooth.conf the first time I booted backtrack (persistent USB).
Then everytime I boot after that I have to do:
Is there a way to do thebash /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start
hidd --connect MY:MO:US:EM:AC:AD
automatically every time backtrack boots... its a real pain having to do that everytime, even with aliases its still an unecessary step.bash /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start
hidd --connect MY:MO:US:EM:AC:AD
I have it setup like this in ubuntu but cannot figure out how to do the same thing in backtrack.
Thanks a lot secure_it. I knew it was something like that but I was getting tired of searching. I'll have to see if it works though... if the mouse isnt in discovery mode it has a hard time connecting (which I realize doesnt make sense because Ubuntu connects to my mouse no problem and I never have to put it in discovery mode)
I added those two lines to /etc/fstab but the mouse does not connect on startup even if i have it in discovery mode. If I open a shell though, the last two commands in the history are those two commands...so it looks like it executes them but it still doesn't work. Is there a more standard way of doing this... like editing the bluetooth configuration file?
vi mouse.sh #put all commands you want to execute without typing again n #again,save and close with :wq
chmod +x #make it executable
sh mouse.sh or ./mouse #everytime when you run pc simply run this #script with one command shot

Tornados fall at home to Carson-Newman, 106-84February 18, 2009
Winn sits 13 points shy of 1,000 points for her career
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados and the Eagles battled out in their WBCA PinkZone game on February 18th. Samantha Winn continued her recent hot streak scoring 20 or more points in four of the past five games, but Carson-Newman had ten players score on their way to recording a 106-84 victory.
The teams combined to hit 29 three-pointers during the offensive explosion as Brevard hit 42.9 percent (15-35) from behind the arc, and Carson-Newman hit 56.0 percent (14-25). The difference in the game came on the battle of the boards as the Eagles held a 43-31 rebounding edge.
Brevard was led by Winn with 20 points and eight rebounds. Amber Roberts broke out from a recent scoring funk, connecting on six three's for 18 points, and Amanda Whitaker had 14 as the Tornados fell to 6-18, 0-13 in the South Atlantic Conference. Winn currently sits 13 points shy of 1,000 for her career.
Ashley Kyle led the visiting Eagles (17-7, 8-5 SAC) with 23 points, while Lindsey Eggleston scoring 20. Three Eagles had double-doubles as Ashley Tipton had 18 points and 10 assists, Zoriah Williams had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and Shari Buford broke 1,000 points for her career with 3:31 left in the first half, on her way to a 14 point-10 rebound night.
Buford scored the first points of the game on a layup off the pass by Eggleston and Eggleston put in a three-pointer as Carson-Newman went up 5-0 before the Tornados scored. A jumper by Anna Schlobohm in the paint off the assist by Winn put Brevard on the board with 1:40 into the game.
A jumper by Tipton put the Eagles lead back to five, before Whitaker put in a layup and a three from the top of the key to tie the game up at 7 with 16:59 left in the first half.
A three-pointer by Winn from the right side tied the game up at 15 with 12:28 on the clock in the first half. After Tipton and Whitaker traded three-pointers, the Eagles went on a 34-14 run to close out the half up 52-32.
Roberts hit three three-pointers in the second half and Winn added nine points, but Carson-Newman kept the game in check as the lead did not go below 16 as the Eagles took the win, 106-84.
$635 was raised for the WBCA Kay Yow Fund for Breast Cancer Awareness through donations, gate proceeds and remembrance ribbon sales during the game between the Tornados and the Eagles.
Brevard stays at home as they close out the home portion of their season with a rematch against Tusculum College on Saturday, February 21st. The Lady Pioneers won the first game 98-57 on December 6th. Tip-off for the Tornados-Lady Pioneers game is set for 2 p.m. Carson-Newman stays on the road as they head to Harrogate, Tenn. to take on Lincoln Memorial, with game time set for 6 p.m.

LONG BEACH — HUD officials on Friday awarded a $2.4 million federal grant to reduce health hazards that pose dangers to children, including lead-based paint, asthma and allergy triggers.
The three-year grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will provide nearly $2 million directly on controlling lead-related hazards in 185 Long Beach dwellings.
Long Beach was one of only four entities in the state to receive the lead-based paint grant, and has previously received more than $10 million in similar grants to assist thousands of residents.
Home buyers and renters must be told if there is any lead-based paint in the house or apartment they're interested in, according to Environmental Protection Agency rules.
Anyone who fails to inform prospective purchasers or renters about the paint could face a civil suit and possible jail sentence.
The disclosure requirement applies to lead-based paint used in houses before 1978.
There were 61,000 low-income units in Long Beach built before 1978, and 13,000 built before 1940, according to Long Beach Health Department environmental health specialist Nelson Kerr.
Since the city began its mitigation efforts in 1994, it has cleared 1,780 dwellings of lead-paint hazards, Kerr said.
"Our work is not done yet," he added.
According to the EPA, more than 64 million residences in the country contain some lead paint.
Lead poisoning attacks the nervous system and can cause brain damage. Children are susceptible to such poisoning from paint chips and dust particles, health experts say.
More than 1.7 million children under the age of 6 have unsafe lead levels in their blood, much of it from exposure from paint, according to the EPA.
Under the EPA requirement, potential buyers and renters must be given a pamphlet about health dangers of lead-based paint and be told if the residence they're looking at has any such paint. They must be given copies of any test results on the paint. Purchasers must be given 10 days to assess potential risk and inspect the property before any contract goes into effect.
"The City of Long Beach has a large number of pre-1950 s homes, which may harbor health risks such as lead-based paint, pest infestation and mold," Dr. Mauro Torno, interim city health officer, said in a statement.
"These HUD programs assist in identifying public health risks in the home and removing or controlling them," Torno added.
The second component of the grant, the Healthy Homes Program, provided $180,000, offering the delivery of interventions intended to improve the health of children with asthma, reduce housing-related environmental hazards contributing to asthma and allergies and reduce safety hazards contributing to unintentional injuries.
The grant will target downtown, Central and North Long Beach.

Who should take Distance Learning courses?
Online courses are designed for highly motivated students who cannot or do not want to come to campus because of their work schedules, family needs or other reasons. Distance learning students can control their own schedules by working with the course materials at their convenience. However, the courses are not self-paced; classes begin and end on the same schedule as regular campus classes. Also, assignments and exams are due on specific days. If you can answer YES! to the following questions, distance learning classes may be right for you:
Test your technical strengths:
You will need all of the technical skills mentioned above in online courses. If you need to learn some technology, a variety of computer and internet classes are offered on campus. See the current schedule of courses for details.

To comply with a new state law, the Central School Board has approved a new salary schedule that places less emphasis on an employee's experience and education, and more on whether the job is in demand and how effective the employee is in doing that job.
Superintendent Michael Faulk told the School Board Monday that Act 1 of the 2012 regular legislative session requires the school system to publish a new salary schedule by January. It takes effect at the start of the 2013-14 school year.
"I will meet with all employee groups to go over the new proposed schedule," Faulk said.
He said he could suggest changes, depending on the feedback he gets, and would return to the board with a final salary schedule by March.
Public schools historically have paid similar groups of employees based on experience, and to a lesser extent their certification and education levels. The Legislature, as part of Gov. Jindal's education agenda, changed that. Now, schools will pay educators based on their effectiveness on a new employee evaluation system.
Central's new schedule freezes salaries at their current levels. New teachers with a bachelor's degree will still start at $40,086 a year, the starting salary in place since Central formed its own school system in 2007. Teachers with 25 years or more of experience and a Ph.D. top out at $61,642 a year.
The new schedule, however, will not include "step increases" where employees earn $640 more each year they stay with the school system.
Now, the most Central school system employees can earn is $525 a year on top of their base salary if they score well on three different factors — experience, demand and effectiveness. Each factor earns an employee at most $175.
Since jobs in Central are already in high demand, Faulk said, teachers can show they meet the demand criterion, and earn the $175, by being certified in their teaching area.
The effectiveness measure comes into play when teachers earn high ratings through the state's new COMPASS teacher evaluation system. Faulk said he may increase the $175 a year for effectiveness in the future, especially if teachers show they are effective for two or more years.
In other action, the board unanimously reappointed James Gardner and Will Easley as board president and vice president for two more years. Both first assumed those jobs in January 2011. No one else sought the positions.
"I appreciate that vote of confidence," Gardner said.
The board also held a final public hearing Monday on what to do with 29 acres at 11526 Sullivan Road, which for decades served as the home of Central Middle School. On Oct. 8, the board held a lengthy hearing and collected many ideas, including possibly making the property home to a new sports complex or the new town center for Central.
Gardner said the board will soon go through the list of ideas and narrow them down to ones that are affordable and make the most sense.
Faulk said that the original deed connected with the donation of a portion of the 29 acres is not as restrictive as it appeared to be.
"We have a lot more flexibility than I thought," Faulk said.

Kate, another woman who frequently posts in this forum, can probably tell you a lot more about this than I can. What I do know is that "male" and "female" sperm differ in strength and agility. I do not remember all the reasons why, but you are more likely to conceive a girl with less "deep" penetration during intercourse.

[display_podcast]We tend to gauge who gets into heaven similarly to hitting in major league baseball. No one even hopes to bat a 1.000 batting average because it's impossible. So, since it's impossible, the standard for who is "good", who is "great" and who is "horrible" is simply based on whoever has the higher or lower batting averages.

Find reviews of the latest BenQ digital cameras.
26 March 2012
BenQ's budget 21x superzoom delivers great value in some areas but falls short in others
28 May 2008
With a Pentax lens and 2.7-inch monitor the BenQ C850 is looking good.
08 January 2008
10 megapixels for under £100? What's the catch?
02 October 2007
"Metal is the primary element symbolized the manhood", apparently. BenQ is back with a stylish new digital camera.
07 August 2007
Let's hope this isn't the last good BenQ digital camera
22 June 2007
It may be the world's slimmest 7MP camera, but is it any good?
06 October 2006
As camera resolutions continue to spiral, BenQ has squeezed 10-megapixels into its latest compact.
14 March 2006
BenQ's DC X600 may be a rebadged Pentax but Cliff Smith explains why that's no bad thing.
18 October 2004
A five megapixel digital camera under £200 sounds good, but can BenQ's retro-styled DC C50 shoot as sharp as it looks?

Nice and quick service
Did a good job, came and collected the car within 20 minutes of calling me, very impressed with the service
Good job and quick
Reasonable and quick. WiIl use again for continuation of work required.
We were left stranded and the receptionist started getting attitude when we complained about the work carried out
Quick and friendly staff fantastic value highly recommeded
Absolutely first class service. I got a full service, exhaust repair and an ABS fault fixed. Silvio kept me fully informed of timescales and cost and even picked up and dropped my car back off. I'd definitely recommend and use them again.
As always, top work, did an Air Con Service, and Pollen Filter change on 2 of our Cars today. Both are icy cold, and better than new! Job well done, thanks. See you soon!
I was exceptionally pleased with the friendly and efficient attitude of all their staff. The work was carried out quickly as per the quoted price and I will definatley use them again. Superb garage.
Top work as always, fast, friendly and fair prices. Exceptional job on the Driveshaft Oil Seals & Gearbox Oil replacement. Highly recommended to all, will always come back in future, Thanks again.
Arranged for CB Autos to attend my property to do a diagnostics check. Took time off work and waited in all morning and never showed up. No phone calls or communication, terrible customer service!! Don't waste your time with this site!!!
No problems initially - great communication to arrange a diagnostic, turned up on time and spent an hour checking electrics and locks. However, he then didn't call the following day to provide a quotation to do the work as arranged, and no response to my text. If you don't want to do the job, just say so - it prevents a delay in getting the job done and wasted money for a diagnostic that I'll have to pay again to someone who will actually finish the work! Maybe useful if you just want the diagnostic to then do the job yourself but for the vast majority of us, don't bother.
Wasn't open when arrived and didn't contact me, disappointed and wasted journey
Carl was brilliant, cost was as per the quote and car is running well. Would recommend
Outstanding service from Carl at CB Auto. What a great experience, not having the car break down - that was stressful - but the knowledgeable and swift help from CB Auto. Carl knew instantly which part had failed just from listening to the engine. I'm an instant fan. Carl and CB Auto will be taking care of my vehicles in future.
Very pleased with the job. Would definitely use again. Highly recommend
Arrived ontime, did the job with no problems (fit driveshaft) and charged the quoted amount. 100% will use again
Booked with very short notice on a bank holiday Monday. Diagnosed and fixed fault. Great price, speedy service. I would definitely recommend and use again. Thank you.
I phoned in the morning, job completed the same afternoon. Very pleasant and efficient service.
Great all round - thanks very much!
Great garage, great service although took a bit longer than expected.
First class work carried out same day. Greatly appreciated and thanks.
Fast service great garage would use again
I have been looking for a reliable, honest and competent mechanic for some time now. RG Motors delivered this in spades. From the minute I contacted the garage to the completion of the job I was treated fairly and with respect by professional and knowledgeable mechanics. I have no reservation in recommending this garage to anyone. I will definitely use this garage again.
The price was very competitive and I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The communication from start to finish was excellent. I would highly recommend this garage.
Unable to complete job
The work was carried out quickly and efficiently in a friendly and professional manner. I would not hesitate to use A&A Auto Electrics again and would recommend them to anyone.
Fantastic service mechanic came to my home address at 9pm on a Sunday evening and fixed my car within 40 minutes.
Superb honest prompt and knew his stuff ! 10 minutes and job done, would recommend to anyone cheers Mick
Delighted with the service

Professor Geddes gives a sketch of what he conceives the vast and ever-growing literature of cities will one day be.
Minister Geddes was within, and fortunately had not yet gone to bed.
We therefore do not print a number of letters asking why there is no one named Geddes on the side.
No one could have seen Mr Geddes without pronouncing him a man of mark.
President Geddes, Secretary Jocelyn, and others spoke well and rather briefly.
Geddes named them Philozoon, and showed experimentally that they give out oxygen under the influence of sunlight (compare 90).
Professor Geddes relies on the changes in the soil and climate to account for the origin of spines in plants.
Let us recur to our Geddes and Thomson, and at once we have the key.
But a young friend of mine was with Mr. Geddes at the time this violent procedure took place, and he has not since been heard of.
Prof. Geddes decides that the City may be taken "as the integrate of study."

Freezing rain continued piling up, shellacking Kentucky in heavy ice. The added weight snapped trees and knocked down power lines. Over 600,000 homes and businesses went dark in what would be the worst power outage in state history. Many Kentuckians went without power for 10 days. An estimated 55 lost their lives. All 4,600 of the state's National Guard were enlisted to aid in clean up efforts.

Cleveland teachers protest proposed budget cuts
(Cleveland) — Several hundred teachers turned out to protest $21 million in proposed cuts in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
The district plans to make the cuts next year because of declining enrollment and promises not to lay off teachers. The educators packed an elementary school cafeteria for a school board meeting Tuesday night to make it known how the cuts will affect their classrooms.
The Plain Dealer reports that teachers complained the district is making the reductions even after voters passed a tax in 2012 to prevent cuts.
District Chief Executive Officer Eric Gordon said the tax revenue will not make up for the reduction in money from the state due to declining enrollment.
The cuts became public this week when the Cleveland Teachers Union called attention to them.

The Bayer Hemophilia Awards Program demonstrates Bayer's commitment to the bleeding disorders community and to advancing the state of the art of hemophilia care.
As Award decisions are taken by the independent Grants Review and Awards Committee and based on an applicant's merit and eligibility, all decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
Special Project Award
The Special Project Award is designed to support a wide range of research projects in the field of hemophilia. Examples of the types of projects that might be considered for these awards include, but are not limited to, those related to:
- Clinical research
- Basic research
- Assessment and intervention in psychosocial issues facing patients and their families
- Assessment of quality of life and other health economic outcomes in patients with bleeding disorders, and the effects of treatment modalities on such outcomes.
The Award is designed to encourage hypothesis-driven research, where the investigator is attempting to prove or disprove a set of assumptions. It is not designed to support studies such as the collection of epidemiological data.
Any individual affiliated with a facility that provides care to hemophilia patients - including medical universities, hospitals, blood centers and other laboratories - may make requests for grants. Each grant will be reviewed on its merit.
Applicants will be judged according to the following criteria:
- Scientific merit
- Innovation
- Clinical/medical impact
- Quality of research environment
- Alignment with program mission and objectives.
The funding will be awarded to allow the project to run for one or two years. Up to four new awards will be made annually. The maximum grant is US$100,000 over one year or US$200,000 over two years. Part of the Award may fund salary support. The candidate must spend at least 25% of his/her time on the project in order to request salary support.
Outcomes Research
"Outcomes research seeks to understand the end results of particular healthcare practices and interventions. End results include effects that people experience and care about, such as change in the ability to function. In particular, for individuals with chronic conditions – where cure is not always possible – end results include quality of life as well as mortality. By linking the care people get to the outcomes they experience, outcomes research has become the key to developing better ways to monitor and improve the quality of care."¹
This specific one-off award category is open to healthcare professionals who are also eligible for the main categories, i.e. clinicians, investigators and allied healthcare professionals affiliated with a facility that carries out research into inherited bleeding disorders, or provides care to patients with such disorders.
The award is intended to encourage outcomes research in haemophilia and other hereditary bleeding disorders. Over the last decade a range of outcome assessment tools have been developed to record the natural history of bleeding disorders and the result of therapeutic interventions. In this category we would therefore like to invite applications that look at further development of relevant tools of outcome assessment or their validation and applications in different health care situations. Examples of the types of projects that might be considered for this award include, but are not limited to, those related to:
- Use of different clinimetric instruments to assess bleeding disorders and the outcome of therapeutic interventions
- Health economic outcomes research
- Patient-reported outcomes and patient preferences
- Quality of life.
Applicants will be judged by the same criteria as the other categories, i.e. project's merit, innovation, potential for impact and quality of environment in which the project will be undertaken.
The funding will be awarded to allow the project to run for one or two years. The maximum grant is US $25,000 per year.
¹ http://www.ahrq.gov/research/findings/factsheets/outcomes/outfact/index.html Accessed September 2014.
Early Career Investigator Award
This award will fund salary support and research funds for a junior faculty member who wishes to undertake a mentored basic and/or clinical research project in the bleeding disorders field. The applicant would be expected to dedicate a significant amount of time to the project. Examples of topics for research projects that might be considered for these awards include, but are not limited to:
- Clinical studies
- Properties and delivery of clotting factor proteins
- Assays and models

Institute Establishes Presidential Chair to Honor Irwin M. Jacobs
The Salk Institute has established the Irwin M. Jacobs Presidential Chair based on an endowment from Qualcomm and its employees. The Chair commemorates Jacobs' decision to step down as chairman of Qualcomm's Board of Directors and recognizes his ongoing dedicated leadership of the Salk Institute's Board of Trustees.
The Presidential Chair will be Salk's largest endowment of its kind and will provide $4 million to the Institute when fully funded. The inaugural chair-holder will be the Salk President, William R. Brody.
"Endowing a chair that will help ensure superb leadership at the Salk seemed a very fitting way to honor Irwin," said Paul E. Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm. "His legacy is linked to the attraction and development of the world's finest executive talent, and his instincts are always to motivate, encourage and promote groundbreaking research."
"Irwin Jacobs' exemplary leadership of the Salk Board has been critical to enhancing the Institute's international renown," said Salk Executive Vice President Marsha Chandler. "This Presidential Chair is the perfect recognition of Irwin's inspiring guidance and commitment to the Salk's future."
Irwin Jacobs and his Qualcomm cofounders redefined how the world thinks of telecommunications and information technology. More than 20 years after its start, Qualcomm is a leading innovator of advanced wireless technologies, products and services.
"We are pleased and proud to play a role in the ongoing excellence of the Salk Institute," said Paul Jacobs. "Salk discoveries are transforming our understanding of human health, and this is an outstanding way to support one of Irwin's major passions."

If Alfie Boe had gotten a job with the Salt Lake City Police Department, he probably wouldn't be the guest performer at this year's Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert.
About a decade ago, during a particularly lean period for the British tenor, he inquired about becoming a personal trainer within the police department. "Then I started getting more work," he said. "The music picked up."
Boe, who is married to a Salt Lake City native and has a home in Utah, has come a long way from winning the 1994 West London Karaoke Championship.
Boe was featured in Baz Luhrmann's production of "La bohème," for which he won a Tony Award. But perhaps his most high-profile gig was starring as prisoner-turned-mayor Jean Valjean in a 2010 London concert performance of the musical "Les Misérables"celebrating the musical's 25th anniversary. The filmed concert became a top-rated PBS special that was later screened in movie theaters and then released on video. The concert encore of "Bring Him Home" was credited to "The Valjean Quartet," with Boe alongside prior Valjean portrayers Colm Wilkinson, John Owen-Jones and Simon Bowman.
This summer, the 39-year-old singer earned more attention when he performed at the Diamond Jubilee Concert for Queen Elizabeth. Boe sang "O sole mio," leading into Elvis Presley's "It's Now or Never." During the concert, he also performed "Somewhere" from "West Side Story" with soprano Renée Fleming on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
All of these performances helped showcase Boe's show-stopping range. Yet despite his far-reaching musical career, Boe says that every time he sings in public, he still gets butterflies.
"The nerves will be there," he said of his upcoming performance with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, which incidentally will be his first formal concert in Salt Lake City. "I always tend to get nervous. I try to channel those. I pace a lot. That tends to help."
Boe performs often in London and Europe, but returns to Salt Lake City whenever possible. He and his wife, Sarah, and their two children like to hike, and eat at Pat's Barbecue and the Trolley Wing Company. He's even taken to skiing, despite one of Sarah's relatives leading him down a hair-raising mogul run at Snowbird during one of his first ski trips.
Boe said he was flattered when the choir extended the invitation about a year ago. "I never turn down a gig," he said.
Mack Wilberg, music director of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, said inviting Boe was an easy decision. "He is a remarkable talent with a stirring and dramatic vocal style that fits well with the choir," Wilberg said. "When you think about it, Alfie Boe carries on the tradition of a long list of classically trained British artists who have joined their vocal talents with the choir."
NBC anchor Tom Brokaw said he felt privileged to be asked to serve as the concert's narrator.
In a phone interview, the 72-year-old broadcaster recalled his fond childhood memories of listening to the Tabernacle Choir's annual Christmas concerts while at home in South Dakota.
Later in his life, he and his family began traveling to Utah to ski, with Brokaw taking to the slopes for the first time in Park City in 1970. Until recently, his family owned a home near the Sundance Resort.
His deep affinity for Utah continued in 2002, when he covered the Winter Olympics for NBC News and was granted an interview with Gordon B. Hinckley, then president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
In 2011, Brokaw was invited to to record "9/11: Rising Above," a special broadcast of "Music and the Spoken Word." At that time, the possibility of returning for the Christmas concert was broached. He joked that at first he thought the choir wanted him to sing.
"I live in a family of very talented vocalists," he said. "I am tone-deaf. I can't sing 'Happy Birthday.' "
His wife Meredith's birthday is Dec. 25, so Christmas has always been an important day for Brokaw. He said when she was younger and heard the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing "Hallelujah" on one Christmas, she thought it was especially for her.

City of Houston Honors UH Professor with Hispanic Heritage AwardNicolas Kanellos Directs Arte Público Press and Recovering U.S., Hispanic Literary Heritage Program
October 8, 2013-Houston-Nicolas Kanellos, Brown Foundation Professor of Hispanic Literature and Director of Arte Público Press (APP), is among five Houstonians to receive the 2013 Mayor's Hispanic Heritage Award. The honor is part of the city's observance of Hispanic Heritage Month.
"It is a true honor to see my work recognized in this way, but there are so many people in education who merit attention and support in what they do," Kanellos said. "I hope that this honor serves to showcase Arte Público Press as an important effort for Houston and beyond."
Arte Público Press is the oldest and most established publisher of contemporary and recovered literature by Hispanic authors in the nation. Kanellos also directs the Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage program, housed in APP, which strives to reconstitute the literary and historical legacy of Hispanics in the U.S. from colonial times to 1960. To date, hundreds of thousands of essays, autobiographies, historical and journalistic writings, novels, diaries and letters are being integrated into textbooks and curriculum from kindergarten to high school to college.
"There is no other effort like this to do the hard work of digging into archives, rescuing perishable historical documents and making them accessible, so we have a more complete understanding about how this country developed and what role Latinos played," he said.
In 1994, Kanellos was appointed to the National Council on the Humanities by President Bill Clinton. He also has authored several scholarly books and articles, and has provided invaluable counsel and assistance to other writers.
Other honorees include:
Dolores Lolita Guerrero—Lifetime Achievement
Macario Ramirez—Art in the Community
Mario Martinez—Community Activist
Nohemi Chavez—Youth Activist.
All the honorees will be recognized at an awards reception from 5:30 -7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

GRAPEVINE, Texas — Lower in-store traffic at GameStop during the holiday resulted in a decline in same-store sales during the first nine weeks of the company's fourth quarter.
Total global sales for the nine-week period ended December 29 decreased 4.6%, compared to com 2011 holiday sales period. Comparable store sales decreased 4.4%, with U.S. comps of -3.5% and international comps of -6.4%.
Despite soft sales, GameStop highlighted several successes, including the Wii U launch and strong digital and mobile growth. Although it was not enough to offset lower store traffic, CEO Paul Raines contends that GameStop has a strong market that positions the retailer well for 2013, as do anticipated new product launches for this year.
"GameStop experienced mixed results during the holiday selling period. Our successful Wii U launch, strong digital growth and continued momentum in the mobile space were countered by a decline in store traffic," said Paul Raines, CEO. "As a result, GameStop expects its fourth quarter 2012 earnings per share results to be at the low end of its current guidance range. Our strong market share positions us well for the future, and we look forward to new product launches in 2013."
For the holiday period, new hardware sales decreased 2.7%, including the sale of 320,000 Nintendo Wii U units worldwide. Sales of new video game software decreased 5.1% as frontline title releases could not offset a decline in overall store traffic. The pre-owned category declined 15.6% as limited inventory due to fewer new titles released throughout 2012 and less promotional activity negatively impacted sales compared to last year.
GameStop has 6,650 company-operated stores in 15 countries worldwide.

The solution Google was searching for
Google purchased restaurant reviewer Zagat in 2011. Zagat's existing online shop didn't have the functionality Google wanted to sell Zagat's well-loved restaurant guides and products. Google's security and privacy requirements, however, eliminated many ecommerce options.
Security requirements
Not a lot of other platforms could actually agree to work with us under those constraints, but Shopify did. I'm even happier than I thought with Shopify. The Shopify difference was the activity of support and the level of expertise of every person we have talked to at Shopify.
Ease of use
Our online store has created a seamless user experience. If I'm a restaurant owner and I'm featured on Zagat, I can go online right away and order a personal certificate and decal and I will receive them in no time. We're enabling people to get our products in an easy way, while having a great experience with our brand.
We needed a platform that would match our expectations in terms of shop management and user experience, but also in terms of security and privacy. That's why we chose Shopify.
Ecommerce as branding
Revenue is really not the purpose of the store. Our goal is to unify the experience that our users have with the brand. On Shopify, we were able to create a very polished and controlled environment for our brand that we really want to protect.
Future friendly
We were stuck in an old ecommerce environment. With Shopify, we're now at the head of the pack and in a good position to stay in touch with the latest development in the field. We cannot afford to have outdated properties and features.

"Hold The Line": Right-Wing Media Urge GOP Intransigence During Shutdown
Research ››› ››› CONNOR LAND
As the government shutdown loomed and then became a reality, right-wing media figures have called for maintained Republican commitment to keeping the government closed until Democrats agree to significant changes to the Affordable Care Act.
Fox News' Sean Hannity Told Republicans To "Hold The Line" On Shutdown. On October 1, the first day of the government shutdown, Fox News host Sean Hannity took to his radio show, The Sean Hannity Show, and encouraged Republicans to continue the shutdown until their demands are met:
HANNITY: My advice to the Republicans: Hold the line. Stand on your principals. Stand with the American people. Stand for the best healthcare system. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Sean Hannity Show, 10/1/13]
Hannity: "Worst Outcome" Is For Republicans "To Cave" On Ending Shutdown. Later, on Fox News' Hannity, host Hannity told Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) that he didn't think Republicans "should give in at all" to demands to end the shutdown:
HANNITY: I think the worst outcome, though, for the Republicans in the House at this point -- as they have been reasonable and the president totally unreasonable, Reid unreasonable -- is to cave. I don't think they should give in at all. And if that means that they're going to sit this out for a month or two months, or however long the president wants to be arrogant and not talk to anybody, then just sit it out. [Fox News, Hannity, 10/1/13]
Dana Loesch: Republicans Should "Finish The Race, Stay On Course" On Shutdown. When Rep. Scott Rigell (R-VA) tweeted in favor of passing a continuing resolution that would fund the government without changing any other policy, conservative radio host Dana Loesch replied that Republicans should "finish the race" on the shutdown over the Affordable Care Act:
[Twitter.com, 10/1/13]
Later, Loesch tweeted that she agreed with Republican lawmakers who were cheering the shutdown of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a result of the budget impasse:
[Twitter.com, 10/1/13]
Breitbart.com's John Nolte: "Hang In There, GOP!" Breitbart.com columnist John Nolte reacted to the government shutdown by encouraging Republicans to "hang in there" and not negotiate with Democrats:
[Twitter.com, 10/1/13]
Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes: "It's Not A Good Fight If You Surrender." Responding to Rep. Scott Rigell's (R-VA) call for Republicans to negotiate with Democrats, Fox News Radio host Todd Starnes encouraged Republicans not to surrender on the shutdown:
[Twitter.com, 10/1/13]
Fox News' Erick Erickson: "House Republicans Should Hold The Line On Shutdown." In an October 1 FoxNews.com piece titled "Republicans, stand and fight or risk getting nothing from government shutdown," Fox News contributor Erick Erickson wrote (emphasis added):
House Republicans should hold the line. They should demand that ObamaCare be defunded. They are going to get the blame for a shutdown. They might as well own it and keep it shut down until they get their way.
Sure, it will take time, but eventually Barack Obama will blink. I do not think, despite what fickle polling says, that the Republicans will be blamed by killing ObamaCare.
This is a winning issue for the Republicans if they just have the will to fight. But too many of their old guard and outside pundits have been wringing their hands over this for a month. They have not wanted to fight and preemptively took all the blame. [Fox News.com, 10/1/13]
Fox News Contributor Laura Ingraham: Federal Employees Going Without Pay Is "A Dream For A Conservative." On The Laura Ingraham Show, host and Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham said furloughs for nonessential government workers due to the shutdown were "a dream":
INGRAHAM: I slept so well last night. I felt, I don't know, an extra spring in my step. Maybe it's just I feel somehow things are lighter today. The air is crisper, clearer, cleaner. Because we have a lot of nonessential federal employees not being paid. See that's a dream for a conservative. When nonessential federal employees are not clogging up our roads and being paid with my tax dollars. [Courtside Entertainment Group, The Laura Ingraham Show, 10/1/13]
Fox News Contributor Sarah Palin: Caving On The Shutdown "Would Be The Worst Case Scenario" For Republicans. During the September 30 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Fox contributor Sarah Palin urged Republicans not to cave in to demands to prevent the looming government shutdown:
HANNITY: What do you think the worst case scenario for the Republicans is here?
PALIN: Yeah, it would be to cave. That would be the worst case scenario. And this will impact the 2014 midterm elections. [Fox News, Hannity, 9/30/13]
CNN Host Newt Gingrich Tells Republicans "Don't Cave On Shutdown." In a September 30 opinion piece on CNN.com, former Fox News contributor and current CNN Crossfire host Newt Gingrich wrote that House Republicans caving on the government shutdown would be the "worst possible outcome for the country":
The worst possible outcome for the country from the impasse over the continuing resolution that would prevent a government shutdown would be for House Republicans to cave.
Any surrender on the continuing resolution would confirm the contempt with which Obama and Reid already hold Boehner and his Republican colleagues. This fight is about something much bigger than the Republican Party and the future of Obamacare.
The next few weeks might be painful if House Republicans insist on getting to a compromise and refuse to surrender. But the next three years will be frightening if House Republicans cave and the president learns that nothing stands between him and his ability to use overweening power outside the Constitution to advance his ideology.
This is a big moment of decision for America. Don't give in now. [CNN, 9/30/13]

Body Shaming In College Health Services Needs to Stop
"So it says on your record that you have a history with an eating disorder."
"Yes," I sputtered. I know it's true, but no matter how many times the nurse practitioners read it to me at Barnard College Student Health Services, it still feels uncomfortable.
"All right, well, we have a new policy where we have to weigh you once a year. I know we weighed you in the fall, but let's just do it again."
For years, these numbers ruled my world. Every day I would step on the scale, and that determined my worth—which is why in my second year of recovery, I refuse to weigh myself. In the fall, a nurse read the same medical history to me. She told me the same policy, and I stepped …
