By James McCusker Herald Columnist
Manufacturing is one of those things that looks simple from a distance, but can be messy up close. It's a lot like economics in that respect.
For over a half-century, since the end of World War II, the United States has been preaching and practicing an economic policy based on ending import tariffs and other barriers to free trade.
The policy made sense from a theoretical standpoint. Since the time of Adam Smith and David Ricardo, economics has painted a clear picture of the efficiency and consumer benefits of free trade.
Free trade also made sense politically and practically, in the sense that it furthered U.S. interests overseas. No sooner had World War II ended than we found ourselves in a global struggle with world communism. Getting rid of trade barriers fit in well with the joint goal of furthering democracy and economic development as the best bulwark against communist expansion.
As a practical matter, also, the U.S. held so much of the world's manufacturing and agricultural production capability that its capacity greatly exceeded domestic demand. Opening up global markets was the answer to our full employment prayers.
It worked, especially the political part. The spread of democracy and economic growth around the world provided developing countries enough energy and staying power to outlast communism's dreams of world domination.
The U.S. now faces new threats and new economic challenges, though, some of which are the unintended consequences of those same trade policies.
President Barack Obama has made it clear that he wishes to encourage U.S. manufacturing capability, but generally he has seemed more interested in underwriting the development of new technologies than in nurturing and promoting our existing capabilities. He is also interested, quite correctly, in insuring the availability of a skilled work force prepared for today's manufacturing environment.
New technologies and educational changes, however, all deal with the pristine future, still unmarred by the imperfections of the real world. American manufacturing jobs, though, are caught up in the messy present, which has enough grime, politics and jobs on the line to satisfy anybody's taste for reality.
There are two interesting trade policy cases that will test the Obama administration's support for U.S. manufacturing, and its willingness to deal with messy reality.
One of these cases involves Boston-based, New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc., the last maker of athletic shoes to have a manufacturing facility in the United States. It employs more than 1,300 people in its shoe factories in Maine, turning out about a quarter of the shoes sold by the company. The rest are imported.
New Balance has only a minority share of the U.S. market, but a serious effort has been mounted to eliminate the tariff on imported shoes because other U.S. shoe companies see the import duty as draining funds they could put to better use.
Eliminating the tariff would almost certainly mean the end of the New Balance manufacturing jobs. Essentially, the federal government will have to choose between its devotion to free trade and its responsibility to U.S. jobs. It's not easy. It's not clear. It's messy.
Another trade policy case involves an U.S. Air Force contract for Light Air Support airplanes that are destined for use by the Afghan air force. The Beechcraft Co., based in Wichita, Kan., which recently emerged from bankruptcy, has filed a protest over the award of this contract to a team representing Embraer, based in Brazil.
Each of the competing aircraft are capable planes, but the U.S. Air Force has had a clear preference for Sierra-Nevada team that would use the Embraer A29 Super Tucano, which is already in use by several Latin American countries. The Beechcraft Turbo AT-6 promises to be as capable and is considerably less expensive.
Both the Beechcraft and Embraer aircraft have modern capabilities, but designs that are pleasingly retro, evocative of the P-40s of Flying Tigers fame. Several South American air forces flying the Embraer Super Tucano have added the Flying Tiger-like emblematic teeth to their planes' livery and the Beechcraft prototype includes them as well.
The jobs picture in the aircraft decision is not as clear cut as in the New Balance case, since both planes would be assembled in the U.S. and the bulk of the parts for the Embraer would be produced by U.S. manufacturers. However, the larger jobs picture, dependent on Beechcraft's survival as an aircraft manufacturer, is at issue in this contract. It will not be an easy decision. It's messy reality.
Together, the New Balance and the Beechcraft decisions will be a test for the Obama administration's commitment to the reality of U.S. manufacturing, and its willingness to mix it up in the scrimmage of domestic and international negotiations when jobs are on the line.

AcrodermatitisPapular acrodermatitis of childhood; Gianotti-Crosti syndrome; Acrodermatitis - infantile lichenoid; Acrodermatitis - papular infantile; Papulovesicular acro-located syndrome; Acrodermatitis enteropathica
Acrodermatitis is a childhood skin condition that may be accompanied by mild symptoms of fever and malaise. It may also be associated with hepatitis B and other viral infections.
The cause of acrodermatitis is poorly understood, but its link with other infections is well-documented.
In Italian children, acrodermatitis is seen frequently with hepatitis B, but this link is rarely seen in the United States. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV, mononucleosis) is the virus most often associated with acrodermatitis. Other associated viruses inclcude, cytomegalovirus, coxsackie viruses, parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and some live virus vaccines.
A rare, genetic form of acrodermatitis is acrodermatitis enteropathica. In this disorder, zinc is poorly absorbed from the diet. Adding zinc supplements to the diet improves the condition. This form of the disorder can be associated with other abnormalities and development delays.
- Rash or patch on skin
- Brownish-red or copper-colored patch that is firm and flat on top
- String of bumps may appear in a line
- Generally not itchy
- Rash looks the same on both sides of the body
- Rash may appear on the palms and soles -- it does not occur on the back, chest, or belly area (this is one of the ways it is identified -- by the absence of the rash from the trunk of the body)
Other symptoms that may appear include:
- Swollen abdomen
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Tender lymph nodes
Your doctor can diagnose this condition by looking at the skin and rash. The liver, spleen, and lymph nodes may be swollen.
The following tests may be done to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other conditions:
- Bilirubin level
- Hepatitis virus serology or hepatitis B surface antigen
- Liver enzymes (liver function tests)
- Screening for EBV antibodies
- Serum zinc level may be tested in acrodermatitis enteropathica
- Skin biopsy
Acrodermatitis by itself is not treated. Infections associated with this condition, such as hepatitis B and Epstein-Barr, are treated. Cortisone creams may help with itching and irritation.
Acrodermatitis enteropathica improves when the zinc levels in the bodyis returned to normal.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Acrodermatitis usually disappears on its own without treatment or complication. Associated conditions must be watched carefully.
Complications occur as a result of associated conditions, rather than as a result of acrodermatitis.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your child has signs of this condition.

Since writing about my reluctant role as argument mediator between my sons, I have made a point of not intervening and watched these tiffs devolve into physical violence.
Since I wrote the post about my reluctant role as argument mediator between my sons, I have made a change.
I have not intervened. I have not broken things up. I have not separated them, forced them to share, urged them to come to a compromise or solved any conflicts.
To give you an idea what this looks like, I offer a transcription of: Who Has the Rights to the Anakin Skywalker Lego Figure.
Maxon: That's my Anakin.
Ezra: You gave it to me.
Maxon: No I didn't.
Ezra: Yes you did. You built him and gave it to me.
Maxon: No I didn't!
Ezra: Yes you did!
Maxon: NO I DIDN'T!
Ezra: YES YOU DID!
Maxon: You're not getting it.
Ezra: Yes I am.
Maxon: No you're not!
Ezra: Yes I AM!
Maxon: NO YOU'RE NOT!
Ezra: YES I AM!
Maxon: DAD! Ezra is trying to steal my Legos!
Dad: Handle it.
Maxon: What should I do? He keeps taking my Legos!
Dad: It's your problem to solve.
Solution: Maxon strikes Ezra with a Nerf gun.
Physical violence is how most of these arguments have ended, including: Close the Backseat Window (pinching and hand twisting), It's a Calendar/No It's Not, (elbow to the face), That's My Red Lego Light Saber (another elbow, to the chest) and The Green Light Saber Is Mine/No, It's Mine, Yours Is the Blue One (whacking on the head with the light saber, which is probably against the Jedi code).
Now, of course I don't want our boys to hurt each other. But I am also not a stranger to sibling-on-sibing violence. I have three sisters ranging in age from 21 to 41. My 41-year-old sister and I smacked each other around pretty good, and we're super tight. I am fortunate that my 33-year-old sister has forgiven me for being a constant torment to her. There's a part of me that thinks that Ezra's got to learn how far he can push his brother before the claws (or the elbows/Nerf guns/light sabers) come out, and Maxon has to learn when to walk away and cool off.
I think my experiement in not intervening has proven one point: I still need to intervene. Not as quickly, not as frequently, but my boys don't seem to know how to resolve an argument beyond some dead end volley of "No I didn't/Yes you did." They aren't able to create solutions or compromise (such as, "Let's look for another red light saber/Anakin figure together").
When talking to Ezra about the "Close the Backseat Window" argument, he said, "I spent the whole day at school inside and I wanted fresh air."
"That makes sense," I said. "You could have used that as part of your argument. You could have compromised to have the window down just a little. Would that have been O.K. for you?" He nodded.
I think I can do a better job of teaching them how to resolve conflict, but it will take some extra work on my part. My next tactic: enforcing a cool-off period, then bringing them together when they are calm and asking them to think of solutions.
I will not always be in the mood to do this. Their arguments will interrupt my work time, my cocktail hour, grocery shopping and dinner preparation. But I will teach these boys to problem solve without me. May The Force be with me.

LONG BEACH - More than 2,000 vote-by-mail and provisional ballots remain uncounted from Tuesday's election, which had an unusually low voter turnout, City Clerk Larry Herrera said.
Vote-by-mail ballots that were dropped off at City Hall Monday or at polling places Tuesday must still be counted after their authenticity is verified. Provisional ballots, those cast by voters at polling places that weren't designated for them, also must be verified and counted.
Herrera said those ballots won't be counted until next week.
How or if that will affect any election outcomes is unclear, but the ballots are likely spread out all across the city. In most races, the incumbents won by a significant margin.
Only in a couple of extreme cases, such as if half of the remaining ballots were concentrated in the hotly contested 7th or 9th City Council districts and went mostly to one candidate, might the election results change.
Voter turnout in Tuesday's election was the lowest that Long Beach has seen in an April primary nominating election since at least 1994, which is the most recent election results available from the city clerk.
Out of 238,294 registered voters in Long Beach, which has about 463,000 residents, 34,976 ballots were counted Tuesday. That put the voter turnout at 14.7 percent.
However, if the 2,000 uncounted ballots are added to that, the turnout will rise to 15.5 percent. Herrera said he had hoped for a 20 percent turnout.
Voter turnout was 22.2 percent in April 2006; 17.5 percent in April 2002; 19.3 percent in April 1998; and 20.6 percent in April 1994.
With two incumbent write-in candidates, plus a third lesser known write-in candidate, ballot tallying was slow Tuesday night, but Herrera said the count was accurate and had few problems.
Herrera added that the slow pace at which results were posted was also due to his decision to check by hand every over-vote, such as when someone votes for more than one candidate in a race, and every under-vote, such as when a voter doesn't choose any candidate in a race or writes in the name of an unqualified candidate.
"In order to achieve the accuracy we want in Long Beach, we take our time," Herrera said.
He noted that because of the much-publicized write-in campaigns of 7th District Councilwoman Tonia Reyes Uranga, who advanced to a June 8 runoff with James Johnson, and 9th District Councilman Val Lerch, who lost to Steve Neal, many voters got a little write-in crazy.
"There were more write-ins across the board than ever before," Herrera said.
In some cases, voters wrote in the name of every candidate that they supported in each race in addition to filling in the box next to the names of those that were on the ballot, Herrera said.
He said that if the voter's intent was clear - such as a box filled for Mayor Bob Foster and then the mayor's name written in as well in the write-in space - then the vote counted.
Overall, most voters seemed to know what they were doing, even correctly writing in the full names of the write-in candidates, Herrera said.
"By and large they did a pretty good job of writing in the candidate names," Herrera said.

REDLANDS - Residents on Saturday called on the city to keep the Community Center open longer, with hopes of providing more sports and arts options after school.
The call for longer hours came at the city's Human Relations Commission retreat, where a group of 20 residents and the commission discussed what was needed for harmony among populations in Redlands.
The group was shocked to learn that access to the sports venue at the Community Center is not what they thought it was.
The center closes at 7 p.m. and is closed on Saturdays. After school the room is reserved for private groups. That's a problem, everyone agreed.
"My son was shot at 7 p.m. by another 16-year-old," said Gail Howard, mother of Jordan Howard, one of three survivors in a Jan. 5, 2011, double homicide that claimed the lives of Andrew Jackson, 16, and Quinn McCaleb, 17.
Both were shot at Cinnamon Creek apartments.
"If the center had been open until 9o'clock, Andrew Jackson would have been here playing basketball," Mark Jurado Sr. said. "I knew him. My brother coached him. He would have been here."
Mark Jurado Jr. said some children are riding their bicycles to Yucaipa to play basketball in the evening, which means they're riding home late, through the groves.
A plan for supporting youth programs is needed, Judith Ashton said.
"I would need a lot of you to come to the City Council meeting and be very strong," said Redlands Councilman Bob Gardner. "Request an estimate of what it would cost and put it on the agenda. That's what's needed to push this forward."
The benefits of creating places for Redlands youth riled enthusiasm in the group. Those benefits included the arts, suggested by Ande Spencer.
"There's also some opportunity to create some jobs here," Gardner said.
The commission voted to take the issue to the City Council Feb. 19.
The public was invited to participate in the discussion about what was needed for harmony in Redlands, which is the charge of the commission. So the discussion turned to other issues.
The Christmas Block Party was heralded, but organizers said there were some glitches.
"We have to do something different next year," Howard said. "We gave away 25 bicycles and only one person from Redlands got one."
The rest were from San Bernardino, where they have their own block party, she said. Next year, in order to participate in the bike giveaway, proof of residency should be required, she suggested.
"One from Redlands, that broke my heart. Let's take care of our own first," Howard said.
Joe Gonzalez brought up an issue that bullied children needed to know where to turn. Bob Reid said bullying needed to be addressed at the middle school level.
"(The needs of children and teens) seem to be the focus of the meeting today. Youth services needs to be one of our goals for 2013," Ashton said.
University of Redlands President Emeritus James Appleton gave a presentation about an upcoming Community Leadership Program.
He discussed the need for new leadership, specifically for more diversity and representation of North Redlands.
"We're going to talk about opportunities in leadership and how to change Redlands for the better," said Gardner, who will be one of the instructors of the seven-week course.
Other instructors will be Eldon Baber, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse and an expert in not-for-profit organization development; Renee Van Vechten, chairwoman of the UofR Department of Government; Keith Osajima, director of race and ethnic studies at the UofR; Redlands Police Chief Mark Garcia; Redlands Mayor Pete Aguilar; and Grant Doster, conflict management instructor.
The sessions will be leadership, community projects, building communities, diversity and inclusion, leadership ethics, local government and opportunities for leadership, and conflict management.
"(Appleton) feels strongly about the need for practical leadership skills and he's good at it," Gardner said.
The cost of the course is $95, and scholarships are available.
Classes will run March 21 to May 2 from 6-9 p.m at the U of R. Attendees are eligible for 2.1 continuing education units.

IRVINE, CA – WATG and IDEO were announced as the winners of the first-ever Sustainable Suite Design Competition—an event that challenges designers to showcase the best hospitality design strategies that boast environmental responsibility while enhancing the guest experience. The team will build and showcase a full-scale mock-up of their winning suite design at the 2010 Hospitality Design Expo & Conference in Las Vegas, May 19-21.
The winning suite—Haptik, a Greek term meaning to experience interactions based on sense of touch—created a juxtaposition between sustainability and luxury by redefining the guest experience without sacrificing either ideal. The nuanced subtleties of the design were choreographed around individual moments that engage the senses, allowing the guest to discover how environmental responsibility can be achieved personally and collectively.
Among the innovative winning strategies were the many energy-reducing features, such as an "all-off " switch to ensure lights are automatically turned-off based on passive infrared sensors (PIS) and room conditioning equipped by a four-pipe horizontal fan-coil system. Additionally, water use was also key in reducing environmental impact, as the Haptik suite includes a Trombe wall in the shower that captures solar heat to warm the shower water and a graywater irrigation system that filters and recycles shower water to outdoor gardens and landscaping.
Because the hospitality industry is a large consumer of energy and water use, this competition aimed to motivate sustainable practices industry-wide among newly built and existing hotels. The U.S. Green Building Council, in conjunction with the American Society of Interior Designers and NEWH, sponsored the competition.
Submissions from 65 professional designers and aspiring young professionals were received, each one redefining how a high-performance, energy-and-resource-efficient hotel suite should look and function. Design submissions were judged on three overarching categories: Design Elements (water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials, and resources and indoor environmental quality); Education (guest room attributes and guest practices); and Overall Design (integrated design approach, originality and innovation, general aesthetic, and financial feasibility).
WATG has a legacy of environmentally sensitive planning, architecture and design. A hallmark of WATG is its awareness to the influences of the local culture, the natural resources, the people and the spirit of the place. From its offices in Irvine, Seattle, Honolulu, Orlando, Singapore and London, WATG has designed hotels and resorts in 160 countries and territories across six continents.

A man charged with animal cruelty for abandoning his dog on a Colorado mountain last month has agreed to give up ownership of the canine to one of her rescuers while pleading guilty to a lesser charge.
"I don't want to give her up — I love her — but those people risked life and limb to get her out of there, and that has got to be worth something," Anthony Ortolani, the dog's owner, told KMGH-TV in Denver.
Missy, a 5-year-old German shepherd/Rottweiler mix, was close to death after spending eight days alone on the mountain after Ortolani, 31, and his climbing companion left the dog behind on Aug. 3. Inclement weather was on the horizon and the dog was unable to walk because of blisters on her feet. Ortolani and the 19-year-old son of a friend tried to carry the 112-pound dog for two hours before deciding to leave her on the mountain to make it to safety.
Ortolani was charged with animal cruelty but will plead guilty to a lesser local ordinance, his attorney, Jennifer Edwards, told The Denver Post. Giving up Missy was discussed as part of the plea deal, but was not the reason for Ortolani's decision, his attorney said. The exact rescuer who will assume ownership of the dog was not made public.
"He loved that dog, and this is an incredibly hard decision for him," Edwards told the Los Angeles Times. "But he realizes that for her safety and for the safety of his family, it's better to give her up."
Ortolani said Sunday that he received death threats after the story became public following Missy's rescue by a team of volunteers on Mount Bierstadt, a 14,000-foot mountain in Clear Creek County, Colo. Ortolani paid nearly $5,000 in veterinary bills related to the injuries suffered by Missy, who had climbed more than a dozen peaks in Colorado with him before the incident, according to Edwards.
"He's gotten letters and calls that he's cruel and has no right to the animal," Edwards told the Los Angeles Times. "People have said if he ever gets the dog back, his family will never be safe."
"Carrying her down unfortunately caused her more injury," Ortolani told KMGH-TV. "She fought with me and squirmed off my shoulders, and I dropped her on some rocks and she got hurt worse. Everybody says, 'Why didn't you go back?' My physical condition was significantly deteriorated, my emotional condition was no good. I thought she was dead.
"I've always wanted nothing but the best for her, and that's why I take her everywhere with me.''
The dog was severely dehydrated and had to be treated with antibiotics for infections from lacerations on its paws and elsewhere. A couple of hikers discovered the dog on Aug. 11 but could not carry the dog down, so they bandaged her bloody paws and left her with water before a team of volunteers was assembled to rescue her. The rescuers transported Missy to safety in an oversized backpack in a mission that took a full day and was documented in a series of photos on 14ers, an online hiking forum.
"I am not proud of leaving Missy,'' Ortolano wrote on the forum after he was identified as the dog's owner. "I did what I thought was right at the time to protect myself and the teenager that I was with. People say that I should have stayed there and sent my friends [sic] son to get help. I was responsible for him, and I was not leaving him there alone with clouds growing over Bierstadt, and I was not going to send him off alone with absolutely no cell service."
Ortolani contacted the Sheriff's Office in the days after leaving the dog on the mountain but was informed that they did not have the manpower or equipment needed to find and rescue Missy.

Arin Gilliland Named NSCAA All-American
Dec. 6, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After setting numerous school records, recording two hat tricks, and multiple postseason honors, junior University of Kentucky women's soccer player Arin Gilliland was named a National Soccer Coaches Association of America third team All-American, it was announced on Friday.
Gilliland collected 34 points, scored a career-high 12 goals, assisted on 10 goals, just one shy of the program record, set a new school record in shots with 100, scored three game-winning goals and was named first team All-Southeastern Conference
Named a team captain in the spring of 2012, the Lexington, Ky., native took the season by storm, serving as one of Kentucky's three team leaders in the fall of 2013. Gilliland played over 1,800 minutes on the pitch for the Wildcats, rewriting the record books in a number of categories.
In August, she was named to the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Award (the award given to the best player in collegiate soccer) watch list, after a summer which saw Gilliland called into U.S. Women's National Team camp two times, as well as spending a month training with the National Women's Soccer League champion Portland Thorns alongside international stars Alex Morgan and Christine Sinclair.
Gilliland scored 12 goals in 2013, marking the most by a single player since Kim LaBelle in 1995. The 12 goals in a single season tied for the fourth most in a season on the UK record books. Her 10 assists tied former greats Kelsey Hunyadi (2011) and Elizabeth Ramsey (2000) for third-most all-time. She currently sits as one of 11 players in the country this season with 10-plus goals and 10-plus assists.
Gilliland had hat tricks on two different occasions during the SEC season, as she did it twice in a three-game stretch, becoming the second player in UK annals to record a hat trick two times in the same season. Gilliland scored three times in Kentucky's 4-1 win over Tennessee, while also clinching her second-career hat trick with three goals in the first half against Alabama.
With her 12 goals in 2013, Gilliland became the active leading goal scorer at Kentucky, with 23 in her three-year career in the Blue and White. The 23 goals puts her just five goals out of the top five in program history, with another season to be completed in her career.
Throughout her season, Gilliland racked up numerous on and off-the-field honors, including SEC Offensive Player of the Week on two occasions (9/17, 10/14), CollegeSoccer360.com's National Primetime Performer of the Week (9/17), first team All-SEC, NSCAA first team All-South Region and now an All-American.
Gilliland had a handful of outstanding performances during the season, including scoring two goals in Kentucky's best win of the season, a 4-2 win over No. 10 West Virginia on the road in Morgantown, W. Va. She also scored the game-winning goal in the NCAA Tournament against Ohio State, leading the Wildcats past the Buckeyes and into the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year.
In her dynamic career at Kentucky, she has played almost every position on the field, seeing over 5,000 minutes on the field in just three years. She has played in 63 matches, starting in 59 of them, with 200 career shots, 74 shots on goal, eight game-winning goals, 23 goals, 17 assists and 75 points, which currently ranks fifth all-time at Kentucky.
The NSCAA All-America selection comes as the third all-time in Kentucky program history. Gilliland joins Allison Peppers (1999) and Anne Ogundele (2006) as the only recipients in Kentucky history.

Interfolio: The New Confidential Credential File Service
The University of Great Falls Career Services is phasing out its placement file service for educators. With the changing times, more and more school districts are accepting (and many prefer) electronic delivery of confidential files. After considerable research on a variety of options, we have decided that the most cost-effective method for our graduates is to partner with a company that specializes in managing confidential files called Interfolio.
You will find that Interfolio's pricing is competitive with our pricing. Also, their system is very user-friendly and easy to navigate and organize reference letters and other components of credential files. Please peruse the Interfolio website by clicking on the Interfolio logo image above, then see "interfolio credentialing service" on the left menu bar. We anticipate a smooth transition to this new service. If you have any questions, please contact Twila Croft, Director of Career Services and Transfer & Commuter Integration, at email@example.com or email@example.com
As always, we wish you the best in your teaching career.
What About Existing Credential (Placement) Files?
For existing files, we will honor all of the requests for which files have been paid. At the point when graduates have reached the limit of the paid files, our graduates have the choice to create their own non-confidential file, or we will be happy to send the contents of the file we hold to Interfolio with your express permission. Consistent with our new policy, files in our possession that are inactive for a period of 10 years are destroyed.
Please continue to use email@example.com or email@example.com when requesting placement files to be sent to school districts to which you apply. Make sure to provide all necessary address information for us to mail the files to their intended destinations, as well as your contact information.
It is your responsibility to notify us if you want us to send your existing file to Interfolio.

Suit: Doctors mocked me while I was unconscious
(NEWSER) – So what do doctors chat about after you've gone under anesthestic? You may not want to know, according to a lawsuit picked up by Courthouse News Service. A colonoscopy patient in Virginia says he used his cellphone to record instructions given to him prior to surgery, and accidentally left it recording during the procedure. He says doctors mocked him relentlessly. A sampling:
- Dr. Tiffany Ingham is heard saying to the unconscious patient: "And really, after five minutes of talking to you in pre-op I wanted to punch you in the face and man you up a little bit."
- Ingham also called him a "big wimp" and a "retard," joked about firing a gun up his rectum, and threatened to falsely note on his chart that he had hemorrhoids.

Jassie - from Houston, TX
Cake flour is the most highly refined flour is milled from soft wheat. It is used where a delicate and tender texture is desired. Most grocery stores sell cake flour, but unlike all-purpose flour, which is usually sold in bags, it is sold in 2 pound boxes. If you don't have cake flour available, remove 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour from each cup, then stir in 2 tablespoons cornstarch.

Another day and another actor who says he is retiring from acting. When is the last time you actually saw an actor retire from acting who had any success at it? Clint Eastwood? Maybe in the past couple of years but he still loved to get in front of the camera. You miss it. You crave it. Chris Evans says he wants to be a director and retire from acting. He does say that he will continue to act in Marvel movies and will act in movies he is also directing but nothing else. Uh huh. Well, that is a pretty big list right there of movies he is willing to act in. So, when he says he is retiring from acting he really doesn't mean it. All actors want to direct. Look at any television show that has been on the air longer than four years and I bet there are actors from the show listed in the credits as a director. The thing is directing is a lot of hard work and you don't get the attention you get like you do when you are in front of the camera.
Chris is just the latest in a line of actors to say they are going to retire. They don't mean it. They think they mean it and think they are moving on because they got a taste of directing. When he has trouble getting a studio to give him a nice fat paycheck for directing some indie and someone comes along with an offer to star in a movie for $10M he will probably say something like the part called to him and it was too good to pass up. I don't understand why everyone has to say they are retiring. I guess it is for the headlines, but it never comes true. All his announcement has done is give some other actor beneath him on a studio wish listget a shot and then Chris is going to wonder how come he went from Captain America to Captain Sawyer in some Lifetime television movie co-starring Tori Spelling in a few years.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA -- After months of protest by parents, Verizon will install a cell tower on the property of Sacred Heart Catholic School.
Dozens of parents left this week's Planning Commission meeting in disappointment and outrage after approval of a permit modification was given to build the cell tower.A number of parents oppose the project because they fear radio waves emitted from the tower could cause health risks to their children.
Church officials, however, say the radiation emitted from the tower would be lower than levels allowed by the government.
"Just like everybody else, I'm deeply saddened and very disappointed," said Kiera Hoyle, a parent at Sacred Heart Catholic Church and a school board member.
"I was hopeful, in giving my speech, saying that I hope whatever decision is made, it's made in the best interest of our children, and I don't feel that decision was made. "
Commissioner Lou Munoz, who works for the telecommunications company AT&T, recused himself from the vote.
The other four commissioners voted to approve the conditional use permit modification, which will allow Verizon to build a 50-foot cell tower in the northern part of the property.
Some parents, such as Yesenia Olague, said they are now going to remove their children from the school.
"It's very disappointing, and I'm very heartbroken," Olague said. "It hurt more than I thought it would ... we're just going to look for other schools. "
John Andrews, spokesman for the San Bernardino Diocese, said it's difficult to predict what the impact the decision will have on school enrollment next year, but school officials are anticipating some students will leave.
"We certainly wouldn't want them to remove their children from the school and experience they're having, however, that is their right to do that and that is a way they can impact the situation. "
City Hall seats on Wednesday were filled with dozens of parents who were opposed to the cell tower, but there were supporters of the project.
Project opponents hired City of Industry-based attorney Scott Nichols to represent them at the meeting. Nichols argued that the tower would be aesthetically incompatible with the surrounding area, and cited case law in which agencies are able to deny such a project on the grounds that there is already sufficient cell coverage in the area.
A city report indicated the tower, a "stealth" model in the shape and color of a tall tree, would be able to blend in with the surrounding aesthetics.
Rancho Cucamonga Planner Tabe Van Der Zwaag said the city development code does not require proof of a significant coverage gap.
The conditional use permit modification moves the tower from a previously approved location next to a meeting hall and school playground to an area in the parish's northern parking lot.
If the new location had been denied by the commission, the church would have then proceeded to build the project at the meeting hall location.

(NEWSER) – As Amanda Knox's new book hits the shelves, she's speaking to the media about the saga that saw her convicted of roommate Meredith Kercher's murder in Italy. Amid media scrutiny in the courtroom, "for all intents and purposes, I was a murderer—whether I was or not," she tells Diane Sawyer at ABC News.

- Undergraduate Programs
Major & Minor
The emphasis is on the following three subfields of anthropology:
- Cultural / Social Anthropology: study of human cultures in the present or recent past
- Physical / Biological Anthropology: study of humans from a biological and evolutionary perspective
- Archaeology: study of the ancient and recent human past through material remains
An anthropological perspective -- including an examination of the similarities and differences between human groups, cultures and societies both locally and worldwide -- emphasizes the concepts of cultural relativism, multi-cultural perspectives, and globalization processes that are vital to many areas of study at Saint Louis University.
By participating in anthropology courses in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology, students will be further prepared to successfully function in an interconnected world. The major and minor degrees in Anthropology are designed to complement any major at the University.

mobilEcho 3.5: More Customer Driven Features Focused on Security
Last week we introduced mobilEcho 3.5, the latest version of our Mobile File Management solution. In this version we introduced a number of new features including:
• Two-way syncing of files;
• HTTPS Reverse Proxy password and certificate authentication;
• Streamlined device enrollment process;
• Integration with Quickoffice's "Save Back" feature; and
• Whitelisting or blacklisting of third party apps allowed to "Open In."
One of the things we continue to hear from our customers loud and clear is the need for security. Many of the features that we have introduced with 3.5 have their origins in requests from customers that were security-related. HTTPS Reverse Proxy password and certificate authentication enables requiring two-factor authentication which is a frequent request, especially from financial services companies. Integration with Quickoffice and their "Save Back" feature allows a user to access a document in mobilEcho, use "Open In" to open the doc in Quickoffice, edit it, and then save it back to mobilEcho. This also sets the stage for some other cool things we will be able to do in the future. The whitelisting and blacklisting was yet another request by customers, many in regulated industries. The IT and Security departments want the ability to limit the apps that can be used to open a file from mobilEcho. Again, the demand from the enterprise is to ensure that mobile users are not employing non-sanctioned tools so that they can limit their security and compliance exposure.
This is not to minimize the introduction of two-way syncing or the improved enrollment process. For example, the one-way syncing feature we've had since last year has been extremely well received by our customers. One hailed as the feature that made mobilEcho a true "business platform." With the introduction of two-way syncing the ability to collaborate on files is even greater with mobilEcho.
As I have noted in past posts, this is a continuing theme for mobilEcho and it will continue to be a theme for a long time. We have many more exciting features we will be rolling out in the next few months so stay tuned…

Treatment of a broken arm will vary, depending on the type of break. The time needed for healing depends on a variety of factors, including severity of the injury; other conditions, such as diabetes; your age; nutrition; tobacco use and excessive use of alcohol.
Fractures are classified into one or more of the following categories:
If you have a displaced fracture, your doctor may need to manipulate the pieces back into their proper positions — a process called reduction. Depending on the amount of pain and swelling you have, you may need a muscle relaxant, a sedative or even a general anesthetic before this procedure.
Restricting movement of a broken bone is critical to healing. To do this, you may need to wear a splint, sling, brace or cast. If your broken arm requires a cast, your doctor will likely wait until the swelling goes down, usually five to seven days after injury. In the meantime, you'll likely wear a splint.
Your doctor may ask you to return for more X-rays during the healing process to make sure the bones haven't shifted.
To reduce pain and inflammation, your doctor may recommend an over-the-counter pain reliever. If you're experiencing severe pain, you may need to take a prescription medication that contains a narcotic for a few days.
Rehabilitation begins soon after initial treatment. In most cases, it's important, if possible, to begin some motion to minimize stiffness in your arm, hand and shoulder while you're wearing your cast or sling. After your cast or sling is removed, your doctor may recommend additional rehabilitation exercises or physical therapy to restore muscle strength, joint motion and flexibility.
Surgery is required to stabilize some fractures. If the fracture didn't break the skin, your doctor may wait to do surgery until the swelling has gone down. Keeping your arm from moving and elevating it will decrease swelling.
Fixation devices — such as wires, plates, nails or screws — may be needed to maintain proper position of your bones during healing. Complications are rare, but can include infection and lack of bone healing.

Cloud and Virtualization gives you agility and efficiency to instantly roll out new services and expand your infrastructure. But the lack of physical control, or defined entrance and egress points, bring a whole host of cloud security issues – data co-mingling, privileged user abuse, snapshots and backups, data deletion, data leakage, geographic regulatory requirements, cloud super-admins, and many more. Fortunately, experts agree that encryption is the unifying cloud security control, allowing you protect, control and comply.
SafeNet's proven encryption and enterprise key management solutions turn any cloud environment into a trusted and compliant environment by solving the critical challenges of data governance, control, and ownership - no matter where you store your data.
Snapshots and backups are taken daily, or even hourly, and automatically stored in the cloud. Do you know where they've been stored, or who can move and copy them? Can you trace unauthorized copying of data?
Virtualization and cloud computing require cooperation between security, storage, server, application, and cloud security admins – all with access to your most sensitive data. With this number of people, the risks of failing an audit, or an admin going rogue, grow exponentially.
In minutes, a disgruntled employee can load an entire virtual machine onto a thumb drive. Virtual data is easily lost or exposed as it moves between VMs or in the cloud. Can you prove that authorized users are accessing your data within their defined policies? Can you block access to compromised information?
"Given SafeNet's ability to encrypt and secure data on a large scale, they were the ideal choice to secure our customers' digital assets, as they are able to attach security where it matters most – to the data - regardless of whether it resides in a physical, cloud, or virtual environment."

SafeNet has developed a comprehensive set of cloud security solutions so that businesses can enjoy the full benefits of cloud computing while maintaining control in virtual environments. These solutions provide a data-centric approach, and allow for the expansion of the existing cloud computing security. The end result: a seamless and secure cloud deployment.
More and more organizations are optimizing their environments by moving workloads to virtual machines (VMs) and the cloud. But many people hold on to the idea that virtualization isn't a viable option because of the highly sensitive data they need to store and manage. On the contrary, with the right security mechanisms, any organization can migrate high-value data to the cloud or virtual data center.

While the migration of applications to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) enables dramatic savings for the company as well as improved access for users, this means that there is sensitive data in an environment that is not owned or under the control of the company. Without active protection of the applications, the potential risks associated with the loss of control and trust are significant.
How SafeNet Can Help:
ProtectApp: An application encryption solution deployed in combination with SafeNet KeySecure that supports a broad range of the most widely used Web application servers and enterprise applications – including those hosted on virtual machines and in the cloud. Learn More
SaaS Security: Protect access to cloud-based applications via centrally-managed strong authentication. Learn More
SafeNet's cloud-delivered authentication and encryption solutions give organizations the means to improve responsiveness while protecting the sensitive data being accessed and created by users from an increasing amount and variety of endpoints.
Authentication-as-a-Service: Enables organizations to apply strong authentication onto multiple endpoints and address access control vulnerabilities. Learn About SafeNet Authentication Service
Cryptography-as-a-Service: IT departments can now deliver on-demand, elastic crypto services for data protection via cloud environments. Establish a pool of pre-configured hardware security module (HSM) resources, and provide those resources to the teams that need them with SafeNet Crypto Command Center.Learn About Crypto Command Center
The virtualized nature of the cloud removes many of the control points that have traditionally helped protect sensitive information stored in-house. Administrators should have key managent controls in place to ensure that they are the only ones with control of that data's cryptographic keys – especially when that data resides in the cloud.
Luna Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) provide FIPS and Common Criteria-certified storage of cryptographic keys, centralized key and policy management, sophisticated encryption, and a wide range of other control features that form the basis for secure, compliant cloud data operations. Learn More
Organizations using a mix of on-site data centers and cloud storage must ensure high-speed, low-latency, and – above all – secure communication between these environments. With SafeNet high-speed encryptors, companies can secure communications over all cloud-based and internally hosted sites, increase productivity, lower costs, and improve organizational flexibility.
Learn About SafeNet High-Speed Encryption
Learn in detail how encryption is expanding as organizations of all shapes and sizes – and from a wide range of industries – migrate to virtual environments. This webinar covers several key management best practices to complete "the keychain" for organizations considering a move to the cloud.
Long an important security measure, encryption has emerged as a critical component to ensuring compliance in virtualized data centers and cloud environments. However, in order for encryption to be effectively, efficiently, and securely implemented in these emerging environments, there are several fundamental requirements that must be met. This paper provides an overview of these requirements.
For Informa, a business information provider, data is mission-critical. As they were looking to migrate their entire European data center to the cloud, they needed a data encryption solution that would provide the required security and controls to safeguard sensitive information—so they turned to SafeNet.
While many organizations find the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements challenging, most organizations recognize that security and compliance are part of a successful risk management strategy that requires continual enhancements as their IT operations evolve.

Learn music theory, how to read chord progressions and play jazz improvisation for all instruments. I teach kids to adults. I specialize in brass instruments instruction. Contact me, Richard Lopez at email@example.com for more info.
Richard got his start in the Denver Public Schools music program, playing trombone in such groups as the prestigious C.E.C. Honor Jazz Combo and the Colorado All-State Jazz Ensemble. As a teenager he played with jazz contemporaries Greg Gispert, Brad Leali and Javon Jackson and studied jazz under the direction of trombonist Jerry Barnett, jazz educator Dr. Willie Hill (IAJE) and jazz pianist Neil Bridge. Above all the great musical influences that Richard had over his childhood, his father, Lou Lopez (1927 to 1999), who actively played the tenor sax, flute and bass, carried an important role along with tons of encouragement from his mother, Irene Lopez (Denver, CO). After high school, Richard received a music scholarship to study music at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and studied under the teaching of Professor Frank Gagliardi and renowned world trombonist Bobby Scann.
As a student, Richard was fortunate to play with many entertainers and musicians from both Las Vegas and Los Angeles. These entertainers include such artists as Joe Williams, Marlena Shaw, Carl Fontana, Gus Mancuso, Walt Blanton, Bobby Shew, Carl Saunders, Chuck Findley, Sal Marquez, Carson Smith, Scott Tibbs, Louie Belson, Paul Taylor, Cleto Escobedo Jr., Don Menza, Jimmy Cook, Buddy Yeager, Raoul Romero, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Wayne Newton, Rich Little, Del Shannon, Mary Wells, Sam and Dave, Pete Barbutti, Jimmie Walker, Robert Guillaume, Nancy Wilson, Pieces of Dreams and the Solid Gold Dancers. He also performed for the nationally broadcast show Alan Grant\'s Monday Night Jazz at the Las Vegas Four Queens Hotel and was invited to guest perform at the 76 Trombones +4 annual concert in 2002.
During the early-mid eighties, one of his greatest experiences as a young and up-coming musician was going to the Las Vegas Musician\'s Union on weekend nights until the early morning hours and listening and playing with the greatest jazz musicians in the world.
Since moving to the Northwest in 1996, Richard has continued to perform with such great national and local artists such as Bob Newhart, the O\'Jays, William Kennedy (Yellowjackets), Pete Christlieb, Larry Harlow, Julian Priester, Bert Wilson, Joe Baque, Bob Nixon, Frank Minear, Gary Scott, Eric Ordway, The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, Ramsey/Kleeb Band, Jay Thomas Usual Suspects Big Band, the Pierce College Jazz Ensemble, Obrador, the Solomon Douglas Swing Dance Big Band, Cambalache and the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra.
Richard currently performs with Momenti Rubati, Native Blue, conducts the Bob Nixon Tribute Big Band and the Fellowjackets.
He is a graduate of The Evergreen State College and holds a masters degree from Northwest Nazarene University. Richard now lives in Olympia with his wife and five kids.

Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
The good Joe Flacco better show up on Sunday if he wants a new contract, he's on
shaky ground right now.

Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Casserly also said Birk is retiring this year. I call BS on Casserly. Flacco will be the QB for the Ravens until Flacco decides to go.Postseason for first four years and owner plus Baltimore making money, no way Steve B insults Flacco.
Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to waitIn a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Unfortunately for Flacco he still has another year left on his rookie contract affording the Ravens the oppportunity to address other areas in need of immediate attention.(Rice, maybe Grubbs)
If Flacco had come out and set the league on fire then maybe his contract would be getting addressed this year.
Flacco is being treated no different then any other player we've drafted and considered valuable enough that they want to retain them.
This is the way the front office conducts itself and chooses to do business.
This front office has spent virtually its entire existence trying to replace Vinny Testeverde with a player of some type of quality at that position.
After them watching Flacco be the player at that position taking them to the playoffs four straight years I highly doubt there is any ground shaking under Flacco.
He's just gonna have to wait his turn in line.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
This phrase is so laughable and off base it invalidates the entire article, at least the part he wrote...
So does Flacco deserve an extension? And if so, how much? The Cardinals and Chiefs overpaid Kevin Kolb and Matt Cassel ($63 million, $20 guaranteed; and $63 million, $28 million guaranteed, respectively). That's probably Flacco's ballpark, although that seems like a lot of money to tie up in a guy who completed just 57 percent of his passes in 2011. And his 20 touchdowns and 80.9 passer rating were his lowest totals since his rookie season.
But again, it just shows how clueless the national media is and how they perceive Flacco's value. It is just mind blowing.

Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Irrespective of what happens Sunday in the Patriots game, Joe will have his big money, long term contract in hand BEFORE he takes the first snap of the 2012 season. The Ravens are not going to do anything to jeopardize the relationship they have with Joe - the ONLY quarterback in NFL history to win 49 games in his first four years - a winning percentage of over 67% (PS - a better winning percentage EVEN if he loses Sunday's game than John Unitas achieved in EITHER his first four years - or over the entire length of his 17 year career - including championship and playoff games).
This kid is a winner and will be even better when Cam goes.
Either this guy (Casserly) is reading Preston or vice versa - either way they're both idiots.

Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Joe better get it together on Sunday.
Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Joe's gonna have to pay out his contract. We cant play him and Ray Rice.
He will be resigned, just not after this season. That said, if he wins a Super bowl, it will put extra pressure on the Ravens to make an offer.Lardarius "The predator" Webb
Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
How would signing him this off-season be different than waiting a year. Either way we have to get Grubbs, Rice and Flacco done. If any of those 3 walk it will be Grubbs, Gs are just easier to replace than QBs.
And SugarRay, there is no chance Flacco goes anywhere regardless of what happens Sunday.
Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
I doubt they let him play out his contract. If they did and couldn't re-sign him in time, they'd have to franchise him and the franchise number for a QB is prohibitive.Talk's cheap - lets go play. - #19, Johnny Unitas

Re: Ravens want Rice, Flacco might have to wait
Anyone thinking they won't sign him before the 2012 season starts is crazy. There is no way they let Flacco get to his final year, and possibly have to franchise him. If anyone is franchised, it'll be Grubbs or Rice.

A Field Guide to Marissa Walsh
Habitat: New York City
High School Habitat: Lynn, Massachusetts
Carpool: I was in a carpool driven by parents for three years–my freshman year there were six of us, plus the driver!–and I was often the annoying late one in the morning. Not fun. Then senior year I drove two other girls in one of the girl's mother's extra car. (I didn't have my own car.) It was great.
Clubs: I played soccer, basketball, and softball, was involved with the lit mag, edited the yearbook, and was a member of the Lynn Young Democrats.
Favorite American Idol: Kelly Clarkson
Favorite High School Band: I loved U2 when I was in high school. My first real concert was a U2 concert at Boston Garden at the beginning of 10th grade.
Favorite Book About High School: The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
Favorite Book I Read in High School: Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton. Beloved by Toni Morrison. Raymond Carver's short stories.
Favorite High School Celebrity: Bono. Molly Ringwald. Tom Cruise. Bruce Willis. (I know!)
Favorite High School Class: Senior English
Favorite High School Clothing Brand: We weren't allowed to wear jeans or sneakers to school. At the beginning of high school, I was really into Esprit and The Limited, which was very 80s. I had a hippie phase, with long, flowing skirts and those black Chinese Mary Jane slippers, which I wore in the winter without socks. Senior year I did a weird mix of vintage, hippie, and artsy. I wore an ill-conceived Betsey Johnson three-piece outfit to the prom with my hair in lots of little braids.
Favorite High School Movie: Pretty in Pink
Favorite High School Musical Character: Ryan!
Favorite High School Restaurant: Chi Chi's and Pizzeria Uno
Favorite High School Song: "Sunday Bloody Sunday," U2
Favorite High School Student: Hermione Granger
Favorite High School Teacher: Mr. Sneeden, my English and creative writing teacher, and Mr. E, my art teacher
Favorite TV Show About High School: In elementary school, I loved Fame, and wanted to move to New York so I could go to the High School for the Performing Arts. My parents wouldn't let me, obviously. My high school ended up being nothing like that.
French or Spanish? Spanish, but I bombed the Spanish AP. And Latin! My parents made me take two years of Latin. There were only three kids in the class.
High School Group: My high school was so small that there were really only two groups: Popular and Not. All the kids who weren't popular sort of banded together, even though we didn't really have that much in common, other than the fact that we weren't popular.
Job: I had two summer jobs. I worked at the Lynn Public Library as a page. And then the summer before 11th grade, I worked at a local beach, collecting money at the parking lot and cleaning the beach and the restrooms.

VILLANOVA, Pa. – In the final nonconference game of the season, the University of Pennsylvania softball team fell to Villanova, 4-0, in the cold and rain. Freshman Courtney Cuzick, freshman Alexis Sargent, and sophomore Lauren Li all saw time in the circle for the Red and Blue. The Wildcats were the last team for the Quakers before this weekend's Ivy Championship series with Dartmouth.WP: Kate Poppe (13-23), 6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 11 K
LP: Courtney Cuzick (0-5), 2.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K
Villanova opened the game with two unearned runs in the bottom of the first, after the Quakers committed two errors. The Wildcats then tacked on a third run in the bottom of the second from a base hit that dropped in shallow right field.
Penn threatened to score in the top of the third when tri-captain Sydney Turchin led off with a base hit up the middle. Sophomore Kanani Datan followed Turchin's hit with a second single that dropped just fair inside the left line. After senior tri-captain Elysse Gorney walked to load the bases, the Quakers could not bring any home, recording three-straight outs.
In the bottom of the fifth, Wildcat Shea Palmer knocked in Villanova's fourth run with a ground out RBI to freshman second baseman Emily Stinnett.
The Red and Blue once again threatened to score in the top of the sixth with three on the bags. Freshman Alexis Sargent singled through the left side and the next Quaker to reach base was sophomore Lauren Li, who was hit in the ankle by a pitch. With one out, freshman Cedar Slovacek placed the ball perfectly in shallow right field for a base hit to load up the bases. But once again, Penn was unable to bring any home and left all three stranded.
Even though the regular season is now over, the Red and Blue will now focus their time on preparing for the Ivy League Championship series this weekend. A rematch of last year's series with Dartmouth will take place in Hanover on Saturday. A third game will be played on Sunday, if necessary. Stay tuned to PennAthletic.com for more details.
