NORWALK - With only vote-by- mail ballots counted, 10 candidates were still battling late Tuesday for five open seats on the seven-member Cerritos College Board of Trustees.
This election was a historic change from previous ones. In December, the Norwalk-based Cerritos College replaced its at-large voting system with seven trustee areas.
The change followed a lawsuit that claimed the former at-large voting system for electing board trustees discriminated against Latino voters. The district settled the suit out of court.
In Trustee Area 1, which represents portions of Downey, Norwalk and Bell Gardens, incumbent Bob Arthur was leading Leonard Zuniga, a business owner, with 69.87 percent of the vote. Arthur is a former Norwalk mayor and councilman who was first elected to the college board in 1995 and re-elected in 2007.
In Trustee Area 2, which represents portions of Downey, Bellflower and South Gate, Carmen Avalos, a teacher and city clerk for the city of South Gate led former Cerritos College faculty member Tom Jackson, with 51.3 percent of the vote. Jackson is a retired Cerritos College faculty member. He was first elected to the board in 2003 and was re-elected in 2007.
In Trustee Area 3, which represents portions of Cerritos, Bellflower, Downey and South Gate, incumbent Jean McHatton trailed with 37.92 percent of the vote, compared to Bellflower educator John Paul Drayer's 62.08 percent. McHatton was first elected to the board June 8, 2011.
In Trustee Area 4, which represents portions of Long Beach, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, Cerritos and Bellflower, incumbent Ted Edmiston led public policy adviser Marisa Perez with 60.38 percent of the vote.
Edmiston was first elected to the board in 1991 and was re-elected in 2007.
In Trustee Area 6, which represents portions of Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs and Cerritos, incumbent Tina Cho, a psychiatrist and mental health advocate who was first elected to the college board in 2007, was leading over Sandra Salazar, a community clinic doctor, with 827 votes.
Cho was first elected to the board in 2007.
The college was founded in 1955 and named after the Rancho Los Cerritos.

My husband and I had to leave the apartment after 2 nights. It was not "amazing" as the description says and this is for several reasons:
First of all, it is way to small and stuffy. But this would not be a problem if we could at least open a window. It was like 40 degrees there and absolutely no air.
Now the actual reason, why we could not open the window: these are the neighbors one floor down. We don't know, what was going on there, but it strongly smelled like human urin. Once you open the window, the smell just hits you right into your face and it smells like this in the whole apartment within 5 minutes. Just impossible...so we had to keep the window closed.
We wrote about this problem to Salvatore (whom we also did not get to know personally, just his cousin) on the very first evening and he promised us to find another flat for me and my husband. However, he contacted us on this regard first one day later in the evening (with no solution) and we had to stay there for another night. In the morning we have checked out and had to book another hotel in a rush.
We have to admit, that having such a neighbors is not Salvatore's fault, but there must be done something about it. And the guest have to be informed about this problem!
This situation has destroyed two days of our vacation in Nice and provided us a lot of stress, bad mood and costed us money, because it was very expensive to book another hotel in such a rush.
Salvatore has transferred us money back and we appreciate it, but still first after a couple of reminders...
We are sorry Salvatore, but for these reasons we can not give you a good feedback.

Nice is a great city!!
The apartment was a fine place to stay; after 5 minutes walk you are at the beach, to the old town is a bit further to walk, but you can walk there and the supermarket is around the corner.
There are many buses in the city and also to and from the airport and the train station.
Salvatore is very helpful and kind person and he helped me with a few questions I had.
In the apartment was everything there that I needed during my stay and there was even a city map. Very useful!
Blev väldigt nöjd med boendet i Nice. Bodde med wimdu i Paris och Toulouse före detta och Salvatore hamnar högst upp. Vi blev välkomnade av hans kusin Fred och han hämtade även upp oss och körde oss till flygplatsen för 30€, otroligt trevligt kille!
Lägenheten ligger bra till och det är lätt att ta sig dit man vill. Vi bodde tre stycken där och hade väl inte valt att bo en till i lägenheten, men då hade vi väldigt mycket packning som tog plats och bott med varandra i 10 dagar.
Bra betyg får Fred och lägenheten!
Al llegar a la puerta parece que te vas a encontrar otra cosa, pero cuando abres, ves un piso luminoso, muy bien decorado, limpísimo, en general, mejor de lo esperado, a unos 20 minutos del aeropuerto en bus, a unos 15 min del centro andando y cerca de los autobuses, el paseo marítimo está a 2 o 3 minutos andando.
Todo perfecto, de 10
I was only 1 houer in the "amazing sunny Appartment" and i leave the Appartment. I was disappointed about the Appartment. It was not sunny sorry to say that. On the pics looks good but not in real.
Everything went well. Nice, small, and tidy apartment in the center of Nice.
Get our keys at the agency office.
Grazie a Salvatore e al suo staff mi sono trovato nel piccolo appartamento nel cuore di Nizza a pochi passi dal mare e dal centro città. Esperienza da consigliare per chi non ha grosse pretese ma vuole godersi il " tutto a portata di mano"...
Unico consiglio: non andateci in macchina perché è difficile trovare parcheggio
Per il resto tutto rispettato come da accordi. Grazie Salvatore
Schönes kleines Appartment.
Leider kommt in Nizza nachts die Müllabfuhr und anschließend die Straßenreinigung so gegen 4 Uhr nachts. Somit ist schlafen bei offenem Fenster ausgeschlossen.
Dennoch würde ich es empfehlen.
Logement grand et calme, donnant sur une cour intérieure. Refait à neuf tout récemment, parquet chaleureux.
Très proche du centre commerçant de Nice.
Particulièrement appréciable en été, car l'appartement est à l'abri du soleil et de la chaleur.
Dommage que les clés se prennent sur la promenade, assez loin de l'appartement.

CELEBRITY chef Keith Floyd, who grew up in Wiveliscombe, now has a permanent memorial in the town.
A bas relief plaque of the raconteur, renowned for his groundbreaking approach to TV cookery, has been put on a wall at the top of Silver Street, where he lived as a child.
It is the work of Wiveliscombe sculptor John Alder, who spent years fundraising through the Keith Floyd Memorial Project following his death in 2009.
John said: "The idea originally was to put up a bronze, life-size statue but we couldn't get the funding so went with the plaque.
"I thought it would be a way of celebrating Keith's achievements because he is a man who made a difference.
"Whether you like him or not what he did for English cooking was quite remarkable."
Keith grew up in the town and attended Wellington School, before the start of a flamboyant playboy lifestyle.
His days in Wiveliscombe are ones he looked back on fondly, saying in 2005 his time there played an 'important part' in his life.
In a chequered career, he was an army officer, a journalist, a dishwasher, a bartender, a cook, a restaurateur, with restaurants in France, Spain, Britain and Thailand.
He wrote dozens of books and presented a number television series, which were screened around the world as he shot to fame.
After dying from a heart attack in 2009, aged 65, the culinary world paid tribute to the eccentric restaurateur.
Marco Pierre White said: "He was a great supporter of the culinary industry, inspiring many - myself included - to pursue cooking."
A steering group, headed by John, was set up to guide the project in memory of one of the town's greatest sons.
Funding for the sculpture was raised by donations, a proportion of which came from some of the celebrity chefs who admired Keith's legacy.

Depression during Pregnancy
Hi! I would like know. I am a single mum and I have been single parent since I was 4 month pregnant to my son. Since the daddy of my kid left, I was depress and lonely. Never thought that I will be a single mum. I have been working my butt alone with the pregnancy and so on. My question, is my depression that makes my son autistic? Or Is it because there is something that I ate? I know this is funny but, ever since this is a big question mark for me.
Hope you guys can enlighten me and thank you for this forum I was able to write and express myself.
3rd November 2013 06:55 AM #2
Dear Loann,
Firstly, I wanted to say that there is no single known cause of autism. Please do not make yourself feel guilty about what you did/ did not do during pregnancy. There are no known specific foods that, when eaten in pregnancy, cause an increased risk of autism. Autism is more likely in babies whose mothers who were significantly overweight and had raised blood pressure. However, a direct link between the mothers' weight and blood pressure and the autism has not been found.
There was one study this year which looked at the link between maternal depression in pregnancy and the likelihood of a child having autism. The initial results did seem to show a higher risk of autism with mums who suffer from depression, however, this again is not currently believed to be a direct link but possibly caused by anti-depressants.
Autism Spectrum Australia say this about what causes autism:
'Autism has no single, known cause. Given the complexity of the disease, and the fact that symptoms and severity vary, there are probably many causes. Both genetics and environment may play a role. There is no evidence that autism is caused by a child's upbringing or social circumstances.'
At the moment, no-one really knows what causes autism. There does seem to be several genes involved in autism.
Is this something that you think about a lot? Do you feel able to move on from this question without ever really knowing what caused your son's autism?
Thinking of you,

Wow, thank you so much, it really mean a lot to me. It really enlighten me and I felt a relief. Although I research also by my own but still I can no confirmation about it. I'm glad that there's a forum like this and glad that I'm part of it now.
Thank you LJ, I also hope that all is well with you,

What is Axwell up to post-Swedish House Mafia?
It's still hard to grasp that Swedish House Mafia has gone their separate ways after an emotional show at Ultra Music Festival a mere few weeks ago. But the guys seem to be doing great. Steve Angello has just launched a new label, in addition to celebrating 10 years with his Size Records. But what is Axwell up to?
Well, he knows where the party is! He is helping to turn the Swedish Maritime Museum in Stockholm into a club space - the first time the museum will be used for live music!
According to MixMag, the show is part of Carlsberg's "Where's The Party?" series, where Axwell will play, along with a number of other artists - and 9,000 party people to dance the night away.
And that's not all! We can expect some new music from the Swedish DJ to go along with the show!

Bermuda is justifiably famous for pink-sand beaches, impossibly blue water, and kelly-green golf courses. But that's only the beginning. Thanks to its colourful past, this small sliver of land also has a surprising number of historic sites. In addition to countless quaint old cottages, it's said to have the oldest continually inhabited town of English origin in the Western Hemisphere and—because of its strategic Atlantic location—more forts per square mile than any other place on earth.
Bermuda has a distinctive culture, too: one that combines a reverence for British traditions dating back to colonial days with a more relaxed attitude befitting a subtropical island. In court, for instance, local lawyers may still wear formal flowing robes—yet there's a good chance that they're sporting Bermuda shorts beneath them. So while you're here, take time to look beyond the obvious and savor all that Bermuda has to offer.
There is certainly no shortage of things to see. The town of St. George's, at the island's East End, is the original 1600s settlement and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city of Hamilton (not to be confused with the parish of the same name farther northeast) is home to Bermuda's principal harbour and most of its shops. It's also the main departure point for sightseeing boats, ferries, and the pink-and-blue buses that ramble all over the island. The Royal Naval Dockyard, at the West End, is a former British shipyard that has been transformed into a stunning tourist attraction.
All three of these destinations can be explored easily on foot. The rest of the island, however, is best discovered by taxi, motor scooter, or even bicycle—but only if you're fit, because Bermuda is hilly! The main roads connecting the parishes are North Shore Road, Middle Road, South Road (also known as South Shore Road), and Harbour Road. Their names make it easy for you to get your bearings and almost all the traffic traversing the island's 21-mi length is concentrated on them, although some 1,200 smaller roads also crisscross it.
Bermuda has long been thought of as a pricey vacation destination, but since the Bermudian dollar is on par with the American one, visitors from the States don't have to fret over the declining value of the greenback. Since U.S. bills are so widely accepted, vacationers don't have to bother with currency exchanges, either.

Graffiti isn't just a culture, It's life and I love it!
I did this on notebook paper so you have an idea of its size...took ten minutes to develope about 30 seconds to draw the final image you see.the vowels overlap the consonants as they are without extensions.two colors...what a throw is is a piece thrown up real quickly,mostly used for bombing and its utility...how to develope style...the best advice is enter as many battles as you can manage the time for...your work will crown itself in time...look in the old battle threads,my old shit is MUSASHI.I only won one battle out of all the ones I entered but I didnt let that discourage me I was on fire in my mind...and alot of people liked my stuff but there were alot of writers that could burn me upside and down the other...did I care no!!!! I did what I did and I'm glad I did cuz I was getting up...

Thatguy- I'm kinda likin those. Good simple style. The E and N need a little work.
Numaga- GO SIMPLER. Work on clean lines and form before trying to get crazy. Take it slow.
Ashis- same advice
Havoc- Clean it up. It has potential.
My funk.
Your hands GREATLY outweigh your throws man, that needs a lot of work. pretty much every letter.
that little bouncy ball on the back of the A ruins it.
The E doesn't need a lower lip, or a jawline, just one line.
same with the P, no need to fold it in.
the holes are really cheesy looking too, just a line of a dot or a hole that follows the shape of the letter would be fine.
momma on the phone askin if im still trappin
lol^... guywhodrinkstea is that begen ? Anyway the second e on the second throw resembles an f too much fix that and your letters do the same as mine start one size and with each letter get larger so idk i'm working on that too. Are you left handed by any chance?
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
Sorry for my shit earlier! Just pisses me off when i feel like im not making progress.
is this better..

i understand whats its suppose to be but your bunny doesnt really look like a V it just looks like a character, the I looks like a C....i shouldnt have to explain that one, and the E looks like a t/+. Define your letters
Fuck off.
thatd be an ugly ass t the v is more towards a bunny cuz it expresses itself for that given time n i like it i mean cmon it has a face as a base n 2 ears for the v...the i being a c is only cuz of the lighting....that line goes all the way thru....the the heart beat in the t is to break it out to be an e....so yea...

Some older throws I've painted.
My last post is a more cartoony style I wanted to work on, but I guess I'll scrap it.
I was Born Ready Mother Fucker...
The overlaps at the bottom of the E and G don't look like they need to be there, but you still need to have that middle bar visible for the G. And your N doesn't look quite right. Not a bad start though.
going simple lol
tea - looks good, i don't like that little thing on the top of the N though
Hey guys, im fairly new to graffiti and this forum.

Various Mixes 2008-2012 -MP3-
These are some mixes I put together from 2008 through 2012 to promote my various parties in NYC. I decided to leave these up for you to enjoy. There are many more mixes contained in the various older posts of this blog that were all done while I lived in West Africa from 2005-'08 and first got infected with this amazing music.
04:00 Orch. Poly Rythmo -ou c'est lui ou c'est moi" (unreleased version)
14:36 Evelyn Dance Band led by Orlando Julius -erora miliki
21:37 Uhuru Sounds -ariwo yaa
26:58 Jake Sollo -deiyo deiyo
31:26 Bonds Funk Band -sitting at the court hall
35:01 Pyramid's 7 -shokolokobangoshay
41:17 Big John Oaikhena -agbon nu ghegbeji
46:13 Rail Band de Mali -djiguiya
56:01 St. Augustine -kpalanuma
63:20 Orch. le Bida de la Capitale -kenuma
Lately I've been seriously getting into Highlife tunes from Benin City (no relations to Benin the country). Benin City is the capital of Edo state in Southern Nigeria and birthplace of Sir Victor Uwaifo. I hope you will enjoy this music as much as I do. All these songs are really long, I only managed to fit seven of them into this mix that runs well over 1 hour... I don't like to cut tracks short. To me the length of these tracks matches the trance inducing nature of the music.
05:18 Ugbo & his Philosophers -efe
14:25 Collins Oke -iguo
22:18 Aigbe Lebarty -green revolution
30:22 Victor Uwaifo -ohue
38:38 Akaba Man -ighie vibie
45:27 Talents of Benin -ovbiokhokho
This is a Nigerian Disco mix I put together to promote my Lagos Disco Inferno Parties. Click on the image for a direct link to the mp3 and get sweaty!
My main man in Ghana, Dankyi-Appah Safo Kennedy aka Ken has recently gone international and been spending some time digging for records in Northern Nigeria. When I got to talk to Albert Jones from the Freedom Family and Geraldo Pino's Heartbeats about the scene in Kano and Kaduna back in the 1970s, I became certain that there have to be records up there. This turned out to be true as Ken just express-mailed me a big box of packed with the most unbelievable Nigerian funk 45s. Of course I couldn't resist but throw together a quick mix using some of these gems... a few boxes with LPs should arrive here at Voodoo Funk headquarters shortly and once they are here, I'm sure another mix will follow up in no time.
I'm not listing all tracks. Sorry for being so squirelly but I'm in the process of sourcing some of these tunes for possible re-issue and I don't want people chopping up my mixes and re-posting these tracks individually on YouTube or on one of those lame torrent sites...

Men's Squash 2012-13 Schedule
Women's Squash 2012-13 Schedule
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Squash is back for another Ivy League season, as the men and women competed at the Ivy League Scrimmages in New Haven, Conn. from Nov. 10-11. The women took the top spot, beating Cornell, Harvard and Yale. The men's side finished sixth, dropping the fifth-place playoff to Dartmouth.
The Ivy Scrimmages are an exhibition tournament for all of the Ivy teams to work out the kinks, so the result will not count toward the regular season.
The women's team, ranked No. 5 in the Dunlop 2012-13 Women's College Squash Preseason poll, began against Cornell in the quarterfinals. The Quakers rolled 8-1 over the No. 6 Big Red, moving on to the semifinals. There Penn faced last year's national champion, No. 1 Harvard. The Red and Blue took down the Crimson, 6-3, and advanced to the final against the host, No. 2 Yale. Penn won the Ivy League Scrimmages, 7-2, over the Bulldogs.
"Many of the teams were missing players due to injury, but it was a great way to start the season," said assistant coach Amy Gross. "Women's squash hopes to contend for the Ivy and national titles this season."
Gross' expectations are matched by the fact that Penn will return the entire squad from 2011-12, when the women finished third in the Ivies and was 10-4 overall.
On the men's side, No. 9 Penn fell to No. 4 Cornell, 7-2, in the quarterfinals. Next, the Quakers met No. 10 Columbia, topping the Lions 5-4. The Quakers advanced to the fifth-place playoff against No. 8 Dartmouth. The Red and Blue dropped the match, 5-4, as Penn's No. 8 Jack Maine defaulted due to injury.
"There were two extremely close five-game matches at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions against Dartmouth," said Gross. "We are hoping to improve that finish throughout the season."
The men finished 2-5 in Ivy League competition last season, good for sixth. With lone senior Dan Greenberg looking to fill the shoes of departed 2011-12 second-team All-CSA and first-team All-Ivy performer Thomas Mattsson at the No. 1 spot, the young team is looking to improve its head-to-head results in the Ivy League.
Both teams begin their 2012-13 campaign on Saturday in Washington, D.C., facing Bates at 2 p.m. and George Washington at 6 p.m.

Daylight Savings Time
What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Saving Time (United States) 2015 begins on Sunday, March 13th 2016 at 2:00AM and ends Sunday, November 6th
DOES DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME REALLY SAVE ENERGY? There have been a number of conflicting reports about how much energy is saved from Daylight Saving Time. Back in the 1970s, studies showed we saved 1% of energy nationally, which was a big motivation for adopting DST. On the one hand, states like California argue the energy savings are negligible. But another report published in 2008 by the U.S. Department of Energy concluded 4 weeks extra of daylight savings time could conserve 1.3 trillion watt-hours per day, enough to power 100,000 homes for a year. ... Though Benjamin Franklin first came up with the idea in 1784, DST wasn't used until World War I to conserve energy. The U.S. observed year-round DST during World War II and implemented it during the energy crisis in the 1970s.
From http://www.timeanddate.com
See The World Clock for current times and places observing daylight saving time (DST) at the moment.
Many locations in the world set their clocks from 2am (or 02:00) to 3am (or 03:00) in their local times when they begin daylight saving time. However, some places change their clocks at other times, depending on the daylight saving time rules.
When Do the Clocks Change?
Northern Hemisphere
Daylight saving time begins in the northern hemisphere between March–April and ends between September–November. Standard time begins in the northern hemisphere between September–November and ends between March–April. Many countries in the northern hemisphere may observe DST.
Southern Hemisphere
Daylight saving time begins in the southern hemisphere between September–November and ends between March–April. Standard time begins in the southern hemisphere between March–April and ends between September–November. Many countries in the southern hemisphere may observe DST.
More About Daylight Saving Time
Why Observe DST?
Many countries observe DST, and many do not. The reason many countries implement DST is in hopes to make better use of the daylight in the evenings, as well as some believe that it could be linked to reducing the amount of road accidents and injuries. The extra hour of daylight in the evening is said to give children more social time with friends and family and can even boost the tourism industry because it increases the amount of outdoor activies.
DST is also considered as a means to save energy due to less artificial light needed during the evening hours—clocks are set one hour ahead during the spring, and one hour back to standard time in the autumn. However, many studies disagree about the energy savings of DST and while some may show a positive outcome of the energy savings, others do not.
It is difficult to predict what will happen with Daylight Saving Time in the future. The daylight saving date in many countries may change from time to time due to special events or conditions.The United States, Canada and some other countries extended DST in 2007. The new start date is the second Sunday in March (previously the first Sunday in April) through to the first Sunday in November (previously the last Sunday in October).
Did You Know?
- Russia reduced their number of time zones from eleven to nine and are considering getting rid of daylight saving time in 2011.
- Egypt changed their clocks four times last year, which means that they observed DST twice in 2010.
- The United Kingdom may switch to Single Double Summer Time, which would move the UK to UTC+1 in the winter time and UTC+2 during the summer time.
- Northern Mexican border cities share the same DST plan as the United States rather than most of Mexico.
Brief History of DST
Benjamin Franklin first suggested Daylight Saving Time in 1784, but modern DST was not proposed until 1895 when an entomologist from New Zealand, George Vernon Hudson, presented a proposal for a two-hour daylight saving shift to the Wellington Philosophical Society.
The conception of DST was mainly credited to an English builder, William Willett in 1905, when he presented the idea to advance the clock during the summer months. His proposal was published two years later and introduced to the House of Commons in February 1908. The first Daylight Saving Bill was examined by a select committee but was never made into a law. It wasn't until World War I, in 1916, that DST was adopted and implemented by several countries in Europe who initially rejected the idea. There is more information about the history of DST on our website.
In which direction does the clock move?
The clock moves ahead (thus, losing one hour) when DST starts, typically in the spring, and falls back one hour (thus, gaining one hour) when DST ends in the fall. To make it easier to remember which way the clock goes, keep in mind one of these sayings: "spring forward, fall back" or "spring ahead, fall behind."
Is DST always one hour ahead of normal time?
Today it is almost always one hour ahead, but throughout history there have been several variants on this, such as half adjustment (30 minutes) or double adjustment (two hours), and adjustments of 20 and 40 minutes have also been used. A two-hour adjustment was used in several countries during the 1940s and elsewhere at times.
A half adjustment was sometimes used in New Zealand in the first half of the 20th century. Australia's Lord Howe Island (UTC+10:30) currently follows a DST schedule that moves its clocks forward half an hour to UTC+11, which is Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) when it is on DST.
Sometimes DST is used for a longer period than just the summer, as it was in the United States during World War II. From February 3, 1942 to September 30, 1945 most of the United States had DST all year; it was called "War Time."

EL MONTE - A family expressed outrage Friday after an El Monte police officer shot their pet 2-year-old German Shepherd inside their fenced-in front yard while following up on a report of a runaway teenager. The family was forced to put the dog down following the shooting.
"I'm hurt that they would do this to my pet, but at the same time I'm angry because they act like they don't even care. They didn't apologize," Luu said through a Vietnamese translator.
In an encounter recorded by a home security camera shortly after 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, two police officers arrived at the home of Cathy Luu, her husband Chi Nguyen and their children in the 4700 block of Maxson Road.
The officers had an appointment to meet with Luu and Nguyen about 3:30 p.m. to discuss their teenage son, who had apparently run away from home over the weekend, and pick up a photograph, according to El Monte police officials and the dog owners. But the investigators were delayed and ended up arriving about 4:30 p.m.
Police and the family gave conflicting reports of the events leading up to the shooting.
Police said the officers shook the gate and otherwise took care to check if there were dogs present in the yard before opening the gate and entering. But a video captured by the family's home security camera appears to support Luu's claim that the officers simply parked their patrol car and entered the yard without checking for dogs, despite two posted "beware of dog" signs, including one mounted to the gate itself.
After being shot, the wounded dog ran to the backyard of the home. It was later euthanized at a veterinary hospital.
The loss of the female German Shepherd, named Kiki, devastated the family, Luu said, especially the couple's 11-year-old son.
"She was his baby," the mother son. "He cried all night. He still cries."
In addition to the death of the dog, family members said they were concerned about the safety of an officer firing a gun in a neighborhood crowded with children.
There were four children present at the home when the shooting occurred, and a children's pool party was taking place in a front yard across the street, according to the family and the video.
"What if my son ran outside behind the dog?" Luu said. "When I think about it, it's scary."
Police were conducting an internal investigation into the shooting, El Monte police Capt. Dan Buehler said.
Police did not name the officer who shot the dog, however the family identified her as Officer A. Castillo. The officer could not be reached for comment Friday.
"From reviewing the report, it's my opinion that the officer followed policy," he said.
"They did go up to the front (gate)," the captain said. "There was a beware of dog sign of the gate. They did what we always do as police officers. They shook the gate. They didn't see any dogs."
"They looked for any signs of dogs - chew toys, dog mess, what have you," Buehler said, adding that they entered the yard after not seeing anything indicating a dog was present.
"They walked up to the porch. They rang the doorbell. They knocked on the door. That's when the first dog came around the house," he said.
One of the officers is seen on the video petting the pit bull before returning to the gate, which had been left open by the officers, and closing it. The male officer was outside the closed gate when the second officer, a female, was confronted by the German shepherd.
"Then the German shepherd came from behind the house," Buehler said. "The German shepherd came up. It was much more aggressive than the pit bull. It was growling, it was barking."
The (female) officer remained on the porch and continued knocking on the front door with her foot as the German shepherd charged toward her, he said.
"As the dog got to about three feet of this officer, this officer had no other choice than to fire a round," Buehler said.
The dog was struck in the side.
The video, however, depicts the officers walking up to the gate, opening it and entering, seemingly without breaking stride.
Luu said she asked the officer why she shot the dog, and why they officers simply entered the yard without calling on the phone.
Luu said the officer responded that she did not see the "beware of dog" signs, and that she did try to reach the family by phone, though Luu said she received no such phone call.
Luu said she told the officers that her dog, which was lying wounded in the backyard and vomiting blood, needed medical attention. An officer responded that the dog was okay.
Before the animal was treated, officers demanded to see license documents not only for the wounded dog, but for the family's other dogs, Nguyen's sister Anna Nguyen said.
The dog lay wounded for more than an hour before being taken for treatment by animal control officials, the video shows.
Buehler said animal control officials were promptly contacted after the incident.
Following the shooting, which was recorded on the video about 4:36 p.m., animal control officials are seen arriving at 5:12 p.m. The wounded dog is carried from the home by an animal control officer at 5:39 p.m.
Luu said police officials initially told her they would take care of the dog's medical expenses, but changed their mind once a veterinarian informed them the dog would require an operation costing at least $7,000 to save its life.
Luu said she was told by a Police Department supervisor that the surgery exceeded the value of the dog, and suggested she just get a new pet.
"Maybe he didn't have a dog and he doesn't understand," she said. "It's not about the money. It's about the love."
Unable to afford the surgery themselves, the family elected to have the dog put down, Luu said. "It's sad."
The family was then notified that they owed more than $900 for the treatment the dog had already received, Chi Nguyen said.
But the clinic ultimately told the family no payment was required. The family said they did not know if the city paid the bill, or if the veterinarian simply chose to forgive it.
Family members said they would like to see more remorse on the part of police over the incident, as well as a new puppy to replace Kiki.
"Maybe they should be trained better," Anna Nguyen said of officers. "They should apologize."
Neighbor Suzette Parrish said she was also outraged over the dog's shooting.
"This is absolutely wrong. They shoot the persons's dog. Then they say it's not their fault. Then they won't get the dog medical attention. Then they don't want to pay for the operation that (would) save the dog," Parrish said. "There is no justified reason for shooting that dog.
Luu said she spoke to her runaway son Thursday by telephone. He was at a friend's home.

GSA's Wind Energy Contract Wins White House Award
June 10, 2003
Contact: Viki Reath (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration's (GSA) wind power contract, which supplies full power to two New York State federal buildings, has won a White House Closing the Circle Award recognizing outstanding federal environmental efforts.
"Responsible environmental stewardship is an integral part of GSA's programs," said GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry. "We strive to carry out social, environmental and other responsibilities as a federal agency, while operating efficiently and effectively, and ensuring financial accountability. These goals are consistent with our mission, which is to help federal agencies better serve the public."
GSA's contract with Select Energy New York Inc. of Syracuse, N.Y., won the White House award that recognizes best examples of acquiring environmentally sensitive products or services at significant cost savings. The 94,918-square-foot Pirnie Federal Building in Utica consumes 500-megawatt hours (mWh). The 105,000-square-foot Binghamton Federal Building consumes 600 mWh.
GSA's wind power contract helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and provide clean, reliable electricity. Wind power environmental benefits also include:
An expected 8,437-pound-per-year decrease in the release of sulfur dioxide (S02), which contributes to acid rain, brown clouds and regional haze.
An expected 3,332-pound-per-year decrease in nitrogen oxides (N0x), which should decrease ground-level ozone and smog.
An expected 1.7-million-pound-per-year decrease in the release of carbon dioxide (C02), which is implicated in global climate change.
The GSA team responsible for the agency's first 100 percent wind power contract includes: Louis Lozito, Public Buildings Service (PBS) Chief Facility Support Branch, Region 2; Linda Collins, Director, National Gas Acquisition Program, PBS Energy Center of Expertise; and Brian K. Magden, Regional Energy Coordinator, Region 2. The Region 2 members work under the direction of Regional Administrator Karl Reichelt.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies, and services. GSA's 14,000 associates provide services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers in 8,000 government-owned and leased buildings in 2,000 U.S. communities.

With Europe's Economy Still Hobbled, the Currency's Surge Could Soon Stall
The euro, once on death's door, is on a monthslong tear, rising Wednesday to its highest level since November 2011.
But even some investors who helped propel the currency above $1.3560 Wednesday say it can't fly much further.

NPR's Problematic "Willie Horton" Analogy
A new NPR piece equating scrutiny of Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital with the racially charged "Willie Horton" ad from 1988 could provide fodder for Romney supporters who want to shield the candidate from criticism.
In a post titled, "Bain attacks on Romney recall notorious 'Willie Horton' ads," NPR's Ron Elving set the clock back to 1988 to explain how criticism of Romney's record at Bain from Republicans in the primary could in turn hurt the GOP during the general election.
But NPR's analogy is flawed. Romney has been citing his experience at Bain Capital as a justification for why he is best suited for the presidency. That makes the intense scrutiny into his record fair game. By contrast, the ads about Willie Horton were unadulterated race-baiting with the intent to scare voters and marginalize Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis.
During the 1988 presidential campaign, Republicans turned questions about Dukakis' support for a program that allowed criminals to participate in weekend furloughs into the Horton attack ads. Elving wrote [1]:
[T]he real danger of the Bain story will not be manifest among Republicans this winter and spring. The real danger is that the story bobs back up in the summer and fall.
To be sure, Dukakis' general election campaign had plenty of other problems. But none was so lurid and enduring as the ads attacking him for the furlough program (and featuring a frightful prison picture of Horton). Those ads -- which also drew accusations of racism for their frightening portrayal of a black criminal -- helped make George H.W. Bush the 41st president of the United States (and his son the 43rd).
It's a distant mirror, of course, but the circumstances of a weak primary candidate raising an emotional issue in 1988 resemble those by which Gingrich and others now attempt to derail the Romney express.
The Horton issue worked because it resonated with Dukakis' image as a bleeding heart liberal. The Bain assault works if voters come to see Romney as a heartless capitalist, a Wall Street marauder wrapped in patriotic patois.
To his credit, Elving acknowledged the racial component of the Horton ads, but the very analogy can in turn be used to make any effort to examine Romney's record at Bain verboten, even as Romney continues to tout that record on the campaign trail.
Indeed, Romney's tenure at Bain has become central to his campaign, as The Washington Post's Greg Sargent noted [2]. It is Romney who has raised the issue of the decisions he made at Bain, thereby inviting scrutiny of those decisions. It's critical that the media scrutinize Romney's Bain record and the claims he is making related to his time there.
And that scrutiny is not just coming from fellow Republican candidates. Nobel laureate and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman has parsed [3] the impact Romney's decisions had on employment. Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler has criticized Romney's campaign for using "untenable [4]" employment figures from the Bain years. The Wall Street Journal analyzed [5] the broader financial performance of companies connected to Bain during Romney's tenure there.
The effects Romney's decisions have had on the broader economy remain open to scrutiny.
That is what makes NPR's comparison to "the tale of Willie Horton" so problematic.
As a November 1999 Slate column by Timothy Noah explained [6]:
Horton, you may recall, is a black man who, while doing prison time in Massachusetts for murder, escaped from a weekend furlough and committed a particularly brutal assault and rape. Dukakis hadn't started the state program that allowed prisoners like Horton, who were serving life sentences without parole, to take furloughs--that would have been Dukakis' Republican predecessor as governor of Massachusetts, Francis Sargent. But Dukakis, even after hearing what Horton did on his furlough, was resistant to ending the program, which the state legislature finally did after much crusading by a local newspaper.
Now recall what the Republicans did with Horton's story: An "independent expenditure" group aired an ad for Bush showing a picture of Horton. A Republican fund-raising letter in Maryland showed pictures of Dukakis and Horton alongside the following text: "Is this your pro-family team for 1988?" Horton told Playboy magazine in 1989 that a woman who identified herself as working for "an organization affiliated with the Bush campaign" phoned him and wrote letters to him up in prison trying to get him to endorse Dukakis. The official Bush campaign, of course, kept its distance from such efforts, and claimed to use Horton only in race-neutral ways. But there is plenty of evidence that it was heartily appreciative of the racial subtext. In his book about the 1988 campaign, Pledging Allegiance, Blumenthal quotes an anonymous member of the Bush campaign team as saying, "Willie Horton has star quality. Willie's going to be politically furloughed to terrorize again. It's a wonderful mix of liberalism and a big black rapist."
Noah also noted the key role Lee Atwater played in connecting Horton to Dukakis. Atwater, who served as campaign manager to then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, spoke to a gathering of southern Republicans during the campaign and speculated that Horton "may end up to be Dukakis' running mate." As NPR itself noted:
Republican campaign-master Lee Atwater knew a wedge issue when he saw one. "By the time I'm done," Atwater said with a wink, "people will think Willie Horton is his running mate."
The "Willie Horton tale" proved to be so toxic to the public discourse that Atwater later apologized for his role in it. A January 14, 1991, Associated Press article quoted Atwater, who was gravely ill at the time, apologizing for having pushed the notion that Horton was Dukakis' running mate, and saying that the comment "makes me sound racist, which I am not."
This analogy has no place in the discussion of Romney's record.

Using buttercream and royal icing are really the best ways to improve your decorating skills – each has its own feel and requires different pressure on the decorating bag. I suggest starting with buttercream icing – you can make your decorations on a practice board or on a cake board covered in waxed paper. When you have finished the board, scoop up the icing and put back into its container and refrigerate to be reused. Since no one will be eating these decorations, you could do this for quite some time. Then, once you feel skilled in making a number of decorations, try them with royal icing – you'll find the switchover relatively easy, and won't require as much time or icing to create perfect decorations.

AnTiki is lifted out of the water
The pictures below show how to lift a raft out of the water.
Sounds easy doesn't it? Well, let me tell you AnTiki weighs nigh on 10 tons and I remember only too well the long day we spent in Valle Gran Rey manouvering her into the water from where we built her.
It took two diggers all day, and lots of arm waving, lots of worrying.
The guys at St Maarten Shipyard are a tower of strength. They have come to the rescue of Anthony in his hour of need and demonstrated how easy it is to lift ANY vessel when you've got the right bit of kit. The SEALIFT !

as it is known, some monks practice hatha yoga asanas.
What about laughter yoga? Is a monk allowed to practice laughter yoga if he choses to do so?
With laughter yoga I mean the practice of deliberate laughing for some minutes.
(See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughter_Yoga)
Is laughter yoga compatible with buddhist practice?
Any thoughts much appreciated.

Hopefully that will put it into perspective for you. Enjoy =)

A lot of filmmakers have thought that Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, a fantastic survival tale of an Indian teen shipwrecked in a lifeboat with a vicious tiger, was unfilmable.
Even the movie's director, Ang Lee, thought so.
"I remember thinking, 'This will never be made into a movie,' " Lee said in a recent phone interview to promote "Life of Pi," which opens in theaters nationwide on Wednesday, Nov. 21.
Lee whose films range from the kung-fu spectacle of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the intimate heartbreak of "Brokeback Mountain" said he found Martel's novel "fascinating, mindboggling. … It's vividly written, especially the ocean part. But I [thought] it will be technically pretty impossible. And it has an unsettling ending, which is not usually how a movie would go."
He put the idea aside, but "once in a while the movie would show up in my head," he said. "I kept thinking about how to crack this thing."
Lee and screenwriter David Magee ("Finding Neverland") worked to put a structure to the movie's narrative in part by having the story of teen Pi (played by newcomer Suraj Sharma) told by his older self (played by the veteran Indian actor Irrfan Khan) to a journalist (Rafe Spall).
Martel's book speaks in "a very mature voice, even though it's about a 16-year-old Indian boy," Lee said.
To get the look right, Lee said he studied different ways to employ visual effects to create the tiger named Richard Parker onto the screen. He also found a water tank in his native Taiwan where he could film the ocean scenes of Pi's survival story.
And, to top it off, he struck upon the idea of filming the movie in 3-D, "which was very naive," he admitted. This was before director James Cameron had broken and rewritten the visual rules of 3-D with "Avatar." But even then Lee believed "maybe with an extra dimension, people would give [the fantastical story] more allowance."
Working with 3-D cameras proved difficult.
"It's like operating a refrigerator," Lee said. "The equipment is clumsy, the projection is problematic. … When you're shooting a winter movie, on water, it fogs up."
Also, the experts told him the 3-D equipment is delicate, and "we took it out, banging around, to make a water movie. And we took it through India," Lee said.
There's still the question of whether audiences used to the illusion of depth in 2-D films will adjust to 3-D images. "It's a film language that's not established," Lee said.
In the end, "Life of Pi" will rise or fall not on Lee's technical prowess (which is considerable), but on his ability to make viewers connect with Pi's story.
And while Pi's story often focuses on faith the young Pi becomes a connoisseur of religions Lee said, "to me, it is not such a story that makes you believe in God, but a story that talks about the importance of storytelling."

Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by kristie, Sep 12, 2012.
Man, she absolutely killed it, that was an amazing performance!
I tend to avoid this thread until I'm caught up. And I FINALLY caught up on all the episodes, including the results show tonight.
The names blur after awhile, but there were a couple that didn't get picked in the votes that I was surprised by. Partially because their live performance wasn't all that great.
I think overall that Blake and Adam had the stronger teams with Cee-lo behind them. Cee-lo having Trevin on his team is what balances out some of the artists he picked.
I won't talk the Results show until more people have posted. But there were some shockers to say the least.
Dam I was not far off on my guesses the week before the Playoffs
Team Adam
Nailed it
Team Blake
I had Liz as the third but Michaela step up her game I did not see that coming. How Pope would as the second highest vote getter beats me . I like her but she was not the 2nd best performance in Blake's group during the Playoffs thought Michaela deserved that spot and thought Blake was going to have to chose between pop and Liz.
Team Celo
Ok the Shocker again Cody dam that guy keeps shocking me he deserved the third spot. The dude is actually a good singer and has gotten better. I am still shocked that he beat Avery when Celo said Avery & Cody I was like dam Cody just pack your bags. Then he stepped up again he is funny and entertaining as well but his signing has improved Celo has done a great job coaching this year.
Team Xinta
Team bland
well I took a wild stab when Xtina on the third person on her team they all sound the same so one Pop singer vs the other yea who cares. I knew Sylvia & Dez where going to move one since the Blinds Xtina has been slobbering all over those two.
Only one word to describe the live show...disappointing.
Trevin and Terry were great. Nick, Cassidee and Michaela were pretty good.
Really mad about Amanda and Cody both were shaky.
Team Christina? One word AWFUL!
Is it just me or is Trevin in a league of his own?
Not sure how many go home tomorrow but my bottom two are Cassadee and Adriana. Nothing wrong with their performance just thought they where in the bottom.
Trevin and Melanie where my favorites tonight.
Amanda was good tonight but i did not think it was her best performance. She is not going home by any means but her last three acts where just better.
Team Xtina is what i call team bland :laugh2:
Cassadee was in my bottom and I liked her coming out of the knock rounds but I have not been that impressed the last two weeks. This from a guy that just does not like Bryan Keith (Just not my taste) at all and I thought he was better than her
There were some poor song choices for sure. And how do you let someone do "my heart will go on"? That song is not made to shorten and make changes too.
Michaela should have stayed. She is better than either moving on for Christina, Cody, Brian or Cassadee.
Terry is the best and it isn't even close.
I had Cassadee in my bottom two after last night that was me
While Terry is very good and deserves to get a record deal he's not as good as Trevin imo.
Apparently CLo likes to beat women..
seems that way to me.
Probably because he knows pretty much any man would knock his little stubby arse out.

text: Approaching another Thanksgiving, now as a father of two small children, I cannot help but reflect on the great memories I have from my childhood for this time of year. I grew up in a family with two brothers, one older and one younger and one passion we all shared was football. We played football against our friends and family, we watched our favorite team whenever they were on and read about the games in newspapers and magazines. Football was in our blood especially around Thanksgiving. I talked with my brothers the other day and asked what if any game stuck out in their memories to see if it matched mine and we all agreed the first great football memory was a game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks in 1980 when the Cowboys defeated the Seahawks 51-7. My memories are vivid for several reasons. First, it was one of the last Thanksgivings we had at my grandparent's house as my grandfather would pass away in the summer of 1982, so it was the next to last Thanksgiving we had with him. Regarding the matchup, as a lifelong Cowboys fan the game was as close to perfect as you could get with a total domination by the Tom Landry led Cowboys. Anyone else remember this game?

Best Of :: People & Places
When a new, $8 million pedestrian bridge opened over I-25 at what would be 16th Street, it seemed to offer a quick, safe way for people to move between downtown — via LoDo, the Millennium Bridge and the Platte Valley — and Highland, at the edge of north Denver. But the convenience of the bridge comes to a crashing halt at 11 p.m., because the route runs through public parks in the Platte Valley — and Denver curfew rules close the parks at that hour.
The stately Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is one of the most important buildings in the Mountain Standard time zone. Built in 1936, the concrete-and-black aggregate structure combines Pueblo style with art moderne design, and was unquestionably the high point of architect John Gaw Meem's career. But while the building remained stunning, sixty years after its completion, it was also too small. After a misguided attempt to enlarge it failed, Denver architect David Owen Tryba and his crew were hired in 2003 to come up with a solution. And they did. The addition, which debuted last summer, is tucked behind the original building, giving the center adequate facilities to both showcase its impressive collection and host traveling shows while preserving the integrity of the original design.
The city was agog at reported Britney Spears sightings earlier this year. But her best Colorado appearance was in cartoon form — as if that isn't always the case — on a recent episode of South Park, the Comedy Central series that just celebrated its tenth anniversary. In "Britney's New Look," the pop princess fled the paparazzi and landed in South Park, the mythical creation of Colorado boys Matt Stone and Trey Parker, where she wound up losing her head. As if you could tell.
Long before commuting was cool, green-thinking Boulderites started hopping the B Route when they needed to get to downtown Denver — for a meeting, for a dinner, for a play. But just sitting on the B bus can be entertainment enough, since it gives you easy eavesdropping access to conversations involving everyone from MacArthur Foundation grant winners and University of Colorado professors to fraternity leaders planning the next big bash.
No matter how much the city cleans up East Colfax Avenue, RTD's #15 bus will always be the true gauge of this neighborhood. Hop on between Colorado and Broadway, and listen to East High School students talking with the homeless. Or as happy hour turns to night, watch as drunken blue-collars heading home from the strip's rougher bars rub shoulders with twenty-something hipsters on their way to hear live music. Conversation is the sole soundtrack to this route, because music is allowed with headphones only — and you'd better have exact change, because RTD doesn't dish any out. Other than that, though, no rules apply and all bets are off. Whether you're chatting with an immigrant about the world he left behind or hoping that the drug dealer to your left will leave you alone, the #15 delivers the bold, hard facts on the real Colfax.
Isaac Slade, frontman for the Fray, Denver's first double-platinum band, has been living the dream in more ways than one. Last year he met up with Sir Benjamin Slade, an English aristocrat in search of an heir to inherit his thirteenth mansion. The estate, valued at $15 million, includes three lakes, a ballroom (perfect for private rock shows), hundreds of cattle — and plenty of expensive upkeep projects. Sir Benjamin had been looking for an heir for eighteen months before he decided that Isaac might be just the Slade he was looking for; at last report, Isaac still hadn't decided if English manor life was for him.

Part of the chain of islands forming the Outer Hebrides (or Western Isles), Lewis is renowned for its unspoilt beaches and places of historic interest such as the Callanish Stone Circle. The islands are home to a wide variety of wildlife and strong local traditions.
Attractions include a series of Highland Games and a whole host of musical events including the world famous annual Hebridean Celtic Music Festival.
Broad Bay House is situated in a small working crofting community in a beachside location about 7 miles north of Stornoway on the east coast of the Isle of Lewis, providing easy access to the airport and ferry terminal. It enjoys a stunning coastal location with direct access to the beach some 60 feet away and views across the Minch to the mountains on the Scottish mainland.

Our GPS co-ordinates are 58.281oN and 6.282oW. Please note that using our postcode will miss us by a couple of miles.
There are up to 12 flights every day to Stornoway Airport from
- Glasgow (Flybe)
- Edinburgh (Flybe)
- Inverness (Flybe)
- Aberdeen (Eastern Airways)
These operators all have a good network of connecting flights from the rest of the UK and Europe to link with flights to the islands. Total flight time, including a change and connection can be as short as
Gatwick – 3hrs 50 mins
Southampton – 3hrs 50 mins
Paris – 4 hrs
A further option is to use another carrier such as Easyjet or Ryanair to travel to Scotland, and then get a flight up to Stornoway. This can sometimes be more cost effective, but slightly less convenient
Caledonian Macbrayne is the iconic Scottish ferry company providing services to all the islands on the west coast of Scotland.
There are two options from the mainland if you are travelling directly to Broad Bay House:
- Ullapool to Stornoway – 2hrs 45mins crossing time, with 2-3 return sailings per day and one return sailing on Sunday
- Uig (on Skye) to Tarbert (1 hour's drive from Broad Bay House) – 1hr 40mins crossing time, with 1-2 return sailings per day
We suggest that you might want to travel out by one route and back using the other to see as much of the mainland scenery as possible.
If you plan on doing the grand Hebridean Journey and travelling all the way up through the islands from Barra to Lewis (or vice versa), then you will need the Leverburgh to Berneray service to get to/from North Uist
