- Athletic Association
Frequently Asked Questions
How can we as parents, faculty, and staff help?
Catholic schools have always strived to keep the cost of tuition as affordable as possible to enable as many parents to provide this gift to their children. The needed revenues associated with athletics are largely derived by our fund raising efforts and memberships in our Athletic Association. We are asking for your continued support financially to provide the quality resources and equipment so necessary to allow our student athletes to be as successful as they can be.
What is the Athletic Association?
Our St. Pius X Athletic Association is the school's only athletic booster club, and is specifically chartered to provide support for ALL of our sports programs. We supply volunteers and we raise funds for all of our teams. Support for our athletic teams is centralized in this way to ensure quality in all of our programs, to relieve our coaches from burdensome fund raising responsibilities, and to make sure our families aren't burdened with a multitude of fundraisers.
Gifts Directed to Specific Programs
We do, however, recognize that athletic teams periodically have extraordinary needs for equipment or other enhancements to their programs and that there are parents who desire to provide for those needs. To that end, St. Pius X now permits gifts made to specific programs. To facilitate giving toward a program's needs, coaches, in preparing their budgets for the year, have created "wish lists" to provide potential contributors with their extraordinary program needs. If you desire to make a gift to a specific program, above and beyond your membership, for an item on a wish list, we as a community thank you. Wish lists are available with the Athletic Association Board; with the Athletic Department; and with the Development Office. All contributions are to be made through the Development Office to ensure proper reporting and thanks.

If you use any forum, any social media or almost any place where boxing fans can join each other to share an opinion you would assume that the fight game is on it's last legs. You would, if you listened to those supposed fans, believe that by 2016 there will be no professional boxing, fan numbers will have bottomed out to the point where running shows is no longer profitable, where TV figures will have dissipated to the point of extinction and where a fight fan will only be tuning in to see either MMA or professional wrestling in the hopes of getting their kicks from a boxing substitute.
Those fans are misguided and often less fans of the sport and more interested in hypothetical matches rather than what fights we actually get. They are, in many ways, ignorant of the sport at large and sadly stuck within the confines of fights shown on HBO and Showtime. We know the biggest names in the sport fight on those networks, we know that those networks cover Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, Gennady Golovkin, Saul Canelo Alvarez, Amir Khan and other big names. They cover the "big fights" and spend the lavish sums of money on advertising and purses so large that they sums dwarf what an average person can make in decade. We know they are the "big boys" of entertainment. But we also know that the big fights aren't often the best, we know that the fans complaining about the lack of great fights sadly aren't aware of them and most importantly they aren't being given a chance to see what they want to see because the networks are too busy pushing their agenda's for a quick buck rather than giving people what they want with a longer term pay-off.
If you follow us on social media (@Asianboxing) you'll be aware that we have spent a lot of time trying to alert people to the fights fought in the way fans claim they want to see fights fought.
For the fans wanting to see all action brawls we've pushed fights like the recent Kongfah Nakornluang/Dan Baansuan Samlansaraburi contest. The fight was a low profile contest, of course it was, but it was also an all action war that resembled the bouts of yore. It may not have had an all action-legend of the sport like Ray Mancini or Arturo Gatti involved but it had the spirit of those two men in there. It may have only been a 4 rounder, strangely fought with 2 minute rounds, but it had the air of two men wanting to fight to become known. It was an opportunity for both men to be spoken about and watched and it was an opportunity that both men wanted to take.
We know that fans may view that bout as a one off, a freak occurrence if you will. We know there are tons of fights in Thailand every month and we don't always get one like that. However in the scope of boxing we do get fights like that on a regular basis.
With in 48 hours of the Kongfah/Samlansaraburi fight we had seen two other great bouts, as in genuinely great bouts. One of those was an all Mexican affair as Javier Mendoza took on Raul Hirales Garcia for the IBF Light Flyweight title. On paper this looked great and turned out to be genuinely sensational. It was however over-shadowed by another bout on the same card, the bout between Terdsak Kokietgym and Orlando Salido.
The Terdsak/Salido bout had knockdowns, it had violence, it had momentum shifts and it was as viewer friendly bout as you will see this year. For fans wanting to see fighters fight this was perfect. This saw fighters giving their own, coming back from adversity to fight, both had to show their warrior spirit and both had to bite down on the gum shield to just survive bout. It was thrilling.
Like the Kongfah/Samlansaraburi many fans missed out on the live action as the bout wasn't broadcast on the big 2 channels. Those fans may have seen it since but they missed out on the heat of the action feel that live fights generate. The buzz after the fight was great but just imagine if that fight had the live viewers it deserved, we'd have been talking about that for a very long time.
As for fighters not fighting the best and not fighting for glory, that certainly appears to be the case if you follow only the American and British coverage of the sport. We've all seen some of the horror shows such Danny Garcia Vs Rod Salka, a bout not fit for sparring never mind a live premium network slot. However outside of the US there are fighters fighting for honour, glove and the fans.
This was shown wonderfully well in the recent WBC Flyweight title bout between Akira Yaegashi and Roman Gonzalez. Gonzalez, in some ways, is similar to Gennady Golovkin and Keith Thurman in that he is high risk and relatively low reward. He is seen as the ultimate lower weight fighter and everyone who follows the lower weights knows how good he is. Before the fight Yaegashi knew how good Gonzalez was and instead of vacating his belt, hello Peter Quillin, to avoid his mandatory Yaegashi took on Gonzalez in the centre of the ring and waged war with the Nicaraguan destroyer.
As a result we ended up with a bout that combined bravery, skill, power and action. The perfect ingredients for a great fight, albeit one that was slightly one sided to be a true FOTY contender.
Whilst it's easy enough to look at the Yaegashi/Gonzalez bout and say "well that was a mandatory, don't bring Quillin into it" it's also been at the lower level that we've seen fighters taking risks in the hope of getting some attention at a young age. This has been obvious in Japan with the likes of Naoya Inoue, who fought Adrian Hernandez in his 6th professional bout, Takuma Inoue, who fought then then world ranked Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr in his second bout, Kenshiro Teraji, who fought Heri Amol on debut and Japanese prospect Shohei Omori, who fought former world title contender Christian Esquivel in his break out win.
For us however the fight that saw a man stepping up to the plate the most was actually in Thailand where the 17 year old novice Stamp Kiatniwat took on veteran Kwanthai Sithmorseng. Sithmorseng entered the bout as a former world champion with an incredible 46-2-1 record, Stamp was 8-0. Unlike the Japanese prospects, who we have continually heaped with praise, this one came out of the blue and genuinely shocked us given that Stamp's team seem to know they have an ultra-talented young fighter on their hands. On paper this was a huge step up and the way Stamp fought was really great and very impressive putting us an alert as to how good he really could be. We don't suspect he'll be rushed to a world title but the potential really is there.
Also, before we finish, we would like to give a massive thank you to the channels showing some of these bouts, channels like Canal 4 Nicaragua, Channel 11 Thailand, Fuji TV, Channel 7 Thailand and BeIN Sports Espanol. We would also like to thank those fans who have recorded bouts from ringside and Channel Gushiken. These are all the people who are helping to show off the great fights that many seem to think have become an endangered species. HBO and Showtime may boast the biggest pockets buyt they certainly don't boast the best fights.

Back from a trip down to Gansbaai (lit.: Goose Bay) -- formerly a whaling village on the Aghulas Plain, now a tourist destination for possibly the best whale-viewing in the world. (Whales usually arrive around June and stick around until about Oct./Nov. to calf.) The occassion was a sister-in-law's 30'th Birthday Bash.
Then on to Cape Town for a family get-together for First-night Pesach and visiting good friends. Best part was that I got some brewing yeast from Franz, so I'll be able to get back into homebrewing after a lapse of several years.
Hmmm.... surely if I put together an unhopped wort... then ferment... then distill... isn't that a simple Single Malt Scotch? Any experts out there?

Oscar Futures: Saving Mr. Banks Adds Some Sugar to the Best Picture Race
Is Emma Thompson its strongest contender?
Every week between now and January 16, when the nominations are announced, Vulture will consult its crystal ball to determine the changing fortunes in this year's Oscar race. Check back every Friday for our Oscar Futures column, when we'll let you in on insider gossip, confer with other awards season pundits, and track industry buzz to figure out who's up, who's down, and who's currently leading the race for a coveted Oscar nomination.
Let's check out this week's chart:
Saving Mr. Banks. After a London bow that earned good-but-not-overwhelmed reviews, Saving Mr. Banks made its stateside premiere last night in Los Angeles at the AFI Film Festival and was well-received as a potentially potent crowd-pleaser, even if the film's accuracy is already being questioned.
12 Years a Slave. Fox Searchlight is expanding the film aggressively after two weekends of semi-limited release did well enough to boost the film into the top ten. Still, there's pushback from potential viewers who simply don't want to watch a movie about suffering slaves.
David O. Russell (American Hustle). One of the Oscar season's biggest question marks is ready to reveal itself: David O. Russell is starting to show American Hustle, and he'll appear at the AFI Film Festival tonight to screen scenes from the movie. Can it change the race?
Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity). A box office behemoth like Gravity is in little danger of being forgotten, but Warner Bros. is taking no chances: The studio had an intimate cocktail party with Cuarón this week to keep awards buzz strong, and the friendly filmmaker was pretty damn delightful. Other directors wilt after months of press, voter glad-handling, and constant Q&As, but not the energetic Cuarón: "I love it!" he enthused.
Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis). NPR has the Llewyn Davis soundtrack up for streaming, and it makes sense to get this record out there early and often. If CBS Films can plant these gorgeous, Oscar Isaac-sung folk songs in voters' heads, they're more likely to remember Isaac come nomination time.
Bruce Dern (Nebraska). Quentin Tarantino is adding his muscle to Dern's Oscar campaign: He'll show up to tout Dern tomorrow night at a special AFI Fest tribute.
Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks). Thompson crashes what had been a two-woman race between Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock, delivering an irresistible arc as the wary Mary Poppins author P.L. Travers in Saving Mr. Banks that takes her from hilariously withering to genuinely heartbreaking. She's one to watch.
Naomi Watts (Diana). The Diana biopic opened to miserable reviews and bad box office, this year's son-banging drama Adore proved giggle-worthy, and the upcoming Sunlight Jr. lacks any sort of awards buzz. To put a fine point on it, Naomi Watts is not having the best year.
Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club). Dallas Buyers Club scored in limited release this weekend, and Leto's got plenty of industry support: THR's Scott Feinberg notes that Maria Bello, Peter Bogdanovich, Diane Kruger, Sarah Polley, Zoe Saldana, Uma Thurman, Marisa Tomei, and Reese Witherspoon have all hosted Dallas Buyers Club screenings to tout Leto.
Tom Hanks (Saving Mr. Banks). I don't think Hanks is as strong a contender as Thompson, but much like his Captain Phillips performance, this mostly mild-mannered role ends strong with a big old Oscar Moment, this one in the form of a revealing monologue. Unless American Hustle arrives with some tasty supporting performances from Bradley Cooper and Jeremy Renner, Hanks has got a good shot at being nominated.
June Squibb (Nebraska). The delightful 84-year-old actress steals the show as Bruce Dern's wife in Nebraska, and she's earning rave profiles and guesting on Girls, helmed by brand-new Academy member Lena Dunham. Savvy!
Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine). Cate Blanchett's titanic Blue Jasmine performance endures several months later, but where is the lingering love for Hawkins, who's every bit her heartbreaking match? Sony Pictures Classics, please do right by Hawkins and start a push before this category gets too crowded.

Somewhere lurking out there is a Right-Wing Extremist who, decades ago, foresaw the possibility that Elizabeth Warren would be a rising Democrat star – their only hope to unseat a Republican and hold on to the majority in the U.S. Senate. The plot was a dastardly one, and this Right-Wing Extremist executed it perfectly. In the dead of night, he would sneak into Little Lizzie's room and whisper over and over in her delicate ear: You're Cherokee. You're Cherokee. You're Cherokee.
Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren appears to be cracking under the strain of a scandal that she alone is responsible for bringing down upon her flailing campaign. For it was Elizabeth Warren who ran around for decades pretending to be something she apparently isn't: a "woman of color," specifically, part Cherokee.
Even though the corrupt media is downplaying this story as much as it can, New Media (and admittedly some legacy media) have continued to dig for and report the truth, which is obviously becoming more pressure than Warren can handle.
In a bizarre statement released by the Warren Camp yesterday, rather than come clean about her heritage or even agree to meet with Cherokee activists who have requested a meeting with her, Warren lashed out and blamed a solitary "right-wing extremist" for all her woes:
The people of Massachusetts are concerned about their jobs, the future for their kids, and the security of their retirement. Scott Brown would rather talk about anything else. The out-of-state group in question is being promoted and supported by a right wing extremist who is on the record supporting and contributing money to Scott Brown. It is past time we moved on to the important issues facing middle class families in Massachusetts – even if Scott Brown won't.
As much as I would like to be the "right-wing extremist" to which she refers (after all, that's what my business cards say), apparently the right-wing extremist in question is widely-respected conservative blogger William A. Jacobson, a Associate Clinical Professor at Cornell Law School:
The Warren statement does not identify the "right wing extremist," but her campaign has been feeding my name to dutiful scriveners at places such as CBS Boston, who use old information from the Brown-Coakley race[.]
The unceasing drip-drip-drip of this scandal continues to haunt Warren. Just as she makes one explanation, another stubborn fact appears to contradict what she's said or at least make clear that her explanation isn't the half of it.
Now a group of four Cherokee women have traveled to Massachusetts to meet with Ms. Warren – something the Democrat star has thus far refused to do. What's extraordinary about Warren's refusal is that she's either snubbing "her own people" or snubbing those she has legitimately offended by assuming their identity in order to enjoy the benefits our misguided nation offers to those who preen as members of an oppressed minority.
Unfortunately for Ms. Warren, it is not 2008 anymore, and until she clears up the record and apologizes to those who might deserve an apology, New Media will continue to do the job the corrupt media won't.
I also suspect these Cherokee women are not going anyplace and will continue to bring attention to the scandal at the very affordable price of a hotel room.
Ms. Warren has apparently forgotten that the cover up is worse than the crime. For her sake, she hopefully will remember that a public meltdown is worse than just fessing up and getting it over with. Though from the sounds of it, it might be too late.

Study finds home healthcare settings have many unsafe conditions
More than 700 home healthcare RNs in New York City responded to the Columbia University survey. Hazardous conditions identified in the survey included animal hair, excessive dust, mold, cigarette smoke and dampness. Rat, mouse or other vermin sightings were also reported. Poor housekeeping, which could increase the risk of infection, was also a common observation. Nearly 70% of home healthcare patients are 65 years or older, according to the report.
A total of 44% of RNs reported that their patients live in urban settings, and 40% of nurses reported feeling threatened or uncomfortable by a patient's neighborhood. The report appears in the Journal of Patient Safety, and was co-funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
There is little information on patient and provider safety in the home healthcare setting, despite the increased demand for services in the home, researchers say. A recent report found that Medicaid funding for home- and community-based services is on the rise, while nursing home population levels have remained static in recent years (McKnight's, 3/3).

Filterstorm 4, Annie Leibovitz and more iPhone lenses!!!
Hey there,
Yahoo! The recent update to Filterstorm now adds layers! The main reason I use Photoforge2 is because of the layers, now I have a second option. Filterstorm 4 has lots of great features including opacity and blending modes with each layer. The masking tool works really well and you can switch tools while masking including the move tool so it's much easier than Photoforge2. I will be playing with it to explore all the new features.
What does Annie Leibovitz think about the iPhone camera? I thought I would throw this in here just for fun :-)
And here is an image I made the other night. It's a detail shot from a bottle of tequila I bought in Mexico this summer. Imagine if I had a macro lens for the iPhone.
I had a post a while back where I talked about different iPhone lenses that were available. Since then there have been a few more on the market;
- Holga has this new contraption, only $25 but looks pretty odd!
- PhotoJoJo has added a second model for serious iPhoneographers, expensive at $249 and looks really bulky.
- There was another one I saw recently but can't find it now.
Thanks for reading, Patrick

California Fire Insurance For Homes Near Brush and Wild Fire Areas
California residents that are buying or own property near brush or in wild fire zones may find it difficult to get home insurance.
Einhorn Insurance insures homes, condos, townhomes, renters, landlords and rental units in high brush and wild fire areas. We also specialize in escrow closings with properties in high brush regions and work directly with your lender and escrow officer to make sure your escrow closes on time.
Watch the Short Video Below for More Brush Fire Insurance Info
About 40 years ago, a large fire was considered to be about 15,000 acres. Today, it's not unusual for a fire to be over 100,000 acres. Thanks to wild fires, global warming and arson, fire season is year round, causing insurance companies to reassess which homes they'll insure. Once an insurance company identifies your home as a high risk location, you may be denied coverage or your policy may be canceled; this can happen regardless of how long you've been insured with the same company.
Californians living in high fire areas are especially aware of the risk if their homes are close to brush. While most insurance carriers won't insure your property if you're within 2500 feet of canyons, brush or a wild fire area; Einhorn Insurance can insure most homes that have 100 feet of clearance to brush.
So how do insurance companies define "BRUSH"?
Brush is any live or dead bushes, shrubs, thicket, trees or other vegetation near your home or property. This brush can potentially light on fire, burn and/or fuel a wildfire.
Vegetation or trees growing in thick bundles (especially low to the ground) are more of a threat as a fire source. Piles of dead yard debris, tree branches, dried grass, etc. are also considered uncleared brush.
If you have a yard full of manicured vegetation, this is not usually a concern unless the greenery is touching the home, roof or hanging within 3 feet over the roof.
In addition to fire hazardous brush, other variables are taken into consideration when determining if your home is located in a California high brush area.
California High Brush Area Guidelines
- Topography : Your surrounding terrain and landscape.
- Wind Patterns: Is your home located in an area where the wind patterns blow a fire toward your property?
- Distance to the nearest fire station: You may be near a fire station, but if it's a volunteer fire station, it doesn't count. You must have your assigned RESPONDING fire station within a certain distance of your property.
- Distance to a fire hydrant or water supply: It is preferred you are within 1000 feet of a fire hydrant or a large water supply system.
- Roof type: If you have a wood roof and are located in a high brush area, this can be an issue for most insurance carriers.
- PPC (Public Protection Classification): This is a rating from 1-10 (10 = very high fire risk).
- FireLine score: The ISO looks at surrounding fuel or brush, the slope of your home and the ability to access your property at the time of a fire.
Was Your Fire Policy Cancelled?
If you are cancelled or non-renewed by your insurance company, it's important to find home insurance quickly. Once cancelled, your lender is notified. At that time, you must immediately find another policy, or you'll be stuck with "force placed insurance" where your lender purchases insurance on your behalf. Force placed insurance can be VERY EXPENSIVE. One of our client's rates jumped from $150/mo to $900/mo with force placed insurance. After calling Einhorn Insurance, we were able to issue a policy for about $130/mo.
Before you call the California Fair Plan or your lender buys you Force Placed Insurance, call Einhorn Insurance! These policies provide limited coverage and are usually only Actual Cash Value policies (you are only compensated for the depreciated value of your home) while Einhorn Insurance offers a comprehensive policy with Replacement Cost coverage.
Fire Prevention Kit
Einhorn Insurance offers FREE Fire Prevention Kits which include:
- A booklet where you can keep a record of all your personal property.
- A checklist that gives you tips on how to protect your home from fires.
- An instructional DVD discussing causes of fire and fire prevention.
Einhorn Insurance Gives Back
If you are a San Diego home owner in a hazardous brush zone and insure your property with Einhorn Insurance, we will donate a lunch to your responding fire station in your honor. Einhorn Insurance supports those that risk their lives daily to keep our homes, families and communities safe.
For tips on how to prevent fires if you live in a high brush zone read our blog for Information About Wildfires

Benefit Features
The rising costs of health insurance and the overall running of a business has made it very difficult for business owners to make ends meet. Prepaid Plans™ helps alleviate some of that financial pressure by providing business owners with access to a nationwide network of pre-qualified attorneys that will provide you with free and discounted legal services. Members will have access to legal plan attorneys that will provide you with the following services:
Free Attorney Provided Services*:
*In certain situations, attorney liability may require plan attorneys to ask for a retainer from the member prior to providing some of the Free Legal Services.
Guaranteed Low Hourly Rate**
Plan attorneys have contracted to charge no more than $125.00 per hour, or 40% off their usual and customary hourly rate, whichever is greater, for legal care that goes beyond the free services described above. In most cases, the attorneys will be able to estimate the amount of hours any given case may consume prior to beginning work on the case.
In the case of extended legal care, plan attorneys may ask you for a retainer. Any retainer sought will be computed by multiplying the number of hours a plan attorney believes a case will take, by the appropriate discounted hourly plan rate. For instance: 10 hours x $125.00 = a retainer of $1,250.00. Any unused portion of the retainer will be returned to the member.
Contingency Fee Discounts:
Attorneys often work on a contingency fee basis on such cases as personal injury and collections. This fee is usually expressed as a percentage of the amount collected or awarded. In collection matters, your attorney will accept 18% if the case is settled before formal court proceedings begin. After proceedings begin, the fee is 27%. On all other contingency matters there is a 10% discount on the lower of either the state maximum or the attorney's standard rate.
**Court costs, filing fees and time charged for travel to and from any courts are additional.
When to Use an Attorney
The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision. Before hiring the lawyer to whom you may be referred, ask the attorney for written information about the lawyer's qualifications and experience.

Production systems can be traced back to the pandemonium model of Selfridge, in which many demons observe a body of data; each responds when it sees the particular pattern in the data that it is looking for. The model is inherently highly parallel; it is intended to model the way the brain achieves intelligent and rapid responses to new information using relatively slow components.
A production system has two memories:

Police: Man kills mother, then himself
Police: Man kills mother, then himself
WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A York County man shot and killed his mother and then himself on Thursday in a Warrington Township home, according to police.
Police said Don Cassell, 56, used a shotgun to kill his mother, 79-year-old Shirley West-Heaser, and then turned the gun on himself inside the home on Rocky Wood Lane. Officials said they do not have a motive.
Police said Cassell's wife called 911 after hearing shots. She was not hurt.
"Right now, the next step in the investigation, is talking to the wife, seeing the details she knows, talking to neighbors and just going from there," said Pennsylvania State Trooper Rob Hicks.
The York County coroner said autopsies will not be performed.

INDOT's Office of Traffic Safety administers safety programs that strive to meet state and federal safety goals. Traffic Safety works to reduce the frequency and severity of severe crashes on both the state highway system and local roads.
To report a concern about traffic lights on a state road or highway please call your district customer service center:
Improving highway safety is vital to the health and well-being of every Hoosier. According to the Centers for Disease Control, motor vehicle-related injuries are the leading cause of unintentional death for people in the United States.
Looking beyond the personal tragedy of death and injury, healthcare costs and lost productivity due to traffic crashes contribute to a significant economic loss annually. The annual cost of Indiana traffic crashes is calculated in the billion dollars.
Indiana's Strategic Highway Safety Plan , as required by title 23 U.S.C. § 148, identifies critical highway safety problems and opportunities for saving lives, reducing suffering, and economic losses resulting from traffic crashes. It also serves to coordinate the traffic safety activities of state agencies, municipal entities and private highway safety organizations. Indiana continually evaluates and periodically revises the SHSP.
The SHSP documents coordination of purpose, common data sources, cooperative problem identification, emphasis areas, and partnerships. The lead state agencies evaluate implementation action plans annually as part of federally required highway safety action plans and reports.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program goal is to achieve a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads through the implementation of infrastructure-related highway safety improvements. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST) continues and refines the HSIP.
Detailed provisions pertaining to the HSIP, such as qualifying projects and federal funding share, are defined in Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code (23 USC 148).
To ensure that application of the HSIP is organized and systematic providing the greatest benefits to safety, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has established a formalized HSIP process that consists of three major components: planning, implementation and evaluation. These requirements are contained in Part 924, Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 924).
Local governments should be aware of the requirements that must be met when applying for HSIP funding for local projects. INDOT has prepared a guidance document for local public agencies outlining how they can participate in the HSIP. It is essential that public agencies planning to apply for this funding read and understand the guidance before beginning the project application process.
Section 130 is the common name for the federal highway-rail grade crossing safety improvement fund, which is a special set-aside component of the HSIP. This is of particular importance in Indiana, which has more at grade public rail-highway crossings than all but four other states. The Section 130 program identifies and upgrades safety devices at the at grade public rail-highway crossings in Indiana most at risk for crashes with road users.
However, more than half of the at grade public crossings already have train activated warning devices and too often motorists pay little or no attention or blatantly disregard warning devices at highway-rail crossings. Motorists may drive across rail crossings day after day and rarely see a train only to be surprised when encountering one. Many deadly highway-rail accidents could be avoided if drivers would follow the posted warning devices. In the case of a crossing marked only with crossbucks and a yield or stop sign, slow or stop and look both ways before driving over a rail crossing.
To report a concern about traffic lights on a state road or highway please call your district customer service center:

Arsenal is back on track after 2 straight defeats in the Premier League at the hands of Manchester United and Swansea. In mid-week they defeated a crisis-struck Dortmund in the Champions League and this Saturday Arsene Wenger's lads grabbed three points at the Hawthornes. West Brom away is not the easiest of matches but Arsenal was dominant. However, they took their sweet time before Dat Guy Welbs headed home the winner. Berahino came close to snagging a point, but his header off Gamboa's cross ricocheted off the bar.
And wouldn't you know, even Liverpool won this weekend! Even more surprising was the sacrifice shown by whipping boy Glen Johnson as he headed home a rebound. Liverpool was pretty unspectacular and Bojan could well have sent Stoke ahead, but his shot cannoned back off the post. Liverpool face Leicester away tomorrow and will have to put in an effort to get anything from that game.
Joe Cole had a brilliant game on the Villa midfield against newcomer Burnley. His goal was not enough to secure the victory as Danish defender Okore brought down Jutkiewicz and red hot Danny Ings converted the penalty with ease. Piping hot as well as always is the latest Guts sports promotion. Don't miss out!
Swansea only managed a draw at home against Crystal Palace, despite Gylfi Sigurdsson's best efforts. West Ham beat Newcastle and QPR grabbed a win at home against Leicester, much thanks to Charlie Austin. Manchester United dismantled a very poor Hull at Old Trafford as the Tigers gave away three goals, not taking away anything from top-class finishing by Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.
Sunderland managed to stop the Chelsea-train, holding the would-be champions to a goalless draw. Connor Wickham and Adam Johnson even had chances to steal the victory, but they lacked a finishing touch.
On Sunday, Tottenham beat Everton thanks to a Danish rebound and a rare goal by Soldado. Kevin Mirallas gave Everton the lead with a screamer, but Spurs turned it around before half time. Earlier that day Manchester City pulverized Southampton by 3 goals to nil. Saints failed their first big test after their stunning opening to the season and Arsenal away on Wednesday might see Koeman's men struggling again.
The Premier League continues tomorrow and we'll even sort out who's Manager of the Month in November in our Guts Gaming Fantasy League. Stay tuned!

Home for good?
I've been back in Adelaide for eight months now and good things are happening. I've moved from working in emergency services to environmental governance. I'm still doing some public speaking, for example being on a panel for the Australian Conservation Foundation's preview screening of An Inconvenient Sequel this week.
I'm doing my final PhD revisions, following positive reviews. I've completed yoga teacher training, which has deepened my practice – but I won't commit to any teaching until I graduate from my PhD! That's my priority right now.
Adelaide is one of the world's most livable cities. South Australia is on track to have the world's largest battery for storing renewable energy from solar and wind power. My family are here. However as Paul Kelly has said, you have to leave Adelaide to appreciate it.
I'm appreciating it now.
Home for the holidays, working
I've returned to my home city of Adelaide to work in emergency services, building on my international experience in disaster response and risk reduction, as well as postgraduate studies in health promotion and science communication. I'm doing communications work for the CFS, South Australia's community-based fire, rescue and emergency service. Also the agency with what I think are the best emergency planning & response maps in the state!
I was anticipating trading cyclone season in Vanuatu for bushfire season in Australia, though it's not been such a clear trade. While I have been responding to plenty of bushfires, I've also been responding to floods and storm damage, which brings to my mind this famous Australian poem I learnt in primary school.
Working for the CFS is my first role directly in government, which has involved training in emergency response protocols and operational duties in emergency situations. I've also been trained as a firefighter! I've enjoyed learning more about the physics of water pumps and climate science of bushfires. Given the CFS depends on the work of more than 13,000 volunteer emergency responders, this role builds on my experience working with volunteers and training in psychological first aid.
Last month I also popped over to the US capital city of Washington to participate in OpenCon, thanks to a travel grant from the Wikimedia Foundation and SPARC. It was a long trip, but turned out to be worthwhile for meeting so many inspiring people and participating in new projects like the beta of SocArxiv.
I also submitted my PhD in October, finally!
Who knew that my experiences in science communication, technology, media, human rights, sustainable development and participatory theatre would combine for an assignment in the South Pacific?
Last month I arrived in Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu, to be a digital trainer with Wan Smolbag Theatre. Wan Smolbag is core funded by Oxfam, NZ Aid and Australian Aid. It began more than 25 years ago touring Pacific islands with one small bag of costumes, making participatory theatre for health promotion. It has expanded massively, now also coordinating a turtle monitoring network, reproductive health clinics, youth and nutrition centres, sports programs, disaster preparedness, health and environment resources and waste management projects.
It's refreshing getting back into grassroots development after my work in Melbourne and Geneva over the past couple of years. It's also fantastic to enjoy life by the ocean again – during high school I worked at my local surf shop. Vanuatu's opportunities for surfing, kayaking and diving as well as fantastic tropical fruits make it a place I'm happy to live.
I'm continuing to do research and writing in science communication and health promotion with universities in Australia. I'm aiming to do digital training here related to a range of organizations I've been involved with in the past, including OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia and Mozilla. Firstly though I'm focused on local needs and interests. For example, I'm helping with World Oceans Day activities next week. This week I'm travelling around the island of Efate documenting Healthforce, the health promotion theatre group, and Rainbow disability theatre. Most digital work I'm supporting at the moment is making publications including comic books and posters about health and environmental issues, written in Bislama and focused on visual communication for island communities.
Green Fringe
Last fortnight I was part of Research Bazaar at the University of Melbourne, but for most of February and March I'll be at the Adelaide Fringe Festival! I'll be present in ephemeral Fringe places starting with the opening parade. I'll be performing in the National Maestro Impro Games on 20th February then MCing the Wilderness Society Green Roast Comedy Gala on March 5. Come along!
life in semesters
Somehow I'm now embedded in life at the University of Melbourne despite subsisting, like many early career researchers, on a variety of tenuous contracts. I am learning about course coordination and teaching from the inspiring Kathryn Williams tutoring the Masters course Interdisciplinarity and the Environment, as well as tutoring an undergraduate course in the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health. Academic teaching is relatively new for me so I'm investing a lot of time and energy in this learning.
I'm continuing technology development work with Research Platforms particularly on Figshare. My work with Melbourne Law School recently has included creating this infographic of international forestry laws.
As an early career researcher, I'll soon be going to Sydney to present about rethinking law, economy and environment at an interdisciplinary workshop at UNSW. Then I'll be returning to Melbourne where I'm presenting in the Centre for Media and Communications Law conference in November in collaboration with Florence Seow.
All of this has left me little time for creative projects outside of academia, though I have been fitting in training with Impro Melbourne and performing at Club Voltaire occasionally. I also presented at Laborastory on Mabo Day, and celebrated the 150th anniversary of Alice in Wonderland at Carlton Connect. My next comedy show is likely to be around Halloween.
Back in Australia
This is a quick note to report that I've moved back to Austalia to work for the Royal Institution of Australia, as Science in society facilitator, with funding from the Australian Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research. My role is about implementing the Inspiring Austalia strategy at the state level, working with the South Australian Department of Further Education, Employment, Science and Technology.
I'm still researching participatory science and policy processes for my PhD at ANU, details of which are here: http://cpas.anu.edu.au/person/cobi-smith
For the moment the best way to keep track of what I'm working on is probably via Twitter.
Translation: a quarter of laptops distributed through the One Laptop Per Child program in Uruguay aren't working
One in four laptops given for free by the government of Uruguay to all public school students two years ago is either broken, under repair, stolen or has crashed, according to an official report published in July.
In 2008 Uruguay was the first country in the world to implement the One Laptop Per Child program, created by US scientist Nicholas Negroponte.
The program aimed to provide every child in the developing world with a laptop for educational purposes, at an affordable price.
With this objective the Uruguayan government created 'Plan Ceibal', which between 2008-2009 gave laptops to 380,000 children between 6 and 12 years of age who were enrolled in the country's public schools.
Now the government has completed a survey to check the condition of the laptops, which has found that 27.4 percent are out of operation for different reasons.
According to the survey 14.2 percent of the laptops are broken; 6.2 percent are being repaired; 3.9 percent are frozen or crashed; one percent have been stolen; and the states of 3.1 percent are unknown.
In the country's interior, where the laptops were first distributed in 2008, 29.9 percent of the laptops aren't working. In Montevideo, the capital, 19.6 percent aren't working, but children there received the laptops a year later in 2009.
The percentage of broken laptops in poor areas is higher, where only 66.3 percent are working. In more favourable environments the percentage reaches 83.5 percent.
"A significant number of faults were expected, but not this many. This discovery means that we're revising aspects of the plan's operation and coming up with measures to lower that number," Fernando Brum, director of Plan Ceibal, told SciDev.Net.
Among the measures include a call centre to help users with broken laptops, mobile repair services to work in schools, and ways to reduce the cost of repairs.
Workshops for parents and teachers on how to look after the laptops have also been organised.
"We should keep in mind that 2010 is the first year that Plan Ceibal is operating across the whole country. We're still gaining experience and problem solving; reducing the number of laptops that are out of service is one of our primary objectives," concluded Brum.
You can read about the report in Spanish on the Plan Ceibal site.
This is my translation of a story written by Daniela Hirschfeld on the Science and Development Network, "Uruguay: cuarta parte de portátiles del OLPC no funciona", published on August 11, 2010. You can read the original in Spanish here.

WATCH: Lee Min Ho shares some thoughts at the start of his tour
Lee Min Ho's 2014 tour is about to begin in Beijing on October 4. There's been a heightened sense of anticipation and monitoring of Lee Min Ho's every move. He just flew into Beijing, and fans were admiring the checkered shirt he wore at the airport. Here is the latest video from his press conference on October 3. Let's hear what LMH himself said about his tour and future plans while looking very handsome wearing a white shirt.
Seeing the pretty shirt that Lee Min Ho wore at the airport, a fan (mtdt) quickly posted that it is a "Houndstooth check shirt from AMI ALEXANDRE MATTIUSSI"
Because this video is a news report intermixed with narration and interpretation, I will just focus on what our man said and only list the time marks for when he was talking.
Watch Lee Je Hoon bring the tragic true story of Crown Prince Sado to life in historical drama Secret Door
00:38 - 01:08 Regarding the tour:
Lee Min Ho says he will be singing 5 new songs in Beijing but also apologizes that he will not be singing any songs in Chinese. Due to time constraints, he has not been able to prepare for singing Chinese songs. He promises he will sing Chinese songs next year.
01:29 - 01:40
He adds that when he was preparing for the tour, he thought about whether it would be better to include "Can't Help But Fall For You," the song he sang with Harlem Yu at the Chinese Spring Festival Gala. (Watch him sing HERE.)
02:15 - 03:10 Regarding Gangnam Blues and his future plans:
LMH asks fans to expect a new and breakthrough image for him in Gangnam Blues. He wants to continue to expand his roles in movies. As for TV dramas, he wants to play roles with a bright and sunny personality. He continues to review scripts and hopes to repay his fans with more and better work.
If any Minoz are reading this article, which brand of shoes was he wearing at the press conference?
As for Oppa, I hope he gets a good night's sleep and wows his audience in Beijing. And to all the Minoz, fighting!

I always had a passion for good sound quality. It started in my early years. I was listening to music either on my way to school, while sitting in the bus or on the train, where you just get the chance to sit back and relax and listen to some really good music through great earphones.

Course Planning Suggestions for Majors
If you are considering the major, you are encouraged to begin your coursework with any 100-level course or a 200-level course that has no pre-requisites, or with a short-term unit within the Department of Sociology. As soon as possible, students seriously considering the major should take Soc. 204, Theoretical Foundations, as this course is a pre-requisite or co-requisite for Soc. 205, Research Methods for Sociology. Both Soc. 204 and Soc. 205 are pre-requisites for the required Junior-Senior Research Seminars (Soc. 395). An ideal sequence of courses would include one or two 100 or 200-level electives, followed by Soc. 204, and then Soc. 205. Soc. 204 and 205 can be taken as early as the first year, and should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Unless a student studies abroad for the entire junior year, they should try to take at least one Junior-Senior Research Seminar (Soc. 395) during the junior year, as one of these seminars is a pre-requisite for Senior Thesis (Soc. 457 or 458). Soc. 405, Senior Capstone for Sociology, should be taken in the fall of senior year.
The Department Chair or any other department faculty member will be happy to discuss the options and help you figure out how to complete the major while also meeting your other educational goals. The Department Chair also maintains a two to three year teaching plan for all Department faculty, and therefore can offer advice about what particular courses are likely to be taught in what semesters.
How to Declare the Major
You can declare the major using the online process available through Garnet Gateway. If you know a faculty member in the Department whom you would like to have as your major advisor, you can ask that person first or just let the Department Chair know when you come in to see them. If you are not sure who you would like to have as your advisor within the Department, the Department Chair can help you select an advisor.

Myanmar refugee crisis
"They came with nothing but the clothes they were wearing. They have nowhere else to go."
Fleeing from violence in Myanmar's northern Rakhine State, more than 670,000 refugees have crossed the border to Bangladesh. Many of them have suffered severe trauma from violent attacks on their villages and families, and nearly all of them are relying on humanitarian assistance to help to meet their basic needs.
- Read our July 2018 update on the current situation in the refugee camps, and how CARE is helping:
CARE Factsheet Myanmar Refugee Crisis 18.07.2018
Watch this video presented by Mahbubur Rahman, senior team leader, CARE Bangladesh, describing the support that CARE is providing to refugees in Potibunia camp in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, and how CARE helped people prepare for the monsoon rains. Filmed April 2018 just before the rains started.
Syed Alom, a refugee from Myanmar interviewed in the above video, said:
When we came here for fear of our lives we had nowhere to go. People of CARE looked after us. When they saw we had no place to live,they gave us shelters. Now they give us more bamboo, tarpaulin, to make our houses stronger.
When the crisis began in August 2017, CARE, working with a local NGO partner, started immediate relief activities, including distributing food to families in need. Since then we have been supporting health clinics assessing and treating children suffering from acute malnutrition, and have set up four health centres in different refugee camps. We are also helping with the coordination and management of refugee camps; and developing programmes to protect and support survivors of gender-based violence.
Families fleeing from violence arrived with nothing: no shelter, no food, no belongings.
Huge numbers of people are crowded into makeshift shelters in the refugee settlements. The settlements are huge, stretching as far as the eye can see.
As well as shelter, people badly need health services. Nearly 100,000 refugees including children are currently suffering from fever and diarrhoeal diseases. People do not have proper access to sanitation facilities and safe drinking water, which poses a major health risk for refugees. We are also concerned about the risks – particularly for women and girls – of further violence, including gender-based violence.
Thanks to your support, we have already achieved a great deal: read more in this update from CARE Bangladesh (PDF). But the scale of this crisis means that much more help is needed.
Please donate now so we can bring life-saving help to desperate women, children and families.
- The crisis in brief
An escalation of violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state in late August 2017 led to vast numbers of people fleeing across the border into Bangladesh in a desperate search for safety. Most of the refugees are women, children and small babies.
More than 600,000 people are staying in host communities, existing refugee camps, new makeshift settlements or camps, or just wherever they can find space.
Most are reliant on humanitarian assistance to meet their basic daily needs. More than 400,000 people require support to meet their food needs, while an estimated 125,000 pregnant and lactating women and children under 5 will need supplementary feeding.
This is a massive influx of people into a relatively small area near Cox's Bazar in southeast Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh and local authorities are working hard to meet the needs of the refugees, while local Bangladeshi families, with few resources themselves, have been assisting refugees where they can. CARE has been on the ground since the early days of the crisis, and with other humanitarian agencies we are continuing to work to meet the immense level of need.
- CARE's response
CARE Bangladesh's emergency team is working in Cox's Bazar district, where most refugees have sought shelter. Our team is distributing cooked meals and dry food as well as essential items that families need: candles; matches; clothes; blankets and utensils.
We are distributing the materials people need to build emergency shelters like tarp, bamboo and rope.
We are creating women and adolescent-friendly spaces and providing counselling and a referral service for survivors of gender-based violence.
We are supporting local partners to deliver community-based assessment and treatment of acute malnutrition.
We are assisting with refugee camp management and the coordination of emergency responses in the refugee camps.
Working closely with local authorities and local and international partners we will continue to scale up our response in the areas of food and nutrition, shelter, health, gender-based violence support and protection, water, sanitation and hygiene, and camp management.
Between Sept 2017 and March 2018, CARE reached nearly 200,000 people through distribution of food and non-food items, shelter kits, hygiene and dignity kits, and services for health, protection and management of gender-based violence. In addition, as part of a consortium, we have worked with more than 180,000 children with malnutrition.
By the end of 2018, CARE aims to reach 600,000 people, including refugees and host communities.
Please donate and send real help now to refugee families in Bangladesh.

Canberra Patient's First Test Results Negative
ACT Health ACT Acting Chief Health Officer Dr Andrew Pengilley this morning said the first Ebola test conducted on a female patient at Canberra Hospital has returned a negative result.
"This is the first of two tests that are undertaken as part of the Ebola protocols followed by ACT Health. The next will be conducted tomorrow morning with the results expected on Monday (13 April).
"In addition to the good news that the first test is negative, I can also advise that overnight the patient's condition has improved.
"I would again stress to the community that we are being overly cautious, however we will be remaining vigilant until the final tests results are confirmed on Monday," Dr Pengilley said.
Today's statement follows yesterday's announcement that ACT Health today confirmed that as a precautionary measure a person who recently returned from West Africa has been admitted into the dedicated Canberra Hospital isolation ward.
The precautionary admission was a result of ACT Health's monitoring program. The medical professional who had been working in Liberia, has been undergoing monitoring since their return from overseas as required by ACT Health procedures.
As a precautionary measure ACT Health has advised family members to stay at home.
There have been no cases of Ebola Virus Disease in Australia.
The next media update will be when the tests results are received on Monday morning.
Ebola facts

- Canberra Hospital is equipped to deal with a suspected or confirmed case and is finalising comprehensive plans to ensure a high level of preparedness and response is available.
