Romney friends to testify for him
TAMPA, Fla. — Jane Edmonds is a self-described liberal Democrat, an African-American civil rights activist from Massachusetts who is very likely far from Mitt Romney on most social issues.
But that's not what she's here to talk about.
Story Continued Below
Edmonds was a Cabinet secretary under Romney when he was governor, and Thursday night she will speak on his behalf at the convention.
( Also on POLITICO: For Romney, tonight's the night)
"I didn't come here to talk about our differences — I'm not going down that path," Edmonds said in an interview. "I'm here to talk about my experiences working for him. My friends have asked me why. I adore the guy. I have seen him behind closed doors in Cabinet meetings. I have seen his compassion. I'm at a point in my life that the character of the human being we entrust to be president is important to me. He would make an excellent president."
Edmonds is a part of an eclectic lineup of speakers for Thursday night, snapshots from Romney's life, which will try to fill out the picture of his elusive personality.
Ann Romney started the process Tuesday by talking about her husband's private generosity and commitment to family. On Thursday, the convention will hear from their sons, members of their church — such as friend and church leader Grant Bennett — Olympic athletes from the games Mitt Romney headed and a few surprises, like Edmonds.
"We're his character witnesses," says oldest son Tagg Romney.
The Romney campaign appears to be traveling down two parallel roads this week as it tries to define the Republican nominee for the millions of voters it hopes are following the convention.
( Also on POLITICO: All the GOP convention speeches)
Allies and advisers — as well as Romney himself — have downplayed the view that he needs to be more likable or engaging to be elected president. Instead, they have tried to focus on his leadership and success and pushed back on calls for Romney — in the words of a Massachusetts state legislator — "to show more leg."
At the same time, they obviously see the polls showing that voters haven't embraced Romney personally, and don't see him as connected to their middle-class lives. To that end, the convention is also weaving a narrative of a compassionate, good and generous family man, whose many acts of kindness are never spoken about because he doesn't believe in boasting.

This report is based on work by our partners at FactCheck.org, a nonpartisan project of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center.
It's a theme heard at both political conventions, and a question that will be asked repeated until Americans cast their votes in November: Are you better off now than you were four years ago?
"This president can tell us it was someone else's fault," Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said at the Republican National Convention. "This president can tell us that the next four years he'll get it right. But this president cannot tell us that you're better off today than when he took office."
As Romney took center stage at last week's RNC, he made some claims about how life in America has changed for the worse under President Barack Obama's leadership. Our partners at FactCheck.org found some of those claims a bit exaggerated.
Romney's statement: "In the richest country in the history of the world, this Obama economy has crushed the middle class. Family income has fallen by $4,000 ..."
FactCheck.org's Deputy Editor Robert Farley: "That's a statistic that begins at the start of the recession in December 2007. That's 13 months before Obama took office. So a portion of that didn't happen while he was president."
Romney continued to point out how the Obama Administration has hurt your wallet.
Romney: "...But health insurance premiums are higher, food prices are higher, utility bills are higher, and gasoline prices have doubled."
FactCheck.org's Farley: "It's true that gas prices have doubled. They were about $1.89 when Obama took office. And they're about $3.84 last week. That $1.89 price was significantly depressed, unusually depressed, because of the recession and financial crisis."
Back in 2008, that average price -- for all grades of gasoline -- was over $4 a gallon for seven weeks. It bounced back to that level for three weeks last year, but hasn't been that high since.
Here's what Romney had to say at the RNC about the state of poverty in the U.S.
Romney: "Today more Americans wake up in poverty than ever before. Nearly one out of six Americans is living in poverty. Look around you. These are not strangers. These are our brothers and sisters, our fellow Americans."
Putting this into context, the number of people in poverty is very high at 46 million. But there are also more Americans.
Farley: "The more relevant data is the poverty rate. And the poverty rate of 15.1% -- that's high -- but it's certainly not the highest ever."
In fact, the rate was seven points higher in 1959, when the government started keeping track.
Our partners at FactCheck are closely monitoring this week's Democratic National Convention, and we will bring you a full report on the accuracy of President Obama's speech.

RV Education 101
It's that time of year again — time to load the motorhome, hitch-up the towed vehicle and just RV it. It's always exciting to hit the open road and see what adventures await.
If it has been awhile since you last prepped your motorhome for a road trip, I'd like to remind you of some motorhome weight issues that, when overlooked, can affect your RV travels.
1. We'll start with one of my favorites, checking tire inflation pressure. When your RV sits in storage the tires lose inflation pressure each month. If proper tire pressure is not maintained, based on the load on a tire, it can result in fast tread wear, uneven wear, poor handling, and excessive heat buildup, which can lead to tire failure. Tire manufacturers publish load and inflation tables that should be followed for proper tire inflation pressure.
2. Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). This weight rating is one of the most crucial safety factors concerning your motorhome. The GVWR is the maximum allowable weight of the motorhome when it is fully loaded for travel. When you exceed the GVWR you risk component failure, which can result in an untimely breakdown or worse. The only way to know if you are exceeding any weight rating is to have the fully loaded motorhome weighed.
3. Do not exceed any gross axle weight rating (GAWR). The GAWR is the maximum allowable weight that can be loaded on an axle. The GAWR is based on the component with the lowest weight rating in the system. This could be a suspension component, brake component, wheels or the tires.
On motorhomes, it's common to be within an axle weight rating, but for one end of the axle to still be overweight. When this happens there is a good possibility you are exceeding a tire weight rating or other component weight rating on the axle end that is overloaded.
When an axle end is overloaded it might be possible to redistribute some weight to correct the problem. To avoid an axle end being overloaded, even though the axle itself is within the specified weight rating, weigh the motorhome at scales where individual wheel positions can be weighed, too.
4. Do not exceed the hitch receiver weight rating. Your motorhome may have a tow rating of 5,000 pounds, but if the hitch receiver is only rated for 3,500, you cannot exceed the receiver's rating. This was quite common on many older motorhomes.
To accommodate the length of the box being built on the vehicle frame, manufacturers add frame rail extensions. When these frame extensions are added it can limit the amount of weight the frame can support, so a hitch receiver with a lower weight rating is installed on the frame. This lower-rated hitch receiver is often overlooked and can result in towing and safety concerns. To solve this problem it's important to check the hitch receiver's tow rating prior to towing a dinghy.
5. Do not exceed the gross combined weight rating (GCWR). This rating also affects the total amount of weight you can tow or add to your motorhome. The GCWR is the maximum allowable combined weight of the fully loaded motorhome and the fully loaded vehicle/trailer that is towed behind the motorhome.
For the sake of a simple example, let's say your motorhome has a GCWR of 26,000 pounds and a GVWR of 20,500 pounds. In this example the max dinghy or trailer weight you could tow behind the motorhome is 5,500 pounds. Keep in mind you can only tow this amount of weight if the hitch receiver is rated for the weight.
Another problem is lots of folks don't realize how much their fully loaded dinghy actually weighs. Take the vehicle to the scales and have it weighed to make sure it can safely be towed by your motorhome.
Truth be told, many older motorhomes exceeded the GVWR when the motorhome was manufactured, before any additional weight or a dinghy was added to the equation. Again, you should weigh the motorhome to make sure you are within all weight ratings.
6. While we are on the topic of towing, the next weight consideration would be your tow bar and other components in the towing system. Every component in the system has a weight rating. This includes the tow bar, hitch ball, ball mount and safety cables. Your motorhome might be rated to tow 5,500 pounds, but if the tow bar (or other component) is rated for 5,000 pounds (or less), you cannot exceed that amount of weight.
7. Last on my list and perhaps the most controversial is the use of a supplemental braking system on the towed vehicle. In my humble opinion, the brakes on a motorhome are designed by the vehicle manufacturer to stop the weight of that particular vehicle, not the additional weight being towed behind it. This additional weight adds a substantial increase to the distance required to stop safely.
Some motorhome chassis warranties are voided if you tow amounts over 1,500 pounds (possibly less) without a supplemental braking system. When I am towing a 3,000-plus pound vehicle, I feel much better knowing I have a supplemental braking system on the towed vehicle.
Some of these weight issues are easy to overlook when we are getting ready for our next RV adventure. Of course, the only way to know if we are overweight is to take the fully loaded motorhome and towed vehicle to the scales and have them weighed.
To enhance our RV experiences and stay safe on the road, make a conscious effort to understand the weight issues we are confronted with. If you discover any overload conditions on your motorhome, resolve the issues immediately.

Miller Park ready for game after restaurant fire
Several areas sustain water damage due to overnight fire in Friday's kitchen
By Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
MILWAUKEE -- An overnight kitchen fire at one of the restaurants at Miller Park has left some parts of the ballpark damaged, but the team says "most of the operations and fan accommodations were back to normal" in time for Monday night's game against the Reds.
The fire began at around 2 a.m. CT Monday in the kitchen of Friday's Front Row Sports Grill, according to The Associated Press. It spread through a few of the nearby ducts, but was put out before any injuries or extensive damage occurred.
A few areas that sustained water damage will not be operational until further notice. They include: Friday's Restaurant, the escalators and elevators in the left-field area, the left-field loge concession stand and the Miller Park Conference Center Meeting Rooms on the club and terrace levels.
According to the team release, fans who have tickets in the Friday's seating area will be contacted by the Brewers for alternate seating options.

Cam,Actually, you may be able to just store it, and you probably don't need to can it either... at least where botulism is concerned. I'm currently using 7/11 tomato sauce, and the sanitarian confirmed that I don't need to refrigerate the sauce when serving due to the pH being lower than 4.6 (http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/Clostridium_botulinum/index.asp). I had to contact the company to request a spec sheet that showed their 7/11 sauce is canned to below 4.6 (their accepted range is 4.0-4.4) and the sanitarian was fine with us not keep our sauce cold.When it comes to other types of contamination, however, there's still a potential likelihood (per Tom) depending on what contaminants you may have around when you pour it out into containers.For the record, I keep any sauce out of the can in the fridge until the day of use, just to be safe. Even if the sanitarian says we don't need to, it just makes me feel better.
@Camaro10, you had a thread complaining about Classico tomatoes losing their flavor, and now you're talking about buying #10cans of 6 in 1's ! They're the same tomatoes as Classico's, both are grown in California and both are marketed by Heinz. If you didn't like Classico's, I can't believe you will like the 6 in 1's!
I didn't say I didn't like, I said I couldn't be the flavor to stick, it was an error on my part.
Cam;If we are talking about just opening a #10 can of sauce or tomato product and pouring it into Mason jars, then capping and storing at room temperature I would say "NO WAY" as the probability of contamination is just too great. Now, if we are talking about sterilizing the jars and heating the sauce/tomato product to above 160F and then "canning" in an accepted manner, that's a whole different story and very doable.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
So this may be a dumb question but why can't store bought sauce in jars be opened and refrigerated? Is it bc they are loaded with preservatives?
Why can****
From the Classico site FAQ'sHow long can I keep this opened jar in my fridge?Maximum 3-5 days as there are no preservatives in the sauce. Marty
@Chicago Bob, please do a little experiment for me, take one of your week old mixtures of sauce and a freshly opened can of seasoned crushed tomatoes and taste them side by side. If the week old mixture doesn't taste more bitter than the fresh one, I'll eat the can! the tin can!

Night hunting of coyotes and feral swine looked atWritten by Admin
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Hunters might soon be hunting coyote and wild swine at night with a light on private lands.
The new regulations are year-round, seven days a week. Hunting on Sundays is allowed only on private lands with archery equipment.
The new regulations are scheduled to take effect Aug. 1 pending final approval by the Rules Review Commission of the N.C. Wildlife Commission. Currently, there is no closed season on either species, but hunting them at night is not allowed except by permit for feral swine.

I could be mistaken, but I don't think PS3 supports OGL calls? PS3 does support OpenGL ES, evidently. PS3's hardware is a pretty far removed from x86 PCs though. Some of the programming is bare to metal to eek out all the performance possible.
On the CPU side, the GPU is an Nvidia 7800 (I think, I might have the wrong model number).
Most games these days are Unreal 3 engine anyways. So if Epic ports their engine to Linux, then it should be trivial to get the games to work on it.

I worked pretty hard on it, and I'm glad it was well received by some.
Second, I didn't write it to "PROVE" anything... I think the material speaks for itself, and if some people want to claim that we are "disregarding the obvious evidence in front of us about tobi being obito" such as his eye, his face, and his obvious name similarities...than I want to point out that they are just as equally ignoring and disregarding all the facts of the manga that have come before this one...like the countless chapters, author comments, and naruto characters that have labeled tobi as uchiha madara over and over again, not to mention the frequent doings of tobi that simply are not possible to link to obito. Which is, frankly, what my post was all about.
Thirdly in response to the above quoted post...this is the sort of half brained scheme that you would think up only if you hadn't actually used your brain to think about the story...
In this chapter, titled "MADARAS WORTH" (hint hint)
Danzo literally refers to Tobi as Madara, and states that his abilities are "unknown"...now dont you think that if Danzo had used a powerful genjutsu on Obito, and he knew who was behind the mask that he wouldnt have said that or felt as if Tobi/Madara was an unknown enemy?
Please use your brain to think about your theories before you post them...
Think to yourself "what is wrong with this idea? what are the flaws in it"
Then save us all the trouble of reading crap by NOT POSTING IT! :flaw:
And just to rub it in... in the next chapter...
"AS MADARA LOOKS ON FROM ABOVE..." - author kishi
So since Kishi himself has referred to Tobi being Madara about 100 times more than he has that Tobi is Obito...I'm going to go ahead and say he is still much more likely Madara than Obito...:ice:

Pence wins Heart and Hustle Award for Giants
By Chris Haft / MLB.com
SAN FRANCISCO -- Right fielder Hunter Pence, an inspirational presence since he joined the team in a July 2012 trade, was named the Giants' recipient of the Heart and Hustle Award.
The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association selects a nominee from each team and ultimately chooses a winner from among the 30 candidates who will be announced in November. The award recognizes a player's passion for the game and the way he embodies its values and tradition.
Pence gained attention, which he tried to deflect, by delivering motivational addresses to the team during last year's postseason.
"This is a tremendous honor and it's humbling to be considered for such an award," said Pence, who received his team award from community ambassador and former first baseman Will Clark before Wednesday's game.
Sandoval's back injury not serious
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval underwent an MRI on Wednesday for his sore back, which revealed no serious damage.
Manager Bruce Bochy said that Sandoval, whose ailment forced him to be scratched from Tuesday's lineup, probably will start Thursday's series opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bochy also pronounced Sandoval fit to pinch-hit Wednesday if necessary.
"We're just giving him another day to let this calm down," Bochy said.
Bochy also said that infielder Tony Abreu, whose Minor League injury rehabilitation assignment was interrupted by a mild groin injury, likely will attempt to run Thursday. If Abreu emerges from that test pain-free, he could resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Fresno on Saturday.
Pill working out at third base as insurance
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants are trying to capitalize on Brett Pill's versatility, though it might happen in an emergency situation.
Pill's natural position is first base, where he's blocked by hot-hitting Brandon Belt. So Pill has been taking grounders at third base, which gives the Giants some insurance until Pablo Sandoval recovers from his sore back. Manager Bruce Bochy named Pill as his "extra infielder" for Wednesday's series finale against Boston, in the event of an emergency.
Pill has played 57 games at second base and nine at third in the Minors.
"Right now it's just to give us some coverage, a little depth in case something happens today," Bochy said.
Pill also has continued to work out in left field, where he has started seven games as a Major Leaguer. Bochy said that he wants Pill to practice at that spot more frequently before he starts another game there.

Clearly, STAT isn't the only superstar on this team who needs to do a better job on defense. Melo looked downright silly on the defensive end in this vid.
Not to make an excuse but that is Rudy Gay....STAT got torched by "FAT" Boris Diaw twice this year
But yeah he's gotta sit down defensively and move his feet better, the effort is there not all the time but more than usual his technique is just off and good scorer and coaches now how to attack that
C'mon, we're so weak even a high school coach can laugh on us... It's so bad because we know it's true...
I don't care who it is, a coach sends the wrong message by allowing this type of defense.
Poor technique, body placement, and strategy (fronting, switching, over the screen, etc...)
and finally, poor decision making- influenced by "players standing around the perimeter" while a shot goes up, both instances as per what the coach has implemented.
I'd like to see an improvement, above a players natural ability, in technique and approach on defense, in order to rate 'Antoni anything better than menial as a coach.
This thread needs more attention.
Melo played pretty bad against Phoenix. Again, I saw him not running back on defense resulting to wide open mid range jumpers for Hill. On offense...... ugh, you know what happened.
He had one bad game.....he's still by far our best player this season. Without him we'd have won zero games.....people need to chill on Melo. It's not his fault that James Dolan ruined the team by acquiring him.
Melo is a very good player, the best on our roster and besides Jorts the only one I can stand at this point. I could name atleast 5 guys on this team who deserve more criticism than Melo....
He needs to trust his teammates more. Landry, Shump, and STAT had pretty good games, no reason to jack up shots when you're clearly struggling and teammates are open and making shots.

Lakeside High School homecoming queen Jessica Giddens, a teen with Down syndrome whose celebratory image lit up the school and social media, will make her national television debut Monday.
Jessica recently taped an appearance on Steve Harvey, which airs locally at 3 p.m. on WJBF (Channel 6).
The Lakeside High senior will be with other students Monday afternoon to watch the show in the school's media center, Assistant Principal Melanie Sprouse said.
"We've got a special chair for her to sit in that looks like a panther paw" – the school's mascot is a panther – "and she'll be wearing her tiara," Sprouse said.
The segment is to be broadcast as part of the program's Heroes Series and will include video vignettes from other Lakeside High students whose lives have been touched by Jessica's enthusiasm, Sprouse said.
"I think it's going to be great," she said.
A producer told her that Harvey, after the taping, asked for Jessica to be booked for a future show and called the senior a "superstar," Sprouse said.
The photo and story about Jessica's being named homecoming queen Oct. 26 received thousands of shares on Facebook.

Typing 'Rivercats' may cost you a buck
With baseball season getting underway, we just received this missive from the front office of the Sacramento River Cats here in West Sacramento. No doubt, there's a degree of "tongue in cheek" going on here. The press release follows:
"You've been warned: the moniker 'River Cats' is comprised of two words, with a capital 'R' and a capital 'C.' Effective immediately, all members of the local and national media, River Cats corporate partners, full- or part-time River Cats staff, and season, flex, and mini-plan ticket holders will be fined $1 for spelling 'River Cats' incorrectly.
"All money collected will go to the River Cats Foundation, which has contributed more than $1.5 million in cash and $16.2 million in in-kind donations to the greater Sacramento community since 2000.
"The Sacramento River Cats franchise is one of the most well-known teams in professional baseball, in spite of the relative obscurity of river cats themselves (apologies to Dinger). However, even after 11 division championships, four PCL championships, and two Triple-A National Championships, the name is consistently misrepresented at the local and national level.
"For clarification, the following are incorrect iterations of the name 'River Cats,' and therefore subject to the $1 fine:
— Rivercats
— RiverCats
— rivercats
— river cats
"Any questions or complaints regarding this new policy can be directed to the River Cats media relations department."

text: As I have come to understand it, something cannot be canon if it is incompatible with information stated on screen and/or the intentions of the original producers and production designers. While doing an Oberth Class study I revisited the essential TOS book The Making of Star Trek from 1968 (statements from the producers, i.e. Gene Roddenberry and Bob Justman) and the Star Trek Sketchbook from 1997 (with previously unpublished original sketches and statements from the production designer and Enterprise creator Matt Jefferies). How Matt Jefferies came up with "NCC" has been quoted several times online, but what he additionally said is curiously sometimes missing: "So the one seven stood for the seventeenth basic ship design in the Federation, and the zero one would have been serial number one, the first bird." (BBC Online) "So 1701 was as good a choice as any. The reason we gave for the choice afterwards was that the Enterprise was the 17th major design of the federation, and the first in the series. 17-01!" (Star Trek Sketchbook, page 62) At first glance the "afterwards" seems like a 'Retcon Maneuver' but here it's a) the father of the Starship Enterprise talking about his intentions and b) actually something he intended early on once we look at the text of a genuine yellow Enterprise production sketch from the early 1960's: 17th CRUISER DESIGN SERIAL N°1 = 1701 SERIAL N°2 1702 http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6015/6012480851_6b6f819fbb_b.jpg (illustration from Star Trek Sketchbook) With that late but essential information, several original statements from the producers in The Making of Star Trek no longer just seem to talk about a starship class of Enterprise "types" but indeed about an Enterprise Class as USS Enterprise was the first of it and therefore is also at least about 40 years old by the time of TOS (the age of the ship is another myth): Bob Justman: "(D. C. Fontana) suggests that we establish the names of the 12 ships of the Enterprise Starship Class." (part II, chapter 1, page 165) Stephen Whitfield (authorized by Gene Roddenberry): "The Enterprise-class starships have been in existence for about forty years and are now capable of surveying and exploring the uncharted remainder of the galaxy." (part II, chapter 3, page 203). So where does that erroneous idea of a Constitution Class come from Court-Martial" aired in February 1967, and the office of the portmaster of Starbase 11 included a "star ship status" wall chart which featured 10 registry numbers obviously belonging to unknown Federation starships – NCC 1700 at the very bottom - which compelled D.C. Fontana six months later to submit the aforementioned proposal to provide some names for starships. It should be noted that "Constitution" wasn't even among the first three published name lists (Mr. Whitfield just provided a final result which then included names that hadn't been on the first three lists: Potemkin, Republic, Constitution, Kongo, Farragut, Valiant and Intrepid) and that "NCC 1700" on that status chart was the farthest from being "complete". According to the 'Jefferies Rule' "NCC 1700" would have meant 17-00 (serial number zero) and possibly indicated a yet unregistered starship beeing built at the time. The only screen evidence of a USS Constitution in TOS was the screen display of Scotty's technical journal in "The Trouble With Tribbles" displaying a "primary phaser" schematic belonging to a "Star Ship MK IX/01 Constitution Class": http://images.wikia.com/memoryalpha/en/images/1/16/Constitution_primary_phaser.jpg While it is correct that USS Enterprise and her sister ships are vessels of the Starship Class, it had never been established that all starships have to look like USS Enterprise (and "Starship Reliant" is sufficient proof). According to the 'Jefferies Rule' Scotty would have just looked at the phaser design of an older class of starship (maybe NCC-901 or NCC-1601...). Mr. Franz Joseph, being (also) unaware that USS Enterprise was supposed to be "the first bird, the first in the series" (Jefferies), introduced the idea of the Constition Class (NCC-1700) with his Star Trek Blueprints and the Star Trek Technical Manual which nevertheless is as erroneus as the other and similar idea of the 1970's that Enterprise should belong to the Constellation Class just because that was the lowest starship registry ever visible on screen (NCC-1017). It looks like for the canon of Star Trek just the lesser of two evils had been chosen which still doesn't put things right. Personally, I have no problem that Kirk's Enterprise became a member of the Constitution Class if that was the first vessel to undergo the refit / redesign / transformation of the 2270's. I know it's unrealistic to expect this flaw to be corrected (think of the birds and the dinosaurs), but for the future I recommend to avoid the term "Constitution Class" whenever it comes to Kirk's television "starship class" Enterprise.

Grammy Award winning singer-rapper Lauryn Hill has some explaining to do to the federal government. The U.S. Attorney's Office of Newark, New Jersey has charged the former Fugees singer with three counts of willfully failing to file income tax returns.
According to NJ.com, Hill, who became a hip-hop icon after releasing her multi-platinum 1998 solo album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, failed to pay the IRS taxes on more than $1.8 million.
Hill reportedly did not file returns with the IRS in 2005, 2006, and 2007. The artist is listed as owning four corporations: Creations Music, Inc., Boogie Tours, Inc., L.H. Productions 2001 Inc. and Studio 22 Inc.
Hill faces up to one year in prison and $100,000 fine for each count. The 37-year-old South Orange New Jersey resident is set to appear in a federal court June 29.

Seaman, now 75 and a longtime resident of Palo Alto, recently returned to the site — the camp itself was razed by the British because of a typhus epidemic at the end of the war — to share that memory and others with an audience of about 95 local Germans.
In a Sunday afternoon lecture in October, she delivered her talk, "Death and Dying, or Life and Living," in German.
"There were a lot of questions afterward," she said. After decades of postwar silence among Germans about the concentration camps, "there's a hunger to hear from people who actually lived at this time," Seaman said.
"We're the living witnesses. There are a lot of people in my situation out there giving public talks."
Seaman's parents, Erich and Maria Rosenthal, had fled Germany in 1937 for the Netherlands, where Seaman — their first and only child — was born in 1938, in Rotterdam.
When Seaman was 4 in the spring of 1943, she awoke one morning to find that her grandparents were gone — they'd been sent to the Sobibor extermination camp in occupied Poland. It was just a few days before Honduran passports — which had been secured by her grandmother's brother in Switzerland — arrived for the whole family.
"Although the passports did not save my grandparents, they probably did save my mother and me as well as my father, for as long as he lived," she said.
Seaman was 5 when she and her parents were rounded up in April 1944 and taken to Bergen-Belsen, where the family was separated and she was placed with her mother in the section known as the "star camp" because prisoners wore stars rather than the striped prison garb of the others.
"This was considered the best part of the camp," she said. "They held us for exchange for German POWs," she said.
Seaman's father was put to work in a shoe factory but soon fell ill. Seaman remembers visiting him in the infirmary. "As the winter was extremely cold, I was chilled to the center of my being, in the freezing weather, and felt frustrated because my father wouldn't respond to me," she recalls.
Erich Rosenthal died at Bergen-Belsen in January 1945.
"For many years I held an irrational anger at my father for having died," Seaman said. "I thought German men were raised to be responsible for their families, so how could my father have 'given up' and died and left us alone? To some extent I held on to those feelings well into adulthood ..."
Years later reading "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl, another Holocaust survivor, Seaman gained a new perspective on her father. The book "explores what can happen in the minds of people under circumstances like those in which we had been forced to live in the camp.
"I realized that my father had been a victim, not a perpetrator, and I felt at peace," she said.
Some years after that, Seaman found penciled notes her father had written to her mother when they were at Bergen-Belsen.
"In these it is evident that he often took care of me and tried to feed me some of the better things that came in packages from relatives," she said. "He obviously loved my mother and me dearly and looked forward to the day of liberation when we would again live a normal life.
"He looked forward to the time when perhaps another child might be added to our family. My parents only had 10 years together."
Seaman has no recollection of her sixth birthday at Bergen-Belsen, but does have other specific memories.
She remembers making little figures out of tar melted from the roof of the barracks in the heat of summer, and also her mother making her a doll out of cellophane. She did not know the source of the cellophane until years later, when historians learned the cellophane had been used in parachute-making by camp workers.
She remembers the watchtowers at the camp's perimeter, and being taken to the camp showers with her mother.
Another memory is of seeing "somebody on the ground — maybe dead already — and someone else kind of pouncing on them to see if they had any food."
"I remember latrines — the row of holes in a wooden structure at the back of our camp," she said. "When I saw the movie 'Schindler's List' I was shocked into remembrance of the multi-level bunks that were our beds."
In April 1945, near the war's end, Seaman and her mother were among 7,000 Bergen-Belsen inmates placed on trains for other locations.
"Mostly people who were very ill and those with children, like ourselves, were placed in passenger cars," she said. "We were among about 2,500 people packed in like sardines. ... The situation on the train, as crowded as it was, with all the sickness, the foul smells and the lack of sanitary facilities, was a ghastly place."
At one point the train stopped and people were allowed out. Seaman recalls finding herself in a green field with wildflowers that she found "incredibly beautiful." But then they were ordered back into the cars.
Sometime later, American soldiers in tanks came upon the train near the town of Farsleben. Seaman has no specific recollection of the liberation.
Though many had died on the train, she said, she, her mother and others were taken to hospitals to recover. Maria Rosenthal weighed 70 pounds.
"We were taken to a medical facility in Hillersleben until my mother recovered," she said. "Apparently, I bounced back rather quickly."
Mother and daughter briefly returned to the Netherlands before going to live with relatives in London, later with relatives in El Salvador and finally, in 1953, to Berkeley, where Seaman went to high school and to the University of California.
Seaman married and raised four children in Palo Alto. For the past three decades she has worked as a mediator and recently co-authored the book "Conflict — The Unexpected Gift."
Maria Rosenthal, who never remarried, lived in Berkeley until her death in 1987. It was only then that Seaman found the letters her father had written to her mother from the Bergen-Belsen infirmary — in particular Erich Rosenthal's letter to his wife on their 10th anniversary in October 1944.
"If anyone does a compilation of love letters of the world, that should be in there," she said.
Following her October speech at Bergen-Belsen, camp historians read aloud from some of the letters.
"As a Holocaust survivor, some people might think I'd be justified in hating Germans and all things German," Seaman told the assembled group. "However I have learned that there is a big difference between the Nazis who masterminded those World War II atrocities as well as those who willingly followed in their footsteps, and the thousands of Germans who had nothing to do with it and whose lives were imperiled if they opposed the Nazi regime.
"We must not let a determined minority that behaves hatefully and dangerously poison our minds against the majority. Every day, in small and large ways, we have the opportunity to transcend past mistakes, misjudgments and misunderstandings and to work together to create peace and harmony."

glutout replied to Jaxonthehuman's topic in Super Sensitive Celiacs & Gluten SensitiveMy dog suddenly started having seizures, and he is a little over 5 years old. My vet suggested one thing I could try is to put him on a grain free diet. I am currently feeding him Taste of the Wild grain free food. I am not sure where you are located but here we have several foods that offer a grain free option. I have noticed improvements in him, especially with itchy ears and such. I guess I have a dog that cannot tolerate gluten either, go figure!
Fizzing, Bubbling Sound In Back Of Neck?
glutout replied to rarmama's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchYes, I get that too from time to time. Like most things, I have never gotten an explanation for it. Maybe it is some kind of release because I seem to feel better for a little while after it happens!
I think corn is the only thing I do not react to!
Maybe so...I, too have insulin resistance, and never even thought of that! Need to watch my starches!!!
glutout replied to DonnaMM's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithYes, for me it's usually the next day. Sometimes it takes two. I get depressed and lethargic. If a headache is going to come, it is the first to show up--usually within hours! What's so weird about this "disease" is how different and similiar it is for everybody!
Thank you for the great info. The IgG test is confusing, because as I stated there were high levels of antibodies for foods I hardly ever eat, so what does that mean? I agree with the cortisol levels too since I have been sleeping very well until the overabundance of rice. I guess I just need to cut it out for a while!
I have a health practioner who ordered it for me. It's a blood test by Genova Diagnostics. I got the blood draw at a local lab. It tests IgG levels, as well as total IgE. So it is looking for sensitivites, not really allergies. There's a difference in the antibodies affected. Pretty interesting test.
Reaction To Rice?
glutout posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHello lovely people. I think I am having a problem with rice or/ rice based flours. When I eat a pretty good amount of either, it seems that I have trouble sleeping, tossing and turning and my mind races all night. My mind tends to get busy at times, but this was much worse. I had a food sensitivity test done several months ago and rice was very high, but my doctor thought it was just because I ate it frequently. So many of the gluten free foods are rice based it's hard to avoid. I do not know if I agree with that because there were other foods that tested high and some I never ate at all. So why would that pertain to rice and not the other foods? Does anyone else react this way to rice, and if so, is it whole rice or the rice flours??
Muscle Soreness/fatigue
glutout replied to bny06's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithCould be, my muscles ache and I get very tired if I eat gluten and sometimes when I don't. I am not sure where it comes from. I know this doesn't help you except to know there are others that experience this.
glutout replied to viviendoparajesus's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHave you gone back to your doctor with these issues?? Sounds like someone has done a good job finding different food sensitivites, etc. Maybe there is more to be done? Have you had something like H Pylori checked?
Odd Neuro Symptoms After Getting Cc'd?
glutout replied to saintmaybe's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithYes, I feel drunk too when this happens to me, really punch drunk....I get lethargic, depressed, anxious and cannot even begin to think straight!!!
Update On My Dizziness
glutout replied to glutout's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithFor me, it is there all the time, just in varying degrees--I do not believe I have been glutened. I have been complaining about it for years. I feel I need to get my vitamin levels checked, but do not know which ones are accurate and the best type to get???
Update On My Dizziness
glutout posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi all. I posted awhile back on some dizziness issues I have been having. I went to see an ENT to have my ears checked or to rule out issues with my jaws since I do occassional grind my teeth. Well, according to the doctor it is not my jaws causing the prob lem and he does not classify my symptom as "dizziness". It is more of an unsteadiness. He had me close my eyes and I could not stand up without leaning over, nor could I stand and lift one leg with my eyes closed! That is so not like me. I have had good balance my whole life with the exception of the last 2 years. He asked me if I knew what could be wrong with me??? I told him, no that's why I came to you!!! After looking into it,I wonder if this could be more of an ataxia problem, and if so, why is it getting worse when I have been gluten free for a year and a half??? Just thought I would update in case anyone is experiencing the same thing!!!
Emotional Revolutions
glutout replied to saintmaybe's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithOh, yes. I had severe anxiety and panic attacks and all other kinds of physical and emotional issues that no doctor could explain. Lost my job, couldn't drive, all types of things I have lost. Now, after a year and a half everything is getting better-more on an even keel. I still have to deal with the flashbacks and torments of what the anxiety has done to me on a daily basis for so long, but I am getting better. I have noticed, too, that here lately I don't take much crap and am getting back to that "tough" independent chick I used to be. I still am having some ataxia, dizziness issues to my getting back to driving is limited, but I am on my way!! Stupifying isn't it?
Bone Pain
glutout replied to pondy's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI get bone pain in my hips and shoulders. It comes and goes, too. Not sure if it is some sort of vitamin deficiency or accidentally got cc'd. Going to my GI doc to see what he says. Good luck to you!

While I'm currently snowed under (literally and figuratively), here's some interesting reading, from Religion Dispatches, on George W. Bush's first "faith czar," and his praise for Obama's faith-based initiatives.
John J. DiIulio, the first director of George W. Bush's White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, has taken to the Washington Post to laud President Obama's White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. In it, he cutely claims to like Obama's director of the faith-based office, Joshua DuBois, better than "Bush's first 'faith czar.'"
Less than a year into his own tenure, DiIulio resigned in disgust, and complained about Bush staffers who sought to dole out favors to religious conservatives rather than serve "compassionate conservativism." He notoriously coined the term "Mayberry Machiavellis" to describe Bush insiders, who, in relation to faith-based legislation, "winked at the most far-right House Republicans" in attempting to pass legislation for the faith-based office. That bill, which went nowhere, was drafted because Bush staffers thought it "satisfied certain fundamentalist leaders and Beltway libertarians."
It's an interesting read, especially in light of frequent accusations that Obama is somehow anti-religion (whilst simultaneously being Muslim, Nazi, Socialist, and Communist, hmmm).

A few weeks ago, I ran out of toothpaste. I'm not sure how it happened, but when I went to grab a new box from my toothpaste stash, it turned up empty. (I'll blame it all on Mr. Bella.)
Whatever the case, I didn't have time to go out and buy a new tube right then and there, and I had already cut it open to squeeze out the last remnants the night before.

Cowlishaw: Sean Payton speculation will only intensify after Garrett, Cowboys fall flat
ATLANTA — By law, Sunday was going to be the longest day of the year for Jason Garrett. The 25-hour day may ultimately prove to be his worst as well.
What began with the clocks being turned back one hour quickly gave way to speculation on whether or not owner Jerry Jones might choose to turn the Cowboys' clock back to 2005. The odd news that Sean Payton had become a free agent coach broke early in the morning, and it did not take long for people to start guessing if the former Cowboys coordinator and current Westlake homeowner might make Valley Ranch his home office for 2013.
The Cowboys' 19-13 loss to the Falcons Sunday night completed Garrett's day of misery. In his mind, only the game and, of course, the process mattered. But with the Cowboys having opportunities to knock off the league's only unbeaten team and the offense producing just one touchdown, things could not have gone much worse for the coach.
The Cowboys hit the midseason mark at 3-5. That makes this the worst half-season of Garrett's career as the team went 5-3 in the last half of 2010 and 4-4 in both halves last year while somehow competing for the NFC East title right to the end.
This team isn't going to compete for the East in 2012. Making a run at the second wild card seems a stretch for a team tied with St. Louis for the NFC's 12th best record.
The fact the Cowboys are relying almost solely on Rob Ryan's defense to compete will only make the Payton talk grow louder, no matter what disclaimers Jones can offer.
It's not unthinkable that an owner — even one less prone to volatility than Jones — would get rid of what he might consider a good coach in favor of one perceived as better. No one understands this more than Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle.
In 2003, he had just led Detroit to its second straight 50-win season and division title when he was fired, with a year to go on his contract, so that the Pistons could hire Larry Brown. And Carlisle's Pistons had just defeated Brown's 76ers in the playoffs. But, in this case, the move worked for Detroit, which won a championship under Brown the next season.
In a case more directly related to this situation, Jones fired Chan Gailey after he reached the playoffs in both his seasons as head coach. Jones believed the team was capable of postseason success. Instead the franchise went the other direction, failing to reach the playoffs under Dave Campo or win a playoff game under Bill Parcells.
Payton has won a Super Bowl. He has won 62 games in six seasons in New Orleans despite taking over a franchise that had redefined the concept of "limited success" in its first 40 seasons.
The Saints take a 2-5 record into tonight's game with Philadelphia, a collapse that has only magnified Payton's star power in New Orleans. Needless to say, there is an issue here of whether or not Payton would perceive coaching Dallas as a superior opportunity to remaining with the Saints. Given that Drew Brees, 33, is only a year older than Tony Romo, and the fact Payton has been making far more money than Jones has ever paid a coach, it's not readily apparent why he would come running to Dallas.
Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed before Sunday's game that he had rejected the Saints' last contract offer for Payton months ago. Some believe that despite being suspended without pay this season, Payton might have to spend one more year in New Orleans to fulfill his contract, although that's uncertain. Goodell said he had no ruling to make until the Saints present him with a new contract for Payton.
Regardless, Garrett had center stage Sunday night for what is regularly America's most watched program. He had 60 minutes to showcase his team and to diffuse talk of coaching issues in Dallas.
Instead, what we all saw was an offense that can't sustain drives, can't produce points even when it moves the chains. A night of 377 yards should not equate to 13 points.
Yes, the Falcons are 8-0 but only San Diego had scored fewer than Dallas managed in the Georgia Dome this season. Struggling offenses in Kansas City, Oakland, Carolina and Philadelphia all scored more.
Payton in his six seasons has been a superior coach to Garrett in his two, and it's not even close. Will that have relevance to a 70-year-old owner who will be 17 years removed from Super Bowl success — and 17 years removed from getting to an NFC Championship Game — at season's end?
A desperate attempt to turn back the clock to the pre-Garrett era may be Jones' saving grace.

14 simple rules for patrol
PoliceOne recently received the following list of 14 patrol "rules" from one of our good friends with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. All of these concepts have made their way individually around the Internet in some form or another, but we don't remember seeing all of them collected in one place — at least like this short list. What should be rule #15? Add your own tip in the comments area below.
#1 — Wear your body armor.
#2 — Maintain a good level of shooting skills and proficiency with all your weapons systems: handgun, shotgun, and patrol rifle.
#3 — If necessary, purchase your own ammunition. An agency's budget may not adequately prepare you for a shootout.
#4 — Practice training unconventionally. Develop one-handed, support-side, or weak-handed weapons manipulation skills, i.e. loading and malfunction drills.
#5 — Be polite and be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
#6 — Treat every self initiated activity or call for service as a potential ambush. This includes meal breaks.
#7 — Carry and use a gun that works every time. All of your skills are in vain if your gun doesn't work.
#8 — Carry a backup. Guns are often hit and disabled, lost, or taken away.
#9 — Carry spare magazines and ammunition, in a firefight it never hurts to have more. Anyone who has been in a shooting will tell you that ammunition goes fast.
#10 — Be aggressive and quick.
#11 — Gunfights evolve rapidly. Have a plan, but be flexible for changes.
#12 — If you are not actually shooting, you should be reloading, communicating and gaining a tactical advantage.
#13 — Develop plans with your patrol partners, the old "what if" scenarios. Find out who carries what in their trunks.
#14 — Never give up despite the number of times you've been shot.
#15 — What should be rule #15? Add your tip in the comments below.

Ruggiano ejected in second inning vs. Phillies
By Jake Kaplan / MLB.com
Ruggiano took offense to a called third strike by home-plate umpire Clint Fagan. The pitch, which came on a 2-2 count from Philadelphia's Cliff Lee, was inside.
"I just didn't think it was over the plate," said Ruggiano, whose opinion did not change after seeing a replay. "That's basically it. The guy pitching is pretty good already, and when the strike zone widens, it makes it even harder to get him."
Ruggiano wasn't sure exactly why Fagan ejected him. After arguing the call at the plate, he walked to the dugout. He said he said something to his coaches and that's when Fagan ran him from the game. It was Ruggiano's first ejection from a Major League game. Austin Kearns took over for him in left field.
"The coaches are basically who I was talking to when I walked in," he said. "I said if he gets that pitch all day, we're in trouble or something like that. ... I have a feeling he was tracking me all the way back to the dugout and just waiting for me to say one more thing."
Miami skipper Ozzie Guillen came out to briefly argue with Fagan before returning to the dugout.
"I think the reason on why and when he got thrown out, I don't think it was the right way, because he was chirping in the dugout but not to the umpire," Guillen said. "He was talking to himself. He was mad at himself. The umpire thought he was talking to him, and that's the reason I went out."
Murphy suffers concussion on Utley's slide
PHILADELPHIA -- Donnie Murphy left in the seventh inning of Wednesday's 3-1 loss with a concussion, manager Ozzie Guillen said.
The Marlins third baseman was inadvertently hit on the head on a slide by Philadelphia's Chase Utley in the sixth inning. The injury occurred when John Mayberry Jr. hit his game-tying RBI single to center field and Utley went from first to third. On his slide into third, it appeared as if Utley's right leg popped up and accidentally made contact with Murphy.
Murphy flied out to right field in the seventh before he was replaced by Greg Dobbs to start the bottom half of the inning.
"We've got to wait and see tomorrow about it," Guillen said. "I talked to the trainer, and he said it might take a couple days. Hopefully days not weeks. We will wait to see what they have tomorrow and wait to see how he feels Friday."
Ozzie conflicted about 2013 return to U.S. Cellular
PHILADELPHIA -- Ozzie Guillen isn't quite sure how he will feel when he returns to U.S. Cellular Field for the first time next May. But the Marlins' skipper is looking forward to it.
Major League Baseball released its schedule for 2013 on Wednesday afternoon, and Guillen's return to Chicago on May 24-26 is arguably Miami's most intriguing Interleague series.
Guillen played for the White Sox from his rookie season in 1985 until '97, and he managed them from 2004 until last season, winning a World Series title in '05. Guillen still lives in Chicago and has a lot of friends there.
"Going there, how I'm going to feel? I don't know," Guillen said before Wednesday's series finale against the Phillies, an hour after the schedule was released. "It might feel weird. Obviously, I grew up in that ballpark. It's like you go to your old house. I grew up there. I have a lot of great memories there. I have a lot of very bad memories there, everything involved."
Guillen will have to wait until the day comes to know how he will respond emotionally. He returned to Chicago to face the Cubs on July 17-19, but that was different.
"You never know," he said. "Maybe I don't even care. Maybe I start crying. I don't know. Maybe I'm nervous. ... To me, I have to wait for that day to know exactly how I'm going to feel about it. I did it before as a player. But we'll see."
Stanton a terror for opposing home teams
PHILADELPHIA -- Giancarlo Stanton continued his torrid pace hitting road home runs in Tuesday night's loss, with his seventh homer in the Marlins' past eight road games. His 21 home runs in opposing ballparks are tied for the second most in the Majors, and his 34 homers overall rank second to Ryan Braun's 38 in the National League.
Since returning from knee surgery on Aug. 7, Stanton has slugged a Major League-leading 15 home runs, begging the obvious question of how many he could have had with a full season. As is, he could still catch Braun in the remaining 19 games.
"It's uncontrollable, in my view," Stanton said of missing 25 games from July 8 through Aug. 5. "You can always look back and say I missed a month and all that, but what can you do, really?"
Despite his success with the long ball, Stanton is not exactly pleased with his performance on the current road trip. He homered in four of the first five games of the trip, but he's also struck out 12 times in 22 at-bats and has struggled with situational hitting.
"If I wasn't hitting home runs, then it would be brutal," Stanton said.
But his power numbers speak for themself.
"This kid, to me, is one of the more feared hitters in the game -- at least in the National League, he is," Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said. "Every time he comes to the plate, the pitcher thinks about it."
Worth noting
It might have been overlooked due to a costly dropped popup on Tuesday night, but Rob Brantly has been hitting the ball pretty well. The 23-year-old rookie catcher has at least one hit in each of his past five games, including two on Tuesday. Brantly is batting .381 (16-for-42) with nine runs scored, four doubles, two home runs and four RBIs over his past 13 games. He did not start Wednesday's series finale.
"One thing about this kid that's going to make him special, this kid wants to be good and he wants to learn," manager Ozzie Guillen said.
Guillen said Brantly would benefit from catching a better pitching staff, too.
"To help him, let's get a better pitching staff. He will be one of the best catchers in the game," the skipper said with a laugh. "You're not a good catcher if you don't have a good pitching staff. I don't care if Johnny Bench is behind the plate. If you don't have a good pitching staff, you're never going to be a good catcher. That's going to be your question mark all the time."
Greg Dobbs' .382 road average since June 21 leads the National League and ranks second in the Majors. Dobbs, who got a day off in Wednesday's series finale against the Phillies, has at least one hit in 28 of 33 road games over that same span.
On this date in 1996, Gary Sheffield hit his 42nd home run of the season, which remains a single-season record for the Marlins.

The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) announced that it will begin water testing and flushing in Flint Community...
Without careful maintenance, commercial aircraft drinking water is contaminated with bacteria in 17% of cases, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A partnership between two leading companies in water safety and technology may change all that.
Vanson HaloSource, Inc., a Redmond, Wash., based health science technology company, has signed a joint development agreement with Monogram Systems of Carson, Calif. The agreement covers feasibility and technical development for water sanitization and purification systems for commercial airliners and high-speed trains, using HaloPure, Vanson HaloSource's innovative water treatment and purification technology.
Monogram Systems is the global leader in application of water and waste technology for the transportation industry, with extensive experience over the past 50 years. Monogram designs and manufactures complete potable water systems for business, regional and large commercial aircraft.
"HaloPure technology offers a potential solution to simple, safe and complete purification of drinking water," said John Kaestle, CEO, Vanson HaloSource. "HaloPure harnesses the power of chlorine and may enable water treatment appliances to create drinking water free of bacteria and viruses."
"This is a particularly important arena for the application of water sanitization technology, in view of heightened health and regulatory concerns over water safety on passenger aircraft," said Jeff Williams, chief technology officer, Vanson HaloSource. "HaloPure's bead technology offers safe drinking water that also tastes and smells good."
In internal laboratory testing, Vanson HaloSource has demonstrated that chlorine, bound to HaloPure beads, can treat bacteria and viruses commonly found in drinking water, promising to improve water treatment systems by providing an effective solution to microbial contamination problems.
