The Los Angeles Times
Ani Chopourian told of sexually inappropriate conduct, bullying and retaliation at a Sacramento hospital. The award is believed to be the largest for a single victim of workplace harassment in U.S. history.
By Carol J. Williams, Los Angeles Times
March 2, 2012, 12:11 a.m.
Ani Chopourian lost track of how many complaints she filed during the two years she worked as a physician assistant at Sacramento's Mercy General Hospital.
There were at least 18, she recalled, many having to do with the bullying surgeon who once stabbed her with a needle and broke the ribs of an anesthetized heart patient in a fit of rage. Another surgeon, she said, would greet her each morning with "I'm horny" and slap her bottom. Yet another called her "stupid chick" in the operating room and made disparaging remarks about her Armenian heritage, asking if she had joined Al Qaeda.

Summer 2011 Playlist
***Each title is a clickable link to its respective song on Youtube***
1. Excuses---The Morning Benders
One of my top songs of all of 2010, Excuses is a big, warm hug of a song that makes One feel nostalgic and young at the same time. A beach-set ballad set afloat by Christopher Chu's miraculous croon, it's a big band tune with a wicked ability to put a smile on your face every time.
Age of Consent---New Order*
An oldie but a goodie, New Order's bright and brilliant take on youthful defiance has aged better than just about anything from else the entire 80's. From its insanely catchy main guitar riff, to Bernard Sumner's sublimely juvenile vocal performance, to the fiery guitar solos that somehow still sound badass today, this is a Summer number for the ages.
3. Ffunny Ffrends---Unknown Mortal Orchestra
From an established classic to a young upstart (with a painfully bad band name), Portland's own Unknown Mortal Orchestra has crafted One of this year's best songs in Ffunny Ffrends. A throw-back rendered as a low-fi stomp, the tune is an ear-worm if ever there was One, its laid-back, old-school vibe simply impossible to resist.
4. East Harlem---Beirut
The lead single from Beirut's latest may not be as upbeat or energetic as the majority of this mix, but it's perfectly suited for the lazy days of Summer. Built on an flawless pairing of Zach Condon's incomparable voice and the musical backing's casual rumble, its an ideal tune for a mid-afternoon, laying-in-the-grass session.
5. Kids---Sleigh Bells
From relaxing to riotous, there's little doubt that all those put blissfully to sleep by East Harlem will be blasted awake by Kids. Through use in movie trailers and MTV ads, Kids has become sneakily become the favorite song off of SB's incredible debut album, Treats, driven by a tenacious desire to blow out speakers and get the children dancing.
Fake Blues---Real Estate*
Another foolproof song to chill out and drink a beer to, Fake Blues recalls the yesteryear, beach-hopping allusions of Excuses, but in a far less grand manner. It's central riff, echoing in an ever-inviting way, blends deliciously with its bellowing percussion, audible bliss resounding.
7. Gone---Kanye West featuring Consequence & Cam'ron
Don't get me wrong: I'm pretty into Kanye's current stadium-rocking incarnation, but Gone might just still stand as my favorite song of his. Set to a soulful, slowly evolving beat built out of pianos and strings, the song runs for a solid Six minutes, all Three MCs delivering absolutely killer verses (Kanye with Two). Smaller than Ye's current fare, but no less addictive.
8. You Still Believe in Me---M. Ward
In the same way that an album can greatly benefit from a well-placed instrumental track, it's my belief that most good playlists have at least One or Two wordless numbers. You Still Believe in Me fills the slot with nothing more than a subtle, gorgeous acoustic guitar, peacefully glowing through its contented, soothing Two and a half minutes of existence.
12:51---The Strokes*
The lead single from an album widely viewed as under-whelming, I've been completely in love with 12:51 since the first time that I heard it in mid-High School. It's not the ass-kicker that just about any song off of Is This It? proves to be, but the main guitar part absolutely screams Summer, as confident and warm as any riff in the band's catalogue, bolstered by a euphoric climactic Fifteen seconds.
10. Crazy For You---Best Coast
A gloriously throwback to young, confused, stupid love, Crazy For You sounds like a tune from another time, ridiculously catchy without the smallest hint of complexity. A straight-forward blast of the clear-weather good times, the track gets in and out in under Two minutes, but it might just get stuck in your head for much longer.
11. Surfer's Hymn---Panda Bear
Swirling, enveloping, and doused in sunlight: Yup, it's Panda Bear, alright. Tomboy's widest-smiling track Twice over, you can almost see the glittering ocean in Noah Lennox's bizarre electronic backing, his ever-delightful voice massaging eager eardrums.
12. Hysteric---Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Despite their primary interest in the more punk-y side of rock, Yeah Yeah Yeahs' most iconic song remains Maps, and this little number, released Six years later, strikes me as a perfect revisitation. Smaller in scale than many of their songs, Hysteric is the musical equivalent of a lengthy, contented sigh, Karen O's voice gliding along through the song's gorgeous, shimmering instrumentals.
New Theory---Washed Out*
Ever since I truly discovered Washed Out's much ballyhooed debut EP (which happened embarrassingly recently), I haven't been able to put the thing down, and New Theory is a big reason why. Ernest Greene's voice echoes indecipherably from every corner of the thing, the fuzzy (see washed out) electronica wrapping its comforting arms tightly around you for Three minutes of pure mirth.
14. All I Want---LCD Soundsystem
One of my very favorite songs by One of my very favorite bands, All I Want loops a David Bowie guitar riff into jubilant infinity. James Murphy's self-depriciating lyrics run dazzlingly against the grain of the tunes shining instrumentals, somehow managing to provoke and comfort at the exact same time, the golden hues of mid-August lofting off of it at every turn.
15. Killa---tUnE-yArDs
Killa may be the most immediate number on w h o k i l l's bizarro track list, but to call it conventional would be a fool's mistake. A delightful ditty of a guitar part leads us into Merrill Garbus' ridiculously singular voice, which seems to dart around through the song's many instrumental twists in turns in a way that is equal parts impressive and fun.
Laughing Gas---Neon Indian*
The other instrumental tune on this playlist, Laughing Gas is a gleefully blurry take on mid-Summer mania, stuffed to the brim with strange effects and a head-bobbing pulse.
17. Start of Something---Voxtrot
A largely forgotten indie outfit from a few years ago, Voxtrot may not have made the biggest impression on the world of music, but this song sure makes a big impression on me. Sounding like a forgotten Belle and Sebastian hit, Start of Something's smooth, playful sound harkens back to a distant era, somehow managing to sound immediate at the same time.
18. You Oughta Know---Das Racist*
Another taste of good-times hip-hop, You Oughta Know's infectious beat has no problems setting bodies in motion, but it doesn't rest on its laurels there. MCs Heems and Kool A.D. are as clever and free-flowing as always, a number of lines rolling off of their tongues in ways both laugh-out-loud funny, and effortlessly smooth.
19. Jealous of Roses---Bibio
A miniature number with Summer block party written all over it, Jealous of Roses is a masterfully scaled dose of old-school funky, at first glued to Stephen Wilkinson's heavily effected voice, eventually giving the song over to an jaw-dropping duel of guitar and bass solos.
20. Else---Built to Spill
Else is what the end of a lively Summer day should sound like, custom designed to conjure contentment out of all those who listen to it. As if the wiggling guitar part of the chorus weren't enough, the thing wraps up with a small, precious bit of rocking out, drifting away into the warm evening air immediately thereafter.
21. Don't Stop---The Dodos*
This article marks the Third time that I've gone out of my way to sing this song's praises since its mid-March release, and you shouldn't expect me to stop anytime soon. As with the best Dodos songs, Don't Stop allows Logan Kroeber's percussion to share center-stage with vocalist/guitarist Meric Long, and the result is a sonically full-bodied blast of Summer-time merriment, complete with Long's irresponsible, irresistible chorus shout of, "Don't Stop! Don't let your boss catch you!"

I think you know how I feel about PB. But I also strongly agree with: Beirut, Sleigh Bells, the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD, and the Dodos.ReplyDelete
Well done. I think it's a nice mix of genres and BPMs. I'm gonna hop over to itunes to make this playlist right meow.
i checked out all these songs last year after reading this.. and found some new favorite artists.. namely Washed Out, Neon Indian, and Das Racist :0)ReplyDelete

actually wasn't terrible! she slept horribly the night before, as it was about 40 degrees in our little cabin. we stayed in a super cool cabin, and once i upload my pictures to shutterfly, which only takes a couple days, i'll send another link. the week up at family camp was awesome. it restored me to who i feel i am deep down: a girl who loves the outdoors and simple living, being around family and friends. i love not having a mirror, having black feet, building fires, swimming in the lake, playing cards and dice, reading just all the great stuff that makes camp camp. our dream to own some land and build a cabin of our own was cemented this past week. well, more like i got behind tray's lifelong dream. we're thinking the areas of hood river, oregon, but we'll see what god has in store for us.
no updates on the house yet. tray is at work and i'm waiting to hear if he's spoken with our realtor yet regarding what is happening with all the inspection stuff that needs to be addressed. being in nature made me want to move to the city a lot less, but we're looking at it as an inbetween home, somewhere that will make us really appreciate the wild. i certainly can't wait to have our own home.
i've got two people interested in carrying/buying my handmade clothes. one is a boutique in pheonixville. i'm excited, but at the same time, feeling little inspiration on that end right now. i'm more interested in designing and making full-size people clothing.
i hear it's going to rain for three days. anyone want to do something fun? tray is going out of town for four days to bike...ahh.

Rick and I went up the hill today to look at a couple of houses with his spanish teacher. It was really pretty up there and the homes were beautiful. It is amazing not only the different geographies you see here in Costa Rica, but also the different neighborhoods.
You can go around the corner, literally and be in a million dollar neighborhood. Down the street are people living on rice and on good days beans.
I used to think we had Costa Rica all figured out because we live in a more moderate neighborhood. My friend set me straight. She made it clear that we live among the rich of Costa Rica. She had been in towns where the people really did not have enough money to ride the bus. They had never been to a mall, much less a movie theatre. And for sure they ate mostly rice, with some beans around payday and a little fruit and vegees thrown in when they could get them.
My dentist told me that it is still common in the farm towns that for your big 50 you go and get all your teeth pulled and get your dentures! Now that is something to look forward to.

For those of you who were unaware, I was having arthroscopic surgery of my left knee today to remove a loose body (that was present on an MRI I had in December). This injury was due to trauma I sustained to the knee when I landed funny while running downhill in the last mile of Syracuse Ironman 70.3.
The doctors went in and found damage and swelling on the underside of my patella (previously undetected in my imaging results). The doctor said that I probably bruised the bone when I landed during the race, and the swelling and damage done was a result. I am not sure whether, had I rested after Syracuse, the damage wouldn't have been as extensive or whether it would happened regardless. Anyway, according to the doctor this will limit my ability to run for the rest of my life. They did try to remove some of the damaged tissue they found behind my kneecap, so that should help. But there is nothing more that they can really do. In terms of the loose body, they couldn't find it and believe it adhered to the mess behind my kneecap and so it was probably removed with it.
The chances that I will ever run or participate in triathlons at the competitive level has now been called into question. In 6 weeks time I am allowed to run again and I will have to take it day-by-day to see how things go. I am trying to stay positive.

What Edward Kennedy did to Mary Jo Kopechne under that Chappaquiddick bridge was awful, and I have made many a mordant joke at his expense over the decades. I always thought the Kennedy cult in Boston suburbia was creepy, and as you might guess I don't much agree with Kennedy politics either. Edward's career as whole shows he was a bad man with no loyalty to the American people. I'd mainly taken all this for granted to the extent this blog has historically cared more about that drunken namesake across the pond. It was 18 July as of the moment I write all this (I am front-dating it because I already posted much stuff for one day) so, the Incident is being noted again. With moralism.
This week, for whatever reason, I am not feeling the urge to hurl stones at Ted's jamra. I ask my readers to look in the mirror and question the face looking back at them, what they would have done. Consider when you do so how you have acted in similar situations.
The later Kennedy boys grew up in a family where most of the women 'roundabout were whores. They liked their money, power, and fame and were pretty loose about how they got it. I'm sure Kopechne had her reasons for getting into that car alone with the Heir To The Crown. I'm unsure they were good reasons.
When a man doesn't meet many good women, but meets plenty of bad ones, it does things to his head. If he's been brought up with a lot of "Camelot" bullshit I imagine it's worse. Worse still if he's been told he is the fourth best hope for the family. (People know Jack and Bobby; they sometimes forget Joe Junior.)
Incidents like Chappaquiddick can happen over mere moments: one bad call and your options narrow, sharply. Maybe you had time to save her. Maybe you didn't. Maybe you had the chance and you spent fifteen seconds too long to make up your mind. Or ten. Or five. Which timespan do you think qualifies one as a bad man?

springtime in the Fertile Crescent
Suddenly I realized that I need to update all of you on this wonderful occasion of spring! Being from Hawaii it is difficult to understand this concept as in the Islands there are 4 definite cycles of spring, summer, fall & winter, but the degree of change is minor. Living in Africa & Turkey the past few years has forced me to appreciate the changing weather patterns & I have never been so relieved of the coming summer season as I have been living in this part of the world!
Spring festivals are also sprouting up all around Turkey now as well. This weekend is Gaziantep University's festival and, fortunately, it is right across the street from my apartment so I am at this moment listening to the soundcheck from my living room. It serves a dual purpose as it drowns out the sounds of construction while are also across the street from me. The municipality here in Gaziantep loves to plant trees & flowers, as well as dig up sidewalks, tram lines & roads at every chance they can.
This week I find myself at the end of the school year at the university I teach at. It was a grueling year with learning how Turkish students learn basically. I learned classroom management here, yet it was frustrating every step of the way. In the end though, I feel comfortable with the style that I came up with & seemed to work most effective. No more babbling about work though because next week is FINALS!!!
My week should be relaxing as my classes are doing interviews/video & powerpoint projects for their final exams. I've seen a few previews and I am so impressed with my students creativity & dedication. After force-feeding students in the English preparatory school bookwork for 3 terms I have been rewarded with this 4th term and got to design my own curriculum for the coveted Level E students. They are definitely the cream of the crop. I mean, they understand my jokes- and even laugh at them! We have great discussions & debates and it has renewed my spirit for sure as I was a bit leery during the 1st term in terms of what I thought I could do with a group of students fresh from high school that get separation anxiety after 5 minutes of not holding their cell phones during class. Again I digress. No more talk of work...
I'm heading off to Amerika next week & totally looking forward to a few luxuries. They are:
1. going home to Maui & hanging out at the beach
2. Mexican food in NYC
3. shopping in NYC
4. yoga
5. just being with friends/family in general
My first stop is NYC. This feels like an annex home for me. I never thought I would live in NYC so going to graduate school there was a milestone & I somehow fell in love with that city. So, it's always nice to go back. There is so much I want to see/do there that I have a long list I've been compiling for a while now. As Turkey is so expensive to buy electronics (due to importation tariffs), I have a wish list to excavate through at Tekserve downtown!!!
I need to take care of all this stuff in NYC because during the Maui journey I want to do nothing but beach, surf, suck down exotic beers & other such shenanigans that are beneficial to me...
But that journey will end soon enough and I will find myself back here in full-swing sweltering summer teaching summer school courses. Normally I wouldn't find this such an attractive thing to do, but the foreign teachers are teaching high school kids from Eastern Turkey, so I am really looking forward to this. This year I didn't make it to far-Eastern Turkey so this is on my agenda for fall- perhaps during Bayram?
Speaking of travel, I have been doing a lot of this. Here are some pictures of my last Turkey Trot to Mardin. Mardin is further east/south-east from here, and another critical area in the development of the Fertile Crescent. It borders with Syria & Iraq. The architecture is beautiful & when the sun is setting, it refracts light in such a way that they (buildings) appear to be aglow w/gold glitter.
... and one of my favorite peeps on the planet...

Jenn McDannold, NASPA IV-W Student Career Development KC Representative
August 30, 2017
Did you know?
Only 17% of students who graduated from 2010 – 2016 said they found their college career centers to be "very helpful", with another 17% saying their interactions were "not helpful at all". (Inside Higher Ed.com, 2016). As colleges and universities continue to diversify their services and connect with other offices on campus, we must promote as many professional and personal development paths as possible.
You've heard of a mentor – but now you need a sponsor!
Mentors and sponsors are both here to support you in achieving your goals, but they each hold unique strongholds in your career. Mentors are great for a source of guidance and leading you into new opportunities within your personal and career goals. Sponsors are here to be your cheerleader when it matters, speaking up for you during meetings or throwing out your name when a leader is needed. Want that internship? Get a faculty sponsor to advocate for you! Want that promotion? Show the head of the search committee that you have what it takes! Sponsors are where networking and hard work come together, creating someone who has your back when it counts. Both may come and go, but having both a sponsor and a mentor in your life will make moving up easier.
Get speaking experience!
As a student, it can be difficult to gain a speaking opportunity, but trust me – they are out there! Contact your local career services office to see if you can mentor a freshman student in your major or hold a seminar about what to expect your first year as an Engineering major at your institution. As a young professional, stay aware of career connections at your alma mater. Recently graduated as a Spanish major? Take on a mentee in the program and help students through those last few years before their own career. Not only will this help you in becoming a sponsor for someone else, but hone your mentoring skills for future supervisory roles. As a new professional with a little seasoning, reaching out to local conferences and colleges about your expertise is a must for developing skills in professional speaking. I was once invited as a guest to a conference, but after giving the planning committee a call, I convinced them I was much more suited for a speaking engagement during the conference. Don't be afraid to ask!
*Career Services Idea! Do you have a poetry club on campus? Partner with this creative group to get nervous speakers out in public to debut their favorite poems!
Take personality inventories!
As a graduation gift, a friend of mine bought me the StrengthsFinder book series. Knowing my skills going into interviews was invaluable when telling future employers why I deserved the position. Funds low? No problem, there are plenty of other free inventories online. Try the TrueColors quiz, MBTI inventory or myplan.com.
*Career Services Idea! Work with the Psychology Department on campus and let students administer those personality inventories! Integrate the career center on campus with an ongoing resource for getting students involved semester after semester!
Consider a "personal brand"
Job searching can make you feel like you're just another face in the crowd. Utilize a personal branding course online to make your image stand out. Try Coursera: Introduction to Personal Branding or Udemy: Personal Branding Workshop.
*Career Services Idea! Invite some of your professional speaking professors to come and offer a personal branding course!
Young Professionals within your local Chamber of Commerce
Join the organization for fun, networking and personal development. National Career Development Association (NCDA) offers professional development opportunities and training services.
*Career Services Idea! Partner with your local Chamber of Commerce to provide "student memberships" for local college students.
Follow the Student Career Development Knowledge Community!

Maybe it's just me…
But if I could do it over again,
I would hold my kids more and maybe a little longer when they were babies.
I would watch more cartoons with them. (again and again)
I would turn off the T.V. and play more games with them.
I would laugh with my children more…at our mistakes and our joys.
I would listen to them more and talk less.
I would be more encouraging and bestow more praise on them.
I would be more honest with them about my weaknesses and stop pretending perfection.
I would pay more attention to the little things they did.
I would cherish more the words of love and kindness they gave me.
I would be a better example of a man that loves them more than life itself.
But then again, maybe it's just me.

The 11th seminar dealt with sensors & monitoring. Dr Platon (, ) presented his research on sensor networks at .
See also: previous seminar (#10).
Slides of the presentation:
Date: 28 May 2008 (10:00-11:15)
Location: , Tokyo, Japan
Language: English
Registration fees: None
Attendees: 5 persons
Organization: Dr ,
Abstract: Systems involving wireless sensor networks usually have two main assets, namely the sensor data in transit over the network, and hardware nodes. Traditional security approaches protect these assets by physical means and resource-consuming software like firewall or intrusion detection sub-systems. These are no longer applicable "as-is" in wireless sensor networks, where resources are severely constrained and nodes are physically assumed vulnerable. In addition, the applications of wireless sensor network technologies refer to less than a dozen to more than a thousand nodes, depending on application requirements. This indicates a need to shift the traditional view on security from the perspective of strong individuals to one that relies on the correlation and cooperation of weak individuals.
In this presentation, I will introduce wireless network technologies, review their security issues, and present state-of-the-art achievements, along with their limitations. This description of the current landscape of security will show the potential for decentralized approaches, leveraging the number of nodes instead of their individual capabilities. I will finally present our approach at , focusing on our activities related to decentralized key management and secure routing.
Speaker: Eric Platon is a visiting researcher at , funded by . He holds a joint Ph.D. in Computer Science from and for work on exception management in multi-agent systems. His research interests pertain to security, self-adaptive programs, and exception handling in mobile systems, notably wireless ad hoc networks of sensors. He is involved as a software architect in the XAC project, a government-funded research project for secure and self-adaptive applications in embedded systems.

My left hamstring is still tight and to add to that my groin is playing up - too much information me thinks. Anyway, I managed a 300, 400, 500, 400, 300 pyramid session albeit a little bit on the slow side, 50s, 70s, 89s, 70s, 50s. I didn't really want to do anymore for fear of aggravating things so I finished with a few jogged laps.
Some goods news though, Harry was back in the clan tonight but for every action there has to be an equal and opposite re-action (Newton's third law) which meant we had to miss Nick so that the natural balance and harmony of the universe could be maintained (I'm told he was revising for an exam tomorrow - so good luck Nick). The ever present Sean made up the numbers with Rick both running and timing. After the pyramid the lads (and older lad) ploughed on with some 200's not sure how many - I just knew I couldn't manage them tonight.
Thought for the day: The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it!

Touching the sky
A seems to ask the hardest questions. I never truly know how to respond. Half of the time that's because she is twice as smart as me. She is forever asking me things like "how far is it from the earth to the moon" and "at what rate does the earth spin".
Today she asked me this:
"Mommy...can you touch the sky?
I replied:
"No A...you can't touch the sky" (for once I knew the answer!)
"Well...in an airplane you are IN the sky...a space ship goes THROUGH the sky"
"I suppose so...but you still aren't TOUCHING the sky" (determined to be right for once!)
"That's not true Mommy. Every time I swing...my feet touch the sky!"
When did she get so smart?!?!

Strategic, BroadVision e-business platform helps government agencies across Asia, North and South America and Europe become more agile; gives Indian railway passengers "best in world" experience.
Digital government offers the prospect of public services that are easy to use; accessible, cost effective; available around‐the‐clock; unified across agencies; and consistent in appearance and functionality. In addition to government‐to‐citizen interactions, the Internet offers new possibilities for government‐to‐government (G2G); government‐to‐employee (G2E); and government to business (G2B) connections. G2G requires applications that share data across agencies as the foundation for knowledge management, content management, workflow management, and inter institutional collaboration. G2E requires intranet, project management and easy publishing, while G2B requires e procurement, MRO goods, contracting, e auctioning, etendering, eprocurement, and extranets.

Some things I learned this weekend:
1. When the roof guy tells you all he needs is 3 rain free days to get the roof done, what he really means is 3 weeks. It's been two so far, and um, yah.. if it's done by the end of this week it'll be a miracle.
2. Being sick in the summer sucks. When weather.com says it's 93deg, and feels like 97, the last thing you want to do is curl up under a blanket and sleep until you feel better. What you really want to do is plunge yourself into an ice bath. That won't make you feel better either.
3. And speaking of sleep.. when it's 85 degrees at midnight, and the fan is on and all the windows are open, don't expect to sleep. Forget that you are exausted and sick.. sleep will evade you. All. Night. Long.
4. When your nose and head are all stuffy.. and you can't smell much and your taste buds have gone on vacation... you WILL smell the skunk that has wandered into your back yard. And it will smell horrible.
5. When mom's down for the count, everyone else is "bored" and mopey. Until this weekend I didn't realize I was such a source of entertainment for my household. You'd think for 2 days everyone could just find something productive to do with themselves. No such luck.

Tax credit apartments HUD compliance problems
There are thousands of affordable housing apartments going up across the country. They are also known as "low income housing tax credit" properties; admission and rent is based on an applicants' income as well as a median formula for the part of the country. The apartments can be valued at over 00 per month. Applicants are offered a reduced rent (example 0-800) in exchange for the owner complying with HUD regulations; the owner receives tax credits for keeping the rent low. Rittenhouse Square of Los Angeles receives public tax credits and was created with public local, state, and federal funds. The poster and photo were created by the owner of this Youtube site. Rittenhouse is operated by Thomas Safran Associates of Brentwood, California and has been charged with non-compliance with HUD 4350 procedures and 24 CFR 5.609 regulations. Government officials have admitted that there is no agency set up to take complaints from applicants to these apartments. Applicants have no equal protection under the law. Tax credit apartment properties were created by Congress in 1989.I f you apply for affordable low income tax credit apartments, the owner must consider about 16 exclusions to income [see 24 CFR 5.609(a)]. Each state has its own agency that gives out the millions in tax credits and is supposed to "monitor" these properties for compliance. See the tax credit allocation committee's website or call 916-654-6340. The committee, government employees, claim they do not help …

RACISM IN AMERICA: Seems like many people are not paying attention to racism in this country. Seems like maybe people don't feel the plight of people of color affect people not of color. Of course who wants to be treated like a Black person. That is why there is a choice on this site that more people will identify with a car than they will with the people mandated to sell and maintain the car. Glamor over substance. Won't you please join us for tea and discrimination at Hyundai Motor America.
As of today's date there have been 806 visits to this video! Thanks! Please see under the video description the income limit information for 2012 and link to the HUD site for reference.
As of today's date there have been 271 viewers to this site. Thanks.
The most important defense to an action for defamation is "truth", which is an absolute defense to an action for defamation. A defense recognized… is "opinion". If the person makes a statement of opinion as opposed to fact, the statement may not support a cause of action for defamation. A defense similar to opinion is "fair comment on a matter of public interest". Note: In California the tax credit allocation committee supervises all tax credit properties like Thomas Safran Associates'.
Mr. Spert: Typically, the elements of a cause of action for defamation include:
1. A false and defamatory statement concerning another;
2. The unprivileged publication of the statement to a third party (that is, somebody other than the person defamed by the statement);
3. If the defamatory matter is of public concern, fault amounting at least to negligence on the part of the publisher; and
4. Damage to the plaintiff.
The spertuslaw knows retaliation, because someone has opposed discrimination, is unlawful. I encourage viewers to go the other websites and read the documents. Can you guess who the government supervisor of TSA is? Should TSA be allowed to destroy the applications of Blacks? Call the tax credit allocation committee at 916-653-2995 and give your opinion about TSA and should they be allowed to ignore federal regulations by not excluding sporadic income.
To "Spertuslaw": Evidence of TSA's actions has been turned over to the United States Congress (Senator Diane Feinstein and others) and the IRS. HUD policy says in black and white (and federal regulations say in black and white) that the income of Black citizen Johnson was within the limits, not over. TSA has been charged in writing repeatedly with fraud, unfair business practices, deceptive business practices, and non-compliance with HUD 4350 and 24 CFR 5.609.
It seems "spertuslaw" disagrees with the views of this site. Using government monies in an unauthorized manner as in tax credit properties such as TSA is a crime that can be reported as fraud and prosecuted as such by the United States Attorney General.
It seems "spertuslaw" disagrees with the views of this site. As he has my contact info, I encourage him/her to make their views known with specificity. He has made a blanket statement with no facts to back it up. The info on this site is based on written documents to or from government officials as well as to Thomas Safran Associates.
This Video contains false and defamatory statements about Thomas Safran and his company that are patently untrue. The Video was posted by legaladvocate71 (Geary Johnson) who was denied low income housing because his income was too high. He responded posting this defamatory video claiming that Thomas Safran has been charged with crimes and has violated the laws, which is not true and is defamatory. Please help by taking down this Video. Thank you.

Employment Practices Liability Insurance
Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, and Palm Coast, Florida
Insurance varies tremendously among insurers for employment practices liability insurance (EPLI). The companies that provide the coverage are known to sometimes assist the insured in writing policy and procedure manuals to reduce potential claims involving sexual harassment, wrongful termination, or discrimination. Do not make the mistake of believing your business is immune from these type of claims.
Why Do We Need EPLI?
Hiring and firing can be difficult decisions that result in problems for a business, which is why employment practices liability insurance was developed. Clear, consistent policies that are applied to each employee and that directly relate to their job are of paramount importance.
Legal issues that might be covered by EPLI are not all black and white - there are many gray areas. Action by a business could depend upon circumstances such as employee's specific duties, the driving of a company vehicle, or direct involvement with customers. Consult with your insurance agent to make sure you have the right coverage.
Along with an EPLI policy, you are encouraged to document essential job functions, establish measurable standards, maintain regular performance reviews, and apply standards equally to each employee. The best defense against employment practice claims is to know the law and put policies in place that meet or exceed legal standards.
Contact Mitchell Noel Insurance today for a free EPLI insurance quote.

This Swedish Cake Brand Got Creative With 'Alternative Facts'
A Post-Truth Approach From Delicato
By Alexandra Jardine. Published on Jan 26, 2017
Editor's Pick
Following the row over the "alternative facts" about numbers at President Trump's inauguration, it seems marketers from other countries haven't been afraid to get on the bandwagon.
Over in Sweden, cake brand Delicato created an ad that presents as an "alternative fact" that 13.2 million Swedes eat a Delicato cake every day. Sweden's population has just passed 10 million.
The print ad, by DDB Stockholm, has gone viral on Facebook, and is also appearing in Swedish magazine Fokus.

where we live
I love where we live.
It hits me at times like this.
When Brooklyn pedals her bike,
and Ellie pulls Leighton in the wagon
3 short blocks to our neighborhood park
in the middle of the day,
in the middle of the summer,
in a warmish 70-some degrees.
No complaints here.

(You say it CUE-lit.)
The culets I possess are tiny, I must admit. And they're inside a cage of platinum.
So what are culets?
A culet is the small flat surface at the bottom of a gem. It's there to make it less likely that the stone will get damaged, as it might if it got knocked on a pointy bit.
You can see a culet at the bottom of this diagram of the facets of a gem. It's worth looking the whole diagram, because the names of the facets are gorgeous.
Of course you may not have a diamond handy - and if you have, it may not have a culet - but there's still some faint hope of spotting one because a culet is also one of the plates on a suit of armour that cover the back from the waist downwards.
Except that...um. Yes, sorry. People in suits of armour aren't to be seen all over the place, I must admit.
It really would be easier to talk nicely to a married or engaged lady, wouldn't it. Or have a look in a jewellery shop.
Anyway, there we are. Two culets linked by...
Spot the frippet: culet. This word comes from the French cul, from the Latin cūlus, which are both slightly rude words for bottom.

Kourtney Kardashian is the famed babe of the tinsel town. She is the elder sister of the supremely famous and notorious reality star Kim Kardashian whose super hotness and voluptuously sexy figure with bigger assets and d-shaped derriere always put her on the headlines. Well, Kourtney has given birth to her second child now and post the baby birth she could not drop the extra flesh as she had done post the first pregnancy.
She is worried a lot about that. She was there for a latest bikini photo shoot but she was conscious to slip into the bikini due to her belly flesh and veiny boobs.
The 33-year-old babe is not accepting her fleshy figure at all. She is the mother of two – Mason, 3, and Penelope who she gave birth in July last year.
She says on the shoot that her belly is much flabby and boobs are so veiny since the milk is inside them. She was getting frustrated. Well, guys seeing her post baby figure, it doesn't appear that she is plump at all since she is fit and looks utterly sexy.

Cycling and ID'ing in Prospect Park
One of my favorites. Sweetgum, Liquidambar styraciflua, near the hill by zoo.
A witchhazel, Hamemelis, not sure of species, near zoo fence and sweetgum. I know there's some Hammemelis virginiana on the other side of the road. I saw it blooming last November.
Liriodendrum tulipifera, Tulip Tree. This one is on the west loop. I saw it blooming this year on May 10. There are a number of beautiful ones in the park.
Eastern Redbud, Cercis canadensis, top of hill above lawn. There are a few scattered throughout the park.
Also seen: Dawn Redwood, Metasequoia glyptostroboides near bottom of loop near pond. Various Yellowoods, Cladrastis kentukea which were in bloom here on May 15. Horsechestnut at bottom of loop, Oxydendrum aroboreum on east end behind the lawn they play soccer on and Kwanzan cherries at Grand Army Plaza Entrance. I think there's a Cryptomeria japonica here at the entrance too. At least that's what it looked like to me. I guess sometimes cycling is about horticulture. It was last night.

The big city certainly has a lot to offer. From miles of fabulous shopping to one great Lake. Of all the wonderful and exciting things I've found here though, it does still hold a pretty large void. Not a big, sometimes loud, often times found drinking, occasionally dramatic, always hilarious, and undoubtably supportive family to be found on any corner!
It's the little things that make a big difference. So to my parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and all you cousins know that I'm missing you lots all the way from Chicago!

Simon Says Fusion
Here's another sneak peak at a new stamp set from Close To My Heart. I used the Jubilee papers with some retired Dakota papers (we will have a new paperpack with a woodgrain pattern on it called Timberline!). I wanted to play along with the Fusion Card Challenge again and I chose to use both the sketch and the colours for inspiration this time. It is also my first time playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and this week the challenge was to Emboss It. I chose heat embossing on my card.
Stamp set - Give A Lift (CTMH); patterned papers - Jubilee, Dakota (CTMH);
cardstock - Honey, Colonial White (CTMH). Shapes cut from Cricut Artbooking cartridge (CTMH).

Better Times
I'm home sick (and homesick) these days, curling up in our sofa with coffee and magazines, wrapped in blankets and feeling sorry for myself. Despite being aware that it's my birthday in three days, it just dawned on me that it's December. Where did this year go?
We have stars in our window
Anna is celebrating Christmas in the apartment and bought a little tree this weekend. It's not the most decorated tree, but it's sort of cute.
This is my base today. I plan on not getting up for a few hours, and so far I have everything I need; blankets, magazines, coffee and my computer with music. The sofa is a bed now, after people broke the legs at the party on Saturday. But we actually like it better like this.

An asteroid hitting the Earth was more predictable than the news we heard this past weekend: George Clooney is reportedly engaged—what the what what?! Let's look back at some of his past Hollywood ladies who led him to THE ONE.
George Clooney, Hollywood's most famous bachelor, reportedly got engaged to 36-year-old British humanitarian lawyer Amal Alamuddin. (We've seen it all, we can die now…)
Alamuddin, who has represented WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, is a huge departure from Clooney's past ladies, who've been of the same Hollywood breed as him.
As a celebration of love—and shaking off our shock and disbelief—let's look at George's past leading ladies who just didn't make the (diamond) cut.

The enemy landed and overpowered us in no time. Most of the Librarians escaped – they had regularly been tending to a planet to ultimately live on once they were ready: the planet of Books where all the words of all the universes are looked after. The only librarians that remained living on Cajoon were our teachers and their apprentices who were all killed by Spinostress, the master-controller of the invasion and I was made prisoner along with my peers. Spinostress doesn't discriminate, she'll conquer anything that she can lay her hands on and cumulate. With Cajoon's assets on her mind, we could not possibly escape her ruling. You've met her; you know what she's like. All about her is about dominating, conquering, crushing, annihilating."
"Where are the others?" the Captain asks, "were you the only one to survive?"
"I was young and she knew she could train me to be one of hers and that's what she did. Some of the old folks managed to escape and hid for as long as they could, whereas the others were either killed in battle or used as slaves to subjugate Cajoon to Spinostress' rules."
"What happened to your family?" the King asks.
"They survived for a while."
"I'd bet my wings that you had something to do with your own family's disappearance," Labaguette mutters.
More sparkles and small flames lick the edge of the bucket in which the Commander's head rests.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he bellows.

Media fellowship week 1: Countryfile
"But surely there is some kind of mistake" you might ask, "what are you doing a television studio – don't you do seaweed studies or penguin counting or something?" I'm here because I have been awarded a Media Fellowship by the British Science Association (formerly known as the British Association, or BA, before the confusion with a well known airline got too much).
In what might best be described as 'work experience for grown-ups' I am going to spend six weeks working at Countryfile in order to learn how 'the media' works. The aim of the Fellowship scheme is to improve understanding and communication between scientists and journalists. The hope is that I'll return to academia and spread the word that journalists do not all have horns and a trident and are quite nice actually, so long as we talk to them in a sensible language (by which I mean plain English, not jargon, obscenities or pirate).
So far, my duties at Countryfile have included watching a safety video in which Anthea Turner's hair catches fire, opening nearly a thousand entries to the photo competition (in total there were more than 30,000 entries) and racking my brains for interesting rural story ideas. And yes, I did get to meet John Craven; I went to watch his commentary being dubbed over some underwater footage for a piece on marine nature reserves.

A few personal thoughts on the process of creating sculpture:
'Pelagos' by Barbara Hepworth: Infinite curves parallel breaking waves; tensioned strings fight like ripping pebbles in the suction of an undertow; a metaphor for the wild Cornish coast.
The first time I saw 'Pelagos' it truly captivated me. The first time I saw 'Pelagos' I knew nothing of its Cornish coastal metaphors; it was just myself gripped by an unfamiliar sculpture. The first time I saw 'Pelagos' I didn't know its name; I saw it just as it was in its purist form. The first time I saw 'Pelagos' I remembered the words of Robert Irwin 'Seeing something is forgetting (or in this case not knowing) the name of the thing one sees'. There's no logical reason why anyone connects with one particular thing; it seems to come directly from the subconscious; something just 'clicks'.
I've always found Sculpture fascinating. It can encompass, evoke or represent almost any thought or feeling the mind can create. I liken it to a polygonal picture with infinite sides. It tells a story by movement and interaction of the viewer, not only in time and space, but visually, emotionally and physically.
Personally I feel art movements are most purely defined when newly emerging. Barbara Hepworth was an early experimenter of Modern Sculpture and the use of abstraction. 'Pelagos' describes such an abstraction in its pure untarnished modernist form.
Literal interpretation requires a close representation of the subject. Conceptualism or abstraction is derived from freedom of thought without preconceived restraints. With this linked so closely to personal interpretation and emotion, I find instinct, imagination and the phenomenological my path to creativity.
My sculptures resonate from many years living in the New Forest. I had an early affinity to the Keyhaven coastal marshes and spreading heaths of the 'Forest'. I feel an inescapable oneness in these wide open landscapes, an emanation of life and energy and a space for the mind to work freely.
My familiarity as a garden designer, led me to begin making garden sculpture. I've always seen plants and garden forms as sculpture in their own right; the individual garden spaces like rooms in a gallery.
I now work mainly with alabaster, onyx and soapstone's combining them with copper and other soft metals. Alabaster's opaqueness gives it the added dimension of light and depth. Copper has the earthy quality of acquiring the velvet sea green patina of Verdigris.
I'm a true believer of Henry Moore's philosophy of 'Truth to Material'. It's the choice of what finish best describes the subject and simultaneously best describes the stone. It's the choice of what to remove and what to keep. I always see how much of the natural surface can be preserved. There's a complex natural perfection here of colour, pattern and texture that can't be replicated. Personally I feel it's too valuable to remove or deface it. Time and careful consideration is needed to embrace this quality rather than simply removing it.
Ideas or concepts can emerge from many sources and derive even from seemingly unrelated thoughts or experiences. Sometimes it's the feeling of a piece of music or seeing a shape suggested in a piece of stone. Sometimes it's something quite arbitrary like the diffusion of smoke in the breeze. Sometimes it's holding a concept in the mind and allowing it to develop freely in a 'thought bank', when later, an idea might suddenly be triggered. Sometimes it's like a simultaneous reaction of thoughts and feelings that quickly turn into a strong efficacious image in the mind.
It's useful to remember that unexpected experiences might also provide unexpected and exciting answers.
The process is an emotional synergy of thought, action and material. I like to approach new sculptures with, as far as possible, the raw original untainted image fresh in my mind. I find the distraction of a single plane, like a piece of paper or a screen, often loses the clear spontaneity of the initial concept.
It is of course necessary with complex or large commission, to proceed in a structured and pragmatic way, as with the above scale images. Most importantly it's keeping that spark of life, energy and emotion that were created at the point of conception.
The process of creation from thought to form is often a series of challenges. Most pieces are unique. Creativity is needed to overcome often new complex techniques and practical issues. Turning problems into solutions is a useful asset.
There are many reasons for being a sculptor. It's a cathartic process of personal feeling and expression. To create something unique, that's born from pure thought, is a magical thing. To quote Immanuel Kant, 'I always desire to create beautiful form' although some may argue there's a strange brutal beautify in what maybe commonly defined as 'Ugly'.
Creating a sculpture feels like giving something inanimate purpose and life. From this position I can only ever have the view point of the creator, so I'm always curious about the observer's perspective. I like the edge; the split second of an observer's first reactions. As a creator of visual art you can't escape the viewer's spontaneity in the phenomenological guise of simply 'like' or 'dislike'; the first reaction with only subconscious intuition before conscious preconceptions and structured thought begin. It's when you have the realisation that your work has connected with someone else's mind and created a whole new unique series of thoughts and feelings.

Well I am back from my CHRISTMAS vacation, yes I said CHRISTMAS, not holiday. It is indeed a holiday but the word holiday is descriptive, not a noun. My wife and I decided to get out of town this year, way out of town. Out of the country in fact. All the way to Jamaica. We stayed in one of those all-inclusive resorts. Had a very good time. One of the things I like best about an all-inclusive is that they are all inclusive. You are not reaching into your wallet every 5 minutes for every little thing that you want to do. Included in your stay is food and drink (to include alcohol), the room and activities. In our case activities included a wide variety of non-motorized activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, swimming, volleyball, etc. One of the things that I liked about the place that we stayed is that at 11:00PM sharp, the outdoor shows end and silence takes over. There was at least one club that was always open so those that wanted to party-on could but those of us that wanted to or needed to sleep, could too. As with most vacations, it was a bit too short.
Got to play with a new video camera that we got just in time to take with us. A Sony DVRDVD403. Was very nice. Uses mini-DVDs. Either DVD-R, DVD-RW or DVD+RW. Each has different benefits and features. The camera takes videos and stills at 3 mega-pixels and has a number of very nice features. I just wish the zoom was better, more like that on the DVRDVD92.

CTS in Norway
Although Norway ranks as one of the smallest European countries in terms of population, it nevertheless has a thriving AV industry.
Although Norway ranks as one of the smallest European countries in terms of population, it nevertheless has a thriving AV industry.
When Alan Taylor, CTS®, joined UK systems integrator avsnet in early 2015, one of the first things on his mind was to get the company's 50 or so technical and service staff CTS-certified.
In her nearly 20 years in the AV industry, Electrosonic's Sarah Joyce has worked in a variety of disciplines, including sales, account management, business development, general management, product marketing and human resources.
On the surface, a standard to define how cables should be labeled in audiovisual systems might not sound like the most exciting thing in the world.
John Rice is Senior Business Development Manager at Field Nation and the recently elected Chair of AVIXA's Independent Technical Services (ITS) Council. The council represents small businesses that supply services to the AV industry.
Wallace Johnson, CTS®, is the Vice-President of Business Development at MertzCrew and the elected Chair of AVIXA's Live Events Council. He recently talked to us about this new role and his AV career to date.
Although she was aware the award existed and knew other women who had been recognized in the past, Wendy Cox, CTS® had no clue that one of her colleagues had nominated her for the 2015 Women in AV award.
Penny Sitler, CDT, LEED® AP, is the Marketing Manager at Draper, Inc., and the elected Chair of the AVIXA Women's Council. She recently talked to us about this new role and her AV career to date.
SiteReady Design principal Heather Callaway, CTS-D®, RCDD, LEED AP, is a familiar face to many AVIXA members. She volunteers on both the Marketing Subcommittee and the CTS-D Certification Committ
When IT Support Coordinator Maneesh Kumar, CTS®, made the switch from control systems programmer in commercial AV to managing AV at a community college — the College of Lake County, in Grayslake, Illinois — for a time, his entire world was turned on its head.
When Jennifer Hu, CTS®, graduated and got her first job in the AV industry, her first question for her new employer was "Is there anything I should do before I start?"
For Canadian AV designer Jason Antinori, CTS®-D, a volunteer opportunity with AVIXA as a subject matter expert back in 2011 led to him becoming a vital international voice within AVIXA's Standards Group.
AV technology has become progressively more complex. And these days, more live events are utilizing that complex technology. The result? A growing call for greater training in AV systems and solutions by a wider range of live-events professionals.

The Christmas ham
-a meaty ham bone for tonight's Minnestrone soup
-a bag of ham cubes for this Tuesday's baked macaroni and cheese with ham
-a bag of many slices of ham for sandwiches, omelettes, what have you
Ham is a very economical meat protein for me, even with recent price increases. I was patient and ended up finally getting one for a decent price, although not my usual, rock bottom price. I am stretching it as far as it will go. http://ctonabudget.blogspot.com/2014/12/image-i-have-always-aimed-to-complete.htmlMeat prices are frightening.

Japan minister sorry as 6,000 police hunt fugitive thief
Posted on 17 April 2018 - 03:22pm
TOKYO: A Japanese minister apologised Tuesday over the escape of a "model" inmate who fled an open prison more than a week ago, as the number of police hunting him passed 6,000.
About 6,600 police officers are now engaged in a fruitless manhunt for 27-year-old Tatsuma Hirao, who was serving time for multiple thefts, according to officials.
The case is making headline news in Japan with TV channels picking over the manhunt in minute detail.
Hirao gave guards the slip on April 8, vanishing from the facility, an "open institution" where inmates can walk around freely.
Police have detected the fugitive's fingerprints and several thefts have been reported since his escape but he remains on the lam.
The stolen items include socks, a mobile phone, a wallet, a pair of sandals and a car key, whose owner found a polite note — apparently from the fugitive — saying: "I'm borrowing your car but I'll never damage it".
The country's justice minister felt the need to apologise for the difficulties in recapturing the criminal, saying: "I heard the incident has caused anxiety among local residents, especially since there are many elderly people living alone ... I feel truly sorry".
The minister, Yoko Kawakami, added that 96 prison officers had been assigned around the clock to protect schools on Mukaishima island in southwestern Japan, where the fugitive is believed to be hiding.
Slowing the search is the fact that there are about 1,000 vacant houses on the island, but police need permission from owners each time they search inside, according to the Mainichi Shimbun.
The hilly landscape also prevents officers from spotting the convict from a helicopter, the paper said.
The island is about 22km² in area with a population of around 22,000.
"Terror and anxiety on a peaceful island," headlined Fuji TV, presenting a panel discussion about the case.
A total of 21 inmates have escaped since the opening of the prison in 1961.
Japan enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the developed world but has a relatively high re-offending rate. — AFP

A Waterfront Revival in Columbus, Ohio - We made the NY Times
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A decade ago, a 75-acre area along the Scioto River less than a mile west of this capital city's downtown was an industrial no man's land, consisting of barren railyards, old warehouses and a shuttered 19th-century penitentiary. But that was before Nationwide Realty Investors, an affiliate of Nationwide Mutual Insurance, turned the area into the Arena District.
The district, a $750 million mixed-use neighborhood of housing, offices, retailing and entertainment, has attracted some of the city's most prominent architecture, law, real estate development and advertising firms and is regarded as one of the Midwest's most successful urban redevelopment projects.

HARD rockers Disturbed are back with a fourth effort, Indestructable.
Demonstrating the Chigaco group's trademark pummelling riffs and throbbing bass-heavy beats as well as a frontman as powerful vocally as ever in David Dreiman, on paper Indestructable is hard to beat.
Indeed, fans of the band will lap up tracks like the brutal Inside The Fire and the incendiary Perfect Insanity like a baby on a teat.
However for me the group, who are appearing at this year's Download in Castle Donington this month, despite the riffing and postering and scary artwork, remain too safe.
The same way that being strapped down on a rollercoaster dulls the excitement, Disturbed are so polished you can see your face in them, where they need to retain a rawness and a sense of danger.

Most hair stylists would tell you that towel-drying your hair is not ideal, but you still see them doing it in the salons and wonder why. The reason is simple: When they towel-dry your hair, they don't rub your hair to wick away the moisture. Instead, they pat it down, hence reducing the friction that causes damage to your hair.
But come on, ain't nobody got time to gently pat down our wet strands in the morning when you're rushing for work. Which is why, most of the time, we end up vigorously rubbing our hair between the towel yo avoid doing more work when it comes to blow-drying our mane. And, of course, most of the time, we end up with frizzy and damaged hair.
The good news is, you can still towel-dry your hair without damaging it! All you have to do is invest in a hair turban – or a towel for the hair that snugly fits around your head. Here are six to consider.

FoxNews.com:Judge Shows Former Border Agent No Mercy in New Sentencing for Shooting
A former Border Patrol agent's lengthy sentence for shooting a fleeing drug smuggler had been described as extreme by his supporters, but a federal judge showed no mercy Wednesday at the former agent's resentencing hearing in El Paso, Texas.
The judge upheld Jose Alonso Compean's original punishment and resentenced him to 10 years in prison for his conviction on a charge of using a weapon in the commission of a felony and another two years in prison for assault and other charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Compean's attorneys plan to turn to the Supreme Court for a review of the case. Bob Baskett, an attorney for Compean, did not immediately return a call for comment from FOXNews.com.
I know he refused to pardon them in the past. I'm also pretty sure hope'n'change won't. Now's the time - big W. I urge my 3 readers to call and send letters to whomever they can to advocate a pardon for those two.

Observing, defending and befriending these marvelous creatures was both mission and passion for her and now is the subject of a film starring Sigourney Weaver and co-starring Bryan Brown. The best reason to see the movie, however, is for the footage of the gorillas. They are, under any circumstances, awesome to behold. Watching these curious beasts doesn't tell you enough about why Fossey went to the mountains, but it certainly is a start.
