June 1, 2009
NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's tennis team earned eight post-season awards, including three major honors, when the Little East Conference released their 2009 All-Conference Team.
Four Corsairs earned first team All-LEC honors, including sophomore Mason Viau (Marion, MA/Bishop Hendricken HS/Connecticut, who was named LEC Player of the Year, and freshman Troy Pandolfi (Danbury, CT/Danbury HS), who was named Rookie of the Year. Viau earned first team All-Conference honors at number one singles, Pandolfi was named first team at number two singles, junior Ken Sims (Chelmsford, MA/ Chelmsford HS) was named first team at number five singles, and Viau and senior Christoph Forster (Reading, MA/Reading HS) were named first team All-LEC at number two doubles. Freshman Karsten Rathlev (Winchester, MA/Winchester HS) was named second team All-Conference at number three singles, and Head Coach Tom Mendell was named LEC Coach of the Year.
Viau went 11-1 in singles this spring, winning his first 10 matches, including all six LEC matches, before losing to Salem State's Adrien Malosse in the LEC championship match. He defeated Neumann's David Pfister at number one singles in the Corsairs' NCAA Tournament win against Neumann, and his match against Williams in the second round was not finished. In doubles, Viau and Forster went 4-0 at number two doubles in the LEC and were 5-1 overall, splitting a pair of matches at the number one doubles position. They were 11-2 overall in doubles, winning their NCAA Tournament first round match against Neumann and falling to Williams, 8-6, in the second round. Forster was UMass Dartmouth's captain this season.
Pandolfi went 9-1 overall in singles this season, posting a 6-0 mark at number two singles in the Little East, winning five of his six conference matches in straight sets and the other one in a third-set super-tiebreaker. He defeated Bridgewater State's Duncan Yarworth in three sets in the LEC semi-finals. That was the only one of his post-season matches that was finished. Sims was 9-2 in singles, winning all six of his LEC matches. Five of his victories came at number five singles, with the sixth at number three. He defeated Salem State's David Leete at number five singles in the LEC championship match, and lost to Kevin Shallcross of Williams in the NCAAs.
Rathlev was 11-1 in singles, losing only to Alex Eisath of Salem State in the regular season match between the Corsairs and Vikings. He went 4-1 at number three singles in Little East competition, and won post-season matches against Rhode Island College, Bridgewater State, Salem State and Neumann.
Mendell led the Corsairs to the LEC championship for the second time in his seven-year tenure as head coach, and led UMass Dartmouth to their first appearance and first victory ever in the NCAA Division III Championships. The Corsairs were 13-2 and set a record for the most victories in a season by the program, and Mendell's record in seven years as head coach is now 39-38.
"Our players' awards are all well-deserved," said Mendell. "I was super pleased, they all put a lot of effort into it and it paid off. They were just a great bunch, they worked very hard, and it paid off. Hopefully, we can replace the players who are graduating and continue our success."
"Tom's honor is well-deserved, and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy," said UMass Dartmouth Director of Athletics Ian Day. "Our team's success speaks for itself. For us to come this far this quickly is great, and I hope that we can continue to be successful."
The awards marked a sweep of the three major individual awards by the UMass Dartmouth tennis teams this season. Sophomore Amy Lopes (Dartmouth, MA/ Dartmouth HS) was named LEC Women's Tennis Player of the Year last fall, freshman Kelsey Grossmann (Holliston, MA/Holliston HS) was named LEC Rookie of the Year, and Head Coach Ralph Perry was named Coach of the Year. The women's team also advanced to the NCAAs for the first time ever.

Hornets' Monty Williams fined for concussion comments
NEW YORK (AP) — New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Tuesday for public comments criticizing the league's concussion policy.
Williams made the comments Saturday night in Chicago before the Hornets faced the Bulls with first overall draft pick Anthony Davis sidelined by a mild concussion.
Williams blasted the NBA's protocols for determining when a player can return from a concussion, saying, "Now, they treat everybody like they have white gloves and pink drawers and it's getting old. It's just the way the league is now."

MIAMI - Feed the Children and PepsiCo brought two tractor trailers full of food to 800 families in Miami on Wednesday.
Volunteers delivered 25-pound boxes of food and 10-pound boxes of personal care items to families at the Overtown Youth Center.
The distribution was the latest stop for the Feed the Children's Americans Feeding Americans Caravan, which has helped more than 425,000 families across the county since 2009.
"It means Thanksgiving dinner. That's what it means," said one woman picking up her food.
"It's real important. There's so many families that are in need right now, especially in Miami-Dade County, and we're so fortunate we can be here today to feed over 800 families for a week," said Fred Gongola, one of the organizers.
According to Feed the Children, 45 percent of children in Miami live below the poverty line.
About 75 families were turned away because their church had already given away its vouchers for the food giveaway despite those families signing up Wednesday morning.
"Well, it could be a little more organized but they're doing the best they can and God bless them for it," said Linda Rios.

Steve Brill Wins Sidney Award for Time Article Exposing Price Gouging in Medical Care
By: Press Release | The Sidney Hillman Foundation
NEW YORK – Today, The Sidney Hillman Foundation announced that Steve Brill won the March Sidney Award for his TIME magazine feature, Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us.
The longest article the magazine has ever published, the 24,105-word feature explains the bewildering world of hospital billing. Brill spent seven months decoding the medical bills of real patients in an attempt to understand what patients get for the estimated $2.8 trillion we will spend on health care in the U.S. this year.
Brill found hospitals charging $1.50 for a single generic Tylenol pill, $32 for the rental of a reusable blanket, and $13,702 for a drug that cost the hospital only $400. All are part of a three-tiered system that offers deep discounts to Medicare and lesser breaks to private insurers but charges uninsured individuals full price or more.
"[H]ealth care is – except when Medicare is the buyer – a lopsided seller's market," Steven Brill explained in a Reuters article that explain his report. "That became clear at both ends of the money trails I followed – from the patients' lack of any knowledge of what they were buying or its prices, much less any leverage to bargain over it, to the sellers' ability and willingness to charge absurdly high prices on everything from gauze pads to ambulance services to cancer wonder drugs."
Many ostensibly non-profit hospitals are raking in even larger profits than their for-profit counterparts. These profits get reinvested in bigger buildings and more medical equipment, which encourage doctors to order even more tests, which generate even more profit for the hospitals.
"In other words, everyone along the supply chain – from hospital administrators (who enjoy multimillion-dollar salaries) to the salesmen, executives and shareholders of drug and equipment makers – was reaping a bonanza," Brill said. "The only exceptions, I found, were those actually treating the patients – the nurses and doctors (unless the doctors were gaming the system by reaping consulting fees from drug or device makers or setting up diagnostic clinics in their practices in order to steer patients there for expensive tests)."
"We all know how expensive a trip to the hospital can be," said Sidney Award judge Lindsay Beyerstein. "Brill's article is an unusually detailed and multifaceted explanation of why medical bills are so high."

Infantile spasms (West syndrome) are muscle spasms that affect a
child's head, torso, and limbs. Infantile spasms usually begin before the age
of 6 months.
Infantile spasms are treated with adrenocorticotropic hormone (Acthar)
or prednisone. They generally do not respond well to medicines used to treat
epilepsy. Vigabatrin (Sabril) may also be an effective
treatment for infantile spasms especially when they are caused by a disease
called tuberous sclerosis.

What a sweet picture of you two!
How cute!
I had a cat that helped me to get rid of small gifts that I hated - I really appreciated the people and the way they gave me those things, but I DON'T WANT figurines of animals or tiny glass vases or boxes that have no practical use. I put most of those things on top of the bookcase and when MauMau passed by she threw everything on the floor, and broke most of it. A wonderful, guiltfree solution!
I had a lot of cats help me with homework, by sitting on the book.
Do they ever! I don't think the printer would even print without a cat sitting on it. (Beautiful cat, Ruth.)
Yeah... we did our furry masters friends a great disservice by replacing those most excellent butt-warming devices known as CRT monitors!
And of course both cats lie in the wardrobe on top of the towels when they get the chance: so that I can skip the ironing...
And when they sleep on your bed just before you get in it, it is so warm.

|Halotestin is a synthetic anabolic steroid that has potent androgenic properties. Halotestin has been shown to increase the growth and development of male sex organs and develop secondary sex characteristics.
|It can also increase protein anabolism, decrease protein catabolism and leads to positive nitrogen balance when sufficient calories are provided. Further, the steroid has the ability to stimulate the production of red blood cells by releasing erythropoietin from the kidneys. This leads to more hemoglobin and extra oxygen carrying capacity.
|Halotestin is a very potent androgen and it is rapidly establishing itself as the anabolic drug of choice among many athletes. This synthetic drug has many ideal features for many bodybuilders. It is rapidly acting, is not converted to estrogen and can lead to significant improvement in exercise performance. Aggression and strength are two key features of the drug which have made it quite famous.
|Halotestin is indicated for the treatment of disorders where there is a deficiency or absence of testosterone. These testosterone deficiency conditions include:
|In females, Halotestin is also used to treat several disorders which include:
The dose of Halotestin is usually influenced by the condition. It is usually administered in divided doses of 5-20 mg/day. The general principle is to give the highest dose and then taper it down once the response has been obtained. The repeat doses over the day ensure that the blood levels remain high for the 24 hr period. Depending on the condition, most individuals receive this drug for 1 -6 months. Halotestin is only available as a tablet of 2, 5, or 10 mg.
Side effects
Like all androgenic steroids, Halotestin also has a fair number of side effects. These side effects do not occur in all individuals. While the side effects are rare, they are more prominent when the treatment is prolonged. The side effects include:
Unfortunately clitoral enlargement is always not irreversible even after stopping treatment.
Halotestin should be used with great caution in people with breast cancer as it can cause hypercalcemia. Long term use has been associated with development of liver cancer.
In children, Halotestin can accelerate bone development with out compensating for gains in linear growth- resulting in grotesque features.
|Halotestin should not be used in individuals who have:
|The majority of bodybuilders use a slightly higher dose than what is used for medical patients. The most common dose is around 20-30 mg/day divided in 2-4 small doses. Some individuals take as much as 40 mg/day. The drug is taken with food and lots of water to prevent stomach cramps. Halotestin is easily absorbed from the stomach. Some individuals also combine Halotestin with other anabolic steroids to potentiate the effects. The most common combination is Winstrol, Anavar and Anadrol. Others have combined injectable testosterone preparations with Halotestin.
Most bodybuilders claim that the weight gain is obvious at around 3-4 weeks. Further, there is also an improvement in exercise performance. However, when the drug is stopped, the weight gain does decline with time. To ensure that the weight gain remains, others go on a low dose Clomid cycle for 2-3 weeks.
Unlike many other anabolic steroids, Halotestin is typically used for only a few weeks and not months. However, even though it does not have estrogen activity, it does have other potent side effects which limit its long term use.
The drug can be taken in orally and is rapidly absorbed from the stomach. The half life is about 9 hrs meaning that it can still be detected in the body for about 4-6 days.
Halotestin is not easily available on the black market. There are several Halotestin products out there made by the French, Greek and Italians. Halotestin when available is not cheap either. Each tablet of 5/10 mg is frequently sold for a dollar or more. The increasing market for this product has also created a list of fake products, especially from the Far East. So always get your Halotestin from a reputable dealer.
After a single dose, Halotestin can be detected in the urine for up to 4-6 days. However, advances in development have led to tests that can detect the metabolites of Halotestin for up to 45-60 days after the last dose. The drug is best used in preseason since the chances of undergoing testing are low.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia mayor says no smoke detector was working when a fire erupted inside a home, killing six children and two adults in what he says is the city's deadliest fire in six decades.
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones tells The Associated Press only one smoke detector was found in a cabinet, and it was not working. A woman and a baby were also hurt in the blaze early Sunday morning.
Bob Sharp, assistant chief for the Charleston Fire Department, says the injured child is on life support.
It was not immediately clear how the blaze started early Saturday morning at the two-story, wood-frame home near the city's airport.
WCHS-TV says fire officials believe all those who died lived in the home. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Among the developments this week at Chevron's raucous annual shareholder meeting—some surprising, some not so—was the oil company's continuing refusal to settle an $18 billion lawsuit over oil pollution in Ecuador.
A letter from New York state comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and several investor groups urged Chevron to settle case, which has dragged on in various forms since 1993.
Chevron is on trial in Ecuador for widespread contamination of Amazonian land and water resources in the 1970s by Texaco, which Chevron purchased in 2001. Plaintiffs suing Chevron are challenging the adequacy of a remediation effort that Texaco completed in 1998. A court-appointed expert in the Ecuadorian litigation has recommended that Chevron be held liable for up to $27.3 billion in damages. In February, an Ecuadoran judge fined the San Ramon oil major $9.5 billion over oil-field contamination in a portion of the Amazon rain forest where Texaco used to drill, working as a partner with the government-run Petroecuador. The fine could increase to $18 billion.
"Investors don't derive any benefit from this never-ending courtroom drama," DiNapoli said in a press release. "The entire case is looming like a hammer over shareholders' heads." The New York State Common Retirement Fund, which DiNapoli manages, is one of those investors, holding Chevron shares worth a about $780 million.
Chevron considers the lawsuit a scam and a conspiracy to defraud the company. At the San Ramon meeting, CEO John Watson told Atossa Soltani, director of the Amazon Watch nonprofit group, that the company was being "victimized" by the other side's lawyers. Chevron contends Petroecuador bears the main responsibility for the oil spills and other pollution in the jungle. Watson told the shareholders that Texaco cleaned up any contamination it caused.
"Texaco lived up to its obligations," Watson said. "Petroecuador has not lived up to its responsibilities."
Activists at the often acrimonious meeting also said Chevron has failed to live up to its responsibilities in various locations in addition to Ecuador. The protesters also cited Chevron's environmental record in locations such as Angola, the Niger Delta, the Philippines, Myanmar, Kazakhstan and Alberta, Canada.
After the meeting, Ginger Cassady, a campaign director with the Rainforest Action Network, said activists' have launched a concerted effort to intensify the pressure on Chevron. "Our goal at these meetings is to put the spotlight on Chevron's environmental crimes," Cassady said.
"We want to be a force for good everywhere we operate," Watson was quoted saying.
On shareholder proposals, Chevron shareholders voted with the company's recommendations, rejecting proposals to elect a board member with a strong environmental background, link executive pay to environmental sustainability and report on the financial risks of climate change.
A proposal to report on the environmental risks of "fracking" - a controversial process for extracting natural gas from rock with hydraulic drilling - also failed, but garnered nearly 41 percent of shareholder votes, according to preliminary results. That qualifies as a surprise, but maybe not all that major because fracking has generated so much attention in the national press. Also the proposal was for a report, not for substantive action, so the shareholders who voted for it can feel good about demonstrating their concern about the issue.
"The fact that 41 percent of Chevron investors voted in favor of more disclosure, an exceptionally high level of support for a first-year resolution, shows how seriously the company's shareholders are taking this issue," said Michael Passoff, senior strategist with the advocacy group As You Sow. Maybe someday there will be a fracking report.
Chevron is an expert at spin control, delaying tactics, deflecting opposition and making no concessions because that's what multinational oil companies that make billions in profit every quarter at the expense of the environment and the average consumer can do with impunity.

Jered Weaver will make $7.365 million this season in the aftermath of the Angels prevailing in an arbitration hearing held on Wednesday. The decision by the arbitrators was announced on Thursday morning.
Weaver, represented by agent Scott Boras, had been seeking $8.8 million. He was paid $4.625 million in 2010, when he made the American League All-Star team for the first time and placed fifth in the AL Cy Young Award balloting.
In a season of disappointment, Weaver, 28, gave the Angels and their fans something to feel good about on a consistent basis in 2010.
Emerging as an unquestioned, bonafide ace with the departure of mentor and good buddy John Lackey, Weaver excelled from April through September.
His 13-12 record was highly deceiving, the product of poor run support. He led the Major Leagues with 233 strikeouts and finished fifth in the AL in ERA (3.01). He tied for third in the AL in innings pitched (224 1/3), was the sixth-toughest pitcher in the league to hit and had the sixth-best WHIP (walks and hits per inning) in the game.
A slender right-hander from Simi Valley, Calif., who emerged as a dominant pitcher at Long Beach State, Weaver flourished on his home turf. His 1.86 home ERA was the best in the league.
"Jered was terrific from start to finish," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "The one thing a pitcher can't control is wins and losses. Everything else he could control, Jered controlled. With better offensive support, he could have challenged for the league lead in wins.
"He gave us consistency and pitched at a high level the entire season. He didn't weaken at all, even though he exceeded his career high in innings by a large number. He carried his stuff and his competitiveness throughout the season and kept us in the game almost every time out."
Weaver averaged 9.3 K's per nine innings, third in the AL. His 233 K's represented the highest single-season strikeout total by an Angels pitcher since Nolan Ryan notched 260 in 1978.
In half of his 34 starts, the Halos produced three or fewer runs. Eleven times, they scored two or fewer. Ten times, Weaver went at least seven innings and allowed no more than one run.
"I think, overall, I made some good strides this year," Weaver said. "I never even thought about leading the league in strikeouts; that was something that just happened. My goal coming into the season was to pitch 200 innings, and surpassing my career best [211 in 2009] was very satisfying. It showed that I was able to have consistent command and get deeper in games than in the past.
"It was a disappointing season in a lot of respects. We all are frustrated that we didn't perform better as a team. From a personal standpoint, I was able to achieve some things, but this is a team game. And when your team doesn't win, it's hard to feel too good about things."

This question already has an answer here:
I have a D40 camera. When I plan to take pictures that I want to be B/W, what is the best practice?
The truth is that there is a "command line" in the "tool menu" of the camera that transforms the picture taken to B/W, but the result is really not nice. There is almost no contrast, etc... I doesn't look like a BW picture at all. So my guess is that there are some tricks to take pictures that will end in B/W, isn't it?

OAKLEY — Michael Jackson's "Beat It" blared through speakers, revving up the crowd pouring into the gymnasium.
But if any Freedom High School students were dragging Thursday morning, they snapped to attention once Laymon Hicks took charge of the microphone.
"Say, 'I feel great, I'm wide-awake, I feel good — REAL good!'" Hicks boomed as he led hundreds of teens in reciting the snappy catchphrase.
The Tampa, Florida-based inspirational speaker was on the Oakley campus to share lessons about defeat and success in a talk he bills "Get up, get out, and go get it!"
Although just 27, Hicks has experienced plenty of life's highs and lows.
Growing up in a family torn apart by physical abuse, infidelity and divorce, he recalled fearing that his mother would end up behind bars after she tried to kill her husband for cheating on her.
Hicks often experienced the sting of disappointment as well: His absentee father consistently stood him up when he tried to arrange outings, and in a search for acceptance, he kept company with the wrong crowd in middle school in a search for acceptance only to realize that those kids were friends in name only.
Yet despite his troubled family life, Hicks adopted attitudes that enabled him to overcome.
"Don't allow your environment to dictate who you are," he exhorted his audience.
Nor has he allowed his own mistakes to bring him down.
Hicks recounted the time a history teacher gave him an F in the class after catching him about to cheat on a test; the misstep cost him his prized membership in a national honors society as well as the chance to collect his diploma in the white gown reserved for the academic elite.
Weeks of self-recrimination followed until Hicks began reflecting on something his grandmother always told him.
"'When you fall down, you get right back up,'" he said. "Sometimes life is going to knock you down, but you have to be positive."
Hicks pressed forward and became the only black male in his high school graduating class with a grade-point average higher than 4.0.
But there's more to reaching goals than dusting oneself off after a fall — "you have to be huuuungry," Hicks said. "Whatever you want in your life, go get it."
At Florida State University, Hicks encountered criticism from political opponents while running for student body president.
No matter — he continued canvassing the campus in search of votes and ultimately won the right to represent 38,000 students.
On his travels, Hicks shows young people the dress shoes he wore during that 2008 campaign, a physical reminder of the rewards waiting for those who aggressively pursue their goals.
"This is hard work," he said as he dropped the pair of object lessons onto the gymnasium floor.
But Hicks readily acknowledged that social media nastiness and the lack of an emotional safety net can make it difficult to maintain a go-for-it mindset.
The wounds that teens inflict upon each other online can drive some to consider suicide, he said, and neutralizing "weapons of mass destruction" such as Twitter and Instagram requires both giving and receiving affection.
One boy who had been cutting himself told Hicks that his words of encouragement saved his life, he said.
Hicks recounted other stories of parents and children reconciling after one of them reached out with an affirmation.
"There's someone in your life who needs to hear that you appreciate them," said Hicks, who then had students text that message to a friend or family member.

NSA Fallout Thwarts AT&T
As Carrier Considers Vodafone, Wider Distrust of U.S. Spying May Upend Its Takeover Ambitions
AT&T Inc.'s ambitions to expand in Europe have run into unexpected hurdles amid the growing outcry across the region over surveillance by the National Security Agency. German and other European officials said any attempt by AT&T to acquire a major wireless operator would face intense scrutiny, given the company's work with the U.S. agency's data-collection programs.
Resistance to such a deal, voiced by officials in interviews across Europe, suggests the impact of the NSA affair could extend beyond the diplomatic sphere...

San Francisco is a city in California and is generally considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. [1] It is well known for its excellent public transit systems, including Muni subway and streetcars, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) trains to suburbs, and the famous San Francisco cable cars. [2] The city has survived two extremely damaging earthquakes, one in 1906 and another one about 75 miles away in 1989 [3][4] known as the Loma Prieta Earthquake. Fear of another earthquake is the reason that no freeway through the city exists. Indeed, it is impossible to access the Golden Gate Bridge without driving on city streets.
The downtown area of the city is laid out on two grids, with a 45 degree offset between them. Market Street separates the two grids. Many tourists come to visit the Civic Center, Embarcadero, and Union Square areas, all of which are north of Market. Famous San Francisco landmarks include the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, and Alcatraz Island.
San Francisco, with a large homosexual population, is also considered to be one of the most liberal cities in America. Its mayor, Gavin Newsom ordered the city clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite the practice being explicitly illegal under California law. The marriages were nullified by the courts shortly thereafter, as the mayor and clerk were violating California state law.[5]
In 2001, the city of San Francisco extended its workers health insurance to cover sex change operations for municipal employees. [6] [7] The Board of Supervisors and Mayor approved the measure which extended up to $50,000 in benefits to city workers who want to switch their gender. [8]
San Francisco is also a "city of refuge", which means they have passed an ordinance that it is against the law to report illegal immigrants to the United States authorities as they are required to legally do. In other words anyone upholding the federal law will get in trouble with the city. This has led to a culture of under aged drug dealers continuing their trade with impunity.[9]
San Francisco is part of the San Francisco Bay Area, which includes Oakland, San Jose, Berkeley, and other smaller towns like Cupertino, Palo Alto, Mountain View, San Mateo, Saratoga, and Menlo Park. The city is home to several large companies, including Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Cnet. San Francisco has been overtaken in population and economic significance by San Jose and the rest of Silicon Valley.
The Yelamu tribe of American Indians lived in the San Francisco peninsula prior to European arrival in the area, with settlements dating to as late as 3000 BC[10]; however, it should be noted that carbon dating is likely flawed.
San Francisco was founded as a mission by Franciscan monks in 1776. Within only a few years, several natives had been converted to Christianity[11]. A census conducted at the time showed a total of 814 people living in and around the mission[12].
The San Francisco Bay, as well as its central location, and position on the California mission trail played heavily into the growth of the city during the California Gold Rush.
Major Earthquakes
In 1906, a large earthquake struck San Francisco, killing approximately 3000 people and starting a fire which burned about 4.7 square miles of cityscape. [13]. The earthquake originated on the San Andreas fault, which continues to threaten major Californian cities. The second largest earthquake to affect San Francisco, the Loma Prieta Earthquake, struck in 1989, causing damage to the city and surrounding areas.
In the first half of the 20th century, business interests in San Francisco, organized into the Chamber of Commerce, asserted themselves as the only legitimate leaders of the community, asserting that labor unions were only a disruptive special interest. However the voters and the overall political culture of the city were much more sympathetic to the working class and to labor unions as their representatives in civic decision making. After conflict between business and unions, including strikes sometimes requiring federal troops, business finally accepted the legitimacy of labor unions after the bitter strike in 1934. The resulting business-labor partnership aided San Francisco's postwar expansion.[14]
The Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-40 boosted San Francisco. The exposition's board was dominated by members of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce who had the support of major area corporations, other western states, and federal agencies. The Exposition departed from the tradition of world fairs in its eclectic organization of exhibits, which included productions, displays, lectures, films, demonstrations, and bazaars. These exhibits reflected a transitional phase in American culture, characterized by the process of fragmentation and recombination. The tensions of American society on the eve of World War II were manifested in exhibitions expressing both desires for peace and simplicity, and fascination with expansion and technology. [15]
Bill O'Reilly and San Francisco Values
There is much antipathy between the liberal San Franciscans and Bill O'Reilly, who has made many comments about San Francisco values. For example, the San Francisco Chronicle devoted two-thirds of its front page to a picture of Bill O'Reilly and had a extremely large story about him when he stated that San Francisco should secede from the United States and form its own country.[16]
Mr. O'Reilly has stated the following regarding San Francisco values:
| But back to San Francisco values, as listed in my book, Culture Warrior. Here they are. Cradle-to-grave entitlements for the poor, with a punishing tax rate to pay for them. Legalized drugs. Unfettered abortion rights. No parental notification for minors having abortions, and rehab, not punishment, for many dangerous criminals.
No restrictions on the Southern border. San Francisco welcomes all illegal aliens. An anti-Christian attitude. Remember last March? The supervisors condemned a rally by a conservative Christian youth group – kids. The supervisors called it anti-gay and anti-choice. But the city apparently is comfortable with militant gays dressing up as nuns in a public parade and mocking said nuns. No proclamation condemning that.
This is just a few of the "values" San Franciscans embrace in their secular progressive paradise.[17]
A notable incident involving the issue of San Francisco values was the Hamilton Square Baptist Church riot and the persecution of Dr. Chuck McIlhenny.
Homosexual Public Indecency Tolerated in San Francisco
For more on this topic see: Homosexual Public Indecency Tolerated in San Francisco
In San Francisco there have been notable cases of homosexual public indecency that has been tolerated. Christianity Today states the following regarding Pastor David Innes regarding the Hamilton Square Baptist Church riot:
|Innes says he blames not police, but those in political control of the city, particularly the board of supervisors. "You really can't compare San Francisco with any other city," says Innes. "Homosexual advocates infiltrate and dominate the political structures here. Police are in straitjackets. They can't do their job. They've been instructed not to arrest homosexuals."[18]
Pastor Innes then cites a September 30, 1993 letter published in the San Francisco Chronicle from a veteran police officer who was "highly embarrassed" when people asked him why he was not making any arrests in regards to totally naked males engaging in lewd behavior at the San Francisco Folsom Street Fair. The officer stated that "At least a dozen times I had to painstakingly explain that we were to take a position of 'high tolerance' and not to create an incident." [19]
In 1990 and 1991 extreme public lewdness was exhibited at the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Parades and when police authorities were asked why there were no arrests they offered various excuses such as the primary responsibility was to "reflect community standards and maintain crowd control."[20]
The city at that time had no rule outlawing being naked in public; on Tuesday, November 20, 2012 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted on if they would change the law that allowed public nudity. [21] The nudity ban passed 6 votes to 5. [22].
Walk For Life West Coast
In January 2011, San Francisco held the 7th Annual Walk for Life West Coast, a pro-life rally. Up to 50,000 people took part, a record turnout for the event.[23] The counter-protest "was deafened by the sheer size of Walk for Life".[24]
San Francisco is home to two major professional sports teams: the San Francisco Giants baseball team and the San Francisco 49ers football team.

In Thailand, Obama defends Burma visit
BANGKOK — As President Barack Obama prepared Sunday to become the first U.S. president to visit Burma, he defended his decision to make such a historic trip even as deadly ethnic violence continues in the Asian country long viewed as a pariah state.
Human rights groups have argued that Obama's trip comes too soon — before Burma's regime has undertaken sufficient reforms to justify such a visit.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Obama's overseas trip)
"This is not an endorsement of the Burmese government," he said, speaking in Thailand. "This is an acknowledgment that there is a process under way inside that country that even a year and a half, two years ago nobody foresaw."
Speaking during his first stop on a four-day swing through Asia, Obama said Burma's leaders have made major reforms and the time is right to try to push the process forward.
"We've seen political prisoners released. There is an articulated commitment to further political reform," Obama said at a joint press availability with Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra. "But I don't think anybody is under any illusion that Burma's arrived, that they're where they need to be. On the other hand, if we waited to engage until they had achieved a perfect democracy, my suspcicion is we'd be waiting an awful long time."
Obama said the United States will respond to any "backsliding" in Burma, but that failing to recognize the changes under way right now would be a mistake.
"I'm not somebody who thinks that the United States should stand on the sidelines and not want to get its hands dirty when there's an opportunity to encourage the better impulses inside a country," the president said.
Whether wise or unwise, the president's groundbreaking visit to Burma — the centerpiece of his brief journey to Asia — is also being upstaged by the violence thousands of miles away in the Middle East.
The trip to Thailand, Burma and Cambodia had the potential to be a post-election, international victory lap for Obama, but will now take a more subdued tone as television and newspapers reporting on his visit do so alongside images of hospitals receiving casualties and families taking cover as rockets shower Israel and bombs rain down on Gaza.
In response to a reporter's question Sunday, Obama made his first comments on the escalating violence. He firmly endorsed Israel's right to defend itself against rockets originating from Hamas-controlled Gaza, but he seemed eager to avert the looming possibility of a ground incursion into Gaza by Israeli troops.
"Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired onto its territory. If that can be accomplished without the ramping up of military activity in Gaza that's preferable," Obama said. "That's not just preferable for the people of Gaza. It's also preferable for Israelis, because if Israeli troops are in Gaza, they're much more at risk of fatalities or being wounded."
In a briefing aboard Air Force One as Obama flew to Asia, the White House acknowledged that part of the president's attention is likely to remain on the Mideast violence even as he is feted in the Asian capitals of Bangkok, Rangoon and Phnom Penh.

This class is open to People's Member-Owners only.
Lindsay Tallon, firstname.lastname@example.com
Often, yoga is taught in a way that is underpinned with hierarchy, rigidity, and striving. This is a reflection of our culture. Let's move away from that and toward a willingness to be with our experience exactly as it unfolds, without resisting. This class aims to be inclusive to all and suitable for all levels.
No need to RSVP. Mats available.

Thanks to the lovely and gracious Priceless Joy for hosting FFftAW this last week.
Violet read the letter her daughter had sent her in disbelief. To fathom a girl of Elizabeth's quality of breeding would do this to her family was unimaginable.
Harsh Victorian society could never know the truth of what Elizabeth had done and Violet wasn't sure she could bear to keep in contact with her daughter.
She would focus on her other children. Violet's sons had married well. Three of her daughters were also married suitably and having more children. Her two youngest daughters were courting wealthy gentlemen.
Elizabeth if not cut-off from her family, could ruin them all. Violet reread part of her daughter's letter once more in disgust:
"Did you know Mama, there is such thing as a circus? Freaks of all kinds, but I love them because they're genuine, not like the society you so desperately try to trap me in. Years of dance lessons have left me flexible. I pirouette far above the ground and dance in the air; I ride the elephants.
It's amazing travelling the world and I won't be returning to London, except for an occasional visit of course. I've married one of the men who runs the circus. He is like me, gentry who has run away from a society of judgement. I love you and hope we can write, but I can't be the woman you want me to be. . ."

Alphonse Bertillon (1853-1914)
Alphonse Bertillon was a Parisian policeman. He wanted to improve descriptions of suspected criminals, and hoped a good identification system would quickly identify repeat offenders. He believed that people who were liable to reoffend could be identified through physical characteristics, and that people with certain characteristics were more likely to be criminals.
Bertillon was a friend of the surgeon and anthropologist Paul Broca, and borrowed Broca's ideas about measuring physical differences. In 1881, Bertillon developed techniques and instruments to measure individual features that would not change, for example eye colour, the shape and angles of the ear, brow and nose, and the distances between them. He also developed ways to reliably record other physical data about the body, including identifying marks such as tattoos. He collected vast quantities of data and used the new technology of photography.
By 1883, Bertillon had made 7336 measurements and identified 49 repeat offenders. By 1884 he had found 241. Bertillon described his system as anthropometry, literally 'measuring humans'. The system became known as 'Bertillonage', and it eventually incorporated body measurements, a verbal description, a photograph and fingerprints. The system relied on progressively sorting records of people with matching characteristics until an individual was identified.
Bertillonage was initially popular. However, from the 1890s it was superseded by fingerprinting techniques from India. Frances Galton championed their use in forensic science. Fingerprinting proved far simpler for identifying individuals because each person has a unique fingerprint.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) - update
6 September 2013 - WHO has been informed of an additional two laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV).
The first case was notified by the Ministry of Health in Tunisia. The patient was a 66-year-old man who became ill on 1 May 2013 and died on 10 May 2013. The patient was earlier announced as a probable case while his daughter and son were laboratory-confirmed with MERS-CoV (DON published on 22 May 2013). Laboratory-confirmation on the case was recently conducted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The second case was notified by the Ministry of Health in Qatar. The patient was a 56-year-old woman with underlying medical conditions who became ill on 18 August 2013 and died on 31 August 2013. Laboratory-confirmation was recently conducted by Public Health England, UK.
Globally, from September 2012 to date, WHO has been informed of a total of 110 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS-CoV, including 52 deaths.
Based on the current situation and available information, WHO encourages all Member States to continue their surveillance for severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) and to carefully review any unusual patterns.
Health care providers are advised to maintain vigilance. Recent travellers returning from the Middle East who develop SARI should be tested for MERS-CoV as advised in the current surveillance recommendations.
Specimens from patients' lower respiratory tracts should be obtained for diagnosis where possible. Clinicians are reminded that MERS-CoV infection should be considered even with atypical signs and symptoms, such as diarrhoea, in patients who are immunocompromised.
Health care facilities are reminded of the importance of systematic implementation of infection prevention and control (IPC). Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with MERS-CoV infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors.
All Member States are reminded to promptly assess and notify WHO of any new case of infection with MERS-CoV, along with information about potential exposures that may have resulted in infection and a description of the clinical course. Investigation into the source of exposure should promptly be initiated to identify the mode of exposure, so that further transmission of the virus can be prevented.
WHO does not advise special screening at points of entry with regard to this event nor does it currently recommend the application of any travel or trade restrictions.
WHO has convened an Emergency Committee under the International Health Regulations (IHR) to advise the Director-General on the status of the current situation. The Emergency Committee, which comprises international experts from all WHO Regions, unanimously advised that, with the information now available, and using a risk-assessment approach, the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have not at present been met.

Play kitchen are expensive, especially the wood ones! After coming across some pretty awesome DIY recycled play kitchens, I decided that I was going to make one for Leeluu's birthday. She turns 3 this Saturday.
I kept my eye out for an old cabinet of Kijij, and found this one for $15 dollars. I am not the handiest person but I kept it pretty simple. After all it's for her to use her imagination.
The curtains I sewed and strung on a wooden dowel. The sink (metal bowl) I picked up at the dollar store for, you guessed it, a dollar! The paint is the kind in the really small can that you can test out on your walls.
I am excited to find some little baskets this week and fill them up with cooking gear! I know she is going to make some yummy vegan meals for all her buddies (stuffed animals).
