text: The Presidential Debate: Where was Mental Health? Oct 04 2012 ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 4, 2012—During the presidential debate on Wed. night, "mental health" and "mental illness" were words never spoken by President Obama or Governor Romney. "The oversight leaves unexplored important mental health dimensions and distinctions," said Michael J. Fitzpatrick, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). "Nationally, the unemployment rate is 8.3 percent. Unemployed workers are four times as likely to experience mental health problems—at a time when the supply of mental health services has decreased because of state budget cuts and squeezes on Medicaid." Even in the best of times, one in four American adults experience a mental health problem in any given year. Another word left unspoken was "parity" in which employer-paid health insurance must cover mental illness on the same terms as other conditions. The mental health needs of veterans weren't mentioned. The debate did focus on broad issues or briefly touch on others important to individuals and families affected by mental illness. Health insurance, coverage of preexisting conditions and prohibition of lifetime limits, either as they exist under current law or any repeal proposal. Medicaid—including coverage for children with disabilities. Education policy, including the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Appropriate agencies for federal job training. "Yes, these are important issues," Fitzpatrick said. "Tell us more." "Mental illness does not discriminate. It strikes Democrats, Republicans and independents alike. Our challenge to every voter is to study the issues closely. Look past the rhetoric. Weigh dueling numbers carefully. Apply that kind of scrutiny to every federal, state and local candidate." NAMI's non-partisan Mental Health Care Gets My Vote campaign supports the following priorities: Protect mental health funding. Expand access to mental health coverage. Ensure that effective mental health services are available. Promote integration of mental health, addictions and primary care. Improve the mental health of children, youth and young adults. Meet the mental health needs of service members, veterans and their families. Provide homes and jobs for people living with mental illness Eliminate disparities in mental health care. End inappropriate jailing of people with mental illness. About NAMI NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. twitter.com/namicommunicate facebook.com/officialNAMI SOURCE National Alliance on Mental Illness

The editorial board of the New York Post Barski - European Quality - Set of 6 Plates - Classic Clear Glass - Salad - Dessert - Appetizer - Plate - 5.9 Diameter - Made in Europe.
One of the top goals of today's criminal-justice-reform movement is to undo excesses of the past — heavy-handed laws that required long prison stretches for relatively minor offenses, by robbing judges of the discretion they traditionally had when it came to sentencing. But some reformers are now making exactly the same mistake.
Mind you, the Post wasn't exactly reluctant to enthusiastically endorse the "heavy-handed laws." There have been far too many tough-on-crime initiatives piled atop and beside each other over the past 40 years, from the inane "Three Strikes" laws to mandatory minimums, from the excessive sentences for drugs crafted in hysterical reaction to the overdose of Len Bias to the excessive sentences for corporate crime in the aftermath of Enron.

Mount Robinson Climber's Log
CWessels - Jul 18, 2015 6:25 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2015NW Gully
Via some class 2-3 gully I found on the NW side. There's no summit register, right? I couldn't find one.
Fensterschlechter - Aug 16, 2014 3:55 pm Date Climbed: May 29, 2014NE Couloir
The couloir caught my eye the previous day while relaxing by Fifth Lake. It turned out to be a delightful snow climb followed by a seemingly endless ridge. Descended a beautiful snow chute east towards the outlet of Sam Mack Lake (frozen), eventually made my way down to the Sam Mack Meadow and trail. Good times.
Vitaliy M. - Jul 29, 2011 3:32 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2010West Ridge
with Mark. A fun experience without much info on the route.
seano - Aug 13, 2010 10:43 pm Date Climbed: Aug 13, 2010NE Face/ridge
Long ridge, and a bit loose, but still a fun climb.
PellucidWombat - Jul 20, 2010 5:18 pm Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2010W Ridge
Climbed the peak via the West Ridge with Vitaliy. Careful routfinding kept the route at cl. 3 to cl.4-? Incredible exposure, and great scrambling! I couldn't tell which summit was the highest and couldn't locate the register, so I climbed the three obviously highest summits.
Bob Burd - Sep 10, 2008 1:43 am Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2008SE Face / NW Face
This was a better peak than expected, with a fun chase along the summit ridge over numerous false summits to the hightpoint. Day 8 of the Sierra Challenge. Trip Report
bechtt - Aug 23, 2008 8:31 pm Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2008SE face
8 on top for Day 8 of the 2008 Sierra Challenge. The descent felt longer than the ascent.
gluballs - Mar 28, 2006 11:53 pm Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2005South East face
Not sure if I can consider what I did a "summit." It looked like the true summit was a short class 5 ridege traverse across (50ft north at about the same elevation) from the peaklet I ended up on. Anyway I didn't have a map and didn't know much about the peak. My intended goal was Mt. Winchell but due to a late start I had to improvise.
Kerstin - Sep 24, 2006 3:00 amRe: South East face
I did a similar thing, gluballs, I arrived at the top of the southeast face thinking I was at the summit. "Oh sh*t!" I thought as I saw the true summit in front of me at least 200 feet away. I had to make my way along a knife-edge ridge with incredible exposure, then drop down and around on very loose rock. To get to the summit I tried going around the north side but it was fifth class. The south side had a very exposed third class traverse to the summit block.
mtldrinstr - Sep 27, 2005 10:18 pmRoute Climbed: SE FACE Date Climbed: SEPTEMBER 2004
Watch the loose rock...................Its BAD
Kerstin - Sep 17, 2005 12:43 pmRoute Climbed: Southeast Face Date Climbed: July 29, 1999
I climbed Mt. Robinson solo from Sam Mack Lake on a very hot July day. The Southeast face was exposed and exciting, with fairly solid rock until near the top. I was the only person to sign the summit register in two years and narrowly missed getting to see the original summit register signed by Norman Clyde. (It had been taken by a Sierra Club member for "safe keeping".) The view of the Palisades from the peak was amazing!
Descended via a gully on the east side of the mountain, which was horrendously loose!

- How to Read a Study Record
- Bronchiectasis is a disease characterized by airways that are inflamed, abnormally dilated, and chronically infected. Individuals with bronchiectasis have a history of chronic and recurring respiratory infections. Depending on the underlying cause, these infections may involve the entire respiratory tract, resulting in sinus, ear, and lung disease.
- Bronchiectasis continues to be a significant problem in developing countries and in specific groups of individuals, particularly in people who have cystic fibrosis. Although treatments are available or under development for bronchiectasis related to cystic fibrosis, many of the disease-specific treatments may not be effective for bronchiectasis not related to cystic fibrosis.
- To study the natural history of bronchiectasis to identify inherited and immune factors that may explain why certain individuals have chronic recurring infections.
- Individuals 5 years of age and older who have an established diagnosis of bronchiectasis or a history of chronic/recurring respiratory infections.
- Direct family members (e.g., parents, siblings, children) of patients in the study may also be asked to participate.
- Potential participants will be screened with an initial clinic evaluation and full medical history, as well as a general quality of life and respiratory symptom questionnaire.
- The following standard procedures may be done as part of the study: air sampling from the nose; imaging studies, which may include an x-ray or computed tomography (CT), lung function tests; and collection of samples of blood, urine, and sputum (phlegm or mucus). Other tests may be performed as required by the researchers, and will be explained to patients as needed.
- Both patients and relatives (if asked to participate) will provide the following samples: blood or buccal (cheek swab) cells for genetic testing, sputum, and urine.
- To prevent infections and potential disease progression, patients may receive standard medical care and treatment for bronchiectasis and related infections during this protocol.
- Patients older than 18 years of age will be invited to join the Bronchiectasis Research Registry, a program supported by the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Foundation. The purpose of the program is to identify a group of people who are interested in receiving information about research studies focused on bronchiectasis and possibly participating in these research studies. Participants may be offered the opportunity to participate in selected clinic trials related to bronchiectasis or related medical conditions.
|Condition or disease
|Bronchiectasis Cystic Fibrosis Autoimmune Disease Common Variable Immunodeficiency
Bronchiectasis, or abnormal dilation of the airways, is a condition typically characterized by chronic and recurring respiratory tract infections. Frequently, depending on the underlying cause, these infections involve the entire respiratory tract resulting in sinus, ear, and lung disease. This condition used to be more common in children prior to immunizations for childhood infections. It continues to be a significant problem in developing countries and in specific groups of individuals in the U.S. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most commonly associated genetic condition and tremendous strides have been made in recent years in understanding the mechanisms of this disease that are leading to a multitude of emerging novel treatment strategies. The mechanisms of other causes for bronchiectasis have not evolved to this degree, and many of the disease-specific treatments being assessed for cystic fibrosis may not be effective for non-CF bronchiectasis. Often bronchiectasis can be associated with chronic infections from environmental germs such as the nontuberculous mycobacteria.
This protocol is aimed at exploring associated causes and mechanisms for the development of bronchiectasis in patients with chronic and recurring respiratory tract infections. Participants will undergo testing based on their individual clinical presentations to look for known associated conditions. Additionally, some patients may be followed over time to better understand the natural history of evolving bronchiectasis and to assess the effect of management strategies on the course of the disease and on their chronic infections like the nontuberculous mycobacteria. As potential novel therapies develop, participants may be offered the opportunity to participate in clinical treatment trials.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|5 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
- Children age 5 years and above and adults referred to the NIH with chronic or recurring respiratory infections will be eligible for participation.
- Males and females will be considered without regard to race or ethnicity or upper age limit.
- Emphasis will be primarily on non CF bronchiectasis for elucidation of mechanisms of infection susceptibility. However, select patients with cystic fibrosis or acquired immune defects (such as HIV) may be studied if relevant host defects are suspected or if needed for comparison purposes or to evaluate and study the management of chronic pathogen associated conditions such as nontuberculous mycobacterial infections or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
- Subjects must have a primary or referring physician
- Subjects must be willing to have samples stored
As a part of this protocol we may obtain blood, sputum, urine, or buccal swabs from some blood relatives of patients on the study, with the hope of isolating and characterizing the primary host defense defect(s) or genetic links responsible for airway infection susceptibility and/or bronchiectasis seen within families. Male and female relatives will be accepted without limitation due to age. These relatives may have pertinent disease-related history obtained, but will neither receive treatment nor have any other protocol procedures done unless they are enrolled on the study.
- We wish to avoid enrolling subjects, especially children, who have common respiratory problems (aeroallergen sensitivity, asthma, gastric esophageal reflux) that are not associated with an underlying abnormality in host defenses. Evidence of significance of chronic or recurring infections suggestive of an underlying airway surface or systemic host defense defect should be documented by one or more of the following: a) sinus or lower airway cultures positive for bacterial, fungal, or mycobacterial pathogens characteristic of these defects; or b) radiographic evidence of sinusitis with mucosal thickening and/or air-fluid levels; or c) radiographic evidence of bronchiectasis; d) severity of otitis media requiring placement of tympanic membrane pressure equalization tubes; e) severity of sinusitis requiring surgical intervention.
- Patients who are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent either directly or via appropriately designated surrogate.
- Any patient who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is unable or unwilling to comply with regular follow-up or is unlikely to provide pertinent information regarding disease progression or response to treatment may be excluded from longitudinal follow-up.
- Children under the age of 5 will be excluded from this protocol.
When a pediatric subject reaches age 18, continued participation will require reconsenting with the adult consent document.

You commonly see references to "the figure below" and "the table below" in literature.
In the table above [2], one can see..
However, LaTeX provides
\ref, which acts as a hyperlink.
Is it better LaTeX style to omit the words "table below" and simply cite your own table as a reference?
So the sentence above would read
In [2], one can see..
Where [2] is a
\ref'd table element in the same document.
However one cannot tell if the hyperlinked element is a table or an image from the sentence now. Perhaps a better alternative is
In the table [2], one can see..
Which is the better LaTeX style?

Mountain View College
Airport safety certification training for airport maintenance, operations and aircraft service staff; vendor relations and emotional intelligence training for other employee groups.
With the creation of the Airport Safety Training Program in 2010 by Mountain View Workforce Training account manager Michael Johnson, DFW became one of the first airports to receive local instruction in newly required Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) training for employees servicing aircraft; Oklahoma had previously been the nearest training location. The college also has trained employees at Dallas Love Field, Lancaster Regional Airport, Collin County Regional Airport, and Fort Worth's Meacham and Spinks airports.
Airport safety operations address all aspects of airport safety for maintenance staff, airport managers, inspectors and service technicians. Subsequent training for DFW included vendor relations for the Asset Management Department and emotional intelligence training — learning to identify and manage behaviors for better customer relations — for the Parking Division Unit.
Mountain View's contractual relationship with the DFW Airport Board began in 2010 with an agreement of $50,000 for airport safety training, was upgraded to $100,000 through 2013, and was extended in 2014.
Mountain View's Airport Safety Operations Program covers certification requirements as per FAA regulations for airports serving scheduled air carrier operations for aircraft with 10-30 seats and addresses general airport and runway safety, as well as safety management systems. Besides service technicians, managers and inspectors, general maintenance staff including painters and electricians are trained.
Mountain View's Workforce Training Division initiated the training relationship with the development of its Airport Safety Operations Program. To minimize time and cost in developing customized training materials, the college created its own curriculum and course packaging. A key component was recruiting the right professionals to teach courses.
Airport safety training is required by the FAA and the nearest official training facility is in Oklahoma. By contracting with an FAA inspector to teach the program, the college now serves as an official airport safety training provider and became the first community college to provide professional development training to DFW Airport employees.
Seven classes in airport safety have been offered over three years to DFW and six surrounding airports to 107 airplane service technicians and other maintenance staff. Seventy employees also have completed training in vendor relations and 35 managers and supervisors completed emotional intelligence training.
Innovation and customization are key in delivering excellent results to training partners.
Mountain View's Economic Workforce team maintains a strong relationship with DFW International Airport. They developed and implemented an Airport Safety Training program for us in 2010 which led to professional development training for our leadership team. DFW Airport appreciates the support and professional training received over the past several years and credits a great deal of the success on Lorraine Hood Jack's engagement and involvement. As our (Mountain View Workforce Training) account manager, she meets the needs of DFW Airport by providing excellent custom training programs.

There's no way I'd just spelunk down into a mystery hole without any reconnaisance first. There could be ANYTHING down there. Apparently, there wasn't, which was good...for them, lol.
Still, that's weird, but I'm guessing the truth will come out eventually about what the holes are there for. I'm guessing somewhere, someone knows something. Perhaps its something that harkens back to the Cold War...perhaps its something naturally occuring of a geological nature.

Perhaps the most bizarre influence that Teed's ideas had was in Nazi Germany. Some of Teed's publications fell into the hands of Peter Bender a German aviator who had boen'badly wounded. Bender was inverted, and though he was to die in a Nazi concentration camp, the hollow earth ideas that he proclaimed sparked interest in the anti-intellectual climate of Nazi Germany.
Moonie - what is the 'Hollow Earth Theory'? I guess I could go Google that . . .
In April 1942, the Nazis sent an expedition under Dr. Heinz Fischer, an expert on infrared rays, to the island of Ruegen in the Baltic. One of the purposes of the expedition was to get a picture of the British fleet by turning their cameras upward and shooting across the center of the hollow earth! Astronomer Gerald S. Kuiper observed. "High officials in the German Admiralty and Air Force thought this would be useful for locating the whereabouts of the British fleet because the concave curvature of the earth would facilitate long-distance observation by means of infrared rays which are less curved than visible rays."

Subscribe To Lionsgate Taps Jack Thorne To Adapt Bestselling YA Novel Wonder Updates
I've already subscribed
Even though the horizon of cinema's future is dotted with highly fantastical young adult novel adaptations like The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and The Maze Runner, there is more than enough room in film for children who don't spend their novelized lives within dystopian worlds sharing space with mythological creatures. If Judy Blume can finally get the Tiger Eyes adaptation she'd been waiting for, then let's open the floodgates for more humanized YA fare.
Deadline reports Lionsgate is doing just that by hiring English screenwriter Jack Thorne to adapt the critically adored Wonder, the heart-unraveling debut from author Raquel Jaramillo, under the pseudonym R.J. Palacio. Though the only produced script Thorne has written was 2009's The Scouting Book for Boys, he's been all over British television, writing several episodes of the teen drama Skins and the apocalyptic horror The Fades. He also created the mockumentary reality series Cast Offs.
While it doesn't seem like this kind of an inspirational tale is in Thorne's wheelhouse, he wrote the upcoming war drama How I Live Now as well as the new Nick Hornby adaptation A Long Way Down. He's also set to adapt the family adventure The Magic Hat of Mortimer Wintergreen. It helps to have a diverse writing range.
The Mandeville Films production will tell the story of Auggie Pullman, a 10-year-old with a facial deformity that has kept him away from attending public school until he enters the fifth grade. And while the results are to be expected in the beginning, Auggie proves to everyone that beauty isn't limited to the eye of the beholder. And he proves it with laughs as much as anything else.
As weird as it sounds, this will hopefully resemble David Lynch's The Elephant Man much more than Victor Salva's Powder. Hopefully a "wonder"-ful director gets the gig.

Tribe doesn't knuckle under on Opening Night
Masterson yields one run over six frames; Asdrubal hits clutch homer
TORONTO -- This was an evening celebrating heightened expectations. Both the Indians and the Blue Jays underwent dramatic roster makeovers over the offseason, inserting more star power to their respective lineups and generating renewed excitement within their title-starved fan bases.
It seemed fitting that the pair of overhauled ballclubs would battle it out on Opening Night.
In front of a sold-out and raucous Rogers Centre crowd, Cleveland claimed a season-opening 4-1 victory over Toronto on Tuesday night. Sinkerballer Justin Masterson fought his way through six innings and shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera clubbed a critical home run, giving the Indians enough to survive against the unpredictable and often-dominating ways of Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey.
As he watched it all unfold from the visitors' dugout, new manager Terry Francona -- a man with two World Series rings and a life spent in and around the game -- found himself overwhelmed by nerves.
"I've been doing this for a long time," Francona said. "I was so nervous the whole game -- it surprised me. I think I kind of came to realize early in the game how much I care about these guys already. It hit me like a ton of bricks."
The hiring of Francona in October initiated the Indians' offseason facelift.
Ownership freed up the funds to land big-ticket free agents such as Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn and general manager Chris Antonetti made a wave of trades -- big and small -- to address multiple needs on the roster and in the farm system. The result was an Opening Day roster featuring a dozen newcomers and an energized cast of players determined to swiftly move on from last year's 94-loss showing.
Winning on Day 1 was a great way to start.
"It's great to get one for Tito," said closer Chris Perez, referring to Francona, "but it's great getting one for our team, too, and the city. There's a lot better feeling after Opening Day this time than last year. He's going to get a lot more wins here, but it's good to get the first one out of the way."
Perez had been thinking a lot lately about Opening Day a year ago, and he thought about it some more when he was summoned from the bullpen in the ninth inning.
A year ago, following a strong outing by Masterson, Perez entered with a 4-1 lead against the Blue Jays and suffered a blown save that led to a 16-inning loss. The All-Star stopper emerged from the bullpen behind the right-field wall on Tuesday night with Cleveland clinging to a 4-1 lead.
The baseball gods have a cruel sense of humor.
"C.P. had the same stuff he had last year," Masterson said with a smirk, "and he came in and was able to slice and dice this year. It was nice."
Perez followed a flawless eighth inning by setup man Vinnie Pestano, who followed a one-two-three seventh turned in by sidearmer Joe Smith. That late-inning trio has been one of Cleveland's consistent strengths over the past two seasons.
"Being that force at the end of the game is exactly what us three want to be," Pestano said.
Dickey's signature knuckleball did its dance throughout the evening, but at times to his detriment. Catcher J.P. Arencibia was charged with three passed balls, including a pair that paved the way for Cleveland's first run of the season.
Michael Brantley opened the second inning with a single to center field and then advanced 180 feet to third base thanks to two knucklers that Arencibia was unable to corral. That turned a routine groundout to shortstop off the bat of Tribe third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall into a run-producing chopper, scoring Brantley from third with ease.
Drew Stubbs -- acquired from the Reds during December's blockbuster three-team, nine-player trade -- followed with an RBI single to left field to push the Indians to a 2-0 lead.
"It was moving well," said Dickey, who allowed four runs (three earned) on five hits with four strikeouts and as many walks in six innings. "Early on in particular, it was moving pretty violently right at the plate and you saw that manifest in J.P. struggling with it a little bit. That's part of it."
The Indians later ran to a 4-1 lead in the fifth inning, when Cabrera sent an offering from Dickey towering over the right-field wall for a two-run home run. Off the bat, Cabrera was not sure it had the distance. The baseball soared seemingly in slow motion before dropping into the netting over the fence.
"I'll say I got lucky there," Cabrera said with a smile.
Masterson did his part by sidestepping harm for the Indians.
The Blue Jays' lone breakthrough against Masterson came in the third inning, when Toronto loaded the bases with no outs. Adam Lind then sent a pitch from Masterson scorching up the middle, where Cabrera -- perfectly positioned -- made a quick back-handed grab, and then a flip to second baseman Jason Kipnis, starting a rally-killing double play.
A run scored on the play, but Masterson escaped further damage by striking out Arencibia.
"It turned into the Asdrubal Cabrera show, to be honest with you," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Big double play that he turned -- could have been a game changer early in the game. And then, of course, the big home run."
Masterson walked four and struck out five in his six innings, scattering three hits along the way. His pitch count climbed early, but Francona gave a show of faith in his staff leader by sending Masterson out for the sixth inning. The right-hander rewarded Francona's trust by retiring the final three batters he faced.
"We were just battling," Masterson said. "It was probably a little excitement, a little bit of everything. Then we were able to slowly make some stuff happen, and we were able to get through some balls, and then the last couple innings we finished off really, really good."
As a team, the Indians have started this season off really well.
That did not make it any easier on Francona's stomach.
"I was a nervous wreck," Francona said, "which hopefully will go away. Not the caring part. The nervous part."

Piston Computing plans to build a bridge to EMC VMware's Cloud Foundry, meaning it will link Piston's own OpenStack-based cloud IaaS offering. What does this mean for cloud development? It's the start of many other such integration efforts, I suspect, to battle the meteoric rise of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Cloud Foundry is a popular open source platform service, which VMware promotes as a PaaS for any infrastructure. Piston is one of many companies that rely on OpenStack. The OpenStack fraternity includes Akamai, AMD, Broadcom, Cisco Systems, CloudScaling, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, NTT, Rackspace, and Yahoo. The OpenStack movement is really a competitive pushback on AWS in the IaaS space. Both Cloud Foundry and Piston's OpenStack are available under the Apache 2 license.
[ In the data center today, the action is in the private cloud. InfoWorld's experts take you through what you need to know to do it right in our "Private Cloud Deep Dive" PDF special report. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
If you're working on an enterprise cloud computing strategy, you should be well aware that relationships such as the Piston/VMware deal are forged for the economic benefit of both companies by making the combination more attractive than either offering on its own. That's why we'll see more and more such IaaS/PaaS partnerships or even acquisitions in the next 18 months -- especially involving other OpenStack providers.
The rationale is obvious: AWS is eating everyone's lunch, so now is the time to pile on. If AWS were not doing so well in the market, you wouldn't see many of these partnerships -- trust me.
What's an enterprise cloud guy to do? Use these partnerships to your advantage. No matter what the motivation, they open up new paths to cloud computing success, both private and public. As everyone teams up to defeat AWS, the prices should fall and the breadth of the technology stacks should increase.
Thanks for being so ominous, AWS!

I felt relieved when I heard Obama's victory speech this morning, and I particularly resonated with him when he spoke about the future of America's children.
"We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet," said Obama during his speech. Crowds burst into applause, while probably millions of other citizens of the world heard his vision.
My relief came with the realisation that Barack Obama shares our vision. When President Obama was elected four years ago, his challenge was to stop the US from going into financial freefall. His challenge is even greater now – he needs to play a more assertive roleinternationally on the issue of climate change and stop us all from climate freefall.
While US President Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, activists demonstrated on the streets of Oslo. Activists held signs that read "Obama: Our Climate. Your decision." 12/10/2009 © Christian Åslund / Greenpeace
The reality is that President's Obama first four years did not deliver enough on environmental issues generally and on climate change specifically. We are cautiously hopeful that in his second term he will use more of his political capital to advance the climate change agenda at home, but also globally.
But we also give notice that if we will see more foot dragging on the part of his administration, we will intensify peaceful civil disobedience to bring more urgency to President Obama, as well as to other leaders.
Obama has nothing to lose in his second term. Rather than put his faith in a gridlocked Congress, he should look out to the people who applauded when he spoke out about climate change. At this particular historical moment, he can generate a popular response to the climate crisis that will make change possible.
President Obama should set out an agenda and be specific about how he is going to move the US to reducing its emissions, increase investment in renewable energy and actually generate tens of thousands of jobs for Americans at home; but he should also have a different approach to the role that the US has globally on the issue of climate change.
We hope that the Obama administration will take a different posture at global climate change negotiations and become an agent of change, instead of remaining an obstructionist. That would be a real relief.

Thank you very much Kumi, ...and I think it is up to us to insure he keeps this promise and he lives up to his words. It's sad that nearly half the country voted for Romney, ...for agressive off shore drilling and climate change denial, ...and that remains the challenge we face and must address in post election. The lobbyists from the war machine, oil industry, and those that would rape our earth for profit, will be decending on our president like a pack of wolves with very sharp teeth. We as a people must peacefully, but also through aggressive action demand change to temper their power and control, and give him the strength to confront these evil forces. The hardest battle though will be to win the hearts and minds of the other half of our people. Love is the answer... Greenpeace is the answer...

I don't mean to be posting in here too often, but you know it hurts me, some of the things that are said, I can only hope Kumi stands above these things and does not take them to heart. I would do my best to try to defend Greenpeace's executive director, and I thought some of you might want to know why I trust and believe in this man so deeply. A little audio tribute page I've made for him, hoping to offer some inspiration to Kumi, and as a very grateful child. Love to you all...

It was only a couple of weeks ago that the photoshopped pic of Alison Brie in a Captain America uniform made the Internet explode with awesomeness. Happily, the Avengeresses (or whatever) don't stop there — check out Amer Heard as a terrifyingly gorgeous Thor (or maybe Valkyrie if you want to get nitpicky about it), and a shockingly great-looking Sandra Bullock as Iron Woman, thanks to the same genius who made "Miss America" (check out more of his work here). Now, if we can just get Adrianne Palicki as She-Hulk, Gillian Jacobs as Hawkeye, Pam Grier as Nichole Fury and then maybe Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Black Widower, I think we'll be set.

Primary tabs
- Testing Geochemical proxy relationships under variable paleo-seawater chemical conditions
- Reconstructing surface ocean acidification at the PETM
- Validating the boron isotope proxy in deep-sea corals and tracing anthropogenic CO2 invasion
My main interest is focussed on the understanding and reconstruction of past marine carbonate chemistry. Specifically, I seek to validate and apply the boron isotope proxy for past seawater pH. The methods used for the validation work are culture experiments with living planktic foraminifers, as well as observations on planktic and benthic foraminifers from coretop sediments, and now also bamboo corals. Specifically I studied the influence of symbiont photosynthesis on the pH recorded by planktic foraminifers (Hönisch et al., 2003) and scleractinian corals (Hönisch et al., 2004). The boron isotopic composition of symbiont-bearing planktic foraminifers also changes with foraminiferal shell size, as it appears that larger individuals spend relatively more time closer to the seasurface where light levels are higher and symbiont photosynthesis is stronger (Hönisch and Hemming, 2004). In the latter study we also describe a significant post-depositional dissolution effect on the boron isotopic composition in foraminifera shells. Although these side effects are significant, the detailed knowledge of these proxy limitations now allows us to carefully select sample material for paleoreconstructions. I am currently applying the boron isotope proxy to reconstruct ocean acidification across the Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum.
The B/Ca proxy for marine carbonate chemistry is fairly new and we continue to test it in culture experiments Allen et al., 2011, Allen et al., 2012), where we can control environmental conditions. I am also particularly interested in testing proxy relationships of times when the minor and trace element composition of seawater was different from today.

Although there are no final agreements for wood pellet facilities at North Carolina's ports, the N.C. State Ports Authority board of directors last week voted to let officials continue working toward contracts with the companies that will build them.
Jeff Miles, the port's executive director, will work in consultation with Danny McComas, the board's chairman, to iron out details with Enviva Holdings for a facility at the Port of Wilmington and International Wood Fuels for one in Morehead City.
"You've got the legalese that has to be put together, and they have to finalize the final numbers and things of that nature," McComas said.
A final decision could come as early as Monday, when the board is having a special meeting via teleconference.
Although nothing is final, documents provided to the board give a glimpse into what the wood pellet facilities could look like.
Enviva's facility, for instance, wouldn't cost the Ports Authority anything, as the company has agreed to foot the bill for an overhaul of a terminal that would make shipping wood pellets possible.
Wood pellets are an increasingly common source of energy in Europe, largely because of clean energy requirements. A study from Daniel Saloni of N.C. State's Department of Forest Biomaterials estimated that consumption of pellets would leap from 8.3 million tons in 2009 to 17 million by 2015, and several of those producers have reached out to the Ports Authority.
"Many of these companies have been in touch with the Authority to discuss development of port facilities to handle wood pellets via the Port of Wilmington," according to a briefing prepared for the board. "Only Enviva, however, proposed to finance, design and build the facilities with no capital contribution from the Authority."
Renovations to the Wilmington terminal could include building rail and truck unloading stations, two concrete storage domes and a ship loader/dock conveyor system. Enviva has experience building the terminals, having already designed one in Chesapeake, Va.
Per the tentative framework provided to board members, Enviva would lease the land for the facility from the port, paying lease fees per acre, as well as throughput fees per metric ton. Lease fees, though, would be waived for the first five years.
The pellet company's lease and operating agreement could be conditioned on Enviva investing in two or three more plants in North Carolina, with output totaling at least 1 million metric tons per year. At that production, two or three trains a week would pass through the Port of Wilmington.
Currently, Enviva is manufacturing pellets at plant in Ahoskie, in Hertford County, and shipping them through the Chesapeake terminal. The company is also finishing work on a plant in Northhampton County that will ship from Virginia. While the Wilmington pellet facility wouldn't cost the authority anything, it could spend up to $15 million to build the International Wood Fuels Facility in Morehead City.
International Wood Fuels, which will operate here as WoodFuels N.C., doesn't have production taking place in North Carolina yet, but it plans to start shipping pellets from a facility in Sims as early as July 2014 and open a second plant in 2015.
Per its agreement, annual production will be at least 285,000 metric tons beginning in 2015, rising to 400,000 metric tons when the second plant is finished.
To create a facility that can handle the relatively low guaranteed production at Morehead City, the Ports Authority is planning to use the existing ship loader and rehab an existing rail unloading station instead of building new ones. The only new construction would be two domes, one for each pellet plant.
McComas wants the wood pellet facilities to get off the ground so the ports can begin to focus on internal infrastructure.
"We need to start making money. We start generating a cash flow so we can start investing in the ports, repairs and capital improvements that have been put off for too long," he said.

February 2007, Vol. XXIV, No. 2
As a consequence of its premorbid impairments, insidious onset, and relative treatment resistance, childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) presents clinicians with a number of diagnostic dilemmas and treatment challenges. COS occurs in fewer than 1 in 10,000 children1 and fewer than 1% of patients with schizophrenia receive this diagnosis in childhood.2 The ages and rates at onset are similar in boys and girls.3
Characterized by the onset of psychosis before the age of 13 years, COS is typically preceded by behavioral and cognitive symptoms that overlap with features of autism spectrum disorders, affective and disruptive behavior disorders, and speech and language disorders.1,3 Premorbid and comorbid psychiatric disorders make the diagnosis of COS a challenge and its treatment complicated. Persons with COS appear to have the poorest outcome among those in whom schizophrenia is diagnosed,4,5 so early detection of and intervention for COS may be important to maximize the impact of treatment for children and their families.
Premorbid precursors
Children in whom schizophrenia develops commonly show aberrant social and cognitive development in the very early stages, before the onset of psychosis. Precursors of COS include high rates of soft neurologic signs (minor neurologic abnormalities that are not associated with a specific neurologic disorder), significant delays in language and motor development, and social withdrawal.2Table 1 identifies behavioral precursors of COS and common premorbid childhood psychiatric disorders.
The lack of a well-defined period of normal development in children with COS may obscure the delineation of illness onset, making accurate diagnosis more difficult. Compared with adolescent- and adult-onset schizophrenia, the rates of insidious onset in COS are considerably higher, 71%6 compared with about 61% in adolescent and adult cases.7
Clinical assessment and differential diagnosis
COS is 50 times less likely to occur than adolescent-onset schizophrenia.2 The diagnosis of COS requires the presence of persistent hallucinations or delusions, disorganized speech and behavior (positive symptoms), and/or lack of developmentally appropriate affect and goal-directed behaviors (negative symptoms) for at least 1 month, and enduring impairment for at least 6 months. The current criteria in DSM-IV-TR for the diagnosis of COS are identical to those for a diagnosis of schizophrenia in adults with only one modification, namely, a child's failure to achieve an expected level of interpersonal, academic, or occupational achievement, which may replace a deterioration in function. There is no minimum age requirement for COS, and therefore, it can be diagnosed in very young children who meet the above criteria. However, it is rarely diagnosed before preschool age.
Optimal strategies for assessing and diagnosing COS include a structured or semistructured interview with the child and parent, in addition to a clinical interview and observation. A well-accepted semistructured interview is the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia–Present and Lifetime Versions.8
Because of the frequent preexisting thought and language dysfunction, COS is often more challenging to diagnose than schizophrenia in adolescents. For example, delusions or hallucinations may not be easily distinguished from the odd and idiosyncratic thinking in developmental disorders. In addition, a child's report of auditory hallucinations is frequently not pathognomonic of schizophrenia, since most children who report hallucinations do not have schizophrenia and many do not have psychotic disorders9—these hallucinations may simply be hypnagogic or hypnopompic.
Delusions in childhood exceed exaggerated magic beliefs, and these "fixed false beliefs" are often frightening and may drive a child to take an irrational action in an attempt to counteract them. For example, a child with a delusion that a sibling has AIDS and is trying to infect him or her might seek to "protect" himself or herself by wearing boots in the shower and hiding from the sibling at home. Similar counteractive protective behaviors may be observed in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder; however, delusions are often more bizarre than obsessions, and in general, delusional children do not believe that the danger diminishes as a result of their own responses (ie, compulsive rituals do not neutralize the fears).
True psychotic symptoms must be differentiated from children's reports of psychotic-like phenomena surrounding the idiosyncratic thinking and perceptions associated with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), psychotic-like symptoms that may arise in children with posttraumatic stress syndrome, or anxiety-related transient "phobic" hallucinations. Psychotic symptoms in adolescents, compared with those of young children, are often more clearly described because of the increased developmental abilities of teens to articulate their inner experiences, which helps make the diagnosis of schizophrenia more clear-cut.
The comorbidity and overlap between PDD and COS sometimes makes these 2 disorders difficult to distinguish. Children with PDD may have more idiosyncratic, poorly formulated, peculiar thoughts that may shift or evolve over time. Like children with COS, children with PDD may also have odd beliefs—for example, that they are able to communicate with valued inanimate objects. Phobic hallucinations usually occur in the context of anxiety, such as a child "seeing" a frightening face in the window when it is dark, but which may not trouble the child during the day when the anxiety is muted.
Children with COS often fail to acquire the necessary social skills to fit in with same-age peers and frequently end up isolated. Significant rejection from peers, isolation from sports and other social activities, and generalized confusion and fear may emerge and permeate daily life.

KenoWi to end publication
KenoWi.com is ceasing publication as of today, the local news website's parent company, 2Hill Media LLC, has announced.
"While we have made great progress since KenoWi.com started in September of 2010, we have not been able to achieve the kind of results that would have allowed us to keep KenoWi.com going as a viable business,"said Darren Hillock, the site's co-publisher. "We want to thank all of you who became regular readers of KenoWi over the last two plus years. We also want to thank our contributors — especially Margie Gentner and Earlene Frederick — for helping us publish an interesting and timely alternative news source about Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie and Somers. We also appreciate all of the community organizations and government representatives that kept us informed of their activities along the way and the many loyal readers who spread the word about KenoWi.com.
2Hill Media's other local news website, westofthei.com, is unaffected by this announcement and will continue to cover Western Kenosha County.
KYF meeting report
Yesterday, Alderperson Chris Schwartz, from the 2nd district, hosted a meeting at the Kenosha Public Museum, for the developer and architect of a proposed apartment project in the former Kenosha Youth Foundation (KYF) building, 720 – 59th Place. David Nankin, developer and owner, and architect, Tom O'Connell, made their presentation and answered questions from the group of roughly 50 people.
Nankin and O'Connell brought renderings of their concept plan:
Change in demerit points gets deferred
At yesterday's Licensing & Permit Committee meeting, Alderperson David Bogdala spoke on his proposed ordinance change regarding demerit points. He wants to change the amount of demerit points assessed to license holders of Class B and Class C establishments, and bartenders. His proposed changes included:
- Changing the amount of demerit points for second offense Driving Under the Influence (DUI) convictions from 40 to 80 points; and
- Changing the amount of demerit points for selling to underage persons from 20 points to 40 points.
Once an establishment has accumulated 100 points, they are called to appear in front of the Licensing & Permit Committee. Bogdala said, "This is a serious issue. We have alcohol issues in the city of Kenosha. One strike and you're out if it were up to me."
KUSD adopts employee handbook
At a very long meeting of the Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) board, the employee handbook was approved by a vote of 4 to 3. This was after extensive debate by the board.
There was first a motion to defer called by board member Rebecca Stevens. The roll call vote was 3 to 4. Those voting against the deferral were board members David Gallo, Bob Nuzzo, Tamarra Coleman, and Mary Snyder. Then, the roll call vote on the main motion was to adopt, as presented. The roll call vote was 4 to 3 in favor. Those voting against were Rebecca Stevens, Jo Ann Taube, and Carl Bryan. Those voting against said that the reason for their dissenting votes was that they didn't get all of their questions answered.
"Chalk Talk Kenosha" makes its way to Madison
Do you remember the community art project that was on display in various business in downtown Kenosha last summer? Well, it has made its way to the state capitol art gallery in Madison. See below for some pictures:
In a photograph a young woman holds up a sign that reads, "A man robbed me and put a knife to my kid's neck." With her hair pulled back in a practical ponytail and chips evident in her brightly colored fingernail polish, the young woman poses purposely for the camera. But is her message a plea for help, some kind of message the viewer is supposed to act upon? Written in chalk on black construction paper, this chilling statement is a response to seemingly simple request: Describe an incident that changed you. The request, stark response, and subsequent photograph are all part of a "chalk talk" workshop conducted at the Kenosha Literacy Council.
Dog and cat ordinance denied by public safety & welfare committee
A proposed ordinance regarding dogs and cats was not approved at the Public Safety & Welfare Committee meeting earlier this evening. This ordinance change called for a three-foot high fence to be erected in the yard when the dog or cat was being kept, or for the owner to be present. The vote was unanimous. This ordinance proposal was also pulled from the Common Council's agenda last Wednesday by the sponsor, Alderperson Scott Gordon.
Kenosha police chief John Morrissey spoke as a citizen and in his official capacity as police chief as well. As a citizen, he said that he didn't understand what problem the ordinance was trying to fix. The ordinance basically says that a person's dog or cat can't be tied up in the front yard unless the dog or cat is with the owner. He stated that his own home abuts an alley. He sees problems with this ordinance as a citizen and a taxpayer, and he urged the committee to deny it.
Forecast: Tuesday pretty warm, Thursday pretty cold, weekend pretty normal

About those technical difficulties …
Regular, or even occasional, readers of KenoWi.com may have experienced some difficulties in reaching the site late Thursday and much of Friday. Our hosting company was having unexpected server difficulties that resulted in the problem. Eventually we were moved to a new server, which has cleared up the issue. The experience also has prompted us to think about some more vigorous hosting and we are considering several options. The end result will be an even better experience for those that visit KenoWi.com in the future.
Thank you for your loyalty and patience while we worked this out.
Darren and Karen Hillock
Winter Storm Watch issued for Sunday
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for an area that includes Kenosha County from Sunday morning until late Sunday night.
The forecast calls for snow in the morning changing to snow and sleet perhaps with freezing rain after noon. There's a 100 percent chance of some kind of precipitation, but snow and sleet accumulation is expected to be less than a half inch here.
Among the hazards cited by the storm watch statement are:
Resolution approved regarding same-day voter registration
A resolution sponsored by Alderperson Curt Wilson and co-sponsored by Alderpersons Tod Ohnstad, Rocco LaMacchia, Daniel Prozanski, Keith Rosenberg, Scott Gordon, Jan Michalski, and Patrick Juliana was approved by a roll call vote of 11 to 2 on Wednesday night at the Common Council Meeting. Those alderpersons voting against were Alderpersons Steve Bostrom and David Bogdala. The resolution urged the governor to veto any legislation that would eliminate registration at the polls.
Bostrom wanted the resolution to be referred to the Legislative Commission. He stated that he was not aware of any pending legislation to limit any registration at the polls. He also said that the Council has a body that should meet regularly, and that this is one of the issues that should be reviewed by that committee.

Licensing and permit decisions
On Wednesday night, the Common Council met and ruled on several licensing and permit issues. These are summarized below:
- Seven new operator's (bartender) licenses were approved, subject to various amounts of demerit points.
- One new taxi driver's license was approved, subject to 90 demerit points. Two others were denied.
Simmons Field gets approved for conditional use permit
At last night's City Plan Commission meeting, two agenda items were acted upon. The first had to do with a conditional use permit for a renovation to the stadium at Simmons Field at 7817 Sheridan Road, requested by The Northwoods League. The field is located in the 12th district.
Vern Stenman of the Northwoods League, said that they've developed their plans further since the last time he appeared before the commission. They've been fine-tuning the plan, and they are ready to bid the work.
Stenman said that Alderperson Steve Bostrom pointed out an inaccuracy in the plan to him. The elevation of the front entry gate was inaccurate. The back entry gate along the right field line should be an attractive entrance. Stedman said that they will make the adjustment, and the rendering will then show accurately.
Meeting on old KYF building
Alderperson Chris Schwartz, 2nd district, will be hosting a community meeting regarding the old KYF building project, located at 720 – 59th Place. The meeting will take place at 6 pm on Tuesday, January 29th, at the Kenosha Public Museum, 5500 First Avenue, in Room 119.
David Nankin, the property owner/developer of the housing project, as well as former mayor John Antaramian, a consultant for this project, will be available to discuss this development.
Discussions will include the following:
- Refreshing Kenosha residents with the development plan for the building;
- Educating people what Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) tax credits are, what type of WHEDA program the developer is applying for, and why this is not being developed as a full market rate building; and
- Discussing the property management plan for this building and the developer's current management skills in other local properties.
All interested parties are invited to attend.
Peanuts . . . naturally
The Kenosha Public Museum will host a new exhibit starting on Saturday, January 26th. It's called "Peanuts . . . Naturally." Featuring the comic cartoon artwork of Charles M. Schulz, it's a light-hearted look at Schulz's exploration of the natural world through Peanuts comic strips, videos, objects, and interactive stations. The exhibit will be on display in the Touhey Gallery until April 28th. There are also Peanuts items for sale in the gift shop.
Police chief says crime stats up
At this morning's Police and Fire Commission meeting, Police Chief John Morrissey talked about the 2o12 crime statistics. He provided some unaudited numbers. There were 111,177 calls for service last year, compared to 107,114 in 2011. Arrests were up slightly, from 10,592 in 2011, to 10,662 in 2012. Traffic citations went from 15,873 in 2011, to 17,387 in 2012.
The Community Service Officer (CSO) program, a new program in 2012, had no 2011 statistics for comparison. The CSO calls for service totaled 6,706. CSO court citations were 309, and CSO trap calls totaled 809.
Keys to the municipal building a big issue
The resolution by Alderperson Kevin Mathewson (8th district) to direct that all alderpersons be given a key to the municipal office building was a major topic of discussion at three meetings earlier tonight. The item appeared on the Public Works Committee, Finance Committee, and Common Council meeting agendas.
At the Public Works Committee meeting, Alderperson Jan Michalski said that, as long as he's been an alderperson, he has not had a key. He said that he realizes it might be financially burdensome for some alderpersons to go to a coffee shop with their constituents, but there are other public places to meet, like the library. Plus, he mentioned other issues regarding liability, logistics, etc. He also said that the issue would be moot anyway since the mayor said that a keyless system was being looked into.
