School will soon start again, and countless LGBT youth will return to classrooms all over the country. Some will return to schools where they find support and protection from harassment -- where administrators and teachers work together to ensure a safe learning environment to all students.Some won't.
Be Who You Are
Some students will return to schools where officials turn a blind eye to bullying and harassment. Some will face administrators who tell them "it's only words and words can't hurt you". Some will return to schools in communities where people oppose protecting LGBT students from harassment. Some will contend with people who believe some students should be harassed -- and that some harassment should be permitted -- "for their own good."
Some of those students will make it, but some won't.
Some will have no one to stand up for them, or to show them how to stand up for themselves.
I hope someone tells them about Rochelle Hamilton.
A high school student who says that she was harassed by her teachers in 2007, because she is a lesbian has won a legal settlement from the Vallejo City Unified School District, officials confirmed Monday.
Under the agreement, the district will pay $25,000 to Rochelle Hamilton, 16, who had come out as a lesbian at age 13. The district will also bolster its anti-gay-discrimination training and complaint procedures for all staff and students and be monitored by the American Civil Liberties Union for five years.
... Rochelle began attending Vallejo's Jesse Bethel High School as a sophomore in the fall of 2007, and was accosted with verbal harassment that continued for months. Most of the attacks, she said, came from her teachers and school staff.
According to Rochelle, a teacher approached while she was hugging her girlfriend and said, "This is ungodly, and you're going to hell."
Another teacher allegedly asked her, "What are you, a man or a woman?"
She was required to participate in a school-sponsored "counseling" group designed to discourage students from being lesbian or gay.
I hope they have adults like Cheri Hamiltonin their lives.
So tell me, what's this journey been like for you?
Cheri: It has been long and painful. With the support from De-Bug and the ACLU, I felt I finally had people who understood our pain. I had to write many letters and make many phone calls, not allowing the district to run from this. Every issue Rochelle faced and every tear she dropped, I brought it to their attention.
Meanwhile, I held Rochelle, reminding her that nothing was wrong with her, that she was beautiful inside and out. As Rochelle asked me why the teachers wouldn't stop, I reminded her what her father and I endured for being a black and white couple, and if we would have given in to a hateful society then she wouldn't be here. As Rochelle listened, she realized that she also had to stand up for herself and others. I was not backing down and reminded the school administrators that my daughter has a right to be herself and receive an education in their district. While Rochelle grabbed her strength from me and as I counseled her through every putdown, she gained strength, and became a shoulder or a ear for LGBTQ (lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer) friends wanting to offer any support that they needed. It reminded her how important it was for her to continue the fight for change.
What was the school's reaction to the case and to Rochelle? Were at least any of them sympathetic or apologetic to Rochelle?
Cheri: The school and the district chose to be sympathetic, but (they were) not willing to apologize. The settlement agreement speaks loudly. Rochelle and I have not focused on a pacified five-letter word "SORRY," but rather we fought for a six-letter word: "CHANGE." That was our goal, and we won what we really wanted, to make Vallejo a safer learning environment for all students.
Is there a message you have for other parents of gay teens who have to go through this and don't know what to do?
Cheri: Always have the will! You are your child's voice! They are not heard unless you speak. Always be proud of your kids and remember how special they are. Smiles last forever in a mother's heart. Listen to your kids and find out what is going on at their school, who their teachers are, and if your child is complaining, upset or withdrawn, find out why.
I hope someone shares with them her words of encouragement.
A gay friend told me recently that his teacher said to him, "You just want to be a girl." I told him to write a complaint. I was so proud that now there's something we can do. There are too many students who are harassed. Students have rights too. Young people are strong. We have a voice. There are students like me all over California who are working to make their schools and their lives better. When something is wrong, we need to stand up and make a difference. Young people like me, we're not looking for a five letter word, "sorry." We're looking for a six letter word: "change."
I go to school to learn, but the experience of standing up for myself and for my rights taught me some important lessons.
Lesson Number One: Students can take a stand against adults who discriminate. And they can win. Even when those adults are teachers.
Lesson Number Two: I have the right to be myself. You have the right to be yourself. We all have the right.
So this is my message to everybody else being discriminated against: keep fighting, be who you are 'till the day you die, always stand up for yourself. Or, as I say in a poem I wrote: "I'm happy with my sexuality and I say it with pride you see because this is my life and this is me."
I can tell you from my own experience that they really need to hear it.
It can make all the difference in the world.

Next week, band camp starts. I know most of the kids but there are always a few new young ones. I now for sure that where I am these kids will definitely be supported by administration and lots of teachers and other students.
In the band they have lots of support, I make sure of it but so do the other instructors generally.
My only concern right ow is that we have a bunch of new instructors this year that I will be teaching with and they are unbelievable young actually younger than almost all teachers in the field(long story)I hope that they are as accepting and safe as the previous people being replaced. I fear that the lack of experience is going to lead to them saying stupid things.
Some will return to schools in communities where people oppose protecting LGBT students from harassment. Some will contend with people who believe some students should be harassed -- and that some harassment should be permitted -- "for their own good."
It is do dreadful that some parents think that their children should have a right to harass another child --- because that child is LGBT, or any other reason. Such cruelty is often defended with "My child has a right to express his/her religious viewpoints" or "We're exercising our right to free speech (or freedom of religion)."
Of course, stating a viewpoint as a matter-of-fact must be protected --- but making a campaign of cruelty out of it cannot be tolerated.
School administrators, and those of us who champion anti-bullying efforts, have to counter this nonsense by impressing the critical point: Your rights end where the other person's rights begin, and no student has the right to wreck havoc on the safe learning environment of another student. A student has the right to a safe learning environment the same as an employee has a right to a safe working environment.
Bullying and harassment in the school environment
is totally unacceptable. Having been subjected to
bullying while I was in high school in the 1960's,
I am very pleased to see that the issue is being
addressed. There was a time when bullying was
seen by administrators and teachers yet nothing
was done to stop it. Society has changed alot since
when I was in high school. There was a time when the person being harassed was viewed as having done something to justify the bullying occurring to them. I honestly feel we have reached a time when some teachers, administrators and other students will not remain silent to harassment.
I'm lucky enough to attend a amazing art school soon. I should receive support there, unlike at my old schools.
I just read the article you linked to about your own story, and noticed that you went to art school too!
My eight year old transgender daughter isn't going to school this year. Saying she isn't allowed on campus is not quite honest. She's allowed if she agrees to go stealth (sorry, she's too claustrophobic to stay in a closet), and not use a bathroom all day. I've looked outside of our school district, too.
Moving from a military base overseas back to the states so she could have the freedom to be herself hasn't quite worked out since the last teacher in a public school (stateside) used male pronouns, graphed her on the boys side in blue, called her by the boy version of her name, excluding her from all group activities... I could go on for hours.
Anyway, I'm not going to put her out there to be abused anymore when the local school won't even allow her to attend as a transgender student. Instead, I will now stay home, homeschooling her, allowing her to be herself because it's the most important thing that she be allowed to be who she really is. So glad to see others telling kids to be true to who they really are, rather than asking them to go stealth or hide in a closet just to make it more comfortable on everyone else.
i admire them all
they are brave and beautiful
best wishes to them all!
I have mixed emotions about the new Harvey Milk High School for homosexuals in New York City. I prefer to see gay students enjoy equal rights and equally safe space inside integrated public schools. But, I know my preference will not protect their spirits or skulls...In the real world, homosexuals are tortured daily in high schools all across America.
Teens typically bully and abuse varied peers. However, gaybashing is the only form of bullying that is sanctioned by law and frequently blessed by "God". Other victims are protected by faculty. Faculty members often encourage gaybashing with religious lies or even join teens as they bash gay students emotionally, verbally, and physically. Gay students are the only bullied students who are essentially told daily: "If God and Jesus were students here, they would beat/tease/reject/abuse your faggot/sissy/dyke ass too!!!...They are both gonna send you to hell after graduation too..."
I was deeply closeted as a teen to avoid such sheer torture. I lived a lie until I was 21. I attended a university at age 12. I buried my life and my gay secret inside textbooks for as long as possible...I was a coward. I admire all the out gay teens who are far braver than I was. I applaud those NYC administrators who reward their bravery with sanctuary rather than with slander and apathy.
I have heard arrogantly ignorant and uneducated gaybashers who do not even know who Harvey Milk is dare to feign a valid opinion on this topic. Typically, most are pseudo-christians who are closeted homosexuals. These hypocritical idiots dare to argue that public tax dollars should not be used to fund this high school. Simultaneously, these fools dare to demand that public funds be used to urge public politicos to fashion bigoted laws that adhere to their own twisted and hateful religious beliefs. Are gay teens not public citizens also? Do their heterosexual/homosexual parents not pay taxes? As always, special rights are equal rights for despised people...
Public schools should be safe for all students irrespective of their sexuality. What other options are any of these gaybashers offering to these gay students? None!!! They could not care less.
We homosexuals are who we are born to be. We have the right to an equal and public education in a safe place. I wish every public school had an out gay faculty member. All children begin to explore and express sexuality long before high school. All of them need and deserve positive role models, especially the homosexual ones.
For the record, the cultural war over homosexuality is over. We homosexuals won that war. We beat the biblical gaybashers by studying their own bible. We beat the biological idiots by forcing them to study the universal science of sexuality. And, in NYC, we beat the gaybashing bullies by forcing them to study alone. This is why gaybashers in 2003 sound exactly like frantic racists in 1953. Those racists became just as rabid when they knew that blacks would no longer endure rabid racism. The gaybashers know that we homosexuals are also no longer enduring their heterosexist hatred and biblical lies. Our wars have just begun....and we will win them all!!!
Success is the best revenge. Racial integration has proven that integration is often deeply flawed. We all now know that separation can indeed be equal and even superior. Like gender segregation, sexual segregation may lead to superior academic performance. Many of us homosexuals are intellectually gifted overachievers. I would love for these gay students to compare ETS scores with the gaybashers they ditched very soon...
Kudos to NYC for being humane enough to protect gay students from gaybashers in academia. NYC is living in the new millennium. Let us hope and pray that the rest of the world stops lagging behind NYC ASAP...

Lakers Rumors: Los Angeles Front Office Upset with Clippers Chris Paul TradeDecember 15, 2011
After trading away Eric Gordon, Al-Farouq Aminu, Chris Kaman and a conditional first-round pick that could in the top five to the New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul, the Los Angeles Clippers are feeling a lot better about the future of their team now that they have one of the league's top point guards on their side.
With Paul set to join Blake Griffin and form one of the league's top duos, the Clippers are not only going to be one of the league's most exciting and entertaining teams to watch, but they'll also achieve relevance for the first time since 2007, which happens to be the last time they made the postseason. The Clippers have usually been one of sports' easiest punchlines, but that may no longer be the case with Paul now set to run the point.
CP3 has worked miracles before. Take a look at the 2008 New Orleans Hornets, who he led to 56 wins and a division title when David West, Peja Stojakovic and Morris Peterson were the top contributors.
This trade also momentarily works wonders for the Hornets as well since they'll be receiving a potential superstar in Eric Gordon, a project in Aminu and a solid center in Chris Kaman, who has been known to cause some damage when healthy. They also receive a conditional first-round pick from Minnesota that is sure to result in the top five for the Hornets.
Hey, that's all fine and dandy for the Clippers and Hornets, but the Los Angeles Lakers are feeling a little peeved to say the least. Reports are coming in that the prestigious franchise is fuming over the trade, especially with what transpired a week earlier when the Lakers made their own little deal to obtain Chris Paul.
In a deal that would have sent Pau Gasol to Houston as well as Luis Scola, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic and Lamar Odom being sent to New Orleans, the Lakers in return would have obtained the services of Chris Paul. Losing Odom and Gasol would have been devastating blows, but the team would at least have somewhat of a future to look forward to with CP3 now on the team and forming quite possibly the best back court in NBA history between himself and Kobe Bryant.
Only a few hours after the trade was about to be set in stone, the NBA intervened and nullified the trade by citing "basketball reasons" as the cause of the deal being struck dead. In response to being traded, Odom felt distraught and would end up demanding a trade. He would get his wish shortly after and was sent to the Dallas Mavericks in return for a few draft picks.
So not only do the Lakers lose out on Chris Paul, but they also give up their lone quality player off the bench in Odom. With Odom now gone, the most the Lakers can rely on is Matt Barnes and Steve Blake. It only gets worse for the team as second-year forward Derek Caracter will have to possibly sit the next six weeks due to torn cartilage in his knee.
And now the Clippers get Chris Paul while not even having to get rid of Blake Griffin? Sure they had to give up Gordon and a high draft pick, but they also gave away an oft-injured center with an expiring contract and an unproven second year forward. The Lakers gave away Gasol and Odom to Houston and New Orleans and had their deal voided, so what exactly makes the Clippers trade valid and not the Lakers?
Not much really. The Hornets wouldn't have received a potential superstar in Gordon, but they'd still end up receiving a quality team to build around. Odom is one of the league's most multi-dimensional players that's capable of playing every position, Martin is a high volume scorer, Scola is excellent in the post and Dragic has the potential to be a starter after learning the ins and outs during his time with Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns.
Now the Lakers have to deal with a cross-town and division rival that has Chris Paul four times a year, while having absolutely no bench to rely on and no future to look forward to.
Can you blame the Lakers' front office for possibly being a little aggravated at this situation? They should be the ones with Chris Paul, not their rivals. The Lakers had to give up just as much to the Hornets and Rockets, while the Clippers were only forced to give up Gordon, who has an expiring contract and may not be with the Hornets for much longer.
So much for protecting the interests of a small market. The NBA blew it badly on this one and they may now see the demise of the Lakers franchise that has been supporting the league since the 1950's. They still might have Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, but with an aging Derek Fisher, a small forward who just averaged eight points per game and a center who can't keep his emotions in check, the Lakers aren't looking any better than the Hornets at this point.
They'll continue to go on their championship runs for the next few seasons, but there isn't that much to look forward to unless their plethora of rookies and second-year players miraculously turn into potential starters that are capable of leading a team, or if they can somehow land Dwight Howard.
The Lakers best bet would be to go after Howard. They still have Gasol and Bynum to let loose and Howard could potentially bring about a few players to play alongside him and start a new era in Lakers basketball.
Unless the NBA has something to say about that as well.

For one thing, you don't know who she is - or what her motives are. What if she is? How do you know she isn't?
So what if it were true? What if she were a Republican? What if it turned out she was some sort of real villain - a lying, cheating saboteur who also steals peoples' boyfriends just for fun, and throws them into the river when she's done with 'em? Would that mean PUMA is no longer a valid idea, or that your concerns about this election no longer matter?
The attacks on Murphy are a reframing of the narrative. Don't let them do it. Don't let them make it all about Murphy.
Keep it about YOU. Keep it about why PUMA came into being in the first place.
A better answer:
"you know, I have no idea who these people are who started PUMAPac and Just Say No Deal, but that doesn't matter to me, because the cause is just and I believe in it, and I will continue to believe in what I know to be right whether it turns out our "movement" is infiltrated by Republicans or not.You could even say:
In fact, I would be astonished if Republicans didn't try to do everything in their power to take advantage of this split in the party. But what Republicans do is not the point. It's what Democrats do that matters here. The Democratic 'leaders' need to address the rift in the party, instead of trying to purge the Clintons and all their supporters.Or here is another answer:
I can't control other people - or other peoples' motives - but I can control my own vote. And that is what PUMA is about: reclaiming that control. Both Obama and McCain are going to want to control us, but our movement is about us making our own choice and making our elected officials listen to us. So naturally we have to expect that they will try to stop us from taking back the power of our vote - they are going to infiltrate and sabotage and they are going to make up stories and they are going to try to make people not believe in us - but those games aren't going to work this time.Or here is another answer:
I don't care about those people. PUMA is real and the anger is real and the outrage is real and we are tired of being manipulated.But it is IMO a bad answer to let yourself get sidetracked onto arguments about the character or motives or hidden agenda of any particular PUMA. It's an argument you can't win - but could very easily lose.
What you feed is what will grow.
You can waste your breath insisting that Murphy is a good person (let alone sincere, lifelong Democrat, legitimate, and absolutely the best at baking tollhouse cookies), but the more you do, the less this debate is about what went wrong on May 31st and the more it is about digging up dirt on this person Murphy. Is that really what PUMA wants?
I don't mean to say throw Murphy under the proverbial bus - the last thing PUMA needs is its own bus - but on the other hand, do let Murphy be the one to make statements about what Murphy is and what Murphy isn't. It is always, always asking for trouble to try to vouch for someone you just met.
It's also not doing Murphy any favors. Murphy is probably better able to defend herself if we just stay out of it.

FDA Approval for Letrozole
Brand name(s): Femara®
- Approved for initial adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer in ER+ postmenopausal women
- Approved for extended adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer in ER+ postmenopausal women
Full prescribing information is available, including clinical trial information, safety, dosing, drug-drug interactions and contraindications.
On December 28, 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved letrozole tablets (Femara®, made by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.) for the adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive early breast cancer. The effectiveness of letrozole in early breast cancer is based on an analysis of disease-free survival in patients treated for a median of 24 months and followed for a median of 26 months. Follow-up analyses will determine long-term outcomes for both safety and efficacy.
A multicenter, double-blind clinical trial randomized over 8,000 postmenopausal women with resected (surgically removed) receptor-positive early breast cancer to one of the following arms:
- Arm A: tamoxifen for five years
- Arm B: letrozole for five years
- Arm C: tamoxifen for two years followed by letrozole for three years
- Arm D: letrozole for two years followed by tamoxifen for three years
The analysis includes data from the arms A and B together with data truncated 30 days after the change in treatment in the two sequential treatments (arms C and D). The comparison of monotherapy to sequential endocrine treatments will be conducted when the necessary number of events has been achieved.
Disease-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the earliest occurrence of invasive loco-regional recurrence, distant metastases, invasive contralateral breast cancer, or death from any cause. Significantly fewer disease-free survival events in patients treated with letrozole [hazard ratio 0.79 (95 percent CI: 0.68, 0.92) p=0.002] were observed.
Systemic disease-free survival was defined as time from randomization to invasive regional recurrence, distant metastases, or death from any cause. There were significantly fewer systemic disease-free survival events in patients treated with letrozole [hazard ratio 0.83 (95 percent CI: 0.70, 0.97) p=0.022].
Time-to-distant metastases was defined as time from randomization to distant metastases (death not included); significantly fewer events in patients letrozole-treated were noted [hazard ratio 0.73 (95 percent CI: 0.60, 0.88) p=0.001]. Survival was not significantly different between patients receiving letrozole and those receiving tamoxifen [hazard ratio 0.86 (95 percent CI: 0.70, 1.06) p=0.155].
The most common adverse events reported for letrozole compared to tamoxifen were hot flashes/flushes (33.7 percent vs. 38 percent), arthralgia/arthritis (21.1 percent vs. 13.4 percent), night sweats (14.1 percent vs. 16.4 percent), weight increase (10.7 percent vs. 12.9 percent), and nausea (9.5 percent vs. 10.4 percent).
Other adverse events of importance included fractures (5.7 percent vs. 4 percent), myocardial infarction (0.6 percent vs. 0.4 percent), endometrial cancer (0.2 percent vs. 0.4 percent), second malignancies (1.9 percent vs. 2.4 percent), and thromboembolic events (1.2 percent vs. 2.8 percent).
The recommended dose of letrozole tablets is one 2.5 mg tablet administered once a day, without regard to meals. In the adjuvant setting, the optimal treatment duration with letrozole is unknown. The planned treatment duration in the study is five years. However, at the time of analysis, the median treatment duration was 24 months, the median follow-up duration was 26 months, and 16 percent of the patients were treated for five years.
On October 29, 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted accelerated approval for letrozole tablets (Femara®, a trademark of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.) for the extended adjuvant treatment of early breast cancer in postmenopausal women who had received five years of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy. Approval was granted under accelerated approval regulations that require the sponsor to provide long-term outcome analyses.
Safety and efficacy were evaluated in a double-blind, multicenter, international clinical study in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive early stage breast cancer who had received five years of adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen. A total of 5,187 women who were within three months of completion of adjuvant tamoxifen were randomly assigned to receive five years of either letrozole or placebo.
Patients were stratified by hormone receptor status, lymph node status and prior adjuvant chemotherapy. Assessment of both safety and efficacy is limited because of short follow-up. The median duration of follow-up was 28 months; 30 percent of patients completed three or more years of follow-up and less than 1 percent were followed for five years or greater.
Approval was based on an analysis of disease free survival (DFS), defined as the time from randomization to the earliest event of time-to-loco-regional or distant recurrence of the primary disease, development of contralateral breast cancer, or death. At the time of analysis, the frequency of DFS events was 4.7 percent in patients receiving letrozole compared to 7.5 percent in patients receiving placebo (HR=0.62, 95 percent CI: 0.49, 0.78; p=0.00003). The risk of distant metastases was also significantly lower for letrozole than placebo (HR 0.61, 95 percent CI: 0.44, 0.84; p=0.003). Data on survival were not mature enough for analysis.
The long term risks of letrozole have not been fully evaluated. With short follow-up, the incidences of clinical fractures were comparable between patients who received letrozole (5.9 percent) and those receiving placebo (5.5 percent). The incidence of self-reported osteoporosis was higher in patients who received letrozole (6.9 percent) than in patients who received placebo (5.5 percent).
Preliminary results (20 month median follow-up) from a bone sub-study demonstrated that the mean decrease in hip bone mineral density (BMD) compared to baseline at two years was 3 percent versus 0.4 percent for letrozole versus placebo, respectively (p=0.048). The mean decrease in BMD from baseline for the lumbar spine at two years was 4.6 percent decrease and 2.2 percent for letrozole and placebo, respectively (p=0.069).
The incidence of cardiovascular ischemic events (lack of blood flow and oxygen to the heart) from the core randomized study was comparable between patients receiving letrozole (6.8 percent) and placebo (6.5 percent).
In the extended adjuvant setting, the optimal treatment duration with letrozole is unknown. In the randomized trial the median treatment duration was 24 months, with only 25 percent of patients treated for at least three years and less than 1 percent of patients treated for five years (the planned treatment duration). Treatment should be discontinued at tumor relapse.

Today was warm-ish, so I jumped at the opportunity to bare-leg it in some shorts, since it might be my last chance this year. And I was feeling a little aristocratic, so I threw on a big bowtie and a sharp blazer to class it up a bit. Nothing like mixing trashy with classy! ;)

Her eyes opened, but her mind was blank. Hermione Granger wakes up to find she can't remember anything about her life. Who were these people, who call themselves family and friends? At the present, the only one who seems able to provide any comfort is a boy. A boy who is the only one who knows what truly happened at her accident, a boy who is the only one not pressurising her to get her memories back. A boy called Draco Malfoy.

Joint fed-state river study to support future projects
28th October 2013 · 0 Comments
By Susan Buchanan
Contributing Writer
At a public meeting Wednesday, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority updated residents on a joint Louisiana Coastal Area study called the Mississippi River Hydrodynamic and Delta Management Study that's intended to underpin future projects. Funding for the study, which got under way in 2011 and predates the state's $50 billion Coastal Master Plan approved last year, is $25.4 million to be split between the feds and the state.
The MRHDM study was conceived more than ten years ago and authorized for the Louisiana Coastal Area under the federal Water Resources Development Act of 2007. The study area runs from Vicksburg, Miss., to the Old River Control Structure-located in a central Louisiana branch of the Mississippi River—to the Gulf of Mexico but doesn't include the Atchafalaya River, Carol Parsons Richards, hydrodynamic manager at CRPA said. She spoke Wednesday evening at the Lindy C. Boggs International Conference Center at University of New Orleans, following technical sessions on the study that afternoon.
Richards said the MRHDM study's goal is to use the Mississip-pi's fresh water, sediment and nutrients to restore the coastal ecosystem, while also managing the river in a balanced way. The two-part study is focused on river hydrodynamics on the one hand and management of the delta and basins on the other. Over thirty federal, state, academic and private scientists and engineers are engaged in the MRHDM. The hydrodynamic study is further along than the delta study, Richards said.
"Modeling and data from these two studies will be applicable in future projects," Chuck Perrodin, CPRA spokesman, said outside of the meeting last week. "In this area of research, for now, we're devoting our efforts to gain the best science and knowledge to maximize our effectiveness as we seek to utilize the Mississippi River—the greatest resource that nature has provided us," he said. So far, no coastal restoration or flood-control projects have been funded using study money. The study is building a foundation of knowledge that the state can rely on in the future, he said.
Richards said the objectives of the study's hydrodynamic portion include developing tools for the Lower Mississippi River so that researchers and project managers can understand existing conditions, evaluate the consequences of taking no action, and can assess cumulative impacts of restoration projects. Under the hydrodynamic portion, a final report analyzing geomorphic or natural features is expected in December. Data collection and analysis will continue into 2014. Production runs or results from the study's one-dimensional, hydrodynamic model—estimating variations in sediment delivery and deposition along the river—are expected in December 2013 and early 2014.
No-action simulations from the study's multi-dimensional hydrodynamic models are expected in December, following runs from those multi-models starting in early 2014, Richards said. Multi-dimensional modeling simulates water and sediment transport processes on the lower Mississippi, including salinity and temperatures.
The goals of the second study on delta management are to evaluate features that would increase the deposit of Mississippi River sediments in shallow coastal areas, restoring deltaic growth, Richards said. The intent there is to revive as many acres of wetlands as possible and to maintain habitats and diversity, she said.
In the two-part study, the hydrodynamic segment is expected to cost about $10.97 million, Perrodin said last week. As of Sept. 30, CPRA had spent roughly $2.8 million so far in funds and in-kind services on the hydrodynamic portion in an unaudited figure, he said, with expenses continuing. CPRA staffers have done some preparatory work for the delta management study but man hours in that phase have been minimal so far.
The Army Corps to date has spent $3.9 million on MRHDM study tasks, according to Cherie Price, the Corps' plan formulator for the study. For more information on the two-pronged MRHDM study and its components, visit lca.gov on the web.
In a separate but related development, the U.S. House of Representatives last Wednesday passed the Water Resources Reform and Development Act or WRRDA. In March, the Senate approved its version. The House bill provides authority for the Army Corps to use Louisiana's 2012 Coastal Master Plan rather than the Comprehensive Plan authorized under WRDA 2007, and directs the Corps to focus on high-priority, ecosystem projects identified in the Coastal Master Plan. But last week's House WRRDA bill doesn't include the Morganza to the Gulf project, a proposed system of levees and gates to protect Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
The House WRRDA bill creates a program to cut red tape and expedite Army Corps projects by delegating more management to state and local governments. Last year, the state told the Army Corps that it wanted to suspend work on some Louisiana Coastal Area projects because of the Corps' costly feasibility studies and a lack of congruity in a number of LCA projects with the Coastal Master Plan.

Cover boy in house and fielding questions
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, July 15, 2008
For the record, Tim Lincecum walked into the front door at Yankee Stadium without a hassle. No security guard thought he was a neighborhood kid trying to sneak into the big ballpark. Nobody thought he was a batboy returning from an errand.
Lincecum, who shared a cab with Giants teammate Brian Wilson from their Manhattan hotel to the Bronx, flashed his player ID card and got waved through.
"Right this way, sir," a guard told Lincecum, "down the stairs and right to the clubhouse."
You know you've arrived when you can feel at home at Yankee Stadium.
Lincecum has arrived. The 24-year-old right-hander, who's 11-2 with a 2.57 ERA, might not pitch in tonight's 79th All-Star Game, but he certainly belonged Monday. He fit in just as anyone in either clubhouse fit in, and wasn't stopped and second-guessed by guards, as has been the case in other ballparks.
He even looked the part. Instead of his scruffy lets-go-skateboarding look, he appeared at a pre-workout news conference - each All-Star sat behind a table and addressed the media for 50 minutes - wearing a white, button-down dress shirt, and never mind if it was untucked. His hair was combed, and he appeared clean shaven.
"Clean shaven?" he asked, rubbing his fingers across his chin. "I thought it would grow back by now."
If Lincecum doesn't pitch tonight, it'll be a shame, especially because the NL roster, unlike years' past, is without mega stars such as Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. Now along comes the Sports Illustrated cover boy from earlier this month, a sub-6-footer with ability to throw as hard as anyone a foot taller, mentioned in the same breath with other dynamic pitchers who burst on the scene and took baseball by storm: Dwight Gooden, Fernando Valenzuela, Mark Fidrych, Vida Blue.
Yet, he threw Sunday in Chicago, 116 pitches. So maybe the nation will miss him.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy altered his rotation nine days ago so that Lincecum would get an extra start before the All-Star break. Apparently, Bochy figured the National League West was so pathetic that the Giants, now 15 games below .500, still had a chance.
Arizona's Brandon Webb also pitched Sunday, eight fewer pitches than Lincecum, but he declared himself out of tonight's game on the advice of his team. NL manager Clint Hurdle said Lincecum would have been a candidate to start tonight if he hadn't pitched Sunday, and now one of the sport's most exciting young faces might not appear at all.
"I can't answer that," said Hurdle, who doesn't want to answer to the Giants if Lincecum gets hurt pitching on one day's rest. "I'll give him every opportunity. There are nine innings, and I've got 12 pitchers. If it only goes nine, there's a good chance some guys won't pitch."
Lincecum is taking the high road. Of course, he wants to pitch. This is his first All-Star Game, his first visit to lame-duck Yankee Stadium, his first chance to show his stuff on a national stage of this proportion. But he said he wouldn't be bummed if he simply sits and watches, which probably is the Giants' preference.
"It wouldn't be that upsetting," he said. "I'm just happy to be here, be part of this and be one of the names. That's enough for me as far as recognition."
Lincecum is taking advantage of the off-field opportunity. He and Wilson got autographs and took freebies, a tradition for any All-Star. One of Lincecum's goals was to meet Sandy Koufax, who was invited to participate in tonight's pregame ceremony honoring Hall of Famers. MLB counted 40 who RSVP'd, but Koufax wasn't on the list.
"I guess I'll have to meet other Hall of Famers," said Lincecum, who has special interest in Koufax because Lincecum's dad, Chris, who's also here and remains Tim's mentor, was a huge fan of the Dodgers' lefty.
Lincecum exercised patience during his Q&A even though every other question seemed to be about Yankee Stadium, its pending closure, its history, its mystique, its aura. When someone asked what he thinks of when thinking of Yankee Stadium, he said, "Babe Ruth and his head out there. I don't know exactly where it is because I've never been here, but I've seen people touch it." He was referring to the Ruth plaque that sits among the monuments beyond the outfield wall.
Is this guy genuine or what?
Asked for a Home Run Derby prediction, Lincecum said he couldn't predict a winner but, "Some balls are going to go really far."
He was asked about squatting when he eats: "A couple of guys on (the Giants) got on me about that. They think it's kind of funny, but it's quirky in me."
He was asked about the Giants nearly trading him to Toronto during the winter meetings: "In the back of my mind, I was thinking, 'That would be crazy, to be with two organizations in two years.' "
Then he was asked about getting to New York: "We went to the wrong airport."
Say what?
As it turns out, Lincecum and Wilson caught a cab from Wrigley Field - after Lincecum pitched eight innings and Wilson pitched the ninth in a 4-2 victory over the Cubs - and wound up at Midway instead of O'Hare, so they missed their flight and didn't arrive at New York's JFK until after midnight.
"We're, like, 'Hold on, I don't think we're supposed to be here,' " Wilson said.
Eventually, they did arrive.
In Lincecum's case, boy, did he ever.

Led by medalist Frances Telles' 37, the East Union Lancers followed with Jillian Goulart's 43, Selena Tiscareno's 44, and the three-way-tie of Jenny Ketner, Angelique Cardoza, and Kailee Nuding's cumulative 56.
"Frances was 1-over-par, and that's very good on a course like that," East Union head coach Dennis Wells said. "We didn't really want to see all of those 56s on the scorecards, but for our first match of the year it wasn't bad. We have a lot of potential, and we'll get pretty low here before too long."
Sierra 295, Lathrop 304FRENCH CAMP – Allison Smith led the honors as the medalist for Sierra Thursday afternoon with her team low 48 at French Camp Golf Course as the Timberwolves narrowly cruised to a victory over the Lathrop Spartans.
Rounding out the scoring was Melanie Kiesel with 51, Jessica Lewis with 60, Kianna Nelson with 62, and Holly Cook with 66.
Lathrop fielded a low score of 50 by Chelsea Brown followed by a 54 of Marissa Leon, a 62 by Cecilia Fernandez, and a 71 by Christina Garcia.
Manteca 319, Kimball 328The Buffaloes needed each one of their players' performances Thursday, as the squad rebounded from a tough loss to Oakdale with a nine-stroke win at Manteca Golf Park.

Micaela Dias recorded medalist honors with a round of 52, while teammates Airenne Curry and Brooke Mejorado turned in a 60 and 65, respectively. Maria Saavedra (70) and Kaylie Grimes (72) fell in behind Mejorado.

Around the Farm: August 7, 2014
Ramsey, Loopstok, Vick power their way to the top of Around the Farm
Around the Farm takes a quick look at some of yesterday's performances by Cleveland prospects throughout the system. The positions listed below are where the player was playing in yesterday's game.
James Ramsey (CF, Columbus): 2-for-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 SO
Ramsey's debut with the organization had not gone smoothly, but Thursday, the 24-year-old flipped the script, launching his first two extra base hits and looking the part of a priority prospect. Naturally, taking too much away from one good game is as irresponsible as making judgments on Ramsey's rough first five games, but there is a balance to be found. Clearly Ramsey has work to do on making consistent contact (12 strikeouts in six games), but the center fielder has shown an ability to do something with the ball when he connects. Ramsey's first exposure to Triple-A -- which doubles as his time in the Cleveland organization -- has not been a smooth transition, but luckily he will be judged on a lot more than six Triple-A games at the beginning of August 2014.
Sicnarf Loopstok (DH, AZL Indians): 2-for-3, 2 R, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 1 BB
Loopstok may have gotten a late start to the season, but the 2013 13th round pick has done his best to cram an entire season into his first two games, launching two home runs in each game. For those keeping track, after Loopstok only had two extra base hits in 24 games with the Scrappers last year (a double and a triple, no homers), the 21-year-old has now doubled his extra base hit output in just a couple of days. Obviously we cannot do much with projecting out this performance -- no one could possibly maintain a 2.667 slugging percentage and a 3.417 OPS -- but what is most important right now is that Loopstok is back on the field. The back-to-back multi-homer games are naturally amazing, but what is most important to get Loopstok's career back in motion is just having him playing games.
Logan Vick (LF, Carolina): 2-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 SO
After posting a .170/.323/.252 line through June 3 with the Mudcats, Vick was sent down to Lake County and essentially relegated to prospect afterthought. However, Vick was never as bad as that line, as a .236 BABIP was obscuring the good his strong approach at the plate was doing (45:29 SO:BB in those 41 games). There was still a little too much patience and swing and miss in Vick's game at that point, but such a low BABIP was never sustainable. Since his return to Carolina, Vick has seen his BABIP continue to rise, though considering it is only up to .256 on the season, it will likely keep increasing in the future. In his 19 games since returning, Vick is getting on base and showing more power, with a .237/.382/.441 line, a 16:14 SO:BB, and a normal .295 BABIP. Vick is not dominating the Carolina League, but he is definitely better than his raw stats would indicate.
- Gabriel Arias (SP, Columbus): W (6-2), 7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO. Arias is not a high-end prospect, but the right-hander has found decent success in the upper levels of the minors in 2014 and turned in one of his best performances of the season Thursday.
- Shaun Marcum (RP, Columbus): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 SO. This was Marcum's first appearance above the Arizona League this year as the right-hander continues to work his way back from thoracic outlet surgery.
- Carlos Moncrief (RF, Columbus): 2-for-4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI. Based on his season numbers (.274/.327/.432 line, 39 extra base hits in 110 games), it is hard to tell Moncrief struggled mightily through the first two months of the season. Overall, it has been a solid season for Moncrief in his first exposure to Triple-A.
- Audy Ciriaco (DH, Columbus): 1-for-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SO. Ciriaco launched his 13th home run of the season Thursday, setting a new personal record for homers in a season.
- Zach Walters (2B, Columbus): 0-for-4, 1 SO, 1 E. This 0-for-4 night ended Walters' hitting streak at 18 games, but the 24-year-old has still been very impressive in his first six games in the organization (1.077 OPS) while showing off his versatility, appearing at second base, third base, and left field.
- Will Roberts (SP, Akron): W (11-11), 7.0 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 SO. Roberts' solid season in Double-A continued Thursday as the right-hander ate up a bunch of innings while limiting his walks. The soon-to-be 24-year-old could use some more strikeouts, but overall, his 3.99 ERA and 87:30 SO:BB in 140.0 innings could be much worse.
- Michael Bourn (CF, Akron): 0-for-3, 2 SO. Bourn's rehab assignment with the RubberDucks carried on here as the center fielder put up his second-consecutive 0-for-3 performance. Luckily rehab assignments are all about the process of getting a player back to game speed and not about the results.
- Erik Gonzalez (SS, Akron): 0-for-2, 2 BB. Gonzalez's hitting streak came to an end at 17 games -- leaving him tied with Tyler Naquin for the RubberDucks' longest streak of the season -- but the 22-year-old still reached base twice on the night.
- Alex Lavisky (C, Akron): 1-for-3,. Lavisky's hitting streak did not come to an end Thursday as the catcher extended his to eight games.
- Anthony Gallas (RF, Akron): 1-for-3, 1 R, 1 SO. The same goes for Gallas, with the exception being his streak is one game behind Lavisky's at seven.
- Dylan Baker (SP, Carolina): W (2-2), 6.0 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO. After not going more than 3.2 innings in any of his first three starts since returning from his fractured fibula, Baker was all the way back Thursday. Though this outing was not dominant, the right-hander pitched six innings for the first time since April 8.
- Ben Heller (RP, Carolina): 0.0 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1 E. Heller's rough transition to the Carolina League continued Thursday as now owns a 5.19 ERA and 8:9 SO:BB through 8.2 innings.
- Yandy Diaz (3B, Carolina): 2-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B. The power is coming in slowly for Diaz, but that remains the only real piece missing for the 23-year-old (.365 on-base percentage, 29:29 SO:BB, .070 isolated power in 55 games), who is celebrating a birthday today.
- Jeremy Lucas (C, Carolina): 1-for-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SO. With 12 home runs, 39 extra base hits overall, a .815 OPS, and a 66:52 SO:BB in 99 games, Lucas is a model of consistency for the Mudcats.
- Jordan Milbrath (SP, Lake County): ND, 6.0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO, 1 HR, 1 HBP. Milbrath saw his results swoon a bit midseason, but the right-hander has been back on track lately. There are still improvements for the 23-year-old to make -- with his 65:42 SO:BB in 109.1 innings, for instance -- but this has still been a productive year for Milbrath.
- Lake County Bullpen: 3.1 IP, 8 H, 9 R (6 ER), 3 BB, 1 SO, 2 HR, 1 WP. Carlos Melo, Wander Beras, and Alexis Paredes had a collective night to forget as the trio blew an 11-3 lead for the Captains.
- Grant Fink (1B, Lake County): 2-for-4, 4 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SO, 1 HBP. Power was not Fink's issue Thursday, though it has been a little lacking in 2014 (.145 isolated power). That mark is not inherently bad, but given Fink's 147 strikeouts in 101 games, some more pop would be preferable.
- Claudio Bautista (2B, Lake County): 2-for-6, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 E. It goes without saying that Bautista will need to improve his 83:8 SO:BB in order to find success in the upper levels, but if he can fix his approach, the power he is showing in 2014 (.161 isolated power, 10 home runs in 99 games) will play quite nicely.
- Clint Frazier (CF, Lake County): 4-for-6, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 SO. Frazier still has a ton of strikeouts (129 in 97 games), but his .266/.350/.411 line as a 19-year-old in his first full professional season is pretty good.
- Eric Haase (C, Lake County): 1-for-5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 SO. Despite cooling off following his hot start, Haase is still hitting quite well (.880 OPS in the first half, .761 OPS in the second half) as he awaits a call to Carolina.
- Ivan Castillo (SS, Lake County): 4-for-6, 1 R, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 1 SO. Castillo does not normally do much on offense (he owns a .586 OPS in 62 games), but he has hit quite well in his last two games.
- Torsten Boss (RF, Lake County): 3-for-5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB. Though Boss' .193 batting average obscures it, the 23-year-old's .324 on-base percentage, .168 isolated power, and 42:21 SO:BB in 35 Low-A games are all strong.
- Julian Merryweather (SP, Mahoning Valley): L (1-2), 4.0 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO, 1 WP. Though Merryweather has been pretty good about limiting walks in his professional debut (27:13 SO:BB in 38.2 innings), the right-hander's control got away from him a little bit Thursday.
- David Speer (RP, Mahoning Valley): 3.1 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 SO. Though he allowed three runs in this outing, Speer's run suppression has been pretty good this year (3.24 ERA) and the left-hander has gotten a ton of strikeouts while also limiting his walks (31:6 SO:BB in 25.0 innings).
- Francisco Mejia (C, Mahoning Valley): 1-for-4. Mejia had one of the Scrappers' two hits Thursday night, with Greg Allen coming through with the other.
- Yonathan Mendoza (SS, Mahoning Valley): 0-for-1, 2 BB. Though he went hitless, Mendoza managed to reach base twice while increasing his SO:BB to 16:19 in 43 games this season.
- Matt Capps (SP, AZL Indians): ND, 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO, 1 HR. The Arizona League team did not go long without a rehabbing major leaguer, as Marcum's promotion was filled by Capps starting his rehab.
- Shao-Ching Chiang (RP, AZL Indians): W (3-2), 5.0 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 2 SO. Chiang is not running the best ERA to date (5.12 in 31.2 innings), but his ability to really limit walks (22:2 SO:BB) points to better results in the future.
- Sam Hentges (RP, AZL Indians): H (2), 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 SO. Cleveland's fourth round pick in this year's draft is still being brought along slowly, though he has shown some nice glimpses in his eight innings (1.13 ERA, 8:4 SO:BB).
- Joe Wendle (2B, AZL Indians): 0-for-3, 2 SO. This was Wendle's second appearance in Arizona after seemingly being lost for the season with a broken hamate bone. At this point, it is still early enough that Wendle could find his way back to Akron before the end of the season to make up for some lost time.
- Bobby Bradley (1B, AZL Indians): 2-for-4, 2 R, 1 3B. Bradley's impressive debut rolls on with the 2014 third round pick maintaining a .372/.443/.628 line with a 25:14 SO:BB and 17 extra base hits in his first 28 professional games.
- Li-Jen Chu (C, AZL Indians): 2-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B. The same goes for Chu, who owns a .350/.451/.633 line with a 10:9 SO:BB and 11 extra base hits in his first 21 stateside games.

text: Hello, I am making a mosaic analysis of a mutation in the 3L chromosome and I would like to label the cells using the LacZ gene under the control of a constitutive promoter. I know such a gene was designed by J.P. Vincent, C.H.Girdham and P. H. O'Farrell using the armadillo constitutive promoter but the insertions were in chromosome X and 2. I wonder if anybody has made a jump to the 3L (it's not that I am lazy but I am in a hurry!). Any other LacZ or Green Fluorescent Protein insertion in the 3L ubiquitously expressed would also be welcome. Thank you very much, in advance. Ruth

It was hard watching USA lose by 3 goals but yeah I have to agree it was a nice match..Italy beat Ghana 2-0..Good game with equal amount of possession for both teams..
What a crushing loss for the USA!
:yay Exciting Italia win over Ghana!!!
I'm cheering for Italy to go far.....they have been my favorite since I started playing soccer in '94......Baggio's miss just killed me....
Way to go Czech Repub for beating USA!!! Their country needs more fan support before it can really mean something....maybe in another 4 World Cups.
Kids are chanting I-ta-lia, I-ta-lia, I-ta-lia, outside my window :lol. I heard it was a great game between Italy and Ghana. Lots of missed opportunities though.
Eh-mee, that goal Baggio missed was a heartbreaker to me as I was in Italy at that time, watching the game for the first time with my uncles and cousins and I was dying for Italy to win to see how they celebrate there.
Did anyone see today's morning game between South Korea and Togo (South Korea won 2-1). It was amazing. I got to work late. Wish I could go back home and watch the rest of today's matches.
Watching France v Switzerland and France are a shadow of the team they were. Too many older players, playing very badly. If they win this they'll be very lucky!:ohno
I predicted at least a semi-final placing for France, after that performance against the Swiss, I seriously doubt it..Brazil and Croatia up next..I'm predicting a 3-1 victory for the Brazillians..Anyone??
I can't think of ever voting for a "brazilian" :blush :rofl (Kelly Clarkson!, Kelly Clarkson!)
Since Canada isn't in it, I'll throw my vote behind my native Ukraine!! Let's hear it for the yellow and blue :yay
I don't see brazil making it too far, they won't beat the czech, maybe italy. France is a thing of the past

OK, I need some ideas.
I left a two-sided list for my daughters this morning, frustrated with the state of my house yesterday after their first full day home this summer. They do have various activities beginning at the end of this week, but for now they're sitting around. And when I say sitting around, I mean not leaving the couch except to have a snack and absentmindedly leave their plate out on the counter.
They didn't notice the newspapers piled on the kitchen table or the full sink or the unemptied garbage cans or the paper towel the dog chewed up and spit out on the kitchen rug. I should add, they will do anything I ask of them if I put it in list form. But I'm hoping at some point they will learn to see these things themselves. Right?
So, beyond leaving a list, what tips do you have for getting teens to do their part this summer?

Online Voting for the Academy Awards Must Not Become a Model for Public Elections, Cyber Security and Voting Rights Activists Warn
LOS ANGELES, CA -- A group of concerned cyber security experts and voting rights advocates released a statement today warning that Internet voting for this year's Academy Awards must not become a model for public elections. The group includes advocacy organizations Common Cause and Verified Voting and some of the most renowned figures in computer science including Ron Rivest, co-founder of RSA and Verisign and recipient of the Turing Award; [1] and Dr. Barbara Simons, former President of ACM and author of Broken Ballots: Will Your Vote Count?
"When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that it would be using an online voting system to help its members choose this year's Oscar nominees and finalists, thereby adding to the "credibility" of online voting, we found ourselves compelled to remind the general public that it is dangerous to deploy voting by email, efax, or through internet portals inpublic governmentalelections at this time," the experts said. "Public elections run by municipal, local and state governments should not be compared to elections like the one run by the Academy."
The goal behind the statement was to ensure that lawmakers and election officials do not lose sight of the real risks to election integrity that Internet voting creates for public elections, despite the fact that an entity as glamorous as the Academy is using it for aprivateelection. Private elections may be subject torules and procedures which may make it possible to mitigate or detect cyber attacks; these conditions do not exist in public elections which require state and local officials to abide by a complex set of state and federal laws such as requiring that the ballot be secret.
"Cyber security experts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology[2] and the Department of Homeland Security[3]have warned that current Internet voting technologies should not be deployed in public elections," the statement said. "Internet voting systems, including email, fax and web based voting systems in which marked ballots are cast online, cannot be properly protected and may be subject to undetectable alteration."
Internet voting has been shown time and again to be vulnerable to potentially devastating -- and undetectable -- cyber attacks. In 2004, the Department of Defense canceled a pilot Internet voting program for military personnel stationed overseas because of concerns about security. In 2010, a "red team" led by J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan not only penetrated a pilot election in Washington, D.C., changing votes at will, and even managed to thwart attempted hacks from as far away as Iran and China. Election officials in Washington were unaware of any of it until Professor Halderman's team disclosed its exploits. Because of the demonstrated vulnerabilities and the public's increased interest in online voting, a senior cyber security official at the Department of Homeland Security warned a group of election officials in March 2012 that Internet voting is "premature" and not advisable at this time.[4] In May 2012, the National Institute of Standards and Technology - the agency tasked with studying and developing federal voting system standards - issued a similar statement saying that secure Internet voting is not yet technologically feasible for public elections.[5]
Six states are currently considering legislation to introduce or broaden the use of Internet voting. It is imperative, the group of experts said, to make them aware of the scientific arguments against such a step.
"Financial institutions, the FBI, the White House, and the Department of Defense have all been breached," the experts said. "It is unreasonable to assume that any Internet voting system vendor today can repel a well-funded partisan operative or nation state determined to manipulate, disrupt, or violate voter privacy in an online public election."

Gifts from the Indians ; Native Americans Not Only Provided New Kinds of Food and Recreation, They May Have Given the Founding Fathers Ideas on How to Form a Government
Case, Nancy Humphrey, The Christian Science Monitor
He'd been kidnapped by an English sea captain and sold as a slave in Spain. Aided by friars, he'd escaped, spent two years in London, and finally made his way back to America. But when he walked into his Indian village of Patuxet in 1619, he found nothing but bones. His tribe had all died of disease.
But that was only the beginning of the story of Tisquantum, or Squanto, as he came to be called. He had learned to speak English during his ordeal. Now he was specially qualified to help the English settlers, who arrived in his homeland in 1620 and established Plymouth Colony. Squanto was an invaluable interpreter. He promoted peace between native peoples and the Pilgrims and taught the settlers the survival skills they needed to survive a second winter. He showed them what foods could be gathered or grown in the new land. The most important of these was corn.
In ancient times, native Americans had gathered the seeds of a wild grass and planted them. By saving seeds from the best plants and growing them the next year, they encouraged the formation of ears, or cobs, on the plants. Early corncobs were only a few inches long and had eight rows of kernels. Gradually (it took thousands of years), the ears of corn grew larger.
The corn Squanto taught the Pilgrims to grow gave such a plentiful harvest that the Pilgrims were amazed. Corn was far more productive than any cereal crop they knew. Today, corn is by far America's biggest and most valuable crop.
Corn - including popcorn - was eaten in the three days of Pilgrim and Indian feasting that we recall today as the first Thanksgiving. Squash, beans, fish, venison (deer meat), and various "fowls" (probably turkeys, ducks, and geese) were also on the menu. The feast, in fact, may have been the Indians' idea.
The Pilgrims, who had nearly starved their first winter, were thankful for the abundance of food. They were especially grateful for Squanto. William Bradford, governor of the small colony, wrote in his diary that Squanto was "a special instrument sent of God for [our] good."
As more Europeans came to America, they learned of other native foods from the Indians, including maple sugar, cranberries, clams, pecans, and persimmons, among many others.
But food wasn't the only thing native peoples contributed to today's American culture.
Not only food, but fun, too
Lots of things we use for outdoor fun were invented by native Americans. Kayaks were made by Eskimos for hunting seals and walruses. Made of skins stretched over a wooden or bone frame, these long, narrow boats (often 20 feet by 20 inches) were fast.
Canoes - popular all over North America - were expertly crafted of birch bark, animal hides, or other light materials. The Ojibwas of the Great Lakes used to race their canoes. They paddled standing up!
Snowshoes and toboggans were also designed by native Americans. Snowshoes let hunters jog over the deep snow for hours. A toboggan, with runners made of strips of bark that naturally curled up at one end, was a great way to haul their game home.
The Indians enjoyed games - especially one they called "ball play." The sport was hugely popular and played passionately by tribes all across North America. It was the forerunner of our game of lacrosse.
Teams that could include hundreds of men competed on a field that might be half a mile long. Some versions let players use two sticks, and several balls might be in play at once. It was a game of great skill, but also very rough. George Catlin, an artist who spent eight years living among Western tribes in the 1830s, observed "hundreds ... running together and leaping, actually over each other's heads, and darting between their adversary's legs, tripping and throwing and foiling each other in every possible manner."
Some scholars see another, much more profound Indian legacy in America's form of government. …

La Dea are currently ninth in Serie A and are big underdogs against Andrea Stramaccioni's side, with the Nerazzurri on a run of seven straight league victories heading into the contest.
But, Cigarini remains upbeat and believes his side can emerge victorious, if they put in a positive performance.
"We're both having a good time at the moment. But if we play like we know we can, then I think we'll come out with a good result," he told Eco di Bergamo.
"If we play like we did [in the 1-0 win] against Napoli this season, then we should be fine."We just need to carry on what we're doing because it would be a shame to break this good streak we're having."

Vestas Gets 21-Megawatt Order for Costa Rica Wind Farm
Vestas Wind Systems A/S (VWS) won a 21-megawatt order from a new customer in Costa Rica, expanding the Danish manufacturer's presence in Latin America.

It was placed by Tilawind Corp., jointly owned by New Tessela and Gruman Resources, both of which develop renewable energy projects in Costa Rica and the wider region, Vestas said.
By the end of 2013, Vestas had delivered a total of 51 megawatts of turbines to Costa Rica. The latest order is due for delivery in the third quarter, with the plant set to start generating by the end of the year. It includes a 10-year service agreement.

Here's another great reason to eat sushi. Women who regularly eat fish - particularly oily fish - have a far lower risk of developing an eye disease when they're older that can cause blindness, say US researchers.
Writing in the journal Archives of Ophthalmology, the Boston-based scientists claim the omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish such as tuna, mackerel, trout, herring and sardines could slash your risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
AMD is the most common cause of sight loss in this country among people over the age of 50, with around 200,000 Brits affected each year. It affects the central part of your vision, specifically the macula (a small part of your retina).
The study tracked more than 38,000 women over the course of ten years. And comparing the diets of those who went on to develop AMD with that of those who didn't, the researchers discovered the women who ate oily fish once a week or more were 42% less likely to develop the disease than those who ate oily fish less than once a month.
Particularly interesting was the fact that the lower risk was strongly associated with eating dark-meat fish, such as tuna - which means that lunchtime favourite, a tuna and mayo sandwich, is a real eye health boost.
There again, tinned tuna - most commonly used for making sandwiches - is lower in fish oils than fresh, which suggests eating tuna sushi or any dish with fresh tuna may be even better for your vision than a sarnie.
Does your diet include oily fish?

Nick Stone - deniable operator for British Intelligence - has been assigned to carry out an officially sanctioned assassination. When he realizes who the target is, he refuses. But he is then given a chilling ultimatum: fly to Central America and finish the job, or the 11-year-old orphan in his care will get killed.
Stone arrives in sweltering Panama close to breaking point. His life is in pieces, but things only get worse when he finds himself caught at the centre of a lethal conspiracy involving Columbian guerrillas. Hundreds of innocent lives are at stake.
Their only chance of rescue is Stone. But he has a critically injured friend to rescue, miles of dense rainforest to navigate and the toughest decision of his life to make....

"Loved it"
Brace yourselves Nick Stone fans; we're off to Panama. And this time Nick's 'adopted' daughter Kelly's life hangs in the balance and depends solely on his ability to succeed in his mission.
This instalment was great. I enjoyed listening to his jungle survival tactics and hearing his disposal of the pure scum that often infests it..!
Great fourth book. Long live the Nick Stone series!
"A good listen"
I would recommend it. it's a good story, helped distract me and pass the time
"An OK story"
have enjoyed more from Andy's books. Not as much excitement as others I've read. Saying that, a plausible tale.
"Good, but a bit slow at times"
Well narrated, and a good overall story, but just not exactly as action packed as I like..
"nick stone book 4"
love this author but it would be great if there was an easy system to sort this series into book order. i have had to start on book 4 as i can not find any earlier issues. shame. book its self was entertaining and reasonably easy to follow but slow in many places i felt as over descriptive in areas. but hey, what do i know lol
"Nick Stone - Better than Jack Reacher"
Nick Stone gets more and more complex and interesting. Plot lost me a bit though.
"Very good"
A curious book. Weird start but story evolves slowly into tense drama.
"Not the best"
Paul thornly is the best to read these books was let down. By the overall story
Still worth a listen to.

Youth for Understanding at Kenai Peninsula College is recruiting two host families. Each family will be hosting a KPC college student for the spring semester -- first part of January to the middle of May.
One student is a female from the Netherlands and the other is a male from South Korea.
Host families are asked to welcome the student into their homes and provide a room and meals. In addition, each host family will receive a $200 a month stipend. Families are not expected to drive the student everywhere as they have their own funds for transportation.

Kids will love this traditional food served up in a fun Halloween style!
Slice thin lines of the crescent-roll dough into "wraps" for the mummy.
Puncture hot dog in several places using a fork.
Wrap hot dogs in the dough "bandages," leaving one end more exposed for the face.
Place mummies on a cookie sheet and bake in an oven at
350 degrees F or until crescent rolls are golden brown.
Use mustard to draw a face on the exposed part of the hot dog (optional).
If your children don't like mustard, use ketchup or squirtable cheese for the face.
