SALISBURY — Vermont State Police reported that a Salisbury man apparently shot and killed himself early this morning after troopers were called to his home for a domestic dispute, and the man pointed a gun at them.
VSP this afternoon said that Gerald "Dusty" Woodburn, 52, died in the incident, but no one else was injured.
BRISTOL — When Bristol Planning Commission Vice-Chair Chico Martin refused to accept public comments from John "Slim" Pickens — the only citizen in attendance at the commission's Tuesday meeting — Martin may have violated state law, according to Secretary of State Jim Condos and his deputy Brian Leven.
WEYBRIDGE — Weybridge Elementary School's ongoing effort to tailor its educational programs to a shrinking student population will be getting some national exposure this winter as part of a CNN television program.
The CNN program, according to Weybridge Elementary Principal Christina Johnston, will touch upon the overcrowding in some schools, contrasted with declining enrollment in others.
MONKTON — Imagine if kids were the ones testing the boundaries of technology. Imagine if they were programming artificial intelligence into robots they built themselves. And imagine if, when widespread problems arose, students invented products to solve them.
Since September, a team of 10 Monkton youths has done just that: created and programmed an autonomous robot made of Legos and invented a prototype lunchbox to protect food from contamination in preparation for the 2011 First Lego League Robotics Competition.
BRISTOL — New elements concerning a recent change to the proposed Bristol town plan have come to light.
At its Oct. 18 meeting, the planning commission revised a central component of the proposed plan after holding a public hearing on the issue in late September. The commission altered the dimensions of a no-extraction zone and passed the plan onto the selectboard, deeming there were "no substantial changes."
But that was not wholly accurate.

The Washington Post's Dana Milbank writes about "The missing giants" of the Senate and pronounces that there's a "plague of legislatative dwarfism in the Senate." This sort of column has been written, I suspect, since the "Great Triumvirate" (Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and John Calhoun) left the scene 160 year ago.
Milbank being Milbank, his incarnation of the "where have all the giants gone" lament is largely a vehicle for attacking conservative Republicans. Orrin Hatch and John McCain might be giants, he concedes, but for the fact that McCain now acts consistently like a Republican and Hatch no longer pals around much with Democrats. To Milbank, this means they that Hatch and McCain have "stooped to joined the Lilliputians," by which Milbank means Senators with whose ideology he disagrees.
Milbank thus betrays an ignorance of Senate history. Henry Clay, who receives the obligatory mention from Milbank, helped broker great compromises every 30 years or so. But his partisanship, and accompanying over-the-top rhetoric, during the Age of Jackson, would make Allen West blush. One of his attacks on Jackson and Martin Van Buren was so vicious that spectators believed the two would come to blows on the Senate floor (fortunately Van Buren was unflappable and his physical approach to Clay was solely for the purpose of asking for snuff). As for John Calhoun, also mentioned by Milbank, I doubt there has ever been as reckless, irresponsible, and uncompromising a partisan Senator of any serious note.
Milbank gives the game away when he discusses specific instances in which he believes voters have "traded down" in the Senate. The comparisons Milbank offers are inherently foolish because new Senators seldom will have the stature of veterans. Milbank's approach is a bit like comparing the accomplishments of rookie athletes to those of long-time veterans who have retired.
Even so, did the voters of West Virginia really trade down when they selected Joe Manchin to fill Robert Byrd's old seat? Bryd was a partisan windbag. Manchin, formerly a very popular governor, has an independent streak. But for Milbank, independence is only a plus if you're a Republican.
Milbank also reaches way back to bemoan the fact that Jim DeMint ("of Tea Party fame," Milbank informs us derisively) now holds Fritz Hollins' old South Carolina seat. But from an objective historical perspective, this is a trade up. Hollins had some stature, but DeMint is the formidable leader of an important national faction. In this respect, he resembles past Senators who, though reviled in their day by people who hated their faction, are now considered giants. Examples include Calhoun, Barry Goldwater, and Robert La Follette (all cited by Milbank). If DeMint's faction continues to rise, he could come to resemble giants like Thomas Hart Benton, Robert Taft, and Ted Kennedy.
What would an objective list of all-time Senate giants look like? I'll take a stab at providing one in my next post.

ARLINGTON, TX -- The owner of the Dallas Cowboys helped give the gymnasium at the Arlington, TX, Boys & Girls Club's main branch a makeover in an effort to combat childhood obesity and encourage children to stay physically active.
Renovations at the gym, now called the Dallas Cowboys Fitness Zone, were paid for by a $30,000 grant from the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Charities and the Gene and Jerry Jones Family Arlington Youth Foundation, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Jerry Jones is the owner of the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys.
The 40-year-old gym has new paint and carpeting, lights and bleachers as well as sports and fitness equipment. Members of the Cowboys visited kids at the renovated gym on Monday.
At least 72 percent of the children who visit daily the Arlington Boys and Girls Club's main branch come from families living at or below the poverty level, says Michael Gonzales, the organization's vice president of development.
"It's going to be a great source of pride for kids who are members of our clubs knowing the Cowboys' name is on their gym," Gonzales tells the newspaper.
In south Arlington, developers plan to break ground on the $10 million Texas Sports Center this fall. The center will house basketball and volleyball tournaments and is expected to have 17 multipurpose courts available year-round for youth and adult league tournaments as well as for training and conditioning, the Star-Telegram reports.
The Texas Sports Center is expected to open in late 2009. The Arlington City Council approved zoning for the project earlier this month.
"The facility is being built to serve the youth, and we really see this as an amenity to the community," developer Jimmy Archie of Realty Capital Corp. of Colleyville, TX, tells the newspaper.

So, yea, I've been doing a lot of knitting. As in, obsessed with it all over again. Seeing how hot it is here in
A few weeks ago, I was on the Navajo Reservation for a trip for work. There is a wonderful hotel right in Monument Valley that I was lucky (and my trusty trip sidekick, Brian. Best roadtrip buddy EVER.) to stay in. This is where I sat until midnight and where I got up at 5am to sit again to watch the sun come up.
Can't hate that, hmm?
The baby princess is getting so big! Her current loves are blueberries, calling everything "baby", hugging the cats (let me tell you how much they love that) and her books. Specifically, squishing herself into HER basket to read her books. My current love is watching her dance and seeing her have a fit of giggles.
How I adore this sweet little girl.

Stamford considering playground to honor Newtown victim
A playground in Stamford honoring Sandy Hook victim Jesse McCord Lewis would be welcomed by his mother Scarlett, who said she would visit it and be comforted by the sight of children laughing and playing.
"I would just love to be able on a sad day drive to Jesse's playground and watch kids play and find happiness there," said Lewis, a Newtown resident and Darien native.
The playground project was started by the Sandy Ground Project, which is building 26 playgrounds honoring victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy around the Tri-State area. The playgrounds also honor the towns that were ravaged by Hurricane Sandy. So far they've built 10 playgrounds.
The city approvals process is underway, with the Parks and Recreation Commission voting 4-0 Wednesday in support of accepting the gift of a playground that will celebrate the short life of Jesse McCord Lewis. Members said they felt honored that the Sandy Ground Project chose Stamford as a potential home for one of the playgrounds.
"I think it is a great idea," commission member David Winston said. "I think it is building on something that was really bad and trying to convert it into something really good."
Parks Commission chairman Joseph Andreana said West Beach might be a good site, since it lacks a playground.
"That could be ideal," Andreana said.
Gina Aiello, a Stamford resident and Sandy Ground Project volunteer who spoke at the commission's meeting said, "Stamford is a perfect place for this kind of playground. What better way to honor him?"
The dedication ceremonies for the parks built so far in Westport and other towns have been emotionally positive for families who have appreciated the effort to honor their loved ones, Aiello said.
No specific plans for what the playground would look like have been developed yet.
"Each playground represents a victim and gives you an idea of their personality and passion," Aiello said.
Scarlett Lewis said Jesse loved and rode horses, enjoyed painting and soccer, and was particularly fond of collecting yellow rubber ducks and toy soldiers, some or all of which could be potential sources of inspiration in adorning the playground to reflect his personality.
"Those are kind of his passions in life," Lewis said. "I think it is just beautiful that they try to and have weaved in each child's unique personality and each adult's unique personality into the playgrounds."
Lewis is credited with saving at least six students lives that tragic Dec. 14 morning as he yelled for kids to run when the shooter's gun jammed. Lewis was then shot to death.
The playground project is completely funded by private donations, organizers told the board. It would likely be built in one of the city's waterfront parks. The playgrounds range in cost from $100,000 to $150,000, and are built with volunteer labor, said Brian D'Antoni, a volunteer for the Sandy Ground Project.
In exchange for the gift of a playground, Aiello and D'Antoni encourage the corporations in the host communities to donate to the construction of future playgrounds. D'Antoni said the National Football League has paid for three of the parks, and Mazda of Connecticut committed to finance three others.
"The park is a gift but we'd still like to pay it forward," D'Antoni said.
City Director of Operations Ernie Orgera said he planned to begin the process of getting the necessary approvals of the city Planning Board, Board of Finance, and Board of Representatives so the playground could be built sometime next spring.

Victorian balance-of-power independent MP Geoff Shaw says now he has been cleared of contempt of parliament for misusing his taxpayer-funded car, the matter is over.
The parliamentary privileges committee found Mr Shaw breached the MP code of conduct in his use of the vehicle and recommended he repay more than $6800.
While Mr Shaw said he did not agree with the findings, he accepted responsibility.
"I don't agree with the quantum of the report," Mr Shaw told reporters on Thursday.
"From the start ... I have said I take full responsibility, the buck stops with me.
"There's nothing to answer for criminally, there's nothing to answer for, for contempt of parliament.
"That's the end of the matter."
The privileges committee investigated Mr Shaw after the ombudsman found in 2012 the Frankston MP used his parliamentary car for his own hardware business.
It found Mr Shaw let the car be used for commercial purposes and his parliamentary fuel card be used for his private vehicle.
His parliamentary vehicle travelled 9050km for his own commercial purposes.
The committee was split down ALP and coalition lines but the coalition chair used his casting vote to find Mr Shaw not in contempt.
Labor seized on the findings as a whitewash, accusing the minority Napthine government of protecting Mr Shaw because it relies on his vote.
"This has been a rort of a process, to protect the rorter for Frankston," deputy Labor leader James Merlino said.
The committee recommended parliament order Mr Shaw repay a further $6838.44 for the breach.
He has already paid back $1250.
Mr Shaw said the matter was over for him when all related dishonesty charges were dropped in December after the director of public prosecutions decided there was no reasonable prospect of criminal conviction.
Victorian Premier Denis Napthine defended the 18 months it took to produce the report, saying the matter was one of the most complex privilege issues in any Australian parliament.

The Los Angeles City Planning Commission recommended Thursday that NBCUniversal be allowed to move to the next stage of approval for a long-planned expansion at its San Fernando Valley site, after the company agreed to fund a bikeway and make other modifications to an already revised plan.
The bike path along the L.A. River was a key demand of environmentalists and bicycle enthusiasts, who were among the most vocal opponents of NBCUniversal's original expansion plan.
On Thursday, the movie and television production company agreed to commit more than $3.3 million for planning, construction and improvement of future bikeways between the movie studio and the waterway and bike-related facilities on nearby streets.
"I'm excited that NBC has stepped up to the plate with real dollars," Eric Bruins, planning and policy director for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition, said after the Planning Commission's vote.
Omar Brownson, executive director of the Los Angeles River Revitalization Corp., called the financial commitment "a good pedal forward."

Sutures - ridged
Ridged sutures refer to an overlap of the bony plates of the skull in an infant, with or without early closure.
See also:
Alternative Names
Ridged sutures
The skull of an infant or young child is made up of bony plates that allow for growth of the skull. The borders at which these plates intersect are called sutures or suture lines. In an infant only a few minutes old, the pressure from delivery compresses the head, making the bony plates overlap at the sutures and creating a small ridge.
This is normal in newborns. In the next few days the head expands, the overlapping disappears, and the edges of the bony plates meet edge to edge. This is the normal position.
Ridging of the suture line can also occur when the bony plates fuse together too early. When this happens, growth along that suture line stops. Premature closure generally leads to an unusually shaped skull.
Premature closing of the suture running the length of the skull (sagittal suture) produces a long, narrow head. Premature closing of the suture that runs from side to side on the skull (coronal suture) leads to a short, wide head.
Common Causes
- Normal ridging due to overlap of bony plates after birth
- Congenital
- Crouzon's syndrome
Apert syndrome
- Carpenter's syndrome
- Pfeiffer syndrome
Home Care
Home care depends on the condition causing thepremature closure of sutures.
Call your health care provider if
Contact your health care provider if:
- You notice a ridge along the suture line of your child's head
- You think that your child has an abnormal head shape
What to expect at your health care provider's office
Your health care provider will get a medical history and will do a
Medical history questions might include:
- When did you first notice that the skull seemed to have ridges in it?
- What do the soft spots (fontanelles) look like?
- Have the fontanelles closed? At what age did they close?
- What other symptoms are present?
- How has your child been developing?
Your health care provider will begin with an examination of the skull to see if there is ridging. If there is ridging, the child might need
Although your health care provider keeps records from routine examinations, you may find it helpful to keep your own records of your child's development. You will want to bring these records to your health care provider's attention if you notice anything unusual.

Pennsylvania man dressed up as ninja says he was trying to help catch bad guys
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – 19-year-old western Pennsylvania man who dressed up as a ninja and lurked near homes says he meant no harm and was just trying to help police catch bad guys.
But neighbors who saw him sneaking around called police.
The man, Todd Kapcsos, of Johnstown, was in court Wednesday. He waived his right to a preliminary hearing on charges of loitering, prowling at night and disorderly conduct.
Police in Johnstown say they don't condone such behavior and that Kapcsos frightened some elderly residents who saw him sneaking around.
One neighbor, Chris Trevino, tells WJAC-TV, "It looked more like he was trying to break into homes, not like he was gonna be a ninja and save the world."

Panama City - By the year 2015, the United States Air Force must meet a federal mandate to cut energy consumption by 30%. Tyndall Air Force Base is well on it's way to reaching that goal. Last year Tyndall cut electricity use by 8% and natural gas by 16%.
Jonathan Caldwell has a big job. He oversees the amount of energy Tyndall Air Force Base's 500 buildings use each day. And lately, he's been busy, making sure they use less. "This is the solar water heater we use for our showers and this is the solar array for generating electricity," explained Caldwell, from the roof of the fitness center.
The base has implemented several energy and water conservation projects over the last few years. One of the largest is the Platinum LEED certified fitness center. "We incorporate some of the best in sustainable design. Not only do we have solar panels that create electricity and solar water heating that helps with our showers, we also incorporate natural light shelves which means we use less energy for lighting. And we have efficient chillers, that means we use less electricity to provide air conditioning," said Caldwell.
Set to be installed at the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency this week: solar panels that will save $10,000 a year in electricity. "This photovoltiac array will help us reduce our electrical consumption by about 100,000 kilowatt hours a year," said Paul Carnley, an Energy Conservation Expert with AFCESA.
Another major energy saver: a system that controls the AC inside facilities all over base with just the click of a mouse. A "cool roof" and ground source heat pumps are just some of the features that make the base's newest dorms energy efficient. "Our budget climate is getting worse and so we see budget cuts coming, our efforts to save energy translate into saving money," said Caldwell.
Caldwell says he's pleased with their progress at the base so far, but they've got to maintain focus on the future.

Amid chatter (which may or may not be gobble, gobble, gobble, turkey from jive-turkey gobblers) that the University of Texas covets 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, a league source tells PFT that the 49ers don't believe that Harbaugh has any interest in leaving.
The 49ers, we're told, have a strong interest in keeping Harbaugh over the long haul. The 49ers plan to extend Harbaugh's contract after the current season.
Harbaugh currently is signed through 2015.
Of course, it takes two to make a contract thing go right. Mike Silver of NFL Network reported earlier today that the 49ers and Harbaugh tried to strike a deal on an extension after the 2012 season, but that talks broke off because Harbaugh didn't like the numbers.
We've also had heard that Jim Harbaugh had some strong opinions about his brother's new contract, lobbying that John hold out for more than roughly $7 million per year on his deal in Baltimore.
On one hand, it's admirable that Jim Harbaugh is all in with the 49ers. On the other hand, it could be useful to flirt with other possibilities in order to maximize what he'll make from the Niners.

Hey guys!!!!!
I need to pick your brains.
My oldest two went to the local state college that is 15 min from our home. My youngest is interested in Chemistry, and the reputation of the Chem dept at that school isn't good.
I help her a lot with her school, but she's also carrying an enormously heavy load for a 9th grader. She feels like she does NOT want to live on campus anywhere.
My oldest didn't look anywhere else. How do I look down the road and help R pick a college? I don't even know where to start?
My disposition thinks that the local college is usually good enough and a good value. I could help her with her studies if she was here. She'd also probably be fine if she went away. Other people's kids do it and succeed!
Most of the kids in our circle just go here to the local school.
Any advice?

Paul Onditi
Paul Onditi is from Kenya, he studied and worked as an artist for some years in Germany but has returned to his homeland recently to escape the recession. It seems Africa is far more welcoming and friendly in such climates.
Paul's work is experimental and exciting. His materials and his concepts are fresh and ever changing, mimicking and embracing one another on the canvas. Paul works with acrylics, bleach, ink and traditional African pigments to create a combination of sober and brilliant colour which sing out in contrast and in harmony.
His ape-like human figures portray some of the complex ideas behind his work. Paul is fascinated by evolution, not just in nature but in thought and fashion. He is captivated by the idea that nature may one day copy the patterns of human ideology and behaviour, the repetition and recycling that seem a never-ending process.
What if, he muses, eventually biology retraces its steps and begins a slow journey back to our ape-like past?

An efficient Google AdWords campaign, where you are sure you know how the platform works, can be a huge quarry of leads for small businesses. In addition, the cost of posting a press release via a wire service is relatively inexpensive, typically $200 to $300, with releases being picked up by the major search engines and thousands of websites. As any marketer can tell you, it's much better to fail for free than to fail when there are serious dollars on the line. Everything you do that relates to your business' marketing needs to be carefully analyzed, tweaked, and reanalyzed.

From text-based content and visual images to audio content and live-streamed video, customers are yours for the taking if you're willing to capitalize on content outreach.
A popular way to use graffiti marketing is to get a bunch of moss and either design your logo or spell out your name where people will be able to see it. A marketing tip that Forbes recommends is offering customers the chance to sign up for a special birthday deal, which is a friendly way your business can gather user information and develop an ongoing relationship with customers. The most important metrics to focus on are click-through rate (the number of your readers who click on the links in your email) and conversion rate (the number who actually follow through on your call to action). Use social media to reign in the trend and offer timely specials to boost business.

Mr. Irrelevant is usually cut in training camp, not during the week Newport Beach worships him for being the last pick in the NFL Draft.
Tim Toone is Mr. Irrelevant XXXV, but his week has been cut short.
Instead of the usual six or seven days, Mr. Irrelevant is spending three days in town, starting on June 30. Paul Salata, the event's founder, understands why the stay for the latest Mr. Irrelevant will be brief.
The Detroit Lions drafted Toone, a 5-foot-10, 175-pound wide receiver from Weber State. The Lions appear serious about working with their dead-last selection.
"Detroit added a couple of practice days," Salata said was the reason behind Toone's limited availability.
Detroit needs the 255th pick more than Newport Beach.
There's a reason why the Lions have ended up with the No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the past two drafts. Detroit has two wins to show in its previous two seasons.
The last time the Lions chose someone at No. 255 was three years ago. Mr. Irrelevant back then was Ramzee Robinson.
The more Robinson played in his second season, the more Detroit lost. The Lions two years ago went winless, the first NFL team with the dubious record of losing each of its 16 regular-season games.
At least Robinson played in the NFL. Toone has a ways to go before he lands in the Motor City.
The odds of Toone being cut are far better than the ones of him chopping his hair off. Salata's daughter, Melanie Salata-Fitch, who runs Irrelevant Week, calls Toone the "white guy with dreadlocks."
The dreadlocks are sure to get a rise. Salata-Fitch said she plans for Toone to ride the Goodyear blimp on the third and final day of his visit.
"The Goodyear Tire Company wants to take him for a ride on the Goodyear blimp and show him what a stadium looks like from above, as opposed [to what a] player is used to being on the field," said Salata-Fitch, adding Toone might fly over the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The aerial view might be the closest Toone gets to a real football field.
Checking out the Coliseum is not a bad idea by Salata-Fitch, a USC alumnus. Her college football team that plays at the Coliseum might need some players after the NCAA took away 30 scholarships in the next three years as part of the sanctions it levied on USC for a lack of institutional control. The NCAA cited former tailback Reggie Bush for receiving improper gifts from marketers during his days at USC.
An invitation to honor Mr. Irrelevant has been sent to USC first-year head coach Lane Kiffin.
"They don't have as much recruiting … as they did before," joked Salata, adding that Kiffin hasn't confirmed that he's attending the event.
Unfortunately for the Trojans, or maybe fortunately, Toone has signed with an agent, and no his name isn't Leigh Steinberg. Toone is 25, so his athletic eligibility has run out in college.
Salata said the only gifts Toone will be showered with during the first day at the arrival party at the Newport Beach Marriott Hotel and Spa are gag ones.
There might be free tickets to attend the Trojans' bowl game next season.
"They'll be easier to get now," said a sarcastic Salata, knowing the NCAA banned his alma mater from bowl participation in the next two seasons.
Salata said he still hasn't talked to Toone yet.
Toone will get an earful from Salata at the Lowsman Banquet, which follows the arrival party. Salata and his old-time friends, which include Pro Football Hall of Famers Ron Yary and Ron Mix, and former USC and Los Angeles Rams coach John Robinson, will roast Toone at the banquet.
There is plenty of material on Toone, who compares himself to Wes Walker of the New England Patriots. Both have similar physiques, but that's where the comparisons end.
Welker has totaled 346 yards for 3,688 yard and 15 touchdowns in the past three seasons. Toone has the edge in the hair department as Welker's losing his.
"He sounds really, really nice," said Salata-Fitch of Toone, offering proof of his kindness as he served a two-year Mormon mission in West Africa before playing at Weber State. "He's very excited. He's got a lot of family coming out."

Our commitment to the Pacific Island countries is rooted in years of shared historical experience. One experience which affected all Pacific countries, including the United States, was the struggle in the Pacific during World War II. Thousands of Americans and citizens of today's Pacific Island countries lost their lives in this conflict. During this trip through the Pacific, the delegation was able to visit some of the battlefields and pay tribute to our servicemen and other Allied troops who paid the ultimate sacrifice many years ago for the peace, security, and freedom that we enjoy today.
While in Palau, I visited the island of Peleliu, where between September and November of 1944 tens of thousands of Americans fought to secure the island. I attended a wreath laying ceremony at Orange Beach, where the first wave of Marines came ashore to start the battle. Later, I walked through the site of some of the battle's worst fighting, an area the Marines called Bloody Nose Ridge.
Later, in the Solomon Islands, with Admiral Haney, Commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, I attended a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Guadalcanal. Guadalcanal was the first major offensive operation conducted by U.S. and other Allied forces. Admiral Haney and I laid a wreath at the American Battle Monument, which commemorates the thousands of Americans who were killed during the campaign. We also paid tribute at the Coast Watchers and Solomon Scouts Memorial, which honors the Solomon Islanders who provided crucial intelligence that helped the Allies prevail, and met with Solomon Scout veterans. When Navy LTJG John F. Kennedy's PT boat was sunk off the Solomons' coast in August, 1942, it was two Solomon Island scouts who rescued the future president, securing the Scouts lasting place in American history. I also had the honor of attending a ceremony to recognize USCG Medal Of Honor recipient Douglas Monroe for his commitment and dedication.
Today, peace and security in the Pacific region is underwritten by the U.S. commitment to the Pacific Island countries. Living standards for Pacific Islanders have improved, and peoples in the Pacific Island countries are free to determine their own futures through their democratic systems. None of this would have been possible without the sacrifices made by our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines all those decades ago.
Brian K. in Canada writes:
Being a former Marine of many years past, the the profound feeling of loss is never felt more than when visiting the battlefields of the past. Thank you all for recognizing the sacrifices that our past, present and future service personnel have made and will make, to maintain the simple freedoms that some take for granted on a daily basis.
Semper Fi
Dr. Eileen N. in California writes:
The 70th anniversary of the Guadalcanal Campaign brought some very high level US representatives and military leaders to Honiara. Remembering the sacrifices and history is very important, but history can not be the only relationship we have with the people of Solomon Islands. It is time to move forward developing a modern relationship with current day Solomon Islands. There are many areas where America can have a strong impact on the daily lives of the people living in a county made up of more ocean than land mass: improving the delivery of and access to health care is one of them.
Perhaps on the heels of this historic visit our representatives at the State Department will consider expanding programs in Solomon Island to include the return of the Peace Corp, health capacity building and education support.

Jeff Davis County Schools modernizes a rural school district with the help of Google for Education
Like many rural districts, the schools face the challenge of making the most of the funding they receive. The district's IT and administrative team does its due diligence whenever investing in new tools, but when it came to G Suite for Education, much of this vetting was complete. Teachers and staff already used Gmail, and encouraged the district to standardize on Google.
"Before Google, it would take our IT service team 21 days to close a service ticket. Now, it only takes our service team three hours or less to close out a ticket and we have decreased the overall amount of tickets that come in. This encourages our teaching staff to implement more technology in the classroom, now that they trust that the technology is reliable that any issues can be solved quickly."
Keith Osburn, technology and special programs director, Jeff Davis County Schools
After a trial period of testing Google and Microsoft products, the IT team surveyed teachers and staff about the system they preferred. The results were unanimous for Google. In 2008, Jeff Davis County Schools launched G Suite district-wide and introduced 2,200 Chromebooks. Today, the school district considers itself a "Google ecosystem," with staff, teachers and students all using Google tools to work in new ways.
Organization Profile
Located in Hazlehurst, Ga., Jeff Davis County Schools is a rural, but technologically progressive school district with more than 3,200 students and 400 teachers and staff. The school district aims to develop successful, productive citizens who make a positive contribution to society. Over the past few years, this mission has led IT and administrative staff to continuously seek out the best ways to empower students and teachers with the right tools.

We might as well begin with the beginning of life. The time preceding birth, when the baby is still inside its mother, is an important period of growth and development, and at that time as well as after birth, the baby's health is very dependent on the mother's nourishment. Even the several months before a woman becomes pregnant are important. She must eat good amounts of wholesome foods to have enough energy and nutrients for her child and herself, both before and after birth.
Nutrition is the key to growth and development. Baby's first food is mother's milk, which is uniquely formulated to meet his or her growth needs, provided mother eats an adequate diet. Initially, breast milk colostrum has the fluid and nutrient levels, such as zinc, that correlate with the baby's needs. As initial milk comes in, it is higher in fat and fatty acids, important to early developmental needs of the brain and the immune and nervous systems. Later, its fat content decreases and the protein and carbohydrate levels increase to meet the nutritional needs for general growth and development. With a good diet, mother's milk exclusively can support the baby for six months or more. Besides eating well, the mother should also avoid pharmaceutical drugs when possible and chemicals such as nicotine, alcohol, and caffeine. Occupational and even home chemical use should be avoided as well. Pesticides, such as DDT and more recently used chemicals, may contaminate food and get into breast milk, so whenever possible, organic or homegrown produce is ideal.
There are many reasons why breastfeeding is the best thing for both mother and baby. Initially, breastfeeding stimulates uterine contractions, reducing bleeding and bringing the uterus back to its normal size. It provides the intimate bonding of the mother and baby, so connected for the previous nine months, and it is convenient because mother always has baby's food with her; it is also less expensive, but above all breastfeeding is the healthiest choice for the child. Also, the output of calories to baby helps the mother to bring her weight back toward its pre-pregnancy level.
For baby, breast milk provides the right nourishment. It has more available iron, vitamins A and C, niacin, potassium, and the right amino acids for growth than any natural or formulated substitute. It not only has nutritional advantages but immunological ones as well, as the mother can pass her protective antibodies to her child. Recent studies show that breastfed babies are healthier than bottle-fed babies—they have fewer allergies, they are leaner, and they have lower cholesterol levels—and this remains true in later years as well.
More than 95 percent of mothers can breastfeed if they wish. Many of those who have trouble can find help and reassurance from a breastfeeding support group such as La Leche League or from a midwife friend, or a neighbor who has breastfed. Relaxation and increased fluid intake will also facilitate breastfeeding. Luckily, the number of mothers who breastfeed has been increasing over the last couple of decades, even among career-oriented women.
There are really not many good substitutes for mother's milk. It has been shown that 100 percent whey formula is probably the best choice. Goat's milk, slightly diluted, can also be used if the whey formula is not tolerated. A little soy milk can also be used after three or four months. Cow's milk is best avoided; it has a different amino acid balance than other substitutes, has more fats, and is more allergenic. The whey formula is very low allergenically, even less than goat's milk and soy milk. Formulas may be used in an emergency, but I generally do not recommend them because of their unnatural and synthetic makeup.

April 27, 2012
As it has been since the first day HIV emerged as a major threat, the condom continues to be one of the two most effective tools we have for preventing HIV transmission, responsible for preventing massive numbers of cases of HIV. The other, of course, is the sterile syringe when used by injection drug users. Millions of people have found condoms relatively acceptable and easy to use in the face of the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV. Many other people find condoms difficult to use some -- or all -- of the time. Ours is not to judge, but to try to persuade.
Even as Project Inform advocates for medical forms of HIV prevention such as treatment as prevention or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, we believe in the primacy of the condom. Both of these effective forms of medication-based prevention are only 100 percent effective when combined with condom use.
So it is that I lament the absence today of creative efforts to once again promote condom use among gay men and others at risk for HIV. Recently, I attended a White House conference on HIV at which a featured speaker said what has become the norm among people working in HIV today. "We all know that sex without condoms feels better. We all know that condoms are a barrier to intimacy and love." A complete capitulation to the idea that efforts to reframe condoms as a good thing would be a waste of time and resources.
What about the idea of reframing sexual pleasure as including the absence of worry? It feels better, and is actually more fun, to have sex with condoms! What about the idea of reframing condoms as the very epitome of intimacy? Two people taking steps to protect one another from harm is, after all, a very caring, loving and intimate act. What about any visible effort to promote condom use again at all?
We aren't likely to see any large advertising campaigns revisiting or encouraging condom use any time soon. But each of us who may think badly about them could reconsider the way we think about condoms. And each of us could have a conversation with people we care about to see how they regard the condom, and whether they could view them in a new light that results in using them more often.
At the same time, each of us could also have a conversation with friends and loved ones about the importance of knowing their HIV or hepatitis C status. Ending both epidemics now depends heavily on identifying everyone who currently has either virus, and linking them to quality care and treatment as quickly as they are willing and able. Even though we have come a long way in public attitudes about both diseases, however, it is still very difficult for many people to face a diagnosis of HIV or hepatitis C. Positive people fear -- and sometimes actually suffer -- the loss of important or potential relationships as a result of discovering that they carry either virus.
The antidote is for friends and loved ones to ask those they think may benefit from taking an HIV or hepatitis C test whether they have done so recently, and explore any reasons why they have not. Above all, it is essential that we make it clear that we will be supportive no matter what the result of the test. It can't hurt to offer to go to a testing appointment with someone if that is what will help them to take this important step.
Together, these two acts of caring, taken by each and every one of us, could play a significant role in ending these two unnecessary epidemics.
Dana Van Gorder is the executive director of Project Inform.

Some Carcar families: one and the same?
I hope I can wangle time — before the continental drift or climate change undermine the planet — to give particular attention to investigate whether the families holding the following similar surnames were originally a single family, or whether they were really just originally distinct from each other.
It's nothing like going back to when Zeus became Luppiter because the change in these Carcar surnames, if there was, occurred only 50-100 years ago. All the more intriguing how such changes can occur in that narrow timeframe. Here:
Alcotas-Alcuitas – although there is no longer a voter in Carcar surnamed Alcotas, there are records for a family with that surname, records that date back to the 1850s. we need to find a common ancestor for both lines to be able to conclude that the split was just an error in spelling. Alcuitas, too, is just an offshoot of the old spelling Alcuetas, which is also the one found in the 1850 Catálogo de Apellidos. But the spelling Alcuetas cannot be found in Carcar anymore.
Alcovendas-Alcomendras – we have gotten, more or less, the timeline of the two surnames, from Alcovendas to Alcomendras, including the transitional Alcomendas, but to get to how and why the variants came into the picture would be absolutely rewarding —but admittedly quite difficult to extract from the records.
Alduesa-Aldueso – it seemed significant that my file for Aldueso starts later than Alduesa, fueling a suspicion that the former may have been just a variant of Alduesa. I had started a trace of these two surnames but had been a little distracted from the research.
Aleyra-Allera – I have not began my Aleyra and Allera files—and the older Alera—but I just have a strong feeling the Allera family (there is no more voter for Alera and Aleyra) descended from these two older names.
Camonias-Camuñas – there is no more voter surnamed Camuñas but records for a family that later took on that surname existed from the 1840s. Another special fork is that of a Camonias branch that has Cabuñas as the surname of their ancestors. Which is which now?
Catao-Cataos – we can say categorically that Cataos families descended from the Catao. We do not, however, know how and why the change, or whether it was an official/legal change of name involved.
The Bagol line which legally changed their surname to Torres for the purported reason that their grandfather was actually Torres and the Bagol was just their father's nickname is a different story.
Panisan-Pansan – Pansan is the more numerous surname, but, like Aleyra-Allera, it's just a feeling, but strong, that the two surnames started from a single family. Some Panisan are related to me in both the Aleonar as well as the Barcelo families.

Portland has racked up an impressive number of accolades in recent years, topping lists compiled by magazines like Forbes, which named Portland the most "livable" city in America in 2009.
Earlier this month, a website called Card Hub named Portland one of America's "most learned" cities. The site, which provides information comparing credit card companies, came to this conclusion by counting the number of residents between the ages of 18 and 24 who have a bachelor's degree or higher level of education. Portland tied Ithaca, N.Y., for third, with 17.3 percent.
Of course, this is probably the most meaningless ranking ever devised, since most of the people counted simply haven't lived long enough to earn a four-year college degree. But that didn't stop Mayor Mike Brennan from trumpeting the report, announcing that it "highlights the fact that Portland's quality of life, cultural opportunities and professional atmosphere serve as a magnet attracting people and economic opportunity to the city."
First off, Mr. Mayor, don't put magnets and credit cards in the same press release. Second, the report says nothing about our "quality of life, cultural opportunities and professional atmosphere," whatever a "professional atmosphere" is. (Do other cities have an "amateur atmosphere"?)
It's fitting that a magazine obsessed with wealth and a website that encourages people to take on credit-card debt find Portland so appealing. From the Maine State Pier to Congress Square to the Portland Technology Park that opens this week on Rand Road, the city's leaders have consistently proven themselves to be suckers for fat cats promising fast cash. They'll sell public property and lavish our tax dollars on any 1-percenter who shows up promising to create a few jobs and lure more visitors to their own expensive hotels.
In 2006, a politically connected developer, Tom Walsh of Ocean Properties, showed up to pitch his plan to turn the Maine State Pier — one of the most valuable pieces of public property in New England — into a playground for the rich (classy hotel, elite office space, seafood restaurant, etc.). City officials made it seem like the pier's pilings were so rotted that it was about to fall into the harbor. They told us the city didn't have the money to maintain this crucial piece of infrastructure and couldn't find any marine-related businesses to lease space there and provide revenue to fix it.
We know how this fable ended. After another wealthy developer pitched a competing plan, the City Council had a hard time deciding which plutocrat should get our pier, eventually offered it to both, and both ultimately bailed out. Lo and behold, there are marine-related businesses eager to rent space there: two seafood processors, one of which recently announced plans to expand and invest roughly $2 million in the facility. And somehow, seven years later, the pier is still standing. (It's the city's commitment to the working waterfront that's wobbly. Economic development director Greg Mitchell stated that the city reserves the right to buy out the processor's lease "if there is a change in direction with the Maine State Pier.")
In the case of Congress Square, toadies inside and outside City Hall told us a similar lie: There's no public money to improve this public property, so it's time to privatize. We found out how this tall tale ended on Monday, when many of the same sycophantic city councilors who tried to sell our pier voted to sell most of our square to an out-of-state private equity firm.
Pseudo-progressives like Mayor Brennan keep spewing blather about Portland's economic success and creative citizenry, but his actions tell a very different story: Portland is too poor to spend a dime improving this park, and no one in this cultural mecca can come up with a single idea that would entice people to spend time at a public square in the heart of the Arts District.
Two days later, Mayor Two-Face is cutting a ribbon to celebrate the completion of the first phase of the Portland Technology Park. Our cash-strapped city government is borrowing $660,000, plus interest, to match an equal amount of public money from the feds in order to build a road and provide other free infrastructure for "life science businesses" (biotech firms and drug companies, mostly) that may or may not show up.
This is the kind of "park" the mayor supports — one built with more than $1.2 million worth of corporate welfare. And that's just the first phase; Phase II promises to deliver more of the same.
With this ribbon-cutting ceremony, Portland also celebrates its ascension to the top of another list: The Most Hypocritical City in America.

Author Notes: Over the past several years my sister has made herself the queen of sauces. Her salsas, be they red or green, are incomparable. But in my mind, it is her simply heavenly tartar sauce that has earned her that crown.
Her original formula calls for fine diced yellow onions. For those fortunate enough to find themselves among spring ramps, please substitute them in equal quantity for the onions. Trim and slice them on a pretty, thin diagonal, and be sure to include some of the beautiful, tender green. As for the dill, snip some of the first tender fronds, and also chop up some of those lovely, soft stems. —boulangere
Makes: 2 1/2 cups
cups mayonnaise
cup first sprout dill fronds and stems, fine dice
yellow onion, fine dice; don't use red onion because it will turn the sauce pink and people will find that, and you, strange
cup spring ramps, sliced 1/4" thick on the diagonal, some of the tender greens included
Zest of 1 lemon, microplaned
Juice of one lemon, strained
Salt and pepper to taste
- Into a stainless steel or glass or pottery mixing bowl, measure mayonnaise, minced dill fronds and tender early stems, and onion or ramps. Use a fine microplane to zest the lemon right into the bowl. Place a fine mesh strainer over a measuring cup or small bowl and ream the lemon to strain out seeds and pulp. Press the pulp with the back of a spoon to extract more juice. Pour into the rest of the sauce.
- Whisk all ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with your favorite grilled fish, fish sandwiches, or fish/crab/shrimp cakes in or out of a sandwich. Also great on fish tacos, and please don't tell me that's heresy.

If you've ever seen a Porsche Supercup race, you've probably wondered how you'd fare in the Porsche's GT3-based spec series. And if you haven't, then you must have thought about what it would be like to drive one of these cars on the street...
In fact, you can get a fairly good idea of what a Cup car is like if you've been fortunate enough to drive the 911 GT3 RS, because it's actually the basis for the GT3 Cup cars used in the Supercup series. The biggest difference between the Cup car and GT3 RS are the transmissions (sequential for the racecar) and about 400 lb in weight (2646 lb race vs 3020lb road).
I'm sure most of us would be happy with a stock GT3 RS - one of the most focused and least compromising production cars you can buy. But some people, like John Mendoza, don't want to settle for second best. They want to know exactly what it would be like to drive a Cup car, so he did something about it...
His quest to build his own GT3 Cup car started when he loaded his 2007 997.1 GT3 on a trailer bound for Tennessee, signing the title over to the new owner. And in a classic case of not knowing what you've got until it's gone, it didn't take long for him to start longing for another one.
He went one step further, though, and put his name on the list at his local Porsche dealership for the yet-to-be-unveiled 991 GT3. But once he discovered the new car would only be available with Porsche's dual-clutch PDK transmission, he cancelled his order, preferring the connection and control of a manual shift more than the automated one.
Back on the hunt, he started looking for a 997.2 GT3 RS, eventually finding the right example in Florida. It was in Carrera white with red decals and had the lightweight halogen headlights rather than the heavier HIDs.
Once in his possession, Mendoza stripped off the vinyl, bringing it closer to the GT3 Cup car. He then added a Cup front splitter, which extends 15mm lower than the stock part to increase downforce. After that, he swapped the reclining carbon fiber seats, which weigh 39 lb each, for a pair of European-spec GT3 Clubsport seats (the same as fitted in the Carrera GT). Apparently, they cost a mind-blowing $20k, or what we call a down payment on a house!
The next swap was from the stock rear spoiler to the Cup wing. It sits considerably higher, measuring 66.9" to the road car's 57.5". It certainly makes a statement and both the splitter and wing came directly from Porsche Motorsport, costing about $5300.
A few weeks later, he got his hands on a titanium Akrapovic Cup exhaust from Aleks Doba at Alekshop in Fremont, CA. The $7k system was good for an extra 8hp at 3970rpm and, because it does away with the OEM side mufflers, weighed 46.3 lb less than the stock - further improving the performance.
Shaving weight was important because he'd add some with the FIA-approved, European Club Sport, six-point rollcage from Carnewal in Belgium. Installed by Mike Tolle at Tolle Fab in Rancho Cordova, CA, the $10k cage would add 84 lb, but the increased rigidity and safety was Mendoza's main concern with his intention to use the finished car on the track.
The next step was swapping the stock steering wheel for a lighter OMP part from Porsche Motorsport, attached to a Works Bell short hub and Rapfix II quick release.
Then came a CAE shifter from Germany. At first glance it looks like a sequential shifter but actually retains the H-pattern of the stock transmission. The lever is taller, placed closer to the steering wheel for quicker access and Mendoza said the action was "like a rifle bolt."
Wheels are vital to any project build and John was able to purchase the same BBS Motorsport wheels as used on the GT3 Cup car. They help shed some unsprung weight, tipping the scales at 22.2/23.4 lb front/rear versus 23.5/28 lb for the stock rims.
The wheels were purchased through our friend Eric Nareshni at Supreme Power Parts in Placentia, CA, costing about $1600 per corner. He also provided the tires, which are 245/40 and 335/30 Michelin PPS2 on the street. The car runs a second set of 18s at the track, fitted with 245/40 and 305/35 Nitto NT01 rubber.
To date, the suspension remains stock, the GT3 RS set up stiff enough for its intended use, although John plans to upgrade to RSS control arms in the near future.
As a production engine with one of the highest horsepower-per-liter figures in the world, the 450hp 3.8-liter RS motor didn't have much headroom for improvement but John took it to Sharkwerks in Fremont, CA nonetheless. They fitted the EVOMSit software that was reportedly good for another 16whp and 13 lb-ft on 91-octane gas with the stock exhaust. Throw in the Akrapovic system and the engine should be good for an extra 25-30hp to the crank.
As a final flourish, Mendoza revisited his choice of seats, deciding to remove the pricey Carrera GT items in favor of ultra-lightweight Recaro Pro Racer seats. Manufactured in carbon/kevlar and supplied by Griffin Motorwerke, they weigh a scant 10 lb each, counteracting the inclusion of the rollcage.
Some $43k later, John now has a faster, stiffer and more stable 911 GT3 RS, highlighted with genuine Cup parts and a selection of topnotch components. While that's a heavy budget, he can claim that he now knows what it's like to drive a GT3 Cup car on the road.

I presently use as my IP now bellsouth.net. Also I still have my other IP which is earthlink.net but have that connection disabled, used for a back-up.
I also can receive mail from a host of online mailers I use but when sending anything out I encounter this error log:
* Logging into mail.bellsouth.net server....
* 502 Command is locally disabled
I have checked my connections which read as follows:
pop server: mail.bellsouth.net
smtp server: mail.bellsouth.net
pop server: pop.earthlink.net
smtp server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
So now first off what is a *502 Command? and why is it locally disabled?
I have tried configuring with: Login, plain, CRAM-MD5. Now yesterday using both IP connections at different times of course I was able to receive and send from PocoMail, today I can still receive but cannot send any emails because of the above mentioned error.
Presently I am using PocoMail 184.108.40.2060
Anyone have a solution for this or an explaination of the error?
Thxs ahead,

Real Estate Professional - Benefits of a Home Warranty
Benefits to Homeowner | Benefits to Home Buyer | Benefits to Seller | Benefits to Real Estate Professional
Benefits to Homeowner
HELP is only a phone call away!
The cost of a service plan is a small investment to preserve your peace of mind!
Benefits to Seller
Home warranties offer protection against costly repairs to sellers while the home is listed for sale, and peace of mind for the buyer (and seller) after the close of sale. In addition, homes listed with a home warranty are more attractive to potential buyers, and tend to sell faster and closer to the asking price.
The benefits of a Fidelity National home warranty plan for someone trying to sell their home far outweigh the cost:
"Statistically, homes listed with
a home warranty sell faster
Benefits to Real Estate Professional
A home warranty is a very important aspect of the real estate transaction providing many benefits during the marketing period, while the home is in under contract and after the close of sale.
Adding up the Seller and Buyer benefits, the Real Estate Professional can't go wrong in placing a home warranty on all their transactions. It's a win-win for everyone involved!

Special equipment: 8-quart nonreactive, stainless steel stockpot Metal colander or steamer insert
In the stockpot, sweat the garlic, leeks, and salt in the olive oil until softened over medium-low heat. Place the mussels in the colander and spray them with cold water to remove any excess dirt or grit. Remove any beards with a pair of needle-nose pliers.
Add the chopped tomato and the wine to the stockpot and turn the heat to medium high, and bring to a simmer. Insert the colander of mussels into the stockpot and cover. After 3 minutes, check to see if the mussels have opened. If some are still closed, cover the pot, and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Discard any unopened mussels.
Place the mussels in a serving bowl. Remove 10 mussels from their shells and add them to the stockpot. Using a stick blender or a bar blender, puree the mussels until the liquid is of a sauce-like consistency.
Pour the sauce over the mussels and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with a loaf of crusty bread.

My dad was born in Indiana and I never really thought about why or how they ended up in Indiana. In fact, as a child, I thought that my dad must be an Indian, since he was born in Indiana. While visiting Grampa, I finally remembered to ask.
My grandmother's sister, Peggy and her husband Bob Burbridge, lived in Booneville, Indiana and worked at the Chrysler factory in Evansville. This was during the War, so it'd been transformed into a bullet factory. "Chrysler's Evansville, Indiana, factory literally produced 'bullets by the billions,' including some 485 million cartridges for .30-caliber carbines and nearly 2.8 billion cartridges for .45-caliber carbines. Just as Chrysler prepared for production at its Evansville plant in July 1942, the Ordnance Department ordered the automaker to substitute steel for brass for the cartridge cases. Although this last minute change required Chrysler to retool much of the plant, full-scale production began in October." (Riding the Roller Coaster: A History of the Chrysler Corporation by Charles K. Hyde,)
|Life Magazine advertisement, Feb 7, 1944, p. 27
Both Peggy and Bob worked and needed help with their children. My grandfather was working in California at Davies Auto, but wasn't doing what he wanted to be doing. So when Peggy and Bob asked if Grampa and Gramma could come to Indiana they jumped at the chance. Gramma took care of the children and Grampa went to work at the factory.
|Grampa, Dad, Auntie Karen
The factory shut down at the end of the war to convert back to cars and Grampa decided to return to California and Davies Automotive where he became a mechanic and worked for several years.

- Sauber
De Silvestro completes first Sauber test
Simona de Silvestro got her first taste of Formula One on Saturday and Sunday after testing with Sauber at Ferrari's test track in Fiorano.
De Silvestro completed 112 laps on Saturday and 68 on Sunday behind the wheel of a 2012 Sauber, repainted in favour of her personal backers, including as Clean Air Energy, who supported her career in the US. De Silvestro gave up a promising IndyCar career to pursue her opportunity in F1, after she became the first woman to secure a road-course podium in the history of the series at Houston last October.
She has already spent much of the season so far working in Sauber's simulator at Hinwil in her native Switzerland. This weekend's test is de Silvestro's next step in qualifying for an F1 super licence, and her programme with Sauber will also see her get back behind the wheel of the C31 from June 25 to 27.
De Silvestro has made no secret of her desire to race in F1, which she will be able to do once she aquires her super licence.
Following Sunday's test, de Silvestro said: "It was another good day. Everything feels more familiar to me compared to yesterday, when things were new to me. We made some changes to the set-up, which gave me the opportunity to get a feeling for those changes and learn how the car reacts to them. I can say that I already feel confident in the car, which is very positive.
"I'm quite happy with what I was able to achieve over the two days. A big thank you to the team who did a fabulous job explaining everything to me, and giving me the time to reflect on this. I had a lot of questions, and I got all the answers from the engineers, who took the time to show me the data and discuss it with me in all detail. I'm already looking forward to my next opportunity to test the C31."
Incredible day in the C31 @OfficialSF1Team ! Really happy about how today went! Can t wait to go at it again tomorrow pic.twitter.com/I2toutyclx— Simona De Silvestro (@simdesilvestro) April 26, 2014
