What are Legislature's tax plans?
It all depends, to paraphrase Bill Clinton's infamous line, on what your definition of "tax increase" may be.
The California Constitution – thanks to Proposition 13 – effectively defines tax increase as "any changes in state taxes enacted for the purpose of increasing revenues … whether by increased rates or changes in methods of computation" and requires two-thirds legislative votes to make changes.
Republicans have embraced that view, and as long as they held at least a third of the seats in either legislative house, it prevailed.
The Legislature has imposed only two significant state tax increases, both temporary, since Prop. 13 passed in 1978. But with the advent of Democratic legislative supermajorities, the Republican grip on taxes has been loosened.
That doesn't mean that Democrats will immediately jack up sales or income taxes – especially since voters just did it by passing Proposition 30.
"Voters do not want us to burst out the gate to raise more taxes," Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, the president pro tem of the state Senate, said as the Legislature reconvened Monday.
But while talking to reporters, Steinberg adopted a narrow definition of "raise more taxes" by embracing a constitutional amendment that would lower the threshold of voter approval for local parcel taxes, a form of property tax, and potential elimination or reduction of some "tax expenditures," usually called "loopholes."
Potentially, there's a lot of money at stake in the latter, which would require two-thirds votes to change.
This year, the Legislature's budget analyst estimated that there are $45 billion in annual "tax expenditures," defined as exceptions to taxation for specific purposes.
The biggest, valued at $4.3 billion, is the personal income tax deduction for mortgage interest, followed by tax-exempt employers' contributions to pension plans ($3.5 billion) and to employee health care ($3.2 billion).
Those and other exceptions with broad application and high popularity, such as the exemption of Social Security income, are very unlikely to be touched.
But they could be limited for high-income taxpayers, and there is an array of business tax breaks that liberal groups have long targeted, such as the $600 million in tax credits for "enterprise zones."
EZs, as they are known, may become a test of the Legislature's appetite for loophole closure, since they have been widely criticized as lacking any demonstrable public benefit.
Steinberg argues, persuasively, that tax expenditures should be subjected to the same scrutiny as budgeted expenditures.
But he also knows that Democrats enacted most of them, such as a sales-tax loophole for the custom software industry and the very recent tax break for the Democrat-friendly movie industry, so we'll see how far he gets.

11.34: Respiratory System Diseases
What's this boy doing?
This inhaler can help ease the symptoms of asthma. The boy may have felt an asthma attack coming on. Tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing are common signs of an asthma attack. He is fortunate that asthma can usually be controlled with medicine.
Diseases of the Respiratory System
Respiratory diseases are diseases of the lungs, bronchial tubes, trachea, nose, and throat (Figure below). These diseases can range from a mild cold to a severe case of pneumonia. Respiratory diseases are common and may cause illness or death. Some respiratory diseases are caused by bacteria or viruses, while others are caused by environmental pollutants such as tobacco smoke. Some diseases are genetic and, therefore, are inherited.
This boy is suffering from whooping cough (also known as pertussis), which gets its name from the loud whooping sound that is made when the person inhales during a coughing fit.
Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi, the air passages that conduct air into the lungs. The bronchi become red and swollen with infection. Acute bronchitis is usually caused by viruses or bacteria, and may last several days or weeks. It is characterized by a cough that produces phlegm, or mucus. Symptoms include shortness of breath and wheezing. Acute bronchitis is usually treated with antibiotics.
Asthma is a chronic illness in which the bronchioles, the tiny branches into which the bronchi are divided, become inflamed and narrow, as shown in Figure below. The muscles around the bronchioles contract, which narrows the airways. Large amounts of mucus are also made by the cells in the lungs. People with asthma have difficulty breathing. Their chests feel tight, and they wheeze.
Asthma can be caused by different things, such as allergies. Asthma can also be caused by cold air, warm air, moist air, exercise, or stress. The most common asthma triggers are illnesses, like the common cold.
Asthma is not contagious and cannot be passed on to other people. Children and adolescents who have asthma can still lead active lives if they control their asthma. Asthma can be controlled by taking medication and by avoiding contact with environmental triggers for asthma, like smoking.
Asthma occurs when the bronchioles swell and the muscles around the bronchioles contract.
Pneumonia is an illness that occurs when the alveoli, the tiny sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place, become inflamed and filled with fluid. When a person has pneumonia, gas exchange cannot occur properly across the alveoli. Pneumonia can be caused by many things. Infection by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites can cause pneumonia. An injury caused by chemicals or a physical injury to the lungs can also cause pneumonia. Symptoms of pneumonia include cough, chest pain, fever, and difficulty breathing. Treatment depends on the cause of pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia is treated with antibiotics.
Pneumonia is a common illness that affects people in all age groups. It is a leading cause of death among the elderly and people who are chronically and terminally ill.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common and often deadly disease caused by a genus of bacterium called Mycobacterium. Tuberculosis most commonly attacks the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. TB is a chronic disease, but most people who become infected do not develop the full disease. Symptome include a cough which usually contains mucus and coughing up blood.
The TB bacteria are spread in the air when people who have the disease cough, sneeze, or spit, so it is very contagious. To help prevent the spread of the disease, public health notices, such as the one in Figure below, remind people how to stop the spread of the disease.
A public health notice from the early 20th century reminded people that TB could be spread very easily.
Lung cancer is a disease in which the cells found in the lungs grow out of control. The growing mass of cells can form a tumor that pushes into nearby tissues. The tumor will affect how these tissues work. Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death in men, and the second most common in women. It is responsible for 1.3 million deaths worldwide every year (Figure below). The most common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing (including coughing up blood), and weight loss. The most common cause of lung cancer is exposure to tobacco smoke.
The inside of a lung showing cancerous tissue.
Emphysema is a chronic lung disease caused by the breakdown of the lung tissue. Symptoms of emphysema include shortness of breath during exercise. Damage to the alveoli, which can be seen in Figure below, is not curable. Smoking is the leading cause of emphysema.
The lung of a smoker who had emphysema (left). Tar, a sticky, black substance found in tobacco smoke, is evident. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (right), is a tobacco-related disease that is characterized by emphysema.
Causes of Respiratory Diseases
Many respiratory diseases are caused by pathogens. A pathogen is an organism that causes disease in another organism. Certain bacteria, viruses, and fungi are pathogens of the respiratory system. The common cold and flu are caused by viruses. The influenza virus that causes the flu is shown in Figure below. Tuberculosis, whooping cough, and acute bronchitis are caused by bacteria. The pathogens that cause colds, flu, and TB can be passed from person to person by coughing, sneezing, and spitting.
This is the influenza virus that causes the swine flu, or H1N1. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children between the ages of 6 months and 19 years get a flu vaccination each year.
Pollution is another common cause of respiratory disease. The quality of the air you breathe can affect the health of your lungs. Asthma, heart and lung diseases, allergies, and several types of cancers are all linked to air quality. Air pollution is not just found outdoors; indoor air pollution can also be responsible for health problems.
Smoking is the major cause of chronic respiratory disease as well as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Exposure to tobacco smoke by smoking or by breathing air that contains tobacco smoke is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Regular smokers die about 10 years earlier than nonsmokers do. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes tobacco use as "the single most important preventable risk to human health in developed countries and an important cause of [early] death worldwide."

In the seemingly endless battle to restore some semblance of sanity to America's gun policies, Tom Diaz has developed an expertise on the 800-pound guerilla that stays in the shadows of gun control struggles: the American gun industry.
As a former senior policy advisor at the Violence Policy Center and as a US House Judiciary Committee specialist on terrorism and firearms, he has extensively researched the companies and people that profit off an expansive gun market, as free of as many regulations as possible.
"The Last Gun: How Changes in the Gun Industry Are Killing Americans and What It Will Take to Stop It" explores how gun profiteering extends far beyond shibboleths of "self-defense" and hunting into creating a market for highly lethal hi-tech and militarized weaponry. These include assault weapons and assassination/terrorist firearms such as the .50 caliber sniper rifle.
Joshua Horwitz, executive director, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence writes of "The Last Gun":
Through a gripping narrative that combines plenty of factual data with compelling storytelling, Diaz makes the convincing case that the gun industry is knowingly trading American lives for profits. . . . Never one to pull his punches, he methodically identifies the gun industry's enablers, including politicians, lobbyists, and members of the media. After the tragedy of Newtown, if you are going to read one book to understand the current political fight in Washington, this is it.
The following are excerpts from "The Last Gun":
From the Introduction
In the four decades between 1969 and 2009, a total of 5,586 people were killed in terrorist attacks against the United States or its interests, according to a May 2011 report by a conservative Washington policy institute, the Heritage Foundation. This number includes those killed in the terror attacks within the United States on September 11, 2001. By comparison, more than 30,000 people were killed by guns in the United States every single year between 1986 and 2010, with the exception of four years in which the number of deaths fell slightly below 30,000—1999, 2000, 2001, and 2004. In other words, the number of people killed every year in the United States by guns is about five times the grand total of Americans killed in terrorist attacks anywhere in the world since 1969.
Here is another perspective. In 2010, five Americans were killed worldwide by terrorist attacks. In the same year, fifty- five law enforcement officers were killed by guns in the United States—out of a total of fifty-six officers killed feloniously. (The fifty-sixth officer was killed by a motor vehicle.) In plain words, more than ten times the number of law enforcement officers were killed by guns in the United States in 2010 than all of the Americans killed by terrorism anywhere in the world that year. It gets even worse.
Every year, more Americans are killed by guns in the United States than people of all nationalities are killed worldwide by terrorist attacks.
America has engaged in a "War Against Terrorism" at tremendous social and financial cost since the so-called 9/11 attacks of September 11, 2001.The specter of terrorism that drives these costs also has inspired infringements on civil liberties that at least some would have thought unthinkable before the attacks.
Why is there no equivalent "war" against gun violence, which takes and shatters the lives of more Americans than does terrorism by many, many times every single year? Why, when other articles of the Bill of Rights—such as those involving searches, wiretaps, and preventive arrests—are "balanced" against the fear of terrorism, is the Second Amendment fiercely claimed to be "untouchable" by the gun lobby and by the politicians who hew to its line, and is slavishly protected by activist conservative judges? Why do even many who favor some form of gun control continue to focus on "illegal guns" and the prosecution of criminals instead of prevention?
Given the lack of widespread public outcry for a reordering of our national priorities, Americans and their political leaders appear either to be ignorant of, or to have become inured to, the endless torrent of civilian gun violence in the United States. Why? And finally, why has the subject of gun control become, even among influential "moderate" Democrats, the "third rail" of politics?
This book examines and answers those questions. It documents in detail each of the following factors that contribute to the unique position of the United States as the world's dark archetype of gun violence:
• Levels of gun death and injury that mark the United States as a frightening aberration among industrialized nations.
• Deliberate suppression of data regarding criminal use of firearms, gun trafficking, and the public health consequences of firearms in the United States.
• The almost universal failure of the American news media to report on, even to understand, the continuing hurricane of gun violence in America.
• Aggressive "hypermarketing" of increasingly lethal weapons by a faltering industry.
• Militarization of the civilian gun market as the driving force in that marketing.
• Indifference by policy makers who might be expected to lead on gun control, and widespread acquiescence by elected officials to the gun lobby's unrelenting legislative campaigns.
The intricate interweaving of these factors is aptly illustrated by an incident that occurred on Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado on November 21, 2011. On that date, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Airman First Class Nico Cruz Santos barricaded himself in a building, armed with his personal handgun. He appears to have been a troubled person, reacting to his imminent discharge from the air force and possible imprisonment after having pleaded guilty in a civilian court to a charge of attempted sexual exploitation of a child. Airman Santos surrendered without violence at about eight p.m.
The building in which Santos barricaded himself was a personnel processing center, a facility in which airmen are prepared for deployment. That fact brought immediately to mind the events of November 5, 2009, when U.S. Army Major Nidal M. Hasan is alleged to have gone on a rampage with his personal handgun in a similar deployment center at Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan left a total of thirteen dead and thirty-two wounded. Major Hasan was subdued only after he was shot several times by police.
The massacre of which Major Nidal Hasan is accused generated a great deal of attention from the news media, policy makers, and politicians. However, most of this attention focused on two points: whether the mass shooting should be classified as a terrorist attack by "violent Islamist extremism," and where blame should be assigned within the nation's military and intelligence apparatuses for failure to anticipate and head off the rampage.
Little media reporting and virtually no official scrutiny has been devoted to the singular implement with which Major Hasan is accused of mowing down forty-five of his comrades-in-arms within ten minutes. This was an FN Five-seveN, a 5.7mm high- capacity semiautomatic pistol manufactured by the Belgian armaments maker FN Herstal (FN).
In one significant example, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs issued a report purporting to address the "counterterrorism lessons" to be drawn from the Fort Hood matter. But the committee's report emphasized that it had not "examined . . . the facts of what happened during the attack." The word gun or firearm appears nowhere in the committee's report, much less the make, model, and caliber of the efficient killing machine Major Hasan is accused of using. The committee described the incident itself in two sentences, as a "lone attacker" striding into the center, and "moments later," thirteen "employees" of the Defense Department "were dead and another 32 were wounded," all by some unnamed cause. This is the remarkable equivalent of issuing a "lessons learned" report on the notorious 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City without mentioning the truck bomb by which its principal perpetrator, Timothy McVeigh, carried out his attack, or presenting a lecture on the implications of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, without addressing the use of commandeered jetliners as flying bombs. The omission is all the more remarkable because the committee chairman and co-author of the report, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, had stated in a May 2010 hearing on terrorists and guns that "the only two terrorist attacks on America since 9/11 that have been carried out and taken American lives were with firearms." He cited the Fort Hood shooting and the 2009 murder of an army recruiter in Little Rock, Arkansas, as the two attacks.
But according to testimony at a pretrial hearing, Major Hasan himself paid keen attention to selecting the weapon he used. He chose the FN Five-seveN pistol, and the accessories of laser aiming devices and high-capacity ammunition magazines, precisely because they suited his purpose of efficiently attacking a large number of people. Thus, before buying the handgun on August 1, 2009, Hasan asked a salesman at the Guns Galore gun dealer in Killeen, Texas, for "the most high-tech gun" available. Another witness, Specialist William Gilbert, a soldier and self-described "gun aficionado" who was in the store when Major Hasan made his inquiry, testified that the accused also sought maximum am- munition magazine capacity. Specialist Gilbert further testified that he owned an FN Five-seveN himself, and that he had recommended that model to Major Hasan because it met the officer's stated specifications. "It's extremely lightweight and very, very, very accurate," said Specialist Gilbert. "It's easy to fire and has minimum recoil." The soldier testified that he gave Major Hasan a forty-five-minute "full tactical demonstration" of the handgun's capabilities. According to the manufacturer, those capabilities are considerable. "Five-seveN Tactical handguns and SS190 ball ammunition team up to defeat the enemy in all close combat situations in urban areas, jungle conditions, night missions, etc. and for any self-defense action."
The FN Five-seveN and the accessories chosen by Major Hasan are neither aberrant nor unusual products on the U.S. civilian gun market. They are, rather, typical examples of the military-style weapons that define that market today. There is no mystery in this militarization. It is simply a business strategy aimed at survival: boosting sales and improving the bottom line in a desperate and fading line of commerce. The hard commercial fact is that military-style weapons sell in an increasingly narrowly focused civilian gun market. True sporting guns do not.
It was noted above that the word gun appears nowhere in the report of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs regarding the shootings at Fort Hood. Like much of what goes on in Congress, the report's drafting was done behind closed doors, but some clue as to why the authors of the report chose not to mention Major Hasan's wondrously deadly weapon may be found in the words of one co-author, the committee's ranking Republican member, Senator Susan Collins, in her opening statement at the committee's hearing Terrorists and Guns: The Nature of the Threat and Proposed Reforms.
For many Americans, including many Maine families, the right to own guns is part of their heritage and way of life. This right is protected by the Second Amendment.
And so this Committee confronts a difficult issue today: how do we protect the constitutional right of Americans to bear arms, while preventing terrorists from using guns to carry out their murderous plans?
One way to "protect the constitutional right" is simply to ignore the consequences of that right. This has increasingly been the choice of the nation's political leadership. In the words of Jim Kessler, vice president for policy at Third Way, a group distinguished both by its poll-driven policy proposals and its influence among moderate Democrats, "guns seem like the third rail."
Although Congress and the White House are perfectly prepared to "balance" other constitutional rights in pursuit of the so-called war on terror, neither has even the slightest inclination to do so in the case of gun rights, notwithstanding the massively disproportionate harm guns inflict on Americans. In 2009, for example, when U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder had the temerity to suggest that Congress should reenact the expired federal assault weapons ban, then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi swiftly squelched the idea. "Echoing the position often taken by advocates of gun rights," according to the New York Times, Mrs. Pelosi observed, "On that score, I think we need to enforce the laws we have right now." The issue is considered "toxic" to Democrats, according to many political observers.
From the Afterword
The landmark [2012] election and the horror of Newtown challenge progressive leaders and policy makers as they have never been challenged before. They must act decisively to address the underlying causes of gun violence in America described in the preceding pages. If they do not, they likely and rightly will be swept aside in favor of new leadership.
This much is certain: the gun industry will dig in as it has always done, and continue to profit from fear and violence—until the very last gun.

North Carolina offensive lineman happy to be a Tiger |
by Nikki Hood - Staff Writer - 2014-08-15 21:57:15.0 |
Logan Tisch is no stranger to the Clemson football program and is already part of the family because his sister Jocelyn is a rising senior at Clemson, but the 2015 Chapel Hill (NC) offensive lineman officially made himself a Clemson Tiger Tuesday afternoon when he told head coach Dabo SwinneyDabo Swinney The 6-3, 290-pound guard had walk-on offers from Duke and North Carolina and a handful of scholarship offers from smaller schools, but he wanted to carry on the family tradition of being a Tiger. "I was down at Clemson on Tuesday to see the facilities and take in practice and I was pulled out of one of the meetings to talk to Coach Swinney," Tisch told TigerNet Friday afternoon. "We talked about Clemson and I told him that I wanted to come and play for Clemson. I've always liked Clemson and it just feels like a home away from home for me. It really presented the best opportunity for me on the field as well as academically." Tisch's older sister is the person that introduced him to Clemson – bringing him on campus and taking him to football games. However, attending Swinney's high school camps further entrenched his love for the school. "I have been to Clemson's campus many times because my sister is going to be a senior at Clemson this year," Tisch said. "I've been to a lot of games over the last couple of years with my family and I've also camped at Clemson for the past several years, so I've gotten to know the campus and the coaches really well." Academics and the chance to study at one of the top engineering schools in the country also played a major role in Tisch's decision. "I want to major in biosystems engineering," he said. "I've already sat down and talked to an academic counselor about it. I know that it would be a challenge trying to major in engineering and play football, but I'm up for it." Tisch may not be a highly recruited prospect, but if you expect him to back down when he's face to face with a great defensive lineman, think again. "I'm a very aggressive offensive lineman," he said. "I don't back down from anyone or any challenge and I give it my all on every play." Tisch already has the passion to be a great football player, but he said that receiving instruction from offensive line coach Robbie CaldwellRobbie Caldwell "I love Coach Caldwell," he said. "He's a good guy and he's very sincere. He's upfront with you about everything. He'll tell you when you're doing something right or when you're doing something wrong."

text: One of the best things about living in the beautiful state of Maine is our abundance of fresh seafood! I can go right down the road from my house and pick up fish, lobsters and shellfish that was caught only hours before. We even have fresh, live lobsters at out Farmers Market! Seafood is everywhere! Maine is still up to it's eyeballs in snow and winter. Let me tell you that nothing is better on a cold day in New England then a bowl of hot, steaming chowder to warm you up! Here is a great … [Read more...]

My soul is an entangled knot,
Upon a liquid vortex wrought
By Intellect in the Unseen residing,
And thine doth like a convict sit,
With marline-spike untwisting it,
Only to find its knottiness abiding;
Since all the tools for its untying
In four-dimensional space are lying,
Wherein they fancy intersperses
Long avenues of universes,
While Klein and Clifford fill the void
With one finite, unbounded homoloid,
And think the Infinite is now at last destroyed.
The Life of James Clek Maxwell
The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.
Quoted in E T Bell, Men of Mathematics
The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible?
Quoted in E Maor, To infinity and beyond (Princeton 1991)
In order to obtain physical ideas without adopting a physical theory we must make ourselves familiar with the existence of physical analogies. By a physical analogy I mean that partial similarity between the laws of one science and those of another which makes each of them illustrate the other. Thus all the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of. numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.
On Faraday's Lines of Force (1856).
Every existence above a certain rank has its singular points; the higher the rank the more of them. At these points, influences whose physical magnitude is too small to be taken account of by a finite being may produce results of the greatest importance.
Mathematicians my flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express. Let them make the effort to express these ideas in appropriate words without the aid of symbols, and if they succeed they will not only lay us laymen under a lasting obligation, but, we venture to say, they will find themselves very much enlightened during the process, and will even be doubtful whether the ideas as expressed in symbols had ever quite found their way out of the equations into their minds.
I have also a paper afloat, with an electromagnetic theory of light, which, till I am convinced to the contrary, I hold to be great guns.
In a letter to C. H. Cay, 5 January 1865.
What's the go of that? What's the particular go of that?
Comments made as a child expressing his curiousity about mechanical things and physical phenomena.
... that, in a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals.
[Maxwell strongly disagreed with these views and was attacking them.]

Never one to divulge too much about her personal life, Kristen Stewart made a surprise move when she confirmed she's in a relationship with Alicia Cargile in her cover story for the August 2016 issue of ELLE UK magazine.
Kicking off the week with some media duties, Kristen Stewart showed up at Rockefeller Center in New York City on Monday night (July 11).
The "Snow White and the Huntsman" hottie was in the house to plug her new movie "Café Society" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," and before she knew it she was playing an intense round of Jello Shot Twister.
Taking care of some promotional duties, Kristen Stewart showed up at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film "Equals" at the ArcLight on Thursday night (July 7).
Joined by Nicholas Hoult and Jacki Weaver, the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" darling was all smiles as she posed for the paparazzi before heading inside.
Lending her unique beauty to Karl Lagerfeld's latest project, Kristen Stewart is the star of the just-released clips for the "Paris in Rome" range from Chanel.
The "Twilight Saga: New Moon" actress has been working with the French fashion house since 2013, having expanded from strictly apparel into eyewear and makeup spots.
Actress Kristen Stewart's new supernatural drama has become the first film to receive boos instead of applause at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Following up his success on "Life of Pi," director Ang Lee is back with yet another emotionally-rich project titled "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk."
Based on the book of the same name, the film "tells the story of a group of soldiers who return home from Iraq for a victory tour at their town's Thanksgiving Day football game halftime show. But through flashbacks, it's revealed that the realities the men faced in war weren't as triumphant as their friend's and family's perceptions."
Gearing up for their big premiere, the cast of "Café Society" arrived for a photocall at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival today (May 11).
It's always exciting to see what writer/director Woody Allen has been up to, and his latest flick "Café Society" has a brand new trailer that's chock full of stars.

What a great beginning of a new year! Lots of new things happening:
- I applied for a grant to go to Japan as part of the Japan-U.S. Teacher Exchange program for ESD to learn more about the country and share it with my students and the community. I really hope I'm selected and am keeping my fingers crossed!
- My son went off to college. He's been taking classes locally and on-line but now it's time for him to move away. I'm excited for him but it's hard to see him go. Yet, he is definitely ready for it!
- My mom is moving in to a new place so she'll have people around her. I worry about her living alone so I visit often but not as often as she needs. So hopefully, she'll be happy in her new place.
- At school we start very year with what we call "Museum". Every student selects a topic that they want to learn more about. It has been a great start – the students are really into their topics. They can be seen with their piles of books and paper writing down answers to their questions. It's great to see! The project isn't new but every year it's different because the topics are different and the students bring so much energy into the study and I learn so much from them.


text: Medical Definition of PaprikaPaprika: A spicy seasoning ground from a variety of sweet red pepper (Capsicum annuum), the original source of vitamin C, isolated by the Hungarian scientist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (1893-1986). The story goes that Szent-Gyorgyi did not like paprika and so took his plate of paprika pods into his laboratory, not wanting to offend his wife. As he looked at the mound of peppers, he realized that he had never tested the pepper for its compounds. The results surprised him. He found that a paprika pepper contained 5-6 times more vitamin C than an orange or lemon. For the next few weeks he had turned his place into a paprika-mashing center, involving his assistants and his entire family. He extracted and filled flask after flask, each of 50-liter capacity. In one week alone, he managed to extract half a kilogram of pure vitamin C, an unthinkable quantity at the time. Szent-Gyorgyi named it ascorbic acid (a-scorbic) because it cured scorbutic disease (scurvy). In 1937 Szent-Gyorgyi received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, in part for his isolation of vitamin C from paprika.

Foreign Language Film takes out cinematography honours at 24/7
Thirty three hopeful teams of young filmmakers joined this year's 24/7 Youth Film Festival in Sydney's Northern Beaches and once again Miller was one of the proud sponsors. The guideline is simple; 24 hours to make a 7 minute short film. Each contestant has (some of them) a script, actors, editing facilities, lighting and other equipment already organise for the night; others trust faith to do their job. They are given locations, items that they must include, sentences to slot in their scripts, concepts, symbols and a secret rule; making the competition interesting and extremely creative. With great prizes up for grabs for the creative winners, the competition can not only be enjoyable but also stressful. As part of the tradition that we've proudly being involved for three years now we reward the film with the best cinematography. The prize is a 1637 DS5 Solo System, also known as the 'Miller Prize for Best Cinematography'. Presented by Mark Clementson, Miller's Manufacturing Director and infamous 24/7 finals judge. (Picutred right with Tristan and tripod) This year's winner was a black and white, foreign language like film called: 'Podwodny Prad (translation from Polish - Current under Sea) and we caught up with this year's winner Tristan Harley interviewed by Miller's Gabriela Diaz festival coordinator for Miller Camera Support, of the 24/7 Youth Film Festival. Gabriela: How was the 24/7 Youth Film Festival experience for you? Tristan: It was amazing really. As a group, we had never made a film together before so being able to bounce off creative ideas with one another was a great experience. The fact that you only have 24 hours to make a film from start to finish meant that you are always working and thinking on your feet. You don't have the luxury of being able to spend time procrastinating or worrying about all the little things that go into filmmaking. It's all about surging towards the 8 pm deadline. Gabriela: How long did it take you to start the ball rolling in terms of the shooting? Tristan: We spent a month or two prior to the event discussing what kind of film we wanted to make and how we would go about making it. While we were not allowed to start shooting in this time, we were able to do some test shots (namely for the egg sequence) and compose and record the music. Jonathon Dooley, whom I play in a jazz ensemble with, was really inspiring in creating an improvised, solo double bass soundtrack which, looking back, played a huge role in shaping the style of the film. Gabriela: The secret rule this year was to have a word in a foreign language other than English. Why did you opt for your whole film to be in a foreign language? Tristan: We actually planned to do that before we heard about the secret rule. So it was really a coincidence. Two members of our crew were involved in long-distance relationships at the time so it was interesting to consider the way the world seemed to be paradoxically both expanding and contracting. By making the woman's voiceover entirely in Polish, while shooting the male protagonist on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, we hoped to explore the spatial dislocation of the characters through a separation between sound and image. Gabriela: What was the hardest thing about making the film? Tristan: I think the hardest thing about making the film was working out how to translate the ideas we had come up with onto the screen. With limited time, facilities and a zero budget, there are always going to be things you simply can't achieve. We were constantly thinking of how we could get around these problems while still maintaining the integrity of our ideas. Gabriela: Did everything go to plan? Tristan: On the whole I think it did. There were many elements of our film that we wanted to be predominantly improvised to allow for the signature items to be incorporated. As the festival location requirements determined where we would be shooting, we decided not to do any storyboards and instead just have a structural plan. The same was the case with the script, which was almost entirely written during the 24-hour period. Gabriela: If you were to sell this film and they asked you what is it about, how would you sum it up in one sentence? Tristan: I think it is a film that explores the ways in which two people communicate with one another in a relationship which is emotionally close, yet physically separated. Gabriela: With the weather not being on your side, what other problems did you encounter while shooting? Tristan: Looking back, I think we had a pretty good run in terms of what could have gone wrong. There were some minor problems relating to the technical aspects of filmmaking (flimsy tripods, computer malfunctions etc.) but, at the same time, there is an inherent beauty in working out what to do when these things don't work out. Filmmaking is always interesting when tracking shots and pans are beyond the capabilities of the equipment you are using. Saying that, no doubt a good Miller tripod will come in handy. Gabriela: I really wanted to talk about your film being shot in black and white. Why did you decide to do that? Tristan: From an early stage, we really wanted the cinematography to play a central role in the narrative development of the film, and not just reflect the ambience of the voice over. By shooting in black and white, and beginning the film with an extended sequence of still life's in Manly, we really tried to explore the weight of time that exists within any long-distance relationship. There is one line in the dialogue where she says, "I pray that someday time will go faster", and I think in many ways that plays upon what we were trying to achieve through the cinematography and editing. Gabriela: Would you be doing it again next year and what would you do better? Tristan: Hopefully. This was the first year any of the crew had entered the festival and we all thought that both the professionalism of the competition and the standard of the entries was quite remarkable. Personally, I'm not sure if I will ever lose the rush you get when you see a film both coming together during the editing process and then complete on the big screen. If all goes to plan, we would like to enter again next year. I'm sure we can improve on a lot of things as we develop our ideas and learn more about the filmmaking process. Gabriela: What tips can you give next year's competitors? Tristan: We found from competing this year that it is important to be both prepared and flexible. Knowing what film you are making prior to starting is important, but you also need to be willing to adjust your idea as you find out the signature items that need to be included. Other than that, as a wise filmmaker and terrible comedian must have said sometime, just give it your best shot. |

I have iphone 3G version 4.0 and baseband 05.13.04 Then I jailbroke and unlocked it successfully. But there was no APN set up to use internet on t mobile. Then I downgraded to version 3.1.2 and failed to use blackra1n rc3 to jalbreak and unlock the iphone. Now my iphone has version 3.1.2 but the baseband is still 05.13.04 I can just restore back to version 4.0 then jailbreak and unlock the phone. But my main concern is how to setup the internet with T-Mobile with unlimited $10 plan. Any one knows how to 1. setup internet with T-Mobile and still keep version 4.0 or 2. Jailbreak and unlock version 3.1.2 and downgrade the baseband 05.13.04 so hopefully I can setup internet with T-Mobile?Your any help wil greatly appreciated.

Alternate Names
- low blood sugar
- low blood glucose
Hypoglycemia is the condition that occurs when blood sugar, or glucose, levels drop below normal.
What is going on in the body?
Blood sugar levels drop when people don't eat for a long time, or when they have complications of diabetes and other diseases. The blood sugar level is affected by the hormones insulin and glucagon. An imbalance of these hormones can cause blood sugar levels to fall too low. When the blood sugar falls too low, hypoglycemia develops.
What are the causes and risks of the condition?
Hypoglycemia usually occurs in people with pre-diabetes or diabetes.
When people have type 1 diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the insulin made is not effective. When people have type 2 diabetes, they are resistant to insulin, usually because of obesity. In either case, blood sugar rises and builds up in the blood.
People with diabetes take insulin or oral medications to keep their blood sugar down. If a person with diabetes takes too much medication, misses meals, or doesn't eat enough food, the person can become hypoglycemic.
On occasion, hypoglycemia can occur in people who do not have diabetes. Hypoglycemia can also occur in early pregnancy. People can also become hypoglycemic if they fast for a long time or exercise for an extended period.
People taking certain medications, such as beta-blockers or aspirin, may become hypoglycemic more easily. Sometimes people who are alcoholics or binge drinkers can become hypoglycemic.
The single greatest short-term risk is injury to oneself or others while driving a car or operating heavy equipment, caused by the confusion or irritability that accompanies hypoglycemia.
What can be done to prevent the condition?
People with diabetes prevent hypoglycemia by frequently monitoring blood glucose levels and recognizing early symptoms of hypoglycemia. People who have diabetes can prevent hypoglycemia by keeping their blood sugar levels within their recommended range. They are trained to recognize when their blood sugar levels are dropping. They can quickly eat or drink something with sugar or take glucose tablets to prevent hypoglycemia from developing. Other people who have hypoglycemia can learn to eat and exercise in a way that does not cause their blood sugar to drop too low.
How is the condition diagnosed?
Hypoglycemia is diagnosed when a person complains of symptoms. Blood glucose levels are then measured. If the blood glucose levels are 45 mg/dL or less in women or 55 mg/dL or less in men, hypoglycemia is present. Finally, if the symptoms go away upon eating sugar or drinking a beverage with sugar, then the person probably has hypoglycemia.
Long Term Effects
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
Repeated episodes of hypoglycemia are now thought to cause mild forms of brain damage that may be irreversible. Rarely, severe hypoglycemia can cause a coma or death.
Other Risks
What are the risks to others?
There are no risks to others. This condition is not contagious.
What are the treatments for the condition?
The treatment for hypoglycemia is control of blood sugar levels. People with diabetes learn the early warning symptoms and quickly eat or drink a sugary substance. The same treatment works for people without diabetes who have hypoglycemia. Usually all people with hypoglycemia are advised to follow a healthy eating plan with a variety of foods eaten at regular intervals throughout the day.
Side Effects
What are the side effects of the treatments?
Too much sugar can cause the level of blood sugar to go too high. This is rarely a problem, except in people with severe diabetes.
After Treatment
What happens after treatment for the condition?
People begin to feel better very quickly after they bring up their blood sugar to normal ranges. The uncomfortable physical symptoms soon disappear after eating or drinking something with sugar.
How is the condition monitored?
People who become hypoglycemic easily, whether they have diabetes or not, learn to monitor their symptoms. The best way to avoid the uncomfortable, and sometimes dangerous, symptoms of hypoglycemia is to prevent the problem in the first place. People with diabetes who are prone to low blood sugar learn to monitor levels frequently to keep blood sugar within normal ranges.

Big bags and missing glassware
Every now and then I spot, or discover, a kleptomaniac (aka a klepto)....
Usually when one of these klepto-sightings occurs there is alcohol present and the "must have" item is some kind of glass.....(which leads me to believe that alot of kleptos reveal their true nature after a few drinks and that kleptos always feel they need glassware).
On Saturday night I watched a klepto shove a beer glass into his girlfriends big bag. As if this wasn't bad enough he made sure people saw he was doing it......(which now leads me to believe that kleptos are proud of being kleptos ).
After watching this display I had a little klepto sighting flash back... It was almost a year ago.....I was sitting at a restaurant with some friends, when after a few drinks the klepto at the table revealed herself by sticking a glass in her bag (there often seems to be one klepto in a group of friends). Then the klepto looked over at my bag and gave me a "klepto compliment".....
Klepto: wow, you have a nice big bag. you'd be able to fit a few glasses in that.
Me: ummm, thanks..... I think.
While i dont mind being friends with a klepto, I won't be inviting them to my next dinner party - I like my glassware too much ;)
Are you a klepto? Do you know a klepto?
27 comments
I have to admit that once apon a time I was a very bad Klepto. In my defense I was jobless and homeless and if I didnt steal I had no clothes or food. Or at least at the time I thought that. I was a little niave. Now I would never dream of taking something without asking/paying for it! I have to much to loose!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that's a bit of a klepto. I love her to bits though and she's never stolen anything when I was with her.
I once stole a Mr Magoo video from the video shop. I was 4 and I don't remember it but apparently I just walked out with it. My mom was too embarrased to take it back when she realised what I had taken. LOLOooo.
I have to confess, I have taken some stuff home from restaurants, but it is not because I am a klepto. I did without thinking about it. You know when you ask for dressing on the side at a restaurant and they give it to you in those little ceramic/glass/plastic pots? I would put those in the leftover box to take home, not meaning to "steal" them. But I didn't return them when I realized what I had done either... out of embarrassment and shame.

Impending inclement weather has forced Mississippi State to postpone today's scheduled baseball game with Alabama A&M. It will be played Wednesday at 5 p.m. at Dudy Noble Field.
MSU coach John Cohen said sophomore right-hander Kendall Graveman (2-0, 3.18 ERA) will draw the start on the mound; it'll be his fourth start of the season. Freshman Andrew Busby (1-0, 4.32) was originally slated to make his first career start, but Cohen is likely going to use several pitchers against A&M, which enters with a 3-18 record.
State (18-6) will return to SEC action at Georgia this weekend.

I was sort of thinking along the same lines the other day. How do you motivate a team that was 29 games under .500. I would say to the guys the ''second season'' starts today and our goal right now is to not finish last and while we are at it lets not have the worst record of the teams in Chicago. The opposite part of the equation is that these guys are professionals and are making more money in one year than most people will make in a lifetime and that they should still have some pride and that is all the motivation they need.
As a fan I don't ever want to see a White Sox team wind up in last place or have the worst record, I don't need any more 1970 seasons, one was enough. You might get the #1 pick which could turn out to be a dud.
Maybe Robin said all this to the guys the other day and so far, so good as we are off to a 3 game winning streak to start the ''second season.''
Coming up to bat for our White Sox is the Mighty Mite, Nelson Fox.

This was my dinner last night. Erik has been eating leftover ham for lunch and dinner for the past couple days. He's awesome with leftovers and doesn't mind eating the same thing over and over and over. I've also been eating ham but unlike Erik I am totally hammed out (we made a 10 pound ham for Easter). I needed something healthy. This quinoa dish was exactly that.
Very easy. Very tasty. Very Weight Watcher friendly. Next time I'll add avocado but mine wasn't ripe yet. If I wasn't on Weight Watchers (and limiting my dairy intake) I would add cheese and sour cream.
This recipe makes a huge batch (4+ servings).
Quinoa with black beans and corn (recipe adapted from Archer Farms)
1 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water or chicken stock (I used chicken stock for added flavor)
1 15.5 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15.5 oz can sweet corn, drained
1 red or green bell pepper, diced
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
3 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. ground cumin
Rinse quinoa with water. Combine quinoa and 1 1/2 cups water or chicken stock in medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered for 10-15 minutes until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine black beans, corn, bell pepper, tomatoes and cilantro. Stir in the cooked quinoa.
Combine lime juice, oil and cumin in a small bowl. Toss with quinoa mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm or chilled.

Solutions Overview
This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2016 Tenable Network Security, Inc.
Synopsis : The remote Scientific Linux host is missing one or more security updates. Description : This update fixes the following security issues : - a logic error was found in the do_setlk() function of the Linux kernel Network File System (NFS) implementation. If a signal interrupted a lock request, the local POSIX lock was incorrectly created. This could cause a denial of service on the NFS server if a file descriptor was closed before its corresponding lock request returned. (CVE-2008-4307, Important) - a deficiency was found in the Linux kernel system call auditing implementation on 64-bit systems. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to circumvent a system call audit configuration, if that configuration filtered based on the 'syscall' number or arguments. (CVE-2009-0834, Important) - the exit_notify() function in the Linux kernel did not properly reset the exit signal if a process executed a set user ID (setuid) application before exiting. This could allow a local, unprivileged user to elevate their privileges. (CVE-2009-1337, Important) - a flaw was found in the ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() function of the Linux kernel eCryptfs implementation. On systems with a 4096 byte page-size, this flaw may have caused 4096 bytes of uninitialized kernel memory to be written into the eCryptfs file headers, leading to an information leak. Note: Encrypted files created on systems running the vulnerable version of eCryptfs may contain leaked data in the eCryptfs file headers. This update does not remove any leaked data. Refer to the Knowledgebase article in the References section for further information. (CVE-2009-0787, Moderate) - the Linux kernel implementation of the Network File System (NFS) did not properly initialize the file name limit in the nfs_server data structure. This flaw could possibly lead to a denial of service on a client mounting an NFS share. (CVE-2009-1336, Moderate) This update also fixes the following bugs : - the enic driver (Cisco 10G Ethernet) did not operate under virtualization. (BZ#472474) - network interfaces using the IBM eHEA Ethernet device driver could not be successfully configured under low-memory conditions. (BZ#487035) - bonding with the 'arp_validate=3' option may have prevented fail overs. (BZ#488064) - when running under virtualization, the acpi-cpufreq module wrote 'Domain attempted WRMSR' errors to the dmesg log. (BZ#488928) - NFS clients may have experienced deadlocks during unmount. (BZ#488929) - the ixgbe driver double counted the number of received bytes and packets. (BZ#489459) - the Wacom Intuos3 Lens Cursor device did not work correctly with the Wacom Intuos3 12x12 tablet. (BZ#489460) - on the Itanium® architecture, nanosleep() caused commands which used it, such as sleep and usleep, to sleep for one second more than expected. (BZ#490434) - a panic and corruption of slab cache data structures occurred on 64-bit PowerPC systems when clvmd was running. (BZ#491677) - the NONSTOP_TSC feature did not perform correctly on the Intel® microarchitecture (Nehalem) when running in 32-bit mode. (BZ#493356) - keyboards may not have functioned on IBM eServer System p machines after a certain point during installation or afterward. (BZ#494293) - using Device Mapper Multipathing with the qla2xxx driver resulted in frequent path failures. (BZ#495635) - if the hypervisor was booted with the dom0_max_vcpus parameter set to less than the actual number of CPUs in the system, and the cpuspeed service was started, the hypervisor could crash. (BZ#495931) - using Openswan to provide an IPsec virtual private network eventually resulted in a CPU soft lockup and a system crash. (BZ#496044) - it was possible for posix_locks_deadlock() to enter an infinite loop (under the BKL), causing a system hang. (BZ#496842) The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Facebook blocked Fox News commentator for NRA, Chick-fil-A references
posted at 8:41 pm on July 1, 2013 by Mary Katharine Ham
Gee, it's almost as if there's a pattern of basic conservative beliefs being labeled abusive or criminal in order to shove them out of the public square. Here's the status update that Facebook admitted got the account of Fox News radio's Todd Starnes suspended:
"I'm about as politically incorrect as you can get. I'm wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gather Vocal Band singing 'Jesus Saves' on the stereo and a Gideon's Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I'm politically incorrect and happy as a June bug."
Here's the back story via the Washington Post's media critic, Erik Wemple, whom I appreciate taking up this subject fairly:
According to Fox News Insider, that message got Starnes banned from Facebook. The site sent him this message: "We removed this from Facebook because it violates our Community Standards. So you're temporarily blocked from using this feature." A Facebook spokeswoman confirmed the blocking.
Those "Community Standards" are found right here. They outline 10 no-no areas for Facebook users: violence and threats, self-harm, bullying and harassment, hate speech, graphic content, nudity and pornography, identity and privacy, intellectual property, phishing and spam and security.
Unless Facebook covertly added another category — say, "conservative defiance" — The Erik Wemple Blog cannot ascertain which particular rule Starnes's post defied. After all, the commentator didn't say that he was sitting "naked in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair," complete with photograph of the scene. That would have violated the "nudity and pornography" prohibition. Nor did Starnes publish secret Chick-fil-A recipes, which could have put him in contravention of the "intellectual property" provision. And hey, if his post looked like "hate speech," well then our national dialogue is far less courteous than we thought.
Wemple points out another example of a hair-trigger Facebook banning he's covered, also of a conservative. "In that case, a clever and politically motivated fellow posted a catchy anti-Obama meme that proved popular on the Internet," he notes. Facebook reinstated that content, too.
With Starnes, Facebook admitted a mistake:
Facebook sent an apology to Starnes after an outcry from his fans and follow-up, Starnes said, saying it was a mistake.
"As our team processes hundreds of thousands of reports each week, we occasionally make a mistake. In this case, we mistakenly removed content from the Todd Starnes Page, and worked to rectify the mistake as soon as we were notified," Facebook's statement read.
It sounds like Starnes may be a victim of a coordinated flagging attack, in which liberals use the "flag objectionable content" capabilities of social media to get their political adversaries banned. Even if it doesn't last long, it's certainly a pain and a chilling effect.
High-traffic pages commonly kick up what Facebook calls "reports" from users — essentially, complaints that a possible violation of the "Community Standards" may have occurred. Such "reports" appear to have triggered a look at Starnes's post, then a block.
In the past, these attacks have been quite effective on Twitter. Both services need to be more careful with this kind of thing.

Sanchez admits guilt in triple fatal
Posted: Wednesday, Mar 20th, 2013
Anisa Montoya, Serina Sena, and Selena Mascarenas
Courier editor
PUEBLO — Gilbert Sanchez, 37, of Pueblo, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts of vehicular homicide-DUI, one for each of the three Alamosa teens he killed when his vehicle ran a red light and crashed into their car last April.
In tears for the first time, Sanchez admitted to Pueblo District Judge Larry Schwartz he was responsible for the deaths of Anisa Montoya, 18, Serina Sena, 14, and Selena Mascarenas, 14, on April 28, 2012. The Alamosa youth were leaving a church event when their car was hit by Sanchez's truck at Northern Ave. and Pueblo Blvd. in Pueblo.
Sanchez was scheduled to go to trial on April 2, nearly a year after the fatal crash. Instead, he pleaded guilty yesterday afternoon to felony vehicular homicide-driving under the influence as well as two counts of felony child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury to the two passengers in his vehicle who were injured in the crash. Nine other charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
The judge said Sanchez could be sentenced to as much as 68 years in prison if sentenced at the high end of the presumptive, or normal, range for each count and if the sentences run consecutively. Judge Schwartz scheduled sentencing for Friday, May 17 at 9 a.m., with the full day set aside for the sentencing hearing if necessary. Attorneys indicated the hearing would be comprised of both witness statements and evidence. The attorneys said they believed the sentencing hearing could be concluded in half a day but the judge scheduled the entire day to make sure there was plenty of time for those who wanted to speak before he passed down the sentences.
No promises were made to Sanchez as to what sentences he would receive except that as part of the plea agreement he would not be sentenced to more than the normal range for each of the charges to which he pleaded guilty on Wednesday.
The sentencing range for each of the vehicular homicide charges is 4-12 years in the Department of Corrections, and the sentencing range for each of the child abuse-causing serious bodily injury charges is 4-16 years.
Judge Schwartz said the sentences could also include fines and restitution. In addition, Sanchez would have mandatory parole following the completion of his sentences.
Sanchez, who has been free on bond, was taken into custody after Judge Schwartz took his plea yesterday. Sanchez's attorney, Deputy State Public Defender Seth Johnson asked for Sanchez to remain free on bond until sentencing so he could have more time to spend with his family before going to prison, probably for the rest of his life.
Assistant District Attorney Anthony Marzavas respectfully objected, and the judge agreed with Marzavas that due to the nature of the charges and potential sentence in this case Sanchez's bond should be revoked and he should be placed in custody until sentencing.
Judge Schwartz asked Marzavas if the victims' families were in agreement with the plea entered by Sanchez. Marzavas said he had had multiple conversations with the families and they indicated to him they were in agreement with the pleas.
Family members and friends of the three victims filled half of the courtroom on Wednesday. Many were wearing shirts with the girls' pictures on them. A member of the court security guard told the families the judge's policy would not allow them to wear "in memory" shirts in the courtroom, so they would have to go to the restroom and turn them inside out or wear coats or sweaters over them.
Before taking his plea yesterday, Judge Schwartz asked Sanchez numerous questions to make sure he was giving his plea voluntarily and with a knowledge of the rights he was giving up by taking a plea agreement, rather than going to trial. Those rights included a trial during which Sanchez could testify or not and the prosecution would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Sanchez was guilty. Those rights also included the ability to appeal a verdict, if convicted.
Sanchez repeatedly told the judge he was aware of the consequences of his plea and was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs on Wednesday, although he admitted to being under the influence of alcohol on the evening of the fatal crash.
Sanchez pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol on April 28, 2012, with his resulting conduct causing the deaths of Anisa Montoya, Serina Sena, and Selena Mascarenas.
He also pleaded guilty to child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury on April 28, 2012, to Jade Dorrance and Jordyn Carrillo, passengers in his truck that evening.
Sanchez told the judge he understood the elements of each charge, which the DA's office would have had to prove at trial.
When the judge asked Sanchez what happened on April 28, 2012, that caused him to plead guilty to these charges, Sanchez hesitated and conferred with his attorney as to what to answer. He then basically repeated the elements of the charges, telling the judge he was under the influence of alcohol while driving a vehicle and that he caused the deaths of Anisa Montoya, Serina Sena, and Selena Mascarenas and the injuries of Jade Dorrance and Jordyn Carrillo.
The judge then asked Sanchez what his plea was to each of the charges, with the judge repeating the specific charge. To each charge Sanchez verbally pleaded guilty. He had already signed a plea agreement admitting guilt.
Schwartz accepted Sanchez's guilty pleas and stated on the record he determined Sanchez entered his pleas voluntarily and with a full understanding of the consequences.
Charges dismissed as part of Sanchez's plea agreement were: felony vehicular homicide-driving in a reckless manner causing death, one count for each of the three Alamosa teens; felony vehicular assault-driving under the influence causing serious bodily injury, one count for each of his passengers; and felony vehicular assault-driving in a reckless manner causing serious bodily injury, one count for each of his passengers.

Finally, some high-quality photos from Chang'e 3!
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
Topics: pics of Earth by planetary missions, pretty pictures, pics of spacecraft in space, Earth, spacecraft, the Moon, Chang'E program
EDITED JANUARY 13: Three of the images have been replaced as noted below.
Once again, tips from helpful users at nasaspaceflight.com and from Twitter have led me to a new pile of photos from the Chang'e 3 mission. And these are the best-quality ones I've seen yet. Almost all of the images I've seen to date have been shared through a bizarre roundabout method of projecting them on a screen, then filming them with a video camera, then aired on television, and then screen-grabbed. These photos are different: they are clearly direct from the original digital data. They're still not perfect -- they have been downsampled, contrast-enhanced, watermarked, and JPEG-compressed -- but they're so, so much better than what I've seen before, rich with detail and nuanced in color. They were also accompanied by a little bit of information about when they were taken, which is great. Here's the trove of images.
This first one is really special:
Note: the Earth image has been replaced with a higher-resolution version since I first posted it.
And these panoramic 360 views around lander and rover are new:
Here, Phil Stooke has "unwrapped" the polar azimuthal view to make a more familiar-looking panorama:
Look, here's some science data! An ultraviolet view of Earth:
Note: the ultraviolet "image" that I had originally posted was a computer simulation. The image above is actual data.
We've seen these descent images before, but the detail is really nice here:
And finally, some lovely colorful landscape shots around the lander, of the rover, and images of the lander from the rover's survey.
Note: the image above has been replaced with a higher-resolution version since I first posted it.
I got most of the images from this slideshow. I don't recommend following that link, because the photo site also contains other photos I'd rather not have seen. I got the ultraviolet image from another slideshow that contained most of the same photos as the first slideshow, but at much worse JPEG compression.
The Sun should have risen at the landing site by now. Time to wake up, Chang'e 3!

Hi guys, I'm planning on purchasing a pair of JHA customs and will be sending in my impressions tomorrow. Currently I'm not considering any other brands simply because I have not heard them in person and am afraid of taking the risk in buying something that I may not enjoy. I heard the JH16 (demo) in a store quite recently.
With this being my first pair of customs, I don't know if I should just go all out. I'm afraid that I may not know how to appreciate them fully because my ears haven't been accustomed to lower-end customs. I'm also considering the JH11 but since the price difference is not a whole lot, I'm afraid it might come back to haunt me, even though I'm quite sure I'll be happy w the sound anyway. What do you guys think? I apologise if this thread seems ridiculous. I'm just really confused. :/
In the past I've owned (in order): UE Super.fi5 Pro, Shure SE215, Grado RS-1i, UE 700, UE TF10 Pro -> JH16?

Title | Latin American Liberation Theology: Did it Liberate? The Emergence and Development of Latin American Liberation Theology, Its Ability to Liberate, & Its Future |

Abstract | Liberation theology has now developed and evolved in Latin American for over four decades. It has had much influence in the events of the region and has moved thousands of people to let their voices be heard for a cause: the liberation of the poor and oppressed from unjust political, economic, and social subjugation. Despite this development, influence, and inspiration, the people of Latin America continue to struggle and have yet to be liberated like the children of Israel whom they strive to emulate. Struggles have not come to an end, and the ideal of liberation of the poor at the center of liberation theology has not been attained. Liberation theology responded to the real needs of the people and provided a reason to have hope and a source of inspiration. It encouraged community action for the first time and offered an opportunity to voice opinions and needs. Perhaps most importantly, it was the first time that the Catholic Church took on these real issues in any form. A lot has been learned from liberation theology, and it must continue to evolve. It is likely that Marxism's influence will continue to decrease, spirituality will become of greater focus and importance, and Protestant communities will continue to grow. |
