text: El Salón México Orchestral music 1932 to 1936 Orchestra Orchestral music The work is a musical depiction of an eponymous dance hall in Mexico City and even carries the subtitle, "A Popular Type Dance Hall in Mexico City." Copland began the work in 1932 and completed it in 1936. The Mexico Symphony Orchestra gave the first performance under the direction of Carlos Chávez (1937). The piece was premiered in the U.S. in 1938. Although Copland visited Mexico early in the 1930s, he based this tone poem not on songs he heard there, but rather on written sheet music for at least four Mexican folk songs that he had obtained: "El Palo Verde," "La Jesusita," "El Mosco," and "El Malacate." At least two arrangements of the piece exist in addition to the orchestral score. Copland adapted the work for the 1947 musical film Fiesta, directed by Richard Thorpe for MGM. Leonard Bernstein created arrangements for solo piano and for two pianos, four-hands very shortly after the premiere. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Salon_Mexico.

Novi Travnik was once known as the "Town of Youth." In 1949, Marshal Josip Broz Tito, Yugoslavia's Communist leader, wanted to turn his vision of an independent multi-ethnic Communist Yugoslav state of "brotherhood and unity" into bricks and mortar. It was a year after the split with Moscow, so Yugoslavia needed the means to defend itself.
To serve a new armaments factory, which he named "Bratstvo" (Brotherhood), he ordered the construction of a new town, called Novi (New) Travnik. To make it secure from potential invaders, the new town was located in a distant valley of Central Bosnia, 20 km from the historic town of Travnik. The new town was to become the embodiment of the socialist dream:
"From the first moment that the picks and shovels struck the hard ground," begins the factory's official history written in 1989,
"the voices of past times were overcome, Socialism and Self-management were born within my bosom; a time proud and new. Proud is what my favourite guest and friend was, too: Josip Broz Tito. When he came to see me, I turned into a town of youth, and that's what they named me."
Bratstvo factory gates
Qualified workers came from all over Yugoslavia to build the town and to work in the factory Bratstvo. At its height, 7,000 workers produced cannons, rocket launchers, other military equipment and tractors. Wages were among the highest in the country. The municipality was multi-ethnic in 1991 37 % were Croats, 38% Bosniaks, and 13% Serbs. A big part of the remainder declared themselves to be Yugoslavs the strongest believers in Tito's multi-ethnic vision.
Novi Travnik in the 1950's
The socialist poet Mladen Oljaca wrote in 1960:
"This is a town without grey hairs. There are no pensioners. This is a town without beggars and unemployed. This is a town without churches and mosques, without differences in faith."
No religious buildings were included in the original plan for Novi Travnik. All the other essential facilities for the town's working class were provided: a house of culture, hospitals, kindergartens, and schools. The German geographer Herbert Büschenfeld has written:
"Novi Travnik is the exponent of the `socialist town´ of the Soviet type, probably the most explicit example of this type in Yugoslavia."
(Herbert Büschenfeld, Jugoslawien, Klett, 1981, p. 245)
The export markets for Bratstvo's products included Libya, Egypt, India and many African countries. Tractors went for example to Ghana. The customers of weapons were mostly non-aligned countries, allies of Yugoslavia. Of particular importance were big orders from Iraq during the late 1970s and the 1980s. A new hotel, Hotel Novi Travnik, was specially built for guests from the oil-rich countries of the non-aligned bloc. In the 1980s Iraqi inhabitants were a part of the town's social life.
Mirjana Mehicic
The life-style in pre-war Novi Travnik was good, recalls Mirjana Mehicic. She was born and grew up in the town. Her parents had come from Serbia to work at the factory. Her husband, a Bosniak, was also employed in the factory when they first met:
"Novi Travnik was a real town. We are longing for the Novi Travnik which was once a centre of culture and fashion. We had many cultural events here. We had a discotheque "Monaco" it was known all over Bosnia and Herzegovina. We were in love, we saw life positively."
Hotel Novi Travnik in 2003
But by the 1980's the original reason for the town's construction, Bratstvo, was getting into troubles. "Even without a war, this industry would have collapsed," says Zeljko Rados, the local head of the Privatisation Agency: "We lost markets. The East no longer needed these types of weapons. Then came the fall of the Soviet Union."
When the war broke out in 1992, the factory made the town a target. The Yugoslav Air Force bombed the Bratstvo factory and destroyed large parts of the production complex. The conflict between Croats and Bosniaks divided the town literally in half. In the fighting, several hundred people died.
At the end of the war the town was still divided. The Bratstvo factory was on the Bosniak side of the town. But the old secure domestic arms market for the Yugoslav National Army had gone. Exports were impossible. De-industrialisation, an overall Bosnian post-war phenomenon, hit Novi Travnik particularly hard. By 2006 only 3 percent of Bratstvo's pre-war capacity was in use. Of the 1,500 people officially on the payroll, around 850 came to work, but only half of them actually received regular salaries.

Workers leaving the factory
The collapse of the factory has devastated the town. Nowadays only about 3,000 citizens in Novi Travnik have regular jobs. Many young people have left Novi Travnik, Tito's Town of Youth, for better opportunities elsewhere. For those that remain, there are major social problems. Drug abuse is one such problem. Mario Lucic from the youth organisation Galerija says:
"It is a fact that many young people, and not only young people, I know a lot of older people consuming drugs…"
As one very young drug addict told us anonymously:
"There are many drug addicts here at our place. … Because people have no work, no employment, they have nothing … there is too much [drugs] here. Drugs are causing havoc throughout Bosnia. … Most of them want to forget their problems here. To find relief. I know that is not right, but …we constantly try, to let it be the last time. But in the end we are disappointed and … I know that I should not seek comfort this way".
Mirjana Mehicichas worked at the Centre for Social Aid in Novi Travnik for 24 years and now is its director. She and her six colleagues try to address the town's growing social needs, which are caused by unemployment, poverty and old age, and the consequences of the war. "Despite the lack of staff and funding, we try to do our best", says Mirjana. Only 65 households receive monthly social assistance payments in a municipality with an estimated 25,000 inhabitants. Every day 20 people come to beg for assistance, Mirjana says,
"we support them as much as we can, but due to limited resources many of those have to be turned down".
View of the centre of Novi Travnik
Unlike booming Vitez, which was also bitterly split during the war, there is no common vision in Novi Travnik today about its future. Mario Lucic, from Galerija says:
"Urban-minded people have all left. A lot of people from the villages have come to town. They think in strictly national terms. … I don't see how this will ever change. The parents are under the influence of the national parties, and the children are under the influence of the parents. And the school only reinforces the national divisions."
Mario Lucic
And unlike Vitez, which is located on a main road, Novi Travnik's remote location the very reason the site was selected by Tito is likely to be the cause of its continuing decline. "We were in a hole, at the end of a dead-end road," says Mirjana. "Only now a new road to Bugojno has opened."
Marijo Lucic adds:
"All young people who want to make something of their lives go abroad, or stay abroad if they've already left. We have no qualified, creative, young people here. I am afraid that Novi Travnik will become a town of old people."

This is lame. And unfortunately it reinforces earlier concerns.
LJI has the docs.
All governmental bodies that spend more than $10,000 a year are supposed to file financial disclosure forms. The Ethics Review Board requested an advisory opinion from the Louisiana Board of Ethics seeking an exemption.
The Louisiana Board of Ethics ruled(pdf) that members of the ERB are exempt from filing financial disclosure reports based on the premise, supplied by Rev. Kevin Wildes, that the ERB's spending decisions must be approved by the City of New Orleans' CAO, Brenda Hatfield.
Is it even true that all spending decisions by the Ethics Review Board must be approved by the CAO?
Wasn't the Ethics Review Board allocated $300,000 in both 2008 and 2009?
Yup. It's true(pdf, page 350).
This doesn't make me happy.
A legitimate Ethics Review Board is a must if we want a legitimate Office of Inspector General.
This whole thing is a serious mess and a serious disappointment.
The only solution that makes sense to me right now is to totally restructure the Ethics Review Board so that it has some legitimacy with the public.

I'm sorry but your comments are complete bs.
Get to the point: there is a move afoot with heavy, heavy rotation and effort by the machine atheir organ wbok to eliminate the review board and the IG.
Watch the ball: there will be indictments on the tech contracts based on the IG's report and there is a massive out-the-door contract boondoggle in waiting in the form of the airport sale, and this whole thing is an attempt to discredit the IG's office and its credibility.
The "sins" of the IG & ERB amount to Moody and Odom getting left in charge of the shop. Now that is unforgiveable but enough of giving credence to this slander campaign.

Slander campaign? If the Ethics Review Commission tried to get itself exempted from the state Ethics laws, as the documents suggest, I wouldn't call that slander, I'd call it a bad faith of the highest order.
In slander, truth is an absolute defense, and from the documents it looks like the Ethics Commission did try to get itself exempted, based on a false assumption, and that itself is UNETHICAL by any standard.

I like this comment - I'm not an authority on the backbiting going on at the OIG and ERB - but I don't just immediately dismiss everything that's said on WBOK just because. I think a couple things can be true at once.
"there will be indictments on the tech contracts based on the IG's report and there is a massive out-the-door contract boondoggle in waiting in the form of the airport sale"
I think this is true and speaks volumes about the need for a strong OIG. But might it also be true that the ERB is poorly structured and that the OIG has basically been undermined. I have no problem to heaping most of the blame on Mr. Odom but I'm reticent to blame him for all of it.
I don't think the OIG or the ERB are at risk of being eliminated. I do think their credibility is at risk. I think that's a problem that needs to be solved perhaps starting with an examination of what goes on at the ERB and OIG.

It's entirely possible that both the sides in this issue are corrupt. It's not a matter of if you take a stance against the ERB that you are for city corruption. It's hardly a two-sided black and white kind of world.
The ERB needs to be held to just as standards as the political machines they are designed to keep in check, I don't that's too much to ask for.

The mess with the OIG & the ERB really started from the push in early 2008 by uber-supporters of the OIG/ERB for the inspector general to overstep the boundaries of the current City Charter and control various parts of city government.
This began the slippery slope that the OIG/ERB has traveled down, that ended with the "September Massacre". The LJI's findings concerning the exemption is only the hypocritical cherry on top of a already sour cake.
Eli's statements on 9/22/09 referencing the socioracialeconomic issues that are the foundation of discord in New Orleans are just the foreword to the true story of the battles that have been/are crippling this city.

Papa Bear, which various parts of city government has the inspector general tried to control? Was this just the intent of the supporters, or have any of the IG's to date attempted to use this control?
What has the OIG or ERB done since then to travel down a slippery slope?
I'm not arguing with you. I'm just not familiar with what you're talking about, and this discussion interests me.

for most of 2008 Whenever Mayor Nagin did something wrong, the supporters of the OIG office not only wanted a investigation but made statements that they wanted the IG to oversee various aspects of city government.
Cerosoli & Odom pushed the outside statements to the side, but the new guy's declaration that he would start scanning the businesses that are applying for city contracts has started worries that businesses that are startups may not qualify for opportunities that can make them big time.
I'll rephrase that the OIG/ERB weren't the ones that lead the charge down the slope, but they are part of the ride whether they want to or not.

Fair enough, Papa Bear. I understand that concern.
But it's been pretty clear that the problems with contracts in the current administration are not the small tasks given to small local businesses. The problem are the massive giveaways to the large national firms sucking at the City's teat -- Ciber, HSOA, MWH, etc., as well as the obvious self-dealing in the technology department. I honestly think that's where the new IG will focus his efforts.
That story might be different if these "start-ups" are just new companies formed by political insiders or long-time City vendors.
If the NAACP or anyone else wants to have an honest discussion on exactly how Ed Q. meant when he said he wanted to monitor contracts, I'm all for it. But instead the discussion remains at the dishonest level of exposing Cerasoli's purchase of too many computers as a reason to shut down the office.

MOUNT PROSPECT, IL — Among sports participants age 7 and older, females make up the majority in four of six activities surveyed in 2006 by the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA), according to data in the NSGA Sports Participation reports released in June. Females make up 71 percent of those who do aerobic exercise, 60 percent of those who do exercise walking, 56 percent who work out at a health club and 51 percent who use exercise equipment.
Females rank slightly lower in more prominent exercise methods such as running/jogging (48 percent) and weightlifting (35 percent). Females do rank higher in sports such as cheerleading (94 percent), volleyball (56 percent), swimming (55 percent) and tennis (53 percent).
Walking drew the largest number of females (52.4 million), followed by swimming (28.6 million) and those who used exercise equipment (28 million).
The 20,000 U.S.-household survey was based on a two-part participation report. The study represented sports participants age 7 and older who do at least one sport more than once a year.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - The MIT Engineers and the Coast Guard Bears split an afternoon conference doubleheader rescheduled from Saturday. After dropping their third straight game with a 5-0 loss in game one, the Engineers slugged 15 hits en route to a 13-3 victory in game two.
Mike Jarbeau (5-1) threw a gem for the Bears (12-11, 3-4) in picking up the game one win. MIT (10-5, 3-2) was shutout for just the fourth time in the last three seasons as Jarbeau scattered five hits, while allowing no walks and striking out a season-high 10 MIT batters. Jarbeau also extended his scoreless streak to 15 innings.
Aaron Renschler gave Jarbeau all the support he would need with a solo homer in the second, while RBI hits by Chuck Arena and Christian George in the fifth extended the lead to 4-0. The Bears added an unearned run in the sixth to close the scoring.
Wayne Duggan (2-2) worked five innings and allowed nine hits and four runs, all earned while walking none and striking out three. Warren Bates and Kyle Zeller each doubled in the loss.
In game two, MIT jumped out to the 4-0 lead and never trailed as Jay Turner (2-1) worked 6 1/3 innings allowing seven hits and three runs en route to the win. Freshman David Nole keyed the first inning outburst with a three-run homerun; the first of his MIT career.
Duggan supplied the offense with three hits and two runs batted in, including his second homerun in three games.
Kevin Wheeler added three hits and a homerun and was plated three times, while Zeller collected two runs batted in on three hits.
The Bears' Arena had two more hits including a double in the second game to extend his school-record hitting streak to 24 games dating back to last season. Will Becker (3-3) started for Coast Guard and went six innings allowing seven hits and six runs.

Apple Design Teams Get Cozier
Last October Apple announced a management shake-up designed to increase collaboration across its different divisions. Sure enough, some walls have come down, though many others remain.
One of the biggest areas of change has been design.
For years, even the esteemed designers of Apple's mobile iOS operating system, were cut out of the loop on specifics related to new mobile devices their software would be running on, according to several people familiar with Apple's process. Apple's industrial design team, led by Jonathan Ive, tapped its own stealth group of software developers to help with prototypes.
That dynamic is changing, according to the people close to the company. The stealth software developers still exist. But now, Apple's mobile software, or "human interface" team, which has been led by executive Greg Christie, is being briefed about industrial prototypes earlier, these people said. The person described the change as "a thawing."
Ive, who is well-known for his sleek, iconic hardware designs, now sits in on the human interface team's regular review sessions to vet new designs, these people said. While he and Christie, known as a blunt talker, have very different styles, the people familiar with the process described the sessions as "pleasant and cordial."
Some suggested that in Apple's next mobile operating system, Ive is pushing a more "flat design" that is starker and simpler, according to developers who have spoken to Apple employees but didn't have further details. Overall, they expect any changes to be pretty conservative. For the past few years, Apple has unveiled versions of its mobile operating system in the summer.
Design is one example of the increased "collaboration across hardware, software and services" that Apple said it was aiming for when Cook pushed senior vice president and mobile software chief Scott Forstall out of the company last year.
The move united Apple's Mac and iOS software teams under senior vice president Craig Federighi. Change in that new group is happening slowly.
Federighi has indicated to some employees that he plans to keep the Mac and iOS engineering teams separate for now, one of the people said. There is lots of overlap between the two groups, such as two teams working on calendar software; whether the two would be combined after Federighi took over both was a big question among employees in the division, the people close to the company say. One of the people said that some employees are expecting further reorganization of the two groups this summer.
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment.

Rehomed by the pound
Hi I am enquiring about the dog you had listed in April 2014, Jess pretty mastiff type. Did this dog get re-homed. She was originally my ex-boyfriend's dog and he re-homed her. She allegedly went to a couple, but I do not know names, addresses, as my ex dealt with the rehoming, I had nothing to do with it. I am deeply saddened to see she ended up on a re-homing site. I would just like to know she is being loved and cared for and she is such a lovely dog and I miss her terribly.
I very much look forward to hearing from you.
Hi I am really sorry but we don't help this pound you are best messaging greenowl30 who does help this pound to see if she can find anything about this dogs new owners :)

Jennifer Nettles Thanks Fans, Friends for Pregnancy Well-Wishes
In case you missed Jennifer Nettles' good news this week, it's that she and her husband of seven months, Justin Miller, are expecting their first child. Fans and country music industry peeps poured out their congratulations to the couple after the Sugarland star's manager shared the good news on Monday.
Upon hearing all of the good wishes, Nettles took to her personal Twitter account to express her gratitude.
"Thanks for all the love and well wishes from fans, friends, radio friends and industry friends! Y'all are the best and so supportive! Love!" she tweeted to her 26K followers.
We're not sure how Nettles even has enough time to be pregnant, but we wish her all the best. This summer, the 37-year-old country star and her duo partner Kristian Bush are booked solid with live performances. Not to mention the fact that Nettles has been busy filming (and leading) ABC's newest reality-based singing competition, 'Duets.'
Still, every time we see Nettles — who is due in November — she's all smiles. And now we know why. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Miller on the first addition to their family!


text: California Officials Cut Water Delivery as Drought Deepens January 31, 2014 10:19 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email Officials in drought-stricken California said that for the first time in state history, they won't be able to provide any water to contractors that supply two-thirds of the population and a million acres of farmland. The California Department of Water Resources, which earlier predicted it would supply about 5 percent of the amount requested, said today it now projects that it won't be able to deliver any of the 4 million acre-feet of water sought by local agencies. An acre-foot is the volume needed to cover an acre of land one foot deep with water. The reduction means that agencies will have to rely on existing supplies such as ground water or what is in storage behind dams. The Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District, serving 19 million people in Southern California, and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, which supplies much of the Bay Area, have built up water reserves. "This isn't a coming crisis," said Mark Cowin, director of the Water Resources Department, the state's largest supplier. "This isn't an evolving crisis. This is a current crisis." Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought emergency Jan. 17 in the most populous U.S. state after three years of below- average rainfall, including the driest year on record, left some reservoirs and rivers at critical levels. He asked residents and businesses to voluntarily cut use by 20 percent and warned that mandatory restrictions may follow. 'Stark Reminder' "Today's action is a stark reminder that California's drought is real," Brown said today in a statement. "We're taking every possible step to prepare the state for the continuing dry conditions we face." Brown ordered the Forestry and Fire Protection Department, known as CalFire, to hire more firefighters because of drought conditions. The Public Health Department offered assistance to 17 rural communities with what it called "vulnerable" drinking water systems, and the Fish and Wildlife Department restricted fishing in some areas because of low water flows. A small amount of water must be held back in reservoirs to protect the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, an ecologically sensitive confluence of two rivers that feed into San Francisco Bay. The reserve is needed to keep salt water from seeping in and damaging the water supply, officials said. Reservoirs, Aqueducts About two-thirds of Californians get at least part of their water from northern mountain rains and snow through a network of reservoirs and aqueducts known as the State Water Project, according to the Water Resources Department. Besides serving households and businesses, The system irrigates crops in the San Joaquin Valley near the center of the state -- the world's most productive agricultural region. "Except for a small amount of carryover water from 2013, customers of the State Water Project will get no deliveries in 2014 if current dry conditions persist and deliveries to agricultural districts with long-standing water rights in the Sacramento Valley may be cut 50 percent -- the maximum permitted by contract -- depending upon future snow survey results," according to a statement by the Water Resources Department. The projection could change if more rain falls in coming weeks, officials said. But the drought has grown so severe, it would have to rain heavily every day through May to get water levels back to normal, they said. Agriculture Threatened The drought in California, the top U.S. agricultural producer at $44.7 billion, is depriving the state of water needed to produce everything from milk, beef and wine to some of the nation's largest fruit and vegetable crops, including avocados, strawberries and almonds. Lost revenue in 2014 from farming and related businesses such as trucking and processing could reach $5 billion, according to estimates by the 300-member California Farm Water Coalition, an industry group. Today's announcement in Sacramento came one day after the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California said it would ask customers to voluntarily reduce water use by 20 percent. The abnormally low precipitation is likely to depress revenue for the district and other local agencies, Moody's Investors Service said in a Dec. 5 note. Metropolitan, the largest U.S. supplier of treated water, is rated Aa1, second- highest, the company said. It had $4.4 billion in long-term debt as of June 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Back to news

FULLERTON, Lynn Wagenet: The Register's Editorial Board is wrong on two points ["GOP's inner libertarian," Editorials, March 24].
|MCT Illustration
First, if the Republicans "changed their tone on … personal freedom issues like gay marriage," they might gain some support from libertarians but only at the expense of losing support from social conservatives. We might see the Tea Party solidifying into a separate new party, rather than just a faction of the Republican Party. So rather than strengthen the Republicans against the Democrats, we would be worse off.
Secondly, the editorial fails to mention the evidence that government does have a vested interest in preserving traditional marriage, as has been recognized even by some liberals.
Marriage is much more than just a loving relationship between two people, as has been made evident by thoughtful research. The Proposition 8 defense team will be presenting much of this research to the Supreme Court this week.
Failed Eurozone
SAN CLEMENTE, Lawrence S. Wach: I wonder when the member nations of the European Union will grow up and realize that their grand plan was doomed all along to failure ["Cyprus and its financiers agree to bailout plan," News, March 25]?
This megalomaniacal group of unelected socialists has utterly failed at uniting a historically and economically divided continent under the guise of "democracy." The British were smart and kept their own currency, but the whole mess is going to collapse, and, in my opinion, the sooner the better. I feel sorry for the citizens in Cyprus who have to weather this latest storm with the ill-fated euro.
This misguided notion of a "one-world government" needs to be stopped now. The Eurozone proves why it cannot work.
Santa Ana's schools
ORANGE, Anne Hughes: There was an interesting juxtaposition on Saturday's front page of two contrasting stories about education and what makes it effective ["Behavior breakdown at Santa Ana Unified campus was ignored, teachers charge," and "From a shack to medical career"].
The severe discipline problems at Spurgeon Intermediate School in Santa Ana were described in graphic contrast to the success story of P.K. Fonsworth, a medical student at UC Irvine, who overcame poverty and life in a shack to graduate with multiple degrees. The woman who raised Fonsworth had a mantra: "Opportunity is education." She made every effort to support his goals.
The teachers at Spurgeon Intermediate cannot teach in the hostile environment that includes smoking marijuana in class, spitting on teachers and setting fires in the restrooms. Teachers can only do their job if the administration gives its full support and if the parents instill a sense of respect and responsibility in their children.
Santa Ana Unified has an educational imperative to act quickly and decisively to address the problems at Spurgeon. Every day without educational opportunity is a day lost for the future of our youth.
SANTA ANA, Jack Dean: I'm flabbergasted by the article on Spurgeon Intermediate School. A family friend taught English there in the 1990s. She said she was groped, and her tires were cut by thugs passing for students at that school.
Why is it the teachers' fault or even the district's problem? Where do the parents fit in here? If parents disciplined their children at a young age, there would be a little respect instilled in these kids. Sadly, parents of these students don't appear to be doing their jobs.
We, the taxpayers, are expected to fund these schools, feed these kids, and, now, we're running a baby-sitting service. It is the teachers' job to teach the material, not raise and discipline your kids for you. It used to be that the kid who didn't feel like learning or doing anything simply sat in the back of the classroom and would be quiet. That's not good enough anymore.
Plastic hypocrisy
TRABUCO CANYON, Linda Anderson: Has anyone ever stopped to wonder what other plastic items Huntington Beach could eliminate, in addition to plastic bags, to save the environment ["Reusable bag ordinance gets first approval from council," Local, March 21]?
Disposable diapers, used by babies and adults alike, are made of virtually the same plastic. There are millions thrown away each and every day. I can't believe it when I see hypocrites standing in line purchasing their disposable diapers all the while using their very own reusable bags to put them in.
Soiled disposable diapers stay in the landfills for years – more years than anyone cares to imagine. My own son's 36-year-old diapers are probably still there, taking up room and contaminating the ground. However, disposable diapers are convenient. No one has to wash them by hand or put them through a wringer-type washer like our grandmothers once did. But banning them would be good for the environment – just like banning those millions of plastic bags.
If Huntington Beach, or any city, is very serious about the environment, it can enact a law to ban disposable diapers and begin using cloth diapers again. Consumers, too, should put their money where their mouth is.
Perhaps I ought to research who manufactures cloth diapers and invest in them. Sooner or later cities may find a way to get rid of them, too, while ignoring some other plastic product that pollutes the environment. It's only a matter of time.
Muddled Mideast
ORANGE, Leonard Musgrave: I wonder if President Barack Obama thinks he is Santa Claus ["Obama's missed Mideast opportunity," Letters, March 25].
His administration has given Egypt $200 million along with 20 F-16 jets and 40 Abrams tanks. Obama has also reconfirmed our financial support to Israel, one of the richest countries in the world. Obama has also pledged $200 million to Jordan.
This is money we don't have and must be borrowed. It should be spent here on reducing the deficit. Many of the leaders of each of these countries, both past and present, have stolen most of the money we have given their nations. President Obama needs to check out the Swiss bank accounts of these leaders before any more money is sent.
LAGUNA HILLS, William C. Kohler: What type of idiocy is it that Congress, with full support and urging of President Barack Obama, feels that it is more important to fund the Islamic world with millions of our tax dollars?
The money that was shipped off to Egypt alone could have funded all the airport traffic tower closures plus keeping the White House open to the owners of the building, citizens of this country, for all eternity.
Peace in the Mideast?
LAGUNA WOODS, Stanley Schleider: Why have political advisers not alerted President Barack Obama that talks of peace with regard to Israel and its neighbors are fruitless?
There will never be peace in the area until all countries and groups operating there agree that Israel has a right to exist. This would be in accordance with the Oslo Accords. This must be a cornerstone of our policy.

WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 14 (UPI) -- The wife and son of a man who shot his former daughter-in-law and her friend in a Delaware courthouse are suspected of being involved, court documents show.
Thomas Matusiewicz took his own life Monday in the New Castle County Courthouse in Wilmington after ambushing Christine Belford, his son's ex-wife. A hearing was scheduled on David Matusiewicz's failure to pay child support.
A search warrant affidavit for Matusiewicz's home in Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas shows authorities were looking for evidence David and Lenore Matusiewicz knew of Thomas's plans, The (Wilmington) News Journal reported.
The affidavit also revealed new details about the shooting. It said Matusiewicz hugged his son before David passed through the courthouse security checkpoint.
Police found two handwritten "death certificates" after Matusiewicz's suicide, one for Belford and another for her attorney, Timothy Hitchings.
David Matusiewicz kidnapped his three daughters in 2007. He was found in Nicaragua with the girls and his mother and pleaded guilty to the abduction and to forging Belford's signature to a document to obtain a loan before his departure.
Lenore Matusiewicz, in an interview with WPVI-TV in Philadelphia, said she and David had no knowledge of her husband's plans. She and her son served prison terms for the kidnappings.
"I wish I had known, maybe I could have done something to stop it," she said.
Amy Gonzalez, Matusiewicz's daughter, said her father had a brain tumor.
"I know he was trying to do what was best for the family. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right way," she told the News Journal.
Laura "Beth" Mulford was also killed. Two court officers who responded to the gunfire were wounded.
David Matusiewicz is now in federal custody on a charge of probation violation. A detention hearing is set for Friday in Wilmington.
Authorities have not released any information on who is caring for Belford's daughters.

So it may come as a bit of a surprise to some people, but I'm a pretty big reader. I read everything I can get my hands on: books, magazines, The Huffington Post, The L.A./N.Y. Times & other music blogs. One blog that I try to read daily is Heather Browne's Fuel Friends Blog. I can't tell you how many new artists I have discovered by simply reading this fantastic blog. I do, however, have to take issue with something she recently wrote & while it may seem like an innocuous statement, I found it to be quite hyperbolic & pretty much baseless.
Josh Ritter is one of the most important songwriters of our generation, consistently producing breathtaking songs that are rife with symbolism, rich with meaning, and brimming over with the kind of heart that I want to have.
Most important songwriter's of our generation? Really? Josh Ritter is a fantastic writer who regularly puts out great music, but most important of our generation? Not even close. He's not even that well known. I do think he's talented, but as far as his importance to music…I can't understand how he is remotely important. He's not standing up for anything, speaking out against injustices or even bringing something new to the table.
Important songwriters of our generation (I guess that's applying to Generation X) would be more like Billie Joe from Green Day, whether you like his music or not with American Idiot he said some pretty unpopular things to many people & received quite the backlash for standing on principle. Another would be Jeff Tweedy who revolutionized the alt-country genre twice with Uncle Tupelo & then Wilco. Ryan Adams has such an amazing body of talented work that he is a better example of one the most talented writers of our generation.
This is the problem with today's over-saturation of music. It used to be that everybody knew pretty much who everybody was, but now with everybody being slotted nicely into their own little groups, labels like, "greatest songwriter of our generation" are just tossed around without so much as a thought.
I contend that Josh Ritter is not very important at all. If he stopped writing music, sure it would suck, but would the world be that much worse off? Think about how shitty music has been since Ryan Adams decided to get married & be happy. Elliot Smith, who again I'm not a huge fan of, was one of the most important songwriter's of our generation & that is prevalent in the number of artist's who try to emulate his sound.
I find it slightly irresponsible to be so hyperbolic & I'm pretty surprised that someone usually so spot on with her exclamations would just spout off like that. It's not innocuous, it's not small, this our music, this is important to many of us who believe that this is a renaissance in music much like the '60's was the evolution. I love Heather's blog, she is extremely knowledgeable in regards to music, but in this case just flat out wrong.

Santa Cruz County Bank was awarded the "Superior" 5 star rating from Bauer FinancialMarch 20, 2008
Santa Cruz Sentinel
Stresses from the mortgage crisis are beginning to show in bank operations.
Some 166 banks -- about 2 percent of the 8,525 reviewed -- ended up on the "problem list" of Bauer Financial in the fourth quarter of 2007.
That compares to 108 on Bauer's problem list in the third quarter.
The number of banks rated "middle of the road," earning three or three and a half stars from Bauer, grew from 1,739 to 1,964, increasing from 20 percent to 23 percent. However, 71 percent of the banks rated remain on Bauer's recommended list.
Those banks have a rating of four or five stars.
"That gives consumers over 6,000 recommended banks to choose from," said Karen Dorway, president of Bauer Financial, which has been rating banks and credit unions since 1983.
She said the primary factors in the rating are capital, asset quality, profitability, liquidity and historical data. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which protects bank deposits up to $100,000, reported 77 banks on its "problem list" in 2007, up from 26 in 2006.
During the fourth quarter, the FDIC increased the funds set aside for anticipated bank failures from $54 million to $124 million due to "deterioration in banking industry financial conditions," according to chief financial officer Steven App. "Current market volatility may continue to hurt the performance of institutions with significant exposure to the resident mortgage market -- especially those mortgage lenders that relied heavily on the 'originate and sell' business model," he told the FDIC board last month.
Credit unions are not suffering as much from mortgage problems, according to Bauer Financial.
More than 6,000 credit unions are recommended by Bauer, representing 86 percent of the 7,022 institutions reviewed.
In the third quarter, 87 percent were recommended. About 12 percent of the credit unions are rated middle of the road and 2 percent are on the problem list.
Bay Federal Credit Union will report financials to members at its annual meeting Tuesday. Spokeswoman Tonee Picard said assets grew 13 percent and the mortgage loan portfolio grew by 41 percent in 2007, with one foreclosure in 2007 and none so far in 2008.
"Bay Federal did not make risky subprime loans in past years," Picard said. "Our portfolio is not filled with the high risk loans you read about from many financial institutions." Of the banks and credit unions with local offices: Bank of America slipped from four stars to three and a half stars. Citibank slipped from three and a half stars to three stars. Liberty Bank, which has offices in San Lorenzo Valley, dropped from five stars to three stars. Watsonville Hospital Employees Credit Union slipped from five stars to four stars.
Santa Cruz County Bank improved from four to five stars. Start-ups like Lighthouse Bank aren't rated until there are two years of financial data to analyze.
Dorway said Bauer does not rate credit unions that do not have federal deposit insurance.
Monterey Credit Union is in that category, with assets up to $500,000 insured by American Share Insurance rather than being federally insured.
A spokesman at Citibank referred questions about the rating to Bauer, saying the service is independent and uses its own criteria.

In the Matter of
|ORDER INSTITUTING PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT TO SECTION 15(b) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, MAKING FINDINGS AND IMPOSING REMEDIAL SANCTIONS
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it appropriate and in the public interest that public administrative proceedings be and they hereby are instituted against Lyndell F. Parks ("Respondent" or "Parks") pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In anticipation of the institution of these administrative proceedings, Parks has submitted an Offer of Settlement ("Offer") which the Commission has determined to accept. Solely for the purpose of these proceedings and any other proceedings brought by or on behalf of the Commission or to which the Commission is a party, Parks, without admitting or denying the findings herein, except as to the Commission's jurisdiction over him and over the subject matter of these proceedings as to Paragraphs III.A. and III.B. below, which Respondent admits, Respondent consents to entry of this Order Instituting Public Administrative Proceedings pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions ("Order").
On the basis of this Order and the Respondent's Offer, the Commission makes the following findings:
A. Respondent, during all times relevant hereto, was a registered representative associated with Strategic Investments, Inc. ("Strategic Investments"), a broker-dealer registered with the Commission.
B. On April 17, 2002, by Parks' consent, a Final Judgment of Permanent Injunction and other Equitable Relief ("Final Judgment") was entered against Parks by the United States District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Springfield Division, in an action styled Securities and Exchange Commission v. Wayne F. Gorsek, Lyndell Parks, P. Brenden Gebben and Troy Justus, 99 CV 3072 (JES), which permanently restrains and enjoins Parks from violating Sections 17(a) and 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), Section 10 (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and Exchange Act Rule 10b-5.
C. The Commission's Complaint alleged that Parks participated in a fraudulent touting scheme to artificially inflate the prices of approximately twenty microcap companies through Strategic Investment Advisory ("SIA"), an Illinois-based stock promoter, and a related broker-dealer, Strategic Investments. The Complaint alleged that pursuant to this scheme, Parks and others deceived investors into believing that SIA was an independent securities research firm that provided objective investment advice about "undiscovered" companies. In fact -- the Complaint alleged -- SIA was merely a paid stock promotion firm that publicly recommended securities in exchange for lucrative compensation agreements with the issuers of the subject securities. The Complaint further alleged that as a registered representative at Strategic Investments, Parks defrauded brokerage customers of Strategic Investments by recommending and selling highly-speculative microcap stocks of SIA's issuer-clients to them without disclosing that SIA received cash and securities from the issuers of those securities. The Complaint alleged that in furtherance of the scheme, Parks provided Strategic Investments' brokerage customers with SIA's mock research reports and other false and misleading information.
Based on the foregoing, the Commission deems it appropriate and in the public interest to accept Parks' Offer.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Respondent Parks be, and hereby is, barred from association with any broker or dealer.
By the Commission.

Background & External Links
My blog is Decimation & Reconstruction, an ecclectic mishmash of opinions on nearly everything.
I am a layman in the Orthodox Church in America. My membership is with St. Athanasius mission in Nicholasville, KY. I am also a Sailor, a Petty Officer Third Class in the U. S. Navy, currently assigned to USS Jacksonville (SSN 699). I attend services at St. Nicholas Orthodox Church (Greek Archdiocese) most often, but I have been known to pop in to Holy Trinity Orthodox Church, cathedral of the New England diocese (Orthodox Church in America).
I graduated with a degree in Philosophy from Asbury College in Wilmore, KY. After service in the Navy, I plan to continue my schooling, perhaps with seminary, should the Lord smile on such plans.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – No. 44 Yale finished its 2010 season with a 16-6 record and a 5-2 record in the Ivy League to finish third in the Ivy standings.
Yale won the ECAC Championships and peaked with an ITA national ranking of No. 24, Yale's highest ranking ever. The Bulldogs won matches over six ranked opponents during the season.
All six of Yale's loses came against highly ranked opponents, including at No. 1 Duke on Jan. 30. Yale's wins over ranked opponents included wins against No. 61 Boston University, No. 39 Wake Forest, No. 62 Harvard, No. 32 William & Mary, No. 53 Dartmouth and No. 58 Brown.
Yale's ECAC Championship victory was impressive, with seven out of eight Ivy League teams competing in the tournament. The Bulldogs defeated Boston University 6-1 in the first round. Yale then rolled to a 6-1 victory over Harvard in the semifinals. The Bulldogs shut Dartmouth out 4-0 to clinch the tournament victory.
Individually, Yale players excelled during the season as well. During the fall, three members of the team participated in the ITA National Indoor Championships hosted at Yale's Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center. Sophomore Stephanie Kent pushed her opponent to her limits when she lost a three-setter to the No. 8 seeded player in the tournament. Kent won a consolation match over Auburn's Fani Chifchieva. Senior Jessica Rhee also participated in the singles draw, and sophomore Vicky Brook teamed up with Kent to play in the doubles draw.
Brook earned a unanimous first team All-Ivy singles selection after posting a 17-4 spring record and a 5-1 record in the Ivy League. Rhee earned a second team All-Ivy singles selection with a 6-1 Ivy League record. Brook and junior Lindsay Clark were named second team All-Ivy Doubles.
Stevi Petrelli, a rising senior from Harrison, N.Y., was elected to succeed Sarah Lederhandler as captain next year.

Teak is one of the strongest and most durable of all woods, which is why it is a favorite with furniture makers. Unlike most other woods, teak is so durable that it requires little or no care to maintain. When you first purchase your teak furniture, it will most likely be a golden-yellow color, which will usually last for the first season. Over time, the golden yellow will begin to mellow into a beautiful grayish tone, yet your furniture will remain hard and durable.
If you prefer your teak furniture to age gracefully to its natural state (a grayish tone), then you literally have to do nothing to it – you won't have to stain, lacquer or paint it to keep it healthy and durable throughout the season. If you prefer your teak furniture to maintain the golden-yellow color, you will want to oil it to preserve the finish. Whether you choose to oil the teak or choose not to oil it, the teak furniture will remain strong throughout the years.
For hundreds of years, waterproof teak wood has been used to build large ships and boats. Since teak is so durable and long-lasting, it is cost-effective to use it to make patio furniture, teak bathroom furniture, teak door mats and bedroom pieces. Teak produces natural oils that repel bugs and rot, plus it also resists decay and splintering, which means your teak furniture will usually last for several decades with minimal care.
How to Care for Teak Furniture:
The only maintenance we recommend for your teak furniture is occasional cleaning. This should be done with a mild soap (such as gentle hand cleaning soap) and warm water to preserve its natural elements.
- Remove any dust from the teak furniture with a dry cloth. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe it down, then finish with a dry cloth.
- For teak furniture that needs deeper cleaning, you can use a very soft brush and a mild soap (like a hand cleaning soap or teak cleaner) and warm water to wash it down.
- Rinse the furniture off with warm water or a wet cloth.
If you want to keep the golden yellow look of your teak furniture, you can purchase special teak furniture oils that will need to be re-applied about every 3 months. Just know that the teak furniture oils are to keep the color looking golden; teak furniture oil does not need to be applied to keep your teak furniture strong and durable. If your teak furniture has started to turn gray and you want to return it to its golden yellow appearance, there are products out on the market that can help. These products are usually used in a two-part process, but be sure you read the manufacturer's instructions before using any products on your teak furniture.

Dear Ancestry.com,
I have a request to make and I am sure, no, I
am positive I'm not alone in this request. I would like for you to craft a
campaign to increase user adoption of your Member Connect feature. While you may
feel that the adoption rate among your membership is sufficient to justify its
existence I, personally, am not feeling the love. This situation continues to
cause me undue anxiety and I hope with your intervention this anxiety can be
I send messages to most Member Connect users
that have trees matching mine for multiple generations and appear to have their
facts straight. The problem arises when they simply do not reply. Why don't they reply?
Do they not see that they are getting messages? Do they not know how to reply?
Do they not realize their identity and email addresses are hidden from me and
have nothing to fear? Could it be they think Member Connect is some kind of social media mumbo jumbo?
Generally I am a pretty likable person so
this non-response bothers me. I also have 11 years of research to share with
others. All I'm asking for is a little collaboration to further our research. So
you can see and surely understand my befuddlement over this situation.
I often see you tweet "what can Ancestry.com
do better?" and then you ask me to click a link to provide my feedback. Well
here you have it, this is my feedback. I love everything about your site and
your product. Oh no, wait...could you make it easy for me to print all 417
items in my Shoebox to PDF?
I appreciate your attention to this matter
and look forward to a speedy resolution.

I know you don't want to read much of what I have to say, but I still need you to read, if you can.
It was the second Friday of October, and quite humid. I was thinking of taking a shower together once you come back and then go out and do some pub hopping.
The doorbell rang and I thought it was you, standing there with a smile on your face and twinkle in your eyes.
Surprise! It was you but your eyes didn't have that twinkle and there's blood on your dress and bruises on your arms!
You looked like, coming straight out of a nightmare, or may be still living in it. I couldn't bring myself to believe whatever you were saying, and my brain and heart both were in denial. I forgot how to react or how to be there for you.
I felt ashamed, of everything, of everyone, of myself. You saw and knew what was going on inside my mind and you smiled and tried to comfort me.
I saw you shievering under your breath whenever the breeze used to move the curtains suddenly. I saw how your eyes often lost colours whenever the doorbell rang in odd hours. I saw it all but felt nothing. I felt ashamed of myself, I didn't want to come back home and didn't really want to kiss you or touch you!
It's been 2 years, since you left and left your shadow looming behind. The shadow that engulfed me with a nothingness where I couldn't see it was you who felt violated, shattered and unloved. It was you with those bruises, in your arms and invisible bruises on your soul. It was you whose soul and body went through the torture and not mine and still it was you who took all the nasty, demeaning questions while abiding by my growing disinterest and shame till one day you couldn't take it any longer!
That legal notice came as a surprise and as a way to find liberation. However, I do not feel liberated and yesterday, I was thinking how it wasn't your place to send that notice to me and how it should have been me, sending you the legal notice because it wasn't me who was violated! It was then, suddenly after 2 long years, I felt ashamed of my thinking, my upbringing and my existence. I realized why you had left me and how my thinking needs to be liberated. It wasn't that man that violated you, it was me too! I have violated your rights to be loved and to be respected and instead of being there and helping you being stronger I made your bruises bleed even more.
Hence, my dear, would you consider coming back to me to give me another chance to be a real human being? Would you allow me to become the person I always thought I was, so that I can face the mirror again?
Yours forever,
Loving Husband

A Champion: You Have to be One to Beat One
We've only had three races in this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, however, the debate that's raging right now is which driver has been the best to start the season: Jimmie Johnson or Brad Keselowski.
Fellow GraniteStripe.com blogger Gavin Faretra and I debated his Magic Mile Power Rankings from yesterday that put Keselowski over Johnson in the rankings. I disagreed.
Personally, I think that Johnson with his first, second and sixth-place finishes has had the car to beat over Keselowski (fourth, fourth and third). In each of the first two races of the season, he pulled away from Keselowski on late restarts and holds a five-point advantage in the standings. He's also led more than twice as many laps.
Regardless of your selection, the general consensus is that they're two peas in a pod or two cars under a blanket, as a NASCAR commentator might say. (Side note: That's gotta be one, big blanket!) Yahoo's Power Rankings also put Keselowski over Johnson, but that writer, Nick Bromberg, along with Gavin, both seem to admit that while they've taken the Penske Racing driver first, Johnson could be considered a 1A to him.
I might have them reversed with Keselowski ranked second, but I have to agree that both of their starts warrant a top spot in the rankings. Brad clearly has a championship demeanor with which he's approached this season. Like the five-time champion Johnson, he's shown why he deserves to wear the ring.
In each race so far, Keselowski's taken a car that hasn't looked to be among the fastest, but he worked with crew chief Paul Wolfe to improve it and got the No. 2 up front for at least some portion of the race. Rain on Friday gave him the benefit of starting on the pole from which he led the first nine laps, but not to be discredited, he got back up front on three other occasions during the Kobalt Tools 400.
There have been opportunities each week for him to fade back into a 15th-place finish, but he found ways to avoid that mediocre conclusion. The ability to make a good day into a great finish is what led to his 2012 Sprint Cup Championship. It's what keeps him in front of some other strong drivers, like Greg Biffle, who has finished 17th each of the last two weeks, or Kevin Harvick, who has finished 13th and ninth.
The resolve of consistency in top-fives and top-10s worked so well for Jimmie Johnson during his run of five consecutive titles from 2006-10, and it's a strategy at which the No. 2 team bested the No. 48 en route to last year's championship.
It's clear that Jimmie has no intention of passing the torch of greatness to another driver, but it's also clear that Keselowski doesn't care whether Johnson plans to pass it or not. He has the championship fortitude to step up and rip it away from him, and with his string of consistent finishes, it's only a matter of time before he visits victory lane to announce his plans for a title defense.
Sure, we've only had three races in 2013, but I've seen enough to know that we're looking at two heavyweights. It takes a champion to compete with a champion, and both of these competitors qualify under that premise. The back-and-forth between Johnson and Keselowski and the ensuing debate over the better driver is only just beginning.
If both these drivers can continue to build on their hot starts, and I certainly expect they will, it's going to be one heck of a power struggle to observe throughout the season.

Many countries have been enjoying Google Maps' free turn-by-turn navigation feature for a couple of years, but so far Mexico's been left out of the fun. That changes today with the launch of Google Maps Navigation (in beta, natch) in the country.
Just like the English-language version, Navigation for Mexican users features turn-by-turn directions, complete with voice playback, and real-time traffic updates. There's also Spanish-language voice search, and the ability to search for businesses or other places along your route.
Mexican Android users running OS version 2.2 Froyo or greater can take advantage of the new feature by jumping into the latest version of the Google Maps app.

I was a refugee from Brooklyn to Baldwin. Jewels pinned in the skirt hemmed, we ran to the burbs.
I loved potatoes but cringed at the barren, potato landscape of the South Shore of Long Island. Probably trying to get away, I quickly became a roamer. Even then, when the fences weren't yet dividing the quarter-acre plots, and the lawns hadn't yet turned into sod, I roamed. I was the original wandering Jew, my mother liked to say.
It was on a July afternoon when I walked into Rosie's kitchen, G-d knows why. She was a stranger. I was unbidden. I was also four-years old.
She offered me an apple.
I asked her if it was kosher.
She, another red-head, but a pig and shrimp eater, became my mother's best friend.
We were kosher, I mean really kosher. The chickens were salted and bled. My mother burned the very last feather off the bird flesh. I can still summon up that devilish, sulfurous smell. Everything came from the blood-smeared-aproned kosher butcher who shuttered from mid-afternoon on Friday night , after making sure everyone took home their cholent meat, wrapped in white paper.
We weren't rich, we only had seven sets of dishes and flatware. Two sets each of meat and dairy dishes (fancy and casual) and then there were the Passover dishes, dairy and meat (for meat, fancy and casual).
As a little girl I had to wait three hours after I ate meat to spoon down ice cream. When I was twelve that blossomed into an intolerable six-hour wait until I was able to head for the Breyer's after onion smothered roast beef. Always being a dairy Queen, this might have been one reason I turned my back on meat.
Back in that day, there were two forces that creeped into the 1960's Yid world.
Pizza! There was kosher pizza, on Avenue J! Oh there was a G-d! And then there were Kosher Jews who went out for Chinese on Sunday night. (sacre bleu!). Wait! They kept kosher at home? What?
Shumlke Bernstein's on Essex wasn't good enough? There really were circumcised and shuckling Jews who needed their pork the way my brother needed Cel-Ray.
Were these people...."Kosher?" They weren't even reformed, maybe conservadox? They went to shul with a mechitzah. The world was coming to an end.
At the same time the rush of Hungarian Jews flooded the country. The sales of sheitels became big business. These immigrants they also birthed the concept of Glatt Kosher-- ultra-kosher became the standard bearer. Regular Kosher was not good enough. Regular Kosher was traif. (Hmm..hard core sulfur vs. sulfur at will, perhaps?)
There are regs, however. Kosher fish? Must have fins and scales...Both! No either or.
A Kosher animal must both chew its cud and have a cloven hoof. Both! No either or.
What about fowl? Can't scavenge.
Turkey, which can be carnivorous, is debatable.
What about sturgeon or swordfish before it loses its scales? Gray zone.
This does bring us back to Natural wine and the definition and the San Francisco Natty wine week that was?
The gray zone. But how gray is gray? Dove gray? Battleship gray? Storm swirling gray? Do you eat turkey or do you swallow letter of the law? Wine isn't religion, yet there should be parameters to what is in the realm of the natural world. While it starts with viticulture, it does not end there.
Scales and fins, cud and hoof. Three or six hours? One is in the Torah one is debated in the Talmud and the oral tradition, yet there is the kernal of truth and there is the heart. Some people still think I'm kosher, hell no. My brain is kosher, my history is kosher but I am not kosher even if I don't eat pork and shellfish.
I know I've lost you. Sorry. That's what my first serious English prof told me, your writing is a mixed blessing, you might now always know where you're going but.....
My last post was about Natural Wine Week in SF. From the looks of the comments, you'd never know that I'd been privy to quite a few conversations with winemakers, journalists and drinkers over their dismay of certain winemakers being included, you know, Chinese food on Sunday night Jew/winemakers.
You'd never know that just about everyone I talked to asked me not to use their name, but agreed that some winemakers slipped through the holes.
Who were the they? Bloggers and journalists with friends. Winemakers afraid to lose their place on wine lists. People encouraging me to speak up, because that's what I do. And I imagine it is perceived I have nothing to lose. But when I think of it, I must have some sort of masochistic streak that leaves me in the role of the whipping post girl. I'm not claiming victim, but you know, a little support would be great.
I feel alone. (As an old lover once told me, you are born alone and you die alone---this was never a comfort.) On the other hand, if you eat pork on sunday nights, you are not kosher. And, as a good friend of mine says, sucking in a cigarette he is trying to stop, "Oh, well."
You might feel kosher, but you're not.
And if you yeast your wine (at the least) and over sulfur and acidify (in the least) you are not natural. Even if you want to. Even if that's where your heart lies.
But here is what I love. I love the debate about what is natural and what isn't. When in the history of wine has this happened? I believe this kind of dialogue (and please, yes, a dialogue) will ultimately lead to a real Golden Age of winemaking.
The fights that spring out around the topic are thrilling.
In my interior life I'm still the Yeshiva Girl I had been. True, always a rebellious one. The one who cut classes, ran into the city, read Bukowski and waited for just the right time to bust out.
Last week, in San Francisco, thanks to the efforts of Ian Becker and Wolfgang Weber and the stores and restaurants who participated, there was something thrilling going on. Proof was evidence that the taste and the wild side of winemakers on the edge provoke drinkers, tasters and the curious show up.

Post subject: CITO
Last year it came to my attention that our group had not hosted a CITO event since 2009 so I organized one for World Environmental Day in June at Lagimodiere/Gadboury Park in St. Boniface and it was a huge success! I then decided to also organize one for GeoVenture weekend and that went well too. It was nice to see such a positive response from our geocaching community for both of these!
I have started planning for this year's World Environmental Day CITO and during my research discovered a great opportunity for our association:
The City of Winnipeg has an Adopt-A-Park program available and with a minimum two year commitment they would provide signage at the park stating our group name!
According to my contact in the parks department, they have some groups who each spring or fall (or both) come in and do clean ups and once that becomes an annual commitment they recognize the group with an adopt a park sign on site. Sometimes the relationships can grow to see volunteers provide other assistance such as planting beds or bench donations, etc.
What do you think?
Would you like to help us commit to adopting a park to clean up once or twice a year for the next couple years?
Please provide your feedback and/or suggest a park that you think could benefit from our group doing CITO at.
a) I am hoping that we can get enough feedback to commit to this by June 5th but if we don't then the new deadline will be the end of August.
b) We will take a poll to pick from the park suggestions when the deadline has been reached.

I'll add the thoughts that have come up in the past about this idea. Historically attendance at CITO events has been quite low, such that it would be difficult to have enough people attend twice a year to clean an entire park.

Thank you for bringing this up. I was wondering if you could please clarify more. My research shows the following:
GC1QBM4: Greening the Greenway CITO Day, 5/9/09 - 12 teams
GC2Q0R7: MBGA's World Environmental Day CITO, 6/5/11 - 13 teams
GC3182J: GeoVenture 2011 CITO, 8/28/11 - 25 teams

Great idea, I am indifferent to which park is picked other than one that is closer to the northern park of the city since it's closer for me.

How about Bruce Park? It has a has a Cenotaph which is dedicated to the memory of those who died in the First World War, the Second World War, Korea, and to Canadian peacekeepers, is a location for wedding pictures, not too big, and is just across from Assiniboin Park, (The park on the other side of the walking bridge).
