After passing tax cuts and spending that added massively to the deficit, congressional Republicans made a show of fiscal austerity Thursday by voting for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution.
As expected, the measure failed, falling short of the two-thirds vote needed to advance. The vote was 233 to 184.
The measure came to the floor a day after House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) surprised lawmakers by announcing plans to retire at the end of the year.
Not even its supporters had expected the balanced-budget amendment to pass the House. But congressional conservatives, many of whom opposed last month's $1.3 trillion "omnibus" bill over what they viewed as its excessive domestic spending, nonetheless pushed for the vote, presenting it as a necessary tonic after Congress's recent budget binge. The giant government-wide spending bill has caused a backlash from the Republican base — frustrating President Trump, who voiced displeasure with the bill and briefly threatened to veto it.
[Trump signs $1.3 trillion spending bill despite veto threat on Twitter]
"It's basically fulfilling your promises," said Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, which secured a commitment for the balanced-budget vote last fall. "I know it kind of looks more showy coming out of response of a lot of the Republican base regarding the omnibus, but this is something in all fairness that had been worked on. And that's why I don't necessarily understand all the criticism, because this has been in the works for some time."
The vote on the balanced-budget amendment is expected to be followed in coming weeks by a related push by the White House and GOP leaders to take back billions of dollars from last month's $1.3 trillion government spending bill via an obscure process called "rescission." That effort, too, is designed to appease conservatives, but it also appears destined to fail.
The criticism of the balanced-budget amendment came from Democrats who denounced it as an exercise in political posturing that, if enacted, would result in steep cuts to Medicare and Social Security.
"This legislation is a brazen assault on seniors, children and working families — the American people we were elected to protect," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). "Make no mistake, this GOP con job has nothing to do with fiscal responsibility."
Some Republicans, too, criticized the vote as a pointless performance.
Amending the Constitution requires approval by a two-thirds vote in the House and the Senate, as well as ratification by three-fourths of the states. Those are steep hurdles, and the legislation looked just as unlikely to pass the Senate as the House, though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) expressed interest this week in taking it up.
"What a joke. What a joke. It is the biggest joke in the world," said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.). "It's a way for people to hide behind making tough decisions. I'm for a balanced-budget amendment, but the way it's drafted, it's just to give people cover. We've got the House, the Senate and the presidency. If we wanted to figure out a way to balance the budget we could do it."
[Deficit to top $1 trillion per year by 2020, CBO says]
Conservative Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) voiced a similar complaint, saying he was concerned that the legislation "may deceive the public into thinking that it is a substantive balanced-budget amendment, which it is not."
"In fact, the public should be looking at the spending bills that we just passed, an $800-some-odd-billion-dollar deficit that is projected this year, with a Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican White House," Brooks said.
Congress has taken votes on balanced-budget amendments in the past, though not since 2011 — when Republicans were hammering President Barack Obama for presiding over growing deficits in the wake of the global financial crisis. In that instance, neither the House nor Senate voted to advance the measure.
This week's vote comes three days after the Congressional Budget Office projected drastically growing deficits, hitting $1 trillion and above starting in 2020, partly as a result of the new GOP tax law and the omnibus spending bill. Actions taken by the GOP Congress and Trump since June are "estimated to make deficits $2.7 trillion larger than previously projected" in the next decade, the CBO said.
Given those figures, some Republicans are privately questioning the timing of the amendment vote.
"It draws attention to a subject that we shouldn't be drawing attention to," said a Republican lawmaker who spoke on the condition of anonymity to comment candidly on party strategy. "Frankly, the Democrats ought to be making that push, not us."
The size of the spending bill has prompted such heartburn and complaints among conservatives that the White House is working with Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on a rescissions request that would seek to pare $30 billion to $60 billion from the legislation. But this, too, is dividing Republicans, winning strong support from conservatives but angering members of the spending committees in both the House and the Senate, making its passage through either chamber look questionable.
[Key Senate Republicans warn White House against pursuing spending cuts]
Several Appropriations Committee members noted that last month's government spending bill, needed to stave off a shutdown, was the product of negotiations between Republican and Democratic congressional leaders in each chamber as well as the White House. Republicans sought and achieved major increases in defense spending; Democrats demanded big increases in domestic spending in exchange, and they got that.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) dismissed the rescissions effort in brief comments this week, echoing other appropriators who warned that reneging on the deal would hamstring future negotiations: "Keeping your word is pretty important," Frelinghuysen said.
Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), another senior member of the Appropriations Committee in the House, said the rescission effort is "unrealistic and dangerous."
"I mean, it's hard enough to make a bargain around here. You can't break your word the minute you give it. And that's basically what a rescission package in my view would be."
Still, other Republicans said that with tough midterm elections approaching, the party must take steps to energize a GOP base that at this point appears to be lagging behind Democrats in enthusiasm.
"We need to start doing things that shows our base that we are really conservative," said Rep. Dennis A. Ross (R-Fla.), who just announced plans to retire. "And as you know there's a lot of our base, and some even moderates, that were upset because of the omnibus. But when you see what the [military] is going through with all these training accidents, we had to do what we had to do, but now we need to show the American people that we're serious about getting our house in order."

We've supplied a purpose made vertical lift as part of a huge building project for the University of London on their SOAS site. The lift freestanding lift is glazed to match the glazing in the shaft framework. A stainless steel framed door completes the contemporary look. The lift is positioned in the freestanding shaft and adjoins the second floor at the top of the wide feature staircase.
Work first began at the University of London's SOAS site in late 2014 (news post Grade II listed project) on this incredible glass roofed project which required a stylish vertical platform lift to serve the two floors. There was no shaft for the lift and it was required to be freestanding. Orona, one of our trade customer's, commissioned us to supply the vertical lift, working with Graham Construction who built the shaft framework.
The lift is now fully completed and installed and the whole building project very nearly completed.

Nyx Wonder Pencil
Product: The Nyx Wonder pencil claims to be a concealer, eye brightener & reverse lip liner all in one. You can get it in the colour Light, Medium & Deep but I choose light so I could use it essentially as a brightener in the waterline but it would only highlight my blemishes so I wouldn't use as a concealer.
I also like to use it under the eyebrow & in the inner corner and blend out as a base for my highlighter colours, and I've tried it as a lip liner, but you don't want to go outside the edges or it will make your lips look smaller.
Pigmentation: It is pigmented on the skin, but but I do need to go over the waterline a couple of times for it to show up properly. It is creamy & easy to blend out on the skin.
Longevity: In the waterline I will probably only get a couple of hours wear out of it as my eyes are usually pretty teary anyway so nothing lasts really long there, but this is something you can chuck in your makeup bag to reaply throughout the day if you wish and if you get the right colour it would be good to touch up any blemishes that may be showing but I'm not sure how long it lasts because I haven't tried it like that.
Price: $4.50 on Cherry Culture but prices may vary depending on where it's purchased from.
Have you tried this eyeliner before?

I like the versatility of this product, it reminds me of some pencil that Benefit has but I can't remember the name of! Shame that it took a few attempts to get it to show up on your waterline- but I find so many products are difficult to work with on the waterline :(ReplyDelete
I like that it's a beige colour and not a stark white! I have a pencil similar to this colour but I never thought of using it as a base for brow and tear duct highlight - so thanks for that tip!ReplyDelete
Looks like a creamy color perfect for waterline!ReplyDelete
Thanks for share this product with us!
I have the Rimmel one and find it doesn't last long on my waterline (but I wear contacts) I def want to try this one next!ReplyDelete

I have a few thoughts after attending this weekend Blue and White Game.
1. The Punting Game
On fourth down, the teams punted the ball every time. Why? Wouldn't it be better for the offense to go for it on fourth down? Actually, it is better but most coaches, college and professional, still bring out the punter. Also, a punting contest!
2. The Referees
Who were they? Were they local high school referees? Or were they Big Ten referees who needed work during the offseason?
3. The Axalta Race Car
Other than the medical carts, this is the first time I can recall that a vehicle was driven onto the turf at Beaver Stadium.
4. Vaccine Awareness
One of the advertisements being displayed in Beaver Stadium reminded folks to get their vaccinations. Given the fiery discussion of vaccinations earlier in the year, this is probably the most political ad that has been displayed in the stadium.
5. Secessionist Movements
The Confederates weren't the only ones represented this weekend. The Conch Republic had supporters tailgating in the BJC lot.

Winds of Change Newsletter, December 2007 See sidebar for table of contents
Judge: Valley Fill Damages Trump $$$ Lost
On October 11, a federal judge ruled in our favor and stopped a coal company from starting new valley fills at Jupiter Holdings Callisto mine in Boone County.
Bim resident Dorsey Green, whose home in Dry Branch Hollow is very close to one of the blocked valley fills, was relieved by the judges decision.
"I am so thankful for this ruling. Ive been a coal miner my whole life and this valley fill would have destroyed my homeplace and everything I have worked for," Green said. "I have spent many sleepless nights thinking about the terrible representation we as a community get from our regulatory agencies. This ruling will restore my sleep and my retirement years."
OVEC, Coal River Mountain Watch and the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy, represented by the Appalachian Center for the Economy and the Environment, Earthjustice and Public Justice, challenged the valley fill permit based on earlier legal victories.
In granting our motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers noted that we "made a strong showing that the permits issued by the Corps are arbitrary and capricious, contrary to law, and contrary to the economic and environmental balance struck by Congress in the passage of the relevant environmental statutes."
The order halts the mining companys plan to begin new valley fill activities at the site until the court can rule on our challenge to Callistos permit.
"The judge just gave hope to other affected residents that live in communities near this type of destructive, illegal mining," said Judy Bonds of Coal River Mountain Watch.
On Oct. 12, in "Boone County mountaintop removal project blocked," Ken Ward, Jr. of the Charleston Gazette reported:
Chambers ruled that permanent damage to streams and forests outweighed temporary and speculative economic harm to the company.
"Money can be earned, lost and earned again," Chambers wrote in a 12-page opinion, "a valley once filled is gone."
...Chambers ruled in March that the (Army Corps
of Engineers) had not fully evaluated potential environmental damage before approving four other strip-mining permits owned by Massey Energy.
In (this most recent) ruling, Chambers explained that all environmental laws contain "numerous provisions that serve as checks on development, industry and other economic activities in order to ensure that environmental consequences are considered and valuable environmental resources are protected.
"While it is true that these statutes contemplate a certain amount of environmental degradation, they also mandate a certain amount of economic loss," Chambers wrote. "Economic gain is not to be pursued at all costs, and certainly not when it is contrary to the law."
Initially, officials from Magnum Coal said that they would not need to begin new valley fills until after the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals hears an appeal of Chambers previous decision. However, in mid-December, Magnum told environmental groups the company planned to move forward much sooner on at least one valley fill.
During a Sept. 26 hearing in Huntington (Ed. note: thanks to all that attended this hearing we had a great showing!), company officials said their existing valley fill is almost full of waste rock and dirt. To continue mining, company officials said, they needed to start a new valley fill much sooner.
Chambers explained that Jupiters "main interest in opposing this motion is its own economic interest.
"While the court must certainly consider the economic effect of this decision on Jupiters employees and the surrounding communities, these effects are distinguishable from the harm suffered by Jupiter itself," Chambers wrote.
"While Jupiter may or may not be a good employer or a beneficial corporate citizen, it is certainly out to make money," the judge wrote. "Whether it is environmental enforcement or other market forces that cut into profits, Jupiters interest in its own bottom line may cause it to lay off its workers."
Chambers said the "main harm suffered by Jupiter, therefore, is a delay in reaping economic benefits from the Callisto mine.
"This temporary economic harm can be outweighed by the permanent harm to the environment that comes from the filling of streams and valleys," Chambers wrote.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- NBC said it'll make an equity investment in Tivo, the maker of a digital set-top box that allows viewers to record up to 30 hours of programming without videotape.
Financial terms weren't disclosed.
NBC, a unit of General Electric GE, -0.88% will develop "new programming enhancements," including "highly targeted promotional video," for the Tivo box.
Several of the networks have tinkered with ways of so-called time shifting of their programming to allow viewers to see their shows whenever they want to and still generate revenue from such nontraditional viewing patterns. Tivo's ad campaign says its box delivers "primetime-anytime."
This kind of repurposing is being pursued even as some wonder if the networks will cannibalize their own audience base.
For example, Disney/ABC Cable is set to launch a 24-hour soap-opera cable channel next year that will air same-day repeats of ABC's daytime dramas, in an effort to capitalize on the changing habits of soap fans. ABC stations are concerned that the channel will siphon viewers away from the network.
Tivo's other equity partners include Philips Electronics PHG, +0.88% ; DirecTV, a unit of Hughes Electronics gmh ; Showtime Networks, a unit of Viacom via ; Allegro Capital; Institutional Venture Partners; New Enterprise Associates; and Vulcan Ventures, funded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
General Electric shares rose 5/16 to 102 11/16 Wednesday.

Scaremongering at its best
A perspective on potential climate
changes presented by Dr. Robert B. Gagosian,
Over the past two decades, we have heard about greenhouse gases and the idea that our planet is gradually warming. I'd like to throw a curveball into that thinking—specifically the "gradually warming" part.
This new thinking is little known and scarcely appreciated by policymakers and world and business leaders—and even by the wider community of natural and social scientists. But evidence from several sources has amassed and coalesced over the past 10 to 15 years. It points to a completely different—almost counterintuitive—scenario.
Global warming could actually lead to a big chill in some parts of the world. If the atmosphere continues to warm, it could soon trigger a dramatic and abrupt cooling throughout the North Atlantic region—where, not incidentally, some 60 percent of the world's economy is based.
When I say "dramatic," I mean: Average winter temperatures could drop by 5 degrees Fahrenheit over much of the United States, and by 10 degrees in the northeastern United States and in Europe. That's enough to send mountain glaciers advancing down from the Alps. To freeze rivers and harbors and bind North Atlantic shipping lanes in ice. To disrupt the operation of ground and air transportation. To cause energy needs to soar exponentially. To force wholesale changes in agricultural practices and fisheries. To change the way we feed our populations. In short, the world, and the world economy, would be drastically different.
And when I say "abrupt," I mean: These changes could happen within a decade, and they could persist for hundreds of years. You could see the changes in your lifetime, and your grandchildren's grandchildren will still be confronting them.
And when I say "soon," I mean: In just the past year, we have seen ominous signs that we may be headed toward a potentially dangerous threshold. If we cross it, Earth's climate could switch gears and jump very rapidly—not gradually— into a completely different mode of operation.
The key to these climate shifts is that Earth's climate is created and maintained by a dynamic system of moving, interacting parts. Earth's climate system has two main components. The first one you are all familiar with by watching your local TV meteorologist or The Weather Channel. It is the atmosphere, which circulates heat and moisture around the globe. But, in fact, the atmosphere redistributes only about half of the energy that the earth receives from the Sun.
The other half is transported around our planet by a circulation system that is equally important, but far less understood—the ocean. The ocean isn't a stagnant bathtub. It circulates heat around the planet like the heating and cooling system in your house. The atmosphere and oceans are equal partners in creating Earth's climate. The atmosphere is a rabbit. It moves fast. Rapid changes in atmospheric circulation cause storms, cold spells, or heat waves that play out over several days.
The ocean, on the other hand, is a turtle. It may take years or decades or even millennia for similar "disturbances" to circulate through the ocean. But the ocean is a big turtle. It stores about 1,000 times more heat than the atmosphere. So changes in ocean circulation can set the stage for large-scale, long-term climate changes.
One example that you may be familiar with is El Nińo. Every few years, oceanic conditions shift, and surface water temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific get warmer. The atmosphere above the ocean shifts, too. El Nińo rearranges worldwide wind and rainfall patterns, causing destructive droughts, floods, storms, and forest fires. Not to downplay El Nińo in the least, because it causes grave human suffering and billions of dollars in damage—but El Nińo is relatively short-lived. It lasts only a year or two.
The climate changes I'm concerned about last longer and involve the ocean circulation system that spans the entire globe—which we often call the Great Ocean Conveyor.
The Great Ocean Conveyor is the ocean's major heat-circulating system. The ocean keeps our planet from overheating by transporting heat north and south, from the equator to the poles, in currents traveling near the ocean surface. In the Atlantic, the Conveyor removes heat from the Southern Hemisphere and releases it to the Northern Hemisphere.
When the Gulf Stream's warm, salty waters reach colder latitudes, they give up their heat to the atmosphere. The atmosphere in the North Atlantic region warms by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Prevailing winds carry the heat eastward into Europe. That's one reason London, England—which is located at the same latitude as Calgary and Edmonton—has warmer winters than New York—which is hundreds of miles farther south.
When the Gulf Stream's waters reach the Labrador, Greenland and other northern seas, and lose their heat to the atmosphere, they become colder—and hence denser. The waters are also relatively salty. Salty water is denser than fresher water, so the whole salty mass begins to sink to great depths.
When this sinking mass of cold water reaches the abyss, it then flows at deep levels of the ocean, from the North Atlantic southward into the South Atlantic. The plunge of this great volume of cold, salty water propels the Great Ocean Conveyor. And on the back end, it creates a void that actively pulls the Gulf Stream northward to replace the waters that are sinking.
It's a pretty neat system. We have been operating under the climate conditions created by this beneficent oceanic heating, ventilation, and cooling system for centuries.
But what if this system weren't operating today? What if cold North Atlantic waters didn't sink and warm equatorial waters weren't drawn in to replace the sinking waters? Then the North Atlantic region would be a much different, much colder place.
The vast majority of us go about our business thinking that Earth's climate system has always been this way, and always will be. But that is just not the case. In fact, we know that the Ocean Conveyor has indeed shut down—stopped operating—in the past.
We know this by examining truly interesting and valuable natural archives that record past changes in Earth's climate. For example, we can see layers within ice sheets in Greenland or in high elevations in the Andes Mountains in South America. This layering is caused by variations in the amount of snow that fell on the top of the ice sheet in the past.
Thus from a single ice sheet record, it is possible to reconstruct the past history of precipitation and air temperature in a region. For very old ice sheets, like the glaciers on Greenland, it is possible to reconstruct this climate history 100,000 years into the past.
The ocean has similar archives of past climate. By taking cores from the ocean floor, it is possible to reconstruct the history of ocean climate back many thousands of years. We have used our ships to collect samples of sediments from the seafloor. Preserved in the sediments are the fossil remains of microscopic organisms that settle to the seafloor. They accumulate over time in layers—similar to the ice core—that delineate many important aspects of past climate.
For instance, certain organisms are found only in colder, polar waters and never live in warmer waters. They can reveal where and when cold surface waters existed—and didn't exist—in the past.
From records like these, we know that about 12,800 years ago, North Atlantic waters cooled dramatically—and so did the North Atlantic region. This large cooling in Earth's climate occurred in about a decade. And the cold spell lasted for about 1,300 years.
This period is called the Younger Dryas, and it is just one of several periods when Earth's climate changed very rapidly from warm to cold conditions, and then back to warm again. So these long-term cold snaps are not unusual.
These shifts almost certainly involved changes in the ocean's circulation. There were shutdowns and restartings of the Ocean Conveyor. These warm-to-cold transitions happen in about 3 to 10 years. The cold periods lasted for 500 to 1,000 years. Such oscillations in temperature and ocean circulation have occurred on a regular basis.
About 1,000 years ago, during a period of unusually warm temperatures in the North Atlantic, the Norse established settlements and vineyards in Greenland that would not be possible today. Those settlements were abandoned about 500 years ago, when we believe the most recent shutdown of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation system occurred.
During that era, called the Little Ice Age, northern Europe was much colder than it is today. Glaciers spread outward and downward in the Alps. Winters, on average, were more severe. Farming was affected. Famine was frequent.
In the 1730s and 1740s, abrupt European cooling caused famine across western Europe, especially in Ireland and France, where farmers depended on wheat and potatoes. In Ireland, this is known as the "forgotten famine." As many people died during the forgotten famine as died during the famed potato famine of the 1840s.
The 16th-century Flemish artist Bruegel couldn't have painted his famous frozen landscapes today, because now canals in the Netherlands rarely freeze, as they regularly did back then. And likewise, the winter in Valley Forge might not have been so cold, and Washington's crossing of the ice-bound Delaware River wouldn't have been so dramatic, if he had done it a century later—because our climate conditions have shifted since then, and today, the Delaware River rarely freezes.
If you read David McCullough's biography of John Adams, you will remember that the British were about to set Boston on fire when George Washington was able to bring the cannons of Fort Ticonderoga down from upstate New York in record time. He was able to do it because the ground was frozen solid and they could slide the cannons to the Dorchester hills of Boston in time to persuade the British to retreat from Boston and to change the course of history.
So we have solid evidence that the Great Ocean Conveyor has slowed down or shut down in the past. And we have seen dire impacts on our climate. It begs the question: Could something throw a wrench into the Great Ocean Conveyor in the near future? And could that trigger abrupt, dramatic climate changes throughout our planet? The answers to those questions are, indisputably, "Yes and yes."
The middle tier shows what happens if you push on the system. The ball will rattle and roll around in different directions for a while until it settles back down in its cup. We humans would definitely notice that rattling until the climate system returned to equilibrium. The balance, forced to move, staggers but recovers.
Then there is a third situation— in which a strong enough push at the right time could shove the system past a threshold and into a completely different mode of operation. In terms of our climate system, that means that a small or temporary forcing could produce a sudden, large, and long-lasting change. That begs the next question: What could do that to our climate system today?
One answer to that is fresh water. If you simply add too much fresh water to the North Atlantic, the waters there will become less salty and less dense. They will stop sinking. Then the Gulf Stream slows down or is deflected southward. Winters in the North Atlantic region get significantly colder.
Now here's the predicament. In the past year, oceanographers monitoring and analyzing water conditions in the North Atlantic, have concluded that the North Atlantic has been freshening dramatically—especially in the past decade. New data —from Ruth Curry at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and her colleague Robert Dickson at the British Centre for Environment, Fisheries, and Aquaculture Science—chronicles salinity changes in the western North Atlantic since 1960.
The Great Ocean Conveyor transports fresh surface water down into the depths. The depths can absorb a lot of fresh water like a sponge. But since 1970, the equivalent of an extra 20 feet of fresh water across the surface of the northern North Atlantic has been transported down into the ocean depths, most of that since 1990.
A sponge that is three-quarters saturated can still absorb more water. But the moment that sponge is fully saturated, it can absorb no more water.
The very recent freshening signal in the North Atlantic is arguably the biggest and most dramatic change in ocean property that has ever been measured in the global ocean. Already, surface waters in the Greenland Sea are sinking at a rate 20 percent slower than in the 1970s.
At what percent will the Ocean Conveyor stop? 25 percent? 40 percent? 60 percent? This is not like a dimmer switch, but more like a light switch. It probably goes from "on" to "off."
We can't yet determine the precise source or sources of this additional fresh water. Global warming may be melting glaciers, or Arctic sea ice. In recent decades, the volume of Arctic sea ice has decreased by 40 percent. And if North Atlantic sinking slows down, less salty Gulf Stream waters flow northward—which exacerbates the situation.
In February 2002, at a worldwide meeting of oceanographers, new data on North Atlantic freshening prompted many scientists to say that salinity levels in the North Atlantic are approaching a density very close to the critical point at which the waters will stop sinking.
One of my colleagues at Woods Hole, Terry Joyce, put it this way: "I'm in the dark as to how close to an edge or transition to a new ocean and climate regime we might be," he said. "But I know which way we are walking. We are walking toward the cliff."
To that sentiment, I would add this: We are walking toward the edge of a cliff—blindfolded. Our ability to understand the potential for future abrupt changes in climate is limited by our lack of understanding of the processes that control them.
In the past decades, we have made great strides in understanding Earth's atmospheric circulation system because we established a global network of thousands of meteorological stations to monitor changing atmospheric conditions. No observational network exists to continuously monitor the oceans. If we just had a few more strategically placed modern instruments in the oceans for an extended time, we could understand so much more about how the oceans can cause abrupt climate changes. At present, there is no national plan for improving our understanding of the issue, and according to a 2002 National Research Council report, no policymaking body is addressing the many concerns raised by the potential for abrupt climate change.
So here's the situation: We have unequivocal evidence of repeated, large, widespread, abrupt climate changes on Earth. It is reasonable to assume that greenhouse warming can exacerbate the possibility of precipitating large, abrupt, and regional or global climatic changes. We even have strong evidence that we may be approaching a dangerous threshold—that we are squeezing a trigger in the North Atlantic.
We could downplay the relevance of past abrupt events and deny the likelihood of future abrupt climate changes. But that could prove costly. With growing globalization, the adverse impacts of climate changes are likely to spill across national boundaries—through migration, economic shocks, and political aftershocks.
Over human history, one of the major ways that humans have adapted to changing environmental and economic fortunes has been to migrate from unproductive or impacted regions to more productive and hospitable regions. But today, the world's population has grown too large. There is less usable, unpopulated territory to absorb migrants. National borders are less open, so it is difficult for people to move to other countries when droughts, floods, famines, and wars occur. These boundary effects could be particularly severe for small and poor countries, whose populations are often unwelcome in richer countries. In the 1840s, more than 1 million Irish people emigrated because of the potato blight. Can you imagine an equivalent migration of many millions of people today? Keep in mind that there were only about 1 billion people on Earth then. There are 6 billion now.
As a society, I believe we must face the potential for abrupt climate change. Perhaps we can mitigate the changes. If not, at least we can still take steps to adapt to them.
The best way to improve the effectiveness of our response is to have more knowledge of what can happen—and how and when. Research into the causes, patterns, likelihood, and effects of abrupt climate change can help reduce our vulnerabilities and increase our ability to adapt.
If climate changes come abruptly, we will have less time to adjust. In other words, the more knowledge we have—the more reliably we can predict changes—the better our chances.
Maybe over the edge of the cliff, there's just a three-inch drop-off. Or maybe there's a big, fluffy bed full of pillows. My worry is that we are indeed approaching this cliff blindfolded.
Are you comfortable and secure with this scenario?
FAEC's Comment: Well, yes, we feel quite comfortable and secure, because that scenario does not exist. The favorite scenario of certain climate modelers, as Mr. Gagosian's, is one in which the North Atlantic oceanic "conveyor belt" and Gulf Stream are turned off, thereby turning Western Europe into Siberia. But more realistic models show that the warmer European temperatures are not set by the Gulf Stream but by the perturbation of the atmospheric circulation induced by the Rocky Mountains of the Western US [Seager, Richard. 2003. Quart. J Royal Meterorol. Soc]. Another model shows that even as there is a freshening of the North Atlantic, the conveyor belt is strengthened not weakened: Read the abstract:

Finally, we have the direct evidence from the atmosphere: Previous warmings, the Holocene optimum (8000-5000 BP) and the Medieval Climate Optimum (ca. 1000 AD), did not cause any abrupt cooling. So much for Gagosian's dreams.

text: we made a stop at the LA temple on our way home from grandma's during our vacation. we spent less than twenty minutes walking around its grounds and it ended up taking us three extra hours to get home (thank you, afternoon traffic. gah.), but it was worth it worth it worth it. though brief, I just loved being in the place where our family began and this time with our simon lad in tow.

My dad just died. He was a pedophile. A lot of stuff is coming up for both my brother and me now. There are many things he did that we know about, but some things happened when we were so young that we're not sure about. My bro just said he's had dreams throughout his life — many more of them lately — about a cock being in his mouth. He's hetero and has been married for more than 20 years. He wonders if any other straight men have dreams like this or if it is some manifestation of the abuse. He is too afraid to ask any of his straight male friends. So I ask you: Do straight men ever have dreams of a cock in their mouth? Or is it odd? Gay? What?
The Brothers Grim
"I am very sorry for TBG's loss, as complicated as it is," said Dr. James Cantor, a psychologist, associate professor at the University of Toronto, and editor in chief of Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment. "The quick answer to his question: no. Although it is unusual, having dreams like that does not, by itself, mean a man is gay or otherwise into penises. (OK, technically, it's "penes.") Although there haven't been any formal surveys, gay men usually dream (and fantasize while masturbating) about men in general: muscles and faces, celebrities and crushes, the range of their favorite sex acts, etc. I haven't heard a gay man — friend or client — describe dreams restricted lifelong to just penis-in-mouth."
Dr. Cantor offers a caveat for other readers: "For a long time, many folks believed that such dreams were repressed memories trying to surface. But there was never any good evidence for it. In fact, a great deal of harm has been done by well-meaning 'therapists' who, instead of helping clients to recover lost memories, wound up creating false memories of abuse and destroying whole families." So very clearly and for the record: "Having such dreams, by itself, does not mean a person was abused."
What is odd, however, is the long-standing, repetitive nature of your dreams.
"Although dreams do not tell us anything specific (again, these are not memories-in-waiting or great symbolic themes), they can suggest that there is something on his mind," said Dr. Cantor. "If life is going generally well, and this is just a harmless eccentricity, so be it. If, however, your brother is experiencing more general distress, then that distress — whether fallout from childhood abuse, from the death of your father, or from something else — could be targeted with a bona fide, licensed therapist. Complicated situations like yours almost always involve multiple strong and conflicting emotions. Because you say lots of stuff (other than these dreams) is coming up for you both, an objective outsider/listener can indeed be of great help in sorting it out."
I am a 29-year-old lesbian. My best friend has an incredibly hot sister to whom I am very attracted. Let's call her Gladys. Gladys is about 10 years older than me and happily married to a man. We talk about life on Facebook and text each other frequently. Recently, things have gotten a bit more flirtatious. I am dying to say to her, "I am super-attracted to you and I don't want to assume anything about your agreements with your hubby. If you ever want to explore your sexuality with a girl, I would love to be that girl." It seems like a delicate situation. I love my best friend's entire family. I love their mom. I have spent holidays at their house and vacationed with them. I don't want to embarrass myself. But I know she couldn't ask me that same thing. It just wouldn't be right from her side, since I am her little sister's best friend. Is there a way to roll this out?
Lesbian Under Straight Tease
Let's do a quick risk/reward analysis, LUST. By hitting on this woman, you're risking your relationship with your best friend, your best friend's sister, your best friend's mom, and all future family holiday/vacation invites for the potential reward of getting into the pants of your best friend's hot married older sister once or twice. Seems like a lot to risk if you ask me, LUST, and you did. That said, there are a lot of married bi women out there. But if Gladys has an open relationship with her husband — or if they're actively searching for a unicorn — it would be better if they made the first move. So keep flirting and live in hope.

Salt & Straw586 Hayes St
San Francisco, CA 94102
b/t Octavia St & Laguna St
Hayes Valley
Attire: Casual
Price: $$ for ice cream
Service: Friendly and lots of sampling!
Who don't like sweets and extravagant flavors?! I love how they have seasonal flavors and condiments. I chose the Honey Lavender today, if you do like Lavender items this will please you. The aroma is awesome. Once you walk into the store, you can smell the sweetness of the waffle cones in the making! You need to come and give this new place a try. It's fairly new in Hayes Valley, but I know there are a few more other stores around the bay area + Seattle.
The ice cream is definitely on the sweeter side.
You can do a bunch of tastings before you decide on your favorite. If you really just love a few, they have the tasting flight which they allow you to pick about 3 flavors to indulge. I would recommend the tasting if you have a group of people, with your kids or just because you love ice cream.
The service may be a bit on the slower side because people do ask for samples, so there may be those few who tastes many flavors. If you don't have much time, they have the prepacked pints in the fridge for you to take on the go.

A Sicilian Mafia fugitive who had been living in Britain under a false name for more than 20 years cannot be extradited to Italy, a court ruled today.
Domenico Rancadore, 65, who is said by the Italian authorities to be the head of a Mafia clan based in Trabia near Palermo, was set free after Westminster Magistrates' Court rejected the request for his extradition.
Judge Howard Riddle said that he had been ready to order Rancadore's return to Italy until the High Court ruled in a different case last week that conditions in Italy's prisons were unacceptable and in breach of the Human Rights Act.
The judge said that he had no choice but to abide by the decision of the higher court.
Rancadore was released on bail and fitted with an electronic tag pending an expected appeal by the Italian authorities.
The case raises concerns about the conduct of further extradition cases between Britain and Italy. Between 2009-13 Italy requested the extradition of 49 suspects who were detained in Britain under the European Arrest Warrant. All but six of those were surrendered.
Britain has had good working relationships with the Italian authorities, notably securing the swift return of one of the 21/7 bomb suspects in 2005.
The ruling in the Rancadore case was effectively determined by a judgment last week in the case of Hayle Abdi Badre, a Somali citizen who was wanted in Florence for financial offences.
The High Court ruled that he could not be returned to Italy because of concerns aired in a previous European Court judgment about the state of Italy's prisons.
Click on post title to read more…
A 2013 European ruling said that there was "a systemic problem in the Italian penitentiary system resulting from a chronic malfunction". The crux of the problem is that prisons built to hold 45,000 inmates are holding more than 66,000 and have an overcrowding rate of 148%.
The High Court said that assurances provided by Italy in the Badre case were too general and could not be relied upon.
Ruling on the Rancadore case, Judge Riddle said that the decision of the High Court was "binding" on him.
He said he was "satisfied that the warrant is valid, there is no statutory bar and extradition is compatible with the defendant's Convention [human] rights, including prison conditions".
However, the judge said the High Court ruling in Badre — that assurances from Italy were "not sufficient" in the light of systemic problems in the Italian prison system — could not be overruled.
Rancadore, who was known as The Professor in his native Sicily, moved to London in 1994 with his British-born wife and two children. He used the name Marc Skinner and worked as a chauffeur.
He was found guilty of Mafia association and extortion in Italy in 1999 and given a seven-year jail term. The Italian courts ruled that he was a member of "an extremely dangerously armed Mafia-type organisation". Witnesses said that he had taken kickbacks from government contracts.
Previously, the court was told that he had fled Italy because he wanted "a normal life" for his family and had "cut every tie" to his past.
He was arrested in August last year and it is alleged that he had taken extreme steps to hide his presence in Britain — changing his name, not having a national insurance record and having the family home in his wife's name.
The prosecution alleged that he had been "deliberately absent" from the 1999 trial, where he was subsequently sentenced, and had deliberately "hidden" his identity because he knew that he was a wanted man.
Rancadore, who worked as a teacher in Sicily, said that he came to Britain legally in 1994, changed his name to avoid being associated with his father and ended all contact with his family abroad.

Yay!Petit Morts1: Sweets to the Sweet hit #1 in Gay & Lesbian literature on Amazon.de, and #7 in Romantic Suspense. You can buy it with worldwide free shipping at The Book Depository.
Taking the leapVJ wrote in my Yahoo group that she'd be interesting hearing my take on "the sheer terror of quitting my day job." Since quitting that pesky nine-to-five ranks very high on the "Yes, please!" list of many writers, I thought I'd share my 10-year journey to self-employment.
Your Living SituationMy first step was to move to a place where the cost of living was less expensive. (This cost-of-living analysis turned out to be flawed, and then an emergency wiped out my savings and I had to grab the first day job I could find...which I ended up staying at for nine years.)
Despite the unforeseen emergency, my move ended up being a useful one, as I was paying a mortgage on a trailer rather than a rent on an apartment, and with some creative financing, I managed to pay it off. Ah! Relief! Now I didn't have as much pressure to earn grownup paychecks.
Can you Do Part-Time?When my first paperback came out in 2006, I cut my day job hours back as far as I could cut them while still retaining my sick days, vacation and health insurance. (I had to pay for half my health insurance, which sucked, but it made my take-home paycheck so low it was added incentive to leave.) Is it possible for you to switch to part-time? What if you did that, and then treated writing as your second job, with as many weekly hours as it would take to reach 40?
(Also, I didn't mention in the cast, but I turned down a promotion at this point as well, both because I knew I'd be miserable as a manager, and I knew that working 40 hours per week would take me farther from my ultimate goal: to be a full-time writer. There was incredible staff pressure to take this job, too, because they knew I'd be an easy manager to deal with. AKA pushover.)
SavingsI wouldn't recommend leaping into writing full-time without half a year's worth of salary saved up. Is there any way you can build your savings faster? Maybe you can cut out some unnecessary utilities. I got rid of my satellite TV and land line. Do you have credit card debt? Pay it off and stop buying anything you don't absolutely need. Think of your savings as your freedom fund.
Expect the UnexpectedRight after I ended my day job, my partner and I split up, and my halved household income was halved again. Because I was well-prepared with a cheap living situation, good writing connections, my own business in place, a good credit rating and no debt, I was able to stay on my path and not go screaming out the door looking for a job flipping burgers. It's fortunate that I wasn't relying on him for my health insurance, though if I had been, I would have done the same thing I did when I lost my day job's coverage: obtain an independent policy.
Jordan's "Ditch the Day Job" Checklist
- Find a cheap place to live
- Pay off your debts
- Save half a year's salary
- Treat writing like a real part-time moonlighting job
- Go down to part time in your day job and increase your writing job hours
- Double up on the jobs as long as you can stand it, but know when to let go
Your AssignmentHow much money do you spend, really? Where does it go? I challenge you to do your budget for the month at Budgetsimple.com and really verify the numbers. Don't estimate. I discovered that I overestimate my income and underestimate my spending. Surprising, since I'm so thrifty!

Cellulite is one of those health issues that have made living a bit uneasy for humans specially ladies.
In high growth countries cellulite is growing quickly and people are looking for a cure. Cellulite has developed into so much an issue of late as a result of which this has got a complete business market of it's own with cellulite treatment stuffs and belts. Cellulite in reality could be treated easily, you do not need to buy high cost cures and pills.
With some natural cellulite solutions and slight change in the lifestyle and eating habits you can eliminate cellulite. Therefore, don't never throw your hard earned money on such stupid cellulite treatments in the market.

History's mad scientists and their obsession with death
The Ancient Egyptians, Vikings and modern Christianity – all major civilisations and belief systems throughout history have had some predications concerning life after death. In contrast to these beliefs others have attempted to stop or, at the very least, stave off death. Just look at the wonders of modern medicine. … Read More

It took only one impulsive moment on an empty two-lane highway to cost her everything.
A man's responsible for his own prosperity—especially if he's Cooper Barnett, the most determined cowboy in the West. No one knows what he sacrificed to claim a piece of Beartooth, Montana, for himself and his beautiful fiancée, Livie. No one knows what he's willing to do for love…until a stranger's twisted vendetta threatens the happy ending they should've had long ago.
One fateful mistake isn't the only secret Livie Hamilton is keeping from her fiancé. Victimized during a treacherous blizzard by a man she thought she could trust, she's pregnant…but unsure who the father is. With an unknown blackmailer threatening to expose her, she must confess to Cooper and trust he'll still protect her. But when the truth falls into place, she may lose the only man she's ever loved—or worse.
NYT and USA Today Bestselling author B.J. DANIELS was born in Texas but moved with her family to Montana at the age of five. Her first home was a cabin in the Gallatin Canyon and later a lake house on Hebgen Lake outside of West Yellowstone.
Most of her books are set in Montana, a place she loves. She lives now in a unique part of the state with her husband and three Springer Spaniels.
When she isn't writing, she loves to play tennis, boat, camp, quilt and snowboard.
There is nothing she enjoys more than curling up with a good book.

FREE book outlines what insurance companies don't want you to know after your injury case
If you've been injured in an accident in Baltimore County, chances are you do not know where to turn. You probably have a lot of questions, and are unsure of how to deal with the insurance adjustor who keeps calling you. That is why Attorney James Katz wrote an extensive how-to book on what to do if you have suffered an accident injury that includes secrets that the insurance company hopes that you will never find out.

Energy sector behind on IT security says IDC
IDC Energy Insights survey shows oil & gas sector growing awareness of cyber threats, but still behind industry standards
Oil and gas companies are lagging behind in formulating and implementing information security policies, despite growing awareness of the need for better cybersecurity.
According to a recent global survey by IDC Energy Insights, only half of the organisations surveyed have an official strategy in place to overcome potential information security threats.
The top three threats that energy sector respondents felt they faces were state or industrial espionage, employee error or accidental loss of sensitive information and vulnerabilities owing to insecure code.
The oil and gas industry is increasingly reliant on information resources, with a move to 'smart oilfields' technologies, integrated operations, and connectivity across multiple sites. The change has led to a greater awareness of the need for IT security, and 50% of respondents felt optimistic about their information security investments, and a growing perception of IT as part of the organisation's strategic functions, but the industry a whole still lags behind cross-industry averages.
IDC also found that security budgets in the sector are either flat or below par, although 55% expect an increase in the next 12 months, that security investments are not driven by compliance, as in other sectors, and that regulatory environment (25% of respondents) is a barrier to ensuring security, as is the increasing threat landscape (20%).
"Information security does matter for business; it is not just an IT operations concern," said Roberta Bigliani, head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa IDC Energy Insights. "In oil and gas companies, awareness of appropriate security policies and best practices is still not good enough. They need to be better prepared to prevent and manage security breaches. This is not the time to reduce the budget for IT security and compliance."

FDLE Orlando investigation results in sexual battery arrest
DALTON, Ga. –Following a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation, Jerald Thomas Jaynes, 52, 2099 Freeport Road, Dalton, Georgia was arrested yesterday by Whitfield County (Georgia) Sheriff's Office on ten counts of capital sexual battery. In September 2015, Jaynes told Whitfield County Sheriff's Office deputies that he had sexual contact with several juvenile victims in the Orlando area in the 1990's.
The Whitfield County Sheriff's Office contacted FDLE to investigate. FDLE agents identified two female victims still living in Central Florida who were between the ages of 8 and 11 when the crimes occurred.
Jaynes was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with capital sexual battery on a child under 12. He was booked into the Whitfield County Jail and is being held without bond. He is awaiting extradition to Florida.
The investigation will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 9th Judicial Circuit.

I'm getting irritated with Troy and Christine – I can get no peace in my flat again. I am retiring early and rising early. I've been smoking dope which has fogged up my sensibilities.
3 March 1981, Tuesday 8.45pm
These entries are stretching further and further apart, but I must persevere. I've already broken my personal record for keeping a diary.
It is raining today. The door is open. Leaves and vines are slapping wetly against each other.
Terry is strengthening the morale of the group again. We are to play on the 26th of this month at the Waltzing Matilda, supporting Johnny Farnham. That will be a splendid occasion [!] – though I shudder to think of the stress it will cause me …
Friday is coming closer. Our bills have been posted. All handbills gone. Dolores is very happy. We're expecting a big crowd. Terry has unearthed a PR guy – a fat queen named Kevin …
On Saturday Craig McGee and his friend Warwick photographed us in and around the stormwater drains of South Yarra. Terry brought his briefcase up at least 500 yards of stuffy, cramped tunnel.
Our cover is finished. I'm on the front. Gus [of course] hated it – made much soul-destroying noise. I came away grasping my head – they all complain to me, these hideous inhuman complainers, and it chills my very spirit.
I'm reading The Tin Drum. It's an excellent book [Oertel gave it to me while my father was dying, I think]
Christine and I had more sex than usual today – once shortly after waking, once while watching television in the afternoon. She described it as my horny day. We're getting on much better now.
On Saturday night, dazed by speed and alcohol, I rose and urinated on Anne and Ed who were sleeping near the foot of our bed. I believed I was pissing into a dark, deep abyss. I awoke during the act and, horrified, cried out 'My heart! My heart!'
I shall work on my crow tonight with Franka, who returned yesterday.
Terry Rogers looked after the Ears through a good percentage of their existence. He was a Kiwi who came to Melbourne with another group he managed, The Marching Girls, [previously The Scavengers,] who consisted of Ronnie Recent [who became Brendan Perry], Des Hefner and John Cook. At the time, Ronnie was going out with Lisa Gerrard, who was fronting a band called Microfilm, but was soon to collaborate with Ronnie on Dead Can Dance. I was fascinated with Lisa for a long time; she was an exotic flower, ethereally beautiful, and already her voice was breathtaking. She also played in a little band called Junk Logic. A mild-mannered freak named Lee Smith hammered an untuned guitar, while Lisa sang and played what may have been her Yangqin. They had a really good song called 'Junk in Cupboards'.
The last time I saw Lisa, she was singing at Wendy's burial under a hellish sun, perhaps ten years ago. Despite her unmistakable voice, I did not recognise her. I did not know that her brother had settled in with poor Wendy. Later, at the wake, I sought her out, aiming to say something about her incredible voice, but wound up staring …
There's something very familiar about you, I said. She replied by saying the same thing. A few seconds later, we remembered; a capsule of very intense time, a long time before …
Terry Rogers also ran the Champion, a gig which was our home away from home north of the Yarra.
Dolores is a promoter. Amongst other things, she used to run the Exford Hotel. I think she's with Chane Chane now, the singer from La Femme.
Franka was a rusted-on hippy chick from the Patch. Many years ago she disappeared into the psychic wilderness of Tunable Falls

LaFemme was our first record release.
Dolores is on Farcebook, but I dare not visit because her daughters are too and they are 'frendz' of my son-in-law and I don't want him or his wife to find me *sigh*
I hope everything comes good for you in 2008
peace and love

and also ... DesHefner of The MarchingGirls was extraordinary.
At a Mishroom Rekkids xmas party in a scout hall on Brighton Beach I witnessed him systematically destroy the place.
It was amazing.
aah The Champion ...

I do bump into des from time to time. He's a calm, friendly individual these days ... not that he was ever much different. he must have been on some bad medicine to go destroying a scout hall. John Cook, however - I found him a little scary

A week in the life of a gay youth in jail
The following is an excerpt from the journal one young man kept to document the harassment he experienced while incarcerated. Sadly, such fear, intimidation and physical danger is too often a regular part of life for LGBT youth in custody.
April 8: The sexual harassment starts again. The staff does things to get the
kids to retaliate against me. Everybody is…verbally assaulting me.
April 9: More harassment today. One staff called me a "stupid faggot." … I tried to complain, but I got ignored.
April 10: Harassment continues, I complain but they don't take it serious, I'm afraid it might get out of hand. Boys are trying to touch me and stuff, but staff does nothing. I feel like I live in hell. This evening was filled with violence… I fear for my safety.
April 11: More harassment. A staff stated "I hate gay people." I got steadily ridiculed [and] verbally abused. I fear them.
April 13: I expressed myself to a counselor but [she] would not do anything. I have told her before. I isolated myself from the kids' vicious behavior.
CA Applauds Commitment to Raise the Age in Governor Cuomo's State of the State Address, Laments No Mention of Racism, Violence, and Abuse in NYS Prisons
(January 9, 2016) New York, NY: The Correctional Association of New York roundly applauds the continued commitment of Governor Andrew Cuomo to raising the age of criminal responsibility in New York, ending the prosecution and incarceration of 16- and 17-year-olds as adults. It is now up to the members of both parties in the NYS Legislature to do their duty to make this a reality. In spite of the Governor's assertion that the "nation looks to NY to find a way up," we actually fall behind 48 other states, along with North Carolina, by continuing to treat children as adults in the criminal legal system. New York must Raise the Age of criminal responsibility this legislative session. Read More
Guest Essay: Raise the Age
New York remains one of only 2 states in the nation treating 16 and 17 year-olds as something they are not — adults— in our criminal justice system. This archaic approach increases the likelihood of more crime, more severe crime, and seriously damages the education, employment and long-term life prospects of our youth, particularly the [...]Read More

Conduit Gallery presents Robert Barsamian: "Bizarro"
Conduit Gallery will present "Bizarro," an exhibition of recent mixed media works by Dallas based artist, Robert Barsamian. Known for his allegorical visual representations of worldwide political conflicts, the first generation Armenian-American artist employs symbolic imagery, pattern and visual fragments in densely layered compositions that play out ageless conflicts of predator and prey as well as aggressor and victim.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through March 25.

For the second straight week, both the Falcons and the Dons pulled off big wins Friday night.
Foothill went to California and soured the Grizzlies Homecoming game with a 24-7 win.
Amador went into Danville and knocked off San Ramon Valley 21-17, once again relying on a defensive stand late in the contest.
The two wins mean all that stands between Foothill and Amador's Nov. 6 clash being for the EBAL title is an Amador win over Livermore Friday night.
In the Foothill win, Matt Gates, Ruben Mercado and Isaiah Floyd all scored touchdowns for the Falcons. Quarterback Ben Wooldridge had a pair of touchdown strikes to Gates and Mercado.
The win moved Foothill to 9-0 overall and 5-0 in EBAL play.
For Amador (6-2, 3-1), the defense stepped up much as it did the week before in a thriller with Cal. This time San Ramon got inside the Amador 10 in the final minute of play, but couldn't find the end zone on four consecutive plays.
On offense, Ledra McCullough ran for almost 200 yards, including a 90-yard touchdown run. Quarterback Ronnie Jones had another good game for the Dons, scoring a pair of touchdowns.
Foothill is off this week with a bye, while Amador plays host to Livermore on Senior Night.
Barring a stunning upset by Livermore -- an argument could be made that a Livermore win would be the biggest upset in EBAL history -- Amador and Foothill will be at Foothill on Nov. 6 with title ramifications.
A Foothill win would give the Falcons the EBAL title outright (they have clinched at least a co-championship), while an Amador win would make it a co-title or perhaps even a three-way tie with Monte Vista depending on how the Mustangs fare against California and San Ramon Valley the next two weeks.
The Amador-Foothill, "Battle for Pleasanton" always produces an overflow crowd and adding the lure of being able to hang a banner with a win will make this one or the ages.
The Foothill High girls' volleyball team capped in a big week by winning the Dougherty Valley tournament last Saturday.
In the championship match, Foothill beat Liberty in two straight to win the title. On the way to the finals, Foothill knocked off Shasta, Acalanes, Mission San Jose, Berkeley and St. Joseph's.
In the finals, setter Kellie Hughes had 27 assists and four service points to lead the way. Kate Goto had 12 kills and Hana Okuhara added eight. Andreea Paduraru, Taylor Campbell and Olivia Larsen also played well in the tournament.
In the week leading up to the tournament, the Falcons knocked Monte Vista from the unbeaten ranks in the East Bay Athletic League in a four-set thriller and dumped California in three straight.
In the win over MV, Paduraru paced the attack with 16 digs, 15 kills and 12 service points. Okuhara added 13 kills, 10 digs and 13 service points and Goto chipped in with 12 kills.
Against Cal, Hughes had 31 assists and 17 service points. Campbell had 20 digs and 12 service points, and finally Larsen added 11 kills and a pair of blocks.
Water Polo
In a thrilling cross-town rivalry Oct. 22, the Foothill boys beat Amador in overtime, 14 -- 13. The Falcons trailed at half time 7-4, but rallied in the second half to leave it 11-11 at the end of regulation time.
In overtime, Sophomore Matthew Dotson gave the Falcons their first lead with a backhand goal. Seniors Joe Schafer and Dominic Scalise added goals in overtime to help Foothill withstand Amador's final push.
Scalise led the offense with five goals, with Schafer and Dotson getting three each. On defense, Fabio Salvioni led the team with six steals, Aaron Li added four with Scalise and Dotson each getting three. Senior goalie Bryan Meyn capped off his final league game with six saves.
