The former head of drug development at Rockwell Medical Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: RMTI) says the company and its chief executive knowingly issued false and misleading press releases and violated other securities laws.
Dr. Richard C. Yocum, who was fired from Rockwell Medical in September, alleged in a wrongful termination suit that he was ousted because he repeatedly complained to its chairman and CEO, Robert L. Chioini, about violations of Securities Exchange Commission and Food and Drug Administration rules.
Rockwell Medical, a Michigan-based company that makes and distributes dialysis products, was the subject of an earlier Sharesleuth story.
Yocum said in his suit that press releases the company put out in 2010 and 2011 made it appear that the clinical trials for a new product called Soluble Ferric Pyrophosphate (SFP) were going better than they actually were.
Yocum was Rockwell Medical's vice president of drug development and medical affairs, and had primary responsibility for the SFP development program.
He said in his suit that Chioini not only ignored his concerns about the trials but caused Rockwell Medical to issue press releases that included statements directly contradicting what Yocum had told him.
Yocum also said that, based on the nature of questions he received from analysts or investors, it appeared that Rockwell Medical engaged in selective disclosure regarding details of those trials.
Because Yocum was fired from his job, which had a base salary of $298,000 a year, he could be viewed as having a grudge against Rockwell Medical. But his allegations are not the only red flags at the company.
Yocum's successor, Dr. Annamaria Kausz, recently left Rockwell Medical after just seven months, adding to the turnover in its clinical-development program. The company provided no explanation for that departure in the press release it issued April 19 to announce the hiring of her replacement. In fact, it didn't even mention her or say that she had resigned.
Sharesleuth also noted that Rockwell Medical took the unusual step last November of extending the life of 400,000 warrants it had issued in the fall of 2008 to a consultant who was later found to have participated in a massive fraud scheme at another public company.
That consultant, Michael J. Xirinachs, was one of Rockwell Medical's co-founders.
The federal judge hearing the SEC's civil case against Xirinachs and his company, Emerald Asset Advisors LLC, last week ordered them to pay as much as $10 million in disgorgement, interest and fines.
The 400,000 unexercised warrants gained more than $900,000 in value after Rockwell Medical pushed back the expiration date by six months, to May 4.
Rockwell Medical's decision to grant Xirinachs and Emerald Asset Advisors the extension – for no additional consideration – sets up the possibility that they could use the additional profits to help offset the SEC judgment.
Rockwell Medical did not respond to a list of questions submitted to its investor-relations representative. In court filings, the company has denied Yocum's allegations and has asked the judge to dismiss the case.

Brown Women's Boots Whisky Jasmine 9880 Donna Piu Nabuk Patch People in Parkville have been busy preparing for flooding and Tuesday the high water began to hit the town.
The sandbags have been in place for a few weeks now in Parkville and flooding threats have become real. Water is pooling in the low points of English Landing Park and is expected to fill the farmers' market in the next week or so.
Whisky Boots Jasmine 9880 Nabuk Brown Donna Women's Piu Patch KCTV5's Bonyen Lee reports that Parkville authorities taped off and blocked all entrances to the park. The Missouri River in the area is at 29 feet. The water could reach as high as halfway up the last line of defense along the railroad tracks but the Parkville Police Chief wants everyone to know the town is still open for business.
"Parkville is still opened and running. There is nothing closed. We are still functioning – restaurants are opening. We want people to come down and have a good time but be a safe time. Stay out of the water," said Kevin Chrisman, Parkville Police Chief.
Parkville is also getting ready for its big Fourth of July celebration starting Thursday. It's still going on, although they've made a few minor venue changes.

Roger Morris House / Jumel Mansion
Roger Morris Park, 65 Jumel Terrace at 160th Street
New York, NY 10032
The Morris-Jumel Mansion dates from 1765 and is the oldest surviving house in Manhattan. It was originally built as a summer retreat for British colonel Roger Morris, one of many built by wealthy New Yorkers when this part of Manhattan was undeveloped. This spot in Harlem Heights is one of the highest points in Manhattan and (before 20th century development) had a clear view all the way to the southern tip of the island and north into Westchester.
Morris left for England during the Revolutionary War and his house was occupied by both British and American forces, most notably by George Washington between 9/14/1776 and 10/20/1776. Following the war, the house served as a popular tavern before being sold in 1810 to Stephen Jumel. Jumel's widow, Eliza, lived in the home until 1865 and the home passed through a succession of owners before being purchased by the City in 1903 and being opened as a museum the following year with the assistance of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
When I visited in the fall of 2007, the house contained nine rooms restored with period furnishings and details similar to the way it appeared in George Washington's day.
This drawing room on the rear of the house was used for parties, dances, banquets, concerts and other social events.
The tilt-top tea table was an example of how furniture of this period was often built to be stored against the walls when not in use to free up room space for other activities. It also permitted moving the furniture near the fireplace for heat or near windows for light.
18th-century dining rooms were usually reserved for formal occasions with ordinary meals served in the parlors or bedrooms. Meals could include as many as eight courses and this table is set for the dessert course, much as it might have been in Washington's day.
The Morris-Jumel House is part of a historic district that also contains this street of lovingly maintained period row houses on Sylvan Terrace just to the West of the Morris-Jumel House.

10 Confessions Of A Circuit City FireDog Technician
A FireDog Technician writes in with the following confessions.
Who is the mysterious dog— and why, oh why, is he on fire?
10. The hiring process doesn't actually have any qualifications required beyond you saying you know what you're doing. Most techs that are hired know little more than the basics, and learn as they go. You can't really have an experienced tech work on your machine, because once you leave, it may sit there for a few days, and who knows who will work on it then. I was required to take my Microsoft Certified Professional exam, but when I failed the first time, that was okay too. I never went back to take it again, and no one said a word.
9. "FD COURTESYCHECK" isn't a real SKU, it means the customer was good looking, and the tech should check to see if they have any "personal" pictures worth keeping. One customer was a professional nude model, over 2,000 images got backed up on to the tech work machine.
8.Nothing they will offer you for installation is worth it. The standard package includes Norton Internet Security, Webroot Spysweeper, and Microsoft Office Home and Student as well as the creation of recovery DVDs and an "optimization". Norton isn't as good as AVG Anti-Virus, available for free. Webroot isn't as good as Spybot Search and Destroy, which is also available for free. The recovery DVDs are made in a few clicks, and could be done by a three year old. Optimization consists of uninstalling some junk programs, and deleting icons off of your desktop. All of this takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and could be done just as easily by you, at home.
7.Protection plans don't always cover anything special. Batteries, for example, are covered by most manufacturers warranties, but are often used as part of the sales pitch when buying a laptop. "If your battery goes out, we cover that too – all you need to do is bring it in and we will replace it free of charge." Often times, this process can take a month and is generally faster to just order it through the manufacturer.
6.Your computer may well sit around for days without anyone looking at it. If we were low on computers to work on, we would often drag repairs out for days past when they should be done, just so we looked busy. If we weren't working on a machine, we would have to go help out on the sales floor. I've seen machines sit for as long as three weeks because of a lack of customers
5.Don't always expect a new part if you try to rush them on a repair. Sometimes, when we had a customer that kept bugging us because a part on his computer was taking forever to come in, we would just swap the part out with one off of a display computer to "expedite things". When the new part would come in, we would just return it as used.
4.Don't expect a call back. The techs don't care about your repair, and it's rare that they will call you for much of anything but to pick it up when it's done. If you want status updates or anything else, even if they tell you they will call, they more than likely won't. Call the store and ask for the tech on duty, you don't need to talk to the one that you turned it in to – they won't necessarily work on it anyway. Also, it's company policy to have a tech on duty, so if someone tells you that they aren't there, chances are they're lying.
3.99% of all software repairs can be completed in a day. There is next to no reason that your repair will take a week, and if you ask for it to get it rushed, they will charge you an extra $20 or more, and put it in line with everything else. Unless you demand same day service, you won't see any special treatment. Even then, it's unlikely to be done the same day.
2.The salesmen know absolutely jack about the computers they sell. Most of them are just high school or college kids that may or may not have any interest in computers at all. A few of they may not even own a machine. The sales training that Circuit City requires everyone to take is 100% about how to pitch things, and 0% how things work or what they do. Do all your homework before you make your purchase, and don't listen to anything they have to say. Many of them will say anything they have to to get you to buy whatever it is they want you to buy. One of the worst I ever heard is that if one woman didn't buy the protection plan the salesman was offering, she wouldn't be able to get any updates for her software. Another man didn't want to buy our anti- virus software, and the salesman told him that he would contract a virus as soon as he plugged it in to the internet if he didn't install one first.
1.Circuit City takes no responsibility for your data. If somehow a tech magically wipes your entire harddrive, the waiver that you sign when you check it in clears them of any wrongdoing. They could quite literally just reformat for the fun of it, give it back to you, and there is nothing you could do about it. Always back up your data before taking it in.

A geocacher "from away" took a canoe trip to the Cunliffe Islands and dropped off a plastic bag containing a slip of paper for a log plus travel bug TBGYE9. Since I was unable to publish the cache page, the travel bug is now stuck at N 46° 43.517 W 069° 22.062.
If anyone goes near that location, I'm sure the travel bug owner would be happy to see it picked up and put back into circulation. The trash - err, cache should be picked up as well.
Thank you.

Fossils of what may be the earliest known ancestor of the human family have been unearthed in Kenya. The bones and teeth are about 6 million years old, at least 1.5 million years earlier than any similar finds, and so their discovery could be a major advance shaking up the human family tree yet again.
They are already shaking up the family of paleontologists.
As details emerged in recent weeks, the age of the fossils was the only aspect that seemed beyond dispute. To assertions by the discoverers that the individual mostly walked upright and was a direct ancestor of modern humans, many prominent scientists have reacted with head-shaking skepticism bordering on disbelief.
These critics think the fossils are more likely to be of a chimpanzee or one of its ancestors. This in itself would be a significant find because the early fossil record of chimpanzees, the nearest relatives to humans, is barren.
But some researchers suspect the growing controversy may be fueled in part by personal animosities and territorial disputes. One of the discoverers, Dr. Martin Pickford of the College de France, has made important enemies in his profession, notably Richard Leakey of the Kenyan fossil-hunting family. Others among Dr. Pickford's critics suggested the newly found fossils might have been collected illegally on the turf of another paleontologist.
On Friday, Dr. Pickford and Dr. Brigitte Senut, an anatomist at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, denied the charge of digging without a permit and said that most of the scientific criticism was coming from paleontologists who had not seen the original fossils or even casts of them.Continue reading the main story
''The newly discovered material probably troubles the established scenario about human evolution and especially evolution of bipedalism,'' Dr. Senut said in an e-mail message from Paris. ''Our findings have been unfairly judged by a few colleagues.''
If the discoverers are correct, the fossils represent a hominid of an entirely new genus and species, which has been named Orrorin tugenensis. Orrorin means ''original man'' in the local dialect. At an age of 6 million years, it could be one of the first hominids living after their split from other lineages leading to apes.
In a journal of the French Academy of Sciences, Dr. Senut and Dr. Pickford, a paleontologist, reported that partial remains of thigh bones bore signs suggesting that the creature ''was already adapted to habitual or perhaps even obligate bipedalism when on the ground, but that it was also a good climber.''
Bipedality, walking upright on two legs, is considered a defining characteristic of hominids, so whether Orrorin could do so is the point of sharpest dispute among scientists. Their conclusion that it could, as well as the fact that its teeth were smaller than those of apes and many other subsequent hominids, persuaded Dr. Senut and Dr. Pickford that Orrorin stood on a direct line leading to modern humans, bypassing intermediate groups such as Australopithecus afarensis, best known by the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton found in Ethiopia in 1974.
The story of early human origins has already been thrown into confusion by a discovery announced last month by Dr. Meave G. Leakey, a paleontologist and the wife of Richard E. Leakey. She reported finding in Kenya the 3.5-million-year-old skull and other fossils of another new genus and species, Kenyanthropus platyops. The skull also appeared to push Lucy off to a side branch of the family tree, Dr. Leakey said. Her interpretation was generally greeted with peer approval, unlike the Senut-Pickford find.
In a carefully worded response, Dr. Leslie C. Aiello and Dr. Mark Collard, paleontologists of University College London, wrote in the journal Nature that the sediments where the Orrorin fossils were excavated, in the Tungen Hills northwest of Nairobi, had been thoroughly studied before and were established to have been laid down about six million years ago.
The oldest previously recognized member of the hominid lineage is Ardipithecus ramidus, based on 4.5-million-year-old specimens collected in Ethiopia. It is not yet clear whether this species walked upright. Dr. Senut and Dr. Pickford contend that Ardipithecus was more likely an ancestor of African apes than of humans. They also cast most australopithecines out of the human ancestral line.
Of the 12 fossils in the new collection, fragments of the upper parts of femurs, or thigh bones, have received the closest attention. The discoverers maintain that the head of the bone is large and humanlike in relation to the size of the neck of the bone. This and other characteristics, they argue, supports the conclusion that this species was bipedal.
But Dr. Alan Walker, an anatomist at Pennsylvania State University who has often excavated with the Leakeys, said he was ''not impressed with their evidence'' for bipedality of the species. Evidence from the lower end of the femur would have been more convincing, he said, but that was missing, and other cited evidence could have contradictory interpretations.
''If Orrorin was not bipedal then neither was Lucy, and we have to go back to the drawing board,'' Dr. Pickford responded. ''In many ways, the Orrorin femur is closer to those of modern humans than they are to Lucy's, and they are quite different from those of chimps.''
Dr. Daniel E. Lieberman, a George Washington University paleontologist, said: ''I swear the fossils are so chimpanzeelike that it's incredible. If it were a chimpanzee, it would be the first record we have of their early evolution.''
Although he said the discoverers were competent researchers, Dr. Milford Wolpoff of the University of Michigan complained of the ''low density of information, not enough to be claiming all this.''
Dr. Andrew Hill, a Yale paleontologist, said he had conducted excavations near the discovery site for more than two decades and still had a legitimate permit that covered the land where the Orrorin fossils were found. He said Dr. Pickford had encroached on his territory by sidestepping usual channels to obtain a permit to work the same land.
Dr. Pickford said he had a research permit that was issued in 1998 by the office of President Daniel arap Moi of Kenya, and it was valid through Dec. 31, 2001. The fossils in question were collected last year. His sponsoring institution was the Community Museums of Kenya, which he had helped found. Previously, all permits were granted through the National Museums of Kenya, where Dr. Meave Leakey is the principal paleontologist and her husband was director for a long time.
Several scientists suggested that personal animosities might be behind much of the controversy. Dr. Pickford and Mr. Leakey once worked together, but had a falling-out that became public in 1985 when Dr. Pickford was barred from the national museum. Eventually, Dr. Pickford co-wrote a book, ''Richard E. Leakey: Master of Deceit.''
In March last year, Dr. Pickford was arrested on charges of collecting fossils without a permit and spent five days in a Kenyan jail. Now he has sued Mr. Leakey, among others, alleging unlawful arrest and malicious harassment.
The debate would probably be equally intense on a scientific level because, paleontologists said, so much -- such as claims of finding the earliest known human ancestor -- is being made of a modest, though fascinating, collection of fossils. Everyone seemed to expect the dispute to last for months, even years.Continue reading the main story

Sona (League of Legends) – Cosplay of the Day
League of Legends never fails to inspire cosplayers to craft costumes and accessories based on the game's many characters. The list of LoL characters and their alternate costumes is seemingly endless, which results in cosplayers donning many different looks. Today, we're going to check out Sona, the Maven of the Strings.
Sona is a character with a fascinating origin: she was found abandoned on the doorstep of an adoption house, resting on top of an unusual instrument. She lived at the adoption house up until her teens, never speaking a word to anyone. One day, a woman named Lestara Buvelle adopted her and showed her how to use the etwahl, instrument that accompanied her during her whole life. She could play beautiful music with it, but she found that she could also use its vibrations to slice things.
Ally-bee is a cosplayer from France and she looks great as Sona, complete with her own version of the etwahl. It's probably not easy to walk around in that ornate dress and that long hair while lugging around the etwahl, so she gets our full marks for this cosplay. She looks lovely as the silent etwahl player and we can't wait to see if she makes any of Sona's alternate costumes.
Check out Ally-bee's other cosplay work on her deviantART and let us know what you think of this Maven of the Strings.

'Arrow' Trailer: DC Villains Come Out and Play
With the first season of 'Arrow' in full swing, the DC characters are going to come out of the woodwork, quite literally in some cases. While we've already been introduced to both Deadshot and China White, tonight will see the introduction of Deathstroke, as well as a mysterious man that we have a hunch will turn out to be a DC character in his own right. Plenty more are lined up for the coming weeks, so how would you like to see them tangle with Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) in the latest trailer?
Oliver Queen will certainly have his hands full (and cuffed) in tonight's episode "Damaged," which will flash back to his time on the island encountering the villainous Deathstroke, but the coming weeks look even deadlier. Courtesy of Entertainment Weekly's new sweeps trailer, we've got fresh looks at all of Oliver's new foes, including Deathstroke, the Royal Flush Gang, the Huntress, and even a returning China White!
No sign of DC's Firefly or even Count Vertigo, though that's to be expected considering the latter role was only announced yesterday. Will Oliver Queen be able to handle the influx of comic book villains? What about the ones on the home front, who caused his mysterious accident in the first place?
Check out the new 'Arrow' trailer below, and tell us what DC characters you're hoping to see in the comments!

This dog house would be much too small for both dogs.
Pet Squeak Support
The sheet lined inner roof refers to the fact that the roof panels are lined with a sheet of plywood.
Pet Squeak Support
No, because this dog house is only rated to support dog up to 80 lbs, this dog house would not be suitable for your 110 American Bulldog.

The goal of EOP's Pre-Collegiate/CommunityPartnerships focuses on early educational intervention to Bay Area elementary, middle, and high schools. EOP also collaborates with SFSU campus organizations and youth agencies. Educational support services include hosting SFSU campus visits, information on college admission requirements, academic planning, and course selection. By encouraging youth to pursue their educational goals, EOP provides a mechanism that enables them to be primary candidates for the program and the university.
San Francisco State Universitys Guardian Scholars Program (GSP) is a comprehensive program of the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), in collaboration with the School of Social Work which serves former foster care youth who are pursuing their undergraduate degrees. Launched in the Summer 2005, the GSP is a new program at SF State that is tailored to fit the needs of undergraduate students who were formerly in foster care. The individual case management services offered will enhance EOPs current academic focus. The Guardian Scholars Program partners with on campus departments, and works with off-campus social service groups to ensure a pipeline for CSU eligible youth in foster care. Each year, the program will serve 10 new students in each fall class. The combined partnership of SF States Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) and the SF State School of Social Work defines a commitment to student success and empowerment with a goal of graduating Guardian Scholars who are self-supporting, conscious community leaders, role models and successful professionals.
Student Support Services is a program at San Francisco State University funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education. SSS was created to increase the retention and graduation rates of 160 low-income, first generation college students and students with disabilities by attending mandatory weekly group tutoring, bi-weekly academic and career advising, monthly study skills workshops, and career and graduate school fairs. The telephone number is (415) 338-2312.
Students can find a strong base of support while pursuing their degrees in SFSU's School of Engineering. This support came about to assist historically under-represented but motivated students who chose to major in engineering. The School of Engineering introduced the MESA Engineering Program (MEP) in 1985.
MEP recruits and retains students in SFSU's engineering program and provides career planning and assistance services. Throughout their studies, the women and men in the program receive academic support, and personal and academic counseling to keep them on track toward their degrees. Success in engineering requires strong foundations in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, chemistry, and physics. The MEP is here to assist.
MEP helps participating students graduate and enter the job market with the skills and confidence they need to succeed as engineers. Often alumni professionals augment the program by serving as primary role models and mentors for students who are beginning to plan their futures.
Students are encouraged to apply for admission to the MEP program. Space, resources, and certain types of assistance may be limited; however, all students are encouraged to contact the MEP for information. All applicants must satisfy the general requirements for admission to SFSU.
The Step to College (STC) Program is a collaborative effort among high schools and the Colleges of Education and Ethnic Studies. STC students are high school seniors who take courses in critical thinking skills, computer skills, and other college preparatory courses for which they receive up to twelve (12) units of transferable credit. The courses are taught by SFSU faculty who familiarize students with the format and structure of university courses. Students who participate in the program also receive help filling out university applications for admissions and financial aid, and when possible, scholarship support.
Step to College increases the high school graduation rates of disadvantaged minority students, helps them make a successful transition to higher education, and increases the college/university retention rates.
Student Outreach Services (e-mail: email@example.com, or call (415) 338-2355) serves as university liaison with other educational institutions and agencies, teachers, counselors, parents, and prospective students. It disseminates information concerning admissions, majors, programs, policies, and procedures. It conducts pre-admissions sessions during high school and community college visitations.
Among other responsibilities, the office participates in educational equity projects, facilitates the EOP application process, and coordinates the operation of the overall university outreach program.
Veterans, dependents of veterans, reservists, and active duty military personnel planning to use their veterans educational benefits, or any student with questions concerning veterans benefits, should contact the Veterans Certification Desk, phone (415) 338-2336.

UNMC pharmacy dean part of groundbreaking HIV research study
Teams with University of Minnesota researchers to better understand workings of HIV drugs
Drugs used to treat HIV penetrate poorly into lymphatic tissues where most HIV replication takes place, and there is persistent low-level virus replication in these tissues according to research from the University of Minnesota and University of Nebraska Medical Center.
The results appear in the latest issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
"We know the drugs we use today are effective because HIV-infected persons are doing better and living longer, but these drugs cannot cure the infection," said Courtney Fletcher, Pharm.D., the first author of the PNAS paper and dean of the College of Pharmacy at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. "We wanted to know why and thought that maybe the drugs were not getting into the tissues where most virus replication is happening."
Dr. Fletcher joined a team with Timothy Schacker, M.D., director of the Program in HIV Medicine at the University of Minnesota and Ashley Haase, M.D., Regents' Professor and Head of Microbiology at the University of Minnesota, to measure drug levels and find the impact on HIV-1 replication in those tissues.
"These are very complex questions requiring expertise from many disciplines to get the data required to understand what is going on," Dr. Schacker said. "This is a great example of the kind of team science we need to make progress in curing this disease."
Dr. Schacker, the principal investigator of the project, assembled a cohort of patients and started them on antiretroviral therapy. He collected lymph nodes and gut samples from these patients at frequent intervals.
Dr. Fletcher used highly specialized and sensitive methods, developed in his laboratory, for measuring drug levels inside cells obtained from lymph nodes and gut tissues.
"The common approach of looking at drug concentrations in plasma may provide misleading information," Dr. Fletcher said. "What is most important to understand is the concentration of a drug actually inside an HIV-infected cell in the compartments where most of the virus is actually produced.
"What we found, in studies conducted during six months of therapy in 12 HIV-infected persons receiving combinations of five of the most commonly used drugs to treat HIV infection was that concentrations inside the cells from lymph tissues were surprisingly low compared with blood."
Dr. Haase then used sensitive methods to precisely measure the amount and location of virus in the lymph node and gut tissues and found the virus continued to replicate in the tissues, even when it was undetectable in blood.
"Most HIV replicates in the lymph and gut tissues and that's where we need to look to understand the efficacy of these drugs," Dr. Haase said. "The ongoing replication we found in the lymph and gut tissues we tested directly correlated with the drug levels found there.
"This persistent low-level replication may be one cause of the chronic immune activation we find in these patients, and is likely an important factor in accelerated aging, increased cardiovascular events and early mortality common in these patients."
Drs. Schacker, Fletcher, Haase and their collaborators are now working on a comprehensive survey of all available anti-retroviral drugs in an effort to identify a combination of drugs that will provide maximum penetration into lymph nodes and more effectively stop virus replication.
"We will not cure this disease until we can completely suppress virus replication," Dr. Schacker said.
Funding for this research project was provided in part by the National Institutes of Health grants AI074340 and AI028433.

NORWALK – The race is on for the Cerritos College Board of Trustees.
Ten candidates are now vying for five seats on the seven-member board for the Norwalk-based Cerritos College. The deadline for filing with the Los Angeles County Registrar's Office was Friday. The winners will be determined in the Nov. 6 general elections.
Two of the candidates, Leonard Zuniga and Carmen Avalos, filed a lawsuit against the college last year claiming its former at-large voting process for electing board trustees discriminated against Latino voters. In March, the college agreed to pay $55,000 to settle the lawsuit.
Cerritos College in December adopted a new plan to create seven trustee areas in a historic change from its previous at-large voting system. This is the first year residents will be voting in trustee areas.
Vying for Trustee Area 1, which represents portions of Downey, Norwalk and Bell Gardens, are incumbent Bob Arthur and Zuniga, a business owner.
Running for Trustee Area 2, which represents portions of Downey, Bellflower and South Gate, are incumbent Tom Jackson and Avalos, a teacher and city clerk for the city of South Gate.
Running for Trustee Area 3, which represents portions of Cerritos, Bellflower, Downey and South Gate, are incumbent Jean McHatton and John Paul Drayer, an educator and Bellflower activist.
Vying for Trustee Area 4, which represents portions of Long Beach, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, Cerritos and Bellflower, are incumbent Ted Edmiston and public policy adviser Marisa Perez.
Vying for Trustee Area 6, which represents portions of Norwalk, Santa Fe Springs and Cerritos, are incumbent Tina Cho and Sandra Salazar, a doctor at a community clinic.

burrows needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 151 designs submitted by 40 freelance designers.
I am open to anything retro. My thinking is along the lines of stars, lightening bolts etc etc.
Desired Color Scheme:
any 2 colours only
Desired Style:
retro, funk. 1970 meets 2008
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
Must be in vector format, and only 2 colours only as the design will be screen printed onto a shirt.
Any colours you wish, but only 2. Am looking for creative use of placement within the T-shirt.
I like the phrase " a look less ordinary" but this doesn'y have to appear on the shirt, just there as an idea.
It is for a womens tee in the age range of 20 - 35 so feminine but not too over the top girly.
Think back to the 1970's!!! I also love the grunge style designs.

From http://www.wcmfa.org/about.htm:
The Washington County Museum of Fine Arts was founded by Mr. and Mrs. William Henry Singer, Jr. and incorporated in 1929. The Museum has a long and impressive tradition of cultural leadership in the Cumberland Valley region, providing residents and visitors with access to an outstanding Permanent Collection and an active schedule of exhibitions, musical concerts, lectures, films, art classes and special events for children and adults throughout the year. A collection of early photographs and history can be found at http://www.whilbr.org/WCMFA/index.aspx. This collection was a joint venture of the Museum and the Western Maryland Regional Library (Whilbr).
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Zaha Hadid has been named as one of CNN's 'Leading Women', receiving worldwide recognition for her design of the Olympic Aquatic Centre, costing £269m to construct, housing two swimming pools and 22,500 seats. The full interview will air on CNN at 10.30 and 17.30 on 29 August 2012, and 05.30 and 19.30 on 1 September 2012.
The Centre has been named by architectural critics as the Olympics 'most majestic' space, and Becky Anderson, CNN, met Zaha at her exhibition space to find out more about her achievements, recent projects, and winning the Pritzker Prize. The hot topic of the interview was, however, why are there so few leading women architects in the industry?
Zaha is indisputably the face of successful female architecture. A household name to those who study and appreciate it, she has created some of the world's most recognisable structures, the Bridge Pavilion in Spain, the Bergisel Ski Jump, Austria, and the Vitra fire station, Germany, to name but three. So why are there so few women at the top?
Zaha responded to the question: "It's very difficult. I really don't understand why […] I don't know... I think that women, once they became more liberated, they want to do everything themselves. You know the woman has to do everything. Work, do the house, the child and I think it's not possible. There is too much to do."
Figures released by RIBA earlier this year as part of the RIBA Future Trends Survey revealed a 7% drop in the number of female architects over the last two years. Perhaps the main struggle for some women, as Zaha suggests, is that they simply have 'too much to do' in the domestic sphere of home-life to become successful architects.
Zaha went on to acknowledge the limitations of being labeled 'woman architect', and commented on her status as 'mentor' to women: "I mean, I used to not like being called a woman architect. I'm an architect, not just a woman architect, because the guys used to tap me on the head and say, 'you are ok for a girl'. But I see the incredible amount of a kind of need from other women for reassurance that it could be done, so I don't mind that at all."

"The market is overbalanced ... Our production in February was 9.125 million barrels per day (bpd), in March it was 8.292 million bpd. In April we don't know yet, probably a little higher than March. The reason I gave you these numbers is to show you that the market is oversupplied," Naimi told reporters.
Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi, April 18, 2011
Does that statement make any sense? Saudi production goes down in the face of rising demand, and prices skyrocket, and that shows the market is oversupplied??? Wouldn't prices have dropped drastically during that period if the market had been oversupplied?
Once again, it seems that Saudi oil production went from 9.125 MMBO/D in February, to 8.292 MMBO/D in March. And remember (as we used to always tell the boss) February is always a "bad month" because it has fewer days. Meanwhile, oil prices increased substantially in March.
You've got to ask yourself, why would Saudi oil minister al-Naimi issue this seemingly nonsensical press release?
Realize that the Saudis are our "partners" in trying to keep the world economy out of the ditch - they know it is not in their best interests to wreck the world economy, else demand for their product (oil) will go down. So, they are not interested in $200 oil, or even $150 oil. As the King said years ago, "You need the oil, we have the oil." In exchange, we no doubt have security arrangements with them, and sell them billions in defense hardware. (According to the WSJ today, Saudi Arabia had $41.3 billion in defense spending in 2009, compared to Iran's $8.6 billion in that year.)
So, back to the question. If the "jig were up" - that is, if the onset of production rate decline was imminent, or even past tense - for the country generally believed to have the world's largest reserve capacity in terms of production rate, as well as the largest remaining reserves, then there might be one more ploy, one that might hold up for a few months (or not). That would be to suggest that you were voluntarily cutting back production rate, rather than it happening despite your best efforts to increase it. Or, put another way, that you were cutting the rate on purpose, rather than it dropping due to the inevitable decline in the production rate of a limited resource, aka Peak Oil.
One other thing: Why would President Obama, in his "energy policy speech" of March 30, 2011, suddenly say we need to do more drilling for oil in the US, embrace shale gas and natural gas vehicles? Previously President Obama only had room for renewables in his public speeches. Continued oil and gas development, utilization of natural gas for transportation, conservation (of primary importance), renewables and sensible clean coal and nuclear make up the bulk of the often touted "all-of-the-above solution". Often touted ... but not by President Obama! Why the sudden shift in "policy"? We already knew the answer, but hearing it from the President sent a chill up our spine, nonetheless. It might be as close to a Presidential Peak Oil admission as we ever get - and likely as close as we really want. It's time to stop petitioning, stop talking about why this or that won't work, and start focusing on what you can do, what your role is in the "all-of-the-above" solution.

Barack Obama has finally said that he is outraged by the positions of long-time spiritual adviser, Jeremiah Wright. This after having famously avowed in his "landmark" Philadelphia speech that he could no more disown Wright than he could disown the black community or his white grandmother. At the time Obama made those remarks, I called him courageous. I guess a downturn in his election prospects was all that was necessary to make him a coward. Or maybe he just hadn't yet learned the music.
The problem, of course, is that Obama's partial defense of Wright in the Philadelphia speech still applies. Obama's analysis was that Wright's hateful statements were an understandable reaction to what he experienced growing up and that, although these statements cannot be condoned, they do not represent the totality of what Wright stands for much less what his church has accomplished. The addition of a few more hateful statements doesn't affect this analysis. The addition of bad election and poll results clearly did.
In revising his position on Wright, Obama relies in part on his pastor's association with Louis Farrakhan. But Wright's admiration for Farrakhan has long been known; publicity over the award Wright presented to Farrakhan pre-dates the "outing" of Wright's sermons. Moreover, it took some pushing by Hillary Clinton just to get Obama himself strongly to denounce Farrakhan.
In any case, Obama's concession (finally) that Wright is beyond the pale arguably raises more acutely than ever the question of how this hatemongering crackpot could have been Obama's spiritual mentor for nearly 20 years.

A few years ago I lived for a time in Southern Oregon.
The state of Oregon has two big cities, a couple of large towns, a bunch of small towns, and a lot of "back woods" area. Back woods was where I lived, the nearest towns were Merlin, Grants Pass and Williams.
The biggest industry in the south of the State used to be logging, but the bottom fell out of that, and now the main source of income for large parts of the rural area is pot growing. I knew senior citizens who grew ten or so plants on their back porch to help stretch the social security check.
But I didn't support myself that way.
I did a fair amount of graphics work of one sort or another, and I taught Pencak Silat to a nice sized group of very dedicated students. I did a few other things as well, nothing very exciting.
I had moved to Oregon because I wanted to rest for a bit, to let my soul heal, The wilderness is always a good place for that, so I got a small house with a fair amount of land around it near the Rogue River, and there I stayed for a little time.
One of my clients was the local herb shop, called (oddly enough) The Herb Shop, down in Grants Pass.
I had started out making them brochures and business cards, then built their web site and a few other things like that. Over time I started doing other work there, sometimes a little consulting, I have a background in herbal medicine from my pencak silat training and a lifelong interest in the subject, but we will save that for another time.
I became good friends with the owner and staff of the shop, and they all ended up in my martial arts class. This was a little amusing, as everyone there was your classic Pacific North West Hippy type, not the kind of people you would think would study one of the more brutal and viscous martial arts on the planet. But it worked out nicely. I think it was mostly because I am a good cook (we used to do class pot-lucks on a regular basis) and I know how to fix backs and sore muscles.
One day I walked into the shop, and discovered a new woman behind the counter. She was interesting for a couple of reason, one of which was she was one of the very few white people I had ever seen who looked good in dreadlocks. And what dreadlocks they were, massive, thick and down to her waist.
I went up and introduced myself, I was always in and out of the shop and I didn't want her to be startled if I popped out of the back room or some such.
She was very pleasant but very reserved, there was nothing much for me to anchor her with in my memory.
I didn't even really catch her name, and for a couple of months I knew her I thought of her as "That Sadhu Girl", because her Dreads reminded me of the Shivite holy men that I used to run across in India.
One day I get a call from my friend Chris. He says "Hey, we are all going down to hear Jen play tonight, ya wanna come?" "Jen?" I inquired. "Yeah, you know, the girl from the Herb Shop." "ah" I said, "the sadhu girl, is she any good?" "I don't know, but it will be more fun than staying at home and watching the grass grow."
So we agreed to meet at a local pub and micro-brewery (Oregon is nuts for micro-breweries) that was the hangout for people who wanted to listen to local talent perform. A couple of friends and myself even played there a few times, but that is another story (The place has since gone out of business, but I don't think it was because of my playing).
Jen was working in a "side man" spot with her guitar for some guy that styled himself as "Nightshade" along with his girlfriend who did backups as well for him. During the break Jen was listed as doing a solo set.
"Nightshade" was terrible!
He was one of those acts that you will only find at the very mellow "local talent" venues in small towns. His mother no doubt knew the mother of the pub owner and used her influence to get him the gig. Any place else and he would have been booed off the stage, but in a local joint like this you just sort of ignore him, for his mother's sake.
His lyrics were badly done narcissistic platitudes about what an anarchist he was.
He wore a dress.
I think it was to show how in touch he was with his feminine side. But if that were the case his feminine side had no fashion sense. The dress clashed with his pumps and he had no idea on how to accessorize.
Whoever set up the sound must have been this guy's only fan (or his mother) because you could not hear anything from the other musicians. I could see the Sadhu girl's hands moving on her guitar, but I could not hear a note she was playing.
By the time their first set was wrapping up I was having a lot of good thoughts about watching my grass grow.
I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings by walking out just then, before Jen had a chance to do her solo thing. It was a small club, she would have noticed. So I figured I would sit and grit my teeth through her set, then, having paid my dues, I could beg off the rest of the evening and go home to check on lawn length.
Jen came back out and sat down, plugged in her guitar, fixed her microphone and started her set.
I remember sitting up in my chair, stunned.
Her voice was sweet, rich, textured. He songs were poetry, original, from the heart. She still had that reserve that I always felt from her, but not as much. She was beautiful.
It was like walking out from some dark, fetid storm drain and finding yourself in a sunlit meadow full of sweet grass. I had never dreamed that there was so much talent in a small dreadlocked young woman.
I think it was in the last third of her second song that I fell in love with her.
I am not talking about the "hey you're cute, let's go to bed" kind of love, or the "hey, I would very much like to own you" kind of love.
This was the "pardon me, you seem to have left a window to your soul open and I accidentally caught a glimpse of who you are, do you mind if I cherish that moment forever?" kind of love.
concurrent with this realization was the understanding that nothing would ever come of it.
There were a couple of reasons.
First, she was already involved.
Second I am sort of old and beat up.
If I were a cat I would not be a regal Siamese, or a cuddly tabby. I would be that cat you see sometimes in the ally, all gristle, scar tissue and attitude. Not something you offer a saucer of milk to.
And she sat there singing, opening up a universe of poetic beauty to anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.
What do you do in a case like this?
I thought about immediately moving to another state, or perhaps out of the country again. But I was not finished with Oregon yet. So I fell back on "The Rules".
These would be how a "gentleman" conducts himself in such a situation.
Rule number one is you never under any circumstances let her get even the smallest hint of how you feel. It would be an unwanted intrusion, an invasion of her privacy.
Number two, become as much of a friend as she will let you be, without intruding, without ever expecting anything from her.
Number three, the most important thing, Support her in being who she is. Help her bring it out in whatever small way you can.
So over the next several months I proceeded to do exactly these things to the best of my ability, it was interesting.
I think we became friends, though I always kept something of a distance from her. I never wanted to get close enough for her to notice that I tended to get a little distracted by her.
I was able, I think to help support her as an artist in some small ways. I made sure that I was able to remind her that her art had value and that people would want to hear her.
I was able to do a few other small things as well. But mostly I just tried to be a friend.
There was a time that she needed to get down to San Francisco. I happened to be driving down at the same time on business and so was able to give her a lift. I managed to get her to talk about herself on the trip, she was usually quite shy and hard to draw out, but for some reason she opened up on that drive. She told me her life story. I came to realize that she was a person of great depth, I could have spent the next thirty years getting to know her, and still never understand the depths of her. She had the soul of a poet, with all of the infinite variation this implies.
At some point she decided to do a CD of her music. She had a bit of money to pay for studio time, so she went for it.
She asked me if I would be willing to help with some of the graphics for the album. I had just finished doing the cover and liner for a local Celtic group called Silverhand and was more than happy to do what ever I could to help.
One of the things she needed was promotional pictures.
Much to my delight I got to spend a day photographing her in all manner of outdoor settings. It was a lot of fun to get my camera to capture even a small part of her essence.
And I got to hear her music as it evolved toward its final form on the CD.
Then bad thing started happening.
George Bush ended up in the White House and the economy of Oregon went into the toilet a few months later. It was getting harder and harder to find work in the area, I was having to go all the way to California to find enough work to make ends meet.
Jen was also having trouble with getting the album finished within budget, and getting someone to do the mixing the way she wanted it. Things were moving slow.
While I tried to keep things together long enough to finish Jen's project it turned out to be impossible and I had to head south to resume various duties I had put aside for a while. I did have one consolation though, I was able to burn the various cuts to the album to a CD. They were not the final mix, but they were what I listened to while working on the project.
In the three years since I left Oregon I have gone entirely around the world, and Jen's music went with me. The music reminds me that there is still beauty in the world, and of a dear friend. Sometime I have played the CD for friends in one of the places my work has sent me, and they have all enjoyed the hearing of it.
Last night I was surfing the web, looking for new music. I hit a site at random and discovered that Jen finished her CD.
If you like Folk Music, you should take a look, have a listen and if you like it get yourself a copy

Goessel Mennonite Church (Goessel, Kansas, USA)
The Goessel Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church USA), a member of the Western District Conference, located in Goessel, Kansas, was founded by members of the Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church, descendants of Mennonite immigrants who came to Kansas in 1874 from Alexanderwohl, Russia, on 15 April 1920, with 177 members, because the Alexanderwohl Church had become overcrowded. Meetings had been held for some time in the Goessel Preparatory School. The church building was erected in 1920. Peter P. Buller (1874-1958) and Peter Buller (1863-1956) came into this congregation as ministers when it was organized. Peter P. Buller was immediately named leader and served the congregation as elder 1924-1950, succeeded by Orlin F. Frey 1950-1954 and Leo L. Miller 1954- . The membership in 1953 was 317. Of the 585 who have been members, 278 were baptized here and 307 were received from other congregations.
An educational wing was built in 1960 and a new sanctuary in 1972. In 2008 the membership was 164; the pastor was Michael Hiebert.

Today on MSNBC, McCain declared the Obamas deserve an "emoticon" of privacy, then repeated the word in case anyone didn't hear her. Feel free to speculate on what that might look like in the comments.

Double Creek
Watershed Project
The Double Creek Watershed Project consists of six flood control dams in a 38,000 acre watershed located in southern Washington County. The dams were constructed between 1954 and 1955 by the Caney Valley Conservation District with the assistance of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. NRCS provided assistance through a national pilot watershed program authorized in the 1944 Flood Control Act.
The primary purpose of the project is to control flooding, erosion and sedimentation. The dams provide flood protection for U. S. Highway 75, a major transportation route between Tulsa and Bartlesville, the town of Ramona and 3,800 acres of rural land downstream of the dams.
Before the dams were constructed the watershed had a long history of frequent and severe flooding. Between 1917 and 1936, flood water from 36 major floods covered more than 50 percent of the 3,800 acres of floodplain and there were 43 smaller floods during that period.
Watershed Project Benefits
$70,000 in average annual benefits from reduced flood damages
Provides flood protection for 3,800 acres of floodplain
Provides flood protection for bridges, county roads, U. S. Highway 75 and a major railroad
Provides flood protection for 60 farms and ranches
Provides flood protection for public facilities, businesses and homes in Ramona
Impounded water has created fish and wildlife habitat, waterfowl nesting areas and livestock water
The Double Creek Watershed Project is one of 129* projects in Oklahoma that have been planned and implemented by local people with assistance from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Oklahoma Conservation Commission.
2,107 NRCS-assisted flood control dams have been built in 61 Oklahoma counties. These dams provide over $81 million in average annual benefits in reduced flood damages, reduced erosion and sedimentation, improved water quality, and municipal water supplies.
For additional information about watershed projects in the state visit the Oklahoma Conservation Commission website at: http://conservation.ok.gov or visit your local conservation district and NRCS office.
Double Creek Watershed Dam No.1 after it was rehabilitated.
Rehabilitation of Dams
The six dams were rehabilitated between 2004 and 2009. This was the first complete watershed project in the nation to have all the dams rehabilitated. Rehabilitation included removing and replacing the principal spillways, raising the height of the embankments and widening the auxiliary earthen spillways. Rehabilitation brought the dams up to current dam safety criteria and extended their life for another 100 years.
This is one of 129* watershed projects in the state where local, state and federal government agencies have worked together to utilize the Natural Resources Conservation Service Watershed Program to address natural resource needs and improve the quality of life for thousands of Oklahomans.

By Matthew Heimer
The Internal Revenue Service today reported its annual inflation adjustments for 2013, publishing tables that show the cut-off points for different federal income-tax brackets, along with adjusted amounts for standard deductions and other tax credits. The new tax tables also spell out the impact that the new top tax bracket created by the fiscal-cliff compromise will have on the highest-income tax payers. Married couples filing jointly who make more than $450,000 will face a base tax rate of $125,846, the IRS reports, "plus 39.6% of the excess over $450,000." For the full range of rates, see the 2013 tables.
Below that top bracket, the changes in the bracket cut-off points are anchored to the overall inflation rate, and most of the relevant thresholds increase this year by about 2.6% from 2012 levels. As is usually the case, the new brackets give some taxpayers something to file under "V" for "Very Small Victories." If your income doesn't go up in 2013, you'll probably pay slightly less in taxes than you did in 2012.
Here's why: As the tax-bracket cut-off points rise, people whose income doesn't increase owe less tax overall, since a higher proportion of their income is taxed at lower rates. Retirees on fixed incomes, in particular, can benefit from this. The Social Security cost-of-living-adjustment for 2013 is only 1.7%, so a retiree whose other 2013 income stays the same as in 2012 is that much more likely to experience a modest reduction in taxes. (The key word here is "modest": For most this is nice-lunch money, not new-sports-car money.)
For a married couple filing jointly, the 15% tax bracket now kicks in at $17,850, up from $17,400 in 2012; the 25% bracket begins at $72,500, up from $70,700; the 28% bracket starts at $146,400, up from $142,700. See more of the new rules here.

JamieJamison needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 24 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
I need a template that can be used with Dreamweaver (so the file can be a Dreamweaver file, a Photoshop file, or a Fireworks file) for a home page, a set of gallery pages (same theme for all, but different content), and content pages. The site is for a ranch in Wyoming.
High Island Hunting
We just picked a logo from a recent contest. Now, I need a site template that I can take and edit in Dreamweaver to complete the project. The template should contain a home page with navigation, a gallery template (main page with a designated photo for each gallery represented, and a page that will be used for the galleries themselves), and a content page template that will be used for the content pages of the site.
The site will have three main sections - The Ranch, The Game, and The Hunt, which goes with the tagline you'll see on the logo linked to above. Use a color scheme that works with the logo.
I have the entire Adobe Creative Suite, and I will be using Dreamweaver to finish the coding of the site. I'm open to Flash animations if you want to include them for photos or navigation, but they are not required.
I will be working with an owner throughout the process, and I will be providing feedback from him as designs are submitted. When we have enough initial designs that I feel like I can show him a graphical comp, I will get his initial feedback and selection for the basic look and then complete the work with that designer for the price of this contest to flesh out all the templates. So all you have to submit for this contest is the home page template, but the price is for the development of all the templates I mentioned above.
- Home Page template - should include navigation/sub navigation to the three main sections of the site (The Ranch, The Game, The Hunt) as well as site level navigation to a gallery page, testimonials page and a contact page. There should be an area of this page for highlighted items (with some sort of image or icon) and headings/text about the ranch.
- Gallery Page template - a main landing page that will display one photo for each gallery that links to that gallery. These will be used throughout the site in various places, including a photo gallery for the ranch in general, one for each of the game animals, etc. So the individual galleries have to be linkable directly, and the landing page will be linked from the site level navigation.
- Content Page template - this template will be used for all the content pages of the site. It should be relatively flexible and allow for headings, etc.
- Please make sure you look at the logo for ideas about color scheme and basic feel. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
- File submitted as either Dreamweaver site, Fireworks files, or Photoshop files with all possible graphics as vectors and no layers flattened unnecessarily.
- We will be substituting photos of our own throughout the site - there are no plans to purchase stock photos unless the photos are so perfect that we would be silly not to. I hope that makes sense. Just keep in mind that the photos in your designs on the home page will probably be replaced with suitable images of the actual ranch that I have to scan and insert.
I'm pretty open to ideas. Please let me know if you think of something I haven't yet.
