Greetings from Mike Boulland:The Friends of Santa Teresa Park welcome you and your family to our web page. We welcome you to participate in our service activities to make Santa Teresa Park a gem in the Santa Clara County Park system. Please use this web page to find out about our various activities.
We invite you to explore and walk in the evening after work along the foothill trails to visit some of the most scenic sites in the entire Santa Clara Valley. Hopefully, you will visit our majestic waterfall trail and eat a snack at its base. Included, in our invitation is a walk to the upper meadows. We encourage you to sit in the shade of the Pueblo area and enjoy watching the various wildlife animals graze on the wild vegetation. Those of you who like views may take an enjoyable hike up Coyote Peak to get a vista view of the whole county. The trail's scenic views can stretch the boundaries of your eye from San Mateo to Morgan Hill.
We encourage you to use our web site to help you and your family gain information about our activities and events. We are a growing organization, whose members are dedicated to improving Santa Teresa County Park's resources for the public to enjoy.
Join us on our trail building day events, historical adventures, docent activities and other park service projects. We welcome all the volunteers we can muster. In the future we will need lots of volunteers to help us establish a docent program for the Joice-Bernal Museum site.
Our organization is recognized with the County of Santa Clara Volunteer program and we can offer you and your family an opportunity to volunteer for fun service and be rewarded with a free County Parks parking pass.
We meet monthly on the first Thursday night at 7:00 in the upper Santa Teresa Golf Course Upper Clubhouse/Banquet Facility.
Vision Statement: Our Vision is to help protect, enhance, maintain and restore Santa Teresa Park and the surrounding neighborhood through education, volunteer involvement, coordination, and communications with the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department Staff, the City of San Jose, and the greater community.

Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's third oldest nameplate presently in production. Initial sales forecasts projected less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered throughout the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed.
Buy Classic Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, but several changes were made at the conventional opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some models, the introduction of alternators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made adequate difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has withstood with perfectionists. Mustangs For Sale in Rockford MN are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was likewise the very first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were having to take on imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller sized than the first variation but, due to the additional devices needed to satisfy new US emission and security policies, was heavier than the first design. Efficiency was lowered and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold.
Second generation Mustangs for sale in Rockford MN were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based on the larger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body designs available included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace vehicle and Ford developed 10,478 celebratory replicas. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

Corby's sister released from hospital after bashing
Denpasar, Bali: SCHAPELLE Corby's sister Mercedes was released late yesterday from hospital in Bali after being bashed early on Saturday morning amid rumours that she and her Balinese husband Wayan Widyartha have split.
But Mr Wayan later told Fairfax Media at the family compound: "We're still together — people [just] say things".
He indicated that Ms Corby was still in distress after the attack, in which she was set upon and "bashed by the robbers".
Ms Corby reportedly sustained a broken nose, bruising and internal bleeding to the cornea. She checked into hospital on Saturday and had surgery on her injured nose.
Mr Wayan said seven men had attacked his wife in one of Kuta's narrow streets, Jalan Poppies 2 and tried to steal her bag. This differed from his report to police on Saturday afternoon, when Mr Wayan said she was attacked because she confronted a number of men over obscene
comments they made in the Balinese language, which she understands.
The police chief of criminal investigation unit one at Kuta police, I Dewa Tagel, said Mr Wayan had made no mention of robbery as a motive for the attack in his initial report.
Mr Wayan also told reporters yesterday that an Australian man living in Bali had witnessed the assault and had helped Ms Corby. In his report to police, there was no mention of that man — he told them she had walked by herself several kilometres home.
The Australian man, who was at Mr Wayan's family home on Tuesday afternoon, refused interviews as he left, but was reported to have said Mercedes had "blood all over her face and her eyes were closed".
Mr Wayan said he was angry and was looking for the men who had assaulted Mercedes.
Police chief Dewa said the investigation was still in its early stages because "other than a report which states the location, there is no physical description of the people other than that they're men and they speak Balinese".
Mr Wayan insisted his wife was still living with him in the family compound in Kuta even though other sources were adamant that she had moved out several weeks ago and had told friends she was house-sitting at another location.
The state of their relationship is important to Mercedes's imprisoned sister, Schapelle, because Mr Wayan and Mercedes have promised to take care of her physical and psychological needs if she is granted parole.
Last week the governor of Kerobokan prison released a letter written by Mr Wayan promising to have Shapelle Corby to live in his home, to help her financially and with her "morale," and to oversee her education as "a responsible citizen" until her sentence ends in 2017.
Along with a controversial guarantee letter from the Australian government, this will be an important part of Corby's parole bid, because without Mr Wayan's Indonesian citizenship there would be no way Schapelle Corby could fulfil Indonesia's strict residency requirements.
Her lawyer has said that, until the residency issue can be sorted out, Corby will not lodge her application for parole.
Corby's parole was already in doubt under tough new laws in Indonesia which require her for the first time to say she was guilty of importing cannabis to Indonesia in 2004, and to show her willingness to inform on others as a "justice collaborator".

The Police Log is a digest of reports filed by the Warwick Police.
A Cranston man was arrested at the Sears store in the Rhode Island Mall and charged with felony shoplifting on Nov. 11. Security at the store told Officer Stephen Major they had video of the man selecting fragrance and clothing and concealing them before walking out of the store without paying for the goods. They said they confronted the man outside and he became aggressive and they restrained him and held him for police. William M. Platt, 52, of 44 Vinton Ave. in Cranston was charged with felony shoplifting after police learned he had three prior shoplifting arrests and convictions.
Two women were charged with shoplifting at TJ Maxx on Bald Hill Road on Nov. 14. Loss prevention agents at the store told Officer Geoffrey Waldman they recognized the women as known shoplifters when they entered the store and began to keep them under observation as they selected various items of clothing and concealed the goods in their handbags and then paid for some toys and left without paying for the concealed goods. Ivelisse Figuereo, 33, of 20 DeSoto St. in Providence was charged with misdemeanor shoplifting for $68.94 worth of goods, and Raquel Figuereo, 35, of 86 North Rd. in Richmond, was charged with a felony for shoplifting $114.95 as a habitual offender.
Officer Jason Brodeur reported going to the JC Penney store in the Warwick Mall on Nov. 15 for a shoplifting suspect being detained there. Loss prevention told Brodeur they watched the woman walk around the store with a USB mini-vacuum before she walked out of the store without paying for it. She told the store she was on her cell phone with her sister and forgot she had the item under her arm. The loss prevention people said she told them she would have taken something worth more than that $18 if she intended to steal something. Sandra M. Santagata, 55, of 4 Audrey Dr. in Johnston, was held for the bail commissioner.
A Warwick man came into headquarters on Nov. 10 to report that he lost a $2,000 Mac Book Pro 13 laptop at the Starbucks on Airport Road and gave a written statement:
"Was at Starbucks Warwick Airport Road at approximately 6:00 pm. Went in with my laptop bag containing my Mac laptop, various other things like gum, a book, a few pens, etc. Left without my bag. Remembered by the time I got home. Went right back, and it was gone. Left number with store. Mac Book Pro 13 with serial #C17FMCP6DH2G. Black messenger bag Swiss Army."
Officer Eric Lima said the man told him he needed the report for insurance purposes.
A Greenwich Avenue man told police he left his Dodge Ram pickup parked outside his apartment on Nov. 11 and returned to it the next day and found it had been keyed from the front to the back and around, and had two flat tires. There were no witnesses or suspects.
A Perkins Street resident went to headquarters on Nov. 11 to report that he went out to his vehicle that morning and found that, sometime overnight, someone had walked or jumped around on the car, leaving footprints on the rear bumper, the hood and the roof, along with small dents indicating someone walking or jumping on the car. No suspects or witnesses.
Police were dispatched to Warner Brook Drive on Nov. 13 for a report of yet another incident of vandals. The owner of a black 2010 Lexus SUV said she was at home when a neighbor notified her that the back window of the vehicle had been smashed with some unknown object. There were no witnesses or suspects.
Police reported a bike stolen from an address on Vickery Street on Nov. 11. The owner of the bike told police he last saw his bike when he left it in front of the house around 11:30 a.m. and when he came back around 1:30 p.m., the bike was gone. He said it was a 27-inch Mongoose 21-speed worth around $200. There were no witnesses or suspects.
A woman who lives at 725 West Shore Rd. told police she noticed that her son's bicycle was missing from her front yard on the morning of Nov. 14 and later noticed that two other bikes that were normally kept behind her apartment building were also missing. She said her son's bike was worth about $50 and she guessed that the other bikes were probably worth $100 each. No suspects or witnesses.
Officer Stephen Major reported he was on patrol around 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 13 when he saw a white Dodge with Massachusetts plates traveling very near Post Road and Main Avenue. He said he fell in behind the car and clocked it at 52 mph as it wove between lanes and almost hit other vehicles. Major said he activated his siren and lights and pulled the car over at Dave's Bar and Grill on Post Road. He said the driver appeared to be intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. He said the driver failed a field sobriety test and was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. Major said Rick Cardello, 49, of 3034 W. Main St. in Alhambra, Calif., refused a breath test at headquarters. He was charged with laned roadway violations, speeding, DUI and refusal and later released on $1,000 surety bail.

RSA needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 110 designs submitted by 44 freelance designers.
Endpoint Strategies, LLC
A wildlife ecologist retired from Federal government, I am bringing my analytical and strategic thinking skills, a well as my innate creativity, into the business world. My new consultancy will work with start-ups, very small businesses and small non-profits. Specifically, I offer strategic planning, problem analysis, and decision support. I want to help clients succeed by focusing their resources on the most productive activities. I want them to do the right things in the right places and in the right order for the greatest benefit. Peripherally, I will also plan and facilitate meetings on an individual basis, but this would not be a core activity.
My target audience would be three groups: (1) Individuals who have recently launched a small business or non-profit, or who are thinking of doing so; (2) Long-standing small businesses and non-profits who want to grow, or who have specific problems they are dealing with; and (3) Larger organizations (companies, corporations, or government agencies) who need help planning and implementing specific projects.
(1) Symbolically illustrate "logic" working in concert with "creativity." We think of these in opposition to one another, but I offer a unique combination of both. I logically assess a problem or situation to identify context, cause and effects. However, I then use creative, out-of-the-box thinking and unexpected associations to offer a range of ways to address that problem. I want a logo that expresses that synthesis. I'd like it to be a tool I use with clients to describe what I do.
(2) If possible, I'd like to illustrate the idea of a "process" (perhaps a confusing process, or a state of confusion) leading to a clearly defined "endpoint." (Thus, the name of the company).
(3) No cartoons. I want an image that evokes professionalism and confidence while not being sterile. I do not like the cold, stark nature of logos associated with engineering firms; but nor do I want something cartoonish.
(4) No bright colors. Use warmer earth tones, preferably dark, "charcoal" type shades such as brick reds, terracotta, grays, or similar tones of greens and yellows. While Endpoint Strategies will not be restricted to natural resources work, these earth-derived colors reflect my nature as an ecologist. I am very close to the earth.
(5) Use the full name of the company: Endpoint Strategies, LLC.
(6) I prefer the logo to the left of name, but will consider anything.

Historical school, chapel on display during summer open house
CLAYTON TOWNSHIP — Just because school's out during the summer doesn't mean there's nothing to learn. On June 20, The Berry School and Bowen Chapel, both located on the corner of Maple Ridge and Dobler roads in Clayton Township, will be open to visitors during a free open house/picnic.
"I'm hoping they (open house visitors) can see how the school is restored, how it was back in the 1950's and in those times," said Sandra Bowen, who along with her husband Roger, own of the chapel and school and were instrumental in restoring the structures. "They can go in and look at the chapel, the way we put it back together."
Last year, Roger and Sandra paid to have the 120-plus year old Maple Ridge Presbyterian Church, which was slated for demolition, moved out to the corner and share a lot with the Berry School, a historical school once attended by Arenac County students.
"Maybe for a lot of people, it'll bring back a lot of memories," Sandra said, adding those who attended either the school or the church, which is now used as a wedding chapel, may want to stop by and reminisce inside the structures.
But outside, rain or shine, Sandra says there will be some action as well.
"If you come, you're supposed to bring a dish to pass and something to drink. … It (open house) is sort of like a picnic," she said. "We'll furnish the tent, we'll furnish the ice and meat."
While attending the event, visitors may want to also comment to Sandra and Roger on what else they would like to see on the corner, as Sandra says some ideas are being thrown around.
"Roger wants to build a saloon," she said. "I would like to have an old fashioned cottage put over there.
"That's in the future."
Sandra added that last year during an open house, approximately 125 people stopped by to admire the historic buildings. This year, she's expecting 150 people.
"People don't need to bring any money," Sandra said. "If they don't want to eat or anything like that, they can just come and look at the chapel and the school house."
She added that the event will begin at 11 a.m. and lunch will get started at noon. There is no set end time for the open house. For more information, call 989-654-3249.

Mary, far left, with the Sisal Sisters borrower group in Kakuyuni, near Tala, Kenya
The second day I was in Kenya I had the good fortune to spend the day with KADET staff profiling the top loan officer at the agency, Mary Ngenya, who works in the Tala region. Mary is considered THE BEST of approximately 80 loan officers in the entire organization which has offices all over Kenya; she manages one of the largest loan portfolios in the organization and in the six years since she's been with KADET, her portfolio has consistently had the fewest loans at risk, known as Portfolio At Risk (PAR). So what makes Mary so great?
People skills. Her borrowers, like David, the first officer of his borrower group, praised her ability to relate to them.
David, first officer of the Raizi borrowers group, praises Mary's people skills
Business Savvy. Not only does she take the time (and it's a lot of time since she travels to rather remote areas down rough roads by motorcycle taxi) to visit her borrower groups frequently, she also learns their strengths and skills by observing and listening to them and the rest of the group. As she gets to know them, she may make business suggestions. A great example is Elisabeth, mother of two, widow, caretaker of orphans, and the leader of Sisal Sisters in Kakuyuni, near Tala. Mary identified her strong but quiet leadership skills as well as her baking skills and Elisabeth is now preparing to sell her baked goods to others.
Mary and Elisabeth conferring during a group meeting
People skills. This just can't be emphasized enough. The Sisal Sisters in Kakuyuni shared with us that Mary encouraged them all to be honest and up-front with their husbands and families about their business loans. They felt their honesty had been rewarded with more open communication from their families resulting in a more harmonious home life.
Elisabeth with the baskets she makes when she isn't farming, working, or looking after family
After completing the profile of Mary, the KADET communications officer, Katherine, will share her "best practices" with all the other loan officers to help them improve their own performance.
Seeing loan officers like Mary, who care deeply about their clients and their success, makes me believe in the power of one person to make a difference. If you are a believer in the power of one, you can join KADET by making a loan to one of their borrowers.

Indiana Information Systems (IS) Graduate Schools
Graduate degree seekers can choose between Information Systems Schools that offer a broad business curriculum or a more tech-driven one. The elements of an information system are customers, business processes, products services and communication technology. A graduate degree in IS could therefore help students learn to build both shrewd management skills and technical software and hardware expertise. Consequently, students should look for a university that provides the balance in coursework that reflects their professional goals.
Information Systems Schools | Information Systems Graduate Programs
Information Systems Schools offer Masters, Doctorate and Certificate programs in computer information systems (CIS) and management information systems (MIS). Management Information Systems (MIS) Schools tend to provide curricula that melds business administration, IT strategy and data analytics.
Computer Information Systems (CIS) Schools by contrast, might offer more in the way of technical coursework in computer science, database technology and software development. Either way, students study how to lead teams, think critically, and solve complex issues through the tools and methods they study.
Masters in Information Systems Schools
Schools for Masters in Information Systems programs award Master of Science (MS) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees. Most programs require students to complete about 30 to 36 credits and entail a thesis, final project and some form of summer internship.
Applicants do not necessarily need to be computer science majors, but are presumed to have earned a bachelors degree and must meet school and program prerequisites. That said, you should refer to individual universities to check admissions requirements.
Master of Science in Information Systems (MSIS) programs tend to prepare students for IT leadership.
Management information systems explores the structure of IS in an enterprise. Components of MIS include human resources, software, hardware, files, databases and telecommunication. Other levels of MIS include business decisions and organizational plans. Students might therefore learn to design, implement and manage complex systems and IT projects from start to finish.
MBA programs tend to cover key business and operations courses. For instance, students might take courses in corporate finance, economics, statistical analysis and business law. From there, MBA students focus coursework in an information systems emphasis. Consequently, they might explore some of the technical courses from an MSIS program such as data analytics and cybersecurity.
Doctorate in Information Systems Schools
Schools for Doctorate in Information Systems award terminal degrees such as the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Doctor of Computer Science (DCS) and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). Most programs entail advanced coursework, research methods and completing a final dissertation or doctoral project. Applicants may need to have a masters degree in a related field, though admission requirements could vary and it is best to check with each university.
PhD in Information Systems programs are research focused. Students are usually asked to develop breadth and depth of knowledge in all areas of technology, leadership and business. Then, immerse themselves in independent research to be able to contribute new insight to their field.
Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programs often build on master's level skills. They usually aim to develop students' ability to conduct action research and grasp advanced theory. Coursework might therefore expand on topics such as marketing strategy, operations management, corporate and global finance. Information systems courses then add focus for further coursework and research on a relevant theme. Unlike the PhD, DBA programs encourage students to make use of the existing literature to help solve an industry problem.
Doctor of Computer Science (DCS) programs are the more technical of the doctoral degrees in information systems. Along with intensive research and written work, students may have the chance to explore several topics in-depth. Coursework might cover topics such as high-level design issues and security measures in distributed systems. Students might also learn to develop a software process improvement plan for an organization as well as to design, test and implement an experiment.
Graduate Certificate in Information Systems Schools
Some universities award graduate certificates in information systems. These programs tend to be shorter than a full graduate program, though they involve graduate-level courses. Courses are usually focused around a singular theme. Thus, students could explore new trends in their field or study to refresh their skills in preparation for a career change. For instance, a certificate in information systems could offer a series of four courses that target business intelligence, security, IS management and internet technologies. You may need to have earned a Masters degree in order to apply for graduate certificates in information systems. Thus, in some cases, a certificate might be used as a platform to pursue further education at the doctoral level.

A recent Gizmodo story, "Are Cameras the New Guns?," created quite a stir in journalism circles recently. Gizmodo found that there appears to be an increase in the number of citizens arrested for filming abuse by police, or just police in action:
"In response to a flood of Facebook and YouTube videos that depict police abuse, a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least three states, it is now illegal to record any on-duty police officer.
"Even if the encounter involves you and may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public street where no expectation of privacy exists.
"The legal justification for arresting the 'shooter' rests on existing wiretapping or eavesdropping laws, with statutes against obstructing law enforcement sometimes cited. Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland are among the 12 states in which all parties must consent for a recording to be legal unless, as with TV news crews, it is obvious to all that recording is underway. Since the police do not consent, the camera-wielder can be arrested. Most all-party-consent states also include an exception for recording in public places where 'no expectation of privacy exists' (Illinois does not) but in practice this exception is not being recognized."
I interviewed media attorneys Robb Harvey and Richard Goehler about this via e-mail. I have known Harvey for a couple of decades, dating back to when he represented my newsroom when I was news director. And I recently worked with Goehler on a Radio Television Digital News Association committee that wrote social media and blogging guidelines for newsrooms. You can read their edited responses below.
Al Tompkins: Are you seeing any new sensitivity by police to being photographed/videotaped?
Robb Harvey: The police have always been sensitive to accusations of wrongdoing or overreacting. I believe they are reacting to emerging technologies that allow millions of people to record events in real time, so we are likely to see more postings claiming misconduct and more efforts by police to prevent those postings.
The recent prosecutions mentioned in the Gizmodo article involved participants in the police action — persons being arrested or later charged. The video they have taken may be their best defense to the charges. Is the next step that law enforcement can prosecute recordings by bystanders? If that were the case, the widely disseminated video of the assault on Rodney King might never have seen the light of day.
Media organizations must remain vigilant and work to prevent the application of these laws in an unconstitutional way.
Richard Goehler: I would not say that I have seen any "new" sensitivity by law enforcement or firefighters here. In the past, I have heard about instances where police might confiscate or threaten to take a camera or recorder, but I would not call it a major newsgathering problem or interference.
I found the Gizmodo article very interesting. It seems to me that most of the cases highlighted in the article involved circumstances in which the videotaping or recording was of alleged abuse and/or improper conduct by the police. As a result, the police appeared more aggressive and more motivated to take action concerning the videotaping.
Often it appeared that the actions by law enforcement were in direct retaliation for the videotaping that had taken place. It was also interesting that these cases all took place in states or jurisdictions that have "two-party consent" statutes that let police officers make the argument that they had not consented to the videotaping.
Another interesting point about the cases in the article is that none of them involved traditional/mainstream media companies/reporters/videographers in their news gathering efforts. My sense is that law enforcement, even in a "two-party consent" state or jurisdiction, would be very cautious about trying to pursue claims like this against the media because doing so would surely bring a huge amount of attention and publicity with plenty of amicus support from other media organizations and journalism groups like theReporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and theSociety of Professional Journalists.
What legal advice would you give to a journalist who wants to record video of an officer in action?
If at the scene, a police officer orders that you move or position yourself in another place so as not to interfere, be prudent and use some good judgment. If you think you are being picked on and these orders are some type of retaliation by the officer, keep your head about you and continue to roll the tape while the officer directs you to another place, but try to keep the situation from escalating to the point where the officer writes you up for interfering with official police business. We may ultimately beat that ticket on a number of grounds, but it will likely mean lawyer time and effort with court appearances, etc.
The next thing I would recommend would be whenever possible, make sure that your news gathering efforts are open, visible and on public property. This will give you the best possible legal position or defense to any claim by a police officer for invasion of privacy (which truly is a merit-less claim), and/or any claim for illegal eavesdropping/recording under the most current state or federal statutes. Using cameras and other equipment with station logos, and having a marked news vehicle in the vicinity, will help in building a successful defense.
Harvey: From my observation, some police officers can be, shall we say, hyper-vigilant about the area around a crime investigation and can be quick to leap to accusations of "obstruction of justice" or "interference" with law enforcement.
Journalists should take care to … observe the "perimeter" established by the police. Identify yourselves as members of the media. If you are where you have a right to be, and are not violating someone's privacy interests or some statute or regulation banning coverage of undercover officers, then you should have sound grounds to challenge efforts to restrict your reporting.
Sometimes a journalist will receive an order from a police officer that the journalist believes the officer lacks the authority to issue. The officer can still make an arrest or issue a citation — so exercise good judgment and take it up with the officer's superior when things calm down.
Would your advice be any different for a person who is not working for a news department, but might be acting as a sort of citizen journalist?
Harvey: The law in the United States has not kept up with the role of citizen journalists. Many states will not even recognize them as news gatherers, or accord them the constitutional privileges and legal protections that journalists have. I would tell citizen journalists not to expect, or insist upon, special treatment.
Goehler: I don't think my legal advice is really any different here. I think that whoever is doing the information gathering — whether it be a news reporter, a photographer, a citizen journalist or the passerby on the street — should be careful not to interfere with the activity of the police and should, whenever possible, be visible and on public property at all times. That will provide the person with the best possible legal position or defense to any of the claims discussed above.
I also think that even with today's technology, it would be difficult for a police officer to make some type of claim that the recording done by a typical hand-held device was somehow an improper "surreptitious" or secret recording when it is done in the manner recommended above.
I do think, though, that there are some practical tips for citizen journalists who find themselves in situations like those described in the Gizmodo article. When possible, I think those individuals should seek out the support of traditional media organizations and groups like the Reporters Committee and SPJ. These groups can help provide valuable legal amicus support and/or public support through articles, editorials and publicity about these legitimate and important First Amendment activities. (And again, we need to make sure that our media clients are being vigilant as well to these situations.)

GDT: Oilers at Wild – Game 3 – 2010-10-14 @ 6:30 PM – SNET
Well, I'm sure everyone's heard it by now, but the Oilers haven't won a game in Minnesota since Taylor Hall was in diapers (13 straight losses on Minnesota home ice, to be exact). But this team has changed immensely since then.
The Oilers last game, the Oil came out pretty flat, and stayed quite flat, with the exception of "MVP" Nikolai Khabibulin. I use the term MVP with a bit of jest towards Steve Tambellini (who insists he was the team's MVP before being hurt last year). But quite frankly, he was very solid and kept the Oilers in the game and stole that win. That's something we really need around here, and I think the Oilers success this year does depend a lot on Continue reading 'GDT: Oilers at Wild – Game 3 – 2010-10-14 @ 6:30 PM – SNET'»

Next week, China's majority ethnic group, the Han, will celebrate the Olympic torch's arrival on Mt. Everest. It will be a pinnacle experience, literally, for a people who see the Beijing Games as their ascendency to restored world glory. One problem, though: Everest's peak is in Tibet.
China's bursts of Han nationalism – often resulting in violent indignation – have been marked by such contradictions. Popular calls to boycott Western imports over the recent pro-Tibet actions against the torch, for instance, have been squashed by officials – to prevent boycotts of Chinese exports.
A more worrisome conundrum for China's leaders is that their own past attempts to incite domestic anger at other countries – mainly Japan and the US – have now opened the door to grass-roots protests that can quickly escalate with private mobilization over the Internet. The Communist Party, which has intensified "patriotic" indoctrination since 1994, has lately insisted on what they term "rational" nationalism.
Two weeks ago, for instance, Internet-driven protests almost got out of hand in several Chinese cities against French-owned Carrefour supermarkets. People were upset at actions in Paris against the torch relay and a famous Chinese athlete. A follow-up protest against Carrefour May 1 was contained by officials who banned online searches for the word Carrefour.
The real rub for the party: Unfettered nationalism might cause people to turn against it. Officials are busy enough suppressing hundreds of local protests a year by farmers and workers increasingly venting anger at misrule, inflation, land grabs, or graft. And during the Tibet crisis of the past few weeks, China has seen zealous protesters turn on fellow Chinese who don't take a hard line. One Chinese student at Duke University who tried to mediate between pro-Tibet and pro-China activists on campus was called a traitor back home, and her family there was threatened.
The party's difficulty lies in defining a "rational" identity for a country that suppresses non-Han minorities (about 8 percent of the population) and floods the Muslim west and Tibet with Han Chinese (thus the anti-Han riots in March).
Near-xenophobic nationalism is a useful tool to unify a land of 1.3 billion people. It provides cover for official mistakes and jailing of dissidents. But aggressive action against foreigners only portrays China as a bully, hurting its "peaceful rise" to power – especially just before the Olympics. A recent poll showed that Europeans now see China as the world's biggest threat to world stability.
Foreign talk of boycotting the Olympics, and thus marring China's "coming out" party as an economic giant, only fuels nationalist anger and revives memories of past humiliations by foreign powers. Beijing might become less cooperative on trade, nuclear proliferation, and other issues, and not be a "stakeholder" in global affairs.
China's potential to implode under its nationalism is, ironically, a result of the party's insecure grip on power and thus its need to command authority by lighting a patriotic torch. But love of country should not mean hatred of others.
When the Olympic torch finally reaches Beijing Aug. 8, will the Chinese see it as the world's? Or as their own?

What is dyscalculia?
Dyscalculia is a specific learning disability (or difficulty) in mathematics. It was originally defined by the Czechoslovakia researcher Kosc [1], as a difficulty in mathematics as a result of impairment to particular parts of the brain involved in mathematical cognition, but without a general difficulty in cognitive function. This is the same definition that researchers in cognitive neuroscience use today.
Two other common terms come from different backgrounds but essentially mean the same thing; these are "Mathematics Disorder" (a diagnosis in the DSM-IV, a manual used by psychiatrists), and "Mathematical Disabilities", an educational term primary used in North America.
What all definitions have in common is 1) a presence of difficulties in mathematics, 2) some degree of specificity (ie. lack of across the board academic difficulties) and 3) the assumption that these are caused in some way by brain dysfunction.
Note that here dyscalculia refers to what is strictly called "developmental dyscalculia". There is another type of dyscalculia called "acquired dyscalculia" which is acquired (usually in adults) as a result of brain injury or stroke.
The percentage of the population with developmental dyscalculia is estimated to be between 3-6 percent, or one in twenty individuals [2-4]. This is a similar percentage to that for dyslexia, and yet dyscalculia is very understudied and under-resourced in comparison. Unlike some other learning disabilities, dyscalculia is as likely to affect girls as boys.

Court Innovations—Kleps Awards
Ralph N. Kleps Award Program PostponedPosted May 09, 2012
|The 2012-2013 Kleps Award cycle has been postponed. This will allow the Judicial Council to assess the available resources that will be available for this and other programs next year and make any changes that might be necessary. For more information, contact: email@example.com.
From 1991–2012, the Ralph N. Kleps Award for Improvement in the Administration of the Courts recognized innovators committed to improving access to justice by solving common problems. The program grew in popularity since its inception in 1991. But in 2012, with the California courts in a fiscal crisis that led to a reduction in staff, the program was indefinitely put on hold.
Dozens of Kleps-award-winning programs are still active in California's appellate and trial courts. These programs were started by a person or a group of people who saw an issue and resolved it. Some of these programs, including the JusticeCorps program initiated by the Los Angeles Superior Court, have expanded statewide.
Innovations in the California Courts
Profiles of 2010-2011 Ralph N. Kleps Award recipients are highlighted in this online publication. The resource includes a retrospective of the 20th anniversary of the Kleps Award program, as well as a look at statewide initiatives.

Smith & Wesson Holding Co. was the stock to own Wednesday, up 18% after the gun maker posted a 42% jump in its fiscal third-quarter profit. It was way better than investors expected.
Sales last quarter rose 7% and are up nearly 12% over the past nine months, a key reason the company lifted its fiscal full-year earnings outlook to between $1.39 and $1.42 a share.
So what's driving the surge? Not hunters.
Smith & Wesson's handgun sales jumped 30% from a year ago. Sales of what they call long guns fell 9%.
At the same time, commercial sales (police, etc.) fell 6% while private sales rose 20%.
What do the analysts make of this? Almost all of them point to the Dec. 14, 2012 massacre at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in which 27 people, mostly children, were shot and killed by a lone gunman.
There were two major reactions to the shooting. One was a public outcry for stricter gun control, championed by the White House. The other was a rush to buy firearms before stricter controls could put them out of reach. That buying spree lasted right through 2013.
While gun-control advocates have made a lot of noise, Smith & Wesson\'s numbers show they clearly haven't changed many laws.
So how long can public outrage fuel sales? Barring another national tragedy, not long. And that has some analysts taking a cautious stand on Smith & Wesson stock, despite the company's own revision to its 2014 earnings prospects.
Here's Wedbush analysts' take on it: "Last year, the U.S. firearms industry certainly saw record demand levels, given heightened consumer fears of tightened gun control legislation from the Obama Administration. Near-term, given the lack of any significant legislation, we expect demand to continue falling to more rational levels. We are hesitant to recommend shares of SWHC until the industry trends normalize somewhat."
Analysts at Northland Capital markets take a similar view. While bumping up their 2014 full-year earnings estimate to roughly match the company\'s ($1.35 to $1.41 a share) given the past quarter\'s strong results, they said they are leaving their 2015 earnings outlook unchanged at $1.52 a share, assuming sales growth of just 2%. That\'s a big drop from last year\'s sales spurt.

The Wounds and the Scars of War
In recent weeks, the PCN&R has published citations issued to various recipients of awards for military valor, under the title "American Spirit." We figured this was a good way for the community to remember the sacrifices it has taken to build our free society. Unbelievably, a reader wrote two weeks ago to cancel her subscription because she disliked this series. "I see no point in publishing items like Medal of Honor citations from decades ago that have nothing to do with anyone in Philipstown," the former reader wrote.
The PCN&R maintains that remembering the incredible feats achieved by American warriors, often in life or death situations, has everything to do with Philipstown. Selfless servicemen like 2nd Lt John Bobo (Medal of Honor) and Pharmacists Mate Second Class John Bradley (Navy Cross) are the reason why Philipstown is still an American town. They are the reason why there is a newspaper and not a ministry of propaganda, why Philipstown residents speak English and not imperial Japanese, and why, on November 2, Philipstown residents went to vote in an election.
Honoring and respecting the brave and the fallen is not a political issue. It is something that all Americans should be happy to do. But, luckily for the few who are ungrateful, brave young men and women have bled for their right to make that misguided choice.
The Philipstown area is rich in military lore, and the PCN&R will continue to honor that tradition. George Washington, who reportedly gave Cold Spring its name, was instrumental in the founding of the United States Military Academy at West Point, just across the Hudson. Sergeant Albert Ireland, of Cold Spring, was the recipient of nine Purple Hearts, the most in U.S. history. Major General Daniel Butterfield, author of "Taps," played at military funerals, is buried in Cold Spring. Cold Spring was also home to the famed West Point Foundry, which produced Parrott rifles and other munitions for nearly 100 years.
Retelling these contributions, as well as remembering the heroism of Americans from other towns across our country, is crucial to maintaining and reinvigorating the American spirit and providing people with inspiration in the darkest of hours.
We unfortunately live with the fact that the oceans no longer protect us. We live within an hour of another 9/11, and that means our men and women in uniform must be ever vigilant. They are tasked with a very un-politically correct assignment: kill or be killed. The military builds schools in war-torn countries, creates infrastructures, organizes democracies, but at the heart of it all, the mission will always be "locate, close with, and destroy the enemy."
That has been the goal since Lexington and Concord in 1775, with muskets and bayonets, and it remains the same in Afghanistan, with predator drones and fiber-optically guided missiles. No matter what the scientists at Lockheed Martin come up with next, the human element will never be taken out of war. Troops will be on the ground, in the air, and on the high seas, taking hostile fire. They will always be separated from their families for months on end, not only defending lives, but our freedom. "The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war," said General Douglas MacArthur.
After bearing the wounds and suffering the scars, Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, and Sailors should never have to return to a nation that is too busy to recognize their sacrifices. "America is not at war. The Marine Corps is at war; America is at the mall," an unknown Marine wrote while deployed to Iraq. It is a tragedy that any warrior should feel disconnected from the civilians for whom he fights.
Although, due to the economy, Americans might be going to the mall less and less, the message should not be lost. It is an absolute blessing that the vast majority of the American people, living thousands of miles away from the battlefield, do not feel the day-to-day effects of war abroad. People can go to the supermarket, pick up their kids from school, commute to work, and not have to worry about a roving band of Taliban at the next exit. Most people don't mean to forget about the troops, they just get caught up in life. They lose touch; the same way people lose an old friend's phone number or forget to send a Christmas card. Fortunately, a little "thank you for your service" to a veteran goes a long way.
This Thursday, Americans will observe Veterans Day, which was originally called Armistice Day. On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, in 1918, World War I finally ended after four years of brutal conflict. Germany and the Allies signed an armistice, ending armed hostilities and what was supposed to be the "war to end all wars." In 1938, November 11 became a national holiday. In 1954, in order to honor the vets of all American wars, President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Congress changed the name to Veterans Day.
Please pray for all those who have suffered the scars of war for the sake of liberty and justice.
In memory of Lance Corporal
Thomas Larson, USMC
