Giants eliminated early this year
Recommended Video:
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Being eliminated from playoff contention is nothing new for the New York Giants. It's now happened four times in five years.
The change this season is having it occur in early December.
For the first time since Tom Coughlin took over as coach in 2004, the Giants (5-8) knew on Monday they were out of the postseason picture with three weeks left in the season.
The end came Sunday in San Diego when the Chargers posted a 37-14 victory, leaving the Giants with nothing to play for but pride and jobs.
It's not surprising the end came early this season. The Giants lost their first six games and they kept their postseason hopes alive this long by winning four straight. A loss at home to Dallas on Nov. 24 made the end only a matter of time.
"Obviously this is not the situation we wanted to find ourselves in," defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka said. "I think the things we have to remember and understand, what we're going to continue to preach in the locker room, is the prideful organization. The greatest city, the greatest organization in the world, and we're going to go out there and perform. We have a lot to play for. I think every time you take the field you're representing yourself, your family, your team and your city, in that order. You have to make sure you do it to the best of your ability."
The Giants will get a chance to show their pride Sunday when they host the Seattle Seahawks (11-2), the NFC's best team so far.
Coughlin said the Giants' objectives won't change in the final three games. They want to win and he is not going to go out of his way to look at younger players. If they deserve to play, they will.
Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who has missed the last two games with a shoulder injury, won't be shut down with the playoffs out of reach for a second straight season. Coughlin said JPP is feeling better and might be a possibility this week.
"As I have said many, many times in the past, we have to deal with reality," Coughlin said. "The truth of the matter is we have to apply ourselves, and hope that we can. I have used the word respect, and we can gain and earn some of the respect back by virtue of how we play in these last three games, and that's all we can possibly think about right now."
The reasons for the Giants' failure this season are obvious. It starts with the offense.
Supposedly the strength of the team, it never played like that. Kevin Gilbride's group has turned over the ball an NFL-high 34 times, leading to 116 points for opponents. Eli Manning has thrown 20 interceptions, his second highest total. The injury-ravaged offensive line has allowed him to be sacked 32 times, the most in his career.
Defensively, the Giants didn't play well until middle linebacker Jon Beason was acquired from Carolina in midseason.
Special teams have played well lately, but gave up three punts returns for touchdowns and another TD was scored by the Eagles on a bad punt snap.
Combined it has left the Giants on the verge of their second losing season in Coughlin's tenure, the first being in 2004. New York has made the playoff five of his 10 seasons, posting winning records six times and .500 marks twice.
Injuries didn't help. Safety Stevie Brown was lost before the season. Offensive linemen David Baas and Chris Snee, fullback Henry Hynoski and halfback David Wilson followed him on injured reserve. Cornerback Corey Webster has been limited with an assortment on injuries.
"It's definitely a little disappointing," receiver Victor Cruz said. "Obviously you want to go and have a good season and put some good things together and hope you can make it through the playoffs and all of those good things.
"All we can take care of is what you can do each and every week on Sunday. "
All the Giants can do now in the standings is play spoiler, especially with Seattle playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and Detroit looking to win the NFC North.
"We just want to go in there and win it," Cruz said. "No matter what role we're playing, whatever title you want to put on it, we want to go in there and put some things together and put some points on the board and win the ballgame. "

Onda Solare presented at Ferrari Museum in Maranello
This morning the solar car from Onda Solare was presented at the Ferrari museum in Maranello. The car will participate in the Australian WORLD SOLAR CHALLENGE 2013 under the name of Emilia III. After two previous participations the new car has been developed thanks to intense work by teachers, students and young researchers from the University of Bologna – who were responsible for the electric-electronic soul of the car – as well as IPSIA Ferrari, the technical school in Maranello. Here students and teachers of the prototype course are working on the development of means of transport with zero emission. The ambitious project was supported by numerous companies from the region with innovative and avant-garde components.
The car, made of carbon fibre and composite material, only weighs 180 kg and has to cover a distance of 3,000 km powered by solar energy. Therefore the car relies on 391 photovoltaic cells.
Emilia III will participate in the race with three drivers and 20 members of the team Onda Solare in October in Australia from Darwin to Adelaide through the Australian bush.
The Onda Solare team gained good results in the first two edition of the race and the new technology introduced with Emilia III might lead to an even better performance this year.
As for the previous two editions Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo and Vice Chairman Piero Ferrari wished the team all the best. One has to remember that IPSIA, the technical school in Maranello, has been created by Enzo Ferrari to educate technicians for the company of the Prancing Horse.

Parent advice
From our panel of staff contributors
The kids need a big dose of giving to others; perhaps no new gifts of toys/clothes/electronics until they donate some used ones to needy people. Sign them up to participate in a service project or two. Rent some message-heavy movies and watch/discuss them together. Find a relative who believes in respect, politeness and discipline and have the kids spend the weekend with him or her.
Part of me says inevitable: We're all bombarded with commercials that equate spending with worth, and that's awfully hard to escape. Rather than try to negate the un-negatable, we made them participate. When they were really young, my wife would ask them to round up some good- to very-good-condition toys that could be donated to charity to "make room" for the stuff to come. When older, we'd pick a needy child (anonymous) about their age from one of several charity groups and have our kids shop alongside us for toys and mittens and such. Older still, we'd establish a budget and solicit input.
Expert advice
Inevitable? Not really.
Understandable? Absolutely, says child development and behavior specialist Betsy Brown Braun, author of "You're Not the Boss of Me: Brat-Proofing Your 4- to 12-Year-Old Child" (Harper Collins).
"Kids want stuff," she says. "Everybody wants stuff. I look through the (Neiman Marcus) catalog and think, 'Oh! Another pair of red flats!' But parents get angry at their kids and turn wanting into a bad thing instead of turning it into a learning opportunity."
From the moment they're born, children are hard-wired to receive. We don't do much to dissuade that reflex with our yearlong buildup to holidays. ("You can ask Santa to bring you that!" "Let's save that for your Hanukkah list!" "Tell grandma what you want for Christmas!")
"We have to be wary of getting angry at kids for doing just exactly what kids do," Brown Braun says.
As parents, our job (one of them, anyway) is to teach kids the beauty of giving as well.
"It's up to us, (when they're) at an early age, to redefine the holidays so they're not all about 'What am I going to get?'" says Brown Braun. "We have to work overtime to put the emphasis on interactive family experiences and rituals — creating memories and cultivating the pleasure that you get out of giving to somebody else."
Think of the joy on your child's face when he presents you with glitter and dried pasta glued to construction paper for Mother's Day. The desire to give and please is there. You may just have to put a little extra emphasis on it.
"One night in December get everyone in the kitchen to make cranberry bread," suggests Brown Braun. "Make the wrapping paper together. Have the kids make their own lists of whom to give it to. Maybe it's the firemen, maybe it's a parking lot attendant.
"Pick one night of Hanukkah where the whole family eats dinner under the table. Put on your jammies and run around the city looking at Christmas decorations. Do things that are not only defined by presents.
"I'm not saying it will take the place of getting," she says. "But it teaches them that fun and joy come out of more than just receiving."

So I've earned my edit badge or whatever you call it and the one thing that most gets up my nose is questions starting with So. If I edit it out whenever I see it would I be abusing this hard-earned privilege?
I know the guidelines state that trivial changes are discouraged but to me this is not trivial.
Both my parents were teachers and they would be mortified to see so many questions starting this hideous way.


text: Today I met up with JUNIOR650 with plans to show him some old abandon iron bridges across the Mackanaw River. I found 5 such bridges last fall and winter and will continue to search for more old bridges in central Illinois as time permits. Below is a Google map of the locations of the 4 bridges we plan to visit today. UPDATE; Here is a gpx file of 475+ old bridges in Illinois. We met up at the Caseys General Store in Mackanaw and the sun was shining bright (but this didnt last for long, more on that later). We headed west out of town on Route 9 to the first bridge (B3). This bridge is in rather good shape with a concrete deck. You can drive over it but the other side goes to private property. Location... N40 28'01.8" W89 26'16.2" AS we leave heading to the next location we notice the weather changing very quickly. The sun is gone and the wind is picking up. Its getting dark off to the west. Bridge B2 cannot be accessed from the north so we pass it up and continue to bridge B4. This bridge is not crossable so we stop on the north side and look around and take a few pics. Here are a couple pics from the south side of the bridge. This is the best way to come in, as there are several miles of gravel road. Location... N40 28'36.30" W89 32'18.31" We start to here thunder and see lightning so we mount up and head out again to the next bridge (right into the storm). We only ride a couple more miles and the rain starts. Gental at first, but this does not last long. It is raining hard when we reach the bridge (B1). This bridge can be crossed and has a trail that leads into the timber where we retreat under the cover of large trees. Pic under trees. I didnt get any pictures of this bridge as it was raining too hard. This is another nice bridge with a concrete deck. I will go back and get some pics and post them as time permits. location... N40 30'47.93" W89 24'08.5" We waited till the rain let up and headed back to the bridge we could not get to from the north. The rain started again along with the wind. We decided to pull into the Caseys General Store in Hopedale to wait the rain out. We grabbed a snack and rehydrated while the rain and HAIL fell outside. After 20 min we were ready to try it again. The GPS led us down a long gravel/sand road to towards bridge B2. When we arrived there was a truck parked by the opening in the fence to get up on the leeve to get around the fence to the bridge With no way onto the leeve we turned around and headed back. There was a large thunder storm off to the west again and we decided to head home. Location... N40 26'20.08" W89 34'2176" As I find more old iron bridges in the area I will update.

As you may have read, we just put the wraps on another quarter at Fisher. Personally, I find it very hard to believe that I only have one more quarter left before graduation. The cliche is true: time flies when you're having fun.
Another thing that boggles the mind is how the second year of the program can feel busier than the first year. I assure you, whatever program you choose, you will find that you learn a *ridiculous* amount of information during your first year. Experiencing the nuances of the program the first time around prepares you for your second year… now YOU have to step up and plan activities and events for classmates. Mind you: It's harder than it looks.
What's really hard is to not take things personally. After spending weeks of time, a good deal of money, and much effort planning and preparing the event, the big day comes and many people who signed up to come don't show up. Or they're late. Or worse… they leave early. Worse still… they help themselves to free food and proceed to open their laptops and do other work during your speaker's presentation. It's enough to make your blood boil. We learn not to take it personally (yet make mental notes of the offenders).
Integrity is important. Don't be "that guy". Do what you say you'll do… and learn to say no. Show up on time. If you come for the free food, at least pay attention and participate. Little things make up your character. Your character is your destiny.
Sometimes it takes a good amount of effort to create something inspiring. Other times inspiration just seems to find you in the everyday. That's one of the things I love most about Fisher. We are a small community and it is easy to find inspiration – you just have to look up from time to time to see it.
It's been a long while since my last post. I'll do my best to give you a quick glimpse of winter quarter.
The Fisher Graduate Women in Business were the first student group summit of the 2011-2012 school year. It was a fantastic event thanks in great part to our outstanding speakers. Inspiration was easy to come by when listening to: Dr. Sharon Alvarez, Liz Lessner, Christina Getachew, Melinda Swan, and Nancy Jane Smith. You can read a bit more about it in Sarah Chait's post in February.
Later in February, I got to see how the other half lives by visiting Silicon Valley with the Fisher Entrepreneurship Association (FEA). A group of us were able to visit with several venture capital companies (Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers; 5am Ventures; Lightspeed Venture Partners; Labrador Venture Partners), a legal firm that supports many entrepreneurial ventures (Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rossati), an incubator (Plug and Play Technology Center), as well as a startup (Push Pins) that was co-founded by an OSU alum. The event capping off the second day was an entrepreneur panel discussion. As you may have guessed, we had a most wonderful host – also a proud OSU alumnus! I loved the trip and was completely inspired by the energy, passion, and the overall vibe within the cities of Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and San Francisco. You can like FEA on Facebook to see more pictures from the trip and learn more about the student organization.
"Yes, and" seems to be a common and recurring theme all quarter. Opportunity knocks when you say yes. "Yes and" is the key phrase used in any improvisational comedy/theater and to conduct a positive and productive brainstorming session. "Yes but" shuts others down. "Yes and" will get them to open up. We discussed the team at IDEO in a Developing High Performance Teams class session. Here's another article by the NYTimes on the same topic.
Last but not least, we recently held our Association of Marketing Professionals annual summit event "Future CAMP". I had a big dose of inspiration the entire week… which also happened to be the final week of classes in the quarter. Our speakers were again, AMAZING. I'm so inspired by one that I think it will lead to a separate blog post. It was a great day of programming. Although I am slightly biased, I can produce evidence to support my opinion. One of our speakers, Danny Brown, wrote a quick recap in his blog. Needless to say, it was a great day.
Finals are through, grades are posted, and my roommate and I are heading south to spend a few days in New Orleans. I'll be sure to blog again as inspiration strikes. Until then, think about what inspires you. And for those of you considering b-school, seek to be inspired! Before you know it, you'll be three months away from graduation too.

A recent Defense Department analysis has reported that there is limited use to training students on the F-35 fighter jet because it is still in development and substantially limited in capability.
A recent Defense Department analysis has reported that there is limited use to training students on the F-35 fighter jet because it is still in development and substantially limited in capability.
Student pilots officially began training at Eglin Air Force base this year.
The report provides a snapshot of what the military�s newest and most-expensive fighter jet is capable of � but mostly what it�s not � 12 years after work on the program began. It also points to several potential safety and procedural issues with the aircraft, including lack of radar capability and deficiencies in the oft-lauded and highly expensive helmet-mounted visual displays.

Air Force and F-35 program officials say the program is designed so that pilot training develops along with the aircraft, and that the training is valuable to the progression of the program. They noted that when the Air Force evaluated the training at Eglin last fall, it found no critical problems that would deter training from continuing.
Four test pilots were followed through the program between September and November to determine whether the school was ready for its first official class.
The Air Force gave it the go-ahead in December.
The program
The Defense Department�s Department of Testing and Evaluation had recommended the Air Force delay its evaluation of the training program until the F-35 possesses combat capability, the DoD report states. The Air Force went ahead with it and the Testing and Evaluation Department was tasked with reviewing its findings for its recent analysis, which was released in February.
It shows a snapshot of a program still in its infancy, only one-third of the way through development, the report states.
The F-35, which has variants for the Air Force, Marines and Navy, is going through development, production, training and testing at the same time, a process dubbed concurrency that the jet�s developer Lockheed Martin originally touted as a way to save money and time.
The first years of the program have instead been plagued by cost overruns and delays.
A report released last week from the Government Accountability Office states the program has made significant developments in the past year and seems to be getting back on track, but rising long-term costs remain a major concern.
Acquisition of 2,457 jets was estimated to cost $395.7 billion in March 2012. That�s up from the $233 billion for 2,866 jets that was estimated in 2001 when the program was conceived, according to the GAO report.
The costliest development phases are still ahead, it states.
The schoolhouse
All students learning to fly the F-35 must attend the courses at Eglin. Currently, only experienced pilots are training on the jets, and they will become instructors for future classes, said Col. Andrew Toth, commander of the 33rd Fighter Wing, which hosts the school.
The pilots now are training on an early version of the jet, called Block 1, that has limited capability.
The planes can provide basic pilot training but have no combat capability. The pilots also are very restricted in what they are allowed to perform in the aircraft, according to the DoD report.
�The utility of training with an aircraft this early in development is limited because of the extreme aircraft operating limitation and lack of mission capability,� the report states. �There are a number of restrictions on the aircraft that are typical of a test aircraft only partway through its flight test program, but very atypical of a fighter aircraft used for student training.�
For example, the F-35s soaring over Northwest Florida are prohibited from performing aerobatics, descending at more than 6,000 feet per minute, exceeding Mach 0.9 speed or maneuvering at more than 5 Gs. They can�t take off or land in formation, fly at night or use instruments to fly during weather events, the report states.
Winslow Wheeler, who released the report last week on the website of the Project for Government Oversight, said the analysis indicates that student training started too soon.
�The airplane is so immature that the pilots are getting very little out of it,� he said of the DoD report. �The training exercise turns out to be clearly premature and should have been held off for another couple years until more competent airplanes are available for pilots to fly.�
Toth said training student pilots, even on the limited-capability aircraft, allows them to set a foundation for the future of the program and create a cadre of instructor pilots.
In addition to the pilot training, a large number of aircraft maintainers are receiving hands-on experience with the jet and learning what it takes to get it off the ground each day, he said.
�When the aircraft is fully functional and capable, we will already have the maintainers in place and we will have pilots that are already able to operate the aircraft,� he said.
Although full functionality is still several years off, Eglin is set to receive jets with additional capabilities this year.
By the end of the month, the first Block 2 jets should be delivered to Eglin, said Kyra Hawn, a spokeswoman the F-35 Joint Program office. The jets will have additional weapons engagement capabilities.
Eglin should receive a second Block 2 jet shortly after and have a total of 24 by the end of the year, Toth said.
Eventually, the Block 1 aircraft also will be upgraded, although that was not initially in the plan.
Toth said Lockheed Martin has realized those planes also must be upgraded to be functional for the services.
Hawn said the malfunctions with the helmet-mounted display and the radar are being addressed, and were not designed to be fully functional with the early-version aircraft at Eglin now.
The DoD report states the training at Eglin was sufficient for the limited number of students that went through last fall, but with the new aircraft will come a new course syllabus and additional training requirements.
The Air Force had to provide substantial resources and work-arounds to meet the requirements of the limited syllabus in the fall, and it likely will have trouble keeping pace with a more advanced syllabus and an increased student load, the report states.
The Air Force provided additional F-16 jets to fly as chasers behind the F-35s in the cases when enough F-35s weren�t cleared for flight. Those jets won�t be available after this month.
Even so, Toth is optimistic, especially with the commitment of the men and women working on the program at Eglin.
The first official class of Air Force pilots has completed academic training and is starting flight tests. Another class started this month.
All three branches hope to put more than 50 pilots through training by the end of the fiscal year, Toth said.
More than 600 maintainers already have been trained, and that number should more than double this year, he said.
Toth said 19 sorties were launched Wednesday, the most in one day at Eglin.
�This program continues to grow on a daily basis and it�s all a credit to all of our maintainers and pilots that are making this happen,� he said.

The EU decision-making process (20 March 2009, updated 1 March 2010)
The EU decision-making process
1 March 2010
The Schengen short-stay visa requirement was lifted for Macedonians, Montenegrins and Serbians on 19 December 2009, and for Albanians and Bosnians on 15 December 2010. Their passports are now simply stamped when they cross the border to one of 28 European countries,[1] and they can stay for up to 3 months (to be precise: 90 days) within a 6-month period (180 days) in the Schengen zone. The abolition of the visa requirement was the reward for meeting a series of tough conditions in the areas of border control, personal document security, public order & security, and human rights. On a technical level, it was the result of an amendment of Council Regulation 539/2001.
This EU law determines whether the citizens of a country can freely enter the Schengen zone, or whether they have to obtain a Schengen visa from an embassy or consulate beforehand. Annex I, the so-called "black list", lists all the countries and territories whose nationals must have a visa to cross the border into the Schengen area, and Annex II, the "white list", lists all the states whose nationals are exempted from the visa obligation.Amending Council Regulation 539/2001 takes a bit of time since three EU institutions are involved. The process for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia was also different from that for Albania and Bosnia. The reason was the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009, which changed the decision-making procedure for visa policy. Lets take a look at how this decision-making process works.
Amendments of Council Regulation 539/2001 require the cooperation of three EU institutions: the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council. Their roles are the following:
- The European Commission is the only institution that has the right to propose amendments to Council Regulation 539/2001.[2] The Lisbon Treaty has not changed anything in this regard. This means that the Commission has to put forward a legislative proposal if the Regulation is to be amended. In the case of visa-free travel for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, the Commission issued its proposal on 15 July 2009, and for Albania and Bosnia on 27 May 2010.
- The Council of the EU, where all 27 EU member states are represented, has to adopt the proposed amendment. Before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the Council was the only body that had to adopt the proposed amendment, voting by qualified majority.[3] For Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, it did so on 30 November 2009. Now, under the Lisbon Treaty, the Council shares its legislative power equally with the European Parliament (and continues to vote by qualified majority). It voted on the amendment lifting the visa requirement for Albania and Bosnia on 8 November 2010.
- The European Parliament is now co-decision-maker on equal footing with the Council. Previously, the Parliament had only to be consulted before the Council could take a vote, but the Council was not bound by the Parliament's opinion. The Parliament issued its non-binding opinion of the 2009 Commission visa proposal for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia on 12 November 2009. Now the decision-making procedure that the two bodies follow is called "ordinary legislative procedure". This means that the legislative proposal goes through one or two readings, usually with the Parliament looking at the proposal first. If the two bodies cannot agree on it after two readings, it is passed on to a conciliation committee, which tries to pave the way for adoption. In the case of visa-free travel for Albania and Bosnia, there was only one reading. The European Parliament voted on 7 October 2010 and the Council on 8 November 2010.
For both groups of Balkan countries, it took seven months to amend the Visa Regulation, from the moment when the Commission presented the legislative proposal until the citizens could really travel visa-free. Another six to eight weeks is to be added for the preceding work within the Commission (see below). This shows that amending the Visa Regulation is by no means a quick affair.
The procedures at the European Commission
At the Commission, two Commissioners and the departments under their authority have been in charge of the visa liberalisation process for the Western Balkans, which was launched in January 2008: Cecilia Malmstrom, the Commissioner for Home Affairs (who succeeded Jacques Barrot, Commissioner for Justice, Liberty and Security on 10 February 2010), and the Directorate-General for Home Affairs (DG HOME); and the Commissioner for Enlargement and European Neighbourhood Policy Stefan Fule (who succeeded Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn on 10 February 2010) and the Directorate-General for Enlargement (DG ELARG). DG HOME has the lead since visa policy falls under its competence.
The process of amending Council Regulation 539/2001 does not start with the Commission officially presenting its proposal. First the Commission has to draft the proposal and agree on it internally. So when on 15 July 2009 the Commission put forward its legislative proposal to give visa-free travel to Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia, it had already worked on it for more than six weeks.
DG JLS (DG Justice, Liberty and Security, the predecessor to DG HOME) started drafting the proposal in early June 2009, in parallel to conducting the final discussions with EU member states to obtain their agreement on the proposal. When the draft was finished, it had to be agreed with Commissioner Rehn and DG ELARG and then it had to go through an "inter-service consultation". During this process, other Directorates-General of the Commission (there were 40 in total in 2009) are invited to provide comments and suggest changes to the proposal. The Commission's Legal Service is always part of an inter-service consultation, as to ensure that every document is legally sound. When the document is shorter than 20 pages, like in the case of the visa proposal, an inter-service consultation lasts 10 working days.
The proposed amendment also had to be translated into all official EU languages (there are 23 official EU languages), which took many weeks. However, as long as there are translations into English, French and German, the three working languages of the Commission, the Commission can adopt the proposal internally, giving it official status.
The Commission mainly uses two ways to adopt proposals and other documents: by "written procedure" or by "oral procedure".[4] For the visa proposals, the oral procedure was chosen, which means that the proposals were discussed and adopted "orally" at the weekly meeting of all the 27 Commissioners on 15 July 2009 for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, and on 27 May 2010 for Albania and Bosnia.
The opinion of the European Parliament
The Commission's legislative proposals for the Western Balkan countries were transmitted to the Council and the European Parliament on the day of adoption by the Commission, on 15 July 2009 (Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia) and 27 May 2010 (Albania and Bosnia). In 2009, the so-called "consultation procedure" still applied, so the European Parliament had to deliver an opinion on the Commission's proposal for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia before the Council could take a vote on it.
Due to the elections for a new European Parliament on 4-7 June 2009, it took some time for the new assembly to turn its attention to the proposed amendment. The weeks after the elections were devoted to establishing the new Parliament and its committees and filling all the positions, and then summer break started. The rapporteur for the visa proposal was only appointed on 2 September 2009. The task of the rapporteur is to manoeuvre the proposal through the lead committee and draft a report that is voted on at the end, receive and incorporate opinions of other interested committees, and to pave the way for a plenary vote.
The rapporteur appointed for the Commission's visa proposals for both groups of Balkan countries was Tanja Fajon (Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats), a Slovenian member of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE), which was the responsible committee. The Foreign Affairs Committee (AFET) provided input, and AFET's rapporteur was Sarah Ludford from the UK (Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe).
In the current Parliament, there are seven political groups, which are coalitions of the national political parties from the EU member countries. The largest is the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) (265 MEPs out of 736; 36%), followed by the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (184 MEPs; 25%), the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe (84 MEPs; 11.4%), the Greens (55 MEPs; 7.5%) and the European Conservatives and Reformists (54 MEPs; 7.3%). The remaining two groups have 35 and 32 members, respectively, and there are also 27 independent MEPs.
EP committees usually discuss a dossier over the course of at least three separate meetings (presentation at which a deadline for amendments, which can be put forward by any member, is given; followed by debate and discussion of the proposed amendments; followed by a vote on the amendments). This can take months. However, the procedure can also be sped up, which it was for the visa proposals. .
LIBE and AFET committees discussed the Commission's proposal for Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia on 29 September (AFET) and 30 September (LIBE) and voted on the draft reports from the rapporteurs on 6 October (AFET) and 15 October (LIBE). The discussion and vote in plenary took place on 12 November 2009. For Albania and Bosnia, the committee work started on 2 September 2010 when Tanja Fajon presented its draft report, and the penary vote took place on 7 October 2010.
While the Parliaments (positive) opinion on visa-free travel for Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia was non-binding, this changed when the assembly dealt with visa-free travel for Albania and Bosnia following the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009. The Lisbon Treaty envisages the "ordinary legislative procedure" (which used to be called "co-decision procedure" under the old EU Treaties) for decisions on visa policy, which means that the Council and the European Parliament share decision-making power on an equal footing. As a rule, the Parliament is the first to examine a proposal from the Commission. It then goes to the Council with the Parliament's amendments. If the Council agrees to this text, the proposal is adopted in first reading. If it does not, then the proposal goes to second reading, again first to the Parliament and then to the Council. If the two bodies cannot agree, a conciliation committee is formed with representatives from the Parliament, the Council and the Commission who try to arrive at a mutually acceptable text. If they succeed, the text is sent to the Council and the Parliament for another vote. If they accept it, it is adopted; if either body rejects it, the proposal is withdrawn (which happens extremely rarely). In the case of the 27 May 2010 proposal for Albania and Bosnia, the Parliament and Council agreed on lifting the visa requirement for these two countries in the first reading. The Parliament voted on 7 October 2010 and the Council on 8 November 2010.
The vote by the Council
Before the Council took the final vote on visa-free travel for Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia on 30 November 2009, Slovenia - one of the most supportive member states concerning visa liberalisation for Western Balkans countries - proposed moving the date of the start of visa-free travel to 19 December 2009. This was the earliest day possible under the rules applying to publication of the amended Council Regulation 539/2001 in the EU's Official Journal. Member states supported this change as it would allow the Balkan citizens to travel during the holiday season.
The Council that took the final vote on the proposal was the Justice and Home Affairs Council, which is made up of interior and justice ministers from the 27 EU member states. This Council meets around six times per year, so there were only three sessions in the second half of 2009 during which it could adopt the proposal: during its meetings on 21/22 September, 23 October or 30 November/1 December 2009. The last meeting was the only feasible since the Parliament needed time to deliver its opinion. In the case of Bosnia and Albania, the Council voted on 8 November 2010.
The Council votes on visa issues by qualified majority, which means that a proposal must garner 228 out of 309 votes. (The normal number of votes in the Council is 345, but the UK and Ireland are not voting on visa policy. The number of votes per country corresponds to its population.)
Following a Council's vote, the legal act adopted is published in the Official Journal of the European Union: it usually takes around three weeks, but can also happen a bit faster if needed. This presupposes that the Council sent the text to lawyer-linguists before adoption so that they had enough time to check it and make sure it is legally sound. The amended Council Regulation 539/2001 with Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia added on the "white list" was published in the Official Journal of 18 December 2009 (L 336) and the next version with Albania and Bosnia added was published in the Official Journal of 14 December 2010 (L 329/1).
Most legal acts enter into force on the 20th day following the date of their publication in the EU's Official Journal, but in both cases the ministers stipulated that the amendment of Council Regulation 539/2001 should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal. And so the visa obligation for Macedonians, Montenegrins and Serbians was lifted on 19 December 2009, and for Albanians and Bosnians on 15 December 2010.
[1] They can travel without a visa to all EU countries except Ireland and the UK, which have decided to maintain border controls and are thus not part of the Schengen zone. In addition, they can travel without a visa to Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, which are not EU members, but participate in Schengen..
[2] The decision-making processes are defined in the EU Treaty. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the relevant article is 77 (2). Under the old Treaty, the relevant articles were 62 (2) (b) (i) and 67 (3). See the consolidated versions of the Treaty on the European Union and of the Treaty establishing the European Community.
[3] Each member state has between 3 and 29 votes. The number of votes roughly corresponds to population, but is weighted in favour of smaller states. Normally, there is a total number of 345 votes and a proposal that requires a qualified majority needs 255 votes to be adopted. However, in the case of amendments of Council Regulation 539/2001, Ireland (7 votes) and the UK (29 votes) do not vote. These two countries have decided to maintain border controls, hence they are not part of the Schengen zone. So, qualified majority voting for a proposed amendment of Council Regulation 539/2001 to pass requires 228 out of 309 votes. The 228 votes must come from at least 12 member states, and any member state may also request verification that the qualified majority represents at least 62% of the total EU population without Ireland and the UK.
[4] Under the written procedure, the Commission's Secretariat-General sends the proposal to the cabinets of the 27 Commissioners, who have 5 working days to state their objections. If they do not object, the proposal is considered adopted. Written procedure is usually used for proposals where it is clear that there are no objections, and which are of little public interest. Under the rules, the Commissioners vote by majority; in reality, they always try to reach consensus. (Within 48 hours of oral adoption, or before the end of the written adoption procedure the proposal should be translated into all EU languages. Sometimes this rule is ignored, however.)

Vincent Ferguson: Giving the Skinny on Obesity
The purpose of Body Sculpt of New York was to go out into communities and talk to children and encourage them to stay in school, take better care of their bodies, and learn about health and nutrition. "I hoped if kids learned how to sculpt their bodies, eat well and become educated it would give them a positive self-image and steer them away from the temptation of drugs and crime,� said Ferguson who is also the president and founder of the Children's Choice Awards, an annual awards program that allows children to vote for positive role models in the field of sports, fashion, music, film, education, television and politics.
New Yorker, Vincent Ferguson, is a certified personal trainer, former body builder and author of the book "Six Weeks to A Six Pack.� The father, personal trainer, and part-time real estate investment broker is also a combatant of childhood obesity. On Saturday, October 9th he is planning a Health and Fitness Expo at Harlem PAL which he hopes will attract both parents and children alike and educate them concerning the necessity and benefits of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
The 7th of 9 children, Ferguson graduated high school and went straight into the United States Navy where he learned kickboxing and martial arts. After returning to civilian life, Vincent continued to fine tune his body at the local YMCA in Flatbush where he started body building. He began to compete in contests and noticed how training honed his body and gave him a feeling of health and well being. He also noticed that many young people were directionless and could easily be swayed by drugs which led to crime. "I saw that kids needed direction and something to focus upon to get them off the streets. I knew that working out had done wonders for me and had kept me disciplined and focused. I thought it would do the same for children. I wanted to do something to change their lives so I gathered a group of people together and formed an organization called Body Sculpt of New York, Inc,� explained Ferguson. The purpose of Body Sculpt of New York was to go out into communities and talk to children and encourage them to stay in school, take better care of their bodies, and learn about health and nutrition. "I hoped if kids learned how to sculpt their bodies, eat well and become educated it would give them a positive self-image and steer them away from the temptation of drugs and crime,� said Ferguson who is also the president and founder of the Children's Choice Awards, an annual awards program that allows children to vote for positive role models in the field of sports, fashion, music, film, education, television and politics.
"Bodybuilding and martial arts give people a feeling of confidence,� says Ferguson. "When you work out you start to feel strong. You start to see your body changing and looking better. This makes you feel better about yourself. It's not so important to try to look bigger as it is to try and be totally fit. I wrote a book about abdominal training entitled: "Six Weeks To A Six Pack,� claimed the health advocate who believes that the center of your body, the abdominal, should be healthy and look good. "Your stomach area should be firm, strong and defined. Weight training helps this area. For example, anyone can weight train. Although women may not have the level of testosterone that men have, they can still build muscle to a smaller degree and still retain their femininity. Women are finding out they can be stronger than what they are. They don't have to be the weaker sex. Whether male or female, when you work out with weights it helps tone the body. As you get older muscles sag but if you continue to work out with weights even into your 50's and 60's, you can counteract the sag and build up muscles. It also does wonders for the skin. A lot of people who opt for plastic surgery could simply work out with weights instead of going under the knife,� explained Ferguson.
Diet is also important because there are too many children, especially African American children (and adults) who are over weight. "There is definitely truth to the old phrase 'You are what you eat.' If you eat a lot of fried foods your body becomes drained and starts to look drawn. All that grease clogs the arteries and makes you a candidate for a heart attack. If you eat a lot of live foods --like various vegetables and soups your body also looks fresh and alive. Greens or vegetables eaten raw or steamed are very good and important to your well being. In terms of meat, I would suggest that you stay away from red meat because it takes a long time to digest in the body. Also, they are putting a lot of chemicals into meat to preserve it. These chemicals are causing all kinds of cancers and toxins in the body. Chemicals in food are more prevalent today than it was 100 years ago. Water, fresh fruits, and exercise help to excrete some of these toxins out of the body. Fiber such as corn, certain cereal, certain fruits and whole wheat is excellent to push the toxins out of the body also. Changing the way you eat can make a difference. It's best to eat tiny meals throughout the day. Space it out for about 3 hours between meals. It is best to eat your biggest meal at lunch time. Eat a smaller breakfast and dinner. When it comes to food, 'big' is not better,� continued the personal trainer.
In order to introduce both children and adults to a healthier lifestyle, Mr. Ferguson is planning his upcoming Health and Fitness Expo on Saturday, October 9th between 10:00 AM and 6:00PM at the Harlem PAL located at 441 Manhattan Avenue (West 119th St.). "Having worked with children at events and in schools, Body Sculpt of New York began to notice the obesity problem prevalent in our children and felt a need to do something about it,� stated Vince. "43% of children, ages 6-19 are overweight and/or obese, a large number which is simply unacceptable. Obese children turn into obese adults. Obesity brings on diabetes, hypertension and cardiac disease issues. We need to focus on prevention by educating our children in order to help them eat better and exercise. A lot of schools have eliminated their exercise programs which enabled children to stay in shape. Therefore, we are creating this event to expose children to various activities and exercises that will aid them to stay healthy and in shape. We are making it fun and educational as well. Body Sculpt of New York is doing this Expo with the help of the Harlem 'Y' and Harlem PAL. Of course, we have to work with the parents because in order to educate the children you have to educate the parents. Though this event is geared toward children, it's an opportunity for parents, through the various workshops we are conducting, to learn what they can do to help their children and themselves maintain a healthier lifestyle and environment.
"Within the last 20 years since the computer came about, more kids have become obese. Some of the factors that have contributed to obesity are lack of activity in schools and at home, video games, watching too much TV, parents over feeding, sedentary lifestyles and parents not leading by example. Some parents themselves are over weight. I recommend at least 30 minutes of physical activity a day for children. If parents would encourage their children to do 10 minutes of exercise in the morning before going to school and 20 minutes at night it would make a big difference in the lives of their children. It's an activity both parent and child can do together. People have to select an active they like in order to keep doing it --whether they choose dancing, jogging, bicycling, rollerblading or aerobics. Two of the best exercises and something very simple to do which has an overall positive effect on the entire body and incorporates the lungs, heart and leg muscles is dancing and jump rope. Jumping rope is an activity you see little girls doing and boxers doing but anyone can do it and it can be extremely beneficial toward an overall body workout. Let's face it-- we are all bombarded with stress. Music is a great stress buster and motivates exercise. It's fun and gets folks moving. Dancing is a good fighter of stress and hypertension. Not everyone is disciplined. Exercise is not easy, but once you start seeing how good you look and feel, it will encourage you to exercise,� remarked Vince. "Obesity has its down side. There are problems breathing and moving about. Lots of obese kids tend to get picked on and develop a low self esteem. We show them that if they work at it and take care of themselves they can raise their emotional and psychological esteem. A sound mind builds a sound body. It's a slow but steady process. However, as you build muscle its easier for your body to burn fat. For those kids who need emotional support, I recommend a neighborhood program called Truce Fitness which is located on 118th Street and St. Nicholas Avenue,� claimed the exercise guru.
The Health and Fitness Expo is the first of many to come. Body Sculpt of New York intends to make the Expo an ongoing event and hopes to run it for two days next summer. "We plan to have all kinds of workshops on October 9th says Ferguson. "There will be a modern dance workshop and workshops featuring African dance and hip hop. 105.1 is a sponsor. We expect to have celebrities at the Expo such as Doug E Fresh, Morgan Heritage, Glen Lewis and others. Cynthia Horn from Right On Magazine is co-hosting. We would like people to come out and support what we are trying to do,� said the enthusiastic fitness trainer. "We want people to know there is so much more to life and there are positive choices out here. There will be 25 clinics in all. Some of the clinics will include: soccer, basketball, football, tennis, boxing, martial arts, jump rope, tap, jazz and modern dance, golf, etc. And, it's all free! Kids will have a chance to win money prizes and there will be a basketball tournament where the kids can win a $500 prize. There will be lectures on diet and obesity. Cal Ramsey will speak about athletics and education. There will be a lot going on that day so we will have something of interest for everyone. All people have to do is…Come on out!!!�

Maya Rudolph gets variety show on NBC
Remember when Maya Rudolph ("SNL," "Bridesmaids") stole the show on the ill-fated sitcom "Up All Night"? Remember when her role was increased and some of us suggested they should just ditch the series and give Rudolph her own show?
NBC will do just that on May 19 when "The Maya Rudolph Show" premieres, a variety format featuring Rudolph's friends and collaborators Andy Samberg, Kristen Bell, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, Craig Robinson, Sean Hayes and musical guest Janelle Monae.

Man, 20, accused of critically injuring 2-year-old
Police: Man shoved girl to ground
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 20-year-old man was arrested Saturday after a 2-year-old girl suffered life-threatening head injuries.
Devonte Baker is charged with aggravated child abuse, causing great bodily harm, permanent disability and disfigurement.
Police said the girl was in Baker's care when receiving a head injury. They said Baker told the child's parent or guardian that she had slipped and fell into the shower.
The officer who responded said "the degree of injury was not proportionate to the mechanism of injury," according to a police report.
Police said when they questioned Baker, he gave different false accounts of what happened that did not match up with the girl's injuries. His final version was that he had gotten frustrated with the girl because she was whining and crying after injuring her lip in the shower, police said.
Baker told investigators he shoved the girl to the ground and she struck the floor, according to the police report. He said he didn't call for help because he was scared and was hoping the girl would just wake up, according to the report.

The only vinegar I have is apple cider vinegar, does it matter? I saw somewhere online that rubbing alcohol would be okay, but have mostly seen vinegar used, and the tropical fish ebook from here said dish washing liquid.
So I don't know what I should use. I am in the process of resealing the tank.

Federal Judge Lawrence O'Neill lifted his temporary restraining order on the release of Trinity River water this Thursday (Aug., 22, 2013), thus deciding against a preliminary injunction which would have halted any release until a pending lawsuit over the issue is settled. As a result of Judge O'Neill's decision, this Sun, Aug 25, the flow from Lewiston Dam to the Trinity River will begin to increase. The Trinity River is the main tributory of the Klamath River. See the map below for the location of Lewiston Dam.
Judge O'Neill got involved after the Federal Bureau of Reclamation had authorized the flows to begin on Aug. 13, to protect the fish. Subsequently, the Westlands Water District and the San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority sued the bureau claiming the releases would decrease already low water allocations available to farmers. In his decision Judge O'Neill found that blocking the flows would do greater harm to the tribes and the fisheries, if an injunction was granted, than it would to the water districts.
The day before Judge O'Neill's decision to release the water, a group of Hoopa Valley Tribal members demonstrated in Fresno at the location where the hearing on the matter was to be held - the aim being to convey the impacts that a large-scale fish kill would have on the people of the Klamath and Trinity Rivers.
Hear more details on this story in a piece submitted by Kelly Lincoln and aired on the KMUD Local News on Friday, Aug. 23, 2013.

Salvatore Ted Arena, age 42, of Freshwater is being sought for suspected abandonment of three dogs, Angel, Becky and Ginger, that had belonged to his brother who passed away this February. According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, Arena is believed to have left the area headed for the east coast, and they will be seeking warrant for his arrest. The original and updated press releases appear below.
HCSO Press Release, dated Aug. 22, 2013:
On 08/21/13 an Officer from the California Highway Patrol brought three dogs into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Animal Shelter that were found running in the roadway on New Navy Base Road at Lincoln Avenue in Fairhaven. The dogs are a black Labrador retriever mix, approximately 12 years old, a brown German shepherd mix, approximately 10 years old, and a brown Airedale Terrier mix, approximately 10 years old. All three dogs are female.
On 08/21/13 Animal Shelter staff located a posting on Craigslist from 08/08/13 from an unidentified person in Freshwater who stated that their neighbor is/was moving to the East Coast and had three dogs that he could not keep. There were photos of the dogs on the Craigslist posting and they are the same dogs as those brought into the shelter. The back yard of a residence is clearly visible in one of the photographs.
On 08/22/13 Animal Shelter staff located a second posting on Craigslist about the dogs. This posting is from someone who saw a male subject abandon the dogs on New Navy Base Road and Bay St. The posting states that a male subject in his mid-30's with short hair, driving a newer black 4 wheel drive truck left the dogs and was telling them to "stay" as he drove away. One of the dogs was nearly struck by a car while chasing the truck down the road. It is not clear if the person responsible for this Craigslist post was the person who reported the loose dogs to CHP. Animal Shelter staff has replied to both Craigslist postings but have not received any response.
Abandonment of an animal is a crime. The Sheriff's Office Animal Control Division is asking for the public's help to identify the owner of these dogs. Anyone who recognizes the dogs and/or the back yard of the residence in the photographs is asked to call Animal Control Officer Hale at 707-840-9132 or the Crime Tip Line, 707-268-2539
HCSO Updated Press Release, dated Aug., 23, 2013:
The Humboldt County Sheriff's Office has positively identified the suspect in this case as Salvatore Ted Arena, age 42, of Freshwater. The three dogs, Angel, Becky and Ginger, had belonged to Arena's brother who passed away suddenly in February of this year. Arena began trying to surrender the dogs to local rescues about one week ago stating that he was moving to the East Coast. Gail Holder of K-9 Angels Rescue had been in frequent contact with Arena and was working to try to get the dogs into foster care. She received a call from him on 08/21/13 just before the dogs were found abandoned in Fairhaven. Arena told her that he had to leave the following morning and that he could not put the dogs in his truck and take them across the country with him.
The Sheriff's Office will be seeking a warrant for Arena's arrest. At this time we have reason to believe that he has already left the area. Anyone having information to the contrary is asked to contact the Sheriff's Animal Control Division, 707 840-9132, or the Crime Tip Line, 707-268-2539.

On Monday September 9, 2013, Detective Fulton returned to the Slate Creek Area to continue the search for missing person Anna Rodriquez. Detective Fulton and other members of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office had searched an area of Slate Creek last week, after it was reported to Fulton that possible human remains had been located.

This Monday, Fulton was lead back to the campsite by the persons who originally reported finding the remains. Detective Fulton did locate multiple bones, believed to be human. The area these remains were found was within a disheveled camp site. There were also other documents located that leads investigators to believe this was a camp once occupied by Rodriquez. The remains were collected and have been turned over to the Humboldt County Coroner for possible identification and determination of a cause of death.
A search of the campsite and immediate area of the campsite did not offer any evidence as a cause of death for the individual whose remains were found. There was also nothing located to suspect foul play as a result of the death, but has not been ruled out.

"Whiskey's for drinkin' and water's for fightin", a quote often attributed to Mark Twain, could just as well be changed to: "Whiskey's for drinking and water's for stealing", as evidenced by the recent news of suspected water thefts in our North Coast region. Areas hit by suspected water thieves include Redway and Myers Flat, Ukiah, and recently Weott.
The first Weott incident occurred around July 26 and resulted in a loss of approximately 10,000 gallons. A few days later a second Weott episode left some families without water, and emergency efforts to rebuild the water storage resulted in leaks in the system causing more water loss. The worsening series of events prompted the Weott Community Services District to call on the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors to approve a resolution proclaiming the Existence of a Local Emergency to the Weott Water Delivery System. According to KMUD News Correspondent Daniel Mintz, (audio report below) repair of the leaks in the system may require closure of the Avenue of the Giants for a period of two weeks.

Last Thurs., Aug. 8, 2013, after a truck was reported stolen, a Eureka Police officer spotted the vehicle and allegedly identified the driver as 29 year-old Paul Bareilles (see photo above). According to a press release from the Eureka Police Department, the officer gave chase but lost the vehicle as it turned onto the Sequoia Park Duck Pond Road. Reportedly, Bareilles drove the wrong way down this one-way road, crashed through a gate, and subsequently into a redwood tree and fled the scene.
The press release indicates that the suspect, Bareilles, has a history of prior auto theft and possession of stolen vehicle convictions. EPD is asking for the public's help in locating the suspect. The full press release appears below.
Press Release from the Eureka Police Department:
On 8-8-2013, at about 0547 hours, a citizen reported that his 1994 Ford F250 work truck was stolen from the 3300 block of H Street in Eureka. A short time after Sergeant Reyna-Sanchez finished approving the stolen auto report, at about 1047 hours, he saw the stolen pick up being driven by 29 year old Paul Bareilles at Glatt and W Street. Upon making eye contact with Sgt Reyna-Sanchez, Bareilles accelerated west/bound on Glatt Street at a high rate of speed. Sgt Reyna-Sanchez lost sight of the stolen truck as it turned onto the Sequoia Park Duck Pond Road. This roadway is a winding single lane, one way roadway that is the exit point for duck pond users. Bareilles drove the Ford F250 the wrong way, down to the duck pond. At the bottom of the hill, Bareilles turned onto a pedestrian pathway, crashing through the vehicle barrier gate. Bareilles drove on the path until he crashed into a redwood tree, causing major damage to the truck. Although his speeds were not witnessed, the destroyed gate and truck speak to speeds that were too dangerous for the conditions. EPD patrol officers set up a perimeter and conducted a search to no avail. The Eureka Police Department is working with the DA's office to expedite an arrest warrant for Bareilles.
Paul Bareilles has a long history with auto theft and has convictions for auto theft and the possession of stolen vehicles. He was currently out on bail for another auto theft charge that is pending. Bareilles has either been arrested or named as a suspect in about 10 separate investigations since 2005 with the Eureka Police Department. In lieu of an arrest warrant, the Eureka Police Department has issued a Penal Code 836 arrest authorization. PC 836 allows state law enforcement officers to make an arrest for a felony offense based on probable cause.
Anyone with information of his whereabouts should counsel Bareilles to turn himself in or advise law enforcement of his location. Anyone with information can call EPD dispatch at 441-4044.
