Russell's Legacy
Russell touched a lot of lives in his just-short-of-fifteen years.
Diagnosed with leukemia the day before his 4th birthday and then with a brain tumor a few weeks after his 13th, Russell has had what most people would call a rough life. Well, most people except Russell. During his 4+ years of treatment, faced with some of the most painful and unpleasant conditions and procedures humans ever experience, Russell riveted all who came near him with his courage, patience, and of all things, inexplicable grace.
Doctors, nurses, friends, family, even strangers. Most of them walked away from their time with Russell and report similar feelings. Why isn't he complaining? How can he be so willing? How come I feel better after being with Russell? For those of us close to Russell it is so obvious.
Russell knew Jesus.
Russell met Jesus face-to-face at 1:26 this morning. He was peaceful.
Make no mistake. Those of us left behind here at the hospital with Russell's empty body are hurting deeply. We feel a great loss. But make no second mistake. We have been blessed beyond words by the experience. At his side, we have laughed out loud and cried 'till we were dry. But we have known the Real Deal! We've been touched by greatness. We have known, right up close, a real hero in our lives. We have known Russell.
"Thank you" does not seem enough to say for your sustaining words and care but we do feel and mean it from deep inside.
Update: This was written by Russell's parents, not by me. Sorry.

I know we talked last night about how Russell was doing.
My heart is out to his family and my prayers that he is at peace.

Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will basically never leave 'The Voice': 'They love the paycheck,' NBC boss jokes
Ever wonder why Adam Levine and Blake Shelton never seem to be the ones giving up their red chairs on The Voice? Now you have your answer!
"They love doing the show and they love the paycheck," NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt joked to reporters on Tuesday's summer Television Critics Association press tour session.
RELATED: Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys Join 'The Voice' Season 11
Levine and Shelton have been the two constants -- along with host Carson Daly -- over the course of 11 cycles of NBC's popular singing competition series. They've remained as coaches on The Voice, while the two other coaches have been a rotating stable of musicians. Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys will join the duo this fall.
"If I can compare it to a scripted show, you kind of have your series regulars that you love. They are always hugely popular whenever we do testing and we've done a fair amount of that over 11 cycles," Greenblatt explained. "We think they're the pillars of the show and then we have this revolving family of Gwen [Stefani], Pharrell, now Miley and Alicia joining the pack."

Jennifer Salke, NBC Entertainment President, echoed Greenblatt's sentiments, saying that whenever new blood comes into the fray, it "always stirs up their bromance. It's fun to watch."
RELATED: Adam Levine Responds to Rumors He's Leaving 'The Voice'
"We think the heart of it is those two guys and what they've built and their relationship and the surprise of the new people," Greenblatt added.
Earlier this year, Levine's season 10 mentees seemed to be under the impression that the 37-year-old Maroon 5 frontman would take a break from the show once his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, gives birth. Of course, that's not the case.
"Oh man," Adam quipped to ET in response during an April interview. "I'm gonna leave here and I don't even know where I'm going. I don't think that far ahead. We'll see."
In May, Shelton addressed rumors that he was leaving The Voice, setting the record straight in an interview with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on the Today show.
RELATED: Bette Midler, Charlie Puth and Sammy Hagar to Serve as 'Voice' Mentors
"I've heard many rumors that I've been fired," Shelton admitted. "I don't plan on going anywhere. I'd like to stay there as long as I can. Of course I'm going to stay there!"
"The moron is coming back, too," the country star said of Levine. "It's going to be a lot of fun."
The Voice returns Sept. 19, with a special half-hour post-Olympics preview airing Aug. 21 on NBC.

Aviation History
170 FLIGHT, 10 February \%\ Air Power and its Significance MARSHAL OF THE RAF SIR DERHOT BOYLE ON THE ROLE OF THE ROYAL AIR FORCE Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Dermot Boyle, Chief of the Air Staff until his retirement from Service life in 1959, was guest speaker on Thursday of last week of the Durham University Air Squadron and Officers Training Corps. Lecturing in the new Physics Auditorium at King's College, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, he spoke about "The Role of the Royal Air Force"—putting his subject into a perspective acquired from his long experience as a staff officer. The following report summarizes his chief points. SIR DERMOT, with the modest proviso that his observationswould take the form of "a little look at the present" plussome guesses about the future, first went back to the begin- ning—to the formation of the Royal Air Force in 1918, whichcame about "because a few great men saw a future role for the Air Force." At first there was opposition to the new Service, and in 1921 adetermined drive to wipe it out. The Naval view was that ships would go on as before; the Air Force foresaw that aeroplaneswould be able to sink ships. The Army position was that they wanted "a little air force of their own." The Air Staff had to say "no" to these things, for severaldifferent reasons. In addition, to make the best use of air- craft, the Air Force had to be centrally controlled. Trenchardand the men around him saw aircraft as a means of imposing your will on the enemy; they argued that attack was the best form ofdefence. Trenchard used to say, "if for each fighter built I could have a bomber. . . ." But bombers are not popular in peacetime;and in 1919 this Air Staff was the only organization preaching this gospel. Mentioning here some of "the little things that needed to bedone" when the RAF was being organized, Sir Dermot told a story of an inter-Service committee which was discussing RAFranks. One Army view was that major was a sufficiently high rank for anyone in the RAF: Trenchard was determined to havemarshals. The chairman of the committee, trying to be impartial, instanced Field Marshals and Marshals of France as establishedinstitutions. "Yes," said Trenchard impatiently, "and Provost Marshals, court martials and Marshall and Snelgrove." (Oneofficer to whom Sir Dermot told this story looked at him gravely on its conclusion, then said: "I always thought Trenchardcouldn't spell.") Tactical Air Force All the early predictions, said Sir Dermot, turned out to beright when war came—though it didn't seem so at the time of Dunkirk. It was hard for chaps on the ground, longing for thesight of friendly aircraft, to realize that their own air support was operating far ahead. He told a story of an evacuation he hndorganized from Brest. The ship was packed with airmen, and having seen an enemy reconnaissance aircraft overhead he told theNaval authorities, who had delayed the departure because of mines, that unless they got the vessel away in two hours it was doomed.But when he came back at dawn, after a brief rest, it was still there safe and sound : one of three Hurricanes left behind had shotdown that reconnaissance aircraft. Sir Dermot recalled Churchill's famous summing-up of the evacuation from France: "There wasa victory inside this deliverance. ... It was gained by the Air Force." Plans had been made for the defence of Britain, under whichit would have been wrong to squander any more forces on the Continent. The Battle of Britain was the first time the Luftwaffehad come up against airmen acting as airmen, not as a branch of the Army; it was a battle which had been foreseen years before.Winning it meant we were almost certain to win the war; victory provided a base in Europe from which the Americans couldoperate. From that day the enemy was on the retreat. Air power was now beginning to work in the way the Air Staffhad foreseen years before. Accumulation of supplies in the Middle East enabled a tactical air force to be built up; air forces centrallycontrolled can be assigned to any task and arm. This was later shown in Normandy, a tactical air force being supported bystrategic bombers. The Battle of Britain, Sir Dermot reiterated, won the war; butthere was one need: that our shipping should not fail. In the Battle of the Atlantic, all types of aircraft were used, includingfighters; the RAF sank as many ships as the Royal Navy at the height of the battle. Further, 88 per cent of shipping sunk in theBaltic and on the Eastern seaboard fell to the RAF. Sir Dermot next referred to the value of air reconnaissanceduring the Second World War. Probably its most spectacular result was the discovery of the V-sites, so that we were able toforestall the German plan to "fire the whole lot in one night on London." Air support, he said, is the vital thing in strategic airreconnaissance. As our air support increased, it ended at once enemy air reconnaissance over this country; similarly, what wouldthe enemy have given at the time of the Normandy invasion to know what was going on in the south of England? On air transport, the former CAS remarked that by the end ofthe war we had vast forces; at its beginning, none. The original presumption was, "when you get air superiority, you can use thecivil airlines." Had Germany, he said, put a quarter of the effort into strategic air forces that went into other forms of air powershe would have won the Battle of Britain; and if our Air Staff had put their effort into transports, we would have lost it. TheGermans were not so squeamish, or were more ignorant, or more hard-pressed: lack of protection for their transports meant that—in the Mediterranean, for example—the number we shot down was "slaughter." On the other hand, air transport where theprotective situation was not so critical was used successfully—as in Burma, where troops were moved and supplied by air. Ability to Retaliate Bomber Command, said Sir Dermot, he had left till last, thoughnot out of any disrespect for its achievement. It was the only Command which operated against the German homeland through-out the length of the war, with "oil, fuel and ammunition" as its operational directive for targets. It was ineffective at first, becauseit was not big enough; it had to train to bomb at night; but it secured a tremendous psychological advantage, gradually pushingthe enemy on to the defensive. Germany was using 400,000 men on AA defence in 1942, 900,000 in 1944—equivalent to RAFstrength all round the world. In one year, 30 per cent of German weapon production was on AA guns. In 1944, we dropped fivetimes the tonnage of bombs we dropped in 1943. Bomber Command played a major part in three campaigns: inthe Battle of Britain, by attacking invasion barges; in the Battle of the Atlantic, attacking submarines in their pens; and in homedefence by attacking flying bomb sites. By the time of the Normandy invasion we had a thousand bombers; but the bomberforce only cost 12 per cent of the war effort in this country. What would have happened, asked Sir Dermot, if we had had this forceat the beginning of the war? In Bomber Comrmnd we lost 47.000 people, nearly all aircrew, nearly all volunteers—"a terrible price " Sir Dermot summed up the role of the RAF in the last war asthat of gaining the necessary air superiority for operations of any kind to go ahead, and using this power to win the war in any way itcould. Referring to the role of the RAF today, he said that in conventional warfare there was no change, though it had certainobligations (e.g. NATO). Would there be another conventional war? This was the first time in history that there had been aweapon of virtually unlimited power, one which could be made smaller and better. Both East and West have these weapons, andth: ability to deliver them. If both sides have the known ability to retaliate in kind using nuclear weapons there will never be anew global war, said Sir Dermot; neither will they get involved in a conventional war. If they want to gain their point they will doso by other means. For one side not to have this nuclear ability. and the other side to have it, is to encourage aggression. Forlocal affairs, quick action is essential, therefore the RAF has a large transport force. Referring back to "the early theories," Sir Dermot stressed thatattack and the ability to retaliate were the best forms of defence. Deterrent ability gives a longer covering than insurance: it stopsthe war happening. He summed-up: "I think we're going to find nuclear weapons, those ghastly things, may be the best deterrent.In the inter-war years, the Air Force was too small to be of use; now it is too powerful to be used."

On the (f)utility of pain measures
Karl C. Kranz, DC, Esq., is the Executive Director/Staff Counsel for the New York State Chiropractic Association. In this post Dr. Kranz offers an "interesting twist on the concept of pain…" and a few thoughts. These call into question the "utility" of pain measures and, in some ways, the "futility" of justifying reimbursement based on a demonstration of "functional improvement" if that "improvement" is based, in part, on a subjective pain measurements. In our quest to help patients with their pain, it is necessary and helpful to remember that a patient's goal of "0" pain on a pain scale may not always be the best target for our interventions.
As brief as the article link below is, it speaks again to the subjective nature of pain. As you may recall from a previous email (Mar 2), a journalist questioned recently what it mean to be a "2" out of "5" (or 10) on pain particularly since there is no standard for a "2" or "5" ("10"). In a Cartesian mind-body dualistic and theoretical point of view, this article calls into question again the "utility" of pain measures and, in some ways, the "futility" of justifying reimbursement (including Workers' Compensation) based on a demonstration of "functional improvement" if that "improvement" is based, in part, on a subjective pain measurements. While the "numbers" supplied by patients and scored from different tests and measures might assuage us into believing that there is some sort of quantifiable, deterministic objectivity in patient supplied numbers, the specificity of the exercise seems deceptive. The whole pain measurement system seems messy and slipshod but what is the alternative?
The article also underscores, albeit in an indirect and subtle way, the two-decade long debate about whether evidence-based medicine is applicable to CAM; the insistence of medical critics of CAM that nothing from CAM should be accepted by medicine without evidence from systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of CAM, as if all of medicine were supported by such evidence. [See: Bloom BS. Commentary. What is this nonsense that complementary and alternative medicine is not amendable to controlled investigation of population effects? Acad. Med. 2001; 76(12): 1221-1223.; Gorski DH, Novella SP. Clinical trials of integrative medicine: testing whether magic works? Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2014; DOI: 10.1016/j.molmed.2014.06.007; Byerstein BL. Alternative Medicine and Common Errors of Reasoning. Acad. Med. 2001; 76: 230-237.; Sierpina VS, Philips B. Need for scholarly, objective inquiry into alternative therapies. Acad. Med. 2001; 76: 863-864.]
Loretta Kopelman, PhD argues that "CAM should not be exempt from rigorous testing and should be examined using either the best available methods or the same methods used to test conventional therapies. This is because, first, CAM cannot be differentiated well enough from conventional interventions to justify different testing standards. I will argue . . . that important and well-known proposals about how to separate conventional medicine and CAM fail to distinguish them for the purpose of excusing CAM from rigorous testing standards. If they cannot be clearly distinguished, it is questionable why one set of interventions should be exempt from rigorous testing and another should not." [Kopelman LM. The Role of Science in Assessing Conventional, Complementary, and Alternative Medicines. In Callahan D. (Ed). The Role of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Accommodating Pluralism. Washington, DC: Georgetown University Press, 2002, pp: 36-53.]
And at the opposite pole . . . several critics to the Academic Medicine articles above, point out that the authors of those articles "went beyond healthy skepticism and showed a strong bias toward how to reveal the 'quacks,' and that looking for the evidence supporting complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is a failure or misconception," since "it is diametrically opposed to the development of evidence-based medical practice." [Frenkel M, Ben-Arye E. Letters to the Editor. Acad. Med. 2002 Sep; 77(9):869-875. Those who intimate that the biomedical research hierarchy may not be applicable to CAM are convinced but less strident than CAM opponents. See: Astin JA. Complementary and alternative medicine and the need for evidence-based criticism. Acad. Med. 2002; 77(9): 864-868.; Tonelli MR, Callahan TC. Why alternative medicine cannot be evidence-based. Acad. Med. 2001 Dec; 76(12) 1213-1220.; Tonelli MR. The philosophical limits of evidence-based medicine. Acad. Med. 1998 Dec; 73(12): 1234-1240.; Taylor DK, Buterakos J. Commentary. Evidence-based medicine: not as simple as it seems. Acad. Med. 1998 Dec; 73(12): 1221-1222.; Keshet Y. The untenable boundaries of biomedical knowledge: epistemologies and rhetoric strategies in the debate over evaluating complementary and alternative medicine. Health 2009; 13(2); 131-155.]
Clearly, as Julia Segar pointed out the obvious, "[d]ebates over the efficacy of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are highly polarized . . . ." [Segar J. Complementary and alternative medicine: Exploring the gap between evidence and usage. Health 2011; 16(4): 366-381.]
It seems that ideological dogmatism springs forth from all sides, which raises an interesting epistemological question of why people believe the things that they do and why do they often appear so certain in their personal beliefs.
One problem seems to be that those in control of health care reimbursement are populated by the former rather than the latter and that, justified or not, reimbursement revolves around the biomedical, evidence-based research hierarchy and tyranny of the evidence (a Triano-ism) [See: Cohen MH. Chapter 8: Third-Party Reimbursement. In: Cohen MH. Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Legal Boundaries and Regulatory Perspectives. Baltimore, MD: John Hopkins University Press, 1998, pp. 96-108.]
In any case, after that long aside, this article points to a piece of an alternative research hierarchy based, in part, on ethnography and ethnographic fieldwork, similar perhaps, to the sort of fieldwork promoted by Ian Coulter, PhD at RAND, and a part of Health Services Research. [See: Coulter ID, Khorsan R. Chapter 7. Health Services Research as a Form of Evidence and CAM. In: Lewith GT, Jonas WB, Walach H. (Eds). Clinical Research in Complementary Therapies. Principles, Problems and Solutions. (Second Ed) New York: Churchill, Livingstone, Elsevier, 2011, pp.: 135-147.]
Here, the author highlights his "longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork" which adds fodder to the debate about whether the RCT is or should be the center of the universe around which evidence-based medicine turns, or is it an ideological black hole sucking air out of scientific epistemology, after all, how can you measure a patient's pain and suffering with an RCT objectively except by subjective proxy measures. And are these proxy measures really objective quantifiers of science, or quantifiers of subjective science? It is interesting on how the author, or rather his patients and acquaintances distinguish between "pain" and "suffering" . . . And his interpretation of their spoken language, not only focuses attention on the problem of communicating what is in the patient's mind, and communicating meaning in terms of the subjective philosophy of language and linguistics, but it illustrates the ongoing dilemma of the mind-body dualism and its post-modernistic interpretation.

Rebecca Galemba sent me this note about a large gathering this Thursday at 3 at the Free Speech Wall to go and talk with Chancellor Rebecca Chopp about strengthening measures to protect DACA students against the Trump onslaught. In conversation with our group, Chancellor Chopp has already taken important steps. Hoping to strengthen these, last Friday a meeting of 21 of us called for this gathering. For instance, many of us feel that the word sanctuary is an important moral term for the actions every decent person should take about Trump's threatened police state moves. Originally a term for Catholic protection for those persecuted, it became in the 1980s a name for that Church, for synagogues and for cities who provided safe havens for people fleeing the murderous, American-armed dictatorships in Central America, particularly Salvador and Honduras. In fact, Los Angeles was the first North American place of sanctuary starting in 1979 (sanctuary for LA meant no cooperation with Federal immigration authorities). H/t Jaser Alsharshen.
Sanctuary was then and is now an action against the repressive policies of a US government in violation of human rights and drunken on its own power. In every classroom, at Universities and otherwise, each student is an equal, deserving of respect as an individual, not to be singled out/grouped for harm. The idea that the Government would intervene on our campus – or on public school campuses – to sweep up some people and throw them away is morally offensive.
And what is the worth of our community and of democratic education – education for honorable citizenship – if we allow such a thing?
Standing up for our fellow students is standing up for community. DU and other universities (and counties and states) should be sanctuaries.
Some 300 cities, counties and states are now sanctuary jurisdictions, including the cities of New Orleans and Boston, and the entire states of California, Connecticut, New Mexico and Colorado (Centre for Immigration Studies).
The University of Pennsylvania, Wesleyan, Reed, Portland State, Drake, Connecticut College, Pitzer, Santa Fe Community College and Swarthmore, among others, have declared their space sanctuaries.
Here is Rebecca's note:
"Last week Chancellor Chopp sent out a letter to the University of Denver community addressing threats to the safety its members and expressing the university's intention to 'stand strong in its commitment to protect and support all members of our community.' While we appreciate the expressed commitment, we would like to see more clearly articulated plans in place to safeguard all members of our community.
We have an appointment with Chancellor Chopp this Thursday and we would like for you to join us.
We will meet at 3pm on Thursday January 19 at the Free Speech Wall (next to Driscoll Student Center) and march to the chancellor's office.
Tuesday Jan 17 at 3pm we'll gather at Sie Complex 3130 to make signs and banners.
Please come and help spread the word. This is an important event not only to demonstrate that DU community members will stand up for each other but also to encourage DU administration to put stronger plans and more specific safeguards in place.
Thank you for your support."

The jury in George Zimmerman's murder trial continued its second day of deliberations Saturday, weighing whether the neighborhood watch volunteer committed a crime almost a year and a half ago when he fatally shot Trayvon Martin.
Jurors reconvened Saturday morning, deliberated for three hours and then broke for lunch. They resumed their discussions about 1 p.m.
Meanwhile, about two dozen people gathered outside the courthouse awaiting a verdict, with supporters of the Martin family outnumbering those there for Zimmerman. One man held a sign that read, "We love you George." A woman lay in the grass in a hoodie, her arms spread, in a re-creation of Martin's death.
On Twitter, Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, shared what she called her favorite Bible verse: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

A measure of an exceptional actor is not only their ability to embrace the character mentally, but also physically. Sports movies especially demand an immense level of commitment to achieve the body to match the words. Miles Teller (Whiplash, The Spectacular Now) brings yet another stellar performance in the incredible true story of Vinny Pazienza's rise to the top.
From the offset, this Italian-American Junior Welterweight boxer's arrogance is evident, opting to spend his time gambling away money instead of completing vital pre-fight preparation. This carelessness forces him to desperate lengths in order to make weight and the dehydration he suffers ultimately becomes his downfall in the ring. After a series of embarrassing defeats, his father (Ciaran Hinds) hires the famed trainer of Mike Tyson, Kevin Rooney (Aaron Eckhart), in an attempt to revitalise his career. In a move considered suicidal by the rest of Pazienza's team, Rooney recommends a shift in division, up to the Junior Welterweight. Here Vinny thrives, no longer cutting corners to make weight and ultimately winning the title bout.
In typical Pazienza fashion, Vinny heads to a casino in order to celebrate his comeback victory, however a devastating head-on collision on the journey there cuts the festivities short. His spine may have been broken but his spirit most certainly isn't as he immediately expresses the desire to get back into the ring as soon as possible. This lust to continue boxing is not shared by his team nor his family, who collectively become resigned to the seemingly obvious truth that the Pazmanian Devil's career is over.
Upon leaving the hospital, Vinny's head resembles scaffolding after receiving multiple screws to the skull. Although the device, named a Halo, has the potential for clear religious parallels, cinematographer Larkin Seiple purposely strays away from provoking such themes. Instead, his mother Louise (Katey Sagal) is the beacon of religion choosing to listen to her son's fights in a nearby room filled with holy tokens rather than watch him get hurt.
Quickly becoming frustrated with his newfound immobility and reliance on others, Vinny begins to secretly train in the basement of their family home and soon after Rooney is persuaded against his better judgement to assist. Initially the training is strenuous with the bar being the extent of what Vinny can manage. One Rocky-esque training montage later though and his return to the ring seems more realistic. This does not go unnoticed, with his father Angelo quick to condemn their actions and refusing to become involved, not wishing to see his son further injured.
What follows is by no means groundbreaking, nor does it push the boundaries of the boxing genre forward, but is entirely captivating nevertheless. Director Ben Younger conveys the dogged determination and resilience of Pazienza's journey brilliantly with highly commendable performances from Eckhart and Teller. The lack of emotional depth however is an ever-present one which, aside from making this picture a simple watch, hinders it from entering the domain of the boxing classic.

The fact that it is located less than a mile from the start/finish area of the race is the first perk to staying in this beautiful water front Inn & Spa. I have posted it's location on the Race Start/Finish Area Map and their website has enough information to convince you to come up Friday and leave Sunday.
The details that I need to share with you:
1) Rooms are reduced to $199 a night for a Full View (of the water) King or $189 for a Side View King. These rates are good for 3/15 and 3/16. You can stay for one or two nights.
2) We will be hosting our prerace packet pickup in their Baker Conference room on Friday night. (more details on that in a future post!)
3) To make a reservation call 360-756-1005 and let them know that you are a participant in the Chuckanut 50k.

About Balboa Thrift and Loan
For over 35 years, Balboa Thrift and Loan has provided customized financial products and services to meet the needs in our community.
Our History
Balboa Thrift and Loan was organized as a California Industrial Loan Company under the laws of the State of California and opened in Chula Vista, on July 7,1980. It was organized to provide financial services to businesses and consumers in our community. Balboa Thrift and Loan has since established branches in Claremont, La Quinta and Fresno CA, to serve the financial needs of those communities. Balboa Thrift and Loan qualified for federal deposit insurance through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and is now regulated by the FDIC. The FDIC guarantees the safety of your deposits in Balboa Thrift and Loan up to $250,000 per depositor.
When the first industrial loan companies (known more formally as thrifts) began in the early part of the 20th century they provided loans primarily to industrial workers. Banks tended to serve only businesses and middle-to-high-income individuals. Thrifts grew as they addressed a borrowing class considered unprofitable to larger commercial banks. Balboa's loan portfolio has continued to reflect this history. Balboa Thrift and Loan has historically granted numerous smaller real estate loans, automobile financing and small commercial loans to individuals and small businesses that other institutions didn't have the flexibility to make.
Balboa Thrift and Loan is uniquely qualified to serve the credit needs of all communities. The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was passed in 1977 to mandate and encourage the nation's financial institutions to identify and help meet the credit needs of their local communities, including low-to-moderate-income neighborhoods. Consequently, Balboa Thrift and Loan supports the spirit and intent of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Balboa grants loans to its customers, in the primary market areas of San Diego, Riverside, Fresno and portions of Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Orange counties.
In recent years Balboa Thrift and Loan has focused on automobile and real estate loans originated through a network of automobile dealers, brokers and agents located throughout our service area. Balboa maintains its entrepreneurial approach to the marketplace, and has the capacity for a rapid response and ability to adjust to market conditions. A strong commitment to customer service has helped attract both depositors and borrowers.
In 2001, we moved our headquarters to a more spacious and convenient location within the City of Chula Vista, CA. Balboa Thrift and Loan enjoys an excellent reputation for customer service and responsiveness. With limited amounts of advertising and other promotional activities, Balboa has stressed community awareness through the involvement of Balboa Thrift and Loan's officers and directors in community organizations and events.
Our staff skills and proven expertise ensure customers receive personalized quality service. Our products and services are designed and competitively priced with greater flexibility to meet the needs of our customers.

Save The Bees, Else We'll Cease To Be!
You wake up to the heavenly scent of coffee brewing in the kitchen, and a freshly tossed fruit salad awaits you at the table. Next, you catch a whiff of the aroma of a chocolate cake being baked in the oven.
Now, that sounded truly delectable, didn't it? What if we told you that with the extinction of one tiny insect, these delicacies would perish too! Those tiny insects are the bees, without whom much of the food that we enjoy today would be off the table. Albert Einstein himself stated that if the bees disappeared from the surface of the earth, the human race would follow in four years.
Albert Einstein himself stated that if the bees disappeared from the surface of the earth, the human race would follow in four years.
Why are bees so critical for our survival?
Bees are one of the most important allies of human beings. Bees are generally viewed as honey-producers and unwanted pests due to their sometimes fatal stings. However, they are the world's greatest pollinators. They pollinate 80 percent of the world's food crops and there are numerous industries dependent upon bee pollination. The revenue generated by bees globally is valued in billions. Some of the industries dependent upon bee pollination are agriculture, dairy, meat, cosmetics, honey, oilseeds, and clothing. In India, where the agricultural, textile, and oilseed industries bring in most of our national revenue, bees are a significant addition to our lives.
But, due to a very unfortunate phenomenon, namely CCD, bee population is experiencing a major decline in the past decade. No, not Cafe Coffee Day! Colony Collapse Disorder.
What is Colony Collapse Disorder?
In this hapless occurrence, the majority of worker bees in a colony are wiped out, leaving behind the queen and a few nurse bees along with heaps of unwanted food.
The main causes for this happening are agricultural pesticides and insecticides, parasites such as the varroa mite and nosema ceranae, GMO production, lack of nutrition and habitat, cell phone radiation, and global warming.
Colony Collapse Disorder has already caused drastic ecological and economical impacts around the world. For example, in California, many almond farmers hire bees from Europe to pollinate their almond trees as the United States has reported a severe decline in bee population due to CCD. Without the service of the bees, California would not be able to produce its famous high quality almonds.
In India too, the effects of CCD are on the rise. Although the local Cerana variety of bees contribute towards pollination, there has been a noticeable decline in their population. It is only a matter of time before we are in serious trouble. It will spell disaster to our economy. Many pesticides and fertilisers which harm the bees have been banned in other parts of the world, but are still being used in our country.
Even though the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 is supposed to protect bees, they are easily and ruthlessly wiped out. Especially in urban India, with the increase in population and deforestation, bees build their hives in high-rise buildings as they have no other options. They are fumigated or smoked out without a thought, leading to the death of millions of bee colonies.
Many pesticides and fertilisers which harm the bees have been banned in other parts of the world, but are still being used in our country.
Some very simple things that we can all do to protect our striped friends are:
1. Plant bee-attracting flowers and do not remove weeds from your garden.
2. Support organic farmers and say NO to pesticides and fertilisers. Do not buy genetically modified products or those containing GM ingredients.
3. Provide water in a tiny bowl for thirsty bees and save them from dehydration, especially during the summer.
4. Invest in a bee-box and become a backyard bee-keeper. The Cerana variety of bees, which can be domesticated, are great pollinators. And, they are harmless!
5. If you locate a bee-hive in your neighbourhood, do not call on pest control as they will harm the bees. Instead, call an ethical beekeeper who will know a safe method of relocating the colony.
6. Spread awareness!
Flaming Phoenix is comprised of six high-spirited, young environmentalists (Rachita Rajesh, Sahana Athreya, Aditya Vasisht, Aditya Uchill, Akshay B. Sivaraman, and Ratan Shankar) who are students of grades eight and nine from Greenwood High International School, Bengaluru. Our team has an undying passion to save our winged friends by spreading awareness about their important role in our lives.

What a fun and different way to spend a Saturday. We truly live in a beautiful and diverse city – with so much to explore! I was born and have grown up in good old 'Durbs' and never knew of the incredible history that we Durbanites get to share in. (I probably should have listened more during History lessons -oh well!)
So my day started off with a nice iced tea and muffin at Corner Café with TwoSlice and my friend (and our photographer for the day) Derryn. The sun was shining – we couldn't have asked for a better day! I seriously was walking around thinking 'Oh my goodness, is this really happening, what a day, I love this!) We then all climbed into our silver tour machine– all very excited for our adventure around the city (I must admit I was a little nervous too, I don't always like not knowing what's going to happen.) Oh yes and Jonas & Paul from The La Els and Matt & Marty from City Bowl Mizers joined us, great guys – you should be their friend…and listen to their music… They were a hoot!
So we stop in Ridge road, outside the OLDEST house in Durban – The Elephant House – which has been there for 160ish years. How amazing that it was still standing and the great, great, great grandson of the original owner was now living there?! Then back into the bus and on our way… We got to travel through I.N.K (Inanda, Ntuzuma, KwaMashu ) and really experience the life that we (well a young white city girl like me) don't often get to see and truly experience. I must say it was quite something – almost emotional – to walk around the place where Ghandi stayed for 21 years and then to walk the same ramp that Mandela did when he cast his first vote in 1994 – I didn't know that, our amazing ex-President was here in humble Durbs, making history!
We then got to quench our thirst at Sfiso's Store with some locals and really get into the groove of things (there was a 'jukebox' that was playing rad tunes that seemed to call all the locals to come hang out!) Oh and yes, we got to go and see a real 'Rusta' cave. It was in a beautiful setting, overlooking a valley, we felt miles away (and to think we were only like 15/20 minutes out of the city!) Then……. LUNCH TIME, yay! My best part of the day… we got to eat with our hands and everything! Some yummy meat, pap, beans and tomatoes were served and everyone pretty much dived in! Ahhhh! can you say *satisfaction*. Ok so I'm not a HUGE soccer fan, but watching the soccer at the local tavern at Hlabisa, was amazing! When Chiefs scored the first goal – wow! There were grown men lifting up other grown men and spinning them around, lots of dancing and singing – over ONE goal! Eish, so much of excitement!
But then *Sadness* – it was time to go back home! On the way back we stopped off at Sthembiso's (our guide) house, where we got to meet his mother, family (and half the community.) All the kids came out to say hi. Oh my goodness – my heart! These kids were the cutest. There was much excitement and hugging and shaking hands and laughing…too much! So after a long good-bye, we headed home. I must say it felt quite surreal coming back to the city. Did that just happen?? Really??
Thank you SOOO much to our fabulous guides: Richard Powel and Sthembiso Mbonambi of Street Scene Tours for an amazing, eye opening experience of our beautiful city! Visit Street Scene Tours for bookings and info (and how cool… you can customize your tours!)
To the fun and handsome boys of The La Els and City Bowl Mizers – that was fun! You guys are…ok I suppose…maybe next time you should bring MORE tequilla…and it could be even MORE fun…
To the beautiful Derryn – your photos are gorgeous! Visit CityLove to view all the fun we had!
And to my partner in crime TwoSlice – it was an awesome experience, thank you!
Go on… Love this city!
Much love and happiness

How many of you daydream of the day that your kids will tell you they are craving broccoli over ice cream, or yearn for the day when your youngsters will voluntarily choose schoolwork over their toys? How many of you fantasize about getting your kids to do things that are good for them that they just don't want to do, without having to wrestle them to the ground or threaten their TV privileges?
Well, this dream came true for the tutors at the Gulbis Boys & Girls Club when one little girl wrote Andson a letter in which she said, "Tutoring was so fun. I'd rather be in tutoring all day than go to Wet and Wild."
That's what we love to hear here at Andson, that through our hard work, devotion and perseverance with these kids we are making a lasting impact in their lives! We love it when they love their tutoring sessions!
Oh yeah, the student also mentioned, "I loved the treats you gave us at tutoring that one day."
…nothing wrong with a little incentive!

So simple, such an awesome idea, couldn't believe it, and SUPER Yummy!
My Labor Day dessert was a total success!
Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Ice Cream Cake
Bake your brownies in the bottom of a spring form pan.
Stir a half gallon of chocolate ice cream by hand until softened.
Spread softened ice cream in the pan over to of the brownies.
Sprinkle with Oreo crumbs.
If I had hot fudge I would have used it at this point too, but we were out.
Spread a container of cool whip on top of that.
Mix up this (small size) recipe for no egg, edible cookie dough, it only makes a small amount. Perfect for this recipe, or if you just need to satisfy your cookie dough craving without making a whole batch.
3 tbsp Flour, 2 tbsp Sugar (white or brown), 1 1/2 tbsp Butter, splash of vanilla extract, add 1T of milk if mixture is too dry. Add as many chocolate chips as you want.
Then break the dough into pieces and spread over top of the cool whip.
Place in the freezer to freeze solid.
Take out of the freezer remove outside ring of spring form pan and let soften for 10 minutes before cutting to serve.
I am not going to be buying expensive DQ cakes anymore. This was so easy to make.
Topping ideas are unlimited,
I love frozen snickers!
My husband loves reecees.
and the boys would be nuts about m&m's
Chocolate Chip Cookie dough, that is my daughter's favorite.

The stunning weather has continued in North Wales this weekend, and I was lucky to be working for Ibex Guides, a company run by friends of mine, IFMGA guides Rocio and Owen. The basis was for six guys to be prepared for a guided ascent of Mont Blanc in a few months time. So we aimed to cover the basics of ropework, and a large amount of ground, moving quickly and in good coordination with one another on the rope.
It was great to be working with somebody else in this terrain to share ideas and experiences. A new route on Tryfan for me which is very rare these days.
Day 1: we both headed to East Face Tryfan, to do Pinnacle Scramble (3+), which follows a fairly hard purely rock route up the central buttress, finishing on the Summit.
We chose to descend down the North Ridge (1). Where we practiced some roped lowers and stacked abseils.
Day 2: I think Rocio headed up the Seniors Direct Route, then Cneifion Arete. While my team went up Idwal Buttress (2) and the Continuation Route (2), then I let them practice their lowers, short-roping and descent down the Idwal slabs exit gully.

These chambers, or hearts, are an exploration of human emotions, ranging from a tsunami of feelings to quiet stillness. I seek to capture the joys and sorrows - pensive and wistful, raging and veiled - behind human experience. They symbolize both the interdependence of our experiences, as well as the unique and ultimately solitary journeys we take. These hearts are an attempt to articulate the fleeting, private and fragile emotions that we experience because of, and in spite of, our human connections.

Have you ever experienced an uncontrollable twitching in your eyelid? It seems to just happen out of nowhere and can be very annoying and concerning, but it may be your worries that could be causing it to happen.
Eye twitching affects many people at different times in their lives, but it's probably not as serious as you think.
Although, if you have very frequent eye twitches, there may be an underlying health condition you may want to visit your doctor to have checked out.
But, occasional eye twitches are usually coming from stress and your need for a little rest and relaxation.

Finding our north, we fly
over the tops of mountains.
White petalled stonecrop, the stars
beneath our wings.
Wild roar of the waterfalls
echoes in our ears,
We are bathed in rainbows
and quenched by the rising mist.
Center of the solar system
we soar atop our kingdom,
Time unfolds in the wingspan
of ancient memory.
Gliding over a thousand years
of storm-washed stone,
we hover on the edge of day,
not yet awake enough to know
the direction is ours to choose.

Catch 22 is a UK charity that believes in helping young people to 'get on in life' by providing them with support and help if they find themselves in difficult situations. A report commissioned by the charity, compiled by nef (the new economics foundation), found that if services for young people aged between 16 -25 were improved, it could save the tax-payer in the long run.
The report states that over 200,000 young people in the UK find themselves in troubled circumstances during this life stage, which can often lead to personal, emotional and physical problems in later life. The estimated cost of youth unemployment is £8.1 billion per year, and crime costs a further £1 billion per year. The report found that for every £1 invested in young people's services, the economy would see a return of £5.65.
Catch 22 is campaigning for more integrated services for young people as part of their Ready or Not Campaign, which found that at the ages of 16, 17 and 18 in particular, young people who do not have family support are at risk of falling into difficulties.

Do you like to be creeped out?
Back in the 1930's and 40's radio drama was at a High point. Amazing mini plays were performed to millions via radio. One particular series was called. LIGHTS OUT a bizarre and intensely creepy series of dramas. I'm animating one episode called THE DARK. It's a very eerie story. Here is my latest build of the animation with audio, it's still very rough and not completed. I hope to have it done by next week. I'm going to post it on kickstarter and petition for funds for other episodes. Let me know what you think.

U.K., France Seeking More Time For Decision On Syria Strikes
While there had been some indications earlier this week that a strike on Syria could happen before the Labor Day Weekend, two of America's closes allies are seeking to slow the decision making process down:
LONDON — U.S. efforts to forge an international coalition to support a military strike on Syria faced fresh uncertainty Thursday, as British Prime Minister David Cameron confronted a political fight in Parliament over military action and France called for a delay until U.N. inspectors finish their work on the ground.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Cameron pledged that Britain would take no action until the United Nations had reviewed a report from weapons inspectors, who are in Syria examining the sites of an alleged chemical attack last week that left hundreds dead.
"It would be unthinkable to proceed if there was overwhelming opposition in the [U.N.] Security Council," Cameron told Parliament.
At the same time, the prime minister offered an impassioned argument for authorizing military action. He said evidence clearly indicates that the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the deadly attack and declared that the West has an obligation to deter a possible repeat of "one of the most abhorrent uses of chemical weapons in a century."
French officials also are calling for a delay in action until U.N. inspectors conclude their report. "Before acting, we need proof," said Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, a minister and government spokeswoman, according to Bloomberg News.
The latest developments suggest that Washington's allies will insist on waiting at least until next week before launching what initially appeared to be an imminent strike on Syria.
Will the United States wait along with them? Unless we want this attack to appear as nothing but a unilateral attack on the Syrians by the United States, one suspects that we would. Among other things, this means that its likely that Syria will be a topic of discussion at the upcoming G-20 Summit in St. Petersburg, the second largest city of a nation that has taken on the role of protector of the Assad regime to some respect. It also seems highly unlikely that President Obama would launch an attack while the summit is going on or, indeed, before it occurs at this point given that the intelligence is far from certain.
So, to some degree, the drumbeat of war, or whatever this is, will slow down just a bit over the next few days. Whether that means that this makes any kind of a strike less likely is another question.
