Q: How to find the names of the panels in a beamer color theme and change their colors? The Beamer manual (17.2.3 Setting Beamer's Colors) shows how to set colors of specific parts of the color theme using \setbeamercolor. However, since many different color themes have different named parts, how can one find out the name of the part (panel for example) in order to change its color?
For example:
\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames]{beamer}

\title[XYZ]{Xblah Yblah Zblah}
\author{Prof Smarty Pantsson}

\date{End.Of.TheWorld,\\Base, Moon}

\usetheme{PaloAlto}
\usecolortheme{seahorse}
\useinnertheme{rectangles}

\definecolor{logoBlue}{HTML}{003278}
\definecolor{blueDark}{HTML}{a3b6d4}
\definecolor{blueLight}{HTML}{e7eef8}
\definecolor{grey}{HTML}{b1b5b8}

\setbeamercolor*{palette tertiary}{bg=blueDark}
\setbeamercolor{frametitle}{fg=black,bg=blueLight}
\setbeamercolor{normal text}{fg=black,bg=white}

\usefonttheme{serif}

\begin{document}

\frame{\titlepage}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Frame title}

  \begin{itemize}
    \item Text Text Text Text Text Text
    \item Text Text Text Text Text Text
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

this changes the title panel of the seahorse color theme:

However, I can't find the names of the other panels (side panel and the square in the upper left corner) in the Beamer manual.
What are the names of the other panels in the seahorse color theme?
How can I find the similar names in any beamer color theme?

A: Try & error
If one has no clue what the name of a specific colour is, there are some likely colours which are worth a try. You found the first one yourself, the  palette tertiary. Besides this colour also try palette secondary and palette primary. These three colours define most elements of a colour theme.
Finding likely names
But for some things one just has to give the correct name, e.g. for the sidebar. To find out possible names to try until one finds the correct name, I recommend http://www.cpt.univ-mrs.fr/~masson/latex/Beamer-appearance-cheat-sheet.pdf which nicely summarises the most important names.
Never forget
To also change the colour structure. Basically all colours of the theme are based on various shades of this colour. If you change this one as well, you are save to not having forget any colour to change. (You blueDark seems not dark enough to use it for elements like bullet points, so I mixed a bit black into it)
\documentclass[xcolor=dvipsnames]{beamer}

Presidential Election Process
WOW, I can't believe it's been three years since I've been elected. I am proud to be the President of USA Cycling 2019 Club of the Year Division III, LWA.
Time flies, right? Since the day I accepted the challenge, life has changed. We've seen changes in rides and life due to COVID-19 and changes in our membership. Yes, we've gained members, and lost members over the years. Our membership continues to be a major challenge, with 1,860 Meetup Members, yet actual LWA Club membership hoovers around 360. This tells me we have potential to grow our membership. I've got ideas, but I have no time left as President. That's right, my time has come, three years and done.
Along the way, I've worked with some terrific LWA Volunteers, our Past President & Treasurer, Dave Sheffield, Past VP of Touring, Jim Fullerton and current VP of Touring, Kathy Crampton; Past VP of Racing, Glenn Davis; Secretary, Christine Penn and past Secretary Kathy Crampton; Directors, Bert Mukkulainen, Rich Ferrera, Bruce Kantor, Dick McCreight and past director, Carl Zvanut; Membership, Richard Baldock and Rob Smith, Webmaster, Dave Drummer; and past Newsletter Editor Jean Black. Hats off to all Ride Leaders for leading the rides over the past three years and to all of the Club Members, for just being you, showing up for rides, volunteering and joing in on the Grill N Chills. Yes, life has changed!
This brings me to "Presidental Election Time", not only for US President but for LWA Club Membership. First, I'd like to announce the Nomination Committee: Jack Helffrich (jackhelffrich@hotmail.com), Mike Solliday(msolliday@gmail.com) and Kathie Zapotocki (retocki@ptd.net) and myself, Roberta Kates (heybert@ptd.net).
The LWA By Laws:
Section 3. The Officers of the Club, who shall be elected annually for one-year terms, shall be the following: The President; the VP of Touring; the VP of Racing; the Secretary; the Treasurer. The President shall be limited to three consecutive terms, but shall continue to serve as an ex officio member of the Board of Directors (as Past President) for one year following the end of his last year as the President. The Editor of the Club Newletter, the Website Manager and the Membership Administrator, designed by the President, shall be ex officio members of the Board of Directors.
Section 4. The Officers and Directors shall be elected at the last meeting of the year. A nomination committee may be established prior to the election to propose candidates and secure their consent to serve. At the time of the election, the floor will be open for additional nominations. If only one candidate is nominated for an office, the nominee maybe considered to be elected by acclamation. If there is more than one cancdiate for an office, the election must be conducted by secret ballot.
Nominations are now open for the following positions:
1 Year Term positions: President, VP of Touring, VP of Racing, Secretary, Treasurer
2 Year Term positions: (2) Board of Directors
If you are interested or you'd like to nominate a fellow member who is willing to run, please email a Nominating Committee member with the nominee's name and the position. At the October 28th meeting, the Nomination Committee will propose candidates and will follow up to secure their consent to serve. At time of the election, in December, the floor will be open for additional nominations by write-in vote. Please note: Due to COVID-19 our Holiday Party has been cancelled, therefore Elections will be held by Electronic vote this year (details will be announced shortly).
Life has certainly changed in the past three years. Thank you LWA, I am proud to be your LWA President.
See you on the roads,
Roberta Kates, LWA Presdent

Sir Rob Margetts CBE FREng
Enthusiastic teamwork
Download the article (220 KB)
Sir Rob Margetts and team in Chandigar, India, at the opening of an ICI factory in 1996
As someone who has spent nearly 40 years in the profession, Sir Rob Margetts thinks that many people have the wrong idea about engineering. For him it is as much about a way of thinking as it is about making things. Michael Kenward OBE spoke to him about his experiences and current passions.
Sir Rob Margetts thinks that there could be a case for pensioning off the word 'engineering'. It is not that he regrets his 40 years or so in the profession. He has enjoyed it greatly and happily calls himself an engineer. It is just that, for Sir Rob, the 'ing' part of the word carries excess baggage.
For too many people engineering means making things – big projects with lots of hardware or production lines turning out cars, computers, chemicals and other items. Seen in this way, engineering in the UK looks to be in decline. Much mass production has moved to cheaper locations that are also increasingly the places where the consumers of all manufactured output reside.
As Sir Rob sees it, manufacturing may have moved but engineering in the UK is far from declining. Indeed, the country has made incredible use of its engineers. It is just that many of them now work in different domains.
The UK's gain
Sir Rob disagrees strongly with the suggestion that lingers in some nooks and crannies of the academic world that engineers are 'lost' to the profession when they move into, say, insurance or banking. "I don't view it as a loss. I think it is a gain." After all, the UK is a centre of the world's financial system. "Our economy has moved in that direction."
Margetts uses the term 'virtual engineering' to illustrate his point. "Building models, understanding how systems work and assessing risk are all components of an engineering education that can be carried over to anything." That 'anything' could be an insurance product or managing complex financial systems. "The skills required to run a hedge-fund for example are some of the most mathematical that there are and can use this virtual engineering."
An important point for Margetts is that engineering "is an education, not a training. You have to get the concepts embedded in people. We should recast engineering as the skills that people have."
Like many sixth formers back in the 1960s – and probably too many even now – engineering was unknown territory to the young Margetts. No one at school knew enough about engineering to encourage him to consider it as a career. So, when it came to deciding what to study at university, science was the first choice for a technically minded youngster.
Margetts opted to study chemistry at Cambridge. Well, it started off that way, but after two years he was, as he puts it, "starting to lose a bit of interest in the chemistry". He then became one of a core of young 'dissidents' who have, over the years, taken advantage of the flexible nature of Cambridge's natural sciences degree and moved mid-stream out of science and into engineering. His second year had included fluid mechanics, which gave Margetts a taste for the engineering side. After a crash course during the long vacation to catch up, he switched to chemical engineering for his final degree.
Back then, anyone with ambition graduating with a degree in chemical engineering either went into oil and petrochemicals, or took a job as a process design engineer with Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). In those days the company was involved in just about everything chemical, from fertilisers to pharmaceuticals to plastics. It produced huge amounts of bulk chemicals that sold at very low prices along with small quantities of speciality chemicals that sold at high prices.
As Margetts rose through the ranks at ICI he held a series of engineering roles that covered many of the company's core activities. One claim to fame was to have run an important power station that kept the site going at a time when industrial action was turning out the lights all over the UK. After directing various bits of the business, in 1988 Margetts became Director of Engineering for the ICI Group. In 1992 he became one of the company's youngest board members.
While not denying the facts, there is a good chance that Margetts would disagree violently with this distilled interpretation of his ICI career. Too much about the individual: not enough about the teams that actually did all that work. Margetts insists, "teamwork is essential. I have been very pleased to have been a part of some very great teams. Good teams are the secret to great enterprises."
Developing teams
Margetts illustrates the point by talking about his time at Legal & General. He was still with ICI when he joined them in 1996 as a Non-Executive Director. He left ICI in 2000 when, after the death of Legal & General's then chairman, the company's board asked him to take over.
Legal & General has come a long way since, thanks mostly, Sir Rob insists, to teamwork. "The team, with great continuity of management, has just stuck to trying to do things a little bit better each year. They are now one of the leading life assurers and fund managers in the UK, from small beginnings."
Teams come up again when Margetts goes on to enthuse about another venture he chairs, and one that could not be further from Legal & General. There is nothing virtual about Ensus which is firmly on the heavy side of engineering. Its goal is no less than to help to wean the planet off oil for its mobility. Ensus is playing its part in what Margetts describes as the "super range of opportunities involved in the paradigm shift in engineering and climate change".
Investing in biofuels
Ensus is building a sizeable new biochemical plant, with team members that worked with each other at ICI. The company wants to become "a leading provider of bioethanol to the European transport fuels market". The new facility will turn wheat into bioethanol and animal feed.
Margetts becomes distinctly enthusiastic when talking about Ensus, as well he might, having risked some of his wife's housekeeping in the venture. "It is the closest thing I have done to being a proper entrepreneur," he says laughing. Not only does Ensus draw on his time as a process engineer at ICI, it can also tap into the lessons he learned when he was in ICI's agricultural and biological businesses.
At first glance, Ensus seems to confirm all the fears about biofuels. It may not be responsible for ripping up tropical rainforests, but isn't there something uncomfortable about turning wheat into ethanol? Shouldn't wheat go into the food chain?
Wheat is very efficient at turning sunlight into protein, he explains. However wheat alone is not high enough in protein to be used as the animal feed that accounts for about half of the wheat grown in Europe. Farmers add imported soy bean to increase the protein levels.
Proving sustainable credentials
Ensus processes wheat, creating not just bioethanol to fuel cars but a protein-rich byproduct – they prefer the word 'co-product' to describe the 'Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles' that also comes out of the plant. This co-product can then feed cattle and in this way processed wheat can reduce imports of both soya and oil.
Is it really economically and environmentally sustainable to turn wheat into biofuels? Margetts would not expect anyone to take his word for it on the environment front. Like other biofuels businesses, Ensus has commissioned an independent study of its sustainability.
The Ensus facility is "quite a brave venture," says Margetts. Going to such a scale from a standing start, he adds, was no mean feat. When finished early next year, the plant will take in 1.2 million tonnes of wheat each year, producing 400 million litres of bioalcohol, enough to meet about a third of the UK's anticipated current demand.
That first plant is just the beginning, says Margetts. They even call it Ensus One.
Ensus is not Margetts's only foray into renewable energy. He is also a Non-Executive Director of another young company, Falck Renewables, which is "creating a portfolio of wind energy projects across Europe". In addition, his interest in sustainable energy goes beyond the corporate boardroom – he also chairs the Energy Technologies Institute, which formally opened for business last December. This coming together of government and the corporate world hopes to put the UK "at the cutting edge of science and engineering" as Gordon Brown, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, put it in his budget statement in 2006.
Margetts may be keen to reverse some of the decline in 'big plant' technology through such ventures as Ensus, but this does not mean that he expects anyone to reverse the tide of decline in "big engineering" in the UK.
For example, he says, "I have worked quite hard trying to get people (and especially Government), to recognise that we need to change the definition of R&D. You have to try to create favourable environments for people to commit money today on innovation that will create enterprise tomorrow. R&D, conventionally defined, is very limiting. There is a whole spread of other innovatory work, particularly in the service sector."
For evidence of poor definitions, look no further than the annual 'R&D Scoreboard' of corporate research spending in the UK. On first look this appears a disaster area, with falling spending. However that is only because of the decline in the UK's manufacturing industry. Until recently, the numbers in the scoreboard did not reflect what goes into innovation elsewhere. "We are actually gaining a wide breadth of creative and innovative service industries. It looks very different if you don't use the words R&D and instead you use the words development and innovation, or a broader definition of technology."
For Margetts, R&D is about "advancing fundamental knowledge to create enterprise". This is something that can go on just as much in service companies or in the finance sector as in things that we traditionally think of as engineering. Engineers can play just as important a role in these areas, by bringing their way of thinking to their challenges.
All this adds up to great opportunities for engineers. "The opportunities may be physical, like Ensus, or they may be virtual, in terms of designing new ways of tackling issues. This is a 'Big System' problem. You can't nibble at one bit of it, to create biofuels, without thinking about the impact on food and land."
Indeed, the same message seems to apply to just about anything that needs sorting out, not least the fate of the planet. Now that is one particular challenge that really does need teamwork.
Education Rob Margetts was born in London in 1946 and educated at Highgate School and the University of Cambridge, where he obtained a degree in Chemical Engineering.
1969 Rob Margetts joined ICI as a Process Design Engineer in the Agricultural Division at Billingham. 1982 Becomes Director of the Agricultural Division. 1985 Made Director of the Petrochemicals & Plastics Division. 1988 Elected Fellow of The Royal Academy of Engineering. 1988 Appointed Director of Engineering for the ICI Group. 1992 Joins the ICI Main Board. 1998-2000 Vice Chairman of ICI. 1996 Appointed CBE. 1996 Appointed a Non-Executive Director of the Legal & General Group plc and becomes Chairman in 2000. 1999 joins the Anglo American PLC Board as a Non-Executive Director and becomes Senior Independent Non-Executive Director in 2003. 2001 Appointed Deputy Chairman of The BOC Group and becomes Chairman in 2002 until 2006. 2004 Made Freeman of the City of London. 2006 Awarded a Knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours. 2006 Becomes Chairman of Ensus Limited. 2007 Appointed Chair of the Energy Technologies Institute.

Iran Lures Poor Afghan Recruits to Syria with Money and Visas
October 2017 Terrorism
Fleeing grinding poverty and unemployment, thousands of Afghan Shi'ites have been recruited by Iran to defend Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, former fighters and rights activists say as quoted by Strait Times.
Afghan men and boys as young as 14 are signing up to fight on the promise of money and legal residency in Shi'ite-dominated Iran, Assad's regional ally, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).
"For me it was just about money. Whoever I saw was going for money and to have free entry to Iran. I never saw anyone fighting for religious reasons," said Shams, a 25-year-old former fighter, who now lives in the Afghan capital Kabul.
Shams is a member of the Hazara ethnic group, went to Syria twice in 2016 to fight in a conflict that has been raging for more than six years.
The withdrawal of U.S.-led NATO combat troops at the end of 2014 drained the Afghan economy and left many people out of work, fuelling the flow of migrants into Iran in search of a better life. Since 2013 the Afghans, including undocumented migrants living in Iran, have joined the Teheran-backed Fatemiyoun division fighters in Syria, said HRW and ex-members who spoke to AFP on condition their real names were not used. HRW estimated last year that Iran hosts around three million Afghans.
In this desperate pool Iranian recruiters targeted Shi'ites to swell the ranks of Fatemiyoun soldiers, who HRW says fight alongside Syrian government forces.
"My idea was to find a job in Iran. I had no plan to go to fight in Syria but after a month of being jobless I decided to go. They were encouraging us saying 'you will be a freedom fighter and if you return to Iran alive you can stay with a 10-year residence permit'. But my main goal was to earn money," Shams said.
Afghan Shi'ites are given 1.5 million rial (S$59.40) to register at a recruitment centre for the Fatemiyoun. Once they have signed up they receive three million rial a month, a fortune for many poor Afghans.
Shams' first mission was in June 2016 in the Syrian capital of Damascus, where he was assigned to protect a barracks for two months.In September he was deployed to Aleppo, where he was given his first AK-47 after receiving rudimentary weapons training from Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
On the front line of the battle between ISIS militants and the Al-Nusra Front group, Shams said he found himself caught up in an intense and deadly battle.
"In Aleppo we faced an ambush – out of 100 fighters we lost almost all of them. There were 15 of us left alive. The bodies were sent back to Iran and the families in Afghanistan held funeral ceremonies in mosques without a coffin or grave," Shams said.
Shams returned to Afghanistan after pleas from his family and he now hopes to buy a shop. He has no intention of going back.
"I would never advise anyone to go there if he has a job here," he said.
Ali Alfoneh, a senior fellow at the Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council, estimates more than 760 Afghans have been killed in Syria since September 2013. HRW says the Iranians refuse to provide accurate figures, but estimates show there are nearly 15,000 Afghans fighting for Fatemiyoun.
"They are used by the Iranian government, which treats them like slaves. The sorrow, pain and hunger of the people is not a major concern of the Afghan government," said Ramazan Bashardost, a Hazara member of parliament in Kabul.
Afghanistan's foreign ministry called on Iran in October to stop sending young Afghans to Syria after the HRW report condemning the recruitment of minors. But preventing Afghans from volunteering will not be easy. Money and the prospect of a guaranteed residency for your family in Iran are major draw cards.

Infinity storage media, the Japanese famous disc manufacturer has just announced the plan to commercialize the world's first hybrid Blu-ray and DVD available for public. The new technology, which embeds both Blu-ray and DVD compatible contents on the same disc is believed to be able to smoothen the migration process from DVD to most desired full HD (High Definition) Blu-ray standard especially for those users that still stick with existing DVD standard.
The benefit is obvious, now users will be able to run the same copy of DVD disc in both conventional DVD players and Blu-ray players without worrying about the old favorite movies compatibility with new Blu-ray machines. The mechanism behind is it is based on the different laser wavelength that can penetrate into different layers (isolated by semi-reflective film) embedded in the disc to read DVD and Blu-ray media contents respectively. For instance, it reflects blue light on upper layer for Blu-ray contents readings while able to pass through red light to the DVD layer underneath.
Before its official release, the manufacturer has tested and confirmed that its new combo DVD is compatible with 64 different DVD and Blu-ray players and so far the results are quite promising with almost 99 percent of them passed the tests. Don't expect it to be cheap since it is the first hybrid release, one set of movie with four hybrid discs is estimated to cost around 36540 yen ($406). The first release will be commercialized in February 2009.


Sling 10 Release Notes - Apache Sling - Apache Software Foundation for your Wiki!
The Sling 10 release is focused on adding improved support for newer Java versions, but we managed to sneak in a couple of improvements as well. Please see the full details below.
Sling now fully supports Java 9, with the integration tests running on Java 8 and Java 9 side-by-side. Java 10 has received the same attention in terms of testing, but since it is not officially released we can not declare it as fully supported.
To better reflect its role, the old Sling launchpad has been renamed to the Sling starter. The name reflects that it's been used to quickly start working with Sling and also that it's aimed to start your appetite of working with Sling.
The Maven coordinates have changed from org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.launchpad to org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.starter .
In order to keep the Slingstart artifact size under control, we no longer embed the tika-bundle uber-artifact. Instead, we include tika-parsers and explicitly support parsing of PDF documents via PDFBox. Consumers that desire to parse other document types can include other dependencies as OSGi bundle as needed.
Discovering parsers that do not work can be done by starting Sling with the additional -Dorg.apache.tika.service.error.warn=true argument. See also Troubleshooting Tika .
The default Slingstart now is 32% smaller, dropping from 98MB to 67MB.
Sling is now able to directly redirect clients to secure URLs of DataStore binaries when the underlying repository allows it. This feature is intended to allow quick serving of content from remote services such as S3 without having to stream the binaries from Sling.
For more details see OAK-6575 - Getting issue details... STATUS , SLING-7140 - Getting issue details... STATUS and Ian Boston's quick configuration notes.
When an exception is logged, the Bundle-SymbolicName and the version of the bundle containing each stack trace element are shown. The intent is to simplify debugging and support when logs are available but bundle versions are not known.
See the logging documentation page for more details.
We use the latest stable Oak version from the 1.6 stream, bringing in over 140 fixes and improvements. See the full list of resolved issues for more details.
Working with service users is now made simpler by a new Web Console addition which allows inspecting and managing Service Users.
This console page is available as a standalone artifact at the org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.serviceuser.webconsole Maven coordinates.
Service users may now be declared as having a list of principal names which exhaustively map the privileges they contain. This style of declaration is preferred since it reduces redundancy and adds clarity to the privileges used by a certain service user. Pre-authentication can also lead to performance improvements.
See the Oak documentation on pre-authentication for more details.
See the Repository Initialization documentation for more details.
The bundle resource provider now allows adding JSON files which hold properties for various nodes.
The feature can be enabled by adding a directive to the header entry: propsJSON:=EXTENSION, e.g. propsJSON=json. All files having the configured extension will be treat as JSON files containing properties for the resources.

U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-El Paso, maintained Saturday night that he did not flee the scene of a 1998 drinking and driving incident, a contradiction of a police report filed at the time.
"I did not flee," he told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith at the closing keynote of the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. "The police report on this count is wrong."
O'Rourke added: "I reached out to the passenger who was in the car that I was driving — who also does not appear in the police report, among other factual errors — somebody that I've not spoken to in more than 15 years, and asked her recollection of that evening. She said, 'No, we were in the median of the road. We did not try to flee. I don't know that there was anywhere we could have gone.'"
During the wide-ranging conversation, O'Rourke, who is running to unseat Republican U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, also reiterated his commitment to not seek higher office should he be elected to the Senate. He said that while he has been on the campaign trail, most of the responsibility for raising his three children has fallen to his wife, Amy O'Rourke, and that "our kids need us to be a family." He also said he would limit himself to a maximum of two terms.
O'Rourke accused Cruz — whom he repeatedly refused to address by name, instead referring to him as "the junior senator from Texas" — of running a "cynical" campaign rooted in fear.
After repeatedly making headlines for eclipsing the incumbent in money raised for his campaign, O'Rourke declined to give a firm answer on his fundraising total in the third quarter of this year, which ends Sunday.
"I honestly don't know, but it's a lot," he said.
O'Rourke ended the night by appearing before a massive crowd at Auditorium Shores, an Austin concert venue, where country music legend Willie Nelson headlined a show for the candidate.
"Let tonight be a message to the future," O'Rourke said. "Let them know who we are, what we believe in and what we are willing to do to accomplish our goals. Let them know that we believe in this country, let them know that we believe we can come together and do great things for this country, And let them know that we believe that Texas can lead the way."
O'Rourke went to tell supporters they've "never been so close, but it's on all of us." He encouraged them to get registered to vote by the Oct. 9 deadline — there were 250 voter registrars at the event — and be prepared to cast an early ballot when the period begins Oct. 22.

#MAGA = MUELLER AIN'T GOING AWAY!
El Paso Police Department are known to contradict some of the, on scene statement reports! they do lie too as they make false reports.If Donald Trump can lie all the time and get away with it, then go figure! this has been going on for a long time till the invention of the camera phone came along.
Ted Cruz has always been a snobby spoiled type of BRAT BOY! whom ventured his way to the state of Texas from Canada! He didn't renounce his Canadian citizenship till he ran for the 2016 presidential election race,but was already in the senate in 2013.How did he get there so fast? I missed that one! I wasn't following politics closely.
And as for congressman, Beto O'Rourke, his petty drinking DUI crime from eons ago was a wake up call,he knew it, and he did something about it. He reformed himself into a better human being and a person and learned from his mistake,and has not repeated it ever since. But instead has giving back to his community,to his state and to his country and should be forgiven and respected for that. He has served his constituents honorably without any blemishes, so I then ask! What has Ted Cruz done for Texas or the United States?
From 2012 when he first ran for the US senate, he never made NOT ONE VISIT TO EL PASO!
NOT ONE!!! That was until he found out the congressman Beto O'Rourke was running to unseat him from the US senate. Not until then, he started to visit El Paso like a DEADLY Plague! he was probably responsible for bringing those rare black biting flies to the El Paso Zoo this past summer.WE! never even heard about them here in El Paso till Ted Cruz started to visit our city.SUSPICION…SUSPICION!
Ted Cruz is all about distorting away facts from the truth with his campaign smear tactics! and IT'S NOT WORKING! Bigi big difference between the two candidates is that Beto is from the state of Texas. Congressmen Beto O'Rourke is a HOMOGENIZED TEXAN! and A HOMEBOY! from El Paso.
Just another lie coming from Ted Cruz, when he accused Beto O'Rourke of changing his name to Beto in order to appease the Mexican American Dominated community of El Paso.Beto's mom posted a photograph of Beto wearing a shirt or sweater with the word printed Beto on it when he was only six years old.
Just last year many Texans didn't even know or had ever heard of congressman Beto O'Rourke! and during the primaries Ted Cruz received over 1.5 million votes to O'Rourke 1 million.
Gradually congressman Beto O'Rourke had not yet made his historic state visit all of the 254 Texas counties. For most he was already written off before he even started, but the Quality of Beto's success is that's he's honest and runs on a positive smooth campaign.
While Ted Cruz's campaign goes on the smearing lying negative attacks! People in Texas deserve better than that! THAT'S GOTTEN OLD!!! Same ol same ol by the right wing fanatic conservative NUTJOB Deplorables. And NOW IT'S A TOSS UP RACE! the momentum is there,Beto is picking up endorsements and is not accepting donation money bribes monies from crooked special interest super PACS! Unlike Ted Cruz that does take every dollar from these despicable crony lobbyist.
I'm not Beto O'Rourke,so I can go ballistic on any republican rebuttal that comes from the basket of deplorables.CRAZY LIKE MIKEY!!! and some other less than a Neanderthal mind of thinking Donald trumpTURD worshiper thinking that Trump is GOD!
OMG! in just 36 more days we can take care of this mess, and rest assure,that America has always been a GREAT COUNTRY!!! till the arrival of Donald Trump to the White House!
We can't fix that too…either in 2019 or in 2020,the sooner we get rid of him and his baggish! the better!! then we can start repairing what Donald Trump was trying or taken away from us including our dignity.
And RAMMING! a Partisan Supreme Court Justice down our throats. A bad bad taste that would last for 40 years or more of pure partisan from the United States Supreme Court!
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! unless……you don't go out and vote in 36 days days from now.
Your psychotic rants are the best advertisement Cruz could ever get.
Robert Francis O'Rourke is:
1. Anti-Second Amendment
2. Anti law enforcement
3. Anti-ICE
4. For open borders.
5. For illegal aliens over Texans
6. For higher taxes
7. He is little more that a socialist in disguise.

Illegal L.A. marijuana dispensaries lose exemption loophole
By John Hoeffel
June 20, 2009 12 AM PT
Seeking to halt the spread of medical marijuana dispensaries, the Los Angeles City Council on Friday sealed a legal loophole that had allowed hundreds to operate in open violation of the city's moratorium.
The council now faces the daunting task of trying to shut down these dispensaries.
By Friday, 665 had applied to the City Council for exemptions from the moratorium. Most opened without permission. As the first step to closing them, the council must act on each request.
"I feel like the guy with the finger on the dam. It's all cracking," said Councilman Ed Reyes, who heads the committee that must review each application. "I've got to stay focused and not panic."
The city adopted a temporary ban on new dispensaries in 2007 and continues to debate a permanent set of rules to control them.
The moratorium allowed existing dispensaries to remain open if they registered with the city, and 186 met the requirements.
But the moratorium failed to prevent more dispensaries from opening, prompting concern from residents in many neighborhoods that spurred the council into action.
Looking into the proliferation, council members were shocked to find that a provision in the moratorium was having the unintended effect of encouraging dispensaries to open.
Would-be dispensary operators were applying for hardship exemptions from the moratorium, knowing the city attorney's office had decided it could not win court cases against dispensaries with pending applications.
Until last week, the council had not acted on a single application.
The council's action Friday eliminated the exemption provision. The city will no longer accept applications.
"Your day is over for those who are doing this to make a quick profit," warned Councilman Jose Huizar, who pressed for the fix after constituents in Eagle Rock complained.
The city will now be able to take action against dispensaries when they open. If they refuse the city's order to close, the city attorney can seek civil fines of $2,500 a day. Owners could also face up to six months in jail.
The council, however, will have to hold hearings to close those dispensaries that filed applications for exemptions.
Reyes, who will oversee the process, predicted that he could deal with two or three cases in an hour, which could tie up the planning committee for hundreds of hours.
"That's why my colleagues are like, 'Oh, my God,' " he said.
On June 9, to demonstrate it would act forcefully against medical marijuana dispensaries, the council denied a dozen exemption applications. But in the eight workdays since, it has denied only one.
Reyes intends to wade through applications until the council adopts a medical marijuana ordinance. Once that happens, all the dispensaries in the city -- even those that asked for exemptions -- would have to comply.
The council is considering provisions that would keep dispensaries 1,000 feet from each other and from schools, libraries, parks and other places children congregate. That could force many dispensaries to close.
On Friday, the council also gave itself more time to write the ordinance, extending the moratorium until March 15. It was set to expire in September.
Reyes, however, promised: "It doesn't mean we're going to take that long."

Lancaster PA > Blog > Dinner and a Concert of The Highwaymen at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Dinner and a Concert of The Highwaymen at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre
Posted in Happenings on October 15, 2018 by Guest.
The 2018 concert series has been rockin' the stage at Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre! Join us for dinner and a concert of THE HIGHWAYMEN playing October 21 and 22, 2018. Concerts include a full hot buffet, salad bar and dessert buffet to enjoy before the show. A select number of show only seats are available.
Perhaps the greatest country music super group in history, THE HIGHWAYMEN traveled the world performing country music to millions of fans. This tribute to Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash will have audiences watching in amazement as each song, one hit after another is sung just as they were seeing the original band perform. This show is full of upbeat, honky-tonk hits like Ring of Fire, Dukes of Hazard and On the Road Again.
Michael Moore, as Willie Nelson, was born and raised in McKinney, Texas. His passion for Willies's music came at an early age. "I can remember hearing his music coming out of my grandmother's old AM radio." Nelson's voice and unusual style of phrasing are hard to match. Through many years of study and about a million "Whiskey Rivers" later, Moore's ability to capture the country music legend's voice and style are considered by many to be the best in the world. Michael is also an accomplished guitar player and performs all of the guitar parts played by Nelson in his shows. Michael has performed his Willie tribute show throughout the USA as a solo artist and also with several top tribute shows including Cavalcade of Stars, Mirror Image, Memories Theatre and Superstars Live in Concert, a BC Entertainment, Inc. production.
August Manley, as Waylon Jennings, is a Tacoma, Washington native. Manley spent his childhood in the rural outreaches near his Grandfather's farm in the Pacific Northwest. Being raised on country music in the mid -seventies laid the perfect foundation for what would later become the Nation's premier Waylon Jennings tribute. Since 2005, August Manley has been bringing the finest moments of country music back to Waylon's vast number of fans, as well as providing thousands of newcomers to Waylon's music the opportunity to see, feel and take in this special brand of country music in its purest form, LIVE. Currently based out of Phoenix, Arizona, August Manley continues to strive for his ultimate goal: keeping Waylon's music in front of live audiences around the world.
Entertaining people is all Philip Bauer, as Johnny Cash, has ever wanted to do! His dynamic stage presence, quality and impressive vocal range has been thrilling audiences for many years. Philip started his musical path in Minneapolis, Minnesota where he started thrilling audiences with his quality performances and competing in and winning many talent contests. In 1997, at Johnnie Highs Country Music Revue, Philip left the stage with a Standing Ovation as the warm up act for superstar Leann Rimes. A songwriter in his own right, Philip has had his own original music played on over 300 radio stations across Europe. In addition to performing with THE HIGHWAYMEN, Philip currently travels across the United States, Canada, and Mexico performing "The Legend of Johnny Cash Show" to sold out audiences in theatres, casinos, fairs and festivals.

Another (Reauthorization) Act to Follow
Photo: "Human Trafficking" by Leonard John Matthews from Flickr/Creative Commons
By Susan C. Méndez
There seems to be no end to the potential human collateral that can be caused by the United States Congress's inaction. Along with the delay in renewing the Violence Against Women Act, recent news coverage has focused on another delay in reauthorizing the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA). The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime defines human trafficking as "an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them." According to a news article by Mounira Al Hmoud in the Times Argus online, more than 2,500 alleged incidents of human trafficking were filed between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010 in the United States. About 82% of these reported incidents involved sex trafficking: more than 1,200 incidents involved adult sex trafficking and 1,000 incidents involved child sexual exploitation. And these are just the reported cases for this time period. Notably, human traffickers largely target women and children of color. As such, those who have rose up to speak on this issue are tied closely to this community. Recently Jada Pinkett Smith and her daughter Willow Smith made the news with their appearances in Washington, D.C. to talk to government officials about this issue. Reportedly, more than 2,500 alleged incidents of human trafficking were filed between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2010 in the United States. About 82% of these reported incidents involved sex trafficking: more than 1,200 incidents involved adult sex trafficking and 1,000 incidents involved child sexual exploitation. And these are just the reported cases for this time period. Pinkett Smith founded an anti-trafficking group named "Don't Sell Bodies" and sang a song in Spanish entitled "Nada," whose video highlights the story of a young woman being trafficked by a love-interest and is directed by Salma Hayek. It is no coincidence that these key actions which stress the issue of human trafficking have come from members of the larger women of color community; such actions and participants are good indicators as to who should be paying attention to human trafficking. Pinkett Smith and her daughter's most recent actions include participating in the Senate Caucus to End Human Trafficking. Their advocacy on this issue has brought much needed attention back to the fate of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000 (TVPA).
This act, also known as the largest piece of human rights legislation in the United States, was the first federal law to address comprehensively trafficking as a crime on both the international and domestic fronts. According to Polaris Project (a non-profit, non-governmental organization that fights modern day slavery and human trafficking), the TVPA is composed of three aspects: "prevention through public awareness programs overseas and a State-department led monitoring and sanctions program; protection through new T-visa and services for foreign national victims; and prosecution through new federal crimes." This legislation was significant because it created an Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking, whose task it is to rank other countries based on their efforts to halt human trafficking (and the President of the United States may choose to impose sanctions on countries that do not meet the minimum standards to end trafficking); established the temporary legal status of "continued presence" and the new T visa which allows survivors of human trafficking to stay in the United States temporarily and to apply for permanent residency after 3 years; and made trafficking a federal crime along with the new crime of forced labor (individual and corporate employers are the ones liable to be charged with these crimes). The TVPA of 2000 (P.L. 106-386) was an astounding act of humanity and compassion; it was reauthorized in 2003 (H.R. 2620), in 2005 (H.R. 972), and in 2008 (H.R. 7311) easily. Its renewal is purposefully scheduled every two to three years in order to address that fact that traffickers change their modes of operation periodically. Each time this act was reauthorized, improvements were made that enhanced the original bill's approach to end human trafficking.
Although various academics, journalists and activists may have differing perspectives on the impact of human trafficking and the methods and language used to convey assistance to those who are trafficked, the impetus behind this act appears to be extending offers of help to those who find themselves to be survivors of exploitative practices. Consequently, the need for this act still is apparent and the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2011 (S.1301) began its renewal process on June 29, 2011 when the act was introduced and referred to its committee led by Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Initially, this Reauthorization Act had 42 Senatorial co-sponsors (it now has 52). According to Leahy aides, when this committee turned to the House of Representatives, there was a need to strike a deal and that need has delayed renewal. The Act expired on September 30, 2011. Mounira Al Hmoud reported for the Times Argus online that for the past fifteen months, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2011 has been referred to five different committees of the House, has undergone significant revision, and has Rep. Christopher Smith (R-NJ) as its sponsor. An editorial piece in The New York Times, dated March 21, 2012, explains how these revisions have not always been beneficial. For example, one revised aspect is the moving of financing for survivors' services from the Department of Health and Human Services to the Department of Justice. This shifting makes little sense as the Department of Justice, in comparison to the Department of Health and Human Services, is not equipped to deal with the multi-faceted experiences and needs of survivors. Besides ill-conceived revisions, another detrimental aspect to the stalling of passing this reauthorization act is the inaccurate application of language used to discuss human trafficking to prosecute undocumented immigrants in states such as Arizona where anti-immigrant fervor is strong.
So what does this act look like now? Where does it stand and what does it have to do with the Senate Caucus to End Human Trafficking? The aforementioned editorial in The New York Times also details how in October 2011, a Senate bill to renew this act through 2015 cleared the Judiciary Committee, yet has not come to a floor vote. The bill for this act's renewal cuts appropriations to 130 million but increases "victim" assistance to $25.5 million. It also has strengthened enforcement measures. The Senate Caucus to End Human Trafficking is co-chaired by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Robert Portman (R-OH). They aim to engage caucus members in agreeing upon common goals and creating policies to achieve these goals in the quest to end human trafficking. There are 13 Senators on this caucus, and it is fitting that Blumenthal and Portman are co-chairs because in June 2012, they sponsored the End Trafficking in Government Contracting bill. (In this bill, these two Senators hoped to change pending defense fund legislation in order to stop funds for government contractors who employed trafficked laborers.) It is suspected the work and attention that this caucus will garner can only bring the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2011 back to both public and governmental discussion. The caucus has already begun productive conversation as Jada Pinkett Smith has expressed her hope that the caucus will establish an advisory council of survivors that can help the government comprehend the various complexities of human trafficking. It appears good results can come out of this caucus.
Recent news reports have restated the need for this act, along with the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, to pass Congress before the end of this year. However, with much needed attention and work focused on the "fiscal cliff," the renewal of these crucial acts seems doubtful and such a delay would be disastrous for those seeking assistance. The same editorial in The New York Times describes recent successful efforts made to reach out to survivors of human trafficking. These efforts include: "a new trafficking hot line, financed through a grant by health and human services, for instance, [which] has taken more than 49,000 calls, connected 5,770 potential victims with services and provided more than 2,155 law-enforcement tips." Such services are not plentiful and whatever resources exist to help people who find themselves to be survivors of exploitative practices like human trafficking should be maintained if not expanded.

Thank you for your post, Prof. Méndez. I voted in California last month, and Prop. 35 had to do with human trafficking and penalties. Like most voters uninformed on this measure, I unquestioningly voted YES for increased penalties on those convicted of human trafficking crimes. I soon learned from my progressive colleagues that I should have voted NO. Do you know about this measure and how it affects people of color?

I cannot imagine life without books any more than I can imagine life without breathing.
What do you plan to do the day before Thanksgiving? We've all heard that the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is supposed to be one of the year's busiest travel days, but now, according to a recent Barnes & Noble survey, Thanksgiving Eve is the "busiest reading day of the year".
The discrepancy between these two statistics is confusing. Do some Thanksgiving Eve readers think it's not a good idea to read while traveling? Also, how do these numbers show that Thanksgiving Eve is the busiest reading day of the year? Maybe 85% of Americans read on a random Sunday in March.
Where were these people last Wednesday when I was delayed for several hours at O'Hare? I read almost an entire book in that time (Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family, by Amy Ellis Nutt), and I'm not a speed reader. I'm leading a book discussion on Laurie Frankel's novel, This Is How It Always Is, about a family raising a transgender child, and wanted to read nonfiction about this subject. If you really want to liven up your Thanksgiving gathering, I recommend either of these books.
Almost everyone at the gate appeared bored and restless, fiddling with their phones and fidgeting in their seats. A few idly flipped through magazines. One man was absorbed in a paperback, but he was the only one. Some people stared into space and did absolutely nothing. I wondered if they had rich interior lives or if the opposite were true. I also wondered if these were the same people who say they can't find time to read, because if they were, they were missing a golden opportunity.
Even though I've heard this comment, or its cousin, "How on earth do you find the time to read?", more times than I can count, I still don't know how to respond. Because, of course, most reading doesn't happen at airport gates during lengthy delays, or even aboard airplanes, unless you're a jet-setter.
So how do you make time to read? It's all a matter of priorities. Your house may not be as tidy as you'd like, you may rarely make it to the gym, your houseplants may live short and unhappy lives, you may not walk your dog as much as she'd like, and you might have to decline some of the volunteer opportunities that come your way ("So sorry! I can't spend my Saturday supervising the middle school concession stand!").
Find the right books that you love and that you can't wait to get back to reading. Don't waste time slogging through books you find boring. One of my writing classmates mentioned that she struggled with feeling guilty about abandoning books that weren't working for her, and our teacher directed us to "The Rights of the Reader" by Daniel Pennac, in which the third item on the list is "The right not to finish a book." (Item #5 is important as well: "The right to read anything").
Be efficient with your time — listen to audiobooks while walking and driving. Some people seem concerned about whether this counts as reading, for some reason. Yes, it does.
Always carry a real book with you. Technology can malfunction, and batteries can drain. But on the other hand, always have a book downloaded on your phone or tablet. On my last flight, the overhead light didn't work and I wouldn't have been able to read if I hadn't had a book on my phone.
This Thanksgiving Eve, I won't be traveling. I'll be at home, curled up with She Read to Us in the Late Afternoons: A Life in Novels, a memoir about Kathleen Hill's reading life and how it has intersected with her "real" life. My current audiobook is Dear Fahrenheit 451: Love and Heartbreak in the Stacks: A Librarian's Love Letters and Breakup Notes to the Books in Her Life, by Annie Spence, which is absolutely delightful, although I could do without all the f-bombs. We all know librarians are cool.
Next up: Sing, Unburied, Sing, by Jesmyn Ward, because it just won the National Book Award, and Hue: A Turning Point of the American War in Vietnam, by Mark Bowden, because we'll be discussing it at our next couples' book club.
Coming soon: recommended winter reading (fiction and nonfiction, paperback and hardcover) and holiday gift ideas. Have a happy Thanksgiving! I hope you find some time to read over the long weekend — and not because you're stuck in an airport.

SILVERADO TRAIL WINERY
About Vine Cliff
Nestled in a quiet canyon above the Silverado Trail in the world famous Napa Valley stands the breathtaking vineyards of Vine Cliff Winery. Known for rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons from the treasured Oakville Appellation and bold Chardonnays from the acclaimed Carneros District, Vine Cliff Winery prides itself on small lots of intensely flavored, hand-made wines.
It is Proprietress Nell Sweeney's vision for Vine Cliff, her relentless effort to create a warm and welcoming experience at the Silverado Trail Winery and at the St. Helena Wine Tasting Room, matched by the passion of Vine Cliff's winemaking team in the making of quality handcrafted wines at the Silverado Trail estate, that makes Vine Cliff such an extraordinary story. Its current position as a leader in the production of premium world class Napa Valley wines is fitting tribute to its legacy as a 'ghost winery' founded in 1871 (and now one of the oldest wineries in the Napa Valley), and its role in the beginning of the Napa Valley wine industry.
THE VINE CLIFF STORY
The Vine Cliff Winery Estate of today is an exquisite mountainside property located on land which was once part of the original George C. Yount estate. It is one of the oldest wineries founded in the Napa Valley
Noteworthy locals George Burrage and Thomas Tucker purchased the site for Vine Cliff Winery from the Yount Estate in 1870 (five years after Yount's death). They started wine production a year later. At the time, one of Yount's three vineyards – now covered by Rector Dam – lay in close proximity to the planned site of Vine Cliff Winery. Since acreage in vines northeast of Yountville at that time was limited, it is likely that the duo counted on purchasing all the grapes produced on Yount's ranch and vineyard. Burrage and Tucker built Vine Cliff into what appears to be the largest winery in the Napa Valley.
Though Burrage and Tucker did not live long enough to establish a reputation for Vine Cliff, they did construct an impressive winery and tunnels, one of which remains to the present. After the deaths of Burrage and Tucker, wealthy San Franciscan, John Fry purchased the property and immediately set out to achieve his vision for the winery, which he did by the 1890's. Fry had made a fortune in Nevada silver and invested heavily in San Francisco real estate. He served on the board of directors of a dozen major companies, including the Bank of California and the Napa Valley Wine Company, a connection, which proved particularly fruitful for Vine Cliff.
A half-dozen wineries were affiliated with the Napa Valley Wine Company, the leaders of which wanted to build name recognition for the company by setting a quality standard with its wines unmatched in California. As Vine Cliff Winery prospered, it attracted the elite social set of San Francisco. Prominent San Franciscans visiting Vine Cliff included William Ralston, the founder of the Bank of California. During Vine Cliff's heydays in the 1890's, the winery and Fry ranch were model farms in the Napa Valley. In addition to the vineyards, the property also encompassed a water wheel functioning as a gristmill, and Yount Mill, home to a range of wild birds. Trees and formal gardens greeted guests arriving at the estate, which featured the stately 18-room Fry mansion. Amazingly, the early history of Vine Cliff is contained within a short thirty years. Phylloxera destroyed the vineyards and supporting wine production by about 1900. After Fry's death in 1901, most of the winery structure disappeared in a matter of a few years, except for the stone first floor and tunnels.
Read more about Vine Cliff as one of the original Napa Valley ghost wineries.
"Vine Cliff is truly a labor of love for my family. The passion for making ultra fine wines has continued into the next generation. We get excited about each vintage as if it was our first at Vine Cliff. We are gratified that we have such a loyal following of wine lovers that makes it all worthwhile."
Nell Sweeney,
It took close to 85 years before Vine Cliff, like the phoenix in its seal, rose from the ashes. In 1985, Nell Sweeney purchased the estate. The vineyards became alive again with new plantings of cabernet sauvignon. The Sweeney Family introduced ecological farming practices to Vine Cliff. The original Vine Cliff winery stone first floor was resurrected in 1990 and 1991 with the construction of a barrel chaise. In 1995 a new gravity fed production facility was completed. It is considered one of the top and most innovative production facilities in California. Additional vineyards were purchased by the family in Calistoga and Carneros achieving over 40 acres of estate vineyards by 1999. In June of 2000, the present day much acclaimed cave was completed, providing 15,000 square feet of barrel aging capability.
In 2014, the Sweeney Family opened the Vine Cliff Cellars St. Helena Tasting Room to accommodate a greater number of Vine Cliff wine lovers flocking to Napa Valley for an exclusive tasting experience. At the St. Helena Vine Cliff Tasting Room, a seasonal culinary menu compliments the Vine Cliff wine tasting program. The Sweeney Family continues the vision – to produce outstanding distinctive wines, and to create a landmark winery where the incredible beauty of its historic hillside setting is to be enjoyed and where the legacy of Vine Cliff continues to soar like the phoenix.

Bishop Ludden STEM Program Expands Student Skills
By Michca Ballard-Fortin
STEM: an acronym for an educational program designed to prepare students for college and graduate study in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The original baseline of STEM studies aims to engage a student's inquiring mind, foster logical reasoning, and develop collaboration and team-building skills. Once thought to be an advanced or progressive course of study, curriculums adapted around the STEM modality have proven to be necessary in any academic programming that strives to be exceptional. Students who are exposed to science and math in an engaging environment learn valuable lessons and skills for their future in any fields.
An example of STEM in action is quite literally on display in the classrooms at Bishop Ludden Jr./Sr. High School in Syracuse. Started as a Keystone Senior Project in the Fall of 2015, Bishop Ludden has captured student interest with an aquaponics project. The project was created to fulfill a graduation requirement and has led to a long-term initiative that is now being monitored and cared for by the next group of students.
Faculty advisors Karen McDonald, science, and Maxine Babcock, library, encouraged and supported three students as they built an aquaponics aquarium. The students applied for a grant for the startup money, built the aquarium and worked together to figure out the chemistry, learning how to monitor and maintain the fish and fauna inside. The students were recognized by local media for the creativity and skills they used to complete and maintain the fish in the project. Admittedly, the fish smell was overwhelming in some locations, but the aquarium has found a permanent home in a well-ventilated part of the school that is close to water and gives a new group of high school students a project to maintain.
In addition to being a great Senior Keystone Project, aquaponics has become the catalyst for students taking chances on other new STEM ideas. Students in the high school already had the Physics Club, Chemistry Club and the Science Olympiad, and with the buzz about aquaponics, Principal Brenda Reichert encouraged the faculty to continue to foster ideas from the students.
Armed with a financial sponsorship referral, Reichert went to her teachers and offered to support a robotics team. Babcock enlisted the support of science teacher Jennifer Andrews, new to the faculty, to build a first Bishop Ludden Robotics Team for the First Lego League program. The team was comprised of mostly middle school students who met once a week with Andrews and Babcock and FLL advisor Andrew Leary, an outside parent volunteer and member of the CNY Science & Robotics Association who has stepped up and sponsored the school's FLL Robot Kit. They went on to build a robot and compete in a FLL competition. Not only was the group successful in working as a team to guide a robot on a mission, the advisors noticed that both boys and girls in many grade levels were showing interest in the other STEM extracurricular activities offered periodically.
This growing list of STEM extracurricular offerings is only possible because of the dedication of seasoned faculty like Dr. William Burnett, science, and Babcock, in addition to newer faculty like Andrews and Kyle Tierney, mathematics. Faculty connections and professional networks have offered Bishop Ludden student groups the opportunity to partner with East Syracuse-Minoa's Chemistry Club to take on the Museum of Science and Technology Rocket Technological Association Central New York challenge this year and coordinate next summer's Robotics Summer Camp to be bigger than before.
Participation in STEM Club adds to college resume building and demonstrates students overall commitment to their studies. The advisors hope that students with varied interests get involved in STEM Club activities, noting that is takes may different skills and interests — like journalism, social media, blogging, data monitoring — to work on a science team.
Michca Ballard-Fortin is the proud parent of two students in the Diocesan Catholic Schools.

Part 11 of "Knowing and Doing the Will of God" A Series on Experiencing God Series Recap: EG Reality #7 -- "You come to know God by experience as you obey him, and he accomplishes his work through you." Obedience is not: •	Right BELIEF or DOCTRINE •	WORSHIP •	PRAYER Obedience is: An EXPRESSION of our love of God. When we obey God, we will follow his commands and teachings. Jesus said, "If you love me, you will obey what I command. If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me" (John 14:15, 23-24, NIV).

Q: IFNULL around a complicated Case Function select column How do I fix my IFNULL so that it doesn't break the below? If I remove the IFNULL than it works fine, but I need to calculate data off that column and need to get rid of the null values and replace with a 0.
 IFNULL(CASE
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Transportation & Warehousing' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Construction' THEN 19
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Field Services' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Wholesale Trade' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Manufacturing' THEN 30
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Consumer Products' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Retail Trade' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Passenger Transit' THEN 25
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Mining, Quarrying, Oil & Gas' THEN 25
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Food & Beverage' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Utilities' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Health Care & Social Assistance' THEN 25
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Government' THEN 26
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Educational Services' THEN 25
    ELSE 254
    END * Number_Of_Vehicles *0.99) +
(CASE
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Transportation & Warehousing' THEN 34
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Construction' THEN 32
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Field Services' THEN 33
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Wholesale Trade' THEN 36
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Manufacturing' THEN 39
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Consumer Products' THEN 42
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Retail Trade' THEN 31
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Passenger Transit' THEN 32
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Mining, Quarrying, Oil & Gas' THEN 32
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Food & Beverage' THEN 23
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Utilities' THEN 32
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Health Care & Social Assistance' THEN 32
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Government' THEN 42
    WHEN A.Industry = 'Educational Services' THEN 39
    ELSE 32
    END * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49),0)

Tried to add an ifnull, but unsure how to do that in this case with the correct format.

A: The immediate issue is with parentheses, that are not well balanced. You don't need parentheses around the CASEs, only one pair is needed, for the IFNULL() function.
Also, you could simplify the CASE expressions so that the checked column is not repeated again and again. I also find that it would be easier to follow if there was a single CASE expressions with WHEN branches managing the whole arithmetic, rather than two distinct expressions with similar branches.
We could phrase this as:
IFNULL(
    CASE A.Industry
        WHEN 'Transportation & Warehousing'     THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 34 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Construction'                     THEN 19 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 32 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Field Services'                   THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 33 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Wholesale Trade'                  THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 36 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Manufacturing'                    THEN 30 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 39 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Consumer Products'                THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 42 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Retail Trade'                     THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 31 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Passenger Transit'                THEN 25 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 32 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Mining, Quarrying, Oil & Gas'     THEN 25 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 32 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Food & Beverage'                  THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 23 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        WHEN 'Utilities'                        THEN 26 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 32 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49

        WHEN 'Educational Services'             THEN 25 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 39 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49
        ELSE                                        254 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.99 + 32 * Number_Of_Vehicles * 0.49

Ice cream. Two words that bring a smile to your face, a tickle in your tummy and a cure for what ails you on a long, hot day.
Though our kids get a summer break, the world and its trials don't. Now, in addition to camp, work, sports, cooking, cleaning, catering and cohabitating, we get an adhesive, smothering, smoggy heat for a couple months.
But have some ice cream at the end of a blistering day, preferably after the little angels have been safely and securely duct-taped in bed, and the universe begins to spin on its axis once more. It will be knocked off-kilter again tomorrow. But for now, there is stillness.
I recently paid a steep price for a pint of gourmet ice cream at my favorite local store. As the cashier was going over my earnings statement and loan application, I asked what made this brand so expensive. The maker was too cheap to even put labels on the containers, hand writing the flavors on each pint with a Sharpie.
Long Beach? Wow. Must be good then.
And it was. Deliciously unique, as a matter of fact. But I am going to hold off on buying it again until I have a special occasion. Maybe when William and Kate accept my invitation to come over for a barbecue.
One of our family's summer rituals is to go to Foster's Freeze, get soft-serve delicacies and sit in the back of my truck devouring them before we drive home sticky and self-loathing. You can keep your Cold Stone Creamery. Give me a vanilla dipped cone and 300 napkins, and I don't care who the Republican candidates are.
But for me, two of the greatest words in ice cream lore are also the briefest.
the perfect, over-the-counter prescription for frozen dairy product nirvana. Vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two oatmeal cookies then covered in chocolate. Keep your Cool-A-Coos and your Toll House forgeries. It's It is the original, irreplaceable cookie and cream combination.
Almost non-existent in the Southland until recent years, the It's It was the original San Francisco treat. Sorry Rice-a-Roni. So growing up in Los Angeles, it wasn't a staple in our freezer.
Not until I ventured north for summer vacations with my father did I find out about Northern California's second best-kept dirty little secret — nuclear-powered marijuana being the first. Which answers the question of what inspired someone to create the It's It.
I have no proof, but the creator of the It's It must also have had something to do with other benevolent combinations: Oreos and milk, chocolate and peanut butter, the Captain and Tennille.
After returning home from my travels to the nether regions of our state, I felt like Ponce de Leon returning from his explorations trying to convince people that this mysterious, miraculous treasure existed far, far away.
Ostracized and humiliated, I sat alone at the lunch table reserved for kids with yet undiagnosed nervous disorders and hallucinatory images of friend people.
But, as with my childhood insistence that the station wagon was merely the beginning of a revolution in family transportation, I stand vindicated. You can now find It's Its at your major supermarkets. Though this saddens me — the mass-marketing of something quaint, joyful, magical and unknown — I'm glad I don't have to drive six hours to get them anymore.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what your favorite ice cream is. Unless, of course, your favorite ice cream is Rocky Road. In which case, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the party.
Maybe it's the ice cream sodas you shared with your grandmother, the metallic, melodious off-key muzak of the ice cream truck blocks away, or the deliciously inexpensive cylindrical stumps of chocolate chip from Thrifty Drug Store your father bought for you while he waited for his cholesterol medication to be refilled.
Whatever it is, enjoy it before it melts. Because life is simply better with ice cream.
