Mongolia & Russia: Naadam, Buryatia and Lake Baikal Combo Tour
Join YPT for a summer full of nomadic thrill as we follow the influence of the Khans in both Mongolia and one of the prettiest part of Russia, Buryatia all the way to Irkutsk and Lake Baikal on this combo tour!
The tour starts in Beijing for a 26-hour train ride to the capital of Mongolia, Ulan Bator, or you can start the tour on day 2 in Ulan Bator. The moment we arrive we'll jump right into the national parks nearby the capital! we will leave the city to visit both the Mount Khogno natural reserve and Terelj National Park, both famed for their wildlife and unforgettable trekking opportunities. We'll ride camels in the dunes and horses on the steppes before heading back to Ulan Bator just in time for the festivities of Naadam. Naadam is centered around 3 main sports – horse riding, wrestling and archery. After taking in the festival, we will spend a day checking out all the highlights of the capital. It wouldn't be a YPT tour without checking out massive Soviet monuments and political museums. From there, we will ride the train to Ulan-Ude, crossing all of Mongolia. We stop for a day in the capital of Buryatia to meet the Buryats an ethnicity of Russia which shares common ancestors with the Mongols.
We'll then make our way out of Ulan-Ude, capital of Buryatia by train to Irkutsk and the stunning Lake Baikal. This section of the transsiberian railway is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful so we'll take the day train to see it properly. Train enthusiasts will rejoice! We'll be exploring the city of Irkutsk, Siberia's second city after Vladivostok, and one with an amazing history and culture of St Petersburg exiles and local ethnic groups.
We'll be spending 3 nights in and around Lake Baikal on Olkhon Island, the biggest lake island in the world, its various villages and islands, including a visit to Stalin's 'fish gulag' at Peshchanaya village, and a bonfire meal and drinks with the local Shamanistic Buryat people! We'll ride around untouched sceneries of extreme beauty on the world's biggest lake island. Hiking on scenic coasts and climbing up the dramatic Burkhan Cape.
Naadam is the biggest event in Mongolia, attracting massive crowds. We can expect accommodations and tickets for the festival to be sold out months in advance. Don't be left out, book now!

Douglas Edvard Melin, född 4 oktober 1895 i Göteborg, död 29  mars 1946 i Uppsala, var en svensk zoolog men även boxare och friidrottare (stående längdhopp och stående höjdhopp).

Douglas Melin var son till grosshandlaren Ernst Waldemar Melin och sonson till Olof Melin. Han växte huvudsakligen upp hos farfadern i Göteborg och Djursholm och under gymnasietiden bodde han hos en släkting i Skara. Efter studentexamen vid Skara högre allmänna läroverk 1914 blev han student vid Uppsala universitet, blev 1917 filosofie kandidat med zoologi som huvudämne, 1921 filosofie licentiat och 1923 filosofie doktor. År 1923 blev han docent i entomologi och 1927 i zoologi vid Uppsala universitet. Melin blev under studietiden även reservofficer, 1916 fänrik, 1919 underlöjtnant, 1921 löjtnant och 1938 kapten vid Älvsborgs regementes reserv.

Han var knuten till Zoologiska institutionen vid Uppsala Universitet och ledde Svenska Amazonasexpeditionen 1923–1925. Samlingarna fördelades mellan Uppsala Universitet och Naturhistoriska riksmuseet. Melin bearbetade själv bland annat groddjur och en del insekter. Han skrev även om mimicry, och kritiserades Darwins selektionsteori.

Flera arter har blivit uppkallade till hans ära såsom fiskarna Rineloricaria melini och Corydoras melini.

Som friidrottare tävlade han för klubben Upsala Studenters IF och vann SM i stående längdhopp åren 1916 till 1919 samt år 1921. Vid de olympiska spelen i Stockholm 1912 kom han på fjortonde plats i stående längdhopp.

Douglas Melin är begravd på Norra begravningsplatsen utanför Stockholm.

Vitiligo is a disease that affects 0.5-2% of world population. It is not dangerous but can be very distressing. In fact, the disease causes more mental than physical harm. See vitiligo pictures for illustrations.
Much about vitiligo remains only vaguely understood. However, there are quite a number of myths which can easily mislead a patient. One good example is the myth that vitiligo is completely incurable. It is true that the disease has no known cure, but it can be effectively managed with medications, creams, lotions, vitamins and other products or methods.
The best treatment approach for vitiligo is to seek help from a professional. Combined efforts, mainly with therapies may have the disease treated effectively. PUVA therapy for example has a success rate of about 75% while surgery has about 90%. Better results are more likely when treatment is started early.
One of the popular treatment options is use of vitiligo cream. As it is to be expected, the cream is to be applied directly to affected areas.
There are two main types of vitiligo creams: corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. Vitiligo doesn't cause common skin problems associated with skin diseases such as dryness and scaling. Regardless, patients sometimes experience mild itchiness and inflammation.
Corticosteroids excel in reducing inflammation and itchiness. But since they come with side effects such as skin thinness, a doctor should direct their use. This is especially when treating vitiligo baby signs. Corticosteroids are widely available and affordable. While they are not likely going to get rid of vitiligo completely, they may improve the condition generally.
Most vitiligo cases are due to autoimmune activities. This is where immune system becomes overactive and attacks healthy cells, melanocytes in this case. Immunosuppressants are often used to calm aggressive immune cells and in the process stop their effects. Immune suppressing creams for vitiligo should only be used as directed by a doctor. While they are fairly effective, they come with a list of side effects and may in fact be of more harm than good.
Best time and fashion to use vitiligo creams depends on several factors. It is for such reasons that patients should check with their doctors beforehand. In almost all cases, the cream of choice is applied directly to the white areas. Other than corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, creams may play the role of sunscreens or be part of PUVA therapy. PUVA therapy makes use of a substance known as psoralen and UVA light. It is perhaps the most effective and practical vitiligo treatment option.
Some patients get very god results with vitiligo creams. A small mistake can however prove very costly in the long run. This is partly because body areas affected by vitiligo tend to be particularly more sensitive.
Vitiligo skin disorder is not among the diseases that lead to life-threatening complications without treatment. For such reasons, one of the available treatment options is to conceal the white patches or make them look like normal skin. This is done with concealers, mainly colored cosmetics. Vitiligo Cover Lotion is a popular product used for this purpose.
As the name suggests, it is a lotion meant to blend vitiligo patches with normal skin. Its main active ingredient is DHA, which comes in strength of 8%. This compound is a product of natural sources such as sugar cane and fermented glycerin.
The lotion should be applied after shower. The shower is meant to exfoliate the skin so that the lotion can reach the epidermis effectively. Before application, ensure the skin is dry. You can pat dry or leave for air drying.
Users can apply the lotion on the whole body or only on affected areas. It is advisable to ensure that areas adjacent to vitiligo patches have also been dressed with the lotion. Allow about 15 minutes for the lotion to settle before getting dressed. Since the lotion takes several hours before masking the vitiligo patches, avoid activities that may lead to excessive sweating.
Only one application is required per week. Applying more lotion will not result in better skin tone. However, people with darker skins may need more than one application for best results. Always allow about 6-8 hours to pass before deciding if another application is necessary or not.
One application gives the desired skin tone for three to ten days. Some of the advantages of Vitiligo Cover Lotion are that it doesn't wash off with water and works on any skin.
Use of DHA in cosmetics has been approved by FDA. The compound reacts with specific proteins that produce skin tones. These proteins are found in the epidermis. As a result, Vitiligo Cover Lotion produces its effects without necessarily penetrating into deeper skin layers. This makes the lotion non-toxic.
Other than DHA, other substances such as aloe vera, walnut extract and Shea butter are included in the lotion. Their work is to even skin tone and in the process compliment the effects of DHA. These additional ingredients also ensure that DHA doesn't cause side effects such as atopic eczema. They make the lotion mild enough to be used even on genital vitiligo.
Effects take place in the part of skin that contains keratin. This means that water and sweat will largely leave the effects intact.
Many celebrities who have been diagnosed with vitiligo take advantage of concealers to hide depigmented patches. With the right products, this strategy can be fairly effective and inexpensive. You can always consult a professional for help on how to choose the best product. But with inspiration from cases such as Winnie Harlow vitiligo, you can forego the whole concealing business.
Close links have been found between vitamin D and autoimmune diseases. In people who receive low doses of this vitamin, more cases of autoimmune diseases are reported. Receiving vitamin D in foods and supplements may therefore reduce aggressiveness of vitiligo, especially in terms of segmental vitiligo turning non-segmental.
Other than diabetes type 1 and thyroid disease, another genetic disease commonly seen in vitiligo patients is pernicious anemia. This disease makes it hard for vitamin B-12 to be effectively absorbed in the body. It therefore may be that lack of vitamin B-12 is a predisposing factor to vitiligo. It is for this reason that vitamin B-12 with folic acid is commonly prescribed in an attempt to improve skin pigmentation.
Lack of vitamin C causes scurvy. This is a disease that causes skin problems and low red blood cell levels among other problems. Sunburns and cuts are among the known potential causes of vitiligo. With a weakened skin due to lack of vitamin C, frequent cases of skin trauma are inevitable. Supplementing with vitamin C may in the long run help manage vitiligo.
Zinc is an important mineral in the body. It plays a critical role in maintaining a healthy immune system. Supplementing with zinc may help suppress autoimmune vitiligo spots.
Copper is often used together with zinc for vitiligo natural treatment. It works by improving skin tone. So far, further research is required to unearth the importance of copper and zinc in controlling or treating vitiligo.
Vitiligo is sometimes a genetic disease. This means it can run in families. To people who have lived with the disease for most part of their lives, treatment is not always the first thing in their minds. The problem is that vitiligo affected areas are very sensitive to sunlight. Melanin keeps the skin from sun poisoning. In its absence, even low doses of sunlight may produce a tingling effect or even sunburns.
Sunscreens offer a very practical, affordable and easy solution to this problem. For body areas such as the face where you may wear makeup, choose a fragrance free and moisturizing sunscreen. Wear it first before applying makeup.
Best sunscreen to protect vitiligo affected areas should offer broad-spectrum protection and be SPF 30+. One application daily is usually enough although sunscreen applied on face is likely to wear off before a day is over. You can always apply more than once a day. When dealing with vitiligo on back, it advisable to also apply sunscreen on arms and neck.
Sun damage can also cause immature aging or wrinkling of skin due to loss of collagen. This can be avoided with use of products such as blue copper 5 vitiligo products.
If you can't seem to settle on the best sunscreen to keep your skin protected, get help from a professional. Sunscreens are a crucial part of overall vitiligo treatment. In fact, segmental vitiligo can turn non-segmental in advent of sunburns caused by initial vitiligo patches.
The main conventional treatments for vitiligo have not been discussed here. These include light therapy, surgery and micropigmentation. Such options are more effective but require both time and resources. For example, some online reviews swear by the Cuba cure for vitiligo while others insist on Ayurveda medicine. Micropigmentation is a sort of opposite of vitiligo. It is often considered for vitiligo on the lips. The treatment involves implanting pigment in the affected areas.


I went to my candidate's shop Thursday and helped with paperwork associated with phone donations. We sent out thank you cards for donations received, and did the usual bookkeeping associated with getting money. Then he started making phone calls.
He makes the phone calls, I address the envelopes and type in the addresses and amounts (if needed) into the form letters. Then I save the form letter under the addressee name, and later, he comes back, prints out all the letters, and stuffs the envelopes.
We also use a handy log form and put down the date of the call, whether we got an answer, how much they pledged, and so on. If we don't get an answer, we mark that down, and those sheets go in a separate file for general callbacks. If we spoke to them, but they asked for a specific date to call back, we put those in a file for that purpose. It seems almost too simplistically detailed, but it makes it much easier when you have something pointing you in the direction you need to go, rather than running in circles.
They were planning on getting a group together to do some canvassing on Saturday, but I had plans, so I don't know whether they did or not.
Lately, this topic has been a burr under my saddle.
Independents and Democrats (and even moderate Republicans) don't seem to be very interested in local politics anymore. These are the same folks who will take the time to sort their garbage for recyclables, and to compost their grass clippings. But they can't be bothered with paying attention to their local political situation. They'll get out and pound pavement for their presidential candidate, but won't lift a finger to get their Mayor elected. Or their school board representative. Or their county commisioners, or their state senator/representative. And then they wonder what in the hell is going on when the Kansas legislature attempts to slide back into the dark ages. I'm as guilty as everyone else over this. As soon as the Presidential election was over, I took a vacation from politics. Haven't been to a meeting, barely even wrote anything on Facebook, let alone here on LJ.
Right wing Republicans, on the other hand, seem to take it as their God-given duty to help run their local politics. They vote. They donate time and money. They attend meetings. They campaign. They run for office. No wonder all the local elections have gone heavily towards the Republican side of the fence. And not the good side of the Republican fence, either, but the side that believes that they are doing politics for the Glory of God. We need to stop this.
The people who start out as our City commissioners, our mayors, all those offices I listed up above, are the same people who end up being our US Senators and Representatives in the next decade or two. I don't think I want someone who believes I should be prevented from having an abortion, getting a divorce, getting the morning-after pill, or doing ANY DAMN THING I WANT TO LEGALLY DO representing me in Congress. And yes, I know that description hits VERY close to home for nearly every Kansas National congresscritter right now. They may not come right out and say it, but their voting record speaks for itself.
The thought is terrifyingly close to Gilead.
We need to get involved. We have to get a (for lack of a better term) base of sensible center and center-left representatives built back up in our local governments, so we have people that have political experience ready to move up the ladder from city, to state, to national levels. And we don't have that any more.
If you are a Democrat (heck, even if you aren't-they welcome independents at their meetings), contact your state Democratic Committee and find out who your reps are in your area. Go to the local meetings. Get involved in your city government. Get involved in your school board government. GET INVOLVED. If you have the time to invest, run for local office. It takes very little time to be a local Democrat committee person, and yet there are two positions for every voting precinct in the state-one man and one woman.
Autonomy is the price of sloth, and we are very close to finding that out the hard way. What would have taken just a bit of effort a decade or two ago, now will take some serious work. But unless we want to go back to the days that the right wing dreams of, where women couldn't get out of an unwanted pregnancy, or an unwanted marriage, or an unwanted life choice, we are going to have to get our collective butts in gear.
The bad: temps of 106, yesterday, today, predicted over 104 for the rest of the week.
I've lived in Colorado Springs for the past 35 years. This is undoubtedly the worst disaster that we have seen within my lifetime. It's going to be another hot, dry day here; we set an all-time record high of 101° on Tuesday (the day the fire really exploded). For the past five days, I've watched the fire grow from my window and hear the MAFFS as they fly over. I'm thankful that the President will be coming here tomorrow (6/29). I hope he'll authorize some federal funds to help the firefighting effort.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Reuters) - Firefighters struggled on Wednesday to beat back a fiercely aggressive wildfire raging at the edge of Colorado Springs that has forced at least 35,000 people from their homes and was nipping at the edges of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The so-called Waldo Canyon Fire, fanned by gusting winds, has gutted an unknown number of homes on the wooded fringes of Colorado's second-most populous city and prompted more evacuations as flames roared out of control for a fifth day.
Colorado Springs Fire Chief Rich Brown told Reuters that he had "a number in mind" for the approximate tally of homes lost in Tuesday night's firestorm but did not want to release that information until residents of those dwellings were notified.
Governor John Hickenlooper said after flying over the fire zone Tuesday night that he saw many homes destroyed in a "surreal," luminous landscape below, but did not give a number.
Pressed for an estimate of property losses on Wednesday, fire information officer Greg Heule said, "We've started the process of identifying the structures, but we haven't completed the inventory," adding "there's still active fire in there."
Brown called the firestorm threatening his city - in a metropolitan area of more than 650,000 people - "a monster" and said that flames were "not even remotely close to being contained."
"I've never seen any progression like that," incident commander Rich Harvey said at a late-afternoon news conference. "The winds keep shifting on us. Again the winds are causing us problems out here."
Care and Share. Care and Share uses donations to purchase supplies (both food and things like socks) for the firefighters. In the "Please apply my gift to:" section, make sure to specify "Waldo Canyon Fire".
WASHINGTON -- The individual health insurance mandate is constitutional, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, upholding the central provision of President Barack Obama's signature Affordable Care Act.
The controlling opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the mandate as a tax, although concluded it was not valid as an exercise of Congress' commerce clause power. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined in the outcome.
The more we speak up, the more other like-minded people will be encouraged to speak up. And the more we show up to say NO to the right wing legislators and the plutocrats, the less drastic their attempts will be, as they realize that, like the State BOE officers that got voted out after the "Intelligent Design" fiasco, they too can be thrown out of office.
Kansas Democrats are gearing up for the 2012 Presidential Preference Caucuses being held on Saturday, April 14th. Registration begins at 1:00 pm; caucus meetings will begin promptly at 2:00 pm.

What Gmail hack? China spins news of Google threat
Chinese reports say little of alleged attacks on the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists
Owen Fletcher (IDG News Service) on 19 January, 2010 08:11
Chinese state media has spun Google's threat to leave China as a purely commercial move, as authorities there apparently work to limit discussion of human rights issues raised by Google.
Google last week said it had been hit by cyberattacks from China largely aimed at accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human right activists, and that the company might close down its China offices partly as a result.
In its announcement, the first of its type from a major U.S. Internet company operating in China, Google said other reasons for its decision included growing attempts to limit free speech online.
But while many Western news reports on Google's move have focused on those politically sensitive statements, few Chinese reports have cited them at all. Most reports that do mention the attack on Gmail have done so without elaborating, leaving out details that could incense Chinese authorities if seen in print.
"Several days after the Google announcement, there seem to be fewer Google-related posts and editorials in China that include across-the-bow shots at Internet censorship," David Bandurski, a researcher at the University of Hong Kong, wrote in a blog post on Sunday.
"This might suggest, although it is difficult to tell, that there have been directives from the propaganda department telling editors to dial it back."
Chinese journalists and news editors can face punishment by authorities for publishing articles on sensitive political topics. They are also sometimes ordered not to write on sensitive issues or to post only official newswire stories on them.
China's state-run media has largely dismissed the political concerns raised in Google's statement. An op-ed in the official newspaper China Daily slammed Google's motto of "do no evil" as hypocritical and suggested the company may be using it as a cover to exit the country for business reasons.
A report on Google's move by Xinhua, the state news agency, said it was "inappropriate to play up the issue, or turn it into a political one."
The Xinhua piece mentioned the cyberattacks on Google but did not name Gmail or human rights activists as their target. It called cyberattacks common and said it was "far-fetched" to blame China for them, though Google has not done so.
A Google spokeswoman said the company's motivation for its announcement was not financial. "While our revenues from China are really immaterial, we just had our best ever quarter," the spokeswoman said in an e-mail.
"That revenue, incidentally, is primarily from the export sector -- in other words Chinese companies advertising internationally on Google."
Reports about Google on privately run Chinese news sites have also said little about limits on free speech or the alleged cyberattacks on rights activists. Authorities may have ordered news portals to play down the rights issues, but the portals could also be censoring themselves, said Jeremy Goldkorn, founder of the blog Danwei.org.
Google became one of the most discussed topics on local portal Sina's microblog service within hours of the U.S. company's announcement last week, but Sina quickly deleted it from the list, said Goldkorn.
"The portals and Chinese Web sites themselves, they're huge on self-censorship," said Golkdkorn. "People know this is a sensitive thing."
China's foreign ministry last week responded to Google's move by saying the Chinese Internet was open and that foreign Internet companies were welcome to do business in China according to the law.

Leftovers From City Hall
Local politics in the San Gabriel Valley
Bye Blanca: South El Monte's long-time mayor officially off City Council
Posted on January 28, 2010 by Ben Baeder
I know she was eccentric, but it's still kind of sad to see that Blanca Figueroa will no longer serve on the South El Monte City Council.
I am having trouble finding out when she was first elected, but I know she's been on the council a long time, most of it as the city's popularly elected mayor.
Blanca was a talker, that's for sure. A phone conversation with her always took at least 30 minutes. I have to say, though, all 30 minutes were pretty fun. She talked in a stream-of-consciousness that assumed the listener knew all the inside stuff about the city. So every few minutes, I would stop her and have her explain something. It led to a lot of good stories.
Most recently, she made the national news for working all night at City Hall. The city passed a law outlawing working at City Hall at night, but the sheriff's captain said he wouldn't enforce it.
One of our reporters, I think it was Jennifer McLain, did a video interview with Blanca at a City Hall office. It was so funny. Blanca had a little stockings on, and a drawer full of snacks. She just gabbed in the kind, funny way she always did. I'll re-post it when I find it.
I'm not super familiar with Blanca's political career, but I think she was a fairly dedicated public servant. She served on lots of local governing boards and showed up at all the meetings. The other council members always kind of seemed jealous of her. I think they wondered how she remained so popular. Personally, I'll miss talking with Blanca. She is a sweetheart.
Here's a story about her replacement being chosen:
SOUTH EL MONTE – The City Council on Tuesday unanimously selected Willhans Ili as their newest colleague on the council. He was immediately sworn in.
Ili 34, was chosen from among eight candidates for the post, including former mayor Blanca Figueroa. He will fill the seat left vacant when Luis Aguinaga left the position to become mayor, after running unopposed for that post in November.
Ili said he was inspired to seek the seat in the wake of the death of his childhood friend and El Monte educator Agustin Roberto "Bobby" Salcedo.
"He was 33 and he did so much for the community. I'm 34 … I had to ask myself how I could help my community," Ili said. "It is sad that it took the death of a friend to motivate me."
Ili, who is finishing his master's degree in education at Point Loma Nazarene University, said his priorities would be to keep the city's budget balanced, build more affordable housing, and increase college graduation rates among South El Monte youths.
Before making its decision, the Council interviewed five of the candidates for approximately 15 minutes each.
In addition to Ili, Manuel Acosta, Dorris Hennings, Nancy Muniz and Robert Yrigoyen Jr. all answered questions about their ideas on the city's budget and future.
Council members all praised the candidates for their responses and interest in the vacant seat.
Though they were invited, Figueroa and candidates Jesus Castillo and Michael Pugrad Jr. did not
attend the meeting or interview for the vacant seat.
Figueroa ran unsuccessfully for council, instead of mayor, in November. As the third-place vote-getter in the council race for two seats, she had hoped the council would select her for Aguinaga's seat.
The council decided to select a replacement rather hold a special election for the seat, which would have cost approximately $30,000 to $50,000.
As a member of the council, Ili will be paid $771 a month.

Rosemead chickens to fly the coop?
From Staff Writer, Rebecca Kimitch:
The City Council will decide today (Tuesday) when and how to kick a controversial poultry slaughterhouse out of town.
Council members could decide to follow the Planning Commission's recommendation to send Chinese American Live Poultry packing by the end of the year, or it could give the business three years to move, as suggested by city staff.
Animal slaughter has been banned in the city since 2001.
However, since CAL Poultry first opened in 1991, when slaughterhouses were allowed, the facilities were grandfathered in and allowed to stay. Today's ordinance would strip that away while deciding when to close CAL Poultry.
CAL Poultry offers customers freshly killed chickens and ducks, slaughtered on site — a preferred option for many Asian American and Latino residents, according to CAL Poultry's owners.
But the slaughterhouse has been cited multiple times for violations to air quality, water quality and health codes. And neighbors have complained of odors coming from the facilities and escaped chickens wandering the neighborhood.
City officials have debated in recent years whether to shut the business down or allow it to remodel its facilities to better mask odors.
Owner Dana Phu has said the business would mount a legal challenge against any forced closure.
– Blogger's note: There's another place like this on Telegraph Road in unincorporated South Whittier. I think it's called Sing Lee Poultry and Seafood.

Leftovers from City Hall: The San Gabriel Valley gets a pot hub
LA PUENTE – I guess the San Gabriel Valley officially has a new marijuana capital – La Puente.
While officials at Los Angeles City Hall, the sheriff's office, and the District Attorney's office were all trying find ways to get rid of marijuana clinics, La Puente two weeks ago decided to allow six dispensaries.
By our count, that's the most in the San Gabriel Valley.
It struck me as a curious move, especially for a city with only 40,000 residents that has spent the last five years unsuccessfully trying to attract developers.
When they passed the law, council members argued that their hands were tied because six clinics had already applied to set up shop.
That's not a good excuse.
The city in August 2008 had the chance to temporarily ban the clinics, which would have given La Puente time to craft a law to regulate them.
Councilman Dan Holloway motioned to vote on the matter, but nobody seconded him. So the measure died. The city attorney at the time, Jamie Casso, warned that dispensaries would open.
Here's another fun fact: The pot lobby, if it can be called that, has done a little work in La Puente.
A Political Action Committee run Mayor Louie Lujan's brother Philip – called "Coalition for a Safe and Clean Environment," – in 2006 donated $4,025 in mailers and money to Holloway, Louie Lujan and Councilwoman Nadia Mendoza.
Philip founded the Southern California Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). And treasurer Liz McDuffie teaches classes about how to use pot. Neither one would say what the PAC did for the environment, and the coalition's MySpace page was full of references to marijuana culture. We wrote a story on the PAC last year. I don't think it's still active.
Last week I posted some of the information about the PAC on our Leftovers blog on the Tribune's Web site, a post that drew more comments than anything I've ever put up there.
Personally, I'm not very anti-marijuana. I've never smoked it, but I do not think it's a big deal.
I know for sure I would not want to live in a city that was going to become a hub for marijuana dispensaries.
I wonder if the city can gradually ratchet down the number of dispensaries.
I doubt it will happen. I feel like some sort of intrigue is at play. La Puente's City Council has historically been a little more cloak-and-dagger than most of our cities.
Meanwhile, the Internet is buzzing with reviews of La Puente's marijuana dispensaries. Reviewers say Trinity Wellness on Amar Road has good product, but they complained the prices were a little high. The company's Web site said first-time customers get a free glass pipe. And it offers discounts on rainy days. Another one on Hacienda Road is remodeling, but will still deliver Cali Mist or Purple Urcle to users' homes, according it's Web site.
An online review for the clinic is titled: "Just what LP needed!"

Leftovers from City Hall: As cities turn 50, the Valley lacks an identity
Sorry this is posted so late. Busy week.
— This year marks something special for the San Gabriel Valley. The last of the Valley's post-World War II cities are turning 50.
Temple City and San Dimas will reach the half-century mark this year. And Duarte, Bradbury, Baldwin Park, Industry, La Puente, Walnut and South El Monte all reached the milestone within the last five years.
People here love to brag that their cities are "small-town America" where everybody knows everybody and nobody moves away. But the statistics don't bear that out.
Is there any place in the United States where whites flew away faster?
Take Temple City: In 1970 the city was 98 percent white. In 2000, it was 38 percent, and I bet it will be a lot less when the 2010 figures are published. Temple City may still be Mayberry, but it's a Mayberry where two-thirds of the families moved there within the last 30 years.
Right now the Valley is so much in flux, I'm not sure what the Valley wants to be, or if there is even a common theme running through it.
Cities in the San Gabriel foothills seem like they want to stay the same – affluent and mostly white.
Diamond Bar and Walnut want to be quiet suburbs for educated immigrant families.
The Puente Valley is a wild card. During the 2000s, La Puente was always talking about projects and revitalizing downtown. Literally nothing has happened in the last five years besides a new community center.
Voters in Rowland Heights and Hacienda Heights both flirted with cityhood but decided against it. Both have thriving Asian-American communities and seem to be doing well.
Meanwhile there seems to be little sense of community in the three Valindas.
Industry is Industry, a big powerful alligator-shaped city with a fat wallet and its own agenda, which currently includes an NFL stadium.
Baldwin Park wanted to add more people and nicer homes and condominiums. But that died when the economy dived.
Azusa seems like it's on a roll. It got the new Target, and the effort to revitalize downtown hasn't completely been killed by the down economy. The Rosedale home development will eventually start again.
West Covina and Covina seem content to remain suburbs, although Covina recently has talked about an effort to liven up downtown.
El Monte's going for a transit village by the bus station.
And the whole west side seems like it will continue to be a magnet for Chinese and Vietnamese families seeking opportunity in the United States.
I lived in West Covina until just before my eighth birthday.
But, like almost all my family friends, we moved.
I talked to a colleague who also grew up here to find out what changed, and why he and I probably wouldn't move back here.
He said it a general shabbiness and lack of care in many of the neighborhoods. In addition, houses in the Valley's best areas are too expensive for middle-class people like us.
But crime is dropping in almost every neighborhood, and new faces are coming to the political scene. If some of those new faces put their egos aside and learn from their elders, I predict an interesting successful next 50 years. If not, I don't have a lot of hope.
– Ben Baeder is the Deputy Metro Editor of the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
Azusa council playing with fire?
Azusa is poised to give City Manager Fran Delach a 5 percent raise and a 5 percent bonus, saying the city recently met its goals, such as bringing a Target to the city.
I think most would agree that Delach is doing a good job in Azusa, which is plugging along with development plans.
But giving pay raises during bad times sometimes spells trouble for City Councils.
Case in point: Pico Rivera.
After the Pico Rivera City Council gave then-City Manager Dennis Courtemarche a $40,000 raise in 2004, outraged voters elected a new council majority. The new council fired Courtemarche in 2005.
The 2004 raise brought Courtemarche's salary to $200,000.
Delach's raise would bring his salary to about $212,000, according city documents.
Azusa has about 45,000 residents. Pico Rivera has about 65,000.
Here's an early version of the story
AZUSA – City Manager Fran Delach is set to get a raise and bonus at tonight's City Council meeting, according to city documents.
In a report prepared for tonight's meeting, a 5-percent raise and a 5-percent bonus are both recommended for approval for Delach who has been working for the city since June 2005.
The raise was at the direction of the council following positive evaluation's for Delach, according to documents.
The raise will bump Delach's salary to $212,483, plus the one time 5-percent bonus that should amount to about $10,000, according to city documents.
The report credits Delach for meeting city goals, including his work to bring a Target – now in construction – to Azusa and helping maintain a balanced budget without cutting staff, according to documents.
The raise and new contract with Delach will be retroactive to June 2009.
El Monte students need more awareness of college
Posted on January 18, 2010 by Rebecca Kimitch
Apparently students in El Monte do not have enough awareness of college. The city council will discuss at their meeting tomorrow a resolution declaring February College Awareness Month.
The sign of the times was placed on the agenda at the request of Mayor Andre Quintero.
Here is the resolution:
DRAFT RESOLUTION
COLLEGE AWARENESS MONTH
WHEREAS, a college education will increase a student's ability to understand developments in
society, to think critically, to express thoughts clearly in speech and in writing, and to make wise
decisions. These skills are useful throughout a lifetime; and
WHEREAS, a college education can help increase a student's understanding of the community,
the nation, and the world as he or she explores interests, discovers new areas of knowledge,
considers lifelong goals, and becomes a responsible citizen; and
WHEREAS, the world is changing rapidly. Many jobs rely on new technology and require more
brain power than ever. There is fierce competition for jobs that only a few years ago seemed
plentiful. In a student's working life, more and more jobs will require education beyond high
school. With a college education, students will have more jobs from which to choose; and
WHEREAS, a person who attends college generally earns more than a person who does not.
When comparing salaries over a lifetime, the earning gap is significant; and
WHEREAS, the City of El Monte has proclaimed the month of February 2010 as College
Awareness Month and encourages all educational communities to commemorate this occasion
with appropriate instructional activities; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the City of El Monte proclaims the month of February 2010 as College
with appropriate instructional activities.
Adopted this 19th day of January 2010, by the El Monte City Council
La Puente adopts marijuana law
The city is allowing only six marijuana dispensaries, according to a law passed Tuesday night.
The council unanimously passed the ordinance, which also calls for security at dispensaries.
The law is similar to those passed in other cities, but there is an interesting aside to this one.
Mayor Louie Lujan and council members Nadia Mendoza and Dan Holloway in 2006 took about $4,000 in contributions and mailers from the political action committee "Coalition for a Safe and Clean Environment," which is mostly composed of people dedicated to the legalization of marijuana. The friends on the PAC's myspace page was full of marijuana-related organizations.
And Lujan's little brother, Philip, was among the leaders of the PAC. Lujan has repeatedly said the PAC's donation had nothing to do with his votes on marijuana issues.
I don't suppose it's any different than a council member voting on a development after taking money from a developer, which happens all the time.

Leftovers: Leftovers goes budget crisis
Since there wasn't much going on in local politics over the holidays, here's a eight-point plan for LA County to help fix California. Some of it's quantifiable, and I realize some the money is from federal programs.
1. Reduce firefighter pay until there are about 10 qualified applicants for each job. Right now, hundreds apply for each position.
LA's city and county fire departments, which make up two thirds of the county's firefighters, cost a combined $1.5 billion.
A 10 percent reduction would reduce average annual firefighter pay from about $117,000 to $105,000.
Savings: Probably about $225 million if all departments are included
2. No reduced or free school lunches for school kids with fancy videogame systems. Why should the rest of us pay for food when kids go home to beat up hookers in the virtual world created by a $400 system?
About 59 percent of LA county's million students get reduced lunches at $2.68 per lunch.
Savings: Probably about $180 million per year.
3. Unless a math or reading curriculum turns out to be a flop, force school districts to keep math and language arts texts for at least 20 years. They can replace aging books, but they would not be able to overhaul entire sets of books every three years, like the way it is now.
Although there's no place to find the figure, it's possible that schools have been paying $33 million a year for math and language books.
Savings: $25 million a year
4. Make laws more accessible by creating a panel of eighth-graders that must read and pass a quiz on any new law passed by the Legislature. Same thing with city and state budgets.
Savings: Who knows? The sky's the limit if we actually understand how the government works.
5. For any new law passed, an old one must die.
Savings: Can't tell
6. Increase pay for local politicians. During the housing boom, builders bought politicians. Those politicians in turn allowed developers to stuff houses into every nook and cranny. I don't want them always scrambling for money, and politicians put in a lot of time.
How about $40,000 a year for City Council members, $5,000 of which pays for governance conferences.
Savings: Probably a wash since many politicians already spend plenty of extra money.
7. Keep water under local control, but get rid of the "middle-man" districts that stand between the Metropolitan Water District and local areas. And make the local districts a little bigger.
Savings: Hard to say, but it would probably be plenty.
8. Raise tuition to $2,000 for junior college, and then give back $2,200 to students who actually finish all their classes. Right now, it's about $500.
Only a quarter of students who are in junior college transfer or achieve an associate's degree within six years, according to a study reported in the Washington Post. Junior colleges every August and January have to hire thousands of teachers. My JC physics class started with 42 students and ended with eight.
Savings: The community college budget is $6 billion, so I would say $500 million is a safe estimate for schools in our county.
Total estimated savings: $930 million

The NLS equation is considered to include higher order dispersion scenario that is quite helpful in accurate modeling of pulse propagation in SSMF .
The generated upstream signal is transmitted back to the CO through SSMF where it is detected by photo detector.
The impact of the FWM effect on the DBPSK signal in the SSMF fibers is shown on Figure 29 and in the NZDSF fibers is shown on figure 30.
SSMF is a three-day music festival which takes it to the street with outdoor live concerts and events which are intended to celebrate the The Strip's vibrant musical legacy and clubs.
Music is just part of our DNA as a brand - and we're pleased to support the next generation of artists through SSMF.
Previously for the detection of the maximum number of loops we were dealing with SSMF span length equal to 50 km.

Celebrating the musical legacy of The Sunset Strip, this year's SSMF will feature a number of The Strip's most legendary clubs and bands.
Besides Fine Arts Camp and SSMF, Sitka is also the site of several other well-known scientific and cultural conferences, such as Whalefest and Paths across the Pacific, and there ate frequent concert offerings from Sitka Folk, another group.
As the optical signal moves along a standard single mode fiber SSMF, it gets attenuated along the fiber and if the data speed is high enough (> 10 Gb/s), it gets distorted due to chromatic and polarization dispersions.
Andaz West Hollywood is the official hotel of SSMF, and offering packages starting from $269 per night including two tickets to SSMF and a copy of a Slash or Smashing Pumpkins album.
It means that without CD compensation the optical signal transmission in our DWDM-PON system over 57 km of SSMF span with BER<[10.

LinkedIn Corp (LNKD), And Some Twitter Thoughts
Published on May 3, 2013 at 10:46 am by The Motley Fool in News
Share Tweet Share Email
The Bureau of Labor Statistics issued a decent employment report for the month of April: The economy added 165,000 jobs, and the unemployment rate dipped to 7.5%. Apparently, that hadn't been discounted in stocks' recent two-day run-up, as the markets are showing solid gains this morning, with the S&P 500 and the narrower, price-weighted Dow Jones Industrial Average up 1% and 0.95%, respectively, at 10:05 a.m. EDT.
The big winners
There are winners and losers among social-networking companies, and the gulf between them is vast — in some cases, it can mean the difference between wild success and extinction. Today, I'm talking about the winners.
Professional networking website LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) reported its first-quarter results yesterday afternoon, blowing past the consensus estimate with earnings per share of $0.45 versus a forecast of $0.30. However, Wall Street's voracious expectations machine wasn't satisfied: The shares are down 8.3%. The reason? Putatively, it's the fact that the company issued revenue guidance for the current quarter that fell below analysts' estimate, although the midpoint of LinkedIn's guidance range was just 4% below the consensus figure.
One headline I saw this morning at the top of Yahoo! Finance summed up the fast-money crowd's disappointment: "LinkedIn's Weak Link." That may be accurate from a trader's perspective, but on a fundamental basis, this company looks to me like it is firing on all cylinders; for example, LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD) raised revenue guidance for 2013 to between $1.43 billion and $1.46 billion.
Image: LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD)
It's difficult to argue for the purchase of the shares based on any traditional valuation metric, but, whether or not the shares are a good buy at current prices, this is clearly a business that is creating tremendous long-term value.
Speaking of winners in social networking, Twitter is the biggest name that has yet to go public, but its days as a private company may be numbered. In hiring Morgan Stanley investment banker Cynthia Gaylor as head of corporate development, the microblogging platform is sending an unmistakable signal that it is gearing up to join the public markets. At Morgan Stanley, Gaylor has worked on transactions on behalf of Facebook, LinkedIn Corp (NYSE:LNKD), and Zynga. Let's hope a Twitter IPO goes more smoothly than Facebook's, which ended up as a reputational black eye for its lead underwriter — Morgan Stanley.
Finally, Twitter got a terrific plug when the Oracle of Omaha himself, Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett, jumped into the conversation with his own account. As he put it in his first tweet:

[ TMS Live Shanghai ] Kirk Kenney - Lofi Banjo Improvisation
[ TMS Live Shanghai ] Kirk Kenney - Lofi Banjo Improvisation Video recorded at The Jungle Studio in Shanghai on 1st October 2021 by Shafoin (Video) and Nick Chow (Audio). Kirk Kenney is an eclectic bilingual musician, who has performed, collaborated, and coordinated tours in over 30 cities in China, at venues small and large, from DDC to the Shanghai Concert Hall to the National Centre for the Performing Arts. Kirk performs solo and collaborates with local and international musicians. He has been awarded grants from the US Department of State and the Ford Foundation, and continues to look for new ways to bring people from around the world together through music and the arts. Kenney's music draws on influences from traditional musics of the Americas, Africa, Central and East Asia, and especially the heartfelt, humorous and honest storytelling of Floridian musician, Gamble Rogers. A self-taught guitarist, Kenney studied horse-head fiddle with Hugjiltu (Ajinai Band), getting more involved in Beijing's underground music scene. He picked up traditional American fiddle after studying and playing with Michael Ismerio, and honed his stage experience playing with bands like the Beijing Alchemists, The Randy Abel Stable, the Ring Road Ramblers, the Hutong Yellow Weasels/the Mountain High, Emerald Rae and Sourpuss. He was invited to perform at master pipa player Dong Nan's camp in Qingdao. Not only a singer and multi-instrumentalist, he has also gone behind the scenes to coordinate tours for the bands Manhu, Jenny and the Hog Drovers, Erynn Marshall and Carl Jones, and Cynthia Sayer and Her Joyride Band. When he's not memorizing lyrics on a train, doing yoga, or learning how to brew a good espresso, he likes to walk around Shanghai's ex-French Concession, admiring old buildings and trees.

I-Dollar-Tree
by FC2USER076434GVD
What do you think of when you hear the word 'idolatry'? A golden calf? Yoga? Worship of the sun, moon, and stars? What about "the almighty dollar?" It's shocking how many Christians proclaim that "money makes the world go round", at the same time they claim to worship a God who supposedly created this planet and all the life in it. If you want to break away from the I-Dollar-Tree, this video will give the axe you need to start chopping at the root of all evil.
