Commentary has mentioned a time or two before the escalating congestion down the street at I-10 and Studemont/Studewood and I-10 at Heights/Yale. It is a growing mess thanks to the development around the new Walmart and the new Kroger on Studewood/Studemont and the I-10 shoulder work. It is very frustrating. A lot of times I end up having to snake around and get across I-10 and Taylor. On a related note, Commentary got sent an email from a Heights resident to certain H-Town Council Members. Check this:
I am a resident of the Heights and want to share a concern I have with traffic in the neighborhood. Traffic on Heights and Yale close to I-10 intersection has become very congested and has begun to back up north to White Oak and South to the rail road tracks. I realize the Shepherd/I-10 construction may be flowing over, but it has become ridiculous at times and is causing more traffic in the neighborhood with people cutting through for shorter routes. Additionally, we use the trails in the neighborhood and take my child for bike rides and have to deal with vehicles speeding down Yale.
Can you tell me what the city if doing about these issues as I am sure it is not the first time it has been raised? I see a lot of neighborhood development and as result increased home values, but no further investment other than paved roads on Yale. Much of this has also been a result of the development on Yale south of I-10, but I see no increased infrastructure to handle the traffic – why? With regard to speeding vehicles on Yale – are any more lights planned for this street to slow the speeds down?
Ditto! Of course I think it is only going to get worse.
If you watch TV you probably know that "42" about Jackie Robinson will be at a local theater near you this Friday. Name a Hall of Fame great that also had his numero 42 retired?
The Mayor was on Khambrel's show yesterday. She did OK.
Foreign affairs experts are trying to figure out what the North Korean leader is up to. Well we know he's a big fan of the NBA. I wonder if they have considered offering him courtside seats to Lakers games in exchange for his nukes.
They gave out commemorative baseballs at The Yard this past Saturday night after the game. They don't hand them out on the way in if you know what I mean. The commemorative balls look a bit cheesy.
Commentary snagged foul balls numero 2 and 3 Saturday night. I handed them off to a couple of kids – drats!
The team is on a nine game West Coast roadie.
San Luis retired Hall of Fame great Bruce Sutter's numero 42 a few years ago of course.
The 'Stros are not a good team today. The weekend attendance stunk. They strike out too many times. Carter is hitting .091, Wallace is at .059, and Ankiel is at .083. Wallace needs to find his game or he may be Oklahoma City bound. We are 1-5 and so are the Fish, Brewers, Bucs, and Padres. If we don't become a more interesting team I don't see attendance improving when we get home.

I'm not talking about the College of Cardinals.
I'm also not talking about the supporters of Chuck Hagel for Defense Secretary.
I'm also not talking about immigration reform and The DREAM Act.
I'm also not talking about supporters of casino gambling in the Lone Star State.
I'm talking about 'Stros fans that want the team to cut concession prices to match the cut in team payroll.
Name the 'Stro that has grounded into the most double plays all time?
H-Town City Council races are starting to heat up and of course partisan politics play a role in district races. If you run in a Dem district, you better not play footsies with the GOP and vice versa. That's the way it has been for a while. There is really no getting around this so watch out and let's start weeding out the pretenders.
It looks like the mail is starting to hit in the SD6 Special.
Someone said the other day and after the last night that The President was pushing a progressive agenda like same sex marrriage, guns, immigration reform and so on. Well that's what the country voted for and that's where the country is at.
Baggy of course leads the 'Stros in grounding into DPs with 221 all time.
I guess every team needs a closer. Here is from the 'Stros website:
The Astros aren't saying (Jose) Veras will be their closer to start the year, but he's certainly the leading candidate after considering the lack of experience in the Houston bullpen. Veras has pitched in 327 big league games, but has only five saves with a 4.01 ERA.
We deserve a vote!

Turkey of the Year?

I'm betting most members of the H-Town City Council aren't too happy about Council being named Turkey of the Year by the Houston Press. The Press gave them the dishonor because of issues related to CM Helena Brown, food trucks, and the revised noise and feeding the homeless ordinances. I don't know about giving the entire Council the bad rap.
Check out the dishonor here.
The Chron E-Board wants to do away with straight ticket voting for judges. Good luck!
Here is their take that ran yesterday.
I wonder how they want it to work. Do they leave the R and D next to the candidates' name and just take judicial races off of the straight ticket grid and force people to go down the list and mark off what they wanted to do in the first place. Do you let the party primaries nominate and don't put an R or D next to their name so the partisans will just have to study up or take a party slate card with them to go vote?
We don't have a great system but I'd rather leave it up to the political parties to select their best judicial candidates and hopes it all works out on Election Day.
AP's Russell Contreras put out a piece this past weekend about JFK's last night in H-Town at the Rice and what it meant to Latinos back then.
Name the MLB club that produced the most Cy Young Award winners for 1980 through 1989?
Salon.com has a piece today on how it won't be that easy for the GOP to start winning more Latino votes.
I couldn't agree more with the piece. When you demonize a part of our community like they've been doing for the last four years or so ala Gov. Jan Brewer, you get payback at the polls.
Living rooms across H-Town erupted mid-afternoon on Thanksgiving Day when the Texans won in OT. There were knuckle bumps galore in Baytown at my parents' house. We caught a good break for sure when the red challenge flag came out at the wrong time. Once again I thought we were goners.
From the gift that keeps giving department from The President's Annual Turkey Pardon ceremony:
"They say that life is all about second chances," Obama said to laughter, his daughters, Sasha and Malia at his side. "And this November, I could not agree more. So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give, and it goes to a pair of turkeys named Cobbler and Gobbler."
Yuk, yuk, yuk! More from the ceremony:
"For the first time in our history, the winners of the White House turkey pardon were chosen through a highly competitive online vote. And once again, Nate Silver completely nailed it," Obama said. "The guy's amazing. He predicted these guys would win."
I saw a photo this past week showing Romney putting gas in his ride just like those of the 47% that have rides.
Phillies pitchers snagged four NL Cy Young Awards in the eighties of course: Steve Carlton (1980 and 1982), John Denny (remember him? 1983), and closer Steve Bedrosian (1987).
I don't have anything from The Yard today.

GOP's Fraud

Commentary has said before that it was never about voter fraud at the polls. I'm talking about the BS GOP promoting their voter I.D. bills. It has always been about making it harder for Latinos and others to cast votes. It has been about putting up barriers at the polls. Burkablog points out today a Washington Post article about a review of voter fraud in the U.S. of A. Here is from the Post piece:
The analysis of 2,068 reported fraud cases by News21, a Carnegie-Knight investigative reporting project, found 10 cases of alleged in-person voter impersonation since 2000. With 146 million registered voters in the United States, those represent about one for every 15 million prospective voters.
Here is the entire Post article.
Here is what Burkablog says:
Fraud by impersonation is a myth, perpetuated by Republicans to justify Voter I.D. laws that suppress turnout. You'll never convince me otherwise. It's one of the worst things that has happened to American democracy.
Here is all of Burkablog.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, GOP! Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) the Latino vote is going to take a hunk out of your arse. Hopefully it will happen this year in Colorado, Nevada, and New Mexico.
Yesterday Commentary mentioned the five seasons (1994-1999) the 'Stros wore the Blue and Gold Star uniforms. How many winning seasons did the 'Stros have wearing the Blue and Gold Star uniforms?
I lifted this from Politico that lifted it from the Boston Globe today:
Both (Rupert) Murdoch and (NY Mayor Michael) Bloomberg said they were mystified that Romney hasn't done more to reach out to Latino voters by outlining plans to ease immigration
"Give them a path to citizenship," Murdoch said. "They pay taxes. They are hard-working people. Why Mitt Romney doesn't do it, I have no idea because they are naturally Republicans."
Bloomberg added: "The Republicans walking away from the Latino community is about as dumb a strategy as any political party has ever adopted. "
You can say that again and again!
Meanwhile the process for DREAMERs begins today! Si se puede!
My pal Gary Polland in his latest Texas Conservative Review opposes the HISD bonds. Well at least the HISD Bonds Campaign won't have to spend a ton of money buying ads in Gary's campaign special edition mailer. Here is part of what Gary says:
Congratulations to Greg Meyers, the only school board member with enough common sense to agree HISD should earn the voters trust first before asking for the whole enchilada. Voters should take a look at this stinker and vote NO, so HISD can have a reality check and do their planning in stages. Remember, it is always good to learn to walk before one runs.
Gary also lets us know what is going on behind the scenes at the local Dem Party. Here is what he says:
This hasn't made the local media yet, but former Democratic Chair Gerald Birnberg has made a complaint designed to remove Democratic "accidental" District Attorney candidate Lloyd Oliver from the ballot. This is an interesting development.
TCR wonders, do the D's intend to remove and replace with a handpicked star who they think could take advantage of the nasty GOP primary battle between incumbent Pat Lykos and successful primary challenger Mike Anderson? Do the Democrats think that they can convince enough swing and Lykos loyalists to vote their way, and win a tight battle? Maybe it's time for the Anderson group to smoke the peace pipe with District Attorney Lykos and her supporters.
I sure am glad Gary is around to let me know what the local Dem Party is up to.
Former H-Town CM Peter Brown addressed City Council yesterday to complain about the City-County-METRO GMPs deal that was cut the other day. However, former CM Brown wouldn't call it a deal – got it!
Julianna Margulies from "The Good Wife" is one of Commentary's favorite TV actresses. I'm adding Emily Mortimer from "The Newsroom" to the list.
All five of the Blue and Gold Star uniform seasons were winning seasons of course (66-49 in '94, 76-68 in '95, 82-80 in '96, 84-78 in '97, 102-60 in '98, and 97-65 in '99).
The GM sent us an email yesterday thanking us for hanging in there and 'splaining why we're doing lousy and how we are going to get better. He didn't need to 'splain why we're not winning – no hitting, no pitching, lousy base running, missing the cutoff man, lousy fielding, mental mistakes, and lousy ballplayers). I'd much rather get an email from him this morning 'splaining how in the heck we scored 10 runs last night that included a pair of three run dingers.

The Politics of BBWA

My pal Rusty Hardin said this yesterday right after the verdict:
"I hope those in the public who made up their minds before there was a trial will now back up and entertain the possibility of what he has always said – using steroids and HGH is cheating and it was totally contrary to his entire career."
Rusty wasn't talking to me and he wasn't talking to you. He was addressing the voting members of the Baseball Writers of America (BBWA), The Rocket's next jury. This December the members of the BBWA will decide if The Rocket, Barry, Barry, Sammy Sosa, B-G-O, and others make it into the Baseball Hall of Fame. If The Rocket doesn't get the minimum 75% of the BBWA vote it will be because enough BBWA voters think he was on 'roids.
Here is a sampling of sorts of BBWA voters from stories today from my pal Jose de Jesus Ortiz and the AP:
"Roger Clemens is one of the greatest right-handers in baseball history," said USA Today baseball columnist Bob Nightengale, who is credited with being the first writer to address the steroid problem in baseball. "He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. And I believe today's verdict will get him to Cooperstown on the first ballot." "I will vote him to the Hall of Fame on the first ballot; the same with Barry Bonds; the same with Sammy Sosa," Nightengale said. "The trouble is that it was almost a level playing field during the steroid era. If Clemens was pitching on steroids, he was facing hitters on steroids.
"Both Clemens and Bonds perplex me," said former New York Times baseball columnist Claire Smith, who has voted for the Hall of Fame since 1993. "Have always considered them HOFers prior to the madness. But HOFers have asked, 'How do I know which numbers are clean and which are tainted?' "Truth be told, I don't. No one but those two know. Such a dilemma. Don't know yet what I will do."
"I'm not so sure this makes him a shoo-in on my ballot, but I haven't ruled him out," said Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune. "But a guilty verdict would have sealed his fate for me. I still have time to digest this."
Former BBWAA president Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer didn't need a jury to help him with his decision. "I wasn't going to vote for him anyway, so this won't affect it," said Hoynes, who is in his 30th year covering the majors. "I just think he's guilty. I don't care what the court said. I think he did it. I think he knew he was cheating, and I'm not voting for him."
"I think everybody believes he was guilty in some form or fashion," said John Harper of the New York Daily News, who doesn't plan to vote for Clemens. "I think that's the real issue as far as voters go. I know that's an issue for me."
ESPN reporter/analyst Tim Kurkjian, a Hall voter for more than two decades, said: "It doesn't change how I view him. I think he did something and they just couldn't prove it. I think most rational people look at it that way. I was going to vote for him anyway."
"To me, Roger Clemens was a Hall of Famer from the moment he retired, just like Barry Bonds," San Francisco Chronicle columnist Bruce Jenkins said. "I don't much care for them as people, but that's irrelevant, and I've never believed in the Hall of Fame's 'character' clause. It never seemed to apply to a number of shady characters who made the Hall of Fame over the years, so I simply ignore it. I base my vote on the best players during their time. Cheating has been part of the game since its inception, whether it was gambling, doctored balls or pre-steroid drugs. It's as essential to the game's fabric as the sacrifice fly."
That's 3 for, 2 against, and 2 undecided. So that gives him 43% – not enough.
Yesterday's jury kept him out of jail and tomorrow's jury will decide his Hall of Fame status.
The BBWA for the most part doesn't give a rat's arse about yesterday's jury verdict or what Rusty has to say. The will talk to each other and/or their sources like players, managers, coaches, former players, and front office folks before they make up their minds if they haven't already.
Here is the other matter they will probably consider. How does it look if they vote The Rocket in and don't give Barry, Barry a hall pass? Now that would certainly spark a lively discussion about race in baseball that the Commissioner and BBWA don't want on their plates.
How many times did The Rocket win 20 or more games in a season?
This is why some folks are turned off by politics. Check this from the Chron:
An advocacy group formed by Houston-area real estate developers threatened Monday to seek help from the Legislature if the transit agency asks voters to cap the payments that help Harris County and area cities improve roads and bridges.
If voters approve a referendum that caps general mobility payments, Houstonians for Responsible Growth will lobby state lawmakers to get the city of Houston's money back, (Joshua) Sander said.
Here is the entire story.
So if we have a campaign and Joshua's side loses fair and square, his group is going to the legislature to ask the legislature to overturn the results – right? I wonder if Joshua understands how silly he sounds. And so goes the GMPs debate.
My good buddy Kyle's mug was seen throughout the game last night on the tube thanks to his third row seats behind the plate.
The Rocket won 20 games or more six different seasons during his career: 1986 (24), 1987 (20), 1990 (21), 1997 (21), 1998 (20), and 2001 (20).
It looks like The Yard is receiving a makeover of sorts in left center field.
I don't care how ugly the win was last night. A win is a win.

Pardon me but cut me some slack for having a Tiger and 'Stros hangover this morning – sadly pitiful, but I'll still hang with them!
Sir Paul is 70 today!
Wah, wah, wah! That's all I heard this weekend from right wing GOPers after they got caught off guard by The President on providing the DREAMERS some relief. Some far righties called The President "craven". (Commentary never uses the word "craven" but I do use "crave" as in have an urge for something so I had to look up "craven" and it means cowardly.)
What I kept hearing this weekend was that The President went around Congress and "usurped" his authority. The "usurp" stuff is totally ridiculous and bogus. The going around Congress is probably true because the GOP is not interested in immigration reform or helping out the DREAMERS period. They're not, they're not, they're not!
Mitt Romney and others banged up Guv Dude last year on the so called Texas DREAM Act. They scored DREAMER points at Dude's expense. At some point you have to say YA BASTA and that is exactly what The President did.
It was interesting to see that Romney didn't rant and rave like Ted Cruz and the Lite Guv.
Here is from an article this past weekend:
Romney's mild response reflects the political tightrope he is walking on the issue of immigration. During the Republican primary contest, he positioned himself as the most conservative candidate in the field on illegal immigration, slamming Texas Gov. Rick Perry for allowing in-state college tuition for illegal immigrant students and recommending "self-deportation" for millions of people living illegally in the U.S.
The President and Romney will address NALEO later on this week. I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that The President will get a better response from NALEO members. SI SE PUEDE!
I kind of thought this kind of stuff didn't happen in these parts these days. This is what the Chron E-Board had to say (with photos) this past Saturday:
In various Harris County Precinct 4 parks, official signs on official sign posts declare "No piñatas allowed on park grounds" and "No confetti eggs in park."
Well actually the confetti eggs are called "cascarones". Maybe the new County Commissioner will put up some better worded signs.
Check out the entire E-Board piece here.
The Chron had a story Saturday on former 'Stro Jason Lane who now plays down the road at Skeeter Stadium.
The Nationals designated Lights Out for assignment yesterday meaning he's not in the bigs today. How many 2005 World Serious 'Stros are currently on a MLB roster?
Commentary has been talking about possible bond campaigns this fall here in H-Town. The Chron today has a piece today on what could be HISD's whopping $1.8 billion in bonds campaign.
Stay tuned for more on this one!
The Chron E-Board had a take on pensions yesterday.
There was also a front page story on pensions yesterday and check it out here.
Now I know that the pension groups have their constituencies to fight off attempts to mess with them. What is the constituency of those that want "reform" and are they getting engaged?
Four of the 2005 World Serious 'Stros of course are currently on a MLB roster: Wandy, The Big Puma (on the DL in San Luis), Andy Pettitte (Yankees), and Chad Qualls (Phillies).
Former 2005 World Serious 'Stro reliever Dan Wheeler was designated for assignment by the Tribe last month.
While watching the 'Stros, I was thinking about the new uniforms that the team plans to unveil after this season. I wondered if I would buy the new lid or lids. I looked over to my active lid wear and here's what I have: the orange, gold star blue, gold star blue batting practice mesh, blue with orange star, brick red, brick red World Serious logo, black/brick red batting practice mesh, Colt 45s, white/brick red mesh, black open star, black open star Old Yankee Stadium All Star Game logo, black open star 2000 Opening Day, patriotic red open star, and patriotic blue open star. I think I'm plenty lid up.
The 'Stros are at The Yard for a ten game homie against the Royals, Tribe, and Padres. I don't expect much of a crowd for the Royals this week. The Tribe might bring in some folks this weekend since they are in second in the AL Central and B-G-O bobbleheads will be handed out Friday. The Padres have the second worst record in the MLB so figure on a light to sparse crowd next week. Hope we can make up some ground because being 11 ½ games out stinks.

First of all Happy Birthday today to my good friend HISD Trustee Anna Eastman!
A couple of years ago or so I think it was GOP State Rep. Leo Berman that said something like if we create a path to citizenship for those that were undocumented then those same folks would just turn out to be Democratic Party voters. Check out today's NY Times editorial titled "A Dream Act without the Dream." Here is how it starts:
Republican politicians have overwhelmingly embraced an approach to immigration reform that offers only misery, arrest and punishment to the undocumented. That is popular with party's hard-right base, but toxic with Hispanic voters — which has led some Republicans to come up with proposals that seem to shimmer with promise but lead to the same no-future dead end.
Here is the entire editorial.
The DREAMERS are pretty politically sophisticated folks. Heck, why do you think this issue rings loudly in the Latino community and elsewhere. Heck, why do you think this issue is in today's editorial page of arguably the world's most prestigious newspaper. Heck, why do you think the GOP has to counter the pushback from Latino voters by floating a bogus proposal that says DREAMERS can stay but they'll never have a shot at CITIZENSHIP. Heck, why do you think Jeb Bush said in Arlington, Texas the other day that the GOP is missing out on the Latino vote.
This GOP proposal is going nowhere and you know why? It's because The DREAMERS are doing a great job!
Speaking of dreamers, Newt Gingrich was forced to lay-off a third of his campaign staff yesterday and fired his campaign manager but Newt is still in the race.
Coming into the 2012 MLB season, Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners had 2,428 career base hits in 11 seasons – wow! Where does that put him on the career base hits list among active players?
H-Town CM Jerry Davis wore a hoodie to the City Council meeting yesterday to show support for Trayvon Martin.
Check out the Chron story here.
Talk about manufacturing hate! Check out this from an AP story yesterday:
The leading national organization opposing same-sex marriage has sought to split the Democratic Party base by pitting African-Americans and Hispanics against gay-rights groups, according to confidential strategy memos made public by court officials in Maine.
"The strategic goal of this project is to drive a wedge between gays and blacks — two key Democratic constituencies," says one of the memos. It also suggests "interrupting" the process of cultural assimilation for Hispanics in hopes of curtailing support for same-sex marriage.
The documents, dating from 2009, were written by the National Organization for Marriage and had been kept from the public until Monday, when they were unsealed by court officials in Maine.
Here is the entire AP story.
Commentary is never going to buy into the BS that my community doesn't support equality. Why do you think the Pope didn't drop into DF last week?
Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners with 2,428 career base hits ranks 9th of course on the list of active players and 106th all time. In case you haven't heard, the MLB season opened last night in Tokyo with the Mariners beating the A's 3-1 with Ichiro going 4 for 5 so that puts him at 2,432 career base hits.
The Yard reports that Wandy will be the Opening Day starting pitcher.

Helmets are mandatory and toques are optional at the Winter Classic minor hockey jamboree at Apex which begins Thursday. Mark Brett/Western News
Winter Classic charity hockey returns to Apex
Teams raising money for B.C. Children's Hospital are from Penticton, Kelowna and the Lower Mainland
Mark Brett
Six minor hockey teams will do battle outside this week at the fifth annual B.C. Children's Hospital Foundation Winter Classic Charity Jamboree at Apex Mountain Resort.
But there will be much more on the line than the trophy again this year, with all the proceeds of the four-day event going to the foundation.
"Everyone has someone that they know, whether it's family, neighbours or just someone in the community, that has sick kids," said tourney organizer and founder, Yannick Lescarbeau, who has contributed over $77,000 to the foundation in the last four years. "I know someone personally that went through it and needed the cure.
"In essence we are lucky to have healthy kids who are able to play hockey, so it's just a way of teaching the healthy kids that you have to give back and you also have to think of the kids who can't play."
Every year since the event started has been better than the last in terms of money raised, last January's event brought in over $26,000 and Lescarbeau is expecting the same thing to happen again this time around.
"It becomes almost a challenge for the kids to raise more and more and what I've found over the years is once teams are registered in our tournament, they ask how much was raised last year," he said. "It's a multi-level kind of exercise, we teach kids to be good citizens and make them work and empower them to go out and raise money and then we donate the money to people who need it."

Once again, there are six teams (players aged nine and 10) including two from Penticton and one from Kelowna, competing in the games which got underway Thursday.
Fittingly, like the description of many of the kids they are playing to help, the two divisions, comprised of about 120 players, are named Courage and Bravery.
The other three teams are from Victoria, the North Shore Winter Club and Vancouver.
Growing up in Quebec City, Lescarbeau played most of his hockey on outdoor ice surfaces and when he first organized the event, thought it would be fun for many of the players who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the same thing.
"There were rinks everywhere, you'd meet there and you didn't know who was going to be there. Sometimes there were kids your age, older kids, younger kids and everyone played together, same game, same goal, same feeling. It was awesome," he recalled. "Playing outdoors at Apex with frozen toes and snow on your face doesn't get better than that. And to do it for children in needs makes it that much better."
At last year's tournament, the weather ranged from freezing rain, lots of snow and darkness, all of which made the experience "awesome" according to Lescarbeau.
Round robin play goes Thursday evening to Saturday morning with playoffs starting after that and wrapping up Sunday.

Las relaciones entre El Salvador y Estados Unidos se remontan al 15 de junio de 1863, cuando los Estados Unidos de América estableció relaciones diplomáticas con la República de El Salvador luego de la Independencia de esta última de España y la posterior disolución de las Provincias Unidas del Centro de América.

Según el Informe de Liderazgo Global de Estados Unidos de 2012, el 55% de los salvadoreños aprueban el liderazgo de Estados Unidos, con un 19% de desaprobación y 26% de incertidumbre, la cuarta calificación más alta para cualquier país encuestado en las Américas.

Historia
La historia de las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y El Salvador datan desde 1863 y abarca algunos movimientos y operaciones polémicas por parte de los Estados Unidos en la guerra civil salvadoreña Y la injerencia en las elecciones salvadoreñas, como durante la elección presidencial salvadoreña (2004).

El 10 de junio de 2014, UNICEF informó de un aumento significativo en el número de niños salvadoreños no acompañados que buscan ingresar a los Estados Unidos sin sus padres:
Según las estadísticas del Gobierno de Estados Unidos, más de 47.000 niños no acompañados han sido detenidos en la frontera suroeste de Estados Unidos durante los últimos ocho meses, casi el doble del número de niños detenidos entre octubre de 2012 y septiembre de 2013. El Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados estima que al menos 10.000 Otros niños intentarán ingresar a los Estados Unidos sin sus padres antes de finales de septiembre.

Presente

Las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y El Salvador se mantienen cercanas y fuertes. La política de los Estados Unidos hacia el país promueve el fortalecimiento de las instituciones democráticas de El Salvador, el estado de derecho, la reforma judicial y la policía civil; Reconciliación nacional y reconstrucción; Y oportunidades económicas y crecimiento. El Salvador ha sido un miembro comprometido de la coalición de naciones que lucha contra el terrorismo y ha enviado 10 rotaciones de tropas al Irak para apoyar la Operación Libertad Iraquí.

Los lazos de los Estados Unidos con El Salvador son dinámicos y crecen. Más de 19,000 ciudadanos estadounidenses viven y trabajan a tiempo completo en El Salvador. La mayoría son empresarios privados y sus familias, pero un pequeño número de jubilados ciudadanos estadounidenses han sido atraídos a El Salvador por condiciones favorables. La sección consular de la Embajada ofrece una gama completa de servicios de ciudadanía a esta comunidad.

La embajada de los EUA en San Salvador se localiza en Antiguo Cuscatlán.

They don't have the fanatic fan base of the Beatles or the Stones, they don't have the drugaddled psychodrama of the Doors, and except for the widely remixed "December, 1963," their songs (unlike those of, say, Neil Diamond or ABBA) have failed to transcend the oldies genre to appeal to younger generations.

It's not a task that everyone is confident carrying out, let along enjoy it. With a microphone thrust into your hand it's easy to see why people get nervous, all of a sudden you are the centre of attention. At least, that's the aim anyway.
As with most things in life, preparation is key to success. Knowing what you want to say is the first part of the battle. If it's a speech, having key points written down will provide you with useful reminders. As they say, proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance. Timing can be important as well, especially for comedy.
Using a microphone can be daunting for some people. But a microphone can be a useful too, they allow everyone in the room to hear you if setup and used properly. Although sometimes thatmaynot be a good thing if the jokes are that bad. Knowing how to use a microphone is a skill that most poepl think they have, but in reality lack. How many people do you hear banging on the microphone to see if it works? It's one of my pet hates as this can damage a microphone.
My microphones generally work best when held approx 5-10cm (2-4") from your mouth.
Probably one of the best tips I can think of would be to speak clearly, slowly and with confidence. Probably one of those things in life which is easier said than done for most people.

UNANSWERED PRAYERS is philosophically inspired by Charles Ives' "Unanswered Question." In the case of Ives, he suggests that some questions are best left unanswered.

Living with Allergies
Go to eBook
Authored by: Paul M. Ehrlich, M.D., with Elizabeth Shimer Bowers
From the Series: Teen's Guides
Allergies are fairly common, affecting more than 60 million Americans, or about 1 in 5 people. When people experience an allergic reaction to something, their immune system thinks the substance—for instance, food, dust, pollen, or medicines—is harmful to the body. In response, it sends off a false alarm in the form of an allergic reaction, which may occur in the eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or intestinal tract. Milder reactions come in the form of slightly itchy eyes, a runny nose, itchy throat, or other uncomfortable symptoms. Severe allergic reactions, on the other hand, can be life threatening. Although there is no medication that can cure allergies, there are many effective treatments available to control them.
This accessible new guide provides all the information teens need to understand allergies and their impact on daily life. Loaded with helpful sidebars, appendixes, and real-life cases, this straightforward resource is sure to be useful for teens coping with allergies.

A clinical study on pollinosis in a Japanese rural area.
Kato E
Proceedings of the VII International Congress of Rural Medicine, September 17-21, Salt Lake City, Utah. International Association of Agricultural Medicine, 1978 Sep; :84-87
In response to a large number of patients visiting the hospital with seasonal rhinitis, a study of pollinosis was begun in the rural areas of Japan. Vegetation in these areas was more varied and in greater quantities than in an urban settings. Nagano Prefecture, where the study was conducted, is a tableland in the middle of the main island of Japan. It has a deciduous and broad leaf tree zone. A chronology of airborne pollen was established and an intradermal test was also begun to discover which dusts were allergens among the pollinosis patients at the allergy department of the hospital. Specific immunoglobulin-E antibodies were examined whenever practical. The incidence of allergic rhinitis was high among individuals aged 20 to 40 years. Incidences were concentrated during March through October, with two peaks occurring during this period. Particular problems were associated with Japanese cedar, birch, oak, and walnut trees. Studies are not yet complete of alder, white mulberry and zelcova trees. Orchard grass was the most important allergen in the Gramineae family. The most important allergen of the weeds was common mugwort. Special findings in tests of walnut pollinosis, apple pollinosis, orchard grass pollinosis, short ragweed pollinosis, and common mugwort pollinosis were presented. In the extreme cases, pollinosis becomes an occupational allergy.

Badge: On a Field Blue. an arm in armour holding a lance proper, between two lotus flowers Silver, over wavelets gold and green.
This the first ship to carry the name HMS Leander was a fourth rate, 52-gun, ship. It was built at Chatham Dockyard, launched 01-Jul-1780, 146ft long, 40ft 6in wide and of 1,044 tons. It won the Battle Honour: Nile 1798.
The name Leander comes from the Greek myth: Hero and Leander. The myth is about the story of Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite (the goodess of love) who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont (today's Dardanelles), and Leander, a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait. Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to be with her. Hero would light a lamp at the top of her tower to guide his way.
Succumbing to Leander's soft words and to his argument that Aphrodite, as the goddess of love, would scorn the worship of a virgin, Hero allowed him to make love to her. These trysts lasted through the warm summer. But one stormy winter night, the waves tossed Leander in the sea and the breezes blew out Hero's light; Leander lost his way and was drowned. When Hero saw his dead body, she threw herself over the edge of the tower to her death to be with him.
TS Leander became its own unit in 1960.
Why name your power boats Hero and Walrus? Hero relates to the story of 'Hero and Leander' (as mentioned above), and Walrus is a type of sea plane that H.M.N.Z.S. Leander (The 5th Leander) carried on-board for reconnaissance operations.


I've been working on a project creating the light-touch task sequences in Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2012 to deploy Microsoft Windows 7 to bank branches using offline stand-alone media. Recently we noticed that three of the thirteen Dell notebooks weren't prompting the on-site technician to hit the F10 button after the PowerShell script ran and rebooted to clear the TPM chip owner information. We were also noticing BitLocker wasn't being enabled. When you remotely (via script, PowerShell, etc) modify the TPM chip on Dell machines it prompts you at the BIOS screen on reboot to acknowledge a planned change was made to the TPM chip. This is so malware can't clear out your TPM ownership and make your machine unbootable until you find the recovery key. It's a pain in the rear but I understand why Dell does this.
In comparing the three notebooks that weren't working properly to the ten notebooks that were working properly there were some common results seen in both groups.
I also noticed when trying to query for data via WMI to rootcimv2SecurityMicrosoftTpmX nothing was being returned.
I was also getting an error when running the PowerShell script.
Testing I uninstalled the Broadcom TPM device including the Broadcom drivers and refreshed Device Manager. At that time it installed the Broadcom TPM device using the Microsoft drivers and it listed Broadcom Trusted Platform Module X under Security Devices. I was then able to start the TPM Base Services. When I ran the PowerShell script no errors were generated.
I deleted the Dell Driver Packs for those three notebooks in ConfigMgr and imported them again NOT including the Broadcom TPM drivers. After imaging those three notebooks they now use the Microsoft drivers for the Broadcom TPM chip. That allows the TPM Base Services to start allowing the PowerShell script to run. They now prompt for the F10 to acknowledge changes have been made to the TPM chip and BitLocker works!
I've been hearing about a lot of problems in Microsoft Exchange 2010 and above right after Apple rolled out iOS 6.1. Below is the text from Apple's support site and a link directly to the page.
When you respond to an exception to a recurring calendar event with a Microsoft Exchange account on a device running iOS 6.1, the device may begin to generate excessive communication with Microsoft Exchange Server. You may notice increased network activity or reduced battery life on the iOS device. This extra network activity will be shown in the logs on Exchange Server and it may lead to the server blocking the iOS device. This can occur with iOS 6.1 and Microsoft Exchange 2010 SP1 or later, or Microsoft Exchange Online (Office365).
* An exception is a change to a single instance of a repeating calendar event.
Apple has identified a fix and will make it available in an upcoming software update. In the meantime, you can avoid this bug by not responding to an exception to a recurring event on your iOS device. If you do experience the symptoms described above, disable then reenable the Exchange calendar on your iOS device using the steps below.
2.Select the Exchange account from your Accounts list.
3.Turn the switch for Calendars to OFF.
5.Turn the switch for Calendars back to ON.
Windows Server 2012 has tons of new and great features built into it. One of my favorites is the ability to move a guest virtual machine from one Hyper-V server to another with no downtime. I'm not talking a cluster here but actually moving an entire guest VM from one physical server's local disk to another physical server's local disk over the network without using any shared storage!
In this example I'm going to move a VM named DC01(my domain controller) from Host1 to Host2. What Hyper-V does is copy over the VHDX from Host1 to Host2 while It's still online, copy over the change files , then makes the switch from Host1 to Host2 instantly.
Right click the VM DC01 on Host1 and choose move.
In this example I want to move the entire VM from one Hyper-V server to another so I'll choose move the virtual machine. If I just wanted to move the storage I would choose the other option.
I want to just move it using the defaults so I'll choose move the virtual machine's data to a single location.
I'm going to browse and choose the destination folder.
The move begins without taking DC1 down or off-line. You'll see in the screenshots below the progress of moving the 10GB VHDX. The percentage gauge is not accurate. You'll see how it's still 9% when 9GB has been transferred.
The amount of time it takes DC01 to go off-line on Host1 and on-line on Host2 is pretty darn fast. Please ignore the response time while it's being moved. Since this is my budget friendly personal lab I'm not using best practices as in multiple NICs for now. I'm also still running a 100MEG LAN. I plan on upgrading soon. After the VM is running on Host2 my response times are back to "normal".
All of that and just missing one single ping. Not bad if you ask me.
Always remember when introducing new servers and workstations into an environment to review the anti-virus exclusions for that server or workstation. You don't want your AV software scanning VHDs, Cluster Shared Volumes, SQL databases, Exchange databases, and files like those. It's really easy to roll out a new server and not take the time to exclude certain files, folders, and processes.
I recommend having anti-virus on ALL workstations and servers following best practices in regards to exclusions. Microsoft even recommends certain exclusions for all Windows based systems. I also strongly recommend having different av groups each with different exclusions based on the role of the server. I've seen too many times where there is a single av policy with exclusions for hyper-v, clustering, SQL, Exchange, AD, and things like that in a single policy. You can do too much excluding also. An example of this is excluding the windows folder and it's sub folders.
Below is a great page that has tons a links to official and unofficial Microsoft recommendations for anti-virus exclusions.
I vaguely remember a few years ago Microsoft's stance was no file-based antivirus software on any "firewall" product. The reason was the more software you have on an edge product the more exploits are available. I can't remember if I heard that online, from someone, or at the Forefront Airlift. Either way Microsoft's stance today is file-based antivirus on Forefront Edge products are OK as long as the exclusions are followed.


Inspired by classic top-down racers (Super Cars II, Super Sprint, Micro Machines and Death Rally to name a few) Roadclub is our evolution of this retro racer genre.
Roadclub is currently in Steam Early Access (Buy now!) and will be released in 2018.
Please show your support by sending us feedback, sharing the game with your friends. Please consider buying Roadclub for the suggested price or less if you like it. It will make it possible for us to complete Roadclub and make it the best damn retro racer ever (BDRRE)!
Hardware: A computer not too old (6-7 years?) with a decent graphics card.
Graphics: Newer intel cards should be fine and almost anything from Nvidia and AMD should work. Let us know if it doesn't.
DirectX: Version 9 June 2010 runtime.
Solid Core is a game development team consisting of Benny Samuelsson and his good friend Ralf Öhlund from Sweden. We make awesome games with some help from our friends and family. So far in classic 2D genres.
Nice game good job! Top down racers still have life in them! Reminds me of Supercars if your old enough to remember it. Would like to have more cars in a race though.
(wow did not get a notification from itch that someone commented) Thanks! Due to tons of limitations of the engine and UI we're limited to 6 for this game for a while yet. But we're considering it.
Sorry to hear that. We don't officially support XP but it has run on it before. Any error messages you can provide? If you send us your sessionlog.log file in Documents/My games/Roadclub we could also take a look at that to see what's going on. Please e-mail us any error messages you get and the log-file above at contact@solidcore.se if you'd like to help us fix the problem. Thank you!
Glad you like it! More content is on the way. The game is also greenlit on Steam so its heading that way too.


After the ravages of World War II, London seemed an unlikely choice to host the Olympic Games, but as Antwerp had done in 1920, London hosted an austere Olympics, and it has been written that "London saved the Olympic Games." Track & field was held in Wembley Stadium, which sat 83,000 people. The weather was wet and cool throughout most of the competitions, with several of them being held in downpours. The athletics star was a Dutch housewife, Fanny Blankers-Koen. Koen had competed at the 1936 Olympics in the high jump and running on the 4x100 relay team. By the time of the London Olympics, she was 30 years old, but she was the world record holder in the 100 metres, the 80 metre hurdles, high jump, and long jump. She elected to compete in the 100, 200, high hurdles and on the Dutch relay team, and she won gold medals in all four events, sitting out two events in which she was the world record holder. The 1948 Olympics also saw the Olympic début of two of its great stars, Czech runner Emil Zátopek and American decathlete Bob Mathias. Mathias won the decathlon when only 17-years-old, still the youngest man to win an athletics gold medal at the Olympics, while Zátopek won the 10,000 and placed second in the 5,000. They would both be back for more. As would Blankers-Koen, who competed again in 1952, although she was then past her prime and did not win a medal.

Auckland rebounded from their horror loss to Waikato with an emphatic victory over northern neighbours Northland in their ITM Cup match at Eden Park on Thursday, scoring six tries - five though the backs - in desperate conditions.
The hosts scored four tries in the second half to build on the foundation of their 14-7 half-time advantage from converted tries to Hadleigh Parkes and Vince Aso, and the result saw them move level on points with unbeaten Premiership leaders Wellington, who have played one less game. Outgunned Northland, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the second-tier Championship with one win from six games.
Parkes slipped through the tackles of three Northland defenders to give his side an early lead, and a converted try from Aso doubled the margin. Northland, who were hit by the late withdrawal of captain Rene Ranger with his ongoing shoulder injury, hauled themselves back into the match with a try from Mathew Wright on the stroke of half-time. The winger finished a sweeping move that commenced with a turnover 60 metres out, but that was as close as the visitors would get in front of 2711 fans.
George Moala scored for Auckland seven minutes into the second half, and the hosts then put Northland to the sword with five-pointers from Simon Hickey, Lolagi Visinia and Ofa Tuungafasi in the final quarter.
Auckland's victory came at a cost, however, with Aso needing the assistance of two medics to hobble off the pitch late in the first half, and young forwards Joe Edwards and Patrick Tuipulotu departing in the second stanza with respective shoulder and jaw injuries.

Irregular Notes on West End Life
Today's Topic: You Never Know Who You'll Meet
by Rosanne Graef, Past President – West End Neighborhood Association
In early March I received an e-mail from Mitch Mason, Cumberland County 4-H Youth Development Educator with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. The subject line was, "Volunteer Opportunity (fun!)."
Opening a message like that can fill me with trepidation, but this offer was truly worth the click.
Mitch is the leader of the three-year-old Portland High School Humanitarian Assisters 4-H Club. There are 24 members in the club. Their emphasis is on Leadership, Community Service & Assistance, and Workforce Development. Anne Smith of Bright Futures and Glenn Nerbak, Director of Portland Mentor Alliance, help lead the club.
Hanen M., Amy U., Mohammed A. and Mohammed M. Not pictured – Riham A. All are from Iraq, except Amy who is from Rwanda. Favorite 4-H activities include camping at 4-H Camp & Learning Center at Blueberry Cove in St. George, ME, for the girls and participating in the Bullseyes Shooting Sports 4-H Club for the boys.
The fun volunteer opportunity was a chance to be a "kitchen consultant" for a group of five to six 4-H'ers scheduled to be Guest Chefs at Ronald McDonald House on Brackett Street near Maine Medical Center.
Mitch explained that the dinner would be prepared right there in the Ronald McDonald House kitchen, and set out buffet-style at 6 p.m. for the guests of the house.
The role of the kitchen consultant is to help the teens when they have a cooking question, such as what utensil/pan should I use, how should I slice this, is this done yet; as well as making sure they're staying on schedule.
The menu is planned ahead of time by the students, and they have purchased the food. Most of the Portland High 4-H members are from Iraq, Somalia or Central Africa, and they often try to add some home cooking to the meal. They've got kitchen experience, and really need very little supervision.
Now this was sounding like fun!
The menu was chicken and mixed vegetable biryani, ground beef and lamb sambusas and fruit salad.
The ingredients were paid for by US Cellular as part of a 4-H Service Grant. The Humanitarian Assisters have been doing these dinners at RMH for two years and it costs about $125 each time. The funding is totally dependent on random grants, so there's no guarantee that the program will continue each year.
The night I was there, the students were cooking for around 40 guests who are family members of children from all over Maine who are patients at MMC.
The meal preparation went off without a hitch, the 4-H'ers were attentive, efficient and friendly, working well with each other, Mitch, and me, as well as Kent Redford, who had gotten squeezed out of an earlier chance to volunteer and jumped into this group.
The aromas of the cooking food made mouths water and the resulting spread was a colorful feast for the eyes. And it was ready just as guests started to trickle in for dinner.
Current West End Neighborhood Association President Ian Jacob was a kitchen consultant also. He worked with Portland High 4-H members from Iraq, Somalia, Sudan and Congo on April 12th.
Ian says, "My experience was entertaining, instructive, inspiring and satisfying."
I'll second that!
As an added bonus, I ran into Ray Ruby, the former Portland Police Department Youth Services Officer. After several years with the South Portland Boys & Girls Club, he's now the house manager at Ronald McDonald House, enjoying the challenge, contemplating grad school and, who knows, perhaps making another foray into Portland politics.

Sam Mendes Will Still Direct Bond 23, says Mail
He was connected to the project before MGM's financial turmoil, and The Daily Mail hears from his wife Kate Winslet that he's still on board
But Winslet – who separated from Mendes last year, but remains on friendly terms with him – tells The Mail , that she and their children will be moving to London when he starts work on the film, possibly at the end of next year. "Sam is doing the next Bond film, all being well, and we'll all be in England if that happens," she says. "It's such a massive commitment for him and it's not fair for him to commute backwards and forwards to New York from London. It would be impossible. The children will be there with me."
However, she denies that Mendes has found a role for her in the film. Daniel Craig is still expected to star as James Bond.

Charlotte & Mathias had planned every detail of their Wedding to perfection! The first thing I noticed was the colours — Gorgeous burgundy , plums, creams and lush greens, that carried through their venue decor. Everything ran so smoothly, even considering the bride's surprise helicopter entry to the venue, that nobody knew about, except her father! Boomrock was absolutely surreal — extensive ocean views from the cliff tops, with sun beaming through, ending with a beautiful sunset. Gabriel and I have never laughed so much while capturing a wedding, Mathias and Charlotte's friends and family had so many hilarious stories about the couple, and equally as many beautifully romantic ones. Congratulations to these wonderful humans!


Just as in the world of fashion, design trends fluctuate. Certain styles or elements in design are favored throughout time but different unique elements come and go. Some popular trends from 2014 included Geo Wire Logos, Motion Logos, and Transparent Layered Logos.
Here are some logo trends for this upcoming year that are noteworthy. We think you'll agree that these logo trends are pretty great.
2015 will include logos made of hand drawn letters and words. This trend is not as surprising, as hand drawn type has become more and more popular these past few years. Simply search "hand lettered logos" on Google and you will get a slew of examples. What's exciting about this trends is that there are many varying styles than can be accomplished by creating logos by hand. Some take on a calligraphic script style and others may fall under a brush lettering style.
Here is a great example of a Hand Lettered logo done by designer Mateusz Witczack on Behance.
As designers strive to get more creative with letters, it's predicted that many logos will contain custom letterforms, breaking away from the existing font structure. As many logos are letter-heavy (think of monograms, emblems, etc.), custom letterforms are a means of making a logo truly unique. Custom letterform designs are very elegant and can apply Gestalt principles, therefore taking advantage of positive and negative space.
Uppercase letters have gotten the limelight for long enough, and now it's time for lowercase letters to shine. People often gravitate towards uppercase when creating logos because they capture attention. We're not saying to do away with uppercases completely, as they do express power and confidence, yet lowercase logos are friendly and approachable as they are more casual. However, this you need to consider whether this casual feel is appropriate for your business and audience.
Omlet is a new "chat app" (originated from Silicon Valley) that uses all lowercase letters in their clean and sleek logo design.
Varying color styles and how to use color have gone in and out of fashion throughout history. Remember the 80's and bright, multi-color graphics? Well, 2015 will be a year of logos containing a few colors, often two to three, in a monochromatic color scheme. This trend resonates with the current overall trend of simplicity rather than complexity. Two-tone logos are effective because it allows differentiation or separation of words using a simple visual element… color, that is. As the Omlet logo above contains two tasteful colors, we will see many more logos with a similar style gaining momentum in the near future.
At Designflair, we get really excited about logos. We're looking forward to crafting unique, professional, and creative logos. Talk with us now to see what we can create for your company or business logo!
