Busta's Survivors of the Week: Love is the best medicine
Breast cancer survivors Yvonne Wiley, her daughter, Lashaunda Martin, with Wiley's sisters, Joann Agnew and Helen Mitchell.
"My body was feeling some type of way and I knew deep down inside I had it," said 46-year-old Lashaunda Martin. It is something her mother Yvonne Wiley, aunts Joann Agnew and Helen Mitchell, and cousin Dwanna Agnew don't have. It is breast cancer.
"My doctor began treating me for acid reflux, but I knew it wasn't that. I couldn't explain the feeling, but I was always tired and I never felt good," Lashaunda said. She knew in her heart that it was cancer, "but I kept it to myself, and I decided to prepare myself for the fight."
A week after her second doctor's visit, her mom, Yvonne, aunts, Helen and Joann, and cousin Dwanna, all participated in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Winston-Salem. Dwanna suggested that she and Lashaunda get a breast exam. "We went to a booth that was doing free mammograms. And by me being the oldest daughter, I just knew I was going to have it, because my mother had it twice," said Dwanna. The key word is HAD. Her mother, Joann Agnew, and aunts are all breast cancer survivors.
Joann is a 23-year stage 2 survivor. She had a double mastectomy and chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Her aunt Helen is a 20-year stage 2 survivor. She had a single mastectomy, with chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Aunt Yvonne is a 10-year stage 0 survivor. She had a lumpectomy and 33 radiation treatments. "So when I saw that booth, Lashaunda and I had to get checked," said Dwanna.
Dwanna and Lashaunda received their mammogram results from the booth. "Hers were positive, but mine were negative. But I took her results as if it was me, because we're family. That following week, all five of us went to the doctor's office together when she received her diagnosis," said Dwanna.
Lashaunda added, "I was already prepared, because I've seen my mom and aunts beat it, so I knew I would as well." She's now a six-year stage 0 breast cancer survivor. "It's not a day I don't think about it coming back. But with the support we give each other, it keeps my faith strong."
I also spoke with Dwanna's mother, Joann, who said, "When I was first diagnosed in 1997, I knew I was going to die. So I prepared a will, the clothes for my funeral and an obituary. I also closed my nail boutique. But the love and support from my daughter and family gave me the will to live. And I wanted to see my grandchildren grow up. So, when the cancer came back in 2004, it was easy to keep my faith, stay strong and fight it. And I won!"
Although she no longer has the nail boutique, her passion is still there. "I volunteer doing nails for cancer patients at the Derrick L. Davis Cancer Center for Feel Good Fridays. It's every first Friday. I love it!" said Joann.
Agnew, her daughter Dwanna, sisters Helen and Yvonne, and her daughter Lashaunda, all participate in the different cancer awareness fundraisers in Winston-Salem. These phenomenal super women go out in the community sharing their testimonies as well.
"During my mom's battle with breast cancer, I didn't allow her to feel sorry for herself. I encouraged her to do the things she was able to do on her own. That tough love helped her fight and built her confidence. And then she did the same for her sisters and my cousin," said Dwanna.
Lashaunda added, "When you have the love and support that we give each other, quitting is never an option. We all knew that we would beat cancer," she continued. "Whenever your body isn't feeling right, please get checked immediately. My diagnosis was stage 0, so getting checked early saved my life."
Recently, the ladies decided to do a genealogy test and results were mind blowing. "It said that it doesn't run in our family. That's really strange, but the doctor believes it's just a crazy coincidence," said Lashaunda.
She shares her journey on social media to encourage younger women not to be afraid of getting a mammogram. "Because it saves lives, like it did for me."

Final Urban League town hall tackles implicit bias

Long wait times and inconsistent rule enforcements marred some student polling locations as Wisconsin held its first presidential election with new voter ID requirements Tuesday.
Vera Swanson, University of Wisconsin senior, said when she went to vote at the Lowell Center, the poll workers only asked for her proof of residence, not her ID. Swanson said she didn't know why it happened, but felt like it wasn't just a mistake.
Michelle Britton, UW senior, said her ID also was not checked when she voted at the Lowell Center. She said she was frustrated that she took the time to get a voter ID, but was never even asked for it.
David Diamondstone, chief inspector at the Lowell Center, said it's possible some students slipped through the cracks and weren't asked for their ID. He said if it did happen, it would most likely happen for those students who had to register to vote at the polls, since the poll workers have to check the registration form, the proof of residency and the ID.
Both Swanson and Britton said they had to go through the registration process.
Other students said the amount of time spent waiting in line to receive an ID was unacceptable. Andrew Kilger said he waited more than an hour at Gordon Dining and Event Center before he had the necessary identification to vote, and even considered not voting.
Jackie Spaight, president of Badgers for Bernie, said other students were discouraged from voting because of all the hurdles they had to go through.
"We had to explain to them you have to go to Union South, grab your ID — I know someone almost didn't get to the polls on time because they had to get their voter ID before they could go to their polling location," Spaight said.
Diamondstone said the Lowell Center was chaotic earlier in the day because they were understaffed and had a heavy volume of voters.
Though most students did not run into issues when trying to vote, Diamondstone said he had to turn away a few people who came to vote because they didn't have a proper ID.
As of 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Diamondstone said two had come back once they got the proper voter ID from Union South or Gordon and a few others decided to vote provisionally, meaning they could vote as long as they returned with proper ID later in the week.
Some, however, decided not to vote at all because of the ID requirement.
An additional challenge was the voter ID printer at Gordon was down this morning, causing delays for some students in obtaining IDs.
.@UWMadison the fact that the printer at Gordon Commons used to print out voter IDs for tomorrow's election is broken is unacceptable.
Some students were sent to Union South instead to get their IDs. UW confirmed on their Twitter account at 2:51 p.m. the issue was resolved and the printer was back online.
@_kaylacooke @LoriBerquam @BeckyBlank Yes. Gordon machine is online. 20 students directed to U. South. Both offices open until 8 p.m.
Overall, wards 54 through 58, which encompass most of campus, saw a combined voter turnout of more than 6,000, according to the Dane County Clerk's Office.

When you think about how to shoot pool, the stroke is of course one of the most important parts. After taking a longer break recently, I noticed a couple of details which are still essential for a proper technique. There are of course plenty of things to keep in mind (I wrote a book with 20 in it). But who remembers 20 things in daily life? In this blog post I only list three aspects which will help you maintain a better technique under pressure.
Before we dive into the details… Whenever you're working on your technique, keep this in mind: Instead of giving yourself verbal commands what to do, you should be aware of what your body is doing. So instead of telling yourself: "Keep your wrist relaxed", it should be: "How relaxed is my wrist right now?" Your body will do the right thing automatically and in a relaxed way.
On his first DVD, british pool pro Darren Appleton doesn't say a lot more than "Keep your head still". He doesn't mean keeping only your head still, but your entire body, and to only move your arm when your shooting and nothing else. I've been saying that for years, every pool coach is saying it, and still we tend to forget it all the time. When I recently remembered to focus on it again, I noticed that I have a slight movement in my body while shooting. Only when I really focused on not moving, I made the most difficult shots. So, if you don't make the hard shots, very often it might not be because you aimed wrong, but because you had a slight movement in your body. Focus on that for a while; maybe you'll experience a miracle, too.
This is a very similar point with similar implications: Very often we disctract the cue and lose precision because our wrist is too tight or we're even actively doing something with it. The wrist should always be loose, which we also call "passive". "Passive", because we don't want to be actively loose; in that case we tend to be too engaged with the wrist and add another source of error. The wrist is doing nothing in pool besides hanging downwards in a relaxed way and, because it's relaxed, swinging passively when shooting.
As in point 1, keeping your head still, most players know that a loose wrist is important for your stroke. And still I notice that my wrist gets looser when I consciously watch how loose it actually is. With a loose, passive wrist we gain precision and impact.
See this aspect in combination with the first two points: If we don't move our body except our arm, and if our wrist is loose and passive and doesn't give direction to the cue, of course our stance has to be aligned in the same way every time, in relation to the direction of the shot. Practice aligning your body to the shot direction in the same way every time. Its helpful to make an additional step off the table before going down on your shot and then approach your shot from the front instead of from the side. A lot of coaches refer to that as "walking into the shot".
1. That's nonsense. I've seen plenty of advanced players making some or all of these mistakes.
2. How does your comment provide any value? Or is it just to show that you don't consider yourself a beginner anymore? Congratulations!

Kurt - NARHA 2006 "Horse of the Year"
Kurt, a 15 year old Norwegian Fjord horse, received the North American Riding for the Handicapped Association 2006 Region 9 horse of the year. Julia Bozzo, the Center's director received the honor for Kurt at the NARHA national conference held on November 11 in Indianapolis. In addition to Washington State, Region 9 includes Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Idaho and Montana.
We, at the Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center, sadly announce the passing of our beautiful "Dutch Treat" (DT), (a Dutch Warmblood), at the age of 31. For the past 16 years, DT set the highest standard with her exemplary work ethic and personality, a true shining star in our program. She was honored in 2012 with the prestigious PATH Intl. Region 9 Therapeutic Horse of the Year Award for her many years of service and extensive talents as a mainstay in our versatile program.
Throughout her life, DT always performed to the best of her ability. She could do it all - dressage, jumping, western pleasure, patient, kind and dependable therapeutic lesson horse; the leader of the pack. Several of our students have ridden DT for 16 consecutive years and will truly miss her, as will all of us at NWTRC. A final thank you goes to her owners, Pat Holmes and Carrie Bieber, who generously loaned DT to participate in our program all these years.
All who knew her will never forget Dutch Treat, the gorgeous, big white mare. We are establishing a memorial fund in her honor, the Stride For Distinction Fund, to continue the standards of excellence and follow in DT's hoofprints.
Kleng - NARHA National 2009 "Equine of the Year"
Kleng, an 18-year-old Norwegian Fjord horse who has carried hundreds of disabled riders on his strong back over the years at the NorthWest Therapeutic Riding Center (NWTRC) outside Bellingham, Washington, won the "2009 Equine of the Year Award," presented in Fort Worth, Texas, by the NARHA, a national association of equine assisted activity and therapy.
Kleng has "a strong steady walk, a tireless trot and a 'rocking horse' canter," according to Julia Bozzo, his owner and executive director of NWTRC. A gentleman and a dandy horse, Kleng jumps, trail rides, longes well with a rider and is trained to pull a cart.
Dozens of horses from therapeutic riding programs around the United States and Canada compete each year, first in their respective regions and then among the regional winners for the national Equine of the Year. Kleng was chosen as the winner for Region 9 before the national conference held November 15-21 in Fort Worth. "When his name was announced at the conference gala as the winner, I thrilled beyond belief," said Bozzo. "Of course, anybody who has worked with or ridden Kleng knows that his smooth gait and friendly calm personality make him very special, but it's just so gratifying to have him recognized nationally."
Kleng's personality is so steady, according to Bozzo, that early in his therapeutic riding career he responded to the bouquet of purple balloons that arrived at the ring by leading his handler and rider over to get a better look and a sniff of the new purple arrivals. Norwegian Fjord horses are said to have been in evidence during the time of the Vikings, but Kleng originally hailed from Vancouver Island, where he was related to most of the other Fjords on the island. Trained since the age of four to work in equine-assisted activities, Kleng has worked as a therapy horse at NWTRC for 13 years. Kleng performs in many disciplines, in many environments and for many ability levels. "He thrives from lots of riding and handling and always seems to look forward to the next challenge," Julia Bozzo commented. "Especially at the end of the session when he gets a carrot," she adds.


Idiap is proud to award James Newling and Gulcan Can for their outstanding work.
James' research is in the field of clustering (k-means and k-medoids). James Newling started in September 2013 and defends his thesis in December 2017. His PhD advisor, François Fleuret, says: "While his work is strongly math-oriented, with proven complexity bounds, [James] also did a fantastic work regarding implementation. He spent three months as an intern at AMD in Texas last year to develop new algorithms for general matrix products on their line of GPU, and it went so well that AMD [extended support] so that we could continue working on that topic." James has several publications, at NIPS (x2), ICML and AISTATS. The AISTATS paper got the best paper award.
This paper, published online in September 2017 in the IEEE transaction on Multimedia, focuses on the crowd-annotation of an ancient Maya glyph dataset derived from the three ancient codices that survived up to date. It leverages non-expert annotators to segment glyph-blocks into their constituent glyph. Through design of an engaging task, taking into account crowd behavior and providing supervision during the task, a unique dataset of over 9000 Maya glyphs from 291 categories individually segmented from the three codices was created and will be made publicly available thanks to this process. Gulcan has publicly defended her thesis in November 2017.

Something changed on Tuesday night with Mitt Romney's three primary state victories, and it wasn't just the all-but-universal acknowledgment that he'll be the Republican nominee.
In his speech in Wisconsin, Romney finally found the right argument to use against Barack Obama — indeed, located the very specific dividing line between the president and his opposition that Republicans and conservatives have been trying to draw for four years now.
"Government-centered society" isn't the most felicitous phrase, nor the most memorable sound-bite. But that may be for the best. What it lacks in mellifluousness, it makes up for in deadly accuracy.
Every major initiative of the Obama presidency has placed the government at the center of the policy the president wishes to effect and the change he wishes to see. Its policies have not necessarily put government in charge, or given government total control; but they have made government a dominating presence.
First came the stimulus package in 2009 — a direct $860 billion infusion into the economy. The lion's share of those dollars did not go toward lubricating the machinery of job growth but rather directly into the coffers to state and local governments to balance their books.
The $100 billion bailout of two US auto companies led to the president and his team literally choosing which kinds of cars those companies should be making — determining the level of union compensation and unilaterally changing the rules of the private contracts into which the companies had entered with their debtors.
And finally and most directly, ObamaCare uses government power to direct every American to purchase a health-insurance policy. It creates state-level "exchanges" that will function as government-managed insurance companies. And it empowers a cost-savings board of advisers who will design centralized rules for the distribution of health-care services.
Obama hasn't nationalized the auto industry or the health-care industry, nor did he assume control of the economy via the stimulus. What he has sought to do is enmesh government, the economy and the citizenry in a new way.
That is why Romney's "government-centered society" is a brilliant stroke, why it's going to stick — and why Obama's partisans and Obama himself aren't going to be able to shake it off so easily.
It has been difficult for the right to define its ideological discontent with Obama in a way that might be convincing to those who don't think in ideological terms.
Obama is more than just a standard-issue liberal, but less than a European social democrat. He has a centrist's cool temperament, but a statist's bald confidence. So what is he?
In a 2010 Commentary magazine article, Jonah Goldberg playfully dubbed Obama a "neo-Socialist" — whose relation to socialism mirrored the relationship of the neoconservatives of the 1970s to old-fashioned conservatism.
The strength of the Romney approach is that it redirects the line of attack from Obama personally to his philosophy and his vision for the United States.
That's not especially felicitous, either. But it offers voters a clear and unambiguous choice, which is Romney's major challenge.
And so the argument begins.

the ssid recover.me is active when the gateway is unreachable.
is the normal ssid up and running?
if not, is the ZD1200 up and running. can you configure it or is the status led steady green?
if not, you should get the ZD up.
if yes, can you administrate the AP's? are they in the same network like the ZD?
are some managable Switches involved? VLAN?
for example, the managable switch from zyxel looses the configuration after power loss if not saved before.

If it is a large button, you will need a large slit, if a small button, then a small slit. Sew a zigzag around the loose edges so it doesn' t fray.

Borderland Beat (BB) is an English language news blog that reports on the Mexican Drug War. The blog was started in 2009 by an anonymous individual using the pseudonym Buggs. BB's reporters are mostly based in the U.S. and Mexico. Their main focus is to provide English coverage of the drug war in Mexico, by creating analysis and research material about drug cartels, criminal figures, and the effects on the ongoing drug war, as well as translating Spanish articles into English.

Origins

Borderland Beat was started in 2009 by "Buggs" (Alex Marentes), a retired Albuquerque Police Department officer and former active duty and reserve U.S. Marine. Buggs' intention was to report about the Mexican Drug War to U.S. readers. Buggs began translating Mexican drug cartel news articles from Spanish to English since mid-2008 but was using his personal blog as a platform. Realizing the dangers of reporting on his personal blog, he created Borderland Beat and hosted it on Blogger, a platform owned by Google. Buggs came up with the name of the blog because "borderland" refers to a geographical space or zone around a territorial border, in this case the U.S.-Mexico border. Buggs was born in the El Paso–Juárez border area and Borderland Beat initially started by covering drug cartel violence in this area. The word "beat" stands for a specific territory that law enforcement operate in. Once the blog was launched, Buggs created his pen name to protect his identity; only a few people in his circle knew his real identity.

History and content
Borderland Beat posts news about the Mexican Drug War on a daily basis since its creation. The project is run by volunteer reporters based in the U.S. and Mexico, and their main objective is to inform the English-speaking world about drug cartel violence. Borderland Beat mostly translated Spanish-language drug cartel news into English. Borderland Beat also develops their research by interviewing people in Mexico and doing their own analysis. They sometimes work in collaboration with other media outlets and think tanks (such as Small Wars Journal and InSight Crime) by sharing their news articles for references and by allowing them to partially or fully republish their material. Although not initially trained in journalism, Buggs created Borderland Beat out of a "necessity to inform" readers about the drug violence in Mexico, considering the censorship by traditional media.

Borderland Beat claims that none of the reporters met face-to-face and only maintained contact through the platform and via email. To protect the identities, all of the Borderland Beat reporters conceal their identities and other personal information. Some posts are sometimes passed down through intermediaries to protect their integrity. "They could be journalists, cops, politicians, maybe even cartel members themselves," Buggs said in an interview. In addition, several reporters have passed through Borderland Beat's editorial board over the years, including some that "disappeared" from the online community without prior notice, like former Borderland Beat reporters "Iliana" and "Rise Machiavelli". Borderland Beat stated that they do not know if they are dead or alive. The most active contributor throughout Borderland Beat's history was "Chivis Martinez", a female reporter based in Mexico. She initially covered cartel violence in Coahuila and eventually in 2013, she took over the everyday management and operation of the blog.

The first article published by Borderland Beat was titled "Los Capos" (English: The Drug Kingpins), which included the list of Mexico's 37 most-wanted drug lords. The article included the names of the wanted fugitives, their aliases and bounties, and the cartels they were working: the Sinaloa Cartel, Tijuana Cartel, Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas, La Familia Michoacana, Juárez Cartel and the Beltrán Leyva Organization. Over the years, Borderland Beat increased in readership and popularity, including with U.S. and Mexican law enforcement. As readers began to contribute in the articles' comments sections, Borderland Beat created a forum for users to share drug cartel news and updates. Borderland Beat has reporters and informants based in Mexico who provided "boots on the ground" for many of the news articles published by the blog. Several of them were based in various geographical locations, which facilitated information gathering on distinct drug cartels that operated in these respective areas.

In the 2010s, Borderland Beat started collaborating with journalists and crime reporters based in Mexico to give them a safer platform to share organized crime news. In Mexico, journalists avoided writing about drug cartel violence because they feared retribution from organized crime groups, and they used Borderland Beat to publish articles that they could not report on the mainstream Mexican media. Borderland Beat never had a physical office where drug cartels could carry out an attack, another factor that made it an attractive platform for crime reporters. In March 2010, Borderland Beat wrote an article titled "War on Information in Mexico", which covered violence against journalists and the rise of social media as a platform for news sharing. The following year, Borderland Beat published an article titled "Mexican Drug Cartel Kills Blogger" that highlighted the growing dangers of citizen journalists in Mexico's ongoing drug war. As bloggers started becoming a target by organized crime groups in Mexico, several international media outlets interviewed some of the BB reporters to share their experiences. The Daily Dot and MSNBC interviewed former Borderland Beat reporter "Overmex" and Der Spiegel interviewed "Gerardo".

In 2011, Buggs decided to reveal his identity to confront the logistics of maintaining Borderland Beat and to help spread Borderland Beat's popularity. Buggs argued that by revealing his identity, this move would help media outlets identify the point of contact within Borderland Beat and avoid pursuing other reporters and try to uncover their identities. In November of that year, Buggs did his first interview with the Texas-based news outlet KRGV News. During the interview, Buggs discussed Borderland Beat's mission and violence against reporters. "[Borderland Beat] was intended to fill a voice that the media wasn't reporting," Buggs said. "A lot of the narco cartels were targeting the media."

Between December 2009 and June 2022, Borderland Beat has had 243,705,858 visits. It averages approximately 50,000 readers a day. Borderland Beat also had a Facebook account with 100,000 followers, but this page was closed in February 2020 for reportedly "violating community standards". Borderland Beat responded to the closure by stating that someone had reported their Facebook page and that they had never received a warning of any supposed violations. They claimed that they rarely uploaded gore videos and that those that they did were usually covered by Facebook with a warning notice. Borderland Beat posted articles from their main site on Facebook but also shared raw information that was sent to them from anonymous users. "The staff on Facebook reviewed the page and they felt the whole page violated the community standards and chose to just delete the whole page permanently. I find this move might have an ulterior motive", BB said in a statement.

Borderland Beat was the first media outlet to confirm the May 2020 death of Sinaloa Cartel drug lord José Rodrigo Aréchiga Gamboa ("El Chino Ántrax"), who had been in supervised released at his home in San Diego, California, but escaped to his hometown of Culiacán, Sinaloa. BB broke the story after one of their sources confirmed to them that Chino Ántrax was killed in a shootout in Culiacán along with his sister Ada Jimena Aréchiga Gamboa and brother-in-law Juan Garcia Espinoza.

Lawsuit
In October 2020, BB announced that they were shutting down their website in response to a lawsuit issued against them by a Mexican drug lord. The drug lord in question was Armando Valencia Cornelio, former leader of the Milenio Cartel, who sued BB through the United States District Court for the Northern District of California for publishing a story about him that included personal information. BB reporter "MX" published an article in June 2020 giving an overview of his criminal career and release from U.S. prison earlier that year. The article stated that Valencia Cornelio was moving to Atherton, California, and had lymphoma cancer. The story was originally published by the Mexican newspaper Reforma and translated and republished by BB. Multiple other media outlets in Mexico also circulated the story and were eventually included in Valencia Cornelio's lawsuit.

In efforts to conceal his identity, Valencia Cornelio was granted a "John Doe" plaintiff identity after his attorney Jeffrey Mendelman filed a motion. In the lawsuit, Valencia Cornelio's defense complained that BB violated Blogger's privacy policy by publishing personal information about him. The BB report included an old California driver's license (CDL) that Valencia Cornelio once owned. That CDL included the "...driver's license number, address, sex, height, weight, date of birth and signature of [Valencia Cornelio]." The CDL was originally published by the Mexican newspaper El Norte in 2003, the year Valencia Cornelio was arrested in Mexico. BB closed down their main website but said that they would continue their efforts on a smaller scale through their Twitter account. They said they were hoping to relaunch in January 2021. BB relaunched in January 2021 as projected. They reiterated their commitment to reporting on Mexican drug cartels, and said they would keep their readers informed on the progression of the lawsuit.

Borderland Beat has since resumed reporting and their website is back online.

Watersong is one of those amazing books in which the marriage of words and illustrations deliver a complete and brilliant story.
In fifty-six words (only two of them repeated once each), and in rhythmic rhyme, Tim McCanna created a story of what one can experience of nature's breathtaking power. Through onomatopoeia – in this case rain sounds, such as drip drop plip plop – the reader follows a fox through the forest as rain begins falling, intensifies, increases into a storm from which the fox seeks shelter, then the rain tapers off and turns back to a sunny early summer day. It's all through scant words on each page and well-suited illustrations.
The illustrator, Richard Smythe, used soft watercolour to create the pleasant hues of summer in the forest, river, and meadow during and after the rain. His illustrations perfectly reveal what the words are saying, while the words precisely describe what the illustrations are showing. It's beautifully done, truly a water song.
Reading Watersong slowly and thoughtfully, the reader can imagine being there and hearing the rain in its different moods. It's a lovely book.
You can find Watersong by Tim McCanna on my BUY THE BOOK page. I also post my reviews on Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Goodreads, and sometimes Chapters.Indigo.
Your comments for author and/or illustrator are appreciated.

It's a quick read but taking your time to enjoy the illustrations is worth it. There's much to ponder, especially if you listen for and imagination the different sounds of the rain. Lovely!

Fire engulfs historic Polish cathedral
A huge blaze engulfed the tower of a 700-year-old Gothic cathedral in the western Polish city of Gorzów Wielkopolski.
Firefighters contained the flames on Sunday night, 24 hours after they were first reported at 6:30 pm on Saturday, a fire department spokesman said.
He added that officers remained at the scene to ensure the fire was fully extinguished, while construction experts assessed the tower's stability.

Up to 170 firefighters were involved in putting out the fire.
The blaze damaged the tower's clock face, copper dome roof and probably much of its historic timber construction, and it is likely that water used in fighting the fire may have damaged the cathedral's pipe organ and the tower's interior.
But precious items from inside and nearby the tower had been saved, the fire department spokesman said.

Police are expected to launch an official inquiry into the causes of the blaze on Monday.
The cathedral dates as early as 1297 but the 40-metre tower was built in the 17th century. The church lies in the heart of Gorzów Wielkopolski, which marks its 760th anniversary this year.

Here you will find all the necessary information, tips and advice you'll need to choose the right equipment, learn the basics and even proceed to more difficult moves and tricks. So let's start!
1. What is a Pogo Stick – if you have only a vague idea what a pogo stick is and what it's capable of, read this short section first – otherwise feel free to skip it of course.
2. Choose the best stick for your needs – there are many different sticks on the market today but which one is the most suitable for you? View our most recommended models for kids, teenagers, adults or tricks!
3. Learn how to ride it – learning how to bounce is not difficult – but our guide (with videos as well) will make it even easier.
4. Start with pogo tricks – and after you master the basic jumping, you would probably want to learn some cool stunts – so we'll start with the easier ones and continue to the more difficult as your skill increases.


MuttShack held an Adopted Pet Family Reunion at Petco (Burbank) where people came with their adopted dogs to say thank you to MuttShack – except it was MuttShack who wanted to give the thanks and rewarded adopted pet owners with a bag of doggie treats (compliments of Petco).
Watch video to see all the cute dogs returning to thank MuttShack for finding them a perfect home.
That day MuttShack was going after the goal of 500 adopted dogs by the end of the day, reaching 497 before the day ended. Not too bad! Today, MuttShack's numbers are over 1200 adopted dogs and growing daily.


We are really excited to present The Annex because not only is it a great yacht, but it has one of the best crews around - Anne and Shane, previously crew on Gypsy Princess. The Annex is incredible – 58ft and five queen cabins. There is tons of space both above and below decks ensuring that everyone has their privacy and hangout spaces.
Each cabin has a queen bed and their own ensuite bathroom. There is an abundance of natural light from the many windows and hatches, which is accentuated by the light wood used throughout and along with a neutral palette, the overall effect is uncluttered and contemporary. The salon offers comfortable seating and flows seamlessly into the large cockpit area with outdoor dining and seating. In addition there is an extremely spacious "upstairs" flybridge area with additional seating and dining.
Why book The Annex? – FIVE CABINS - Larger yachts with five cabins are not so plentiful and, when you do find them, the price is sometimes prohibitive. The Annex is competively priced with no drop in luxury or amenities. You can afford to take all your friends or family members for the vacation of a lifetime!
• Lemon Head Super Tender Option: 24ft center console tender with 230HP outboards available at additional cost of $2,900 per week. This allows excursions further afield of the yacht. Operation of the tender is legally limited to the Captain.


In view of the financial crisis that the Country is experiencing, have you considered postponing the city tax since this is going to create a burden on the residents of Santa Clara and especially those of a firm income?
Yes! In fact we have postponed the city tax for almost 10 years.
What would happen if a resident is unable to pay the new city tax?
The process would be similar to any other tax such as county or school. Penalties would accrue and eventually liens would be attached.
What exemptions are being considered when applying the tax?
-Over 65 and/or disabled tax freeze will be considered later.
Do you intent to hire a full time person to collect and administer the City Tax? If so where is the money coming from?
The collection and administration of the city tax would be handled by the Guadelupe County Tax Collection (Tavie Murphy). The fees involved would be withheld from the taxes collected.


You are welcome to join Reception class at Faulkner House on Friday 30th November, 11:00 am – 12 noon for 'River Roots'. Reception class will be performing songs they have created and playing their wonderful, handmade instruments. Refreshments will be available as well as a chance to sing along to some familiar songs.


Another chilly night, dipping to the mid 30s. Ironically, once I put up the tarp, the rain stopped. Funny how that is.
And yes, I did have interesting dreams, one where my friends and loved ones were meeting me in an elevator where I was taking my bike onto a train. Seemed they were all joining me on the trip. As I realized you all have done just that, by reading along on the blog. Thank you all, for being my traveling companions, even as I have chosen to ride solo.
I'm aware of a strong connection to home and also to new friends I've met along the journey. Like the kind folks I met in a cafe and coffee shop today. Why is it that only towards the end of a tour I finally start opening up and talking to "strangers"? Maybe the malaise I feel as the tour winds down forces me to reach out.
I felt the blues this morning as I set out, as well as prickly cold fingers and toes. I don't enjoy starting a ride in such cold, but beautiful clear skies are the reward. And my destination today was a family RV park and hot spring spa near Palm Springs. It really helped to look forward to getting into the hot water there. Not so much looking forward to the hot water back in Corvallis – restaurant sales slumped in October, uncertainty still looming.
But no sense obsessing about that, with a great ride at hand. Wild, long descents through stunning desert landscape. But what words can't say, pictures say better. And then there's the video. Unfortunately I'm having issues with the upload, so you'll have to wait till I can find faster wifi.

We're all human I guess... but still don't like him I'm afraid. He's a freeloader, where the Queen, Prince Charles, and the other major royals all do their bit.
Maybe he does his bit quietly and discreetly I don't know, but I can't get to respect him... sorry.


Cell phone use while driving is a serious problem for adolescent drivers, placing them at risk for injury and death. We know from previous research that adolescents are heavily reliant on their cell phones for communication and connectivity, and admit to using their cell phone while driving in self-report surveys. In addition, we know from studies that use video cameras in cars that adolescents use their phones while driving.
My colleague and CIRP Senior Fellow Kit Delgado, MD, MS and I are particularly interested in how to measure behaviors related to cell phone use while driving, while staying on top of the quickly changing technology that adolescents use. Along with our co-authors, CIRP Senior Fellow Douglas Wiebe, PhD, Kristen Ward, MPH, and Yanlan Huang, MS, we recently published a study in Health Education and Behavior to examine novel measures of cell phone use while driving to better understand how and at what speeds adolescents use their cell phone while driving.
We enrolled a small group adolescent drivers who were licensed for less than 90 days to install a device in their vehicle and an application on their smartphone to see if we could measure interaction with the cell phone. We were able to collect data on how often they "unlocked" their cell phone, their trip length in miles and hours, and vehicle speed. The "unlock" was indicative of hand-held engagement with the phone, where the phone manually goes from the locked position to the unlocked position, requiring the hand-held engagement.
The average speed at which the adolescents unlocked their phone was 25 mph.
The highest individual average speed at unlock was over 50 mph.
Adolescent drivers, even those who were newly licensed, engaged with their cell phone during driving in some potentially high-risk scenarios such as at high speeds.
The information we gathered about how adolescent drivers engage with their phones at elevated speeds can help us better understand the nature of risky behaviors. Our results also help provide another picture of how adolescents are using their cell phone while driving.
We are seeing a lot of engagement, and we need to work to help reduce these risky behaviors in adolescents. This will likely take a multipronged approach that involves addressing individual factors, the role of parents, community norms and state-level policies affecting adolescent drivers.

Little Joe 1 (LJ-1) was a failed launch of a Little Joe by NASA, a solid fuel rocket that was designed for a Max Q abort and launch escape system test for the Mercury capsule. The objective was to determine how well the escape rocket would function under the most severe dynamic loading conditions anticipated during a Mercury-Atlas launching.

The vehicle was  in height, weighed approximately , and was  in diameter with a fin span of . The Little Joe booster consisted of four Pollux and four Recruit clustered, solid-fuel rockets, could develop a thrust of , and could lift a maximum payload of . The escape system, using a Grand Central 1KS52000 rocket motor, weighed .

On 21 August 1959, LJ-1 was being prepared for launch from the Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Virginia. At 35 minutes before launch, evacuation of the area had been proceeding on schedule and the batteries for the programmer and destruct system in the test booster were being charged. Suddenly, half an hour before launch time, an explosive flash occurred. When the smoke cleared it was evident that only the capsule-and-tower combination had been launched, on a trajectory similar to an off-the-pad abort. The booster and adapter-clamp ring remained intact on the launcher. Near apogee, at about 610 m, the clamping ring that held tower to capsule released and the little pyro-rocket for jettisoning the tower fired. The flight time was 20 seconds.

The accident report for LJ-1, issued 18 September 1959, blamed the premature firing of the Grand Central escape rocket on an electrical leak, or what missile engineers call transients or ghost voltages in a relay circuit. The fault was found in a coil designed to protect biological specimens from too rapid an abort.

According to the 18 September 1959 accident report, the unexpected triggering of the launch escape system was caused by a transient or electrical leak; analysis showed it to be due to the rapid-abort system being wired directly into the destruct arming busbar. The batteries were shipped from England to the U.S. uncharged and shorted; on charging at the pad, the batteries, when enough charge was reached, actuated the sequencer for the abort system, and sensing insufficient altitude, fired the squibs in the abort motor. Insufficient power in the batteries then failed to initiate the tower jettison motor and capsule parachute recovery charge, and both crashed into the sea.
