Whittell students support athletic director in her fight against breast cancer
She had just endured a double mastectomy and caught pneumonia, but there she sat at the girls' quarterfinal volleyball game.
Kathy Bluethman is usually the one giving support. Right now, she needs some. The Warriors' athletic director must pull together $10,500 to continue her battle against breast cancer. –
Bluethman underwent a double mastectomy in October, but doctors were unable to remove all the cancer. The cancer has now progressed to Stage 4 and spread to the outer lining of her lungs.
Bluethman is currently in the hospital with pneumonia and undergoing chemotherapy treatments to shrink the cancer before it can be removed. She will then travel to Houston, Texas, to visit specialists at the University of Texas, MD Anderson Cancer Center. The center is renowned for helping people with advanced stages of cancer.
To get in the door, Bluethman needs a down payment of $10,500.
Whittell High School is doing everything it can to make that happen.
The students, community and staff have rallied around Bluethman. The classrooms and halls are bursting with pink. Support is pouring out of the Warriors, from bright pink Ms. B shirts down to dyed pink hair.
The support spreads to the athletic field.
The boys football, girls volleyball, boys and girls soccer and cross-country teams all wore pink jerseys for games in October along with pink shoelaces and socks.
The outpouring is not surprising, considering Bluethman's door has always been open to the kids in this community. She was, after all, one of them at one point.
Bluethman graduated from South Tahoe High School in 1981. During her time as a Vikings she played volleyball and cheered. Bluethman went on to coach cross-country at the high school and volleyball and track at the South Tahoe Middle School. –
From Viking to Warrior, Bluethman keeps fighting.
Giving up doesn't seem to be in her vocabulary. She was involved in a hit-and-run accident five years ago that left her in a coma for weeks with a severe brain injury. Whittell staff said her survival was miraculous.
Bluethman had just seemed to recover when she received another devastating blow in February of this year. She was diagnosed with breast cancer.
She elected to undergo chemotherapy and for awhile the treatment seemed to have worked. She went in for routine checkup recently, however, and learned she would need a double mastectomy.
But through it all, Bluethman's spirits remain high and the support for her kids unwavering.
Bluethman once said that every student felt like one of her kids. The statement didn't seem so far-fetched as she sat in the bleachers at the volleyball game last week. She was the one wearing pink and a big smile.
Whittell will hold the first of many fundraisers at The Red Hut off Ski Run Boulevard on Thursday, Nov. 15, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets will be on sale at Whittell High School, the South Tahoe counseling department and the Tahoe Daily Tribune for $10. The $10 includes a hamburger, chips, soft drinks and great company. Tickets must be purchased in advance. Those interested in selling tickets can call Whittell at 775-588-2446.
A bank account has also been set up at Wells Fargo under the name of "Kathy Bluethman Cancer Fund." The account number is 7555072284.

Norway's climate
Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions have risen 4.2 per cent from 1990. We expect a long-term trend of a rise in total emissions towards 2020, unless new measures are implemented.
The mean temperature in Norway is increasing
In recent years, the mean temperature in Norway has generally been higher than normal. The exception was 2010, which was one of the coldest years since 1900.
The highest mean temperature was recorded in 2014 with 2,2 °C above average. Other years with high averages are 1934, 1990 2006 and 2011 and 2015 - with 1.8 °C above average.
In 2016, the temperature was 1,5 °C above average.
In the Norwegian Arctic, deviations from the average are greater than in the rest of the Norway. The largest deviation measured by Svalbard airport since 1920 was in 2016, when the average annual mean temperature was 6,5 °C above normal.
Higher temperatures lead to less snow and ice.
Forward looking
The annual mean temperature is expected to increase by as much as 2.3-4.6°C by 2100. Temperatures will increase most in winter. The increase will be greatest in northern Norway. Precipitation levels will increase throughout the country, especially in winter. Summer precipitation in eastern and southern Norway is likely to decrease towards the end of the century.
We can already see effects on the Norwegian natural climate
Many changes, caused by climate change, have already been observed in the Norwegian natural environment, and major changes are expected to occur in types of habitat and species composition.
Forward looking
As the climate warms up, several species shift northwards, and new species will therefore reach Norway. Both indigenous species and ecosystems may be negatively affected, especially those that are already vulnerable and threatened. In large parts of the mountains forest cover will develop in the long run.
The growing season will be considerably longer. For many parts of the country, the growing season is expected to last another 1-2 months, and some areas may see it extended by 2-4 months in the period towards 2100. This may provide new opportunities for agriculture, the agricultural sector must, however, also prepare for more plant diseases and insect pests.
A warmer climate will also affect the potential for traditional recreational activities such as cross country-skiing, especially in the lowlands.
More frequent and intense precipitation can cause problems for agriculture and increase erosion. In general, floods are expected to rise in extent, however, there are great local variations. A wetter climate will have an impact on both buildings and infrastructure, and the risks for infrastructure failure will increase. Some areas of Southern and Eastern Norway may have more summer droughts. This may have consequences for agriculture.
We also see signs of acidification in Norwegian waters, caused by increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. In the long term this may have serious consequences for organisms with calcareous shells.
Climate change and other pressures
The effects of climate change on Norway's natural environment cannot be considered in isolation from other factors. Climate change comes in addition to the destruction of habitat, the spreading of alien species, pollution and overuse of natural resources. In some instances, climate change can reinforce the negative consequences of other pressures.
Climate change connected to socio-economic development
Norwegian society has undergone considerable change in the last hundred years. Income from the oil and gas industry has resulted in a considerable increase in living standard in the last thirty to forty years, and is the main reason for Norway's favorable economic position. Norway has become one of the world's leading welfare states, and income and consumption levels have changed radically.
At the same time, oil and gas production has been the main cause of the increase in Norway's carbon dioxide emissions since 1990.
Petroleum activities, transport and industry most important sources
CO2 emissions from petroleum activities, transport and industry are the main culprits in Norway. Other sources of greenhouse gas emissions in Norway are agriculture, shipping, fisheries, heating of households and landfills.
According to figures from Statistics Norway the Norwegian greenhouse gas emissions equalled 53.9 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents in 2015.
Emissions from the oil and gas industry increased by 83 per cent since 1990, and emissions from road traffic increased by 33 per cent. However, the emissions from manufacturing industries fell by 39 per cent.
Emissions from agriculture and landfills have also gone down.
Forward looking
Up to 2020, emissions from the oil and gas industry, industry and road traffic are expected to remain at about the current level. Emissions from the oil and gas industry are expected to decline towards 2030.
CO2 tax and quota system most important instruments
There is a close relation between economic development, energy use and lifestyle and greenhouse gas emissions. The costs of reducing greenhouse gases can vary considerably from sector to sector. To a large extent the instruments are therefore a compromise between environmental and other interests.
Ninety per cent of emissions comprised by instruments
The CO2 tax introduced in 1991 is Norway's main instrument in environmental policy. In addition, a national emissions quota system for parts of the processing industry and the offshore sector, was introduced in 2005 and was expanded from 2013. This means that there are targeted instruments for approximately ninety per cent of Norwegian emissions.
Agriculture and fisheries not covered by instruments
Only agricultural emissions, which constitute approximately eight per cent of the national emissions, and fisheries, which amount to about two per cent of emissions, are not covered by any instruments.

Harwinton>> Felony animal cruelty charges are being brought against three Connecticut men for allegedly breeding cock fighting chickens in Harwinton.
Angel Nazario, 53, 381 Litchfield Road, Harwinton, Luis Buzeta, 34, 123 Lawlor St., New Britian and Hector Ortiz, 60, 142 South Cliff St., Ansonia are all facing one count of felony illegal animal fighting at Bantam Superior Court.
Ortiz and Buzeta are released from custody on a $10,000 professional surety bond, Nazario is released from custody on a promise to appear. Each man could face up to $5,000 in fines, five years in prison or both.
Connecticut State Police began investigating the Nazario's residence on Litchfield Road after a 911 hang up call in June 2009.
The call, which triggered the investigation, and ultimately the seizing and destruction of a flock of 357 birds police say were bred for cockfighting, may have been entirely inadvertent. Norma Nazario, who also lived at the Harwinton residence where the birds were kept, said she was attempting to call New York the same day the call was placed.
When Connecticut State Troopers arrived at the Nazario residence the police affidavit in court files says police observed, "numerous chicken coops surrounded by a wooden fence behind this residence." After troopers' arrival, a "Hispanic male walked out from behind this wooden fence holding an old rusty machete."
Police said that "mud-like sewage" appeared to be coming from underneath individual locked and secured cages containing roosters, and from underneath the fence. According to the affidavit, the locks may have been in place to protect "valuable" cockfighting roosters.
The birds had their combs and wattles cut off and the birds appeared irregularly aggressive with birds and humans upon inspection by a veterinarian, said police. Additionally, many of the birds were shaved and defeathered. In court documents, police say this process is so that spectators of cockfights can see which birds draws "first blood" and declare a winner.
Police said they further discovered, "Syringe, nail clippers, nail files, scales, alcohol bottles, iodine containers and what appeared to be a glue stick," which US Department of Agriculture personnel said was associated with cockfighting.
Police said "teasers" were found in the garage. The teaser are "secured around the neck of the bird as a leash for taunting the opponent bird and to train for aggression."
Although Connecticut State Police say they discovered the flock of alleged cockfighting birds in 2009, they believed US Department of Agriculture investigators were handling charges until recently. Thus Buzeta, Ortiz and Nazario were not charged until Jan. 30, 2013.
According to the affidavit, one defendant said, he "heard they fight in Waterbury." Also according to the affidavit, owner of the property, Nazario, said he, "knows their roosters are for fighting, and he lets them keep their birds here because he likes them"
Nazario has an application pending for accelerated rehabilitation. A public defender has been appointed for Buzeta. Buzeta's attorney, Lawrence Peck Jr., declined to comment on the case.

According to Marietta Police, Evans attempted to steal a cab from a Cobb County Transit station on South Marietta Parkway before she walked across the street and stole a pickup truck from a man at a nearby gas station.
When the owner of the pickup truck noticed the woman getting in the truck, he tried to stop her and was dragged a short distance before he let go. He was treated for minor injuries.
Police located the truck using the GPS system installed on it. Temple Police Sgt. James Hollowood said deputies tried to pull her over, which is when she began the chase.
Evans' children were not injured in the crash. They were taken to the Roswell Police Department and released to their father.
Evans is being held in the Carroll County Jail on more than 20 charges, including theft, reckless conduct, aggravated assault, cruelty to children, fleeing a police officer, speeding and reckless driving.

(Pocket-lint) - Of the quintet of new Panasonic digital camera releases over summer 2010, the serious yet approachable-looking Lumix DMC-LX5, in succeeding the LX3, has been the one we've been keenest to get our mitts on to take a closer look. Why? Because it's possibly the most sophisticated non-interchangeable lens compact the company has released.
With a robust metal construction, and padded leather effect detailing to the handgrip, thickened in comparison with its forebear, the LX5 feels reassuringly solid. Dimensions are a pocketable 109.7 x 65.5 x 43mm and the camera weighs 271g with battery and SD memory card.
The LX5 has design echoes of the company's impressive GF1 hybrid, yet with non-swappable bright F/2.0 lens boasting an image-stabilised 3.8x optical zoom (up from 2.5x) and a focal range equivalent to 24-90mm in 35mm terms. Coupled with a 10.1-megapixel high sensitivity CCD, a pixel count which sounds modest on the face of it, its manufacturer promised at its European press launch that the LX5 delivers unrivalled image quality. Users can choose to shoot JPEG files, unprocessed RAW files, or a combination.
Up to ISO 12800 light sensitivity is offered - the sort of spec found on semi pro digital SLRs, but with a resolution drop above ISO 3200 - and, as a further nod to sophistication, this pocket model most notably echoes the GF1 by including a vacant hotshoe plus accessory port for optional Live View finder just below.
The most obvious competition then is not only Panasonic's own hybrids, but also Canon's enthusiast targeted G-series PowerShot camera range. Yet the LX5 is a more compact and overall neater solution when gripped in the palm, with a control layout that more obviously resembles a step up from a humble point and shoots lower down the Lumix range.
Sure to catch the eye of high-end amateurs or those stepping up from said snapshots, it also ticks the boxes for attendant must haves, with a dedicated video record button on the top plate for its high-definition movie clips recorded in a choice of AVCHD Lite or even more accessible Motion JPEG formats.
Another funky feature is the ability to swap image aspect ratios on the fly, courtesy of a physical switch mounted just above the lens barrel, rather than just as a software setting buried within the menu screens. The options here are the standard digital 4:3 ratio, plus 3:2 or elongated 16:9, and more unusually 1:1. It helps the camera feel more interactive and somehow more substantial, despite the relatively slender proportions. As we indicated at the outset, this is a camera that almost screams "touch me".
Before palms start to moisten however, there's the price to consider. The LX5 is a manufacturer's suggested £449.99. Ouch. That's identical to the FZ100, which we also felt was at least £50 over-priced, and indeed found it for a more realistic £390-420 online at time of writing.
Its manufacturer part justifies the premium outlay by claiming enhancements to both the camera's 10.1-megapixel CCD and image-processing engine - the magnificently named Venus Engine FHD - over its LX3 predecessor. Together they are claimed to offer boosted dynamic range and better low light performance.
Like its Lumix siblings, the DMC-LX5 also provides an Extra Optical Zoom option accessible in 4:3 ratio with incremental resolution decreases, namely 4.5x at 7 megapixels, 5.4x at 5 megapixels and 6.7x at 3 megapixels or under.
Other Lumix regulars likewise make a re-appearance, including the "Q.Menu" (Quick Menu) button on the backplate, a press of which calls up on-screen a time-saving drop down toolbar of essential shooting functions. The screen itself is a bright, class leading 3 inches with 460k-dot resolution that provides a more life-like relay of the scene before the lens than we're used to seeing on a compact. Scene and subject recognising and optimising intelligent Auto (iA) for point and shoot operation, My Colour modes (both via a twist of the top-mounted mode dial) are also present and correct, as is the selection of film simulation modes when the shooting dial is turned to a creative mode, such as program, aperture priority, shutter priority or manual for example.
In terms of picture quality, under clear bright skies the Panasonic LX5 acquits itself extremely well, holding detail in both highlights and shadows and, if images benefit from subtle Photoshop tweaks mainly for adjusting brightness and contrast to add definition to scenes and subjects, such requirements are minimal. Dull conditions are another matter; yet if the shots start to look particularly flat, then choosing the "Expressive" option from among the camera's on-board colour modes can provide a much needed dynamic boost.
In lower lighting, images hold up well for detail up to and including ISO 1600, at which point the LX5 gives a performance comparable to what lesser snapshots can achieve at the lower ISO 800 setting. At ISO 3200 noise/grain is starting to noticeably intrude, but not at ruinous levels. As indicated, above this and there's a resolution drop to 3 megapixels to limit the appearance of such degradation, which does have the knock on effect of pictures appearing a tad painterly. Still, if shooting abstracts, it might just work.
Ultimately though it's the sharpness and clarity delivered by the bright Leica branded lens that impresses. This camera doesn't leave you with the soft, slightly murky images delivered by your standard point and shoot.
There is clearly more to this camera than immediately meets the eye, as the LX5 comes across as a veritable pocket rocket and sports the physically smaller dimensions we imagined Micro Four Thirds hybrid models would deliver, when we first saw those cameras' press shots.
All we need now is to be able to swap the optic on the front, and thus quite possibly never need to have to buy another digital camera ever again. That will probably be the case in any event, as unfortunately you will need an extension on that overdraft to be able to purchase one for the too-high price being asked on launch.

AQ Monitoring Results:
Fruitvale: Nickel at Lockwood
This page last reviewed October 19, 2010
Nickel is an odorless, silvery, dark-gray metal. It is highly ductile, and has good thermal and electrical conductivity. Nickel also exists in many compounds. California has determined under Assembly Bill 1807 and Proposition 65 that nickel and certain nickel compounds are cancer-causing compounds. Inhalation exposure to nickel refinery dust and some nickel compounds has caused nasal and lung cancer in refinery workers. Long-term exposure to nickel may cause respiratory tract irritation, immune alterations such as dermatitis ("nickel itch") and asthma. Intense exposure to nickel and nickel compound fumes may cause irritation of the respiratory tract, skin, and eyes.
Fuel combustion (residential oil, distillate oil, coke and coal) is responsible for the majority of the nickel emissions in California. The primary industrial sources that have reported nickel emissions are crude oil and gas extraction, electrical services, and national security installations. Nickel has also been detected in motor vehicle exhaust. For indoor air, tobacco smoking is the major source of nickel emissions. A single cigarette contains 1-3 micrograms (µg) of nickel. Natural sources of nickel in the atmosphere include soil, sea spray, volcanoes, forest fires, and vegetation. Wind erosion and volcanic activity contribute approximately 40% to 50% of the atmospheric nickel from natural sources.
The Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted an airborne toxic control measure in 1993 for non-ferrous metal melting operations. This control measure is expected to reduce emissions of nickel by 99%. From year 1990 to year 2000, the average nickel concentration in California has reduced approximately by 30%.
Ambient Monitoring Results
Ambient levels of nickel (including the metal nickel and the nickel in compounds) are routinely monitored at approximately
twenty sites in the California air toxics monitoring network. The statewide average concentration of total nickel
during 1998-2000 was 3.7 ng/m3 (nanograms per cubic meter), based on values ranging from 0.7 ng/m3 to 60 ng/m3.
The current routine monitor closest to Fruitvale is in Fremont. Relative to the statewide average, the Fremont
region was 27% lower, with an average concentration of 2.7 ng/m3 for the same time period.
The ambient monitoring results at Lockwood are provided here:
- A graph comparing the monthly summaries of nickel at the community with historical statewide and regional levels
- A table of summary statistics
- Raw data in Excel format
Cancer Risk
Cancer risk estimates represent the chance of excess cancer cases among a million people if the people breathe the average levels of a toxic air pollutant over 70 years. At this time, there is insufficient data to calculate the percentage cancer risk at Lockwood attributable to nickel.

One of MMA's most prolific prospects, Luis "Sapo" Santos (48-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) will make his big-show debut at Bellator 45 against judoka Nicolae Cury (4-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC).
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) learned that both fighters have agreed to the contest, and bout agreements are expected to be finalized soon.
Featuring a pair of season-four tournament finals, Bellator 45 takes place at L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, La.
As with all of Bellator's season-four events, Bellator 45 airs on MTV2.
Santos, a Finney's MMA product carries a seven-fight win streak into the machup and has won 11 of his past 12 bouts. Fighting professionally since 2000, Santos has 54 documented contests and 36 stoppage wins.
In 2008, Santos was given a one-fight look by the WEC, but a loss to Alex Serdyukov on the WEC 34 prelims sent "Sapo" back to the Brazilian regional circuit.
A black belt in both Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo, Cury is the lead judo instructor for American Top Team's flagship camp in Coconut Creek, Fla.
Cury made his professional debut with a submission win over Jorge Nouchat at the October 2008 "Elite XC: Heat" event that saw Seth Petruzelli knock out Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson. He then went on to fight three times under the Florida-based Art of Fighting promotion before his most recent outing, a decision win over Frank Carrillo for RadRok MMA Championship.

A home for homeless pets
Strays find refuge with Dent County's Animal Welfare Society
Jim McCarty
Jim McCarty
Jim McCarty
It's a quiet, sunny day in Salem, and Charlotte White sits on a picnic table outside the Dent County Animal Welfare Society, an animal shelter located in the city's industrial park. A truck pulls up and the uniformed figure of Salem's Animal Control Officer Rick Raw steps out, holding a small dog in his arms.
"That may be another one right there," Charlotte sighs. She raises her voice to reach inside above the ever-present cacophony of barking dogs. "We've got more," she yells.
Then she addresses the big man with the little dog: "That's got to be somebody's. I bet he belongs somewhere."
If Charlotte, a member of Intercounty Electric Co-op, seems a little desperate at the sight of yet another boarder at the animal shelter, it's understandable. The day has just started, but already she has brought in four new puppies to the shelter.
The population is close to the limit. "It's up now," she says. "Those that just came in are going to make it 110 dogs and 17 cats. That's about as many as we can handle."
Dent County's shelter, like most in Missouri, are seeing the numbers of unwanted, stray and abused animals increase at an alarming rate for a variety of reasons, including the sagging economy. In response, they are redoubling their efforts to find homes for these homeless pets.
"We try to ask people if they can wait a week or two until we get some out for adoption," Charlotte says. "Some will wait and some won't."
This shelter had its beginnings in 1993 when Charlotte and a group of friends banded together to help care for the growing population of lost and abandoned animals. At the time, Dent County had no shelter and the one in Salem was woefully inadequate. Charlotte applied for a grant from the Marguerite Doe Foundation in California and received $25,000 to get the shelter started.
Over the years, the small staff of four to six mostly part-time workers, assisted by people working off their court-mandated community service, has provided a home for thousands of animals awaiting adoption. In 2008, the shelter took in 773 animals, including a duck and a ferret. Their efforts have paid off with 80 percent of the animals being reunited with their owners or placed in new homes.
Hardest to place are the big dogs, says Charlotte, who has adopted 15 dogs and nine cats herself. "The biggest problem is so many people are wanting little tiny dogs. People with kids, they never want a big dog. They want a Yorkie, or a Jack Russell or a Pomeranian. Well, those are the worst kinds of dogs to have with kids. Even the best of kids are going to get excited and pretend they are a horse. And these little dogs don't like that."
Thanks to the Internet and the help of businesses such as PetSmart, animal shelters are matching pets with new owners. Twice the Dent County shelter has sent dogs to Canada after the animals were spotted on the petfinder.com Web site.
The first one Charlotte put on an airplane where it flew to its new owners. The second time the new owners drove from British Columbia to Salem to pick up a Border Collie mix they fell in love with on line.
Twice a month volunteers from the shelter bathe and groom some of their residents and take them to the PetSmart store in Brentwood, a St. Louis suburb. Many pets find new homes here, and the pet store gives $15 from every adoption made at the stores to participating shelters.
The Dent County shelter also benefits from the Pet of the Week column in the Salem News and the Weekly Trader newspapers.
Besides the growing population, finding the money to keep the shelter open remains an issue. "We have an average of $100 in every dog or cat that's adopted," Charlotte says. "I'm not even counting the food. I'm counting the vaccine, the wormer, the microchip, the surgery, heartworm test, feline leukemia, other tests. They have all that before they go out."
MFA, Wal-Mart and St. Charles-based pet food maker Royal Canin donate food to the shelter, and the local Country Mart grocery store encourages shoppers to make donations. Individual donations, sales of a shelter calendar, memorials and additional grants have helped.
Those who adopt in Salem pay $60 for dogs and $40 for cats. The adoption fee is higher in Brentwood, typically $150-$175 for dogs and $125 for cats.
Those who work at the shelter have seen a lot of hard cases come in, including a Great Dane who died when fishing line he swallowed wrapped around his intestines.
"We've had things like full-blooded dachshunds and schnauzers," Charlotte says. "They took them from puppy mills. They had never been outside a cage before."
They've been encouraged by adoption of hard-to-place pets, like a cat that had its mangled leg amputated. "She is beautiful now," says Charlotte, who recently received a photo from the cat's new owner.
They've housed a tiger that escaped from its truck-driving owner, goats and potbellied pigs. And they've worked long days with little pay, other than the satisfaction of helping animals in need.
"It wasn't something I meant to do, stay in it this long and be this involved," Charlotte says. "I guess we do it because it needs to be done."
You can contact the Dent County shelter at 573-729-3556 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The Web address is www.dcaws.org. Most Missouri animal shelters have information about pets available for adoption on www.petfinder.com.

Report Outlines Top Colleges Graduating Latino Students
A list of the top 25 colleges and universities graduating Latinos was unveiled today by Excelencia in Education, a Washington, D.C.-based national nonprofit advocating for Latino success in higher education.
The report, "Finding Your Workforce: The Top 25 Institutions Graduating Latinos" included students in 2009-2010 who completed certificates and degrees at two-year and four-year public, private, and non-profit institutions many concentrated in the South.
Among the trends revealed:
• Public colleges and universities lead in granting the most bachelor's degrees to Latinos.
• For-profits institutions are the most common route for Latinos seeking a certificate.
• At the master's level, Latinos are as likely to attend private non-profits as public colleges.
• Latinos seeking doctorates are more likely to graduate from a public school than from others.
The top 25 institutions at each academic level conferring certificates or degrees to Latinos were concentrated in 14 states. By institution type, here are the top schools:
• Certificate in less than one year - United Education Institute, Huntington Park, Calif.
• Certificate more than one year, but less than two-year course of study: Instituto de Banca y Comercio, Puerto Rico
• Associate degree - Miami-Dade College, Florida
• Bachelor's degree - Florida International University, Florida
• Master's degree - Florida International University
• Doctoral degree - University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico
In a press call this morning, Deborah Santiago, vice president for policy and research at Excelencia in Education, said that Latinos need to earn 5.5. million certificates or degrees by 2020 to meet national college-completion goals. To keep on track, that translates into 240,000 by 2010. Latinos actually earned 360,000 degrees or certificates that year, putting them ahead of schedule. "We think that's something to note of value and merit," she said. "We need to celebrate the progress, but know that more needs to be done."
Of all the postsecondary credentials awarded in 2009-2010, Hispanics represented 10 percent of graduates. At the time time, Latinos represented 12 percent of postsecondary enrollments. Latinos had higher representation at certificate levels (16-19 percent) than at graduate levels (4-6 percent.). Latinos represented almost 30 percent of all graduates from the top 25 institutions awarding degrees to Latinos, according to the report.
As the Latino population expands nationally faster than most other groups and the need for skilled workers rises, the report is one way of highlighting the need to improve educational attainment, according to Santiago. Hispanics had the highest labor force participation rate (68 percent) of any racial/ethnic group (65 percent overall). However, participation is generally in lower-paying jobs.

Ready to plug in to a 15 amp 110 v GFCI
Photo here shows 56" version of the tub, proportions may change a little on different length tubs
The '
' is a substantially constructed classic style pedestal bathtub offering an original vintage shape. This is spacious small tub with good leg room for it's size, but please check out the photos below for leg room (see photos pf person in tub). A truly beautiful bathtub finished in high gloss white acrylic exterior and interior with an easy clean slip resistant floor.
All of the 18 white air jets are positioned in the floor and will ripple up around you legs, thighs and lower back as you enjoy a lovely relaxing soak. The variable speed control allows you have a soft or more aggressive bubble massage. While the air is heated to over 115 degrees Fahrenheit, the bubbles may still feel a little cool at the start until the heater gets up to full heat. To help overcome this issue, it is a good idea to start the bubbles before you enter the bath.
While all of the jets and air hose are concealed inside the pedestal, safety regulations require that we use an anti-backflow Hartford Loop positioned at the back, outside of the tub. See photo below. If you choose a color for your tub, the Hartford Loop will be finished in the same color.
To install, all your contractor has to do is plug in the three foot of cable from the back of your tub into a standard 15 amp GFCI. In the unlikely event of blower issues, the very simple remedy is through disconnecting the water supply and drain, turning the tub over and fixing the problem.
Our CoreAcryl acrylic is designed to offer exceptional heat retention and is a substantial 3/4" thick at the lip and drain.
classic style package has everything required by your plumber to install from the floor up.

API's Jack Gerard Refuses to Answer Activists on Vote 4 Energy Advertising Costs
We'll get to the encounter with Mr. Gerard below, but first, some context:
This particular meeting of the subcommittee exposed some of the more blatant absurdities that API and their oil funded buddies in Congress like to propagate. Take gas prices - Jack Gerard likes to say "we need more American energy," by which he means we need to open up every square inch of soil and water to oil and gas extraction. His argument is that gas prices would be lower if we sacrificed our land and investment capital to Big Oil's drill.
Luckily Congressman Edward Markey was there to point out how ridiculous it is to assume anything extracted by multinational oil corporations is "American." Once multinationals like BP and Exxon get oil from American sources, it becomes their oil, to sell on the open world market for the best price. The fact is, letting companies drill for oil on American soil won't result in any drop in price at the gas pump because the amount of oil American sources would produce is miniscule in comparison to the amount consumed globally. Allowing companies like Shell to drill off Alaskan shores or in other high-risk ways wouldn't save American consumers a dime, but would add many millions of dollars to Shell's bottom line. Gerard's refusal to acknowledge this belies a truth about API that he doesn't want the public to know - the American Petroleum Institute does not want to lower gas prices for Americans, API wants to increase the political power and profits of their member organizations.
That's why Rep. Markey suggested some more appropriate labels for Gerard's group than the American Petroleum Institute; like the "World Petroleum Institute" due to multinational members like BP and Shell who will sell oil from America to the highest bidder, the "Wall Street Petroleum Institute" because Gerard and API refuse to acknowledge the role speculation plays in driving up oil prices, or the "Caymen Islands Institute", because of API's dedicated defense of tax breaks, subsidies, and other loopholes which keep oil corporations from paying their fair share.
If Gerard meant it when he said "The more transparent the discussion, the better off we'll be," he would take one of Rep. Markey's suggestions. That way the American public would know that API's attacks blaming the president for high gas prices, repeated lies about Keystone XL's affect on gas prices, or blocking rules to protect air and water from the dangers of fracking are all part of an extensive dirty energy PR campaign.
Short of re-branding his organization, Jack could at least be transparent about the amount of oil industry money he is using to influence elections through the Vote 4 Energy ad campaign. The Vote 4 Energy campaign has blanketed cable television and much of Washington DC in misleading pro-drilling, pro-fracking propaganda in an attempt to further Big Oil's political agenda by misleading voters. API wants you to vote for ExxonMobil and Shell instead of yourself.
In spite of Mr. Gerard's lip service to "transparent discussion," when we repeatedly asked him how much oil money he is using to influence the upcoming election with Vote 4 Energy propaganda, he didn't want to be part of the discussion. If Mr. Gerard is so proud of the ad campaign, why won't he talk about how much of API's $200 million budget is going toward Vote 4 Energy?
And if you haven't seen our own Vote 4 Energy commercial mocking API's prized public relations campaign, compare both Vote 4 Energy ads yourself.

How do you follow something like Hadestown? A multi-voiced, 20-track epic tale of the Greek underworld, awe-inspiring enough to have warranted a perfect ten on this very site should be almost impossible to top. Thankfully, Anais Mitchell's answer is refreshingly simple: Young Man In America. Narrowing her scope without lowering her ambition, Mitchell delivers a more traditional collection of singer-songwriter tracks, and does so without any marked drop in quality from its incredible predecessor. After all, although the narrative-based premise of Hadestown was often the opening gambit and the bottom line of most discussions about that record, it could sometimes draw focus from the album's more important strengths of musicianship, melody and lyricism. Those are the three qualities which really made that record special, and they're qualities which Mitchell has no trouble in translating to this new 11-track collection. Opening with the menacing drum beats and expanding vocal harmonies of 'Wilderland', Mitchell provides an assertive mission statement of intent, assuring the listener that she has not shot her wad, she has not run out of ideas, and that this album is as worthy a successor to Hadestown as there is likely to be.
It's easy to admire Hadestown as a jaw-dropping whole, but we would do well to recognise that it's only as impressive as it is by virtue of being a patchwork of much smaller moments of exquisite beauty. Young Man In America can be described in similar terms. Frequently sounding liberated by the absence of an overarching framework, these songs often draw strength from modesty and simplicity, packed throughout with breathtaking (and tear-jerking) flourishes of vocal agility and musicianship. Take the tender 'Coming Down' as an example, where skipping, repetitive, whispered vocals backed only by piano suddenly allow a swell of gorgeous guitar and strings to slide out from beneath the mix - providing an organic but seismic shift in texture to support the second half of the track. Elsewhere, the stripped back instrumentation of 'Dyin' Day' allows the soft chorus of harmony to sell the song's hook perfectly and without distraction. Right across the record, one-off masterstrokes of musicianship and a pitch-perfect ear for texture and arrangement provide perfect articulation of emotion for these songs.
And that's to say little of Mitchell herself, whose vocal and lyrical talents continue to dazzle, and are allowed to roam somewhat more freely without the constraints of an extended narrative. That's not to say she's lowered her sights - she's still as likely to draw from the Bible and ancient mythology as she is to give voice to a blue collar American worker - but there's a freedom and a looseness to these songs (in terms of arrangements as well as lyricism) by virtue of their being more cleanly cut standalone pieces. Heartbreaking standout 'Tailor' is the best proof that Mitchell hasn't lost any edge for lyricism either on a line-by-line level ("Now that he's gone away there isn't anyone to tell me if I'm a diamond or a dime-a-dozen") nor in her literary ability to build on a theme over the course of a song's deceptively simple melody. Being frequently combined with a stream-of-consciousness approach to structure and melody, as in the brilliantly sprawling and expansive title track, Anais' literary and melodic ambitions are always fully realised, and always work in glorious tandem.
If we must briefly and begrudgingly play devil's advocate in comparing Young Man to its predecessor, I could half heartedly mumble something about the absence of guest vocalists and genre-hopping providing variety for variety's sake, but that feels like splitting hairs to say the least. Of course, the fact that I've mentioned Hadestown in almost every paragraph of this review is indication that Young Man In America was always going to have a job on its hands to successfully stand on its own two feet, but by the time seven minute closer 'Ships' moves into its concluding crescendo of regal horns and drums, it has long since become perfectly clear that Mitchell has created a deeply affecting album which preserves everything that was so marvelous about her beloved folk-opera, and ultimately performs a very handsome job of keeping out of its vast shadow.

The lockouts at Louisville's Monarch High School and K-8 School have been lifted after an escaped patient with a mental hold from nearby Centennial Peaks Hospital was found, according to officials.
The Boulder County Sheriff's Office said the patient reportedly hopped a fence at the mental hospital on Health Park Drive. Monarch High School and its K-8 school — 329 Campus Drive — were both placed on lockout as a precaution at 12:48 p.m., according to Boulder Valley School District spokesman Briggs Gamblin.
Gamblin said at 1:06 p.m. both schools were informed that the escaped patient had been located and taken into custody and the lockouts were lifted.
During a lockout, the doors of the school are closed but activities within the school operate normally.

Kane lifts Jets past Hurricanes 4-1
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Evander Kane had a goal and three assists to lead the Winnipeg Jets past the Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Tuesday.
Kane assisted Olli Jokinen's goal in the first period and goals by Tobias Enstrom and Alexander Burmistrov in the second to help the Jets extend their lead in the Southeast Division to six points over Carolina, which is in the midst of a 0-5-1 slide.
Ondrej Pavelec had 38 saves for Winnipeg.
Kane was credited with a third-period goal when Carolina defenseman Jamie McBain swatted at the puck and knocked it into the net past Justin Peters.
Jiri Tlusty scored his 14th of the season for Carolina, which has scored one goal in each of its past five games.
Peters, making the start after injuries to Cam Ward on March 3 and Dan Ellis on Thursday, made 31 saves for the Hurricanes.
With the Jets ahead 2-1 and 3:21 left in the second period, Burmistrov was credited with a goal after shooting once, having the deflection bounce to him chest-high and then into the net. After a lengthy review, the goal stood to make it 3-1.
Enstrom blasted a shot over Peters' left shoulder at 11:31 of the second, eight seconds after Jordan Staal was called for high sticking.
Tlusty opened the scoring at 6:06 of the first. Riley Nash passed from behind the net to Tlusty, who one-timed it past Pavelec.
Winnipeg tied it at 13:44 of the first. Kane poked the puck free near the Winnipeg blue line and raced in on a 2-on-1 break. He slid the puck to Jokinen, who beat Peters for his sixth goal of the season.
NOTES: The Hurricanes placed forwards Jussi Jokinen and Tim Wallace on waivers earlier Tuesday. Jokinen has five goals and five assists in 30 games, and Wallace has one goal in 21 games. Both are minus-7 for the season. Jokinen is in the second of a three-year contract that pays $3 million a season. ... Carolina's Alexander Semin played his 500th NHL game. ... The teams played the second of four meetings in the lockout-shortened season. The remaining two games are in Winnipeg. ... The Jets improved to 10-6-2 on the road, and the Hurricanes fell to 7-9-0 at home. .. Carolina fell to 8-2-2 when scoring first. ... The Hurricanes were outscored 12-3 on their three-game homestand.

Some investors in emerging markets may have considered Argentina and moved on, judging the dangers too great, while others have lingered, courting the bond markets and their potential for higher returns. Those still on the fence might want to consider these three top challenges to investors as they make their decisions, and consider the fact that they may present opportunities as well.
1. Recession. Argentina battled its way back from a debt crisis in 2001 that saw it default on some $95 billion in bonds. While the going was tough at first after the default—the Argentine economy contracted by 4.4% in 2001 and then shrank even more in 2002, by a whopping 10.9%—it actually managed to return to growth in 2003, since which time it's averaged expansion of 6.2% annually. Not a bad accomplishment.
However, for the first time in 10 years, Argentina's steady growth has slowed enough to push the country into recession. While it grew by 3% last year, in Q4 it lost ground and the situation did not improve in January. The Argentine economy is now expected to contract by 1% in 2014, shoved in that direction in part by a currency devaluation at the beginning of the year that has led to the second threat: inflation.
2. Inflation. Argentina was chugging along relatively well until that slowdown at the end of 2013. But when the economy slowed, the country's response in January was to devalue its peso by a hefty 20% and bump up interest rates. That made things worse; it hit consumer spending hard—which in turn fueled the growing weakness in its economy.
Inflation has grown as everything from imports to houses to food has become far less affordable, and consumers have cut back, even shunning beef consumption in favor of cheaper meats—according to the Argentine agriculture ministry, beef sales in Q1 dropped by more than 5%. Economists say it's going to get worse, with predictions of the inflation level for the year ranging from 30–45%. Wages, of course, have not kept pace, so foreseeing a worsening downturn hardly needs a crystal ball.
3. High risk. This one's a bit more complex, coming as it does from a multitude of causes. Argentina has a bit of a bad name in the international community for such actions as its massive default (it's still negotiating with holdouts who refused to accept a debt restructuring that offered bonds at a 75% discount) and its seizure of Spanish oil company Repsol's stake in YPF SA, the largest producer of crude oil in the country (it also seized private pension funds and an airline a few years ago).
However, in March, after Argentina finally reached a settlement for $5 billion with Repsol over the YPF seizure and made some progress in discussions with the Paris Club over some $9.7 billion that the country still owes its member nations, it said it had received offers of loans from financial institutions that it declined to name.
Fast forward to the end of May, when Argentina reached an agreement to repay the Paris Club $9.7 billion in full over a 5–7 year period, according to Axel Kicillof, the country's economy minister. Things are looking rosier, right?
Not necessarily. Back up to February, when Argentina reached the settlement with Repsol. At the time, Antonio Brufau, Repsol's chairman, said it could take up to two years to sell off the $5 billion in bonds. On May 8, however, Miguel Martinez, Repsol's CFO, said that the company could sell them sooner if it found "a window of opportunity." The window opened, and the bonds flew out and into the coffers of JPMorgan, which bought the first package of bonds on May 9 and the rest on May 23. Then JPMorgan began to sell the bonds, which flooded the market and further depressed already-falling emerging market bond prices.
Then there's Elliot Management Corp. Billionaire Paul Singer's firm is one of the holdouts that refused to settle with Argentina at the time of negotiations on default, instead holding on and insisting on better terms than were accepted by 93% of the nation's creditors. Singer has already sued Argentina, and Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp., over rights to launch-services contracts.
The firm is also awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court about whether justices will hear arguments to uphold a lower court judge's ruling that mandates Argentina to pay the holdouts in full when it pays restructured bonds. The country has said the cost of such a payoff would be $15 billion; fears are that a Supreme Court decision not to hear the case could spark another default.
And now Elliot Management Corp.'s NML Capital claims to have found a "smoking gun" indicating that Argentina intends to default if the Supreme Court decides not to hear the case. A memo containing legal advice to Argentina's economy ministry is at the heart of NML's action.
The memo, from law firm Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, was posted by an "unauthorized" person to the Argentine website Seprin.info, and says in part, "We believe that, barring revision by the Supreme Court of the lower-court's ruling, the best option for the Republic is to permit the Supreme Court to force a default and then immediately restructure all of their external bonds such that their payment mechanism and other related aspects stay outside the reach of the American courts."
Nicholas Smithie, chief investment strategist at Emerging Global Advisors, said that Argentina is in "almost an un-investable bracket … following the nationalization of YPF and repercussions with Rebsol and Spain, [Emerging] thinks that the equity market is considered to be amongst the highest risk of all, and excludes it from eligible countries for investment."
However, Fran Rodilosso, portfolio manager of the Market Vectors taxable fixed income ETFs at Van Eck Global, had another view. While the Supreme Court decision looms, Rodilosso said, "An adverse ruling against Argentina raises risk in the market, but does not mean that they will fall into default on their outstanding debt. There's probably greater risk to bonds issued under international law rather than local law, as far as their ability to make payments."
Rodilosso characterized Argentina as "a small yet noisy part of the [investing] universe," and pointed out that there is still demand for its debt, which has "traded very well this year…. Investors don't forget, but they're willing to forgive, if you pay enough. A lot of people stayed away from Argentina on the active side for a long time, but part of what drives a rally is people chasing returns. So you see Argentina performing fairly well."

Hundreds of NEA volunteers transform Belle Chasse High School in annual 'Outreach to Teach'
Educators put down their pencils and pick up shovels for a good cause
NEW ORLEANS - June 27, 2010 -
More than 400 college students, teachers, retired educators, higher education faculty and education support professionals picked up shovels and dug in to give a needy, local school a much- needed facelift today.
The National Education Association's "Outreach to Teach" descended on Belle Chasse High School in Belle Chasse, La., where NEA members grabbed hammers, shovels, brushes and mops to repair, landscape, paint, clean and redecorate the school. Students from as far away as Hawaii participated.
The award winning "Outreach to Teach" is celebrating its 15th year of community service. Each year, a high-need public school located in the host city of the NEA Annual Meeting is selected to receive a free makeover—thanks to hundreds of NEA volunteers.
"NEA's commitment to its host city goes beyond supporting the local economy. This year we are bringing our loving attention to the needs of Belle Chasse High School," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "NEA volunteers are helping to remove the stains and repair the damages caused by housing the community and hundreds of additional students whose schools were destroyed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It is an honor to be here to help create a more positive learning environment for students and staff at this historic school."
Belle Chasse High School, "Home of the Fighting Cardinals," was founded in 1928. The original school was a single brick building. As the community began to grow, a wooden building was placed adjacent to the school. In 1958, the present facility was opened and the old brick building remodeled.
Major renovation projects included the teachers' lounge and school library.
To provide a relaxing environment during the day for busy teachers and support staff, a very special redesign of two teachers' lounges were completed. These rooms were completely refurbished. The lounges were painted, cleaned and organized. And, decorated bulletin boards gave the rooms a fresh, new look. New furniture was brought in to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Volunteers also focused their efforts on the school library. The library was updated with fresh paint, tables and chairs, and new rugs. The library now houses a small lounge section, inviting students to sit down with a good book.
Helping make these redesign projects possible were two hometown-based companies—HMS Architects, a recognized leader in providing creative design; and Sizeler, Thompson, Brown Architects, one of Louisiana's oldest and largest architectural firms. HMS Architects lent its expertise in the redesign of the teachers' lounges while Sizeler, Thompson, Brown Architects revamped the school library.
Landscaping was provided by Louisiana-based Green Parrot Nursery and Garden Center. The garden center, provided sod, rubber mulch and stadium seating for the outside courtyard. Ten citrus trees were also donated to the school.
"Many of our students think the world forgot about them in 2005. NEA's 'Outreach to Teach' program has countered that message by investing in our school," said Belle Chasse High School Principal Leeland Lee. "Words cannot express our gratitude from the students, the staff and the parents!"
"Outreach to Teach" began in 1996 as a beautification project to give back to schools. Past sites have included Atlanta, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Since its inception, participation has increased by more than 1,000 percent.
"'Outreach to Teach' is an amazing program that is the quintessential to our generation—community outreach," said NEA Student Program Chair Jermaine Coleman. "It's not enough for us to only be in the classrooms. We also want to be a part of the community. I'm very proud to be a part of it once again."
"The work by our student and retired members has served as an inspiration for meaningful volunteerism," NEA-Retired President Barbara Matteson. "The work we have done here today will impact the lives of students for years to come. We are proud to be a part of this program."
Other generous donations were made by the following contributors: 3Form, AOS, Arnold Associates, CAI, Cameron Jones, Crystal, Curtis Stout Lighting, Designtex, DKI, E. Byrd and Associates, Inc., Glen Jones, Assoc., Global Furniture, Helm Paint, InterfaceFlor Carpet, Metal Graphics, NEA-Rhode Island, Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff's Office, Paul Bencel Citrus Nursery, and Teachers Association of Baltimore County.

Why giving back matters
Finding volunteer opportunities is one of the best ways to feel at home and connect with people in your new community. Volunteering can help you meet new neighbors, make new friends and network with new people.
Even more importantly, giving back gives you the chance to create real and lasting change, to make a difference in people's lives, and to be part of something bigger than yourself.
How can I give back in my community?
Use these six ideas to get started in your own neighborhood:
- Find the issues that move you and inspire you to act.
- Assess your skills and abilities, and be honest about what you can offer.
- Look for opportunities and causes that could also stretch you a bit.
- Prevent burnout by leaving time for friends, family and yourself.
- Bring along your friends and family to make the experience even better, and to help the cause even more.
- Do some research to see how your time and energy can make an impact.
When you make a real difference, you'll feel a part of the community.
At State Farm, helping people is at the core of who we are and what we do, and we've made it easier than ever to give back. Visit Neighborhood of Good® to choose a cause that matters to you, and type in your ZIP code to find local opportunities in your area.

What Positions Should Pregnant Women Sleep In?
I'm 7 months pregnant. Is there a certain position I should be sleeping in at night?
– Sarah
Lying on your side with your knees bent is probably the most comfortable position to sleep in. Many doctors specifically recommend lying on your left side for improved circulation. Lying on your left will keep the weight of the uterus off your liver and the large vein that carries blood back to the heart from your feet and legs.
If you have difficulty staying on your side, talk to your doctor for suggestions. He or she may suggest that you use a pillow to keep yourself propped up on one side.

Rather burnt to a crisp here, coming out of Los Angeles, and not sure I'll be playing much of anything this weekend as I recover my mental faculties from E3. There's still a lot left to say from what we saw down there, and it's hard to break out of mental note-taking, since you can't write and play at the same time.
When things finally slow down for me on Sunday I suspect I'll put some more work back in to Diablo III and Max Payne 3. NCAA Football 13, though it was playable on the floor at E3, has just released its demo. I'll want to see how close they match.
But there's also something to be said for just spending my down time on the couch feeling time pass slowly after one of the fastest weeks on the work calendar. I don't mean for this to sound like I'm asking for sympathy; E3 is a privilege and anyone with the means should go. But if you're working, you are working, if you're doing it right. I come home with criticism fatigue and just need to unplug for a while. I'll likely be playing a big nap simulator. What are you playing this weekend?
