Members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) announced Friday that an “overwhelming majority” of the 41-member caucus opposes President Obama’s compromise plan with Republicans to extend the Bush-era tax rates.
“Any extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans is just a non-starter,” said Virginia Democratic Rep. Robert Scott, a CBC member.
Caucus members said they have the strongest reservations about Obama’s agreement to extend current tax rates for households earning more than $250,000 annually and the proposal to set the estate tax at 35 percent for assets worth beyond $5 million. CBC Chairman Barbara Lee of California said the plan could place an unfair burden on the working class to reduce the national deficit.
“We are extremely concerned that the cuts that could be made should this package pass would disproportionally hurt the poor and low income communities and further erode the safety net,” she said.
The group plans to release its own proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy, which they said would cost half of the estimated $858 billion price tag of the original plan. In part, the CBC proposal would extend unemployment benefits, guarantee that Social Security funding will not be reduced and includes a two-year extension of the tax rates for households earning less than $250,000 annually.
“You can’t give everybody a tax cut like it’s Oprah Winfrey or Santa Claus: ‘You get a tax cut, you get a tax cut.’ Eventually, somebody’s going to have to pay for it,” said Scott.
Beyond the deficit concerns, CBC members said they were worried that this would be “the first step” in a Republican-led effort to defund government programs, especially the health care overhaul.
“This just gives our Republican colleagues another chance to play ‘Gotcha,'” said CBC member Donna Christensen, a delegate from the Virgin Islands. “If we extend the upper end tax cuts and add that big estate tax giveaway, then when we move to fun implementation of the Affordable Care Act, there will be no money. Gotcha.”
There were also worries that this could be the last chance Democrats would have to raise taxes for years.
“We have already established the principle that failure to extend the tax cut constitutes a tax increase. And if we can’t cut them off now, what is the chance that we’re going to be able to increase taxes in the middle of a presidential congressional election?” Scott asked. “The Tea Party will be intimidating all the Republicans into getting in line to make these things permanent.”
House Democrats this week agreed to a non-binding resolution to oppose Obama’s plan, which is likely to be voted on in the Senate next week. Lee said that a majority of the CBC “would not vote for it” if the current proposal were brought to the House floor today, adding that “there are a variety of legislative strategies and options that we’re considering.”
“At this point we don’t know exactly how this will play out,” she said.

One of the most highly anticipated horror films of the year, scratch that, the decade is now filming in Atlanta. After a decade of waiting and begging, fans will finally get to see the sequel to Zombieland. Titled Zombieland: Double Tap, the flick sees director Ruben Fleischer and the four main stars, Woody Harelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin reunite for another round of zombie slaying.
During this week’s SXSW, Harelson and Eisenberg gave some insight into the film, Bloody-Disgusting points out.
What we’ve shot so far, I’m really impressed with,” Harrelson told EW in an interview. “Getting to hang out with these guys — Emma, and Abbie, and Jesse, and Ruben — I feel so lucky, really, really lucky. You know, it’s literally laughing all day long, and that’s your job. Like, my job is, I laugh all day long? It seems unbelievable. So, I feel really lucky right now.”
It’s going really well. Just resting on our laurels and really cocky [laughs]. No, the opposite. We’re working so hard. It’s one of these movies that, people loved it for personal reasons. So it’s not just a big hit movie. People love it for personal reasons so you want to make sure it’s as funny and as personal as the other one.” Eisenberg told Movie Web,
Zoey Deutch, Avan Jogia, Luke Wilson and Rosario Dawson have joined the cast of Zombieland: Double Tap.
In the sequel, “through comic mayhem that stretches from the White House and through the heartland, the zombie slayers must face off against many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.”
The script was penned by the original film’s writers, Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who will also serve as executive producers. Gavin Polone is also returning to produce the film.
Return to Zombieland on October 11, 2019.

Elizabeth (Betty) Laidman
Passed peacefully on May 21st 2012, at Vernon Jubilee Hospital after a brief illness.
Predeceased by her late husband, David Laidman, loving mother of Peter Armitage (Barb) of Newfoundland, Jean Blackwell (Don) of Australia, and Julie Armitage (Vernon), grandmother of Pascal, Natalie, Meagan, Ainslie, Baptiste and Isolde, great grandmother to nine, special aunt to Leslie Chambers (Drew) and Doug Elton (Lori) and mother-in-law to Normand Belanger, loving cousin to Bob Sayce and other Welsh relatives, loving friend to so many, especially Diane Isman, and good friend to Mike Poirier.
Born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, 1928, Betty spent most of her childhood in Vancouver, B.C., where she attended University Hill School and UBC. It was while working at the UBC library in the late 1940s that she met her first husband Doug Armitage and her special sister-in-law, Jean. Her library work at the university generated a life-long interest in library science, and lead to future employment as an assistant librarian at Vernon Senior Secondary School.
In 1976 she married her beloved David Laidman, a Vernon lad she met while at UBC. Betty and Dave enthusiastically pursued many mutual interests including natural history and conservation through the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, international travel, outdoor recreation, community arts, and life on the shores of Okanagan Lake.
Betty had a wonderful sense of humour and was extremely gregarious which enabled her to build lasting friendships with many people she met during her travels. Great Britain, Mongolia, Russia, China, the Mediterranean, Australia, Newfoundland, Labrador, and Austria were some of the countries she travelled to. For many years one of her favourite destinations was the Cook Islands where she fell in love with the warm coral waters and local residents. She had first explored the Islands with David, which made them especially important. Betty last visited there in February 2012.
The whole family would like to thank Ted Jordan and Ron Long for the wonderful care they gave her over the years. Ted was more than a doctor to her; he was also a close friend, confidant and relative through marriage. The family would also like to thank Dr. Murphy and the nursing staff at ICU, 2 West and Emergency at Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their immense compassion and phenomenal care. A special thank you to Diane Isman and Mike Poirier for all their support.
You may join the family for a special celebration of Betty’s life at the Schubert Centre, on Sunday, 27 May 2012, starting at 2:00 pm. A memorial service will be followed by a reception to give thanks to Betty for all that she has given her family, friends and community over the years, and to thank everyone for their love, support and friendship.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation, 2101-32nd Street, Vernon, B.C., V1T 5L2 (http://www.vjhfoundation.org/forms/donate.aspx?RD=1), the Canadian Cancer Society, #104, 3402 – 27th Avenue, Vernon, B.C., V1T 1S1 or to a charity of your choice.
Condolences may be e-mailed to the family by way of firstname.lastname@example.org or the Facebook page, “Betty Laidman Memorial Page.”
To Betty — from Peter, Jean and Julie
Good Bye dear Mom. We love you with all our hearts and we’ll miss you terribly!
Arrangements have been entrusted to:
PLEASANT VALLEY FUNERAL HOME

Harrell leads Louisville to 82-58 victory over Temple
After a nine day layoff and an extra night in Philadelphia, Rick Pitino and the Cardinals have decided to go with a new look. The coaching staff and players will not shave until they lose.
On Friday night, the thirteenth ranked Cardinals kept their razors covered with a convincing 82-58 victory over Temple.
“It’s been a long time. It’s a good stretch. We all said, ‘Let’s have some fun. Let’s grow beards until we lose.’ It’s the first time in my life that I’m trying to grow a beard,” Pitino said.
Montrezl Harrell finished with a career high 22 points and added 10 rebounds, Harrell’s sixth double-double of the season.
Louisville was in control throughout the entire first half, going on a 10-0 and 17-2 run, leading 52-27 at halftime.
Russ Smith scored 15 points on 7 of 10 shooting. Wayne Blackshear added 13 points.
Luke Hancock connected with three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points.
Louisville (20-4) remained undefeated in conference road games this year, and returns home to play Rutgers on Sunday.

Axel’s Chain Reaction teaches readers about kinetic sculptures and about the struggles of being different from the other kids at school. This quality book offers interactive activities, additional activities to extend the learning experience and more.
- Additional activities
- Page index
- Story narration
Axel’s Chain Reaction is a high quality book with many of the features we look for in a book app. For the most part, the user interface is easy to use, but could use a little better organization on the main page; making the play buttons more obvious and the buttons for everything else a little less obvious.
In addition to the story, which teaches children about kinetic art and the struggle to fit in at school, the interactive activities included in the story, hands-on activities, glossary and the kinetic artists section are great for extending the learning experience.
One important feature missing in this high quality book app is text highlighting during the narrated option.
Alex’s Chain Reaction contains elements such interactivity, quality graphics and good storyline to keep the reader from becoming bored. The hands-on activities and protected external links for video clips and additional information go a long way in ensuring the longevity of the app on a family’s device.
This high quality app is a great value at less than three dollars. With all of the extras, and more promised in a future update, Axel’s Chain Reaction is so much more than just a book.
While the external links support the educational experience and are protected they do take the user out of the app to You Tube and other sites. Parents may want to supervise use of the links. Ideally, all content would keep the user in the app or provide a method for easily returning to the app.
This heartwarming book contains multiple educational opportunities for a great price.

At the end of 2020, Donuts acquired Afilias and its registry business. The two companies continued to operate and are now uniting under one brand name called Identity Digital. The rebrand was introduced in a press release this morning.
Identity Digital uses the Identity.Digital domain name for its website. The company also acquired IdentityDigital.com, which forwards to the .Digital domain name. Interestingly, it looks like the company had to privately acquire the Identity.Digital domain name in April or May of this year as it had been owned by a Spanish company, according to the DomainTools Whois History tool.

Acute Severe Anaphylaxis in Nepali Patients with Neurotoxic Snakebite Envenoming Treated with the VINS Polyvalent Antivenom.
Sharma SK., Alirol E., Ghimire A., Shrestha S., Jha R., Parajuli SB., Shrestha D., Shrestha SJ., Bista A., Warrell D., Kuch U., Chappuis F., Taylor WRJ.
Diagnosing and treating acute severe and recurrent antivenom-related anaphylaxis (ARA) is challenging and reported experience is limited. Herein, we describe our experience of severe ARA in patients with neurotoxic snakebite envenoming in Nepal. Patients were enrolled in a randomised, double-blind trial of high vs. low dose antivenom, given by intravenous (IV) push, followed by infusion. Training in ARA management emphasised stopping antivenom and giving intramuscular (IM) adrenaline, IV hydrocortisone, and IV chlorphenamine at the first sign/s of ARA. Later, IV adrenaline infusion (IVAI) was introduced for patients with antecedent ARA requiring additional antivenom infusions. Preantivenom subcutaneous adrenaline (SCAd) was introduced in the second study year (2012). Of 155 envenomed patients who received ≥ 1 antivenom dose, 13 (8.4%), three children (aged 5-11 years) and 10 adults (18-52 years), developed clinical features consistent with severe ARA, including six with overlapping signs of severe envenoming. Four and nine patients received low and high dose antivenom, respectively, and six had received SCAd. Principal signs of severe ARA were dyspnoea alone (n=5 patients), dyspnoea with wheezing (n=3), hypotension (n=3), shock (n=3), restlessness (n=3), respiratory/cardiorespiratory arrest (n=7), and early (n=1) and late laryngeal oedema (n=1); rash was associated with severe ARA in 10 patients. Four patients were given IVAI. Of the 8 (5.1%) deaths, three occurred in transit to hospital. Severe ARA was common and recurrent and had overlapping signs with severe neurotoxic envenoming. Optimising the management of ARA at different healthy system levels needs more research. This trial is registered with NCT01284855.

Proceedings of the ninth biennial southern silvicultural conference
The Ninth Biennial Southern Silvicultural Research Conference was held February 25-27, 1997 on the campus of Clemson University in Clemson, SC. This conference was the latest in a series of meetings designed to provide a forum for the exchange of research information among silviculturists and researchers in related areas, research coordination, review of research in progress, and new approaches or techniques of general interest. The conference consisted of four concurrent sessions over 2 days, a poster session, and two concurrent field tours on the third day. Presentations covered a wide array of topics related to silvics and silviculture. They emphasized research in pine, hardwood, and mixed-species forests. Field trips included (1) a view of over 40 years hardwood regeneration research at the Bent Creek Research and Demonstration Forest and (2) numerous topics related to management and research on the Clemson Experimental Forest. This was the largest conference of the series with 154 oral and poster presentations and 351 registered participants.

In a display of considerable military power, hundreds of Israel Air Force planes simulated strikes on distant enemy targets such as Iran’s controversial nuclear sites.
The drill included various fighter jets and refuelling aircraft needed for such a complex potential military operation far from the Jewish state’s borders. The massive aerial exercise constitutes a part of the Israel Defense Forces’ month-long drill, Chariots of Fire, which is the largest military exercise in the Jewish state’s history and involves most units of the Israeli army.
Israeli Channel 13 News reported earlier that the U.S. Air Force was expected to participate by refuelling planes in the massive Israeli aerial drill. However, the U.S. Central Command denied any American participation, stressing that “there is no direct US military involvement in that exercise.”
The unconfirmed reports of the alleged American participation were also denied by a Pentagon spokesperson, according to The War Zone online magazine.
On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz inspected Israeli forces in Cyprus simulating a war with Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Gantz thanked the Cypriot hosts but simultaneously warned Israel’s enemies.
“The IDF is constantly preparing for operations and various campaigns, in various theatres, and will inflict a severe blow on anyone who seeks to threaten the citizens of the State of Israel,” said Gantz.
In recent months, Israel has invested massive resources in upgrading its aerial strike capabilities to develop a credible military response should international diplomacy fail to stop Iran in its race toward acquiring nuclear weapons. In October 2021, Israel reportedly approved a massive $1.5 billion budget, earmarked for preparing a potential military strike on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. If an Israeli prime minister eventually orders a military strike against Iran, Israel’s new F-35 fighter jets are expected to play a prominent role in such a complex military operation.
In March, the Israel Air Force received three additional F-35 jets from the United States. The Jewish state currently has 33 F-35 jets and its growing fleet is expected to reach 50 by 2024. In addition, the Israel Air Force also has some 175 F-16 fighter jets and around 80 F-15 jets.
To date, Israel is the only country in the world to have ever targeted and successfully neutralized nuclear reactors belonging to enemy states. The Jewish state successfully destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981 and a Syrian nuclear reactor in 2007. However, a potential strike on Iran is widely considered far more complex, mainly due to the vast distance to the targets and the fact that the Iranians have dispersed their nuclear assets, partly underground, across a vast territory.
In an exclusive interview with ALL ISRAEL NEWS, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who ordered the Syria strike in 2007, told Editor-in-Chief Joel C. Rosenberg that he does not support a unilateral Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities and prefers coordination with Washington.
Iran’s ayatollah regime has repeatedly threatened to wipe the Jewish state off the map. Israel, therefore, views Iranian nuclear bombs as an existential and unacceptable threat.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett inspected Israel’s newly developed cutting-edge Iron Beam Laser System which is currently being tested by Israeli defense company, Rafael. The Iron Beam is considered the world’s first energy-based defensive weapons system with a laser capable of shooting down incoming rockets and UAVs at a cost of merely $3.50 per shot. By comparison, each missile fired by Israel’s advanced Iron Dome aerial defense system costs tens of thousands of dollars.
"Rafael's laser system is a strategic game changer for the State of Israel and the world as well, a system that already today knows how to shoot down mortar rounds, UAVs and rockets,” Bennett said.
The Israeli premier described the Iron Beam Laser System as a game-changing weapon.
“This is a game changer because we cannot only strike the enemy militarily but also weaken it economically. Until today it would cost us a lot of money to intercept every rocket," Bennett said. "Today they can invest tens of thousands of dollars in a rocket and we can invest $2 to cover the cost of the electricity in shooting down the rocket. We are galloping forward towards our enemies in order to ensure security for the State of Israel. We are now in a period of stable security but are strategically prepared – in every aspect – for any scenario."

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has been criticized by some in Big Ag for his promotion of small-scale farmers and local food systems. And yet–he has been passionately defending conventional producers conventional producers recent Senate hearings. As well as small-scale farmers. Some are upset with Vilsack’s centrist attitude, but Vilsack says that his approach embraces all agriculture and is not about choosing sides, “I have two sons,” he says, “and I love them both.”
In his defense of conventional agriculture, Vilsack emphasized the “exciting potential” of using agricultural waste for biofuels, which he has described as the “key to revitalizing the economy.” Vilsack has also asserted that we owe farmers thanks for how little Americans pay for food, saying that while the average American spends about 10% of their income on food, other developed countries pay closer to 25% or 30%. [To listen, click here.]
At the same time, Vilsack continues to strongly defend small and mid-scale farms and local food systems. In an exchange with Senate Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Saxby Chambliss, Vilsack was asked where production agriculture and commodity crops fit into USDA’s focus on the five pillars for the next farm bill (regional food systems, rural broadband, renewable energy, conservation and ecosystem market incentives). Vilsack responded by acknowledging the importance of global trade markets, but also by defending local food systems:
“It’s also about expanding domestic markets, and creating opportunities. That’s one of the reasons why we are focused on trying to better link local production with local consumption; this is not just about very very small operations. This is about production agriculture. The ability of schools, institutional purchasers of food, to be able access things locally. Sometimes you’d be surprised that there are folks in small communities who are purchasing food from far far away that don’t realize or appreciate what’s being grown and raised in their area. That’s why we’re focusing on trying to rebuild the supply chain with local slaughter facilities and mobile slaughter facilities with storage facilities, also creating job opportunities.” [To listen to Vilsack’s response, click here].
Can Vilsack promote the local food system while still supporting Big Ag? Post your comments below.

Adorable video chat
Over on Indiegogo, the founders of this new company are trying to raise money for their creation, "the world's first real kiss transfer device."Using the devices pictures (and a USB connection), one user sends a kiss to the other.
According to the press release, "Touching another person can help people feel loved, secure, and less anxious.
The majority of the changes are to Snapchat's chat function, which hadn't changed much since it rolled out in May 2014.
While other messaging apps like Facebook Messenger and Whats App continued to redesign and add new functions pretty frequently, Snapchat focused on other aspects — most notably, the introduction of geofilters and lenses, praised be their name.
(We've done a tutorial on how to use the new video chat here, and a more general tutorial on how to get the update here.)Unlike other video services, you can send text and photos during a video chat, including some seriously adorable stickers.
Currently, there are 11 different sticker sets illustrating everything from hardworking walruses, to frowny sunflowers, to "leetle seedlings" guaranteed to make you flail with happiness.
This pale lil cutie is flexible as hell and we get to watch as she explores sucking cock and getting her pussy stuffed with hard cock.Its display is indeed pretty useful, as its adds additional context and visual information. And yet, its current 0 asking price feels high for what's essentially a smart alarm clock, especially when the Echo Show costs only more and has better audio quality.We still really like the Echo Spot, but we'd hold off and wait for the price to come down.Just when you thought you got the hang of last fall's new Snapchat update, there's a new new Snapchat update to keep you up at night.
If you've spent the last 24 hours in a haze of confusion — what is Snapchat Chat 2.0, how do you use Snapchat stickers, and why can't we just go back to My Space? The update has brought about some major changes to everyone's favorite face-swapping/rainbow puking tool, but fortunately, they're not terribly difficult to grasp.However, Snapchat Chat 2.0 pretty much overhauls the chat system, introducing six new features that will remind that technology is effing amazing.

My Hope for a Better Tomorrow
2018, High School, Prose
My name is Simon Wilguens, and I have lived in my home country of Haiti for my entire life. In fact, my family has lived on the island in our small village of Lacoma for many generations. My great ancestors were taken from Africa centuries ago to harvest the French sugar crop. Despite the numerous issues such as poverty that strikes our country, we still call Haiti our home. My family and I live a quaint, humble life growing our own food to survive. I remember when I was a young lad, my grampy would tell me of the days when the harvest was bountiful – enough to feed the whole village. Today, that is no longer the case, and we can barely produce enough food for our own survival. The land and sea that once provided for us now seemingly have turned against us at the hand of man and have begun to make us question our survival.
Things have been tough in our small village, and it seems that each year, conditions only worsen. The ocean that borders our village creeps higher and higher, slowly growing closer to our only fresh water source: a small pond on the edge of our village. Roads in this area of the country are non-existent as mudslides and flooding have made them inaccessible. Even if there was a way out, we would have no place to go as all the surrounding villages face the same struggles (Sutter). Every day I watch the suffering of my neighbors to their illnesses, as the healthcare is poor. We have no doctors and little opportunity to go elsewhere should we need professional assistance. I have witnessed many members of my own family die, including my grandfather, father, and perhaps most chillingly, my only son, Daniel.
When I was a young boy, my papa, my grampy, and I would set out in February to prepare the fields for planting season. The soil was always at its riches, and promised a successful harvest. We would anxiously await the first drops of rain; oh, how they were beautiful! We cherished the beautiful, life-giving water that arrived with the coming of April! When the time came, we planted our crops of coffee and rice, and mama would watch from the window as she attended to the house. From there, mama would dream of the day when we could harvest our crop and make our journey to the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic to trade our harvest. It was our only source of income, and without it we most certainly would starve (Abraham).
My family and I have spent plenty of years tending to our crops, just as generations before have done, but every year we harvest fewer and fewer crops. The life-giving rain that once brought joy is feared during the wet season; bellowing through our village and felling trees throughout the forest. Giant waves crash upon the shore, blowing the ocean’s salt water into our freshwater pond. But worst of all, it fails our crops. The fallen crops drown in the waterlogged soil, withering away at the mercy of the water that once brought them life. And as time goes on, the great storms only do more and more damage, until one day, we predict, it will wash away the whole island. During the dry season, the contrary is true and my village is plagued with blistering temperatures, infertile soil, and the most feared drought season (Abraham). The success of our crops feels as if it is left to chance, but before long we fear that there will be no good growing season left to produce crops and provide a source of reliable income. This was not always the case, as weather patterns have noticeably changed. There are many people who say that this shift is a result of the people irresponsibly using the land and burning the charcoal, which powers our nation; an ever-dwindling resource. This issue is not only exclusive to us, but also throughout the entire country where deforestation has become an ever-growing issue (Janvier).
From time to time, researchers in white lab coats from faraway places visit to do research in our village. They sample the water from the ocean and from our pond, each time with more and more growing concern. They explain to us how the ocean is rising, both in temperature and water level, and how it can have catastrophic effects on our village (“Climate”). They tell us tales of how other, less fortunate villages have been washed away because of the ocean, and how they fear ours could possibly be next. My family was stricken with fear, but we were stubborn. I refused to abandon the village and the few people that still lived with us here in Lacoma; after all, it is all I had ever known.
The people in my village grew ever-more concerned for their future as it seemed everything that we needed for survival was slowly being overtaken by changes to our land as a result of destructive weather. After our crops had been wiped out from the mighty hurricanes that passed through our village, we became reliant on the water for providing fish that we would eat. Soon enough, however, the fish seemingly disappeared, and the fishermen of the village would return, empty handed, with no catch to eat. We considered venturing out towards more urban areas, but the researchers said that fishing there would bring no more bounty. They spoke of how the populations of fish, especially around cities, were shrinking in size as a result of the factories and boats that populated the few Haitian cities. These machines released dangerous toxins in the water and were described as resulting in a change of the ocean’s acidity. It was noted that if the acidity went low enough, the condition could kill entire species of fish. This horrific cycle of death was said to continue all the way until the issues of acidity slowly meandered its way up to our village on the North coast of the country, where our resources coming from the sea surely would be eradicated (“Ocean”).
The fish that we relied on so much was not the only part of the ocean where my people have noticed a change. The ocean creeps closer and closer to our village, pulling more and more dirt and rocks out to sea. The researchers in our village call this erosion, and they said that it poses an enormous threat should it continue at this same rate for years to come. It would be as if our village would be taken by the sea, leaving us with nowhere left to live. This issue is not uncommon to just our village, however, as the researchers say that erosion has been causing problems all around Haiti and other coastal areas (“Environment”). Being a struggling island nation, Haiti has been left vulnerable to the consequential effects of climate change, and without a supporting government to aid in our ever-declining state, chances of survival can sometimes feel slim (Slagle and Rubenstein).
We learned how the factories caused the weather to change. This bewildered us as it was incomprehensible to see how anyone could change the weather. But, alas, it was possible. The researchers told us how gases such as carbon dioxide, which the factories released in incredibly large amounts, worked to keep heat within the Earth’s sky and oceans. This gas ‘traps’ heat from the sun and ultimately warms whatever medium it is stored in (Janvier). An increased temperature both in our sky and ocean seemingly results in a more intense storm system, each becoming more and more powerful than the last. We also see a larger number of storms approaching our island as the warm water that surrounds us is a harboring place for them. With each passing storm, we lose more and more of both our crops and shoreline until one day we inevitably will have neither. They were right, the people in the lab coats – they warned us that if changes were not made, our final days would be quickly approaching.
In the middle of one stormy night, the researchers awoke the village screaming cries of nervous fear, signaling for the villagers to enter their newly constructed bunker. We watched through the small porthole-esque windows as the wind surged by, leveling the forest around our village, while also rapidly eroding away the little stretch of land that separated our only freshwater source from the undrinkable seawater. The researchers were scurrying about, bouncing between flashing computer screens and telephones, attending to flashing lights of various colors and beeping alarms.
The space we were crammed into was no longer than the rear of a tractor trailer. Once the scientists had stopped buzzing about between their many phones, computers, and other such devices, they began to explain how these and many other previous storms were caused by a global shift in our climate. The researchers have been studying our village for months to measure the impact of the adverse effects of what they called global warming, and what they found was more alarming than what anyone had predicted. All the while, the people of our village, crammed into the terribly small bunker, were all left with the same questions pummeling through our minds: “Why hadn’t we done more?” and “Why isn’t anyone helping us?”
They explained to us how a storm they called Hurricane Matthew had moved through our village, and in its wake, left an unimaginable amount of damage. There were many villages, including my own, that lost entire fields’ worth of crops, which left us with no food. The terrible storm surges that battered the land also left us with no drinkable water. The ferocious winds blew immense volumes of salty seawater over the small dam protecting our water source from the ocean, ultimately contaminating it indefinitely. We were beyond fortunate to have the researchers residing in our village as they were able to provide the essential rations to my people. Matthew pounded through our country leaving more than 200,000 homes destroyed and left the few standing bridges uncrossable (Sutter). This destruction made our country virtually unnavigable as there is, to this day, poor infrastructure, and many of the few roads that exist have been washed away or destroyed by storm surges or extreme instances of flooding (Jones).
The scientists, not only in our village but also around the world, credit Matthew’s intensity to the ever-growing truth of climate change. They warn us how we must limit our consumption of fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Unfortunately for my poor home country of Haiti, we rely heavily on coal as it is cheap and plentiful throughout the region. The cities and their factories send massive volumes of fossil fuel byproduct called greenhouse gases into the air. These greenhouse gases come in many forms, but one of the most abundant, and detrimental, forms of them is carbon dioxide, which gets trapped within the atmosphere and resultantly warms our planet and oceans. The researchers in my village say that if we don’t stop the pollution of our atmosphere with greenhouse gasses, storms will only continue to grow in intensity and size. This would be devastating to our fragile country of Haiti, where we are oftentimes left defenseless against the relentless and merciless paths of hurricanes. The future would be devastating, not only to the people of my country, but also to millions of other people that lie within the hurricanes’ vicious paths (Jones).
Today our oceans are warmer than ever, and as a result of the carbon dioxide in the air being absorbed into the ocean, more acidic as well. It is this ever-increasing temperature that causes the many storms that pass to increase in magnitude and intensity, all the while wreaking havoc in my country. Warm ocean water provides the extra energy that storm systems need to increase the intensity of their winds and causes issues involving sea levels and the currents, ultimately destroying our shorelines and quite possibly, one day, the island where Haiti sits today (Slagle and Rubenstein).
Hopefully, one day, the successors of our village will adjust their ways, avoiding the terrors that are the radical changes in our climate. One day I hope for them to go out to the field and prepare the crops for plentiful harvest in the fertile soil. I hope sea levels return to their original levels and that our coastlines become sage again. I hope people learn to nurture and love the land, oceans, and earth and that the water is celebrated, not feared. Education on the subject is critical, and I hope that one day more efforts are made to teach the world’s citizens about the dangers of climate change. This is my hope for a better tomorrow.

While working on this fictional story of a young man living in Haiti, I was able to educate myself about the true effects of climate change on people in vulnerable regions. It never truly occurred to me how devastating and what a hardship climate change is, and how much worse it will become if something is not done. Unfortunately, many underdeveloped countries do not have the financial and governmental stability to make the necessary changes to take preventative action. This cycle quite sadly causes climate change to rapidly spiral out of control and make life extremely tough for many impoverished countries. Writing a story about the fictitious Simon Wilguens and the direct impact of climate change on his life and the lives of those in his village helped me reflect on how we should all pitch in to end or reverse the effects of climate change. Global warming has a negative impact on our atmosphere and oceans. It also has the potential to eventually end much of the life that currently thrives on our planet. Outside of impoverished and unstable countries such as Haiti, much of the world is preparing to take action against climate change through agreements such as the Paris Climate Accord. I can only hope that more of the world realizes the importance of reversing climate change, and how its negative effects can eventually lead to a grim future. Education is key to preventing the effects of climate change.

A thief who repeatedly stole turkey joints from a Farmfoods store in Hull has been jailed for three years.
Hull Crown Court heard Lee had also targeted a five-bedroom home a month earlier where he smashed a patio door to gain entry.
The couple who owned property returned home at around 7pm on September 11 and became concerned when they noticed a light in the library was switched on.
“The couple had been out of their house for an hour,” said prosecuting barrister Eddison Flint. “They left it secure and returned home after 7pm.
“As they approached the home a light they didn’t leave on was illuminating.”
To sign up for the Hull Live newsletter, click here.
The couple entered the property through the back door when they heard movement upstairs.
As they entered the hallway, Lee was walking down the staircase with a carrier bag in hand and tried to make his way past the couple to escape.
“The home owner hit him on the back of the head with his arm,” said Mr Flint. “There was a struggle with the defendant in the library. Both men fell to the floor.”
The struggle escalated into the kitchen and the garden where Lee managed to escape through some bushes.
Lee left the carrier bag inside the property which contained toiletries and a purse. He had also stolen a Webley air pistol worth £50 and a knife in a sheath that was kept in a bedside cabinet.
Lee had both these weapons in his possession when he wrestled with the home owner but did not brandish them during the struggle.
Since the burglary, the couple say they have become “more wary and much more anxious” when leaving their home, despite the security measures in place there.
“Whenever I return home I am worried about discovering another break-in,” the victim said.
A remorseful Lee, who appeared via video link from Hull prison, said “that’s horrible” when he heard the their statements.
The couple had to pay £120 to repair the damage to the patio door which Lee smashed to gain entry.
A month later, the defendant went to Farmfoods on four occasions, the first occurring on October 19 when he walked into the store and took two turkey joints before leaving without paying.
He returned to the store two days later at 11am and then returned an-hour-and-a-half later stealing four turkey joints in total that day.
On October 22, Lee would return to the store but was challenged by staff before he could make off with the meat.
Staff took the joints off him and had to stop him from trying to steal another before he was escorted out of the store. The court heard he stole £131.89 worth of items in total.
Lee appeared at Hull Crown Court on February 5 to be sentenced for burglary, three counts of theft and an attempted theft.
His criminal record includes 18 convictions for 30 offences, a majority of which are for shoplifting.
“He is genuinely remorseful for the impact of his actions,” said mitigating barrister Nadim Bashir. “You may have heard what he said earlier when hearing the victim personal statements.
“That refers to his genuine remorse and understanding about how his victims must have felt about him intruding upon their personal space and stealing their possessions.”
Mr Bashir revealed to the court that Lee’s past criminal behaviour were linked to drugs misuse and that on the night of the burglary he had relapsed.
He said: “The defendant states he became homeless after falling out with his partner and he relapsed, taking heroin and drinking a certain amount of alcohol.
“Of course, he recognises his drug misuse is no justification for his behaviour.

“He tells me that custody is perhaps the best thing that happened to him. He has used his time well and has become clean of drugs.
“It seems this is an individual who is craving for stability in his life.”
Recorder Singh QC accepted Lee was genuinely remorseful but the fact he committed the crimes whilst under a community order for a previous offence was an aggravating factor,
He said: “This house was setback within its own grounds and it was something you clearly decided to target to avoid detection.
“Two rooms had been gone through upstairs and there was an element of ransacking involved.
“These matters are aggravated by the fact you have previous convictions and the fact these offences occurred in the currency of a court order. I do accept that you are remorseful.”
Recorder Singh QC sentenced Lee to three years in prison for the offence of burglary.

Our Online Mosaic Tool makes it super easy for you to create free photo mosaic using your photos in just a few clicks. Just upload, design, and create – it’s that simple. Here are a few simple tips and tricks to really help your photo mosaic to shine.
What do you do with your old electronics? Throw them out? Donate them? Sell them? San Francisco artist Jason Mecier does the unexpected: he uses old electronic “junk” to create amazingly textured mosaics. His work is the perfect example of mosaic art in the 21st century: using broken, fragmented pieces of our everyday lives as a form of artistic expression.
I’ve posted about artists who re-work classic pieces of art with a fresh perspective, breathing new life into images we’ve surely seen dozens of times. I especially like it when artists incorporate mosaics into their approach. Nick Smith is a London-based visual artist and interior designer who focuses mostly on screen printing and has most recently created a series of work using Pantone color swatches.
Back in June, I posted about Chicago-based artist Jim Bachor who took it upon himself to tackle the city’s pothole problem by filling them with handmade tile mosaics. He’s recently popped up again with a new approach to his guerrilla pothole repair. He’s transitioned from mosaics featuring arbitrary serial numbers and simple descriptions (e.g. “POTHOLE”) to beautiful floral designs. So far, Bachor has given his floral mosaic treatment to four potholes throughout Chicago; locations and photos can be found on his website. He’s also been commissioned for some truly beautiful installations, photos of which can also be found on Bachor’s site.
In an interesting combination of time-lapse photography and photo mosaic design, UK-based photographer Noel Myles creates remarkable works of art. Nearly 15 years ago, Myles created black and white platinum/palladium prints of trees throughout the eastern part of the English countryside. A decade after that, he photographed the trees in color. By “cutting and pasting” these photos together, he creates a sort of time-lapse photo mosaic of each tree. He refers to them as “still films.”
What happens when you take two world class organizations, The Pittsburgh Penguins and The Mario Lemieux Foundation, and combine it with our mosaic technology, services, and attention to artistic detail: one amazing online photo mosaic experience. The initial goal was to create a large permanent 20ft x 8ft mural in new Penguins CONSOL arena, however with the addition of touch screen kiosks and an online photo mosaic, it became much more. The Mario Mosaic was a great way to involve the community and help raise funds for cancer and neonatal research; without a doubt it has become a main attraction at the new hockey arena.
You can now place your Shape Mosaic order through our website!
Photo mosaics are a passion of ours. We work hard at pushing the mosaic concept to new heights every day. That’s why we’re super excited to introduce a new kind of photo mosaic to our gallery: Shape Mosaics. Rather than building a mosaic based on the color and detail within the source image, these mosaics build a specific solid shape out of your cell images. Perfect for brand logos, silhouettes, and solid shapes.
They say that imitation is the greatest form of flattery. While exploring the online world of photo mosaics, I came across Kyu Hak Lee’s mixed-media mosaics. Beautifully innovative, his work is an homage to the iconic artwork of Vincent Van Gogh. By cutting small slivers of Styrofoam and wrapping them with newsprint and magazine pages, Lee creates lush, vibrant landscapes of color. Each piece is strategically placed to perfectly mimic Van Gogh’s unique brushstrokes.

TECH TUESDAY is a weekly content series covering all aspects of capital markets technology. TECH TUESDAY is produced in collaboration with Nasdaq.
Central securities depositories (CSDs) play an important part in the capital markets infrastructure as providers of registry, safekeeping, settlement and asset servicing. With the ever-increasing interest in digital assets, CSDs are well-positioned to expand their business model to service investors with access to digital assets and simultaneously help enhance trust and governance within these markets and networks.
Financial institutions are gradually warming up to the utility and potential of digital assets, ranging from cryptocurrencies and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to asset-backed tokens, commodities, settlement coins and more. But firms need assurance from regulators and market infrastructure providers that participation in digital asset markets is as reliable, safe and secure as stocks, bonds and other traditional secondary markets.
That’s where CSDs, a critical, proven and trusted component of market infrastructure, can help bridge the gap between the present and future.
“The current ecosystem supports traditional assets in a local context, which is systemically important for the local market, attracts international investors and drives harmonization and standardization for the local market,” Andreas Lundell, Head of Product, CSD Technology, at Nasdaq Marketplace Technology, told Traders Magazine.
Lundell continued: “The future ecosystem could incorporate digital assets, providing one platform and one point of access for multiple networks, facilitating settlement between asset and liquidity pools, as well as a consolidated view for all assets,” which spans issuance, settlement and registry of digital assets, custody of cryptocurrencies and connectivity to payment networks.
More than four in five, or 81%, of institutional investment managers, expect to increase their holdings of digital assets over a two- to five-year time horizon, according to an October 2021 State Street survey. The biggest concerns cited about the emerging asset class were cybersecurity, transparency and regulation.
CSDs can help allay those concerns, as state-of-the-art CSD technology is flexible, designed for high security standards, based on international best practices and ISO-compliant.
Aside from including digital assets service capabilities with existing infrastructure, benefits of CSDs include increased flexibility, reliability and security via the cloud, as well as new business opportunities from expanding data accessibility.
“With the growing adoption of digital assets trading, there are several opportunities for CSDs to expand their position and scope by facilitating efficient integration of digital assets into their existing portfolios,” Lundell wrote in a May 2022 blog post co-authored by Johan Toll, Vice President, Nasdaq Marketplace Technology. “CSDs’ unique position as regulated entities operating with known rulebooks, market practices, and participant structures, as well as established market connectivity, can provide a solid foundation for them to capture mindshare in the digital assets space while supporting changing client needs, increasing wallet share and enhancing trust and governance within the overall ecosystem.”
“CSDs hold a strong position with market participants and regulators, with trust and infrastructure built up over decades, and could potentially leverage their regulatory approvals into the DLT-based ecosystem,” the blog post stated. “They have a unique opportunity to help banks and their clients get access and tap into the digital assets space through established access points.”

Restaurant Row Features Sunday Farmer’s Market
A new look will be coming to a familiar location on Sundays, beginning this weekend, from 9am to 1pm. The Farmer’s Market, newer, bigger, better, and on a more convenient day (it used to be held on Thursdays and, according to Bob Eubank, son of Old California Restaurant Row, the late Jim Eubank, the event had not been properly sited or promoted in its early stage. “Sundays will be more convenient for the family to come and shop our Famer’s Market,” he said.
The event will be located in the large parking lot adjacent to San Marcos Boulevard and will feature fresh produce, flowers, arts and crafts. So far, twenty-two vendors have signed up for the Farmer’s Market so there should be a wide variety of products and services from which to choose.
The new Farmer’s Market is state-certified which means only produce that is grown in California may be sold and that only growers are allowed to sell the produce.
California is the only state in the nation that requires certification for farmers’ markets and producers who sell at them. This ensures that all parties who sell produce at the markets comply with rigid agricultural and health regulations.

Free “Smart” Irrigation Controller Exchange for San Diego Residents
Local water agencies and water wholesalers, the San Diego County Water Authority and the Metropolitan Water District, will hold a sprinkler controller swap on Saturday, July 15, 2006. Customers of participating water agencies who are ready to exchange their old controller for a free state-of-the-art model must call (866) 648-2925 to reserve their place. The swap will take place from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM by appointment, at the San Diego County Water Authority headquarters at 4655 Overland Avenue in Kearny Mesa.
North County water agencies participating include Santa Fe Irrigation District, Vista Irrigation District, Vallecitos Water District, Rincon Del Diablo Municipal Water District, Valley Center Municipal Water District, Fallbrook Public Utility, Ramona Municipal Water District, San Dieguito Water District, and the Cities of Escondido, Oceanside, Poway, and Carlsbad.
Only 500 controllers will be distributed to registered participants. Water Customers need a reservation number, their old controller and a copy of their water bill in order to participate. This program is sponsored by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and the San Diego County Water Authority with grant funding from Proposition 13 through the California Department of Water Resources.
Smart controllers take the guesswork out of determining a lawn watering schedule. These state-of-the-art devices monitor your garden or landscape’s environmental conditions and water your plants accordingly. One study showed water savings of up to 40 gallons per household per day, or about 10 percent of total water use.
The smart controller swap is part of a regional effort to heighten awareness of smart controllers and other new water-saving devices now being incentivized by Metropolitan and its member agencies. For more information, log on to www.bewaterwise.com.
Taking MS for a Walk
Carlsbad will be a focal point for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's 2006 Wells Fargo MS Challenge Walk, a three-day, 50-mile fund-raising
walk, June 23-25, according to the MS Society.
The MS Society announced that about 350 people, mostly women, will start their 50-mile trek on Friday morning, June 23, from the Carlsbad Flower Fields in Carlsbad. The MS Society's fifth annual MS Challenge concludes on Sunday
around noontime, June 25, in Downtown San Diego.
Organizers say the Friday morning start will be a very emotional morning. There will be lots of tears from walkers who are crying because they're
walking 50 miles in honor of a loved one who either suffers from multiple sclerosis, or has died from it. There will be cheers from family members. Several walkers have the disease. Walkers have been training for months for this moment.
The MS Society said the fund-raiser is expected to raise about $1.3 million for MS research and programs for more than 18,000 Southland residents who
have MS, a chronic, often unpredictable and disabling neurological disease of the central nervous system with no known cure. The minimum amount required to walk in the MS Challenge is $2,500 per person.
After walking about 20 miles each of the first two days, MS Challenge walkers will be provided with overnight accommodations at the Del Mar Marriott,
along with dinner and entertainment. The walkers are scheduled to cross the finish line at about 11:30 a.m. on Sunday at Pantonja Park, located on the 600 block of "G" Street, between Columbia and India streets. Wells Fargo is the title sponsor for the weekend fund-raiser, which is supported by MS Society chapters in San Diego, Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.
Similar to other three-day walks organized by health-related charities, MS Society officials said the majority of participants will be women. More than twice as many women as men have MS. MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young- to middle-aged adults, and most people are diagnosed
between the ages of 20 and 50. Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and range from numbness in the limbs and extreme fatigue to loss of balance and muscle coordination or paralysis. For event information, visit


The Springer VDI Heat Atlas (VDI Wärmeatlas) is one of the most important established books in matters of heat transfer engineering. For more than 50 years it has been an indispensable working means for engineers dealing with questions of heat transfer, and it is well-established for industrial engineering in Europe and worldwide. This reference book allows calculating the heat transport in technical equipment for the process industry, thermal power engineering and related subjects and thereby is a powerful tool for design purposes. The 1st international edition published in 1993 was based on the 6th German edition and soon was sold out. The 10th German edition (2006) is now followed by a second 2nd international edition. For this 2nd international edition all parts were examined thoroughly and revised, thus ensuring a maximum of security in the data, and modern state-of-the-art methods and analyses.
The reference book covers most fields of heat transfer in industrial and engineering applications, presenting the interrelationships between basic scientific methods, experimental techniques, model-based analysis and their transfer to technical applications.

WASHINGTON – The deeply disturbing pre-election environment in Belarus, efforts to foster democracy and civil society, and U.S. policy options toward the regime of Aleksandr Lukashenka were examined at a hearing held today by the U.S. Helsinki Commission. Presidential elections are scheduled to be held on March 19.
“The pre-election climate in Belarus has been abysmal, with daily reports of arrests, beatings, and closures of NGOs and independent newspapers. It is high time to put an end to the climate of fear which has permeated Belarusian society under Aleksandr Lukashenka,” said Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS), Chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission. “The international community – including Russia – should collectively put Lukashenka on notice that continuing pre-election violations and in particular post-election violence against peaceful demonstrations will be unacceptable.”
In a specific message to Belarusians, Chairman Brownback said: “I have a specific message to those who seek liberty in Belarus, especially the courageous youth: Know that in fighting for your freedom and dignity, which has long been denied you, you are engaged in a noble cause. Truth is on your side and you will ultimately prevail.”
“Given the disturbing pre-election environment – where candidates and their assistants have been beaten and imprisoned, where meaningful access to the media by opposition candidates is denied, where independent voices are stifled, and where the regime maintains pervasive control over the election process – it is very hard to imagine that next week’s election will be free. We already know that the election climate is not fair,” added Commission Co-Chairman Rep. Christopher Smith (R-NJ), sponsor of the Belarus Democracy Act which was signed in law in 2004.
“Stepped up harassment, arrests, and the jailing of opposition supporters and the inability of candidates standing against Lukashenka to conduct anything like normal campaigns speak volumes about the run up to the elections,” noted Commission Ranking Member Rep. Ben Cardin (D-MD) in a prepared statement. “The only question is when the people of Belarus will say enough: enough to intimidation, enough to manipulation, enough to falsification.”
Helsinki Commissioner Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) has been designated by the OSCE Chairman-in-Office as Special Coordinator for the International Election Observation Mission to Belarus. Commission staff are also scheduled to observe the March 19 election.
Testifying before the Commission were David Kramer, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia; Iryna Vidanova, Belarusian activist; Stephen Nix, International Republican Institute (IRI); Patrick Merloe; National Democratic Institute (NDI); Rodger Potocki, National Endowment for Democracy (NED); and Celeste Wallander, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).

Re: overunity (Natalie L. Smith)
If we assume that the train is definitely 9 miles long (475 cars) and if we assume only one 100 ft car "dangling" and 474 on the level, then the train will not move (100,000 lbs force opposed by 142,200 lbs kinetic friction which would be even less than the static friction - - assuming starting from rest).
If we assume 10 cars dangling than it will move and accelerate. Don't know the lb -> N conversion, so I can't tell you how fast. :0(

Two armed men shot and injured a TV store owner Wednesday night in Clovis when they robbed him, authorities said.
The men shot the owner in the leg about 8:30 p.m. at his store on the 100 block of Bullard Avenue near Minnewawa Avenue, Clovis Police Department spokeswoman Janet Stoll-Lee said. The men confronted the man in the store parking lot, then forced him to go inside and empty his safe.
The suspects became agitated when the man did not move fast enough or provide enough cash, so they opened fire, Stoll-Lee said. The men fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash and an additional gun.
The store owner, who is in his mid-30s, was taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno and is expected to survive his injuries.
Stoll-Lee said police did not receive a call reporting the robbery until about 15 minutes after it occurred. Officers cordoned off the area and tried to find the bandits with the help of a Fresno police officer and his dog. However, the suspects had fled.
The only descriptions of the suspects were that they were black and wore masks.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at (559) 498-STOP.
2 men get prison for sexual assault
Tulare County Superior Court Judge Joseph Kalashian on Tuesday sentenced two gang members from Farmersville to state prison for sexually assaulting two girls who ventured into their gang hangout.
Antonio Ortega, 18, was sentenced to 10 years, and Rogelio Ramos, 18, was sentenced to six years. Ortega pled guilty to forcible rape and a lewd act with a minor under 14, while Ramos pled no contest to a lewd act with a minor under 14.
On Aug. 1, 2009, the two girls, ages 13 and 15, went to a local gang hangout where they were assaulted. The youngest escaped by floating down a canal and running down the street toward her house wearing only a wet T-shirt, and the 15-year-old was picked up by a passer-by and driven to her family's apartment, the Tulare County District Attorney's Office said.
DNA evidence was used to identify Ortega and Ramos, who must serve 85% of their sentences and register as sex offenders for life.
Fire law violations send man to prison
A Tulare County jury on Wednesday found Camarillo resident Danny Williams, 47, owner of American Fire Protection, guilty of 26 felony counts of maintaining impaired fire protection systems, grand theft, diversion of construction funds and conspiracy.
He was also found guilty of 26 misdemeanor counts of violating state fire marshal regulations.
Williams was paid $82,000 by Svenhard's Swedish Bakery in Exeter to repair its sprinkler system, but did only 40% of the work and left the system impaired, the Tulare County District Attorney's Office said. Twenty-five other Tulare County businesses also were victims.
He faces up to 30 years in prison.
Mendota schools to receive state funds
Mendota Unified School District is getting $2.8 million for new school construction, one of 18 projects to get funds from the State Allocation Board.
The board announced Wednesday that it had allocated $40.6 million in state matching funds for "shovel-ready" school construction projects. The money will help pay to add classrooms and modernize existing facilities in 13 school districts.
Williamson services planned Friday
Memorial services for Sandra Williamson, who was shot to death by her estranged husband in Bass Lake, will be held Friday in Oakhurst.
Williamson, 65, worked as a labor and delivery coach for 15 years.
She was killed Feb. 16 at Ducey's on the Lake after having lunch with her divorce lawyer, Judith Soley, during a recess from her divorce case at the Bass Lake courthouse. Her estranged husband, James Williamson, also shot and killed Soley and later killed himself.
The services will begin at 11 a.m. at Mountain Christian Center.
Math, science event held for students
About 600 students from 22 central San Joaquin Valley schools will participate Saturday in the Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement Program Academy at California State University, Fresno.
The academy will be from 8:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., university officials said. Students from sixth to 12th grade will participate in hands-on projects involving robotics, earthquake engineering and hydraulics.
UC Merced launches stem cell facility
UC Merced officials say its new cutting-edge stem cell research facility will improve its faculty's research capabilities in the field.
The new center could also lead to biotechnology job creation in the Central Valley and will help attract future faculty to the institution, officials said.
The university unveiled its Stem Cell Instrumentation Foundry on Wednesday. The 3,905-square-foot facility, which includes two ultra-clean rooms that prevent various particles from interfering with research, was supported with a $4.36 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. The total cost for the facility was about $7 million; the other $3 million came from the university, according to Steve Rabedeaux, technical and space allocation manager.
Ed and Jeanne Kashian of Fresno donated $100,000, and a microscopy room in the facility will be named after them.
IRS offers federal tax preparation free
The Internal Revenue Service is offering free federal tax-preparation programs for taxpayers, officials said.

This is a good book... well written and well presented. Like _Speak_ by Laurie Halse Anderson, which I just read, it presents a teen's life when a hard change happened, and brings you in to the emotional turmoil and decision making about what to share about what is known. I'm not a teen anymore (long since!), but this feels real. I think _Speak_ was a little more broad, in that the depression felt a little more universal than Vera's (plus, y'know, there's ghosts and a pagoda offering their thoughts in this one). I appreciated the varied perspectives and thought they added to the story, even if they sometimes seemed a little disjointed.
Overall a very good book, thought provoking, and likely to spark some interesting discussions at book club.
Lots of jumping back and forth in time, along with some chapters written from Vera's Dad's point-of-view, Charlie's point-of-view, and some amusing thoughts from the largest inanimate object in the book, The Pagoda.
I really enjoyed Please Ignore Vera Dietz! Vera is an interesting, troubled, and real character. She and her best friend (that she has a crush on) had a falling out as he hooked up with some new friends. A few months later, he dies suddenly, and Vera knows the truth about what happened. In a very unghostly way, he comes back to help convince her to help clear his name regarding the way that he died. It's an interesting book, worthy of the Printz Honon that it received this year.
