Dimond Canyon - Oakland

Project BackgroundDimond Canyon is a 80 acre wild open space area tucked into the developed hills of Oakland near the intersection of Hwy 13 and Park Blvd. The park had some extensive public works projects in the past that urbanized the stream. Since then there have been several projects to bring much of it back to a natural setting. The hills are steep in the area. A trail network was built by the city and some with significant help from the Bicycle Trails Council of the East Bay. Currently the BTCEB works on trail maintenance and a bike patrol in the park. There is also a very active natural resource group. Friends of Sausal Creek are actively working on non-native removal and habitat restoration.
Trail DescriptionV-O-Cal will actively work to engage both existing groups along with additional V-O-Cal volunteers to do extensive trail repair, standard brushing work and habitat restoration. Some trails need switchback maintenance. There are at least two sections of fence needed to improve safety. We will create a safe and sustainable path to the creek in several areas where users are currently “sliding down” steep hillsides not intended for trails. We will also work with the Friends group to bring additional human resources to the restoration work they have been doing for some time.

Chugiak softball team ends season tied with Dimond

Although the season is over, Chugiak High girls softball coach Jim Huber did not yet know the team’s order of finish in the seven-member league - at least not by Sunday evening.
Huber confirmed that with the squad’s 11-10 loss to Dimond Saturday, the two teams finished with an identical 8-win-4-loss record in regulation Cook Inlet Conference play. East is a solid first-seed, and Bartlett is fourth, he said.

Chugiak shortstop Kayleigh Vergnetti is accompanied toward the dugout by classmate Mariah Bookbinder after Vergnetti was hit near her left eyebrow by a ground ball Saturday. The cut required seven stitches, but Vergnetti was back for the team's game against Homer later in the day.

The Mustangs had the game against Dimond well in hand, leading 7-4 going into the last inning, Huber reported, when a couple of errors along with a mental mistake opened the door for Dimond, allowing the Lynx to score three runs and send the game into extra innings.
Both teams scored three runs in the eighth inning, leading to yet another extension of the contest.
Dimond scored one in the ninth, then held the Mustangs scoreless, after Chugiak pushed a runner to third base with only one out, Huber reported.
Chugiak sophomore pitcher Ashley VanRyn took the loss in the circle. Interestingly, her father, Cameron, is the coach for Dimond.
The game was dealt an unfortunate turn for the Mustangs in the top of the third inning, when recent graduate Kayleigh Vergnetti, the team’s shortstop, was struck in the head due to a sharply hit grounder, with the blow solidly squared on her left brow. The injury caused a good deal of blood, filling the girl’s palm with blood in the short walk to the team’s third base dugout, resulting in a short delay to the game.
Vergnetti was accompanied by her parents to the hospital where she received seven stitches and was back in the team’s dugout for a non-conference game with Homer hours later.
Huber said that while he respected the youth’s desire to get back into action, he kept her on the bench during the team’s 5-1 win over the Mariners. The coach said that Vergnetti, who also bats cleanup in the team’s offensive order, would be back for Cook Inlet Conference tournament play.

Dimond girls pile up huge Class 4A win

FAIRBANKS — That the Dimond Lynx repeated was no surprise, but their margin of victory sure was.
The Lynx, with four wins and a host of point scorers, tallied 95 points to nearly double their nearest pursuer on Saturday at the Class 4A girls Alaska Track and Field Championships at Lathrop High School.
“We didn’t think we’d win it by this much,” said sophomore Jessica Todd, who claimed the long jump, placed fourth in the 400-meter run and ran the anchor leg of Dimond’s second-place 4x400 relay.
Juneau-Douglas was second with 49 points, followed by Kenai with 47 and Bartlett with 42. Lathrop took eighth and West Valley 14th among 20 scoring teams.

Veterans Court

In America, everyone is supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law. But we've got a growing group, a particular class of defendants entering American courtrooms that I believe needs special consideration. They are soldiers returning from war.
Several studies conclude that between 30 percent to 40 percent of the approximately 1.6 million vets of Iraq and Afghanistan will "face serious mental-health injuries" like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and problems from traumatic brain injuries. Experts in the field report both those conditions are linked to anti-social and criminal behavior.
Now, to me those numbers — up to 40 percent of the troops afflicted — seem high. But if it's even half that, it's too many brave souls returning home needing special help. So, what do we do with a soldier, who put his life on hold to go to a foreign land to fight for our liberty, when he comes home and gets into trouble with the law?
To be clear, I'm not referring to the highly publicized cases where a returning soldier has committed murder. Those cases have caused many to think, "Well, you train these young men to kill, they come home and kill." But there is no research — let me repeat that — there is no research to indicate vets commit violent crimes more often than civilians. In fact, if you extrapolate government statistics for murders committed by men ages 18 to 24, it's the civilian who is more likely to kill someone, not the vet. I'm referring here to those anti-social, behavioral problems experts report that so many of our returning soldiers suffer from in silence. Problems with substance abuse, paranoia, flashbacks and bursts of unexplained temper — problems so debilitating the vet takes out his frustrations on loved ones or commits suicide.

LAMAR, Mo. —
Dr. Ralph Wilson “Docky” Dimond, age 88, of Lamar, passed away Friday, June 19, 2009, at Freeman Hospital West in Joplin.Docky was born September 19, 1920, in his family home in Lamar, to Dr. Walter & Emma (Booten) Dimond. After graduating from Lamar High School in 1938, Ralph attended Missouri State University in Springfield and went on to earn a doctorate degree in dentistry from UMKC in Kansas City. From 1943 through 1946 he served in the Navy aboard the USS Zania in the Pacific Theater, Solomon Islands, Philippines, and Okinawa. Returning home to Lamar after the war, Docky began his 43 year career in dentistry, partnering first with his father, then in his own practice until retiring in 1982.

Dimond Park Pool

BACKGROUND
On October 2, 2007 voters approved Proposition 4, authorizing the issuance of $19.8 million in general obligation bond debt for paying for the construction of a pool facility in Dimond Park. A portion of this project will qualify for State reimbursement under the State's School Construction Bond Debt Reimbursement Program.

The Voter Information for October 2, 2007 Municipal Election stated that an approximately 33,700 sq. ft swimming facility would be constructed. Plans call for 6-lane lap pool with diving board and a zero-entry warm water pool for learn-to-swim-programs, a reduced water recreation area, senior aerobics, and other water safety programs. Locker rooms, spectator seating, mechanical rooms, and small administrative areas would also be constructed.

On October 13, 2007 at he CBJ Assembly Retreat, the Assembly updated the goal of "revised the strategy for construction of a Valley Community Center" to "monitor design, construction and management of Valley Pool." The Assembly heard from staff that a pool task force would be working with CBJ Staff on design of the pool

Abstract:

Brown and Jeeves (1993) found that an evoked potential estimate of interhemispheric transfer time, from the left to the right hemisphere, correlated negatively with a bilateral field advantage (BFA) in a response-choice letter matching task. We implemented a go no-go dot size matching task to determine whether the crossed-uncrossed difference (CUD) in reaction time, commission errors and omission errors (estimates of the "cost" of interhemispheric transfer) would correlate with BFAs in data from the same experiment and whether the type of decision ("same" versus "different") would modulate the CUDs and/or BFAs. Sixteen normal right-handed subjects were tested. The CUDs were negatively correlated with the BFAs. Canonical correlation analysis of this set of relations was highly significant (r = .95). Estimates of left-to-right relay were far more strongly related to BFA (p = .0001) than were estimates of right-to-left relay (p = .03). "Same" decisions yielded a unilateral field advantage and "different" decisions a bilateral field advantage in omission error data, this crossed interaction reaching significance. More efficient interhemispheric relay favored BFAs, i.e., strongly suggesting in such cases an advantage of interhemispheric over intrahemispheric integration. This effect appeared to be markedly asymmetric. Furthermore, resource sharing within and between the hemispheres was a function of the "same" versus "different" dimensions of the decision to be made, especially in omission errors. The opposite dissociation occurred less markedly in the reaction times, this double dissociation reaching significance, revealing presence of a subtle speed-accuracy trade-off in interhemispheric dynamics.

Alex's Bio

B/R World Football Writer of the Year 2008.
B/R Staff Editor
Alex is both a history (BA) and journalism (MA) graduate, which is only impressive when you consider they are just about the only combination of degrees that guarantee you won't get a job in the current economic climate.
Nevertheless, Alex hopes to one day make it as a sports journalist of the highest level. If nothing else, a man can dream.
In the meantime, Alex is working hard on honing his craft right here on Bleacher Report. As a Staff Editor he is mainly responsible for the World Football and Cricket sections of the site, editing contributions and polishing them where needed. If you write for either sections, chances are he will look over your work more than once. Don't worry about thanking him for any edits he makes however — the nominal fee he gets from the company bigwigs every two weeks is the only thanks he needs.
When he has time, Alex also likes to contribute regularly with articles of his own. He likes to think they are thoughtful, engaging, and regularly on the money, but many readers would doubtless disagree. Nevertheless, he has had pieces published on both Fox Sports and CBS, so he must be doing something right.
Alex is a Crystal Palace fan, which rather undermines his assertion that he is an expert on the beautiful game. However, he also would consider himself knowledgeable when writing about golf (for what it's worth, he has a 6 handicap), cricket, Formula 1... well, pretty much any mainstream sport you care to mention.

Jonathan Dimond

This recording documents some of my compositions from the time of my departure from Australia in 2002, through 2004.Within this 3 year period I was based in Los Angeles, USA, but also spent time in Tokyo, Japan, and Amsterdam, Holland where new compositions were inspired. The process of composition for me has always been about discovery and invention, most often also with specific people and/or places in mind.In this way, it is very similar to a journey - a kind of personal journey whereby problems arise and are overcome by solutions that are very often specific to that situation. The more experience a composer has in creating customized solutions, the more adept and able they are, in my opinion. The element of surprise in the journey is also intrinsic to composition for me. A dramatic change in environment brings new people and places your way, and forces you to reexamine many aspects of your voice and your existence. The process of recording allows a self-focused "magnifying glass" to zone-in further on yourself, your musical partners, and your composition. Of course the subsequent benefit is that your journey has been documented - preserved for future self-reflection and also for the ultimate reward - sharing with audiences. The communication of ideas with audiences through a rich musical language is really the essence of my musical motivation.This album project aims to bring me closer to sharing music and my journey with others. Enjoy.

A Short History of Dimond Canyon and Sausal Creek

Extending from the Montclair hills to Dimond Park near Fruitvale Avenue and Macarthur Boulevard is an expanse of wooded open space called Dimond Canyon. Hundreds of cars drive by the canyon on Park Boulevard every day. Only a few enjoy the wildlife of the canyon at its best, by hiking the trails that run through the woodlands. Some of these trails have been used since people first inhabited these hills. At the head of the canyon, near Highway 13, Cobbledick Creek (which runs along Scout Road) joins Shephard Creek (which runs under Shepherd Canyon Road). On the bay side of the freeway, near the parking lot of the Montclair Golf Course, these creeks join Palo Seco Creek (which runs through Joaquin Miller Park) and unite to form Sausal Creek which runs through the bottom of Dimond Canyon. Huchiun and Jalquin tribes of Ohlone Indians were concentrated in the area surrounding Dimond Canyon. One well-known Indian village was located in Indian Gulch, the area currently called Trestle Glen. Another known village was located on the campus of Holy Names College. Dimond Canyon was between them. The hillsides of the canyon would have been great sites for harvesting acorns, berries, and edible plants, and hunting for birds, fish, and other wildlife. In 1820, the land including Dimond Canyon was granted to Luis Maria Peralta. Peralta owned all the land from El Cerrito to San Leandro, but he chose to place his first home on the flatlands between Peralta and Sausal Creeks. Peralta divided his land among his sons in 1842 giving the San Antonio section including Dimond Canyon and his original home to his son Antonio Maria Peralta. Around 1847, Europeans set up camp in the upper hills of Antonio Peralta's land, and started logging the San Antonio redwood forest. In 1850, the area's first steam sawmill was built at Palo Seco Creek in the head of Dimond Canyon (see photo in The Montclarion February 3, 1998). A logging road high on the side of the Canyon, now Park Boulevard, was used to transport the logs through Dimond Canyon. By 1860, ten years later, the San Antonio forest was logged completely.

Sound and Fury

The piece runs backwards, starting with live broadcasts and working gradually back through the years to Marconi’s original transmission. Inspired by the opening sequence of the film Contact, we pictured ourselves travelling out into space 100 light years along with the radio waves.
Airwaves is a form of time travel, inspired by the power recorded sound has to take us to the actual people and events. Part opera, part documentary, part entertainment, it is crowded with contradictory voices, its density reflected the intensely busy and noisy century we have just left behind.

Peter Dimond - Book Launch

Peter is a legendary hard man who played in the toughest era of the game. He pulled no punches then, literally, and he pulls none when it comes to honest down to earth opinions. Peter raises some questions about Jack Gibson’s contribution to the game, the selection of Andrew Johns and others in the Team of the Century and other critical issues in the game he played and loves. His contemporaries read like the Who’s Who of the toughest and most skilful of players. Raper, Gasnier, Langlands, Kelly, O’Shea, Holman, Summons, Provan, Hambly, and Muir; and others not as well known but who earned their place in the story.A perceptive observer of the game, Peter is generous in his praise for many great players and many little known players who played the game the right way. He tells how Australia caught up to England and passed them as a Rugby League nation and the battles along the way with the Pommy legends, Boston, Karalius, Turner, Murphy, Bolton and his personal duels with "Mad" Mike Sullivan. Every piece of criticism of the game and praise for players is supported by sound argument and there are a number of surprises in his assessments of players. His love of the game and its wonderful camaraderie is at the heart of his story. Peter is frank about the way he played and doesn’t take a backward step on this or any other issue, including belting the footballing priest, the then Fr. John Cootes. The result is a very conversational narrative of reminiscences, controversial insights into the game, honest comment and wonderful humour.

Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A. Announces Class Action Filing Against George Theodule,...

Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A. Announces Class Action Filing Against George
Theodule, Creative Capital, and Others
MIAMI, Jan. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A.
announced today that it has commenced a class action lawsuit in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of a
putative Class consisting of all persons and entities who provided moneys to
Defendants George Theodule; Creative Capital Consortium, LLC; A Creative Capital
Concept$, LLC; Dorothy Delisort-Theodule; Yolette Theodule-Williams; Mario
Theodule; Julius Theodule; or Yves Theodule (collectively, the "Defendants"); or
to individuals or entities who were raising funds on behalf of any of those
Defendants, for purposes of "investing" in Defendants' fraudulent Ponzi scheme
(the "Class"), from January 2007 through today and thereafter ("Class Period").
Excluded from the Class are: Defendants, including their subsidiaries,
affiliates, and their collective officers, agents, and employees; any
"investment clubs" that solicited moneys on behalf or at the direction of
Defendants; any officers, directors, principals, managers, or employees of any
such investment clubs; members of the extended families of each Defendant,
together with their heirs, successors and assigns; and individuals or entities
who provided moneys to Defendants, or to individuals or entities who were
raising funds on behalf of Defendants, for purposes of "investing" in
Defendants' fraudulent Ponzi scheme, but who received back moneys in excess of
the amount "invested."
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff for the Class, you must file a motion
with the Court no later than sixty (60) days from today. If you wish to discuss
this action or have any questions concerning this Notice or your rights or
interests, please contact Plaintiff's counsel, Jared A. Levy, Esq. of Dimond
Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A., at (561) 671-1920. If you are a member of this Class,
you can view a copy of the Complaint as filed in this class action online at
http://admin.dkrpa1.lawoffice.com/CM/Custom/Firm-News.asp Any member of the
purported Class may file a motion with the Court to seek to serve as lead
plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and
remain a silent class member.
The Complaint charges Defendants with perpetrating a Ponzi scheme by which the
Class members were defrauded out of significant moneys. The Complaint alleges
that Defendants - soliciting investments largely from the Haitian community -
misrepresented to the Class that the principal amount invested was guaranteed at
a "zero-loss," and that pursuant to Defendants' investment "strategies," the
Class Members' moneys would double in value every three months. The crux of the
case is that Defendants failed to inform the Class that: (1) any and all
investment returns were dependent on contributions of moneys from new investors;
and (2) that Defendants intended simply to steal the Class Members' moneys
pursuant to a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. Finally, the Complaint alleges that
Defendants have failed to honor the Class Members' withdrawal requests, causing
losses to the Class.
Plaintiffs seek to recover damages on behalf of the Class, and have brought
claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Securities Act of 1933
for fraud in connection with securities transactions and for selling
unregistered securities, as well as claims under the common law for breach of
fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.
Plaintiffs are represented by Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A., whose lawyers
have extensive experience in matters of this nature. The attorneys of Dimond
Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A. focus their practice on class actions and complex
commercial litigation in federal and state courts, as well as securities
arbitration matters relating to stockbroker misconduct. Dimond Kaplan &
Rothstein, P.A. is well known and respected in the South Florida legal community
as honorable and diligent counsel. Dimond Kaplan & Rothstein, P.A. has offices

Measures for Optimising Radiological Information and Dose in Digital Imaging and Interventional Radiology

The medical use of ionising radiation in interventional radiology, digital imaging and digital mammography offers enormous potential benefits to individuals. However ionising radiation has potential risk to patients, staff and the public.Radiation doses and risks to patients will be assessed with a view to improving medical examinations. This will be achieved by investigating methods for the optimisation of image quality and dose for specific clinical examination.

DIMOND - ongoing, but no longer recruiting participants

The Huntington Study Group (HSG) is conducting a study of the research medication Dimebon in persons 29 years of age or older who have mild to moderate Huntington disease (HD). DIMOND is designed to determine safe and tolerable doses of Dimebon and also to determine the effect of Dimebon on cognitive (thinking) and motor (movement) signs and overall functioning of subjects with HD. Approximately 15 research centers in the United States and in the United Kingdom enrolled about 90 research subjects. The entire time on study drug will last about 3 months. The study enrolled research subjects with early to moderate signs of HD who are independently ambulatory (walking) and self-sufficient in activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, and bathing. Enrollment began in the Summer of 2007, and was completed in March 2008. The study is sponsored by Medivation, Inc.

SENTINEL Project

The SENTINEL project will coordinate a programme of research across a consortium of partners from sixteen European Union member states, four candidate member states.
There is growing concern among healthcare professionals and patients about the use of radiation to produce scans, X-rays and other images of the human body.
Technological developments, led by equipment manufacturers from across Europe, have not been sufficiently supported by studies to ensure these new digital imaging devices and techniques are as effective as they might be or give the lowest possible radiation dose.
SENTINEL will look at the safety and effectiveness of the radiological imaging systems involved in almost 90% of examinations performed in Europe. These systems contribute to 60% of the total radiation dose from medical procedures and approximately half of the radiation the public is exposed to from man-made sources.
