Welcome to the South Shore Women's Resource Center
We are a nonprofit, community-based domestic violence program that has been assisting victims of domestic violence and their families for more than 30 years. Services are free and confidential. Our focus is to create a welcoming environment where victims can feel safe to make empowering choices in their lives.
Center-based Services
Crisis intervention: Provided on the phone or in person, our domestic violence advocates assist you with information and support you ask for.
Safety planning: Discuss what the safest options are for your situation.
Assistance with shelter placement: Emergency shelter for victims within our network of confidential safe homes and/or assistance with long-term placement
Support groups: Educational and empowerment groups for victims.
Clinical Individual/Group/Family Therapy: Substance abuse and mental health services for victims, including trauma, depression, and anxiety.
24-hour Hotline: Trained staff and volunteers are available around the clock to listen and to provide information and safety options.
Additional Outreach Programs & Services
Older Women: Women age 55 and older are provided with domestic violence counseling, advocacy, and information, in addition to related supportive services.
Homicide Bereavement Services: SHARES (Surviving Homicide's Aftermath: Resources, Education, Support) provides free, confidential services to family and friends of murdered individuals, people who have been victims of terrorism, or victims of vehicular homicide in Plymouth and Bristol counties.
Road to Healing: Services for those affected by Impaired Driving: Our Road to Healing Program provides free & confidential services to individuals & families affected by drug & alcohol impaired driving throughout Bristol & Plymouth Counties.
Jordan Hospital Advocacy:Advocates work with victims of domestic violence and/or sexual assault in the Emergency Department, exploring resources and options, as well as safety planning and scheduling follow-up services.
Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: This outreach program is conducted in collaboration with the Plymouth Council on Aging. Grandparents who are raising their grandchildren receive information, education, and legal advice on available resources.
Batterers' Intervention Program
Dept. of Public Health guidelines dictate batterers attend an intervention program for at least 80-hours. High Point offers two-hour groups that meet weekly for 40 consecutive weeks. The program is for both male and female perpetrators.
Court Advocacy (SAFEPLAN)
Navigating through the courts is an often bewildering process. Advocates work out of Plymouth District, Plymouth Probate, Wareham District, and Hingham District Courts. They help clients with the 209A process, in addition to the Harassment Prevention Order (258E), passed last year in Massachusetts, which provides victims relief against stalking, sexual assault, and criminal harassment. The Abuse Prevention Law (209A) is for domestic violence victims. One of the requirements to filing is a relationship must exist between family or household members. A victim of sexual assault by someone with whom no previous relationship exists can seek a 258E harassment order.
Education & Trainings
Intervention and prevention education and workshops are provided to all interested community groups (i.e. civic, religious, business,and school). We also bring the White Ribbon Campaign into area schools. The White Ribbon Campaign is an initiative that encourages men to become outspoken advocates against violence against women. As dating violence is a very real issue teens are grappling with, the White Ribbon Campaign is an effective tool in educating young people about dating and domestic violence.
Community Partners
The South Shore Women's Resource Center works with our community partners to educate people about domestic violence, in addition to preventing its occurrence in the first place. Partners include local police departments, area schools, local Council on Aging centers, the Department of Children & Families, Department of Transitional Assistance, Plymouth County DA's Office, Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, Plymouth County Risk Assessment Team, the United Way of Greater Plymouth County, faith-based entities, and other interested groups.

Darien pulls away from Trinity Catholic in lopsided win
Recommended Video:
STAMFORD -- For one period at least on Saturday, the Trinity Catholic High School boys hockey team showed it could stay with powerful Darien, ranked fourth in the latest state poll. The problem for the Crusaders, however, was that the break between periods at the Darien Ice Rink was just 15 minutes.
"I think we might have exerted too much energy in the first period," Trinity coach Ken Smith said after Darien scored eight goals in the final two periods en route to a 9-1 FCIAC victory. "We just couldn't maintain that level of energy."
Trinity's trapping strategy certainly frustrated Darien during the opening 15 minutes. But the Blue Wave managed to break free in the second period and the game was never the same.
"Those guys did a wonderful job against us in the first period, give their coaches a lot of credit," Darien coach Chris Gerwig said. "They set up a nice trap and it really stifled us."
The Crusaders (2-6-1, 2-1-1 FCIAC) couldn't keep it up, though. Darien's Jack Pardue scored 5:28 into the second period and the Blue Wave (8-1-1, 4-0) were off and running. Within 1:39, Tommy Watters and Brendan Cassidy also scored and it was 4-0. This so-called battle for first place in the FCIAC East was no longer in doubt.
"They're the fourth-ranked team in the state for a reason," Smith said. "They can throw three or four strong lines out there. But we frustrated them for a while. In the second period we got away from our game plan and they took advantage of it immediately."
While the teams came into Saturday with similar FCIAC records, the truth is the gap was wide. Darien was 4-1-1 against top non-league competition, including wins over perennial powers Hamden, West Haven and Notre Dame of Fairfield. Trinity was 0-5 in non-league contests.
"We weren't really treating it (as a showdown for first place)," Smith said.
Darien, which has won five in a row by a combined score of 31-5, did a good job of limiting scoring chances for Trinity's top line of Steve Lambrinakos, DJ Davis and Sean Dolan. Dolan did manage to get the Crusaders on the board with a power play goal with 5:09 remaining in the second period making it 4-1.
But another flurry of goals -- this time three in 1:19 late in the second period -- broke it open. Owen Koorbusch (PPG), Jack Knowlton and Jack Hathaway, who scored Darien's first goal, made it 7-1.
"Our depth wore them down," Gerwig said. "In the second period we opened up the ice, got a lot of movement and opened up lanes. Six goals in one period is nice; we haven't done that in a long time."
Trent Bergin and Craig Miller (PPG) scored for Darien in the third period to complete the scoring.
Kyle Odierno stopped 28 of the 37 shots he faced in goal for Trinity while Darien goalie Michael Collins stopped 15 of 16 shots.
Darien 9, Trinity 1
Records: Trinity 2-6-1, 2-1-1 FCIAC; Darien 8-1-1, 4-0 FCIAC.
Goals: T--Sean Dolan; D--Brendan Hathaway 2, Jack Pardue, Tommy Watters, Brendan Cassidy. Owen Koorbusch, Jack Knowlton, Trent Bergin, Craig Miller. Assists: T--Colin Bernard, Eryk Wielgos; D--Pardue 2, Koorbusch, Connor Davis, Nick Allam, Tiger Sullivan, Watters, Bergin, Kevin Love. Goalie saves: T--Kyle Odierno 28; D--Michael Collins 15.

Mercedes-Benz has no excuses for not being at the top of the four-seat convertible game. It's been at it for more than 100 years and its 2014 E500 Cabriolet is now cleaner looking, faster, more economical and far, far safer.
The outgoing E-Class Cabriolet fan barely complained about any of those areas, but Mercedes has just finished the mid-life upgrade of E-Class sedan and is about to deliver an all-new S-Class. The upgraded technology from both exercises was just lying about at Sindelfingen and it mostly fitted quite easily into the E500 Cabriolet.

The FC Dallas U-18 Academy team fell to Mexico's CF Monterrey Rayados 2-1 in a Super Group game of the 2010 Dallas Cup on Monday night. Rayados got a goal in the 26th and 69th minutes while FCD's lone goal came in the 59th minute.
"I didn't like the first half," FCD head coach Oscar Pareja said. "I felt we came out a little bit flat. For some of the boys, this is their first time playing against the biggest clubs in the world and it was a great experience for them. Overall, we had a good performance. We competed with them and played a great second half."
Los Rayados controlled possession for most of the opening frame. And before their opening goal, everyone in attendance knew it was time before the Mexican club finally made good on one of their many scoring chances of the half.
And in the 26th, it was Fernando Moreno who converted a header to give Monterrey a 1-0 advantage. The sequence started on the right flank when César de la Peña struck a great cross into the center of the FCD box. Moreno timed his leap perfectly, winning a battle in the air with an FCD player and headed the ball into the left side of the net for the tally.
In the 43rd minute, Moreno had two additional chances to add to the Rayados' lead. However, he was denied by FCD goalkeeper Zachery Downes on both opportunities.
While their spirits were a bit dampened after allowing that goal, FCD had several great chances to draw things level in the opening frame. Victor Ulloa was denied twice by the Rayados' keeper in an eight-minute span. The first time was in the 30th minute when Ulloa tried to convert a rebound after teammate Ruben Luna was denied by the opposing 'keeper, who knocked his shot over the crossbar to set up an FCD corner kick. In the 38th, Ulloa was stopped cold again in similar fashion.
Even though Ulloa failed to convert, Pareja had many good things to say about him after the game's conclusion.
"He is one of the players I have high hopes for," the FCD coach said. "I have invested a lot of time in him. He has the right mentality. I saw him leading the team out there tonight. I saw him fighting and being a great two-way player. I hope everybody else saw that also."
One thing FCD did well in the first half was create their fair share of set pieces. The club had its share of corners and free kicks but was unable to convert any of those opportunities into goals and the match remained 1-0 at the break.
Things remained scoreless for the next 21 minutes until FCD finally broke through in the 59th minute with a goal by Bradlee Baladez. Steven Adams set his teammate up nicely with a well-placed ball from the left flank. All Baladez had to do was head the ball squarely, which he did, sending one into the back of the Monterrey net for the equalizer.
However, any momentum shift from that tally was short-lived as the Rayados went back ahead just nine minutes later. FCD's Jael Barrera was whistled for apparently taking down Monterrey's Sergio Soto inside the area. The referee quickly pointed to the penalty spot and Monterrey's Fernando Martínez stepped up to take it. Martínez quickly converted, knocking it into the middle of the canvas with Downes going to his right.
It was a call that didn't exactly sit well with Pareja.
"I didn't see any PK," he said after the match. "I still think [officiating] is a department to be improved in. There is nothing you can do from the bench when they call a PK."
FC Dallas midfielder David Ferreira was among those in attendance as he was taking in the game from the far sideline in the first half. FCD head coach Schellas Hyndman and assistant John Ellinger were also watching the proceedings from the more-crowded near sideline.

From Film Threat, via J:
BOOTLEG FILES 259 "People of the Cumberland" (1937 pro-union propaganda short).
LAST SEEN: Available at online vide sites.
AMERICAN HOME VIDEO: I am not aware of its video release.
REASON FOR BOOTLEG STATUS: A seriously obscure title.
CHANCES OF SEEING A COMMERCIAL DVD RELEASE : It is possible, but not likely at the moment.
"People of the Cumberland" is probably among the most obscure films to be featured in this series – I only first learned of it a few weeks ago, and only then I stumbled over it by accident. But as with many obscure films, it has a strange and fascinating history that deserves attention.
This 20-minute film was the product of Frontier Films, a collaborative effort of left wing creative artists who sought to use motion pictures as a vehicle to spread their political messages. The group had its genesis with the the Worker's Film and Photo League, a Communist organization created in 1930, which later transformed into Nykino in 1935, before becoming Frontier Films in 1936. The group's members included prominent independent and avant-garde film leaders of the 1930s, including Willard Van Dyke, Paul Strand and Leo Hurwitz.
Frontier Films wanted to depict aspects of American life where left-of-center political input saved the day. In the case of "People of the Cumberland," that meant the arrival of labor unions. Although Frontier Films operated without the blessing or backing of any specific union, its pro-union message was loud and clear – or, in the case of this film, it was condensed into the succinct slogan "Get wise, organize!"

Post subject: Reheating meat
I'm always told so many different things on this topic.
Bear in mind I'm a student....so don't be too horrified, but this is what I did recently:
I made a chicken/cheese sauce/spaghetti meal and ate most of it. The remainder, I put on a plate....and then forgot about for a day.
The next day, after it had been just sitting on the side, I reheated it in the microwave. I then forgot about it again.... (yes, this is common).
day, I remembered, reheated it a final time, and ate it.
I had no tummy-problems at all. So.... did I actually break any cardinal reheating rules there (I mean apart from the fact that it would clearly taste awful!)

OK, keep in mind that I've just started culinary school and was doing homework for my class in Safety and Sanitation just before I read your post. Also, since I've been taking this class, stuff that I would have happily eaten for the last 18 years I've been cooking for myself, I've been tossing in the trash lately...
Bacteria grows best between 5C and 57C. The US standard for discarding food is 4 hours held between these temps. Reheating after 24 hours may have killed some of the bacteria, depending on how hot you got it, but another reheat after 48 hours is just asking for trouble. That's what the book says, anyway.

Yeah, don't do that.
However, I've seen my boss eat some horrible things and he's still alive. This goes from 9 day old donuts, to leaving a chicken pot pie out for 3 days and still eat it, without heating it up. Same with bagel dogs, sandwiches. Left over Chinese food in the fridge for over 2 weeks? No problem. 3 week old Egg Rolls? YUM ! Condiments and jarred cherries in the fridge for 12 years? I finally tossed them when he wasn't looking, I got a rash for that, let me tell you. Half eaten sandwiches left all over the building get consumed even 4 days out. This is only the tip of the burg here, the list goes even further and grosserer. You'd think a chemist and physicist would know better? Nope. I've got some pictures somewhere of the time when he'd been being really sloppy with the fish oil he drinks, it splashed for quite some time on the plastic of the door on the fridge. Over time it softened then ate away the plastic. Creepy stuff.
So, yeah I don't know what to say other than that you can surely do better.

If you simply must reheat something that was left out for a questionable amount of time, you might do better to reheat in the oven. Rumor has it that a conventional oven is better at killing bacteria than the microwave. Even food that was not properly cooked the first time can be saved with an oven reheat, provided its not
in E.coli, salmonella, or etc.
I'm pretty bad about the reheats though. I was making a crockpot oatmeal and would turn it off after it cooked so it wouldn't burn, but go a whole day at school with it sitting out, then proceed to wrap it up and eat the rest of it the next day! Totally gross. I don't do that anymore.

Please don't do this again. Food safety is a matter of minimizing risks as much as possible. You are just plain lucky you didn't get sick.
According to
Age and physical condition place some persons at higher risk than others, no matter what type of bacteria is implicated. Very young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with compromised immune systems are at greatest risk from any pathogen. Some persons may become ill after ingesting only a few harmful bacteria; others may remain symptom free after ingesting thousands.

Killing the bacteria is important yes! BUT as part of their life cycle they make toxins as a byproduct. these toxins are a chemical...they cannot be destroyed by heating or cooking.....MOST foodborne illnesses in the US are in fact caused by the toxins these bad (pathogenic) bacteria leave behind.
We have built up a tolerance for some toxins and bacteria and some of us have even stronger tolerances......but beware of the groups of persons who have not.....babies, pregnant women, those on certain medications and the elderly. Their immune systems tend to be weakened and what might no cause you any ill effects could actually kill them.

The first footage of "127 Hours," starring James Franco as the real-life God-among-Men who hacked off his own arm to escape being pinned by a boulder at the bottom of a canyon, has arrived. Gotta hand it to 'em, they've managed to put together a reasonably light, fun teaser for an impossibly grim story.
Franco plays Aron Ralston, who in 2003 found himself with his right arm trapped under a large rock while hiking near Moab, Utah. Over the next 127 hours he videotaped a daily diary, began drinking his urine after running out of water, and carved himself a headstone in the canyon wall before deciding he had only one hope for survival.
"It occurred to me I could break my bones," Ralston told the Los Angeles Times in 2003. "I was able to first snap the radius and then within another few minutes snap the ulna at the wrist and from there, I had the knife out and applied the tourniquet and went to task. It was a process that took about an hour."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Director Danny Boyle has acknowledged that Ralston's story, while gripping, heroic and inspiring, is a tough sell, especially for film.
"It's a lovely way of doing a new kind of filmmaking, really," Boyle told Empire in discussing the YouTube-like nature of the film. "We want it to be a challenge to you [the audience] to see if you can sit and watch it."
Frankly, just writing the second graf of this piece was "challenging," actually watching Franco and Boyle recreate Ralston's story is daunting.

Apple Inc. reported a 7% increase in quarterly profit, amid intensifying competition for mobile devices, and announced increases to its stock buyback and dividend programs.
Chief Executive Tim Cook said the company chose to expand its stock-buyback program by $30 billion because it views its shares as undervalued.
"That should show you how much confidence we have in the future of the company," Cook said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
The company said it would boost the overall size of its capital return program to more than $130 billion by the end of 2015, up from its previous $100 billion plan.
After more than a decade of remarkable earnings growth, the Cupertino, Calif., technology giant's revenue and profit are flattening and the company is fighting the perception that its best days are behind it. It has promised to expand its product line-up and drive growth as it did with the iPhone and iPad.
Apple said net income was $10.22 billion in its fiscal second quarter ended March 29 versus $9.55 billion in the year-ago period. However, Apple's earnings per share rose to $11.62 from $10.09, because the company's stock repurchase program decreased the pool of total shares.
Revenue rose to $45.6 billion from $43.60 billion in the same period a year earlier.
" Apple's earnings per share rose to $11.62 from $10.09, because the company's stock repurchase program decreased the pool of total shares. "
Analysts, on average, estimated that Apple would post earnings of $10.18 per share on revenue of $43.53 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
Cook pointed to the iPhone as an area of strength for the company. Apple said it sold 43.7 million iPhone units in the three months ended March 29, far surpassing analysts' expectations of sales of 38.2 million units. He said the company saw strength across its entire line-up of phone models including the less-expensive 5C and that it was bolstered by strength across many markets including China, Vietnam and Poland.
The iPhone remains Apple's most important product. It is the largest contributor to revenue and is its most profitable hardware product. However, the iPhone is steadily losing market share to smartphones running on Google Inc.'s Android operating system.
In recent years, as rivals rolled out larger-screen displays and lower-price offerings, Apple has held the line on iPhone prices while keeping the screen size relatively small compared to the competition. The Journal has reported that Apple is working on a larger-screen iPhone for release later this year.
The growing competition for smartphones is also hurting Apple's main rival, Samsung Electronics Co. When the company reports earnings next week, Samsung is expected to report a second straight year-on-year decline in quarterly operating profit as demand for its Galaxy smartphones has started to slow.

Victory Storm King Imperial Stout - Purchased at a liquor store in Fairview Heights, Illinois (thanks, STLHops). This one is a ratebeer 100 - surely a beer not to be missed, right? I've written about dark beers before, but I don't think I've ever come across one this dark. A black as paint body supports a thin moon surface of a head. Nose of sweet chocolate milk with just a tiny hint of alcohol. There's not so much a front to this beer as a full on flavor assault - a little bitter on the front of the tongue, but mainly a roasty whole-mouth chocolate flavor. There's a little bit of a tight alcohol and lingering hop bite on the back end. This is a very good beer, but not the sort of flavor enigma that are many highly ranked stouts. Unlike Matt, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy this again.

Kasteel Rouge - A "Belgian Ale with Cherries and Cherry Juice Added". Cream soda body with a cherry Tootsie Pop flavor - complete with hints of that Tootsie Pop center. My notes say "give this to kids, they'll love it." That's a joke.
Lindeman's Kreik Lambic - When drinking cherry beer with children, why not have a comparison? We called over the neighborhood delinquents and got them trashed on this stuff. A finger of head on the light red body - a hint of that lambic funkiness, and light on the tongue. We really didn't get any kids drunk. Cats? I plead the fifth.

Aventinus Weizen Eisbock - Eisbocks are a high alcohol version of the weizenbock style - beers frozen to remove that pesky water from the beer, leaving more alcohol and flavor per volume.
A huge fizzy head sits on a sweet tea body - lots of floaties (leftover yeast) in this bubbly and active bodied brew. A belgian-like sweet bubblegum nose, with just a hint of nailpolish lead to a sweet carmelly body. You may have noticed that this beer was sweet - perhaps the sweetest I've ever had. Definitely worth revisiting - this is a beer we need to roundtable.

Do you ever find yourself working on different scripts at once? Maybe you are working on something that tests certain functionality in SQL Server, you have some presentation scripts you are working on, and possibly three or four scripts related to a project at work. I find myself in a situation like this from time to time – multiple scripts open checking this or that.
How do you organize your scripts? Do you leave them all open in SSMS? Do you create a folder structure on your disk somewhere and set yourself a reminder task? I have left them all open in SSMS on occasion because I wanted to come back to them and work on them and it can help remind me where I am in the thought process and what needs to be done next.
Did you know that there is a feature in SSMS to help you with organizing yourself? It's not there just to help you get organized – but it can also help with efficiency and recoverability of files. I'll explain the recoverability a bit later.
SSMS has a feature called "Solution Explorer." Much like Visual Studio or BIDs (which is Visual Studio), you have the ability to create a solution file to manage your projects. This solution can then be stored on disk and updated as you progress through the solution or projects.
If you want to display this feature, click the View Menu from the toolbar and then select "Solution Explorer." This will open a new pane in your management studio from which you can add new or existing projects as well as rename the solution. To the right is an example of one of my solutions. In this image, you can see that I have two projects displayed associated with this particular solution. In these projects, I have loaded numerous script files for each of the projects as I work on them. Some of these scripts are testing the results of stored procs, while others may be stored procs, and yet others may be tables. What the script performs immaterial to Solution Explorer.
Should I decide that I need multiple files open from the project, I can highlight them all and open them all at once. Nothing earth shattering, but now I have an easy way to see the files associated with each task or project as I work on the task/project.
The project files are stored in XML format and are saved off to disk in a directory of your liking. An unfortunate problem with this kind of storage is the sorting of your scripts in the project. Despite this problem there is a way to fix it. I found the fix for that at this blog. It is nice to have scripts sorted properly to your liking. I recommend giving that blog a read and I would recommend the use of this feature in SSMS – if you aren't doing something already (for instance in Visual Studio, SVN or something like that).
I like having the ability to see all of the scripts quickly that I may need on the same screen I am working in. I can bounce quickly between the scripts as needed and I don't necessarily have to keep them open indefinitely while working out the task at hand.
I mentioned earlier that it also helps with the recoverability of files. Let me explain a bit. Have you ever been in the middle of working on a script and then the dreaded forced shutdown occurs due to updates? Just in case you did not get your files saved, SSMS has an autorecover feature as well as an autosave feature. Files that are Autorecover and Autosave (recovered) are saved commonly in Solution1. They are stored in your user profile directory and can be brought back so you can continue working on them.
Should you need to find these files, here is a common path you can use to retrieve them.
%userprofile%\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\Backup Files\Solution1
Do you want to learn more about this feature? Check out the Microsoft documentation on the topic. You can view that here.
Something that I really like about this feature is the ability to create a script either directly in the project, add an existing script, or take a script that you started working on outside of the project and move it into the project from within SSMS. It took me a bit of looking to find how to add a script from SSMS directly to the project (when not initiated from within the project). It is really easy to do once you find it. Here is how to do it.
With the focus in SSMS active on the script you wish to move, click on the File menu. From the File menu you will have an option to Move the script that you are currently working on in SSMS. From there Select the appropriate project and it is that simple.
*Note: In the example of the image being displayed, you can see that the query was SQLQuery1.sql that I wanted to move.

CRESTVIEW � Although Nataly Green hasn't dealt with bullying in her first weeks of kindergarten at Walker Elementary School, her parents wanted her to be prepared.
CRESTVIEW � Although Nataly Green hasn't dealt with bullying in her first weeks of kindergarten at Walker Elementary School, her parents wanted her to be prepared.
"In case she is (bullied), we hope she can defend herself," said Nathan Green, Nataly's father.
Nathan and his wife, Laura, brought their 5-year-old daughter to the free "Stop the Bully" self-defense training on Saturday at Gordon Martial Arts after learning about it from their daughter's school.
Nataly said she enjoyed learning more about bullying tactics and how to protect herself.
"It's really serious when a bully comes up to you and tries to be mean," she said.
However, Nataly is confident that she can handle such a situation.
"I will be prepared, definitely," she said.
Greg Bledsoe, who instructed children with other staffers� assistance, said self-defense basics include one key lesson.
"The first thing we tell them is to avoid ... any confrontations,� he said.
Before matters get out of hand, children should inform a parent or teacher, and use self-defense as a last resort, Bledsoe said.
Mary Way, impressed by the free session, registered her 5-year-old son, John, for martial arts lessons.
"We are going to teach him a proper way of how to handle (bullying)," she said.
Way is confident that martial arts can prevent children from bullying.
"I think it will make the kids more aware of what they can do to protect themselves," Way said.

The mood at last weekend's California Republican Party convention was slightly more upbeat than it's been for the last few years. But it wasn't, by and large, delusional.
Despite incessant grumbling, and polling data and registration figures that show the Grand Old Party may be headed for extinction in the Golden State, the party faithful should have been buoyant.
Delegates did seem pumped by President Barack Obama's slipping approval ratings in this Bluest of Blue States (where a recent Field Poll showed his ratings dropping below 50 percent for the first time).
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
One particularly giddy activist marched up to me and shouted, "We'll never have another Democratic President."
Delegates cheered significant GOP victories in two recent special elections.
One was in the predictably Republican 2nd Congressional District in Nevada, a state that Obama won handily in 2008, but in which the battered economy has sunk the President's approval ratings.
The other GOP victory came in NYC's 9th CD, which hadn't elected a Rep. in over 80 yrs.
Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, the event's keynoter, bolstered morale telling the crowd, "I believe that 2012 will be a wave election that goes all across the United States and will even take in the Golden State." (Delegates seemed to like a lot that Bachmann said, but not so much the candidate; she finished fourth in the GOP's straw poll.)
However, where it really counted, the California Republican Party seemed to be going through the motions.
There was the usual, every-two years' talk from California's GOP leaders about "voter outreach," especially among Latinos.
But there's been little movement on that so far and GOP activists showed no stomach for addressing the immigration divide that must be bridged before the GOP can woo back that burgeoning electorate.
Only four of the declared GOP Presidential candidates showed up—including Bachmann and Ron Paul (Paul, who was the rock star of the convention, came in first in the straw poll, thanks to a brigade of young followers).
But neither current front-runner Rick Perry nor erstwhile front-runner Mitt Romney showed up—even though Mitt was all over SoCal, hitting the money trail.
It was as if he'd Googled an alternate route around the state just to avoid facing the party faithful.
Perry supporters did show the flag with signs, an empty hospitality room and not much else. All that left some delegates grumbling—again—about California's position at the end of the primary line.
Despite Democratic Senator Diane Feinstein's slipping poll numbers, there was a dearth of potential GOP candidates beating the drums to challenge her in 2012—although California "birther" leader Orly Taitz told the Sacramento Bee she was "mulling" a challenge.
With dwindling electoral prospects and the advent of the top-two primary, the GOP state convention is clearly not where the action is. Incumbent lawmakers and even would-be candidates for the legislature and Congress seemed to be in short supply.
The only thing that truly seemed to get the juices flowing for many GOP activists is an intense hatred of President Obama, whom they seem to view as some kind of evil outlier who is out to steal their freedom and their wallets.
Moderate Republicans weren't very happy with the weekend's portents; but there weren't very many of them around.
In the final hours of the convention, a move to adopt a more moderate party platform was defeated.
A long-time, moderate activist sighed, "I miss my party."

Texas Governor Speaks Out on Release of Immigrants
The Texas Governor, outraged at the release of undocumented immigrants due to Federal budget cuts, has written a letter of protest to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Reports that the federal government released thousands of previously detained undocumented immigrants last week from detention centers because of budget cuts have prompted a harsh rebuke from Gov. Rick Perry.
On Monday, the governor asked Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton in a letter to provide details to state and local authorities about the released immigrants, who the federal government said were deemed low-level offenders. The Associated Press reported that the administration, citing the looming budget cuts due to sequestration, released thousands of immigrants and not only hundreds as previously stated by ICE.
Perry said the release of the undocumented immigrants was "unconscionable," adding that the move "far surpasses the grandstanding Americans have come to associate with sequestration talks by potentially jeopardizing the safety of 26 million Texans." He also targeted what he called the federal government's failure to ensure border security.
"The lack of transparency and coordination between your agency and the states and citizens most affected by this decision is appalling. Americans deserve better from our federal government," Perry wrote. "Aside from allowing this federally sponsored jailbreak to occur, ICE has also failed to provide any information regarding the number of detainees released, their countries of origin, locations where these individuals have been released, and the reasons they were detained despite repeated requests from my office."
Texas is home to several immigration detention centers, including some that are privately run. It also utilizes the Secure Communities program, which checks the fingerprints of those arrested against a federal database to determine if the person detained is deportable under current immigration laws.
The release came just days before the across-the-board budget cuts that took effect Friday. State and federal lawmakers sounded alarm bells early on about what the cuts could mean for border security and trade. The drawdown could mean as many as 5,000 U.S. Border Patrol agents and 2,750 Customs and Border Protection agents could be furloughed.
The massive release also came the same week the Government Accountability Office released a report stating that violent crime in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico fell steadily from 2004 to 2011.

NATIONAL PARK GEMS: It's National Park Week, that time of year when fees to enter dozens of our glorious parks are waived. Yosemite is one such park, but it doesn't have to worry that visitors will trickle away after the free days go. On the contrary, summertime and the waterfall-laden destination go way back on the family vacation front. Meaning that while the park gets an uptick of visits during National Park Week, the soon-to-come summer will really hum. This means that a lot of activities start up around late April, including the Valley Floor Tour, the opening of the stables, and other outdoorsy pursuits. One we're feeling rather sweet on, though, is the Big Trees Tram Tour at Mariposa Grove. The outside-the-valley tour, which is near the south entrance (and not too far from Wawona Lodge), just opened for the 2013 season on Saturday, April 18.
THE STORY OF SEQUOIAS: The tram tour is not hosted by a ranger but rather features an audio component. Meaning? You'll strap on some headphones and sit back for the hour and fifteen minutes drive. An adult ticket is $26.50, and they're not reservable, so get to the Mariposa Grove Gift Shop early on the day you want to see the trees. The tours run through October.
MEET MARIPOSA GROVE: Around 500 mature sequoias populate this Yosemite tree-laden favorite. Yep, sequoias are often called the largest living things on earth, so you'll be doing a lot of looking/marveling/ahhing/oohing. There's a lot of age-talk with these trees, too, so if you're on the tour prepare to hear about how some of the specimens in the grove are over 3,000 years old. Yep, very ahh/ooh-worthy, indeed.

I'm stepping down from the RC. I don't have the time to do it justice right now, and when I do have time later I'd prefer to spend it cleaning up the wiki (lookin at you races) and finishing beating ToP with the edit hammer. There isn't a lot of rating going on right now anyway, possibly because of the stalled adjustment discussions, but I figured I'd at least open a seat up and see if that didn't get some things moving again.
I don't have anyone in mind to take over, so if you want the job / responsibility drop a line here, some stuff will happen, and you might have it at the end of the day. It's not like we ever worked out a succession plan as far as I can recall, so I have no idea how this will work out. - TarkisFlux 03:48, March 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Alas Tarkisflux for I, The Grand Lord Jay, do hereby deny your request. Thats right! Denied. I evoke my ultimate power as Grand-Lord-Omnipotent-Taskmaster-of-Awesomeness and revoke your submission. Muahahahaha. You are hereby placed on "Standby". Here you shall remain until you change your mind and start rating articles again. The Grand Lord Jay has spoken!

Open Thread: What's Your Favorite Fast Food Mash-Up?
If you've ever ordered a McFlurry, you know that it all boils down to the ultimate decision: M&M or Oreo. In middle school, it was a topic of heated debate—the Oreos taunted the M&Ms, wielding that caustic coupling of incredulity and scorn that has systematically crippled the spirits of eleven year olds since...forever. To this day, though the taunting may have diminished, McFlurry eaters seem to remain vocally, indelibly attached to their topping of choice.
But here's the thing. What if I told you that you could break free from your years of torturous bondage? What if I told you that there's something better, something bigger than a mere Oreo or M&M McFlurry?
What if I told you that I'd wheeled and dealed and eyelash-batted my way into the most epic frozen dessert of all time? Yeah. That's right. I order The Oreo AND M&M McFlurry. No, I don't get my way every time. But some patience and a good sense of humor usually wins 'em over, and if it doesn't, don't despair! Just order yourself an Oreo McFlurry and stir in a personal bag of M&Ms.

Farmingdale, N.Y. - Sophomore forward Lauren Bulk's (Portsmouth, R.I.) unassisted goal with 8:22 remaining led Salve Regina to a 1-0 victory over Farmingdale State on the second day of the Rams Classic.
In a scoreless, evenly matched first half, both teams attempted six shots and the Seahawks (1-1) held a 5-2 corner kick advantage.
Farmingdale State (1-1) senior goalkeeper Stacey Rao (Ronkonkoma, N.Y.) made a diving save on the shot by freshman forward Melissa Figueiredo (East Bridgewater, Mass.) before the ball rebounded in front and Bulk netted the game-winning score for Salve Regina.
Rao and freshman Breanna Blair (Littleton, Colo.) split time in goal for the Rams and recorded six and three saves, respectively. Junior goalie Jacqueline McPherson (Mansfield, Mass.) made five saves in the win for the Seahawks.
Farmingdale State next will travel to Skidmore on Saturday, September 8th for a non-conference game at 1:00 p.m.

Des Moines, Iowa, USA - March 18, 2008 - A group of some 15 chimpanzees isolated in a pocket of Rwandan rain forest will have a greater range - and, thus, greater chances for survival - thanks to one of Africa's most ambitious forest restoration and ecological research efforts ever. Organizers of the project, named the Rwandan National Conservation Park, said today that a 30-mile (50km) tree corridor will be planted to connect the Gishwati Forest Reserve, the chimpanzees' home range, to Nyungwe National Park.
The Rwandan National Conservation Park is a collaborative effort of the Rwandan government; Great Ape Trust of Iowa, a scientific research facility in Des Moines, Iowa; and Earthpark, a national environmental education center proposed for Pella, Iowa. The project in Gishwati was unveiled at the Clinton Global Initiative last fall by Rwanda President H.E. Paul Kagame and Ted Townsend, founder of Great Ape Trust and Earthpark.
"This is an ambitious plan, but the Gishwati chimpanzees are on the brink of extinction. Every newly planted tree increases their chance of survival by providing additional food, shelter and security from people," said Dr. Benjamin Beck, director of conservation at Great Ape Trust. "If we direct the reforestation southward, there is the additional advantage of bringing them closer to a larger, more secure population in the Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda and the Kibira National Park in Rwanda, with a combined total of about 800 chimpanzees. Once they make contact, the Gishwati chimpanzees will enjoy a wider pool of prospective mates, and thus can avoid inbreeding."
The Gishwati Forest, in Rwanda's Western Province, was deforested in the 1980s by agricultural development and in the 1990s during the resettlement of people following the civil war and genocide. Human encroachment, deforestation, grazing and the introduction of small-scale farming resulted in extensive soil erosion, flooding, landslides and reduced water quality - as well as the isolation of a small population of chimpanzees.
A team from Great Ape Trust and Earthpark toured the Gishwati region in late 2007, hosted by representatives from the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) and Rwanda National Forestry Authority (NAFA). Meetings with MINITERE, REMA, NAFA, the Rwandan Office for Tourism and National Parks (ORTPN), the National University of Rwanda, the Wildlife Conservation Society and Great Ape Trust, resulted in four goals for the Gishwati project:
- Create Rwanda National Conservation Park, defined as conservation of biodiversity in an extensively degraded landscape, populated with low-income, small-scale agriculturalists.
- Restore ecosystem services in the form of improved water quality, reduced soil erosion and flooding, fewer landslides and increased sequestration of carbon.
- Restore natural biodiversity with special emphasis on chimpanzees as a keystone and flagship species.
- Generate income through ecotourism, investment opportunity and local employment.
"We must of course find ways to adequately and sustainably compensate people whose agricultural productivity is decreased by reforestation," Beck added. "One answer will be a new ecotourism destination resulting in employment opportunities as trackers and forest managers."
The next step for the Rwandan National Conservation Park project is to hire a program coordinator. Candidates for the position will be interviewed in Kigali this month by Dr. Beck. Subsequent steps proposed for 2008 include:
- Begin a study of the behavioral ecology of the Gishwati chimpanzee population to determine population size, resource and space use, patterns of social and reproductive behavior, degree of genetic relatedness, patterns of tool use and communication, health and nutritional status and degree of human conflict.
- Expand the existing Gishwati core forest by at least 200 hectares (500 acres)
- Through National University of Rwanda, acquire satellite images and ground mapping information to plan a Gishwati to Nyungwe forest corridor to incorporate Gishwati as a functional component of Nyungwe National Park.
- Create a 'corridor laboratory' in Nyungwe National Park. This pilot forest corridor of 10km (6 miles) would connect the main block of Nyungwe NP to Cyamudongo, an isolated section of forest roughly the same size as Gishwati with a comparable population of chimpanzees. The test corridor will serve as a laboratory in which to study the use of the corridors by chimpanzees.
- Provide community education and economic development programs for those living around the Gishwati Forest Reserve. This would include employment opportunities for trackers for the chimpanzee study, planting and monitoring forest trees and technical support for the development of agricultural cooperatives.
- Restrict deforestation of the existing 102km core forest and riverbanks in the Gishwati Forest Reserve.
- Develop socioeconomic study of the human population living in and around Gishwati. Begin negotiations to establish sustainable livelihoods for occupants of land within area of core forest expansion.
Once the second-largest indigenous forest in Rwanda, Gishwati extended 1,0002 km (100,000 hectares or 250,000 acres) in the early 1900s. By the late 1980s, Gishwati was about one-fourth its original size. Resettlement by refugees following the 1994 genocide reduced the forest to about 62 km (600 hectares or 1,500 acres). Reforestation efforts during the past several years have increased Gishwati's forest to approximately 102 km (1,000 hectares or 2,500 acres).
Great Ape Trust of Iowa is a scientific research facility in Des Moines dedicated to understanding the origins and future of culture, language, tools and intelligence. When completed, it will be the largest great ape facility in North America and one of the first worldwide to include all four types of great ape - bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans - for noninvasive interdisciplinary studies of their cognitive and communicative capabilities. Great Ape Trust is dedicated to providing sanctuary and an honorable life for great apes, studying the intelligence of great apes, advancing conservation of great apes and providing a unique educational experience about great apes.
Earthpark will be an icon of ecological literacy and learning to improve the lives of people, species and the environment around the world. This unique learning campus will demonstrate sustainable and restorative solutions to the myriad ecological threats facing humanity, using state-of-the-art educational tools and online communication with schools, communities and government worldwide. Earthpark will include four acres of tropical rainforest, a 600,000-gallon aquarium and more than 1,000 species of plants and small animals in a re-created ecosystem.

Exhumed rocks reveal Mars water ran deep
By studying rocks blasted out of impact craters, ESA's Mars Express has found evidence that underground water persisted at depth for prolonged periods during the first billion years of the Red Planet's existence.
Impact craters are natural windows into the history of planetary surfaces – the deeper the crater, the further back in time you can probe.
In addition, rocks blasted out during the impact offer a chance to study material that once lay hidden beneath the surface.
In a new study, ESA's Mars Express and NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter zoomed in on craters in a 1000 x 2000 km region of the ancient southern highlands, called Tyrrhena Terra, to learn more about the history of water in this region.
Focusing on the chemistry of rocks embedded in the crater walls, rims and central uplifts, as well as the surrounding exhumed material, scientists identified 175 sites bearing minerals formed in the presence of water.
"The large range of crater sizes studied, from less than 1 km to 84 km wide, indicates that these hydrated silicates were excavated from depths of tens of metres to kilometres," says Damien Loizeau, lead author of the study.
"The composition of the rocks is such that underground water must have been present here for a long period of time in order to have altered their chemistry."
While the material excavated by impacts appears to have been in close contact with water, there is little evidence for rocks on the surface lying between the craters in Tyrrhena Terra having been altered by water.
"Water circulation occurred several kilometres deep in the crust some 3.7 billion years ago, before the majority of craters formed in this region," says co-author Nicolas Mangold.
"The water generated a diverse range of chemical changes in the rocks that reflect low temperatures near the surface to high temperatures at depth, but without a direct relationship to the surface conditions at that time."
By comparison, Mawrth Vallis, one of the largest identified clay-rich regions of Mars, displays a more uniform aqueous mineralogy that indicates a closer link with surface processes.
"The role of liquid water on Mars is of great importance for its habitability and this study using Mars Express describes a very large zone where groundwater was present for a long time," says Olivier Witasse, ESA's Mars Express project scientist.

Universal Unity – Inspirations & Inspirings from Source ~ New Earth Consciousness ~ short clips ~ by Joanna L. Ross
Joanna L. Ross was born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia Canada. At a very early age, she was infinitely inspired by life around her. A series of soul wrenching dreams was the catalyst to understanding her innate psychic abilities. Profound synchronistic events followed her desire to understand the realms that she would peek into when she was prescribed meditation. This marked the beginning of an infinite path of being a student to the Universe. Joanna's primary passion and life expression is to first be a student of creation. In utter gratitude, she is inspired to shared, educate, and enlighten those who desire to understand ascension, universal laws, and our great universal family within the cosmos. Joanna, a passionate Public Speaker, Esoteric Teacher, Intuitive Visionary, Author, and Ambassador for New Earth is here to tap into the vibrational frequency of the 5th dimensional new earth. In these incredibly accelerating times, our collective, our planet, is moving through a never before experienced ascension, which in turn, offers the potentials for humanity to move from a lower 3rd dimensional frequency, to a 5th dimensional light quotient.

5th Dimensional Consciousness: Profound Ways to Awaken Your Potential and Align with Future Contact shares key understandings about the shifts and changes we all see, experience, and know to be true as Gaia moves through planetary ascension. By tapping into this new energy, it is created and triggered from within. The pineal gland, along with various other physical components create the doorway for us to experience the expanded growth that is required for us to move up with Gaia, from 3rd to 5th resonating frequency. In this ascending process, we release, shift, and alter all that we are. We let go of old beliefs and unlock our true, hidden potential thereby allowing us to unite and build the bridge to the greater cosmos. Your ascension begins here.
In response to the overwhelming number of new awakenings upon Gaia, and with each and every new awakening, the electromagnetic energy spurs even greater potential for others to seek their own light. Our planetary awakening and ascension are the most pure examples of the 'snowball' effect; however, at this time, it is best described as the 'illuminated galactic human' effect. There have been many secrets kept from humanity as a whole since the beginning of our lives upon Earth, but we are now ready to step up into our 'new truth.' There is no greater force than Source essence revealed as a result of daily path work and inner seeking, and in this, there is no stronger vibration and power to create and manifest a true harmonic change.

This week, Steve sits down to chat with an old friend in El Salvador— No, we know what you're thinking, and it's not a bucket of Pollo Campero (although we're sure he considered it). It's newly-titled Director of Coffee at Viva Espresso in San Salvador and superstar World Barista Champion coach, Federico Bolanos!
Episode the 45th initially takes us back to the golden age of coffee blogs, books, and forums, when Federico—after hating and dismissing coffee for years—decides to give it another try for a girl (his now wife, Lily Pacas, 2008 Salvadoran Barista Champion; Café Tuxpal), landing him in a long-time love affair with learning everything he can about coffee. From there, Steve and Federico embark on a discussion of WBC, coaching, non-insular teamwork, and a once-unspoken-but-now-not-so-secret frustration with the current competition format before finishing with some interesting thoughts on the benefits of consolidating businesses. Also covered in this episode: the biggest mistake competitors make in preparing for competition, stalking coffee people, WBC trends over the years, why Federico wasn't to be seen at last year's WBC, and how bigger is sometimes better.

Back in the 70's, Captain Crunch cereal had an offer on the back of the box to mail in some proof of purchase and some dough and you'd get a cool plastic pumpkin decoration made from tiny plastic chips that look like bent holes from a hole-puncher. I remember the day it arrived and how excited I was. Running my fingers over the plastic lumpy face. My parents still have it at their house and use it every year.

Our neighbor across the street would put that same pumpkin up on the front of his house every year. And orange plastic with JOL lamps in the front windows.
Nothing was more exciting than to see his house light up for Halloween and then go digging in the upstairs closets for our own decorations to put up.

That's the first Halloween decoration I can remember having also. You can find them all over ebay. There's also a ghost made by the same process and, I think, by the same company.
Fond memories evoked by that decoration for me as well.

30 Eye-Catching Interiors Featuring The Iconic Eames Lounge Chair
By on in Inspiration
The first chair created by American design couple Charles and Ray Eames for the luxury market has been in our homes for 56 years. The Eames Lounge Chair adorns all kinds of spaces and we want to show you just how impressive this chair is. With time, comes experience, which can be translated here in this design's availability in different colors and large range of materials, which construct a distinct atmosphere around it. Entangled in a story that promises to continue, molded plywood and leather were combined in what would become an iconic design. Some details were changed over the years, adapting the production to modern technology – the original chair was made out of five layers of Brazilian rosewood veneer, while the modern version displays seven thin wood veneer layers shaped under heat and pressure. Comfy cushions have a zipper on the outer edge, connecting them to a stiff plastic backing that allowed the veneer to be smooth, uninterrupted by marks of screws or bolts.
This fruitful collaboration between the husband/wife team of designers and the manufacturers – Herman Miller furniture company – resulted in developing an internationally appreciated lounge chair, initially designed as a gift for the couple's friend Billy Wilder, the director of "Some Like It Hot" and "Sunset Blvd". Years of development led to the release of the iconic Eames Chair in 1956 and since then, it not only inspired other furniture items or objects, but it has remained a versatile piece of furniture still being produced for the US by Herman Miller and for Europe by Vitra (see here a video on how Vitra manufactures the Eames). During its "reign", the original Eames Chair and Ottoman has seen many copies being made – if only they had so many sources as we do now for protecting their work from design thieves – but we are all familiar with the striking impact of an original piece of furniture. Take as example the 30 eye-catching interiors featuring the iconic Eames Lounge Chair we have gathered for you, each one creating a special atmosphere and throning over different surrounding elements, unifying the interior design with a classic touch.

I presented a talk entitled Creating Content for Mobile Apps with Adobe Digital Publishing Solution at Adobe MAX 2015, and the recording is available here.
While the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite is a magazine platform that had many Enterprise applications, the Adobe Digital Publishing Solution (DPS 2015) is an Enterprise platform that can be used for magazines. Magazines are one of many use cases for which DPS 2015 is appropriate, and in this session, we see how to use a number of content sources in addition to InDesign to make articles for DPS 2015. These include but are not limited to Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Muse, Adobe Dreamweaver, Adobe Captivate, Adobe FrameMaker and even Adobe Acrobat.
It is clear that content producers have more choices than ever when it comes to making, managing and deploying content to readers on tablet and mobile devices. Adobe DPS 2015 offers Enterprises a flexible, measurable and cross-platform solution for a wide range of communications use cases.

Check the check: Learn to scam scammers
Beware of email bearing gifts– or, more precisely, those swearing on a stack o' Bibles that you've won a sweepstakes. That's the word from the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Richmond, which explained the shysters' techniques in a recent press release. Unlike the woman who paid $15,000 to claim a nonexistent $4.5 million prize, thankfully, I learned early on that the Internet's full of creeps who deserve my attention only as long as it takes to hit the delete key.
But some of those creeps have given me a new hobby: collecting phony cashier's checks and money orders, which I plan to turn into a scrapbook when I have enough. I realize this undoubtedly means that I have a semi-pathetic life. Be that as it may, if you too have a semi-pathetic life, I recommend this as a cheap (if somewhat lame) pastime.
I started by replying to the Nigerian scam letters we're so mind-numbingly familiar with, in which the wife/son/brother/daughter/housepet of a formally mighty person, who has been assassinated/deposed/felled by a fatal disease, wants our help in smuggling millions of dollars out of Nigeria/the Ivory Coast/Sierra Leone. In return, we get 10 percent of the booty.
For my first foray into the world of jerking jerks around, I assumed the persona of an elderly widow who was deeply affected by the e-mailer's tale of woe and replied with rambling descriptions of my grandson (the computer whiz who'd recently been suspended from school for high-tech hijinks), my late husband (a wonderful man), and members of my bridge club.
The shyster on the other end, after initially expressing sympathy, soon wearied and abruptly demanded action in the form of details about the widow's bank account. At that point the widow, no doubt wounded by his behavior, fell silent.
That was fun, but it took too much time. Nowadays I'll occasionally reply to a sob story and demand a 50 percent cut (which always evokes outrage), but usually I just send them to the trash.
Last spring, however, I discovered a whole new world of online fun when I advertised an apartment in my house in The Hook and the UVA online want ads. Suddenly, I was hearing from people on the other side of the world who were eager to rent the place. This may come as a surprise to readers, but I can be as gullible as a two-year-old– and I actually believed, for a while, that "Steven Warner," a missionary with Christ the King Evangelical Mission International (Lagos, Nigeria chapter), could be coming to Charlottesville for two months and legitimately want to rent my apartment, which I'd advertised as available for short-term lease. Innocently, I told him that the deposit would be $1,300, and he said his sponsors would send me a cashier's check.
Meanwhile, I heard from "Debby Rowe," a geologist in an offshore mining firm in South Africa, who described herself as "a lot of fun to be with." She, too, was coming here on sabbatical, and– amazing coincidence!– wanted to rent my apartment. I only realized things were fishy when she sent me the same message twice about how fun she is, and I told her to get lost.
In mid-June I got what appeared to be a legitimate cashier's check for $7,200 from Acme Portable Machines in Baldwin Park, California, and learned that Pastor Warner's church had included his travel expenses in my check. All I had to do, he informed me, was wire the $5,900 balance to his agent in London.
By then I was wise to his game; I also thought it was a great game for the wise. About that time I decided to remodel the apartment, and took it off the market. Inquiries continued to arrive, however, and I collected three bogus checks in all before the emails stopped coming.
The apartment will be back on the market this spring, though, and I rub my hands in glee at the thought of the fun to come. Semi-pathetic, perhaps, but distinctly rewarding.

By Jeanene Light, MLS
As most National Institute of Health (NIH) Principal Investigators (PI's) and authors have heard, beginning in Spring 2013, NIH may delay funds from grant-holders not in compliance with the public access policies. The public policy requires all peer-reviewed articles published with direct NIH support to report PMCID numbers within 12 months of publication.
MyNCBI has been adapted to serve PI's as a tool for determining compliance and for reporting PubMed Central (PMC) articles. Author-researchers can "associate" their publications with their NIH grants, track their compliance in PMC, and create bibliographies for reporting to the NIH. It is as simple as signing into MyNCBI with an eRA Commons username and password.
The University of Vermont's Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA) , and Jeanene Light, MLS, Dana Medical Library, have teamed up to provide tools to assist PI's and authors reach compliance. The Dana Medical Library's research guide at: http://danaguides.uvm.edu/NIH-Public-Policy provides assistance in identifying journals that submit automatically to PMC, specifies procedures for submitting articles "manually", and offers copyright transfer agreement advice. The research guide also includes links to NIH FAQ's and videos, as well as contact information for Ms. Light and SPA administrators.
Additionally, the Sponsored Project Administration office now has access to the Public Access Compliance Monitor which provides the current compliance status of all journal articles that NIH believes a particular grantee institution is responsible for under the terms of the Public Access Policy. In addition to classifying articles according to compliance status, the compliance monitor provides detailed information about each article: a full citation; associated grants and program directors/principal investigators (PDs/PIs); the PubMed ID and related IDs where available; and a link to the PubMed record. Institutions can also track the status of papers deposited into the NIH Manuscript Submission (NIHMS) system.
For a quick, eight minute video highlighting the changes and the procedures, watch the video produced by NYU's Health Sciences Libraries: bit.ly/11Q39kY. If you have further questions, please contact Jeanene Light or your SPA administrator.
Scholarly Communications Corner is a new column in the Dana Medical Library Newsletter featuring relevant information on a variety of scholarly communications topics from open access to digital repositories.


text: Padel is a racquet sport that is becoming increasingly popular. It has gained rapid acceptance due to its simplicity and similarities to other popular racket sports. The sport was invented in Acapulco, Mexico, by Enrique Corcuera in 1969. It is currently very popular in South or Central American countries such as Argentina, Brazil or Mexico as well as in Spain, and it is now beginning to spread rapidly across Europe and other continents. Padel is a combination of great assets of other racquet sports such as tennis or squash. The game of padel is a doubles game on a playing surface of 20mx10m, with a net in the middle and glass walls and metal grid on the back and side. People enjoy playing Padel, as it is easy to learn, promotes teamwork, whilst improving their hand-eye coordination. It is a family game – men and women, and youth can compete together without physical strength being the sole determinate of the winner. New players to racquet sports, of all ages, will find it an easy and accessible, however for those more advanced players coming from tennis or squash, Padel can be equally demanding as it requires new skills and disciplines that sets it apart from other racquet sports.
