I often envy the UK, as they seem to reward quality music with high chart positions and popularity a lot more than over here in the US. Case in point- The Stone Roses are regarded in the UK as "legendary" but here they seem to have been just moderately successful. I'd been a fan of other Manchester-based bands such as New Order since the mid-80s, but it wasn't until the early 1990s that I had heard of The Stone Roses (after one radio station in Sacramento was finally brave enough to half-heartedly pick up the "modern rock" format) and then mostly just via the singles "I Wanna Be Adored" (which always sounded to me like "I Wanna Be Your Dog") and "Made of Stone." Like several other bands of the era, they had a rather dark sound with psychedelic influence. Lead singer Ian Brown's vocals usually sounded whispered to me, which was what made their sound stand out.
"Made of Stone" is a document on the Stone Roses' "live resurrection", after the members (Ian Brown, John Squire, Gary "Mani" Mounfield and Alan "Reini" Wren) decided to re-form for a concert tour after being apart for a few years. Director Shane Meadows had already been a long-time fan and was eager to document their reunion. The main segments consist of the band's press conference announcing their getting back together and upcoming tour, rehearsing, a surprise free show at Parr Hall in Warrington, and then footage of their concerts in Barcelona, Lyon and Amsterdam (where drummer Reini abruptly left before any encore could be played) before finally playing their three big comeback shows at Manchester's Heaton Park. In between these moments, archival film and video footage dating from the 80s through the early 90s is shown, of the band playing early gigs, recording, and some interviews. Unfortunately, all of this originally 4x3 footage is stretched out to 16x9, making everyone look short and fat. A number of magazine articles flash across the screen as well, which can be paused and read.
Most music documentaries fall into either having a good amount of performance footage or concentrating more on backstage footage and talking, and "Made of Stone" fits the latter. Only three complete songs are performed over the 100-minute running time: "Waterfall" during the rehearsal section with some good use of split-screen, "Adored" from the free Parr Hall show, and a powerful 15-minute performance of "Fools Gold" at Heaton Park. A number of other songs are excerpted, but ultimately there's more talk than music here. A good amount of time is spent on the Roses' fans, such as the line-up for the surprise free show where many run to secure a spot (they had to show a Stone Roses record or CD cover to gain admission) and express their admiration of the band to the camera, and subsequently are seen inside singing along enthusiastically. Reini's exit in Amsterdam was a surprise, and Shane Meadows follows that by speaking to the camera unsure whether the tour will continue at this point. While little behind-the-scenes details of that incident are given, the shot of the massive Heaton Park crowd tells us that things were worked out in the end.
The new footage appears to have been shot digitally, but I could not find any confirmation. The film-like picture is very clear and detailed, with much of it shot in black and white (looking a bit odd only from the lack of film grain) with color reserved mostly for the big reveal of the final show. Many still photos and magazine clippings are displayed which also look pristine. Unfortunately the archival film and video footage is stretched making that hard to watch.
Both a 2-channel PCM and 5.1 channel Dolby Digital track are included. The 5.1 track keeps most of the music in the front left and right channels, with vocals and any voice-overs isolated in the center. Surrounds aren't used a lot except for crowd noise during the concert footage.
A commentary track with director Shane Meadows speaking in the right channel and producer Mark Herbert on the left is included, which is mostly conversational as they comment on the band in general but also talk a bit about how "Made of Stone" came together as the final outcome was uncertain. Over the archival footage they remark that they considered using just that if they weren't able to get any new footage of the band. They make a point of much of this old footage being "never before seen", but don't explain why they chose to stretch it out to 16x9 rather than keeping it at 4x3 or at least cropping it so the proportions stayed correct.
There are a number of other extras, which have a "Play All" option in the disc menu but a couple are skipped over with that selected. At Parr Hall, Meadows is seen talking about his hopeful outcome for the documentary. A fun 20-second clip of footage shot by a fan's cell phone at the Heaton Park show has Ian Brown grab it and make faces at the camera before handing it back to the excited concert-goer. There are two additional complete song performances of "She Bangs the Drums" in Japan and "Shoot You Down" at the Parr Hall show, and a trailer for the documentary. Finally, there's a "false start" outtake from the rehearsal footage, where "I Wanna Be Adored" is played only to stop after a missed note. Very strangely, this is repeated about six times over, and examining the disc on my computer it seems this is another authoring glitch as the segment is only physically there once. The pop-up menu during playback is also a bit glitchy as it locks up when selecting audio tracks, but can still be easily closed and audio tracks can also be switched with the player's Audio button.
Ultimately your enjoyment of "Made of Stone" will depend mostly on your appreciation and familiarity with The Stone Roses and their music. Those who are already fans will probably love most of it, but viewers with little more than a passing interest may be put off by the music taking a back seat to the other goings-on. I personally would have preferred many more full song performances than what we get here, with the rest of the final show in Manchester being a glaring omission.
"Made of Stone" has also been released separately on standard DVD.

2011 is the year of The Shift. We're seeing a lot of changes happening in Austin, throughout Texas and America. Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know the population trends are changing in every community across our nation and forming the New America. An America that is younger, growing and more diverse. This year, with the support of TANO, Austin Community Foundation, Sooch Foundation and others, I've had the opportunity to launch Engage501 and connect with many nonprofit leaders across Texas and equip them with strategies that will help them build relationships with Latino and Multicultural communities that will ultimately create fundraisers, board members, volunteers and advocates within these communities. It's been a great experience connecting with nonprofits, learning about their successes and areas where they need help, and I look forward to continuing the conversation.
Want to get started? Read my article on The Shift.
The Shift: What nonprofits can do to engage a changing U.S. population
By Mando Rayo
In case you've been under a rock, you should know that right now we're on the verge of a major population shift, and your organization may not be ready.
The shift is this: According to the most recent Census brief, "Overview of Race and Hispanic Origin 2010," both the Hispanic and Asian populations grew by 43 percent. Consider the fact that "America's minorities account for an estimated 85 percent of U.S. population growth over the last decade" and more than half of the increase is due to the Latino population, which is now at 50.5 Million. (*U.S. Census) These numbers tell the story of a new America; America that is becoming more multicultural and interweaving our histories, traditions, cultures and people into a new nation.
To say that nonprofits aren't ready for this shift implies that nonprofits don't already engage this population, at least not as donors, board members, volunteers and advocates. For many nonprofits, it's hard to visualize more minorities on this side of the table. But at the same time, we must also questions whether we're serving these populations as best we can. If we're not connecting with those who can help us, why would we assume we're reaching all of those who need us?
This is not an obstacle, it's an enormous opportunity.
By engaging and building trust with Latinos, African-Americans, Asians and all diverse populations, nonprofits stand to benefit from authentic leadership on their board that goes beyond tokenism, fundraising opportunities that have gone untapped by mainstream organizations, increased awareness and engagement with services, programs and volunteer activities and relevance in a growing multicultural America.
In order for nonprofits to truly achieve their missions, they need diverse insights, perspectives, influence, connections, fundraisers, and advocates and by engaging and creating meaningful relationships with these communities, we begin to improve all communities across America.
As we know when we build trust with volunteers and donors, they are more likely to give even more of their time, talent and treasure. A few fundraising examples include $1 Million raised with low wage workers through United Way and local grocer-HEB, $125,000 raised through what might be the first Hispanic giving circle in the country, FuturoFund Austin and nationally, $4.7 Million raised with a Spanish radio telethon with Univision and St. Jude's Hospital.
Now let's get practical. What can nonprofits do now to engage with these multicultural communities? Here are some suggestions:
Start today. You don't have to have a perfect plan, you just to do it; reach out and be authentic in your approach.
Connect with the culture. When you understand and honor peoples' culture, traditions and histories, you get closer to building trust and connecting with them in meaningful ways. Take time to understand peoples' backgrounds, experiences and motivations. Remember, multicultural groups are not monolithic.
Build relationships. If you're looking for board members, build relationships with formal and informal leaders from these communities. Don't just go with the usual suspects, reach out to new and upcoming leaders. Connect and collaborate with cultural groups and organizations that are deep-rooted in these communities.
Be a resource. Think about how your organization can be a resource to these communities. Take time to understand their needs, wants and aspirations. It's about meeting their needs, your organizations' needs and meeting in the middle or reaching the sweet spot. Once you hit the sweet spot, you can move forward together.
Understand your market. Be clear on whom you're trying to engage and the best strategies to reach them. To reach young professionals, use leadership opportunities, social events and online networks; to reach families, be flexible and utilize family friendly activities and to reach new immigrants, utilize church networks and Spanish language media.
Make your organizational brand multicultural friendly. Show the diversity of your organization, leaders and people you serve through your marketing materials. It's important to balance how you showcase the people you serve and your organization's leadership; show how multicultural communities are contributing to your mission; don't just show them as recipients of services. Understand that your organization might have to go through a change to become more multicultural friendly. You might have to implement changes in your board structure or in how you deliver your services.
Go to the people. It's an age-old approach that works. Find out where people formally and informally gather. Sometimes it'll be online via social networks and other times it'll be at local community center or church. At first they'll ask "what are they doing here" and as you build the trust, they're going to be asking "why aren't they here?"
Be committed. Show up often and when it matters. Be committed for the long-haul and show you have their best interest at heart. Don't just outreach; engage people in the process. Be authentic and show that you care and you'll be on your way to recruiting the biggest advocates with these communities.

From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan
JOHNSTON, IA -- In the spin room after today's debate, Obama adviser David Axelrod said that Obama had told Clinton today that "leadership came from the top" in regards to negative attacks and campaigning.
Axelrod said that the two senators spoke for about 10 minutes today, during which Clinton apologized for the comments made by her New Hampshire co-chair Billy Shaheen, who told the Washington Post that Obama's past cocaine use would make him vulnerable to GOP attacks. "Senator Obama expressed to Senator Clinton it's important for campaigns to send a signal from the top as to what type of campaign they want to run. If you send a signal that negative campaigning is the fun part of campaigns and treat it as a sport, then you are sending a signal down the line that it's all okay. They have to decide if they want to send a different signal and certainly by asking Mr. Shaheen to leave that would be a different signal," Axelrod said.
Axelrod went on to say that leadership in campaigns "flowed from the top down," and Clinton's previous comments that the "fun starts" when candidates begin to attack each other set a tone that allowing negative attacks were okay.
The announcement of Shaheen's resignation came just fifteen to twenty minutes after Axelrod's comments in the spin room. The Obama campaign has benefited from Shaheen's comments in more ways than one -- by 1) showing the Clinton campaign as anxious to tear down their opponents and 2) as a money making tool among their own supporters. David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, sent out an email requesting supporters to donate to demonstrate their disapproval at Shaheen.
Shaheen's comments on Obama's past cocaine use, however, also gave reporters an opening to question Obama's campaign about the extent of his past drug use and how they would respond to Republican attacks on the issue. Regarding Obama's past drug use, Axelrod told reporters today that he only used drugs up until age 20, and that Obama had not sold or shared drugs with friends.
He went on to add that the campaign would effectively respond to Republican attacks by being upfront about Obama's past. "Honesty is how you respond to the attacks. He's been very straight forward about this. This isn't some expose of some vault somewhere. This is something he wrote about in a book 12 years ago."
*** UPDATE *** "It is clear that the politics of false attacks and innuendo are being rejected by the voters from New Hampshire and around the country.
Barack Obama is focusing his campaign on the positive change he is going to bring to America as President," said Obama spokesman Bill Burton.

With the world once again excited about the prospect that North Korea is on the way to building electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bombs, it's worth noting that in the last 15 years or so, America's much more sophisticated development effort has yielded relatively little.
In fact, The Register would go so far as to say that far from being an "existential threat" to America, the Norks haven't yet got as far as being an existential threat to this year's round of Christmas gadgets rolling out of South Korean factories, its sabre-rattling aside.
The principles behind an EMP bomb are very easily understood: if you can release a very large amount of electrical energy over a very short period of time – think milliseconds or, better, microseconds – you'll produce an electrical pulse that fries any unprotected electronics within a given radius.
And it's not too hard to demonstrate the principle at a small scale: there exist any number of maker projects that claim to turn bits out of an old microwave oven into a (nearly) portable high-energy radio frequency (HERF) gun. Since among other things you need to be competent at working with high voltages, Vulture South does not recommend readers try it at home.
EMP effects from nuclear explosions are well known. But for an EMP to be an "existential threat" to anyone, without the risk of sparking an immediate military response, a practical EMP needs to be non-nuclear.
An EMP based on conventional explosive also needs to deliver a large enough pulse that it can wreak electronic havoc in an area far larger than the lethal radius of its explosive. There's no point in frying all the electronics within (say) a 250 metre radius if you've also blown up the same area.
That's not trivial: one design principle (increase the pulse by increasing the energy released, that is, make the bomb bigger) is contradicted by the other (make the blast smaller, relative to the EMP radius).
And that's probably why images like the one below, popular in articles describing EMP bombs, come without a scale-bar. Sure, publishers like the IEEE don't want to expose military secrets, but it's likely that at the current state of the art, the "pulse radius" isn't that big.
How Gizmag illustrated EMP devices in 2009.
Image: Gizmag
The pulse bomb has been "imminent" pretty much throughout my career as a journalist. America has said the most about it, but even then, pulse bombs have done much more environmental damage via wasted energy and newspapers than they've achieved in warfare.
In a non-nuclear EMP weapon, the idea is to use explosives to impart a huge magnetic flux to an inductor in a very short time. The problem is that the process is relatively inefficient.
An EMP bomb has two footprints from an electronics point of view: close by, it will fry electronics directly; further away, pulses picked up by electrical wiring and network cables will destroy connected equipment.
The pulse needs lots of portable energy – in the order of Terawatts – so you have to be good at extracting electrical energy from the explosion, and aiming the pulse at the target.
Even in America, a lot of research over decades hasn't produced anywhere near as much development as the hawks would like or want. That image from Gizmag was lifted from IEEE Spectrum dated 2003, and it had my memory working overtime, because it seemed to echo an image that appeared in a print magazine I worked for some years earlier.
The IEEE's 2003 illustration of a pulse bomb
A closer look at the IEEE image reveals that it's based on the below image, among other things provided by military commentator Carlo Kopp to print magazine Open Systems Review in the late 1990s.
In other words, in illustrating an EMP bomb, the illustrious IEEE didn't see any need to update a ten-year-old design concept, beyond giving it more up-to-date graphics. That's how fast the technology is advancing.
Not only is Norks working from a standing start (even if, as reported, it is reverse-engineering Russian kit). It's also been "getting close to" a pulse bomb for at least a couple of years. Here's how ABC (America not Australia) reported it in 2011:
"South Korea's minister of defense at that time had reported to the Congress, warning that the North poses "a fresh security threat" capable of disrupting guided bombs and missiles by sending signals over a distance of up to 60 miles.
Some modern weapons are equipped with an alternative guided system in addition to GPS, which means the bomb would find its way to the target even if it loses contact with the satellite."
The Register believes that a "60 mile" radius wouldn't just represent a catch-up: it would mean Norks has leap-frogged the rest of the world.
Or in 2009:
"The South Korean military will have an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) bomb in five years that is capable of crippling an enemy's command-and-control, communications and defense radar systems."
That's a more limited claim: an expectation that if the pulse bomb were delivered to the right place, it could take out systems in that place.
It's no wonder that journalists are keen on finding North Korean EMP weapons, though: they've been primed to look for them by the National Institute of Public Policy, which published this paper in 2007.
What's interesting about that paper, at least to this author, is that it focuses mostly on the use of low-yield nukes as EMP weapons. The EMP Commission in the US still considers nukes the most practical form of EMP bomb. ®

Few facts about me. I really, really like chocobos, and for no good reason that I can think of. Don't try deep-frying them around me, I might turn green and grow. I enjoy CCGs, such as Magic: The Gathering. Yes, I've played YGO and Pokemon, to my shame. M:TG is by far the best, though. Cardmaster Conflict (CMC) is also a CCG, and I play it daily. I'm a reading fanatic- I've read basically all my life, in fiction/fantasy/science fiction.
I'm gonna read through some RPs, see how you guys do it... and hopefully, I'll be able to join one in the near future. RPing is one of my favorite ways to pass the time. I'm also currently writing a story on my main/favorite character's background. Like something you might find from a book. Of course, I'd have to get off my lazy tush to work on it.
So...yeah. G'day to all of ya, and feel free to inquire!

New Horizons for Policy Practice
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
This book provides fresh perspectives on the state of policy practice. Leading scholars explore such vital conceptual topics such as how to impact social justice, what the strengths-based perspective means to policy practitioners and how to bridge the all-too common gap between community organizing and direct practice in social work. Other esteemed academics address topics including how to use technology to impact social justice, what the impacts of the recent changes in the United States' Supreme Court will be, how to conceptualize the impact of ex-prisoners' re-entry into society and how to better include marginalized populations in the policy practice. The volume closes with two pieces relating to students: using service learning to increase knowledge of macro interventions and integrating social capital analysis into policy practice. Each topic is thoroughly covered by experts, using the latest scholarly material available. The reader will come away with a new perspective on the many areas where social work is involved, needed and effective in making positive change in the world.
This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Policy Practice.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court rebuffed the state of Alabama on Monday by deciding not to intervene in a case where federal judges blocked a state law that criminalizes the harboring of illegal immigrants.
By refusing to hear Alabama's appeal of the Obama administration's lower court victories, the justices steered clear of a hot-button debate at a time when Congress is engaged in writing legislation to overhaul immigration laws.
Both a federal judge and an appeals court agreed with the White House that federal law trumped a provision in Alabama state law that made it illegal to harbor or transport anyone in the state who had entered the country illegally.
The appeals court ruling remains intact as a result of the Supreme Court's refusal to intervene. A brief order issued by the Supreme Court on Monday said Justice Antonin Scalia disagreed with the decision not to hear the case.
The case before the court concerned only the harboring provision. Other parts of the Alabama law are being challenged also by the Obama administration and private groups.
Enacted in 2011, the Alabama law is considered one of the toughest state immigration statutes in the country. The law also made it illegal to encourage people to either enter or stay in the state in violation of federal immigration laws.
In two separate decisions, the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld injunctions against the harboring provision and other parts of the law in August 2012.
Although the high court declined to hear the case, the same issue could resurface in the high court because nine other states have similar laws that have been challenged. Often the court will wait until several different lower courts have ruled on a legal issue before providing the final word.
"Hopefully, Justice Scalia's vote indicates that once those additional courts have weighed in, the Supreme Court will be willing to grant review," said Joy Patterson, a spokeswoman for Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.
The Alabama case will now return to the district court, where the judge will, among other things, consider the impact of a Supreme Court ruling last year in which the justices partially upheld Arizona's similar immigration law, Patterson added.
A separate challenge to the Alabama law brought by private groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, will also proceed in the district court.
Cecillia Wang, an ACLU attorney, said the aim will be to prove that parts of the law that were not already blocked "are in fact causing constitutional violations."
The case is Alabama v. United States, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 12-884.

What is Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 ("Title IX"), 20 U.S.C. §1681et seq., is a Federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities. All public and private elementary and secondary schools, school districts, colleges, and universities (hereinafter "schools") receiving any Federal funds must comply with Title IX. Under Title IX, discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment or sexual violence, such as rape, sexual assault, sexual battery, and sexual coercion.
The Board of Trustees of ASU Three Rivers seeks to provide a positive, wholesome working and learning environment for all College employees and students. (See COPP 2.30) One type of behavior that can seriously affect the working and learning environment is sexual harassment. Harassment of employees or students based upon sex is inconsistent with this objective and contrary to the College's policy of equal employment and academic opportunity without regard to age, sex, sexual orientation, alienage or citizenship, religion, race, color, national or ethnic origin, disability, and veteran or marital status. Sexual harassment is illegal under Federal, State, and City laws. The Board assumes an affirmative posture in preventing and eliminating sexual harassment in any and all forms. Above all else, sexual harassment shall not be tolerated.
What Does the Title IX Coordinator Do?
- Oversees all complaints of sex discrimination and identifying and addressing any patterns or systemic problems that arise during the review of such complaints
- Dissemination of educational materials
- Coordinating training for students and employees about their rights under Title IX

Dear Annie: I have played in a local poker league for 10 years and have built solid friendships with these people. Three years ago, a new crew joined our crowd. At first, they were friendly, but in the past two years, one of them began having home poker parties. I was completely caught off guard when I started noticing Facebook posts with all of our friends and my husband and I were not on the invite list.
I tried to be a good sport and would post comments to let them know I was glad they had a good time, but deep down, I was hurt that people I'd known for a decade didn't seem to mind that we were not there. A few of them commented privately, saying they were not aware it was happening, but nothing changed.
Last year, I was diagnosed with cancer and have undergone radiation. My "don't care" quotient is at an all-time high, so when I noticed once again that we were not invited to a gathering, I commented that it was a slap in the face and amazingly rude to expect me to be courteous and friendly during our poker games when it's obvious that she has no regard for my feelings at all.
I later attempted to extend an olive branch to all of the members of our league (including Miss Rude) by inviting them to my husband's birthday party, but not one of them showed up. Do I need a shrink, or should I just put all of our cards on the table and find out what I've done to make her deliberately alienate me? — Royal Flush
Dear Royal: This sounds like high school with the mean girls and the bullies. There could be any number of reasons why Miss Rude has isolated you: she doesn't like you, she wants to be in control, she believes you are competition. The real question is why your other friends go along with it. If you have a pal in your group, ask for an honest assessment. But mostly, we think you need new friends.
Dear Annie: My husband and I are childless, over 55 and in the process of downsizing to a smaller home. Our birthdays are coming up. We don't want or need clothes, knickknacks or home furnishings. We donate such items to charity.
While we appreciate their generosity, we have told our friends and relatives that a gift certificate (in any amount) to a restaurant is most welcome. It is a nice treat and an incentive to get out. But few of them choose this option. Last Christmas, we were inundated with clothes and tchotchkes for the home we are leaving.
Would you please address this so our requests aren't ignored? — Ft. Myers, Florida
Dear Florida: All gifts are just that, and no one is obligated to get you anything, let alone what you are requesting. The proper response is to say thank you and then give the items away. But we understand your frustration. If the same people keep doing this, it's OK to ask them to stop, as you no longer need these items and will give them to charity. You can sincerely suggest that they make a direct donation to the charity instead. If they then ask what you'd actually like, you can tell them.
Dear Annie: I read the letter from "Unwilling Son," who refused to take a family photo for his parents' 40th anniversary because his mother asked him to wear a white sweatshirt and he doesn't look good in white.
Several years back, we had such a picture taken. I treasure the picture because the family is scattered all over the world. Tell the ungrateful snob to put on the sweatshirt and make his parents happy. It may be the last time they are together. — Grandparent in White

As you read this, Kilian Jornet is attempting #6 on his Summits of My Life project, the mighty Aconcagua, 6,959 m, the highest mountain in the Americas. The goal is to set a new speed ascent record and follows his previous successes on Mt Blanc, the Matterhorn and Denali.
"Everything is ready for the next dream!" he recently blogged.
Aconcagua, Argentina ©Daniel Peppes Gauer - Flickr
The goal is to break two records: Brunod, Pelissier and Meraldi's 3h 40 m record from the Plaza de Mulas (basecamp) in 2000 and Egocheaga's 14h 54m record from Horcones set in 2007.
Kilian is typically modest when we speak to him: "The main goal is to make a fast time on Aconcagua," he says.
With him will be the film-maker Seb Montaz and guide Vivian Bruchez and one other person close to Kilian, his girlfriend Emelie Forsberg. This means he will not be the only champion ultra runner on the mountain.

It will be nice to support Kilian," says Emelie "and if I am having a good day I will also try for the female record. It's not a goal for me but if I'm feeling good, I will try. It's a beautiful mountain."
Aconcagua is not as technically difficult as the Matterhorn and nor as wild and exposed as Denali but sitting just under 7,000 m it still poses a formidable challenge. Next up on Kilian's mountain schedule is the winter ski-mountaineering season and then Everest beckons in the spring. "It's too ambitious to say it will be a record attempt," adds Kilian. "It will be an attempt!"
We all wish Kilian (and Emelie) the best of luck!

Standing Strong Against Hunger
NEA Delegates Spend RA Raising Funds, Resources for Needy
July 03, 2011
By Kevin Hart
"It's a shame how many children in this country go hungry," said paraprofessional Doreen Raferty, shaking her head.
Raferty has seen childhood hunger first hand. She's seen it during her years working in New York City schools. She's seen it in the long lines snaking from her local food bank.
And as a member of the National Education Association, she is doing something about it.
Raferty is one of the volunteers soliciting donations of cash and food for the Greater Chicago Food Depository at this year's Representative Assembly. The booth is located across from the escalators outside the RA hall.
The Greater Chicago Food Depository distributes food through a network of 650 pantries, soup kitchens and shelters to 678,000 adults and children in Cook County every year – last year alone, more than 66 million pounds of food were distributed.
At each year's RA, NEA's Community Service Caucus helps to solicit donations for a local food bank. Junka Ezaki, a teacher from Tustin, CA, has helped coordinate the effort for the past several years.
This year, Ezaki and her fellow volunteers are soliciting food, cash and checks for the Greater Chicago Food Depository, as well as hotel toiletries for local homeless shelters; school supplies for the Ronald McDonald House; and books for Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital.
For educators like Raferty, helping those who are less fortunate is more than just the right thing to do – it's deeply personal. Educators' students are often those served by local aid organizations. And keeping kids' bellies full, Raferty points out, is one of the easiest ways to improve student achievement.
"When kids come to school hungry, you can tell," she said. "They can't concentrate. They can't perform. No one should have to go hungry."

40 YEARS: While rail fans know their vintage engines and historic lines, many are also big Amtrak aficionados. Of course. A train is a train, regardless whether its puffing out steam as it did a century ago or carrying thousands of people to their destinations every day. Amtrak turned 40 this year, and in honor of the anniversary the company has put together a special exhibit train. It'll be making stops at a few cities, including Sacramento, Oakland, Bakersfield, San Diego, and LA in the upcoming days.
HISTORY ON THE RAILS: The anniversary train will be packed with artifacts and Amtrakiana. Think photos, uniforms, and our personal favorite, china. Remember when businesses such as hotels and motels and trains used their own distinctive dishes and cups? Well, we don't really recall that time exactly, but we've romanticized it something silly, and long for a day when logo-laden cups and saucers make a grand return. The first weekend of the California stops is Saturday, Nov. 5 and Sunday, Nov. 6 in Sacramento and the final weekend is Saturday, Dec. 10 and Sunday, Dec. 11 in Los Angeles.

Sometimes life gives you little reminders of how much of it has slipped into the past. For instance:
One day it dawns on you that you really can't cop to being in your forties when your son is almost thirty–although I am from the South…and complex math is not my strong suit.
When a bartender who looks like he never had to live through the indignities of the 70's nor even the rebound of the 80's tells you that the drink you just ordered is the drink of middle-aged women everywhere. (Between you and me, he didn't deserve to live….but he wasn't worth the jail time.) You give him a jaundiced eye and ask him why it seemed like a good idea to tell you that. And he shrugs and says, "You want to avoid stereotypes , you know. Okay, maybe he was worth the jail time….
You realize that somehow the word f**cking became an adjective and you missed it.
Standing in the checkout line at the grocery store you realize you don't recognize anyone on the covers of the various tabloids.
When your kids are listening to some of the classic music from their past and you weigh in waxing poetic about the Stones and Led Zepplein, Chicago and Sir Elton and the kids look at you like you shouldn't be allowed out in public without a keeper and a leash. So, you pull up info on these bands on the Internet and get a good look a Mick Jagger…..and realize he must've been injecting embalming fluid all these years. You close your computer and tell your kids to ignore you, which they do most of the time anyway.
When you need to heed the call of nature in the middle of the night and you lie there contemplating whether it will hurt more to lie there ignoring the current situation or to get up and hobble to the bathroom.
When you finally realize your mother was right when she told you that rarely does anything good happen after midnight. In fact, in thinking about it, you can't remember the last time you stayed up to midnight (yes, those of us in the Pacific Time Zone are thrilled in New Year's Eve when we can watch the ball drop in Times Square, clink out glasses and call it a new year and a good night.)
But there are some good things to being older than I ever thought I'd be:
I have tons of grist for the writing mill.
I enjoy the pleasure of my own company over the thrill of the chase, and a good book over an average dinner date. And the company of my kids and good friends over everything.
I know it is an incontrovertible truth that most people are not what they seem.
I can say whatever I want and people act like that's to be expected. My son will roll his eyes and say, "You know Mom." I'm down with that….as the kids say.
I can content myself with having "good bone structure" and ignore the fact that my ass seems to be taking growth hormones.
I am who I am and other peoples' opinions are their own business. And when someone feels compelled to tell me they didn't really like the book I've written, I shrug it off and tell them they're entitled to think that way…..then I promptly write them out of my will.
Hey, being a grown up is still a work in progress–two steps forward, one step back. I'm not perfect. And I did have sort of a heart-stopping moment this morning. Enthused with my new commitment to fitness, I decided to drive out to this place I know where I can walk a nice loop and get lots of change in elevation to challenge my heart. On my second loop, my brain suddenly came online….and I couldn't remember having put on my pants. I reached down and sighed with relief. I had put them on, I just didn't remember doing it.
I am one step away from a truly embarrassing moment. I'd better pay more attention….if only I could muster the energy to control my brain. But then I'd have to remember I need to….
The other day I was with a group of outstanding women of all ages. One of my dearest friends told the group that we could talk about anything other than our health, because, if we started talking about that then we'd know we are old.
And we are, for the most part. But with age comes, if not wisdom, at least perspective….God can be cruel but she wouldn't be so much so as to not give us something valuable in exchange for all the aches and pains and wrinkles and….gravity issues.
So, if you could go back in time, what is the one well-earned pearl of wisdom you know now but wish you'd known then?

Last night as I sat feeling sorry for myself - lost alone and very sad, I started trawling through other peoples blogs. Usually when I have done this I get lots of blogs about peoples hobbies, and chit chat. but last night blog after blog came up about peoples stories about how they survive in the midst of sickness, having children with disabilities, people living with disabilities themselves...and all of them - in spite of, or even because of - had such positivity that I felt more then a little shame faced.
It sat with me all night. in my dreams, and in my first awakening. Bad things happen to good people. Its how you deal with it that is the fundamental difference between sitting and wallowing in self pity and recrimination, or embracing the difficulties life throws at us and smiling through it. I'm sure that all of those people I read about have bad days as well... but they CHOOSE to keep on fighting the good fight. They CHOOSE to see the beauty in the situations they have found themselves in.
I started doing the Moodgym - an online help program for people suffering from depression, and one thing stood out to me hugely. What you think is What you feel. If I think that its all too hard, then I will feel like its all too hard. If I think that today is a new day full of possibilities then I will feel like its a day new full of possibilities. I am responsibile for how I feel, I am responsible for my own happiness.
And I am also responsible for whether I let other peoples problems and unhappiness fall on me, or slide off me.

|This is the article on the Fūma clan from the manga. For the anime-only Fūma clan from the Land of Sound, head to Fūma clan.
|Fūma Clan
|(風魔一族, Fūma Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga
|Clan Data
The Fūma Clan (風魔一族, Fūma Ichizoku) is a renowned ninja clan, famous in at least Amegakure and the Land of Fire, though it is unknown where they originate from. They are well-known as an aggressive clan and fight using their characteristic giant Fūma Shuriken; a large, four-bladed weapon said to possess preeminent sharpness.
The type of shuriken they use has spread beyond the Fūma clan though, as Sasuke Uchiha used one during his fight with Zabuza Momochi and several other shinobi have been seen using them since.
While travelling the world during his younger years, Jiraiya faced a member of this clan in battle. Although the outcome of this battle is unknown, Jiraiya did manage to give this Fūma member a scar on his forehead. Years later, Jiraiya faced this same ninja again. This time, the Fūma member had been made into one of Pain's bodies. The scar on his head allowed Jiraiya to recognise him and subsequently all of Pain's other bodies as well.
The name Fūma (風魔) literally means "Wind Demon" and comes from a real-life ninja clan founded by the legendary Fūma Kotarō. This Fūma Kotarō is said to have defeated and killed the equally legendary samurai Hattori Hanzō (who gave his name to Hanzō, who was in turn defeated and killed by Pain).
- Another Fūma clan is featured in the anime. It is unknown whether the Fūma clan from the anime and the manga are the same, but it is unlikely, since the names are written differently and the clans' descriptions differ.

Diary of an author, waiting. part 4
On Friday last, the 27 January, it was Mozart's 250th birthday. The cd stores have lately filled up with box sets comprising everything by Wofgang Amadeus in every recording company's back catalogue. MY next door neighbor went off to a 'Mozart party', where, i imagine, all the participants take turns at banging out 'Rondo alla Turk' on the old upright. The town of his birth, Salzburg, is awash with tourists and there are Mozartian entertainments around the clock. All over the
world, in fact, they are playing the great man's works.
What has this got to do with me, you ask?
It has made me a little concerned that my Mozart anecdote in Fate of the Artist, the first page of which you can read here
http://www.firstsecondbooks.net/FOA/FOAgift007.html and which I drew two years ago, long before I had found a publisher for my book, may now look like a piece of shameless opportunism.
oh well, move over and make some room on that bandwagon.

House panel pursues reports of waste and criminal acts in abandoned bid to make Constitution Center the agency's headquarters.
Officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking to lease a new and larger headquarters last July committed the agency to too much space at too high a price while illegally backdating documents and possibly violating the Anti-Deficiency Act, according to an SEC inspector general's report that was the subject of a passionate House hearing June 16.
SEC IG David Kotz, testifying Thursday on his report dated May 16, said the circumstances surrounding SEC's entering into a lease for 900,000 square feet of space at the Constitution Center in Southwest Washington, formerly the headquarters of the Transportation Department, "were part of a long history of missteps and misguided leasing decisions made by the SEC since it was granted independent leasing authority by Congress in 1990."
After reviewing 1.5 million emails from 27 current and former SEC employees and interviewing 29, Kotz's auditors concluded that agency's Office of Administrative Services "conducted a deeply flawed and unsound analysis to justify the need for the SEC to lease" the property. "We found that OAS grossly overestimated (by more than 300 percent) the amount of space needed for the SEC's projected expansion and used these groundless and unsupportable figures to justify the SEC's commitment to an expenditure of approximately $557million over 10 years," the report said.
It stated that the rapidly consummated leasing decision went against the views of SEC Chairwoman Mary Schapiro, who wanted the commission's projected new hires to be housed at regional offices. "Further, OAS backdated the justification and approval, thereby creating the false impression that it had been prepared only a few days after the SEC entered into the lease," the report said. The arrangement violated procedures for coordinating major leasing moves with the Office of Management and Budget, the report added, and may have violated the Anti-Deficiency Act by committing the agency to spend funds Congress hadn't approved. At the hearing, Kotz added that he thought the true motive for the lease was to obtain "a beautiful space with fancy views."
Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure panel that has been focusing on waste in federal building management, told the hearing he found it "hard to comprehend how easily the SEC can just commit to spending $500 million of the American people's money in just a few days." He said, "The SEC has committed the taxpayer to an excessively expensive lease for space based on little more than a back-of-the-envelope guess as to the agency's actual needs . . . It is as though the SEC did not get the memo that Congress and this administration have both been talking about cutting the waste in our federal buildings," he said. He promised "accountability and consequences."
Ranking committee member Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C., called the report "shocking," saying it "paints an outrageous picture of agency incompetence and possible criminal violations by federal employees." She said the square footage SEC had requested was inflated and nearly double the standard set by the General Services Administration, enough for 12,000 employees rather than SEC's 3,000. "And this comes right at the time when the agency is expected to zero in on what it should be doing to implement the Dodd-Frank financial reform law," she complained.
SEC officials responded that the lease was part of the agency's effort to accommodate new staff required by its obligations under Dodd-Frank. But, said Jeffery Heslop, SEC's chief operating officer, it became clear in the fall of 2010 that Congress' fiscal 2011 continuing resolution would not include funds to hire additional staff, and so the commission withdrew from the lease and found substitute federal tenants that don't depend on congressional appropriations for their leases, namely the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
"I can assure you that the SEC is committed to taking all necessary and appropriate actions to ensure that the SEC makes efficient and economical use of its office space, produces accurate and reliable data to support leasing decisions, and holds agency staff -- from senior executives on down -- accountable," Heslop said. "We have taken -- and are continuing to take -- steps to minimize the future impact of this leasing decision."
Those steps include requiring leasing staff to report directly to Heslop and revamping the agency's larger leasing policies.
In response to a Government Executive request for an update, an SEC spokesman reiterated Heslop's statement to the committee that SEC had paid no rent under the terminated leasing deal.
Under committee questioning, SEC General Counsel Mark Cahn reported that his office had sent a request to the Government Accountability Office for a ruling on possible violations of the Anti-Deficiency Act.
Also testifying was Elaine Clancy, GSA' s director of leasing for the National Capital Region, who emphasized that "these large leases require review and clearance by both GSA's Central Office and OMB prior to submission to Congress." She said GSA is responding to an SEC request for help in filling the remaining vacant space at the Constitution Center.
Norton said the situation requires "an immediate response," which is why she is drafting a bill revoke SEC's leasing authority.
Denham promised to examine whether SEC should keep such authority and vowed to pursue two commission employees, Diego Ruiz and Sharon Sheehan, who ignored his requests for their testimony. "At some point," he said, "the waste has to end."

The Turquoise Coast Travel Guide
Noted for its fine beaches and stunning mountainous scenery, Turkey's southwesternmost shore has long been dubbed "the Turquoise Coast", thanks to the hues of its horizons and the sea. It's dominated by the Baba, Akdağ and Bey mountains, which drop precipitously to the main coastal highway that often skims just above the water. In ancient times, known as Lycia, the region was home to an independent people whose most obvious legacy is the distinctive rock tombs that litter the landscape. Despite much recent development, many attractive coves and islets remain inaccessible to vehicles, so yachting and gulet trips are popular. As the impact of ever-increasing visitor numbers has, moreover, been minimized by restrictions on construction height, and special protection for archeological sites and wildlife habitats, much of the region has remained relatively unspoiled.
The usually excellent Highway 400 between Marmaris and Antalya offers intermittent views, and connects several major sites along the way. The coast is best approached via Dalaman airport, busy with direct international flights most of the year, as well as domestic flights from İstanbul.
At the far west of the region, Dalyan is an attractive small resort that's also noted for its languid river, sandy beach – a sea-turtle nesting ground – and the ruins of Kaunos. East of here, Fethiye, despite its paucity of beaches, is the Turquoise Coast's oldest resort and largest town; along with Ölüdeniz lagoon, it's handy for spectacularly sited Lycian ruins such as Oenoanda, Kadyanda and Tlos, in dramatic mountainous locations. Further southeast, Patara abuts one of Turkey's best beaches, making it easy to combine sea and sun with cultural forays to the Letoön sanctuary, Pınara, Sidyma and Xanthos. Other convenient bases include the nearby resorts of Kalkan and Kaş, smaller than Fethiye and pitched at rather different clienteles.
The spectacular mountainous hinterland is also well worth exploring, especially with your own wheels, with dramatic ancient Arykanda the most obvious target. Also worth considering is the stunning drive from Kaş or Kalkan to Gömbe, in the shadow of a 3000m-plus peak.
Beyond the yacht-harbour-dominated town of Finike, east of Demre, the scenery becomes increasingly impressive as you enter conifer forests on the slopes of Tahtalı Dağ, officially designated a national park, before passing ancient Olympos – plus more good beaches at Adrasan and Çıralı – and ancient Phaselis. Thereafter a string of characterless purpose-built resorts dominated by German and Russian holiday-makers lines the approach to Antalya.
Brief history
Mountainous, rugged Lycia (Likya in Turkish) lies south of a line drawn roughly between Antalya and Köyceğiz Gölü. At the core of the territory, the Bey Dağları and Akdağ, each exceeding 3000m elevation, isolate it from the rest of Anatolia. Relatively secure in their mountain fastness, the fiercely independent ancient Lycians – probably an indigenous, pre-Hittite people – organized their main cities and conurbations of smaller towns as the democratic Lycian Federation, with 23 voting units. This elected municipal and federal officials and, until imperial Rome assumed control, made decisions of state. Homer's Iliad mentions the Lycians as allies of the Trojans; later, in the sixth century BC, the region was subdued by the Persian general Harpagos, but then largely left to govern itself.
From 454 BC, after the Athenian general Kimon had expelled the Persians from the Mediterranean coast, the Lycians became members of the Athens-dominated Delian League. The League ceased to exist after the Peloponnesian War and Lycia again fell under Persian domination. Alexander the Great arrived in 333 BC and, after conquering Halikarnassos, easily secured the region's surrender; following his death, Lycia was ruled by his general, Ptolemy, also king of Egypt. During the third century BC, under Ptolemaic rule, Greek displaced the native Lycian language and Lycian cities adopted Greek constitutions. The Ptolemies were defeated by Antiokhos III in 197 BC, himself bested in 189 BC by the Romans, who handed the kingdom over to the Rhodians. The Lycians bitterly resented Rhodian control and succeeded in 167 BC in having this administrative relegation revoked.
Thereafter, the Lycians enjoyed over two centuries of semi-independence under a revived federation. After they resisted the Pontic king Mithridates in 88 BC, they were rewarded by Rome for their loyalty. During the Roman civil wars, Lycian reluctance to assist Brutus caused the destruction of Xanthos, and in 43 AD it was joined to Pamphylia in a larger Roman province. Roman imperial rule saw Lycia reach its maximum ancient population of 200,000, a figure not again equalled until the twentieth century, and the cities were graced by the Roman civic architecture that constitutes most of the ruins on view today.
During the fourth century the province was divided by Diocletian. A period of Byzantine-supervised decline followed, abetted by Arab raids in the seventh and eighth centuries. From then on, the area's history resembled that of the rest of western Anatolia, where, after Selçuk Turk sovereignty during the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and an interlude of minor emirates, the Ottomans installed a more durable Anatolian Muslim state. They continued a pattern of moving nomadic Turkic tribes into the Lycian uplands, leaving the coast to pirates and local chieftains, until in the eighteenth century the sultan ordered its settlement by more tractable, productive Greek Orthodox colonists from the offshore islands.

We recently debunked the myth that abuse can be described as a cycle. If we can't describe it that way, is there a more accurate way to talk about abuse?
Yes! It's called The Duluth Model, and at its core is the Power & Control Wheel.
Relationship violence is a combination of a number of different tactics of abuse that are used to maintain power and control — which are the words in the very center of the wheel. The center is surrounded by different sets of behaviors that an abusive partner uses in order to maintain this power and control.
These sets of behaviors are:
- Coercion and threats
- Intimidation
- Emotional abuse
- Isolation
- Minimizing, denying and blaming
- Using children
- Economic abuse
- Male privilege
A lot of these behaviors can feel subtle and normal — often unrecognizable until you look at the wheel in this way. Many of these can be happening at any one time, all as a way to enforce power within the relationship.
Think of the wheel as a diagram of the tactics your abusive partner uses to keep you in the relationship. While the inside of the wheel is comprised of subtle, continual behaviors, the outer ring represents physical, visible violence. These are the abusive acts that are more overt and forceful, and often the intense acts that reinforce the regular use of other subtler methods of abuse.
How and why do we use the power and control wheel?
Our advocates use the wheel to help teach callers about the dynamics of an abusive relationship. It shows a victim that they are not alone in what they are experiencing, and that these tactics of maintaining power and control are common to abusers.
We also use the wheel to help other callers like friends, family members or even someone who may identify as abusive to better understand the complicated components of abuse and the many forms it can take. This can be really helpful in explaining the difficulties and dangers of leaving an abusive relationship.
To learn more about the Power and Control Wheel, visit the Home of the Duluth Model online.
