IFO's …..What are they?
Posted by dandare on October 5, 2012
What is an IFO; well it is a term that stands for Identified Flying Objects…. we refer to them, when we are able to identify an object in the sky.
I would like to quickly guide you through some of the many IFO's in the sky, just to show that there is alot out there that is identified; this is important, as we must always keep this in mind, when looking at possible UFO's…. for instance, live checks can be made on sateillites and where they are, if you know where to look ……
The Delta Project "Common IFO Phenomena" by Robert Moore; gives a flavour of the IFO subject (Identified Flying Object).
There are many IFO's out there:
1 Sateillites
For instance, the Naval Ocean Surveillance Sateillite.
" NOSS is a group of satellites that travel as a group of three in orbit around the Earth and sighting of this trio has given rise to many UFO reports in the UK" (extract from post).Also see here for more links to sateillites, with programmes to track them, ect.
For real time sateillite tracking see Heaven's Above (recommended). Also for Hubble, Mir and others see here , here and here (real time tracking also).
Paul Maley's site (which is way out of date) shows just how much re-entered junk, falls back down to earth.
Alot of re-entry space junk, can be another possible IFO.
It has been the cause of quite a few ufo sightings; they are similar to bright fireball meteors, but have been known to be much more dramatic.
Only recently, space junk was the cause of sightings- in the UK.
sky news
BBC News
"On average, one non-functional spacecraft, launch vehicle orbital stage, or other piece of cataloged debris has fallen back to Earth every day for more than 40 years. The majority of these objects do not survive the intense reentry environment. For the minority which do survive in whole or in part, most fall harmlessly into the oceans or onto sparsely populated regions such as Siberia, the Australian Outback, or the Canadian Tundra. Occasionally, components of spacecraft and launch vehicles are found" (extract from NASA Debris Re-entry recovered ). However, this phenomena is becoming more common as the years pass.
Sources for this on the internet are Orbital Debris Quarterly news here , paul maley's site "satellite " website, with pictures of large re-entry debris here (still quite rare, especially at these sizes; thats a relief).
3 UFO Balloons
UFO balloons (or fire balloons) are a small balloon, heated by a flame below….. they are based on sky lanterns (invented by Chu Ko Liang), from China, which where traditionally made from a combination of bamboo frames and rice paper…. and used a rag dipped in paraffin, which was then lit, to get them airborne.
UFO balloons (i think commercialy started in 2005?) use a clear plastic bag (others use other material such as dry cleaner bags), and fitted below with a firelighter, held in place by wire; others have used balsa wood and drinking straws to make them, and a candle in place of the firelighter.
A ufo balloon being lit and put into the air can be seen here on you tube…..
These balloons need to be put into the mix, when researching and collaborating UFO sightings, to confirm that it is not these that have sparked off the reported sightings…. they do have some characteristics that can help in this though…. they have a whiteish-yellow glow, although in some weather conditions, these can be orangey red, and do not move quickly (unless in a strong wind-although this could create a fire risk) and always with the wind too, obviously.
They must be used in the right weather conditions, otherwise there is a real possibility that they can catch fire to the surrounding countryside, property, etc.
The ideal conditions to use them are on cool, clear non breezy evenings… they last for around 8 to 10 minutes (but sometimes slightly longer) and can rise as far as about 1000 metres; it can also move with airstream's as it rises. Although i have heard of some that can last for far longer (up to 40 minutes they claim) using a candle framework to keep it alight for longer…. i'm sure there are other variations too.
Another thing is that they do not come out well on camera or video, but can be quite visual when seen real time.
So UFO followers must take this into account when considering reports of ufo's, although there are many IFO's out there (i will when time allows put a permanent page up, with as many references to IFO's as i can).
This just gives you a flavour of what there is out in the skies……. hope this helps you when you see something in the sky…always ask- is it possibly an IFO.

Stream: Evvol - No Love
Mar 13, 2015
"arty electronica with an 80s feel...witch house reconfigured" - THE GUARDIAN
"a pretty classicist piece of songwriting" - DUMMY MAG
如果你在先前有認識過一組叫做Kool Thing的團,那麼便不會對於這組立基於柏林發展而主要成員分別來自愛爾蘭的Julie Chance(主唱)與澳大利亞的Jon Dark(吉他手)所組成的Evvol感到陌生,總之她們換了個新名字另起爐灶然後將在今年5月18號推出一張新專輯"Eternalism",光看她倆的造型其實還蠻神似2:54那對姐妺花,取自即將發行專輯內的新單曲No Love已先於昨日曝光,對於持續在追尋The xx那ㄧ路線的樂迷們Evvol會是可多多留意的目標。
Evvol - No Love (Taken From The New Album 'ETERNALISM' Out May 18th on MAD DOGS & LOVE Records)
Next stages in a band's life are meant to feel like new chapters, but Evvol have pretty much opened a new book. Previously named Kool Thing, Berlin-based, Paris-born, and made up of Irishwoman Julie Chance, Australian Jon Dark, and their French touring live drummer Valentin Plessy, has reconvened. And a new vitality is sparking.
Evvol's music is always about certain dualities; light and dark, immersion and surrender, containment and escape. 'No Love' continues to push forward that vision, tinged with moments of introspection and total release. A new found positive energy radiates from the sounds on this record, with every crack between the synths, drums, vocals and guitar revealing complexities in its minimalism.

The words over at Three Word Wednesday are figment, inclined and vulnerable. Wow, good words. Who comes up with them?
Again late this week, so I'm tossing up a Fiction in 58
He felt like a figment of her imagination. He flittered from room to room, wherever she decided to land, and hoped.
The expectations sunk, always; he felt vulnerable. Again.
He wished he could talk to her, like he used to. Tell her everything was going to be alright.
He was inclined to do so.
But he couldn't speak.

I liked this piece. It reflects sensitivity tenderness and vulnerability.

We are finally back from our much awaited vacation to Europe. Dan and I were VERY nervous that it would be less vacation-y and more stressful dealing with long plane rides and time changes with a 20 month old. Ben was such a rock star, I can't even tell you! He did amazing on our first flight to Amsterdam, and only woke up once the first night and then slept through the night EVERY OTHER NIGHT. I know! My kid is awesome! The flight home was fine, too. We had an empty seat in between us which was nice (the flight there was totally full so he was on our lap).
My travel tips with a toddler:
- take the last row of the plane, and have the child in the window seat
- snacks and more snacks
- their favorite toy(s)
- NEW toys they have never seen
- bring benadryl if you want to make you FEEL prepared, but you won't need it 🙂
- bottle or sippy and pacifier if you use one for naps (this helped him sleep). They will give you milk on the flight.
- don't let them run up & down the aisles b/c once they are out of their seats it's all over
- RELAX. I was way too stressed for days before and got myself sick the first 2 days in Amsterdam.
The trip was absolutely perfect. We had the best time visiting our friends in Amsterdam and taking a side-trip to Paris. We were in Amsterdam for Queen's Day and rented a boat on the canals all day which is really something everyone should add to their bucket list! We did Keukenhof and saw the tulips which were a sight. We rented bikes. We went to the famous market. In Paris we drank wine outside the Eiffel Tower at night. Walked to the Louvre. Took the Metro to Notre Dame. Spent lots of time in Jardin des Tuileries. It was magical!
Ben is wearing an H&M hoodie, Gap jeans & TOMS boots.
Since everyone wears orange on Queen's Day, Ben was wearing an orange bicycle Gap shirt (perfect for Amsterdam!!), H&M shorts & sneakers.
Above is the boat we rented…it was the best 3 hours! Good drinks, good food & great company. Also, the weather had been rainy and chilly, but on Queen's Day it was sunny and 70! Perfect weather. The canals were kind of empty (in a good way!) since it was 11am, but as we were leaving they were getting much more crowded. I can't imagine what it was like by evening! Mayhem.
Outfit change! Ben started out in jeans but as the day got warmer we changed him. He is wearing a Janie & Jack polo shirt, Janie & Jack shorts and H&M sneakers we bought in Amsterdam.
The area surrounding the Eiffel Tower is perfect for a picnic or relaxing. They also have a wonderful fenced-in playground where we spent most of our time. Ben could run around and be safe, and we could soak in the view of the Eiffel Tower right behind us. I didn't realize how family-friendly the area would be. They also have a carousel right below and vendors selling drinks and snacks. Everything is very stroller-friendly also!
Ben is wearing H&M pants, a Gap sweatshirt we bought in France and H&M sneakers.
I didn't really know about these locks before we went, and I wish I did. You can read the story about them here. Paris is such a romantic city!
Ben is wearing a Janie & Jack lobster polo and H&M pants and sneakers.
All in all, it was truly the trip of a lifetime! It was wonderful for Dan and I to spend 11 days together with Ben. I think it was much needed for Ben, also. He slept every night in our room and woke up so happy seeing us each morning. I never felt like we couldn't do things because of Ben. We are already planning a trip back to Paris and Europe for next year! Hopefully we can convince some family members to come with us 🙂

Everywhere you turn in the fall, someone is sharing a new way to use the savory butternut squash. You can also find great sales on the �queen of fall produce� and especially fresh at your local farmer�s market. I find a great sale on butternut squash. Whether I�m at the farmer�s market or at the grocery store, this is the time of year the butternut squash reigns supreme.
Butternut squash is very nutritious. The flesh is full of vitamins A and C, and it has a naturally sweet flavor that really emerges when roasted. The seeds are packed with protein and heart-healthy fats. It�s a delicious seasonal squash that can be cooked in a variety of ways � baked or roasted, in a puree, in soups or stews, and as a sweet addition to other hearty winter dishes. You cannot beat butternut squash as a low far replacement in many types of recipes.
Some of you find cooking and preparing butternut squash intimidating, but surely it does not have to be. Here are some easy directions:
Begin by slicing off the stem and bottom ends of the squash, so that both ends are flat. (If your hands are not very strong, or you don�t have a sharp paring knife or serrated peeler, you can microwave the squash before you begin peeling to make the process easier. Pierce the squash a few times with a fork, then microwave for two minutes. This will soften the skin connection and make the peeling go faster.)
Slice the squash in half, just where the thinner end begins to widen around the middle. Turn each half so that a flat end rests against the cutting board. Use a sharp serrated peeler or paring knife to peel off the skin in downward strokes. You will notice light green lines emerging beneath the skin as you peel. You want to make sure to peel all of those green lines away from the squash�they can be tough and fibrous. The squash isn�t completely peeled till all of those green lines have disappeared and the orange flesh remains.
Once both halves of the squash are peeled, slice the fatter half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a metal spoon. Reserve those seeds � they are absolutely delicious when roasted! Now you will have three sections of peeled squash, which you can slice or dice depending on your recipe. Some recipes do actually call for baking the squash before peeling by cutting in half lengthwise. Super easy!
Roasting Butternut Squash Seeds
Preheat the oven to about 325 degrees.
Place seeds and pulp into a bowl and cover with water, using your fingers separate the seeds from the pulp. Drain the seeds in a colander and be sure that all of the pulp has been removed.
Add about 2 cups of seeds to a quart of water and boil for about ten minutes. Drain the seeds and pat dry.
Toss the seeds with a little olive oil or butter (you may also add a variety of seasonings at this time, like cinnamon-sugar, nutmeg, chili powder, cayenne or even ranch will all work well. Salt may still be your seasoning of choice.
Spread the seeds out in a single layer onto a baking sheet. Toast the seeds in the oven for about 20 minutes, watching carefully to make sure they don�t burn. They won�t change color much, if they turn too brown they�ll be over-done. The seeds should be crispy and have a similar taste to popcorn.

MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., "MERS" as Nominee for AMERICA'S WHOLESALE LENDER, its Successors and Assigns, Plaintiff,
CAROLE FOLKES, NEW YORK CITY ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL BOARD, NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT ADJUDICATION BUREAU, BARON ASSOCIATES, LLC, and JOHN DOE (said name being fictitious, it being the intention of plaintiff to designate any and all Occupants of premises being foreclosed herein and any parties, corporations or entities, if any, having or claiming an interest or lien upon the mortgaged premises), Defendants.
No. 109824/05, Motion Seq. No. 005.
Supreme Court, New York County.
July 29, 2010.
July 21, 2010.
ALICE SCHLESINGER, Judge.
This action commenced in 2005 sounds in foreclosure. Thus, it should be a relatively straightforward matter. However, It Is anything but that. By the time it reached this Court, the action had acquired an intervenor, Baron Associates, LLC ("Baron"), who filed cross-claims against a defendant, Carole Folkes and a counterclaim against the plaintiff, Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. as Nominee for America's Wholesale Lender, its Successors and Assignors ("MERS").
Although the index number is 2005, a note of issue was not filed until December 2009. Before the Court now is a motion by defendant Folkes for summary judgment dismissing the cross-claims of defendant Baron and for an order recognizing that Folkes has superior title to the premises located at 468 West 146th Street in New York.
This motion is followed by a cross-motion by plaintiff MERS for summary judgment on its foreclosure claims regarding the subject property. Plaintiff previously requested and was denied this relief in a decision dated February 5, 2000 by Judge Kibble Payne. Plaintiff is asking for amounts due on their mortgage and note, as well as a declaration that no defendant has any lien, equitable or otherwise, on the property. Plaintiff MERS is also moving, pursuant to CPLR §3212 for summary judgment dismissing defendant Baron's counterclaim, and pursuant to CPLR §603 severing Baron's cross-claims against Folkes. Finally, pursuant to CPLR §3025, MERS seeks to amend its pleadings to substitute Zhou Ye, Lillian Herring and Marvin Herring in place of "John Doe".
Baron opposes virtually all of this relief, although it does not speak to the amendment. Folkes the defendant here, does not oppose plaintiffs cross-motion.
The saga of the sale of this property, to the extent relevant to these motions, began on August 19, 2004 when this property, a three family dwelling in Harlem, was sold by Its owner Shelby Sullivan to 468 West 146th Street Corporation, whose principal was Paul Jaikaran. The purchaser took out a mortgage on the premises for $550,000 from intervenor Baron. Also at the closing, Baron paid off an existing mortgage lien of $46,369.74 to Champion Mortgage Co.
However, three months later, on November 23, 2004, presumably this same Shelby Sullivan sold the same premises to Carole Folkes for something in the neighborhood of $700,000, with a mortgage of $650,250.00.
Ms. Folkes who has disclaimed any knowledge of the prior sale, stated she purchased the property as a favor for her sister Cheron Ramphal and Ramphal's boyfriend, the same Paul Jaikaran who is principal of 468 West 146th Street Corp. Folkes explains that she did this because her credit was better than Ramphal's and Jaikaran's, and because her sister was being nice to her, she agreed to do her this favor. Her understanding of the transaction, as testified to at a deposition, was that she would take title to the property, but otherwise would have nothing to do with it. (Although she testified she was a home owner herself and knew how mortgages work.) In other words, Ramphal and Jaikaran would actually pay the note. She believed their plan was to renovate the property and quickly resell it.
What is important here Is that these closing papers were filed on May 27, 2005. But the earlier transaction was not filed until August 31, 2005, or three months later and over a year after the earlier closing.
Both mortgages have been defaulted upon. The action here, as previously mentioned, was commenced five years ago. The mortgagee for the MERS transaction, or at least the entity noted on the recorded deed, is Country-Wide Home Loans, Inc., although elsewhere in these papers "America's Wholesale Lender" is named as the "Mortgagee/Lender". The mortgage document itself also states that MERS "is a separate corporation acting solely as a nominee for lender" and its successors. The lender again named as "America's Wholesale Lender." The nominee MERS Is given the right, among others, to foreclose on the mortgage. However, it should be noted that all the demands for payment included in the cross-motion are from Countrywide to Folkes.
Other items of interest regarding the MERS transaction include the following: the settlement statement identifying Carol Folkes as the borrower gave her address as 142 116th Road in South Ozone Park, New York, an address never referred to elsewhere and never explained. At her deposition, Ms. Folkes stated that she has lived at 2000 Serpentine Terrace in Silver Springs, MD for 10½ years. Yet on the mortgage itself, her address is listed as the property being sold, 468 West 146th Street, New York. (She is also identified as an unmarried woman, though again at her deposition, she stated she had been married for 12½ years to the same man).
After a default in payments, as mentioned above, demand letters were sent by Countrywide to Ms. Folkes at the subject premises 468 West 146th Street, a place she said she had never even seen, much less lived in. She states, not surprisingly, that she never received these notices.
The settlement agent on all of the MERS documents was listed as Peter Port, Esq., undeniably plaintiffs agent. According to an affidavit, with documents attached from Ms. Nichole M. Orr, identified as an Assistant Vice President and Senior Operational Risk Specialist for Bank of America Home Loans, the successor-in-interest to plaintiff America's Wholesale Lender (April 1, 2010)[1] certain wire transfers were made on November 23, 2004 to Mr. Port. The money appears to have come from an account with JP Morgan, but one of the documents also shows, inexplicably, that Mr. Port then sent $435,067.73 of this money to Cheron A. Ramphal at 14917 Motley Road, Silver Springs, MD. It should also be noted, as it was in the decision of February 5, 2008 by Judge Payne, that Mr. Port pled guilty in March 2006 in Federal District Court in New Jersey to providing false documents in a scheme to commit mortgage fraud.
I am not prepared to grant plaintiffs cross-motion for summary judgment. Beyond that and despite the fact, as counsel points out, that Folkes does not oppose their motion, I am dismissing the action. I am doing this for essentially three reasons. Some of which has to do with deficiencies in documentation.
Even without opposition, a plaintiff in a foreclosure action must satisfy a court that it has proper standing or title to bring the action, that the mortgage and note was actually funded by the plaintiff, and that the transaction itself, the one sued upon, has the indicia of reliability and is free of fraud. Kluge v Fugazy, 145 AD2d 537 (2nd Dep't 1988); Katz v East-Ville Realty Co, 249 AD2d 243 (1st Dep't 1998).
None of those criteria have been satisfied here. Countrywide was the mortgagee and upon default made demands to Ms. Folkes, which it appears never reached her. Nowhere in the papers is there a satisfactory showing that the transfer of ownership or title was ever made to MERS. Ms. Orr never mentions any connection to Countrywide. But even if she were to submit still another affidavit, she certainly has no personal knowledge of the transfer of ownership, and no documents have been submitted. I do not find the language or the closing documents, identifying MERS as nominee for America's Wholesale Lender, to sufficiently tie in the real party in Interest.
As to the second point, which was one basis for Judge Payne's denial of summary judgment in February 2008, that there was "a complete failure to prove funding of the mortgage," there continues to be such a failure in the motion before this Court today. The uncertified documents[2] do anything but convince. For example, there is no explanation given as to why one of the wire transactions shows that Mr. Port sent $435,067.23 to Cheron A. Ramphal. There is also nothing to show that Ms. Folkes received anything at all, although some check in the amount of $125,000 is made out to Shelby, the Seller. Therefore, I simply cannot rely on these uncertified documents created five years ago, that contain more questions than answers.
Which brings me to my last point. I am unable to say with any confidence that this was an honest transaction. Ms. Folkes' credibility certainly is questionable. Therefore, the fact that she fails to oppose the motion Is meaningless. We also know that people close to her were involved in an earlier transaction with the same alleged seller, suggesting some kind of fraud. Also, Port, the agent acting on behalf of the plaintiff was later convicted of fraud involving similar transactions. Further, as mentioned above, the papers surrounding the transaction are filled with errors. Therefore, at the least, they were drawn up by Port and others without care or worse. Therefore, the action is dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff to bring again, if they can, with proper support and reliability. The counterclaim is also dismissed without prejudice.
With regard to the four cross-claims brought by Baron against Folkes, the subject of the first motion, I am in fact granting them, but only to the extent of dismissing with prejudice the second cross-claim, at paragraph 12, which speaks of unjust enrichment and the fourth cross-claim, at paragraph 32 which speaks of fraud. With regard to paragraphs, there Is simply no showing by Baron that Folkes herself was enriched, unjustly or not, in the amount of $46,369.74, the payment Baron made to Champion Mortgage. Regarding the allegation of friaud, there is nothing to show that Baron, by giving the earlier mortgage to 468 West 146th Street Corp., in any way relied upon the representations and actions of Folkes in purchasing the property months after the August 19, 2004 sale.
Accordingly, it is hereby
ORDERED, that the motion for summary judgment by defendant Baron Associates, LLC is granted to the extent of dismissing with prejudice the second cross-claim sounding in unjust enrichment and the fourth cross-claim sounding In fraud; and it is further
ORDERED that plaintiffs cross motion for summary judgment is denied; and it is further
ORDERED that this foreclosure action and the counterclaim by defendant Carol Folkes are dismissed without prejudice and without costs or disbursements to any party.
This constitutes the decision and order of this Court. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment accordingly.
[1] We also learn in papers dated April 28, 2010, that Ms. Orr is also an officer of plaintiff MERS.
[2] I am referring to these documents as "uncertified" because that is what they are. As part of plaintiffs cross motion, Ms. Nicole Orr presented an April 1, 2010 affidavit with certain exhibits which she described as copies of wire transfer, settlement agent's receipt of wire transfers, checks and additional wire transfers paid. There was no certification as to their origin or authenticity. When this was challenged by counsel for Baron, Ms. Orr submitted a later affidavit of April 28, 2010 with another exhibit, an affidavit from Linda S. Lewis who states she is a Vice President of JP Morgan Chase Bank who was served with a subpoena for certain documents. She then says that to the best of her knowledge, those "records or copies thereof produced were accurate versions of the documents described." All of this is not sufficient to serve as certified business records.

AbstractThe Evaluation of Child Care Subsidy Strategies is a multi-site, multi-year effort to determine whether and how different child care subsidy policies and procedures and quality improvement efforts help low-income parents obtain and hold onto jobs and improve outcomes for children. Funding from the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF) administered by the Child Care Bureau are divided into two purposes. The vast majority are aimed at assisting children of low-income working parents whose eligibility is determined by states within broad federal guidelines, while a much smaller portion (4 percent) work with state matching funds to improve the quality of child care for all children. For this study series, four experiments were conducted, two test alternative subsidy policies for low-income families and two test approaches to the use of set-aside funds for improving child care quality for all children. The four study sites and focus of evaluation include: (1) the effectiveness of three language and literacy curricula on teaching practices and children's language and literacy outcomes (Miami Dade County, Florida); (2) the impact of alternative eligibility and re-determination child care subsidy policies on parental employment outcomes (Illinois); (3) the impact of alternative child care co-payment structures on use of child care subsidies and employment outcomes (Washington) and (4) the effectiveness of training on Learning Games curriculum in changing care-giving practices in family child care homes and children's developmental outcomes (Massachusetts). The Illinois site of the Evaluation of Child Care Subsidy Strategies was designed to test the impact of increased income eligibility and extended redetermination period on various child care and economic outcomes (such as type of care used, stability of child care arrangements, earnings, employment, etc.). Under the state's 2005 program rules, a family was eligible for subsidies if their income was below 50 percent of the state median income (SMI) for their family size, and this eligibility was redetermined for most families every 6 months. In the evaluation, income eligibility was extended to 50 to 65 percent of state median income, and the redetermination period was extended from 6 to 12 months. To isolate the impact of each programmatic change, families who qualified for the study were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) a control group, (2) a 6-month redetermination program group, or (3) a 12-month redetermination program group. Families in the control group received no enhanced access to subsidies; families in the 6-month program group were eligible for subsidies as long as their income remained below 65 percent of SMI and had to reapply for subsidies every 6 months; and families in the 12-month redetermination program group were eligible for subsidies with income up to 65 percent of SMI and had to reapply for subsidies every 12 months. In the follow-up survey, respondents were asked a series of questions about the following topics: Child Care Arrangements: These data were used to construct child-level measures of type and stability of the primary care arrangement.; Child Care Reliability and Flexibility, Satisfaction with the Care, and Costs: These questions were used to create a summary measure of whether the respondent experienced any job-related problems due to child care arrangements. This section of the survey also contained a set of statements about the convenience of and satisfaction with child care at the time of the interview. Respondents were asked the total weekly amount they paid for all care at the time of the interview. This measure of out-of-pocket expenses was used rather than the provider-specific cost question from the section on child care arrangements because it was thought that parents would more reliably report their overall expenditures than their expenditures for each provider for each child.; Employment: Information on jobs held at the time of the survey interview was used to create measures of employment, hours worked, and job characteristics for that job. Information on all jobs held in the year after random assignment was used to create measures of employment stability.; Major Life Events: Respondents were asked about the occurrence of nine major types of events or other problems since the time of random assignment.; Income: Respondents were asked about total household income and sources of income in the month prior to the survey.;
AbstractThis random assignment study in Cook County, Illinois seeks to answer two policy questions: (1) whether providing subsidies to families whose incomes are just over the state's eligibility limit affects their child care and employment outcomes, and (2) whether extending the length of time before families must reapply for subsidies affects the receipt of subsidies and related outcomes, particularly the stability of child care arrangements and employment.
MethodsThis study included 1,884 families who applied for child care subsidies in Cook County, Illinois, between March 2005 and May 2006, and whose incomes exceeded the state's eligibility limits. Families were randomly assigned to a program group, which was approved to receive subsidies even though family income was above the usual eligibility limit, or to a control group which remained ineligible for subsidies as long as family income was above the state guidelines. In addition, a random half of the program group was asked to confirm its eligibility for subsidies every six months (the state standard) while the other half was asked to reconfirm eligibility annually. Of these families, 470 were assigned to the 6-month redetermination program group, 470 were assigned to the 12-month redetermination program group, and 944 were assigned to the control group. Because families were assigned at random to the program and the control groups, any systematic differences that emerged after random assignment can reliably be attributed to the policy change being studied. To examine the effects of the program, data were collected from both administrative records systems and surveys of the study participants. Data from administrative records systems include information from an application form completed shortly before random assignment, monthly data from the child care subsidy system, unemployment insurance records on employment and earning, and records from the food stamp and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) programs. One follow-up survey collected a range of information not available through administrative records, including a detailed history of each child care provider the family used, and information on the respondents' levels of satisfaction with the child care situation and on the reliability of the care, job problems related to child care, and out-of-pocket costs of child care.
MethodsThere are five public use files for Illinois: a sample member characteristics file containing data from the baseline child care subsidy application,; an administrative records file containing data from unemployment insurance and public benefit programs (child care subsidies, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and food stamps),; a parent-level data file with information from a follow-up survey,; a child-level data file with information from the follow-up survey, and; a child-arrangement-level data file with information from the follow-up survey.; All five public use files contain the variable PUFID, which records a unique public use file identification number for each sample member. This variable can be used to merge the sample member characteristics, administrative records, and parent-level follow-up survey public use files. Two additional variables are necessary to merge the child-level and child-arrangement-level datasets: the variable CHILD, which records the child number for a given sample member in the child-level dataset, and the variable PROVIDER, which records the provider number for a particular child in the child-arrangement-level dataset.
MethodsICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Performed consistency checks.; Created variable labels and/or value labels.; Standardized missing values.; Created online analysis version with question text.; Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes..
MethodsResponse Rates: Approximately 71 percent of the report sample (1,331 families) completed a follow-up survey interview one to three years after entry into the study.

Cairo — Egypt's Islamist president Mohamed Morsi's latest constitutional declaration removing legal oversight and restraint on his powers has been met with a storm of controversy and protests. He has decided to respond by pushing for a hasty vote to adopt an equally contentious new constitution.
Even before the current turmoil began, representatives of non-Islamist parties and the Christian minority had withdrawn from the Constitutional Assembly tasked with writing Egypt's permanent constitution for the post–January 25 Revolution period. They cited the non-representative nature of this body, specifically its marginalization of non-Islamists, the absolute dominance of Islamists, and the Islamists' unwillingness to negotiate on the proposed articles.
Islamists had rushed to complete the draft constitution, rejecting any and all compromise with non-Islamists, whose objections and fears they impatiently dismissed. In less than two days, the Constitutional Assembly, which at this point had few non-Islamist members remaining within its ranks, hurried voting on the proposed draft and submitted it to the president who then called for a national referendum on it for December 15. The process leaves little room for serious public discussion of the proposed articles or for the non-Islamist opposition to build meaningful grassroots opposition.
While the draft is problematic on numerous counts, those articles that pertain to religious freedom and the protection and rights of minorities merit separate concern. The Islamist influence is readily apparent when these articles are compared to the corresponding provisions of the 1971 constitution which governed Egypt under Mubarak:
‐Article 1 drops reference to citizenship as the basis of Egypt's political order. The word "citizenship" in the Egyptian context has been understood to mean equal rights for both Muslims and non-Muslims. It also adds a further allegiance to which Egypt identifies, that of the Islamic nation.
‐A new Article 3 adds that non-Muslims are now governed in their personal-status affairs and on issues pertaining to choosing their religious leaders by the principles of their religious laws.#more#
‐A new Article 4 provides for an official role for al Azhar (the Sunni university): It states that al Azhar is to give its opinion on all matters pertaining to sharia. Since the unchanged language of Article 2 makes "the principles of sharia" the main source of legislation, this new article places a non-elected, sectarian religious body above the Egyptian parliament as arbitrator and explainer of state laws.
‐Article 5 removes the word "only" from the prior constitutional language regarding "the sovereignty of the people." This change was in response to a key demand of the Salafis, who argue that sovereignty only belongs to God and not to the people.
‐Article 6 adds the word "shura" to the language about the basis of the political system; a shura is a traditionally unelected, Islamist consultative process that Islamists claim is equivalent to democracy. It also removes the existing prohibition on the establishment of religiously based political parties, asserting, instead, a prohibition on political parties based on discrimination. This new language, thus, allows for the establishment of purely religious parties as long as their stated goals do not actively call for discrimination.
‐Article 10 adds that "society," as well as the state, is now responsible for protecting the already problematically vague phrase, "values of the Egyptian family," and provides them with the new role of "entrenching its moral values and protecting them."
‐A new Article 12 commits the state to the Arabization of education and knowledge.
‐Concerning the prohibition on all forms of discrimination in Article 33, it drops the words "on the basis of sex, origin, religion and creed."
‐Article 42 drops language prohibiting forced evacuations within the country. This change follows forced evacuations of Coptic Christians in four instances since the revolution.
‐Article 43 limits the freedom to practice religion and build houses of worship to "heavenly religions" (Islam, Christianity, and Judaism). This means that Egyptian Baha'is and other groups who do not belong to the three religions recognized as "heavenly" by the state will not have the right to worship.
‐An anti-blasphemy clause was added as Article 44.
‐Article 54 drops "statutory bodies" from those allowed to petition in the name of a collective. The Church is the target of this change.
‐Article 132 drops the protection of national unity from the duties of the president (in the Egyptian context this meant unity between Christians and Muslims within the nation).
‐A new provision appears in article 212, dealing with endowments. Under this article, a new body will be created and given far-reaching powers for regulating and overseeing both public and private endowments. This article affects Christian religious endowments too: It places Church finances under the Islamists' control, which as I explained a year agohas been part of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party political program. By taking control of the Church's finances, the Islamists aim to control the institution, and in turn use it to control Christians, thus creating a national church along the Communist model.
‐A new article 219 purports to define "the principles of sharia," which, according to Article 2, are the main source of legislation. It states that "the principles of sharia" include: "its total evidence, its fundamental and jurisprudence basis, its accepted sources in the doctrines of Sunnis."
While Egypt under Mubarak was no heaven for religious minorities, the proposed constitution is a clear setback for religious freedom. Under its articles the legal framework governing religious minorities and their rights to equality and protection would be undermined beyond salvage.

Kazu ~ I attended the ALA conference today with little knowledge of graphic novels, besides Star Wars and Minx comics, or webcomics. Since I arrived home, I've been looking @ different sites re: graphic novels and I was blown away by your artwork. I should have reviewed this site and read some novels before I went! You are amazingly talented & I'm so happy that there are artists/writers like you who are writing books for kids.

This invaluable, world-renowned collection, located in Suite 410 of the dental school, consists of more than 1,500 human crania collected by orthodontist Spencer R. Atkinson primarily from autopsies and biological warehouses. Learn more about the history of the collection from Contact Point, Vol. 80, No. 3.
The Atkinson Collection offers an extraordinarily well-preserved, age-graded series of more than 400 crania that span from in utero to adult, representing the most complete assemblage of juveniles in the United States. A number of rare cranial syndromes (hydrocephalaly, microcephaly, cranial dysostoses, cleft palate and others) are found among the juvenile and adult individuals.
CDHCS is collaborating with other educational institutions to sponsor the FOROST Web site (forensicosteology.org). Through FOROST, free online access to a metabase containing images and descriptions of skeletal lesions is available to the forensic community and related professions. Examples of trauma, found within the Atkinson Collection, have been contributed to the FOROST metabase. Additional information on the availability of Atkinson Collection images is provided here in CDHCS Collection Policies.
Professionals and advanced students are encouraged to submit research applications to study the Atkinson Collection, and Pacific faculty are welcome to request use of a subset of the Atkinson Collection for teaching purposes.
Generous funding from the Pacific Coast Orthodontic Consultation Group has provided support for the preservation of the Atkinson Collection and improved its accessibility as a resource for research and teaching.

After more than a year of wishing with all its heart, the contemporary update of Pinocchio seems to have finally become a real project at last: Fox has hired Shawn Levy to direct a "Pinocchio prequel," The Three Misfortunes Of Geppetto, thereby achieving the magical, fairy-dust-sprinkling number of three competing projects in development that's required for any such reimagining to be taken seriously. Geppetto joins the previously reported Guillermo del Toro-produced, 3-D stop-motion-animated Pinocchio and the Bryan Fuller-scripted live-action version at Warner Bros.—a version that has now apparently come full circle from its Alice In Wonderland (and Alice In Wonderland's box-office) inspirations by attracting the interest of Tim Burton, what with its built-in storyline, character design, and lack of need to think too hard about anything.
According to Deadline, Geppetto also bears similarities to another Burton film, Big Fish, telling a sweeping story of the woodcarver's life as he survives war and other epic adventure in order to be with his true love—a romantic tale that's only slightly sullied by the reminder that Geppetto eventually ends up poor, alone, and pretending that a marionette is his son. Anyway, Fox's version seems to be angling to be the first Pinocchio project out of all Pinocchio projects, which means there will probably be at least two more announced any minute now.

We can't believe we've reached another Pre-Labor Day Pregnant Bikini Contest, that annual ode to the mother-to-be form, presented by the Rod Ryan Show.
And this year was special because it was the contest's ninth. Nine years … nine months in the average human gestation period.
Forty of the Houston area's most beautiful (really, aren't all pregnant women beautiful?) expectant women in their third trimester competed in a series of challenges, such as a timed baby change and diaper toss to prove they'll be fit parents. Then the contestants moved on to the bikini round, where judges assessed their bikini presentation, grace and "mommy 'it' factor."
The contest was at Lucky's Pub, 801 St. Emanuel.
As an added bonus, take a look back at past contests in the slideshow below the video.

Mark Kiptoo had barely caught his breath after his impressive Marathon debut in Frankfurt last Sunday before he was turning his thoughts to what possibly will be his big challenge, a shot at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships title in Copenhagen next March.
The Kenyan surprised many people, except himself, with his run at the BMW Frankfurt Marathon, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, with the 37-year-old barely meriting a mention in most pre-race predictions, perhaps due to his age or the fact that it was his first time over the classic distance.
However, Kiptoo coped better with the swirling winds and lashing rain than all but one of his more experienced, but younger, marathon rivals to take the runner-up spot in 2:06:16, just one second behind the winner, his compatriot Vincent Kipruto.
It was a bravura performance from Kiptoo, who made the move which broke the pack after 25km, and then forged ahead with Kipruto five kilometres later, before finally losing out in a thrilling sprint finish on the famous red carpet inside Frankfurt's deafening indoor arena, the Festhalle.
Kiptoo, who only started competitive running at the age of 27 after being cajoled into competing in a Kenyan air force inter-wing event, will seek advice on where to race next on his return to Kenya, where his small training group is guided by Sammy Rono.
Copenhagen calling
However, after lowering his Half Marathon best to 1:00:42 when winning the famous Medio Maratón Azkoitia-Azpeitia in Spain this March, there's little doubt he would relish the opportunity to compete for his country in Copenhagen on 29 March.
"Given a chance I would like to try," he said. "I ran two half marathons this year. I won in Spain and also I ran in Iowa [in Des Moines where he clocked 62:27], so I know that given the chance I can try to win.
"If I get selected I would be very keen to run. I would be ready for it and I would focus on it," he added.
"I am happy for the chance I was given to run my first Marathon in this event, and if I got a chance in the Half Marathon I would like to take it. If the selectors give me the opportunity, I think I would be able to run a PB in that race too."
If selected, it would be Kiptoo's first outing at a global championship for his country since he finished seventh at the 2009 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.
Since then he has served his country with distinction on the track, winning the African 5000m title and also a 10,000m silver in 2012, after claiming bronze medals over 5000m at the 2010 African Championships and Commonwealth Games.
His disappointment at coming so close to a memorable debut victory on Sunday was quickly tempered by his quick time and the thought that he had kick-started his Marathon career in decisive fashion.
"I am thankful that, despite not winning, I ran 2:06," said Kiptoo, who trains near Kapsabet with Micah Kogo, fourth in the recent Chicago Marathon, and Mike Kigen, who was eighth in Dubai in January.
Time target
"I felt I could run maybe 2:06, and I am happy that I managed to achieve it," he said. "It was a surprise in a way, but at the same time I have been training well with Micah and he ran 2:06 in Chicago, so I thought I was in shape to do the same time."
Whether he gets the Copenhagen call-up or not, Kiptoo hopes his Frankfurt form was impressive enough to attract invitations to some of the world's biggest city marathons later in the year.
He'd love a chance to return to Frankfurt next October where the unique indoor finish made his battle with Kipruto all the more dramatic.
"If I get a chance I would love to run here again," he said on Sunday, the screams of the Frankfurt fans almost drowning out his words.
"Today, in the last kilometre, I was feeling my legs beginning to tire, and I just said let me lift my pace and see if I can get there. With the crowd, I almost did it. We were so close together but in the end Vincent was just a bit too strong.
"Although I lost, the finish was wonderful. I haven't been anywhere else where the finish line is inside a hall. It made for a great race," reflected Kiptoo, briefly looking back rather than into the future.

Wow. Thanks.
THAT is cool.
And very unnerving. But not too much so.

There are forests to the south east of the mountain range separating the main Sundered Empire region with the lands the gnolls migrated to.GreyhawkGrognard on Canonfire! wrote:I'm just baffled by the explanation of Naresh in Dragon 289. The description just doesn't seem to fit the geography. First we're told the gnolls "crossed...beyond the mountains" where they found "a lawless region well away from civilization" and claimed "a section of the forest", and they were said to lure the minotaurs "deep into the forest" to defeat them.
The problem is that there is no forest on the far side of those mountains! The gnolls started on the western side of the mountains, where the Abyssal Gateways were. Crossing the mountains would put them on the east side on the north end, where even the map in the main rulebook shows nary a forest anywhere near the place. There is, however, a section of forest contained within the boundaries of Naresh on the western side. That can't be it, though, because later on it says they "emerged from the mountains" to attack the elves (westward). So what gives?
Does anyone think that the gnolls previously had more land to the south?
Does anyone think that the cartographer left a forest off of the map?
Did Chris Pramas make a sketch map that shows more forest than the official map?
Has anyone spoken to Chris Pramas about this?

All About Baby
Some women swear they feel the fertilized egg hunker into the lining of the uterus and get cozy. (The official term: implantation. The feeling: A twinge similar to ovulating). The rest of us won't have any notion we're pregnant for at least another week. While we're oblivious, Baby's getting busy. During week 4 the blastocyst burrows into the womb and separates into cells that will become the placenta and cells that will become the baby. The Great Divide isn't all that happens this week. The layers of the embryo itself actually start to differentiate into specialized parts. The outer layer will become baby's hair, skin, eyes, and nervous system; the middle layer will soon be the heart, reproductive organs, bones, muscles, and kidneys; and the inner layer the baby's liver, lungs, and digestive system.
All About You
Are you? Are you not? Are you? Are you not? You can pull petals off a daisy if you like, but only a pregnancy test will give you a definitive answer. If you're dying, you can take a home pregnancy test (or three or four) even before you've missed your period but don't pay too much attention if it's not positive. Your body needs to make enough pregnancy hormone (human chorionic gonadotrophin, or HcG) for that second pink line to appear. If the test is negative you may want to try again at the end of this week. One way or another, you're probably feeling hormonal, obsessing about whether you're pregnant, and surreptitiously squeezing your breasts like Charmin to see if they're getting bigger. And distracted. It may be hard to think about anything else, especially if you've been trying to conceive for a while.
This Week: Here Comes Morning Sickness!
Remember that queasy feeling during that first rollercoaster ride when you were 10? Hang on. Nausea, inaccurately known as morning sickness (because you can get it morning, noon, or night) is one of the earliest — and most notorious — signs of pregnancy. If you throw up in your purse at the mall, remind yourself it will make a good story to tell your grandkids someday. That's right — we said grandkids!
(Almost) Everyone Gets Morning Sickness
If you're feeling queasy, you're not alone. Up to 3.6 million women get morning sickness every year. "Fifty to 90 percent of women have some degree of [morning sickness]," explains expert Miriam A. Erick, author of Managing Morning Sickness: A Survival Guide for Pregnant Women. But if you're not sick, don't worry. Not feeling nauseous is usually not an indication that anything's amiss.
Are We There Yet?
Usually morning sickness ends with the first trimester, but experts agree that nausea can linger into the second trimester (or even longer).
How Not to Hurl
- Avoid strong smells. The oh-so-odorous smell of onions, fried meats, and heavily seasoned foods may throw you into dry heaves. Even sweet smells like laundry soap and cologne can trigger nausea in pregnant women with sensitive sniffers.
- Eat little bits, often. Low blood sugar can exacerbate nausea. Even if you're anything but in the mood for food, try nibbling on healthy snacks throughout the day. Whole grain crackers, pickles, or a protein boost like cheese or nuts often help battle the nausea.
- Taking it slow, sucking ginger candy, and trying acupuncture can also help.
When to Worry
If you're vomiting around the clock, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum. Be sure to let your doctor know if your morning sickness is keeping you from eating or drinking or impeding your everyday life.
You may also already have sore breasts, a tender tummy, and some other aches and pains (bathroom break anyone?) as your body adjusts to the New You (plural). But there's good news in all this suffering. If this is your first pregnancy, everyone in on the secret — especially your partner — is treating you kindly. Enjoy the attention. Let them feel sorry for you. When you get to Baby #2 you'll suffer just as much, but without the sympathy.
Got questions about Week 4? Other women have asked this …
Q: Are home pregnancy tests ever wrong?
This may be an exciting (and scary) thought: you could be pregnant! Before you go out and buy a home pregnancy test (HPT), let's quickly talk about how they work. HPTs check for the presence of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). This hormone is produced after fertilization occurs and is responsible for many of the early symptoms of pregnancy. Read more about home pregnancy tests.
Q: When is it too soon for a home pregnancy test?
The urine pregnancy tests available at drug stores use a chemical reaction to turn a color when they detect enough of the pregnancy hormone human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Every test has its own threshold of how much hCG is needed to show positive, so it's possible to be pregnant and still have the test come up negative until a certain hCG level is reached.Read more about home pregnancy tests.
Q: What are the early symptoms of pregnancy?
Women who are trying to get pregnant may be super sensitive to physical changes or early signs of pregnancy. For those who experience a surprise or unexpected pregnancy, the symptoms at first may be unnoticeable or chalked up to fatigue or PMS. When fertilization occurs and the embryo implants into the wall of the uterus. Read more about early symptoms of pregnancy.
Q: What does implantation pain feel like?
"As the fertilized embryo burrows itself into the wall of the uterus, many women experience some mild implantation pain or cramping. While your body is adjusting to your new pregnancy hormone levels and your uterus is turning into your baby's new home, it is natural for a little cramping or discomfort to occur." Read more about implantation.
Your Partner
Is She Pregnant?
One mother-to-be first suspected she was pregnant when sipping a drink with her friends on vacation almost caused her to throw up. Another began to wonder if she were pregnant after her mother told her about a dream in which she, the daughter, was pregnant. It turned out to be true.
Sometimes it is a strange clue that makes her begin to suspect, but often it is your partner's missed period that is the first giveaway that your life is about to change. This time is filled with uncertainty. Should you begin to think about your new baby? Is it only a false alarm? The most reliable way for your partner to verify any suspicions of pregnancy is by making an appointment to have a blood test at her OB's office.
Of course, after the test, there is her first prenatal appointment to get confirmation. But in the interim, the uncertainty remains, leaving most potential parents swirling with questions that can't be answered just yet.
Patience is the key here — patience and trying to stay as much you can in the here and now. It is easy to get caught up thinking about your possible future, but remain in the moment, taking it one day at a time, and do everything you can to support your partner (make sure she's eating well, getting exercise, taking her prenatal vitamin, and getting plenty of rest). More likely than not, this is more emotionally overwhelming for her than for you right now. If she is pregnant, her body is being inundated with unprecedented levels of hormones that can truly affect her physical and emotional state in profound ways. She needs you very much right now, and the best thing you can do is be there for her.

Published on : Sunday, January 19, 2014
Twenty one "Don ca tai tu" troupes from cities and provinces in the southern regions will participate in the first national festival of "Don ca tai tu", slated for April 20-25 in the southern province of Bac Lieu.
The festival's organising board said at a press briefing in Hanoi on January 9 that Cheo (traditional opera popular in northern provinces) staged by artists from the northern province of Ninh Binh is expected to entertain a southern audience.
According to the board, the opening ceremony will take place at the Hung Vuong square in Bac Lieu city on the night of April 21.
There will be a composition competition on the art with the theme 'Bac Lieu and the southern region' and performances will be staged by amateur singers and instrumentalists from across the country.
The festival will also feature an exhibition on folk musical instruments, a show of ancient motors and a photo contest themed "The land and people of Bac Lieu".
The national "Don Ca Tai Tu" festival is scheduled to be held triennially in southern provinces in turn.
Known as a musical art that has both scholarly and folk roots, Don ca tai tu developed in southern Vietnam in the late 19th century. The impromptu art honours the creativity and artistry of the performers.
UNESCO recognised the art as an intangible cultural heritage in December during the 8th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The art is performed at numerous events, such as festivals, 'death anniversary' rituals, and celebratory social events. The audience can join in, by practicing, making comments or creating new words for songs.
It has been transmitted from generation to generation through official and unofficial forms of education in all 21 provinces.
The art form is played on a variety of different instruments, including the kim (moon-shaped lute), co (two-stringed fiddle), tranh (16-string zither), ty ba (pear-shaped lute), song lang (percussion), bau (monochord) and sao (bamboo flute), and the violin and guitar, which were adapted to fir the style.
The musicians who contribute to Don ca tai tu include master instrumentalists, master lyricists, master singers, instrumentalists, and singers.
Influenced by other forms of cultural heritage from the central and southern regions of Vietnam, such as nhac le (ceremonial music) and hat boi (classical theatre and folk song), the music genre was added to the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2012.
