World's Richest Man: 'Charity Doesn't Solve Anything'
Carlos Slim has always had a complicated relationship with philanthropy.
The Mexican billionaire, who Forbes still lists as the world's richest man, said in 2007 that he could do more to help fight poverty by building businesses than by "being a Santa Claus."
Mr. Slim's signature also has been noticeably absent from the Gates-Buffett Giving Pledge. At a conference in Syndey last month, Mr. Slim said that charity accomplishes little.
"The only way to fight poverty is with employment," he said. "Trillions of dollars have been given to charity in the last 50 years, and they don't solve anything."
As for the Giving Pledge, he said: "To give 50%, 40%, that does nothing," Slim said. "There is a saying that we should leave a better country to our children. But it's more important to leave better children to our country."
In a speech in Mexico City Thursday, he reiterated his point that the best way to fight poverty is to create jobs.
Now Mr. Slim isn't un-charitable. He has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars to his foundation and has funded millions of dollars in joint-venture projects with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
So he clearly isn't against charity entirely. His point seems to be that society would benefit more if the wealthy channeled their creative energies and talents toward building job-creating businesses rather than doling out cash. It is the 21st century billionaire version of the old adage, "give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for a lifetime."
In these populist times, some might argue that Mr. Slim is being a selfish billionaire who is simply justifying his own wealth accumulation. But he poses two good questions–ones I have heard from an increasing number of wealthy entrepreneurs:
Would Bill Gates and Warren Buffett be doing more for society by putting their time and money into new businesses rather than funding philanthropy?
Has philanthropy solved any major social problems in the past 50 years?

Holdsclaw is going to need to rely on a different kind of defense than the athletic kind she's used to.
The WNBA legend has been charged with aggravated assault for allegedly firing a gun at her ex-girlfriend's car last year, according to TMZ.
If the former basketball star is convicted, she could spend 65 years in prison.
Chamique, who's 35, was arrested in Atlanta last year for allegedly attacking ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lacy's car with a baseball bat and then firing a gun in the car while Jennifer was in the driver's seat.
Sources say Chamique was upset with Jennifer following their break up.
Chamique is a six-time WNBA all-star who last played in the league in 2010.

"Quack! Quack! "
iAm Your Biggest Fan is the 13th episode of the first season of iCarly.
After receiving a gushing fan letter, the iCarly gang invites Mandy Valdez, their self-proclaimed biggest fan, to attend a webcast with their first live audience (consisting of Mandy only).
Mandy quickly reveals that she's more than simply a fan of the group -- she's obsessed, to the point where she sneaks into Carly's apartment in the middle of the night so she can join Carly and Sam watching TV, sends them pointless gifts and even transfers so she can attend the same junior high as the group. It reaches the point to where Mandy starts to disrupt their broadcasts, in particular while doing her duck impersonation (complete with duck mask).
The joke is on Backflesh, however, when Mandy sneaks into Carly's apartment and hears a Backflesh CD playing and starts dancing (with no talent). Immediately, she falls in love with the band and they become her new obsession, as Carly, Sam, Freddie, and Spencer discover to their amusement when they see Mandy disrupt the band's Seattle Beat performance with her duck impression. They watch amused with their drinks and laughing happily at Mandy's idiotic ways. We leave them happily clinking their drinks.
Meanwhile Spencer tries out to be the new drummer for Backflesh, despite having no drumming ability using drums he found in the junkyard. The band decides to keep him on because he let's them use his apartment for rehearsals and Spencer calls in a favor to get Backflesh booked on the Seattle Beat TV show. Before the show, however, they fire Spencer and steal his drum kit and to cap it all up, they didn't even know how to pronounce Spencer's name right. Actually didn't even know it at all!.
- During Twister Vision, Carly and Sam's voices pan from left to right and back again in the stereo field.
- Sam says she hates people, which was also mentioned in iChristmas.
- Debut of the apparently real within the series Fladoodles.
- Mandy returns in iWant My Website Back, and is just as annoying as ever.
- Running Gag: Suzay is mispronounced as Suzie by some people.
- Mandy makes her first appearance in this episode.
- Backflesh appeared briefly in "Chasing Zoey", the series finale of Zoey 101 (one of iCarly's sister shows).
- Mandy exclaims that the four of them will be three musketeers and Freddie says "but there's four of us," as if this somehow is a beat down. There are actually four musketeers in Dumas' book: Porthos, Athos, Aramas, and D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan is a musketeer wannabee, much like Mandy is an iCarly wannabe so the allegory is actually quite fitting.
- Mandy mentions an episode where Carly and Sam dress a dog as a pig and another where they bled spaghetti with meatballs in a blender . She is referring to iWill Date Freddie and iWant More Viewers respectively.
- The person who yells "Hey, somebody call the cops!" when Mandy was with the band on Seattle Beat was voiced by Dan Schnieder.
- In the last scene Freddie hands Carly and Sam drinks and all have curly straws in them. In the very next cut, Sam's straw disappears.
- When Carly and Sam are watching "Girly Cow" and Mandy surprises them, Carly says "How did you get in?" and Sam says "The door was locked", Mandy said "Not all your windows were" - but as the apartment is on the 8th floor it would not be possible for her to get in through a window.
- Carly said to Spencer, "Take an umbrella" but in the background it's not even raining, never mind it being cloudy out, however Seattle is known for its weather; and rains frequently.
[after Spencer's new "invention" bursts into flames]
Carly: Electrical wiring just isn't your thing.
Spencer: No, it is not.
Carly: [picks up show idea card] Carly and Sam roll Freddie in bread crumbs then bake him at 350?
[Freddie looks at Sam in shock]
Sam: Just 'til he's golden brown!
[Spencer is finished setting up a drum set and begins drumming, which causes it to fall apart shortly afterwards]
Spencer: ...I rocked too hard.
Sam: Hey, can I sleep over tonight?
Carly: You don't wanna go home?
Sam: Nah... When my mom buys a new bikini, she usually likes to wear it around the house for a few days to "break it in." If you're my friend, you won't make me look at that.
Spencer: OK, all fixed. Which means I'm now officially a drummer.
[Spencer starts playing the drums and one of the cymbals mysteriously bursts into flames]
Spencer: How can that even happen?!
[Carly gets the fire extinguisher and extinguishes the cymbal]
Mandy: Quack! Quack!

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian state television said government soldiers found chemical agents in rebel tunnels in the Damascus suburb of Jobar on Saturday and some of the troops were suffocating.
"Army heroes are entering the tunnels of the terrorists and saw chemical agents," state television quoted a "news source" as saying. "In some cases, soldiers are suffocating while entering Jobar," it said.
"Ambulances came to rescue the people who were suffocating in Jobar," it said, adding that an army unit was preparing to storm the suburb where rebels fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad are based.
Syrian activists accuse Assad's forces of launching a nerve gas attack in Jobar and other suburbs before dawn on Wednesday, killing between 500 and more than 1,000 people.
Assad's government has dismissed the accusation and its major ally Russia has suggested rebel fighters may have launched the attack themselves to provoke international action.
U.N. High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Angela Kane arrived in Damascus on Saturday to push for access to the suspected chemical weapons attack site for U.N. inspectors, who are already in Syria to investigate months-old accusations.
So far Assad's government has not said whether it will allow access to the site despite being under increasing pressure from the United Nations, Western and Gulf Arab countries and Russia. If confirmed, it would be the world's deadliest chemical attack in decades.

- Authors:
Publication Date:
March 2006
American companies see the long-term benefits of diversifying their workforce to keep pace with increases in the Hispanic population. It is not enough to hire Latino talent; if co-workers and managers treat them with disrespect or insensitivity, they're not going to stay
This report highlights steps that larger companies are taking to invest in their future workforce. Smaller companies can learn from the experiences and initiatives of larger companies, including:
- integrating diversity education into all leadership programs;
- creating a diverse pipeline of talent;
- creating opportunities to hear from employees; and
- networking and supporting employee networks.

While Rien would normally have a quick remark, she felt exhaustion crash over her like a tidal wave, and she felt herself sinking wearily into the mattress Cody had set her down on. She changed the subject, too tired to argue with the seemingly tireless mortal.
"What did Melika mean--earlier--when she asked you if you were willing to accept the cost, and you said I was worth it. You obviously weren't talking about my skills as a dog slave."
"Go to sleep, Rien."
"I've been humiliated and degraded more than I ever thought was possible. I try to kill Melika and I get made a slave of domestic beasts. You said I could at least get a bath if I did as you said, and that didn't happen. You could at least answer one question." The elfess mumbled, on the verge of somnolence. "Melkor knows I answered plenty from your never-ending stream of questions as a boy."

I have been treading on logs for so long now. Poet is still not ours and we are heading into trial and all that pressure has made me distracted from everything and everyone, except Poet. I am tired of treading and desperately wanting to touch firm soil with her in my arms. It will come soon but all this is causing me to fail so many other aspects of my life. It is lonely place at times, when all you want to do is share what brings you the most happiness but how you do it when your favorite medium is photographs and stories and those are restricted for now.
This has also caused me to not communicate with my true friends, a side of effect of being abandoned by "friends" i was truly kind to, the minute i started standing on my two feet ( although for the record i was always on my own two feet, worked hard my whole life to get here) and the minute Poet came into my life- the friends who "wished i would have a baby" never even once mentioned her in fact they seem to 'like" on instagram everything but when i share what i can of her. Well being abandoned and not knowing why has also caused me to be too cautious with other friends who i know are truer than the ones i speak about and for that i am truly sorry. There is good wonderful people in my life and i need to trust that they will not abandon me.
I have wanted to write this for so long and lacked the guts and even now as i write and tears fall i am not sure if i will be able to publish but i hope i can cause i need to let this go.
I need to let go and believe that everything will be okay, That Poet came into my life because of the good me.
With kindness and a promise to start sharing what i can here and even though this is not a phone call or a face to face chat or email it is a place you can find me open and honest, always.

From Conservapedia
The groom, or bridegroom, is the male partner in a marriage ceremony; his female counterpart is his bride.
A groom is also a servant who looks after horses.
The verb to groom means to make a person or animal tidy or neat; it can also mean to train or prepare someone for a role or position ("X is being groomed to become the next Chief Executive").

Tomorrow night, near-Earth asteroid 2005 YU55 will pass between our planet and the orbit of the moon, coming within 0.85 lunar distances of the Earth's surface as it courses along its orbit. Astronomers say the object, which measures about 400 meters in diameter, is the largest asteroid to fly this close to home in 35 years.
2005 YU55 is a type-c (i.e. carbonaceous) asteroid, meaning its surface is dark. This will make the asteroid impossible to see with the naked eye, but scientists say skywatchers with the right equipment should be able to catch a glimpse of the massive rock as it zips by Earth. Here's how you can spot it for yourself.
First of all, you're going to need the right equipment. Amateur skywatchers will need a telescope with at least a 6-inch mirror to spot the asteroid.
Next, you'll need to know when to look. NASA's estimates indicate that the asteroid's closest approach to Earth will occur tomorrow night at 23:28 UT, or 06.28 p.m. EST.
The object will likely be best seen from Western Europe and North America; according to Scott Fisher, program director of the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, stargazers on the East Coast of the US will have the best shot of spying the object at its closest point of approach.
Finally, you'll need to know where to point your telescope. According to Sky & Telescope Magazine, 2005 YU55 will traverse the 70° of sky eastward from the constellation Aquila to central Pegasus in just 10 hours. This means it'll be moving at a pretty decent clip, which will likely make it harder to spot, but here's a detailed chart, along with instructions from Sky & Telescope on how to find the asteroid (click the image below to enlarge the chart):
Asteroid 2005 YU55 will race far across the constellations in just 11 hours. The box on the top chart [the dark blue constellation map with the yellow path line] shows the area of the closeup above. There, the asteroid is plotted for just over an hour on the evening of November 8th for North America (from 1:51 to 3:12 November 9th Universal Time). North is up, east is left. On each of the little upside-down maps of the U.S., put a pencil dot on your location. These are the asteroid's apparent positions at 2:00 and 3:00 UT for your site. Connect your dots with a straight line paralleling the line plotted, which is for Kansas.
Those with the astronomical know-how can look up the asteroid's coordinates for any given time on the JPL Solar System Dynamics website, and stargazing buffs with more high powered equipment (10—12 inch scopes, CCD cameras, profesional filters, etc.) are encouraged to help astronomers obtain more detailed brightness measurements of the asteroid (details can be found here).
That's all the general information you'll need to start your asteroid hunt. Don't forget to avoid light pollution whenever possible — you'll already be fighting the full moon to catch a glimpse of the asteroid.

When Jacob Candelaria, 17, delivers a stunning, opening wail on his clarinet, you know Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue is off to a solid start.
And so it was at a rehearsal earlier week for the upcoming Four Corners Youth Symphony concert Monday night. The Ignacio teenager studies with Fort Lewis College clarinet professor Joshua Mietz, and hes part of the orchestra, preparing for its annual spring concert. The youth symphony has come a long way since its founding in 2005.
Peppered with FLC music majors and a few faculty members, the orchestra fundamentally exists for regional music students to participate in an advanced-level ensemble. Ive watched it grow from its first rehearsal in 2005. Now the organization has changed its name to include more ensembles, incorporate FLC music students, and beef up sections with the odd faculty member. Its almost a miracle to see and hear what Director Nathan Lambert has achieved.
On Monday, the Youth Symphony will perform works by Copland, DeBeriot and Gershwin. Winner of the organizations concerto competition, violinist Nolan Reed, will perform the Allegro maestoso from Charles DeBeriots Concerto No.9 with the orchestra. The second place winner, violinist Mallory Shanks, will perform the opening movement of Haydns Concerto in G Major, accompanied by pianist Mika Inyoue. In addition, the full ensemble will perform Coplands beloved Variations on a Shaker Melody.
The big centerpiece will be Gershwins Rhapsody in Blue with FLC piano major Adam Swanson, 21, as soloist. Playing from memory, Swanson brings not only his natural talent to Gershwins jazzy score, he brings his mastery of ragtime piano. Only last weekend, Swanson organized and performed in the first Durango Ragtime and Early Jazz Festival at the Strater Theatre. He also performed the duo piano version of Gershwins concerto with his FLC piano professor Lisa Campi Walters. If you missed that, heres your chance to hear the orchestral version complete with clarinet glissando and the saucy muted trumpet parts that echo the human voice. They will be played by FLC music major TaSheena Calvillo, whose splendid senior recital took place in late February.
If you love Gershwin, dont miss this concert.
On Thursday, also in the Concert Hall, the FLC Percussion Ensembles will put on its rambunctious spring concert featuring works by a number of contemporary composers and one oldie, but very goodie.
The most unusual work is a piece for voices and mallet instruments. Director Jonathan Latta welcomes two voice faculty members, Charissa Chiaravalloti and Veronica Turner, and music major, Sara Tompkins, to layer long vocal lines, tones and colors to create Steve Reichs interpretation of African music. Latta will play the marimba and be joined by other marimbists, two glockenspielers and a vibraphone.
Other works include Bomba, by Lou Harrison, for a percussion quintet, Away Without Leave, by Bob Becker for a drum quintet, and Fractalia, by Owen Condon for a quartet of players on various percussion instruments.
Not to be forgotten is a nod to J.S. Bach with a marimba and vibraphone arrangement of the Prelude and Fugue No. 10, and that other classic, Dotty Dimples, played by xylophone soloist Kyle Hollerbach. If you love the xylophone, be there.

Ciao, Italia! owner Carmine Astuto was sleeping just after 1 a.m. Monday, May 11, when he got a call from a Longboat Key Police Department dispatcher. Blue Dolphin Café owner Rob Ball and Longboat Resort Wear owner Mahesh Mirchandani also got calls. So did Exit Art owner Debbie Stanick and Don Frank Salon co-owners Greg Koss and David Roy.
The reason for the calls: Their businesses in the Centre Shops of Longboat Key had been burglarized.
According to Longboat Key Police Capt. Steve Mislyan, patrol officer Dean Greathouse pulled into the Centre Shops, located at 5370 Gulf of Mexico Drive, just before 1 a.m. Monday for a routine patrol of the plaza. As Greathouse pulled into the shopping center, he saw two men take off running toward the back of the complex, and he called the other Longboat officer on duty for backup. Upon exiting the vehicle, he noticed a broken window at Ciao, Italia! and made a radio call to dispatch. He approached the plaza and saw that more windows were broken.
Greathouse put out a call for assistance, to which Bradenton Police Department officers and a Manatee County Sheriff's Office K-9 unit responded.
The K-9 unit tracked the scent of the suspects into Sandhamn Place condominium, which is next to the Centre Shops, and to the water's edge at Sarasota Bay, where the scent stopped.
Officers later canvassed the area and recovered some stolen items on the Centre Shops property.
Owners of each of the five businesses arrived at the scene shortly after getting the early-morning phone calls from police.
At Longboat Resort Wear, Mirchandani said he sustained the biggest financial loss. The burglars stole between $1,600 and $1,700 from his cash register — all of the cash from that weekend's sales.
"With the recession, this is another recession," Mirchandani said.
Astuto said the burglars stole approximately $600 from his cash register.
"It sounds like it was a quick snatch-and-grab," he said.
At Exit Art, Stanick said that the burglars made out with approximately $180, along with more than three dozen watches and pieces of jewelry. According to Stanick, police recovered an Exit Art bag with 38 watches and jewelry items. Although police currently have the bag and its contents to examine for evidence, Stanick said that the items would account for most or all of the stolen merchandise.
Ball arrived at Blue Dolphin Café to find open drawers and cabinets. The restaurant doesn't keep money in the cash register overnight, Ball said, so the restaurant didn't lose a significant amount of money, although the burglars did steal between $40 and $60 in rolled change that was stored in a cigar box.
The Don Frank Salon, which also doesn't keep money in its cash register at night, didn't have any money or products stolen, although co-owner Roy said he found some open drawers.
The cost of repairing the broken windows ranged from $200 to $500 for each business — and, according to Koss, "a night of sleep."
The investigation is ongoing. The Longboat Key Police Department is pursuing leads and sharing information with other law-enforcement agencies, Mislyan said. Police are also examining similarities between the Centre Shops incident and business burglaries that have recently occurred in nearby areas, such as Anna Maria Island.
Business owners expressed shock that the burglary occurred in what they always considered a safe location.
"In 20 years, it's never happened," Mirchandani said.
"Knowing that they would have time to break into five stores kind of freaks you out," Stanick said. "I was just surprised by how much they could do in that amount of time."
Some business owners said that they would take new security precautions. Mirchandani, whose store is the only one of the five burglarized that has an alarm, said that he has taken money from the cash register home at night since the burglary. Astuto said he will consider installing an alarm at Ciao, Italia! He also said he won't leave cash at his restaurant again.
"You wouldn't think it would happen on the Key," Astuto said. "But it happens everywhere.

Welcome to the 2007 season, where L.T. is once again the unanimous No. 1 pick and his fellow running backs dominate the first round in any draft.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The same can be said in fantasy football.
Welcome to the 2007 season, where L.T. again is unanimous No. 1 pick and his fellow running backs dominate the first round in any draft.
Familiar names will be called out – Johnson, Jackson, Parker, Gore — as your draft starts to heat up. During the second round, you might start to hear some relatively new names – Peterson, Lynch, Benson – but make no mistake: they all play running back.
Oh, sure, there will be the token quarterback (Peyton Manning) and a couple of wide receivers (Marvin Harrison and Chad Johnson) taken in the first 20 picks.
But once the run on backs starts, resist the urge to look at any other position.
After all, who wants to begin the season with injury-prone runners such as Travis Henry and Kevin Jones as their starting backs?

Dell Software Head Swainson Takes Aim at $5 Billion in Sales
Here's one big step on the road to transformation at computer giant Dell: $5 billion in software sales. That's how much the company's new head of its software division says he wants to report in the coming years.
John Swainson (pictured), president of Dell's Software Group, whose hiring I covered earlier this year, made the declaration at a roundtable discussion in San Francisco, according to a Reuters report.
Big plans for software fit right in with the big transformative plans that CEO Michael Dell talks about so often these days, and on which he elaborated in detail in an interview with AllThingsD earlier this week.
One big step on that road is the $2.4 billion acquisition of Quest Software, which Dell announced earlier this month after outbidding a group of private equity investors.
Last year, Quest reported sales of $857 million; given a year, it's not unrealistic to see it adding a billion or so in incremental revenue next year, on top of the $1.2 billion in software revenue — or about 2 percent of Dell's $60 billion in overall revenue.
But remember that software is always more profitable than hardware: Assuming 30 percent margins, software could end up punching above its weight on Dell's income sheet. As Swainson put it in comments to Reuters:
As you get to a number like $5 billion, it starts to become a meaningful number on the bottom line … If you were at $5 billion software business with 30 percent margins, that would be roughly $1.5 billion in net income.
And Swainson is probably the man for the job. Last year, he was lured to run Dell's nascent software business, after having been offered a nearly identical job at Hewlett-Packard.
From 2004 to 2009, he rebuilt the tattered reputation and balance sheet at CA, the company formerly known as Computer Associates, with one goal in mind, taking over from prior CEO Sanjay Kumar, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison following an accounting scandal. The company paid $225 million to settle federal charges brought by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Justice. Before CA, Swainson had spent 26 years at IBM, including seven years running the Middleware business he created.

When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specified time period:
d = 1/2 gt^2
The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling.
Write a method named FallingDistance that accepts an object's falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The method should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during the time interval. Demonstrate the method by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments, and displays the return value.
import java.util.Scanner; import java.text.DecimalFormat; public class FallingDistance { public static void main(String[] args) { DecimalFormat num = new DecimalFormat("#,###.00"); Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); double fallingTime; System.out.print("Enter the falling time (in seconds): "); fallingTime = keyboard.nextDouble(); for(int i = 1; i <=10; i++) System.out.println(num.format(fallingDistance(i)) + " meters"); } public static double fallingDistance(double fallingTime) { double g = 9.8, a = 0.5; double d = a * g * Math.pow(fallingTime,2); return d; } }
My program runs, but no matter what falling time I enter, I get the same numbers. What am I doing wrong?

My late, much lamented sister-in-law, Bronagh Murphy, was in her time a playwright, a nurse, a poet, an actress, a midwife and a highly qualified expert in infertility treatment. She brought people into this world, and ushered them out, she brought poetry into this world in her writing and her actions, and ushered herself out of this world in a way which showed us how to live – she did all this with extraordinary care and compassion. There was nothing ordinary about her. Ruby is a poem of hers I heard her recite a few times at gatherings of family or friends – it captures a particular moment in her nursing experience when a dying woman's daughter was unable to get to her in time… (and it says everything about the kind of person the poet was).
You lay as on a beach
Spindley legs entwined
Nails bloody red
Waxy flesh, draping brittle bones
Like a golden yellow stole
Courtesy, not of a Floridian tan,
But a boulder of cancer
Blocking the duct
Visions of you in your days of yore
A lusty Jewish broad
Vocals etched with
Sediment of Scotch and tobacco
And as you gasped your last
I begged my God to make it fast
Bereft of drugs to ease your pain
I thought of French's sweet refrain
As your daughter wrestled with traffic
On the Finchley Road
I climbed in bed and held you tight
And from crazy Celt to dying Jew
I did the only thing I knew
"Are you right there, Ruby, are you right?"

A dozen federal, state and local law enforcement officers fanned out across Weld County on Saturday, checking to verify the addresses of about 100 sex offenders.
The U.S. Marshals Service, which provides overtime and equipment funding for similar operations in the county each year, teamed up with officers and deputies from the Weld County Sheriff's Office, Weld's probation office and Evans police. Five teams of two officers, some in plain clothes and others in uniform, worked in the heat of Saturday morning and afternoon to check on sex offenders on probation in the county. Officers drove to each address and tried to contact the offenders, some of whom weren't home at the time.
Sheriff's deputy Shane Scofield, also a special deputy U.S. Marshal, said the funding has allowed the sheriff's office to pay deputies overtime to check on offenders in the county's jurisdiction during the past few weeks.
Deputies also were paid overtime for working Saturday's operation, which was focused solely on sex offenders on probation.
Scofield is one of two sheriff's deputies who are designated as special deputy U.S. Marshals and who work on the marshals' Violent Offenders Task Force. Evans and Greeley also work closely with the marshals, and the federal agency provides funding to each agency several times a year to do sex offender sweeps.
The sweeps, like the one on Saturday, often lead to failure to register warrants and arrests. Deputies working during the past few weeks have discovered several offenders to be out of compliance with their registration, including one who clearly hadn't been living at the address he listed, Scofield said.
Scofield said the partnership with the marshals has been critical in catching sex offenders who skip state lines. For example, Scofield said the marshals were able to put pressure on a sex offender who failed to register and moved to another state. The offender was eventually arrested by another federal office on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"It's like having a huge resource of investigators across the country who are all set up to do the same thing," Scofield said.

In his providence God had given the earth to humanity, that meant that he had given it to everyone. Therefore the riches of creation were to be considered as a common good of the whole of humanity. Those who possessed these goods as personal property were really only stewards, ministers charged with working in the name of God, who remains the sole owner in the full sense, since it is God's will that created goods should serve everyone in a just way. The jubilee year was meant to restore this social justice. Pope John Paul II, As the Third Millennium Draws Near
While the details of the international debt crisis are quite complex, in essence it comes down to a fairly straightforward problem. Often through irresponsible practices on the parts of both creditors and debtor nations, the governments of some of the world's poorest countries have taken (and been given) loans that they do not have the capacity to repay. As a result, they have reduced spending on desperately needed health and education programs in an effort to meet their obligations to international lenders. But even after cutting back on social programs, many countries cannot make full repayment, and so over time debt builds up and makes it increasingly difficult to finance investments in the health, education, and development programs that could pull their people out of poverty. Pope John Paul II
In Ethiopia, debt payments are four times more than public spending on health, while over 100,000 children die every year from easily preventable and treatable diarrhea. Oxfam International, Position Paper, April, 1997
According to the Human Development Report for 1997, published by the UN Development Program (UNDP), sub-Saharan African governments transfer to northern creditors four times what they spend on the health of their people.
Pope John Paul II has identified the issue of international debt as a key priority for the church and an important element of our efforts to apply the tradition of jubilee to our day and time. The problem of the foreign debt is not only or even primarily economic; rather, it is a human problem for it leads to an ever-greater impoverishment and blocks the development and slows the advancement of those who are poorest. We ask ourselves whether the debt is valid, when paying it seriously jeopardizes the survival of our peoples, when the population was not consulted before contracting the debt, and when it has not always been used for lawful purposes. Latin American Catholic Bishops, Santo Domingo Conference, 1992
In Uganda, the government spends $3.00 per person annually on health and education and $17.00 per person annually on debt repayments. Yet one of every five Ugandan children dies from preventable disease before reaching the age five. Oxfam International, Position Paper, February, 1996
The globalized economy must be analyzed in the light of the principles of social justice, respecting the preferential option for the poor who must be allowed to take their place in such an economy, and the requirements of the international common good. For "the Church's social doctrine is a moral vision which aims to encourage governments, institutions and private organizations to shape a future consonant with the dignity of every person. Within this perspective it is possible to examine questions of external debt, internal political corruption and discrimination both within and between nations. Pope John Paul II - Ecclesia In America

NEW DURHAM — The center of town was filled with youngsters who lined Main Street Friday afternoon, passing bags of groceries down a line to the local food pantry.
Students of the New Durham School had been collecting food for the pantry for the last three weeks, and in all, accrued approximately 490 pounds of supplies.
With 188 students total at the New Durham School, every present, able-bodied child contributed to the "food chain," handing small plastic bags filled with a few non-perishable items at a time.
Janis Walker, 10, who is in the fifth grade, said it felt great to help out a good cause.
"I'm happy that we're donating all of this food and it's going to be wonderful surprise for everyone," she said. "It's so much fun seeing all the food passed back and forth."
Susan Randall, who works for the schools as a special education teacher and reading recovery specialist, said she helped to organize the event and said it had been about 15 years since the last time the school held a similar event.
"Look at it. It's active," she said, as children smiled and laughed, and worked together to send items down the line speedily.
President of the New Durham Food Pantry Winnie Berry said the help was greatly appreciated. She estimated the pantry is used by about 15 to 18 qualifying families in town, which averages to about 100 people. She said the pantry always needs help to keep their shelves fully stocked and it was wonderful to have the help of younger children. The food collected on Friday will be checked for expiration dates, she said, before being added to the pantry.
"This is awesome," Berry said, who worked the end of the line, gathering bags in grocery carts. "My granddaughter has been very excited. She's been looking forward to it."
Berry said her second-grader, Makenna Sowards, was proud to participate in the event.
Third grader Lizzie Holland, 8, said she was pleased to be working with classmates, too, even those outside of her grade. She was the first one in the line and worked quickly to pass the bags forward from a large table.
"I like that I get to work with a lot of other kids," she said, with a smile. "It feels kind of weird because it's just 'grab, hand, grab, hand.'"
Fifth grader Abby Corneau, 10, said her family brought in spaghetti and cans of vegetables for the classroom collections. Other items in the bags ranged from black beans to Ramen noodles and baking goods.
"I like the feeling of helping people in need," Corneau said.
Berry said the New Durham School and its student council helps every year to fill the pantry with paper goods as well, and she looks forward to working with the team again this year.
Those looking for assistance from the New Durham Food Pantry may contact Winnie Berry at 603-817-0372. The pantry is open to residents who meet specific requirements and is open every week on Saturdays, from 9 to 10 a.m.
Hand over hand from the heart: Students form human chain to move food from New Durham School to food pantry
NEW DURHAM — The center of town was filled with youngsters who lined Main Street Friday afternoon, passing bags of groceries down a line to the local food pantry.

Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy Summary
Turner Buckminster III is so unhappy with his family's move from Boston to the small town of Phippsburg, Maine, that he wishes he could just "light out for the Territories" like Huckleberry Finn. Turner's father, the Reverend Turner Buckminster II, has been called to minister at Phippsburg's First Congregational Church, but young Turner finds the town quite inhospitable.
Willis Hurd, son of the head deacon, invites Turner to play softball. In Phippsburg, the ball is pitched in a ridiculously high, slow arc, whereas in Boston it is thrown straight and true. When Turner flails at Willis's unorthodox offerings, he becomes the laughingstock of the town. Later the boys invite Turner to go swimming, but in Phippsburg this involves leaping off the granite cliffs lining the shore into the roiling sea forty feet below. When Turner balks, his humiliation is complete. Disconsolately skipping stones on the way home, Turner hits the picket fence of the formidable Mrs. Cobb, who complains to the Reverend. As a punishment, Turner is sentenced to go to the disagreeable woman's house every day to read to her.
Lizzie Bright Griffin lives on the tiny island of Malaga, just off the coast of Phippsburg. The granddaughter of a preacher, Lizzie is joyful and at one with the natural world. All of the residents of Malaga are Negroes who rely on the sea for their sustenance. The distinguished gentlemen of Phippsburg, led by the dour Mr. Stonecrop, consider the island and its poor inhabitants to be a blight; they want to be rid of them to promote tourism in the area. The islanders have been notified that they must leave regardless of whether they have a place to go.
Turner first meets Lizzie Bright on the shore when he is trying to hit rocks with a piece of driftwood so he will be able to handle Willis's pitches, should he ever play ball with him again. Although he has never met a Negro before, he takes to Lizzie immediately because she evinces the freedom of spirit he longs for but finds so elusive. Lizzie teaches Turner to hit the arching pitches thrown in Phippsburg. Later, she takes him to Malaga, where he meets her grandfather, Preacher Griffin. Turner feels at home in the "cold wildness" of the island. He meets the Griffins' neighbors, the Tripp family, and spends a "glorious day" playing with all the little Tripp children.
When Turner returns home, the city leaders are at his house, conferring with the Reverend about his "duty to the town." The men piously assert that the island residents are all drunkards and thieves who must be removed for their own safety. The Reverend hesitates to support them. Deacon Hurd, using information conveniently provided by Willis, forces Turner to admit he has been on the island with Lizzie. Mr. Stonecrop portrays Lizzie as a conniving "Negress" who will lead the innocent Turner to perdition. Regarding his wayward son with doubt, the Reverend reluctantly agrees to stand with the city leaders against the population of Malaga.
Turner is forbidden to ever go back to Malaga, but Lizzie comes to the mainland shore frequently to dig for clams, and Turner continues to see her. One day, while the two are climbing the granite cliffs, Lizzie falls and hits her head. Turner tries to get her home to her grandfather, but he has never rowed a boat before and struggles ineffectively to stay on course as Lizzie fights to remain conscious. The tide takes their dory into the open sea, where it drifts until nightfall. Then, in the most wondrous experience thus far in Turner's life, whales surround the boat. One comes so close that Turner looks directly into its eye, but when he reaches out to touch it, the whale is gone. Lizzie says that the whales will only let him touch them when he understands what they are saying, but the sheer wonder of just having seen them brings Turner a sense of immense peace.
Turner and Lizzie are rescued when the Hurds reach them in a sloop and tow them to shore. At Phippsburg,...

Glenrothes Triple Pack: A Home Scotch Tasting for Father's Day
New brands and bottles you should know.
I don't often write about them, but the recently released Glenrothes Triple Pack release has gotten me thinking about the utility of the gift pack, a purchase that can indeed be worth your while. Now, I'm not suggesting that you splurge on a two-pack of Malibu that comes with a pink swizzle straw, but a sampler pack can be a great introduction to a new spirit or distillery if it's done correctly. Enter Glenrothes, with a release of a flight of three 100 mL samples of their bottlings. This is a great combination pack to purchase for the Dad who's considering becoming a Scotch enthusiast.
The gentle Speyside flavor profile of Glenrothes' whisky is malty and mild, and makes a welcome introduction for those just getting started with Scotch. Unlike their big and brash cousins from Islay, such as Laphroaig or Ardbeg, Glenrothes is barely peated, offering a smoother taste approach to the water of life. Glenrothes also stands out from the pack of other Speyside distilleries with their unusual approach to their product line. Instead of simply having an age range (say, a 10 year, a 15 year, an 18 year, and a 21 year), they release vintage bottlings at non-standard ages. This allows them to release whiskies with different characteristics when they reach maturity, rather than being slaves to a certain age and strict house style.
So a Glenrothes pack allows Dad to pull out a few snifters and treat himself to a private tasting party of three different whisky vintages. (No guarantees that he'll invite you to join, but you can hope). And while this kit may not blow the socks off the whisky guy who has everything, it's a fun experience to taste your way through the range to see the different whiskies that can come out of the same distillery.
Glenrothes Select Reserve
Unlike the other two whiskies in the pack, the Select Reserve has no age statement. It's a distiller's blend of different vintages and casks, mixed to create a whiskey in a consistent house style. The lightest colored whiskey of the group, the Select Reserve's scent has a fair bit of alcohol, with honeysuckle and subdued oak, and is surprisingly spicy for how delicate the rest of the aromas are. The taste is much milder than the scent lets on, with a malty sweetness and orange rind bouncing around. It finishes quickly, and a little hot. This would make a killer hot toddy or Scotch and soda, but it's probably not my go-to for sipping.
Glenrothes 2001
The Glenrothes 2001 was bottled in 2012, after aging for 11 years and a few weeks. It's interesting to compare the other bottlings to the first. Though almost indistinguishable in color from the Select Reserve, the scent of the 2001 Glenrothes is much more balanced. There's also golden grain, and an almost beach-y wood thing going on...not saltwater, but rather walking in a sand dune forest, if that's not too crazy! The taste is a huge step up from the Select Reserve. It's creamy and malt forward, with clear vanilla and oak blending very well, and slight hint of baking spices. The finish is medium and warm: this is a great easy-drinking whiskey, and Dad might decide to stick with buying this vintage when the sample is long gone.
Glenrothes 1998
But for us, the last contender turns out to be the favorite. Bottled in 2009, this whisky aged for 10 years and (almost) 2 months. Wonderful aromas of spiced vanilla and hints of a syrupy sweetness float out of the glass, and the scent is full and rich. On sipping, I'm struck by how soft and creamy this whiskey is: it's practically malt candy! However it's not overly sweet, and baked oranges and cinnamon round out the flavor profile. Finishing long and warm, it's a wonderfully satisfying, if uncomplicated, dram.
The Triple Pack is available for a limited time, retailing at select outlets for around $40.

Thanks Ev, I found the reminder on your "tidbit" page. I don't have add poll or notify on my blue board pages...perhaps this is because I am new and have not made many posts yet.
You can try going to your profile, select modify profile, and then click on notifications. There, you can turn on notifications. However, the notify function does not always work. I don't think the poll function is enabled for new users.
Ah-ha! I found the notify button. Thanks.

Did you know that you have two numbers for your age? First is your chronological age, which is the actual amount of time that you have been alive. But there is also a second measurement, your biological age, which measures the age that your body seems to be.
Most of us have all had the experience of being surprised to find out that someone is far younger than we had imagined – for instance, when an individual we thought was in their late 50s turns out to actually be in their mid 40s. And, by the same token, we will occasionally discover that someone is considerably older than we had guessed. The reason for these discrepancies is often because their biological ages are different than their chronological ages.
The underpinnings that cause people to appear to be younger or older than their chronological age on the outside are also reflected by what is going on inside their bodies as well. The inner workings of one's cells and organs can also appear to be older or younger as well and scientists have been looking for a simple yardstick to measure biological age. It appears they have finally found one in our chromosomes, the genetic material that serves as a blueprint for all of the biological processes that take place within our cells.
At the ends of each of our chromosomes are tiny beads that prevent the double strands of DNA in the chromosomes from unraveling. These beads, also known as telomeres, can be compared to the plastic tips that keep the ends of our shoelaces from fraying. Every time that a cell divides, a telomere bead falls off from the end of the chromosome. It appears there is a direct correlation between telomere length and biological age.
The longer you live, in other words the greater your chronological age, the shorter the total length of your telomeres. But, you also affect your total telomere length by the lifestyle choices you make every day.
Healthful lifestyle choices increase telomere length while unhealthful choices decrease it. So by measuring telomere length, we now have a simple way of measuring biological age.
For those interested, I've included a few references below.
Happy Anti-aging!

The Obama Administration launched two new resources on Monday to help people prepare to enroll in state health insurance marketplaces, called exchanges, starting in October.
One was a revamped HealthCare.gov website, which includes a questionnaire that helps users see what options they'll have for insurance when open enrollment begins in October. The site, which also offers the option of chatting with a customer service representative, answers questions about health care reform in general, but directs California residents to the website of the state's exchange, called Covered California.
The other was a 24-hour number people can call to ask questions about the health insurance marketplaces: 1-800-318-2596.
Both the website and the phone line are available in Spanish, and the phone line can also help callers in more than 150 languages through an interpretation service.

When it comes to the uninsured in South Los Angeles, it's hard to predict the breakdown between those who will purchase insurance through California's exchange and those who enroll as a new Medi-Cal beneficiary when the program expands next year.
Nina Vaccaro, the executive director of the Southside Coalition of Community Health Centers, says that's in part because the area has so many "poverty pockets." She added that as far as the patients that use the coalition's eight clinics, it's likely that more of them will go the Medi-Cal route.
"Those folks are probably not going to be able to afford to buy into the exchange," Vaccaro said. She also noted that as long as they meet the income and citizenship or residency requirements, they'll be eligible to join Medi-Cal as part of the expansion.
Some will benefit from the exchange, though.
"There are some areas where folks are working and they just can't afford coverage out of their own pocket," said Vaccaro. "And those are folks that are going to benefit from Covered California. But they have higher income."
According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, more functionality will be added to the website in the coming months so that by October – when open enrollment for the exchanges begins – users will be able to create their own account, shop for plans and apply online. Starting in October, the 24-hour phone line will also be able to help people select plans and complete applications.
As of Tuesday, the HealthCare.gov website said there were 98 days left until open enrollment begins on October 1. Coverage for those plans goes into effect on the first day of 2014.

Board of Assessment & Appeals
The Board of Assessment Appeals is an official municipal agency. It is designed to serve as an appeal body for taxpayers who believe that town or city assessors erred in the valuation of their properties or erroneously denied them exemptions.
It is important to note that the board is not an assessing agency. Is does not value taxable property, that is the function of the Assessor. Its purpose is best explained by the word "review," which was formerly in their title: It is a review body, and as such serves independently of the assessor.
The Board is the first level of appeal from the actions of the assessor. Its decisions are binding for one year and may be changed by the assessor on the subsequent Grand List when a reduction of increase was not equitably instituted.
It operates as an intermediary level between the assessor and the courts. The Board enables taxpayers to be heard by their peers at no expense. No fees are charged for the appeal process. Furthermore, taxpayers do not have to be represented by counsel.
See the blue Calendar tab (above) for upcoming meetings. Agendas and minutes are available at the Town Hall and on this website. Meetings are open to the public.
The three members are elected for a term of four years. Vacancies are filled by the Selectmen until the next Town election.

Twisty story telling director Shane Carruth, director of Primer, has released the score to his latest film Upstream Color to tantalize your ears with promises of nothingness and everythingness. We don't know — it's all so abstract and crazy. Classic Carruth. According to Slashfilm, Carruth's latest work hinges greatly on its score (also composed by the director). So strap in and take a listen. And if you find any clues, please be a dear and tell us.

I have nervous anticipation.
Connie Britton was recently cast in This Is Where I Leave You, a movie based on a delicious book that you should read this weekend, about a family that sits shiva after the father passes away. (Lainey: I've written about Jonathan Tropper, the author, before. He writes beautifully. And How To Talk To A Widower is one of my favourite books.) The movie cast also includes Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Jason Bateman and, in the headline you most likely read, Adam Driver, who will play the youngest son in the family – and Britton's boyfriend.
There is nothing – nothing - I love more than a book – or a movie – about a f*cked-up family. I am of the opinion that every family is, in fact, f*cked – it's just that the ones show on television have more kids in the family, the better to explore a variety of issues instead of the reality, which is that they're all crammed onto one or two kids in most families.
But the family dynamic is the most real. The most perpetual. No matter who you are in the rest of your life, you're still twelve years old and whiny in the context of your family. You can't escape it, and you don't, ever, really. Nobody says "whew, I've finally finished worrying about my family".
So I'm excited. And this movie – this cast – I want to contain myself, because I know I'll only be disappointed...but it seems like something good. Remember The Family Stone? Remember how that movie was both more and less than the sum of its parts, because of the cast? That cast elevated a movie that had some problems, and made even the resulting (familial) confusion great to watch.
This is how I feel about this. I never hoped I would have the opportunity to watch Connie Britton and Tina Fey glare at one another, then watch Tina Fey roll her eyes in commiseration with Jane Fonda in the SAME scene! It's amazing, right? Even the prospect of it? Timothy Olyphant is involved here, people! Ben "Jean Ralphio" Schwartz!
I can feel myself getting overexcited. I don't want to do this. Not every family movie is a hit, or even a satisfying exploration of what makes the ties that bind so messed up. (See Britton's recent appearance in A Fitzgerald Family Christmas).
But this book also brought me great, awful, delicious joy. And the author, Tropper, appears to be penning the screenplay. This is about as good as news can get, adaptation wise.
Read it before the movie comes out. You won't be sorry, but you will wish you had more siblings to take the focus off yourself every now and again.

A Remedy In Writing
"Talking about things is what helps us heal and recover from challenging times in life," explains Daisy Whitney, host of New Media Minute and author of The Mockingbirds. Yet, many women feel silenced about sexual abuse – especially teens who have been date raped. Daisy Whitney just might change that with her new book. She knows a thing or two about overcoming obstacles and finding the strength to speak out.
Daisy Whitney is a talented writer and media expert with a thriving personal business and family. She's also releasing her debut novel, The Mockingbirds, on November 2, 2010, which has already received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly. Yet, her journey to success and "masterfully" written novel began with a hardship — one that changed her life and inspired her to write about date rape, vigilantism and academic politics.
Daisy Whitney was date raped when she was 19-years-old and she understands firsthand what it means to find her voice and the strength to press charges against her attacker. "I was a freshman in college at the time and am definitely a big believer in the power of speaking up."
With the support of her friends Whitney pressed charges in her school's justice system at Brown University. "In the early nineties we were starting to understand date rape," said Whitney in an interview. "Institutions now have disciplinary systems that recognize sexual assault as a violation of the code."
Thankfully, her school handled Whitney's case and she healed from the incident by being able to talk about it and find closure for herself. After receiving her degree, Whitney started her career in journalism as a reporter and later founded her own business as a reporter and media expert.
The Mockingbirds is the first in a series about a secret society in a private high school called Themis Academy. The protagonist, Alex, is sexually assaulted after a night of drinking. She struggles to remember what happened that night as she copes with her fear of the classmate who raped her. Her friends provide guidance when she realizes that she has been violated and abused. In her quest to heal, she encounters the Mockingbirds, a student-run justice system and she decides to press charges against her attacker.
In this exciting and evocative book, Whitney captures the complexity of date rape with her narrative about Alex, an exceptional concert pianist who wants to pursue music at Juilliard. Whitney creates a powerful scenario, filled with realistic characters that show teens the trials of coping and the importance of finding empowerment after assault.
The novel comes at a crucial time. One in six women will become victims of sexual assault during their lifetime, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN). Many of them are girls, ages 16-19. The California Coalition Against Sexual Assault estimates nearly half of reported cases of sexual assault and attempted rape are teens. "According to a study conducted by The Northern Westchester Shelter, with Pace Women's Justice Center, about 83% of 10th graders said they would sooner turn to a friend for help with dating abuse than a teacher, counselor, parent or other caring adult," said Whitney in an email.
For Daisy Whitney, speaking up and increasing awareness are not only key elements of her novel, they are also part of her business plan, turning her tragedy to triumph, while helping teens on the way.

I am a proud member of Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK) and my act of kindness involves taking digital photographs of headstones in cemeteries in Tarrant and Hill Counties, Texas. A person from somewhere besides Tarrant or Hill County (usually out of state) sends a request to me through RAOGK for photos, and I do my best to find that headstone and get a picture of it, and send it back to the requesting person. It is a lot of fun and it gives me a way to "pay back" the efforts of the many vounteers who contribute so much to the genealogical community.
So, this morning I made a trip to a local cemetery, one that is also the final resting place for many of my own ancestors. It is a quite large cemetery, so my first stop is usually at the office, to get a map for the exact location of my headstone. The ladies in the office are always very kind and helpful, and I certainly appreciate their assistance.
I also stopped by the gravesite of my Uncle Ladd, who died last September. I was very pleased to see that his permanent headstone is now in place. It is a simple headstone, containing on either side of his name the image of a cowboy holding a saddle. Very appropriate, as Ladd was the embodiment of The Cowboy. I think he may have been born 100 years too late:
After paying my respects to Uncle Ladd, I then found my 2 RAOGK headstones (after I waited for a nearby funeral to conclude), snapped the pix, and returned home and emailed the images to the gentleman who requested them.
