Operation PAR: Addiction & Mental Health Counseling
Operation PAR provides affordable residential and out-patient alcohol and substance abuse treatment. They are a leading local provider of substance abuse counseling and co-occurring disorders. (Formerly referred to as "Dual Diagnosis" treatment.) They provide a comprehensive approach to wellness. Our law office has enjoyed a long and rewarding relationship with Operation PAR. The lawyers at Russo Pelletier & Sullivan financially support the work of PAR and participate in their charity functions. The criminal defense attorneys in our office have joined the PAR counselors as members of the Florida Association of Drug Court Professionals. Operation PAR's treatment success has earned it federal funding and the respect of our local Pinellas County Judges. It has also achieved a national reputation for excellence because of its research initiatives funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Valerie R. McClain, Psy.D.: Forensic Neuropsychologist
Dr. Valerie McClain provides both confidential psychological evaluations and reports that meet the high standards of both the State Attorney's Office and our local Pinellas County judges. Under Florida's Criminal Punishment Code (commonly referred to as the "Sentencing Guidelines") a treatable psychological disorder that requires specialized care is a valid basis for the judge to impose a non-state prison sentence, even if the law would otherwise require mandatory incarceration. For that reason, having a neuropsychological examination that results in a finding of a medically recognized psychological disorder could provide your counsel with mitigating evidence that could justify:
- A more lenient sentence;
- Legal Grounds for a departure from the Florida Criminal Punishment Code (Sentencing Guidelines);
- An argument to the judge in your case, that the best interests of justice support a resolution that entails counseling and/or treatment, as opposed to incarceration in the county jail or state prison system.
Dr. McClain received her doctorate degree in 1992 from the Florida Institute of Technology. She is Board Certified in Forensic Neuropsychology and is also a Board Certified Forensic Examiner. The doctor is a member of the International Neuropsychological Society and was honored in the past to receive the "Outstanding Caregiver Award" from Epilepsy Services. Dr. McClain provides credible objective testimony for the court's consideration and can be an intregal part of insuring a fair and just result. She has testified in an "expert" capacity on countless occasions in the Pinellas County Criminal Court system.

Charles holds a Class A agency license, a Class C private investigator license (Florida's highest level of licensure), a Class G statewide firearm license, a concealed weapons permit and a Master Mariner License. In addition to his past military experience, he holds various firefighting, first aid, and first responder certifications.

13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water."
John 4:13-15
I had the distinct pleasure of writing the devotional content for March's faith art box and I sort of wished I could have an entire book to fill. When it comes to the subject of living water, let's just say my heart is full. My heart is full because I have known what it's like to be thirsty. And no, I don't mean being in need of a Gatorade, but being deeply, spiritually thirsty and feeling like there was nothing to quench me.
I've been a Christian since the first grade, nearly my entire life, and though a huge part of me knows how incredibly blessed I am, a part of me also knows how easy it can be to get disillusioned in my faith. Things start to sound more like cliches than truths, bible verses get quoted for comfort but often lack the spiritual depth that our God intended, and you can start to operate by "that's just the way it's always been done" kind of thinking.
When I got to college, I was nearly bowled over by the constant spiritual attacks and rhetoric in the curriculum asking me to give grounds for my faith, only to quickly attempt to knock it down. I struggled greatly in those years to give the real reason for my faith besides "that's just the way I raised" or "because my parents taught me…" That would not stand in the world. I found myself so deeply thirsty for God, and not just because that was the only thing I knew, but because I craved RELATIONSHIP with him. I was lonely, lost, overwhelmed and so very, thirsty for Him.
I'm happy to share that I survived those college years and as a result built an incredibly strong faith and relationship with the Lord that I defy anyone to try and topple. In the years since, I have seen God answer prayers, deliver desires of my heart, and reveal a path and purpose for my life. Over and over again, he has met me at the well, much like the thirsty Samaritan woman in John 4, and quenched my thirst with the Living Water that only our Lord and Savior can give. We come to him as sinners, and leave filled with his gift of living water and the promise of eternity with Him. Thank you, Jesus!
For my entry this month, I knew I wanted to use that sweet sketchy well stamp from the kit and I knew my title before I even started – Meet Jesus at the Well because it's happened for me over and over again. I come to him, a sinner, and leave forgiven, filled and loved.
I started out by laying down my background by smooshing some Distress Oxide inks in Broken China and Peacock Feathers with a few sprays of water and the plastic packaging from the kit contents. I let that completely dry and then stamped in the well at the bottom of the page using archival black ink.
Next, I worked on my title by starting with a pink plain label/tag that I found in my stash (I think this was from Studio Calico) and building my title on top, using the adorable water drop alphas and some of the stickers in the kit. I also decided to use some of the stamps and one of the tag stickers (I love these new additions to the sticker page!). I secured that down with a few washi tapes from my stash as well and finished if off with the living water sticker from the kit.
I wanted to use more of the wordfetti so I did a Mad Libs style journaling at the bottom, using the stickers to supplement my writing. I then went in and outlined everything with my black journaling pen to make it pop and to tie in the black stamping.
I added a few more bits of washi around the page to tie everything together, including some at the top of the page to create a better foundation for my bow. How CUTE are the bows in this kit?!
To pull it all together, I hit the page with a little bit of black watercolor splatter. I felt like it needed that rustic look to help the well stamp feel more organic and sketched.
Friends, my prayer for you is that in your time of thirst and need, you seek out Jesus. Meet him at the well and offer up your heart. I promise that in return he will give you soul-filling, thirst-quenching, all-fulfilling living water. With our God, you never need to thirst again. Drink, and be satisfied.

The choice of a good tattoo artist is critical to avoid taking risks in the process of tattooing, but once done this now is your responsibility to care for the tattoo to facilitate scarring and prevent infection. Here we are given some tips on how to care for a newly done tattoo.
Do not take off the plastic protector. When the tattooed process is finished, the wound of the skin will be covered by an antibacterial gel and a plastic band. During the first few hours you must not remove it, as it protects you from all the germs and dirt that could affect it.
Clean the tattoo after 3 hours. After this time, now we can remove the plastic bandage and clean blood – it is normal that the tattoo bleeds. For that use an antibacterial soap and warm or cold water. Neither scrub, nor use sponges; gives a gentle massage with your fingers and rinse.
Dry with a clean towel that do not remove lint or tissue paper very carefully that there are no remains.
Apply moisturizer. Ideally, you use a special cream for tattoos, as these favor faster healing, but in case you do not have it utilizes a neutral cream to refresh the area and calm itching.
Do not use petroleum jelly, or oils. Although two products are very popular use, they are not recommended at all.
Do not wear clothes that can leave lint on the tattoo. Ideally wear a smooth and cool fabric garment that allows aeration of the tattoo.
Avoid sun exposure. During the first few days you should avoid it completely, then you can go allowing its contact with the sun but slightly. Cover with clothing or protected with sunscreen.
Do not scratch your tattoo. It is true that the itching is very annoying, but you should avoid scratching because nails are very infectious and could also start the crust of the skin and with them the color of the tattoo.

NXT Superstar and former ECW and NWA World Champion Rhino spoke to Cult of Whatever recently about his career in wrestling, and working for three of the most prominent bosses in wrestling. You can see highlights below, and the full interview at this link.
TNA's reincarnation of ECW:
"I don't necessarily think it was ECW, I think it was more the hardcore element and fans really enjoyed that moment. ECW was basically a group of men and women that were rejected and told they weren't good enough and they were either let go from WCW/WWE or they couldn't even get looked at by those two companies. ECW took in all the guys that were rejected and we all had something to prove and I think the fans could relate to it."
Doing TNA's 2014 shows in New York:
"It was great; everybody started chanting 'You Sold Out' at me because I teamed up with Ethan Carter. What that gave me the opportunity to do was show a different side of me where I could be entertaining and funny. I was basically a hired hand, you pay me and I would fight your battles. What was funny is I would go out there with the intension to make myself laugh inside and my buddies would watch the show and they would call me up and say there were laughing so hard. If you can entertain yourself you can definitely entertain the live audience and the audience watching at home. I just had so much fun with that."

Enjoying his time in TNA:
"Again I had a fantastic time in TNA, I got to share a locker room with legends of the industry, Ric Flair and Kevin Nash. I got to pick their brains, Kevin and I became really good friends, it was quite surreal to be standing there with Ric Flair and just picking his brains. After several months I asked Ric if he knew what I was doing and he said yeah you're picking my brain and that's how you learn in this industry. I talked to Ric about the matches with him and Harley Race and how they worked and he was just so generous with the information, I was soaking it all in and trying to figure out how I could fit it into my work."
Working for Paul Heyman, Dixie Carter and Vince McMahon:
"Paul Heyman would do the interviews after the matches and I remember one time he was telling me about Magnum T.A. and how he was such a great performer in that ring and how he was going to be the next champion and they were planning to have him hold the title for 10 years. I learnt so much from so many different conversations with Paul. Dixie Carter I've seen how she came from nothing and she would sit there and watch the product and learn, learn, learn and learn. She didn't watch it from a monitor she would watch it from the side with the audience.
"I always tell people this if there was no Linda McMahon there would be no Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon is so crucial to that business. She is the office working every day, it's a family business and they love what they've created. I see the same commitment from Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. When I was working with Stephanie during the invasion angle she explained to me how she used to work in the mail room and different parts of the job when she was younger. It was the same with Shane McMahon they didn't get it easy; they worked hard for what they've got."

FierceBiotech published the top 15 biotech VC deals of 2010 last week, measured by dollars invested. Since they noted an overall uptick in investments in 2010, it seemed like a worthwhile time to look back. Here's what U.S. VC investment in biopharma and medical devices looked like from 2007 to 2010 (normalized to 2007 levels):
Not unexpectedly, a huge decline between 2007 and 2009, though not as big as the overall decline in VC investments. Here's the really interesting part — the average amount invested (±1σ) among the top 15 deals each year:
Remarkably stable. Even during a period of steeply declining investment there will be standouts that generate real excitement, proving that as FierceBiotech said in 2008 "[g]ood science will attract funding in any market."
It's not a surprise that good ideas always get some funding, but why do the top investees always attract the same amount? The price of admission to the top 15 between 2007 and 2010 has ranged only between $39 and $42 million.
It must be that (once a concept reaches a certain stage) the amount of money needed to really propel a life sciences company to success is constant — apparently an average of $50 – $60 million — and recognizing that, VCs will fund their best prospects to that level even at the expense of other investments. So the next time you're contemplating a $10 million C round, keep in mind that you're more than two standard deviations off the mean investment made when VCs really mean it. It's an interesting idea the other way too: Pacific Biosciences, which IPO'd in the middle of its range at $16/share last October, was the top deal twice in four years (including the +2.4σ variant of $109m in 2010). It's currently trading at $15.74, giving it a market cap of $831.43 million, just over double the reported $370 million of VC that it raised prior to the IPO.
Check out FierceBiotech's list of the top VC investments from 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and apply your own 20:20 hindsight to your heart's content. Also, keep your fingers crossed that a 3% increase stops feeling like such a victory when we see the 2011 data.

[Excerpt] If bargaining is broad-based (in nonfragmented units) and if the parties have full resort to a reasonable panoply of economic weapons, the stakes usually will be too high for either side to press for impasse. But in the event of a breakdown in negotiations, the parties should be allowed to engage in a fair fight.

Soulmate - When to look for one and how to determine if you have found the one
If your looking for a loving, lasting relationship there are times that will be very favorable and on the flip side times when you need to be extra careful. The planets that are most favorable for relationships are Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Pluto and the astroid Chiron. Of these, good aspects between Venus or Neptune and Chiron are the most favorable. Aspects between these planets and Saturn, especially Saturn and Chiron are very unfavorable for relationships.
Here is what you want to look for:
The best time to find a soulmate is when there is a transiting aspect between Chiron and Venus, Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto in your chart. If you meet someone during this period the chances that that person will be the right one for you are greatly increased. The other person should also be having these good aspects. Then you want to compare that person's chart with your own. You will need to have aspects between Chiron and the planets mentioned above with the other person.
What to avoid:
Saturn is the big nemesis here, especially if it is making a bad aspect to Chiron. During this time you are highly unlikely to meet a loving, long-term partner. Also if there are bad aspects between you and the other person involving Chiron and Saturn the chances of a long-term relationship are greatly diminished.
Chiron is the asteroid that signifies love in a relationship. Without it you may have attraction on an emotional, mental and/or physical level but will lack the love that holds it all together.
There are other planets that are important in a relationship for instance Mercury (communication) and Mars (working cooperatively).
Finally there is one asteroid that is directly related to sex and affairs - Juno. I'll say more about this in a future post.
If you would like to know when you are most likely to meet a potential partner or if you are in an existing relationship and want to know the potential for a long-term relationship you can contact me. My contact information is on my web page edcastroastrology.com

The nonprofit sector works hard to maximize the effective use of technology. Organizations face difficult challenges — from insufficient data and lean budgets to overworked staffs — just trying to keep up with changing technologies and trends, and with the rest of the sector.
To help them cast an analytical eye on technology decisions, NTEN and The NonProfit Times came together to create the Nonprofit IT Staffing and Spending Survey. It gives us a good look at the state of nonprofit staffing, and helps us provide organizations with information to help evaluate the state of their IT spending.
We began this effort with the 2006 survey, the first of its kind. We have repeated the survey every year since, and plan to continue doing so annually to provide a long-term view of nonprofit IT staffing.
Our hope is that this survey will help nonprofits answer the challenging questions by providing greater context of what similar — and possibly more successful — organizations are doing.

OMG!! What a bus ride from Borobudur to Semarang! We had a police escort for our convoy of 8 buses, to and from the port and Borobudur. According to Ade, our Indonesian cabin attendant, it's the only way to cover the 60 miles distance in any reasonable amount of time. We had police cars, lights and sirens, in front and behind, clearing traffic. Also, at major right hand turns (think left turn in US) there was a flagman holding traffic for us. We were bus #8, the last one. At one point we got separated from the pack (not sure how) and our...Jump to full entry

by Lora We awoke at 4am to take a sunrise tour of Borobudur - a large Buddist monument about an hour outside of Yogyakarta. It was constructed around 800 AD, and was re-discovered in 1800s. We had the fortune of having Fatah as our tour guide - he grew up right in front of Borodudur and it used to be his playground as a child! The stupa has 9 tourable platforms, which are viewed in a clockwise fashion. Each level has various reliefs which depict the life of Buddha.

For 75,000 rupiah ($8), we bought a trip to the Buddhist temple of Borobudur and the Hindu temple of Prambanan, instead of the cheaper but much more hassle do-it-yourself public transport version. Plus, the tour got us discounts on the temple entry fees, which are usually over 100,000 rupiah each.

The meaning of AMP
Jeremy backs up Ethan's article this week with a fairly scathing article on AMP and how it is being positioned. I'm trying my best to be as even minded as I can but I find myself siding with the ideas of both Jeremy and Ethan. I want a faster web, but not one that relies on AMP. The article looks at the way AMP is marketed and positioned vs how Jeremy believes it actually applies itself.
If AMP were actually the product of working web developers, this justification would make sense. As it is, we've got one team at Google citing the preference of another team at Google but representing it as the will of the people.
This is just one example of AMP's sneaky marketing where some finely-shaved semantics allows them to appear far more reasonable than they actually are.An excerpt from The meaning of AMP

Heavenly Holidays New Year's Eve...
Oh man, for the second year in a row, we were blown away by the pure family FUN Heavenly Village offers the community. In 13° weather, we rang in the New Year simultaneously with the Ball Drop in Times Square.
Stilt walkers, face painters... there was something for everyone.
One of all our all time favorites is the photo booth. The guys running it were great and we all left with an 8 X 10 color glossy souvenir of the night.
The contrast between fire and ice began with this fantastic group- Fire Groove, a family team known for their daredevil stunts, sexy performers, mind blowing shows, and elaborate costumes. We were impressed!
The LA band Wes Quave had us dancing so much we were actually warm. They are an energetic, talented group who really made the night exciting.
Probably my favorite part of the night was the performance by Fear-No-Ice. This duo of ice carving rock stars never fails to thoroughly entertain and delight. It's so hard to explain why they are so awesome. You'll just have to believe me. Wow!
The evening concluded with a spectacular fireworks extravaganza as we bid 2014 adieu and looked forward to a New Year of new possibilities. There is nowhere I'd rather be than right here in Tahoe with great friends and fabulous fun. Happy New Year. Here's to an incredible 2015!

It's a sad commentary on the state of our national affairs when an Anthony Weiner story comes as something of a relief, an amusing little rest stop on the Highway to Hell.
Of course, it isn't. It was during the investigation into whether Weiner had shown his — well, you know — to an underage girl that then-FBI chief James Comey announced he was snuffling around in The Hilldebeast's in-box again.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
In related news, there is no truth to the rumor that the former Democratic congressman will move to Las Vegas to begin a new life as a porn star and change his name to Anthony Dildo.

Creed Defends CAP Budget at Agriculture Council
Speaking after today's Council of Agriculture and Fisheries Council, Minister Michael Creed emphasised the importance of a strong and well financed Common Agricultural policy (CAP) not only for European agriculture, but also for employment creation and economic development, particularly in rural areas.
Minister Creed was responding to discussion on a Commission report on the result of an EU wide public consultation on the future of the CAP, and referred also to a recent reflection paper from the EU Budget Commissioner on the EU Budget.
Referring to today's discussions, the Minister said:
"It is more important than ever, against the background of Brexit, and in the context of global food security issues, that we have a strong, well financed CAP post 2020.
Of course the policy has to deliver value for money for EU citizens. I am confident that the CAP can meet the test of value added, in terms of food security, employment creation and environmental sustainability. It underpins the production of safe high quality food for 500 million people who live in the EU, provides vital support for farm incomes and sustains the rural economies across the EU. From an Irish perspective, CAP supports 173,400 jobs in the Agri Food sector, accounts for approximately 7.6% of GDP and provides a platform for the development of Ireland's largest indigenous sector, with €26 billion in turnover."
Concluding, the Minister said that it was essential that the CAP was not viewed as an "old policy" and rather as a modern and innovative policy that can deliver for all EU citizens.
Minister Creed also met with his Spanish counterpart, Minister Isabel Garcia Tejerina, to discuss a range of issues of mutual interest, including the impact of Brexit on the agri food and fisheries sectors, and the future financing of the CAP.

The order of impurities being excreted from the kidneys: Kidneys → Ureters → Urinary Bladder → Urethra
The urinary system, also known as the renal system, consists of the two kidneys, ureters, the bladder, and the urethra. Each kidney consists of millions of functional units called nephrons. The purpose of the renal system is to eliminate wastes from the body, regulate blood volume and pressure, control levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate blood pH. The kidneys have extensive blood supply via the renal arteries which leave the kidneys via the renal vein. Following filtration of blood and further processing, wastes (in the form of urine) exit the kidney via the ureters, tubes made of smooth muscle fibers that propel urine towards the urinary bladder, where it is stored and subsequently expelled from the body by urination. The female and male urinary system are very similar, differing only in the length of the urethra.[1]
Urine is formed in the kidneys through a filtration of blood. The urine is then passed through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored. During urination (peeing) the urine is passed from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body.
About 1-2 litres of urine are produced every day in a healthy human, although this amount may vary according to circumstances such as fluid intake.
There are several functions of the Urinary System:
Average urine production in adult humans is about 1 – 2 L per day, depending on state of hydration, activity level, environmental factors, weight, and the individual's health. Producing too much or too little urine needs medical attention. Polyuria is a condition of excessive production of urine (> 2.5 L/day), oliguria when < 400 mL are produced, and anuria one of < 100 mL per day.
The first step in urine formation is the filtration of blood in the kidneys. In a healthy human the kidney receives between 12 and 30% of cardiac output, but it averages about 20% or about 1.25 L/min.
The basic structural and functional unit of the kidney is the nephron. Its chief function is to regulate the concentration of water and soluble substances like sodium salts by filtering the blood, reabsorbing what is needed and excreting the rest as urine.
In the first part of the nephron, the renal corpuscle blood is being filtrated from the circulatory system into the nephron. A pressure difference between forces the filtrate from the blood across the filtration membrane. The filtrate includes water, small molecules and ions that easily pass through the filtration membrane. However larger molecules such as proteins and blood cells is prevented from passing through the filtration membrane. The amount of filtrate produced every minute is called the glomerular filtration rate or GFR and amounts to a staggering 180 litres per day. About 99% of this filtrate is then reabsorbed as it passes through the nephron and the remaining 1% becomes urine.
The urinary system is regulated by the endocrine system by hormones such as antidiuretic hormone, aldosterone, and parathyroid hormone.[2]
The urinary system is under influence of the blood pressure, nervous system and endocrine system.
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals. Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels. Vasopressin regulates the body's retention of water by acting to increase water absorption in the collecting ducts of the kidney nephron.[3] Vasopressin increases water permeability of the kidney's collecting duct and distal convoluted tubule by inducing translocation of aquaporin-CD water channels in the kidney nephron collecting duct plasma membrane.[4]
Urine moves from the nephrones collecting duct system to the minor calyx and then the major calyx before entering the renal pelvis, a funnel-like dilated proximal part of the ureter within the kidney. The major function of the renal pelvis is to act as a funnel for urine flowing to the ureter. From here the urine flows through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until urination takes place.
Urination is the ejection of urine from the urinary bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. In healthy humans (and many other animals), the process of urination is under voluntary control. In infants, some elderly individuals, and those with neurological injury, urination may occur as an involuntary reflex. In other animals, in addition to expelling waste material, urination can mark territory or express submissiveness. Physiologically, micturition involves coordination between the central, autonomic, and somatic nervous systems. Brain centers that regulate urination include the pontine micturition center, periaqueductal gray, and the cerebral cortex. In male placental mammals, urine is ejected through the penis, and in female placental mammals through the vulva.
Urologic disease can involve congenital or acquired dysfunction of the urinary system.
Kidney diseases are normally investigated and treated by nephrologists, while the specialty of urology deals with problems in the other organs. Gynecologists may deal with problems of incontinence in women.
Diseases of other bodily systems also have a direct effect on urogenital function. For instance it has been shown that protein released by the kidneys in diabetes mellitus sensitises the kidney to the damaging effects of hypertension.[5]
Diabetes also can have a direct effect in urination due to peripheral neuropathies which occur in some individuals with poorly controlled diabetes.

This is a neat video showing Publicis Groupe's Maurice Levy, reviewing a challenging year in macro terms and looking forward to a "difficult" 2012. He also allows some of the troops to sit in his hot seat (Levy is on the last, rather extended lap towards retirement).
In the first three quarters of 2011 PG reported revenues of $5.78 billion, with organic growth of 6.9 per cent against 6.6 per cent in 2010. However ad forecasts are being revised downwards the whole time and, by releasing the video, Levy may be trying to prepare the markets for a below par final quarter in 2011.
PG's most besetting issue at the moment is the future of one of its biggest accounts, the lion's share of $3bn General Motors global media which is tipped to be on its way to Carat. But the agency group recently scooped $1bn Sprint creative and media in the US.

Actor Daniel Craig is out promoting his third turn as 007 in the new Bond film "Skyfall" and though he's signed on to play the secret agent in two more films after this one, he's already nominating a possible successor: Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard.
From Liverpool's official website:
"Who would I rather be, captain of Liverpool or Bond?" asked Craig. "Well I don't think I could keep up any more so Bond will do but Steven Gerrard would make a good Bond.
"He is a good leader so you know what, seriously, who knows?"
Now, it's worth noting that Craig is a big Liverpool fan and he visited with the team in Boston during the preseason so it's clear that even major movie stars are prone to seeing their favorite club's captain through rose-colored glasses. It's also worth noting that he wasn't even asked about Gerrard -- he just volunteered that idea as if he's been privately considering it for some time now. I mean, Jonjo Shelvey could definitely be a young Blofeld, but a Bond who is only concerned with keeping Phil Collins on the playlists of the world's top DJs would be weird (yet probably still better than Quantum of Solace).
At the very least, Gerrard would have to be better than Wayne Rooney playing Bond. Here's proof...

Bill giving flags to families of federal workers killed in the line of duty pulled from agenda.
A House of Representatives bill allowing for payment of "expenses incident to the presentation of a (U.S.) flag" for civilians who are killed while working for the federal government was pulled from the legislative agenda Wednesday night September 7, 2011.
The Civilian Service Recognition Act of 2011 (H.R. 2061) was introduced May 31 by Rep. Bill Hanna of New York. Noting that 3,000 federal employees have died since 1993, Hanna said, "Like members of the armed services, civilian federal employees are often in harm's way. Ours is a grateful nation, one that values the sacrifices made in honor of this country. A life can never be repaid, but it can be honored."
Legion staff are working with House officials to get the bill amended.
"This bill leaves far too much to be determined by a few individuals," said Tim Tetz, Legislative director of The American Legion. "It allows agency heads to determine who may be eligible upon their deaths. It allows them to determine 'next of kin.' It doesn't clearly identify associated costs, and it leaves far too much to be decided without any public feedback."

From the remote northern towns to New York City, New York state is known for its four definitive seasons. Few of the items packed for a trip in winter will suffice if visiting in summer, but the fluctuating temperatures and sometimes unpredictable precipitation makes packing difficult even when checking the weather forecast. Preparing for all possibilities will guarantee an enjoyable visit to New York without sweating or shivering.
There's no denying it, winters in New York are generally long and range from cold to bone-chilling. Layers are an absolute must when visiting any New York city in winter. If planning to spend much time outdoors, thermal underwear under the clothes will be much appreciated. Pack long pants, wool socks, several close-fitting, long-sleeved shirts, and sweaters or sweatshirts. It is likely to encounter snow – the state averages more than 40 inches of snow each winter, with northern cities often exceeding this – so outerwear is crucial. Make space in the bags for a pair of waterproof snow boots, an insulated parka, a scarf, gloves and a hat.
When spring begins, often a fair bit of snow still remains on the ground in many parts of New York; but by the end of the season, average high temperatures reach around 70 degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the state. Pack T-shirts and several lightweight sweatshirts or cardigans that can layer together on warmer days, as well as a heavier coat in the event of cool weather. Rain is common in spring, so pack all-weather boots and an umbrella in case of any precipitation.
Summer days can range from chilly in the morning to blistering hot in the afternoon to rainy at night, so this season can be the hardest to pack for. Shorts and tank tops are appropriate for many summer days, but pack a few pairs of capri pants and long pants and a sweatshirt or cardigan as well for cooler days. Sandals or lightweight shoes will be needed, but pack supportive sneakers as well if walking around New York City or want to hike in the mountains of upstate New York. Add sunscreen, insect repellent and sunglasses to the bag.
Autumn is usually a beautiful season in New York, as the leaves turn colors and the air turns crisp. Unless it's unseasonably warm, pack long pants. Add supportive sneakers or hiking shoes to the bag in order to take a walk to admire the fall leaves. Autumn can be windy, so consider bringing a windbreaker to protect from the cold breezes without making you feel overly warm. Add a lightweight scarf and gloves in the event that the winter cold sets in early.

Just prior to the federal election of 2007, the Australian government led by John Howard decreed the "Northern Territory National Emergency Response", commonly known as the Intervention, officially in reaction to an investigation by the Northern Territory government into allegedly rampant sexual abuse and neglect of Indigenous children. The emergency laws authorised the Australian government to drastically intervene in the self-determination of Indigenous communities in contravention of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.Far from improving the living conditions of Indigenous Australians and children, the policies have resulted in disempowerment, widespread despair, criminalisation and higher unemployment. The Intervention and subsequent political measures have led to heated controversies and continue to divide the Australian nation. They have revived the trauma of the past—including of the Stolen Generations—and have substantially damaged the process of reconciliation.Fourteen essays by scholars from Australia and Germany examine (historical) contexts and discourses of the Intervention and subsequent policies impacting Indigenous Australia since 2007 from the perspective of diverse academic disciplines including history, sociology, law, Indigenous studies, art history, literature, education and media studies. They invite readers to engage in the debate about human rights, about Indigenous self-determination, and about the preservation of Indigenous culture.

Hubert Lawrence | World Junior Wonderment
With a record medal haul of four gold, five silver and three bronze medals at last week's IAAF World Under 20 Championships in Tampere, Finland, the Jamaica junior team has answered one of the nation's most persistent sporting questions - What will happen in the post-Bolt era? The response is simple. A Jamaican senior team is coming that could be hugely successful.
Led last week by gold medallists Briana Williams, Damion Thomas and Kai Chang, the team showed prowess in sprinting, hurdling, jumping and throwing. Through Thomas, Jamaica won the 110-metre -hurdles for the first time. Similarly, the long jump bronze garnered by Wayne Pinnock was Jamaica's first in the horizontal jumps since the World Under-20 Championships began in 1986.
One can't help but wonder how many medals Jamaica would have won if the team had been at full strength. Missing were injured sprinters Kevona Davis, Michae Harriot and Sashieka Steele and ailing ace discus thrower Roje Stona. It boggles the mind.
The Davis factor
A fit Davis could have doubled the haul in the girls' sprints given her ISSA/GraceKennedy Boys and Girls Athletics Championships Class Two double winning times of 11.16 and 22.72 seconds. 18-year-old Harriot, the 2017 Carifta 200m champion, and the speedy 17-year-old Steele would have guaranteed advancement in the 4x100 metre relay, with Williams and Davis, both 16, to lift the clutch in the final. With a 100 per cent team on duty, the world junior record of 43.27 seconds might not have been safe.
Stona's personal best of 66.41 metres was the longest in the world for 2017 last year and he has rarely lost in two seasons.
Add the reported hamstring strain endured by national junior double sprint champion Michael Bentley in Tampere and you see the possibilities.
It's great that they chose Jamaica as British-based Marilyn Neufville did in 1970, when she set a world record to win the Commonwealth Games 400 metres. Their Tampere triumphs are bound to encourage others to seek to wear black-green-and-gold.
The results of the IAAF World Under 20 Championships and the Commonwealth Games, where US-bred Aisha Praught won the steeplechase, are clear signs of a bright future.
Nothing is guaranteed but like England, the 2018 World Under 17 and World Under 20 champions in football, Jamaica can look ahead with optimism. Surely, it is better to have a strong hand than no hand at all.
- Hubert Lawrence has made notes at trackside since 1980.
