Friends of Animals Utah seeks golfers for fundraiser
Mike Henderson, known as the director of World Cup events for the United States Ski and Snowboard Association, wears another hat.
He's also on the board of directors for Friends of Animals Utah (FOA), a nonprofit organization that protects and rescues animals, as well as fostering awareness of animals' roles in people's lives.
One of Henderson's roles is to come up with ideas for fundraising, because it takes about $1 million to run FOA for one year.
"We don't just run the rehabilitation ranch in Browns Canyon and the Furburbia adoption center," Henderson said during an interview with The Park Record. "We also are involved in numerous projects including our education and outreach programs, kids summer camps and the Purple Paw Project."
That project helps people who are in domestic violence situations take care of their pets.
"Up to 50 percent of victims in abusive situations won't leave because they don't want to leave their animals behind," Henderson said. "They won't leave because they don't want to leave the animal with the person who is the abuser.
"So, the Purple Paw Project allows Friends of Animals Utah to offer safe haven to the animal until the victim can figure out their legal and relationship situation," he said. "We will take that animal free of charge and look after it by making sure it has all its vaccinations, as well as providing it food and water and exercise until the victim is ready to have that animal back in their lives."
One of the fundraisers Henderson came up with is the Fore Paws Golf Marathon that will be held June 15, at the Homestead Golf Course, and he is currently seeking participants who will agree to play 100 holes of golf that day.
"The Fore Paws event is very different from a traditional golf tournament fundraiser where you rent a golf course for a day and fill as many tee times up with people as you can," Henderson said.
In a regular fundraiser, people will pay $200 to $400, which is the donation to the charity and they play the round of golf and get a big dinner, cocktails and nice prizes, he said.
"In my experience, these types of events are fun, but you don't make very much money, because a lot of the money paid by people to enter the fundraiser usually goes to pay for the cost of the event," Henderson said. "Our concept of the golf fundraiser, on the other hand, is pure and simple."
The difference, Henderson said, is that he is trying to solicit 25 to 30 people who will become player-participant fundraisers and try to play the 100 holes of golf.
"Between now and June 15, the player-participants will go raise money in the communities through pledges and sponsors," Henderson said. "For example, if you sign up to be a player, you will then go into your own personal community of friends and family and tell them that you're going to play 100 holes of golf for Friends of Animal Utah."
Player-participants can raise money by the hole or they can solicit lump sums from their donors.
"For example, if someone gives a total of $50, that's great," Henderson said. "But other people can say, I'll pay $1 a hole. It doesn't matter, because at the end of the day, the people who pledge or sponsor you will get a tax-deductible receipt they can show to the tax man."
Another difference between the Fore Paws Golf Fundraiser and other golf tournaments is the size of the participant-players groups.
"We are looking at having two people on a hole at once," Henderson said. "We don't want too many players because there will be too many balls flying all over the place."
Also, there are a lot of rules and regulations that keep the event exciting and fun, he said.
"For example, you never look for a lost ball," Henderson explained. "If you hit one out of bounds and can't find it, you drop another one immediately.
"In addition, if you're three over par, you pick up the ball and go to the next hole," he said. "So, what you're playing is what we call speed golf."
Of course, it will be hard work for the participants in the summer sun.
"They'll play all day long, but we will make sure we hydrate and take care of the players," Henderson said. "We will provide food and sunscreen, because they are using up a lot of energy.
"We'll give them hot breakfast, a box lunch and lots of liquids, including a couple of cocktails at the end of the day," he said. "We ask that the participant arrive at the golf course before sunrise. After breakfast the participants will break off into partners and then assigned a specific starting hole."
Each golfer will be provided a cart and driver for the day, Henderson said.
"If golf isn't your game, but you want to participate, you can come out and volunteer," he said. "We need cart drivers and people to help with serving food to the participant fundraisers, but we will also ask the volunteer fundraisers to solicit some donations from their families and friends.
"This way, we'll have a two groups raising funds for the event, which will benefit Friends of Animals Utah," Henderson said. "And if businesses want to sponsor a hole, we'll make sure their logos are on display."
Once the fundraiser wraps up around 5 p.m., Henderson said anyone can come play a round of nine holes for free.
"We've got the course for the whole day, and if anyone wants to come and play, they can," he said. "They don't have to pay, but if they want to donate for a game, we won't stop them."
In fact, Henderson won't stop anyone from giving funds to FOA.
"If people want to donate, but can't participate, they can donate through our website, http://www.foautah.org ," he said.
Friends of Animals Utah will host its Fore Paws Golf Fundraiser n Saturday, June 15, at Homestead Golf Club, 700 N. Homestead Dr. in Midway. To become a participant player or volunteer, call Mike Henderson at (435) 640-8540 or email him at email@example.com.

Researching Facebook business: What organizations need to know about social media relationships
Establishing and maintaining relationships online is becoming ever more important in the expanding global knowledge economy. But what happens to the relationship between business and consumer when a user "unfriends"? Writing in the International Journal of the Business Environment, Christopher Sibona and Steven Walczak of The Business School, at the University of Colorado Denver, USA, have found that there are many online and offline reasons why a person might "unfriend" another party.
The team has examined these factors and offer insights into how virtual business relationships might be sustained and promoted. They point out how transient online relationships can be, how easy they are to terminate and in most contexts do not carry the social ramifications of the end of an offline relationship. As such, it is, they suggest, important for organizations that use online social networking to learn how to reduce attrition, loss of "friends" or "followers" and also to consider how employees might be frustrated by the volatile nature of online relationships.
Facebook remains a significant player in the online social media network with much research focused on this system. Despite the occasional proclamation of the death of Facebook, there remain more than one billion or so users across the globe and a large proportion of them are highly active on the site and on mobile. Recent media attention claiming that young users were abandoning the site in droves proved flawed when a typographical error in the original research paper was revealed!
The use of Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms while initially seen by the corporate world as an annoyance, and then an extension of traditional marketing has now evolved for many, into a real-time and highly engaged approach to customer relationship management. Some companies, not-for-profits, and other organizations have recognized its potential and adapted to it more eagerly and more efficiently than others. Many have tried to game the system or exploit it purely for their own ends with no respect for the consumers or the community as a whole only to be forced to make embarrassing apologies when they are shown the error of their ways.
"In addition to providing increased consumer satisfaction, social networking sites have the potential to also enhance intra- and inter-organizational knowledge sharing (especially with the growing presence of dynamic and geographically separated teams) and serve as an expertise locater within the organization," the team explains. Moreover, it is important for organizations to recognize that the digital natives that are their new and future employees expect social networking and social media to be a significant part of their employment and expect to have access as part of their job.
The team has factored politics, religion, sex, bigotry, use of expletives, misdeeds, loss of trust, personality, incompatibilities, promotions, breakdown of offline relationships and many others as reasons for unfriending. They have carried out a statistical analysis of more than 1500 English-speaking individuals surveyed.
They found that there are two broad reasons for unfriending: offline and online. The offline reasons follow more traditional bonding social capital influences and are affected by all three friendship issues: interdependence, effort and value. Online reasons are affected by both bonding and bridging social capital relationships, they explain.
They offer several fundamental conclusions as to how business can avoid being unfriended:
Businesses should avoid posting too frequently as this requires more effort on the part of the user and can be perceived as unacceptable behavior. They should ensure they are committed to relationships at the individual user level to make the social ties stronger. They should also generally avoid controversial and taboo subjects as these often polarize followers. In terms of employees, management should ensure their staff have separate business and personal accounts and keep the two fairly separate. Management and staff need to adhere to predetermined policies.

Australian bishop testifies on prevalence of child sex abuse in the church
Australian bishop testifies on prevalence of child sex abuse in the church
Dying of cancer, Bishop Emeritus Geoffrey Robinson appeared Aug. 24 before the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse to testify to the prevalence of child sexual abuse in the church.
He painted a sad picture of a brave and lonely Sisyphus with his band of bishops in tow, pushing a boulder with a reasoned response to the crisis up the Vatican Hill, only to have it pushed back by popes and cardinals who had no idea about the issue and a blindness about the incapacity of canon law to deal with it.
"However great the faults of the Australian bishops have been over the last 30 years, it still remains true that the major obstacle to a better response from the church has been the Vatican," Robinson told the commission. Most of the Roman Curia saw the problem as a "moral one: if a priest offends, he should repent; if he repents, he should be forgiven and restored to his position. … They basically saw the sin as a sexual one, and did not show great understanding of the abuse of power involved or the harm done to the victims."
Robinson entered the seminary at 12-years-old, was ordained a priest, and became a canon lawyer and then auxiliary bishop of Sydney. In 1996, when revelations of clergy sexual abuse of children in Australia had reached a crescendo, the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference appointed him to find a solution. In 2004, he resigned as auxiliary bishop of Sydney after concluding that the church's response was still inadequate.
"I eventually came to the point where I felt that, with the thoughts that were running through my head, I could not continue to be a bishop of a church about which I had such profound reservations," Robinson wrote in a 2008 book Confronting Power and Sex in the Catholic Church. "I resigned my office as Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney and began to write this book, about the very foundations of power and sex within the church."
He wrote books and went on lecture tours, calling for radical reforms within the church, and in the process lost and gained many friends.
He quickly came to the conclusion after his appointment by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference to draw up a protocol to deal with child sexual abuse in 1996, that canon law was so inadequate for cases of sexual abuse that it would be a sham to use it. "We would have to invent something of our own," he told the Royal Commission.
Prior to 1983, when he was consulted by the Vatican about a new draft of the Code of Canon Law, he found the words "pontifical secret" stamped over the document. He complained that if he were to give a reasoned response, he needed to discuss it with colleagues. He was told: "Just don't give it to the media."
In 1996, Robinson devised a protocol called "Towards Healing," a system that was "outside, and indeed contrary to canon law." In the first draft, he required these crimes to be reported to the police as the police were not the media. Pope Paul VI's instruction, Secreta Continere of 1974, imposes the pontifical secret over allegations of clergy sexual abuse of children and contains no exception for reporting to the police. The barrage of statements by senior Curia figures from 1984 to 2002 made it abundantly clear that bishops should not report these allegations to the police.
But that was not the only conflict that "Towards Healing" had with canon law. It had its own system of investigation, and clergy could be placed on permanent "administrative leave." None of this complied with canon law.
In his perceptive notes of the meeting in the Vatican in April 2000 to discuss child sexual abuse, Robinson wrote that the members of the Roman Curia showed an "an overriding concern to preserve the legal structures already in place in the Church and not to make exceptions to them unless this was absolutely necessary."
He told the Commission how Italian Archbishop Mario Pompedda told the delegates how they might get around canon law, but he did not want a law that he had to get around. He wanted one he could follow, but "they never came up with it." Robinson came away from that meeting knowing that the Australian bishops had no choice but to continue to go it alone, irrespective of what the fall out might be.
The extent to which he and the other Australian bishops were prepared to do that is starkly illustrated in the minutes of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference of Nov. 28, 2002, where they resolved to disobey Pope John Paul II's 2001 Motu Proprio, Sacramentorum Sanctitatis Tutela, which required all complaints of child sexual abuse to be referred to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith which would then instruct the bishop what to do. They would only refer those cases where there was no admission by the priest that the abuse had occurred. Robinson told the Commission that the purpose behind that was to avoid being told by Rome what to do with those priests who admitted the abuse. That decision was well justified given the figures presented to the United Nations by the Vatican that only one third of priests against whom credible allegations of child sexual abuse had been made, have been dismissed. The claim that the Vatican has a policy of zero tolerance is pure spin.
This defiance of canon law was never going to last. Patrick Parkinson, professor of law at Sydney University, appointed by the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference to review "Towards Healing," pointed out the problems of a local protocol that conflicted with canon law: priests permanently removed from the ministry simply appealed to Rome which ordered their reinstatement. The bishop had to comply or be sacked. Robinson told the Commission that "Towards Healing" was initially successful because a number of priests accepted that they could not continue to work as a priest, but "it later fell down because both sides changed." Priests started to defend themselves with canon lawyers, and the victims went to civil lawyers.
Robinson was very critical of Pope John Paul II for a lack of leadership on this issue, and particularly his imposition in 1983 of a five-year limitation period that effectively meant that there could be no prosecution of priest paedophiles under canon law because their crimes had been "extinguished." Prior to 1983, there was no limitation period for these crimes. After 1983, if a child was abused at the age of 7, and did not complain by the age of 12, there was no possibility of dismissing the priest under canon law.
Figures presented to the Commission indicate that in Australia, the limitation period meant that only 3 percent of accused priests could be dismissed, and that figure only increased to 19 percent with the extension of the period to 10 years from the 18th birthday of the victim in 2001. Robinson said the church has still not had the appropriate leadership on child sexual abuse from Pope Benedict XVI and not even from Pope Francis.
Robinson also criticized Australian Cardinal George Pell for refusing to join the other Australian bishops in adopting the "Towards Healing" protocol. Pell was party to the two-year consultations leading up to its adoption in November 1996, but, without reference to anyone, announced he was setting up his own system, the "Melbourne Response," and then claimed he was the first in Australia to do something about clergy sexual abuse. Apart from accusing Pell of destroying a unified response from the Australian bishops, Robinson said he was an "ineffective bishop" for having lost the support of the majority of his priests who wished for him to be transferred somewhere else. Their wish was fulfilled. He is now in charge of the Vatican finances.
A reading of the many documents tendered to the Royal Commission provides even more evidence that the Vatican's all but useless disciplinary system caused far more children to be abused than would otherwise have occurred. Robinson fought the good fight, but was ultimately defeated and resigned, exhausted.
In the end, the Australian bishops abandoned the courage they displayed under his leadership, and followed the lead of Pope Benedict XVI who, in his 2010 Pastoral Letter to the Catholics of Ireland, ignored the Murphy Commission's criticisms of canon law, and blamed the Irish bishops for failing to follow it. In submissions to the Victorian Parliamentary Inquiry and to the Royal Commission, the Australian bishops ignored what they knew of canon law's failings, and blamed their predecessors for making "terrible mistakes" when their predecessors were demonstrably complying with canon law.
Australia has a peculiar cultural habit of creating heroes who struggle in vain, and are defeated — from the bushranger, Ned Kelly to the soldiers who were massacred at Gallipoli in the First World War. The Catholic church needs some heroes. Robinson, now terminally ill, is one of them.

by Bernard K. Means, project director, Virtual Curation Laboratory
I chose to spend my Day of Archaeology at George Washington's Boyhood Home, located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Archaeologists working here have uncovered traces of human occupation dating back thousands of years, but understandably have been focused on the period associated with George Washington's tenancy. George moved here at the age of 6 with his mother Mary, his father Augustine, and several family members. A team of archaeologists is working this year–as they have in past years–seeking to broaden our understanding of George Washington's childhood–a rather poorly documented time period.
My goal today is to use my NextEngine scanner and create digital models of archaeological objects recovered at Ferry Farm, including items recovered this year by Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) students as part of their recently completed field school, as well as objects recovered in past years from contexts definitely associated with the Washington family occupation. These objects are categorized as "small finds" or unique objects that might be lost in traditional archaeological mass data analyses. For a recent article on small finds at Ferry Farm, and how they can broaden our understanding of the Washington family's personal and social worlds, I recommend Ferry Farm archaeologist Laura Galke's (2009) article "The Mother of the Father of Our Country: Mary Ball Washington's Genteel Domestic Habits" Northeast Historical Archaeology 38:29-48. I began the day by scanning a pewter spoon handle with the initials "BW"–representing George Washington's sister, Betty. This spoon and its significance for socializing Betty in gentry-class society is discussed by Galke (2009).
The spoon actually proved more challenging than expected because it is thin, dark, and the design is shallow. But, a little fine powder coating and a long scan seems to have resulted in a nice digital model.
The second artifact we scanned is a lead alloy cloth seal that resembles late 16th century AD examples from France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands. We also scanned a Civil War Minie ball found by VCU student Ian Salata during this year's field school. An interesting artifact that we scanned was a toy hatchet made of lead dropped by a tourist visiting the place where some claim (erroneously) that George Washington chopped down the cherry tree!!!

NEA closes strong to aid education champions in mid-term elections
Association adds $2 million to independent campaign and unveils new ads
WASHINGTON - October 25, 2010 -
With eight days remaining until Election Day, the National Education Association is stepping up its efforts to elect education champions to the 112th Congress. The Association has increased its independent expenditure campaign from $15 million to $17 million and is unveiling several new ads in key federal races that draw clear distinctions between pro-public education candidates and their opponents. The ads hit the opponents hard on a variety of topics including education, jobs and the economy, the illegal drug epidemic, and Wall Street greed.
The following statement can be attributed to NEA Campaigns and Elections Manager Lynne Garramone-Mason:
"It is getting down to the wire and the stakes could not be higher. NEA is letting voters know that our education champions will not only make good decisions about what's best for public education but also the issues that touch families and communities across the country—jobs, the economy, strengthening the middle class, and protecting Social Security. Research shows educators are respected and valued community members; it's our responsibility to let voters know the candidates we believe will be strong advocates for quality public education and working families."
Ad Scripts
Colorado Senate Race Ad: Narrator: Extreme. Far right. Out of touch. He's been called a lot of things – but the facts about Ken Buck speak for themselves. On Social Security, Ken Buck supports a plan to privatize it. Buck would put our Social Security in the hands of the same Wall Street raiders whose schemes threw the economy into a tailspin. On student loans … Ken Buck would end federal student loan programs. If Buck has his way, college will be out of reach for many middle-class families. And on taxes, Ken Buck backs a radical plan to create a new 23 percent sales tax. Buck's plan would end the home mortgage deduction and increase taxes on the middle-class – while eliminating taxes on corporations. Ken Buck. Whatever word you use, he's just too extreme for Colorado.
Kentucky Senate Race Ad: Narrator: Here's Rand Paul. Rand Paul: "Things that are non-violent shouldn't be against the law." Narrator: Like other Libertarians he says drug laws are too harsh and Rand Paul says drugs are quote—not a pressing issue here in Kentucky. Not pressing? Drugs—especially Meth—are an epidemic in Kentucky. Lives, families, and whole communities destroyed every day. Rand Paul: "Things that are non-violent shouldn't be against the law."
Washington State Senate Race Ad: Narrator: What is it with Dino Rossi and lobbyists? Lobbyists helped him buy an apartment building. Then those same lobbyists helped him buy a bank, which was later cited by regulators for engaging in—quote—unsafe banking practices. Now Dino's got a new group of lobbyist pals in Washington, D.C. They're hosting his fundraisers and financing his campaign. There's an old saying Dino. You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
Pennsylvania Senate Race Ad: Voice over: "The point is ladies and gentlemen that greed for lack of a better term is good..good..good (echo effect)" Narrator: First there was Gordon Geko, who defined a generation of greed. Now, Congressman Pat Toomey takes greed to a whole new level. In Congress, Toomey voted to loosen regulations on Wall Street banks leading to the collapse of the financial and housing markets. Voiceover: "Greed is good." Narrator: Yet Toomey still supports a risky scheme to turn Social Security over to Wall Street speculators, gambling our retirement in the stock market. Voiceover: "Greed is good." Narrator: Toomey thinks Wall Street bankers should keep the bonuses they gave themselves after getting bailed out by Washington but voted against a combat bonus for our troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan. Voiceover: "Greed is good." Narrator: On November 2nd, at polling locations across Pennsylvania, send a message to Wall Street. Say no to Pat Toomey.
Illinois 17th Congressional District Ad: Narrator: 150,000. That's how many Illinois jobs have been lost to unfair trade deals. But Bobby Schilling supports a new free trade deal with Korea. And Schilling says he'd support even more free trade deals. Schilling actually signed a pledge to support tax breaks for corporations that ship American job overseas. Lost jobs for Illinois. Tax breaks for corporations that outsource. Illinois can't afford Bobby Shilling.
New York 1st Congressional District Ad: Narrator: What do we really know about Randy Altschuler? We know Altschuler is running for Congress on a platform of creating jobs, but where does he want to create these jobs? We know his company has sent thousands of American jobs to foreign countries. And according to Time Magazine, Altschuler is a leader of "an industry devoted to making outsourcing happen" Now we find out Altschuler signed the Americans for Tax Reform pledge because it supports tax breaks for outsourcing. What will that mean for New York? If Altschuler is elected to congress, that will be one more vote to protect tax breaks for companies who ship jobs overseas. That's one more Republican vote against New York's middle class families. Randy Altschuler – wrong on jobs and wrong for New York.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
John Fuller, the chain's chief executive, says the new owners want to expand the chain and find ways to help it cut costs.
Johnny Rockets, founded in 1986, currently has about 300 restaurants in 30 states and 16 countries.
Sun Capital's portfolio includes Captain D's, Fazoli's and Boston Market.

Haven't been able to find the answer to this by searching. Can anyone help me out with this?

Anthony Borden IWPR Executive Director
6 April 2020
The Covid-19 pandemic is a global crisis of health and the economy – and of information. Rumour and misinformation, fake news and propaganda, spread even more quickly than the virus itself, undermining health strategies, sowing confusion, costing lives.
Amid the tragedy, the need for factual and fair reporting is more important than ever. Citizens need to be informed, officials need to be questioned, human stories need to be told.
While the international focus for now may be on the United States and the European Union, the varying responses – and the enormous risk – in the rest of the world are no less urgent. If ever the world faced one problem together, this – along with climate change – is it.
Local voices of independent media and civic groups around the world are therefore absolutely essential, but they face fresh and sharp challenges. How will the virus impact conflict zones, and especially those at particular risk such as refugees – and how can these issues be safely reported? How can reporting and engagement continue under social distancing and lockdown? What are the specific information and approaches essential to urgent health and public policy reporting? Will repressive regimes exploit the pandemic to crack down further on freedom of expression?
Rumour and misinformation, fake news and propaganda, spread even more quickly than the virus itself, undermining health strategies, sowing confusion, costing lives.
At IWPR, we have had to shutter our ten coordinating offices, and are working virtually. Yet our team of 150 around the world, and our dozens of partner organisations, continue to support vital local partners, independent media and forthright civic activists as they continue their efforts and in many cases pivot to cover the pandemic.
Through a series of research initiatives, IWPR is coordinating an international network of institutes, universities and other partners to monitor disinformation around the world and analyse trends and impacts around messaging on Covid-19.
Across Asia, we are working with a range of groups and individuals to strengthen community responses to news manipulation around the virus, and are supporting journalists and other opinion formers to investigate and report to regional audiences on the crisis and governmental responses.
Spanning the broad Southeast Europe and Eurasia region, we are assessing and comparing public health strategies, highlighting human impacts and holding governments to account for their emergency responses. (Armenia: Can Government Popularity Weather Covid-19?) We are tracking the impact of Russian disinformation in fuelling panic and seeding public distrust in national governments (Georgia: Is Russia Exploiting Coronavirus Fears?) or how the virus is impacting complex regional economic and social ties (Coronavirus Tests Central Asia's Strength).
In former conflict areas, we have even found good news, with former political foes in the ethnically riven state of Bosnia and Herzegovina finally uniting for the common good (Bosnia: Coronavirus Forces Rare Moment of Unity).
In the Middle East and North Africa region, independent voices are also finding common purposes with official efforts. (Coronavirus Cannot Kill Our Spirit). In Iraq, IWPR's longstanding network of journalists and leading opinion formers have dedicated themselves to supporting public health efforts. Indeed, in several countries in the region, civic activists are now cooperating with governments that only weeks ago were trying to supress their protests. (Iraqi Champions Fight Coronavirus Crisis).
In some Latin American countries, heads of state have been using their propaganda machines to spread disinformation about how individuals should tackle the virus, as well as their government's response. IWPR is supporting a coalition of independent media outlets in Latin America to coordinate coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic to ensure people get the most up-to-date and accurate information possible – including providing fact-checked information on infection levels and republishing key stories to ensure they reach as wide an audience as possible.
We've also partnered with a group of 15 social media influencers with broad youth appeal in their respective countries to develop online campaigns to ensure young people are also informed about how to best face the pandemic.
The suspension, for now, of in-person meetings is a loss. Only a few weeks ago, I participated in a remarkable seminar IWPR hosted in Cyprus for journalists and activists from across the Middle East, sharing experiences, providing training and information, extending support networks. As I was reminded first-hand, such personal connections are so powerful.
Like educational institutions worldwide, however, IWPR is working via video conferencing, online platforms and other dedicated technologies, sharing vital resources, monitoring health and safety, supporting those ill or otherwise affected and continuing intensive training, mentoring and content production. We have not, and will not, go away.
Part of the "exit strategy" from lockdowns and from the crisis as a whole must be free and fair information to empower and involve the global public – for now, and for the future, helping courageous local voices to drive change in their communities wherever they are.
The future will bring a new normal that cannot yet be confidently described. But with nearly three decades' experience in dangerous environments, IWPR teams at the frontlines will stay the course, innovating creative and often courageous solutions to support independent local voices in challenging environments around the world.
It is truly one world now, and all our futures depend on it.

Apples for the Students
Through Farm to School programs and creative thinking, education support professionals contribute to student health and learning.
There were no apples in the trash after the eighth-grade lunch period yesterday at the John F. Kennedy Middle School in Northampton, Massachusetts.
That's one sign of the successful efforts of education support professionals (ESPs) and everyone else at the school to hook students on healthy eating.
The eighth graders tossed in some uneaten rice and assorted packaging, but no apples.
Another sign of success: the students said they loved them. (They really liked the chicken cutlets, too.)
NEA President Dennis Van Roekel visited the school yesterday to celebrate the work of education support professionals during American Education Week. Massachusetts Teachers Association (MTA) President Paul Toner and Undersecretary Kevin Concannon of the U.S. Department of Agriculture accompanied Van Roekel and all three served lunches to the students.
The apples at the Northampton school are locally grown, which is a priority for the MTA Farm To School initiative headed by Donna Johnson. Johnson is also president of the 1,000-member ESP local at the nearby University of Massachusetts Amherst campus.
The Farm To School Initiative helps get local farmers together with school food service officials to put fresh fruit and vegetables on the plates of students across the state. Sharon Carlson, president of the Northampton Association of School Employees, said fresh food can cost more and sometimes takes longer to prepare. But the benefits of feeding students more nutritious food and establishing healthy eating habits far outweigh the problems, she said.
Johnson said learning about food is part of educating the whole child. "Education isn't just about numbers and being able to spell. It's also knowing that those apples didn't come from the grocery store, they came from the local orchard."
And there are many other lessons to learn from food, she said. Educators in Washington State worked with students to start a garden that produced 50 pounds of carrots. They gave, half to the school food service and the other half to a local soup kitchen. "That teaches children about food, about being generous, and about the fact that some people don't have it as good as they do," Carlson said.
"I'd like to send each child home with a plant, maybe a tomato plant, at the end of the year to grow over the summer and see what that's like, she added. "When they grow something and eat it, that's the greatest thing in the world."
She said many schools can't prepare fresh food because they have no kitchens, so they rely on processed food. But that food is often not as nutritious. "In some areas, the school lunch is the best meal the student is going to have all day long," she said.
Her group has found many outside partners to help get the work done. In a few schools, they've started gardens where students grow some of their food, and parents get involved to keep the garden going in the summer.
In Haverhill, an Eagle Scout built ramps for disabled students as a Boy Scout project. "Now the wheel chairs roll right up to the beds. For one student, it was the first time he had ever gotten his hands in the earth. The look on his face was amazing," Johnson said.
In the town of Amherst, ESPs helped start a "fruit of the month" program. This month, there are bags of apples on teachers' desks – not for the teachers but for students to eat when they are hungry.
Support professionals were key in all of these projects, she said.
Roxanne Dove, director of the NEA ESP Quality Department, who also took part in the visit, said ESPs are especially key to local nutrition efforts because three-quarters of them – and 84 percent of food service employees – live in the community where they work.
NEA has so far provided $75,000 for the MTA's Farm To School program. Some of it will be distributed as mini-grants to locals that want to start their own projects.
Van Roekel said that in this age of testing, people "are always asking about academic health and forgetting the rest. We also need physical health and mental and emotional health – and healthy eating."
JFK Middle School cafeteria manager and head cook Pat Judge, who is the union's cafeteria chapter coordinator, said the lunch menu has shifted toward more healthy offerings and the children are getting used to it. She no longer bakes high-calorie desserts, and she's substituted whole-wheat pasta for white pasta, for example. Children now have three menu choices instead of just one. They can also choose a salad for lunch.
Nobody chose a salad yesterday. But they did love those apples!
American Education Week presents all Americans with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate public education and honor individuals who are making a difference in ensuring that every child receives a quality education.

Nevada Republicans support state-issued drivers licenses
Nevada News Bureau
Nevada's state Senate Republican leadership on Friday expressed support for a state policy that makes thousands of young immigrants living in Nevada eligible for a state-issued driver's license or ID.
The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, with the support of Gov. Brian Sandoval, announced this week that its policy would be to honor the employment authorization card granted to successful applicants under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Deferred Action program.
Senate Minority Leader Michael Roberson, R-Henderson, said he supports the DMV policy and hopes those eligible will take advantage of this opportunity.
"These young men and women are living, working and attending school here in Nevada, and are doing everything in their power to improve their lives and the lives of their families," Roberson said. "A driver's license from the state of Nevada will aid in their ability to commute to and from work and school; will afford a sense of self-sufficiency; and will provide greater opportunities for thousands of Nevada families."
Deferred Action, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a directive from the secretary of the DHS that grants temporary permission to stay in the U.S. to certain undocumented young people. Individuals who receive deferred action may apply for and obtain employment authorization. It is estimated that more than 20,000 young immigrants could benefit from this program in Nevada.
Sen. Ben Kieckhefer, R-Reno, also applauded the policy: "This DMV policy allowing young immigrants living in our communities to obtain driver's licenses will benefit not only the young people and families eligible for deferred action, but will also help strengthen Nevada's education system and our economy at large."
Sen. Joe Hardy, R-Boulder City, commented on the safety aspects of the policy: "In order to secure a driver's license, an individual must obtain the proper knowledge and skill level to pass a test to ensure they can safely drive on the streets. This policy will not only provide greater opportunity for so many young people in Nevada, it will also make our streets safer by ensuring training for those who may otherwise be driving without a license or adequate preparation."
The Las Vegas Sun reported the drivers' license policy earlier this week.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano on June 15 announced that effective immediately, certain young people who were brought to the United States as young children, do not present a risk to national security or public safety, and meet several key criteria, would be considered for relief from removal from the country or from entering into removal proceedings.
Napolitano said the deferred action program will offer the young immigrants two-year work permits and not deport them as a temporary measure until the country's immigration policies could be changed with the adoption of the DREAM Act.

John Wesley's Explanatory Noteson the Whole Bible
Chapter Overview
Verse 1Wisdom - It is a great question what this wisdom is. Some understand it of the Divine wisdom; others of the second person in the Godhead: and it cannot be denied that some passages best agree to the former, and others to the latter opinion. Possibly both may be joined together, and the chapter may be understood of Christ considered partly in his personal capacity, and partly in regard of his office, which was to impart the mind and will of God to mankind.
Verse 2High place - Where she may be best seen and heard. Paths - Where many paths meet, where there is a great concourse, and where travellers may need direction.
Verse 3Gates - The places of judgment, and of the confluence of people. The entry - To invite passengers at their first coming and to conduct them to her house. The doors - Of her house.
Verse 4O men - To all men without exception.
Verse 5Ye simple - Who want knowledge, and experience. Fools - Wilful sinners.
Verse 9To him - Whose mind God hath enlightened. To them - That are truly wise.
Verse 10And not silver - Rather than silver.
Verse 12I dwell - My inseparable companion is prudence to govern all my actions, and to direct the actions of others. Find out - I help men to find out. Inventions - Of all ingenious contrivances for the glory of God, and for the good of men.
Verse 14Wisdom - All solid and substantial and useful wisdom is assential to me.
Verse 15By me - They rule their kingdoms wisely and justly, by my counsel and assistance. Their injustice is from themselves, but all the good they do, they owe to my conduct.
Verse 17I love - I do not despise their love, but kindly accept it and recompence it with my love and favour. Early - With sincere affection and diligence, which he mentions as the evidence of their love.
Verse 21Substance - Substantial happiness: opposed to all worldly enjoyments, which are but mere shadows.
Verse 22Possessed me - As his son by eternal generation, before the beginning. Of old - His works of creation.
Verse 23Set up - Heb. anointed, constituted to be the person by whom the Father resolved to do all his works, to create, to uphold and govern and judge, to redeem and save the world. From the beginning - Before which, there was nothing but a vast eternity. The earth - Which together with the heaven, was the first of God's visible works.
Verse 24No depths - No abyss or deep waters. Brought forth - Begotten of my father.
Verse 26The earth - The dry land called earth after it was separated from the waters Genesis 1:10. Fields - The plain and open parts of the earth distinguished from the mountains. Dust - Of this lower part of the world which consists of dust.
Verse 27I was there - As co-worker with my Father. Depth - Of that great abyss of water and earth mixed together, which is called both earth and water and the deep, Genesis 1:2, when he made this lower world in the form of a globe.
Verse 28Strengthened - When he shut up the fountains in the cavities of the earth, and kept them there as it were by a strong band. The deep - Which have their original from the deep, either from the sea, or from the abyss of waters in the bowels of the earth.
Verse 31My delights were - To uphold them by my power and providence, to reveal myself and my Father's will to them from age to age, to assume their nature, and to redeem and save them.
Verse 34Waiting - As servants or clients, wait at the doors of princes or persons of eminency.

Animaniacs Propaganda Logo
"Which one's the cute one?"
"They're pretty naughty..."
AniManiacs is a reality show cleverly disguised as a comedy in a plot by North Korea to warp kids' minds while they attack the "American piss-ants, (Secretly google's idea)" that aired on Fox for 2 seasons and then moved to Kids WB, leaving Fox Kids to rot in the pits of hell. They were vice president on September 21, 1999, but fired because Dot went to the bathroom. They died on JetBlue 2000 on September 13th, 2000, which lost both engines and crashed into the sea (unfortunately for the world Yako,Wako, and Dot Survived and still reek havoc on the world).
Basically, this show is about these 3...things...that run around the Warner movie lot, they lock us in the tower whenever we get caught, but we...aw, shit, I broke into song again.
[[|left|thumb|Dot Warner, working as a prostitute on the street.]]
- Yako Warner is an attention seeking whore and the ringleader of the terrorist plot, where he acts as a spy for the gang. He is the biggest, the oldest, the most evil, and he gets more lines. Worship him. Oh, and have I mentioned that he NEVER SHUTS UP??? I'm pretty sure I did. He is also responsible for the oklahoma city bombing but he framed some guy in order to get away with it, He also conspired with the al-Qaeda to destroy the twin towers and they succeeded (obviously it was on the news).
- Wako Warner: Baton Rouge Louisiana Indianapolis Indiana and Columbus is the capital of Ohio...oh, hi Admin, nice to see you here...hey, where are you throwing meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.....................
in other words his name says all.
- Dot Warner: She's cute. 'Nuff said.
Obscure Characters[edit]
- Pinky and the Brain: Pinky, contrary to popular belief, is actually a left middle finger obsessed with worshipping Zort and doing "different things" in bed with Brain. Brain, on the other hand, is a spoiled brat who keeps wanting more and more, which is why he wants to take over the world. Rumors persist they are really Captain Selfish's lab mice.
- Chicken Boo: Got fired from his job as mascot of the "Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens" for his relationship with the football team's head cheerleader, (which only lasted 42 minutes) he found work on Animaniacs. Brought along in the shitty episodes that need a last-minute laugh.
- Dr. ScratchenSniff: When the p-sychiatrist from Burbank, California met the Warners, he went crazy and was thrown in Commander Riker's Looney Bin in Homely Hills, where he was fed nothing but carrots for 5 months. After the Warners maxed out his credit card, he committed suicide by forcing himself to watch 7 hours of Tony Danza.
- Slappy Squirrel, aka Death Lives is an old coot who used to star in Looney Tunes shorts in the 1960s. She is believed by cartoon fans to be the most infamous and obscure Looney Tune EVAR. Her films, which made absolutely no sense, were locked away in the studio vault never to be released. As for Slappy herself, she was locked away in the treehouse, also never to be released. Unfortantly, she got out... RUN!
- Minerva Mink is...correction, WAS the show's sex symbol. Her uber-hotness caused all types of men to get boners just be looking at her, even gay men. That is, until she married Andy Dick, and bore his three children, Sally, Jenny, and Andy Jr., gained fifty pounds, and lost her hotness. Currently, she is the most miserable of them all.

Greenbrier, Call (844) 898-8900
Home Security in Greenbrier, Arkansas
According to jsu.edu, each year there are over 2.2 million burglaries in the US, which means that every 15 seconds, a burglary is committed
Your Chances of Becoming a Victim of a Burglary in Greenbrier, AR
No one likes thinking about potentially becoming a victim of crime in Arkansas, but every single day in the US a break-in happens every 4 seconds. It's easy to say "it won't happen to me" but 2.2 million families fall victim of burglaries each year in the US. Don't let your home in Greenbrier become part of those statistics. Installing a new home security system and along with monitoring from ADT your home could be protected and your family safer.
Homeowners Insurance
Did you know that ADT Home Security monitoring is so effective that many homeowners insurance providers offer discounts to policyholders with their security systems. By having an ADT-monitored security system installed in your home, you may be able to save on your homeowners insurance premiums. That's money back in your wallet!
24 Hours a day monitoring
ADT monitoring is a leader in monitored home security, but it also offers important services such as Emergency Alert Monitoring, Flood Monitoring, and Fire and Smoke Monitoring.
ADT 6-Month Money Back Guarantee
ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Arkansas Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Arkansas residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Tip: Moving in checklist
Moving has proven to be one of the most stressful experiences that a person can go through, regardless of destination. Whether you're moving across the continent or just down the block, there are lots of stressful decisions to make and physical challenges.
Because your mind is cluttered with these stressors and the various details that go along with moving, one very important thing can often go ignored—the state of security in your new home. So before you dive into decorating, consider the following moving checklist steps to a safe and happy house.
- Change the Locks
You never know who lived in your property before you moved in. Do yourself a favor and change the locks regardless of the situation.
- Transfer or Invest in a New Security System
There's no better way to make sure your home is secure 24/7 than installing a home security system.
- Burglar-Proof Your House by Adding Video Surveillance and Motion Sensors for Complete Security
Looking to bring a home security system that you have on your old house to your new house? Consider relocation services.
- Install Indoor and Outdoor Lighting
Don't stand out as the "new neighbor" by being the only dim house on the street at night. Keep your family protected by making your house look occupied at all times using light automation.
- Keep Your Outside Area in Excellent Condition
Did you know burglars see the exterior of your property as a bullseye? If your lawn is unkempt or you have large shrubbery—burglars will see that as invitation to break in.
- Have the Old System Checked Out
Is there already a home security system in the house? Make sure you have it properly looked over and reactivated.
- Talk with the Neighbors
Having trusted neighbors can immediately make living in a new place much safer. They may be able to help keep your house look occupied while you're away by simply picking up the newspapers, shoveling your walkway, etc.
- Remind Your Kids to be Cautious
Moving to a new neighborhood means lots of unfamiliar faces for you and your family. Make sure your children are aware that they should never let a stranger into the house, leave the garage door up when they come in, or go exploring too far until you are more familiar with the area.

This evening, I had the opportunity to attend a speech by a man whose work over the past decades enters into my life on a daily basis. The Network for Computational Nanotechnology at Purdue hosted Richard Stallman, the founder of the GNU Project and the Free Software Foundation. Stallman is a well-known and controversial figure, not only because of his technical work, but also (primarily?) because of his idealism and activism. His un-nuanced views and public lack of tact have driven fans of his work away from the FSF. I went into the talk expecting some pot-stirring. I didn't expect to walk out deep in thought.
Stallman opened with a discussion of terminology, drawing a distinction between free (for the purposes of this post, free software means libre, not gratis) and proprietary software. It is an ethical, social, and political distinction, not a technical one. Free software, Stallman argues, is a contribution to society. Proprietary software is morally unjust. Stallman prefers, given the choice between writing proprietary software and doing nothing, that developers do nothing. Even though free software is often available at no cost, encouraging the adoption of free software should be framed as a moral issue, not an economic or practical one. Software as a Service (SaaS) is morally equal to proprietary software in Stallman's view, regardless of the licensing of the software, because users have no control over it.
During the question-and-answer session at the end, this view brought a heated discussion from NCN director Dr. Gerhard Klimeck. NCN runs nanoHUB, which is effectively SaaS for nanotechnology simulation. Stallman seemed to argue that it was a niche and not really important to discuss. He also semi-adroitly dodged the question of how developers can make money with free software, only asserting that it is being done without providing the [mostly student] audience any insights as to how.
Stallman's views are based on his personal morality and seem to be absolute. This is what occupied my thoughts on the walk back to my car. Because I largely agree with Stallman, I've been inclined to see his extremism as an annoying, but useful thing. By being on the edge, he defines the middle. But why should extremism that I happen to generally agree with be more valid than extremism that I disagree with? While extremism does help define the middle ground, it also poisons reasonable discussion. I admire and appreciate his technical accomplishments, but I think he hurts his own ideological cause.
