(Politicker) Mayor Michael Bloomberg went down to Washington D.C. earlier today to advocate for limits to "Stand Your Ground" laws, made famous the recent shooting of Trayvon Martin, which allow looser standards for the use of deadly force. Flanked by representatives of groups like the NAACP and National Urban League, he announced a new initiative to push states, particularly Florida, to reform their self-defense laws.
"These laws are not the kind of laws that a civilized society should have," Mr. Bloomberg said at the event. "This has nothing to do with gun owners' rights, nothing to do with the Second Amendment. Plain and simple, this is just trying to give people a license to murder."

_What's YOUR Mortgage IQ?_
Last week the California Association of REALTORs (CAR) reported that a recent Zillow Mortgage Marketplace survey indicates that home buyers ar ill-prepared to take out a mortgage, answering basic questions about mortgage information incorrectly nearly half (46 percent) of the time. See the following summary and let us know if you would like to contact a lender to increase that "Mortgage IQ"!
* More than 1,000 home buyers were asked to respond true or false to eight mortgage-related statements, including "The rates of 5/1 adjustable-rates mortgages always increase after years." Although the correct answer is false, because 5/1 ARMs do adjust after five years, but the rates could go up or down, 57 percent of people surveyed answered this question incorrectly.
* Forty-five percent of home buyers surveyed also incorrectly stated that home buyers should always buy mortgage discount points.
* An additional one-third of respondents do not understand that lender fees are negotiable and vary by lender.
* Survey respondents also believe that pre-qualifying for a loan means they have secured financing.
* Slightly less than half of the polled prospective home buyers also do not understand that Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are available to all buyers.

A simulated surgical room was on display today at the Pittsburg Community Middle School gym. It's designed for the public and Via Christi employees to get an idea of what the actual $18 million surgical center will look like.
It's an interactive community event to help in the planning of the new surgery center.
"I think that as we're spending the $18 million to build a new surgery center, it's nice for them to see what the future is going to look like and the care that they will be able to have here in their own town," says Brenda Lemmons of Via Christi Hospital.
Lemmons says the technology is uncomparable to what the hospital currently uses. She says it makes the workflow more ergonomic and efficient.

By TRAVIS LOLLERAssociated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) - At its most basic level, the job of child welfare agencies is to keep children alive. Recently, the Tennessee Department of Children's Services has had trouble keeping track of how many children died in its custody.
The disarray in the department's records was 1 of the problems that pushed commissioner Kate O'Day to resign this week. Child advocates wonder whether the agency's administrative troubles could be putting children in jeopardy.
Ira Lustbader is associate director of Children's Rights, which works with independent monitors to keep track of how well DCS cares for foster children. He says DCS has to have a way to track child deaths and investigate them.
Lustbader says he is hoping to work with interim commissioner Jim Henry to get the agency back on track.

Superintendent Addresses Alleged "Superdrunk" Asst. Principal
After a school administrator was charged with driving with a high blood-alcohol level, leading police on a high speed chase, and trying to get out of trouble by invoking the name of the school superintendent, the superintendent has issued a statement.
John Thompson is the athletic director at Parchment High School and a middle school assistant principal. Earlier this month, police say he led a chase where he drove more than 120 miles per hour.
A police report shows Thompson, 41, told police he was with his Superintendent Matt Miller earlier in the night.
Richland Police Officer Bradley Wadell said he saw Thompson's Cadillac speeding and in the wrong lane in the Richland area and when he tried to pull him over, the car sped up.
Police dash cam video shows that the Cadillac eventually stopped in the middle of the road, but the driver wouldn't leave the car. They eventually pulled him out at gunpoint.
After a search warrant, a blood test at Borgess Hospital showed a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit.
Wednesday, it was learned through police reports that Thompson had allegedly tried to use the school superintendent's name multiple times to get out of trouble, saying that he could fix the situation.
In a statement Thursday, Superintendent Matthew Miller said:
"Following news coverage Wednesday concerning Parchment Middle School assistant principal and high school athletic director John Thompson, Parchment School District Superintendent Matthew J. Miller issued the following statement:
"On the night prior to John's arrest, he and I went out to watch the women's national championship basketball game on TV. We ate dinner; we talked; we watched the game. I was talking with others when I was told that John had left. A while later, I checked to see if his car was in the parking lot. It was not, so I got a ride back home from someone else.
"The next morning, I received a call from a reporter who said he had reason to believe a Parchment administrator had been arrested. His information was incorrect, but it was the first inkling I had that something was wrong. Up to that point, I had no reason to believe that John was in any trouble.
"My concern remains with the well-being of John Thompson."
Thompson is facing charges of operating a motor vehicle while being intoxicated, operating a vehicle with a high blood alcohol content, fleeing and eluding police, and having an open intoxicant in a vehicle.
On April 23, Parchment schools placed Thompson on paid administrative leave, pending the judicial process and its outcome.
Miller said he would have no further comment at this time."Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times

EU-Lesotho cooperation aims to support the country's national development plan, and thereby to decrease the incidence of poverty and promote sustainable growth. The EU-Lesotho country Strategy Paper for 2008-2013 funded under the 10th European Development Fund has a total budget of € 139 M.
Funding is allocated to several priority areas. Firstly, the EU is supporting the national development plan, macro-economic stability and improvement of public finance management through general budget support. A second priority area is to support the national water and sanitation strategy through sector budget support. The third priority under human development is used to complement social protection of orphans and vulnerable children through project support under joint management by the European Commission and UNICEF.
In addition to these priority areas, the EU is also supporting capacity building for decentralization and non-state actors.

Science vs God?
I am the Curator of TEDxUCDavis, and I wanted to create a page where people could discuss the talk at my event by Bryan Enderle: Science vs God. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn7YQOzNuSc&list=PLsRNoUx8w3rNNNJZyHiIb3MMhM3QQyiAD&index=10
First and foremost, I wanted to make a disclaimer. The views expressed in this talk do not reflect the views of the broader TED-organization. The selection was made entirely by me and the content was produced entirely by Mr Enderle.
I invited Bryan to speak despite the fact that I am an atheist, and knowing how often I would cringe at these types of talks. In my view what Bryan does differently is merely make a plausibility argument for traits that seem too fantastic to many. He is not arguing for the existence of God. I was once a vindictive atheist who cheered for Richard Dawkins in his debates and despised religious thought. Eventually however, I realized that this debate has been raging for centuries and to simply discount all the brilliant people who had faith would be too simple. There is a debate to be held yes, but it does not need to be so vitriolic and people of both sides can learn from each other.
In this debate section please keep your comments specifically to the points discussed in his talk, and try not to stray to other issues. I think Bryan titled his talk to be deliberately provocative, since it is this false dichotomy between faith and science that he tries to break down in his talk. If we can think how the two philosophies can inform the other, then we can have a productive discussion.

Jun 24 2013: Hi Cory.
I believe Bryan is exactly correct. Science & God can both be real, but humans tend to have their own agendas which tends to put them in one camp or another. IF there really is a God, then Science should help us find Him. It worked for me!
The water is greatly muddied by the plethora of claims for pseudo gods, & science making claims for which there is no real scientific backing. If we can narrow down god to one who is indicated by true scientific endeavour, then we may get somewhere. Materialistic science will never prove God however. One must assume that any True God, in the sense of Creator, would have furnished us with 'God Sensing' equipment built in, so it seems only Faith can make the final step.
Comment deleted
Jun 24 2013: The overwhelming number of candidates for the job are described as males with human characteristics. However modern sensibilities may be uncomfortable with this preconception. As far as the science goes, I agree that the form of god should take should be decided by the evidence.
Whether we should attribute sex to a god is a moot point. Surely this would only be relevant if here were two of them ?
I am a Christian, please excuse my bias.
Jun 25 2013: Gender is not really important for Christians for we are all one in Christ.
Galatians 3v28
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Our eternal state is unlikely to have genders.
Mark 12v25
"For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven."
The Christian God is Triune, or Three in One, Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. The Father & Holy Spirit are Spiritual Beings; so gender does not apply. The Son, of course, is Jesus Christ, who was a man, but is now a " Glorified " human. He is God, the Creator whom we worship. He came to earth as a man, & left earth as a man. Judging by Mark it seems likely that He is no longer gender sensitive. Christian women are quite happy to worship Christ without a care whether He is a male. He came to earth to connect with mankind (That includes women).
I'm going to stop this nonsense now, it's irrelevant.

SACRAMENTO—Students from California State University Stanislaus have uncovered several public documents pertaining to the upcoming controversial visit by former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
The documents -- including parts of the university's speaking contract with Palin -- were found in the dumpster outside the university's administration building two days after Senator Leland Yee (D- San Francisco) and Californians Aware were denied such public information by the university, resulting in a request of the Attorney General's office to investigate.
"It is truly shocking and a gross violation of the public trust that such documents would be thrown away and destroyed during a pending investigation," said Yee. "Found within the same files as regular university business were financial statements and documents of the CSU Stanislaus Foundation -- demonstrating that the foundation is operated by taxpayer-funded employees within the university itself. How can they possibly claim that no tax dollars are being used for the Palin event when state employees are called in on their furlough day to help avoid public scrutiny?"
"Turning over this information to the Attorney General is important so that any wrongdoing can be addressed and prevented from reoccurring in the future," said Lewis. "If this helps push for financial transparency on college campuses, then those of us involved know we did the right thing."
"My hat is off to these students who had the courage to come forward and report such information," said Yee. "They are to be commended for protecting our precious and limited public resources."
Among the documents found intact where pages 4 through 9 of the university's contract with Palin. While the actual compensation -- suspected to be nearly $100,000 -- cannot be found within the intact documents, pages 4 through 9 shows that Palin is expected to receive:
• "Round-trip, first class commercial air travel for two between Anchorage, Alaska and event city"
• Presumably for Palin's guests, "full, unrestricted round-trip coach airfare for two between event city and lower 48 US States."
• If the university chooses to use a private jet, "the Speaker, their traveling party and the plane crew will be the only passengers."
• Ground transportation in both the originating city and the event city "will be by SUV(s) from a professionally licensed and insured car service."
• "security arrangements as deemed necessary by [ Washington Speakers Bureau] and the Speaker."
• Accommodations are to include "a one-bedroom suite and two single rooms in a deluxe hotel" as well as a "laptop computer and printer (fully stocked with paper) and high speed internet" and "all meals and incidentals."
• "For Q&A, the questions are to be collected from the audience in advance, pre-screened and a designated representative shall ask questions directly of the Speaker."
• The contract also includes other stipulations regarding autographs, photographs, press releases, advertising, recording, lighting, bottled water and "bendable straws."
Among the papers found shredded are documents dated as recently as March 2010, the same date as on the Palin contract.
Today, Lewis was submitting the documents to the Attorney General's office to assist in their investigation regarding violation of the California Public Records Act (CPRA), and now potential tampering and destroying of evidence relevant to an ongoing investigation.
CSU Stanislaus Office of the President last week denied public records requests made by Yee and Californians Aware to disclose how much Palin is getting paid for an upcoming speaking engagement as well as documents and correspondence regarding the university's 50th Anniversary Gala.
The responses from Campus Compliance Officer Gina Leguria state, "The University has no documents that are responsive to your request."

Kim Kardashian Would 'Definitely' Date Justin Bieber – If He Was Legal
Justin Bieber only has two short years until he can land a date with Kim Kardashian.
On Tuesday's "Lopez Tonight," Kim confessed to host George Lopez that a date with the Canadian teen singing sensation isn't out of the question – at least, in the future.
"If he was of legal age," Kim, 29, said when asked if she would date 16-year-old Biebs. "He definitely has this swag to him."
The reality star also addressed Bill O'Reilly's recent criticism of her racy ELLE magazine shoot with the singer.
"I thought the shoot was all in fun, we had a good time," Kim said. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion on it."

DoD expands cyber info-sharing pilot with defense companies
Friday - 5/11/2012, 7:09pm EDT
The Pentagon said that will add more protection to information that's on unclassified systems in the industrial base. The expansion follows a year-long pilot run of the assurance program.
"The expansion of voluntary information sharing between the department and the defense industrial base represents an important step forward in our ability to catch up with widespread cyber threats," said Ashton Carter, deputy secretary of defense.

CC-10004 For The Treatment Of Vulvodynia

- How to Read a Study Record
Vulvodynia is characterized by persistent vulvar pain, which often occurs upon touch or pressure. The cause of vulvodynia is unknown but is presumed to involve many factors. Some of these factors may include altered immune response, infections, altered vaginal acid-base balance, allergic reactions and psychosexual disorders. Women are generally treated with medications such as anti-histamines, anti-depressants and anti-inflammatories, or with physical therapy to minimize symptoms. Other therapies for vulvodynia include topical agents (lidocaine, or compounded medications such as baclofen, gabapentin and amitriptyline), oral medications (gabapentin, pregabalin, calcium citrate), complementary therapies (yoga, guided imagery, cognitive behavioral therapy) or a low-oxalate diet, but these are often ineffective. Surgery for vulvodynia may be helpful in the hard to manage cases, but is utilized as a last resort.

Home ⋅ Photo Birth Announcements & Baby Announcements ⋅ Laura's Picks ⋅ 1 Photo ⋅ Signature Matte
"We used a sepia photo (a close up) of our baby girl. Because she is our second daughter we edited the top line to include the word "new" (Introducing our NEW Little Lady). The announcements arrived quickly. The quality of the paper and printing is very nice. These do not look like cheap announcements - they look as they should - like professional quality birth announcements. Everyone who has seen these gasps and tells me how beautiful they are."
"Great quality of print and paper! We got such lovely compliments - many of our friends and family have saved as a keepsake,"
"This card turned out beautiful! We loved the sample and were thinking we would use a b&w image to get the same "look" for our announcements. In the end, we used a sepia tone image and it looks even better than Tiny Prints sample card. We couldn't be happier with the results!!"
"These birth announcements turned out wonderfully!! The photo image was sharp and the coloring perfect!! The design elegant and everyone loved the modern yet vintage feel of them. I was very pleased with the weight of the paper and the coloring and font of the announcements. They were very easy to set-up and turned out even better than my approved draft!! Thank you so much for making the birth of my best friends baby so special for her!!"
"These turned out exactly as we wanted them to. We were thrilled with the quality of the cards. We have received many positive comments about them and could not imagine a better way to announce the birth of our little girl."

One of the most consistent comments I've heard about being a teacher in higher education is the lack of community. Oh sure, there's departmental meetings, college meetings, trainings and workshops, but very few occasions to converse with colleagues on what's happening in our classrooms. Every time we held a meeting for our teaching fellows and mentors, I always received happy chatter on how uplifting it was to talk about teaching with other educators experiencing the same things in class.
Many times, our new faculty find few opportunities to talk about teaching, especially in the hectic race and stress-filled years leading up to tenure. The focus on research, publishing, sitting on committees, soliciting letters of recommendation and documentation of student evaluations, among other things, leaves little time for a casual conversation on how to get students to put down their iPhones, stop checking their Facebook, be more engaged in classroom discussion and group work, and be enthralled by discovery and creativity in our classes. In addition, few higher ed teachers want to admit to their senior colleagues that they need this outlet, or have questions.
As a high school history teacher, when I entered the world of higher education I found this lack of community and daily sharing surprising. Us secondary school educators do little else but talk about our students, classrooms, teaching techniques, how to get our students to do the reading, write a decent essay, participate in class. We share battle stories and successes, send each other articles and tips we've found, lesson plans we experimented with that worked, and what to avoid. Classroom management is a huge conversation starter, and most between class periods are spent chuckling over how many cell phones we confiscated that day. Collaboration is the way to stay sane in the teaching game.
Though there are marked differences between teaching high school and teaching college level, the students aren't much different. We all inherit the academic habits (mostly bad), the absorption with social media, texting, personal drama, and lack of engagement. We all think about how to overcome these obstacles and be able to TEACH. We all want to light a fire in our students, show them the beauty of our disciplines. Community collegial support is critical to learning from each other, and knowing that we aren't alone.
Last year, I initiated faculty teaching circles, a series of informal discussion groups of faculty from a variety of disciplines who sat around a table, munched on crudités, sipped on coffee and tea, and talked teaching. I discovered several common threads that were on the forefront of our conversations.
The point of all of this is, we need each other. We need to talk and collaborate on teaching. The relief from anxiety and ego boost that comes with knowing that we belong to a community with shared goals and experiences cannot be overstated. Let's converse about teaching at university, as my contention is (there's tons of research) that a support system in place that values all teachers, provides validation and opportunities for sharing and questions, leads to better teachers, which leads to…better student learning. Though a discussion group can't promise solutions, as there aren't always easy solutions to the challenges of teaching, it can offer collaboration, commiseration, and avenues to searching for solutions that might not otherwise be available.
I can't take credit for thinking up the teaching circles, which invites all faculty and staff involved with student learning to drop in and talk, talk, talk. I borrowed the suggestion from a POD post (Professional and Organizational Network listserv). Even virtual conversations can provide a strong network of colleagues who can be counted on to answer your question, tap your experience, and provide an outlet.
PS. A colleague recently shared this humorous article on attempting to corral faculty: http://chronicle.com/blognetwork/researchcentered/2011/09/23/advanced-faculty-wrangling-techniques/
A few pointers from my experience concerning trying to get faculty to join:

Concert of Europe
The Concert of Europe (also Vienna system of international relations), also known as the Congress System after the Congress of Vienna, was the balance of power that existed in Europe from the end of the Napoleonic Wars (1815) to the outbreak of World War I (1914).
The Concert of Europe was founded by the powers of Austria, Prussia, the Russian Empire and the United Kingdom, who were the members of the Quadruple Alliance that defeated Napoleon and his First French Empire. In time, France was established as a fifth member of the concert.
At first, the leading personalities of the system were British foreign secretary Lord Castlereagh, Austrian chancellor Klemens von Metternich and Russian czar Alexander I. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord of France was largely responsible for quickly returning that country to its place alongside the other major powers in international diplomacy.
The age of the Concert is sometimes known as the Age of Metternich, due to the influence of the Austrian chancellor's conservatism and the dominance of Austria within the German Confederation, or as the European Restoration, because of the reactionary efforts of the Congress of Vienna to restore Europe to its state before the French Revolution. It is known in German as the Pentarchie (pentarchy) and in Russian as the Vienna System (Венская система, Venskaya sistema).
The Concert of Europe had no written rules or permanent institutions, but at times of crisis any of the member countries could propose a conference.[1] Meetings of the Great Powers during this period included: Aix-la-Chapelle (1818), Carlsbad (1819), Troppau (1820), Laibach (1821), Verona (1822), London (1832), Berlin (1878).
The Concert's effectiveness came to an end due to the rise of nationalism, the unification of Germany and the Risorgimento in Italy, and the Eastern Question and other factors.
The idea of a European federation had been already raised by figures such as Gottfried Leibniz[2] and the 1st Baron Grenville.[3] The Concert of Europe, as developed by Metternich, drew upon their ideas and the notion of a balance of power in international relations; that the ambitions of each Great Power was curbed by the others:
The Concert of Europe, as it began to be called at the time, had ... a reality in international law, which derived from the final Act of the Vienna Congress, which stipulated that the boundaries established in 1815 could not be altered without the consent of its eight signatories.[4]
French Revolution[edit]
From the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars in 1792 to the exile of Napoleon to Saint Helena in 1815, Europe had been almost constantly at war. During this time, the military conquests of France had resulted in the spread of liberalism throughout much of the continent, resulting in many states adopting the Napoleonic code. Largely as a reaction to the radicalism of the French Revolution.[5] most victorious powers of the Napoleonic Wars resolved to suppress liberalism and nationalism, and revert largely to the status quo of Europe prior to 1789.[6]
Holy Alliance[edit]
The Kingdom of Prussia, Austrian Empire and Russian Empire formed the Holy Alliance (26 September 1815) with the expressed intent of preserving Christian social values and traditional monarchism.[7] Every member of the coalition promptly joined the Alliance, save for the United Kingdom which had a more Liberal and Constitutional Monarchical outlook.
Quadruple Alliance[edit]
Britain did however ratify the Quadruple Alliance, signed on the same day as the Second Peace Treaty of Paris (20 November 1815)—and which became the known Quintuple Alliance when France joined in 1818. It was also signed by the same four powers that signed the Holy Alliance on 26 September 1815.[8]
Differences between the Holy Alliance and the Quadruple Alliance[edit]
A lot of debate has occurred between historians as to which treaty was more influential in the development of international relations in Europe in the two decades following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. In the opinion of historian Tim Chapman the differences are somewhat academic an the powers were not bound by the terms of the treaties and many of them intentionally broke the terms if it suited them.[9]
The Holy Alliance was the brainchild of Tsar Alexander I and it gained a lot of support because most crown head of Europe did not want to offend the Tsar by not signing it, and as it directed at them personally and not their governments, it was easy to ignore it once signed. Only three notable princes did not sign: Pope Pius VII (it was not Catholic enough), The Sultan of Turkey (it was too Christian), and the British Prince Regnant because his government did not want open ended commitment in the policing of continental Europe, and in the opinion of Lord Castlereagh, the British foreign secretary at the time of its inception, it was "A piece of sublime mysticism and nonsense".[9] Although it did not fit comfortably within the complex sophisticated and cynical web of power politics that epitomised diplomacy of the post Napoleonic era, its influence was more long lasting than its contemporary critics expected and was revived in the 1820s as a tool of repression when the terms of Quintuple Alliance was not seen to fit the purposes of some of the Great Powers of Europe.[10]
The Quadruple Alliance was a standard treaty and the four Great Powers did not invite any of their allies to sign it. The primary objective was to bind the signatures to support the terms of the Second Treaty of Paris for 20 years. It included a provision for the Hight Contracting Parties to "renew their meeting at fixed periods...for the purpose of consulting on their common interests" which were the "prosperity of the Nations, and the maintenance of peace in Europe".[11] A problem with the wording of Article VI of the treaty is that it did not specify what where "fixed periods" and there was no provisions in the treaty for a permanent commission (international body) to arrange and organise the conferences. This meant that the first conference in 1818 dealt with remaining issues of the French wars, but after that instead of meeting at "fixed periods" the meetings were arranged on an ad hoc basis, to address specific threats posed by revolutions, for which the treaty was not drafted.[12]
The Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle (1818) resolved the issues of Allied occupation of France and restored that country to equal status with Britain, Prussia, Austria and Russia.
In 1822, the Congress of Verona met to decide the issue if France could intervene on the side of the Spanish royalists in the Trienio Liberal. After receiving permission, Louis XVIII dispatched five army corps to restore Ferdinand VII of Spain.
In 1830, the Belgian Revolution against the Kingdom of the Netherlands began. French ambassador Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord presented a partition plan for the Southern Provinces to the Concert, which was not adopted. Nevertheless, the Great Powers unanimously recognized Belgian independence from the Kingdom of the Netherlands at the Treaty of London (1839). The treaty also established Belgian neutrality, which would last until the German invasion of Belgium in 1914.
Gradual erosion (1818–1914)[edit]
In 1818 the British decided not to become involved in continental issues that did not directly affect it. They rejected the plan of Tzar Alexander to suppress future revolutions.
The Concert began to weaken as the common goals of the Great Powers were gradually replaced by growing political and economic rivalries. It was eroded by the European revolutionary upheavals of 1848 with their demands for revision of the Congress of Vienna's frontiers along national lines.
The Concert unraveled in the latter half of the 19th century amid successive wars between its participants – the Crimean War (1854–56), the Italian War of Independence (1859), the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71). While the Congress System had a further significant achievement in the form of the Congress of Berlin (1878) which redrew the political map of the Balkans, the old balance of power had been irrevocably altered, and was replaced by a series of fluctuating alliances.
World War One (1914–1918)[edit]
By the early 20th century, the Great Powers were organized into two opposing coalitions (the Triple Alliance and the Entente Powers). The last conference was the London Conference of 1912-1913 convened to discuss the Balkan Wars.[13] In the 1914 July Crisis, Britain proposed a conference but Austria-Hungary and Germany both refused to attend.[14] World War I would break out in the following month.

Drowning a hazard even in small amounts of water
May 27, 2009
'Know Before You Go' campaign teaches water safety
As summertime approaches, kids are eager to be in and around water. But because it takes only three seconds for a child to drown — and because this can happen silently — parents should be vigilant about water safety.
Drowning is the leading cause of accidental unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4 and the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14. About 300 people drown each year in Texas, and for each child who drowns, four are hospitalized for near drowning. And even a near-drowning can cause brain damage, resulting in long-term disabilities.
As the state's first pediatric hospital with a Level I Trauma Center, Children's takes water safety seriously. To increase water safety awareness, Children's participates in Know Before You Go, a drowning prevention program led by the hospital, the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas, the Dallas Area American Red Cross and the Dallas Area Safe Kids Coalition.
The program's slogan, "Ready, Set, Save," incorporates easy steps you can take to prevent a child's drowning. These steps and other important drowning prevention information is available on the Children's Web site — www.childrens.com.
- Create layers of protection between the water and your children, such as door and window alarms, a non-climbable 5-foot fence surrounding the pool, self-closing fence gates that open outward, with latches out of the child's reach.
- Learn CPR and proper rescue techniques.
- Avoid distractions while children are near water, including talking on the phone, reading, preparing food or visiting with friends.
- Never leave your child alone near a pool, spa, bathtub or toilet.
- Assign an adult "Water Watcher" who is committed to supervising the pool area.
- Have phone access near the water area.
- Wear personal floatation devices that are Coast Guard approved.
- Call 9-1-1. If a child is missing, the first place to look is any nearby pools. Upon finding a child in the water, first yell for help and call 9-1-1. If someone is with you, have that person call 9-1-1.
- Throw! Don't go. If the child is conscious, use the mounted life-saving ring or shepherd's hook to provide the child with assistance to the side, steps or shallow area of the pool. In the case of a child who is unconscious or at the bottom of the pool, an adult should enter the water feet first and rescue the child onto the nearest level surface.
- Begin CPR. Determine if the child is breathing by tilting the head back and putting your cheek over their mouth. If you don't hear or feel breathing or see the chest rising, begin CPR immediately. Continue CPR until emergency help arrives. If you are alone and the child is not breathing, start CPR. After one minute, call 9-1-1. Return to the child and continue CPR until help arrives.

Viol consort music was big business in early 17th-century England. Fretwork's latest disc features two of the multitude of composers who turned their hand to it: John Milton, father of the poet, and Martin Peerson, a cleric, both of whom lived in London in the shadow of the old St Paul's Cathedral. The editions have been reconstructed by Richard Rastall.
Fretwork's six members bring to life the enjoyment that the original players of this very sociable music must have felt. The Fantasias have a sense of lively discourse and exchange of ideas, while the Almaines, with their declamatory openings, have a dance-like swing and lively rhythms that the players relish. Michael Chance's countertenor line in the single In nomine is hard to pick out among the intricacies of the viol parts dancing around it.
The ensemble sound is intense and glowing, the acoustic close and almost stuffy, giving a domestic feel to the recording. This effect is heightened by the players' positions as explained in the booklet: facing inwards as if around a table, as contemporary paintings and partbooks show viol consorts to have played, rather than in the arc usual for performances today.
The disc was the last made by Fretwork founder member and tenor violist Richard Campbell, who died in March 2011.

Drag Race
Drag is a late 18th century for a wagon or buggy, so called because the horse would drag it. By the 1850s this was transferred to the street, as in the phrase main drag. In the 1950s this was adopted by hot rodders--a drag race is one conducted on city streets, or at least that was the original sense.

Pata de Mulo is a wonderful introduction to Spanish sheep's milk cheeses. It has a mild citrus flavor with a firm, creamy texture. Serve it at room temperature with fruit or mebrillo jelly and a glass of Spanish red wine.
With a high cream content, its texture is smooth and pleasant. And compared to other sheep's milk cheeses it is relatively low in acidity, making for a flavorful yet approachable cheese.
Pata de Mulo is a classic semi-aged cheese from Castille y León, formed on a wooden plank into its distinctive oblong shape, which looks a bit like a mule's hoof - hence its colorful name! It is aged from 3 to 4 months until it is fairly dense with a pearly gray rind.
Bring this Pata de Mulo Spanish cheese to room temperature before slicing. It may have a slight amount of harmless mold on its rind, simply wipe away with a cloth and some vegetable oil.

Suspected Shiite militiamen opened fire Friday inside a Sunni mosque in northeast Iraq, killing dozens in an attack that appeared to derail the formation of a new government -- something world leaders have said is a must if the country hopes to defeat Islamic militants.
The news of the attack that left 65 people dead came as Iraqi forces -- in some cases boosted by U.S. airstrikes -- touted successes in the fight to push back the extremist Sunni Muslim militant group, which calls itself the Islamic State. Militants control large swaths of northern Iraq and eastern Syria.
The attack in the Musab bin Omar Mosque in the village of Bani Weis in Diyala province, about 75 kilometers northeast of Baquba, also left at least 17 people wounded, officials said.
Sunni lawmakers withdrew from negotiations to form a new government, saying they would not return until those behind the attack were arrested, two party officials told CNN.
Iraqi authorities did not immediately identify the attackers, but Sunni politicians have put the blame on Shiite militias.
Calling it the latest in a series of attacks by militiamen aligned with Iraqi security forces in the fight against ISIS, Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq -- a Sunni -- said the government must conduct an investigation and hold accountable those behind the attack.
"We want serious action," he told CNN.
But the United States and the United Nations called on Iraq to continue its efforts to form a united government, saying it is the only way for Iraq to defeat the sectarian divide that allowed ISIS to take hold.
"This senseless attack underscores the urgent need for Iraqi leaders from across the political spectrum to take the necessary steps that will help unify the country against all violent extremist groups," Marie Harf, a U.S. State Department spokeswoman, said.
Sunni lawmaker Nahida al-Dayani, who was grew up in the village, told Reuters that roughly 150 people were worshipping inside the mosque Friday morning when Shiite militiamen stormed the building.
The attack, al-Dayani told the news agency, was believed to be retribution for a roadside bombing earlier in the day that targeted an Iraqi security force vehicle.
U.S. 'understands the threat'
U.S. President Barack Obama authorized targeted airstrikes to protect U.S. personnel in Iraq -- including military advisers -- as well as minorities being brutalized by ISIS. The Pentagon also has said the airstrikes are meant to support Iraqi and Kurdish defense operations.
Much has been made in recent days about whether the United States needs to expand its operations to go after ISIS fighters in their stronghold in eastern Syria.
Asked Friday whether the United States was considering expanding the air campaign into Syria, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said, "We don't telegraph our punches."
"I'm not going to get ahead of planning that hasn't been done or decisions that haven't been made," Kirby said. "... I think you can rest assured that the leadership here in the Pentagon understands the threat posed by this group, understands the threat posed inside Iraq."
ISIS vows retribution for killings
ISIS, through one of its Twitter accounts, said Friday that more than 50 of its fighters were killed while defending Jalawla "against the Peshmerga mercenaries," a reference to Kurdish forces.
A subsequent tweet said the group vowed revenge.
The threat came as Iraqi and Kurdish forces lauded gains against ISIS fighters, taking back several villages in Diyala province, and they surrounded the large ISIS-held town of Jalawla, a spokesman for Kurdish forces said.
The Peshmerga and Iraqi commandos inflicted heavy losses against ISIS on Friday as they took back a number of towns and villages around Jalawla in Diyala province, Pershmerga spokesman Brig. Gen. Halgord Hikmat told CNN.
Jalawla, a mostly Kurdish city of about 50,000 people roughly 70 miles northeast of Baghdad, was taken by ISIS earlier this year. Kurdish and Iraqi forces now surround it, Hikmat said.
In neighboring Salaheddin province, also north of Baghdad, Iraqi helicopters killed 30 ISIS fighters in the town of Dhuluiya, about 70 kilometers northeast of Baquba, Iraqi security officials told CNN.
Also Friday, Iraqi forces took another step in their attempt to take back Tikrit, the birthplace of former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein, Iraqi security sources said. The city fell to ISIS in June.

At the western edge of the Great Basin lies a vast stretch of high mountain desert with sage covered hillsides, towering rock precipices and majestic mountain ranges. Indian Territory, Nevada, is home to three major Native American tribes: the Washoe, Paiute and Western Shoshone. For thousands of years their ancestors were the stewards of this land.
Indian Territory was one of the last major frontiers to be explored and settled by Euro-Americans. This land offered native people the ability to sustain ethnic identity longer than other parts of the country. Even through past tribulations, they have remained strong. The Washoe, Paiute and Western Shoshone tribes still comprise a culturally rich and distinctive ethnic group.
Today, the tribes focus their efforts on political and economic change. Tribal members look to the future with hope for a prosperous and environmentally aware society that understands the value of cultural diversity.

Nuno Job's NanoCouch Node.js driver for CouchDB:
After doing development like this for a while some obvious patterns started to emerge, as well as some code duplication. So the idea of nano was born: Build the minimal abstraction possible that allows you to use CouchDB from nodejs while preserving
NanoCouch was well received by the CouchDB community with comments like:
Mikeal Rogers: this post is really good because it doesn't assume you know all the little things i always forget to explain, like how the callback arguments are structured. perfect beginner article! :)

Wolf Eyes
Wolf Eyes – Endless Boogie and Magik Markers
Some say Rock N Roll will never reach the same primitive raw vein hit of Bo Diddley at his more subhuman lurch or no unit can ever scramble the marbles left of what brain boiling suburban electronic punk outsiders did in the mid 70′s: Whatever you think, there is no denying the homemade nuclear war Wolf Eyes has left on music. Wolf Eyes was birthed in the shadows by a few liked minded individuals: Nate Young, Aaron Dilloway and John Olson in the late 90′s in Michigan. However, Wolf Eyes has become more than band, but a collective mutant ensemble, an art abstraction unit: musicians, print makers, photographers and more, all who share a primal shadowy vision of decoding the wilderness into the soul of humanoid from the deep audio arsenals.
Today, Wolf Eyes are pleased to announce their return with a European tour (a US tour to follow) and a new a record, No Answer : Lower Floors. Wolf Eyes are returning to longtime friend base and Interzone of outsider art, De Stijl Records, with whom the band worked on No Face Lives, their collaboration with Smegma and the loner blues cerebration unit Stare Case's Lose Today.
The No Answer : Lower Floors material covers all bases: tough to toughest to tangled, all done in the Wolves' least convoluted smooth style simple yet tangled rhythms. The vocals, delays, primitive electronics, woodwinds and raw guitar of newest member Jamas Baljo create a new destroyed space to crawl through. No Answer : Lower Floors was recorded and mixed at the Michigan Underground Group's gambling/clubhouse/art space, with the usually 2D-flat quality of the drums and electronics given creeping new brightness-life within the hollow echo acoustics of the sacred space's cinder prisons. No Answer : Lower Floors shares a natural feel with previous Wolf Eyes efforts but goes much further in detailing their underworld of odd melodies and mangled harmonics. Within their system-based economic compositions, there remains zero room for wasted space. The whole record is less internal misery and more colorful: of a "could be life on mars" zone than rainbows.
No Answer : Lower Floors features former members Aaron Dilloway and Mike Connelly, and thus is a family homecoming of sorts. More important, it's the dawn of a new Wolf Eyes era. As the desconstructed skull mangled on the cover states: it's RNR from a waste world of 2001244 A.D.
A NYC band featuring two dudes who work at Matador records (we think). Real famous record collector types or so we're told. Now doing their own brand of dumbo psych rock blurt, indeed boogying (they wasn't kiddin'!) and probably all too endlessly for some, in the spirit of their evident sixties/seventies heroes. They got de mojo too, it seems, rubbin' off all those elpees they been collectin'.
Experimental rockers the Magik Markers formed in Hartford, CT, in 2001, featuring guitarist/vocalist Elisa Ambrogio, drummer Pete Nolan, and bassist Leah Quimby. Inspired by no wave and hardcore, the Magik Markers crafted a free-rocking sound that made the most of their stream-of-consciousness approach. The band made CD-Rs available at its shows and eventually caught the ear of Thurston Moore, who invited the group to play on Sonic Youth's 2004 American tour. Moore's Ecstatic Peace label co-released the band's album I Trust My Guitar, Etc. with Apostasy Recordings in 2005. The Magik Markers were prolific in 2006, releasing The Volodor Dance (an installment in Southern Records Latitudes series) and A Panegyric to the Things I Do Not Understand (on Gulcher Records). That year, Leah Quimby left the group, and after auditioning several replacements, Ambrogio and Nolan decided to continue as a duo. On 2007′s Boss, the pair worked with Lee Ranaldo, who produced the album and chipped in guitar and glockenspiel parts. They moved to Drag City for 2009′s Balf Quarry.
