Representatives from the Save Our Clinics campaign will be at the next meeting of Southsiders For Peace. Please come to hear their story and join the fight for mental health services in our neighborhood. The next meeting is at 7:30 on Tuesday April 3 at the castle.
Urgent action is needed to stop the closing of Chicago mental health clinics.
Due to budget cuts, Chicago is planning on closing 6 of the 12 locally financed mental health clinics, including the one at 111th & Longwood. These closings would effect hundreds of our most vulnerable neighbors. Many have no medical insurance, SSI, Medicare, or MedicAid. Please help the Save Our Clinics campaign.

Destroying mountains and dumping toxic waste in communities' waters is wrong. Please urge the Obama administration to stand strong amid coal industry attacks and to protect the waters and people of Appalachia. Take Action Today!
Our country has literally no limits on the carbon pollution that is causing catastrophic climate change and that is freely spewed by power plants.
Yesterday, The Environmental Protection Agency finally proposed a rule to change that. Unfortunately, not by very much.1
The EPA's first ever rule limiting carbon pollution — known as the Carbon Pollution Standard — applies only to unlikely-to-be-built, new coal-fired power plants. It is riddled with loopholes allowing new sources of pollution including some new coal plants. It does nothing to reduce carbon pollution from much more significant existing sources.
It's sad that our political climate has been made so toxic by climate change denying Republicans — who literally voted to deny the science of climate change2 — that the very acknowledgement of the need to regulate carbon pollution by EPA is a victory and a positive step forward.
But in today's actual climate — where much of our country just experienced record-shattering March heat waves after a disturbing lack of winter — it is not nearly enough. It is not only disappointing but profoundly dangerous that this rule does little if anything to effectively reduce unregulated climate pollution.
The EPA will now accept public comments on the rule — and as it weighs the public's reaction, we need to show that we expect much, much more from EPA to regulate carbon pollution.

Mon-Sat 11:30am-2:30pm and 5:30-9:30pm; Sun 5:30-9:30pm
Exquisite – Best place to catch a sunset on Amelia Island. Sip drinks while sitting in the rocking chairs and watch the sun set over the marshes/through the marina.
The dinner far exceeded my expectations. I have had many very expensive and very fine meals in the Washington DC area where I live. This ranks well up the list. It was moderately priced and reflected the regional influences with culinary charm. Flavors were well balanced and sufficiently sophisticated.
The fried green tomatoes with goat cheese were a perfect fusion of southern and modern flavors. The crawfish grits were also interesting; a fusion of Cajun and southern flavors. The seared scallops were perfectly prepared and the herb crusted beef was appropriately seasoned (not over seasoned) and tender.
My only complaint would lie in the wine pairing. This is partly my fault. I deferred to the server's suggestion to pair a Sauvignon Blanc with the scallops. Not a bad pairing but an oaked Chardonnay with a hint of citrus would have paired better than the fruity citrus of the Sauvignon Blanc.
The dessert was also well presented and equally exquisite. Fresh peach torte - My wife thought that it was perfect. I craved a sprinkle of nutmeg (just on the plate).
All together I was very pleasantly surprised by my culinary experience at Brett's. The sophistication of the menu and the professionalism of the service were also notable.
The restaurant's name Brett's Waterway Cafe is rather unfortunate. It is far more than a cafe, but I suppose that the owner is Brett. Regardless, whoever the Chef is he/she is to be complimented. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
great night – Me and my husband went to Fernandina on a get away from everything. We asked where to go and was referred here several times. We got there before sunset and asked for a window table. The hostess advised us that there would be a wait and we got cocktails out on the porch and rocked and watch the beautiful sunset. The timimng for our table was perfect. Our server was attentive and great. Mgmt came by to check on everything. All in all it was a wonderful experience.
3rd Time & STILL not the charm – We've eaten here three times over the past few years.
Beer - warm
Seating - terrible (you're always next to the smoking section)
Food - blah to bad at best. Who can mess up mashed potatoes. My son's chicken fingers were even awful.

Neighborhoods: Downtown, Northeast
HORRIBLE SERVICE – I wanted to make it a special night for some family members who were coming to town. I called ahead to see if I needed to make a reservation and the girl said it'd be a good idea if I did just to make sure. When we arrived not only was the place empty but when it was time to sit our party of 5 there wasn't a table available (I thought I made a reservation?!). Not only was the hostess cold and a rude, the table we were sat at was dirty and we had to wait in the "lounge" area while they cleared it.
Later we were shown to a different table and after waiting for over 15 minutes for a waiter to even acknowledge us I went back to the hostess and asked who our waiter was…Finally our waiter comes and takes our orders. 30 minutes later we get our food (remember it was empty and it's freaking RAW food anyways…).
My dad asked for a Coke refill, the waiter comes back with the glass HALF full. It wasn't like there was a foam head to settle… It was so ridiculous!
We are huge sushi eaters and go out often. For a place that's been open such a short time in such a bad economy you'd think they'd go out of their way to make sure customers come back. I DO NOT recommend this place. Food was okay, service was horrible; the only thing they have going for them is the décor.
I would give it 0 stars because even 1 seems like too much (1 for decor)

I thought I'd put this "My Transformation" section to good use and start my own daily accountability log. It's active rest for me right now but I tend to like to keep on online daily log of what's happening.
Today is just that, rest. I'm enjoying a much needed rest from the gym and will take a nice long walk this evening and take a look at all of the flowers and trees blooming here in the south.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right ~ Henry Ford
Michelle Simpson ~2009 Body-for-LIFE Champion 46+ Catagory
Champ-Congrats on another challenge and being able to state that you aren't going to keep track of your challenges anymore because you have made this your lifestyle!! Enjoy your rest, you deserve it! :)
DebMO :0) Blessed to be a Blessing...
Today I woke up with only minor twinges in my shoulders. In comparison to the major twinges and my concerns about them I more than happy with my rest week so far. Today I did steady state cardio and abs, both just for fun.
So to be clear, this is Champster's accountability and not our accountability to Champster? :-)
Jessica Mighty Max ~ 2013 Body-for-LIFE Champion ~ Champion is a VERB!
Just me being accountable to all of ya'll. It's in my best interest to be held accountable... ;-)
I think it's a great idea. We should all be accountable.
Cardio today, lots of great sweat, kind of gross, but still a good thing.
Drinking more water than usual, which means more trips down the block long hall to the potty which means even more calories burned... ;o)
Still on AR and another nice cardio is in the bag. I've struggled much less with the "old me" trying to reclaim space in my routine this time around, which is progress for me!
I am so glad that I've really learned to appreciate active rest. The body needs a break from the weights from time to time and it's been just what I needed!! Nagging shoulder soreness has finally gone away!! Been doing a whole lot of sweating during cardio. And I'm looking forward to getting back to the weights on Monday!
Workout is in the bag, meals all planned out. Another beautiful day in Alabama.
hey champster!
i was wondering what you did for exercise while on active rest? i am not even close to finishing my challenge, but i was wondering what active rest entailed. i have seen it mentioned here and there and have no idea. thanks, T
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.
Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can.
I go for walks during my lunch hour, jog, roller blade and kayak now that the whether is nice. I also stay mindful of my 6 days on 1 free day eating. I tend to have the most trouble with food, my old habits will always be there inside and I have to make sure that I'm on the lookout for them.
Workout in the bag. Stopped at the store this morning for tuna and found a dollar off coupon on four packs of tear open tuna. Love me a bargain.
Meals are dead on clean.
Way to Go Michelle! And I love the Starkist tuna sandwich ready Light packs. They are awesome spread on a low-carb whole wheat tortilla!

2 scoops is a huge amount of powder. I have to take one scoop and then another later on. The taste is sweet and a nice vanilla but the texture is pretty gritty. Once it is shaken drink it as fast as possible. Since this is plant protein if it gets left to be drunk over 10 minutes it turns in to a glue like goopy thick mess and the taste ofdried pea and musty plants come out. It's plant protein so you cannot expect the smoothness from a whey shake.
Absolutely love it!

I was always so hungry all the time. Now I drink my breakfast mixing this product with almond milk and feel fine until lunch. It's only 310 calories per serving. Sometimes I drink one for dinner and feel great as well. After a few weeks of taking this and NewChapter CoffeeBerry tablets, I have no cravings and am losing weight with no exercise (albeit slowly).

I have been taking this for almost 6 months now. I am a vegetarian and I find it hard to get enough protein per day. This really helps, I have it with coconut water or milk for breakfast of lunch. Love the taste as well.

Enhanced Fujita Scale
Deconstructing the Enhanced Fujita Scale
Practically speaking, it is nearly impossible to measure the actual wind speed inside tornadoes, as they can destroy just about any unprotected weather instruments placed in their path. While ingenious storm chasers and engineers have devised vehicles and instrument packs that can withstand a tornado, the logistics and time involved to deploy such devices before every tornado would be inconceivable.
This is why a measurement system for estimating the intensity of tornadoes after their impact was devised, a system known today as the Enhanced Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale.
(MORE: How Are Tornadoes Categorized?)
The original Fujita scale is named after Dr. Ted Fujita, a University of Chicago severe storms research scientist who came up with the scale in 1971. Dr. Fujita's scale, which ranges from F0 to F5, is based upon the type and severity of damage the tornado produced. At that time, there were very few actual measurements of tornado wind speeds that he could relate to the damage, but he used them -- together with a lot of insight -- to devise approximate wind speed ranges for each damage category.
In subsequent years, structural engineers and meteorologists have examined damage from many tornadoes. They use knowledge of the wind forces needed to damage or destroy various buildings and their components to estimate the resultant wind speeds. The engineers and scientists eventually determined that the original F-Scale wind speeds were too high for categories F3 and higher.
In particular, homes are not built so strongly that 250-300 mph winds are needed to destroy them. In some areas, building codes may only require that roofs withstand 70 mph winds. Once the roof is blown off, walls have less support and begin to fail. In other cases, the house frame may not be properly bolted to the foundation. It then begins to slide off the foundation, perhaps partly lifted by strong upward winds in the tornado. By the early 1990s, even Dr. Fujita recognized these shortcomings and recommended adjusting the assessments.
(MORE: Top 10 Worst Tornadoes | No Myth: Urban Tornadoes Not Uncommon)
Guidelines in the original scheme lumped together homes, schools, mobile homes, vehicles, and trees in one short description of damage for each F-Scale category. In the enhanced scheme, detailed descriptions are given for examples of damage to 23 types of buildings and five additional objects like trees, towers, and poles. Wind speed estimates are then provided for each structure and type of damage.
The Enhanced Fujita (EF) Scale was devised by a panel of meteorologists and engineers convened by the Wind Science and Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University. The Weather Channel's severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes was on the team of experts who determined the revised wind speed ranges. Since 2007, the EF Scale has been used to rate tornadoes.

BEST bar/restaurant anywhere !!! – I LOVED THIS PLACE !!! I disagree with you "spud1981". I frequent Brady's one to two times per week. It is VERY CLEAN. Fast, friendly servers, great food, and never have I received a dirty plate or glassware. Were you fired from Brady's? Just trying to make them sound horrible? Everyone that goes to Brady's will certainly disagree with you.
WORST PLACE IVE EVER BEEN – I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. They really need to work on their customer service. Not only is their management unqualified to work with people , but there dishes are dirty. Everytime I go in there I have to ask for a new plate/glass or something. Based on the last time I was there, I would highly suggest they call an exterminator. DO NOT GO THERE
Good Place for Food and Drink – Some excellent salads, good specials and nice drink selection. Works for family.
randlberg – What a GREAT burger. They have awesome ribs and one of our friends tried a pulled pork platter that was delicious! Service very griendly and quick.
Great Burgers – Their 95% fat free burger was delicious - I think the best in the area (not as greasy as redcoat tavern). They also have a great chicken pasta. Service is good, staff is friendly.
Burgers 2nd only to Red Coat – Dee-lish-ous!!!! The One Even Leaner is 95% fat free but 100% tasty.

Session One
Educators are increasingly turning to technology for information and resources to help provide educational and support services for all students. While much of the information and resources available are appropriate for all students, special educators in particular are looking for evidenced-based programs and supports to assist them in teaching the diverse population of students that require their help. This conference will feature selected resources that are readily available free of charge. It will also demonstrate how virtual mentoring can be used to support teachers.

Session Two
The evaluation of teachers, including special education teachers, has become increasingly important as teachers are held accountable for student performance. At the same time, many special education teachers are assuming new roles such as co-teaching, coaching and supporting general education teachers and related service personnel. This conference will address the issues of special education teacher evaluation, including time attribution and measures such as student performance. Data from a National Center for Teacher Quality study will be presented to give examples of practices across the nation.

Session Three
The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) have led an effort to develop national voluntary common core standards for K-12 in English/Language Arts and Math. The standards were released in June 2010, and more than half of the states have already agreed to adopt them. In this conference, representatives from the NGA and CCSSO will discuss the standards, the adoption process, how states will use them and specifically address what the common core standards mean for special education.

Zermatt Festival: Premiere performance of "Der Bergmensch" (The Mountain Man)
For the first time, the Zermatt Festival is bringing a premiere performance to the Matterhorn with "Der Bergmensch" from the New York based composer and saxophonist Daniel Schnyder. The festival, featuring many musicians from the Berlin Philharmonic, takes place from the 31st August to the 16th September 2012.
82 chamber musicians will be playing in the village and in the Riffelalp Chapel at 2,222 metres above sea level during the Zermatt Festival. "As a Swiss exile, I often miss the mountains that had such a strong impression on my youth", writes the Swiss composer Daniel Schnyder in his programmatic text for the world premiere performance of "Der Bergmensch". While on a hike in Zermatt, he was amazed to come across the members of the Scharoun Ensembles Berlin, the musicians and members of the Berlin Philharmonic who have been enriching and shaping the Zermatt Festival in the autumn over the past eight years. Schnyder remarked that they had all become passionate mountain men, and enjoyed the beauty of the mountain environment on long walks every year as if for the first time. There is therefore "no small Alpine symphony" awaiting the festival visitors in the parish church of St. Mauritius on Saturday, 8th September. There will be no protagonist climbing a mountain summit. I would rather bring natural images to life musically, in the same way as pictures at an exhibition."
Festival start with the splendour of ancient Russian church music
To start the festival, the Grammy award-winning Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir will be singing Rachmaninoff's Vespers Mass (All-Night Vigil) on the 31st August. Although already famous as a pianist, Rachmaninoff achieved a reputation as a great composer with this work in 1915.
Mélodie Zhao, a pianist with Chinese roots born in Greyerz in the Canton of Fribourg, is a fresh young talent who also represents the face of a cosmopolitan, multicultural Switzerland. Her early virtuosity raises well-founded expectations that we are seeing the arrival of a great artist onto the world stage here.
On Sunday, Nurit Stark (violin) and Cédric Pescia (piano) will perform a concert on the Riffelalp, with works from Ludwig van Beethoven and Ferruccio Busoni.

How do you combat loneliness?
Tonight is another one of "those nights" . My life consists of getting ready for work, working, eating dinner, watching TV and answering email, sleeping and repeat ad infinitum. That's it. I go to Mass on Saturday afternoon and the rest of my weekend is lying around.
The loneliness is horrible--I sleep very little and I'm relieved when it's time to get up so I don't have to lay there anymore and think about how I'm all alone. Sometimes I roll over and go to throw my arm around someone --and he's not there so my arm hits the bed, I startle awake and then cry. I hate nighttime. My friends are all married so they have families and I am feeling like the only person who lives alone on the entire planet. --I'd laugh at tha but I'm bummed.
How do you get out of the loneliness. Sadly I'm financially strapped so I really don't have $$ to go out. I'm just needing to adjust my attitude but not sure how. I'm sick of crying and feeling cruddy. Being alone isn't always bad, I just sink into this loneliness, heck I talk to the characters on TV...no one to laugh or chat with. I am glad I stopped drinking because that was going nowhere...but what helps you when loneliness creeps in?

732 Filbert St, Pittsburgh, PA | Directions 1523240.451732 -79.933240
Tuesday To Saturday From 10:00 AM To 09:00 PM Sunday From 10:00 AM To 04:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Shadyside
Delicious and Very Welcoming! – I don't know why everyone says they're rude here. I've been to the Shadyside location many times and everyone has always been very nice. The owner is engaging, though he's usually very busy cooking. The only time I've ever seen him get a little snippy is when people try to take the tables before ordering. There's a sign on the door that asks patrons to place their order before seating, as well as another by the register. This way everyone waits in line, there is no table-hogging and people get their food and are seated in an orderly manner. Too bad half the people who descended the steps couldn't read - I would be snippy too if I had to constantly remind people to follow directions!
The food is excellent, however. I recommend the breakfast crepe with bechamel, but a friend swears by the spinach and mushroom crepe with soy tang. The menu is just big enough, but the 3 sauce choices assure you many different experiences. If you go, order the hot tea - Mariage Freres tea is the best there is!
Poorly managed – While novel and having decent crepes, it is poorly managed and staffed. Service has not been rude, they are just not customer-oriented. With other options in the area...go somewhere else if you want to feel welcomed.
THE OWNER IS RUDE! – Everytime I have called there or been there the manager has been extremely ingnorant and is unprofessional. Because of this, I refuse to give him any business. He should learn how to treat customers!
Good Authentic Crepes – The chef is from france. He used to have a street cart in france. These are some amazing and authentic crepes. To the people that complain that he's rude...it's because he can't stand you lazy, fat, rude americans.
Excellent Food; Good Veggie Options – I work on Craig Street and eat at that location at least once a week. I have never had a problem with the rudeness others described--although, I also have no tolerance for people who can't follow simple instructions. It's a small location and the food is in demand, so I think the staff does the best job they can to get everyone their food quickly. The staff has been attentive every time I've eaten there.
The crepes are fabulous. I'm a vegetarian, and I've only had the savory crepes. The mixed veggie crepe with bechamel sauce is fabulous. Savory crepes come with a side salad of mixed greens, oranges, and a light champagne vinagraitte. It's a filling and delicious meal for just $7.
My only advice is to go early or later. it's busiest right around noon.
Do not bring 3 or more people in your party – Husband and I went there for the first time a few weeks back. I had the salmon crepe; he the egg & cheese crepe. Both were delicious and the place was only slightly busy since it was between the breakfast & lunch rush. My sister and her fiance came in from San Fran; figured we would show them a nice place and have some great food. Forgot they only took cash. Headed to an ATM while sister and fiance looked at the menu while letting people step in front of them in line because 1) there were no free tables for a party of 4 and 2) they were waiting on us. We got there & sent one of our party to the register to order.
There is no where to stand out of the way of anything; a two-top opened up and that is where we sat & stood while keeping our eyes peeled for another table. A staff member rudely told us we needed to be in line and not at the table. We quickly pointed out that our friend was indeed in line (my sister wanted to point out that they let about 5 couples in front of them while they waited) and then the staff member told us we were not allowed to sit until we ordered. He then proceeded to stare at us until we moved; unfortunately there was no places to stand and wait. Raining outside - so that was certainly not an option.
We left - sadly disappointed and surely never to return again.
My favorite place to eat... – Crepes is a great place for a hundred reasons. Active, pleasing environment, very consistent high quality of food and service. Would like better advertising of the "table acquisition" process so that people understood to place orders before sitting.
C'est horrible! – I recently went to Crepes Parisiennes on Craig Steet with a group of friends, and needless to say it was a terrible experience. First of all, it took us over 15 minutes to get to the register and order our crepes. The crepe lady was really unfriendly and seemed to give me an attitude for suggesting a special order. After we finally placed our orders, we sat down and waited for our food. Even though I SPECIFICALLY made instructions not to put anything extra on my crepe, it was slathered in sour cream, chives, and lemon. Did I order a baked potato or something? To cut a long story short, I will not be going back to this restaurant anytime soon and I encourage everyone else to pass on Crepes Parisiennes.
Crepe Fascist & His Dungeon from SAW – Over-priced greasy food, pretentious environment and the owner is obnoxious.
I really enjoyed coming here until this last summer when things began to take a dive. The quality of the food went way down - the eggs in one of their signature dishes were spongey, cold and clammy on a regular basis and they began to drown everything in (olive?) oil to cover for it.
Due to the dungeon-from-SAW-like size of the restaurant and the fact they do not take reservations, the staff has taken to the irritating habit of ushering people out the door if they are not eating fast enough. As a result you tend to get a little paranoid if you aren't chewing at regulation speed (15 mins). They also reassign where people sit, in mid-meal, in order to accomodate more people (musical chairs).
The food is way over-priced for the amount of actual food & inedible shrubbery you receive and the non-college aged staff is outrageously snobbish. Should you dare make any special dietary requests on a given crepe the owner/chef/manager will snap back about departing from the listed ingredients. When I was there last they didn't even tolerate my inquiry about whether they use peanut oil (I'm allergic).
The owner/manager is the balding Soup-Nazi of crepes; he freely barks at you if you confuse his Shadyside restaurant with his Oakland restaurant and he seems to get agitated if you do not overly compliment his food.
Suggestion: There really aren't any crepe or french cuisine places in Shadyside but Pamela's is right down the street - it is just as greasy and a bit difficult to get in, but the prices match up to the food better and the staff is far more professional.
Delicious crepes!!!! – The food here is wonderful. The best I ever had! Every Saturday morning this is what I crave! I recommend the Mixed Vegetable, add an egg, with Soytang and Creme Fraiche. They get very particular about seating, because they want to be fair to their customers who wait in line. They have no issue finding a seat though for anyone older, or who needs to sit while they wait. Just ask!!! If you treat them with respect they will do the same to you. It gets very busy, and it's such a small space that it's necessary for rules such as, "do not take or hold a table until you order." I love it, and it's my favorite place in Pittsburgh! Also recommend the Cafe Au Lait, and Hot Chocolate (best in Pittsburgh, made from real chocolate chips).

Carol Eustice, our Guide to Arthritis, reports:
There has been talk of taking these drugs off the market for years. Since 1978, the FDA has received two requests to remove propoxyphene from the market. But, until this point, the FDA had concluded that the benefits of propoxyphene for pain relief at recommended doses outweighed the risks. Why the change? A study has now shown that, even at recommended doses, propoxyphene can affect the electrical activity of the heart -- increasing the risk for serious abnormal heart rhythms that can lead to serious side effects, including death.
If you have chronic pain conditions that are treated with Darvon, Darvocet, or other forms of propoxyphene, talk to your doctor about switching to different medication.

The First Muslim
The Story of Muhammad
Lesley Hazleton - Author
add to cart
- Hardcover: $27.95 add to cart
The extraordinary life of the man who founded Islam, and the world he inhabited—and remade.
Muhammad's was a life of almost unparalleled historical importance; yet for all the iconic power of his name, the intensely dramatic story of the prophet of Islam is not well known. In The First Muslim, Lesley Hazleton brings him vibrantly to life. Drawing on early eyewitness sources and on history, politics, religion, and psychology, she renders him as a man in full, in all his complexity and vitality.
Hazleton's account follows the arc of Muhammad's rise from powerlessness to power, from anonymity to renown, from insignificance to lasting significance. How did a child shunted to the margins end up revolutionizing his world? How did a merchant come to challenge the established order with a new vision of social justice? How did the pariah hounded out of Mecca turn exile into a new and victorious beginning? How did the outsider become the ultimate insider?
Impeccably researched and thrillingly readable, Hazleton's narrative creates vivid insight into a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, nonviolence and violence, rejection and acclaim. The First Muslim illuminates not only an immensely significant figure but his lastingly relevant legacy.
"A rich biography… Those who read it will come away well prepared to understand the prophet whose message, 14 centuries later, is the creed of more than a billion and a half people." –The San Francisco Chronicle

Juvenile gang sweep in Victor Valley
Juvenile crime intervention operation held throughout Victor Valley
The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Apple Valley Station may only have cold and gloomy weather to blame for the small results during a juvenile gang suppression operation held from 2 p.m. to midnight Saturday.
"This (sweep) our numbers are probably going to be low, because it's windy and dusty," Deputy Aaron Conley said. "If I was at home, I wouldn't be outside either."
A grant awarded from the California Gang Reduction and Intervention Program made the operation possible, which helps identify juvenile gang members, allows supervised contact with probationers and facilitates arrests for gang members in violation.
"The gang operation pays for eight deputies for 10 hours," Conley said.
Saturday's operation was the first to take place using the grant. Conley plans to schedule 12 sweeps throughout the year.
In this sweep, two-man teams focused on Apple Valley, Victorville and Hesperia, but future sweeps will follow in surrounding cities.
"The grant specifies that it needs to be a regional type of focus," Conley said.
During the early portion of the operation on Saturday, two different juveniles were checked on at their residence, both of which were not home at the time.
"It's one of those things that no matter how hard you look, sometimes you just can't find anything. Then when you're not looking, it just falls in your lap," Conley said.
Another stop was made at an abandoned business parking lot with a juvenile carrying a baseball bat.
According to Deputy Sarah Ferguson, this particular parking lot had been experiencing vandalism. The juvenile looked suspicious with the bat so he was stopped, but was released.
The grant is also providing for curfew sweeps. For that operation, a 10 p.m. curfew is set.
"Unless they have a specific purpose without their parents to be out, they're in violation of curfew," Conley said.
The grant is also helping to teach 50 third graders at Phoenix Academy and Sandia Elementary School.
"It's paying to teach a life-skills training class," Conley said. "That program teaches them ... (how to avoid) bad decisions. It's an evidencebased program that reduces alcohol, smoking and tobacco use by 80 to 90 percent, if we keep on them. (The grant) is also paying for bullying programs at the schools and the intervention of gang members. If we can get to them young, we can try to rehabilitate them."

Gooley was recognized for increasing the number of families that completed free and reduced price meal applications by the October 1, 2008 deadline. The previous year's free and reduced price benefits are only applied to students until October 1st. After that date, many qualified children were eliminated from the program and subjected to receiving only a peanut butter or cheese sandwich and milk. Recognizing that many eligible families do not turn in the necessary forms to continue receiving free and reduced price meals, Gooley developed a campaign to enroll 80 percent more families than the previous year. Sensitive to the needs of her ethnically diverse community, Gooley oversaw the creation of a letter in three languages that explained the importance of filling out a free and reduced price meals application each year. She also hired a Spanish interpreter to help at the annual school open house. Gooley has truly made it a point to ensure that "Hunger ends on our watch."
The 2009 National Outstanding Director of the Year is Wanda Grant, School Nutrition Director for Palm Springs Unified School District in California. An SNA member for 34 years, Grant has had a dynamic school nutrition career. When she first arrived in the Palm Springs Unified School District, only 54% of students participated in the school nutrition programs, while 80% of students qualified for free and reduced price meals. As director, program participation has risen to 92%. Grant successfully applied for a $1.5 million dollar grant to start a school breakfast program in her district, which has helped her achieve 55% participation in the program. She has engaged students in learning about good nutrition by sponsoring Nutrition Advisory Councils (NAC) in several district schools. Grant was a pioneer in coordinating school health programs in her community. In 1997, she started a Coordinated School Health Committee, which would later known as the Wellness Committee. Through this committee, Grant ensured that students would learn the multiple components of healthy living. Grant is dedicated to strengthening the school nutrition profession, leading and developing many professional development and customer service classes. She also partners with three universities to run a dietetic internship program, encouraging future nutrition professionals to consider the school nutrition field. Grant's career has spanned three states, where she has served the School Nutrition Association on the local, state, and national levels.
This year's Heart of the Program Award goes to Debbie Pridemore, a school nutrition employee at Rosedale Elementary School in Fayette County, W.V. Pridemore is recognized by her colleagues as "an outstanding person with

Explicit song lyrics
Mar 05, 2009 10:43 AM »
Asalaamu Alaikum
This goes back to the desensitisation issue we were talking about in respect of Facebook.
PARIS (AFP) – Can listening to sexually aggressive lyrics prompt teenagers to have sex at an earlier age?
That's the issue raised by a new study, and it could unleash a fierce debate over whether a teen's music player is potentially risky and -- if so -- what should or can be done about it.
In an unusual piece of research, investigators at the University of Pittsburgh graded the sexual aggressiveness of lyrics, using songs by popular artists on the US Billboard chart.
The lyrics were graded from the least to the most sexually degrading.
They then asked 711 students aged 15 to 16 at three local high schools about their music preferences and their sexual behaviour.
Overall, 31 percent of the teens had had intercourse.
But the rate was only 20.6 percent among those who had been least exposed to sexually degrading lyrics but 44.6 percent among those highly exposed to the most degrading lyrics.
The study's lead author, Brian Primack, said music by itself was not the direct spark for sex but helped mould perception and was thus "likely to be a factor" in sexual development.
"These lyrics frequently portray aggressive males subduing submissive females, which may lead adolescents to incorporate this 'script' for sexual experience into their world view," he told AFP.
The study took social factors, educational attainment and ethnicity into account.
"Non-degrading" lyrics described sex in a non-specific way and as a mutually consensual act, while "degrading" lyrics described sexual acts as a purely physical, graphic and dominant act.
"Lyrics describing degrading sex tend to portray sex as expected, direct and uncomplicated," said the paper, which appeared last week in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
"Such descriptions may offer scripts that adolescents feel compelled to play out, whether they are cast in the role of either the female or the male partner."
Steven Martino, author of a study published in 2000 that also made the same association between music and sexual behaviour, said the findings were a wakeup call.
"The need [is] for parents to be aware so that they can place limits and criticise and understand what their children are listening to," said Martino, a behavioural scientist in Pittsburgh with the Rand Corporation.
More than 750,000 American teenagers become pregnant each year, giving the United States one of the highest rates of teenage pregnancies in the rich world, according to figures quoted in the study. Nearly a quarter of all female teenagers in the United States have a sexually-transmitted disease.
Nearly a quarter of a century ago, lyrics by Prince on his album "Purple Rain" prompted wives of senior politicians in Washington, led by Tipper Gore, to set up the Parents Music Resource Center.
They pushed for the music industry to develop guidelines and a rating system for lyrics, similar to the ratings for movies. The system was criticised by many as unworkable and counter-productive, making it more daring for teens to buy songs they deemed taboo.
"Government needs to help parents to regulate the industry," said Helen Ward, president of the Kids First Parents Association of Canada.
Today's technology means it is "physically impossible" for parents to monitor what their children listened to or watched on their MP3, she said.
But Raymond MacDonald, a specialist in music psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University, described it as "a perennial debate that cropped up with artists like Frankie Goes to Hollywood, the Sex Pistols and Elvis Presley before that."
"Do we really need a solution to the problem?", he asked.
MacDonald said that even if every generation rehashes the discussion differently, there's an important difference today: age lines have blurred and now everyone is listening to everything.
"Maybe we should do a study to see if the music has as a bad influence on grandparents," he said wryly.
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

I never thought much about it when i was in my teens and twenties. I would have refuted this article back then. Looking back I can see some direct correlations.
Becoming a Muslim (at the level i am now) was a very gradual up climb for me. Being raised in this society you become desensitised to the 'filth' all around you.
The best barometer for me was when i had Ali. All of a sudden you are super aware of your environment. I can't tell you how many Cd's I stopped listening to and shows I stopped watching. Previously it was just music noise and i did not pay religious attention to the words.
What a shock it is to listen to some of that stuff with a child's old ears and sponge like brain.

Explicit song lyrics are not limited to the English language - have you heard ... umm....I mean, did you know songs in other languages are getting just as bad if not worse as their languages have deeper meaning even if your not saying things "explicitly" !!
Arabic songs seem nice when you start running out of nasheeds... until you realize every other word is ... Habibi or something like that!!
Or the degeneration of Urdu and Hindi lyrics to something that is now borderline disgusting...umm... all we can do now is tune into the all news radio stations!!
Your heart will not truly open until you understand Surah 21 : Verse 92 (Al-Anbiya: The Prophets)
