Few parents want to face the idea that their teens are having sex — but research shows that many teens are sexually active by high school, potentially putting themselves at risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). When it comes to teens and sex, the key is discussing the importance of contraception before sexual activity begins.
When broaching the topic of teens and sex, it's never too late to talk about abstinence. Whether you feel strongly that sex before marriage is wrong or you simply want your teen to postpone sex until he or she is more mature, explain your feelings to your teen. If you share the reasons behind your beliefs, your teen may be more likely to understand and adopt your values.
Also ask your teen to think about his or her own values and hopes for the future — and consider how sex might affect them. Explain that teens and sex can be a risky combination. The only sure way to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes and HIV, is to practice abstinence from sex — oral, vaginal and anal. Abstinence can also save your teen some emotional stress if his or her relationship ends. Remind your teen that there are many nonsexual ways he or she can show feelings for someone.
Understanding birth control methods is an important life skill for everyone. Whether your teen decides to have sex or wait, make sure your teen knows how to prevent pregnancy and protect himself or herself from sexually transmitted infections. Discuss with your teen:
Don't be afraid that talking to your teen about contraception will encourage him or her to have sex. Your teen is likely curious about sex and contraception, whether or not you bring up the topic. By being open and honest, you can help your teen make informed decisions and act more responsibly when he or she decides to have sex — whether it's now or years in the future.
If you're having trouble talking to your teen about contraception, ask your teen's doctor for help. He or she may offer advice on how to talk to your teen and accurately answer questions about contraception.

For Immediate Release: Tuesday, March 15, 2011
USDA Report Puts Minnesota Ahead of Most States in Clean Energy Use on Farms
(ST. PAUL, MN) Minnesota farmers are leading the clean energy revolution in the agriculture world, according to a recent report from the USDA. The On-Farm Renewable Energy Production Survey issued just last month puts Minnesota farms ahead of the pack when it comes to methane production as well as the number and capacity of small wind turbines.
"Clean energy is critical to a green economy and jobs as well as a healthy environment for our children and future generations," said Mike Rothman, Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which houses the state's Office of Energy Security. Clean energy is energy that comes from natural sources, such as sun, wind, water, biomass, that are renewable or naturally replenished. Energy efficiency and conservation are also considered to be clean energy measures. "It's re-assuring to see the state's farmers embrace clean energy technologies and realize real energy and long-term cost savings as a result."
Minnesota farms are home to 144 small wind turbines with an average generator capacity of 20 kilowatts, the report found, putting the state in first place for the installed capacity of 2.88 MW from small turbines. Minnesota ranked No. 4 behind California, Texas and Colorado for number of turbines. The majority of the state's turbines were installed between 2005 and 2009.
In addition, while Minnesota has only 4 percent of the nation's farm-based methane digesters -- which use manure to produce methane and electricity -- those digesters produce twice the national average. Minnesota is No. 1 in the nation with measured production of 69.1 million cubic feet of methane per year. The national average is 30.5 million cubic feet per year.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture administers a Methane Digester Loan Program to help supplement the funds needed for livestock producers in Minnesota to begin installing digesters on their farms.
"The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is pleased to see our state's efforts in on-farm renewable energy highlighted in USDA's recent survey," MDA Commissioner Dave Frederickson said. "MDA's methane digester loan program helps by providing zero-interest loans to farmers to finance equipment and construction."
The trend of Minnesota farmers investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy still continues today. In 2010, nine new solar energy systems were installed on Minnesota farms with the stimulus funds from the Minnesota Department of Commerce.
The USDA report, available on the USDA's website, provides information on energy produced by wind turbines, solar panels, and methane digesters that were in operation on farms in 2009. The energy survey provides an inventory of farm-generated energy practices with detailed data relating to the category or type of energy produced (wind, solar, and manure/methane digester), installation cost, percent of cost from outside funding, year installed, and total amount of utility savings from the use of on-farm renewable energy production.
Consumers and businesses interested in clean energy systems should visit the OES website at www.energy.mn.gov (click on "Renewables") and the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society website at www.mnrenewables.org

It's ma'am as in ham, not ma'am as in farm. Lower class people, or domestic servants would say "mum" when referring to their employers, but that hasn't been the case for about 100 years. I suppose some regional accents could pronounce "ma'am" as "mum" but I'm struggling to think which. Cockney, perhaps. These days, mum is what we call our mothers. It's not got anything to do with the Queen.
As a new troupe director and theatre instructor with only two sections of theatre, plus two other preps for Creative Writing and a reading class, I'd like to say I was entirely pro-active in responsibly planning for the school year 2013/2014 with rigorous, academic and engaging instruction across all my content areas. I'd like to say that I read around as much as I could, and was able to judiciously select only the relevant materials from which to start building the school's drama program, and have an amazing, hassle-free and stress free first year, smug in the satisfaction of a job well done.
Unfortunately, summer happened.
Summer brought with it a slew of other responsibilities, the primary one being that I spend essential and needed time with my really rather incredibly fun family. I also spent a month as a facilitator for the Tampa Bay Area Writing Project, mentoring teachers in the teaching of writing and earning a small crust for what is incredibly satisfying, rewarding and energizing work. But I still didn't get around to planning my year out.
Back in February, I received an exciting call from Jim Palmarini, who
told me that I had won the Educational Theatre Association's nationwide
Democracyworks essay contest. As a result, I would have the chance to
deliver my essay at Arts Advocacy Day in Washington, D.C.
My trip to Washington, D.C., this March was the thrill of a lifetime.
A highlight of the trip was lobbying on Capitol Hill for a cause that
means so much to me, arts education. It was both fun and educational to
enter the Senate and the House of Representatives to explain the
importance of the arts. While I was missing my government class in
school, I was witnessing government in action in our nation's capitol!
So many other aspects of National Arts Advocacy Day were equally
exhilarating – from talking to other arts advocates, to learning about
the issues, to listening to Maureen Dowd's incredible lecture at the
Kennedy Center, to hearing from members of Congress who support the
arts, to meeting Alec Baldwin.
One of the best parts of my experience was reading my essay to the
general assembly. In my speech, I explained that I wrote a children's
book, Once Upon a Masterpiece: An Art History Adventure
One of the main goals
for our Theatre Education Community is to help theatre students and
professionals from all over connect and identify with each other in order to
build resources and support the theatre education field. We plan to shine a
spotlight on a different member every other week by conducting a simple
Our first Spotlight
Member is Scott Piehler, troupe director of Troupe 6745 at Providence Christian
Academy in Lilburn, GA. He's been a positive presence in the Community,
offering prompt and helpful advice and opinions on a range of topics, including
technical theatre, play selection and advocacy. I asked Scott to answer a few questions for us so we
could learn a little more about him.
School Theatre is for rich schools."
I was actually told that – by a
PRINCIPAL – when I went in to talk about spending a day in his
school & asked why there wasn't a Theatre program.
And it isn't
the first or only time I've heard comments like that.
As I travel, I've learned that in
regions with a higher concentration of Title I schools, many schools
have music programs, maybe fine art programs, but often not Theatre
programs. If an area is fortunate, there will be a Magnet School for
Arts that kids can apply to attend part-time. But
the past month it has been near to impossible to find the kind of
Theatre programs I want to visit. So many of these schools have
shifted curricular focus to accommodate for repairing low test scores
- accommodations which often result in losses of arts.
Howard Sherman, former executive director of the American Theatre Wing who is now a business consultant, writer, and passionate advocate for educational theatre, summed up an April 2 hearing on a school play cancellation in Plaistow, New Hampshire in a tweet.
"How does a high school show get canceled over complaints about content, and then no one comes forward to voice complaints?" he wrote.
Administrators in New Hampshire's Timberlane School District had scheduled the hearing to provide for community comment on their decision to cancel the scheduled 2015 production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd at Timberlane Regional High School. Of the dozens of speakers among the 150 people who attended the hearing, only the administrators supported the cancellation. Their position: the musical is "too dark" and unsuitable for family audiences.
Laura Lingar, a senior at Timberlane, responded to that argument in a way that might have been enlightening to school officials about what students learn in theatre. She's planning to train as a firefighter when she graduates and is already enrolled in an EMT class. She recently worked her first shift in the field, and she said her school theatre experiences helped her get through a hard night.
A glorious day in Washington: Arts Advocacy Day 2014
This week was really important in Cincinnati, the home of the national EdTA office. Baseball season started with a parade and gloriously sunny day. The home team lost, but that was a minor detail—we didn't win the battle but maybe we'll win the war of 162 games. And that makes me think of what took place the previous week in Washington, D.C.—Arts Advocacy Day 2014. In that glorious event (not so sunny, but it didn't matter) several hundred arts advocates from throughout the country converged on our nation's capitol for two days of training and visits to legislators' offices to "make the ask" on behalf of arts and arts education. Among the advocates we're twenty-two members from the Educational Theatre Association—both students and adults—from nine states: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The group included the entire

Jim Curtis:
So, this past weekend was my second time participating in Arts Advocacy Day, an event hosted each spring in Washington, D.C. by American for the Arts (http://www.americansforthearts.org). My second year was just as exciting as my first, but brought to mind, and put in perspective, my experience last year.
Before I attended last year, I had heard a lot about the event and been told by others who had attended that I had to attend. They all said, "You have to attend Arts Advocacy Day." So I went to Washington last year and was excited to learn about advocacy. The learning sessions were relevant and fact-filled and detailed. Training lasted an entire day (but was followed immediately with a performance at the Kennedy Center by Yo - Yo Ma). Experts presented lots of research and lots of statistics and lots of numbers. For a person who believes himself to be number dyslectic, I was simply overwhelmed. It was all convincing information, but outside of my ability to remember and use it fluently, like so many of the other advocates. I felt unprepared.

Targeted Portfolio: Expanding Coverage Funding Program Now Open
The goal of the Expanding Coverage Initiative is to reduce the uninsured rate in Missouri to less than 5 percent in 5 years. A new Request for Applications (RFA) invites organizations in the MFH region to apply for funds to assist eligible Missourians with enrolling in new health insurance coverage options and affordability programs made available through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Visit the Expanding Coverage Through Consumer Assistance page for more details about the program and to download the Request for Proposals.
The study, funded in part by MFH, uses a multidisciplinary approach to examine the health and wellbeing of African Americans in St. Louis. The project will include a series of policy briefs, recommendations for change, along with an overview of the current state of affairs. The public is invited to attend a Community Conference on May 30. Learn more about For the Sake of All here.
A new fact sheet, produced by researchers at Washington University, examines the characteristics of the uninsured in Missouri and makes comparisons to the demographics of the uninsured nationally. The brief provides information on the uninsured by poverty status, age, ethnicity, geography, gender, family status, employment, and education.
In addition to the Health Insurance Marketplace educational materials available on the Cover Missouri website, the initiative has launched a mass media awareness campaign that includes radio, Facebook, and banner ads; as well as two videos (available here and here that can be embedded onto your website!

Almond Cake with Orange-Flower Water Syrup
Author Notes: I'm currently studying abroad in Strasbourg, France, so I thought it appropriate to make a classic French yogurt cake to keep around for breakfast. In France, orange-flower water and almond meal are both a bit easier to come by than in the States, so I wanted to create a cake that would take advantage of "local" ingredients. I took a classic recipe, replaced half the flour with almond meal, topped the cake with slivered almonds, and then made a simple syrup inspired by Ina Garten's syrup used for her lemon loaf cake. The results are fragrant and moist, and even feel a bit virtuous (the almond flour and yogurt add protein of course). The cake keeps for days in the fridge. Feels perfect with the arrival of spring. - amusebouche - amusebouche
Food52 Review: This almond cake bakes up a lovely golden brown, perfumed and moistened by the orange-flower water syrup. Almond meal lends the cake a hearty texture yet it remains light and sweet. It would pair nicely with tea and a dollop of creme fraiche or unsweetened whipped cream. - A&M - A&M
Makes one 9 x 5 inch loaf
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup natural yogurt
- 1 1/2 cup sugar (separated)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup almond meal
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- juice of 1 orange
- 2 teaspoons orange flower water
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds (not toasted)
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter and flour a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Combine eggs, yogurt, 1 cup sugar, oil, and vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, almond meal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add gradually to wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan, sprinkle sliced almonds evenly over the top, and bake for 40 minutes, or until a knife comes out of the center clean.
- While the cake is baking, make the syrup: juice the orange and mix with remaining 1/2 cup sugar and orange flower water. Heat in small saucepan over stovetop until sugar has dissolved (5-7 minutes).
- When cake comes out of the oven, let stand 10 minutes, then use toothpick to poke holes over the top and pour the syrup over. The syrup may puddle at the top- don't worry, it will sink in. Allow to cool before serving.
- This recipe is a Wildcard Contest Winner!

Is it possible to substitute the orange flower water with rosewater or rose essence? If so, what could replace the orange juice?
This looks delicious and moist!
Thank you.

hmm, I might be careful with rosewater, since it has a stronger floral flavor than orange flower water. skip the OJ and just use a 1/2 cup of water or so. Interested to see how it turns out!

Sorry yes doubling the recipe .and useing a fluted tube pan .
3 months ago prissyboo
Diane, there is so little batter. Are you using a SMALL Bundt pan ( not to be confused with the Bundtlette size ) or are you doubling the recipe? Are you using the traditional ( original ) Bundt pan, ending up with most of the pan empty of batter? This recipe would leave my classic size Bundt pan 3/4 empty of batter. No cake is going to rise that much! I also have a tube pan, but this amount of batter would leave my tube pan almost empty!!!
3 months ago Diane Wolk
You can try bundt or tube pan as I call it .
This is the best way to stop sinking in the middle
Have made it lots.
Just remember to butter and flour the pan well
And cool it in pan for 30min or so

Based on other people's reviews, how can you prevent the cake from sinking??? Seems like it happened to a lot of you. Would love to try this recipe.
2 months ago amusebouche
Hi Prissyboo! I have never had problems with this cake dipping in the center, but I think it's because I always bake it in a 9x5 loaf pan. Not sure what would cause it to sink so significantly, but if you stick right to the recipe it should work well! Good luck!
3 months ago prissyboo
Yes, this nice little sweet loaf of cake still dips in the middle, each and every time I bake it. The trench is less severe when I beat the egg mixture longer. Would sincerely like to hear from amusebouche as to whether or not she has ever avoided the dip, and if so ... HOW??? Like amusebouche, I have convinced myself that the cake is healthy : )) and it is so much fun to bake!
3 months ago Nargess
I just made this cake and the middle has Sunk miserably!!! I noticed a comment by Prissyboo said she made it 25 times and it sinks every time!!! Still too warm to eat so don't know how it tastes, but presentation is as important to me, so sinking is not good! Maybe if I use AP flour like the original recipe.

This is a good cake. I added a teaspoon of cardamom powder also. Very tasty.
6 months ago jevyn
I really like this cake. This is a nice simple cake that will impress people. I used coconut sugar instead of white sugar, vanilla extract with bourbon, and blanched almond pieces. I also only used half the syrup. That ended up being just the right amount. I was afraid of it being too sweet.

Had no problems getting the cake out , well buttered and flowered the tin let it cool for thirty minutes or so .
9 months ago prissyboo
Diane, thank you for sharing the tube pan info. I had considered a Bundt pan, but feared the cake might not release properly. Were you able to take the cake out of the tube pan intact, or did you cut slices while the cake was still in the pan?
9 months ago prissyboo
Diane, I have made this cake perhaps 25 times ... usually use the loaf pan called for. Have made it in glass, as well as regular. Regardless, the cake ALWAYS dips or sinks in the middle. Tried it in a round cake pan, with SLIGHTLY better results. This being considered, I would recommend using two pans, rather than one large pan. See no reason the recipe could not be doubled.

I doubled the recipe and baked it in a lage flute tube tin .turned out beautiful .
Everyone loved it . Had a little batter left so made cup cakes .

What a delicious cake! The almond meal gives the cake a very soft, marzipan-like texture. I also added amaretto for added flavor into the syrup. I used Greek Fage 2% yogurt and that seemed to work just fine. Definitely will make it again!
11 months ago prissyboo
Forgot to add that I have not tried sour cream. The Greek Fage yogurt is excellent. Use the 2% fat, not the non-fat. The small container is short by about an ounce ... not to worry. If you choose to go in a different direction ( not making an orange flavored cake ), then add 1/2 tsp. more extract. If adding fresh pitted cherries, add about 1/2 tsp almond extract in addition to the 1 tsp. vanilla. You may glaze with any simple powdered sugar recipe. This cake is so versatile, and quite delicious served with coffee or tea. NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD WANT FOR DESSERT.
11 months ago prissyboo
Just whisk almond meal into rest of dry ingredients.
Best to use electric mixer when beating eggs and sugar, otherwise your cake will sink in the center. Also better to test with a toothpick, not a knife. If you intend to add the orange glaze, put a good tsp. of orange zest in the cake batter ... without this, the cake has very little orange flavor.
11 months ago Nargess
should we put the almond meal trough a sieve like we do flour? and has anyone used sour cream in place of yogurt? thanks in advance :)

Combative and determined to get her way, Margaret Thatcher divided opinion down the middle in life — and in death.
In a Feb. 20, 1985 file photo, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is applauded by Vice President George Bush, left, as House Speaker Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr. looks on just before she addressed a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress, in Washington. Thatchers former spokesman, Tim Bell, said that the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had died Monday morning, April 8, 2013, of a stroke. She was 87. (AP Photo/Bob Daugherty, File)
Floral tributes and memorabilia are seen outside the house of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who died from a stroke at the age of 87, London, Monday, April 8, 2013. (AP Photo/Sang Tan)
Many leaders lauded Thatcher for her steely determination to modernize Britain's industrial landscape, even at the cost of strikes and riots, and to stand beside the United States as the west triumphed in the Cold War versus the Soviet Union. Others saw a pitiless tyrant who preferred conflict to compromise.
British Prime Minister David Cameron lauded his 1980s predecessor as "a great Briton," but others — particularly Europe's socialists who often clashed with her — were less enamored in their reactions to the death Monday of the conservative icon.
Flags at Buckingham Palace, Parliament and across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-staff. Buckingham Palace said Queen Elizabeth II would send a private message of sympathy to the Thatcher family. Government officials began preparations for a London funeral with military honors at St. Paul's Cathedral next week, followed by a private cremation.
"As our first woman prime minister, Margaret Thatcher succeeded against all the odds," Cameron said in Madrid. He cut short his trip to Spain and canceled a visit to France to return to London for the funeral preparations.
"The real thing about Margaret Thatcher is that she didn't just lead our country. She saved our country," Cameron said, "and I believe she'll go down as the greatest British peacetime prime minister."
In Washington, President Barack Obama said many Americans "will never forget her standing shoulder to shoulder with President (Ronald) Reagan, reminding the world that we are not simply carried along by the currents of history. We can shape them with moral conviction, unyielding courage and iron will."
And former first lady Nancy Reagan said her husband and Thatcher "enjoyed a very special relationship" driven by a common hatred of Communism. "Ronnie and Margaret were political soul mates," she said in a statement that lauded Thatcher's "clear vision and strong determination to stand up for her beliefs at a time when so many were afraid to rock the boat."
In Poland, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said his country should erect a statue of the British leader. In a tweet he praised Thatcher as "a fearless champion of liberty, stood up for captive nations, helped free world win the Cold War."
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who ousted the Conservative Party from power seven years after Thatcher's resignation, conceded that Thatcher had been right to challenge labor union power — the traditional bedrock for Blair's own Labour Party.
"Very few leaders get to change not only the political landscape of their country but of the world. Margaret was such a leader. Her global impact was vast," said Blair, who credited Thatcher with being "immensely supportive" despite their opposing views on many issues.
"You could not disrespect her character or her contribution to Britain's national life," Blair said.
Not all Britons agreed. Several hundred people gathered in Glasgow and in London's Brixton neighborhood for impromptu celebrations, complete with party hats and streamers.
The National Union of Miners — which tussled with Thatcher in a long 1984-85 strike, and lost — expressed condolences to Thatcher's family, but said: "The damage caused by her fatally flawed politics sadly lingers on. Good Riddance."
A cooler breeze also blew from across the English Channel, where many of the men who ran European governments in the 1980s expressed admiration for Thatcher's toughness mixed with femininity — but not her European Union-bashing politics.

Stalemate over 'Thalaiva' continues
By PTI - CHENNAI
Published: 10th August 2013 06:33 PM
Last Updated: 10th August 2013 07:11 PM
The stalemate over popular Tamil actor Vijay's latest film "Thalaiva" continued on Saturday with no word yet on the date of its release, which has been put off in Tamil Nadu following threats received by some theaters.
The producers and theatre owners, who have refused to screen the film over security concerns, failed to resolve the standoff in a meeting late last night, industry sources said.
Barring Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, the film hit screens in other places yesterday, disappointing Vijay fans in the state several of whom opted to travel to neighbouring states to view it, industry sources said.
Breaking his silence, Vijay in a statement said due to "unavoidable circumstances" the movie was unable to get released in Tamil Nadu.
However, he expressed hope that it would be released soon. "Till that time, I appeal you (his fans) all to remain in calm," he said.
The movie, directed by A Vijay, has Amala Paul as the lead actress and Vijay the hero.
It was expected to get released in at least 500 screens in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry yesterday but ran into trouble with some theatre owners here receiving bomb threats from a little known outfit opposed to the film producers 'Vendhar Movies'.
Besides, the film has also been dragged to court with one Karnan, hailing from Tirunelveli, claiming that it was based on the life of his grandfather S S Kandaswamy and his father S K Ramaswamy, who lived in Dharavi in Mumbai.

Jane, I am one (male) who was unable to ride my Brooks B17 Special. After much advise from fellow forum members on adjustments etc I ran into medical issues that I just had to pass it on to a friend. Beautiful saddle.
However, my wife now has a Brooks B17S (woman's version) and she loves it. It is the only saddle she has been comfortable riding. She is still in a break in period but has told me she loves it.
Just thought I'd throw this in.
If your medical issue was prostrate, Monarch Leather in Wisconsin will put a prostrate friendly cut out in. Monarch Leather is the manufacturer for Selle AnAtomica saddles. Contact Selle AnAtomica for details.
Has she had a fit using a qualified bike-fit professional? Most of these types of problems can me alleviated with a good bike fit.
Last time I checked, Monarch Leather, the leather vendor to SA was charging $100 to cut a Brooks, so buying a Brooks saddle and sending it to Monarch Leather is an expensive way to go.
My question is how do most of you find the time to ride across the U.S. with full time jobs and mortgages and the rest of the responsibilities of everyday life. I have a dream to cycle across the country but don't have 3 months to take off. Thanks Jim
Saw your post in the Classified section and it seems taking a 65 lb dog and

2. A water resistant blanket such as Tuffo brand with carrying case.
3. Water Proof Seal Line Bags for food.
4. Sleeping Bag for doggy.
5. Clothes and padded doggy shoes
goes against the minimalist and lightweight touring frame of mind...

Is genetic testing available for Gardner syndrome?
Yes, genetic testing is available for Gardner syndrome. Genetic testing can be used to clarify the genetic status of at-risk family members when a clinically diagnosed relative has undergone molecular genetic testing and is found to have a mutation in the APC gene.[1] Consideration of molecular genetic testing of young, at-risk family members is appropriate for guiding medical management. Because colon screening for those at risk for Gardner syndrome begins as early as age ten years, molecular genetic testing is generally offered to individuals by this age.[1]

"This was my first TinyPrints order, so I was anxious to see how it would turn out... I could not have been happier with the finished product! The design looked great and everything fit nicely. The cards were shipped promptly and arrived quickly! It was easy to make and the quality of the paper (I chose matte) was excellent. These are beautiful cards that will serve as an excellent keepsake of my son's first year!"
"Everybody just loved this invite postcard! I had put in a professional photo of my little guy. You're able to personalize it with their name and party info. I received it in glossy print which is perfect. I really liked the touch of having an RSVP website included, so far it's working out nice. It's kind of fun. One thing though, I would have liked to write some additional info on the back of the card. I had jotted the info down with a black sharpie which worked alright. But I wish I was able to add one of those lines and put in the additional info."
"Usually I find something wrong with a card, etc-there is none to be found with this card! We did add the rounded corners. We wanted a card to invite folks to a party as well as one could send to family far away just to keep them in the loop and to see a recent pic of the baby. This seemed perfect. It really came out awesome! And yes, friends actually texted us how cute out invite was."
"I picked these invitations for my son's 3rd Birthday. They are adorable! I have ordered invitations from Tiny Prints before and I am ALWAYS satisfied! I will continue to order from this site in the future. The quality of their products is outstanding!"
"I spent a lot of time online searching for the perfect invitations, and I found these. They arrived much sooner than was expected, and came in absolutely perfect. The paper is thick and the printing is exactly what you would hope. Completely satisfied, but I have also never had a bad experience with Tiny Prints!"

Washington, Campbell named to Pro Football Focus' Top 51 NFL Players list
The Arizona Cardinals have certainly had their share of ups and downs so far this season. Riding a current five-game losing streak as they hit the bye week, they're definitely trending down.
But according to ProFootballFocus.com, a couple standout defenders' efforts have not gone unnoticed.
The website put out its list of the Top 51 players to this point of the National Football League season, and two Cardinals cracked the list.
Defensive end Calais Campbell earned the 36th spot on the list for his dynamic play.
Incredibly productive on every down, he's gone from a guy who generated a lot of pressure, to a player who can (and does) do it all. Regularly commands a lot of attention from offenses, but has still managed to make 24 defensive stops and bat four passes.
Campbell's teammate, inside linebacker Daryl Washington, was ranked 17th and lauded for his playmaking ability.
Washington continues to make plays for the Cardinals even if his reckless abandon style has seen him miss 11 tackles already this year. At times has struggled in coverage but his inside linebacker leading 62 tackles and eight sacks show just how much of a playmaker he is.
Both players were named to Mike Sando's midseason All-NFC West team, along with wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, earlier Wednesday.

Daniel Logan, known to countless Star Wars fans as Boba Fett, is in Germany right now for Jedi-Con, an official Star Wars Fan Club event. He's graciously agreed to be our eyes and ears on the convention floor and chimes in with this report:
Hello Everyone!
This is Daniel Logan giving you report from Dusseldorf Germany on Jedi Con 2008. I arrived into the Dusseldorf Airport last night. I had a long flight from Los Angeles and connected through London's Heathrow Airport. This is my first visit to Germany! When I arrived into Dusseldorf I was glad to see the hotel was literally just outside the airport. I was able to check into the new Maritim Hotel, also where the convention is being held. It is a very nice hotel and the convention area is very nice as well.
(The view from my hotel)
The convention started today. All the guests started meeting the attendees at 2PM. The list of guests is: Steve Sansweet, Jeremy Bulloch, Daniel Logan (that's me), Orli Shoshan, Robert Watts, Mike Edmonds, Barrie Holland, Christian Simpson, Derek Lyons and Tim Dry. We were all there until 7PM.
(Mike Edmonds, who played Logray, with pics of me)
At 8:30PM there were the opening ceremonies. It was mostly in German, so I do not know what was said. They did have a funny film to open, again in German, but it was well done and had some funny visuals- referring to Star Trek. And after the short film a Borg from Star Trek came on stage, killed an Imperial Officer and then was promptly killed by a Sith. Then two Jedi came on stage and had a duel to the death with the Sith. Unfortunately, the Sith did not survive. After the stage demonstration, all the guests were introduced by the Master of Ceremonies, Robert Eiba. I was last to be introduced, just after Jeremy Bulloch.
(Opening Ceremonies)
Please take a look at the pictures I sent over. There will be more tomorrow. Hope you enjoy my reports!

Various German fan groups gather, including R2 builders and 501st.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By Eric Russell email@example.com
Staff Writer
U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Angus King are downplaying the significance of an advertisement by the National Rifle Association that urges Maine voters to convince their senators to reject President Obama's gun-control agenda.
Sen. Angus King speaks at a news conference at Bath Iron Works on Thursday. At right is Sen. Susan Collins.
Gregory Rec / Staff Photographer
"I haven't seen it," King said Thursday, referring to a full-page ad in Thursday's Bangor Daily News. "This story isn't going away. I'm working on the issue. I've sat down with gun owners and sportsmen in Maine. I've sat down with gun control advocates in Maine. I'm trying to come up with what I think are the most effective proposals that will actually diminish gun violence while at the same time protect Second Amendment rights."
Collins said she had not seen the ad, which mentions the senators by name. Like King, she said she has met with people on all sides of the gun debate, which was renewed by the mass shootings at an elementary school in Connecticut in December.
"I do believe that the common thread in all these horrific mass shootings is mental illness, and I was surprised that the president did not even talk about that in his State of the Union address" on Feb. 12, Collins said.
Republicans, prodded by the NRA, say they are focused on improving the mental-health system and enforcing laws already on the books, instead of creating new laws. Obama has called for universal background checks and a ban on some guns and high-capacity magazines, measures that the NRA opposes.
The NRA ad, which ran in daily newspapers in five states, is headlined: "Will Obama's gun control proposals actually work?" The next line reads: "His own experts say 'No.'"
The ad features a memo from the National Institute of Justice to the president that appears to say that his proposals would not work without universal registration or confiscation of some guns. It ends with a call for citizens to call their senators and "tell them to oppose Obama's gun control proposals and to fix our broken mental health system."
University of Maine political science professor Mark Brewer said the featured memo is meaningless, given that the president gets thousands of memos each week on a variety of viewpoints, and no one memo informs the president's policies.
"But that doesn't mean that the average person knows this," Brewer said. "They could think 'Obama's own people are telling him not to do this.'"
Jacqueline Otto, an NRA spokeswoman, said the powerful lobbying group placed ads in newspapers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Maine, North Carolina and West Virginia.
Four of those states have Democratic senators who are up for re-election in 2014. In Maine, Collins, a moderate Republican, is up for re-election.
Asked whether Collins was targeted because of her less-than-enthusiastic support for the NRA, Otto said the ad is simply meant to "educate and inform voters in Maine."
Brewer, however, said the NRA could be sending Collins a message.
"There is no way she is vulnerable in the general election," he said of Collins, a three-term incumbent. "But this might be an opportunity for the NRA to shore up the support of someone they are not 100 percent sure of."
Collins recently received a C+ rating from the NRA, which is "horrible for a Republican," Brewer said.
She split from her party in 2004 when she voted to extend the federal ban on assault weapons.
Collins received nearly $20,000 in campaign donations from the NRA's political action committee from 1996 to 2002, but has not received any contributions since then.
She also received more than $17,000 in contributions from Richard Dyke, former owner of Bushmaster Firearms Inc. in Windham, but none since 2007.

Circuit Works Sucks – In my opinion, this business and its leaders are disorganized and unprofessional. When we bought two sets of passes to take five classes, we thought it would be as easy as advertised to get the classes going. We called up on a Wednesday and scheduled an appointment for Saturday morning. When we showed for the class, 20 minutes early, we were told that the class was full and they only reserved one spot. This was untrue. The representative, Maureen, was dismissive and rude. After talking to the manager, Justin, we were told we could come the following morning for the 9:30 a.m. class. While disappointed, we confirmed the time with Maureen for 9:30 a.m. on Sunday. When we showed up the following morning at 9:15 a.m. for the class, we were again told the class was full and in fact started at 9:15 a.m. Either Maureen the previous day was negligent in confirming the start time or intentionally misled us. In either case, after wasting two mornings and dealing with some of the dumbest people I think I have ever met, I can say, in my opinion, that this is a terribly run business that makes false promises and engages in unfair business practices. I will get my money back. I would not recommend this business to anyone.
Thank you for your comment. We operate on a first come-first serve basis. Contrary to your claim, on both occassions the offer to reserve a spot in the class was declined thus running you the risk of not being let into the class. We did make several attempts to remedy the situation, although those again were denied. We hope that you and others understand the necessity to maintain certain policies to ensure that all of our clients (new and old) can access classes equally.
WOW! WOW! WOW!!! – Best workout I have ever had!!! The staff is AMAZING! Raphael and Alba are AMAZING! Everything about this exercise routine is AMAZING! I can't get enough and plan on continuing these classes for years to come. I highly suggest going to Circuit Works!!
good gym, bad policies – some of the exercises were questionable, but most shocking...classes are a whopping $28 bucks per person...for a good ten folks a class...yet the trainers get a measly $10 an hour!
Not cool.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortuantely the trainer rate is incorrect, our trainers are paid more than that, and the level of involvement of the workout is the reason our classes are $28. It takes a lot for us to run a group session, a factor we are working on improving so that we may offer the most competitve rates possible to our members. That said, all of our packages average out to a significantly lower rate.
Circuit Works rocks! – I've never encountered a workout that I enjoy more than this class. It is hands down the best workout I've ever experienced. Raphael, Alba, and the staff are amazing and make you feel like part of the Circuit Works family. My friends that I've brought with me have all loved it and have come back for more. I can't get enough of it and I can tell you that you will not get a better workout anywhere in LA...Circuit Works delivers results. And there's a new Brentwood location!!!!
Best workout EVER! – Circuit works is amazing! It is the best workout you will get anywhere in los angeles and your body will thank you. It is very fast-paced, fun, high energy class with great music. The classes are small enough that you feel a part of the "circuit works family" and you get attention from the trainers, but they are big enough not break your budget. I used circuit works nutrition and workout program and lost 40 lbs in 4 months!!!!!!
A whole new level!!!! – This is thee craziest, most awesome workout ever! I've worked out for years and have never experienced a workout to this degree. The music and amazing teachers keep you motivated and in the right state of mind.
This is a must DO!!!
Circuit Works is GREAT – Circuit Works is great-
Knowledgable trainers with helpful suggestions. All of the benefits of working out with a personal trainer & being in the group exercise environment. It is a great place to go to learn more about health & fitness, get in shape & meet people.
I tell everyone about it- it is a great concept, especially for those who are short on time.
Being somebody that gets bored with workouts, this is the place for me- I love that each workout changes according to the day / time of the class.
Do your body a favor today- visit Circuit Works & have fun burning it off!
Best 1-hr. workout ever – Super workout -- Raphael kicks it up and keeps it at that level until the brutal end. You go from aerobic to anaerobic every few minutes -- different weight exercise every time. And the last 5 minutes are intense stomach exercises. Schedule is varied every day and the time goes by superfast. I recommend buying the package. This can fit into anyone's busy schedule.
Brilliant Concept! – I've belonged to several gyms over the years, worked out with personal trainers, done circuit training in a semi-private setting, taken yoga and pilates classes, but nothing compares to Circuitworks and the energy of Raphael's well-thought out program. The classes contain everything necessary to keep you in tip-top shape, and each session is different from the last, preventing the boredom that sometimes comes with the "same old" routine at other gyms. There are so many classes each day and the flexibility of on-line sign up makes it a very user-friendly! Having taken a bit of time off from exercise due to (gym) burn-out, I've been searching for the perfect class, and though I've only been going for a short while, Circuitworks definitely fits the bill.
A Great Workout... and time flys by! – I have tried all sorts of different exercise programs and Ciruitworks is the only one I've found that offers a "one stop shopping" workout experience. During a one hour class, we warm up, stretch and get right into it, alternating back and forth in one minute intervals of cardio and weight training. My heart rate stays up (so I know I'm getting a great workout) and the variety of moving to different weight stations and cardio machines really makes the time fly by. The best part... I don't get bored! Unlike working out at my other gym, I'm not watching the clock. Every class ends with an awesome abs session and, before you know it, it's over. This really is the perfect workout!

Looking forward to celebrating the 65th aniversary of one of the most historic events in baseball history. The breaking of the color barrier in baseball led the way for many stars that followed the footsteps of Jackie. We salute you today, Jackie Robinson!
Also hoping to celebrate a Rockies (dare I say it?) sweep of the Dbacks!
A) Yes, I don't think that outside the Dodgers organization that they need to be honoring Robinson every single year. Man, he was a great guy and meant a lot, but it's gone over the line of overkill. Does the NBA or NFL honor their first black player every single year. Do you know who the second black player was? He was Larry Doby, played for the Indians and came into the league less than a year after Robinson. He was a CONSTANT all-star. He was a fan favorite. Take a look at his early stats, he was a super star too, but because he was a few months late nobody cares... http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dobyla01.shtml
B) The way in which the honor him is in horriblly poor taste. Putting the number 42 on every single player's back is extraordinarilly confusing to the fans watching the game. "Hey, who just hit that single?" Well I don't know either cause every fracking guy on both teams has the same number. If you have seats anywhere but the front row you've got to check the board every ten seconds to make sure.
I say the Dodgers do it every year and the rest of baseball does it every 5 or 10 years. That way it MEANS more than the annual, OMG I can't tell who is who because they are all wearing 42 event.
Plus IMO it is bad for baseball to constantly be looking back rather than forward. Focus on making keystone players and memories in TODAY rather than constantly be drudging up players like Robinson and Mantle all the time. The NLF has made football the biggest sport in America by building a game around what is going on TODAY. THey live in the now, not 65 years ago.
Actually Larry Doby also entered the league in 1947. The same year as Robinson.
Doby: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dobyla01.shtml
Robinson: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/robinja02.shtml
You guys need to get your history straight. Its been done since 1997 the 50th anniversary of the event. Its done every year on April 15 at whatever ballparks have games that day....so it isn't always celebrated at Coors Field every year.
The reason it is such a big deal is this.....yesterday at the game sitting behind us was a young boy and his father. I kept hearing the boy ask his dad why every player was wearing #42 that it was confusing, etc. The father took his time to explain to his young son the story of Jackie Robinson and his impact on the game and why it is celebrated.
Without all the players wearing #42 that discussion may have never taken place. It reminds us of what brought us to this place and it is imperative that history be passed along just as it was from this father (who probably learned it from his father) to his son.....the way it ought to be!
But you forget that baseball is a game and not a history lesson. This is why the NFL is exploding and MLB is so flat.
Do you know what really happened that day? That kid went to see a game with his dad, was horriblly confused by all the players having the same number, and as a result might not have enjoyed the finer points of that game. Result? Sure, maybe now he knows who the heck Robinson was, but at the cost of what might have been a magical moment that made him a lifelong fan.
I think you missed a very tender moment that you now are twisting into something that simply is speculation. The reason MLB does what it does on April 15th is because they always want to remember Mr. Robinson. By creating this tradition it pretty much insures he will never be forgotten.

As we look forward into this New Year, let's take a moment to reflect on some of the most heart-warming, inspirational, moving, and just plain amazing moments of this past year. The cheers that resonated in Nashville as the President announced the DACA program, the courage embraced by a DREAMer to pursue his passion, and the collective strength of dedicated AILA members helping deserving immigrants, are just a few of the stories that made us smile and proud to be a part of such a progressive and compassionate profession.
For the next 14 days, starting this Valentine's Day, we will share stories and moments that will lift your heart:
14) This April AILA Chapters will be rolling up their sleeves, serving their communities and taking action during the AILA month of service. Join us in D.C. on April 11th for the 2013 National Day of Action and in your community on April 20th for Citizenship Day 2013.
April 20th will mark the 7th year AILA members have been working on a national scale to provide free or low-cost assistance to eligible legal permanent residents who wish to apply for U.S. citizenship! And on April 11th hundreds of AILA members from around the country will descend on Washington D.C. and call on Congress to create a common sense immigration policy that recognizes the hardships and contributions of new Americans and aspiring citizens.
-Anu Joshi, AILA Grassroots Advocacy Associate
13) It is in that spirit that I speak to you tonight about a pressing problem, the need for adequate representation for a vulnerable population: immigrants. Immigrants often come to the United States in fear, escaping persecution, escaping poverty, speaking little or no English, uninformed as to whom to turn for competent legal advice. Too often, the lack of adequate counsel for immigrants all but eliminates the immigrant's hopes to live the American dream.
And what would the American dream have been, what would the United States be, without the dynamism, the energy, the cultures, the patriotic devotion of millions of immigrants who have contributed so much to this country? Everyone here tonight can easily answer that query, thinking about our individual experiences, our family experiences or those of our immigrant friends, relatives, or colleagues.
Hoping to raise awareness and to effect change, I took the occasion of the Marden Lecture of the NYC Bar to challenge the New York legal establishment and others interacting with that establishment (law firms, bar associations, nonprofits, corporate counsel, foundations, law schools, state and local government, the media, the immigration bar, senior lawyers and retirees, providers of continuing education and training, and think tanks) in order to increase efforts to help address the large-and largely unmet-legal needs in noncitizen communities. As I said justice should not depend upon the income level of immigrants. A lawyer's duty to serve those unable to pay is not an act of charity or benevolence, but rather one of professional responsibility, reinforced by the terms under which the state has granted to the legal profession effective control of the legal system.

12) So here I am relaxing on my couch watching the super bowl and all of the great commercials when I notice some landmarks I recognize. And then…
Watch Me
Forget Ray Lewis & the Harbowl. I'm cheering for CIR!
-Paul Leahy, AILA Component Relations Manager
11) AILA has worked to ensure that immigrants are competently represented, so they are not forced to use the often-unscrupulous services of a local notario or unauthorized immigration consultant. To this end, AILA has created StopNotarioFraud.org, a comprehensive consumer website providing information and resources to immigrants to avoid being defrauded by a notario, and where to get help if they are harmed. Consumer protection information is available in English and en Español. Also newly launched in 2012 – view the website in Chinese and Polish!
10) In January, just days after inauguration, President Obama and eight Senators (four Republicans and four Democrats) issued two independent proposals to overhaul our country's immigration laws. On January 29, President Obama spoke in Las Vegas on his proposal for comprehensive immigration reform, and while his speech did not offer specific policy proposals, the President's plan for creating a common sense immigration policy is outlined in his factsheet entitled: "Fixing the Broken Immigration System So Everyone Plays by the Same Rules." Most notably the President's plan does not tie the road to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented Americans to any border security triggers as the Senate plan does, although he does lay out plans to increase enforcement both at the border and at worksites.

9) Just a few days after the President announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program, I had the opportunity to celebrate with a church full of DREAMers who had recently graduated from high school. On June 26, we gathered at Lutheran Church of the Reformation in Washington, DC for the National Immigrant Youth Alliance's 2012 DREAM Act Graduation. The commencement program included a procession of the class of 2012, numerous inspirational speakers, beautiful music and the presentation of diplomas. Following the graduation ceremony, DREAMers and advocates spoke to the press, took photos and marched joyfully to the U.S. Capitol, and later that afternoon some dedicated AILA attorneys provided a free workshop on deferred action for the graduates. It was a beautiful day to witness.
AILA was among the proud sponsors of this year's ceremony, which honored DREAMers from across the country. Photos from this event can be seen in the September/October Special Edition issue of VOICE.
-Susan Timmons, Associate Director of AILA's Practice & Professionalism Center
8) With anticipation, I awaited President Obama's inauguration speech. As I have listened over the years to many presidents speak, I waited for a call to action. Most years, we were lucky to hear a couple of words that referred in passing to the need to "secure the borders" (at the cost of 18 billion dollars in 2012) or the "rule of law" (after laws were passed in Congress to make it difficult if not impossible to keep families together and for employers to hire skilled workers).
We've all known of the needs of the vast number of people who have been living in the US for many years. The cause of immigration reform has been taken up by individuals, families, attorneys, churches, social groups, businesses for profit and non-profit, politicians – the list goes on and on. Everyone (well almost everyone) agrees that the system is broken. Immigration laws do not meet the needs of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world. The flame of the lady has drawn generations of immigrants seeking a better future to our shores, through the promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This idea has helped our young nation to be exceptional among a world of states. The idea of equality inspires and is embodied by the flame. As citizens of America, it is our duty to ensure that we do not allow the flame to be extinguished.
I am an immigration lawyer married to my wife Iris from Honduras; together we have two young US citizen boys. My father was from Colombia and my mother from Belgium. Each year, I have believed that this is the year for immigration reform. Let's make 2013 the year that President Obama's call for a journey takes us back to the ideas which founded this nation. America is and always has been a land of immigrants.
- Mario Ramos, AILA Media-Advocacy Committee, AILA Leadership Blog
7) "Hello ma'am! This is one of your MAVNIs. I am happy to see you here. I want to thank you for all of the things you've done for us. This opportunity has changed my life for the better; taught me the things that I would have otherwise not learned. I have been accepted at a grad school in Washington DC as well as its ROTC program so excited about this prospect. The Army has been good to me and I am planning on staying in for quite a while."
Translation: This enlisted Army soldier, whom Dan Kowalski, an AILA member from Texas, helped on a pro bono basis through AILA MAP about three years ago, is now going to be an officer in the US Army, after he finishes grad school in DC. Given the nature of the legal issues involved in this soldier's case, things could have turned out much differently. Dan Kowalski's expert help made all the difference to this soldier.
You may think the case you take is just another small immigration matter that will only take a few hours of your time, but it can be a life-changing matter for the military members whom you help.

6) It was a frantic Tuesday with voters lining up in the early morning to cast their votes in another historic election. Media coverage lit up the screens of homes and businesses across the nation, social media crowded the internet and pundits began their analyses. By the time night had descended on this great nation, even as some votes were still being counted in Florida, the message was clear: Democrats would return their candidate to the White House for a second term. It was a bitter pill for Republicans to swallow, even Fox News had a fit of denial, as they continued to scrutinize "the numbers" and began the blame game.
Reports showed that President Barack Obama captured an astounding 71 percent of the Latino vote. That translated to a 44 percentage-point advantage over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, who won just 27 percent of the Latino vote–down from Republican shares of 31 percent in 2008, 44 percent in 2004 and 35 percent in 2000. President Obama also picked up 93% of the African American vote and 73% of the Asian American vote.
The message was clear. Not only do the political parties need to wake up to the changing demographics of our nation, but the nature of the American discourse on immigration must change. Winning the Latino vote requires consideration of tone, respect, and connection with the community.
Understanding Latinos necessarily involves connecting with our community. That means making sincere efforts to incorporate and interact with the fastest growing minority group in the United States. Embracing Latino political candidates is a start, but not an end in and of itself. Understanding, believing and advocating for issues that are important to the Latino community is certainly the right road to travel. These issues are not Democratic or Republican. They are American.

5) AILA's National Pro Bono Services Committee took a kernel of an idea in 2010 and turned it into a great tradition! In June 2012, twenty-five AILA attorneys provided consultations to over 200 individuals beginning early on Saturday morning at Hillcrest United Methodist Church. Our Nashville partner, Justice for Our Neighbors (JFON) of Tennessee, was extremely well prepared for the clinic, performing extensive community outreach, developing wonderful materials and handling every detail with an overall amazing level of on-the-ground organization.
The attendees hailed from myriad countries had a variety of case types. AILA attorneys were busy not only reviewing the law but also seeking counsel from mentors at the clinic. The clinic featured volunteers from a variety of chapters. Both newer practitioners and AILA veteran experts participated, including AILA celebrity Ira Kurzban! It was incredibly heartwarming to see the enthusiasm with which the attorneys did consultation after consultation for over three hours until every person waiting was seen.
As the clinic took place within 24 hours of President Obama's announcement about deferred action for certain immigrant youth, the clinic provided an unexpected opportunity to analyze cases that may become eligible for that program.
-Mark Shmueli, Past Chair of AILA National's Pro Bono Committee
4) Last October, I had an unbelievably good weekend. That Friday, I went to Oakdale, Louisiana as a member of the LSU Law Immigration Clinic and defended my client from deportation. Despite my inability to ask non-leading questions and sudden, unexplained fear of public speaking, the judge found in favor of my client. Following the hearing, I drove straight to the airport and jumped on a plane to Washington, D.C. for the Equal Justice Works Conference. Once there, I met Gail Pendleton, my future supervisor, who could not believe that I won in Oakdale Immigration Court (I left out all of the many things that went wrong). Gail and I discussed her idea for a project regarding tort suits against ICE and CBP for sexual assault to non-citizen women. She offered me a summer internship at ASISTA working with her on this project along with Ellen Kemp of the National Immigration Project. I enthusiastically accepted the offer.
A few months after this inspiring weekend, I received an announcement about the Maggio Fellowship. In seven days, I whipped together my application and project proposal and miraculously managed to email it to Susan Timmons on time. I had serious doubts as to whether I would be chosen for the position, so I was extremely happy to be proven wrong when I received Susan's email congratulating me on being the 2012 Maggio Fellow. With a half-hour left in class, I packed up my stuff and promptly went to The Chimes for a celebratory drink, after forwarding the email to everyone in my family.
The experience was absolutely amazing. Although initially I felt I was entirely unqualified to write a tool-kit for Bivens and FTCA claims for non-citizen survivors of sexual assault, Gail and Ellen granted me a huge amount of creative control over the project. I had the opportunity to interview leading experts in relevant fields for the project. I hope to use the skills developed from the internship with ASISTA, the Immigration Clinic, and Family Law Clinic to bring FTCA and Bivens claims on behalf of non-citizen survivors of sexual assault.
I know I'm biased but I'm pretty sure it was the best internship experience ever.
-Sarah McDonagh, 2012 Maggio Fellow
3)"Pro bono and for that matter, any kind of public service can be very gratifying personally, but even if you do not catch the bug right away, it is enlightened self-interest to participate in pro bono. Those who engage in and lead pro bono programs are or have access to the leaders of the legal and business communities. They can become a valuable resource as you develop your career, provide wonderful networking opportunities and can sometimes even lead to employment opportunities and referrals. Sometimes it is just interesting, fun and gratifying. Imagine how the associate at my firm must have felt when he called the Iraqi translator, who he was representing to advise that his application for asylum was granted and was told by the translator that he received this news while on the Staten Island Ferry passing right by the Statue of Liberty."
2) When I first met Marcos Nieves it was in 2008 while I was working at Catholic Charities. He asked if I could provide legal advice for his documentary student film. The documentary, Almost American, followed the plight of Gloria, an undocumented graduate of Harvard University who was unable to find a job because of her status. I soon realized the entire film crew working on the documentary was a remarkable group of undocumented individuals.
Four years later, I saw Marcos and a few others from the film crew again. It was now 2012 and DACA had recently passed. When I asked Marcos what he felt, he said, "I feel blessed and very fortunate to have the opportunity to apply for Deferred Action. This will positively impact my life…. if I get approved, I will have a fair opportunity to pursue my goals and reward all the sacrifices and struggles my parents encountered through this journey. I will be able exercise my skills and start my career that has been placed on hold."
Similar to Gloria's situation in Almost American, Marcos, a college graduate is unable to pursue his career and aspirations in film because of his undocumented status. "My passion is to make a positive impact in the life of others through visual storytelling. DACA is giving me a shot at pursing the dream I have cherished. Although DACA does not grant lawful immigration status or any benefits for our parents, it gives a dose of hope to thousands of undocumented youth that lived in the shadows to pursue the American Dream in the nation of opportunities."
I am honored to continue to help Marcos and others achieve this dream and proud of AILA and the Pro Bono committee that promotes attorneys to give back to others.
-Diana G. Fakhrai, Co-Chair of the SoCal AILA Chapter New Member Division
1) "There's never a dull moment at an AILA annual conference, is there?" That's what I was thinking the (super) early morning of June 15, 2012, just hours before President Obama announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Always up for a challenge, the conference-weary AILA National staff sprung into action immediately, writing press releases and consumer advisories, covering meetings and scheduling press interviews, all days before we left Nashville to return home to Washington, DC.
As an association, AILA was ecstatic about this news, as were our members and their clients. Many AILA and AIC departments have worked tireless hours over the past six months to make sure that immigration practitioners had the information and resources they needed to provide high quality legal assistance to their DREAMer clients, and to be ready to file DACA applications on August 15, 2012.
It became clear very quickly that AILA was a critical partner in this work, and the only organization that could mobilize the private immigration bar. And boy did our members respond! By mid-September, more than 20 AILA chapters had reported organizing or participating in DACA-related outreach and provision of services. You are truly an incredible group of professionals and the lengths to which you will go to help deserving immigrants are unmatched. It is an honor to work for and with you."
-Susan Timmons, Associate Director of AILA's Practice & Professionalism Center

Is there any possibility of getting Leopard or even Tiger to run on the PS3? If yes I would love it so much, I am willing to fork over some cash to the person who makes leopard on ps3 a possibility.
Is there any possibility of getting Leopard or even Tiger to run on the PS3? If yes I would love it so much, I am willing to fork over some cash to the person who makes leopard on ps3 a possibility.
u r crazy
That would indeed be.. sweeeeeet.
Well, the PS3 uses Cell processors, which are very similar to the PPC Architecture...
As I said, money goes to the one who can make this possible.
This has been suggested several times in various places but AFAIK there has been no actual attempt to modify Tiger for PS3 consumption. I think you're outta luck on that front without a seriously skilled coder. This isn't quite the same as OSx86 as although the Cell may use PPC instruction sets, it's still a different architecture and the rest of the hardware still needs drivers.
OS X can work on the Cell processor, as seen in this vid.
It's just a matter of getting it to work with the rest of the PS3 hardware.

Ok, well if anyone gets this up and going I will paypal $1000 USD once i verify it works.
The hardware drivers shouldn't be impossible...
In response to: Mac OS X on P3<Ramm> The MINIMUM requirements are a Pentium 4 and half a brain <-- going in my signature
but the purpose of running it on osx will be good use for limited market i suppose. synergetic processor units are good for number crunching but it is not yet ready for desktop environment, as the guy says... running it for spesific apps can be done, but making it compatible with all sort of apps will be a challenge i think, since they are designed to run in certain platforms, it wont be an overnight job to port everything to ibm powerpc platform... we already have powerful processing units in our gpus but like said, they are spesific usage, and there are some programs to get benefit of this power, just to do more calculations in science area... are we guys all scientists?
also guy was saying one processing unit has 30 stg or 40 stg gflop power (9x40=360glop at total), ati's new 3870 x2 gpu(s) will have teraflops as said in their information... so is gpu better than cpu? yes and no... yes u design a program to run science number crunching i guess, no? desktop processes... but hopefully AMD will be the first company to combine these two powerful units (cpu and gpu) in one place and make the drivers, so that everyone will have combined power of number crunching and desktop/server power on their pcs and servers... so will not need to beg to get this and that to run here and there...

The Mid-Semester Slump
by Tim Lawless
Doctors say that running will make you healthier, make you live longer, and give you more energy. It burns calories, increases your sense of well-being, and just generally improves your life.
Running makes me miserable.
I'm usually ready to give up about half a mile in. You know how when you're running, there's always that person in the distance you're trying to catch up with? There's also the guy on the side of the path, hunched over, hands on his knees, looking like he's ready to pass out.
I'm that guy.
Here's why: I treat everything like a sprint, not a marathon. I don't pace myself. I just want to get it over with as quickly as possible, so I can go back to my air-conditioned car and not be running anymore. I don't have the discipline for a long distance run. Who am I kidding? I don't even have the discipline for a short distance run…or a brisk walk…or a leisurely stroll…or physical exertion in general.
You get the idea.
Weird place to start talking about handling the crazy workload that comes in the middle of a semester, right? Some people approach school like a sprint. Others approach it like a marathon. Sprinters generally do work in large portions, and generally close to deadlines. I most definitely fall into this category.
I have a full-time job, I'm taking classes, and I'm trying to fit all of life's other responsibilities in there somewhere. I'm willing to bet most of us are like that. Between families, work, school, church, and a million other little things that demand our attention, sometimes it seems like the Friday or Sunday when an assignment is due isn't just the best time to do the work, but the only time.
Sure, we get the work done. But after spending an entire day (or two) on an assignment, there's no better way to describe how we feel than "utterly exhausted".
We treat school like a sprint. We go full speed ahead, and do all the work at once. We get it done, then feel completely burnt out. Then Monday comes, and we do it all again.
Marathons are difficult. Or, at least that's what I've heard. As you might recall, I've never actually run one. You can't go full-throttle in a 26 mile race. You have to pace yourself. Otherwise, you'll hit mile 9 (or mile 2, in my case) and be ready to give up.
What if we treated school like a marathon instead of a sprint? Maybe we won't be so exhausted at the end of the week, or rushing to complete that final assignment on the last Friday of the class. What if we took that 20 page paper, and started it in the 4th week instead of the 6th week? What if we wrote 2 pages a day for 2 weeks instead of 10 pages a day over the course of 2 days?
If you pace yourself, you might find that you have a little more time for the million and one other responsibilities you have. Who knows? You might not feel so exhausted. You might even enjoy school a little bit!
Most of us will have a 10 day break coming up on October 11th. Enjoy that time without having to be concerned with school. Spend time with your family. Spend time on a hobby you enjoy. Maybe even go for a run!
Just kidding about the run, guys. Let's be realistic here.
