The Park Slope Civic Council has awarded its 2007-2008 Neighborhood Grants and is "delighted to support these local groups, as they reflect the range and variety of active, creative organizations in Park Slope and they contribute greatly to the diversity and vitality of our community."
The Civic Council awarded nearly $10,000 in grants to 18 community organizations. Included are grants to four neighborhood schools, three programs intended to provide teenage recreation opportunities, and two senior centers.
The grants program is primarily funded by membership dues from Park Slope neighbors and businesses, as well as by the annual House Tour.
Organization/Project Amount Recommended
1. Groundswell Community Mural Project, Dept. of Environmental Protection Water Mural: In partnership with Gardens of Union and the Department of Environmental Protection, the Groundswell Summer Leadership Institute will create a large-scale mural exploring the water cycle and the importance of green spaces in New York City on the site of the new community garden planned for the water substation at Fourth Avenue and Sackett Street.
2. Spoke the Hub, "Miles of Tiles" Continuing Mosaic Project: Funds will help re-create the many original mosaics created by dozens of children and adults at the facility which were destroyed as part of the demolition, renovation and expansion of this multifaceted neighborhood arts center.
Funding will go toward purchasing materials to outfit people of all ages who will learn mosaic basics and then re-create the tiles.
3. PS 321, Adopt-A-Tree-Well: PS 321 classes will adopt trees around the edges of the school thereby encouraging children to appreciate the environment in their own front yard.
Children, parents, and staff will benefit from the improved aesthetics of the trees in their environment. Children will work with consultants for Trees NYC to learn how to care for the trees. Funds will be used to purchase the necessary gardening tools for the project.
4. Park Slope Geriatric Day Center, Early Memory Loss Program at Park Slope Geriatric Day Center: The grant will fund the buying of dollhouse kits, toolbox kits, and supplies that will be built by their Early Memory Loss group (along with their Physically Frail seniors, and their dementia clients.
The completed items built at the Park Slope Geriatric Center will then be donated to children's programs located in Park Slope. The Early Memory Loss group currently meets only two days a week, but they would like the group to grow to a five day a week program.
5. MS 447 Math and Science Exploratory School, School-Wide Recycling Program: Although it's the law, few New York City public schools actually recycle. Our grant will help launch a school-wide recycling program at MS 447, administered by students and led by a teacher who successfully implemented a similar program at a Bedford Stuyvesant middle school. The recycling program will be integrated with the sixth grade math curriculum.
6. Brooklyn Conservatory of Music, Civic Sounds: Funding will be used to present Civic Sounds, a summer community concert series. Civic Sounds will be presented for eight weeks of the summer on Friday afternoons from 5:30-7 p.m. in front of the Conservatory, 58 Seventh Avenue.
Musical genres presented will include Jazz, Classical, World, Rock, Pop and R&B.
7. Reel Works Teen Filmmaking, Friday Movie Night at Reel Works: This Friday night film series, curated by Reel Works teens, exposes young filmmakers to film classics in order to inform their own creative cinematic journeys. Funding will be used to purchase a movie screen, speaker set, and DVD player.
8. Old First Reformed Church, Club Loco: Club Loco, founded in 2007, is a performance space for teen musicians and a venue for their friends aged 14-20 to hang out and enjoy each other and themselves in a safe environment away from parents and authority figures.
This grant aims to increase Club Loco's visibility and to increase the diversity of the teens that come to the club. Funding will be used to create postcards, signs and advertisements that will help to attract participants.
9. Brooklyn Arts Exchange, Opportunities for Teens in the Arts: The BAX Teen Arts Conference is celebrating 10 years of development and support for young artists.
Funding will help expand BAX's Higher Education Opportunities in the Arts program to include a multi-workshop format that will involve double the number of teens and increase their opportunities to gain insight in both educational and vocational trajectories in dance and theatre at their March 2007 conference.
10. Old Stone House, Old Stone House of Brooklyn Education Program: The Old Stone House is currently participating in a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to examine the African and African American experience in New York during the period from 1660-1875.
The grant form the Civic Council will be used to begin to develop a drama based curriculum for seventh graders that will explore the subject matter.
11. Council on the Environment of New York City, Park Slope Computer and Recycling Day: The Council on the Environment proposes doing an electronic recycling day to coincide with the Park Slope Civic Council's Clean sweep in April 2008.
The Council on the Environment will use the funds to create an electronics recycling day for Per Scholas to collect computer and electronics equipment. They will provide staff and volunteers to assist people who drop off equipment. They will transport the equipment that is collected to their warehouse in the Bronx.
The grant will allow Per Scholas to recondition useable equipment, and to recycle the equipment that is too old, or too broken to reuse in an environmentally responsible manner.
12. Park Slope Senior Center, Park Slope Senior Center's "Recipes From the Heart": The project will create a recipe book through the Park Slope Senior Center's creative writing class.
It will meld memories and cultures through the sharing of traditional recipes of the center's seniors', that will eventually be sold as a fund raiser. The grant will pay for publishing costs which will turn the project into a bound book that will give credence to each of their seniors' contributions.
13. Gardens of Union, Sunday Afternoon Music Series: The Sunday Afternoon Music Series will feature free live musical performances in the serene community garden on Union Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues. From bluegrass to chamber music, with refreshments to boot. Tentative dates: May 31, June 21 and October 19.
14. PS 39, PS 39 Parent Involvement: PS 39 offers a series of parent involvement workshops throughout the year. Workshops ranging in subject matter from "How to Better Communicate With Your Child" to "Discipline without Punishment" are held.
Funding will be used to create the handouts for the workshops.
15. Park Slope Christian Help, Soup Kitchen and Pantry Program: Funding will be used to purchase supplies in to serve the 200-300 meals daily at their Soup Kitchen. Supplies will be purchased for the clean-up as well.
16. The Green-Wood Historic Fund, Serving Educators to Better Serve Students: The grant will support Green-Wood Cemetery's school program by funding the creation of permanent lesson plans/guides that will be targeted to the neighboring elementary schools that come to the cemetery for tours and instruction from the cemetery's director of School Programs.
The lessons will be bound in presentation folders that will be given to the schools (and local libraries if requested) and will include lessons targeting science (i.e. acid rain on monuments), math (statistics, graphing, etc.), language arts, and history.
This will allow teachers to prep the students prior to visiting, and to follow-up after their students' tours, with sets of lessons that will be kept at the school.
17. Prospect Park Alliance, Bartel-Pritchard Square Planting Project: The Prospect Park Alliance will use funding form the Civic Council to replace the Japanese Barberry at Bartel-Pritchard Square. Barberry is an invasive plant species not native to Brooklyn and the Alliance would like to replace it with more appropriate, native shrubs.
The plants that currently grow in the Circle are overgrown as well, and detract form the World War I monument that honors the soldiers for whom the Circle is named. Planting will take place in the spring of 2008.
18. MS 51, The Partnership Gardens Program: MS 51's Partnership Gardening Program will use funds to purchase plants and gardening materials.

- Holt 333
- Richard Jackson has published over twenty books including thirteen books of poems, 3 anthologies, 2 critical books, 2 books of translations (from Slovene and from Italian) and two edited editions by Slovene poets. His most recent books of poems are Retrievals(CR Press, 2014), Out of Place (Ashland, 2014), and Resonancia (Barcelona, 2014, a translation of Resonance from Ashland, 2010), He was awarded the Order of Freedom Medal for literary and humanitarian work in the Balkans by the President of Slovenia in reward for his work with the Slovene-based Peace and Sarajevo Committees of PEN International. He has received Guggenheim, NEA, NEH, and two Witter-Bynner fellowships, a Prairie Schooner Reader's Choice Award, several book awards, and the Crazyhorse prize, and he is the winner of five Pushcart Prizes and has appeared in Best American Poems '97 as well as many other anthologies. At UTC he directs the Meacham Writers' Conference and has won teaching awards. He is a winner of the AWP George Garret Award for teaching and writing.
Research and Creative Interests: Working on a book of poems; a book of responses by American poets responded to a Slovene painters' responses to Emily Dickinson; working on translations of Italian poets. Lately I have been investigating parallel responses by writers and artists to wars.
Teaching Interests: Creative Writing (poetry), Romantic Literature, Literature in Translation, Translation Workshop, World Lit and Philosophy
Teaching Approach: My classes are all discussion. I don't lecture except for maybe a 10 minute snippet here and there. I 'teach' to learn, not to proclaim,I want to participate in a process of learning and discovering with students. So the classes and office discussions are for me the norm. I don't generally give or rely on tests: I can generally tell who is reading and who is not without a quiz or test. Discussions reveal a lot, and so do papers which I keep short and concise. I never use old notes but reread everything as if for the first time so it is fresh and I'll see new things and keep engaged. I figure if I am engaged it is the best way to engage the students. I like to ask questions but seriously do not have any specific answers in mind they are real questions and I want to hear what students think. It also lets me know how engaged they are in a text or in creative writing, their own work, how invested they are in it.
Why did you become an English professor? I love to read, sure, but I could do that on my own. I love sharing ideas I have, but even more I love listening to ideas students have, learning from them. Part of my basic evaluation of a class is how much I myself have learned; I hope that if I am learning something they are too. In guess I became a professor to learn more, and my students usually have much to teach me in their unique takes on the material. A university is a great place, maybe the best place to have this sort of exchange. Coffee shops are also good.
Why teach? I think the question above may answer some of this. Additionally, I don't see myself as a "teacher" but as Heidegger says, someone who "lets learn." I like to 'teach' creative writing because it allows students to discover new ways to use language which is a way to discover new feelings and ideas, and so a new sense of self. Many of those poetry students, all who applied, went on to win fellowships and assistantships in grad school, and many used their basis in language and poetry to go on and write novels and CNF, and one is writing TV scripts. I like to teach Humanities and literature because it is full of those discoveries itself, and leads to further discoveries among ourselves, both teacher and student. To me that is the value of reading, teaching, learning discover what you didn't know. I want the courses to facilitate that.
What do you expect of students? In literature, I want students to engage texts both intellectually and passionately; in creative writing I am looking not only for some creative spark but a drive, some intensity. I don't trust tests but prefer to engage in discussion and through brief, concise (but loaded) papers. I know some people pride themselves on being 'tough' but I don't think that has much to do with how much you let students learn in their own unique ways. I want to help facilitate students on their various roads to discover new ideas, new selves. That's the ideal anyway. Basically I guess I grade on improvement and engagement.
Outside of being a professor, what do you do for fun and/or relaxation? I like to hike and bike. We often head to the Smoky Mtns or the Cumberland Plateau. I love to travel and see new places, meet new people, but it is also fun to return to a place Tuscany and Slovenia are my favorites and see people who have become friends over the years. I also love to cook, Italian for one, but love to pull things at random from the fridge and see what can be done with them. Surprisingly, it often works. I am also a TV addict I have several shows I watch like Homeland, House of Cards, The Blacklist, Ray Donavan, some crime dramas, but also Big Bang Theory. I listen to a lot of music jazz, opera, and people like Dylan, Bright Eyes, Clash, Civil Wars, the Stones, Decembrists, Bare Naked Ladies, even some classic country - a strange brew of things really.
What's something about you that might surprise your students? I collect ball caps have about 50 or more. I love and appreciate good wine, especially Brunello and Barolo, both Italian. I used to be more of a jock baseball, hockey, track (sprints), football, and played in a softball league here for a couple of years: centerfield. I have worn a tie maybe 10 times in the last 25 years and find them a curious appendage.

ExtJS 2.0 Project Management Application
Hi all,
...first of all, many thanks for eveyone for the great ExtJS framework and all the support from this forum! Without ExtJS and the help and support from many members, I would have never gotten where I am today
So I have been working over the past month on a Project Management Application, which can be found as late-alpha/early-beta at:
User: demo
Pwd: demo
It is by no means finished, still a lot of small stuff to take care of, but the basics are there now and seems to work ok...most of the time
From an implementation point of view, I was actually putting another "framework" on top of ExtJS, so about 80-90% of the App is configured in XML-Files (and it should become 100%), not too much hard coded. Reason being for me was re-usability, so I could use the same App Framework for a internal small Training & Finance Management Application by only changing XML and of course a bit in the DB.
I hope to be able to go to market with a .0 version latest in march (well, doing already 2 contracts, so don't have as much time for this as I would wish and also I work in complete different area, so Javascript, PHP, MySql etc is not really my world normally). Anyhow, have to talk with ExtJS about License before of course
Hope, you like it, maybe it is helpful and/or has useful things in there for the one or other or even ideas and any feedback would of course be very much appreciated Just will be out to HKG for some days, so replies may take a bit....
Again, thank for all for the help and support and feedback,
all the best

Frank that is looking really good man. I will check in from time to time to see the progress. I am interested in seeing the gaunt charts.
9 Feb 2008 8:58 PM #3
Hi Confused,
...thanks a lot About the Gant - have to admit, I didn't plan to reinvent wheels, planning to use
Seems to be easy to configure and integration works great, so I guess I will go with that. I could not imagie how much work it would be to do myself something of that quality.....
All the best
9 Feb 2008 9:04 PM #4
Ya, that looks pretty good and would do the job.
11 Feb 2008 3:07 AM #5
From me, as a user, this app looks little confusing.
But, in ExtJs programmer's point of view, it is really good.
It's your choice whether you're developing a tool for programmers/developers, or for "rest of us" - regular users, who have no idea what ExtJs is.

Man that's awesome. Some day I hope to be able to do that. I'll probably be assigned the task to do something like this with my company in the coming months and I'll have to do it in plain HTML with a few bells and whistles.
This is awesome. What's the back-end database?
Nice work.
Is that WYSIWYG long text tool in the ExtJS toolkit?
11 Feb 2008 8:52 PM #8
Great work....
Really impresive, great work man!...
12 Feb 2008 12:53 AM #9
My PC is just 12ms away from your demo site and the application really flies.
I had not realized that the Ext TreeGrid could do multiple levels, however in a few cases the node expansion clicks got confused allowing me to open a single node to indefinite levels and in another case a click opened and closed another tree grid node.
Do you intend to place some status info or chart in the main centre region frame?

Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Suburban sex skits created to appeal to women and couples are brought to life from Penthouse letters read by Penthouse 2006 Pet of the Year Heather Vandevan. She has great pronunciation.
Most of these creative scenes feature traditional squeaky-clean sex with beautiful performers. Even a threesome with Daisy Marie, Marco Banderas, and another gent is more of a gentlemanly share-the-hole effort.
Some of these abbreviated scenes could best be described as clips. For example, a scene featuring Hannah Harper and Trina Michaels, who are never together and only shown in pieces, barely lasts seven minutes. And Harper, according to the box cover, has the starring role in this DVD.
Retailing: Shelf this next to Penthouse magazine and on racks which lean towards women and couples action.

The Algerian army has beefed up its positions on the border with war-torn Mali to prevent incursions by armed Islamists fleeing north, an official in the southern town of Tamanrasset said on Monday.
"The army has been deployed on the border for a while, but reinforcements have been sent since the beginning of the war (in Mali). It's about preventing the infiltration of terrorist groups," Mohamed Baba Ali, a member of parliament in the garrison town told AFP.
"Without these reinforcements, there would have been terrorist incursions from northern Mali."
The Algerian government has been tight-lipped since France launched major air strikes on Sunday near Kidal, the last bastion of armed extremists being targeted in northern Mali as part of a French-led offensive which began on January 11.
Algeria, which had always opposed military intervention in Mali, was reluctantly drawn into the conflict when it agreed to let French warplanes use its airspace, and closed its 1,400-kilometre (900-mile) southern border shortly afterwards.
Just days later, Islamist gunmen attacked an Algerian gas field, unleashing a hostage crisis that left 37 foreigners dead.
"The situation inside Algerian territory is normal," said Baba Ali, adding that the residents in the border towns of Tin Zaouatene, Timiaouine and Taoundert, "are afraid because there is a war nearby, but nothing more".
Only in Tamanrasset has the conflict noticeably affected the local economy, with tourism and handicraft, the main sources of income, grinding to halt, along with cross-border trade.
On Sunday, the governor of Adrar, a town 1,400 kilometres southwest of Algiers whose region shares the longest section of border with Mali, said the authorities had registered no Malian refugees since the border closure.

This is from the Lew Rockwell blog authored by Thomas DiLorenzo:
Sorry guys, but this "debate" [on whether US Citizens can be targeted by their own government] was ended more than 140 years ago when the U.S. government established the precedent of murdering hundreds of thousands of American citizens and imprisoning thousands of Northern-state political dissenters without any due process. In fact, neocons like Frum, McCain and Graham often celebrate this fact. I refer, of course, to the mass murder of between 350,000 and 450,000 citizens (according to new research) of the Southern states by the Lincoln regime. Lincoln never conceded that secession was legal; therefore, he considered all Southerners as U.S. citizens and orchestrated the waging of total war on them for four years. He was famous for his devilish experimenting with bigger and better weapons of mass destruction –the "drones" of his day– to be used on his own fellow citizens. He rewarded generals like Sherman and Sheridan for supervising the pillaging, plundering, murdering, and raping of Southern civilians during the "March to the Sea" and the burning down of the entire Shenandoah Valley after the Confederate Army had vacated it. For this the cowardly and barbaric Sheridan has been portrayed as a "great war hero." And of course for doing this generations of state propagandists have deified Lincoln, memorialized him with monuments, museums, and Mount Rushmore, and perpetually urge every national politician (and all of the school children) to be more like him.
If I ran the education system of this nation, I would require every child in public schools to learn this truth. Thank the Lord that at this time, this nation could raise up a heroic historian like Prof. DiLorenzo.

News Welcome to the Third World
posted by August 6 at 14:45 PMon
When the bridge collapsed in Minneapolis last week I thought, "Man, we're a couple of bus plunges away from officially being a third world country." Most of the other indicators are already in place: We're ruled by the imbecilic son of our former ruler; our rich are obscenely wealthy and our poor are obscenely poor; giant corporations abuse consumers with absolute impunity; the Democrats refuse to do anything about predatory lending or payday loans or credit card companies…
Well, other parts of the world—the first world, of which we used to be a member—are starting to notice just how fucked up our country is. From the UK's Independent…
You don't have to visit this country for long to see how its transport infrastructure has deteriorated since the interstate system was built by Eisenhower in the Fifties. Never taken that pot-holed ride from JFK to Manhattan? Fasten your seatbelts for more turbulence. Or covered your ears in the screeching tunnels of the city's antiquated subways? As for a cross-country ride on Amtrak, good luck.
Money here tends to flow towards items that make the pulse race. That would be elections, wars and that other national passion, sports. If there was a World Cup for baseball—rather than the so-called World Series in October which involves only the US and Canada - then finding decent venues would barely be a problem. Name a big city that doesn't have a brand new, state of the art stadium it wants to show off.
Actually, that would be New York. But that is about to change. Its two major baseball teams, the Yankees and the Mets, are in deadly competition right now and not just to land places in the World Series play-off games this autumn. It's about which of them can get their spanking new stadium finished first.
That's right, while the Brooklyn Bridge gathers rust (yes, it is on the critical care list), somehow this city is building not one but two baseball stadiums barely six miles from each other.

Giant Flan RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 3-1/2 cups whole milk
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook 1 cup sugar until melted, about 20 minutes. Do not stir. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes or until syrup is golden brown, stirring occasionally. Quickly pour into an ungreased shallow 10-in. round baking dish, tilting to coat bottom of dish. Place dish in a large baking pan; let stand 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 325°.
- In a large saucepan, heat milk until bubbles form around sides of pan. Remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, salt and remaining sugar. Stir 1 cup warm milk into egg mixture; return all to the pan and mix well. Stir in vanilla. Slowly pour into prepared baking dish.
- Add 3/4 in. hot water to the large baking pan. Bake 35-40 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove flan to a wire rack; cool 1 hour. Chill overnight. Run a knife around edge to loosen; invert onto a rimmed serving dish. Yield: 8 servings.
Reviews for Giant Flan
"The only thing I did differently was to use only 1 tsp. vanilla and to strain (using a fine mesh strainer) the mixture into the pan to make sure the flan is very smooth...."
"Very easy and quick but I did simplify melting the sugar by putting in a microwave safe dish adding just enough water to moisten the sugar and nuking for a few minutes(watch very closely!). It carmelizes beautifully and your guests will never know the difference."
"Well, the cook time on this is definitely not correct. Everything went together well, but it needed at least double the time to bake. 35 minutes is adequate to bake a half inch ring around the pan. We made it for my daughter's class project this weekend, but will have to try it again to get it set correctly."
"@ mimiliz0--I bake my flan at 350 degrees for 1 hr and 10 min."
"I've been making this same recipe for 15 years and I call it my "fool proof" flan recipe. The only thing different between this recipe and mine is that I add a cinnamon stick to the milk when I scald it (discard it afterward, of course), and I only use 1 tsp of vanilla... 3 tsp is overkill, in my opinion. This truly is the best flan recipe. I'm from New Mexico and I haven't tried any restaurant flan that is better than this! I get requests for this all the time :)"
"When you make the caramel for the bottom; do not stir like it says and I kept mine low and slow because the first two times I burned it. But otherwise the recipe is nice and pretty easy and the flan tasted good!"
"i have made this several times now. everyone loves it! simple to make. i had to bake longer than recipe says though,,but it just might be my oven,,dunno :-)"

Overnight, temperatures will drop into the 20s and 30s. Some of the lesser travelled roads will likely get a bit slick by morning, but no huge travel problems are anticipated.
Monday will be a better day, with warmer temperatures. However, it will still be breezy, and there will be a few showers in the afternoon.

A 15-minute documentary about an Army veteran from Lawrence who spoke out against the war in Iraq is making its debut.
The film, titled ``Baghdad, Kansas,'' focuses on Mike Sanger,
who organized war protests in Lawrence and the Kansas City area. It
was made by Ranjit Arab, a graduate student in journalism at the
University of Kansas. He shot the film last year as part of his
The documentary includes interviews with Sanger, footage showing
him returning his medals and volunteering to campaign for
then-presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Arab said he chose the title because it shows that Kansans are
not isolated from happenings overseas.
The debut is scheduled at 4 p.m. Wednesday at KU's Malott Hall.
Arab also plans to put it on YouTube.

Comments about Laines Du Nord Prancer:
I wanted to make a cardigan but the runs of self striping included WAY too long runs of only creme. From the picture, I thought the colors were more "symetrical" throughout the skein. I've had to cut and join many times to cut out some of the creme. Other than that, it's beautiful yarn, very soft, easy to work with, and good colorways. It's just not quite what I had wanted.

This yarn is so soft and beautiful!
By Jenny
from Connecticut
About Me Spastic Knitter
See all my reviews
This yarn is so pretty and soft to the touch. I used FOUR different colors for mittens/hats for family members for Christmas (075 Black, Purple, Navy: 211 Natural, Purple, Brown: 422 Grey, Blue: 910 Green, Blue, Purple.) All of them were beautiful and knit up quickly. I used them for mittens and hats, and I loved the 211 color so much that I just ordered some more to make myself something special. :) The only negative I had with this yarn was that I got distracted on one of my hats and made some mistakes I had to take out, and the yarn was difficult to rip out to fix the issues. (It stuck together, which makes it really warm, but not very helpful when trying to correct mistakes.) It comes with 350yds per hank which was awesome.. I was able to make two hats and a set of mittens per hank. Definitely worth the purchase!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Perranuthnoe Holiday Cottages
Just show me Perranuthnoe Cottages
Experience the beauty of western Cornwall and stay in one of our Perranuthnoe holiday cottages, scattered about a small village at the eastern edge of St. Mount's Bay. It's very much an exclusive holiday retreat, with a family-friendly beach, couple of cafés, award-winning pub, church, craft centre and gallery.
While away a day on Perranuthnoe's secluded, sandy beach, a favourite with swimmers and surfers when the swell is right and great for beginners. Take a picnic or check out the Cabin Beach Café, set in a field above the sea and serving snacks and drinks with a view. Or opt for a little beachcombing at Trenow or Trevelyan Coves, both National Trust.
Top-class attractions near our Perranuthnoe holiday homes

That's going to set a poor like me back a good 3 years. shoulda gone to Serendipity instead and gotten a big old chocolate sundae, then you don't need the belt. Bam! BTW, I saw Joe Flacco there last summer, the weekend after he signed his big $100M contract. He skipped ahead of me in line, and didn't buy me anything. Prick.

Patricia Tackes thought she had hit it big.
After the 83-year-old Hilton Head Island resident applied for a sweepstakes she saw in a magazine in January, the checks started pouring in -- $1.5 million, $2 million, $10 million.
They were sweepstakes offers and came from companies with names like "The National Lottery Foundation."
Patricia, a retired medical technologist, and her husband, Jerry, a retired mechanical engineer for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, believed they were on their way to riches.
"They were so convincing and acted so innocent," said Patricia, who handled the majority of the hundreds of phone calls and offers the couple received during the past year. "They make you feel so
But there was a catch.
Before she could collect the winnings, the couple were told they must pay taxes on the cash. Only then would the money be delivered to their Hilton Head Plantation home by a company representative, Patricia said.
So she began to send thousands of dollars in money orders through Western Union, MoneyGram and Federal Express. The money was wired to Canada, the United Kingdom and Jamaica to people who claimed to be lawyers, financial managers or immigration officials. They said they would soon send the couple their prize
The fees varied. Sometimes it was $2,900 for tax and transfer fees; other times, $4,000 for processing fees.
Once, the couple were told an extra payment was needed because it was a holiday, Patricia said.
In October, Patricia sent $48,000 to a man who said he was arrested at the airport while he was on the way to deliver their cash. He told Patricia he needed the money to get out of jail.
During the past 10 months, Patricia drained the couple's savings and wired more than $78,000 in money orders trying to collect prize money. When she sent a final payment to British Columbia in November and the money never arrived, she finally realized it was a scam.
"Everything's gone," she said. "They knew everything about us -- everything we had in our savings account. I got to the point where I didn't even know who to believe."
They filed a report with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, but nothing could be done. The money was gone, and the culprits left no trace.
The scams
Sweepstakes, lottery and "person in need" scams are pervasive and on the rise, said Maria Audas, a spokeswoman for the S.C. Department of Consumer Affairs.
During the past fiscal year, the agency has seen a 50 percent increase in the number of complaint calls about swindles, Audas said.
"We've had a huge rise in many of these scams, especially the fake-check scams."
The Tackeses received fraudulent checks with the names of well-known companies like GEICO, Marriott and Delta Air Lines.
"Nine times out of 10, they're scammers that aren't playing by any rules or regulations, and the feds often can't even trace them," Audas said. "There's not much we can do at the back end, but if you catch credit card misuse, we can stop it."
Money orders or wire transfers, however, are virtually untraceable.
"That's why the scammers ask for your money that way," she said. "In a case like that, getting the money back is not an option."
Wiring money
In one instance, Patricia tried to wire money to Canada, and a MoneyGram employee told her it was a scam. The employee blocked the transfer, Patricia said.
But only a few weeks later, the couple received a different lottery offer and another fake check, and Tackes went for the bait again.
MoneyGram employees are trained to educate consumers on ways to safeguard their funds and personal information to avoid becoming victims of consumer fraud, said Lynda Michielutti, a spokeswoman for MoneyGram International.
"People are desperate -- it's just so unfortunate," Michielutti said. "We have agents who turn customers away because we know it's a fraud, and we know they go somewhere else, but we try to stop it."
MoneyGram employees block more than $1 million each month in fraudulent transactions, she said. The company has warnings printed on each send-form.
The company tries to stay abreast of the most current and popular scams, but con artists always come up with new schemes.
"There are some things that are easy to spot, like a call from a grandson who says he's in jail in Canada," Michielutti said. But because of privacy issues, employees can't directly ask customers why they are sending money.
"If they decide to go ahead and send it, there's nothing we can do," she said. "They have to make the ultimate decision."
One step ahead
Although the Tackeses filed a police report with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, local police departments aren't equipped to handle the scams, especially if the con artists are overseas.
"It's not in our jurisdiction," said Cpl. Robin McIntosh, sheriff's spokeswoman. "The victims are here, but the crime isn't happening here."
McIntosh said deputies will file a report and advise consumers about the steps they can take. Most often, fraud victims are told to contact the FBI, but it too is limited in what it can recover.
"The scams evolve daily, and they come via fax, letters and e-mails," McIntosh said. "It's really a matter of protecting your personal and financial information and guarding it very closely."
Targeting the vulnerable
"When the economy is bad, scammers get more desperate and creative, and people get desperate," said Audas, of the S.C. Department of Consumer Affairs.
Seniors are especially susceptible, Audas said. "They seem to prey on seniors a lot, mostly because of a general understanding that older consumers are going to be more trusting."
Mike Walsh, executive director of Mental Health America of Beaufort/Jasper Counties, said seniors also may be vulnerable to scams because of memory loss or social isolation.
"From a counseling perspective, it can be a memory thing, or it can be that people are just generally good-natured and get taken advantage of," Walsh said. "The seniors think, 'I've got to help these people.' And in this type of economic climate, these scammers tend to be more aggressive."
The Lt. Governor's Office on Aging formed a task force last year to collect data statewide to create a centralized reporting system for senior fraud victims, said Frank Adams, the agency's director of communications.
Adams said the office held about 20 public hearings to meet with seniors across the state.
"We heard from a lot of people, and we heard a lot of horrible fraud stories," he said. "One resident came forward with a suitcase full of mailings his elderly neighbor had received in the course of 60 days."
Adams said that without a centralized reporting system, the state has difficulty tracking the scams.
"When the economy gets better, we were hoping there would be funds to create a system that would track the reports," he said. "It's going to be a long, hard process, but something needs to be done."
Coming forward
Patricia Tackes is embarrassed about being a scam victim but said she needed to come forward in the hope that she could prevent others from being swindled. The Hilton Head resident has chronicled the past year in four folders stuffed with every piece of correspondence, money order receipt and fake check she
"If I had known something about this, I could have stopped it," she
"We were going to move into (a) retirement home, but now we don't have the money. I just want to help other people who are in the same predicament."
She can't believe she was fooled for so long.
"We're honest," she said. "We were raised Catholic, and we just believe everybody. It's just torn up our whole life."

" During this weekend my friends and me felt like being at home. After tons of hostel in other contries, this was the first in Italy and experience was positive. Nice place, common area with a fire to keep you warm while talking with the owner. Rooms are upstairs with a great view of mountains, with balcony and an upper space under the roof, where I would put some hammocks to turn it into a great relaxing spot after the day out skiing. Definitely going back again. "- Anonyme

CNAS Panel on Officership in a Time of War
Opening Comments
01 October 2008
1180 Words
I want to thank the Center for a New American Security and Michelle Flournoy for hosting today's panel on Officership in a Time of War. CNAS has been incredible in bringing together differing viewpoints. I consider it an honor to be invited...and an even greater honor to be sitting on this panel with such a distinguished group of members.
John Nagl has and continues to be an intellectual engine of change for our Army. A veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I consider it a personal failure that we have allowed John to move on from the active Army. His remarkable examination of how militaries learn and adapt has been a standard for our Army in defining what right looks like. His own passion and amazing willpower helped craft the most recent version of the Army's counterinsurgency manual.
Jason Fritz. A three tour veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Thirty-three months total. Jason led the Army into Iraq riding with the 3rd Squadron, 7th Cavalry of the Third Infantry Division. Then back again fighting an insurgency in OIF III. Then again as part of our surge forces last year. Jason has been deployed almost half the time he has been in the Army. Thirty-three months out of six years.
If anything, Jason symbolizes the thousands of young leaders who are fighting this war who are struggling with the cumulative effects of multiple deployments and making hard choices.
Bill Murphy. The author of 'In a Time of War'. He spent the last few years conducting an incredible number of interviews with the extended military family of the West Point class of 2002. Many who I personally know and admire. As a reservist, Bill served our Nation for over 18 months during the opening years of this conflict.
It is an honor to sit on this panel with all of you.
We've been in a long fight. Almost seven years of continuous operations across multiple theaters. And the Nation has asked a lot of our soldiers and their families.
We have asked for an incredible level of sacrifice; we've asked ordinary Americans, who have volunteered and raised their right hand...solemnly swearing an oath 'to support and defend the constitution against all enemies'... to be extraordinary.
They are extraordinary. And we would be remiss if we did not consider the All Volunteer Force a living National Treasure.
And we must continue to invest in that National treasure. For those watching the war unfold from afar, you would be literally amazed at the leader transformation occurring in our Force.
Our young leaders are being forged and tempered by the experience of multiple combat tours. They think differently...and truly understand how a pint of sweat in training - to paraphrase George Patton - will later save a gallon of blood in war.
Their mind, body, and soul are intently focused on folding the fundamentals learned through experience into preparation for the next deployment.
We've harnessed and cultivated an incredible level of agility in our junior leaders that is simply breathtaking. Their depth and breadth of experience in many cases far outweighs any senior military officer sitting in a position of authority today.
And because of this simple reality they must have a voice. We, the senior leadership of the military and our nation must listen.
They are shouldering an enormous burden for all of us. The sacrifices of their brothers and sisters who will never come home, and who may be forever scarred can never be forgotten. They are the foundation of our National Treasure.
We all must remember that in military communities throughout this nation there are spouses young and old, and their children, who cringe when they hear an unexpected knock on the door for fear that it may forever change their life. And they do this day after day...month after month...year after year.
Though local communities have created formal and informal covenants with their military families, we have to figure out a way to keep the nation invested in the soldiers and their families who are living with the crushing effects of multiple deployments, but who refuse to accept anything but a win on behalf of the nation.
It is not just the immediate communities outside the posts, camps and stations who should be supporting our military and their families. It should be an American Initiative.
Let me make a few concluding remarks about the profession.
That officer corps is a profession. Not unlike the medical or the legal profession. And like the medical or legal profession we are very, very critical of ourselves...all in an intense desire to get better, and win. Because not winning in this profession means you or those under you...die. To paraphrase Hal Moore: there are no second place trophies in this profession.
It is important...vitally important that we continue to foster debate within the profession. We see great bottom up driven examples of the professional dialogue among young leaders who are driving conversations in the professional journals or virtual communities.
Officers, and even our Non-commissioned officers, with multiple deployments under their belts have found it necessary...imperative to channel their experience into intellectual forums. They are pushing the tactics and doctrine of an Army at War. Leveraging their social networks to rapidly learn and disseminate the lessons and hardships of families and soldiers. They push themselves because their soldiers, their families, and their peers demand it.
But in some ways, we can be pretty schizophrenic. We have an incredible 'can do' culture. But that same cultural trait sometimes creates an intellectual blind spot. What we say to ourselves doesn't necessarily match with what we do...and it can turn professional dialogue into a toxic event.
We must continue to cultivate the brightest officers from within the ranks who do not agree with the party line.
A younger Eisenhower and Patton after World War I encountered incredible institutional antibodies when they took a position advocating the tank in modern warfare. As Stephen Ambrose wrote: "[they] were true pioneers, original and creative in their thought. But the Army was not pleased."
There are Eisenhower's and Patton's out there today. The Nagl's and the Yingling's, pushing us out of our comfort zone and into intellectual territories we may not like, but must explore.
Officership is about service. It's about service to a higher calling. It's about service to those you lead. The young soldiers and officers you see sprinkled among the crowd here today are a pretty humble crowd...and will rarely talk about the incredible sacrifice they or their soldiers have endured on behalf of the nation.
Yet they stand in a quiet sense of commitment ... heroes. In spite of the grinding stress of multiple tours and the cumulative effects wearing on them and their families, they Soldier on. Not because they necessarily want to, but because the nation demands it. They hear the nation's call.
What I hope today, is that our nation and our Army are listening too.
Thank you.
Army Strong.

"CHANIA..." Chania by ghislain69
Chania Travel Guide: 240 reviews and 695 photos
To even begin to describe Chania and it's many facets is a truly Herculean task. Until 1971, when the commercial sprawl of Heraklion took over, it was the island's capital bearing both the scars and trophies of centuries of growth and occupation and is now a vibrant city with a fascinating blend of simplicity and sophistication.
Chania is believed to be one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements, initially known as Kydonia, with some evidence remaining from Minoan times, a mention in the Odyssey, and a flourishing community in Classical times. After fierce fighting it was occupied by the Romans and became an important town right through early Christian and Byzantine times, each era leaving it's mark. The Venetians, after a brief spat with the Genoese, renamed the town La Canea and had the most lasting and appealing influence on its architecture. After another monumental struggle the town fell to the Turks who made it the seat of their pasha and they in turn left their mark by converting churches to mosques, with an imposing dome still adorning the harbour front
The Venetian harbour and the higgledy-piggledy streets behind, with their combination of tastefully restored and tumble-down buildings are natural magnets to all Chania's visitors, as are the famous covered market and the 'street of the leatherworkers'. Over the past few decades Chania's architectural attractions and sense of history, in juxtaposition with its backdrop of the powerful Lefka Ora (White Mountains) has encouraged many chance visitors to linger a while longer and consequently the city has a large cosmopolitan and artistic community.
Today Chania is primarily a living and breathing working city and a commercial centre for the local agricultural communities, with tourism coming a close second. The shops range from simple old-style Greek emporiums to smart international designer shops and from tacky tourist kiosks to stylish art galleries.
The new area of the city, about twenty minutes walk west of the old harbour, has a surprisingly well kept beach, fringed by some good fish restaurants but most sun-seekers choose to head west by bus or hire car where there are literally miles of sandy beaches, or up onto the Akrotiri peninsula where there are a number of quieter sandy coves and beaches.
In the early evening visitors from the surrounding beach resorts head for the old harbour, where the waterfront tavernas compete noisily for their business. Beyond the mosque, heading towards the old Venetian arsenals, lie some quieter tavernas and further beyond these in the inner harbour are some simple fish tavernas, much favoured by the locals and consequently never busy until late at night. In recent years a number of restaurants have sprung up in some of the un-restored buildings providing the unique experience of dining by candlelight in evocative surroundings, perhaps to the strains of the lyre, whilst watching the night skies.
After dinner some head home replete, whilst others stroll the cobbled back-streets or sip a brandy in a rooftop bar. The young and energetic can choose a frenetic music bar or club whilst the not so young, but nonetheless energetic, can choose a mellow jazz bar or Cretan cafe with impromptu traditional music and dancing.
With its diversity and energy Chania can be whatever the visitor wants it to be - and few are ever disappointed

DENVER -- Colorado and Montreal swapped goalies Wednesday
with Jose Theodore heading to the Avalanche in exchange for David
The trade marks the second time a high-profile goaltender left
Montreal for Denver, following Patrick Roy's historic move to the
mile-high city during the 1995-96 season.
Theodore, 29, has a 3.46 goals-against average and an .881 save
percentage this season. Aebischer, 28, has a 2.98 goals-against
average and a .900 save percentage.
Theodore was 17-15-5 for Montreal this season after winning a
career-best 33 games in 2003-04.
Aebischer, who had a miserable month of December before turning
his season around in January, is 25-14-2 this season.
Theodore fractured his right heel last month while putting salt
on the ice outside his Montreal home during the league's Olympic
break. He plans to return to hockey in April and the Avs said they
expect him to be 100 percent for the playoffs.
Until then, the Avs will presumably rely on Peter Budaj and
Vitaly Kolesnik to tend the net.
"We are convinced that we are securing our goaltending position
for many years," Avs president and general manager Pierre Lacroix
said in a statement. "He is a proven, All-Star caliber netminder
and at 29 he is entering the prime years of his career. Every year
we are trying to reach the ultimate goal and this represents
another sign to our fans that hasn't changed."
This was the first major swap as the NHL's Thursday trade
deadline approached. With 23 of the league's 30 teams within seven
points of a playoff spot and a month's worth of games still to be
played, not too many clubs were eager to make any major changes.
The new collective bargaining agreement moved up the trade
deadline by two weeks.
Theodore was on Canada's preliminary Olympic eligibility list
but was not placed on the final squad after a December drug test in
which he tested positive for a drug that can be used to mask
steroid use. Canadiens team doctor David Mulder said the
prescription drug, Propecia, was being used to promote hair growth.
Theodore became the sixth goaltender in NHL history to win the
Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player in
2001-02, when he led the league with a .931 save percentage.
The Laval, Quebec, native was Montreal's second selection in the
1994 entry draft and has played his whole career with the
Canadiens, compiling a 141-158-30 record with 23 shutouts, a 2.62
goals-against average and a .911 save percentage.
A seventh-round draft pick by Colorado in 1997, Aebischer is
89-58-14 in his career.
After a winless December, he helped turned around Colorado's
season by going 9-2-1 in January, topping the record of eight
January wins set in 2001 by Roy, whose retired number hangs above
the Pepsi Center ice and whose legacy cast a long shadow Aebischer
never could evade.
In 2003-04, Aebischer replaced Roy, who retired after the
2002-03 season after leading Colorado to the Stanley Cup in 1996
and 2001.
Aebischer went 32-19-9 with a 2.09 goals-against average, second
only in club history to Roy's 1.94 mark in 2001-02. He struggled
this season to match that production, especially early on, when he
drew an early hook after some poor starts and even spent several
games in street clothes in December.
