Craig Young Scholars Series
The Rutgers German Department is excited to introduce a lecture series devoted to young scholars of German!
Generously funded by Dr. Charlotte M. Craig and her husband, Bob Craig, the Craig Young Scholar Series aims to provide advanced graduate students, lecturers, and junior professors of German with the opportunity and venue to present their research to the public. Each semester, the German Department will invite young scholars of German from around the country to present a public lecture at the university.
Spring 2016
For the inaugural year of this series, the department is pleased to welcome:
Barbara Natalie Nagel, Princeton University
"Coquettish Sovereigns - Flirtation and Gender Inversion in German Realism (Storm, Fontane)"
January 27, 2016, 12pm-1:30pm
"In saying no and saying yes, in surrendering and refusing to surrender themselves, women are the masters," Georg Simmel marvels in his seminal essay On Flirtation (1909). According to Simmel, this female empowerment is the result of a queer role-switch occurring in heterosexually-structured scenes of flirtation: the woman "takes on his decision, even if only in a symbolic and approximate fashion." The talk on Coquettish Sovereigns traces the literaray-historical emergences of this complex constellation in realist German language writers and shows that to some men these role-switches can be quite unsettling if also erotically intriguing.
Barbara Natalie Nagel is an Assistant Professor at Princeton's German Department. At the moment, Barbara is working on a monograph Ambiguous Aggression. Flirtation, Passive Aggression, and Domestic Violence in Realism and beyond. She has published articles, book chapters, and handbook entries on authors including Tacitus, Luther, Jean Paul, Büchner, Melville, Fontane, Jensen, Kafka, Stifter, Hauptmann, and Robert Walser. Her book publications include Der Skandal des Literalen. Barocke Literalisienungen in Gryphius, Kleist, Büchner (2012) and Flirtations: Rhetoric and Aesthetics This Side of Seducation (2015).
Gabriel Trop, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Attraction, Individuation, Indifference in Goethe and Schelling
March 23, 2016, 12pm-1:30pm
Schelling's Naturphilosophie construes nature as a system characterized by localized physical-semiotic operations: movement, resistance, attraction, repulsion, expansion, contraction, binding, dissolution, permeability, and passage through zones of indifferentiation that make possible state changes or changes of identity. This talk proposes that some key works by Goethe—above all, Die Wahlverwandtschaften and Faust II—aestheticize and existentialize the representational strategies of Schelling's Naturphilosophie. Identities become consolidated—and in certain cases, suspended or transformed—through a series of naturphilosophical operations that transcend subjectivity and that nevertheless become constitutive for a subject's sense of self.
Gabriel Trop is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. In addition to articles about Hölderlin, Goethe, Wieland, and other authors, he has written a book entitled Poetry as a Way of Life: Aesthetics and Askesis in the German Eighteenth Century, published by Northwestern University Press (2015).
Annie Pfeifer, Rutgers University-New Brunswick
Talking Trash: A Genealogy of the Ragpicker
April 6, 2016, 12-1:30pm
In her 2001 film, The Gleaners and I, Agnès Varda redefines "gleaner"—a person who collects leftover crops from farmers' fields after they have been commercially harvested—to include anyone who thrives off something others leave behind. Varda herself proclaims to be a gleaner, inserting herself into a rich artistic tradition of ragpicking or junk collecting which already begins with Walter Benjamin and Charles Baudelaire. Analyzing the ragpicker as an important critical and creative force, the talk makes a case for gleaning as a practice of redeploying waste with transformative aesthetic and political implications.
Annie Pfeifer is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Germanic, Russian, and East European Languages and Literatures at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. Her research focuses on twentieth-century German and comparative literature, with a special interest in the areas of literary theory, aesthetics, visual and materials culture, new materialism, and museum studies. She is currently completing her book manuscript on modernist practices of collecting. In 2014-2015, she was a lecturer in German Studies and Comparative Ltierature at the University of Bern, Switzerland. She has forthcoming articles in The New German Critique, as well as in the edited volume Que(e)rying Consent.
Kristina Mendicino, Brown University
Undoing—Creating—Anew: One Else Lasker-Schüler's Der Siebente Tag and the Neue Gemeinschaft
April 20, 2016, 12pm-1:30pm
Before the avant-garde movements with which Else Lasker-Schüler would be associated during and after her collaboration with Herwarth Walden on Der Sturm, she participated in the Neue Gemeinschaft, a collective that should have been, as its members repeatedly proclaimed, at the vanguard of a new life, and at a nigh-immeasurable distance from the political and physical spaces of contemporary Wilhelmine Germany. Unlike her contemporaries Gustav Landauer and Martin Buber, Else Lasker-Schüler never presented a programmatic statement for the Neue Gemeinschaft, nor did she share its participants' emphatic insistence upon the new. But in Der siebente Tag, the cycle of poems she published one year after the collective had dissolved, she poetically engages some of the main preoccupations of the group, setting the collection under the auspices of the second book of Genesis, which beings on the seventh day, when Creation would have been complete and set to rest—only to be told yet again, differently, and to become profoundly troubled. Through close readings, the talk will trace how Lasker-Schüler's poems expose alternative ways of thinking through the aporias of the former avant-garde movement and impart some of the most radical articulations of the problems of creation and novelty at the turn of the century.
Kristina Mendicino is an Assistant Professor for German Studies at Brown University and former Assistant Editor for The German Quarterly. She has published articles on Brecht, Hegel, Celan, Nietzsche, and Hölderlin. Most recently, she completed a monograph on the rhetoric of prophecy in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century German writing entitled Prophecies of Language: The Confusion of Tongues in German Romanticism, which will appear with Fordham University Press.

This double album-The Ocean-Pelagial (2013) is one of those albums that might appeal to people who don't consider themselves metal listeners perse in the way Opeth and Tool do. It is a concept album about the levels or stages of the ocean used as a metaphor for life.
Pelagial topped many a top ten metal list in 2013. This is a well recorded album. It sounds great IMO-audiophile friendly. There are a multitude of styles including post rock. And, it was written originally without vocals. The vocalist was brought in after the tracks were completed-that's my understanding.
As such the band made an interesting move and released a double CD one w/ "extreme" vocals and one instrumental. The instrumental really holds up and in some ways I prefer the instrumental version.
Amazon Editorial says-2013 release, the sixth studio album from the Berlin-based Post Metal band. It is a concept album based on the layers of the ocean, starting at the surface with a light sound ("Epipelagic") and ending with a Doom Metal style ("Benthic").

MUSLIM WOMEN SPEAK : An American Response to the Politics of Bigotry and Ha...
Event description
Dr. King reminds us that, "There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular,but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right."
As the founder of the Muslim Women Speakers Movement, I am bringing together groups of women to discuss the current political environment and how the divisive politics and Islamophobia impacts our communities particularly our children and the fabric of America.
We are asking/seeking to establish three things
1. American politicians/Presidential candidates must not single out American Muslims for attack and fear mongering. American Muslims have not committed any acts of violence. CALL FOR A MORATORIUM ON MUSLIM HATE.
2. The social and professional contributions of American Muslims to be admitted and acknowledged.
3. We seek equal representation and dialogue in the media. We seek to tell America that she is wrong to judge us, blame us and shame us.

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 19, 2012.
Southern Rising is a unique table-top RPG that pits modern society against undead soldiers of the Confederacy.
This project's funding goal was not reached on June 19, 2012.
Southern Rising is a roleplaying game in which players take on the roles of average citizens (businessmen, school teachers, public servants, police officers, and/or soldiers) trying to stop the rising of the confederacy by any means necessary.
Set in 2011 the game allows modern player characters to take on undead soldiers of the Confederacy, making this a mash-up of genres. It is a skill-based table-top RPG which begs the question, "What if the South did rise again - as UNDEAD!
But wait there's more - Southern Rising is not the typical skill-based role playing game. it has a unique twist.
Historical - Players and Gamemasters can play a strictly historical game set in the 1860's. Have you every wondered what it would be like to be Robert E. Lee on the morning of the pivotal battle of Gettysburg? Would you have made the same moves as Lincoln? Would you have been like a "Stonewall" at the Battle of Bull Run? The Southern Rising RPG allows you to role-play any historical battle of the American Civil War. The game includes weapons and equipment, stats for historical figures and description of locales.
Alternate History - Players and gamemasters can play a historical/supernatural campaign. What really happened at Vicksburg? Did the undead cause Sherman to develop his famed scorched-earth policy? Were Lincoln's conspirators really monster hunters? And what was Lincoln? The Southern Rising RPG contains an army full of monsters to incorporate into your historical campaign. Necromatic magic? Yea we got that too!
Modern Horror - This is the default setting for Southern Rising. The year is 2011 and the South is rising as undead! It's up to the player characters to stop the south before they change the United States for good. The game contains monsters and monster templates to run Civil War soldiers and leaders. You can make George Pickett a zombie, Jeb Stuart a ghoul, Stonewall Jackson a wraith, James Longstreet a ghost or Robert E. Lee a vampire or maybe an immortal Lich. The choice is up to you! There are over 20 possible combinations! The modern campaign also has an armory of modern weapons to dispose of the beasties. Never bring a musket to a fight with an M16.
$5500 - everyone who pledged $10 or more will receive an original civil war RPG soundtrack by composer Matt Campana.
$7500 - everyone who pledged $10 or more will receive a 32-page adventure for Southern Rising on the Siege of Vicksburg.
$10,000 - everyone who pledged $10 or more will receive a fiction novel based on the world of Southern Rising.
The funds raised by Kickstarter will go to artwork, layout, editing, publishing fees and our first print run. It will also be used on marketing and should we reach our first stretch goal, our soundtrack composer.

Israel Approves Begin's Bedouin Land Grab
Israel's government on Sunday approved the recommendations of Minister without portfolio Benny Begin to change the program regulating Bedouin settlements in the Negev. The reform is aimed at solving definitively the issue of Bedouin ownership claims on Negev lands, including a compromise proposal of relocation and financial compensation, bringing an end to illegal Bedouin outposts.
In September 2011 the government approved the Praver Report, which determined a layout for regulating Bedouin settlement in the Negev, facilitating expansion of existing settlements and absorption of some communities within Regional Council Abu-Basma, south and west of the "green line."
Additional settlements will be established as part of the regional master plan for Beer-Sheva.
According to the plan, each settlement will be adjusted to the nature and character of the local population and its needs, and will be executed in cooperation with it.
The plan was accepted with mixed feelings among the Bedouin as well as among right wing critics.
Kalman Libeskind wrote in Ma'ariv about Benny Begin's "stinking maneuver," accusing him and Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein of not just confirming through legal registration what has been essentially an illegal land grab of many thousands of acres by the Bedouins over several decades, but also promising them many new settlements to boot.
Libeskind pointed out that while the Weinstein refused to permit the application of the Levy Committee recommendations to apply Israeli law in Judea and Samaria because the government is in a lame duck period – has no duck issue when it comes to giving away enormous swaths of Jewish land to the Bedouins.
The Regavim movement on Friday petitioned the High Court to forbid the government from approving the proposed program at its meeting on Sunday, arguing that Minister Benny Begin will not serve in the next Knesset and so his proposal is a serious case of a last minute grab that should not be sanctioned.

September 1,
2008: The U.S. Navy has begun a
refurbishment program for its 22 cruisers. Costing some $200 million per ship,
the work will extend the life of these ships another five years (to 35 years),
while improving performance and living conditions. New equipment, both
electronic and mechanical, will take up less space, enabling the installation
of more amenities for the crew (like gyms, larger living quarters and the
like). One of the new items to be installed is a reverse-osmosis water
purification system, that will make more potable water available. This is a big
deal, as it means more showers, which will be necessary for all those sailors
spending time on the new treadmills in the new gym. Staying in shape has always
been a hassle at sea, but is particularly critical now that the navy is
strictly enforcing weight limits and physical conditioning standards. Much of
the new equipment will include more automation, and more reliability. That will
mean a lower workload for the crew, and but not a reduction in the size of the
The navy is
planning a similar upgrade program for its 70 Burke class destroyers, extending
their useful life from 35 to 40 years. This is necessary because the new class
of DDG-1000 destroyers has been
cancelled, and the new frigates (er, Littoral Combat Ships, that is) are
delayed because of design problems and cost overruns.

Project Description
I have a CRM software application that runs on PC and I am wanting to convert to a Mac application that is also integrated with my I-pad. Or, the other option is to convert the PC-based software to a web-based application that I can access anywhere. The 3 devices I would be using the app from are my Macbook Pro, my I-pad and my I-phone. I work as a coach and I use the CRM to manage my client files and invoicing/cashbook. I would also need to be able to drag Word documents that are e-mailed to me and drop them into a client folder on the app. The system doesn't currently do this, so this would need to be an added feature. I'm not techie, so not sure how complex this conversion is.

MARC 47/S/TMR/CG Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of MARC 47/Sin our 2015, and 2016 Marc Jacobs range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. Plastic is a very lightweight and flexible material. This ensures a long life and a high level of comfort. Brown is the perfect alternative for those who find black too high in contrast. Brown flatters the face unobtrusively. Blue coloured lenses look very fashionable, but also distort the colour impression and influence the field of view. They are, therefore, suitable as a cool party accessory but less as a protection from the sun while driving. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
The model has already been ordered and will shortly be back in stock. If you order now, you will get the reduced price and once the goods arrive, we will send you your new Marc Jacobs on the same day. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.

Why moon over a celestial identity?
- From: The Courier-Mail
- September 18, 2012
of 2
THE big issues in life can be tough to manage. That's why I embrace the little ones.
Just like Jack Pate. Pate is on a one-man campaign to right one of the great wrongs. He's sticking up for his neighbour. He's looking to rewrite history. He's doing his bit to make the world a better place, or at least to make the place that's right next to the world somewhat better.
He's set up a Facebook campaign to give our moon a name. Even writing that is hard because the poor pockmarked thing needs a qualifier.
It is "our moon" or "the moon", to distinguish it from just "a moon".
"The moon is a stupid name for our moon," Pate says. "As a species, we should ... come up with something even marginally more creative."
The planet Jupiter has 63 moons. None of them is named "Moon".
This has got to be the biggest astronomical gaffe in the universe.
Pate's Facebook campaign has its supporters. They've even started voting on a list of possible candidates.
The most popular option so far is "Neil" - in honour of the guy who made that small step. My immediate reaction is twofold: hey, that's sweet; and thank goodness Buzz didn't get out first.
"Let's have a picnic and watch Buzz rise," somehow doesn't sound right for an enchanted evening.
Other suggestions include Kevin (no, not sure why), Bob (see Kevin), Chuck Norris, Yo Mamma, and, my favourite for the sense of irony, The Sun.
Why do we need to name our moon? As Facebook visitor Joyce Green writes: "If we do not give the moon a name, how can we expect it to obey our commands?"
Naming it makes it belong to us, rather than it just being a big rock that happens to want to swing past looking for attention. Has anyone thought that the moon's orbit is a bit needy, like a six-year-old on a playground swing?
"Look at me. Look at me when I'm full. Look at me when I'm half-full. For crying out loud, I've just turned blue. Look at me!"
It's like Breakfast at Tiffany's, in which Holly Golightly doesn't name her cat: "I don't have the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other."
It's a good point and makes you want to watch that movie again and again, if only to see that great scene in which Holly (Audrey Hepburn) strums her guitar on the fire escape and sings Neil/Kevin/Bob/Chuck Norris/Yo Mamma/The Sun ... River.
It's unforgettable - and apparently unpronounceable too.
Sure, not everyone is convinced. Change is a powerful force and, to loosely paraphrase Isaac Newton, for every force there is an equal and opposite Facebook page.
The people at Campaign to Preserve the Moon's Most Glorious Name Facebook page think the solar system should stay just as it is.
Tell that to Pluto, who since being served an eviction notice is on the outside looking in with Neptune treading water and Uranus feeling twitchy.
Sure, there are those (let's call them astronomers) who will say that The Moon does have a proper name and that this is all too silly for words. What can you say to that except offer them a few more words just as silly.
And so for now I'll look down sheepishly and scuff my feet in the earth. That brings me to the next point in planetary place names.
First stop The Moon. Next, it's back to mother Earth. Or, as I like to say, "Shazza".
Have your say

An installation view of the 1986 exhibition African Sculpture from The University Museum, University of Pennsylvania
Looking Back on African Art: A Partnership of Two Museums
May 13–summer 2016The Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Penn Museum are two of the world's great institutions for the preservation, study, and display of art, and in this city their unique collections coexist in complementary ways. Founded in 1876, the Philadelphia Museum of Art generally shows art from Europe, the Americas, and Asia made during the last two thousand years, up to contemporary art. The Penn Museum (also known as the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology or, simply, the University Museum), founded in 1887, has a broader geographic scope with a focus on mostly older material, such as ancient artifacts. Yet these two museums have consistently found an overlapping interest in traditional art from the African continent. Outside of a small number of sculptures and textiles, the Philadelphia Museum of Art does not have a sizable collection of such works. Instead, over the years it has presented several special exhibitions devoted to the subject, including three—in 1969, 1982, and 1986—of objects borrowed directly from the Penn Museum's important African collections. As the Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrates another exhibition of African art organized in cooperation with the Penn Museum, the documents and photographs in these cases look back on the three earlier partnerships between these neighboring institutions and on the informal division that has helped shape their respective collections.

Probation Oversight, the SFPD Review, Homelessness in LA, and a Bill to Help Homeless KidsFebruary 4th, 2016 by Taylor Walker
On Tuesday, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion by Supes Sheila Kuehl and Mark Ridley-Thomas to form a working group to look into establishing a civilian oversight commission for LA County Probation Department similar to that of the LA County Sheriff's Department.
The working group will report back to the board in 90 days with a plan for moving forward.
"This motion is an essential next step in ensuring that the County's Probation Department is willing and able to provide services needed to support the new and innovative criminal justice policies being adopted at the County and state levels," said Supervisor Kuehl, the motion's primary author.
The Supes' decision follows the release of a fiscal audit two weeks ago that found problematic spending (and non-spending) in the probation department. The largest red flag was an unspent $161 million that should have gone to much-needed rehabilitation and re-entry efforts for adults and kids.
Probation has also gone through a pile of probation chiefs in the last ten years.
The county's most recent probation chief, Jerry Powers, was persuaded to resign after allegations surfaced that he was involved romantically with another probation employee, whom he hired, and who was inappropriately placed in charge of the department's $820 million budget without any prior related experience.
Cal Remington, who took over as interim chief upon Jerry Powers' exit, expressed his support of creating oversight. "The Probation Department is making a commitment to this Board and the public that we will become more transparent, and this is one way to do that. I'm looking forward to this period of study."
Supe. Ridley-Thomas pointed out that the mission of probation—rehabilitation—has, in some ways, been forgotten. "The fundamental mission [of probation] is to engage in rehabilitation of the youngsters and, for that matter, the adults who are under the supervision of probation," said Ridley-Thomas. "It is almost as if the language of rehabilitation is an afterthought, in many respects. And I would like to see us return to that fundamental mandate and mission."
Alex Johnson, executive director of the Children's Defense Fund of California, said the timing is right for a "bold" effort to reform probation in LA County as the state and the rest of the nation shift into a focus on rehabilitative reforms. "There's a climate shift—a national climate shift, and a statewide climate shift—for the criminal justice and juvenile justice reform era," said Johnson. Government agencies, advocates, community-based organizations, and the public at large already demonstrated care and commitment to coming together for reform."
Earlier this week, the US Department of Justice announced it would launch a review of the San Francisco Police Department following the controversial shooting of Mario Woods.
Normally, when the feds step in, they address patterns of civil rights violations, in part, by forcing the re-training of officers and policy changes, only leaving when the law enforcement agencies comply with most of the DOJ's demands.
But this time, the DOJ will be conducting the SFPD review via a Collaborative Reform Initiative run by the DOJ's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) that was used for the first time in 2011. This form of review, rather than forcing reforms upon an agency, makes recommendations and then leaves the rest up to city or county officials.
Frontline's Sarah Childress has more on the collaborative review process, including where it has worked, and where it has failed. Here's a clip:
The reform process doesn't preclude federal officials from opening a pattern-or-practice investigation later on, if they deem it necessary, as they did in Baltimore last year.
In October 2014, the Justice Department began a review of the Baltimore police department amid residents' complaints of police misconduct. But then in April 2015, after Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old African-American man, died in police custody, federal officials decided to open a pattern-or-practice investigation.
In explaining the decision at the time, Lynch told reporters that the collaborative review process needed support from the police and city officials, but also local residents. Community trust in the police had been "severed" in Baltimore, she said, and the issues facing the police department were "much more serious, and they were much more intense" than when the review process began.
Lynch said that federal officials would seek a court-enforceable agreement in Baltimore. The investigation there is still ongoing.
The Justice Department has had the ability to investigate departments since 1994, but the collaborative reform initiative only started in 2011. Just one department, the Las Vegas Metropolitan police, has completed the process so far, and data there suggests some progress.
The LA Times' Robert Greene says LA County, rather than city, holds the largest share of culpability for—and obligation to reverse—LA's homelessness crisis. Although in the past the supervisors have avoided the responsibility, the county's current homelessness plan, which the board is expected to consider next week, looks promising. Here's a clip:
Los Angeles County government handles jails, foster care, emergency rooms and, in large portions of the county, law enforcement. But the county — with its 100,000 employees, its $26.9-billion budget and its five-member Board of Supervisors — is almost unknown compared with the city, Mayor Eric Garcetti and the City Council. The city gets the headlines for its emergency declarations and its promises of funding. The county is mistakenly seen as an obscure bystander.
Yes, the city of Los Angeles has an important role in meeting the homelessness challenge. City laws and police practices determine whether people living on streets and sidewalks will be arrested and whether their belongings will be confiscated. City leaders have to figure out how to meet the need for housing units, how to pay for them and how to overcome community resistance to new buildings and new neighbors who have histories of homelessness and, perhaps, mental illness or addiction.
The same is true for Long Beach, the next most populous city in Los Angeles County. And for Glendale, the next biggest after that. And for the next, and the next – Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale, Pomona and in fact each of the county's other municipalities. Their local policing and land use ordinances have a direct bearing on the fate of people who live on the streets of each of those cities. Any solution to L.A.'s homelessness necessarily includes all 88 city halls.
But county government has by far the largest responsibility for homelessness and for solutions meant to address it. The county is on the supply side, because county institutions feed the streets and stoke the misery when they discharge people who have nowhere to go: Young adults who age out of foster care with no home and no income. Medical patients who are discharged from county hospitals. Inmates leaving jail. Patients leaving mental health clinics. And the county bears at least partial responsibility for people such as domestic violence victims who leave shelters but can't go back home, and young sex trafficking victims who flee from their abusers.
Because it operates the jails, foster care and all those other institutions, it is the county as well that holds the key to ending much of the misery. County government is the chief provider of social services and has the obvious responsibility for people who are discharged to the streets. The county has the same responsibility that cities do to site and build affordable housing; but it also has the ability to craft solutions that require no new housing and little new money for people like the inmate returning from jail, wanting to get his kids back.
The county may lack the tools to deal with more systemic problems like poverty and inequity, both of which push people to the streets. But apart from the federal government, the county has the chief role in dealing with the fallout.
There are many ways the county can abdicate that responsibility, and it has tried most of them…
On Wednesday, Assemblymember Young Kim (R-Fullerton) announced a bill that would ramp up emergency services, including temporary housing, for California's homeless and trafficked kids.
The money will go specifically to the Homeless Youth and Exploitation Program and the California Youth Crisis Line.
According to California Homeless Youth Project estimates, in 2014, over 298,000 kids in grades K-12 experienced homelessness at some point during the year.
Together the two programs only receive $1.3 million in state funding, which allows the programs to serve around 5,000 kids per year. Kim's bill would increase that number by $25 million.
"The number of homeless youth in California is staggering. In my district alone, there are nearly 8,600 homeless public school children," said Kim. "Current services for homeless youth aren't getting the job done in providing them with the basic necessities like food, shelter, job training, and basic life skills. By providing them with our love and support while young, we can put our homeless youth on the road to successful careers and bright futures."

About Eric Maring
A native of Washington, D.C., folk-pop singer/songwriter/guitarist Eric Maring had performed around the world, including gigs as far reaching as Lima, Peru, and Calcutta, India, but it was at a hometown establishment, Franklyn's Coffeehouse Café, where he held down a weekly residency (and perfected his craft) from 1997 through 1999. 2001 saw the release of Maring's debut album, Birdsong (on the Orchard label), which both musically and lyrically included references to his experiences traveling Asia and South America, all the while including elements of rock, pop, and folk. Maring is also quite an accomplished acoustic guitarist, who often experiments with alternate tunings, fingerpicking, and strumming styles. His debut proved to be quite a rich one sonically, as he incorporated into the tunes such uncommon instruments as a dulcimer from Thailand, a 12-string Portuguese guitar, an eight-string Peruvian charango, a Peruvian flute called an Okarina, and a unique percussion instrument called the Joia Tubes, and was joined by such guests as guitarist Josh Michaud, vocalists Gregory Heelan and Lisa Moscatiello, plus drummers Steve Fox and Robbie Magruder. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi

Depression and I might have a drinking problem
Q: Dear Doc, Im a 28 year old man. We moved from england to fiji. then fiji to brisbane. I have been in australia for 14 years. I have been on and off anti depressonates. I am now on them for the rest of my life. I am very lonely still and dont really have close friends to do things with. Resently i wen to court for drink driving and i find that when im low i hit the booze. my parents tell me i dont hae a drinking problem. its because im lonely and bored. I find my parents know to much about me and lie to them as i dont always want them to know what i get up to. i dissapear for weeknds as i dont want to be around my parents. I am very lonely and fed up of tying to make friends in aus. im not sure if i could live in england agaain. I eat, drink and womanise to make myself better. if there any advice you can give me or a suggestion for tablets etc etc Thnks for your time Matt
In my opinion consultation with a psychiatrist for psychotherapy or behaviour therapy may help you deal with drinking problem, lonliness and depression. You need to develop a healthy and active lifestyle for better outcomes. Have a healthy diet and quitting alcohol may certainly help improve your body and mind health.
