We're on week two of this right now in my house! Went from a wonderful, regular sleep routine that started with a good 7 hour stretch to now up about every two to two and a half hours after a first stretch of about five. I know five sounds good, but she's also going to bed a LOT earlier all of a sudden because of a decrease in daytime naps, so unless I go to sleep really early I don't get that full five hour stretch. I've also noticed that she is eating a lot more frequently during the day as well, anyone else?

Darren Shoemaker, 50, plead guilty to one felony count of sexual battery with a minor as part of a Rule 11 agreement. The agreement, presented by Defense Attorney Danny Radakovich and the State dismissed five counts of rape.
"How do you wish to plead, guilty or not guilty?" asked Judge Jeff Brudie.
"Guilty," said Shoemaker.
"And why are you pleading guilty to that charge Mr. Shoemaker?" asked Brudie.
"Because it's true," said Shoemaker.
According to court documents, Shoemaker allegedly raped a woman under the age of 17 in 2009. However, per the agreement, the five counts of rape were dismissed. Shoemaker could face up to 25-years in prison and a $50,000 fine for the sexual battery charge.
Shoemaker will appear in 2nd District Court for a change of plea hearing on April 11th.

I have been a gamer now for over 2 decades. I am an avid gamer, that enjoys almost all games (RTS games just don't enjoy me) and have all major systems and a gaming PC. But even with the thousands of dollars I have spent in an attempt to waste my quickly vanishing free time I seem to be running out of good turn based RPGs.
Maybe I have just gotten simple in my old age, but I enjoyed having a command bar with Fight, Magic, and Item. Sure I would like a few more options, like some of the glory day FF games like the SNES and PS1 FF games, except 8 (I hated that game). My RPGs are turning into action games, and no sir I do not like it. I would have enjoyed FFXIII a lot more if it would have been an old fashioned turn based game.
I may be alone on this but what I truly enjoyed of the classic RPGs is it felt like I was playing a book. I felt more involved with all of the characters on the screen, not just the one I selected as my party leader. I don't want a supporting cast of AI controlled tag along, I want my party, and I want to control them all at my pace.
Also what ever happened to the world map? The world just seems smaller to me without it. I know its odd seeing your guy the size of a major town, but it created some distinction between being in civilization, and being in the wild. I always enjoyed exploring the world to see if there was anything hiding behind that mountain range, or in the oddly shaped woods. With the way things are now I feel more like I am going from hallway to room to hallway.
Oh well, There never was a large selection of good RPGs out there, and most of the good ones have either vanished, or changed beyond recognition. Give me a Suikoden like 1 or 2, Bring back Breath of Fire, where is my new turn based Phantasy Star?
I don't know, if I'm not alone please post your own thoughts and spread the word. If there are others like me out there let it be known, and maybe we can get a game for us again.

Art critic Lori Waxman gives her reviews in public
Culture is more than an enveloping painting on a museum wall or the confounding installation at an upstart gallery. It exists in the way we look at, talk about and express ourselves about art.

Change in organizational structure set
Information provided by press release.
The Board of Directors of American Legion Hospital announced Monday that they have initiated a change in organizational structure.
Effective March 15, Terry Osborne will assume the position of American Legion Hospital Corporation (ALHC) CEO. In his new position, Osborne will be responsible for managing the corporation's legal assets and joint ventures that remain intact after ALHC turns over management control of ALH to Lafayette General Health (LGH).
Osborne will not have any involvement in the day-to-day operations of American Legion Hospital.
As previously announced, LGH is working with ALHC to assume management and operations of the Crowley-based hospital and all of its clinical operations, equipment and staff. LGH is expected to announce details of the upcoming management agreement sometime in mid-to-late April.
ALHC will not pursue potential candidates to replace Osborne, instead, the board of directors has decided to let LGH begin a national search. The goal is to have a new CEO in place prior to the hospital's transition under Lafayette General Health.
Charmaine Vidrine, ALH's Chief Financial Officer, will act as interim CEO until the transition with LGH management is completed. Vidrine will be responsible for all hospital operations and reports directly to the board of directors.
About American Legion Hospital
Since its founding in 1928, when the American Legion Acadia Post 15 reopened the shuttered Crowley Sanitarium as "Legion Memorial Hospital," Crowley's only hometown hospital has been driven to serve its community.
In 1950, Acadia Post 15 formed a nonprofit to operate the hospital, resulting in a new charter for American Legion Hospital (ALH).
In 1987, American Legion Hospital moved to its modern location on U.S. East Hwy. 90. Today, the hospital staffs 178 beds and employs over 450 people to serve a growing parish population of approximately 62,000.
If ALH were located in Lafayette, it would be just eight licensed beds shy of the second-largest hospital in the city.
American Legion Hospital provides for acute medical and surgical care, obstetric, gynecology, pediatric, orthopedic, otolaryngology, cardiac, psychiatry, nephrology, ophthalmology, oncology, emergency services, vein therapy, wound care and hyperbaric medicine.
In addition to the main campus, the hospital operates a psychiatric hospital in Rayne and two offsite outpatient departments: a Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine in Tower One, and a Cardiac Outpatient Services clinic on Northern Avenue in Crowley.

Euro court to rule on gay partner's pension rights
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Over and over and over again we get told that all of these "partnership" laws provide ALL the rights and benefits of marriage and over and over and over again we discover, through dribs and drabs, that this claim is bunk.The fact of the matter is NO separate institution will EVER be equal to marriage.European countries need to pass full marriage equality (including the name) for ALL of their citizens, gay and straight. Otherwise they have NO right to look down their noses at America and pretend that they treat their gay and lesbian citizens with FULL legal equality.Except for in Holland, Belgium, Spain and soon Sweden, that simply is NOT true.It's time for England to take the next step as well.Civil Unions should be available to ALL and Marriage should be available to all.
Well done Tadao Maruko!I retired with over 30 year's service with one company and after sharing my life for 37 years with my (now) Civil Partner. The company still denies my Partner the equivalent pension rights provided to a spouse. They will only meet the minimum legal requirements which is half the GMP since 1988 and half the Protected Rights since 1997 – a fraction of my full pension. Even with this ruling I bet they still will try to wriggle out of it!
Ian, would the same pension and GMP rules apply if you'd married a woman had you been in the same situation? If not, then this clearly would prove that your partnership is not equal to a married couple. I'd be interested to know the outcome of straight married couples in an identical situation.
Re Robert's query on my original posting: Had I a spouse then she would receive 50% of my entire pension on my demise. Clearly, in this respect , Civil Partnership does not equal marriage!
Ian, thank you very much for the clarification. I had a gut feeling that was the case, then it clearly does prove that partnerships are not equal or an equivalent as most claim they are. It also demonstrates the need for full equality and I hope the government will address that in the coming months. Thank you again.

She just screams generic NT red head.
Why is that rose green?Seriously...
Of course, since the reproductive parts are missing, the green rose is sterile - an evolutionary dead end, except that it seduces humans, who propagate it from cuttings. Some gardeners have claimed that their green roses reverted to a pink-flowered parent form.

Progress Ranch
for boys 6-15
In operation since 1976, Progress Ranch is a home for boys between the ages of 6 and 15. Our facility has six beds. We are located in a residential neighborhood in the city of Davis, and boys are eligible to attend Davis public schools.
Check out the video -- Shammawn Wright visits Progress Ranch
The former UCD Football Player met with the boys. Shamawn himself lived in a group home, so he related very personally to these young boys.
Our Executive Director, Wendi Counta, a long-time Davis resident, has over twenty years of experience working with children. She was the Residential Director at Families First for the past fifteen years. Her educational background is in Human Services management.
The Board of Directors is comprised of local residents who recognize the need for caring, community-based programs for children at risk. They meet monthly in Davis. A packet of material to describe board service opportunities is available upon request.

Resorts: Management and Operation (Third Edition)by Robert Christie Mill
The 3rd Edition of Resorts: Management and Operation is a summary of almost 30 years of thought, analysis, and research into the field of resort management written from a business viewpoint yet takes into account the unique structure of resorts. The text is divided into three sections. Each section has a philosophical basis for the inclusion of the subsequent principles and practices. The first section covers major types of resorts: those that are mountain-based, beach-based and golf/tennis based. Two chapters are devoted to each of the various resort types. The first chapters of each resort type focuses on development issues with the impact on operations noted throughout. The second chapter in each resort type deals with guest profiles and management issues. The second section highlights what makes managing a resort different from managing a 'regular' hotel. The final section features a newly expanded chapter on spas, pools, and indoor water parks along with individual chapters on specialty resorts, cruise ships and casinos, reflecting the importance of these types of properties.

Animated, with voices by Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joseph Fiennes
In this animated children's film, a character tells the movie's titular hero, "You're cute, but not that cute." The remark serves as a pithy assessment of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas as well. Although kids will contentedly sit through it, rooting for Sinbad and laughing at the antics of Spike, his pet dog, this cartoon lacks the verbal snap and visual crackle that have made such recent animated wonders as Finding Nemo and Shrek pop.
Sinbad (Pitt) is a pirate who falls for his best friend's gutsy girl (Zeta-Jones) while undertaking a perilous sea voyage to recover a magical book stolen by a wicked goddess (Pfeiffer). The animation, blending the hand-drawn and digitally created, rarely knocks your turban off. The voice work by big names yields mixed results: Pfeiffer purrs deliciously as she plots destruction, Zeta-Jones pumps sufficient spunk into her lines, but Pitt rarely rises above adequate. (PG)
BOTTOM LINE: What becomes a Legend—not

Mr. James, can you tell me why the Department of Homeland Security has purchased, and is stockpiling, insane quantities of "hollow-point" ammo of all calibers, including #00 tactical shotgun ammo, anti-personnel pistol rounds and match-grade .308 sniper rounds? As the DHS fights no foreign wars and only has jurisdiction in the United States, the only purpose of this ammo can be for use against the American people.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WJLA) - A new specialty is developing in the world of fertility preservation focused on female cancer patients.
Women are increasingly freezing their eggs and embryos before cancer treatment begins, because the treatment can cause premature menopause and infertility.
Mary and Jim Craige cherish every minute with their two boys. After their son Liam was born in 2009, the Craiges wanted to try for a second child immediately.
"We thought it would be as simple as the first time," Jim Craige said.
But then, the unthinkable happened.
"I found a lump in my breast during a breast self-exam and I was diagnosed with breast cancer a month later," Mary Craige said. "The first thing I said was, 'I can't have cancer, I have a 6-month-old.'"
Though some women don't know it, chemotherapy can cause premature menopause.
"At 34, I was in full-blown menopause," Mary Craige said.
Fortunately, her oncologist had advised her to look into fertility preservation before her cancer treatment began. Craige chose to freeze her embryos.
"Since she had a stable relationship, it's usually better to freeze embryos; they have a higher pregnancy rate," said reproductive endocrinologist Dr. David Saffron.
In 2010, doctors at Shady Grove Fertility Center extracted Craige's eggs, inseminated them, and froze the embryos, which remained in the lab for three years. Once Craige's oncologist gave her the go-ahead for pregnancy, her embryos were thawed and implanted.
"There [were] only two that survived, so they implanted both of them," Mary Craige said. "That was the only shot that we had."
Just nine days later, she took a home pregnancy test.
"I woke my husband up at 6 a.m. and said, 'We're pregnant!'" Craige said.
Dr. Saffan says successful pregnancies, involving cancer patients using frozen embryos, are becoming much more common.
"We do [a] pretty good numbercertainly several monthly," Dr. Saffan said.
Mary Craige has been cancer free for almost five years. With her son Gavin's arrival, she says her family is complete.
"I'm healthy and we have a healthy baby," she said. "He's our miracle; we are very blessed to have him."
Dr. Saffan says women need to act immediately when they're diagnosed with cancer, because they typically only have a month or two to extract their eggs before their treatment begins. Though this process can be quite expensive, Mary Craige says their insurance covered half, and a non-profit called Fertile Hope helped with the cost of her medications.

Headquarters Library Theater & Atrium: February 27 - March 24, 2016
Celebrating 21 Years:
For the past 20 years, the CRRL has provided every student in our service area with a unique opportunity--the chance to exhibit their work as a professional artist. Teen artists in grades 9-12 submit their work for a month long display at the Headquarters Library. Almost every year, the older students' work has been judged by the internationally renowned local artist Johnny Johnson. Students in grades 11 and 12 develop critical evaluation skills by judging the work of younger participants.
The library is proud to provide a forum for young artists to be recognized for their work. For the second year, the Teen Art Show will be a stop on Fredericksburg's First Friday event Friday, March 4, 6:00-9:00. It's not uncommon for library customers to be interested in purchasing teen art or to commission new work.
Artist Johnny Johnson will judge the Grades 11-12 category prior to the opening.
Participants in grades 11-12 will judge the Grades 9-10 category right before the opening reception.
For more information please call Youth Services at 540-372-1144.
Artists with Influence:
Teen artists have more than talent. They have influence – influence that can change their community for the better. This year we would like to give art show participants the option of sharing their talent to improve the lives of needy families in our area by beautifying their homes with artwork.
Hope House provides a safe haven for homeless mothers and their children residing in the Central Rappahannock region who want to learn the life skills needed to become self-sufficient. As they do so, our donated artwork will be placed in their homes.
While art show participants are certainly not required to donate their artwork to Hope House, we make donating as simple as possible for those who would like to do so. To donate your artwork, simply leave it at the library after April 11th, and we will deliver it to Hope House for you.

TRENTON - Gov. Christie on Friday unceremoniously signed a $32.9 billion state spending plan that takes effect Monday, capping a legislative budget-making season devoid of the usual fireworks.
Christie, a Republican up for reelection this year, negotiated the budget with leaders of the Democratic-controlled state Legislature.
Though some changes from Christie's initial proposal were made, they amounted to mostly tinkering around the edges of a budget that largely maintains the status quo. It was the first time since 2010 Christie and lawmakers negotiated a spending plan.
"It was pretty close to everything I wanted," he said at a news conference this week.

3132 Tasting Notes
Ha, I'm a terrible tealogger sometimes. Forgot I brewed this up all nice and delicious with milk and sugar last night. I was working on a presentation until the wee hours of the morning, and it was deliciously indulgent. With that presentation completed, I'm now working on #2 which is to be given tomorrow morning. Yay for committee meetings… Anyways, I had two tasty cups of it (but forgot to reduce the water for the second cup to make it better. Sad sad.)
I was craving a creamy coconutty tea tonight. Not quite this one… haha, I just realized that it is/was DavidsTea's Buttercream that I'm craving! (Or Persimmon's Coconut Creme, but Buttercream is better.) Glad I figured that out! Anyways, this was the only non-black coconut option I could think of for the time being (I'm sure I have tons of others, I'm just blanking). It's highly satisfying and toasty as usual, but I'm really craving that touch of sweetness that either of the other two teas would give me. No regrets on brewing this up though, I haven't had it in a while!
For whatever reason, I'm really enjoying this today in spite of still thinking it a bit on the weak side. I can really taste the delicious base tea, with the light spicing floating overtop, and it's really quite pleasant. I needed a change from the teas I've been drinking repeatedly lately, and I bought 2 oz. of this one, so into the cup it went! Good choice, self :D
I actually think that might be the ratio I used! It was three rounded/rough teaspoons in my large mug, which is likely 14 oz. (Or perhaps 12, but I suspect 14).
I thought this was 3 tsp plus 1/2 tsp to 14 oz. so you'd be weak at 3 tsp. (2 tsp per 8 oz is on the website)
Well, they were generous teaspoons to be sure, but thanks for pointing that out! I think I may have assumed 1.5 tsp to 8 oz. Wonder if that's part of the problem! It's enjoyable today though :D
Drumroll…I made him some tonight with 4 teaspoons for 14oz of water and he said it was refreshing, and the flavor was perfect. I just need to read instructions more often!
Nom nom nom. A travel mug of this one accompanied me to the boy's house last night! Drank it in between pathetic attempts at playing songs on Rocksmith. I am clueless about playing the guitar (which is super frustrating because I'm decent at piano, and seem to think that the two should correlate a heck of a lot better than they do!) Ah well. Practice makes perfect…
I do hope that this one was in the 12 Days sampler, although I didn't order the sampler, Frank usually offers the teas in the sampler box as a limited reblend … and I'd love to get more of it.
Was this tea a popular tea when it was released? I think this was before my Steepster days. It doesn't really sound that appetisizing to me, but I've heard really good things about it (I also ordered the 52teas christmas sampler, too)
Thanks Teavivre for yet another generously-sized sample of a tea I'm quite interested in trying! I seem to have developed a fondness for jasmine whites instead of jasmine greens, so hopefully this one works for me!
The aroma emanating from the packet is strongly of a sweet, delicious jasmine. It almost makes me think candy! Delicious. The tea is a bit more subdued (probably a good thing), but has a nice jasmine aroma that makes me think of Chinese food (haha), but unlike the tea I have at my favourite Chinese restaurant, the flavour here is sweet and delicate (and quite floral, although that's the same), and completely smooth and silky. All the jasmine deliciousness without the bitterness/astringency from green tea.
I'm not quite sure whether I prefer Verdant's Yunnan White Jasmine or this tea (I'm not likely to keep multiple white jasmines on hand), so will have to do a comparison one day.
Thanks to Teavivre for a sample of this tea! I haven't tried too many dragon wells yet, so am happy for the opportunity to try out another one and see how it compares!
The aroma of the brewed tea is light and sweet and a bit like boiled veggies (although that's really only a hint). Unfortunately, I think I really underleafed this tea (forgot I was using a bit mug, and probably only scooped in ~1.5 tsp), and I am not getting a lot of flavour from it in spite of oversteeping it by over a minute. What I can taste is a bit of rock sugar sweetness in kind of a boiled veggie broth. Not astringent at all (but I've found that dragonwells don't seem to get as astringent as some other greens for whatever reason). I'll have to give this another shot later, but it's certainly promising!
This tea is surprisingly tasty! A hint of ginger and yes, artificial fruity flavours that make it taste like a light fruit punch. But it's somehow quite delicious. I drank the cup before writing this note and now can't remember everything, so I'll have to fill the rest in later. But, I think that will come quite soon as I think I may travel mug some for tonight :D
ETA: Second infusion is light and a bit citrusy. It's good! I think this tea is what I want herbals to be like – light on the fruit so it's not overpowering, and hibiscus-free! Seriously, if any of you ordered this one from Caraway, I'd recommend you give it a shot. My expectations weren't high, but this is pretty darn good. I wouldn't say it's anything special, like a Butiki blend, but it's good for what it is!
So, I inadvertently brewed up two peach blacks this morning, as I was unaware that the tea I received from Sil had peach flavouring as well! (Actually, it just occurred to me that the third sample I brought down is also peach! But it's Peach Ginger White, or something to that effect. I guess I had peaches on the brain…) This sample was of course generously provided by Azzrian! Thanks for the chance to try out your custom blend! :D
Now, a disclaimer. I hate beer. I probably don't like hops. I am apparently picky about peach flavouring in tea (well, it may just be DavidsTea's peach flavouring). However, this is too cool to pass up!
Brewed up, it smells a bit peachy, and there's another flavour I can't quite put my finger on. Perhaps it's the hops, but I don't really know why they'd be familiar. Or maybe it's peach flavouring from another tea? Oh wait… it kind of smells like…. Butiki's Apricot Guayasa! I think that's the association I'm making. Anyways. The flavour is definitely interesting. I'm getting some bitterness but not really astringency… is this the hops? They are bitter, aren't they? Bleeehhhhhhh. I can taste some delicious peachiness in there too, but the bitterness is making me sad. I suspect this is a yum tea for beer drinkers, but not so much for me. So bitter my mouth is getting all contorted, haha.
On that note, if anyone I'm swapping with in the near future is curious to try this tea, I have a couple cups' worth to send off! I wouldn't suggest trying it if you dislike bitterness or beer. :) No rating because I should have known I wouldn't like it (and therefore a 30 is soooo mean!)
Hops is super bitter, kind of white grapefruity but more bitter. When I was making this tea for Azzrian, I tasted all ingredients separately as I do when I make blends to understand how they would contribute to the blend. So, I added a lot of hops to hot water and let it sit for a bit. Without thought, I tried a lot of the hops tea and it was huge shock to me. That was the most bitter drink I have ever tasted and that moment will certainly stick with me. Literally had to dump half out and add half water, then repeat that like 4 or 5 times before it was even close to drinkable. I will say, I can now easily pick the taste of hops out of a beer.
Hahahahaha, that's awesome! Yeah, I think they're at a good level in this blend for people who can tolerate such things, but I can't handle the bitterness/flavours of beer, so it's not shocking that I dislike this too! I did drink the whole cup though :D
Wasn't so awesome at the time but now its funny looking back on it. I did notice that some of the bitterness goes away and more of the peach comes out when you add sugar but sounds like hops aren't for you.
Yeah, it would probably be more tolerable sweetened, but I'd prefer to be able to drink it without! It occurred to me that my beer-loving gluten-intolerant roomie might be interested to try this tea – is it gluten-free?
Ok… I have to be honest. Sil gave this to me in a swap when we met up far too long ago, and I had pretty much dismissed it as a random black tea, meh, not my favourite, but something I will eventually try out of curiousity. I had thrown it into my "try these!" box a while back simply because it was a tea I hadn't tried that I happened to run across, because my teas from Sil & Indigobloom never found their way into separate boxes like everything else did, and so they were sitting out on my never-used desk chair.
Anyways, I had a good sleep last night post-crappiness and am enjoying an excellent morning of working on research stuff at the dining room table with the house all to myself (I think). Either way, no interruptions, music's up, and things are feeling pretty good :D So I decided I'd tackle a bit of that box to make myself feel even better! Since it's early in the day, I decided black teas would be fantastic, and pulled this one out.
As soon as I opened the bag, I was hit with an aroma I was totally not expecting… this is flavoured tea? I definitely thought it was just a breakfast blend sort of thing (yes, there are bits in it, but I guess I didn't consider that). Instant regret for not trying this sooner, because gosh this smells tasty! It smells a little fruity to me, and sweet with some sort of delicious flavouring. Once the water hit the tea, it smelled even better :D And the verdict is….? YUM! I really kind of like this! I would swear that there's a fruitiness in here, but apparently it's just vanilla/caramel/maple…. Haha, actually, I see juuuust above my tasting note box, now, that this has peach in it! Yes, it totally tastes like peach!! Oh man. This is tasty! The flavouring isn't super in-your-face, but it's quite present enough to make this tea delicious. The only downside is that I'm getting definite astringency, and I would prefer none of that. I might try a shorter infusion, but I'm worried that it might impact the rest of the flavours. There's a great sweet peachy aftertaste, but unfortunately it's a bit marred by the astringency.
Thanks so much for this one, Sil! More proof that I need to stop being silly and just try all the samples I have, because you never know what things may actually taste like!
LOL glad you liked it. Always nice when teas find homes in multiple places. I'm mostly over the tea emporiums teas unless their revamp has changed the blendings. I find that a lot of their teas have an astringency or a smiliar taste I don't love. Maybe we need to treat this one like a 52's teas black heh

ECS NF650iSLIT-A Motherboard - Much more affordable than 680i
The platform for Core 2 keeps growing on a daily basis - chipsets are coming left, right and centre - and we are more than pleased about that.
Intel has chipsets for their processor and it is no surprise that both are for high-end (975X), mainstream (P965) and value (G965). While Intel does make their own chipsets and some are very solid indeed, they aren't always the most feature rich or technically impressive, what the market even wants. I do remember the old Intel I820 chipset and the attempt to push people on to RDRAM (Rambus) but that was a total failure, which they seem to have learnt from.
nVidia is definitely the major player in the Core 2 market. AMD/ATI does have a chipset for this market, but we haven't heard much more about upcoming chipsets for this platform. VIA has no intention of pushing into the market as the major player, only SiS has the opportunity, and they are starting to work on this.
Today we are looking at nVidia's mainstream SLI product designed to keep the costs down but give the customer something that is worth the money. Today we are looking at the nVidia nForce 650i SLI chipset in the form of the version 1.0 NF650iSLIT-A motherboard from ECS.
Its advantage is that it is cheaper than more expensive 680i SLI and 680i SLI LT motherboards but does that make it a substandard motherboard? Let's read on and check out the onboard features, performance and overclocking and then try and make a decision.

Title: Rav HaKolel, A Biography Of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef
Latest update: June 10th, 2013
At this point the community was outraged at the terrible and vicious attack and demanded that the mayor of New York City immediately investigate and punish the attackers. The investigation dragged on and very little was done. (To end this story, a few weeks later Hoes treated their workers to an outing on the Hudson River, and during the festivities, their boat sank.)
R. Yaakov Yosef was put to rest in Cypress Hill Cemetery. In retrospect, perhaps had he devoted his energies and tremendous abilities to establishing schools and yeshivas, he might have attracted a stronger backing for his attempts to raise the standards of Jewish life in New York.
The book is available at most Judaica outlets.

DIC: Domain Name Registries to Promote DNSSEC
The DNSSEC Industry Coalition (DIC) was founded in the U.S. with the goal to drive further development and acceptance of the DNSSEC security protocol. The consortium includes a half dozen top Domain Name Registries and software developers that are currently laying out an action plan.
Despite regular crises in the Domain Name System (DNS) and weaknesses of relevant software, such as shown by recent DNS attacks, the DNSSEC protocol has had a slow adoption rate. According to a recent survey by the Measurement Factory, among the estimated 11.9 million existing nameservers only a minute proportion use DNSSEC. The coalition intends to address this issue.
Certain registries have found common ground. Among them are the ones for the top domains .org, .info, .edu, .com, .net, and for country specific ones like .se, .uk, .tv and .cc. Add to these software providers such as ISC and BIND, which is by far the greatest provider of nameserver software.
In their announcement, the members of the DNSSEC Industry Coalition promise to develop common tools and applications to make DNSSEC easier to adopt. They also intend to set an example. The effect this will have on users outside the big ISPs is still to be seen. Technical solutions for DNSSEC have existed for a long time, but top name registries have been reluctant to adopt them up to now.

text: Seattle Public Schiools Striking Seattle Teachers, District Officials To Resume Contract Talks Saturday By Kyle Stokes • Sep 11, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:19 The full negotiating teams for Seattle Public Schools and the district's striking teachers union will resume talks on a new contract this weekend, bringing the two sides back to the bargaining table for the first time in more than three days. The announcement Friday afternoon comes after the third full day of a strike that's kept more than 53,000 students out of school since Wednesday and ends a stalemate in the negotiations. Seattle Principal, Teacher Placed On Leave After Suspicious Test Results By Kyle Stokes • May 1, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:17 An investigation into who altered students' answers on state standardized tests at Beacon Hill International School has found three district employees breached protocols designed to protect exam materials from tampering, Seattle Public Schools officials have announced. But a months-long investigation still hasn't concluded who altered the test materials themselves, a district spokeswoman said. Seattle Public Schools officials placed two of those employees — Beacon Hill principal Po Tang and ELL teacher Judy Eng — on paid administrative leave Friday. The third who broke the rules, former assistant principal Michele Nishioka, left the district for another job last July. After Uproar, Garfield High School To Be Spared From Teacher Shuffle By Kyle Stokes • Jan 26, 2015 Kyle Stokes / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:22 Garfield High School will apparently not lose a full-time teacher to another short-staffed Seattle school when a new term starts next week, district officials confirmed Monday. Both principal Ted Howard and a leader of the school's parent-teacher organization said Monday they do not expect district officials will force the school to send five Garfield teachers to another school for one-fifth of the day. Seattle instructors to help parents stem kids' summer brain drain By Gabriel Spitzer • May 15, 2013 pastorbuhro / Flickr Summer vacation may be fun, but research shows it wipes out about a month's worth of learning. This weekend, Seattle schools officials will offer strategies to reduce summer learning loss. Since kids are understandably wary of anything that makes summer break feel like school, the key is to make it fun, said Seattle Public Schools' Bernardo Ruiz. Seattle school district considers extending elementary school day By Gabriel Spitzer • Apr 18, 2013 ecastro / Flickr Listen Listening... / 2:04 Seattle Public Schools wants to add a half-hour to the school day for elementary students by as early as the next school year. But the district must first align a number of variables, including funding and union support. Seattle test boycotters rally national support By Gabriel Spitzer • Jan 31, 2013 Gabriel Spitzer / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:07 A group of Seattle teachers is trying to rally national support behind its boycott of a required test, even as they face reprisals from the school district. Teachers protesting the Measures of Academic Progress, or MAP tests, asked their supporters to besiege district headquarters with phone calls and emails. They say the tests waste class time and give misleading information, and they object to MAP scores being used in their own professional evaluations. Standoff escalates over test boycott By Gabriel Spitzer • Jan 24, 2013 Gabriel Spitzer / KPLU Listen Listening... / 1:17 The standoff over a series of tests mandated by Seattle Public Schools heated up Wednesday, as another high school joined a growing boycott of the tests and district leaders threatened protesters with suspension. Teachers say the Measures of Academic Progress, or MAP tests, assess material not covered in class, give poor results and swallow up teaching time. Four schools have rebelled against the tests, with Chief Sealth High the latest to join. Superintendent Jose Banda made clear Wednesday what the consequences of that boycott could be: up to 10 days' suspension without pay. Some Wash. schools boost security after Conn. shooting By Gabriel Spitzer • Dec 14, 2012 School personnel and law enforcement around Seattle are stepping up school security in light to this Friday's shooting in Connecticut. School officials say they know of no threats, but in an abundance of caution they've been taking some extra measures.

Speech by La Via Campesina delegation in the closing ceremony of International Year of Family Farming, Manila, Philippines
- Details
- Published on Thursday, 04 December 2014 14:41
Dear Madam/ Chair and respected dignitaries
I take the floor on behalf of La Via Campesina, the world's largest movement of family farmers, Indigenous people, fisher folks and small scale food producers. All over the world peasants, small scale producers continue to grow and distribute healthy food in their communities and feeding the world. They are indeed the family farmers that feed over 75% of the world population. And it is very important that the International Year of family farming allowed us to increase the attention to this important and crucial sector.
This is in stark contrast to the commercial food industry, whose priorities are profit and speculation and whose strategy is to make agriculture increasingly dependent on agro-toxics and inputs controlled by the corporates, increasing their profits through the sale of toxic chemicals and inputs which is responsible for the destruction of natural resources and peasant based food production and family farming.
Nutrition is not for profit: Second International Conference on Nutrition
- Details
- Published on Friday, 21 November 2014 04:28
(Rome November 20th, 2014)
La Via Campesina and URGENCI, jointly with other Social movements, gathered in Rome for the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), where Member States of FAO and WHO are discussing and adopting a framework for action on nutrition. This event, organised jointly by FAO and WHO, is happening 22 years after the first ICN, 22 years in which no improvements have been made by the international community; 22 years in which the private sector has captured nutrition as a business opportunity to provide a never-ending list of "nutrient-enriched" and GMO pseudo-solutions to consumers. Transnational corporations have no place in trade agreements or our food systems!
Shashe Smallholder Farmer Organisation (SFO): a true centre of agro-ecology
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 21 October 2014 20:42
(Zimbabwe, Masvingo, October 20, 2014) Zimbabwe Small Organic Farmers Forum (ZIMSOFF) represents smallholder farmers practicing organic agriculture in Zimbabwe, a practice promoted through participatory ecological land use planning and management, and encourages value addition to uplift the welfare of members. The organization has about 19,000 smallholder farmers organized in four clusters, namely the western, eastern, northern and central. These clusters are made up of 64 Smallholder Farmer Organizations (SFOs) which nurture dynamic alliances. Shashe SFO, where the Agroecology School is located, is under the central cluster. Shashe farmers are beneficiaries of the Fast Track Land Reform Programme implemented by the Government of Zimbabwe in 2000. They are part of the 380 official land beneficiaries resettled in 2000 at the Shashe block of farms, which covers about 15,020 hectares. Of this area, about 23% was allocated for residential and arable purposes, the rest is grazing. The area is generally dry, receiving about 400mm of annual rainfall, and has deep soils (sandy loams, red clays and a mixture of the two). It was mainly used for ranching by the former white farmers. The new farmers have broadened the land use as they are now producing both crops and livestock
At Shashe farmers employ various agroecological practices to ensure food sovereignty, mitigate climate change effects and reduce dependence on bought-in agro-inputs thus retaining farm income within the family's purse. These practices include the use of organic manure, mulching, minimum tillage, multiple cropping, exchange and use of traditional seeds and open pollinated varieties, among others.

The future of family farming is in our hands

Holly Creighton-Hird (Original article posted on www.theecologist.org)
19th October 2014
Family farming is a hot topic this year. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations has declared 2014 the International Year of Family Farming. And last week, family farming was the focus of World Food Day 2014.
Of course there's is no guarantee that a family farm is well-run or sustainable. But the best farms - those that best preserve traditional food and culture, contribute to balanced and culturally appropriate diets, maintain agricultural biodiversity and use natural resources sustainably - tend to be family farms.

Wednesday Packers practice report: Cobb practices, Lacy sits, no news on Rodgers
Green Bay - Normally, the big news coming out of Wednesday practice is how much Aaron Rodgers practiced, but with the quarterback basically doing the same thing he did a week ago, the more relevant news was that WR Randall Cobb was back on the field and RB Eddie Lacy was not.
Take what you want out of the fact that Rodgers was still working with the third-team center in snapping drills and taking the same amount of snaps he did last week when he wasn't cleared, but none of it really means anything other than than Rodgers probably hasn't been cleared yet.
But we still don't even know that and how much Rodgers works in team drills is far more important than what center he's working with in the first 30 minutes of practice. Plus, it seems logical that a decision on Rodgers would go at least until Thursday since he hasn't practiced in six days.
The big news was that Cobb was practicing for the first time since breaking his leg against the Baltimore Ravens Oct. 13 and being put on injured reserve with a designation for return. Cobb is still on IR and a spot would have to be cleared for him on the 53-man roster if he is to play.
Cobb's work was very basic and probably just the first step in him getting back on the field. He did some running around and caught a few passes from the quarterbacks, but it's not known if he did anything during team drills since that portion is closed to the media. McCarthy had hinted on Monday that Cobb might be cleared to do some things in practice this week.
In addition, RB Eddie Lacy was not around. Lacy aggravated his right ankle sprain against Dallas Sunday and it's not a big surprise that he isn't practicing. He finished the game and was very sore afterward.
McCarthy may address his chances of practicing this week when he speaks at around 1 p.m.
DE C.J. Wilson returned to practice, but LB Brad Jones (ankle), DE Johnny Jolly (shoulder), OLB Mike Neal (abdomen) and TE Brandon Bostick (foot) were not working. LB Nick Perry also wasn't there. It's not known if he aggravated his foot injury or was absent for another reason.

Is this the picture of the future of women's feet? Of course not, most people would say. However, history has a way of repeating itself and history has not been kind to the female foot.
But, before we look at hte brutal, painful history of the beautification of the female foot, I want to make it clear: even today–in Amerierica–some women ut their tootsies under the knife strictly to make them more attractive.
Again, most people would find having surgery on their foot strictly for beauty ridiculous, even crazy. Most people would say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Most podiatrists would agree–and recommend you only have surgery if you have foot pain or a deformity, or some other medical problem.
Other people would argue that many people have surgery on their nose when nothing is medically wrong—they just want to look prettier (or handsome).
When it comes to our feet, dramatic deformation of our natural feet in search of beauty is nothing new.
The Eroticization Of The Female Foot
The most dramatic example of increasing foot attractiveness by deforming the woman's foot comes from the historical practice of Chinese foot binding. For a thousand years, five billion people participated in this torturous practice.
Most women who underwent foot binding were unable to do much work and some as they aged, could not even place their feet on the floor without excruciating pain. As a result, these women needed servants and the lotus foot became a status symbol, something for the well to do and aristocrats. The poor often could not afford to allow a daughter to have her feet bound, as the girl needed to work.
When girls were around five years old, their mothers would begin binding their feet. This would involve soaking the foot in hot water, massaging it, and then using ten-foot long reams of tape to curl the girl's second, third, fourth and fifth toes backwards and under their foot with the tape wrapped tightly around the heel. Screams and tears by the child were inevitable, especially that first day.
Foot binding did leave the big toe remained unbound, so the girl could still walk—albeit awkwardly. Eventually, the girl would learn to bind her foot herself. The binding would continue into the teenage years, gradually pulling the toes and heel closer together, creating a severely bowed foot. The goal was to create what was termed the golden three-inch "Lotus Foot"
Sadly, this would leave the woman severely crippled. The woman would have to take great care of her foot, making certain to keep the nails trimmed and washing the foot daily, as it was prone to infection, gangrene and amputation.
A Culture of Foot Fetishism
While foot binding was in vogue, about a billion females endured the process. It was necessary to help ensure the woman marriage, and it came with the promise of potentially "marrying up" in social status. Men didn't ask matchmakers about a woman's facial appearance but about the size of her feet. A large foot signaled laziness, something one would expect of servants. A small foot implied discipline, and had a sexual aspect.
Chinese men apprised the subtle variations in the Lotus Foot much like today's modern males might discuss distinctions in women's breasts. The most admired quality was plumpness, signifying voluptuousness.
The lotus foot became an integral part of lovemaking. Books on the subject, for both men and women, were common. Men used the fleshy folds under the foot's arch like a vagina, fondling it with their fingers, tongue and penis.
In addition, toe sucking and foot kissing was common—at times, men would boast about having put the entire foot in their mouth. Women used the lotus foot in foreplay and by putting their feet together could actually make a pseudo-vagina for the male, or for some, they were flexible enough to use this position to maneuver the male's member into their vagina without their hands. Foot binding was foot fetishism on a massive scale, and even today, world wide, out of all the sexual fetishes, the foot fetish most common.
Foot binding wasn't only a Chinese tradition. It occurred to lesser extents in Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and other Asian countries. Even non-Chinese Jews living in China took up the practice.
In 1895 a group women in Shanghai formed the anti-foot binding society. China banned foot binding in 1912, though for a while some families secretly continued to bind their daughters' feet, still believing in the practice's virtues.
Today, a less dramatic example of small feet signaling attractiveness comes from a study showing that eighty-eight percent of U.S. women, at some point, continue to squeeze their feet into shoes that are too small for them.
One interesting observation is the remarkable similarity between the foot bones in the lotus foot and the position of the foot bones when in a high heel. One has to wonder if someday society will think of high heels in the same way it regards foot binding.
