I am a longtime lurker on this board. I am thinking of leaving Dh and need a few opinions as to if this is even a problem. I've been living an alternative lifestyle for so long that I don't know if it is.
Dh and I are in an open relationship. I agreed to being in one after I found out that he was flirting and seeing another woman. At first I think I did it out of anger and to 'get back' at him, but I really started enjoying it after some time.
Two years ago (we have been married for 5, openly seeing others for 3), I decided that I wanted to have a baby. Dh didn't want to and would never have sex with me without a condom because he didn't want any "accidents". I had unprotected sex with my other partner at the time (we're all tested for STDS/AIDS etc) and I became pregnant. Now I have a two and a half year old daughter. Dh has came around to the fact that there is a child now, but he still brings up the fact that I let another man father my child and he is not close to DD.
For the last year he has been using it as leverage to ask me to be involved in threesomes with other women. Sometimes I enjoy the threesomes when the other woman is attractive, but lately he has been bringing home some real skanks. But he always uses protection unless its one of his 'regulars' (when that have been tested and are okay with swinging).
Also, he has asked me to sleep with a few of his friends and while I wasn't okay with it at first. He convinced me by hanging the fact that I have a baby by another man. So I have now slept with four of his friends and his cousin.
Me and his cousin really hit it off. Our sex was better than any I have ever had! He was gentle and passionate and I had multiple orgasams. It was amazing so we swapped numbers (without DH knowing) and have been sleeping together while dh is at work.
He tells me that he wants to be with me and that he will love my daughter like his own (dh is . He wants to start a family with me. He is very good with my daughter and I am getting older (25) and want the whole family with white picket fences now. I'm tired of being used as a sex object.
I told dh that I wanted to separate two days ago and he got mad. He was angry all night, but was very cheerful the next morning. He told me that he wanted me to sleep with one more person (a guy he works with supposedly) and then we could talk about separating. So I agreed. Wrong choice.
The man he bought over had sex with me very rough. He tied me down, used instruments on me, and tore my vagina so I was bleeding and had to get stitched. Dh wouldn't even drive me to the hospital. While I was at the ER he took DD somewhere and told me I could see her if I slept with him and another man once I healed. I said I would, even though I don't want to. He bought DD back when I said okay
He took my phone and my car (parked it somewhere, I don't know where). I want to call the police but he is a police officer and we live in a small town so I don't know if I will even be taken seriously.
What should I do? How do I get out of this? Did I bring this all on myself by agreeing to be in an open relationship and consenting to all of the sex? I haven't been raped so I feel like filing that charge would be a lie. I don't know if this qualifies as abuse either.

The last time a Louise Roche musical visited the Kimmel Center's Innovation Studio, it was the sequel to Girls Night: The Musical, titled Girl Talk: The Musical, and it was awful. This time, we get the original, and there are several ways in which it is better. There are also several ways in which it is just as bad.
First, everyone scheduled to appear showed up, and their names are all listed in the program. Last time, there was no program, and Charo, along with two other actors, bailed on opening night. So that's something. Second, each of these Girls Night girls knows how to belt an inspirational pop song or purr a standard, and has memorized all her lines. That's also an improvement.

Health Maintenance and Improvement
Mazda is promoting Company-wide health improvement activities to maintain and enhance the health of Company employees emphasizing on reduction of health risks by conducting health checkups, and recognizing as priority issues on mental health measures, lifestyle improvements, aging countermeasures and health maintenance support overseas. Similar activities are promoted and supported at domestic Group companies.
Health Checkups*
In addition to legally prescribed health checkups for all employees, Mazda carries out comprehensive medical checkups covering a variety of areas for employees when they reach the ages of, 25, 30, and 35, and when they pass the age of 40. Furthermore, the Company conducts complete physical checkups*1, including gastroscopy and abdominal ultrasonography, for employees when they reach the ages of 50, 54, and 58. Based on the results of these health checkups, Company doctors determine if employees can continue to work or not. Mazda also promotes employees' health by offering personal guidance and health education by Company doctors and occupational health nurses.

(including specific health guidance)
*1 Offerings checkups of the brain, the lungs, etc. as paid options.
*2 Checkup eligibility expanded to cover employees who reach the age of 25, since FY March 2015
Mental Health Measures*
In 2003, Mazda declared its commitment to active cooperation between labor and management to promote employees' mental health in the Warm Heart Declaration, and formulated the Mazda Warm Heart Plan. In 2007, labor and management, including managements, respective divisions, Company doctors and occupational health nurses, and the Mazda Worker's Union, cooperated to establish the Mental Health Project and construct a Company-wide support system.
Specifically, Mazda has strengthened training by level and division, as well as the consultations by Company doctors and health advisors.
Mazda has introduced occupational stress diagnoses known as "vitality checkups" for all employees to reveal individual and organization-level risks. The results of diagnoses are fed back not only to the individuals, while the result for organization is fed back to their divisions. Based on the results of these diagnoses, each division takes initiatives in promoting workplace improvements to prevent mental health problems.
For employees dispatched to other companies in Japan and overseas, Mazda offers stress diagnoses, on-site healthcare consultations, and consultations via video-conference system to support their health maintenance.
The Company is also making efforts to support employees who have taken time off from work not to be absence again by improving measures to support them in getting back to work. The measures are such as the reduce work hour system, a system of allowing them to return to workplaces on a trial basis, and follow-up consultations after their reinstatement.
<Examples of training and education>
- ■ Listening skills training and advanced training targeting managers
- ■ Self-care seminar targeting third-year employees
- ■ Mental health training on demand of the workplace
- ■ Mazda distributes copies of "Genki Tsushin," a healthcare bulletin that provides employees with useful hints on self-care to help them live a healthy and lively life and imparts methods to strengthen resilience (Published five-time a year)

The above figures show the comprehensive risk value of Mazda Motor Corporation calculated when the national average value (announced by the MHLW) is assumed to be 100. (A smaller value indicates a smaller risk.)
Measures to Prevent Lifestyle-Related Diseases*
Non-Smoking Measures
Mazda has set a long-term target of reducing the percentage of smokers in the Company to 25%. To achieve this target, Mazda offers full individual support and promotes a nonsmoker-friendly environment. Since 2003, Mazda has had a Company-wide smoke-free day, which has been implemented once a month since FY March 2011. In addition, the provision of outside smoking areas is promoted to prevent passive smoking.
Lifestyle Improvements and Preventing Metabolic Syndrome
In April 2008, specific medical checkups and healthcare guidance became mandatory, and the Company has launched programs offering specific medical guidance (for both individuals and groups) by occupational health nurses and trainers. In FY March 2015, individual guidance was provided to 581 employees. In addition, a seminar on how to prevent and alleviate lifestyle-related diseases was held for employees under 40 years old (with 130 participants in FY March 2015).
Walking to Improve Health
To support the improvement of health through walking, Mazda promotes walking, with the goal of getting 50% or more of employees to achieve 10,000 steps a day. Specific measures include: the "10,000-step Challenge" (with the goal of walking 10,000 steps a day), which is held for indirect employees; providing tools on the Company Intranet that help employees record the distances they walk; establishment of an in-house walking course; and the "Light Muscle Training While Walking" event, which combines walking and light muscle exercise. Furthermore, the Company promotes walking through the Eco-Walk Commuting Program (with allowance payments).
<Light Muscle Training While Walking>
As part the Health and Hygiene Month activities conducted in October every year, Mazda holds a walking event during lunchtime using the in-house walking course. In FY March 2015, the event was entitled "Light Muscle Training While Walking." By adding exercises, such as high knees, side twists, tiptoeing to walking, this event was intended to build up participants' muscle strength and increase expenditure of calories (Around 200 employees participated in FY March 2015 event).
Encouraging Healthy Eating
Starting in FY March 2010, a new type of healthy meal that is low calorie, low salt, and uses high-fiber ingredients, is being offered as a regular part of the Company lunch menu. It is also applied to dietary instruction of specific health guidance.

Health Risk Measures*
Preventing Health Problems and Accidents Due to Overwork
In April 2003, Mazda initiated a system where Company doctors and occupational health nurses conduct interviews with employees who work more than a certain amount of overtime and offer guidance to prevent potential sickness resulting from overwork.
In July 2007, Mazda started a No-Overtime Week system in which these employees are prohibited from working overtime and from working on holidays. The Company has also introduced a health status check tool called the SEE Check*3, which comprises health checks of members by supervisors.
Prevention of Falling Accidents and Measures to Help Aging Employees
Mazda has independently developed and introduced performance safety tests and fun exercises to prevent falling accidents and protect aging employees in production divisions. In comparisons between pre-introduction and post-introduction periods among employees 50 years of age or older, balance and alertness have improved. In divisions not directly connected to production, "Zoom-Zoom Stretching Exercises" for the maintenance and enhancement of sense of balance and leg strength is being implemented at each workplace so as to help employees develop healthy bodies and prevent falling accidents.
As the measures for aging of society, these initiatives are gaining attention in the occupational health field: information on the initiatives has been provided to the Japan Safety & Health Association, and research results have been presented at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in the United States.
System for Health Maintenance Support Overseas
For employees on overseas assignment, Mazda carries out health checkups before they leave Japan and provides healthcare instructions after they return to Japan. While employees are working overseas, Mazda offers consultations via e-mail, telephone and the Internet to support their health maintenance, from the time they leave Japan to the time of their return. Moreover, every time a new overseas project is launched, the Company makes efforts to reduce the anxiety of assigned employees, by obtaining information on the healthcare situation of the relevant country and diseases endemic to the region, and showing specific measures to be taken when a health problem arises there.
In recent years, for employees assigned to work in an emerging country, Mazda has offered on-site healthcare consultations limited to the setup period of a production site. Company medical staff members are dispatched to the local site, where they are involved in early detection of, and responding to health problems through face-to-face communication.
* Initiatives at Mazda Motor Corporation

Jewell: We Never Recovered From First Leicester Goal
Monday, 9th Apr 2012 18:05
Town manager Paul Jewell felt his side never recovered from conceding Ben Marshall's freekick moments before half-time during their 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City. Jason Scotland had put the Blues in front four minutes before Marshall's injury time goal with David Nugent netting the winner for the Foxes in the second half.
Jewell said: "In the first half we played well, we were in the ascendancy and were the far superior team – lots of crosses, lots of shots.
"Then to go in at half-time after the manner that they equalised was a right kick in the teeth and in the second half we didn't seem to recover from it. We were laboured, we got stretched and we went out with a whimper really."
The Blues boss wasn't quite sure how Marshall's freekick made it beyond the wall but thought keeper Arran Lee-Barrett ought to have saved it however it did so: "It took a deflection, I'm not sure whether it went through the wall or by the side of it.
"If it went through the wall, it's disappointing and if it did so the keeper should save it, it's a long way out.
"It was a cheap freekick we gave away. As I say, that kicked us right in the teeth. It was almost the last kick of the first half.
"It's the worst time to concede a goal. It gave them a lift because I thought we were decent in the first half. Second half they came out, made a couple of changes and picked up the tempo."
Jewell admitted that it wasn't the first time his team had faded after the break in recent matches: "In the first half against Watford and against Derby were excellent and today was excellent.
"But in all those second halves we haven't performed, but you're never going to be on top of a game for 90 minutes."
The Liverpudlian made four changes to his starting line-up which he says was to give a few players rest with games having come thick and fast recently: "We've kept the same team for quite a while. I know they kept their same team from Saturday, but I thought the lads needed a bit of a breather, one or two have been a bit jaded of late. So I made a few changes, it didn't work but after 45 minutes we were looking good."
Jewell was pleased with debutant Ryan Stevenson: "He was absolutely knackered, that's the only reason we brought him off.
"I thought he showed great tenacity and great endeavour but that's his first game since December and he had to come off as he was in danger of pulling something."
The Blues boss says Leicester are a decent side who he expects to reach the Premier League before too long: "They're a good team. If they don't go up this season, I feel they're certainties to go up next year with the squad they've got - not just the team, the squad. They'll think they've got a chance of getting there this season."
Jewell is well aware of David Nugent's record against the Blues: "You always fear when the crowd boo him because players like that thrive on it. He was always going to score."
Foxes boss Nigel Pearson was pleased with his team's display which leaves them three points from the play-offs: "We're still hanging in there. It was a great result for us. We certainly played a lot better than we did on Saturday."
Pearson made two changes at the break as he thought his side seemed jaded in the first half: "I just felt that we didn't really look to have the energy levels that we needed, so it was a case of making a couple of changes to inject some fresh legs into the team.
"I thought Paul Gallagher had an immediate effect in terms of what he brings to the team quality-wise.
"I thought it was a good second half for us and I never felt we were in any danger. I thought we could have won it more convincingly."
Sub Andy King was booked for a dive, a decision his manager thought referee Tony Bates got wrong: "Not particularly happy about the booking of King but you've got deal with decisions like that during a game.
"The player couldn't understand what the referee was talking about. We felt that there were a number of incidents which were a bit odd, but that's life. We didn't let it affect us."
Pearson said he wasn't aware of Nugent's record at Portman Road and against Town: "I never look at stuff like that."

There's a lot of talk these days in business and professional circles about "social responsibility" and the need to "pay it forward." For the attorneys and staff of Dean Mead, public service and pro bono are more than words; they're an integral part of the business plan. Here, every member of the firm subscribes to the philosophy that service to the community is an essential part of service to the client.
Since its formation 35 years ago, Dean Mead established public service as a core value and priority. The firm's attorneys and staff are encouraged to become part of the fabric of their local communities, to invest both time and money in service of others.
"At Dean Mead, we believe it is incumbent upon us, as community leaders and partners, to give back to those in need," says Marc Chapman, the firm's President. "As John F. Kennedy said: 'To whom much is given, much is expected.' In our commitment to service, we try our best to embody this concept."
As a result, Dean Mead attorneys and staff have contributed to well over 125 different philanthropic, civic and pro bono organizations in the past year, throughout Florida. We participate in numerous foundations and committees serving universities and other educational institutions, the legal community, healthcare and disease prevention/treatment, agricultural and environmental, food banks, and community associations.
Three areas, in particular, are near and dear to our hearts: Education, Children's Issues, and the Cultural Arts.
As attorneys, we recognize the value of education, not only in achieving personal success, but also in creating a thriving and prosperous community. As such, we invest heavily in supporting educational initiatives, from elementary education through to the college and university level, and in the community.
Dean Mead was a founding member of the President's Challenge to SOAR/Take Stock in Children scholarship administered by Indian River State College. The scholarship program is celebrating its 20th year with a special recognition program on May 9th. Along with awarding 44 middle and high school students from area schools in the Treasure Coast, the program will also acknowledge the accomplishments of some of the graduates. Since its creation, it has awarded over 900 scholarships within the four (4) county area of Okeechobee, Indian River, Martin and St. Lucie. The graduation rate of these scholarship recipients, at almost 95%, is three times that of similarly situated "at risk" students.
Last year, Dean Mead's Viera office commemorated their 25th anniversary of serving the Space Coast, with a gift to the Florida Institute of Technology. As part of the festivities, attorneys Mason Blake, Claudia Haines Jones, Rob Naberhaus and Laura Young announced that the firm established The Dean Mead Scholarship at Florida Tech for $100,000 to benefit S.T.E.M. students from Central Florida.
Dean Mead has supported the Florida Institute of Technology nearly 20 years, and is honored to carry on the tradition. Many of the firm's Viera attorneys have deep roots in the Space Coast and are passionate about giving back to our community and helping the next generation succeed. This donation will bring additional opportunities to STEM students, and Dean Mead hopes to continue to support the institute and its mission for many years to come.
"The success of our firm, much like the success of Florida Tech, was built on the foundation to create a better community and afford opportunities to the next generation," says Claudia Haines Jones, Managing Partner, Dean Mead's Viera office.
Another example of our commitment to education is through the firm's financial support of a plan proposed by Dr. Deborah German, Dean of University of Central Florida's College of Medicine, eight years ago, to provide full scholarships for all 41 students in its inaugural class. Shareholder, Michael Minton, served as co-chair of the UCF Charter Class Scholarship Committee. He led the firm's initiative to contribute the first scholarship, for charter class member Virgil Secansanu, an electrical engineering student from Georgia Tech, who was accepted to practice internal medicine at his top-ranked match school – the University of Colorado, one of the nation's top facilities in that specialty field. It's imperative that, like Virgil, our med school grads obtain the best post-graduate medical training possible – whether here in Central Florida or elsewhere.
Minton explains: "It is the hope of the firm's lawyers that by establishing this and other gifts and scholarships, the firm will lead the way for others to follow suit. Public and private partners working together is the surest path to developing a strong and sustainable region designed to attract the best and the brightest."
The firm also contributed the first endowed scholarship at UCF's Medical School, which is named for Robert W. Mead Jr., a founding member of the firm and a long-standing legal advisor to Central Florida's medical community. For the past 40+ years, Mead has had a remarkable impact on the community through his work representing physicians and medical institutions throughout Florida. In fact, he has been recognized every year since 1983 as Outstanding Corporate and Employee Benefits counsel by Best Lawyers in America for his work in this capacity. He also serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of the Florida Heart Institute.
Throughout his extensive career, Mead has represented thousands of physicians and medical groups, and participated in numerous boards, foundations and associations serving the medical community.
"It has been my pleasure and honor to contribute to the growth of Florida's healthcare system through representation of some of the state's leading medical practices," says Mead. "Year after year, I have an even greater appreciation for the impact world-class medical care can have on a community, not only because of the improved quality of life our clients are able to provide for those who live here, but because leading health care systems attract top notch physicians, as well as other medical professionals and researchers from all over right here to our door."
In addition to the firm's commitment to the University of Central Florida's long-term vision for the College of Medicine, Dean Mead also invests extensively in the University of Florida. Many of the firm's attorneys are graduates of the Fredric G. Levin College of Law in Gainesville, Florida, and continue to contribute significantly to the University of Florida Foundation and Law School. For more than three decades, Dean Mead has both established and funded scholarships through the University, supporting legal education, ethics and faculty enrichment. The firm also has supported SHARE, the Florida 4-H Foundation and the University of Florida College of Agriculture.
Michael Minton is the Past Chair of the University of Florida College of Law Center of Association's Chair of the Board of Trustees. Additionally, Lauren Detzel, shareholder and chair of Dean Mead's statewide Estate & Succession Planning department, has been an adjunct professor at the law school since 1989. She also volunteers her time as a member of the Board of Trustees, and she led a multi-year effort as the creator and founding board member of the UF Tax Institute. In just two years, the program raised $75,000 benefitting UF Law students in the Graduate Tax Program by way of scholarships and to meet student needs.
The firm's support for future lawyers and new lawyers continues beyond law school. Most Dean Mead lawyers actively participate in local bar associations, as well as The Florida Bar. They're active not only as members, but also as leaders.
"It is important to the firm's partners that we play a leadership role in the legal community," says business litigation attorney, Darryl Bloodworth, who served for many years in the Orange County Bar Association (OCBA) Legal Aid Society, as the President of The Florida Bar Foundation and in numerous capacities in other Bar Associations, including the American Bar Association and the Orange County Bar. "Not only is our role as leaders in the legal community about upholding the standards of the Bar, it also is about educating the public so people in the community feel comfortable availing themselves of the services good lawyers provide."
David Akins, attorney in the firm's Estate & Succession Planning department, was appointed chairman of the Estate and Trust Tax Planning Committee of the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law (RPPTL) Section of The Florida Bar. He has been active in RPPTL for more than 11 years having served in numerous leadership roles. Additionally, he was elected a Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC). He is one of 140 lawyers in Florida and 2,700 lawyers across the globe to have earned this distinguished honor.
Orlando litigation attorney, Felipe Guerrero, understands the significance of leadership within the legal profession. In 2012, he served as the President of the Hispanic Bar Association of Central Florida (HBACF). In his role as president, Guerrero worked with other members to educate the Hispanic community about a broad range of legal topics with the goal of empowering them to assert their legal rights. One example was the HBACF's "Know Your Rights Campaign", where the organization offered public seminars – conducted in Spanish and English – to educate the community about relevant legal topics and provide general information.
Always one to seek new professional development opportunities and building on the leadership skills he acquired through his involvement in the HBACF, Guerrero graduated from the inaugural class of The Florida Bar Leadership Academy in 2014. Says Guerrero, "One of the goals of the academy is to connect leaders in the legal community and teach us how to take our skills to the next level so we can have an even greater impact on a statewide basis."
Currently he serves on the Executive Council for the Orange County Bar Association. The Executive Council helps guide OCBA's business and events, and also works to integrate and assist the voluntary bar associations. Guerrero serves as a liaison between the OCBA's Real Property Committee and the Executive Council.
Laura Minton Young, a real estate attorney in Dean Mead's Brevard County office, has worked with the Viera Academy since its inception, and currently serves on the Community Directors Board of the program. Not only does she facilitate shadowing and internship opportunities for the students with the firm, she also regularly visits the high school to teach the students necessary skills through activities like mock interviews. "It is so rewarding to see how the children grow, how much more confident they become, as they work their way through the program. It's also a great way for the firm and myself to connect with the community."
Young is also a member of the Business Hall of Fame Committee for Junior Achievement of the Space Coast (JASC) and sits on their Board of Directors alongside Robert Naberhaus III. They, together with fellow Viera/Melbourne attorneys, Brian Stephens and Michelle Naberhaus, taught the Junior Achievement "Our Region" lesson to 4th graders at Suntree Elementary in October this year. "The JASC mission is important to me because I care about my community and I believe the future of our community depends upon the strength of our youth," says Naberhaus who is now in his fifth year of serving on the JASC Board.
Tampa based litigation attorney, Melanie Griffin, hosted a luncheon for more than 50 community leaders to educate them about Frameworks and the positive impact the organization is making. She serves as the Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Community Outreach and Development Committee of Frameworks of Tampa Bay. Since joining the Board in July, 2014, she has raised over $10,000 to support the organization's mission of teaching local youth social and emotional learning (SEL) skills to create an increased likelihood for academic, personal, and professional success. SEL contributes to the emotional well-being of children, especially those already at a disadvantage due to living in areas where violence and crime occur at a high frequency. Frameworks gives students the skills they need to reduce classroom disruptions, violence, and other risky behaviors, including low self-esteem, physical violence, substance abuse, bullying, eating disorders, and more.
Frameworks' mission became evermore critical this year, as the Hillsborough County School Board recognized the significant value of SEL and implemented Frameworks' curriculum in every 6th grade in the county. Next year, the curriculum will be in every 6th and 7th grade, and by 2017, Frameworks' curriculum will be taught in every middle school grade in each middle school in Hillsborough County, allowing Frameworks to make a positive impact in the lives of more than 45,000 children annually. While the benefit of Frameworks' work is presently most directly felt in Hillsborough County, the hope is that the implementation of Frameworks' curriculum in Hillsborough will lead to the implementation of SEL curriculums in additional counties throughout the state.
Orlando estate and succession planning attorney, Brian Malec, sits on the Advisory Board for The First Tee of Central Florida. This organization impacts the lives of local youth by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values, and promote healthy choices through the game of golf. As a member of the Advisory Board, which supports the full Board of Directors, Malec's focus is toward organizing fundraising events that the organization puts on each year.
Environmental and land use attorney, Anna Long, spends her free time volunteering with Odyssey of the Mind – an international educational program that provides creative problem-solving opportunities for students from kindergarten through college. Team members apply their creativity to solve problems that range from building mechanical devices to presenting their own interpretation of literary classics. They then bring their solutions to competition on the local, state, and world levels. Thousands of teams from throughout the U.S. and from about 25 other countries participate in the program.
Long got involved as a coach when her daughter was in the second grade in 2004. She served as an Assistant Regional Director for several years and took over as the Regional Director in 2009. "It's important to me to be a role model for my own children, but being there for many other kids is truly fulfilling," says Long.
For almost 30 years, Pete Dunbar, managing shareholder of the firm's Tallahassee office, has been actively involved in the Special Olympics, most recently as a golf coach. The couple's youngest child, daughter Sarah, and her husband of three years, both have been named "Special Olympics Athletes of the Year." The whole family was honored to be named "Special Olympics Family of the Year" for Tallahassee.
"I can truly say, our involvement as a family in the Special Olympics has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life," says Dunbar. "Many people think philanthropy and community involvement is about what you give, but spending time coaching these athletes has enriched my life in too many ways to name."
Brad Gould, tax and business succession planning attorney in our Fort Pierce office, is the founder and former Chairman of the Parent Academy of St. Lucie County. The not-for-profit organization was created to strengthen the families of St. Lucie County by giving parents and caregivers access to resources, information, and support they might not otherwise know about. Gould also serves on the board of Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties. This year Dean Mead was a sponsor for the organization's Taste of St. Lucie event which raised donations that enable them to better serve the community.
Children's Services Council of St Lucie County is a wonderful partner and funder of Big Brothers Big Sisters.
This year Dennis Corrick, Fort Pierce/Port St. Lucie real estate attorney, received the Kathryn Basile Champion for Children Award as recognition for his leadership of the campaign to reauthorize the Children's Services Council in 2014. Corrick previously served on the Children's Services Council of St. Lucie County whose mission, is to improve the quality of life for all children in St. Lucie County. They do this by ensuring that every baby is a healthy baby, by stopping child abuse before it starts, keeping kids off the streets and away from drugs and alcohol, and keeping kids in school with the tools they need to be successful.
Greg Lawrence, Chair of the firm's Financial Institutions Industry Team and a member of the Real Estate department is Dean Mead's attorney champion for the Summer of Dreams program. Summer of Dreams is a free, 10-week program that provides homeless students with meals, academic enrichment, mentoring and school supplies as well as financial counseling for parents and students in Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties during the summer break.
According to school officials in the tri-county region, an estimated 11,000 children are considered homeless. They move frequently – living in shelters, motels and cars … even on the streets. Summer brings added instability to their lives. During these months, most have nowhere to go, nothing constructive to do and no access to resources like free/reduced lunch that help them while school is in session.
The Summer of Dreams program was founded to help those children who would otherwise "fall through the cracks." The program's goal this year is to raise enough funds to serve 2,000 children next summer. Dean Mead is proud to be a supporter alongside, the program's founding sponsor, Fifth Third Bank.
In addition to supporting high-quality education and healthcare, the attorneys of Dean Mead are proud to support the growth of arts and culture in communities throughout the state.
In addition to its support of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Orlando, the firm has been a long-time supporter of the Orlando Ballet, Central Florida's only fully residential professional ballet company. The 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, founded in 1974, employs a full-time professional company of 25 nationally and internationally recognized dancers. The organization also operates a renowned school; one of only 4 academies accredited by the American Ballet Theatre and named 2014 "Outstanding School" at the prestigious Youth American Grand Prix.
Matt Ahearn, estate and succession planning attorney in the firm's Orlando office, has been involved with the Orlando Ballet for many years. He currently serves as the Treasurer/Finance Committee Chair and a member of the Board of Directors. "Arts education is very important for our children, having been shown to enhance higher-order thinking skills, such as analytical, problem solving and social skills. The arts also strengthen our economy, help our local businesses and drive tourism to Central Florida." says Ahearn.
Michelle Naberhaus, probate, trust and guardianship litigator in the firm's Viera/Melbourne office, serves on the Board of Directors for Brevard Cultural Alliance (BCA). This year, Dean Mead began supporting the Brevard art community through BCA's "Art in Public Places" – a community-based program managed by BCA that provides opportunities for local businesses, government buildings and other diverse locations to host professional art exhibitions. BCA installs a new exhibit every four months, providing a creative, stimulating environment for staff and visitors who have the opportunity to purchase the art.
"The arts, whether performance or visual, enrich all of our lives," says Naberhaus who also serves on the Board of Directors for the Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts in Melbourne.
As a statewide firm, Dean Mead's support of the arts is not limited just to the Orlando area, though. In Fort Pierce, for several years, attorneys from the firm's Treasure Coast office have been instrumental in helping to raise funds for the restoration and reopening of the 1920s-era Sunrise Theatre, a focal point for economic development and entertainment in downtown Fort Pierce. The firm pledged $75,000 to this initiative and was able to reach this goal with a generous $25,000 contribution from Michael and Misty Minton.
Says Dean Mead shareholder, Joel Zwemer: "We were so pleased to join in with the rest of the Fort Pierce community to preserve this historical landmark and local treasure. Today, because we came together as a community, the Sunrise Theatre once again serves as a focal point for economic development and entertainment in downtown Fort Pierce."
Throughout the year, Dean Mead and its employees give to local charities – whether monetary contributions, in kind or simply by volunteering their time.
Dean Mead's Orlando office participates in "Casual for a Cause Day", where employees are offered the opportunity to wear casual attire for the day with a contribution to the designated charity. This raises awareness and funds for a different charity or non-profit organization each "day".
Since its inception, more than $42,000 has been raised to benefit charities. This year's "Causes" included: American Heart Association, Mustard Seed of Central Florida, Victim Service Center of Central Florida, Harbor House, Christian Service Center, Autism Speaks, Susan G. Komen of Central Florida, The Angel Tree Project and school supplies for Central Florida Association of Women Lawyers (CFAWL) and Hispanic Bar Association (HSA).
Dean Mead collaborated with Central Florida Association of Women Lawyers (CFAWL), again this year to purchase school supplies for the students of Rock Lake Elementary School, one of Central Florida's most economically disadvantaged Title I schools where at least 95% of the student body lives at or below the federal poverty line. All money raised will go directly towards school supplies for the students of Rock Lake, who otherwise would not receive the tools necessary for a year of successful learning.
Dean Mead also participated in a school supply drive with Hispanic Bar Association (HSA), that benefited the same school as last year, New Beginnings (formerly known as Crossroads and Cornerstone). New Beginnings is the only public alternative school for the Osceola School District. The school serves Kindergarten thru 12th grade students, who are regular and ESE (exceptional education). All students are recommended for placement through the district Student Services department for the ESE department and may be placed for a minimum of 1 successful semester to a maximum of 2 years.
Although many of our attorneys and staff volunteer many hours in the community throughout the year, there is something special about holiday giving that brings good cheer.
Each holiday season, the attorneys and staff of Dean Mead work together to make financial contributions to food banks within our communities including Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Daily Bread, Sharing Center of Central Brevard, Bread of the Mighty Food Bank and Big Heart Brigade of the Treasure Coast.
The firm also participates in the Angel Tree Project whose ultimate goal is to get new toys and clothing into the hands of needy children during the holiday season. Spearheaded by Melanie Griffin, Orlando attorneys and staff purchase holiday gifts and necessities for approximately 20 children at Rock Lake Elementary School and the Devereux Project (a program for children with emotional, developmental, educational, and cognitive disabilities).
"Seeing the joy on the children's faces when they receive their gifts each year and knowing that they would not otherwise be remembered during the holiday season motivates me to ensure that each child knows that he/she is loved, appreciated and valued, not only at this time of year, but all year long," says Griffin.
Our Fort Pierce attorneys and staff for years have collected gifts, wrapping paper, bows, and cards along with some baked goodies that enable mothers at the Counseling and Recovery Center to give their children a memorable holiday.
As a leading law firm with offices and connections throughout the state of Florida, our job is to tackle big issues, develop solutions and, ultimately, ease the burden for people who trust us with their closest thoughts and concerns. Community collaboration and service is one way we do that.
"The real benefit of community service and giving though," says Chapman, "is that it makes us better people. It binds us to our neighbors and our communities in a way work alone cannot."

For the first time ever, I have way more content to fill Gin and Topics than I have space.
This is a good problem to have, right? It also means I have to prioritize what you see today and what is saved for next week, based solely on my opinion.
I hope I chose correctly!
Let's see. I have a cardboard arcade, creating drama out of nothing, the world's biggest dog, a cat opening a freezer and eating out of it, Anderson Cooper can't say "pussy willow," texts from my dog, and texting guy nearly runs into a bear.
See a trend? I guess I like animal videos!
OK. I have narrowed it down. The ones mentioned above not included here will be featured next week. Now you have something to look forward to!
5. Caine's Arcade. Have you seen this? Tracy Panko sent it to me earlier this week and then I saw it on The Today Show this morning. A nine-year-old boy built an elaborate cardboard arcade in his dad's used auto parts store. I can't explain it in words. You have to see what he does to feed tickets when you win a game and what types of experiences he gives you. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
4. A Dramatic Surprise On a Quiet Square. I was minding my own business earlier this week when Justin Brackett sent this to me. It's a square in a town in Belgium where nothing typically happens. It's a commercial, but it's well worth the watch…for the surprise drama.
3. Anderson Cooper Laughs at Mention of Pussy Willow. Molli Megasko sent this to me a couple of days and all it said was, "You're welcome." I plagiarize her and say the same: You're welcome.
2. Texting Guy Almost Runs Into Bear. A few people sent this to me (it's that good), but I'll give Christina Pappas credit because she was first. If this doesn't make you laugh out loud, you have no sense of humor.
1. Texts from My Dog. Rusty Speidel and I had a great time over email with this one. There are some profanities so if you're sensitive to that, don't click. But they're pretty funny. Things your dog would say if he/she could text.

Love Texts from my Dog. Made my whole day. Of course, now I'm running home to make sure all the shoes are in the closet.
@rideboulderco LOL!! And check your phone to be sure no one is using your data plan.
Anderson Cooper is 8 years old. I love it! That's a pretty good prank by his staff, cuz there's no way he put that "ridicu-list" together himself to get that reaction.
@Anthony_Rodriguez Wasn't that funny??! I was laughing so hard. He clearly is an eight year old boy. LOL!!
@Anthony_Rodriguez He totally lost it during another Ridiculist – I'm trying to remember which one it was.
@Anthony_Rodriguez Found it!
There is some great hiking not to far away from where they found that bear. Got to love the texter, do you think he got inside and did one of those double takes. "Did I just see a bear? Nah…"
Love that TNT commercial, but Caine still gets the final nod. Love that kid.
@TheJackB Mr. D said if that happened to him, he'd come home and tell me he almost ran into a bear and I wouldn't believe him until I saw it on YouTube.
@ginidietrich Sounds about right. @TheJackB
Oh I loved this one, definitely got me to LOL. Best part is that you embedded the videos so I didn't need to click elsewhere. Gini you once again rock my world!
@jennimacdonald I always do that, you goof!
@ginidietrich Dork!
@jennimacdonald I hear when you wear your sunglasses at work, they call you Mini Gini.
@ginidietrich Yeah, yeah that was Monson. But I said these aren't designer sunglasses they're just prescription to keep my migraines away. Do you wear your indoors too?
@jennimacdonald No, I don't. I only wear them for some of the videos…and everyone makes fun of me.
@ginidietrich That's cause they're jealous that they aren't one of the cool kids like us!
Coopers face at 1:38 is priceless.
@CARNIVALTWEETS Wasn't that great?
Ok Ginni. Great post for a weekend read! LOL…Caine's Arcade is pure awesomeness!
@StorchMurphy There is almost nothing more funny than serious Anderson Cooper laughing at pussy willow.
They troll Anderson so hard on that show! Take Pussy WIllow out of context? You know Anderson Cooper is going to piss himself.
@etelligence Wasn't that funny? I laughed so hard and kept rewinding it to watch him laugh over and over again.
Follow up to the KTLA story guy said he was reading spin sucks on his phone and disagreeing with kmueller62 regarding Facebook.
@HowieSPM that was YOU????
@KenMueller @HowieSPM LOL

Bishop Joseph Galante rises from his chair with difficulty, but the strength in his handshake - and in his gaze - conveys a vitality undiminished by age or illness.
A third-generation diabetic who is suffering from kidney failure, Galante, 74, must undergo four hours of dialysis three times a week in Cherry Hill.
We meet on one of the two days a week he is able to work in his downtown Camden office. It's atop a former bank headquarters and offers a dramatic view of the skyline of Philadelphia, the city where the seventh bishop of the Diocese of Camden was born in 1938.

You lose some and you win some.
That's what I learned the Christmas I was 8 years old, although I couldn't have put it into words at the time. It was the Christmas when I admitted to my elders - and more importantly to myself - that I was no longer a true believer in Santa Claus. It was also a Christmas when I discovered compensations.
Age 8 was a little late to take leave of Santa, even in that simpler time when kids were not bombarded from the day after Halloween to Dec. 25 by sightings of Santa and other unsubtle reminders of the season. As a sneaky listener to adult conversations I had overheard clues. But even after I knew in my heart that it was Mama who put those gifts on the three chairs in front of the piano (with our names on the stockings in case Santa was confused about identities of the deserving children in this house), I kept any doubts to myself.
And if friends or enemies among the neighborhood children expressed their own doubts I tried to correct unbelief with force. Don't recall being bothered by any hypocrisy in my position vis-a-vis Santa Claus; and I'm sure my brother and sister, who knew me best, must have considered my efforts at thought control simply another example of a tendency to be bossy, a tendency that comes naturally to oldest children.
Knowing - and admitting - the truth may make you free. However, in the matter of Santa Claus it served only to rob the season of its magic - until I suddenly came into money. It came from a baby gift, a World War I bond that my grandparents had given me. Nannaw found the $25 bond (worth a bit less, since it hadn't matured.) I think I got about $20 when she cashed it.
It was the most cash I'd ever had, and I got to go shopping by myself on a sunny winter afternoon that must have been much like many of the beautiful days that promote seasonal cheer in our part of the world.
There were two variety stores in Hereford in the mid-'20s, and I did all my shopping there except for one purchase at the City Drug Store where I bought Mama a bottle of Coty's Paris perfume. I didn't have to settle for the smallest bottle in the line, either, since I could afford to pay $5 for the next largest size. I bought my brother either a cap pistol or a toy car. Whatever the choice, I know it must have been something I would have liked to receive. Donald and I had similar tastes in toys, which was one reason we fought so much. For my little sister I got a doll buggy, which must have been hard to move home from the store since I couldn't simply push it. Being almost 4 years younger than I was, Bobbie was not even remotely afflicted by Santa Claus doubts, and I didn't want her to see that baby buggy until Christmas morning.
I got something for everyone. It was a set of painted cork dish mats for my grandmother and boxes of handkerchiefs for my grandfather and a bachelor uncle. That was my initiation into Christmas shopping, an experience that I now realize was made richer by what Mama told me after I got up the nerve to tell her I "knew about Santa Claus."
She assured me there really was a Santa Claus, something called the spirit of giving. Seventy-six years ago that spirit got a mighty boost from proceeds of a World War I bond.

Written by series co-producer Norman Lear, "Meet the Bunkers" used the occasion of Archie and Edith Bunker's wedding anniversary to introduce the main characters and rapidly establish both the mood and tenor of all the episodes to come. Though virtually plotless, the episode is jam-packed with incident: Archie and Mike have a heated argument over "racial profiling," Edith tries to drag a recalcitrant Archie to church, Gloria and Mike are so hot for one another that they can barely wait until they get to the bedroom, and Lionel Jefferson (Mike Evans) uses broad African-American stereotypes to subtly needle the reactionary Archie. Especially worth noting in this inaugural episode is Jean Stapleton's portrayal of Edith, who comes off as a lot less stupid and a lot more sarcastic than she would in future episodes. While "Meet the Bunkers" seems somewhat tame when seen today, it packed enough of a wallop back in 1971 for CBS to issue a disclaimer at the beginning of the program, in which the network lauded All in the Family for its courage and daring and simultaneously begged the viewers' pardon for those qualities. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide All in the Family: Writing the President Incensed that Mike has written a stern and critical letter to President Nixon, super-patriotic Archie tries to set things right by penning his own missive to the Chief Executive. "Dear Mr. President...Your Honor...Sir..." -- and Archie even dons a clean shirt and tie for the occasion. Scripted by Paul Harrison, Lennie Weinrib, and Norman Lear from a story by Les Erwin and Fred Freiberger, "Writing the President" originally aired on January 19, 1971. Though withdrawn from CBS' daytime rerun package of All in the Family at the request of producer Lear (who felt that Archie's behavior was ridiculous even for him), the episode has since been restored to the series' syndicated package. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide All in the Family: Archie Gives Blood Archie balks at the notion of donating blood at the local Red Cross. When Mike accuses him of being chicken, Archie protests that he doesn't want to give up a precious pint of his own "pure" blood unless he can be certain that the recipient will not be a member of a minority group. Archie's ethnocentric monologues in this episode are so incredibly convoluted that one almost grudgingly admires his stubborn stupidity. Written by series coproducer Norman Lear, "Archie Gives Blood" first aired on February 2, 1971, replacing the originally scheduled episode "Judging Books by Covers." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide All in the Family: Gloria Is Pregnant When Gloria announces that she's pregnant, both Mike and Archie blanche in terror. Not only did Mike enter into matrimony with the understanding that there wouldn't be any children, but he just plain can't afford to be a father. As for Archie, he is dead set against Gloria bringing a "little Meathead" into the world. The ending of this episode is especially poignant, with Archie revealing a heretofore well-hidden tender and comp

Occassionally, when I plug the AC Adapter into my Qosmio f45 av411, I'll hear a faint clicking noise. Whenever this happens, the battery will not charge and soon after the battery is drained and my computer dies. I can sometimes correct the problem if I unplug the adapter from the computer, then plug it back in again.
After searching online for solutions, I tried to uninstall/reinstall Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery in Device Manager.
I don't know if this would be relevant but after I uninstalled it and attempted to restart the computer, it wouldn't go past the "shutting down" phase. Finally, after about 10 minutes, I had to shut it down by pressing the power button.
When I started it up again, the Found New Hardware wizard resulted in an error stating that "The driver cannot be installed because it is either not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner."
Then I went to Device Manager, found Unknown Device under Other Devices, and clicked on Reinstall Driver. This resulted in another error stating "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered a problem while attempting to install it. Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery The system cannot find the file specified."
Any advice/solutions would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Today fifty activists from thirteen cities around the world are bringing the movement to end street harassment to their communities.
"Hollaback! isn't just an app or a map — it's a movement," said Hollaback! Board Chair and co-founder, Samuel Carter. We are now in 37 cities and 15 countries, with leaders speaking more than eight different languages.
"The growth of the movement demonstrates the pervasive nature of street harassment globally," said Hollaback! International Movement Coordinator, Veronica Pinto. "At the same time, the response of activists around the world is incredible as we see the determination of folks who are fighting for their safety, fighting for their streets, and fighting for the right to be who they are."
Local Hollaback! site leaders run their local blog and organize their communities through advocacy, community partnerships, and direct action. Site leaders are as diverse in their backgrounds as they are in their experiences of harassment. Hollaback! reports that 44% lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer, 26% identify as people of color, 76% are under the age of 30, and 90% are women.
"If I have my way, these won't just be the leaders of the movement to end street harassment. These will be the next leaders of the world," said Hollaback! Executive Director Emily May.
Although most of them are less than six months old, Hollaback! international sites are already having a big impact. In Bristol, UK, the team is working on an anti-street harassment task force with local officials. In Atlanta, the team did a community safety audit, and in Buenos Aires, Tegus, and Mexico City, the teams helped to coordinate their cities' first SlutWalks, which were designed to bring awareness to women's right to feel safe in public space.
We are currently recruiting activists for the next launch in November. If you'd like to bring Hollaback home, email us at holla AT ihollaback.org today.
Until then, please congratulate our new sites at ihollaback.org.

I was walking to the grocery store with my partner and this jerk kept leering at us muttering things under his breath. I hoped he would be gone by the time we walked back out but nope, he was there and started staring at us again.
I was walking down the street wearing short shorts and I got whistled at and a car pulled over and stared at me.
Before I even say anything about what I've experienced, I would just like to thank everyone at Hollaback! for providing me with a support system that no one else can offer. Your stories of countless bravery and people who have experienced the same things I have help me make it through the day.
I have recently experienced and remembered previous experiences of sexual harassment. Five, to be exact. Sorry in advance for the essay of a Holla!
1. This morning, I made the smart decision to wear a dress. It was either a dress or dirty laundry, so I chose a dress and wore bike shorts under them. As I walked up the stairs, getting off the subway, I turned and noticed that the old man behind me had his head eye level with my ass, and his neck craned unnaturally far forward. I instantly pulled my closed and gathered it in front of me. The man groaned, and I told my mom, too late, what had happened.
2. Yesterday, while getting off the subway (92nd St R station in Bay Ridge), I passed a man who I'd seen before in the neighborhood. Whenever people pass him, he mumbles nasty things, so I've known for a while that he is a threat. When I passed him on this particular day, he commented very clearly "Ooh, she's got some of them short shorts!" I was wearing a pair of high waisted shorts with a pair of semi-sheer striped tights underneath them. As a result of walking up stairs like a normal person, they rode up. I turned to my mom when we made it to the top (five feet away from him) and she said that we shouldn't interfere. For an hour, we argued about whether or not it was sexual harassment – and I definitely believe it was – and whether or not any cop would arrest him. Needless to say, it was an amazingly fun end to my day.
3. Earlier last week, I was walking with my friend to get lunch. While we were waiting for the light to change, a black SUV swerved closer to us. Slowing down and rolling down the windows, they screamed "Look, whore!" I heard the comment but didn't realize who it was directed at me, as we were in a well-known prostitution area. My friend turned to me, shocked, and told me that the comments were directed at me. I turned to see if they were still there, but when they weren't, my friend suggested I use Hollaback to get back at them. I'm no stranger to this site, despite being a 13 year old. Actually, I've been making lots of complaints in the past week. Guess the perverts mainly come out in the summer. Anyway, I didn't get a very good look at them, but I did notice that one (the main one screaming) had brown hair.
4. About two weeks ago, while on the R train with my mom, a man came and stood very close to me. His crotch was incredibly close to my face, and though reading a newspaper, he was leering at me. I stopped playing my game and decided to watch the man. This didn't stop him, but I honestly didn't expect it to. When I got off the train, the man glared at me. Even being with my mother doesn't stop perverts and pedophiles.
5. This happened about a year ago. At the time, I didn't think it had anything to do with gender, but now I realize that it was all about gender. My mom and I were running from one of my classes to another, and we decided to catch a cab on W 81st St. and West End Ave as I needed to be in Astor Place in 20 minutes. We were in a hurry, so my mom asked the driver in a very loud, clear voice NOT to take us through Central Park and instead drive down Broadway. The man agreed to do so, but, cursing as he drove past Broadway, decided to take us through Central Park anyway. My mom asked him why he did so and he replied that it would be faster. About 45 minutes later, we were out of the park, but not out of the traffic. My mom repeated several times that we would have been better off avoiding the park. The man continuously argued with her about this, saying she never told him not to go through the park. When we reached 14th St. 20 minutes after that, we were in a small park. My mom reached for both her wallet and the door and announced that we were getting out. The man refused this and locked the doors. My mom started screaming "If you don't let us out of here right now, I swear to god, I WILL KICK YOUR FUCKING WINDOWS IN!" The doors unlocked instantly and my mom threw a few dollars at the man. We left, and my mom smacked his window, flicked him off, and screamed "FUCK YOU!!!" A few people cheered, and we walked away. The driver got out of the car, irate, and the people instantly jumped up and surrounded him, saying "Get back in the car, man. Get back in the fucking car."
I was out to dinner with someone and shortly after we sat down, this man walked in alone, sat down, and stared a hard, perverted leer directly into my eyes the whole thirty minutes we were there. The evil glares I gave in return did nothing. When the waiter came by to see "how everything was going" I told him that guy wouldn't stop staring at me, and the waiter seemed irritated with me for caring/trying to drag him into it. Finally I decided to snap one for Hollaback and he took this to mean I was snapping his picture because I was so interested in him. So even though he was out of what are supposed to be the bounds of social acceptability, I was the one made to feel embarrassed and ashamed for wanting it to stop/having it happen to me in the first place.
I was walking to my summer camp this morning when I was harassed. First off, I would just like to state that I am a 13 year old girl. I don't dress provocatively, and the same goes for today. I was wearing a knee length dress with a baggy sweater over it. I was also talking on the phone with my mom, like I always do to feel safer when I walk around by myself. I was walking down the street, and during a lull in my conversation with my mom, I noticed two men (mid 30s, medium build, average height) standing near a truck. Their eyes seemed to glaze over as they looked at my butt and legs, and one commented, "Damn, I'd like to smoke that shit." I have no idea what it meant, but it didn't feel right. I felt violated, but I kept walking. I regret not saying and doing all the things that I've trained myself to do, like flipping them off or humiliating them. I have been harassed so many other times, but I've never had a man say that he's wanted to do sexual things to me. I wish I was able to walk around and not feel like I will be assaulted. Why are men such animals?
On Wednesday morning, June 29th during rush hour, I was standing on the platform at Elmhurst Avenue in Queens waiting for the train. The M train had just gone by so I was one of three people waiting for the R. I heard a person gasp behind me and I turned around to see a man standing too close to me. I moved away and didn't notice what he was doing until I realized he was inching towards to me again. I then quickly noticed was that his shirt was too long for his height and underneath it his hand was moving rapidly. I moved towards the center of the platform and thought that would be the end of him until I turned to my left and there he was again. More people were now on the platform and I walked back towards the front and stood near another woman my age. I figured that if he followed me again this woman would at least notice and validate that I wasn't imagining things! This is definitely not a common occurrence in my neighborhood. Luckily he didn't follow me but I remember a friend of mine mentioning a girl once took a picture of a man who had been rubbing up against her on the train and that he was arrested; I thought at the least I could email it to my local precinct. I got my camera ready and started to walk towards the center of the platform, where I had left him, and all-of-a-sudden I saw him sprint up the exit. I looked up the stairs to see if he was gone and he was, but when I turned back around this woman was looking at me with this terrified expression and I knew I had definitely not imagined the whole thing!

A man with a clipboard was blocking women on the sidewalk and demanding that they smile on the sidewalk near the w 4th st station. When I told him to stop harassing women, he started ranting at me. I went into CVS and while I was in there, he came in and tried to scam the cashier into refunding something he hadn't bought.
Senior Prevention Educator
Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault
In just the past two years, the level of awareness and support available for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer-identified youth experiencing bullying and harassment in schools has grown astronomically. There are almost no safeguards, however, for the kinds of harassment they encounter in public spaces on a daily basis. From cat calls to physical threats and hate crimes, public harassment is one of the most endemic forms of gender-based violence, and LGBTQ-identified youth are especially vulnerable by virtue of their perceived or actual gender, sexuality or sexual orientation.
In Tucson, Arizona, Safe Streets AZ has emerged to track and address public harassment, and provide a greater network of support for the LGBTQ community. A program of the Southern Arizona Center Against Sexual Assault (SACASA) funded by the Alliance Fund Queer Youth Initiative, Safe Streets AZ provides youth ages 13-23 the opportunity to share their story, get support, and become part of a growing movement to end public and street harassment. Inspired by organizations like Hollaback!, the program combines an interactive Google map and blog to track and share incidences of harassment. Community members can also use the map to locate "Safe Sites"– local businesses and organizations where youth experiencing harassment can go to temporarily feel safe and receive resources.
During conversations with local LGBTQ youth, almost all of the 30 youth that took part had experienced public harassment of some kind. Many said they worry daily about being harassed, and felt that the level of harassment they experience as the result of their perceived gender and sexual orientation is more intense. "You have to take it more seriously if you're gay," said one youth. "A lot of the time if someone says they're going to kill a faggot then they're probably serious, and you have to treat it that way."
Despite its prevalence, there is little data on the frequency and impact of public harassment, particularly at the local level. Safe Streets AZ aims to change that. By collecting stories and reports from partner organizations as well as community members, information will be collected and used to hold more perpetrators accountable, and create better systems of support for anyone experiencing harassment.

Getting to Know FRESKOS Modern Greek Food in Hamden
During my first job out of college, I frequented a diner for what became a weekly Greek salad lunch ritual. That may have been over ten years ago, but it inspired a life-long love affair with the dish. So when a friend suggested trying out newly opened FRESKOS in Hamden, I jumped at the chance to try their greek salad and was happily met with a heaping bowl filled with romaine lettuce and topped with chopped cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, stuffed grape leaves, and a big block of feta. Served with warm pita, and greek dressing, I have finally found my local antidote to that Greek salad craving.
FRESKOS is a modern Greek fast casual restaurant, that leans towards light and fresh Greek dishes such as souvlaki and gyro sandwiches which are served with warm pita, red onion, tomato, tzaziki, and dill. In addition to sandwiches, FRESKOS focuses on seasonal salads and soups, such as the avgolemono soup, a traditional Greek soup with a chicken broth base filled with lemon, egg and rice. A FRESKOS original is a Greek Pita Pizza, which struck me as an apt Greek interpretation to its pizza-loving location just a stone's throw from New Haven.

on June 20, 1999 - 12:01 AM
The man who scored the winning goal for the Dallas Stars' Stanley Cup-clinching victory over the Buffalo Sabres this morning was a physical wreck.
His left knee was disheveled. Both of his groin muscles were torn to shreds.
Yet winger Brett Hull, who missed Game Four and played sparingly in Game Five, managed to remain on the ice through three overtimes to finally end the marathon that was Game Six by putting the puck over a sprawled Dominik Hasek for a 2-1 Stars victory.
"He might be rehabbed enough to be ready for next season," Stars coach Ken Hitchcock said. "He has a grade three, full-blown (damaged medial collateral ligament in his left knee). He has a torn groin. And he came back and played.
"He played on one leg and no groins for his last three shifts. I don't know where this team would be if we would have had to play Game Seven."
Hull and his teammates were part of a wild scene on the ice for the presentation of the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe trophy for the playoffs' most valuable player, which was presented to veteran Dallas center Joe Nieuwendyk.
Hull has been one of the more prolific scorers in NHL history, but he never scored a more important goal as the one he had this morning.
He also never won a Stanley Cup until now.
"You can have all the other goals," Hull said. "This is the biggest to me.
"It's unbelievable . . . It's just so emotional. I've dreamt about it, but it's unbelievable. This team's gone through so much together, and there was a lot of pressure on a lot of guys. But we just really kept sticking to our guns."
The Stars never seemed to run out of gas, nor did the Sabres for that matter. But they found something extra in the extra periods.
"I didn't think the game was going to end, to be honest," said Stars captain Derian Hatcher, who was the first player to skate around the ice while holding the Cup over his head before it was passed around among his teammates. "You've got to give it to Buffalo and our guys who just kept going and going."
"I don't think we played that well in the first two periods, but we stuck to it," Hull said. "And (goaltender) Eddie Belfour and Joe Nieuwendyk and (center) Mike Modano played so well for us the whole playoffs. Without them, I don't think this would have been possible.
"I think all three of them could have gotten that Conn Smythe, but Joe's very deserving."
"This is such a magical team," Hitchcock said. "I know people get that way when you win, but this is a team that from Christmas on pushed its own engine. We didn't push it for them.
"I'm so proud of this team and the players and the coaches. I feel like we answered every bell. We went the distance with every team and answered every bell. I don't think I could be prouder of a team."
"I think we deserve it," Stars veteran center Guy Carbonneau said. "I think we worked for two years for that. I think everybody was disappointed last year, and to win it in a fashion like that, everybody deserves a big round of applause. We worked so hard since September. It was hard, but I think it was fun."
