"As you are likely aware, the Administration and Congress are continuing to work to resolve a series of economic or fiscal events, collectively referred to as the "fiscal cliff," that are scheduled to occur around the end of the year. One of the key issues involves potential across-the-board reductions in Federal spending- also known as "sequestration"-which were put in place by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Under current law, these reductions are scheduled to take effect on January 2, 2013. Many of you have raised questions regarding the impact of a potential sequestration for the Department of the Treasury, and I would like to take a moment to clarify a few things," the memo begins.
"First and foremost, it is important to keep in mind that the Administration remains focused on working with Congress to reach agreement on a balanced deficit reduction plan that avoids such cuts. Sequestration was never intended to be implemented, and there is no reason why both sides should not be able to come together and prevent this scenario."

as i refuse to get stressed by thesis, i do a million things to destress myself. 1st of all i eat a ton now just to wake myself up. food here in manila is the best you'll ever find the world over. trust me, i've travelled a lot with my family and manila food is still the best. whether it's cooked japanese style, filipino style, american style italian etc etc.
now that the dept of tourism has something to thank me for, i'd like to share how christmas construction in manila has started. since we are a predominantly catholic/christian country, christmas is big here. more on the traditions than with the santa and other trimmings department stores have come up with. but as of late, malls and dept stores have gone the western route and started to introduce santa to us devout catholics here. how santa goes into houses i don't know how since we do not have chimneys or heating here.
gingerbread house contruction at gateway mall, cubao, quezon city, manila
roof shingles of gingerbread house at gateway mall, cubay, quezon city, manila
various construction methods
happy holidays everyone!
For some reason this really makes me want to visit the Philippines.
Also, you are adorable!!!!! I like your haircut. Super cute. Watch out for those archinect men, now.
Pictures of people eating is usually not so adorable:
The Patty Patty Patty kid made me stop eating cheeseburgers for awhile.
myriam: haha thanks! i was actually having haircut remorse (was so stressed out with design that i one day just stood up and got a haircut) and thought that i looked like a little boy (after my uniform asian long straight hair). and you have to visit the philippines! while a million websites tell you not to because of safety issues, those are all paranoid people thinking that we are hiding the alqaeda or something. nothing remotely exciting happens here. when you see the mall of asia i'm pretty sure that will make you want to visit us soon hehe.
orequal: i'm not exactly surer what he's eating. but where i come from, burgers are usually.. a bun.. a patty and another bun. although some really good burger chefs came up with putting everything on burgers. bacon.. cheese.. onion rings... salsa... wasabi... i'll post more on that next time. and.. he looks like he's not enjoying his food. which is so wrong. food is life. hahaha.
ailiech: thanks!
next time i'll post more architecture-y hehe
The link to that story is dead somehow, but he ordered a 16x16 (16 patties and 16 slices of cheese) at In-n-Out. Then he gorged himself while someone took photos. Really incredibly disgusting. I assume that he had a mild heart attack afterward.
Anyway, myriam started it...
But I do like reading this one.

I posted this on my WordPress blog & thought that it was worth sharing here. We could all use a good laugh!...I mentioned in my Funny Searches post that someone had searched using the term "what does a diabetic look like." Unfortunately, I lost that screen shot when my computer died. Yesterday, someone was searching again for pictures of diabetics so I have new screenshots. .The very top search on the first picture was "pictures of diabetics." Then we had a slightly different search and someone searched for "pictures of someone who has had gastroparesis." That one is towards the bottom of the second picture and I highlighted that one. If you go up 4 from that, you will see "picture diabetic." .I really don't understand why someone would think we look different. Like I said in my other post, go to TuDiabetes and see what some of the members look like. We come in a pretty wide variety and I am really not sure what we should look like!.
What Dores A Diabetic Look Like? Well just like anyone else! Who thinks we look any different?
A few years ago I went to a hand clinic for my trigger finger. The physician's assistant was taking my history and I told him I had Type 1 diabetes. He ss\aid, "so do I". And I immediately replied, "but you don't look diabetic".
Doris, if someone using Goolgel or some other search enginge asking what a diabetic looks like they must think we look different!
Doris - I can't type - I know what Google is spelled like & I guess I can't fix it here.
Kathy, did he smack you? That is funny that you said that though.
Had to come back and say we're cuter and smzrter than the average Joe! LOL!
Of course we are cuter Doris. Just look at your picture, who could possibly say that you weren't cute! We just can't type!
LOL To true about the typing! LOL! That's my oldest g-daughter. Isn't she just the cutest?
Yes, your granddaughter is really cute Doris. She must look just like grams! I hope she wasn't looking at your meter when that pic was taken.
AR, I should have asked you for a pic before I posted this!
Mope trying to keep her eyes open while I took her [ic! LOL! I got 5 og her and she blonked in ecwery one of them. I to;d her to make sire she ke[t her eyes open and wa;a She camw up woth thos. LOL!
I think that is a good one though!
You will have to read your message & then re-read what I said about diabetics not being able to type. The sad part is,. I understood every word!

State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais visited four York County schools on Monday, talking about literacy, technical education and providing incentives to teachers.
Continuing a tour of South Carolina schools, Zais visited Hunter Street Elementary and York Comprehensive High schools in the York school district in the morning. He went to Oakridge Middle and Crowders Creek Elementary schools in the Clover district in the afternoon.
"It's important that, about once a week, I get out of that ivory tower of the Rutledge Building," Zais said during his visit to Hunter Street.
In each case, Zais spent time listening to administrators and talking to them about their school's performance before walking around to see what was going on in classrooms.
Zais commended Hunter Street's administrators on the school's "Excellent" rating on its state report card and an "A" from the federal grading system.
Principal Kevin Hood said he and his staff were continuing to work to improve in many areas, specifically in science and in writing across subject areas.
"That's something we're going to see in Common Core, greater integration across subject areas," Zais said. "And I think that's a good thing."
But Zais opposes total Common Core adoption in South Carolina. He said the state should be able to pick and choose what parts of it to adapt and leave more flexibility at the district level.
State governors and school superintendents created Common Core education standards to ensure students in every state are ready for college or careers. The standards set what students should know at every grade level. Most U.S. states, including South Carolina, voluntarily adopted the standards.
In conversations with administrators at both York schools, Zais emphasized the need to help students develop strong literacy skills.
"When kids can't read, schools become a place of humiliation and frustration," he said, and that leads to higher dropout rates.
Reducing drop-out rates was one of the main topics of conversation during Zais' visit at York Comprehensive, where Principal Chris Black and Ron Roveri, director of the Technology Center, told Zais about programs they've designed to reduce dropout rates and increase career readiness.
Low graduation rates two years ago were a major contributing factor in York Comprehensive High's recent federal grade of "D."
But Zais said York is taking the right steps to prepare its students for life after graduation.
"I really like the idea of the comprehensive high school," he said. "Not many schools in our state are like that."
Throughout his time at the high school, Zais repeated his feelings that traditional high school education often does not serve today's student the way it should.
In South Carolina, he said, 26 percent of adults older than 25 have a four-year college degree, while only 19 percent of jobs require a four-year degree. There are plenty of jobs available in technical fields that are going unfilled, he said, because high school students aren't learning the necessary skills.
"We need to stop treating people who don't get a four-year degree like second-class citizens," he said.
At each school, Zais visited a few classrooms or observed projects.
At Hunter Street, he watched a Montessori classroom, where 4-year-old students sat quietly, independently working. He never would have been able to do that as a child, Zais said, but some children thrive in that environment.
"This is a good example of what I've always said," Zais said. "One size does not always fit all."
At York, he lamented the lack of a teacher for the cosmetology classroom, which is part of the school's Technical Center. Black and Roveri said they would like to fill the position soon, but the district hasn't had the money to do so.
Zais also encouraged Black and Hood to foster great teachers, saying the best thing a principal could do is provide every student with an excellent teacher. At the high school, he suggested exploring financial incentives for high-performing teachers.
That prompted Black and Superintendent Vernon Prosser to chuckle, saying they would like to if the district could afford it.
Overall, Prosser said, the visits went well.
"Our schools are making a difference in the lives of our students," he said. "It's nice he was able to come out and see what we're all about."

Analysis of interval-censored data from clustered multistate processes: application to joint damage in psoriatic arthritis
A conditionally Markov multiplicative intensity model is described for the analysis of clustered progressive multistate processes under intermittent observation. The model is motivated by a long-term prospective study of patients with psoriatic arthritis with the aim of characterizing progression of joint damage via an irreversible four-state model. The model accommodates heterogeneity in transition rates between different individuals and correlation in transition rates within patients. To do this we introduce subject-specific multivariate random effects in which each component acts multiplicatively on a specific transition intensity. Through the association between the components of the random effect, correlations in transition intensities are accommodated. A Monte Carlo EM algorithm is developed for estimation, which features closed form expressions for estimators at each M-step. Copyright (c) 2008 Royal Statistical Society.

Whenever I do a Google search, and then hold my cursor over a link that it returns, it shows the final, target address where I will end up if I click on the link. However, if I click on that link, it immediately switches to a Google address, goes there for just a second, and then takes me to the actual target address.
I know that Google is tracking where I go whenever that happens.
Does anyone know an easy way to keep it from routing through Google, so that they can't easily track where I go?

It came faster than expected. Beautiful hair. Perfect color blend.
The shipment was super fast, the seller was patient and polite and most importantly the product was awesome.
Best clip-und I have bought ! When in recieved the hair it was in a plastic package with a bit of a weird smell. I co washed it to get the smell out of the hair. Which I recommend you do.
Quick shipping, top quality grade of hair, no tangles, very little shedding and hair is very soft, light, and great quality.
AMAZINGGGGGGG I LOVE THE HAIR it's nice thick & soft !!!! Can't wait to install
I decided to try your hair extensions although I have to be honest that I was not expecting much when I made the order. But when I received the items I found out that the hair extensions were surprisingly of good quality, definitely better that ones I tri
I love this hair !! This is the best hair I have bought on here . No tangles , no shedding it feels like real natural hair .
You're reviewing: 24" #22 Light Ash Blonde 9pcs Straight Full Head Set Clip In Human Hair Extension [CHS0133]
Make a U part on your back head that spans from ear to ear. Snap open each clips on one of your wefts.
Place the clips along the line and snap shut. Make sure it's secure.
Add another weft following step 2. Continue to add wefts until the desired style is achieved.
Or you can add in wefts from the top (around the top of the ear) and work your way down.
Once the back is finished, you may use the single clip pieces to fill in the sides.
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.
In order to offer premium quality items, all the hair extensions will be shipped directly from our factories to http://ca.hairextensionbuy.com/ first and then after careful checking, http://ca.hairextensionbuy.com/ will ship the item out.

MOTUL AUTECH GT-R Wins Second Race This Season
First Victory for Nissan GT-R at Sugo
On July 26, the "SUGO GT 300KM RACE," Round 5 of the 2009 AUTOBACS SUPER GT, was held at Sportsland Sugo (one lap: 3.704 km, 81 laps) in Miyagi Prefecture and the GT500 class winner was the MOTUL AUTECH GT-R driven by Satoshi Motoyama/Benoit Treluyer. It was the second win this season. The final race started under the hot midsummer sun. Right after the start, the HASEMI TOMICA EBBRO GT-R took the lead from its pole position, but that lead was taken over by the ENEOS SC430, which had taken second position in qualifying, when it got stuck behind a back marker. Later when the rain began to fall, all the teams returned to the pits to change to rain tires and positions changed hands drastically. However, when all the teams had finished changing to rain tires, the ENEOS SC430 took back the lead.
But then, the rain began to let up some two-thirds of the way into the race and the pace of the ENEOS SC430, which had been fitted with heavy rain tires, began to fall. The MOTUL AUTECH GT-R, shod with tires for lighter rain, closed in quickly and took the lead 15 laps from the end.
Although the MOTUL AUTECH GT-R team had put up the 4th best time in qualifying, it was penalized in the morning practice, and was pushed back to starting in 6th position on the grid for the final race. It took back that 4th position in the early stages of race, and then moved up to 2nd thanks to timing its pit stop well. This was the first time for Nissan to win the GT500 class at Sugo. Last year's champion team ended a 15-year jinx.
In the GT300 class, the HANKOOK PORSCHE team of Mitsuhiro Kinoshita/Masami Kageyama claimed the victory. This is the second race for the team since Round 2 at Suzuka, and with the win they posted that time, this makes two wins in two appearances this season.
Attendance: 26,000
+Comments from winners
No. 1 MOTUL AUTECH GT-R [GT500]
Satoshi Motoyama: "I think it was just a coincidence (Nissan) hadn't won at Sugo, but when they said they hadn't won, it made me feel I had to give it all I had. Just for that alone, it makes me really happy that Nissan (GT500 class) got its first victory. We assumed that it would begin to rain during the race, and worked out what to do with the team beforehand. I radioed information about the course condition and rain, the team took into account other drivers' times and had me come into the pits. This victory and the top-place ranking is testament to the strength of the team and the machine, and further that motivates us. We want to run good races and have our sights set on the championship."
Benoit Treluyer: "I got the machine from Motoyama in good condition, and the team strategy and tire choice was also good. There were a few laps with heavy rain after I had taken over that were difficult, but I never let the No.6 car (leader) get away from me. After the rain let up, even though our machine was faster, I decided to bide my time, not push it and wait for a chance to overtake the No.6 car which I did. I want to give my thanks to the team for putting together a good machine and making good tire choices."
No.33 HANKOOK PORSHE [GT300]
Hiromitsu Kinoshita: "The rain didn't seem to be all that heavy to me, so I chose intermediate (shallow tread) tires, as did many others in the GT500. There would be a chance that wet (deep tread) tires in the latter stages of the race, when the track surface was getting dry, would not hold up. I knew that when the surface was dry, our tire compound would give us an advantage. Just that when I left the pits, it felt like I was driving on ice. In the final stages of the race, I got very apt advice from Kageyama over the radio, the lag between the cars behind me, and he told me, 'Go for it!' which gave me back my composure. It was really a help to me. I'll be taking part in Round 7 at Fuji and in the final round at Motegi."
Masami Kageyama: "I am so overcome with emotion that I could cry. Budget restrictions meant we could only take part in four races this season. This was the second. The team put together a good machine for us, and HANKOOK (winning Round 2) made great tires for us different from those at Suzuka. On top of that, I want to give my thanks to Kinoshita who raced under some very trying conditions. The last win was thanks to me (laughs), but this time belongs to Kinoshita and the HANKOOK tires that were so good in the rain. And my thanks to heaven, which was on our side this time."

Moved WordPress to a different folder site gives errors
General Summary
I openly admit I am a novice. I recently installed and set up everything on my website via a subdirectory. Once everything was complete, I then copied it all to a different location (same server, just one level up). At first it worked. I posted, that worked. Then when I went back to it (right after I posted up everything was working on twitter) and I was given an error message on a white screen.
I went to original sub directory it was in, in fact put in a simple index file in the main folder that pointed to the /wordpress/ location but none of that works either. All the links and things are there, but to click on any page results in the page simply refreshing itself.
When moving wordpress, in particular what files need to be updated for locations and is this a possible permissions issue?

Exciting news hot off the trail running press: some of the world's most successful trail runners will be coming to South Africa in September.
Kilian Jornet and Anna Frost will join South African Salomon team mates Ryan Sandes, Cas Van Aardenne, Linda Doke and Hanlie Booyens as well as key international and local Salomon staff for a mountain-running seminar tour of SA.
Seminars are scheduled to take place in Gauteng (11 Sept), Durban (13 Sept) and Cape Town (15 Sept).
Salomon sees itself as 'the mountain sport company' and is dedicated to the global growth and improvement of trail running. "If the rapid growth in participation; and the wide variety of events on the calendar is any indication, trail running is poised to explode in South Africa. This trip is an opportunity for the international team to share their incredible talent, experience and expertise with the local trail running community," said Salomon South Africa's brand manager Lee Besnard.
Topics will include:
- Technical insights into the use of compression and other performance garments (by one of Salomon's international R&D experts).
- The company's sports marketing strategy (by Greg Vollet, Salomon's Global Outdoor Sports & Community marketing manager).
- Talks by the athletes on their racing and training experiences, notably Kilian Jornet, Anna Frost and Ryan Sandes.
- Talks by experts on topics ranging from podiatry to physiotherapy and recovery.
The latest designs in Salomon trail footwear will also be on show, and guests will be able to test and provide feedback on new models. Salomon values all feedback and uses input from a broad spectrum of athletes, from elite racers to trail newbies, to continuously evolve their products and help drive the progression of the sport.
See the Salomon SA Facebook page for details on how to secure your spot at the seminar. Seats are limited!
The International Salomon team's South African tour will culminate in them competing in the Crazy Store Table Mountain Challenge on 18 September. One of the highlights at this 35km trail race around and over Cape Town's iconic Table Mountain will be the Sandes/Jornet dual.
"Kilian only races one way and that's to win," said Sandes. "He's had an awesome year and won just about everything he has entered. But I also love winning and this is my home mountain..."
"I may need some help from some of my Cape cobra and puffadder friends though," he joked. "Kilian's often told me how he hates snakes. My advice: if he runs slowly the snakes won't be a problem."
Compiled and issued by Jazz Kuschke Media on behalf of Salomon Sports.
Frosty made her debut in ultra distance trail with her win at the The North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Mile Championships in 2010 (7hrs 45min), beating renowned ultra-distance athlete Lizzy Hawker by 13 mins.
"I'm hoping local runners will be inspired by the International team being here and that the seminars will help grow the sport," Sandes said from Colorado where he's been training and acclimatising for the past three weeks. "It's not every day you get to run with the likes of Kilian Jornet."
Most noted for his Kilian's Quest achievements, which include running across Corsica in 2009 (188 miles in 32hrs 54mins, world record), setting a new course record for the 165km Tahoe Rim Trail (circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe) in 38hrs 32min, running the 849km length of the Pyrenees in just 8 days 3hrs (world record), and scaling Kilimanjaro (world record for the ascent [5hrs 23min) and the round trip [7hrs 14min], Kilian has proven that even the impossible can be achievable...

The string of rooms on the ground floor of the funky Sibell-Wolle Fine Arts building that are rather grandly known as the CU Art Galleries have just undergone a makeover that makes them more worthy of the name. The formerly plain-Jane spaces have been dressed up with a fresh coat of paint and some light renovation, including the addition of a diagonal wall of glass and galvanized metal panels that mark the entrance. These changes were brought about by Susan Crane, director of the CU Galleries, who worked with the University of Colorado's facilities-management office to tie the construction to another project designed to bring Sibell-Wolle in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. But in the process of acquiring an elevator, the building also acquired what promises to become a true gallery space.
While Crane is pleased with the remodeling work and particularly happy to have had her place thoroughly cleaned, she's hardly begun. She wants more than nice rooms in a grungy art building: She wants a proper museum constructed somewhere on the Boulder campus. Given her background, Crane's ambitious plans are no surprise; she came to CU from Atlanta's High Museum, having previously worked at the Walker in Minneapolis and the Albright-Knox in Buffalo. CU chancellor Richard Byyny and Arts and Sciences dean Peter Spear have already bought into her idea, which calls for the museum to be built as an element of new and badly needed studio facilities, with "a separate presence from the exterior," Crane says. Visionary architect Antoine Predock is working on the initial planning phase in conjunction with RNL, a Denver-based architectural firm.
But where on the crowded campus could such a facility be built? "There are a hundred possibilities," says Crane, unconvincingly. Fortunately, one of them is not Grandview Terrace, so preservationists can breathe a sigh of relief. That historic neighborhood just north of campus, a delightful assortment of residences from the early twentieth century that was long ago dubbed "faculty row," is the subject of an ongoing threat from wrongheaded university planners who want to demolish most of the area for campus expansion. But not for a combination museum/studio space---a more likely spot for that is on top of the Euclid Street subterranean parking structure near the University Memorial Center and just off Broadway, a location that would encourage non-campus visitors. "The parking lot was built so that a building could be constructed over it," notes Crane.
The soonest the museum could be up and running is "2006 to 2007," she says, "if everything goes according to plan--which it never does." So in the meantime, Crane will have to make do with the freshly scrubbed CU Galleries, which are hosting two exhibits that inaugurate the new look and also highlight CU's mammoth print collection. Even so, many of these prints have not seen the spotlight of day for decades, if ever.
Under the direction of art historian and now-retired professor John Hoag, CU had long collected prints--but it attained its current premier position among Colorado institutional collectors by default. The Denver Art Museum's print collection once rivaled CU's, but over the last few years the DAM has been foolishly deaccessioning its holdings in the medium; plans call for dumping still more in the very near future. CU, however, is enlarging its collection, already "the largest and most important collection of prints in the state," says Crane. "I like the intimacy of works on paper, including prints." (Prints also have a certain economic appeal, since an entire collection can be put together for what otherwise would buy a single painting.)
The first of Crane's two print shows, Mark Makers: Painterly Abstraction From the Colorado Collection, fills the entry gallery. It's a small but smart display featuring modern and contemporary prints by some of the biggest names in the business. Many of these prints are abstract-expressionist, and if the concept weren't so familiar, it would seem oxymoronic: Abstract-expressionist style is reliant on spontaneity, whereas by definition, printmaking is about careful replication. Still, you can't argue with results this good.
Just inside the entrance are a pair of Robert Motherwells: a diminutive etching, "Untitled (AFA 131)," done in 1966, and "Pauliac #2," a larger vertical piece from the 1973 "Summer Light Series" that uses collage, lithography and screen printing (among other techniques). The etching is like a Rorschach test inkblot marking one extreme in Motherwell's approach; "Pauliac," with its hard-edged, constructivist character, reveals the opposite tendency.
Near the Motherwells is "Lot's Wife," a three-part, vertically stacked color lithograph from 1971 by the late artist's onetime wife, Helen Frankenthaler. Never literal, Frankenthaler merely suggests what became of Lot's wife--she was turned into a pillar of salt--by leaving the center of the three connected sheets blank. Another classic example of abstract-expressionist style is "Mercury," a Sam Francis lithograph from 1963. Totally avoiding both literal and figural elements, Francis suggests the mythical figure of the title through gestural lines and horizontal and diagonal forms.
More than abstract expressionism is on display here, however. Frank Stella's "Swan Engraving Blue," from 1983, is characteristic of his work during that period. Within a sky-blue border, Stella sets a jumble of jagged shapes, mostly in black on white but with elements done in blue. The print combines a wide array of techniques: engraving, of course, as well as etching and woodcut. There's also a representative Sean Scully, "Standing II," a 1986 woodcut in which thick brown horizontal lines are massed above black and gray vertical bars. The heavy saturation of the inks is quite effective and gives the print the look of watercolor.
Only a couple of the prints in Mark Makers include recognizable images. Elizabeth Murray's "Snake Cup," a color lithograph from 1984, depicts an abstracted cup and saucer with a snake-like form wrapped around the rim. "Kimono Still Life Vase," a 1992 woodcut and monotype by former Boulderite and CU art professor Betty Woodman, is just what the title suggests: a still life of a vase, although Woodman has taken pains to disguise her subject through simplification and abstraction.
Nearly every piece in Mark Makers was a gift to CU from well-known Colorado collectors Mark and Polly Addison. The only exceptions are two Larry Poons silkscreens, donated by New York collectors Phyllis and Aron Katz. The substantial donations from this pair of generous couples reveal the key role private collectors play in creating public collections like CU's. Not only do such collectors donate the art itself, but they also pass on their vision.
It's the Katzes' vision that predominates in the second, much grander show, Pop! Selections From the Colorado Collection, which occupies the capacious set of rooms in the back of the CU Galleries. Whereas the prints in Mark Makers are contemplative, in Pop! they're downright bombastic. Thanks to the Katzes and, to a lesser extent, the Addisons, the depth of CU's pop-art holdings is remarkable. Pop! stars a roster of famous artists from the mainstream New York school as well as West Coast players and even some Brits; their work offers a look at both the '60s pop art movement and its heirs.
Although his onetime partner, Jasper Johns, is nowhere to be found in Pop! (perhaps his works are too expensive), the Colorado Collection does contain several pieces by pop pioneer Robert Rauschenberg. Particularly striking are the set of six photo-silkscreen and collage prints from the 1977 "Chow" series, among the few items in either show that have been exhibited before. The subjects of all the "Chow" prints are torn bags of Purina animal food, for creatures as ordinary as domesticated hogs to more extraordinary ones, like monkeys.
Pop! also displays Robert Indiana's entire "The Folder Five" series. Each of these five silkscreens features a five-pointed star in a circle where various mottos are inscribed: "American Dream" in the center, surrounded by "Eat," "Die," "Err" and "Hug." This famous suite refers back to the work of Charles Demuth, whose seminal 1928 painting "I Saw the Number Five in Gold" anticipated the pop art movement by decades. Indiana appropriates Demuth's chosen numeral five (itself inspired by a period William Carlos Williams poem) line for line.
James Rosenquist's "Horseblinders" of 1968-69 is another series seen in its entirety. Each print is subtitled according to the four cardinal directions; for example, in "Horseblinders (East)," Rosenquist, a former billboard painter, places a super graphic rendition of a paintbrush on top of a gray and red backdrop. This series is one of the real standouts in Pop!, deserving of its prominent space at the start of the exhibit.
More typical than these complete suites, though, are the individual works in Pop! Two Roy Lichtenstein prints offer markedly different approaches and technique. "Untitled," from 1973, is classic Lichtenstein, a blurring of the distinction between popular culture and fine art that gained the artist international fame during his lifetime. In this cartoon version of a man's hand, a pointed finger, colored naturalistically, is aimed directly at the viewer against a fiery red ground. "Two Paintings: Painting in a Gold Frame," a 1984 print combining a variety of techniques, represents a later Lichtenstein phase, when his subject was the nature of art itself. The bottom and left side of the print provide a glimpse of a cartoon sketch of a frame; the painting within the frame is an abstract-expressionist one. With irony and wit, Lichtenstein conveys the gestural paint-laden brush strokes of abstract expressionism in the flat manner of a commercial illustration. In so doing, he subverts the established concepts of abstract painting.

Also interested in subversion was the legendary Andy Warhol. Unfortunately, the two Warhol prints in Pop! mark a low point in the artist's career, when he turned to portraits such as the drag queens seen in the pair of "Ladies and Gentlemen" silkscreens from 1975. What at first glance appears to be a fabulous early Warhol, one of his significant "Brillo Box" prints, is actually a postmodern spoof, a 1991 silkscreen by Mike Bidlo titled "This Is Not a Warhol." With that title, Bidlo refers to both pop guru Warhol and surrealist master Rene Magritte, who made a career of this kind of deadpan humor.
Crane's intelligent choices for Mark Makers and Pop!--not to mention the insight and generosity of the Addisons and Katzes that made her choices possible--provide viewers not just a valuable lesson in the recent past of prints, but a glimpse at the bright future of the revived CU Galleries.
Mark Makers: Painterly Abstraction From the Colorado Collection and Pop! Selections From the Colorado Collection, through March 20 at the CU Art Galleries in the Sibell-Wolle Fine Arts Building on the Boulder campus, 303-492-8300.

Meanwhile, the CBOE S&P 500 VIX Volatility ( VIX), a gauge that typically moves in the opposite direction of the SPDR S&P 500 Trust ( SPY), is holding above a 50-day and 200-day moving average.
What may be more remarkable than the interest rate story is the high probability than something else is weighing on common stocks -- something other than the overstated possibility of Fed tapering its bond binge. In other words, the 10-year yield may dip back to 2% or below in the near future, but that may not be enough to encourage a stock rally. The other story? The Japanese yen may cease to depreciate further and begin recovering against world currencies; that would effectively end the "carry trade" used to finance the purchase of higher-yielding and higher appreciating assets. In fact, the CurrencyShares Yen Trust ( FXY) often moves in the opposite direction as the SPY. Granted, it still makes sense to keep an eye on the direction of interest rates. If the 10-year moves significantly higher than 2.25% (a possibility that I regard as improbable), rate-sensitive income producers would feel even more pain. Still, if you really want to know whether U.S. stocks can withstand the pressure cooker, track the FXY. If the yen tracker manages to stay above its intermediate-term, 100-day trendline, and climb even higher, U.S. stocks may find themselves in the same downward spiral that other asset classes have already experienced.

The thought of bathing your cat may conjure an image of an angry wet feline causing grievous injury as she explodes into a fury of teeth and claws. Professional cat groomers have no such qualms and simply apply their skills to ensure the bath proceeds quickly and humanely. Their efforts end with a clean cat and no trauma. Whiskers or Taffy may even find the experience relaxing.
Efficiency is Key
Professional groomers do not delude themselves into thinking they can convince a cat to enjoy a bath. Instead they focus on a more realistic goal of a gentle and speedy process. Reassurance through petting and speaking soothingly most likely occurs, and groomers maintain a calm demeanor. The trick to a successful bath for a cat is to avoid overacting to feline anger or fear, and finish the job. Due to the feline temperament, the sooner the bath concludes, the better.
Professional groomers use recirculating bathing systems on cats. These systems include a hose and a stainless steel tub. The hose nozzle allows for a gentle stream of water that is not jarring but also thoroughly wets and rinses cats. Groomers favor these systems for their low water use and the little alarm they cause to animals.
Another technique that encourages calm in cats is keeping a screen or mesh at the bottom of the tub. The water can run through the screen and the cats naturally embed their claws into it. This keeps the cat still as she literally attaches herself to the bottom of the sink.
Cats have different sensitivities to dogs, and veterinarians emphasize the importance of only using shampoo made for cats. Shampoos containing selenium compounds and tar are helpful for dogs but they are dangerous to cats. Medicated cat shampoos instead contain sulfur, salicylic acid or benzyl peroxide, which are not dangerous to cats.
One drying system designed specifically for cats looks like a glass cage with one hose that vacuums hair out of the enclosed system and another that blows heated air to dry the cat. This device dries a cat quickly and prevents loose hair from cluttering a grooming area. Other groomers instead dry a cat with warm towels and then fluff dry them using a hand-held or table dryer. Dryers for cats do not need to be as warm as they are for humans, so temperature control is important. During fluff drying, professional groomers restrain the cat with a noose just as they do with dogs. While dogs stand through the drying process, the groomer will lower the noose so the cat can lie down and feel more relaxed.
Safety Considerations
Few cats require medical sedation while grooming. Many cats stay quiet throughout and endure grooming without injury to themselves or the groomer. Injuries from cat bites or scratches incur liability, so if a feline is just too agitated or aggressive, the groomer may decide to cancel the appointment. Groomers decide to cancel appointments infrequently, as cat grooming is a specialty and its practitioners are not intimidated by a cat's fear or anger. Professional groomers recommend regular brushing by the cat's owner to prepare the cat to endure professional grooming with less agitation.

Other Bemidji schools to consider calendar changes
BEMIDJI — What about other schools?
It is recommended parents and guardians check with their student's teacher or school administrator to get the most current information.
TrekNorth and Schoolcraft both reported Thursday they will be considering the Bemidji Area School's calendar changes, but it is nearly certain they will convert the Feb. 12 day into a full school day as well.
Scott Anderson at Schoolcraft said his students also will have class on Presidents Day, Feb. 17.
TrekNorth's school board is set to meet Tuesday, at which time it will consider the remainder of the year, Dan McKeon said.
At Voyageurs Expeditionary School, an email reported its school board meets next week as well and will consider at that time the best course of action for the remainder of the year.
For parochial schools, it is more complicated as those schools do not always as closely follow the district's calendar.
Carol Rettinger, at St. Philip's School, said the school already decided to convert Feb. 14 into a school day, transitioning it from what had been scheduled for a teachers' in-service day to a day of class.
The rest, she said, will be decided Tuesday, when the school board meets, and St. Philip's staff will be communicating with parents.

Devonshire Park audience members got an unexpected shock in the theatre's thriller on Tuesday night when a runaway prop wheelchair plunged into the orchestra pit.
Double Death, which is the main show in the Devonshire Park Theatre summer season and runs until August 23, tells the story of twins, one of whom is confined to a wheelchair following a terrible accident.
The wheelchair in question however obviously decided to take more of a central role at Tuesday night's performance when actress Kim Tiddy didn't put the brake on strongly enough and the chair began to move slowly towards the orchestra pit.
Kim, who was upstage with her back to the audience while the wheelchair made its slow but doomed roll to the front of the stage and the waiting pit, was unaware of the unfolding events, which were all too obvious for the assembled audience.
Coronation Street actor Brian Capron, who plays the detective in the thriller, said, "I heard an almighty crash and ran to the wings, to see the spinning wheels of the wheelchair in the orchestra pit below, and a rather shocked but ever professional Kim standing upstage!
"The assistant stage manager Greg managed to retrieve the prop and return it to stage with very little fuss and the play carried on as before.
"That's live theatre for you - I think the audience loved it!"
Andrew Paul, who takes the dual roles of the identical twins, had the next line in the show, which was "So far, so good." Brian said it "brought the house down."
At the curtain call Brian quipped, "Thank you for bearing with us with the wheelchair incident, but as it went down so well we're thinking of putting in every show."
Luckily no-one was hurt by the wheelchair's plunge.
For tickets for Double Death call 412000.

New Mexico Cattle Ranches
Some interesting facts about Catron County, New Mexico
Catron County encompasses almost 7000 sq. miles – larger than several states – yet its' population is only 3725 folks according to the 2010 census. Little has changed from the first census in 1930 when the population was listed at 3282. Of course, the 12,000 elk in the county make up for the lack of people!

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Al Jefferson scored 28 points, Kemba Walker had 20 points and 14 assists, and the Charlotte Bobcats defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 101-92 Friday night for their sixth straight win at home.
Jefferson shot 12 of 18 from the field and reached 20 points for the 22nd time in his last 24 games. Chris Douglas-Roberts added 14 points, including four 3-pointers, and a season-high nine rebounds for Charlotte (29-33), which surpassed its win total from the previous two seasons combined.
The Bobcats, seventh in the Eastern Conference, improved to 3-0 this season against the Cavaliers and now own the tiebreaker against both Detroit and Cleveland, the ninth- and 10th-place teams in the East.
Dion Waiters and Luol Deng each scored 19 points for Cleveland, which began the night 3 1/2 games behind Atlanta for the final playoff spot in the East.
Charlotte's six-game home winning streak is its longest since a seven-game run in March 2010.
The Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers by six points in each of the two previous meetings this season without Jefferson, who sat out both games with a sprained ankle.
Jefferson had 38 points against Miami and 34 in a win over Indiana this week, and was a big factor from the outset against the Cavaliers. He used a series of pump fakes and up-and-under moves to fool the Cavaliers, and continued to knock down his mid-range jump shot.
The 6-foot-10 center scored 18 points in the first half on 8-of-10 shooting to help Charlotte build a 55-50 lead at the break despite the Cavaliers shooting 55 percent from the field.
Cleveland took an 81-80 lead on a pair of free throws by Waiters with 7 minutes left in the game. But Walker matched that with two free throws of his own and knocked down a jumper to spark a 15-5 run that put Charlotte safely ahead.
The Cavaliers shot just 32 percent in the second half.
Walker has 61 points in the Bobcats' three games against the Cavaliers this season.
Charlotte held Kyrie Irving to 13 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Irving came in averaging 24.5 points in his previous four games in Charlotte.
Josh McRoberts added 11 points and seven assists for the Bobcats.
Knicks 108, Jazz 81
NEW YORK (AP) -- Carmelo Anthony scored 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter, sending the New York Knicks to a rare easy night in a 108-81 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday.
Anthony added a season-high eight assists while playing just three quarters of a game that wasn't competitive for long after the opening tip. J.R. Smith had 17 points and Tyson Chandler finished with 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Knicks, who led by as many as 32.
With a long way to go to get back into playoff position, the Knicks won their second straight following a seven-game losing streak. They began a favorable portion of their schedule by opening an early double-digit lead and remaining comfortably ahead the rest of the way.

Lacks Quality & Comfort
October 10, 2013
I found this tent a huge disappointment. It has a poor fly design and the space is too cramped. The tent was heavy to carry and difficult to set up. The flimsy construction collapsed in the wind; the zippers fell off. When it rained, the tent leaked and collected condensation. I wouldnt recommend it to anyone I know.

Can't Recommend
September 1, 2013
I have seen a lot of other great reviews, so hopefully my experiences were apart from the norm. When I finally went out with this tent, I had a host of problems. The zippers somehow managed to rip with a heavy wind gust, so there was no way to close my tent. It was hard to put up, and it I had problems with leaking and it collapsing in the wind. Could not recommend.

Great for Backpackers
February 29, 2012
This tent is made for backpackers and it certainly delivers in that area. Set up was quick and simple, and once it was up it was weatherproof and stable. Never had any problems with wetness in the tent, and the ventilation kept it cool and comfortable inside. I also think this tent would be excellent for any climbers looking for a sturdy tent. I think this tent was a great purchase and would recommend any other backpackers give it a try.

Well Worth It
December 18, 2011
I most definitely recommend this product! For such a reasonable price, this tent is well worth it. It is well built; the tent itself is lightweight, but the structure is sturdy. I had no difficulty in setting it up. The interior of the tent is quite comfortable. I found the space roomy and the tent both waterproof and windproof. The fly works very well. My only concern is the flimsy floor, but you can easily purchase or make a footprint to protect it. This tent can be used for backpacking, backyard, beach, and other outdoor activities for you and your family.

Minimalist Camping Choice
April 10, 2010
When I go camping, I love to take as little as possible, but I obviously like to have something that is comfortable and durable. This tent delivered that and more. It is completely waterproof, so I didn't have to worry about any storms; and once I had it staked down there was no problem with wind. Light and easy to set up, I would buy this tent again.

Water Tight Tent
August 27, 2009
This tent is ideal for one or two people, but it would be a little bit of a squeeze to put three people inside. We decided to use it during a camping trip that lasted four days and was centered in the southern Appalachian mountain range. There was heavy rain two of those nights, but the tent, and all of the gear that we had inside, managed to stay tight and dry.

Completely Satisfied With Purchase
June 6, 2009
From start to finish, this tent gets high marks on every category. For starters, it arrived on time, and ever since it was put into service, it has always provided the best service. Even during a violent storm that featured wind, rain and hail, it delivered. The rain fly is excellent, keeping everything completely dry as well as offer additional storage space.

LOS ANGELES — In the autumn of his life, Vin Scully has decided to prolong summer for another year.
The Hall of Fame broadcaster, 82, said Sunday that he'll return to the broadcast booth to call Dodgers games for his 62nd season in 2011 because "when push came to shove, I just did not want to leave."
Scully, whose nearly 61 years of service make him the longest tenured broadcaster in sports history, said he made the decision with the blessing of his wife, Sandy, and his five children.
"With continued health, we'll do next year," he said.
He has said that though he loves the job he has had with the team since 1950, when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn, it's increasingly hard to be away from his wife of 36 years.
"My wife understood, God bless her," Scully said in the Dodger Stadium press box named for him. "She said, 'You love it, do it,' and so I love it, and I'm going to do it."
Scully said he considered cutting back his schedule, but at his wife's urging he decided to continue calling all Dodgers home games and road games against NL West and AL West teams. He calls all nine innings of the team's television broadcasts, while the first three innings of his games are simulcast on the radio.
He works alone on the air and long ago reduced his travel schedule to avoid calling games east of the Rockies.
"I'm just going to try to do the best I can, certainly for next year," he said. "Please don't ask me anything about after next year. I'm lucky to look for tomorrow morning."
In March, Scully was briefly hospitalized after falling and hitting his head at home. Scully said he is in good health and still gets excited about his job.
"The love of the game still produces goose bumps. That might be my thermometer," he said. "Every time there's a good play, the other night when the kid at second base threw the ball to first behind his back, I had goose bumps like it was the first big-league game I'd ever seen.
"I went home thinking, 'Holy mackerel, it's still deep inside of me, this love for the game.' I'm so blessed."
Waiting on Strasburg
PHILADELPHIA — Stephen Strasburg's right arm has the Nationals on edge again.
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo said the team will wait for results of an MRI exam before deciding what to do with their injured ace right-hander.
Strasburg strained a tendon in his right forearm Saturday night. Rizzo said he went through his normal post-start workout that included some light tossing, and he hoped to have the MRI results by the end of Sunday.
Manager Jim Riggleman said it was "probably safe to say" Strasburg would miss his next start. Rizzo insisted there would be no decision until the MRI exam was done.
DODGERS GET CATCHER: Los Angeles acquired Rod Barajas from the Mets for cash in an effort to bolster the catching corps. Barajas, 34, hit .225 with 12 homers and 34 RBIs in 74 games with New York this season.
GIANTS ADD ROSS: San Francisco was awarded OF Cody Ross from the Marlins on a waiver claim. Ross, 29, is batting .264 with a .315 on-base percentage and a .404 slugging percentage in 451 at-bats.
ANGELS: INF Maicer Izturis went on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation. RHP Jordan Walden was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake City.
ROCKIES: CF Carlos Gonzalez was in the starting lineup for the first time since banging his right knee against the outfield wall Wednesday night.

I learned decades ago from legendary Washington Post sports writer Bill Gildea that boxing offers any number of moments fit for the theater of the absurd. So upon arriving at Constitution Hall last night expecting to cover a 7:15 news conference promoting Floyd Mayweather's rematch against Marcos Maidana, I suppose I shouldn't have been too alarmed when told the three private jets carrying the principles and their respective teams were grounded at Teterboro airport because of severe weather.
At that point, there were probably two dozen or so reporters waiting in the media holding area in the basement trying to determine whether to wait it out or call it a night. The consensus was to sit tight and hope those planes would receive clearance to depart, figuring once airborne that Mayweather would arrive within 90 minutes, even if he was to land at Dulles airport instead of Reagan.
Killing time for sports writers often involves eating, at least in a perfect world. Thank goodness for the Swanson Communications public relations staff, most notably Lisa Milner and Kelly Swanson. Lisa was the point person who not only made certain we were fed but also provided frequent updates, which for most of night went like this: "They haven't left yet."
By this time, Kelly, who was with the traveling party on the ground at Teterboro, suggested a teleconference with Maidana just to get that formality settled. Because honestly, Mayweather is always the story, and his opponent is a footnote, at least until the greatest pound-for-pound fighter of his generation loses.
We connected with Maidana and his trainer initially via a land-line speakerphone that was barely audible, even in the bowels of Constitution Hall away from the music blaring through the speakers surrounding the stage. Once it became clear this wasn't going to work, the press corp moved to more secluded space on the main level. Turns out this was Mayweather's dressing room.
As intrepid reporters who rarely gain this type of access, the first item my fellow boxing scribe Dan Rafael of ESPN noticed was a box of LifeSavers Gummies. Apparently Mayweather enjoys these, or perhaps they were intended for one or all of his four children. In any case, Dan and Lisa wound up sharing the box. All of us just hoped Mayweather wouldn't notice, or if he did, wouldn't be mad.
The waiting, and much Tweeting I might add, continued through a Wale concert that was supposed to have happened after the news conference. The Grammy nominated rapper instead became the opening act, but the District native and avid Washington sports fan didn't seem to mind. Neither did the thousand or so fans who braved heavy rain to wait in line for the free performance.
It was shortly after Wale's set when we finally got word Mayweather's plane was in the air. This was at approximately 10:45. By the time Mayweather arrived for the media session at 11:20 or so, there were four reporters left in the room.
I've got to hand it to Mayweather. Not only didn't he mention the missing gummies, he also spent 20 minutes answering all of our questions thoughtfully and patiently, even as the clock approached midnight on what was becoming an 18-hour ordeal for the champ. Mayweather had started his day with a morning news conference in Manhattan to kickoff a five-city, four-day, cross-country press tour, yet you couldn't tell he was working on little if any rest.

VIDEO: Floyd Mayweather compares Marcos Maidana gloves to Antonio Margarito, Luis Resto — http://t.co/uIflQHOxZK
— David Greisman (@fightingwords2) July 15, 2014
With my midnight filing deadline drawing near, I gathered my belongings and thanked Mayweather before exiting his dressing room and planting myself on a bench next to an outlet in the hallway outside the main stage. There I cobbled together the story that appeared online and in this morning's print edition.
Most of that process remains a blur. That's what happens when you're trying to write 600 words in five minutes. Still, the entire experience was one for the books. I'm pretty sure I'll never cover another news conference that begins anywhere close to midnight. But then I remind myself this is boxing, so who knows.

The Red Sox, Bruins, Celtics and eventually Patriots will all find ways to remember the 2013 Boston Marathon in coming days.
But as the Chicago Tribune sports section showed so well Tuesday morning, fans and sports teams honoring the heroes and victims of Marathon Monday aren't limited to Boston.
The Louisville and Vanderbilt baseball teams both tweeted Tuesday afternoon that they plan to wear red, white and blue in honor of first responders and in support of Boston at their Tuesday night games. Louisville had a photo of what the uniforms look like.
Check it out in the tweet below.

Beware of Overnight Short Positions
Can we get another doji just for good measure? Another day when we gap higher, then close pretty much where we opened the day? I tossed around the notion of $162.50 or $168 on the SPDR S&P 500 (SPY), and it looks like the latter is very much in play here. Although I thought metals, bonds and equities moving together was a bearish sign, it turned out to be just the opposite.
I also tossed out a theory a few days ago about the bullishness in U.S. equities while the tapering talk was going on. A quick summary was that all the money coming out of precious metals, bonds, the euro and the yen was going into equities and the U.S. dollar. Judging from today's action, I was mostly right. Money coming out of the U.S. dollar appears to be heading back into the euro, yen, precious metals and even bonds. However, money is also still heading into U.S. equities. It's heads I win, tails you lose for U.S. equities at the moment. It's impressive. It really is....398 more words left in this article.

A year ago, Andrew Bogut was the next great big man in a league sorely in need of a next great big man.
He was five years removed from being a No. 1 draft pick, he was throwing down double-doubles with ease, he was on his way to his first All-NBA selection, and he had led the Milwaukee Bucks back to at least relevance, if not quite greatness, in the Eastern Conference.
Things have taken a bit of a downturn since. It was April 3, 2010, when the Bucks hosted the Phoenix Suns, that Bogut fell hard on his right arm finishing a dunk against Amare Stoudemire. He broke his hand, dislocated his elbow, and put not only the Bucks' season, but his entire career in doubt.
Bogut hasn't been the same since, and neither has his team. The Bucks were knocked out of the playoffs in the first round last spring, coming up short in a seven-game thriller with the Hawks. Bogut has turned from one of the game's most reliable young big men into a ticking time bomb of injuries.
He's missed games this year with back spasms, with a bruised knee, and now he's got a muscle strain near his ribcage that should keep him out of action a little longer.
Bogut missed Friday night, when the Bucks got their rematch with the Suns. They lost, 102-88. He's likely to miss Sunday against the Celtics as well.
It's sad, because Bogut's Bucks were beginning to emerge late last season as somewhat of a Boston rival. They were physical, they were chippy, and they didn't back down from the Celtics. It was entertaining basketball.
Will the Bucks give the Celtics a game even without Bogut? Maybe. But it just won't be the same.

It's 6:30 a.m. and they're already late. Paulette Duclos rouses her kids from their bunk beds: Zechariah! Kaianna Yve!
They brush teeth and pull on clothes.
Breakfast is at 7 a.m., but there will be no eggs and grits before prayer.
They pause at the door of their room at the shelter to ask for the Lord's blessings.
"I put it in God's hands," said Duclos, 28. "Everything is going to work out."
These days, divine intervention may be the only hope she has.
• • •
Duclos moved to Tampa this year for a fresh start. The daughter of Haitian immigrants, she grew up in Naples with her mother and stepfather, who taught her to work hard.
But there were always secrets.
And when they got too heavy to bear, she sought refuge with her father, with whom she'd last lived when she was a year old, she said. But instead of a loving family reunion, she found hostility. She bounced from one shelter to the next — the Spring of Tampa Bay for victims of domestic violence, then the Amen Outreach Ministry and now Metropolitan Ministries.
Here, a therapist told her to write the secrets down.
She started with the day she was raped.
She was 7. He was a relative. She had felt like a rose before he tore her to pieces. Afterward, she doubted she would ever be whole again.
She got pregnant at 15. Her dreams of an athletic scholarship to college turned to visions of a better life for her baby. She moved in with an understanding aunt and then a church that sheltered pregnant teens.
When her baby's paternal grandmother took the daughter away, Duclos said she had thoughts of suicide.
Through the church, she learned to lean on the Lord in times of trouble. But the troubles kept coming.
In her journal, she counts four men who beat her. One pulled a knife on her and put a gun to her head. She told him to go ahead. "It was a way out of the pain," she said. But he didn't.
She feared for her life in her last relationship, and so did her children. Her 6-year-old, Zechariah, started sleeping with her. She and the kids stopped eating food the boyfriend cooked out of fear. He stopped buying groceries.
Her teeth started breaking. She thinks it was the stress.
For Thanksgiving 2008, she invited 27 family members and baked two turkeys at her home in Miami. In front of them all, her boyfriend choked her, she said. Her brothers had to pull him away.
She began plotting her escape. She sent her son to live with his father for a while. Kaianna, 9, stayed with a teacher.
Before she left, she rounded up the two children to come along with her. They thought they were headed to a new life.
"I never thought I'd be homeless," Duclos said. "I never imagined it. I lost everything, all at one time."
• • •
In their last home, Zechariah and Kaianna had bedrooms with TVs. Duclos painted their walls with glow-in-the-dark princesses and wild animals. They had a pool with toy frogs in a big back yard.
Now they all share a room smaller than Kaianna's old room.
They covered it recently with clipped pictures from advertisements of toys they want for Christmas. They watch movies while Duclos crochets a blanket for her eldest daughter, whom she hasn't seen in years.
And Duclos writes her thoughts in her journal.
"I feel like I'm going through a healing process," she said.
Last week they walked to a nearby park where they played a game of sharks and whales on playground equipment. She is a shark, they tell their mother. She reaches out to grab her son as he runs by.
"Missed me, missed me, don't you want to kiss me," he sings.
On Sundays, they go to New Millennium Community Church. Duclos says she feels at home there. They gave her two gifts, a WWJD pin that she refers to daily and a Bible, where she stows pictures of her three children.
Last week, pain in one of her broken teeth flared. Her cheek swelled from her ear to her neck. She fears that her teeth or gums have become infected and could be dangerous to her health, but she can't find a dentist to take her Medicaid.
She said she has applied for many jobs, including at places where she worked in the past. She has worked as a supervisor at Burger King and a CVS pharmacy, she said. She sold Herbalife and Avon and cleaned houses.
Still nothing.
In Miami, she completed a certificate in medical billing and coding, hoping to find work at a doctor's office. She likes art, though, and her dream job would be in interior design. Art, she says, soothes the soul.
After prayer each morning, Duclos texts her friends: Have a blessed day. God has a plan. Somebody cares.
"It's a way of meditation," she said, something she would do whether she is in a house or on the side of the street.
She remembers hearing a sad story about a Miami businessman who had become homeless.
"Now I'm in that situation," she said. "It could be anyone. But you never know. God works in mysterious ways."
