Aliens RPG officially axed
We'd previously caught wind of Sega and Obsidian having pulled the plug on their Aliens role-playing game, and now the developer (still hard work on Alpha Protocol for Sega) confirm this to be true.
An official update on the game was offered on the developer's Aliens forums, although no specific reason has been offered. Fallout New Vegas is said to be coming from Obsidian, alongside Bethesda, so the team won't be getting bored.
"Rumors have circled around a bit regarding the fate of the Aliens role playing game that Obsidian and SEGA had been working on," read the statement.
"Unfortunately, it is true that we are no longer working on the game, and we wanted to finally announce that officially to everyone who has been following its development. We're going to keep this forum up for another week for archival purposes and to allow you guys to finish up any open threads, and then we will shut it down since it is no longer a product that is in development."
More on Aliens as we get it.

By SCOTT WILSON
Glasgow Daily Times
Several local teams will be competing in regional cross country meets around the area this weekend. On Saturday, the Barren County High School boys and girls will be running at the Hardin County Fairgrounds near Glendale. Also, the Glasgow High School Scotties and Lady Scotties will compete in Owensboro at the Yellow Creek Park.
"The most obvious thing about the girls' team is that everyone has come together to do their part for the team. They've given a 100 percent at the workouts and at the meets," said Terry Reed, Barren County coach. "With the boys, we're probably seventh in our region. The guys have worked very hard and I think Mason (Dunbar) has put himself in a position, if he runs a good race Saturday, to qualify for the state meet."
"There are a lot of strong teams in our region. Green County, Hancock County and Owensboro Catholic will probably be the top three teams in the meet," said Glasgow coach Mindy Sorrels. "A total of eight boys' teams will be at the meet and I think that means our boys should be able to qualify for state." Only three Lady Scotties will be competing on Saturday.
The Trojanettes will be running at 9 on Saturday morning in Glendale, while the Trojans will be running at 9:45 a.m. The Glasgow boys will start at 11:15 a.m., while the Lady Scotties will go at noon.
For more information, see Saturday's edition of the Daily Times.

Martin: Yankees "continue to have conversations" with Scott HairstonBy
Via Dan Martin: The Yankees "continue to have conversations" with free agent outfielder Scott Hairston. The former Met would presumably fill the Andruw Jones role of designated lefty masher rather than replace Nick Swisher outright.
Hairston, 32, hit .263/.299/.504 (118 wRC+) overall in 398 plate appearances this season, but he tagged southpaws for a .286/.317/.550 (135 wRC+) batting line with eleven homers in 199 plate appearances. He's posted a 121 wRC+ against lefties in his two years across town (119 career). Hairston is a decent defender in the corners and can fake center field in an emergency. Reports this offseason indicate that he'll likely sign a two-year deal worth upwards of $8-10M, which is pretty pricy for a platoon bat. He would be an upgrade over 2012 Jones obviously, but this season was very likely a career year.
72 Comments»
They love b players.
They love to play several different guy and one position. Roster is full of bench warmers.
The bench is full of bench warmers… Who do you want on the bench if not a guy like Hairston? He's one of the better bench guys around.
The answer is obviously to have Josh Hamilton on the bench, just in case.
Mattingly, cut those sideburns…
LOL… How about a bench full bench playerz… Who knew!
Yeah, CC, Cano, A-Rod, Jeter, Tex, Granderson, Kuroda, Mo, D-Rob… What a bunch of scrubs!
They already have a core, so they are filling the roster around it. Teams signing big time free agents are often building a core. Every offseason the same team is not going to add several top free agents. That's not sustainable.
It doesn't mean they should just sign ANYONE that is suited for a bench role. It would be nice if they made some good choices. Not another guy who strikes out a ton and doesn't walk. Might as well bring back Andruw Jones in that case.
Jones was a very good bench player in 2011, then fell off a cliff in 2012. Seeing as all the reports were that he worked harder than he had in years last off-season to increase his playing time, it was not exactly easy to see the cliff coming.
Guys who excel in one or two areas and have some liabilities are the only real bench players you'll find in free agency. Otherwise they would be starters. You can develop or trade for starters to stick on your bench, and you can overpay in FA to stick a starter on your bench… but generally you are looking for either guys whose strengths you can exploit and weaknesses you can hide (a platoon guy, for example, or maybe a health/age risk like Chavez or Ibanez) or someone who is passable all around and somewhat versatile (not the best examples, but guys like Nix or Dickerson or McGehee).
If only the Yankees could get A list players like Ryan Theriot, Brandon Crawford, and Hunter Pence!
And old guys
They love to buy used cars, but used cars don't start well on cold nights in October.
I'd take him to platoon with Ichiro in RF or as part time DH.
Only thing that concerns me is adding a low OBP guy who's value is pretty much tied to him hitting homers.
Decent move if only as a platoon with someone else. He shouldn't be facing righties.
That is a goddam expensive platoon with Ichiro and Hairston… Bt I dig how you're thinking…
Sure $8 to $10MM is a little pricey for a platoon player but considering Jones made a little over $2.5MM with incentives last season and he stunk the 2nd half of the year the roughly $4MM plus Hairsotn would cost per season doesn't sound all that bad. Hairston doesn't strikeout as much as Jones is a better fielder and has a much better BA with RISP then Jones he's probably worth more then Jones.
Then if the Yankees re-sign Ichiro for about $8MM for 2013 the Yankees will have the outfield covered.
Meh. I'd rather have Jonny Gomes or Ryan Ludwick, even if they are a bit more expensive.
Gomes is interesting, but my impression is that he is a terrible fielder. They could go that direction, using Gomes as the RHed DH, but then I think your LHed DH has to be able to play the field better than Ibanez. Don't think they could use 4 spots to fill RF/DH. But I agree, as a bat, Gomes is a fit.
I've liked Gomes since the Tamps days and always thought he'd become something big. I'd be fine with him in the Ibanez/Thames role.
I'd much rather they go after gomes than hairston. They are both righties so wouldn't make sense to get both.
To me, that would depend on how the outfield situation is resolved. Tough to judge one against the other in a complete vacuum.
I think the RH DH is most likely going to be a Jeter/ARod combination.
Good point.
More quick fix players gotta love those Yankees. Here is an idea NY how about you actually go out and get full time players to play a position? NY Yankees soon to be the Mets part 2.
The entire roster is full time right now, even before any moves have been made, except C, RF and DH. They will most probably acquire a full time catcher at some point, leaving only RF and DH as platooning guys. And that might change by the end of the off season too.
Question: from 1996-2000, who was the Yankees' LFer?
Well played sir!
What's joke this teams becoming.
You said it. Since 2010 it feels like the F.O doesn't care about winning a World Series. They get these "bandage" type of players whether it be a pitcher or position players, to just get by. They're frugal ways, poor drafting, and disastrous trades have got me fed up.
I know, right? How about that feont office? How dare they use old guys to reach the post season (every year) when there arent any young talented farm players ready. Damn them.
I wish the Yankees would stop getting "bandage" players like Eric Chavez, Raul Ibanez, Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte, Andruw Jones (2011), Bartolo Colon, Freddy Garcia (2011), Marcus Thames and Lance Berkman.
Are you even old enough to remember the late '90s bud? Based on your comment I really doubt it. Check out those rosters for a minute. Educate yourself a bit.
I can help you both pack your bags if you wish.
I think Hairston would definitely be a nice pick up.
Our best years were with flex/role players at multiple positions such as Curtis, Strawberry, Spencer, Sojo and even Girardi in his later years to name only a few. It's not about having an All-Star at every position. I like the move and it makes sense considering the offense we get from other positions like 2b that many other teams are jealous of however this could backfire on the Yanks without resigning a front-line OF such as an Ichiro. (5 days of Ichiro with a day or two off thanks to a Hairston or a real shot for Dickerson could work).
They're looking at someone who crushed LHP to possible be a 4th outfielder! What a joke they are!
Oh Jesus just re-sign Ichiro to be the RF, Jones to be the #4 OF, and Ibanez to be the primary DH for 2013 only.
Granderson LF / Gardner CF / Ichiro RF / Jones #4 OF / Ibanez DH who can play a little LF and RF in a pinch.
$6M for Ichiro, $5M deferred as he deferred $5M last year so the Yanks pay only a mil for him in 2013, $3M for Ibanez, $2.5M for Jones (half a mil raise.)
Jones has 434 career HRs including 14 with 34 RBI in only 233 AB in 2012 and ten (10) Gold Gloves – that should count for something.
The Yanks somehow got rid of A-Rod and signed Pierzynski for 2013 only, they could theoretically let go of or (in the case of Gardner and Nunez if he makes the team) trade everyone in the starting nine and bench save Teixiera after 2013. If they re-signed Martin for two or three years only Martin, Teixiera, and Sabathia would be under contract beyond 2013.
Have you seen him in the outfield lately? He runs like he's carrying those 10 gold gloves in his pockets.
Is Peavy STILL re-signed by the Sox? Better check the daily transactions to make sure.
Ibanez can face righties, but vs lefties have jeter or nunez be the dh.
They should also try to trade for his brother.
Getting an older guy like Hairston IS the first step to getting younger.
Going with "bandages" in 2013 tells us they want to hold spots for their OF prospects, even if it means a little weaker production for 2013. Otherwise they'd be exploring trading those kids for an established OF.
To me, unless they are scrapping the payroll plan and brining in Hamilton, this seems like the next logical solution. I wouldn't be against a trade, but then you just start the cycle all over again, just like Granderson.
Exactly. It buys them an extra year in order to see how these guys develop without sinking big money and filling a position for the next four or five years.
Remember when we didn't have to explain this on here?
Those were the days…before the trolls found this place. Sigh.
Rather look into gomes over hairston, but your right. Trading 3-4 prospects for a 26 yo rfer is not the long term answer. Keep the prospects and maybe you can then find a cheaper rf, and maybe say goodbye to grandy.
Well, a 26 year-old RF WOULD be a good long-term answer if we're talking about the same folks.
Of those 3-4 prospects, how many will actually become as successful as that one player possibly yet to even enter his prime?
I agree with Mike that I think Hairston's coming off a season that's hard to repeat, but as a bench piece and in the Andruw Jones role? I think that's about right. I'd certainly be game.
In a starting platoon? Probably would not be my top choice, but this team has, as many actually sane people over 12 here have correctly pointed out, won big with makeshift solutions at positions before.
But as the short half of the platoon, isn't that the same as "coming off the bench"? He'll play more than a late innings pinch hitter type player, but your LHed OFer (Ichiro? Dickerson, just to see heads explode…?) would be the "starter", and Hairston would spell all 3 guys.
Good point.
Thinking about it more, I get what you are saying, it would be great if they had 3 starters with no platoon splits. In that case, you'd use your 4th OFer just to rest guys. But getting that full time RFer will require either a long commitment (swisher), huge money (Hamilton), or gutting the system (upton).
Would be nice to have one of those guys, but the reality is more likely to lead us to the platoon.
I hold out hope they figure out a better fourth option than you and I can.
Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald wrote….
"The Royals are listening to offers for Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Alex Gordon, Billy Butler, and even Wil Myers. The Rays, meanwhile, are listening on James Shields and Jeremy Hellickson."
The Royals are very interesting because they could be a potential trade partner with the Yanks. I personally like Butler and Gordon but Butler is a 1B/DH type and the Yankees are going to keep a rotating DH.
Great potential pickups. Probably not so great price tags.
Hairston would be a great pick up. We need a righthanded bat. He could easily start if there's an injury. I don't see signing Ichiro if we already have Gardner and Granderson. Too many leftys.
$1500 to sit at a ballgame where the team is pieced together…..why?
Then don't fucking go.
Wow we are really starting to stink up the joint…The stench of our decaying franchise is becoming quite powerful aka the mid-80′s. Scott Hairston that's the ticket….
189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,….you dont have to worry about that…..
forgrt a right handed DH,we have Arod,he will DH quite a bit,besides usually if you only hit against left handed pitchers you will not bat with any frequency and your timing will suffer and do poorly

In today's struggling economy, it is not unusual to find prospective workers who have been unemployed for a few months. Some companies, however, are practicing what many believe to be a new form of discrimination by not allowing currently unemployed workers to apply for job openings. This has become a particularly worrisome trend for older workers. We take a look at new Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations and their overall impact on age discrimination laws. Joining us for a panel discussion are Scott Oswald and James Urban, two lawyers who testified on the opposite side of the EEOC's age discrimination hearing. Also joining us is Sandy Gross, a veteran job recruiter who speaks with Lark McCarthy regarding her dealings with companies and older job applicants.

Bottle cap collection
Just bought the latest issue of the lovely UPPERCASE magazine, as usual it is beautiful, if you never read one before I suggest you head to the website and order the whole set.
The current issue featured a bottle cap collection by one of the most prestigious designers in the world - Gail Anderson, who was the senior art direction of Rolling Stone magazine (1987 - 2002) and SpotCo.
On her website, Gaid said: "I love stuff. Though I've put a bit of a moratorium on my hoarding, I've accumulated over 300 pairs of salt and pepper shakers, stacks of Fiestaware, a handsome bottle cap collection, a wall full of Mexican crosses, and a modest group of cast iron toys. I've been slowly amassing a stash of botanica candles and Santeria products, but am trying to resist the urge to fill my already crowded shelves with more stuff. My most prized possession, though, is my Jackson Five scrapbook, still held together with its original Elmer's Glue (and lots of lug)."
As a designer as well, I am constantly looking for things to inspire myself. When I look at these bottle caps, the colors, the types and the unique graphic design style truly inspires me; furthermore it also makes me think about the design medium I am in - the World Wide Web, where we have a much bigger canvas to work with - the browser. How can we make the design more intuitive and fun? I guess it is a question worth thinking about...
This is the first article of many more to come, I hope it has inspired you as much as it did to me and please feel free to leave your comments below.

News Article
Genre is a fluid thing. Is Zombieland a horror movie or a comedy? Is the original Saw a slasher or a thriller? Everyone has their own idea of what is horrifying, and what should be classified as horror. I think that I have grown up with a pretty conventional idea of what horror is: something that aims to scare you, to get a reaction on a primal level. Some giant monsters and a few buckets of blood don't hurt either. Unfortunately, horror still has a stigma, that it is mindless, simple, and isn't taken seriously. Many "mainstream" directors incorporate dark subject matter into their films, but haven't taken that jump into full-fledged horror. Below are four directors whose style lends itself to full-out horror.
Chris Nolan
Chris Nolan has always been on the verge of the horror genre. His take on Batman is far darker than Tim Burton's was. His breakout film, Memento, involves a man with no short-term memory who tattoos himself in order to maintain memories as he hunts down his wife's killer. Insomnia is another murder mystery, this one set in a northern town where, at this time of year, the sun never sets. The Prestige is about rival magicians, one whose illusion becomes a lifelong pursuit and the other who turns to science in order to create real magic. His last film, Inception, goes further into the fantastical with a process of going into people's dreams in order to change memories. All of these films are just a few big scares, a higher body count, or a supernatural creature away from being full-fledged horror. Nolan has said that his version of Bane, the villain in his upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, is inspired by classic horror movie monsters. I could totally see Nolan taking on a true ghost story or bizarre serial killer story, maybe with a supernatural slant.
Guy Ritchie
Best known for his intense action flicks like Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, and the recent Sherlock Holmes films, Guy Ritchie has a visual style that is often imitated but scarcely matched. I could see him doing an intense cat-and-mouse slasher flick, or something along the lines of Ghost Rider (but more intelligent). Maybe a mafia member falls afoul of his family, loses his money, turns to black magic to repay his debts, and eventually is running from the mob boss and a demon.
The Coen Brothers
Joel and Ethan Coen are the modern-day masters of noir, and noir isn't far off from horror. Noir relies on a a dark, shadowy setting to invoke tension and mood. While noir doesn't generally have a supernatural or "crazed" aspect, there is always an air of danger; the murderer could be behind every door, down every alley, lurking in every shadow. The Coen brothers would, of course, have to do a horror comedy. The Big Lebowski is one of the funniest films of all time. Fargo stands as one of the quirkiest murder mysteries out there (with a body-in-the-wood-chipper scene that made "mainstream" viewers shudder). No Country for Old Men was dark and violent. And Intolerable Cruelty was the most horrifically awful film I have ever had the displeasure of seeing.
John Waters
It is kind of surprising to me that John Waters has yet to direct a horror film. He enjoys horrifying audiences with gross-out scenes (Pink Flamingoes), subverting Hollywood cinema (Cecil B. Demented), and is obsessed with serial killers (Serial Mom). John Waters couldn't make a "serious" film to save his life (goodness knows I sure as hell don't want to see him go serious). Waters needs to go tongue-in-cheek with a horror movie. I'm thinking deranged clowns versus porn stars versus piranhas. And rivers of blood.

If New York is the City That Never Sleeps, then Foxwoods is the Casino That Never Closes.
There is an urban legend that the casino had planned to close at 2 a.m. on its first day of operation. But since several thousand table game players were in no hurry to leave (there were no slots until 1993), casino officials and the tribe decided it would more practical, and profitable, to make Foxwoods a 24-hour operation.
As a result, since its grand opening in 1992, Foxwoods has never closed. And not even Hurricane Irene could end the streak Sunday.
While the hurricane-turned-tropical storm stymied the East Coast all weekend, completely closing down Atlantic City casinos, NYC transit systems, highways and airports in the process, Foxwoods was open for business. Not exactly business as usual, but the best one could hope for in light of this Act of God.
"Light" is the operative word. Casino staffing was light because of weather and unsafe traveling conditions, causing the closing of several restaurants and retail shops.
Then heavy winds caused lights to go out property-wide Sunday morning. Backup generators restored some electricity, allowing the Grand Pequot and MGM casino and World Poker Tournament room to remain open.
The Festival Buffet, Dunkin Donuts and Fay Da Bakery were the only food outlets operating.
Liquid Sundays, the summer outdoor pool party at MGM with a celebrity DJ, was canceled because this was a liquid Sunday of a different sort.
The Mashantucket Tribe postponed Saturday's Green Corn Pow Wow early last week with a makeup date of Sept. 16-18. Foxwoods' promotions department conducted a luggage gift giveway for invited patrons, drawing 1,800 out of an expected 9,000. The makeup date for those who could not attend is Wednesday, 4-8 p.m.
Two Trees Hotel, just off the casino property, was closed all weekend in anticipation of the hurricane. Foxwoods' Cedar and Pequot hotels lost electricity and hot water Sunday.
Most guests evacuated but some chose to stay.
A New Jersey couple said, "staying here is preferable to driving home in this mess." Not a bad idea for them considering I-95 was closed to traffic from Rhode Island to New York Sunday morning.
On Monday, Foxwoods moved closer to normalcy with the return of additional power sources. Hotels, stores and morning bingo were open as were Grand Pequot, Rainmaker, Cedar and Festival casinos and Lake of Isles golf course. The $25 gas card giveaway for invited guests will commence 4-8 p.m. at Grand Pequot Ballroom.
Despite the power punch from Mother Nature, Foxwoods stayed on its feet.
"It's remarkable given the trying circumstances that we were able to give 5-star service to the guests that were here," one Foxwoods departmental manager said.
Today, it's business as usual. All the lucky guests need to do is find a gas station with power.

Blaq has some features that UberTwitter doesn't. You can check it out at allblaqeverything.com. Some of the features are pretty slick like being able to quick tweet from anywhere without having to pull up the menu. And it has been a lot friendlier on battery life for me. Besides the Midnight Theme is a blatant ripoff of Blaq's design.

Keeping the Faith
Collaborations between faith-based organizations and child welfare help kids in need
When youth from the foster care system visit the recreation center at Mariners Church for the first time, they usually enter in the same way: eyes cast down, feet shuffling along the floor, disengaged. Then, one of the volunteers from the congregation approaches and says with enthusiasm, "Hey, I'm so glad you're here! Join us for some pizza and a basketball game."
When they return to the church's monthly gatherings for youth in foster care, the same volunteers will greet them with the same enthusiasm. For kids in care, "when somebody shows they care, it is huge," observes Rhonda Sciortino, a member of Mariners, located in Orange County, California. "It just transforms them. You can just watch their energy change."
Sciortino can relate to the foster kids the church has connected with because she used to be one herself. She knows how isolated kids in care can become and how too many of the relationships that they develop are superficial. That is where faith communities can step in and make a difference. "I love the ministries where there is some regular, consistent involvement [with youth] from an outside person who is not getting paid," says Sciortino, who overcame growing up in an abusive home to eventually become a successful businesswoman and author. What made the difference for her, she says, was the handful of people in her life who looked her in the eyes and gave her some of her dignity back.
Connecting with and mentoring youth in care is just one of the many ways faith communities across the country are increasingly supporting children and families involved or at risk of becoming involved with local child welfare systems. Churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples are banding together to raise awareness about abused and neglected children in their communities who need homes. They are helping to recruit and train foster and adoptive parents and providing respite care and support groups for existing foster parents, adoptive parents, and people caring for kin. They are donating everything from blankets to backpacks for children in foster care, and providing housing and job training for youth leaving the system.
Children participate in learning activities at Mariners Church in Orange County.
Historically, religious groups founded and managed most orphanages in the United States. But as social policies and government-based child welfare systems formed during the early 20th century, faith-based efforts took much less of a central role in caring for children. Today, child welfare systems and organizations working with at-risk populations are circling back to faith communities and welcoming their support. With states now working toward mandates to keep children within their families and communities instead of in congregant care, the faith community is seen as a key player in this effort. Faith communities are lending their resources to help systems continue and enhance services for children and families, despite deep cuts to state and local budgets.
Christine James-Brown, CWLA's president and CEO, notes that two-thirds of the children in the child welfare system are being served in families and communities, yet there is not enough capacity in communities to support these children through such services as respite care for parents and kin, mentoring for at-risk youth, or available foster parents. "The faith-based community are key players in supporting these families," James-Brown says. "They have the confidence and trust of the people within their communities, and a lot of faith-based communities are doing interesting things to support children and families."
Faith in Motion in Orange County
Over the past few years, in addition to their foster youth group, members of Mariners Church in Orange County have been able to make a direct impact in the lives of children within the child welfare system through a mentoring program, summer camps, and a housing ministry that provides subsidized housing for youth emancipating from care. Some of the positive outcomes of the programs have included the recruitment of foster and adoptive parents directly from Mariners' congregation, as well as the reunification of siblings in care who have been placed in separate homes but who are able to see each other at Mariners' activities.
Sciortino recently attended a foster youth group meeting to talk about her own experiences in care. In the middle of her talk, two girls sitting on opposite sides of the room spotted each other, let out squeals of delight, and ran to embrace each other. They were sisters who had been placed in different foster homes and were seeing each other for the first time in months. "It was so beautiful to see those two connect to each other," Sciortino recalls.Mariners' efforts have been made possible through a partnership with the Orange County Social Services Department's Children and Family Services Division, which has identified and given permission to youth to participate in Mariners' ministries. About five years ago, the department developed an initiative called Faith in Motion as a way to directly collaborate with the faith communities in Orange County, such as Mariners, to recruit foster and adoptive families. Today, the department is actively working with about 65 congregations of all different faiths within the county.
"This has become our primary recruitment tool [for prospective foster and adoptive parents] through Faith in Motion," says Tricia Smith, program manager for Orange County's Foster and Adoptive Family Develop-ment Team. In fact, Smith adds, Faith in Motion has increased the number of licensed foster parents in the county, despite the Social Services Department operating under a tighter budget.
Using grant funds from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Orange County developed brochures and DVDs to distribute to congregations. They designated three senior social workers already on staff to work with the faith communities, and they organized an advisory council comprised of members from the faith communities to dictate goals for Faith in Motion. The overarching goal they came up with was for every child in Orange County to have a home. "It is great to see all these separate faith communities coming up with this goal and all actively working toward it," Smith says.
In addition to disseminating information about the need for foster and adoptive parents within their congregations, faith communities have worked through Faith in Motion to do such things as "adopt a social worker" to directly meet the needs of the children and families on that social worker's caseload. They've come together to fix up people's homes so that they can take in the children of relatives who need a residence. And they've held collection drives for backpacks, suitcases, blankets, hygiene kits, and gift cards for kids in care.
As a liaison for Mariners Church assigned to work with Faith in Motion, Sciortino says the initiative impresses her because, "It isn't about ideology at all. It's about getting people from the faith-based communities to be the hands and feet of God."
Faith communities have also opened their sanctuaries and other church buildings to Social Service Department-sponsored events that honor and celebrate foster and adoptive families. In addition to providing the space, the congregations have lent volunteers and food, ultimately saving the county money. "If we have a special need, somebody almost always comes forward to meet that need [from within the faith community]," says Gary Taylor, Director of the Children and Family Services Division.
Lynn Young, who works for Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, says Faith in Motion has been an "amazing partnership" that has built a bridge for Saddleback's congregation of 25,000 to become more directly involved with at-risk youth and children in care. Each month, the church sends volunteers to sponsor a playgroup at a local emergency shelter. They also host a monthly workshop, Skills for Life, for about 60 kids identified by social services to work on basic life skills such as relationship building, health care, work habits, and handling finances. "Every time we come back, the kids get a little more comfortable and share more about their lives and listen to us," Young says of Skills for Life.
Young has also seen the impact working at the emergency shelter can have. One teen approached her following a holiday party Saddleback hosted at the shelter and told Young it was the first time she'd seen her younger siblings smile while at the shelter. These simple activities can have a lasting impact on children, Young says, and if congregations are consistent in providing them, "it allows children to see churches in action and to see churches as people, not as buildings."
And vice versa, the activities have had a profound impact on the faith-based volunteers themselves, many of whom end up fostering and adopting the children they meet and work with. Young, who worked as a social worker for Orange County before becoming director of Saddleback's local Orphan Care program, has also been able to work through Faith in Motion to host and train prospective foster and adoptive parents at Saddleback on a regular basis. Additionally, the church hosts monthly seminars called "Thinking About Foster Care or Adoption" where people can get basic questions answered about fostering and adopting.
Down the road, Saddleback hopes to open a visitation center at the church where families involved with Orange County Social Services can regularly meet, as an alternative to meeting at the county offices. Bringing the families to the center would also introduce them to other ministries of the church, such as an addictions recovery program, Young says. All of Saddleback's activities have helped keep the issues surrounding child welfare front and center within the church and "it's really raised awareness that there are kids right in our own neighborhoods who need homes," she adds.
Partnerships Nationwide
The partnership in Orange County is just one example of how faith communities are mobilizing to meet child welfare needs. Some faith communities are taking specific targeted approaches to helping families. The Church of God in Christ (COGIC), for example, recently started a ministry called Urban Initiatives. One aspect of the ministry focuses on family life, particularly on strengthening the role of African-American males in the household.
According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, 24 million children in the United States are growing up today without a father in the home. To help combat this problem, COGIC, through a partnership with the National Fatherhood Initiative, is distributing resource materials about parenting to young fathers throughout its 12,000 churches. It is also implementing a mentoring program within its churches called Double Duty Dads, which encourages seasoned fathers to reach out to a child in their lives who needs guidance, such as a niece, nephew, or the friends of their children. These fathers are also encouraged to mentor other new fathers.
Ulish Booker, COGIC's vice president of families, says that from a biblical standpoint, COGIC's job is to reach out and touch the lives of people, and that from a practical standpoint, the church must be sensitive to the needs of the community and provide resources to help meet those needs. With Urban Initiatives currently being rolled out across COGIC's 12,000 churches, "It's got to have an impact in some shape or form," Booker says.
Nonprofit organizations focused on families are also drawing on faith-based communities for additional support and resources. Amachi, an organization based in Philadelphia and organized by former Philadelphia Mayor Rev. Dr. W. Wilson Goode, is a partnership of secular and faith-based organizations that provides mentoring to children of incarcerated parents. Amachi, which stands for a Nigerian Ibo word that means "who knows but what God has brought us through this child," is currently partnering with more than 6,000 churches in 48 states to serve at least 100,000 children.
In turning to the faith community to provide mentoring, Goode says, "We saw it as an untapped resource. We saw this as an extension of what many of them were already doing." Amachi volunteer mentors are asked to give at least one hour of their time each week, or four hours a month, for a year to a child. Amachi's surveys have shown that two-thirds of the children who participate will improve their grades and their behavior and attendance in school, and 90 percent will form better relationships with peers, siblings, and adults in their families.
The program, Goode says, is "transformational for the child and for the adult." Many of the mentors go on to adopt or become foster parents for the children.
Looking Ahead
CWLA recently organized a small gathering of leaders within the faith and child welfare communities--including Sciortino, Young, Taylor, Booker, and Goode--to hold a deep discussion about the pressures children and families are facing today in the child welfare system, how the faith-based community can play a greater role in helping them, and the kind of supporting resources CWLA can provide. "We need to see on an ongoing, consistent basis what the faith-based community can do, given that many families in need are sitting in their congregations," James-Brown says. "How do we give them the information and tools to be supportive of the people in their own congregations and then extend that to the rest of the community?"
CWLA staff are exploring ways to update CWLA's kinship care curriculum, PRIDE training materials, and fatherhood resources to include guidance for working with faith-based groups. James-Brown says another logical step is to have a larger meeting of groups to discuss the things they are doing around supporting a family-centered, community-based child welfare system.
Sciortino says she is working on a committee of Faith in Motion volunteers that is looking at creating a national movement of faith communities partnering with child welfare systems. Many groups across the country are doing good things or looking to expand what they are doing to help children and families, and she suspects many of them may be reinventing their own programs. She would love to see a centralized website where faith groups from around the country could share what they are doing to support children and families and give guidance to those groups that want to get started. People need "meaningful, measurable action steps," Sciortino says, and when given those steps, "everybody can do something."

On very short notice, UC architecture professor, Nnamdi Elleh, and his wife, Ann, stepped in to host a member of a visiting international delegation from Africa here on a Women in Justice program through the U.S. Department of State. What started out as an act of kindness ended up as a wonderful dinner, an unexpected connection, an enthusiasm for participating in similar programs in the future, and the formation of a new friendship.
Here's what Professor Elleh had to say about the experience:
Our evening with Adepeju Olaniyi was wonderful! We decided that we would shop for the ingredients for our dinner together. Imagine her surprise when we took her to a local Nigerian ethnic store. She was delighted to see people from Midwestern Nigeria, her part of the country, as owners/proprietors of the store, and she spent time speaking with the lady and her husband in her own Yoruba language.
We had a great time with her as we asked her to select what she would like to eat. She chose an ethnic dish for which we were able to find all the ingredients in the store. We returned to our house where we prepared it together, ate, and had a delightful evening before returning her back to the hotel. It was so rewarding for both of us and she is keeping in touch with our family.
Thanks for the introduction. We will be happy to help again. Being a foreign born U.S. National/US Citizen, I received many hospitalities as a student. Ann and I feel we are in the position to share our home with others who come our way.
These opportunities occur routinely as the Greater Cincinnati World Affairs Council (GCWAC) brings delegations to Cincinnati on a variety of sponsored programs. Serving as a host family, whether for an evening or for a week, is an enriching and unforgettable experience. We hope that faculty and staff of the university will consider taking advantage of these opportunities.

The tale of Catherine Evans Whitener is a familiar one around Northwest Georgia.
In the late 1800s, the young Dalton entrepreneur crafted hand-tufted chenille bedspreads that were sold all over the country. The cottage industry eventually led to the founding of the carpet industry.
An interesting and less publicized offshoot of the chenille industry is the popularity of garments made from the fabric: beach capes, boleros, dresses, jackets, kimonos, robes and more.
Ashley Callahan is telling that not-so-well-known story.
"The bedspreads to carpet story has been well documented and published, but the garment side of the industry receives only brief mentions," Callahan said. "Certainly there was not as much money in this part, but fashion goes out into the world in such a different way. You wouldn't wear your bedspread on the beach, but you can wear a patriot cape with a red, white and blue anchor motif. It's a chance to talk about chenille within the context of the history of American fashion: leisure wear, local design, etc."
The book's working title is "Southern Tufts: The Regional Origins and National Vogue for Chenille Fashion." It is scheduled for a 2015 release and will be published by The University of Georgia Press. Callahan believes it's the first book to focus on the history of the chenille fashion industry and the first to address chenille in-depth from a crafts/decorative arts viewpoint.
You could call the subject a natural fit for Callahan. She's a native of the Carpet Capital of the World and a 1992 graduate of Dalton High School. Callahan holds an art history degree from The University of the South and a degree from the Smithsonian masters program in the history of American decorative arts. After two years in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., as the curatorial intern at Cranbrook Art Museum, she returned to Georgia to be the first curator of decorative arts at the Georgia Museum of Art. She held that position from 2000 to 2008. Now, she is an independent scholar and a contributor to Ornament Magazine.
Callahan has spent time in her hometown researching the chenille fashion industry. In addition to interviewing those involved in the business or their descendants, she has dug through information at the Bandy Heritage Center at Dalton State College, the Carpet and Rug Institute and the Whitfield-Murray Historical Society's Crown Gardens and Archives. She has also relied on old newspaper stories and advertisements for chenille garments.
She has amassed many images of people at the beach in their chenille beach capes or children on Christmas morning wrapped in their chenille robes.
From her research, Callahan found chenille fashion dates to at least 1923 and the popularity tapered in the 1950s. There was a chenille fashion revival of sorts in the late 20th century when individuals began cutting up old bedspreads to make garments, she said.
She is interested in seeing more chenille garments or materials related to companies and the individuals that made them.
You can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ashley Callahan, c/o J. Mike Brown, P.O. Box 30722, Dalton, GA 30722. You can also read more about the chenille fashion industry at facebook.com/chenillefashion and view garment photos at http://chenillefashion.tumblr.com.

Regarding news last week that approximately 30 unaccompanied minors from Central America, who had crossed the southern border into the United States, were sent without warning to Dalton last year and enrolled in Dalton Public Schools, Republican politicians representing portions of Murray and Whitfield Counties agree — state and local school officials deserved to know in advance, they say.

I gave this recipe 3 stars for taste only, I am an experienced baker, cakes are my specialty. This roll cracked in several places despite rolling it and unrolling while cooling it as I do every roll I make. I also wonder why the originator posted that it takes 2 hours?? No way it takes that long. I had no fears going into this recipe except for the fact that the cake portion is most definitely not sponge cake which is what most easy/successful cake rolls are. I am still seriously doubting that this recipe needs baking soda, I think perhaps a change to powder might be in order as well as a change in the leavening{eggs} to produce more of a sponge. I will be working with this idea of producing a better pumpkin roll, I will be using my own cake roll recipe as a base as it starts with a sponge cake and has never cracked and I've made 100s of them. I'll post it when I get it perfect, until then look for my cake roll recipe, it's so good and so easy.
Michigan Mommy
Oh wow this was wonderful! Among pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and choclate cherry cheesecake, this Pumpkin Roll was everyone's favorite dessert this Thanksgiving. I too loved it and the filling is so yummy, I was scraping the bowl to get it all! ~~~~ I forgot to add the walnuts to the cake so I just tossed them in the filling and that was perfect, I think I will do that next time also. The filling is not too sweet, just right! I got so many compliments. My one suggestion is use a lot of powdered sugar when dusting your cloth before rolling. I skimped a little on the edges and my roll was almost stuck!! But it came out just fine and was really easy to do. I put my roll right in the freezer for about an hour to let it set up and then stored it in the fridge until serving, wrapped tightly in non-stick aluuminum foil. Yummy, easy, beautiful, and quick, what else could you want?!?
Miss Kate
I tasted the roll right after I made it and thought it was a bit too sweet and a little dry. But after chilling it overnight, is was moist and very good! The chilling is mandatory before serving to guests. I added 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice.

If the 2012 Presidential and US Senate elections were held today, President Barack Obama and former Gov. Tommy Thompson would win in Wisconsin.
The results were released today as part of the Marquette University Law School poll project during "On the Issues" with Mike Gousha and Professor Charles Franklin.
According to the numbers, Obama leads presumed Republican challenger Mitt Romney 49 to 43 percent, down from 51 to 43 percent on May 30.
In a match-up against both his Republican senate rivals and Democrat Tammy Baldwin, Thompson takes both races. Against former US Rep. Mark Neumann, newcomer Eric Hovde, and Republican speaker of the State Assembly Jeff Fitzgerald, Thompson comes in with 34 percent of support from likely voters compared to 16, 14, and 10 percent, respectively. Against Baldwin, he leads 49 to 41 percent.
When matched up against Hovde and Fitzgerald, Baldwin comes out ahead; 45 to 36 percent and 45 to 39 percent, respectively. Baldwin and Neumann tie at 44 percent each.
Unlike the recent historic recalls where undecided voters were less than five percent, when it comes to the US senate race here, a full 25 percent of likely voters haven't made up their minds, but it is early going.
About those recalls ...
Speaking of the recall elections, the poll also asked some 707 registered voters - 594 likely voters - how they felt about the elections now that they're over.
When it comes to how Wisconsin should do recall elections, voters have flipped from responses recorded in January. Then, 43 percent said recalls should only happen in the case of criminal activity while an official is in office and 50 percent said our way of doing recall is just fine. Now, though, it's the other way around; 50 percent want recalls only in the case of criminal mischief and 44 percent want to leave the law as it is.
Not surprisingly, Gov. Scott Walker garnered 70 percent of the vote for those who want to limit recalls while Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barret grabbed 61 percent of those who think the way we do recalls is just fine. Among those who disapprove of the job he's doing, Walker also managed to snag 4 percent of voters who don't want changes to recall and 8 percent of voters who do want changes.
Where the poll gets interesting is among those who didn't cast a ballot at all but disapprove of Walker and want recall limits, about 26 percent. That number gets halved - 13 percent - among those who didn't vote while continuing to disapprove of Walker and supporting the current recall laws.
Can't we all just get along?
Representatives in Madison and in Washington, D.C. may want to pay attention to how voters feel about all the partisanship games being played on the state and federal levels.
According to Marquette's latest poll, a full 84 percent of voters want officials on both sides of the aisle reaching across it more often. Only 11 percent said it was perfectly okay for the parties to stand for different things and have limited cooperation.
Just over half - 55 percent - of those surveyed were optimistic about the possibility of cooperation while 41 percent said it's too out of reach. Among those who feel like bipartisanship can be a reality, a full 61 percent of them identified as Republicans while 58 percent of Independents and 48 percent of Democrats could agree.
Healthcare reform
The United States Supreme Court is going to issue its opinion soon about whether or not Pres. Obama's healthcare law is constitutional so Marquette asked voters what they think.
Around a third of voters - 33 percent - think the high court should leave the law alone, but 38 percent want the entire thing turned over. Only 19 percent said the part of the law mandating individuals have insurance should be overturned.
Overall, the majority of voters approve of the job SCOTUS is doing over those who disapprove; 46 to 35 percent.
The Marquette poll was conducted via landline and cell phone from June 13-16, 2012 with a 3.8 percent margin of error.

Wood House in Rockridge
Wood House, the new restaurant in Grasshopper's former location (College Ave. and Alcatraz), is set to open this Saturday, according to a note on the front door. No menu is posted yet.
I won't make it there this weekend, but hopefully some hounds will check it out and report back.
re: Lori SF
Exact address. Website doesn't work yet.
6317 College Avenue
Oakland, CA 94620
(510) 654-6607
Wood House is way cool and the food is good too. I had one each of their paninis and both the mushroom and the prosciutto fillings were perfect. The salad and homemade crunchy pickles also helped.The atmosphere is especially nice, a bistro with warmth ( flowing from the owners and staff) and a serene, low key color scheme. Not too noisy even during the crowded lunchtime. I hope they flourish as they serve the best new food on the College Avenue corridor.
re: kate kline may
re: Morton the Mousse
Went for lunch today -- prices for lunch are pretty reasonable, the pressed sandwich was $9 (for lunch it had goat cheese and proscuitto), the burger was $10, and that was about average. They have Fra'mani salami and Niman Ranch meat, but there was nothing on the menu about where the rest of their meat is sourced. I'm still a little unclear on the name -- the sign outside said Wood House, but all of the menus said Wood Tavern, so I think they might have switched names between putting the sign outside and opening. Very inviting interior, and very friendly service. I had the pressed sandwich, and it was good, although it was a little difficult to eat. The fries were fantastic.
Ate at Wood House last Monday evening and it's a great change from Grasshopper at the same location. The food was magnificent BUT two of us ordered the lemon cream puffs, which are always recommended in reviews. They were terrible - the pate choux like cardboard with hardly any lemon cream inside. My recommendation - order anything on the menua but the lemon cream puffs!
We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. They stop serving at 5 p.m., which seems wierd to me. Ordered the burger with mushrooms and swiss, and the chicken cheddar BBQ sandwich. They did not have any regular mushrooms, but happily threw on a portobello for us. The sandwiches come on a roll, which I don't like, so they substituted a hamburger roll for me. DH liked the shoestring fries, my slaw was dry and too herbal. They only have 4 beers on tap so far, so we both had hefeweizen. The food was good, not great, and seemed spendy for a neighborhood place. The menu was also limited, but that may be a function of Sunday afternoon.
I ate dinner there during the first week they were open and found the staff to be extremely friendly and accomodating. The shoestring fries were too salty - I told them and they whisked them away and brought more that were great! The burger was Nieman Ranch and quite tasty. I wasn't as hot on the warm chocolate cake - I prefer one that isn't quite so sweet...

[RECRUIT][USW][USE] New competitive team looking to enter the tournament scene (self.compDota2)
submitted 1 year ago * by [deleted]
I've wanted to get into the tournament scene for a while now, but have had trouble finding a group of players with a similarly competitive mindset. Many of the threads on this subreddit seem to be for more casual play, but this is not one of them. My short term goal is to enter tournaments in the upcoming months and build up additional experience against some of NA's best. In the long term, I hope to break into the pro/semi-pro scene. I may fall short, but the only way to know for sure is to give it a shot.
As far as what I'm looking for, no hero positions are set in stone. Roles 1-5 are open to whichever player is best suited. Players are expected to have a high understanding of each hero role, regardless of role preference. I don't expect to find a full permanent team with this thread alone, but it's a start.
Fluent in English
Very High bracket w/ 400+ wins >50% winrate
Microphone (will use Skype at first, but that can be worked out once there's a final roster)
Team practice/scrims 10+ hours/week. Mon-Thur 10:30pm-12:30am CST. Practice schedule can be worked out once there is a full roster. Fri-Sun play it by ear, hopefully at least 1-3 team games per day. I understand that people have lives and can't necessarily spend all weekend on Dota.
Keep raging to a bare minimum
Tryouts will be hosted throughout the week (March 4-8), Mon/Thurs @8pm - 12am, Tues/Wed/Fri @10:30pm-1am.

Arthritis associated with inflammatory bowel disease
Besides the symptoms of IBD on the intestinal tract (such as bloody diarrhea, crampy abdominal pain and fever), people with the arthritis of IBD have pain, swelling, stiffness (particularly in the morning) in those joints that are inflamed. Symptoms tend to vary over time, sometimes better, sometimes worse. Often, but not always, the joint symptoms correlate with the bowel symptoms; that is, the joints tend to be more painful and swollen when the gastrointestinal symptoms are worse. Common complaints include low back pain that is worse in the morning and better when you exercise, limited joint motion and gelling, which means becoming more stiffness after not moving around much.
