Love The Shadows, Kiskaloo is Back !!
Hi Chris, Outstanding strip (as always).
my library is just rife with the same dramatic lighting!
He's so scarry on last panel Greetings from Poland.
I was expecting her to be really mad, but it looks like she just didn't care about that hit and explained a bit what it is. lol.
I love that last Panel, though, even if he's not reading something about Kayaking.
Brilliant, its brilliant I tell you.
Bring on the Ogo mechandise.
Thanks for keeping Kiskaloo alive! I love the poor little cat
stitch: the funny thing about being hit on the head with a paddle is sometimes you don't remember everything clearly.
you – are – a – genius !!!! *O*
I love this comic. Keep it up!
jeremythedog: Funny thing is, I was kinda wondering if she lost her memory by that hit, and that Ogo would take advantage of that.
Sorry for double submitting; but is there some kind of limit on how much to post in the comments? Because when I make long comments, I have to very shortening it to allow submitting.
Brilliant as always

Hi I'm just wondering if any of you know where I can purchase some 'pretty' girls shoes to fit over AFO's. I've been really lucky up till now finding pretty girly type shoes but Leacie is about to get new AFO's and the shoes she's wearing are the biggest they have. I really don't want gianormous clumping joggers to go with all her pretty dresses.
I've seen a shoe they call 'Hatchbacks' on the net but haven't been able to find anyone in Oz who supplies them. They're such a fantastic idea and would save on having to go 2 sizes up.

Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Spring is here and often we dismiss coughing and congestion... as allergies. But that may not be the case.
In the central part of Colorado Springs, Dr. Tom Bartlett with Mountain View Medical Group says he's seeing a lot of viral bronchitis lately.
Here's what the symptoms look like: You'll notice a fever, a non-productive cough and nasal-sinus congestion.
So what do you do? The good news is you can do a lot with Tylenol or ibuprofen and some cough medicine. But if you start wheezing, it's time to see the doctor for steroids.

Hmmm... Fiddled with the NVidia settings?
Any performance issues so far on minecraft? Your GPU isn't up to speed for Minecraft, so optimus or not, the FPS would still be quite above average no matter what setting you'll try. Only a minor improvement would be gained. Been testing MC 1.4.7 and I've got only 50fps at most with Optifine on my MSI laptop.

Been reading the manual to my new game and was reminiscing how the original Gears has versus modes, so it made me think: couldn't two teams choose back and forth AI Group cards on a fully constructed map, mission being to kill each other player's red figurine?
Has someone else thought of similar versus modes?
"Some said the thunder called the lurking fear out of its habitation, while others said the thunder was its voice."
H.P. Lovecraft, The Lurking Fear

Test played with my friends last night the same versus scenario I presented. Both were just 1v1 games. First, the two of us received three tiles each to build a map from the location deck at random, putting the first two tiles of his and mine with arrow-sides together, as exactly done in Belly of the Beast setup. Then we rolled an attack die till one of us got a Gear symbol. The winner selects his COG as usual, and then opponent selects from remaining three. Then Locust cards are presented for choosing, exempting Berserker (not playable). Those cards that use the same figurine are paired together, and when chosen the player must declare which he will use for the match exclusively (i.e. Wretch or Lambent Wretch, Kantus or Skorge [limit 1 Kantus figurine], Boomer or Grinder). Winner chooses first Locust he wants, and opponent chooses the next Locust, until none are left. This makes 1 COG and 3 Locust cards for each player. Then both sides collect their AI cards for their Locusts and their figurines. Each player then shuffles their cards and keeps their own AI decks. They trigger their own AI decks at end of turn, spawning alongside their COG rather than their opponent. The objective is to kill the opposing COG to win. No other AI cards are added to these decks, and any AI cards that say would affect a COG must instead affect enemy Locusts as if they were COGs. Each COG is placed on his entrance tile. The winner of the die roll goes first.
Dig In works with allied Locusts; the extra defense die disappears on YOUR next order step (it stays for one complete round). Sit-Tight only acts as card draw; ignore its Locust AI step that it deactivates.
COGs may be chainsawed. COGs may be interuppted by their opponent via a Guard attack action.
If a Kantus would resurrect an ammo token of your opponent's (i.e. they just got a figure back against you), then you may resolve its Otherwise ability instead. Be sure to acknowledge if the Locust you have chosen drops a weapon or not (ex. Grinders do not).
Play each COG in 1v1 with solo play rules.
This version is also capable of 2v2. Follow regular multi-player rules.
Any other rules to be added use at your own judgment.
I played a second time with another friend on a smaller map (2 location cards for each). I preferred the second way, though he wished for a larger map like the first game. My problem with the larger one is it slows the game down a lot and has potential for opponents to really run further away, dragging the game on.
Lastly, my friends said they both enjoyed it (one saying it was obsolete to regular game). He further said he would like to see Capture the Flag using the lock tokens, 3 and 4 player battle-royal, and King of the Hill match with the Berserker on the hill. I will try to make variants for these in the future.
Comments? Criticisms?
"Some said the thunder called the lurking fear out of its habitation, while others said the thunder was its voice."
H.P. Lovecraft, The Lurking Fear
One last thing: your AI attacks enemy locusts and opposing COGs as if they were COGs. Your Locusts ignore you as if you were bleeding out. If your AI happens to be equal distance between two enemy locusts, or one enemy locust and the opposing COG, you choose who your locust attacks, not your opponent.
Also exploration activation does occur on the map. Follow normal exploration activation rules.

Being a huge gears fan i have a versus mode variant i am looking for 6 more players to play online at boardgamegeek.com im onimike at the site and have varies of rule sets for different actions which give you an actual gears feeling come check it out.
Today I made up a versus mode of my own that follows the rules of the Gow Warzone versus mode, the 4-on-4 match. These are my rules:
Gears of War
The Board Game
Versus Mode
Description: A versus variation game type for two to eight players split into two teams evenly (COGs and Locust).
Objective: Kill opposing players in order to score the number of points decided by the players at the beginning of the game.
Set -Up:
Shuffle the Order card deck and place it in the playing area. Then shuffle the three grenade weapon cards into the Random Weapons deck and place it in the playing area.
All players then organize themselves into two teams and choose their character. The COG players individually choose one of the four figures (all characters are identical in ability because no character card abilities or weapon load-outs are used). Then each Locust player chooses a different Locust figure in order to designate who is who. Players then take the COG or Locust character card to match their figure.
Note: Cards are used solely for identification purposes, no abilities, weapons, or traits stated on the cards effect the game in any way.
Then give each character one pistol, and one assault rifle or Gnasher Shotgun. One character may be forced to use the shotgun if eight people are playing. The COGs are dealt the Lancer Assault Rifle or Gnasher Shotgun, and the Snub Pistol. The Locust are dealt the Gorgon Pistol, and the Hammerburst Assault Rifle.
Optional: Players may choose their own load-out. To do so, all players roll a six-sided die to decide choosing order. They are then dealt two ammo tokens per weapon.
Then divide the map cards into two separate decks, A and B, according to their map letter. All players then decide whether the map will be day or night (A being day and B, night) either collectively or by coin toss. Shuffle the chosen deck, draw five map cards, and place the map tiles in the order drawn. One team then places their figures on the entrance of the map and the other team places their figures on the exit of the final tile.
Optional: For a more balanced board play tile 17 first with the side up based on the map deck chosen and then drawn only four more map cards. Play tile 17 as the third map tile then continue as normal.
Flip a coin to decide which team goes first, then in each team a six-sided die is rolled to determine the order in which the players will take their turns within their own team.
All players then draw three order cards. Players may hold up to four Order cards.
The order of play follows as such: player one of the first team takes his turn followed by player one of team two. Then player two of team one and so forth.
On your turn:
Follow game rules as normal except that players only draw one card on their turn.
Map Equipment Areas:
When a character activates an area with an Equipment icon, he draws one Random Weapon card. The player then either claims the weapon with two ammo tokens (if the Bolo Grenade is drawn, the player receives a grenade token and places it on his player card and the grenade card is placed at the bottom of the weapons deck) or places the card face down next to the map tile. If the player chooses not to claim the weapon, the next player to activate the Equipment icon picks up the weapon card from the tile instead of drawing from the deck.
Defense, Wounds, and Bleeding Out:
All characters have a base defense of one die. Normal cover rules apply and Dodge abilities may be used. Characters are dealt wounds as per normal rules. If a character runs out of cards, he is bleeding out.
A bleeding out character can be executed if attacked by an opponent in the same area as him. Neither player rolls for an execution however; an ally may play a Guard reaction ability card on the attacker.
Winning the Game:
When a single team reaches the decided score limit that team has won the match. If there is a tie then whichever team scores next wins.
If subsequent matches are played in a best-out-of-three manner, the teams swap starting locations.
For fun, keep a record of kills, downs, and deaths!
Tested it for 1v1 and it works like a charm.

Margaret River Agricultural Show: This marvellous event, which has operated since 1929, showcases the rural activities which have been the fabric of this society since the region was first settled. Sheep dog trials, equestrian events and cattle judging add to the colourful spectacle; and the locals are out in force displaying a wide range of rural produce. Held on the 18th and 19th of October at Gloucester Park, the Margaret River Agricultural Show is a must see event. Margaret River Gourmet Escape: Get in early and book your accommodation for this fabulous weekend which, in 2013, will run from Friday 22 to Sunday 24 November. Judging by the success of the inaugural event in 2012, this will be another smashing weekend of fun, food tasting, cooking shows, theatre events and special dinners. To keep abreast of all that's happening, we recommend you visit www.gourmetescape.com.au and subscribe to the newsletter. Your visit could be even more enjoyable if coupled with one of the many events which are on offer - particularly between October and April. We'll do our best to keep you informed! |

To the 2012 Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Weekend held July 20 to 22 in Cooperstown.
A ceremony on Sunday enshrined Barry Larkin, a former shortstop for the Cincinnati Reds, and the late third baseman Ron Santo, a standout for the Chicago Cubs.
While the ceremony was the highlight of the weekend, there were programs all weekend long for baseball fans.
Friday featured Ozzie Smith's "PLAY Ball," where fans were able to interact with Smith and other former major leaguers. The event raised money for the Hall of Fame and Museum's education program.
On Saturday, Tim McCarver was presented with the Ford C. Frick Award for broadcast excellence, and Bob Elliott received the J.G. Taylor Spink Award for writers. Hall of Famers Phil Niekro and Bert Blyleven took part in a game show that paired them with a fan, with a chance for the fan to win a lifetime membership to the Hall. Also on Saturday was an event at the Fenimore Art Museum that honored the life of Santo, who died in 2010.
The highlight of Saturday for many fans was the Parade of Legends, where thousands lined Main Street to get a chance to see dozens of Hall of Fame members.
Organizers said about 18,000 folks were in Cooperstown to see the Induction Ceremony.
Too often, those of us who live here forget what a treasure we have in our backyard. We thank everyone involved for putting on a great show and reminding us how important America's pastime is to so many.
To the availability of farmers' market coupons for eligible seniors.
The coupons are provided through the federal Farmers Market Nutrition Program, a federal program sponsored by the state Department of Agriculture and Markets, Department of Health and Office for the Aging, as well as Cornell Cooperative Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service.
Delaware County Office for the Aging is offering booklets of coupons worth $20 for use at farmers' markets in the county.
Eligible households include those with someone 60 or older receiving or eligible for SSI, public assistance or Section 8 housing benefits.
This is a wonderful program. It helps provide fresh produce to seniors and gives local vendors more customers.
To the free rabies vaccination clinics held throughout the region by local counties' Public Health departments.
At a recent clinic in Morris, about 275 animals received free vaccinations, a larger-than-average turnout, according to officials.
So far this year, a six animals in Otsego County have tested positive for rabies, a deadly viral disease that spreads in mammals through the bite of an infected animal.
"Vaccinating your pet protects them _ but ultimately it also protects you and your family," Otsego County Public Health Nurse Peggy Benjamin said.
We agree. We encourage local pet owners to take advantage of this resource.

Engaging customers online requires more than just being on the same social networks they are on. You first need to determine what your goals are for social media, how to measure the success of those goals, what tactics to use in your plan, and how to execute that plan.

SooJin Kim's curator insight,
May 5, 6:40 AM
In today's market, social media has become an essential factor of building a business strategy. It is very important that we approach and engage customers through social sites. In the beginning of this article, it shows that a successful social media strategy depends on establishing a sound business goal. Goals must be defined clearly to utilize the appropriate social media in achieving the business goal. After the goals are set, it is also important to define the metrics and tactics. This is because these will measure whether the social media efforts are creating consideration and conversions with the target audience. Through this process, companies can evaluate and measure success and failures, and prepare for a better business strategy to succeed in social media.
kevin bang's comment,
May 9, 3:19 AM
I agree with your insight Soojin. Firms need to take social sites like Facebook or Twitter into account as many of their potential customers are most likely to use either one of them. It is hard to get people to engage with your product in any other way nowadays. Utilizing such approach is a good way of getting people to know what you're selling.

An "encounter" between Jay Baer and Guy Kawasaki ... really interesting and it gives to reflect on the social media world. [note mg] Is Social media strategy required for all business? Or can you just get started? Jay Baer examines social media strategy and provides a social media ROI lesson. I don't have a problem with Guy Kawasaki. I enjoy his books. His track record in business is substantial. We have friends in common. But on the subject of social media strategy, we disagree in every possible way.

Two infographics provide data and tips to explain why brands must leverage visual social media in 2013 to stay relevant and grow. Today, the marketing world is still hot on the social media marketing trail, but the trail has diverged. There are different paths with cheerleaders along the way no matter which path a marketer follows. Ideally, marketers should find the path down the middle that marries all of the elements of social media marketing, but most are not there yet. Many of today's marketers are still choosing a single path to focus on or jumping back and forth. For example, those paths include the data and metrics focus, the storytelling focus, the visual focus, and more. This article hones in on the visual focus with the help of two great infographics that visually share the data and tell the story of visual storytelling... Via Lauren Moss, michel verstrepen

Leerzame infografiek over het gedrag van consumenten online en hoe (klein - middelgroot - groot) bedrijven daar mee omgaan. Het managen van social media is kennelijk nog steeds een kwestie. Meest opvallende stijger is Instagram, dat door het mobiel delen van foto's deel uitmaakt van de grote visualisering van het web. Hoewel het moeilijk te geloven is met een upload volume van, naar verluidt, 72 uur video per minuut, las ik ook voorspellingen dat video dit jaar nog 'groter' gaat worden. Onderaan staan trouwens de links naar een aantal goede bronnen voor dit soort info

I chose this infographic and article from Blackbaud because it helps you go from social media to social business. It was written for non-profits but it definitely applies to any business as well. By understanding how to evaluate people by their degree of influence and their ability to help change behavior in others can be invaluable to you and your organization. **It's also important to use this information to understand how you and your organization fit into this mix. They say knowledge is power, once you have a clearer picture, you can shift what you're doing and take your business or cause to the next level for greater results. Intro: "Understanding the Value of Your Social Media Influencers: How to Identify and Empower Those Who Can Engage an Entire Community! (Download the White Paper Today!)" Here are some highlights: **Learn how to use the information your consitiuents are sharing to attract more people to your mission, campaign. **Learn how to analyze your database and assign social scores to engagers that represents their ability to interact with and influence others across their online networks **Based on the social score you assign to these individuals, you can then segment them into one of four categories, each of which plays a diferent role on social networks, relevant to your business Here are the categories: Key Influencers - They have a powerful impact not only the people they know but also others they don't know. Their posts are widely spread and shared by more people than many other people art Engagers - These people have well-established social networks and are strong influencers of people they know personally Multichannel Consumers - They enjoy keeping up with social media conent and occasionally participate. Their influence is not a dominent part of their persona Standard Consumers These engagers read and watc updates more than they create new content or make comments. They are more influenced by family and friends.

Fleetwood Mac? reunion tour starts in April. If Prince and McCartney can do it...
Stevie Nicks has confirmed that Fleetwood Mac will embark on a reunion tour from April next year.
The band behind iconic 1977 album 'Rumours' put an end to months of speculation by confirming their reunion, with Nicks also revealing the band are in talks about recording new music to coincide with the live dates.
Speaking to ABC News Radio, Nicks said: "We go into rehearsals somewhere around the end of February. So... if everything goes to plan, we should probably be out [on the road] by end of April [or] May, I would think."
Nicks added that the reunited group are working on new music, though nothing is official yet.Well, actually, maybe like two songs, maybe four, who knows? We don't really know yet 'cos we're not in the world of Fleetwood Mac yet. We're just still in talks about that.
Fleetwood Mac are one of a number of names rumoured to be headlining Glastonbury when the festival returns. Speaking to NME about the rumours, festival organiser Emily Eavis said: "I think Fleetwood Mac would be amazing to get, Ill be totally honest we havent had any conversations with them yet but, you know, it is still early days. Were just talking to some headliners now. For us its about getting the balance of heritage bands, legends and new bands just keeping that balance."

Tomorrow kicks off the TEST phase of a project I'm tentatively calling "Old Man On Campus".
Assuming I don't want to kill myself by the time the eighteen weeks are over at SUNY Potsdam, and I'm confident that in the Fall I can function as a thirty-year-old doing all the things an eighteen-year-old would be doing at college for the first time, then we'll move into the actual project.
And of course, we'll see if there's a book in there somewhere.
A couple of guys have mentioned that I should pitch it as a reality show too, or a documentary, but I'm on the fence about it. If someone can make a compelling case for it, I'm willing to listen, but I feel like the cameras and the artificialness of a reality show would make it a pain in the ass to answer the question at the heart of the project: What's it like for a thirty-year-old to go through the undergraduate experience?
If people see cameras, they'll get weird or act differently, and than you're not really getting an honest answer to that question because then what I'm doing just becomes a sequel to "Tommy Lee Goes To College".
And who wants that?
(Note: I don't assume people will read this blog as I document things or follow me on Twitter because 1) I'm not going to mention it and 2) Even if people come across the blog / Twitter feed, it's going to be a tiny group of people, comparatively speaking. So it's not like walking around campus with a camera crew.)
Why SUNY Potsdam?
1. Like I mention in Social Media Is Bullshit, you should always have a Plan B. Lucky for me, I just have one semester left there to complete a Master's in Organizational Technology, Performance, and Leadership.
My Plan B is that at the end of the eighteen weeks, if the book doesn't do well, I'll have a Master's. So worse case scenario, I'll unplug from the Internet like I've been threatening to do for three years now, I'll tip my hat to all of you, and then I'll go back into the world of working with college students.
Life goes on …
To be clear: I'm not thinking that's how things are going to go down this Fall. I think the book is going to do very well, and the Master's gives me flexibility to go and do interviews and speeches, so I don't want you to think I'm going to Potsdam because I think the worst. That's not the case. You should always try to get into situations that give you the most advantages. Strategically (I gagged just now writing that), Potsdam made the most sense because I could cover all my bases and still do the things I need to do to make the book successful.
2. When I was at SUNY Potsdam the first time around ('04 to '07), and I was doing all this stupid shit with being part of the campus paper, the radio station, appearing weekly on public access TV, getting interviewed and featured in the local press, people (mostly) didn't give a shit.
I got a lot of strange looks, but I never felt like it was a problem. Nobody acted weird or differently around me, and I generally got left alone to do my thing.
So if I'm going to see if I can even do this, that's a good environment to be in.
So, Let's Kick Off "Old Man On Campus" With A Weigh-In
1. I'm 29, recently divorced (separated in May, officially divorced as of August), and everything I own can fit comfortably in a large cardboard box.
2. I just bought a bunch of cheap bullshit at Target for my dorm room. I'll take some pictures and post them somewhere. Maybe Google+? (LOL. Nobody uses Google+)
3.Pretty much all the friends I have are Internet friends. This is what happens when you get married. You lose all your friends and they get replaced with married friends. And then when you get divorced, your married friends don't want you around.
So, I'm pretty much alone, which is weird for me because I've never actually been alone.
4. I weigh 160 pounds. Mostly because I have a couple of heart conditions, but also because I have a wheat allergy and I'm lactose intolerant. Oh, and I have a sensitive stomach on top of all that, so finding stuff I can eat that won't make me sick is an exercise in frustration and hilarity.
(You'll hear me mention this a lot, but I'm convinced I won the genetic lottery. More on that later.)
5. I wanted to do a "Mental Health" check before I did this, both therapists said everything is good, some misplaced agression that I direct at other people for stuff my parents did not withstanding. They also told me I should start dating again, but I've never actually dated. Girls would just tell me they like me and off we went.
So, when it comes to dating, I'm not only terrified, I'm functionally retarded too.
6. Physically though, I'm fine. Those heart conditions won't kill me. They're just really annoying. I can do everything you can. Probably better.
7. A friend of my ex-wife passed away this Summer after contracting meningitis at Cornell University. It was very sad, and being the neurotic Jew that I am, I am now terrified of contracting meningitis while living in the dorm, either at Potsdam or where ever I actually do "Old Man On Campus".
So, I will be arming myself with Lysol and Clorox wipes. You're welcome.
8. No. You can't know where I live on campus. It's easy to figure out, and if you do, please don't be a dick and post that information online. I have a roommate, and all because my life is more or less an open book, that doesn't mean his is, you know?
9. I don't have any goals or expectations for the next eighteen weeks beyond, "I really hope my book does well". The odds are, I'll be at the library working on book stuff and promoting it. You can bother me there.
P.S. Apparently there's no way to get a landline if you're a student at SUNY Potsdam. So if you see me kind of stumbling around on campus, I'm not drunk (I don't drink because of the wheat allergy), I'm just trying to get a signal.
10. Finally, this is supposed to be fun. I won't keep most things from you in the hopes that you'll get a good laugh out of it. But. Names and other details might get altered to keep me from getting sued.
Ok. The packing begins now …

As we journey together through Lent, Christians throughout Columbia will be sharing their own beautifully written personal meditations. Each will be accompanied by a corresponding scripture reading, and be linked to that passage in the Holy Bible. If you would like to join us on Columbia's Lenten journey, please submit your personal meditation by email. Especially meaningful submissions will be printed. Let us continue our Lenten journey, day by day, to its glorious culmination on Easter Sunday.
Scripture reading: John 8:33-47
"The truth will set you free." How many times have we heard that saying? We of logical mind try to define the truth in many ways. It sounds simple but is definitely very complicated. Those who profess psychology today tell us that our logical minds set up what we believe to be the truth. It's as if we look at life in two dimensions. We choose one side of an issue and believe in it. This helps us to define our world.
Jesus tells us that He, God, is the Truth and we can be set free by being sinless. He states that anyone practicing sin is a slave to that sin. Jesus frees us from sin, which allows us to be what God intended.
In this passage the elders did not listen. Satan used their minds to enslave them and keep them from the truth. They were so entranced by their own logical beliefs that they were not open to the truth. They were so steeped in their tradition they were blinded to the truth. They scrutinized Jesus but could find no wrong. He was the only perfect example of sinlessness.
We all question Jesus' word to make a logical world for us to live in. That is only human, or perhaps Satan's temptation to do this. Jesus was put her to free us from our sinful ways. We challenge Him and don't trust His answer. He is offering us freedom, for Jesus the power to do this. For those who choose freedom, Christ forgives their sins. As we go through Lent, let us open ourselves to Jesus'' blessing and feel the freedom.

200 Educators to Attend 3Day Forum
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The United States Holocaust Museum, in cooperation with the University of Texas at Dallas, and the Dallas Holocaust Memorial Center, will present "Teaching About the Holocaust," a three-day educational forum for 200 Dallas-Fort Worth-area practicing and pre-service educators. The Forum will equip Dallas-Fort-Worth-area teachers with the knowledge and resources to effectively bring Holocaust education into their classrooms. The Forum will be held from January 13-15, 2005 at the University of Texas, Dallas campu.
Teachers will explore methodologies for effectively introducing students to this complex history and demonstrating to them its continuing relevance in today's world. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to speak with curators at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Oswiecim, Poland, via a live distance-learning connection.
Other Forum speakers will include:
- Bernat Rosner and Frederic Tubach, authors of An Uncommon Friendship: From Opposite Sides of the Holocaust. Mr. Rosner is a Hungarian-born Holocaust survivor; Mr. Tubach is the son of a Nazi officer.
- Jerry Fowler, Director, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's Committee on Conscience. The COC monitors situations of contemporary genocide and crimes against humanity. The COC has issued a Genocide Emergency for Darfur, and Fowler has visited Darfurian refugee camps in Chad.
- Dr. Zsuzsanna Ozsvath, Professor of Literature at the University of Texas, Dallas.
- Alexandra Zapruder, editor of Salvaged Pages: Young Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust.
- Barry van Driel, educator, Anne Frank House, Amsterdam.
- Holocaust Survivors Nesse Godin and Henry Greenbaum.
"Dallas educators will have the opportunity to interact with Holocaust survivors, educators and human rights experts from all over the globe," states Stephen Feinberg, the Museum's Director of National Outreach. "They will also learn how to access local, national and international resources to enhance their Holocaust education curriculums and make this history more accessible to their students.
A complete conference schedule is available. Please contact Andrew Hollinger in the Museum's Media Relations Department at 202-488-6133 or email@example.com if you would like to attend the Forum or speak with organizers or participants.
As part of its national outreach efforts, the Museum's Education Division offers programs for educators of all levels of Holocaust education experience. The Museum organizes Educational Forums and Conferences across the country. This is the second Forum for Dallas-area educators. Each summer, the Museum hosts two, three-day Belfer Conferences for Holocaust educators and the Museum Teacher Fellowship program, an intensive, five-day workshop for educators with at least five years of experience teaching Holocaust studies. In addition, the Museum hosts teacher training workshops across the country throughout the year.
A public-private partnership, the Museum is a Federal institution whose educational activities and outreach are made possible through private donations. More than 250,000 individuals, foundations and corporations helped build the institution and currently support its programs and operations. For more information, visit www.ushmm.org.
The January 13-15 Forum is made possible by the Dallas-Fort Worth-Area Friends of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Residents of San Lucas Avenue have succeeded in getting PG&E to meet with them as a group to discuss the utility company's plan to strip their backyards of trees and other landscaping. The meeting between PG&E officials and residents is set for Oct. 2 at 7 p.m. in the city library.

These two high pressure distribution lines (#109 and #132) are also under the fields at Crittenden Middle Sshool. They travel essentially under the third base and across the field (150 ft from the blacktop corner) to the middle of the parking lot off of Middlefield (West lot). The state will not allow new school property to be bought over these types of gas lines! There is supposed to be an independent (not PG&E) review when any school buildings are within 1500 ft of a high pressure line.
These are the types of details that the school Board and the MVWSD administrators should be keeping track of. (IMO) By talking to the city Public Works engineer on this, I've found that the #109 replacement (to the middle of Middlefield), will not be tied in until 2013 summer. And the #132 line (San Bruno explosion line) is not on even on the 3 yr. replacement schedule.
THANKS FOR THE "GAS" ARTICLES Daniel!

The bigger picture and the point is PGE making changes that save them money but keeps lives of our neighbors in danger.In monitoring from the air, if they see something it will take time to get to the problem, they will have to evacuate. If an explosion there will be death and fire and they will not be able to deal with the pipe because they will be dealing with fire. If the pipe were in an area free of homes the pipes can be dealt with and people will at least have a chance. I want our neighbors safe, they deserve to have a life. I understand it will be expensive,but it is possible.
Posted by Frustrated, a resident of the Stierlin Estates neighborhood, on Sep 27, 2012 at 10:10 pm
Haven't we had enough of PG&E putting profits ahead of safety? These neighbors have a ticking time bomb under their yards, and PG&E would rather strip their private oasis than spend the extra money to move the pipeline. Isn't one destroyed neighborhood enough for them to see the folly in staying on their present course? How incredibly selfish and fiscal. The new CEO wants to improve their relationship with the people of CA. Yeah, right. Sure does look like he's working hard to achieve that particular goal. Seems to me that the executives and stockholders could do without some of the wallet stuffing that goes on, and do the right thing by the state for a change. Also, why should this hand-full of neighbors be expected to shoulder the entire responsibility for providing the gas to this wonderful city and beyond? They will obviously lose any hope of resale value on their homes - who wants to buy a home with pipe 132 running through a backyard that isn't allowed to have any trees or shrubs in it? I can pretty much answer that - NO ONE. So, the answer is simple, but maybe more expensive than PG&E wants to spend. Move the pipeline. It's the right and moral thing to do.

Portsmouth City Council approved all budget-related items on …
Updated: Tuesday, 12 Mar 2013, 11:31 PM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 12 Mar 2013, 6:29 PM EDT
PORTMSOUTH, Va. (WAVY) - Despite calls from the mayor and citizens for equal opportunity hiring, a local city council picked two officials without an open hiring process.
Interim City Manager John Rowe was named full-time city manager and Acting City Attorney George Wilson was named full-time city attorney. Rowe and Wilson were the only candidates for their jobs.
Mayor Kenny Wright did not approve of Rowe and Wilson because they did not go through an open application process where others could apply for the jobs.
"You should always open your process even from within," Wright said Tuesday. "That gives them a leg up because we know who they are and what their capabilities are, but on all our city documents we say we are an equal opportunity employer."
The city auditor position, also up for selection Tuesday, was open to outside applicants.
State Senator Louise Lucas (D-VA) was also in attendance to discuss Councilman Danny Meeks' comments last month about who controls Portsmouth.
Meeks said "black ministers, special interest groups and Sen. Louise Lucas have too much control."
"I was terribly upset, especially when here I was off in the General Assembly carrying their legislative package, and they're slammin' me while I'm working for them, and I didn't appreciate that." Lucas told 10 On Your Side.
Meeks declined comment but told WAVY.com he and Lucas are set to meet Wednesday. Wright said he will be meeting with council to discuss best practices and future procedures.
Council also voted to restore their opposition to the Downtown and Midtown tolls set to begin next year, and declared their support for the lawsuits against them.

Global Payments, Inc. (NYSE: GPN) ("Global") has reported a significant data security breach for approximately 1.5 million credit card customers. According to a statement that Global released on Sunday, their investigation has revealed that "Track 2 card data may have been stolen, but that cardholders' names, addresses and social security numbers were not obtained by criminals." Using Track 2 data, a hacker can transfer a credit card's account number and expiration date to a fraudulent card, and then use the fraudulent card for purchases.
As a result of the breach, Visa has removed Global from its list of companies that it considers to be "compliant services providers." In an effort to calm consumers, Global issued a press release today assuring that "[b]ased on the forensic analysis to date, network monitoring and additional security measures, the company believes that this incident is contained."
The incident reinforces the importance of maintaining adequate data security. Companies must take ample precautions to secure their customers' data, and if they fail to do so, they may be vulnerable to a serious security breach that could adversely affect their bottom line. As of the time of this post, Global's stock price has fallen approximately 12% since the data breach news was announced. Even when following best practices in data security, companies still may face data security breaches. Despite these inevitable risks, companies should do everything reasonably required to protect against data breaches. If a company can show that it has taken the proper precautions, then this may mitigate or reduce potential liability in the event of a breach. After a breach, companies should ensure that they follow all of the strict legal requirements for notifying customers of the breach and remedying the effects of the breach. Doing so may greatly reduce a company's exposure to customer lawsuits and government action against the company.
