Turkey Page Co-Editor Asli Bali and Bogazici University's Edhem Eldem on Protests and Repression in Turkey
In the aftermath of the brutal clearing of Gezi Park and the adjacent areas in the early hours of 16 June, along with the turnout of supporters for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's rally in a different part of Istanbul on 17 June, it is important to understand the political, economic, and social roots of the protest movement in Turkey as well as the Justice and Development Party's (AKP) base of support. The following is an audio recording of a teach-in that was organized on Wednesday 12 June 2013. The event featured Asli Bali, Edhem Eldem, Timur Hammond, and Kate Elizabeth Kreasy, and was moderated by Ceren Abi.
Some of the questions addressed in the teach-in include: What explains the initial protests in Gezi Park? How is this localized conflict around the redesign of Taksim Square related to broader grievences as pertains to the ruling AKP's policies more generally? What explains the immediate resort to violence on the part of the government, and the protestors defiance in the face of the level of repression unleashed by the government? What is the political economy of the social bases and startegic calculations of both the protest movement and the ruling AKP? What cleavages exist within the protest movement, and what fissures exist within the ruling AKP that might lead to a reallignment of political forces as pertains to the current confrontations?
The teach-in was sponsored by the Center for Near Eastern Studies at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), who also made the audio recording available. What follows below, preceding the audio recording, is an outline of the event (with time stamps).

**This review is also on Ciao, under my username "MonsoonBaby88"** A rather disappointing aspect of the Xbox 360 is that there is a very limited amount of good RPG's out there to experience. Yes, we have Oblivion and the Final Fantasy series to name but a few, but still, this game genre is very small when compared to the more popular first person shooters, such as Call of Duty, or the Halo series. I was pleased to find out that there was a 4 disc Japanese RPG epic available on the Xbox 360, and for a good price. This game set me back a mere £5 from Gamestation, and is widely available for around the same price in other game retailers. ... Read the complete review

I'm a massive Final Fantasy fan and until recently I've been disappointed in the lack of decent RPG games for both the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. That all changed with the release of the Xbox 360 exclusive title "Lost Odyssey." The game plays quite similar to the Final Fantasy games, which isn't surprising really as the game was produced by the creator of the Final series and also features famed composer Nobuo Uematsu, who composed many of the Final Fantasy games. Plot I wont spoil the plot as I find that watching the story unfold as you play with no idea of what is coming next is one of the highlights of games of this ... Read the complete review

I remember first hearing about this game and thinking to myself that it would just be another really bad RPG game. Being a major Final Fantasy fan, I heard that this game was created by the people who made the Final Fantasy series. This immediately got my attention. Seeing as when this was released, Playstation 3's were extremely expensive and because of this, I ended up buying an Xbox 360. I knew that Xbox 360 does not have many RPG's out, like the Final Fantasy series. I looked into this game with more detail and found out that it was very similar to Final Fantasy. When it came out I bought it straight away. I must say, I am so glad I bought this game. This ... Read the complete review

Being a mad raving Final Fantasy fan, I was a little sceptical about buying this. However, the graphics and music soon won me over and I am now exceptionally gratefully that I did buy it; I love it! The introduction alone will blow you away; the graphics are absolutely stunning. The attention to detail even in gameplay is amazing; the ability to zoom in on things whilst running around towns enhances this. I found myself spending a few minutes in every new location zooming in just so I could look at all the beautiful scenery. Squeenix have done a mind-blowing job on making this game look absolutely gorgeous! However, the best part is that they've ... Read the complete review

Lost Odyssey is a RPG game made by the same people behind Final Fantasy. If you like your role playing games, then this is a decent one. It follows the story of Kaim, an immortal man who has lived 1000 years and whose memory has been erased. As the game progresses you learn with him about his past and his "Lost Odyssey". The story starts on the battlefield where you are quickly introduced to the battle technique. As an avid Final Fantasy follower, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the battle format. The improvements come in the form of characters being limited in some abilities but excelling in others (depending on what you equip them with) as well as ... Read the complete review

WASHINGTON — The 2013 corn harvest pulled well ahead of its five-year average as of Nov. 10, while the soybean harvest was about on par with its five-year average for the date, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in its Nov. 12 weekly Crop Progress report.
The U.S.D.A. pegged the corn harvest at 84% complete in the 18 major states as of Nov. 10, up from 73% a week earlier and ahead of the five-year average for the date of 79%.
In the top three corn-producing states of Iowa, Illinois and Indiana an even higher percentage of the crop had been combined. The U.S.D.A. said 93% of the Illinois crop, 85% of the Indiana crop and 88% of the Iowa crop was harvested as of Nov. 10.
The U.S.D.A. said the soybean harvest was 91% harvested in the 18 major states, a percentage point behind the 92% five-year average. The harvest in the top three soybean-producing states of Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota was essentially done as of Nov. 10. The U.S.D.A. pegged the Illinois harvest at 97% complete, while both the Iowa and Minnesota harvests were reported as 98% complete.
Also ahead of its five-year average, winter wheat in the 18 major states was 95% planted, compared with a 93% average for 2008-12, the U.S.D.A. said. A total of 84% of the crop was emerged as of Nov. 10, also above the 80% five-year average, the U.S.D.A. said.

Home games against Oregon and USC, and a road trip to Michigan highlight Utah's 2014 football schedule, which was released Wednesday.
The Utes, who will play five of their nine conference games on the road, have two Thursday games and just one set of back-to-back home games. The Utes also play home games against Idaho State and Fresno State and road games at UCLA and Oregon State, which are separated by a bye.

Utah opens the season with the Thursday game against Idaho State on Aug. 28. Its first road game is at Michigan on Sept. 20. Utah opens league play the following week against Washington State at Rice-Eccles Stadium. While the Utes play the majority of their league games on the road, they finish the season with three home games and three road games, which appears to be a more favorable schedule than they had in 2013 when they played four of the last six games on the road.
Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, whose team has gone 5-7 the last two years, believes this schedule is just as tough, if not tougher, than the one the Utes faced in 2013.
"When it comes to competing in the Pac-12 conference, there are no weeks off, and a non-conference schedule that includes Michigan and Fresno State will be challenging as well," Whittingham said. "As was the case this past season, our schedule should prove to be among the toughest in the country, which is the kind of competitive situation you expect when you are a member of one of the nation's premier conferences."
The Pac-12 title game is set for Dec. 5 at the home field of the team with the best overall conference record. Every game will be televised through a combination of ESPN channels, ABC, FOX and FOX Sports 1 and the Pac-12 Network.

A hush rolls across the land as we are greeted with the first glimmer of morning light. All is calm as an eerie silence encompasses the entire earth.
The frigid morning chill and a handful of dancing snowflakes welcomes the mystical morning of Dec. 25.
The hustle, bustle, and stress of everyday life has melted away and has been replaced with an expansive peace. Forgotten are the to-do lists and credit card balances. There are no traffic reports or breaking morning news reports. Political banter and sports rivalries have come to a screeching halt. All things have been replaced by peace on earth and goodwill to men.
Christmas Day is wrapped in an unprecedented serenity, which can even make my hardened, Grinchy heart grow three times its size. At first light you can almost hear the brush of angelic wings and heavenly voices softly floating down from the sky, embracing mankind in saintly harmony.
Gone is the turmoil and strife of the everyday grind. Stock quotes, account balances, and 401-K savings plans are absent from our thoughts. Also gone are the Black Friday, pre-Christmas and the last-minute gift sales.
As the world slowly awakens, they are welcomed into an aura of satisfaction, completeness, and fulfillment. Children are alive with excitement and delight, while proud parents look on at their offspring with joy warming their hearts.
Every Dec. 25 the world somehow magically transforms into a peaceful and wonderful place. Maybe it's the fact that everybody is relieved to have made it to this special day, or maybe it is the relief from the overwhelming commercial push that bombards us from every side. Or perhaps it is something quite more divine and we are simply experiencing a minute taste of what is.
Whatever the answer is, I fully enjoy and embrace the beautiful silence of the Christmas morn. The stillness and solitude hold a special place deep in my heart. Each year I try to awake before the family and spend just a few brief moments alone, soaking in the atmosphere that is a Christmas Day.

I will do it tomorrow. How many times have you laid in bed, snuggled up with that warm, fuzzy blanket and your head resting on the cold side of the pillow when an amazing, perhaps earth-shattering thought pounces to the forefront of your mind?
Josh Drespling: If you can't take the heat — get outta my car!
I've found that my body really can't tell the difference between 4 degrees above zero and 10 below. You may wonder how I know such a weird fact about myself. It is quite simple. The heater in my car has not worked since late last spring.

Josh Drespling: I'm gaining a new appreciation for losing inches

Paul Hogan is an unlikely movie star, with his Australian twang and his quizzical grin and his air of being constantly a little surprised to find himself at the center of attention. But he does indeed have a genuine star quality, and I found myself meditating on that quality while watching "Almost an Angel." This is, on the face of it, the kind of movie I cannot abide - a soppy fable in which a crook does a good deed, is convinced he has died and gone to heaven and is told by God (who looks remarkably like Charlton Heston) that he is being given a chance to redeem himself - that he's an angel on probation. And then the guy comes back to Earth and befriends a man in a wheelchair and falls in love with the man's sister, who runs a center for homeless kids, and come on, enough already.
So why was I watching the movie with interest and amusement, instead of cynical detachment? In large part, I believe, because Paul Hogan and the other actors in the story are able to project complete sincerity and at the same time a subtle sense of humor and an enormous feeling of goodwill. There is something so unstudied and likable about Hogan that he can inhabit material like this and not come across as an insufferable goody-two-shoes.
Part of that quality stems from Hogan's innate comedic abilities. If he were not in show business, he would probably be regaling his buddies down at the bar or emceeing the banquet for his bowling league. He possesses an instinctive good humor.
That comes across in the funny opening scenes of "Almost an Angel," when he is discharged from prison - having wired every lock, gate and alarm in the joint to his channel-changer. Hogan is an expert on security systems - so good the cops can easily spot his trademark jobs. So he changes professions, going in for bank robbery, and for his first two jobs he disguises himself as Willie Nelson and Rod Stewart. Sounds contrived, I know, but it's funny the way the movie handles it, and the cops even get into an argument about Willie's last album.
Then comes the heroic stunt that sends Hogan to heaven - or what he thinks is heaven - and brings him back to Earth, much chastened and determined to wreak goodness upon his fellow men.
That's when he meets the man in the wheelchair (Elias Koteas), and makes him a friend by challenging him to a fight ("We'll both sit down"), and gets taken home, and meets his sister (perennial Hogan co-star Linda Kozlowski), and gets involved with helping out at the center for street kids. So once again he's the helpful stranger, an angel doubling as "Crocodile" Dundee.
The movie's plot is not exactly sophisticated, and some of the sequences are so naive they seem borrowed from old grade-B Westerns - the one, for example, where Hogan convinces a couple of tough guys that he is being backed up by an invisible posse. But the movie's low-key charm and goodwill make up for a lot. And so does Hogan's natural, entertaining screen presence.
I cannot, however, much as I'd like to, quite recommend this movie - the going gets a little thick at the end, and some of the plot developments are dumb. And I'd like the ending better if it hadn't pulled out every possible stop. But that isn't to say I'm scornful of the film's special qualities and its gentle good humor.

10/2/14 - Thank you so much for the reviews and suggestions, we always read each one, and they're what keeps us going! The Newgrounds version is now slightly old, there is an updated version here with one extra level: tinyurl.com/rdigf. I will get the Newgrounds version to match that one soon hopefully! And stay tuned for the full version somewhere far in the distant future...
11/1/13 - Hit window has been tightened up a bit following more playtesting. Songs are hosted on Dropbox btw, so if it says loading 0% for more than a few seconds then Dropbox is down! Doesn't happen often though, they're quite reliable.
10/1/13 - Feedback dialogue upon failing a level is now skippable! Thanks to the suggestions in the comments, and the NG team for featuring the game. You may need to Ctrl-F5 (or the Mac/Linux equivalent) the page to clear your cache and get it to load the newer version.
Edit: Thank you for all the kind words people :) We're trying hard to get this game sponsored so we can dole out the full version. So if you liked it, rating this game on the sidebar (even multiple times!) to the left would be very charitable of you and help increase the game's visibility in this Flash jungle. The review scores don't count towards the rating, so if you wrote a review it would doubly help if you rated on the sidebar too. WE LOVE YOU!
Oh, unlocking the secret level involves perfecting a particularly hard level. It's.. for your own good.
Browser: Anything but Chrome
Flash Player: 11.4 or above
IF YOU INSIST ON USING CHROME: The Chrome problem is not specific to this game, but affects all games. It's just this game requires a degree of accuracy so high that the tiny lag caused by Chrome's inbuilt Flash Player is enough to throw the timing off. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK IN CHROME by going to chrome://plugins and disabling all plugins with 'PepperFlash' in the location. This will make it use the normal Flash player like the other browsers, if you have it installed.
IF YOU ARE USING LINUX: The latest Flash version is 11.2 which unfortunately doesn't include the amazing sound latency update. The game should still be playable, the only difference being that the audiophiles will notice a 0.1s latency between pressing a key and hearing its sound effect. However if you're used to playing flash games on 11.2 and have never noticed this then it shouldn't affect you! Just press enter at the warning.
Rhythm Doctor is a tough ONE-BUTTON rhythm game heavily inspired by Rhythm Heaven!
For those who played Rhythm Heaven, the defining feature of the series is the extremely strict margin of error, compared to any other music game out there. This means many people even realise their rhythm is a little off until they play Rhythm Heaven. My game seeks to emulate that feeling :)
Many. many hours have been spent making the engine accurate. After extensive testing we found a calibration that worked for all browsers except Chrome, which lags due to it using PepperFlash. Enjoy!
Tough game if your rhythm sucks ass. xD But this game is quite fun! Especially to get to try to see all the patients and such. Cant wait to see the full version!
Great, I really enjoy this game! Good music and i could keep up with the beat. (psst...I used chrome)
Great music, great one button concept rhythm game, great humor. Awesome stuff. WE JUST NEED THE FULL GAME NOW
This summer! :)
m music is buzzy and pausy and cases me sufferng
Hiya, the 'pausy' / stuttering problems happen when you don't have enough free memory! Closing some other tabs and programs should eliminate those problems completely.
I fell in love with this game within minutes after playing. As a fan of Rhythm Heaven I can see that you guys not only drew your style from it but improved it with the cool dialog and characters. Well done. Can't wait for the full game.

Oprah, Ireland's prime minister headline list of 42 Mass. college commencement speakers
- Joe Halpern
- Research Director- Boston Business Journal
From captains of industry to world leaders to pioneers in medicine, science, entertainment and social justice, this year's group of Boston area college commencement speakers certainly covers the spectrum.
And while the intriguing lineup of speakers invited to deliver words of wisdom to graduating classes of 2013 include World Bank President Jim Yong Kim at Northeastern University this Friday and Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny at Boston College on May 20, the most controversial selection may have come from the granddaddy of all schools here.
Harvard University's choice of media entrepreneur and daytime talk-show host Oprah Winfrey for its 362nd commencement day speaker on May 30 has not come without its critics. Harry Lewis, a professor of computer science who served as Dean of Harvard College from 1995 to 2003, wrote on his blog that Oprah is a "major purveyor of pseudoscience" and therefore an inappropriate commencement speaker at a university dedicated to pursuing truth through evidence and reason."
Harvard, however, sticks by its decision to invite the first African-American woman billionaire to headline its undergraduate afternoon commencement exercises.
"Oprah's journey from her grandmother's Mississippi farm to becoming one of the world's most admired women is one of the great American success stories," Harvard President Drew Faust said in the statement posted on the Harvard Gazette website. "She has used her extraordinary influence and reach as a force for good in the world, with a constant focus on the importance of educational opportunity and the virtues of serving others."

Infiniti launches Vettel helmet design contest
Dubai, September 8, 2013
Infiniti, the luxury automotive brand, has launched an exclusive competition to design the helmet worn by Formula One Triple World champion Sebastian Vettel at the upcoming Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Race fans from all over the Middle East are being invited to submit their most creative designs to Infiniti. The winning entry will be personally chosen by Sebastian Vettel, who will wear the helmet for the Friday practice sessions and Saturday qualifying session at the Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi on November 1 and 2.
The lucky winner plus a friend will also enjoy a VIP weekend at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Infiniti, including meeting Vettel himself.
Participants will be able to submit their designs directly to the Infiniti competition website at infiniti-gp.com/competition/vettel-abu-dhabi-helmet or download the helmet template and simply draw their design on paper. Entries close on September 29 and will be judged on September 30.
"The helmets I wear are very important to me, as each one has a special meaning or a connection with the race in question. Normally I work closely with my helmet designer to come up with a new design for every other race, and this is the first time I've given the fans the chance to do it for me. I can't wait to see what they come up with," said Vettel. – TradeArabia News Service

Forbidden Arms
Challenge hordes of ninjas in this epic action adventure game.
4.14 / 5.00 41,136 ViewsKeep An Eye
Help strange creatures to bring the eye to a mysterious customer.
3.74 / 5.00 13,430 ViewsHex Empire is a strategy game, a little similiar to Risk. It has simple rules (read in-game help) but absorbing gameplay on thousands of generated maps. I hope you will enjoy!
Now available on the App Store!
great game some tips
*try keep your capital well defended as if 2 tanks attack at once your dead
*don't always go brute force sometimes try sneak around there defenses and go straight at the capital
*taking a capital that is weak is a good idea don't let them gain power as if they manage to get through to your capital you might die
*don't randomly pick city you will need to chose carefully even if you see AI do good on it doesn't mean you will
*sign a pack is kinda useless as if your losing to them they disagree but if your winning they sign it but even after a turn they sometimes attack you again its just not worth it
*both numbers mean attack number size and moral both need to be high to be a strong unit a terrible number but a massive moral could sometimes beat an enemy with double there unit power
* taking capitals is crucial to winning if you take a capital there out of the game and you make them lose every unit and you gain all of there land (including city and harbors)
*time sometimes is the key to winning and also combining troops
these are basic tips on to surviving but don't always count on the as sometimes bots are random and do crazy stuff
Good game , it is very hard to win even in easy difficulty but somehow i managed to win :)
the graphics are OK , but the strategying and conquering is INSANE , a game worth to have 4,43 stars rate overall ;)
I love these Risk-type games and Hex Empire is definitely one of the best. The only thing I'd add is a notification when your ally breaks the pact. There should be a few turns wait before you can attack each other.

section at 37 weeks..anyone?
(24 Posts)36+6 emcs 7lb6oz and perfect no problems breastfeeding no problems at all.
(obvs he had solid food after 6 months! Just mean he was bf'd for a year and a half. IYSWIM)
elcs at 37+5 as my waters went at 37+4 (no contractions). Elcs had been planned for 39 weeks as standard, but hey ho! DC was 6lb 8oz, apgar of 9 and 10, no problems and was ebf for a year and a half.
ELCS 39 weeks - 6lb 10. She wasn't growing on the inside. At eighteenobths she is HUGE.
Thank you for all the replies. Glad to hear that the majority are fine.
have my section date booked for 38 weeks, my consultant is an awful heartless so and so!!
hi elective section at 38 weeks - all fine but very vernixy. em cs (waters went no dilation) at 36 weeks and same again with no 4 at 35 weeks. He spent 8 days in nicu as he couldn't breathe alone despite steroids when i had a show at 32w. last two were good weights at 6lb and 6lb6 respectively. no4 is now v healthy 15month old.
All mine were CSs at 37 weeks. All fine - perfect, actually.
38 weeks - perfect 7lbs 4 - came out screaming no lung issues or mucus in them etc...also know of a 34 week - also fine.
emcs at 37 weeks exactly after waters went at 36+5. Had polyhydramnios & labour failed to progress.
DS born at 3.08am, scbu on standby.... He weighed in at 7lb 15oz & had a score of 9 at 1 min so they decided he was ok
DD born by planned section at 37+4 because of polyhydramnios again (I measured 48cm at 36 weeks because of all the fluid!) weighed 7lb 10 1/2oz
sorry, no nightmares here good luck
one at 35, one at 38, both perfect! No problems whatsoever.
EMCS at 37 weeks with DD1 as she was breech. 5lb7oz, no problems
emcs at 33 wks ( I had pre-eclampsia) ds1 born 3.5lbs with IUGR, he screamed his head off (tho it sounded more like a cat) so didn't even go to scbu! We were put on a ward that was a half way house between scbu and the normal post natal one where the babies are kept in a side room together and we both stayed in hospital for a month by which time he'd made it up to 4lbs 12oz. He was kept under a heater and tube fed for 3 and a half weeks with ebm being too weak to latch on. By 6 months he was 13lbs 15 oz
When we came home they told us to keep the house at a constant temp of 25C day and night and not to take him out for a bit. They told me to keep him wrapped in a blanket in swaddling style. I first took him out for his 6 week check and then one day when he was about 2.5 months the HV rang to say it was a lovely spring day and if I wrapped him up well enough, I could take him for a walk to the park.
No problems at all except finding clothes small enough. MIL knitted him a hat and used her fist as a pattern.
He's now a strapping 18 yr old
Good luck and enjoy your little one - they grow all too quickly
CS at 35 weeks as waters went. 5lb 5, minor problems with maintaining body temp and blood sugars for first 24 hours, but it just meant she was kept on a heated mat and had some formula. Absolutely fine after that and discharged on day 3.
Good luck!
Very variable, depends on why you are having baby early, and how accurate your dates are. I had DS2 at 35+5, so 9 days off 37 weeks asy placenta had stopped working. He was 5lb3 and a but skinny. Fluid on lungs / respiratory distress (common with a CS, even at term). He needed some help feeding (fed by drip and by ngt at first) but was discharged after a week and no problems since. Though he is only 2 weeks now!
I was scheduled to have a section at 36 weeks (identical twins) but went into early natural labour at 34 &3 both babies were fine smallest was 4lb9oz and we were out after 5 nights. It was a great experience.
You will be fine!
Had ds via EMCS at 37 weeks becasue of pre eclampsia and growth retardation.
He weighed 5Lbs 4oz and was perfect, no ill effects at all other than feeding every 1.5 hours day and night to catch up on his weight!
It was the best decision for him and for me that could have been made.
No regrets at all.
Had DS at 37 weeks by EMCS for foetal distress. He was absolutely fine, 6lb 10.5oz (slightly heavier than full term DD). I had undetected partial placenta praevia and he was stuck face up with me at 9cm when his heart rate plummeted. I was a bit anaemic but ok.
Now sat in hospital waiting for a tooth removal/re-implant. He's almost 16 and 6ft tall
36+5 weeks CS here. Baby was 6lbs, breastfed beautifully and my experience was brilliant overall. Good luck!
36+5 waters went but no dilation so had c-section. DD1 was about 3 kgs (about same as DS1 born at 39ish).
Birth absolutely fine but she was a bit grunty and needed a bit of CPAP (help with oxygen) for a day. She spent a few days in SCUBU but no one worried about her.
She's 6 now and absolutely fine. In fact I forget sometimes what happened it was so tiny in the scheme of things.
DS2 who was born at 30 weeks on the other hand ...
Hope all goes well for you.
38w here, although docs said they thought he looked younger (dunno how they could tell...). Minor probs - hypoglycaemia and low body temperature. Also had to have fluid removed from lungs - but think this is normal for a section? Birth weight slightly below average at 3 kg. All good now (9 weeks) though...
Not 37w but am currently feeding super healthy DS who was anELCS at 38w. He was 8lb7 so not small and screamed like a banshee as soon as he was born
Yes - my second child was a planned csection at 37 weeks as her growth was tailing off. She was 7lb exactly - 2 lbs bigger than her brother born at 42 weeks after an emergency csection.
She was perfect, very healthy, measuring 10 on the scale 1 minute after birth. She was in a much, much better state than my son who was only 5lbs at birth and a collection of bones. Only after going two weeks over did the mw induce and when he was born he was tiny, with bones sticking out and skin hanging off him. My placenta had obviously failed and we were lucky he survived.
If there is a likelihood your placenta is going to fail they are better out than in.
Don't have any stories for you I'm afraid but I am scheduled to have a C section at 37 weeks (am 32 weeks at the mo) so would also be interested in any responses to this.
Can anyone tell me if they had a section at 37 weeks?
was baby very small? any problems with baby?
im.after horror stories but most of all the good please?

Farmington Fire Rescue Department
2012 Annual Report
The Farmington Fire Rescue had the busiest year ever. We responded to 1416 emergencies, 100 more calls than the previous year, keeping the combination department extremely busy. In 2012 there were several fires in town and a series of brush fires throughout the spring and summer which burned several acres of land and taxed our resources on several occasions. Smoke detectors do save lives and property, as we witnessed on several occasions this year.
We had several serious motor vehicle accidents that taxed our capabilities but all of our members stepped up and filled their roles, making our response run smoothly and effectively. The department completed well over 150 life safety inspections. The state forest fire warden and deputy wardens completed about 500 camp fire inspections, and hundreds of fire permits were issued. These activities have kept me and the part-time staff very busy.
The ambulance billing is going ok; our collection rates are approximately 68% which is considered good in this economy. We added a part-time person to assist in some of our revenue that has not been collected by the billing company; we hope to see a return on this in the second quarter of the year.
The fire prevention program had another successful year. We reached out to well over 500 children in the community during fire prevention week. We held our annual open house which is sponsored mostly by the Farmington Firefighters association and the local business owners. THANK YOU for making this event happen each year and to its success.
I would like to thank the Farmington Fire Association for their assistance throughout the year. They support the department in every way possible!! The association also contributed to community groups and organized another successful toys for tots program for the 2012 Holiday season. THANK YOU!!
I fully understand the current economy and the cost of new fire apparatus, but as the Fire Chief for your town, I feel it is my duty to provide the taxpayers and residents with safe and effective equipment for the operation of the Fire and Rescue Department. We are in need of a fire engine/rescue pumper. Our rescue truck was taken out of service several years ago and it has not been replaced. We also need a Fire engine and all of our equipment is getting old quickly and we need to update them in order to run an effective operation.
I have put in a warrant article this year for a rescue pumper which will allow us to have a rescue truck as well as a pumper and this vehicle should serve us for 25 years. It's a lease purchase and should cost us about $58,000 a year for 7 years. I encourage all of you to support this at town meeting, the first years payment is in the capital reserve fund so there is no cost this year for the payment.
We currently have a good mix of new and older members who are dedicated to protecting this community, whether it be a fire or medical emergency these people are here to assist you. Our current roster is at 44 members.
As always, I want to thank the Town of Farmington for its continued support of the fire department. We could not have completed many of our missions and tasks without your support.
Respectfully Submitted,
Richard E. Fowler Jr.

Your Stories
Today's inspiring quote comes from the author and teacher Alberto Villodo.
"The first insight shows you that these are merely characters you've created to explain what happened to you.
Your personal stories are just yarns you've spun; they are not you. Suffering occurs when you believe them to be true – whether you created these stories yourself or someone did it for you, you confuse them for reality.
The characters in your narrative then become like hungry ghosts who show up at the dinner table and feed off your scraps.
You may strive to understand and negotiate with these ghosts because you believe they are genuine.But their complaints, demands and thirst for attention are endless."

The Four Insights: Wisdom, Power, and Grace of the Earthkeepers.

I worked at BellSouth
Pros – Learning from others; Ability to grow and move about departs; Vacation and Time off was flexible; Ability to work from Home
Cons – BellSouth was acquired by AT&T while I was employed there and the transition was not very smooth.
Advice to Senior Management – Recognize the talent you have and award based on work ethic and ability to perform job; not tenure at the organization

A detective calls it "death alley." The two miles of South Vermont Avenue that stretch north from Imperial Highway are home to churches, liquor stores, mortuaries and one of the highest rates of homicide in L.A. County.
Sixty people have been killed along this corridor since 2007, most shot to death.
The violence, which seems never-ending, landed at Angela Hawkins' doorstep.
When gunshots sprayed from a passing car in October, panicked neighbors fled through the hallways of her apartment complex on West 92nd Street.
Hawkins opened her door to find Joe Anthony Ordaz on the floor, saying he'd been hit. People surrounded him, telling him he would be OK.
She recognized him. Their young children played together. Ordaz, 24, would die before sunrise.

St. Clair County considers online jail visitation
The Belleville News-Democrat says St. Clair County Sheriff Rick Watson is exploring the costs of perhaps giving relatives the option of visiting with their jailed loved ones through online video streaming.
Watson says such an offering would be safer in that it would let inmates have such visits from their cells rather than requiring guards to move them to and from the visitation area. And it would be convenient for the relatives.
Supporters of the idea include the John Howard Association, a nonprofit prison watchdog. Its executive director, John Maki, says enabling more visitations creates a calmer lockup, improving safety of the jail and staff.
YouTube milestone: now serving videos to 1 billion people
The milestone announced Wednesday marks another step in YouTube's evolution from a quirky startup launched in 2005 to one of the most influential forces in today's media landscape.
YouTube crossed the 1 billion threshold five months after Facebook Inc. said its online social network had reached that figure for the first time.
The vast audience has given YouTube's owner, Google Inc., another lucrative channel for selling online ads beyond its dominant Internet search engine.
Google bought YouTube for $1.76 billion in 2006 when the video site had an estimated 50 million users worldwide.

BAR CRAWLER: Dashing through choice karaoke dens
The song list was extensive but lacked my planned-on Don McLean classic — which seemed out-of-place anyway amid such a demure crowd. Billy Joel's "Entertainer" popped into my head because it's light and mercifully fast. With hardly a wait, I was twanging, left leg trembling, a good half-octave below where my voice stops sounding like a woman's and starts sounding like the Marlboro Man's. I got a rush of mercy applause and swept my friends out the door.

More than a week passed, and I was ready to go it alone. For a low-key bar with a neighborhood vibe, 500 Club is perfect. Karaoke Sundays start when the afternoon light is still streaming through large windows and a Tecate on the crowded benches feels just right. Audience participation — including some friendly heckling — is big here, and the singers heckle right back. Be warned: the front row, which is nearly every seat in the joint, is something akin to Sea World's splash zone. You may be personally serenaded, implored to sing backup, or even humped a bit — all in good fun.

Pandora begs a reference to the overstuffed box, and it's appropriate: this bar has it all — in a good way. Bins brim with cymbals, tambourines, silly hats, and other props. Candy Land and Jenga top a stack of board games. Flat-screen TVs flash the night's basketball scores. A disco ball sprinkles light over sleek silver couches, low coffee tables, and a posh lit-up bar.
The story is cut off partway through the Pandora section, otherwise this was a good story. Also, the photo credit is incorrect, as I am the photographer for this photo, This was supposed to be corrected but was not corrected.
