CDC: Child Abuse Costs U.S. $124 Billion Per Year
A single year of confirmed cases of child maltreatment–including physical abuse, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect–costs the U.S. government $124 in expenses ranging from health care costs to productivity loss to criminal justice and special education costs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says in a new report.
The report, which was published in the journal Child Abuse and Neglect, The International Journal, also found that the lifetime costs associated with each maltreated child (if that child survives) is $210,012, which is similar to the costs associated with major health problems like stroke or type 2 diabetes.
From a CDC press release:
Past research suggests that child maltreatment is a complicated problem, and so its solutions cannot be simple. An individual parent or caregiver's behavior is influenced by a range inter-related factors such as how they were raised, their parenting skills, the level of stress in their life, and the living conditions in their community. Because of this complexity, it is critical to invest in effective strategies that touch on all sectors of society.
"Federal, state, and local public health agencies as well as policymakers must advance the awareness of the lifetime economic impact of child maltreatment and take immediate action with the same momentum and intensity dedicated to other high profile public health problems –in order to save lives, protect the public's health, and save money," said Dr. Linda C. Degutis, [director of CDC′s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control].
Several programs have demonstrated reductions in child maltreatment and have great potential to reduce the human and economic toll on our society. Several examples of effective programs include:
- Nurse–Family Partnership, an evidence-based community health program. Partners a registered nurse with a first-time mother during pregnancy and continues through the child's second birthday.
- Early Start, provides coordinated, family-centered system of services: California's response to federal legislation providing early intervention services to infant and toddlers with disabilities and their families.
- Triple P, a multilevel parenting and family support system: Aims to prevent severe emotional and behavioral disturbances in children by promoting positive and nurturing relationships between parent and child.

South Gippsland In April
The leaves on the deciduous trees are turning brown
Yet in the Parks and gardens of Wonthaggi Town
The mynas are singing their songs tell of rain
And the frogs they are calling in the roadside drain.
Though into mid April and the Winter quite near
The weather quite warm for the time of year
On the beach at Cape Paterson the sun lovers lay
It may rain tomorrow but the sun shines today.
Only six weeks left of Autumn the time ticking on
And quite Summery weather though Summer is long gone
The old coastal hills overlooking the sea shore
Have seldom looked this dry or this brown before.
South Gippsland in April a fresh coastal breeze
In the woodland is soughing in the sunlit trees
Utopia on Earth the South Gippslanders say
That from where they live Heaven is not far away.
The birds in the Parkland they whistle and sing
It is more like weather in Summer or late Spring
The sun shining brightly but those brown hills nearby
A few hours of rain now would surely enjoy.

This is the last of an ongoing three part series whereby I defend my
family planning choices, and thus my children, against misguided perceptions,
disparaging comments, and a threat to other families whose reproductive rights
are being called into question. For
those of you who have been following, you know that my first installment
defended my family against comments made by the general public in response to
the building of a new infertility clinic in one Illinois suburb. And my second challenged the study findings
of Elizabeth Marquardt, the editor of FamilyScholars.org and vice president for
family studies and the director of the Center for Marriage and Families at the
Institute for American Values. Well, Mrs.
Marquardt is back at it. She also has a
few accomplices in her crusade, Jennifer Lahl, president of the Center for
Bioethics and Culture in California, and David Prentice, a professor with the
Christian faith-based organization, Family Research Group. As you may have guessed by the last gentleman's
credentials, this piece will strive to defend third party reproduction against their
arguments, some of which include religious perspective.

As he celebrated the christening christening: see baptism. of his son, Zack, proud father Paul Stewart Paul Stewart is the name of many notable people:
Paul, diagnosed with bowel cancer only two weeks ago, said his love for gorgeous wife Victoria and sons Dylan, five, Lucas, three, and new baby Zac have given him the strength to fight the killer disease. As his close friend, British Grand Prix This article is about Formula One race. For other uses, see British Grand Prix (disambiguation). The British Grand Prix is a race in the calendar of the FIA Formula One World Championship. winner David Coulthard David Marshall Coulthard, often called DC, born March 27, 1971 in Twynholm, Kirkcudbrightshire, is a Scottish Formula One racing driver. He is a successful driver in the current era of the sport with 13 grand prix victories. , cradled Zac in his arms, Paul said: "I only found out I had cancer a few weeks ago, so it is still a bit of a shock. "I have only just started my therapy and I am sure the worst is still to come. The next few months are going to be tough but as long as I have my family beside me, I'll get through it." Paul added: "I am keeping very positive because the way I see it is that there are a lot of people worse off than me. "I am lucky that I have the love and support of my wife and boys. The doctors have told me my chances of beating this thing are very good and I am determined to beat it." Paul spoke exclusively to the Record as the Stewart clan enjoyed a family reunion Often an annual event, a family reunion takes place on a specified day each year for the purpose of keeping an extended family closer together. Some reunions may be held less often. . A host of celebrity guests shared in his joy on one of the happiest days of his life. Last night Victoria, who married Paul in 1993, said: "Paul's foresight to go to the doctor for a check up probably saved his life. "He knew that he could not put it off for the sake of his children. "It was awful for him and very degrading but he went through it for us. We are so proud of him." She added: "If anyone can beat this thing, it's Paul. He is the bravest person I know and he is an inspiration to everyone. He is my hero. "Paul is very single minded and when he decides to do something, nothing will get in his way. There is nothing more important to Paul than his family and spending as much time as possible with his boys." She also paid tribute to the support given by Paul's father Jackie and his mother Helen. Victoria said: "Paul, myself, Jackie and Helen are all determined to see this through and look forward to a future together. Doctors are hopeful that Paul will beat this because it has been caught early enough." Former racing champ Paul is being treated for bowel cancer at the world-famous Mayo Clinic Mayo Clinic: see Mayo, Charles Horace. Mayo Clinic voluntary association of more than 500 physicians in Rochester, Minnesota. [Am. Hist.: EB, 11: 723] See : Medicine in Minnesota, America. Doctors made the diagnosis after tests on a recurring stomach problem. Paul will start to lose his hair today - two weeks after his first session of chemotherapy. Victoria added: "He should lose all his hair by Friday but he will still be the same person to us. It won't change him. We will probably be shocked for about two minutes and then we will just get on with it. "I will look at him and think that it is normal. He got his hair cut really short last week so that it wouldn't be such a shock. Paul isn't really bothered about losing his hair - he has more important things to worry about. "He has already told the boys that daddy will go bald because of his illness. It makes it easier for them when their classmates Classmates can refer to either:
Paul still has another five chemotherapy sessions to endure. And Victoria will be by his side every step of the way. She said: "We will have to go over to America every three weeks for check-ups and chemotherapy. Each session only takes about two hours but every time we go across, we will have to spend a day and a half before flying home. "It is going to be hard on both of us, it will be difficult being apart from the boys but we will get through it. I will all be worth it in the end." Since announcing his illness, Paul has been flooded by letters of support and special messages from fans. Victoria said: "The letters were extremely touching and some of the words had me in floods of tears. I have never experienced anything like it. Having so much support around him means a lot of Paul. He is very grateful for every letter he receives." Paul, who ran the Jaguar Racing Jaguar Racing was a Formula One team that competed in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2000 to 2004. It was formed from the purchase by Ford of Jackie Stewart's Stewart Grand Prix Formula One team in June 1999.

Former Formula One champion Jackie, 60, said Paul's recovery was the "single most important thing" in the life of the Stewart family. He added: "Fortunately Paul is in the best possible hands at the clinic. His mother Helen and I, as well as his brother Mark, and Paul's wife Victoria, have complete confidence in his doctors and we are optimistic that he can overcome this illness and carry on living life to the full." The treatment for a malignant lymphoma malignant lymphoma n. See lymphoma. is expected to take three months. Paul was a winner in Formula Ford 2000 and in Formula 3, but he failed to emulate his father's success and he opted in 1994 to concentrate on team management. Two years later he and his father created Stewart Grand Prix Stewart Grand Prix is a former Formula One constructor and racing team. The team was formed by three times Formula One champion Jackie Stewart and his son Paul Stewart in 1996. The team competed in F1, as the Ford works-supported team, for only three seasons, from 1997 to 1999. .Ford bought the Stewart team for more than pounds 60million last season and rebranded it for the 2000 season as Jaguar.

"Paul really enjoyed himself and was so proud of his children. It was good for him to be with the people he loves. "He was really pleased to see David Coulthard. They are close friends and he has been a great help to him after finding out about the cancer." Yesterday, Coulthard cradled little Zac - but vowed to dump his nice guy image.

The Scot cut his Grand Prix winning celebrations short to make sure he attended the ceremony. With stunning fiancee Heidi looking on as he held the infant, Coulthard, 29, fired off a stern warning to German rival Michael Schumacher. Now second to Schumacher in the drivers table, Coulthard said: "If Michael thinks he's got the title wrapped up, he'd better think again. " And he said of his nice guy image: "Of course there is a place for that and in many ways I'll never change. But I know I've got to get tougher on the track and not be scared to show people who is boss." Triple world champion Jackie Stewart, the last Scot to wear the Formula One crown 27 years ago, said: "David's win was terrific. "I've never doubted his ability and his performance at Silverstone definitely makes him one of the contenders for the championship." Reader Opinion |

September 17, 2007
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 10 -- In the face of unprecedented infrastructure complexity, the relentless proliferation of disparate storage arrays and corporate edicts to reduce carbon output worldwide, Hitachi Data Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., today rounded out the industry's most comprehensive line of storage systems, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V series, to address these pressing issues. The all-new Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM is the world's first heterogeneous storage services platform that offers customers the operational, financial and environmental benefits of enterprise-class virtualization, thin provisioning and tiered storage in a package that does not require a raised floor data center and operates on an industry standard 220-volt power supply.
The popularity and growth of storage networks combined with merger and acquisition activity has left many organizations with a sea of incompatible storage arrays distributed across multiple locations. Many customers also struggle with a complex assortment of software license schemes from different vendors, expensive capacity-based tier one licensing policies, and a server infrastructure that is both underutilized and unable to get to required data easily. The Universal Storage Platform VM joins the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V as the industry's most complete enterprise-class platforms developed explicitly to address these vital concerns.
"SAN silos have crept into the data center making storage management and provisioning onerous for many organizations," said Dave Vellante, CEO of leading CIO consultancy ITCentrix. "Storage migrations in particular are expensive and disruptive. Our independent analysis confirms that for every dollar spent on array hardware and software, an additional 50 cents is spent on incremental migration costs over the life of an array. Approaches like Hitachi's USP VM can dramatically reduce this cost from 50 percent down to less than 10 percent through the combination of heterogeneous tiered storage support, virtualization and thin provisioning."
"We are witnessing a new Hitachi that is aggressively driving its storage virtualization leadership position through consistent innovation," said Tony Asaro, senior analyst with Enterprise Strategy Group. "The USP VM provides all of the advanced capabilities of its big brother, the USP V, but at a lower cost and smaller footprint. This new system allows smaller enterprises to package and deliver advanced virtualization, thin provisioning and business continuity storage services across heterogeneous file, object or block-based storage devices."
No Compromise Virtualized Tiered Storage
Building on the innovations introduced with the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform V, the new Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM is the only virtualization platform that offers enterprises of any size the opportunity to take back control of heterogeneous storage assets without introducing the reliability and scalability drawbacks of virtualization appliances.
Customer strategies to grapple with the challenges of reigning in sprawling storage infrastructure include:
"Customers are finding these strategies require tradeoffs with competitive solutions on the market today," said John Mansfield, senior vice president of global solutions strategy and development at Hitachi Data Systems. "Virtualization appliances, while supporting heterogeneous storage assets, struggle to provide the scalability and reliability needed to support tier one applications. Some storage arrays sometimes provide thin provisioning and in-box tiering; however they don't support the cross-tier management of heterogeneous assets. The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM provides the performance, reliability and architecture, with thin provisioning, to virtualize all datacenter storage assets cost effectively."
"Hitachi views virtualization as an enabler for heterogeneous shared storage functionality across the storage infrastructure," said Carl Greiner, senior vice president of infrastructure for OVUM. "Other storage solutions don't allow for the true integration of mainframe and open systems in a shared environment. Only through a common storage services infrastructure can customers obtain the economies they are truly looking for."
Introducing the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM
As a core part of Hitachi Services Oriented Storage Solutions, the Universal Storage Platform VM enables smaller enterprises to package and deliver common storage services such as virtualization, thin provisioning, and business continuity across heterogeneous storage assets, whether file, object or block-based. The Universal Storage Platform VM delivers all of the advanced storage services available in the Hitachi flagship storage solution, the Universal Storage Platform V.
"The USP VM leads the industry from every aspect: functionality, scalability, connectivity, serviceability, ease-of-use, and availability," said Josh Krischer, founder of Josh Krischer & Associates, a leading storage research firm. "The USP VM deserves to be in a class of its own as its two closest competitors -- the EMC Symmetrix DMX-4 950 and IBM's DS6800 -- cannot match the impressive specifications of the USP VM. Clearly, Hitachi's innovation engine is moving the company further ahead of competitors in entry-level enterprise-class storage technologies."
Today, Hitachi is introducing:
- Storage controller and high performance disk storage for mixed application environments.
- Storage controller only for virtualization services.
"The USP VM puts Hitachi's unique Services Oriented Storage platform based on the USP V within the financial reach of small to medium-sized enterprises," said John Webster, principal IT adviser at Illuminata. "This announcement should be of particular interest to SME users who now plan the migrate from a networked server environment to a virtualized server and storage environment, or to small to medium-sized mainframe users who are ready to upgrade to virtualized storage."
World's Only Heterogeneous, Nondisruptive Data Migration Solution
Leveraging the worldwide success of the Hitachi large scale, heterogeneous storage virtualization layer, the Universal Storage Platform VM enables non-disruptive heterogeneous data migration in Windows, Linux, UNIX and mainframe environments. Unlike competitive offerings that rely on host-based replication software for data migration, the Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM utilizes sophisticated virtualization services to elegantly transfer data without any impact to critical applications or requiring system reboots. Ideally suited for migrating data from storage systems reaching the end of their useful/environmental lives, to new storage systems added to the data center or for load balancing purposes to improve application performance, Hitachi enables customers to migrate data in heterogeneous environments without risk.
"We are providing customers with the ultimate in tiered storage flexibility with the Universal Storage Platform V series," said Claus Mikkelsen, chief scientist at Hitachi Data Systems. "The Universal Storage Platform V series is available in several configurations, ranging from a disk-less enterprise virtualization controller to our flagship multi-cabinet configurations that support a nearly infinite pool of virtualized storage. Hitachi is effectively empowering customers to select an Intelligent Virtual Storage Controller and match it to any type of disk media. With the introduction of the Universal Storage Platform VM, we are truly lowering the cost of entry to obtain common enterprise-class storage services across heterogeneous storage assets."
The disk-less Universal Storage Platform VM for smaller enterprises completely separates the commodity media (disks) from the innovation (intelligent control unit) required to provide storage, data and content services. This enables customers to invest in the most valuable part of the storage system, an integrated, intelligent controller, and obtain all of the latest functionality for their existing storage assets without being forced to buy more capacity.
Hitachi Increases the Green Quotient for Storage
With global energy costs rising and looming energy surcharges, green storage solutions are rapidly becoming a top business concern and companies are demanding more efficient power consumption and capacity utilization tools. The new Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM enables customers to increase their Green Quotient (GQ) by a significant factor, through the deployment of large-scale, enterprise-class virtualization for massive consolidation; thin provisioning to increase utilization rates and reduce power, cooling, and space costs by reducing the number of physical disks required to support workloads; all with a virtual controller that plugs into a standard wall outlet.
The Hitachi Universal Storage Platform VM further supports the reduction in heat output and power consumption by dramatically compressing the time to provision new arrays and/or migrate capacity from many months down to weeks or days, meaning older, less efficient capacity is replaced sooner by greener storage.
"As a core part of Hitachi, Ltd., we are proud to say that our parent company has established an environmental management system for the entire Hitachi Group based on the ISO 14001 International Standard," said Minoru Kosuge, CEO of Hitachi Data Systems. "Hitachi has also achieved a green supplier ratio of 100 percent and established 'Super Eco Factories,' factories that utilize industry-leading environmental protection systems. Hitachi was the first storage vendor to be fully RoHS compliant and with the Universal Storage Platform VM, Hitachi continues to lead the charge towards a clean, green generation of computing solutions."

Arthur and Janet Ross Conifer Arboretum
Year RoundSet on rolling lawns and amid dramatic exposed rock, the historic Arthur and Janet Ross Conifer Arboretum features towering pines, elegant spruces, and mountain firs.
These irreplaceable trees that surround the Conservatory were among the first planted at the Garden, back in the early 1900s. Truly spectacular after a snowfall, and when the interspersed cherry trees add bursts of pink in the spring, it is a place where you can begin to learn about the diversity of the world's trees. This majestic collection evokes the alpine forests of the American west, the windswept shores of Japan, and the boreal forests of Alaska.

AmericaSpeaking Out has been a GOP success this year and Forbes is taking notice. The web site is a forum for Americans to speak out online when they can't do it in person. Read an excerpt for the Forbes piece:
While the Tea Partiers may be getting some of the worst press coverage these days on Youtube, not all right-wingers are marching on D.C. with lawn chairs and poorly typographed signs in tow – many seem to be opining in the 21st century way, through social media, of course.
Spearheaded by Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R- Calif.), America Speaking Out acts as sounding board for the GOP members who can't make it to the capitol to vent their frustrations. Users are encouraged to offer "solutions for discussion" by posting their ideas in one of five forum categories, most of which fall under classically conservative ideals (National Security and Fiscal Accountability are particularly popular). Once an idea is proposed, site visitors can give it a thumbs up or down (or rather, they decide whether they digg it or not), and the idea either rises to the top with the momentum gained (Reddit much, anyone?), or falls off the radar with little attention.

Actually, there is a coating that is applied by Corning to the Gorilla Glass if the company designing the device requests it.
Corning Gorilla Glass - Characteristics: "Easy-to-clean, wear-resistant coating: Customers can request Gorilla Glass with a special coating, making it easier to clean than other cover glasses – a perfect feature for touch devices."
Corning Gorilla Glass - Customization: "Easy-to-clean: Fingerprints and smudges can be a problem with touch devices, but Gorilla Glass offers a coating that is easier to clean than other cover glasses – perfect for touch screens and handhelds."
Most phones and tablets with Gorilla Glass have this coating, which is applied in addition to the process of manufacturing the glass that you detailed. The scratches that people see on the screen tend to be in this applied coating rather than on the glass.

i'm kinda, deeply in love with this tape. very nice Jojo.
By: Sarah Hepola
Salon, July 23, 2012It was three months into my solo road trip when I grew genuinely scared. I'd been pitching my tent across the country, but I had rolled into Bar Harbor, Maine, on July 4 only to discover all the campgrounds and hotels were full. Wouldn't you know: The grand celebration of our freedom left me with nowhere to stay. So I parked my car in Acadia National Park, because I figured serial killers wouldn't bother with the entrance fee, and I curled up in the backseat with the only protection I had: A ball peen hammer, and a teddy bear.
Yes, I carried a teddy bear with me on my swashbuckling Jack Kerouac adventure. It was a gift from my high school boyfriend, and it reminded me of being loved, and I had dragged it along the ground of the previous decade, across college and my first career and various romantic disappointments. That bear was a kind of battle armor, even as it squished up against my face.
And I needed it that night, because my mind was a haunted house of broken glass and men in ski masks lurching from the shadows. There were so many reasons to be frightened while traveling alone – 18-wheelers, lightning storms, roadside motels that reeked of death – but the most formidable was my own imagination. I told myself I'd be fine, that no one would find me here, but I was wrong, because I was startled awake by a flashlight flooding the window at 3 a.m.
"Ma'am, you can't sleep here," said the park ranger. I tumbled out of the car, barefoot, and how strange I must have looked to him: the ball peen hammer swinging from one hand, the teddy bear from the other. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see his face, a mixture of amusement and disbelief. What the hell are you doing here?
The truth was, I didn't know.
At the age of 27, I got in my aquamarine Honda and drove 26,000 miles around the country for five months by myself. It was foolish and lonely and 10 years later, I still think it might be the best thing I've ever done. I wore clothes till they were filthy and lived on baked beans and peanut butter, but the luxury of that time is unimaginable to me now, because I woke up every morning with no one's agenda but my own. What did I want to see today? Where did I want to go?
I've been thinking about that trip recently, because I've been reading Cheryl Strayed's "Wild," an account of her foolish and lonely solo walk along the Pacific Crest Trail at the age of 26. As far as feats of fortitude go, Strayed blows me out of the water. She loses her toenails. She swallows her own mother's ashes. Meanwhile, I visited the Cereal Museum at the Mall of America (and I highly recommend it).
what would 90's Nia Long do?
today was much needed.
people will only do to you as much as you allow them. take control. focus on the betterment your person. make the best possible decisions for yourself.
then allow yourself to be molded into something beautiful.
I can feel it. i'm well on my way… at His heels. (exhale)
this hurts my heart.
Do you know what FGM is? Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a hellacious practice in which at least 150 million women and girls in Africa, Asia, Europe, Australia and, yes, America are horribly mutilated. (In case you didn't know, it, the operation is performed on 6,000 girls in America every day.) The issue was recently brought to my attention at a screening of Desert Flower which is set to open in movie theaters soon. (Watch the trailer of the film.)
Female Genital Mutilation (also known as female circumcision or cutting) is a destructive procedure in which a female's external genitalia are partly or entirely removed or injured in order to inhibit a woman's sexual feelings. A professional female circumciser or a traditional midwife usually performs FGM, though a healer, barber, nurse or doctor trained in Western medicine occasionally performs it. The procedure is usually performed without anesthesia under catastrophic hygienic circumstances. Some of the instruments used to perform the procedure are knives, scissors, razor blades or pieces of broken glass.
The mutilation is most often performed before puberty, often on girls between the age of four and eight, but recently it has been increasingly performed on girls only a couple of days, weeks or months old. After, the remaining parts of the outer lips are sewn together leaving a small hole for urine and menstrual flow. The scar is opened before intercourse or giving birth, which causes additional pain.
In many countries, girls who don't have the operation are ostracized, kicked out of their village, and may not get married. Many subjected to this cruel mutilation either bleed to death or die from infections after the cutting. For the last few decades, the World Health Organization (WHO) has made numerous efforts to end FGM. The United Nations has declared February 6 as "International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation. But the most active voice protesting FGM is Waris Dirie, whose first name means "desert flower," and whose book, Desert Flower: The Extraordinary Journey of a Desert Nomad (which became a bestseller and to date has sold 11 million copies) and is the book on which the movie is based. The movie was written and directed by Sherry Hormann, produced by Peter Herrmann, and stars top New York model Liya Kebede.
Desert Flower is the true story of Waris Dirie, a young girl whose mother tried to force her to marry a much older man at the age of 13, so she ran away and managed to find a job in London as a maid in Somalia's Embassy. When she was 18, a regime change forced her onto London's streets and from there, as a cleaning lady in a London fast food restaurant, where she was discovered by a famous British fashion photographer and soon after became an international top model. But Waris Dirie did not rest on her laurels; instead, she used her fame to fight against the cultural traditions and poverty that forced her to run away from her home and family. She has created The Desert Flower Foundation, hoping to end the crime of FGM by raising public awareness, organizing events and educational programs, and supporting victims of FGM.
From the Somali desert to the world's catwalks, Waris Dirie's story is dramatized in the movie Desert Flower, a story which I hope will impel you to take action. The movie shows the incredible journey of a young girl's nomadic life in the deserts of Somalia to a supermodel strutting on the world's most famous catwalks. In New York, at the peak of Waris' career, she is interviewed by a magazine editor who asks Waris to speak about the day that changed her life, fully expecting Waris to answer that it was the day she was discovered by the famous photographer in the fast food restaurant. But instead, Waris says the day that changed her life was the day she was five and had to suffer Female Genital Mutilation. This public acknowledgment is the beginning of Waris Dirie's role as an activist. For the past twelve years, since that interview, Waris has spoken out about this archaic ritual, has founded The Desert Flower Foundation, and dedicates her life to fighting against FGM. Make sure you see this movie when it is released in your neighborhood. And in the meantime, help end this cruel practice.

Herman Cain spent Monday trying to put out a fire that started when it was discovered that two previous coworkers had accused him of inappropriate, sexually suggestive behavior.
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP
It's one of the starkest tests of viability for any presidential candidate: crisis management, the ability to step past an explosive charge and re-direct the news. Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain, a relative newcomer to national politics, had trouble passing Monday during a whirlwind of speeches and interviews in the shadow of sexual harassment allegations.
"I'll never know why Jesus came to love me so," Cain crooned at the invitation of the event's moderator in closing Monday's National Press Club appearance. "He looked beyond all my faults and saw my needs."
It was a dramatic counterpoint to the rest of Cain's day in Washington, which he largely spent denying that he had sexually harassed anyone and calling any such reports "a witch hunt."
Politico reported Sunday that the National Restaurant Association gave financial settlements to at least two female employees who worked for Cain and had accused him of inappropriate, sexually suggestive behavior when he headed the trade group.

Nike Dunk High 'Galaxy' Gas Mask By Freehand Profit
April 2nd, 2012 by John Kim | 32 comments
Let's be real here: nobody in their right mind is going to dismantle a pair of Galaxy Foamposites! But luckily the, the Rogue Green colorway of the Dunk High makes for a perfect gas mask, and so Freehand Profit, maker of these funky sneaker mash concoctions, had his way with pair of Galaxy Dunk Highs, using the Galaxy-lined interior at the nose of the mask for that tiny hint of outer-space flair. This particular piece of work by Freehand Profit will be in a special exhibition titled 'Crossing The Line' held at the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art +Design, part of a series of alumni-created artwork from the past five decades of the school's history. You can see this mask alongside two of his other masterpieces on display, but if you can't be there in person, check out the gallery below.

You didn't answer the ansiaptm question correctly, your comment was not saved. Press "Back" and answer the question better.Just to be sure that your message won't be lost - copy it now to the clipboard. 搞得我很紧张来着.. 特地来留言测试一下下....果然..是啥子插件啊?压根都木有问题出来
His hairstyle and lgnteh of hair on video of interview and at the time he got passport is the same. So is his dress, same shirt, same necktie. I would guess the video was made on the same day.
Fresh and anybody that hates on them is jealous he a grown A%% man he bought he can burn em if he wants to
His work is impressive, and like all true art, completely useless. Props to him for managing to both piss people off AND make money of these masks.
Sneaker news u guys need to stop showing shit like this!! No one gives a fuck about gas mask!!!
u know that feeling when u get a new pair of kicks and u gotta smell em? Well...this answers all of your questions !
its this guys art form and his contribution to the sneaker culture, why bash what he likes to do? his masks look dope
This is one of the best Mask he's done so far. I C U. The Nike eye brows are hard foh. Water Tower YD, Soundcloud. com/watertowergang
Plainly put it is more art than it is about the shoes. Let's see what else he can craft from shoes. "CHALLONGE!!!!!!" {SANDMAN VOICE FROM COSBY SHOW}
This looks crazy. I would never wear one of these but he sells them for a good profit on eBay.
Seriously. Someone educate me on this guys obsession with gas mask. I don't get it, but they are interesting. I'd love to see him really piss off some folks and make a gas mask out of a pair of Galaxy Foamposities or even better a Michael Jordan autographed, game worn pair, #45 Space Jam XI's. That would really get some people riled up. LOL!
shut up dude! this isnt a contribution to sneaker culture... a sneaker is WORN, not cut up and torn up to make a mask? thats what u got paper and plastic for. smh
No they don't stupid, it's an abomination to the shoe culture. He's actually worst than a reseller because at least a reseller is selling you an actually product and not a shitty piece of crap like a gas mask. Where the f would you wear it and y?
i definitely feel you.. i seen another pic where he had a Black Cement 3 mask on smh... i cant see how it doesnt sting him inside just a LITTLE bit to cut up some DECENT, DOPE KICKS.
Same here I really don't understand it, I know he sells them on ebay for a nice piece of change. So I guess the real question is why would you buy this?
But he's rocking the same pair on his feet tho. Maybe this guy has so much money that cutting up a pair of kicks has no effect on his bank account. And if he's selling them and making money from it , y not? Honestly, I think this is dope to look at once in awhile. Nice job and those dunks are fire.

Congrats T-Bell. Acorn knocked me out in 4th place. We all had about 10K and I got dealt K6 in the BB. The blinds were $400/$800 and the SB (Acorn) raised it to $2k, which I called. The flop came out JQK rainbow and I went all-in. Unfortunately, SB called and had A8, cause the turn was a 10 and the River was a blank. I was about a 2:1 favorite, but got KO'ed by the straight. Good call/cards Acorn!! |
| ||||
Thanks, everybody. Even without the part about winning, that was so much fun! You guys are great to play with. It's really nice to play with serious players. And the chat was a hoot! I was cracking up half the time. NewAlf almost took me out early on. I had KK, and another K showed up on the board. But so did 3 hearts, and a straight possibility. He went all in, and I was torn. Was he full of it? Were my trip kings good? Or had he made the flush or straight? I folded. I have to go back and see if I made the right call. I never like to play too aggressive at first, but I kept getting the cards to do that. Then I hit a real lull in the middle of the game; nothing but rags. I got pretty worried a few times when I was waaaay down in chips. I thought the heads up portion would last longer than it did. I was surprised when it lasted about 2 hands, I think. I wasn't too keen on Q with a weak kicker. But it was good enough. I look forward to another enjoyable, exciting game next week, regardless of where I finish.
__________________ Be afraid. Be very afraid. |

Yeah I knew that I was beat but I had at least 7 outs so I just wanted to either take the chip lead or get out so I could go watch baseball, on any other day I probaly wouldnt make that call cause I dont think I was getting the odds.

The Christmas story, which is the story of the birth of Jesus Christ as told in the book of Matthew from the Bible, has been told in a variety of ways throughout many cultures and generations.
The Nazarene Church in Valley City is telling the story through the eighth annual ŌĆ£Journey Through ChristmasŌĆØ Dec. 13 and 14 from 7-9 p.m. The event depicts the Christmas story in six scenes with 30 costumed characters and live animals.

A brand-new Soap Box Derby Association is off to a flying start with the help of matching donations from the Dakota Plains and Land OŌĆÖ Lakes Cooperatives.

On Friday, area residents will have the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping while helping women in East Africa. The Asante Network, a charitable group that markets the crafts of several groups of African women, will hold a Bazaar Friday in the gift shop at the Sheyenne Care Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The bazaar will feature; textiles, including batiks and embroidered pieces that range from wall hangings to clothing and bedding; carvings; vividly colored beaded items including jewelry and household items; and hand woven baskets and mats in an array of colors.
The holiday season is well underway, and that means people are spending more time shopping. Dacotah Bank in Valley City hopes people in the area will support their local economy by buying their holiday gifts at stores in Valley City.
Dacotah Bank is teaming up with the Valley City Area Chamber of Commerce again this year for their campaign to push people to shop locally during the holiday season.
The campaign, which is now called ŌĆ£12 Days of Christmas,ŌĆØ starts Dec. 6 and is held every business day thereafter leading up to Christmas.
The Valley City Eagles Club is raising money to help pay medical bills for Paul Komrosky, who was burned in an October furnace explosion and fire in Eckelson, and to help replace items owned by the families of Paul and his brother, Jason Komrosky, that were destroyed in the fire.

Sign In | Register
Citizens of Tallahassee enjoy a high quality of life. From public safety to reliable utility services and everything in between, the City strives to maintain the highest caliber of service and keep its citizens at the heart of everything it does.
With so much sunshine, it's hard to stay put in Tallahassee! The City offers a wide variety of ways for its citizens to enjoy nature, build social networks and stay active throughout their lives.
The City of Tallahassee is focused on seeing the local economy thrive. Here you will find information on programs geared to small and big businesses alike, information on doing business with the City, employment opportunities within the organization and more.
The day-to-day operations of the City of Tallahassee are as diverse as its citizenry. It is responsible for a variety of infrastructure as well as quality of life amenities. Be it a road project or budget report, the City strives to keep citizens as informed and involved as possible.
The mission of the City of Tallahassee is to provide excellent services and facilities to support a high quality of life for the community.
The City of Tallahassee is the seat of and only incorporated municipality within Leon County. It is the capital of Florida and home to two state universities.
Even though the City Commission approved the project on April 11, 2012, planning began much earlier with stakeholders.
In 2004, the City Commission approved a Chapter 163 Development Agreement with Regional Center, LLC. The Agreement stipulated that, in exchange for the donation of right-of-way by Regional to the City for the construction of the Welaunee Boulevard Extension, the City agreed to construct certain traffic mitigation projects resulting from the development. One of the identified projects was the improvement of the intersection of Fleischmann Road and Miccosukee Road. Under current conditions, this intersection is deficient; it operates at the adopted Level of Service (LOS) D. Improving this intersection is essential to raising the LOS to the community acceptable level. The proposed intersection improvement would enhance both emergency and non-emergency vehicle access to a major medical center complex, Capital Regional Medical Center. Additionally, it would serve to enhance transportation access to several major proposed development projects located less than one mile from the intersection.
The City sought and received public input for the intersection improvement. In addition, the City's Engineering staff met with Leon County Engineering staff on several occasions to discuss the proposed improvements. The meetings served to exchange information and solicit input on alternate intersection alignments.
The City's Engineering staff met with the Tallahassee-Leon County Canopy Road Citizen's Committee (CRCC) several times, which culminated in a positive recommendation at the CRCC's last meeting on March 7, 2012. The large roundabout was documented as their preferred option.
Permitting for this project includes construction in both the City's and County's permitting jurisdictions, with the majority of the roundabout being located within the City's jurisdiction. (See the Leon County Commission agenda for April 10, 2012, for more information.)

My girlfriend has always wanted a pair of Christian Louboutins (which I had to Google to find out what they were). After coming round from the shock of the price, I've started saving. I'm hoping to have £350 in time for her birthday, but which ones should I choose? Robert Pastore
I would go for a classic style that is full of gilt-edged (and red-soled) Louboutin loveliness - these black courts will come in just under budget. For the rest of you with boyfriends not quite so perfect, I've also suggested a pair of Louboutin-inspired shoes from the high street.
Patent courts, £330, Christian Louboutin (020 7491 0033)

This is a bit different than the do nothing thread. I still have a yearning to have a relaxed Saturday morning, afternoon or Sunday but being at home it appears that there is just NEVER a down time. I only have 2 kids, so I can't imagine more... both of mine are under 5 so they still can't do hardly anything for themselves. On top of that, my oldest has food allergies, so we are trying to heal him through the GAPS diet and I homemake every meal. So between those things and having a tendency to overwork myself anyway, I don't know when to have down time. I really desire this with my husband too - separately and as a family. Usually we tag-team household duties and kids so we almost never spend time ALL together.
Ideas? We have said we'd do a semi-traditional kids Saturday morning vegging in front of the tv. But sometimes it just doesn't work (mostly me being pulled away to finish the wash or do something to be prepped for the next meal or snacks, all of this being necessary otherwise we won't have eats or clothes to wear the next day at church).
We do the family Saturday morning once a month due to other obligations. And we try to have a date night (usually a game or video) every Friday, although that doesn't happen all the time either.
Do you do something to relax together?

Under the captaincy of the charasmatic Shane Warne, Rajasthan Royals won the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League in 2008. Owned and chaired by Manoj Badale, other investors in Rajasthan Royals include Lachlan Murdoch, Aditya S Chellaram, Suresh Chellaram, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra. Though they won the maiden edition, Rajasthan Royals failed to make it to the semifinals in 2009 losing their last two matches against Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders. In the third edition of the IPL, Rajasthan Royals suffered a three-match losing streak at the start of the tournament. Though they won four matches in a row after that, they were knocked out of the tournament after a defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their final league match. In 2010, Rajasthan Royals were terminated by BCCI for a brief period for violations but were allowed to play in the league soon after the board lost the case in the Supreme Court. Rajasthan Royals won their first two matches in IPL 4, but then lost two consecutive matches to Kolkata Knight Riders. Their next match against Royal Challengers Bangalore was abandoned due to rain and then they lost their next match to Kings XI Punjab. Rajasthan Royals then won their next three matches but lost four matches on the trot after that to be kicked out of IPL 4. But Rajasthan Royals thrashed Mumbai Indians by 10 wickets in their last league match to give Warne a fitting farewell.

Not feeling Lakers-Celtics in Finals
The end of the wildest and best NBA regular season that I can remember feels like a poker game.
Everyone's bluffing.
The San Antonio Spurs visited the Staples Center on Tuesday night, declined to dress Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili and strapped Tony Parker to the bench.
We say Derrick Rose deserves the award this season, but there were other worthy candidates. Our top 10.Gregg Popovich would like us to believe he's unconcerned with home-court advantage in the Finals. If the Bulls want it, Pop is content to let them grab it.
Meanwhile, the defending-champion Lakers must be trying to convince the rest of the league they're no real threat to three-peat. How else can you explain their five-game losing streak heading into Tuesday's regular-season penultimate contest?
Looking east, the Shaq-less Celtics conceded the two seed to Miami and have appeared rather helpless for three weeks. And the Heat? Well, they're once again looking like tough guys intent on living up to the hype of the Big Three.
The playoffs, which start this weekend, might as well be the NCAA tournament. Even in a seven-game series, absolutely anything can happen this year.
With that in mind, I'm going to rank my title contenders from one to eight.
1. Chicago: Why doubt the Bulls? You can argue they won't have enough offense, but I contend no team can match their drive, focus and determination. Derrick Rose's squad has simply displayed more want-to than the rest of the league. While the Heat, Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks and Celtics have displayed troubling bouts of inconsistency, Chicago has never lost more than two games in a row this season. From Day 1, the Bulls have wanted to be the best. Rose and Joakim Noah had the courage to dislike LeBron James before it was cool. They'd love nothing more than to ruin the season of the Big Three.
2. Oklahoma City: The Thunder are my "sexy" pick. They remind me of what we thought the Celtics were — only much younger. The Kendrick Perkins acquisition makes OKC potentially the best defensive team in the postseason. The Thunder are long, strong and athletic. Kevin Durant can score enough to compensate for the loss of Jeff Green. Russell Westbrook is my only real concern. His decision-making can still be very suspect. I think he matures during these playoffs and makes just enough smart plays to get OKC to the finals.
3. Miami: Best-kept secret this season Dwyane Wade has been every bit as good as LeBron. That is in no way a knock on James. Wade has been spectacular. He's shooting a career-best 50 percent from the field. He gets to the cup in the halfcourt offense better than any player in the league. My MVP ballot: 1. Rose; 2. James; 3. Wade. The Heat have two of the three best players in the league this season. That gives them a great chance to win it all this season. I just don't see them getting past Chicago. Miami's role players disappear too often.
4. Dallas: I'm the only idiot left who still believes in the Mavericks. I love Tyson Chandler. Put Chandler on the Heat and Miami wins it all. Chandler rebounds, dunks and defends. That's what I want from my big man. Dirk Nowitzki can still score in the fourth quarter. Jason Terry is clutch. Early in the year, Dallas was my pick to win the whole thing. Like every team except Chicago, the Mavericks went through a lull. Maybe Dallas will get hot again.
5. Boston: The whole second half of the season, I've believed Shaquille O'Neal was sandbagging. When Danny Ainge traded Kendrick Perkins, I assumed Doc Rivers was resting Shaq until the playoffs. I no longer believe that. The Diesel's body is apparently out of gas. He's filled up his tank with too many Wendy's triple cheeseburgers over the years. He didn't take care of himself. Shaq is no Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Shaq gave the Celtics a swagger. He was good for only 20 minutes, but his six fouls took a toll on the opposition, and he could occasionally put up 15 points and 10 boards. You can't win a championship with Nenad Krstic and Jermaine O'Neal, can you?
6. Los Angeles: This is the second time this season I've written off Kobe Bryant and the Lakers. I called Kobe "thirsty" after the All-Star Game and swore he was done. The Lake Show ripped off 17 victories in 18 games. What to believe? Andrew Bynum hyperextended his knee in Tuesday's game. I believe the Lakers are too old to get through what will be a very difficult Western Conference playoffs. No way.
7. San Antonio: I'm going to regret doubting the Spurs. I'm going to look really stupid. I just don't see the necessary size to get past any of the Western Conference contenders. The Spurs are the pretenders some people think the Bulls are.
8. Denver: The Nuggets, the five seed in the West, are going to make life miserable for some unlucky team in the first round. I hope OKC avoids the four slot. If Denver gets out of the opening round and puts on a Cinderella slipper, George Karl's bunch might ride the wave all the way to the Finals.
Yep, I don't see the Orlando Magic as a title threat. Dwight Howard is still immature. Stan Van Gundy is still a suspect coach. And I'm still pissed Jameer Nelson was inserted into the lineup during the 2009 NBA Finals.
