Teenage depression isn't just bad moods and occasional melancholy—it's a serious problem that impacts every aspect of a teen's life. Teen depression can lead to problems at home and school, drug abuse, self-loathing—even violence or suicide. But as a concerned parent, teacher, or friend, there are many ways you can help. Talking about the problem and offering support can go a long way toward getting your teenager back on track.
There are as many misconceptions about teen depression as there are about teenagers in general. Yes, the teen years are tough, but most teens balance the requisite angst with good friendships, success in school or outside activities, and the development of a strong sense of self.
Occasional bad moods or acting out is to be expected, but depression is something different. Depression can destroy the very essence of a teenager's personality, causing an overwhelming sense of sadness, despair, or anger.
Whether the incidence of teen depression is actually increasing, or we're just becoming more aware of it, the fact remains that depression strikes teenagers far more often than most people think. And although depression is highly treatable, experts say only 1 in 5 depressed teens receive help. Unlike adults, who have the ability to seek assistance on their own, teenagers usually must rely on parents, teachers, or other caregivers to recognize their suffering and get them the treatment they need. So if you have an adolescent in your life, it's important to learn what teen depression looks like and what to do if you spot the warning signs.
Teenagers face a host of pressures, from the changes of puberty to questions about who they are and where they fit in. The natural transition from child to adult can also bring parental conflict as teens start to assert their independence. With all this drama, it isn't always easy to differentiate between depression and normal teenage moodiness. Making things even more complicated, teens with depression do not necessarily appear sad, nor do they always withdraw from others. For some depressed teens, symptoms of irritability, aggression, and rage are more prominent.
If you're unsure if an adolescent in your life is depressed or just "being a teenager," consider how long the symptoms have been present, how severe they are, and how different the teen is acting from his or her usual self. While some "growing pains" are to be expected as teenagers grapple with the challenges of growing up, dramatic, long-lasting changes in personality, mood, or behavior are red flags of a deeper problem.

Seminary students are church leaders in training. As a student in Calvin's pre-seminary program, you'll take courses to prepare you for any number of seminary programs nationwide.
The pre-seminary program at Calvin is a series of classes in English, speech, philosophy, psychology, history, Greek and sociology designed for students who are interested in pursuing ordained ministry. This program can be paired with any major at Calvin, as most seminaries receive graduates from a variety of fields and academic interests. Recent graduates of Calvin's pre-seminary program have gone to some of the most prestigious schools in the country, including Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Duke and Fuller.
Careers in Pre-Seminary
- Religion Professor or Teacher
- Missionary
- Pastor
- Youth Minister
- Author
See job placement rates for Calvin grads.
Student involvement
Attend the annual Seminary Fair to investigate schools from a wide variety of denominations and traditions; complete a 10-week internship as a Jubilee Fellow; join in department-wide events like lectures and seminars.

Course Requirements 2013-14
The department of congregational and ministry studies (CMS) serves as the home of the pre-ministry advising program. A team of advisors connected to this department is committed to guiding students through the process of discerning a call to ministry by means of one-on-one conversations and occasional events and programs held throughout the year. Students interested in ministry should direct any questions to one of the following advisors:
- M. Lundberg (religion and adjunct CMS), coordinator of pre-ministry advising and primary pre-seminary advisor
- T. Cioffi, director of the Jubilee Fellows program
- L. Barger Elliott, professor of youth ministry
- M. Hulst, college chaplain
- J. Witvliet, director of the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship
The Association of Theological Schools (ATS) recommends that pre-seminary students develop the ability to think carefully, communicate clearly, and do independent research. Pre-seminary students should also learn about human culture and society, and may find it useful to develop proficiency in biblical languages, Latin, and modern languages. Due to differing expectations from different seminaries, the college has no formal program of pre-seminary study, but rather presents a series of suggested courses that students can consider in consultation with the college?s pre-seminary advisors. Pre-seminary students should consult the catalogs of the particular seminaries that they are considering attending for the specific admission requirements of those schools.
Because many Calvin students choose to attend Calvin Theological Seminary, and because of the close relationship between the two institutions, the admission requirements of the seminary are included here as an example of typical seminary admissions expectations: Students must meet all of the college?s requirements for a bachelor?s degree, as well as the admissions requirements of the seminary, including a minimum GPA of 2.67. Calvin Theological Seminary recommends that pre-seminary students emphasize the following areas of study: classical civilization, English, Greek, history, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and theology.
Calvin Seminary?s master of divinity (MDiv) program prepares persons for ordained ministry. To enter the MDiv program, pre-seminary students should complete the following courses:
- At least two semester length courses in English (including literature), history, philosophy (preferably history of philosophy), natural science, social science, and speech
- Four semesters of Greek are encouraged.
- In order to fulfill these suggestions, Calvin students should include the following courses in their undergraduate programs:
- GREE-205 New Testament Greek: The Gospels
- GREE-206 New Testament Greek: The Epistles
- PHIL-251 History of Western Philosophy I
- PHIL-252 History of Western Philosophy II
- CAS-101 Oral Rhetoric
- CAS-200 Advanced Oral Rhetoric
- CAS-203 Introduction to Performance Studies (recommended)
- CAS-240 Group Communication (recommended)
Calvin Seminary's Master of Arts degrees (with concentrations in evangelism and mission, educational ministries, worship, pastoral care, youth and family ministries, and Bible & theology) prepare persons for leadership in various areas of church ministry. The seminary recommends that students take one college course each in English, literature, philosophy, and speech, as well as two each in history, natural science, and social science. In addition, for the MA in evangelism and missions, one college course is required in cultural anthropology; and for the MA in worship, two college courses are required in music or the arts.
Calvin Seminary's master of theological studies program provides a theological education that emphasizes vocational objectives for students who are not seeking ordination, as well as preparation for further academic study in Bible and theology. It is recommended that college students take at least two semester length courses each in English (including literature), history, philosophy, natural science, and social science. Four semesters of Greek are encouraged.

Twenty-five World War II veterans from Central Texas spent Wednesday touring Washington D.C.
Their veterans were able to travel to the nation's capital on Honor Flight Austin which transports veterans to D.C. to see the memorials dedicated to them.
The main stop on the first Honor Flight mission from Austin was the national World War II Memorial. While there, a brief ceremony was held in front of the section that honors the servicemen and women from the lone star state.
The ceremony was moving, but once again the veterans were emotionally surprised. Other visitors approached them to say thank you, to shake their hands and have their children take pictures with them.
"I never had that happen before, and uh it's just a different feeling," said Army Air Corps veteran John Hayes.
The tour includes several other stops like the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington national cemetery.

Since the construction started last fall the remodeling of the old Grand Center Hotel for New Ulm's new Grand Center For Arts and Culture has made a lot of progress. This 2.1 million dollar project includes a recording studio, a three–story elevator, and small studios for artists to work on their pieces. Executive director for the Grand Center for Arts and Culture Lisa Knaak says every community needs a place for art to thrive because it gives people a chance to connect in ways they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Knaak says, "Sometimes you'll draw towards a certain song or a certain painting because it connects you to a certain point in your life."
Knaak says the building will help nurture artists talents and give them a place to exhibit their work. Officials expect the renovations to be complete by this summer.

Long time archaeological riddle solved
07/02/2010 03:19
By JUDY SIEGEL-ITZKOVICH
Canaanite general was based in Wadi Ara.
Photo by: Moshe Einav/University of Haifa
The riddle of the identity of a 3,200-year-old round bronze tablet with a carved face of a woman has apparently been solved, 13 years after it was discovered at the El-ahwat excavation site between Katzir-Harish and Nahal Iron (Wadi Ara) by scientist Oren Cohen of the University of Haifa.
The small, broken-off piece of metal is probably part of a linchpin that held the wheel to a war chariot sent to battle by the Canaanite general Sisera against the Israelites, says Prof. Adam Zertal, who for 33 years has led weekly walks with university colleagues and volunteers over "every square meter" of Samaria and the Jordan Rift to search for archeological evidence from biblical times.
The round, bronze tablet, about 2 centimeters in diameter and 5 millimeters thick, features a carved face of a woman wearing a cap and earrings shaped as chariot wheels. It was found in a structure identified as the "Governor's House."
Cohen was unable to find its parallel in any other archeological discoveries. When carrying out a study on the walls of the Temple of Rameses III in Egypt of ancient reliefs depicting chariot battles, Cohen identified a unique decoration – the bronze linchpins fastening the chariot wheels were decorated with the faces of captives, foreigners and enemies of Egypt. He also noticed that these decorations characterized those chariots that were used by royalty and other dignitaries. Cohen found that the linchpin with the woman's face found near Katzir was almost identical to that found in the Egyptian temple.
The identification as a linchpin, Zertal said, reinforces the claim that a high-ranking Egyptian or local ruler was based at this location and is likely to support the theory that the site is Haroshet Hagoyim – the Canaanite base of Sisera, as mentioned in the fourth and fifth chapter of the Book of Judges, the 70-year archeologist told
The Jerusalem Post
on Thursday.
The Egyptians and Canaanites both created linchpins for chariots with the carved faces of their enemies; the place on the wheels were considered "very undignified," said Zertal, like the Jews putting Haman's name on the soles of their shoes for beating against the floor while the Book of Esther is read aloud.
The woman whose face is depicted on the linchpin found at the site was apparently a Hittite goddess; the Hittites were bitter enemies of the Egyptians. "So suddenly we realized that there was evidence of chariots from the head of the broken linchpin, which was found 10 centimeters underground in the large 'Governor's House' that overlooked the northern quarter, where a large number of chariots had apparently been parked," Zertal said.
The city's uniqueness – its fortifications, passageways in the walls and rounded huts uncovered in the Zertal digs – made it foreign amid the Canaanite landscape. Zertal has proposed that based on these unusual features, the site may have been home to the Shardana tribe of the Sea Peoples, who, according to some researchers, lived in Harosheth Haggoyim, Sisera's capital city.
The full excavation and its conclusions have been summarized in Zertal's 2010 Hebrew-language science-based novel,
Sisera's Secret, A Journey following the Sea-Peoples and the Song of Deborah
Sisera was the captain of the army of Yavin, king of Canaan. According to Judges 4:3, Sisera led an army of 900 iron chariots and oppressed the Israelites for two decades. Deborah the Prophetess, then leader of the Israelite tribes, persuaded Barak to face Sisera in battle. He led a force of 10,000 and destroyed the army of Sisera, whose origin was completely unknown. The battle, the Bible says, led to a 40-year peace.
After his defeat, Sisera fled to the tent of Hever the Kenite in the plain of Za'anaim, where Hever's wife, Yael, invited him inside and gave him milk to drink. This put him into a slumber; Yael – becoming the second heroine in the story after Deborah – quietly came close to him and pounded one of the tent pegs into his temple with a mallet, killing her enemy.
Zertal identified Sisera with the town of Sassari, arguing that he came from the people of Shardana – or Sardinia. "Sisera's name did not appear on any archeological findings in the Middle East. But we did research and found that in Sardinia, there is a city called Sassari. About a third of people's names in the world are based on the place their family come from. We believe that Sisera or his family came from Sassari. Sea peoples came to the Land of Israel from the sea. The Philistines were the most famous, but the Shardana people also arrived," Zertal said.
Eighteen years ago, said Zertal of the university's Zinman Institute of Archeology, "we discovered an unknown city near Katzir with a huge, six-meter-wide wall. We found corridors, which were unusual, and in 1995 reached the conclusion that the residents were foreigners and not natives. They established features from their native home, just as the Chinese in New York created Chinatown. Everything fit together," said Zertal, who noted that the area in Wadi Ara was very strategic, as it connected between Galilee and Samaria. "So the battle of Sisera and the Israelites was very important. But we had no visible signs where the Haroshet Hagoyim mentioned in the Bible as the place where the chariots left for battle actually was located."
The Haifa team wondered where the residents could have come from and realized that the Egyptian writing on the Temple of Rameses III in the 12th century BCE described his being a warrior who fought against Philistine and Shardana soldiers who wanted to capture Egypt. He was described as having constructed citadels, but archeologists were unable to find any.
Zertal noted that it was fortunate the site was not built on afterward, from after the battle until the modern age. "But Katzir had plans to expand into the area. That has been canceled, and we have built a fence. We want people to visit the site," he said.
The Haifa archeologist was raised at a Hashomer Hatzair kibbutz and severely wounded in the Yom Kippur War. "I spent a year at Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem, and I became interested in archeology. Although I had argued that the Bible was full of myths, I decided after my recovery to travel the land by foot to look for archeological evidence."
Zertal, who took the walks often using crutches from his decades-old injury, added: "I am a man of science and have to investigate whether what is described in the Bible suits the geography. Nobody thought there was an altar on Mount Ebal, but the evidence was found. It is not a legend. When you do archeological research as you should, you see a lot [of the biblical stories] is reality."

Bad news, War Gods fans - it looks like UFC veteran "Cabbage" Correira won't be headlining that May 30th show after all. The MMA Insider Blog reports: Wesley "Cabbage" Correira, who bailed on his recent fight in Fresno at the Ken Shamrock-promoted "War Gods," got a post-event present he probably didn't want. The UFC and Rumble on the Rock veteran's pre-fight drug test came back positive for marijuana, registering a staggering 700 ng/mL of the drug in his system. As [Assistant Executive Officer of the CSAC Bill] Douglas earlier told MMAInsider, "anything above 50 ng/mL is a truely active user." Correira's suspension is retroactive to the missed fight and runs until Aug. 12, 2009. He is also fined $1,000.
The California State Athletic Commission suspended Wesley "Cabbage" Correira last week for failing to satisfy a one-fight contract to face Buddy Clinton at a co-promoted Wargods and Ken Shamrock Productions event on Feb. 13 in Fresno, Calif. Correira (19-14) pulled out of the bout backstage at the Selland Arena an hour before his scheduled bout, he said after he learned the promotion would be cutting his fight purse in half to cover last-minute costs for his state-required medical tests. The 30-year-old Hawaiian known for his granite chin told Sherdog.com on Friday that he'd been issued a letter from the regulatory agency late last week, stating that he must hold up his end of an agreement he signed with the California-based promotion before he would be licensed to fight anywhere else in the state again. A Wargods representative said the four-time UFC veteran will be asked to headline the promotion's next event on May 30 in San Diego, though Correira was slated to face Lavar Johnson for the vacant Palace Fighting Championship heavyweight title on May 8 in Lemoore, Calif. PFC promoter Christian Printup could not be immediately reached for comment, though the event is held on sovereign land and not overseen by the CSAC. from Sherdog

Jeff Pelzl, vice president worldwide service for lighting manufacturer High End Systems Inc., has been promoted to assume responsibility for worldwide sales, along with his current service role. Pelzl takes on the position held by Bill Morris, who leaves High End in late January. For the past 16 years, Pelzl has been supporting High End's customer base and is a familiar face and name to the entire industry.
HES CEO Frank Gordon comments, "Jeff is a natural for this job. He knows our technology, he knows the industry, but most importantly he knows our customers. For years, he has been an advocate for the customer and runs a very tight organization in terms of customer responsiveness."
Richard Belliveau, HES Co-Founder and CTO, adds, "Jeff brings a great deal to this sales role in terms of understanding the core of the customer business. He also understands the value of pursuing a technology leadership position and can help translate that to the end-user."
Pelzl takes over as VP worldwide sales effective immediately. HES also plans to hire a senior sales professional to help develop the audio-visual market segment and grow a parallel channel.
Pelzl comments, "I welcome the opportunity to continue working with our customer base in a new capacity. We definitely have the right combination to be successful. Our customers will be pleased with what's to come out of High End in the next year."
Departing VP of Sales Bill Morris leaves High End later in the month, returning to his consulting practice. Morris served High End in both a marketing and sales capacity and was instrumental in the company's rebound from the post millennium industry slump. "HES is now perfectly positioned for growth largely due to its strong, diverse product strategy and solid financial management practices," Morris says. "I feel good about handing over the sales team to Jeff and feel fortunate to have been part of High End's recovery and rejuvenation."

The first ultra of the season, The North Face TransGranCanaria, is a good warm up for runners who compete all year long on the ultra-marathon circuit. This race, which covers 123km and 5500m vertical gain, runs from north to south across the largest island of the archipelago. Although located at the same latitude as Morocco, the island is an unusual place where palm, date, and banana trees grow, and it's 25°C in the middle of February!
For the ninth edition, Sébastien Chaigneau – Petzl team member – won the race easily, crossing the island in 12 hours 54 minutes, and beating last year's record in spite of a longer and steeper racecourse.
A few words from Seb regarding race day on Saturday, March 3, 2012.
A quick overview of the racecourse?
« After the start at Playa del Inglès, you run for 5 kilometers through the sand dunes, then head up a river bed until you reach the 32 kilometer mark and the first water station. From there the real difficulties begin as the race enters the dry, steep mountains. It's actually a good thing that the race is at night, since temps can reach 20°C in the shade during the day... »
« The center of the island has very few inhabitants. You end up running across landscapes that seem straight out of a Sergio Leone film, with steep vertical walls and rock towers. Here the island's volcanic origins are obvious, a truly beautiful place to run through. The ascent tops out at Roque Nublo and Pico de las Nièves, typical features of the island. Then you start the descent towards Garañón and Teror before finally reaching the finish line in the capital city of Las Palmas, after having run 123 km and 5500 vertical meters. »
The race starts in the sand dunes of Playa del Inglés.
The view from Pico de las Nieves.
« The race is difficult as well as a challenge to manage, since you – at least the leaders - spend most of the time running through the night. It's very hot along the coast of the island, but much cooler in the center. Temps even dipped below freezing in the middle of the night. You have to deal with both the wetter sections of the race in the north, and the much drier, arid sections in the south, with rocky terrain, bushes and even cactus! »
How did the race go for you?
« At the 30 km mark there were four of us, including Mohamed Ansal, who has won the Marathon des Sables multiple times, Armando Teixeira, and last year's winner, Zigor Iturrieta. We had established a good tempo and were running well together. As soon as we hit the mountains, everyone ran at their own pace, and it turned out that I was running a little bit faster than the others. I tend to enjoy the more technical sections of a race, and the intense training I did during the winter, which included building muscle, clearly paid off during the race today. »
Seb's NAO headlamp lights up the way.
« At around 35 kilometers into the race, I placed my foot on an unstable rock and fell pretty hard, but luckily avoided hitting my head. When I got up my knee hurt and I could feel that my pelvis was out of place. Of course this kind of accident is part of the game otherwise I'd stick to running on roads and grass... (laughs). I ended up reaching Roque Nablo 30 minutes faster than last year, and I could see from afar that the sun was starting to rise just above the rocky tower. I continued on to Goleta, and getting there right at sunrise was definitely a magical experience... »
Sunrise over Roque Nublo.
At what point did you know that you had won the race?
« When I heard that I was 30 minutes ahead of the others with only 8 km left until the finish line... I tried not to think too much about it, focusing on the task at hand. As my trainer would say: stay in the here and now. The basic tenet for the mental aspect of this kind of challenge is to focus on the present, and to avoid projecting about what you think might happen later in the race. »
Seb explodes with joy as he crosses the finish line in Las Palmas.
How did the end of the race go for you?
« In general, the longer the race, the more time you take to enjoy the end. Your time, the results, where you placed…are really secondary to the overall experience. I do my best to pay attention to the people who cheer us on… They've made the effort to come to the race, and their cheering is genuine recognition. I try to be as receptive as possible to everyone's cheers, to recognize the effort they've made as well. Even at 4am in the morning, in San Bartolome, it was amazing to see how many people were out there watching! Proof that this race has generated quite a bit of enthusiasm, and that the locals are happy to see it take place on their island. »

I'm one of those people who can get absolutely no sleep during a full moon. I don't know why - some of my friends tell me it's because I'm a Cancer, others tell me it's simple physics. All I know is that there will be times when I will be exhausted and can't fall asleep to save my life. I'll finally get up and turn on the computer, check a lunar calendar and yup, full moon.
Are there any other believers out there of this? I know some people are highly skeptical and that's fine.

A contractor who was carjacked on the job Friday in South Fulton County tells FOX 5 he pleaded with the gunman to spare his life. Police say that's just one of two incidents involving the same gunman that took place in less than five minutes. FOX 5's Portia Bruner reports the contractor was painting a home in Riverdale around 10:30 a.m. when the armed man ambushed him from behind. Justin Garland, 26, says the man showed him a black revolver as he demanded his wallet and his cell phone. He said whatever he could to get the gunman to go away, telling the gunman, "Take everything." Garland says he tried to stay calm as he told the gunman about his two children. "He said, 'I respect you for that, I've got two kids too,'" Garland recalled.Garland says the man pulled his pants off of him as he was searching for the keys to his van. Once he found them, he took off. Garland says he didn't get a good look at the suspect. About five minutes earlier, police say a homeowner was painting the back deck of his home near Bethsaida Road and South Hills when the same man approached him. The homeowner was shot in the leg and taken to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he spent the day in surgery. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Improved condition for Bluffs woman injured in Wednesday rollover
A 32 year old Scottsbluff woman hospitalized after rolling her vehicle six times Wednesday night south of Mitchell has made a big improvement in her condition. Jacqueline Soto is reported in fair condition Friday morning at Regional West Medical Center. She was in critical condition Thursday following the accident.
Scotts Bluff County Sheriff Mark Overman says emergency personnel had to extricate Soto from her vehicle after Deputies found a 1997 Chevrolet Suburban upside down at the intersection of South Mitchell Road and Highway 92 shortly after 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
Overman says a witness indicated Soto's vehicle was eastbound on the highway when it ran off the road to the right, came back on the highway, crossed the center line and rolled six times, ending upside down on the highway.
Soto is facing drunk driving charges after the accident investigation showed evidence of drinking.

A bigger than expected pay bump could be on the way for teachers and state workers.
The first raise in six years for Virginia government employees is still being fought over in the Senate. The issue isn't the pay raise for teachers or state workers. Instead, Medicaid is turning into a major road block that could torpedo the pay hike plan.
The good news here is that both House and Senate committees voted for a pay raise. That has raised the chances for more money to come down the pike. Public school teachers, college faculty, and all state employees will be getting a 3 percent pay raise on average. The 3 percent raise for teachers is somewhat of a surprise after Governor Bob McDonnell originally proposed a 2 percent raise right before Christmas, but there will be drama this week that could put the Senate's pay raise plan in peril.
No democrats voted for the budget proposed by the Senate on Sunday, due to concerns that there will be no money to expand Medicaid in Virginia.
Governor McDonnell says that they can't spend more on Medicaid before it's reformed. Democrats say baby boomers are getting older and that money would go to the expansion of health care jobs.
We will found out on Tuesday if the passes or not.

Richmond Police need your help to identify a person of interest in several thefts at Stony Point Fashion Park.
Police are now investigating if the thefts could be part of a larger black market crime operation.
A display of Gucci sunglasses proved too tempting for a sticky-fingered thief at the Solstice store at Stony Point Fashion Park. The person of interest has an even more interesting blonde hairdo.
"And she is supposed to have a mohawk style where it is shaved on both sides," said Detective Charles Kane. "I think it is someone that you would recognize if you saw her in public or if you knew her. We just really would like to be able to identify her."
The first incident occurred at approximately 6:30 p.m. on April 11 at the Sunglasses Hut at Stony Point, when a woman stole six pairs of sunglasses by hiding them in her purse. Detectives believe a second woman who distracted the sales clerk may also be involved.
Then a week later at the Solstice Sunglasses at Stony Point, five pairs of sunglasses were stolen. The offenders are described as being in their late 20s to early 30s. Police say the high end shades total more than $3,000.
Police say a similar incident has happened at Short Pump Town Center. Detectives are investigating to see if the cases are related.
"It seems like they are going back and reselling these items somewhere," said Detective Kane.
Police note they have increased patrols at local malls.
"There is increased patrols out there at Stony Point and other places," said Detective Kane. "But we can't be everywhere all the time."
If you have any information about the case call crime stoppers at 780-1000. You can remain anonymous.

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has released a report regarding clothes dryer fires in residential buildings.
Between the years 2002-2004, an annual average of 12,700 clothes dryer fires occurred in residential buildings. These fires were responsible for an estimated 15 civilian fire deaths, 300 civilian fire injuries, and $88 million in property loss each year.
The report, Clothes Dryer Fires in Residential Buildings, was developed by the USFA's National Fire Data Center as part of its Topical Fire Research Series and is based on data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) for 2002-2004.
The report examines the characteristics of clothes dryer fires and provides recommendations for clothes dryer fire safety. To view this six page report:
NOTE: Just five days after this report was released, five Firefighters from LAFD's Second Battalion were injured while fiercely battling a residential structure fire sparked by a clothes dryer in Highland Park.

It's possibly the most under-reported crime in the country. But this month, victims advocacy groups are hoping to raise community awareness for sexual assault in the Black Hills. Staff at Working Against Violence Inc (WAVI) in Rapid City say they've seen a 60 percent increase in the number of people finding shelter and services within their walls. That higher number may not be all bad news. Staff say it's possible events like Tuesday's kick off of 'Sexual Assault Awareness Month' help connect people with resources they may otherwise be unaware of. Rapid City Police say sexual assault is a crime on the rise. Other believe the answer may lie in early education. "IN 2012, we had 102 reports of sexual assault throughout the year, so that equals about one report every three to four days," said Assistant Chief Karl Jegeris with the Rapid City Police Department. "I think we also need to catch kids quite a bit younger. Once they're in high school they have preconceived notions about how things are supposed to be and we're just hoping to educate them and let them know that that may not be the case," said Mary Corbine, Executive Director of WAVI. Roughly 25 percent of the women that find help at WAVI do not report their assault to the police.

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Just two days after the murder of University of Maryland Eastern Shore student Edmond St. Clair, Princess Anne police say another man was found dead in a residence on Beckford Avenue, not far from the UMES campus.
The cause of death and man's identity had not been confirmed at the time of this report, as police were waiting to notify next of kin, but law enforcement suspect the 20-something black male took his own life. Police were apparently able to identify the individual due to a relatively recent call he made, complaining about a civil dispute regarding property.
No foul play is suspected, and police do not believe this death had any connection to the murder on the campus of UMES.

Apparently this album started out as a solo project, but Woz decided the songs were really Marcy Playground songs, so he recorded them with the band. However it happened, it ended up being a good thing.
If you are already a Marcy Playground fan, you'll find this album to be very familiar. If you put it on shuffle play with Shapeshifter you might not be able to figure out which songs are off which album.
However, I think these songs may have the most depth of any of the Marcy Playgound work. I had it playing for several days in my car, and rather than getting bored, I got inspired to pull out my other Marcy CDs and start playing them again too.
This is good stuff, if you liked the previous albums. And hey, it's good stuff even if you never heard the previous albums. Enjoy.

City will turn Francisco Reservoir into a park, with no affordable housing
San Francisco is getting a new park – but the deal has left some wondering why a small portion of the new parkland couldn't have been set aside to build housing for teachers and firefighters.
On July 8 members of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission voted unanimously, amid a flurry of congratulatory exchanges, to transfer the Francisco Reservoir to the Recreation and Parks Department. Nearly everyone who weighed in during public comment praised the decision to convert the reservoir site into open space for the surrounding neighborhood. Located near Russian Hill on Hyde Street just above Bay Street, the Francisco Reservoir has gone unused for the better part of century.
One speaker did offer some balance. "We have the mayor and the Board of Supervisors constantly hitting us over the head saying we need housing," she pointed out. "We have to start somewhere."
Under city law, publicly owned "surplus property" – as the Francisco Reservoir is categorized – must be considered for affordable housing before city departments may let it go for any other use.
Yet during years of discussion between neighbors and city officials to discuss this 4-acre parcel, the idea of building affordable housing apparently didn't even receive minimal consideration.
Instead, the affluent neighbors wanted a park – and managed to raise nearly $10 million in private funding through several neighborhood associations to help make it happen. That money has been pledged for a park endowment, to cover development and maintenance purposes.
According to City Attorney spokesperson Matt Dorsey, the city's "enterprise agencies" are exempted from the affordable housing requirement in the surplus property ordinance – this applies to surplus parcels under the ownership of the Port, the SFPUC, the SFMTA, and the Recreation & Parks Department.
A memorandum of understanding approved by the SFPUC, which must win the approval of the Board of Supervisors and the mayor before being finalized, grants some $10 million from the Recreation and Park Department's open space fund to purchase the Francisco Reservoir from the SFPUC.
Open space is generally a wonderful amenity in an urban environment, particularly for land that hasn't been used in decades. As Jan Blum noted at the hearing, the parkland will provide environmental benefits such as "habitat for migratory birds, as well as local wildlife."
But the city's decision to convert surplus property to open space comes just as Mayor Ed Lee is seeking to build 30,000 new housing units to stem the affordability crisis.
John Stewart, a prominent affordable housing developer appointed to serve on Lee's affordable housing task force, told the Guardian that he got nowhere when proposing the idea of affordable housing construction for a small portion of the Francisco Reservoir parcel.
Stewart, who emphasized to the Bay Guardian that his company has no financial ties nor interest in developing a project there, penned an editorial for the San Francisco Business Times earlier this year on the Francisco Reservoir transfer, asking, "Why not expand the conversation to include the subject of housing?"
The idea was not well received. "I did not even propose tax-credit, tax-driven, very low income housing," Stewart noted. "I proposed moderate-income, for teachers and nurses."
The neighborhood plan showed the area at the end of the parcel, where Stewart thought housing could go, as a dog run.
Sup. Mark Farrell, who represents District 2, where Francisco Park would be located, was deeply involved in discussions about converting the reservior into a park. Farrell's office didn't return calls seeking comment, nor did the SFPUC.
"Sup. Farrell didn't want me speaking to these groups," Stewart said. "Nobody said, come by, come to our coffee klatch, make the case and we'll at least talk it over. Nobody wanted to discuss it – that was clear. There was polite silence. But there was silence," he said. "And their view is – and it's understandable – they really want to have the whole thing."
Um...there are about 1,400 uniformed firefighters in San Francisco and at least 1,000 of them take home over $100K a year with overtime. With no need to sock away much in their 401K.
Welcome to the SFBG. Where the trolls do much better research than the writers.
I'm a BANANA - Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anything.
I learned right here at the SFBG.
Even making that much, firefighters and other public servants can't afford a comfortable lifestyle in SF. That's why SF's situation is so out of control. Obviously.
If they can't afford SF they can do what other SFPD and firefighters do - move to Novato.
Uh...most of the people riding the Google bus don't make $100K.
A single person making $100K can do just fine in this city. Yes, if you want to raise a family here then it needs to be a two income family, just like it does in every other expensive city.
Lighten up progressives. This constantly outraged act is wearing thin. Never before has a group been this perpetually whiny and butt hurt about anything and everything. You're boring.
Great idea as usual, SFBG. Not.
All parks should have affordable housing projects.
Let's start with Yosemite.
When this housing is on the waterfront, the SFBG croud is up in arms with the local populace, supporting the wealthy couple Richard and barbara stewart in their quest to have all of SF affirm their living room view..
Now in Russian hill, without the financial support of the THD, this same paper is outraged that a park is going in instead of workforce housing.
give me a break.
Stewart's right. This neighborhood is fairly well-served by this kind of passive open space and housing is especially tight. Farrell was playing Pander Bear on this one.
community should decide such things, and they routinely oppose new housing.
So why can't Marina residents have the same right?
And we should be building more housing in the Mission too.
But my point was more that activists appear to oppose building new homes in poorer areas but want more density in more affluent areas. Why?
The SFBG deserves enormous credit for its thoughtful reporting on a topic that's largely being swept under the rug and badly needs some sunshine.
A group of VERY wealthy Russian Hill neighbors claim to have raised over $9M to acquire a vacant SFPUC property and preserve it as a park. They have always been adamantly opposed to new housing, especially the affordable type, being built in their neighborhoods. Worse, this neighborhood already has lots of very nice parks and open space, especially if the GGNRA is taken into account. There are many less affluent neighborhoods that could fairly claim a much higher need of parks.
What's NOT being discussed is: What is the true market value of this land? Second, who are the folks "committing" this money and how secure are their "pledges"? Third, isn't the SFPUC required to obtain the fair market value for the sale or transfer of public land Why are the City agencies involved and the supervisors not asking any questions? Finally, why is all this not open, public information??
If housing were considered as a use, the value of the property far exceeds the amount "pledged". This all has a stink that won't go away.
Is that it?
The people living in the Mission proposal would be unlikely to vote the Progressive line.
Next question.
This isn't either or, its both.
We just came up with a new mission statement: "Still not as white as the Marina, but we're trying."
nobody is allowed to say that because gays are another sacred cow of local politics.
Lee wants 30,000 more housing units on this already overcrowded peninsula called San Francisco. Is he out of his mind? or gettin donations from wealthy 'afordable housing" developers? plus sizable donations from the teachers, nurses and firefighters unions to provide them with subsidized housing in addtion to their high salaries, pensions and benefits, which most San Franciscans don't come close to making.
the same teachers whos union oppose cutting taxes and government fees on movie production in California and therefore screwing the many union memebrs who work in the movie industry, Many of who do not come close to making the salaries and benefits of teachers.
yep, another example of public employee unions screwing unions in the private sector. Unions working for the private sector can NOT give money to the people who aprove their contracts. But the public sector gives money to politicians and their apointees who aprove the outrageous public employee contracts, which is a reason state and local government is in the red.
It's important to look at the neighborhood layout by itself. As a Russian Hill resident, we really currently don't have enough parks, and we'd like one. And you can't hate us for wanting one.
The park should include 69 new solar housing units.
If it was solar housing, they could generate twice as much energy as they use, so they could feed energy onto the PG&E grid and make $100. / month income from solar.
That is what solar homes in Germany do.
Solar THERMAL for hot water, to run thru the floors for heating
& solar PV for lights, cooking and to charge their electric cars.

Rubberized asphalt has been used in this area before. County Roads used it to pave Page Mill the last time it was done. All the feedback they received was positive, as I recall.
on Apr 5, 2013 at 6:39 pm
This idea was proposed several years ago to help reduce road noise here in Palo Alto. The P/W Director of the time, Glenn Roberts, went to great ends to trash the idea--claiming that it was not cost effective, although he produced no evidence to that fact.
Well--let's see if the noise is actually reduced, and that the surface lasts longer than the material currently used. It's a shame that the P/W people have been so uninformed on so many of the areas they are tasked.
