Slavery is not a problem from days gone by.
"Human trafficking is one of the largest money generators for criminal activity worldwide," US Citizenship and Immigration Services' Scott Whelan said.
It is happening all the time: using people as property, selling women and children as sex slaves. Federal officials were here in Houston and are visiting other cities to put a stop to the kidnapping, the torturing, and the forcing of people to do things for money.
It is modern-day slavery and it is happening far more than you might think.
"It's one of the more heinous crimes that's out there," US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Richard Halverson said.
Sex and labor trafficking is one of the best and worst kept secrets. We may often come in contact with victims in public and have no idea.
"Human trafficking is an especially secretive crime. Traffickers program the victims to be fearful of law enforcement," Halverson said.
Victims are often forced to work as nannies, housekeepers, construction workers, waiters, and in other service-related positions. They never cry out for help.
"Some people are kept behind locked doors. Others are hidden in plain sight in restaurants, hotels, construction sites, nail salons and in our own neighborhoods," US Citizenship and Immigration Services' Sandra Heathman said.
"We all have to work at this together. Recognizing and reporting suspected cases of human trafficking can help the victims and bring the traffickers to justice," Halverson said.
US Citizenship and Immigration Services agents came to Houston to help train local law officers how to spot victims.
They are also spreading the word to get labor and sex slaves to understand they can escape their abusers. Help is available. In fact, citizenship and immigration visas are available for abuse victims under the "Violence against Women Act".
"This is important because the abusers often threaten to withhold legal immigration sponsorship as a tool of abuse," Whelan said.
These federal agents are trying to get word to trafficking victims to trust someone, speak up and get help.
"If you suspect someone is a victim of trafficking, immediately alert law enforcement at 911," Whelan said.
The federal agents also want domestic and sex slaves to know two more important options are available to them. Trafficking victims may qualify to stay in the country with a T-Visa. U-Visas are available to immigrants who are victims of other crimes.
You can call the ICE hotline 24 hours a day at 866-347-2423. If you are an immigrant wanting to escape abuse you may also call US Citizenship and Immigration Services at 1-888-3737-888. Many services are available including citizenship assistance, as well as, counseling, financial and other aid.

Agriculture Information Bulletin No. (AIB797) 95 pp,
March 2005
This report presents comprehensive information on family and nonfamily farms and important trends in farming, operator household income, farm performance, and contracting. Most farms are family farms. Even the largest farms tend to be family farms. Small family farms account for most of the farms in the U.S. but produce a modest share of farm output. Average farm household income has been at or above the average for all U.S. households in recent years, with farm households receiving most of their income from off-farm sources.
Keywords: Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), family farms, farm businesses, farm financial performance, farm operator household income, farm operators, farm structure, farm typology, women farm operators, spouses of farm operators, small farms

Verizon reached a deal to buy Alltel for $28.1 billion, which would make the combined company the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. over AT&T. While that was, arguably, the week's biggest news, it couldn't match the jaw-dropping word that Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas is accused by the government of storing drugs in a warehouse for more than nine years, and of spiking drinks of industry executives and customers with ecstasy. An indictment also charged him in an alleged stock option back-dating scheme.
1. Verizon Wireless to buy Alltel and In Alltel deal, Verizon bolsters Western front : Verizon wants to buy Alltel in a $28.1 billion deal that would leapfrog Verizon over AT&T to become the largest wireless provider in the U.S. Alltel is the fifth largest wireless carrier in the country and its 13 million customers would give Verizon 80 million subscribers compared to AT&T's 71 million or so. AT&T picked up more than a few of that total when it merged with Cingular in 2004.
2. Broadcom co-founder drugged drinks, indictment says : Broadcom co-founder Henry Nicholas maintained a warehouse for more than nine years where he kept drugs including ecstasy, methamphetamine and cocaine, according to a federal indictment charging him with possession and distribution of drugs and backdating stock options that led to the largest write-down in a backdating scandal at a U.S. company. Nicholas put ecstasy in the drinks of industry executives and Broadcom customers, the indictment alleges. Former Chief Financial Officer William Ruehle was also indicted in the alleged stock-option backdating.
3. Nvidia goes after Intel with Tegra processors, Intel, Via face off over low-cost laptops, and AMD lets cat out of bag with puma launch : At the giant Computex trade show in Taiwan this week, AMD unleashed its Puma laptop chip platform. And Nvidia got into the mobile Internet device market with its Tegra processor family based on the Arm core, which puts it in competition with Intel's Centrino Atom. Meanwhile, the heightened rivalry between Intel and Via was evident at the show. The two are squaring off as big guns in the thriving low-cost laptop market.
4. Google loses big in H-1B lottery as Congress gets new visa push : Senators Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat, and Judd Gregg, a New Hampshire Republican, introduced a Senate companion bill to a House of Representatives proposal that would allow foreign students who graduate from U.S. universities to have permanent resident status as long as they have a job offer. Meanwhile in H-1B visa news, Google officials said on a public blog that 90 of its 300 applications for such visas were denied in a lottery the government conducted after U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services received 163,000 applications for 85,000 visas. Google is among the tech companies pushing hard for the U.S. to raise the cap on H-1B visas for skilled workers.

English might well be among the most versatile majors, offering a wide range of courses that help students develop as writers, thinkers, and communicators.
The English major at Dordt College allows students to pursue their interests in creative writing, literature, or teaching. Some students even build their own independent studies course. A degree in English is also a great option for further study in law school, seminary, or any number of graduate programs.
Dordt's English professors are practicing writers who write and publish stories, poems, professional articles, essays, and op-ed pieces. Several have published books, some of which have included work by talented Dordt students. Because of small class sizes, students get to know professors and professors get to know their students. Many students are able to accompany professors on trips and even help with collaborative writing projects.

Cheri sent us these great photos of her husband wearing Mr. Cupcake costume & herself as a Cook Chef. Check out this couple's another amazing costume from last year Halloween - Daisy & Bee!
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Couples
This homemade costume for couples entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest,
My husband is wearing this costume.
I hot glued the bottom of the t-shirt to the larger pvc.
I starched and ironed the fabric in to a zig zag shape and fed a wire through a small tube i had sew along top of the fabric. I then shaped the zig zag in the fabric by bending the wire. On each inward zig zag i used string and a tapestry needle to attached it my top pvc. I sewed a small piece at the bottle of my fabric in order to feed the smaller pvc through it. This created a nice base for the frosting and my cup part of my cupcake. The top is 20 yards of tulle wrapped around the t-shirt to make a cupcake top. The hat is a paper plate with tulle wrapped around in a circle topped with a cherry. The cherry was made from a round Styrofoam ball, painted red, glittered, and a brown pip cleaner for the stem. i sprayed two coats of clear coat over the top so that the glitter wouldn't come off every where. I glued the plate on top of a pink stocking cap.

The fire-balling southpaw won't be ready for the Major Leagues until 2004 at the earliest but has been likened to Florida's Josh Beckett in terms of his unlimited potential. He was the premier hurler in what was yet another pitching-heavy draft for the Mets. Of the 48 New York selections, 23 were pitchers.
One hurler who bears watching from Day 2 is Florida high schooler Chris Munn, who has been likened to Pittsburgh Kris Benson.
"I think we did real well," director of amateur scouting Jack Bowen said. "We got a nice blend of position players and pitchers and of high school and college players.
"We got nice bats in [Robert] Malek and Jon Slack. We feel Slack can end up in center field with his speed. And we know Malek has an elbow injury but we don't think that will hamper him at all. Now we just want to try and sign these guys as quickly as we can because it will be to their benefit to get them out to their respective teams as quickly as possible."

If your travels take you beyond Virginia, think about downloading the INRIX app, which offers just about everything a commuter or road warrior might want. There's traffic news and a traffic map. When I set my location, I also got screenshots from VDOT's traffic cameras. With one click, you can text or email your arrival time to family and friends. The app will note construction or congestion with small icons along your planned route and places a little checkered flag icon at your destination.
If you're big-city bound, you may need to find a place to park once you arrive.
SpotHero is a parking app that allows you to find, reserve and pay for available spaces at nearby lots. Enter the time and date you need parking and the interface will show you a map of available garages and lots, complete with the cost for the time period selected. It will give you a description of the garage or lot complete with photo and directions for where to enter. It also will tell you how far the garage is from your destination. (In some cases you'll need to print your reservation and hand it to the valet.) SpotHero is available in Washington, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Newark and New York City.
Along those same lines, ParkWhizhelps you find available spaces — in some cases with a discount — and reserve and pay for them online. It offers you a description of the lot and a handy Google map of the location. We found it worked on garages in Washington and around the region, in such towns as Rockville, Md. and Ballston, Va.
According to AAA, about 5.5 million holiday travelers will be flying to their destination. Frequent fliers recommend downloading the app for the airline that you're using.

2012 in the Atlantic is off and storming!!!

The first tropical storm of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season has formed, 13 days before the official start of the season.
Tropical Storm Alberto developed Saturday afternoon from a disturbance off the coast of the Carolinas. Alberto is expected to drift slowly southwest through Sunday, but a trough of low pressure swinging in from the nation's midsection should pick Alberto up and carry it to the north and northeast by early next week.May the FORCE be with you!

"Our president delivered his State of the Union message to Congress. That is one of the things his contract calls for -- to tell congress the condition of the country. This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers
Ask this guy
It's an abbreviation for the Outer Banks, North Carolina
The Wright Brothers hung out there. I think they were doing some experiments with aerodynamics and engineering a hundred years or so ago.Be Not Afraid.

I have read all these stories, but because they were produced with influence of the author, but with dramatic license, the stories came alive! Since driving and texting, or watching videos is not viable, I don't understand why more radio drama doesn't exist. This is enjoyable and such a great set of stories by the Grand Master.

A partnership between TAO Group, Serge Becker (Miss Lily's, La Esquina) and his UK partners, Will Ricker and Ed Spencer Churchill, Bodega Negra has crossed the pond, bringing its menu of modern Mexican fare to New York City's Dream Downtown.
The menu consists of original items created
by Chef Michael Armstrong, as well as a small selection of signature dishes available at the UK location. Chef Armstrong's menu draws inspiration from the diverse regions of Mexico, and is designed for sharing, ranging from small plates such as ceviches, tacos, and salads, to large-format offerings.

Great food...but waitress made us
feel rushed and the food was expedited regardless of whether or not we were ready for it. Would definitely to back."

A hot spot with a really chill,
sexy vibe! Food was ok, but dessert was amazing!!! A flaming bubble which was melted with caramel sauce! Really cool, excellent cocktails! Go!"
Dined on 8/22/2014
An overpriced rip off. The food
simply wasn't good-- ranged from blah (chicken tinga tacos) to awful (oxtail empanadas). Drinks were passable but nothing i would order again. It's as dark as everyone else complains-- cavelike. Don't go."
Dined on 8/17/2014
I was taking a friend from out of
town out to dinner and had heard about Bodega Negra and wanted to try it. The food was delicious as were the cocktails. I was very impressed by the service. Our server took great pride in talking about the special dinner which was a pork tenderloin with all of the profits going to the Charlie Trotter Foundation. Having had a dinner at Charlie Trotters , I had to try it and it was really delicious . It was amazing dinner only to be exceeded by the dessert which we are still talking about."
Dined on 8/17/2014
Hype and the food is surprisingly
good! (Except for the deserts, which were a miss). But the appetizers and entrees are excellent. We went there with a group of 6 people for restaurant week. We had a reservation - seated of course 20 minutes late... ok. Our waitress was nice. I'd like to say I'll be back - since I really liked the food - but I felt so rushed to finish my plate that I am not so sure. We were still eating our appetizers when they brought the entrees!!! So we had to send them back. The busboys kept trying to take our plate when we are not even half way through. Almost all of us had to fight, at least 3 to 5 times to keep our plates. It got not only intrusive (since it interrupts a conversation) but also very unpleasant."
Dined on 8/15/2014
The food and service were great!
It is really dark. The two friends I was with really had a hard time seeing the menu and their food. They both wear glasses. I had the shrimp ceviche which was nicely flavored and for entree I had the amish chicken. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and a good portion. I was stuffed after several bites. I would definitely be coming back."
Dined on 8/15/2014
excellent spot; fun atmosphere,
all the food was delicious. highly reccommend"
Dined on 8/12/2014
Too dark. We had to use our
iPhones to read the menu. Music way to loud, and the noise level got louder as time went by. Part of the dining experience is chatting with your dinner guests. We were shouting to one another. More like a club atmosphere than a restaurant. And whoever thought that surrounding the bathroom stalls in mirrors was a good idea - yikes - NO. Would not go back."
Dined on 8/11/2014
Great food and great pricing, we
did the Prix fix menu at 75 for a group of 12 and we had more than enough food which was absolutely delicious! highly recommending the corn on the cob and the bone in rib eye, they are to die for! We were seated next to another bday party, all girls, who were very loud in their conversations and that was not very enjoyable, also they were playing some sort of rock variety over the speakers which we really disliked. Not only that it was a bit too loud and especially having the speaker right above our table, but it was really interfering with our conversations, and just really annoying; we expected Latino music to be played given that is it a Mexican restaurant. pls play softer music! not screeching rock"
Dined on 8/6/2014
The food is so good and their
assistant of unique margaritas is great as well."
Dined on 8/5/2014
A gem in a City that lacks really
good Mexican cuisine. Fabulous menu from guacamole appetizer to leche dessert. Bar is stocked with the best tequilas. Service is wonderful."
Dined on 8/4/2014
I had been to the Bodega Negra in
London, and loved it so much I wanted to try it here. Food was great again, and drinks as well! Service was awesome, it was almost like the server was reading our mind and we didn't have to ask for anything that we needed. Also, the cafe is a good option for after dinner drinks and quesadillas if you don't want to do the full sit down thing."
Dined on 8/4/2014
The food was great, the ambience
is nice and well decorated. The service was nice."

Considering that it is the
Meatpacking and everything is overpriced and overrated- its good food, drinks and relaxed atmosphere where NYers can actually enjoy their city!"

ceviche which was not only very cold but the chef used more ketchup than any other ingredient. The salmon started out delicious but as I was finishing, the salt was drenched on a corner. I felt as though I was eating a spoon of salt. The chile poblano was the worst. My husband only had one bite and left the rest. The server had us help him move the dishes. The waitress brought the check without us requesting it. I would never return much less recommend this restaurant."

I met a friend here during
restaurant week, when we arrived it was empty, after about an hour it was full and the bus boy hovered around so close and so often I felt he was dining with us, and waitress pushed drinks, and then the bill...as finishing the last of our drinks the maître de [host] came to ask us to leave because he had other reservations - we could go to the bar!!! (PS.. Bar was full) This alone would not have been so terrible but for the fact that when leaving by way of the ladies, there were PLENTIFUL tables just beyond the main seating area. I'm a native New Yorker and have been to 100's of restaurants and NEVER been treated in this manner (Alas we did not order from the Restaurant week menu)"

I have lived in New York for 3
months now and this was by far my worst dining experience. We arrived 7 minutes after our 8:15pm booking and we were informed by the Maitre D that they were just waiting for a couple of tables to finish up and please take a seat in the bar. An hour later we were still waiting for our table. No one came to apologise or give us updates, we were simply left there and had to do the chasing. Each time we asked, they were very curt and just seemed to act like this was the norm. Finally at 9:20pm we were seated. The food was fine but nothing exceptional. The restaurant is also very dark (we had to use our mobile light to help the waiter read the menu!)."
Dined on 7/24/2014
The food was excellent. However,
the restaurant was extremely dark and loud. While pleasant, our waitress was extremely hard to track down. She never came back to check on us and the entire serving staff seemed confused. For example, after our entree one waiter came by and took our plates and gave us new forks. Then a few minutes later another waiter came by and took the fork. Overall the food might get me to go back, but I expect better service from a place like this."
Dined on 7/24/2014
Great evening. Fantastic food. We
had to wait a long time for our table but they did give us a free round of drinks and desserts to compensate so overall we were very happy."
Dined on 7/19/2014
Great decor, food is OK, fun
environment, music is good but too loud to hold a conversation."
Dined on 7/17/2014
Showed up on time for my
reservation but clients were running half an hour behind. Was told by the host ( tall, dark male) to let him know when everyone arrives and we will be seated. In the meantime, my client and I ordered appetizers and drinks at the bar. The rest of clients showed up and the same host told me it would be 45 minutes before he can seat us. 2 1/2 hours later, he did not seat us for dinner nor did he seem to care. I asked him more than three times about an approximate wait and he stuck to "45 minutes". I did advise the management of this and they were very professional and apologetic. I felt embarrassed and let down; I will not be back and would caution anyone going here for professional dinner to be aware."

We went there for the grilled corn
which was delicious but pricey. Food was nice."
Dined on 7/13/2014
We had a 9:15pm reservation and we
weren't seated until 10:15pm. This is partly understandable, given it was a saturday night. Would have expected the hostess and waitstaff to be friendly, but they were the opposite. When we got up from the bar for the last time because we were starving and ready to leave, they finally seated us. That said, the food was spectacular and the drinks were out of this world. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is vibrant and fun."
Dined on 7/12/2014
Great place and yummy foods..the
steak tacos and chicken tostadas were very yummy!! The Don Huevo desert is amazing and make sure you get ur phone ready to videotape it when it comes out!! Well worth every penny!!"
Dined on 7/10/2014
Very dark room, which in some
circles might seem atmospheric, but when it's actually hard to see anything, it gave me pause. Service was very warm and friendly, food good and they have a nice range of mixed drinks and beers. Gets very noisy by 8pm"

Great food and service and a great scene after 10pm. We loved it."

Drinks were amazing and the food
was in line with the drinks...amazing! The grilled corn is a must and the best guacamole we have ever had. We also had the Peking Duck Tacos and the Pork Belly, also recommend highly."

food and service was outstanding.I
would highly recommend this restaurant"

Came here with another couple and
really enjoyed the food and ambience. We decided to order tapas style which turned out to be plenty of food for 4. My fav - the skirt steak empanadas!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
We went for early dinner at 6 PM
and the place was quite. We liked that. Food was really good, especially guacamole and cevice and our server was super sweet and attentive. He made our evening."
Dined on 6/20/2014
Loved the ambiance and decor of
this Mexican chic gem. Service was attentive and steady. Menu can get pricey as the plates are small and not "family style" as the gentleman advised. More on the tapas side of dishes- in that sense yes, made to pick and share. If you are hungry def suggest getting an entree rather than 5 small plates to taste. Tostaditas were delish and the Pork Belly tacos were Superb! Desert special was amazing- great for the bday celebration we had! Will def rtn!"
Dined on 6/14/2014
We loved the dark woods, funky
lightbulbs and rotating copper sculpture. I got the GulfSide cocktail, great absinthe and mezcal concoction; they didn't stint on the booze. Guacamole was smooth and fresh. I got the lamb barbacoa, with rich complex brown sauce and veggies in a hot pot. Hubbie's duck and steak tortillas good but small, he liked duck better. Only problem was overly fast service (apps and mains delivered within 5 minutes). Also our waitress was friendly but disappeared after the entrees to talk lengthily with another couple who appeared to be connected. Bathrooms are accessible through a circuitious dark maze. Coconut flan dessert was sinfully good. We plan to return."
Dined on 6/14/2014
Went with a group of friends to
celebrate a friend's birthday. Have to say, the food was outstanding! Can't recall all the dishes we ordered, but every single one was full of flavor and very tasty. Service, however, left a lot to be desired. When the restaurant is nearly empty (it was still early) it shouldn't take 10 min to bring 2 drinks. Especially when one of them is just scotch and not even a cocktail. The drinks must've been sitting on the bar and waiting for our waiter, as half the ice in scotch melted before it even made it to our table. Throughout dinner, waiter showed zero interest in how the table was doing and had a poor attitude. Maybe we just got him on a bad day. Overall, still a great place that I would go back to."
Dined on 6/9/2014
This restaurant was very dark, I
would only say go to this place if your on a date even then the food is just "fair" I wouldn't go back."
Dined on 6/5/2014
Awesome taste to the food, had
lots of flavor. Very creative when designing the Don Huevo dessert, which btw is delicious. "
Dined on 6/1/2014
Sophisticated atmosphere,
intriguing decor, loud music and fine dining food! The Mexican street corn was a standout! Overall excellent experience!"
Dined on 5/22/2014
I booked the place and they did
not tell me that my table was available only for 1h and 3/4 After 1h 3/4 they asked us to leave without dessert. I complaint to the manager and after arguing and insisting he said that at the beginning of the evening he warned us that we had the table for limited time. I answered that he should have warned me at the moment of the booking NOT once I was there with my guests. After insisting and arguing he let us have dessert. There was huge mess in the room, too many guests anyhow waiting, they over book the place and can not manage it properly: the waiter was kind and in trouble and the food is average... NO way I will return"
Dined on 5/16/2014
Worst dining experience I have
ever had! We had clients here from out of town and wanted to take them somewhere great. We have been here a bunch of times and we were in love. We even let the host and manager know that we were with important people. We waited almost an hour for a table, we had no server come to our table for at least 20 minutes and half of the food that was ordered didn't even make it to the table. The food we were served was cold, had no taste and when we specifically asked for nothing to be spicy because a guest was allergic, it was made extra spicy. We will never go again. "

After many months of hard work, your tireless Kirkland Patch editor, Greg Johnston, is enjoying some lakeside R&R with his family this week, including his son, who's home on leave from military service in Afghanistan.
While he's away, I'll be trying to fill Greg's shoes in here in Kirkland, one of my favorite Eastside cities.
Long before I moved to the area, I came to the area frequently to visit family and always liked it best when I could squeeze in a visit to Kirkland, enjoying lunch with family at Carillon Point, hopping aboard a lovely Argosy Lake Washington cruise to celebrate my grandfather's 75th birthday, or enjoying the relative warmth and lack of ice compared to my native Spokane while (sort of) running in Kirkland's 12ks of Christmas fun run.
So thanks to Greg and to Patch for allowing me this great opportunity to spend some time really focused on Kirkland this week. If you need to reach me, please feel free to email me at Greg's email address, or call me at 425-747-4705.
Greg will be back in his own shoes on Monday, July 25 - until then, I hope you'll join me in wishing him a restful break to recharge.

CANFIELD, Ohio - Property owners who have not invested in the shale boom had a chance to learn more about it on Saturday afternoon.
A workshop was held at the OSU Extension office in Canfield.
It focused on topics such as leasing land, water issues, pipeline construction and taxation.
The speakers were from extension offices in areas of Ohio where drilling is already underway.
"They like coming to us because we are non-biased. We look at both the pros and the cons and we're just basically trying to help land owners make good decisions," said Steve Schumacher, OSU Extension Educator, Belmont County.
The farmers and landowners who attended also had an opportunity to speak one on one with the experts.

If someone asked me to describe myself, I guess I would reply, "Well, I'm fairly tall, have long brown hair, brown eyes, dimples ... " Okay, well what do you like to do on your free time? "I don't know - play soccer, softball, hang out with my friends." Pretty normal, right? Yeah, I think so, too. Well, one more question - a little more specific - what do you like to do on weekends or at parties? "Listen to music, dance, eat, laugh, just chill." Sounds like fun, right? What else could you ask for? Well, too many (notice I didn't say most) teenagers, there is one blatant omission: alcohol.
I guess that brings me to the final question: do I drink? No, I do not. That's right, I am a sixteen-year-old female who is alcoholically challenged. I guess you could say I am an open live-aholic; I am desperately addicted to enjoying my life naturally, without chemical help (that's really not the right word, though). Hopefully there is no cure for this disease, and I would be thrilled beyond words if it was airborne and could be easily transmitted. Maybe my case will cause an epidemic! You've heard of AA or Al-Anon, maybe there should be Friday night support groups for teenagers living with AAS (Anti-Alcohol Syndrome). But you know what, I don't need support, and I certainly don't want to get better! I actually enjoy my condition and wouldn't want to be healed if the cure was ice cream and jelly beans. Perhaps this is a result of the chronic symptoms: confidence, pride, and independence. I am a teenager living with a condition that does not allow me to fall on my face, puke on my boyfriend's lap, or crack up my car. And I love it! And still have long brown hair and dimples and love to play soccer. I live my life just as any other junior in high school, except that one slight alcohol omission. But if the connotation of "omission" is negative, I guess I will have to modify it slightly: I am a teenager living with a "mission to omit.."

Peter Capaldi is the 12th Doctor. (BBC America)Link

"Times change, and so must I."
Thus spoke the 11th Doctor, as played by Matt Smith, moments before the time-traveling extraterrestrial shed his appearance and regenerated in a new form — this time played by Peter Capaldi. (Fans who missed the Christmas episode, beware — there are spoilers ahead.)
The passing of the Doctor mantle came during the final moments of "The Time of the Doctor," the show's ninth Christmas special since its 2005 revival and the 800th episode in its 50-year history. Smith's 11th Doctor spent most of the episode protecting the town of Christmas on the planet Trenzalore, and aging significantly in the process. After delivering his swan song aboard the Tardis, the 11th Doctor quickly morphed into the 12th.
Viewers didn't have much time to see Capaldi in action, as his arrival was brief and hectic: Upon regenerating, the wild-eyed 12th Doctor exclaimed, "Kidneys — I've got new kidneys!" and proceeded to complain about their color. He then asked an equally bewildered Clara (Jenna Coleman), "Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?"
Reaction to the new Doctor on Twitter was largely positive. Though many fans were sad to see Smith go, most were also cautiously optimistic about Capaldi or outright excited. Here's a sampling:
It was a reallllyyyy good episode. I only wish we got to see another few mins of Peter Capaldi, like we did Matt Smith.—

Although Prabal Gurung says that his latest collection was inspired by Tilda Swinton's role in I Am Love, you have to wonder when he had time to slip out to the movies. His spring lineup takes complicated construction to its heights, with pieces that took days, weeks, and months to create.
It wasn't Swinton's bourgeois wardrobe that sparked Gurung's interest, but her character's strength. And that didn't translate into the usual leather and bondage gear. "Obvious is boring," he says. Gurung's less obvious take on feminine strength is an homage to Geoffrey Beene, with spiraling net insets, unusual technical fabrics, and a bold color palette of coral, saffron, tan, and aqua. (Note: Here's another designer who has turned away from short. His lean new silhouette hits five inches below the knee.)
Gurung confronts a series of steep technical challenges with this collection. Of course, that also meant huge challenges for his small design staff. "This is a pattern-maker's nightmare," Gurung says, proudly showing off a sleek sheath dress of intricately spliced scuba fabric. "When you see the pattern all laid out it looks like a maze."

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) afflict more than 1.4 billion people, many of whom live on less than $1.25 a day. While there are effective ways to manage NTDs, policy-makers and funders have only recently begun to recognize the economic and public health importance of controlling NTDs. The IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats held a workshop September 21-22, 2010, to discuss the science of and policy surrounding NTDs.

Wow! That thing must weight 5 pounds.

Re: TURNIP
Either you are a little feller, or that is one Huge Turnip!

"How much weight do you use on your disc harrow?"
"Oh, I just use a couple of these."
Re: TURNIP
I know you might not want to answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. What's the secret to growing turnips like that? Is that just a common old purple top or is it something else? I pulled a bunch of turnips out of my patch yesterday to go along with the New Year's greens, beans and ham(no it wasn't jowl but still still from the hog - just the other end). They were delicious and really went good with everything else. However, the largest one I ever grow don't get any larger than a baseball. I know that thinning helps them to grow but nothing like yours.
I would really like to know your secret.
Thanks Roy

What would happen if 34.5 percent of White men did not have jobs? According to new U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics, joblessness for 16-to-24-year-old Black men has reached Great Depression proportions – more than three times the rate for the general U.S. population. Some African Americans are asking: "Will it take a revolution to spark economic change in Black America?" "All eyes are on the uprisings playing out in Egypt and Tunisia, yet America systematically turns a blind eye to the oppression in its own backyard."

Typically, parents who decide to throw underage alcohol parties usually do so for two reasons: either to be "cool" and fit in with their children and their peers or to keep their kids and others from drinking and driving. Tina Aaron, coordinator of the Walker County Community in Action Coalition, is stressing the importance of following the law when hosting any teen parties.
"Parents and other hosts need to be familiar with Alabama law and make responsible decisions," Aaron said. "There is also the social aspect that 'hosting' gives the impression of condoning underage drinking and low-perceived risk to all involved."
There are three violations defined under the state law in Alabama regarding underage alcohol parties:
•an adult has authorized the party at the residence and is in attendance.
•an adult knows that an underage person possesses or is using an alcoholic beverage or controlled substance.
•an adult fails to take reasonable action to prevent an underage person from possessing or using an alcoholic beverage or controlled substance.
Walker County's chief juvenile probation officer, Mark Jarvis, notes that there are serious consequences for parents who choose to host such parties for their kids.
"This is a serious offense. Adults that are charged with hosting can wind up in jail for up to six months with a [maximum] $1,000 fine," Jarvis said. "They can also be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor."
Some parents simply assume that teenagers are going to drink anyway, so at the parties they will take the kids' car keys thinking they are keeping them safe; however, it is still an illegal act. Adults may even be sued if an accident occurs where someone is injured by an intoxicated guest who was given alcoholic beverages at a hosted party.
Northwest Alabama Mental Health Center prevention specialist April Dunn agrees with Aaron, saying it is critical that parents and adults know the consequences of the law.
"I think it is really important that parents and other adults educate themselves as to what the law says about hosting underage drinking parties," Dunn said. "Just because it is graduation night doesn't make it legal to have underage people at their home drinking."
The only way a violation may be rescinded is if the adult takes reasonable action, meaning they either eject a person from the residence or request police officers to eject a person from the residence for consuming alcohol.

The following information, provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lists the symptoms of West Nile Virus and methods of treatment.
What Are the Symptoms of WNV?
- Serious Symptoms in a Few People. About one in 150 people infected with WNV will develop severe illness. The severe symptoms can include high fever, headache, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, convulsions, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. These symptoms may last several weeks, and neurological effects may be permanent.
- Milder Symptoms in Some People. Up to 20 percent of the people who become infected have symptoms such as fever, headache, and body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. Symptoms can last for as short as a few days, though even healthy people have become sick for several weeks.
- No Symptoms in Most People. Approximately 80 percent of people (about 4 out of 5) who are infected with WNV will not show any symptoms at all.
How Soon Do Infected People Get Sick?
People typically develop symptoms between 3 and 14 days after they are bitten by the infected mosquito.
How Is WNV Infection Treated?
There is no specific treatment for WNV infection. In cases with milder symptoms, people experience symptoms such as fever and aches that pass on their own, although even healthy people have become sick for several weeks. In more severe cases, people usually need to go to the hospital where they can receive supportive treatment including intravenous fluids, help with breathing and nursing care.
What Should I Do if I Think I Have WNV?
Milder WNV illness improves on its own, and people do not necessarily need to seek medical attention for this infection though they may choose to do so. If you develop symptoms of severe WNV illness, such as unusually severe headaches or confusion, seek medical attention immediately. Severe WNV illness usually requires hospitalization. Pregnant women and nursing mothers are encouraged to talk to their doctor if they develop symptoms that could be WNV.
What Is the Risk of Getting Sick from WNV?
People over 50 at higher risk to get severe illness. People over the age of 50 are more likely to develop serious symptoms of WNV if they do get sick and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites.
Being outside means you're at risk. The more time you're outdoors, the more time you could be bitten by an infected mosquito. Pay attention to avoiding mosquito bites if you spend a lot of time outside, either working or playing.
Risk through medical procedures is very low. All donated blood is checked for WNV before being used. The risk of getting WNV through blood transfusions and organ transplants is very small, and should not prevent people who need surgery from having it. If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.

And no, it's not Nick Patti. (HT: His Highness SE Bronco)
From the Idaho Statesman: "Legendary former Boise State football coach and athletic director Lyle Smith visited practice Tuesday, the day after his 98th birthday. Coach Bryan Harsin presented Smith with a No. 98 jersey and a locker nameplate with No. 98 like those in the Broncos' locker room. Smith spoke to the team for about 5 minutes and told the players how much their dedication means to him." http://blogs.idahostatesman.com/watch-highlights-from-tuesdays-boise-state-football-practice/#storylink=cpy
I'm not sure which WR or TE this is but the man has some serious hops. Either that or they installed trampolines in the practice facility. Maybe he is working on his TD celebration (spiking over the crossbar). More pics can be seen at the Idaho Statesman: LINK

It is certain that having scars could be one of your worst nightmares. This is due to the fact that it could actually give you the embarrassing moments of covering your skin in the best way possible.
In addition to this, there is certainty that there would be associated problems regarding your scars since it could be found in various plumpness types.
There are times that it could be as raised like you don't want to. On the other hand, instead of having reduced appearance, it could even cause the discoloration of your skin.
Due to the above notion, more people are actually struggling to find the best solution for their scars.
To give you one solution that people are dying to try, you could then consider laser treatment. Laser treatment has been known to be effective in treating other skin conditions.
However, in terms of scars, there are still risks stated, which would somehow inhibit you from undergoing the treatment.
In order to enumerate the risks, here are the following:
- Common Effect
It is possible that due to the laser treatment, you may experience the most common side effect of laser treatment, which is the hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation.
Both effects are actually due to the exposure of your skin to the sun.
- Redness and Swelling
It is also probable that after the surgery, you may find your skin to be swollen and reddish. It is somehow expected by some.
In addition to this, it could be deemed very uncomfortable for some. But of course, such side effect would only be present in a few days.
In order to reduce the swelling, you have to use ice or cold gel packs to treat the red areas.
- Sensitivity to The Sun
Your skin, after the laser treatment, would be sensitive to the sun. This is primarily caused by the removal of the topmost layer of your skin.
As a result, you would have the responsibility to assure to always wear sunblock that has SPF 30. This is to protect the treated area.
- Allergic Reactions
It is actually evident that your skin may react to the laser beam associated with the laser treatment.
On the other hand, it is also possible that you may be allergic to the creams or medications applied during the treatment.
If you have allergies, it is much better to inform your doctor about them. This is to find alternatives for the medications to be applied.
- Discoloration
The discoloration of your skin could also be apparent after the procedure, but most likely, this would only be temporary.
It is possible that the treated area may be darker or lighter. If the scar treated is raised, expect that discoloration could occur. In addition to this, darker skin has a higher risk of discoloration.
- Burns, Crusts, and Blisters
It is also possible that after the laser treatment, you would be suffering from burns, blisters, as well as crusting of your skin. However, they are not common to all people.

How to make sure you're using all the data available to make meaningful connections with customers when they are in market to receive the message.
How would you like to increase operating margins by 60 percent? Or add millions in new value from existing and new customers? Yes, me too. All we have to do is capture, analyze, and utilize all the digital data that we have!
Unfortunately, we are drowning in data. Information is being created at a staggering speed. Every time any of us upload an image to Facebook, pay a toll electronically, download a document from a website, buy something online, or swipe a credit card in a store - we create data. With billions of devices pumping out never-ending streams of data, trillions of gigabytes of data are being generated every year.
Marketing automation vendors are adding a lot of functionality to help marketers address this data explosion. This includes big data analytics, attribution modeling, integrated social analytics, and spend management. There are a also a lot of standalone solutions for what I call "digital marketing optimization" - everyone from large firms like Accenture to more focused BI firms like QlikTech claim some portion of this. Optimization is one of those terms that means something different to every person - sort of like segmentation or engagement or business development. However, if you think about optimization as a mathematical challenge, then what you need is software and automation tools that actually help you earn more tomorrow than you did today.
Helpful automation technology will condense the data into actionable "views" so that you can use it to make decisions about future messaging. If the data analytics can be done at the customer level (which is unfortunately not universal yet), then marketers can integrate it directly with the CRM or marketing database in order to optimize offer placement in real time. That is where the real power of automation comes in - we want to use all the data available to make meaningful connections with customers when they are in market to receive the message. Oh, and to make that connection on the proper device or channel, too!
However, this data management challenge is not just a technology challenge. Organizations need people with the skills to translate that jumble of information into meaningful insight and real business value. We've heard a lot about the "data scientist" role, and it's becoming more and more real every day for more and more marketers.
To this column's opening question, McKinsey believes these data experts could capture more than $300 billion in new value annually for the U.S. healthcare industry; and they could increase retailers' operating margins by up to 60 percent with better analysis of large data sets. The promise of results like this from an article in Teradata Magazine are making executives think really hard about bringing on a data scientist or two.
The problem is finding the right person or persons. Demand is high - so fast, that by 2018, McKinsey estimates a shortfall of 140,000 to 190,000 people with analytical expertise. Finding someone who also has critical business savvy only adds to the challenge of making the "right" hire.
I also think that marketing organizations need an operations director in addition to data scientists. The adoption of technology in the marketing department is in some industries outpacing the spending by the IT department. This makes the marketing department a primary owner and user of software and data warehouses. Managing those vendor relationships is one aspect of it, but more important, it's adapting the technology for the specific uses of the marketing department. Every marketer always claims that they are unique, and while vendors often grumble about that egotism, truly each organization and each set of data is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to marketing automation and BI/analytics software. Vendors will be more successful in partnering with marketing organizations when there is an operations director in place to guide them around the dynamic needs of the company and the market. The operations director role is all about eliminating friction - in the areas of knowledge, training, integration, data management requirements, and vendor management.
What are you doing to build the marketing organization of the future? In addition to your creative and strategic types, you'll want to have a few quants and ops people in there, too. Start nurturing these people now from your existing team, or hiring for them. As they will shortly be a scarce resource.

text: When you look over what Jordan Sullivan has done away from the basketball court, she's racked up volunteer hours for nearly 20 different organizations and events, many of them to help children. "Everyone was that little boy or little girl growing up. They all had someone that they looked up to, and for our team to go out and help with kids, it's pretty neat to think that you might have an ounce of an influence on them," says the Lady Griz senior Sullivan."She gives a ton of herself to others, always. She's always doing stuff, and helping, and I'm not sure how she does it. She's got a tremendously heavy work-load because of business school, she's won some honors there, and she's just a great person," says Lady Griz coach Robin Selvig.At halftime of this weekend's brawl of the wild, Sullivan will be honored as one of nine outstanding student-athletes who give their time to community engagement, something she's proud to be a part of."I saw the list of people who've gotten it in the past, and that was my indicator that this was a pretty neat thing, because I recognize some names on the list, and they were people I've looked up to before," says Sullivan, of the Community Engagement Award.She's the co president for the student athlete advisory committee, has been selected of 30 students wide for an interactive marketing experience in New York, and presented a research project in collaboration with Nike Trail Running over the summer at the Nike headquarters, but arguably the most memorable experience, was dressing up as Rapunzel for kids at an event at Caras Park. "They said, 'do you mind?' and I said no, I love being Rapunzel, and I was that again for Halloween this year, and it was really fun. The little kids really think you are her (Rapunzel)," says Sullivan.While all the Lady Griz are active in the community, what Sullivan has done is nothing short of incredible. "I'm her uncle, so I'm going to think a lot of positive things, but you ask anyone whose around her, she's a sweetheart," says Selvig.But if you ask her, Jordan says it's all a bi-product of the passion Robin Selvig instills in the basketball program. "You just know how passionate he is about this program and he just has the heart for every single player that comes through, so that builds the whole deal, and everybody leaves with this connection to this program, and to the University of Montana, so it's pretty special," says Sullivan.

Alternative link road routes "not suitable", inquiry hears (From Ledbury Reporter)

Alternative link road routes "not suitable", inquiry hears
Updated 10:18pm Thursday 24th April 2014 in News
A NUMBER of alternative routes for a city centre link road were "not suitable", a public inquiry heard this week.
The inquiry – one of the biggest ever held in the county – heard that there were a number of objections to the compulsory purchase orders issued by Herefordshire Council in relation to a proposed city-centre link road.
The proposed road would run between Commercial Road and Edgar Street and would have an impact on a number of businesses in its path .
The inquiry – which began yesterday – heard the views of some objectors who felt another route was a better option.
The council responded to Mr H Vaughan who had stated that the council did not appear to have assessed alternatives to the order scheme in "any meaningful way".
Chris Oakley, Herefordshire Council's transport manager, told the inquiry that while other routes had been considered, the chosen one was the "optimal solution".
In a rebuttal statement to Mr H Vaughan, the council said: "Schemes along the inner ring road itself, along the line of Blackfriars Street and Coningsby Street and along the line of Barrs Court Road were all considered during the master-planning process as were different scales of road within the present corridor for the scheme.
"Options seeking to address wider outer city traffic flow issues were not assessed on the basis that interventions at some distance from the city centre would not address the scheme objectives, including in terms of providing access to regeneration land."
Mr Vaughan had suggested that his alternative route would offer more significant highway improvements but Herefordshire Council said this was not the point of the link road.
Instead, the link road is aimed at enabling infrastructure designed to facilitate the regeneration of the Edgar Street Grid area and the expansion of the city centre.
It focuses on specific objectives of providing access to new regeneration sites and on improving connectivity to, through and within the area, in particular by relieving traffic levels on Newmarket Street to enable greater connectivity with the historic core.
The inquiry continues.
