Tourists visiting the Sunshine State spent more money last year than ever before.
Gov. Rick Scott said on Thursday that visitors spent a record $71.1 billion in 2012. That's a nearly 7 percent increase over 2011 which was also a record year.
The preliminary spending figures were compiled by Visit Florida, the state's quasi-public marketing arm.
Visits Florida has already estimated that nearly 90 million people visited the state in 2012. That included 10.2 million overseas visitors and 3.6 million Canadians.
Tourism is one of Florida's most important economic drivers with more than 1 million people employed in a variety of industry-related jobs.
Scott is asking state legislators to set aside $75 million in this year's budget for Visit Florida to pay for its marketing and advertising efforts.

FOUC problem in IE
Hi Guys,
I have an issue with HTML5 and IE 7 - 9. I think it is so called FOUC flash of unstyled content issue. It occurs after I add MOdernizr to make IE a bit cleverer in order to understand HTML5. Though I added modernizr link exactly as it is suggested on http://modernizr.com/docs/ it didn't make any difference and the home page on first load looks broken. After second reload everything except an image slider looks alright.
Drop the script tags in the <head> of your HTML. For best performance, you should have them follow after your stylesheet references. The reason we recommend placing Modernizr in the head is two-fold: the HTML5 Shiv (that enables HTML5 elements in IE) must execute before the <body>, and if youre using any of the CSS classes that Modernizr adds, youll want to prevent a FOUC.

Thank you.

Children at synagogue make cards for police officers hurt in attack (From Borehamwood Times)

Children at Stanmore and Canons Park Synagogue make cards for police officers hurt in attack in Kingsbury for Mitzvah Day
9:10am Wednesday 23rd November 2011 in News By Suruchi Sharma
CHILDREN at a synagogue in Stanmore made cards for police officers injured in an attack in Kingsbury for a good-deeds day on Sunday.
The cards were made for Mitzvah Day, at Stanmore and Canons Park Synagogue, in London Road.
Young people who were already making Chanukah cards for children in foster care in Israel decided to send their good wishes to four officers who were hurt on Saturday, in Kingsbury Road.
Mitzvah Day is an annual good-deed day that calls on thousands of volunteers to donate time rather than money to charity and community projects.
Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow West, also attended the event to help serve tea to members of the Association of Jewish Ex-Servicemen (AJEX).
Organiser Juliet Schneiderman said: "When Bob came along he was speaking to my husband and it came up in conversation about the police officers.
"I hadn't actually heard what had happened but felt that the police do so much for us at the synagogue that we must show our gratitude.
"On high holy days they are so supportive and protective of us and we wanted to show our thanks by sending cards to the men who were injured.
"The kids that created the cards were a variety of ages, some were Brownies and Rainbows and others were teenagers. We will be sending the cards shortly to the officers and wish them well in their recovery."
Other Mitzvah Day projects done by the synagogue included collecting food for the Watford New Hope Trust for the Homeless outside the Broadwalk Centre, in Edgware.
Members also knitted blankets for impoverished families in Eastern Europe and collecting Lego for children with terminal conditions.
A group of the synagogue's teenagers also spent a part of Sunday afternoon cleaning up the Watford New Hope Trust's market garden by removing stones and debris to enable the soil to be cleared and ready for planting in the spring.

Which?: The big squeeze has become the 'long squeeze'
– Richard Lloyd, Which? Executive Director
Our research paints a gloomy picture of worried and pessimistic consumers, with a majority expecting their household budget to get even tighter than last year.
People have as little money to spend now as they had at the start of the recession four years ago, with many simply unable to prepare for unexpected costs or for their retirement.
There's no doubt that the big squeeze has turned into a long squeeze. The assault on real incomes is unlikely to change for the better soon, with consequences not only for individual consumers but also for economic recovery.

Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service (SCRAPS) has filed a request with the county prosecutor's office to have 32 felony first-degree animal cruelty charges filed against Elk's Michelle Stiner.
In addition, SCRAPS is seeking five misdemeanor second-degree animal cruelty and 86 confinement in an unsafe manner charges.
All the charges stem from a Feb. 23 raid on Stiner's ranch on Bruce Road where SCRAPS officials, veterinarians and volunteers found nearly 100 animals in need of appropriate food and medical attention.
Many of the animals were adopted by caring homes.
"SCRAPS Animal Protection Officer Ashley Brown completed a very thorough investigation in this case and the charging request directly reflects the findings filed in her report," said SCRAPS's Animal Protection Operations Manager Nicole Montano.
"Dealing with over 95 individual animals and the charges relating to each of those animals takes a massive amount of work and the thorough report which is 287 pages demonstrates the time SCRAPS animal protection unit has dedicated to addressing this case of animal cruelty, Montano added.
Each charge of first-degree animal cruelty carries a penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Each misdemeanor charge carries a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.

Senior Bryan Hohlbein was the big bat in the Big Green (8-9) lineup with a 2-for-3 day and classmate Craig Odenweller knocked in both runs with a double in the bottom of the seventh.
The Jays return to the diamond tonight at home versus Coldwater and open tourney play Thursday versus Waynesfield-Goshen at Perry.

By DAVE BONINSEGNA
The Delphos Herald
KALIDA — The baseball and softball tournaments are already underway but the Kalida Wildcats and Continental Pirates still had some unfinished Putnam County League business on the softball diamond in a make-up of a game previously rained out.
The Pirates jumped on Kalida pitcher Emily Schnipke for four runs in the first inning and paced their way to a 8-3 victory.
Leva Weller pitched a complete game for Continental to get the win, while helping her cause at the plate in going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs batted in on a 2-run double in the first.
Nicole Recker was 2-for-4 for the home team, scoring a run. Summer Holtkamp tripled and was 1-for-4.
Kalida continues in the tournament today when they play Patrick Henry in the sectional finals. Continental heads back to the diamond on Wednesday to face Columbus Grove.

Buena Vista conversion spurs school debate

Few if any Palo Alto parents believe Redwood City schools are comparable, just as few home owners would trade Palo Alto's famous school-dependent property values for those of Redwood City's. Comparing API scores to determine quality among schools is like comparing calorie counts to determine quality between restaurants - argue that to a good restaurant critic! Palo Alto schools provide the gold standard of education and experience and we all know it.
The children at Buena Vista are Palo Alto's children. Their parents have sacrificed as others have to live here. The PAUSD School Board unanimously adopted a Statement of Support for Buena Vista families and students living there. The PTA Council Representatives from all 17 schools voted their support, forming an advocacy committee to work with Buena Vista parents.
The only person arguing otherwise is the lawyer for Buena Vista's owner, trying to legally justify getting rid of 103 Palo Alto students whose families live at Buena Vista.
Palo Alto must insist that any redevelopment plans at Buena Vista Mobile Home Park include replacement affordable housing for the residents that will mitigate the loss of affordable housing to the City while ensuring students there will remain in our schools.

One other aspect I haven't seen mentioned is that these low income children are mixing with families who generally have good values and morals. If these low income families are forced to move to other areas where there is a great deal of low income housing, I feel sure that they are very concerned about the peers their children will mix with, particularly at school.
I feel for these families who are probably very concerned about whether or not a new school may put them at greater risk of drugs, crime and lack of valuing education.
This is probably a huge concern to these families.

if you don't live in Palo Alto, you shouldn't go to their schools. [Portion removed.]

General changes
Please see the GNOME
3.6 Release Notes for what is new in this major release of GNOME.
Current users of GNOME 2 would also want to glance at the release notes for
3.2, and
Briefly: GNOME 3 includes two desktop modes—standard and fallback.
Fallback mode uses gnome-base/gnome-panel and x11-wm/metacity, and
is similar in appearance and behavior to GNOME 2. Standard mode uses
gnome-base/gnome-shell and x11-wm/mutter, and looks and behaves
completely differently from GNOME 2 releases. By default, the
choice of desktop mode is determined by the system's graphics hardware and
drivers (standard mode requires modern 3D graphics capabilities).
There is a quick
tour of standard mode's GNOME Shell available on the GNOME website.
For an in-depth guide to using GNOME Shell, see
the GNOME Shell
cheat sheet. GNOME Shell at first may feel alien and limited to an
experienced GNOME 2 user. We strongly encourage users to persist and make
themselves use it for a few days; those who take the time to get used to GNOME
Shell's behavior usually grow to love it and don't want to go back to a
GNOME 2-like desktop environment.
Changes affecting current GNOME 3.4 or GNOME 2 users
Keyboard layouts and input methods
GNOME 3.6 does not use traditional xorg.conf keyboard layout settings.
Instead, keyboard layouts and input methods are configured via ibus
which is integrated into GNOME Shell.
To add a keyboard layout, open System Settings (or gnome-control-center
from the terminal) and go to Region & Language → Input Sources.
Unfortunately, in GNOME 3.6 the System Settings GUI does not allow setting
the usual shortcuts (e.g. Alt Shift) for switching keyboard layouts.
Users who use multiple keyboard layouts and need to switch between them from
the keyboard will need to use gnome-tweak-tool and select their desired
shortcut from the Typing → Modifiers-only input sources switcher shortcut
menu. Alternatively, from a terminal:
Code Listing 2.1: Use left Alt Shift to switch between keyboard layouts
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.keyboard input-sources-switcher alt-shift-l
Suspend menu item
GNOME Shell 3.6 (unlike earlier GNOME 3 releases) always shows a Power Off
menu item by default in the upper-right corner menu. However (unlike earlier GNOME
releases) it now no
longer shows a Suspend menu item by default. The Suspend menu item
becomes visible after clicking on the upper right corner menu and holding down
the Alt key. Laptops can also be suspended simply by shutting the lid.
If you need an easily discoverable GUI for suspending the machine, you can install
the alternative-status-menu extension. To do so, emerge
gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extensions and run
Code Listing 2.2: Enabling the alternative-status-menu extension
# eselect gnome-shell-extensions enable 'firstname.lastname@example.com'
to enable the extension for all users by default, or use gnome-tweak-tool
(Shell Extensions tab) to enable it on a per-user basis.
Evolution 3.6 plugins
Current versions of evolution-exchange and evolution-groupwise
are incompatible with Evolution 3.6, and you will need to uninstall them before
upgrading to GNOME 3.6. Users of evolution-exchange should try switching
to evolution-ews as evolution-exchange development is abandonned.
Interaction with tabs
Since Gnome 3.0, some applications stopped switching tabs when scolling over
them. This is behavior is intended by upstream actually covers at least
app-editors/gedit, gnome-base/nautilus and
www-client/epiphany. This behavior will not be patched by Gentoo Gnome
team so if you find it annoying, please report directly at
Gnome bugzilla.
Interaction with windows
If you were used to move and resize windows using Alt + middle click,
Gnome 3.6 replaced the Alt key with the Super (Windows Logo) key.
If you wish to change back to the old behavior, this can be done using
gnome-tweak-tool (Windows tab), or from the terminal:
Code Listing 2.3: set Alt as modifier key for window interaction
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences mouse-button-modifier '<Alt>'
Logs of the session
If you were used to find the logs of the current session in
~/.xsession-errors, the file has now moved to XDG compliant location:
Changes affecting current GNOME 2 users
Languages and encodings
GNOME 3 obtains user language settings from sys-apps/accountsservice.
The language can be set in GNOME from the My Account entry in the upper
right corner menu. Alternatively, you can directly edit AccountsService user
files. For example, to have user jrandom use British English, you can
(as root) edit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/jrandom so it reads
the following:
Code Listing 3.1: Simple example of an AccountsService user file
GNOME 3 uses media-fonts/cantarell as its default font. Unfortunately,
Cantarell currently only includes a subset of Latin and Cyrillic characters.
Users of languages with alphabetic writing systems which are not yet covered by
Cantarell will probably want to switch to another font, such as
media-fonts/dejavu. This can be done using gnome-tweak-tool
(Fonts tab), or from the terminal:
Code Listing 3.2: Set DejaVu (size 10) as the default font
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'DejaVu Sans 10'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface document-font-name 'DejaVu Sans 10'
$ gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font 'DejaVu Sans Bold 10'
GNOME 2 applets cannot be used in GNOME 3. Fallback mode allows applets,
although some have not yet been ported to the new, gtk3-based APIs. In
standard mode, there are no applets at all. Some traditional applet
functionality can be replicated using third-party GNOME Shell extensions.
In order to manage fallback gnome-panel settings (either add/remove or rearrange
applet positions) one has to hold down the Alt key when clicking
on the panel. This opens relevant menu for changing either panel or applet
Suspend on laptop lid close
GNOME 3 will, by default, suspend a laptop when the lid is closed. If you
do not like this behavior, you can change it via the gnome-tweak-tool
GUI (Shell tab), or using gsettings from the terminal:
Code Listing 3.3: Only turn off the screen when laptop lid is closed on AC power
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power lid-close-ac-action blank
One of the most common reasons for not wanting to suspend on laptop lid close
is to carry a laptop to another room without losing the network connection. To
do so, you can install gnome-extra/office-runner, which allows temporarily
inhibiting GNOME's suspend-on-lid-close behavior for up to 10 minutes.
Icons on the desktop
In GNOME 3, Nautilus by default no longer manages the desktop, and the
~/Desktop folder is simply treated as a normal folder with files.
If you want to have Nautilus manage the desktop like in GNOME 2, you can change
the corresponding setting in the gnome-tweak-tool GUI (Desktop tab),
or use the gsettings command from the terminal:
Code Listing 3.4: Making Nautilus manage the desktop
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
GNOME 3 standard mode (i.e. GNOME Shell) is incompatible with Compiz.
GNOME 3 requires media-sound/pulseaudio for audio support. Ensure that
you have the pulseaudio USE flag enabled globally (it will be enabled by
default if you use the desktop/gnome portage profile). For troubleshooting
PulseAudio problems, see
documentation on pulseaudio.org.
Touchpad and other input device customization
In GNOME 3.6, if you have "disable touchpad while typing" selected, the touchpad
will be disabled for 1 second after a keyboard key is pressed. In GNOME 2,
this interval was 500 milliseconds. If you like to disable the touchpad
while typing, but prefer the shorter timeout interval like in GNOME 2, you can
emerge gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon with the
short-touchpad-timeout USE flag enabled.
GNOME 3 allows setting a custom command for advanced customization of input
device settings. For example, suppose that you want to configure your touchpad
to enable two-finger scrolling (both vertical and horizontal) and edge
scrolling (vertical only). You could do
Code Listing 3.5: Setting a new GNOME input device hotplug script
$ cp /usr/share/gnome-settings-daemon-3.0/input-device-example.sh ~/input-device.sh
$ chmod +x ~/input-device.sh
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices hotplug-command ~/input-device.sh
and edit input-device.sh so it ends as follows:
Code Listing 3.6:
# If the device is a touchpad ...
if [[ -z "${device#*TouchPad*}" ]]; then
# ... enable two-finger scrolling (vertical and horizontal) ...
xinput set-prop "${device}" "Synaptics Two-Finger Scrolling" 1 1
# ... and edge scrolling (vertical only, no horizontal, no coasting) ...
xinput set-prop "${device}" "Synaptics Edge Scrolling" 1 0 0
# All further processing will be disabled if $retval == 0
exit $retval
If the custom hotplug command does not terminate with exit value 0,
gnome-settings-daemon will set its own settings on the input device,
likely clobbering the settings that the hotplug command had changed.
If, for whatever reason, you want to completely prevent GNOME 3 from
automatically modifying your mouse and touchpad settings (note that this will
also prevent custom input hotplug commands, such as
input-device.sh above, from modifying mice and touchpads!), you
can run the following:
Code Listing 3.7: Prevent GNOME from managing the mouse and touchpad
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.mouse active false
General configurability and extensions
GNOME 3 is designed to appear significantly less configurable than GNOME 2.
For example, by default there is no easily discoverable GUI for changing the
Gtk+ theme. Many configuration settings are hidden, but can still be changed
using the gnome-extra/gnome-tweak-tool GUI, or from gsettings (can be
explored using dconf-editor, part of gnome-base/dconf) or gconf
(can be explored using gnome-extra/gconf-editor).
Discussion of most of these settings is outside the scope of this guide.
GNOME Shell's behavior can be significantly altered using extensions. Gentoo
packages the extensions from the official GNOME repository as
gnome-extra/gnome-shell-extensions. GNOME Shell comes with a browser
plugin that allows users to install extensions from the
https://extensions.gnome.org/ web interface; there are also numerous
developers publishing extensions on various third-party websites.
Gentoo uses eselect gnome-shell-extensions to manage system defaults that
control whether extensions that were installed systemwide (i.e. in
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions) should be enabled.
Newly-installed systemwide extensions start out disabled by default.
Code Listing 3.8: Enabling alternative status menu and dock extensions by default for all users
# eselect gnome-shell-extensions enable \
email@example.com email@example.com
Defaults managed by eselect gnome-shell-extensions can be overridden on a
per-user basis using the extensions.gnome.org
web interface, via gnome-tweak-tool (Shell Extensions tab), or
from the command line using gsettings. For example, to load the
alternative status menu and dock extensions, and disabling all other extensions,
a user can run
Code Listing 3.9: Enabling alternative status menu and dock extensions (and disabling all others!) for the current user
$ gsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions \
'["firstname.lastname@example.com", "email@example.com"]'
Extension code quality is highly variable. Some extensions contain memory leaks
and others can render GNOME completely unusable. Gentoo cannot offer support for
problems caused by third-party extensions.

SWINDON TOWN: Cooper satisfied with opening friendly win
5:30am Saturday 12th July 2014 in Sport By Andy Warren, Deputy sports editor, firstname.lastname@example.com, @AndyWarren_
SWINDON Town opened their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win at Yate last night thanks to goals from trialist Celvin Kalinga and returning World Cup star Massimo Luongo.
Town struggled to get going in the first half, as manager Mark Cooper fielded a starting XI including four trialists, before a more established side turned the screw after the break to secure the victory thanks to Kalinga's back-post finish and Luongo's neat goal.
Sierra Leone skipper Ibrahim Kargbo was the pick of the trialing quartet in the first half, passing the ball round with ease and holding a calm line in front of the back four, while Khalil Lambin and Elikem Amenku struggled to connect with their teammates on numerous occasions.
The fourth trialist, Jonathan Vandesompele, left the field with a minor facial injury but looked calm and assured at the back in the first half alongside Nathan Thompson and the equally impressive Samsung Win a Pro winner Jose Antonio, while striker Andy Williams coped well on his return to football following a serious knee injury.
Wholesale changes to introduce a more established side at the break brought more cohesion for Town, leaving Cooper pleased with his side's return to action.
"I think you saw in the first half we didn't have the continuity as we had the trialists in, but in the second half we had the boys who know each other and you could tell that," he said. "It's great to be back and I'm pleased to be out playing games, watching the boys play some lovely football."

The Secret to a Better Marriage
Who Listens?
In the days before my wedding, a very wise friend told me something I really needed to hear: "I didn't marry Dougie for him to be my best friend. I already had a best friend!" I was relieved beyond belief, for I too had a best buddy -- Judy, whom I'd known since we were 3-year-olds -- and I'd been worrying about how such a close friendship could coexist with a marriage. The answer is: wonderfully.
Many women will tell you that they need female friends for all the things their husbands either can't or don't want to do -- engage in marathon chat fests, commiserate over petty injustices, work through the knotty problem of whether to buy that canvas tote or the faux crocodile clutch. We can wonder whether it's nature or nurture, but women feel the need to examine their lives under a microscope more than men do. It's not that men don't want to share our lives -- they just aren't riveted by the same degree of detail that we are. If you've ever found yourself on one of those online map sites, you know that you can choose either the "zoom in" or the "zoom out" function. Well, my husband -- a great human being -- is "zoom out" all the way; he's simply a big-picture kind of guy. If it weren't for Judy, he'd have to suffer through a close-up version of every blessing and catastrophe, triumph and defeat of my days. To say he's grateful to skip 98 percent of this is an understatement. And to say he's the only one to benefit is to miss the heart of it.
In fact, researchers have found that most women say that having a girlfriend to lean on has helped them, and it has actually improved their marriages. In a survey of women in their 20s through 40s at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 90 percent said they routinely talked about their relationship problems with a close gal pal, and 75 percent of the married subjects said they sometimes discussed marital problems with their friends before bringing them up with their spouses. "Women often work out strategies for dealing with marital problems -- such as pointing out each other's husband's good points -- which eases their anger and helps them avoid confrontations with their spouses," says sociologist Stacey Oliker, PhD, who conducted the study. "These women also said their friends' empathy helped them cope better with what was unsatisfying in their marriages."
One reason wives turn to girlfriends is that men tend to deal with problems differently than women. Whereas women often get relief simply from talking, men seem compelled to find a solution as quickly as possible, then move on. "If you tell your husband you're having difficulty with your mother, he'll want to fix it," says Sandy Sheehy, relationship specialist and author of Connecting: The Enduring Power of Female Friendship (Morrow, 2000). "He'll give you advice, and if you don't take it, he'll get really annoyed." Of course, to some degree that behavior is understandable: He has to live with your problems, and your friends don't. But a girlfriend's way of dealing may have a bigger payoff, says Sheehy. "A girlfriend will sympathize and say, 'I understand; I go through the same thing with my mom,' and let you work things out on your own."

Federal authorities and Henrico Police have arrested a man accused of stealing a truck filled with the President's equipment. After a detention hearing Wednesday, Eric Brown was led out of a federal courtroom, closely guarded by a U.S. marshal. A judge would not throw out the stealing government property charge and denied bail.
This is a case a year in the making.
There is a typical setup to a presidential campaign stop, complete with seals, podiums, TelePrompTers and audio equipment. That staging has become commonplace. In Washington and across the country, President Obama has hit the campaign trail on various stages. Choosing a leader is a long process. With last night's win for President Obama and an arrest in the case of the stolen campaign equipment, it seems the 2012 election season has wrapped up.
But authorities say back in October, one stop in Virginia was made more difficult by 48-year-old Eric Brown. According to testimony, surveillance video from the Courtyard Marriott at Virginia Center Commons in Henrico County shows a vehicle owned by Brown's wife entering the parking lot and then leaving closely behind a Department of Defense truck carrying equipment needed for a presidential visit.
Law enforcement developed a source who said Brown sold a DOD laptop taken from the truck. That source also said he saw presidential seals in Brown's possession and that Brown admitted to taking the truck. In court Wednesday, an FBI agent quoted the source's recollection of Brown's statement as, "I got that truck."
According to court documents, cell phone records show Brown was in the immediate area at the time of the theft.
Brown's defense attorney argued the video doesn't show him driving the truck and that a few of the items recovered in a DC pawn shop were not brought in by Brown himself.
After a federal prosecutor listed the 48-year-old's extensive criminal history and the fact that he was on probation when the alleged crime was committed, a judge denied his release
Sources say that criminal history dates back almost thirty years and includes pending charges in other jurisdictions.
A theft of government property charge comes with a maximum ten year prison sentence.
The federal grand jury is expected to take up that indictment in December.

Also, on Friday, November 16th from 3:30 to 4:30 pm volunteers will be canvassing the Fauntleroy Neighborhood with flyers about the event happening on Saturday. Contact, Terri (firstname.lastname@example.com) or sign up here to help out.
11:30 a.m. to noon, learn the facts and what to say to drivers (Pizza to be served to volunteers)
Volunteers will be given information to pass along to motorists and a simple script
Volunteers will administer a quick 3 to 5 question survey to motorists
Volunteers will be assigned a certain section of the sidewalk
Kids ages 6 and up are welcome
*Kids ages 6 to 10, must be accompanied by an adult/parent volunteer
There may be groups (2-5) of kids assigned to a volunteer
noon to 4:30 pm, educate drivers along Fauntleroy Way SW with your children**
Meet up in the parking lot at Lincoln Park, closest to the Fauntleroy Ferry Doc. A white canopy with the CoolMom sign will be visible near the park -parking lot.
*Parents will be responsible for their own children, unless specifically arranged through contacting Terri Glaberson, Program Manager for Think Outside the Car, email@example.com.
**Some children will be the prime communicator to the drivers, but will have an adult present at all times.
Please consider walking to the event, biking, taking the bus or carpooling. There is a bus stop right at Fauntleroy Way SW and SW Cloverdale Street, across from Lincoln Park.
Questions? Please contact Terri at firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you!

SP200*: Study Abroad
SP200*: Study Abroad is an annual spring course and all-inclusive, international immersion experience in a Spanish-speaking country. This 1.0-credit course is led by a Laurier faculty member. At the destination abroad, the target language immersion experience incorporates all the essential areas of Spanish language learning. Activities in class are designed to sharpen vocabulary, grammar, speaking, and reading skills. Fluency and listening comprehension are further developed through constant interaction in Spanish not only in the classroom but also through host families, community members, and cultural immersion. An understanding of the target culture is obtained during extracurricular guided tours and day trips which also complement themes learned in and out of the classroom.
The SP200 package includes: textbook and academic materials; international airfare and all transportation abroad; homestay with Spanish-speaking families including meals, linens, and optional laundry service; transportation, all hotel accommodations, guided tours and entrance tickets to all excursions and day trips; cultural activities and conversational practice with native Spanish speakers; and visits to over a dozen towns abroad.

Yes, that includes the disgraced former CEO, Jon Corzine—who has been selling everything from his Jersey penthouse to his vintage car in what many assume a desperate effort to raise money to pay for his defense lawyers.
What's really angering some former MF Global customers—who are still waiting to get money back from their accounts—is the fact that they've also requested to use some of the money available through insurance, about $120 million, in order to be made more whole. The request, however, was rejected in court.
If it's any concession—Judge Martin Glenn—who is overseeing the case in bankruptcy court—has put a $30 million limit on the amount of money from insurance that can be used towards paying for legal defense. Still, we can't imagine former MF clients being appeased in anyway in light of the fact that money they might've received is going to help Corzine.

The Miscellaneous Rantings of Marie-Lizette
World Series Ho!
Yup, it's that time again! It's summer and the season for the World Series of Poker. I'm writing from Vegas, the summer mecca for poker players across the world...World Series Ho!
(Video by srslysirius.com)
Anyway, I've got a very busy summer planned. Those of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook already know that I put together a summer tournament package and sold it on 2+2, and so far I've already played the first of the six schedule events.
Yesterday was the first event of the 2012 WSOP, the Casino Employee's event. It's considered to be one of the softest fields of the Series so I gave it a go. I doubled up early with Kings vs. Sixes in what was a set over set all-in pot in the 2nd orbit of the event, then pretty much maintained a stack between 6K and 10K for the next 4 hours. I got moved around 3 times and, as so many of you know, it takes a while before you can get a feel for the game flow of a new table. Although I went into the 2nd break with 10K in chips, the 5th level had blinds at 150/300+25 ante, and in just two orbits I had lost 1K without ever playing a hand. I calculated that an average chip stack in the money (81 players get paid in Event #1) was 31K, so I knew I had a bit of work to do with 250 runners left out of the original 732.
Unfortunately, the first bracelet of the year was not to be mine...
I sulked a bit after busting out, then played a $125 satellite. I chipped up here and there, but in a satellite, it's best to just let people bust and wait for spots short handed. When it finally got down to 3-handed play, I was the short stack with about T2,500 of the T10k in play. Of course, I never saw a button I didn't like and I raised every time in position. Finally, the small blind got feed up and shoved against one of my button raises. By that time I had moved up to 2nd in chips so it was an easy call with . My opponent turned over off-suit, and we were off to the flop...and oh what a flop it was: ! The turn and river offered him no relief and it was heads up. We played heads-up for about 15 minutes but, just before the blinds went to 300/600, my opponent proposed an equity chop. I had him T6,100 to T3,900 and WhoJedi (who had offered me a ride back to my condo) was ready to headed out, so I agreed. Even though it was a chop, the small win made me feel better.
After getting dropped off, I enjoyed a quite Thai dinner that involved conversations of Steve Martin, of all people, and then called it an early night. I'm probably going to play a few more satellites today, before heading home on Tuesday. Then I return to Vegas next weekend for the $600 NLH Venetian Deepstack.

The presence of interns eager to share in the process of providing hope, help, and healing to children, families and communities adds to the quality of our daily experiences. Over the years our interns have provided us with opportunities to reconnect with the theories that drive our practice, identify and challenge our areas of strength and pursue meaningful dialogue about the goals we are trying to accomplish.
For me, interns hold a special place in my heart because I can recall that time in my life vividly. Returning to school to obtain my MSW was driven by my goal of working with foster youth in some capacity that would support and empower them. My internships helped to solidify my commitment to working with this population. Thankfully, I was exposed to opportunities that challenged and nurtured my professional development. It is with that in mind that I welcome our 2012-2013 MSW interns.
We look forward to supporting, challenging and nurturing you through this important milestone in your professional journey. This work is not easy and the rewards are not always visible but by the end of your spring semester I believe, wholeheartedly, that if you commit to the experience you will know more about yourself as a professional social worker. Over the next several months my expectation for each of you is to be open to learning. My expectation for the KidsPeace Maryland team is for us to be open to learning from each of you.
Here are some tidbits I picked up over the years (as an intern and also while working with interns):
Again, we are truly excited to have you on board and wish all of you a terrific year with us.
Written by Ericka Chukwuanu, LGSW- Child Placement Supervisor
It sounds like such a simple proposal -- make time for family mealtime.
But with an increasing number of families juggling two work schedules, daycare, school and myriad extracurricular activities, it's becoming harder to sit down together at the same time every night. In an effort to get families back around the table, the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASAColumbia) started Family Day, to remind parents that "Dinner Makes a Difference!"
Family Day will be celebrated nationwide on Sept. 24, and all families can participate. Research from CASAColumbia has repeatedly shown that when parents engage their children in conversation during frequent family dinners, the children's chance of engaging in risky behaviors is reduced.
Family Day was started in 2001 and is always celebrated on the fourth Monday in September. So take the Family Day pledge today and continue to fight for healthier children and teens.
Katiana Faro's parents adopted her from the Ukraine when she was 3½ years old. At only 21 pounds, she had been classified as "failure to thrive," had been emotionally and physically deprived, had no language skills and couldn't see well. A fourth-degree bleed in her brain had left her with permanent damage, and doctors determined she had been exposed to alcohol before birth, although she didn't have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Six months after she was adopted, it was determined she also had severe hearing loss.
"From the moment I adopted her, it was constant problems," said her mom, Paula Faro of Katiana, now 15. "We were handling it when she was smaller. I used to have to hold her down six times a day to calm her down."
Still, her daughter's situation began to spiral out of control, with flashbacks and violent outbursts leading to constant visits to doctors, changes in medication and years of therapy. She endured 10 inpatient hospital admissions before a case manager finally mentioned that the Faros might want to look into residential treatment programs.
Katiana ended up at KidsPeace, mainly because it was the closest option to her New Jersey home. She stayed from February to July 2011, and though some days are still rocky, her mom says she sees marked improvement in her daughter since she has returned home.
"It was just years and years and years of daily crisis." Faro said of the time before KidsPeace. "That summer (after fourth grade) she just started talking about killing herself all the time."
For a long time, it felt as though there was no end in sight as Katiana acted out then developed side effects including Tourette Syndrome and seizures from her medications. But it was after she dropped two of the family's puppies on a tile floor, killing them, that her behavior got even worse.
"Once she admitted this, she said she wanted to go to jail, kill herself," Faro said. "She went out on the roof; she started a fire; she threatened to run away … "Coming to KidsPeace was kind of our last straw. We didn't know what else to do. We were getting to the point that we were looking at group homes. We had gone through so many years of this and it just wasn't getting better."
But at KidsPeace, Katiana told her family, she finally felt safe.
"She knew that they weren't going to let her hurt herself; other people were not going to be allowed to hurt her," Faro said. "There was always somebody there to talk to, so she felt cared for."
Faro said her daughter complained at first and missed her family, but since she has been home, much of her negative talk has dissipated, and she's not as obsessive.
"I think new pathways were made in her brain, I really do, because she finally got it. It was like a miracle. I had lost a lot of hope, and obviously I don't give up easily. But this was kind of her last shot," she said.
Katiana is now in ninth grade, although Faro says she operates on a level more akin to a fourth grader. There are times, when she has gotten upset, that she's actually called KidsPeace staff members to talk through her feelings. Faro said she wishes KidsPeace had a summer program to continue the positive experience her daughter had for the five months she was here because socially, she still struggles.
"She doesn't have any friends, so she's isolated a lot," Faro said, adding that her daughter's hearing loss and developmental delays make it hard for other teenagers to relate to her. "There's still a lot of loss. She won't be able to drive. She knows that she's not as smart as other people. She can't go to a regular high school like she wants to. It's sad. That's why it's important to keep up her self-esteem," Faro said. "Maybe once she's an adult, she'll be more able to connect with people."
Still, her mother looks at the positive changes that are impossible to ignore. Last year, for the first time in four years, Katiana didn't have to miss school because of her health, and she got good grades. She trusts adults now and doesn't try to push people away.
"Now that she's calm for the first time, I want her to just keep building her confidence and learning and moving forward to be a productive member of society," Faro said. "I see possibilities, whereas before I didn't know what else to do. It's good to know that KidsPeace is always there."

Terrell Owens not our problem anymore. The Allen Wranglers released him Tuesday after he failed to show up for a scheduled appearance at a children's hospital. His return to North Texas lasted about three months.
I don't like Owens, and I never have. And I have a great story to explain one of the reasons why:
Back in December 2007, Owens and Keyshawn Johnson got in a cat fight through the media. The subject was Bill Parcells, and how much he had to do with the Cowboys record (12-1 at the time) even though he wasn't their head coach anymore. Keyshawn was on ESPN Sunday Countdown, and while speaking directly into the camera told Owens to "leave this man alone."
You may remember the story. It became the lead on SportsCenter that night after Owens spoke in the locker room, saying that Keyshawn couldn't be a third or fourth receiver for the Cowboys, and the reason Keyshawn was "in the booth" was because Owens joined the Cowboys. It became a big he-said he-said, basically over nothing.
But here's what you don't know.
Owens called one of WFAA's reporters on the morning he was scheduled to speak with the media (he usually spoke once during the week, and then again after each game). Owens told this reporter - who's no longer with us - to ask about Keyshawn Johnson. This reporter had the day off and called George Riba to follow up.
Here's an important thing to keep in mind -- none of the Cowboys beat reporters had heard what Keyshawn said on TV. Dallas was playing in Detroit that week, it was a noon game, and everyone was there instead of watching the pre-game show. So when reporters met with Owens the following Wednesday, none of them thought to ask about Keyshawn's comments. The first 20 questions reporters asked that day were about other topics.
We didn't know what Keyshawn said either (I was with George as his photographer that day). All we knew was to ask Owens about what Keyshawn said about him. So finally, George asks Owens a very general and open-ended question, something like, "We understand Keyshawn said some things about you ... care to comment?" And Owens went off. The rest of his session with the media was spent bashing Keyshawn. Among the highlights:
"I'm probably the main reason he's in the booth right now," Owens said, referring to Keyshawn's departure after T.O. was signed. "It's uncharacteristic of him, but it doesn't surprise me. For me, if he's gonna be hater and throw me under the bus, (it's) because he and Bill are real good friends. Nobody would even know he won the Super Bowl unless you checked the roster. My thing is, we came out the same year. He was a first-rounder, I was a third rounder. I'm still playing, he's not. You compare our stats up until the time he retired, it's a no-brainer. I'd challenge him to come out and try to make this team. He'd be a third or fourth receiver at this point. He can hate all he wants to. Compare the stats, they don't lie. Here's a guy, writes the book, 'Give Me the Damn Ball,' and he has 106 catches and one touchdown, and that was off a tipped pass. I'll never do that in my career. He can hate all he wants to."
So all day long ESPN plays Owens' soundbites, and then brings in Keyshawn to respond, and it turns into the lead story on the 11 p.m. SportsCenter. It was a total attention grab by Owens; he had an agenda. It was calculated and he executed it.
Owens has always acted like the media is against him; he likes to play the victim. But I saw firsthand how he manipulated the media to make himself the lead story on ESPN. So good riddance, T.O. Do us a favor and stay gone.

Donations of Art
Donations to the City's TPA Program are an important part of the collection. Proposed donations or loans of Public Art shall undergo a review process to ensure that acceptance of such donations or loans takes place in a fair and uniform manner and supports the mission and goals of the TPA Program. Donations should be reviewed as carefully as works that are purchased or commissioned. Funds for maintenance and conservation of the Public Art collection are limited, as are the number of sites on municipal property that are suitable for donations or other future Public Art projects. Therefore a careful review process must evaluate proposed donations of Public Art according to the purposes, goals and selection criteria that guide the program as a whole.
A Task Force shall be appointed to review and accept all donations or loans of Public Art to be placed on City property. In part a sub-committee of the Public Art Committee, the Task Force shall consist of 3 members of the Public Art Committee and 2 members of the Architectural Review Commission, if pertinent.
Procedures: For each proposed donation of Public Art, a written proposal or letter of intent must be submitted to the TPA administrator. The proposal must include specifications of the proposed gift, including artist, title, dimensions, materials, date, proposed location, and the approval of the department responsible for the site.
The TPA administrator will refer the proposal to the Task Force for review. For existing work, the actual work of art will be presented for review when feasible in place of the first three items below. Proposals for commissioned works shall include:
Loans will include the information above, plus the duration of time that the artwork will be on City property and the arrangements for de-installation.
Task Force Review: The Task Force will review and discuss the proposal and move to accept or reject the proposed donation or loan. In cases where a donor has specified a site for the proposed artwork, the artwork must have the endorsement and approval for installation from the city department that oversees the site. Works of art accepted on the basis of maquettes or drawings will be subject to a review process, including inspection by a structural engineer during fabrication and installation. Specific plans for site design, installation and maintenance will be submitted for all necessary approvals. Costs for engineering and approvals shall be borne by the artwork donor. The artwork may not deviate from the proposal approved by the Task Force unless the Task Force approves such change in writing.
Criteria for Acceptance of Gifts: The review process will ensure that:
Memorial Gifts: Memorial gifts will also be judged on the following criteria to determine appropriateness:
Accession, Removal, Relocation or Deaccession of an Artwork: The donor shall complete and submit the Public Art gift form. Works may be relocated or removed if a gift becomes a hazard or liability, or if the approved terms of acceptance are not fulfilled, The Public Art Committee shall deaccession and dispose of works of art in its collection in accordance with its policies as described herein.
Associated Costs: The donor must underwrite the costs of fabrication and installation. If necessary to the project, the donor will also be responsible for engineering specifications, design and cost of pedestal, identification plaque, special lighting, structural support meeting all building codes and landscaping of site. The donor shall contribute 5% of the total commission cost to be put into a special maintenance fund to support maintenance of the Public Art collection. If the gift is on existing work of art, 5% of the appraisal value plus installation costs shall be put into this fund.

Dairy farmers protest again over milk prices
Angry farmers blockaded a Bridgwater dairy processing plant last night, for the third time in the space of a week, in protest at milk price cuts they claim are crippling their livelihood.
Protest group Farmers For Action organised blockades at several UK dairies, including Bridgwater's Robert Wiseman Dairy. The action follows the company's announcement that it's cutting its milk price by 1.7p per litre from August 1.
Meanwhile, Milk supplier Dairy Crest bowed to pressure today and agreed to put its planned milk price cut on hold for at least two months, after protests from farmers.
Farmers say if Somerset-based Robert Wiseman Dairy doesn't do the same they'll be protesting at the plant again tonight.

Many people think of asthma as a childhood disease, but it often occurs as a new condition in older adults.
Asthma in older adults presents some special concerns because the normal effects of aging can make asthma harder to diagnose.
It also can be hard to distinguish asthma from heart failure, which can cause wheezing, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which can cause a chronic cough.
A correct diagnosis is critical because the treatment of these diseases is very different.
Coughing, especially at night
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath
Breathing faster than normal
Getting out of breath easily
Feeling tired or weak
If you have any of these symptoms, see your health care provider.
As you learn to recognize your first signs of asthma, you can take additional medication to prevent a serious asthma exacerbation.
Before you begin any asthma treatment, be sure your doctor knows about all the medications you take because asthma drugs can have adverse side effects when taken with other medications.
It is important to learn correct inhaler technique before starting medications for asthma. Be sure that your doctor helps you understand which medicines you may need and the correct way to take your medicine. You may see an allergist to make the diagnosis and treatment plan for asthma.

WASHINGTON D.C. -- Illinois now has both of its Senators back in Washington.
Republican Senator Mark Kirk has returned to work in Washington after suffering a stroke last year. On Wednesday, Kirk recounted his experience in Washington, saying he was very close to dying.
"And he came in and said you have just ruined my weekend. and the MRI showed that your carotid artery has dissected meaning that the lining had pulled away and he said your highly likely to have a stroke right now," said Kirk. "And so, he obviously had my full attention and luckily I was still in the hospital when it all hit."
The junior senator has gone through months of physical therapy to learn to walk and speak again, he has limited movement on left side and speaks more slowly. He will have a reduced schedule while serving in the Senate and uses a cane to walk.
