"First and most importantly, I take responsibly for my conduct and my mistakes. Don't blame my girlfriend or her friends for anything. I am not looking for sympathy. I thank those who have given me concern. I have been young and dumb. I want to be better. During my suspension I'm entering counseling. With help, I know I can be stronger emotionally and spiritually. My relationship with God, my family, friends, teammates and coaches are most important in my life, not football. It may not be possible to fix everything, but it won't be for not trying. — Dorial Green Beckham"
Granted, "young and dumb" doesn't quite describe the depths to which Dorial Green-Beckham may have sunk (depending on your interpretation of the police report) last Saturday night. But in all, this statement, read by John Beckham to the Post-Dispatch's Dave Matter, is basically what you want to see as a response from the Missouri receiver at the moment. Hopefully we'll learn more about the "counseling," but that's not a bad first step toward righting whatever wrongs can be righted.
RE: DGB incident report -- one of Pinkel's most important lessons, to players both high school & college, is respect for women.
— Pete Scantlebury (@PeteScantlebury) April 10, 2014
At EVERY recruiting camp, Pinkel hammers that message -- respect for women -- home. Going to be interesting to see how this is handled.
— Pete Scantlebury (@PeteScantlebury) April 10, 2014
Last night, my wife compared it to The Biggest Loser. We began to watch that show at some point, but we decided it was completely unfair that they kicked people off from the very beginning before they got too far down the road of getting the help they needed. It kind of ruined the show for us.
This came up as we were discussing, for lack of a better phrase, DGB's situation. We were talking about potential discipline options, and I showed her Pete Scantlebury's tweets above. I told her I was basically fine with whatever suspension DGB gets, but that I hope Pinkel uses this incident as a template for going to further lengths to teach and stress and educate. I said that if he was kicked off the team, I wouldn't complain too much, but--
--and that's when she dropped in the Biggest Loser reference.
I've only been a parent for a couple of years, and I only have one. But in this minimal exposure to parenthood, I've quickly come to realize just how much of a sponge a child is. What you do with and around the child is quickly absorbed. If the child doesn't get attention, or gets the wrong attention, there's a bit of a short circuit. We're incredibly lucky to have the arrangement we have -- both parents and all four grandparents within a few minutes of each other and the kid -- but I still notice the difference when she doesn't get quite as much positive attention. I'm already a guilty liberal, blessed and/or cursed with a reservoir of empathy. Kids growing up in impossible situations deserve and receive a lot of it.
We all have DGB's backstory memorized thanks to his five-star recruiting status and the fight it took to get him to Columbia. He and his siblings were in just about the toughest situation. Let's flash back to a piece published at Fox Sports after he signed with Missouri.
Dorial was another who needed help, because of the struggles of his biological mother, who has a checkered past and is on probation for receiving stolen property, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections website. He is one of her six children, all of whom lived with her at one point for months in a van in Springfield.
"There was nothing but drugs and alcohol and men," Tracy Beckham said. "It was crazy."
Dorial and his younger half-brother, Darnell, do not know who their father is, Tracy Beckham said.
"I mean nobody knows," she said.
The Beckhams' relationship with Dorial stems from another student John Beckham met while coaching football at Hillcrest — Dorial's oldest half-brother, Vincent Tate. Tate was 6-foot-3 and oozed athleticism, but he played only a couple of games before he was injured and stopped showing up at school.
Tate is serving five years in prison for multiple offenses, including assault and a felony of possession of a controlled substance, according to the Missouri DOC website.
"He was a tremendous athlete, but he went to the dark side pretty fast," John Beckham said. "Who knows what he could have done? He could have been pretty special, too."
A grade behind Tate was Sam Smith, Dorial's second-oldest half-brother, whom the Beckhams had seen play in junior high. The Beckhams helped Smith become eligible to play football as a freshman at Hillcrest High.
When Smith played games, Tracy Beckham picked up Dorial and younger half-brother Darnell Green from Boys & Girls Town of Missouri, a home for abused and neglected children, where they lived with Smith. The trips were an escape for the two brothers, and Tracy Beckham would take the two to McDonald's before they went to watch their brother in action.
"It was really hard at some points," Dorial said of his early childhood.
When you are struggling to even get by, when you are shuffling from home (and van) to home, I imagine it becomes hard not to miss developmental checkpoints. Maybe you catch up without any harm done, but it's hard. The dark side is always nearby. And when it corrupts some of the people close to you, everything gets exponentially harder.
Nothing in the world will justify what Dorial Green-Beckham allegedly did late last Saturday night; even the most rose-colored interpretation of testimony, text messages, etc., paints a picture of an angry DGB barging through the door of an apartment as someone is trying to close it, pushing a girl out of the way, and not pausing or taking stock of the situation (or his emotions) when she accidentally falls down a few stairs and hurts her hand/wrist. Even if everything else in the story was exaggerated or not as bad as it sounds, that's bad enough. We all get angry, but when we start to lose control of ourselves, there has to be something to reel us back in; DGB didn't get reeled back in, at least not enough. Again, nothing justifies that.
But knowing his background, and assuming that he probably isn't going to be kicked off of the football team -- one would assume that would have happened by now if it was going to happen* -- all I hope for is punishment that works. I honestly don't care about the length or magnitude of the punishment; I just want it to be effective.
* There's always a chance that the student conduct board, or the curators, or some third party gets involved. There's also a chance we learn about more domestic incidents that would make it hard to keep him on the team. But from what we know at this specific time, I assume he remains on the squad.
In Mike Alden's latest Mizzou Network interview, he talks a very good game about culture and respect and some of the programs Mizzou has implemented.
"We constantly talk to our young men and women about the fact that not only are we focused on our academic integrity and our competitiveness of what we do, but from a social responsibility standpoint, we want to make sure we're growing as men and women every day, and we're positive representatives of our institution, of our teams, of our program, of our families, whatever that may be. That's something we continuously and constantly work with our young men and women on: to be able to grow as men and women. And Tigers."
On a program called "Men for men and women for women"...
"Those were programs that were initiated by our student athletes at Mizzou, and what those are focused in on with regards to our women and our men, as far as our athletes are concerned, they get together as groups and they talk about common interests and issues relative to respect, to responsibility, to discovery, to excellence, the core values of our institution. How we can reflect those each and every day, how we can use personal experiences to be able to grow, how we can make sure that we're constantly talking about respecting one another, our commonalities and our differences, and how we can make sure that we elevate. I'm so proud of the way our men and women have embraced that effort. It's been initiated by them, and certainly it's something that's really benefited our entire athletic program. It has really become a model for many other programs around the country.
"I've been so pleased with the way our coaching staff and our general staff have embraced that and certainly are part of that effort, working together with our men and women as they grow."
On Dr. McGuire's positive coaching program...
"The positive coaching program that we have with Rick at the University of Missouri once again is a program that's a national model. People look at that and assume that's only for coaches. The reality is we're all coaches, right? Whether we're parents, whether we're coaches as parents, whether we're friends ... neighbors ... to be able to reflect that in a positive way, making sure that we're accentuating the positive efforts and modeling appropriate behavior and talking about those activities...
"For us at Mizzou, the logo never comes off. It NEVER comes off. So wherever we are, whether it has to do with, we're in line at the grocery store, or we're competing on the basketball court, or we're walking around the community, whatever that may be, the logo never comes off. And we want to make sure that we're reflecting that in a way that certainly showcases the positive aspects of the University of Missouri and us as individuals and teammates at Mizzou."
That all sounds great. These are things you want your athletic director to say. But one doesn't know how well a culture has been established until it is tested, and this month has been quite a test. As they say about leadership, it's not about the original plan, it's about what you do when the original plan fails. The DGB situation offers Alden, Gary Pinkel, and other decision-makers an opportunity to set a trend of sorts. Preaching respect is fine; what happens when the original message doesn't break all the way through?
If DGB is suspended for six games, that's fine. Four games? Fine. Two doesn't quite seem like enough, but again, I just want it to work. DGB has one last chance, and I want him to learn the lessons that haven't quite hit all the way home yet.
I'm not sure there is any better place to learn about respect, women, life, yourself, etc., than on a college campus. We all know this is DGB's last year at Mizzou, either because he gets kicked out or he declares for the draft. But in the absence of a degree, there are other lessons he needs to be learning. "Counseling," whatever that actually entails in this situation, is the first step in that direction. If I were Pinkel and company, I'd be looking into having him speak with domestic assault victims, with women's groups on campus, with female leaders within the Mizzou athletic community. With Rick McGuire, one on one. With an anger management specialist. (Actually, considering the events of the last week or so, let's just have all athletes meet with an anger management specialist.) Be constructive, be creative. Reach him. It appears he may be willing.
Maybe a half-season suspension really is enough. Maybe after this past weekend, it finally clicked that he has to improve himself before he destroys his future. His statement is just a statement, but it's a hint that this might be the case. But maybe a lesser amount of games and the aforementioned seminars/conversations are better. I'm not really sure. But whatever punishment is announced, I just want it to work. He has long had my empathy, and perhaps none of us will even begin to understand how hard it was to grow up like he grew up. But it's time to start fixing the problem. Efforts to date have not done that, and empathy runs out at some point. The tank is close to empty.
I want Dorial Green-Beckham to take advantage of this final chance that he's been given (if he has indeed been given one). He's lucky to get another chance at all, of course; one has to figure that an arrest and charges might have been the end of his time here, and even though his girlfriend's roommate probably should have pressed charges, she didn't.
We could certainly say that he deserves a lucky break after the bad breaks he got growing up, but he was blessed with almost super-human athleticism. That's a break in and of itself, and because of that, he got another break this past week. Barring jail time, he'll end up making money in the NFL regardless of how and when his career ends in college. But I want his story to be one of redemption and holding demons at bay. Last weekend showed that the demons are a lot closer to winning than we perhaps realized. And maybe they already have. It's up to him to prove they haven't, and it's up to Pinkel, Alden, and the university to figure out the best way to keep them at bay. The logo never comes off; Dorial Green-Beckham is Missouri, and if it's not too late to find a positive ending to this story, here's to finding it.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. — Sharpen your pencils. If you're one of the many people who love the wonders of Indiana's state parks, and you're perhaps a budding or accomplished author, it's a moment to shine.
Local authors Stacy Savage and Kathy Gerstorff are seeking submissions of poems and short stories for publication in a new book they plan to publish this fall. Proceeds from the book, to be titled "Naturally Yours: Poems and short stories about Indiana State Parks and Reservoirs," will be donated to give school children more access to state parks.
"My husband and I visited seven state parks last summer and with every visit, it made me want to do a book about the parks even more," said Savage. "I wanted to capture the parks in all their glory, not just through my eyes, but through the eyes of those who appreciate the tranquility and wonder of the parks as much as I do."
This will be Savage's sixth book celebrating nature. All but one of them were published to benefit charities that help wildlife and nature. The Anderson native grew up going camping with her family at different Indiana state parks.
"My childhood was so much fun because of those experiences at the parks," said Savage, 38. "The parks gave me so much and the book is one way of giving back to the parks. Now, more children will be able to experience the excitement and joy that a state park can bring, as I did in my childhood."
One of Savage's previous publications was "Poetic Nature in the Hoosierland," an anthology of poems about nature by Indiana poets, with Angie Manuel. Manuel was an interpretive naturalist at Mounds State Park at the time. Proceeds from the book went to Mounds State Park.
Gerstorff, who in April won the poetry contest Savage and Mounds State Park sponsored, has a similar longstanding love of the parks.
"I formed a love affair with Mounds State Park. It kind of felt like home," said Gerstorff, 50, whose homebase is Montpelier. "I just kind of formed a bond with that place," said Gerstorff.
That bond began to form when Gerstorff was just 14 years old. After getting out of an abusive home, she lived with her aunt and uncle who took her camping at Mounds, creating some happy memories and ultimately inspiring Gerstorff's winning poem "Mounds of Love."
"It just kind of reflects how I feel about Mounds being a great place. You can go there and connect with nature," said Gerstorff. She also authored two books of poetry and short stories to benefit child abuse prevention and awareness.
Savage and Gerstorff are now collaborating on and underwriting the new project, and they'll be reviewing and selecting the submissions for the book.
"It will be a book that represents all there is to do at the parks and how much [people] would benefit from the parks," said Savage.
Proceeds from the book will go to the Discovering the Outdoors Fund in the Indiana Natural Resources foundation. The fund was established to provide grants to school groups for field trips to state parks and reservoirs.
"It's giving our youth an opportunity to experience the beauty and splendor of our state parks and reservoirs – an opportunity that might be missed without the help of the Discovering the Outdoors Fund," said Savage.
Writers may submit up to three poems or short stories, with a 32-line limit per poem or 3,000-word limit per story. Each entry must be about one of Indiana's 24 state parks or eight reservoirs. Check out www.stateparks.IN.gov for a list. Deadline for submissions is July 31, via mail.
Expected publication for the book is this fall. Authors of items selected for publication will not receive any compensation since all proceeds will be donated to the Discovering the Outdoors Fund.

A strange ecclectic album from canadian metal legends Voiviod. Think Pink Floyd meets a little metal here. This album was largely ignored/unknown as the band's label support came out from under them (they only managed to play a few tour dates in canada to support this record).Lots of compression on the production side gives this album lofty feel and not as much of a metal edge as say Nothingface (and the earlier albums). You can feel yourself glide along the water on "The Prow".. what a great tune. Piggy's ethereal guitar work and Away's MONSTER skin pounding dominate this album. The drum work is not just impressive it has purpose. Away builds varying rythyms during a couple of tunes.. startling. This album maintains a very specific feel to all the songs (the keyboard parts really add to the atmosphere). The only tune out of place is "None of the Above"…the lyrical content just doesnt fit with the rest of this stellar album. Away's artwork on the CD/liner is brilliant as usual and really lends to the theme of the whole album. This is barely not a 5 star CD.. unique, inspired.. even after all these years.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
While not as progged-out as _Nothingface_ or the follow-up _The Outer Limits_, one has to think that if Voivod is one of metal's great undiscovered pleasures then this is their most underrated moment. This album is a masterpiece of colorful neo-psychadelic textures and magnificent musical economy. Songs like the majestic and cosmic "Clouds In My House", the space-age "Nuage Fractal" and especially the stunning title track show Voivod approaching Rush through Pink Floyd's eyes. Piggy's (guitarist Denis D'Amour) riffing is simply masterful on this album and wholly original, retaining elements of Alex Lifeson, the glissando guitar of Steve Hillage and the jagged chording of Robert Fripp. Not to be outdone, drummer Michael Langevin kicks up a storm on "Best Regards" while Snake (lead vocalist Denis Belanger) turns in a suprisingly melodic and restrained performance, while leading a lyrical shift away from the typical "Adventures of the Voivod" style of writing; Hard-driving bassist Jean-Yves Theriault – despite leaving the band almost immediately after the album's release and only getting a studio musician credit – still makes his presence felt on "The Golem." Although the complexity of the songwriting has been toned down just a bit here there are still surprising twists and turns in each of the songs, perhaps most exhibited by the psychadelic interlude in "Twin Dummy". Possibly stung by the poor commercial reception for this album, only the hard-driving "The Prow" still remains a live staple for the band today. Not enough bands make such thoughtful, textured music like this anymore. All in all, an excellent and unfortunately out-of-print album that is well worth hunting down.
Voivod's ANGEL RAT is a 1991 album that was sadly overlooked at the time of its release…It was produced by Terry Brown, who has worked w/ Rush. The album bridges the gap in between the thrash metal Voivod of the eighties & the "mature" sound that the band carried into the nineties & beyond.
At the time of its release, ANGEL RAT saw the band carrying on as a three-piece machine, w/ Denis "Snake" Belanger/Vox, Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (R.I.P.)/Guitar/Keyboards, and Michel "Away" Langevin/Drums. Although Voivod was without the services of Jean-Yves "Blacky" Theriault (Bass), the album still maintains a full sound throughout.
ANGEL RAT continues the band's musical direction that was put forth on NOTHINGFACE (1989). Musically, this album is somewhere in between metal & prog. rock. Standout tracks include "Clouds In My House," "Golem," & "None Of The Above." Lyrically, this album dabbles in the Sci/Fi genre w/ abstract words painted over esoteric layered guitars.
Check this album out!! Get lost inside it!! It can be purchased for a few bucks (used), so it's worth the trip!!
Also, check out Voivod's "Nothingface" & "Outer Limits," which are both musically & lyrically similar in style.
if you have never heard voivod,and your tastes run towards the power metal/progressive metal subgenres,this album will most surely satisfy.
if you are already a voivod fan,but dissed this when it first came out because they "sold-out",well you need to re-evaluate.
this album is,in a word,incredible
Every bit as good as "Nothingface" and "Dimension Hatross", "Angel Rat" got lost in the shuffle for no good reason. While they'd always straddled the border between thrash metal and progressive rock, this was the album where they veered furthest into the prog region. Many of their fans weren't ready for this direction at the time (myself included). But hindsight has vindicated this album, artistically if not commercially. It is the band's loss and your gain that this album can usually be found in the cutout bin. Timeless.

Welcome to Bellarmine and welcome to the New Employee section. You will find important information concerning your employment - HR forms and additional resources - helpful to new employees. Contact the Office of Human Resources with any additional questions at 502.272.8435 or visit our offices in Horrigan Hall - Room 213.
Bellarmine University is committed to maintaining a work and study environment free of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. In keeping with our commitment, the Board of Trustees has approved a University-wide policy that prohibits sexual harassment and discrimination. As such, every member of the staff and faculty must participate in an educational program called "Preventing Sexual Harassment" within two weeks after the date of hire. This program outlines the prevailing laws on sexual harassment and the University's policies and procedures for reporting sexual harassment. It also provides examples to illustrate the kinds of words and behavior that might reasonably be regarded as sexual harassment and, therefore, should be avoided.
While this educational program primarily focuses on sexual harassment, the principles apply essentially the same way to all forms of discriminatory harassment. You may believe that these principles may not apply to you or that you will never be subjected to harassment or discrimination. However, we must treat these policies seriously. This educational module has been adopted by more than a hundred universities around the country in addition to other numerous organizations.
This module will take about 45 minutes to complete. If you can't do so in one sitting, no problem! Just bookmark the place where you stopped, and you can return to that spot later. If you are a non-exempt staff person, you should complete it on Bellarmine's time – even if you access it from home. The module includes a test at the end (you must work through the entire module first) to insure that you have read all the materials, including Bellarmine's policies. Supervisors must achieve a passing score of 90% while non-supervisors and faculty must achieve a score of 86%. Why the difference in scores? Because the law holds supervisors, as agents of the University, to a higher standard of conduct and knowledge. You should print a certificate showing that you completed the test. Please send a copy of that certificate to HR right away.
If you need assistance while completing this module, please contact Human Resources. When you first go to the site, you will have to select the category of employee most appropriate to you, i.e., Supervisory (you evaluate and oversee the work of another employee), Non-Supervisory or Faculty. If you are unsure into which category you fall, please contact HR for clarification.
Simply click on this website or log onto the site from home: http://training.newmedialearning.com/psh/bellarmineu/
In the words of Dr. Joseph McGowan, Bellarmine president:
As a university community, our goal must be to foster an environment thatrecognizes the worth and potential of every individual. We must communicate respect among all members. We strive for an inclusive community because it is the right thing to do. I trust that you share my resolve to ensure a campus atmosphere that advances both the University's mission and its reputation for excellence.
Thank you for giving this university mandate your timely attention.

LOS ANGELES (AP/KTTV) - A preliminary investigative report on last month's private jet accident at Santa Monica Airport provides no indication of why the aircraft crashed into a hangar, killing the pilot and three passengers.
The National Transportation Safety Board report dated Tuesday says witnesses to the Sept. 29 accident observed the twin-engine Cessna 525A make a normal approach and landing after a flight from Hailey, Idaho.
The airplane traveled down the right side of the runway, eventually veered off to the right, hit a sign indicating 1,000 feet of runway remained and continued its right turn until it hit a hangar and burned.
The report says there was no airplane debris on the runway and the three landing gear tires were inflated and had no unusual wear.
The four people killed had traveled to Idaho for the weekend. the bodies of a dog and two cats also were found in the wreckage.

Welcome to Student Activities
It is a proven fact that students who are involved in out-of-class activities are more positive about their college experience; more satisfied with their social life, living environment, and academic major; and more likely to graduate from college than a student who was not involved.
A well-rounded curriculum and involvement in campus life is the most appropriate preparation for future executives and leaders.

On April 11, a large number of people affiliated with KPFA radio station convened at Laney College in Oakland to discuss a number of issues that have been plaguing the station for decades and are threatening to rip it apart with a race and class civil war. Unaddressed racial and class disparities at KPFA have caused a number of Black broadcasters to abandon ship.

This is but one example of many acts of interdependence, love and revolution achieved by our family of poor and indigenous peoples at POOR Magazine. It is how we walk, live, struggle, dream, activate and revolutionize. It is what launched Homefulness, it is what started POOR Magazine and it is what kept me and my po' Black-Indian Mama Dee alive.
November 30, 2012
In 2012 POOR Magazine's family of landless, indigenous peoples and revolutionary donors took back a small slice of Pachamama to begin the construction of the self-determined housing, education, community garden and art revolution we call HOMEFULNESS. In 2013, with your revolutionary donation to our new Indiegogo Equity Campaign, we can start the building of this global template for change!

Reporting and supporting as a revolutionary poverty journalist, I have done multiple stories on the increasing criminalization suffered by houseless peoples in the U.S. As a daughter raised in a houseless family, I was personally cited, arrested and eventually incarcerated for the act of being houseless and living in the car with my mama.
November 29, 2012
From the Mission District in San Francisco, to West, North and now East Oakland, several neighborhoods in LA, young Black and Brown men, convening, talking, laughing, being young, are viewed as "dangerous," "suspect" or criminal. Laws like the gang injunction are instituted and applied, and eventually we are completely wiped away like we were never there.

Unseen scars are what so many of our single parents in poverty are struggling with, living with, pushing through. Add the requisite criminalization of poor parents through welfare systems, child protective services, landlords and school systems and, for immigrant parents, the anti-immigrant hate and racism; it is a constant battlefield.
November 26, 2012
It had been over 20 years since me and my mama were houseless on the streets of LA, sleeping in our car and facing police harassment for the sole act of being poor and without a roof in the U.S. The only place we could go to get a break was skid row because it was the one place the police seemed to leave us alone. Now I was back, but something was bizarrely wrong.
November 25, 2012
The story of the violent crime of foreclosure and its roots in capitalist greed has been covered, albeit rarely, in mainstream and independent media. But the never heard voices are those of the thousands of families and disabled elders – majority people of color, like Ms. Galves – who have been literally thrown into the streets post-foreclosure and are now homeless.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The March primary is less than two months away.
Thursday night in Peoria, the four Republican candidates for Governor debated the issues.
The candidates, for the most part, restrained themselves from bashing each other. They focused instead on how poorly, they say, the state has fared under the Quinn administration.
All of the candidates said they want to see the state run in a more business-like fashion, and all agreed that changing the way Illinois educates its children is a major objective.
"What we should do is study how some of the best run states around America fund their education and compare and contrast what we do with them, and steal their best ideas," said Bruce Rauner. "Education is the single most important thing we do together collectively as a community.
State Treasurer Dan Rutherford said he would be in favor of changing the tax system that supports the schools, with one stipulation.
"If it was a local decision and the local district, whether it be county or school district, were the ones to help make that decision," said State Treasurer Dan Rutherford.
Senator Kirk Dillard blames the city of Chicago for taking more than a billion dollars more in school funding than he says is needed. Dillard is looking for more equality in funding.
"For too long this state has been controlled by one city and it doesn't bode well for school funding," said Sen. Dillard. "The best way to close that gap between the "haves" and the "have-nots" is to close that gap and for the state to do its share on education."
Bloomington Senator Bill Brady said funding for education is dependent on improving the state's economy.
"The truth of the matter is we're never going to have enough money for education until we rebuild Illinois' economy," said Sen. Brady. "We've got to have a Governor that will focus like a laser on bringing jobs back to this state."
All four candidates touted their elect-ability, something the public will decide in March.

Beautiful. Elegant. Mysterious. Enchanting. Mesmerising.
All synonyms used to describe the wonderful Japanese Geisha, and all synonyms to describe how I felt today.
If you've read my birthday post, you'll remember that my amazing Rich organised for me to have a Geisha makeover as part of his birthday present to me. And I got to do that today :)
I arrived at Katsura Studio at 11am sharp today, warmly greeted by five attentive staff. After establishing that I could speak a little Japanese, they got me to select the style of makeover: Maiko or Geisha. Maiko are apprentice Geisha, and wear slightly different kimonos and headdresses. I selected a black Geisha kimono, and the three poses I wanted to do, and was ushered to the changing room to undress and put on the undergarments and yukata so they could proceed with applying the makeup.
They started with a coat of wax to prime my skin, then smoothed on a white base all over my face, neck, and some of my shoulders. After that, they put a hint of pink foundation over my eyes and cheeks, and the sides of my nose. Next, they put red both on my lips, and as the outline of my new eyebrows. After applying layers of black eyeliner and mascara, they put a layer of black over the red of my eyebrows. Red was also applied to the corner of my eyes, then some false eyelashes were glued in place, and finished off with more liquid eyeliner.
Following the makeup application, it was time to get dressed. The kimono is a very intricate garment with many layers. But all the pulling, squeezing, tightening, and not being able to breathe, is worth the end result :) The makeover package gives you three photos to take home, but they also allow you to take your own camera in with you and they will happily take as many photos as you like! The photographer also took extra shots which they asked if they could use on their website and for advertising.
I am so pleased with how it turned out, and ecstatic that I'll have these amazing photos from my time in Japan! Here are some of the wonderful images captured today. The rest can be found on Flickr.

Our grandsons had the time of their life. There were only two other children on the ship, but that turned out to not be a problem. We were so proud of them and the way they behaved. They made so many friends among the staff and loved being treated to chocolate milkshakes every day.
Even thought the Celebrity Xpedition is not a typical cruise ship with shows etc, we were fortunate to have live piano music in the evenings during cocktail hour, and considering where we were, the food was excellent. Wonderful fresh fish every night if you wanted it. There were always at least 6 entrees to choose from. Breakfast and Lunch were always buffet, with the lunches being a different country theme.
Truly a trip of a lifetime, and one I would recommend to anyone who likes a bit of adventure. I can't imagine going any other way except on Celebrity Xpedition.

In her first five seasons, Whitman reeled off 19 victories in 22 matches against Northwest Conference opponents, never losing more than one league match in a season. In 1988, her squad posted a 17-4 record overall while winning conference and district championships. That season's team captain, Lynn Greer, advanced to the semi-final round of the NCAA Div. III national championships in both singles and doubles (along with partner Stephanie Turner).
What promises to be a new era of success arrived in the fall of 1995 with a talented group of first-year players. McCarthy, a two-time conference coach-of-the-year, watched as her young squad won nine of 11 matches late in the 1996 spring season.
And while winning has its place, McCarthy emphasizes that there's more to tennis -- and life -- than just winning.
"I stress the importance of a good education, and how important that is for women," she said. "I love working with the young women who play tennis at Whitman, and I put 100 percent of my energy and emotion into their progress, both on and off the court."
"I want my players to understand that winning and tennis is not the end-all," McCarthy added. "They're going to have a life after tennis. I want their experience with our tennis program to help them mature and be successful later in life."
McCarthy grew up in Walla Walla and earned a bachelor's degree in French at the University of Washington. Not until she was 24 years old, however, did she take up the game of tennis. She was living in Japan at the time, traveling throughout the Orient while working for Mikimoto Pearls.
She and Jim McCarthy, a 1963 graduate of Whitman, married in 1970 and have played in countless mixed doubles tournaments through the years. Jayne also competes as a member of a local U.S. Tennis Association team that includes Jan Rolfe, an associate vice president of development at Whitman. Jim, a member of the Whitman Board of Overseers and vice president at Baker Boyer Bank in Walla Walla, recently shared in a Washignton state men's doubles age-division championship.
In recent years, the couple's two sons, Derek and Ryan, have anchored the varsity tennis teams at Walla Walla High School. Ryan, the younger of the two, will graduate from Wa-Hi in the spring of 1996 and is gunning for his fourth consecutive trip to the state high school tennis tournament. Derek, also a tennis stand-out at Wa-Hi, now competes on the varsity squad at Willamette University.

Brian Cashman commented on the Mike Francesca Show today that he made a "significant" offer to Robinson Cano already. Judging by the way it was discussed it seemed that Cano, and his agent Scott Boras, didn't agree with the offer and have either done nothing with it or passed on the proposed extension all together. Hal Steinbrenner had recently commented about the organization's desire to retain their star second baseman and that talks had started between the two parties. Considering that Scott Boras almost never allows his clients to sign extensions and the Yankees' aversion to even discussing them, it seemed entirely unlikely that this could really happen.
However, if the Yankees have made a pitch it's entirely likely they could change their policy or at least make an exception for the player who is likely to be the most sought after free agent after the season. Signing him now wouldn't save a lot of money, but it will prevent them from having to bid against almost any team with a $100M+ payroll and the clout to throw their money around. Teams like the free spending Dodgers, Cubs, Rangers and others could be in the hunt for Cano, so in case the negotiations hit a snag the Yankees won't have to be afraid of losing him to a surprise mega deal out of nowhere. Negotiating now gives them a second chance to sign him if they need it.
The Yankees definitely need it all the time they can get because agreeing to a contract that could possibly be up near 10 years and $200 is not something you do on a whim. Hopefully everyone can save themselves a lot of trouble with a real life contract extension. Maybe this could mean a change in the way the Yankees do business. We'll have to see.
UPDATE: Now you can listen to Cashman yourself.

Police are looking for the gunman who forced his way into the home of an 81-year-old man. They say it's the first home invasion in Burlington Township in quite some time, but insist it was not random.
They say the victim was specifically targeted.
Some time between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday, the gunman walked up to the victim's door.
Lt. Bruce Painter of the Burlington Township Police Dept. described what happened next: "Rang his doorbell, and when he answered the door, was confronted by a white male armed with a handgun, who then forced his way into his house."
Once inside the home, the gunman tied the elderly victim to a chair and ransacked the place.
Black dust was still visible on the victim's screen door, where police investigators dusted for fingerprints.
FOX 29 is not identifying the victim, for his safety. He told us he was not injured.
"No, my arms got a couple of bruises on them... from blood thinners, from when (he) tied me up," he said.
The victim, who managed to free himself after about a half hour, did not want to talk about what happened. And police are providing few details, except to say, "We don't feel this was a random act. We feel he was targeted due to his employment," Painter said. "Our victim deals in precious metals."
The victim is working closely with police, who believe the gunman may be trying to pawn the stolen property.
Detectives though could use some help.
"We don't know if a car was used to get away, if he ran off on foot, we don't know," Painter said. "So if there's anything out there that anyone saw in that time frame last night that can help us, we'd appreciate a phone call."
Police had hoped to release a sketch of the gunman. But after a couple of hours of work, police say the victim and the artist reached an impasse. Police say they were not willing to release an inaccurate sketch.

Jeff Green's lay-up with a half-second left finished a 14-point rally by the Boston Celtics Wednesday night over the Indiana Pacers 83-81 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Kevin Garnett found Green all alone under the basket with the score tied at 81. Green caught the ball to the left of the basket and went up for the game-winning shot over Paul George on the right side.
"Just didn't make enough plays. I think their last four points were...Avery Bradley got one, he snuck around back door and then Jeff Green did the same thing. Just no communication. We just weren't solid enough," David West said of the closing minutes.
Garnett had 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Boston, who hadn't led since midway through the first quarter. The Pacers had led by as many as 14 points in the third quarter, but couldn't close the deal.
"Part of the lesson you learn throughout an 82-game season is that, when in the playoffs, you know you gotta execute offensively down the stretch and we didn't do that well enough tonight," said head coach Frank Vogel.
"Nights like this, this was a great opportunity for us to prepare for the playoffs. To slip up and not be able to take this one and take care of this win, we want to nip this in the bud, so it's good we talked about it (in the locker room)," said Danny Granger.
George led the Pacers with 16 points. All five starters finished in double figures in points, including Roy Hibbert, who tallied his 14th double-double of the season with 12 points and 12 rebounds.
The Pacers won't practice on Thursday, but will travel to Florida for a double-dip playoff rematch, Friday at Orlando, then Sunday against the Miami Heat.

Jimmy Cliff on Career 'Rebirth'...
Jimmy Cliff On Career 'Rebirth' And The Nature Of Success
by NPR STAFF Full article
Without a doubt, the two artists most responsible for bringing reggae to the world stage are Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. Cliff became one of Jamaica's first international superstars in the 1960s, scoring hits in the U.K. and Brazil. He's best known for the 1972 film The Harder They Come, both as its lead actor and for three now-legendary songs included on its soundtrack.
Jimmy Cliff: I'm at the point where I'm taking my career to the next level. It kind of started out when the new millennium began, and up to 2010 when I received the induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — that was like a stepping stone up to the next ladder. I had started writing this album without knowing I was going to call it Rebirth, but I had quite a bit of the songs before. So, that's about the rebirth of Jimmy Cliff's career. The rebirth of the planet is also about the new time that we're coming into. We're coming into a new time when all the old laws and ways are breaking down.In time, the world would embrace Bob Marley as reggae's ambassador; Jimmy Cliff never tasted that level of success. But on his newest album, Cliff sounds as hungry and as vital as he ever did, like a man claiming what was rightfully his all along. In an interview with NPR's Guy Raz, Cliff says the record's title, Rebirth, refers both to his own career and to humanity at large.

LONAVALA, India (Nov. 1, 2006) – In a symbol of how people from all backgrounds can work in harmony, a group of Indian and Pakistani students today worked at Habitat for Humanity's 2006 Jimmy Carter Work Project to help build houses together with families in need. The 2006 project will see 100 homes built in a village near Lonavala, Oct. 30 – Nov. 3, 2006.
The 10 youth volunteers from a group called Seeds of Peace hail from Lahore, Pakistan; and Mumbai, India. They helped volunteers working on two houses by painting window frames on the third day of the Habitat event.
One of Pakistani students, Zunaira Hijazi, was touched by the warmth of the reception the Seeds of Peace group received. "The home partner family has been very sweet, they get me water and when I can't reach for something, they stack bricks for me to step on."
The Habitat home partner, Beby Tatyabai Kakre, will soon be moving into her new Habitat for Humanity home from her brother's house, which she shares with her family.
When she became a Seed of Peace member a few years ago, Zunaira attended an international camp in Maine, where she learned about empathy, respect and peaceful co-existence. "Building homes in India is putting what we have learned into practice," she said.
The Seeds of Peace volunteers will be building with Habitat until the last day of the project on Friday. When asked if she will be returning to India for another visit, Zunaira's answer was a definite "yes".
"We are delighted to have the Seeds of Peace volunteers join Habitat for Humanity this week," said Steve Weir, Habitat for Humanity's vice president for the Asia-Pacific region. "Overcoming the scourge of substandard housing both in South Asia and elsewhere in the world demands that we pool our talents, our ideas and our expertise and work together. Everyone deserves a safe, decent and affordable home they can call their own."
Seeds of Peace, a non-profit organization based in Maine, was founded in 1993 by journalist Don Wallach. The organization is dedicated to empowering young leaders from regions of conflict with the leadership skills required to advance reconciliation and co-existence. Through international camps, conferences and workshops, Seeds of Peace helps to cultivate the leadership, communication and negotiation skills that will ensure peaceful co-existence for the next generation.
This year's JCWP event is associated with Habitat for Humanity's "indiaBUILDS" program. The five-year campaign plans to engage 1 million volunteers in helping to provide shelter in partnership with 250,000 people in India. The campaign also seeks to raise funds for a sustainable revolving fund worth US$50 million.
The Carters are Habitat's most famous volunteers. Each year since 1984, the Carters have given one week of their time to build homes and raise awareness about the need for simple, decent and affordable housing. Previous JCWP events have been held in the United States (in New York City, Georgia and Michigan), the Philippines, Hungary, South Korea and South Africa. Habitat's JCWP 2007 will be in Los Angeles, California.

Major partners include Citigroup, Dow India, Vedanta Resources, Posco India, Whirlpool Corporation, Cisco, HDFC Ltd., Aditya Birla Group and Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

New York, 22 January 2001
Mr. President, Distinguished Members of the Board, Colleagues, Friends, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am delighted to welcome all of you to this, our First Regular Session of 2001 - a year of immense significance for the United Nations Children's Fund - and most of all, for the children we serve.
For just as this year marks the true beginning of the new Millennium, I have every expectation that it will also be remembered as the dawn of a new era in human development - a turning point that began when the whole world said "yes" to all rights for all children.
Mr. President, before I go any further, I want to welcome our new Bureau members.
I also want to express my sincere appreciation to our outgoing Board President, Ambassador Anwarul Karim Chowdhury of Bangladesh, whose seasoned leadership and wise counsel have helped guide UNICEF as we work to shape a new global agenda for children in the 21st Century. I know I speak for everyone in applauding his contributions.
At the same time, I want to congratulate his successor, Ambassador Movses Abelian of Armenia, into whose able hands the gavel has now been passed. UNICEF is fortunate to have people of such calibre leading our Board - especially as we embark on the final hectic months of preparation for the General Assembly's Special Session on Children.
Distinguished Delegates, last week brought fresh reminders of the urgency of our mission, of the vulnerability of the many millions of children and women we are pledged to serve - and of the risks faced by UNICEF staff members and our UN and NGO colleagues, especially in the humanitarian emergencies that have become so much a focus of our work.
In El Salvador's devastating earthquake and mudslide, the world has once again witnessed UNICEF at its best, moving quickly to help ease the suffering of children and their families. There, young people themselves are helping, working in damage-assessment teams as UNICEF staffers and our partners fight disease, reunite separated children - and help to get schools up and running again as centres not only for learning, but for healing and rebuilding.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo and elsewhere in Africa, new violence and instability has thrown children and families into new peril - and raised fresh concerns about the day-to-day safety of UNICEF staffers, who continue to work valiantly to reach the most-affected children.
Mr. President, all of us recognise that humanitarian work is becoming ever more dangerous, and that some losses are inexplicable.
Yet the growing number of deliberate attacks on UN staff have made it clear that decisive action by the international community is needed - not only to see to it that host countries ensure the security of humanitarian workers, but to provide additional resources to ensure better training, better communications, and better equipment.
I intend to speak to the important issue of staff security in more detail on Friday, when we will meet jointly with the Executive Boards of UNDP, UNFPA and WFP.
Finally, Mr. President, there was one more piece of staff news: last week's wrenching report of the helicopter accident that killed our UNICEF colleague and friend Matthew Girvin and three other UN staffers during a humanitarian relief mission in northern Mongolia. Five others, Mongolian and Japanese nationals, also died.
Matthew was a talented and loving member of the UNICEF family, as courageous as he was dedicated to the hard work of giving every child a better future.
His tragic death - a month before his 37th birthday - is a terrible loss for UNICEF and those we serve.
Yet I know that Matthew and his colleagues would have wanted us to forge onward. And so I can think of no better way to honour their memory than for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the cause for which they gave their lives.
* * *
Distinguished Delegates, we have much work ahead of us, not only this week, but in the eight months that remain before the Special Session.
In that connection, you will be hearing an update on preparations, including a preview of next week's session of the PrepComm, whose agenda will include discussion of steps to hasten the full implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Optional Protocols; girls' education; approaches to fighting HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases; and the overriding importance of cross-sectoral coordination among agencies and departments on issues concerning children.
Distinguished Delegates, we have also prepared for your consideration a series of Country Notes describing programmes of cooperation to be implemented beginning in 2002 - and our Regional Directors will be providing brief overviews on the programme strategies and priorities involved in each, as well as overviews of their regions.
On another matter, you will find before you the Annual Report of the Executive Director to the Economic and Social Council, about which we invite your comments.
The Report, which reflects the Board's request for more analysis of key issues and discussions of lessons learned, looks at the progress we have seen in coordinating UNICEF's field-level activities with other parts of the UN System.
This includes a review of ongoing efforts to promote the UN Girls' Education Initiative, in which the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) is playing an increasingly central coordinating role; and of the continuing utility of such instruments as the Common Country Assessment (CCA) and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF).
Indeed, the same spirit of collaboration that is flourishing under UN reform is also animating UNICEF's involvement, as chair of the committee of co-sponsoring organisations of UNAIDS, in preparations for the General Assembly's Special Session on HIV/AIDS in June - an event that is itself aimed at securing a global commitment to better coordination in combating the pandemic at global, national and local levels.
Mr. President, I want to draw particular attention to Item 5 of our Agenda, the Pledging Event, at which we will be asking governments in a position to do so to announce voluntary contributions to UNICEF regular resources, as well as payment schedules and projections for future contributions.
I cannot stress enough the importance of this undertaking.
For the hard work ahead of us must include moving urgently to create a vast mosaic of alliances for children, not only in the countries where UNICEF is active, but through the active help of donor countries and the private sector.
To this end, our development partners and our dedicated National Committees are reaching far beyond traditional sectors and arms of government to include, as equal partners, groups that have a genuine concern for human progress, including private sector entities, community-based organisations, people's movements and other diverse elements of civil society.
It is an effort that has already created partnerships like the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisations (GAVI), a coalition of businesses, philanthropic foundations, development banks and national governments, all of them dedicated to ensuring that all the world's children are immunised, using every effective vaccine available.
Mr. President, it is thanks to such collaboration that the world has witnessed triumphs for children and their families on a scale never before seen - triumphs like the global drive that has all but eradicated polio - a drive that is being dramatised, as we speak, in Nigeria, where the Government has mobilised tens of thousands of health professionals and volunteers to immunise every single child under 5 over three days - a total of 40 million children.
Nigeria's National Immunisation Day (NID) follows a synchronised immunisation drive late last year in 17 African countries that saw more than 70 million children immunised against polio.
The Nigeria immunisation drive got under way Saturday with the high-profile help of Mia Farrow, UNICEF's newest Special Representative, and her 13-year-old son Seamus - and involves partners like Rotary International, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organisation.
Distinguished Delegates, the task before us now is to help replicate that same kind of partnership, but on a truly universal scale - a partnership that will set the world on a path to end, at long last, the poverty, ill health, violence and discrimination that has blighted and destroyed so many young lives.
To do that, we must begin at the beginning: to make sure that every child gets the best possible start in life, in a family environment that offers the love, the care and the nurturing that children need to grow, to learn - and to develop to the fullest.
That is why UNICEF is calling on governments to reduce the burden of external debt so that impoverished countries can invest in children instead of debt service; and why we are urging them to redirect resources within their national budgets for early childhood development programmes.
It is why we are pressing the international community to work harder to end armed conflict - and to ensure that resources are invested in children, not armaments.
It is why we are asking leaders at all levels to redouble their efforts to end discrimination against women.
It is why we are asking governments, civil society organisations and the private sector, including corporations and the media industry, to help wage an all-out battle against the spread of HIV/AIDS.
And it is why UNICEF and many NGO partners are asking governments and citizens of every nation, including families, communities, and civil society organisations, to join in a universal partnership - a Global Movement for Children - to give every child that better future that governments promised more than a decade ago.
Mr. President, Distinguished Delegates: The world has the knowledge, the resources and the legal imperatives to guarantee that all the world's children are able to grow to adulthood in health, peace and dignity.
Some have called this a dream. Many still do.
But with your leadership and support, we can make it come true, for every child.
Thank you.

This match has been screaming out for the Philadelphia Union to make a change. They've gotten nothing in the attack from their central midfielders and have needed to make a change there since the first minute. It took 62 minutes, but we finally have that substitution as Peter Nowak has brought Jack McInerney in for Stefani Miglioranzi. That means McInerney will go up to forward with Danny Mwanga and Sebastien Le Touz will drop into the midfield.
With the Union still down 2-1 at home in the first leg of this two-legged tie, this move needed to happen. They need to get something in the attack and this will do it. This puts a lot of onus on Brian Carroll to be the tackler in the midfield because no one else in that midfield will do it, but Mwanga, McInerney and Le Toux will be a handful going forward. Maybe, just maybe, they can get a goal now.

The deal actually does not raise taxes. Higher rates for those $400K & up are already law. The bill cuts taxes. Many on right don't get this—
Brit Hume (@brithume) January 01, 2013
Does the crap sandwich passed by the US Senate early this morning raise taxes or cut them? It all depends on how you look at it.
Fox News' Brit Hume says the bill cuts taxes. That is to say, it extends the Bush-era income tax cuts to taxpayers earnings $400,000 per year or less. In making this argument, Hume is echoing Grover Norquist, who told the Washington Post editorial board last year that "Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase."
If you don't follow the Hume/Norquist logic, read that sentence again: "Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase."
Hume's Fox News colleague Chad Pergram, on the other hand, says the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill will result in $620 billion in new tax hikes:
Colleague Ed Henry says CBO indicates #fiscalcliff bill has $620 billion in new tax hikes. $15 billion in spending cuts.—
Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 01, 2013
So which Fox News guy is right? Does it really matter?
@brithume Semantics!—
Bludworth (@bludworth) January 01, 2013
Whether you call them tax cuts or tax increases, our taxes are going up. And the crap sandwich passed by the US Senate this morning does nearly nothing to reduce federal spending.
@brithume No Brit we do understand But where are the spending cuts? How does this help cut the debt? There has to be at least 4 to 1 spd rev—
Richard (@Rgator904) January 01, 2013
@brithume You are wrong. Payroll tax increases on all. You are a fool if you don't see this.—
NCLibertyWarrior (@nc_liberty) January 01, 2013
@brithume Same drivel the senateusing to try and look good. Taxes DID go up from what they were yesterday! Quit drinking the kool aid, Brit!—
Randy Scroggins (@RandyScroggins) January 01, 2013
@brithume and does absolutely nothing to address spending—

It seems to us that "many on the right" have a very good understanding of the situation.

The Donald W. Reynolds Foundation is a national philanthropic organization founded in 1954 by the late media entrepreneur for whom it is named. Mr. Reynolds was the founder and principal owner of the Donrey Media Group, which he started in 1940 with the purchase of the Okmulgee Daily (Okla.) Times and the Southwest (Ark.) Times Record in Fort Smith.
At the time of Mr. Reynolds' death in 1993, his organization had grown to include 52 daily newspapers, 10 outdoor advertising companies, five cable television companies and one television station. Headquartered in Las Vegas, the Reynolds Foundation is one of the 50 largest private foundations in the United States.
Dedicated on March 20, 2003, the Donald W. Reynolds Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Arkansas Children's Hospital brings state-of-the-art facilities which allow for a more family-centered approach in pediatric care. Every element has been specially designed for the care and comfort of patients and their families. For children, it is especially important to involve families in their care; not only does it help ease parents' anxiety to be nearby, but recent studies have shown that their presence can actually reduce recovery time in children.
The generous support of the Reynolds Foundation has enabled us to create a PICU that's not simply better, but is undoubtedly the best facility for critically ill children. The new unit has almost doubled our former unit in size to 22,300 square feet, an area that includes:
Our team of physicians, nurses, care givers, administrators and architects researched leading critical care centers in the country, visiting top hospitals and studying the latest ICU designs. They selected the best features, tailored them to the specific needs of ACH and created a world-class facility for the children of Arkansas. Every design element including lighting, color scheme and décor was selected to create a soothing, reassuring atmosphere. The result is a comfortable, family-focused, state-of-the-art facility that offers the best care... through the seasons.
