British Virgin Island Dependent On Reliable Freshwater For GDP Growth
Tortola is the largest British Virgin island in the Lesser Antilles with an approximate population of 24,000 residents. 92% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) comes from tourism where close to one million people visit the island every year. As with many island nations without natural aquifers, Tortola must produce all of its drinking water and demand is constantly high. Historically the island has supplied fresh water to residents and visitors through seawater reverse osmosis desalination, but current facilities in operation are deteriorating and this is having a deleterious effect on the island's environment and marine life.

You've probably read one of these already this week, but I have to build up a portfolio. Most publications or sites won't even look at your résumé unless you have at least six of those "5 Spring Training Questions" articles, and you need about nine of the "First-Half Surprises" to fit in. So let's get started.
10. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break
Of course! The Baltimore Orioles started the season on fire -- when they beat the Red Sox in 17 innings with Chris Davis on the mound, they moved to 19-9. They've cooled off a little, puttering around .500 in May and June. But they're still in position to make some second-half noise, alright.
9. The Pirates are in first place
Oh, we can't bring up the Orioles without bringing up the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pirates last made the playoffs in 1992. Even the Orioles have been to two championship series since then, so the Pirates are even more of a surprise. The last time the Pirates finished the regular season over .500, Bryce Harper was a fetus. No one was expecting them to finish over .500 this season, much less lead the division, so this sure is a welcome surprise!
8. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
Ha, I get it. This is such a surprise it needs to be listed twice. Clever! I mean, not really. But almost!
7. Seriously, look at me. Right in the eyes. The Orioles would make the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
No, really. We get it.
6. Do you? Do you really understand the implications of this? Because you're being awfully ******* cavalier about this
It's impressive. It's unexpected. But what about the other big surprises? Adrian Gonzalez is a shell of what he used to be. Mike Trout isn't just up and holding his own at 20, he's the best player in the American League. The entire Phillies team is a wreck. The Mets are doing well.
Everywhere you look, there are surprises. That's the point. It's baseball. Baseball is a 10-year-old after Uncle Milt took them to the novelty store and gave him a $20. They have whoopee cushions, hand buzzers, fake vomit, and those ice cubes with fake flies in them. And the only thing that matters is making you look like an idiot. That will make baseball just laugh and laugh and laugh. Never gets old. So it seems excessive to single out two things and run them into the ground.
5. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
Well, there is something to be said about the longevity of the misery both franchises have had to deal with. It's hard to explain which story is more surprising. The Pirates are the ones in first place, but the Orioles have had to do it in the AL East, where the entire division is .500 or better. Picking between the two is impossible.
Back in February, I wrote this about the Orioles:
Also, if the Orioles win the AL East, I will write The Wire: The Musical with a closing number titled "Just Say No ... No ... Nobody's Gonna Stop Us Now!" that's both uplifting and spectacular. So there's plenty to root for.
Oh. The worst part? Since then, someone actually wrote and produced a Wire-related musical parody, and they got real Wire actors to star in it, so if the Orioles win the AL East, I won't even have the novelty/surprise factor. It'll just be a retread that will take me six months, and no one will care.
Even so, I can't help but root for the Orioles. They probably aren't going to win the AL East, but it's July and it's still something that's possible. It's more likely that they'll contend for one of the wild cards, and that's still something we weren't expecting. It's a surprise, and it's a helluva story.
4. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
And we all remember that the Pirates were contending in the first half of last year. Then they turned into the Pirates that we all remembered. It was like watching a movie where the protagonist says "BOY, I NEED TO GET THAT LOCK ON THE FRONT DOOR FIXED" in the first ten minutes. You knew what was going to happen. It was insulting.
But do you remember how awful the Pirates were in the second half of last season? They were 25-47. They were outscored by 100 runs. In August -- right after making the decision to kinda sorta acquire players at the trade deadline -- they went 8-22. It was a total debacle. The Mets are contending. No one really expected that. But the Mets were relevant a couple of years ago. It wasn't that long ago that they were bullying other teams around and taking their Johan Santanas. It's easier to grasp.
The Pirates, though? Total cognitive dissonance.
It's still kind of stupid to just keep going back to these two as if it's they're the only surprising things in baseball this year. How about something else to break up the monotony? Come on.
3. Tim Lincecum is awful now.
Wait, wait. Go back to the Pirates and Orioles again.
2. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
In March, the Orioles lost a game to the Manatee-Sarasota State College of Florida Lancers. That was so perfect. They were going to be the Orioles again. Every league needs an Orioles for the yuks. Instead, we got this, which is even better.
What's the difference between last year and this year for both teams? Last year, the Orioles had all sorts of promising young arms, and those can turn into good young pitchers without any sort of unrealistic alchemy. Then all of the pitchers broke, whether literally or figuratively. This year we didn't expect a damn thing out of the rotation. The Orioles actually hit a little bit last year, so if we knew the rotation was going to have problems just like last year, why would we have expected them to be better?
The rotation has been a disaster, but there are two very important exceptions/additions: Wei-Yin Chen and Jason Hammel. And the Orioles have somehow managed to ride those two close to the deadline, where they can pick up better pitchers, like Wandy Rodriguez or Ryan Dempster.
The Pirates weathered some early offensive misery, and they now have a 95 team OPS+, mostly thanks to Andrew McCutchen getting shot with gamma rays. James McDonald is a fringe Cy Young candidate, A.J. Burnett looks like a fantastic gamble that's paying off, and their bullpen is electric.
Really, the bigger surprise is that neither one of these teams had one of these seasons in the past 15-20 years. Every team has one of these seasons, where a few more things go right than wrong. It's unfathomable that Pirates and Orioles have had to wait so long.
1. The Orioles would have made the playoffs if the season ended at the All-Star break, and the Pirates are in first place
I mean, it's not likely, but can you imagine a Pirates/Orioles World Series? The book or movie for that would make Moneyball look like a six-year-old's diorama of Fever Pitch made with Star Wars figures. Baseball's weird, but baseball's rarely that weird. The odds are completely and totally against such an occurrence. They would be even if both teams were leading their respective divisions by ten games. But it's July, and it's still a dream. That's almost impossible to conceive.
Something that's more likely? Both teams finishing at or over .500. That's an attainable goal. And both of these organizations were designed to be about the long term, anyway. If you had a pie-in-the-sky, unlikely-but-not-ludicrous goal for either team, it would have been to finish at .500 or better. There's still a lot of baseball to play, but it could happen. That's the biggest surprise of all. The ten biggest surprises, even.

Fair Foods
There will be new hours and new vendors, beginning this Saturday, for the Fair Foods Farmers Market, which is being held at the Bay Burger building on the Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike through May 12. The market will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with locally prepared foods such as baked goods, organic olive oils, wines, cooking spices, jams, grass-fed meats, and hormone-free dairy products. In late April, early season vegetables, including asparagus, arugula, chard, garlic, and lettuce, are expected at the market.
Foundation Food
On Sunday, at 5 p.m., the second annual celebration honoring the late Josh Levine will begin with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at Bay Street Theatre at 5 p.m., followed by a 7 p.m. dinner at the American Hotel. The restaurant and theater worked with the East End chapter of Slow Food U.S.A. and local merchants to put the event together in support of the Joshua Levine Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to remember the young farmer who died in a tractor accident in November of 2010. This year, the foundation will support internships allowing three garden coordinators to work with school gardens on the East End, and if funding permits, a mentoring program for children from disadvantaged communities. Tickets for the cocktail party alone are $75; for both cocktails and dinner, the ticket is $150. Both must be reserved in advance at jlmf.weebly.com.
Page Jam
John Miller, a well-known Broadway musician, will be the house bassist for the Thursday Night Live Band next Thursday at the Jazz Jam Session's last seasonal appearance at Page at 63 Main. The show goes from 7 to 9 p.m., and a $5 minimum donation has been suggested.
Windmill in Need
The board of Save Sag Harbor has sent word that the organization is helping to fund the restoration of the windmill on Long Wharf, with hopes of additional donations from those who enjoy its presence. The blades have already been removed due to safety concerns. Also in need of repair are the windmill's shingles, windows, and foundation. The group estimates the costs to total $60,000, and has pledged to replace one of the blades for $3,000. A group within the group, the Save Sag Harbor Board and Friends, has agreed to match up to $1,500 of donations over $10.

SkyFOX was live Tuesday afternoon over some breaking news in Northeast Philadelphia where a road looked more like a river.
The water main break occurred just before 5 p.m. at the corner of Academy Road and Holme avenue.
As you can see, water is gushing everywhere. Police have blocked off part of the roadway because of flooding.
FOX 29's Dave Kinchen is at the scene, says it's an 8- to 10-inch main that broke and four houses are without water.

A man is dead after an officer-involved shooting Monday morning on Rackle Street near
Mikell Street in Statesboro.
Police told WTOC that George Pryor, 61, of Rackle Street, was shot by a
Statesboro police officer. Police said several police officers went to Pryor's
home as backup for a code enforcement officer. They did not say what they were
doing there. Shots were later fired.
Officer Justin Samples said, "Officers went with the code enforcement officer
to the scene to handle an issue. They arrived at 9 a.m. and shots were fired at
9:30 a.m."
Samples said neither the code officer nor the police officer were wounded,
but did not confirm whether Pryor fired at them.
Several family members and neighbors declined to comment on camera, but one
lady said Pryor did not seem like the kind of person to start trouble.
The GBI is investigating the shooting.

Thomas Aquinas College administrator's life shaped by generosity rather than religious hostility
Paul O'Reilly grew up Catholic in a Protestant neighborhood in Belfast during the Troubles, when religious and political hostilities exploded across Ireland.
So perhaps it comes as no surprise that his young life was marked by hatred, violence and murder.
But ask O'Reilly about those times, back when he was a teenager, and he'll tell you it was the generosity of family, not bitterness, that formed him.
That generosity eventually brought O'Reilly, 50, to Thomas Aquinas College, a small Catholic school in Santa Paula, as an undergraduate. Now he's vice president of development there.
"I got a sense there was a providential plan there," he said. "That softened my anger."
O'Reilly's journey to Thomas Aquinas started when he was 16. Two of his uncles, who owned a successful restaurant just outside Belfast, had been murdered and their restaurant bombed. His sister had been assaulted on her way home from school, her attackers slashing her face with a broken bottle. O'Reilly, growing increasingly bitter, started carrying a knife tucked into a long sock.
"Our neighbors turned on us, made it clear we weren't welcome," he said. "They would paint slogans on our walls. They were constantly throwing bricks through our windows."
One day, shortly after a young woman down the street was murdered, someone threw a package that looked like a bomb through the O'Reillys' window. Their mother picked it up and threw it back out.
Fearing the impact that violence would have on her eight children, O'Reilly's mother — now separated from her husband — moved her family to Canada. Seven months after her family arrived in New Brunswick, she died after being hit by a car on Christmas Eve, leaving her eight children orphans. Their father, still in Ireland, showed no interest in them, O'Reilly said. Relatives in Canada said they could take a few of the younger ones, but not all eight.
Finally, an aunt and uncle, already the parents of four children, agreed to adopt all eight of their nieces and nephews.
His aunt wanted all the children to have a good education. So did a local priest. Though O'Reilly was thinking of studying business, they encouraged him to visit Thomas Aquinas. He did and knew he'd found his place. It was at Thomas Aquinas that he met his wife, Peggy. They now have 12 children, the younger ones home-schooled by his wife.
"You can't be bitter after all these things have happened," O'Reilly said. "In some way or other, this has been good for me, good for my brothers and sisters."
O'Reilly returned to Canada to do his graduate work but came back to Thomas Aquinas as a tutor, which is what the college calls its professors, in 1989. He was named vice president for development last year.
O'Reilly's personality reflects his Irish roots, said Brian Kelly, dean at Thomas Aquinas.
"He's got a large personality," Kelly said. "He's very Irish, with that mischievous streak that goes with the Irish. He's also got a lot of determination, so when he sets his mind to something, he gets it done. ... He's one of those people you remember after you've met them."
Like all administrators at Thomas Aquinas, O'Reilly still teaches a class each semester. Mariclare Lessard, 19, had him this semester for her philosophy class, in which they mostly studied Aristotle. It wasn't easy, but O'Reilly made it easier by providing concrete examples, Lessard said. He's also one of the funniest tutors on campus, she said. And he made sure everyone in the room understood the material.
"He always brings us down from our heads in the clouds," she said. "He always asks, 'How does this fit in our experience?' He puts it in common man's speech."
Today, O'Reilly still believes there's a plan for him — one that he hasn't necessarily figured out.
"When things do go well, you can't necessarily pat yourself on the back," he said. "It might be that God is helping you, too."

Published in Flagpole Magazine, p. 10 (July 19, 2000).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
In my article "The Last Lynching in Athens," published in Flagpole on Sept. 10, 1997, I recounted the grim saga of the 1921 lynching of John Lee Eberhart, the only recorded lynching in Clarke County since the government began gathering official statistics on lynchings in 1882. In my article I noted that, while it was the last lynching in Clarke county, the Eberhart lynching may not have been the only one in the history of this county because there might have been lynchings here before 1882.
Recently, while reading E. Merton Coulter's classic history of antebellum Athens, College Life in the Old South (UGA Press, 1983 reprint), I came across a reference on page 247 to an Athens lynching occurring early in the Civil War. Having checked into the matter, I can now announce that, indeed, there definitely was at least one lynching in Athens prior to 1882. This lynching, possibly but not probably the first lynching in Athens, took place on Wednesday, July 16, 1862.
The only available information about the 1862 lynching incident is in several articles in the July 23, 1862 issue of a former local newspaper, The Southern Watchman (subtitled: An Independent Family Journal: Devoted to News, Politics, Agriculture, [and] Current Literature).
One of these articles, euphemistically entitled "Execution of a Negro," reveals that on Tuesday, July 15, 1862, a black man (who was not named or identified in the article but clearly was a slave) was arrested on an unspecified but evidently capital criminal charge and brought to Athens. On the next day a court hearing was held before a justice of the peace in the Athens Town Hall, and the arrested slave was ordered committed to jail to await a trial in the Clarke Superior Court. Following the hearing, however, a number of persons in the Town Hall "overpowered the Sheriff and his Deputy, and taking the negro (sic) about a mile from town, hung him."
According to Frances Taliaferro Thomas's excellent book, A Portrait of Historic Athens and Clarke County (1992), the Town Hall, where the slave was seized by the mob, had been completed in 1847 and was "the center of town life." It had two floors: the first floor doubled as a town market and jail, and the second floor contained a large hall for concerts, minstrel shows, public meetings, and political debates. Prior to 1876 the Town Hall, Ms. Thomas says, "served as courthouse and jail." The Town Hall faced Lumpkin Street. (The present City Hall, constructed in 1904, is located on College Avenue between Washington and Hancock Streets.)
The 1862 lynching was a public spectacle. In another article in the same issue of The Southern Watchman, it was reported "that a portion of the crowd which followed the negro (sic) to the gallows (sic) indulged in singing, yelling, and hallooing!" However, the article continued, "[i]n justice to those who conducted the [lynching], it is proper to state that this improper conduct was not sanctioned or participated in by them-that it was the work of outsiders."
The article added: "It may be proper to remark that the crowd was not composed entirely of Athenians nor even Clarke county men. There were people from other counties and other States, we learn." Whenever a lynching occurred in the 19th Century South it was a standard practice for local authorities to blame the particular lynching on strangers from outside the county.
In a third article in the same issue of The Southern Watchman it was announced that the newspaper had just "received a communication in defense of mob law." Presumably the communication was intended to justify the recent lynching. Noting, however, that it had "observed a growing tendency towards mobocracy," the newspaper declined "under any circumstances to publish [the communication] ... even as an advertisement." Those who advocate the cause of mobs, the newspaper said, "would inaugurate a worse government than that of the infernal regions! And we cannot think of making our paper the advocate of such destructive doctrines."
The 1862 lynching was not the only eruption of mob justice in the Athens of the time. In his superb biography of Athens' greatest lawyer and statesman, Thomas R. R. Cobb: The Making of a Southern Nationalist (1983), William B. McCash mentions an incident in Athens in November 1860 in which Cobb "intervene[d] ... to help save a man who was being tried by a mob at the town hall for allegedly expressing free-soil sentiments. The accused was released with the understanding that the next offense should be punished by hanging."
McCash also mentions the formation by the Athens town council in November 1860 of a "vigilance committee, composed of twenty prominent citizens, empowered to investigate and try persons accused of encouraging slave insurrection and punish those found guilty." The town council established the vigilance committee, McCash tells us, because it "dreaded the possibility of slave revolts".
Viewed in light of other events of the era, therefore,
the 1862 lynching exposes antebellum and Civil War Athens as a city where
mobs, lynchings, and threatened lynchings, directed at slaves or opponents
of slavery, helped keep the white, racist, proslavery establishment firmly
in control.

My Biggest Disappointment from the Xbox One Announcement Update: Tentatively Not Disappointed
via memecrunch.com
X-post from theverge.com
I can explain why I'm a console gamer takes three words: I have kids. Generally speaking, I have between one and three hours of gaming time available each day after my kids are in bed. I really value that time, and anything that gets in the way of that is bothersome. It's the reason I don't game on my PC (despite having a really capable gaming PC). I've found that when I turn on my PC and start up Steam, I inevitably end up having to 1.) patch Steam, 2.) patch several games, 3.) potentially install new drivers, 4.) start the game. There were twenty (20) Steam client updates in the past year. Compare this with two Xbox updates in the past year. Similarly, game updates take quite a bit of time on Steam. I often end up waiting 45 minutes for an update to download, install, and decrypt.
So this brings me to my biggest disappointment from the announcement: The Xbox One requires you to install each game before you play. If this is longer than a five minute process, they've lost me. I need my console gaming to be seamless. It needs to be convenient.
Now that's not to say it was all disappointment. I really like the multitasking demos, and could generally see a use for popping back and forth between several apps. Also, if the voice commands work well and are intuitive enough, I could see this helping greatly toward making the experience better. If "Xbox Netflix" was a command, my wife would be in heaven. In short, Microsoft, please don't turn your gaming console into a PC or I will have no need for a console.

Russian Schools To Use Free Software
After much advance notice and successful pilot projects it is now official: From 2009, Russia will provide its high and primary schools with Linux software. Around 1500 schools will be converted this year.
Back in 2007 a report on cnews.ru. broadcast Russia's proposals to get free software into "all" its schools. At the international IT fair, InfoKom 2008, an official announcement by the Russian Minister for Communication Igor Schegolev confirmed the move (Russian press release).
According to Schegolev, up to 1500 schools will be using the free software package PSPO by the end of 2008. Developed by the Russian distributor ALT Linux, the package consists of four Linux variations, (Lite, Junior, Master, Terminal) and a Linux version called NauLinux, which is based on the Scientific Linux 5.1 Cyrillic Edition (SL51CE). Each of the versions is available as a free download on the project website. Alt School 4.0 Lite comes with an XCFE desktop and runs on less than 265 Mbyte. The other variations use KDE. NauLinux can be found in the temp. file on the FTP server.
62.000 schools should be provided with either of the two versions in 2009, says Ilya Mashkin, Marketing Manager at ALT Linux. Mashkin hopes that most schools will choose one of the packages. From 2010, schools will be able to decide which system they use. After the two year introduction period, the state's SPO package will remain free of cost but proprietary software will have to be self-funded by the schools themselves.
ALT Linux evolved from a Russian version of Mandriva. The company has 150 developers.

Here's a quick recap of today's fifth round action from the Copa del Rey
Sevilla FC 1-2 (6-2) Mallorca
Mallorca won the day thanks to second half goals from Brandon Thomas Llamas and Alejandro Alfaro, but that wasn't enough to overcome Sevilla 5-0 lead after the first leg. Manu scored for Los Rojiblancos. Sevilla are chasing their sixth Copa del Rey title, the last having come in 2010.
Real Madrid 4-0 (5-2) Celta Vigo
Sergio Ramos was sent off in the 72nd minute (bad Sergio!) but it didn't matter as Real Madrid were already coasting by that point thanks in large part to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese striker took out his Ballon d'or frustrations on Celta Vigo scoring three times and leading Madrid in to the next round. Celta will be disappointed, but hopefully not surprised, by the fact they couldn't hold on to the aggregate lead from the first match.
Real Zaragoza 2-0 (3-0) Levante
Zaragoza coasted in to the quarterfinals with a 2-0 victory over Levante, 3-0 on aggregate. Franco Zuculini and Paco Montanes scored for Los Blanquillos, while the only achievement of note for Levante was a red card shown to Héctor Rodas.

The Oelwein School District is mourning the loss of a student, and his death has struck a nerve with many across eastern Iowa.
Dustin VanLaningham took his own life over the weekend. Some students believe bullying may be to blame, but relatives insist that was only a small part of VanLaningham's troubles.
Students are also upset they've not been allowed to hold a vigil in his memory. The district's superintendent says there's a time and place for that, but right now the focus is on allowing the school and community to grieve.
"Anytime you lose a student, it's extremely difficult and under those conditions it makes it even more difficult for everyone. So many people go through a lot of stages of grief and that's what we're going through at this point," said Oelwein superintendent Steve Westerberg.
Regardless of whether the Oelwein student's death was a direct result of bullying, phone calls, emails, and Facebook messages to KWWL say the situation shines a light on the bullying epidemic nationwide.
So is bullying really on the rise? And where do students turn for help?
"Kids have always been mean. That's just who they are. They're growing up, and learning, and don't know the social boundaries. Our job is to help them understand what the social boundaries are. But it is not, in my opinion, any worse than what it was--I'll even say back in 1973 when I was in 5th grade," said Steve Kwikkel, the principal at Waverly-Shell Rock Middle School.
Bullying might not be worse, but how it happens has changed. Social media allows hallway sneers to become posts accessible at any time and seen by hundreds online. But Kwikkel argues the digital age has been a benefit to stopping bully behavior in its tracks.
"It gives students a platform of security, anonymity. They can report something to any adult in the building. We've had cases already this year, and a really important one last year, in which a student or students emailed the right adults and next thing you know, within literally minutes, we were on top of the situation, which was good for everybody," Kwikkel said.
Getting bystanders involved is another key to get bullies stopped.
"If there's somebody else that steps in and says, 'Hey, cool it! Knock it off!' It's shown that actually has more of an impact than the victim themselves standing up," said Matt Seward, Waverly-Shell Rock Middle School guidance counselor.
Counselors are constantly making classroom visits to talk about those issues. That contributes to creating an environment where students feel comfortable coming to any adult when there's a problem. And district officials say that's an important step that sometimes gets skipped.
"It's often the times we have not heard and the child goes home and they're telling their parents this. The parents get agitated. They don't see anything happening, so by the time it gets to us, they're going, 'Ah!'" said Kwikkel.
Security cameras are just another way schools like Waverly can keep an eye on student behavior, helping both confirm and debunk bullying, so it can be addressed.
If bullying becomes a serious enough issue, districts can refer students to counseling services outside school. As for discipline, when bullying is confirmed, students can face anything from detention to suspension, and in rare cases, when needed, police are called to intervene.
School districts across the state have bullying policies and programs. Below are details from a few of those districts in eastern Iowa.
State of Iowa:
The state of Iowa has implemented a brand new reporting system for bullying. Because it has only recently been implemented, there are no hard figures yet for this school year.
Cedar Rapids:
You will find multiple resources, district policies, and contacts related to anti-bullying and harassment at this link of our website:
Schools have an anti-bullying curriculum in place through district counselors. Many buildings also include specific signage directing students about "safe people" to go to when there's a problem.
The Family and Children's Council in Waterloo also has a program in local schools targeted at sexual abuse prevention, but the message it carries also includes information on what students need to recognize as unacceptable behavior, distinguishing between something that is just bothersome, and something that is actually bullying or harassment. The "Take Charge of Your Body" program reaches 7,500 students annually.
Cedar Falls:
There are specific initiatives in place targeting both bullying behavior and the response to it. Some of that information is available here: http://www.cedar-falls.k12.ia.us/health-safety/student-safety/bullying-prevention
According to the school district, no bullying forms have been filed this year so far, which is down from the previous two years at the same time in the year.
The Dubuque Community School District believes that the first step to bullying prevention is creating school environments that are caring, supportive and respectful. This is a primary focus throughout the year with a variety of programs. Should a student encounter bullying, we encourage the first step to be to tell any adult in the building. That first contact will then follow-up with the appropriate building administrator and counselor to address the situation.
Iowa City:
In 2008, the Iowa City Community School District adopted the Steps to Respect Bullying Prevention Program to address bullying prevention on a building level. This program was selected through a consensus of guidance counselors, parents, teachers, and administrators and is in the final phase of implementing the program district-wide. Steps to Respect trains staff to recognize and address bullying and students learn how to make friends; recognize feelings; and recognize, refuse, and report bullying. Steps to Respect compliments the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports approach adopted by the district . A formal grievance process is in place for students who feel that they have been bullied based on protected personal characteristics in accordance with state law.
Data gathered through the Iowa Youth Survey for students in the Iowa City Community School District shows positive reports on school climate, as well as areas to continue to work.
The data showed for the 2011-2012 school year showed that students self-reported:

Henna crowns of beauty and life
A unique service offered by Frances Darwin, Artsci'07, is creating beautiful one-of-a-kind body artworks for cancer patients and others who experience radical hair loss.
"We want to empower you. We want to help you feel beautiful, and give you the confidence to be a walking work of art."
This is the mission statement for a company called Henna Heals, a team of professional henna artists founded by Toronto-based photographer Frances Darwin, Artsci'07. However, this initiative is unique for the emotional benefits it provides.
When cancer patients lose their hair due to chemotherapy, the artists of Henna Heals apply beautiful designs, "henna crowns," to their smooth pates. The naturally sourced henna dye drawings are intricate, one-of-a-kind, completely safe, and temporary. The artworks are so awe-inspiring that they draw admiring looks and spark in-depth conversations.
Frances' company also creates henna crowns for people who are suffering from alopecia and for high school students and teachers who have shaved their heads to benefit Cuts for Cancer.
Raised in Southeast Asia, Frances learned about henna as girl, but she only discovered henna crowns when she was living in San Francisco, working as a maternity photographer. She and the world-renowned henna artist Darcy Vasudev talked about providing henna designs for pregnant women's bellies.
The concept for Henna Heals was developed when Vasudev told Frances about breast cancer patient Tara Schubert, who was sporting a henna crown. When Frances went to photograph her, Tara commented, "I've never felt this beautiful, even before I had cancer."
The henna crown is a recent innovation, so Frances could only find three artists in all of Canada who had done one before she contacted them
As Frances recently told an interviewer for Samaritan magazine, "I couldn't believe it. My taking Tara's photograph made her feel more desirable. That, coupled with the power of her henna crown, made her feel unstoppable."
Sadly, Schubert has died. However, thanks to her story, Henna Heals was born in early 2011. Since then, it has received widespread media attention. "I scrolled down the main page of the UK's Daily Mail [May 25, 2012], and there was an article on Henna Heals, in between articles on Kim Kardashian and P. Diddy!" says Frances. "I thought, 'Wow, this idea is really spreading! So many people are going to learn about henna crowns now, and that's all I've ever wanted.'"
The henna crown is a recent innovation, so Frances could only find three artists in all of Canada who had done one before she contacted them. "Recently, though, people have been contacting me from around the world, saying, 'I just thought of doing this, and here you are doing it!' It's a wonderful shift in consciousness."
Henna Heals is currently a for-profit social purpose business, but Frances is seeking legal counsel about turning it into a non-profit organization.
"I don't feel comfortable charging a cancer patient for this, but I was initially told that a for-profit social business was the way to go, because funding for non-profits and charities is drying up quickly in our Canadian economy.
"However, now that we're trying to work with hospitals that are non-profits, it's become clear that we may also have to become a non-profit company."
In the meantime, Frances has started the Henna Helps Fund as a way to subsidize the $100 cost of a henna crown for any patient who wants one, but can't afford it.
She hopes to make henna crowns available in hospitals, convenient places for patients who are undergoing chemo. She's also hoping to partner with more schools that participate in Cuts for Cancer, and to help out at local special events.
Henna Heals continues to make connections with trusted henna artists around the world. Says Frances, "If someone outside of Toronto contacts me and wants a henna crown, we now have 80 non-affiliated artists who have been recommended to me through the close-knit professional henna artist community, so we can recommend an artist to them."
Frances was thrilled when that Samaritan article received 10,000 on-line hits, but she's not done promoting the concept of henna crowns just yet. She's using her filmmaking skills to capture the henna crown application process for patients willing to share their stories, and some of the videos may be viewed on the Henna Heals Facebook Page: www.facebook.com/hennaheals.

Tahiti Trader Bio-Noni for Women - 32 oz.
Tahiti Trader Bio-Noni for Women offers unique therapeutic benefits of Tahiti Trader™ Noni Juice combined with scientifically proven nutrients to provide a complete, safe and natural to women's special needs.
About Tahiti TraderLarry Logsdon, Founder of The Tahiti Trader Company, started the company in 1999 with the mission to make a super high-quality, high potency Noni Juice product for the natural food market.
He has been in the nutritional products manufacturing business since 1984 and has gained a lifetime of experience growing up in the business and working with his father, John E. Logsdon. Larry's dad started working in the business in 1950 after he returned from the service and began working for his father Ben E. Logsdon. Grandpa Ben was doing vitamin manufacturing at the time for the medical & professional trade. Grandpa Ben had started as an early pioneer in the nutrition business in 1920 with his groundbreaking work in natural treatments for pernicious anemia.
Larry's dad, like his father, was responsible for many industry innovations, both in the fields of nutrition and pharmaceuticals and set many trends in the natural foods industry.
Larry envisions a future where people all over the world would benefit from the amazing properties of the Noni plant. That future is now.
He began in 1996 making & sharing Noni juice with family and friends, while he worked to develop a marketable product that people would enjoy to drink.
His first Noni juice was made for network marketing companies that were seeking a new and amazing product. He made Noni products for many companies until one day he thought that this product really needs to be available to the public through Natural Foods Stores and normal channels of distribution, everyone should have access to their Noni!
And so, Tahiti Trader Brand Noni was born.
Larry wanted to position Tahiti Trader Noni in the market so that they would have more potentency, better taste and better retail pricing than other Noni offerings. The high potency & great taste was due to their unique process that improved the bioavailability of the finished product.
Larry worked to develop a Noni supply line from the islands to the mainland taking only Nonis grown from his network in Tahiti and surrounding islands.
Their Noni grows in dark volcanic soils, and that is not interfered with by man. Their Noni fruit is truly organically grown; and has not been fertilized, or been sprayed for pests, has not been cultivated, it simply grows unimpeded to full maturity in the island paradise of Tahiti & Polynesia.
When their Nonis are fully mature and ripe, they harvest them and place them into cold storage. Then their harvest comes to the mainland where they process the whole fruit into extract; paying careful attention to detail and create the precious juice extract without heat then super concentrating it and combining natural flavors to the Morinda Citrifolia juice so it could come to market.

powerful sound in a small package
This review is from: iHome IHM60GT "CrystalTunes" Portable Multimedia Speaker
Pros: Pretty loud and great sound quality, although just one speaker so you'll be getting mono. Although, you can hook up two for stereo
Cons: mono
Other Thoughts: I'd recommend a nice little amp between your MP3/phone and this speaker. It'll give it that extra power it needs.

One Speaker with Mono/Charge Cable
This review is from: iHome IHM60GT "CrystalTunes" Portable Multimedia Speaker
Pros: Sound for twenty dollars. Although I haven't opened the package, I'm sure it sounds great.
Cons: This is one speaker with a mono-speaker/charge cable. If you had to buy two for stereo sound, the stereo audio/charge cable is not available here by itself as an accessory.
Other Thoughts: The carrying pouch may not be big enough by itself to hold two of these, and what will you do with the two extra mono-speaker/charge cables once a stereo audio/charge cable was located.

The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets square-off on Sunday in a matchup with significant AFC East implications. Heading into the matchup, the Bills and New England Patriots are tied atop the division, with the Jets lurking just one game behind. It's a three-horse race at this point, with the Miami Dolphins winless and out of the race, essentially, already.
Sunday's game is a toss-up according to the oddsmakers, with the Bills favored by just one point as it stands now. Buffalo opened as 1-1/2 point favorites, so the line has moved towards the Jets slightly this week.
The over-under for Sunday's game is set at 44 points, a fairly common set of odds for an NFL game. If it holds true, expect a game in the 20s that comes down to the wire.

Nine Weeks to Recovery
To survive a no-running routine while your injury heals, you need a schedule that provides structure and poses a challenge. With the program outlined below>, you don't have to worry about losing fitness. In fact, if you approach the program aggressively, you may come out of the water fitter than before your injury. Scott says, "I enjoyed the borderline-psychotic challenge of setting duration PRs, which peaked with a two-hour interval session on New Year's Eve."
This schedule is not for the faint of heart. The program includes five days of deep-water running per week for eight weeks. One day per week calls for a specific 30- to 45-minute stretching session. The seventh day calls for another form of crosstraining (if your injury will allow it) or rest. In the ninth week, you start to reintroduce land running to your schedule.When you look at the schedule, you will notice a lot of interval workouts. That's because it is very difficult to work at a high enough intensity to maintain your fitness if all you do is steady-state water running. Interval sessions in the water give you brief breaks (both physical and mental); these allow you to work harder and obtain a superior workout. Another plus is that time passes relatively quickly while doing intervals, whereas steady water running is boring.
Monday's sessions are repeats of 1:30 hard followed by 30 seconds of easy recovery running. The first week, you warm up, then do two sets of five intervals with a two-minute break between the two sets. At the end of your cool-down, you'll have completed 32 minutes of water running, with 15 minutes of that at high intensity. Over the nine weeks, Monday's workouts progress to three sets of nine reps for a total workout of 68 minutes with just over 40 minutes at high intensity.
Tuesday's workouts consist of longer repeats (2:30) with 30 seconds recovery. These are tougher than Monday's sessions because you must hold the intensity of each interval longer, while the rest remains the same. This workout is very efficient when you are pressed for time. In the ninth week, you blissfully get to go out for your first run, albeit only 10 easy minutes.
Wednesday's workout is the toughest of the week mentally. It is the only water-running workout of the week that you do at a steady effort level. Scott and my wife both mastered this session, but I must admit I found it mentally very difficult. Former New York City Marathon winner Priscilla Welch, however, had no problem with steady water running. I recall watching the Super Bowl at a New Zealand pub a few years ago with Priscilla, her husband, Dave, Dick Quax and a few others. Shortly after the kickoff, Priscilla excused herself and headed to the adjacent pool for a workout. As the Patriots were thrashed, Priscilla kept running and running. She returned more than two hours later, her effort a testament to mental tenacity.
There is no water running on Thursday. After three successive days in the water, you need a break. This is the perfect opportunity to do the stretching that you usually put off because of lack of time. A 30- to 45-minute session dedicated specifically to stretching will improve your flexibility and help prevent future injuries once you are back running. A yoga class is a great alternative for this workout.
On Friday, it's back to the pool for more intervals—this time a ladder. You start with 1:00 hard followed by 1:00 easy, then hold the recovery at 1:00 and increase the duration of the hard efforts, then decrease it going back down the ladder. This workout feels great on the way back down.
Saturday is very tough mentally: reps of 5:00. The first week calls for four reps of 5:00 hard with 1:00 easy between efforts, and you build up to eight reps of 5:00 hard, followed by 10 times :45 hard. The challenge is to maintain your mental focus during the 5:00 efforts. During this session, I find it helpful to keep my concentration by visualizing running repeat miles on the track. (Man, you must be hurting when you fantasize about running repeat miles!)
Sunday you do either another form of crosstraining such as cycling or rowing (if your injury will allow it) or rest. A long, vigorous walk on Sunday will give you some of the aesthetic and mental benefits of a run and will help prepare your legs for your return to land running.

again I have nothing but problems with the 7650 concerning HTTP download... The firmware version is "V4.39 30.10.02 NHL-2NA".
After installing my application and starting it the first time, everything seems to work normal. Then I exit my program and then sometimes in about 30% of the cases, I get a strange error message: "Program closed! WAPSTKSRV KERN-EXEC 3". When this happens I try to restart my application but it will not start, all I get are error messages like "Program closed! jes-ab-javax.microedition.lcdui@1... KERN-EXEC 3"! Sometimes the 7650 even is so confused that the display light doesn't come up when pressing a key and it is also not possible to switch the device off (althoug I can start other program, etc.). Then I have to remove the battery.
I have similar problems on a 3650 (FW V2.50) buit here it doesn't occurs so often.
Any help here from Nokia?????

FENWICK ISLAND, Del. (AP) - Beach restoration efforts along Delaware's coast are expected to begin next week.
The $19.3 million effort will begin start at Fenwick Island, where dredge anchors are already staged off the beach. Work there is expected to take three to four weeks and then the crew will move on to Bethany, Dewey, and Rehoboth. More than six miles of resort shoreline is expected to be returned to its full width by mid-December.
Fenwick's Town Manager Merritt Burke IV says work will be focused in 1,000-foot-wide sections and beachgoers will be directed around the construction areas.
Federal aid from the more than $60 billion Superstorm Sandy recovery package will pay for the project, with a separate, $6.6 million repair and expansion of an area north of the Indian River Inlet.
