MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Minnesota Timberwolves coach Rick Adelman has been trying to keep a lid on his wife's health issues that caused him to be away from the team for three weeks.
Mary Kay Adelman didn't seem to understand why, so Rick Adelman has revealed that she has been suffering from seizures.
Rick Adelman returned to the Timberwolves after his hiatus on Monday and declined to talk specifically about what was bothering his wife.
On Tuesday, Adelman says he was urged by her to be more open about the situation. He says his wife has been seeking treatment for the past three weeks, but doctors still don't know what is causing them.
Rick Adelman missed 11 games to be with her. He plans to coach on Wednesday night against the Clippers.

Yes, Atty. Martha Dean campaigned before for AG in 2002 and in 2010 lost to George Jepsen with a healthy 44% of the vote on a shoe string budget because she did not take public funding.
This time it's for Governor because she feels that she is the best person for the job and she has heard "CT's citizens saying loud and clear that they are taxed too much, the government spends too much and their privacy and their basic rights are interfered with too much." See a full list of her priorities in her Hartford Courant Commentary,
She is taking public funding this time but she is candid on the reasoning and resolute in her objectives...this is your chance as a discerning voter to form your own opinion with this exclusive and insightful interview with CTVV Host, Susan Regan.

Is there any way that I can get a copy of the music? I'm doing this skit for a high school production, and there isn't another song out there that will actually fit the scene. Thanks a bunch,
That was hilarious and a little weird
Yeah… that's pretty much how it is. Well done.
wat would make it better if there were 18 arrows in him or 100
what the heck?
1ts arrow= HOLY MOTHER OF GOD JULIN! WE NEED A DOCTOR!!
2nd arrow= FU**ING h**L! DOCTOR NOW
3rd arrow= julin!? hes dead! *kills self*
4th arrow= (~ X . X)~
if i ever saw that and you died i would kill myself along with you <3
I have watched it 7 times an d i still can't keep from cracking up, its just so random. Keep em comin Julian:)
"There's an arrow in my…!" LOL
that's the same girl you ate randy in front of i would think she wouldn't go out with you again after that
What the FLIP did I just WATCH?
i cant stop watching this o.o 0.0 O.O
No blood. Please.
Made the feels hurt.
funny but what's the point
it was alright
That was pretty funny, I laughed when the waiters and people around him didn't really care that he was dying.
I don't hate my job…
5 seconds later
Julian: Aaaaaaagggh
Arrow to the chest
Gf: SHUT IT
That was amazing. But, her dress was too short.
And, when he's off-screen it's sounds like he's laughing.
i love your video's Julian! But i don't love you! Is your real name julian, and is your last name rilly smith?
GO TO HELL JEFFERY! I ate a jelly fish, what a DUMB ASS! JK LOL! 8=====D
make a video about boardom! because i'm board right now! ): ~:
Jeffery made a video about boredom. it's called Jeffery is bored.
Lol so funny. I liked th e part we're ur just like there's an arrow in my chest and ur girlfriends all like really?!I'm trying to talk! And ur all lke I'm gonna die! Lol u crkack me up.
I've been on that date….that's pretty much how it happened.
hmmmm…..now i hav 2 find out who decided to KILL you.luv ya,but not in a mushy-gushy way
lol, I think there is a deeper meaning to this, I think the arrows represent the pain and annoyance that comes with some on telling you there problems, But if this has no meaning…. i dont know how to respond.
this video sucks!
I get the meaning. Sometimes when women feel frustrated, they feel that they need to vent it out to us (men). But sometimes, they get all wrapped up in their feelings, they don't notice or understand the hurts or troubles that men go through, and that we also need time to ask for help or time for venting. And of course, throughout of the video, Julian throws in comedy.
Boromir took 3 arrows. Julian took 4. Respect.
Hawkeye, stop using Julian as target practice please. We like this one and we want to keep him
its super funny just like your other videos
its just so funny how do you do it idk idk idk idk idk idk idk idk like duh
This is so sad! Is that he real wife Sara? or is she in videos?

I so want to see the editing list for this thread!
Where is that popcorn smilie????
This is a discussion on No More Zimmerman Threads. within the Forum News, Feedback, Problems & Comments forums, part of the DefensiveCarry.com Forum Office category; I so want to see the editing list for this thread! Where is that popcorn smilie????...
I so want to see the editing list for this thread!
Where is that popcorn smilie????
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
Sheesh, I hope we don't end up with 800+ posts in this thread.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable- JFK
I think that if members check out the forum rules page - you'll see that this (below) has been a part of the forum rules way back & ever since this place was CombatCarry.com.
I think it pretty much covers the Moderation action regarding the Zimmerman threads just based on the sheer number of rule violation edits and deletes in those threads.
Please remember that the Moderators are here to learn, enjoy, read, teach, etc...also just like our forum members.
They cannot do that if they are constantly babysitting a Hot Button Issue thread where members simply refuse to abide by our forum rules, cannot control the tone of their respective posts, are flaming other members, are being hotly & rudely argumentative.etc.
Name Your Poison Pick a rule violation. It was in those threads.
While these rules cover most common situations, we cannot anticipate everything.
Consequently we reserve the right to take any actions we deem appropriate to ensure these forums are not disrupted or abused in any way.
Posts that are contrary to the above policies or to the mission of DefensiveCarry.com, or violate our community standards may be edited or deleted at our sole discretion. We're a private venture enabled by an all-volunteer staff and forum Administrators and/or Moderators shall make the final decision on what does/does not violate community standards.
With regard to where you can go to discuss the incident...as was a member question posted above.
A Google search for: The Zimmerman Shooting produced "About 76,900,000 results"
"Gun Free Zones" is where only criminals carry guns.
...... and what a "hot-button" issue/topic this has evolved into, for the entire country.
As a gun owner and licensed 'carrier' I've actually stayed in the 'background' and just tried to 'absorb' all the information/facts, and lessons-learned from this incident. Certainly not enough facts have been, or can, be disclosed publicly, but more than enough has been 'presented' to formulate an opinion. We ALL have an opinion.........
On the issue of 'why' these posts/threads are 'going away', that has been set forth in plain English (even warnings to keep the discussions 'on track'), and I applaud our mods/admin.'s for keeping this entire forum at the standards that have been set. Bravo Zulu!
One focus I've kept in reading/reviewing as much as I seen/read here, and in the media, is what lessons can I learn from this? We've seen hundreds of threads concerning being in a fight (gunfight or otherwise), how to/what to do during the 'aftermath' of a fight, etc. (The amount of subject material here IS mind-boggling) I have had much of what I've trained for and learned be 'confirmed' WRT to the Zimmerman incident specifically and the handling of it, be it the police handling of the case, or the way this forum's members and mods/admin have handled the 'onslaught' of info and opinions here. I've also begun to question/challenge a few things I think as well. That's one of the reasons DCC has been such a great forum; questions, answers, sharing of ideas, or just hanging out here and enjoying all that DCC offers.
Of all the 'chaff' I can find online, DCC has managed to keep an even-keel over the years. It's that way because of the moderators/ administrators. If we as members keep it 'good', then 'we' won't need to be 'babysat' during the course of a thread's discussion.
"Just getting a concealed carry permit means you haven't commited a crime yet. CCP holders commit crimes." Daniel Vice, senior attorney for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, quoted on Fox & Friends, 8 Jul, 2008

I thought the information , etc. discussed was good, and I thought the SYG issues.... are "big" when the press, etc. are pushing to get rid of it.
As far as the 'noise' , I guess I just tune it out.
Like to give you one thought though, at least to the most part when it's discussed here, many parts bring up issues on where actions can lead some times, and how things can get twisted after they do. I think that's relevant to us. Any one of us could be unfairly hung by the press if an incident occurred.
thanks for letting us know though.

Chief Justice John Roberts : "I don't see how you can read Heller and not take away from it the notion that the Second Amendment...was extremely important to the framers in their view of what liberty meant."
+1 on the shut down. The horse was dead and still being beat like it owed money. I think the mods and admins generously let many threads continue that have pretty much run their course. If it isn't hurting anything, no big deal. When you see a string of edits, deletes, warnings, infractions, etc. 6 feet long, then it is time (and likely past time) to shut-r-down and move on. I appreciate the patience and attention that is put towards keeping this a civil forum.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Guns are like sex and air...its no big deal until YOU can't get any.
I didn't bother to read or post in any of those threads. I live in central Fl.....nuff said!
It was definitely something new for me... I have not been as active in an Internet forum to the extent I have in this one. Thanks for the opportunity and for keeping it civil... At least trying to.
"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."

I would like to take a moment to thank our moderators- you do a wonderful job keeping this place as civil as can be expected with all of us here having such strong opinions, and as varied as they are, it's a monster of a job. Thank you.
And, also, how many of you have worked in mental institutions before- you seem to have practice keeping the crazies from killing each other...

Please take everything I say with at least one grain of salt- I am a very sarcastic person with a very dry sense of humor.

There's about 10 minutes left in this one, and it's still Bayern Munich 1-1 Real Madrid at the Allianz Arena. Since Mesut Özil's equaliser, it's been basically all Bayern -- the visitors are looking to simply sit back and hit their opponents on the counterattack, which hasn't really worked very well of late because Bayern are doing such a great job of keeping the ball. An overly exuberant attempt to rectify that particular situation from Sergio Ramos has led to a yellow card for the centre back after a nasty tackle on Thomas Müller.
Here's another sub by Jose Mourinho -- Ángel di María, who was Madrid's standout player in the first half, has been replaced by Esteban Granero, a central midfielder. This means that the visitors are probably in a 4-3-3 with Marcelo on Karim Benzema's left, in case you're the sort of person who needs to know the formation at all times, in which case you're a weirdo.

Mac Nylon Eyeshadow
I have a modest collection of Mac eyeshadows, but I'm trying to purchase the ones I will get the most wear out of to begin with. I have Woodwinked, Bisque, Naked Lunch and Satin Taupe. So my next purchase was Nylon is a lovely frosted champagne shade, i don't really have anything else like this in my collection so it fits in well.
Like most people i use this as a highlighter shade in my tear duct area and also under my brows. It's quite a creamy textured eyeshadow and applies easily and blends like a dream. The colour is pigmented and can be built up to a really lovely bold colour – if you want a more dramatic highlight for evening. It makes your eyes look bright and awake (we could all use a little bit of that, right?!). I've not worn it as an all ove the lid eyeshadow yet. But when i do i will add an edit to this post.
Using this as a highlighter should mean it lasts for quite a while as you really don't use much product doing that. I'm impressed with the colour and the frost finish makes it perfect for highlighting and it doesn't have large flecks of glitter shimmer, it's subtle shimmer and the shadow is very fine. So its not too OTT. You don't want to go out during the day looking like a disco ball.
I think this Nylon eyeshadow is another great addition to my collection. What Mac eyeshadow should i pick up next time. I have my eye on All That Glitters. But i need to add some great vibrant colours into my Mac collection too. Nylon cost £12 for 1.5g

This is gorgeous! It reminds me of a more yellow version of NARS Albatross with the way it catches the light. I'm definitely going to be scoping this out next month when I'm able to shop at MAC again
This looks like such a good shade, I might have to treat myself to some eyeshadows as well as blushes now! *Bank account cries*.
this is such a gorgeous colour. i think its the perfect champagne to sweet across your lid!
Great review! That colour looks gorgeous, will have to check it out next time i'm at Mac x
I've been after Nylon to add to my collection for a while. I'd heard it was great as a tear duct/brow bone highlight and now I've heard it again so I'll definitely have to get my hands on it! I would definitely go for All That Glitters next, it's one of my absolute faves. I also like Retrospek which is a lovely subtle gold/sand shade. xx
This is lovely! I want to try more MAC products as I only really have a foundation (which I hate) and an endless amount of lipsticks! xo
This is such a gorgeous color! Looks like a great eye brightening shade, too

All else fails, pick up a metz 76mz handle mount flash... GN is 76m at 100... Compared to the 58 for the 580 or even 60 for the 600 Canons, it is just more powerful.
That's some powerful flash. Looks like it's going to run >$1100 with the Canon adapter and needed accessories though. It might be cheaper, although more painful, to drag along one of my Alien Bees next time..
It is a beast of a flash... Prices have gone up (surprise surprise) since I last bought on many moons ago. For that price you can pick up a decent strobe kit (alien bee's or white lightings or a cheap profoto) but then you have to worry about stands, awkward transport from display to display... There are trade-offs either way. The metz semi attaches to your camera via bracket and it's a portable easy set up with ettl, strobo/multi flash, modeling lamp, etc... all the functionality we love from our canon flashes but the power of a small strobe. I shot with those back in the film days but when I switched to the 10d, that model couldn't support digital cameras, I moved to a cheaper metz shoemount flash, and then when i got the 7d, moved to canon flashes for the wireless flash triggering... I miss the raw power of this flash but admittedly it's gone up in price and I'd rather grab even more power with white lightnings for half the cost... But then there are the trade off's mentioned before.

On Friday, 22 March 2013, a tornado ripped through more than a dozen rural villages in eastern Bangladesh, in the district of Brahmanbaria. The disaster took the lives of at least 31 people, injured close to 400 others and destroyed more than a thousand homes.
WFP complemented the Government of Bangladesh's efforts to provide immediate assistance to the tornado victims by distributing 12.33 tons of High Energy Biscuits (HEBs) to 1,631 affected households. Each household received 7.5 kg of HEBs to cover the most urgent food and nutrition needs of affected families.
Zainab Bibi is one of the people who lost their homes. "At first I thought some trains were passing through the area causing the loud noise. I rushed outside and saw something shaped like a black giant rolling towards my house," she narrates. "The weather was getting hotter by the minute. I called my son and my daughter and we took shelter in a neighbour's brick house. When we came out after the storm, we saw that our house and many others were razed to the ground."

By Emily Butera, Senior Program Officer for Detention and Asylum at the Women's Refugee Commission and Amy Elmgren, Detention and Asylum Intern at the Women's Refugee Commission
Jeanne[1] , from Haiti, lived in the U.S. with her four U.S. citizen children. The sheriff's department appeared at her home after her abusive boyfriend made a false 911 call against her. Rather than protecting her, the police placed her under arrest, booked her, strip searched her in front of male deputies and then sent her to a detention facility over 400 miles away from her children.
No one asked Jeanne about the domestic violence she had suffered at the hands of her boyfriend or told her that she might qualify for immigration relief because she had been a victim of crime. And no one responded to her concerns for the safety of her children. Jeanne had no way to keep in touch with her children or to make arrangements for their care while she was in detention. When she was finally released several months later, Jeanne learned that one of her sons had been sleeping in his abusive father's taxi cab and her daughter was living with a school friend's family after her father kicked her out of the house. An interaction with the police, who were supposed to protect Jeanne and her children from the boyfriend's abuse, had ended up leaving her children in increased danger of neglect and abuse. The experience left Jeanne and her children traumatized, and put her at risk of both deportation and permanent separation from her children.
This tragic situation occurred because of the growing involvement of local police in immigration enforcement and the tendency towards racial profiling that this partnership encourages. Jeanne is only one of many undocumented mothers in this kind of situation. The Women's Refugee Commission hears countless stories from women in immigration detention who regret having called the police to report domestic violence or who fear any interaction with law enforcement. We have documented these cases in several reports, including "Torn Apart by Immigration Enforcement: Parental Rights and Immigration Detention."
Programs like Secure Communities encourage local law enforcement officers to ask about immigration status when responding to a police call. Too often, these officers err on the side of overzealous enforcement. This leads to cases like Jeanne's, where police take anyone who they think looks or sounds "undocumented"— because of their race, ethnicity, native language or other characteristics — into custody so they can check their status, even if the person called to report domestic violence or another crime.
It must be noted that not all law enforcement officials make decisions based on conclusions about race, ethnicity or language. Yet it is common for immigrants to perceive that calling the police will expose them to the threat of detention, deportation and family separation. And this happens often enough that it is a legitimate fear. As a result, many victims of domestic violence and crime suffer in silence, even though it puts their lives and our communities at risk, and even when cooperation with law enforcement could open up a path to legal status.
The federal government is aware that Secure Communities has some harmful effects on immigrant communities, and especially on domestic violence and crime victims. A September 2011 report by the Homeland Security Advisory Council's Task Force on Secure Communities recommended that the program be reformed in order to respect the relationships between local police and their communities and protect victims and witnesses of domestic violence and other crimes from being caught up in the net of immigration enforcement. This acknowledgement is a good first step, but it is not enough to solve the problem.
ICE recently advised law enforcement officers to identify victims so that they can be prioritized for prosecutorial discretion.[2] The agency has also issued guidance to the field discouraging ICE officers from deporting victims of domestic violence and crime without careful consideration. But the reality is that stronger protections are needed to ensure that Secure Communities and other ICE programs are not compromising the safety and well-being of our communities and of those who need immediate protection.
The End Racial Profiling Act (H.R. 3618), introduced in the House of Representatives in December 2011, would help protect vulnerable immigrant women like Jeanne by prohibiting both federal immigration officers and local police from arbitrarily using factors like race, ethnicity, national origin, religion or gender in deciding whether to question someone about their immigration status or any other personal information. It would also allow individuals who feel that they have been victims of racial profiling to file a complaint through the Department of Justice, which would help officials monitor jurisdictions where racial profiling seems rampant. Combined with ICE's own reform efforts, the protections set forth in this bill — especially its inclusions of gender and national origin — would prevent more domestic violence victims and crime victims — and by extension more immigrant women — from being unnecessarily punished and separated from their children.
No one — no matter her or his legal status, skin color, religion or gender — should have to fear asking for help from law enforcement. This is especially true for victims of domestic violence whose lives — or whose children's lives — are at risk. Passing H.R. 3618 is a critical step towards ensuring that mothers like Jeanne feel safe coming out of the shadows to report crime and abuse. It would make every one of us safer.

Paying for performance
2 October, 2010 Leave a comment
Paying Doctors for Patient Performance from the NYT.
Pay-for-procedure (fee-for-service) reimbursement has, according to many, corrupted the health care system. It has made health care a "business" where physicians care more about the insurance billing code for a procedure than the actual procedure itself. Physicians have become more procedure-happy and order unnecessary tests, which has led to a culture of overuse.
I'm not making any excuses for such practices, but I feel like I understand at least one reason why physicians may feel the need to do this: malpractice. Malpractice is a huge issue and I think a lot of physicians order extra tests to not only make sure they are not sued, but in the event they are, they can't be pegged for "negligence" for failing to order a test.
Then again, I think there is so much negativity surrounding the pay-for-procedure model that people assume that pay-for-performance will solve all our problems. But there are many variables that depend on human error – or should I say, non-error – which, from an engineering standpoint, always complicates the interpretation of the data. As this article points out, a lot of it depends on the patient: their socioeconomic background (some of these families of 4 have a $200 for food an ENTIRE MONTH. How can we tell them to buy fresh fruits and vegetables when processed foods are so much cheaper?), ethnicity (which may pre-dispose them for a certain disease), age, language barriers, health literacy barriers (which depends on level of education, language barriers etc), and compliance.
I would also like to add that physicians may now have the incentive to pick and choose the healthiest and/or the most compliant patients. A refusal to treat the sickest or uninsured patients would exacerbate the disparity in health care already faced by our nation.
I completely agree with the article when it says that this model of reimbursement needs a lot more evaluation. Of course, my solution is to follow Mayo Clinic's lead and go with salaries….but that's just my fierce loyalty and belief in Mayo Clinic speaking…I don't think I would be able to convince every medical professional that that is the best model of payment.
EDIT: another response to the NYT article from DB's Medical Rants.

News: Soulja Boy On Completing "DeAndre Way" Album, "I Should Be Finished In 2 Weeks" [Video]
Wednesday, Jan 20, 2010 2:10PM
Teen rapper Soulja Boy Tell Em has released a video announcement that his upcoming album The DeAndre Way is nearing completion.
According to Soulja Boy, the album will be ready in a matter of weeks.
"[I'm] in the studio, recording my new album, I should be finished with it in like two weeks," Soulja Boy said in a video recording. "My first single should be hitting the radio. Make sure y'all request that 'Pronto,' me and Snoop [Dogg], request that 'Bingo' [with] me and Gucci [Mane]...and my first single is coming in two weeks. So be on the look out for that...It's 2010, I got signed in 2007, so it's three years now, officially, my third album finna drop. Everybody who ever bought any of my music, everybody that ever bought any of my albums, appreciate it. And we about to get ready to do it again. And I'm also headlining my own tour this year, 2010." (Soulja Boy Video)
Last month, Soulja Boy said Kanye West produced three songs for him.
"Three [beats]," Soulja Boy told radio host Tim Westwood regarding their completed tracks. "They sounding awesome. This album, I'm mostly doing it myself but I got a lot of producers that I'm working with. I'm working with a lot of artists, like even on Twitter. I'll send out blasts like 'Send me beats.' I got a producer called Super Sed in the 'A' that did 'Pronto,' he did 'Pronto' for Snoop Dogg..." (Tim Westwood TV)
Soulja Boy recently explained his studio process working alongside West.
"Him showing me a lot of stuff I didn't know [and] me showing him a lot of stuff he didn't know," Soulja Boy described about their in-studio relationship. "He had an ear for my sound. Of course I had an ear for all the stuff he did. Genius! ... It was three different samples that we was working on. On one of them, he was like, 'I want this to go here, I want you to do this.' I like when an artist pushes me how he was pushing me. He doesn't go easy on me...I was in the studio with [Jamie Foxx] a couple of days ago working on a new beat for him. All the artists that reached out to me for beats -- like Rihanna -- my portfolio is only getting longer and longer. With this particular [RiRi] project [it was] like, 'Whoa!' because [her rep was] like, 'Yo, I need you to do something for Rihanna's album. You got 11 hours. Go!' It was like, 'What? I'm all out of pocket.' How do you make something that's gonna be a number one hit so fast? But it's been done before because I made 'Crank That' in 30 minutes." (MTV)
He previously discussed his aim to recruit high profile artists like Eminem and Jay-Z for The DeAndre Way.
"Maybe after I put [Lil] Wayne on this album and we make something historical, me and Kanye work together and make something historical, and me and Drake spit something hot as h*ll together, I think that's what's going to determine the future -- I think I have a better chance of getting Eminem on my album than Jay-Z. I don't know nothin' about Jay-Z, but I'm affiliated with Eminem 'cause we on the same label and I know a lot of people that know him." (Rap-Up)
The DeAndre Way is slated to hit retail stores summer 2010.

St Leonard's Church Apethorpe aims to make the love of God known to everyone who lives in the village, through lively worship and caring fellowship.
The Church and its environment
The village of Apethorpe is situated 7 miles north of the market town of Oundle to which Deanery the Church of St Leonard belongs. There is a population of around 140 people in both owner occupied and rented properties.
The Church is joined in a Benefice with the nearby villages of Nassington, Woodnewton & Yarwell, which are all served by the Very Reverend Bishop John Flack who is helped by a number of readers and retired clergy. Services are held every Sunday at 11am either with the Bishop or retired clergy officiating.
Apethorpe was historically the seat of the Earls of Westmoreland and boasts a large 3-courtyard Hall currently owned by English Heritage. The Brassey family owned the Hall from 1904 to 1947 when it was sold to the Roman Catholic Church and used as a School until the mid 80's. Lord and Lady Brassey now live in the Manor House, next to the Church.
Whilst there is some evidence of an earlier Church, recent dendrological tests carried out by English Heritage show that the present Church was most likely to have been built sometime in the mid to late 15th century. The church has many objects well worth seeing including the Mildmay Monument in the South Chapel with the most wonderful painted glass window, both dated 1621 and both built as a memorial to Sir Anthony and Lady Grace Mildmay. The main west window is also painted but from a later date.

Lots of church youth groups (including ours) worked the Saturday after the tornado, helping to clear properties from limbs and other debris. Many community and neighborhood groups used their gloved hands to pile up rubble on behalf of storm victims.
For most of us in Kokomo, the odd truth is that life goes on pretty much as it did a month ago. Out of necessity, we may patronize competing businesses; we may choose alternate routes in the name of speed. Yet unless we or someone close to us was affected, our routines are stable. Our consciences whisper this is horribly unfair, but such is the nature of natural disaster. One house destroyed, the house next door untouched.
Last week, our trash pickup was delayed a couple of days. I thought the delay would be much longer, in light of the tornadoes' impact. This week, the pickup was right on schedule, not missing a beat. The city and county are up and running.
Scott Smith of the Kokomo Tribune recently reported, "Some 60 businesses were hit by the tornadoes which slashed through Kokomo, with Eriks Chevrolet possibly bearing the worst damage. Insurance adjusters were trying to determine this week how much of the dealership's large inventory was damaged by the storm.
"Local and state officials have begun the lengthy process of determining many of the costs associated with the storm, but the loss of economic activity might be one of the toughest numbers to isolate.
"'It's going to take us months,' said the city's director of development Steve Whikehart, who is busy compiling an 'impact statement' for the Federal Emergency Management Agency."
Working with federal and state agencies, city and county leaders have a lot to figure out. Home and business owners are in frequent contact with their insurance agents, who, in turn, have to work with higher-ups in their organizations. Perhaps none of us can imagine the red tape (now relocated to cyberspace) these folks must wade through in their attempt to return our community to a pre-tornado state.

Max Benezra '15 (Psychology, Sociology, Disaster Studies) represented SUNY New Paltz with the results of his research at the American Psychological Association's Annual Convention in Honolulu, Hawaii, July 31-Aug. 4. Along with his mentor, Professor Kathleen Tillman (Psychology), they presented their work, "Factors influencing whether or not school counselors report childhood physical abuse," and won an award from their division on their poster presentation. "As an undergraduate, this experience is invaluable. It means so much to me, for my future, and for all that will come my way," Benezra wrote in an experience statement that he submitted upon his return.
Benezra received a Student Travel Award (STA) from Undergraduate Research Scholarship and Creative Activities (RSCA). For more information about the STA, or to review the STA application with detailed instructions, visit the Conference Travel Funds section of the Undergraduate Research webpage.

New Pebble Appstore Hits iOS Today, Android Coming Soon
Pebble wearers now have one condensed hub for downloading apps and watchfaces. The company has announced that its official Pebble appstore is live, meaning watch wearers can begin browsing the app marketplace today directly from the existing Pebble app.
The Pebble Appstore is launching for iOS today, but the company promises that its Android version will be released "very, very soon." The store houses more than 1,000 apps that were previously scattered across multiple third-party app stores including PebbleBarn and MyPebbleFaces. The Pebble platform boasts more apps than other competing smartwatch ecosystems. The Sony Smartwatch 2 is compatible with about 300 apps, while the Samsung Galaxy Gear only boasts around 75 apps and only works with select Samsung smartphones.
MORE:Pebble Steel: Full Review
The Pebble Appstore is broken down into six main categories including Daily, Tools & Utilities, Notifications, Remotes, Fitness and Games. Underneath these genres, which are presented in a tiled format, are other sections such as Most Loved Apps, Pebble Essentials and Weekly Top Picks.
The store houses Pebble 2.0 apps, which are based on the updated firmware that was announced toward the end of 2013. It's unclear if all Pebble 1.0 apps will transition to the new Pebble 2.0 appstore, but the company says its app will automatically retrieve apps that are similar to those already installed if they aren't available for the new firmware.
Although Pebble is kicking off its appstore today, that doesn't mean third-party marketplaces are calling it quits. PebbleBarn, for example, also announced that its updating its store to include Pebble 2.0 apps.
"SDK 2.0 is coming soon, and we're here to stay!" PebbleBarn wrote in an announcement on Monday.
Since all apps in the official Pebble app store are free, PebbleBarn is alluring developers with the premise that they can actually charge for apps in their store. At the same time, PebbleBarn is touting itself as the "primary marketplace for premium Pebble apps" to appeal to customers.
The official Pebble appstore, however, will feature apps from the company's newest partners including Foursquare, Pandora, Yelp! and Mercedes Benz among others.

Like everyone has said...this is definitely not one of the best free agent classes that the NBA has ever seen but at the same time....I think there is a lot of potential to get very key players to make a significant impact on your team and that is where the Wizards come into this. The Wizards need some veteran leadership and that should be one of the main goals of the free agency period. Here are a couple guys that I think the Wizards should try and pick up and if they are successful.....they could contend in the East this season.
1) David West - Drastic upgrade at the Power Forward position and averages about a double double a night. Gives John Wall a nice safety valve if things break down and they need a quick shot. Also provides some toughness in the post cause in past years.....it seems that the wizards have not had anyone that likes to go down in the block and bang to get boards and points.
2) Marcus Thornton - He is listed at a Shooting Guard but I believe he has the skill set to run the point as well and that will be a tremendous asset having him as a backup to John Wall. Usually scores a decent amount of points a night....solid pickup for the team.
3) Tracy McGrady - I know this sounds kind of weird but I believe he could be a tremendous asset to the Wizards. He is a veteran that could provide leadership. Knows how to get his own shot and if he is forced.....he can take over a game ( see T-Mac with the Houston Rockets). If they offer him an incentive ladden deal....there really is not risk in this signing and if it doesnt work out....cut him. But on the off chance he can get back to his old form and you have to remember.....this is a shortened season.....so his legs might keep up a lot better with about 15 less games than they would in a normal regular season.
4) Jeff Green - Great small forward that gives you points and rebounds....great addition and gives us a true 3 man. He could start and Rashard Lewis could either move to the 4 or be the 6th man and become a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses. The Orlando Magic were so successful with Lewis because he created major match up problems.....the Wizards need to create that as well.
Let me know what players you think the Wizards should go after in Free Agency

Students in the Ph.D. program in English undertake a program of study designed to train them to be productive scholars and teachers in their chosen fields. Course work exposes students to the important texts, current issues, and critical methodologies of the discipline. Drawing on the breadth of this preparation, students demonstrate their ability to recognize and produce scholarly arguments in the preliminary examination. In the third or fourth year, comprehensive exams require students to develop three defined areas of scholarly interest and competence corresponding to recognized and emerging fields of study. The dissertation provides an opportunity for designing a focused research project in consultation with a dissertation advisor. Throughout the program, faculty work closely with doctoral students to develop their scholarly and professional identities in preparation for careers in academia.
As they complete their studies, the department offers strong support to students for the academic job search, including workshops on stages from dissertation writing to the job market itself, individual advising, mock interviews, and a departmental dossier service. We have a high rate of placement for students conducting a national job search, and our graduates have obtained tenure-track positions at colleges and universities across the country, including Columbia College (Chicago); the Florida Institute of Technology; McKendree University; Park University (Missouri); Sterling College; Rhode Island College; Wesleyan College (Georgia); and the University of Puerto Rico; and visiting or postdoctoral positions at institutions including Duke University, Providence College, and West Point.
For complete information on requirements for and policies in the Ph.D. program, please consult the graduate booklet published by the Graduate School (PDF format). Please note the following update, which will be incorporated in the 2013-2014 graduate booklet. Starting with the 2013-2014 entering graduate student cohort, all PhD students will be required to enroll in ENGL 5103: Proseminar and ENGL 7392: Writing and the Teaching of Writing (descriptions below) during their first Fall semester. Petitions will be considered by the Graduate Studies Committee if you have already taken Proseminar or similar in a previous graduate program.
- ENGL 5103: Proseminar
The proseminar, required for all graduate students in English, will introduce students to the history and current scholarly practices of English studies. The proseminar will survey theoretical, methodological, and institutional issues in the development of the discipline; introduce students to the research of the English department's graduate faculty; and provide opportunities for the practice of key components of scholarly production, including formulating research questions, using databases, conducting literature reviews, and writing and presenting scholarship in common formats other than the long research paper, such as conference proposals, oral presentations, and book reviews.
- ENGL 7392: Writing and the Teaching of Writing
Examines the theory and practice of writing and teaching writing. Required for stipended graduate assistants (SGAs) in their first year of teaching in the Writing Program in the English department.

"My child you used and pierced my heart a hundred times and deep"
Posted by Sappho on February 7th, 2014 filed in News and Commentary
When my father married my stepmother, my mother bought me a new skirt and blouse for the wedding. I'm not a woman who often remembers what she wore, on any given special day, but I remember that skirt. It was light blue, and fell just below my knees. I also remember how my mother applied my first make up, before sending me off to that wedding.
My grandmother, once, furious at my father for divorcing her daughter, refused me a stamp to write a letter to him. I could write him, she said, but she wasn't going to subsidize my father with a stamp. I told my mother, and she, in turn, furious in her own daughter's defense, let her mother know that, whatever her feelings about the divorce, I was always to get stamps to write my father.
And this brings me to what bugs me about Robert Weide's defense of Woody Allen. Let me explain.
We have an old script for what couples are supposed to do, when they have children together. You marry, if you weren't married already, and you try, when marriage gets tough, to sort your problems out. Stay married, for the sake of the children.
But sometimes that old script doesn't work out. You conceive the child, and the other parent proves not to be someone you could marry. Or you try to make the marriage work, and in the end the two of you can't sort it out. And for those cases, we have a new script. You may vent to your friends about your Evil Ex, but you pull it together, and you sort your problems out enough to agree on a custody and visitation arrangement, and you remember that, after all, this is still the father (or mother) of your children. Have the good divorce, for the sake of the children.
Now, 22 years after the fact, we're back to arguing, on social media, about a couple that could do neither, and a seven-year-old girl, Dylan Farrow, who now writes that yes, her father did molest her, one day in the attic in her mother's house in Connecticut. Trust that Dylan is telling the truth, says Aaron Bady, because
We are in the midst of an ongoing, quiet epidemic of sexual violence, now as always. We are not in the midst of an epidemic of false rape charges, and that fact is important here.
Not so fast, says Woody Allen's biography, Robert Weide, because
if Mia's account is true, it means that in the middle of custody and support negotiations, during which Woody needed to be on his best behavior, in a house belonging to his furious ex-girlfriend, and filled with people seething mad at him, Woody, who is a well-known claustrophobic, decided this would be the ideal time and place to take his daughter into an attic and molest her, quickly, before a house full of children and nannies noticed they were both missing.
And on this, the worst accusation, I have nothing really to add. Yes, I have a favorite Woody Allen movie, and I make no apologies for having one. It's Annie Hall, and it was my favorite Woody Allen movie long before Dylan Farrow was ever born, since back when I was years younger than Soon-Yi Previn was when Woody Allen first slept with her. Yes, I watched and loved many Woody Allen movies, before I knew what a mess his private life was, and yes, they're still a vibrant part of my imagination, all these decades later. And no, I have no idea what happened in that attic. I know, as a general matter, that sexual violence and abuse are more common than false allegations, but in a particular case? As Dahlia Lithwick says
… all I can think is: What evidence? What standard? What court? We haven't seen most of the evidence. Evidence in this case has been destroyed. Experts were never cross-examined. Different judges came to different conclusions. What evidence are we weighing? What "court" are we convening here, and what are the rules of the road? Do we even take conflicting evidence into consideration? What kind of evidence is "admissible"? Calling Mia Farrow a "whore"? Calling Dylan Farrow a "bitch"? Closely reading Allen's movies? Do we consider that some of the advocates on each side are cretins? I have no idea. In the Court of Public Opinion, the one-eyed man with the most Twitter followers is king.
I have no desire to hurt my friends who have suffered similar abuse to what Dylan Farrow recounts, but, if preserving some doubt that I have any real idea what happened 22 years ago, among people I don't know at all, about whom the people who were in a position to know give wildly conflicting accounts, offends people, well I'll have to settle for offending people. I just don't know what happened in that attic.
What I do know is this. The reason it's easy for many to see Mia Farrow as a sort of Medea, sacrificing her own daughter's happiness in her vindictiveness toward Woody Allen is the same reason that it's also easy for many to see Woody as the sort of monster who would abuse his own seven-year-old daughter, the undeniable fact that Woody did betray his not quite wife with his not quite stepdaughter, who was not quite underage at the time, which is rather a lot of not quites to stomach.
And the problem I have with Weide's defense of Woody is that he makes light of that transgression. Yes, he acknowledge that "If anyone is creeped out by the notion of a 55-year old man becoming involved with his girlfriend's 19-year old adopted daughter, I understand." But he then immediately rushes to minimize that understanding, pairing reasons why Woody's relationship with Soon-Yi wasn't as bad as you might think with talk about Mia's own checkered sexual history, to suggest that it all comes out in the wash, and we may as well just overlook all of it. What does it matter if Woody slept with Soon-Yi, if Mia may also have cheated on Woody with Frank Sinatra?
Mia Farrow, Weide says, wasn't actually Woody Allen's common law wife, and Soon-Yi Previn wasn't actually his stepdaughter. Well, yes, didn't everyone already know that? The pair famously never married, in the eleven years they were together. And no, New York doesn't have common law marriage. And no, we don't have a legal category for "baby mama's daughter." But what words like "common law marriage" and "stepdaughter" are groping for is the fact that, when a man and a woman have children together, normally they are married, and so, speaking of a baby mama as simply a "girl friend" seems to sell the relationship short. Or to sell short the reasons why having sex with your baby mama's daughter is socially incestuous (even if not legally so), and creepy as all get out.
There are (at least) three reasons incest is wrong. There's the issue of inbreeding and genetic defects, first. And there's the issue of abuse of trust and power, second. And, third, there's the "don't shit where you eat" reason, that incest royally screws up your family. Even if you argue that Soon-Yi is the special snowflake case where abuse of trust and power doesn't apply, and everything was hunky dory and consensual, and Woody Allen wasn't in the least bit in the role of father toward her, I don't see how you can deny that the "don't shit where you eat" aspect of the thing doesn't apply, or that there was any way this family was going to come away from this relationship other than royally screwed up.
Here's why. Let's assume an alternate timeline, in which it's both the case that Woody Allen isn't the least bit of a pedophile, and also the case that Mia Farrow is as stable and grounded as you can possibly imagine a woman to be, who has just learned that the father of some of her children is sleeping with one of her other children. We can assume that, in this alternate timeline, Dylan Farrow is now a much happier woman, and has no untoward memories involving an attic and a toy train. But how much more can we assume? How does healthy, stable, wise, and grounded Mia react to the discovery that Woody is sleeping with Soon-Yi?
We know how the actual Mia Farrow reacted. She (again famously) presented Woody with a Victorian valentine, with pins through the hearts of all her children, and a steak knife through her own chest, a picture of Soon-Yi attached to that steak knife. On that card, she wrote:
Once my heart was one and it was yours to keep
My child you used and pierced my heart a hundred times and deep
Perhaps alternate timeline particularly stable and grounded Mia doesn't do this. Perhaps she doesn't do many of the other things that Mia is said to have done, on discovering those naked photos of her daughter, in her lover's possession. But is it likely that any possible Mia, in that situation, doesn't think, "my child you used"? If Soon-Yi was twenty at the time of the split, she was, what, nine when Woody came into her mother's life? Is it really likely that any mother, on learning that the father of some of her children, who has been in her household daily as a father, the man who first met her older daughter when she was in grade school, the man she had encouraged to take a fatherly interest in said daughter, now is sleeping with said daughter, thinks, hey, they're consenting adults, it's no different from his meeting someone at a party?
Is it likely that she thoroughly trusts that father with their seven-year-old daughter? Is it likely that she, like my mother, sets aside any differences she may have had with her ex enough to buy Dylan a new dress and apply a little make up, before sending her off to Woody's and Soon-Yi's wedding? Is it likely, even in that happier alternate timeline where we both know that Woody's no pedophile and also that Mia's the most stable of women, that all three of their children grow up on good terms with both parents? Doesn't a man have some obligation not to do that which will make the mother of his children (not just a particularly unreasonable mother of his children, but any reasonable woman in her place) see him as a monster? For the sake of his children?
Sexual ethics aren't just about not doing what's hurtful to your immediate sex partner, they're also about not doing things that will make it hard for your children to flourish. And not sleeping with the daughter of the mother of your children seems like a pretty baseline requirement here. I don't doubt Woody Allen's brilliance and talent, but I also don't doubt his creepiness.

I read Dylan's letter in the NYT. I don't understand how people can read that letter and have any doubt that what she describes is real. In the reality I experience, it just isn't possible for anyone to "coach" another person into writing that letter. I've enjoyed some of his movies (notably two that featured Mia) but I've definitely seen my last Woody Allen movie, after reading that letter.
You refer to Mia as Woody's "baby mama" which I find offensive. Do they have any shared biological children? Ronan definitely resembles Frank Sinatra, in terms of facial features, but not Woody.
Anyway, we agree on not doubting Mr. Allen's creepiness.

OK, I retract the "baby mama." I was trying to think of a word to express that "person with whom you're raising children" isn't just "girl friend," or, as Woody Allen suggests (in a self serving way, since however their relationship may have dwindled, they hadn't formally broken up and she had just recently let him get added as an adoptive parent for Dylan and Moses), "ex-girl friend." Maybe I should have stuck with "mother of his children," since, whoever Ronan's biological father is, they had definitely adopted children together.
Since writing this, I've read Woody Allen's reply to Dylan's letter, and it's the opposite of persuasive in his defense. I don't think I can enjoy another Woody Allen movie at this point, either.

Is Aramaic a Part of Hebrew?
In last week's article we showed that speaking Hebrew is a Mitzva. If so, why did the Rabbis of the Talmud converse in Aramaic? The Babylonian Talmud was written in Aramaic and not in Hebrew. The Biblical Book of Daniel is written partly in Aramaic. Even the Torah itself in Bereshit 31:47 has an Aramaic phrase.Continue Reading

The True Source of All Authority
We'll start with the sedra, but we'll go beyond (or before) it as well.
Sho-f'tim seems to be about authority. Several of our feature writers focused on the connection between the sedra and the beginning of Elul.
Let's take a look. The sedra begins with the command to appoint judges and officers to be responsible for the carrying out of justice. The various levels of Batei Din and Sanhedrins (small ones of 23 judges and the Great Sanhedrin of 71) have an awesome task and are given a tremendous amount of authority over the people. But what (or rather Who) is the source of that authority? The obvious answer is G-d.
He is the Dayan Emet - the True Judge. And He is capable of running the whole show - but He gave over to people the responsibility and power of administering Justice.
are Torah Tidbits-style riddles on Parshat HaShavua (sometimes on the calendar). They are found in the hard-copy of TT scattered throughout, usually at the bottom of different columns. In the electronic versions of TT, they are found all together at the end of the ParshaPix-TTriddles section. The best solution set submitted each week (there isn't always a best) wins a double prize a CD from Noam Productions and/or a gift (game, puzzle, book, etc.) from Big Deal
Divrei Menachem
This week's parsha talks much of judges and the kings. To sum it up, the nobility must take care neither to become haughty nor to become corrupt. Both are instructed what to avoid and both royalty and judges are to behave in ways that serve as examples of righteousness to the people.Continue Reading
How to Respond
In her recent talk at the very successful joint Puah and OU conference on Intimacy held in Teaneck, New Jersey, the psychologist Dr. Sara Barris spoke about the dynamics of intimacy in all stages of life, how to connect together "for the long haul", in her words.
She compared successful and unsuccessful marriages, including in the latter group marriages that still survived but that had become stale for both spouses and left the couple just going through the motions but lacking the emotions.
One of the things that bind couples together is what Dr. Barris called acts of constructive response, as opposed to destructive response. This is reflected in the way one partner responds to the success of the other.
Rachamim vs. Din
The month of ELUL is here. The Sepharadim amongst us already rise early to say the selichot prayers, which include the 13 attributes of RACHAMIM used to bring down G-d's compassion on our nation. Soon the Ashkenazim will join in as well.Continue Reading
Parsha Points to Ponder
1) Why does the Torah add the words TO TRANSGRESS HIS COVENANT (LA'AVOR B'RITO) when describing a person who serves idols (17:2)? Isn't it obvious that a person who does this is violating the pact G-D made with His people?
2) Why does the person who serves idols have to be brought specifically to the place where he worshiped the idols to have his judgement (17:5 - EL SH'ARECHA - Rashi)?
3) Why are the laws of Egla Arufa, regarding a dead body found between two cities, placed in the midst of laws regarding wars (see 21:1-9 and the sections before and after)?

No ID yet for officers in Walpole shooting
Rundles stayed mum on other details surrounding the death of Larry A. Bohannon, 51, citing the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Bohannon died from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen on March 29.
Bohannon had allegedly robbed a store at gun point in Bellows Falls, Vt. earlier in the day. When he fled into New Hampshire, Alstead and Walpole officers pursued his vehicle until they were able to stop him on Upper Walpole Road in Walpole, where the shooting occurred.
Rundles would not identify the shooter, only saying that Alstead and Walpole officers were the only police on the scene.
"When an officer is involved in the discharging of a firearm that results in either the death or injury of another person," the officer is relieved from duty, "until he or she is ready to go back to regular police work."
Rundles would not comment on whether Bohannon had a firearm.
"We're not releasing any further details surrounding the shooting yet," she said.
Results of the investigation are expected to be released early next week, she said.
Lebanon police Lt. Phil Roberts said Thursday his department is looking into whether Bohannon committed two unsolved armed robberies that took place in March.
In both the March 8 robbery of the Little Store on School Street and the March 27 robbery of the Family Dollar store in the Miracle Mile Plaza, witnesses said a white man, about 6 feet tall, brandished a handgun and demanded money.
When asked if Bohannon was being investigated for unsolved Keene crimes, Keene police referred questions to the Attorney General's Office.
Bohannon had a criminal record. In 1994 he received two concurrent 20-year sentences for a kidnapping conviction in Sullivan County and a bail-jumping conviction out of Cheshire County.
Bohannon was first paroled on the sentences in 1996, then returned to jail two more times for technical parole violations.
He had been wanted as a fugitive from justice since July 2011 when he failed to meet with his parole officer.

Operation Joy – With two days being spent on the streets of Manchester for the time being it has become easier to be recognised. The sandwiches provided for me on Wednesday during this past week had all been given out by 12.45pm.
I had seen D on Tuesday and came across him and his partner again on Wednesday. He had remembered the promise of a sandwich and remarked that 'here is a man who keeps his word'. Simple, but effective, in building relationships.
4 Site – This ministry has gone into a research phase and it will be important to be in touch with the chaplaincy at the Showmen's Guild before proceeding with more visits to Showmen sites; visits to the Traveller and Gypsy sites should be recommenced from the beginning of July.

Operation Joy – At the moment my time is concentrated on the streets of Manchester over a two day period each week. This has resulted in seeing more people for a second time and as faces become more familiar conversations are easier to start.
One man told me that he had a scientific mind; he could not get beyond that despite there being several Christians in his immediate family. He paraphrased the story of the prodigal son; evidently he would love to be welcomed back by God, but the issues of science are an obstacle.
In a group I met elsewhere was another man wanting to talk about his perception of God. One of this group was seen at one of the drop-ins on the following day, all useful ways forward.
4 Site – For various reasons I am leaving Traveller sites until later this month. However whilst walking down a street in Bolton I saw an out-of-date notice board with phone numbers for the leaders of the Gypsy Church meeting in the town.
Having been in touch I am better placed to go to one their meetings at some time in the future. I also hope to be in touch separately with the chaplain to Fairground people whose details I have come across.
