MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala.
-- Most people are not aware of a warehouse on Gunter with its own zip code, according to Maj. James Young, commandant of the Air Force Career Development Academy.
"I would venture to say that most of the Air Force population doesn't know we exist. They just don't understand what the capabilities we have are," Young said.
"It's crucial that the Air Force, as a whole, understands what we do," he said. "They know there are people writing these courses, they know they are receiving these courses, but what's the middle portion? That's what my folks do."
The Air Force Career Development Academy, which formed Jan. 1, handles the production and distribution of education material for enlisted Airmen under the direction of the Barnes Center.
Col. Stewart Price, commander of the Barnes Center, looks forward to tackling this task.
"The mission of the Air Force Career Development Academy is to focus on and produce career development courses (CDC's) for our enlisted force and weighted Airman's performance system (WAPS)," Price said. "The Barnes Center was established to focus on the continuum of enlisted education. A4/L (The program that preceded the AFCDA) remained on the Air University staff. Over time, we saw there was some synergy to be found in bringing production of CDC'c and WAPS into the Barnes Center for enlisted education."
Price said he hopes the move will improve efficiency over the previous arrangement and allow the academy to interface and improve courses across the Barnes Center.
"It will be an opportunity to be more effective and more efficient in the way that we produce our products, both in the former A4/L mission and the way we support our other programs," he said.
"We have an opportunity to contribute to all of those things. The processes we have to produce CDC's and WAPS, the production, the printing, the shipping is a similar process that we use for other parts of Barnes Center programs," Price said.
Chief Master Sgt. Grant Embrey echoed Price's statements on efficiency. The restructuring will allow them to operate under the same umbrella under which all enlisted education operates.
"I think it's important that the organization fall underneath the Barnes Center because it fits it all together into one piece," he said. "We share the facility with the Barnes Center and to have our commander on scene is very important for the organization."
In an ever-changing environment, enlisted education is critical to the Air Force mission. The AFCDA is critical piece of that puzzle, said Young.
"The United States Air Force has the best trained force in the entire world. Having the Air Force Career Development Academy gives us an entry level after tech school that provides the next level of training they need to progress in their career. We must have that for the best trained force in the world." With the AFCDA hitting its stride, Young believes it is positioned to continue impact enlisted education now and for years to come.
"I expect the Air Force Career Development Academy to continue to provide the great products we have throughout our history, which will continue to train our Airmen to lead into the 21st century and beyond," Young said.
"This year alone we have almost 64,000 Airmen in career development courses alone. To know that we affect them and what they're going to do with their career, it's truly a great honor," he said.

Friends, after 6 months of extract brewing I am making the transition to AG! I have made a mash tun from a 10g Igloo cooler. I have made a false bottom from a piece of perforated stainless steel and put together some fittings, ball valve etc... I tested it tonight by filling it with a few gallons of water and then draining. After the tun had stopped draining, I found that it still had a half a gallon of water in it. After doing some research it seems that this type of false bottom usually abandons more liquid in the tun than some others. I read one example for estimating mash water volume, and it even used 0.5 gallons in the example equation (maybe they used 0.5 to make the example easy?):http://www.brew365.com/technique_cal...ter_volume.php
I can't help but feel like this is too much, and will kill my efficiency. I am hoping some of you who have a similar set-up will lend some advice.

"Today I felt like burning some calories....So I found a fat kid and set him on fire"
Batch sparging or fly? If batch sparging, the easy solution is to tilt the cooler to drain the rest of the wort out. That's what I did when I used a 10 gal Igloo cooler MLT.
If you are batch sparging, or better yet doing a double batch sparge, the runnings left in the tun are fairly low gravity and won't impact efficiency that greatly. Tilting the tun will also work...RDWHAHB
Did you have a piece of tubing hooked up to your ballvalve for your test? The reason I ask is when the level of the liquid drops, the tubing into the runnings works as a siphon and "pulls" the liquid out from the MLT.
As said, tilt or install a p/u tube. I use a chest cooler and tilt. Virtually no wort is left.

I seriously cannot imagine a day or life without beer!
Just for comparison, I also use a 10gallon Igloo cooler. I have a false bottom with a dip tube that gets down pretty low in the cooler.
I tested it the other day and it only left exactly 8ounces of liquid behind.
Yes, you need a diptube. But I was serious about needing tubing from the ballvalve to the fermenter. Try it! Do it without any tubing and then do it with the tubing. The tubing should end lower than where you start, like on the ground in a fermenter, and it will "pull" out the liquid like a siphon.

Jeff Taylor Won't Appeal 24-Game Suspension
Jeff Taylor will not appeal his 24-game suspension on a domestic violence incident despite the backing of the players' union.
National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts ripped NBA commissioner Adam Silver's punishment as "excessive and without precedent" in a statement on Thursday. The union was eager to challenge the NBA on the severity of the suspension based on the league's Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Taylor and his agent chose to accept the suspension and sit the remaining 13 games until he can return to the lineup.

Controversy surrounds the China Lawyers Bar Association New Draft Rules
The all China Lawyers Bar Association (ACLA) is drafting a revised "Code of Conduct for Lawyers" and accompanying "Punishment Rules of Lawyers Bar Association for Violations." The drafts have been distributed to a small group of ACLA members to collect opinions and comments. However, some of the small number of lawyers selected have posted the drafts to a wider audience online, generating controversy within the China legal profession.
The aim of the rules is to ban lawyers from posting "aggressive or inappropriate" comments about cases, or attempting to use public opinion to influence the outcome of a case or to attack the country's legal system.
Officially, it is said that the main objective of the two drafts is to limit some lawyers' attempts to obstruct justice though exposing the details of a case over the Internet and though other media or by making inappropriate comments about a case or public events in the public arena. There have been well known cases in China in which public opinion expressed over the internet may have contributed to affecting the outcome of a well known legal case.
However, critics of the rules argue that the drafts lack enforceability. And others believe that the draft aims to deprive lawyers of the basic rights of a citizen.
On the one hand, restricting the voice of lawyers online may hamper the development of China's legal system by preventing real issues from coming to the attention of the public. On the other hand, a system of mob rule, where laws are overturned by appeal to the mass of netizens is itself not conducive to the development of a system based on rule of law. Both regulators and lawyers have a responsibility to take both sides of the issue into account. Rules should be made to be as fair as possible, and lawyers have a duty to recognize that they play a special role in a society based on rule of law, and that they must always behave responsibly and in the interests of justice.

The cat in the hat: Local viewers might have had some trouble recognizing the self-proclaimed "Black Avenger" as he appeared on Eye to Eye with Connie Chung last Thursday night. Gone were the black leather chaps, the stylin' beret--and much of the attitude. Ken Hamblin looked--and sounded--like he'd just left Brooks Brothers, with a brief stop by the optician's for some professorial wire-rims. And the CBS interviewer seemed downright worshipful as he followed Hamblin--aka "the black Rush Limbaugh"--from the KNUS studio in Lakewood to his Summit County home (where he raised the American flag) to the mean streets of Denver, where Hamblin just happened to run into a former gang member who's hardly a fan.
In between, we got to hear from Hamblin fan and editor Chuck Green (who said the Denver Post gets more response to Hamblin than any other feature), as well as Hamblin opponent Chet Whye--whom CBS failed to identify as yet another black Post columnist (although it did include Whye's labels of Hamblin as a "marquee Uncle Tom" and "short, ugly black man.")
For that matter, CBS neglected to mention that last month's protest by a national black legislators' group was what got this whole publicity ball rolling (with an assist from the New York Times Rocky Mountain bureau chief, whose profile of Hamblin hit the paper January 2), or that one of those lawmakers--Diane Watson of California--renewed her call for a boycott of the Hamblin-harboring Colorado the day before the show aired.
But then, CBS also forgot to report that Hamblin faces a harassment charge involving a female radio colleague.
Why? Here's the excuse offered by a CBS publicist, who had the misfortune to call Westword to hype the show two days before its January 20 air date: The January 1 complaint against Hamblin had been filed too late to include in the show, she explained, conveniently overlooking the fact that the lead segment of Eye to Eye that evening was an up-to-the-second account of the Tonya Harding case. Still, accuracy seemed a small price to pay for the brilliant exchange that followed the Hamblin piece.
Asked Chung of her reporter, "Is this guy for real?" Oh, yes, he said, noting that someday people may be calling Rush Limbaugh "the white Ken Hamblin."
And someday chauvinist pigs may fly.
Sheet, man: Ken Hamblin to the contrary, all is not rosy for minorities in colorful Colorado. On Sunday racists did the white thing at the National Western Stock Show, papering the windshields of cars in nearby parking lots with recruiting fliers. "I want you for the Ku Klux Klan," read the motto under the white-sheeted, finger-pointing figure.
Those interested were directed to a Highlands Ranch address and phone number, where a recorded message begins with a cheery "Racial greetings" and ends--after an offer for a complete Arapahoe County KKK Kit--with the urge to "Have a nice day for white America.

It's a great book to introduce children to the many different places there are in the world. It's never too early to broaden their horizons. This book doesn't provide great depth in each location but is shows them there are kids just like them all around the world. The illustrations were great.Was this review helpful?

Libbey Reports Record Adjusted Income From Operations
Thursday April 25th, 2013 - 3:14PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
For the first quarter ended March 31, Libbey Inc. reported that sales were $183.5 million compared to $187.8 million for the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 2.3%, or 2.8% excluding currency fluctuation. Net income grew to $2 million from $600,000 in the 2012 first quarter, the company stated.
Libby related that adjusted income from operations grew 9.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2012, increasing to an all-time first quarter record of $16.4 million from $14.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 5.2% to a record for any first quarter of $26.2 million, the company asserted, after adjusting for $4.3 million of restructuring charges relating to the company's previously announced plans to discontinue production of certain glassware in North America and reduce manufacturing capacity at its Shreveport, LA manufacturing facility, versus $24.9 million for the first quarter of 2012.
"Overall, we are pleased with this quarter's results. While disappointed with a sales decline in the U.S. and Canada, we are very encouraged by our significant sales increase in Mexico and Latin America. The critical story, however, is our success in cost reductions, which resulted in record adjusted income from operations and adjusted EBITDA for any first quarter ever. This performance is even more notable, given that we had an extensive amount of maintenance activity, which led to underutilized capacity during the quarter," said Stephanie Streeter, Libbey CEO. "We are building a track record of success improving our cost structure, focusing on productivity improvements, leveraging our advantaged businesses and strengthening our balance sheet. We believe this solid start to the year should enable continued improved financial and operational performance for the remainder of 2013."
Libbey's sales in the Americas segment were $123.5 million compared to $129.7 million in the first quarter of 2012, a decrease of 4.7%, or 5.2% excluding currency fluctuation. Sales performance was led by a 4.5% increase in sales within the Mexican and Latin American end market. or 2.8% excluding currency impact, offset by an 8.6% decrease within the United States. and Canada end market, the company reported.

Q. 6. What do the Scriptures make known of God?
A. The Scriptures make known what God is, the persons in the Godhead, his decrees, and the execution of his decrees.
Q. 7. What is God?
A. God is a Spirit, in and of himself infinite in being, glory, blessedness, and perfection; all-sufficient, eternal, unchangeable, incomprehensible, everywhere present, almighty, knowing all things, most wise, most holy, most just, most merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.
Q. 8. Are there more Gods than one?
A. There is but one only, the living and true God.
Q. 6. What do the Scriptures make known of God?
A. The Scriptures make known what God is, the persons in the Godhead, his decrees, and the execution of his decrees.
Q. 7. What is God?
A. God is a Spirit, in and of himself infinite in being, glory, blessedness, and perfection; all-sufficient, eternal, unchangeable, incomprehensible, everywhere present, almighty, knowing all things, most wise, most holy, most just, most merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth.
Q. 8. Are there more Gods than one?
A. There is but one only, the living and true God.
The short answer is, the Assembly was preparing teaching tools, not an exhaustive systematic theology text. The Larger Catechism, like the other documents produced at Westminster, is a summary of Bible doctrine, and as such, the number of Scripture proofs referenced is necessarily limited.
In fact, when originally written, the Confession of Faith contained no proof texts at all. It was intended to be an exposition of what Scripture taught. It was only after the British Parliament returned the Confession and requested them that the prooftexts were added. The Catechisms were written after that and so the Assembly presumably would have included proofs in those as well.
At that time, the passage in 1 John would have been the clearest evidence of the statement they were making. In our day, with the questions surrounding that passage, those gathered at Westminster might have referenced the verses their modern counterparts point to, including Matt 3:16-17; Deut 6:4-6; 1 Cor 8:4,6; Matt 28:19-20; and 2 Cor 13:14.
The controversy around 1 John 5:7 does not require us to choose a certain translation of Scripture in order to subscribe to the Westminster Standards or uphold the truth expressed in them, nor is the truth of the statement itself weakened by our choice of the same.

Sorry, I think you're applying the informal negative connotation of "attitude" like "what's with YOUR attitude buddy?" which I didn't intend. Not that you need a dictionary lesson :-)
Yeah, if distance is the issue than new startups that are extremely localized would be the answer but odds of hitting critical mass are reduced. Like you said, even if there are 100 active homebrewers in one township doesn't mean even 20% would join a club even if they were to find out about it.
I guess the discussion, which is admittedly a complete thread hijack at this point, is the merits/pros/cons of larger spread out clubs vs smaller satellite clubs all over the place. I recognize the merits of both but my choice to be a member of the former obviously shows what my preference is. I think once you call it a "club" you suggest it's a little more organized than a random casual gathering.
Thinking back to the OP, if Somerset is too far from New Brunswick (Ferment the World meets at Harvest Moon) to drive for a club, I think you ought to consider affiliating with The Brewing Network or HBT as your club.
Flemington is close enough to Lambertville (is it?)

When I asked about joining Whales, you told me you have to many members. I really don't understand why you would take issue with someone wanting to start a club.
Anyone in Somerville area still interested in getting together? My brew ain't gonna drink itself ya know...

Cheryl Rainfield Avid Reader, Teen Fiction Writer, and Book-a-holic. All Things Books, With a Focus on Children's and Teen Fiction 2014-11-26T17:45:13Z http://cherylrainfield.com/blog/index.php/feed/atom/ WordPress cherylrainfield/pFmThttps://feedburner.google.com Cheryl Rainfield http://www.CherylRainfield.com http://cherylrainfield.com/blog/?p=6684 2014-11-24T16:28:03Z 2014-11-24T16:28:03Z

If you're writing a novel, you have something you want–or maybe need–to say. Something that's important to you. Keep going! Keep writing, listening to your heart and letting the words flow from your heart to your fingertips, and out into your pen or your keyboard.

When you're writing a first draft (or editing a second or fifth or tenth draft), there's often a point about mid-way or three-quarters of the way through when you start to feel exhaustion from working so hard, or you may even start doubting your work. But don't listen to that. You have something you need to say. Something that will matter to other people. So keep writing. Keep letting the words spill out onto the page. Someday, that novel may reach other people and change their lives for the better. Someday, your words may help others know that they're not alone, or things can get better, or they may just help someone else escape from something painful in their life for a while and gain a little good feeling.

So keep going. Don't stop now. You can do it!

Love from a fellow book lover and writer.

PS

This was my first year taking part in #NaNoWriMo (though I've written and published 6 books), and I LOVED it.

I love writing quickly. I always write first drafts of my books quickly; I think it keeps me firmly in my writing mode, where I'm deeply connected to my creativity, inner voice, and what I need to say, rather than my editor mode, where I'm looking at the language and content and picking it apart to make it stronger and better. I think first drafts are meant to be written quickly, so we stay in the hearts and minds of our characters and the writing. At least, that's what works best for me.

So whether you normally write quickly or not, #NaNoWriMo may be the perfect time to jump into writing flat-out fast, getting all the words out on the page before the editor in your head chimes in. The perfect time to keep the words flowing forward.

Write what you want, what you need. Enjoy it! And if you reach your 50,000-word goal for #NaNoWriMo this year, take heart in seeing "winner" pop up after you validate your manuscript, or watching the video of other writers cheering and clapping you on. Writing can be such a solitary endeavor; I wish we always had "winner" pop up and a cheering crowd for every new book and every new draft we completed. But we can imagine our own cheerleaders, or let our friends know and celebrate with them.

Keep writing. Enjoy the process. You can do this!

And then take a well-deserved break. I know I am. (smiling)

Comments from readers like these two–by Miracle and Annie–are a HUGE part of why I write. It is incredible to hear that my books help people stay alive and get through hard times, or stop cutting and get help, or accept their queerness and come out to others! (beaming) Amazing and so feel-good to have my books help others survive and heal and stay alive–just the way my favorite books helped me. I'm not sure I could have survived the torture and abuse I did without books, so it feels like a gift to me that my books help others, too.

I feel I can share these two letters because they were made publicly. I receive letters like this often–and they fuel me. They are soul food. On my darkest days, they give me light.

So if you have a book that helped you through hard times, don't hesitate to let the author know!

There are a number of writing technique and book marketing ebooks on sale today only (Fri Nov 7, 2014) for only $0.99 on Amazon that, if you're a writer, published or pre-published, you may want to buy. I've snatched up most of the ones I've listed here myself. As a writer, I think I can always keep learning and growing, perfecting my craft.

Writing Technique

Mary Buckham's Writing Active Setting Book 1: Characterization and Sensory Detail.
 Mary Buckham teaches courses on writing technique, and I've loved very article I've read by her, so I snatched this one up immediately. I highly recommend her work.

Write Your Novel From The Middle: A New Approach for Plotters, Pantsers and Everyone in Between by James Scott Bell.

I've bought and read James Scott Bell's books on writing technique before; I know he has solid, helpful advice, so I snatched this one up, too.

The Indie Author Power Pack: How To Write, Publish, & Market Your Book

This is a 3-book set, combining: WRITE. PUBLISH. REPEAT.: The No-Luck-Required Guide to Self-Publishing Success by Sean Platt & Johnny B. Truant; LET'S GET DIGITAL: How To Self-Publish, And Why You Should by David Gaughran; and HOW TO MARKET A BOOK by Joanna Penn. I know Joanna Penn's work; she's the author of many fiction and non-fiction books and blogs at thecreativepenn, so I snatched this deal just for her book, but I'm also really interested in reading Write, Publish, Repeat, and at $0.99 for all three this is a steal.

Writing the Heart of Your Story: The Secret to Crafting an Unforgettable Novel (The Writer's Toolbox Series) by C. S. Lakin.

C.S. Lakin is an author and a writing coach; I've appreciated (and recommended) many of her articles on her blog LiveWriteThrive, so I snatched her book up, too.

Writing a Killer Thriller: An Editor's Guide to Writing Compelling Fiction by Jodie Renner.

Jodie Renner is an editor offering advice on creating fast-paced, compelling fiction. I think editors, because they see so much work (both good and bad), and because they've trained in writing and editing, have a lot to offer writers that we can learn from. So I bought this book, too.

Mastering Showing and Telling in Your Fiction (Busy Writer's Guides Book 4) by Marcy Kennedy.

Even when we know writing technique and "rules," sometimes a refresher helps, or hearing it a different way. I liked the conversational tone to her book, so I bought this one, too.

Book Promotion

Book Marketing is Dead: Book Promotion Secrets You MUST Know BEFORE You Publish Your Book.

As published authors, we're expected to market our books. This book sounds like it may have some good advice and takes a different approach than some books and articles I've read, so I also bought it.

Goodreads For Authors: How To Use Goodreads To Promote Your Books

I know GoodReads can help readers find our books; I've used GoodReads for contests for ARCs and finished books, and I have my blog appear on GoodReads. I'm interested on reading what else authors can do.

How To Get Honest Reviews: 7 Proven Ways to Connect With Readers and Reviewers (Book Marketing Survival Guide Series 1) by Shelley Hitz and Heather Hart.

I don't have trouble getting reviews–I query book bloggers–but if you're just starting out, or if you haven't had to do this for yourself before, you may want to get this book. I may still pick it up myself because it looks like they have some things I haven't thought about before.

 I am honored to have two of my books–SCARS and STAINED–included under PTSD/Abuse & Assault in "Bibliotherapy for Teens: Helpful Tips and Recommended Fiction" by librarian Erin E Moulton on School Library Journal's site. Erin wrote a moving and insightful article on the need for fiction to help readers, and she put together a fantastic list of books librarians, teachers, and readers can turn to for various mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD especially from abuse and assault (and resulting in self-harm), dissociation, eating disorders, bi-polar, and more!

I used books to survive my own abuse and trauma as a child and teen–and I still use books to help me cope with the effects of trauma. So it always feels so good to hear from other readers and from librarians (and teachers) who recommend my books to others, or who read my books themselves and find them helpful. Thank you Erin for helping others find my books!

and really loving it. I've always written first drafts quickly, but I've never taken part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, where writers, pre-published and published, try to write a 50,000-word novel–or longer–in a month. I'm glad I'm taking part this year.

I'd forgotten the joy that comes from writing a first draft (I've been editing two other books I've written, lately). I love writing quickly. I think writing quickly is part of what gets me past the editor in me. While editing is necessary, I think it's best to come in during the second and further drafts.

I did plan out my book first (using The Anatomy of Story by John Truby, as I always do), so I know the direction I'm going, but I love discovering new things about my characters or a new plot twist or point as I write.

I'm writing about ten pages a day–by hand. I write (and edit) all my books by hand; it feels the most connected to my creativity and inner voice. I've been trying to cram writing this new book and then typing it up into each day, but I'm behind in typing it up (and trying to pace myself so I don't burn myself out). So my updates on how much I've written are about four or five days behind on NaNoWriMo. I'm glad people understand that some of us write by hand! (And all this while I'm sick–but I'm having fun!)

I am writing a YA paranormal fantasy set in my HUNTED world, about Gemma, a queer black telekenetic girl who has been sucked into all the anti-Para messages that are constantly being spewed at her–through school, her home and neighborhood, her community, and the media, the church, and the government. This is about a girl who starts out hating herself–because after all she IS a Para, and her own mother abandoned her because of it–but in the end she discovers she's stronger and better than she realizes. It's about a girl who's bought into the oppressive messages in society and is forced to unravel them. A girl who has the family and love she's always craved, but just hasn't seen it yet. A girl who, in the end, will have to save herself. It will be a stand-alone fantasy, but it will have some mentions of characters from HUNTED for those readers who loved HUNTED.

I'm happy to host Mary Amato, YA author of Get Happy, today–talking about divorce and writing about painful issues. Readers, if you'd like to win a signed copy of Get Happy, please leave a comment on this post. US and Canada only. (I'm two days late on posting this; I've been sick. My apologies!) Take it away, Mary!

One of the central issues of Get Happy is how divorce can affect a child. Minerva's father leaves when she is two, and she struggles with this throughout her childhood and into her teen years.

Divorce can be messy and the adults involved can sometimes fail to understand what the child needs. Minerva feels as if the subject is taboo and so she bottles up her questions and her emotions, which is the opposite of what she needs.

I know that my adult readers are not going to like the way the parents in this book behave. They aren't good role models by any means. They're flawed. They're human.

To me, it's important to write about all kinds of experiences because life is messy. Books can provide safe places to explore lots of different emotions.

 Author Bio:
 Mary Amato is an award-winning children's book author, songwriter, musician, puppeteer, and poet. She writes for children of all ages, and is beginning to focus on YA. Her first YA novel was Guitar Notes. Mary lives with her family outside Washington, DC, where she also performs regularly, singing and playing her own songs. Mary is a popular speaker and runs numerous workshops for teachers and students, including many on all aspects of creative writing, even songwriting. The author lives in Silver Spring, MD. You can visit her online at thrumsociety.

If you loved SCARS, I think you'll enjoy STAINED–and you may want to get it while it's deeply discounted. Right now STAINED is on sale for both Kindle and Nook for $1.99–until Oct 31st. I hope you grab yourself a copy.

In STAINED, Sarah think she knows what fear is–until she's abducted. Then she must find a way to save herself.

Like I did with SCARS, I drew on my own trauma and healing experience to write STAINED.

I hope you enjoy it! And if you enjoy it, or like this deal, I hope you'll let others know about it, too.

Dear Teen Me,

I know you have no safe place—not at home being abused, and not at school being bullied. You are an easy target: shy, scared, jumping at touch, not looking people in the eyes—the marks of someone who's been hurt. You're afraid all the time. You hate yourself instead of your abusers and tormentors. You cut to cope. You think about killing yourself. But you keep hanging in there. You're stronger than you know.

I know you think you're weak. All the terrible things that happen to you at home. The way you struggle to stand up to your own bullies. But do you remember that Spring day on the way home from school when those boys were running after a girl with coke-bottle glasses and ill-fitting clothes, hooting and hollering at her, calling her names, throwing things? Do you remember how you ran after them, shouting at them to leave her alone? How angry and protective you felt? And how when the boys turned and saw you they ran away?

Do you remember the look in the girl's eyes—the surprise and the relief that someone cared enough to stand up for her? Or how you walked her home even though it was out of your way just so she'd stay safe? And how you listened to all the horrible things she'd been through and told her she didn't deserve any of it? That wasn't weakness, Cheryl. That was strength. I am so very proud of you for standing up to those boys. For helping that girl find a small pocket of safety.

So what if you couldn't do that for yourself yet? You were still being abused at home. You had victim tortured into you. But still you stood up for others. And you did it over and over again—with that same girl on other walks home, with a girl being harassed by a drunk man on the streetcar, with another girl being sexually harassed, with children being hit by their parents. You tried to protect other kids and teens the way you needed to have someone protect you. You were brave, even though you didn't feel like you were.

I know you still feel ashamed for some of the bullying you endured, for the way you couldn't protect yourself. Like the time you were wearily leaning against your girlfriend's shoulder on the bus and the driver stopped the bus and told you to separate or you'd have to get off. You argued with him, but he was enraged and in authority, and you were too tired and scared so you pulled away from your girlfriend and sat there, feeling humiliated and ashamed and later angry at yourself, wishing you'd written down his number and reported him. Or like the boys in school who would poke you and then hoot and laugh when you jumped—over and over again. You were so angry and ashamed because you couldn't stop yourself from jumping, couldn't fight back. Or like the time that man said that he should have sex with you so you wouldn't be queer—suggesting rape would "fix" you. You froze when he and the other men laughed, fear gripping you, and it took you long moments to tell them that that wasn't okay. You still feel ashamed that you didn't stand up to them more strongly. To all your bullies. But you don't deserve that shame or the anger you turn on yourself. It belongs to the people who hurt you.

And you know what? You often did stand up for yourself, even though it felt like they won. Sometimes it's okay to not challenge too hard for your own safety. And the other times? Come on, you were a traumatized, bullied kid. Have more compassion for yourself. Yes, you wish you'd done more. Or that someone else had stood up for you. But it's time to let that go, and to recognize your own strength.
 I know you're hurting—so badly that you don't want to be here. That every day feels like another day you can't endure. But I'm glad you're here. You have a place in this world. Never forget that. And there are good people, even if you haven't met many of them yet. Just keep hanging on. You will find more and more people with love in their hearts instead of hate.

I want you to be proud of who you are. You're a survivor, a strong, gentle soul who doesn't hurt others even though most others hurt you. You have compassion and kindness for others even though you don't experience that yourself. And you will put even more goodness into the world with your writing. Yes, you will publish books! So be gentle with yourself. Let yourself love yourself, just a little. Let go of the hate and shame that aren't yours. And know that things will get better. You will find true friends, kindness, love. You will find hope. And one day you will be glad that you are here, making a difference in the world.

I pledge to speak out against bullying when I see it & try to make a positive difference in this world, always. #OneVoice

I love a good suspense book. Maybe because most of my life was so full of terror and pain; I can relate to the threats, and I love it when a good person wins out, and people who hurt others get justice. But I won't ever buy a John Grisham book.

Why? Because John Grisham said that people who watch and download child porn should not be jailed and that "current sentencing policies failed to draw a distinction between real-world abusers and those who downloaded content, accidentally or otherwise."

Wow. Excuse me while I take some deep breaths.

People who watch and download child porn are what drive the child-porn industry. Watching child porn is still exploitation. A child was abused and dehumanized to make that child porn that someone is sitting in their cozy house watching, getting off on. And suggesting that some men might download child porn by "mistake" or while drunk is excusing the behavior. It doesn't recognize the culture we live in that encourages rape and child exploitation. It's not thinking about the children that were used to create the child porn, the pain and trauma they endured. It's severely lacking in compassion for victims, for anyone who isn't an adult white male (John's friend who he was identifying with) and that worries me.

Have I mentioned that my parents made child porn using me and other children, to make money to help fund the cult they belong to? I was regularly raped, forced to engage in sexual acts, and dehumanized in some very humiliating, degrading, sickening scenarios, all while being filmed, for men (and women) who would pay for the videos or photos.

It left emotional scars, along with the other abuse and torture I endured, that stay with me today. While I have finally learned to be pretty okay with a camera (especially cell phone cameras that don't look like traditional cameras), for years I couldn't bear being photographed or filmed. I still get triggered into traumatic memories every time I have to do a TV interview or too many people ask to take my photo in a short period of time. And the child porn messed up my body image, my comfort with my own sexuality, and left me fearful, mistrusting, and hating my own body and sexuality. It also, along with all the other abuse, left me with many psychological effects, including severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, self-harm, wanting to die, and other effects.

The effects of child porn, abuse, rape, trauma, and exploitation is what I try to help others understand, on a gut and emotional level, through my books. I try to help people understand the severity of the effects, and also that healing is possible. I wish everyone who thought that child abuse or child porn was okay had to experience, just briefly through a good book, what it's actually like. Perhaps they wouldn't be so quick to encourage it to happen.

Child porn isn't okay. Watching it isn't okay. Making it isn't okay. And while I don't think people who watch, download, and/or buy child porn should get a higher sentence than people who create it, I do think there should be consequences. It's never okay to exploit children (or anyone else). It's never okay to use and harm others for your own pleasure.

So I will never buy a John Grisham book. I will never recommend his books to any of my friends. And I hope you will think twice about buying his books, or that you will consider donating to an organization that supports survivors, such as RAINN or your local rape crisis center, or an organization that fights child porn and child exploitation. We can make a healing, positive difference in this world. And it starts with compassion.

So many teens are bullied every year–and it affects their self-confidence, happiness, mental health, and overall wellness. Sometimes it takes lives. I was bullied as a teen, and between the bullying at school and the abuse at home I had no safe place. I wanted to die often. I think we need to keep talking about bullying and keep raising awareness so that people who are bullied get support, compassion, and safety; people who bully can get help to find out why they bully and hopefully stop hurting others; and bullying can end. I hope for a more compassionate world, and I see that happening (slowly).

I think talking about painful issues is part of what helps bring change, so I'm happy to be part of the #OneVoice Campaign through Entangled and Dear Teen Me, where all this month YA authors write a Dear Teen Me letter to their teen selves about the impact bullying had on them. (My post is on Oct 24th.) There are so many fantastic YA authors taking part in this; I hope you'll drop by EntangledTeen often this month and check out the wise, heartfelt, and powerful posts, and leave a comment for the authors. And if you believe that bullying should stop, please help spread the word using the hashtag #OneVoice.

Here is my pledge against bullying:

Artists, collectors and galleries are picking and choosing from the way things are done in the West
The museum remains closed to the public
In a new film, Uli Sigg reveals that he didn't necessarily like some of the contemporary art he bought
Perry's work is the first by a living foreign artist in the museum's collection
Beijing and Rotterdam shows celebrate the Dutchman who first chronicled China's contemporary art
Leading patrons, projects and organisations recognised in Hong Kong
The new museum joins a slew of others
The New York-based fund manager already owns 40 works by the artist from the 1970s onwards
Liu Guosong says that many ancient painters would break with conventions, which has inspired the veteran artist's experiments with brush, ink and paper since the 1960s
There's a lot of space to show new art in China today, but experienced curators to fill it and critics to assess their work are in short supply
Australia's museums are acquiring more contemporary Asian art but its private collectors blazed a trail to the region
With Lars Nittve at the helm of the West Kowloon flagship, the museum has got its bearings, a founding collection and big plans for the future
News analysis
Artists and galleries are seeing rents rise even in old factories and warehouses far from the centre
A Hong Kong- and Los Angeles-based video, installation and performance artist, Adrian Wong originally trained in research psychology and currently teaches sculpture and critical theory at the University of California
The media frenzy around the discovery of a massive and richly decorated tomb in Amphipolis, near Serres shows now signs of slowing down, especially since a skeleton was found at the site last week that is believe to be on of Alexander the Great's generals. To appease the insatiable archaeology fans, this weekend, Skai TV and the newspaper Kathimerini released a 3D animated tour of the tomb, showing the treasures archaeologists have uncovered so far: two sphinxes, two caryatids and an intricate floor mosaic.

Lady Gaga: The Queen of Facebookby Free Britney at . Comments
More and more people are going gaga for Lady Gaga ... online.
Buoyed by outrageous costumes and smash hits like "Bad Romance," "Just Dance," "Poker Face" and "Alejandro," she's become one of the biggest names in music.
And the biggest name on Facebook among all living beings.
Friday, she surpassed 10 million fans on the social networking site, eclipsing President Barack Obama for the top spot (Britney Spears has the most Twitter fans).
The possible alter ego of Jo Calderone is only #1 among the living, of course. According to USA Today, five entities have more Facebook fans than Lady Gaga:
- Michael Jackson
- Texas Hold 'em Poker
- Family Guy
- Mafia Wars
The rumored hermaphrodite told Rolling Stone that it's her fans who motivate her: "When I wake up in the morning, I feel like any other insecure 24-year-old."
"Then I say, 'You're Lady Gaga, get up and walk the walk today.'"
Amen. Follow this link to become a fan of THG on Facebook!
I thank you
THis girl i so fake ...shes not half s original as ppl say she is....
What?? "VegasheatX": Yes, our "troops are dying." As a Veteran, I'm fully aware of our troop's predicament. As a free citizen, I chose to be a fan of Lady Gaga. Again, there's a young girl named "Lady GaGa." She's from the U.S. She appears to be having the time of her life. You have a problem with that, then go become a citizen of Iraq.
"your Lady Gaga" what the hell does that mean? Do these people really believe all this crap? We have Our young troops dying in various overseas locales and She's "Lady Gaga" ? but than what the hell do I know?
Vin Diesel actually made the 10 million fan mark today, just so her little cretins know.

ACO-Bound? Consider the Financials First
Once established, an ACO enters into a contract with HHS that lasts at least three years to provide a continuum of care to patients that HHS assigns to it (not necessarily with the patients' knowledge or consent). To participate in the program, ACOs must have the following:
- A formal legal structure that would allow the organization to receive and distribute payments for shared savings … to participating providers of services and suppliers
- Enough primary-care providers to handle at least 5,000 patients
- A way of implementing "quality and other reporting requirements"
- A leadership and management structure that includes clinical and administrative systems
- Processes to promote evidence-based medicine and patient engagement, report on quality and cost measures, and coordinate care, such as through the use of telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and other such enabling technologies.
All of these elements but the second will potentially require a substantial investment.
The goal of ACOs is to improve quality of care and drive down costs by providing an incentive (through shared savings) for better patient outcomes and lower expenditures (for example, by lessening the need for intensive care). Rather than being paid on the number of medical services provided, physicians, hospitals, and practitioners in ACOs have the opportunity to be paid, in part, at the end of each ACO contract year for keeping patients healthy, based on comparing current costs with per-beneficiary Medicare expenditures over the past three years. But the feasibility of creating or entering into an ACO depends on regulations that are due to be released this January, covering the following points:
- What are the required performance standards?
- What is their benchmark and how will they be measured?
- What configurations of ACOs are permissible other than those described in Section 1899?
- What are the reporting requirements?
- What is the basis of comparison used to determine cost savings?
- How much savings are required before savings are shared?
ACOs will require up-front costs. Among the most obvious is intellectual technology that will report and store data. Since all providers in an ACO will be jointly accountable for quality and cost measures, IT will have to be compatible for multiple providers in order to allow them to share information. The IT costs may be high enough to weed out small physician groups and solo practitioners from considering joining an ACO. And the up-front costs may be bigger than expected. Most early clinically integrated networks, which are precursors to ACOs, took longer than was anticipated to put in place and had greater than expected start-up cost and staff requirements. Recently organized physician groups may also lack the history needed for benchmarking costs that would be required for an ACO.
