Victory for Turkish house church amid anti-Christian hostility
Country/Region: Turkey
A house church in Turkey has finally been granted legal status after a long battle with the authorities in a case that highlights the ongoing difficulties for Turkish Christians regarding places of worship.
Turkish Christians face difficulties in finding places to worship
The Protestant group in the eastern province of Van has been meeting in a two-storey house for seven years, during which time it has made frequent attempts to obtain a licence for the building to be recognised as a place of worship.
Despite finally granting the churchs request, the authorities appear to remain hostile to it. Christians in Turkey are viewed with widespread prejudice and suspicion; they are traditionally associated with the West and are thus considered disloyal to the state. Islam is seen as a major part of Turkish identity.
Following the churchs official opening, Mustafa Bilici, a Van deputy from the ruling Justice and Development Party, said:
It is great heedlessness to open new churches in Muslim societies that are acting as stooges for Zionist activities.
Vahit Yildiz, one of the church elders, said that the congregations only desire was to worship freely, but that the authorities viewed them as a threat:
They see us as persons who deceive people and who have a secret agenda... The quintessential reason behind the fear is the ... rhetoric employed by some of [the countrys] leaders, which deeply saddens us, besides the prejudices formed by the public.
Threats and violence
Anti-Christian hostility in Turkey sometimes boils over into threats and acts of violence; six Christians have been martyred in recent years, while converts from Islam are especially vulnerable to harassment. Christian buildings have also been attacked.
Mr Yildiz said:
The way is being paved for similar attacks as long as the true perpetrators remain unexposed and judiciary penalties are not applied.
He said that because of such incidents, his church was being very careful, while other Christians in the east (where some of the more high-profile attacks have taken place) would continue meeting in house churches unless measures were taken to protect them from threats and violence.
Despite Turkeys long Christian heritage, dating back to Biblical times, it is now overwhelmingly Muslim, and Islamism is growing in strength. As part of its preparation for EU entry, Turkey promised to liberalise laws restricting non-Islamic religions, but Christians, who comprise only around 0.1 per cent of the population, continue to face endless obstructions.
They face particular difficulty in opening, maintaining and operating places of worship. Religious services may take place only in locations designated by the government, and landlords are reluctant to rent private property to churches for fear of harassment by the police. Consequently, many congregations meet "underground" in peoples homes.
Mr Yildiz said:
Due to a lack of sufficient church buildings and [the authorities refusal] to grant a Religious Designation License, there are over 100 house groups and rented places of worship all across Turkey.

text: Fast-Food Workers: 5 Ways They've Suffered—and How They're Fighting Back The industry collects billions, but even full-time workers aren't earning a livable wage. December 07, 2012 Andri Antoniades Fast-Food Degradation This week New York fast-food workers from a handful of different chains united to strike against unfair working conditions. Referencing their minimum-wage pay, they shouted, "We can't survive on $7.25!" As strikingly low as that number may be, it only represents a fraction of difficulties employees face working for corporations like McDonald's and Wendy's. While some claim that it's the workers' fault—for not being educated enough to qualify for other jobs, or for not being grateful enough that they have employment—there's ample evidence that supports the contrary. Fast-food chains largely escape any consequence for exploiting workers because they're dealing with a group of people who essentially have no legal recourse. The public is subsidizing that exploitation and the government isn't hindering it. But it now seems that the whole cynical system will come crashing down sooner rather than later. Photo: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Full-Time Still Equals Food Stamps Fast-food workers usually make the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. But that's worth even less than you might think: A recent report from the National Employment Law Project found that today's minimum wage is effectively 30 percent less valuable than it was in 1968. New York pays a slightly higher average of $9 per hour, but that amounts to an annual salary of only $18,500 for full-time workers. In other states, that number can dip as low as $11,000. Unable to make ends meet on wages from companies like McDonald's, many fast-food workers are forced to turn to state and federal government to bridge the gap via food stamps, welfare and other social programs. Photo: Holly Harris/Getty Images Health Insurance In November, pizza chain Papa John's came under fire when owner John Schnatter complained during a college lecture about the effects of Obamacare; Schnatter balked that the plan's new rules would force the company to insure 16,500 more employees. He was quoted as saying franchise owners would probably cut those employees' hours down to part-time to escape having to provide medical insurance for them. After a media backlash, Schnatter claimed his quotes were "taken out of context." But the pizza chain is hardly unique in its reluctance to extend benefits to employees. University of Pennsylvania sociologist Robin Leidner told Salon that fast-food coporations regularly skirt legal issues by making the majority of their employees part-time: "No one gets enough hours to trigger the legal protections, and to make them eligible for any health benefits…You can't earn enough with one job, but given the unpredictability, it's extremely hard to hold down more than one." Photo: Papa John's Facebook Smile With Your Eyes, Damn It According to Robin Leider, author of Fast Food, Fast Nation, fast-food workers are "heavily surveilled." From the cash registers that track how quickly they're making sales to corporate headquarters that are constantly dissecting store analytics to bump up revenue, little of the day-to-day operation escapes scrutiny. Even employees' facial expressions are monitored and controlled. Authors Tony Royle and Brian Towers write in their book, Labor Relations in the Global Fast Food Industry, that workers' personal interactions with customers are highly scripted, down to the delivery of specific lines and facial expressions. Between the constant scrutiny, the low pay, and menus that are often blamed for our nation's obesity epidemic, it's no wonder that in a survey of 30,000 employees from all industries, more than 42 percent of fast-food workers said, "My job makes the world a worse place." Photo: John Sullivan/Getty Images Unionization Has Been Rendered A Near Impossibility Fast-food workers in New York City have staged two historic strikes during the past week. What made them so historic? They've never happened before. If there's any group of employees with something to strike against—and in need of a union—it's fast-food workers. But the New York Times reports that the reason it's so difficult for fast-food workers to organize is simple: high job turnover. Ruth Milkman, a sociology professor at the City University of New York reports, "...by the time you get around to organizing folks, they're not on the job anymore." Photo: John Sullivan/Getty Images The Answers Aren't Answers at All "If you don't like it, leave" is the oft-given reply to worker complaints. But it's hardly that simple. Considering that 2012 saw a continuation of some of the worst unemployment rates in decades, there's rarely anywhere else to go. Additionally, fast-food jobs are no longer the domain of high-school kids. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the average age of industry workers is 28, and for women in particular, it's 32. Annette Bernhardt, policy codirector for the National Employment Law Project, explained to The Atlantic, "Increasingly working families are depending on this industry, and unless we confront the serious problem of low wages in the fast food industry, we're not going to solve the job quality problem for the labor market as a whole." With about seven out of 10 growth occupations over the next decade expected to be in low-wage fields, there are few opportunities for workers to break the cycle of "working poor." On the other hand, McDonald's saw its profits increase 130-percent over the last four fiscal years. With its army of workers earning little money and even less in benefits, it's easy to see why.

Safety agency dismissed GM ignition defects
Federal safety regulators received more than 260 complaints over the past 11 years about General Motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven, but they repeatedly responded that there was not enough evidence of a problem to warrant an investigation.
The New York Times
Federal safety regulators received more than 260 complaints over the past 11 years about General Motors vehicles that suddenly turned off while being driven, but they declined to investigate the problem, which GM now says is linked to 13 deaths and requires the recall of more than 1.6 million cars worldwide.
A New York Times analysis of consumer complaints submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that since February 2003 it received an average of two complaints a month about potentially dangerous shutdowns, but it repeatedly responded that there was not enough evidence of a problem to warrant a safety investigation.
The complaints — the most recent of which was filed Thursday — involved six GM models that the automaker is now recalling because of defective ignition switches that can shut off engines and power systems and disable air bags. GM said the first recall notices were mailed Friday to the owners of the vehicles.
Many of the complaints detailed frightening scenes in which moving cars suddenly stalled at high speeds, on highways, in the middle of city traffic, and while crossing railroad tracks. A number of the complaints warned of catastrophic consequences if something was not done.
To the mounting complaints, the safety agency sometimes responded with polite but formulaic letters similar to one it sent in December 2010 to Barney Frank, then a congressman from Massachusetts, who had written on behalf of a distraught constituent whose 2006 Cobalt kept stalling. In the letter to Frank, the agency said it had reviewed its database of complaints to determine if a "safety defect trend" existed. "At this time, there is insufficient evidence to warrant opening a safety defect investigation," the letter concluded.
Failure to recognize a pattern in individual complaints has been a problem for the safety agency before. In the late 1990s, it was criticized for failing to detect a wave of highway rollovers in Ford Explorers with Firestone tires, a problem that was eventually linked to 271 deaths.
The safety agency has repeatedly suggested that it failed to act over the years because of a lack of a critical mass of evidence that suggested a problem beyond isolated incidents.
By the time the agency wrote to Frank in 2010, it had received more than 170 complaints.

Boylan rally falls short; Falcons upset Titans
By Matt Nestor
Sports Columnist
The Boylan Titans were close in their IHSA Class 7A playoff game against Wheaton North.
Close to winning. Close to a first down. Close to the sidelines as time wound down.
But a third-down pass to Zack Smith at the Falcons' 17-yard line came up just short of the first down and the sidelines, as did a fourth-down heave as time expired, which allowed Wheaton North to hold on for the 17-13 upset in the first-round game.
"You're hoping to get a break," Boylan coach Dan Appino said. "You're hoping somebody slips in coverage. It just didn't happen. We always think we've got a chance. We just needed about 25 more seconds."
What set up the final seconds was a beautifully-executed pass that led to a 25-yard touchdown pass from Falcons quarterback Reece Butler to Richard Finley for the game-winning touchdown.
"I didn't see it," Wheaton North coach Jay Wardynski said. "I was talking to the defense on the bench, and I didn't even see it. I'll be looking forward to watching it on tape and seeing what they ran, because I don't even know what play we ran."
Throughout the game, the Titans allowed little running room for Wheaton North's running backs. So, with a lot of third-and-longs, the Falcons repeatedly went to an out pattern to their receivers.
On the touchdown, Finley faked the out pattern and went up the field. The defender bit on the fake, the timing of Butler's throw down the field was perfect, and Finley walked in for the score.
"They were throwing some controlled outs," Appino said. "That's a tough throw in the wind. One of the times our corner tried to jump it, and they did an out and up on it. They executed really well."
Boylan led twice during the back-and-forth game. Steve Thomas scored two rushing touchdowns, including a 4-yard run late in the third quarter to take a 13-10 lead. Thomas had 94 total yard in the game.
"We came out, gave it our all, and never quit," Boylan quarterback Michael Morman said. "That's the thing with this team. Every time we got down, we got right back up, and somebody made a play."
Morman led the Titans with 62 rushing yards and also threw for 163 yards. Butler threw for 129 yards.
But the star of the day was the Falcons' defense for their last-second stand. Butler said if it wasn't for the defense, which caused three timely turnovers, his team wouldn't have stood a chance for the upset.
"You can't say how big it was," Butler said. "They made big stops the whole game, and then got the biggest stop in the last seconds of the game."

When I'm making good progress, alot more of the hours go to actual programming work.
When I'm not making progress, alot more of the hours go to browsing GameDev and helping newer programmers. You can chart the progress of my game by watching how fast my GameDev rating rises - huge increases in rating indicates slow progress of my project.

Free Will at SPSP in Tampa
Do human beings have free will? Or is every human action the inevitable result of prior events and external causes? Or both?
At SPSP in Tampa this past February, they keynote session was devoted to a debate between me and John Bargh regarding these questions. In this post, I wish to cover the key points that I sought to make. Another post will summarize my reactions to the event.
I actually have not yet formed a clear opinion on the philosophical questions of whether free will is compatible with determinism and, if the two are not compatible, which of them (if either) is correct. Many of the arguments seem to boil down to definitions and semantics.
Instead, my goal has been to understand the psychological reality and processes that are associated with the idea of free will. It seems to me that free will is important to study and understand, regardless of whether you believe in it. There are vitally important phenomena involved that psychology cannot afford to ignore.
Humans evolved from other animals and continue to be animals. Yet we are different in some obvious ways. Most notably, we create and sustain culture, to an extent that is far beyond what even the most cultural of other animals have achieved. We have language, technology, science, morality, religion, legal systems, schools and universities, democratic governments, news media, and more.

Publishers Weekly12/16/2013
Sociologist Rose takes an innovative approach to children's eating; her premise is that the more parents focus on nutrition, the less healthfully kids eat. The mother of a 12-year-old daughter, Rose points out that most American children eat poorly in spite—or perhaps because of—what she calls the "nutrition mindset" of many parents. "Agony" over nutrition, she asserts, can lead to overeating, picky or junky eating, and stress. Rose presents a thoughtfully crafted plan (the Teaching Approach) to form basic habits that focus on proportion, variety, and moderation. She helps parents identify their own eating hang ups when it comes to feeding their children (i.e. nurturer, food police, nutritionista) and then provides methods of helping children establish habits they can carry into adulthood. "The Big Fix," for instance, calls for "Eating Zones" (times when eating takes place), "The Rotation Rule" (no food served two days in a row with the exception of milk), and giving children choices. Rose walks readers through her Teaching Approach step-by-step, using scenarios that illustrate issues and hands-on solutions. Creative and clever, Rose comes to the table with a fresh perspective and a practical plan for teaching kids lifelong healthy eating habits. Agent: Betsy Amster, Betsy Amster Literary Enterprises.

The Grove is a challenging space to play in, and seating is uncomfortable since dinner tables are set up so that you end up sitting perpendicular to the stage. Certainly you can move your chair, but if it's a full house, it is hard to maneuver so that you are not blocking people.Shawn Colvin & Steve Earle: Songs & Stories, Together On Stage info • Jul 14 2014 star this tip starred

One of the most spectacular dance programs I've ever attended. Incredible performances by amazing dancers. I went from gasps to tears to cheers. At times I had to remind myself to breathe. I hope they continue doing this for years to come. It was fabulous!

Home News Local News LA GRANDE CHIEF READIES CUT LIST
By Dick Mason
Observer Staff Writer
The La Grande School District is preparing to make between $250,000 and $300,000 in budget cuts that will take effect by late January.
A total of three to four teaching and non-teaching positions will be cut, said La Grande School District Superintendent Jay Rowell.
Most of the cuts will involve full-time positions. In addition, non-personnel items in the budget will be trimmed.
The reduction is necessary because of reduced state funding brought on by the slumping economy. The economic slowdown has reduced the amount of income tax revenue the state is receiving.
Rowell will present a plan for proposed cuts to the school board on Wednesday. Rowell will talk to the board in executive session because his plan will involve personnel cuts. Executive sessions are closed to the public.
After receiving board input Rowell will meet Thursday with the staff members who will be affected. No board action is necessary for the cuts to be made.
The reductions that are not related to personnel will take effect immediately. The personnel reductions will not take effect completely until late January because of contracts, Rowell said.
"This is tough. I wish I did not have to do it,'' Rowell said.
Unfortunately there are two other dark clouds on the La Grande School District's financial horizon. Earlier this month the state announced a $111 million shortfall in the revenue forecast for the remainder of the 2001-2003 biennium. If the state makes across-the-board cuts to handle this shortfall, the La Grande School District's share of these cuts will be about $200,000. This reduction would have to be made for the current school year.
The 2003 Legislature will probably vote in January on how to handle the cuts necessary because of the shortfall, Rowell said.
The La Grande School District's financial picture is further clouded by the proposed state income tax surcharge that voters will decide on in January. Failure of the surcharge would cost the La Grande School District about $400,000 for this academic year.

A man allegedly went on a shooting rampage through Saugus, killing an adult gift store clerk and wounding two others before he turned the gun on himself, deputies said Sunday…
Store security tapes show the man returning to the shop 20 minutes after he first shot the clerk and fired another rifle round into 24-year-old clerk Christopher Simons face, said sheriff's Sgt. Deborah Miller.
Simons died on the scene and the suspected shooter, 25-year-old Robert Wheeler was hospitalized on Sunday in critical condition while two of the gunshot victims were in good condition.
Wheeler called 911 from a pay phone Saturday night and admitted to murdering the Santa Clarita Gifts clerk. As deputies arrived, Wheeler shot himself in the head.

|Product & services pricing
|Chance of future purchase:
|Shipping & packaging:
|Customer service:
|Return/Replacement policy:
Customer service is confusing at best a impossible and infuriating at worst.
I have made 2 purchases to Battdepot, the first was less than a year ago, the second a little over a month ago.
The first purchase was for a battery and charger for my laptop. Everything was flawless, it still works today, and I received it very quickly.
The second purchase was for another charger of the same kind, I was ordering it for my boyfriend who has the same laptop as mine. This is where the problem starts.
Less than a month after getting the new charger it stopped working, the light on the A/C box lit up, but it did nothing when connected to a laptop. I tested it on both laptops (that are the same), wait half a day or so, tested it again (on both), no charge. Used a multi-meter to test the connection, tried it with many different wall outlets, made sure it didn't work at all. (Note the charger had no visible deformities and the other charger bought from BattDepot works fine on both laptops)
I went through the confusing process of the RMA form to get an exchange. Paid shipping to send it back and received the following, confusing and poorly written, reply:
"Thank you for contacting BattDepot.
Regarding to the RMA# ------ , our technician did a full detail test on your return power adapter on OCT 29, 2014 and find no issues/problems of this adapter. It can start and power up the laptop and charge battery normally. If the adapter cannot be charged from the laptop, it must be the part of your laptop is out of order or charging circuit on the mother board of the laptop is not working properly and need attention. Therefore, we would like us to ship this adapter back to you.
Please update us your preference and we will follow up accordingly. Thank you.
"...we would like us to ship this adapter back to you."
What do you mean by that? Do they pay for the $15 shipping or do I have to shell out more of my food money to receive a broken item?
"...preference ..."
Are they asking whether I want a broken cord back? Are they asking me to play the exchange game? With their idiotic 15% re-shelving fee?
I am confused by this and an unhappy customer.
UPDATE: The charger was returned to me, at no charge to me because I asked for it, and it STILL does NOT work on either laptop.
I am still an unhappy customer.
"Buyer Beware!!! I would recommend this store to my worse enemy. Customer service is horrible. Sent me a faulty battery for my net book. Now I have to pay to send it back with no guarantees of getting a battery that works. In my opinion very unprofessional and lots of fine print just waiting to cover themselves when they don't give you something that works."
"BattDepot sent me a mobile phone battery that rendered my phone dysfunctional. When I followed they're, convoluted, return policy I was sent these exact words, "... please note our replacement battery have never caused a cell phone to to malfunction in almost countless amount of cellphone that we have sold."
So far, BattDepot has not offered, any, form of compensation."
"i have paid 34.00 for my battery the number of battery is as10d51 4400mah 48wh and receivve a as10d41 4200mah with wh not specified annonced at 18.00 at battery depot cheap cheap bat battery depot =thieft never buy again liard"
"BUYER BEWARE!! I wish I had read these reviews before doing business with this terrible company. They have their business set up so that they are never out of pocket. I purchased a laptop battery that would only half charge. I sent it back for an exchange at my expense. They pushed me to get a refund instead of an exchange and the reason for this is that if they issue a refund for the part, they are not out any money but I am out 2 x the cost of shipping. I forced them to send a new battery (which actually worked, although they didn't test it properly as promised) and this way, they were out shipping costs too. Never go for the refund, force them to send a new item at their expense (but I wouldn't recommend shopping from them in the first place). Terrible customer service and terrible business practices. "
"Would recommend not doing business with this company. Would not allow exchange of perfectly good part for another part."
"Ordered a battery for my macbook pro. The power cable was too short and the connector fell apart in my hands. I had to take several photos to avoid paying a restock fee and had to pay for the shipping to send it back. So all in all it took about $100... they only reimbursed me for $58 (the battery without shipping was $64) and they never bothered to email me to let me know they had received the battery and would be giving me a refund, I wanted them to send me a new, proper one."
"Their website is deceiving. They do not inventory the adapters they show on the website, and their customer service is intentionally convoluted and confusing. After sending back the adapter, (which was the wrong model they sent), I still never received any money back, and I had to pay to return it. I would never purchase anything from them, and I would warn others not to as well."
"Battdepot.com sold me a laptop battery that (tested defective by their technician).
Battdepot.com refused not refund the $10 they charged me to ship me a "defective battery", and refused refund the $19.95 to ship their "defective battery" back to them.
BattDepot.com refused to send me a working battery and took 2 months to refund me just the cost of the battery.
Over 3 months I have lost $29.95 on shipping a defective battery back and forth, and I still do not have a working battery from Battdepot.com."
"Amazing!. Henry's Photo would charge me $139.00 CDN for a Power G5 replacement battery. BattDepot charged $7.00 for a generic one. It works fine, was at my door in 24 hrs after order.
Way to go ... BattDepot rocks"
"Ordered a Replacement Cell Phone Battery for Samsung GALAXY S3 (2300 mAh) It was worse than the battery I was replacing. Sent it back and the next one was just as bad. These batteries are expensive garbage!"
"Battery is a piece of junk, will not fully discharge, gets to about 60% and then forces PC to power down with absolutely no warning. "
"This is one of the worst companies out there. Their return policy is so restrictive, you will never get your money back."
"They were great to deal with and I would purchase from them again, as I saved money as well."
"Terrible - I left multiple messages on a returned item (I ordered a second time and they got the order correct. I have yet to get a refund on the item though UPS shows it being sent back. I have left 4 messages and not gotten a return response. My credit card company refunded me as I put over $500k a year on my card and have NEVER had to initiate a chargeback - they said it was not worth my hassle. They will be following up and since I assume I will not hear back from them, I am having someone draw up a complaint to the BBB and I am going to ask for penalties. The last phone converstion (today) was recorded and I informed them so. I usually check reviews but since this was just a little over $100, I did not bother. "

Improving quality in Pakistan would also be a huge breakthrough. In rural areas many primary schools lack sufficient classrooms to provide a proper five year cycle: In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, for example, more than half of the schools do not contain the requisite 5 classrooms (one per grade). If you were a parent, would you send your children to school, and keep them there, if school conditions meant that your children were unlikely to learn the basics?
At Sightsavers we have used UK aid in recent years to screen 40 million people for potential sight problems, provide 1.2 million people with sight-restoring surgery, and protect 75 million people from neglected tropical diseases such as trachoma. On a larger scale, every year the UK aid budget educates more children than live in the whole of the UK...
Who said children don't vote? Well, they don't cast their votes by standing in long lines and on ballet papers, but they cast their votes from under-funded relief camps and feeding centres and ill equipped schools and hospitals. Every hungry child is a vote of non-confidence on humanity. I hope the donors don't ignore them.
UKIP and our right wing press draw emotive comparisons between our foreign aid budget and cuts to services and budgets to be spent on home shores. They appeal to the witless nationalist tendencies amongst much of the British public, claiming that slashing spending on foreign aid could reduce cuts to services in the UK.
The world over, we are seeing ever more cases of extreme weather, from the recent floods in the UK to wild fires in Australia. With each incident comes the familiar assurances that - this time - the necessary action will be taken to make sure there is no repeat. The reality is we have no choice, as every country faces the fact that climate change - and its impact on the weather - is no longer a distant prediction, but a daily reality. And for the poorest people on the planet, the need to change is not just a matter of saving money, but saving lives.
For those who do manage to reach health facilities, actual care often remains elusive because of cost. In Khost, in the east of the country, and in the capital, Kabul, roughly half the people surveyed by MSF borrowed money or sold what they could to pay for medicines or doctors' fees during a recent illness. Several sought care in neighbouring Pakistan.
Mohammed, a teacher from Syria who lives in Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, is participating in the Education for All Global Monitoring Report's #TeacherTuesday campaign. His daily struggle to help Syrian refugee children underlines the need to support teachers in difficult situations - and to make education a more central part of humanitarian efforts in conflict zones.
Three years ago, the world watched in shock as Syria slowly descended into bitter conflict. Once thriving communities have been utterly destroyed. Nine million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance, with their future looking perilous and uncertain. The scale of the humanitarian crisis which results from a conflict of this kind can be overwhelming. But we cannot let ourselves forget its human face.
Multidimensional poverty, as participatory work of late has shown, includes poor health, lack of education, inadequate living standards, environmental degradation, lack of income, gender discrimination, poor quality of work and violence. Ending $1.25/day poverty is unlikely to mean the end of these many overlapping disadvantages.
Poverty has always been with humanity - even Jesus said that the poor would always be with us. Yet while nothing short of a miracle would have made poverty eradication possible 2,000 years ago - neither emperors nor kings had the knowledge or resources to do it - today, we have what it takes to tackle poverty.

HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- The base is partnering with MassRIDES and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to offer a new commuter program called NuRide. The advantage of this program is that it offers rewards.
"We're excited about this new program," said Greg Cravedi, environmental specialist in the Environmental Management Office. "We want to provide as many options as possible to commuters at Hanscom and the fact that this program offers rewards should be enticing to a lot of people."
NuRide is the nation's largest commuter awards program, according to a fact sheet from MassRIDES. Its purpose is to encourage healthier and more sustainable modes of travel while reducing traffic and emissions throughout the state.
The program, which is free and available online at www.commute.com/NuRide, is available to anyone who lives or works in Massachusetts. It allows users to earn points for traveling on public transportation, biking, walking, carpooling or even telecommuting.
Participants can redeem points for rewards such as restaurant coupons or discounts at local and national retailers. In addition, participants may choose to allow the online program to track financial and environmental savings.
Another feature of NuRide is the ability for participants to find someone to carpool with. The website allows users to join or start a carpool by finding others who are traveling in the same direction.
As with other commuter programs already available at Hanscom, NuRide incorporates the Emergency Ride Home program for those who qualify and pre-enroll in ERH. MassRIDES will reimburse taxi or rental car fees up to four times per year to those who have an emergency and need to leave work. To register for ERH, visit www.massrides.com and click on Emergency Ride Home.
"We hope a lot of people take advantage of NuRide," said Mr. Cravedi. "Carpooling or using other methods to commute not only reduces the number of vehicles on the road during morning and evening rush hours, but it also helps the environment."
For further information about commuting options at Hanscom, visit ESC CenterNet and select the Commuter eBoard option under Quicklinks or call the Transportation Demand Management Program at 781-377-7950 or 781-377-2904.

The U.S. Senate approved a resolution Tuesday evening rebuking Russia for sending military forces to Ukraine.
The legislation introduced by Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Dan Coats, R-Ind., was passed by unanimous consent without debate or a roll-call vote.
"The passage of this resolution shows that there is strong, bipartisan support for isolating and punishing Russia," Coats said in a statement. "While only a first step, this resolution sends a message to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin that invading your neighbors and behaving like a bully on the playground is unacceptable."
The Durbin-Coats resolution would, among other things, demand that that Russia remove its forces from Ukraine, urge President Barack Obama to impose economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia, propose that the Group of Eight countries and NATO suspend Russia's representation in the two bodies, call for an international observer mission in Crimea and other parts of Ukraine and ask that international soccer's governing body reconsider its decision to place World Cup matches in Russia in 2018.
The resolution also would bolster Ukraine's efforts to link more closely with Europe and offer economic assistance, including loan guarantees, to the country.

Politicians and pundits are again lamenting the latest slaughter in Colorado, where a dozen moviegoers were murdered by a troubled young man who had no trouble buying an assault rifle and other guns. But the horror will be transient while the NRA's clout has permanence, write Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Tag Archive for Bill Moyers
Angry Money v. Democracy
A handful of "angry, old, white men" are on their way to buying the American elections, says Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. But Republicans in Congress are making sure those identities stay secret by killing a bill that would at least require disclosure, write Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
How Banksters Rig the System
The Libor scandal is just the latest revelation of how the VIPs of high finance rig the system for themselves and their friends while millions of "common people" are driven into poverty. But the fix is also in when it comes to buying political protection, write Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Buying What's Left of Democracy
Under the cloak of "free speech," rich Americans — especially on the Right — are buying what's left of U.S. "democracy" and doing much of it in secret, insisting their sponsorship of TV attack ads be hidden. Some of their handmaidens even boast about their impending victories, note Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Super PACs Give Status to the Rich
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's recall victory was a glimpse into the future of American "democracy," as billionaires showered him with Super PAC gifts like they might a favorite new mistress, a concern addressed by Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Pity the Poor Billionaires
Billionaires, who are in the process of buying elections across the United States, want to carry out these "investments" in secret. They bristle at demands for disclosure and say listing their names and business interests may open them to public criticism, Bill Moyers and Michael Winship report.
Honoring Troops with the Truth
America is awash in media detailing the lives of celebrities and the latest turns in political polls, but rarely addressing the painful questions about the dark side of U.S. foreign policy, a topic that Bill Moyers and Michael Winship say should be confronted this Memorial Day.
Joe McCarthy's Ghost Slithers Again
Right-wing paranoia knows no bounds, as propagandists stoke dark fantasies about President Obama that revive memories of "black helicopters" from the 1990s. But Tea Party favorite, Rep. Allen West reaches back even further to the days of Joe McCarthy, as Bill Moyers and Michael Winship explain.
Will Big Bird Reject Attack Ads?
A federal appeals court has extended the Citizens United "logic" into the realm of public television, opening the door to cluttering up those stations with campaign attack ads like the rest of TV, an ominous development to Bill Moyers and Michael Winship.
Some Ultra-Rich Abandon Obama
Some of the ultra-rich who backed Barack Obama in 2008 are switching to Mitt Romney in 2012 because the President has called for closing tax loopholes that allow hedge-fund and private-equity billionaires to pay lower tax rates than working stiffs, Bill Moyers and Michael Winship write.

When it comes to commercial aquaculture, a lot of people have some legitimate concerns – fish farms can introduce antibiotics, anti-algal chemicals and concentrated fish waste into the ocean; escaped fish can upset the local ecological balance; and wild fish still need to be caught in large numbers, as a food source for some species of farmed fish. While there have been recent efforts to address the first two concerns, the fish-in-the-fish-food problem is now being taken on in two different research projects. These are aimed at replacing the fish content in fish feed with more sustainable ingredients. Read More

Elmira Heights, ...
I stole this DKNY knit fabric from my mom's stash over winter break and am just now getting photos of the dress. I used Simplicity 2865 again, drafting a bateau neckline and hemming it quite a bit shorter. Instead of adding fabric ties like my other version, I just wear it with a belt.
The longest step in making this dress was undoubtedly laying the fabric out so the front and back pieces would be symmetrical. I think the effort was worth it though, don't you?

Bill Barry: Focusing on mental illness is a practical gun control measure
Fundamentally, gun violence stems from the most dangerous people in America having easy access to guns, a small number of whom are capable of horrendous acts due to severe mental illness. We know that federal law seeks to prevent those who have been adjudicated by the courts from passing a background check. This happens through a process that includes courts, judges and due process. It's a high bar because we need to strike a balance that is careful not to stigmatize the vast majority of Americans living with mental illness who pose no threat to public safety.
A bill making its way through the Legislature, co-sponsored by Manchester Rep. Jeff Goley, a firefighter and fellow gun owner, could change that. Senate Bill 244 would require the state to submit a list of names of people who already cannot possess a gun under this federal law to the NICS instant background check system. This is an extremely balanced approach to preventing gun violence. It protects the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens who have obtained their firearms through legal means.
In July, I was proud to join fellow members of law enforcement from throughout the state, along with former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and her husband, Captain Mark Kelly, to call on our elected leaders to work hard to find common sense solutions to preventing gun violence.
In my career, I've apprehended more than 1,500 criminals, and I've seen the devastating effects of gun violence — so much of it painfully preventable.
All it does is keep us all safer.
I hope our legislative leaders will take action and join us in the work we do to keep our communities safer by voting for common-sense solutions, like SB 244.

Paris, France
It's a variation on the bow-dress on the 2012 July Burda's Bow dress. I changed the bow for a lace cowl, reduced by 1cm large the front and the back, added two darts of 3cm large in the back on the waist line. The completions are made of bias in the colour of the down fabric (violet).
Fabrics are red and violet linen; the lace is dark blue.
