Study Calls for Vouchers for Learning Disabled Students
PHOENIX-In a study released today by the Goldwater Institute, Children First America vice president Matthew Ladner finds evidence of pervasive racial bias by public school districts in the labeling of children as "learning disabled." By mislabeling children as disabled, Ladner writes, "The erring districts may seriously damage children's self-images and confidence in their own capabilities-perhaps permanently."
In Arizona, predominantly White districts label substantially higher percentages of minority students as disabled when compared to predominantly minority districts:
- Disability rates for Hispanic students are 48 percent higher
- Disability rates for African-American students are 29 percent higher
- Predominantly White districts label 34 percent fewer White students as disabled
A growing body of nationwide evidence corroborates Ladner's findings. While the number of clinically disabled students in the U.S. has remained nearly constant since 1976, the number of students classified as "learning disabled" has tripled. Research also shows an estimated 10 percent of Arizona's disability cases, more than 8,000 students, may have been mislabeled by school districts attempting to qualify for increased funding under a "bounty-style" special education funding formula-a formula repudiated by Congress in 1997 and by 16 states. Ladner argues that as much as 70 percent of "learning disabled" students actually suffer from "teaching deficiency," a condition that can be prevented through rigorous early reading instruction.
In Arizona, 1,170 disabled students currently attend private schools at public expense to get the education they need. But private school placement is only accessible if a district agrees to it, or parents can afford to hire an attorney and successfully sue a district to allow the private school option. Ladner argues that this is not enough: "The choices of parents, not the caprice of districts, should determine the supply of school spaces for disabled children." Ladner concludes that Arizona should adopt a statewide voucher system for special education modeled after Florida's McKay Scholarship Program. The vouchers would:
- Provide immediate help to more than 87,000 disabled students by giving their parents the opportunity to choose the best possible school for their children;
- Be at least revenue neutral, like the McKay Scholarship Program; and,
- Save the state an estimated $50 million each year by reducing the incidence of mislabeling.

The Barton Doctrine: Gatekeeper for Actions Against Trustee and Counsel
by Steven R. Skirvin
Dion-Kindem & Crockett; Woodland Hills, Calif.
For trustees, and those of us who represent trustees, the Barton Doctrine is an especially helpful rule that provides a measure of protection from lawsuits while in the performance of our duties. The Barton Doctrine was a creation from common law by the U.S. Supreme Court in Barton v. Barbour, 104 U.S. 126, 129, 26 L.Ed. 672 (1881). In Barton, the Supreme Court held that in order to sue a court-appointed receiver, the petitioning party must first seek leave of the court that issued the receivers appointment. The Supreme Courts holding was based in part on the reasoning that the appointing court has in rem jurisdiction over the receivership property. Thus, without leave of the appointing court, the forum in which the receiver was sued lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the action. Of course, subject-matter jurisdiction, or lack thereof, can be raised at any time. Although a rather risky proposition, it can even be raised for the first time on appeal. Torrez v. Edwards, 107 P.3d 1110 (Colo. App. 2004) (Barton Doctrine raised for first time on appeal).
Over the years, the Barton Doctrine was expanded beyond receiverships to include bankruptcy trustees, as they are the statutory successors to the equity receiver. It is well recognized that bankruptcy trustees are officers of the appointing court and are entitled to quasi-judicial immunity. The lengthy subject of immunity is beyond the scope of this article. However, a good discussion can be found at In re Castillo, 297 F.3d 940 (9th Cir. 2002).
The Sixth Circuit extended the protections of the Barton Doctrine to counsel for the trustee, where they are acting under the direction of the trustee, and for the purpose of administering the estate or protecting its assets. In re DeLorean Motor Co., 991 F.2d 1236 (6th Cir. 1993). The Barton Doctrine is appropriately applied to trustees counsel because they function as court-appointed officers, appointed by court order to assist the trustee in carrying out his/her duties.
Congress created one exception to this doctrine, codified in 28 U.S.C. §959(a), which permits lawsuits against a trustee where he/she is carrying on business connected with property of the estate. The carrying on of business has been interpreted to mean operating the debtors business in the ordinary sense of the word — running the business as an operating enterprise. Muratore v. Darr, 375 F.3d 140 (1st Cir. 2004).
The typical fact scenario of existing case law is that of an aggrieved party filing a lawsuit against a trustee in a court other than the bankruptcy court. The aggrieved party either was apparently unaware of the Barton Doctrine, chose to ignore it or tried to carve out an exception. Nevertheless, courts are uniform in holding that they lack subject-matter jurisdiction without the prior consent of the appointing court. It is fairly common, and will become more common under BAPCA, for trustees to avail themselves of the jurisdiction of other courts to recover property of the estate and pursue preference actions. The question then arises; can a nonappointing court impose sanctions against the trustee or trustees counsel without leave of the appointing court, particularly when the trustee has initiated the action? This question has been answered in favor of the trustee. In In re Solar Financial Services, Inc., 255 B.R. 801 (Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2000) (Solar Financial), in a state court action filed by a chapter 7 trustee, the defendant sought sanctions for discovery abuses by the trustee. The state court held that the defendant was entitled to seek sanctions without leave of the bankruptcy court. However, according to the appointing bankruptcy court, the Barton Doctrine required that leave of the appointing court must be granted before the defendant could request sanctions, and that the trustee was entitled to immunity in any event. The appointing court affirmed that absent its consent, the state court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over a request for sanctions. Nonappointing courts will be understandably reticent over the notion that they cannot impose sanctions for conduct in their court without the prior permission of another court. However, sound public policy dictates this result. This rule permits the bankruptcy court to supervise the conduct of its appointed officers, and provides trustees a measure of protection while they administer the estate. In re Crown Vantage, Inc., 421 F.3d 963 (9th Cir. 2005) (Crown Vantage).
The Ninth Circuit recently considered the applicability of the Barton Doctrine to liquidating trustees. In Crown Vantage, the issue was whether, and to what extent, a liquidating trustee appointed pursuant to an approved chapter 11 plan could be sued in a foreign jurisdiction without the consent of the appointing court. The Ninth Circuit held that leave of the appointing court must first be obtained before an action may be initiated in another forum "against a bankruptcy trustee or other officer appointed by the bankruptcy court for acts done in the officers official capacity." The distinction between a chapter 7 or chapter 13 trustee and a liquidating trustee was "of no moment" to the Ninth Circuit, which relied on DeLorean to hold that "court-appointed officers who represent the estate are the functional equivalent of a trustee " 28 U.S.C. §959(a) was raised as a defense, but was distinguished on the basis that liquidating estate assets is not the equivalent of operating a debtors business.
In sum, the Barton Doctrine allows the appointing court to function as a gatekeeper of claims against bankruptcy trustees, their counsel and other officers appointed by the bankruptcy court. This ensures more efficient administration of the estate, and a measure of comfort while in the performance of ones court-appointed duties. However, in the unlikely event of misconduct, this rule will not act as a shield. In addition to adverse consequences in the nonappointing court, the offending party may find it difficult to obtain bankruptcy court approval for fees incurred or future appointments.

Bipolar or Borderline
update 2013, response to figures below
Summary: A reader forwarded the graph and the table below, inviting their inclusion.Although these are the work of a recognized authority on borderline personality disorder, I respectfully disagree.
If you've not come here from there, here is my main page comparing these conditions.
This diagram was forwarded by a reader. It is from Borderline Personality Disorder: A Clinical Guide, first edition, by John G. Gunderson, MD.
Okay, let's take a look at this.
1. Is it true that patients with bipolar disorders have "interpersonal insensitivity"? Think of that, in distinction to "sensitivity to hostility and separations" as "thick skin." . Okay, thick skin, is that a bipolar characteristic? Sorry, not only have I not observed this among my patients (if anything it's the opposite) but I'm not aware of any data to support it. Maybe I missed something somewhere. Never heard of this idea. And it definitely does not jive with my experience.
There you go: warrring experts, or worse, an expert (Gunderson) versus your basic clinician.
2. Grandiose self-image. Well, at times, that's true, it's almost by definition (like do this around a psychiatrist and you might get a diagnosis). But "personality trait"? That is simply wrong. Dr. Akiskal in San Diego has written extensively about "temperament" in bipolar disorder. In his work, he identifies dysthymic temperament (relatively permanently bending toward depression); and cyclothymic temperament (moody); and hyperthymic temperament (full of self-confidence, most of the time -- but not "grandiose" per se, and not guaranteed immune from depression with relative loss of that confidence).
So on this one I just flat disagree.
Likewise, a table comparison from Gunderson offers more detail:
The bipolar column describes Bipolar I more than bipolar II. Manic phases can include all these features. In hypomania, if they are present at all they are generally quite subtle, every one of them.
How about the other way around: do patients with bipolar disorder sometimes manifest the traits shown here to be BPD?
So, on balance, I guess I just disagree with these characterizations. More importantly, as I've described on my main page on this subject, the distinction is not helpful. What matters is whether an antidepressant is likely to help, if added (less likely if the problem is more like bipolar disorder).
Even more commonly, the question is whether an antidepressant already in use could possibly be fueling the fire and making things look borderline -- that, I have seen many times. So many times that I routinely try tapering off antidepressants (very gradually) in patients whom others have called "borderline." Of course this doesn't always make things better. Rather often, things are about the same. But quite often as well, while mood is not much better, a lot of the agitation and suicidal stuff diminishes.
However, I don't work on an inpatient unit anymore. Everything I just said may apply more to outpatient mood instability than inpatient mood instability. People who work on inpatient units could think I really don't "get" borderline PD. Of course, I can think they don't really "get" the breadth of bipolarity. Different parts of the mood instability elephant, sometimes.

Proposition #37 Fails in California ~ What To Do Now About What Is In Our Food
The elections are now over, the endless ad campaigns have stopped and we can now go on with our lives. Right? Well, concerning one item put on the ballot in California, the proposition that basically would require genetically modified foods to be labeled, that, unfortunately, did not pass. This, of course, was a fight with not one but two industries ~ agribusiness and processed food who outspent the Yes forces 5-1! ($45 million to be exact) The United States remains one of the only developed countries in the world to have failed to label these ingredients in our food supply. By a vote of 53 to 47 percent, the Golden State voted "No" on Proposition 37 ~ however, more than 5 million Californians did speak up with their vote that this was an issue that mattered to them.
According to the Center For Food Safety more than 20 other states have introduced legislation to label GE foods, and other states have ballot initiatives in the works. At the federal level, in September 2011 CFS filed a legal petition with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) demanding that the agency require the labeling of all food produced using genetic engineering. To date, more than 1.2 million comments have been submitted to the FDA in support of the petition.
So what's a consumer to do in the interim? Here are some suggestions: (which include voting for the next few years with your dollars!)
- Avoid packaged processed foods
- Use the non-GMO shopping guide to decipher ingredients
- Buy organic or from local farmers you trust
- Keep up the conversation ~ Express yourself
- Go to this site and read more about how to avoid genetically modified foods.
- Check out this site to learn more about what Proposition 37 was all about
Here is a film that addresses the issue. Watch the film and contact the federal government regarding this issue. 92% of Americans want the FDA to label genetically engineered foods. If more of us speak out about why we care about the food we put in our own bodies and in our children's bodies, then we can convince the FDA to change its policy.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Noooo!!! Our Wii is dead.
|Tue, 04-24-2012 - 12:55pm
Our Wii has officially kicked the bucket.
|Tue, 04-24-2012 - 4:37pm
Ugh that stinks! We had to send ours in a few years back but it has been fine since. It isn't reading game cube games right now which is how the issue started last time so fingers crossed it will hang in there. The kids have the 3DS and iTouch that are big into right now so Luke is the only one who really plays the wii. I'd be considering a new one too if it kept having the same problem.
|Wed, 04-25-2012 - 9:57am
That's how our problem started. It was after we started playing Game Cube games in the Wii. It stopped reading all discs after that. Now, we're getting the same "disc cannot be read" error all the time. It's just irritating.
|Wed, 04-25-2012 - 2:12pm
Sounds like a common problem then. I told the kids no Game Cube games and I'm hoping that will help. Good to know the price of the repair has come down, we did ours 2-3 years ago and it was pretty expensive to send it in.
|Thu, 04-26-2012 - 9:40am
Well, we have the Xbox 360 with Kinect, but we don't have many games for it.
|Thu, 04-26-2012 - 10:55am
Wow, I hadn't seen anything on the new wii. Not sure we'll upgrade right away but I do love that Nintendo makes more kid games. How did the Pixar Kinect game party work out? Does your Kinect "see" Lucy ok? Ours has trouble with Luke and JT it thinks is crouching all the time which is a bummer for the Disney game we got.

Tab creates fake drama between "Thor" stars Anthony Hopkins and Chris Hemsworth
By Michael Lewittes | 3:06 pm, March 31st, 2010
"There's already drama behind the scenes of the highly anticipated flick 'Thor,'" claims the New York Daily News, adding, "and we hear it's being stirred up by none other than Anthony Hopkins."
According to the paper, Hopkins is "constantly trying to 'direct' Chris Hemsworth," who stars as Thor. Hopkins plays Thor's father in the film, based on the comic book.
A Daily News "source" says, "Anthony has not tried to hide his disapproval of Chris' acting skills," who the "insider" notes, "respects Anthony a great deal, and it looks like he's trying to grin and bear all of his criticism."
Still, says the tab, director Kenneth Branagh is "annoyed" with Sir Anthony.
So is there really more drama between the stars than in the film's script?
Gossip Cop reached out to a Marvel rep, who called the Daily News' article, "100% false."
But that's not all. We also contacted Hopkins's wife, Stella Hopkins, who has been fielding calls for the legendary star. She told Gossip Cop the report was a "horrific, vile lie," and that they are going to "talk to [their] lawyers."
Stay tuned for the sequel.

82% think the NHS wastes a fair amount, or more, of money.
Labour no longer trusted on NHS reforms - Telegraph
Barely one in five people believe the Labour party will deliver a better health service over the next ten years, the You Gov poll shows.
The Prime Minister hopes Lord Darzi's package of reforms will transform Labour's fortunes and restore the party's reputation as guardians of the NHS on its 60th anniversary.
The results of the poll show he Tories have a clear lead on health policy with 31 per cent of people saying they would do a better job of running the health service, compared to 23 per cent who think Labour would deliver on the NHS.
Sixty-nine per cent of people said reorganising the NHS is more important than spending more on it, up from 38 per cent in 1998. Only 24 per cent now want more spent on health, down from 59 per cent a decade ago.
Seventy-eight per cent of voters believe the NHS has too many managers.
And despite the billions Labour has poured into health, the new poll shows that public satisfaction with the NHS is dropping.
Some 44 per cent of people said they think "a great deal" of money is being wasted in the NHS. Another 38 per cent said a "fair amount" is wasted.
People have seen through the NHS scam, its the beginning of the end. It is a shame the Tories don't recognise that.

The Hills are alive with the sound of engagement rumors!
The New York Post is claiming that MTV reality darling-turned-fashion maven Lauren Conrad is getting hitched to her beau of more than two years, Kyle Howard. But, apparently, they're keeping the wedding news on the down-low.
"She is not wearing a ring because she wants to hold the secret back for her new MTV show," a source told the paper.
Conrad is set to star in yet another reality show for the network that focuses on her professional life and the launch of her new fashion line.
But a rep for the Laguna Beach babe is calling the engagement talk "totally false" and insists that Conrad and her My Boys boyfriend have no plans to walk down the aisle as of now.
Do you think Lauren Conrad and Kyle Howard are engaged? Chime in below!

Abang Haji Abdul Majid, Dayang Laila (2001) Subsonic Aeroelastic Analysis of a Thin Flat Plate. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
The interaction between an aircraft structure and the airflow surrounding it has been known to severely affect the stability, performance and manoeuvrability of the aircraft. These interactions form the heart of aero elasticity, a field that comprises all types of aeroelastic phenomena. In this work, a parametric aeroelastic analysis of a thin flat plate clamped at the leading edge and exposed to subsonic airflow was conducted. The aeroelastic effects predicted to occur was flutter, a type of self-excited oscillation. The analysis was simulated using ZAERO, a panel code aeroelastic program, which requires free vibration input, obtained using MSC-NASTRAN, a finite element code. The flutter equation was obtained using Newton's Law of Motion to model the plate while the airflow was modeled using the Small Disturbance Unsteady Aerodynamic Theory. Free vibration results and flutter results obtained were validated against published works found in reference [8, 60 and 61]. The important parameters studied were the aspect ratio and the mass -ratio of the plate. The effect of the number of free vibration modes employed in the analysis was also tested. From the results, it was shown that the flutter velocity decreased as the mass ratio and aspect ratio were increased. The flutter frequency also decreased with higher mass ratio and at large aspect ratio. The use of a higher number of modes in the flutter analysis was found to increase the accuracy of the flutter.

Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi JonBoy,
Sounds like you have the knack.
If you haven't already started, ... begin to fertilize your plants a bit.
They should grow a bit to the appropriate size for your pots.
But if your plants begin to fail (i.e. lose size), smaller pots will probably be necessary.
BTW ... you should repot them about once a year.
Be sure to make any necessary pot size adjustments when repotting.
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 2:45
One reason for the smaller pot size is to prevent over-watering. If there is too much water the violet cannot take it up fast enough and the roots will rot. So, until your violets grow into their pots, be careful about watering. Also, violets bloom better when root-bound.
It sounds like you're off to a good start!
|Jimmy ...
Your watering routine sounds good.
Since you are fertilizing, be alert for signs of overfertilization (i.e. stunted center growth, and rusty-looking deposits in the leaves of the center growth).
Some growers choose to use a weakened fertilizer solution (ex. half the strength of what's recommended on the label).
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 30, 13 at 16:43
Make sure your fertilizer's Nitrogen is not urea-based. The label will state if it is or not. Also, most AV growers fertilize "weekly, weakly".
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 2, 13 at 16:03
They use urea nitrogen for AV's because it is a cheap form of nitrogen. It is difficult to find a non-urea fertilizer at the big box stores.
- Posted by ultra_violet none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 2, 13 at 18:39
|@Jimmy: I use Schultz AV Plus exclusively, and so far have experienced no fertilizer-related problems. Under my growing conditions, I feel that 6.9% urea nitrogen is still ok-- though I wouldn't use a fertilizer with higher concentration of urea. The way I figure it, successful AV growing has been going on for decades, and urea was a part of formulations way back when, and it is only relatively recent that urea has been in the crosshairs of popular opinion. It's important to note that I do repot at least twice a year, with flushing once or twice in between repots, so that would help with any urea accumulation. And since I wick-water, I use Schultz at half the recommended dosage. Thus far, no problems. Again, this is my own experience, and others may have had different results.
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 3, 13 at 0:45
I wonder if there is any documentation that states at what percentage urea becomes harmful. I haven't come across anything on the web. It would be interesting reading. And I agree-the bi-annual re-potting and flushing really helps with fertilizer build-up.
Yay, thanks for the responses! It sounds hopeful after all...
Now, what is flushing, though?Â

Lauren Block, 22, injured Jan. 2
CLEVELAND - An exotic dancer who fell 15 feet while giving a lap dance at a Cleveland strip club has died.
Lauren Block, 22, was hospitalized in the early morning hours of Jan. 2 after she fell from the second floor balcony at Christie's Cabaret.
"(The man who was receiving the lap dance) stated that she grabbed the rail, as he was facing away from the balcony, and she tried to complete some sort of dance jump/dance move, and accidentally went head first over the rail," according to a police report.
Block was rushed to the hospital with head injuries and was initially listed in critical condition. She died Wednesday.
"We would like to thank the community for their outpouring of support and prayers for Lauren," Block's family said in a statement Wednesday. "She has passed away but is an organ donor, and we hope this will enable her to save many lives and live on through others."
Police said two men who witnessed the incident fled the strip club as soon as it happened, but detectives said they are not treating Block's death as a criminal case.

Bloomberg to Leverage its ŌĆśMarketsŌĆÖ Brand into a Lifestyle Offshoot
Bloomberg Pursuits will be sent to all ŌĆśterminalŌĆÖ users.
Bloomberg has found another way to capitalize on its access to some of the wealthiestŌĆömostly maleŌĆöconsumers in the world: next month, it will launch an offshoot to its Bloomberg Markets magazine. Bloomberg Pursuits will be polybagged with, and run by the team at, Bloomberg Markets, but will hone in on luxury lifestyle content that emerged from the pages of the finance-focused title.
ŌĆ£The stories are there to be told,ŌĆØ says editor Vince Bielski. ŌĆ£Bloomberg Markets stories would contain these fascinating bits and pieces of our readersŌĆÖ lifestyles. We saw a great editorial opportunity to capture these daring, risk-taking individuals who we found bring the same intensity to their personal lives that they bring to financial markets.ŌĆØ
The twice-yearly title launches with a rate base of 375,000 and will be sent for free to all users of the Bloomberg Professional Service (ŌĆ£the terminalŌĆØ). The magazineŌĆÖs readership is 90 percent male, with an average household income of $452,000 and an average age of 38.
The magazineŌĆÖs frequency is set to increase to quarterly in 2013. The debut March issue reportedly contains 46 edit pages and 30 ad pages with advertisers including Herm├©s, Chanel and Rolls-Royce.
Like Markets, Bloomberg Pursuits will have a page on Bloomberg.com, rather than its own website. It will also have a one-hour primetime special on Bloomberg Television next month.
For content, the magazine will draw from reporters across BloombergŌĆÖs more than 150 worldwide bureaus but will publish only original reporting for Pursuits. ŌĆ£One of the distinguishing characteristics of this magazine is the ways we can tell stories globally,ŌĆØ says Bielski. ŌĆ£Our readers are very global, speak several languages and travel extensively, so this isnŌĆÖt a New York-centric or U.S.-centric magazine at all.ŌĆØ
When asked why now is the time for such a launch, Bielski says, ŌĆ£If anything, we could have or should have started a magazine like this some time ago. But now is the time we decided we can do it.ŌĆØ

When the ghost writer of a book goes public with steps he has taken to warn Christians about the conduct of the named author of the book, and provides a list of ministers who are willing to corroborate , the church needs to heed.
I am the ghost author of Afshin's (Javid) autobiography, "As Easy as Drinking Water" (WinePress Publishing, Enumclaw, WA). I wrote the entire text of this book based on approximately 13 hours of audio dictation provided to me by Afshin. The writing, revision and proofing of the book took place between November 2009 and May 2010.By September 2010, I had seen enough unethical conduct on Afshin's part and had found sufficient irreconcilable discrepancies in his testimonial account that I saw it necessary to part ways with him. In October of 2010, I informed Missions Fest Vancouver that he was an ill-advised choice of speaker and that he represented a liability to that organization.
Javid's credentials were yanked by his credentialing association, which has not posted a public statement (an announcement was apparently made in an annual meeting) and even The Christian Broadcasting Network (Pat Robertson) cancelled a 700 Club appearance by Javid.
This is a case where Canadian Christians have stepped forward and done the appropriate and right thing. Ministers do not investigate, sanction and warn one of their own without credible evidence. However, a church in Vancouver has not heeded the reports of sexual misconduct, twisted scripture and financial impropriety.
By this time Afshin, evidenced by his actions, was no longer under the umbrella of Dr. Safarian or the North Shore Pastors Group. He had negotiated to come under Zion Church leaders Albert Zehr and Gideon Chiu (www.churchofzion.org) with David Demian having been brought into many discussions prior to this.
In January of 2012, with full knowledge and ascent of Zion Church leadership, Afshin went to Denmark for a number of speaking engagements and he has indicated that he will be speaking in a number of large events overseas in the winter of 2012.
David Demian, who attends Church of Zion, is well known in Canadian charismatic circles, and runs an organization called Watchmen for the Nations. (the website is down) Why he would sanction the continued ministry of Afshin Javid after knowledge of sexual misconduct is something only he can address.
If a list of well known and concerned Christian leaders in Vancouver and a credentialing association aren't sufficient for David Demian and Church of Zion to re-consider their support, what is?
Afshin Javid has an operating website and a Facebook page.

DULUTH - A Minnesota organization that specializes in assisting low–income Northlanders is restructuring.
The Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency (AEOA) moved out of its west Duluth office last month.
The director of housing services said the move and a few layoffs were because of decreased federal funding.
The agency is working on setting up an office in the Central Hillside area.
For now, anyone in the Duluth area who needs assistance from AEOA is asked to called their Virginia office.
However, phone lines should be back up at the new Duluth location within the next few days.

Feel sexier and get more satisfaction by eating these foods that are good for your sex life.
Looking for more foods with health benefits? Check out these anti-aging power foods and these dietician-approved healthy snacks.
A Carb-and-Protein Balanced Meal
It's not just about single food items. A combination can either make you feel sexy or leave you too sluggish or full to do the deed. Jennifer Hanes, DO, author of Lady in Weighting and the forthcoming The Princess Plan, explains that a womans libido is stimulated when the neurotransmitter serotonin is released in her brain. "Your serotonin level increases when you consume carbohydrates, but a carb binge can result in a massive sugar crash an hour or so later," which leaves you too pooped to party. So skip the bottomless bowl of fettucine alfredo, and go for a meal that combines complex carbohydrates (like whole-grain pasta, brown rice, veggies, and legumes, and not simple carbs like white pasta, white rice, and white bread, which turn right to sugar) with protein. Thatll give you a lasting serotonin boost and stable blood sugar energy. Think steak fajitas with black beans or smoked chicken with baked beans. Then again, maybe the beans would lead to mood-killing, uh, aftershocks.

A Sense of Accomplishment/
We're often asked, how do Montessori students feel a sense of accomplishment, if they're not rewarded with stickers or praise. Which is to say, in Montessori, students initiate activities out of their own volition. They engage with them because they're eager to learn what they're all about. Not because they're instructed to do so. "But, do they feel", it is asked, "a sense of accomplishment, since they're working with the activities, not because they are being evaluated or judged, but because they want to?"
We thought we would take this opportunity to share with you one of the many "sense of accomplishment" smiles we see each day. On this particular afternoon, one of our five-year-old-students decided he wanted to work with the 1000 bead chain. The exercise is very extensive, and requires great patience, concentration and persistence. Here he is, just getting started.
Now, the chain is carefully laid out from one end of the room to the other, with 1000 beads strewn across the floormat. At each 10 and 100, he demarcates the numeral, and his progress, with either a blue tab, indicating the number, or a one-hundred bead grouping. You can see these pictured above.
After a few hours, and a few pauses to catch his breath and get a drink of water, he finished the activity. You can see in his smile and in his body posture, his sense of accomplishment. He's proud of his work, looking over it with meticulous and joyous eyes. He knows he can finish this task. He knows he can work to perfect it. He also increasingly knows, gaining confidence, that he can do just about anything!

Making UrlRewritingNet Ignore URLs [Fix]
I recently updated the Intrepid Studios site back-end to include ELMAH, the error reporting module. ELMAH is great and works great, except that it doesn't play nice with UrlRewritingNet.
There is a StackOverflow discussion about this with a workaround that ended up not using UrlRewritingNet at all unfortunately. In addition, there's a detailed post about doing some voodoo and mixing potions to get UrlRewritingNet to work. Note that you can simply remove the defaultPage attribute on the urlrewritingnet config section to solve this, but it may cause other unintended consequences.
I thought to myself, there's gotta be a better way! And there is (well, it's a hack so I suppose it is not entirely the best, but it is the simplest so far). I simply added in a few lines of code to the UrlRewritingNet source code to allow you to ignore URLs. Without knowing much about how the component works, this is an easy "patch."
Download the Modified Binaries
For those that don't care how I did it, I have uploaded the modified binaries you'll need to replace in your application. See below for an explanation of how to use it.
- Download the modified binaries (v0.1) – 3/26/2010
Getting the Source
Head over to the Downloads section of UrlRewritingNet to get the source code.
Extract the files to a directory of your choice.
I opened and converted the solution with VS 2010, but you can use anything you wish.
Modifying the Files
We will modify 3 files. Follow along below.
In WebRewriteOption.cs, add another value to the enumeration like so:
[Flags] public enum RewriteOption { Application = 0x00, Domain = 0x01, None = 0x02 // KR: Ignore the URL }
In WebUrlRewriteModule.cs, around line 212, add the following underneath
if (rewrite.IsRewrite(requestUrl)):
//KR: ignore url if (rewrite.Rewrite == RewriteOption.None) { rewritten = true; // sure, we totally "rewrote" it, heh. break; }
In urlrewritingnet.xsd, change the xs:simpleType for RewriteOption to be:
<xs:simpleType name="RewriteOption"> <xs:restriction base="xs:NMTOKEN"> <xs:enumeration value="Application" /> <xs:enumeration value="Domain" /> <xs:enumeration value="None" /> <!-- KR Ignore URL --> </xs:restriction> </xs:simpleType>
Finally, in the same file, change the
use="required" attribute of destinationUrl to be optional, like so:
<xs:attribute name="destinationUrl" type="xs:string" use="optional" />
Build the solution in Debug/Release and copy over the new DLLs to your project. Voila, all done! Now all you need to do to NOT rewrite a URL is the following:
<add name="Elmah" virtualUrl="^~/elmah.axd(.*)$" rewrite="None" />
I've tested it with Intrepid Studios and it seems to work just fine.
As always, feedback and improvements are much appreciated!

News, Notes and Historical Information on the St. Louis Cardinals
[powered by WordPress.]
Just like that, the Cardinals now have a three game deficit to make up in the NL Central. Throw in the injury to Albert Pujols and things aren't looking good for the Cardinals. Things really came to a head this weekend with the Cardinals losing three straight to the Blue Jays and then the Brewers won three straight. That puts them just one game back of the Reds and Pirates. There's still plenty of games left but the team is now without both it's best pitching and best hitter so this is going to be tough no matter what.
This afternoon they got shutout. They made a decent pitcher in Ricky Romero look like a Cy Young contender and then Kyle McClellan had a tough time and he fell to 6-4. He gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings.
Four hits isn't going to cut it and that's all the Cards could muster. Andrew Brown doubled and that was his first extra base hit of his career and the only extra base hit of the game for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals get a day off, then it's three against the Orioles. Time to turn things around here. It's also time to get some Cardinals tickets because they're only going to be tougher to get as the season goes on. I know they're banged up, but I expect them to stay in contention.

AIDS Day message: Disease controlled, not vanquished
|In this Republican-American archive photo from last year's World AIDS Day event, AIDS Survivor Ray Hebert talks at the base of the clock tower on the Waterbury Green about his life since discovering that he had contracted the virus during an operation in 1977.
WATERBURY In the five years between 2007 and 2012, the number of people in Waterbury infected by HIV spiked from 236 to more than 700.
That's according to figures provided by Ric Browne, a program director who deals with AIDS cases at New Opportunities of Waterbury Inc.

The reality
is that when fire strikes, your home could be
engulfed in smoke and flames in just a few minutes.
It is important to have a home fire escape plan that
prepares your family to think fast and get out
quickly when the smoke alarm sounds. What if your
first escape route is blocked by smoke or flames?
That's why having two ways out is such a key part of
your plan.This year's theme,"Have 2 Ways Out!",
focuses on the importance of fire escape planning
and practice.
Check back
often for more info as Fire Prevention Week
As we move forward to
a new year, we lok into our crystal ball and try to
plan and educate accordingly for things to come. A
hot topic lately is heating. Almost half of
Pittsfield building fires are heating related! Most
are chimney fires. This is alarming to us because
wood is making a big comeback. Chimneys that have
heavy use, or are using green wood are more
susceptible to fire from buildup of creosote on the
walls of the chimney. In older chimneys, or chimneys
that do not have liners, fire is more likely to
extend from the wall of the chimney into the
partitions of a house. Most of the time, cleaning
your chimney is not on your "things-to-do" list
during the summer, when you are planning a vacation
or a long weekend. Most homeowners have their
chimney cleaned right before the cold season, when
chimney sweeps are at their busiest. A simple way to
remember to have your chimney cleaned is to mark it
on your calendar and call for an appointment the day
after July 4. Make it a priority on your
"thing-to-do" list!
I always talk about
fire prevention; however this year we will be
conducting a few programs to promote EMS safety.
Health safety is also important, such as blood
pressure screening. Screening can, over a few
months, show a trend in your blood pressure. This
will make talking to your doctor about it easier.
We will also be conducting a pilot program for
Community First Aid and CPR. Keep a look out for
information this spring!
Lastly, our "We Can't
Help You if We Can't Find You" campaign is still
ongoing. Please take a few minutes to make sure your
home is numbered, and the number is visible from the
road. If your house sits off the road, a mail box or
stake in the ground might suffice. The larger the
numbers, the easier it is for us to find you.
However, they must be contrasting with the
background color; all the same color at night is
just that, the same and it all blends together.
Pittsfield has a very comprehensive, cut and dry
ordinance on the proper way to number
your house.
Again, I would like
to thank everyone who helped during the year on the
various public education events the Pittsfield Fire
Department has hosted, and attended. Without the
support from the community and local businesses
these events wouldn't have happened.
The Pittsfield Fire
and Rescue Service and I are grateful for all of the
support and help you have provided. Community
support for these events is critical. Without the
citizen and business support you provided we could
not have provided the fire safety programs to the

Free advice on problem debtbased on what's best for you
If you're part way through a Debt Remedy session...
If you're an existing DMP client...
In order to go bankrupt in the UK, you have to pay bankruptcy fees to the court on the day you file your bankruptcy petition.
Bankruptcy fees in the UK comprise a court fee and an official receiver's fee.
If you are on a low income or receive certain benefits, the court fee may be waived. Whatever your circumstances, the official receiver's fee always has to be paid.
Once you have petitioned for bankruptcy, the official receiver will look through your finances and decide if you need to pay anything towards your debts. You may have to pay a monthly contribution towards your debts for up to three years. This is called an income payment arrangement. It is payable if you have available income of more than £20 per month after paying your household bills and essential living costs.
The official receiver will not make you pay anything towards your bankruptcy if you cannot afford to, and will always leave you with enough money to live on each month.
If you have any valuable items, such as property, a vehicle, jewellery or savings, the official receiver may arrange for them to be sold, and the money generated will be used to pay back some of your debts.
Through campaigns, research, press releases and social media, we provide leading insight on problem debt.
You're not just doing a job working for us. You're making a positive difference to people when they need it most.

PETALUMA, Calif., Dec. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:OCLS) a healthcare company that designs, produces and markets innovative, safe and effective anti-infective medical devices while also developing multiple drug candidates, today provided a market update for the second half of 2012.
Financial Update/EBITDAS Profitability Expected During FY 2014
Total revenue was $8.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $6.6 million in the same period last year with product revenue growing at 32% over the same period last year. Operating loss minus non-cash expenses (EBITDAS) for these six months was $235,000 compared to $1.2 million in the same period last year. If adjusted for one-time severance costs of $410,000 relating to the transaction with Oculus partner, More Pharma, Oculus would have been EBITDAS profitable for the first half of FY 2013. The company's cash position as of September 30, 2012 was $8.3 million.Oculus management believes the combination of the growing revenue, especially in the United States, and reduced operating expenses in Mexico, should result in consistent EBITDAS profitability sometime in fiscal year 2014, excluding expenses directly related to clinical drug trials. Once realized, Oculus will then target cash flow breakeven, which will be facilitated by continued revenue growth and maintenance of reduced cash operating expenses. Management provided product revenue growth guidance of up to 25% for the full fiscal year 2013, compared to the same period last year.
