How Being Confident Helps You Overcome Poverty
BOSTON ( TheStreet) -- People may have better chances of overcoming poverty by recalling past success and happiness, according to a study published this month in Psychological Science.
Recalling fond memories that invoke a sense of self-worth actually improved brain function by increasing IQ by several percentage points, the study says. After doing this, study participants were more willing to seek out aid from crucial social services and overcome some of the obstacles standing in the way of better financial status.
"This study shows that surprisingly simple acts of self-affirmation can improve the cognitive function and behavioral outcomes of people in poverty," said Jiaying Zhao, co-author of the study, in a press release. Zhao is an assistant professor at at the Department of Psychology and Institute of Resources, Environment and Sustainability of the University of British Columbia.
The experiment for the project consisted of nearly 150 participants who frequented a New Jersey soup kitchen over the course of two years. The participants were asked to privately record a personal story with a tape recorder and afterward complete problem-solving tests.Participants selected to recount a moment or achievement they were proud of performed significantly better on cognitive tests than the control group -- attaining an impressive10-point increase in their IQ scores. They were also much more likely to solicit information on services they qualified for from the local government that could help them rise out of poverty. Past studies have shown that self-affirmation can improve test scores in other marginalized group, namely African-American students and female math students. This is the first study that shows it can work for the poor, though, and the first to use techniques tailored specifically to participants' low literacy levels. research by Zhao and colleagues at Princeton University, Harvard University and the University of Warwick that found poverty consumes great amounts of mental energy, making it difficult for poor people to concentrate on other areas in their lives. As a result, the impoverished often have less remaining "mental bandwidth" to apply to things such as education, job positions and even general time management.

The Reflective Essay
At the completion of the semester in which you undertake your experience, you must submit a reflective essay to the Office of the Core Curriculum. Please read the following carefully, as it will answer many of your questions!
Writing to a formal or professional audience, create a reflective piece of approximately 1600 words that will allow you and your audience to make sense of your experiences. You should consider integration into your reflection commentary on the following, as appropriate:
- your academic, professional and personal goals related to the experience and how these evolved based on your experiences;
- the way in which your expectations about your experiences compare to your actual experiences;
- your interaction with individuals at a particular site or in a particular culture;
- the skills you came to realize you needed to develop or have developed as a result of your experience;
- possible connections between concepts, ideas, facts, or skills learned in class and those learned through experience; and/or
- how your experience relates to your goals for subsequent learning opportunities at SMCM or beyond.
Be sure to support your commentary with specific examples from your experience.
Please note that reflective work submitted to the Career Development Center for a credit-bearing internship, or written work required for a class you are using to satisfy the ELAW requirement, will not automatically fulfill the reflective essay requirement for ELAW. Essays produced for these other audiences may be appropriate for submission as your ELAW reflective piece if they meet the expectations laid out above. In such cases you must submit the essay directly to the Office of the Core for independent evaluation.
Normally, essays are due on the final day of classes in the semester in which you are enrolled in CORE 350; in the summer term, essays are due on 15 August.
If you are studying abroad in fall semester, and your term extends past the end of the St. Mary's semester, your essay will be due on 1 January. If you are going on a winter break study tour, your essay will be due on 15 January. If you are studying abroad in spring semester, and your term extends past the end of the St. Mary's semester, your essay will be due on 30 June.
Send your essay to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Materials turned in to the Career Development Center or to individual professors will not be forwarded to the Office of the Core Curriculum!
Your essay may be submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx extension), or as a pdf. Please title it [lastname, firstname] reflection.[extension]. As in, "Smith, Mary reflection.docx." You may include photos, etc. if you wish.
Each reflective piece will be read by members of the Core Curriculum Committee and assigned a grade of "Pass," "Pass with Distinction," or "Fail," which will be noted on your transcript. Students submitting failing essays will be invited to revise their work and resubmit it.
Your degree audit may not show that you've completed ELAW, but as long as your transcript reflects an actual grade of P or PD, you have, indeed, satisfied the requirement.

Terms hyperlinked in bold will display a definition of the term when clicked.
When a taxpayer is not satisfied with a judgment of an Indiana tax agency (like the agency that determines how much tax you pay on your house or business), the taxpayer can file an original tax appeal with the Indiana Tax Court. An original tax appeal starts when the taxpayer files a petition or request to challenge the tax amount the state has charged. If the taxpayer is unhappy with the review, he or she can appeal to the Tax Court.
In an appeal from the Department of State Revenue, the taxpayer has two options: 1) file a letter of findings, or 2) pay the tax, then file a claim for a refund, and appeal the denial of the claim for refund. If a refund claim is filed and the Department of Revenue does not act within 180 days, the claim is considered denied. For the most part, appeals from the Department of Revenue must be filed within 180 days of the letter of findings or within 90 days of the denial of the refund. Appeals from the Indiana Tax Court go directly to the Indiana Supreme Court.
After the taxpayer has filed an appeal, the Indiana Tax Court judge, like other appellate judges, will review the case and issue a written opinion. An opinion is the decision issued by the court that determines whether the government correctly taxed the taxpayer. If the taxpayer or the government does not agree with the decision of the Indiana Tax Court, either one can appeal the decision directly to the Indiana Supreme Court.

play doh memories — who knew? Isn't it fun how there are common threads of memory that run through our lives. Play Doh could have been Popsicles, Band Aids, Barbie — or something less "branded" like grape soda, Saturday-morning cartoons or tetherball. Think today about "things" and the memories that stem from them and surround them. Then consider starting your next scrapbook page from that perspective.
If you can, take a few minutes and read some of the memories that have been shared here — it's amazing! I am printing and compiling your Play Doh memories. I think I may even send them to Play Doh! Don't you think they would want to read some of the memories they have created in the lives of people? Don't you think that would be a cool birthday present from me? Kiley, our super-duper admin at Big Picture Scrapbooking will be helping me send out our Happy Mail. Watch for her email, and thank you for taking the time to comment and share — you are always so good that way.
I was in an all-day meeting yesterday, so missed my chance to share Wednesday's Words
when I went to the mailbox last night, Tasra Dawson's new book Real Women Scrap was waiting for me. I was able to sneak a peek at Tasra's ideas before publication. I was even priviledged to write an endorsement of her accomplishment. I am so happy for her, as I believe she has put into words many of the life lessons and insights we gain from our committment to scrapbooking — there are so many parallels and she is touching on them in a personal and articulate way. I'm actually not sure where you can purchase Tasra's book, but you can probably learn more from her publisher.
I leave with you an excerpt that I support 100% — the idea that we must include ourselves in our scrapbooks …
Years from now, we will look back and regret not letting anyone take a picture of us cuddling with our niece or nephew or standing next to Goofy. Friend and family won't care if we lack trim figures or flawless faces. As hard as it is to grasp, they want us — just as we are. We need to accept ourselves today the way our grandchildren will one day. We need to care enough about ourselves to take back our time and our lives. Focus on the positive contributions of your life. There is only one you! Don't let another moment pass without letting the world enjoy the beauty and mystery that you alone possess.
powerful and true.
Thank you Tasra!

Best Places to Travel After a Divorce
Christopher Gabello
Kamalame Cay, Bahamas
While honeymooners have long been courted by resorts, lately divorcées have suitors, too. And they don't get much more desirable than Kamalame Cay, a secluded complex of 19 villas on a sandy, three-mile spit off of Andros Island. Its Le Divorce package includes a snorkeling trip or fishing excursion as well as a treatment at the overwater resort spa. Note your cocktail, music, and author preferences on the resort's "vice and virtue" form in advance, then prepare for sneaky surprises throughout your stay.

Cops: Suspect ate coffee cake, played darts while residents slept
BY BRIAN STANLEY email@example.com December 19, 2012 3:52PM
Daniel W. Bailey, 32, of Mokena, was charged with residential burglary, vandalism, theft and battery, possession of drug paraphernalia and was being held on $75,000 bail, Will County Sheriff's police said.
Updated: January 21, 2013 3:55PM
A southwest suburban family was awakened early Sunday by an intruder who made himself at home for the holidays.
About 4 a.m., residents heard a knocking sound and found a man sitting on a stairway playing with their cat. After telling him to get out of their Troy Township home, they noticed that the Christmas tree lights and the television had been turned on and candles were burning, according to the Will County Sheriff's Office.
When officers arrived at the home on Route 52 a short time later, they found the man in a driveway. He told authorities he had run out of gas and knocked on the door of the home for help ,and when no one answered, he broke into the home.
The residents said they woke up when the man knocked on a bedroom door.
"A coffee cake that had been inside a cabinet was half-eaten out on the counter," a deputy reported.
It also appeared the man had played a round of darts on the board in the garage and taken gas caps off the lawn mower and three vehicles.
The man allowed deputies to search his Chevrolet Malibu, which was indeed out of gas, police said.
Inside the car, police said they found two cans of beer, a can of soda, two frozen dinners, three frozen pizzas, a box of Hot Pockets and a box of mozzarella sticks that had allegedly had been taken from the freezer inside. The residents did not claim the two glass marijuana pipes that police found in the man's car.
Daniel Bailey, 32, of Mokena, was arrested on charges of residential burglary, vandalism, theft and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Sheriff's police said Bailey "became irate and combative" while being moved to a holding cell at the jail and also was charged with battery. He was being held on $75,000 bail.

FLORENCE – General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt spoke in optimistic terms about the recovery of the global economy during 2013 and about GE's growing participation in the oil and gas industry during his introductory remarks at the opening reception of GE's annual customer gathering here.
"I think there are signs the U.S. economy is improving," Immelt said. "Even the Chinese economy is strengthening. The world economy goes as goes the Chinese economy."
Immelt was pleased with the growth of GE's oil and gas segment. "When I started attending these customer gatherings in 2004, our business was only $1.5 billion. We've grown ten times since then to $15 billion through both organic and inorganic growth."
Immelt explained that GE had five objectives in mind during 2013: technology, execution, analytics through the industrial internet, localition and people"
"We're investing 6% of our revenues in R&D, whereas the industry standard is 2%," Immelt said. "We're also planning to open an R&D center specifically for oil and gas research."
Concerning localization, Immelt said the company plans to open manufacturing centers in regions such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia.

A crew came out on Friday from Britton Tree Service to start work on the trees in the front.
Pretty amazing that these guys swing from the trees!
Today, the crew started work on the trees in the back of the house. This tree was hollow inside and needed to come down as it was in danger of falling down.
This is the one tree we took down purely because it was in the way. Sorry tree.
But the removal of the dead tree as well as this tree sure improved the northwest view!!!

Our Walt Disney World trip reports were the inspiration for this website. For years we wrote trip reports on Disney forums, and in reply, we received a number of questions about the parks, resorts, and dining, plus lots of, "you should write your own blog" comments. In February 2011 we finally listened to these comments and started this site, initially only as a way to organize our popular trip reports. The site has since grown into a full Disney online resource, but its heart remains the trip reports. The trip reports are what regular readers tell us, time and time again, they love most about DisneyTouristBlog.com.
If you've never read Disney trip reports, you might wonder what the heck these reports are and why so many people like them. They're hard to define. Primarily, they're a way to share the incredible amounts of fun we have Walt Disney World and Disneyland, along with gorgeous photos of the parks, many of which are our popular "After Hours" shots. People really seem to like seeing Walt Disney World and Disneyland without any other people in the parks.
Along the way, there are candid opinions about Disney, tips for improving your own Disney trips, random photo-babble, and the occasional witty remark. (Well, we think it's witty…) The trip reports aren't for everyone, but for those who enjoy them, they are great tools for planning, or living vicariously through our past experiences in the parks as you await your next trip!
These trip reports are eclectic smorgasbords of Disney adventures by two married twenty-somethings. The FDA warns that they are not safe for human consumption, but we encourage you to read anyway. Or skim them for pretty Disney photos!
Disneyland Paris Christmas Trip Report – Our first trip to an international park occurred with our Christmas visit to Disneyland Paris. Read our account of the differences and similarities between Disneyland Paris and the American parks, along with our tours of the hotels, extensive photos of the attractions (especially Phantom Manor), photos of Disney Dreams!, and even some general tips for traveling to Europe!
Tokyo Disney Resort 30th Anniversary Trip Report – We visited Tokyo Disney Resort for its 30th Anniversary, and instantly fell in love. Check out our photos and thoughts on Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, our two favorite Disney theme parks in the world. Just be warned–you will want to book a trip across the Pacific after seeing this report!
Being "Vacation Kingdom of the World" nerds, this was a big trip for us because it commemorated the 40th Anniversary of Walt Disney World. We also GORGED ourselves at Epcot's Food & Wine Festival, participated in the Disney Parks Blog's Trick or Meet-Up, did Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, and dined at some delicious restaurants. We stayed at the very underrated Caribbean Beach Resort (mon!). 800+ Photos

Great reports! I just spent a week in Orlando, and I made a fun video of the cool places I'd been! Check it out:
It has been about 3 years since my last visit to Disneyland. I've been a regular since it opened. I read all the hype on how fabulous the upgrades at California Adventure are and while that may be true, I opted to take my grandchildren to Disneyland for their first visit. The last time I was there I couldn't help but notice how run down so many of the original rides were… light bulbs out, faded glow in the dark paint on rides like Peter Pan. Just an overall run down look. So yesterday I was looking forward to watching little faces light up just as mine had at age 5. It appears that all the improvements were invested in attracting more visitors to California Adventure as I found Disneyland to be in the same run down condition as my previous visit. I was devasted when my granddaughter got off her first ride declairing "this is lame". I agree. The magic goes out the window when the park isn't properly maintained. It was a ridiculously expensive day and were we able to do it over we would have gone to California Adventure where everything is shiny and new. Shame on the Disney Company. For what you charge a family for admission it would behoove you to keep the park in pristeen condition. It was clean but inexcusably rundown.
How long until you guys go to and review Hong Kong? We just got back from WDW and although we had an amazing time, we're looking for something fresher and more updated in our next Disney experience and thought HKD (or Tokyo) looked like places we could look at visiting next. Have you ever been?
Love these. Wish there was a way to sort them in chronological order though. Or even just a list of links off to the side. I don't know why, maybe it's just that my brain likes to think more linear, but it's interesting to see what trips you took in 2012, for example. I understand why you have them grouped by destination though.
Tom – First let me say LOVE YOUR BLOG! Secondly, you know you are a die hard Disney fan when in conversation with friends we refer to you by first name as if we know you!!! So thank you for reporting on everything Disney and for your amazing photography! Your wisdom helped me purchase a Canon PowerShot last year before my Sept trip and my photos came out wonderful!
Ok now my question…traveling to WDW in January (surprise trip for my daughter – actually her Christmas present!) We will arrive Jan 17th – 21st and spend 2 half days at Universal. Any tips on what to expect int he parks for January – crowd wise, weather and/or any tips for "that other park"?? Thanks!
oh forgot to thank you for the DVC tips!!! I purchased at BLT this past April from The Timeshare Store – wonderful transaction and I paid $96/point!!!! Our Jan trip will be the first time it is used!!!
Hey! I know it sometimes take a while but I was just wondering if you'll be doing a Hong Kong Disneyland trip report? Or a second Tokyo Disneyland one??
I'm sure I speak for MANY of your most loyal and devoted fans when I say that we're all DYING for the DCA re opening trip report!
No seriously though, not only have I been checking back weekly, but I'm putting off my first visit to the newly reopened DCA until I hear what my favorite Disney bloggers think of it! So get writing, please! I feel like I'm waiting for George R R Martin to finish book 6. Or it's 2005 and I'm waiting for the last Harry Potter book.
Also thank you for creating a blog for twentysomething disnerds!
Will you be uploading your 2013 Monstrous Summer trip report?
Can anyone comment on the best place to stay at the Contemporary Resort? The main building or garden wings?
Hi Tom,
Thank you for your site. I just signed up and already feeling that I can't find enough time to read all of the very useful blogs that you posted.
Using my DVC points work perfect for me and my boyfriend. I use my points and he pays for our airfare and food.
I recently used my points (160 points) to stay in a 2-bedroom at Playa Conchal in Costa Rica (April 26-May 3, 2014). We were upgraded to a 2-bedroom from a 1 bedroom. The stay was to die for (room, service, pool, beach and food). We paid $85/person/day for meals and all drinks. For me, this was a real big bang for your buck.
About 2 weeks ago, we were looking at booking at the world collection again and surprised to find that Playa Conchal is no longer listed in the RCI site. I guess our stay was too good to be true. We looked at Riviera Maya in Mexico but their all-inclusive fee was ridiculously expensive $170-230/person/day. Then, at this point, I agree that using my points in RCI is no longer an efficient option.
What can you say about using my points to an RCI destination?
Thanks for your time and more power to you.

Hinderman: Suggestions on how to avoid the summertime blahs
By Laura Hinderman Citizen email@example.com May 23, 2013 1:18PM

Updated: June 27, 2013 6:17AM
Our unseasonably cool and wet spring has finally made way for nice weather. Some graduations have been held, others are coming soon. The imminent end of the school year means that parents will soon face the annual challenge of trying to delay their kids' cries of "I'm bored" as long as possible.
To help avoid your children's summer boredom blues, sign them up for some fun classes and events through the village of Orland Park and its parks and recreation department. Here are some suggestions you can keep in your quiver.
Fitness for all
There are a variety of fitness programs designed to be fun for children. Splex Rex Fitness for Kids is offered to toddlers and preschoolers and T-Rex makes an appearance! Classes begin May 28.
Children ages 7-13 can join the five-week Fitness Camp at the village Sportsplex. Campers meet with a certified trainer to learn about various health and fitness issues. The camp starts June 10.
Two separate age groups — 7-12 and 13 and up — will have the opportunity to get on a regular workout and nutrition plan (twice a week) and set and meet goals with a personal trainer. Fitwise for Kids and Teens begins June 3.
Off-season athletes can take advantage of Team Makers, in which a certified personal trainer will meet with them twice a week to instruct them on drills to enable them to throw farther, jump higher, run faster or just get in better shape for improved sports performance. Sessions begin June 4.
How about some time for Mom or Dad? Fitness in the Park offers outdoor workouts in Centennial Park. Body weight exercises and cardio drills will be done on hills and flatlands in the park. The class meets three times per week at 6 a.m., beginning on June 3.
Hammocks bring to mind relaxation, not exercise, right? Well, a new class, Fly Yoga, starts and ends with a warming "cocoon" wrap in a fabric hammock. During the class, you use it to stretch further and hold challenging poses longer. Classes start July 1.
Kids Fire
and Safety Camp
The Orland Fire Protection District is offering Fire and Life Safety Camp for children from July 15 to 18, designed to give them lessons regarding potential safety hazards around their home and school. Classes consist of lectures and lessons each day, followed by opportunities to actively participate in exercises designed to reinforce what they have been taught.
Participants will learn basic first aid and CPR, water and pool safety, personal safety and injury prevention, severe weather preparedness; bicycle safety; fire prevention and firefighter skills; Stranger Danger; and team-building activities.
The camp is geared for children ages 8-11 and is limited to 45. Once the camp is full, registration closes. It will run from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. each day and is free for Orland Fire District residents, with proof of residency required. Non-district residents will be charged $30.
Registration forms will be available online (www.orlandfire.org) and must be submitted at the fire district's administration building, 9790 W. 151st St., Orland Park, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Registration begins May 31, for district residents, June 16 for nonresidents, with July 1 the last day to register.
Butterfly Festival
On June 1, Garden Patch Farms, 14154 W. 159th St., Homer Glen, will host its first annual butterfly festival, including a butterfly release. If you have previously purchased a butterfly kit and raised your Painted Ladies, you may release your butterflies during the event. Call (708) 301-7720 or visit email@example.com for more information.
Orland Park
Farmers Market
Orland Park will resume its annual farmers market, beginning June 7 at the village Civic Center, 14750 Ravinia Ave. The market will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Fridays through Oct. 4, with the exception of Aug. 2 (during the Taste of Orland).
More than 30 vendors will offer a variety of fresh produce, flowers, plants, pasta, bakery items, gourmet spices, jewelry, home and garden items, purses, beauty products and much more. Barbecue lunches sponsored by local charities will be available for purchase through Aug. 9. For more information, call (708) 403-6145.

Venture capitalists are hot for advertising technology and digital media startups, but not because they're sexy. It's because they help marketing perform better and let marketers do more with less, a very old-school value.
Venture capitalists are hot for advertising technology and digital media startups, but not because they're sexy. It's because they help marketing perform better and let marketers do more with less, a very old-school value.
High-tech law firm Fenwick & West's Silicon Valley Venture Capital Survey - Third Quarter 2012 analyzed the terms of venture financings for 117 companies headquartered in Silicon Valley that reported raising money in Q3. It found that 61 percent of companies this quarter raised it at a higher price per share than in their previous round of financing, with 64 percent of the Series B rounds going to software and internet or digital media companies.
"There could be two reasons why Series B rounds were very strong," said Barry Kramer, a corporate partner in Fenwick & West. "It could have been because people were very enthusiastic about early-round financing, or it could have been because the Series B rounds were in an industry people were interested in. Prices went up a good amount partly because those industries were very hot."
The Fenwick & West Venture Capital Barometer charts the magnitude of price change in funding rounds, quarter by quarter. For Q3 2012, pricing of rounds for internet/digital media companies was up 153 percent, surpassed only by cleantech, up 158 percent.
"This was due, in part, to having three companies, two of which were in the internet/digital media sector, that had financings up over 750 percent, which affected the average," Kramer said. The median for internet/digital media companies in Q3 was 39 percent.
The median amount raised in this quarter's financing rounds was $3.7 million per Dow Jones VentureSource, the lowest quarterly median amount since 1997. Overall, the median amount raised is on track to be $2.5 million for 2012.
Kramer said that could be due to the fact that companies can do more with less money, thanks to the internet. As well, he said, it's simply harder to raise money.

Looking at this month's crop of investments in ad tech companies, most money infusions were way above that median:
Socialbakers aims to be the Nielsen of social media, providing analysis of the impact of social media campaigns. In two years, it's grown from a tiny startup in Prague to having clients, including McDonalds, Nestle and Vodafone, in 175 countries.
"We invest in companies that are aspiring to be global leaders, businesses that are disruptive in a large market. The market size potential is important to us," said Jan Hammer, a partner at Index Ventures. "We're leveraging companies based on new technology, companies that can process very large data sets, that can organize, measure and analyze, and produce the answer to the marketer."
In companies like Socialbakers, Hammer is looking for global reach, scale, a large network of publishers or clients, and the ability to harness massive computing power to glean insight from huge data sets.
"Socialbakers brings clarity, a measurement yardstick and benchmarking ability to the marketer who is cluttered by various products and under pressure to post, respond and listen to what people are saying," Hammer said. "It's not about a consultant holding hands with somebody in their office. It's all about automating public and private data sets."
Joshua Baer, CEO of OtherInBox and founder of the Capital Factory startup incubator, said that he liked OutboundEngine's automated marketing platform because, "People are lazy and marketers are lazy." Rather than simply making it easier for marketers to do the things they know they should do, he said, "OutboundEngine just does it for them."
Baer is one of the most active angel investors, and he finds a lot of startups focused on advertising technology and email, plus lots of investors who love them. He said, "Advertising technology solutions are attractive to early-stage investors because they often start small and scale to be very big. You can start with something that makes money immediately and have a clear, direct revenue model. Once you find something that works, you can put more into it, and it can scale very big."

The Fourth Dimension of Open Source
Digg, a relative start-up, writes at its company blog that it is now looking to create a program compatible with the old Reader, and it seems natural to expect the Mozilla Foundation, which produces Firefox, to do the same. This brings us back to the second rule, the development incline, the idea that where the code lives matters.
The important business point is that this can work both ways. Investors may see cutting off open source as a sign of strength, even though a walled garden is as unstable as any other closed ecosystem. But what should investors think when a company goes the other way, when it opens access to code that was previously closed, when it explicitly invites outsiders in?
That's what Microsoft (MSFT) has done with its Kinect interface, as Fast Company writes,, making code supporting the interface open source under the Apache License.
Is this a sign of strength or weakness? Most would say weakness. But is this better or worse for open source developers? Obviously it's better.I think this brings me to some closure on open source policy matters. I first saw the whole thing as euclidean, as a right triangle you could adjust to suit yourself. But it turns out that this is more like quantum mechanics, that there are at least four dimensions under which the rules of open source can be tweaked by companies hoping to seize its value and get some coder love for themselves.

Florida's Center for the Advancement of Child Welfare Practice selected Evelyn Wenzel's seminar to videotape at the Seminole County Child Protection Conference, October 28, 2008. The video on "The Missing Piece in Sexual Abuse Treatment: The Key to Reducing the Risk of Revictimization" will appear on their website at www.centerforchildwelfare.org. The goal of the center is to distribute accurate and relevant information to achieve practice excellence. The Center's website makes resources constantly available to professionals who are interested in child welfare.
"The Missing Piece in Sexual Abuse Treatment" focuses on those aspects of treatment that are often not routinely addressed. There are four areas that Evelyn believes are essential to cover to reduce the rate of revictimization. Those areas include boundaries, characteristics of the offender, safety issues, and education. Abuse, regardless of the form it takes, deters and alters the normal growth and development of children and for that reason it behooves us as mental health practitioners to hone our skills.

Due a power outage at Ward Consolidated 16, HIFF's opening night film, THE VANCOUVER ASAHI, will be moved to the Regal Dole Cannery Stadium 18, starting at 8:30 PM tonight, Thursday October 30th.

Modifiying WordPress plugin activation behavior
As I continue to work on and debug Yet Another Related Posts Plugin and WP-Smartdate, I've come across an issue where plugin activation fails, but I get no useful error message.
When I try to activate the plugin, I am redirected to a url of the type
/plugins.php?error=true&plugin=...&_error_nonce=.... This redirect just gives me the plugins control panel with my plugin still disactivated, and with no useful error message.1 This apparently is an issue with the Plugin Protection mechanism introduced in WP 2.2. A quick fix (hack) is available on the WP forums.
Here's hoping this helps some people scratching their heads, and that this behavior is reconsidered/fixed in future releases.
Apparently some people get a message like "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error." ↩

In the following weeks, five other members of the expedition, which was funded in part by the National Geographic Society, would do the same, including a successful summit via the then-unclimbed route along the West Ridge. The film takes viewers through the painstaking preparations and the highs and lows of one of mankind's most challenging feats.

Daniel St. Hubert was taken into custody Wednesday night for the stabbing of two young children in Brooklyn. NY1's Ruschell Boone spoke to neighbors, some of whom saw the suspect just minutes before his arrest. She filed the following report. A very soft-spoken Jean Boursiquot says he didn't know Daniel St. Hubert was a wanted man when he confronted him just hours before his arrest.
St. Hubert is the son of Boursiquot's landlord.
Boursiquot says the two men were in her house Wednesday, St. Hubert lying on the couch, when she asked him to tell her son to leave.
Boursiquot says she was afraid to confront him herself, but she didn't want him to miss a meeting she believed he had with his parole officer.
St. Hubert had served time for attempting to kill her.
"She looked like she was scared the way she was talking to me and I said 'No problem' and I said 'Man, get off your butt and go to your [expletive deleted] parole officer.' excuse my language and then he said, Eh." He was sleeping," Boursiquot said.
Boursiquot says St. Hubert left shortly afterward.
"He got up off the sofa then I see him look out the door and be able to see if there is police over here. I said hmm okay you go to take care of business," Boursiquot said.
St. Hubert was arrested a few hours later.
"The street was filled with at leaset 50 detectives and about 10 or 12 unmarked police vehicles and I didn't know what was going on and then I look on the sidewalk and I see them marching the suspect up the street on the sidewalk and he had handcuffs and shackles on and they took him and placed him into the police car vehicle," said neighbor Michael Dowery.
St. Hubert was apprehended a block away from his mother's home.
"He wasn't acting strange," said neighbor Walter Asemote. "Nothing. That's why I was so shocked. You know 15 minute later I saw the cops undercovers. They're all parking in different angles. I was like what's going on around here? Then later I saw the news that this was the same guy I spoke to 15 minutes before the police came."
And that confusion was echoed by many who can't believe their quiet neighborhood has a connection to such a brutal crime.

More than 2,500 Men and Women Participate in the 39.3-mile Walk; 11 Local Breast Cancer Organizations Receive Grants
San Francisco, CA, July 11, 2010 — The eighth annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer season continued with the Avon Walk San Francisco this weekend, which raised more than $5.5 million to advance access to care and finding a cure for breast cancer. The Avon Walk San Francisco, the sixth of nine Avon Walks this year, attracted more than 2,500 participants from 46 states and Washington, D.C. – as well as Australia, Canada and Mexico – including 259 breast cancer survivors, who joined together to raise lifesaving funds and awareness for breast cancer.
During the Closing Ceremony at Fort Mason, one-year breast cancer survivor Marissa Castoro, from San Francisco, spoke movingly about being a single mother battling breast cancer: "Having cancer is incredibly humbling, but also incredibly heartening. And that's why I'm here this weekend, and why my mom and several others walked together as a team -- because we need to build hope for everyone battling breast cancer. I want to be an inspiration to other young survivors who may think they've got the deck stacked against them."
Carol Kurzig, president of the Avon Foundation for Women, announced during the Closing Ceremony a total of $2.75 million in grants to 11 local organizations, ensuring the funds raised immediately benefit the community. More grants are slated to be awarded throughout the year to additional local and national breast cancer programs.
"Our beneficiaries are changing the course of breast cancer - here in San Francisco, across the country, and around the world," said Kurzig. "The Avon Foundation for Women has awarded more than $32 million to breast cancer organizations in Northern California over the years. And the outpouring of support and generosity through the Avon Walks enables us to make substantial and much-needed new grants that will benefit those facing breast cancer here in Northern California and nationwide."
Following are the Northern California grants announced at the Closing Ceremony:
- Shanti Project received $100,000 to support the Shanti's LifeLines Breast Cancer Program to help coordinate breast cancer care for extremely low income and uninsured women in San Francisco. Executive Director Kaushik Roy accepted the award.
- Zero Breast Cancer received $125,000 to continue its efforts to engage the community in breast cancer research to better understand the role genetic and environmental factors may play in breast cancer risk. Community Outreach and Education Coordinator Cassandra Aldsworth accepted the award.
- Six grants further strengthen the Avon Safety Net program, a safety net of more than 100 hospitals across the country that ensure women and men who might otherwise fall through the cracks of the healthcare system have access to high quality breast cancer services. The Safety Net grants include:
- Project Open Hand received $200,000 to support its Homebound Critically ill Program to provide meals, grocery services and education programs for breast cancer patients and their families. Chair of the Board of Trustees Laura Smith accepted the grant.
- Stanford University received $300,000 to support research into the role Bisphenol A (BPA) may play in breast cancer development. Sabrina Fong, Stanford University operations and finance manager, accepted the grant.
- The Avon Comprehensive Breast Center at San Francisco General Hospital, one of the Avon Foundation for Women's eight flagship breast center programs nationwide, received $900,000. The grant will support the mobile mammography van, a high-risk genetic clinic, community outreach and breast cancer research programs. The grant also will fund the Consortium of Underserved BRCA Testers, a multi-institutional program to building capacity to identify and serve underserved women at high risk of hereditary breast cancer. With this grant, the Avon Foundation has awarded more than $20 million to support the center, which has performed more than 48,000 mammograms and more than 3,000 breast health procedures since 2004. Dr. Judy Luce, director of the Avon-San Francisco General Hospital Breast Cancer Center of Excellence, accepted the award.
About the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer San Francisco
During the Avon Walk San Francisco, which is a noncompetitive event, women and men had a choice of walking a marathon (26.2 miles) or a marathon and a half (39.3 miles) over the weekend. The event kicked off Saturday, July 10, with an early morning Opening Ceremony at Fort Mason. Following the ceremony, walkers began their journey, traveling through San Francisco and concluding at the Avon Walk "Wellness Village" at Crocker Amazon Park, a "tent city" complete with two-person tents, hot showers, prepared meals, entertainment, and recreational activities such as the Spa Zone, yoga and Tomboy Tools' "Tool School 101" demonstrations. On Sunday, July 11, walkers completed another 13.1 miles together, ending back at Fort Mason, where thousands of family and friends greeted them and shared in a celebratory and moving Closing Ceremony, including the awarding of new grants.
To participate in the Avon Walk San Francisco, each walker raised a minimum of $1,800 in donations. The Avon Foundation for Women [a 501(c)(3) public charity] raises and manages the funds, which it awards to local, regional and national breast cancer organizations to support five areas of the breast cancer cause, including awareness and education, screening and diagnosis, access to treatment, support services, and scientific research, all with a focus on the medically underserved.
The Avon Walks series launched in 2003 and through mid-2010 the Avon Walks have raised more than $354 million through the dedication of more than 120,000 participating women and men. The Avon Walk San Francisco is the sixth of nine 2010 Avon Walks, following successful events in Houston, TX; Washington, D.C.; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; and Rocky Mountains, CO, that have raised more than $32 million so far.
Donations are still being accepted for the Avon Walk San Francisco and registration is still open for women and men to take part in the remaining Avon Walks of 2010: Santa Barbara, CA (September 11-12); New York, NY (October 16-17); and Charlotte, NC (October 23-24).
To register, donate or for additional information, please visit www.avonwalk.org or call 800-541-WALK. For information on the Avon Foundation visit www.avonfoundation.org.
The Avon Walk for Breast Cancer thanks National Sponsors: Reebok and Genentech BioOncology; and Official Sponsors: Tomboy Tools, Yoga Journal and Otterbox.

NEW YORK (PIX11)—Police in the the Bronx and Queens feel it's a race against time to find a crazed slasher before she finds another victim. A woman described as a light complexioned Hispanic or Black female, between 17 and 25 years old, has already attacked twice.
In the first incident on September 6th, the suspect approached a 19-year-old Hispanic female sitting on a northbound number 4 train. As it pulled into the 170th Street and Jerome Avenue station, she slashed her face with an unknown object, causing what police described as a "serious physical injury."
Six days later it happened again, this time aboard a southbound train at the Mt. Eden station. The victim was an 18-year-old Hispanic female. Police believe the victims were strangers picked at random.
Another incident happened at the Rockaway Parkway station on the A line in Ozone Park. A man ran to the victim and slashed his face. The victim was taken to Jamaica Hospital and needed 30 stitches to close up his wound.
Women getting off the number 4 train told me they are "scared" and have to be more "vigilant" as they ride the train. One rider, Johnny Terrones, told PIX11 he recognized the suspect as someone he knew from the neighborhood. He has shared that information with police. Police say the suspect should be considered dangerous and should not be approached.
People are being asked to call the special police hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
