Submitted: 12/05/2012
- Always use caution when handling weapons. That could be the lesson learned from a self-inflicted shooting near Tomahawk Monday.
66-year-old Charles Lawn of Tomahawk arrived at Ministry Sacred Heart Hospital at 4 p.m. with a gunshot wound.
He was taken to Aspirus Wausau hospital for more treatment.
There, Sheriff's investigators found out Lawn had shot himself in the neck with his .22 long rifle.
He had been hunting rabbits with his friends at the time.
There will be no criminal charges filed at this time.

Greenleaves shining & glowing
She's kinda spotty with e-mail. In any case, I have a freelance project to finish this weekend, and I'd feel more comfortable without the pressure of cleaning and cooking for company. But if she does say yes tomorrow morning, I could still pull it together.
While I was at the writers' retreat I took my hosts OUT for dinner a couple of times. I'm going to say that counts!
But I really prefer entertaining at home, so I will be diligent about planning for that during July.

Alpaca enthusiasts enjoy the first Alpacas Made Simple seminar
Thursday, November 29th, 2012
Issue 48, Volume 16.
The seminar was held at the Roys Alpaca Ranch in Anza.
"I really loved the morning at their alpaca ranch. I was surprised at how beautiful the location is, I had never been in that part of California," remarked Nancy. "I heard about the class at the Vista Fiber Festival. Roy and Julie had a booth and brought two alpacas to that event. The animals shy demeanor and darling little faces melted my heart."
According to Julie Roy, "The morning sessions consisted of practical how tos in setting up the space for alpacas, basic herd management, what to look for in selecting your first alpacas – the fiber and the conformation traits, the multiple streams of income possible with the animals and products.
"We also cover some hands on with toe nail trimming, halter lessons and handling alpacas in the field by the end of the day. I want to thank all who attended our recent Open Ranch Days and to all who expressed an interest in the Alpacas Made Simple all day hands-on seminar for new alpaca enthusiasts."
"The Roys are very knowledgeable about many aspects of raising alpacas and generous with sharing their expertise. The second half of the morning was spent in a hands on session with the animals.
"Even though I was a bit reticent, not having a lot of experience with livestock, Julie encouraged me and I was glad she did. My favorite part was to hand feed Cleopatra, a gorgeous black and white, some pellets. She has a baby soft mouth. When I retire from teaching next June, I hope to buy two or three to Advertisement
The Thompson family learned of the Alpaca experience from an article in the Valley News called "The entrepreneurial path: Alpacas of Anza Valley" printed Friday, Sept. 14, 2012. Their interest pricked and they ventured to Anza to see for themselves at the 5th annual Open Ranch Day in September and caught alpaca fever. They have already stepped into alpaca ownership boarding for now with the Roys and attended the recent seminar.
The Roys Anza Valley alpacas will be hosting one more Open Ranch Day this Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Come experience the alpaca lifestyle and enjoy that feeling of childlike wonder when you meet the babies. There are a lot of new baby alpacas to see. Recently, the Roys experienced their 100th baby born on the ranch. Discover why alpacas are cute, unique, friendly, affordable, and useful pets.
When you visit, if you are interested in the next seminar all about alpacas as a business make sure to sign up, there will be a signup sheet in the Alpaca Christmas Boutique. There you will find quality heirloom items made from the "fiber of the gods." Bring your friends, family, and kids, and dont forget the camera to record the memories. Come shop and play and be careful, for you might catch alpaca fever, too.
To get to the ranch, (from Temecula) take 79 South to Hwy 371, go north 11 miles to Cary Road, turn left and follow the signs. Address is 52700 Ardwell Drive. To contact the Roys, call (951) 763-4222 or Julies cell at (858) 361-6321.

Israel is worse than the White South Africans during Apartheid.
+ time's fickle card game ~ with you and i +
forever 63*
Is it possible to even criticize Israel without being called anti-semitic? One of the reasons I keep my opinion to myself in Israel related news. No matter how inoffensive my stance is, I still think twice before posting. Only issue I do that to. I don't know. Social engineering?
Its perfectly possible (and desirable) to criticize Israel. Without being anti-semitic of course. A bit of anti-whatever isnt a bad thing from time to time.
On the other hand I find it hard to believe they have nothing more important to do than target Palestinian sportsmen.
In my haste and anger, I went overboard by bringing in South Africa. I shouldn't have done that.
However, what is happening to the Palestinian people is heartbreaking for me.
Ashamed to admit that this story had passed me by until I read this thread. It's not as if I've spent the last month in a cave either, as our media seems happy enough to have spent the time reporting on Oscar Pistorius' trial and flooding on the Somerset Levels which, newsworthy as they are, seem to me to pale into insignificance in light of this.
Being of a generation where my youth contained constant warnings about the lessons to be learnt from the horrors of the holocaust I've always given the Israelis a lot of slack when it comes to what might appear to be their paranoia and hair trigger mentality, and just put it down to the fact that just to survive in their part of the globe they have be hard as nails. But this is absolutely disgraceful - even if the Israelis explanation for opening fire were true, and I struggle to believe there is the slightest merit in it whatsoever, what they did is still a war crime - quite frankly if those responsible aren't before the International Criminal Court any time soon then sanctions should be the order of the day
On an incidental point I'd love to know what Barack Obama really thinks of Israel, and indeed what Israel really thinks of him
War crime? What war is that?
oh dear
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left

Crossing Over with YA
Crossover YA Means Older Teen/Younger Adult Characters:
Having a college-aged main character or a senior in high school who find him-or-herself in "adult situations" can mean that older readers will latch onto your story. Though, for the most part, having an older character, in my opinion, can do your YA a disservice. By focusing too much on having the age of the characters match that of your intended audience, you not only risk alienating a wider audience, but you could also lose focus on the story you want to tell vs. the story you think you should tell. Writing what you want should always take precedent. Worry about where characters' ages fall later.(This is also true in deciding on Middle Grade vs. Young Adult.)
But Adults Won't Read Books With Narrators/MCs Under 14:
Tell that to J.K. Rowling, Harper Lee, Jonathan Safran Foer, and Orson Scott Card - to name a few. While J.K. is the only one on that list to have a "true YA premise," the others have proven that just because a character's voice hasn't yet changed doesn't mean it can't still resonate with the big kids.
OK, but back to this "true YA premise" - Won't that alienate adult readers?
Fair point. I'll return to the Harry Potter example from above. Tell the average grown-up that you're reading a book about eleven-year-old wizards who attend a magic school and regularly encounter giants, unicorns, and dragons, and they will probably say, "That's nice, Junior; now go run along and play." Tell the same person you're reading a book about three friends who work together to battle a force of evil responsible for the deaths of the main character's parents, and they might be more inclined to take you seriously. Adjust the general plot for the more fantasy-minded reader, and you have a book they won't want to put down, regardless of age. In other words, a great story is a great story. What a reader chooses to take from isn't always what the author writes intentionally.
My Main Characters Takes a Bunch of Illegal Drugs, Has Sex With Four Different People, and then Murders Someone Within the 1st Thirty Pages. Not exactly the stuff YA is made of.
How old is this drug-taking nympho murderer? Who was murdered and why? Does another teen have to solve the case? Is there a lengthy and potentially boring-for-teens trial? Will the main character learn something about him-or-herself by the end?
The answers to these questions will help you decide which age group this falls under, but never assume that something can't be YA just because of content. There are always contributing factors that make it go one way or another.
A Book Without an Target Reader in Mind Won't Sell
According to my query pile, writers seem very concerned about which section of a bookstore their work will be displayed. I completely understand why writers of crossover YA would be concerned about this. That said, it should in no way effect how you approach writing your novel. Sometimes you will find that given then story you created, the only logical age your characters can be is around nineteen, twenty, or twenty-one. Where they end up in a bookstore, in these cases, is dependent on the nature of the writing and the plot.
So that means I should, like, make my characters talk all YA, even though the plot is epic and totally more appealing and appropriate for people, like, way older?
No. Your characters need to make sense given the situations they are in and the tone you are trying to master. If a teenager is in an adult situation that can only be an adult situation, write their character accordingly.
Fine. But what if my freshman-in-college protagonist and her senior-in-college boyfriend go on a road trip in search of the mother she thought she lost in Katrina, but when they arrive in New Orleans, the only thing they find is... themselves.
Other than having an overly sentimental cliche on your hands, I'd say you have a perfect example of "either/or." In this case, use your instincts. I've given advice to make a character younger or older based on the plot and writing style. Likewise, I've had writers tweak their plot to better suit a younger audience. These minor changes are inevitable when you have this type of novel. But, for the most part, the minor changes are never deal-breakers.
So, what you're saying is I should just write my story and stop freaking out that it's not YA enough or too YA?
Right. Be mindful of a potential audience, keep your story in keeping with the characters, and let the characters adapt to the plot in a way their ages and life experiences would realistically allow. But don't get wrapped up in who's going to read it. Just focus on the story you want to tell.
This, of course, is all easier said than done. The best way to avoid the spiral is to remember to trust your reader while writing, and then trust your agent and editor while trying to publish. Mostly though - trust yourself as a writer to get across what you want to say to the people you want to say it without even trying :)

"Writing what you want should always take precedent. Worry about where characters' ages fall later."ReplyDelete
*flashbacks of many discussions with writing group*
I have about a six-year age gap between the two love leads. OH THE SKETCHINESS. Sketchy or not, it can easily be changed later. Right now, I think it's perfect for the tale.
Good post. Love to hear your opinion on the current state of the market for the 'emerging adulthood' / 'post-adolescent' / whatever the kids are calling it these days type of stories...ReplyDelete
I found this to be an interesting post primarily because...doesn't every adult have an inner child (or young adult)? I personally love YA book for just that reason. I think that this genre easily speaks to all readers, since we've all been there at one point. However, I am speaking as someone who came to Harry Potter as an adult and loved it.ReplyDelete
As an avid Anne of Green Gables fan, I always found it entertaining that all of L.M. Montgomery's books have be religated to the YA shelves even though many of her books feature adult characters. Even Anne grows up and has children over the course of the stories, but she's a mother who is young at heart.
Audiences of all ages will be sharp enough to find quality writing and storytelling despite the shelf it inhabits.
Very interesting post. I think you give wise advice. When we try to write the story someone else wants, I think it shows.ReplyDelete
I love this! Very well said. We need to write the story that is in our hearts, be true to our characters, and it will be what it will be.ReplyDelete
Thank you for setting this issue straight :)ReplyDelete
This post comes just in time. I was debating whether my story would work with my character being 19. If she's 19, it's probably better to accept the situations she gets herself into opposed to being 17...ReplyDelete
I wish there were more crossover YA with older characters and I think that emerging adulthood category will pick up in a few years.
This was a great post, thanks for clarifying things.
To be honest, the genre/readership thing can be a curse for writers — a pair of big ole trousers which don't seem to fit when you try to slip your legs inside.ReplyDelete
With the exception of horror, crime, teen, and graphic novels, most UK bookshelves aren't sorted by genre to the extent I believe those in the US are. It's a very reassuring A to Z to witness when you're having the littysubmitty collywobbles.
Didn't have anything to add to this wonderful post, but then I read Whirlochre's comment and found myself wishing I said things like "the littysubmitty collywobbles." Just thought I'd mention that:)ReplyDelete
I'd like to both piggy-back Krista's comment and steal a bit from Dave Barry at the same time by saying The Collywobbles would be an excellent name for a rock band. That is all.ReplyDelete
Yay! It's so nice to hear an agent say this. When I first started writing, I kept reading all this advice about writing for Young Adult and it was making me all queasy and panicky, but in the end I just took the simplest advice (same thing you said), and went with the story I wanted to write. And I'm really glad I did.ReplyDelete
Great blog!
I'm confused by the subheads in this post. They start out as industry assumptions but then turn into some sort of naive questioner, I can only assume is you, asking leading questions that are getting mocked by the responder, who again I must assume is you.ReplyDelete

Astronaut Grissom letter fails to sell at auction
A letter written by Mercury 7 astronaut Gus Grissom that exposes resentment over the pick of John Glenn as the first American to orbit the Earth has failed to sell at auction.
The October 1961 letter to his mother had a high bid of $13,155 in the online sale run by RR Auction of Amherst, N.H. Before the auction ended Thursday, company officials estimated it could bring $80,000.
A spokesman said Friday that because the minimum price was not offered, the letter was withdrawn.
In the letter, Grissom divulges the flight crew for the first orbital mission. He writes: "All of us are mad because Glenn was picked."
Grissom died with two other astronauts in a launch pad fire while preparing for an Apollo mission in 1967.

8 Stocks Rising on Big Volume
Ixia (XXIA) is a provider of converged IP test systems and services for wireless and wired infrastructures and services. This stock is trading up 4.9% at $16.27 in recent trading.
Today's Volume: 856,000Average Volume: 406,428 Volume % Change: 211% >>8 Big Tech Stocks Leading the Market From a technical perspective, XXIA is trending higher here right off some near-term support at $15.50 with above-average volume. This move is quickly pushing XXIA within range of triggering a major breakout trade. That trade will hit once XXIA clears some past overhead resistance at $15.95 to $16.40 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in XXIA as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $14.55, and then once it sustains a move or close above $15.95 to $16.40 with volume that's near or above 406,428 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then XXIA will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $17.18 to $19.10.

Pandemic Flu and Infectious Disease Prevention
Scientists around the globe continue to warn the public about the risk of a potential pandemic influenza outbreak, which typically strikes three to four times a century. Pandemic flu is caused by a strain of flu virus that is capable of producing severe disease and spreading rapidly person-to-person worldwide. Unlike the seasonal flu, a pandemic flu virus poses a novel threat. Since humans have no previously developed immunity against pandemic flu, this virus strain puts most people at high risk of infection. This could result in a large percentage of the world's population being infected by a rapidly spreading virus in a very short period of time. Though considerable progress has been made in the last few years, much more must be done to prepare for a pandemic.
Experts predict a severe pandemic flu outbreak could result in up to 1.9 million deaths in the United States, approximately 9.9 million Americans needing to be hospitalized, and an economic recession with losses of over $680 billion to the U.S. Gross Domestic Product.
TFAH has outlined recommendations for policymakers on ways to better prepare the country for a possible pandemic outbreak. TFAH issued a series of reports and created the Working Group on Pandemic Influenza Preparedness with more than 40 other organizations. We also created a series of brochures for families, medical providers, businesses, and community leaders who want to learn more about how to prepare for a possible pandemic.

Half of Americans Could Be Obese By 2030… Or We Could Invest In The Prevention Fund
Half of Americans could be obese By 2030...or we could invest in the Prevention Fund. An analysis conducted by the National Heart Forum, based on a peer-reviewed model published last year in The Lancet, estimates that that 50 percent of Americans are on track to be obese in the next 20 years.1 Obesity could even top 60 percent in 13 states. Right now, 36 percent of Americans are obese.
HIV Prevention for Gay Men & Men Who Have Sex with Men: Development of a Comprehensive Policy Agenda
The President released the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (National Strategy) in July 2010 with an aim to reduce new HIV infections, increase access to care for people living with HIV and to reduce HIV-related health disparities in the United States. Although the National Strategy identified several priority populations, the document specifically cited CDC surveillance data that reported that gay and bisexual men are the only population in the U.S. where new cases of HIV are rising. In response, amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research and the Trust for America's Health (TFAH), supported by funding from the M∙A∙C AIDS FUND, convened a meeting of experts on October 26, 2010, to: • Develop a comprehensive public policy agenda to more effectively prevent HIV transmission among gay men and other men who have sex with men (MSM). • Engage HIV/AIDS and gay health advocates to re-think and improve current methods of prevention. • Provide guidance to decision-makers on how to formulate the most effective HIV prevention strategy.

It's been a little more than a year since Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance held a news conference to announce a multi-gang takedown in East Harlem. All but a couple of 63 people busted have been sentenced to multiple years behind bars and now the DA touts a drop in crime. Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.
What families want to see is kids playing safely.
"If you keep to yourself, you'll do okay. Go out here looking for trouble, it will find you," said Indira Branford.
Branford has lived in East Harlem's Johnson houses for 23 years. Like others, she's noticed it's safer recently.
"It's less cliques of people hanging around outside with its safer coming home definitely," said Branford.
Across the street at Taft Houses, inside the People's Barber Shop.
"It was crazy when we first got here," said barber Chris Johnson.
Workers watch what goes on outside.
"Everything is good now," said Johnson.
A couple blocks down at Lehman Houses it's much the same story and the Manhattan District Attorney says that's because the people in the photos above are off the street and in prison.
He says they are members of three gangs, more than 60 in total, who will spend between two and 25 years locked up for crimes ranging from attempted murder to conspiracy.
"I was concerned about violence between gang members that we saw spiking in various neighbor s around gang activity and I'm also concerned about gun activity," said District Attorney Cy Vance.
Vance says the gang roundup in April 2013 netted more than a dozen guns, and built cases by using data to point police at specific offenders.
According to Vance, there has been a 76 percent reduction in overall shootings in East Harlem since the bust.
"What we're doing I believe is working," said Vance.
Vance calls it intelligence driven prosecution. It's similar to COMSTAT started under Police Commissioner Bill Bratton in the 90's.
"It's been around of over a decade but in terms of other agencies like prosecutor's office it's relatively new it really is," said criminal justice expert Maki Haberfeld.
Haberfeld says Vance's method is a good way of working with limited resources, but cautions sometimes criminals notice the change and move.
"Some people just engage in the life of crime no matter what," said Haberfeld.

The Algerian government has extended its tax break on all feed imports, including corn, distiller's dried grains with solubles, and corn gluten feed, until August 2013, according to the U.S. Grains Council.
Algeria removed the value-added tax and duty on all feed imports in September 2012, initially until until December 2012. The VAT and duty for DDGS and CGF had previously been set at 17 percent and 30 percent respectively, resulting in no U.S. DDGS or CGF exports to Algeria. Corn VAT and duty had previously been set at 7 percent and 5 percent.

In a blender ... or maybe that's on the rocks?
Shaken ... not stirred!?
Yeah it's kinda like that lately. One minute I'm cleaning my basement to the point of no return ... and we're talking underneath the couch coushins and everything! Then the next I'm sitting in bed wondering how I'm going to get through until tomorrow. How am I going to survive the next day?
These mixed moods are quite frustrating. Just when you think you're starting to even out you take another dip or get shot up into the air. I don't know whether to go for a long run or sit in my room and watch sappy chick flicks that make me cry?
How do you cope with mixed states? And are these really mixed states or is it just rapid cycling?

To me this is rapid cycling. When I have mixed episodes I am up and down at the same time. I am just as happy to take an OD or go dancing. And I have done both...and it seemed perfectly fine at the time.
Response by Flabbergasted Mom on 8/19/2012 6:34:09 PM
I would say it sounds like rapid-cycling although my psychiatrist is always quick to tell me to avoid "self-diagnosis" and to explain how I feel rather than to pin terminology on it.
There seems to be a lot of that happening lately. A number of my friends are feeling the same way (myself included). I was debating checking to see what position the planets are in to see if it might be at all reflective of the way so many of us are feeling.
Response by holly on 8/19/2012 8:12:38 PM
I have been there, done that. I can only be very thankful that I have a pdoc who listened to me and got me on the right cocktail. Keep on telling your pdoc what is going on, and if you don't get satisfactory results, perhaps it is time to find a new pdoc.
Response by Mardi on 8/19/2012 10:14:36 PM
At first I thought this was going to be about self-medicating with alcohol because that's exactly the way I've been handling my mixed states lately. It seems like I wind up and and grab a drink to try to pull myself back down then once I'm down from the drink I hit rock bottom. All this and I'm not a drinker! Fortunately I've gotten a hold of myself, been straight forward and honest with my pdoc and he's started me on a new med so hopefully I'm on the road to stability, but this summer has been a season of wild white water rafting!

mixed moods has been the story of my life, for the last 4 months. on my job i had came up with a lot of productive ideas and the following weeks i loose all interest also in my personal life. at times when i look forward to listing to music; which i love, after 10 minutes i find myself hating the moment.
Response by Willa Goodfellow on 8/20/2012 3:53:20 PM
Yeah, sounds like rapid cycling to me, too.
I have done mood charting in the past, and haven't been satisfied with the charts out there. First, they reinforce the idea that bipolar is about mood. Mood is just one part! The energy issue is just as important. I created my own chart, so I could track both at the same time. The killer is when mood hits bottom and energy is on top. -- That's a mixed state. That's when I alert my support system and take my rescue med. It was supposed to deal with the anxiety. Turns out it makes me even more depressed, but it zaps my strength and puts me to bed. Better the fetal position than poised at the edge...
Crazy, isn't it.
I'll get that chart up on the blog one of these days.
Response by Kellen on 8/23/2012 8:18:32 AM
Yep, ignorant people do see our actions as crazy, they don't realize that we don't have a choice. We are juggling fire on a day to day basis! I Know what you mean about takling your anti anxiety meds before bed....do you notice a seasonal connection with your mixed states at all? I think anyone with this dissorder that manages to function, have a relationship, go to work every day, be a parent etc... ought to be very proud of themselves. Currently I am doing all 3, but to be honest. I see a lot of "crazy" people out in the world who have no idea that their behavior is unhealthy....just sayin'.
I think I am in mixed states most of all, I have heard my doc refer to it as aggitated depression and I remember my Father having it, of course he didn;t get treatment till the the last 10 years of his life but those were probably his best 10 years. Thanks for posting.

You know you can live with bipolar and become successful have a meaningful life allowing you to enjoy life again. I've been in the hospital for mental illness several times since I was 15 which at that time they thought it was adolescents. It was not. It was much more than that but during that time they treated it with only one type of medication. As time has passed we have medication that has been improved to allow people with mental illness some stability in their lives.
I'm not sure why people have such a hard time with someone with mental illness. It's very real and it affects not just us but all of the individuals around you, especially your family. I believe it wasn't for my understanding family I would not be where I am and doing the things that I have successfully completed. Like going back to college at the age of 37 and graduated this past year with my Associates Degree in Computer Information and Office Systems. Something I never dreamed would happen once I quit going to college out of high school. It seemed like an impossible goal.
The breakdown in mental illness is that not everyone has a good support system allowing them to recover and get back on their feet. Your support system does not have to be family members. It could be a close friend, a co-worker, a church member, a counselor or a doctor.
You need someone to get you started in your day. Reminding you and encouraging you to get out of bed, take a shower, eat, occupying your time without dwelling on your illness. You need someone to advocate for your recovery and help you find the resources you need to be successful in your recovery. My mother is my rock as well as our families rock. My father and both my brother's also have Bipolar. We have all been in and out of hospitals trying to deal with our illness as well as trying to recover from episodes when they happen. I cannot stress enough to others and doctors need to listen that sometimes you have to go back to a kindergarten state of mind to help people who are in the depths of depression or slowing you down in a manic episode.
Just a little help in your everyday tasks makes a huge difference in someone who has a bipolar illness. I only wish more people understood and were not afraid of it. As long as people have a misconception of what a mental illness is; such as bipolar and are not educated on the facts there will always be a stigma to a person having a mental illness.
I hope that this helps just one other person that is going through what I've gone through and will allow them to have some hope. It's really about educating yourself and others in addition to having someone advocate for you even when the littlest tasks seem insurmountable. You can live a good life be happy and self satisfied that you can overcome a mental illness. Not that it goes away completely but you can manage the symptoms and lead a life of success.
Response by Marybeth on 8/26/2012 5:11:02 PM
Thanks for your responses. It's a frustrating time when one feels mixed like that ... and yes I too am guilty of turning to a nice glass of wine to even me out. But we all know how that usually turns out! LOL. Probably the reason I'm rapid cycling in the first place!

Check out the forums, you'll see that the Serato Scratch Live by Rane is way more reliable and easier to use than earlier digital/vinyl interfaces. Using regular turntables or CD players, you can scratch and mix files from your Mac or Windows XP computer's CD or hard drive, add in a live mic input for scratching, and even bypass to standard vinyl if you wish. The Rane Serato's unique control screen gives you unprecedented realtime side-by-side visual command with color-coded frequencies so you can distinguish bass and snare hits for flawless beat matching. You can even control song selection from the vinyl.
The Rane Scratch Live SL 1 interface connects one or two standard vinyl or CD turntables to your computer. This extremely rugged, portable, high quality, bus-powered USB interface features 2 switchable phono or line inputs, a microphone input, 2 line outputs, and pass thru outputs for the phono/line and mic.
The included 12" vinyl records each have a Serato exclusive control signal which allows Scratch Live to track the motion of the record, simulating the same movement with digital audio. Due to Serato's proprietary control scheme, the result is a feel and sound indistinguishable from playing vinyl. As a producer and DJ, the track you finished today can be played on a real turntable tonight. You'll never have to cut a dubplate again!

World Development Report 2004 (WDR) –Making Services Work for the Poor Consultation with Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in BrusselsThursday, March 13, 2003The World Bank (WB) held a consultation with CSOs in Brussels on March 13, 2003 as part of the global consultations on the World Bank's annual publication the World Development Report (WDR) 2004: "Making Services Work for Poor People".The consultation began with a presentation of the WDR outline by Mr Steve Commins (SC) from the WB's WDR team, followed by a round of questions by the different participants (please find list of participants attached).SC began by thanking everyone for participating in the session. He then gave an overview of the WDR, highlighting its strengths, weaknesses, limitations and aspirations:The WDR has a long history and its ethos has evolved over time. Its processes came under scrutiny and were widely criticised in the 1990's, the fundamental criticisms were with regard to purpose of the report, as well as ownership and participation in the process of drafting the report.More recent reports have recognised these criticisms and have sought to ensure increased participation in the report-drafting process. There is a clear appreciation that the WDR process is not aimed only at producing a book, a crucial part of it, is engagement with development partners, including donors and CSOs. Conversations and inputs from various stakeholders have shaped the process of understanding of what it means to make basic services work for the poor.The various stages in writing the WDR were explained. It was noted that an e-dialogue will be managed by Public World http://www.publicworld.org/ on behalf of the WDR in April and May.Another critical issue highlighted was what will happen to the end product. Various mechanisms to ensure the WDR does not just sit on people's shelves have been created. These include:An agreement with the World Bank Institute to create a CD ROM which will contain all background papers, criticisms and dialogue in the process of creating the report, with accompanying study and reference guides;Structuring the World Bank Development Market Place around the same theme. The objective of the Development Marketplace is to identify and fund the most innovative ideas in development from around the world. The theme for DM2003 is Making Services Work for Poor People. The window for proposal is open from Monday March 3 through to May 2, 2003. (more information can be found at ; www.developmentmarketplace.org
Human Development Week 2003 in September will focus on this theme as well;SC explained the thinking behind the WDR 2004. There is a recognition that the title of the 2004 report deals with 2 core issues: Making Services work and making services work for poor people.SC continued by stating that 3 relationships are seen as key in the delivery chain: the relationship between poor people and service providers; between poor people and policy makers and between policy makers and service providers. It was noted that the relationship between policy makers and service providers is more than a monetary relationship. A critical issue is how do you motivate the provider and yet allow flexibility. The reality that donors have different roles in different countries was also acknowledged. The issue of donors undermining development aims is one which must not be taken for granted.SC mentioned that the WDR approach is "12 sizes fits all" and that the approach to be taken varies from country to country. He stated that the starting premise is that these services are public services for reasons of equity, market failure and justice. Some organizations read the original WDR 2004 outline as criticizing the failures of the public sector in order to promote greater privatisation, but the message of the WDR is that there are no fixes, whether privatisation or technical adjustments.Following SC's presentation there was a lively question and answer session.Participants Comments/Questions:The issue of the relationship between the environment and development was raised, and the implications of a future climate change regime be it via emissions trading or otherwise for development and diversion of funds from development to environment as environmental obligations are increasingly being regarded as part of funding for development. (Climate Network Europe)Is more emphasis going to be placed on making services work, or making services work for the poor and why does the WDR not place emphasis on consultation with the poor? (ATD Quart Monde)Does the definition of 'policy makers' as used in the WDR include international Institutions such as the WTO (GATS) and if consideration is given to the lack of coherence between various institutional actors. (Broederlijk Delen)What role is envisaged by the WDR for private participation in service delivery when the state has failed. (Aga Khan Foundation)?
Why is provision of services to failed or Conflict states not addressed by the WDR? (International Crisis Group)Would the World Bank and IMF be ready to change their policies in the event that debt servicing obligations impinged on the ability to make services work for the poor? (World Vision)Would the issue of brain-drain and its implications for service delivery be included in the WDR? It was suggested that provision of incentives to local service providers such as decent accommodation and salaries might help reduce this trend. In addition the causes of developed country personnel refusing to provide these services have to be addressed?.(The Quaker Council for European Affairs)How does the WDR envisage these services would be paid for? Would the use of taxation as a means of raising revenue be included? Some CSO representatives noted the benefit of user fees, as it helps in ensuring accountability and sustainability, for example the existence of a system of collecting user fees may have prevented the closure of Marie Stopes outlets in Tanzania it was argued.(Marie Stopes International)A representative from wanted to know why the issue of Reproductive Health was left out of the outline for the WDR. (Marie Stopes International)Was the role of Northern CSOs as providers of support to southern CSOs be mentioned in the WDR? (The Quaker Council for Europe)What is the Bank's position on creating Endowment Funds? (Aga Khan Foundation)A CSO representative mentioned he appreciated the distinction made between service provider and policy maker. (Caritas Europa)Why was rights based language not used in the WDR ? (Caritas Europa)The WDR overview was criticised for starting from the premise that poor people can always make a choice i.e. "vote with their feet", whilst in actual fact this is less often the case. What would the ideal impact of WDR as envisaged by the World bank be? (World Vision)Too poor to be sick! SC was asked his opinion as to what you can do when people were in debt due to payment for health services e.g. in Cambodia were girls are sent out to do "house keeping" (World Vision) Participants noted the need for earlier consultation with CSOs on the WDR and other donor reports.The issue of how to balance how money is spent with each countries' right to determine its own sustainable development was highlighted as a difficulty. (Climate Network Europe)
ResponseWith regard to the environment and development funds, SC stated that there are concerns about the 'crowding out' effect of global funds and a growing awareness that these funds can work to reduce government ownership as well as lessen citizen participation and ownership.As some services do not work at all, the starting point is getting them to work. With regard to access for the poor, it is appreciated that poverty is more than economic poverty and a major issue is one of social exclusion.With regard to privatisation, views vary within the World Bank as well as other donor agencies on the best mix of providers. The WDR position is that it depends on the particular country context, the public sector's current role and capacity, the particular service. The starting point for the WDR is that more privatisation is not a solution---some countries or services should have greater public provision, others more by CSOs or for profit providers. The WDR tries to work from its framework of relationships rather than fixed answers.With regard to conflict or failed states, it was acknowledged that the international community had not done a good job in such countries and that aid was often times based on false premises. However the LICUS (Low Income Countries Under Stress) group within the World Bank was trying to document experiences and guide improved approaches to service delivery for greater impact in such countries. The WDR matrix on '12 sizes' does include LICUS type countries.The envisaged impact of the WDR includes working with development organization staff in shifting away from thinking primarily of technical issues to balanced with consideration of institutional issues.The WDR process (including consultations with CSOs) will allow for an assessment of issues pertinent to making services work for the poor as articulated by various stake holders.CSOs need to present the argument and create awareness on the implications of debt servicing to service delivery.The draft WDR does contain a section on brain-drain, however, it must be recognised that provision of services in rural areas is affected by deeply imbedded issues of gender, ethnic and racial exclusion.
With regard to user fees, the position taken was not one totally opposed to user fees in all the services under consideration, nonetheless in education and certain basic health services a negative relationship had been shown between service delivery to the poor and user fees. Taxation is dealt with in the draft WDR. He reiterated that the starting point of the WDR is that provision of essential services is a public responsibility for reasons outlined in the report.The section of the Glossary which explains the use of the term CSO instead of NGO explains the relationship between Northern and Southern CSOs.With regard to the particular role of the Report, it was again noted that the WDR is not a statement of the World Bank's policy.With regard to rights-based language, the historical the view has been that the use of any rights-based language could be viewed as overtly political and therefore outside the Bank's mandate. However through the Bank's dealing with UN partners and other International actors, the Bank is increasingly discussing rights-based development without necessarily using rights-based language.While the report does not address the issue, reproductive health is seen as fundamentally important by the World Bank in many of its programs.Mr Commins noted that he was not very familiar with Endowment funds and would appreciate more information on CSOs position on this issue.

Jeff Vaughn Out, Jeff Goldblatt In at KENS
Just a week after saying goodbye to WMAQ in Chicago, Jeff Goldblatt has been announced as the new primary anchor at KENS in San Antonio.
"I'm very pleased to have someone of Jeff's experience not only on the anchor desk but on the reporting front," KENS president and general manager Bob McGann said in a statement. "He has tremendous experience covering national and international stories."
Goldblatt replaces Jeff Vaughn, who was let go from the CBS-affiliate last week, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
"I was disappointed," Vaughn said. "I'm sad I'm not going to do news there anymore … but I'm ready for the next chapter, and happy to spend time with my son." Read more

Ariel Tsuchiyama felt bad, more than anything.
Two years ago, amidst a breakout sophomore season at Cal State Fullerton, the Titans' catcher hurt her throwing shoulder, but played through the pain. And, despite the injury, she nabbed All-Big West Second Team honors at season's end.
"(The pain) grew over time," said Tsuchiyama, who hit .297 with 13 extra-base hits and 12 runs batted in. "It was just wear and tear, and then, it finally hit me."
When an offseason attempt to recover naturally proved unsuccessful, the backstop underwent shoulder surgery in November 2011.
The ensuing rehab, which consisted of light weightlifting and exercise drills three days a week, forced Tsuchiyama to redshirt last season.
"I came in, started as a freshman and sophomore, and had a good connection with everybody," she said. "It was so hard just sitting there, watching all last year.
"I knew I had a lot to contribute, and I felt bad that I couldn't help my team."
This season, with a clean bill of health, Tsuchiyama has regained her pre-surgery form, and then some.
To date, she leads CSF with a .328 batting average, 20 hits and 14 runs batted in.
Defensively, she has committed only one error in 121 total chances, and has caught seven of 20 attempted base-stealers.
"I'd never sat out, ever, in my whole career," she said. "(Sitting out) definitely made me want to come back stronger. My goal was to pick up where I left off; almost like last year never happened."
A four-time All-Freeway League, two-time All-CIF selection at Sonora High, Tsuchiyama established her worth both behind and at the plate.
As a senior, the La Habra native touted a .992 fielding percentage to compliment a .446 batting average.
"High school was more laid back and fun," said Tsuchiyama, also a travel ball veteran. "I wasn't worried about getting recruited or winning games and tournaments.
"I just went out there and enjoyed myself, and that helped my success."

FinSpy which is sold for use only in criminal investigations, the two came across evidence that it was being used to target political dissidents. The software can grab images of computer screens, record Skype chats, turn on cameras and microphones and log keystrokes. The two men said they discovered mobile versions of the spyware customised for all major mobile phones. It is designed to elude anti-virus software made by Kaspersky Lab, Symantec, F-Secure and others.
They have found it being used in Turkmenistan, Brunei and Bahrain, although no government acknowledges using the software for surveillance purposes. FinSpy is made by the Gamma Group, a British company that says it sells monitoring software to governments solely for criminal investigations. But protesters crashing through Egypt's state security headquarters discovered a document that appeared to be a proposal by the Gamma Group to sell FinSpy to the government of president Hosni Mubarak for $353,000.
Martin Muench said the Gamma Group sold FinSpy to governments only to monitor criminals and that it was most frequently used "against paedophiles, terrorists, organised crime, kidnapping and human trafficking". But Marquis-Boire and Marczak looked at some suspicious emails sent to three Bahraini activists. They discovered all the emails contained spyware that reported back to the same command-and-control server in Bahrain. The spyware was monitoring Bahraini activists who had no criminal history.
Since publishing their findings, Marquis-Boire and Marczak started receiving malware samples from other security researchers and from activist groups that suspected they may have been targets. In several cases, the two found that the samples reported back to websites run by the Gamma Group. But other samples appeared to be actively snooping for foreign governments.

I Heart Adoption Profile
About us
We first met around ten years ago, while salsa dancing one evening during a work-related trip to Peru. After that trip, we began working together and have developed a deep love and respect for each other. We celebrated our wedding with family and friends in Switzerland, and we have been happily married for more than five years. We consider ourselves very lucky that we found each other. We are open, caring, and fun-loving adults who have traveled to all corners of the world. We are now happily settled in California and cannot wait to welcome a baby into our family. Ken is a pediatrician and university professor, and Sonja is a nutritionist and research scientist. We have both dedicated our careers to improving the health and nutrition of young children in low-income countries. We will both reduce our work schedules so we will be at home to spend lots of quality time with our little one!
Sonja by Ken
Sonja is a creative and caring person. She started babysitting when she was very young and loves spending time with children. Sonja is the type of person who lights up a room, and our friends' young children naturally gravitate towards her. I am eagerly anticipating raising a family with her. Sonja grew up in Zurich, Switzerland. Her native language is Swiss German and she speaks English and several other languages fluently. She plans to speak both English and Swiss German with our child. She loves the sun and lifestyle of California and plans road trips as often as possible. She also loves returning to Europe each year to visit with family and friends.
Ken by Sonja
Ken is a very intelligent and honest man who cares deeply about people and social justice. He has traveled the whole world and is as comfortable in a rural village in Latin America as he is at home. He has even been invited to Thailand by the royal princess, who presented him an award for his work with children! Ken constantly comes up with novel ideas and gets excited about new projects. He loves to cook and take care of his family and friends. Ken has a great relationship with his son Rajan and daughter Jazmin, who continue to stay in close communication with their "Pa." He'll be an excellent dad to our child.
Our home
Several years ago we moved to the countryside just outside Fairfield, California, which is close to the San Francisco Bay Area. Our home is always open to visitors for a barbecue in our backyard and for our many friends who travel through California. Our dog, Franklin, loves running around the large garden, which will be a perfect place for our child to play ball, dig in the soil, enjoy a tree house, or just imagine. We live in a small friendly farming community. We are looking forward to going for bike rides with our child to visit ponies, donkeys, and many other farm animals in the neighborhood. Our house is only a few hundred yards from an excellent school, and we are close to the town of Fairfield, which has playgrounds, mini-golf, a movie theater, and shops to explore together with our child.
