Holding Hands
I wrote this as a My Story submission, and then found out it was 1000 words too long. So, I will post it here instead.
A branch had fallen on someone's car, someone who mattered, and the governor of Phnom Penh was outraged at the tree's impertinence. To reassert his mastery over all things living, he ordered the tall trees in Phnom Penh to be cut down: hundred year old Cannonball Trees were felled outside the temples; Bhoddi Trees with trunks fat as elephants were taken apart until they were nothing but a stump wide enough for a family to sit on and eat their dinner. The sidewalks got hot; no one could walk along the riverside anymore for the dust and the sun.
The National Museum, an elegant historic building across the street from my house, dug in its heels and refused to chop the trees to the base. The foliage protected the wine coloured walls of the museum and offset the golden spires of the Royal Palace nearby. But the governor is not one to accept resistance and one by one they cut off the tops and the branches, leaving naked trunks and worn out wood siding exposed on the shrunken museum.
Every day, I make my way to a group of young adults that I train to be community leaders, yoga teachers and entrepreneurs. And each day, I pass by men with power saws and bandanas over their faces to get to the yoga center that is lush with foliage, fruit and birds. Children come to the studio from slums for weekly Kids Yoga classes and poke at the guppies that live in the fish ponds in the front yard after class. Teenagers from an organization that cares for young women rescued from human trafficking circles come for yoga therapy to reclaim ownership their bodies. These young people arrive at the studio for the first time bundled up in jackets and long trousers to protect themselves from the world, and after a few weeks can do backbends and shoulderstands, they are stretching out their arms and legs without feeling endangered, and they are confident and beautiful in sleeveless shirts and shorts. 250 kids come to yoga every week to reclaim their right to grow.
I train a group of young adults, aged 17-28, to teach these classes. To open space for others to grow, first they have to manage their own pain and fears; and as an optimistic young yoga teacher myself, I was sure that yoga could help them build their capacity to open to their darknesses and let these pains out of their bodies and minds. As a team, we spent as much time talking about mental and spiritual healing as we did practicing physical postures and breathing, and one day a door opened for Rattana, 19 years old, and she told me about being raped by her cousin when she was nine. She pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around her legs and told me that when she was fourteen she was sick to death of seeing her family miserable with poverty, and she felt sorry for her mother who always tried to make it work and never made it work. She went to a brothel to borrow some money to help the family, and established terms of repayment, and every time she got close to paying off her debt they told her she owed more.
Rattana's voice went from soft to loud, and her eyes were tearing but she kept speaking, increasingly oblivious to the people around her—myself and two other girls she lives with at Transitions Global—and I was beginning to understand why it was so hard for her to speak gently to others or touch the kids with kindness when giving adjustments. She talked with increasing rapidity as if to get it all out; she talked of gang rape, when two young men hired her for the night and then took her to a cemetery where eight of their friends were waiting. I understood where the cigarette burns on her thighs came from. She said the police raided the brothel when she was sixteen years old and they threw her in jail with criminals and they beat her for being a broken girl and then she was picked out by an NGO and sent to live with other girls who reminded her of herself: miserable, angry and used up. She leaned her head on her arms; the other girls in the room with comparable stories had blank faces, one clutched at her temples and said she had a headache. Then Rattana looked up and said she had a new life now, it was like one book was closed and a new one was open and everything was changed. She had a new family at Transitions, she had a job, she had respect, she was a new person now.
I spent the rest of the week in a daze of information delivered to me first-hand from a kid I know and love. I handled it like they do: I tried to put it away, there was nothing else to do about the images I now had in my head, and they interfered with the work that I had to do, and I could not afford to let my own confusion and weakness show to these young people who trusted me to lead them somewhere safe. I made it through the week and on my day off I laid out my yoga mat at home, and stretched and cried.
While I was on the mat, the chainsaws across the street started up again; they had been silent all week. They had pruned all the lesser trees back to their trunks and that morning they started on the biggest one with the squirrels and helicopter pods that would fly in through my writing room window. I had been telling myself that they would not be cutting that one; surely the beauty of that particular tree was too much even for them to miss; surely someone would take note at some point of the value of life in this city of poverty , barbed wire, rust and wretchedness. The bandana-faced men went up in machines and spent the greater part of the day sawing off branches thicker than my body and letting them crash to the earth. There were no birds anymore, the sky looked naked and raw, and every time they put their saws into wood I heard the screech and groan that is the negation of life, the destruction of innocence that comes not from hatred but from blindness. Every branch they cut was to my ringing ears the sound of boys in this country raping my girls, unable to see life in the bodies they push down, unable to see the beauty in their faces. Humanity without sensitivity to beauty, beings without the ability to cherish life, are machines; cold, growling, insensible power tools that let colour and life crash to the ground.
My girlfriend came over to my house that day and held my hand. I told her what I heard outside my window, behind the curtains pulled across in futile attempt to stop the growing exposure of empty sky. She held my hand and I cried. She didn't say anything to try and make me feel better, because there is no feeling better when you see human beings erasing life from this planet, draining it out of nature and from other human beings. She held my hand and she sat with me and she shared with me her love. And that is all I can do for my girls, too; I cannot heal them, I cannot cleanse their minds and bodies of the knowledge they have incurred by being born girls into a poor society. I can hold their hands, though, and share with them my love, and I can believe that like the trees outside my window, these girls will grow their leaves back and over time, a long time, a lifetime, they will grow new branches and they will fill the sky.
new growth
Your entry is so sad and beautiful at the same time. I love the way you showed how these young women are strong powerful trees. They are deep rooted and powerful, even amidst the injustice of this world. My favorite part is the last sentence, " I can hold their hands, though, and share with them my love, and I can believe that like the trees outside my window, these girls will grow their leaves back and over time, a long time, a lifetime, they will grow new branches and they will fill the sky."
You show exquisite imagery and connection to Cambodia, nature and the people that surround you. What a thought filled, breathtaking entry.
On a side note, I worked and lived in Phnom Penh last year, and I know the places you speak of. It makes me incredibly sad to hear that they are cutting down so many of the old, magnificent trees.
I also am sure that I came to your yoga studio. You are doing amazing work, I am moved by your powerful words and thoughts, and I am inspired by the work you do at your studio. It is a lovely, sacred place. Keep practicing, sharing, and believing that growth means new leaves will bloom.
all good things,
Yes, this one...
Thanks so much for pointing me toward this one, Isabelle, after I read the shorter version that you entered in "My Story." You're right, this version hits home at a more vivid and personal level. The one thing I missed most in the shorter story was that I wanted to hear something more about Rattana, just some little detail. She was painted very intimately here. It was also compelling to hear why the trees were being torn down in the first place. How sad that so many humans find it easier to destroy than to nurture growth. Thanks again for this sorrowful, yet ultimately beautiful and hopeful story. Your students are lucky to have you.

U.K. Chemical Industry Feels Heat of 50% Carbon Cuts (with Ineos update)
7:57 AM MDT | May 19, 2011 | Alex Scott
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA; London) says the U.K. government's announcement to cut carbon emissions in the country 50% by 2025 from a baseline year of 1990 would damage the chemical industry. The CIA says transitional support measures must be effective or industries that make carbon saving products would be "wiped out." The government has promised a support package for industry to cope with the new environmental regulations and says it will unveil detailed plans later this year. CIA's CEO Steve Elliott...

It was a rainy day, which meant it was a perfect day to talk about agriculture.
More than 100 farmers, lenders, and educators attended the Farm Financial Seminar put on by the CVTC Agriculture, Food & Natural Resources programs. The event was held to explore management strategies needed to be successful given the current financial climate and how to be successful in the future.
Invited speaker, Dr. David M. Kohl, came to the event with a great sense of humor and lots of enthusiasm. For 25 years, David was a Professor of Agricultural Finance and Small Business Management at Virginia Tech. He has traveled over 8 million miles throughout his career, conducting over 6,000 workshops for agricultural groups. David is one of the leaders in establishing guidelines for standardized reporting and analysis of agricultural producers' financial information on a national and international basis. "There are more opportunities in the agriculture arena in the next 10 years than there have been in the last 30 years," David comments. "But that also means that there is more opportunity to fail. That means it will take an accelerated type of management to excel in that type of economy." David talked about how the model of farming will change, through the use of energy and how demographics of the typical farm is changing. "70% of farms today will change hands between now and 2025. There are more women taking over, and the average age is much younger than ever before." Overall, David gave an honest and realistic view of what agriculture will look like in the future. "With the right business model and smart financial decisions, you can be very successful in this field. I want that for everyone." Mark Denk, instructor with the Agriscience program reflected on the event. "One of my students said it best when he said that the presentation hit a home run and those who didn't attend, missed out. I hope this presentation gives producers the knowledge and vision to position their farm business for the future."

Team ABC put in a great showing at The Spot Bouldering Series Gladiator Final last weekend. Over 30 ABC kids competed in the youth and adult sessions, and 5 qualified to compete in the open final! Matt Lubar actually qualified for the men's open final as well, but he tweaked a muscle a bit during the redpoint round and he decided to rest up for upcoming nationals, so he opted out. In his place Remi Arata was the 8th man to compete in Open Finals. For the women, Megan Mascarenas qualified in first overall, Margo Hayes qualified in 4th, Isabelle Goodacre qualified in 5th, and Laurel Todd qualified tied for 7th with The Spot's Tika Anderson.

Team ABC at Psychedelia!
Many Team ABC athletes competed at The Spot Bouldering Series' black light comp, Psychedelia, on October 20th. This event happens every year and is a ton of fun as The Spot puts up all kinds of cool features to climb on, everybody wears costumes, and the tape art is fantastic!
This year 4 Team ABC athletes climbed well enough to compete in the single open final problem. Isabelle Goodacre, Laurel Todd, Margo Hayes, and Matt Lubar all got in to the 6-person, 4 minutes per climber finals. The problems were crazy–the men's went up several large volumes on the front of the Font boulder, and the women's went through two hanging dog bones and across a rolling tube on the front of the Hueco boulder.
Isabelle and Laurel both climbed through the dog bones and tube and fell trying to hold a difficult swing to hold 10. Margo fell her first try on the first move, then got back on and made it through the problem to the top out. The crowd went crazy. First-place qualifier Nina Williams came out after Margo and also sent the problem in two tries, taking first as she qualified higher than Margo. Margo got 2nd, and Spot Team Coach Tiffany Hensley took 3rd. Laurel took 4th, Isabelle 5th, and Hailey Bridgewater 6th.
For the men, Matt Lubar was the first competitor to top out the boulder and the crowd went wild. First place qualifier Ben Hoberg also finished the problem, putting him in first and Lubar in 2nd. Greg Setiz took third. More here: Psychedelia 2012 Pro Final Results « The Spot Route Setting Blog

The Gun Show at The Spot!
Team ABC competed at The Gun Show – the first comp in the Spot Bouldering Series 8. We were proud to have 6 representatives in the 12 person Open Final.
Megan Mascarenas qualified in 1st and ended up in 2nd after falling on the strange first move a few times. Once she did the move she hiked the problem, but it wasn't enough as 2nd place qualifier Nina Williams flashed the final.
Margo Hayes qualified in 3rd and ended up in 3rd.
Laurel Todd qualified in 6th and ended up in 6th.
Great job girls!
Coach Rob qualified in 3rd and ended up in 3rd.
Elite Team Athlete Michael O'Rourke qualified in 4th and ended up in 4th.
Coach Garrett qualified in 5th and ended up in 5th.
Nice job guys!
The Gun Show had a BBQ and a dunk tank where kids had a chance to dunk their coaches. Coach Ryan was a great sport and sat on the platform as most of Team ABC took a shot at dunking him.

Team ABC in Hueco November 2011 – Update – we forgot Coach Didier!
Fourteen athletes and
two three coaches of Team ABC spent a long week around Thanksgiving pulling down in Hueco Tanks, Texas. With the whole Rock Ranch house to themselves, the kids had a blast hanging out and climbing on North and on tours to East and East Spur with Rock Ranch Guides Nikias Kiehnle, Mogli Rios, Jackie Hueftle, and athlete, coach, and longtime Hueco climber Brian Antheunisse. Here is a short wrap-up with some highlight sends from the trip:
The trip started off well with quick sends of Un Pointe De Bleau Dans Hueco (V11) by Margo Hayes, Brooke Raboutou, Shawn Raboutou, and Megan Mascarenas (who flashed the problem).
Megan, who is 14 years old and just began entering and winning adult pro events like the Yank n' Yard and The Spot Gun Show and The Spot Psychedelia, also sent Purple Flowers (V11), Fern Roof (V10) and Bush League (V10). She did her first V11 this summer at Mount Evans, Colorado, when she sent the compression line Mirror Mask (low start).
Shawn, who is now 13, sent his first V11 last year in Hueco and has done a couple since then. This trip to Hueco was his best bouldering trip yet, with a send of Chablanke (V11/V12), a quick send of Sunshine (V11), a flash of Fern Roof (V10), and a two day ascent of The Butterpumper (guidebook V12, now considered soft due to kneebar beta, though Shawn's method was certainly unconventional and seemed quite difficult. To compare, Sunshine took him a handful of tries, but Butterpumper took two sessions before he sent, so for him it was certainly more difficult. Also, Shawn used some serious non-holds for his right hand low on the problem when he was unable to reach through to the high rt hand edge that without doing a few bump moves. He said that for him Chablanke and Butterpumper felt of similar difficulty).
For Brooke, age 10, Un Pointe De Bleau was her first V11. She also sent the V10 Dead Serious after reclimbing the top (Mr. Serious, V8, that she'd sent previously), quickly working the bottom out, and, after a short rest, sticking the campusy bottom moves and sending. Brooke had a little more trouble with Sunshine, and ended up falling near the end of the problem on her second day after a difficult first day of finding a way through the reachy bottom section.
Margo Hayes, 13, has also been to Hueco before, and this trip she managed to flash Fern Roof (V10) on top of her send of Un Point De Bleau (V11). She also put in some good efforts on Sunshine, but was unable to send before dark on the last day of the trip. (On a previous trip to Hueco she made an impressive flash of Mangum (V9) among other sends.)
Fifteen-year-old Stefan Lavender did the V11 Flower Power, the V10 variation Purple Flowers, and Fern Roof, as well as several classic moderates like New Religion Sit (V8).
Matt Lubar, 16, was on his first Team ABC trip to Hueco and he had a blast, sending Fern Roof as well as many of the classics like New Religion (V7), New Religion Sit, and Better Eat Your Wheaties (V8/9). He was also quite close to both his first V11, falling near the end of both Flower Power and Dark Age.
Austin Lankford, 14, had a great trip, with his first guidebook V12, Dirty Martini On The Rocks (the grade is in dispute due to new beta and the problem is widely considered to be somewhere between V9 and V11) as well as Fern Roof. Austin also got painfully close to sending Un Pointe De Bleau and Sunshine, falling from the final move of Sunshine after his first day's effort on it. Just six months ago Austin did his first outdoors V8 at Joe's Valley, so this trip certainly represented great progress for him.
Isabelle Goodacre, 13, did Beer Can Traverse (V9) and, like Austin, came quite close to sending Sunshine. She was also close to sending Fern Roof but was bouted by rain.
Laurel Todd, also 15, climbed Fern Roof and Better Eat Your Wheaties. Her sister Ivy, 12, did Your Brain on Drugs (V9).
Kiana Ellis, 12, came close to Your Brain on Drugs and hopes to send next trip.
Timmy Dolan, 11, did Wheaties (V8/9), and Malcolm Oliver, 13, did the difficult classic Lobster Claw (V5). Fourteen-year-old Jaime Cantarovici, on his first trip to Hueco, climbed many easier classics including some cool variations on the Kid's Stuff wall.
Coach Garrett Gregor had an amazing trip, with sends of Crown of Aragon (V13), Shaken not Stirred (V12), Butterpumper (V11/12), Un Pointe De Bleau, Sunshine, Flower Power, and Bush League. Garrett has climbed many V12s and V13s and said that he felt Butterpumper was quite hard.
Robyn Erbesfield-Raboutou was not far behind, with sends of Un Pointe De Bleau, Sunshine (one session), Fern Roof, Bush League, and the last problem she hadn't done on the right side of the Serious wall, Serious Legends (V9).
Update! - We regret that we previously forgot to mention that Coach Didier also came along on the trip. Besides providing much-needed entertainment and driving the big white van, he spent 4 days coaching on North Mountain helping kids up climbs with his combination of super spotting, sage advice, and a healthy sense of humor. The trip wouldn't have been the same without him–thanks Coach Didier!
The team then headed home to prepare for The Spot's Highline Highball Comp in Boulder on December 3rd and the ABS Regional Championships at Miramont Lifestyle Fitness in Fort Collins on December 10th. For more check out these links:

10 Most Union-Made Cars In America
Cadillac CTS
Assembled: Lansing, Mich.
NHTSA percentage made in the U.S.: 70%
The base model comes with a 270-horsepower, 3.0-liter V6 engine but can be bumped up to a 318-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 just for kicks. The standard-bearer of American luxury vehicles also throws in a whole lot of perks, including headlights that adapt to your speed and turning angle, rear backup camera, leather seating, wood trim, a pop-up 8-inch GPS screen that connects to voice control and a 10-speaker Bose stereo system. If you're willing to splurge for the $65,000 CTS-V, your reward is a 556-horsepower, 6.2-liter V8 engine that takes you from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds. This beast was a problem child for General Motors (GM) and the unions when sales dropped by more than 20,000 vehicles during the economic downturn, but CTS sales have since accelerated from 38,817 in 2009 to more than 55,000 just last year.

Harcum Art Gallery to Present Exhibit by Realist Painter Christopher Ryan
Artist Influenced by Extended Stay in Italy
March 6, 2012
"Leo and Luna"
Art professor Christopher Ryan recalls his fascination with the flat planes of mosaic and inlaid stone floors prevalent throughout Florence, Italy. These images dating back to ancient and medieval times have had a profound impact upon his artistic inspiration.
Wilmington College's Harcum Art Gallery will present an exhibit of Ryan's realist paintings March 15 through April 20. An opening reception will be held in his honor March 15 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Gallery hours are weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by special appointment coordinated by gallery curator Hal Shunk, professor of art.
Ryan, associate professor of art at Hiram College, addressed the affect of living for years in Florence and being a lifelong student of art history.
"Ideas have had a profound impact on my artwork," he said. "Looking beyond the well-known 'greatest hits' of Italian art, I've been more interested in virtually forgotten imagery found off the beaten path."
Ryan sees the flat planar surfaces featuring the mosaics as both a 'stage' for human activities and as a metaphor for "that which is trod upon, disregarded or, at worst, desecrated."
He said these decorative floors often recount centuries-old tales through their own visual language of figural designs, patterns and inscriptions.
"These images serve as a catalyst for my own mental associations, memories and personal narratives," he said, noting that, in his works, the imagery from ancient floors is juxtaposed with objects and debris from private, contemporary life — "the detritus of enigmatic events transpired or the residue of everyday life lived.
(LEFT) "Masks and Candies"
"This combination of forms both old and new, public and private, and sacred and profane establishes new and unexpected relationships and dialogues," he added.
He said that, through his "rehabilitation and reanimation" of lost imagery, he is able to find a context in the past while reflecting on his own perceptions of the contemporary world.
Ryan teaches all levels of painting, drawing and design, and chairs Hiram's Art Department. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from John Carroll University and his Master of Arts degree in modern European history from the University of Virginia.
Also, he studied at Studio Art Centers International (SACI) in Florence and earned his Master of Fine Arts in a joint program with SACI and Bowling Green State University. He has periodically returned to Italy to lead a study-abroad course in Tuscany.

I don't know what camera you use but if it has a setting for "beach" or "sunset" and darkens the photo, try that setting and zoom in as far as you can on the sun when it's filtered with clouds/atmosphere like that - you might be able to see sunspots!

My claim to fame is that I was once on Police, Camera, Action! but that's another story...( I was a 'member of the public' according to Mr. Burke - I helped police chase and wrestle a chav to the ground who had just jumped out of a stolen motor. Did I get my face on tv? No, all you see is my arse sticking up in the air as I hold this guy down on the ground....).

In order to do that, I've been trying to eat better, exercise more and generally be more healthy and smart with the food choices I make. I try to have smaller portions of food and limit my sugar intake which is super hard to do for someone that loves to not only eat but has a crazy sweet tooth where my happiest moments are filled with ridiculous amounts of ice cream, chocolate and cake (in that very order, sometimes all three at once).

Police use Pepsi can to identify burglary suspect
Detectives have identified a wanted man with a Pepsi can, police said.
Charles Fields Jr., 59, is believed to have burglarized a metro business recently.
According to police, Fields broke into the business through an unsecured door, then knocked a hole in the wall. He then stole several items, including clothing and jewelry, police said.
Detectives found an open Pepsi can Fields left at the crime scene. They then used DNA from the can to confirm his identity.
A warrant has been issued for Fields' arrest. He's facing burglary charges.

Alamo Theatre
85 Main Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 12 comments
The renovation of the Alamo Theatre for Northeast Historic Film was designed by Boston architect Thomas Bakalars. Bakalars was a member of the Board of Directors of NHF. The Winter, 2001, issue of the organization's newsletter, Moving Image Review, featured an article about the project (PDF here.) A digitized archive of the newsletters from Winter, 1988, through Winter, 2007, is also available here from the Internet Archive and Open Library.
The firm Thomas Bakalars Architects has designed numerous theaters, including at least two for Hoyts.
While driving through on vacation, we stopped at the Alamo and Executive Director David Weiss and his wonderful staff spent quite a bit of their time giving us a tour of the theater and the Northeast Historic Films archives. Please try to support their dedication and passion if you can. Jerry
Nice Theatre.
That vintage photo,if those were one sheets out front of the Alamo Theatre just think what they would worth today.
I passed by twice last week while on vacation and the museum was not open. Movies are still showing but they appear to be first run only.
If you enter www.alamotheatre.org you get this site http://www.oldfilm.org/ which as karan pointed out in 2006 owns the theater.
Is the address 85 Main or 379 Main? The theater website says 85. Additionally, the Bittersweet Gift Shop seen in the 6/4/08 photo is at 81 Main.
Love this nighttime photo, Lost Memory. Thanks for posting it.

Mayim Bialik: Despite Findings of the Latest Study, Breast is Still Best
The recent study by Dr. Cynthia Colen has a lot of us in the breastfeeding world up in arms. This study declares that benefits of breastfeeding may be "overstated" and our very own Jordana Horn has indicated that this could be an end to Mommy Wars since everyone is just doing their best and we are all good moms and other such positive messages of unity and happiness which I wholeheartedly support!
However, the issues are the following:
1. Academics. This study is not the end all be all of studies. The journal it is published in is not, in my opinion, the foremost journal to look for for this kind of research. The study was based on statistical associations which are not always correlations (they are not the same thing!). It is not a faultless study. It is not "right" simply because it was published. In academia, things are published all of the time which are later edited, revisited, re-analyzed, dissected, contested, and reviewed. That a study exists doesn't make it a talking point for us moms everywhere. This is an academic paper designed for a statistics and social sciences audience, not for us to use to bolster any particular opinion or lifestyle choice we make based on our lives, work schedules, and decisions. And I would say that even if the study supported breastfeeding. These kinds of papers are not meant for public consumption to draw conclusions about our particular situations.

Don Franks Helps Inmates Earn Their GED®
Wakulla County School District General Educational Development (GED®) instructor Don Franks (pictured at right) loves spending time around people. Whether he is serving as a father, husband, youth sports official or a mentor, he loves to help people.
Franks spends most of his week helping students, young and old, learn so they can successfully complete the GED® testing program. Two days of Franks' week are spent in the Wakulla County Jail where he teaches local inmates and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees basic skills to help his adult students succeed in life.
Early in the week, Franks teaches females and later in the week it is time for the males to learn. Franks is coming up on two years working with inmates in the jail and six years overall, including time in Leon County.
Students can study, learn and take as many section tests on math, science, social studies, reading and writing as they want. More than 12 jail inmates have passed the GED® test in the past year.
"I love it," said Franks. "I spent 14 years as a paralegal. I've always wanted to help people. I love the education field; teaching and helping people better themselves."
Franks received his Paralegal Studies degree from Keiser College in Melbourne and received his Bachelor's degree in Social Science from Florida State University. Franks hasn't stopped learning and is finishing his Masters degree in Education Leadership at Florida A & M University.
"I like working in the institutions," said Franks. "I find it very fulfilling. This is what I want to do for the rest of my life." Franks has a strong connection to the inmates as they interact during instructional time.
Federal inmates also take advantage of the study time in the jail library as Franks instructed Haitian ICE detainees on a recent Thursday.
"I'm proud of that program," said Sheriff David Harvey. "I took over the grant and inmates can get their GED®s right here at the jail. In some cases it has turned their lives around. They have accomplished something that they can be proud of. It gives them confidence. They can get jobs they couldn't otherwise get."
The sheriff added that he has bumped into former inmates in the community who express their gratitude for the learning opportunity.
Franks begins his work by determining the academic level of the student by "pinpointing where to start teaching" and helping them brush up on their strengths. He may work around the table with the students or stand up and teach in a classroom setting. "You have got to be diverse," Franks said. "You absolutely have to know your students."
Franks does not experience behavioral problems in class because "students are there because they want to be there."
He has a busy schedule working days and evenings in both the jail and in the school district. He is also a U.S. Army Reservist with a rank of E-7 or Sergeant First Class. The 23-year military veteran spent a year working at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. He works one weekend per month and two weeks per year with the Judge Advocate General (JAG) taking advantage of his legal skills as part of his reserve duty. He is based at Fort Gillam in Atlanta, Ga.
In 2008, approximately half of the students who took the GED® in jail received their diploma. The inmates can also continue their GED® studies if they are sent to the Department of Corrections.
"The students really seem to appreciate the program," Franks said. "We're just trying to better ourselves," one inmate concluded.

May none of your real feelings slip out at Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanks for having me before the Internet could ruin my childhood.
Not that I need a special day of the year to be a narcissistic, self-promoting fame whore.
Mother's Day is a sobering reminder that I have children.
Jesus regrets dying for you.
As long as you keep loving me I can keep hiding my crazy.
Time to discover which elf was up to no good while the others were making snowmen out of marshmallows.
Remain unresolved and lower your chances for self-hatred.
I can't believe it's been a year since I didn't become a better person.
Thank you, Santa and Happy Birthday, Jesus!

The Flame Still Burns, from the movie "Still Crazy", performed by Strange Fruit with Jimmy Nail. I saw the movie recently, and liked the music, so I hunted down the soundtrack. 12 hours later, I'm typing this. This is only the main riff, not the chords or solo, and if anyone has them, feel free to whack it on the end of this file. If anyone has "All over the World" or "Brian's theme", please post it, too, as I would be very interested in learning them (Crawl, crawl, grovel, etc.). Here it is. Roughly. For timing, try and find the CD, or see the movie.

USA 5 January 2013. Obesity and how to overcome it has become a major problem today. One of the safer ways to reduce obesity is to take Natural / Home / Herbal Remedies to burn the fat. We cannot ignore the problem of obesity as it leads to many diseases like high blood pressure, knee joint pain, heart problems etc. Everyone wants to remain slim and it is important to know that one can burn fat naturally.
Let us discuss natural home remedies to burn body fat-
Take lime juice with honey daily.
Cardamom is advisable. It is known as a thermogenic. It helps to burn fat.
Include Broccoli, Carrots, Beans, and Sweet Potatoes in your daily diet.
Eat one apple daily. The enzyme, pectin, present in it can help to reduce the absorption of fats through the cells.
Drink 2 to 3 cups of green tea every day. Studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that people who consume 5 cups of green tea daily burn an average of 5% more fat than people who do not drink any green tea at all (You now know why you hardly see any Obese Chinese people!)
Recent studies show that Garcinia cambogia (Tamarind) melts fat. It contains a chemical called Hydroxycitic acid (HCA), similar to the citric acid present in lemon and limes.
Vitamin C is useful to burn fat.
Eat fruits like lemon, bitter orange, tomatoes and sweet lime.
Eat Almond, Avocados, Sunflower seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Flax seeds, and use Olive Oil.
Garlic should be used while cooking food. It contains Allicin which helps to reduce cholesterol and is, therefore useful to treat obesity.
Consumption of Jawar (Sorghum), Ragi (Finger millet) is advisable.
Include salads, beans, and dry cereals in the diet.
Massage the abdomen with Lavan oil is advisable.
Salacia reticulata (Cuscus) helps to suppress accumulation of fats.
Do aerobic exercises.
For breakfast, take a high fiber diet, preferably cereals with skimmed milk and fruits.
Drink Ginger tea as it helps to burn fat.
Dandelion helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates faster.
Curry leaves help to increase the rate of metabolism which in turn helps in burning extra fat.
The herb Alfalfa, can be used to reduce fat, as it acts as a diuretic and can help to enhance the rate of digestion.
Bitter Orange Synephrine, is the alkaloid of bitter orange. It is a primary active alkaloid. It is useful to stimulate the adrenal gland and is useful to burn fat.
Take sweet, salty and sour foods in limited quantities. Certain herbs which burn fat can increase blood pressure. So consult a doctor before taking them.
Add one teaspoon of Triphala( Combination of Chebulic myrobalan, Belleric myrobalan, Indian gooseberry) Powder in a cup of water. Boil it till it becomes half and take it with honey.
Indian Bedalium ( Guggul) helps to reduce the body fat.
Do swimming, walking and jogging on a regular basis.
I hope the above remedies to burn body fat helps all. It is always important to see advise of a Medical Doctor for obesity conditions.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA)-It looks as though Former Mobile Mayor Sam Jones will be nominated to the Mobile Area Water and Sewer Board.
Late Friday afternoon, two Mobile City Council Members, Gina Gregory and Joel Daves, told Fox 10 News they changed their minds after Mayor Sandy Stimpson announced at a morning news conference he fully supports Jones's appointment to the board.
At the news conference, Mayor Stimpson said there's a rift in the Mobile City Council that could undermine all efforts to build a better Mobile.
The good news, he said, is that it can be repaired.
Stimpson said, "It starts with a single step, and that is approving the appointment of Sam Jones to the Mobile Sewer and Water Board. Today, I call on the city council to take that step."
Stimpson said he believes Jones is qualified for the position.
The mayor said, "If he's willing to serve, he can help unite our city, and his nomination should be approved."
Mayor Stimpson also announced he's inviting former Mayor Jones to stand with him before citizens and lead a conversation on how to unify the city.
Stimpson said, 'I'm planning to host a community forum to address the race issues in Mobile. I want it to be an honest conversation about how we can move forward together."
Stimpson said it's scheduled for June 11th at the History Museum of Mobile.
The mayor was asked if he thought the Jones' controversy was racial.
He said, "I do not believe that the issue, to begin with, was racial, but, it has evolved into what the perception is, and, if that's the direction its going in, sometimes perception is reality, but, I do not believe that's what started the problem."
City Council Member Bess Rich said she will continue to oppose Jones nomination.
Council Member John Williams said he will reflect on the matter this weekend.
Five council votes are needed to approve the nomination.
Council Member Fred Richardson, C.J. Small, and Levon Manzie all supported Sam Jones' nomination to the water board.

Nosy Hara , located in the northern part of Madagascar , is a submarine and coastal reservation of untold beauty. Its second to none Tsingy make the highlights of its touristic interest.
An archipelago made of ten small unoccupied islands in the northern region of Madagascar constitutes this peculiar marvel. Marine resources are dangerously going low though, mainly due to excessive fishing.
