.- The Bishops' Conference of Hungary called a decision by the government to cut off annual subsidies to Church institutions "unacceptable discrimination" and said it violates the country's accord with the Holy See.
The Hungarian bishops had requested a meeting with the Minister of Finance before the budget was submitted to Congress, but their request was not granted and the budget that was adopted included a measure cutting off funding for Catholic institutions.
The bishops said the decision amounted to "discrimination against the educational, social and cultural institutions run by the Church. We do not approve that the government of the Republic of Hungary does not fulfill the obligations it assumed under the international accord signed with the Holy See."
"We accept as something normal that there be certain restrictions," the bishops noted, "even with regards to ecclesial institutions, but we believe that a discriminatory attitude towards the Church is unacceptable."

|A friend of mine bought me some mixed impatiens. My house faces the east so I get morning to mid afternoon sun. They have been planted for about a month now. I water those things constantly, and they are contstantly wilting; like they're just not getting enough water. After I water them they fluff back out like they're alright, but it only lasts until the next morning. I honestly have not seen them go a whole 2 days without wilting. I'm thinking there's no way I can keep up with having to water them all the time. If anyone knows any tips...PLEASE SHARE THEM! If I can't get them under control then I'll have to take them out of the ground and do something else with them.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Here's what *I* do. I add equal parts potting soil and PEAT MOSS. 1 part of each and mix well. The peat retains moisture thereby reducing the amount of watering you have to do. I do this with all plants that are like impatiens when it comes to watering.
|The impatiens that take the worst beating are those that are getting that hot afternoon sun. Those that I have planted in direct sun until mid afternoon are flooded heavily like they would get if we had a big fat thunderstorm, and that usually lasts a good three days. Maybe a soaker hose would cut down on your time having to water them? Tom's idea about soil additives is an excellent one too. There's also a product (I think Lowes sells it) that is similiar to what they use in disposable diapers to retain moisture- sorry I can't remember the name of it for you.
- Posted by wantoretire_did z4 NY (My Page) on Tue, Jun 13, 06 at 7:59
|Probably too much sun. They just don't like it.
|Zone 8 is pretty hot for impatiens. Mine on the front porch facing south with some western protection wilt every day during the late morning/2PM timeframe, then they come back.
My only other comment is you have to water container plants every day if it's particularly hot or they get alot of sun. What kind of pots do you have? I've found the plastic or fake clay ones hold moisture so much better. Terra cotta planters wick the water out of the soil and it evaporates - good in some ways so you can't overwater, but in hot weather, it makes it necessary to water daily. My hanging pots in wire/cocoa mat baskets need watered sometimes twice a day as they're in full sun.
|I'm in NYC where our summers are tough on plants that require a lot of water. I have a pot of Impantiens in the roughly the same conditions you mentioned -- 6-8hrs. or so of full sun. What made a HUGE difference for mine was mulch. A thick layer of it. Not the large one. I use the cedar mulch which is more fine and doesn't allow much evaporation to take place. My Impatiens has never slumped over. You might try that.
They also MUST have water every day. I water mine in the evening so they have many hours of recovery time from the heat of the day. They get watered until there is run-off from the bottom of the pot. I found out the hard way that just because it rained, it doesn't mean the plant got enough water. Sometimes the foliage of the plant gets so thick that rain water doesn't necessarily reach the soil in ample amounts. I learned to check the soil after rain to see if it was actually damp -- and to my surprise it wasn't more often than I care to count. Even easier is to pour water into the dish the pot sits in, if it starts to get absorbed, the plant needs to be watered.
Also, along with the comment about clay pots... I would add that using light colored pots is better, too. It doesn't heat up like dark colored pots do. As the pot heats up in the sun, the soil heats up and begins to dehydrate.
Hope that helps.
|Not sure if this might help or not but Miracle Grow has a brand of soil that is Moisture Control. IT's sort of like a time release soil.

40 Indians in northern Iraq 'uncontactable'
Published on Jun 18, 2014 2:42 PM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - Forty Indian employees stranded in violence-hit Iraq are "uncontactable", the foreign ministry said on Wednesday, with a newspaper reporting the construction workers have been kidnapped.
A ministry spokesman said he could not confirm the report in the Times of India that insurgents have abducted the 40 workers in the northern city of Mosul amid a deteriorating security situation.
"Despite our best efforts at this stage, we haven't been able to contact them. So they remain uncontactable at this stage," said spokesman Syed Akbaruddin told reporters. "Beyond that I am not able to confirm or verify reports of a speculative nature (kidnapping)," he added.
"At this stage we have no reports whatsoever, no confirmation, no verification of any Indian national being involved in any violent accident or injury."

North Korea vows to restart nuclear reactorPUBLISHED: 02 Apr 2013 17:04:20 | UPDATED: 02 Apr 2013 17:06:52PRINT EDITION: 02 Apr 2013
North Korea has vowed to restart all mothballed facilities at its main Yongbyon nuclear complex.
They were closed in 2007 as part of an international nuclear disarmament deal.
The announcement on Tuesday follows weeks of warlike rhetoric from North Korea, including threats to launch nuclear strikes against the United States.
The country has also declared that making nuclear arms and a stronger economy are the nation's top priorities.
A spokesman for the General Department of Atomic Energy says the Yongbyon facilities to be restarted are a graphite-moderated 5 megawatt reactor.
The reactor generates spent fuel rods laced with plutonium. It is the core of the Yongbyon nuclear complex.

1 always has the power block unplugged from the Promethean board.
1 at 2 or 3 laptops "cant access the network" "DONT TURN THE WIRELESS OFF THEN!!"
1 has too many pc's and not enough network points, they know this but wont put another network point in or even get a mini switch, and yet they STILL complain that this pc one pc cant access the network.
1 has moaned about laptops not charging in the trolley - "which ones?" I say. "ooh I'm not sure now" they respond. Its always that they've yanked on the cables and dislodged one or more power supplies.
I have another that the teachers in reception are obsessed with moving the equipment about EVERY week and then complain because they haven't connected it all back up correctly or that leads are missing.
The fn+f8/f5 I would say is the most common overall.

I purchased this amp in the expectation of it being able to drive 2 ohm speakers and it could not! It may very well be able to drive 4 ohm speakers but I was going by the info published by the manufacturer and I was very disappointed. I could get nothing but low volume out of it no matter where I set the gains. It would cut out via the protection circuitry at even a moderate listening level. Great size and small footprint for tight applications but don't expect to drive 2 ohm loads with this amp!

BOSTON, Dec. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II (NYSE: EOS) today announced important information concerning its distribution declared in December 2012. This press release is issued as required by the Fund's managed distribution plan (Plan) and an exemptive order received from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board of Trustees has approved the implementation of the Plan to make monthly cash distributions to common shareholders, stated in terms of a fixed amount per common share. This information is sent to you for informational purposes only and is an estimate of the sources of the December distribution. It is not determinative of the tax character of the Fund's distributions for the 2012 calendar year. Shareholders should note that the Fund's total regular distribution amount is subject to change as a result of market conditions or other factors.
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are estimates, are not being provided for tax reporting purposes and the distribution may later be determined to be from other sources including realized short-term gains, long-term gains, to the extent permitted by law, and return of capital. The actual amounts and sources for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Distribution Period: December 2012
Distribution Amount per Common Share: $0.0875
The following table sets forth an estimate of the sources of the Fund's December distribution and its cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date. Amounts are expressed on a per common share basis and as a percentage of the distribution amount.

1 The Fund's fiscal year is January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2012
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE: You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Plan. The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with 'yield' or 'income.' The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for accounting and/or tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Set forth in the table below is information relating to the Fund's performance based on its net asset value (NAV) for certain periods.
Average annual total return at NAV for the 5-year period ended on November 30, 20121
Annualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of November 30, 20122
Cumulative total return at NAV for the fiscal year through November 30, 20123
Cumulative fiscal year to date distribution rate as a percentage of NAV as of November 30, 20124
1 Average annual total return at NAV represents the simple arithmetic average of the annual NAV total returns of the Fund for the 5-year period ended on November 30, 2012.
2 The annualized current distribution rate is the cumulative distribution rate annualized as a percentage of the Fund's NAV as of November 30, 2012.
3 Cumulative total return at NAV is the percentage change in the Fund's NAV for the period from the beginning of its fiscal year to November 30, 2012 including distributions paid and assuming reinvestment of those distributions.
4 Cumulative fiscal year distribution rate for the period from the beginning of its fiscal year to November 30, 2012 measured on the dollar value of distributions in the year-to-date period as a percentage of the Fund's NAV as of November 30, 2012.

(NYSE: EV), based in Boston, one of the oldest investment management firms in the United States, with a history dating back to 1924.

DevOps Summit 2015 New York, co-located with the 16th International Cloud Expo - to be held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY - announces that it is now accepting Keynote Proposals. The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

15 Perfectly Messy Glazed Desserts
Sugary glazes are one of our favorite dessert toppers. Not only are they syrupy sweet (in the best way possible!), but no matter how you pour or drizzle it onto the dessert, the final product always ends up stunning. Check out these 15 glazed dessert recipes for cakes, doughnuts, cookies, and more!
Looking for more stunning sweets? Try these pretty desserts that are easy on the eyes and the taste buds.
Cream Cheese Cookies with Blueberries and Lime Glaze
For cream cheese lovers, these tangy cookies pack a double dose — in the cookie dough and in the puckery lime glaze. Dried blueberries add sweetness and chew. Cooking the cream cheese before adding it to the dough eliminates some of the moisture that could otherwise make these cookies too soft. If your blueberries are too dry, plump them in hot water for five minutes, then dry them well before adding to the dough.

First Impressions: Amagami SS+
by Chris Walden
Wait, hold on a second. Amagami SS already ended, didn't it? Well apparently they aren't done just yet, gifting us with a further twelve episodes about Junichi and his alternate universe relationships. Dear god, can we stumble into the Miya universe for a second?
Those of you that have seen the predecessor to this show will know that it was well and truly wrapped up, so without adding new ladies I couldn't really see where this show was going. It seems that these episodes, consisting of six two-parter stories, one per 'main' girl (man, this is getting complex already!), are set right after hooking up with Junichi, and before the glimpse at their future lives together. Ah whatever, Miya is the only girl that matters in this show.

Pope Francis' Harley-Davidson set for auction in Paris
Pope Francis' Harley-Davidson motorcycle is set for auction in Paris.
Pope was given the 1,585cc Dyna Super Glide last June as a gift from Harley-Davidson to mark the company's 110th anniversary.
According to Sky News, the Pope later donated the motorbike to the charity Caritas Roma, which works on behalf of the Catholic Church to support people in need.
The sale of the bike at Grand Palais will raise funds for the charity to renovate a hostel and soup kitchen in Rome.
The motorbike is expected to fetch between 9,900 pounds and 12,400 pounds.
The unique bike has the Pope's signature 'Francis' signed on its petrol tank.

About the SurveyThe survey sampled 375 transport and logistics managers at organizations of over 500 employees within the UK, France, Germany, USA, Australia and New Zealand. The survey was commissioned by Intermec and carried out by research company Vanson Bourne in April 2013. 1 Figure taken from the average response to the question 'What has been or is expected to be the tangible cost savings following the process re-engineering effort?' asked of companies that have carried out a process re-engineering effort in the past twelve months. Survey responses were from managers from companies in the UK, US, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand. 2 More than three quarters (77%) of organisations across UK, US, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand say that their customers now demand same-day delivery services, and 92% of companies claim that meeting these expectations is placing significant challenges on their business to adjust. 3 38% of companies surveyed cited operational efficiency as the most important area of strategic importance to their business, more than any other single area

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) – A judge has denied a former Long Beach police officer's request for a reduced bond on charges alleging he had sex with a 15-year-old girl while on duty.
Harrison County Justice Court Judge Brandon Ladner denied the request of Patrick Klis on Wednesday.
The Sun Herald reports the 44-year-old Klis is held on bonds that total $300,000 pending court action on three counts of sexual battery.
His attorney told the judge Klis retired from the Navy after 20 years as a Seabee with six combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Klis was a police officer for 6 1/2 years. He was fired after his arrest April 4.
Klis has waived a preliminary hearing. The case will be bound over to a grand jury.

Shuadit language
|Native to
|formerly southern France
|1977, with the death of Armand Lunel
|Language codes
Shuadit, also spelled Chouhadite, Chouhadit, Chouadite, Chouadit, and Shuhadit is the extinct Jewish language of southern France, also known as Judaeo-Provençal, Judéo-Comtadin, Hébraïco-Comtadin. The language is known from documents dating to as early as the 11th century in France, and after suffering drastic declines beginning with the charter of the Inquisition in France, finally died out with the death of its last known speaker, Armand Lunel, in 1977.
Early history[edit]
Historians have been unable to clarify the age and the exact development of Shuadit. Latin, as the language of commerce and administration of the Roman Empire, spread to the region following the conquest of Transalpine Gaul by Julius Caesar, completed by 50 BC. There is, however, little evidence of whether Shuadit developed through the adoption and alteration of Latin by the local Jewish community, or whether it is a descendant of the much earlier Judeo-Latin language. Another possibility is that the language developed as a result of the influence of the exegetical school at Narbonne. (For further discussion, refer to Blondheim and Banitt in References below. See also the Judæo-French article at Zarphatic language.)
Shuadit writings consist of two distinct varieties: religious texts and popular prose. As with most Jewish languages, both forms were written exclusively using modifications of the Hebrew alphabet.
Religious texts contain a significantly higher incidence of Hebrew loanwords, and reflect an overall more "educated" style, containing many words from Old French, Provençal, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin. These texts include a fragment of a 14th-century poem lauding Queen Esther, as well as a woman's siddur. This siddur contains an uncommon blessing, found in few other locations (including medieval Lithuania), thanking God, in the morning blessings, not for making her "according to His will" (she-asani kirtzono), but for making her as a woman.
The extant texts comprising the collections of popular prose contain far fewer non-Provençal borrowings, and are essentially Provençal written using the Hebrew script, possibly indicating a Jewish preference, prevalent at the time, for not using the Latin script, regarded widely as synonymous with the oppressive Christian régimes. These texts demonstrate the extent to which the Jewish community of Provence was familiar with Hebrew, as well as the extent to which the community was integrated into the larger surrounding Christian culture of the region.
Shuadit displays a number of phonological characteristics that make it unique among Jewish languages. The name "Shuadit" literally means "Jewish", and is the Shuadit pronunciation of the Hebrew word "Yehudit". This is because initial /j/ becomes /ʃ/, and /h/ is often elided between vowels, so Yehudit > Shehudit > Sheudit > Shuadit (through a later vowel system change).
In words inherited from Hebrew and Aramaic, the letters samekh, sin and thav are all pronounced /f/, the same as fe. The conjecture is that the two former /s/ phonemes merged with the /θ/ phoneme, and then merged with the phoneme /f/. This observation gives particular validity to the theory that Shuadit is an outgrowth of a much older Judæo-Latin language, rather than an independent development within southern France, since the second step also occurred during the development of Latin from Proto-Italic.
In words derived from Latin, there is a tendency to diphthongize /l/ following plosives, and to de-lateralize /ʎ/ to /j/. Additionally, the phonemes /ʒ/ and /ʃ/, as well as /dʒ/ and /tʃ/, are reduced to the single phoneme /ʃ/. Thus, the Provençal words plus, filho and juge, are rendered as pyus, feyo and šuše, respectively, in Shuadit.
A fundamental source for inferring information about the phonology of Shuadit is the comedy Harcanot et Barcanot. (See Pansier in the References section of this article.)
The earliest evidence of Shuadit as a distinguishable spoken language is probably in the comic poem, Lou Sermoun di Jusiou (The Jew's Sermon), likely written in the sixteenth century. Given its content, this poem was likely composed by a non-Jew. Numerous parodies of Jewish speech appear also in recordings of Christmas carols.
Emperor Dom Pedro II of Brazil recorded a number of bilingual Hebrew-Shuadit religious poems.
In 1498, the Jews were formally expelled from southern France. Although the community was not finally compelled to depart until 1501, much of the community had by then become dispersed into other regions, notably Genoa and the "less-civilized" regions of Germany. However, the Comtat Venaissin was then under the direct control of the Pope, and a small Jewish community continued to live there in relative isolation. From the time of the French Revolution, when Jews were permitted to live legally anywhere in France as full citizens, the status of Shuadit began to decline rapidly. The extinction of the language was noted in 1977, upon the death of its last known native speaker, Armand Lunel.

AXPO Chooses Sanbolic To Ensure High Availability (HA) And Increase Scalability Of Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
WALTHAM, Mass., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Sanbolic®, the market leader in distributed data management, today announced that AXPO, the largest energy utility company in Switzerland, has deployed Sanbolic Melio software to ensure high availability (HA) and increase scalability of its Citrix Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110620/NE22418LOGO )
AXPO had two datacenters, approximately 30 miles (50 km) apart. Each data center hosted a Citrix XenApp server farm, which was provisioned dynamically using Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS). AXPO used replication between the sites to keep the vDisks at both sites synchronized and to provide disaster-recovery (DR) capability. For the next phase of the implementation, the company was preparing to rollout Citrix XenDesktop to thousands of users. AXPO had three significant requirements for their VDI environment: high availability, a consistent user experience and a cost-efficient infrastructure:
- High Availability (HA) - AXPO needed a high availability environment for its Citrix XenApp and the planned XenDesktop rollout. This required multiple servers for Citrix Provisioning Services (PVS), so that the service could remain available during maintenance windows or in the event of server failure.
- Consistent User Experience - AXPO needed to avoid a degraded user experience during peak usage periods, which were most noticeable during start-of-day logons. AXPO had previously required additional Provisioning Servers and storage to support I/O requirements.
- Cost-Efficiency - AXPO needed to minimize upfront and on-going storage expense. Each Provisioning Server required access to all of the XenApp and XenDesktop images. Replicating the images among the storage volumes assigned to each Provisioning Server added complexity and overhead, as well as increased storage cost.
After a careful review and evaluation process of available options, AXPO selected Sanbolic's Melio VDI software to provide seamless scale-out of Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp, while delivering consistent performance and improved storage utilization. Active/active storage access and centralized management through the Melio platform also proved critical features to ensure image availability and simplified management. AXPO obtained the following benefits with the Sanbolic Melio VDI solution:
- Flexible scale-out to thousands of Citrix desktops, while meeting availability requirements and customer service-level expectations.
- Reduced storage capital requirements by more than 50%, by eliminating the need to have redundant local copies for each Provisioning Server.
- Reduced storage management expense by providing centralized management of desktop images.
- Eliminated scheduled outages by enabling on-line expansion of the VDI environment.

The big news last week on the housing price front was the jump in the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices. Even though the bounce was rather slight -- the widely cited index registered a year-over-year increase of just 0.6 percent -- the media glommed onto it as evidence that the housing market might be stabilizing.
While great attention gets paid to the slightest gyrations in the oft-cited index, there is another, less-cited component of the Case-Shiller series that's even more interesting. It's the index value itself -- graphed above. And it essentially tracks housing prices in light of their January 2000 baseline. As this chart shows, the 20-city composite index hit a high of 206 before falling to 145, a decline of roughly one-quarter from its peak. The 10-city index peaked at 226 before falling to 156, a decline of approximately a third. Still, that's roughly 50 points above 2000 levels. Nationally, housing prices today are in line with their 2003 levels.
The map above -- prepared by the Martin Prosperity Institute's Zara Matheson -- plots the Home Price Index values for the 20 metro regions in their series. The graph below charts the movement in the Index values from 1987 to present. Even though housing prices have declined everywhere across the country, prices have held much better in some places than others. A 100-plus point difference separates the highest city from the lowest one on the index. Greater Washington, D.C. tops the list with an index value of 176.5. Housing prices are above 150 in four other locations -- Los Angeles (172), New York (170), San Diego (158), and Boston (151). Sure, housing prices have come down from their peak in these cities, but they remain considerably above 2000 levels. Five regions have index values between 125 and 150: they too remain considerably above 2000 levels -- Portland (144), Seattle (144), and San Francisco (135) on the west coast, which sort of make sense; and Miami (147) and Tampa (136) in South Florida which are, frankly, more puzzling, at least to me. Nine more regions have index values between 100 and 125, meaning they are up just a bit or more or less back to where they started a decade ago -- Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis, Charlotte, Dallas, Phoenix, Atlanta, Las Vegas, and Cleveland. Only one region, greater Detroit, has seen its housing prices fall below 2000 levels. With an Index value of 70, housing prices in Detroit have fallen to levels last seen in the 1990s. Some experts believe it will take as much as two decades until Detroit area housing prices rebound back to their pre-crisis peak.
Source: From dcist.
I was interested in looking at what might be behind this pattern. With the help of Charlotta Mellander, we compared these Case-Shiller values to a range of regional economic and demographic indicators. We performed a simple correlation analysis and ran a series of scatter-graphs. At 20, the sample size is beneath the threshold required to generate really robust statistical conclusions. And I remind readers that these measures point to association among variables and do not imply causation. Of course, other factors and relationships which we don't account for may complicate the picture. Still, some findings are interesting enough to warrant discussion.
Source: Average income is from the American Community Survey.
The golden rule says: follow the money. A wide range of research, as well as plain old common sense, says housing prices will be higher where people are more affluent. We looked at three basic measures of economic wealth -- economic output, income, and wages. All three are associated with higher Case-Shiller values. But just one of these -- the correlation for income -- was statistically significant (.5).
Source: The creative class measure is based on Rise of the Creative Class, updated with data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Economists have long noted the connection between education levels or human capital, economic success, and housing prices. Not surprisingly, we find that housing prices are associated with human capital, but the correlation is not statistically significant (most likely due to the small number of observations).
Housing prices often reflect local labor markets, as Ryan Avent notes. A study I conducted with Mellander found that housing prices were considerably higher in areas with higher percentages of the creative class as well as higher levels of human capital. We again find a close connection here, on two levels. On the one hand, there is a positive and significant correlation (.51) between housing prices and the creative class -- that is, the share of workers in science and technology; arts, media and entertainment; and professional jobs. On the other hand, housing prices are negatively associated (-.65) with blue-collar, working-class jobs.

Commonwealth pursues next step for performance-based investments to spur innovative solutions to social issues, achieve better outcomes and save taxpayer dollars
BOSTON – Monday, September 23, 2013 – Governor Deval Patrick today announced that Massachusetts has been awarded an $11.67 million grant from the Obama Administration's U.S. Department of Labor that will expand the Patrick Administration's Social Innovation Financing juvenile justice project by providing additional success payments tied to increases in employment and reductions in recidivism.
"Social innovation financing is helping us shape our future by creating innovative tools to tackle long term social issues," said Governor Patrick. "I thank the Obama Administration for recognizing the potential social innovation financing has to help us change the delivery of state services to save money and improve program performance. This grant will help create brighter futures for some of our most vulnerable youth."
"This grant will allow the Commonwealth to expand the scope of our Social Innovation Financing juvenile justice project aimed at helping to put at-risk youth on a path to success," said Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor. "Through this innovative, results-oriented project, we can achieve better outcomes while stretching every taxpayer dollar as far as possible."
"All youth deserve a promising future," said Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Joanne F. Goldstein. "We thank the Department of Labor for these resources as we work together with partnering organizations and vulnerable communities to promote employment opportunities for some of our most high-risk youth."
Through competitive procurements, the Commonwealth has preliminarily selected Roca as the service provider and Third Sector Capital Partners as the project intermediary for the juvenile justice initiative. Roca's nation-leading intervention model has been successfully helping the most high-risk young people break the destructive cycles of poverty, violence and perpetual incarceration. Third Sector Capital Partners is a nonprofit organization that delivers strategic financial solutions in support of evidence-based programs that serve the nation's most vulnerable communities.
In January of 2012, the Patrick Administration announced its plan to allow Massachusetts to enter into "pay for success" contracts designed to encourage innovative solutions to social problems, improve the performance of government and save taxpayer money. In August of 2012, the Administration announced it had taken the next step toward finalizing these agreements by announcing apparent successful bidders for pay for success contracts to address juvenile justice and chronic homelessness.
The Administration is partnering with Roca and Third Sector Capital Partners to support youth aging out of the juvenile justice and probation systems so as to assist them in making successful transitions to adulthood. This contract will be designed with the specific goal of reducing recidivism and improving education and employment outcomes over several years for a significant segment of the more than 750 youth who exit the juvenile justice system, and the several thousand who exit the probation system annually. The U.S Department of Labor Grant will allow the Commonwealth to expand the scope of this project to serve nearly 400 additional at-risk youth.

Tuesday, October 05, 2010 - True To SizeVery comfortable. I use thongs primarily for sports and working out. This is a great fit and very comfortable. I prefer Y-back thongs to traditional. Only complaint is quality - I ordered two Andrew Christian thongs and the tag on this is rough at edges and constantly scratches. If not for the poor quality stitching on the tag, this would get 5 stars.

Rwandan president: "Hotel Rwanda" a "rewrite" of history
Astonishing claims today out of Africa, where Rwandan president Paul Kagame dimissed "Hotel Rwanda" as a "rewrite" of history.
More, per Reuters, the president "said people in the hotel were saved in part because U.N. forces occupied the hotel and because the killers wanted to keep it as a place where they could drink beer after a long day of killing and discuss whom to kill the following day."
Initially, we thought of making a glib comment about Hutus bearing a striking resemblance to Endeavor agents putting away Heinekens at the Four Seasons, but realized that that would be going too far, and promptly recoiled from it.
Now we're just plain horrified all over again.

You can also customize each entry with a photo for caller ID, one of 33 polyphonic ringtones, or one of four vibration types. Other basic features include a vibrate mode, a speakerphone, text and multimedia messaging, a world clock, a calendar, a calculator, and a notepad. For the slightly more advanced, the phone also has stereo Bluetooth, GPS with Sprint Navigation support, USB mass storage mode, voice command, wireless backup, and a document viewer.
Since messaging takes center stage on the Rumor Touch, we like that the phone supports threaded text messaging so you can easily view a back and forth conversation. Aside from that, you also get mobile e-mail, which supports AOL, Gmail, Windows Live, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, as well as your own personal and work e-mail. You also get quick access to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace via dedicated apps.
The Rumor Touch comes with EV-DO Rev. 0, which also gives it access to Sprint's 3G services like Sprint TV, which lets you watch live TV and on-demand video, and the Sprint Music Store, which lets you purchase and download songs over-the-air for only 99 cents per track. The music player has a rather simple interface--you can set songs on repeat or shuffle, and you can create and edit playlists on the fly. The Rumor Touch has 52MB of internal memory but it has a 32GB microSD card capacity for additional storage.
There's also a HTML browser on here, which makes full use of the nice 3-inch display. It's not a super advanced browser--there's no tabbed browsing and you can't access your browser history--but you can change the font size, add bookmarks, turn the images on or off, and you can set Google as your default search option.
The 2.0-megapixel camera can take pictures in four resolutions and three quality settings. Other settings include brightness, white balance, color tone, fun frames, a self-timer, and up to 2x digital zoom when not at the largest resolution. Photo quality was average--though the images seemed sharp enough, they often looked overcast with a slight orange tinge when in low light. There's also a built-in camcorder--it can record videos in shorter video mail lengths or longer for-storage lengths, and in one of three resolutions. Other camcorder settings are similar to the still camera.
After taking your photos and videos, you can choose to share them via Sprint's Picture and Video Sharing service. You can share them with multiple friends and family members, and you can upload them to Photobucket, Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube.
As for personalizing the phone, you can change out the wallpaper or screensaver on the welcome screen and you can download new ringtones--or record your own if you feel like it. The phone comes with a few games and apps: NFL Mobile Live, NASCAR Sprint Cup Mobile, and demo versions of Family Feud, Midnight Bowling 2, and The Sims 3.
We tested the LG Rumor Touch in San Francisco using Sprint's service. Call quality was quite impressive on the whole. On our end, we could hear our callers crystal clear without any harsh voice tones or crackly static. It was the same when we were outdoors or indoors.
Callers reported similarly great call quality. They said there was plenty of volume and we sounded really smooth and natural, almost that of landline quality. However, they said that our voice sounded a little muffled when in speakerphone mode. For us, they sounded just fine on the speakerphone--a little echoed, perhaps, but that's normal.
We found the 3G speeds to be quite adequate. We downloaded a 1.6MB song in around 30 seconds and loaded the mobile CNET page in just 22 seconds. Sprint's live TV service looked surprisingly good--action sequences did not suffer from a lot of pixilation. Music quality was OK--we would recommend using a pair of stereo headphones for better audio fidelity.
The LG Rumor Touch has a rated battery life of 7 hours talk time. It has a tested talk time of 6 hours and 51 minutes. According to the FCC, it has a digital SAR of 1.2 watts per kilogram.
