For more than 15 years in California, the Drug Policy Alliance has sponsored and supported some of the nation's most progressive drug policy reforms. DPA sponsored landmark ballot initiatives that legalized medical marijuana (Prop. 215 in 1996), created the largest treatment-instead-of-incarceration program in the country (Prop. 36 in 2000), and sought to reduce criminal penalties for drug use while dramatically expanding access to drug treatment (Prop. 5 in 2008). DPA was also a primary supporter of Prop. 19 in 2010, which sought to legally regulate marijuana for adult use and helped mainstream the issue nationwide. And in 2012, we worked closely with allies in California to pass a historic ballot initiative to reform the state's "three strikes" law.
In 2012, DPA's California office, with critical support from allies, succeeded in getting 911 Good Samaritan legislation signed and enacted into law. This law provides limited immunity to individuals who seek medical attention to save the life of someone experiencing an overdose. In 2014, we will continue our work to reduce overdose deaths by seeking expanded access to naloxone, a generic, non-narcotic antidote to opiate overdose.
DPA has worked tirelessly to increase sterile syringe access in California to prevent HIV and hepatitis C transmission. In 2011, we won key victories that expanded syringe access to every county in the state. In 2014, as our law allowing for non-prescription sales of syringes sunsets, we are defending and expanding that victory with new legislation.
DPA is committed to protecting patient access to medical marijuana in California by playing an active role in a number of state and local coalitions and by voicing priorities to Sacramento and Washington, D.C. It is time to end decades of failed marijuana prohibition and replace it with sensible regulations for adult marijuana consumption, sales and cultivation. DPA and our allies are in the planning stages for a legalization voter initiative for the 2016 election.
With the 2012 "three strikes" reform's two-to-one victory at the ballot box – as well as numerous polls demonstrating that more than 70 percent of Californians support reducing penalties for all drug possession and that more than 85 percent believe nonviolent drug offenders should not be crowded into our bursting prisons and jails – DPA believes now is the time for sentencing reform in California. In 2013 Governor Brown vetoed our bill to reduce the criminal penalty for drug possession in California from a felony to a misdemeanor. In 2014 DPA will support partner efforts to put this issue on the ballot, moving our drug policies toward a health-centered approach, cutting wasteful drug war spending, and reducing the life-long barriers that follow a drug conviction. In 2014, DPA will also sponsor legislation to eliminate racially based sentencing disparities between cocaine base and cocaine powder.
Since 2012 DPA has been working to engage Latinos in Southern California on drug policy reform issues. Our effort launched with the Caravan for Peace and Justice, a bi-national venture led by prominent Mexican poet Javier Sicilia. Since then, we have engaged more than four dozen prominent Latino organizations across the state of California to build unprecedented support for drug policy reform. During the 2013 legislative cycle seventeen Latino organizations collectively signed on to DPA legislation that called for treating simple drug possession as a wobbler rather than an automatic felony. In 2014, DPA is partnering with Presente.org to shape Latino opinion on drug policy – illustrating its effects on Latino families in California by using coordinated online, on-the-ground, and social and mainstream media engagement.

Children need 9 to 10 hours of sleep every night. Insufficient sleep can result in seriously impaired performance and behavior - in school, sports and other activities. Kids need more sleep than adults so they need to sleep on a bed that provides a comfortable and healthy sleeping environment. Dr. James Maas, sleep expert and professor at Cornell University, says that kids 14 years and younger need at least 9 ¼ hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. Older teenagers, despite their protestations to the contrary, should still be getting a healthy night's rest of about 9 hours because of the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing. Today's teens are a sleep-deprived generation that drinks more caffeine, gets up earlier for school and goes to bed later than ever.

Two HR10-250 receivers and one R10 are all restarting... started about a week ago
Really irritating... making me think about updating to HD equipment
Posted 16 November 2012 - 09:58 PM
All my other receivers are rebooting too just don't keep track on those other then hearing about it.
Edited by RMichals, 17 November 2012 - 11:09 AM.
Posted 17 November 2012 - 10:42 AM
My 1st HR10-250 would forget that it had a valid account AND it would restart
My 2nd HR10-250 (from closet reserve) never lost the account, but it DID restart
My R10 (final closet reserve) never lost the account, but it DOES restart
I was actually looking for information on the THR22 DTivo, when I found this message thread about "all over" restarts with SD equipment
Since my two HR23 receivers have not had any problems, I am now concluding that the problem is not with my equipment... but is a problem with a malformed data stream from DTV
If DTV is not able, or willing, to fix the current problem, I may just have to find out if they have a "special" to replace my HR10-250 with an HD DVR... when I upgraded to HD service almost 3 years ago, I got new dish and two HR23 boxes at no cost because DTV had a special going on... I did, of course, have to commit to the usual 2 years of service, but since I've been a customer since 1995 and have NO interest in leaving DTV, another 2 years was a "no price" deal for me to get HD service
Anyway, I no longer think the problem is at my end, due to this discussion

I'll note we've been seeing the same problem -- rebooting of our Samsung SIR 4080R. We brought the unit to Weaknees thinking it might be a disk failure (we've had occasional pixelation, and given the unit is 8 years old...), but there are no disk or tuner problems. They indicated they've been getting a load of units in during the last two weeks with rebooting problems, and they believe it is a DirecTV problem.
Wow, ours has been doing this as well lately. I just saw this thread.
We are getting pixalation on our s4080r and decided maybe it is time to go HD and reset prices. Interesting to see this is a bigger issue than our old 6 year old box, which until lately has been perfect.

Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:54 AM
With Thanksgiving coming up I don't think we will be seeing anything this week, Today I have had like 8 reboots so far on each box about double the amount just 2 days ago.
I have to agree the reboots are getting far worse I started with maybe 2 a day on each box but now several times a day. I had programs set to record Friday evening 7-10 and it rebooted on all three programs so now it's starting to get irritating.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 07:17 PM
Any opinions on whether we should disconnect the receivers until a fix is introduced or not? I believe some have said the rebooting is not hard on the hard disk because it does not spin down the drive.
I've left mine connected.
I could handle it with 4-5 reboots a day, but the reboots have intensified dramatically.
D* needs a better deal than they currently have for switching receivers. I don't want to pay for a HDTivo, and I don't want one of their SD DVRs.
The protection plan doesn't help unless you are willing to accept non-Tivo dvr.
Any guess on how many subscribers are effected?

Ukiah Daily Journal
Fort Bragg man suspected of stealing from grandmother
Police on Monday arrested a 36-year-old Fort Bragg man for allegedly stealing jewelry and $1,000 cash from his 89-year-old grandmother, according to the Fort Bragg Police Department.
Police were summoned to the 400 block of East Fir Street at 4:22 p.m. Dec. 24 and spoke to the 89-year-old woman, who reported she was missing several pieces of valuable antique jewelry and the cash from inside her home.
The woman told police she believed her grandson, Garett Matson, had taken the money and jewelry because he had been in her home several times in the past month, and as recently as Dec. 21. She said she last remembered seeing the missing items about two weeks before she discovered they were missing Monday, according to the FBPD.
Minutes after taking her report, police learned that someone had spotted Matson in the parking lot of the Pine Beach Inn on North Highway 1. Officers and Mendocino County Sheriff's Office deputies responded there and spoke with Matson, who was in front of Room No. 25 working on his vehicle, according to the FBPD.
Matson was questioned about the missing items and denied he knew anything about it, according to the FBPD. He allowed officers to search his vehicle, and none of the missing items were found.
Officers also learned that Matson was on probation and searched his motel room, finding several of the items reported stolen by his grandmother, according to the FBPD.
Police didn't find the $1,000 cash, according to the FBPD, but officers learned that Matson had paid $750 for the motel room from Dec. 10 to Dec. 25.
Coast man arrested after explosion
Police on Dec. 21 arrested a 47-year-old Mendocino man for allegedly throwing a lighted, homemade explosive device onto a neighboring roof, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were summoned to the 10000 block of Lansing Street at 5:17 p.m. Dec. 21 for a report of a single shot fired, and learned that several people had heard and/or felt what was described as an explosion, according to the MCSO.
Deputies were given the potential location from where the gunshot had originated and spoke to Kendrick Anderson, who lived in a second-story apartment there. Anderson told deputies he had heard the gunshot and believed someone had thrown a lighted firework on his doorstep.
Deputies searched the surrounding area and found an expended "improvised explosive device" on the roof of a neighboring structure, according to the MCSO. The device was reportedly found about 20 feet from, and on the same elevation with, Anderson's second-story apartment entrance.
Anderson was arrested on suspicion of possessing a destructive device near a residential area, possessing a destructive device near a public thoroughfare and igniting a destructive device with the intent to terrify. He was booked at the Mendocino County Jail under $75,000.
A search of Anderson's home revealed "several materials and items ... that were and/or could be used to manufacture" explosive devices, according to the MCSO.
Ukiah woman arrested in attack on boyfriend
Sheriff's deputies on Friday arrested a 25-year-old Ukiah woman for allegedly attacking her boyfriend with a knife, according to the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were summoned to the 2100 block of South State Street for a report of a domestic fight. They spoke with a man who reported that he had fought with his girlfriend, later identified as Erika Ramos. The argument became physical and Ramos allegedly scratched and cut him with a knife, according to the MCSO.
The victim had minor injuries and didn't need medical attention, according to the MCSO.
Ramos reportedly admitted she had fought with her boyfriend and injured him. She was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and domestic violence, and was booked at the Mendocino County Jail under $30,000 bail.

Verse 1 A poor man who fears God, is more honourable and happy, than a man without wisdom and grace, however rich or advanced in rank. Verse 2 . What good can the soul do, if without knowledge? And he sins who will not take time to ponder the path of his feet. Verse 3 . Men run into troubles by their own folly, and then fret at the appointments of God. Verse 4 . Here we may see how strong is men's love of money. Verse 5 . Those that tell lies in discourse, are in a fair way to be guilty of bearing false-witness. Verse 6 . We are without excuse if we do not love God with all our hearts. His gifts to us are past number, and all the gifts of men to us are fruits of his bounty. Verse 7 . Christ was left by all his disciples; but the Father was with him. It encourages our faith that he had so large an experience of the sorrows of poverty. Verse 8 . Those only love their souls aright that get true wisdom. Verse 9 . Lying is a damning, destroying sin. Verse 10 . A man that has not wisdom and grace, has no right or title to true joy. It is very unseemly for one who is a servant to sin, to oppress God's free-men. Verse 11 . He attains the most true glory who endeavours most steadily to overcome evil with good. Verse 12 . Christ is a King, whose wrath against his enemies will be as the roaring of a lion, and his favour to his people as the refreshing dew. Verse 13 . It shows the vanity of the world, that we are liable to the greatest griefs where we promise ourselves the greatest comfort. Verse 14 . A discreet and virtuous wife is more valuable than house and riches. Verse 15 . A sluggish, slothful disposition makes men poor; it brings them to want. And this applies both to the present life and that which is to come. Verse 16 . If we keep God's word, God's word will keep us from every thing really hurtful. We abuse the doctrine of free grace, if we think that it does away the necessity and advantage of obedience. Those that live at random must die. This truth is clearly taught in words enough to alarm the stoutest sinner. Verse 17 . God has chosen the poor of this world, to be rich in faith, and heirs of his kingdom. Verse 18 . When parents keep under foolish tenderness, they do their best to render children a comfort to them, and happy in themselves. Verse 19 . The spared and spoiled child is likely to become a man of great wrath. Verse 20 . Those that would be wise in their latter end, must be taught and ruled when young. Verse 21 . What should we desire, but that all our purposes may agree with God's holy will? Verse 22 . It is far better to have a heart to do good, and want ability for it, than to have ability for it, and want a heart to it. Verse 23 . Those that live in the fear of God, shall get safety, satisfaction, and true and complete happiness. Verse 24 . Indolence, when indulged, so grows upon people, that they have no heart to do the most needful things for themselves. Verse 25 . A gentle rebuke goes farthest with a man of understanding. Verse 26 . The young man who wastes his father's substance, or makes his aged mother destitute, is hateful, and will come to disgrace. Verse 27 . It is the wisdom of young men to dread hearing such talk as puts loose and evil principles into the mind. Verse 28 . Those are the worst of sinners, who are glad of an opportunity to sin. Verse 29 . The unbelief of man shall not make God's threatenings of no effect. Christ himself, when bearing sins not his own, was not spared. Justice and judgment took hold of our blessed Surety; and will God spare obstinate sinners?
1. (Compare Proverbs 28:6 ). "Rich" for fool here. Integrity is better than riches ( Proverbs 15:16 Proverbs 15:17 , 16:8 ).
2. The last illustrates the first clause. Rashness, the result of ignorance, brings trouble.
3. perverteth . . . way--turns him back from right ( Proverbs 13:6 , 1:13 ); and he blames God for his failures.
4. (Compare Proverbs 14:20 ). Such facts are often adduced with implied disapprobation.
5. Compare Proverbs 19:9 , where perish explains not escape here (compare Psalms 88:9 Psalms 88:10 ).
8. (Compare Margin; Proverbs 15:32 ).
loveth . . . soul--or, "himself," which he evinces by regarding his best interests.
keepeth--or, "regards."
10. (Compare Proverbs 17:7 ). The fool is incapable of properly using pleasure as knowledge, yet for him to have it is less incongruous than the undue elevation of servants. Let each abide in his calling ( 1 Corinthians 7:20 ).
11. (Compare Proverbs 14:29 , 16:32 ). This inculcation of a forgiving spirit shows that true religion is always the same ( Matthew 5:22-24 ).
12. (Compare Proverbs 16:14 Proverbs 16:15 , 20:2 ). A motive to submission to lawful authority.
13. calamity--literally, "calamities," varied and many.
continual dropping--a perpetual annoyance, wearing out patience.
14. A contrast of men's gifts and God's, who, though author of both blessings, confers the latter by His more special providence.
and--or, "but," implying that the evils of Proverbs 19:13 are only avoided by His care.
15. a deep sleep--a state of utter indifference.
idle soul--or, "person" (compare Proverbs 10:4 , 12:24 ).
16. (Compare Proverbs 10:17 , 13:13 ).
despiseth . . . ways--opposed to keeping or observing, neglects ( Proverbs 16:17 ) (as unworthy of regard) his moral conduct.
17. (Compare Proverbs 14:21 , Psalms 37:26 ).
hath pity--shown by acts (compare Margin).
18. (Compare Proverbs 13:24 , 23:13 ).
let not . . . spare--literally, "do not lift up thy soul" ( Psalms 24:4 , 25:1 ), that is, do not desire to his death; a caution to passionate parents against angry chastisement.
19. Repeated efforts of kindness are lost on ill-natured persons.
20. (Compare Proverbs 13:18-20 ).
latter end--( Proverbs 5:11 ). In youth prepare for age.
21. (Compare Proverbs 16:1 Proverbs 16:9 , Psalms 33:10 Psalms 33:11 ). The failure of man's devices is implied.
22. desire--that is, to do good, indicates a kind disposition ( Proverbs 11:23 ); and the poor thus affected are better than liars, who say and do not.
23. The fear . . . life--(Compare Proverbs 3:2 ).
abide--or, "remain contented" ( 1 Timothy 4:8 ).
not visited with evil--( Proverbs 10:3 , Psalms 37:25 ), as a judgment, in which sense visit is often used ( Psalms 89:32 , Jeremiah 6:15 ).
24. bosom--literally, a wide dish in which the hand was plunged in eating ( Matthew 26:23 ). Compare Proverbs 26:15 , the sentiment expressed with equal irony and less exaggeration.
25. Such is the benefit of reproof; even the simple profit, much more the wise.
26. Unfilial conduct often condemned ( Proverbs 17:21-25 , 20:20 , Deuteronomy 21:18 Deuteronomy 21:21 ).
27. Avoid whatever leads from truth.
28. ungodly witness--(Compare Margin), one false by bad principles (compare Proverbs 6:12 ).
scorneth judgment--sets at naught the dictates of justice.
devoureth--literally, "swalloweth," as something delightful.
29. Their punishment is sure, fixed, and ready (compare Proverbs 3:34 , 10:13 ).

I would love to see a survey of fresh produce industry professionals on the topic of healthy eating habits. The crux of the question is simple: does being a member of the "produce industry" make one more likely to eat right?
Do fresh produce professionals eat more fruits and vegetables than the norm? One would certainly hope so, given the premise of most marketers is that fresh produce in America today is woefully under consumed relative to the dietary guidelines. More Matters, 5 a day for better health and so on.
I think of this after reading a blog at Smithsonian.com headlined "Just Because Farmers Grow Fresh Produce Doesn't Mean They're Eating It."
The author cited a survey from Modern Farmer that quizzed growers who supplied fresh produce to a farmers' market and found that many of them didn't have the time or inclination to practice what they preach.
From the story:
The contrast between what's grown and what's eaten is perhaps starkest in California, Modern Farmer says, where 80 percent of farmers—many of whom are new to the country and grapple with poverty—suffer from obesity. But even farmers at family-run or smaller operations can be nutrition-deprived. Especially during the busy summer months, they subsist on processed snacks, pizza and perhaps an apple at best. "A lot of the times cooking comes at the expense of sleep," one CSA farmer told Modern Farmer.
We are all time-starved, and it seems many of us, growers and produce evangelists included, make up with that deficit with drive-through KFC instead of fresh produce.
How confident are you that the average Joe or Jill in your produce company eats more apples, broccoli, lettuce, oranges, et cetera, than the Bill and Suzy working in another white collar job? Do you even care?
I would like to hear stories how fresh produce companies (and produce associations) make eating right the easy thing to do. How many companies provide healthy options in the cafeteria or perhaps provide fresh fruit and vegetable snacks. How great would it be if the boss filled up the fruit bowl every day, or set out a veggie tray every Friday?
There is no fresh produce regularly supplied to The Packer's office, so it is up to each employee to practice his own food faith.

Event Suggestions
For the "SAAM Day of Action," capture the spirit of this campaign by taking a picture with a clock to proclaim that "It's time!" and use this as your profile picture. Get involved in spreading awareness through social media sites by posting about SAAM on Facebook and Twitter.
If you have a pic from a SAAM "Day of Action" event or activity that you are willing to share, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We offer the following list of event suggestions to help you with your planning. We encourage you to adapt events and activities to your community's needs. When you schedule your SAAM event(s), be sure to add them to the NSVRC event calendar. This allows other organizations to attend local events and also generates ideas. Please visit the Resources page for detailed tips and information on planning many of the events listed here.
Showcase an art exhibit
Have survivors do art or photography displays to express their healing as part of a support or therapy group. Some centers have produced shadow boxes, quilts, handmade dresses, collages, and jewelry. Display the art in a public space and have local musicians and other artists perform.
Set up an awareness booth/table
Set up an information booth or table at a busy location on your campus or in your community. Hang teal decorations and distribute SAAM products (these may be ordered from the NSVRC store) and information on sexual assault. Distribute tip sheets (some of which are included on this CD) engaging individuals to prevent sexual violence in their everyday lives. Distribute candy to attract visitors to your table. Make sure you obtain approval from your college or community authorities to set up and staff the table for a few hours.
Launch a Bandana Project
This event, created by the Southern Poverty Law Center, raises awareness about violence against farm worker women. From the website, the goal is "to honor those who have taken action to hold the perpetrators and their employers responsible for this violence. These bandanas are also a show of support to victims whose shame and fear prevents them from taking action. May they be fortified and empowered so that they will no longer have to suffer in silence." Get a group of community members together to decorate white bandanas in creative ways. Hang the bandanas in a public space to generate dialogue about this issue and how people can be involved in preventing sexual violence.
Partner with local bars/nightclubs
Have a custom hand stamp created with a catchy slogan, like "consent is sexy" and your organization's web address. Collaborate with local bars to use the stamp for entrance during the month of April in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This is a great way to get the word out about your organization and promote a pro-consent message to people out having fun.
Host a "Breakfast With" event
Invite local legislators, who have sponsored legislation that addresses sexual violence to talk about contemporary trends in anti-sexual violence law. You can also invite local business leaders, law enforcement agencies, attorneys, and other groups that would be impacted by pending or recently passed legislation. Make sure that your organization's services are highlighted during the presentation. If possible, have speakers and presenters wear stickers, pins, or T-shirts advertising your organization.
Organize a bookstore/library display or reading
Approach local bookstores and libraries about setting up displays of books related to sexual assault with a Sexual Assault Awareness Month flyer and your program's information. Organize a book or poetry reading about sexual assault and healing.
Coordinate a local Clothesline Project
The Clothesline Project began as a vehicle for women affected by violence to express their emotions by decorating a t-shirt. The shirt is then hung on a clothesline to be viewed by others as testimony to the problem of violence against women. Today, Clothesline Projects provide awareness about sexual and domestic violence, hate crimes, and child abuse. Many communities have developed culturally-specific Clothesline Projects (e.g. Asian Clothesline Project in Massachusetts). Most events include a shirt-making session, held in conjunction with a display of recently or previously created shirts. Alternatively, you might arrange a display previously created T-shirts only. The shirts may be teal or color-coded, colors can signify the form of abuse and whether the victim survived the abuse they experienced.
While these events can be large or small, organizers should begin planning at least six months prior to the event date. You may also consider asking local businesses to donate the shirts and other supplies for this event. For more information, visit http://www.clotheslineproject.org/.
Partner with corporations
Encourage major corporations in your community to add a note into employee's paychecks with your agency's information and information on sexual assault. This can also be done with utility and cable companies by requesting the information be placed in customers' bills.
Collaborate for "A cup of prevention"
Ask local coffee shops, book stores, and small restaurants to donate a percentage of their coffee and tea sales to a local rape crisis center during the month of April.
Honor Denim Day
Denim Day is an international protest responding to the Italian Supreme Court's overruling of a rape conviction in 1999. An Italian woman was raped, and when the case went to trial, the jury found her assailant guilty. The Supreme Court then overturned the ruling, saying that jeans are too difficult to remove and the assailant could not have done so without the victim's help.
To honor Denim Day, people are encouraged to wear jeans to work or school in order to promote awareness. Your organization can also print stickers or buttons with Denim Day slogans on them, to encourage people to ask, "What is Denim Day?" To make this event successful, effective promotion is key. Publicize this event to as many businesses and schools as possible. Information about sexual assault should be sent out with the information about Denim Day. Peace Over Violence (formerly the Los Angeles Commission on Assaults Against Women), sponsors a Denim Day in LA campaign with related resources. For more, visit www.denimdayinla.org.
Sponsor an essay contest
Invite community members to write essays about the impact of sexual violence on their lives and their role in prevention. Collect and publish the essays. Distribute these stories around your community, to donors, and to partner organizations.
Suggest a faith-based community challenge
Challenge area faith communities to address sexual violence during April in services, prayer sessions and through articles, and donations to local rape crisis centers. Remember to ask for permission to have sexual assault information on display throughout the month.
Initiate a flag campaign
Purchase small teal flags and insert them into grassy areas throughout the community. For example, calculate the annual number of sexual assaults for the specific college or university and place this number of flags in the ground. Set up a table nearby to explain the purpose of the flag display and distribute information about sexual assault. For some tips on using flags for your campaign, visit the Red Flag Campaign website at www.theredflagcampaign.org.
Become a human ribbon
Place a lengthy teal ribbon around a person to form an awareness ribbon. Have them stand so that the ends of the ribbon flow out and touch the ground. The human ribbon does not speak, but an advocate would accompany that person to engage onlookers. Local dignitaries could be recruited to be the "human ribbon." Have educational information available and distribute it to observers.
Launch a letter-writing campaign
Some organizations take part in political advocacy during Sexual Assault Awareness Month by writing letters to local, state, territory, tribal and national government officials about policies related to sexual violence that affect your community.
Participate in a mock trial
Mock sexual assault trials are used across the country to educate communities about the legal process and address myths and facts about sexual assault. Mock trials are condensed productions of actual or possible trials. This dramatic style of presentation enables an organization to reach out to judicial representatives, theater groups, students, and a wide variety of community members. Mock trials have been used to train first responders in the criminal justice process and inform survivors of what might be involved in pursuing criminal charges. Some communities have adapted mock trial performances to explore the campus judicial hearing process.
Developing a mock trial takes time; allow at least three months for planning. Mock trials rely on a script, actors/community members, and good marketing. Local service providers such as police, judges, attorneys and forensic examiners make for great actors. You may be able to hold the mock trial in a local courthouse, town hall or educational institution. Mock juries often struggle with the same issues as actual jury members. After the jury reaches a verdict, some organizations choose to close the presentation with a video, script or scene that depicts the events leading up the sexual assault.
Sponsor a movie screening
There are several films you can highlight during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Use discussion guides to get the audience thinking and talking about sexual violence and the issues addressed in the movie. Inquire at local theatres about having specific movies shown during April, with a portion of proceeds donated to local sexual violence centers as another way of raising awareness.
Host an open house
An open house reception can be a simple but effective way to raise awareness of sexual assault and of your agency/program. An open house provides an opportunity for your organization to raise its profile in the community and to provide valuable information. Make brochures, signs and educational information available and provide information about volunteer opportunities.
The open house can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. Your staff may provide snacks and refreshments. Or, if your budget permits, you may have a catered reception. Invite board members and local public officials. Publicize the open house in local newspapers or on radio stations. You many also want to invite school administrators, and guidance counselors, as well as local businesses and the chamber of commerce.
Team up with law enforcement
Request permission to tie teal ribbons to the antennae of police cars in your county. This is an opportunity to get to know your local law enforcement officers and it allows for them to become more involved with your agency. This could also be a great opportunity for the local media to cover the campaign.
Partner with a local restaurant
There is a wide range of ways you can incorporate local restaurants into your Sexual Assault Awareness Month activities. Find a local restaurant that will provide an organizational discount, and host a corporate/legislative breakfast to (re)introduce your agency and board to the community. Or, request that the eatery contribute a small percentage of the profits on the "SAAM Day of Action." Inquire if you may put brochures or teal awareness ribbon pins near the cash register. Ask restaurants to use SAAM napkins, available through the NSVRC SAAM store, during April, or suggest that employees wear a teal shirt on the "SAAM Day of Action." Promote your campaign by hanging an awareness poster in a public area of the restaurant, but be sure to request permission first.
Organize a poetry slam
Poetry slams have become increasingly popular since they began in the 1980s. Poetry slams are events where poets perform and are judged on their writing and performance. SAAM Poetry slams are open to anyone who is willing to participate, but registration with a local program is required. These events can be large or small. We recommend that you begin planning this event four to five months prior to the event date. You may partner with organizations or schools to locate a venue for the event. English and Performing Arts Departments at local universities may be interested in co-sponsoring the event. Also consider asking local businesses to sponsor your event. Additionally, invite your local media to advertise and cover the event. Finally, you may wish to partner with your local radio stations for DJs, judges, and hosts.
Offer a poster contest
Hold a contest for students to create your organization's Sexual Assault Awareness Month posters. Use social networking sites like Facebook or Twitter to promote the contest and announce the winner. Offer a prize for the winner to attract more submissions.
Give a presentation at a salon
A unique place to hold presentations about sexual violence is at local beauty salons. You can hang a poster with sexual assault information and your organization's services, or you can provide your organization's contact information to be added to stylists' business cards, among other things.
Create a restroom campaign
Restrooms are everywhere! Put flyers up on the back of stall doors in the restrooms of college campuses, bars, businesses, state agencies (welfare, unemployment, etc.), and anywhere there is a bathroom. Remember to ask permission before posting flyers.
Coordinate a "Rock Against Rape" event
This benefit concert invites local musicians to play during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Proceeds can benefit community or campus rape prevention programs. You may want to have multiple performers come to one venue, or arrange with multiple local bars and restaurants to host a variety of live musicians over a couple of evenings.
Get moving with a run/walk event
Many social and health causes have started annual walk or run events to raise money and awareness about their issue. If your organization has the resources to plan a walk for sexual violence awareness and prevention, this is a great option. If you have limited time and resources, consider reaching out to other organizations in your area that are holding walks and runs during April, and form a team to represent the anti-sexual violence movement. Have matching teal T-shirts made and make sure to bring materials on sexual violence to distribute to other participants.
Shine some "Light" on sexual violence
The concept of Shine the Light on Sexual Violence was originally developed by the YWCA of Greater Los Angeles Sexual Assault Crisis Program. Shine the Light can be as simple as encouraging the community to use car headlights, candles, lamps, or flashlights to develop awareness about sexual violence. You may also choose to coordinate a community event such as a candlelight vigil at dusk, for which you designate a time and place for the community to gather. Remember to disseminate flyers with the event information, including location and time, before the date in order to increase community participation.
Shop to end sexual violence
Partner with local businesses to offer discount coupons for purchases made during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Proceeds can benefit community or campus rape prevention programs.
Showcase a "Sole Survivor" event
Set up a display of shoes to represent the number of victims of sexual assault on campus in one year, or individuals who are sexually assaulted before the age of 18. Display a mix of men's, and women's and children's shoes. Staff a nearby table to answer questions about your display and distribute information on sexual assault and local resources.
Welcome survivors to "Speak Out"
This type of event creates a safe space for survivors of all forms of sexual violence to "speak out" about their experience, recovery, and healing. Choose a fairly quiet location for your event and ensure that local rape crisis center professionals are on hand to provide assistance to speakers and/or audience members in need. One option is to have two podiums and microphones set up, one for survivors that are willing to have their stories recorded by local or campus media, and one for those who do not want press coverage.
Plan a "Take Back the Night" march
Take Back the Night (TBTN) is an international phenomenon that began in the early 1970's in Germany, responding to a series of sexual assaults and murders. TBTN rallies and marches have been held throughout the United States since the late 1970's. Local communities in the United States, Canada, Latin America, India, and Europe have been organizing TBTN marches and rallies to unify individuals against violence in their communities.
TBTN can include a candlelight vigil, a rally, a survivor speak out, and a large-scale public march. Many organizations have incorporated the arts into events with banner-making contests, musical performances, poetry, and exhibits. Be sure to check with your local law enforcement officials regarding the legal status of your event and safety issues. Visit www.takebackthenight.org for more information and resources.
Promote a "Teal Ribbon Campaign"
Tie a teal ribbon to your car, your clothing, etc. Set up baskets with teal ribbons on pin cards at hair salons, libraries, banks, and doctors' offices. Wrap big teal ribbons around trees or tie teal ribbons to your county's public safety vehicles. Ask a local craft store to donate teal ribbons to your agency or provide you with a nonprofit discount. Wherever you place the ribbons, be sure to have information on the significance of the ribbon as part of sexual assault awareness and prevention efforts.
Plant trees and flowers
Tree and flower planting ceremonies during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, serve a dual purpose. They give recognition to those who have been sexually assaulted in our communities, and these ceremonies counteract pollution in the environment. These events provide communities an opportunity to honor a relative, friend, or other victim and/or survivor with the new life of a tree or plant. These ceremonies may be held in conjunction with Arbor Week, Earth Day or Arbor Day, all take place during April. A planting ceremony also provides an excellent opportunity for partnering with local home and garden businesses and greenhouses. Consider asking these companies to donate trees or flowers to plant during your event.
We encourage you to begin planning at least two months prior to the event date. These events may take place in local parks, on college campuses, or in the community. You may need to contact local officials or campus administrators to find out what their procedure is for approving such events in your area. Finally, inviting public officials and knowledgeable speakers may bring more media attention to your event.
Support V-Day
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls.
V-Day promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations.
V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sexual slavery. Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of "The Vagina Monologues" to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. The V-Day website (www.vday.org) provides information on holding a Vagina Monologues event in your community. V-Day events often occur during the month of April but also take place throughout the calendar year.
"Walk a Mile in Her Shoes"
During "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" marches, men walk one mile in women's high-heeled shoes to help men gain a better understanding and appreciation of women's experiences. These marches are designed to benefit rape crisis centers, and provide a fun opportunity for men to participate in educating communities about sexual violence. These events also unite the community to discuss connections between gender relations and sexual violence, and to take action to prevent sexual violence. For information, visit the organization online at www.walkamileinhershoes.org.
While these events can be large or small, we encourage you to begin planning at least three months prior to the event date. You may partner with men's groups on college campuses, especially fraternities, or male leaders in your community. For more information, see the tips about partnering with men's organizations that are provided in the campaign materials. Consider partnering with local businesses to provide women's shoes. You may also invite your local media to cover the event. Finally, be sure to check with your local law enforcement officials regarding the legal status of your event and safety issues.
Collaborate on a White Ribbon Campaign
This is a great project to do in conjunction with your local law enforcement agencies and colleges, and it makes for a great press event. The goals of the campaign are to involve men in working to end men's violence against women, to raise awareness in the community, and to support organizations that deal with the consequences of men's violence against women. Men who choose to participate wear a white ribbon and sign a pledge card stating that they will never commit, condone, or remain silent about violence against women. For more information, visit www.whiteribbon.ca.

Unlike many professionally trained welding artists, however, Ownby is self taught. His most recent project of an American bald eagle is so authentic in its detail and appearance that it is hard to imagine such raw talent existing without any training, and yet, the Cleveland resident credits his abilities to being blessed by the greatest Artist of all — God.
"I have been doing art since childhood. When I was 6 or 7 I noticed I was able to draw pretty good," Ownby said. "Over the years I have tried to get better and hone my skills. I've tried different mediums — pastels, charcoal, oil — creating murals, drawings, pictures and sculptures, among other things."
His father, Donnie, was also a gifted artist, according to Ownby, who said both parents encouraged him as much as they could, although their lifestyle was focused more on dairy farming. But his skill as an artist and craftsman would not be denied. Inspired by the desire to create something unique for his wife, Ownby set out to do something he had never done before in December 2006.
"I was wanting to make something special for my wife that she couldn't buy," he said. "I saw some scrap metal lying around and said, 'Maybe I could try this.' I drew out an idea of what a dolphin would look like, cut it out and started hammering on it. The end result is this dolphin — my first project. About a year later, I wanted to make something for myself. I've always liked dragons. So I started developing that. In November 2008, I started working on the head of a dragon. Then I started the heating process and hammering on the body, the arms and the legs.
"Since that time I have created a variety of sculptures. They range from a small giraffe head to a dragon with a 5-foot wingspan."
The dragon, weighing some 80 pounds, is constructed from recycled steel, according to Ownby. Each section was heated, hammered and welded to the correct contour. The project took more than 400 hours to complete. Ownby said he sold it to Smokey Mountain Harley Davidson in Maryville.
His finished project of a pouncing American bald eagle has over 1,800 individual feathers and a wing span of 4 feet. It has already been purchased. Ownby said most of his projects are made from recycled materials.
He explained, "The finished projects are sprayed with a urethane clear coat to help preserve the finish while still allowing the metal to show. I enjoy sculptures because it allows me to make my visions into something tangible for others to experience. I can create just about anything you can imagine."
The self-taught welding artist is currently working on a metal skull and an 18 inch sunflower, and is ready to take orders, adding that his prices are based on size and the amount of detail requested.
According to www.gowelding.org, the earliest examples of welding are of welded gold boxes belonging to the Bronze Age.
"The Egyptians also learned the art of welding. Several of their iron tools were made by welding. During the Middle Ages, a set of specialized workmen called blacksmiths came to the fore. Blacksmiths of the Middle Ages welded various types of iron tools by hammering. The welding methods remained more or less unchanged until the dawn of the 19th century."
However, welding has become a more common technique in the art world. For the average person, sculptural welding requires extensive knowledge and skill, because it involves welding materials of different shapes and colors into intricate designs. Ownby said he is thankful to God for his unique gift and would love to make the art of sculpture welding a full-time career.

This was really a good article. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Thanks, Craig.
Ask Andy Murray what he considers the best thing about being Andy Murray and initially he gives an off-the-cuff response. Then, two hours later, he sends a message saying that the best thing about being Andy Murray is "being normal".
Now there are those who may regard this as a remarkable statement, because he is quite the opposite. For a start, Murray is a British tennis player of world-class standards, above and beyond anyone the country has produced for seven decades, which makes him distinctly abnormal.
We assume, therefore, he is simply telling everyone that he is really nothing special but a young man with dreams who is doing everything he can to fulfil them — and in that, he finds normality.
The Australian Open, starting in Melbourne a week today, is his 25th grand-slam event and he is settling into the consequences of a decision that is regarded as anything but "normal" — employing as his coach someone who has never coached before and was regarded with some contempt in his playing career .
Although Ivan Lendl appeared on the radar as a prospective coach last March — the story in The Times declaring his interest was laughed at — the confirmation on New Year's Eve that he would be joining Team Murray took some believing. In many ways, they are a perfect fit, two people in an existence that is terribly solitary who sought the allegiance, the difference, that could deliver widespread acceptance.
Lendl's saviour was Tony Roche, the Australian coach; could Lendl be Murray's? No one can know for sure, but unless you dip your toes into the waters, how could you know? In the aftermath of his victory in the Brisbane International — defeating Alexandr Dolgopolov, of Ukraine, 6-1, 6-3 in the final — Murray started to explain his reasoning behind the move, and it made for fascinating listening.
"You learn a lot of things about yourself each year on tour," he said. "Last year I had a lot of big downs and tough losses. It [his career] could have gone the other way after Indian Wells and Miami [where he lost to American qualifiers in the first round of both tournaments] but I kept coming back well from big disappointments.
"I know there will be more losses to take, but it's what you do after them that counts. I've spoken to Ivan a little bit about this process and it is what we will work on. I could lose first round in the Open, but I cannot panic, I have to believe in what I am doing, how I am working, the guys around me.
"It might take three months, it might take 15, but I know I'm going in the right direction. There are things this week I did very well that will stand me in good stead for the Australian Open: I conserved energy; mentally, I was superb, especially in the last three matches. I'll keep working on that.
"Growing up, you learn the things that aren't acceptable on the court because so much of it doesn't come naturally to me. Yes, I'm an emotional person but I'm not an angry person, I never have fights, never have arguments with anyone because it's not in my nature. What you see on court isn't what I'm like away from it.
"A lot of things can contribute — pressure can do funny things, nerves as well, but there are ways of getting over that, of dealing with it and this week was a good start. I want to do a good job of it at the Australian Open and beyond."
Murray was optimistic about his working relationship with Lendl. "It's only been four days, but just the way he operates is good for me," he said. "We finished the match today, he was straight to the airport, it's 'see you on Tuesday'.
"He understands the way it needs to work. He won't be on to me every single minute of the day but the time we spend together will be honest, open, good fun. He's not worried about today's match, or the day before, or the Open, he is worried about putting in the right work, giving everything I can.
"People say I haven't done this and I haven't done that, but as long as I give 100 per cent and put in the hard work, there's nothing more that I can do.
"Someone like Lendl is not going to let me get away with 90 per cent. I'll give everything I can and he will make sure I'm prepared as well as possible and have the right mindset for the big events.
"I'm really looking forward to it and I hope he is as well."
Murray's on-court antics have not been good enough, and he knows it, which is half the battle. If he did not accept what he has done in the past, screaming at his corner, yanking at his shorts and his wristbands, thumping his thighs, fulminating against the world, rather than simply playing a match, it would be dangerous.
"In many respects it [the criticism he has received] has been fair," he said. "It's something I'll get better at. The good thing is that it is that [his behaviour] — and not something that's glaringly obvious that's wrong in my game — that needs to improve.
"But at no stage last year did I see Novak [Djokovic] go a match without saying anything. I saw him go nuts on the court and win matches. Sometimes it was almost like he wasn't trying for a set and then he would come back.
"You can break a racket, but if you serve an ace the next point, that is what matters. In the first two rounds this week, I was angry with myself a few times, but I kept coming up with first serves. There were two break points against [Gilles] Müller and I hit two first serves back to back. So long as you have a clear head when the next point starts, that's what matters."
That clear-headed theory will be tested as never before in the next three weeks. From tomorrow, at Melbourne Park, the coaching regime with Lendl and all that it entails will start for real. There is a week to go before a grand-slam event and not a moment to waste. It is a time when Murray will find out if "being normal" cuts the mustard.

Another little Story by Neil Harman
Ivan Lendl will make himself available for one round-table discussion later this week to talk about what lured him back to tennis full time. Then, as best he can, he will retreat from the debate and let Andy Murray do all the talking.
The former world No 1 does not want the fascination surrounding his return as Murray's coach to overshadow the job he wants to do with the British No 1, the subtleties of which will hopefully become apparent in the next few months.
At the end of the Brisbane International, at which he spent just over 48 hours, Lendl disappeared as quickly as he could to the airport with Marika, his eldest daughter with whom he had travelled from his home in the United States. He had to have his arm twisted to say anything. "I thought Andy was great today," the coach said. "He fought for every point, it could not have been much better, and I thought that his composure was fantastic."
The final comment was the nugget. If Lendl's appearance in Murray's corner has one defining impact, it has to be that, on the court, the player stops wasting the precious energy that has cost him dear in previous big matches. If he can sustain, during the Australian Open, the focus that he brought to his past three matches in Queensland, Lendl's recruitment will have been worth every nickel.
Not once did he utter a comment to his corner, where Lendl has joined Dani Vallverdu, Murray's long-time friend and hitting partner. Not once did he give them a stare, or show his feelings. And he did not drop a set in that time.
On Friday, he will play a final pre-Open match at the AAMI Classic in Kooyong, against David Nalbandian, of Argentina; the same day we will learn who stands between him and the Open glory he so desperately seeks

Andy has tried to deny it in the past. But it is clear that it's his mentality that is the number one consideration for both his coach and crucially himself.
I thought he came across as very mature and thoughtful in the interview, it's not going to be easy to change this but he's clearly no longer in denial about it and that's good.
I never thought that all the grabbing and shouting and acting out was the 'Real Andy' & so we should just accept it, he's nothing like this in any other context! They were the signs of Disquiet, immaturity and simply the wrong attitude that he can no longer take with him if he's to maximise his true potential, and that's exactly what he and Lendl are going to do.

Interesting article, the answer to the last question was quite adamant, and for the first time I think maybe he really feels like that which I definately think is a good thing.

It was a pleasure working with everyone at SPS. I appreciate the extremely fast quote and the expedited order of our system. Thanks again for great service.
Everyone I spoke with was extremely professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I was blown away at the follow-up.
The SPS team did a great job for us on this project ―overall a very strong team.
"I have worked with SPS for the last 11 or 12 years and they truly are a business partner, not just a vendor. Everyone I've worked with is outstanding and has met or exceeded my expectations."
I don't think I've ever had a single bad experience with an SPS project manager, technician or anyone else on an implementation.
"Everyone on this project gets a 10. We've built a great partnership with SPS and are very satisfied."
Everyone I worked with on this project gets a 10. I remember the experience far better than I remember the individual players but they were all good.
The fact that we keep coming back should be a testimony as to how happy we have been with the service we receive from SPS. Very knowledgeable team members and turnkey solutions.
I have always been very pleased with the SPS project management and implementation teams. They are knowledgeable of the products, professional and a pleasure to work with. They keep their eye on the goal, but are flexible with working around particular needs. That's what keeps bringing us back.
My SPS Account Manager not only put together a system recommendation to fit our needs but also helped with all the cabling required. Every person we had contact with from start to finish was very professional and incredibly responsive. It was truly a pleasure to work with the SPS team once again - I wish more companies would take a page out of SPS' playbook.
I continue to be impressed with the level of support we receive from the SPS Technical Services team. They consistently deliver — their response and concern for the end user is quick, thorough and appreciated. I have the best support team from SPS and appreciate their commitment!
