KCAP Architects&Planners is celebrating its 20th anniversary today. Since its founding in 1989 by Kees Christiaanse, KCAP has grown to become an leading international office for architecture and urban design, with projects around the world.
"Scale is an important theme in our work. We're not specialists, but we work on all scales – from the planning of the infrastructure to the details of the façade. And this multiplicity of scales is of benefit to the development and analysis of functional programmes and conceptional ideas," says Christiaanse.
Key projects of KCAP's portfolio are the residential building Kavel 25 in The Hague, which marks the starting point of KCAP's career, the GWL site in Amsterdam as the first sustainable housing quarter in The Netherlands and, most recently, the residential tower, The Red Apple, in Rotterdam. Major urban projects are Stadionpark Rotterdam (NL), Olympic Legacy London (UK), Perm Strategic Masterplan (RU) and Hafencity Hamburg (DE), which is currently under construction.
Education and research has been a continual foundation of KCAP which has produced successful cross-fertilisations, generated various publications and has gained Kees Christiaanse the position of curator of the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) in 2009.
"We see our task as urban designers and architects as to observe and listen well and to use design as an instrument to create functional, aesthetic and inspiring environments for daily life", says Kees Christiaanse. "In the past 20 years we have developed specific experiences and skills in creating urban breeding grounds that stimulate social interaction. With the challenges of the Urban Age increasing rather than decreasing we will keep developing this knowledge to provide answers for the future of cities."

PAWTUCKET - Daisuke Matsuzaka offered a reminder Monday night that the road back from Tommy John surgery is not always clear and straight.
Matsuzaka pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his third rehab start at McCoy Stadium, allowing two hits. Reliever Alex Wilson stranded both of the runners he inherited from Matsuzaka by getting a two-out ground ball on which Pedro Ciriaco made a rangy play.
Mark Melancon then pitched a scoreless ninth inning to close out a 4-0 win for Pawtucket over the Rochester Red Wings.
After striking out a combined 10 hitters against two walks in his first two rehab starts, Matsuzaka struck out four hitters and walked three Monday.
"It wasn't like he was all over the place," PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler said. "The fastball had some bite to it, and a lot of the swing and misses were down in the zone."
But Matsuzaka needed 87 pitches to throw his 4 2/3 innings, and he didn't sound afterwards like everything was smooth sailing with his surgically repaired elbow.
"Overall, my body feels good, so that's fine," Matsuzaka said through interpreter Jeff Cutler, "but my elbow, depending on the day - some days it feels better than others. Right now, I'm hoping when I start, it hits the day I'm feeling good."
Matsuzaka's fastball topped out at 91 mph but sat around 89-90 in the early innings and dipped to 86-88 in the middle innings. Of his four strikeouts, two were swinging - one on a slider, one on a sinker - and two were called.
"I didn't discuss with the catcher what kind of pitches I wanted to work on, but I ended up throwing a lot of two-seams and it ended up being a good practice for that pitch," he said. "I was throwing a lot of off-speed pitches. That's what I wanted to do. That's why I was shaking the catcher off a few times. ... I was able to work on what I wanted to work on. I'm planning on throwing a lot more fastballs next time."
Matsuzaka underwent Tommy John surgery last June, cutting short a season in which he had a 5.30 ERA in 37 1/3 innings pitched. He came into spring training in February well ahead of schedule. He made his first rehab start with Single-A Salem on April 23, his second rehab start with Double-A Portland five days after that. He began to feel soreness in his neck after his second start, however, and his third start was pushed back from Friday to Monday.
"Because of all the travel by car, all the flights, it caused my back to tighten up a little bit, and it came up to my neck," he said. "But after treatment for about three days with the trainers, I felt a lot better and there's nothing to be concerned with."
Matsuzaka has more than two weeks left in his 30-day rehab window, meaning he could make as many as three more starts for the PawSox before the Red Sox have to call him up. He likely will make his next start at McCoy Stadium on Saturday.
"It's a step-by-step process, a game-by-game process," he said. "I'll just go see how I pitch my next outing and see how that goes and see where I stand then."

Forums >Health and Nutrition>A calculator to make runners happy.
Try this out -- your fitness age.
The Logic of Long Distance
Muddling through
How do they get a VO2Max from that data? Nice to know my fitness age is a little over half my chronological age.
2015 Goals: Run IAT50K, run first 100K, and exceed 100K in a 24-Hour race
Ha. That calculator was no doubt cooked up by a runner. Every question is skewed towards what we are/do, factors like height, build and strength are completely ignored.
How do they get a VO2Max from that data?
Here's the article that describes the methodology.
I like this calculator.
Running Goals ...
"Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great." John D. Rockefeller
Latent Runner
While the calculator is entertaining, I don't put too much stock in it. I mean geez, I'm 56, a bit overweight, a decent but not elite runner for my age group, and yet it says my VO2max is 57 and my fitness age is "younger than 20". Nah, not buying, hell, I'd be surprised of my VO2max was even in the upper 40s, and while I might believe a fitness age of thirty something, I'm definitely not as spry as your average teenager.
Fat old man PRs:
Maggie & Molly
accurate or not it made me smile see "fitness age under 20" teehee
"It does not matter how slow you go so long as you do not stop."Wisdom of Confucius
Me too, in the same way I like the broken GPS in my phone that tells me I'm running nice, easy casual 3-6 minute miles.
LOL, my garmin is usually accurate but it did have me sprinting at 36 MPH for a short distance on one occasion. I wish I was that fast!
You sure you entered your waist in cm?
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject.
Oh roo roooo!
Ha, good thought--that would surely make a difference! It was actually fairly close for me, not that it matters one way or another, I guess.
I was wondering why the heck I was out there this morning running a 20miler - what kind of nuts must I be? I feel it's completely and absolutely justified now. Thanks Jeff.
Yup 82 centimeters; I think the skewing factor is my heart rate, I've always had a slow pulse, and even though it has gotten faster as I've gotten older, it is still only 42 when I'm chilled out.

About Us
The Department of Neurology is at the forefront of discovery in the battle to conquer a wide variety of neurological disorders and is one of the top 10 programs in the country in research funding for a variety of neurological diseases. Our faculty are working every day to make life easier for those dealing with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, strokes and other debilitating diseases.
Among Our Accomplishments:
Department of Neurology researchers recently found a strong association between specific genetic variations and increased risk of stroke in younger women. They hope to use this discovery to someday develop a genetic test to identify women who may be at greater risk of stroke, so at-risk women can receive more intensive screening and counseling for other stroke risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure and the use of oral contraceptives.
Department chair William Weiner was a senior author of the American Academy of Neurology's new guidelines for diagnosing and treating Parkinson's, which affects almost a million people a year in the U.S. and Canada alone. The guidelines refute popular misconceptions about Parkinson's, including the belief that nutritional supplements can slow disease progression or relieve symptoms.
Faculty from our department staff the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
Free seminars are offered by faculty members to those considering Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) to offset the ravages of Parkinson's disease.
Many members of our department are part of the Brain Attack Team (BAT), a highly specialized team of neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurses and other health professionals who provide the rapid evaluation and initiation of treatment for brain attack (stroke) patients, using the most advanced approaches and technologies.
Other faculty staff the Maryland Center for Multiple Sclerosis.

If you want an accurate figure, 7 milligrams of 14k gold is 23¢. My point was that there was no way that card contained $100 worth of gold, which is in fact true. Maybe not by the 99% margin I gave it, but still 51%. It is not like people are going to cash the things in for gold content. So the accuracy of my generalization means very little.

He takes a pearl necklace for a price and gives words in return, or he takes scattered words and gives a beautiful pearl necklace in exchange. If one who is experiencing difficulties in wakefulness changes some

Citron Dream Explanation
— Citron, also called Adam's apple or pie melon, is a good thing to dream of in view of its nice smell and other qualities. It refers to the devout Muslim who reads the Quran very often. The best that could be dreamt of is a green one. One, two, or three citrons mean children. Many pie melons mean
and a good repute.
• Eating sweet citrons: Will amass
or obtain
made by
• Eating sour or bitter citrons: Will have a mild disease.
• Cutting off or picking a citron: The dreamer has a sound body and will enjoy a fertile year. The yellow citron alludes to a prosperous year, but not one devoid of a mild disease.

birth to a boy and a girl of frail health.
• A woman dreaming that she has citrons on her knees: Will

birth to a tyrant.
• Eating or swallowing sperm: A reference to water or mucus.
Bucket Dream Explanation
— (Well) If one sees himself drawing water from a well with a bucket in a dream, it means that he earns his
through deception, that is to acquire unlawful
. If he finds
inside the bucket instead of water in the dream, it means that he will suffer from a calamity. If he draws water from the well to fill a pitcher in the dream, it means that such
will soon be spent or that its benefits will be mixed with misdeeds. If one sees himself watering a garden from that bucket in a dream, it means that he will get married and benefit from his wife's wealth. If the garden blossoms with flowers in the dream, it means that he will beget a son. If one sees himself drawing water from an old well to
water to his camels or to provide drinks for people in a dream, it means that he performs good deeds and that he is a charitable person. He then becomes like a shepherd. If one draws water from an old well to
drink to animals in his dream, it means that he is a hypocrite and through falsehood, he fabricates as many tricks as the amount of water he draws from that old well. If one sees himself lowering the bucket into the well for himself to drink in the dream, it means that his so-called charitable deeds are solely done for his worldly gains,
, respect or status. If a prisoner sees himself drawing water with a bucket to take a bath in a dream, it means that he will escape from jail or that he will be released shortly. It also means that he will receive
and rejoice after his sorrows. If one's wife is pregnant and if he sees himself lowering a bucket in a well to draw water in a dream, it means that his wife will deliver a son. If he is a merchant, it means that his new merchandise will arrive safely to his shop. If he is sick, it means that he will miraculously wake-up healthy again. Standing by a well in a dream means blessings and benefits. A well in a dream also represents a woman. Otherwise, if one is a student, then the well represents his teacher. What one draws from a well in a dream also represents his luck.
Mirror Dream Explanation
— it symbolises a perbond wife. If a person sees himself as looking into a mirror, if his wife is expecting, she will
birth to a son who will resemble him. But if she is not nor does he have a son it means he will lose his job and someone else will take his position. If a pregnant woman sees herself looking into the mirror she will
birth to a girl who will resemble her in every way. But if she is not pregnant it means her husband will marry another woman who will occupy the same house. If a little boys sees himself looking into a mirror, a brother resembling him will be born. And if a little girl happens to see the same dream her moth will
birth to a girl.
Pear Dream Explanation

1 Mikhtam. By David: Protect me, God, for you are my refuge. | 1 Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge. |
2 I said to ADONAI, "You are my Lord; I have nothing good outside of you." | 2 I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing." |
3 The holy people in the land are the ones who are worthy of honor; all my pleasure is in them. | 3 As for the saints who are in the land, they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight. |
4 Those who run after another god multiply their sorrows; To such gods I will not offer drink offerings of blood or take their names on my lips. | 4 The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods. I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips. |
5 ADONAI, my assigned portion, my cup: you safeguard my share. | 5 LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. |
6 Pleasant places were measured out for me; I am content with my heritage. | 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. |
7 I bless ADONAI, my counselor; at night my inmost being instructs me. | 7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. |
8 I always set ADONAI before me; with him at my right hand, I can never be moved; | 8 I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. |
9 so my heart is glad, my glory rejoices, and my body too rests in safety; | 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, |
10 for you will not abandon me to Sh'ol, you will not let your faithful one see the Abyss. | 10 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay. |
11 You make me know the path of life; in your presence is unbounded joy, in your right hand eternal delight. | 11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. |

Still have quite a few that haven't bloomed yet but they are putting up scapes so hopefully it won't be long now before I see some blooms on something that hasn't bloomed yet. The Daylily show I went to on Saturday went well. I showed in the Off Scape section because most of what I had blooming were on scapes that had been blooming for a while and not in the best condition to take to a show. I took 8 blooms and got 4 blues and 4 reds so I was pretty happy also I entered the photography section and my photo of Green Derby won the single bloom division. Anyway here are some new photos I hope you all enjoy them. Linda |

Flying Frog Farm Reunion in Allen County, Kentucky
The Flying Frog Farm was a commune set up in Allen County, Kentucky in the early 1970s. In this program we hear from some of its members, many of whom reconvened at the farm recently to celebrate the group's 40th anniversary.
This is the last in the occasional series of radio features about local culture in South Central Kentucky, produced by Rachel Hopkin. Rachel recently completed her graduate studies in the WKU Department of Folk Studies and Anthropology.

Ok, first thingsfirst : everyone needs to go to their ipa directory and back up the "comics 2.2.1.ipa" file.
On the PC it will be here: My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Mobile Applications
On the Mac, your iPhone applications are stored in your iTunes folder. There's a sub-folder called Mobile Applications, which sits along side the iTunes Music folder, the Album Artwork folder, and so forth.
Copy this file to a safe location. If things don't get resolved with Apple, and you accidentally delete this, it is unlikely you will ever be able to get it back
What happened:
Its already a year later, but I thought I should rewrite this with a little more perspective and a cooler head.
Basically, Apple called me to tell me I had to remove USB support from my app. But this was at a time when I was very attatched to my customers.
These were the people who gave me really great reviews, were always excited for the new features, and by buying my app supported me in doing what I loved.
I felt very very loyal and thankful to all of my customers, and so I was really torn when Apple told me to take away something from them that I knew was important.
So instead of thinking clearly about what to do, I let my emotions get the best of me, and made a decision that I'm not proud of.
I tried to hide the USB support from Apple so that my customers could keep it.
Was it a good plan? No. Was it well thought out? No.
Did it help my customers? No. And that's really the worst part of all of this. Because of my carelessness, newer customers ended up getting stuck with a beta version that I couldn't support.
In the end, everyone suffered because of my mistake. And everyone continues to do so, and I fear I have no idea how long it will last.
Now that the year is up, I can only hope Apple decides to let me back in, and go back to making great software for everyone.
Lessons Learned:
I really do hope I get back in, and I'm trying my very best, and talking to several people who may be able to help me.
If I do get back in, then I can assure you that this kind of thing will NEVER EVER happen again. The consequences, the betrayal to you guys; no feature could ever be worth risking that again.
But I've also learned a LOT about how to address these issues in the future. There's no need to rely on shady practices to get around Apple. There are actually proper channels I can go through with Apple to get their permission to do things, even if they may break their rules. Its important that I'm UPFRONT with them, and always let them know exactly what I'm doing, even at the risk of rejection. After all its not the fact that I HAD usb support that got me banned, it was that I HID it from them that was the cause of all this.
You guys have been awesome, and remarkably understanding. I promise I will do everything I can to try to make sure that you can at least get your final update.
Thank you,

Abandoned baby found in plastic bag now a 'survivor'
Baby Chloe gets second chance at life
HOUSTON - The beginning of life for baby Chloe was unthinkable. Just seven days old, she was discovered in a grocery bag on a dead-end street in Texas.
Investigators are calling the baby a survivor and they're asking for the public's help identifying the newborn's parents or relatives, reporters at www.abclocal.go.com said.
Chloe, as doctors call her, is just a week old and the little survivor's now getting a second chance at life after being abandoned in a Walmart grocery bag last Tuesday at an apartment complex in Houston.
Child Protective Services spokesperson Estella Olguin said, "A woman was walking her dog around 7:15 p.m. that evening, and her dog started barking at a bag. She took the dog back in to the apartment and went to look in the bag and discovered a newborn."
Chloe was 4 pounds, 12 ounces when she was discovered. The baby's been getting treatment at Texas Children's Hospital for the past week.
"To this date, we don't have any leads," Olguin said. "We don't know who the parents might be. No one has come forward to identify the baby. So, we just want to see if anyone might recognize the baby, anyone who knows some information as to who the mother might be."
Investigators say Chloe appears to be a late pre-term baby, maybe 36 to 37 weeks gestation. Also, the newborn already has one bottom tooth -- possibly a unique genetic trait.
As this investigation continues, Child Protective Services is placing baby Chloe with licensed foster parents.
"If nobody comes forward, no relatives nor parents, then we will be terminating the rights on the unknown parents and the baby will be placed for adoption," Olguin explained.
It's possible the child's mother could face criminal charges. A court hearing on this case is scheduled for next week. CPS is asking anyone with information on the baby's mother or relatives to call the case worker at 281-847-4192.

NIU police chief disciplined, another fired for alleged misconduct in rape investigation
BY BRIAN SLODYSKO AND DAN ROZEK Staff Reporters November 10, 2012 6:09PM
Updated: November 11, 2012 6:06PM
The chief of the Northern Illinois University police force was placed on administrative leave Saturday and one of his chief deputies will likely be fired in continuing fallout from a botched investigation of an officer accused of sexually assaulting a university student.
NIU Police Chief Donald Grady, 59, was placed on leave as the school finalizes disciplinary charges against him, school officials announced in a statement Saturday. A deputy chief will run the department in his absence.
Meanwhile, Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan, who is accused of withholding details of the probe, was also notified that administrative proceedings are underway to fire him.
The moves by the school come after a Dekalb County judge ruled Friday that the trial of former NIU police officer, Andrew Rifkin, can continue despite the fact that department investigators withheld evidence favorable to him.
"The findings of the court called into question the integrity of the criminal investigatory process, and we cannot under any circumstances tolerate such clear breaches of contracts, authority and responsibility. Although it pains me greatly that the university had to take these actions today, we must always strive to do the right thing," NIU President John Peters said in Saturday's statement.
Rifkin, who was a police officer at the time of the investigation, was charged last November after an NIU student alleged he had sexually assaulted her.
At the time NIU police interviewed two friends of the student who said the alleged victim had talked about being involved in a consensual relationship with Rifkin.
But Ramakrishnan, who interviewed the students, never turned over those statements to prosecutors or Rifkin's attorney. Ramakrishnan testified at a hearing last week that he had inadvertently put the statements in Rifkin's personnel file, rather than turning them over to prosecutors.
DeKalb County Judge Robbin Stuckert said in a ruling last week she didn't believe that explanation, instead concluding there was a "purposeful hiding of information."
But on Friday she said the actions weren't damaging enough to warrant throwing out the charge against Rifkin, who has since been fired.
Initially school officials indicated Grady would remain as chief, though the school did appoint a new "acting director of public safety" to increase oversight
Additionally, the school has asked the State Police to review and assist NIU police with ongoing investigations. That effort is intended to "reassure the public that these inquiries are without conflict of interest," Peters said in a statement.
Grady has served as NIU police chief since 2001, though his tenure has been marked with drama and controversy.
Grady was praised for his actions on Feb. 14, 2008 when a gunman opened fire during a class at Cole Hall on the school's DeKalb campus.
The chief sprinted across campus and personally led the first group of police officers inside the auditorium to confront gunman Steven Kazmierczak, though the former NIU grad student already had killed himself.
Five students died in the attack, but students and faculty praised his quick action and strong presence in the days after the shooting spree.
In 2009, though, the chief was suspended with pay for 30 days after the student newspaper accused him of trying to bribe an editor to write a positive story about a university police officer.
But Grady was reinstated after a university probe found no evidence of misconduct.

Mike Love: "I would like to write songs with my cousin Brian Wilson"
The Beach Boys' Mike Love, speaking in the new issue of Uncut, has revealed he is keen to write more songs with his cousin Brian Wilson.
Love is currently touring with Bruce Johnston as The Beach Boys, using a different band to the one that backed Love, Johnston, Wilson, Al Jardine and David Marks on last year's worldwide 50th anniversary tour.
Asked whether a live or studio reunion with the surviving original members could happen again, Love says: "I don't know. I know they've announced Brian is working on a solo album. He may have two or three projects he's working on, so he's pretty busy.
"As far as getting together again, it remains to be seen. I would like to write songs with my cousin Brian. I'd be up for doing that. I'll leave it there."
The reunited Beach Boys released a new album, That's Why God Made The Radio, in June 2012.

Friend for even more doors and keeping me positive on rebuilding the "idol hangout" maze!
too bad I rebuilt it with rare blue tables eh?
Thanks to Summer for being there and understanding my temper-tantrum after I saw the top ten award. We've been robbed in the worse way possible and you helped me keep cooler than I actually was.
Thanks to the team for their parts on the EE build, I'm completely livid right now that you all did not get the recognition you so deserve, so don't get mad, I'm mad enough for all of us!
Now Joey - Don't go scaring Summer away!!! She just joined us!!! LOL
Keep it cool brother...
A "Thanks" goes to Dumbogal for gifting me my first Wanted Poster! I had kept missing that while on park quests.
ps. Don't forget the "tear key foot". LOL

Versus Ohrustenny Quest
From Red Medusa Productions, creators of the Versus flash animation series, and XPYC Team, creators of... potato chips (I think?), comes VerSus Ohrustenny Quest. The small amounts of in-game text are in Russian, but the general story of this point-and-click adventure should be clear in seconds: a fair maiden has been kidnapped, and it's up to the Fourth Musketeer (who, lest we forget, is actually a swordsman) to rescue her from her captors. A little naughty as potato chip commercials go, but fans of physical comedy will find it definitely worth an impulse try.

That was....weird.
Good. But weird. Racier than one usually sees around here....definitely earned that orange :S label. The animation is very well done, there was certainly time put into this. And the "music" and sound effects were nice touches and suited the visual style.
And it's weird.
On the Mario stage, just keep blasting and you'll eventually hit him. But that's the end of the game, so you're not missing anything.
Nice game, overall - would like to have seen more levels. I like the concept of point and click game not just as "choose the correct path or die", but more as "we'll entertain you with several wrong paths before we direct you to the right one". But this only works, like here, when the animation and story were great.

Research in my laboratory focuses on neural development. We study functions crucial to neuronal maturation during embryogenesis and in the neurons of the visual system. Our other interest is the study of development and function of specific transmitter/modulator neuronal subsets. We have chosen to use the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, as our model system because of the wealth of genetic and molecular approaches possible in this organism.

The developing Drosophila retina has proven enormously useful in addressing the basic questions of cell fate choice and patterning within a neuroepithelium. Perhaps its greatest virtue is its simplicity: the fly retina represents a simple micro-nervous system composed of only twenty cell types. The powerful molecular and genetic tools available in Drosophila , combined with a detailed morphological description of fly retinal development, has allowed these studies to be conducted with single cell resolution.

Dad has kids home safe after legal fight with their mom who took them to Mexico
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com June 6, 2014 11:48PM
David Bernat holds his children, Joseph and Angela, after having them returned to him after their mother took them to Mexico. | Supplied photo
Updated: July 9, 2014 6:03AM
Christmas wasn't celebrated until shortly after Easter this year at David Bernat's Palos Heights home, where the decorated tree stood hovering over his children's unwrapped presents since the winter holiday.
Santa Claus didn't make it to San Pedro, in Coahuila, Mexico, where his children — Joseph and Angela — had been taken in July by their mother, from whom Bernat is divorced. So the first thing they wanted to do when their father brought them back home on April 29 was open those presents.
"It was late when we got home, but I let them open their stockings," Bernat said. Then, like on a Christmas morning, his kids awoke early the next day, eager to see what Santa had delivered.
Joseph, 9, was thrilled about the Legos Minecraft set and a stack of books "this high," he said, gesturing above his waist. He also talked excitedly about hunting and fishing with his dad with the new gear he belatedly received for his August birthday, while soon-to-be 6-year-old Angela danced around in her new pink gym shoes.
Having his two kids back in his arms was Bernat's best Christmas gift ever.
The past nine months without them was "horrific," Bernat said.
"My son could not understand why I couldn't just come to Mexico and get him," said Bernat, now exhilarated and exhausted by his nine-month quest. "He told me to take money out of his piggy bank, pack a cooler and hop on a bus, like they did."
His children don't realize they had been taken by their mother despite their father having residential custody, and never knew the legal complexities of their situation. It took awhile for their father to figure it out, too.
Bernat said he soon realized this ordeal was "not for the faint of heart."
He spent hours on the Internet searching for the best solutions, the best attorneys. He heard "horror stories" from other parents who waited four, five, six years to get their children back, or who were arrested while visiting their children in other country. He became aware of companies that prey on these grieving parents.
He took a leave of absence from his job and devoted his life to getting Joseph and Angela safely back home.
"My life revolves around my kids," he said.
When Bernat and his wife divorced in April 2013, he was awarded residential custody of Joseph and Angela.
"We thought it was best to have good relationships with both parents. We split weekends, holidays and summer vacation," he said. "When I filed for divorce, she threatened to take them to Mexico. That was always a concern."
He said he contacted "every government agency" about that threat but was told they could do nothing unless his ex-wife actually took them to Mexico.
That's exactly what she did during a visit on July 26, heading south of the border without passports to her father's house in San Pedro, Bernat said.
Mexico is where many abducted children are taken, according to U.S. State Department statistics. In 2013 there were 1,004 children taken out of the United States and 326 went to Mexico.
"She took the kids in violation of a court order. The law is very clear. She could not even take them to another state without court permission," said Bernat's attorney, David Schaffer.
The following Monday, Bernat filed an emergency petition in court for the immediate return of his children and began researching what to do next.
"I thought this would be cut and dried because I had legal custody," he said, as he sat in his attorney's office six months ago, broken-hearted but focused.
His background in business management kicked into high gear.
"Internally I am screaming. At times, I am in my room crying but I know I have to remain focused. Otherwise, what good am I?" he said then.
It was important to resolve this quickly, because the longer the kids were gone, "the more their minds can be poisoned and the more they will be alienated from their father," his attorney said. "If you do this wrong, kids' lives are at stake."
Bernat refused to do a "snatch and grab" and was determined to have his kids returned legally.
It took him months to find Schaffer, who specializes in international abductions and helped him file the documents needed to obtain a "letter rogatory," a formal request to obtain judicial assistance in another country.
Parents typically get referred to the State Department, which follows the Hague Abduction Convention, an international treaty between the United States and 73 member countries to provide a legal framework for parents to seek the return of their children to the country of their habitual residence — the "best tool" for resolving such cases, according to a State Department official.
The United States and Mexico both recognize the Hague Convention, but according to the department's website, there have been "enforcement concerns" with Mexico.
Bernat notified the FBI, the state's attorney's office, his U.S. senators and congressmen hoping to get help in the prompt return of his children, all to no avail. He even launched a Facebook page "Bring Joseph and Angela back home."
He found many resources, but the one he came to rely on was the International Expertise Center ChildAbduction.com, (IECC) a Netherlands firm founded by Anselmo Llobera, a father whose own children were abducted, and who now is dedicated to helping other parents recover their children.
When asked to comment on the "efficiency" of the Hague process, the State Department official stated in an email that 113 children were returned to the United States in 2013 from Convention partner countries as a result of a court order in a Hague proceeding.
"We help the parent or legal guardian understand the available options for pursuing the return of their child. We also work with our embassies and with our foreign counterparts to locate the abducted child, confirm the child's welfare, and encourage voluntary return," the official said in the email.
The time involved in resolving a child's case under the Hague Abduction Convention depends on the facts of each case and judicial system of the respective Hague partner country, the official said.
According to the State Department website, another 103 children were denied return through the Hague, while 402 were returned voluntarily.
Based on what Bernat learned from other parents, he rejected the Hague process as a lengthy and inefficient "nightmare," and he put his faith in Llobera.
"I talked to a lot of people and I felt comfortable with him," he said, adding that Llobera also provided names of past clients for references and put him in touch with international attorneys.
In September, Llobera took Bernat to Mexico to meet with judges through the Mexican Central Authority who work on Hague cases. Judges told him they often see fraudulent documents, so Bernat needed to assemble and authenticate his documents. Since he did not file a Hague application, the State Department "didn't want to lift a finger to help me," he said.
He gathered his paperwork — some needed to be certified, notarized or translated into Spanish — his emergency order for the return of his children, divorce and custody papers, passports, birth certificates, fingerprints, baptismal records, Social Security cards, state identification, school and medical records.
"The cost is unconscionable," said Bernat, who estimated that it cost nearly $100,000, including his initial custody battle, his trips to Mexico, and Llobera's and attorney fees.
"It is financially draining. But your children's lives are at stake. I had to beg from everyone I know. I liquidated everything I could liquidate. It is so, so hard. I felt like a beggar on the street. It is degrading," he said, adding that he was "fortunate to have good friends."
Minus the assistance of the State Department, it took six months to verify his documents. During those six months, he was able to visit Joseph and Angela once.
Unlike some parents in similar situations, Bernat knew where his kids were and was able to call them regularly.
The conversations were "all over the board," he said. "Sometimes, when talking to Joseph, I heard Angela crying in the background, 'I want to come home. I want to be with you. Mommy won't let me come home.' They didn't like school. They missed their school and their friends here."
Other times, they would talk happily about what they did in school, or they wanted their father to come to a school program or recital.
Both children struggled to adapt to the foreign country.
"It's hard to listen to your children bawling their eyes out. You can't lose it when you are talking with them. I waited until I hung up," Bernat said.
"The only explanation I have given my kids is that Mommy was not supposed to have taken them to Mexico. Mommy was supposed to stay here in Chicago so they could spend time with both of us because that's what was fair to them, fair to my ex and myself," Bernat said.
Now, he said, their mother, who remains in Mexico and doesn't have a local attorney, would have to get a special visitation visa through the Mexican Department of Foreign Affairs and would be allowed only supervised visits.
"For people in this situation, the laws need to change to make this process easier and faster," Bernat said.
The best advice he offers parents whose children have been taken out of the country is twofold: "Immediately go to court and have an order entered by a judge for the immediate return of your children, and call Anselmo before you do anything else."
Bernat was awakened at 1:30 a.m. April 24 by a call from Llobera in his Netherlands office, telling Bernat he finally could pick up his children. By 8 a.m. April 25, Bernat had arrived in Mexico for the first of two hearings. His ex-wife and children had been notified and a police officer was posted at their home to ensure she would not flee again, he said.
By April 29, they had driven across the border and flew back to Palos Heights from Texas, "exhausted, excited and flat broke," he said.
"Everyone is happy," Bernat said, as he prepared to register them in school a few days later. "It's almost like they never left."

Growing up in the suburban Northeast, I didn't fit in. At my large, mostly-white, upper-middle-class high school, I wasn't the funniest, the smartest, the most charming, or the prettiest: therefore, I didn't really exist. Other kids cared about their Abercrombie & Fitch polos, what went down at the last Dave Matthews Band concert, and the Jettas they would pick out on their 16th birthday. That wasn't me at all. I had tons of books on my shelves, a stud in my tongue, and every single Ani Di Franco album in existence. For three whole years, I mostly just rattled around in my own head.
Then, in the year 2000, when I was 16 and in junior year, my dad put the computer in our family room on the Internet. (This was back in the the Dark Ages when a family usually had one computer, it was shared by everyone, and it was usually a desktop.) I don't know how I found my way there, exactly, but I soon discovered gURL.com, "a teen site and community for teen girls." On gURL.com I could read about dating and sex and birth control (not that I had use for much of that information just yet) and talk with other teen girls in the site's chat rooms. And through links on gURL.com, I found my way to other websites that interested me. Pretty soon, my budding-feminist-self read all about things they didn't discuss in school — abortion rights and the Taliban — on Salon.com and websites for the Feminist Majority Foundation and Ms. Magazine.
