Arrow Exterminators Educates Potential Homebuyers On the Importance of Obtaining a Pest Inspection from a Licensed Pest Professional
The housing market is making a comeback. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, "existing-home sales continued to recover in the first quarter with gains reported in 49 states and the District of Columbia." In the south, "existing-home sales increased 8.5 percent." With the housing market on the rebound, many prospective homeowners may want to move quickly to get in on a great deal. However, Arrow Exterminators cautions potential buyers to not overlook a critical component in the process: obtaining a pest inspection from a licensed pest professional.
"As more and more people begin to look for great deals on a new home, they need to keep in mind the importance of obtaining a pest inspection, especially if the property is a foreclosure or short-sale and hasn't been occupied for a long period of time. These uninhabited spaces are the perfect dwelling grounds for termites, wood boring beetles, roaches, ants, rodents and wildlife," said Arrow Exterminators Pest Expert, Shay Runion. "No matter the type of sale, we always encourage new homebuyers to obtain a pest inspection by a licensed pest professional before making such an important decision. Not only will it create peace of mind, but can also potentially save the new homeowner thousands of dollars in structural repairs."
Termites and other wood destroying organisms, in particular, can cause serious problems for potential homeowners in the south. Termites cause $5 billion worth of property damages each year - a cost rarely covered by homeowner's insurance. A thorough inspection by a licensed pest professional allows potential homeowners to uncover any existing infestations, past damage or conditions conducive to future problems. Upon completion of the inspection, the pest control company will issue documentation guaranteeing their work for a period time providing further protection for home buyers
In addition to wood destroying organisms, cockroaches, ants, house mice and wildlife such as squirrels and roof rats can pose a threat to human health and affect the structure of a home. Cockroaches can cause asthma in children. House mice breed quickly and can bring other unwanted pests into the home like fleas, ticks, mites and lice and wildlife infestations can cause serious structural damage and electrical fires as the chew their way through wires, plastic and wood to find food and shelter and their waste can transmit diseases.

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. (AP) - Federal aviation officials say two people died when a single-engine plane crashed in central California.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said the small plane crashed shortly after 1 p.m. Saturday in a trailer park near Lake Isabella, about 40 miles east of Bakersfield.
The two people aboard the aircraft were killed.
Preliminary information from the FAA indicates the plane was an experimental aircraft called the Airborne Streak 2.
The aircraft is registered to Terry Visser of Lynden, Wash.
Visser said he sold the plane to Don Wright of Bakersfield but had not completed the paperwork.
A telephone message left for Wright was not immediately

"The Russell and Burch Award recognizes scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of alternatives to using animals (Russell and Burch first initiated an alternatives approach to animal use)," says Dr. Martin Stephens, HSUS vice president for animal research issues. "Dr. Spielmann joins an illustrious group of scientists receiving this award, including Johns Hopkins University's Dr. Alan Goldberg. The award presents a unique opportunity for the nation's largest animal protection organization to recognize the important work of scientists who improve the lives of animals used in research, testing and education."
The HSUS established the Russell and Burch award to encourage scientists to pursue new avenues in the alternatives arena. Alternatives to animals in research, testing, and education include replacing animals with substitute methods, reducing the number of animal subjects and refining experiments to diminish pain and suffering.
Dr. Spielmann is a member of the management teams of several validation studies on alternatives, including those in the fields of phototoxicity, embryotoxicity, eye irritation, and skin irritation.
According to Dr. Andrew Rowan, HSUS senior vice president, "Dr. Spielmann has been a leader in the alternatives field not only in his native Germany, but throughout the European Union and beyond. His diverse work on alternatives includes conducting research, managing multilaboratory projects, and serving as an advisor to the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods and other organizations."

Chrysler Town & Country/Dodge Caravan Door & Window Problems
kiwitex71 Posts: 1I seem to have a similar problem w/ my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. Several times for no apparent reason my key remote will not lock/unlock my doors? If I keep tapping the lock button, the lights flash and horn beeps letting me know they are locked, so I know the remote is working. I tried to find the fuse in the fuse box - but it isn't listed on the cover!!! So I find that if I pull ALL the fuses and reseat them - the locks work! Can someone tell me what fuse is for the locks? I think memartinez needs to go and get a refund.
ezjim Posts: 9My locks quit working again the day after I posted the dealer fixed it using computer.. I too had the airbag sensors replaced the day before this occured. Trying to get cancer surgery and worried about my door locks was bad. LOL I hope someone figurse it out real fast. Goos luck all.
2005tandc Posts: 1Interesting ... I just had the same problem ... inside electric switches and remote on the key didn't work ... lights would blink, locks wouldn't work ... dealer "diagnosed and reprogrammed the body control module" ...$54.40 Also had them do the airbag sensor replacement recall work at the same time, so that wasn't the cause of the lock failure ...
keith1517 Posts: 2Hello, I have an'01 Grand Caravan I have a couple of questions about. First, when we lower the driver's side window, we have to wait several minutes to raise it. The used car dealer I bought it from three years ago replaced the switch when this was happening before. Does that sound like a reasonable solution. Second, the van has 109000 miles on it. The trans fluid has been neglected and needs replacing, but I'm not sure when it was done last. Like an idiot I listened to the tech at a major used car chain where I bought it. He told me it was maintenance free. Manuals all say otherwise. To the best of my knowledge, this is the fluid that was replaced at 35000 miles. Should I drop the pan and change the fluid and filter, or leave it alone. No leaks, shifts normally. Also, did Chrysler ever fix their transmission issues. I don't see too many posts about vans of my vintage, but lots on the mid to late 90's vans. Thanks for your help.
KEith -
misterunit Posts: 3Solution: On my 2005 GC SXT, reseating the one fuse labeled IOD fixed the issue. This fuse was located at the front right as you stand in front of the vehicle, yellow 20A. Yes, I did just have my airbag recall done last weekend as well, and just noticed this issue yesterday. Good luck!

buzsolo Posts: 2..we have the same 2005 Town & Country Touring Van with ~ 67,000 miles. About 2 weeks ago I came to this site for advice on this exact same problem. Our door locks stopped working. The lights would flash but that was it. It does appear that everyone is having pretty much the same issue (ie: dealer needs to reset the computer, update software, etc..). I've also seen where this is costing people ~$100. Well.... for some reason, this morning when we were out shopping with our two kids (and the lock issue was really bugging us)... I thought - "why don't I just try to disconnect & reconnect the battery and perhaps this will reset the computer". THIS WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! Hopefully this will save many of you some money!!!! Funny thing - the only other thing I know how to repair on a car is replacing the air filter. I'm not a mechanic at all and this worked. Good Luck!
wcs6 Posts: 2This is helpful. I hope everybody gets a chance to read this thread before they go pay a dealer $$$ for the computer hook up. I am going to print this off and take it to my dealer and see if I can get my money back for the computer reset fee. Good luck to everyone else. Chrysler definately has a problem that they are not paying attention to.
buzsolo Posts: 2....yeah. Trust me. The way I figured out that this was an easy fix was through these posts and through my conversations with the dealer. The dealer wanted a $96 "investigation" fee to look into the problem - and then - if it was needed, repair the problem then this amount would be applied towards the repair costs. Well.... Once I saw that most people were paying about $100 (and one recently paid ~ $46) I thought to myself that it must be a pretty simple 5 minute issue to deal with. Any repair charge less than the dealer fee tells me that the "shop" was glad to have you in that day. Some people are also "pulling out and replacing - or blowing off - the fuse" - Well in my opinion and from what it sounds like... this simply resets the whole same d*mn thing. Either way appears to work just fine.............Now..... let's don't begin to talk about the brakes...... Otherwise ... a great van. Buz Solo .....one more item - Last week in researching this, I did call me dealer and asked if I could request a computer refresh and not be charged the "investiation fee". They did tell me they could do this but the work would not be guaranteed. yeah....my van is ok now.... no thanks.
masterpaul1 Posts: 421We have an 01 DGC EX we bought used from a Chrysler dealer back in Sep. 2003 w/37K. We had window problems right after purchase with both front windows not going up or down when using the switch. Come to find out, we needed a window motor and regulator for each window. (Was covered under warranty.) As for your trans. fluid. I'm not sure witch would be best for you. A trans. flush, draining all 14 qts. of trans. fluid out and replacing it with fresh new fluid. A trans. filter change, drain only 2 qts. out of the trans. and replacing the filter and 2 qts. drained. I would only go to a daimlerchrysler dealer to have the trans. serviced, since they are the only ones that sale the fluid for your trans. Put the wrong trans. fluid in and your trans. will die over time. :shades:

rbrunt Posts: 2I've pulled this fuse out a couple times as well and after a short time, my locks stop working. My lock button on remote and drivers side door do not allow to lock / unlock the doors. It's pretty annoying. I haven't found a labeled fuse that deals with door locks which would be too helpful. I will try replacing the fuse altogether but the fuse doesn't look bad. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks. 2005 Dodge Grand Carivan SXT. I'm starting to think this should be another recall item?
rbrunt Posts: 2I was hoping someone had the answer to this as I've pulled and replaced my fuse 4 times so far which does fix the locks until I get in and drive somewhere and then they quit working again. This is getting ridiculous. I'm very disappointed in the quality of these Dodge Caravans. We've also had problems with the automatic doors. argh..
I don't think you should see these problems in a 2 year old van. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -
hkannal Posts: 8I got online tonight searching for help as I have had my 2005 Town and Country Touring in for this lock matter 6 times!@!! We would take out the fuse and clean it off and put it back in and it would work for a couple of days, then it got to where that didn't work. We then replaced the fuse. This worked for about 1-2 weeks. Then, taking the fuse out would not work at all. So, we finally took it to the dealership. They said it was the BCM, but this was very unusual. So, they replaced it. It worked for about a day. They wanted to see it again (trip #3 as the BCM part always has to be ordered). We switch all 3 carseats over to my husband's car (VERY tight fit!!) and take it back in. They said it was the BCM again. We said they need to find what is causing the BCM to blow and fix it. They need to order it again! Another week goes by (it has now been a few months) and the part is in, so we switch car seats yet another time and take the van in. They replace it and it fails them as soon as they test it. They said they talked with Engineering and THEY said a new BCM is needed (not a rebuilt-we were never told we were getting rebuilts!!). AGAIN we said they need to find the cause for the BCM's to be blowing. Engineering was supposedly overnighting the new part. 8 days later I called them and they found the part there (magically!). So, we brought it in for the 6th time! This time the service manager and my husband were brought back to test it before we left with the van. It worked. My husband drove it from the dealership about 15 minutes and parked it. I went over to it about 2 hours later and the doors were not locked, so I tried to lock them and they don't work!!!!!! I called the dealership immediately and they said they really don't know what to do. They need to see it again and talk with Engineering. I left a message for the service manager today that I would be willing to bring it in to them one more time and leave with a loner so they will keep it until it is fixed. This was early this afternoon and he did not call me back. I am at a complete loss. The next nearest dealership is almost an hour away. OH did I mention that I purchased the extended warranty and paid the $50 deductable the first time, but have never been offered a loaner vehicle as they have never kept it overnight. On the one hand I am glad to see I am not the only one with this problem, but unfortunately, no one seems to have an answer! Thanks for letting me rant!
belldocherty Posts: 1Add me to your list. My 2005 T&C locks stopped working yesterday. They don't work after while driving in excess of 15 mph like they should, nor do they work from the remote or the door controls. I have 53,000 on my van & bought it brand new. Of course, I was told "not under warranty". In addition to this, I've already had to replace the power steering resorvoir (sp), front brakes & rotors at 40,000, new tires this summer, new rear brakes this summer AND a new EGR valve replacement. NOW THIS!

Storing Your Vinyl and Displaying Records
April 20, 2013 | DIY Home Improvement, Handy How-Tos
It's April 20th, and for music fanatics and audiophiles, that means one thing: It's Record Store Day! It's the one day of the year that you don't have to feel guilty about adding 20-plus records to your collection–but storing and displaying records can pose a problem. Unlike CDs or tapes, precious and delicate vinyl can easily bend and warp, and corners can fringe.
My boyfriend and I have a hundreds of records, so finding an ideal storage unit to accommodate everything without taking up too much space in our small apartment was important. Plus, who doesn't love an iconic album cover? It's no coincidence that some of the rarest (and most expensive) jewels have unique album art. Here are some of the best solutions I found while on my hunt for the perfect album storage unit:
Cubicle Shelves
Shelving units, like the EXPEDIT cubicle shelves from IKEA are so perfect for vinyl–they must have been made for this exact purpose! Figuring out how to display vinyl so it doesn't get damaged can be tough, but this type of shelf is perfect and it stores a ton of records. The separate cubes ensure that they aren't leaning against one another, which could cause bending over time, and it makes it super easy to keep everything organized.
Don't have enough records to fill the shelf? No worries, the cubicle units make it easy to store books, display photos or add bins in the empty spaces. Another great thing about these units: You can add another shelf when it's all filled up. It can be displayed horizontally or vertically and there are several sizes to choose from.
Hack It
So you've found the perfect shelf to store your records, but you'd like to also be displaying records? You can purchase a few album frames, which you can buy online or in stores like Target or Urban Outfitters, and use these to add doors to your shelf. You'll also need small door hinges that you can buy at any hardware store. Line up the frame with the side of the shelf so it will close properly, pick the perfect album to display and you've got yourself a concealed record storage unit with only your faves front and center!

When Oscar the cat curls up on someone's bed, its time to call their loved ones and light up the Vacancy sign. The nursing home staff adopted the cat as a kitten and she made the rounds with them. After six months they noticed that whenever she sat near someone they died within a few hours. Dogs and cats are known to be able to smell deceases in humans.

Salmon are amazing animals. Born in rivers, they migrate to the oceans, where there live and grow for a handful of years before navigating and fighting their way back up stream to the waters of their birth to spawn and die. For me just staying still in the surging torrent of the Adams River was challenge enough. It gave me a real respect for the monumental effort of these fish who were already a 1000km upstream from the ocean. Spawning time for these sockeye salmon is October, as you can probably tell from the autumnal colours in the trees. Within a few weeks, these fish will have fought for territories, spawned and died. Their rotting bodies don't make for the most pleasant odour, but they are important for kick starting a whole food chain of micro-organisms and small invertebrates, that in turn provide food for the salmon's babies, when their eggs hatch.

Saab European Delivery
jeff66 Posts: 1What financing options are available to European Delivery?
Does the Saab customer loyalty incentive apply?
When will the pricing be available for the 08s, now that Euro Delivery is no longer avail for 07s?
Is there a way to do Euro Delivery and lease?

athehun Posts: 1Jeff,
We just purchased a Saab through IDS and financed it with a conventional car loan from our Credit Union. We had to wait for Saab to provide us the VIN number to finalize the loan. Three days after paying for the car, we received the $2000.00 check from Saab in the mail. Scheduled to pick up the car in Germany, second week of June. -
wheussner Posts: 3Jeff,
I spoke with the SAAB European Delivery Department today and found out the pricing for European delivery of the 2008 models will be available around October 1st.
Also, Financing options are available once the vehicle has been built and the dealership has the Certificate of Origin. This usually occurs at least two weeks prior to your scheduled European delivery date.
In regard to the SAAB loyalty incentive, due to the low fixed price of the vehicle and the $2,000 spending cash no other incentives apply including the loyalty offer.
I was also informed that leasing is not possible on European delivery vehicles.
I hope this helps and would be glad to be of further assistance!
Bill Heussner -
smu1976 Posts: 110After calling Saab, emails, then finally Detroit (who returned with my answer promptly), I have learned that there is no Saab European delivery for 2008. None, nada, zero! Just when Money Magazine, or Smart Money runs a big article on the best of MB, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Saab claiming Saab has the best program, cancelled for 2008.

9ºB nº18
Transgenic food, also called Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) is crops,plants, vegetables, animals or other organisms that have been genetically changed. These have been changed to make the qualities of an organism higher or add some extra qualities to them, for example:bigger fruits, more resistance to toxics or droughts, etc. This process is sometimes called Genetic Engineering. Development Transgenic food, as said in the introduction, is the change of the genes of anorganism in a laboratory. This process is called genetic engineering and it is done to make some of the organism's qualities higher or give it some other qualities from other organisms. Geneticengineering is sometimes confused with Selective Breeding, but they're very different: genetic engineering is used to add qualities to an organism s that weren't found in that organism naturally. SelectiveBreeding is the process by which you can choose the organism with the best genes to be born. Genetically modified organisms are made with genetic engineering. The biggest problem of the world rightnow, a part from the economic crisis (which is one of the causes) is the deaths of thousands of people on the east of Africa (Somalia, Kenya, etc). These deaths were caused by a huge drought thatdestroyed all the crops and the resources of food and water of the people that live in that area, who are mainly farmers, so, all their food supplies were destroyed with the drought, so, most of them movedto the cities, where the fruit and vegetable supplies are delivered to, but thousands of them died on the way to the cities. Some scientists think that genetically modified organisms (GMO) would be thesolution in these cases of extreme climates (too much or too little water, the need to use herbicides, etc) but others aren't so sure.

The business models associated with open source software -- code that is open to developers and freely distributed -- are rapidly evolving, but still nascent. Recent events show one thing clearly: there is money to be made in open source. Not content to rest on their laurels while smaller open source players garner market share and revenue, both Oracle (ORCL) and Red Hat (RHAT) recently struck deals that have thus far proven to be wise.
We will no doubt see more open source acquisitions. These acquisitions are more likely to benefit than harm the open source movement and will further disrupt legacy software vendors.
In February, Oracle acquired open source embedded-database company Sleepycat for an undisclosed amount, and in April, Red Hat acquired Java application-server developer JBoss for more than $350 million. While these acquisitions may represent simple examples of consolidation in the software market, they also reflect much deeper strategies -- ones designed to heighten adoption of open source software on a much grander scale, and to take market share away from Microsoft (MSFT).
SUBSCRIPTION BASED. Oracle has been very successful in its long-time goal to own the entire database market, and Sleepycat's embedded database fills a profitable niche that Oracle didn't serve. Oracle now gets to dip its toes in the open source waters with a company that has over 200 million downloads of its core product, a thriving community of developers, and a management team experienced in nurturing an open source ecosystem.
The deal also speaks to Oracle's recognition that revenue can be generated with a subscription support model, common to open source businesses, rather than through upfront license fees.
Red Hat aspires to upend Microsoft's dominance in enterprise computing and therefore needs to offer an equivalent combination of operating system, application server, and database -- commonly referred to as the "software stack." With the JBoss acquisition, Red Hat offers a robust Linux operating system and a Java application server in addition to open source standards, such as the PHP programming language and Apache Web server. Add a database to the mix (or just use the readily available MySQL) and Red Hat holds the same cards as Microsoft.
FRIEND OR FOE?. Interestingly, the open source community was largely in favor of the Red Hat-JBoss combination, citing the advantages of having one vendor of both Linux and the leading Java application server. But Red Hat's acquisition didn't sit entirely well with Oracle, which according to published reports, including one by BusinessWeek Online, had been in talks to buy JBoss previously.
In fact, just a few weeks after the Red Hat deal was announced, Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison said he wanted Oracle to control a "full stack," including the Linux operating system, portraying Red Hat as more of a threat than a partner. This is a company that had already embraced Linux and open source; so when Ellison starts talking about open source companies in terms that suggest a threat, it's time for the rest of the market to pay attention.
To the extent that consolidation can continue, it probably will. Right now there are a few successful open source companies such as SugarCRM, MySQL, and JasperSoft that matter to big software vendors, primarily those companies that contribute to the larger enterprise ecosystem. Consolidation will be driven by big vendors that have only certain pieces of the software stack.
COMMUNITY TRUST. But this consolidation is not necessarily bad. It will increase open source adoption as entrenched vendors like Novell (NOVL) and Sun Microsystems (SUNW) figure out better ways to monetize their Suse Linux and OpenSolaris operating systems, respectively, and Oracle and IBM (IBM) offer products on top of Linux and open source applications. Acquisitions from vendors of this caliber also reflect the impact of open source on proprietary competitors, in terms of both revenue and market share.
Open source projects rely on a community of developers and end users for success. The community provides everything from product roadmap input to code donations to testing. It also helps form the basis of sustainability for projects and ultimately the associated business model. Companies which have a two-way dialogue with the community reap rewards not achievable in a closed development model.
BEAUTY PART. So far, both Oracle and Red Hat have done well managing their own communities. These acquisitions are merely extensions of what they are already doing. Some fear that commercial interests will sully the community or put projects at risk. These fears are largely unfounded. Open source development is driven primarily by two things: developers solving complex problems and the embrace of the open source philosophy.
In the end, the beauty of open source is the ability of developers to go online, download some code, and start creating their own application, operating system, or business model. Open source development models have been proven to drive innovation, lower costs, and disrupt markets. Vendors who discount open source as a cheap copycat of proprietary software are missing an enormous opportunity. Those who embrace it are poised for further growth and success.
Dave Rosenberg is principal analyst at Open Source Development Labs, where he analyzes market trends in the Linux and open source software industry. Rosenberg also works as a journalist and is CIO of investment research and shareholder advisory firm Glass Lewis.

Professional Skin Care Market Bounces Back
Posted: April 8, 2011
page 2 of 3
Professional skin care outlets are also increasingly expanding their portfolios to gain a competitive advantage. For example, beauty institutes are broadening their offerings by adding services typically offered by other channels, including body treatments, massages and minimally invasive esthetic procedures, that are performed by medical professionals affiliated with the institute.
Less invasive
In the medical care providers channel, the focus is shifting towards less invasive procedures. For example, the demand for injectibles such as Botox, Dysport and Restylane has experienced very strong growth. As a result, doctors are adding more less invasive procedures to their offerings and supporting them with strong promotional activity. As more customers trade down and replace surgical cosmetic procedures with nonsurgical ones, many are opting for professional skin care products to avoid going under the knife.
In some regions, regulations limit the dispensing of professional skin care products by medical professionals. For example, in most European markets, dispensing skin care products to patients is complicated or entirely prohibited. Conversely, in the United States, where distribution is unencumbered, various types of physicians including gynecologists and dentists turn to professional skin care to increase their revenue. As a result, the channel is expected to experience the highest five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the region of 9.6% through 2015.
A targeted treatment
Today's professional skin care market is all about providing products that are well-suited to meet the needs of specific skin care concerns. In order to respond to a wide variety of conditions and changing demands, manufacturers are expanding the scope of their assortments to provide more targeted products. In the anti-ageing category, for example, this has meant an increased segmentation, with more products specialized for different age groups, skin types and color, skin problems, gender, and lifestyle. For example, new products targeting young consumers have been introduced, as awareness of the benefits of using preventative facial care products is growing.
The motivation behind expanding the anti-aging category is logical, as anti-aging is the number one concern across the professional skin care markets of Europe, the United States, and Japan. Almost one-half of all sales in these markets are for anti-aging products; a trend that is likely to prevail, as customers feel the need to look young navigating through the post-recession job market.

JJC Family Services has a long history of involvement in child protective services and with families at risk of such involvement, through multiple quality programs. In 1976, this agency was established to provide residential care for youth in the juvenile justice system, providing also social services to the families of the residents. Foster care for dependent children, and their families, started in 1988.
In 1991, JJC expanded into in-home, family-based work, setting up a program called "SCOH", which was an acronym for Services to Children in their Own Homes, and the Home Based Delinquent Services. Three years later, JJC began providing adoption services and in 1996 the agency established its own mental health clinic, providing psychiatric and psychological services and therapy for our children and for families in the community.
Parenting education, in a program called "Parents in Training" (PIT), was started in 1997, and was reshaped in 2010 to become PEP or "Parents Empowering Program". PEP provides evening classes via four-month courses for a large number of parents, referred from within our agency, from the entire community, and from other agencies. This preventative aspect of JJC has become a vital part of agency functioning, as family support programs have gradually supplanted out-of-home care in emphasis and "days of service".
In late 1998, we increased the number of our group homes to five, encompassing both delinquent and dependent homes, located in various city locations.
From 2002 to 2013, JJC sponsored HOPE Charter school, a high school for "at risk" students, located in West Oak Lane. HOPE Charter School graduated many young people, including many DHS-involved youth, that would have left school without a diploma and probably without employment. This educational program had the added advantage of having on-site social services and behavioral health programs, a summer program for the whole community, an after school credit recovery / interest enhancement classes, such as art, drama and gymnastics and a work ready program.
In 2004, we set up the Department of Permanency Planning (DOPP), to provide permanency for children, through "return home" support services, adoption and permanent legal custody. This department has its own team, composed of our more experienced staff, to work with families to ensure permanency.
In 2009, DHS awarded us contracts to provide In Home Protective Services (IHPS) and Family Stabilization Services (FSS). These programs represent in-home strengths-based family-focused programs, thereby adding greatly to JJC's experience at working with families who are dealing with challenges and need core services such as parental guidance, and linkages to community resources.
2011 saw the commencement of a new program, focusing on young people who have been truant from school, may have had an arrest, and are in need of guidance, support and counseling to help them to stay out of trouble and graduate high school. Youth attend our program on three evenings a week, and the program provides family-counseling in the family home. In July 2012, the agency expanded its truancy program to include serving children and youth who were identified by the school district and DHS as being truant. The Truancy Prevention and Intervention Initiative (TPII) is a joint initiative between JJC Family Services, School District of Philadelphia, Family Court and DHS, designed to target truancy with early assessment and intervention. The primary objective is to help each student become successful members of his or her family, school and community through regular school attendance, case management, court interventions, placement prevention, and referrals to other services when necessary.
In summary, JJC, has been in operation since 1976, offering a comprehensive range of family services to the Philadelphia community. JJC's core values believes that through supportive, collaborative, and community based programming, children and families can be strengthened.

Europe Wonders 'Could It Happen Here?'
Could it happen here?
That's the question London's Daily Telegraph is asking its readers about the riots in France. It's the questions people all over Europe are asking themselves.
The answer varies by country, but it almost always revolves around the word "integration."
Radio Netherlands notes the difference between France and the Netherlands:
"French integration policy is aimed at 'cultural assimilation'. Everyone is supposed to feel French, and people are given little room in the public arena to express their religious or cultural identity. For example, public officials are now banned by law from wearing headscarves. The Netherlands, on the other hand, has a long tradition of offering more room for others to express their identity, although this tradition has been coming under pressure over the past decade."
One local analyst said poor neighborhoods in the Netherlands are relatively better off than their French counterparts:"The standard of accommodation and services is not as bad. It isn't the case, as it is in France, that these districts are less well served by public transport. At the same time, the economic situation is very difficult right now for Moroccan youths looking for work. They, too, do feel excluded."
In Germany, Spiegel Online's press survey found commentators across the political spectrum saying that Germans face comparable alienation in immigrant communities.
"We have to do everything possible for integration," says the left-wing Berliner Zeitung. "That means that we have to change. A Europe that reduces entire economic areas to begging, because it spends hundreds of millions supporting its own agriculture, has no more money left to integrate those poor farmers who have been displaced from their homelands."
"The conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung points out that while it is right to differentiate between the no-go areas of the French ghettos and areas of social marginalization in Germany, there is a similar ignorance on the part of the politicians and society about the growing social powder keg at their doorstep. In France official policy aimed at increasing educational and employment opportunities has just been 'a tranquilizer that has had no effect.' It warns German politicians not to be too sure that the French problems are not coming their way."
In Denmark, a right-wing opposition party is calling for using anti-terrorism funding to crack down on rioters. Shortly before the French riots, immigrant youth in a Danish town rampaged through a shopping district, according to the Copenhagen Post.
"The events had local politicians clamouring for tougher measures and a zero-tolerance approach towards the rioters. The local police, however, said it had no plans to tackle the disturbances by other means than dialogue and peaceful negotiations with the teenagers."
The Danish prime minister said the equation of rioters to terrorists was mistaken.
In Britain, The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland says France is clinging to an ideal "pickled in dogma." It's worth quoting Freedland at length: "The US has a model of integration which is the reverse of France's: it positively encourages new migrants to hold on to their first culture, happy to let them hyphenate as Italian-Americans or Irish-Americans.
"But that model is not perfect either. As we saw after Katrina, there are still plenty of Americans who feel excluded by their race. That's partly because the US model applies to immigrants, those who chose to make their life anew in America. It does not apply either to those who were already there or those who were dragged to the country in chains, in the holds of cargo ships. Which is why Native Americans and African-Americans both argue, with justification, that they are shut out of the American dream.
"Britain has an emerging model too, one we call multiculturalism. It did not arrive from nowhere, but partly came out of our own experience of race riots in the 1980s. Unlike France's, it recognises difference and has passed legislation to protect it. But it also yearns for some affirmation of common identity. It knows there are differences between us - but it wants there to be ties that bind. What those ties should be, what notion of Britishness might hold us all together, nobody seems quite sure.
"Indeed, the problem of racial cohesion in Britain is far from solved .... But multiculturalism is still the best model we have. And, after the last 10 days, it may be the only one left."

"It does not apply either to those who were already there or those who were dragged to the country in chains, in the holds of cargo ships." Huh? There is NO ONE living in this country who where "dragged to the country(USA) in chains, in the holds of cargo ships." That was over 150 years ago! Enough of that. Most Blacks living in the USA have moved on and a large percentage of them are doing very well here in the USA. Thank you very much and the American Dream is still alive and well. The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland is totally off base and he needs to brush up on his American history.

What they need to do is kick all these muslim immigrants out of Europe. Europeans need to also have more children so that they actually can have a future as well.

Nah, I think his comments apply. The communities of the people who were taken to the Americas in force are still there and feel largely disenfranchised.
Britain I think went through what France is facing now back in the 80s which were some bad times for us. It's far from paradise here, though there does seem to be far better representation of the minorities in positions of authority. And the far Right has less support, thank God. As to what constitutes Britishness? No one knows. It's not something that can be pinned down. It probably isn't just one single thing anyway. Britain has been a mix of different cultures ever since before most of it was conquered by the Romans.

Why is it that none of these journalist are considering economics as a factor in this issue? Immigrants enter foriegn countries seeking opportunities, not patronizing laws that "protect their cultural diversity." This problem is 100% economic. Give those people the chance to open their own businesses and find employment and such riots as those in france will be a thing of the past.

I'm finding the two initial remarks very racist and am appalled that such attitudes still exist in the U.S. The socio-economic status of Native Americans and African-americans in this country is a direct effect of the displacement of Native Americans onto reservations and slavery. While progress has been made, the bigotry and racism that was used to justify such inhuman treatment of people is still an undercurrent in this society.
If a country allows immigration, why shouldn't they also allow they to have an equal opportunity? Besides, many of the youths demonstrating were born in France. They probably grew up with expectations of a better life, only to find enormous barriers unique to THEM within French society because of their economic and cultural heritage.

This is nothing new, although the violence is disturbing. When I lived in Germany during the mid-90s, there were anti-foreigner (mostly aimed at Turkish work-immigrants) rallies in the center of Stuttgart.
People forget that after WWII, there was a severe lack of skilled laborers in Germany, so over the subsequent decades they welcomed Turkish immigrants to the country on work visas. Similarly, Indian computer scientists and doctors are now being sought on work visas and long contracts to supplement the lack of "native" skilled workers throughout Europe.
Germany can't bring cheap labor into its borders then somehow expect these people to work there for years solving Germany's employment problems without settling down and raising and educating their children. Rather than relegating them to a life of janitorial positions and eventual graduation to "doner-kebab" shop management, Europe needs to reconcile with those second- and third-generation migrant workers now and embrace them as equal members of the society, then inact appropriate guidelines for stringently monitoring new work visas and contracts, while providing equal opportunities and investment in the education of all its permanent residents.

Of course the English model is going to be better received by most Europeans. We're just stupid Americans, can't do anything except fight and bully people, right? That's the attitude - nothing the US does is worth anything, even when they benefit from it.
However, having said that, the US is huge in terms of size and people and we do not have the same history of colonization that both the UK and France share.
One might even say that these countries have an OBLIGATION to the descendants of the people whose countries were invaded and pillaged (much like we in the US have an obligation to our native people that we screwed over).
The last time I was in London (the late 90's) racism was still prevelent. They're not as "multicultural" as they think they are, but at least the government is trying - unlike France.

strife: n.
1)Heated, often violent dissension; bitter conflict. See Synonyms at discord.
2)A struggle, fight, or quarrel.
3)Contention or competition between rivals.
I've been reading about 'The Clash of Civilizations' by Samuel P. Huntington and have found it very interesting. Regarding the comments above, whether they are thought to be considered racial or not, I would like to see more supporting evidence in either justifying or negating such comments. I think it is important for people to comment. However, wouldn't it be great if we could back up our 'beliefs' with something more tangible.
Personally I would like to see Europeans and white Americans move into Latin America and ask for minority rights. If you can't laugh at that then you are taking yourself waaaaay to seriously. If you can't take a jab at that without at the very least having a dry cynical sense of humor than I suggest you join the peace corp and do something instead of saying something.

I basically go along with Freedland, but he doesn't understand that American culture reflects those aspects of immigrant culture that the general population found attractive and intergrated them into the general American culture. Our popular music has a strong African and Latin American influence plus folk music from the British Isles, Germany, and so on. Looking at the stage and Hollywood, the "American" art, and you find stars and directors from all over the world. One could give an endless number of examples, there are a few of them.
The problem Europe has is their fixed cultures, which does not easily deal with change. In America, we have the separation of Church and state, and Freedom of Religion is an individual right which government is not suppose to touch. While religious tolerance exists in Europe, religion tends to be highly regulated.
The French, in particular, are justly proud of their culture, and I think it is very difficult for them to bring "outside" cultures into their own culture.
But, there is an economic aspect to the problem. Free Trade has cost Europeans jobs as it has in America. They have lost social services and benefits on the altar of this universal economic theory. Any group on the low end of the economic scale will be the first to feel the pinch. I think "affirmative action" might help.
Most of the comments in this column have some merit.

Hi, I'm a mexican american.
I don't understand why people refer to people who are born in France as immigrants. They are French-Moroccans or Moroccan-French. Whatever sounds good.
My parents came to America, met in LA and decided to stay. Immigration was a lot easier back in the 60's. So I was born in LA. So I have grown up speaking Spanish and English, but since my entire education was in english, I speak and write english many many times better than spanish. Plus, I grew up in East LA.
Thanks to affirmative action, many in my situation got to go to some excellent colleges which our parents could never afford to send us to. In our culture, we don't like to ask our parents for money after we turn approximately 17. Don't ask me why, that's just the way it is.
I've lived in France for almost 2 years, I've lived in Germany for 6 months and I lived in Finland for 3 years. (By the way, I graduated as an engineer.)
The relationships between europeans and Muslims and Gypsys make the relationships between Americans/Muslims/Latinos/Chinese and all the above look like lovers walking in a park. That's why I am back in the states and loving it.
America isn't perfect, but mosto f us certainly get along very well. Most of my professors were children of immigrants or immigrants themselves. The same can be said about my bosses and city officials who sign my plans at work.
I grew up singing Dreidel dreidel, Frere Jaques, enjoying cultural weeks where students from different cultures would share their culture with everyone(vietnamese week was always the best), and we even celebrated holidays from other countries. But I would say that we all grew up feeling that we were American Nationals but our culture was something different. Our culture was a mix and american and of our parents.
America seems to be a game of tag, someone is always it. Unfortunately, there are still many white people either don't like colored people or feel they have enough color at their workplace, university or neighborhood. People afraid of change. And so Affirmative action of positive discrimination are required to protect us from these people because these people are usually in the position to decide who to hire, who to give the scholarship to, who to fail, or who to arrest and send to jail. We do not live in a perfect world.
In a perfect world, everyone would have a job. Low wage jobs for students,higher for university students and then well enough paid for a mother or father to stay home with the children after they have begun a career like engineering, lawyer, doctor, secretary, janitor or factory labor.
Help the whole world accomplish this and then we won't have runaway immigration & crime.
Much of Europe has stuck its head in the sand refusing to recognize the problems that they have. They hate each other over there. No unity as in the US. They will eventually have a continent wide war again.
And per Hurricane Katrina, most of New Orleans is(was) populated by black people. Why is anyone surprised to see that most of the refugees were black??? Many black people DROVE or FLEW away too.
Its not as if 15,000 died in the storm, the way 15,000 people in France died from a Heat wave. Temperatures which are "NORMAL" in much of the area between the two tropics.

Whatever the other merits of this article are, I hope you realize that Denmark and the Netherlands are not the same country.
The Netherlands is where the Dutch live and Denmark is where the Danish live. I really have no idea otherwise how to interpret a Radio Netherlands report in Denmark on the differences between France and the Dutch people.
As a Danish American, the son of a Dane and an American, I have to say that I am reminded always when I am in Europe that I am only 1/2 Danish. This in spite of the fact that I am a fluent Danish speaker, blond and well over 6-feet tall.
The Danish minority that lives across the German border still retain their language and culture and see a clear distinction between themselves and their ethnic German neighbors. This phenomenon is repeated throughout Europe.
I cannot make an excuse for it. As an American I do not like it. But these distinctions, readily made between peoples an American would be hard pressed to differentiate, are apparent and meaningful to the many Europeans I have met over my life. Becasue of this, I am hard pressed to believe that there ever will be a sucessful integration of the immigrant Middle Eastern and African populations which have such a large cultural and social gap to cross.
Posted by: erik | November 9, 2005 07:32 PM
It's worth quoting Freedland at length: "The US has a model of integration which is the reverse of France's: it positively encourages new migrants to hold on to their first culture, happy to let them hyphenate as Italian-Americans or Irish-Americans.
Freedland obviously chugs the Kool-Aid without any regard to its source and side-effects.
He should try asking the immigrants living in Texas, (i.e. the place where people think Jesus spoke English) if they are encouraged to hold on to their first culture.
Posted by: | November 9, 2005 08:28 PM
I've always thought it odd that America has this official seperation of Church and State (which is a great idea) and yet religion plays such a strong role in politics and making laws. In Britain the head of the state religion is also the head of state (though she has no real power). Religion has less effect though because it isn't so important to such a percentage of the population.
On racial integration no country has got it totally 'right'. I think both Britain and America are ahead of the game compared to France, though a lot of work remains in both countries. Racism exists in all countries, and not always involving white people. A recent riot in Britain happened between the black and asian communities. Where France has gone wrong is it does not have the level of representation of minorities and it has allowed these huge sinkholes to develop. These people are French, most of the rioters were probably born in France. Now they need to be convinced to feel french. They need the hope that they can escape those estates and have a future.

Peter -- your agenda sounds just like Hilter's. Now, should only the blonde and blue eyed European, the Aryan race, be allowed to reproduce?
Gary -- Please watch TNT's "Into the West" and read Howard Zinn's "The People's History of the US". The centuries of terrorism against the Indigenous Native and African Americans have taken a toll, and will require them a long time to fully recover.
No one should bear the sins of another (in this case, the colonial master) but we should be patriotic to the truth and to the human race.

Dan Savage is a gay bully and hypocrite who is against the bullying of gays but espouses Biphobia (which is discrimination against bisexual people which is exhibited in many gay people). He sucks a load of cock, suffers from many STD's and has a prolapsed rectum because he is a twink who takes it hard up the ass like a dog. Incidentally when you fuck an anus (whether it be of a guy or girl) and cum into it and make it gape simultaneously, it's called Savage'd.
Jimmy the bisexual bastard: "I totally Savage'd Dan's anus the other night. He won't be walking for weeks!"
Tom the queer: "You fucked Dan Savage? I heard he has a prolapsed rectum and suffers from anal cancer as well as numerous STD's."
Jimmy the bisexual bastard: "Fuck, I best get a check up!"

The Mini Sample: Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in 340 Go Go Green (Mini Review & Photos)
27 Sep
Since I had so many of you mention the green polish I was wearing in the pics from my Pure+Simple Lactic Acid Original 5% review, I figured I'd dedicate a little post to it–a "Mini Sample", if you will. I don't really have time to do my usual long, drawn-out review for this particular product (was that a sigh of relief I just heard?! :P), but that doesn't mean I'm loving it any less! I actually grabbed a few of these Maybelline Color Show polishes several weeks ago and they're really good guys. I was a bit unsure because my general experience with drugstore makeup brands releasing nail polishes has been pretty disappointing (I loathe those Revlon polishes–they're absolutely god-awful, if you ask me). Nail polishes from drugstore nail polish brands are a different story…anyhoo, I've been really, really happy with these so far–I think they're really great. They go on smoothly and without fuss, are super easy to apply, and dry fairly quickly.
The colors are what really get me though! I saw Go Go Green and I knew I had to have it–it's just so bright and fun and cheerful! It helps me forget that Fall is almost upon us…:( where oh where did Summer go?? Go Go Green looks like an almost avocado-y/lime green shade indoors, but in the sun it turns the vibrant, cheery yellow-green that you see above.
I also picked up 190 Coral Crush as well as two polishes from the Denims collection: 10 Denim Dash and 20 Styled Out. Oh my gosh you guys, Styled Out is just insanely pretty. I'd seen reviews and swatches of it online, but in person, it's just beyond gorgeous. It's what I wore on my toes for my sister's wedding–and the week before that, I had it on my hands If you guys haven't tried these already, you need to do so immediately!
You can find them at various drugstores (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aide, Target, etc.) and online (would you believe ALL the shades are out of stock on Maybelline's site??). MSRP $3.99 (prices will vary from store to store. Walmart.com has them for $2.79 at the moment)
*side note: please forgive those dinks in my nails–I'm so bad at doing my nails!

Here is one that didn't work.I put the red plastic sheet under the tomato plants, it was supposed to ripen tomatoes earlier (so the catalog said). The tomatoes that were grown in the red plastic were the last to ripen. Back to the drawing board.

Byron, It was the red plastic mulch I purchased from the Organic Gardner catalog, don't remember since I bought it last year and didnt use it until this year. Sorry. Stella |

Hi Stella: ya know, I'm not too impressed with my red plastic experiment this year, either. Unfortunately, it was a non-typical year for me in the garden, though, since we had quite a hard(and unexpected) frost here on July 1, and it nipped up my tomato plants pretty good. I guess I'll roll up my plastic and try it again next year, and hope for better results. I just bought my plastic from Burpee. |

I also tried the red plastic, (last year) With not much going for it, I tried the new mulch with the reflective side. Not much improvement there either Of course the latter was supposed to keep pests at bay and I never have much of a problem with tomatoes anyway. |
- Posted by Joe S 5/6(firstname.lastname@example.com) onFri, Oct 5, 01 at 11:34
I can't say that my red plastic was a failure when compared to black plastic mulch. The ground did appear to heat up a little quicker (could be due to the weather though). I plan to use again next year especially with Early Goliath tomato variety. Joe |
Good Morning! Good to hear someones tried the red plastic . We've debated it and after this years tomato harvest, I'm glad we didn't. I guess we'll stick with newspaper and pinestraw as mulch. (I know it looks better than red plastic, UGH!) LISA |
- Posted by Stella 7(email@example.com) onSat, Oct 6, 01 at 11:01
Jord, Know what you mean it looks terrible and most of my tomatoes are still green while last year with the newspaper mulch I had more tomatoes than I knew what to do with. This year the only big crop of tomatoes were cherry tomatoes that were grown in an area without the red plastic. Thanks to all for your comments. I guess you live and learn Stella/NY |
