(see "Overview of Special Services" later in this chapter); moreover, the WIC program is not funded at a level sufficient to provide the special nutrition services needed by some high-risk women.
Physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, and other primary care providers can and should integrate basic nutritional care into the care of all expectant and new mothers. Preconceptional care may be provided as part of a woman's routine health care, in family planning clinics, and during visits specifically to address planning for pregnancy. Excluding delivery, nearly all prenatal care is provided in physicians' or midwives' offices or in prenatal clinics. There is increasing interest, however, in the use of supplemental home visits for high-risk families.2–5 Most commonly, postpartum care is first provided in the hospital; subsequently, it may be provided in the physician's office or health center, and, in some cases, in the patient's home as well.
Chart 3-1 lists the nutritional care activities that need to be part of the routine care of all women—regardless of their level of nutritional risk, socioeconomic status, health status, or type of primary care provider. The publication Nutrition During Pregnancy and Lactation: An Implementation Guide6 contains suggestions for integrating these activities into routine care.
Special nutritional care activities for the relatively few women with complex health problems are discussed later in this chapter. If referral to a dietitian or other specialists, or both, is necessary, open lines of communication are essential between the primary care providers and the specialist so that all members of the health care team are in agreement about and reinforce the nutritional advice given to the pregnant woman. Documentation, an important form of communication, appears to need more attention: Peoples-Sheps and colleagues7 report that although 98% of a large sample of prenatal care records included flow charts for weight, only 38% of them included a separate item for nutritional assessment, 19% an item for nutrition education, and 51% an item for alcohol use.

I found these two guys on each of my succulents. Anyone have any ideas what it might be and if they're harmful to plants? They are small - less than 1 cm, black with what appear to be yellow stripes. They are definitely insects and not spiders. and: Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think they are ladybug larvae. If not, they are most likely beneficial anyway. There are probably aphids on your succulents. |

Un-Wrinkle Nightsounds like a science project in a jar! It contains several peptides and claims to firm skin, improve its tone, minimize pores, reduce wrinkles, repair damage, and prompt collagen production. All of a sudden the price seems not so bad, until you realize that there isn't any research proving that the multiple peptides in this moisturizer can reach any of the goals mentioned in the claims. Another disappointment is that the jar packaging won't keep the retinol and antioxidants stable during use. And the "mega dose" of glycolic acid amounts to a mere dusting, not to mention that this product's pH won't permit exfoliation. As a moisturizer, this is suitable for normal to dry skin and it doesn't contain fragrance. Otherwise, this is really pricey for what you get, and a letdown when you consider the jar packaging. By the way, the manner in which most of the peptides in this product are said to work is by interrupting the chemical pathways that occur beneath the skin and that allow us to make facial expressions—this isn't possible. However, assuming these "100% active" peptides could do that, the results would be potentially frightening (as in you wouldn't be able to smile, chew, or keep your eyes completely open).
Exclusive (patent pending) blend of eight powerful, 100% active ANTI-AGING PEPTIDES and NEUROPEPTIDES are combined with SYN-TACKS (new cutting-edge dual-peptide), a mega dose of retinol, glycolic acid, vitamins and skin moisturizers to create this cutting-edge nighttime wrinkle fighting moisturizer. Includes three neuropeptides, SYN-AKE at 4%, SNAP-8 at 10% and ARGIRELINE (hexapeptide) at 3% and five peptides, SYN-COLL at 3%, MATRIXYL 3000 (a dual peptide) at 3% and SYN-TACKS (a dual peptide) at 1% which helps boost collagen and increase skin firmness and tonicity. Designed to assist in cellular renewal, repair daily environmental damage, minimize pores, restore moisture and revitalize the skin while you sleep. Visibly reduces the appearance of deep wrinkles and fine lines from the first application while helping to relax and diminish the appearance of facial expressions that may lead to crows feet, brow furrow wrinkling, laugh lines, frown lines, and other skin creases. Leaves skin looking soft, smooth and years younger.

Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these products don't have fragrance, and they lack the long lists of ingredients that are often unnecessarily complicated. Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly. No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps—all of which reinforce the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise there are a few embarrassing missteps to avoid, such as products that contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause free-radical damage and hurt skin; irritating acne products that contain sulfur; unimpressive masks (odd for a spa-oriented line); and a bumper crop of products claiming to affect expression lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to cosmetic corrective procedures.
For more information about Peter Thomas Roth, call (800) PTR-SKIN or visit www.peterthomasroth.com.
After a month I saw a little improvement over all. The eye area treatment completely smoothed out the crows feet. I have deep frown burrows at the top of my nose. A slight improvement but not as much as expected. My smile lines have eased, but only if I don't miss a treatment. I added Oil of Play Regenerist and see so much more. Over all too expensive for the results. I am 49. Might work better for lighter lines and wrinkles on a younger girl.

I found the text on the card rather strange:
Instead of "sacrifice a unit to corrupt target unit" the card reads "when you sacrifice a unit, corrupt target unit."
Am I right to assume that the sacrifical is not meant to be a cost, but a requirement that has to be fulfilled to trigger Sacrifical Pyre? If that is the case, I would have to sacrifice a unit by other means (like using Slave Pen action "sacrifice a unit to put a resource token on this card") to use Pyre´s ability.
As I am not a native speaker I could be wrong about some semantic or grammatical nuance here, though… Sorry for the weird question. I just want to interprete the card´s effect the right way

Quitman, La — An elderly Quitman resident has died following a one-vehicle wreck on LA Highway 147 Tuesday evening.
At 6:30 p.m., dispatchers were alerted to a fatal wreck that had occurred on Highway 147, south of LA Highway 155 in Bienville Parish.
An investigation revealed Stanley Jones, III, 65, of Quitman, was driving his truck north on 147 when he swerved to the right, overcorrected and lost control of his pickup. After losing control, the vehicle left the roadway and collided with a tree.
Jones was not wearing his seatbelt during the crash and was killed fatal. He was pronounced dead at the scene by the Bienville Parish Coroner.
Toxicology samples were obtained and submitted for analysis. This crash remains under investigation.

Volume 1 Issue 4 ISSN: 2211-5501 eISSN: 2211-551X
This review presents the advantages of biogenic synthesis of metallic sulfide nanoparticles, compared to chemical synthesis processes. The impact of biogenically synthesized sulfide nanoparticles is discussed from ecological point of view. This review also discusses the morphological characteristics and mechanistic aspects of sulfide nanoparticles synthesized by the biogenic process. By revising recent publications, it is evident that it would be a great advantage to use a nonpathogenic biological system to produce sulfide nanoparticles for commercialization purposes. This new area of nanobiotechnological processes is more attractive compared to traditional physical and chemical methods of nanoparticles synthesis, since microbial biosynthesis of nanoparticles does not involve hazardous chemicals and it is considered to be a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach.

Trip Ideas
The marked canoe trail on Cedar Creek extends from Bannister's Bridge to the Congaree River. Vehicle access to Cedar Creek is provided at Bannister's Bridge and at Cedar Creek Landing, and the Congaree River is accessible outside the park at the bridge on Highway 601. Using these three access points, several different trips are possible:
Time required: variable For canoeists with only one vehicle, the best option is to put-in at Cedar Creek Landing and to explore the creek either upstream of downstream of the parking area. This portion of Cedar Creek is beautiful and tranquil. Its banks are lined with cypress trees that form a graceful canopy over the creek's dark waters. While it is also possible to explore Cedar Creek downstream of Bannister's Bridge, the creek is wider, easier to paddle, and more scenic in the vicinity of Cedar Creek Landing. BANNISTER'S BRIDGE TO CEDAR CREEK LANDING Time required: 4-6 hours For canoeists with two vehicles, this stretch of Cedar Creek makes for an enjoyable and satisfying day trip. The creek is narrow at first, twisting through brush and low forest, but it soon widens and flows past oaks and loblolly pines of near-record dimensions. At the halfway point, the creek drops under a bridge. Off to the right is Wise Lake, a former channel of the Congaree River. The lake can be visited, via a short channel, when water levels are high. After another 2-3 hours of easy paddling, the iron bridge at Cedar Creek Landing will come into view.
Time required: 12-14 hours Canoeists with two vehicles may also explore the wilder, eastern section of the park and float down the brown-water Congaree River. This works best as an overnight trip, so stop by the Visitor Center for a free backcountry permit before undertaking this adventure. About two miles downstream from Cedar Creek Landing, an old, hand-dug canal provides a short-cut through the neck of one of the creek's meanders. Two miles later, Cedar Creek makes a hard bend to the left and is joined by Horsepen Gut, a prominent tributary. Mazyck's Cut, a short channel that leads to the Congaree River, is three miles further ahead on the right. Here a wooden sign points toward the river and three trail markers indicate the shortcut. Since the remainder of Cedar Creek is not cleared or marked, it is recommended that canoeists follow Mazyck's Cut to the river. Once on the Congaree, clear floating awaits the canoeist for the 13 miles to the 601 bridge. |

Warmer summer weather in the city means more and more people will be using the city's streets and parks to go running.
With that in mind, the Community Affairs Bureau and the Crime Prevention Section of the NYPD are offering the following tips to encourage people to run more safely:
There is safety in numbers, so don't run alone. Find a partner or a group to run with. A local runners' club is considered a good start.
Run during daylight hours whenever possible. If you must run at night, wear light-reflecting or light-colored clothing.
Be thoroughly familiar with your route. Know the locations of phones, emergency call boxes, police stations, firehouses, hospitals and things like 24-hour businesses.
Listen to your instincts and be willing to vary your route if you sense that you are in danger.
Avoid running in deserted or poorly lighted areas.
Run against traffic whenever possible.
Be aware of who is around you at all times.
Do not acknowledge or respond to verbal harassment.
Carry a whistle or a bicycle air horn to summon help in an emergency.
Don't wear jewelry, such as chains, medallions, rings or expensive watches when running.
Tune into your surroundings, not out. Avoid wearing headphones.
Always carry some form of personal identification with you, including a medical alert ID if applicable, in case of an emergency.

Betabeat has been writing about the crunch for seed stage startups looking to raise series A since August of this year. The debate over this trend is now in full flower, with VCs divided over whether or not there is a reckoning in the works.
Regardless of what position you take on the series A situation, it's clear that 2010 saw a surge in seed stage investments. Pulling data from crunch base, Alexia Tsotsis found seed investments grew substantially while A rounds stayed flat.

DK books for 2011
Posted by Huw,DK are going to be busy publishing LEGO books this year by the looks of things. There's a list of Star Wars related books at StarWars.com, including 4 LEGO ones, one of which will be of interest to everyone here: "Star Wars Character Encylopedia" which will feature profiles of 200 minifigures!
There's also LEGO Harry Potter Building the Magical World, and Brickmaster City and Ninjago in the works, too. Clearly their previous collaborations with LEGO have been a success...

Nice! Sounds like an exclusive figure or two to come!
cool I love getting lego books
@Berrybrick I hope!
Wow, I hope the HP one comes with an exclusive figure. Prof. Sprout, Tonks, Kingsley, Percy, Bill or Charlie maybe??
Why have there been no articles recently, there is news out there , check TBB and EB.
I always see the books in stock, but I guess younger kids in my area buy them since it seems there's close to no AFOLs in my area and thaey must be pretty well stocked too.
Unfortunately these never really appealed to me and I'd rather save my money for actual sets.
^^ What stories do you think we should have covered here, that we didn't?
LegoCoastGuard: I highly doubt Charlie since he hasn't appeared in a movie yet. Probably a special Harry considering Luke.
That's so cool! I actually found out about it first at Star Wars.com then I went here to brickset and found it here too! I can't wait to check those books out! I wonder what the exclusive minifig will be? Cool!
These look awesome. I love the Character encyclopedia and the sticker books. Based on the previous Brickmasters(I have Star Wars and its awesome) the City one will be pretty good.
I really loved the Atlantis set, so the City one should be good.
I have enjoyed the Minifigure Sticker collection, Standing Small, the Lego Book, and the Star Wars Encyclopedia. I hope these are as good.
Can't wait for the Harry Potter book!!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I enjoy the Star Wars Visual Dictionary, The Lego Book, and Standing Small; I'm beginning to feel like they're going a bit overboard...I'm a little concerned we'll start seeing rehashes of these every 2-3 years. Yes, they haven't had much overlap yet, but I don't want this to turn into the Lego City Police collection.
I'll take a look and see what I think when I see them. I picked up the Atlantis book from them due to my love of that theme and wanting to collect it. I've seen other books for Star Wars, Pirates and Castle that they did. Those weren't bad, but didn't have personal appeal for me as an AFOL.
I saw these listed at Amazon.ca a few days ago... Or at least the Ninjago one being new along with Harry Potter and the Star Wars sticker books. The Character Encyclopedia wasn't listed, and I personally can't wait. The Brickmaster books are high-end caliber LEGO items that look good and add to the display for their Themes.
The Harry Potter book was listed as being the Visual Dictionary though, but that title makes a bit more sense. I too am hopeful that they will include bonus mini-figures with the Harry Potter one and that Character Encyclopedia from Star Wars.
As an AFOL I feel that DK and LEGO have done a great job so far with these books, and I doubt they'll have any problems with repeats. If they want to keep making Brickmaster books there are many other Themes that haven't been touched yet. They have yet to make a Space Themed one and if they're making Ninjago and Atlantis then any new Theme is fair game I'd imagine, even the Disney ones. (Possibly.)
^If they did space ones wouldn't they have to make something similar every year to 3 years?
The LEGO Star Wars Character Encyclopedia looks really cool. Does anybody know if it will include the June 2011 minifigures, like Savage Opress (7957 Dathomir Speeder) and Ki-Adi Mundi (7959 Geonosian Starfighter)?
I hope the exclusive minifigure for the new star wars book is a ceremonial Han Solo to go with Luke!
@lagojango: that would be cool!
Otherwise, I would want an original trilogy yoda figure - the Clone Wars one's eyes are too big :D
Or, either Anakin, Yoda, or old Obi-Wan completly in trans-blue (from the end scene in episode VI when they come back as ghosts)! It would be very collectible as it would be the only minifigure to appear in trans-blue.
Or, Boba Fett with printed arms ad legs: A mixture of the new torso, helmet, cape and jetpack and the old cloud city legs and arms :D
@voyanui8768: Your ideas are good too, but the Ceremonial Luke was made for the book because they wanted to make a minifigure that would probably never be released in a set, so all of your ideas are kinda cancelled out :( but since lego said they will never release a lego Yavin base (or at least one with ceremonial luke) Han seems next in line. The only other figure I see being made is San Hill http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/San_Hill or another Separatist.
The character encyclopaedia sounds promising, as long as it doesn't end up as just another book filled with big, simplified pictures and inane 'facts' that everybody already knows eg: big arrows pointing to lightsabres with a sign saying 'This is a Lightsabre' etc..
I'm hoping instead it has some proper, real world info about how they came up with the figures and how they went about designing and moulding them.
I'm probably clutching at straws though…
Huw, I'm pretty sure the stories LCG wants you to cover are the unofficial summer set pictures that everyone has from European catalogs. So I wouldn't worry about that until next month with toy fairs.
If you type in "city brickmaster" on Brickipedia, scroll down till you see City Brickmaster (top one) and click on it. Scroll down to the bottom of the page till you see "source", and click on DK retail catalogue.
@ people who want Ceremonial Han: Considering that Han Solo in that scene was just wearing his ordinary outfit in that scene all cleaned up and spiffy looking I think I'd prefer that this one include Ceremonial Princess Leia first, since at the moment I still don't have a Leia Mini-figure, the unique hair piece for her would be very welcome and also she could include a little Medal Accessory maybe... Although Accessories might not be possible with these books.
@Orange Lemons: LEGO Space Brickmaster wouldn't need to come up with something new every year, instead of sticking it to any one theme I think the Space Brickmaster book should go the Classic Space Era route with simple Models, a Blacktron 2 and Classic Space Man Mini-Figure or possibly a Blacktron 2, Classic Space Man and M-Tron Mini-Figure, making it one of the first Brickmaster books with three Mini-Figures. And that would embody LEGO Space... At least that's LEGO Space to me. But for the kids it might be a tad too outdated. SIGH. Oh well, it's just an idea.
I think it will be Queen Amadala. She has never been released in a set.
@Odeinoichus: Alright that makes space more reasonable. But if they were to do all the new space themes it would end up being very repetitive with all the new ones that look similar to a degree.
At Starfire@...that would be great if they can have Queen Amadala in her red ceremonial dress with that large, ornate headdress and kabuki-like makeup.
I agree. She would be a big seller.
I was thinking that they would produce another Vader fig so it could be like a father and son thing^^. But then again, we already have more than enough of him... I guess the chromed version would be the best one, or at least in my collection, that is.
Queen Amidala would be a great fig, but I wonder if TLG would be willing to produce one...I remember an article in Time magazine where it said they had to decrease the number of unique parts they produced as part of their streamlinig measures. And look at the Luke minifig: I do believe it's only the prints that are unique.
But hopefully they can make something new. Who knows? They made a new General Grievous minifig, didn't they? And it just looks so much better.
Orthobotrex said "... it said they had to decrease the number of unique parts they produced as part of their streamlinig measures ..."
That was a few years ago, and things have changed. There are a huge number of new parts in the collectable figs, for example. I opened the new Atlantis "Deep Sea Raider" (#7984, aka 'the drill sub') last night, and there are some *great* new parts in that set, as well as a number of older parts in colours they've never been released in before. Good times :-)
I would love for it to be a 'Queen Amidala' figure, which they've been teasing us with since the first LEGO Star Wars sets in 1999 ( look at the logo on the box here - http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=7141-1 )
Yes! A Queen Amidala fig would be SO cool! Especially if they made her face a little nicer looking. You know, smaller lips and nicer looking eyes. The old Padme figure looks evil sorta. Her lips are streched out over her face. :P Really weird. Anyways, yes, that'd be awesome. with the hair piece thing and everything, that'd be cool.
But then again a celebration Leia or Han would be very cool too. You know, a unique torso and hairpeice for Her Royal Highness and a medal for Mr. Scruffy. Just kidding! :)
I just had a thought, there is one Mini-Figure that I'd bet dollars to donuts LEGO will never make available in a set. Pregnant Padme... What if she's the next unique Mini-Figure? Drat, now I don't know which one I'd prefer, Ceremonial Leia, Pregnant Padme or Queen Padme.
^If you want a pregnant Padme, prepare for another sumo.
I would personally expect the character to be a well known one, probably from the original trilogy (Luke [pretty sure it won't be him], Leia, Han [not much more to do for him], Yoda [Probably not], R2-D2 [chrome?], or Ben Kenobi [Probably not]). Though Padme would be nice, I doubt that we'll see her (in this book) if she would have a unique hair piece, face, and torso (unless she is Episode II). I would more expect Leia or R2.
Pregnant Padme...Sumo wrestler...Patrick! ^^
Maybe we should look no further than the cover of the book...The area where the minifigure is supposed to be blocks out a lot of C3PO's picture...what if it's gonna be him?! But then again, what could be new about him? New arms?
I still wish that the red background represents royalty!
The Lukes we haven't seen yet: Tatooine-Luke, with poncho and hat. Cloud City-Luke, battle-damaged. Recovering Luke, from the end of "The Empire Strikes Back". That's it, I don't think they're very likely...(It could be Endor-Luke as well, but it has been done, if not too good)
The only version of Han Solo we've yet to see is the ceremonial one, and let's face it, that would be very lame.
We're missing to versions of Leia: Ceremonial, from "Star Wars" and dressed as the bounty-hunter Boushh. The last one is, in my mind, the most likely one, unless they remake Jabba's Palace, which I hope they'll do!
There are only two possible versions of Chewbacca(unless we count handcuffed) and that's regular Chewbacca and Chewbacca with C-3PO on his back. Then again, the last one could appear if they remake Cloud City, another wish of mine...
Someone mentioned the possibility of "force-ghosts", that's a good idea! I don't think they'll make a set called "Ewok Celebration" or a "Luke's Snowstorm Encounter", so that's a good guess at what the figure could be... And it's going to be Obi-Wan, not Yoda or Anakin(or Palpatine, for those who whatches "Robot Chicken").
Queen Amidala is a good guess, but I think(and hope) they're going to stick with the Original Trilogy.
They could bring back Greedo or Lobot, but they're minor charachters, so I'm not to sure...
What no-one has mentioned(I think) is this: What if it's Episode III-Anakin, we haven't seen a figure of him without "hands-free" or with a glowing lightsabre permanently attached to his arm. On this field there's actually a lot of potential, we've never seen a normal version of Palpatine(pre-lightning) or any of the Episode II characters, flesh-coloured.
Yes... Pregnant Padme would be cool....but you're right, they'll probably stick with the original trilogy. SapmiSatan, you forgot one Leia: the endor Leia where she's dressed in the dress the ewoks made for her. It'd be cool if that was the exclusive minifigure, don't you all think? I think so. :) But, a ghost minifig would be awesome too. Maybe a Ben Kenobi!
Yes, a ceremonial Han would be kinda lame. Even though Han's one of my fav characters, there's only so much Lego can do with him since he wears pretty much the same type of clothes all the time. Shirt...vest...pants....vest...pants....coat...blah, blah.
So I'm thinkin' it's going to be either a Luke or Leia. But Luke was the last exclusive minifig so I think they'll do something different. Who knows?
Can't wait till the book comes out! :D

Emery Jenkins Accused Of Killing Infant, Blaming Dog For Bite Marks
November 3, 2014 at 8:21 am by MorbidMINNEAPOLIS, MN – Emery Jenkins has been accused of beating his infant son to death and blaming bite marks found on the boy on the neighbor's dog.
The 3-month-old died last month after spending two days in the hospital. The medical examiner found the baby had suffered a skull fracture, blunt force trauma to the body, and had biting injuries to his chest, hands, fingers, feet and toes.
Jenkins, 38, initially told police that he accidentally dropped his son on his head while giving him a bath, and that the bite marks found on his son came from the neighbor's dog biting the boy while he was in a car seat wearing a monkey suit.
But the boy's mother told police a different story. She said that her husband was initially scared to call 911 after their son was injured, mainly because he had repeatedly bit the boy because he was crying. She said the bites were so severe that blood from the wounds had soaked through the baby's clothes.
She said Jenkins only called 911 after coming up with the genius "baby in a monkey suit being bitten by neighbor's dog" story.…
Toothless Man Accused Of Gumming Roommate After She Refused To Clean His Ear
July 17, 2014 at 3:09 am by JadedLakewood, WA — A 52-year-old man was arrested Sunday after angrily gumming his roommate's arm because she refused to clean his ear.
Kenneth Chambers and his roommate were apparently involved in some sort of strange altercation that stemmed from her refusal to clean his ear. One thing led to another, and Chambers ended up ripping the woman's bedroom door off its hinges.
The alleged victim told police that at that point, she sat on Chambers' lap and tried to talk to him, but he refused to be placated and pushed her to the floor. He then gummed her wrist. And then, well, he choked her a little bit and poured water all over her, damaging her hearing aid. When she stated she was going to call 911, Chambers threatened to kill her, she said.
When questioned by police, Chambers claimed the woman hit him… he was only trying to defend himself. He did admit to gumming her, but said it couldn't have hurt because he doesn't have any teeth.
Chambers was arrested after a witness confirmed the victim's account of the story.…
"Frustrated" Teen Father Accused Of Biting Off Part Of Infant Son's Nose
March 15, 2014 at 3:41 am by JadedFairfield, CA — An 18-year-old father, frustrated by his infant son's crying, has been jailed after allegedly biting at least one third of the child's nose off. That'll teach the little fucker, eh?
Police received a call from the infant's hysterical 17-year-old mother Thursday, who stated that her child was bleeding profusely from the nose. Or what was left of it, anyway….
An examination of the child revealed a skull fracture, a brain hemorrhage and the injury to the nose. They soon learned that the child's father, Joshua Cooper, was the responsible party. Police determined Joshua chewed on the kid's face because he wouldn't shut up.
He's been charged with child cruelty and aggravated mayhem. The investigation to determine how the child sustained the skull fracture and brain hemorrhage is ongoing.
The infant is said to be in stable condition.…
Macomb County, MI — A 31-year-old woman was arrested over the weekend after she bit off the top part of her boyfriend's ear during an argument.
The woman's 36-year-old boyfriend called police early Saturday morning, claiming that after an argument with his live-in lady, Danielle Nebelung, he was missing a chunk of flesh from the top of his ear.
No word on what the couple were arguing about, but I'm sure it was his fault. Anyway, the man told police Nebelung began punching him in the face and head. When he turned away from her, he said, she jumped on his back and chomped, biting off the top part of his left ear.
Fortunately for him, Nebelung is a spitter — the missing portion was located and he was transported to a hospital for treatment. Haven't seen whether they were able to reattach it or not.
Nebelung was arraigned on an aggravated assault charge and ordered held on $10,000 bond.…
Akron, OH — This here is 25-year-old Robert Kiefer — he's been accused of attacking a mailman, pepper spraying the dude and biting him multiple times, after a check he was expecting didn't show.
According to the 56-year-old victim, when he learned the postman wasn't delivering the aforementioned check, an agitated Kiefer snatched his pepper spray off his belt and squirted him in the eyes. This led to a wrestling match, of sorts, in the street. The mailman told police that while the two were struggling, Kiefer bit him on the leg three times.
The two were still at it when police arrived on scene. Kiefer still had a bit of fight left in him, and when officers tried to subdue him, he reportedly resisted. This earned him a pepper sprayin'.
The two were eventually pried apart and Kiefer was taken into custody. He was charged with assault and battery and resisting arrest, and was ordered held on $1,000 bond.
The mailman was treated at the scene for the bite wounds and a cut to the knee.…
Boca Raton, FL — A Florida man is facing charges after allegedly biting his neighbor's ear off because the man refused to give him a smoke.
According to the victim, John Ott, his neighbor approached him Friday night and asked if he could bum a cigarette. Before he even had a chance to realize what was happening, Ott said, Alberto Felipe was all over him.
"He comes up puts me in a bear hug and next thing I know he's biting my ear," Ott said. "This all started because I wouldn't give him a cigarette."
Ott was rushed to a local hospital, his ear just kinda hanging on by a thread. Fortunately, Felipe didn't swallow any important pieces and doctors were able to stitch it back on.
Felipe was arrested for felony aggravated battery, but has already made his $3,000 bond. It's not his first rodeo, either — he's had at least three previous convictions for assault and battery.
Ott says Felipe is back in the 'hood, hurling insults at him from across the street on a fairly regular basis.…
Burien, WA – A man is being charged with assault after biting his loving dad's eyebrow off in a drunken dispute.
Hermilo Salmeron was driving his son, 30 year-old Joel Salmeron-Ciprian, his son's wife, as well as his grandkids home from a wedding because his son was too drunk to drive.
Prosecutor's have relayed that Salmeron-Ciprian munchy-wunched on his father's face after the patriarch pulled the car over because his inebriated failure of a son was screaming expletives at him, punched him in the face, and eventually placed his hands around the driver's throat.
A fight ensued after both men exited the truck leading up to the bite. All of this in front of the passengers in the car, which included young children.
King County deputy sheriffs answered the call and found Salmeron-Ciprian pinned to the ground by his father, who was bleeding profusely from his face. Medics responded to the scene and took the older man to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
Upon his arrest, Salmeron-Ciprian decided to challenge deputies, which led to his dumb ass being subdued with a stun-gun.…
Man Allegedly Assaults Parents After His Request To See The Family Cat is DENIED
December 6, 2013 at 2:42 am by JadedDaly City, CA — A 26-year-old man accused of "viciously" biting his parents and threatening to kill them and burn their home down during an argument over a visit with the family cat, has pleaded not guilty to felonious assault.
After returning home from a Thanksgiving trip Saturday, Yevgeniy Bolshakov asked his parents if he could see the family cat, as he had missed the evil fucking creature while he was away. His parents denied his request, stating that the cat had recently undergone surgery and just wasn't up to receiving visitors. Primadonna….
And that's about the time Bolshakov lost his shit.
He reportedly lashed out at his father, punching him in the head several times before biting a chunk of meat out of the 64-year-old man's arm. He also bit the man on the elbow and the chin. When mom tried to intervene, the 54-year-old woman got popped upside the head and bitten on hand, claim authorities.
Bolshakov was promptly carted off to jail, allegedly declaring on the way that he wanted to kill both of his parents and burn their apartment down.…
Woman Accused Of Instructing Nephew To Bite Niece, Cut Her With Knife
October 18, 2013 at 11:09 am by MorbidHOUSTON, TX – Police have accused a woman of instructing her 5-year-old nephew to bite his 7-year-old sister and cut her with a knife.
Irene Gonzales, 37, has been charged with injury to a child after teachers at her niece's school noticed the girl was sporting bruised bite marks and cuts on her back. When asked how she received her injuries, she told them her little brother did it. When asked why he would do that, she told them it was because her aunt told him to.
When police questioned the boy, he confirmed his sister's story and said that he'd bit his sister after being told to do so by Gonzales. When Gonzales was questioned, she actually admitted she'd told the boy to bite his sister as a form of discipline, and to cut her back with a knife as a form of punishment.
Gonzales, who has custody the two children, is being held on $5,000 bond. Child Protective Services says it's investigating and the children have been placed with another family member.…
Christina Salinas Accused Of Biting Husband's Penis During Argument
May 28, 2013 at 8:30 am by AnastasiaRough and Ready, CA – Christina Salinas' husband says the only thing he regrets about his wife biting his penis, is that he called 911.
The incident happened last Sunday after Salinas and her her husband, Anthony Hill, got into an argument while drinking at the Penn Valley Rodeo. She wanted to stay and dance, but he wanted to go home. The argument escalated once the couple arrived at home when Salinas grabbed two kitchen knives.
That's when Salinas' ex-husband, who lives with the couple, talked her into dropping the knives. When Hill tried leaving the house and got her four kids into the car, Salinas ran out and attacked him. With her husband and ex-husband trying to hold Salinas down, she somehow managed to bite Hill's penis and hand.
Hill called 911, but says now he regrets doing that as the couple routinely assault each other. "I've assaulted her before in arguments," he stated. "We work it out." The Sheriff's department stated Hill told them that Salinas smacked her oldest daughter around, but Hill is claiming this isn't true.…
Bradenton, FL – According to police, when 19-year-old Krystle Harrison's live-in boyfriend refused to have sex with her, she bit his dick in retaliation.
According to the police report, Harrison and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Jeffrey Wilkinson, were in bed when Harrison got horny and began touching on Wilkinson.
But Wilkinson had no desire to give his dog a bone and told her several times that he did not want to have sex. When he turned away from Harrison, that's when he said she grabbed him and "bit his penis."
Aftr getting up and walking out of the home the couple shares with their infant son, Harrison followed and allegedly slapped Wilkinson in the face before spitting in it.
Deputies noted Wilkinson had some minor scratches to his chest but he declined medical treatment for that or his bit penis. He also declined signing a sworn affidavit about the incident, telling police he did not want to press charges against his girlfriend.
Regardless, the couple were handed Domestic Violence packets and Harrison was arrested on charges of misdemeanor domestic battery.…
Conway, SC – Police have charged 35-year-old heather Hampton with unlawful neglect of a child after they say she was drunk when she got into a fight with her two sons and ended up biting one child while stepping on another.
According to police, Hampton was intoxicated Saturday night when she began arguing with an 11-year-old boy that got so heated that police were called to the home.
When police arrived, they found the 11-year-old was sporting visible injuries, including bite marks on his head, neck and face. A 2-year-old boy was also there and had a scratch on his shoulder and chin.
The older boy told police Hampton was responsible for his injuries and that she'd also knocked over and stepped on the toddler. Hampton, who police noted had the smell of alcohol on her breath, was arrested and charged with two counts of unlawful neglect of a child.
The S.C. Department of Social Services arrived at the home and arranged a temporary place for the two boys to stay. …
Shoe Salesman Who Tried To Bite Off Ex's Toe Charged With Doing It Again
April 4, 2013 at 9:48 am by MorbidSante Fe, NM – Back in February, we reported on 27-year-old Daniel Anaya, the Dillard's shoe salesman accused of attacking his ex-girlfriend and trying to chew off her big toe. He's now been arrested again, charged with doing the exact same thing.
Anaya first made the news after he broke into his ex girlfriend's apartment, held her down and proceeded to take bites out of her toenail and toe flesh with "a blank look on his face." Anaya was facing charges of burglary, false imprisonment, interference with communications and aggravated battery against a household member.
That case was was dismissed because a witness or prosecutor didn't show up to court. I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that the ex-girlfriend didn't show up, and that she is now regretting that decision.
After filing a restraining order against Anaya, the victim moved from Santa Fe to Albuquerque. This did little to deter Anaya, who tracked her down and walked into the woman's residence on April 1st. His ex informed him that he he needed to get out and that he was violating a restraining order.…
Tori Wheeler Accused Of Playing Terrible Prank, Cutting Boyfriend's Throat
April 3, 2013 at 9:36 am by MorbidWagoner County, OK – Police have arrested 18-year-old Tori Wheeler after they say she played an April Fool's prank on her boyfriend before cutting his throat.
On April 1st, Wheeler decided to play a prank on her boyfriend, Derek Bauer, by telling him she was pregnant. Bauer did not take the news very well and became agitated at the thought of fathering a child with Wheeler.
Wheeler then became angry at her boyfriend's negative response and responded by pulling out a knife and threatening Bauer with it. Wheeler later told police that the "threatening upset boyfriend with a knife" was also part of her hilarious April Fool's prank
Bauer didn't find any of this funny at all and threatened to call police on Wheeler. That's when Wheeler lost her goddamn marbles and attacked Bauer, cutting his throat with the knife and biting him twice.
After calling police to report Wheeler, Bauer was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and later released. For her prank, Tori Wheeler was taken to jail on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.…
Growling Escort Charged With Attempted Murder After Trying To Eat Man's Penis
March 21, 2013 at 1:45 pm by MorbidOrlando, FL – Police have charged 29-year-old Priscilla Vaughn with attempted murder after she chewed on a man's genitals so severely that he needed surgery.
The man met Vaughn on Backpage.com where she is listed as an escort. After a romantic dinner at Applebee's, the pair consumed Ecstasy, alcohol and marijuana before going back to a hotel room. That's where Vaughn started biting the 30-year-old man's penis and genitals, causing him to bleed heavily.
The man told deputies that it appeared as if Vaughn was "trying to eat his penis and testicles." He said he tried to fight her off but she was too powerful and she tried gouging his eyes out. After biting and scratching the man's leg, abdomen, chest and fingers, Priscilla Vaughn took his car keys and broke his phone. He ended up locking himself in the bathroom until help arrived.
Luckily, other hotel guests heard screaming and growling coming from the room and called 911. Vaughn was still there when police arrived on the scene, naked and growling with blood around her mouth.…
Woman Accused Of Biting Man's Tongue Off After Valentine's Day Spat
February 19, 2013 at 7:12 am by JadedSkokie, IL — The pleasant looking woman you see to the left is 51-year-old Elaine Cook – she's behind bars on a $100,000 bond for allegedly biting off a significant chunk of her boyfriend's tongue. Yum.
According to prosecutors, Cook and her 47-year-old boyfriend of 10 months had just returned home after a Valentine's Day date when shit got ugly.
After arguing, Cook demanded that her boyfriend vacate the premises. He tried to oblige, but made the mistake of trying to kiss and make up before leaving.
"He told her they should stop fighting and went to kiss her," Assistant State's Attorney Eve Reilly said, "and she bit off a large portion of his tongue."
The man ran to the kitchen sink. Cook followed, prosecutors say, and placed the chunk of mouth meat in her hand and tossed it on the kitchen counter. Nonchalantly, I'm sure. Dude put the severed tongue in a bag of ice and called 911.
Cook's been booked on charges of aggravated domestic battery.
Unfortunately for the boyfriend, due to an "inadequate blood supply," the tongue could not be reattached.…
Man Accused Of Swallowing Cousin's Earlobe After Drunken Brawl Over Music
February 14, 2013 at 2:19 am by JGo555Stamford, Connecticut — Emilio Mendoza, 27, apparently hates getting told what to do. And who doesn't after moving out of your parents house!?
According to police, on Feb. 11th, Mendoza's cousin/roommate, Ruiz Clemente-Pérez, asked him to turn the music down because he had to go to work in the morning. Oh, hell no! You are NOT going to mess with his jam. Mendoza then proceeded to punch Pérez in the head, police say.
At some point during the brawl, Mendoza allegedly bit Pérez's left ear, tearing part of his earlobe off. Stamford Police Sgt. Richard Barbagallo told the press that an intoxicated Mendoza then swallowed the chunk of ear meat. No longer an empty stomach? Can keep on drinking.
Mendoza alleges that Pérez threw the first punch.
Pérez was hospitalized with a broken nose and fractured eye socket. Sadly, he also never made it to work the next morning since he was charged with third degree assault.
Mendoza's bail was set at $100,000, and he was charged with first-degree assault, interfering with police, forgery and disorderly conduct.…
Matthew Wayne Strawn Accused Of Biting 11-Day-Old Son While Newborn Was In ICU
February 13, 2013 at 7:49 pm by MorbidPORTSMOUTH, VA – Police in Portsmouth have charged 21-year-old Matthew Wayne Strawn with biting his 11-day-old son while the newborn was in an intensive care unit.
According to the reports, police officers were called to the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center on Feb. 1 for a report of possible abuse. Staff at the Naval Medical Center informed them that the newborn was with Strawn in a private hospital room away from the NICU so they could spend some time alone together and bond.
Sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m., hospital staff said when they went into the room to check on Strawn and his son they noticed that the infant had visible contusions to his back and face. They immediately removed the newborn and called police.
After police interviewed Strawn, investigators believed he had bitten his son. Strawn was subsequently arrested and charged with one count of felony child abuse and one count of felonious assault. Strawn is currently free after being released from jail on a personal recognizance bond.
A restraining order was filed against Strawn, who works in an administrative position at the medical center, stating he is not allowed to get near his son.…

Our Featured North Little Rock, AR Partner:
Animal Rescue Fund Arkansas
Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
P.O. Box 17460 North Little Rock, AR 72116 |
Email: Website: http://www.arfarkansas.com |
Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
We are located in central Arkansas, and serve the local area, as well as other areas where good transport is available. Many of our satisfied adopters outside our local area have readily agreed to vouch for us.About Our Rescue Group:
We are a group of dedicated volunteers passionate about helping "down on their luck" homeless canines find wonderful, loving forever homes.Come Meet our Pets:
We are not a city shelter and our dogs are not housed in a shelter or central location where the general public can meet them. All of our dogs are kept in private foster homes throughout central AR.Our Adoption Process:
Our volunteers know our dogs the best, and will be able to make better decisions on animal placements. Just because you are not selected for the animal you apply for, does not mean that you do not have a great home to offer to a rescued animal.We want the entire family to be a perfect match for a happily ever after story. Once an application for a particular dog is approved the dog's foster parent arranges a meet and greet between the dog and the prospective adopter; however, there is no obligation to adopt.
All of our dogs are fully vetted prior to adoption. Many of the dogs coming into our program are somewhat lacking in the social graces and our foster parents help them begin their life changing journey of developing into your dream dog. We try to match each of our animals to the perfect home, and the perfect home to one of our dogs.
Our adoption fees vary from dog to dog, most fees range from 195.00 to 500.00. All of the dogs in our care are supported only by donations. All of the adoption donations we collect are spent in full on the care of the animals in our group, such as food, vetting, and heartworm preventative, spot on flea and tick preventative, and any other medicine that might be required by the vet.
Any dog that tests positive for heart worm is treated by means of a conservative protocol, which consists of a normal monthly dose of Ivermectin based heartworm preventive. Dogs on this protocol test Heartworm Negative in 1-2 years. Puppies that are too young to be spayed/neutered will be adopted on a contract that the adopter will have it completed by 6 months of age or per their veterinarian. All dogs and puppies 12 weeks and older will have a rabies vaccination.
These dogs are not inexpensive to rescue but they are our passion, we will do all we can do give them a happy ending to a very sad beginning. We love our dogs and no matter what happens in the future if you cannot care for them we do require that they be returned to us. 10 days or 10 years, it does not matter. We are honest and supportive; we will be here if you need us.

The Local Chelsea Hotel Renovation
"Chelsea Hotel," has been a staple at Leonard Cohen concerts since the early 1970s; it has also been featured on occasion in Heck Of A Guy entries.
Having discovered that embedded videos of performances of this song had been rendered inoperative by YouTube's removal of the original videos from its site for possible copyright violations, I spent some time replacing those videos and freshening up the posts. In doing so, I realized this presented the opportunity to offer readers a collage of posts on the theme of Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel."
Janis Joplin And "Chelsea Hotel #1″
The keystone of this grouping is Rare Leonard Cohen Chelsea Hotel #1 Video, a post featuring videos and commentary on the first version of the song, which was played live at concerts but was never released on an album, and a video of "Chelsea Hotel #2″ that includes the story Leonard Cohen tells of meeting Janis Joplin on the elevator of the Chelsea Hotel (as this introduction explains, the liaison between Leonard Cohen and Janis Joplin at the Chelsea Hotel was the factual basis and inspiration for the song, "Chelsea Hotel," but you knew that already, didn't you?).
Janis Joplin is the focus of Janis Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart" Is On Leonard Cohen's Jukebox and is briefly discussed by Leonard Cohen in a 1976 interview available at Leonard Cohen – Poet Of Rock Music – On Poems Vs Songs, His Withdrawn Novel, Janis Joplin In LA, Album Titles, & The Perfect Ass. She also plays a major role in Leonard Cohen & Joe Namath – Parallels Between The Poet & The Passer.
"Chelsea Hotel #2″
Of course, several posts contain videos of "Chelsea Hotel #2″ being performed during the Leonard Cohen World Tour. Leonard Cohen In Madrid – 2 Videos & None Of That Jiving Around includes the rendition from the September 12, 2009 Madrid show.
A fascinating perspective on the significance of a single word from the lyrics of "Chelsea Hotel No. 2″ can be found under the heading, In The Beginning Was The Word; It Was, Of Course, Leonard Cohen's Word, at The Right Words In A Song, On A Date, and In Flight.
The Other "Chelsea Hotel" Songs
Some of the best covers of "Chelsea Hotel," including versions by Rufus Wainwrigh, Regina Spektor, and Josh Ritter, can be downloaded via links found under the heading, Songs About The Chelsea Hotel, at Download Goodies – Music By Leonard Cohen & Pete Seeger Plus Songs About The Chelsea Hotel.
One of my personal favorites among the covers of this song is Allison Crowe's, a video of which can be found at Joyfully Caught In Allison Crowe's "Spiral".
The Jeffrey Lewis – Leonard Cohen Connection Myth is an interesting take on the writer-singer of the funniest song about Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2."
The Leonard Cohen-Chelsea Hotel Commemoration
Plaque Commemorating 75th Birthday Of Chelsea Hotel Resident Leonard Cohen Unveiled Today is a report of – well, the placement of a plaque commemorating the 75th Birthday of one-time Chelsea Hotel resident, Leonard Cohen. Video of this ceremony can be found at Video – Unveiling Of Chelsea Hotel Plaque Honoring Leonard Cohen.

"This recipe runs a close second, barely edged out by Jeni's salty caramel ice cream. Hint: before you put the dairy products into your nonstick pan, add a thin layer of water to the pan.

"Yes, you can make ice cream at home that tastes super-deluxe! I read a review from another site where the chef used the entire purée, apparently with great results.

"This is like eating out at home! I roasted the peppers under the broiler because I find holding them over a gas grill can give a bit of an off-gas flavor to the pepper.

"This is an easy recipe and tasty (even with the regular grocery store beans). I soaked and cooked dried cannellini beans in my crock pot according to recipe#354834. This dish is good warm or cold and is great even for those of us without the bean pots or heirloom beans. Thanks for posting!"
"Simple and delicious. We enjoyed this as a cold salad, using fresh summer corn, tomatoes, and basil. If you want to make a creamy sauce, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining the pasta, then mix the pasta water back into the salad. Thanks for posting!"
"We made this recipe using red peppers that we roasted ourselves. Even with the home roasting, this recipe is very quick, simple, and tastes gourmet. Try a quick vegetarian meal using this pesto with sauteed summer squash, pasta, and parmesan cheese. Thanks for posting."
"Delicious! I had everything pre-cut, which made this come together super quick (plus I used my immersion blender right in the pot). I used low sodium chicken stock rather than the water and chicken soup powder. This was quick and very tasty, two requirements for a after-work meal. Thanks for posting!"

Comrex Releases 2.8 Beta Firmware for Access IP Codecs
Devens, MA - Jan 7, 2011 - Comrex has released an update for its line of Access IP codecs. The 2.8 firmware update is available as a beta release and can be downloaded for free from the Comrex website or by contacting Comrex Tech Support. The 2.8 firmware release provides two significant new features: Support for select 4G wireless devices in the U.S. and the inclusion of AAC coding algorithms on all new Access codecs that ship with 2.8 firmware.
"We've been closely following the development of 4G wireless data services from both Clear (4G WiMax) and Verizon (4G LTE) over the past year," says Comrex Technical Director Tom Hartnett. "The 2.8 Beta release for Access will include support for Clear's 4G Mobile USB modem and Verizon's Pantech UML290 4G USB modem. Based on our initial testing and customer feedback, we feel these new 4G data services will significantly enhance our user's remote broadcast experience above and beyond that of existing 3G networks." Hartnett also indicates that other 4G USB devices will be supported in the future along with continued support for new 3G USB devices.
Comrex will also include its optional AAC coding algorithm package (licensed by Fraunhofer) as standard on all new Access Portable and Access Rack codecs that ship with 2.8 firmware. Owners of older Access codecs can still update their existing units with AAC by acquiring a license unlock from Comrex for a nominal fee.
Founded by John Cheney in 1961, Comrex is now celebrating its 50th year in business.

Austin has the largest population of any neighborhood in Chicago and is located on the Far West Side of Chicago, bordered by Cicero Avenue (east), Milwaukee District/West Line (west) and Roosevelt Road (south). Its northern border extends just beyond North Avenue. Thanks in part to some of the best commuter services in Chicago, Austin grew rapidly in the early 20th century, attracting a variety of European immigrants, including Germans, Scandinavians, Irish, Italians and Greeks. Austin was nearly an all-white community (99.8%) up until the 1960s when riots, "blockbusting" and other events began to change the neighborhood's demographics. By the year 2000, African-Americans made up 90.2% of Austin's population. Currently, Austin is recognized as one of the most crime-ridden areas in Chicago. The neighborhood is plagued by illegal drug markets and high murder rates.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2000, of a total population of 117,527, Austin's population was 90.2% Black or African-American. According to the city of Chicago, from 1990 to 2000, Austin's population increased 3.02%, slightly less than the city average (4%). The median age in Austin was 29.5, more than two years less than the city average. The median household income in Austin was $33,663 (nearly $10,000 less than the city average of $43,223) and about a quarter (24.1%) of Austin's population lived in poverty.
With Austin's population boom in the early 20th century, the architectural landscape completely changed. Large frame homes were the norm in Austin in the late 19th century, but they would soon be surrounded by brick two-flats, small frame houses and ubiquitous brick story-and-a-half bungalows (north Austin) and rowhouses, corner apartment blocks, and brick three-flats and courtyard apartment buildings (south Austin).
Commerce & Industry
Designed as a residential neighborhood, there are not a large number of stores in the Austin area, although there were significant industrial corridors, including the current Pulaski Industrial Corridor, to the North, East, and South. Originally, commerce in Austin followed the transit lines, with business development mainly along Chicago Avenue and Lake Street, although Austin never had the volume of retailers as neighboring communities. Many of the small, family-run stores that did exist left the South Austin area during the time of the "white flight" in the 1960s and 1970s. However, along the North Avenue at the western edge of Austin (adjacent to suburban Oak Park), there is a small shopping area with mainly clothing retailers. According to the 2000 Census, the major industries that employ Austinites are education, health, social services, manufacturing, and retail trade.
Education & Unemployment
Austin has received considerable attention recently because of Renaissance 2010, the controversial Chicago Public Schools initiative to close down "failing" schools and open 100 high-performing schools by they year 2010. After the 2006-2007 school year, Austin Community Academy High School shut down and eventually three new, smaller high schools will fill the building. Also, KIPP Ascend Charter School, a tuition-free college preparatory middle school, opened in the Austin neighborhood in 2003 and remains one of the most successful schools in the city.
According to statistics from the Chicago Public Schools' lunch program, 90% of the children who attend Austin public schools are from poor families, 6% are working poor and 4% are lower-middle income. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, the per capita income in Austin is approximately $12,823.
Social Organization
Austin has a rich history of community activism; however, for whatever reason, many residents do not access programs being offered in the community. The Field Museum's ethnographic study of the Austin neighborhood point out that the vibrant street life is one of Austin's greatest assets. Public events being run by block clubs or churches are very common. Youth fests, community gardens, gospel fests, a strong community involvement in the arts, weekly farmers markets, and the annual Taste of Austin present enormous potential for community engagement in Austin. Much of the community organizing, however, is on an informal basis. Reverend Davis, a pastor at a local Austin church explains, "I consistently see people taking charge of their community, whether on a large scale, like organizing a six-block cleanup, or something smaller, like helping neighbors carry their groceries home."
Neighborhood groups like the Organization for a Better Austin have worked to stabilize the community and prevent further disinvestment, or loss of jobs and commerce, as have nonprofit housing developers aided by South Shore Bank.

Today my eye hurt almost all day. It filled with tears sometimes, and also became quite bloodshot. Of course, because the eye system is somehow connected to the nasal system (see Dr. Immasmartbiotype for more details) this also meant I became snivelly and snotty. Nevertheless, my boss still talked to me — sometimes in close proximity, which means he can't help but have noticed. I wondered if people in the office thought I was a cry baby. On the drive home, which took one hour and twenty three minutes (thank you rush hour traffic!) my eye continued to hurt, and I was leaking tears everywhere. Upon my return to my abode, I took out my contact lenses. This ammeliorated things somewhat.
After dinner, I walked along the Lachine Canal (I am addicted to this canal) and then along rue Notre Dame, finally veering north up rue Guy and to downtown and to this computer lab, where I sit typing this. During the walk, the weather turned from light and partly cloudly, to dusk and rainy, to night-time and windy. Huge maple leaves, the residue of last year, swirled around, as did bits of airborne garbage. I saw a couple of flashes of lightning, but I heard no thunder. The lights in all the quiet apartment buildings were yellow and cosy; people were sitting at the dinner table, or watching TV, or on their computers. Very few people were outside. Small wonder, with the gusts intense enough to turn my umbrella inside out.
All this as exciting and beautiful as it was, my eye still kinda hurts.

65 Ballard to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram 151 BATAVIA, 23 May 1947, 1.55 p.m.
We saw Gani yesterday and Van Hoogstraten this morning. The position is that agreement has been reached between them on the Dutch draft covering both the message and conditions (referred to as (A) and (B) in my telegram 148 [1]). Gani's English translation however differs from the Dutch text in one particular. This may be disposed of today.
2. The question of procedure is now in hand. As the message (A) is intergovernmental we agree with the Dutch view that it is a matter for Dutch and Indonesian Foreign offices here, while (B) conditions should be signed for implementing departments i.e. by Van Hoogstraten and Gani or of representatives.
3. Van Hoogstraten says that Gani at present wishes to sign both but if this is so we would hope to persuade him to agree to the above procedure. [2]
4. The method of transmission of joint message will be discussed by both parties.
We expect to secure that it will be formally lodged with Ballard as Consul-General. We have throughout insisted with both sides that the Australian Government must receive message before publication and each has concurred to this.
5. Your telegram 124. [3] Van Hoogstraten stated explicitly that concrete steps towards implementation are already in progress and will be carried on. For example agreement has been reached on exchange of a definite quantity of the textiles now in Australia against 70,000 tons of rice from the Republic. This has not yet been finalised pending the outcome of talks as above; moreover the Republican authorities concerned have not yet provided detailed figures of rice available. This however will not delay the conclusion of (A) and (B). Van Hoogstraten repeated that the working out of details is a complicated task which will take some time since it involves not only the allocation of commodity by commodity, but also the price, item by item. Incidentally he affirmed trucks will be allotted the Republic.
6. Reference to first paragraph above and my telegram 148. It seems Schuurman [and] Boon may not have understood the positions correctly as regards (B) conditions. Van Hoogstraten's account of the position to us this morning suggests prospects are more favourable than we gather from talks with Schuurman and Boon.
7. We expect report.
