Hi, I am Sheryl (sezena on find a grave) I believe this should show the spelling as RUPERD, although there are several different spellings of this last name (they are in our family tree (RHOADES), when I look closely at the pic on the memorial, I believe it reads RUPERD.
Thanks for our kind consideration and your time in working on all of the memorials

Olbia Flights
An international landmark and destination chosen by tourists from all over the world to visit the glamorous Costa Smeralda, with its small bays and granite rocks, Olbia is the ideal place for making new friends and VIP connections during the summer vacation.
The most glamorous and modern side of Olbia, surrounded by greenery typical of northern Sardinia, is undoubtedly its seafront, with elegant stores and small shops selling local handicrafts that preserve the history of this "happy town", as it was called by the ancient Greeks.
For a tasty pit stop, Olbia, like all of Sardinia, is a feast of delights: sit outside one of the charming restaurants and cafés that are bustling with people, and eat mussels, a typical local dish, either with pasta or by themselves, then sip a coffee and taste honey seadas and tiliccas, traditional Sardinian sweets.

AVOGADRO CORP: The Singularity is Closer than it Appears
A Singularity Novel
Avogadro Corp: The Singularity is Closer than it Appears is a techno-thriller that explores how artificial intelligence will emerge and how humanity will respond to it.
When the ELOPe project is threatened to be cancelled because of server shortages, David makes a subtle change to the software allowing it to secretly modify company emails to ensure the success of the project.
But soon ELOPe is social engineering people around the company to get more servers allocated to it, to modify other software to expand its own capabilities, and to neutralize threats. As David and his coworkers slowly realize what's happening, they take ever escalating actions to shut ELOPe down, only to find the software is always one step ahead of them.

A Singularity Novel
Leon Tsarev is a high school student set on getting into a great college program, until his uncle, a member of the Russian mob, coerces him into developing a new computer virus for the mob's botnet – the slave army of computers they used to commit digital crimes.
The evolutionary virus Leon creates, based on biological principles, is successful — a little too successful. All the world's computers are infected. Everything from cars to payment systems and, of course, computers and smart phones stop functioning, and with them go essential functions including emergency services, transportation, and the food supply. Billions of people may die.
But evolution never stops. The virus continues to change, developing intelligence, communication, and finally an entire civilization of A.I. called the Phage. Some may be friendly to humans, but others most definitely are not.
Leon and his companions must race against time and the military to find a way to either befriend or eliminate the Phage and restore the world's computer infrastructure.

Catherine Matthews, nineteen years old, has a unique gift: the ability to manipulate the net with her neural implant. Yanked out of her perfectly ordinary life, Catherine becomes the last firewall standing between Adam and his quest for world domination.

Guest Picks: Map-tastic: Map-Inspired Home Ideas
Even if you're addicted to using your GPS device in the car, you can still use good ol' traditional maps in your home! Maps and map designs are popping up everywhere in home accessories and furniture: from wall art and pictures, to cushions, chairs and beanbags. Here are some of my favorite map-related home finds to inspire you.

This typographic text map is a clever idea. I love the color and vibrancy of the design.

This is a brilliant idea. The map is vintage and can be chosen, so you end up with a very special piece of wall art that means something to you.
This is a fun take on the trend for typography letters. You choose the letters (or words) and the maps you'd like on them.
So much work has gone into this map, as it's based on an original paper cut. This one offers a great insight into the layout of the city of Paris.
This brilliant world map wall sticker comes with dots that you can use to mark the places you've been on your travels.
Maps can even help light up your home. This funky lampshade is handmade from a vintage New York map.

I love the quirky design of this map chair.
This is so clever! This fab piece of statement wall art has been created from recycled and re-purposed vintage maps.

I'm a big fan of magnetic notice boards, and I love the world map design of this one.
This is a great map of part of London. It would be perfect for a vintage-chic look.
This lovely china set features a map of Great Britain. Catch up on your geography as you drink tea and eat cake.
There's even bunting made from vintage maps!

This clever New York map poster is made up of place names.
With these street maps on mugs, you'll never get lost again.
Maps work on mirrors, too, as this London Tube map mirror demonstrates. Now you can plan your morning commute as you brush your hair!
These dinky little map magnets are perfect for use on a magnetic memo board. They may be small in size, but you still get some great vintage map details in them.
These map placemats are brilliant! I love the fact that they can be personalized with maps of England, Scotland and Wales dating back to 1800.
This fabulous lantern is made from American road maps.
I'm always in need of more storage solutions, so I love this map-covered box.
This black and white world map cushion is bold and beautiful.
This map incorporates six clocks, so you'll know what time it is in different time zones across the world.
These pull handles would be perfect for livening up a tired old cabinet or chest.
This is not just a map; it's a wine map of Italy! It's decorative, educational and highly informative.
This is a fun idea: keep track of the countries you've visited by scratching them off on this wall map.
Perfect for alfresco lounging or dining in the garden, this rug has loads to look at as you relax.
Strictly speaking, this is wrapping paper. But as it's such great quality, it doubles up wonderfully as a poster. Use it as is on your wall, or add it to a special frame. It also makes a great, inexpensive map to add to a child's room.

"When I first copied this wonderful recipe I saw that it read "3/4 tsp oil." Of course that couldn't have been right so I used 3/4 oil instead, and it turned out beautifully. I have made it with yellow cake mix, no pudding mix (I didn't have any), no nuts, added raisins and spices. Yum, it was so good and moist. Glad to see that the tsp and cup err..."
"This is wonderful, made half a recipe. Used Splenda rather than sugar, we can't eat the sugar. Instead of red pepper flakes I added a small can of chilies, and a few flakes of Jalapeno dried peppers. Also about 1/2 cup cilantro. I sterilized the jars by using my steamer cannier processing for about ten minutes. The steamer cannier is 100% better ..."
"I've never had a problem with these salmon patties being too moist, so perhaps there wasn't enough oatmeal as directed in the recipe. In any case, I love these, and eat them with the perfect tartar sauce that Julesong posted, too. Wonderful!"
"I'm Mom, and this is how I make our dressing every year. We now use the crock pot rather than stuffing the turkey, but it still comes out wonderful. If you think your dressing is a bit too dry, try adding a mixture of broth and a little melted butter, mix well, cover, and let it sit for a few minutes before fluffing with a fork for serving.

The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12-Inch Skillet isn't as outstanding a performer as the top-rated All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Fry Pan (*Est. $140) , but at roughly half the price, it's a good value. The pan is roomy, and heat distribution is fairly even. As with other stainless pans, sticking is a problem, and some users find cleanup a hassle. Also, the bottom of the pan may start to bulge over time.
Like other stainless pans, food sticks. This is a good thing when you're searing a steak or cooking a pan sauce, which requires the development of a brown crust known as fond. As one Amazon.com user notes, "You just cannot get the kind of sear on a nonstick pan as you can with this." For delicate foods like eggs or fish, however, sticking can be a problem. A couple of owners at Amazon.com say the best way to avoid this problem is to use the right combination of oil and heat. The trick, one user explains, "is to let it heat up first, then add the oil, then your food." Most owners say that this heavy pan distributes heat evenly, but professional chefs who tested it had minor concerns. Although onions cooked evenly at first, they say, minor hot spots formed later on, causing the onions to brown unevenly.
Features to make cooking easy. Its large surface, according to professional testers, can accommodate eight pieces of chicken with no crowding. Both professionals and users love the skillet's "helper" handle, which makes it easier to maneuver the heavy pan into the oven or pour off liquids. Another nice feature is that both the main handle, made of stainless steel, stays cool. However, we did see one or two user complaints that the handle is a bit small, especially for such a large pan. A couple of users also wish that this skillet came with a lid.
Users are divided over the issue of cleanup. (Although this skillet is dishwasher-safe, the manufacturer recommends washing by hand to prevent scratching.) Some owners complain that stuck-on food is very hard to remove. However, other users say they have no trouble keeping the pan clean with the help of a suitable cleanser (as discussed below). Another possible problem is that the "oversized" pan may not fit into smaller sinks, making soaking difficult.
Users describe this skillet as "beautiful." One owner says that the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro has both the weight and looks of the much pricier All-Clad pan. Most owners also find that keeping the finish shiny is no problem. One owner says, "I use Bar Keepers Friend and it is high-gloss shiny each time!" Two other users who had problems with burned-on food say their pans cleaned up "as good as new" after they were soaked and scrubbed with cleanser. Users caution that it's wise to avoid using metal tools with this skillet to prevent surface scratches.
Holds up reasonably well in tests. It's not quite as durable as the All-Clad, which survives abuse with barely noticeable dents, but it does better than some cheaper pans. One problem noted by some users is that the skillet's bottom tends to develop a bulge over time, preventing it from sitting flat on the stove burner. (A few users say the skillet bottom was warped upon purchase.) Professional testers did not observe this problem, so it may be a matter of uneven quality control. In theory, damage of this kind should be covered under Cuisinart's lifetime warranty. However, we read a couple of Amazon.com reviews saying that getting Cuisinart to replace the skillet under warranty is a major hassle, and claims may be denied.

Review Credibility: Excellent Editors test seven 12-inch stainless-steel skillets priced at $100 or less. Most of the pans, including the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12-Inch Skillet, are fully clad, with an aluminum core extending all the way up the sides of the pan. They run the pans through weeks of testing: searing steaks, pan-roasting chicken parts, sautéing onions and making pan sauces. They also test durability by putting hot pans into ice-cold water and banging them on the sidewalk. None of the bargain-priced pans can match the performance of the editors' favorite, pricey stainless skillet, but some come close.
Review: Moderately Priced 12-Inch Skillets, Editors of Cook's Illustrated, Dec. 1, 2012
2. Amazon.com
Review Credibility: Good We found more than 110 reviews for the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12-Inch Skillet at Amazon.com, with an overall rating of 4.3 stars out of 5. Owners say this pan is solidly built and distributes heat well. Most agree that it cleans up easily with the right cleanser. We did see quite a few complaints that food sticks to the pan (a common problem with stainless cookware), though some say the right technique fixes this problem. Another common complaint is that the pan bottom bulges, so it will not sit level on the burner.

Buckeye's CEO Presents At UBS Global Paper & Forest Products Conference (Transcript)
And then real quick, we'll go to the next one. This is our agenda. This is what I plan to talk about today with you. As you can see particularly if you are familiar with, if you are not familiar with us. We have made some excellent progress over the last few years, growing our sales, our EBITDA and earnings per share.
We've been generating returns well above our cost-to-capital and we continue to generate strong fee cash flow. The bulk of our free cash flow has been used to reduce our net debt and today our net debt is close to zero. We are clearly under leveraged and positioned, and this has position us to take advantage of investment opportunities.
Our CapEx has increased significantly as we work on high rated return projects, it also enables us to look at complimentary acquisitions and return cash to shareholders through the combination of dividends and share repurchases.
Reflecting that, we initiated our first dividend in Buckeye's history on August of 2010 and we have raised it four times since then and have repurchased over 3% of our stock outstanding during fiscal year 2012.
Despite our strong performance, our stock trades at lower EBITDA multiples in the average paper company. Analysts compare us to other paper companies most of which we have little in common world. Looking at our margins, our return on invested capital and product mix all of which I will be discussing. We are much closer to our financial and product characteristic in specialty chemical companies, which trade at much high multiples. Many of our customers are chemical companies. Our major product, high-purity pulp is a chemical product. Now let me explain our products and results, so if you can understand us better and view us properly, after that I will discuss our vision and how we are positioned to continue to generate increased shareholder value.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Homeless and Housing Resource Network contributing writer Susan Milstrey Wells shares her observations about the stark contrast between the opulence of Las Vegas, its citizens who are homeless, and her uneasiness about how to respond.
I recently returned from attending a conference in Las Vegas. It was my first trip to the aptly named Sin City, where every manner of decadent behavior is on display 24/7. It didn't take me long to discover that Las Vegas isn't my kind of town. I don't drink, smoke, or gamble. I do love to shop, but the prices in Vegas are eye-popping. You can spend $400 to $800 a day on a pool cabana, complete with television and a private cocktail waitress. Or you can order a $1,000 sundae covered in 23K edible gold leaf served with an 18K gold spoon. You get to keep the spoon.But you don't have to look far, amid the opulence and the excess, to find the sadder, seamier side of Vegas. On every overpass, street corner, and grand entrance to an even grander hotel and casino are people whose luck has run out. People who are homeless in Las Vegas are in stark contrast to their surroundings. I've been in major cities—New York; Washington, DC; San Francisco. I've seen people who are homeless. But this time they really got to me.After 25 years of writing about homelessness, I know that giving money to people I see on the streets isn't a good idea. But I wanted to help. I wanted to give twice what he was asking to the man whose sign read, "Girlfriend locked in pay toilet; need 50 cents to free her." I thought his creativity surely was worth $1. Or the man whose sign said simply, "Trust me, this sucks." Undoubtedly his honesty was worth some help. I kept my wallet closed, but I couldn't get these people out of my mind. And a little bit of research revealed that I was only seeing the tip of the iceberg. According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) 2012 Point-in-Time Estimates of Homelessness, Las Vegas has the fifth largest number of homeless people in the country, at more than 8,700. Nearly 65 percent of these individuals are unsheltered, but many of them you never see. In his book Beneath the Neon: Life and Death in the Tunnels of Las Vegas, author Matthew O'Brien tells the story of people who live in the tunnels under the Las Vegas strip. Built to protect the desert from flash floods, they are now home to people like Steve, who moved underground after a drug problem left him homeless. Profiled by ABC's Nightline program in 2009, Steve said he got clean when he met his fiancée, Katherine. Steve and Katherine slept by day—under Caesars Palace, where my room cost $200 a night. They played the slots in the evening, sometimes earning as much as $50 a day.But the casinos are always the big winners. According to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, in the first two months of this year alone, gaming revenue on the Las Vegas Strip was $1.2 billion. In 2012, the average visitor stayed three nights and wagered $485. This is in a city where the per capita annual income (in 2011 dollars) was $26,755 and 15 percent of residents live below the poverty line.Perhaps things are getting better. In 2006, Las Vegas enacted its 10-year plan to end homelessness. And the city saw the third largest decrease in homelessness between 2011 and 2012, according to HUD. Clearly, I don't have any answers. And I'm not pure of heart. While in Vegas, I luxuriated in a bathroom that was as big as my bedroom back home. I fell in love with a $400 purse that I almost bought. But I wish I'd given a dollar, or maybe two, to the man who needed to free his girlfriend from the restroom. Mostly, I wish I'd had the courage, and the humanity, to look him in the eye and smile. Interested in being a HRC Guest Blogger? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Homeless and Housing Resource Network contributing writer Melissa Cogswell shares her personal experience with mental illness—her struggles, her strength, and her realization that having a diagnosis does not mean that you are the diagnosis.
I have bipolar disorder. It has taken me ten years, numerous doctors and therapists, many medications, countless relationships, and too many cycles through mania and depression to count (or even remember) to realize that I HAVE bipolar, not that I AM bipolar. I was first diagnosed when I was nineteen. I was informed that I was bipolar and that if I wasn't heavily medicated, I would kill myself. It felt like a death sentence; at least if I committed suicide, I would have some level of control. After I began the medications, I went from being a driven, curious, academically inclined person to a lump that slept twenty hours a day. I couldn't read; I couldn't think; I could barely focus to watch a 30-minute sitcom on TV. I knew that I couldn't handle a life I wasn't living, so I stopped seeing the doctor. I stopped taking the medications. I began to self-medicate. I spent years cycling through mania and depression, occasionally seeking help from a doctor whose first inclination was to medicate me. No one wanted to hear what I wanted. I felt that, because I was ill, what I wanted didn't matter. The doctors "knew" what was best for me. I had to obey or not receive treatment. I opted not to seek treatment. In the summer of 2008, I found myself in the emergency room after being sexually assaulted. I was manic and I was scared. I asked for a doctor and I asked for medication; both were provided to me. I immediately liked Dr. S. She wanted to hear how I felt and not just prescribe me drugs. She listened to me. She didn't just want to talk about my illness. In her office I talked about my hopes, my dreams, my goals, and my relationships. In her office I realized that I wasn't my illness. My illness was, and always will be, a part of me, but it does not define me. After several months working with Dr. S and taking medication I realized that it was not what I wanted. The drugs kept me from cycling, dulled my thinking, and had other impacts on my life that I wasn't comfortable with. With trepidation, I asked her if we could begin to work towards managing my illness without medication. After listening to me explain how I felt I could manage my illness with the coping skills we had identified in our time together, she readily agreed. She understood that this was my life and my illness, and it was her job to help me implement the choices that I felt were best for me. Dr. S. helped me understand that I am not bipolar, but instead that I have bipolar disorder. She was the first doctor I worked with who understood that I was not my illness; that I had my own hopes, dreams, and goals; and, just like people without mental illness, I am allowed to decide what is best for me.

Donna Wilbur collaborates with Homeless and Housing Resource Network writer Wendy Grace Evans-Dittmer to share her personal recovery experience. In this blog, Donna recounts how, with the support she received along the way, she can now "Look People in the Eye."
I work at the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University as a teacher. At first, I volunteered to teach a typing class. As I received positive reviews, I slowly began to fill in for other teachers who were out on leave or taking time off. After three years, I was offered the opportunity to teach a number of courses, including a computer course, Social Security Income courses, and a Navigating Recovery course that is comparable to developing a Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP). The Navigating Recovery course was comprised of developing an understanding of fitness, as well as learning the importance of connectedness and wellness. While I don't like to disclose on a regular basis, I choose to disclose when it will be beneficial because I believe that disability needs to be valued. I was trained by Marilyn Copeland in Vermont and have worked at the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation for 13 years. Currently, I live and work as the House Manager at a women's lodging house. All of the women in the house have psychiatric symptoms. They all work in professional careers and choose to live in the house where they receive support for their demanding lives. I have a third job working with a young adult man who has severe disabilities, which include hearing voices, obsessive compulsive disorder, and paranoid delusions.I had my own darkest days before I entered the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation's Training for the Future course and began my recovery. I never thought that I could finish the program, but my father and my best friend supported me through this time. Prior to entering the program I had been on disability for ten years, had posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, suffered from bipolar disorder, and was receiving trauma therapy. It was through my therapy that I learned of Bessel Van der Kolk's work at The Trauma Center in Boston. I went through several hospitalizations prior to enrolling in Training for the Future, but eventually completed my B.S.W. at Bridgewater State College with assistance from Massachusetts Rehabilitation, who helped me with the cost of books and transportation. Additionally, they paid for half of the cost of enrolling in Training for the Future, while Social Security, through the PASS program, covered the other half. I use much of this training at the Center now. With the aid of a service dog—a miniature, wire-haired dachshund—I am able to get out of bed in the morning; she helps me not to disassociate. Lee Walmack, a mentor, once said when I thought I could not finish my program, "I hope you dance." When I think of where I am today, and where I have been, I know that I am able to dance. At that time I had no confidence, but by the end I could look people in the eye. I had hope.Interested in being a HRC Guest Blogger? Email us at email@example.com.

Homeless and Housing Resource Network writer Rachael R. Kenney recently volunteered for Denver's annual point-in-time homeless count. In this blog, she recounts her experience and the important lessons she learned when she asked, "Where did you sleep last night?"
Did I really want to do this again? Two years ago I volunteered for Denver's homeless count. I was stationed in an administrative building and the staff were all in a training that day so my volunteer partner and I only handed out one survey for the entire four-hour shift. I longed for my experience at the Boston count a few years prior, where volunteers take to the street on foot and in vehicles. We didn't see anyone then, either, but at least it was a change of scenery. But I've been meaning to get more involved locally and they say that the best time is the present, so I signed up. I was pleasantly surprised.
We set up at a folding table in the hallway of an administrative building. Instead of us playing the role of eager young salespeople, nearly everyone who passed approached us to ask what we were up to. My partners and I would explain the homeless count and, much to my surprise, the person would usually sit down to talk with us, including: the nervous man who I was certain would say that he had housing—he didn't; the young woman whose daughter was bouncing in her stroller—I wondered if offering her fruit snacks was a good idea; and the smiling young man whose son wore sweatpants and sweet little sneakers.
There were two people who stood out and tugged at my heart. The first was an elderly woman who was hearing impaired and didn't have hearing aids. I'm hearing impaired and the thought of going without aids is scary, even just "thank you, please come again" can spiral into a stressful experience. Rather than read her the survey like we were trained to do, we handed it to her to fill out on her own. She told us about her day as she carefully checked off the boxes. When she reached the end she couldn't remember what city she was in the night before and began to cry. I wanted so badly to walk around the table and hug her, but I didn't think that was appropriate and I just sat there.
The second person was a man in his mid-30s. His sly smile and lanky gait reminded me of a goofy friend on a sitcom. He told us that he was supposed to check into detox that morning but he wasn't clean so he needed to wait. It amazes me that, even though I've worked so hard to break down my stereotypes, it still knocks me off guard when someone is high and communicates so well; these beliefs are such a deep part of our psyches. He made an inappropriate joke; we all laughed. He was trying to get clean to be with his family; we all cried inside. He seemed genuine about wanting to change. We rooted for him as he strolled out into the cold and hoped that we were right.
Almost everyone I spoke to that day fit somewhere on the spectrum of homelessness. I reflected on the fact that I was only two miles from home in an affluent town that doesn't seem to know poverty, yet here I was, surrounded by it. These were people who I wouldn't give a second thought to if they were in line behind me in the grocery store or strolling past as I walked the dog. The afternoon was a stark reminder of the importance of open mindedness, of providing a spectrum of services, and of how important it is to ask the question, "Where did you sleep last night?"

Homeless and Housing Resource Network writer Katy Hanlon recently trained to become a Certified Peer Specialist. In this blog, she and fellow writer Wendy Grace Evans-Dittmer collaborate to share her experience.
I have not always had a voice.At the first of nine eight-hour classes to become a Certified Peer Specialist I met a Marine veteran. He introduced himself to me and expressed his thoughts on mental health recovery. He had applied to the program three times before being accepted, but never gave up. That impressed me—his conviction. We developed a friendship that was part of a larger community. I drove him home from class every week. I was connecting with someone I would not normally have the opportunity to meet. This tied back to our classes, where one of the things I learned was the value of difference. Peer Specialists, united in recovery, are all coming from unique places; this is an asset to the profession.The Certified Peer Specialist (CPS) course I am taking is provided by The Transformation Center of Boston and funded by the Massachusetts Department of Mental Health. It is the only certifying program in the state. I initially took this peer-run course because I wanted to gain knowledge and experience to contribute to my work on SAMHSA's Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) initiative. I soon realized my strong desire to also give back to the peer community that has given me so much. Recovery is difficult to define because its path is determined by the individual. With input from the community, SAMHSA offers a working definition that encompasses the four basic tenets: health, home, purpose, and community. Supporting the importance of community is the term peer itself. It is not possible to be a peer or a peer specialist in isolation. There must always be mutuality. Not all states have certification programs for peer specialists and there is no national listing of programs. Georgia started their program in 2001 with the Georgia Certified Peer Specialist Project and they are key program contributors as other states look at certification. While there continues to be discussion about whether the certification process removes the "peerness" in peers, there are efforts underway to develop a set of national standards. The International Association of Peer Supporters, formerly The National Association of Peer Specialists, is bringing its voice to the table and BRSS TACS will offer a recovery framework. These efforts will be key as states continue to broaden Medicaid funding for CPS services.Prior to learning about the Peer Recovery Movement, its historical context, and the opportunity to become a CPS, I experienced all of the traditional paths of treatment. My acceptance to the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation's Training for the Future program changed my perspective as it introduced me to the concept of recovery, peers, and hope for the future. Yes, hope. I gained so much from my peers that I wanted to give back by sharing my own recovery story, which will always be a work in progress. As part of the nine classes, we had a three-day retreat. Each day focused on specific modules of the curriculum developed by The Transformation Center. All of the modules supported the foundation of a CPS: Peer Support, "In" but not "Of" the system, and Change Agent. This retreat not only brought our class of 26 together, but by example gave me a sense of empowerment and purpose. I have a voice now.To find out if there is a Certified Peer Specialist training near you, reach out to local community-based Recovery Learning Communities, State Department of Mental Health, organizations such as The Transformation Center and New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS), or projects such as the Georgia Certified Peer Specialist Project.

Homeless and Housing Resource Network writer Wendy Grace Evans-Dittmer recently had the opportunity to testify on a hate crimes bill in the state of New Mexico. If passed, this bill will elevate crimes against people who are homeless to the status of hate crimes. In this blog, she recounts her experience.Eloise goes to the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Wendy goes to the legislature in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Several weeks ago, Senator Elect Bill O'Neill asked me to testify for a hate crimes bill to protect people experiencing homelessness. I testified on another homelessness matter for the Senator Elect in the past and was immediately happy to participate. Emails back and forth, as well as my experience covering Maryland's passing of a homeless hate crimes bill, helped develop our plan for the testimony. I spoke with Michael Stoops of the National Coalition for the Homeless for additional information, including how to field questions we might receive from the sub-committee.While all physical assault is a crime, a "hate crime" is prosecuted more seriously. A hate crime is a crime that is motivated by prejudice towards a minority. Congress' definition of a hate crime includes: "criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual orientation." If passed, the bill that Senator O'Neill and I testified for would add New Mexico to the list of states that include homelessness in their hate crime legislation. I entered the Capitol building in search of Room 307. It was difficult not to meander through the majestic halls, but instead I raced to the third floor. Senator Elect O'Neill had begun his testimony and beckoned me to take a place beside him. My role was to explain that people who misunderstand "the homeless" misunderstand that they are simply human beings without a home. Homelessness is a state of being. Someone you might see on the street is someone else's brother, sister, mother, father, or child. I stated gruesome statistics about the beatings, burnings, and even decapitations of 880 individuals experiencing homelessness in 46 states over the course of ten years.Senator Elect O'Neill shared the story of a man experiencing homelessness that he knew personally. This man was the victim of what would be a "hate crime" if this bill is passed. Father Rusty Smith, a giant of a man and the Director of St. Martin's, a "hospitality center" located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, testified as well. He knew of a young man who lived with his parents, had a job, a car, and lived with mental illness. His parents died suddenly and he lost everything, only to wind up under a bridge. Young boys attacked him, relentlessly stabbing him 20 times. While the man who was living under the bridge survived, his story embodies the kind of hatred-fueled attack that skip the daily lives of the average citizen.The subcommittee voted to take the bill to a vote for an endorsement the following day. Wendy returned to the Capitol and witnessed the political process: a machine at work. In this case, the machine returned an almost unanimous endorsement, save one abstention. The bill will now go to the legislature. We will testify again, and potentially a third time, if fortune shines through the windows of the legislative hallways.

Amy SooHoo recently began working with SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network (HHRN), coming to this position after two years of providing outreach services in Boston, Massachusetts with the Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program. Here, she reflects on how her past experiences in outreach influence her work today.
What gives a day meaning? This can vary from person to person, day to day, and year to year. For me, I find meaning in simple moments—in the time I share with friends and family, reading a good book, and going for an evening run. But most importantly, I find meaning in my work.
In my prior position as a Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) outreach worker, I didn't have to look far for meaning in my day—the direct service aspect of that position ensured it. My days were spent in conversation with those experiencing homelessness. I worked to plant seeds of hope and change, wanting others to believe that their future could be different. At the end of the day, I could reflect on what had meaning for me that day, how the tiny part of the world with which I had interacted was different because of my actions. I could reflect on taking a young woman to apply for food stamps, and how she'd now be able to buy food because of that. I could think of visiting a client at his new apartment, the smile on his face, and the long road leading to that moment. I could recall a counseling session in which a woman shared a piece of her struggle and painful past, allowing me to bear witness to her story, and think of the ways that her story had changed me.
I've recently done a bit of a 180-degree turn. I left my position as a PATH outreach worker and began a new position working primarily with the PATH program at the national level with SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network (HHRN). It's an entirely new perspective on the PATH program, and my time spent as an outreach worker informs my work in important ways. HHRN works to provide support and training and technical assistance to SAMHSA's homeless program grantees, and accomplishes this by offering various resources, trainings, webinars, and consultations.
As a PATH outreach worker, I didn't give much thought to the work that went into the PATH program—I was simply grateful that my position existed, and that I had the tools and resources I needed to do my job. I entered data about my clients, but didn't really consider what that meant or how it would be used. I went to trainings and read articles, but didn't think about the work involved with planning an effective training, or in writing an informative and relevant article.
In my new position, I witness the incredible amount of work that goes into ensuring that the PATH program provides effective services. I am grateful to have opportunities to apply what I learned as an outreach worker to the work that occurs on the national level. I find that I am constantly coming back to my time as an outreach worker, trying to determine how a potential change or new policy might affect the services being offered on the ground. I think about what was most challenging to me when I was working in the field, and if there's anything that can be done to address these challenges.
At the end of the day, the meaning of my work has not changed. I still strive to improve the lives of those experiencing homelessness, and I know that while my current work does not generally have a direct effect on this population, it indirectly affects these individuals in powerful ways. This is what matters most to me, and what gives my days meaning.

Marcella Maguire, Ph.D., of the Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) and partner in the Journey of Hope project in Philadelphia, has worked in recovery outreach programs for many years. Her work with Journey of Hope demonstrates a commitment to a recovery-focused system that provides support for long-term recovery and enhanced quality of personal and family life. This is a significant change from acute serial episodes of brief stabilization, and requires cooperation across many levels of service, family, and community. In her own words, she explains how the city of Philadelphia is ending homelessness, one person at a time.
Some questions are so simple and yet so complex at exactly the same time. "How do we end homelessness in this county?" is exactly that type of question. The simple answer is that housing ends homelessness. It's that simple. It's exactly that simple answer that Philadelphia's Mayor Michael Nutter decided upon when he took office in January 2008 and decided to make ending street homelessness a priority for the City of Brotherly Love.
When we began the program we had no idea how it would work. The initial thought was that 200 people a year could come off the street, receive vouchers, and leave homelessness. But we knew people need supportive services and it is challenging to determine which supportive services are necessary for someone who is still living on the street. Limited resources make service matching important; you never want to give someone more services than they need because someone else needs them, too. On the flipside, you never want to give people too little services because that may set them up for failure. People experiencing chronic homelessness often have many failures in their lives. One more is not necessary.
BL had been living in the downtown train station for over five years. She lived on and off in the shelter system for three years before that. She had some mild mental health issues that life on the street made much worse. Over the winter, she used one of the winter overnight cafes, which are Philadelphia's version of an overnight drop-in center. The cafe system gives people a warm dry place to sleep and engage with needed services in the morning. She made a good connection with staff at the cafe and they believed she would be successful in her own place with a voucher and a little support. She engaged with a case manager and began the housing process. Her unit was inspected twice before it passed and both delays made her ask the question, would she really receive housing? Eventually, before winter ended, she was able to move in and leave the train station. She still visits friends who remain and advocates for them, but she returns home every night.
We utilized Medicaid-funded supportive services of targeted case management, drug and alcohol case management, and peer supports. Openings that were created in homeless programming were held solely for people with a documented history of street homelessness.
Over three and a half years, my team of committed professionals helped move 587 people out of homeless programming and into their own apartments. Participants were required to participate in supportive services for at least one year prior to their lease being up and had to sign a document agreeing to that fact. Perhaps most importantly, everyone received an individualized recovery plan that matched their needs and desires, rather than a one size fits all approach. As such, the project had fewer participants who disengaged from services and we believe this increased our success rate tremendously. We implemented a monthly feedback form to check in and track housing outcomes such as paying rent, adhering to the terms of their lease, etc. If participants were experiencing challenges there was a process of reevaluating supports to assist them in maintaining their housing and recovery.
As of May 2012, 534 of the 587 remain leased, for a 91 percent housing retention rate. Of those leased, 82 percent have been leased up for at least 12 months. Many have been able to re-enter the work force and a number of them are now employed by the administrative system or provider agencies. Nothing makes this work more worthwhile than being able to organize and plan services with colleagues who have moved beyond their life on the street, engaged with their recovery, and are now giving back to the City of Brotherly Love.

As a deputy project director for SAMHSA's Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy, I sometimes find myself feeling removed from the day-to-day work performed by my colleagues providing direct service to those individuals who must cope with, and exist through, the challenges that arise from mental health and/or addiction issues.
This is challenging for me. I am a person with lived experience whose life dramatically changed for the better because of interaction with direct service providers. I've also done my share of service delivery and know firsthand that the real experts are those sitting across from me, hoping that I will be able to provide the answers that will assist in guiding them out of homelessness and into a better life. Truth be told, the best answers for that assistance often come from the individuals themselves. As a direct service provider, my job was simply to reflect what people already knew back to them in a way that reinforced and validated their own knowledge. The people I worked with taught me far more than I could teach them.
So, it is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I greet any occasion to reconnect with direct service providers so that I may learn, refresh my understanding, and share in the joys and the challenges of the work they do and I am passionate about.
Recently, I had this opportunity as organizer of a SAMHSA Homeless and Housing Resource Network (HHRN) webinar, "Increasing Consumer Involvement in Planning, Implementing, and Assessing Homeless Programs." Three direct service providers shared perspectives on operationalizing their work as Peer Specialist, Recovery Coach, and Tenant Advisory Board Consumer Specialist.
Each presenter articulated not just the standard information concerning the roles of these specialties but, more importantly, their motivation for—and their understanding of—the raison d'etre of each position. As peers who entered their professional roles with a desire to serve and "give back" to their communities, the insight and perspective they shared offered a deeper, more personalized sense of the responsibilities the titles carry, as well as the intense level of commitment each of them bring to the role.
Their passion and commitment came through in dramatic fashion as the presenters completed the discussion portion of the webinar and began answering questions posed by the audience. I felt pride—and a twinge of envy—as I listened to their personal stories of engagement; of working side by side with those individuals who continue their struggle for housing, for recovery, for hope; and of application of their own lived experience as catalysts for providing, as William White calls it, "experientially credentialed" guidance.
Their responses were potent reminders of the importance of peer contributions in behavioral health, and how essential they are to the field and to the constituency we serve. Peers' additions to the overall treatment protocols established by treatment teams complement clinicians and professionals in a manner that provides insight, balance, and dignity.
The issues of homelessness and the journey of recovery are as complex and unique as the individuals who experience them. The contributions of peers in assisting them and those who endeavor to serve them are important for many reasons. They provide an important perspective for the rest of the team. Furthermore, peers providing direct service stand as a testament to the ability for recovery. They provide hope and inspiration that simply cannot be conveyed by a non-peer. This in no way diminishes the incredible importance of the professionals in the treatment team. Rather, in my opinion, it provides the impetus for the mandatory inclusion of peers in a treatment team construct.

Jay Crowe is the Behavioral Health Program Manager and Clinical Supervisor at Albuquerque's Health Care for the Homeless, which is the recipient of a Grant for the Benefit of Homeless Individuals (GBHI) from the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). Recently, Jay and three other members of his team were selected to participate in an eight-week virtual learning classroom on Trauma-Informed Care. The course is offered by SAMHSA's Homeless and Housing Resource Network technical assistance contract, which supports SAMHSA's homeless programs grantees.
Our Executive Director really believes that having a trauma-informed culture is primary, which means that we must have buy-in from senior management. This is why we selected several managers to take the eight-week virtual learning classroom (VLC) on Trauma-informed Care. Most of my web-based educational experiences have consisted of dialing in, or connecting and watching a slideshow, without ever actually coming face to face with another person taking the course. With the SAMHSA VLC, everyone was on webcams and we were able to see not only the instructors, but the other participants as well. I was able to put faces to names. It is so important to see people's facial expressions when connecting with another person, as it allows you to discern nuances in what they are saying and how they are learning.
One of the most important things I learned is that it is not enough to be only person-centered and client-focused, but that we must also be staff-centered. That really resonated for me. If we have staff who, over time, have been exposed to people who have experienced trauma, then we are likely to have staff who are experiencing vicarious trauma. If we don't take care of ourselves, and if the staff doesn't feel safe, then we cannot ultimately help our clients with their complex trauma in a thoughtful manner.
Currently, we are in the midst of an initiative to become a trauma-informed agency, beginning with making our agency a safe and welcoming environment. This is the first of five dimensions of becoming trauma-informed. One of my main goals is to make sure that we are trauma-informed all the way through the system, meaning that we are staff-centered as well as client-centered because we don't want people to burn out.
And this is not the end; we hope to take this to an even deeper level. Trauma encodes itself within a person's brain—codes that, when triggered, result in flight, fight, or freeze. It is complicated to transform that type of encoding, which is why we are committed to becoming a trauma-informed agency for everyone that walks through our doors, whether they are staff or clients.

We go pick our own strawberries every year for wine at this farm. We also plan to get a turkey from them this year. We considered CSA, but we probably couldn't eat it and the veggies from our own garden.

"The author of a Congressional Research Service study, who found no evidence that tax cuts for high income earners lead to economic growth, is standing by his work, after the legislative branch's nonpartisan research arm withdrew the report under pressure from Republican leaders. And Democratic principals are demanding to know why CRS caved to GOP pressure.
CRS quietly and quickly pulled the six-week old report, despite the wishes of the research arm's economic team, the New York Times reported Thursday. "I wasn't involved in the decision, as a matter of fact I was on vacation when the decision was made, so I can't really add anything to what was reported in the NY Times," Thomas Hungerford, the author of the study, told TPM in an email Thursday afternoon. "However, I certainly stand behind my work." Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI) - the top tax writing Democrat in the House - wants CRS to answer for its decision. "I was deeply disturbed to hear that Mr. Hungerford's report was taken down in response to political pressure from Congressional Republicans who had ideological objections to the report's factual findings and conclusion," Levin wrote in a letter (PDF) to CRS Director Mary Mazanec. "It would be completely inappropriate for CRS to censor one of its analysts simply because participants in the political process found his or her conclusion in conflict with their partisan position. I would like your explanation as to why this report was removed from the CRS website, who made that decision and what considerations led to it." Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-UT) voiced concerns with the study. McConnell's spokesman Don Stewart told the Times that his boss "raised concerns about the methodology and other flaws" and said CRS "decided, on their own, to pull the study pending further review." The Times reported that McConnell objected to CRS' use of the phrases "Bush tax cuts" and "tax cuts for the rich," noting their political connotations. Stewart didn't immediately respond to a request to elaborate on the concerns about the study's methodology. Hatch's spokeswoman Antonia Ferrier told the Times, "There were a lot of problems with the report from a real, legitimate economic analysis perspective. We relayed them to C.R.S. It was a good discussion. We have a good, constructive relationship with them. Then it was pulled." She also didn't immediately return a request to elaborate. Senate Democrats republished the report Thursday. One staffer accused Republicans of seeking to "censor" the study because it challenges their party's economic doctrine. "This is a completely shocking attempt by the Republicans to censor a nonpartisan analysis because they didn't like the findings," a senior Democratic aide told TPM. The study, which TPM and others reported on at the time, delved into the last 65 years of U.S. tax policy - specifically how marginal rates on high incomes and capital gains taxes impact decision-making. It concluded that reducing effective taxes on the rich does not generate economic growth, but that it does correlate with rising income inequality in the short term. The report's conclusions aren't terribly controversial in mainstream economics. snip end quote You mean, trickle down economics doesn't work? Shocked, I tell you, shocked. |

I think that congress has some nerve to commission a study and then to suppress it just because they don't like the conclusion. It's part of this new wave of dishonesty that is propelling republicans these days. As citizens we should all be very angry that the republicans do not want to share this information with their constituents. |

You just have to adopt the attitude that facts are fungible unlike petroleum, not the other way around. |
- Posted by jerzeegirl 9 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 2, 12 at 8:14
This is a really big deal. The central tenet of the republicans economic plan is malarkey! And then the republicans tried to hide the results from the American people (who paid for the report no doubt). Is this okay with you conservatives? |
Yes, I read this yesterday somewhere. Pathetic. I can't wait to see who gets voted out of office on Tuesday when it comes to Congressmen/women and Senators. |

New Mexico created its statewide obesity-prevention efforts from the ground up, starting with one pilot site in Las Cruces. What leaders learned there informed the development of a comprehensive agenda that would be carried out across 40 programs based in eight state agencies. With new funding, the state is rolling the Las Cruces model out into other communities. It's focused on:
- serving healthier meals, snacks and drinks in schools;
- creating joint-use agreements so community members can use school facilities for physical activities;
- making it easier for people to walk and bike to schools, work, shops, and other destinations; and
- getting affordable healthy foods into every neighborhood.

(Hebrew: the strong)
City in Syria, the modern Ghuzzeh, 50 miles southwest of Jerusalem, one of the oldest cities in the world, mentioned in Genesis, 10, and first occupied by the Hevites. One of the five cities of the Philistines, who constantly molested the Jews, when Samson arose and avenged his people; Gaza was the scene of his last triumph and death (Judges, 16). Mentioned in Acts, 8, when the eunuch of Candace, Queen of Ethiopia, returning from Jerusalem where he had gone to worship, met Philip the Deacon and invited him into his chariot, that he might explain the writings of the prophet Isaias as they drove along; Philip "preached unto him Jesus," baptized him at his own request, "and the eunuch went on his way rejoicing."New Catholic Dictionary

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 S 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
This car is good for local driving and that's about it. I don't know where all the good reviews are coming from however my Nissan Cube is terrible driving on the highway if there is wind and I mean terrible. Also wind noise from highway driving is aweful sounds like window is partly open.

A four wheel alignment can cost over $1000 if the rear is out of spec. Nissan Cube has a non adjustable rear axle and Nissan will Not warrant replacement if out of spec. Shims are Not approved. Rotating tires hides the factory problem and shortens tire life.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 S 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
I've owned this car about 6 months now, and I feel I can now make an informed decision on it.
When I was shopping for this vehicle, I considered the Xb, Soul, Fiesta/Mazda 2, Suzuki SX4 and the Matrix/Vibe.
What sold me on this one was the overall value the cube represents.
The vehicle is deceptively big inside. I'm 6'1 and have about 8 inches of headroom.
The interior can swallow a lot of stuff.
The available features for the money are impressive.
Traction control, wheel mounted stereo controls, bluetooth, iPod connectivity.
The car gets fairly decent gas mileage.
The biggest holdup is it's shape.
A brick isn't very aerodynamic.
If I had to do it over, I would buy this car again.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 SL 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Back in October I was given the cube to drive while husband's car being serviced.
When I looked at it I said, "You have got to be kidding!"
Well, after driving it for 36 hours - I was in love!
Traded in my 3 year old Civic and have not regretted it once.
This car makes you happy! Fun, kwirky, economical and smart - this is an under-sung great little but roomy car! Also, it was a real champ in the snow this past winter.
Am thrilled with my gas mileage as well. I average between no less then 31 mpg and up to 35mpg - which did seem to increase after the 3,000 mile mark. In my 40 some years of driving I have never loved a car.
I do now.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 SL 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
After doing some researched, comparing with Scion XB & Kia Soul, I thought I didn't like the shape of the Cube's back/butt, I thought of a bumble bee. But when I test drove it,I couldn't stop thinking about it when I got home. The next day went back to the dealer & decided to purchased the Cube for better gas mileage, design/style, price & lower APR, durability & reliability, I hope-since this is our 1st Nissan (like our 2 other dependable Toyota's)to mention some advantages over the other 2 I considered. I am very happy w/ this car, it feels like I'm driving a small SUV, smooth ride & handling. My son loves to ride it,too as he can recline the back seat.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 S Krom Edition 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Love cube at first sight! I love its unique design wrapped with many glasses! I chose between the sl model and krom. My favorite color is scarlet red but they don't have it in krom edition. Finally, I picked my steel Grey krom edition instead because it's fully loaded. I would say that I made a good decision even though I paid more $ but it comes with push button ignition, rear view monitor, front fascia and grille, & rear roof spoiler, aluminum-trimmed pedals and usb connectivity (iPod�- compatible)! It looks very unique & cute. The cube is so roomy and the performance was better than my old matrix xr esp. The tight turning radius. It's fun to drive with and I got many compliments.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 S 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Visors are too big, they come down to low, blocking most of driver's front windshield view. Have to push all the way back towards window and still it's hard to safely see out. Also they are not wide enough to help block sun through side window except for about 2" of very front area. Coming over Pacheco Pass with grand kids and we had sun directly through front window. Even my teenage grandson had a hard time maneuvering his visor. Plus trying to quickly adjust from front window to side was so dangerous, I almost wrecked into the guard rail a couple of times. I am very uncomfortable with these visors Now we have to find visors to buy that fit and do the job the right way. Anyone else agree?

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 S 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Got my car 5 months ago & have put 13+k miles on it. Great drive and reliable at braking (especially with crazy drivers). I drive from LA to OC everyday. You don't hear any wind noise if you blast on the music when driving on the fwy. Great acceleration but makes noise when going too fast. Get sunglasses (you'll need them!). You'll get used to the window reflections after a while. Nice air conditioning-good thing it has one because you'll need it if you don't like wind noise. Shakes a lot during very hard windy seasons. At first driving, small winds make the car move and shake (you'll get used to that, too). Stay away from road cracks-tire traction grips them all! Back is roomy for lunch naps.

2010 Nissan Cube Wagon 1.8 Base 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
Checked out a couple other makes of cars, saw the cube on the lot and was turned off by it's odd style. Came back to the dealer later, test drove it and FELL IN LOVE! Special ordered a 6 speed as my dealer only had CVT auto transmissions which I didn't want. I have since driven over 3000 miles and LOVE IT! Rides beautifully, comfortable (seats could use a little more support but livable). I have sound deadened the whole car and hence removed the whole interior, this car is a well compact car. Interesting design that everyone looks at twice. I would buy a cube again if I had it to do over!

Measuring the Toyota XB, Hundai Tuson, and Kia Soul for dollars and sense. The Cube came on top for me. If you are seeking 100% Japan made econo utility vehicle with functionality, the Cube is a home run. It s an excellent commuter and can comfortably travel long distances. The wind does become turbulent and feels light in the front end above 80 mph, but what other encono -vehicle doesn't. You drive any 15 to 20 K$ car and tell me it drives like BMW feel at 80 mph. I think people tend to get over critical on value vs. quality. Remember this car was made in Japan for 10 years before coming to the states. It is a small multi-purpose vehicle for 30 mpg on regular. This is a great car for the US
