Painting fences on a farm that teaches farming skills to men rehabilitating from drugs and alcohol doesn't sound like a typical activity for college students on spring break.
Neither does working at a home for boys, from 8-18 years old, teaching them English and playing volleyball, basketball, Frisbee, and soccer with them.
But that is just what a dozen Keuka College students will do as part of the College's annual Alternative Spring Break when they travel to Quesada, Costa Rica March 20-27. These students will not be working on their suntans. They will simply be working—hard.
Hosted by Mary Curtiss Miller '53 and her husband Ralph, and led by Rev. Eric Detar, Keuka College chaplain and director of the Center for Spiritual Life, and Tim White, assistant director of residential life and director of the Success Advocates, the students are part of Alternative Spring Break's first international edition. The Millers have been missionaries in Costa Rica for more than 50 years.
"When Tim and I first began leading Alternative Spring Break trips four years ago, they were seemingly random, but we always found someone, and some way, to help," said Detar. "We are beginning to become more strategic in our trips, and we want to offer four unique experiences throughout a student's years at Keuka College. We hope to offer trips in an urban setting, an environmental setting, a rural setting, and an international trip. During each trip, we will look at culture, stewardship, and poverty of each area we visit."
Junior Faith Garlington is particularly excited about working at the home for boys.
"As an occupational science major, I am interested to see the differences between how the boys play as to how kids in America play," said Garlington, a Boonville resident. "I want to see how and when they reach their milestones in a culture that is different from mine. I am excited to connect what I have learned in the classroom with what I will see."
Katie Crossley, a sophomore unified early childhood education major from Panama, N.Y. chose to participate in Alternative Spring Break because she believes she felt "a calling to go and is exactly where I am supposed to be in my life right now," while Bloomfield resident Jeff Miller says he wants to reorient himself.
"It's so easy to get caught up in your own world and forget that we are more fortunate than a lot of others in the world," said the junior occupational science major. "I am grateful for what I have."
For Lindsay Holmes, a senior occupational science major from West Henrietta, this is her second Alternative Spring Break trip.
"I went on the trip to Washington, DC last year, and experienced the culture of the homeless; it was eye-opening," she said. "I think this will be similar, but on a larger scale."
Emily Grecco, a sophomore psychology major from Waverly and Haley Jordan, a junior occupational science major from Auburn, agree that participating in Alternative Spring Break will be a reality check.
"I will be helping people with something they need, and not just be on another vacation where I am a tourist," said Grecco.
"It's easy to think that that one person can't have much of an impact, but we've seen from past trips that it's not true. I am so glad that I will not be a tourist and that I will get to interact with the people on a greater level," said White.
While the students will not be tourists, they will be able to explore the country through activities such as speeding down a zip line, go horseback riding, swimming in the hot springs of Arenal Volcano, and visiting Sarchi, a quaint painted oxcart village. The group will also participate in worship services at a Methodist Church.
Other students participating include: Emily Pidgeon, a junior social work major from Oneonta; Rachel Guthrie, a junior child and family studies major from North Rose; Ashley Terry, a sophomore political science and history major from Andes; Emily Black, a sophomore political science and history major from Athens, Pa.; Jenny Schafer, a junior occupational science major from Fayetteville; and Patricia Wallace, a senior occupational science major from Bath.
Jamaica, Miami, South Padre Island, and Puerto Vallarta are among the Travel Channel's Top 12 spring break destinations for college students this year.
A destination notably missing is Washington, D.C., probably due to its lack of palm trees and white sand beaches.
But a dozen Keuka College students, who chose to swap suntans for shovels, will travel to the nation's capital April 1-6 to spend spring break helping those in need. The students, along with Eric Detar, College chaplain, and Tim White, resident director for Blyley and Harrington Halls and a retention counselor, are participating in Keuka College's annual Alternative Spring Break.
The Keuka team will work with the Center for Student Missions (CSM), which provides urban missions and service experiences for youth, adult, and family groups.
While working in Washington, the Keuka students will prepare and serve breakfast and lunch to the homeless, assist with an after-school program for elementary school children, help with the construction and renovation of a church, and assist at a senior center day care program.
"Right now, we just know each other by name and maybe a couple of other things," said Detar. "The students who choose to take Alternative Spring Break trips will have a unique shared group experience that no one else will have. By the end of this trip, each of us will be much more than just a face around campus."
Courtney Ray, a junior social work major from Cato, believes the trip will be an eye-opening experience.
"As a social work major, I anticipate working with the kind of people I will work with in my career," she said.
Kaysie Burnett, a junior education major from Shortsville, wanted to go on the Alternative Spring Break "because I have never been to Washington, D.C., and thought a service trip would be a good way to spend spring break."
And while participating in a mission trip may be new to Burnett, helping others is in Nina Fusco's blood. The freshman occupational science major has been practicing social responsibility through her church since she was 13. But since her church closed several months ago, the Mechanicsville resident has been looking for a service project. So, when she heard about the Alternative Spring Break trip, Fusco jumped at the chance.
"Participating in this trip lets me continue doing something I love to do, and I am looking forward to going," said Fusco.
So are Penn Yan resident Alicia Parkhurst, who is pursuing her master's degree in education, and junior Francesca Spina.
Two years ago, Spina, an adolescent social studies major, worked with nine other students at Franciscans for the Poor in Cincinnati, Ohio, for the 2011 edition of Alternative Spring Break.
"I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and it changed my perspective on my life," said the Rochester resident. "It made me realize how blessed I am and how much I can give to others in need. That is way I want to go to Washington and help again."
After the students have performed the day's work, they will have an opportunity for reflection at the Douglas Memorial Methodist Church, and enjoy dinners at ethnic restaurants. Also planned are visits to the National Mall, Lincoln Memorial, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
White expects the Keuka group to be impacted by what they see and do while in Washington.
"The work we will do has been going on for a long time, and will continue after we leave," said White. "We will get a snapshot of what people do every day to help those who need it most. What we get from this trip will be far more that what we give."
Other students participating in Alternative Spring Break include: Robby Magee, a senior adolescent social studies/special education major from Fairport; Megan Russo, a freshman psychology major from Ceaderville, N.J.; Mattie Waldstein, a senior education studies major from Needham, Mass.; Patricia Wallace, a junior occupational science major from Bath; Lindsay Holmes, a junior occupational science major from West Henrietta; Sean Boutin, a sophomore criminology/criminal justice major from Purling; and Niki Chase, a junior social work major from Oneonta.
What do a box of crayons, a bag of pepperoni, Flo of Progressive Insurance fame, a prom-going zombie, the Ball Hall tower, and a fox have in common?
They were all characters who won the annual Halloween costume contest held on the Keuka College campus Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Tracy McFarland, associate vice president for student development, portrayed the crayon box, while Eva Moberg-Sarver, director of student activities; Eric Detar, chaplain; and resident directors (RD) Kevin Perry, Tim White, Rebecca Capek, Margeaux DePrez, and Kelsey Deso posed as the crayons.
McFarland and her colorful crew earned first place in the group category.
Junior Ariel Scott (zombie), an organizational communication major from Unadilla, received the top prize in the scariest category, while the most original prize went to Amanda Burlingame, a senior adolescent mathematics/special education major from Keuka Park, for her portrayal as Flo.
The top costumes in the male and female categories went to Nathan Calabria (the fox), and Jennie Snyder (pepperoni). Calabria and Snyder, part of the D.R.I.V.E. program, earned $30 each for their efforts.
For staff and faculty, a Halloween hat contest with desk-to-desk competition, was held. Human Resources Manager Sue Delyser, earned bragging rights with her 'hat'—the Ball Hall tower.
Each contestant received a gift certificate to the Terrace Café courtesy of AVI Fresh, the College's food service provider.
Keuka College marked the 11th anniversary of 9/11 with a candle-lighting and bell-ringing ceremony at the September 11 Memorial Tree outside Dahlstrom Student Center.
At each time a plane crashed Sept. 11, 2001—8:45 a.m. (North Tower of the World Trade Center); 9:03 a.m. (South Tower of the World Trade Center); 9:43 a.m. (Pentagon); and 10:10 a.m. (Somerset County, Pa.)—the bells in the Ball Hall bell tower rang, and a candle was lit at the base of the tree.
"While it is important never to forget what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, you must also find a way to heal and move on with your life," said College Chaplain Rev. Eric Detar.
Detar was "touched by the number of people at the service last year, and the number of people personally affected by the tragedy. I listened to the stories students, faculty, and staff told of the people they knew who were in the towers, or who should have been there, but for some reason, were not."
Before coming to Keuka in 2009, Detar served as associate pastor at Grace United Methodist Church in Indiana, Pa., and fulfilled the role of campus minister to the students at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP).
"The Shanksville field, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed, is about 45 minutes away from Grace United, and we had a camp—Camp Allegany—that backs up to that field," said Detar. "Camp Allegany was turned into a place where workers stayed and people received help. Tim [White, residence director for Blyley and Harrington Halls] and I have been to the field, and it seems to me that the people on that plane chose that spot specifically in hopes of saving lives on the ground."
The tree, planted last year to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the attacks, also held a vase with one red, one blue, and one white carnation. A plaque by the base of tree reads: "To honor and remember the victims, emergency personnel, and other heroes who died in the attacks on our country."

Housing key for northern economic growth
Shadow housing minister Jack Dromey has said that a new report into the impact of housing on the economy in the north of England shows the value of the sector to economic recovery.
The report by Sheffield Hallam University, commissioned by the Northern Housing Consortium, found that the sector was responsible for sustaining 116,000 full-time jobs.
It further found that housing contributed more than £10 billion annually to the northern economy, with a further £4.6 billion coming from 'gross added value' through such things as repairs and maintenance spending or staff wages.
Ahead of the launch of the report at the House of Commons yesterday (Tuesday), Mr Dromey said: 'From the depression in the 1930s, through rebuilding Britain out of the ashes of war to the action taken by a Labour government in 2008 to get Britain building, house building has always been central to economic recovery.
'This powerful report demonstrates the importance of investment in house building and how housing organisations can be an engine for homes, jobs and growth.'
The report also found that every £1 million of government investment in northern housing creates 51 new jobs.
Jo Boaden, chief executive of the NHC, said: 'Housing organisations already employ as many people in the north as car manufacturing and contact centres combined. The outcome of this study show that housing organisations really are local engines for growth and are capable of generating and sustaining wide economic growth, if supported and funded appropriately.'

NEWS ANALYSIS While we have receiveda working system thatwill advance our managementability ... because the projectwas apparently tainted by fraudand kickback schemes, the citymust be made whole.
Bloomberg said the indictments and alleged criminalactivities are "extremely troubling and raise questionsabout SAIC's corporate responsibility and internalcontrols to prevent and combat fraud."While Bloomberg acknowledged in his letter thatNew York has "received a working system that willadvance our management ability," he added that"because the project was apparently tainted by fraudand kickback schemes, the city must be made whole."Bloomberg said that SAIC must pay roughly$600 million in compensation for the project and that itshould reimburse the city for "the cost of investigatingand remediating this matter."Those indicted include Gerard Denault, SAIC'slead project manager, and Reddy and Padma Allen ofNew Jersey systems integrator TechnoDyne, SAIC'sprimary subcontractor for the New York job. TheAllens and others are alleged to have engaged in anelaborate overbilling and kickback scheme.
TechnoDyne couldn't be reached for comment.
SAIC systems engineer Carl Bell, who designed the payroll software, has pleaded guilty to multiple charges in connection with the project and has agreed to cooperate with investigators.
Federal investigators also alleged that SAIC hadreceived whistleblower complaints about the projectas far back as 2005. According to Bloomberg, "It isunclear what SAIC did at that time to investigatethese serious allegations."In a statement, SAIC said that it "understands andshares the outrage expressed by the city at the fraudalleged on the part of former employees and subcon-tractors. These actions are an affront to everythingwe stand for as a company."SAIC added that it's "ready to discuss appropriate resolution of thismatter, considering the breadth of the fraud alleged and the fact thatSAIC delivered a system that the city said this week is working well."Michael Krigsman, CEO of IT consulting firm Asuret, agreedthat the city should pursue legal options to recover the money itlost due to fraud, but he added that the project "likely suffers fromambiguous lines of management responsibility that will make itdifficult to establish clear audit trails of legal liability."Some 163,000 workers now use the City Time system, com-pared with 73,000 in September 2010, according to the NewYork City comptroller's office. u
Kanaracus is a reporter for the IDG News Service.
CITING ALLEGED "fraud and kickback schemes," New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is demanding that systems integrator SAIC pay the city more than $600 million in reimbursements for a troubled I T project. In 2003, New York awarded SAIC a $63 million contract to modernize the municipal payroll system. Over the next several years, the cost of the project swelled almost tenfold as work on the so-called City Time system stumbled along.
The problems prompted a sweeping federal probe that led to the indictments earlier this year of SAIC employees and contractors in connection with alleged kickback schemes, fraud and other crimes.

Mumbai, Nov 8 Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh says audiences will get to see a "new" Vidya Balan in "Kahaani 2″ as the actress will perform some action scenes in the thriller.
"As per the demand of the role, there will be a lot of action in the sequel. So hopefully, audiences will get to see a new Vidya in 'Kahaani 2′," Ghosh told IANS.
"Not too much, but as per the script, Vidya will have few action scenes in the film. So as the script demands, I had asked her to be in shape. There will be some physical activities that Vidya will have to do in the film," he added.
"Kahaani", shot in Kolkata, came in he beginning of 2012 and was a super hit. The film revolved around Vidya's character, who was in search of her missing husband.
Now Ghosh is working on the script of the second instalment, which will repeat characters from the original.
"The script is not yet ready. We are in the process of developing the script. Once the script is ready, the film will go on the floors next year," he said.
"Few portions will be shot in Kolkata and many of the characters will be repeated," he added.

Ten questions to Ask When Choosing a Financial Advisor For Your Organization
——- From our financial planning help series ———-
You may be considering help from a Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner for a number of reasons, whether it's deciding to get expert investment management advice for your organization, retirement planning ideas for employees, or simply not having the time or expertise to get your organizations finances in order.
Who is the investment decision-maker in your organization?
Sometimes is the director of finance, vice president of finance, board member or in smaller organizations the executive director may also have financial and investment responsibilities.
Whoever it is or whatever your organization's needs, working with a financial planner can be a helpful step in securing your organization's financial future and delegating responsibility to an outside professional.
The following 10 questions will help you interview and evaluate financial planning advisors to find one that's right for your organization. You will want to select a competent, qualified professional with whom you feel comfortable, one whose business style suits your organization's financial planning and asset management needs.
Q What Experience Do You Have?
A Find out how long the planner has been in practice and the number and types of companies with which they have been associated. Ask the planner to briefly describe their work experience and how it relates to their current practice. Choose a financial planner who has experience counseling organizations on financial needs that are important to them.
Q What Are Your Qualifications?
A The term "financial planner" is used by many financial professionals. Ask the planner what qualifies him to offer financial planning advice and whether that person is recognized as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional or CFP® practitioner, a Certified Public Accountant/Personal Financial Specialist (CPA/PFS), or a Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC). Look for a planner who has proven experience in financial planning topics such as insurance, tax planning, investments, business planning or retirement planning. Determine what steps the planner takes to stay current with changes and developments in the financial planning field. If the planner holds a financial planning designation or certification, check on his background with the CFP® Board or other relevant professional organizations.
Q What Services Do You Offer?
A The services a CFP® practitioner offers depend on a number of factors including credentials, licenses and areas of expertise. Generally, financial planners cannot sell insurance or securities products such as mutual funds or stocks without the proper licenses, or give investment advice unless registered with state or Federal authorities. Some planners offer financial planning advice on a range of topics but do not sell financial products. Others may provide advice only in specific areas such as estate planning or on tax matters.
Q What Is Your Approach To Financial Planning?
A Ask the CFP® practitioner about the type of clients and financial situations the firm typically likes to work with. Some planners prefer to develop one plan by bringing together all of your financial goals. Others provide advice on specific areas, as needed. Make sure the planner's viewpoint on investing is not too cautious or overly aggressive for your organization. Some planners require your organization have a certain dollar amount of assets before offering services. Find out if the planner will carry out the financial recommendations developed for you or refer you to others who will do so.
Q Will You Be The Only Person Working With Me?
A The CFP® practitioner may work with you himself or have others in the office assist him. You may want to meet everyone who will be working with you. The planner may work with professionals outside his own practice (such as attorneys, insurance agents or tax specialists) to develop or carry out financial planning recommendations for your organization.
Q How Will I Pay For Your Services?
A As part of your financial planning agreement, the financial planner should clearly tell you in writing how they will be paid for the services to be provided.
Planners can be paid in several ways:
· A salary paid by the company for which the planner works. The planner's employer receives payment from you or others, either in fees or commissions, in order to pay the planner's salary.
· Fees based on an hourly rate, a flat rate, or on a percentage of your organizations assets being managed by the planner.
· Commissions paid by a third party from the products sold to you to carry out the financial planning recommendations. Commissions are usually a percentage of the amount you invest in a product.
· A combination of fees and commissions whereby fees are charged for the amount of work done to develop financial planning recommendations and commissions are received from any products sold. In addition, some planners may offset some portion of the fees you pay if they receive commissions for carrying out their recommendations.
Q How Much Do You Typically Charge?
A While the amount you pay the planner will depend on your particular needs, the financial planner should be able to provide you with an estimate of possible costs based on the work to be performed. Such costs should include the planner's hourly rates or flat fees or the percentage he would receive as commission on products you may purchase as part of the financial planning recommendations.
Q Could Anyone Besides Me Benefit From Your Recommendations?
A Some business relationships or partnerships that a planner has could affect his professional judgment while working with you, inhibiting the planner from acting in your organization's best interest. Ask the planner to provide you with a description of his conflicts of interest in writing. For example, financial planners who sell insurance policies, securities or mutual funds have a business relationship with the companies that provide these financial products. The planner may also have relationships or partnerships that should be disclosed to you, such as business he receives for referring you to an insurance agent, accountant or attorney for implementation of planning suggestions.
Q Have You Ever Been Publicly Disciplined For Unlawful Or Unethical Actions In Your Professional Career?
A Several government and professional regulatory organizations, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the state insurance department, and CFP® Board keep records on the disciplinary history of financial planners and advisers. Ask what organizations the planner is regulated by and contact these groups to conduct a background check. (Click on Check up on Us.) All financial planners who have registered as investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange Commission or state securities agencies, or who are associated with a company that is registered as an investment adviser, must be able to provide you with a disclosure form called Form ADV-Part II.
Q Can I Have It In Writing?
A Ask the planner to provide you with a written agreement that details the services that will be provided. Keep this document in your files for future reference.

No, but because it's old, the patches are less likely to work. Especially with glibc. libxcrypt+pam_unix2 is perfect for systems equipped with PAM since no patching of the libc is necessary. Now, if you don't use PAM, I guess you just have to try the patches. The code being old wasn't my main arguement for using libxcrypt anyway.

Ten years after the Yokohama Conference, held in 1995 at the mid-point of the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction, the international community has demonstrated some results through declarations and agreements, but concrete action has been slow to materialize. The Second World Conference on Disaster Reduction, scheduled for January 2005 in Kobe, Japan, is expected to continue identifying practical and concrete ways to incorporate disaster risk reduction into poverty reduction, development and environmental strategies, and to ensure the continuum from relief to sustainable development.
In preparation for the Conference, PAHO will sponsor a series of preparatory meetings in the Americas to identify gaps that still exist in the disaster mitigation agenda regionwide. This regional analysis will form the basis of the agenda of the Americas on disaster mitigation, which will be presented at the Kobe Conference. Meetings are scheduled to take place in Chile in March; Nicaragua in April and the Caribbean in June. More in coming issues of this Newsletter.

I found this craft from Sweet Paul's Blog. It's simple to make, and a beautiful piece for any room. After you read this post, you should check out all the other amazings posts there too!
Crafty Friday
This craft project was inspired by something almost identical I saw in a fancy shop here in NYC.
It cost almost $500, and I thought to myself, "hey, I can make that".
And so I did!
Start by printing out butterflies.
I found mine online, simply google butterfly prints and millions comes up.
Cut them out.
Hot-glue or super-glue a small branch to a vintage saucer.
Fold the butterflies a little, so they look more alive and simple hot-glue them all to the branches. Place a glass dome over and voila.... You have a very cool objet D'art of your own. (And it didn't cost you $500).

We investigated the relationship between guilt proneness and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) using a diverse sample of employed adults working in a variety of different industries at various levels in their organizations. CWB refers to behaviors that harm or are intended to harm organizations or people in organizations. Guilt proneness is a personality trait characterized by a predisposition to experience negative feelings about personal wrongdoing. CWB was engaged in less frequently by individuals high in guilt proneness compared to those low in guilt proneness, controlling for other known correlates of CWB. CWB was also predicted by gender, age, intention to turnover, interpersonal conflict at work, and negative affect at work. Given the detrimental impact of CWB on people and organizations, it may be wise for employers to consider guilt proneness when making hiring decisions.

At an age when most girls are figuring out boys, algebra and personal fashion statements, Jin Baseman is doing all that -- and training to become one of the top figure skaters in the country. No small task for the girl from Brookline, Mass., but given the obstacles she's surmounted this far, no big deal either.
Baseman, who competes for the prestigious Skating Club of Boston, was born in China's southern province of Jiangxi. For reasons she'll never know, when she was an infant her biological parents left her in a box by the side of the road, not far from an orphanage. Exposed to the elements, she nearly froze to death. When her parents, Deanna and Karen Baseman, adopted her, their only thoughts were for her good health and happiness. That she would blossom into one of the most talented young skaters in the U.S. never crossed their mind.
When Jin was 5, her grandmother took her to a skating arena for the very first time. "I remember how much I loved the smell of the rink," said Baseman (no small irony, since most skaters complain of the Zamboni fumes and poor ventilation). "I knew right away I wanted to be a skater."
Though they knew nothing about the skating world, Deanna and Karen wanted to support their daughter's enthusiasm for the sport, so they enrolled her in the local Learn to Skate program. Baseman's quick improvement led to a few private lessons, competition medals and the eventual realization that skating could be more than just a weekend hobby. A few years ago, Baseman switched coaches to Peter Johansson, a Swedish national champion and coach of some of the sport's biggest stars. Under his tutelage, her skating has reached the next level, leading to her win in last fall's New England Regional Juvenile Girls Free Skate Championships.
"For me, that's been the highlight of my skating so far," said Baseman. "After all I'd been through in the last year, I was really happy with how I skated at regionals."
Facing setbacks
What Baseman went through is something many young athletes face -- just usually not all in the same year. It started with a hairline fracture in her foot last January. When that healed, she was on the ice practicing a new program when a collision with another skater resulted in a serious concussion, and more time away from the ice. "It was really scary," said mom Deanna. "She needed help in school; her ability to focus was gone. It took her weeks to get back to jumping on this ice."
Not long after she resumed normal practice, she slipped in the shower and bruised her femur, which required more time to heal. The final blow came after Baseman won regionals -- another broken ankle. "It happened in practice. I went to pick in for a double lutz, and my ankle rolled," said Baseman. And just like that, there went her shot at competing in this December's junior nationals.
Seeing Jin's determination to stick with skating despite one obstacle after another has reaffirmed for Deanna her daughter's true dedication to the sport. "When you have children, whether they have an aptitude for something or a disability, all you want to do is support them," she said. "You could see with Jin how much skating meant to her. Watching her move past the disappointment of not going to nationals -- I was really proud of the way she handled it."
After weeks of rest and then physical therapy, Baseman is back on the ice. "The hardest part about being injured was being afraid to push myself during practice," she said. "It felt a little like starting over at first." Pushing yourself, she explained, is a necessary part of improving in her sport. "Skating can be physically tough," she said. "You're practicing a lot of hours, and if you want to get better you have to keep going, even when your body gets tired."
A fine line
Pushing her limits as a skater means sometimes missing school (usually gym class) so her parents can drive her to on-ice sessions, and giving up a lot of after-school freedom that other kids her age enjoy. Baseman doesn't seem to mind, but it gives Deanna pause on occasion. "We work really hard to try and make sure she does things outside of skating -- spending time with friends, going to a public school, just living a normal life," Deanna said. "If it were up to Jin, she'd be at the rink all the time, but it's important to have some balance."
After all, she pointed out, despite Baseman's obvious natural talent, she's still only 12. "There are plenty of young, talented skaters who go on to do other things," Deanna said. "I just want Jin to be happy." For now, that means lacing up and cutting her edges on the ice.


text: 5 Excellent Reed - Guaranteedsimon1809 | 29/06/2007 | See all simon1809's reviews (6)Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was the very first in the Harry Potter series that i personally read, before that i was never that interested, however, since tyen i have become almost obsessed as such. During reading the book it felt like i was thrown into a whole new world and i began to imagine this place in my head and what all the characters would look like, bearing in mind i hadn't even seen the films. A lot of the story didn't make sense to me at first though i continued to read and try and make sense of what was happening. after that I went on to read the other books in reading order until i made my way back to this one, suddenly everything made sense and i became hooked, i owe my love of the Harry Potter franchise to this book, and i advise other people to read it also as you a guaranteed a brilliant reed...assuming you reed the books in order of course ;-)Harry Potter returns for his fifth year at hogwarts, however not all is what it seems, nobody belives him that voldemort has returned to power and suddenly they look at him as the enemy, even his best friends, Ron and Hermione havn't replied to his friends all summer. Harry must set about convincing everybody that he is telling the truth to prevent death and destruction at the hands and voldemort and also dig back into his past to find out exactly what it is that makes voldemort want to kill him so much and must once more face his wrath...the begining of the end is near!

You hear this saying all the time, "Preach the gospel…if necessary use words."
You don't have to have the Bible memorized to make a difference in people's lives…it's really just about being a friend.
I'm reading this new book, by Bob Goff it's called Love Does. Full of stories from his life…about acts of love…not telling people that their life is wrong and dragging them to church…(I'm sorry if someone has done that to you). He writes about doing things out of love for others…
I highlighted this passage:
"I'm not that great at spelling and thankfully my phone auto corrects the words I type for me. What I've noticed though is every time I type in the word love, it gets changed to the word "live". It's a reminder to me of something I learned about following Jesus. I learned that fully loving and fully living are not only synonymous, but the kind of life that Jesus invited us to be part of. "
Love Does by Bob Goff
Sometimes I think we put all our self worth based on how many people we have in our life that love us. We feel like life is good when you have a spouse, kids, friends, that love you, but what happens if you loose one or all of those.
I've learned that God's love is more than enough to cover that loss.
You have to go on living.
Thought about that when I saw Marie Tillman in the news yesterday.
She's Pat Tillman's widow. He was the football player that enlisted in the Army after 9-11, and then was killed in Afghanistan by friendly fire.
She's now remarried and had a child. She shared his "just in case" letter that he had left for her before his deployment. She said it ended up being a gift.
It said, "I've asked a great deal of you, therefore it should surprise you little that I have another favor to ask. I ask that you live.''

Dr. Seuss' Alternate Christmas Art
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010To mentally prepare myself for the Christmas season, I have to go through a couple of annual meditative tasks; one of which is watching "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas". So this year, while I was in my meditative state, I began to wonder about the craft of this magnificent tradition. What is behind this wonderful children's Christmas story. Afterwards, while pondering this question, I decided to look up some of the creator's other art. Theodor Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, has some wonderful, provoking pieces in his collection.
There are some excellent pieces there, go check it out!!! Keeping on the tired, old Christmas theme though, here is one of my favorites:
This one, entitled "Prayer for a Child", reminds me a little of Le Petit Prince… or more recently Super Mario Galaxy (a video game for Wii). It also appears as if it has some Van Gogh, Starry Night influences. A print of this baby will set you back $1,695, however it comes with a printed lithograph:
From here on earth,
From my small place
I ask of You
Way out in space:
Please tell all men
In every land
What You and I
Both understand . . .
Please tell all men
That Peace is Good.
That's all
That need be understood
In every world
In Your great sky.
(We understand.
Both You and I.)
There is no disputing, that Dr. Seuss was a master at his craft!

BATON ROUGE - A new audit says the state lost $71 million in taxpayer money on a failed sugar syrup mill in southwest Louisiana.
Legislative Auditor Daryl Purpera's office looked at the building, leasing and selling of the Lacassine mill.
In a report issued Monday, auditors say Louisiana spent $76.7 million on the mill and recouped $5.7 million through its sale in October.
The facility in Jefferson Davis Parish, completed in 2006, was pushed by former Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom as a way to help Louisiana's sugar industry, but it was a failure from the start.
Built for a group of cane farmers, the mill overshot its budget, never yielded the profit Odom projected and was idle for several years before it was sold for scrap.

The Expert View: Serco, Britvic, De La Rue
A round-up of analysts' commentary on shares, also including Keller Group and Vectura.
Leave a comment!
Serco a 'sell' as government prepares to get tough
Outsourcing company Serco (SRP.L) will not see its 'sell' rating budge after a poor 12-month trading update and concerns over punishment from the government, says Cantor.
Cantor analyst Caroline de La Soujeole retained a 'sell' rating and placed a target price of 380p on the shares.
In its pre-close statement Serco confirmed that its full-year numbers 'should not be materially different from previous guidance, which infers to us numbers may come in a bit light of expectations,' said de La Soujeole.
Even more concerning was the likely outcome of the Cabinet Office's investigation into government contracts. It is expected to announce that neither Serco, nor its peer G4S (which remains a 'hold') will be considered for 'significant contracts' in the short term. Government contracts make up 40% of Serco's sales.
'[News articles] suggest that Serco's repayments to the government would be higher than previously suggested,' said de La Soujeole. 'If this press report proves to be accurate, it justifies our cautious stance on G4S and also underpins our belief that there is further bad news to come for Serco.'
Shares fell 27p, or 6%, to 476.6p on Thursday.

Move to plastic banknotes to hit De La Rue
The Bank of England's decision to ditch paper banknotes in favour of plastic polymer will hit secure document specialist De La Rue (DLAR.L).
Numis analyst Charles Pick retained his 'hold' rating and target price of 854p.
He said it remains to be seen whether De La Rue retains the £1 billion contract to print UK banknotes and even if it does the fact that paper banknotes will no longer be required will see some loss of revenue.
'The news that the Bank is to adopt polymer-based banknotes will not be a surprise. What is a surprise is that Innovia Security is to provide the polymer substrate,' said Pick. 'So even if De La Rue retains the £1 billion per annum banknote printing contract it will see some indirect loss of revenue from 2016 as less banknote paper will be progressively required.'
The odds are in De La Rue's favour for keeping the printing contract as 'few parties have the capabilities to undertake such a large banknote print contract and no other commercial printer has expertise at printing both paper and plastic substrates', said Pick.
Shares closed up 16.5p, or 1.8% at 904.5p on Thursday.

Christmas bonus for Vectura target price
Peel Hunt has upgraded biotech firm Vectura's (VEC.L) target price after approval of a new lung drug.
Analyst Stefan Hamil retained his 'buy' rating and increased the target price from 161p to 171p as the approval of AirFluSal in Europe was a Christmas bonus.
AirFluSal is a generic copy of Glaxosmithkline's $8-billion drug Advair – which is an inhaled lung drug. The move suggests a greater reliance on generic programmes, which is when a drugs company makes replicas of drugs whose patents have expired.
Hamil said the approval 'was an upside surprise for the market, which we see as risk-adjusting Vectura's generic programmes more heavily than we are'.
'The increased confidence in Vectura's generic programmes and capabilities drove the shares up to an all-time high of 137p,' said Hamil. 'We see further positive momentum in the months ahead.'
Shares closed up 3.7p, or 2.7%, at 141p on Thursday.

Keller management on track, but face headwinds
Liberum retains its 'hold' rating for ground engineering company Keller Group (KLR.L) following a meeting with management.
Analyst William Shirley has placed a target price of £10.50 on the shares and said they were 'fairly valued' for now.
'Following a detailed meeting with management earlier in the week we leave our forecasts unchanged,' he said. 'Keller has momentum – earnings per share upgraded 38% over the last 12 months – and ongoing recovery potential.'
However, Shirley said there are 'headwinds', including 'benign weather/contract performance drove 'one-off' benefit of £7-8 million in 2013…the completion of major UK and Australia contracts in 2014 leaves a potential hole in 2015'.
Shares closed up 40p, or 3.6% at £11.44 on Thursday.

Britvic will have to work hard to recreate 2013
Soft drinks maker Britvic (BVIC.L) remains a 'hold' for Investec analysts following a 'remarkable 2013'.
The price of shares are set to close 65% ahead and analyst Nicola Mallard has increased the target price to 672p from 600p.
Britvic's decision not to merge with Barr earlier in the year means it is changing its strategy alone but Mallard said if the company delivers against its promises it 'should produce further step changes in margins and profitability in the coming years'.
She said: 'Cost reductions, if delivered and retained, should deliver some decent margin accretion. However, the real test of success will lie in consistently delivering profitable revenue growth, something it has yet to prove.'
Shares closed down 14.5p, or 2p, at 674p on Thursday.

Sony: PS3 disc-drive errors not our faultYou remember those glitches that were occurring for a few people when PS3 Firmware 3.0 was released? The ones that Sony tried to fix with Firmware 3.1? Well, according to Sony, it's no longer a problem with Firmware and if you're one of the unlucky ones who encountered issues, you may very well be up sh*t creek. Following mounting complaints from frustrated users, Eurogamer asked Sony to comment on customer complaints detailing their inability to play a number of Blu-rays on the PS3. All Sony has said in response is that it's "not an issue with the Firmware." Those experiencing problems are being told by customer services to get their ailing machines repaired at a cost they will have to cover themselves if the system is out of warranty. Sony will not say what the problem is, which is a little disconcerting. We'll have to wait and see if this becomes a bigger deal than it currently is. Comments not appearing?

Casey James Debuts 'The Good Life' on 'American Idol'
Fast-rising country star Casey James debuted his new single 'The Good Life' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (April 4), coming back to the place where it all began.
Fast-rising country star Casey James debuted his new single 'The Good Life' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (April 4), coming back to the place where it all began.
Casey James' third single from his self-titled debut album is a pleasing three minutes and five seconds, but the toe-tapper is easy to forget. 'The Good Life' lacks the emotional hook that the best carefree country expressions posses.
Casey James is a pretty good dude. The singer spent the month of November growing out his facial hair in support of No Shave November -- a competition that doubles as a St. Jude Children's Hospital fundraiser. But now that it's December, his gruff beard finally had to go.

Casey James and JB and Moonshine band delivered a high energy show during the Taste of Country Christmas Tour on Friday night in Wichita Falls. Click through to see the photo gallery.
Casey James remains steadfast in his No Shave November commitment. The country newcomer admits that the goodwill effort is one that hits particularly close to home.
You may still be putting the finishing touches on your Halloween costume, but it's not too early to get your tickets to the 2012 Taste of Country Christmas Tour with Casey James and JB and the Moonshine Band.
As a Lonestar newsletter subscriber you have an exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets to the Taste of Country Christmas Tour featuring Casey James and JB and the Moonshine Band before they go on sale to the public!
Casey James will bring fellow Texans JB and the Moonshine Band on the road with him this fall as they make their way to Wichita Falls for the 2012 Taste of Country Christmas Tour!
In his new 'Crying on a Suitcase' music video Casey James makes his acting debut, and he admits he was nervous about it. One would never guess as much after watching the finished treatment for the clip, however, as James plays the part like he smiles or plays his guitar -- naturally.
Luke Bryan proved that he's one of the hottest country artists on the planet last Friday. The 'Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye' singer's fans mopped up Kelleigh Bannen's contingent to make the fourth single from 'Tailgates on Tanlines' the new Showdown champion. He'll face a repeat challenger today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio.
'Crying on a Suitcase' is one of two songs on Casey James' self-titled debut that the singer didn't help write, but the song doesn't suffer from any lack of personal connection. It's a more straightforward, mainstream country song than his previous single 'Let's Don't Call It a Night,' which leaned more toward soul or blues. James' delivery here is appropriately urgent.

The establishment of topographic projections in the developing visual system depends on the spatially and temporally controlled expression of axon guidance molecules. In the developing chick tectum, the graded expression of the repulsive guidance molecule (RGM) has been proposed to be involved in controlling the topography of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axon termination zones along the anteroposterior axis of the tectum. We now show that there are three mouse proteins homologous to chick RGM displaying similar proteolytic processing but exhibiting differential cell-surface targeting by glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchor addition. Two members of this gene family (mRGMa and mRGMb) are expressed in complementary patterns in the nervous system, and mRGMa is expressed prominently in the superior colliculus at the time of anteroposterior targeting of RGC axons. The third member of the family (mRGMc) is expressed almost exclusively in skeletal muscles. Functional studies in the mouse reveal a role for mRGMa in controlling cephalic neural tube closure, thus defining an unexpected role for mRGMa in early embryonic development. In contrast, mRGMa mutant mice did not exhibit defects in anteroposterior targeting of RGC axons to their stereotypic termination zones in the superior colliculus.

Nourishing Soups and Teas - Post #2 : Snow Pear Soup with Almond Seeds and White Fungus
By the Fuss Free chef

Snow Pear is one of the juiciest fruit ever. When you bite into it, the juice literally spurts out. It is also a very cooling fruit. When boiled as a soup together with the right type of herbal ingredients, it is very nourishing especially on the lungs...
