Side Door Tuesdays at Rokbar Promises Anti-South Beach Attitude
Categories: Nightlife
Still, the venue has always made a name for itself by trying to bend the rules a bit of what is expected from a beach establishment. Its hosted live band performances, keggers and art parties. Now Rokbar has alerted of us a new Tuesday night party called Side Door. Launched by the lounge's director of events Sebastian Puga and former co-owner of Bella Rose Keith Paciello, the night promises to be quintessentially anti-South Beach. Going for a more dive bar feel, there will be no bottle service, no door fee and no model/promoter tables.
In fact, the night is as going so far to not use its Collins Avenue entrance. To gain entry, you'll have to use the alleyway entrance in the back -- hence the name Side Door. Also given the boot is the normal Top 40 set list found a most beach clubs. Instead resident DJs Troy Kurtz, Ryan Evans, Johnny the Boy, Damaged Goods and a slew of special guests will be spinning mix of electro, indie-dane and nu-disco, focusing mainly on introducing new and upcoming records.
Party starts tomorrow night. For more information, call 305-674-4397 or visit rokbarmiami.com.

One man is dead and a building caretaker remains hospitalized after a fire at Rose Mall Apartments in Roseville on Saturday.
According to the Roseville Fire Department, a neighbor, a building caretaker, police officers and firefighters all tried to rescue the man but had to stop rescue efforts due to intense smoke and flames.
Crews were alerted to a fire around 5:45 p.m. at the apartment building located at 2200 Pascal St.
When crews arrived they found the caretaker with minor burns and suffering from smoke inhalation from trying to get to the man, who was trapped on the third floor, officials said. The caretaker was taken to the hospital, and remains hospitalized Sunday.
The man was found behind the door of his apartment shortly after the fire was put out. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Two Roseville firefighters suffered minor burns when they tried to rescue the man.
Residents of two other units were displaced because of the damage the fire created and the Red Cross has been assisting them.
The other residents of the 18-unit apartment complex were able to return to their homes.
Authorities have not identified the victims at this time.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Roseville Fire Department and the State Fire Marshall's Office.

Belonging to the Miltassia genus, Miltassia has a botanical name of Miltassia.
This beautiful orchid is a bigeneric hybrid between two South American orchids, Brassia 'Edvah Loo' and Miltonia 'Olmec'. Both are in the Oncidium alliance of the large orchid family. Many orchids are sexually compatible, a characteristic that would often result in plants being lumped together in one genus in other plants. But, because orchids often coevolved with a specific pollinator, the flowers of these sexually compatible plants may be strikingly different in appearance.
This Miltassia is a clumping epiphyte with smooth, thin, foot-long medium green leaves arising from smooth pseudobulbs. In a 6-inch pot plants can grow a foot wide and 16 inches high.
Blooms appear in warm weather, for me usually in June and July. The spikes usually contain six buds that open to 4-inch diameter spidery flowers. The light maroon-tinged, flattened lip is to 1.5-inch long with conspicuous dark maroon spots. Below it are five slender and tapered maroon tepals marked with bands of yellow. Individual flowers remain open for several weeks and, just before they wither away, they do turn reddish.
This orchid hybrid speaks of spiders. The Brassia side of the hybrid has spidery flowers with long, slender 6-inch long tepals that, in nature are pollinated by a wasp called the tarantula hawk. In a splendid example of co-evolutionary mimicry, this 2-inch long, orange-winged wasp sees the orchid flowers as spiders and, in the process of setting up to sting the flower, pushes its head into position to receive a dab of pollen. As the wasp visits other flowers cross-pollination is assured.
But the spidery allusion doesn't end there. The Shelob hybrids are named for the giant and evil spider that J.R.R. Tolkien brings to life high in the mountains on the border of Mordor in his "Lord of the Rings" volumes. A cultivar sold as 'Tolkien,' and certainly a sibling of 'Red Spider,' was hybridized in 1998 and received awards from the American Orchid Society in 2004.
Miltassia grows as an annual/perennial and is an orchid. Being an annual / perennial plant, it tends to grow either as a single season plant, or a plant that can stay in your garden for many years.This plant info is provided by the myfolia gardener's wiki. All details about Miltassia have been kindly provided by our members.
How to grow Miltassia
The Shelob hybrids are vigorous and easy to grow by orchid standards. They are ephyphytic so must be grown in a coarse orchid bark mix. Because the pseudobulbs don't hold much moisture and the roots are fairly slender, the growing media should not be allowed to dry out between waterings. In the summertime, watering once every five to seven days seems adequate.
Fertilize with a liquid solution twice a month during the spring and summer when plants are making active growth. They should have bright light but not direct sun. Too much sunlight, even in the winter, can burn the thin, sword-shaped leaves.
Over winter plants can be kept in a cool greenhouse with nighttime temperatures between 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Or, if kept in the home, give them a bright windowsill location but protect the foliage from sunburn by means of a light curtain liner. Like most orchids, this species can go several years without division. But, when the pot becomes overly crowded with pseudobulbs, divide in the spring just before new growth starts.

Indeed, prior to the quake, Internews had helped to develop a network of forty-one community radio stations (covering approximately 85 percent of the territory outside Port-au-Prince), which raised awareness about issues such gender-based violence, children's rights, and civic education. The rural network, called RAMAK, was not Internews's first priority following the temblor in January, however. As soon as its team arrived, it made contact with Radio One, a station in Port-au-Prince, which was still broadcasting and had national reach, and Signal FM, one of the most popular stations in the city. Within a week, twenty-one FM stations in the capital – in addition to Voice of America and Radio France Internationale – were broadcasting News You Can Use.
Now that a little more than three months have passed since the earthquake, the team is beginning to assess the technical and infrastructure needs of stations inside and outside Port-au-Prince. It is also providing humanitarian reporting training to local journalists.
The daily New You Can Use program continues, with twenty-seven stations typically airing it four to six times a day. Originally distributed by hand via CD, the program is now available for downloading off Internews's Web site and an FTP server. Internews has hired about a dozen Haitian journalists (whose own offices were destroyed or disabled by the quake). One of their first tasks was to conduct street surveys asking locals where they were getting their information and what information they needed, and they continue to report on the evolving recovery and relief effort.
With the start of the rainy season last month, OCHA, the Haitian government, and other relief organizations began the arduous process of registering 700,000 people now living in tent camps all over Port-au-Prince. The goal is to relocate (or at least warn) those at risk from flooding, waterborne disease, and other threats. Internews and other CDAC partners have played in integral role in that process. Radio, television, and text messages have stressed the importance of registering and Haitians could, in turn, text or call members of the humanitarian community with questions and complaints (when Internews set up a text- and call-based feedback system for its radio program soon after arrival it received 800 responses within the first twenty-four hours).
"We've been able to see that we're having an impact," said Mark Frohardt, Internews's vice president for health and humanitarian media. "One of our reporters was passing through one of the camps once evening and saw a man living in a shelter outside of some destroyed homes. The man was taking down his tarpaulin, so our reporter asked him if he was moving. The man said, no, he'd heard that morning on the radio how he needed to retie his tarpaulin so that it wouldn't cave in during the rains."
Until now, the same Internews team has been handling both its own responsibilities and those related to CDAC, but with the grant from OCHA it expects to hire two to three more people and split off a group that will deal exclusively with the latter. Ultimately, both Internews and CDAC would like to turn their Haiti operations over to entirely local staffs. "It's about recognizing that people are agents in their own recovery and that they need to make choices – informed choices," Wall said. "I hope that we will come out of Haiti never having again to make the argument that information matters in a disaster response, and that we will be able to deploy this service, CDAC, again and that it will gradually become a mainstream part of the recovery and relief efforts."
[Clarification: The text of this story was changed to reflect that the Office of Transition Initiatives at USAID has been been Internews's primary funder in recent months, and to reflect that the 9,000 radios it distributed were part of 55,000 total that were provided by the U.S. military.]

A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald | By Errol Morris | Penguin Press | 544 pages | $29.95
Final Vision: The Last Word on Jeffrey MacDonald | By Joe McGinniss | Byliner, Inc. | $2.99
In 1970, 26-year-old Colette MacDonald and her two daughters were found stabbed to death in their Fort Bragg, NC apartment. Colette's husband, 26-year-old Army doctor Jeffrey MacDonald, claimed that a band of hippies, including a girl with long blonde hair and a floppy hat, burst into his apartment and murdered his family. He was acquitted by an Army tribunal, retried by a civilian court, and convicted of murder in 1979. He has spent the last 33 years proclaiming his innocence from a prison cell.
In his new book, A Wilderness of Error, filmmaker Errol Morris sets out to prove that Jeffrey MacDonald is, if not an innocent man, at least a victim of the criminal justice system. Morris is best known for The Thin Blue Line, a documentary that got an innocent man off death row. This September, a New York Times book critic raved that A Wilderness of Error would leave the reader 85 percent convinced of MacDonald's innocence.
In Morris's telling, MacDonald is also a victim of unscrupulous journalism. In 1983 journalist and author Joe McGinniss published Fatal Vision, which would become the definitive popular account of the MacDonald murders. Morris argues that Fatal Vision distorted the facts of the case and poisoned public opinion against the doctor.
MacDonald has every reason to loathe McGinniss. In 1979, MacDonald made McGinniss a full-fledged member of his defense team in exchange for a cut of the book's future profits. McGinnis even lived with MacDonald and his lawyers at a frat house in North Carolina. Over the course of the trial, and during his jailhouse correspondence with MacDonald, McGinniss became convinced that MacDonald was guilty, but he kept telling MacDonald that he thought he was innocent. MacDonald only learned otherwise when Fatal Vision was published.
(Update, 01/08/13: This afternoon, Joe McGinniss left a message on my Facebook page clarifying his original arrangement with Jeffrey MacDonald's defense team. McGinniss writes: "MacDonald's lawyer realized that prosecution could subpoena me during trial and force me to testify about inner workings of defense. Being a journalist did not provide immunity. To eliminate the risk he paid me one dollar and named me 'investigator.' It was a ruse, and not necessary because prosecutors had no interest in me. Obviously, I did no investigating for the defense. My role was clear. But for many years after The Selling of the President, some people thought I'd worked for Nixon. Since I left the Philadelphia Inquirer in 1968, except for a couple of teaching gigs, I've never worked for anyone but myself.")
Last month, McGinniss released an ebook called Final Vision: The Last Word on Jeffrey MacDonald. In it, he summarizes the post-conviction history of what has become the longest-running criminal case in US history and explains why Morris's claims of startling new evidence are really old news. McGinniss scoffs at Morris's claim that Fatal Vision sealed MacDonald's fate, noting that the book came out after the doctor was convicted and that the courts began rejecting MacDonald's appeals before Final Vision saw the light of day.
Read side-by-side, A Wilderness of Error and Final Vision amount to a journalistic sumo match in which two heavyweights grapple for control of the MacDonald narrative. In order to assess Morris's book, we must lay out the case made by the prosecution at trial and reported in Fatal Vision.
Jeffrey MacDonald looked suspicious from the outset. He was in the apartment that night, and he was a Green Beret, trained to kill hand-to-hand. He was barely injured, and injured in ways that could have been self-inflicted, or inflicted by his wife, Colette, in self-defense. His cover story was preposterous. "Drug-crazed hippies killed my family" is "The dog ate my homework" of murder.
Upon closer examination, MacDonald's cover story didn't match the physical evidence at all. For example: He claimed he was attacked in the living room, where he held up his pajama top to ward off the blows of an ice pick-wielding hippie. According to MacDonald, after being clubbed unconscious, he awoke to find the attackers gone and his wife dead on the floor of the master bedroom. MacDonald said he covered his wife with his ripped pajama top before going to check on the girls. Yet investigators found no pajama fibers in the living room—meaning it couldn't have been ripped there, as MacDonald claimed—and lots of pajama fibers and threads in the master bedroom, including several under Colette's body.

FWA reforms: business yearns for more
PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2012 00:07:56 | UPDATED: 08 Aug 2012 08:53:03PUBLISHED: 08 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 08 Aug 2012Rachel Nickless
Reviewers under review . . . the findings of Fair Work Review panellists Michael Moore, left, John Edwards, centre, and Ron McCallum are being debated.
Experts are divided on whether the workplace laws need fundamental reform, but they agree that recommendations by the Fair Work Review panel will have little impact and will not encourage a big take-up of individual flexibility agreements (IFAs).
Employer groups are agitating for reconstructive surgery to Australia's workplace laws, including limiting the matters that can be included in collective agreements, introducing Work Choices-style individual agreements and allowing employers to make greenfields agreements for new projects without negotiating with unions.
However, the review panel rejected these claims last week, finding that the Fair Work Act was generally working well when it came to days lost to strikes, wage growth, flexibility of work patterns and responsiveness of wages to supply and demand.
The panel acknowledged productivity growth had been disappointing but did not blame the Fair Work Act, noting that productivity had been a problem under three separate sets of laws over the past decade.
Workplace law academic Andrew Stewart was not surprised by the review's findings and 53 reform proposals. "I don't think there are big changes here," he said, adding that stronger proposals would have been rejected anyway by a Labor government committed to collective bargaining and an award safety net.
Mr Stewart said that while all parties could benefit from some of the reforms, he was satisfied that the Fair Work Act struck a "reasonable balance overall".
Hall & Willcox partner Karl Rozenbergs was underwhelmed by the proposals. "Unsurprisingly, given the terms of reference of the review, there have been no ground- breaking changes that will significantly impact the ever increasing costs on employers of doing business," he said.
A case in point was the low take-up of IFAs.
The panel – Reserve Bank of Australia board member John Edwards, workplace law professor Ron McCallum and former Federal Court judge Michael Moore – noted that employers and staff had largely ignored IFAs. They rejected employer groups' calls for IFAs which could be offered as a condition of employment and undercut award or agreement provisions, but proposed several changes to make the arrangements more attractive.
These include extending the minimum period for unilateral termination of an IFA from 28 days to 90 days, and allowing an IFA to confer a non-monetary benefit on an employee in exchange for a relatively insignificant financial award benefit.
The panel also recommended inserting a model flexibility term into collective agreements to stop unions or employers narrowing the matters an IFA could cover.
However, Australian Human Resources Institute president Peter Wilson said IFAs were "a dead letter" and would remain a "nonsense" even if the panel's changes became law.
Corrs Chambers Westgarth partner John Tuck said the changes were welcome but did not go far enough to encourage the widespread use of IFAs.
Employers couldn't offer IFAs to new employees, and allowing staff to opt out of an IFA after 90 days would still create difficulties "if you want certainty over a large percentage of your workforce".
Mr Stewart said IFAs were always a "Mickey Mouse" part of the Fair Work Act which, unlike Australian Workplace Agreements under Work Choices laws, did not provide employers with any protection against industrial action or allow for undercutting of award or enterprise agreement pay rates.
Experts said that while the panel's 53 reform proposals reforms fell well short of what employer groups wanted, many of them would work in employers' favour if passed.
These include pressing state and federal governments to establish a national long service leave scheme by 2015, allowing strikes only after enterprise bargaining had commenced, and lowering the bar slightly for employers defending adverse action claims. Other changes would reduce unreasonable unfair dismissal claims.

Why my students asked Obama to play chess with them
It could help keep them and students like them in school.
Norfolk, Va.
Six months of chess in the classroom as a learning platform transformed 40 of my students, many of whom are labeled "underachievers," from victims into victors – at no cost to the taxpayer or school. Now that success is at risk because of the ailing economy.
Too often "private school" is automatically associated with well-heeled students and a posh environment. In reality, many tiny private schools exist to serve students who have been left behind by harsh, large public school classes due to a wide variety of issues ranging from sheer sensitive brilliance to serious family issues. Like many public schools these private schools often struggle to meet the needs of their students.
Our small private school, for example, is little more than four walls; no computers in the classrooms and blue-collar families working multiple jobs to educate their children. Our children come from single-parent families and many students work after school to pay their own tuition. It's the same story at hundreds of schools across the nation.
I teach five totally different classes each day: American government, English composition, British literature, journalism, and creative writing while earning less than $16,000 a year before taxes. I obviously love this job at Ryan Academy High School and find the challenge of pushing students to learn important, to say the least.
While schools nationwide cool their fiscal jets and big businesses retool their corporate jets, teachers everywhere are learning to make educational bricks without straw. To connect with the unique minds in my classes, I had to step out of the box and onto the chess board.
And it worked.

I'll be checking out the paper tomorrow though. As a Ranger fan, I think Alfonseca will get chance over Otsuka if it comes down to that. Alfonseca's got closer experience and he's only given up 2 runs in 8.2 innings. Otsuka's given up 3 runs in 8 innings and doesn't have the experience. Small sample size on era's for this season, but I think it will boil down to experience, and Alfonseca wins that easy.

Dr Whitford has a varied history in geochemical research, particularly in the practical application of trace element and isotope geochemistry.
His early research focused on the petrology and geochemistry of recent island arc volcanic rocks, mostly from Indonesia, directed at developing a better understanding of the geochemical consequences of subduction.
After postdoctoral fellowships in the USA at the Carnegie Institution of Washington and in Canada at the University of British Columbia, he joined CSIRO in 1980 with research focused on the application of trace element and isotope geochemistry to mineral exploration.
He worked extensively on understanding the chemistry of fluid-rock interaction as a basis for the application of lithogeochemistry to exploration for volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposits.
He was also involved with research on using groundwaters as an exploration medium for mineral exploration.
In 1993 Dr Whitford joined the newly formed CSIRO Division of Petroleum Resources, leading a research group on the application of trace element and isotope geochemistry to sedimentary rocks focused mainly on improving the understanding of the timing of basin evolution in order to reduce exploration risk.
His research interests have ranged from studies of sedimentary provenance to sedimentation ages, with a focus on chemostratigraphy and diagenetic histories.
His research group has made major contributions to the practical application of strontium isotope chronostratigraphy to the tertiary carbonates of Papua New Guinea and South-East Asia.
He has also worked on some of the geochemical manifestations of faunal extinction events in the geological record.
Dr Whitford was previously Deputy Chief of CSIRO Petroleum Resources before it merged with CSIRO Exploration and Mining in 2009 to create the division of Earth Science and Resource Engineering.
Dr Whitford was awarded a Bachelor of Science with First Class Honours from the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, in 1972.

Star of Caledonia: Scotland-England landmark plan approved
Councillors have approved plans for the Star of Caledonia public artwork, marking the Scotland-England border at Gretna.
No objections had been lodged to the scheme, designed by Cecil Balmond and Charles Jencks, costing more than £4m.
A Dumfries and Galloway Council report said the aim was to turn crossing the border into a "memorable experience" and raise the area's profile.
Council officers had recommended approval of the scheme with conditions.
For as long as I can remember, crossing the border at Gretna when leaving or returning home has always been a bit of a non-event.
A blink-and-you-miss-it moment of passing from one country to another.
That seems set to change with plans for the spectacular Star of Caledonia landmark now approved by Dumfries and Galloway Council.
It looks like a bold and striking way of marking the transition from England to Scotland or vice-versa.
There is work to be done on raising funds - and some might blanch at the £4m price-tag - but it should eventually make for a much more memorable border-crossing experience.
Mr Balmond's design was selected as the preferred option for the site in July 2011.
The Gretna Landmark Trust is currently in talks with a range of organisations and individuals to raise the funds.
Last year, Creative Scotland awarded the project development funding in order to work up a bid for £1m support from the arts body.
The proposed design stands approximately 130ft (40m) high, which is twice as tall as the Angel of the North near Gateshead.
It will be lit by LEDs at the tips of the structure, but the council has asked for more detail on how much light they will emit as a condition of approval.
The project's creative director, Mr Jencks, said: "Crossing the border to Scotland, across the River Sark, is now a passage obscured under a bridge by cars travelling at speed.
"Instead of marking this with motorway signs, we are using a landform and sculpture that pulls together the adjacent site, the distant hills and the Solway.
"Nestled into the curving mound and springing from it is Cecil Balmond's whirling creation.
"In one sense, it is a scintillating piece of calligraphy seen against the sky which will signify various meanings as you approach it."
Gretna Landmark Trust chairman Alasdair Houston said it was a "remarkable" opportunity for a country to "herald its border".
"The star is a timeless work, which for 365 days a year will be a bold and confident statement of Scotland's innovation and energy," he said.

Rob, I suggest you start reading the web supported English version of Pravda on a daily basis. Since the Ruskies have no vested interesting in supporting our national partyline, it's the best place to get an opposing opinion and ironically the "truth" in the post cold war period. Our media has been totally compromised by globalists with an agenda for us; ie., the dumbing down, along with disinformation to keep us perpetually 'fogged' with trivia.
Pravda means "truth" in Russian.
I also enjoy the "Financial Times" which reports both news and financial coverage. As far local news is concerned I haven't watched such in at least 15 years. What's funny is that if you watch a local episode it's the same old crap as when last viewed, whether x number of months or years ago; ie., murder, weather, fire and local petty politics. Same crap just different players.

They've stood the test of time, handed down from one generation of women to the next. Those age-old beauty commandments—"Thou shalt shampoo daily," "Thou shalt slough away dead skin"—have been faithfully followed for years without question. But did you ever wonder how these universal decrees could possibly apply to all of us? Here, we give you the lowdown from the pros on who really needs to follow these rules and who can—and even should––break them.
Rule 1: Wash Your Hair Every Day
You may be trained to cleanse your mane like clockwork, but you could actually be causing your tresses unneeded distress. "Generally, only women with fine or oily hair need to wash it every day to prevent strands from getting too greasy or weighed down," says Nexxus Creative Director Kevin Mancuso. Those with dry or coarse hair can usually wait a few days before lathering locks, he says, as this helps your scalp's natural moisture rebalance itself and keeps color looking fresher for longer. To keep hair looking clean between washes, try Psssssst Instant Spray Shampoo ($6.99; Drugstore.com), which refreshes strands without water.
Rule 2: Cover Your Entire Face with Foundation
A flawless face doesn't have to mean painting it with a heavy coat of product. Unless you have an allover uneven complexion or acne scars, you can simply cover the areas that need a bit of camouflaging, like undereye circles and the occasional pimple, and leave the rest of your face au naturel, says Stila Pro artist Sarah Lucero. Using a foundation brush, concentrate on the place you want to cover and stipple––which means lightly dab—product into the skin so the formula melts away and your complexion looks uniform, she suggests. For a perfect finish, try Stila's One Step Complexion Brush ($32; Sephora.com), which makes application a cinch.
Rule 3: Cut Your Nail Cuticles
This is a big no-no for just about everyone, says New York dermatologist Heidi Waldorf, MD, Director, Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. "Cuticles protect the nail matrix (where the nail grows) from exposure to bacteria, and the more you cut them, the more you expose your nails to infection," she says. If you have a piece of cuticle sticking out or a jagged edge, then it's OK to snip it. But even in these cases, just the bit of loose skin should be gently clipped, says Dr. Waldorf. The next time you're faced with a nip-happy nail technician, have her push the cuticles back instead. Also, try applying a daily moisturizing cream to keep cuticles hydrated and looking their best. If your cuticles are already in bad shape, mend them with the Maximum Growth Cuticle Pen from Sally Hansen ($6.49; Walgreens.com), which nourishes and moisturizes the area quickly.
Rule 4: Get Your Hair Trimmed Every Six to Eight Weeks
Talk about urban legends––if your hair is healthy, you can go three or more months without needing a trim, says Mancuso. The only women who should abide by this rule are those with short cuts that require maintenance to preserve the style, or women with severe damage from over-bleaching, relaxing or perming hair. Frequent trims aren't going to help your hair grow any faster, since hair grows from the root. But if you have split ends, trims will keep them from splitting all the way up the hair shaft and causing more damage, says Mancuso. To help mend split ends and reduce the frequency of trims, try Nexxus ProMend Split End Binding Overnight Treatment Crème ($17.49; RiteAidOnlineStore.com). The formula strengthens ends to protect against future splits and leaves hair looking vibrant.
Rule 5: Exfoliate Your Face to Get Rid of Dead Skin
For most of us, reclaiming that youthful glow isn't a matter of sloughing off skin. Only women with dry, flaky or sun-damaged skin on their faces need to use an exfoliator, says Dr. Waldorf. "Cell turnover happens naturally and more effectively on its own when skin is in good condition," she says. "Exfoliation can irritate an otherwise healthy complexion." Women with sun damage or extra-dry patches who need an exfoliating boost once or twice a week to help them shed dead, sallow skin should opt for a gentle exfoliating face cleanser, like Olay Professional Pro-X Exfoliating Renewal Cleanser ($19.99; Amazon.com).
Rule 6: Keep Eyeliner Off Your Bottom Lids
The only women who should heed this advice are those with close-set or small eyes, says Lucero, since lining bottom lashes has a tendency to make eyes look even smaller. Contrary to popular belief, the rest of us can rim top and bottom lashes. "Doing so adds more drama, defines the shape of your eyes and creates the illusion of fuller lashes," she says. Powder shadow, applied with an angled brush, has a more subtle effect, while liquid liner lends a smoldering look. For color that won't budge, give Revlon's ColorStay Eyeliner ($6.48; Walmart.com) a go—the waterproof formula will ensure that your look lasts all day long.
Rule 7: Take a Shower Every Day
Cleanliness may be a virtue, but unless you're prone to body odors or have exercised until you're dripping with sweat, you don't have to lather up daily, says Dr. Waldorf. Actually, getting too squeaky-clean can cause your skin to become parched, especially if you're using an antibacterial soap. Furthermore, the dryness from overwashing can create tiny openings, which make your skin more vulnerable to bacteria. A hydrating body wash will replenish moisture while keeping you fresh. Try Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash ($8.99; Drugstore.com) which contains nourishing Nutrium Moisture to help hydrate your skin.
Rule 8: Use Shampoo First, Then Conditioner
Believe it or not, this morning mantra applies only to women with dry or coarse strands. Those with fine or oily hair should actually condition before they shampoo, recommends Mancuso. "This still hydrates and cleans the hair, but it also washes away any excess product that might otherwise weigh hair down," he says. Plus, you're giving those limp locks an added boost of volume. By going the more traditional route and applying conditioner second, you let more moisturizing ingredients remain in the hair, which benefits dry hair. Try L'Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Volume Conditioner ($6.99; available at drugstores nationwide).
Rule 9: Skip Shimmer Shadow if You're Over 40
Not only can shimmery shadow give your eyes their shining moment by making them stand out, these shadows can also detract from fine lines and imperfections by deflecting light away from the eyes, says Lucero. Want to try some shine? Check out Physicians Formula Shimmer Eye Shadow ($9.34; Target.com), which offers a palette of complementary shades. However, if you're tired or have droopy eyelids, opt for matte powder formulas instead—since a shimmery shadow will highlight eyes, it can draw more attention to saggy lids.

From the Ground Up is Kingston's own Award Winning weekly organic veg and fruit food scheme bringing local affordable fresh organic food to the Royal Borough of Kingston. Dissatisfied with the high cost and poor availability of organic food, members of Transition Town Kingston took action and started a not-for-profit, community based food scheme with these principles:
Why our prices are so affordable...From the Ground Up offers exceptional prices to you because we don't hire staff - we are a completely volunteer managed food scheme and maintain a minimal infrastructure by asking our customers to pick up their orders rather than delivering them as other schemes do. If we needed to employ people, purchase and insure vans, buy petrol etc prices would climb, climb, climb. Therefore we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help us with packing customer orders and to pick up their food at one of our two venues: The 1st Kingston Hill Scout Hut on Park Road in North Kingston and the Surbiton YMCA.
And...you do not need to buy a box. In the FGU ONLINE SHOP you can choose as many or few items from a wide selection of certified organic / preservative free fruit and veg, organic breads, honey and preserves - all natural. There is no minimum in amount of money spent or time commitment. We do ask for your assistance now and then to help us stay alive...
Interested? When you register in the FGU ONLINE SHOP, you will receive an email on Monday's late afternoon (unless it is a bank holiday) announcing the opening of the Shop. You have until 2pm Wednesday to make your selection before the Shop closes. The only thing you will need to do is pick up your food at the designated location - couldn't be simpler. For more details on the ordering process and venue location just click here.
Want to help bring affordable organic food to our communities? From the Ground Up has flourished over the last 3 years due to the generosity of our supporters. But we still need more volunteers to keep us going...we welcome all sorts of assistance...please read here for more details on how you can assist From the Ground Up and the benefits you would receive.

Second year in a row, From the Ground Up was recognised with 'Commended' in the Food Retailer Category for SW London and Surrey. What makes it even more special is the award is based on votes from the public. First time lucky, second time THRILLED. Thank you for telling us we are on the right track, bringing affordable local organic food to our communities.
Our wonderful, vibrant pool of volunteers is what keeps FGU alive. Being not-for-profit and working on a shoestring often prove difficult to show just how much we appreciate their help. Starting with the 20 September collection all workers who help prepare customer orders on a Saturday morning will receive £7.50 toward a future order of FGU food. Morning leads will receive a whopping £15. On already below market prices, we are practically giving the food away for free. To volunteer please send us an email.
From the Ground Up is sensitive to the fact that Saturday mornings can just be crazy for some people, making collection at the designated hour difficult. We are happy to provide at both our venue sites a late collection service. Those weeks we are in Kingston, you can pick up your order after 1pm at The Cardinal pub on Tudor Drive. In Surbiton, your food will be waiting for you at the YMCA Cafe - just ask a staff member at either place and they will provide you with your box. Please note: PAYMENT MUST BE MADE BY CHEQUE. If this is not possible, please let us know and we can make other arrangements. Now you can have your organics and eat them too!!

Obviously we are doing something right. Thank you for telling us we are on the right track, bringing affordable local organic food to our communities.
FGU is delighted to have been shortlisted for the Kingston Business Excellence Award for the best Green Business. This award is open to all types of businesses that can best demonstrate how its 'green' and 'sustainability' ethos and practices have positively contributed towards:
The winner will be announced on 24 October.
What are the chances of creating a vegetarian feast with organic ingredients sourced within 10 miles of Kingston, prepared by by ex-chefs from Michelin star 'd Petersham and The River Cafe Restaurants? No Way!!! Impossible!!! ... Guess again...
Come join From the Ground Up and the No 11 Supper Club for a gourmet quality vegetarian meal by the River. Jo, Tito and Kate, all former staff of Michelin star restaurants will be preparing a minimum 3 course gourmet vegetarian meal from ingredients within 10 miles of Kingston...
Mark you diaries for the evening of 13 July 2013 at the Tamesis Sailing Club in Teddington and be prepared for a unique culinary experience. £20 per person for FGU supporters. Please send an email to email@example.com for tickets. Reservations required. Seats are going fast so don't wait too long. Previous events by the No 11 Supper Club have been sell outs.
Beginning 26 January 2013 From the Ground Up will be in its new home on Park Road at the 1st Kingston Hill Scout Hall. Collection is still between 11am - 12 noon. There is ample street parking and it is close to public transport. Please drop by or better lend a hand and help us to continue supplying Central Kingston with affordable, quality organic food. Directions to Park Road are here
From the Ground Up is delighted to announce that starting with the 15th September collection it will be serving its customers from the Surbiton YMCA located at 49 Victoria Road, at the corner near Brighton Road. The YMCA provides FGU an excellent environment in which to continue our service of providing organic food to the Surbiton Community. The new collection hour to pick up your order will be from 11:30 - 12:30. You are also entitled to 2 hours free parking in the car park above the adjoining Sainsburys. From the Ground Up will be at this venue bi-weekly. Alternate Saturdays will find FGU at the Kingston Environment Centre in Central Kingston. This venue replaces our previous home at The Lamb Pub.
Nesteled among the industrial estates in Feltham are approximately 3 acres of vegetation, home to the Hounslow Community Farming Association (HCFA). HCFA is striving to reintroduce horticulture as a way of life in the Hounslow community by providing employment and education opportunities in farming on vacant or under-utilised land. To make it financially sustainable, HCFA sells at farmers markets, to retail outlets and has its own small community box scheme. Currently it is undergoing the conversion process and is following Soil Association guidelines. As such its produce cannot be declared 'organic' until certification is achieved. However, FGU has confidence that their practices are sustainable and in accordance with organic standards.
We are happy to announce that on 26 May, FGU will be supporting HCFA by selling its lush rhubarb in the Shop. Freshly harvested on the day we pick it up, it is another tick in the box for supporting local food growing initiatives. FGU will be selling more from HCFA as the produce becomes available.
Starting 12 May, FGU is delighted to offer in its Shop luscious salads and herbs from Cultivate London - a charity and social enterprise that trains unemployed youth in horticulture on two abandoned lots in Ealing and Hounslow.
Cultivate London has three main objectives:
1) To generate training opportunities and jobs for unemployed young people aged 16-25 in practical horticulture
2) To convert derelict and vacant land across London into productive food growing space
3) To increase the amount of local and organically grown produce consumed by Londoners
We are delighted to support Cultivate London. Please look for salad and herbs labeled with Cultivate London. The quality is superior and we are proud to support such a great initiative.
Ed Davey, visited FGU on 5 May, interested in seeing Kingston's only community veg box scheme in action. He was impressed. What was planned as an hour's visit extended to close to 90 minutes (and he even missed getting a parking ticket). Ed met the FGU team and listened to FGU's ideas for branching out to other communities within the RBK. He even had time for a radio interview with Kingston's Green Radio station 87.9FM. Maybe Ed and family will register and shop with FGU!!!
We understand that people are busy on Saturdays and cannot always commit to as many helping sessions as they would like. We hear you and have changed the guidelines of the From the Ground Up (FGU) Loyalty Scheme to accommodate more people. Effective 5 May, the FGU loyalty scheme will look like this...
1) For each session you have offered your time either in assisting with the preparation of customer orders (3 - 3.5 hours on a Saturday morning) or helped promote FGU at an event, you will receive £2 off your next FGU food order. For most that is a healthy 12 -15% discount. For some, it is a 25 - 30% discount!
2) If you want to step up to the role of Morning Lead (see Get Involved section) you will earn £4 off your next food order...WOW!!
If you are inspired, which we hope, we now have an online sign up rota that should take you no longer than a few minutes to use. The directions for use in the Get Involved section.
From the Ground Up will be two on the 10th of March. Why not kick up our heels and help us celebrate during our Spring / Birthday fete on Thursday evening, 22 March. Come collect your orders at the Kingston Environment Center between 7:30 and 9pm and meet the FGU team as well as John and Mike who supply our natural honey and Igor of Ruben's Bakehouse. To order, please visit our online shop
From the Ground Up will be taking orders on the web through its new online shop. You will be able to register straightaway - just click here to visit the shop and go to 'Register for Account'. If you already registered, then you can just go directly to the shop. If you are having a problem, please send us an email at email@example.com.
If you are a group of people who want to provide affordable organic food to your community of friends, families and / or associates, why not become a hub of From the Ground Up. We can provide the behind the scenes work, you just need to provide the space for packing and collecting orders and people to assist. If you are interested please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com

The trio of piggy-bank porkers is slated to root around Broward and Miami-Dade counties until July 5. The first pig, which represents the $200 billion that Americans have spent razing and rebuilding Iraq, is a Chevy van armored with fleshy pink jowls, ears, and snout. Its clear sides are stuffed with fake cash. Behind it rolls a trailer carrying a smaller, $34 billion pig representing K-12 education spending, and a wee "World Hunger and Poverty" pig worth just $10 billion.
"People can't conceive of $200 billion," Cohen said as he took a break under a tree near Oakland Park Boulevard and NW 21st Avenue. He had just installed a pair of electric signs that he planned to program from Vermont. He looked trim for an ice cream man, with grizzly white stubble, rose-tinted sunglasses, and a T-shirt that read, "Bush is over."
When the pigs' current hostess, an event planner named Hope Gold, returned home, she learned a neighbor had sicced code enforcement on her. A "courtesy notice" on her door ordered her to remove the commercial vehicles from in front of the house.
"It's not a commercial," Cohen protested. "It's the truth."
Gold, who had piloted the pigs around town the previous weekend, recalled her trip to the Sawgrass Hills Mall. "One guy called me a pinko commie, which I thought was perfect," she said.
The next day, she handed the pigs' keys off to Angel Terrell, an affable legal secretary from Miami Beach, who cruised downtown Fort Lauderdale on her way home and invited Tailpipe along for the ride. With loudspeakers blaring piggy sound effects, the effect was cartoonish: Three pigs prowled Las Olas Boulevard, squealing like a barnyard orgy.
Terrell came to a stop on the east side of the canal, where workmen were carving a crater in the street. One man approached the pigs and smiled, displaying bright white, crooked teeth.
"Nice buggy," the workman said.
"Are you registered to vote?" Terrell replied as she handed him a flyer.
"Yeah. Democrat," the man said. "Get that dickhead out."
The middle finger count, in an hour of cruising downtown Fort Lauderdale: a surprising zero. One man in the median of Las Olas hollered: "Vote for Bush!" That was it. The only thing more astonishing than the widespread civility was the number of people who ignored the spectacle altogether, even as it rumbled past, oinking at full volume.
"If you can't notice three giant pigs rolling down the street," Terrell said, "how are you going to notice what's going on?"
The Xerox Man
Octavio Roca's credentials are stunning. The one-time chief dance critic for the San Francisco Chronicle also critiqued theater and music for the for the Washington Post and the Washington Times. He has co-authored at least one book, about opera great Renata Scotto, translated several plays, and even collaborated on a cantata.
So it seemed logical when Enrique Fernandez, Miami Herald features editor, hired him on September 4, 2003 as the paper's arts and culture critic.
But Roca left the paper this week. His description disappared from the Herald website and his byline was no more to be seen in its pages.
The apparent reason: plagiarism.
Check out this piece of a story on Mikhail Baryshnikov that appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle on June 23, 2003: "He did not disappoint his fans. It was even endearing to see how the evening's sole double pirouettes -- dazzlingly youthful, incidentally in the middle of Cesc Gelabert's 2003 dance 'In a Landscape' -- brought out the biggest applause up to that point."
Then this from a piece by Roca in the Herald this past February 27: "He does not disappoint his fans. It is even endearing to see how the program's sole double pirouettes -- dazzlingly youthful, incidentally in the middle of Cesc Gelabert's 2003 dance 'In a Landscape' -- can bring out the biggest applause..."
If that doesn't convince you, check out the lead of this story on choreographer great George Balanchine, which appeared in the Chronicle November 3, 1996: "Ballet is like a rose," George Balanchine once said. "It is beautiful and you admire it, but you don't ask what it means. In the colorful garden of 20th century dance, Balanchine cultivated the American rose: exuberant, bright, optimistic and triumphant."
You guessed it. Looks a lot like Roca's work in the Herald on December 7, 2003, only this time, the critic put it in the third paragraph: " 'Ballet is like a rose,' Balanchine once famously said. 'It is beautiful and you admire it, but you don't ask what it means. In the colorful garden of 20th century dance, Balanchine cultivated the American rose: exuberant, bright, optimistic, and triumphant."

The U.S. Senate race in Ohio got its first debate today before The City Club of Cleveland. As Ideastream's Brian Bull reports, it was often raucous and barbed.
Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown said all Republican challenger Josh Mandel does is "attack, attack, attack."
Mandel said all Brown gives you is "Washington speak."
One feisty exchange was over efforts to regulate the use of coal and force the closing of coal powered utility plants.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a war on coal in this country," declared Mandel. "And while President Obama is the general, Sherrod Brown is his main lieutenant."
Brown denied that such a war existed, and said the coal industry has actually thrived during his Senate term.
"There are more coal jobs and more coal produced in Ohio than there were five years ago, despite the talking points and the yard signs."
Both candidates accused the other of neglecting the middle class. Two more debates are scheduled later this month.

Kavanagh, Kimberley and Robertson, Christopher and Murdoch, Heather and Crooks, George and McMenamin, Jim (2012) Syndromic surveillance of influenza-like illness in Scotland during the influenza A H1N1v pandemic and beyond. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series A (General), 175 (4). 939–958. ISSN 0035-9238

Syndromic surveillance refers to the rapid monitoring of syndromic data to highlight and follow outbreaks of infectious diseases, increasing situational awareness. Such systems are based upon statistical models to described routinely collected health data. We describe a working exception reporting system (ERS) currently used in Scotland to monitor calls received to the NHS telephone helpline, NHS24. We demonstrate the utility of the system to describe the time series data from NHS24 both at an aggregated Scotland level and at the individual health board level for two case studies, firstly during the initial phase of the 2009 Influenza A H1N1v and secondly for the emergence of seasonal influenza in each winter season from 2006/07 and 2010/11. In particular, we focus on a localised cluster of infection in the Highland health board and the ability of the system to highlight this outbreak. Caveats of the system, including the effect of media reporting of the pandemic on the results and the associated statistical issues, will be discussed. We discuss the adaptability and timeliness of the system and how this continues to form part of a suite of surveillance used to give early warnings to public health decision makers.

Contact is responsible for as much as 82 percent of the injuries sustained in hockey. The incidence of hockey injuries has also been found to increase dramatically with the age of the player. Between ages 11 and 14, the injury rate is about one per 100 hours of playing time. Players ages 18 to 21 sustain injuries at a rate of one per 11 hours of play and professionals sustain injuries at a rate of one per seven hours of play. The greater intensity of play apparently is a significant factor in causing injuries.
Ice Hockey Injuries: How To Maximize Treatment Results
Ice hockey is widely known as one of the world's fastest and most dangerous sports. With the game's popularity growing at record levels, participation in ice hockey in the United States has experienced substantial growth over the last decade. Over 400,000 male players and 40,000 female players participate under the auspices of USA Hockey (the national hockey governing body), compared to about 190,000 male and 6,300 female players ten years ago.
With the increased participation in hockey has come an increasing number of injuries. The potential for hockey injuries stem from razor sharp skates, 30 mph skating speeds, 100 mph slap shots with a frozen 6-ounce rubber puck, unyielding boards, long wooden or metal sticks and legal body checking.
Hockey injuries fall into two broad groups: the high speed, low mass injuries caused by a puck or stick which result in contusions, lacerations and concussions; and the low speed, high mass injuries caused by collisions with bodies or boards, frequently resulting in sprains and fractures. Lower extremity injuries account for approximately 27 percent of all hockey injuries with 11 percent occurring in the foot.
Recognizing And Treating Hockey-Related Ankle Injuries
Ankle sprains are a common problem in most sports. However, in hockey, the common ankle sprain caused by plantar flexion, inversion and internal rotation is a relatively rare occurrence. This is due to the protection afforded by the modern stiff skating boot and because there is relatively little jumping and landing, which is a frequent cause of inversion injuries in other sports. More frequent and much more troublesome in skating is the dorsiflection-eversion-external rotation ankle sprain.
There are two principal etiologies for this sprain. The first and most common injury occurs when a player catches his or her support blade in an ice rut, causing the skate to follow the rut, forcefully rotating and everting the ankle. The second etiology is a fall over the front of the skates, with the foot being caught in an externally rotated, dorsiflexed position under the body. Both cases result in a strain of the deltoid ligament followed by progressive loading of the tibiofibular ligament and interosseous ligament.
This type of sprain results in immediate pain which is localized in two distinct areas, the medial aspect of the ankle over the deltoid ligament and the anterolateral aspect of the ankle over the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament and distal interosseous ligament. The pain is increased with eversion-external rotation stress of the dorsiflexed ankle. Inversion-internal rotation of the plantar flexed ankle is relatively painless. When the mechanism of injury and clinical examination are consistent with an eversion sprain, you should perform stress X-rays to rule out a diastasis of the ankle syndesmosis. Be sure to include the entire tibia and fibula on the film in order to avoid missing a proximal fibular fracture.
Immediate treatment for these sprains should include prompt compression, ice and elevation since the amount of swelling predicts the amount of ankle pain and the length of recovery you can expect. When the radiograph demonstrates evidence of mortise widening or instability, consider performing open fixation with a syndesmodic screw in order to reduce and hold the ankle anatomically. If the stress X-rays are negative for diastasis, continue with crutches and a compression dressing until the initial injury pain subsides. At that point, you can allow weightbearing as tolerated and proceed to emphasize ankle rehabilitation.

In my previous blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 31: Stop Using Comic's Clichés – Part 1, I discussed those overused phrases comics constantly use. In this blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 32: Stop Using Comic's Clichés – Part 2, I'll delve into the physical comic's clichés.
How to Be a Comedian –
Tip 32: Stop Using Comic's Clichés – Part 2
To reiterate from my previous blog, comic's clichés are all those annoying phrases and behaviors comics pick up from other comics. These clichés fulfill certain functions the comic needs to perform, such as greetings, segues, and what to do when the audience is laughing. I've covered the verbal comic's clichés, now I'd like to delve into the lesser known physical comic's clichés to try to convince you to never use them.
Physical Comic's Clichés
These are all those recurring actions and behaviors that comics do because they haven't taken the time to write something original, so they adopt the comic's clichés. Real people don't act like this. Here are a few:
Placing one hand on the top of the mic stand.
The mic stand is for holding the microphone, not the comic.
Pacing back and forth looking down at the floor.
The most important thing about stand-up comedy is the comedian's relationship with the audience, not the floor.
Leaning forward into the audience to deliver a line.
Remember your show in pictures, sounds, and feelings and you'll tell the story of your jokes, instead of repeating memorized words.
Picking up and smacking down the mike stand to indicate a punch.
Try taking a pause after the punch to give the audience room to laugh, instead of trying to pound the laugh out of them.
Nodding "yes" to the audience between every joke.
Trying staying in the scene of your joke and responding to it, instead of doing a repetitive action.
These aren't all of them. Each generation seems to add a few more to the ever-growing ranks of the overused and tired. If you really want to be a comedian, then attend to every aspect of your show and create something original, instead of copying the hacks who mindlessly repeat these comic's clichés.
In my next blog, How to Be a Comedian – Tip 33: Stop Using Comic's Clichés – Part 3, I'll broach the comic's clichés used to greet the audience.

The title of this post was Wendy's reaction to my email that the Laton Jacket was sitting in front of me ready for inspection. I loved it.
Back to the jacket, Wendy had a number of questions for me pertaining to the embroidery on 1359-1900. They all centered around one issue – "did we figure it out right????" The great thing was that I didn't find many elements that we had been mistaken about. Phew. But there was one which really surprised me. The carnation (or pink) calyx was actually stitched in trellis stitch on most of the jacket and not detached buttonhole like we did. It took awhile to figure out how we
were wrong about that one. But then I noticed that the two carnations/pink calyx (so what is the plural of calyx?) on the back of the jacket were stitched with detached buttonhole and this was the only photography we had at the time.
My goal when I entered the storage room for both the V&A and EG was to photograph a close up of every motif on the piece so I could go back later and look at this type of detailing which I wouldn't have time to systematically do at the piece. I achieved that goal with over 1000 pictures total. Thank heavens for digital! I think it will take months to review the data as questions come up. But I am trying to record what I learned immediately in the blog while it is sharp in my mind.
Here is our calyx. Even though we are wrong on some…we aren't taking them out now!

In the Background: a KCRA-3 Investigation
KCRA-3 found that the state of California was clearing people with arrests for child molestation, sex abuse of a minor, elder abuse, arson, even murder to work in daycares, elder care facilities, nursing homes and foster homes. The state would clear people to work who had multiple arrests and then investigate later. Yet those investigations took months, sometimes years to complete. As a result of our investigation the department changed their policy and a new state law was signed that would prevent the department from changing their policy back. No longer are people with arrests for violent crimes simply cleared to work and then checked later.

Sex Predators Unleashed
A 1999 Florida law passed after a 9-year-old boy was raped and murdered is supposed to protect the public by keeping the most dangerous sex predators locked up after their prison sentences end. But a Sun Sentinel investigation found the state's safeguards broke down at every stage, setting rapists and child molesters free to harm again. Investigative reporter Sally Kestin and database specialist Dana Williams mined multiple data sources, using the state's own records to reveal a horrific picture of recurring tragedy. The failures they uncovered prompted lawmakers to initiate the most comprehensive overhaul of Florida's sex offender laws in more than a decade.

Rhode Island Priest Sex Abuse Letters
In 2012 and early 2013, three Catholic priests were removed from duty at parishes in Rhode Island after credible allegations of sexual abuse against them surfaced. Several adult victims came forward to report assaults that happened decades earlier. In each case, the Diocese of Providence sent a letter describing the abuse and the circumstances to Rhode Island State Police. But because of Rhode Island's brief Statute of Limitations, as short as three years in some cases, there was no way to prosecute the priests criminally. Victims were also unable to bring civil lawsuits in most cases. NBC 10 wanted to know how many other Rhode Island priests had been credibly accused of sexual abuse but never charged with child molestation or rape. While the Diocese of Providence is not subject to public records laws, Rhode Island State Police maintained copies of the letters and must comply with the state's open records regulations. Over a six month period, public records requests revealed 45 letters sent to State Police by the Diocese during the past decade. The letters gave new insight into what victims experienced and how they were treated once they came forward. They also raised questions about why some cases were apparently reported to State Police, while others were not.

KC Perversion Files
A 41 Action News investigation discovered one of the nation's leading youth organizations did not report suspected child sexual abuse to authorities, allowing accused molesters to avoid punishment and putting other children in harm's way. During a five-month investigation, 41 Action News reviewed dozens of Boy Scouts of America's "perversion files" from 1971-1991 with ties to the Kansas City area. During our analysis of the files, intended as a blacklist to keep convicted and suspected pedophiles out of Scouting, we conducted interviews with alleged victims, spoke with a long-time Scouting leader, and tracked down men who had been kicked out of the organization after sexual abuse allegations surfaced.

Boy Scouts Revealed: Trail of Betrayal
In the late fall of 2011 the investigative team at KGTV in San Diego, California began examining a culture of secrecy inside one of America's most trusted youth organizations: The Boy Scouts of America. The series of reports, which aired in May and July 2012, revealed scout leaders knew about child molestation within scouting but rarely reported it to authorities. The local reporting triggered a national investigation by our newly established Scripps national investigative bureau based in Washington, DC. The Scripps national investigative team reviewed 30,000 pages of the Boy Scouts secret files with dates ranging from 1970 to 1991 to uncover the full scope of abuse throughout the country. The national team's investigation resulted in a 3 part series that focused on the scope of the abuse throughout the country; the systematic failures that allowed the abuse to continue; and the state of scouts today. The series aired in all 13 Scripps broadcast markets and 13 Scripps newspapers. The broadcast packages and print articles were showcased on all 26 Scripps websites along with other online elements to provide our online audiences with an immersive interactive experience to explore our findings. This entry is focused on the broadcast portion of the project.

Daniel Acker Pension in Prison
Teacher convicted of sexual molestation was receiving his pension while in prison.
FACT CHECK: Daniel Acker Report Ignored
Through our investigation we found that a teacher, that was convicted of sexually molesting a student, was accused of a similar offense years before, but the report was not acted upon. We confronted former board members about the issue to find out why they did not remove the teacher from his position. Their answers were startling and exposed a process that is now in question.

In Jennifer's Room
In August 2006, caregivers at the Sonoma Developmental Center found dark blue bruises shaped like handprints covering the breasts of a patient. Jennifer accused a staff member of molestation and her injuries appeared to be evidence of sexual abuse. Big projects often have smaller narratives within them that can be developed into standalone features that draw readers into the larger story. Clearly Jennifer's story was one of those. Presenting this story in video format was particularly challenging because Jennifer and her mother did not want to be identified. We chose a graphic narrative approach, with a voice actor reading the transcript of the mother's interview. The artist consulted photographs and diagrams of the Sonoma Developmental Center to ensure that the drawings were accurate.

Broken Shield
Decades ago, California created a special police force to patrol exclusively at its five state developmental centers – taxpayer-funded institutions where patients with severe autism and cerebral palsy have been beaten, tortured and raped by staff members. But California Watch found that this state force, the Office of Protective Services, does an abysmal job bringing perpetrators to justice. Reporter Ryan Gabrielson, a Pulitzer Prize winner, exposed the depths of the abuse inside these developmental centers while showing how sworn officers and detectives wait too long to start investigations, fail to collect evidence and ignore key witnesses – leading to an alarming inability to solve crimes inflicted upon some of society's most vulnerable citizens. Dozens of women were sexually assaulted inside state centers, but police investigators didn't order "rape kits" to collect evidence, a standard law enforcement tool. Police waited so long to investigate one sexual assault that the staff janitor accused of rape fled the country, leaving behind a pregnant patient incapable of caring for a child. The police force's inaction also allowed abusive caregivers to continue molesting patients – even after the department had evidence that could have stopped future assaults. Many of the victims chronicled by California Watch are so disabled they cannot utter a word. Gabrielson gave them a resounding voice. Our Broken Shield series prompted far-reaching change, including a criminal investigation, staff retraining and new laws – all intended to bring greater safeguards and accountability.
