As large numbers of the children of illegal immigrants have been almost dumped in Arizona camps after crossing the border from Central American countries, it must be noted that under current U.S. law, that they will be well cared for. As a matter of fact, these children, some of who are snuggling underneath aluminum foil blankets, will be treated even better than some children born in the U.S. under the foster care system.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Based upon current immigration and asylum laws, the vast majority of these children could be legally staying in the United States before long.
Under the authority of the Homeland Security Act, the federal government transfers custody of illegal immigrant children who are apprehended alone at our borders to the Department of Health and Human Service's Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).
Get food into the hands of hungry children -- by going here --
While this agency's chief goal is reuniting these children with a family member or legal guardian already here in the U.S., this children will receive a bevy of assistance while in custody. Some of this will include classroom education, health care, socialization/recreation, vocational training, mental health services, family reunification, access to legal services and case management.
Of all these benefits, the most important one is legal assistance. There is an outreach program in place to connect immigration attorneys willing to work on a pro-bono basis with UACs as they go through removal proceedings.
Adult illegal immigrants facing deportation or applying for a status adjustment, to find a pro-bono attorney is nearly impossible. Even lower-priced immigration attorneys are financially out of reach for most applicants. In the case of the migrant children, there is a program designed specifically to help just them, as well as unaccompanied refugee minors.
These lawyers who volunteer to help these children aren't bottom-of-the-barrel lawyers, either. Some of them work for very prestigious firms in different parts of the country.
Aided by top-drawer legal assistance, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the odds of UACs being granted some kind of legal status to stay in the United States is very high.
"Our organization, Safe Passage Project, finds that nearly 90 percent of the unaccompanied minors we meet who are facing deportation qualify for immigration relief, allowing them to remain in the United States legally." Safe Passage Project Director Lenni Benson wrote in a letter printed in the New York Times earlier this year.
"While emergency shelters provide a temporary solution for unaccompanied minors entering the United States, appointed legal counsel to enable these vulnerable young people to receive the immigration remedies for which they might be eligible would provide permanency and would truly be in their best interests."

Get the kids away from the electronics and out in the fresh air by installing a tire swing in your backyard. Tire swings have been around forever because they're fun for any age and they're inexpensive to make.
By Chris Hill, Chief's ShopMore in Outdoors
Cross one end over the other, make a loop and tuck the end inside the loop.
Be sure to tighten the knot so that both ends of the rope are adjacent and parallel to each other.
Finish off the open ends of the rope by tying an overhand knot (just a simple loop, then feeding the end of the rope through) as a stopgap. Be sure to tighten the knot so that both ends of the rope are adjacent and parallel to each other.
While not absolutely necessary, you can use that same knot on both the branch and the tire. Adjust the rope length and knots to set the tire swing height as desired. A good rule of thumb is to set the bottom of the tire at least 12 to 18 inches from the ground.
To avoid fraying, you can try burning the end of the rope (be careful and prepared to extinguish a flame) or wrap the ends of the rope with exterior duct tape.
After hanging the tire swing, drill drainage holes in the bottom of the tire to keep water from collecting inside the tire, creating a breeding ground for mosquitoes (and a big sloshy surprise when someone gets on the tire). Also make sure to periodically check the inside of the tire for wasp nests.

Seattle Radio Host Wants to Punch Out Ann Coulter, Octomom, Zach Effron, Others
Brooke Fox of Seattle's MOVIN, 92.5 FM radio show "The Ladies Room" wants to know who would be worth risking jail just so you could punch them out. Such violence. Of course, the question is what would have happened if a conservative radio show host had made this Twitter post?
On her Twitter feed on February 17, Miss Fox asked the question "Fill in the blank 'I would be willing to go to jail for the opportunity to punch out ____!'" The next day she answered the question by posting a few names of celebs she apparently wouldn't mind punching out. That list included Zach Efron, Ann Coulter, Kanye West, Octomom, Kate Gosselin, and John Mayer.
I guess it's OK when a liberal radio talker wants to commit violence on people they don't like. But the whole of the media establishment would have raised up in righteous indignation if a conservative yacker had made such an idiotic Twitter post. Should it have been a conservative, that radio host would have been on every TV and in every newspaper in the country and would likely have been suspended or even fired. He'd have been said to be pushing a "hate crime."
But our Miss Fox is a left-winger, so she gets a pass. For her the Old Media is silent. Just more of the double standard the Old Media employs.

don_r's 'pride and joy'
anyone know if this hosta is in production or just a one off?....i really hope it is
I just happened to be checking the recent auction results on the AHS site and see that "Pride and Joy" donated by Don Rawson was acquired by a bidder for $150. And the Hosta Library contains the exact same photos you have posted above. So it's around but perhaps hard to find. I agree - gorgeous hosta.
Hmmmmm....ya like this one? So do I! And I think I know where you can get it. :)
I've been growing this beauty for over 12 years now... it's my sport of Paul's Glory. The margins are much wider... the leaves are thicker...it grows better and bigger than Paul's Glory...and it's probably a tetraploid. Great variegation...it draws a lot of attention whenever I have visitors to my garden. (I've had some people say it's their favorite...and everyone who has seen it says they like it better than Paul's Glory.) It eventually becomes quite a large hosta at maturity.
I kinda screwed up...I should have introduced this one ten years ago, since it's better than the other sports of Paul's Glory IMO. But nowdays there's just too many sports of Paul's Glory on the market, so no one is interested in tissue culturing another one. So I just take off a couple divisions each summer and offer them on the Hosta Library auction to some lucky bidder...
PS It's not related to hosta Rhino Hide...and actually is quite different from Rhino Hide.
I agree, it is too similar to other Paul's Glory sports to introduce now. Check out these plants for an alternative:
Lakeside Shore Master (registered as unknown parentage, but believed to be a sport of Paul's Glory)
St. Paul (for me this one has a thinner center than the plant shown above)
Paradise Glory
I have Lakeside Shore Master, St. Paul, and Paradise Glory. In fact, I brought them a few years ago and planted them all in the same flowerbed as Pride and Joy to compare. Paradise Glory is the most similar to Pride and Joy so far. I'll take pics of all four this summer and post them here so we can see the differences. :)

About ШЁШІШ§ШІ ШіЩғШі
ШЁШІШ§ШІ ШіЩғШі This is a playful kiss.
Think about one piston in a gasoline engine. While the 2-D animation is not quite bad, the 3-D animation, ugly mecha aside, is not pretty impressive—though not quite up to Studio Fantasia`s usual standards. That means that the piston is also traveling a relatively long distance up and down in its cylinder on each cycle. Many styles of Philippine music uses 8 notes or the European way of music because Philippines was colonized by Spain. ШіЩғШі Ш§Щ"Щ…ШӯШұЩ… This can be very exciting. Vacuum Kiss - While kissing open-mouthed, slightly suck in as if you were sucking the air from your partners mouth. ШіЩғШі Ш§Щ"Щ…ШӯШұЩ… Can consumer-generated media {CGM} work as a monetizeable business model for video like it has for text? What are the challenges with incorporating video into public Wikis? And, can traditional news companies use the wiki model for incorporating CGM video and build back their own news communities, or are the challenges too great?However, traffic and consumer activity doesn't equate profit. That means that the piston is also traveling a relatively long distance up and down in its cylinder on each cycle.
Over time, the width of the hem grew wider and the term `flare-leg` was favored in marketing over the term `bell-bottom`. ШіЩғШі Ш§Щ"Щ…ШӯШұЩ… No wonder everyone seems to be reading Naruto these days! The truth about Karin`s nature as an apparent defective vampire is also finally revealed, and major plot developments roll out, as the series nears its conclusion.
ШіЩғШі Ш§Щ"Щ…ШӯШұЩ… No likeable lead, no interesting relationships, no laughs {that work—plenty that don`t}, and, aside from the scattered low-angle shot and an episode devoted to lusty lesbian hi-jinks, surprisingly little fan-service.

Lincoln Field Named Most Veg-Friendly Stadium
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has named the Eagles home field the most vegetarian-friendly NFL arena.
The Philadelphia Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field was just named the most vegetarian-friendly NFL stadium by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The arena's faux-steak sandwiches, veggie dogs, hoagies, tacos, and wraps have garnered it the top spot on PETA's "Top 5 Vegetarian-Friendly NFL Stadiums" list for the fourth year in the row. The Chief's Arrowhead Stadium came in second place, and was noted for its lentil burgers and grilled veggie pasta salad. Following Arrowhead was the Oakland Raider's O.co Coliseum and then the Detroit Lions' Ford Field, which serves vegan barbecue sandwiches and veggie tofu flatbreads. Qualcomm Stadium, where the San Diego Chargers have home field advantage, rounded out PETA's list with its Portabella Carpaccio and vegan chocolate chip cookies.

Several years ago, a parent commented to me that she was happy the new teacher was not gay. It caught me totally off guard. I always hope the new teacher is a kind, caring, and compassionate human and sexuality is a non-issue in that.

Over 650 people attended our Global Forum for Business as an Agent of World Benefit and it was electric, from the talks of people such as Naveen Jain and Nobel Prize Winner Martti Ahtisaari, to CEOs of companies such as Vitamix and top corporate citizen in America Fairmount Santrol. This Huffington Post article show how inspired participants were and how this "unconference" leads not to just good talks but to collective action.

The story of the Red Delicious is almost a perfect analogy for the food industry. It was genetically selected for its marketable skin, an aesthetically sumptuous red. The skin of the Red Delicious better covers bruises than other varieties and tastes more bitter. Consumers were buying what the industry promoted and "eating with their eyes and not their mouths." But recently there has been a backlash in the United States and more American consumer are seeking out other varieties; meanwhile the apple producers are working on exporting this variety to around the world, but especially into Chinese markets.

Chris Carter's curator insight, August 24, 2014 9:34 AM
These pieces are so well researched, and also thoughtful. While I do not always agree with the articles' assertions, I find myself impressed with the depth of them. Simply superb discussion starters.
David Cooperrider & Chris Johnston's curator insight, August 13, 2014 5:53 AM
The notion of responsible business has infiltrated our markets, and 'going green' is now a part of our mindset. But, sustainability as we know it is not enough. Flourishing—the aspiration that humans and life in general will thrive on the planet forever—should be a key goal for every business today. This is a bold concept, like sustainability was a decade ago. Just as sustainability has become a matter of course, so too will flourishing become a cornerstone of business tomorrow. This book has inspired a whole conference...sign up now....and bring your team of managers, young leaders, change agents, etc.

"Very disappointing and confusing."
This book read more like a soap opera. It was also confusing and rather dull. the narrator used the same voice for all the men and they all sounded angry. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
"Delightful story!"
This was a heartwarming, funny, poignant, well written story. I will more than likely read it again in the future The narrator was terrific and brought all the characters to life for me. If you're looking for a humorous, feel good book (as I was) this will not disappoint!
"Better than expected!"
Frankly, I almost didn't choose this newest "Stone Barrington" book .The reviews were not encouraging and I didn't like the last book in the series. However, I took a chance on this one and I enjoyed it more than I anticipated. Lots of twists,turns and unexpected exciting bits that held my interest right to the end. Tony Roberts did a great job of bringing all the characters to life as usual! I still wish the author would skip the politics and tone down the sex scenes. But that's just this woman' s opinion. If you're a fan of the series I would recommend you try this one.
"Wonderful story!"
Don't hesitate to use your credit on this heartwarming story. You don't have to be a dog lover to enjoy this true story set in WW ll. You don't even have to be a member of that generation to find it worthwhile and enjoyable..I believe high school and college students would find it "a good read". An honest look at the reality of those difficult times. You'll laugh, you'll cry,and most of all you won't want it to end.
"Not for me!"
O.K. I'll be the "naysayer". The premise was not believable. If you enjoy reading about unremitting torture and the evils of religious cults,then maybe this book is for you. I'm not judging. I just can't believe all the reviewers and I read the same book! I regret I read this one based on the reviews.
"Not worth a credit!"
Too many love starved women fighting over him. Dumb and dumber. The sex scenes were vulgar and unnecessary Way too much political yada yada.Overall a very dull read. I have read most of the Stone Barrington books but this one was ludicrous. The last one should have warned me not to pr-order. Never again. Even Tony Roberts couldn't save this lemon.
"Terrific value. Three good books."
I took a chance on this selection. I thought three books for one credit would just be mediocre at best. I was wrong on all counts. All the books were well written ,and built up to exciting conclusions. Police methods,procedures and jargon were well researched and accurate. Read them in order. They will have more meaning. Len Cariou was an excellent narrator . My one complaint was the music. It was intrusive, off putting and unnecessary. However, don't let that stop you, the stories are still worth your credit.
"Not my cup of tea."
Found the story distasteful,unpleasant and depressing. I should have known by the cover it wasn't my kind of reading.
"Confusing and boring."
It read like a book on two different subjects and I didn't find either one interesting.
The first story was almost tolerable were it not for narrator racing through it at too fast a rate. The stories seemed to run into each other and it became confusing. The reading became faster and faster and I finally gave up.
"Not for me."
I didn't finish this book for two reasons. I think it should have been written by a professional writer and narrated by a professional. It was a horrific experience for Miss Dugard and I wish her publisher had given her some expert advise when it came to bringing the story to the readers.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story appears in the March edition of Women's Pro Rodeo News, the official publication of the WPRA. It is republished on this site with the approval of the WPRA.
By the time the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo begins March 25, Lindsay and Jesse Kruse will have welcomed their second child.
The baby was due the end of February, giving Mom about a month to have herself and Lenas Mijo Dulce ready for the national championship. Lindsay Kruse is ready for the opportunity.
"I'm really excited to run at it this year," said Kruse, married to Jesse, the 2009 world champion saddle bronc rider. "I like the new location, and it looks like they are making it a lot more enjoyable for the contestants. It has a bigger purse. I just hope to win some of that money they've added this year."
She maneuvered her way to the RNCFR in Kissimmee, Fla., by having an outstanding season in the Montana Circuit. Her pregnancy prevented Kruse from competing at the Ram Montana Circuit Finals Rodeo in mid-January.
"They let me have a medical exemption," she said, noting that the exemption allowed her a shot at year-end awards. "I had a decent lead, about $5,000, but I couldn't defend myself."
Instead, Carmel Wright won two go-rounds and placed in another to win the average in Great Falls, Mont. She pocketed more than $7,000 and passed Kruse. But by finishing second in the year-end race, Kruse will join Wright in Florida.
"I don't mind the drive," Kruse said, noting that the family will be part of the traveling posse. "We usually go to Texas this time of year."
Her road trip is delayed a little, but she plans to have a pretty good partner in the mix. Harley is a 13-year-old sorrel gelding by Pobre Dulce and out of Lenas Country Bar. This marks Kruse's sixth RNCFR qualification and Harley's second.
"He's tough," she said. "He likes being on the road. He just likes to do it. His personality is better when you're on the road.
"He's kind of a quirky thing. He doesn't get along with many people. You definitely have to have a bond with him."
That's a good thing for Kruse, who said she and Harley just clicked from the first day they got together.
"He's all cow-bred with no barrel breed in him," she said. "He's kind of odd-shaped, but he's pretty in his own way."
It works, but so does the relationship between Sara Rose McDonald and her horse, Fame Fling N Bling, a 9-year-old roan mare she calls Bling. Like Kruse, McDonald finished as the year-end runner-up to Victoria Williams, who also won the average at the Ram Southeastern Circuit Finals Rodeo.
"I'm excited to go there because it's close to home," said McDonald of Brunswick, Ga., the Southeastern Circuit and WPRA Rookie of the Year. "I know it's a good rodeo, so I just want to make good runs."
That's exactly what happened for Gretchen Benbenek last year. She took advantage of the tournament-style format and raced to the national championship last spring at the Lazy E Arena near Guthrie, Okla.
She placed fifth in the opening go-round and was solid on the second run on Shot of Firewater, a 12-year-old bay she calls Maverick. The speedster is by Firem Jet and out of Miss Willie Ada; Maverick's mom was Benbenek's primary mount before the gelding came into his own.
By finishing third in the two-round average, the tandem advanced to the RNCFR's semifinals, finishing second to Kassidy Dennison. Benbenek and Maverick excelled on their final run, picking up more than $13,000 and a $20,000 voucher for a new pickup.
"Other than the Prairie Circuit Finals, I've never been in the position to defend a title," said Benbenek, the two-time reigning Prairie Circuit year-end champion from Aubrey, Texas. "I feel a little pressure about it, but it's a brand new arena that I've never been to.
"I just need to go in there hungry and wanting it and determined, then we'll see how it goes."
It helps that she has a good experience, albeit in Oklahoma's red dirt and not in the shadow of Disney World.
"I think Florida has shown a lot of interest in rodeo lately, and it doesn't have any other big events there," she said. "I can already feel there's a new level of excitement. I've never got to rodeo in Florida. I hear the facility is really nice, and I think it will be a good place for my horse in me.
"It's right there by Disney World, and I've got some family coming down so we can do something else while we're there."
Her focus, though, is defending that national championship. Though the winter has been relatively slow for Benbenek, she has a lot of faith in Maverick.
"I like to give my horse a good break over the winter," Benbenek said. "He's been running good. We've just been a little bit out of (the money). We haven't hit our stride.
"I go everywhere to win. I don't go to get second place or just show up. I have expectations of winning. I realize the competition there is going to be very tough, and winning is not an easy thing to do. As long as I feel like I can make the best run I can and as long as me and my horse are physically prepared, I'll be happy with the outcome."
That's the attitude of a proven winner.

My first external hard drive from Seagate crashed after 6 months. I contacted Seagate and they replaced it under warranty but I did lose all my data. I came home the other day and the replacement was making a high pitch squeeling noise. I unplugged it and now it too is dead. Not impressed.
I ordered this drive to use with the backup utility included with WIndows 7 Pro 64-bit. The disk drive, however, has 4kB sectors, and according to Microsoft policy (search for "Microsoft support policy for 4K sector hard drives in Windows" to see it) such drives are not supported by Windows 7. Although the drive didn'twork with WIndows 7 backup (produced I/O errors), I tried it with Acronis True Image, and that worked fine. So the drive does seem to be compatible with Windows 7, but not Windows 7 backup.
Got this at a really great price and it works great. I like that it's not upright compared to other desktop drives in case it gets knocked over. Using it as a backup drive and did not care for Seagates back up software. Used Acronis instead and with the USB3.0 it backs up pretty fast.
Very easy to set up and use.
Meet my required, excellent drive with good value!
I got this hard drive to store HD videos. It is my third external hard drive from Seagate and I am very happy with it. It works silently fast and seamlessly over USB 3.0. I have an older version of this drive that doesn't work well with the new windows: that older version kept dismounting and re-mounting itself when used with a computer operating under windows 8.1. But this new unit seems completely compatible with the new OS from Microsoft so no complaint. I'm confident it will keep working for years like my two other drives from Seagate.
This hard drive works very well for those looking to expand your pvr...archive over 600 hrs in full HD. just plug it in connect to rear usb go to menu and follow the guide to multimedia, the pvr will format the hard drive and that's it..simple.
Seagate never disappoints. I purchased a 1-TB drive three years ago and came back for more due to great performance out of the first drive. No lost data, great transfer times for the price.

Should I use the Comfortis on....
nac2721August 30, 2009
I have an 8 month old, 5.3 lb., long-haired chuihuahua. He has a flea problem, and the frontline plus isn't working. We live in SW FL so this doesn't help the problem. Before we buy the Comfortis does anyone have any advice, tips, etc. for my situation? It would be GREATLY appreciated!
First, check with the vet to see if there's any reason not to use it for your dog.
Second, make sure the dosage is correct for his weight.
Third, give him something to eat a little while before you give him the pill, so he won't get an upset stomach.
We've given it to our two dogs for eight months now and it has worked very well, better for us than the Frontline.

Executive characteristics influence strategic outcomes i.e. the skill set of a manager of an organization or business unit should be matched with the strategy to be implemented. This is needed for successful outcome of the strategy.
Therefore, a person who has to manage a unit with differentiation strategy must have the competent skills required to manage the differentiation strategy.
The skill sets are as follows:
i) Must have a sound analytical mind and possess knowledge of other industries. These are necessary for the diversification of product lines.
ii) Must have greater willingness to take risks and higher tolerance for uncertainty.
iii) Sales and marketing experience.
These characteristics are necessary as the business unit needs diversification in terms of markets/products in a competitive marketplace.
When the company has a policy to promote from within, it should promote from within only. But if a person with the required skill sets is not available within the company, the company should have to make an exception and the policy should be reconsidered. Otherwise, the company must have to take a chance by promoting from within only.
