#2: The Shadowed Mind
Product Description
Who will be found worthy to live; who is the next victim?
After the deadly investigation into the Smithsonian murders, Dinah Harris is now facing a daily battle to keep her sobriety while struggling to form a new career from the ashes of her former job as an FBI agent. From the shadows will emerge a cunning and terrifying killer, who carefully and methodically will decide whose life has value to society and whose does not.
Using her profiling and security skills as a private consultant based in Washington, DC, Dinah uncovers a connection to the shadowy world of neo-eugenics, and those who publicly denounce the killings but privately support a much different view.
Against this backdrop, Dinah must come to terms with her own past, as those associated with the deepening mystery face their own personal demons, and struggle with the concept of God's inexhaustible grace and forgiveness. Old secrets are revealed, tragedies unearthed, and the devastating legacy of science without compassion is finally brought to light.

The Shadowed Mind is written in chunks that are narrated from different characters' perspectives. This provides an easy way to get into the individuals' heads. Cave includes a wide cast of characters: a trendy, well dressed college professor; a tattooed and pierced crime lab technician; and various homeless and drug-addicted vagabonds. Even though most of the characters are secondary, Cave gives the reader the chance to get to know them before they fade from the scene.
The story has three central characters: Detective Samson Cage, ex-FBI agent Dinah Harris, and the killer whom we never see coming. Cage is a friendly, but reserved, hulking character who likes order and precision. Dinah Harris is working as a private consultant after being fired from the FBI for alcoholism. Now, trying to keep her new sobriety intact is almost as hard as tracking a killer who leaves little to nothing to follow. The murderer only kills those he deems unfit for society, those he believes are holding the human race back from evolving into something greater. Lack of public interest is on his side since the average citizen doesn't care if a homeless man or a drugged-up prostitute goes missing.
This book begins with promise but ends somewhat weak. Cave does a marvelous job making her characters vivid and real, but some of the things they say and do defy common sense. Also, the story loses momentum about half-way through, and the reader gets bogged down in investigative information or, at times, some preaching and lectures. The Christian message is skillfully woven into some parts of the story, but it is also thrown at the reader in large, awkward chunks in other sections. The concept of this book is a good one, but the execution could use some fine tuning. Rebekah Mosolf, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
Product Reviews
LehrerinRoxboro, NCAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Suspense with a heartFebruary 8, 2012LehrerinRoxboro, NCAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Having lost her career as an FBI agent but gained her sobriety, Dinah Harris is ready to begin her new career: as a private consultant. With the a shady senator keeping his eye on her while she tracks a serial killer, Dinah is challenged to stop the man killing society's most undesirables - before his aim settles on her.
Peace does not yet reign supreme in Dinah's mind. Although she desperately wants the new life she has found in Jesus, she isn't sure yet how to make that happen. Staying sober continues to be a struggle even as she hates the part of her that craves alcohol, and thus makes her a target for the eugenics killer.
Eugenics, defined by www.dictionary.com as the practice of improving the human race by discouraging the reproduction of people with defects, is a main theme of this book. The history of eugenics in America - yes, America! - plays a large role in solving this case. Like in Deadly Disclosures, the information is passed to the reader from experts consulted throughout the investigation. Because the information trickled through the suspects as new evidence was revealed, it flowed naturally.
Dinah Harris is one of my new favorite characters. Her enthusiastic desire to create a new life for herself is inspiring, and she tackles each mystery with bulldog tenacity. If I needed her superior investigative skills, I'd want her on the case.
The Shadowed Mind is a realistic suspense with a clear view of how easily we humans can lose sight of kindness and good will when we take our minds off of the One who created them. A cut above your ordinary mystery, this book is not merely 200 pages of mysterious fluff but the well-crafted work of an educated, inspirational author.
I received a free copy of The Shadowed Mind from Julie Cave in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own. -
Shaun TabattCottage Grove, MNAge: 35-44Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5A fantastic read, thrilling and thought-provoking!January 3, 2012Shaun TabattCottage Grove, MNAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5At the close of Deadly Disclosures (book 1 in the Dinah Harris mystery series), Dinah Harris and her former partner Ferguson had just solved the Thomas Whitfield abduction case. Next up on Dinah's calendar was beginning a rehabilitation program to aid her in combatting her struggles with alcoholism. The Shadowed Mind (book 2 in the Dinah Harris mystery series) picks up Dinah's story about 6 months later. The now former FBI agent has completed her time in rehabilitation and is back home, trying to build a new life as a freelance criminal profiler and investigator. In many ways, you could say Dinah's life is better than it was before rehab, but that's not to say it is easy. Each day is a struggle as she continues to come to terms with the painful reality that her husband (Luke) and son (Sammy) are gone forever. The temptation of alcohol still lingers in her mind each day, but she is finding the strength she needs to resist giving in to that temptation through her growing faith in Jesus Christ and the support of the Christian mentor who was assigned to her through the rehabilitation center's outpatient recovery program.
Dinah's work as a profiler was an important part of her life when she worked for the FBI and she is eager to put her skills to work again in the private sector. Her first consulting opportunity comes from Detective Samson Cage, who she had crossed paths with during the Whitfield investigation. Detective Cage is investigating the murder of a seventeen year old street kid named Lakeisha Tennant. While it wasn't unusual for violence and the occasional homicide in that part of Washington D.C., there was a unique piece of evidence found on the victim that convinced Detective Cage to engage services of an expert profiler like Dinah. Tucked in to one of Lakeisha's boots was a blank sympathy card with an old photo attached. It really wasn't all that much to go on, but it was a start.
Seemingly unrelated, in a different part of town, Ella Barnett is at home caring for her aging father John Barnett. John was formerly president of a large bank, but that was some years ago. John is now suffering from the later stages of Alzheimer's and his mind has retreated to a time long before Ella was born. It is becoming increasingly difficult for Ella to care for her father. She no longer feels safe taking him out in public as he often rambles on and on about searching for two boys named Peter and Henry. His need to find these two boys is a bit confounding to Ella, but it is downright scary to the people they encounter in public.
One final character I need to mention that first appeared in Deadly Disclosures is presidential hopeful, Senator David Winters. Senator Winters will do whatever it takes to further his political aspirations. With the way things ended following the Whitfield investigation, Winters is Dinah's sworn enemy and would like nothing more than to see her disappear forever. I won't give away any more of Senator Winters part in this story, but I have a sneaking suspicion he will show up again in Pieces of Light (book 3 in the Dinah Harris Mystery Series).
As the book progresses, these three disparate story lines will come together touching on the themes of eugenics and euthanasia, helping readers to come to terms with the question of whether or not there is intrinsic value in all human life, no matter how fragile or frail. In the midst of all this, readers will also be able to come alongside Dinah as she continues on her own journey of healing and faith, where she finally comes to terms with her catastrophic loss and the healing and restoration she continues to experience through her relationship with Jesus Christ.
I enthusiastically recommend The Shadowed Mind. It is a masterfully written tale that not only keeps you on the edge of your seat, but also challenges you to seriously consider many of the important faith and worldview issues we face in our world today. While I am always a bit nervous about the quality of follow up books in any series, this book is written with the same quality and passion we saw from Julie Cave in Deadly Disclosures. With the first and second books in the Dinah Harris mystery series under my belt, I can't wait to start reading Pieces of Light!
Author Information:
Julie Cave credits her parents for introducing her to books at a young age, which fostered an enduring passion for reading and writing. As a child, her favorite authors were Enid Blyton and C.S. Lewis and it wasn't long before she began copying them, writing short stories for anyone who would read them. At fifteen, two things happened which would shape her future: she heard a creation science speaker at her church which cemented her faith in God; and she finished her second novel-length story and realized she had fallen in love with writing novels. After school, she completed a health science degree, got married, and worked in banking and finance. All the while she wondered how she could combine her love of writing and her strong passion for Christian apologetics and evangelism. One weekend at a church camp, a friend asked, `What if the guy in charge of the Smithsonian Institution went missing?' The result - and the answer to that question - is Julie's maiden published novel, Deadly Disclosures. Since then, Julie has written and released the other two books in this trilogy, The Shadowed Mind and Pieces of Light. Julie has two daughters and lives in Brisbane, Australia with her family. She divides her time between being a wife, a mother and an author.

Sneezybee23Age: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Suspense, Mystery, Murder!March 25, 2011Sneezybee23Age: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5All men are created equal. Or are they? One of America's core beliefs is about to be challenged. There's a killer on the loose who is intent on making a point. Those deemed unworthy - the prostitutes, mentally ill, alcoholics, and homeless - are all lower on the evolutionary scale and ought to be eradicated. Former FBI Agent Dinah Harris is hired by the mysterious Detective Samson Cage to assist in the investigation and gets a crash course into the world of neo-eugenics. As a recovering alcoholic, staying sober is hard enough. But when the killer targets her personally, the stakes are higher than ever before.
The Shadowed Mind by Julie Cave is the second book in the Dinah Harris trilogy. In my opinion, it is better than the first book though I do recommend reading them in order. Dinah Harris is a deeply intricate character that captures and holds the attention of the reader. Half-mystery and half-suspense, this book keeps the reader guessing about the killer's identity. There is also a sub-plot that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Dinah's part of the story until the very end. I am always impressed when an author writes so well that I can't predict who did it until the chosen moment of revelation.
I applaud Cave for her boldness in tackling the topic of neo-eugenics. In way of warning, I think that politically liberal readers will probably take offense at some portions of this book. The book takes obvious stabs at prevailing liberal philosophies. From mocking evolutionary beliefs to quoting Obama's "no longer a Christian nation" statement, the author attacks ideologies and defends her own. Personally, I agree with the author's beliefs. I just feel it necessary to warn of the prevalent conservative bias that may cause some readers to discard the book rather than considering Cave's argument.
I recommend reading this book with an open mind.

BettyWAge: 55-654 Stars Out Of 5Very EnlighteningJanuary 1, 2011BettyWAge: 55-65Quality: 3Value: 3Meets Expectations: 3The books provides a lot of information on eugenics in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. I think it is a wake up call to all those who stand for Biblical truths and the apparent negative effect the teaching of evolution is having on our society. The story is a bit depressing due to the victims chosen but it ends on an exciting note.
Jeff LeMasterGlens Falls, NYAge: 35-44Gender: male3 Stars Out Of 5Part crime scene drama, part ethics lectureDecember 24, 2010Jeff LeMasterGlens Falls, NYAge: 35-44Gender: maleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 3What do you get when you mix a crime scene drama with an ethics lecture? A book that can best be described as a theological thriller.
This is book two in the Dinah Harris series, but it stands alone with just enough background story and references to the first book to make you want to go back and read it as well.
The characters are simple, but real: the frazzled caretaker whose dad has Alzheimer's; the serial killer with twisted morals; the strong, silent cop with a hidden past; the recovering alcoholic on the brink of relapse.
The author depicts Dinah's struggle with alcohol addiction with gripping realism. The level of stress that slowly builds over the chapters leading to Dinah's tragic setback causes the reader to agonize and empathize with her despair. The shock and trauma that trigger her insatiable desire for drink fill the reader with compassion. Dinah wisely paves her road to recovery with the well-worn stones of personal accountability and spiritual growth. She is never "cured," but she does make progress.
As a pure murder mystery, the book fails. There aren't any clues that could possibly lead the reader to solve the mystery; and the only promising leads are all red herrings. Even Sherlock Holmes would have been frustrated with this case.
One glaring erratum: John Barnett is erroneously referred to as John Tennant in the first sentence of chapter 18 on page 230.
Is it possible to write a fictional story about the ethical cesspool of eugenics from the perspective of a Christian worldview without getting preachy or boring? Julie Cave had me convinced that she had done it in The Shadowed Mind. I was about 75% through the book before the long, lecture paragraphs and scripture quotations appeared. For the Christian audience, it was a refreshing reminder of how valuable all life is to our Creator. Those who do not embrace the Christian worldview may find the book overly pedantic.
I look forward to reading other books by Julie Cave. The Christian publishing world is blessed to have such an engaging author.

Conjunctival autograft will be glued using fibrin glue to pterygia bed after removal

Conjunctival autograft will be sutured using 10/0 vicryl sutures to pterygia bed after removal
Procedure: Suture

Detailed Description:
Pterygium surgery requires removal of the pterygia from cornea and conjunctiva and an additional technique to prevent recurrence which may be as high as 50%.
Suturing a conjunctival auto-graft has become one of the most popular and effective methods in preventing recurrence. However suturing requires long operative time (10-20 minutes with removal alone less than 5 minutes) and requires sutures removal after 1-2 weeks which is very inconvenient to the patient.
Using Fibrin Glue (Quixil) has been used in several places in pterygium surgery and we believe it will be as effective as suturing the graft, will use much less OR time (reduce surgery time from 40 minutes to 20-25 minutes) and will be less expensive since 2 ml glue (around 80US$) suffice for 10 cases, while one vicryl suture costs around 34 US$.

News that SoftBank was completing its $21.6 billion takeover of Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S ) led the stock to trade as much as 10% higher during the next trading session. Helping matters was both an upgrade of the stock and news that the wireless carrier would be offering new rate plans designed to keep customers for life. Sprint continues to work hard to differentiate itself from both Verizon (NYSE: VZ ) and AT&T (NYSE: T ) but has been playing catch up in terms of its network.
In the following video, Fool.com contributor Doug Ehrman discusses how both the deal and the rate plans may give Sprint the tools it needs to become a more serious contender in the space.

Rural fire departments in communities throughout the Maritimes are facing a real challenge these days, trying to recruit young people to what is an essential need in every town and village ŌĆō the local fire service.
As our population ages, just where will the new recruits come from? SpringhillŌĆÖs Fire Chief Tom Corkum alluded to that during a recent open house and information session in Springhill. He told the Amherst News that smaller communities are unfortunately losing many of their young people to the urban areas and to those parts of the country where there are jobs. Corkum says those who do show an interest will take the training but are soon lost to a job out west.
IŌĆÖve always been impressed by the dedication and commitment of volunteer firefighters and the role they play in shaping their communities. Beyond the task of performing their duties as emergency first responders, they do so much more in terms of fundraising and providing leadership in initiating programs and activities for youth to seniors.
Just as an example, in towns like Amherst, Springhill and Sackville, generations of families have had an ongoing association with their fire department and when thereŌĆÖs been a specific community need the Firefighters Association and the Firefighters Ladies Auxiliary have been there as part of the fundraising effort.
IŌĆÖm told by some of the older firefighters that there was a day when young men would line up for the privilege of serving their community as a volunteer firefighter.
ThereŌĆÖs no doubt that being a volunteer firefighter can be extremely demanding. In what other line of work would a volunteer suddenly leave their paying jobs or pull themselves out of bed in the middle of the night to risk their lives responding to an emergency?
On top of that are the hours of rigorous training necessary for first responders to deal with a wide variety of emergency situations. And of course, there are the hours of other volunteer activity like the fund raising and community awareness and fire prevention projects that are all part of being a member of the fire service.
On the other hand, I know of few other volunteer services that are more rewarding and vital to a community than the fire service. If youŌĆÖre 19 years of age or older and would like to be a part of an exceptional organization where youŌĆÖll certainly develop new skills, teamwork, develop new friendships and make a valuable contribution to your community ŌĆō your volunteer fire department needs you.

He's a 12x14 and supposedly able to scratch his own behind with his massive head gear. I've only heard of him, but haven't seen pics. Has anyone else heard of this brute, and if so, do they have any links to pics or video him?

Oona, I'm so proud of you for figuring out that HTML code thing! But when I clicked on your sidebar button Firefox said, "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (hhtp) isn't associated with any program". So I right clicked on your side bar button and chose "Properties" to check the address and sure enough, you have an extra "h" preceeding http (which, BTW, stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol). So edit out that offending "h" and make it just "http", OK?
ReplyDeletewelcome and thank you cesarina, mystery solved! "art & then some" is way cooler than what the web translation machines came up with.
as for the color-- i use the rounders 2 template, you can change the blog post color easily in fonts & colors-- but if you want to change the main background color (i.e., my yellow color), click on "edit html", then scroll down a short way past the variables section. when you see this:
body {
fill that background field in with whatever color code you want. FFCC33 equals yellow, FFFFFF equals white...
and here's a chart of the codes:
gosh, thanks sooo much!
i've been loooking for a way to 'spice up' my blog (i'm just starting), but i'm more on the minimalist side and i hadn't found anything appropriate.. thanks again!
ps; i love your blog, i'm thinking of doing my own little WOH when i get my new machine to keep my mind off some particularly crappy things :D

Fishing with Buddies is a 5 reel (non-progressive), 20-payline, Playtech Video Slot. It comes with a wildSymbol, scatter symbol and has a maximum jackpot win of $250.
There's nothing better than a lazy summer morning in the countryside, where you can find lots of lakes, rivers and streams to spend a whole day fishing and enjoying time with your friends, right? If this is your cup of tea, and you also like multi-player online slots, then there's a perfect combination for you embodied in Playtech's new release – "Fishing with Buddies".
The five-reel, 20-payline title has been off to a shaky start, as many Playtech casinos that offer it have a technical glitch in the game, but after those errors are ironed out, we hope to see the game appear in its best light. And it's truly a cute game, which involves five bears, fishing buddies who have gone to their favorite spot to spend some quality time together and engage in their favorite pastime. They're lazy and may occasionally fall asleep, so you need to wake them up by spinning the reels which shake their fishing pole. Speaking of the reels, you'll find lots of hooks, buckets, crabs, as well as some poker symbols; apart from these, there are special features to keep you entertained: wilds, scatters, and two bonus rounds, all of which may bring you some nice prizes, with a bit of luck.
As for the size of bet you can choose, it's another aspect that has not been quite clarified and needs Playtech's attention. Namely, some casinos only offer two coin sizes – 1 cent and 5 cents. Others offer a bigger range, from 1 cent to 20 cents (but the game is often unavailable in those places), so it remains to be seen what the final bet range will be. One thing's for sure – it's gonna be affordable, especially having in mind that five wilds on a line can bring you a massive payout of 5000x line bet.
Then, we have a super cute Fish a Crab feature, activated when the Crab symbol appears on the top row of the reels and directly below your bear avatar (which you choose at the beginning of the game). Here you can win 5x the total bet with the help of your selected bear, who will cast his fishing line and pull up the crab, bringing you the cash prize.
Then, there's the Scatter symbol which awards a bet multiplication when two or more of them appear anywhere. Finally, we have a lucrative two-stage bonus feature which is awarded randomly and is triggered at the same time for all qualified players (the way to qualify is to play as fast as you can - the faster you play, the deeper your bear's line goes in the bonus screen above the reels; and if you stop spinning, the line will go up and once it's at the top, your bear will fall asleep and won't be able to qualify if someone hits the bonus round).
Now, at the beginning of the bonus round, fish start swimming in all directions at the different levels of water – so they get caught by the bears' lure and the corresponding player gets a cash prize. Also, it's worth keeping in mind that the deeper the fishing line in the bonus round, the bigger the cash prize. 1 to 3 of the fish that appear in the first bonus round stage are goldfish and each player can only catch one goldfish. If any of the players' bears have caught a goldfish by the end of the first stage, the second bonus stage will begin. Then, each of the bears with a goldfish will release the goldfish back to the water and get an additional cash prize in return. All in all, a great amount of money's to be won if you get lucky and activate the feature!
The general impression left by "Fishing with Buddies" is a good one, if you get to play it. It covers all the important aspects of multi-player slots, including socialization through chat and joint bonus round with big prizes. It just needs the glitches to be dealt with, and it'll be the game to enjoy and turn to whenever you get the sudden urge to enjoy nature.

For over 13 years, the Afghan Institute of Learning has offered computer classes to those who do not know how to use computers. Following is the story of one student:
"My name is Besmellah. I am 20 years old. I want to thank AIL Office and all its staff members. Whatever we learn is due to AIL and my teacher's hard work. I learn computer in this center and before getting admission to the computer class, it was very difficult for me to work on computer and thought I would never be able to learn computer. However, now I can solve even difficult tasks on the computer because it is said, "Life is struggle and when we stop struggling, we have to get ready for death." Yes we have to struggle, but besides this we need a guide and a teacher. I found my guide which is the AIL Office which helps many learning centers to work for the people who suffered a lot of pain and difficulties for years. I wish AIL success of the whole world."

Android: Requesting root access in your app
This snippet shows how root access can be requested inside an application in order to write a file into a place we do not have permission to access usually. Requesting root access will only work if your phone allows it, or it has been 'rooted' (hacked to allow superuser permissions).
Process p; try { // Preform su to get root privledges p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su"); // Attempt to write a file to a root-only DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(p.getOutputStream()); os.writeBytes("echo \"Do I have root?\" >/system/sd/temporary.txt\n"); // Close the terminal os.writeBytes("exit\n"); os.flush(); try { p.waitFor(); if (p.exitValue() != 255) { // TODO Code to run on success toastMessage("root"); } else { // TODO Code to run on unsuccessful toastMessage("not root"); } } catch (InterruptedException e) { // TODO Code to run in interrupted exception toastMessage("not root"); } } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Code to run in input/output exception toastMessage("not root"); }
Where my "toastMessage" is just a function which creates a toast to display on the screen. On phones with superuser permissions installed (root access) this will display a dialog asking the user to allow or deny the application permission to have root access:
'root access dialog' is made by you?
or, made by android system?
if app requires root permissions
then automatically show up 'root access dialog'?
IOException raised when write a file into a place we do not have permission(ex : /system/sd/)
and app finished..
not show 'root access dialog'
i want make app writing a file into /system/
help me.. -
WeldFire permalink
Hello Mat,
You say you can use this method to "write a file into a place we do not have permission to access usually" do you have to try and copy files using os.writebytes()? or just a FileOutputStream? -
Rocker permalink
Thank you Mat. I tried to modify the hosts file but not success.
String cmd = String.format("echo %s >> /etc/hosts\n", entry);
os.writeBytes(cmd);Do you have any idea?
Thanks, -
juwon permalink
I have an huawei ascending 2 and it says I don't have root access what app can I install dat. allows this. permission my email is email@example.com contact me if u have any information
Jonathan permalink
Is there also a way to make the app detect when superuser permissions have been denied? Currently this code doesn't seem to test that possibility.
Nice info but how to make your jni (C Function) run as root?
Have something like this in my code.
Process p;
try {
// Preform su to get root privledges
p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su");// Attempt to write a file to a root-only
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream( p.getOutputStream() );
os.writeBytes( "echo \"Do I have root?\" > /data/temporary.txt\n" );// Close the terminal
try {
if (p.exitValue() != 255) {
// Code to run on success
tv.setText( stringFromJNI() ); // This function returns with permission denied error.
else {
// Code to run on unsuccessful
tv.setText("not root");
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// Code to run in interrupted exception
tv.setText("not root");
} catch (IOException e) {
// Code to run in input/output exception
tv.setText("not root");
} // end SU blockI have the file created in /data folder but I guess that echo runs in a child shell whereas my jni lib gets loaded an android app env. How to make sure that the jni code runs in super user mode as well?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to run ubuntu-linux in andriiod but at command propmpt when i give "su" command the error message "permission denied" please help
Frank permalink
Great Post!
I use it to change the rights to a file and then read/write in normal way:
os.writeBytes("chmod 777 " + PROPERTY_FILE + "\n");

Earlier this week we reported on our survey of fundraisers' appraisals of the fundraising prowess and commitment of their CEOs.
Our fundraisers gave their CEOs pretty low grades!
We asked whether some independent party like Charity Navigator or the Better Business Bureau should rate nonprofit CEOs and Boards — 35% said yes to that idea; but 23% said no, and 42% were not sure.
Warned one pundit: "They haven't figured out how to accurately and fairly rate non-profits, I wouldn't sic them on CEOs." And: "But NOT the BBB, please – are you kidding?!" And: "CN and BBB already fail at rating nonprofits by using a one size fits all approach and I shudder at what they would consider appropriate for CEO and Board evaluation."
And finally: " I am all for having independent reviews of nonprofit organizations. However, I do not believe Charity Navigator or the BBB are sufficiently knowledgeable or qualified in this area. Perhaps AFP or the Center for Philanthropy at IU would be better qualified."
OK, point taken!
However, that aside, we received a heap of comments on that question, which included these interesting suggestions:
"Each organization needs an 'enhance the CEO's fundraising abilities' plan."
"Are they truly living up to their expectations and what they have said they would accomplish? The board really needs to look, see, and understand what's going on internally at the organization."
"It's a complex question. I think discussions around authentic '360 degree accountability' are important, but in practice not always effective, so exploration of independent ratings (whether by a foundation, the better business bureau, or even state/national nonprofit associations) may be in order."
"Boards should evaluate the CEO, but need to know the true picture; most of them don't. It would be great to have an outside evaluator of boards, but who that would be is a huge question."
"CEOs need to have concrete written objectives their board hold them accountable to measure their performance. As it stands now, most boards aren't holding the CEO accountable and base their performance on how well they like them vs. how well they're leading the organization."
"I like to believe that if we educate our donors about what high functioning organizations look like and give them a ruler by which to gauge the other organizations they support, the informed donor will evaluate with their giving. But then again, I was convinced the recession would result in a "thinning of the nonprofit herd" and that obviously hasn't happened."
"Our CEO has a phenomenal understanding of our mission and purpose, and constantly steers the organization in programmatic directions that prioritize mission over everything else. If there were some way to qualitatively assess the CEO's commitment to an organization's purpose, I think it would be the truest test of their value as a leader."
"It would be great for leadership to hear honest evaluative feedback from development staff–but, admittedly, this seems like a Catch-22. If the leadership is open and collaborative and willing to listen to staff feedback, they are probably doing a pretty good job supporting fundraising. If the CEO/Board are not open, staff will not be willing and/or able to provide honest feedback, either for fear of reprisals or because the institutional culture is such that the CEO/Board literally doesn't make an effort to listen to their development staff."
"Results are the best indicators of performance, and these results would include: sustainability of programs, number served by the organization, board engagement, staff turnover, among other factors."
"Benchmarking other organizations with similar missions."
"National fundraising bodies – like CASE, AFP, Institute of Fundraising (in UK) should do this, surely!"
"The association, Maryland Nonprofits, has a 'Standards for Excellence' evaluation tool that incorporates board governance and staff management."
"360 reviews."
"Doesn't AFP have a set of standards for this type of evaluation?" [We're checking.]
So, there's both a question of what standards to use, and who should apply them. Even though there's a great deal of skepticism expressed about their ability to do the job, most respondents do seem to believe CEO evaluation is a prime Board responsibility. The skeptics question Board independence ("the CEO really runs the show") and the Board's informed competence.
Typical of that viewpoint:
"I like Kim Klein's idea of throwing out the entire volunteer board management structure and replacing it with something revolutionary and better. If we had a credible board structure of seasoned, committed professionals in charge to begin with, it would be easier to rate them. As it is, their skills sets are all over the map, and being on a charity board is always far down the list when it comes to a person's life priorities (their families and real jobs come first and, moreover, they should)."
Where does that leave us?
Some fundraising-related entity needs to develop the "Gold Standard" set of CEO evaluation criteria and recommend a methodology for applying them. Maybe some kind of "independent auditor" should do the task, reporting to the Board directly.
Does any reader out there believe your nonprofit has nailed this? Speak up.

Meeting for the first time since last week's annexation of Crimea by Russia, Group of Seven leaders said they won't attend the planned G-8 meeting which was to have to been held in Sochi, site of the Winter Olympics, and will instead hold their own summit in June in Brussels.
"We remain ready to intensify actions including coordinated sectoral sanctions that will have an increasingly significant impact on the Russian economy, if Russia continues to escalate this situation," the G-7 said in a statement e- mailed after a meeting in The Hague today.
Both sides in Ukraine's crisis spent the day calculating what to do next, with Russia consolidating its control over Crimea and massing forces along the border with Ukraine in the most serious confrontation between Moscow and the U.S. and its allies since the demise of the Soviet Union.
"We're united in imposing a cost on Russia for its actions so far," President Barack Obama told reporters in Amsterdam earlier today at the start of a six-day trip that includes a nuclear-security summit in The Hague and a meeting with the heads of European Union institutions in Brussels.
Putin's Absence
The G-7 — the U.S., Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, Canada and Japan — went back to its Cold War-era format, suspending what became the G-8 in 1998 when Russia was welcomed in. The group was all smiles around a Putin-less conference table in a photo posted on Twitter by European Commission President Jose Barroso, who attended along with EU President Herman Van Rompuy.
"It's Russia that needs to change course," U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron told reporters.
U.S. and European warnings focused on potential military moves by the Kremlin into Russian-speaking areas of eastern and southern Ukraine, leaving open whether the West hopes to dislodge Putin's forces from Crimea, a Black Sea peninsula dominated by Russia since the 18th century.
The U.S. has imposed asset freezes and visa bans on 31 Russian and Ukrainian political and business figures close to Putin and barred Bank Rossiya. The 28-nation EU has put 51 on the blacklist, including some on the U.S. list, while stopping short of punishing businesspeople.
No Accident
"The current sanctions are still too little to matter, but that's not by accident -- it's by design," said Fredrik Erixon, director of the European Centre for International Political Economy in Brussels. "The EU and U.S. are sitting on weapons of mass destruction when it comes to Russia's economy. The U.S. and EU are laying out possible step-by-step economic sanctions that will start rolling into place if Putin doesn't behave."
U.S. and European officials said sanctions are already biting. Russia's Micex stock index has plunged 14 percent this year, faring worse than the 5 percent decline of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The ruble has dropped 8.9 percent, making it the second-worst performer against the dollar among 24 developing-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Investors pulled out $5.5 billion from Russian equities and bonds this year through March 20, already approaching the total outflow of $6.1 billion for the whole 2013, according to data compiled by EPFR Global, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based firm tracking fund flows.
'Flagrantly Violating'
"As long as Russia is flagrantly violating international law and the order the G-7 has helped to build since the end of the Cold War, there's no need for the G-7 to engage with Russia," Deputy U.S. National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters.
Russia wants Ukraine to adopt a federal constitution that guarantees political and military neutrality, grants powers to Ukrainian regions and makes Russian a second official language. In a nod to those concerns, the G-7 urged Ukraine to undertake "broad-based constitutional reform, free and fair presidential elections in May, promotion of human rights and respect of national minorities."
Putin didn't show his hand today, instead using a public appearance in Moscow to tout Russia's sporting prowess, urge more support for slopestyle and halfpipe snowboarding, and announce that the Sochi Olympics came in under budget.
Putin sent Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to The Hague for a 53-nation summit on the security of the world's stockpiles of nuclear fuel. Lavrov told reporters that Russia isn't "clinging" to the G-8 format, viewing the wider Group of 20 as the best forum for discussing global issues.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said there is no "political environment" for a G-8 meeting. G-7 foreign ministers will also skip a Moscow meeting in April, and G-7 energy ministers will consult on how "to strengthen our collective energy security," the G-7 said in the statement.

PASS Devices
I really think we as firefighters were duped with this PASS device idea. Fire Chiefs were told that they had to do something about fire ground accountability and someone came up with this two bit idea and the Chiefs blessed it and now we are all supposed to buy in to this? You have got to be kidding me. Could somebody please tell me of an instance where these devices saved a life?

Responsibility division between parents in rearing the children is one of the most important mexclusively take responsibility over making up their their mind on pragnancy are also responsible for upbringing of the children.However,I totally disagree with this idea for the reasons as follows.
For one thing, women are not the only ones to decide such an important matter.Marriage is a serious stuff stemming from close binding between two individuals.Therefore in a family ,husband and wife should talk to each other to decide on whether or not to have babies .It is responsibility of both parents
For another thing,if women are the only ones to decide on having babies ,not only them but their husbands also do have duty on rearing the children up.It is obvious that ,father plays an important role in a family.They provide a considerable source of financial support to feed a family and the childrens education.Furthermore,beside mother,the children also need their father by their side.If mother teach them how to be nice and live harmony with others with her delicacy,father will be the one to make them strong and brave individuals as well as protect them from the outside world.Thus,men should share responsibilities with women in rasing the children.
From what has been discussed above,I reach a conclusion that father plays an equally important role in a family.Upbringing the children should not be mere taken by the women who solely decide on having babies but men also do because they supply with support in terms of emotion and finance.

Sea-Tac Refuelers Threaten Strike Over Safety, Worker's Suspension
Despite the strike threat, representatives for the Port of Seattle and Alaska Airlines, an ASIG customer, said they expect no service disruptions.
Oct. 04--Workers for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport's largest aircraft-fueling contractor marched with supporters to the company's office Wednesday and threatened to strike over the suspension of a co-worker and safety concerns.
In a protest largely organized by Working Washington, about 50 marchers called for ASIG, Airline Service International Group, to reinstate fueler Alex Popescu, who said he was suspended three weeks ago over his safety complaints.
Despite the strike threat, representatives for the Port of Seattle and Alaska Airlines, an ASIG customer, said they expect no service disruptions.
ASIG has assured Alaska that managers and fuelers from other cities can maintain service at Sea-Tac, said Alaska spokeswoman Bobbie Egan.
"They have an outstanding safety record and a track record of addressing any safety (issues) brought to their attention. We will rigorously investigate the allegations ... and get to the bottom of it," Egan said.
"Safety is our No. 1 priority every day ... we hold our vendors to that same standard."
Egan said ASIG told the airline Popescu was suspended not over safety complaints but because of an unrelated violation of workplace policy.
ASIG, one of two Sea-Tac fueling contractors, works with 75 percent of airlines there, including Alaska, United and Southwest. ASIG officials could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Popescu said ASIG ignored his complaints or didn't adequately repair problems like bad brakes on fuel trucks and small leaks during fueling.
Several ministers stood among protesters who held big photos of allegedly unsafe ASIG equipment, including a picture showing a truck gearshift panel once held in place with electrical tape.
"They fixed it; they put duct tape on it. I drove it yesterday," fueler Dale Redman chimed in.
Popescu said brakes on a truck were fixed only after he reported the problem to the Port of Seattle Fire Department. He was suspended, he said, after complaining about a truck whose drive shaft fell to the tarmac on a ramp where planes are fueled.
Port spokesman Perry Cooper said the Port investigated safety concerns raised by Popescu and others at a Port Commission meeting in August that were mostly less serious: "We didn't see anything ... alarming or out of line that they weren't able to address."
Cooper said the Port's fire chief monitors fueling systems, and any fuel spill is supposed to be reported to the fire department.
"We demand that he get his job back," Michael Ramos of the Church Council of Greater Seattle said. "... He deserves the respect and the dignity to get his job back and get a merit pay and merit reference for having spoken up."
The protesters marched to ASIG's Sea-Tac management office and knocked on the door but no one answered. They left an enlarged copy of a letter asking for Popescu's immediate reinstatement with back pay and immediate steps to improve safety.
Fuelers, who according to Popescu and Redman are paid $10 an hour, are not represented by a labor union. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), primary organizer of Working Washington, has helped in a campaign for higher pay for some 2,800 airport workers, and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is working with cabdrivers serving the airport and elsewhere.

Cheetah Sets New World Speed Record
Sarah, an 11-year-old cheetah at the Cincinnati Zoo, set a new world speed record this summer during a shoot for National Geographic magazine. She first earned the title of world's fastest land mammal in 2009 when she covered 100 meters in 6.13 seconds, breaking the previous mark of 6.19 seconds set by a male South African cheetah named Nyana in 2001.
On June 20, 2012, Sarah shattered all 100-meter times when she posted 5.95 seconds. By comparison, Sarah's 100-meter run was nearly four seconds faster than the world's fastest man, Usain Bolt of Jamaica, whose fastest time for the same distance is 9.58 seconds. Sarah's top speed was clocked at 61 mph.

Circulating RANKL/OPG in polymyalgia rheumatica. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17888221 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether RANKL/OPG balance is modified in PMR patients, either in the active phase of the disease or during corticosteroid treatment. METHODS: Circulating levels of RANKL and OPG were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in PMR patients with active untreated disease and in patients treated by corticosteroids over a 12-month follow-up period. RESULTS: We found no statistically significant differences in circulating levels of OPG between PMR patients either in the active phase of the disease or during all follow-up period compared to normal controls. On the other hand, systemic production of sRANKL is increased and is not modulated by corticosteroid treatment. CONCLUSION: In PMR increased levels of sRANKL may be related to bone osteoporosis. Further investigations are necessary to evaluate the relationship between the RANK/RANKL/OPG system and bone turnover in PMR patients. |

AM Alert: Is this the week California gets a new water bond?
For several dry-sky, crop-withering months, we have been hearing about a water bond.
It's a matter of utmost urgency, lawmakers say, given the drought devastating California. On the need for a new water bond there is agreement. On what it should contain or how big it should be, not so much.
Gov. Jerry Brown detailed a $6 billion plan last week on his campaign website, prompting criticism from Republicans that more money is needed. Senate Republicans released a new $8.7 billion dollar blueprint, prompting criticism from Democrats that the GOP already rejected a proposal with ample storage money. Environmentalists weighed in with a $6 billion pitch. The Association of California Water Agencies and the Nature Conservancy circulated a poll saying the $11.1 billion bond currently on the ballot (it was approved by the Legislature back in 2009) is doomed.
All the while, the election draws closer. While deadlines are ultimately arbitrary given the Legislature's ability to waive them, legislators have made mid-August the latest drop-dead target. A few people are hopeful a deal emerges by the end of the week. The ever-shifting debate so far should make you skeptical of that claim, but we'll be watching.
VIDEO: Perpetually campaigning lawmakers have more than just passing bills on their plates these days, Dan Walters says.
NEW UNIFORMS: Military service is hard work. So is transitioning back to civilian life. Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, and Secretary of the California Department of Veteran Affairs Peter Gravett will talk about hiring female veterans during an event to give away used professional clothes to returning vets. Also expected to attend are Assembly members Shannon Grove and Kristin Olsen. Starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Department of Veterans Affairs building on O street.
PLACE YOUR BETS: Gambling pacts between American Indian tribes and the state have spurred controversy recently, including a referendum seeking to nix a casino deal with the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians. Today the Assembly Governmental Organization Committee will examine a proposed deal with the Karuk Tribe. Brown signed the agreement late last year but the Legislature still has to ratify it, so this hearing comes ahead of an expected Assembly floor vote (the Senate already had a preliminary hearing ahead of an anticipated vote) on Senate Bill 1224.

In plaintiff's suit against its former employee and his new employer (a competitor) claiming breach of noncompetition and confidentiality clauses in the employee's employment contract, interference with contractual relations, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair trade practices, denial of plaintiff's request for preliminary injunction to enforce the provisions of a one-year noncompetition clause in the employment agreement is affirmed as the district court did not abuse its discretion by finding that plaintiff has failed to make a showing of likelihood of success on the breach of contract claim, or a likelihood of irreparable injury.

As Dec. 21 End Of World Nears, Men Regret Not Having More Sex (Really)
One in five Americans are concerned that the world will come to an end on Friday.
Please, world, take this 20 percent with you when you leave.
But seriously, a Harris Interactive poll commissioned by California online data-storage company Backblaze finds that Americans are indeed idiots:
Not only are 1 in 5 of us "somewhat concerned" about a Dec. 21 apocalypse, but nearly 70 percent are worried about losing digital copies of family photos if the lights go out permanently on Friday, according to results sent to the Weekly and other outlets.
Don't fret people: God tells us you can take your iPhones with you. (And, regardless, this doesn't get you out of having to buy us a gift for Christmas).
The online survey of 3,036 adult Americans this month asked about their end-of-world regrets too:
One in 4 men said they would regret not having more sex if the world does end. Only 1 in 10 women expressed the same sentiment.

Google: In Future, Pages With Bad Mobile SEO Won't Rank As Well In Mobile Search
Is your site not doing a good job for mobile visitors? Better get that fixed. Sites with mobile experience issues won't rank as highly in Google's mobile or smartphone search results, in the future.
Bad Mobile Site? Fewer Smartphone Search Rankings, For You
Google's Yoshikiyo Kato and Pierre Far said about the change in a blog post today:
To improve the search experience for smartphone users and address their pain points, we plan to roll out several ranking changes in the near future that address sites that are misconfigured for smartphone users.
They followed by sharing two common mobile configuration mistakes of many and suggested these search ranking changes will help import the smartphone search experience for Google users.
Faulty Redirects
The first issue is called a "faulty" redirect, when a page listed in search may redirect all smartphone users to the same single mobile page, rather than to a mobile-optimized version of the page they're after:
Smartphone-Only Error
The second common mistake is that smartphone users, when trying to access a web page listed in search, get an error and nothing listed.
Optimizing For Mobile
Google also says that if you properly configure your mobile friendly pages, it will "improve the mobile web, make your users happy, and allow searchers to experience and experience your content fully."
For more on mobile SEO read our Google mobile SEO recommendations story and our Google Mobile category.
SMX Advanced is the only conference designed exclusively for experienced paid search advertisers and SEOs. You'll participate in experts-only sessions and network with fellow internet marketing thought leaders. Check out the tactic-packed agenda!

Watch this 1 minute video on how to add Google Fonts to your website. This Video Isn't meant to show those who already use Google Fonts anything new. This is meant for those who may have just discovered Google Fonts but not yet know/understand how to implement them
Read MoreFor many of you out that who are still wondering "why should I use Google fonts" or even "what are web fonts?" well this article will go over some of the very basic yet essential reasons to start using them.
For the Longest time the web was lacking when it came to the selection of fonts that could be used safely on the web. When I say safely I mean that you could use only the fonts that someone had installed on their computer on your website. This was a problem that went unsolved for many years and many designers learned to deal with it but were always left wanting.
The main alternative that web designers had when working with non web safe fonts was using images. There are many reasons why using images for font replacement was bound to fail. Images will weigh down your website, will not translate to other languages and are bad for Search Engine Optimization. Designers learned to bite the bullet when using images as font replacement for the sake of beauty. For years this was standard that is until web fonts came into the picture.
There are many different varieties of web fonts and for more of an overview of the options visit this article: How Google Fonts Stack Up With Other Web Font Services To put it simple what Google fonts now allows is for web designers and web developers to create websites, web applications, blogs, etc. with fonts that people don't need to have installed on their computers. Using a very simple process of linking to one of Google's fonts in their library, you are able to display a beautiful custom font throughout the interwebs!
Read MoreHave multiple Google Fonts that you want to use on your site? This is a nice way to use multiple fonts with out making multiple link requests. Making multiple requests can slow down your website loading time. To avoid this, try to use this format:
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Google Fonts Name 1 | Google Fonts Name 2 | Google Fonts Name 3
Read More
Google has laid out a very fine tuned process of picking the best fonts for the job. With its new layout you can do so much more with one of the coolest innovations that I've seen on the web in a while. Visit the Google Fonts 2 beta by clicking the link at the bottom.
When you first visit the new site you will be presented with so many new features and options for testing and rendering your font choices.
On the left hand side you will see how many fonts are currently available. Below that there is a convenient search box for those who know the name of the font they are looking for. Below that is probably my favorite new feature which is the Filters section. The Filters section lets you search by Serif, Sans-Serif, Display and Handwriting fonts. This will be very useful with the ever growing number of Google fonts to sort through. Below that is another nice shortcut feature that allows you to narrow down your search even more by allowing you to search by thickness, any thickness, Ultra-light, Light, Book…etc.
Google has also increased the number of supporting languages by adding: Cyrillic Extended, Greek Extended, Latin Extended and Vietnamese.
Now shifting your focus the right hand side of the screen you will see three tabs at the top: Word, Sentence and Paragraph. Each of these tabs let you see how your fonts look up-close, in a single sentence and its full context in a paragraph.
You can now preview a user specified word or sentence to see how the font will look using just the content you provide. You can also be very accurate with your font selection by adjusting the font size to match the size that you will be using it at. The last dropdown box offers up some more features for those of us who can't get enough control. The Sorting dropdown allows you to organize the list of fonts shown by Alphabet, Date added and Number of styles.
Last but not least, Google now allows you to create your own collection of fonts! This will be very useful in helping narrow down your font options without forgetting which ones caught your eye. Also this new feature will make downloading your font stacks a breeze!
There is one more cool feature that you will see once you click the "Use" button. I will leave that for you to discover.
Over all Google Fonts 2 gets a +1 for this new interface!
Read MoreBelow Is an overview of the top web font services written by Sylvia Egger of sprungmarker.de. There was no overview for web fonts so he decided to make one… he will be updating this and keeping it up to date and accurate.
Read MoreBeing able to add Google Fonts to any website is pretty awesome. If you are like me though and are working on and viewing websites from a PC, you might have a different view on that. The way that a PC renders a font can be very different from the way a Mac does. If you are on a PC you may have noticed that your fonts look very pixelated no matter what browsers you look at them in. I recently found a way around this by adding this little hack.
h1 {
font-family: "Google Font", serif;
text-shadow:0 0 1px transparent;
By adding a 1px shadow to your fonts you can easily mask that ugly pixelated look.
Just came a crossed a pretty awesome plugin for those of you who use WordPress and don't want to manually add your Google Fonts to the CSS. The name of the plugin is WP Google Fonts and I just used it on googlefonts.com and it worked without a hitch.
To Install
While Logged into the back end of WordPress click the plugins link on the left hand side and do a search for WP Google Fonts it should be your first option to download. Click the "Install Now" link below the Title, once you've installed it, it will display a screen asking if you would like to activate plugin or return to plugin installer, Click "Activate Plugin". Once done, you will see the new plugin "Google Fonts" appear on the left hand "Settings" panel.
My take on the Plugin
Well, right off the bat I was pretty impressed by the simple layout and how it let you easily select which elements you want to target with a specific Google Font, using a checkbox. Immediately after, clicking the "Select Font" drop down menu, it had me wishing it displayed the actual Google Font for each font name. Although at the very bottom they do provide a chart of available fonts that you can choose from and that seemed to suffice for me. Although I don't know how frequently the fonts are updated.
How to Use
Select your font from the "Select Font" Dropdown menu (you can reference the chart at the bottom to see what the available fonts look like).
Select the check box next to the elements you would like to target your font at.
(All, H1, H2, h3, h4, h5, h6, Block quotes, Paragraphs and Lists)
The Last Option is the "Custom Css" box this nice little option will let you target any other element that might not have been available for you to select using a checkbox. To do this, use the proper syntax:
#bodywrapper a { font-family: 'Coda', Arial, serif; }
Over all, pretty easy plugin to use and will be great for someone who might not be too familiar with editing the css or php manually. Thumbs up!
Also you can download it from http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-fonts/ directly and manually upload it.
Read MoreGoogle Font previewer can be a nice quick tool that lets you preview Google's Fonts in a custom sentence, so you get a better idea of how your exact content for your website will look. Using the font family drop down list you first select your font. Then you are presented with a slick slider that lets you adjust the font size. After that you select your variant i.e. Regular, Bold, Italic. A really nice feature that they offer is the Shadow option which lets you add a nice shadow to all of your text.
They offer some more quick and easy options like Transform, which lets you, set the css properties of text-transform using a quick and easy radio button. Same as The Transform option they offer the Decoration property to set an underline, strike-through or overline. Again, they make things so easy, with these Letter, Word and Line spacing options. Move the sliders until you get your desired effect, kinda awesome!
Once done adjusting, copy the tag and paste that in between the head tags of your Html… …. Then just copy the css styles: body {font-family: 'Allan', serif; font-size: 27px;…} and paste that into your css file. Good to go!

Breakthrough Price on Folding Travel Guitars!
Voyage-Air continues to rock the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) show with the announcement of two all-new acoustic guitars. Called the "Transit Series" guitars, these quality acoustic instruments feature the same hinge as used on all other Voyage-Air guitars - including the top of the line VAOM-2C, as used on stage by Rusty Anderson of the Paul McCartney Band!
Available in two models: the VAOM-02 'OM-style' and the VAMD-02 95% 'Mini-Dread style', these guitars are available with a slimmer, lighter backpack case that makes them the easiest-traveling full-size acoustic guitars on the market!
