A West Point man is turning his former life of crime into a motivational tool for young people in the community.
Dewayne White,44, spent more than 20 years of his life incarcerated, with convictions ranging from drug possession and grand larceny to burglary and aggravated assault of a police officer. Now, he wants to discourage kids from following in his footsteps.
"I was in the streets when the crack epidemic hit, and the whole world changed," White said. "At that time, West Point was one of the worst places for it, and I was right there in the middle of everything."
Since he was 19, White has spent most of his life incarcerated in the Mississippi Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. He was released in 2009, spent time with his family in Georgia, and returned to the Golden Triangle in March, looking for ways to give back to what he feels is a declining community he helped create.
"I wasn't satisfied coming back to a place where I was part of the cycle that created the problem," he said.
White, along with his family members and a few volunteers, started the Come Together Outreach in Columbus to bring community leaders together to find ways to stop violence and drug use among youth in the community. He's started a similar program in West Point, called Better Days Outreach, which will host its first meeting at 7 p.m. July 26 at St. Matthews Temple.
"The project is not about me or any church or organization," White said. "It's about putting forth an effort to make a change in the area we live in."
He said the program is not a racial movement, but a humanity movement. All community members are affected by violence and drug abuse, according to White.
"We shouldn't have to wait until we're sitting in the family section at a funeral before we care what's going on," he said.
White has also volunteered his time to the Clay County Drug Court. Drug Court Counselor Cindy Tidwell said White came to her a couple months ago and said he wanted to give back to the community.
"He's spoken to our group a couple times about his experiences," Tidwell said. "I liked that he's so open about his life and doesn't want to see other people make the same mistakes."
Tidwell said White's interest lies more in helping adolescents and youth. She said White has never turned the drug court down when staff asked him for help.
White said his passion for youth comes from having experienced abuse at an early age. He said when kids grow up with skeletons in their closets, they have to deal with them their entire lives.
"We help create the monsters we lock away and condemn," he said. "No child is born having filled out an application to be a criminal."

Photoshop CS5 for Photographers provides comprehensive Photoshop training targeting the needs of photographers. In this course, author Chris Orwig demonstrates the fundamental skills used to enhance digital photos, including managing and correcting color, sharpening, making selections and adjustments, retouching, and printing from Photoshop. In addition to teaching the techniques that enable photographers to refine and publish their photos, the course includes live-action segments that encourage thinking photographically and shooting with Photoshop's capabilities in mind. Exercise files are included with the course.
There is something that's incredibly invigorating about traveling. In this particular image, it was captured on one of my travels and while I really like this image, one of the things that I'm noticing is that it will be fun to work with the color. And what we're going to do here is take a look at how we can combine some of our other skills of selections and of masking, and combine those with making some color adjustments in order to improve this image in some subtle, yet perhaps significant ways. One of the first things that I want to do is I want to add to this golden light that we have here.
I love sunset light. I love the way it's lighting up these statues here, and this sculpture is actually 50 or 60 feet tall. It's really big, quite stunning. Let's go ahead and warm this up a bit. We'll do so by clicking on the Color Balance Adjustment in the Adjustments panel. And then what I want to do is, in my Midtones, I'll add some Red and some Yellows. In my Highlights, again I'm just going to add some Yellows and also some Reds. I'm going to exaggerate this just a bit, but I'm going to do this in order to illustrate this idea. What's happening is while the sculpture looks good, the background looks horrible.
So what we'll need to do, at this point, is to create a selection. While I have actually already created a selection using the Quick Select tool, and we're going to load that here and then take advantage of it. Let's navigate to Select and then choose Load Selection. From this contextual menu, we'll select the sky selection, and then we'll go ahead and click OK. Now if you haven't already created this selection, you're not able to load it this way. And if you're not familiar with how to create selections, go ahead and head on back to the chapter where we talk about making selections.
Yet, here what I want to do is focus in on once we have the selection, how can we then use that to enhance color? The next step is going to be to do something with this. In other words, I want to limit this adjustment, so it's not affecting the sky. In order to do that, all that we need to do is to navigate to our Edit pulldown menu, and then we're going to choose Fill. Next option is going to be to fill this with black, which will then conceal the edit from affecting the background. Click OK. All right! Well, now we're talking. Now this image is starting slowly to come to life. Let's deselect.
We'll do so by going to Select and choosing Deselect. Let's take a look at the before and after. Click on the eye icon. Here is our before. Click again. There is our after. I'll zoom in a little bit so you can actually see those characters there. Here we have our before and then after, just nicely lighting this area up. Let's say that what we would like to do is we want to mute out the Blues of the background. Well, how can we do that? Well, of course, we can use Hue/Saturation. Let's click on the Adjustment layer icon and choose Hue/Saturation, and then let's desaturate.
This time I'm going to desaturate all the way, just to illustrate how this next step will work. Well one of the things that you can do is you can actually use a mask you've already created in order to copy and paste that mask onto a new layer. The way that you do this is you hold down a shortcut key and then click and drag and you replace the Mask with the one that you have. Here's how it works. So on a Mac hold down Option. On a PC hold down Alt. Then click and drag this mask to the new layer.
Do you want to replace this one? Heck yeah. Click Yes. Well, now we have a Mask which is just desaturating these characters here. Well, that's the opposite of what I want. No big deal. All we need to do is to navigate to our Mask panel and then click on Invert. Well, now when I invert, you can see that what's happening here is this is affecting the background, and it's not affecting the characters, at least it's not affecting them that much, a few little areas, but for the most part it's just affecting the background.
Let's say that we want to change this. We don't want to completely desaturate a background. Double-click the icon for Hue/Sat, and that will then reopen this Adjustment panel where we can make these changes. So here what I'm going to do is simply just bring my Blues down just a bit. Again, I'm looking for a little bit more of a subtle tone in the background. I also want to do the same thing on the golden color on the statue. I'll click in Color Balance and here either modify my controls or simply lower the Opacity.
I'm just going to lower the Opacity a bit. And let's take a look at the before and after. We can do so by holding down the Option key on a Mac, Alt key on a PC, and then clicking on the Eye icon at the background layer. Here's our before, and then our after. Let me zoom in a little bit more so you can see this, and I'll reposition here. Here we have our before and then now our after. So in this case, these adjustments are subtle, yet nonetheless really help enhance the overall color in this photograph.

The James Brown Biopic Has a Trailer and the Real Music
Chadwick Boseman, who played Jackie Robinson in last year's poorly executed 42, is continuing his biopic rampage with Get On Up. It's the James Brown movie that'll say the word "funk" a dozen times for every white man involved in bringing it to the screen (three on the script, one — Tate Taylor of The Help — behind the camera)! But damn, with the actual James Brown songs plus Boseman's seemingly dynamite impression, we might end up with a film worthy of its legendary subject matter. (Food for thought, too: The first draft had 30 performance scenes.)
Captain America 3 and the motion picture sometimes referred to as Batman vs. Superman are hitting theaters on the same day in May 2016. Don't fight, dad and dad and dad! Especially when people are rushing to place bets on the winner this quickly!
In case you missed it and haven't been able to pinpoint that hole in your heart where joy should have been: Louie returns for Season 4 on May 5 after a bleak 19 months off the air. There'll be two back-to-back episodes each week for seven weeks.
Le1f performed on Letterman, which is awesome for Le1f, for Letterman, for YouTube, for the world, for the psychosphere.
Kristen Bell isn't against the idea of doing the Broadway version of Frozen.
Nothing Was the Same (About Drake's Big Ol' Smile Ever Again).
Hannibal Buress's Unemployable just got a 10-episode order at Comedy Central. Per Buress, it's "just me doing different jobs, a comedian version of Dirty Jobs. So it's just me working at a goat farm, I worked at a diner, I worked as a fortune teller — just me doing different jobs and then we recorded standup with me talking about these jobs at the Knitting Factory."
Want to read a couple thousand of J.K. Rowling's words about the history of the Quidditch World Cup? You can.
Lorde could've toured with Katy Perry but was like "meh."
J.K. Simmons is doing the new Terminator. What if it were J.K. Rowling, though?
The Grand Budapest Hotel comes with specific projection instructions. (None of which say you have to wear a bespoke bow tie before removing the film.)
And now to send you all out for a happy and healthful weekend:

LAKEGEORGE - John and PattiHevern of Pittsford, N.Y. stood in a long line of motorcycle enthusiasts that snaked through hallways at the Lake George Holiday Inn, waiting to register for Americade 2011.
The annual touring motorcycle rally, considered the largest of its kind in the world, began checking in pre-registered participants Monday, June 6.
The parking lot behind the Holiday Inn was a sea of motorcycles, and registrants had to wait up to an hour to get to the check-in tables due to the crowd.
But regardless of the wait, nearly all of the cyclists exhibited smiles, including the Heverns, who were chatting with others in line.
"Nine years ago, we specifically planned our wedding so Americade would be our honeymoon," Patti "P.J." Hevern said. "That's how much this Americade 'family' means to us," she said.
Since that year, the Heverns have developed deep friendships with the other Americaders, and they take interstate trips over the summer months nearly every year with about 20 Americaders from five other states, John Hevern said.
"We wait for this rally all year," he said.
Rally is an escape from routine
Behind the Heverns in line, Jeff and Sharon from Utica, riders in that city's Revelation Riders, a Christian Motorcycle Association chapter, chatted with other waiting bikers. Staying nights in a Warrensburg campground, it was their fourth year to attend the rally, Sharon said.
"Americade is how we spend our vacation - and it means no children for a week, no one to answer to," she said.
Jeff said he was looking forward to the various demonstration rides, with manufacturers offering rides on motorcycle brands he'd ordinarily never get his hands on.
"Also, Americade is incredible because of the sight of so many bikes in one area - it's just amazing, so beautiful," he said.

In St. Petersburg and Clearwater, you will find that life is all about the beach. Widely regarded as some of the best sand in the world and boasting more than 360 days of sunshine each year, it's no wonder we're famous for hosting so many laid-back beach bums. Put on some sunscreen and your best beachwear to see and be seen while soaking up the sun, sand, and surf lifestyle. You can also head downtown to experience the Burg's funky Bohemian art and restaurant scene. Hotels in Clearwater Beach put you close to the action, so you can embrace the area's swashbuckling spirit while enjoying the hottest local attractions and exciting nightlife.
After being drained by a day in the sun or dancing all night to a Latin beat, you will need a place to relax. Expedia has cheap deals on everything from upscale five-star hotels to boutique beach resorts.

Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Musharraf
Court Issues Arrest Warrant Against Musharraf
Washington Post Journalist Jason Rezaian's Trial Starts Today In Tehran
Unlock your personal NFL Now stream by signing in to NFL.com
A Pakistani court Friday issued a bailable arrest warrant against Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf, media reported. The special court, constituted to try the former army chief on charges of high treason, also rejected his application for permission to go abroad for medical treatment, Dawn online reported. A three-member bench, headed by Justice Faisal Arab, reserved its decision on the medical report of Musharraf.
The trial of Washington Post journalist Jason Rezaian, who is being held on espionage charges in Iran, is due to start on Tuesday. After 10 months languishing in the notorious Evin Prison, the Tehran bureau chief is set to face a closed door trial, according to a statement posted online by The Post's Executive Editor Martin Baron. He detailed the poor treatment Rezaian had received since his July 22, 2014 arrest — including being locked in isolation, denied medical care, and the inability to select a lawyer — and said the trial being "closed to the world" will not allow the appropriate scrutiny.
Actor Omar Sharif, who starred in Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago in the 1960s, has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. The 83-year-old star's agent confirmed the news to the Associated Press. It comes after his son Tarek gave an interview to Spain's El Mundo newspaper at the weekend. "It's difficult to determine what stage it's at," he told the paper. "It's obvious he'll never improve and it will get worse." Egypt-born Sharif won two Golden Globe awards and an Oscar nomination for his role as Sherif Ali in David Lean's 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia.
Audi has unveiled a new version of its R8 e-tron electric supercar concept at CES Asia Monday — it's still an extremely powerful, high-tech electric vehicle, but now it can also drive itself. The Audi R8 e-tron piloted driving concept, as it's called, has two electric motors, each with a 170kW power output delivering a total of 456 horsepower and jolting the car from 0 - 100 km/h (0 - 62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has proposed resuming peace negotiations with the Palestinians but with the initial focus on identifying those Jewish settlements that Israel would keep and be allowed to expand, an Israeli official said on Tuesday. Peace talks collapsed in April 2014 over Israeli settlement-building in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas Palestinians seek for a state, and after Abbas angered Israel by reaching a unity deal with the Islamist group Hamas in Gaza.
Perhaps no one will miss Mad Men more than the real-life mad men and women in today's advertising industry. When the hit series ended its seven-season run last week, Mad Men left the industry in a different place than it was in 2007, when Don Draper first quipped about selling happiness and love along with nylons. By using the advertising business as a backdrop for its painstakingly rendered journey into the past, the show had a marked influence on the way the public sees advertising and how advertising professionals see themselves. It's no surprise the show enjoyed a dedicated following among the men and women of the industry it chronicled. Three-martini lunches and smoke-filled board rooms may be relics of a bygone era, but today's ad professionals found plenty to relate to in the workplace dramas of Sterling Cooper's employees.

We're already beside ourselves with excitement at the news that we'll be exclusively live streaming the One Direction: This is Us movie premiere, and now we've found out that Will Best will be the host for the event, we've been pushed over the edge.
The fit presenter will be keeping us all up-to-date with every single bit of action from the red carpet on the night and he'll EVEN be chatting exclusively with Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan.
We're not jel. Not at all.
We couldn't wait to speak to Will about his super-important job as host, and, more importantly, whether he could see himself joining 1D as an honorary sixth member.
However, Will told us that he simply wouldn't have the stamina to be in a boy-band.
He said: "If I was in One Direction I would be terribly badly behaved. I would probably develop quite a severe sex addiction. Every girl I know would sleep with Harry Styles. Come on, you would!"
What's more, Will went on to tell us he worries he'd be bullied if he joined the band.
He said: "I think I would be bullied by the other members. There would be loads of lad banter and I would be on the receiving end of it. Plus, I can't sing and I can't dance. I definitely can't sing like an angel like Zayn can. And I don't think I am appealing enough to early teen girls. I'm more of a very old women type. Grannys think I'm a dish."
Despite fearing laddish banter, Will went on to tell us exactly what he loves about the gorgeous five-some.
He explained: "Zayn is the most beautiful. My friend is a re-toucher and she re-touched a lot of models, and in all of her years she has never had a face so perfect. He is the beautiful boy. Massive eyes in the right places. I'd love Harry's hair, Zayn's symmetrical face, Niall's personality and charm and accent, Liam's height and...er...leadership qualities?! And I'll have Louis' girlfriend because she is hot."
As for the live stream, it seems that Will's just as beside himself as we are.
[One Direction This Is Us live stream information]
[WIN the chance to appear on our One Direction premiere live stream]
[WIN tickets to the One Direction film premiere]
When we asked him just HOW excited he was about the whole event, Will said: "On a scale of one to 'I may have a little accident,' I am definitely going to have an accident."
He continued: "It's a big deal - I love those little b******s. I can't wait for the buzz, the noise of the crowd when the boys arrive - that moment - you won't be able to hear. It will be the loudest noise you have ever heard. I want to soak it all up, I won't wear ear plugs."

Microsoft originally promised that Windows 7 would be released within three years of Vista—which would put the release date in January 2010—but now the folks at Redmond have confirmed that Windows 7 (and Server 2008 R2) will officially be ready for the 2009 holiday season. We'd already heard plenty of rumors regarding the Windows 7 release date, and while almost everyone was positive that the shiny new operating system would be available in 2009, this is the first confirmation from Microsoft.

I had heard of this company, Make Your Own Jeans, from another website. I was tired of all the low rise jeans and wanted a couple pairs to sit on my real waist again. Too much to ask for? Apparently so as this company made me two pair of completely differntly sized pants. They did respond to my emails reqesting a return and refund for one pair. Their response was to tell me that they agreed thay had made them wrong and I could go someplace else and get them altered! When I declined to do that… Read Full Review

I ordered a linen jacket from these folks. Good points: The lining was of good quality, the workmanship of the sewing was excellent, and the sleeve length was correct. Bad points: None of the other measurements were correct. I had taken the measurements of my best fitting sport coat and sent it to them. The sport coat they sent back did not match these measurements. I took it to a tailer to see if it could be altered, but he told me the length was so short, the shoulders so wide, and the… Read Full Review

I ordered a pair of jeans for my hard to fit son. I had planned on ordering the first pair to see how it went, and then use or adjust that pair to order 4-5 more pairs for him. On their order form it flat out states: Are these body measurements or garment measurements? I said 'BODY MEASUREMENTS'. I wrongly assumed they would make the jeans to fit his body, not the physical SIZE of his body. They said in their documentation, tell us the body measurements and then how you want them to fit… Read Full Review

First pair of jeans I ordered were fantastic - fitted perfectly and exactly as requested. Thinking I was on to a great thing I placed another order worth almost $300. What a huge disappointment. One pair of linen pants were so big they looked like they were made for an elephant, and everything else was too tight. I checked all measurements against my order and it was as if they had ignored my measurements and just sent any old thing. They responded to my first email with a curt reply saying… Read Full Review

I was delighted to receive the first pair of jeans I ordered with makeyourownjeans.com. Tailormade and reasonably priced. They were a bit oversized, so figuring it was my own poor measuring, I ordered another - slightly smaller - pair. I expected it to fit perfectly. Can you imagine my dissapointment when I found out the second were too tight? I took the tape measure at hand and checked the measurements of both pants against the specifications. As it turned out, the first pair was delivered… Read Full Review

I purchased a suit which ended up costing upwards of $300. I got measurements professionally done and had them follow exactly to specifications. The suit came and it was skin tight, buckled strangely in front and could barely breath in it. I was really letdown and proceeded to contact the company, have sent 5 emails, received auto-response confirmations but never once received a reply. My emails were calm, respectful, and emphasized that I was willing to make a compromise. Worst experience with… Read Full Review

I had my credit card company dispute the charge with this company as I could not get them to refund me. They did email me responses offering to make me MORE pants for 30% off.

I was refunded my requested amount by my credit card company shortly after I presented my copies of the contact I'd had with Make Your Own Jeans.

Have ordered five pairs of pants from them and two had significant errors (in measurements, weight of material). Have found it impossible to get them to address these issues. They basically make it a huge hassle for you, then, ultimately, even when you do everything they ask to document the errors (send pictures, etc.), they just refuse to do correct the mistakes. In my 56 years, I've never had this experience with any other company. Very disappointing, and that's the polite word… Read Full Review

I sent measurements per their specifications. The jeans I got were 1/2″ to 3″ off in many areas.

I have bought several pairs of jeans through MYOJ. Each pair I adjusted the measurements a bit to improve the fit each time. I finally got the perfect fit. However, when I copied my perfectly fitting jeans and tried to buy two new pairs with the exact same measurements, I got jeans several sizes too small. They took a loose-fitting pair and made them so small I couldn't pull them up past mid thigh. They wouldn't respond to my emails for assistance and they don't take phone calls.

As the Senate Finance Committee prepares to vote Tuesday on its version of health care legislation, White House officials say they have momentum as the narrative shifts from whether a bill will pass to what it will contain.
But, even as conservative commentators admit that health care overhaul will happen, lobbyists are leading a final push to sidetrack the legislation.
A new report by health industry lobbyists at America's Health Insurance Plans, prepared by consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, concludes that health coverage costs for families would increase by 111 percent in the next 10 years under provisions proposed by the Senate Finance Committee. That means costs would jump, on average, to $25,900 for families by 2019, and to $9,700 for individuals.
But some experts say the report is flawed in many ways, pointing out that it does not take into account federal subsidies for lower-income families to help them pay for coverage. The report itself acknowledges that it doesn't account for the advantages the legislation hopes to achieve from an excise tax imposed on employers who offer high-cost insurance plans, saying that although "we expect employers to respond to the tax by restructuring their benefits to avoid it," the report does not factor in those hypothetical responses.
The White House assailed the report as inaccurate and biased.
"This is a self-serving report paid for by opponents of health reform and was prepared by a firm that specializes in tax shelters," said Linda Douglas, spokeswoman for the White House Office of Health Care Reform. "It ignores all cost savings in the bill, such as tax credits, and ignores the conclusion of nonpartisan government analysts, who found that it will cover 94 percent of Americans and help to reduce the deficit."
The bipartisan Congressional Budget Office last week gave the committee's bill something of a green light, saying that the legislation, devised mainly by Chairman Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., would cover 29 million uninsured Americans, ultimately achieving 94 percent coverage and costing a total of $829 billion over 10 years. President Barack Obama had set $900 billion as the acceptable threshold for health care legislation costs.
The White House desperately wants to be able to call the bill bipartisan and is doing everything it can to secure the support of Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, thought to be the only Republican on the Senate Finance Committee who might vote for Baucus' legislation.
Having struggled to get any current Republican officials to support Obama's reform efforts, the White House is now touting former GOP officials who are pushing for bipartisan compromise.
Dr. Louis Sullivan, former secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under President George H.W. Bush, told ABC News that the Senate Finance Committee's bill is more bipartisan, compared to the four other Democratic bills circulating in Congress.
"We need to come together towards the middle and this is what the Baucus bill represents," Sullivan said. "It represents a compromise that has elements that, indeed, I think all individuals, Republicans and Democrats, can support."
Even though he doesn't agree with all the provisions in the bill, Sullivan said it's time for Congress to push health care overhaul and pass a bill.

Re: Microsoft CRM V3
If you have access to the API (usually requires purchasing an upper level version of the product) you should be able to insert it in there pretty easily. There should be some documentation out there somewhere that will tell you how to do that.
I don't have time to check it out but, something like this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb928212.aspx may help

UHD MA in Teaching
UHD degree brochure for Master of Arts in Teaching
College of Public Service Master of Arts in Teaching Department of Urban Education Master of Arts in Teaching At the University of Houston-Downtown students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching degree in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction find they can continue to focus on the teaching they love while earning a graduate degree that will further their careers in the classroom. In order to meet the needs of children in urban schools, UHD graduate students acquire knowledge and proficiency in the characteristics and needs of learners in multicultural settings. They develop effective teaching practices that enhance achievement for all students regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity or native language. Graduate students learn to develop effective learning environments in urban classrooms and perform classroom-based research methodology to support "best" instructional practices. The degree also allows them to gain an enriched understanding of one of the following content areas--language arts, social studies, mathematics, technology, English language learners or natural sciences. UHD graduate students enrolled in this program take a capstone course. In the course, UHD students choose to conduct research, write position papers and develop grants that will add to the knowledge base of urban schooling. Those who are already teaching often choose capstone projects that help their schools and districts deal with current issues. Many UHD graduate students have served as mentors to UHD undergraduate teacher candidates and interns who are doing field work in their home schools. What Our Students Say "As a result of being a student in this program I have advanced my career and am currently a Department Chairperson and Curriculum Leader who supervises twenty-five other teachers in a 5A high school." --Cheryl Park "I was selected to be a district wide trainer for our bilingual teachers. I am excited to be one of two entrusted with this training responsibility. My school submitted and won the $25,000 Barbara Bush literacy grant. Parent education on home literacy interactions was one component of the grant, so I will be able to do my research on home literacy!" --Maria Tamez "My literature review assignment in the Introduction to Educational Research course led me to reconsider our district's curriculum sequence for Biology. I presented my proposal at the district department chair meeting. The change in sequence I proposed was approved. I fully believe it was the research I did that allowed for this change. Now all Biology students in the district will have a better opportunity to make connections to science content in ways that show direct impact in their world. Thanks for the opportunity to make a difference." --Jackie Nowlin Benefits of the Program Students work closely with expert faculty. UHD considers all applicants enrolled in the Master of Arts in Teaching Curriculum and Instruction program for an academic scholarship funded through the Gordon and Mary Cain Foundation.

The European Union agreed Tuesday to allow farmers hurt by the E coli food poisoning crisis to tap into a 210—million—euro (304—million—dollar) aid fund.
"This scheme ... will allow for the EU to pay producers for cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, courgettes, and sweet peppers that have been withdrawn from the market since May 26 as a result of the E coli outbreak in Northern Germany," the European Commission said in a statement.
Tuesday's announcement came after representatives of national EU governments had endorsed the 210—million—euro figure suggested last week by EU agriculture commissioner Dacian Ciolos.
German authorities on Friday confirmed that the E coli bacteria — which has killed at least 37 people and sickened thousands — came from bean sprouts, clearing cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes which were wrongly blamed before.
With the source of the contamination having been proved, Ciolos said he was "optimistic that consumption (of fruit and vegetables) will pick up very quickly" in Europe.
The commission said farmers will be able to claim up to 50 per cent of their losses, but indicated that the "final figure" will be confirmed only on July 22. Producers will be able to apply for help in the coming days, once the decision is published in the EU official journal.

David's Dish: Fried MeatballsSubmitted by Fun at Foster on May 22, 2014 - 11:17am
The International Meat Book by Carole Lalli is a wonderful collection of sixty of the world's favorite meat recipes. Choosing a recipe proved difficult for there are so many delicious dishes to pick from. Fortunately, I could not get the song "One Meatball" out of my head, and I had just finished reading Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs; consequently, I chose to prepare the fried meatball dish.
Preparation of the meatballs seemed straightforward—breadcrumbs, eggs, ground beef, and spices—but it was not without problems. I didn't have enough olive oil on hand, so canola oil was used as a substitute. I'm sure I'll be scolded at our upcoming olive oil tasting event, but the Dish has got to do what the Dish has got to do. Another issue was not making the meatballs uniform in size; I had some very large, robust meatballs and some little, lumpy meatballs. That just won't do!
But, even robust or little and lumpy, with some pasta and semi-homemade sauce the taste was superb. After I polished off the meatballs and pasta I did a rereading of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, then took a nap and dreamt I was in the wonderful tiny town of Chewandswallow. So, give the meatballs or any one of the terrific recipes in this cookbook a whirl!
*****David's Dish
Check out the book at Foster Library, or put it on hold—we will send it to you.
If there are any cookbooks in Foster Library's collection that you would like me to try out, please leave the title on our Facebook page and I'll get cooking!
National Geographic's "Really Wild Animals" DVD SeriesSubmitted by Fun at Foster on May 20, 2014 - 9:29am
Really Wild Animals is an excellent nature series from the always reliable National Geographic catalog. I picked up one video tape in the series at a local thrift shop and was impressed enough to track down several others in the Ventura County Library collections.
Though geared for young people, the beautifully-photographed and fast-paced footage will easily appeal to adults as well.
Everyone should be entertained by Spin, a jovial animated globe/planet Earth, who introduces and narrates each episode. Voiced by versatile British actor/comic Dudley Moore, Spin provides an energetic verbal flow of puns, wise-cracks, and, of course, information in a rapid-fire stream that both informs and entertains. This is definitely not one of those talking head (talking globe?) documentaries.
More information is provided by contemporary-styled songs which back up the animal footage.
Each episode explores a different natural environment. The library collection has nine volumes, including Polar Prowl and Deep Sea Dive. I especially enjoyed Totally Tropical Rain Forest and Wonders Down Under. The DVD versions also include bonus episodes and a few extras.
Online user reviews are mostly positive, and someone noted that "the DVDs are informative without being explicit. No zebras being eaten here!" Which is fine with me, though the concept of predator and prey and environmental threats are touched upon as well.
I see these DVDs as great for inspiring an early love and respect for the variety and wonder of the natural world and its amazing creatures. After all, more explicit reality will kick in soon enough.

Font to Film: "Clear and Present Danger"Submitted by Fun at Foster on May 15, 2014 - 2:27pm
In 1989, Tom Clancy brought back Jack Ryan, the hero of his earlier novel Patriot Games (1987), for a 700-page tome exploring the American war on drugs. Clear and Present Danger is a true doorstop of a book, featuring a large and potentially confusing cast of characters operating across continents in service of a mission about which few are in possession of all the details. The 1994 film version—starring Harrison Ford, Willem Dafoe, and Joaquim de Almeida—greatly simplifies the cast and plot while still managing to deliver a powerful and compelling story that covers much of the same thematic ground as its source material.
|Mustering up the will to crack open Clear and Present Danger can be tough, especially if you aren't used to novels of this size, but Clancy does a good job of starting strong with a series of compelling events that pull you into the plot immediately. What is less apparent from the start is how the various characters and settings are ultimately going to tie together, but the slow reveal there is, after all, part of the appeal of the genre. Our introduction to the novel's plot is the brutal murder of a family aboard their boat by two drug runners, an event which leads to the revelation that the boat owner was involved with laundering large sums of money for a Colombian drug cartel. The President of the United States decides on a course of action—motivated in no small part by an upcoming election—which is designed to curb the flow of illegal drugs into the country and involves a good deal of clandestine action abroad. When the cartel begins pushing back, things begin to unravel, and Jack Ryan is faced with the task of uncovering exactly what is going on and finding a way to minimize the damage as powerful political entities threaten to sweep the operation under the rug.
|The film version of Clear and Present Danger, directed by Phillip Noyce, is a pretty typical example of what tends to happen when a book is adapted for the screen: characters disappear or are merged, certain scenes and subplots are eliminated, and the story as a whole is somewhat simplified. However, the film is also an example of how these types of changes do not necessarily harm the final product. Noyce's version did not suffer as a result of its adaptation; the film was well-received, managing to adequately capture the essence of Clancy's original while accommodating the fundamental differences between the two formats. Harrison Ford gives a strong performance as Jack Ryan, shifting seamlessly between scenes of intrigue and action and ably supported by such talents as James Earl Jones and Raymond Cruz, in addition to Dafoe and de Almeida. And while simplified, the story holds its own as an entity independent of the book, and can be fully appreciated by audiences who are wholly unfamiliar with the original—something which cannot always be said of lazier adaptations. Simply put, Clear and Present Danger is not only good by the standards of adaptations, it is good by the standards of movies in general.
Tom Clancy's Clear and Present Danger is available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library in both book and audiobook (cassette) format, or you can download the eBook to your device through OverDrive. The film is also available at Foster as part of our first-floor DVD collection. If the version you are interested in is not on the shelf at your local branch, you can request for a copy to be delivered to your home branch in person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

Book Reviews!Submitted by Fun at Foster on May 8, 2014 - 12:52pm
Book reports and book reviews are similar. Book reports tend to be a little more descriptive: what is this book about, who are the characters, what are the plots, what is the conclusion? Book reviews are usually more persuasive: why should or shouldn't a reader read this book? Both offer a combination of summary and commentary.
For book reviews you want to provide basic information about the book, and a sense of what your experience reading the book was. You should include:
Analysis and Evaluation
Try to get the main theme of the book across in the beginning of your review so your reader knows right away if they want to read the book.
Next, analyze or critique the book. You can write about your own opinions, but be sure to explain and give examples. Don't try to summarize each chapter or every angle. Choose the main idea/ideas or characters that are most significant and interesting to you.
Some questions you might want to consider (you do not need to use all of these):
- Did the author achieve his or her purpose?
- Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, beautiful?
- What are the strengths or weaknesses of the book?
- What is your overall response to the book? Did you find it interesting, moving, dull?
- Would you recommend this book to others? Why or why not?
- You may want to say what impression the book left you with, or emphasize what you want your reader to know about it.
- While you're writing, try thinking of your reader as a friend to whom you're telling a story.
Book reviews of children's and young adult books by their readers are always welcomed and encouraged by library staff. Look for book review forms in many new books or ask our staff on the children's floor for one. We do ask that the book you review is age-appropriate (would your teacher accept this book for a book report?) and that it be a new book (from our new book shelves with a pink dot on it). To thank each reviewer for their input we will present them with a Hershey's candy bar. Only one book review per week, per reviewer please.
These book reviews help the library staff and your fellow readers as well. Happy reading!

Novelties: "The Martian," by Andy WeirSubmitted by Fun at Foster on April 28, 2014 - 9:30am
While it may be tempting to dismiss science fiction writing as somehow less relevant than other fiction due to its often speculative nature—dealing as it does with undiscovered worlds, unknown cultures, or fantastical technologies—the fact of the matter is that some of the best social commentary can be found in your library's sci-fi section. Going beyond the reality that we know gives us a chance to imagine how we would think and act in scenarios that would test us in ways we are unlikely to encounter normally, and the results of those tests tell us a lot about who we really are, both individually and as a society.
|In The Martian (2014), Andy Weir tells the story of Mark Watney, an astronaut who is part of a manned mission to Mars that is forced to terminate its stay early due to hazardous conditions on the red planet. In the course of their evacuation during a severe dust storm, Watney's suit is compromised, causing him to be left behind when all available information points to his already being dead. He recovers from his ordeal to find that the rest of the crew has left the planet and that he has no way of contacting them or Earth to request a rescue—perhaps a moot point since any rescue attempt would arrive too late to save him from starvation in any case. What unfolds is a story of survival, of Watney versus the Martian elements armed with only those supplies left behind by the crew and a wry sense of humor that keeps him going in the face of certain death. Written as a series of journal entries, this fast-paced novel manages to communicate the urgency driving Watney's predicament in a way that demonstrates his intellect and competence while maintaining a high level of suspense.
|Our next novel is also set on Mars, but not the desolate, unexplored Mars of the near future. Instead, Moving Mars (1993) shows us a planet long ago colonized by Earth and currently struggling to determine its destiny. Casseia Majumdar is a young Martian woman whose development is central to the story, as is the larger evolution of the Martian colony as a political entity. In the years since the planet was first colonized, Mars has become home to second- and third-generation Martians who wish to advocate for autonomy from an Earth that is increasingly hostile to Martian interests. This political drama is exacerbated by certain technological breakthroughs that threaten to fundamentally change the relationship between the two planets. Author Greg Bear creates a world rich with backstory and character development, and slowly—perhaps too slowly for some readers—brings the narrative to a boil. Winner of the 1994 Nebula Award, Moving Mars is epic in scale and a good selection for fans of hard science fiction.
|The second read-alike for this month is The Dog Stars (2012), by Peter Heller. Like The Martian, The Dog Stars is a story about isolation and survival; however, Heller's novel takes place not on Mars but on a plague-ravaged Earth. Set after not one but two superbugs wipe out the bulk of the population, the story is told by Hig, a former contractor and pilot living in an abandoned airport with his dog and a fellow survivor named Bangley. With Hig providing airborne surveillance and Bangley bringing tactical knowledge and firepower, the two have carved out a reasonably secure niche while remaining emotionally distanced from each other. When a traumatic event causes Hig to question his commitment to their day-by-day existence, he heads off in search of something he cannot name—meaning, redemption, or perhaps just something new. Heller uses his apocalypse to empty out the world so that he can examine the ways in which we might fill it again, and the result is an uplifting, if bittersweet, tale.
The Martian, Moving Mars, and The Dog Stars are all available to borrow at E.P. Foster Library. In addition, The Martian and The Dog Stars can be borrowed as eBooks through OverDrive. You can also access NoveList Plus from our eLibrary's Reading Suggestions section. If the book you are interested in is not currently on the shelf at your branch, you can always request that a copy be sent to the branch of your choice in person, over the phone, or online through our catalog.

Vader's Little PrincessSubmitted by Fun at Foster on April 23, 2014 - 9:18am
I'm sure many readers can relate to the joys and struggles of raising a teenage daughter, but imagine how challenging that would be if you were Darth Vader and your daughter was Princess Leia. Yes, Jeffrey Brown is back, with his take on life as a dad in the Star Wars universe in Vader's Little Princess. Readers will recognize familiar scenes, characters, and even dialogue as Vader struggles to raise his daughter from her precocious youth to her rebellious teen years.
Throughout the book, readers will sympathize with Vader (yes, you read that right) as he makes sure his little princess brushes her teeth, does her chores, and dresses properly (no slave-girl outfits allowed). He may be one of the most powerful Sith lords in the universe, but he's also just a dad. Granted, most dads don't have to deal with their daughters crashing their Imperial shuttle or blowing up the Death Star, but they can relate to a dad whose daughter is dating, talking on the phone (or in this case, a hologram) with her friends, and rebelling against her elders.
These one-page vignettes are funny, endearing, and very familiar to anyone who is raising, or has raised, a teenage girl, and you don't need to be a Star Wars fan to appreciate that.
