The only way you can help her is just be there for her and listen to her. That's it. You cannot make her press charges. That is something she has to decide on her own. It's easy for someone on the outside to pick away at the story and wonder why she didn't do various things that someone on the outside would think a "normal" person should do. In all honesty... people react to trauma in a whole different way than they would logically think they would when the scenario is just a theory rather than reality. People freeze up during trauma. Sexual violence is very personal and people worry about judgement or worse not being believed. Some feel they don't deserve to be treated better or do not know there are better ways to be treated. Survivors contrary to what it seems... are very intelligent. We know that if we tell our story that it would be picked apart and judged. And most the questions she will not know the answers to and has and will beat herself up for it. I do the same thing with my trauma. I relive it and keep saying... if only I did something different or trusted my instincts or sometimes I go even farther with it and think I'm a disgrace and pathetic for reacting the way I did but reality... is that I reacted the only way I could given the circumstances. And it's NOT wrong. It might not be logical to an outsider or even a secondary. But it is the only way I could. It was the only way she could. I survived. She survived! She lived through it. She will forever be marked by this. It changed her. However, it does not have to be for the worst. She just need to find healthy ways to deal with her trauma and the emotions and triggers and everything it comes with it. It is a battle she will wage on her own, but that doesn't mean she's alone. Supporting her is the best thing you can do. Just always be there and always be someone she can trust and it will help her tremendously. Trust is not easy for survivors. It is a sacred gift. Cherish that you are one she considers worth trusting. I wish you the best and hope you understand.
Thank you so much for reading and your advice! I'm afraid I have already tarnished the trust a lil bit. I got really angry as she was telling me this via Skype message. After we hung up I was enraged and in tears and couldn't sleep. I paced outside for like two hours teeth clenched along with my fists and almost every other muscle. I cursed at god and was so mad that he could let this happen to such a beautiful young woman. I found my self fantasizing about revenge. I just got back from visiting her this weekend. I told her everything I just told here. She felt really bad for making me so upset. This is not the first time I have been involved with someone that has been assaulted. My ex-gf was assaulted when we were at a party together. I felt the same way then. Anyways I have kind of diagnosed her myself from research I've done and she seems to be in the third stage of recovery. I have discussed this with her previously as well as prayed with her and just listened. This weekend while I was visiting her she made a comment or two about her ex "bf" and Oregon. I got angry again, not in front of her initially. I went outside to smoke. She eventually came out and we had a lil talk. I told her that he was not her boyfriend! (stupid right?) and she explained that to seem normal she had to call him that, which I could understatnd. I asked her to not use the word "bf" when talking about things with me. Is this wrong on my behalf? I also asked her to try and stop mentioning Oregon. I also told her that I want her to be able to talk to me about it, but to just give me a heads up so that I can get in the right mind state? Is all this okay? what do I do? Forgot to mention the next evening we got to talking about it some more and I showed her this site. I really hope she seeks some counseling as she feels no need to at this point.
It's okay to not want the assailant to be called boyfriend. I wouldn't press the issue though. I would rather not call my abuser my uncle, but... I will not say his name. Thank God it's so uncommon and old fashioned and stupid that I have not met anyone with that name. I'm incredibly biased I'm sure it would be a fine name if that psychopath didn't have it. My point being there needs to be some frame of reference that she's comfortable with. Right now she sees him as an ex-bf. It is a process to recognize that it was abuse and not a relationship. She was brainwashed and isolated from other people and if you can't trust people closest to you... well you cannot trust people who are strangers. That is the nature of the beast. I imagine her assailant was much like my uncle in several ways. That he was controlling and manipulative as well as highly charismatic. I loved my uncle. He is actually a likable guy. He won my affection the same exact way anyone else could. I trusted him with stuff I couldn't with my dad. We created a relationship. I do not remember when or how the abuse started so that's a mystery and one I honestly do not want the full scope of, but I do know he crossed the line. I do know he treated me like a secret lover. His "special boy." So, it did become toxic and abusive. I wasn't okay with it, but who could I tell? Everyone loved my uncle. I'm pretty certain he told me no one would believe me. He'd want me over a lot. He made me care about my cousins. If I didn't go over there I'd never see my cousins he had them isolated literally and in a way isolated me... only less literally. Eventually I did go home. He'd have my cousins call me and then he'd talk to me. He'd drop by my house with them. He'd seek me out at family functions. So even when he couldn't abuse me sexually he was still preying on me mentally and emotionally. I didn't have a lot of friends and the ones I did I wanted them away from my uncle and not know the sick stuff going on. My uncle made it seem like it was my fault. I imagine it works pretty similarly. That her assailant made her believe things that weren't true and isolated her or something to make her stay and believe she couldn't get free. He made her addicted to drugs which makes her dependent on him. It's a process realizing how wrong it was and that is was actually abuse. Lucky me... (not really) my memories were locked up so it's not something I had to deal with until recently.
It's perfectly reasonable to want a heads up, but what about something that triggers a memory or bad feeling/ thought from that time? That is random and happens any where. I'll be out with friends laughing and carrying on and someone will make a joke or gesture or hug me just a little too long for my comfort and bam my uncle is in my head again even though I haven't seen him in well over a decade! This will cause panic, nausea, difficulty breathing, and a long list of possible physical symptoms as well as emotional seemingly out of no where. It's harder when it's unexpected. Right now talking about my uncle I'm emotionally collected because I'm in control. Random thoughts and memories not brought on for a purpose... I tend to lose it real quick. It's something I think that is a real possibility and you should be prepared for. You both are going to have to navigate things.
Good to know that I'm not in totally in the wrong for her not to call him her "bf". I think she only does it to hide the fact of what happened to her around her friends and family. She would much rather them think that she was just young and stupid and in a bad relationship. She says that she does have flashbacks that are horrible and she feels like she is back in the place it happened. How can she or I help that? We went a little more in depth and detailed in her abuse this past weekend and I noticed that she was breathing very raspily. I think that might have been a panic attack...Then the next day we were at her friends house watching Special Victims Unit. I could tell she was upset b/c she buried her head in my chest and pretended to take a nap. I motioned to her friend to change the channel. What kind of things help to reduce triggers or flashbacks or what is the best way to deal with them from her standpoint and mine to help her? It's confusing to me as to why she brings the "bf" up at all. Or why she would even want to mention the word Oregon. It triggers me and I didn't even know her when all this happened. It instantly gets me thinking about this sick fuck, and enrages me to want to do unspeakable things to him. Thanks again for all your help! You have no idea how much I need help with this.
In these situations there is rarely clear right or wrong answers to process and handle it. I'm not a therapist, but it sounds like she's experiencing PTSD, which would be normal-- I also have PTSD from my experience. She told you about these awful things that happened to her because she trusts you and if you two are going to pursue a relationship then it may be helpful for you to know things like when she pretends to be asleep during SVU, it's really her getting upset. One thing I noticed is that you asked her friend to change the channel. Be careful when taking things into your own hands like that. If her friend doesn't know what happened, and she's not actively making it known that she is upset, then you don't want to draw attention to her saddness and inadvertantly tell a story that is hers to tell. That's just my thinking from past experiences. Triggers are tricky. With PTSD there sometimes isn't a trigger, then there are obvious triggers. Yes, the words Oregon and mentioning her ex-boyfriend may seem like they would be obvious triggers, but those are also words that she would say or hear often, which would allow her to numb herself to them; whereas watching a show about rape-- something that isn't discussed on a daily basis-- would potentially trigger memories that she doesn't wish to remember. What you have to remember throughout this process, is that is is a process. There isn't going to be a magical cure for it or something to make everything okay. Your anger towards the guilty is justified and you will need to work through it-- she likely already has and is probably working through getting through the flashbacks, paranoia, and self loathing. No amounts of wanting to cut off his genitals and place an iron there will erase what has happened to her. All you can do at this point is be her rock, her constant. You can be someone she can safely cry to, someone who understands why she doesn't like SVU, and someone who is willing to talk to her even during the weird hours of the night. She needs someone like that. But that's really all you can do. You can mention to her different things like therapy and this group, as long as you don't push her too much and realize in the end it is her decision. Just be there for her, but that doesn't entail making her talk about it 24/7 or relating everything back to the incident. Let her bring it up, unless you are feeling anger about it and need to discuss it right then.
Exactly. I don't like other people bringing up even small things around others that might not know what I been through. I'd have a fit if someone suggested to turn off SVU because I'm there. Generally, I avoid the show. There are episodes I can watch, but if there is a child involved or more than one assailant it will make me uncomfortable and want to avoid it, but I'll just go to another room or suddenly need to make a phone call or when I was smoking take a smoke break or busy work of some sort. Thankfully, it's only my mom that's obsessed with that kind of stuff. So, I can actually come up with something to do without her questioning me. She knows about one incident, but I don't think she realizes it bothers me and I like to keep it that way. I don't mind someone running interference when they make it more about them or play distraction. Like if they said they wanted to watch a movie and at least pretend it's not me that's the issue.

MADISON, Wisc. - Jen Huggon (Plymouth, Mass.) stopped 28 of 29 shots as the fifth-ranked University of New Hampshire women's hockey team skated to a 1-1 tie against No. 6 University of Wisconsin in a non-conference game at the Kohl Center on Saturday night.
UNH, which defeated the Badgers 2-0 on Friday, is now 20-4-2 overall and the Wildcats' 26-year victory total remains at 499. The 'Cats, the winningest women's college hockey program, will attempt to win No. 500 Feb. 1 at Providence College.
New Hampshire took a 1-0 lead 2:04 into the game when leading point producer Chandy Kaip (Radville, Sask.), who scored the game-winning goal Friday, redirected Randi Hicox's (Mississauga, Ont.) from the left point inside the right post. It was Kaip's 10th goal and 28th point of the season.
Wisconsin (12-6-5) tied the game, 1-1, when Kendra Antony scored with .8-of-a-second remaining in the opening stanza. Huggon apparently had the puck tied up at the top of the crease, but play continued and the Badgers eventually poked the puck free and into the net.
UNH's Randi MacMaster (Syracuse, N.Y.) had a power-play goal with 4:21 remaining in the game disallowed when the officials convened and ruled that she intentionally directed the puck into the net with her leg.
With a faceoff in their defensive zone and 16.3 seconds left in regulation, the Wildcats called time out. They gained control of the puck and a shot by Allison Edgar (Brigden, Ont.) from the left point whistled wide of the near post as time expired.
New Hampshire returns to Women's Hockey East action this weekend with a home-and-home series against Providence. The Wildcats play host to the Friars on Sunday, Feb. 2 (2 p.m.). UNH is atop the league standings with 18 points (9-0-0 record) while PC is second at 17 points (8-0-1).

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Police say they've found a vehicle that belongs to a former University of Georgia professor suspected of killing his wife and two other people outside a community theater last week.
Athens-Clarke police said Friday morning that they found George Zinkhan's vehicle overnight in northwestern part of Clarke County, the same county where the university is located.
Police have not yet found Zinkhan, who was last seen driving away in a red Jeep after dropping his children off with a neighbor. They were in his car during the shooting but weren't hurt.
The 57-year-old former business school professor is wanted in the April 25 shooting of his wife and two members of her community theater group. The university is warning students to be cautious until he's found.

Schedule Adjustments
The course selection process begins when students meet with counselors in February. Students and parents should access the Program of Studies online. It is very important that students and parents select courses and make adjustments in course selections during the time provided. Students will have one week to consult with counselors, teachers and their parents before finalizing selections. By mid-March, all final selections for the next school year should be completed.
Schedule adjustments at the beginning of the new semester can be made only for the following reasons:
- The student is eligible for cooperative training.
- The student has an incomplete schedule because of an unavoidable conflict.
- The student has a failure from the previous semester in a prerequisite course.
- The student made a schedule change during the course selection period that was not properly processed.
- The student completed a course in summer school that is on his/her current schedule.
- The student is misplaced as verified by the teacher, counselor, Assistant Principal and parent.
Students who do not qualify for schedule adjustments under the above criteria must follow their schedules for the entire semester. Students who experience academic difficulty in a course they have selected will not be allowed to withdraw or change the class without parent, teacher and counselor involvement.
- Schedule changes must be made before the final course selection date since the master class schedule for next year's program is based upon the data collected from students.
- Course requests will be viewable in MISTAR (Zangle) StudentConnection and MISTAR ParentPortal. This is your confirmation of courses requested to be scheduled, and not an assurance that the confirmed requests will be scheduled, as irresolvable conflicts and course limits do occur.
- Some of the courses will be offered in only one of the school buildings. Students may have to move between buildings to attend their assigned courses.
- Due to low enrollment, some courses described in this publication may not be offered.
- Parents are encouraged to communicate freely with counselors and members of the school staff throughout the course selection period.
Testing Out of a Course
Under the Michigan Merit Curriculum Law, students may test out and receive credit for any course. Students who are not enrolled in a course who attain a score of 80% or higher on a course assessment identified by the district will receive credit for the course. Assessments measure a student's understanding of the subject area content expectations. Successfully testing out of a course will be reflected on a student's transcript as a "G" grade. The grade is not calculated into the student's grade point average. See your counselor for more information.
Transfer of Credits
Canton, Plymouth and Salem High Schools are accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The high school credits of students new to the district will be accepted from secondary schools, which have been approved by a recognized accrediting agency. Credits presented from a non-accredited, non-complying public or non-public school will be accepted only after evaluation against district standards.
Transfer Out of District
Parents must notify the student's assistant principal about plans to transfer their child to another school. Transfer will be authorized only after the student has completed the arrangements, returned all school materials, and paid any fees or fines that are due. School records may not be released if the transfer is not properly completed. Parents are encouraged to contact their assistant principal for specific details.
School officials, when transferring student records, are required to transmit disciplinary records including suspension and expulsion actions against the student.

National Park Service Press Release
|For Immediate Release:
|May 02, 2014
|April Slayton, 202-208-6843
|National Park Service Honors Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with Art Exhibit and Ceremony
WASHINGTON –This month, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) and the National Park Service will feature the art of high school students inspired by the stories of the Southeast Asian community with an art exhibit at the Department of the Interior and at a ceremony celebrating AAPI Heritage Month.
The exhibit, entitled "Stories of Home," features art created by students at McLane High School's ArtVenture Academy in Fresno, Calif. The pieces were inspired by the students' interviews with more than 300 Southeast Asian staff, community leaders, family members and friends regarding experiences in Laos, refugee camps and the U.S. The exhibit will be open to the public from May 6-20, 2014, at the Department of the Interior Museum, located at 1849 C St NW, Washington, DC 20240. Additional information about visiting exhibits at the museum is available here.
The student artists will also participate in a program hosted by the White House Initiative on AAPIs and the Department of the Interior on May 6 from 9 am until noon at the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building's Sidney Yates Auditorium, also located at 1849 C St NW in Washington, DC. This free event is open to members of the public who register here. The event will also be streamed live at www.doi.gov/live.
"The National Park Service tells America's story from diverse perspectives, and we are proud to showcase the art created by these talented young people, honoring the stories of people whose voices may otherwise go unheard," said National Park Service Director Jonathan B. Jarvis.
As part of the effort to tell America's stories, especially those of minorities and women who have made significant contributions to our nation's history and culture, the National Park Service established the Asian American Pacific Islander Initiative, an ongoing series of projects exploring how the legacy of Asian American Pacific Islanders can be recognized, preserved, and interpreted for future generations. The initiative includes the ongoing Asian American and Pacific Islander Theme Study, which started in February 2013, is expected to be completed in early 2016. The theme study essays will guide future nominations of National Historic Landmarks and National Register of Historic Places properties, in an effort to increase the diversity of sites included in those programs.
About the National Park Service. More than 20,000 National Park Service employees care for America's 401 national parks and work with communities across the nation to help preserve local history and create close-to-home recreational opportunities.

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time Season 2 Spoilers: Is There a Future For Neal & Emma?
Things got even more complicated between Emma (Jennifer Morrison) and Neal (Michael Raymond-James) on Once Upon a Time after Neal revealed he was enganged. Surprise! Emma did not look too pleased with the idea, but we have to give her credit for not actually dropping her jaw to the pavement. That girl sure does know how to keep her emotions to herself. So, what's in store for our favorite star-crossed couple? Co-creator Eddy Kitsis weighs in...
"It's hard for Emma," Eddy told TVLine. "Their dream was Tallahassee, to just go and get regular jobs — and now he's doing that with [fiancée Tamara]. And since Emma's the kind of character who has a wall up around her heart, I'm not sure she wants to admit it hurts her, but we're definitely going to see that it does."
Poor Emma. For being the savior and everything, this girl does not catch a lot of breaks.
But how does Neal feel about all of this? He didn't want to abandon Emma is prison all of those years ago, but was convinced by August that it was in Emma's best interest. Now that a future with Emma is possible again, will his feelings for his fiance change?
"It affects [Neal] because we know that he didn't want to leave her," said Eddy. "He's in love with her. What happened [in "Manhattan"] is a situation that neither of them ever thought would happen, so now what do you do? That's what a lot of the rest of the season's about."
If ever there was an upside to your father getting stabbed, it is the chance to spend some quality time with the son you never knew you had and the woman you love but thought would never see again. We're definitely tuning into to find out what happens next with this destined duo.
Do you think Emma and Neal will get a happy ending? Let us know in the comments below.
Catch the next episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, March 10, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Comments, questions and tips
This was a disgusting cake that I made for some very dear friends of mine, being incredibly polite none of them muttered a bad word but you could clearly see the look on theirs faces as this muck entered their mouths and one of them nearly vomited. I have been retracing my steps in the ingredients and instructions but I have done nothing wrong. The only star I give this recipe is due to the lemon juice. I would not reccomend this recipe.
This was easy to make and looked very impressive, but I thought the flavour could have had a bit more 'punch'. I think, if I made it again, I might include more citrus (perhaps orange zest, and more citrus juice in the syrup), or go in the opposite direction and add some rose water. It went really well with pistachio ice cream.

As of Wednesday, April 18, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
It's time to pay the IRS a nice chunk of our earnings again. It's the annual April reminder that we turn over part of our hard-earned money in a nod to the ideals of democracy.
A lot of Americans may not see that connection right away, so maybe adjusting the view of federal taxes will help take out some of the sting. Collecting funds that a fairly-elected group of representatives then gets to decide how to spend is the heart and soul of democracy. It's the truest form of the Golden Rule.
Normally, those who have the money rule and everyone else is out of luck. But when everyone decides to share the cost, suddenly, a free society emerges.
It really ranks right up there with our willingness to peacefully live with the outcome of elections, despite grinding our teeth every time we see who won appear on TV.
Taxes make it possible for children who come from nothing to get a basic education and dream of bigger things, or for most of us to feel safe walking down their street on the way to work. They even make sure there is a paved street or for that matter, safe drinking water or food that's been properly handled, and to know that will be the case whether we're in Montana or Alabama.
Sure, parts of the system sometimes fail us, but take a good look at other countries that don't use our system and see how much further away from a decent life we could be right now, all the time. It's also true that the founding fathers didn't institute a national tax system, and it wasn't even until 1913 that the 16th Amendment was added to the Constitution, making federal taxes a more permanent institution. But earlier in our history it was close to impossible to offer services beyond the borders of a day's horse ride. Local municipalities had to take care of citizens' needs.
Besides, it was hard enough to get the newly formed country to accept just one currency, much less ask for some of it back every year. The U.S. is older now and our numbers have grown exponentially while our problems, along with our opportunities, have grown more complex. It's becomes necessary to pay for basic services and to somehow create a system that's as fair as possible.
It speaks to our determination to not only preserve the ideals of democracy, but allow it to grow that we do peacefully pay into a large pool every year, even though most everyone doesn't agree about the details. It's like we're family.
The spread of media into every nook and cranny of our lives has helped by knitting us all together in more ways than we ever were before in our history. I care about news stories in small towns I would have never heard of before the 24-hour news cycle started with the birth of CNN in 1990 during the first Gulf War. It's become easier to see America as a blended family that likes to squabble a lot over the differences.
The constant bickering may occasionally wear us out, but the ties are that much stronger and make most of us more willing to look for common solutions. More of us know the early signs of some common fatal illnesses like heart disease or skin cancer and have altered our lifestyles. In the past, it took having a neighbor drop dead or the doctor telling you that the symptoms were already appearing before someone got the necessary information.
I'm also a little too up to date on what's happening to any given Kardashian, despite never watching the basic cable show. The addition of internet sites that number into the millions and an ever-evolving list of social media outlets like Pinterest or Google+, along with the old standbys of Facebook or Twitter only blur the lines more.
I still think about what I could be doing with all of that money and shake my head over the loopholes or some of the federally funded projects,but in the end, I'm mostly grateful that my basic needs are taken care of so I can get back to dreaming of better things and just hanging out with friends. Happy Tax Day everyone. More adventures to follow.

Parliament Webinar: Learning To Stop Viral Hate, The Social Internet, and the Interfaith Response
Join us for a Webinar on August 7
Space is limited.
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
When a comment becomes dangerous, Interfaith activists must respond.From closed groups to public forums, the power of the social internet is feeding a new kind of potentially fatal disease, Viral Hate. From behind screens, social media users are becoming complacent to hate-borne comments and those who are posting them lack concern for the real life repercussions. It is not only, as Abraham H. Foxman and Christopher Wolf explore in their book Viral Hate, the fact that "words of hate can easily turn into acts of hate" but that internet users frighteningly consider hate a natural biproduct of the immense internet sphere. Join the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions in discussion with co-author Christopher Wolf on how these assaults on human dignity cannot simply be censored by law but need, and are in fact an obligation of, companies, internet users themselves and society to counteract this viral problem.
You will learn the state of hate on the internet now, how it affects us all, and how to effectively respond.
Christopher Wolf is widely recognized as one of the leading American practitioners in the fields of privacy and Internet law and serves as the director of Hogan Lovells LLP's Privacy and Information Management practice. He is the national chair of the ADL Civil Rights Committee as well as the founder and co-chair of the Future of Privacy Forum think tank.

Northern Irish Young 'Friendly Across Religions'
from Google News and the UK Press Association
An increasing number of teenagers in Northern Ireland have friendships across the religious divide, a research study has said.
Only a minority of young people have no acquaintances from other religious or ethnic backgrounds, added the university Young Life and Times Survey (YLT).
Dr Paula Devine, from Queen's University, said: "The YLT survey found that friendship patterns among 16-year-olds are wider than ever before, encompassing both religious and ethnic diversity."
They found 12% of young people never socialise with those from a different community and 16% do not associate with other ethnicities.
Dr Devine added: "The comments made by young people in the survey suggest a blurring of the traditional us and them categories. Whether someone is like us or them is not purely based on their religious or ethnic background but on other factors such as personality."
Key findings in the report, No More Us And Them For 16-18-year-olds?, include that cross-community friendship was more common in 2011 than in 2003. In 2011, 22% of YLT respondents had no friends from the other main religious community, compared with 33% in 2003.
God and Google
From The Washington Post
By Brad Hirschfield
Like pretty much everything else, God can be found on Google. And this week, with the help of Google Street View, you don't even have to search for images of the Divine to find you.
This image, captured by the Street View feature of ubiquitous searcher (a fact about Google which may hint at the search engine itself is increasingly God-like, if not actually God) has been interpreted by thousands as a glimpse of God captured on camera. Of course others have suggested that it is more likely bird poop on the camera lens. Whatever it is, there is a lesson here in when and why we see/think we see God.
It comes down to admitting that we all find the God or no-God for which we are looking. There is proof of either the existence or the non-existence of God. Their constant debating to the contrary, that is something upon which both deep believers and ardent atheists ought to agree.
When believers in the infinite insist that there are scientific proofs for the existence of the God in whom they believe, they are reducing the object of their faith to something whose existence can also be disproved. Is that really what they want? Is the God in whom they believe really so small as to be disproved? Maybe, but that's no god worthy of one's faith.

Data Center Transformation, Part 7: Application Transparency
by Hu Yoshida on Aug 24, 2010
As I have stated in my previous posts on data center transformation, virtualization plays an important role in creating a dynamic pool of server and storage resources and masking the physical infrastructure from the application, so that the provisioning, movement, and refresh of the infrastructure can be done without disruption to the business. While we are masking the physical resources, however, we still need to provide the applications with transparency into the virtual infrastructure to ensure that their service level objectives are being met. Transparency requires openness, communication and accountability.
Hitachi's Solution to Application Transparency
The Hitachi Storage Command suite provides an integrated set of management modules that culminates in a Hitachi Command Portal, which provides an application with a dashboard view of the storage infrastructure that sits behind the virtualization. This enables the application to communicate with the infrastructure managers, and provides accountability of the service level objectives to the application.
The Hitachi Storage Command Suite starts from the bottom up with a Device Manager, which provides a deep dive view into the Hitachi Storage products. There is also an optional Global Link Manager that provides monitoring and control of all the alternate paths to all the systems under Hitachi Storage Command management. This enables the management of alternate paths for multiple storage systems from one console.
Across the top of these two modules is a resource monitoring tool called Tuning Manager that works with the Device Manager and Link Manager to monitor the activity of the system and provide reports and alerts for any out-of-boundary conditions.
Tuning Manager can provide alerts and information to a tiering and migration manager (Hitachi Tiered Storage Manager), to a Policy Based Tiered Storage Management service, or to a policy manager for automating application backups with storage system-based replication (Hitachi Replication Manager).
Hitachi Command Portal
Up to this point all these modules provide information and management for the storage infrastructure. Across the top of all these modules, Hitachi provides a Command Portal which provides a business or application view into this infrastructure.
This portal presents a dashboard for a business unit or application which shows them four basic panels of information. The first is the status of its Service Level Objective during a selected period, whether it is red, yellow or green, based upon specified thresholds. Second is the actual storage allocation in terms of LUNs, Subsystem id, physical disks, RAID type, and actual allocation. Third is a panel that shows the health of its storage subsystem array groups and port processors over a selected period, whether it is red, yellow, green. The last panel shows the storage allocation over a specified time period for planning purposes.
This dashboard is a portal that enables the user to dive into the infrastructure modules that support it and produce any number of reports. The presentation is through Adobe Flex, which enables movement of screens and drill down.
While application users may be relieved to be isolated from the infrastructure turmoil that accompanies any form of transformation, they still have the responsibility to ensure that they are meeting their business objectives. In order for the application user to fulfill his obligations to the business, he or she must have transparency into the infrastructure, even though it is virtualized or moved behind a cloud. Management tools like the Hitachi Storage Command Suite will provide that transparency for openness, communication, and accountability.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Iowa farmers enjoyed a reprieve from the hot weather with cooler temperatures last week, but the state's corn and soybean continue to lag in maturity, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Crops are still in need of additional precipitation, especially in western Iowa, which received the least amount of rain last week. There was an average of 5.9 days suitable statewide for fieldwork.
Forty-nine percent of topsoil was in the adequate and surplus moisture categories, according to the USDA, an increase of 6 percent from the previous week. Topsoil moisture levels were rated 15 percent very short, 36 percent short, 47 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus.
Last week's rain was not significant enough to affect subsoil moisture ratings, which continued to decline.
Sixty percent of subsoil was in the adequate and surplus categories, down 6 percent points from previous week. Subsoil moisture levels were rated 8 percent very short, 32 percent short, 58 percent adequate and 2 percent surplus.
Seventy-four percent of the corn crop has tasseled, far behind last year's 99 percent and the five-year average of 88 percent. Half of the corn crop was silking, lagging behind last year's 96 percent and the normal 77 percent.
The USDA rated corn condition as 4 percent very poor, 11 percent poor, 32 percent fair, 41 percent good and 12 percent excellent.
Sixty-three percent of the soybean crop was blooming, well behind last year's 92 percent and the five-year average of 83 percent. Pods were being set on 14 percent of the soybean crop, trailing last year's 54 percent and the normal 43 percent.
The USDA rated soybean condition as 3 percent very poor, 9 percent poor, 35 percent fair, 41 percent good and 12 percent excellent.
On a more positive note, the USDA reported the second cutting of alfalfa was 75 percent complete, only 2 percent behind normal. Hay condition was rated at 1 percent very poor, 8 percent poor, 31 percent fair, 48 percent good and 12 percent excellent.
At the Fort Atkinson Hay Auction, 41 consignors offered 55 loads on Wednesday with a load of fourth crop big squares bringing the top price of $305 per ton. There was only a limited amount of bedding offered along with several loads of oats hay that sold well.
A majority of the sale Wednesday involved grinding and utility type of hay with the better quality showing some strength.

Blason de L'Evangile is selected from the same vats that are used to make the Grand Vin. It has characteristics similar to the Grand Vin, but less potential for ageing as it is matured in barrels for a shorter period of time. It should be drunk younger than its more robust counterpart.
Blason de L'Évangile
Vintage 2012
- 67% Merlot 67%
- 33% Cabernet Franc
A complex year with a lot of ups and downs! The beginning of the year was difficult with periods of intense cold and humidity, resulting in a mixed flowering and significant losses in terms of yields. The beginning and the middle of the summer saw some fine sunny periods but also brought high levels of humidity. Fortunately, conditions in August and September were excellent which enabled the grapes to ripen very satisfactorily, and to present good potential. Due to rain, the harvest was spread over three weeks; this was unusual, but ultimately gave satisfactory results.
Tasting notes (at bottling)
Deep, clear colour with hints of violet. Fruity nose of red berries (raspberries and redcurrants) with notes of toast. On the palate, the attack is clean with a well-enveloped, balanced tannic structure. The texture is very velvety thanks to the ripe, well-coated tannins. The finish is fruity but it is the quality of the tannins that dominates.
Vintage 2011
- 85% Merlot
- 15% Cabernet Franc
2011 was characterized by a very dry winter and start to the spring. Barely 150 mm of rain during the first five months of the year: a record! High temperatures in April, May and June caused the vines to grow very quickly, resulting in the first flowers appearing remarkably early, at the beginning of May!
A cooler July gave the vines a chance to rest a little before an exceptionally hot August (with an average temperature of 31°C for the month). The grapes were harvested two weeks earlier than usual, and were of excellent quality with superb tannins. The Merlot was rich and dense, but the low rainfall during the summer seriously reduced yields. The Cabernet grapes were small, with thick skins, but of very good quality.
Tasting notes (at bottling)
Deep colour with hints of violet. Fresh, fruity nose (raspberry, Morello cherry, blackcurrants) with notes of mocha. Fine attack with fruity notes and silky tannins. The palate is long, and very fruity thanks to the well-ripened tannins.
Vintage 2010
- 89% Merlot
- 11% Cabernet Franc
After a fairly wet winter, the fine weather arrived to stay in April. Conditions were ideal: hot and dry, with water reserves maintained by a few rainy spells in June and September, while high temperatures combined with cool nights enabled the grapes to ripen slowly and steadily.
The Merlot and Cabernet were thus excellent in terms of quality, but slightly lower in quantity compared to previous years due to the lack of rain during the summer. This is a very high quality vintage with beautifully ripened grapes and excellent expressions of tannins.
Tasting notes (at bottling)
Dense, deep, dark colour. Fresh, fruity nose (raspberry, Morello cherry, blackcurrant) with notes of toast. The attack is refined and silky with fruity notes and delicate, ripe tannins.
Vintage 2009
- 76% Merlot
- 24% Cabernet Franc
After a complex start to the growth season due to persistent damp conditions, fine weather finally arrived to stay at the end of June. The summer was hot and dry, punctuated in July, August and September with periods of light rain that prevented any water stress from developing. Fairly high day time temperatures combined with fine cool nights favoured slow ripening.
The Merlot developed very full flavour, with levels of ripeness and potential alcohol that are rarely reached.The Cabernet Franc grapes remained rather small with thick skins, which reduced the volume of the harvest but had a very positive effect on the quality, with excellent levels of ripeness and expression of tannins.
Tasting notes (at bottling)
Dark, dense, deep colour with hints of dark purple. The nose is refined, fresh and fruity (raspberry,blackcurrant) with subtle, elegant notes of mocha and coffee. The attack is generous with fruity notes and delicate tannins. The palate is long, powerful and silky due to the very ripe tannins. The finish is enveloped in a rich creaminess.
Vintage 2008
- 100% Merlot
After a grey, wet spring, resulting in a late, problematic flowering (a huge amount of fruit failing to set, explaining the very low yield of 27 hl/ha), we had a dry, sunny July. An overcast August helped to preserve a fine freshness before wonderful weather in September and October enabled the grapes to fully ripen.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Intense, deep colour; direct, open, fruity nose, with a fine expression of terroir for this 100% Merlot wine. In the mouth, it is big, full-bodied and heady with fresh notes of dark fruit. The finish is long, with a mellow, balanced, deep tannic structure.
Vintage 2007
- 100% Merlot
After a cold damp winter, the high temperatures in March and April were good for the start of growth. This was followed by a long, mild, grey period, without extremes, which lasted until August. These conditions required increased supervision of the vines. The good weather stabilised at the beginning of September, enabling the grapes to ripen in peace. This vintage was characterised by a year of 13 lunar cycles and a longer than usual growth season.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Pure Merlot, ripe, expressive and open. A little closed at first on the palate, but after a little while it opens up showing good substance with sensuous notes – a good thirst-quenching wine!
Vintage 2006
- 87% Merlot
- 13% Cabernet Franc
The mild spring was followed by lovely weather in July and quite a cool August. These conditions resulted in ripe grapes with lots of freshness. At the beginning of September the sun came back in full strength to bring the phenolic maturity to a perfect finish.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Dense, deep colour. Expressive nose of red fruits, blackcurrant and blackberry enhanced by light spicy notes. Silky on the palate, balanced and subtle tannins with a velvety finish. Notes of cherries at the end. A very promising wine.
Vintage 2005
- 85% Merlot
- 15% Cabernet Franc
The 2005 vintage will be remembered for the exceptional weather conditions, that were very rare for the region! A mild spring and cool June enabled the grapes to keep all of their freshness, while July, August and September brought high levels of sugar and polyphenols.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Elegant and powerful nose accompanied by notes of black cherry and mocha. Dense, smooth, powerful attack on the palate revealing silky tannins and great aromatic complexity.
Gentle finish with notes of black stone-fruit.
Vintage 2004
- 73% Merlot
- 27% Cabernet Franc
The 2004 vintage was marked by moderate rainfall in the winter, lots of rain in spring and a dry cool summer. The end of the season was superb, with fine dry weather in September and October resulting in remarkable phenolic maturity in the grapes. When tasted during the primeurs campaign, this vintage was fresh, fruity and intense with spicy notes and a hint of menthol.
tasting notes (at bottling)
On the palate, the attack is rounded and supple, giving way to ripe, plump, expressive tannins. Silky and slightly toasty on the finish.
Vintage 2003
- 75% Merlot
- 25% Cabernet Franc
The vintage owes its particular characteristics to the heatwave during the first fortnight of August, with temperatures above 40°C, combined with low rainfall throughout the growth cycle.
tasting notes (at bottling)
An elegant and balanced wine offering notes of truffle and hazelnut. Supple, silky tannins with a fresh finish.
Vintage 2002
- 75% Merlot
- 25% Cabernet Franc
It was a paradoxical year in terms of climate, with average weather over a long period but than ideal conditions as the grapes finished ripening. July and August were rather cool months, but fortunately September was superb, with dry, sunny weather that accelerated the ripening process. The harvests were carried out from 25 September to 4 October in the sunshine without a drop of rain.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Dark colour with purple highlights. The woody nose is rapidly dominated by fruity aromas. The attack is rich and smooth with an already well-integrated, elegant tannic structure. The finish is long, bringing freshness with notes of blackcurrants.
Vintage 2001
- 67% Merlot
- 33% Cabernet Franc
2001's weather was surprising in its unusually long growing season, which pushed harvesting back to October, after flowering had taken place at the normal time. We had to be particularly patient in verifying that the grapes had fully ripened. The harvest took place between 25 September and 9 October, under sunny skies.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Deep colour. Initially slightly toasted nose which then develops blackcurrant and stone fruit notes. On the palate the direct attack is quickly followed by a solid but well-balanced tannin structure. The fruity finish is a perfect complement to the mellow woody notes.
Vintage 2000
- 85% Merlot
- 15% Cabernet Franc
A very hot August brought the century to a close with an early harvest. The first Merlot grapes were picked on 15 September, and the Cabernet Franc from 27 September, in pleasant, mild weather. The excellent degree of ripeness of the grapes enabled a very supple, fruity Blason de L'Evangile to be produced, in a similar style to its more distinguished sibling.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Very dark in colour, with an expressive bouquet. Long, robust palate.
Vintage 1999
The Merlot was harvested when it was ripe, just before the rain at the end of September, whereas the Cabernet harvest was complicated by the wet weather. Blason de L'Evangile 1999 has a higher proportion of Cabernet and is less dense than the Château L'Evangile, but nonetheless has a superb structure which promises to age well.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Very dark colour, deep bouquet dominated by notes of the terroir, sophisticated palate.
Vintage 1998
After uniform flowering and a beautiful July followed by a hot, dry August and a few welcome thunderstorms in early September, the vintage suffered from rain during the harvests. As it is often the case, the Merlot grapes were relatively unaffected.
tasting notes (at bottling)
Blason de L'Evangile 1998 has a dark colour and an expressive bouquet. On the palate the attack is powerful followed by a long finish.

Ideal ornamental bantams
Pros: Small size, good broodies, beautiful feathers, can sometimes be very friendly
Cons: Highly aggressive roosters
However, the roosters we've had since then have been on the other end of the spectrum: still very unfriendly, but they're just plain scared of us. None of them have attacked us, as far as I can remember.
As for the hens, I would recommend them as pets. We had one hen who was really great. The rest are scared of us, but they're definitely sweeter than some of the other breeds we have.
All in all, I would definitely say that these birds, especially the roosters, can be gorgeous, and if you want a lawn ornament, this could be the breed for you. You may have to risk having an evil rooster, but you may just turn out with a great rooster instead. The hens are good overall. Their eggs, however, are pretty small and are a very light brown color.
And yes, I would like to continue raising this breed.

That was like some BBC Natural History horror show; all the little fishes — Rosberg, Grosjean, Maldonado, Hulkenberg — swimming around the reef, happy to have locked out the front of the grid. Then the camera pans quickly to a Big Blue Shark, Sebastian Vettel, closing four tenths of a second quicker than any of them. Poor little guys. They didn't stand a chance.
So it starts Vettel….. [imagine a long gap]….. Hamilton, Maldonado, Grosjean, Raikkonen, Rosberg, Kobayashi, Hulkenberg, Di Resta and Jenson Button. The gap to Vettel is not much more than the gap between the two McLarens. Another freaky-brilliant lap from the World Champ.
Fernando Alonso starts eleventh. He didn't make the top-ten cut as, of course, nor did Felipe Massa, who also seemed to get a rather frosty reception from Ferrari President Luca de Montezemolo live on global TV. For the first time this year, the Sunday Afternoon Club actually has some sympathy for Massa. As we do for Mark Webber, who didn't make the top 17, but who could with a DRS that wouldn't open. Sorry Mark and 'good on ya mate' for dealing with it with such grace.
Unlike Jenson Button, who is seriously testing our long-standing love affair… He did make the top ten for the first time in a while, but couldn't convert it in to getting anywhere near Lewis. Then he went on TV and told us all that F1 is boring anyhow and we shouldn't even bother tuning in tomorrow.
Meh, we love it Jenson! And we'll be back in the morning once we've worked out a rational argument to justify our crazy hunch that Romain Grosjean will win tomorrow…

GREENFIELD — Out with the defending Class 4A baseball runner-ups, in with a difficult reunion.
Greenfield-Central blanked Roncalli 5-0 at Molinder Field Tuesday night, with starter Seth Adams and reliever Mitch Gibson combining on a four-hit shutout.
The Rebels (0-1) came within one win of their first state championship a year ago, defeating New Palestine 8-3 at the Plainfield Semistate before falling 1-0 in the State Finals to Lake Central.
As for the Cougars (3-1), they turn their attention to a Friday night doubleheader versus visiting Pendleton Heights. The Arabians' new manager is Travis Keesling, who spent five years heading G-C before departing for his alma mater in August.
"I'm sure coach Keesling is going to be over there and he's going to want to win the baseball game, but he's going to be proud to see what he helped build over here. But, it's going to be a weird day," said first-year Greenfield-Central coach Brian Murphy with a laugh. "It really is. It's going to be weird."
Tuesday's home opener was an outlier compared with the Cougars' first three games in which they scored 23 runs and surrendered 21.
Adams, a sophomore right-hander who logged the third-most innings (26) on the team as a freshman, set the tone early, working the outside corner with his repertoire of a fastball, a changeup and a slider.
Roncalli went down in order in the first and third innings, but moved runners to second and third with one out in the second. Adams promptly struck out Christian Beard and Chris Fey looking, the latter on a full count.
With one out in the fourth, Adams hit Dan Harris with a pitch and yielded a single to Pauly Milto to put runners on first and second. He struck out Nick Koontz swinging for the second out, but Christian Beard lined a 0-2 pitch up the middle for a single, sending Harris rounding third and heading home.

Advice to Management
Fix the field promotion challenges... pull people back to Redmond more readily and start pushing those corporate folks to the field more readily... it's important to actually GET IN FRONT of customer and partners. Meetings to cover meetings has dropped thank goodness but the seasonality of the business needs to be adjusted... I remember being in the field for 3 months after fiscal and it was as though no one was working (customers and partners are still working.)

So, this report will serve to reinforce what you all should be fully aware of: that Felipe Massa is a 'managed by Jean Todt's son is the only reason he's there let's keep the money in the family' journeyman who has no place in the fastest and greatest team in the world.
I can think of ten drivers I'd like to see in that Ferrari and the little guy who looks and sounds like Nik Nak out of Fantasy Island isn't one of them. He's just not good enough.
You could almost see the language of Journeyman Felipe's car change when Kimi appeared out of the pits in front of him. Why? How? Wha-? Well, Felipe, it's because Kimi was able to stay right with you during that first stint, even in dirty air and with a heavier car, and thereby control the race easily.
You could see evidence of that imperious control even a few moments after the start, when Kimi decided to tuck behind Massa for the first corner rather than battle it out and get ahead. He knew he could own Felipe later, so he just bided his time.
And then he owned him.
This was the only true battle of the Malaysian Grand Prix. Felipe just couldn't go fast enough in the first stint to create the gap required to do his stop and stay in front of Kimi after the Finn's stop. And Kimi's two mighty laps, one of them his in-lap, further nailed the Brazilian. Game over.
Then, the conclusion. Massa, for the second of this year's two Grands Prix, loses the rear end coming out of a corner. Oops. Embarrassing. You've got to control that car now, Felipe, there's no electronic stuff to help you.
Brundle's comment about 'ambition over adhesion' was spot-on. If there's a technical problem there, I'll be surprised. I'll apologise too. But I suspect nothing will be found. He just didn't have the car control. He'll be a proper nightmare in the wet.
Lewis got bad luck. Heikki was solid. Trulli was fast. And Kubica really showed his class, going at a phenomenal pace for lap after lap, doing what Felipe was unable to do – stay on the track.
The bigger picture is interesting, too. Maybe that McLaren isn't quite the tool that Lewis needs to fight Ferrari on equal terms. The Melbourne circuit often gives a skewed picture of performance and maybe it's happened again. Maybe that Ferrari is the car to beat, and Kimi is the only proper driver they've got.
A driver's championship for Kimi might be on the cards, but a constructor's championship might be a little more difficult with just one driver.

Concord — Rokupr rice research station, which was opened in 1934, has been re-opened after it was completely destroyed by rebels who attacked the Kambia district.
The rice station saw many directors who managed it in the persons of the late H.E. Jordan who was the first director of the station; Professor E.A Roberts now retired; Harry N. Will who was the first Sierra Leonean director made the station what it was in the sub-region.
The rice station was known in the sub-region as the focal point for rice research in the former British West African territories of Ghana, Nigeria, the Gambia and Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, the government has established the Sierra Leone Agricultural Research Institute (SLARI) by an act of Parliament in 2007 under which the need to reactivate and vitalize agricultural research for the generations and promotion of improved technologies through its research centres was actualized.
The station, now the Rokupr centre has been established to promote research, develop, improve technologies for rice, and sorghum.
In his keynote address, deputy minister of agricultural Lovel Thomas said the centre was key component of SLARI rehabilitated to take on its share of the new research dispensation in the country.
He further said that the establishment of SLARI came at a crucial time in the nation's effort to make agricultural research and development more meaningful in national development.
"The commissioning of the rehabilitated offices, laboratories and some residential quarters of the Rokupr Agricultural Research Centre is a step in the right direction," he said.
The minister informed the gathering that Sierra Leone was very proud of Dr. Monty Patrick Jones for his epoch-making contribution towards agriculture and food security in Africa and the world.
He called on the staff of Rokupr and other SLARI institutions to continue the footsteps of Dr. Jones.
Executive director for West and Central Africa Council for agricultural research and development, represented by Dr. Ernest Assah Asiedu who is the staple crops program manager, said that FARA and CORF/WECARD recognizing the current deplorable conditions in agricultural research were facilitating a process of lobbying and advocating national governments and partners to support the rehabilitation initiatives.
"We were therefore glad to learn of the considerable effort that the government of Sierra Leone has put in the rehabilitation of the Rokupr Agricultural Research Centre for rice research."
He therefore urged the government to seek a CORAF/WECARD coordinated facility for the 16 ECOWAS countries under the West African Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAAPP), which is being funded by the World Bank to support country-specific agricultural impact in Sierra Leone.
The programme was climaxed by awarding of certificates and gifts to long service members.

The Belleville Hospitals' Golf and Tennis Classic has become a premier golfing event and an annual tradition for many of its participants. Its success can be attributed to the dedication and talents of the committee. The first Belleville Hospitals' Golf Classic was held on June 11, 1984, at the St. Clair Country Club. The original committee included professional golfer and former Masters Champion Bob Goalby as Honorary Chairman. Then, in 1993, the Classic was expanded to include a tennis tournament. Consequently, the event became the Belleville Hospitals' Golf and Tennis Classic.
Since its inception, charitable contributions and involvement by the many friends and supporters of Memorial and St. Elizabeth's Hospitals have made it possible to raise over $1.4 million. The funds generated by the annual Belleville Hospitals' Golf and Tennis Classic help the hospitals to continue to provide the residents in the communities served by Memorial and St. Elizabeth's Hospitals with the latest in quality healthcare services.
The Friends of St. Elizabeth's Hospital Foundation has utilized the proceeds from the Belleville Hospitals' Golf and Tennis Classic to assist in the purchase such items as the OB TraceVue™ fetal monitoring program for the St. Elizabeth's Mother Child Department, recliners for patient rooms, as well as the ability to fund a variety of patient-care enhancement programs.
Over the past few years, Memorial and St. Elizabeth's Hospitals have coordinated their efforts to focus on projects that benefit the missions of both hospital foundations, including the purchase of the pre-hospital 12-lead ECG/EKG equipment for our local ambulance providers and support of programs and services at The Cancer Treatment Center, jointly owned and operated by Memorial and St. Elizabeth's hospitals.
To help better understand planned giving including how gifts can be made through a will, charitable trusts, life insurance and endowments,the Friends of St. Elizabeth's Hospital offers estate planning seminars for general members of the community and training classes for tax professionals. These events are held as needed. To learn more about an upcoming estate planning event, please call the Friends of St. Elizabeth's office at 618-234-2120 ext. 2728.
Since its inception in 1983, the Elizabethan has become a traditional fall event for many members of the community. Originally known as the "Elizabethan Holiday", the event was started by the St. Elizabeth's Auxiliary as a luncheon and fashion show designed promote positive public relations for the Hospital, support the Hospital's mission, and to honor the Feast of St. Elizabeth (celebrated in November). In 2012 the tradition evolved into what is now known as "The Elizabethan", a gala which includes an evening of fellowship and fundraising accompanied by dinner, music, and celebrations.
Throughout its history, proceeds from the event have funded equipment purchases and supported healthcare programs throughout St. Elizabeth's Hospital as well as provided annual scholarships to students pursuing careers in the medical and healthcare fields. Proceeds from this year's event will continue the long-standing tradition of supporting healthcare programs and services provided by St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Today, the Elizabethan remains a key fundraising event for the Friends of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Members of the Friends Board of Directors, the Hospital Auxiliary Volunteers and many dedicated colleagues and physicians help to make the event a success. Their dedication to St. Elizabeth's Hospital is a beautiful demonstration of our Every Hand HealingTM approach to healthcare excellence.
