Do You Belong in AV/IT?
Mar 13, 2014 10:35 AM, By Cynthia Wisehart | Posted by Jessaca Gutierrez
Technical training may help you decide
Figuring out where you fit in the landscape of media networks, unified communication, collaboration, and campus- or enterprise-wide systems may be a technical question as much as a business question. If you're trying to chart a future path, consider a little technical training. You may decide that you are right where you belong, a quality AV integrator who can hold your place at the table and communicate with IT people as necessary. Or you may find yourself more deeply attracted to the challenges and opportunities of AV and IT networks, and the places where they converge.
Paul Depperschmidt lives the AV/IT convergence. His career path to his current position at Cisco led through Panasonic and systems integrator Technical Innovation. He spent more than seven years at Polycom; he came to Cisco about five years ago (via Tandberg) to do market development for global AV systems integration.
Most recently, Depperschmidt was on the InfoComm team that developed the AV Systems Performance Verification Standard that was approved by ANSI on Jan. 20. From Depperschmidt's vantage point, the AV industry is already a decade into the so-called convergence. However the pace over the past three years—and the AV industry shakeup that goes with it—has accelerated dramatically.
In one sign of that acceleration, his role at Cisco has just changed to focus on what is called "Global Collaboration Video." He says Cisco is integrating previously siloed disciplines and now treating collaboration—via voice, video, web ex, instant messaging, presence—as one thing. "It doesn't matter where you are or what device you are on," he says. "The boardroom is now everywhere."
Meanwhile, he sees "voice guys definitely moving in the video world and video world moving into voice." Or trying to. One of his frustrations is watching companies end up with AV systems that are merely passable as a function of buying them from IT or even voice companies. Without standards, he says, how does a client know what is good and what is just good enough? At the same time, he says it hasn't been easy for those AV companies who committed a few years ago to a broader market. "It can be difficult for a video-based AV company to deploy BYOD or instant message or presence. They can stumble." For companies willing to try—AVI-SPL, Technical Innovation (TI), among others—that has meant investment in knowledge, people, certification, and in some cases acquisitions and partnerships with companies in disciplines such as cloud conferencing. Depperschmidt says companies are now starting to make a return on that investment. Technical Innovation CEO Mike Landrum has publicly cited videoconferencing as a key part of TI's revenue growth last year.
Depperschmidt says the market is in the billions—and that's part of the challenge. "There are companies getting involved in this that make AVI-SPL look small," he says and adds that these behemoth companies are finding ways to offer AV systems integration as part of a comprehensive voice/data/video/network play. He says it can be hit and miss, sometimes the voice and IT companies find quality AV partners, or hire quality AV people, and sometimes they don't, and may put in systems that don't meet AV quality standards.
"There is still a place for quality AV integrators; there's still a business in that," Depperschmidt says. But it's a changing landscape with changing players. "What we're seeing is people playing their positions with the customers that already trust them. A big telco may hire an AV integrator to do everything but the Cisco gear. People seem pretty happy with that arrangement. The purchase of the Cisco gear is going through a certified voice/network partner. They're then handing it to somebody who goes out and integrates.
"The question for the end-user becomes, what kind of capability does this integrator have that they've hired? Are they really good or just somebody we found? Is there a baseline of AV integration expertise?" Depperschmidt says.

We should talk. Did you know your lifetime odds for developing skin cancer are a whopping 1 in 5?
Treatment of nonmelanoma skin cancers (melanoma is the most life-threatening form) jumped by almost 77 percent from 1992 to 2006.
And even more startling: From 1970 to 2009, melanoma diagnosis increased by 800 percent in young women and 400 percent in young men.
Thankfully, regularly using sunscreen can slash that risk. (And so can never, ever going anywhere near a tanning bed!)
But with store shelves packed with hundreds of brands of sunscreens in all kinds of formulations, choosing the right one can be downright confusing.
Here's how to stay safe in the sun this summer:
Step No. 1: Choose a sunscreen with minerals.
We're concerned about chemical sunscreens with active ingredients that are absorbed into the skin and, in small amounts, into the bloodstream.
Some act as endocrine disruptors, mimicking hormones in the body. We don't know yet what the health effects could be, so play it safe.
Look for sunscreens that contain zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or both. These finely crushed minerals work by reflecting and scattering the sun's ultraviolet rays like a protective shield. (In contrast, other sunscreens absorb the sun's rays, releasing the damaging energy as heat.)
Our top choice is zinc oxide because it's best at blocking both UV-A rays, which harm cells deep in the skin, and UV-B rays, which cause sunburn.
Step No. 2: Avoid chalky-looking skin, go micronized.
Like you, we prefer invisible protection over a thick white coating that'll leave you looking like an extra from "Beach Blanket Bingo."
So buy a sunscreen containing micronized zinc oxide that won't leave you looking smeary. (There is some concern that nanoparticles of zinc oxide, and also of titanium dioxide, allow for absorption into the skin, making these potential body pollutants. We'll keep you informed as data emerges.)
Step No. 3: SPF 30 is all you need.
Higher sun protection factors offer little extra shielding. Staying in the sun too long because you think you're covered could lead to skin damage.
Step No. 4: Use plenty, and reapply.
Most people skimp on sunscreen, missing out on full protection.
The only protection your skin needs is an ounce (a shot glass worth) of SPF 30 micronized zinc oxide, spread thickly to cover all skin exposed when you're wearing a bathing suit (it depends on your body size, natch!).
Reapply, usually every two hours, or sooner if you're swimming or sweating.
Step No. 5: Dress to thwart the sun.
Wear a long-sleeved shirt and pants when gardening, strolling or sitting by the pool or shore.
Tightly woven, dyed fabrics block more rays than gauzy or white materials. But since those rarely give more protection than SPF 6, consider using sun-guard clothing with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 15 to 50.
You also can wash sun protection into clothing with laundry additives containing the sunscreen Tinosorb.
Step No. 6: Shade your face and peepers.
Slap on a broad-brimmed hat and large sunglasses. These protect delicate facial skin, which deserves a dose of sunscreen year-round, and eyes; they take the brunt of sun exposure in all seasons.
Step No. 7: Take vitamin D-3 and omega-3 DHA.
It's true that well-protected skin misses out on the sun exposure your body needs to produce vitamin D. But that's no reason to go outdoors unprotected.
A daily vitamin D-3 supplement assures you of a year-round supply of this important vitamin. The sun's rays are too weak to make sufficient D year-round in the northern half of the U.S. and Canada, anyway. Aim for 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3 daily.
Meanwhile, dig into salmon or wild trout twice a week, or get 900 mg of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA from a daily algal oil supplement. One reason sunshine harms skin is that it suppresses the immune system. A new report reveals omega-3 DHA keeps immunity strong, even when you're playing in the summer sun.

I used to babysit this little girl. Not only did I swear in front of her, but I've also never forbade her from cursing herself. I think she was about 7 when she decided to start swearing like a sailor. Without any explanation at all, she knew perfectly well that it was not appropriate language for public or around those who would be offended by it.
She knew from an early age not only how to curse, but when and where it was appropriate. I know many adults who still haven't learned that lesson. Frankly, I've always found those who are offended by cursing to be shallow and desperately in need of something better with which to occupy their mind.
I didn't swear much even before I became a parent.
That said, I don't think you're "bad people" for cursing, any more than you'd be "bad people" for smoking, But I do see both as bad habits and reason enough to switch tables at a restaurant when the atmosphere resulting from either one gets too thick.
A lot depends on the swear word. I barely notice the occasional hell and damn. I did notice the barrage of fuck this, shit that, fag, bitch, and asshole rising from a crowd of teens at the mall while waiting to see 'The Hobbit' (which was awful). They came across as annoying, dim, crass, childish, and lacking in self-control. I'm not saying they actually ARE those things. But they did come across that way.
I realize that's not fair in the George Carlin sense. But my daughter is too young to understand that kind of nuance.
Cursing can sound harsh. I remember cursing as a child and it was pretty much "acting out" so the cursing was a symptom of what was going on with me at the moment. This could've been something as insignificant as a few to many ribbon candies. Sometimes it was to impress older kids, and the fact that my parents used them when they were really upset with myself or my brothers I also thought of them as "power words". These "power words" were a part of the last straw which inevitably led up to my parents getting me to do what they had asked in the first place.
I do curse but I it's basically when I allow myself to be lazy and unimaginative. The context is a huge thing for me. I ask myself "Can I comprehensively explain this context to a child (of whatever age)?" and what does it mean if I do. The context of the F-bomb can be the difference between a somewhat derogatory word for sex or it may mean "broken" or "messed up". example: "That car is fucked." There is also the more vague slavic definition meaning "to beat pierce or stab". I am comfortable explaining the context some of these but in the context of sex not so much. I would hate for them to form the habit of using that term that some people see as degrading the act of sex. Depending on the age and the particular child they may just understand this though.
I try not to do anything in front of kids that I can't explain comprehensively and provide some guidance for the use. I don't encourage them but most of the time cursing isn't all that offensive to me and I think most people know when one is trying to be offensive as oppose to just being unimaginative or adding emphasis to a statement. Some people will be offended no matter what and will try to puritanically shame you over use of cursing. I'm not one of those people.
My opinion is it is always better to encourage a variety of vocabulary. It sounds less ignorant, less harsh and has more all around use in life. This -I think -in part comes from example. (rhetorical) Would you rather your kids hear you say "I just raked the garden, now it's all fucked up again!" or " I just raked the garden, now I'll need to defoliate again." (Defoliate: Remove leaves from (a tree, plant, or area of land), for agricultural purposes or as a military tactic.) Words are great.
There is one word that I'd rather define and another that I would rather not. I don't think it's particularly wrong to curse in front of kids but I think there are a lot of great, clever alternatives. I'd prefer to refer to a person as "uncomplicated" rather than "simple" or "simpleton". I think the only they that concerns me in what you posted here is that eventually children want to know "Why?". Why not curse around family?, why just at home?, Why not at school? etc. Hopefully you have some answers on hand if this should come up.
Yes, and my son (14) curses on occasion as well. He is smart enough to know without being told that there are times and places where cursing is not appropriate and sticks to that. At home, if you drop the "f-bomb" hey, shit happens right?
I say express yourself and FUCK the idiots.
2 questions.
Do you love your child?
Does your child know that you love him?
If the answer is Yes to both, then phuck what others say or think...love for the win.
The way I look at it is that words are just words. They only have the meaning you give them. If my use of the word "fuck" or "shit" offends you, well sorry, but that's your deal. I honestly think people should just stop looking at swears as bad words. I don't see any reason to view them as bad.
I do not have children, but I do mind my language around my nephews. I am more careful at work as well. Other than than I curse like a drunken sailor. Even a post graduate education could not cure me. Especially cus if I know you are a good xtian.
Nope. I like alternatives. For example, in front of my nieces and nephews I say "Jimminy Christmas". It's kind of funny, because there's an irony there. Everyone knows what word you could have used. Everyone knows that the children, in 20 years, will likely be swearing to some extent. But there's also something to be said about the attempt. I think it shows character. To me, it's a matter of letting kids know that most the things adults use curse words for are actually sort of goofy, and not nearly as serious as we think, much less so much so that they require damning to hell and getting fucked and comparing to shit. Because, I mean... kids. Right?

New York City is about to crack down on soda but parents still face a challenge: weaning their children of the sugary stuff. Awareness of childhood obesity is just beginning, and the statistics are troubling: one in three children are obese and this generation of children is expected to have a shorter lifespan than their parents.
Non-sugary drinks, like water, are just not cool enough for kids, says Rose Cameron. Between 2005 and 2007, before she launched her WAT-AAH! brand of bottled water for kids, 36 beverages aimed at the younger demographic were introduced and all of them contained colors or sweeteners.
"As a mom, I've tried it all, all the tricks," says Cameron, who has two boys aged 13 and 9, "Bribe them, promise them this or that, put a dash of lemon or orange in the water." Nothing worked. Cameron, a former advertising executive, decided to bring her branding skills to bear and tried serving water in a "cute little container." This time her approach stuck. The kids thought that the new container was cool.
And that's how Rose Cameron stumbled on an idea that the big soft drink companies missed altogether: a healthy drink that kids would adopt as cool. She realized that many mothers face the same dilemma about getting their kids to avoid sugary drinks, but the alternatives were not appealing to kids. Cameron decided to come up with a water brand for kids, by kids. And in 2008, the WAT-AAH! brand of water was born.
Cameron gathered her two sons and her partner's children around her dining room table to discuss the potential for a kid brand. The name WAT-AAH! was born during an informal focus group after the kids screamed "water", and it sounded like "Wat-aah." The screaming also inspired the brand's logo, which came from her sons drawing each other with large mouths. Her sons chose the colors, the style, and the sleek shaped bottle. They even starred in the first commercials for WAT-AAH!
The kids pretty much made all the creative decisions, which gave the brand its authenticity.
Cameron started selling WAT-AAH! from the trunk of her car. "We went door to door," she says. "I started in my neighborhood, in TriBeCa, knocked on every door, every single deli. In our first week, we got about seven delis."
Now, her little water company has grown from five unpaid interns to 30 full-time employees with national distribution. And WAT-AAH! is selling in more than 10,000 stores across the country including Whole Foods Market, Albertson's, Shop-Rite, Food Lion, Shaw's and Kroger.
Rose Cameron says her company is about much more than making a profit, "It really is about helping kids stay healthy." WAT-AAH! has been the sponsor of the "Let's Move! Flash Workout", one of First Lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity projects, and it is involved in a number of other programs helping kids lead a healthier lifestyle.
I asked Cameron what advice she'd give other entrepreneurs. "If you believe in your idea, don't give up," she says, "Even if people tell you that you can't succeed because the competition is too powerful."

"It seems like what he generates ought to be available. What he produces should be public; we're paying for it," said Waitsfield Select Board member Paul Hartshorn this week in response to queries from taxpayers as to why parts of appraisal data are not readily available to the public.
At its June 25 meeting, the select board heard from a roomful of taxpayers with questions about how the town's appraisal contractor, Spencer Potter, maintains and provides access to public records.
The issue was raised by taxpayer Brenda Shea, who appealed her 2006 appraisal to the state level. While preparing for her hearing before the state appraiser she went looking for the town's records. She discovered that something called the cost report was not included in the public file and was told that it is not included because it is confusing to taxpayers.
The cost reports which Shea sought provide a detailed breakdown of estimated values for individual components of a property. It will include estimated values for items such as ponds, siding, roof, landscaping and more.
At this week's hearing, a roomful of taxpayers turned out to ask why it is not included and to question other practices of the town's contracted appraisers with regard to public records.
"I feel like I should have had that information. It's generated on town computers and is a detail of what goes into your total appraisal. It makes me angry that the information is being held back and is not available," Shea told the board.
"That piece of information is a breakdown of your total assessment. It's a really important piece of information. You can't look at comparables in the town and get a perspective without it. Brenda could not fully prosecute her appeal without it. I think this town has a problem with its lister cards in general. The 1996 cards were destroyed. I think the board has got to take a serious look at this and evaluate whether the town wants to continue its contract," said resident Bob Shaffer.
Resident Al Carr said that he had asked the Potter's office (Spencer Potter is contracted with the town to provide appraisal services and has one employee, David Martin, working with him in Waitsfield) to see the comparables that were used to appraise his property and was told to find his own comparables. Mike Kingsbury said he was pointed to the property appraisal file and told to find his own comparables.
"And what is available when you look in the files is the total values of the properties rather than the breakdown by components so you're not getting true comps anyway," Shaffer said.
"Why is this information not readily available? Transparency is the strength of any organization and this organization is not transparent," asked resident Marta Marble.
Select board member Roy Hadden said that he did not think board of civil authority deliberations over individual property appeals were public, but said the listers evidence should be available.
Board member Charlie Hosford suggested that the board consult with the Vermont secretary of state's office to determine what is and what is not a public record.
Vermont Deputy Secretary of State Bill Dalton said that it is his impression that all parts of appraisal data are public records. He said that taxpayers could make formal requests for all data related to their appraised value using Vermont's right to public access laws. He said that the wording of such requests should compel production of all the data.
At the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, Jim Barlowe concurred that cost reports should be part of the public record, according to Waitsfield administrator Valerie Capels who contacted him after this week's meeting.
Gussie Graves, head of Fayston's listers' office, said that Fayston considers the cost reports to be part of the public record. She said that she adamantly believes she has a right to know how the town values each aspect of her property as well as the individual aspects of other properties in the town.
At this week's meeting, board member Charlie Hosford asked the public if there were other issues to bring up regarding appraising and how the town conducts them. Town resident Jim Marble asked about Potter and to whom he answers.
"Is his contract a matter of public record?" Marble asked.
"He answers to us and we renew his contract," said board chair Elwin Neill Jr.
'I don't like that those cost reports weren't available," Neill added.
Others present asked if the board would discuss this town policy issue with Potter in open session and Hosford said he'd love to see it happen in open session. He cautioned, as did Neill, that because the town is involved in litigation over some property appraisals that the entire discussion may not be public.
"We need to talk about these issues, our contractor and the process. Last year we had this issue on our list of things to look at once the town-wide reappraisal and the appeals were done," Neill said.

You know LED lights work extremely well in flashlights, lanterns and home lighting systems, but did you know that exposure to certain types of LEDs can have positive health benefits?
That's right! Exposure to blue and red LED lights, called LED light therapy, can help with a number of health problems, from acne to eczema and cancer to flesh wounds.
Though the more advanced treatments are still criticized by skeptics, LED light therapy has been proven to help prevent and treat acne, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and treat eczema. Here's how it works:
Patients usually receive treatment for about twenty minutes twice a week. LED bulb strength varies, but most treatments are done using red or blue LED lights. The LED light exposure stimulates growth in skin cells by 150% – 200%, meaning skin imperfections heal themselves much faster. In fact, in a study done by David J. Goldberg and Bruce A. Russell, skin specialist from New York, NY, patients receiving LED light therapy showed marked improvement in their mild to severe acne. In their report, Goldberg and Russell state that, "blue and red LED therapy appears to have excellent potential in the treatment of mild to severe acne. Treatment appears to be both pain- and side effect-free."
LED light therapy has also been used to help speed up the healing process on flesh wounds and in cancer patients. Because skin cells react so well to LEDs, light therapy is considered a relatively safe, non-intrusive treatment option. Despite successful studies, many professionals are still skeptical about the efficiency of LED light therapy.
Talk to your doctor or dermatologist if you think you or someone you know may benefit from LED light therapy.

The Millennium FalconWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | firstname.lastname@example.com
It has been 35 years since I owned a bicycle. My first few yards riding one recently were laughably wobbly. The silver helmet strapped to my head felt awkward and limiting, but it was important for my 4- and 6-year-old sons to see me wear one, as they are required to. The 10-speed Schwinn, a secondhand bike purchased from a repair shop, felt uncomfortable in my hands and under my frame as I picked up speed. I found a rhythm much sooner than I had expected, and I soon found myself racing down the street, leaving houses and people behind.
Then I saw a car backing out of a driveway about 15 yards ahead, and in my panic to stop, I braked too quickly, without planting a foot on the concrete.
I flew over the handlebars, with just enough time to wonder if I was about to break any bones before I slammed into the ground.
Freedom on spokes
She was a sturdy bicycle, a Free Spirit purchased in 1978 at the Woodville Mall Sears. She was as blue as the mid-July Ohio sky, rust-free and sleek, built to carry a 12-year-old boy on the sidewalks, across bridges and down the summer roads that ran between school years.
We lived in a duplex apartment in Walbridge, on Cedar Court, a cul-de-sac with spokes of driveways that backed up with rainwater after even modest storms.
That bicycle, as I suspected through instinct and eventually learned from experience, embodied freedom, an opportunity to stretch the boundaries and borders of summer. I treasured that means to run and race and leave home behind, as I would one day cling to the cars that open even broader horizons.
She was sturdy, blue, as fast as anything with pedals, and I named her after the fastest vehicle I could think of — The Millennium Falcon. "Star Wars" was barely a year old, and it filled my imagination and playtime. I carefully applied stickers to the bike from the red series of Topps "Star Wars" cards — one of the Falcon soaring through the galaxy, one labeled "Han and Chewbacca" and a third of the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. The stickers were undoubtedly duplicates in my collection, as I prized the full set of cards and stickers I collected from dime purchases at Blanton's and the Rexall Drugs in "downtown" Walbridge and never would have broken up the set.
I must have ridden that bike for thousands of miles, heedless and helmetless, through our Walbridge neighborhood, around the Clinton and Clayton street loop and down S. Main Street. Her bell was a dinky little chime, but to my ears, it sounded like a powerful laser cannon aimed at the Empire's evil agents. I would pedal faster and faster, expecting the wheels to leave the ground any moment, to propel me through the atmosphere, past the clouds and into deep space.
It seems inconceivable now that parents would let a child just take off for the day with no cellphone to check in, for eight hours or more, but it was a different world then, with less awareness of and attention to the dangers of perversion that keep children in virtual backyard prisons today.
Most often, my destination was between Wilber and E. Union streets to my best friend John Bleau's house, where a summer day would be spent playing ball, listening to records and splashing in a backyard pool. The Falcon carried me there, never once failing to transport me through what seemed like a universe of open space and freedom.
I would pull into John's yard and rest the Falcon in the shade, knowing it would be there when it was time to go home.
For several summers, I cherished that bike, keeping it clean and oiled and carefully storing it in the shed every winter. Its first damage came from a confrontation with three bullies outside Blanton's. I do not recall what started the fight but I have a clear memory of scuffling with them, being knocked down, not hurt, but panicking when they grabbed the Falcon and began pounding on her seat to bend it, kicking at the chain guard and laying her on her side to stomp on and bend the rear tire rim. They had not landed any significant punches on me, and as I was never much of a fighter, I certainly had not yet caused them any harm. But I welled with rage when they attacked my bike, and I know at least one of them left the scene with a bloodied nose and another left large sections of his forearm skin on the sidewalk.
I pushed the wobbling Falcon home, crying, grieving at her damage and shaking from the post-adrenaline letdown. The bike was eventually fixed, although she never rode quite the same.
The Falcon continued to serve me well, through subsequent moves that accompanied my father's descent into alcoholism and his eventual abandonment. The rust grew on her visibly and uncontrollably, her deterioration echoing the slow collapse of our family. I insisted on taking that bike with me as our family slipped from Walbridge to a tiny apartment in Northwood to a sudden and culture shock-inducing move to Toledo's South Side. She was sitting in a hallway storage area on the July 5, 1985 night our apartment building caught fire and burned to a husk.
The last time I saw her, she was a blackened frame with melted tires. The "Star Wars" stickers had long ago faded and peeled but there was no sign of them at all. Her chain hung loose, her handlebars were charred, her bell was a lump of fused metal, silent forever.
Spokes of freedom
I sat up on the grass, mildly shaken but in one piece. My new bike lay on the sidewalk, unharmed. My sons pedaled over to make sure I was OK, my 4-year-old's training wheels rattling on the sidewalk. I needed to show the boys the importance of getting right back on the bike after a fall, so I did, knowing I would be sore later but making no accommodation for that at the time. I straightened my helmet and started pedaling. The three of us slowly made our way around the block, watching for cars in driveways and pretending championship racing was at stake. My boys and I rode under a mid-May blue sky, pedaling to nowhere, enjoying the ride.
Their bike bells are dinky little chimes, but as my sons rang them, I could see in their eyes that they were imagining far more adventurous sounds.
It did not occur to me to name my new bike. But as we rode, I felt like that 12-year-old boy again, expecting the wheels to leave the ground any moment, to propel me through the atmosphere, past the clouds and into deep space.

The title of "The Half Had Not Been Told Me: African Americans on Lafayette Square" is taken from a Biblical reference Frederick Douglass used to describe the beauty of the new Freedman's Savings Bank and Trust building, once located on Lafayette Square. Douglass compared the experience of seeing the building for the first time to the way the Queen of Sheba, an African queen, felt upon seeing the riches of King Solomon. Douglass wrote, "The whole thing was beautiful. . . I felt like the Queen of Sheba when she saw the riches of Solomon, that 'half had not been told me'."
Lafayette Square—known first as President's Square—is a landscape with a rich and varied African American history. Prior to emancipation, both free and enslaved African Americans lived and worked here. The area has also been home to important institutions, such as the Reconstruction-era Freedman's Savings Bank and the Belasco Theater, one of the few venues in segregated Washington where black entertainers were allowed to perform before desegregated audiences. And it has been a place where people took a stand—from an enslaved woman who sued Henry Clay for her freedom in 1829 to citizens gathering at St. John's Church in 1963, in preparation for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Just like the riches of King Solomon that Frederick Douglass referred to, the African American history of Lafayette Square is indeed a treasure.

World War II aviator's Purple Heart comes homeBy MICHAEL RUBINKAM
The Associated Press | November 10,2013Gordon H. Yates was a tall, skinny redhead who joined the Navy during World War II when he was 17. Two years later, the young aviator was dead, beheaded by the enemy after his patrol bomber was shot down in waters off southeast Asia.
Saturday, Purple Hearts Reunited presented the medal he was awarded decades ago to his sister in southeastern Pennsylvania. Yates family had lost track of the medal at least as far back as 1979 when his father died.
Yates 80-year-old sister, Alva Brickner, now afflicted with Parkinsons disease, cant communicate very well, but her son said her reaction was unmistakable when he told her the medal had been found.
She teared up, Daniel Brickner said. She just kept writing, Thank you.
Yates was aboard a patrol bomber flying its 36th mission when it was shot down, according to an account provided by Purple Hearts Reunited.
The crew made it to shore and hid in the jungle aided by French Resistance fighters but Yates and his mates eventually fell into Japanese hands.
While some of Yates comrades were shot, Yates was beheaded on April 27, 1945. He was 19.
Zachariah Fike, founder of Purple Hearts Reunited, surmised that Yates was either defiant or perhaps his captors believed they were according him an honor by killing him with a sword.
No one will ever know why, said Fike.
Daniel Brickner said he believes the Purple Heart a combat decoration awarded to those wounded or killed in action was likely in the possession of his grandfather, then inadvertently sold at an estate sale following his 1979 death.
The medal wound up with a woman in Ashland, Va., who had it for more than 30 years. The woman recently told the adjutant of the Richmond chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart that she couldnt remember where she got it, but had always planned to find its rightful owner.
At some point, the Purple Heart was misplaced. But the woman recently located it in her home again and turned it in, according to Fike, whose nonprofit has returned 60 lost or stolen medals. Fike presided over Saturdays ceremony in Narvon, Lancaster County, where Alva Brickner lives in a nursing home.
It was probably one of the most heartwarming events Ive been to, with the family dynamic, Fike said afterward. There were about 20 family members in attendance. It was an awesome event.MORE IN Wire NewsTORONTO Full StoryCENTENNIAL, Colo. Full StoryWASHINGTON Facing increased competition from within her own party, Hillary Rodham Clinton is... Full Story

A dozen years have passed since the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival took shape. Seven vineyards participated in the Yadkin Valley festival spanning Surry, Yadkin, Wilkes and small portions of Forsyth and Davie counties.
This year, 27 wineries will participate in the festival, according to the Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce.
"Right now it's all about the wine festival here at the chamber," said Misty Matthews, interim-president for the Yadkin Valley Chamber of Commerce. "First and foremost the success of the festival can't be done without our committee members and the tremendous effort they provide to help steer and coordinate the event. They have been so involved with the wine festival from the beginning."
According to Matthews, most people who show up at the day-long event may not be completely aware that most of the work begins at planning sessions months earlier.
"As a committee, we meet 16 times a year, but meet twice a month in April and May," said Matthews, who points to smaller sessions that take place in between. "Doing so allows everyone to collaborate and share ideas on making the event go without hiccups. These committee members run from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. at the festival just to make sure everyone is happy. However, they put in so much time prior, it's unbelievable. That's because they know how important this festival is for the region."
The group discusses issues including: the venue, attendances, parking lots, ticket sales, restroom availability, and garbage disposal.
"Even before that, promotion of the event is a focus. Continuously getting the word out about the venue is vital, and that means tapping into relationships. It happens every day. Meanwhile, answering questions over the phone from people who call for information, putting together the program that maps out how visitors to the region can spend their time. It all requires constant attention and focus," said Matthews.
Matthews pointed to coordination of crafters and vendors, saying that also takes a bit of work too.
"We try to keep the vendors selling items that are wine related: barrels, baked goods, cheeses, pottery from locals, candles, and food," she said.
This year, the festival will have crab cakes, humus platters, and all of the items that connect with wine.
According to Matthews, sales are also important for the success of the event. Participating wineries do have a cost. They pay for their employees and for the wine they pour for tastings.
"In exchange, we do not charge them a fee. We do sell tickets to the event helping to raise revenue for the chamber, so this festival very much depends on how many people sign up and buy tickets, but how many people help buy wine too."
Matthews said the wine check tent is always packed. She points to strong sales by wineries, though she doesn't keep track of that data. Volunteer runners transport purchases from winery stations to the tent, thus allowing for consumers to keep shopping and enjoying other activities in the festival.
That also means enjoying entertainment.
"This year we didn't want to go with a big name band," said Matthews. "We wanted the music fresh and entertaining and want to give attention to local bands to showcase what they have to offer. In addition, we want the attention focused on the wineries. The festival has a nice balance of both."
Music is provided by Natty Boh Duo playing from 11 a.m. until noon; Porch Dog Revival at 12:30 p.m. until 2 p.m.; Blues DeVille from 2:30 p.m. until 4 p.m.; and L Shape Lot will perform from 4:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.
"My favorite is Natty Boh Duo," said Matthews. "Because whenever we have booked them in the past Mother Nature gives us sunshine."
Rain or shine, the festival goes on, she says.
Tickets to the festival are available for $20 in advance. "Most people call our office or go to Lowe's to get tickets," said Matthews.
According to the Yadkin Valley Wine Festival website, food and non-wine beverages will be available for purchase from selected vendors. Anyone tasting, purchasing or consuming wine at the festival must be at least 21 years of age and be wearing a tasting wristband.
Wristbands available with paid admission and check of positive photo identification. Picnic tables are available for vendor-purchased food, lawn space is available for blankets, and bleacher seating is located in front of the bandstand. For insurance, health and safety reasons, pets are prohibited on the festival grounds. No outside coolers or outside alcohol may be brought into the festival.

Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages one to four.
Young children drown quickly and silently in as little as one inch of water. For every child who drowns, five more need emergency medical care for injuries that can result in life changing brain damage. The good news is that drowning tragedies can be prevented by constantly supervising children at all times when they are near water.

DCFS has the primary responsibility of protecting children through the investigation of suspected abuse or neglect by parents and other caregivers in a position of trust or authority over the child. Call the 24-hour Child Abuse Hotline at 800-25-ABUSE (800-252-2873 or TTY 1-800-358-5117) if you suspect that a child has been harmed or is at risk of being harmed by abuse or neglect. If you believe a child is in immediate danger of harm, call 911 first. Your confidential call will not only make sure the child is safe, but also help provide the child's family the services they need to provide a safe, loving and nurturing home.
Children are the embodiment of innocence and hope for the future. We all agree that every child deserves to grow up in a nurturing environment where they are loved, cared for, secure, and protected from verbal, sexual, emotional and physical abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Both child abuse and child neglect cause serious harm to child development and have lifelong effects that reduce well-being and productivity and create greater demands on society.
Agencies and organizations that seek to do business with DCFS can now open a new road map to navigate the procurement process. DCFS has launched the tailored and targeted on-line training, Doing Business with DCFS, which includes a comprehensive how-to guide and a useful resource directory for technical assistance.

Museum Hires New Exhibition Designer/Chief Preparator
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University has hired David Andersen of the Frye Art Museum in Seattle as its new exhibition designer/chief preparator.
"We are extremely pleased to have someone of David's background, training and many years of experience join our staff," Museum Director John Olbrantz said.
Andersen will begin his new position in early October. He will be responsible for the design and installation of permanent and temporary exhibitions, the transportation of artwork and related duties. He replaces Keith Lachowicz who left last spring to accept the position of collection manager/registrar at the Regional Arts and Culture Council in Portland.
A native of California, Andersen holds an associate of arts degree from American River College, a bachelor of arts degree from the University of California, Davis, and a master of fine arts degree from the University of Idaho. From 1992-96, he worked as chief preparator at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture in Spokane, and he has been exhibition designer/chief preparator at the Frye Art Museum since 1996. There he coordinated and installed more than 150 permanent and temporary exhibitions and managed 12,000 square feet of gallery space comprising permanent and temporary galleries.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art was founded in 1998 to serve as an artistic, cultural and intellectual resource for Willamette University, the city of Salem, the mid-Willamette Valley and beyond. Four permanent galleries feature European, Asian and American art, Native American baskets, historic and contemporary regional art, and European and American works on paper. Two temporary exhibition spaces include historic and contemporary art.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art is located at 700 State St. (corner of State and Cottage streets) in downtown Salem near the campus of Willamette University. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The galleries are closed on Monday. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for seniors and students. Children younger than 12 are admitted free, and Tuesday is an admission-free day. For more information, call 503-370-6855 or go to www.willamette.edu/museum_of_art.

The DECC was started in 1988 when Denver Mayor Federico Pena signed an executive order creating the Denver Employees' Combined Campaign (DECC) in order to provide City employees with a "responsive and convenient system of charitable giving through payroll deductions." Since this first year, the DECC has been a continual source of sustainable funding for local nonprofits that continues to grow. In 2013, participating City employees increased their gifts to a remarkable average of over $265 per person! The generous investments by employees in non-profits has brought the total giving from the campaign to nearly $12 million dollars over the history of the DECC.
The DECC strives to promote and support philanthropy by providing a cost-effective and employee-focused way for city employees to donate to nonprofits providing support in health and human services, education, social change, arts, environment conservation, and animal welfare. Employees are able to designate their donations to one or more nonprofits through payroll deduction, cash, check, or credit card. All donations are voluntary and tax-deductible.
Now entering its 27th year, the online giving tool, which reduces waste and makes giving fast, easy, and more secure, employees can give to any of their favorite 501c3s. The DECC aims to bring together employees through events and volunteer opportunities to support their neighbors and make create an everlasting legacy in Denver.
Mayor Hancock and the DECC Committee have designated Mile High United Way for management of the DECC. If you have any comments or questions, please contact Ian Jacobs at 303-561-2205 or e-mail Ian at email@example.com.

I made a few tissue cozy's for a few of my friends who also cry as much as me. We needed them last Thursday night. The kids all sang a dinosaur songs that they sang when they were in kindergarten. Their voices all seem as sweet. Ahhhh! Tearing up again. I have to get a tissue.
I used the tutorial from tutti fruiti. And they do only take 5 minutes! This fabric is from fabric shack, summer in the city. They must be out of the paisley. I made a small change, and made two 6x4 rectangles and two 6x4 1/2 rectangles for the top pieces. I kind of like them to overlap a bit.

America's children are missing out on four essential nutrients -- vitamin D, calcium, fiber, and potassium -- according to the U.S. government's proposed new dietary guidelines.
Are your kids getting enough of these vital nutrients? Here's what they do for your child, how much your child needs, and how to get them into your child's diet.
Vitamin D: The "It" Vitamin
Vitamin D is the hottest vitamin on researchers' radar these days -- and most people don't get enough of it.
A shortfall of vitamin D has been linked to adult conditions including osteoporosis, breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease, and depression. It's not yet clear if vitamin D prevents those conditions, but vitamin D deficiency is becoming more of a concern than in the past.
Experts agree that vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium and maximize bone growth and strength. Kids who get too little vitamin D can develop soft bones, a condition called rickets, early in life, and osteoporosis, which typically shows up later in life.
How much vitamin D to get: The AAP recommends getting a minimum of 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D per day. Another organization, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which sets the U.S. government's official nutrient recommendations, has also revised its vitamin D guidelines upward. In its November 2010 guidelines, the IOM recommends a daily dietary allowance [RDA] for vitamin D at a higher daily value of 600 IU for children between 1-18 years old.
Increasing vitamin D: The body makes vitamin D when exposed to strong sunlight, storing extra for future use. Common foods rich in vitamin D include most milk and other fortified foods, such as some brands of breakfast cereals, orange juice, and yogurt. Other foods rich in vitamin D include fattier fish, such as salmon and light tuna.
Supplements are another source of vitamin D. The AAP specifies that children who don't drink a quart of milk fortified with vitamin D take vitamin D supplements to make up for what they miss from their diet.
Calcium: Not Just for Bones
Calcium is best known for helping bones grow and stay strong. It also helps with heart rhythm, blood clotting, and muscle function.
Most calcium is stored in bones. If your child doesn't get enough calcium in their diet, the body will steal it from their bones.
How much calcium to get: Here are the IOM's daily calcium recommendations for children:
- Ages 1-3: 500 milligrams
- Ages 4-8: 800 milligrams
- Ages 9-18: 1,300 milligrams
Many U.S. children, especially teens, get far too little calcium -- and those are crucial bone-building years.
"Soft drinks, such as soda and fruit beverages, have infiltrated kids' diets, causing milk to take a back seat," says Jodie Shield, MEd, RD, co-author of the American Dietetic Association's Guide to Healthy Eating for Kids, and mother of three.
Girls may be at particular risk. One study showed that adolescent girls average 814 milligrams a day vs. the recommended 1,300. That may make them more likely to get osteoporosis later on.
"Just before the teen years, and all throughout adolescence, children must get enough calcium to provide the foundation for strong bones," says Shield. "During this time, the body lays down nearly half of all the bone mass it will ever have."
Increasing calcium: Shield suggests offering children low-fat or flavored milks instead of other beverages that offer little more than calories. Including dairy at every meal also ensures that children meet their calcium goals.
Count on getting 300 milligrams of calcium from 8 ounces of any type of milk (including lactose-free) or yogurt, or from 1.5 ounces of hard cheese (such as cheddar).
Orange juice with added calcium and vitamin D is a calcium-rich, but dairy-free, option. Children who don't get enough dairy or fortified choices may need a calcium supplement.
Fiber: Needed for Fullness
On-the-go lifestyles are one reason why kids are eating less fiber than they should. A lack of fiber-filled whole grains and fresh and lightly processed fruits and vegetables -- foods typically eaten at home -- is largely to blame.
"I'm a dietitian and getting my own kids to eat enough fiber is challenging," Shield says.
Fiber helps curb constipation by adding bulk to bowel movements, stimulating the gut to pass waste with greater ease. Fiber also helps kids feel fuller, a handy weapon in the battle of the bulge.
When part of a balanced diet, fiber helps head off type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol in adults, and may work for kids, too. Diets rich in fiber-filled foods may cut the risk of heart disease later in life.
In general, high-fiber foods are packed with vitamins and minerals to fuel growth and development. They also contain beneficial plant compounds called phytonutrients that boost a child's immunity.
How much fiber to get: That depends on your child's age, according to the AAP.
Figure your child's daily fiber quota in grams by adding five to his age. For example, a 5-year-old should get 10 grams of daily dietary fiber.
Increasing fiber: Boost your family's fiber intake by serving a fruit or vegetable (or both) with meals and snacks. Opt for whole-grain breads and cereals, pasta, and other grains.
Also, try to include legumes, including chickpeas, lentils, and white beans in salads, soups, and omelets. Coincidentally, many of these same foods provide potassium and magnesium, too.
Potassium: A Heart Helper
Potassium insures normal heart and muscle function, maintains fluid balance, participates in energy production, and promotes strong bones.
A potassium-rich diet helps head off high blood pressure in adults. Getting children in the habit of eating high-potassium foods may help them keep blood pressure in check as they age, too.
But too many children don't get enough potassium.
"Kids, just like adults, don't eat enough of the fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains that are richest in potassium," Swinney says.
How much potassium to get: Here's how much potassium kids need on a daily basis:
- Ages 1-3: 3,000 milligrams
- Ages 4-8: 3,800 milligrams
- Ages 9-13: 4,500 milligrams
- Ages 14-18: 4,700 milligrams
Increasing potassium: Besides fruits and vegetables, dairy foods, meats, and seafood are also good potassium sources. In general, the more processed the food, the less potassium it provides, and the more sodium in a food, the lower the potassium.
To help your child get enough potassium, serve at least one fruit or vegetable at every meal and snack and encourage your child to eat a balanced diet.
If you're concerned your kids aren't getting the nutrients they need, talk to their pediatrician. And remember, a diet low in processed foods and rich in produce, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy can help them -- and you -- get essential nutrients.

As a soccer referee, it is really enjoyable to watch kids/adults actually play, it is like a dance but sadly most games are not played but merely trying not to lose. I am thankful the Lord encourages us in Hebrews 10:38-39 "to play"
38But the just shall live by faith [My righteous servant shall live [a]by his conviction respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it]; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him.(A)
39But our way is not that of those who draw back to eternal misery (perdition) and are utterly destroyed, but we are of those who believe [who cleave to and trust in and rely on God through Jesus Christ, the Messiah] and by faith preserve the soul.
Excellent point Wes. Just like the throw-ins, I tried to focus on visiting and although that is not the all encompassing part of sponsorship it is a piece of the whole "game" like soccer.
It's sad to think that if you're not in it to win in this world, that you are considered weak or unmotivated.
Thank you so much. I loved this. I want to direct my Compassion team of Advocates in this way — celebrating the little victories, the step by step process of achieving a goal. This will be helpful as a parent, too — as I've had my sights on the distant future instead of on the next step to "coach" them along in…

- Pion chemical equilibration in heavy ion collisions : relativistic quantum molecular dynamic analysis (1992)
- In the framework of relativistic quantum molecular dynamics the authors find that the pion system produced in central heavy-ion collisions at Elab/A approximately 1 GeV/nucl. is out of chemical equilibrium. Pion chemical potential is large and decreases during the expansion stage.
- A self-consistent equation of state for nuclear matter (1993)
- The authors formulate a phenomenological extension of the mean-field theory approach and define a class of thermodynamically self-consistent equations of state for nuclear matter. A new equation of state of this class is suggested and examined in detail.
- Chemical freezeout in relativistic A+A collisions: is it close to the QGP? (1997)
- Preliminary experimental data for particle number ratios in the collisions of Au+Au at the BNL AGS (11A GeV/c) and Pb+Pb at the CERN SPS (160A GeV/c) are analyzed in a thermodynamically consistent hadron gas model with excluded volume. Large values of temperature, T = 140 185 MeV, and baryonic chemical potential, µb = 590 270 MeV, close to the boundary of the quark-gluon plasma phase are found from fitting the data. This seems to indicate that the energy density at the chemical freezeout is tremendous which would be indeed the case for the point-like hadrons. However, a self-consistent treatment of the van der Waals excluded volume reveals much smaller energy densities which are very far below a lowest limit estimate of the quark-gluon plasma energy density. PACS number(s): 25.75.-q, 24.10.Pa
- Equilibrium and nonequilibrium effects in nucleus nucleus collisions (1999)
- Abstract: Local thermal and chemical equilibration is studied for central AqA collisions at 10.7 160 AGeV in the Ultrarelativis- . tic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model UrQMD . The UrQMD model exhibits strong deviations from local equilibrium at the high density hadron string phase formed during the early stage of the collision. Equilibration of the hadron resonance matter is established in the central cell of volume Vs125 fm3 at later stages, tG10 fmrc, of the resulting quasi-isentropic expansion. The thermodynamical functions in the cell and their time evolution are presented. Deviations of the UrQMD quasi-equilibrium state from the statistical mechanics equilibrium are found. They increase with energy per baryon and lead to a strong enhancement of the pion number density as compared to statistical mechanics estimates at SPS energies. PACS: 25.75.-q; 24.10.Lx; 24.10.Pa; 64.30.qt
- Second cluster integral and excluded volume effects for the pion gas (2000)
- The quantum mechanical formula for Mayer s second cluster integral for the gas of relativistic particles with hard-core interaction is derived. The proper pion volume calculated with quantum mechanical formula is found to be an order of magnitude larger than its classical evaluation. The second cluster integral for the pion gas is calculated in quantum mechanical approach with account for both attractive and hard-core repulsive interactions. It is shown that, in the second cluster approximation, the repulsive -interactions as well as the finite width of resonances give important but almost canceling contributions. In contrast, an appreciable deviation from the ideal gas of pions and pion resonances is observed beyond the second clus- ter approximation in the framework of the Van der Waals excluded-volume model.
- Van der Waals excluded volume model for Lorentz contracted rigid spheres (2000)
- Conventional cluster and virial expansions are generalized to momentum dependent interparticle potentials. The model with Lorentz contracted hard core potentials is considered, e.g. as hadron gas model. A Van der Waals-type model with a temperature dependent excluded volume is derived. Lorentz contraction effects at given temperature are stronger for light particles and make their effective excluded volume smaller than that of heavy ones.
- Statistical coalescence model with exact charm conservation (2001)
- The statistical coalescence model for the production of open and hidden charm is considered within the canonical ensemble formulation. The data for the J/psi multiplicity in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A·GeV are used for the model prediction of the open charm yield which has not yet been measured in these reactions.
- Open charm enhancement in Pb + Pb collisions at SPS (2000)
- The statistical coalescence model for the production of open and hidden charm is considered within the canonical ensemble formulation. The data for the J/psi multiplicity in Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A·GeV are used for the model prediction of the open charm yield. We find a strong enhancement of the open charm production, by a factor of about 2 4, over the standard hard-collision model extrapolation from nucleon-nucleon to nucleus-nucleus collisions. A possible mechanism of the open charm enhancement in A+A collisions at the SPS energies is proposed.
- Phase transition in hot pion matter (2000)
- The equation of state for the pion gas is analyzed within the third virial approximation. The second virial coeffcient is found from the pi pi -scattering data, while the third one is considered as a free parameter. The proposed model leads to a first-order phase transition from the pion gas to a more dense phase at the temperature Tpt < 136 MeV. Due to relatively low temperature this phase transition cannot be related to the deconfinement. This suggests that a new phase of hadron matter hot pion liquid may exist.
- Open and hidden charm production in heavy ion collisions at ultrarelativistic energies (2001)
- We consider the production of the open charm and J/psi mesons in heavy ion collisions at BNL RHIC. We discuss several recently developed pictures for J/psi production and argue that a measurement at RHIC energies is crucial for disentangling these di erent descriptions.

Sunday, May 19, 2013
Two teenage girls, who used to be friends, called off their BFF relationship over a boy. One girl dated the boy and then broke up with him. The other girl then started dating the boy, but soon broke up with him also. The boy then went back to girl number one.
Girl number one then started harassing and bullying girl number two. She sent her a Snap Chat photo that depicted a girl holding a steak knife. The caption said "I'm gonna kill you."
At that point girl number two and her mother flagged down a police officer to report the harassment. The officer told girl number two to tell her ex BFF to cease and desist with the messages. The officer then called girl number one's father and told him what was going on. He questioned his daughter who said the picture was for someone else.
Nevertheless he was told to advise his daughter not to make anymore contact with girl number two.
