DALLAS, Aug. 28, 1996 Resolving problems for families of deployed reservists of the 9th Army Reserve Command in Hawaii is an unusually difficult endeavor.
Some of the citizen soldiers live on Pacific islands thousands of miles from the former Sandwich Islands, said Al Balent, the command's family readiness and support coordinator.
"Our ethnic makeup makes us the most culturally diverse Army Reserve command in the country," Balent asserted. "We have a greater percentage of non-white personnel than any other reserve command. That's because Hawaii's population is heavily integrated with Oriental backgrounds, including Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Filipinos, as well as Pacific islanders. Some are from the Northern Marianas, Guam and American Samoa."
Such diversity also makes the Hawaii-based 9th Army Reserve Command a gold mine of Asian and Pacific island languages. "We have native speakers of Tagalog, a Filipino dialect; Chinese Mandarin; Japanese; Korean; and a number of other Asian and Pacific islanders languages," Balent noted.
Different languages coincide with distinct cultural differences, which can create problems for family support coordinators if not handled gingerly, Balent said. "The reservist may be fluent in English, but the parents or grandparents may speak only the native language. If the service member leaves for training or is deployed, there may be difficulties."
Many reservists live long distances from commissaries, exchanges, medical care facilities and morale, welfare and recreation services, he pointed out. "We have to not only provide family support services, but provide them in a way the families are comfortable," Balent noted.
Howard Sugai, the command's public affairs officer, said every unit has its own family support group coordinator. "For example, our two rifle companies in Samoa have their own family support group coordinator," he said. "The same holds true for Saipan, Guam, Alaska and even units on the outer islands of Maui and Hawaii."
More than 30 spouses, unit commanders and family support coordinators gathered in Honolulu last March to discuss the role of family support groups and how to establish them, Sugai noted. Spouses were briefed on what to expect during a mobilization and training exercises.
Balent recalled having to arrange child care and for the caretaker to shop in the commissary and exchange while a single female parent, an Army specialist, was on annual training in a different location.
"This arrangement is commonplace and is a part of the family support group plan," Sugai said. "It's not uncommon for a designated caregiver in the reserve and active components to be allowed to shop for the single parent. But no special arrangements are made if the reservists live far away from the commissary or exchange. It's just a fact of life, not every reservist has the convenience of having these outlets nearby. We on Oahu are truly blessed with three major commissaries and three major exchanges within a 15-mile radius.
"We have units on Guam and Saipan," Sugai said. "However, we have two reservists who commute from the island of Rota to attend drills with their unit in Guam. We also have detachments in Alaska, Japan and Korea."
"We have two infantry companies in American Samoa, which is unlike any other culture you'll see," Balent said. "They use a village chief system (matai) instead of an elected mayor as we do in the states. The chief runs the village and makes decisions similar to the way a mayor does, except it's based more on bloodline. So we have to deal with the chief when we want to do something.
"Samoa is really big into extended families," Balent noted. "It's not uncommon for four generations to live in the same household. It's also not unusual for the reservists to be the primary bread winner. That usually impacts more than just the wife and child, because the reservist is supporting the entire extended family -- parents, grandparents -- as well.
"The American Samoan government is highly supportive and has a lot of pride in our units," he said. "We're the only American military unit in American Samoa."
Guam, the largest and southernmost island in the Mariana Archipelago -- 3,700 miles west of Honolulu -- has been a U.S. territory since the Spanish-American War in 1898. After the war, the Northern Marianas were a part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands and were administered by the United States.
In 1976, Congress approved a covenant that established the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The covenant was fully implemented by presidential proclamation in 1986.
Under the covenant, federal law applies except for minimum wage and immigration laws; the islands are not within the customs territory of the United States and the inhabitants determine their own tax structure.
English is the official language of the covenant. However, the people of the Northern Marianas are predominantly of Chamorro cultural extraction. A number of Carolinians -- Chuukese, Kosraeans, Pohnpeians and Yapese -- and immigrants from other areas of East Asia and Micronesia have also settled in the islands.
The family support office tries to ensure reservists and their families know what facilities are available and where they are, Balent noted. "We've been exploring producing an Army command handbook and we're looking at ways to get it published in other languages -- Korean, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and other languages," he said.
When reservists' families need help, family support coordinators often turn to active Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard in Alaska, Guam and Hawaii for help. "Those folks know the needs best for people in the local areas," Balent said.

The 25th annual and likely the last Harborwalk Festival will be held this Saturday but for the first time it will not be on Front Street.
Georgetown City Council would not approve having the event on Front Street this year, so organizer Peggy Wayne relocated the festival to the Carroll Campbell Marine Complex in Maryville.
She said it will be very much like the festival that has been held in the Historic District but just at a different location.
She is expecting at least 75 vendors with arts, crafts, food, games and many other things for the entire family.
Wayne said from the time the festival begins at 9 a.m. until it wraps up at 6 p.m., there will be something for everyone.
There will be live entertainment which will include a variety of music throughout the day.
History of the festival
The first Harborwalk Festival which was supposed to be a one-time event was held in 1988 to celebrate the opening of the Harborwalk boardwalk which helped revitalize the downtown area which had been suffering a decline in business for years.
However, the day was such a huge success it was decided to make it an annual event.
It was originally run by the Downtown Georgetown Revitalization Association, but in 1994 an organizer from Columbia was hired to put that years festival together. The expense made that impractical the next year which is when Wayne got permission to become the organizer with the help of the Business and Professional Women group.
A few years ago, some merchants on Front Street began to complain about the festival, saying it hurt their business. Some said it was not the same type of event as the annual Wooden Boat Show which also draws a crowd to Front Street.
Wayne defended the festival saying it was not meant to be an upscale festival or one of the great art festivals that are held at other times of the year throughout the county.
Earlier this year, Mayor Jack Scoville expressed his displeasure of holding the festival on Front Street. He said he has the right as mayor to make decisions about when events will be held. He said those decisions are made by staff and he is in charge of the staff.
For the past 15 years, the festival has steadily gone downhill, Scoville said.
Wayne disagrees, saying the festival always attracts several thousand people and helps fill hotel rooms and restaurants the weekend it is held.
A quarter of a century is enough
Wayne said two main factors have helped her decide this will be the final Harborwalk Festival.
She said since the festival no longer has the support of City Council and many of the Front Street merchants, she is ready to put her efforts into something else.
The festival should be on Front Street. Its a downtown festival but they dont want it there. But, it will be a very successful day at the boat landing, Wayne said.
Because the parking lot at the Marine Complex is city property and the grassy areas surrounding the parking lot are in the county, Wayne has been told all the vendors must set up on the grass.
She also said because it has been a quarter of a century, that is a good year in which to end.
It has been 25 years. That is a time of completion, she said.

My kind of colours! Love it.
Nice tile … you're right about the wall color … but you can change that after they're gone.
Love the new shower – the seat, the tile color, everything. And I would leave the wall color – I like the contrast.
Love the new shower! That's what I need. We have that ugly fiberglass thingy!
You doing a "door" or curtain in the new shower?
Your new shower is amazingly like our new shower. We just finished the whole thing this week. We had a granite top put on our double vanity…..so sharp! We painted our walls a cocoa brown.

Earlier this week, police arrested two people who allegedly played roles in forcing two women to have sex for money and holding them against their will.
Now we're getting a glimpse into the secretive world of prostitution, from a woman who lived a similar nightmare and got out.
23-year-old Staysha Hackmann still struggles to get past, her past.
Looking in the Mirror Means Painful Memories
A large tattoo on her neck is visible. She said it was put there by a man she once trusted as her boyfriend. After roughly six months, he eventually became her captor. She was only 19.
"It's a branding. He wanted everybody to know that I belonged to him. It's his stamp," explained Staysha.
In the beginning she says he stretched her boundaries and eventually told her since she was having sex already, she may as well help them both make money.
"It was do it, or get beat."
At first, she wasn't comfortable with the idea, but he eventually convinced her. However, after the reality set in, she says she wanted out...but was unable to leave.
"It was do it or get beat [...] there was no other option," she said.
"It's no longer a choice once you realize that this is not something you want to do."
Staysha said she was able to escape when her captor was put in jail for a different crime.
She is just one of the many people in Medford who find themselves living a life of prostitution...one they desperately want out of.
Abuse Behind Closed Doors
"You don't see the emotional, mental and physical abuse that's happening behind closed doors that's making me afraid to leave, afraid to go anywhere else because this person has threatened my life many times. This person has told me if I leave they'll hunt me down and kill my family," said Hackmann.
That kind of control keeps victims silent and makes cases difficult for police to prosecute.
It's not good, when police and Staysha say many victims are still out there.
"In Medford alone, on the two major websites that are available for that, on any given day, there's at least 20 girls posted," she said.
According to Staysha, that's not even counting girls who walk the streets or take car dates.
A Different World Operating in Front of Our Eyes
"People don't think it's happening in Medford because people don't want to know it's happening. People don't want to know it's happening everywhere in their backyard," said Staysha.
However, even while police have said it happens virtually every hour of every day in Medford, few victims come forward. Many of them even believing they love their captor.
"I had this feeling of loyalty to him. So when he would beat me and he would bring me down, I truly believed that it was my fault that I did something wrong to deserve that," Staysha recalled.
History of Abuse Plays Role in Continued Victimization
"Not only was I in a vulnerable place, I was young. I had been an abused child, I had gone through a lot of different struggles in my life. So I craved that human love and compassion."
In addition, Staysha said many women are afraid to come forward because they believe police will treat them like criminals.
"It's scary because they're talking to you like you did something wrong until they realize that you're in a bad situation and that you don't want to be there anymore," she explained.
According to Detective Williams with the Medford Police Department, police are going through a paradigm shift. Previously, it was common for authorities to arrest prostitutes and treat them like criminals, however now police are beginning to view them more as victims.
Williams said more and more investigators are realizing that most prostitution cases involve people who have a history of victimization.
Trying to Move Forward
Meanwhile, Staysha said she still suffers from PTSD, anxiety and depression. But she's taking life one day at a time.
"I'm going to school now and I'm actually studying psychology so I can help future women who have been victims become survivors."
She's thankful she got out and now hoping she'll help others do the same.
Have a Family Member Who's Been Forced into Prostitution?
According to Staysha maintaining family ties are extremely important.
"If you have somebody that's in that lifestyle then try to be there for them because that's what they need the most. If your family turns you away because they think that you're disgusting, then what else does that person have. That person has no hope at that point."
Staysha's Message to Girls Stuck Having Sex for Money: You're Worth More
Staysha wanted to send a message to girls who are still living a nightmare that she was fortunately able to escape.
"As dangerous as it can be to start looking for [help], your life is worth more. Do it. Find someone to help you. Call the police. Get out, because there's help out there for you. You're not going to be treated as a criminal if you come forward as a victim," said Staysha.

According to Crain's, Rupert Murdoch and News Corp. might be plotting to buy Long Island tabloid Newsday. The news comes shortly after the release of the quarterly results of the Tribune Company (Newsday's owner), which showed a $78 million loss in its continuing operations at the end of 2007. Sam Zell, the new owner of Tribune, had said originally that he wanted to keep all of the print assets together. But in light of the recent numbers, he said in a statement, "We have begun a strategic review." Newsday also owns the free paper am New York. Murdoch has pursued advertising agreements with Newsday before, but was rebuffed. As we all know by now, whatever Murdoch wants, Murdoch gets, so we look forward to seeing where this all ends up. Reps for both companies didn't come up with comments, so we'll see what happens. It's not like a possible bid would stay quiet for long; Murdoch has the subtlety of an open fist in the groin. A soft open fist.

text: CLEMSON, S.C. — Milton Jennings scored a career-high 28 points, including 14 in the last four minutes as Clemson rallied past Virginia Tech 77-70 Sunday to snap a two-game losing streak. The Tigers (11-8, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) had let a double-digit lead slip away and trailed 59-58 when Jennings took over. His foul shot with 3:20 remaining gave Clemson the lead for good at 61-60. Damarcus Harrison's 3-pointer extended the lead and Jennings inched the ball over the rim moments later, then added two more foul shots for a 68-62 lead. The Hokies never got closer than four points the rest of the way.

Romantics in Alaska will find plenty of opportunity for together time, including while enjoying the amazing scenery and wildlife. In many of the towns, you can rent a kayak for two or bikes and head off on a private excursion, looking to spot eagles along the way. In Skagway, plan a hike on a trailhead that takes you up to the turquoise waters of glacier-fed Lower Dewey Lake (3.6 miles round-trip). Snuggle on the back of a Harley on a motorcycle tour of Ketchikan, or book a private boat trip into the wilderness; operator Ketchikan Outdoors will even drop you at a remote spot for a picnic for two. In Juneau, the Mount Roberts Tramway brings you up 2,000 feet, affording lovely harbor views on a sunny day and hiking trails at the top. Or head arm-in-arm to nearby Mendenhall Glacier to take in the blue icebergs in the lake and the glimpses of snow.

Nature Scenes With Lynn Bowen - Laughing gulls see the world from an amazing vantage point
By Lynn Bowen
posted Oct 7, 2012 - 9:20:46am
Florida's beautiful beaches as seen by gulls that soar
Are golden sand, sparkling sea, and waves lapping the shore.
Gazing and dreaming are free. Sunrises count each day,
To be a carefree laughing gull and glide on breezes and watch the happenings below must be a thrill. Gulls see the sun, sea, surf and sand. They watch surfers, swimmers, joggers, hikers, children building sandcastles, folks tanning on towels, and lovers sharing a kiss. Feathered friends like ring-billed gulls, sandpipers, ruddy turnstones, royal terns and brown pelicans fly there also. Everyone looks happy!
Laughing gulls stay healthy and happy with their instinctive way of foraging for food. These birds are scavengers, and will eat fish, invertebrates, insects, or snacks from people.
A laughing gull is 16.5 inches long, weighs 11 ounces, and has a 40-inch wingspan. Its wings are swept back and pointed, making flying so effortless. Laughing gulls have white plumage on their necks and undersides and medium-gray feathers on their backs. Males are slightly larger than females, with larger and deeper bills.
At breeding time, which is March through September, the bird's head becomes a handsome black, showing that he or she is ready to breed. The gray-black bill and legs become a very attractive red-orange.
Laughing gulls live in coastal areas of North America and south to northern South America. Their call is a high-pitched ha...ha...ha, which sounds like laughing, so we know how they got their happy name. It calls "come hither" to gulls and people alike.

Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection Review, Photos, Swatches
Everyday Makeup: Neutral, Natural Eyes with Too Faced
Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection ($34.00) is a new eyeshadow palette from Too Faced's Naturally Naughty Collection for the fall season.
The palette contains nine different shades of eyeshadow crafted by Too Faced's Creative Director, Jerrod Blandino, for easy, effortless looks that work for everyone. It contains: Heaven, a matte cream; Velvet Revolver, a matte, cool-toned taupe; Sexspresso, a matte dark brown; Silk Teddy, a shimmery pink-beige; Push-Up, a shimmery neutral medium brown; Erotica, a lightly shimmered dark charcoal taupe; Nude Beach, a glittery pink champagne; Honey Pot, a shimmery softly muted gold; and Cocoa Puff, a warm-toned chocolate brown with gold shimmer. Each of the three larger eyeshadows are 0.07 oz., while the six smaller shadows are 0.03 oz.
Included with the palette are three how-to cards, detailing the three looks — Day, Classic, and Fashion. For those more eyeshadow savvy, there are definitely many more than three possible looks to create from this palette of nine. I like that the palette contains a mix of mattes, shimmers, and high shimmer/glitters, because it allows you to maximize your looks by adding different dimensions and layers of textures. Also included is a small, pull-out drawer with a double-sided brush (sponge-tip applicator on one side, angled brush on the other side)–not a highlight or a brush I'd personally use unless it was an emergency.
All of the eyeshadows swatched smoothly and went on with a good amount of pigmentation, including the matte shades, which were also smooth and buttery–not chalky at all. I didn't see any of these colors "drag." My favorite shades were Honey Pot and Cocoa Puff. Cocoa Puff is especially stunning with the mix of gold shimmer layered into the chocolate brown. While Nude Beach is pretty, it is extremely frosty/glittery, so it has to be worn with a bit more care, particularly for those with deeper skin tones.
The packaging was cute, but I could have done without the pull-out drawer that only contained the brush (which I didn't like or find particularly useful). By omitting the drawer, the palette would be slimmer and more streamlined. If you're bothered by cardboard/paper packaging, this palette might not be for you, as well. I like the earth-friendly-ness of paper packaging (at least, compared to plastic), so it wasn't an issue for me. I thought the packaging was cute, functional, and worked well overall.
- Product: 8/10
- Value: 9/10
- Ease of Use: 8/10
- Packaging: 7/10
Recommendation: If you're looking for a go-to neutral eye palette, consider Too Faced's Natural Eye. Nine great shades of neutral tone eyeshadows that all work well and go on smoothly (hey, it's hard to find a palette with *all* winning shades!). If you prefer even softer neutrals or only like matte or semi-matte shades, this isn't a good match for you. For $34, this product is well-worth a peek.

295.20 crash on fork call

Re: 295.20 crash on fork call
I am seeing the same problem in 295.49, it was fine before a driver update, I'm not sure what version that was though.
I'm running a multi-threaded program which uses OpenGL (direct X11 setup of GL windows, no QT or Glut), but also needs to fork() to capture a process output.
The stack-trace of the child process below clearly shows that a mutex inside libGL is hanging. Since fork() only "clones" the calling thread, there will be no other thread to unlock this mutex, therefore this is a deadlock situation.
This seems to me to be a bug inside libGL? Anyone any ideas?
I might have to note that it happens only once in a while. I do a lot of forks (a few per second) and usually in about a minute the first child hangs.

Playing Podcasts/Music through the phone NOT the speaker
Is there a way with some third party app to play my podcasts or what not via the phone and not trough the speaker? Lets say I am in an environment such as a library and I forget my earphones. I do not want to play via the speaker but through the phone when I hold it up to my ear. On my old BB there was a way to do this, but not sure about the iphone. Is there a way?
Not that I know of, sorry.
Try not to forget your earphones and perhaps avoid listening to podcasts without earphones in, you know, a library. :)

Utbah Ibn Ghazwan
In the morning we found the horse quite healthy with no sign of ill effects. My sister then said: 'Yaa akhi, I have heard my father saying: Poison does not harm (food) if it is placed on fire and cooked well.'
We then took some of the grain, placed it in a pot and put it on a fire. After a short while my sister called out: 'Come and see how it has become red and the husks have begun to separate leaving white grains.'
We placed the white grains in a large bowl and Utbah said to us: 'Mention the name of Allah on it and eat it.' We ate and found it exceedingly delicious and good. We learnt after that the grain was called rice."
The army of Utbah then went on to the fortified city of al-Ubullah on the banks of the River Euphrates. The Persians used al-Ubullah as a massive arms depot. There were several fortresses in the city from which towers sprang. These were used as observatio n posts to detect any hostile movements outside the city.
The city appeared to be impregnable. What chance had Utbah of taking it with such a small force armed with only swords and spears? A direct assault was obviously futile and so Utbah had to resort to some stratagem.
Utbah had flags prepared which he had hung on spears. These he gave to the women and ordered them to march behind the army. His instructions to them then were: "When we get near to the city, raise the dust behind us so that the entire atmosphere is filled with it."
As they neared al-Ubullah, a Persian force came out to confront them, they saw the Muslims boldly advancing, the flags fluttering behind them and the dust which was being churned up and which filled the air around. They thought that the Muslims in front o f the flags were merely the vanguard of the advancing army, a strong and numerous army. They felt they would be no match for such a foe. They lost heart and prepared to evacuate the city. Picking up whatever valuables they could, they rushed to boats anch ored on the river and abandoned their well-fortified city.
Utbah entered al-Ubullah without losing any of his men. From this base he managed to bring surrounding towns and villages under Muslim control. When news spread of Utbah's successes, and of the richness of the land he had occupied, many people flocked to the region in search of wealth and easy living.
Uqbah noted that many Muslims now inclined towards a soft life and followed the ways and customs of the region and that this weakened their determination to continue struggling.
He wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab asking for permission to build the garrison town of Basrah. He described the locations he had chosen for the city and Umar gave his assent. Basrah lay between the desert and the ports of the Gulf and from this base expediti ons were launched further east. The positioning of the town was for maximum military effectiveness (not merely to support an army of occupation).
Utbah himself planned the city and built its first great masjid which was a simple enclosure, roofed over at one end and suitable for mass assemblies. From the mosque, Utbah and his men went out on military campaigns. These men eventually settled on the land and built houses.
Utbah himself however did not build a house for himself but continued to live in a tent of cloth. He had seen how preoccupation with worldly possessions had caused many people to forget themselves and their real purpose in life. He had seen how men who no t long ago knew no food better than rice boiled in their husks, getting accustomed to sophisticated Persian patisserie like fasludhanj and lawzinaj made with refined flour, butter, honey and nuts of various kinds to the point where they hankered after the se things.
Utbah was afraid that his din would be affected by his dunya and he was concerned about his hereafter. He called men to the masjid of Basrah and addressed them thus: "O people! The dunya will come to an end and you will be carried from it to an abode whic h will not wane or disappear. Go to it with the best of your deeds. I look back and see myself among the early Muslims with the Messenger of Allah may God bless him and grant him peace. We had no food then apart from the leaves of trees and our lips woul d fester. One day I found a burdah. I tore it in two and shared it with Sad ibn Abi Waqqas. I made an aazar with one half and he did the same with the other half. Here we are today. There is not one of us but he is an amir of one of the garrison towns. I seek Allah's protection lest I become great in my own estimation and little in the sight of Allah.." With these words Utbah appointed someone else to stand in his place, and bade farewell to the people of Basrah.

It was at this stage last season that City embarked upon a late surge which carried them past United and to the top-flight crown.
Twelve months on and any hopes they had of defending that crown appear to have gone, with United having pulled 15 points clear at the summit with only eight games remaining.
A derby duel at Old Trafford on Monday will offer City an opportunity to close that gap, but they will be playing for little more than pride.
Kolarov insists that will provide enough motivation to the Blues squad, with it important for them to get one over on their fiercest rivals.
He told Sky Sports News HD: "I have to be honest, they have been better this season.
"We have played good, but some games we have made mistakes. Against small teams, we have made a lot of mistakes - away especially.
"They deserve it because they are in first place at the moment. But, for us, that doesn't change anything. We are going to try and win in the game at Old Trafford, to be proud.
"They are confident in this moment and it will be a different game but - if we play like we know, if we are all at 100 per cent - I think we are better than them."

An umbrella decorated in a carnival
theme won an award for resident Irene Cottam when she took part in
Brunswick Gardens Village's recent parasol parade.
More than 90 residents, staff and
friends of the Village in Woodhouse took part in the event held at
Rother Valley Country Park and according to Village Activities
Coordinator Suzie Simons everyone had worked hard to present a
unique decorated brolly for the occasion.
Many of the entrants walked three
miles through the park with their brollies held high - those with
mobility issues took part in wheelchairs or managed a shorter
According to Irene, who has lived at
Brunswick Gardens with her husband Andrew for close on two years,
her brolly was decorated with artificial flowers and fruit. "I'd
been planning it for some time but it didn't take me too long to
put it together," she says. Runners up were residents Carol
Pantin and Betty Howarth.
As well as enjoying the parasol
parade, the entrants and other visitors including residents and
staff from ExtraCare's Seagrave Court scheme in Nottingham, who
held their own competition, were also entertained in a marquee by

There's a dynamic duo working at School No. 29 in Rochester. Social Worker Anissa Libardi and her therapy dog Indigo help students who have more challenges than most. And we surprise them with a News 8 Golden Apple Award.
Indigo shows up everyday at Rochester School No. 29. Social Worker Anissa Libardi is one of only two Social Workers in city schools that use a therapy dog.
"And they are able to somehow calm our students down when they're upset about various things" says Principal Tanya Wilson. "Sometimes the students will talk to the dog and tell them what they did wrong and they're able to get out their feelings that way."
Anissa is Keniel Ferguson's mentor. He's working on his Masters in Social Work at Roberts Wesleyan and wanted to say thank you. "I've never seen a therapy dog before. I've never seen a dog reach out and touch children like this dog."
At School No. 29 they've seen Anissa and Indigo perform miracles. Indigo does everything from selecting books to read to calming kids down.
Anissa says "We have a lot of kids that have tantrums I guess so to speak. And you know are on the floor crying and upset and Indy can sense that and will just go over to them and sort of hit them with her nose and lick them and they automatically calm down and it makes my job 100 percent easier because I don't have to go through all that trying to calm them and de-escalate them where she can do it immediately. Then after they're calmed we can sit and talk about what's happened."
Anissa Libardi and her Therapy Dog Indigo are News 8 Golden Apple Award winners. You can read the letter we received from Keniel nominating them below.
Dear News 8,
Social Workers play a very important role in all schools. School social workers bring unique knowledge and skills to the school system, and assists children in overcoming various barriers such as emotional, behavioral and social problems, that makes it difficult to reach their full potential in their classroom, home and community. My name is Keniel Ferguson, a MSW intern student from Roberts Wesleyan College.
Mrs. Libardi is my field supervisor at school #29. She is a school social worker who goes above and beyond her role. Not only does she help kids, but she also uses Animal Therapy approach to engage children and foster their emotional needs. Mrs. Libardi's partner is a 70lbs black Labrador, her name is Indigo. She is a fully trained therapy dog, which gives comfort and joy to the hearts of children of all ages at school 29. If a child is having a bad day, Indigo would bring a smile to that child's face by snuggling with the child and give loving kisses them. Indigo also help children with expressing themselves, by talking to her and sharing various situations and stories that have happened to them. Indy loves when children read books to her, and dress her up for Halloween, Easter and Christmas.
There are so many stories I can give you about Mrs. Libardi and Indigo, but it would be best for you to come and see for yourself. I'm Keniel Ferguson, and I proudly nominate Mrs. Anissa Libardi for the Golden Apple Awards.
Keniel Ferguson,
Student, Roberts Wesleyan College

The top Democrat on a powerful House panel said he does not believe the congressional super committee charged with finding ways to trim the nation's deficit by $1.2 trillion should consider reducing funds aimed at maintaining and refurbishing the country's nuclear-weapons complex (see GSN, Oct. 25).
"I'm not going to take anything off the table," House Armed Services Committee ranking member Adam Smith, D-Wash., said on Thursday during an event at the American Enterprise Institute. However, "I do think that we've made rather significant reductions in our nuclear force, and I would be reluctant to go further."
"A lot of folks don't understand just how complicated it is to maintain that nuclear arsenal.... There's a lot of money that goes into that," the eight-term lawmaker added. "So I would not look at that as a place where we can find an enormous amount of savings, no."
In wooing Republican lawmakers to support the New START nuclear arms control deal with Russia, the Obama administration last year pledged $85 billion over the next decade for modernizing the U.S. nuclear-weapons complex.
As it looks to cut federal spending amid the country's continued economic troubles, though, some on Capitol Hill have begun to eye National Nuclear Security Administration weapons activities as one source of potential savings. The semiautonomous branch of the Energy Department maintains the country's atomic stockpile and conducts nonproliferation operations around the world.
This summer, the full House approved a spending plan that would pare down NNSA weapons work by nearly $500 million in the fiscal year that began on Oct. 1 (see GSN, July 15).
The Senate Appropriations Committee in September cut $440 million in proposed funding for fiscal 2012 from the nuclear agency's stockpile operations (see GSN, Sept. 8). It is unclear when the full chamber will take up the spending measure.
The federal government is currently funded through a continuing resolution that expires on Nov. 18.
White House Management and Budget head Jacob Lew responded to the Senate panel's move last week with a letter urging Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, and other lawmakers to support "robust funding" for the nation's nuclear arsenal and its accompanying infrastructure.
"The administration will oppose any cuts that compromise our ability to modernize our nuclear-weapons complex," OMB spokeswoman Meg Reilly told Global Security Newswire on Thursday by e-mail. "We look forward to working with Congress to identify an appropriate funding level."
In August, the White House and Congress struck a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling into 2013, preventing the government from defaulting on its obligations. The agreement calls for $350 billion in defense spending cuts over 10 years as part of a broader savings package.
Although the measure did not lay out specific reductions, it set a ceiling for fiscal 2012 on "security" spending, which included the National Nuclear Security Administration, of slightly more than $680 billion. The agreement also established the bipartisan panel and assigned it to develop a strategy to slice the deficit by at least another $1.2 trillion.
Should the panel of House and Senate lawmakers fail to reach an agreement--or Congress not approve its recommendations--by Nov. 23 the debt package would automatically trigger $1.2 trillion in cuts, including $600 billion from Pentagon coffers.
As the panel's deadline inches closer, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are jostling over whether nuclear-weapons funding should be looked at for savings.
Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., and 64 other Democrats earlier this month called on the joint panel to consider eliminating $200 billion over the next decade from the U.S. nuclear-weapons budget by ending the nuclear mission for B-52 and B-2 bombers, scaling back the size of the nation's ballistic missile submarine fleet, and canceling major infrastructure projects (see GSN, Oct. 12)
Meanwhile, House Armed Services Strategic Forces Subcommittee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and eight other representatives sent a letter to members of the Senate Appropriations Committee decrying their votes to cut funding for the complex.
Turner commended Smith for his caution about further nuclear reductions.
"We are in an uncertain and changing threat environment. Other nations, including China and Russia, are undertaking robust nuclear weapons modernization programs," he said on Thursday in an exclusive statement to GSN. "This is not the time to delay the modernization of our aging stockpile, infrastructure and delivery vehicles or undertake significant changes to our nuclear policies and posture.
"It is clear that the New START treaty and modernization are a package deal--the one can't be safely implemented without the other," Turner added.
The White House has embarked on a "strategic review" to look at potential avenues to further reduce the nation's strategic deterrent (see GSN, Sept. 22).
Smith said that President Obama "negotiated a pretty aggressive deal" on New START. The pact, which entered into force on Feb. 5, requires the two countries to each reduce deployment of strategic nuclear warheads to 1,550, down from a cap of 2,200 mandated by a previous treaty.
"Now once we get that done, we can look at it again and figure out what our needs are, sure," Smith said. "But right now I think that START treaty reflects pretty closely what our needs are."
The deadline for meeting the updated mandate in New START is 2018.
Smith said he was familiar with Markey's cost-cutting plan and does not agree with its proposed cap on nuclear-capable submarines.
"I mean, that is the strongest part of the triad that we have," he said, referring to the nation's long-standing use of nuclear-armed ICBMs, submarines, and bombers. "I think having that part of the triad is important."
Markey disagreed with Smith's argument.
"Even if it's under the sea, it must be on the table for the super committee. Reducing the nuclear-submarine fleet from 12 to eight and delaying procurement of new subs will save $27 billion over the next decade," the Massachusetts lawmaker said on Friday in a statement to GSN. "Those same eight submarines can carry the same firepower as 12, just by adding some more tubes.... We can maintain an effective nuclear deterrent and save money at the same time."

Ideal Home Insurance Cover
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES have always topped the 'most desirable investments'. Besides having the innate potential to offer extraordinary financial returns, it lends security, stability and peace of mind to any household. Undoubtedly, a home is one of the most valuable assets one can possess.
Unlike other financial assets, your home requires constant care to enhance its longevity. While physical maintenance adds value to the resale price, it does little to offer protection from manmade and catastrophic disasters. Some such dangers that pose a threat to your home are:
• Natural Disasters: Disasters like earthquakes, floods, cyclone, lightening, windstorm, hailstorm, etc. can cause massive damage to life and property. Humans are rendered helpless against the fury of Mother Nature, leading to heavy losses.
Coastal India, 2004: An estimated 157,393 houses were destroyed by the Tsunami that hit Indian towns rendering approximately 730,000 Indians homeless. The total damage was estimated to be around $ 2.56 billion.
• Fire: Losing your home and belongings to fire can be a traumatic experience. It not only destroys physical property but also leads to losses caused during efforts to control the fire, for example; damage due to water jets or wall collapse.
• Burglary: Advanced security systems may not always be the best bet. What happens to your valuables if the alarm system fails? Burglary may lead to damage, loss, or destruction of physical property.
• Vandalism or Malicious Mischief: Causing harm to physical property is a motive of rioters or mischief-makers who create unrest. Places with a history of political and social unrest have a higher chance of such an occurrence.
INVEST IN AN IDEAL HOME INSURANCE POLICY to be financially secured against such dangers. Here are some perks of opting for a home insurance plan:
• Financial Safeguard: An ideal home insurance policy grants you peace of mind by insuring you against financial losses if your home is damaged. The replacement cost of homes often outweighs the original purchase price by a significant margin, creating a financial burden for your family to shoulder. Home insurance provides financial support to rebuild a house or replace any lost personal property.
• Timely Recovery: Insurance payouts allow families to go through the rebuilding process as quickly as possible, helping them to move on and to get back to their normal lives. Not only can a quick recovery save money, it can also benefit the families' psychological health, reducing the levels of stress and trauma.
• Shield against Home Loan Liability: A key benefit of a home insurance plan is that it provides zero liability in case the home owner, who has availed a home loan, meets an untimely demise or is permanent disabled. In such cases, the home loan insurance plan covers the repayment of the debt.
• Peace of Mind: You cannot put a price tag for this one. Maintaining adequate home insurance cover will help you cut back on the levels of stress when it comes to keeping your home safe.
• Affordability: Home insurance policies are available at an affordable premium, which is only a fraction of the cover you receive.
VARIOUS TYPES OF COVERAGES provided under a Home Insurance plan are:
As the name suggests, this insurance covers the structure of your property from unanticipated events including fire, flood, etc.
• What it includes: Walls, roofs, foundations, windows, baths and showers, built-in wardrobes, fitted kitchens, garden sheds, gates, etc. Basically anything you wouldn't or couldn't take with you when you moved home can be covered by a structure policy.
• Who needs it?
The owner of the property, especially those who have availed a home loan need to mandatorily opt for structure insurance.
While your walls, roofs, and kitchen may be covered by the structure policy, you will need a Contents Insurance Cover to protect your furniture and other belongings at home against events such as burglary, flood, fire and accidental damage.
• What it includes: Clothes, kitchen appliances, electronic gadgets, furniture, jewellery, paintings, etc. Any article that you would take while shifting your residence should be covered under the Contents Policy.
• Who needs it?
• Tenant in a rented property
• Students staying together in a rented accommodation
• People who own valuable tangibles like jewellery
Contents Insurance Cover can also be extended to include your personal possessions when you are outside the home. This will attract more cost, but could be of great help if your handbag or laptop is stolen.
WHAT SHOULD ONE LOOK FOR in a home insurance plan? How do you weigh the options available before making the right choice?
An ideal home insurance cover is one that protects you from all financial losses should a calamity befall. It plays a vital role in shielding you and your loved ones from the minor and major tribulations that follow such crises. Here are some parameters that will guide you towards the ideal home cover:
• Consolidated Cover: In case a home owner needs to opt for Structure and Contents Insurance, it is advisable to opt for a consolidated plan which is more economical. Note: A comprehensive plan is ideally one which would safeguard your home as well as your personal belongings.
• Alternative Accommodation: You may need a temporary accommodation while your house undergoes renovation. A good insurance plan offers your compensation for the rent expenses incurred during a specified period.
• Terrorism Cover: Depending on the socio-political environment of your city or country, opt for a cover against damages due to acts of terrorism.
• Exclusions: Look for the exclusions in the insurance policy, to avoid unpleasant surprises. Some important exclusions and exceptions are:
• Acts of war and nuclear accidents
• Wilful destruction of property
• Damage to vehicles
• Weather-related damage to exposed wood such as fences
• Theft from construction area
• Add-on Coverage: There are several add-on covers also known as "riders" to provide additional protection that isn't offered under a standard home insurance policy. These add-ons cover risks associated with floods and earthquakes.
• Sum Insured under Structure Insurance: The sum insured or 'Reinstatement Value' under Structure Insurance is derived from the cost that you would incur to rebuild the house today. It is not the market value of the house but the reconstruction value of your house.
• Sum Insured under Content Insurance: The sum insured or 'Market Value' for Contents Insurance is calculated by deducting depreciation from the market value of the articles.
• Vacant House: It is important to note that you may not be able to claim for loss under a home insurance policy in case your house has been unoccupied for a period of 30 days or more.

AG's Car is One of 6 State Vehicles the Department of Justice Returns to Department of Administration Central Fleet in Economy Measures
AG Vows to Continue to Seek Efficiencies and Cost Reductions at DOJ
Madison - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today he had directed the return of the car assigned to his office to the Department of Administration Fleet. This comes as the Department of Justice reduces its fleet by five other vehicles previously in use at the Department.
"I can drive my own car and did much of the time anyway," Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said. "While the AG has traditionally had a state car assigned, I can sure do without it. It's one small way I've identified to cut costs that allow us to continue to deliver services to law enforcement and our clients."

Areas of Law Description
Our firm provides legal representation and services in the following areas of practice:
- Criminal Defense
Most state criminal charges in New Jersey are heard in superior court, also called trial court. New Jersey has a superior court in each of its 21 counties. Our firm defends clients against state criminal charges including: drug possession, assault, burglary, and homicide.
- Drug Possession/Distribution
Our skilled drug defense attorneys fight tenaciously to protect the rights of people facing drug charges. Our goal is to achieve the best outcome possible for your case, whether that can be achieved by pleading guilty to a lesser charge or fighting aggressively at trial.
- Drunk Driving
Drunk driving is treated as a serious offense and carries correspondingly harsh penalties, especially for a repeat offender in New Jersey. If caught driving while intoxicated (DWI) or driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs, you could face jail time, fines, license suspension, mandatory counseling and use of an ignition interlock device.
- Expungements
Our firm has extensive experience helping clients with the expungement of a variety of criminal matters. If you are looking to clear your criminal record, we will meet with you to understand your wishes and advise on what you can and cannot expunge at this time. If you qualify, we will file an order to expunge your criminal or juvenile records on your behalf.
- Gun/Weapons Possession
Facing weapons charges alone or with inadequate representation is not advisable. The consequences of a conviction may include jail time, heavy fines and probation. If you have been charged with gun possession or other weapons-related crime, your choice of a weapon possession lawyer in Jersey City and Hoboken is most important.
- Homicide
Homicide, murder and violent crimes are serious accusations that can result in felony convictions and severe prison time. Our firm provides sound advice and aggressive representation to clients in Hoboken, Jersey City and surrounding areas who face charges such as homicide, aggravated manslaughter, reckless manslaughter and first-degree murder.
- Sex Crimes
Some of the most serious offenses with which an individual can be charged with are sex crimes. Aside from a lengthy prison sentence, a sexual assault charge is certain to bring the social aspects of your life to a screeching halt. Your family members and peers may never look at you the same, and your goals may be put on a long-term, if not, permanent hold.
- Juvenile Crimes
Most criminal charges against juveniles (under 18 years old) begin in family court. Even if the infraction seems minor, a child needs a lawyer when charged with any type of crime. We represent juveniles accused of acts including shoplifting, possession of drugs, theft and assault.
- Municipal Law
A municipal court handles minor offenses in a city or town. Though our practice is centered around Hoboken and Jersey City, we can represent you in any municipality in New Jersey. For example, if you live in Newark but you got arrested in Asbury Park; our firm can still fully represent you from our home base in Hoboken.
- Shoplifting
Our heft attorneys provide skilled defenses against shoplifting charges to clients in Jersey City, Hoboken and surrounding areas of New Jersey. Our firm defends adults and juveniles against charges of shoplifting and other larceny crimes. We will work with you to identify and fully explain your various options for limiting the damage from these charges.
- Traffic Offenses
If you have been cited for an alleged traffic violation, the first thing you should do is read your ticket to find out exactly what type of violation you have been cited for and seek advice from an experienced, knowledgeable traffic defense attorney. Our traffic violations lawyers provide skilled legal representation to people facing a variety of traffic charges.

Miami, Florida - With Easter less than two weeks away, animal rights groups want parents to reconsider buying pet rabbits for their children.
Dana Krempels is president of the National House Rabbit Society's Miami chapter. She says children quickly get tired of the animals, and the rabbits are either returned to the pet store or abandoned in a field.
The rabbit society has launched a "Make Mine Chocolate" campaign to discourage Easter-time rabbit adoption.
The campaign's goal is to limit the number of unwanted former Easter rabbits that overrun shelters and humane societies.

My horse got into a fight on the playground. He might as well have bitten another one of the kids in pre-school.
For one reason and another, he's had a turnout paddock to himself for the last month or so. The barn owner is pretty big on having the horses turned out with one or more paddock buddies, because she says that this is natural for horses and good for them, and that if they spend too much time alone they get neurotic and maladjusted. I'm OK with this.
But my guy, he's AWFUL. The barn owner has been waiting to try him in turnout with different paddock buddies until she has a whole day or so at the farm to keep an eye on developments. First, he got put out with an elderly mare, and he bullied her! Then he got put out with a totally herd-bound gelding, and they got into a screaming match. Then he got put out with a couple of other geldings - that was yesterday afternoon.
When I came to the barn this afternoon, he was out in the paddock with one of the other geldings, and was behaving very badly! He kept running at the other horse, making aggressive postures, etc. When I went into the paddock, my horse looked like he was screening me from the other horse, and wouldn't let the other one approach me.
Then I found out - it took a while because he was wearing his raincoat - that he'd gotten into a HUGE fight yesterday afternoon and had a scrape on his shoulder from it. (The barn owner mentioned this to me, it's not like I got it as a surprise). So I'm putting betadine on it and inspecting it, and thinking, hey, that's U-shaped, what could have done that, and I realized, he got kicked! And since he was kicked on the front of the shoulder, he must have been facing the butt of whatever horse kicked him, and I'd be willing to bet $20 that he was in the process of trying to bite that horse on the butt when he got kicked.
So, OMG, my horse is a Delinquent. Any minute now and he's going to start sneaking cigarettes in the back of the paddock and get a tacky tattoo. I am mortified. I know that horses need the social time, and I know that it can be kind of alarming as they sort out their differences, but still...it is my horse that is the Bully. I feel responsible for this, even though I know it is not somehow my fault (it can't be, because he's been like this for longer than I've known him). Still I am mortified.
Also, now he has this huge scrape on his shoulder. It took his hair off! Right down to the skin, and I think some of the skin peeled off too! He is not bleeding, though. The barn owner (she loves him, which is a good thing considering how badly he is behaving at the moment) says that this scrape is "nothing". She wasn't dismissing my concerns, but putting them into perspective, but I still feel like OMG My baby!! All scraped up!!!
At the risk of injecting common sense into this (like, why bother, given all this histrionic drama?) what's the best way to treat an injury like this? I sprayed it with Banixx and put some vitamin E oil on it. I have a brand new horse first aid kit that is full of oddball things that I don't really know what they're for. The Smartpak girls said it was a good idea, and I checked the Health thread about the vet kits, and most of this stuff is on the lists there, so I HAVE the gear, but I don't know the best way to deploy it. Any suggestions? Clearly this is a first for me!

110 W. New York Ave.
DeLand, FL 32720
FHP IDs car that killed DeLand teen
By Jen Horton
posted Sep 13, 2012 - 9:06:01am
The Florida Highway Patrol has identified the vehicle involved in a fatal hit-and-run that killed one 14-year-old and injured another in DeLand March 17.
Juliana Hobbs would have turned 15 on Sept. 18.
"We would have gotten her learner's permit, completed that rite of passage," Juliana's older sister Courtney Meyers said.
Instead of learning about parallel parking, Juliana is dead.
On the night of March 17, Juliana and friend Rachel Russell were walking along South Spring Garden Avenue when they were both hit by a car.
The driver left the two teens bleeding on the road.
Rachel sustained minor injuries.
Juliana died.
Six months later, Juliana's family is still suffering.
They are suffering from grief, and they are suffering from a feeling that authorities aren't working hard enough to find Juliana's killer.
Meyers said the Florida Highway Patrol and the State Attorney's Office have not been forthcoming with her family.
"I heard there was a 75-page report about this, and we asked for it," Meyers said. "We received two pages."
She continued, "When we call, we get no reply. It's been six months," Meyers said. "The silence is awful."
The positive identification of the vehicle is one more step toward closure. Meanwhile, the family watches the landmarks go by: what would have been Juliana's first day of high school, what would have been the day she got her learner's permit. Each date brings a feeling like salt smeared in an open wound.
"It feels like it's never going to end," Meyers said.
Meyers and her family would like to see justice served. They would like to see the driver of the car held responsible.
"I know that having [the driver] in jail will not bring my sister back," Meyers said. "But right now, she's just a free person."
In March, Kim Montes, public-affairs officer for the Florida Highway Patrol, reported that a gold 2004 Toyota Corolla had been impounded and taken to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to be processed for evidence.
The vehicle had been located in Pierson, after the car's owner contacted the FHP. At the time, the FHP would not identify her.
Volusia County Sheriff's Office dispatch logs show that officers from the FHP and sheriff's deputies went to a home at 220 S. Ridgewood Ave. in DeLand on March 19, in regard to a car that might have been involved in a traffic homicide on March 17.
A report was made of the visit that day, but it cannot be made public because of the ongoing investigation, Montes said.
On Sept. 12, a woman who said her name was Danielle answered the door when The Beacon knocked at 220 S. Ridgewood Ave., but said she was getting ready for work and couldn't talk.
Meyers said she met with officials at the State Attorney's Office, and learned they don't have a case file on Juliana's death. At press time, The Beacon was still awaiting confirmation from the State Attorney's Office.
"It's a pain all on its own to have the case open," Meyers said.
She said her mother is "doing OK, taking it day-by-day."
Meyers was eight years older than Juliana, and she has picked up the mantle of seeking justice for her sister.
She recalled the simple pleasures of hanging out.
"I was there for her, for anything," Meyers said. "We used to go walk down the railroad tracks, walk for hours, just talking."
Juliana was an organ donor. Meyers said it's been a comfort to the family to know that other people's lives were saved.
"We actually received a letter from a little girl who received her heart," Meyers said. "My sister saved a lot of lives. That is an amazing feeling, that she does live on."
For the driver of the car, Meyers has a few questions. Her prayer is to one day have the answers, to help bring a small bit of closure to her family's permanently broken heart.
"How can you live with yourself? How can you walk around free knowing what you did?" Meyers asked. "Why wouldn't you turn yourself in?"

If you remember the original reports in the news the friend said that the perps in the car were a
1) man who was driving (means the owner was not driving and knows who was) and the man made comments to both girls as they were walking, and
2) a girl in the back seat who made comments to the girls as they were walking.
The driver went to the end of the street, turned around and then gunned the engine before hitting Juliana.
Around that time of the evening a lot of folks from the West side were heading out to the Trayvon Martin vigil in Sanford.
It was a hate crime. I hope the perps rot in ****.
God Bless you all.
A plague on your house Ms. Halverson, too bad you didn't succeed at taking your miserable life before you took Juliana's. I do not know that child but I am a mother and this hurts my heart deeply.
