Pressure Builds As Leaders Work On Gun ControlTuesday, March 12, 2013
The National Rifle Association and three makers of AR-15 rifles filled the Legislative Office Building with gun owners and firearms workers Monday, a show of force intended to blunt the reach of gun-control legislation now being negotiated by the General Assembly's leadership.
The Democratic and Republican leaders of the House and Senate adjourned without a deal at 5 p.m. after a third day of negotiations. A spokesman for House Speaker J. Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said they had "another productive day and will meet again tomorrow."
What We Don't Know About GunsThursday, February 14, 2013
Notwithstanding persistent calls for a cool-headed, information-driven debate on gun violence, this week there was plenty of evidence of emotion-driven action on the issue of guns. Marchers were back on this streets this week, raising the heat this time in Hartford. And the public galleries at the President's State of the Union Address at the US Capitol were occupied by several Newtowners, including the first selectman, first responders, educators, and a fourth grader and her mother.

Daniel's Jae'lon Oglesby earns 2012 AIM Player of the Year honor
CENTRAL - Daniel coach Randy Robinson didn't have many nervous moments during a regular season where the Lions outscored opponents by an average of 30 points. But when Adrien Dunn intercepted a pass at Daniel's own 1-yard line, Robinson started to sweat in an Oct. 26 rivalry game against Seneca.
He looked to junior running back Jae'lon Oglesby.
"When I sent that play in, it was kind of an 'Uh-oh, I hope we don't get caught for a safety," said Robinson, whose team was trying to seal the region title.
Oglesby, however, told Dunn exactly what he was going to do. He made good on a promise to take the next carry to the house after catching a Deletric Greenlee block on the edge and going 99 yards for a touchdown to create a signature moment during a season where he earned 2012 Independent Mail Player of the Year honors.
Oglesby finished with 385 yards, breaking Miller Dawson's 39-year old single-game school rushing record, and Daniel clinched its fifth region title in six years.
"I knew we were playing for a region title and for a top seed," Oglesby said. "I did what I needed to do."
Topping a 1,700-yard breakout sophomore campaign was a tall order. Yet, Oglesby ran for 2,472 yards and 33 touchdowns to lead the Lions (11-3) to the Class 3A Upper State finals.
A run at the state's single-season rushing mark or even 3,000 yards was certainly in the cards had the Clemson commit not sat out the second half of several blowout victories.
Robinson took the blame for Oglesby, who has 4,284 yards in his varsity career, not rewriting the record books.
"Maybe I'm just old now," Robinson said. "I look at two things. I don't want to embarrass another team if we happen to be way up. It could happen to us one day. Two is we don't want an injury bug. We didn't want to overuse him."
If you ask Oglesby, he would have toted the ball every play this season. He had a lot to prove after ending 2011 on a sour note when he fumbled on the 2-yard line in a third-round overtime loss to York last season.
"It was just motivation going into this year," Oglesby said. "I didn't feel like I killed the team, but I felt like I killed the team. It kept us from going to the next round. Nobody said anything to put me down negatively. Everyone just said that we've got next year."
In the offseason, Oglesby worked on his explosiveness moving through the hole and started making just one cut rather than juking.
"His sophomore year was a lot of raw talent. He still didn't really understand what we were doing in front of him," Robinson said. "With a year under his belt and after seeing a lot more film, he slowed things down in practice and it's showing where his cuts are."
Working behind an offensive line which included three all-region selections — J.D. Stewart, Justin Miller and Daniel McAlister — Oglesby's learned he didn't have to make things happen on his own.
"I feel like I trust them a lot more," Oglesby said of the offensive line. "Last year I was younger and just felt like I needed to run. Now I'm more patient."
His production also made life easier during the transition to sophomore quarterback Andy McCall and created one-on-one coverage on the outside for Dunn and Tyus Gaines, who had their best seasons at Daniel this year.
Looking toward next season, Oglesby said making a run at 3,000 yards would be nice, but his ultimate goal is still to bring Daniel its first state crown since 1998.
Robinson thinks a lot more will go into reaching that goal than just Oglesby's play on the field.
"The numbers will take care of themselves. I'm looking for leadership," Robinson said. "I'm looking for the guy who's going to be the leader in the weight room because we lost some great leaders this year. ... We've got some great leaders on defense. I'm looking for some leaders on offense."
Backed up against its own goal line, Daniel knows who it can turn to.

The building was conceived as an environmental form, inflected by the natural forces acting on it. Wind and rain warp its roof. Wind towers are displaced vertically from the roof's surface. The warped surface lifts the wind into the towers, pulling air through the building. Gardens push into its form, bringing greenery and daylight to its interior. The public spaces of the campus push into the mass of the building, registering in its form. These environmental forces create the sentient form of the building. One circulates through the same openings that air moves through as it travels vertically up toward the wind towers. Public stairs are placed under the wind towers such that the towers themselves form the principle public interiors of the building.

Canadian Pop artist Charles Pachter, made famous by his imagery of Canadian moose, decided to live, work, and sell his art in one location, on the site of his Toronto studio, a narrow 6 x 30 metre infill, in a Victorian residential neighbourhood, of Toronto's Chinatown. Moose Factory, the original studio, a lane shed at the rear of the site, was left in tact. For Pachter Hall, the contemporary addition, Teeple Architects designed a set of three transparent, horizontal, stacked and stepped extruded tubes, shifted for maximum light penetration; programmed as the ground floor studio, second storey gallery and Pachter's loft, on top.

I'm treating my best friend to a trip to the parks this Oct. He's never been. He's very excited and I'm excited for him!
I'm just wondering.... on the 9th will be his first visit to the parks and on the 11th will be his birthday. Considering he's not the type of person to draw attention to himself... would it be a good idea to get the buttons offered at City Hall?
Do these buttons offer any other perks at all? Or will it just attract attention, and he'll just want to be left alone?

Let's be honest... Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, "today I want to spend $300 on a drip coffee maker."
I mean, it almost sounds ridiculous! But then, because of your love for coffee, you see this beautiful machine and see how it's rated the best all over the Internet. So you bite the bullet and buy it. You start to have buyers remorse.
You wake up the next morning thinking, "what?? I just spent $300 on a drip coffee machine?! What was I thinking?!"
You start thinking about returning it, but you have to at least TRY it. What's all the fuss about anyway?
So you go ahead and make your first pot. You fresh grind your beans, preheat your thermos, and watch every drip go through that amazingly fast copper heating element.
***its finally done!*** (which actually only took 4 min.)
You pour your first cup of coffee into your favorite mug, that you also preheated of course... And then it hits you:
It's true. That's my story. No more buyers remorse. You really do get what you pay for.
My favorite features besides the design (coming from a Starbucks store manager and certified Coffee Master):
- The 200 degree temperature coffee. It's truly amazing the effect this has on the quality of your brew.
- The fast machine. I usually make 8 cups which takes the machine 4 minutes!
- The shower head water dispenser. It's lines in copper to maintain the temperature of the water going through it, and it has 9 holes to shower over your grounds. Essentially you get an electronic pour over.
You'll notice a taste and quality difference the MOMENT you take your first sip, but for kicks and giggles, brew it and your other machine side by shade with the same fresh grounds, etc. There is no way you won't notice the difference.
If you prefer to make your coffee at home (like me), this coffee maker will change your mornings forever. Enjoy.
After living in Colombia for over 4 years, I've turned into a real coffee drinker. Even after moving back to Texas, with my Colombian wife, we still buy all of our coffee in Colombia, Sorry Starbucks. For the past 15+ years, we've had 2 coffee makers, one 12+ and the other failed after only 3 years. For whatever reason, I started shopping around, though I was boiling water and pouring it directly over the coffee each day. After about 10 days, I narrowed it down to the Moccamaster KBGT Coffee Maker by Technivorm and my love for the cup of "joe" become much deeper. I can't believe that I've drank hundreds, most likely thousands of cups that were brewed in what they call and sell as coffee makers. I now know what a real cup of coffee is to taste like and it's not bitter for sure. The only issue now is that my wife and teens are now drinking more, which isn't a real problem since it only takes 5 to 6 minutes to brew another 40oz. pot. Just set back and watch the "Lava Lamp" Moccamaster brew you up what's been the best cup of coffee I've ever experienced.
It's a must and a great Christmas gift for family and more importantly yourself.
This coffee maker is pristine!! Very easy to use and very clean/cool look! Wish they had a screen filter.
This coffee maker is excellent. It brews fast (under 5 minutes) and hot. I love the automatic cut off, so once the coffee drips into the thermal carafe, we carry it outside to enjoy with our morning reading or birding.
This is too tall to fit under the cabinets conveniently, and some of the parts are not attached, so it requires a little extra effort...all worth it for the delicious brew. It is a step in the ceremony of that first morning brew!
This is the best drip coffee maker I have ever owned. I have had it now for 6 months and still love it.
Only caution - make sure to look at the dimensions closely if you are planning on sliding this under a cabinet. It is a lot taller than my other coffee makers and barely fits.
I love all kinds of coffee from all over the world.
The frist coffee that i made was Kopi and the Moccamaster let me savor every detail.
When my husband made the first pot we were so excited to try it. We were amazing how good it brewed. The taste was exceptional. The time to brew was less than 5 mins. This coffee pot is our new favorite gadget.
The coffeemaker is not well made.
The carafe is difficult to pour from.
I recently just purchased the kb 741 a/o and I must say I look to get the best flavor out of my coffee and I take correct brewing methods seriously.
The brewing temperature is exactly at 200 + degrees and let me tell you the new deep rich flavors that I am experiencing are amazing.
The brewing cycle is fast and quiet and the auto off function after 2 hours is excellent because in my families morning routine my wife is able to come back to the house after dropping of the our child at school and enjoy a nice fresh and hot cup of coffee after I leave.
A definite recommend for those of you who want the best out of your coffee.

Maryland's Public Health Laws and Regulations: Impact on the Safe Disposal of Used Syringes by Individuals in the Community
Content Verified on: August 20, 2003
Regulatory Environment
Identified Community-based Disposal Initiatives
Disposing of contaminated medical waste, including needles, syringes, and other "sharps," has become an important issue in public health policy. Waste generated in the health care system is highly regulated at the state and federal level. Hospitals and other health care facilities must follow special procedures for handling, transporting, and disposing of medical waste, including used needles that may contain blood. Facilities also have instituted strict safeguards to protect health care workers, housekeeping staff, sanitation workers, and waste haulers from needlesticks because of the risk of contracting HIV, hepatitis B and C, and other bloodborne infections.
Less attention has been paid to safe disposal of used syringes that come from individuals living in the community. However, as many as 3 billion syringes are used each year outside health care facilities: It is estimated that between 0.9 and 1.68 billion insulin injections and up to 1 billion illegal drug injections occur each year in the United States. After being used and discarded, most of these syringes end up in the public solid waste system. This presents a risk of needlestick injury and infection, mostly to solid waste workers. A much smaller number are discarded in public areas, such as parks, presenting a risk to the public.
This section of CDC's Community Syringe Disposal, Laws and Regulations, and the Public Health web site looks at the public health dimensions of this problem. It describes this state's solid and infectious waste laws and regulations as they relate to syringe disposal. It provides background information on several key disposal options currently used in the U.S. and describes the impact of this state's laws and regulations on the way that individuals may use these options. It also includes brief descriptions of some safe disposal programs in the state and provides contact information for the state's public health and environmental management agencies.
This web site is designed primarily for individuals and communities who are working to build safe syringe disposal programs and improve public understanding of this important issue. We hope that the information and tools provided here will help communities move closer to the ultimate goal of "no syringes discarded in the trash or in public locations such as parks, buildings, or the streets."
The Maryland
Department of the Environment (MDE)
The document recommends that sharps be:
It also suggests that individuals get more information on pharmaceuticals and medical wastes (including sharps), by visiting these two U.S. Environmental Protection Agency websites:
1. Special Medical Waste Statute
2. Special Medical Waste Regulations
Exempts household generated special medical waste: The regulations specifically exclude household waste as a form of special medical waste.
Establishes standards for generators of special medical waste: The regulations require generators of special medical waste to obtain a Maryland Identification number from the Secretary of the Department of the Environment before treatment, storage, transport or disposal of the waste. Shipping papers are required for those generators who transport, or offer for transport, special medical waste for off-site treatment, storage, or disposal.
Establishes packaging, labeling and treatment requirements for sharps: Sharps must be: (1) placed in a container that is impervious to puncture; (2) clearly labeled with the generator identification number and the words "Special Medical Waste"; and (3) incinerated or first sterilized and then mechanically destroyed. Generators are also required to keep records of reports, tests, and analyses for a period of three years.
Establishes special medical waste transportation requirements: Persons transporting special medical waste must obtain a state identification number from the Secretary and a special medical waste hauler certificate from the department. Transporters must also comply with vehicle standards, stoppage requirements and safety inspections. A transporter of special medical waste may not accept special medical waste from a generator unless the waste is accompanied by a shipping paper.
Establishes conditional exclusion for small quantities of Special Medical Waste - This exclusion provides reduced requirements for those persons who generate less than 50 pounds of special medical waste in a calendar month and do not accumulate more than 50 pounds at any time.
Chapter 10 of Maryland Regulations, Title 10, Subtitle 06 [Ref 3]
Responsible Agency
Sets requirements for collection sites when employees handle the sharps containers – Operators of sharps container collection sites in which employees physically accept and handle filled sharps containers from customers are required to meet the OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards. This involves developing a written Exposure Control Plan that identifies the frequency of exposure and the tasks and procedures in which exposure may occur. The Plan also must address methods of compliance, hepatitis B vaccination, hazard communication to employees, recordkeeping, and methods to evaluate exposure incidents.
Sets requirements for collection sites when employees do not handle the sharps containers – Operators of sharps container collection sites in which customers place filled sharps containers into a collection container are not subject to the bloodborne pathogen standard. In this situation, employees must not handle the sharps containers. Those involved with removing the sharps containers from the collection container must meet the standard.

Effect of Maryland's Laws and Regulations on
Disposal in the Trash
The state legislature and individual communities may wish to actively encourage individuals to safely dispose of used syringes and make it easier for them to do so. Many options for state and local action exist. They range from gathering data, to developing community collection site programs and education efforts, to creating partnerships with interested groups, to considering amending laws and regulations. All will help Maryland move toward the goal of "no syringes discarded in the trash or public locations."
Baltimore has instituted a program called Operation Red Box in which four mailboxes have been painted red and located in areas of the city with high drug use [Ref 7]. The locations were chosen by the Baltimore City Health Department in consultation with community associations. Used syringes are placed into the drop boxes for safe handling and disposal. These boxes are "one-way only" – syringes go into the box but cannot be retrieved. This reduces the reuse of contaminated syringes and the risk of accidental needlesticks.

A large group of Summerville residents will be in the Denver area this week for the Federation of International Lacrosse World Championships.
But they're not there to pull for the favored U.S. team. The contingent, at last count 17, will be pulling for three of their very own: Peter Collins Jr., his younger brother James and Carson Jones, who will be competing for Costa Rica in the 38-team event being played in Commerce City, Colorado. Costa Rica competes in the Grey Division along with the Czech Republic, Poland and Turkey. The event opens Thursday and the championship game is scheduled for July 19.
Lacrosse is a sport that originated with American Indians, and an interesting sidelight to the World Championships is that the Iroquois Indians will be fielding a team.
The Collins brothers' maternal grandmother was from Costa Rica, making them eligible for heritage spots on the Costa Rican team. Jones was picked for one of the two non-heritage spots. Peter, 26 and an attacker, teaches science at Alston Middle School. James, 19 and a midfielder, is a student at Trident Tech. The Collins are the sons of Peter Sr. and Denise Collins. Carson, 19 and a defender, is a student at Winthrop. He is the son of Tim and Beth Jones.
All three are members of the Charleston Hurricanes adult club team, and Peter Jr. coached James and Carson on the Charleston Tribe, which last year won the South Carolina Independent Lacrosse League state championship.
Peter has served as an inspiration to Lowcountry lacrosse enthusiasts on the field, through his coaching and through his two battles over the past three years with Hodgkin's lymphoma.
"It's great to be able to represent your grandmother's homeland. Playing in the World Championships is the kind of chance I didn't think I'd ever have," said Peter, who discovered the heritage clause while watching the 2012 Olympics.
The Collins actually were eligible for four teams - Costa Rica, the U.S., Colombia through their paternal grandmother, and Panama through their parents.
As much as they relish the upcoming competition, they cherish the 16 days spent in Costa Rica where they practiced four days a week with the national team, helped with instruction and conducted clinics. Through their connections with LOWLAX (Lowcountry Lacrosse) and STX, they were able to obtain equipment for the team at a sharply discounted price.
It has been an enlightening experience culturally and athletically. None of the three had previously visited Costa Rica, a nation of 4.8 million residents but only three lacrosse clubs.
"It's been cool, visiting a different country, learning how they live and learning how much stuff we have and don't really need, to be able to help out and teach the sport and grow the game," Carson said.
The Costa Rican players had to pay their own to the World Championships, by pinching their paychecks and conducting fundraisers, Peter said. There was no national sponsorship.
Peter said he knew there will be teams at the tournament that are more skilled. Lacrosse in Costa Rica was being taught by a coach who played the game 30 years ago, and the Summerville players have been trying to bring a more current approach to the game.
"This is something positive, something to build on," Peter said. "It's all about growing a sport, all of being a factor in growing the sport globally."

Is the Tree of Life a "religious" film?
July 27, 2011
0;width: 0″>икониRELIGION- a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies…
A few nights ago, I was at an East Village bar with some friends and we
started giving our take on Terrence Malick"s love-it or hate-it epic The Tree of Life. When someone mentioned that it depicts the creation of the universe, Sharon, a young photographer, asked, "Is it a religious film?" her friend Mike immediately said, "No" as if that very idea would be insulting. "No no," Mike said, "Malick"s background is in philosophy, guys like Heidegger and all that. He"s into asking metaphysical questions."
started giving our take on Terrence Malick"s love-it or hate-it epic The Tree of Life. When someone mentioned that it depicts the creation of the universe, Sharon, a young photographer, asked, "Is it a religious film?" her friend Mike immediately said, "No" as if that very idea would be insulting. "No no," Mike said, "Malick"s background is in philosophy, guys like Heidegger and all that. He"s into asking metaphysical questions."
I now think that Mike was way off, and that the Tree of Life is an intensely religious film. It"s just not necessarily a very Christian film, or at least what one might expect of that label.
"The Tree of Life" is about a Christian family in the 1950s, as remembered by their eldest son Jack (played by Hunter McCracken.) Christianity is a huge part of the family"s life, though each parent emphasizes different aspects of religion . Mother (Jessica Chastain) raises her sons to live with grace, love and selflessness, while The Father (Brad Pitt) demands discipline and obedience and teaches them to be suspicious of the evil in the world. That conflict brews confusion and resentment in the children, over how they ought live.
Above all this is the central question hovering over the film, which is the question at the heart of every religion. It"s the question we ask when we go to church, synagogue or mosque, when we kneel down to pray, or when burdens fall on us-"Where is God?"
This is the question that haunts Jack as he grows up in a home supposedly infused by Christianity but filled with violence and fear. It"s what his mother demands to know when one of her sons dies. It"s what his father fears to ask as he watches his dreams start to crumble.
Where the film loses its Christian thread is when Malick tries to answer the question. Instead of somehow making a case for Christianity, Malick argues that God is all around us, in creation. To make the point, he starts the film with a graphic showing God"s words to Job:
"Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?..When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?" JOB 38:4-7
He then follows this with a film version of the beginning of the Genesis story: 25 minutes showing the creation of the cosmos, set to a background of hyms and requiems.
However just like God"s response to Job, Malick"s answer is unsatisfying. Showing the divinity of creation doesn"t answer WHY God allows us to suffer, why he allows evil in the world and good people to be punished. And when Malick tries to go further, showing images of an "Earth Mother" reaching out to The Mother in grief, or a beach where all people from all time meet, his images become as vague and frustrating as they are beautiful.
In the end, the Tree of Life works best as a coming-of-age story, as Jack struggles to grow from both his father"s fearful discipline and his mother"s selfless grace. His bigger questions about the presence of God are definitely worth asking, but Malick"s answers seem so far outside the lives of his characters that they ring untrue to the story.
Even with its imperfections, though, The Tree Of Life remains one of the most visually stunning and affecting films I"ve ever seen. It absolutely will leave you frustrated with unanswered questions about the nature of God and the universe, but the very fact that I could leave the film in that state is proof of its power.
I have walked out of church on Sunday on many occasions, feeling numb, my mind on brunch or the afternoon"s activities. Many pastors spend a lifetime trying to get their congregations to leave their doors with an impassioned curiosity about God and humanity. Malick has accomplished that here, along with creating a visual masterpiece.

Classroom Aides for Special Education
We are looking into hiring an aide to assist our soon-to-be 4-year-old son with social interactions at his Montessori preschool. (We are in the process of having him evaluated for Asperger's.) Does anyone on BPN have experience hiring an aide for their child? How did you find your child's aide? What qualifications did the aide have? What were the aide's duties? How did the aide interact with the staff at the preschool? Did the aide have to submit to fingerprinting and background check before she could accompany your child to school? Did this type of intervention help your child? Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences. Concerned Mom
However, being a private aide in a classroom can be a really tricky position. They work for you and for your child but they spend their day with teachers and staff and other kids whom they're not responsible for. It's a huge balancing act and it takes the right kind of personality to manage it. Their priorities are to do what's best for your kid, but that's not always what the school staff would prefer. On the other hand they have to work with these folks all day long and they want to keep a good relationship. This is where experience in a classroom setting helps tremendously, so you don't necessarily need to find somebody who has worked with kids on the spectrum, just somebody with classroom experience who is flexible and reliable. I ended up believing that ''qualifications'' are less important than personality. Experience is great, but I'd rather have somebody with less experience who is friendly and warm and reliable (of course) who is able to adapt while my son changes.
As for the specifics of what they do and how they interact, that's really going to depend on your child and on the staff at the school. I never needed to get any of my aides fingerprinted because BUSD considers them school ''volunteers,'' but your school will be able to tell you what they require.
You didn't say anything about who would be paying for this person, and that's a whole other thing to know about, but I won't get into that. Feel free to contact me directly if you'd like more information. Good luck! Jill
My son goes to a public elementary school in contra costa county and has a one-on-one aide due to speech delays. Can anyone give me input on what my rights are in regard to choosing his aide? I have asked for a different aide due to her incompadibility with my son but was told by the school principal that I did not have any ''rights'' in regard to choosing his aide. I plan to escalate this through the special education system & perhaps hire a facilitator. I would like to get all the input I can, so if anyone has any information on my rights I would appreciate it. A determined mom
There's an article in there that tells you to stop using the term ''aide'' and start using the term ''paraprofessional.'' Paraprofessional is a legal term defined by No Child Left Behind which specifies a certain amount of education and experience, there is no legal definition of the term ''aide.'' Make sure it says Paraprofessional and not aide in your IEP!
Get an advocate! I recommend Amy Kossow (amyadvocate[at]hotmail.com). Of course, advocates aren't free, and you can always do it yourself if you're brave (not me, though!)
Start a papertrail of things the current aide has done wrong, putting particular emphasis on things that may violate your son's IEP. Send regular updates to the SPED director of your SD. Be annoying, it's the only way.
Of course, none of this is any guarantee that you'll be successful, a drastic alternative would be to pull your son out of school until the matter is solved to your satisfaction. The school district will be extra motivated to resolve the issue because any time a child is out of school, the district loses money. Good luck! Jill
Our child is in private school and needs additional support from an aide. We don't know how long this will be necessary and don't know how to find someone who can help. Ideally, they would be trained in education, special ed or the like. It might be someone who is looking to pursue a career in special ed and is looking for some experience. Or it might be someone who already has this experience. We have talked to a couple of education therapists who might be able to supervise this person. Any ideas would be most welcome! Anonymous
I am looking for information on Aides/Shadows for preschool-aged children with developmental delays. Specifically, I would like to know what type of education/ experience/expertise is required of aides that are offered through the public school systems. My son has some developmental delays and his developmental pediatrician feels that a classroom aide would help him be more successful in his current preschool setting. We are going to go through the public school system (Piedmont) but I also want to consider private options if there are any. We actually have a fantastic nanny who is well educated and has some, although limited, experience with kids with developmental delays and I'm wondering if it would make sense to hire her to do this for my son if she winds up being just as qualified as anyone else out there.... any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!

text: Tweet recycling sculpture in Australia; photo by Tama Leaver (Flickr CC) Around the world, ambitious artists are creating sculptures out of disused materials. In Denizli Provence, Turkey, University students from 12 countries are constructing a sculpture of the ancient city of Hierapolis and the Pamukkale travertine (the natural carbonate terraces the city sits atop) out of 40,000 recycled plastic bottles. The students have so far collected 30,000 plastic bottles for the sculpture project, with the hope of raising awareness about the environment and recycling in Turkey. As part of the project "From Waste to Art" developed by the European Youth Association and supported by the Denizli Municipality and Denizli Municipal Assembly, students have started working on the statue at Denizli's Pamukkale University under the coordination of university lecturer Feryal Beykal Orhun. –Anatolia News Agency Read more about that project here. An outdoor picnic table surrounded by chairs fashioned from old toilets filled in with concrete isn't exactly what you'd expect to find in a park in the Islamic Republic or Iran. But what I don't know about Iran could fill a small server in Silicon Valley. In Lavasan, northern Tehran, Iranian artist Nasser Vaziri has created a 1,000 square meter sculpture garden out of recycled materials. The result is Iran's first open-air museum. The museum is dedicated to the culture of Iran and blends together the country's history, modern art and environmental appreciation. –Al Jazeera English Check out the video report below.

ERWIN — Unicoi County Sheriff Mike Hensley has requested the District Attorney General's office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conduct an investigation of the Unicoi County Sheriff's Department's drug funds and drug evidence following the resignation of one of the department's narcotics officers.
According to Hensley, Unicoi County Sheriff's Department narcotics investigator Matthew McNally resigned Friday, two days after McNally took a drug test requested by Hensley. The sheriff said the results came back positive.
McNally, who had worked at the sheriff's department since August 2007, cited a higher-paying, non-law enforcement job that would take him out of the area as his reason for resigning, Hensley said. The sheriff also said McNally said he would need to begin the new job Monday when he spoke with Hensley on Friday.
"The resignation was however suspicious in timing due to the fact that Office McNally had been given a drug test just two days prior due to suspicious circumstances. The results of the test were unknown at the time of the resignation," a news release issued Monday by the UCSD said.
Hensley said the UCSD does administer random drug tests, but he can also order the tests if he has suspicion or reason to believe that an officer my be using drugs.
"I did have reason to give Mr. McNally the drug test," Hensley said Monday.
McNally took the requested drug test Wednesday. The release said the test results were given to Hensley late Monday morning, and the results showed the presence of a controlled substance.
"I immediately contacted the district attorney, Tony Clark, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and requested an investigation into the matter due to the fact that the officer handled drug evidence routinely," Hensley said in the release. "The decision to conduct this investigation was made by me to assure that no evidence is missing. If evidence is missing or tampered (with), a neutral agency should conduct the investigation to ensure that a conflict of interest is not alleged."
Hensley said he does not want to elaborate on the type of drugs McNally tested positive for due to the ongoing investigation.
"I want an outside agency to look at everything that he's been involved in as far as the drug work and evidence, the whole nine yards," Hensley said. "I have requested an audit be done of the drug funds, as well as the drugs."
Clark said he has spoken with Hensley and, at this point, sees nothing in the way of criminal action regarding the matter. Clark said he will look into the matter further and will request TBI involvement if necessary. TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said in a emailed response sent Monday afternoon that the TBI is not investigating the matter at this time.
Hensley said he issued the release not to embarrass McNally or his family, but to "make accurate notification to the citizens of the county." He said that he will continue to run a transparent department and, if any member of his staff is found to be in violation of departmental policies, he or she will be held accountable.
"I run a transparent department," Hensley said. "When I find out anything that's going on within my department that's not right, whether it's criminally or whether it's allegations, I'm going to address it."
McNally could not be reached Monday for comment.

I have made a wad file from the WiiMC Channel Installer 1.7, just in case the installer is not working for anybody. This comes in handy if your Wii does not have HBC 1.0.7 or newer installed or your HBC is not using IOS58. You will need IOS58 v6176 and any version of HBC installed for it to work correctly. If you updated your WiiMC to 1.1.2 then your channel also needs to be updated to 1.7, I suggest using the Channel Installer first, if that fails then try this wad.
I tested this on my Wii and it works, as all way, have some sort of brick recovery installed to your Wii, Priiloader if not BootMii/Boot2.

Research on the effects of MCPs is still in its early stages, and it is premature to make definitive judgements about the "success" or "failure" of multiculturalism, or about the "advance" or "retreat" of multiculturalism. We hope that the Index will enable and encourage new cross-national research that would allow us to make more fine-grained judgements about the evolution and effects of multiculturalism policies.
Based on the findings of the Index to date, however, we can make two preliminary conclusions about the evolution of these policies, and their social effects:
For more information, please contact the Directors of the MCP Index Project, Keith Banting (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Will Kymlicka (email@example.com). We would also welcome comments on our Index, and news about research using the Index.

Free improvisation's answer to composer John Cage, British guitarist Derek Bailey (1930-2005) was as much a theoretician as a performer. Someone who inculcated the idea of permanent improvisation, Bailey lived by the credo as well. During the course of his long career he was as open to trading licks with neophyte rock-oriented players as the most respected international jazz figures.
Fundamentally however, Bailey was never more impressive as when he played solo. These memorable eight tracks – all entitled "Play" – conclusively demonstrate this. Recorded in 2003 before illness muted some of his inimitable tropes and techniques, the spur-of-the-moment improvisations are one of a piece, yet also linked to the distinctive FreeImprov modus operandi that Bailey and others evolved and modified in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Manipulating both an acoustic and an electric guitar, all the hallmarks of his mature style are on show. Jagged runs, single-string snaps and below-the-bridge strums share space with chromatic pulsations, percussive rasgueado, animated flat picking and microtonal slurred fingering.
Vibrant and melodic in its own way, there are points when To Play's playing vibrates as if Bailey is a 1930s big band rhythm guitarist, as well as a specialist in angular contemporary music. In truth Bailey formulated this style through constant improvisation and selective references to what sounds preceded his. Ultimately the most fitting triumph of the CD is that on it he resembles no other guitarist but himself.

Deputies say they are still investigating the incident and charges are pending.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait, March 11, 2008 For more than four hours last night, Camp Buehring, in the middle of the Kuwaiti desert, became a hard-rocking outdoor amphitheater.
Before the music began, about 5,000 servicemembers heard a message of support and appreciation from President Bush. Both Lt. Gen. James J. Lovelace, commander of U.S. Army Central and Combined Forces Land Component Command, and his deputy, Maj. Gen. Dennis E. Hardy, visited with the performers and thanked them for their support.
Then, before comedian Carlos Mencia got the troops laughing, he gave them some words of thanks.
"You guys work every single day doing a job that other people would never even dream of doing," he said. "You do it proudly, and you do it with a smile, and I salute all of you."
Mencia's job was to keep the troops in stitches between music sets by Disturbed, Filter, the Pussycat Dolls, and actress/singer Jessica Simpson, a job at which he more than succeeded.
Then it was DJ Z-Trip's turn to crank up the volume on some special mixes.
The troops' reactions to the rock groups were quite different from they way they reacted to Simpson and the Pussycat Dolls. The latter groups elicited shouts of appreciation, and even marriage proposals.
There was no doubt the troops were excited to have the entertainers come all the way out to Kuwait just to perform for them.
"Yeah, it's breaking my heart," Indiana Army National Guardsman Staff Sgt. Brad Thurman joked, adding that he's looking forward to seeing Disturbed. "We'll enjoy it. We weren't expected to be here, (but) they changed us going north (to Iraq)."
Air Force Tech Sgt. Marcus Waller, deployed from MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., expressed gratitude for the celebrities' appearance.
"I just want to give a big thanks to Carlos Mencia, the Pussycat Dolls and the various artists coming out in support of our troops," Waller said. "We really appreciate it. It's good to see faces, people thinking about us. As a whole, the U.S. military, we want to give you a big, 'Thanks.'"
The artists turned the tables, saying the visit and their interactions with the troops profoundly impacted them.
"This has been a life-changing experience for us," Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, said.
Simpson pointed out what the troops' service means to her. "What you guys represent is true sacrifice," she told the troops before singing her last number.
The other groups said they were honored to be performing for the troops and greatly impressed by the experience.
"We're coming over here to play rock music, and Frank's in the military, said Richard Patrick, lead vocalist for Filter. "Let's bridge the two worlds and let everybody know it's really one world."
"Frank" is Sgt. Frank Cavanagh, Filter's former bass player, who's now an Army reservist getting ready to deploy.
Disturbed's members were just happy to be able to take their support of the troops directly to the military members.
"We're happy that we finally have the opportunity to get out here and talk the talk … and play for the troops and do what we said we've been meaning to do for the longest time. We're feeling really, really good about it," Disturbed's vocalist David Draiman said.
Z-Trip said he couldn't process all that was happening to him at Camp Buehring. "I'm probably going to be digesting this on the flight back," he said. "It'll probably all settle and make sense."
As the show concluded, all of the artists came to the stage to join Simpson in singing "God Bless America."
The concert, presented by MySpace, a social networking Web site, was streamed live on the MySpace site at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. It was presented in cooperation with Armed Forces Entertainment, a group that brings entertainment programs to deployed forces, and the Defense Department's America Supports You program, which connects citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families worldwide.

Elegant antiques, a dramatic chandelier and a punchy wall colour create a one-of-a-kind space.
Orange lacquer adds the wow factor, while a careful mix of styles keeps the room chic. The mahogany and caned seats of the British Colonial Regency-back chairs show nicely against the taupe linen tablecloth, which conceals a hefty antique table. The cloth breaks up the dark wood in the room, making it more inviting, says designer Anne Hepfer.

Convicted Insurance - Can my Insurer Find out if I Have a Criminal Record?07 March 2013
The short answer is yes. And they will, but they may not check until you actually come to make a claim. In which case, if they discover that you have unspent convictions (if you have not fully discharged your rehabilitation period), then your insurance policy may become void because you failed to declare them when the policy started.
Criminal convictions and your insurance
It is the job of the insurance company underwriter to calculate risk, and if you do not mention your criminal record when asked, you run the risk of paying towards a policy that you will never see any benefit from. But the Catch-22 is that most insurance companies do not want to insure ex-offenders and so home insurance with convictions is sometimes difficult to obtain.
Unspent criminal convictions
Unspent convictions will always have to be disclosed to your insurer, but spent convictions do not have to be disclosed. If you do disclose a spent conviction to an insurer, they are required to disregard this and will not be able to take it into account when calculating your premium.
Relevant or irrelevant
Whether you think your conviction is relevant to your insurance or not, you will still be required to disclose it. Insurers use a variety of factors to assess risk, and it is up to them to determine to what degree (if any) your conviction might affect your policy. In the eyes of the law, you have a duty to "disclose material facts". Regardless of whether or not you are asked about your record, because unspent convictions are regarded as material facts, you will always have to declare it to your insurer.
What if I took insurance out in my partner's name?
You cannot dodge the need to declare. Taking out a policy in a partner's name will not allow you to avoid disclosure, as it does not negate the material fact. Even if you are living in someone else's household, or if you have someone with a criminal record living in yours, you are still required to provide information to the insurer.
Failure to disclose
Failure to disclose your unspent convictions when obtaining insurance can have extremely serious consequences. Firstly (as stated above) your insurer will not be obliged to pay out in the event of a claim, nor will you be entitled to the return of any payments that you have made. These rules also apply to homeowners who have someone with undisclosed/unspent convictions living in their household. Because an omission of disclosure is in breach of the law, you would also be exposed to prosecution for attempted fraud.
It is sadly true that many insurance companies will reject your application if you have unspent criminal convictions, simply because you don't fit their preferred customer profile. With HomeProtect you can obtain an immediate online home insurance quote, regardless of any outstanding criminal convictions you (or anyone in your household) might hold. We are proud to be working in association with the independent charity UNLOCK, the National Association of Reformed Offenders, toward developing access to fair insurance for people with criminal convictions.

The materials used for temperature control are highly wicking on the inside, offer ideal insulation and are extremely soft to the touch. Rapid escape of perspiration prevents the body from cooling down due to evaporation and the fabric from sticking to the skin. In this way, you can keep your body warmer and drier.
