New York Times best seller Jane Green delivers a riveting novel about two women whose lives intersect when a shocking secret is revealed.
From the author of Another Piece of My Heart comes the gripping story of two women who live on opposite coasts but whose lives are connected in ways they never could have imagined. Both women are wives and mothers to children who are about to leave the nest for school. They're both in their 40s and have husbands who travel more than either of them would like. They are both feeling an emptiness neither had expected. But when a shocking secret is exposed, their lives are blown apart. As dark truths from the past reveal themselves, will these two women be able to learn to forgive, for the sake of their children, if not for themselves?

Love books! Classics and lighter fiction, mysteries (not too violent please :-). And selective non-fiction--whatever takes my fancy.
"Two families' lives in shock"
This is a story of two wives who have to share the shock and grief of learning something that unexpectedly impacts both their lives and that of their families. At first I wasn't very sure I liked the book, thought I had stumbled into some lightweight Chick Lit (and I still think it leans that way), but eventually I became engrossed in listening to the story, feeling I had to hear how it all worked itself out.
Although there is this secret that dominates the book, it is far from what I found most compelling. On several levels and generations there were mother-daughter stories that stretched throughout the book (and even, briefly, a mother-son one). Also the relationships among women as friends (or not friends) dominated much of it as well. Oddly, I found the "secret" that ties the two families together to have been less powerful than the individual portraits (the "family pictures" that give the book it's title, even though it also refers to a specific key incident within the story) to have been what made it worth listening to.
For reasons I did not understand, everything about Sylvie and her family life was told in third person, while Maggie's world was all described in first person. Maggie was the more self-absorbed of the two, while Sylvie was more concerned with others, so it could have been that, or it could simply have been a means of pointing to which woman was being focused upon at different times in the book.
I almost gave this story fewer stars based on what seemed to me to have been way too many and too blatant sex conversations between characters at various times. Either I'm so old that I'm out of touch with what younger people talk about, or else this was just inserted to make the book "hot enough" to appeal to some people. Whichever, it detracted from the story so much I almost put this book down several times. The author needed to decide if this was a steamy romance novel, or a serious book that explored the lives and emotions and psychological dynamics of people living their lives together. I decided in the end that the author's intent was to present an otherwise good and well-woven story of how people met and coped with a tragedy that affected two families, and must have felt some need, which somehow escaped me, to have inserted women having lurid conversations about sex here and there to give it an (unneeded) extra punch. Since the story was intriguing regardless, I recommend the book!
"Narrator ruined it for me"
I wanted to enjoy this book based on the reviews but I can't listen to the narrator any longer... It's like she speaks in a series of giggles... Even the parts that should have a more serious tone are tinged with her flirty sing-songy voice. People don't talk like this. I picture her in the sound booth with little cartoon bluebirds fluttering around her and sitting on her shoulder.
The narrator
Different narrator
The story could have been so much more interesting.
The whole book was read in a sing song voice. I found rather annoying.
It was an awful book. I struggled to get through it.
"Enjoyed the story, but not the narration."
Predictable, with unlikeable characters, yet somehow engaging.
I think I preferred Eve to them all. She seemed the most consistent. Though most of the characters were almost flat and felt somehow unrealistic.
It seemed like the narrator had an affected voice. This might just be her natural way of speaking, but I found it distracting. The only character that was okay with this way of speaking was Maggie, as her character was supposed to be affected.
There wasn't much depth to these characters in my opinion. The only woman who I enjoyed was Sylvie's friend. She seemed the most real.
Though I was anxious to hear how the story turned out, I was disappointed that we never got to hear from the character who the whole story revolves around - Mark. The story was hard to take not of the main plot, but because it seemed like the children were afterthoughts in their parents' lives. For Maggie this odd behavior had an explanation, but Sylvie did not seem involved with Eve at all either despite her setup as being a polar opposite of Maggie. Sylvie seemed content to just let Eve go to New York, disappear for a few days, and then ignored the whole anorexia thing for quite a while. It just doesn't jive with what the author seemed to want to portray about Sylvie's family v Maggie's family.
"good read"
Good character development -- good story of these 2 women who find themselves drawn together unexpectedly.
"Predictable but Nice"
Upon reading the summary of this book, I had a feeling how the plot would go. Let's just say I was right. As for you, whatever you are thinking this book is about - it is. Besides the predictability of the storyline, it was a good listen. It kept my attention throughout and it was a nice light listen, which is ironic because a lot of events in the plot are not anything to take lightly.
"Green is slipping"
I liked Jane Green's earlier books, but this was fairly dull. No big surprises, pretty predictable; really so-so.
"Excellent story!"
Loved loved loved this story. Characters were real and relatable. I couldn't wait to get back to the story ever time I had to put it down. Highly recommend.
Must Read Books
"Best of Jane Green"
Yes, felt this was the best of Jane Green's books
How all the women grew during the book.
Some scenes with Maggie when she was a snob and after losing it all her life in the country.
Family Drama
I have read quite a few books by Jane Green; however, Family Pictures was one of her best! Without giving away the book, it is a heartfelt story of two women with two families and find they have a lot in common. Only when one daughter visits the other, their world crumble.
There are many take-a-ways from this book – people are not always as they seem, and it takes something bad to happen in order for us to find our true selves. Things do not bring happiness and you find out your true friends when lose it all. You really learn to love Maggie towards the end of the book and sometimes---we can find family in others when we cannot find it the biological way. Highly recommend!
"Compelling Story But Annoying"
Dan Brown
A bit flat
Story was a good premise, but couldn't even finish
This story about a young girl with emotional difficulties is a very compelling story. However, it was so unrealistically written that I couldn't even finish it.
The story was written with a lot of very mature terms such a bulimia and binging. These are not terms that a girl of the protagonists age would use, nor would she recognize the symptoms or being admitting to them at the early stages of the book.
It was so unrealistic that I kept trying to listen and finally couldn't take it any more and gave up!
Bad choice on my part! Shame on me!

Researchers announced this week that they've detected the production of single top quarks at Fermilab. The production of single top quarks has been predicted by the Standard Model of physics, but such events hadn't been definitely seen before. Now, two groups using different detectors at Fermilab have spotted the production of the single particles, which is governed by the weak interaction. Observing a single top quark gives physicists more information about the top quarks and the other particles that pair with them.
The lab also announced this week that they've refined their measurement for the mass of the W-boson, a value that helps define the window for the search for the Higgs boson. We'll talk about the work and the search for other, still more exotic particles such as the Higgs.

A mixed evening for the Baby Rangers as they went 1-1 on the
evening which brings both series to a 2-1 lead in favor of the Baby Rangers.
The more exciting game was the one where the Ranger prospects lost as the
Greenville Road Warriors returned home to face the Wheeling Nailers in game 3
of their playoff series.
The Road Warriors having lived up to their team name brought
a 2-0 series lead home from Wheeling for game 3 but this was not their evening
as Wheeling would jump out to a 1-0 lead early in the first period and then
made it 2-0 with a power play goal early in the second period.
The Road Warriors would start a comeback when Andrew Yogan
(2010 4th) would score his 4th goal of the playoffs off a
feed from Josh Nicholls (2013 UFA) at 15:13 of the 2nd period.
The 2-1 score would hold all the way until the final minute
of regulation when Michael St. Croix (2011 4th) would score his 2nd goal of the playoffs with just 13 seconds remaining to tie the game and force
overtime. Josh Nicholls would pick up a secondary assist on the goal for his 2nd point of the evening.
But overtime wasn't kind to the Road Warriors as the Nailers
would score at 8:18 of the first overtime to earn a 3-2 win. Despite the loss
the Road Warriors still hold a 2-1 lead in the series with the next 2 games on
their ice.
Jason Missiaen (2011 UFA) was named the game's 3rd star despite the loss as he stopped 40 out of 43 shots that he faced. Missiaen is now 5-2-1 with a 2.17 goals
against and a 0.938 save percentage in 8 games.
Andrew Yogan improves to 4-4-8 on his goal and was a +1 on 7
Michael St. Croix is now 2-5-7 thanks to his goal and was a
+1 on his 4 shots.
Josh Nichol is 1-5-6 thanks to his friends is 1-5-6 thanks
to his 2 assists for the evening. Nicholls was also a + 1 on 3.
Samuel Noreau (2011 5th) was scoreless on 4 shots
and an "even" for the game.
Jeff Malcolm (2013 UFA) was the backup goalie and DNP.
Games 4 and 5 will be played Thursday and Friday in
One little tidbit from this game which is that the Wheeling
Nailers are the ECHL farm team for both the Montreal Canadians and the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Ryan Graves (2013 4th) and his Val-d'Or Foreurs
returned home for game 3 of the QMJHL finals against the Baie-Comeau Drakkar
with the series tied 1-1. Game 3 started
with a scoreless first period that was rather tightly played.
In the 2nd period, the Foreurs would open the
scoring with an early goal at 4:49 and the Foreurs 1-0 lead almost held but the
Drakkar in a matter of a 43 seconds would they would ties the game and go ahead.
In the 3rd the Foreurs would score 3 goals on
just 5 shots allowed to not only tie the game but would take the lead for good
as they would go on to win 5-3 to grab a 2-1 lead in the series.
Graves was scoreless on a +2 with a double minor (roughing,
interference) and 1 hit but the Foreurs lead the series which is what really matters.
Game 4 will be Wed. evening in Val-d'Or

I had a skin cancer a few years ago, I was very depressed and not looking forward to having the cancer surgically removed. I was scared of having surgery done, and concerned about the scaring I would be having on my face. Fortunately my Dermatologist Dr. Sidhu and his staff helped me go through with the surgery by being very patient, positive and supportive with me and all of my questions. The best outcome was knowing I had very minimal scaring. 8 weeks later noone could tell I had surgery on my face. I am very content with not having the cancer, nor the scar on my face. I would highly recomend my Dermatologist Dr. Sidhu. to anyone having trouble/problems with their skin!

I really like this one John. What is the name of the pattern?ReplyDelete
I love it! I'm using Central Park in a small quilt that I'm working on.......I plan on posting pictures of some of my blocks today :) How fun to see your quilt made with the same fabrics......I threw some Fandango I my quilt too!ReplyDelete

Ok, that is fantastic! I have this line for a project that at the last second I changed my mind on and used something else. It is sitting in the drawer calling my name and now I am inspired. I also really like that central block. Can't wait to see the pattern.ReplyDelete
LOVE this quilt! That print from central park is one of my new favorites. I wish I could free motion quilt like that... always keeps me from using too many solids since I can really only stitch in the ditch or do diagonal/straight lines. Love the weekly inspiration from your blog :)ReplyDelete
I love this quilt! Great pattern and the colours really pop. I just got my subscription!ReplyDelete
Love that animal print! So cute! :)ReplyDelete
oh, that's cool - can't wait til the issue comes out!ReplyDelete
This is really beautiful! I like the way you incorporated the solids in with the prints. I think that solids are often forgotten and can be just as important as the prints in creating a balanced design. Well done!ReplyDelete
Beautiful. I love the fabric. The colors are yummy! Great job.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see the whole quilt, it looks great.ReplyDelete
this is awesome John!ReplyDelete

YORK, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Dozens of police departments and other law enforcement agencies around the state are handling calls involving people with developmental disabilities very differently than they did in the past.
Hundreds of first responders have undergone special training on how to better deal with people with neurological problems, such as autism.
48-year-old Kevin Bardier works at the Stage Neck Inn in all areas of the kitchen, from washing dishes to taking inventory.
His job means everything to him. It's helped him make friends and provided structure and stability for 27 years. Kevin is autistic. He grew up at a time when autism was extremely rare.
'We didn't have much help then, in those days it was long time ago it was hard, said his mother, Trudy Parkhurst.
She raised Kevin as a single mom. Kevin was able to get his GED and his driver's license -- both have helped him live independently. He only drives during the day time, he says being pulled over is definitely a concern.
'I did kind of wonder what would happen if something ever did happen, but I am so careful,' said Kevin Bardier.
Two summers ago, someone saw Kevin driving erratically and contacted police.
When police ran Kevin's plates it came up flagged in red identifying him as someone who has Autism. After following him home, the officer discovered that Kevin was adjusting his radio when he went over the center line a couple of times.
'If we were to put on the blue lights and sirens and he kept going and he's taking off, now automatically the procedure is you call for back up, other units are responding at high rates of speed, you put the public in jeopardy all when it could have been prevented,' said Captain Kevin LeConte.
The York police department started it's registration program after Capt. Kevin LeConte and several officers attended a training session, on how to handle calls involving people with developmental disabilities, like autism.
Kevin is one of 36 registered in the York police department's data base, but police believe that number only scratches the surface and that dozens and dozens of folks need to be registered. Police believe part of the problem is that some parents perceive there is a stigma attached to the disability.
'In law enforcement we still struggle with that. The more information we have when we go into a call the safer it is for everybody,' said LeConte.
Tools that Kevin and his family are grateful for.
'Makes me feel darn good about it, I am very pleased. Do you sleep better at night? Yes?

Parkinson disease

See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1] Parkinson disease affects about 1 to 2 percent of people over the age of 60 years and the chance of developing Parkinson disease increases as we age.[2] Although some Parkinson disease cases appear to be hereditary, and a few can be traced to specific genetic mutations, most cases are sporadic and occur in people with no apparent history of the disorder in their family. Many researchers now believe that Parkinson disease results from a combination of genetic susceptibility and exposure to one or more environmental factors that trigger the disease.[1]Parkinson disease belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders. The four main symptoms are tremor, or trembling in hands, arms, legs, jaw, or head; rigidity, or stiffness of the limbs and trunk; bradykinesia, or slowness of movement; and postural instability, or impaired balance. These symptoms usually begin gradually and worsen with time. As they become more pronounced, patients may have difficulty walking, talking, or completing other simple tasks. Not everyone with one or more of these symptoms has Parkinson disease, as the symptoms sometimes appear in other diseases as well.

BUCKFIELD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Crews from five towns fought for more than five hours to gain control of a fire that ultimately destroyed a barn.
Crews were called to a home on Jim Warner Road shortly after 3:00 PM Saturday night.
They found a barn fully engulfed in flames by the time they arrived.
The barn regularly houses animals. Rescuers managed to save most of them. Several pieces of equipment were destroyed in the blaze.
One person was taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.
It is not known whether the homeowner had insurance on the property.
Crews from Buckfield, Sumner, Paris, Norway and Hebron all responded to the scene. Between the initial flames and wetting down hot spots, firefighters battled the blaze for more than five hours. There was not a source of water close to the scene, so crews had to truck it in from a nearby source.
Investigators from the Fire Marshal's Office have been called in to figure out what sparked the flames.

David Whitsitt, Psychology
David WhitsittPsychology Alumni
If you want to understand what having heart surgery means, ask David Whitsitt.
As a Saybrook PhD student, he studied the experiences of couples in which one of the partners had undergone coronary bypass surgery. He found that the way couples understand their experience often has substantial impacts on the psychosocial outcomes … for both the patient, and the couple.
"Marital quality, it turns out, is both an output … something that is strongly affected by bypass surgery … but it is also an input," he says. "I looked at coping skills of couples and what kind of things seemed to work for them in terms of dealing with the surgery and its aftermath, and whether they could develop a shared meaning about it that supported their steps towards recovery."
A surgery like this will tend to highlight the behaviors and attitudes that both spouses find aggravating in each other, he found – and flexibility about the roles they play in each other's lives was a key to keeping heartbreak out of heart surgery.
"Marital quality and recovery after the surgery were impacted by how much flexibility the couple had around their specific gender roles and how they played out everyday," David says. "The more inflexible the male patients, in particular, were about their gender role, being head of the household, the breadwinner, the more marital conflict there was as a result of the surgery."
David came to Saybrook because a high school teacher introduced him to the work of Rollo May, a humanistic psychologist who taught at Saybrook and was instrumental in its founding. Years later, when he was thinking about changing careers and looking for a PhD, he remembered May's work, and was inspired. But David stayed at Saybrook because here he was able to pursue the kind of research that mattered to him.
"I have a long history of cardiac issues, and had bypass surgery myself back in 2002, so this was a very personal area of study for me, and I wanted to focus on qualitative research, and mind-body health," he says. "That's something that's not easy to do at other schools, if you can do it at all."
Since graduating he has published several articles about illness and bypass surgery that are based on work he did at Saybrook, and he has taken his career in a new direction as a Behavioral Health Consultant. Family physicians refer patients to him for help finding ways to change their behavior and focus on health, and "I deal with a broad range of physical and mental ailments, pain, and diseases. The work I did at Saybrook certainly prepared me for that."
David remembers his time at Saybrook "with a lot of fondness. It was a great experience for me. I'm still in regular contact with members of my committee – Saybrook remains very much a part of my life, and my professional life too."

they finally stickied this...FINALLY
they finally stickied this...FINALLY
nice list, deserved to be stickied
I agree with everyone! You had done a very good job making a very organized list. I suggest that you should take out the very old games that most people don't play.
D-Day Normandy sucks ass.
I'm serious.
I thought that at least from the screens it might have been something like a lower end DoD, but it's nothing like that...
Ok, think of Doom 2 graphics in a WW2 game.
Just doesn't go together.
I mean I can't even figure to work it, it's nice and all for a unnessacery time waster, it's a small install(around 45 mb), and the graphics are nothing like in the pics.
These are more Doom 2 graphics, and in the screens, it looked more 3D than the first person 2D, which is actually what it looks like.
It will probably work on any crappy pc, and mine is a dream pc if it's compared to old pc's playing it, even though mine is crap on the highest of the crap ranks for new games, still...
There is a stand alone version, so you won't need Quake 2 in order to play it as a mod, but the mod is still available, but either way, stand alone is better.
What's different in this game from other games is not just the crummy graphics and crappy gameplay, is that I think when I finally got around to getting on the battlefield where I chose Axis because they have control of the defensive positions, which mostly always win because they have closed and covering spots that give them advantage and they can stay in place and play, where attackers are always mostly open and can be seen because they don't have a plan for suprise, where in Omaha Beach in WW2, Allies won because besides the vast amount of troops coming on the beaches amphibously, the Allies had air support, and distant battleships where they had artillary fire and plus they had massive reserves of extra rienforcements which carried out more waves of soldiers to the beaches once alot of the first few waves of soldiers were slaughtered, but the Axis still massacered them pretty good, because they had MG's and soldiers in trenches all around the beaches and such, which were too little compared to Allied soldiers coming in, and didn't have to worry because of MG continous fire on the Allied troops.
Anyways, what makes this game different is when I joined Axis, the first few windows for me to choose, such as classes and such was that I noticed a massive number on top and figured out what it was, I think it was one of the classes, and it had 0/99 for something, where if it is soldiers, then this game was pretty good, so I joined something anyways and spawned somewhere on the beaches, looked around to see with the crappy and very very very dated graphics, with no reticule on the rifle I was carrying, which when fired, there was hardly any fire coming out the front of it as I can remember, and then I got pissed off and bored already cause before I started it, the game menu looked alot like a Doom 2 menu, I went to the video settings and adjusted it to the highest amount, where I got cut off and the game crashed, where this dialog or error box came and I pressed no sending and started the game again, but this time, the window didn't start normally as in full screen as the first time, but it took up most of the screen and was moveable, and I could see my blue bar for Windows XP on the bottom...
For old and dated pc's, I should give this game at least 8/10, for the new and crappy pc's like mine, it's at least 3/10, and for the newest pcs that could at least play Battlefield 2 and such, this game doesn't even deserve -0/10 because the graphics are really dated, and the gameplay and controls are confusing and gay.
I heard that there was going to be a Gunz International update coming out on May 18th, 3pm Korean time, but when I went to the Gunz website, the same old update was there that I have now...
What's going on?
On Gametrailers.com, there is your award winners for the E3 best games and such...
Check it out!
Enemy Territory and Americas army are classic games. WarRock looks really good, i might download it
Oh the beta is over what a shame
The final version releases tomorrow, so it's not so bad. It will have more weapons, vehicles, VoIP, clans, and more! Visit http://www.k2warrock.com/ for pre-registration and information.Originally Posted by night_monkeys
btw...isn't kuma ware available for download? cuz ur list says that u have to buy or something...
zomfg after all this time u ****ing stickied it,thank the lord...

Mind-Body Medicine
Physician and Saybrook Mind-Body Medicine Student Pete Buecker Creates Wellness Center
Dr. Pete Buecker initially became interested in mind-body medicine as a way to manage his own stress and health. His interest led him to study Mindfulness Meditation and he completed an 8-day Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction training retreat with Jon Kabat Zinn and Saki Santorelli from the University of Massachusetts. While he found the course personally transformative and continues to practice mindfulness, he wanted to learn more. His quest to learn more about the interface between the mind and the body to promote healing led him to consult the wise advice of Google. The search terms mind-body medicine led Pete to the Center for Mind-Body Medicine and the professional training programs that the Center offers. It was on the CMBM website where Pete began reading about the founder, Jim Gordon, MD, and his affiliation with Saybrook University School of Mind-Body Medicine as founding Dean. Pete was intrigued by the CMBM faculty profiles and the inspiring work people affiliated with the center are doing all over the world.
After researching the training programs offered through Saybrook School of Mind-Body Medicine, Pete initially enrolled to complete a Certificate in Mind-Body Medicine.&nbs p; After attending the first Residential Conference Pete fell in love with the program and after some soulful conversations with School of Mind-Body Medicine Administrative Director Dan Sterenchuk, mentor Jerrol Kimmel, and Director of Mentoring Devorah Curtis, Pete committed to pursue a PhD in Mind-Body Medicine in the Health Care Systems specialization.
Attaining a PhD in the Health Care Systems specialization will assist him in achieving some of his long term goals in health care, which include challenging the status quo of how health care is delivered. More specifically, he wants to start a conversation with his fellow physicians about how and why they practice the way they do. Some of the questions he is interested in are: "Is there a better way to interface with people during end of life?" "Can we take care of people as wholes?" He is also very much interested in the "why's" of illness and disease.
Pete's insight about how mind-body medicine can transform people inspired him to create a new dialogue with his patients. As an orthopedic surgeon people frequently come to him in a significant amount of pain, and sometimes feel hopeless. He began asking questions such as, "What do you do for yourself?" That meaningful question often resulted in a tearful response from the clients as they would reflect upon the deeper meaning of how, and if, they care for themselves. Pete began to notice a theme with his patients as they engaged in more heartfelt conversations about their own self-care. His patients seemed lighter and they commented that after talking with him they felt better. The realization that being present for another's pain provides relief further fueled his desire to be a leader in changing how health care is delivered.
As Pete began to suggest healing modalities for his patients, such as massage or yoga, he realized that his community lacked many of the resources he was recommending. He began to envision a healing center with a collaboration of resources in one location. His dream was to someday create a place where people could learn how to care for themselves, or simply enter into a tranquil environment, which alone could provide respite from pain or life challenges. His dream quickly became a reality, and Wellness 360 (http://www.wellness360studio.com/) opened its doors to the community on January 2, 2013.
Pete commented on Wellness 360: "This is really my dream come true. I realized along the way that painful body parts often reflect painful lives. Wellness 360 is the mechanism by which I can help people to stop simply managing their symptoms and start healing their lives. What a beautiful gift!"

Health From The Sun Primrose Liquid Gold is a vegetarian, cost effective way to get the benefits of evening primrose oil and Gamma-Linolenic Acid [GLA]. GLA is a nutritionally important omega-6 fatty acid which is rarely found in foods.
Primrose Liquid Gold is extracted from the highest quality evening primrose seeds using the expeller-press methos, without the chemical solvent hexane.
Evening primrose seed oil, rosemary extract, mixed tocopherals (natural vitamin E), ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C) and citric acid to protect freshness.
One-half teaspoon daily with a meal. Take with a spoon or sprinkle on foods. Use externally on the skin for its moisturizing and nourishing properties.
Keep out of direct sunlight. Refrigerate after opening.

This is a very good vitamin. My doctor prescribed it for me when I was struggling with adrenal fatigue and wants me to continue on it now that I'm pregnant (and afterward). I was taking a chewable prenatal vitamin while I had morning sickness, because I found 6 Optivite tablets a day a bit much too swallow. It's obvious from the labels that Optivite is a much better choice, but I still hate swallowing them, and taking them crushed is even worse. But I've noticed that some of my pregnancy symptoms (like my constant runny nose) have abated since I started taking it.

Woman and dad arrested in Phoenix kidnapping case
PHOENIX — A woman has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping a young boy from a Phoenix motel room and the child's father is being accused of abuse and neglect.
Phoenix police say 31-year-old Candace Clark is being held on suspicion of kidnapping and theft of a means of transportation.
They say 23-year-old Dominique San Miguel was arrested on suspicion of child neglect and abuse.
Police say San Miguel was at a motel Wednesday night with his 3-year-old and 5-year-old sons.
At some point, police say San Miguel hooked up with two women and the three of them began drinking in his room.
San Miguel says he fell asleep and when he awoke, his wallet and youngest son were missing.
The boy was later found at a Phoenix home and Clark was arrested.

Who needs a professional camera with a telephoto lens when you have an Apple iPhone 4S? Photojournalist Dan Chung is showing the world just what Apple's soon-to-be upstaged iPhone 4S can do by live blogging the pomp, circumstance and excitement of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London using that amazing little camera phone.
Chung is keeping a photoblog entirely made up of pictures taken with his iPhone, showing the action on the field, in the pools and in the stands. Using the camera in the iPhone 4S, a clip-on Schneider lens, some Canon binoculars and the Snapseed processing app, Chung is capturing everything that makes the Olympics such a special event.
It looks like the iPhone 4S has found an unlikely home in the world of sports photography. We wonder what Chung would have been able to do with an iPhone 5. How about the Superbowl next year, Dan?

ObjectivesThe Forest Carbon
Partnership Facility (FCPF), which became operational in June 2008, is a global partnership
focused on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, forest carbon stock
conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). The
FCPF complements the UNFCCC negotiations on REDD+ by demonstrating how REDD+ can be applied at the
country level and by learning lessons from this early implementation phase.
The FCPF has created a framework and processes for REDD+ readiness, which helps countries get ready
for future systems of financial incentives for REDD+. Using this framework, each participating
country develops an understanding of what it means to become ready for REDD+, in particular by
developing reference scenarios, adopting a REDD+ strategy, designing monitoring systems and setting
up REDD+ national management arrangements, in ways that are inclusive of the key national
GovernanceThe FCPF currently has thirty six REDD Country Participants (13 in Africa,
15 in Latin America and the Caribbean, and eight in Asia-Pacific). The partnership relies on an
effective and inclusive governance structure, with the Participants Assembly and the Participants
Committee at its core.
The Participants Assembly, which is comprised of all the countries and organizations participating in
the FCPF, meets annually and elects the Participants Committee. The Participants Committee is made up
of an equal number of forest (REDD+) countries (14) and financial contributors (14), and is also
comprised of observers representing indigenous peoples, civil society, international organizations,
the UN-REDD Programme, the UNFCCC Secretariat and the private sector. The Committee is the main
decision-making body of the FCPF. It reviews country submissions, decides on grant resource
allocation, approves budgets inter alia.
The World Bank assumes the functions of trustee and secretariat. The World Bank, the Inter-American
Development Bank and United Nations Development Programme are Delivery Partners under the Readiness
Fund and responsible for providing REDD+ readiness support services to distinct countries.
Readiness FundWith assistance from the Readiness Fund (currently about US$258 million
committed or pledged by 15 public donors, each having provided at least US$5 million), each
participating country prepares itself for REDD+ by developing the necessary policies and systems, in
particular by adopting national strategies; developing reference emission levels; designing
measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems; and setting up REDD+ national management
arrangements, including the proper safeguards.
The focus of the FCPF to date has been on REDD+ readiness. A total of 33 countries have already
prepared their Readiness Preparation Proposals, of which 26 for formal assessment, and nine have
received grants to implement these proposals.
In the readiness phase, significant cooperation has been developed between the FCPF and the UN-REDD
Programme, the Forest Investment Program and the Global Environment Facility. In addition, a common
approach to environmental and social safeguards has been developed, which allows the proceeds of the
FCPF Readiness Fund to flow through the various Delivery Partners.
Carbon FundThe Carbon Fund, the second fund of the FCPF became operational in May
2011. It will provide payments for verified emission reductions from REDD+ programs in countries that
have made considerable progress towards REDD+ readiness. About five REDD Country Participants will
qualify for the Carbon Fund based on a progress assessment by the FCPF Participants Committee.
Programs submitted to the Carbon Fund (currently about US$390 million committed or pledged by ten
public and private contributors, each having provided at least US$5 million) will have to meet the
following criteria:
• Focus on results, namely high-quality and sustainable emissions reductions including
social and environmental benefits;
• Sufficient scale of implementation, e.g., at the level of an administrative jurisdiction
within a country or at the national level;
• Consistency with emerging compliance standards under the UNFCCC and other regimes;
• Diversity, so as to generate learning value for the FCPF and other Participants;
• Clear mechanisms so that the incentives for REDD+ reach those who need them; and
• Transparent stakeholder consultations.
In addition, programs implemented at the sub-national scale will need to be consistent with the
emerging national strategies, reference emission levels and MRV systems, and be accompanied by
measures to assess and minimize the risk of leakage.
The Carbon Fund is intended to play a catalytic role for REDD+, building on the experience of
pioneering initiatives such as the BioCarbon Fund. Accordingly, Carbon Fund commitments should be
made early enough to provide incentives to countries to adopt the necessary policies and systems and
undertake the necessary investments. Consistent with the UNFCCC decision on REDD+ adopted in Cancun
in December 2010, the readiness, investment and performance-based payment phases are not purely
sequential but will instead overlap to a large extent. Nevertheless, to ensure that carbon finance
builds on readiness achievements, the FCPF Participants Committee must have assessed a
country's Readiness Package before the country can enter into an Emission Reductions Payment
Agreement with the Carbon Fund.
The Carbon Fund will deliver emission reductions to the financial contributors to the fund pro rata
to the capital share.
Main ActivitiesIn the year ahead, the FCPF will advance its work on critical issues at
the interface between readiness and carbon finance, in particular the readiness package assessment
framework, reference levels and MRV for sub-national emission reductions programs, valuation
approaches for emission reductions, and the methodological and pricing approach to govern the Carbon

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A few weeks ago it was announced by the Carbon Board of Education that Bruin Point Elementary had won statewide recognition for the educational system at the school. The school was said to be one of the top Title One elementary schools in Utah.
That was confirmed even more in a report released on Nov. 30. The report also revealed that in general, education in Carbon District and Pinnacle Canyon Academy schools holds its own with most of the schools in the state. In fact, both rank higher than many of the bigger Wasatch Front districts which everyone always seems to compare them with.
It all has to do with the new Utah Core curriculum and the data from UCAS (Utah Comprehensive Accountability System) which has replaced UPASS (Utah Performance Assessment System for Students and the dreaded AYP (Adequate Yearly Performance) reports that were put in place a decade ago with the No Child Left Behind federal legislation.
When NCLB was starting to be introduced into schools, many in education were scared to death of its draconian deadlines, expectations and threats of schools being taken over by the state if those expectations were not met.
While many of those same educators have changed their tune about the regulations since (some have said that it was actually good for schools), it was a grand relief when the new Utah Core Cirriculem and a waiver system for AYP came along.
"It's great that we in Utah now have one fair, equitable accountability system for student progress, and it's one that honors not just proficiency, but student growth to account for all the hard work of Utah students, teachers and parents," said state assessment and accountability director John Jesse on the day of release. "Parents will be able to get in and see how their child's school is performing in one place."
The federal system is still for NCLB is still in place, but the changing condition of education has allowed schools to obtain waivers. Utah was able to avoid the drastic deadlines imposed by NCLB through the AYP process in the next couple of years by applying for a waiver from some of the statutes requirements and setting up their own system instead. Many states have done that, and many of them are working together in the new core program similar to what Utah has adopted.
With that statement the Utah State Board of Education released their first report on schools and districts and how they are faring with the new Utah Core. Schools were scored on student's academic achievements on state standardized tests in such subjects as math, science, English and language arts. The report not only incorporated where tested students were at, but how much they had learned over the evaluation period.
The report was, and further releases will be based on criterion-referenced tests given each spring to Utah public school students. It will also include the results of direct writing assignments as well as high school graduation numbers. Under the new program schools are measured not only how proficient students are in tested subjects, but also on how many students who haven't made the level they should be at (grade level) are moving toward that goal.
All together a student can get 300 points for proficiency and 300 for the growth they show. And each school is also rated on the 600 point scale itself, based on how all the students averages turn out.
In the case of Bruin Point that level was 574 out of the possible 600. With every public school (including charter schools, alternative high schools and other public education institutions) in the state ranked, the East Carbon/Sunnyside school was 12th out of more than a thousand institutions in the state that were evaluated.
The average non-high school score in the state was 435. High schools alone were at 398. Not one Carbon school fell below the averages for their category.
In elementaries besides Bruin Point were Wellington Elementary with a 516, Creekview with a 483, Castle Heights with a 478 and Sally Mauro with 442.
The two junior highs came in well with Helper Junior High with a 475 and Mont Harmon Junior High with 429.
Carbon High came in with a score of 472, while the Lighthouse High School scored 415. While the Lighthouse score was lower than any of the other schools in the district, amongst alternative high schools in the state (of which there are 18) Lighthouse came in second.
Pinnacle Canyon Academy registered a 475 for the elementary school and a 451 for the junior high/high school.
"We are very pleased with how our scores came out," said Roberta Hardy, the administrator over the Pinnacle Schools. "We are in the top third in the state."
Carbon School District Superintendent also had some good words with how things were reported.
"I think we in Carbon District focus on the specifics of the core tests," said Carlsen. "We know what to teach and how."
It is interesting to note that some of the districts that had some of the highest individual schools also had some of the lowest ones as well. Granite District had some of the top leaders, but two thirds of their 80 plus schools were below average. In the surrounding districts, such as Jordan, Canyons, Davis and Salt Lake City, about half the schools fell below the states averages.
"That didn't surprise me," said Carlsen. "In one regard we have an advantage because our teacher to student ratios are lower than most of the big metropolitan districts. Our kindergarten through third grades have 20-22 students, fourth, fifth and sixth grades have 23-24 and our secondaries have 27-30 students per classroom. Those districts regularly average about 10 more students than any of our averages in this regard."
Interestingly enough the top rated high school in the state did not come from one of the larger or even rich districts in the state, but from little Dugway High School in Tooele School District.
One of the major differences between the UCAS scoring system and the way the AYP worked was that AYP was a black and white system of thumbs up on a schools progress or thumbs down, which could have triggered some drastic action by the state over a period of time against a school. The scores recorded for schools replace the yes/no configuration on federal reports.
Carlsen also said that when the preliminary scores came in about six weeks ago, Carbon actually had higher scores because the way the system had been set up it was more heavily favored in the growth that students had made academically.
"But the state decided to give a more balanced score between proficiency and growth so we came in where we did," he said. "I am very happy with what came out in the report."

An artist's book is a work of art that takes the form of a book. But what does that mean? And what counts as a book, anyway? Is it a bunch of pages that have been bound together, or is there more to it than that?
These are the kinds of questions that artists' books try to answer. They play with both the form and the function of books as objects, encouraging onlookers to question traditional conceptualizations of "books." They are usually handmade, often unique, and all different from one another. Because most artist's books are hand-made and only crafted in small, limited runs, they offer artists a special opportunity to create books that are intensely personal.
All of the books featured in this exhibit are part of Miami University's Walter Havighurst Special Collections. The materials on display reflect a concentrated effort to build a diverse, provocative collection that will challenge students to reconsider their notion of "books" while also paying tribute to the creativity and innovation of book artists across the globe.

Rodan + Fields At-A-Glance
Strengths: Two fantastic skin-lightening products with hydroquinone; a well-packaged retinol product; every sunscreen provides sufficient UVA protection; some fragrance-free options.
Weaknesses: Expensive; jar packaging hinders effectiveness of several otherwise impressive products; sunscreens should contain more bells and whistles for the money; eyebrow-raising amount of products with irritating ingredients.
Many of you are probably familiar with physicians Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields from their appearances on infomercials about their successful ProActiv line of anti-acne skin-care products. The Rodan + Fields supposedly therapeutic approaches are advertised for those suffering from a variety of skin conditions, and are claimed to work for anti-aging, skin discolorations, sensitive skin, and acne.
Lots of consumers believe that dermatologist-developed products will be the answer for their skin-care woes; but, in two words, they aren't. After reviewing dozens of so-called doctor-designed product lines, including this one, we can tell you there are no miracles to be found, and often there are some problematic products to steer clear of. Overall, many of these lines are quite comparable to other product lines without the physician headliner credentials and exorbitant prices. (Shockingly, Rodan + Fields' acne products are virtually identical to their ProActiv products, except that these cost more. We assume they thought no one would notice; perhaps they are right.)
Many consumers want simplicity when it comes to making decisions about what skin-care products they should use. The Rodan + Fields marketing strategy is to make it simple. They eliminate the confusion about what products work together by creating streamlined, prepackaged product groups, each aimed at specific skin-care concerns. Each product group is enclosed in a clever, take-along parcel that is the skin-care equivalent of a sack lunch. (Products are also available separately for those who want to customize their routine or add products outside the predetermined routines.) This structured approach has merit, but, as you will see from the reviews below, each routine has at least one questionable or lackluster formulation, or a problem with packaging. Considering that these are really pricey products, this is not good news.
Rodan + Fields does deserve kudos for being one of the few cosmetics companies to list the ingredients for each product on their Web site. It's a major help for beleaguered, savvy consumers who care about this detail. Still, it would have been better all around if they offered more thoughtful, less problematic formulas.

CANTON The town Planning Board has hatched up new regulations that, if approved, would allow people to raise chickens in the towns residential zones regardless of their property size.
The new proposal replaces a proposed zoning law the Town Council rejected in May after opponents plucked it apart.
Many residents objected to the original proposal because it required residential property owners to have a minimum of three acres in order to raise chickens on their parcels. In its review, the St. Lawrence County Planning Board also recommended against setting a minimum lot size.
We dropped the acreage entirely, town Planning Board Chairman Michael K. Morgan said. That was the biggest obstacle we were facing with everyone.
The three-acre minimum was eliminated because it would rule out many residents from raising chickens, he said.
Mr. Morgan said the Planning Board has reached a consensus about what should be included in the new proposal. Those recommendations are expected to be reviewed at the town boards Oct. 7 meeting, which will start at 5 p.m. in the Rensselaer Falls Village Office.
The recommendations include limiting residential property owners to a maximum of six chickens and not allowing roosters. The original proposal did not set a limit on the number of birds, but also prohibited roosters.
The Planning Board also wants to require chicken owners to have an enclosed coop with a fenced-in chicken run thats a minimum of 10 feet by 10 feet in size.
Thats mostly to prevent wandering in neighbors yards and protect the chickens from prey, Mr. Morgan said.
Those who want chickens would be required to submit a site plan for review. Neighbors would be notified, but not required to give approval, under the new prosed regulations.
The towns residential zones include sections of county routes 27 and 32, Hale Road, Judson Street Road, Miner Street Road, Woodmere Drive and Route 310. Residents in the towns rural zones already are allowed to raise chickens without restrictions.
The village allows property owners to raise chickens in residential zones if their neighbors dont object.
Mr. Morgan said he is working on a rough draft of the Planning Board proposal. If the Town Council wishes, it then would direct Town Attorney Charles B. Nash to write the proposed law. A public hearing would be scheduled to allow input from residents.
Earlier this year, two residents of Woodmere Drive objected to altering the zoning code in residential areas. They also criticized town officials for not always enforcing the zoning laws that already are on the books.
