For several years, Alianza operated a small research center (El Centro) under the leadership of Dr. Julia Perilla and in partnership with Georgia State University. El Centro worked to promote culturally competent research that helped to inform policies and helped to develop culturally relevant strategies, approaches, and programs. As part of this partnership we posted an annotated bibliography on our website; kept a database with relevant literature on policy, research, and practice from the U.S. and Latin America; and helped to develop and promote Latino researchers. The following are some research summaries produced by El Centro between 2006 and 2008. Please note that Dr. Julia Perilla no longer works with Alianza. She is now affiliated with Casa de Esperanza (Minneapolis, MN), as well as GSU and Caminar Latino (Atlanta, GA).

El Encuentro: A Gathering of Researchers and Community Members provided a forum for an interdisciplinary discussion of domestic violence in Latino communities, which was designed to help Alianza craft a sound course of action and promote collaborative relationships between academic researchers and other members of the domestic violence community, paving the way for the development of a research agenda that both advances our understanding of domestic violence and addresses the practical needs of our community. The results of this challenging and important task are the subject of this report.
Analytical Frame Work for Alianza
We offer this document with the hope that it will promote understanding, spur discussion and generate new solutions to domestic violence and other oppressions which trouble our communities. It represents our best understanding, our conocimiento, the wisdom of our communities, and expresses our faith in the sacredness of all relations and communities.
Working with Men & Boys to end Domestic Violence
This position paper represents a collaborative effort between Alianza staff and Dr. Julia Perilla, then Director of Alianza's research Center (El Centro)located at Georgia State University. It was developed as a vehicle to engage people in conversation regarding the evolving issue of domestic violence. From its early beginnings, Alianza has addressed the importance of including both men and women in our work. In that process we have taken approaches and developed strategies that often differ from conventional ways of addressing this issue. This position paper on working with men and boys delineates the principles with which we approach this task.

Internal Medicine Residency Program
For more than 75 years, the Department of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Training Program at Massachusetts General Hospital has brought experience, commitment and a rigorous and balanced approach to the training of internal medicine residents.
A Message from our Program DirectorA message from Jatin M. Vyas, MD, PhD, the program director for the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. Read more
At Massachusetts General Hospital, the Department of Medicine categorical, primary care, global primary care and preliminary year residency training programs provide intensive exposure to the practice of internal medicine and prepare graduates for a wide variety of careers in medicine.
The Categorical Program and the Primary Care Program are three-year programs that provide core clinical training in internal medicine and meet the requirements of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). Completion of either program qualifies the candidate as board-eligible in internal medicine. The principal difference between Mass General's Categorical and the Primary Care Programs is the amount of time allocated to training and education in the ambulatory setting. Candidates may apply to any or all of our programs, but will complete one.
We offer broad clinical experience across both inpatient and ambulatory settings, dedicated teaching faculty who are leaders in their fields, a strong camaraderie, resident research opportunities and top-ranked fellowship and career placement. With these resources, the program enables residents to develop excellent clinical skills while attaining long-term career goals.
Consult the following links for more information about each program:
- Categorical Program
Provides residents with standard-setting health care training in a wide variety of rotations and leadership roles.
- Categorical | ABIM Research Pathway
Track for careers in research-oriented academic medicine. Residents complete clinical training in two years as part of our Categorical Program followed by fellowship training in basic or clinical research.
- Primary Care Program
Trains residents to provide comprehensive care for patients, including excellent ongoing primary care of patients and inpatient care for acutely ill patients. Primary care residents serve on inpatient general medical teams, as well as spend nearly 40% of clinical training time in outpatient settings.
- Global Primary Care Program
An ACGME-approved, three-year multidisciplinary residency in internal medicine, followed by a one-yearclinical fellowship and faculty development programthat integrates the principles and practice of global health and primary care in order to develop future leaders to advance health equity and strengthen health systems in the United States and around the world.
- Preliminary Program
Training in primary care for interns completing a preliminary year before moving on to other specialties.
- Medicine-Pediatrics Program
A four-year training program in general internal medicine and pediatrics. Residents in this program rotate through the Mass General internal medicine and pediatric residencies and are essential members of both programs. The goal of the Harvard Mass General Program is to afford outstanding clinical training in both internal medicine and pediatrics, while fostering development in research and community service.
Fellowships at Mass General
After completing training in internal medicine, many of our graduates continue their training in medical subspecialties - either at Mass General or other institutions. Mass General offers fellowship training across a wide spectrum of medical subspecialties including:
- Allergy and Immunology
- Cardiology
- Endocrinology
- Gastroenterology
- General Medicine

Related Information
The Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Medicine's Internal Medicine Residency Program is structured to train thoughtful and independent physicians who are prepared for diverse careers in medicine. The principal strength of the Mass General program is the significant time devoted to direct inpatient and outpatient care in a manner which promotes both meaningful responsibility and appropriate supervision. On the inpatient rotation, residents alternate through two general medicine services, intensive care units, the Emergency Department and consultation services. Outpatient education is provided by the ambulatory care rotation (ACR), ambulatory subspecialty rotation (ASR) and a weekly continuity clinic.
Experience gained from patient care in both the inpatient and outpatient settings is complemented by daily and weekly conferences which range from formal didactic lectures to case-based interactive discussions. Electives provide time for residents to pursue other interests in medical subspecialties, research and self-designed rotations. A wide spectrum of basic and clinical research is conducted every year by Mass General residents and countless opportunities are available at Mass General and throughout the rest of the Harvard community. For those with an interest in international health, the Global Health Program complements traditional training with international health experiences.

Resident Life and Community
Residency can be an intense and challenging experience, but is also likely to be one of the most rewarding periods of a physician's life. The Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program is deeply invested in it its residents and strives to ensure that residents have time for meaningful growth in both their professional and personal lives.

Few cities can rival Boston for its cultural offerings, rich history, thriving intellectual life and wide range of recreational activities. Our own neighborhood, Beacon Hill, is one of the oldest and most charming sections of the city with 19th century brick row houses and tree-lined streets. This family-friendly neighborhood is known for its antique shops, specialty stores, fine restaurants and bars. For the outdoor enthusiast, the Charles River is only steps away and Mass General residents have subsidized access to sailing and kayaking all season long. Miles of well-maintained running paths follow the banks of the river out toward the western suburbs and are ideal for a scenic afternoon jog or bike ride. In addition, some of the best beaches and mountains on the east coast are only a short drive away.
Boston is a wonderful city to train in and is a perfect starting point to explore New England. Few cities can rival Boston for its cultural offerings, rich history, thriving intellectual life and wide range of recreational activities. Our own neighborhood, Beacon Hill, is one of the oldest and most charming sections of the city with 19th century brick row houses and tree-lined streets. This family-friendly neighborhood is known for its antique shops, specialty stores, fine restaurants and bars. For the outdoor enthusiast, the Charles River is only steps away and Mass General residents have subsidized access to sailing and kayaking all season long. Miles of well-maintained running paths follow the banks of the river out toward the western suburbs and are ideal for a scenic afternoon jog or bike ride. In addition, some of the best beaches and mountains on the east coast are only a short drive away.
Many of the cultural and social activities at Mass General are sponsored by the resident-run Humanities and Medicine Group. Recent events and meetings have included guided tours of local museums, Shakespeare in the Park and a book club. The biannual Coffee Houses are always among the most popular and well-attended events in the yearly schedule. On these occasions, residents and faculty perform music, sing, read poetry and exhibit photography and sculpture. Other resident groups have formed in recent years to bring together those with similar interests such as running events, and we always welcome new groups and ideas.
Community Outreach Program (COP)
The Community Outreach Program (COP) is a volunteer effort founded and coordinated by residents interested in providing needed service within the community, enhancing collegiality and relationships among residents, and building relationships with local communities, shelters and charitable organizations. Participating residents organize service projects throughout the year. Residents prepare and serve meals at local homeless shelters, participate in fundraisers for charitable organizations, and organize resident participation in races and contests that support charitable causes.
Personal and Family Time
For residency to be truly meaningful, it is important to have time for family and friends and to pursue different interests, or simply have time for reflection. While a resident schedule can be challenging, we recognize our residents have lives outside of the hospital.
Vacation and Holiday Blocks
In addition to four weeks of vacation time each year for all residents, each junior and senior resident also gets a five-day holiday block off (i.e., Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years or the Jewish High Holidays).
Diversity & Inclusion
Led by Sherri-Ann Burnett-Bowie, MD, MPH, the Department of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program works closely with the Mass General Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) to attract and advance the careers of under-represented in medicine (URM) students, physicians and researchers, as well as to develop culturally competent physicians. We believe this mission is essential for providing our patients with the very best health care and for improving the health of the diverse communities we serve. The Residency Program and CDI have designed mentorship and career development programs for residents during their training at Mass General. The CDI also sponsors welcoming receptions and networking opportunities to enhance the work environment and build community. The CDI Resident and Fellow Committee (RFC) promotes the mentorship and development of URM residents and fellows at Mass General. The RFC sponsors opportunities to network, develop careers and become involved in the communities of Harvard and Boston.

Women in Internal Medicine at Mass General
The Mass General Department of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program supports and facilitates the advancement of female physicians-in-training with the aim of creating future women leaders in medicine. Women play a key role in the leadership of the residency program starting with Katrina Armstrong, MD, who serves as the physician-in-chief of the Department of Medicine, Kerri Palamara-McGrath, MD, director of the Primary Care Program, as well as several women faculty serving as associate program directors.
The Mass General Department of Medicine Women in Medicine Group provides a formal space for female medical residents to meet with fellows and faculty to discuss important issues to women physicians such as work-family balance, mentorship, gender equity and career development, with the overall goal to strengthen the contribution of women in the Department of Medicine as well as in the field of medicine as a whole.

According to the NY Post, the coach of NYU's club hockey team, Chris Consentino is running the Rangers informal practices this week.
Until the CBA is ratified and the lockout is officially lifted, the coaches are not allowed to have any contact with the players.
The Post says that Consentino had the Rangers running an "intense conditioning drill" for the last 20 minutes of practice. The drill saw the players skating around both nets repeatedly.
Ryan McDonagh told the paper that it felt a lot like a Rangers practice, "Not a lot of time between drills and high intensity."
During the lockout, John Tortorella visited and spoke with the NYU Hockey team.

North country community teams are gearing up for the annual Relay for Life fundraising season to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Kickoff programs will take place at 6 p.m. March 4 at the Lowville Elks Lodge, Lowville, Lewis County; at 6:30 p.m. March 6 at the Ramada Inn, Watertown, Jefferson County, and at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Ogdensburg Free Academy, St. Lawrence County.
Were looking for anyone interested in fighting cancer, said Donald J. Boshart, community executive for the American Cancer Society. A lot of times they feel helpless. Raising funds and attending events, and bringing survivors to events helps. Anyone recently diagnosed may see theres a light at the end of the tunnel.
Mr. Boshart said the American Cancer Society uses Relay for Life money for cancer research. The agency also offers college scholarships, Reach to Recovery program to help connect breast cancer patients/survivors with people recently diagnosed with breast cancer, Look Good, Feel Better program to educate people on how to apply makeup and do hairstyles, Road to Recovery program to provide cancer patients with rides to appointments, and Hope Lodge sites throughout the country to offer a place for cancer patients and their support systems to rest while receiving treatment.
In 2012 alone, Mr. Boshart said, cancer patients and their caregivers from Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties spent 1,650 nights at Hope Lodges.
According to the American Cancer Societys most recent statistics from 2011, a majority of Lewis, Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties cancer cases are prostate, breast, lung and bronchus, and colorectal. Also in 2011, an average of 28 people each week were diagnosed with cancer.
Throughout the Relay for Life fundraising season, Mr. Boshart said, he and other American Cancer Society representatives will provide any support needed to help teams run successful campaigns. They will educate teammates when to get cancer screenings, with the idea that information will be passed along, possibly leading to early detection of cancer. He said the American Cancer Society is there for cancer patients through their struggles.
The north countrys Relay for Life events will be May 31 and June 1 for Lewis County, June 14 and 15 for Jefferson County and June 7 and 8 for Ogdensburg.

Glendale-based Johnson Controls Inc. suddenly finds itself in the middle of a squabble in the 2012 U.S. presidential race.
Brian Slagle, an autoworker at JCI's factory in Toledo, Ohio, is featured a new television commercial for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
In the new ad, Slagle says he was laid off and "scared to death" until Obama swooped in to save the American automotive industry.
While he drives on Interstate 475 in Toledo in the ad, Slagle gives Obama credit for having saved his job.
"The auto industry was crashing down. I was scared to death. I had a newborn baby, a wife, a house, and I got laid off. I wasn't sure what I was going to do," Slagle says in the ad. "Obama stuck his neck out for us, the auto industry. He wasn't going to let it just die, and I'm driving in this morning because of that, because of him."
The Republican National Committee is criticizing the ad and Johnson Controls. The GOP says Johnson Controls received $299 million from Obama's economic stimulus package. However, after receiving the money, the company built just one factory instead of two, the GOP says.
Then, in early April, the company laid off an unannounced number of workers to cut costs, after it reported weak sales results from January.
"While Obama may want you to forget he's been President for the past three and a half years, the fact that his policies have wreaked havoc on the middle class from high unemployment, high energy and higher education costs won't be forgotten. America deserves better than Obama's brand of hype and blame," national GOP Chairman Reince Priebus, a Wisconsin attorney, said in a statement to the Toledo Blade.
However, Fraser Engerman, director of global media relations for Johnson Controls, told BizTimes Thursday that the company received a $299 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop lithium batteries for hybrid vehicles at its plant in Holland, Mich. Engerman said the company did not receive any stimulus funding for its factory near Toledo.
"Johnson Controls did not receive federal funding for the expansion of our automotive battery plant near Toledo, Ohio. This plant supplies the automakers directly and is affected by the volume swings of the OE (original equipment) schedules. Layoffs at our plant reflect the impact of reduced demand from our customers, as is common throughout the automotive supply chain," Engerman said in a statement.
Frank Benenati, an Obama campaign spokesman, responded to the RNC's comments about the ad with this quote to ABC News: "The simple fact is that one in eight Ohioans, including Brian, have jobs supported by the American auto industry that President Obama stepped in to save. Brian's story would have been much different if Mitt Romney had his way and let Detroit to go bankrupt. As much as Romney tries to Etch-a-Sketch his stance on the auto rescue, his position would have devastated the industry, including thousands of parts manufacturers throughout the supply chain, sacrificing Brian's job and countless others across Ohio and the Midwest."
Back in 2008 - at the height of the financial crisis – presumed 2012 Republican presidential nominate Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed for the New York Times opposing the Obama administration's plan to bail out the American auto industry.
In the op-ed, Romney wrote, "IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won't go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed. Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check."
The U.S. automotive industry has since recovered, and General Motors Corp. has regained its ranking as the largest automaker in the world. Romney's critics say the U.S. government had to intervene to save the industry, because no private capital was available to do so.

OGDENSBURG - The St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center Task Force is highlighting people and groups in the region who wear their SAVE SLPC and SLPC = EXCELLENCE t-shirts after learning that the state has asked psychiatric center employees to refrain from wearing them on the job.
Ogdensburg City Manager John M. Pinkerton said, The psychiatric center is now telling their employees that they cant wear their t-shirts saying save the psych center because its creating anxiety among the patients.
Local 423 CSEA President Ronnie D. Freeman Jr. said, Thats a directive from the Acting Director [Timothy J. Farrell].
Mr. Freeman said the order came through on Wednesday. They said that its affecting the therapy of the patients.
Mr. Farrell could not be immediately reached for comment.
But Mr. Freeman isnt convinced that the t-shirts were causing patients to be upset.
Its not the t-shirts, Mr. Freeman said, instead pointing to the plan by the state Office of Mental Health to move child inpatient services to Utica and adult care to Syracuse.
Charles Chuck W. Kelly, chair of the Psychiatric Center Task Force, said, The [patients] are upset because they want to close the center, not because people are wearing the t-shirts. Its a terrible thought that they would believe that the patients would be upset over the t-shirts.
The patients are upset – theres no question about that. Theyre very upset about the fact that the state may close this center and they would have to go downstate for service, Mr. Kelly said.
Because of the ban on employees wearing the t-shirts the psychiatric center is hoping to highlight local people, groups and businesses that support keeping inpatient services local.
This week the task force highlighted the staff at Lincoln Elementary School.
T-shirts can be purchased at the Ogdensburg City Hall.

In August, almost $220 million in walking and bicycling grants will be awarded to communities across California through the state's new Active Transportation Program (ATP). In a hard-won victory by the Safe Routes to School National Partnership's state network in California, at least $72 million of that total will fund Safe Routes to School projects and programs.
In Los Angeles County, two years collaborative efforts to make sure the County's transportation investments add up to create a truly multimodal system are at a critical juncture!
The technologies drawing attention are user-centric that allow both users and providers to interact and share information about the transportation network. Active transportation and Safe Routes to Schools advocates should care about these trends because they are expanding transportation options, promoting active lifestyles and tipping the political scales towards multi-modalism in planning and implementation.The digital space is using the influx of information (i.e. big data) to find patterns and efficiencies in the transportation system. These mobile and web applications are facilitating supportive programs and policies for walking, bicycling and Safe Routes to School, even when active transportation is not the immediate focus of mobile and web applications. Safe Routes to School supporters will be able to better partner with transportation agencies, organizations and advocates, if they stay alert to the culture changes that technology is causing within transportation.
First, I posit that ride and car-sharing services will bolster walkable and bikeable communities. I see many ways that students and families will be supported and encouraged to be car-free or car-limited with more reliable alternative networks, such as ride and car-share, cross jurisdictional bicycle and pedestrian networks and public transportation. Ridesharing mobile applications like Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar are booming and flipped the script on taxi and car services and local job creation. Users of ride share applications can name their price for trips with Lyft and benefit (or suffer) with surge pricing with Uber. Potentially communities benefits in the strengthening of ride and car-share through crowdsourcing affordability and flexibility. Paratransit riders - usually the elderly and persons with disability - are also frequent users of ride-shares. Additionally, car sharing companies like Zipcar allow drivers to rent a car by the hour, where prices include insurance and maintenance. Personally, I know families that would benefit from having better access to alternative networks to get children to school and after-school activities. One family in particular was forced to give up their car free lifestyle when the local Zipcar location was closed. These technologies are means to fill in the transportation gaps for communities and families.
Eric Bruins, Los Angeles County Bicycle CoalitionJessica Meaney, Southern California Policy Director, Safe Routes to School National Partnership
In early November 2013, the San Bernardino Association of Governments (SANBAG) board adopted a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (Item 7) with the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG). The MOU commits the two agencies to working together on projects related to the implementation of the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). While the RTP/SCS is mandated by SB 375, state legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through trying land use and transportation planning in the RTP process, the MOU is strictly voluntary.
The MOU between SCAG and SANBAG demonstrates both agencies' commitment to the policies, projects and strategies set forth in the 2012 RTP/SCS. It is important for County Transportation Commissions (CTCs) to show commitment to implementation of plans and policies.
Specific planning projects are included in SANBAG's MOU that will transform San Bernardino County into a more walkable and bikeable place, improve the public health outcomes of its residents and help increase the number of children walking and bicycling to school. The MOU incorporates items recommended in the San Bernardino Active Transportation Vision, statistics and policy recommendations developed by stakeholders from San Bernardino County, including SANBAG staff, San Bernardino County Department of Public Health, Omnitrans, Safe Routes to School National Partnership, American Lung Association, MoveIE and Inland Empire Bicycle Alliance.
I'm thrilled to share big news out of Sacramento, after a year of hard work by advocates: walking, bicycling, and Safe Routes to School projects will receive a 35 percent boost in state funding through legislation signed by Governor Jerry Brown yesterday. The bill that establishes the new program, Senate Bill 99, combines $130 millio
California Senate District 7 is home to suburban bedroom communities such as Dublin, Antioch and Walnut Creek. District 7 is also the beneficiary of over $8,000,000 in Safe Routes to School grants, as Senator Mark DeSaulnier, Senate Transportation Committee Chair, learned from advocates Thursday Aug 15. The meeting between DeSaulnier, Safe Routes to School National Partnership Director Deb Hubsmith, and local advocates was one of 65 meetings with legislators and their staff as part of the first Safe Routes to School Advocay Day in California.
Nearly three years in the making, Plan Bay Area was approved by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in an after-midnight vote early in the morning of July 19. Plan Bay Area will have massive significant impacts on active transportation, public transit, housing, and other f
On Wednesday, June 26, the Bay Area's metropolitan planning organization (MPO), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), voted to keep a requirement that cities and towns maintain Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (BPACs) to receive certain state funds. They also voted to strengthen this requirement, stipulating that BPACs review not only bicycle projects but also pedestrian projects.
Last week three representatives from the Safe Routes to School National Partnership (National Partnership) attended the Childhood Obesity Conference in Long Beach, CA.
Bay Area advocates for active transportation came together to successfully defeat an attempt to weaken bicycle and pedestrian requirements in the region. In May, staff from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), released a proposal that would eliminate a requirement that cities and town maintain a bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee (BPAC) to receive certain state funds.
The Safe Routes to School National Partnership (National Partnership) submitted comments on the Draft Plan Bay Area and the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), both of which will have massive impacts on active transportation, public transit, housing, and other factors affecting th
Last week, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) convened the annual Regional Conference and General Assembly (GA) in Palm Desert for two days. The GA is a yearly convening of elected officials from across Southern California to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year.
Leah Murphy is a currently a Master's Student at the University of California Los Angeles. Leah's interest in increasing access to open space and her desire to improve conditions for children and their families for walking and biking led her to partner with the National Partnership to complete her thesis focused on prioritizing schools for Joint Use agreements.

On any given night, you can find us in our beds-but unable to sleep-our brains abuzz with some seemingly urgent fashion-related question. We can't tell you how many hours we've spent wondering about such vastly important things like: who makes the best boyfriend jeans, what shade of nail polish we'll be coveting next spring, and how we can get our hands on Mary-Kate Olsen's latest handbag? The only way we seem to be able to silence our midnight musings is to discuss our fixations in a public forum. Today, dear readers, we're happy to exercise (or at least address) our current craving: chains, chains, chains!
As we mentioned in our seasonal preview, we spotted chain link details in many of our favorite fall runway shows, including Chloe, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Gucci. The boldest version appeared at Givenchy, where Riccardo Tisci draped his models in heaps of chain necklaces festooned with cross, coin, and horseshoe charms. Happily, this wasn't just one of those dramatic runway looks that never sees the light of day (or a store floor, more specifically). Givenchy actually created several versions of this astonishing look, including the aforementioned Gold Metal Two-Stranded, Six-Stranded, and Multi-Chain & Charm Necklaces ($2500), as a part of their stellar fall accessories collection.
While we would flip for any of the Givenchy necklaces, truth be told, we don't really have any reason to wear half our body weight in gold chain, nor do we have many upcoming events for which this exact look would be appropriate. However, we could work some less intense, but still substantial, versions into our daily outfits with ease (more on that in a moment). We'd also like to remind you that there's more than one way to introduce this runway-inspired look into your wardrobe. If you're interested in a slightly more subtle chain effect, go for a heavy metal bracelet like Kenneth Cole New York's Multichain Bracelet ($48) or Iosselliani's Tangle Cuff ($495). After all, a wrist wrapped in bracelets will always be a less intense look than a sternum covered in chains, right?
As for your WhoWhatWear.com editors, we're still trying to figure out which piece we want to buy (we found so many!). Until we decide, we're going to get crafty and mix a handful of our vintage chains with some new cheapie pieces (recession style-oh yeah) from Forever 21. But if jewelry making isn't your forte, perhaps you should check out a few of our favorite necklaces, all of which are listed below!
1. ASOS Multi Chain Beaten Disc Necklace ($30)
This assortment of gold, bronze, and silver chains is sure to cause envy and enthusiasm amongst your peers. It's also a practical purchase, as the versatile multi-colored metal will go with anything.
2. Maison Martin Margiela Chain Necklace ($275)
This intricate piece is several necklaces in one and the shape reminds us of a dream catcher. It's a truly a statement piece, thanks to cubic zirconia, chrysolite, and a variety of metal details, and should be worn with something simple and unornamented, like Love Yaya's Claire Tee ($90).
3. Banana Republic Multi-Layer Chain Necklace ($49)
We rely on Banana Republic's inexpensive high-quality baubles to round out the contents of our jewelry boxes. Lately we're in love with their six-stranded steel chain necklace because it's a sleek take on the trend at a great price point.
4. Forever 21 Knotted Multichain Necklace ($6.80)
Leave it to Forever 21 to create an absurdly affordable version of any trend or style. The longest strand of their chain cluster necklace measures a whopping 36-inches long, so it drapes beautifully, and the cost is minimal, so you won't feel guilty indulging!
5. Lucky Brand Love Layer Necklace($95)
Lucky Brand offers more than just jeans, as this excellent triple-layered, gold-tone wooden disc necklace shows us! It has very bohemian feeling and we could picture Sienna Miller wearing it with any of her neo-boho outfits.
6. Marciano Cynthia Multi-Layer Necklace ($198)
We're assuming Madonna's Like A Prayer video must have inspired this dramatic piece. This necklace combines two trends in one with countless metallic chains and a large cross pendant for a perfectly Givenchy-like look. -Jessica Amento

GOUVERNEUR E.J. Noble Hospital has issued a statement that it hopes to have a plan for its future and for Kinney Nursing Home, its affiliate, in the near future.
We have evaluated all areas of the organizations and identified potential avenues by which EJN can continue to meet its mission to serve patients and residents. Once complete, the plan, with the assistance and support from our largest creditor and a neighboring hospital, will provide a realistic pathway to enable the sustainment of critically needed health care services for our community, the statement said. We are confident that the components necessary to implement the plan will be in place in the very near future, and we are working diligently to that end.

Comments about Deuter Packs Sunglass Pouch:
I use this for storing my sunglasses while backpacking and hiking. Going in and out of forests and clouds means I don't want to wear my sunglasses constantly. This case gives me a convenient place to store them when I don't need them, that will also protect them from the perils of backpacking. My last pair of sunglasses were destroyed when I stopped to rest and didn't think about where my glasses were strapped as I flung off my pack onto a rock...oops. This fixes that problem!
It is a little annoying to have the case on your strap bc it is right in your face, but overall completely worth it for the protection!

text: When one thinks of the myriad espionage exploitation films that flickered across movie screens in the wake of James Bond's unprecedented success as a film franchise, one generally thinks of the countless cheap though often entertaining Eurospy entries into the genre. After all, there were scores of them, and a lot of them weren't half bad. The ones that were half bad were at least halfway enjoyable. The ones that weren't even halfway enjoyable were called Agent for H.A.R.M. The desire to mimic James Bond and, in doing so, perhaps mimic a little of the success, was hardly the sole property of America and Europe, however. Bond was as big in Asia as he was everywhere else in the world, and Asian film industries were just as quick to cash in on the trend with their own particular twist on the superspy genre.

A federal statute (46 U.S.C. § 688) that extends the Federal Employer's Liability Act (FELA) to seamen. The Act enables seamen who have been injured at sea during the course of their employment to bring a personal injury action against their employers.
Under the Jones Act, the plaintiff may bring an action in federal district court or in state court.
The defendant is not entitled to remove the case from a state court to federal court. Although maritime law generally does not afford the plaintiffs the right to a jury trial, the Jones Act grants plaintiffs that right in personal injury actions.
46 U.S.C. § 688(a) reads: "Any sailor who shall suffer personal injury in the course of his employment may, at his election, maintain an action for damages at law, with the right to trial by jury, and in such an action all statutes of the United States modifying or extending the common-law right or remedy in cases of personal injury to railway employees shall apply…."

Way to go Alfie!!
(a.k.a. Lucky's & Sparky's mom!)
Alfie so reminds me of Joly. They move in the same way. Sometimes, if Joly gets overenthusiastic, you can lift him bodily by the fluffy. He will let go , if you use a stern voice, though.
Barbara, Monty, Joly and Teddy.
awwwww they both look cute. Great tug-of-war partners.

In recent days, Howard Dean and other social redistributionists have bloviated that the way to solve the Nation's fiscal problems is to return to the tax rates under President Bill Clinton. Here's a better suggestion: Return to Clinton-era spending.
In 2000, Clinton's last year in office, Federal spending hit $2.325 trillion. Federal revenue that year was $2.632 trillion.
In 2012, Federal spending under President Barack Obama was $3.563 trillion. Cut Federal spending back to Clinton-era levels and with 2012 revenues under the Obama tax cuts coming in at $2.435 trillion, the U.S. is no longer deficit spending.
Under the tax cuts (first implemented by President George W. Bush and continued by Obama), the government took in more revenue during Bush's eight years ($17.427 trillion) than during Clinton's ($16,970). In 2007, Federal revenues were $150 billion more under Bush than during Clinton's highest revenue year, which was 2000.
In fact, despite the depression, Federal revenues have been fairly constant. Under Clinton's last four years, Federal revenues totaled $9.530 trillion versus $9.238 in Obama's first four. The problem is not revenues or the lack thereof. The problem is spending: first under Bush and then Obama.
Since 2002, Federal spending per household climbed from $23,010 to $29,691 in 2012, a 29 percent increase (adjusted for inflation).
Now, redistributionists on both sides of the aisle are proposing increased spending and higher taxes as a "solution" to the fiscal cliff. Neither side is talking of cutting spending in any meaningful way.
Forget more spending and taxes. Return to Clinton-era spending and the fiscal crisis is on the road to a solution. Of course, it'll never happen.

For people with asthma and allergies, the holidays present health challenges unique to the winter season. Busier-than-usual social schedules, chilly weather and cherished family customs combined make staying healthy a daily priority for people with asthma and allergy.
Surviving—and enjoying—the holidays is easier when you plan ahead and take preventive action. Here are some tips to help you plan for the holidays so that you'll look back on this season with joy instead of relief.
Food Allergies: How to Plan
From Halloween through New Year's day, the holidays are filled with foods to be avoided by people with food allergies. Children, especially, need to be protected from certain candies and foods that cause allergic reactions. Inform family members and friends of special diet restrictions so that there will be plenty of "safe" food to eat at holiday get-togethers. Prepare allergy-free snacks and meals in advance; freeze or store as much food as possible so that busy work and school schedules don't erode healthy eating habits.
Eating away from home requires advance planning to prevent potential allergic reactions. Take time to check restaurant menus before eating out. Call the hostess or manager and have them help you identify menu items the allergic person can safely eat. Offer to bring allergen-free dishes that complement meals hosted by friends or relatives to make sure that everyone enjoys these special events.
If you or a family member have food allergies, have an epinephrine injection kit with you at all times because this busy season includes events, which almost always feature food too tempting to resist. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answer factsheet on, "What is Anaphylaxis.")
Outdoor Mold Allergies Can be a Problem this Season
From raking wet leaves to choosing logs for the fireplace, allergy sufferers need to be prepared. Be sure to remove wet dirt and leaves from around the foundation and gutters of your house to prevent outdoor mold from accumulating near windows and doors. Stack all firewood outside, bringing new logs in only for immediate use in your fireplace or wood-burning stove.
Ideally, someone without outdoor mold allergy should perform outdoor activities where mold poses a threat. If you have to perform these chores, be sure to dress appropriately (i.e., wearing protective items such as gloves, face mask, etc.) and keep preventive and or/treatment medication readily available.
Mold can also flourish indoors if the humidity is too high. When the heat is on, check humidity levels in those rooms where you'll spend most of your time, including bathrooms and basement living areas. Keep indoor humidity below 50 percent, as long as you're comfortable and allergy symptoms are minimal. Consider a dehumidifier, if necessary. (See Asthma and Allergy Answer factsheet on, "Mold Allergy.")
Cold Weather and Asthma
The cold, too, can be less than delightful for people with asthma. Warm and humidify winter winds before they enter your lungs by wearing a scarf or muffler over your face. If these don't protect against asthma episodes, consider buying a warming mask, available at most medical supply stores.
If you regularly work, play or exercise outdoors, you may need medication to prevent asthma caused by cold-weather activity. With the help of your physician, identify the best preventive medication for your condition and have an adequate supply on hand. Use this preventive medication at least 15 to 30 minutes before heading outdoors.
Indoor Air Quality
Everyone spends more time indoors during the winter months. It is important to be aware of your indoor air quality. You may consider cleaning your chimney before that first holiday fire and be sure the fireplace flue works properly. Check fireplace vents and keep fireplace doors closed to eliminate as much smoke as possible. Replace fireplace screens with a door.
If you use a wood-burning stove, talk with your allergist or family physician about ways to reduce irritants caused by smoldering embers and other combustible materials.
Decorations and ornaments stored in the attic, basement, or garage can become coated with dust and mold. Proper storage is the key to making future festivities fun instead of frustrating. Thoroughly clean and dry all decorations, seal them in plastic bags and store the bagged items in airtight containers or clean boxes.
If you are extremely sensitive to dust and mold, consider buying a dust mask to wear over your nose and mouth. For about $16, a very good mask can be purchased from most medical supply stores (make sure it fits firmly around your face).
Heating vents can blow accumulated dust and debris throughout your home. Clean or replace filters in your furnace before turning your home heating system on. Pay special attention to any attached humidifiers. Placing a nonflammable filtering material (such as cheesecloth) over heating vents can help catch dust particles. Check and replace such homemade filters frequently.
Inspect the filters in any portable air cleaners you plan to use and clean or replace them as necessary. Running air cleaners at the highest setting during winter months can help reduce allergic reactions to dander and mold. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answer factsheet on, "Indoor Air Quality.")
Other Tips for the Holidays
If a live evergreen tree is a tradition you cannot live without, the following tips should help make this year's tree a treasure rather than trouble. Wipe the trunk thoroughly with a solution of luke warm water and diluted bleach (1 part bleach to 20 parts water) to eliminate any mold. Some evergreens, particularly junipers and cedar, may be pollinating even in winter look for a yellowish tinge on the trunk and needles. Before bringing the tree inside, use a leaf blower (in a well-ventilated area away from the house or garage) to remove visible pollen grains.
Artificial Christmas trees are suitable substitutes for live trees as long as they're not coated with sprayed-on "snow." Such additions (including pine-scented sprays or oils) can aggravate asthmatic or allergic symptoms in some people.
When visiting family or friends, be prepared for possible reactions to everything, from pets to food to perfume. Never leave home without the appropriate medication(s), equipment, and a written action plan so that the proper steps can be taken in case of an emergency.
Limit (or eliminate) scented candles, potpourri, air fresheners, plant arrangements and holiday baking with strong odors that can cause discomfort for people with asthma.
If you or another family member has moderate or severe asthma, ask your physician about the need for a flu shot. Your physician may recommend that everyone in the family be immunized to protect the more vulnerable family member (particularly if that member is a child with asthma or allergy).
Respiratory infections such as chicken pox, colds and the flu abound this time of year, and children are particularly susceptible. Children with asthma receiving regular steroid therapy should be carefully monitored, because chicken pox can be a serious illness for a child on steroids.
If asthma symptoms persist throughout the season, consider purchasing a peak flow meter to help monitor changes in the airways. You and your doctor can develop a written action plan for medication based on the meter's readings and keep it with you at all times. Highlight your physician's name and phone number for quick reference in case of an emergency. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answers fact sheet on, "Peak Flow Meters.")
At any time of the year, it's a good idea to develop a written asthma or allergy action plan, prepared with the help of your physician. This plan can be used to monitor symptoms and prevent attacks at home, work, school or on vacation.

PHILADELPHIA Once a month, Indian River Intermediate School Principal Brian A. Moore is a superhero.
Committed to helping students learn by having fun, the buildings principal of one week is instigating activities such as dressing up as the Avengers with other teachers for high-achieving math students.
As building principal, you have to be the lead learner, he said. Years ago, being a building principal was about managing a building and providing discipline. Now, its different than that.
Mr. Moore, previously the assistant principal, replaced Lana J. Taylor, who retired the last day of school before winter break. Kristen A. Freeman, a former West Carthage fourth-grade teacher, replaced him as assistant principal.
I hope they dont notice much of a change, Mr. Moore said about the students. Theyll miss Ms. Taylor, but she will never be forgotten.
Mr. Moore started his career in education at the district. With a bachelors degree in political science from SUNY Potsdam and a masters degree in counseling and human development from St. Lawrence University, Canton, he served as Indian River Middle Schools counselor for 10 years.
As he became interested in administrative work, he worked as dean of students at Evans Mills Primary for a year before becoming the intermediate schools assistant principal. He has worked at the intermediate school for the past two and a half years.
He also received a certificate of advanced graduate studies in educational leadership from the University of New England.
Taking Ms. Taylors previous job was more than just taking over her office.
Lana is an iconic administrator, and the last thing I would want to do is change the things she did so wonderfully, he said. In order to meet the challenge for our schools, we need to create an environment where everyone feels they can take on those challenges.
For teachers, some of the newest challenges include the professional performance review and the state Common Core initiative.
For a lot of our veteran teachers, they feel like first-year teachers again because theyve really had to look at how they do their job, he said.
The Common Core also means students have to boost their test scores. After finding that students were struggling with basic math skills, several teachers began dressing up as the Avengers once a month to reward classrooms that had the most Avenger minutes on their math calendar, he said.
As fifth-grade teacher Kyle C. Clark, who was dressed as Spider-Man, art teacher Timothy Lehman, dressed as the Hulk, and Mr. Moore as Captain America walked down the hall Friday, students passing by the three called out to them enthusiastically. Some even jokingly tried to reveal who the teachers were.
We all face challenges, Mr. Moore said. Its important to enjoy your job, not just for the kids, but for the staff, too.

15,000 crocodiles escaped from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in South Africa when the Limpopo River rose due to a stong storm:
Reportedly, 15,000 crocodiles escaped from an animal farm in South Africa Thursday. The animal escape took part during a period of heavy rain in the area. Ironically, sources say the owners actually are responsible for letting the crocodiles out.
According Fox News on Jan. 24, Rakwena Crocodile Farm owners had little choice when threats of rising waters from a storm surge forced them to open gates on the animal farm.
As the Limpopo River rose rapidly, the gates were open, which caused thousands of crocodiles to escape the animal enclosures.
Half have been re-captured. Where is Steve Irwin when you need him? (You may want to read of his daughter, Bindi Irwin, and her war with Hillary Clinton, of all people)
