Randall Miller appointed assistant professor of Christian ethics
PSR Dean Mary A. Tolbert has announced the appointment of Randall Miller as assistant professor of Christian ethics and social thought, effective July 1, 2010. Under his two-year, half-time appointment, Miller will teach two courses per year, including "Introduction to Ethics," and will be responsible for advising all PSR ethics MA and DMin students.
Miller received his PhD from the GTU in 2007 with a dissertation titled "Colored Justice: Situating Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Contextual Justice Ethic in Normative Discourse." At PSR, he has co-taught "The Bible, Queer Theory, and Ethics" with Mary Tolbert, and, while a graduate student at the GTU, served as a teaching assistant for three of Karen Lebacqz's courses.
His research interests are focused on "providing a deeper understanding of the conceptual frameworks of social justice and fostering a greater awareness of the links between faith, moral values, and politics."
Dr. Miller is currently a senior program officer at the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, headquartered in San Francisco, where he helps oversee the Fund's efforts to promote equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals, with a focus on grantmaking in gay-affirming faith communities. He will continue in that position during his appointment to PSR.
His numerous government advisory board positions have included the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Mental Health, and the Office of Minority Health. He also has served on the boards of the San Francisco LGBT Center, Project Inform, the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), and the African American Religious Roundtable for the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at PSR.

Written Answers - Pupil-Teacher Ratio.
Tuesday, 11 October 2005
Dáil Eireann Debate
495. Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Education and Science the action she will take to address the issue of pupil-teacher ratios in primary schools throughout County Kildare which currently have pupil-teacher ratios higher than the national average; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27978/05]
Minister for Education and Science (Ms Hanafin): Significant improvements have been made in the pupil teacher ratio in recent years. The pupil teacher ratio, which includes all the teachers including resource teachers, has fallen from 22.2:1 in the 1996-97 school year to 17.1:1, projected, in 2004-05. Over 4,500 additional teachers have been employed in our primary schools since 1997. In allocating teaching posts regard has been had to the commitments of the Government to reduce class size, tackle educational disadvantage and to provide additional resources for pupils with special educational needs. The additional teaching posts created since 1997 have been deployed to address these priorities.
With regard to providing for children with special educational needs, there are now over 5,000 teachers in our primary schools working directly with children with special needs, including those requiring learning support. This compares to under 1,500 in 1998. Indeed, one out of every five primary school teachers is now working specifically with children with special needs.
The Deputy will be aware of the new action plan for educational inclusion, DEIS, delivering equality of opportunity in schools, which I launched recently. This action plan will result in the reduction in class sizes of 24:1 at senior level and 20:1 at junior level in 150 primary schools serving communities with the highest concentrations of disadvantage. In line with the commitment in the programme for Government, class sizes will be reduced still further. The deployment of additional posts will be decided within the context of the overall policy that priority will be given to pupils with special needs, those from disadvantaged areas and junior classes.

State Sen. Patty Ritchie's re-election campaign sent a photograph of Jefferson County Sheriff John Burns attending her campaign office opening in Watertown.
It's a little bit of bipartisanship in a partisan world. Mrs. Ritchie is a Republican, while Sheriff Burns is a Democrat.
The two have been working together recently on overcrowding at the Jefferson County lockup. Mrs. Ritchie recently pitched the idea of housing Sheriff Burns' overflow inmates at the state correctional facility. It's a sensible idea, to be sure, and one that the state will probably never go for.
It's the first time I've seen the two together in Mrs. Ritchie's tenure; she has an election coming up on Nov. 6 against Democrat Amy Tresidder, an Oswego County legislator.

A baby shower is actually a delightful occasion to come collectively and share the happiness of the would-be-dad and mom.

On distributing invitations, make specific that you have crammed within the time, date, site, and even a map, so that the friends will not be acquiring any dilemmas pertaining to how they will go to the celebration.
You could also incorporate your baby shower decorating options for the get together video games. You could make little diapers out of blue cloth. Set a bit of mustard or other condiments resembling baby poo inside the middle of a diaper and pin them up all closed. Distribute the diapers to every and each of the guests as they enter the area. The visitor who receives the dirty diaper gets a prize.
Make Your Personal Personalized Favor Labels for a Wedding, Baby Shower, Or Other Gifts

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and former Jammu and Kashmir (J and K) chief minister, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, has congratulated BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) prime minister- designate Narendra Modi for his party's landslide victory in the Lok Sabha polls.
In a statement in Srinagar on Sunday, he expressed the hope that the Modi government would pursue an agenda which would be politically inclusive and developmentally intensive.
Both the BJP and the PDP have swept the recently concluded Lok Sabha polls, sharing three seats each in Jammu and Kashmir defeating their rivals -- the Congress and the National Conference (NC).

Children by the numbers
About 3 million children
Every 2 hours a baby dies in Azerbaijan
Quarter of a million young children (two in five) are anaemic
Around 400 juveniles in conflict with the law are registered each year in Azerbaijan
We are also working with the Government to put in place a system of justice for children to help not only children who are in conflict with the law (helping them to reform), but also victims and/or witnesses of crime, so they are not traumatized further by the interaction with police and court system. A new law on Juvenile Justice should be passed in the next session of Parliament.
Over one third of women under fifty was married as a child
Low awareness of young people on HIV and healthy life style/life skills and as a result, there are widespread risky behaviour patterns, so we are working to provide young people with the knowledge they need to protect themselves, and also (in the longer term) for places they can go, be heard, be constructive, and channel that immense adolescent energy for good. Most HIV cases are among intravenous drug users, and a recent study showed that 96% of drug users do not practice safe sex, and 46% share syringes and needles. The epidemic threatens to bloom in Azerbaijan even while it is being brought under control in many other countries.

Post office to honor fallen local CIA officer
WASHINGTON – Legislation has been introduced in the US Senate to rename the Post Office in Monroe in honor of Central Intelligence Agency Officer Gregg David Wenzel.
He was a Monroe native who was killed while serving in the CIA 11 years ago. After attending law school and working as a public defender, he joined the CIA after the September 11th attacks.
At the age of 33, he was killed while serving in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on July 9, 2003.
In June 2009, the CIA honored Wenzel by placing a star on their Memorial Wall at the CIA headquarters in Langley, VA.
Senator Charles Schumer, who along with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand introduced the legislation to rename the post office, called Wenzel "a great New Yorker and true American hero."

Gebelein Man
Gebelein, Egypt, Predynastic period, around 3500 BC
A naturally preserved mummy in a reconstructed pit-grave.
This man died more than five thousand years ago and was buried at the site of Gebelein, in Upper Egypt. The reconstruction of his grave illustrates the early Egyptian custom of placing the body in a contracted, foetal position, usually on the left side, with the head to the south, facing the west, the land of the dead where he would be reborn. Around him were all the things he might need for his afterlife, especially pottery to hold and serve food.
In the Predynastic period (4400-3100 BC), the time before the pharaohs, the dead were buried in shallow graves cut into the desert sand. The graves were often lined with reed mats, making them like a bed, and the body was covered with linen or skins and more mats, like a blanket, before the grave was refilled and perhaps topped by a mound of dirt. Contact with the hot dry sand naturally preserved the bodies because the sand absorbed the water that constitutes approximately 75% by weight of the human body. Bacteria cannot breed without moisture and as a result, the bodies frequently did not decay, but simply dried out. The body of this man is remarkably well-preserved, even down to his finger-nails and hair, which has probably faded with time.
Chance discoveries of these sand-dried mummies (for example, when a grave was disturbed by animals or robbers), may have promoted the belief that physical preservation of the body was necessary for the afterlife. This may have led the later Egyptians to develop means of artificial mummification after the introduction of coffins and deeper graves separated the body from the natural drying effects of the sand.
The objects that surrounded Gebelein Man in his original burial are unknown. On display is a selection of typical grave-goods from other graves of the middle Predynastic period (about 3500 BC), the time we believe he died. Attempts to date the body using Carbon 14 (the radiocarbon method) have so far been unsuccessful.

ELECTION PROFILE: Trinidad Aguirre: SMD 1
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Although jovial and laid-back, Trinidad Aguirre Jr. is not one to back away from making tough decisions.
"People will tell you I'm a really nice guy," he said, "But at the same time they tell you I have teeth."
With a résumé that shows more than six years of service with the Navy looking at top-secret cryptological messages and 30 years with Verizon, from which he retired as area president of the South/West division, Aguirre is accustomed to gathering all the facts before making a call.
"He's very direct," said Bob Housley, owner of Housley Communications and friend of Aguirre for more than 25 years. "You can negotiate with him, but you'd better have done your homework."
Sitting in his Mediterranean-style Bentwood house, the 61-year-old San Angeloan feels that having retired a couple years ago, he would be able to dedicate time and energy to do what he feels is needed as a council member.
Of recent years, a large portion of his time has been dedicated to his family, friends and occasional trips to the nearby golf course.
"He's still young; he's still got a lot of energy," Housley said. "He's a fine man, a family man with good moral character."
Living in the Single Member District with the smallest Hispanic population in the city, Aguirre feels that the residents of Single-Member District 1 are more concerned with aptitude than with ethnicity.
"To be honest, in the beginning, I did wonder about that," he said. "But in talking with people around the district I found that it has no bearing whatsoever. They are very committed to the issues on hand and finding the best person for the job."
In a district with one of the highest percentages of residents in managerial and professional positions, Aguirre added that the district had a tough and very organized group of residents.
"The people are very respectful, but at the same time demand respect," he said.
Having concluded his career in a position over thousands of employees and handling a $2 billion annual revenue, Aguirre said that when he interviewed as an entry-level technician 30 years prior, he told his interviewers he'd be president one day, and they laughed at him.
"I'm driven to succeed — regardless of what I start, I always try to excel," he said.
In 2009 HispanicBusiness Magazine, a California-based national publication, named Aguirre one of the top 100 most influential Hispanics in the nation.
As one of the people who watched Aguirre's progression, Housley said his drive and good management style make him a suitable candidate for a council seat.
"He took the bull by the horns and worked his way up," he said. "I think he would be an excellent person to deal with the problems we have."
Having seen Aguirre in action for the past two years at the Lake Nasworthy Homeowners' Association, Doug Massey, treasurer of the association, said Aguirre would make a great leader for SMD 1.
"He's not just a one-man committee. He held other people accountable and was a blessing to us," Massey said. "He rolls up his sleeves and gets to work."
Walking through a yard strewn with colorful glass pebbles rather than turf, one of Aguirre's evident priorities is water.
A facts and details man, Aguirre asserts that everything, from water relief to oil field-related development, boils down to budget and planning. His philosophy is to gather the data, evaluate and test it, then make the most appropriate decision.
"We have to make tough decisions. It may not please everyone," he said. "I'll please as many people as I can while protecting the city."
In a time when a council seat may face considerable challenges, Aguirre said his Navy experience taught him to handle stress well and not to react emotionally.
"You don't want to go out and pull the trigger. You'll never see me sweat," he said. "You learn to make good judgment under stress."

Lush Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb Review
When you're feeling tense and a bit tired you have to sit back, close your eyes, inhale a deep breath, and let it all out slowly in one long exhale.
I get those moments at work where I feel like the sky is falling down around me. Actually I get more of those moments on Musings of a Muse haha…server problems, issues within dashboard, cropping, uploading, answering comments…PHEW! It can get a little too much sometimes. It's worst than my actual job! When I'm a feel a little overwhelmed I just push my chair back from my desk, close my eyes, take a deep breath in, and slowly let it out as I count to ten.
I swear the on the beauty gods after that I just feel so much better. Sometimes you need a second to realign your universe by closing your others and simply taking a moment to breath!
The new, limited edition Lush Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb that launched with the Lush Mother's Day 2014 Collection actually gives you that relaxing moment in your bath!
The Lush Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb is actually scented not with one fragrance but two! Lush took the Inhale and Exhale Gorilla Perfumes and used them to create this dual sided bath bomb.
The pink half of the bomb is scented like Inhale with a light, melon-y scent. The blue half is scented like Exhale which has a strong and heavier scent of amber and sandalwood.
Lush creates the bomb in a way so that the Inhale portion sizzles up really quick in your bath but the Exhale part has a slower fizz that lasts a while. The result? A soft, soothing highly fragranced bath you can relax in!
For me the fragrance reminds me of simply Lush. You know that Lush store fragrance? The one that hits you in the face when you walk through the doors. This is either a scent you embrace or a scent you're overwhelmed by if you have a sensitive nose. Personally walking into a Lush store for me is like nirvana! I can simply sink into that scent and roll around in it. Lush Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb smells like everything Lush all rolled into one.
The bomb itself can be dropped into warm bath water. It'll sizzle, fizzle, and crack while coloring your bath water. The fragrance is long lasting on skin well after you leave your bath.
How terrible that this relaxing bath bomb is only available for a limited time sad sigh!
So grab your Lush Inhale Exhale Bath Bomb and take a deep breath, let it all out, and remember to relax and enjoy life!
This review contains a sample
product sent for consideration by PR.
Read my full disclosure statement here.
5/3/14 5:36 breyerchic04:
I got this and I really want the inhale scent to be available year round. Silly lush is bad at making my favorites be limited edition and then not bringing them back the next year. Bombardino and Chocolate Santa have been my faves.
5/3/14 16:05 Allison:
I love the idea of a bath bomb with two harmonious fragrances!

I put one of these in my car and it gives off enough scent to make me happy every time I get in the car. When the scent fades, I'll throw it the bath and hopefully the center portion will still smell great.

JBA 40-1666 Cat Back System.
Reviewed By Dale C (Rockford, TN) Reviewed for a 2014 Dodge Challenger —6/17/2015 4:41 PM
It's best to do as instructions recommend & have a quality muffler shop do install. I installed mine on my back in the driveway & ran into some fit issues. Had to add 4" to both tailpipes as they were too short. Fortunately I have a welder & experience fabricating exhaust early in my career so it wasn't too big of a deal. Also had to reposition front hangers to allow muffler & tailpipes to hang straight & level. Welded all connections. Looks perfect & sounds awesome!

Published Friday, October 26, 2012
As the important Nov. 6 General Election nears, all indications point to a huge voter turnout at the polls, maybe in the range of 70 percent.
Already, early voting numbers have been impressive, and chances are there will be lines at polling places throughout Coweta County on election day.
Early voting is in its second week with one more week ahead. Here is the schedule for the remainder of early voting in Coweta County: Today from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and next Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
No early voting is scheduled Saturday, Nov. 3 and no voting is scheduled Monday, Nov. 5. All polling places in the county will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 6 — General Election Day — from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
If you plan to vote early, remember the only early voting location in Coweta County is the voter registration office in the County Administration Building, 22 East Broad St., in downtown Newnan.
This week, we have noticed voters lining up outside the voter registration office entrance and the rather short line stretching up Broad Street. Wait times vary. During the early afternoon on Tuesday, the wait for early voting was less than 20 minutes. Sometimes it has been longer. No doubt, longer lines are expected on Saturday and next week. We suspect the early voting lines may still be shorter than lines you will encounter at your polling place on election day.
If you plan to vote early, know that the early voting operation this year has expanded space from previous years. There are more voting booths and the operation has been smooth. There is a separate early voting entrance for handicapped voters and for voters 75 years and older.
Because of the expected heavy turnout on election day, we again encourage voters to consider voting early. Don't forget you need a photo ID to vote.

12 Hip Readers Commented
I went to Michael's yesterday and the Christmas clearance was 80% off and I was still able to use my teacher discount. I think the 20% coupon may work on Christmas stuff as well.
I've never been able to use a coupon on holiday items because they're clearance, not sale.
But it might be because my michaels employees are not fiendly or nice at all. lol
I thought it was just me here in IN..but yes, they are not a friendly crowd @ michael's!!
I have a list, so I'll deal w/ the not nice folks & enjoy my 20% savings :) [trying it on the text option for the first time as well…hope they can handle it!]
Hoping that they have 80% off Christmas thingss & I can get that discount as well…
I work at Michaels and its corporate policy that coupons can't be used on clearance, the register doesn't allow the items to be discounted by the coupon, some holiday items ring up as sale prices and the coupon will work on them, but some items are put into the system as clearance by corp. and will not be discounted by the coupon. In fact we can not even use our employee discount on clearance or sale items, only regular price items that aren't excluded by the coupon policy. Hope this helps clarify.
The cashier said that the Christmas stuff was ringing up sale and not clearance. Mine was very friendly.
Mine was 80% off as well. I got cookie cutters for .19 each and treat bags for .39 for 15. Some of the dollar bin items were on sale for .25 each. Lots of great deals!
I can't find the coupon?
I got a bunch of awesome Discovery Kids toys 80% off a few days ago. The princess castle and boys medieval castle were $5.99 each, felt alphabet board was $5.99 and and a cardboard color in fort for $3.99 :)
Discovery Kids toys are also on clearance at CVS too! I got the Spaceship and world map for 5.00!
Nice all check the clearnace toys for the toy closet tomorrow. I dont shop on sunday
I scored enough of the Recollections Cubes to make an L shaped Craft desk. They were 40% off for the week and I was able to use the 20% off coupon. Can't wait to organize all my Scrapbook supplies
Boo. I just saw this today, a day late! I needed some yarn to start a new afghan.

"Histeria!" proves history can be fun
By Helen Lee, syndicated October 11, 1998
Many people might think history is dry, but a new animated show, "Warner Bros. Histeria!" aims to prove them wrong every weekday at 3:30 p.m. ET and at 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday mornings.
''We're trying to cover 35,000 years of human history in 65 hours,'' says Tom Reugger, the shows' creator and executive producer. ''We're not going to accomplish that, but we're going to try.''
Ruegger may be best known for producing the cartoon ''Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs,'' which tells about the Warner Bros. (and the Warner sister), three rambunctious cartoon siblings created in the 1930s and locked away in the WB lot's water tower because they were just too zany. Yakko, Wakko and Dot occasionally strayed into historical territory, tangling with the likes of Rasputin, Picasso, and Abraham Lincoln in past episodes.
But in ''Histeria!,'' Reugger is able to focus solely on events from the past, making topics like the Vikings and the French resistance interesting for children. From Confucius to the American Revolution and the top ten tyrants, anything is fair game.
''History hasn't been coopted yet. No one has really said, we're going to take the ball and run with history,'' Reugger explains. ''So we said, let's make a comedy series about it. I felt that on 'Animaniacs' we had some success with the Warner brothers meeting characters like Abe Lincoln. I thought, back then, that I know something about history. I've learned since then I know nothing."
''Histeria!'' is a cross between ''Saturday Night Live'' and ''Animaniacs,'' with comedy skits -- many including music – featuring repertory-style sketch comedy from an ensemble cast. Music includes catchy jingles like "The Invasion Song," which covers most of the famous military invasions. These songs are often satires, parodying everything from "The Brady Bunch" theme to full-scale Broadway production numbers.
''It's tons of work because it's a comedy show, but before we can even get into the comedy we have to start out with the facts. So it's a different process than with 'Animaniacs' or 'Tiny Toons,' where we had funny characters and put them into funny situations. We need to know things, research the facts, then we can start having fun with it,'' says Reugger.
To help its educational mission, ''Hysteria!'' boasts a cast of distinct personalities that introduce kids to historical events. There's even a guest host, usually a prominent figure from history like a Valley girl-inspired Joan of Arc. The half-hour show's regular characters include host Father Time, Fetch the dog, Miss Information, Toast, Pepper Mills, Cho-Cho, the World's Oldest Woman, Lucky Bob, network censor Linda Karaoke, Charity Bazaar, Big Fat Baby and Mr. Smartypants. Toast, the "contemporary burnout kid," just wants to chill out. Four kids, Froggo, Loud Kiddington, Charity Bazaar and Aka Pella, make up the show's "Greek chorus."
Loud Kid, the show's ''Town Crier,'' shouts his lines out in every episode. In fact, in one episode he heckles Abe Lincoln because he doesn't understand what the president is trying to say in his Gettysburg Address -- which irritates the president, but reveals handy information for the young viewer who doesn't know that "four score" means 20 years.< Three characters -- Froggo, Big Fat Baby and Loud Kid, are voiced respectively by Ruegger's sons Nathan, 14; Luke, 12; and Cody, 10. The three boys also provide the inspiration a few of the characters, as they did for the Warner brothers (and Dot) on ''Animaniacs.''
''Luke does baby sounds imitating our cat, and it's very odd and strange. Loud Kiddington's personality came from Cody because Cody has the tendency to be the loudest kid on Earth. Nathan, our oldest son, did the voice of Skippy squirrel [on 'Animaniacs']. But he's not Skippy anymore, he's a little man,'' Reugger says.
Early on, Father Time was meant to be in the spotlight, but the show's kid characters ended up being the lynchpin of ''Histeria!,'' according to Reugger. It's a fitting evolution for a program meant to educate young people, and yet entertain adults and teens as well.
''I'd really like to tell everyone around the world it's funny, that's why people will watch it,''Reugger says. ''That they pick up facts along the way will be the bonus. The FCC just wants us to say it's educational, but I don't think that's going to get kids in the door. It's a good family show because, like 'Animaniacs,' it has something for everyone.''

Oxymoron on crime deterrence-A A +A
Wednesday, July 9, 2014
WE ARE sated with news on criminals riding in tandem, plying their nefarious trade using a motorcycle whether it's on YouTube or CCTV footages on TV. But this time, I was an eyewitness to the real deal.
I saw it up close at four meters in the real world the other night, roughly at 8:45 p.m. I witnessed a lone motorcycle rider along Malakas Street in Diliman Central, Quezón City snatch the bag of a student reviewing for her architecture board exam.
Nothing hits in the gut than witnessing a crime scene and unable to identify a suspect or even get a plate number. The motorbike had no plate number and the rider had a crash helmet that made it hard to recognize the face.
The thief tried to snatch the victim's smartphone but she instinctively clutched it harder. In a split second, the criminal went for the bag in one deft motion and sped away.
I didn't have my cellphones with me so I asked the victim and her friend to call 117, the Filipino version of the USA's 911, to contact the police.
Except this is the Philippines, not the US. I gave an allowance of response time of 15 minutes, slower than the expected arrival.
The theory was that the rapid responses to 911 (or 117) calls, the shorter police travel time from assignment to arrival to the crime scene, the better the crime deterrence.
Conversely, the longer it takes the police to respond, the more crime there will be. In our case, it took a police car 40 minutes – almost forever! – from Station 10 in Kamuning to get to Malakas Street.
No wonder residents complained of similar incidents. One told of a teacher who was a victim of a motorcycle thief using the same modus operandi in Matatag Street. Mind you, there are several CCTVs in the community that captured the crime scenes.
A crime hotspot with several complaints and I can barely see any patrols.
No wonder criminals have a heyday. To think that I often stay in a hotel whenever I'm in the country's prime metropolis. Now I don't feel safe anymore.
The first law enforcer to pass by was a barangay police with his wife riding a motorcycle. We had to flag him down to apprise him of the crime incident. He radioed his home base to debrief his superior who we overheard said that at 30 minutes past the time of the crime there would be no chance to chase the criminal. Duh!
Frankly, I was unimpressed with the guy, however. If a law enforcer riding a motorcycle had no helmet on, what chance do crime victims have on the tanods conducting random and directed patrols on a hotspot?
To think that Diliman Central in Barangay Piña is positioned between Police Station 10 and the Quezón City Hall. Anyone would have thought the community would be crawling with law enforcers. No such luck.
At any rate, I joined the victim and her friend inside the patrol to help make a blotter report in Station 10. The desk forever said the last time they arrested a motorcycle rider was in 2009 when they captured a certain "Macmac," a former Shakey's delivery driver who decided on a career shift to professional criminal.
Lessons for the week: CCTVs do not deter crime. Another is to expect Philippine Standard Time in rapid response to 117 calls.

Editorial: Storm shelters as alternative-A A +A
Thursday, May 15, 2014
MONTHS after the northern tip of Cebu was devastated by super typhoon Yolanda, rehabilitation work continues. There is still no definite assessment, however, as to the adequacy of government efforts not only in rebuilding the affected communities but also in preparing these communities for the next weather disturbance.
Meanwhile, we have been hearing about politics rearing its head in some areas, hampering the distribution of assistance to the victims and funds for rehabilitation work.
In Daanbantayan, barangay captains that are either allied with the mayor or with the opposition have been engaged in a verbal war over the distribution of aid.
In Medellin town, the mayor, who is with the opposition, seems to be in a love-hate relationship with the governor. He criticized Capitol's supposed failure to deliver the needed assistance early on but recently gave it a plaque of appreciation for the financial help the town later got.
We take it, however, that officials of the other affected local government units are quietly doing their best to rebuild their areas. But what is apparent there is that they need not only assistance but also guidance from Capitol and even the national government.
One problem in terms of disaster preparedness, for example, is the implementation of government's no-build zone policy. This is particularly tricky in the province's northern tip where fishing is an important livelihood and a good number of people live near the shoreline.
Indeed, even the office of the presidential assistant for rehabilitation and recovery has admitted that the no-build zone policy "may be impractical for certain areas."
It is in this context that creativity should apply. Wherever the no-build zone policy is not applicable, government should shift to the construction of storm shelters like what Bangladesh built after it was devastated by a super typhoon in 1991.
These storm shelters, which should be built in such a way that they can accommodate people living in the surrounding areas and can withstand strong winds and storm surges, should be combined with a good storm warning system to be effective.

Geraint Thomas to lead Team Sky in next month's Tour of Britain
Young Brits Thomas, Swift, Dowsett and Kennaugh to line-up alongside seasoned Aussies Hayman and Rogers
Previous News
Geraint Thomas will lead Team Sky in this year's Tour of Britain, which starts in the Scottish Borders on Sunday 11 September. It will be the sixth year in a row that the former British champion has contested the race.
Thomas will be joined in the UCI ProTeam's provisional starting line-up by a trio of young British riders, Ben Swift, Alex Dowsett and Peter Kennaugh, while solid experience is provided in the shape of Australia's Mat Hayman and Michael Rogers.
Team Principal Dave Brailsford commented: "This is a strong and exciting team for the Tour of Britain. After a hugely successful season on the roads of Europe and beyond, it is really exciting to be racing in front of our home fans and we will be looking to repay the great support they have given the team all year.
"The squad features a great mix of young and experienced riders that will be well equipped to deal with the race's challenges. Team Sky was created to give British talent a chance at the elite end of racing and in Geraint, Ben, Alex and Peter we have four of this country's most exciting professionals. They have shown all season with their results that they can ride and compete with the world's best cyclists.
"Alongside them will be the hugely experienced Michael Rogers and Mathew Hayman – riders who have performed at Grand Tour level on numerous occasions. We have a really exciting team and can't wait for 11 September."
Thomas, who first rode the race as part of the Great Britain squad in 2006 and in the colours of Barloworld for the following three seasons, promised British fans that the team planned to "put on a good show" on home roads as a means of thanking them for their support this year.
"The Tour of Britain is a great race and this will be my sixth appearance," he said. "It is always exciting to ride in front of our home fans. The support we have had on the road all year has been amazing and has played a big part in the success we have achieved as a team. We can't wait to put on a good show for them. It's going to be a great week of racing."
Swift, who last month completed his first Tour de France and who has won stages of races including he Tour Down Under and Tour of California, is returning to the race where he got his first pro win, prior to his controversial move from Katusha.
"I am looking forward to racing my home Tour again particularly as it is where I secured my first professional win in 2009," said the Yorkshireman.
"There will be some tough opposition this year with a number of star riders appearing, but we have a really exciting team with a real depth to it. The team is riding well and full of confidence and we can't wait to get going."
Dowsett and Rogers, meanwhile, will be expected to figure strongly in the individual time trial that precedes the circuit race on the final day in London, while Hayman will use his experience to act as the squad's road captain.
Thomas has just been on Sky talking and in the preview clip the team were training with a lad from Saxo Bank - anyone know if they are signing anyone from there ?
There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.

Haven't seen the clip, but at a guess that Saxo Bank rider might well be Johnny Bellis?
Not sure how his recovery is progressing but if he is getting back to where he was before his accident it could be a good move for him and Sky if he went there.
Having said that, there's nothing unusual in riders from different teams training together, and in the case of GB riders many will have come up through the Academy together.

J.B. Thomas and Sons Hardware Store's walls are up again in Iva
IVA, S.C. - The new look of the J.B. Thomas and Sons Hardware Store is taking shape in Iva.
Metal walls are up and steel beams have been installed — all giving new life to the store after it was gutted by fire in April. A lot of the work done so far has been completed by volunteers, said Walt Thomas, who runs the store with his wife, Helen, and their two sons.
"It's unreal," Mr. Thomas said. "Everybody has been real good to do what they've done."
Residents have volunteered their time to help with the construction. Others have donated things such as laptop computers or other items the Thomas family can use in the store once it reopens. And money has come in from local churches and regular customers from all over the Upstate and northeast Georgia, Mr. Thomas said.
Mr. Thomas, or Mr. Walt as most in this mill town call him, said he is not sure how much money has been donated in all. But so far, donations have paid for a good bit of the construction.
In the meantime, the Thomas family has set up trailers as temporary stores across the street from the construction site. Those trailers are full of some hardware items they are selling to keep the business running, Mr. Thomas said.
An April 28 fire, which brought out firefighters from nine stations, destroyed the wood-framed building that had been a landmark in Iva since 1886. Over the years the building had served as everything from a cotton gin to a general farm store to a hardware store. Mr. Thomas, now 84, started working at the store as a young man, alongside his father, John B. Thomas, in 1949.
The new store will be metal instead of a wood. It will have a concrete floor. But it will be the same size as the old store, 4,800 square feet, Mr. Thomas said.
The building is up, but a lot of work remains on the inside, Mr. Thomas said.
"I am not anticipating it to be earlier than November," he said. "There's a lot of work to be done yet."

ADAMS CENTER Hi-Lite Airfield Services will receive more than $7.1 million in loans through the U.S. Department of Agricultures Rural Development program to buy new equipment and create up to 10 jobs, Rep. William L. Owens announced Wednesday.
The Adams Center-based company, which offers airfield maintenance services across the U.S. and internationally, will buy two large water blasters and other equipment that will help it expand operations, CEO John McNeely said in a release.
With this loan, we expect we will be able to create between eight and 10 local jobs in the course of the next year, he said.
Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, called the loans smart investments that will help grow the local economy.
This companys story shows why investing in small businesses is one of the best ways the government helps the private sector, he said. I look forward to working with Hi-Lite as the company grows.
The company has offices in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, with international locations in Canada, Ecuador and the United Arab Emirates.

It is possible to reconfigure the unit to be like one of the old small graphic arts Xrite densitometers that were used with light tables. The evenness of illumination on the light table was always an issue with these 'pocket densitometers'.
In this unit it is possible to mount the photodiode to the back of the case. The metering would be done on a light table, as with the old graphic arts densitometers. A cradle or spotting arm would define the area to be measured and the meter would then swing down on the arm or nestle into the cradle to take the measurement.

Search WorldCat, the MJC Library catalog, to discover if the Library has your text book or other course materials on reserve.
|Your MJC ID is your library card. To check out materials you'll need to have either your MJC ID, state driver's license, or other state-issued identification. If you don't have your MJC ID we'll need for you to give us your W number in addition to presenting your alternate identification card.
You can get your free MJC ID card from the Student Development and Campus Life office. Click here for more details on getting your student ID card.
The MJC Library has many textbooks and other materials on reserve in both the East and West Campus branches. Most check out for two hours and must remain in the library, but some have loan periods of 1, 3, or 7 days. To find out if we have what you need, do a reserve search. Go to WorldCat@MJC, hover over the Search link at the top, then click on Course Reserves, as shown below.
The search box allows you to search reserve items or courses. In the box below, I entered "humanities" to find any course with the word "humanities" in the title or in the humanities department. I only want courses that are active this semester, so I did not check the box to include inactive courses.
There are 11 results; the first three are displayed below. The first result is for HUMAN 101: Introduction to the Humanities. Dr. Redwing has two items on reserve on East Campus. To see them, click the title of the course.
Dr. Redwing's items are shown below. You can see the year each book was published, but not the edition. To see the edition, click on the title.
In this case, we have the "brief edition" of the second item. Often you will see "2nd ed.," "3rd ed.," etc. If you see no edition statement, it is the first edition. Also check the Notes field to the right of the call number for an edition. (Note: the "View all editions and formats" link can show you other editions in print, but MJC won't necessarily have them.) You can see this item is available on East Campus and can be borrowed for two hours. Reserve materials are kept behind the checkout desk. To request this book, tell our staff the title of the book and the call number (PC Sayre); they will get it for you.
You can also search in courses by instructor name.
And you can search in courses by course name if you use the same abbreviation as on your schedule.
Or you can search in reserve items, instead, and search for keywords in the item's title.
Check your course syllabus for this information.

This commercial is a big part of why Anti-Hero is undeniably one of the sickest brands in skateboarding. All these web videos, 30 second park clips and whatever else that flood our news feed daily are cool, but it's stuff like this that makes us laugh and remember that there is sometimes more to skateboarding than actually skateboarding. Just have fun!

Autism Devotion: What Love Is
Love is...
...offering your mommy a sniff and rub of her face on your red Sleep Sack because it's what you LOVE to do and, well, you are going to allow Mommy to have some of that sensory goodness, too.
...a smile and a flash of fleeting eye contact that makes a connection and says in a way that words do not suffice - "I'm happy. I'm content. I'm free, and you're a part of all of that."
...grabbing your favorite book, backing up and plopping down in your Mommy's lap, and letting her read to you before nap time when you never did before. It's leaning your head back against Mommy's chest in a way that says "You make me feel at home."
...playing with magnetic letters, announcing each letter out loud - "A!" - and having Mommy repeat it all back to you and continuing that dialogue of echolalia that we engage in every day because - well - that's the way that you and Mommy "converse". It may not seem like a "conversation" in the conventional way, but Mommy could care less because you speak, she repeats, and you smile because she knows that's what you wanted. You wanted her voice to be a part of the scripting, too.
...playing your iPad, climbing up on the couch, and letting Mommy slide beside you on the seat. It's then leaning your head against Mommy's arm as she gently wraps her arm around you so as not to scare you off. It's sitting there in that embrace in which time seems to stand still and you feel so special.
...a simple word - "UP!" - because you take comfort in the arms of someone whose arms are always there to comfort you when you want them.
...the simplest of phrases - "More Mommy!" - that conveys such a simple meaning, "You are important. I want you here with me."
Because while we as a society seem to define "Love" as the expression of verbal "I love you"s, hugs, and kisses, and while society might say that my child doesn't feel love and empathy and compassion, I can tell you that the little moments speak the volumes that his voice cannot. You see, my son knows the secret that the rest of us do not. Love isn't the conventional expressions. Love is the feeling we give others. Love is the world being a better place for someone else's presence. Love is a the feeling of home, but surrounding a person.
Love is simply being for my boy. He is love.

Tears are streaming down my cheeks...our sons are so much alike. :) Amazing post.ReplyDelete
Hi, I found you through Love that Max. I'm trying to compile a list of special-needs blogs so that people can find them easily. Would you consider adding your blog to http://boynamedsilas.blogspot.com/p/start-linkytools-script-srchttpwww.html? Hopefully it can help get you more traffic as well. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Well, I started with the most recent entry and have read backwards to here (I've always wished there was a function to put blogs in oldest to newest post order, so it could be read more like a book… but I seriously digress). I really enjoy your writing and the wide range of topics. I'm a single father of an 11-year old son with CP living rurally just outside of Austin, TX. My having full custody is somewhat new and I've decided that a blog tracking our trials and tribulations is in order. But, of course, before I start, I have to read every blog ever written by anyone and everyone in the history of the internet. Apparently, that's how I roll. Again, just stopping by, but I would like to recommend (if you don't already know about it) Cerebral Palsy Family Network. Despite being hosted by CP Family, their "survival guide" is one of the most comprehensive resources for parents of any special needs kids that I've ever seen. It's literally for everything. Check it out if you have a moment. And if you know someone that should be listed, but isn't, anyone can create new listings. OK, moving on now. I will bookmark this blog and check back often. Thanks again.ReplyDelete
Thus reminds me of the "Five Love Languages" books by Gary Chapmans, where he talks about the different ways different individuals express their love.ReplyDelete

Imagine opening one palm full of conventional, store bought seeds, and the other with Humble Seeds. Would you be able to spot the difference? Most probably not. But is investing in Humble Seeds worth it? Absolutely! While your two hands full of seed may look the same, only conventional leaves the buyer with numerous unanswered questions: For starters….
*How long were the seeds in the store for?
*Were they exposed to the sun, rain and other elements?
*Were they seeds genetically modified?
*Or perhaps inoculated with pesticides?
*What other chemicals were these seeds treated with?
*Is there a possibility that these seeds were hybrid or pollinated in a controlled environment, and are now unable to regenerate a seed for future planting?
In essence, life is like a package of store bought seeds, you never know what you're going to get. We soon begin to realize that all seeds are not alike.

*Fresher herbs, fruit, and vegetables with more nutritional value than their store-bought counterparts.
*FDA food-safe containers, along with our re-sealable Mylar® bags, keep seeds fresh in between plantings, allowing you to plant now or later.
*Seed without the direct exposure to chemicals
*An opportunity to save money by purchasing seeds in bulk and growing your own foods.
*More family engagement around a backyard experience, and an opportunity to educate children on the importance of gardening for a sustainable way of living.
*A chance to learn how to garden using organic growing practices.
*An opportunity to sustain yourself with garden know-how in case future disasters deplete our nation's food supplies.
*Open-pollinated seeds, meaning all seeds are pollinated the way nature intended.
*We offer our seeds in themed, bundled kits. When you purchase a garden kit, you get to choose from a variety of carefully themed packages that are convenient and wonderful for busy lifestyles.

YWCA Knoxville announces Tribute to Women finalists
For the 29th year, the YWCA will honor outstanding women in the community through its Tribute to Women celebration. The award ceremony will be Aug. 15 at the Historic Bijou Theatre. The event emphasizes dedication to Equality, Empowerment, and Transformation by all 21 finalists. These themes reflect the mission of the YWCA, which is to eliminate racism, empower women, and create peace, justice, dignity, and freedom for all.
Six honorees will be announced at the event in August. The finalists announced today represent nominations from nine counties of East Tennessee.
The Tribute to Women event will also induct Joan Cronan into the Lifetime Achievement listing. Cronan, a native of Opelousas, La., came to Knoxville in 1968 to teach at the University of Tennessee and coach women's basketball. After serving as athletics director, coach, and professor at the College of Charleston from 1973 to 1983, she and her family returned to East Tennessee in 1983 to make Knoxville their permanent home. She has forged a highly decorated career in collegiate athletics as an administrator and advocate for student-athletes. Taking over as women's athletics director at UT in 1983, she expanded the program from seven to 11 sports, helped the department increase annual giving from $75,000 to $2 million per year and oversaw a budget that grew from $1.2 million to $5.2 million. Under her watch, Pat Summitt and the Lady Vol basketball team became the winningest program in the history of the game, claiming eight NCAA National Championships. The women's track and field team also captured NCAA titles, winning indoor titles in 2005 and 2009. She holds the distinction of becoming the first female athletics director for the entire department at UT when she served as Interim Vice Chancellor and Athletics Director in 2011.
Cronan joins 11 other Lifetime Achievement honorees: Helen Ashe, Donna Cobble, Pam Fansler, Sarah Moore Greene, Mary Lou Horner, Debra London, Pat Summitt, Mintha Roach, Barbara Reid, Liane Russell and Ellen Turner. Each has broken barriers, been a "first" in East Tennessee, and opened the door for the women who followed.

North Korea affirmed its commitment to nuclear weapons in a statement that attacked South Korea's leader, fueling skepticism over the regime's claim it wants to return to dialogue over its atomic program.
The north is demonstrating its might as a "military power and nuclear weapons state envied by world people and feared by enemies," the official Korea Central News Agency said May 25. The rest of the statement was directed at South Korean President Park Geun Hye, saying she had behaved "coquettishly" and "kicked up confrontation hysteria."
The statement came after the North's envoy, Choe Ryong Hae, told Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 24 his country wants to find ways to resolve its conflicts via talks. The nuclear affirmation signals the North won't abandon weapons development, a condition the U.S. has set for the resumption of six-party talks that collapsed in 2008.
"In order for the six-nation talks to restart, North Korea will need to internally shift and rejig its policy stance," Yoo Ho Yeol, a North Korean professor at Korea University in Seoul, said by phone yesterday. "The North has de facto rejected the condition by issuing a statement the day after Choe met Xi."
Tensions with the North flared after it defied United Nations sanctions with a rocket launch in December and a nuclear test in February. It later threatened pre-emptive nuclear strikes against the U.S. and South Korea.
Korea's benchmark Kospi stocks index added 0.3 percent as of 10:41 a.m. in Seoul, with gains in companies including LG Electronics Inc. (066570) The won was steady against the U.S. dollar at 1,126.13 after declining for a third week.
Accept Advice
As the North's chief political and economic patron, China has come under pressure to rein in Kim Jong Un's regime. In a statement about Choe's meeting with another top Chinese official in Beijing on May 23, the official Xinhua News Agency said the North "is willing to accept advice from the Chinese side and carry out dialogue."
The May 25 KCNA statement made no mention of Choe's visit to China or his remarks. Instead it criticized Park, saying she didn't understand the North's strategy of protecting itself against U.S. blackmail and aggression.
"She had better buckle down to grasping the level of its military preparedness before learning how to change her skirt into trousers and change her civilian dress into a military uniform," KCNA said in the statement.
South Korea today expressed its regret at KCNA's comments on Park. "North Korea should exercise restraint in behavior and word to improve the relationship" between the North and South, Unification Ministry spokesman Kim Hyung Suk said in a briefing.
Xi is due to meet U.S. President Barack Obama in California next month in their first face-to-face talks since China's power transition ended in March. Secretary of State John Kerry met last month in Beijing with officials including Xi and said afterward China is "very serious" about trying to bring North Korea in line.
