Washington, DC, July 7, 2009. The Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) has
stimulated significant advances in the effort to end sexual violence in detention,
particularly with the recent release of binding national standards addressing this
type of abuse. Despite such progress, however, further action is needed to ensure
inmate safety.
At a hearing tomorrow, July 8, before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime,
Terrorism, and Homeland Security, JDI will call on Congress to take further action
in protecting inmates from sexual abuse, by amending the Prison Litigation Reform
Act and by ensuring that the standards developed under PREA are ratified swiftly
and without being diluted.
JDI East Coast Program Director Melissa Rothstein will testify, along with the Chairman
of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton;
Lisa Freeman, attorney with the Prisoners Rights Project of the Legal Aid Society
of New York; Sean Kenyon, partner at Hoeppner, Wagner & Evans LLP; and the Director
of the South Carolina Department of Corrections, Jon Ozmint.
The hearing will take place at 3:00 p.m. in room 2141 of the Rayburn House Office

Information Processing Group
The mission of the Information Processing Group is to provide leadership and expertise in information theory, coding theory, and communications systems, in line with the missions of JPL and NASA. Our work ranges from fundamental research on performance limits to practical details of infusing and supporting our technology on flight missions.
The group conducts research and development in the following broad areas:
- Channel coding. Our goal is to design low complexity forward error correcting codes that have performance near the Shannon limit. We led the effort to standardize a family of turbo codes for deep space communications. We are currently developing low density parity check codes, which may have even lower complexity. We also have renewed an interest in coding for optical channels.
- Data compression. We have recently developed a progressive wavelet image compression algorithm, ICER, which has been implemented as the compression technology for Mars Exploration Rover. We are currently investigating techniques for compressing hyperspectral image data.
- Modulation. The desire for higher data rates is leading to spectral crowding, especially at X-band. We are investigating a number of power efficient, spectrally efficient coded modulation schemes to solve this problem, and we are active participants in related standards organizations.
- Systems analysis. We provide expertise in the end-to-end performance of communications systems, including analysis of statistical channel models, link continuity, radio losses, and weather prediction.
We also consult with current or planned NASA missions, and sometimes non-NASA projects, on these topics when critical issues arise. We sometimes play a role in the hardware development and implementation of channel decoders and data compressors.
The Information Processing Group dates to 1960, and includes a number of prominent former members. Developing and analyzing channel codes for the Deep Space Network has been a staple of the group from the beginning.
Shannon Award
Robert McEliece, a longtime member, supervisor, and consultant in the Information Processing Group has been awarded the 2004 Claude E. Shannon Award, the highest honor accorded by the Information Theory Society of the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers. The Shannon Award has been instituted to honor consistent and profound contributions to the field of information theory. Each Shannon Award winner is expected to present a Shannon Lecture at the following IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory.

Final Yellowstone Winter Visitation Plan Released
|October 22, 2013

Kati Schmidt, Senior Media Relations Manager, National Parks Conservation Association: 415.728.0840; Mobile: 415.847.1768

Final Yellowstone Winter Visitation Plan Released
National Park Service final winter use regulation guarantees a cleaner, quieter national park
Bozeman, MT -- Today, the National Park Service announced its final regulation governing snowmobile and snowcoach use in Yellowstone National Park. The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) praised Superintendent Daniel Wenk and his staff for taking the time to actively engage the public and subsequently craft a proposal that significantly reduces air and noise pollution --finally providing Yellowstone with a truly cleaner and quieter winter season.
"Yellowstone National Park deserves the best protection available and should be a place where the National Park Service sets the strongest standards for pollution, noise, and visitor experiences," said Theresa Pierno, acting President of NPCA. "We are pleased with the winter use regulation released today and commend Superintendent Wenk and the National Park Service for their tireless work to find a resolution to this longstanding issue."
Yellowstone lost control over snowmobile use by the 1990s. Over the last decade, healthier winter conditions benefitting visitors and wildlife have prevailed in the park. Many visitors now come to Yellowstone in winter because of opportunities to experience and learn about its wonders without intrusive exhaust and noise from snowmobile traffic.
Under this new rule, vehicle traffic will increase from current conditions, but manufacturers and operators will be required to significantly cut noise and carbon monoxide emissions in order to operate snowmobiles and snowcoaches in the park.
"These are crucial requirements, particularly given the recent trend of noisier and dirtier park-approved snowmobiles," said Tim Stevens, Regional Director for NPCA's Northern Rockies office. "Reduced noise and carbon monoxide emissions coupled with travel at lower top speeds will better protect public safety, wildlife and visitor opportunities to enjoy the sounds of nature in Yellowstone."
"Yellowstone is an iconic piece of America. The public has overwhelmingly called for its best protection over the last two decades," said Kristen Brengel, NPCA's Senior Director of Legislation and Policy. "This plan has come a long way and we believe it will provide the level of protection that Yellowstone deserves."
Key elements of Yellowstone's final rule on snowmobile and snowcoaches:
- In 2015 and 2016, strict Best Available Technology (emissions and noise) standards for snowmobiles and snowcoaches, respectively, will be mandatory;
- Explicitly states there will be no growth in the daily number of non-commercially-guided snowmobile groups;
- Reiterates that under potential adaptive management changes, "no more than 50 transportation events each day may be comprised of snowmobiles;" and
- Sets maximum speed limits of 35 mph for snowmobiles and 25 mph for snowcoaches.
While the plan will certainly result in a cleaner, quieter Yellowstone National Park during the winter season, there are nonetheless some parts that continue to trouble NPCA, including its insistence on keeping the unsafe east entrance open in the winter season and a new move to permit non-commercially guided snowmobile trips.
"NPCA will continue to seek improvements in winter use management as the plan is implemented. Those concerns aside, after 16 years of studies, meetings and public engagement, NPCA congratulates the National Park Service on a winter use plan that significantly improves the health of our nation's first national park," said Stevens.

While the U.S. is in economic turmoil, many hard-working Americans must forgo vacation to keep their businesses up and running. Meanwhile, 7.9% of Americans don't have jobs from which to take vacation. Vacation is a luxury that is earned. Yet, in just a few days, Congress will take off for the holidays— likely 4 to 5 weeks until they reconvene. If the fiscal cliff is still looming, this is unacceptable.
No matter what party line you're on, you may have a hard time ringing in the New Year with confetti and cheer when you are bound to pay on average $2,200 in taxes more next year.
While it may have a hokey name, the fiscal cliff is real, and it will affect you. For those of you losing homes to foreclosures and short sales, you will owe thousands of tax dollars on the loss (if Mortgage Forgiveness Relief Act not renewed). Students will lose their tax breaks. Parents won't be able to claim their children 19-23 as dependents anymore. Doctors will be paid 30% less from Medicare. And, there's much more.
"In all, according to an analysis by J.P. Morgan economist Michael Feroli, $280 billion would be pulled out of the economy by the sunsetting of the Bush tax cuts; $125 million from the expiration of the Obama payroll-tax holiday; $40 million from the expiration of emergency unemployment benefits; and $98 billion from Budget Control Act spending cuts." [WSJ]
Please sign this petition to stop Congress from taking an obscenely long holiday vacation if they cannot come to agreement to prevent the fiscal cliff.
Congress: Negotiate. Put it in writing. Sign. Do your job.

Fall TV Pilots: The Michael J. Fox Show
Title: The Michael J. Fox Show
Network - Day - Time: NBC - Thursday - 8 PM
Brief Plot Synopsis: Michael J. Fox is Michael Henry, an award-winning news anchor who left is job due to his struggle with Parkinson's. After spending too much time at home annoying his family with desired togetherness, he is convinced to go back to his job reporting at NBC. His Parkinson's is a big part of the show and how he and his family have been dealing with it.
Was it sad at all though? Actually no. The whole thing is done rather tastefully and Fox is good at poking fun at his ailment.
New Idea Or Retread? Well, it is your basic domestic/situational comedy - marriage issues, parental concerns, a kooky, self-indulgent sister-in-law, the usual stock characters. A major plot point of the show, however, is Mike's illness, which is not something you find often in a sitcom.
Who's The Audience? If you are a Fox fan, this show is right up your alley, especially if you've had your fingers crossed that he would have a triumphant comeback. Any sitcom enthusiast should enjoy it. If you really missed those Today Show cameos on 30 Rock (Matt and Al have already made appearances), you are in for a treat.
Will You Watch It Again? Maybe. I did laugh out loud on more than three occasions. Fox is adorable and wonderful as always. His entire family is also quite funny. Betsy Brandt, who plays his wife, does comedy well and their children are quirky and weird - in a good way. It also has the advantage of coming on after Parks and Rec.
Odds Of Lasting the Season: 95 percent. Aside from the fact that the pilot was solid, it's Michael J. Fox and his comeback story is solid gold. I have a feeling that even if the ratings aren't as stellar as NBC would like them to be. 1. They have basically nothing else. 2. It's Michael J. Fox.

The Fifth Estate | Mar 14, 2014 | 1:09
Dead Enough (Promo)
It's a question you would think medical science would have answered long ago – when are you dead? But in "Dead Enough" the fifth estate explores how the standards for when and how people are declared dead can vary from province to province and even from hospital to hospital. Bob McKeown looks at how, in the rush to meet the need for life-saving organ transplants, some doctors are worried that we may be pushing the ethical boundaries.

I love this baby product, it smells great and no chemicals used.Kids love it too
This product has nice smell,it is not to hard for the skin.This is the best soap for kids who have sensitive skin.I recommend this product to every kid.
The product is great for babies, very smooth and the scent smell really good. I love this scent on my son's skin! The lavender scent is much milder and coupled with the Baby Magic Lavender Lotion is perfect for my child. He likes use them daily. His skin is moisturized, soft and the mild scent lingers throughout the day.
this is a good product and worth the money
"I have tried almost a dozen natural baby washes and this wins my vote. The scent leaves baby skin smelling delicately of orange sherbet and 'clean'. To my amazement it also leaves even my daughter's long hair soft. This wash isn't as 'sudsy' as I would like, but it leaves skin soft, not sticky like some soaps. Recommended!"

We're starting to worry about Raphael Saadiq.
The talented musician, former Tony! Toni! Toné! frontman and superstar producer should be punctuating his every statement with an exclamation point. He should be ecstatic. He's working with legends. His new album, Stone Rollin', is another critical smash, scoring raves from critics all over. It even debuted in the top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart with its limited release in March.
But from the way dude talks during a phone interview one Monday afternoon, it sounds like he hasn't accomplished much. Maybe he was having an off-day, or maybe he was tired of fielding questions. But judging his curt, indifferent tone, we wondered if he hasn't grown bored with it all.
You wouldn't expect this tone from a man who was just seen several months ago at the Grammys, running and jumping around the stage, playing guitar as he and Mick Jagger (!) performed a tribute number in memory of the late soul singer Solomon Burke.
However, Saadiq talks about the event as though shit like that happens to him every day. "I just got a phone call from Mick one day, and we talked about it," he says, adding that Jagger got a hold of him through a mutual colleague. "We just got together and rehearsed one day, and then, we did it the next day."
Saadiq says friends who saw him perform that night were more enthused about the experience than he was. However, for the 45-year-old Saadiq, a man who has collaborated with D'Angelo, Whitney Houston, Earth, Wind and Fire, and the Bee Gees, this shit does happen to him every day.
This may explain the aesthetic shift he took with Rollin'. While his last solo effort, 2008's The Way I See It, saw him doing nostalgic songs that were reminiscent of the classic, Motown soul of the early '60s, Rollin' has him leaping back a few years further, going for a more charged, rock-and-soul feel, tilting toward a '50s-era, Chess Records-ish sound.
"I just wanted to change it up a lot—just move forward," he says. "I can't stay in the same spot I was [at] with the last record. So, I think it was a very good departure from where I was at. It's a different album, but the same time, it's classic."
Saadiq worked with some soul vets on Rollin'. Motown great Paul Riser did the string arrangements on several songs, while revered session guitarist and card-carrying Funk Brother Wah Wah Watson did his thing on one track. For the final, bonus track, he collaborated with famed Sly and the Family Stone bassist Larry Graham. Some might see this as the Oakland, Calif.,-born Saadiq paying tribute to the seminal, Bay Area rock/soul outfit whose music was obviously a source of inspiration for most of his career. But, Saadiq insists, much like the Jagger affair, it just happened.
"He was hanging out at the studio one day," he says. "Next thing you know, we're doing a song together."
With Saadiq getting a lot of acclaim for creating music that pays tribute to the groundbreaking soul music of yesteryear, it wasn't much of a surprise seeing R. Kelly follow suit and coming out with Love Letter, that respectfully retro album of his from last December. So, was Saadiq kinda peeved that Kells looked like he was copping his style, right down to the mod suit-and-tie wardrobe and Buddy Holly specs?
Just as you'd expect, Saadiq took it all in stride. "He's a great songwriter," he admits. "Of course, everybody called me and said 'R. Kelly is wearing glasses and ties,' and of course he probably got it from me. But, before me, there were a lot of people wearing it. I was just the last one doing it. But I was flattered, actually. If it makes people pull up their pants and stop sagging and wear a suit and tie, then I'm flattered."
Saadiq seems to prefer to let his work speak for him rather than just talking about it. It appears he's gotten to that point in his career where he knows exactly what he wants to accomplish, and people will appreciate what he has to offer.
Says Saadiq, "I just do what I want, what I like to do. And once you see people paying attention to it, you just kinda go like, 'Wow, you should just kinda go with your gut feeling all the time.' It's a confirmation of what you love to do ... When you see people following it, you know that works."
It looks like dude is gonna be OK after all.
Raphael Saadiq performs Thurs., May 26, 8:30pm. $25. Electric Factory, 421 N. Seventh St. 215.627.1332. livenation.com

Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann and Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory last year announced a committee to recommend sharing services between the county and the city. The idea dissolved in a volley of letters last week.
- Filed Under
In The Enquirer's boardroom about a year ago (Oct, 25, 2011, to be precise), Mayor Mark Mallory and Hamilton County Board of Commissioners President Greg Hartmann announced a committee that would work on streamlining the operations of the two largest governments in the region - Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Three long-time business leaders with previous civic experience would lead the committee, which would look for ways to eliminate overlapping services and save taxpayer dollars.
The occasion was recorded on video as Mallory promised a new era of city-county cooperation in the name of more efficient government.
"This is one of the many things I expect us to continue to work on over the next several years," Mallory said to Hartmann.
"It's not every day that you get the mayor of our great city and the president of the Hamilton County commissioners coming over to talk about any particular issue," Mallory said.
Turns out it's not ANY day you get the two of them talking about ANYthing.
Nearly a year later, with no progress visible, Hartmann last week took the unusual step of going public with his frustration. He sent a three-page letter to Mallory, with copies to Cincinnati City Council members and the other two county commissioners. He accused Mallory of "inaction" and of failing to respond to several of Hartmann's personal efforts to meet.
The leaders of the two largest governments in the region never talk to each other, it seems. That would be disturbing in the best of times. In this time of growing budget deficits, it's malpractice.
Cincinnati is facing a deficit of $34 million next year.
Hamilton County, a shortfall of $20 million.
Both have wrestled with deficits for five years and have already cut hundreds of jobs.
We wonder what else it might take for Mallory to take up Hartmann's plea to act.
Hartmann says his staff has repeatedly contacted Mallory's office to get a meeting on shared services, but has received no response.
We know the feeling. Mallory hasn't returned repeated Enquirer calls to talk about it either.
On Friday afternoon, Mallory sent out a letter letting it be known he was done with the idea.
"For a variety of reasons, I no longer believe that the City County Shared Services Committee is in the best interest of the citizens of the City of Cincinnati," he wrote.
So an initiative that promised real progress on making government more efficient has been stonewalled.
The tipping point was a new city policy for the Metropolitan Sewer District that gives an advantage to Cincinnati businesses and residents when it comes to MSD hiring and contract work. County officials see that as a hardball move to protect city interests at the expense of residents and businesses outside the city limits. The sewer district could actually be an example of a city-county shared service. Hamilton County owns it. The city of Cincinnati operates it. But Cincinnati's move to shut out county businesses is just the latest impediment, and it looks like a lawsuit is on the way.
For the leaders of the two largest governments in the region to fail to regularly communicate is inexcusable. It doesn't serve the public .
It's a short walk of seven city blocks between Cincinnati City Hall and the Hamilton County Administration Building. There's at least two coffee shops and 16 decent restaurants in between where they could relax and talk about things. You know ... like saving our community from financial ruin.
They could start small. All that's on the table at this point is forming a committee, putting up a little money to fund it and getting a firm commitment from City Council to move forward. They're not talking about a merger of the city and the county or mergers (yet) of big departments.
The idea for now is to take baby steps. County officials have suggested working together on some nitty-gritty government work: purchasing supplies both use, sharing county-wide fire hydrant maintenance and sharing economic development resources.
It could create a working relationship that could lead to bigger savings down the road.
If the mayor won't meet halfway, then City Council members should take the reins and push city administrators to find ways to real, money-saving ways to work with their counterparts in Hamilton County government.

Official estimates suggest that the typhoon that hit the Philippines on 8th November, 2013, left 14 million people affected and 4.1 million displaced. MIRA results indicate that livelihoods, especially in farming and fishing, have been severely affected by the typhoon, resulting in income losses of up to 70%. Most agricultural households report that it will take between 6 and 8 months to fully recover. In the immediate aftermath of the typhoon, households reported significant decreases in food consumption. While the food security situation has improved considerably with the increase in food assistance, the most vulnerable populations remain food insecure and highly dependent on food assistance. MIRA results suggest that 27% of the population in affected areas remains food insecure, and needs continued food assistance to prevent further depletion of assets.
As of December 2013, markets were rapidly recovering across the affected areas and, in some cases, are fully functional. However, high and volatile prices are observed, particularly in the Eastern areas.
The cumulative impact of staple food price changes on the cost of the basic food basket from October to December 2013 was moderate.

Schools Unleash 'Eco-Kids' to Badger Their Parents
Environmental educators want children to "nag, pester, bug, and torment" their elders into a green lifestyle.
December 18, 2008 - 12:00 am
A similar aspiration was expressed by leading cabinet minister David Miliband, who argued that "children are the key to changing society's long-term attitudes to the environment." Miliband is convinced that "not only are they passionate about saving the planet but children also have a big influence over their families' lifestyles and behavior." Former Education Secretary Alan Johnson wrote that "children have a dual role as consumers and influences" and therefore "educating them about the impact of getting an extra pair of trainers for fashion's sake is as important as the pressure they put on their parents not to buy a gas-guzzling car."
A report entitled The Role of Schools in Shaping Energy-Related Consumer Behavior is devoted to elaborating a policy framework as to how this objective of promoting educational initiatives can impact parental behavior. One such initiative which involves 5,500 schools is called the Eco-Schools Scheme. Andrew Sutter, who runs Eco-Schools, believes that it provides an opportunity for children "to be the teachers and tell their parents what to do for a change."
This point is underlined in a government report on energy. It states that the "installation of renewable technologies in schools can bring the curriculum to life in ways that textbooks cannot." Moreover, it observes, "with schools often being the focal point of communities, the installation of renewables could help to shape attitudes in the wider community." Not infrequently the mobilization of pester power to alter the behavior of adults acquires the character of a frenetic crusade. The book How to Turn Your Parents Green by James Russell incites children to "nag, pester, bug, torment, and punish people who are merrily wrecking our world." Russell calls on children to "channel their pester power and issue fines against their parents and other transgressors."
In previous times the practice of mobilizing children to police their parents' behavior was confined to totalitarian societies. Authorities who attempted to harness youngsters' simplistic views of good and evil are reminiscent of Orwell's Big Brother. But who needs Big Brother when the then-prime minister of the United Kingdom, Tony Blair, can assert that "on climate change, it is parents who should listen to their children"?

Drive to collect 1,000 suitcases starts
Houston County Courier
By Lynda Jones
Managing Editor
When children are removed from their homes, they are leaving their world of familiarity. It's a frightening time for them. Often, they are moved from one foster home to another. In addition to the upheaval in their young lives, thousands of children in foster care carry their worldly possessions in garbage bags each time they are moved. A group of Lovelady athletes wants to end this indignity and needs the community's support. The Lovelady Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (F.C.A.) has set a goal to collect 1,000 suitcases between now (Sept. 26) and Oct. 31. Region V includes 15 counties and has about 800 children in foster care at this time. The Lovelady F.C.A.'s mission during this project is "We embrace the needs of children to create a better world one suitcase at a time." Members of the community are asked to take their suitcases to one of the following drop-off centers, and to look for the big drop-off box: First Baptist Church, Lovelady (Gym), Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 8 a.m. - 12 noon, Sunday service; Harvest Church, Crockett, Tuesday and Friday, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Sunday service; First Baptist Church, Crockett, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday service; Calvary Baptist Church, Crockett, Monday and Friday, 12 noon to 6 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Sunday service; First United Methodist Church, Grapeland, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday service; Trinity Tabernacle, Trinity, Wednesday, 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Sunday service; East Texas Medical Center, Crockett, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., upstairs at clinic or 6 days a week, 24/7 near the gift shop. The Lovelady F.C.A. members thank everyone for donating to their mission. For more information, call 936-636-2776.

As many of you know from my prior postings, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires all non-exempt hourly employees to be paid for all time worked on an hourly basis and for all overtime worked at time and a half. This includes all work off the clock. Just because your employer tells you to work before punching in and or after punching out does not make it right or legal under the FLSA. In addition, if you are forced to work during your lunch break, you are required to be paid for that time and if it puts you over forty hours per week, then you are entitled to overtime.
Well apparently, someone in Walt Disney World's vast legal department has not been carefully watching its cast and its supervisors. Since it agreed to pay dozens of clerks $433,000 in back pay for work performed before and after their normal shifts, according to Business Week magazine.
A report said Disney will pay the money to 69 employees of its food and beverage department in its theme park after the company was determined to have violated the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Their work was also performed during meal times, the magazine reported, and managers were not guiding employees according to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
So don't work without getting paid for it. If you suspect your employer is not paying you correctly get it checked out by the U.S. Department of Labor, who enforces the FLSA, or an employment attorney that handles FLSA cases.

I have written widely on this theme, and have also published books and articles on witchcraft, on Cornish and Welsh ethnic identity during the Tudor and Stuart periods, on massacre and atrocity during the 1640s, on urban fortification and on the early modern town. I am currently carrying out research into: a) the Western Rising of 1549 (the so-called 'Prayer Book Rebellion'); and b) the role played by women in the English Civil War.
Teaching Responsibilities
Areas where I can offer postgraduate supervision:
Any area of early modern English and Welsh history between 1450 and 1660, especially on topics relating to the Civil Wars.

Breastfeeding AccommodationsSeptember 18th, 2007 by MamaBear
One story that's been in the news lately is causing me some concern. It's about a Harvard medical student, Sophie Currier, who isn't being allowed to take a pumping or breastfeeding break during an exam which is required of all medical students. This news story has caused a division even among lactivists, with some people saying Currier has been offered "enough" accommodations due to her dyslexia and ADHD and therefore doesn't need the "extra" time to pump/breastfeed. My opinion is that if she has ADHD and dyslexia, then accommodations made for those circumstances aren't related at all to her lactational state, so why is that being brought up at all? So she's being given accommodations. Big deal! If a man were to have ADHD and dyslexia, he'd be given the same accommodations. If the same man were to also have cancer, for example, he'd be given accommodations for his ADHD and dyslexia, and, I would think that additional accommodations would be made for his cancer condition as well. And if they weren't, I wouldn't be outraged if he tried to rectify that. I wouldn't say, "Well, he just wants attention!" And I don't think anyone else would either… Well, not compassionate people anyway.
Why is this case any different (other than the fact that Sophie Currier doesn't have cancer or other life-threatening condition)? Well, because this is a woman's issue. And when something is a woman's issue, then it's "women needing attention" and "women wanting special treatment." It doesn't ever seem to be interpreted as, "Even though it's never been done before, this is a legitimate issue that needs to be addressed." Oh no. That would be way too reasonable.
I don't think letting a woman take pumping breaks during a test, no matter how big and important, is an unreasonable accommodation, given that she's lactating. I think any woman who is lactating should be allowed pumping or breastfeeding breaks, period. The time between them shouldn't be longer than three hours, because that's about the longest a nursing baby would go without breastfeeding (if it's during a growth spurt, it could be as often as every ten minutes, but I'm compromising here for the sake of reasonableness). Lactating breasts that aren't emptied regularly, whether by breastfeeding or pumping, become engorged rather quickly, and this engorgement can range from uncomfortable to painful and can be very distracting. I can only imagine what it must be like to take a high-pressure test like the United States Medical Licensing Exam while dealing with a constant throbbing pain in the breasts… Not to mention, if the breasts aren't emptied, it could cause problems like plugged ducts and a breast infection called mastitis. I've experienced dozens of episodes of plugged ducts personally, and a few cases of mastitis. They are both debilitating and painful conditions which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It's much better to prevent them than to cure them. In severe cases of mastitis, a breast abscess (link to picture which may not be safe for work) could occur, which could require surgery. It's a terrible idea to not allow a lactating woman to pump/breastfeed when it's clear an accommodation must be made for this.
(It's actually more than a little ironic that an exam which is a requirement of becoming a doctor wouldn't make accommodations for a lactating mother given that the AAP and AMA both recommend breastfeeding exclusively for the first six months of a baby's life, and thereafter, continued breastfeeding for twelve months (in addition to the introduction of solids). Most medical institutions don't give an upper limit for breastfeeding, leaving it at the discretion of the mother and child — "as long as mutually desired by mother and child." Currier's baby is four months old now, and in need of exclusive breastfeeding, as per the AAP's recommendation.)
Some comments I've read on the web regarding this: "But she shouldn't have had kids in the middle of medical school if she was going to need accommodations!" Here's my response to this: Try being a twentysomething woman who wants to hold off on having kids for x, y, or z reason (could be as simple as "haven't found the right partner yet." … Or it could be that she did try to have kids earlier, but she couldn't get pregnant until she reached her thirties. Not everything in life can be controlled!) Then try being a thirtysomething woman, with your biological clock ticking, while you're in medical school. Sure, you could wait another decade while you sort out your career fully and then try to have kids…. But you know that if you do that, you're taking a grave fertility risk. Statistics show that it is much harder to conceive after forty than when you're in your thirties. It's actually pretty common knowledge, which is why so many women wind up having kids even while they're getting their careers sorted. True, some women sacrifice one for the other, as is their prerogative, but other women want to have both, and work hard to achieve both, …and why is that wrong, exactly? Ohhhh… That's right. I almost forgot. It's the old "damned if you do and damned if you don't" conundrum. Of course.
Sophie Currier started her own blog and stated her point of view very eloquently. So far, just one entry, but worth reading.
Personally, I don't see how giving her (and every other mom who takes that test — and other tests like it for that matter) the very reasonable pumping/breastfeeding accommodation would affect her ability to be a good doctor. If she passes the test, she passes, and she should move on to residency, etc. I just don't see why giving her this reasonable accommodation is turning into such a tooth-pulling exercise. The only reason why she's asking for it is because she's lactating, and stopping lactation is out of the question. It is discriminatory (and hypocritical, considering the institution which this test is for) to not allow pumping breaks. Full stop.
Update: Not surprisingly, the judge ruled against giving her the twenty minute breaks. She asked for twenty minutes for each day she took the test and was not granted them. Ridiculous that she had to go to court to try and get this time, and even more ridiculous that she wasn't given it, but there you go.

JONESBORO — Clayton County Juvenile Court Chief Judge Steve Teske has once again achieved a pinnacle in his career with his recent election to the Board of Trustees of the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges.
"It is one of the largest and oldest judicial organizations in the world and it is definitely a highlight in my judicial career to be chosen by my peers from all over the country," said Teske.
Teske said he has been a member of the council since taking the bench in 1999 and is a trainer for the council. He also chairs the school pathways committee that is spearheading a project to train judges in each region in the country to replicate Clayton County's model to reduce school arrests. It is a model Teske created.
He said he is excited to play a larger role in the council and will be supervising training next month.
"Our first training is Aug. 5-7 at the NCJFCJ headquarters in Reno, Nev., on the campus of the University of Nevada," he said. "I am lead faculty and 20 judges will go through training on the model and in facilitating skills."
Teske said Georgia has strong representation on the national council since he was elected with Judge Warner Kennon of Columbus. The two join Judge Peggy Walker from Douglasville, who is on the trustees board and is serving as president-elect.
The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges works to ensure justice for every family and every child in every court throughout this country. The vital and important work of the NCJFCJ began in 1937 when a group of judges came together looking to improve the effectiveness of the nation's juvenile courts, according to material provided by Teske.
One of the largest and oldest judicial membership organizations in the nation, the NCJFCJ serves an estimated 30,000 professionals in the juvenile and family justice system including judges, referees, commissioners, court masters and administrators, social and mental health workers, police and probation officers.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Some of the world's best anglers were up bright and early on the Delaware River Saturday morning for the 2014 Bassmaster Tournament.
The tournament is going on all weekend. Early Saturday, 50 boats headed out onto the River to compete for a $100,000 prize. Those 50 boats are what remain from the 100 that started the competition on Thursday, and on Sunday only 12 boats will compete for the grand prize.
In the afternoon, the anglers meet at Penn's Landing, each with five fish that will be weighed to determine who advances.
As of Saturday morning, New Jersey's Michael Iaconelli leads the standings.
This is the first time the event has taken place in Philadelphia.

IPS: Per-Rule IPS Exceptions
Extended the exceptions functionality to allow for specific rules as part of an exception.
This will allow for much more granular IPS exceptions in being able to specify a rule be disable/excepted only for a certain traffic flow, like for rule 2122 from Internet to Webserver, without disabling the rule globally or by exempting the resource from IPS fully.
can you change IDS to disable rules only for a specific host (source, destination) instead of completely?
This feature is included in the upcoming release, code-named Project Copernicus. It is currently in public beta. For more details, please see https://www.astaro.org/beta-versions/project-copernicus-public-beta
While not exactly implemented as requested here, the concept of granular IPS policies per rule, solves the underlying goal of this feature.

GetParanoid commented
I'm amazed that people have been asking for this one for FIVE years and it is still NOT done!
Hagi commented
We need it too. Please Review this request. It`s an important feature!
Andrew commented
If this is not implemented, we at least need to be able to see more information about modified rules and the ability to add comments so we know why they're modified.
Clayton Dillard commented
This is a very much needed feature.
Jason Mougeot commented
This should be default for any IPS system! I work with Cisco IPS, Dragon, IBM ISS, SourceFire and Trendmicro systems and this is a must for proper IPS filtering.
MichaelR commented
Yeah, gread idea! This is a huuuuuge problem because of different network services published on the same IP. There's no way to handle this secure right now...
Thomas commented
It would be great if that was implemented. At the moment you have to disable a complete rule instead of just eliminating false positives apearing inside your own network. Also as Elmar stated the exceptions are a bit useless without the possibility to combine source and destination via AND.
Bob Alfson commented
Yes, you should shift your votes over to the first one: http://feature.astaro.com/forums/17359-astaro-gateway-feature-requests/suggestions/178333-ips-granular-ips-exclusions?ref=title
flaserra commented
I think it is a duplicate post, there is also another request like this
bjack985 commented
I agree, a v6 type configuration would be better that what's there now, but it needs to be flexible for new rules and edits to existing rules with the ability to revert an edited rule back to it's factory syntax.
There should also be a way to fetch rules files from a central location. I'm not going to pretend to know the details of that methodology, but it seems doable.
Cotto commented
Yes, that`s what i need to! Astaro, give us this feature!!!
BrucekConvergent commented
I'm outta votes, but we do need a way to add our own rules, as we could in Version 6. I think the current method for managing the automatic ruleset is OK,but we need the ability to add custom rules again.
Bob Alfson commented
ellell, do you mean you want to be able to write your own rules?
Elmar Haag commented
I think it would be sufficient to change the "exceptions" dialogue the conjunction "source" and "destination network" from an "OR" to an "AND"

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
In this column, I have talked to the readers of the Gwinnett Daily Post about Annandale Village two times this past year.For many, the columns were an introduction to your neighbor of 36 years, and for others, the columns were just reminders of the special place tucked away on 124 acres in Gwinnett County. We highlighted the life of one of our Villagers, made a request for support of our Jazzy Thing, which will occur on April 29, and thanked Gwinnett County for all its support. Annandale Village, a private, nonprofit organization, is a residential community for adults with developmental disabilities. Some conditions associated with developmental disabilities are autism, cerebral palsy and mental retardation. As you have probably figured out, the residents of Annandale refer to themselves as Villagers, as do their staff and families. In a season when we are accustomed to hearing the plea from nonprofits for funds, would you be surprised to hear: "What can we do for you?" Make no mistake, Annandale Village continues to thrive only with generous contributions from our supporters in the community, but our residents - our Villagers - benefit from giving this time of year also. Beginning each January, Villagers voluntarily begin contributing to a stocking fund (generally spare change supplemented by profits from recycling cans or having village-wide craft or rummage sales). During their November Villager meeting, votes are taken for which local causes will make the Elf Visit List. About 40 volunteer Villager Elves will then scatter throughout Gwinnett on outings designed to stretch their stocking fund as far as it will reach. Who made the cut this year? Two local grocery store food drives, the Gwinnett Animal Shelter, Goodwill, a local neighbor-in-need, Suwanee firefighters and police (home baked holiday cookies), and even some soldiers in Iraq. As adults who receive care, imagine how empowering it is for the Villagers to fulfill a need in someone else's life. Elf trips are highly anticipated - no Villager is denied a trip if they volunteer. The thank yous our Villagers receive from the community keep the elves coming back year after year. In fact, if you have an organization that has hands-on volunteer projects during the year, consider our Villagers. What can they do for you, or more importantly, what can we do for each other? In the past year, Annandale has continued to grow. We are serving more than 100 adults in our residential program, day program and skilled nursing facility. If you think you know someone who may benefit from our services, you do not have to know all the answers. Just call Annandale and our staff will coordinate with everyone involved to determine eligibility and make any necessary arrangements. To learn more about Annandale Village or how you can continue to help Annandale achieve its mission, please call 770-945-8381 or write by mail at 3500 Annandale Lane, Suwanee, GA, 30024. - Sandy Weaver, Annandale's Arts and Activities Instructor of 15 years, contributed to this article. "People Helping People" is a weekly column written by the executive directors of nonprofit organizations in Gwinnett County. Today's article was written by Adam Pomeranz, executive director of Annandale Village. Need help or know someone who does? The Gwinnett Helpline directs callers to the appropriate nonprofit agency. Call 770-995-3339.

We call Annie's mom "Grandma." When Annie and I got married, Grandma laid down the law.
"I don't care where you spend Christmas, New Year's, Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, or the Fourth of July. But Thanksgiving is my day and I expect you here. Both of you. You forget that and I'm writing you out of the will. Got it?"
We got it.
Every year, we arrive late Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and stumble to bed in the guest room. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump from the kitchen.
"Better get some rest. We got a big day tomorrow," Grandma says, eyes gleaming with anticipation. "You two sleep in so you'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for the festivities."
She says that every year. Then, precisely at 4:30 a.m., Grandma arrives in the kitchen and commences a ruckus Rip VanWinkle couldn't sleep through. Annie and I lie in bed listening.
"She's getting the roasting pan from the pantry," Annie says. "And the roasting rack."
"She's getting her 16-pound turkey out of the refrigerator," I say.
"Holy #%$&8^!" Grandma curses.
"Dropped it," Annie says. "She always drops it."
"She's putting her grease-spattered Joy of Cooking on the counter. Opening it to page 465. She's reading the part that says baste frequently with pan drippings."
"She's preheating the oven," Annie says.
"May as well get up," I say.
"Bad coffee and pineapple Danish," Annie says. "Non-dairy creamer."
Back in 1976, Grandma's turkey was dry -- really dry. Nobody's forgotten Thanksgiving 1976. Grandma swore it'd never happen again. And she meant it. Every year since, Grandma has experimented with her basting technique. Last year's experiment took the cake -- so to speak.
"I'm basting every 10 minutes," Grandma announced while Annie and I drank bad coffee with non-dairy creamer. "This bird is gonna be the moistest yet!"
Every 10 minutes like clockwork, Grandma pulled open the oven door, pulled out the oven rack with the bird on it, basted, pushed the rack back into the oven, and closed the door. The oven door was therefore more open than shut. The oven had no chance to heat. The turkey wouldn't cook. But we learned long ago to keep our mouths shut.
"Holy #$*&!" Grandma cursed. "What the %$#@ is wrong with this %$#*&@$ oven?"
"Don't know," Annie said.
Thanksgiving lunch was set for noon. (It's always set for noon. We never eat at noon.)
The rest of the family arrived bearing sweet potato casseroles (one with coconut, one without), cranberry Jell-O salads (one with celery and nuts, one without), cornbread dressing (one with oysters, one without), macaroni and cheese casseroles (one made with cream and lots of butter, one made with low-fat cottage cheese -- yuk!), green bean casserole (just one, made with cream of mushroom soup, crunchy onions on top), a basket of rolls, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, pineapple-upside-down cake, and one can of jellied cranberry sauce for those who prefer the real thing.
"Ladies, I need you in the kitchen. Men, I don't care what you do, but stay out of my kitchen." We men retired to the TV room to watch the football game.
At noon, Grandma announced the first delay.
"Having a little trouble with the oven," she said.
At 1 p.m., Grandma announced the second delay.
"Sorry folks, the #$%& oven is on the blink," she said.
At 2 p.m., Grandma announced yet another delay.
"Almost done," she said.
At 3 p.m., Annie's dad -- we call him PaPa -- disappeared into the kitchen. When he returned, he announced that the turkey was on the table. He'd put it there himself. "Whether it's done or not," he said.
It wasn't.
The family gathered around the table -- all 14 of us.
"I'm not eating that," Annie whispered.
While Papa asked the blessing, the rest of us eyed the turkey. It sat on a giant platter surrounded by wilted parsley. It wasn't crispy and brown. It was pale. You could see bloody pink meat through translucent skin. It looked like something the Centers for Disease Control would load into a hazmat bag and cart away.
"That thing's gotta be crawling with botulism," Annie whispered.
Before we sat, Annie's brother, Larry, proposed a toast. He'd drunk an excess of Walla Walla wine (supplied proudly by yours truly) while waiting for lunch. He lurched across the table to clink glasses with me. Our glasses shattered. All over the turkey.
"Grandma's good crystal," Annie whispered.
The silence was deafening.
"Kentucky Fried Chicken," PaPa bellowed, smiling. "Who's going with me?"
"Get a few cups of KFC gravy," Larry said.
"And some coleslaw," sister-in-law Vickie said. "I love their coleslaw."
"And some more rolls," brother-in-law Frank said. "We need more rolls."
Thanksgiving lunch was adjourned while PaPa and Frank went to KFC. Meanwhile, Grandma and Annie disposed of the turkey and both macaroni-and-cheese casseroles (which had suffered collateral damage).
Annie found me back in front of the TV watching the football game.
"Know what I'm thankful for?" Annie whispered.
"What?" I asked.
"Walla Walla wine. It just saved our lives."If you'd like to read more of Sam's musings on life, visit his website at HYPERLINK "http://www.sammcleod.net" www.sammcleod.net, or better yet, buy a copy of his new book, BIG APPETITE.
