Caatinga (Portuguese pronunciation: [kaaˈtĩɡɐ]) is a type of desert vegetation, and an ecoregion characterized by this vegetation in interior northeastern Brazil. The name "Caatinga" is a Tupi word meaning "white forest" or "white vegetation" (caa = forest, vegetation, tinga = white).
Caatinga is a xeric shrubland and thorn forest, which consists primarily of small, thorny trees that shed their leaves seasonally. Cacti, thick-stemmed plants, thorny brush, and arid-adapted grasses make up the ground layer. Many annual plants grow, flower, and die during the brief rainy season.
Caatinga falls entirely within earth's Tropical zone and is one of 6 major ecoregions of Brazil, including the Amazon Basin, Pantanal, Cerrado, Caatinga, Atlantic Forest, and Pampas. It covers 850,000 km²,[citation needed] nearly 10% of Brazil's territory. It is home to 15 million people and more than 2000 species of vascular plants, fishes, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals.[citation needed]
Caatinga covers the interior portion of northeastern Brazil bordering the Atlantic seaboard (save for a fringe of Atlantic Forest). It is located between 3°S 45°W and 17°S 35°W, extending across eight states of Brazil: Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, and parts of Minas Gerais, as well the southeasternmost point of Rio de Janeiro in Cabo Frio. The Caatinga includes several enclaves of humid tropical forest, known as the Caatinga enclaves moist forests.
The Caatinga is bounded by the Maranhão Babaçu forests to the northwest, the Atlantic dry forests and the Cerrado savannas to the west and southwest, the humid Atlantic forests along the Atlantic coast to the east, and by the Atlantic Ocean to the north and northeast.
The Caatinga comprises 850,000 km², about 10% of the surface area of Brazil. By comparison, it is over nine times the surface area of Portugal from whence came its early settlers, and 20% larger than the U.S. state of Texas.
The Caatinga has only two distinguishable seasons. These are the winter, when it is very hot and dry, and the summer when it is hot and rainy. During the dry winter periods there is no foliage or undergrowth. The vegetation is very dry and the roots begin to protrude through the surface of the stony soil. They do this in order to absorb water before it is evaporated. All leaves fall off the trees to reduce transpiration, thus lessening the amount of water that is lost in the dry season. During the peak periods of drought the Caatinga's soil can reach temperatures of up to 60 °C. With all the foliage and undergrowth dead during the drought periods and all the trees having no leaves the Caatinga has a yellow-grey, desert-like look.
The Caatinga is very dry place in Brazil, with frequent droughts. The drought usually ends in December or January, when the rainy season starts. Immediately after the first rains, the grey, desert-like landscape starts to transform and becomes completely green within a few days. Small plants start growing in the now moist soil and trees grow back their leaves. At this time, the rivers that were mostly dry during the past 6 or 7 months, start to fill up and the streams begin to flow again.

The Caatinga is poorly represented in the Brazilian Conservation Area network, with only 1% in Integral Protection Conservation Areas and 6% in Sustainable Use Conservation Areas.
Caatinga harbors a unique biota, with thousands of endemic species. Caatinga contains over 1,000 vascular plant species in addition to 187 bees, 240 fish species, 167 reptiles and amphibians, 516 birds, and 148 mammal species, with endemism levels varying from 9 percent in birds to 57 percent in fishes.[1]
The caatinga does not correspond to a single type of vegetation, but is a broad mosaic of types. Towards the coast, the caatinga is replaced by remnants of the Atlantic Coast forest (Mata Atlântica); inland, the caatinga merges with no clear limits into the "cerrado" (see CPD Site SA21). Interspersed with the caatinga are low mountains with uplands that are much more humid, containing elements ("brejos de altitude") of the Atlantic and Amazonian forests, with trees 30–35 m tall.
General characteristics of the caatinga elements include total loss of leaves during the dry season, small and firm (xeric) leaves, intense branching of the trees from the base (giving them a shrubby appearance) and the presence of succulent and crassulaceous species (Romariz 1974). Most authors recognize two main types of caatinga: dry caatinga ("sertão") located in the interior and more humid caatinga ("agreste") toward the coast. Eiten (1983) divided the caatinga into the following eight categories:
1. Caatinga forest, or low (8–10 m) xerophytic deciduous tropical broadleaved forest, with closed canopies, and the trees having a ground coverage over 60%. This robust formation occurs where there is sufficient rain and the soil is deep enough.
2. Arborescent caatinga, with the shrubby subcanopy not closed, and tree coverage 10-60%.
3. Arborescent-shrubby closed caatinga, or low xerophytic deciduous open tropical broadleaved forest with closed scrub, where the tree coverage is 10-60%. This is the most common form of undisturbed caatinga, sometimes called "carrasco".
4. Arborescent-shrubby open caatinga, with the total ground coverage of trees, shrubs, cacti, bromeliads, etc. between 10-60%.
5. Shrubby closed caatinga, or xerophytic deciduous or semi-deciduous closed tropical broadleaved scrub; the thoroughly deciduous scrub is more common.
6. Shrubby open caatinga, or xerophytic open tropical scrub, which can be composed of deciduous broadleaved species, cacti and bromeliads, or mixtures of the same. Coverage varies between 10-60%. Common throughout the caatinga on very shallow soil or rocky outcrops.
7. Caatinga savanna or xerophytic short-graminose tropical savanna with deciduous broadleaved scrub; this formation is usually called "seridó".
8. Rocky caatinga savanna or xerophytic sparse tropical scrub, in which both scrub and graminose elements have ground coverage of less than 10%. This formation occurs on pavements and outcrops of massive rock, with the plants interspersed in cracks and hollows.[2]
The Caatinga is home to nearly 50 endemic species of birds, including Lear's macaw (Anodorhynchus leari), Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii),[disputed ] moustached woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes falcirostris), Caatinga parakeet, Caatinga antwren, Sao Francisco black tyrant and Caatinga cacholote.[Note 1]
Endemic mammal species include:
- eleven rodents - Caatinga vesper mouse, Wiedomys pyrrhorhinos, Trinomys yonenagae, Trinomys albispinus minor, Trinomys albispinus sertonius, Thylamys karimii, Dasyprocta sp. n., Oryzomys sp. n., Oxymycterus sp. n., Rhipidomys sp. n. ssp. 1, and Rhipidomys sp. n. ssp. 2
- one primate - Callicebus barbarabrownae
- two bats - Xeronycteris vieira and Chiroderma sp. n
Economic exploitation[edit]
People use many plant species from the Caatinga region. Palms are very important to the economy in northeast Brazil. People from this area are greatly dependent on extraction from babassu, carnaúba, tucúm and macaúba, from which lauric and oleic oils are made from. Many trees are also used for lumber in this area, including these species: Anadenanthera macrocarpa, Ziziphus joazeiro, Amburana cearensis, Astronium fraxinifolium, Astronium urundeuva, Handroanthus impetiginosus, Tabebuia caraiba, and Schinopsis brasiliensis, Cedrela odorata, Dalbergia variabilis, Didymopanax morototoni and Pithecellobium polycephalum. Some plants are also used for medical purposes.[examples needed]
Around 15 million people live in the Caatinga region,[3] and are regarded[who?] as belonging to the poorest inhabitants of Brazil. A very large part of the population depends on agricultural or forest industries for over half of their income. There are few drinkable water sources, and harvesting is difficult because of the irregular rainfall.
Along São Francisco River, the Caatinga has very fertile soil. Inhabitants plant fruits in the fertile soil to process and eat, sell and export. The irrigated farms along the São Francisco River in the municipalities of Petrolina and Juazeiro are currently exporting grapes, papayas and melons. Despite the amount of fertility, many farmers earn less than $1 a day.
Some regions are being irrigated, most notably the São Francisco River. While this is very good news for some farmers, it has also had serious consequences for people who have always depended on the natural flow of the river. Big dams have brought an end to the high tides in the rainy season, which used to spread fertile mud over the fields creating a rich ground that could be used for agriculture during the dry season. Salinization of the soil is becoming a threat since large areas of the land are irrigated with saline water, thus sterilizing the soil.
Having and using all these resources has some negatives. Intensive agriculture, along with excessive grazing by cattle and goats, is affecting the population structure of some important plant and animal species. Deforesting for industrial uses like fuel and charcoal destroys the vegetation. The combination of drought and misuse of the land is becoming a major threat. Harvesting of the caraiba woodland for lumber has reduced its size. This reduction may have contributed to the endangerment of the Spix's Macaw.[citation needed]

Black Man in a White Coat by Damon Tweedy
Air date:Mon, 10/05/2015 - 11:00am - 11:30am
Short Description:Black Man in a White Coat by Dr. Damon Tweedy
Black Man in a White Coat examines the complex ways in which both black doctors and patients must navigate the difficult and often contradictory terrain of race and medicine. As Tweedy transforms from student to practicing physician, he discovers how often race influences his encounters with patients. Through their stories, he illustrates the complex social, cultural, and economic factors at the root of most health problems in the black community. These issues take on greater meaning when Tweedy is himself diagnosed with a chronic disease far more common among black people. In this powerful, moving, and deeply empathic book, Tweedy explores the challenges confronting black doctors, and the disproportionate health burdens faced by black patients, ultimately seeking a way forward to better treatment and more compassionate care.

The following is Roger Ebert's 1971 review of the original theatrical release of "THX 1138."
The brave new world of the American Zoetrope studio began in the late 1960s in San Francisco. Francis Ford Coppola, a young director of promise, persuaded Warner Bros. to help finance and distribute a group of features by the bright new filmmakers he'd gathered around him. Coppola had just finished a successful mainstream production for Warner, "Finian's Rainbow," and his proposal sounded good in that era of youth films, bike films, trip films and other high hopes.
The youth film and the others turned out to be lost causes, however, and as the American film industry moved back to traditional narrative pictures, not many of the proposed American Zoetrope films were made, and even fewer ever opened. Warner Bros., having decided to drop the San Francisco experiment, didn't back the surviving features very enthusiastically. The greatest casualty was George Lucas' "THX 1138," a science-fiction parable set in the 25th century and displaying remarkable visual mastery.
The movie's strength is not in its story but in its unsettling and weirdly effective visual and sound style. The story is standard sci-fi stuff: Five centuries in the future, mankind inhabits vast underground cities which are programmed by computers and policed by robots. The citizens are force-fed drugs to inhibit their passions, but THX 1138 (Robert Duvall) and his mate LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie) cut down on their drug rations and discover that they have sexual appetites. Worse still, they are in love.
What follows is a battle against the centralized computer system, a few episodes of outsmarting the dumb robot policemen and a chase scene. None of this is very original, and the whole business of Love vs. State is out of Orwell and countless lesser writers. But Lucas doesn't seem to have been very concerned with his plot, anyway. His film was inspired by a student film he did at the University of Southern California, which won the National Student Film Festival in 1968. The student work was sort of a dry run for this one, exploring ways of creating inexpensive but totally convincing special effects for a futuristic society. The experiment was a success; the subterranean laboratories, apartments and corridors in "THX 1138" have a blinding, white porcelain sameness, and the characters seem to inhabit the future's most spectacular and sanitary bathroom fixtures.
The sound effects add to the illusion of a distant and different society. The dialogue seems half-heard, half-forgotten; people talk in a bemused way, as if the drugs had made them indifferent. Their words are suspended in a muted, echoing atmosphere in which only the computer-programmed recorded announcements seem confident. And the featureless whiteness of this universe stretches away into infinity, especially in the effective scene involving a prison with no walls: How can you escape from a prison that is simply an empty void?
"THX 1138" suffers somewhat from its simple storyline, but as a work of visual imagination it's special, and as haunting as parts of "2001: A Space Odyssey," "Silent Running" and "The Andromeda Strain."

About Pauly Shore
Pauly Shore became the darling of the MTV crowd with his burned-out California persona, but his roots went deep into comedy's history, as his father was a veteran of the Catskill circuit and his mother ran the Comedy Club in Los Angeles. At the peak of his popularity in the early '90s, he starred in hit films and issued a series of LPs including Scraps from the Future, The Future of America, and Pink Diggily Diggily. After his films began drawing dwindling crowds and a short-lived sitcom flopped, however, Shore maintained a relatively low profile, occasionally coming out of the woodwork to release albums like 2000's Hollywood, We've Got a Problem. ~ Cub Koda, Rovi

The Companion Kit
What tools do you need for success in open data? Get them all by downloading the Field Kit.
The open data movement continues to transition from an emphasis on transparency to measuring the civic and economic impact of open data programs. As part of this transition, governments are realizing the importance of creating a formal policy to define strategic goals, describe the desired benefits, and provide the scope for data publishing efforts over time.
An official open data policy is one of the most effective ways to obtain organizational support and transformational change with your open data initiative. Pioneering organizations like New York City, Chicago, Montgomery County, New York State, and Halifax have all adopted official open data policies to increase transparency, further agency goals, and create economic opportunities for citizens.
Below you will find tips and links to example open data policies. Use these as a reference when developing your own.
Before considering the investment needed to create an open data policy, it is helpful to examine some of the benefits. When well executed, policies can yield a range of positive outcomes. These include:
In thinking about the steps for developing an open data policy, many leaders wonder about what components are necessary and what specific language should be incorporated. While open data policies can take a number of different forms (see below for the four main policy types), there are some generally accepted best practices for what kinds of information to include in each.
Consider these three areas when creating your open data policy:
Why are you launching an open data program? What do you hope to achieve? Share this information in your policy. Be explicit and help people understand the benefit of spending time and energy on open data.
Specify the types of datasets to be included in your portal. You can limit them to certain areas, such as finance or crime, or be more inclusive. We recommend including as much data as possible.
For example, New York City's policy explicitly states that all city data that does not contain personal information should be on the open data portal. They have an "open by default" mandate. This means that all public data is considered "open data" unless it contains personal information about citizens. This approach makes it easier to get all agencies to publish their data on the open data portal. Plus, you'll save yourself time you would have spent answering the question, "What do I publish?"
Use your open data policy to designate the roles of specific stakeholders within your open data program. The city of Chicago, for example, used its policy to create a working group between department heads and Chief Data Officer Brett Goldstein. The group convenes on a regular basis to discuss how each department is contributing to the mayor's open data initiative.
Read the Sunlight Foundation's Open Data Policy Guidelines
The Sunlight Foundation has created one of the best resources on the kinds of challenges that open data policies can address.
Generally speaking, there are four types of policy levels currently in use regarding open data: executive orders, new laws, new regulations, and non-binding resolutions. None of these four tools has a monopoly on documentation length.
The prime example of an open data executive order in action is President Barack Obama's Open Data Initiative. While this executive order was short – only four paragraphs on two pages – the real policy magic was a mandate-by-reference that required all U.S. federal agencies to comply with a detailed set of time-bound actions. All of these requirements are publicly viewable on a GitHub repository – a free hosting service for open source software development projects – which is revolutionary in and of itself. Detailed discussions on government transparency took place not in closed-door boardrooms, but online for everyone to see, edit, and improve.
A classic example of a non-binding resolution can be found by doing an online search for the resolution of Palo Alto, California. Short and sweet, this town squire-like exercise delivers additional attention to the movement inside and outside of government. The lightweight policy tool also has the benefit of lasting a bit longer than any particular government official. Although, in recognition of the numerous resolutions that have ever come out of any small town, resolutions are only as timeless as people's memory. See the Appendix below for specific Resolution language.
The New York State Handbook on Open Data is a great example of internal regulations put to good use. Originating from the Office of Information Technology Resources, the handbook is a comprehensive, clear, and authoritative guide on how open data is actually supposed to work. Also available on GitHub, the handbook resembles the federal open data project in many ways.
Legislation that becomes codified law is the 800-pound gorilla of open data policy tools. The archetypal example comes from San Francisco. Interestingly, what started as an "Executive Directive" from Mayor Gavin Newsom later turned into legislation and brought with it the power of stronger Department mandates and a decent budget. Once enacted, laws are generally hard to revise. However, in the case of San Francisco, the city council has already revised the law two times in four years.
A Nod to the Pioneers
Vancouver and Portland introduced progressive open data motions as early as 2009, but the one that started it all is Washington, D.C. back in 2006.
The city of New York is the originator of "open by default." New York City's open data policy states, "…it is in the best interest of New York City that its agencies and departments make their data available online using open standards." In addition, Mayor Bloomberg, chief digital officer Rachel Hoat, and many other government officials have worked to create one of the most thorough plans for a digital city in the 21st century called the "2012 Digital Roadmap." This document details, among many things, the benefits of open data to a 21st century city.
In 2012, New York State's Committee on Open Government released a report to the governor and the legislature with a wish list of transparency and accountability recommendations. The key request was that state and local governments and public entities expand their use of "open data" formats to "whenever possible." While transparency was a goal, the committee saw value in reducing the effort needed to fulfill Freedom of Information Law requests from the public.
Looking for More Help with Your Open Data Initiative?
The city of Edmonton has published an Open Data Toolkit full of useful resources.
In the fall of 2012, the city of Chicago released an official open data policy, though it already had a very successful open data program. The executive order from Mayor Rahm Emanuel pushed for full organizational support. The policy mandated the formation of an advisory group, led by the city's chief data officer. It meets on a regular basis to discuss each agency's open data goals.
Many government agencies have published policies and implementation plans that can be used for guidance in drafting your own:
These example "Whereas" statements can precede legislative prescriptions or be used as the primary content for a Resolution issued by elected officials:
WHEREAS, the government is committed to using technology to foster open, transparent, and accessible government; and
WHEREAS, the government seeks to provide its citizens with safe and vibrant neighborhoods, great jobs, a strong system of education and innovation, and a high quality of life; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of open data improves provision of services, increases transparency and access to public information, and enhances coordination and efficiencies among departments and partner organizations across the public, nonprofit, and private sectors; and
WHEREAS, it should be easy to do business with the government. Online government interactions mean more convenient services for citizens and businesses and online government interactions improve the cost-effectiveness and accuracy of government operations; and
WHEREAS, an open government also makes certain that every aspect of the built environment has reliable digital descriptions available to citizens and entrepreneurs for deep engagement mediated by smart devices; and
WHEREAS, every citizen has the right to prompt, efficient service from the government; and
WHEREAS, the protection of privacy, confidentiality and security will be maintained as a paramount priority while also advancing the government's transparency and accountability through open data.
WHEREAS, an open data policy will provide benefits that include:

Good dark red with ruby highlights. Complex, vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, pipe tobacco and minerals. Lush, fine-grained and superconcentrated; velvety in texture despite possessing fruit of steel. Much more energy here than the 2007 is showing today. Wonderfully expansive on the subtle, extremely long back end, which features major mellow tannins and superb rising fruit. A great success for this late-bottled cabernet style.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Meze Magic
From Greek tavernas to Israeli cafés (with restaurants in Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, and Lebanon thrown in too), there's a dining option that's tailor-made for soaking up sunsets and cooling off in evening summer breezes. Meze are small dishes of food meant to be shared over a glass of wine, either before the main meal or as a light dinner.
Meze can be anything from a block of feta cheese and a handful of olives served with a glass of wine to an elaborate spread of dips, vegetables, salads, and savory croquettes. The common ingredient is the fun, casual ambiance created when everyone's tasting, talking, and enjoying the moment.

Welcome to Irwell Sculpture Trail. Broken Column - A sculpture project for Rogaland Museum of Fine Arts. What is Broken Column? According to "23 iron sculptures, all 1.95 meters tall, have been placed in and around Stavanger's City Center. Some have been erected outdoors and some inside shops, schools and even a private home. The artwork is made by Antony Gormley, a London-based sculpter also known for "Another Place".
It took 4 years to decide whether or not to place the figures in Stavanger. The project is financed by the Municipality of Stavanger, Stavanger Art Society and Rogaland Art Museum. I first encountered Mr. The sculptures' are all 1.95 tall and they all face 10° west. Please check out Mr. On this page I will present pictures that I have taken of the different sculptures. Juan Muñoz (escultor) Fragmento de la serie de esculturas de Muñoz Thirteen Laughing at Each Other (2001) en Oporto.
Fue el segundo de una familia de siete hermanos. En la década de los setenta viajó a Inglaterra para estudiar en el Croydon College y luego en el Central School of Art and Design. Allí conoció a su esposa, la escultora Cristina Iglesias, con quien tuvo dos hijos. En 1982 viajó a Estados Unidos para estudiar en el Pratt Centre de Nueva York con una beca. Tuvo su primera exposición en 1984 en la galería Fernando Vijande de Madrid. A comienzos de años 1990, Juan Muñoz comenzó a producir obras de carácter "narrativo" -rompiendo los límites de la escultura tradicional- las cuales constan de instalaciones de figuras de tamaño ligeramente inferior al natural en interacción mutua distribuidas en ambientes tanto cerrados como abiertos. Sculpture Park and Museum. Austrian Sculpture Park.
The spectacular ambience of 7 hectars of gardens, designed by the Swiss landscape architect Dieter Kienast, featuring various topographic areas like the forest- or lotusponds, the labyrinth or the rose-gardens, offers visitors the chance to get a general overview of contemporary sculpture; all this only 7 ks south of Graz.
By now the sculpture park hosts up to 60 works from mainly Austrian Artists from different generations, but also important international sculptors have contributed to this collection. Permanent Collection Lotus blossom ponds, rose gardens and plant labyrinths are the "habitats" for more than 60 examples of contemporary sculpture. NewArtCentre. About us. New Art Centre The New Art Centre was founded in 1958.
The original gallery was located in Sloane Street, London. In 1994 it was relocated to Roche Court in Wiltshire, a nineteenth-century house in parkland. The existing house and Orangery were built in 1804. Together with the grounds, Roche Court is now used as a sculpture park and educational centre where work is shown inside and out providing a survey of sculpture for the enjoyment of the public. The New Art Centre represents various artists' estates including Barbara Hepworth, Kenneth Armitage and Ian Stephenson. Gallery at Roche Court The gallery at Roche Court, designed by architect Stephen Marshall, opened in autumn 1998. Artists' House at Roche Court Following the success of the award-winning gallery, the New Art Centre commissioned Stephen Marshall to design a small contemporary house situated in a courtyard at Roche Court.

Discover a magical landscape - The Painted Forest ant the OMA Valley The forest of Oma, one of Basque artist Agustín Ibarrola's best known works, is an example of "land art", a creative trend that first appeared in the 1960s and which seeks to take art to nature and use the countryside as the artist's frame, support and medium.
Figures that appear and transform as you move Walking around the Forest, figures appear and change as you look: although sometimes the painting on a single tree is complete in itself, in other cases you need to observe a set of several trees to see the work whole. Moreover, your perception of the figures varies depending on the point you look from: the figures change and transform as you move. So really you could call this a customized visit, because the artist makes each visitor the protagonist of his work. Untitled Document. Lee jae hyo - Cerca amb Google. CarlAndre. Antony Gormley.

Egbert van Heemskerck the Elder(circa 1635-1704), Artist
Sitter in 2 portraits
Artist associated with 9 portraits
Van Heemskerck was a painter from Haarlem who worked in England from about 1675 until his death. He specialised in a kind of subject matter common in The Netherlands but new to English painting: depictions of groups of ordinary people in comic or vulgar situations, including rowdy tavern scenes, Quaker meetings and school classrooms. He worked at the court of Charles II. He may have been patronised by the extravagant courtier, John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. According to contemporary critics his work also found a flourishing market among 'the waggish collectors and the lower rank of virtuosi'.

"That was one of those plays that was real contact courage," Harbaugh said of Chesson's block. "He just went and made a real, hearty block. I was happy to see that. Darboh is doing the same thing, and Ways is doing the same thing at a higher level than most receivers you're ever going to find."
Tennesee hires Mike DeBord, suddenly starts losing games with huge fourth quarter leads. Dude is the Murder She Wrote of football.
"The Wildcats' endzone might as well be the moon; sure it is possible to go there, and it's been done in the past, but opposing teams are wondering if they have the manpower and the short-sleeved white button-down shirts to engineer a way there and how are they going to convince the government to give them the resources to try in this economy."
Ok, so here's the first of what I hope will be 4 wallpapers for BEAT OHIO week. This one focuses on #21 and The Game. It's so cool to see Roy stepping up at the right time to do the number justice. Now all he has to do to complete his transformation is to BEAT OHIO as #21 and enter Michigan lore. Go Blue, BEAT OHIO! Enjoy!

Living through our lenses
My mom recently came to visit me. Her visit flew by and it felt as soon as she arrived she was already packing to leave
I can't help feel though that the swiftness of her visit was in part my fault. When my mom left I felt I had missed out on something. And in reality I had. I had missed out on living in the moment as I tried too hard to capture the moment. Everywhere we stopped I took a picture at a thousand different angles. I was "click happy."
For instance, during our two-and-a-half hour tour of Alcatraz, I took 300 pictures alone. When we got on the ferry to go back to the mainland, I realized I hadn't looked at the prison once-I had seen the whole tour through the screen of my digital camera.
Later in the week, before my mom left, she was looking at a photo album at my aunt's house. As I looked on I saw a thick album with about 150 pictures spanning a year's time--an engagement party, holidays, a graduation, a dance recital. If someone took a digital camera to each of those events and printed out every single shot taken, they would need at least a dozen albums.
Maybe I'm the only one who's "click-happy," but in my travels to monuments and cities across the globe I know I've seen other people live vicariously through their camera lens and not through their own two eyes. Looking back, the best advice I ever got while traveling is "leave your camera at home - make your own memories."
The digital camera has allowed for great strides in creativity in media arts and flexibility in the work environment. But it's convenience stifles a major part of what really makes memories-togetherness.
I'm not saying we should abandon digital cameras completely. Without cameras, much of history would be undocumented-visual storytelling is one of the finest arts that we need dearly. But the next time my mom comes to visit, I want to spend time with her, not the iPhoto album I upload once she leaves.

Our next meeting is Thursday, September 17th 7:00pm at the The New Coral House in Baldwin. Looking forward to seeing you there. – Rich
Next Meeting, Thursday June 18th (Scholarship Night)
Next Meeting, Thursday June 18th (Scholarship Night)
Not a Prayer!… (?)
The Commencement Exercises for the Jacob Gunther Elementary School were held on June 24, 1992 with this chaplain's name (mine!) listed after the word, "Invocation." Anyone going to the files in that school can still find that program and see my name printed in it – and perhaps never realize that I never got to say a word… or even attend! The poor principal, in some embarrassment, phoned me at 2:00 p.m. that June afternoon and shared the news that the school was now expected to follow the Supreme Court's recent ruling forbidding prayer at a school ceremony and that I should not come to that place at 7:00!
It seems that a certain Daniel and Deborah Weisman of Rhode Island had brought a case against prayer in school to court… and it made it all the way to Washington where the Supreme Court upheld the ban in Lee v. Weisman, making it the law of the land to exclude the prayers.
I recall writing a newsletter article for the congregation I served at the time, explaining that it might be a good thing to spare people from the unwelcome presence of such a thing that sets some of them at odds with others who pray. I shared my experience of prayers attempted at other ceremonies in which the high school graduates made no attempt to hide the beer bottles from which they were drinking (in caps and gowns!) and no disguising their inattention to the words being spoken or to the spirit of respect and consideration. Such deportment troubled, disappointed, and even shocked some standing with dignity while others of the opposite spirit raised a din, while no one in authority ever said or did a thing.
So in this season of the year, when many people of faith remember with thanksgiving the freedoms we enjoy in this nation, where stories of faith can be told without threat of hindrance. There is feasting in the retelling of powerful deliverance from long-term abuse in Egypt (with miraculous establishment of a special people, God's own people – through the sea and into the Promised Land) and the assurance that the Mighty One displays authority that conquers the very fear and sting of death itself in a surprise Third Day that changed defeated and sorrowing followers into bold and confident celebrants of the power of love and new life. How appropriate to pause… and pray.
I marvel that, in this world of so much coarseness and mockery, every meeting of the Long Island Shields includes some moments… of prayer. How unlike so many other groups we are – that we pause in our busy lives and – as a group of friends – share in reflective moments of attention of a Power greater than ourselves. It makes me feel so honored to be included in such a worthy tradition!
JGAnderson, Chaplain
Police Officer of the Month April 2015
This evening we are honored to present the Police Officer of the Month award to four members of the Suffolk County Police Department's 1st Precinct.
On January 12th, 2015 at 0511 hrs an unknown subject entered Steve's Hot Bagels and Bakery at 2142 Deer Park Ave, Deer Park. The subject, described as male white, in his 30's, 5'8", 180 pounds, goatee, black hair wearing beige pants and gray hooded sweatshirt held a black object in the direction of the woman behind the counter and threatened to kill her. He then attempted to get into the cash register and when he couldn't he took the register, containing $500, and fled northbound on foot.
Officers responded to canvass the area to look for a pedestrian matching such description. While checking the area P.O. Aue and P.O. Fuentes in RMP 102A observed an Oldsmobile go through 2 stop signs east on Claremont Ave. Due to the proximity to the robbery the officers deduced that this could possibly be the suspect trying to flee the area. The officers attempted to stop the vehicle for the traffic infractions on Route 231. The operator of the vehicle refused to pull over and sped off at a high rate of speed at which time a lengthy pursuit commenced.
After some time the Officers lost the vehicle. Shortly after P.O. Wildeman and P.O. LoRusso in RMP 114A picked up the vehicle on 5th Ave and Michigan Ave in Brentwood and attempted to stop the car once again. The officers followed the vehicle until the operator crashed into a Jeep Grand Cherokee on Montauk Highway just west of Union Blvd in Great River. The subject, who matched the description of the robbery suspect who was believed to be armed with a gun, exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The subject was caught by the officers after a foot pursuit and was taken into custody P. O. Wildeman for numerous traffic infractions. Soon after a show up was conducted. At 0647 hrs a witness to the robbery positively identified the subject as the perpetrator.
Then at 0650 hrs the victim positively identified the subject as the perpetrator. The subject was then arrested and charged with Robbery in the first degree. The cash register and a rubber black object which the defendant is believed to have used to simulate a gun were located behind hedges at 25 Clinton Ave, Deer Park. The Officers being honored this evening are a great example of how the use of an officer's intelligence, courage and skills can effectively combat violent crimes. These actions are the reason the Shields of Long Island are proud to honor as our Police Officers of the Month Police Officer Thomas Wildeman, Police Officer Nicola LoRusso, Police Officer Russell Aue (oww-e) and Police Officer David Fuentes.
President's Message – April 2015
As I start my message it's 2 weeks before our next general meeting. The calendar says it is spring but no one told this to Mother Nature. Hopefully, this will change by our April 23 meeting date.
Enough about the weather! Let's review some of The Shields upcoming scheduled activities for your enjoyment and participation. What may possibly be the last Ptl. Phil Cardillo motorcycle ride is scheduled for Sunday April 19th. If and when they honor Phil the run will cease.
On Saturday May 23rd we will once again pay tribute to the men and women who served our country, by placing flags on their graves at Long Island National Cemetery in Farmingdale. I hope we see you there.
Thursday to Saturday, May 28th-30th, we will be doing crowd control and security for the Nassau County Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged at the Mitchel Field complex in Uniondale. The smiles on the kids' faces make this effort well worthwhile.
Lastly, Luke Johnson is busy working on the final arrangements for another picnic and LI Ducks baseball game at Bethpage Ballpark in Central Islip on Tuesday July 21st. Details in this edition of the Call Box.
I have recently been made aware of a NYS Thruway EZ pass "phishing" scam. People receive bogus emails allegedly from EZ pass claiming unpaid bills and containing a link to pay this bill. Any Questions, call EZ pass for clarification at 1-800-833-8655.
Hopefully we will see you at the Coral House on April 23rd. As always feel free to bring a potential new member. BE SAFE! Wear your vest.
Next Meeting: Thursday, April 23
Our nest meeting is Thursday, April 23rd, on our home page. Happy Easter!
President's Message: February 2015
Welcome to 2015, let's hope it is better than the end of 2014.
In December the unprovoked, cowardly, vicious ASSASINATIONS of Police Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos shocked the police community, as well as the country. Let us always remember their sacrifice and keep these two fine officers and all police officers in our prayers.
On a much more positive note let us thank both Noele and Mike Villa for the wonderful Children's Christmas Party at The Coral House in Baldwin. The party was well attended and the parents as well as the children had a great time. Thanks go to Bob Forrester for bringing Santa to entertain the kids. Also, our thanks go to Dave Fischer for providing many fun gifts.
Our December meeting was well attended and a great success thanks to our guest speaker Mary Murphy, PIX-11 reporter. Mary spoke of the fight to properly recognize the sacrifice of Ptl. Phil Cardillo. Mary has promised to follow the process until a decision is reached.
I have recently been made aware that what may possibly be the last memorial motorcycle ride to honor to Ptl. Phil Cardillo will be held on Sunday, April 19th.
Hopefully, a street will be named in his honor at the new NYPD academy.
I hope to see you at the February 19 meeting. Bring a potential new member.
Police Officers of the Month November 2014
On Monday June 16th, 2014 Chief Martin Thompson of the Head of the Harbor Police Department was returning from a vacation to Ireland. He was accompanied by his family , including his daughter Colleen Thompson, a Deputy Sheriff in the Suffolk County Sheriffs' Office. With his brother at the wheel of their vehicle the conversation was about the trip.
As they reached the exit from the Southern State Parkway they merged onto the Sagtikos Parkway northbound when they saw a 1994 Buick veer off the road and crash into some trees. Chief Thompson told his brother to stop the car and dial 911. Without hesitation Chief Thompson exited his vehicle and ran to the vehicle to render aid, with his daughter Colleen right behind him. Upon approaching the vehicle they observed an elderly man slumped over in the front seat. They immediately saw flames coming from the undercarriage of the vehicle and realized the seriousness of the situation. Deputy Thompson was able to enter the backseat of the vehicle and began to calm and reassure the victim help was on the way. The elderly occupant of the vehicle, later identified as Sam Parkins 85 yrs. old of Wyandanch, was reporting he was in severe pain and asked that he not be moved. Chief Thompson's attempt to open the door was unsuccessful, he then found a large rock and broke the window , knowing that the victim had to be extricated as quickly as possible due the growing flames. At this point a retired NYC firefighter arrived on the scene and together all three first responders were able to lift the victim out of the flaming car to safety. Mr. Parkins was removed to Stony Brook Hospital with a broken pelvis, two broken legs and chest injuries.
There is no doubt the actions of Chief Thompson, his daughter Deputy Sheriff Colleen Thompson and the retired NYC firefighter saved the life of Mr. Parkins. Their quick decisive actions in spite of grave personal danger are a tribute to their bravery and devotion to duty , dedication to their community and compassion for others in time of need.
It is for these reasons the Long Island Shields are proud to name them as the Police Officers of the month.
Chaplain's Message: February 2015
When Sir Robert Peel decided to form the first London Metropolitan Police Department, 1829 he wanted to recruit the best men that the city had to offer. While serving as England's Home Secretary he was responsible for reorganizing the criminal and penal codes. This resulted in the passing of the Metropolitan Police Act, which established the first professional police force in Great Brittan.
It was in the local newspapers and neighborhoods that he posted the announcement below.
"I want you for PEELS' Police"
You must be aged between 23-40 years of age.
You will be paid the following rates:
CONSTABLE – 17 shillings per week *
SERGEANT – 1 pound l shilling per week.
SUPERINTENDENT – 3 pounds 10 shillings per week.
CHIEF CONSTABLE – 13 pounds 10 shillings per week.
* Note: (20 Shillings equals 1 Pound, today $1.50 USD…..much less then !!)
Working hours will be eight ten or twelve hour shifts, seven days a week. No rest days are allowed and only one week holiday per annum, unpaid.
Every encouragement will be given to officers to grow beards as shaving is regarded as unhealthy. However beards must not exceed two inches in length.
Uniform will be worn at all times to prevent accusations of spying on the public whilst in ordinary clothes. A duty band will be worn to indicate whether or not you are on duty.
You are NOT allowed to vote in elections.
You must NOT gossip with the public. In particular avoid conversations with female servants or other women on duty. Do not walk or converse with your comrades, merely exchange a word and pass on. You will walk about 20 miles per shift.
No meal breaks are allowed. The top hat may be used to hold a snack. You must inform the Superintendent before you associate, eat or drink with any civilians. You are NOT allowed to sit down in public houses at any time.
Before attending for medical examination and interview to join the police, it is advisable to have a bath.
You must expect a hostile reception from all sections of the public and be prepared to be assaulted, stoned or stabbed in the course of your duties.
With the exception of the last sentence (in bold), a lot has changed in the manner and mode of policing! I would venture to say, that 175 years ago, Robert Peel never envisioned the height of lawlessness that law enforcement has to deal with in today's world. Perhaps that is why the local Police Constable in London today does not carry a firearm. Given what is currently happening in Europe, that too may soon change. But here in the United States, we have a proliferation of firearms, legal and illegal, that sometimes rivals the best firearms that are issued to our police officers, to protect themselves and the citizens in their charge. But defensive weapons are only tools in a box, to be used only when appropriate and necessary, in order to do the job.
While most ordinary citizens and groups in our nation respect the police and their profession, sadly, there are those who do not. Support for law enforcement must first come from the citizens themselves, and those they elect to insure support through official legislation. One of Peel's "Nine Principles of Policing" states: "The degree of cooperation of the public that can be secured, diminishes proportionately to the necessity of the use of physical force."
In my view, no amount of money can be enough to pay someone, who leaves his or her family and home in the morning or evening, straps on a duty belt, dons a vest, and wonders whether they will be able to return to that home safe and sound when the shift is done! That's what 99% of police officers do, day in and day out, in all kinds of weather conditions, placing themselves in harms' way to protect all of us from violence and danger. Indeed, it is time for ordinary citizens to speak up, and speak out, when police officers become targets for vile rhetoric and abuse by individuals and factions, whose only motive is to create discord and disharmony, and undermine our justice system. Why does it take the Line of Duty Death of a police Officer to bring out public displays of support? Why not display honor and pride for law enforcement when we are all calm and secure?
I am reminded of the words of a former President of the United States, who was also once a Police Commissioner for New York City Police Department. In speaking of officers, who have done difficult things under difficult circumstances, he said;" "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows, in the end, triumph of high achievement; and at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly." And in speaking about the role and dignity of the police profession, he said: " No man is worth his salt, who is not ready at all times to risk his body, to risk his well-being, to risk his life in a great cause."… "Far and away the best prize that life offers, is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." Truly, in law enforcement we are all doing God's work, and that indeed, is work worth doing!
This article is dedicated to the Memory of NYPD Officers Ramos and Liu.
Next Meeting: February 19, 2015
Hello Everyone – This is just a reminder that our next meeting is Thursday, February 19th at The Coral House is Baldwin.
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
We look forward to seeing you there.
– Richie

THURSDAY, Jan. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Performing small acts of kindness and gratitude can make people happier, researchers believe, but how this occurs is more of a puzzle.
Sonja Lyubomirsky, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, has studied happiness for more than 20 years. She and others know that positive activities boost positive emotions, thoughts and behavior, in turn improving well-being.
Now, how people can deliberately change their thinking and practices to bliss out to the max is her focus.
"I have evidence that the dosage of an activity is important," she said.
Reviewing past studies on happiness, including some of her own research, Lyubomirsky concluded there is no single prescription for happiness-boosting acts of kindness.
Variety, frequency and motivation all play a role, she said.
How often you perform the behaviors influences happiness, Lyubomirsky found, but not always in the way you may think. Studying the effect of counting your blessings on happiness, for instance, she found doing so once a week was ideal for making people happier.
"Doing it three times a week gave no extra benefit," she said.
Her research, presented at the recent annual meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in New Orleans, found that performing other positive acts once a week led to the most happiness. That could be because many routines, such as worshipping and even TV, occur weekly, she said.
Performing a variety of kind and grateful behaviors helps maximize happiness, too, whereas repeatedly doing the same act of kindness may lose its ability to boost happiness, she said.
"We did one study where we had people do acts of kindness over 10 weeks," she said. The acts could be similar or varied. For instance, someone who usually refused to take out the trash might offer to do so. That made th
