About the exhibition
The exhibition returns to the sources of tattooing and presents the renewal of this phenomenon in its now permanent and globalised manifestation. In so-called "primitive" societies from the Oriental, African and Oceanian worlds, tattooing has a social, religious and mystical role and accompanies the subject in their rites of passage, including them in the community. Conversely, in the West, they have been seen as a mark of infamy, criminality, a circus attraction (with the phenomenon of side shows) and as a mark of identity for urban tribes.
During the first half of the 20th century, tattooing developed within marginal circles and remained a somewhat clandestine sign until being over-exposed by the media. Today, publicity and fashion take inspiration from these codes. Today, this geographical and antinomian approach is disappearing: in traditional societies, tattooing has lost its ritual exclusivity; in urban societies and in the "westernised" lifestyle, its marginal character is fading and it is becoming a relatively common bodily ornament.
University researchers have already examined the ethnological and anthropological values of tattooing, before exploring the sociological landscape and psychological meanings. Universities have recently been studying the popularisation of the practice in the urban environment, which establishes the body as a support for self-affirmation. But the artistic field and that of contemporary history remain to be explored. These are the domains explored by the exhibition, which offers a new insight into tattooing. In addition to the history of tattooing and its strong anthropological roots, it also emphasises the artistic nature of the practice, exchanges between tattooists from across the world and the emergence of syncretic styles.
Some of the works presented in the exhibition may be unsuitable for viewing by sensitive or younger visitors.

Exhibition synopsis
The exhibition is divided into five main sections:
From global to marginal
The exhibition begins with a map of tattooed people across the world, showing the vast extent of tattooing from Antiquity to the present day.
The exhibition presents the omnipresent nature and diversity of tattooing practices across the world. It traces the history of tattooing, ranging from the Chalcolithic period (3350-3100 B.C.) - during which the Europeans appeared to have practised therapeutic forms of tattooing - until the 20th century, in which tattooing has become a means of communication, or a sign of membership within a group. It also focusses on the different social contexts, spanning the 19th century circus sideshows during which tattooed bodies were exhibited, through to the ethnic groups for whom tattoos indicate identity and social status.
Tattooists, tattooed and significant facts are brought together chronologically, in the style of a wall of fame to retrace the history of tattooing.
An art in movement
This section evokes the roots of tattooing in three creative areas: Japan, North America and Europe.
In Japan, tattooing was first a punitive tool used by the military powers, becoming discreetly ornamental in 17th century society and reaching its peak in the early 19th century. Tattooing is closely linked to that of engravings (ukiyo-e).
In North America, although tattooing was practised by a few Amerindian tribes, Martin Hildebrandt opened the first official tattooing shop in New York in 1846, and Samuel O'Reilly developed the electric tattooing machine in 1881.
In Europe, we find ancient traces of tattooing among the Romans and Picts, before it was repressed by Christianity until the 19th century.
new skin: the renewal of traditional tattooing
Tattooing for traditional, ethnographic, tribal or magic purposes also underwent a revolution. As a result of constant exchanges thanks to the development of transportation and tourism, the practice of traditional tattooing was influenced by a variety of outside influences. This section examines the renewal of these practises and their modern developments, concentrating particularly on the new schools of tattooing and the great masters of the following regions: New Zealand, Samoa, Polynesia (the Marquesas Islands, Tahiti, Hawaii), Borneo, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand.
New territories of the world
The constant emergence of new schools indicates the dynamism of contemporary tattooing. In China where traditional and contemporary models are blended, the art of tattooing has recently resurfaced while Latino and Chicano tattooing takes its inspiration from popular Americano-Mexican iconography.
New inking styles
To conclude the exhibition, eight photographs of tattoos representing a new generation of tattooists illustrate original forms, compositions and characteristics. The film Mainstream Mode examines current trends.
Novel works
In addition, 32 works specifically produced for the exhibition are presented:
- 13 tattoos or imaginary projects have been produced by masters of the art – representatives of contemporary tattooing – on volumes representing legs, torsos and arms in silicone ;
- Blank canvases have been given to 19 tattooists from across the world in order to carry out tattooing projects. In the classic application of the Japanese bodysuit – a costume of traditional tattoos covering the body from wrists to ankles – tattooists have carried out these projects on canvas, with ink, acrylics, watercolors, graphite pencil or felt tip, to a more or less realistic extent.

Projected budget gap either bad or REALLY bad
By Chris Bragg
Is this year's budget gap in Colorado a whopping $604 million or a manageable $77 million? That depends on which report you read.
In competing reports that came out Dec. 19, the non-partisan Colorado Legislative Council cited the big figure, the governor's office the much smaller one.
Legislative Council Chief Economist Todd Herreid tried to explain to lawmakers at a hearing Monday Dec. 22 why he estimates that the shortfall will be almost six times higher than the governor's office thinks it will be.
Calling the disparity between the reports "concerning," Herreid told the Committee on Job Creation and Economic Growth that the Legislative Council had projected much lower revenues from 2008 capital gains taxes than the governor's office projected. That accounts for $250 million to $300 million of the difference between the estimates, he said.
The authors of the two wildly different reports will work together over the coming weeks to determine which is correct. If Herreid's more pessimistic projection is accurate, it could impose further limitations on what the committee — and the Legislature — can do this session to create new jobs.
Republicans certainly were prepped to believe the more pessimistic predictions. They'd warned of a coming recession as they'd tried to cut spending in last year's budget.
"The dark clouds of recession have been looming for many months," said incoming Senate Minority Leader Josh Penry, R-Fruita, in a statement. "The Legislature should steel itself for very difficult budget times, and ignore naïve forecasts of sunny days and blue skies."
One piece of good news is that neither revenue forecast accounted for the likelihood of an economic stimulus from the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama.
And tapping into the state's savings could further cushion the blow.
But there will be cuts or "pain," as several legislators described it. Department heads already are required to cut their budgets by 2.5 percent. In addition, funding for state employees, higher education, capital construction and transportation projects could go on the chopping block.
And so could four proposed job-creation projects recently laid out by Gov. Bill Ritter. The proposals would offer tax breaks for companies creating 20 or more new positions, give $2.5 million for private banks to use to help unfreeze the credit market, designate $1 million for workforce training in "green" jobs and put $1.4 million into economic development incentives for clean energy companies.
Many Republicans, however, say the problem is not a lack of skilled workers, but rather a lack of jobs — and that the money would be better spent on a tax cut.
At the hearing Monday, Governor's Office of Economic Development Director Don Elliman said he thought at least some of Ritter's proposals would be "revenue neutral" — because any spending would be offset by added tax revenue created by the incentives — and that he feels they all should be implemented by the Legislature, despite the bleak economic forecast.
"I would hope that we'd be able to keep some or most of these," he said.
That sentiment was echoed by Sen.-elect Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, who added that he would introduce a bill this session allocating $800,000 to promote clean energy jobs.
"I would think this is really the time to invest. If we're not investing in jobs, then I don't know what we're going to invest in," Heath said.
Elliman noted that, compared to most states, Colorado's ability to stimulate the economy is limited. The state is constitutionally required to balance its budget, it is not allowed to issue bonds, and the TABOR amendment requires a public vote to increase taxes.
"We're sort of in a fiscal Gordian knot. And that's not going to change," Elliman said.
To best use limited resources, he favors Ritter's proposal to give a tax break to companies creating 20 or more jobs. He says he likes the idea because it would stimulate certain industries that wouldn't create those jobs without the credit — in contrast with existing programs he considers less efficient, such as Enterprise Zones, which provide tax incentives based on the location of a business.
Sen. Gail Schwartz, D-Snowmass, who chairs the job creation committee, said because money is limited, the panel probably will have to focus on speeding up projects that already have money allocated to them and on tax incentives, rather than on creating new programs with new price tags.
In other words, no one knows how much the Colorado Legislature can do this session to dull the economic pain. Rep. Joe Rice, D-Littleton, said part of the long-term answer would be new taxes and new fees that could create jobs by funding transportation projects.
"There are many people's lives that are going to be hurt — or in some cases, ruined — because of what we are not going to be able to fund anymore," Rice said.

A great review from a food critic is typically a blessing for the pizzeria owner whose business soars following the report. But such good press went nearly for naught when Sid's Pizza in Alpharetta, Ga., got a nod of praise from a local paper. As business boomed after the story, owner Stan Kurnett's oven struggled to match the pace of customer demand.
"The oven we had was breaking down constantly, and we knew we needed to take the plunge and get something better," Kurnett said. "We wanted to do as many pizzas a day as Domino's and Papa John's, so we knew we didn't want a deck oven. But we still wanted the bake you get from that."
"The fact that it has two separate doors is one of the best parts of the design," Kurnett said. "One guy loads the oven and another guy pulls the pizzas out and cuts them. That makes the kitchen more efficient because no one has to walk in front of another."
Charlie Digristina faced the same number of challenges Kurnett did, and he knew an oven upgrade was necessary. But while a hearth-baked crust was essential to his pizzas, adding more deck ovens wasn't an option because of space constraints in his pizzeria.
"We knew we couldn't have made the change from decks to a Roto-Flex if our quality was going to change," said Digristina, whose 5-unit Charlie's Pizza Plus is located in Utica, N.Y. "But I think it increased the quality because we get so much more of an even bake all the way through, and we still get the hearth bake."
Let sales make the decision
Roto-Flex representative Richard Dunfield said the decision to buy one of his company's ovens isn't easy for operators concerned about the price. But price shouldn't be the deciding factor, he said, if and when business warrants a higher-capacity unit.
"When we say that a Roto-Flex costs $25,000 to $35,000, some say, 'I can't afford, that,'" Dunfield said. "But I tell them that if their business is growing, they can't avoid it because they're turning business away if they can't keep up. And we see that happening all the time."
While adding more deck ovens might be an option for some pizzerias, it's not for most because of the floor space required. Digristina said his Roto-Flex consumes just a bit more space than a single deck oven, but provides far greater capacity.
"It has the same capacity as four deck ovens but doesn't take up nearly the space," he said. "Also, you need someone very experienced to handle a deck oven in a high-volume place like ours. But since a Roto-Flex rotates the pies by itself, it's a hundred times easier to operate."

Catalyst::Controller::JMS - controller base class to simplify usage of Catalyst::ActionRole::JMS
version 1.1
package MyApp::Controller::Something; use Moose; BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller::JMS' } __PACKAGE__->config( namespace => 'queue/my_queue', ); sub my_message_type :MessageTarget { my ($self,$c) = @_; my $body = $c->req->data; my $headers = $c->req->headers; # do something $c->res->header('X-Reply-Address' => 'temporary-queue-name'); $c->stash->{message} = { some => [ 'reply', 'message' ] }; return; }
This controller base class makes it easy to handle JMS-style messages in your Catalyst application. It handles deserialisation and serialisation transparently (thanks to Catalyst::Action::Deserialize and Catalyst::Action::Serialize) and sets up the attributes needed by Catalyst::ActionRole::JMS. It also sets up some sensible default configuration.
__PACKAGE__->config( stash_key => 'message', default => 'application/json', map => { 'application/json' => 'JSON', 'text/x-json' => 'JSON', }, );
See Catalyst::Action::Deserialize and Catalyst::Action::Serialize for what this means.
If you set the
MessageTarget attribute on an action, it will be marked for dispatch based on the JMSType of incoming messages. More precisely:
sub my_message_type :MessageTarget { }
is equivalent to:
sub my_message_type : Does('Catalyst::ActionRole::JMS') JMSType('my_message_type') { }
sub my_action :MessageTarget('my_type') { }
is equivalent to:
sub my_action : Does('Catalyst::ActionRole::JMS') JMSType('my_type') { }
If you want to have a
default action to catch requests not matching any other action, you have to declare it as:
sub default :Default { }
otherwise dispatch may not work properly, see http://lists.scsys.co.uk/pipermail/catalyst/2012-March/028261.html for some attempts at an explanation
De-serialises the body of the request into
$ctx->req->data. See Catalyst::Action::Deserialize for details.
$ctx->stash->{message} into the response body. See Catalyst::Action::Serialize for details.
NOTE: if
$ctx->stash->{message} is not a reference, it will be wrapped in an arrayref. Some Catalyst::Action::Serialize plugins don't like serialising plain scalars.
You can find examples of use in the tests, or at https://github.com/dakkar/CatalystX-StompSampleApps

NORTH KINGSTOWN – Debbie Goodwin followed her father in some major aspects of life: she took up an instrument and, as a teen, joined her dad in the Lafayette Band; she chose the same career path, too, logging 22 years in the U.S. Navy; and like, her dad, she met her spouse in the service, too.
It is a military family with a musical flourish.
Her dad, the late Robert Rice, retired as a Navy Lieutenant Commander; her mom, Nettie, was in the Navy Nurses Corps for eight years during World War II. Debbie's husband, Tom, retired after a combined 29-and-a-half years in the Navy and Marine Corps.
"I paralleled Dad," she reflects, "In the 1930s, he had a dance band when he was in high school. Then he became career Navy; he was a pilot in World War II and Korea. He had been here, at Quonset, but retired in Tennessee. He and Mom decided to return here."
As he pursued a second career in real estate, Debbie recalls, her father had a sudden yearning to start playing his trombone again. "He hadn't played for 21 years, but he started again and joined the Lafayette Band. He loved playing with them."
Meanwhile, starting in seventh grade, Debbie began playing the flute. "I wanted to play trombone, but Dad said it was too big," she laughs. "My parents, bless their hearts, came to all the concerts."
Her high school band director was Joe Pelosi, who also led the Lafayette Band, so it was only a matter of time before Debbie signed on to play with that ensemble, too. "My dad and I played together for two or three years. The Wednesday night practice concerts were fun."
She also played piccolo with the Kentish Guards militia band in the 1960s and '70s. "I remember marching in the Bristol [Fourth of July] Parade."
Debbie, who earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Rhode Island and a master's in management through the National-Louis University, is a graduate of Officer Candidate School in Newport.
Retiring with the rank of Commander, her impressive record includes the posts of public affairs officer for Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, speech writer for the commander in chief of the Atlantic Fleet, commanding officer of the Military Sealift Command Office in Pusan, Korea and operations officer on the staff of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services.
When she and her husband retired to a beautiful home in the Annaquatucket area, Debbie – as her father had earlier – returned to music. "I took the flute up again and then I ran into Joe Pelosi at Dave's Market. He invited me back to the Lafayette Band."
Three years ago she began studying in earnest, taking lessons from Gina Seraichyk of Roberts Music. "I practice an hour to 90 minutes every night; my Lafayette Band and personal music," says Debbie.
She even treated herself to something special: a new flute. "It's terrific to play. After my old flute that I played 30 years ago, it's like driving a Jaguar after a Volkswagen Beetle."
The Lafayette Band, which has about 45 members – a dozen of them women – will present "An Armed Forces Salute" at 7 p.m. Saturday in the North Kingstown High School auditorium. The grand entrance and opening flag ceremony will be performed by members of the military, veterans and Naval Sea Cadet units.
The program also includes military memorial ceremonies and a display of military history and equipment. Free-will donations, accepted at the door, will support band operations and the Disabled Veterans of Rhode Island.
Besides martial music, the presentation will include "The Homefront: Musical Memories from World War II", songs of Glenn Miller, selections from South Pacific and James Swearingen's "An American Portrait."
"There's a Dixieland Band in the middle," says Debbie.
As vice-president of the 125-year-old Lafayette Band, she is on the hunt for new members. "We welcome players from all levels; those who used to play. We only ask for a commitment of time.
"Personally, it's extremely rewarding to be in a group like this."

Confocal Raman Imaging
Improving Overall Sensitivity of Confocal Raman Imaging
Dark Noise
Readout Noise
Raman Imaging with EMCCD
About WITec
Confocal microscopy is an optical imaging technique that employs a point light source (laser), which is directed onto the sample. The same objective usually collects the reflected (fluorescence) light, which is focused into a pinhole in front of the detector. This is made to make sure that only light from the image focal plane reaches the detector, which considerably increases image contrast; resolution can also be increased with appropriate selection of pinhole size.
Particularly in confocal Raman imaging, the acquisition time for one Raman spectrum is very important because it influences the acquisition time of the image which normally includes thousands of Raman spectra. This article illustrates how the use of a spectroscopic EMCCD as the detector can considerably reduce the acquisition time down to a few milliseconds per spectrum, while enhancing sensitivity.
In confocal Raman imaging, as in WITec's alpha300R system, unique filters are utilized to restrain the reflected laser light while allowing the Raman scattered light to be detected with a combination of CCD camera and spectrometer. In order to acquire an image, thousands of spectra are obtained in an extremely short time with less than 100ms integration time per spectrum. However, since the Raman scattering cross section is small and the excitation power is restricted to a few milliwatts, it becomes challenging to enhance the overall sensitivity of a confocal Raman system.
To improve the overall sensitivity of confocal Raman imaging, the first step is to enhance the collected Raman signal. This can be achieved by optimizing the throughput of the spectrometer and microscope and also by utilizing an objective with a high numerical aperture. The confocal arrangement helps in reducing unwanted background signal and further improves signal-to-noise ratio. To this end, a number of factors have to be considered to improve the overall sensitivity. These factors include dark noise, readout noise, and selection of an appropriate detector.
Dark noise usually occurs on account of thermally generated carriers in the CCD, which can be significantly reduced by cooling the CCD. Since a good CCD exhibits a thermal dark current of less than 0.01 electrons/pixel/second at -60°C, cooling below -60°C is not needed for integration times of a few seconds.
Camera manufacturers specify the readout noise, which is given in electrons. Standard values are 5-10 electrons for a 50kHz readout rate to approximately 30 electrons at 2.5MHz readout rate. When the readout noise surpasses the photon shot noise, the signal is believed to be readout noise limited. In typical spectroscopic experiments, the integration time is increased to obtain sufficient signal so as to ensure that the signal is shot noise limited again. However, in confocal Raman microscopy, this is not always possible.
Choosing an appropriate detector with the highest sensitivity is very important. Dark noise and the readout noise are the main sources of noise of the detector. The aim must be to remove all noise sources so that only the noise of the photon shot remains.
For integration times of below 100ms, such as in the confocal Raman set-up, the dark current is entirely negligible. Readout noise, which is created while changing the collected electrons into digital counts, is restricted by the speed of the readout process and the quality of the CCD´s readout amplifier.
An electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) is a standard back-illuminated CCD with an extra readout register which is driven with a higher clock voltage than a normal CCD readout register. Owing to this high clock voltage, an electron multiplication via impact ionization is obtained by amplifying the signal up to 1000 times. With this arrangement, it is possible to increase the signal higher than the readout noise so that the signal-to-noise ratio is always restricted by the Poisson noise of the signal, even if an extremely fast readout amplifier is employed. For instance, a 1600 x 200 pixel EMCCD with a 2.5MHz readout amplifier can be read out in just 2.3ms.
For higher signals, wherein the intensity of signal is not readout limited, the excess noise factor of the EM process reduces the EMCCD's signal-to-noise ratio to less than that of a standard CCD. In such cases, the EM register can be switched off and the "normal" readout register is utilized.
Figure 1. a-c: Confocal Raman images of a 7.1 nm thin PMMA layer on glass obtained in the CH2 stretching band around 3000 / cm. Scale bar: 10 µm. Fig. 1d: Schematic of the sample 30 x 50 µm, 100 x 80 pixel = 8000 spectra, 110 ms/spectrum.
The middle image i.e. Figure 1b depicts the same part of the sample imaged with an EMCCD with a gain of approximately 250. The image demonstrates almost the same signal-to-noise ratio, but now the integration time was only 3.6ms, which is 10X faster than Figure 1a. For Figure 1a, the complete image acquisition took 25 minutes while it took only 3.4 minutes for Figure 1b. The EMCCD was used to take Figure 1c, but now with the same integration time as in Figure 1a. One can obviously see the scratch and contamination by way of a needle-like structure across the glass surface and PMMA. Figure 1d illustrates a sketch of the sample.
Figure 2. Comparison of confocal Raman images acquired with different settings of the EMCCD gain.
In Figure 2, the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal from the CH2 stretching band of the PMMA is plotted against the EMCCD gain.
Thus, with the help of an EMCCD camera, speed and detection efficiency can be greatly increased, particularly for the short integration times required with a confocal Raman microscope. The distribution of a 7.1 nm PMMA can be easily identified with an integration time of 7ms per spectrum, which considerably reduced the overall acquisition time to 5.4 minutes for a 200 x 200 spectra confocal Raman image.
For larger signals, the electron multiplying circuit can be switched off and all properties of a normal back-illuminated CCD are maintained., while for extremely small signals the EMCCD can greatly enhance the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 5 -10.

Central Volleyball Wins Two in Own Classic Friday
Posted By Sports On September 25, 2010 @ 5:55 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Defense was the difference as the Central College volleyball team rolled up a pair of wins at its own Central Classic Friday evening. The Dutch opened by defeating Buena Vista in four games, then swept Illinois Wesleyan to improve to 10-3. Pella junior Haley Brillhart had nine kills in the win over Buena Vista and led the team hitting .400 against Illinois Weslyan, Chelsea Grieger also a junior from Pella had a match high 13 digs against Buena Vista and 19 digs against Illinois Weslyan. Central completes play in the four-team tourney with an 11 a.m. match against Rockford at Kuyper Gym.

John le Carre was in the Security Services before he started writing spy novels. Andy McNab was in the SAS before he started his career as an action novel writer. Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus, who wrote The Nanny Diaries, both used to be nannies.
There are lots of examples of authors working extensively in a particular field before starting to write novels that draw on the experience they gained in their course of their work. Equally, however, there are plenty more examples of authors who have never worked a day in the kind of work their characters do – and yet they still manage to make great careers out of their writing.
So this raises the question: is it necessary to do practical, hands-on research for your novel?
In most cases, I would say probably not, if only because it's not always very practical. After all, if you're writing about a character with multiple postgraduate degrees who works as a brain surgeon/rocket scientist/world-renowned academic or similar, there's very little chance that working in the field is going to happen for you (unless, of course, it just so happens to be your current/former career, in which case, hurrah!). However, getting a feel for different jobs or environments can be useful for novels, and so a bit of work shadowing or even just talking to people who work in the industry can be useful to get a grounding in subjects that are necessary for your book.
Researching novels can also be a great way to have a go at things you've always wanted to try, and a bit of real life knowledge can go a long way, so it certainly can have its benefits to get involved in practical research.
How much research you ultimately do will depend on what kind of writer you are. Some people like to have a thorough understanding of something before attempting to write about it, and that will naturally lead to much more research than if you prefer just to get straight into things. On reflection, in some cases it's probably much better if you don't do any practical research before starting to write your book.
If you're writing about a serial killer, for example… That could be awkward.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Catholic Relief Services, Baltimore, MD, USA
I have suported CRS since 2000, and believed it to be an organization that spent its income wisely and one that respected the dignity of human life regardless of income, status, or circumstance.
My parents have donated to CRS every year for the past 7 years. This morning, I received my first telemarketing call from CRS, and the caller's crassness made it clear to me that the organization does not respect human dignity.
I told the telemarketer that my father was deceased, after which the caller again demanded that I tell her whether my father would send a check. I then told her that my father was dead, at which point the caller requested permission to retain him on her list.
I contacted Donor Relations and was told my mother and father's names would be removed from correspondence, but that CRS hired paid telemarketers on a regular basis.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has produced the debt predictions for the year 2014 given below. The chart is from the 27 March - 2 April 2010 issue of The Economist. The bar graph plot is actually of the increase in the national debt from 2007 to the projected debt of 2014, which is given in the small boxes on the right as a percent of the nations GDPs.
Kudos belong to Canada, which has been much wiser in managing its economy throughout this recession. It is increasing its national debt by only about 5% from 2007 to 2014 and its 2014 national debt will be a mere 69% of its GDP. That should position Canada for solid growth in the near future and leave Canadians much less burdened with debt and the interest on that debt than the wayward Americans to the south. It looks as though I would be wise to shift some of my retirement investment to Canada, where it may be safer and have better prospects for growth.

Managing Stress after Job Loss
What You Need to Know:
It is very normal to feel several emotions after learning your job had ended involuntarily. More than financial security a job provides us with professional and personal identity, daily and social structure, and gives many people a purpose for activity. Even though your job loss occurred through no fault of your own, you may feel some loss of self-esteem, or that somehow you have failed, and it can be difficult to tell your friends and family. It's important to acknowledge those feelings should you have them, but it's also important to process those feelings in a way that allows you to focus productively on the future.
Grief is Normal
Grief is a natural response to loss, including that of a job. You may feel a variety of emotions on any given day including anger, sadness, hurt, panic, rejection and fear. This is normal and to be expected. You have every right to feel the way you do so go easy on yourself. Fear, anxiety and depression will make getting back in the job market more difficult, so it is important to manage your feelings effectively and grieve in a healthy manner.
- Write about your feelings. This can be cathartic as you may be able to express yourself in a way that is difficult for you to do aloud. Note your feelings about being unemployed and what it means to your situation.
- Accept the reality of the situation. While acknowledging your feelings and situation it's important to avoid dwelling too long on negative emotions. Try to accept your situation and begin figuring out your next move.
- Challenge your negative thoughts. Try not to put yourself or your abilities down. It's important to focus on your strengths and how to utilize those for your job search and day to day well being.
Acknowledging your feelings and challenging negative thoughts will help you deal with your loss and begin to move forward.
Ways to Manage the Stress of Job Loss
Reach Out.
Be open to support and discussions from a variety of resources. Find networking and support groups for those experiencing similar situations. For links to local groups try the following links:
Involve Your Family.
Unemployment affects the whole family, so communicating with one another is essential. Talk with your family and involve them, when possible, in major decisions. Trying to keep your situation a secret can cause unnecessary worry and stress for other members of your family. Talk about job search plans and let them know how they can support you while you are unemployed. Talking with your children can be especially difficult but very important. To learn about some tips in this area, this article offers some helpful tips.
Take Care of Yourself.
While your focus may be job searching making time for hobbies and enjoyable activities is still important. Exercise regularly; it's a great stress management activity and can boost your energy and mood. Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep as a good night sleep can help manage stress levels and focus during the day. Finally practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing. Some helpful resources you might consider are helpful tips for restful sleep, and two articles on deep breathing and relaxation, which you can find here and here.

|Diagnostic performance of planar scintigraphy using (99m)Tc-MIBI in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism: a meta-analysis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22875577 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: Parathyroid scintigraphy using (99m)Tc-MIBI is not currently considered a valuable diagnostic tool for the localization of involved glands in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). However, published data about its diagnostic accuracy are discordant and a meta-analysis about this topic is still lacking. The aim of our study is to meta-analyze the published data about the diagnostic performance of (99m)Tc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with SHPT. METHODS: A comprehensive computer literature search of studies published in PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Embase databases through September 2011 and regarding the diagnostic accuracy of (99m)Tc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy in patients with SHPT was carried out. Only articles in English language in which at least 10 patients with SHPT underwent planar (99m)Tc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy were selected. Pooled sensitivity, pooled specificity and area under the ROC curve on a per lesion-based analysis were calculated to measure the diagnostic accuracy of (99m)Tc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy in SHPT patients. RESULTS: Twenty-four studies comprising 471 patients were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of (99m)Tc-MIBI parathyroid scintigraphy in detecting hyperplastic glands in SHPT patients were 58 % [95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) 52-65 %] and 93 % (95 % CI 85-100 %), respectively, on a per lesion-based analysis. Area under ROC curve was 0.75. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with SHPT and diffuse or nodular hyperplasia, planar parathyroid scintigraphy using (99m)Tc-MIBI has demonstrated an inadequate diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, it should not be considered as a first-line diagnostic imaging method in the pre-surgical detection of hyperplastic parathyroid glands.

Bristol Rovers: TRASHorfield refused permission to appeal dismissal of judicial review
Posted: March 26, 2014|
PRESSURE group TRASHorfield has been refused permission to appeal against a High Court judge's decision to dismiss a judicial review into a new Sainsbury's at Bristol Rovers' Memorial Ground.
Earlier today it was announced that Bristol Rovers' hopes of going ahead with their new stadium had been stalled again.
TRASHorfield had decided to seek permission to appeal against last week's High Court ruling.
The judge quashed an application by the group which claimed that councillors had been misled before giving planning permission for a Sainsbury's supermarket at the club's existing ground in Horfield.

The judge had seven days to decide whether to give permission for the appeal to go ahead to a full hearing but Bristol City Council has already been told that permission has been refused.
However, there is now another seven day window in which TRASHorfield can apply to appeal this decision.
Judge Mr Justice Hickinbottom stated that any application to the Court of Appeal must be made by 4pm on April 2.
A Bristol City Council spokesman said: "We are pleased to hear that permission to appeal has been refused.
"Although there is now another week in which TRASHorfield can appeal this finding, we hope that they will accept what are two very clear decisions."
A Bristol Rovers spokeswoman said: "We are extremely pleased that Mr Justice Hickinbottom has made a quick response to TRASH and refused them the permission to appeal.
"We are also glad he has set down time limit for them to go to the Court of Appeal, as this will ensure this matter can be dealt with quickly as possible and prevent any further delay to the project."
Bristol Mayor George Ferguson said he was "disappointed" that TRASHorfield had made the decision to appeal in the first place, saying that it was "very unwise" and left the club in further limbo.
He added: "I shall be meeting Nick Higgs tomorrow, when I was hoping he would have the all clear to proceed with the new stadium."
Diana Scrafton, spokeswoman for TRASHorfield, told the Post the judge's refusal was expected and that she could not comment on whether the group would now make an application to the Court of Appeal.

The first couple of years were tough, but I have gradually learned that the key to minimizing the stress of my job lies in recognizing and operating within the parameters of my role, which, as I view it, is twofold: I am a counselor and an advocate. clients in person at the border. My ability to understand how adjudicators evaluate applications has deeply influenced the way I represent clients in person, as well as on paper. That is, I refuse to submit a case that offends logic or would fail the sniff test of a seasoned government official. As a counselor, my only job is to advise my clients. That is nothing more than researching all the options available to the clients and explaining the consequences that could flow from each one. Sometimes, options are limited and the results straightforward, but other times, the possibilities branch out in all directions. The most important thing to keep in mind is that the clients ultimately decide which way to go. Some clients ask me what I would do if I were in their shoes, and with some disclaimers, I explain what I'd do and why. These hypothetical situations sometimes help the clients choose an option. Whatever consequences flow from the clients' choices are theirs to bear. As long as I have provided the clients with accurate information, I have done my job. Recognizing that fact takes an enormous burden off of my shoulders. "Whatever consequences flow from the clients' choices are theirs to bear. As long as I have provided the clients with accurate information, I have done my job." As an advocate, I represent my clients before the government in whatever course of action they have chosen. Since I don't litigate, I present most of my cases in writing with no in-person appearance. However, I do represent Often, the cases I present are clearly approvable. Other times, however, the adjudicator exercises a great deal of discretion. And some clients do choose to pursue cases that I have advised them are likely to be rejected. I often turn down the cases because the trouble of dealing with high-maintenance clients who might not want to pay the bills is not worthwhile. But, sometimes, if I believe that the cases should be approved under the law and yet probably won't be because of current adjudication trends, I accept those cases, assuming that the clients know the risks involved and choose to pursue the course of action anyway. I like to push the boundaries of current government opinion when it is wrong. S EPTEMBER/ O CTOBER 2013 35

Governor's Executive Order prioritizes political control over environmental effectiveness
Three things stand out about the Executive Order Governor Inslee issued today.
First, the Executive Order contradicts itself. Governor Inslee calls for an emphasis on the environmental effectiveness of various strategies, then he orders the expansion of two strategies the Governor's own analysis shows are the least effective: solar panels and so-called "coal by wire."
Also, Governor Inslee says his carbon reduction strategies must avoid simply moving carbon emissions elsewhere, known as "leakage." His effort to reduce "coal by wire," however, will likely result in that coal-based energy simply going to other states, contradicting the Governor's announced goal of avoiding leakage. This is the experience Seattle officials had when they sought to go "carbon neutral."
Second, the Governor ignores the lowest cost approaches to reducing carbon emissions, such as removing current, wasteful spending and regulation policies and replacing them with a flat price on carbon and tax cuts. This is the system used effectively by the conservative government in British Columbia.
Instead, Governor Inslee wants a cap-and-trade system that is notorious for its failure in Europe and resulted in widespread manipulation and cheating. Such systems are favored by politicians because they can be politically designed to reward supporters.
By promoting a cap-and-trade system, Governor Inslee prioritizes political control over environmental effectiveness.
Third, the Governor's Executive Order mentions old work by the University of Oregon on the potential impact of climate change on Washington state. This research is outdated and has since been proven to be extremely inaccurate.
Additionally, the Oregon study falsely characterizes research regarding climate and air quality. We will follow up on this later, but it is surprising that Governor Inslee cites such an outdated and inaccurate study in today's Executive Order.
Gov. and Apollo Alliance
Why doesn't anyone seem to know that our Gov headed the Apollo Alliance in WA? Or what it was and is?
I don't know how you can be ignorant of this important " conspiracy " and who its memrbers are and were. If you don't know look it up on the intiernet.
You are correct in 2005 Jay
You are correct in 2005 Jay headed up the Apollo Alliance and it was his first venture into the Renewable energy arena.
He conducted meetings with some Energy influences to come up with his book.
His book was a wreck, selling I believe around 1400 copies, many to Political supporters which were really campaign contributions in disguise.
Inslee is a non-started when it comes to energy. He preaches efficiency but follows a different pattern for himself.
In DC he always took cabs, racking up thousands of dollars instead of mass transit.
He is the epitome of hypocrisy.
As for the Apollo Alliance, now supported by the BlueGreen Alliance it is about unions and continued support for Inslee.
This is a prime example of hiding the pea to keep the current regime in power.
"Crap and Trade"
Having been in the power marketing business during Enron's market manipulation causing wide spread fraud and ultimately collapse of one of the largest energy companies in the world, I can only wait for the same outcome to befall "crap and trade".
As Meyers mentioned, it failed in Europe, most notably Germany resulting in no appreciable environmental benefit only financiers getting richer.
Just another prime example of politics and power gone wrong to benefit those who promote such a charade.
Inslee knows nothing about energy. He is merely a puppet for those who promote this folly.
Your comments on Governors climate order.
You are spot on in every regard. Particularly the complete failure of carbon trading systems which, by their nature MUST create a new regulatory system to operate.
HOWEVER, since carbon clearly must be dealt with at some level, the only effective way to deal with it at the State level, to deal with "leakage" and to do so in a market driven manner is inevitably a carbon tax.
You own logic leads us there and you are right.
They lie and say carbon, but it is carbon dioxide.
The above article and executive order incorrectly says that "carbon" is the problem when environmentalists really claim the compound "CO2" or Carbon Dioxide is the problem. These are two very different things and should not be intermingled in any honest way. It is lying to the public with the intent to deceive.
Everyone has a responsibility to tell the public the truth, and that it is the horrid entity supposedly causing Global Warming is the compound "Carbon Dioxide" and not the very different entity they always name as "Carbon." Carbon is represented as the letter C and is an element listed on the chart of atomic elements that we all recall from high school science class, but have forgotten.
CO2, on the other hand, is a compound (not an element) which is a totally different thing entirely. CO2 is the air that every animal exhales out every few seconds. IT is not coal as they like to make you think.
However, this very big but inconvenient truth, is a big problem to the Global Warming Crowd. If they accurately and honestly use the term carbon dioxide, they would be telling the American Public that the air they breathe out is going to kill the planet. Recall that all breathing entities breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2. Oh NO!
Frankly scheming environmentalists know that that is a very hard sell. So they simply lie and change the offending entity so it sounds like coal is the problem, or the graphite in our pencils. Think black and sooty. Sounds bad.
Every time they refer to "carbon", please correct them. Start asking them if they know the difference. Ask if they know they are breathing it out when they talk.
Actually how can one trust their science if they can't even get that right?

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - A record number of cars and trucks made the insurance industry's list of "top safety pick" award winners this year.
The list of 115 vehicles from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety includes 18 new recipients on top of the 97 who qualified for the award last year and had it carry over to the 2012 model year.
The vehicles are tested to see how well they hold up in front, side, rear and roll-over crashes.
One of the additions is the Honda Accord, which hadn't won since IIHS added a roof strength test in 2010. Ten of the 18 new vehicles on the list were made by Honda.
The Toyota Camry also received its first-ever top safety pick award. It was among 15 Toyota vehicles to receive the distinction.

A couple of things to watch in tonight's game:
LONG DISTANCE CALLS: You may remember how well Minnesota shot the ball while beating the Boilermakers two weeks ago. Penn State also has a handful of solid shooters, thought the Nittany Lions have struggled in Big Ten play (29.7 percent from 3-point range). Purdue needs to keep that trend going.
DYNAMIC DUO: You may scoff at Penn State's record, but Tim Frazier and D.J. Newbill are the real deal in the backcourt. The guards combine to average 34 points per game, and Frazier's 6.5 assists per game rank 10th in the country. The Johnson brothers, Bryson Scott and Sterling Carter will have their hands full.
FIRST HALF TEAM: Penn State has led at halftime in 13 of 18 games, but has struggled to finish off victories. Fouls have been an issue, both because they put the Nittany Lions' best players on the bench in the second half and because PSU is shooting about 10 percent lower on free throws after halftime. Purdue showed better composure while holding off Nebraska and Illinois, but they'll need to hit their own free throws to create some distance.

HANDY HEADBOARD DéCOR PERSONALIZE YOUR BEDROOM BY ADDING A CREATIVE TOUCH TO YOUR HEADBOARD
Julia Haskins
CTW Features
Tricia Goins, a Houston-area painter and the blogger behind Little Cottage on the Pond, loved the European inspired headboards by Ballard Designs, but the company's products didn't fit her budget. So she made her own version, customized with a personal flair.
To make her copycat headboard, she projected the outline of the original design onto a large piece of wood and cut the image out using a jigsaw. She recommends browsing furniture catalogs for ideas and going to a print shop to enlarge outlines or patterns.
A headboard doesn't have to start out as one. Get creative by repurposing raw or vintage materials you wouldn't normally think to use. Mantles, wooden pallet boards and even rustic windowpanes with the glass removed are among the most popular DIY headboard pins on social media site Pinterest.
If you're concerned about leaning back on a headboard with rough or pointed edges, you can hang the board of your choice behind your bed with strong wire instead of attaching it to the bed frame.
"The biggest safety precaution is making sure that the headboard is secure on the wall," says Adrianne Lentine in Phoenix, blogger at Dream Book Design. "Make sure your screws and anchors are strong, and then secure the headboard."
Goins knew her headboard was complete when she added a small bird figurine to the top one of her headboard's finials, which she also installed. It's what makes her piece one of a kind.
She suggests stores like Hobby Lobby, Etsy and architectural salvage stores for the little pieces that make her furniture totally unique. Collect remnant wood pieces and other knick-knacks to really make your headboard pop.

Governments Must Legislate
to Create 'Green' Communities
Law expert says national and local governments must work together to impose far-reaching "sustainable development" laws on local communities.
ABINGDON, OXFORDSHIRE, UK — A call for sweeping changes to land use and planning legislation comes from John R. Nolon, Professor of Law at Pace University, writing in Planning & Environmental Law, which Routledge publishes for the American Planning Association.
"Combating climate change requires that the full legal power, technical capacity, financial resources and historical strengths of all levels of government be integrated into a single system of management, mitigation and sustainable development," Nolon writes.
He argues that government can demand low-mileage lifestyles and energy-efficient buildings only by creating new legislation that is enforceable through the courts and a strict system of penalties.
"Buildings and privately owned vehicles generate almost half of all CO2 emissions in developed countries, so our whole infrastructure needs to be more energy-efficient," Nolon said in commenting on his article "Climate Change and Sustainable Development: The Quest for Green Communities."
"The environmental planning framework we currently have in the United States and elsewhere will not cut CO2 emissions quickly enough," he continued. "We need to encourage local leaders and citizens to accept more compact, mixed use neighborhoods, public transport, wind turbines, solar panels, district energy systems and all else it takes to make communities green."
Nolon's articles, published in Volume 61, issues 10 and 11 of Planning & Environmental Law, are available at:

A New Jersey man accused of using a series of assumed identities to steal $250,000 from a Yarmouth resident appeared yesterday in U.S. District Court in Boston, where he agreed to remain detained by U.S. marshals pending a future bail hearing.
Bryan Wells, 26, of Annandale, N.J., was arrested July 28 and charged with one count of wire fraud for allegedly using fraudulent forms to have money wired from the victim's Charles Schwab retirement account into a bank account set up using a fake identity.
Investigators zeroed in on Wells when he was arrested in Vermont while trying to obtain a driver's license in that state under yet another identity, court papers say.
If convicted, Wells could face up to 20 years in prison and a fine of at least $250,000.
Meanwhile, testimony was given in court yesterday that Wells may be connected to another $260,000 in similar thefts. No further information was available about these allegations.
In the current case, an affidavit filed by an inspector from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service contends that, on April 14, Charles Schwab received two faxes asking to borrow $250,000 using the assets in the victim's account as collateral. One of these faxes was traced to the Courtyard Marriott hotel in Hyannis.
The next day, a third fax requested that the money be transferred to an account at TD Bank allegedly opened by Wells using an assumed name, according to the inspector's affidavit.
The money was wired into the account that day, according to the affidavit; the next day, $150,000 was transferred to an account at Bank of America. In total, nearly $155,000 was withdrawn from the two accounts over the course of four days. In one case, two $10,000 withdrawals were made within less than 30 minutes, the complaint alleges.
Twice, withdrawals were allegedly made by Wells in the form of bank checks made payable to another person — later alleged to be another assumed identity of Wells, the affidavit says.
According to the inspector's affidavit, investigators looked up the Florida driver's license used to open the two bank accounts and determined that they matched the man seen sending the fax to Charles Schwab in the Hyannis hotel's security footage.
Of the money taken, $89,000 has been recovered, according to a U.S. Department of Justice spokeswoman.
The victim, who is identified in court documents only as N.R., told investigators he never authorized the transfer from the investment account. According to the criminal complaint, N.R. also reported in late April that he had never received his most recent statement from Charles Schwab.

Monday is the observance of Memorial Day. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day for remembering those who have died in our nation's service.
There are many stories about its beginnings, including that southern women in Columbus, Mississippi, decorated graves of Civil War soldiers, both Confederate and Union, with flowers.
With all the terrorist stuff still in the air, Memorial Day should be a special day for those of us still here.
We can only imagine the thoughts of some of the true heroes of America that have gone on to pay the ultimate price for freedom and safety.
And we all know some family that has a member of their family unaccounted for.
Pray for peace and wisdom for our leaders.
Once again, school is out for the summer. This means our children will be out amongst us again.
Please make every effort to keep your children off an ATV (4-wheeler) on a black top or public road.
I just almost get upset to drive up on a kid on an ATV cutting doughnuts in a gravel road.
Besides tearing up the road, it surely doesn't help the machine.
Kids going swimming should have a responsible adult with them. Kids sometimes can get in innocent trouble or do some really stupid things.
Watch your younguns with boats.
Kids can cause lots of damage they are unaware of by running a boat too close to a pier or another boat.
We have plenty of water for everyone, recreational boating, sport fishing and commercial fishing.
If you have an outdoor graduate you are still trying to think what to give, give him or her a lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association.
This is a very educational and informative organization helping preserve our outdoor and shooting activities.
Each membership comes with a magazine, The American Hunter, The Rifleman or America's First Freedom. Call 1-877-672-2000 for details.
Another lifetime gift idea for the outdoor type is a lifetime hunting and fishing license. Check with Wildlife & Fisheries (318-343-2417) for details.
Many of our youngsters are playing baseball.
The smaller they are, the more excitement one can expect. Remember they are having fun and showing adults how good they are.
Have you ever seen a little one playing T-ball hit the ball and run to third base?
You talkin' about some grownups going wild. Everybody on the team "comes to" and starts hollering.
And all the little ones know is they got on base! Try to take a few minutes out of your week to attend at least one of their games.
Make every attempt to find something for your older children to do this summer.
Many older children are left alone with a cell phone and the opportunity for trouble.
Sure, work is hard and sometimes difficult but difficulty is what teaches a youngun how to think and complete a task.
I would go so far as to see who is "texting" who and the nature of the message.
You, as a parent or guardian, are not invading a young teenager's privacy so much as heading off trouble. Many of us were raised with discipline and respect for responsibility and accountability.
Chunk, Margaret Ann's mother-in-law's oldest great grandson, has been at our house a little during summer break.
He has been with me, and some of the things he asks about are almost comical, but it's a pure, innocent thought from a 11 year old's point of view.
He's learning, too. He knows the difference between a Phillips and a flat head screwdriver.
He knows how to shut a gate behind him.
He can drive a farm tractor right down a road, with me right beside him, of course.
He can hit, somedays, probably 70 percent of the clay pigeons thrown for him, and never point the barrel of his shotgun at anyone.
Other children can learn practical things, if we just spend a little time with them.
If you get a chance, take a kid fishing or hunting.
For that matter, take anyone.
One doesn't have to kill to enjoy our outdoors. Some of the best friends and meals are made "at the camp."
