Few things move the heart like abused or orphaned children singing like angels and getting a shot at a better life despite the hellish conditions they came from.
Consider me moved. I'm talking here about the Watoto Children's Choir, which is touring the United States and performing throughout Minnesota starting this week. I had never heard of it until recently. I looked them up on YouTube. Wow. I know if I ever get down now, all I need is a little joyful jolt of Watoto -- Swahili for "children" -- in my life.
"It's amazing seeing kids with low self-esteem or confidence, with heartbreaking stories and no hope for the future, blossom through schooling and a home life with a new extended family," said Candace Ball, who grew up in Apple Valley and served as an adult choir singer, chaperone and tour coordinator from 2002 to 2006.
"Every kid that is brought in changes the trajectory of their lives," said Ball, a married mother of two who is sponsoring a child she met at one of the Watoto children's villages in Uganda. "It's an amazing organization."
The touring 22-member choir -- actually three traveling simultaneously across the globe -- entertains audiences while raising awareness about the plight of the estimated 2 million orphaned children in Uganda and other parts of Africa.
According to United Nations reports, the HIV/AIDS epidemic has orphaned more than 14 million children in sub-Saharan Africa, also home to 88 percent of the world's HIV-positive children. Over the years, more than 20,000 children in Uganda alone have been abducted and forced to serve as child soldiers in ongoing conflicts.
The village concept was established 20 years ago by a missionary couple, Marilyn and Gary Skinner, in response to a child-orphan crisis born from armed warfare and the AIDS epidemic. The Skinners, who ran the Watoto Church in Kampala, Uganda, at the time, came up with a unique model of mothering orphans.
Instead of warehousing orphans in large institutions, the Skinners created a plan to have widowed women care for up to eight vulnerable children in each village housing unit, thus creating a new family of sorts.
The inspiration came six years earlier when the Skinners visited a 79-year-old widow in a small Ugandan village who had lost her husband and six of her seven children to the AIDS epidemic. Her only surviving daughter then was dying of the disease.
The nonprofit Watoto Child Care Ministries now operates six villages -- including three "Baby Watoto" housing complexes for orphaned or abandoned children from birth to 2 years of age -- throughout Uganda. It offers food, lodging, health care and schooling through college for about 3,000 children. The most recent village is in Gulu, a northern Ugandan city where the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel group, has abducted more than 30,000 children in recent years.
"Our primary mission is not just to care for orphans," said Eugene Stutzman, executive director of Watoto's U.S. office in Tampa, Fla. "These kids are being raised and educated to become leaders and help rebuild their own country for themselves and future generations. The lack of leadership has had a huge impact in a country that is rich in resources and potential."
Stutzman said the children also are exposed to "father figures" in the form of adult men in the villages and surrounding areas who serve as teachers and mentors.
The choir kicks off the two-week Minnesota tour on Thursday in Moose Lake, with performances at host churches in Minnetonka on Friday and Rosemount on Sunday.
Irene Aguti, 12, is a member of the choir coming here. A victim of physical abuse at the hands of a widowed mother with a serious mental illness, she was brought to the village two years ago at the request of a relative who could not care for her or a sibling any longer.
"My mother is still alive but I don't know where she is," Irene said in an email. "We were three girls when my father died. Two of us were brought to Watoto but my (oldest sister) stayed in our village with my grandmother."
I asked Irene, who wants to become a doctor, what has been one of her favorite places while a member of the touring choir.
"Oklahoma because I saw snow," she replied.
Snow? Oklahoma? This kid needs to come back here next winter.

Tomorrow's Youth: The Making of Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship, youth, and the Middle East—these ideas have bumbled together in global media since the Arab Spring, when the world took note of the region's 25 percent youth unemployment rate. But where does entrepreneurship start? One community in Palestine says it starts with the children.

BUFFALO, NY - One day after he was criticized on "The View", Carl Paladino issued a scathing response.
On Monday's edition of the ABC talk show, co-host Joy Behar said Paladino "could win if all his illegitimate children vote."
The Paladino campaign fired back with the following statement:
"Joy Behar should be absolutely ashamed of herself for referring to Carl's daughter as illegimate. She's a child and does not deserve that kind of treatment from a woman who should know better. That's catty, it's pissy and strikes of something that someone would say when suffering from a sudden hot flash. The only person here who's illegimate is Joy Behar's hairstylist. Joy is off carl paladino's christmas card list."

Arsene Wenger does not agree with Chelsea's decision to go public with their complaint about referee Mark Clattenburg.
Arsene Wenger does not agree with Chelsea's decision to go public with their complaint about referee Mark Clattenburg.
Shortly after their controversial 3-2 defeat to Manchester United the Blues stated their intention to lodge an official complaint against Clattenburg over allegations he made racist comments about a Chelsea player.
Having conducted an internal investigation they formally lodged their complaint with the FA on Wednesday evening, while the Metropolitan Police have also launched an official investigation following a request from the Society of Black Lawyers'.
The issue has dominated the headlines since Sunday and Wenger believes the Blues should not gone public with their complaint, preferring to deal with things internally.
"I believe one of the best things in sport is it's a battle when it is on," Wenger said.
"You can sort out the problems you had, especially in England, internally. If it comes to making the lawyers rich I'm not a fan of it.
"One of the great things in sports as well is tolerance, forgiveness and explanation internally and I think it should stay like that. It can happen that a referee doesn't behave well, I do not say they are angels, but it is always better to sort it out in the room.
"I didn't follow the whole [Chelsea] story completely [but] my opinion is just when I didn't behave well I have an explanation with the referee at the end of the game or another day, rather than going public with little proof. I'm not in favour of making these things public."
Meanwhile, Chelsea are investigating an apparent monkey gesture made by a Blues fan during the Capital One League Cup win over Manchester United on Wednesday.
A photograph appearing to depict a fan making a gesture in the direction of Danny Welbeck was carried by several newspapers on Thursday and Chelsea have acted swiftly by launching an investigation, while also making the police aware of the matter.
"Chelsea Football Club can confirm we are investigating an incident involving a member of the crowd at last night's game against Manchester United," a statement from the club read.
"The club will be examining all available footage and asks anyone who can identify the individual to contact the club.
"Chelsea FC is committed to removing all forms of discrimination and if we have sufficient evidence we will take the strongest possible action, including supporting criminal prosecution."

In every author's career there could be a time when you're not on your agent's front burner. Let's hope that this occurs right after he or she has just landed you a fat contract--when there's no need to be in touch so regularly. New writers who've just been taken on by an agent are often unrealistic about expecting to hear from him every week. But
agents do have other clients, after all. Here's how you can tell if you've truly been forgotten:
Don't Call Me, I'll Call You...
There are many legitimate reasons why an agent can't talk to you or write back to you the same day you get in touch, but if she's always "out of the office" or on another call, that's reason to worry.
The Black Hole
Are you in the dark about your agent's marketing strategy for you? Do you know where your work is being submitted? Does she send you rejection letters or let you know what the editors are saying in case you should decide to revise your book based on their opinions (if they all have the same objections)? Or do you have no idea what your agent is doing?
Waning Enthusiasm
Your agent may have been enthusiastic about your book or proposal initially, but after three or four rejections she suddenly starts saying it's a "hard sell." Translation: she expected a quick sale to a particular party but is otherwise not interested in spending much time marketing the work; she has bigger fish to fry. Don't expect her to put much energy into your project.
Throw It Against the Wall and See What Sticks
This is often a result of waning enthusiasm. Your agent submits your book to markets that seem comparatively inappropriate, even desperate. She may even say, "They may not go for this, but..." She's just doing busy work, covering the bases on the off chance that she'll make a sale, but the passion is gone and you're the loser.
The Blind Leading the Blind
When you do manage to get a hold of your agent, does she give you a sense that she knows who you really are and what you want out of your career? Does she sound decisive about what she can do for you and offer solid advice? Or does she give you the same old empty apologies, promises, and platitudes?
The "What About Me?" Syndrome
Does your agent have clients writing in the same genre as you? Is their work being sold to major markets that seem off-limits to you? An agent has to think of her career, too, of course, which is why she may put forth other clients she feels can command higher advances or may have better break-out possibilities than you do. Still, if your agent isn't doing everything to put you forward, do you really want that agent?
Major Chaos/General Disorder
Are these your agent's nicknames? Are editors calling you asking for the signed contracts they delivered to your agent over a month ago and which you have yet to receive? Has she tried to sell film rights to a book whose rights are controlled by the publisher? Have you asked for the return of illustrations or other materials only to be told they're "lost in the files?" This person is too disorganized to be an effective agent.
Zero Clout
Are there disturbing signs that your agent isn't taken too seriously by editors? When she submits your manuscript, does it wind up in the slush pile or in the hands of the "first reader?" That's not supposed to happen with an agent. Does she have enough experience, enough dynamism, enough confidence, and enough clout? She doesn't have to be a super-agent to be respected, but respected she must be. Professional writers have all run across the above "symptoms" at one time or another. The agents were all with top, well-established literary agencies. Imagine what it would be like with one of those fee-charging, amateurs who operate outside New York or Los Angeles and is simply not for real. Anyone can hang up a shingle and call himself an agent. They are definitely to be avoided. But even a "good" agent can be "bad" for you. If you're serious about your career, spend as much time finding the right agent as you would a spouse.
Knowing when to fire your agent is the first step. How to do so politely and painlessly is another question. Here are some tips to follow:

I've taken a look at PSR, which kind of does that, but it's just screen caps, and can only record a certain number. I would rather have a video and and a list of bookmarked frames to jump to in order to review problems that happened.
I found that Camtasia has this feature. In the Camtasia Recorder, you can enable the Effects toolbar, and there's an Add Marker button. When you add the video to the timeline, the markers will appear.

A Whole Lot of Theta Love
The following is a post by my wife, Robin McGraw, who has made our marriage and our growing family her priority in life. Robin's devotion to "family first" can be seen through her dedicated work as a board member of The Dr. Phil Foundation and national spokesperson for CASA. In 2010, she became a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta Fraternity, which has donated more than $1 million to CASA over the last 20 years.
It's been two years since I had the thrill of being initiated into the Omicron Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta. For those of my readers who don't know, Kappa Alpha Theta is the first Greek letter fraternity known among women — founded in 1870 — and my favorite nonprofit, CASA for Children, is Theta's official philanthropy.
I'm still in awe of the tremendous amount of energy Theta women put into everything they do — especially their passionate support of CASA for Children.
In an interview with Theta magazine, I once said, "There are no children more disadvantaged than those who get caught up in the foster care system." I still believe this, with one exception: The kids in the foster care system who have a CASA volunteer have a huge advantage! Those children have a caring adult matched with them one-on-one; an adult who is trained to give that child a voice and who will lift up that child's best interests in court.
CASA volunteers are just as passionate as my Theta sisters about the work that they do. The stories I hear from young people who have "aged out of the system" start with such tragedy, but they end in victories for each child who was listened to and who made his or her way to the safety of a forever family.
That is why I am so grateful to each and every Theta. Whether my Theta sisters are still in college or university, or whether they are alumnae who, like me, haven't been students for more than a few years, the energy these women pour into their support of CASA makes my heart soar.
My Theta sisters are about to enjoy a fun-filled, information-packed Grand Convention in Tucson. I wish I could be there with them! Since I can't be, I'm writing this message to wish every Theta sister a whole lot of Theta love!
Please do your part to help abused and neglected children! Visit iamforthechild.org and add your voice. Thank you!

One concern I have is that CASA workers are NOT investigating. My step kids were taken on false allegations and the judicial, attorney's, and CASA workers are not looking at the facts only on what's not the truth in the report. The report being written up and changed by a CPS worker who never visited the home before she took the kids. These kids have now suffered undue trauma on top of the trauma they were already suffering when being removed from safe and loving parents (who did everything to protect) who were the ones desperately seeking help in keeping the kids from being in the care of an unsafe environment ordered by family law court. I really hope that things change because my step kids are not the only kids in our country who have been ripped out of perfectly good homes based on lies!
I had the exact same experience as this woman. My kids were interviewed and hair follicle tested for drug behind my back while staying at their dads home for 2 weeks after a false allegation on me,their bio mom. I had full custody of my boys and had them at least 5 Days a week,but for this 2 week stretch they stayed with dad I was labeled in court reports as being homeless and the culprite for their positive hair follicle test for cocaine…of which I've never used,yet father and roomate I found out were using! By the time I realized my kids were taken I was already suffering PTSD..yet labeled drug user because of my symptoms from PTSD,which mirror side effects of drug use:seeing and hearing my childrens cries yet they were gone. For 2 days I didnt know where they were and wasnt given a court summons explaining a hearing and that CPS had them until A WEEK AFTER I WAS TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO COURT. I feel we have been raped,beaten,and disregarded as trash by our own justice system. I charge them w/ abuse/negl
I was just wondering, you do so much for abused children, women, people in general. and that's awesome I am all three, but u have never addressed fully the abuse of a child while they are still in the womb. why is that? too controversial? sometimes promblems can be held off if parents both mother and fathere realized the horrible things they could do to their child while pregnant, like drinking, the num 1 cause of mental retardation in the us. I cant believe it I didn't know that till after I spent the first 5 months of my pregnancy drinking.
Robin: Back in the 80's I would take in 3 young men, Jeffrey, Stephen and Ralph, for the weekend to spend time with their dad, whom I dated. They were mentally challenged. Their mom was a diagnosed schizo and in foster homes. The boys were from Little Flower Foster Services in Long Island, NY. Last year, I located Jeffrey Auricchio and learned that his two twin brothers passed away, as well Phyliss his mom. He is living unhappily in a foster home. Jeffrey lives in Oceanside Long Island, NY at 2898 Cleveland Ave 11572. Jeffrey receives disability. He is unhappy there and say the people who live there are "evil". Can you help me reunite with him. I have not seen him since 1990 when I moved to Las Vegas. I will be 63 next month. (Oct). Thank you and God Bless. Susie
Robin, Congratulations on your initiation into Kappa Alpha Theta. While I am not a Theta, I am a fellow Greek woman. I am always pleased to see women of high character who are in the public eye joining one of our NPC groups. CASA is a terrific organization doing God's work in the most hellish of circumstances. We celebrate your work and thank you for bringing honor to the Greek system at large.
Fraternally yours …
I was wondering if Robin was a Theta in college or if she found them via the philanthropy.
Also, I have discovered that the authorities can write anything they want in a report and it is accepted as the truth. I will never interact with any sort of government agency until after I am deceased.
On Monday 11/18/13 your show will feature a young man going to a slow and painful death by alcohol poisoning. On July 17th I went to check on my son at his home and found him dead. He had committed to a very slow and painful end to his life. Tom was a Marine with a very honorable service record and ran his own very successful business for several years and then with the downturn in the economy and He went downhill very rapidly. He began to bleed internally because of his drinking and for the past 4-6 years he spent time in the hospital and received blood transfusions on a regular basis.
This has been an experience that no parent should have to endure, losing a son, a Father and a very promising life ended much too soon.

A swaying car steals the comfort and delight in riding since you would experience every shock coming from the pits and craters along an uneven highway; the ride quality is tremendously decreased, particularly when there's too much up and down motion when your automobile passes a rocky track on a daily basis, however, the problem could be reduced if the Dodge D100 shock absorber is in ideal form and is also sturdy enough to withstand severe road force. The purpose of your shock absorber is quite easy although it involves a lot of parts in order to get the process executed; the component achieves the absorbing result by converting suspension assembly's kinetic energy into a tremendous heat energy that may give your Dodge D100 a strong force field against stressful road hits for a more enjoyable, hassle-free ride all the time.
The function of the shock absorber is quite simple although it needs numerous components to be able to get the process executed; the component performs the cushioning effect by transforming suspension system's kinetic force into a tremendous heat energy which may supply your Dodge D100 a strong force field against traumatic road bumps for a more satisfying, bounce-free trip at all times. If your stock shock absorber becomes cracked, you may surf our Dodge D100 shock absorber selection at Parts Train; our website's store features cost-efficient brands, such as KYB, Rugged Ridge, and Eurospare.

IV. Workgroup Updates
• Bias Based Policing Workgroup (Chair: Ms. Owens) The draft report may be ready by 11/19/08 for the workgroup to review and may be ready for the full CRC to review by their next meeting.
> Next meeting: Not yet scheduled.
• PARC Report Review Workgroup (Chair: Michael Bigham). The workgroup will be meeting tomorrow at noon and will discuss putting together an interim report and recommendations. Mr. Eriksson said that they anticipate that the Police Bureau will provide a response.
> Next meeting: 11/19/08 at 12:00 noon.
• Case Handling Workgroup (Chair: Mr. Johnson). The workgroup is continuing its review of its first sample of files, which are cases involving complainants who protested the handling of their complaints or responded to the closing letter with additional questions or concerns. When the file review is finished the workgroup will make some suggestions and hopes to have a report for the full CRC. The workgroup will then move on to reviewing the next sample of cases, which will include of IPR dismissals, IAD declines, and service complaints.
Mr. Miggins, citing the lack of appeals for some time, suggested that CRC might consider conducting a survey of cases that were fully investigated, questioning complainants about their level of satisfaction. Mr. Milesnick expressed concern about confidentiality issues and the appropriateness of CRC members sending surveys to complainants. Director Baptista suggested that this should be a topic for the Case Handling Workgroup rather than for the Outreach Workgroup. If the Case Handling Workgroup chooses to take on this task, Director Baptista asked that they develop this idea into a formal plan based on the work they are doing and present it to her in proposal form, at which time she would look into the confidentiality issues. However, she advised that the workgroup should first finish what it has started before taking on additional tasks. Ms. Owens proposed that a discussion of gauging consumer satisfaction with the complaint process be included as a retreat topic.
> Next meeting: 12/10/08 at 12:00 noon. Agenda to be provided.
• Performance Review Workgroup (Chair: Ms. Jackson). This workgroup has changed its name to the IPR Structure Review Workgroup. The workgroup has decided to focus on six primary areas: complaint process, mediation, policy development, staffing and training issues, outreach, and the need for transparency. The entire last meeting was spent discussing the complaint process and putting together recommendations and comments. In future meetings, they will continue this process with each of the other five areas and will then prepare a draft report. At one point the work group had hoped to have a draft report for the Mayor and City Council to review before the end of the year, but the workgroup now realizes that it will take longer to prepare the report. However, there will be a brief presentation to City Council, tentatively on 12/17/08.
> Next meeting: 12/4/08 from 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m. Agenda: Discuss the City Council presentation and continue to formulate recommendations for remaining five focus areas.
In response to a question from Ms. Robison, Ms. Jackson confirmed that the IPR Structure Review Workgroup will be formulating recommendations that could result in goals for CRC for the coming year. The workgroup will try to have some recommendations ready by the time of the 2009 CRC retreat.
• Protocol Workgroup (Chair: Ms. Robison). The workgroup has not met for some time. However, Ms. Robison asked CRC to decide whether or not to go forward with testing the process of having CRC members present the hearing report at appeal hearings. Ms. Robison also asked CRC to consider if the draft guidelines that were provided at the last meeting are acceptable to the CRC members.
After discussion, Ms. Robison made a motion that two CRC members present the hearing report at a future appeal hearing as a test procedure. Mr. Johnson seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
The procedures for CRC members to present the hearing report were changed as follows: Reverse the numbering of Sections 3 and 4. Amend Section 3 to read: With IPR support, a CRC member will present a written synopsis of the case to include a brief statement of the allegations and the PPB response.
• Retreat Workgroup (Chair: Ms. Robison). The Water Treatment Laboratory has been reserved for the whole day of Saturday February 28, 2009. The workgroup is still open to receiving further input from CRC members on what they would like to have at the retreat. It is envisioned that most of the retreat will be dedicated to working on next year's goals, along with some refresher training on confidentiality, public meeting law, record keeping, etc. Director Baptista asked CRC to consider scheduling time at the retreat for discussion of outreach.
• Outreach Workgroup (Chair: Mr. Miggins). The workgroup has decided to defer meeting again until the draft report from the planning consultants has been made available.
• Tow Policy Workgroup (Mr. Eriksson). Mr. Eriksson asked Sergeant Marshman to summarize a meeting that took place earlier with the Police Bureau, JOIN, and Mr. Eriksson and Mr. Bigham. Sergeant Marshman said that he checked with Parking Patrol about the procedures for towing abandoned vehicles and the City Attorney's Office about any possible legal issues. The Parking Patrol said that it takes them a minimum of thirty days to remove an abandoned vehicle, so if a homeless person is occupying the car, they receive well over 72-hour prior notice. The City Attorneys suggested that the Police Bureau not get involved in abandoned vehicles enforcement because all the Police Bureau would do anyway is to notify Parking Patrol, at which time the standard procedures would then take place. The possibility of automatically notifying JOIN when an abandoned vehicle is referred to Parking Patrol was also discussed.
> Next meeting: Not yet scheduled.
V. Tracking List Update (Ms. Owens). Ms. Owens has received a lot of feedback from CRC members. She has not yet finished incorporating this feedback into the tracking list. Ms. Owens said it would be helpful in the future to be more specific about projected completion dates of items on the list. Ms. Owens will email the amended tracking list to all CRC members when this is completed so that it can be reviewed and discussed at the next CRC meeting. Ms. Baptista suggested that a topic of discussion at the retreat might be how the tracking list could be used as a goal-setting instrument.
VI. Old Business:
• Mr. Bigham sent a letter on behalf of CRC to Mr. John Hren of the Portland Patrol Incorporated (PPI), inviting him to attend a CRC meeting to explain the scope and duties of PPI. If Mr. Bigham does not receive a response from PPI he will pursue other avenues to try to get a response, such as the Portland Business Alliance or the PPI's liaisons within the Portland Police Bureau.
• Ms. Robison said that she and Ms. Jackson met with Commissioner Fish on 11/17/08. They set up quarterly meetings with him and invited him to the January 2009 CRC meeting, and he agreed to attend if possible. Ms. Jackson described the meeting with Commissioner Fish as a "swimmingly good" meeting. She said that Commissioner Fish was very receptive to her suggestion that the Fire Bureau might be able to assist in outreach by distributing brochures in the community, for example.
• Mr. Eriksson said that he and Mr. Bigham met with Commissioner Leonard last month. They discussed CRC matters and Commissioner Leonard's recent Public Safety Report.
• Mr. Bigham said that Ms. Baptista and he had the opportunity to serve on the IAD investigator interview panel.
• Mr. Johnson, Ms. Jackson, and Mr. Eriksson gave a brief summary of their experience in attending the NACOLE Conference. All agreed that attending the conference was a very beneficial experience.
• Ms. Jackson said that she is considering going back to work full-time. She said that if this happens, she will probably not be able to attend daytime meetings. She asked CRC members if they thought that would be a problem. Ms. Baptista suggested that Ms. Jackson's workgroups could be scheduled at times that would not interfere with her work schedule, such as late afternoon or evening hours. The CRC members agreed that they were flexible as to meeting times.
• Mr. Johnson said that he would not be available to attend the retreat on 2/28/09.
VII. New Business:
Ms. Owens said that her CRC term will expire on 2/9/09, so she suggested that CRC consider who would take over the chairmanship of the Bias Based Policing Workgroup and for the responsibility for manage tracking list. Mr. Bigham suggested that the workgroup choose a new chairperson from the existing workgroup. He said that another member will be assigned the tracking list responsibilities.
VIII. Public Comments:
• Ms. Debbie Aiona (League of Women Voters): Ms. Aiona reminded CRC that it is not necessary for the workgroups to meet in City Hall. She suggested that another possible place that IPR/CRC quarterly reports and brochures could be distributed would be the coffee tables in the entryways of the commissioners' offices. She supported Mr. Miggins's suggestion to try to find out more about how complainants view the complaint process and why the number of appeals has decreased.
• Mr. Dan Handelman (Portland Copwatch). Mr. Handelman asked why the Use of Force Task Force is not holding public meetings. He asked Ms. Baptista if there would be any problem with CopWatch and League of Women Voters sharing the outreach draft report with other organizations. Mr. Handelman thought it was a good idea to bring in an IAD investigator from San Francisco who is not a former PPB officer. He expressed concern that new members who are selected for CRC be provided the necessary training to bring them up to speed. He expressed concerned that the discussion with the Police Bureau about the towing of vehicles of homeless persons only addressed abandoned vehicles and not the towing of vehicles in other circumstances. Mr. Handelman expressed his satisfaction with the IPR Director's decision to begin including the appeal request form with mailings of disposition letters.
IX. Wrap-up Comments by CRC Members/IPR Staff: Ms. Baptista responded to Mr. Handelman's question about the consultant's draft by stating that for the sake of transparency the draft report will treated as a public document.
Chair Bigham adjourned the meeting at 7:15 p.m.

Whenever I talk about Membase with candidates, employees, or friends, I feel more and more excited about what we are building and how it is going to impact the industry. Each discussion validates my belief that what we do *is* unique and a game changer. Just today, we had two important "wins," one from a prospect who evaluated our technology against other NoSQL databases and chose Membase. I can't talk much about it yet, but this is an amazing win. The second is the fact that IDC chose us as an innovative company to watch. Great day!
Every morning when I look at my calendar, I find myself looking forward several things. At the top of the list is the meetings in which I am going to discuss Membase technology, meet smart people, and demo a data management solution they can get excited about. I also look forward to the end of each day to see what improvements are in the latest build that make it even better for Membase users. It's fun being in a position where people are hungry to learn about what you do and how you do it. After five years in a big company I now remember how much I love being in a startup: to be able to move quickly, change direction fast when needed, develop features in days that in other environments would take weeks or even months, wear multiple hats, and most importantly, be close to the customer. I like building meaningful systems that solve real problems. This company is an amazing place to be and it is getting better every day. And, by the way, we are *always* looking for great people to join us. If you're one of them, just shoot me an email.

I watched while the server took their lunch orders. Reluctant, they pulled away, to merely pick up again after she left. Staring at how simple it was for them to snub the crowded room, eyes gazing, cocooned in a makeshift world of self-made bliss. I strained to hear their conversation above the haze of the crowd's buzzing and only garnered small snips of their cozy happy whispering.
Horror struck when Ricardo took her hand to kiss while placing a ring on her finger. Its brilliance burned in the late afternoon light while scorching my soul. She received the gesture with an endearing smile and a long hard kiss on his full lips.
A bone deep ache over took me while the crowd cheered for them. I
doubled over in real physical pain. I wanted to scream gazing at
them and their open display of affection, while a sad dream hung
on my mind.
I remembered he held me once body, mind, spirit and soul. I gave Ricardo all of me; then he moved on with his life. I call to mind a vow once holy, a union once shared, but this picture of life anew made it void. Now it's a shadow of what once existed, I'm left to muse over a life once full of love now lost. The incident crossed my awareness and I remembered for the first time.
My world changed on a bright sunny day. The day he proposed,
we sat at our table here near the window inside the café. He
surprised me going to one knee while he held up open a small
black box. I had on idea he would propose to me. Sudden without
warning, a car crashed through the building killing me instantly.
I took the brunt of the impact saving Ricardo's life. He spent a
year of his life in a coma and another remembering how to
Gripped with this truth, I'm no longer Ricardo's focus; he's found another to fulfill his dreams, his life and his bed. I had become a distance memory, a whisper in the breeze, a lost soul that hung back. I stayed where all our hopes and dreams began, where our bright future started and where my life ended.
I've stayed in this spot at the table by the window for four years waiting for Ricardo to return. I held on to wants and desires that he can never meet. I've stayed here because I'm a lost soul, a spirit still in love with the living.
I once had the love of a man who loved me. My love for him lingered, hopeful, but watching Ricardo with this woman and their love for each other. I realized there's no need for me. I drifted over to the loving couple, watching them this close I discern that I could never give him what he needed. I'm just a lost soul, now glad to have loved. I planted a soft kiss on Ricardo's cheek. He smiled and I believe it's for me.
It's right for me to move on, to fade into the eternal bliss. I looked to the light so bright near the window luring me. With a sigh, I drifted back realizing there's no longer a need to defy the strong pulling of infinite and glory that called upon me.
I turned to look one last time at Ricardo's happy face. It's genuine happiness I felt for him. Turning back toward the bright and mysterious radiance with the understanding there's no more time for me here. I took my first step into the bright light happy to enter the peaceful rest; bone weary from my time spent lingering.

Eric Kirkland approached a group of people sitting in a York park and knocked on an empty chair like it was a door.
"Good afternoon, good afternoon," he said. "How is everybody?"
He wanted their help with a project -- to preserve the stories of a generation of black families that moved to York decades ago.
"We've been collecting a lot of pictures and stuff from back in the day," said the 60-year-old Kirkland. "But we have so much history that we don't have recorded."
Dorothy Sweeney, 79, told him her name. One of her children added that the maiden name was Hawkins.
Kirkland was surprised to learn that Sweeney's mother was the late Rhoda Hawkins, a former Codorus Street resident and baker known for her pies and hot rolls.
"She owned that store that was right here, the restaurant?" Kirkland said. "OK. I didn't know. See, I'm learning already."
Then he continued.
"Where was your dad born at?"
The exchange took place Saturday at the second annual Codorus Street Reunion, an event that celebrated more than 90 years of black history in York and looked to the future.
Kirkland said black people, including his grandparents, who left the south and came to York were pioneers, looking for a better way of life for their families.
Kirkland said he previously worked as an information technology project manager for the state and is now semi-retired. He works part-time as a youth counselor. He said he's hoping stories from the struggles of the people who moved to York will help the next generation.
Many of the people gathered at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park Saturday reflected on old times in the neighborhood and changes in the city.
"Everybody was one big happy family," said Rosetta M. Hawkins, 67, who grew up on Codorus Street.
She thinks drugs and violence have made the city more dangerous.
But she hasn't left. She lives several blocks away from where she grew up.
"It's all I know," she said with a laugh. "It's where I've lived all my life."
Eric's 64-year-old brother, Jeff, lives on the 400 block of West Market Street, an area known as Doctor's Row.
Jeff Kirkland said that was an area he wasn't allowed to go to when he was younger because of segregation.
Jeff Kirkland said people often pay attention to racial issues after a tragedy or major incident, such as the fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin last year and the recent acquittal of George Zimmerman.
"A week or two later, people are back into the doldrums," he said. "They're back into the apathy."
He said he was disappointed with the number of eligible black voters who turned out to vote in the May primary. He called it a historic moment, where the city's first elected black female mayor was challenged by the first black female York City Council member.
Jeff Kirkland said he thinks one way to make progress is to connect young black people with some of the people who grew up on Codorus Street decades ago.
"People are dying off. So we see an extra urgency ... to have our young people interact with some of our older people," he said. "...They might absorb some of those values, and some of those traditions, some of the culture that we have."
Eric Kirkland asked Sweeney and two of her children questions about their family for more than five minutes.
Then he told them he didn't want to tire them out. He said he'd follow up with them later, and he was thinking about doing video interviews with older people.
"Because ... once that history's gone, man, you just can't get it," he said.
They chatted for a few minutes about World War I, speaking French and how people used to hunt groundhogs and other animals along a creek.
Eric Kirkland stood up, and started moving to the next family.
Then Sweeney spoke up."My dad helped dig the foundation to build a church over there, too," she said.
She was referring to Emmanuel Church of God in Christ, which was originally built on Codorus Street.
Eric Kirkland sat back down.
One of Sweeney's children told him that she is an original member of the church, which is now on the 800 block of East Princess Street.
Eric Kirkland started writing that down.

Volusia's best perform at 40th All-County Choral Festival
Published: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 4:09 p.m.
Volusia County Schools put 166 of their best students on stage Saturday in the 40th Annual All-County Choral Music Festival. Guest Conductor Scott Evans, from Orange County, said Volusia choral directors had prepared students very well for the event.
"When I came on Friday (to rehearse), the students were all ready to go, and that doesn't happen without preparation," said Evans.
The county-wide student chorus is one of several All-County events coordinated by Monty Musgrave, performing arts specialist for Volusia County Schools. The choral event happens each fall. All-County orchestra and jazz events are scheduled each spring. The programs are financially supported by Volusia County Organization of Music Educators.
"Performing arts are an integral part of a student's well-rounded education," said Musgrave, in the event program.
Students are selected and then personally invited to be in the All-County events by their teachers. They practice individually with the teacher. For four hours on Friday and five hours Saturday, they rehearsed as a group with the guest conductor.
Saturday's performance featured a middle school and a high school chorus. Students wore long black skirts or black pants and white shirts. Six students performed piano solos between chorus performances. Evans conducted the middle school students. Mary Catherine Salo served as guest conductor for the high school chorus.
Celine Lavaris was one of three students chosen from Creekside Middle School in Port Orange. Being one of only three from her school, Lavaris said the invitation to sing in All-County made her feel "special."
"It felt really, really good (to be invited)," said Robin Ashton, from Southwestern Middle School in DeLand.
The All-County event was held in the auditorium of DeLand High. Parents, siblings and other supporters filled the seats.
Tammy Sciropoulos and her husband, Rick, were proud of their daughter, Kori Sciropoulos, a student from New Smyrna Beach Middle School. "This is fantastic. It boosts (our daughter's) self-esteem," said Tammy Sciropoulos.
While the middle school chorus performed, the high school students anxiously waited to go on stage. Michael Truilo from Seabreeze High School in Daytona Beach said he felt honored to be selected because he would like to be a music theater professional someday.
University High School student Jennifer Morales and Deltona High School student Waverly Neal felt similarly. Neal was the only student chosen from her school.
"It's such an honor. I love singing classical music," said Neal.

|Our Approach to Maximizing the Durability of Pulmonary Vein Isolation During a Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Procedure.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22913515 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Maximizing Lesion Durability in PVI. Recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after a single ablation procedure has been reported in the range of 15-60% depending on patient selection. A major factor leading to AF recurrence after catheter ablation therapy is electrical reconnection of one or more pulmonary veins (PVs) due to recovery of excitability of atrial tissue within ablation lesions. Maximizing the durability of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is critical to reduce recurrence rates and improve outcome after catheter treatment for AF. Strategies to increase the durability of the lesions include optimization of catheter contact by use of steerable sheaths, direct visualization by intracardiac ultrasound, and observation of the decrease in impedance at the beginning of ablation. Furthermore, currently achievable endpoints in addition to electrical PVI may reduce AF recurrence, such as identification of dormant conduction with adenosine administration and rendering the ablation line unexcitable to pacing. Integration of all these strategies into routine catheter ablation procedures for AF has reduced our AF recurrence rates and can easily be incorporated into practice without additional technological advances.

Save Money, Save Energy
"The adequacy of North America's electricity system will decline unless changes are made soon…. Demand for electricity is expected to increase over the next ten years by 19 percent in the U.S., but confirmed power capacity will only increase by 6 percent." - North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC)
"Over $16 billion dollars of electricity is unusable energy, but billable in the U.S." - U.S. Department of Energy
Up to 25% of the billable electricity consumed in homes and businesses is nonproductive and unusable. Most AC motors operate at 80% efficiency under full load…. The efficiency drops dramatically at lower loads. This non-productive energy wastes money and also shortens the life of inductive equipment such as motors, HVAC equipment, pumps and major appliances.

Electricity is measured in units of power called watts. It was named to honor James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. One watt is a very small amount of power. It would require nearly 750 watts to equal one horsepower. A kilowatt represents 1,000 watts. A kilowatt=hour is equal to the energy of 1,000 watts working for one hour. The amount of electricity a power plant generates or a customer uses over a period of time is measured in kilowatt hours (kwh). Kilowatt hours are determined by multiplying the number of kw's required by the number of hours of use. For example, if you use a 40 watt light bulb 5 hours a day, you have used 200 watts of power, or .2 kilowatt hours of electrical energy. This article is from about.com
How do the power companies bill us? Simply said, they bill us for the kWh's based on the highest 15 or 30 minute demand period during the monthly billing cycle . Each power company may have different demand period.

The KW Sentry® unit slashes electricity usage. Reduce your power bill and help fight global warming with this researched and proven technology. Beat rising power prices. Use less electricity with the KW Sentry® unit . The KW Sentry® unit continues to prove itself as a reliable way to make significant savings on electric bills. The KW Sentry® unit is not a gimmick, it's an electromagnetic pollution control system. The KW Sentry® unit energy saver devices are small but powerful units that fit right beside your existing electrical breaker panel giving you substantial energy savings day after day and provide reliable built-in amperage surge protection for your home or business. This innovative U.S. patented, U.S. manufactured and NASA tested technology is also recognized by the U.S. Dept. of Energy. The KW Sentry® unit works by reducing the amount of power drawn from the electricity supply. The process is called Power Factor Optimization. In short, this process stores and reuses power that may otherwise be wasted by inductive motors around your home. Such motors are found in vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, washers and dryers, refrigerators, pumps and fans etc. There is no adverse effect on these motors, which actually run cooler. The result, an increased life span of these appliances, thanks to the KW Sentry® unit.
How can I start saving
money now?
By installing the KW Sentry® in your home today.
How does the KW Sentry®
lower my electric bill?
The KW Sentry® optimizes the electrical power that comes into your home allowing your appliances and equipment motors to operate more efficiently. This in turn helps lower your electric bill.
How does the KW Sentry®
green box work?
In laymen's terms the unit has capacitors inside that store electricity as it comes from your electric company much like the battery in your car that stores electric energy which it gets from your alternator. As your heavy duty appliances and motors are plugged into your household electrical system, the demand for power is sent to your KW Sentry® unit and it releases only what is needed to satisfy that demand. That means little or no waste. As the motors operate, reactive power is pulled and pushed to and from the
KW Sentry® unit at 60 cycles per second by the motor's demand for power. This whole process is called "energy optimization" or fine tuning your electric system like you would tune up your car to increase your gas mileage. The KW Sentry® unit has fourteen United States and International Patents. For more technical details see ourwebsite.
How has this technology
been proven?
This technology has been tested by the US Dept. of Energy, Underwriters Laboratory, Canadian Standards Assoc., NASA, and Honeywell. Each one of these entities has performed extensive testing on our units and has certified that it is safe and efficient to use. Our certifications include: US Patent, UL listed, ROHS compliant, NASA tested and approved, US Green Building Council, CSA and most importantly the thousands of home and business owners that own KW Sentry® units and are
realizing savings.
Do I receive a guarantee when
I invest in the KW Sentry® box?
We are so confident about the benefits that the manufacturer will provide a twelve month money back guarantee. If you see no savings on your electrical bill in that time, you can return it for a full refund of the purchase price.
Where is the unit installed?
It is installed right next to the electrical breaker box panel by a licensed electrician. One unit is usually all you need for the whole house unless your home has two panel boxes and a lot of square footage.
What is the investment required?
$795 plus installation.
How long will it take to get a
return on my investment?
From 12 to 36 months or sooner based on the demand for electricity in your home. Also, the unit is covered by limited manufacturers warranty for 12 years.

I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to the KW Sentry® box. The neighborhood I live in is all electric so my electricity bill is outrageous. I was really excited to try the KW Sentry® box not only to lower my monthly electric bill but as a first
step in going "green". After the quick and simple installation I anxiously awaited the next months bill. I was so pleased to find that my bill had gone down substantially, from $406 to $238. I am excited to see my next bill! I would recommend this product to everyone, not only for your pocket book it's good for
the planet! - Angelee B., Providence, TX
The power consumption in my home has been drastically reduced since installing the KW Sentry® unit . My last three bills were down from an average of $130 per month to $93, $73, and $77 for February 2008 and is currently on schedule for about $77 for the current month. I
installed the unit in February 2008. My home is over 30 years old and has a three year old A/C compressor and a 7 year old heating unit. I have several neighbors who have decided to put one on their house after hearing my results. I am anxious to see what savings they will get also. - Cathy F., Owner/Manager,
Cedar Creek Manor
I had the KW Sentry® system installed at my 2500 sq. ft.residence in Yucca Valley, CA in mid August of 2007. My first bill after installation was over $100 less than the previous bill. The next bill was the first one that was entirely on the KW Sentry® system. Versus the same billing period last year, I used 29,69% less units of energy. That's a lot of savings! With the
economy being the way it is this year, the KW Sentry® system may be the best financial decision I've made all year. - Stephen A.
Unit must be installed by a licensed electrician

Contractor Bobby Ferguson makes his way into Federal Court in Detroit, Monday, Jan. 7, 2013. / Andre J. Jackson/Detroit Free Press
Embattled contractor Bobby Ferguson awaiting a likely prison term along with his longtime friend and partner in crime, ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is involved in a new court case: divorce.
Marilyn Ferguson filed for divorce in Wayne County Circuit Court on Wednesday, eight days before her husband is scheduled to be sentenced in federal court on public corruption charges.
Bobby Ferguson and Kilpatrick, who both are behind bars, were convicted earlier this year of crimes including racketeering, bribery and extortion and are set to be sentenced Thursday before U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds.
Bobby Fergusons attorney Mike Rataj declined comment on the divorce filing today.
Marilyn Fergusons attorney, Todd Perkins, said, This is a private and personal matter for his client and declined to comment further.
The day after the divorce complaint was filed, the federal government filed documents detailing Bobby Fergusons prison phone calls with a girlfriend made in April, which the government contends shows he is still hiding assets.
During calls, Ferguson directed his girlfriend to handle his financial affairs while he was in prison, including making payments for items like vehicles and gift cards for his family members, the court records said. He directed her to wire money to his prison account, transfer possession of his vehicles to his relatives and get money out of a safety deposit box in Alabama, the records show.
Earlier this year, a complaint for child support was filed in Wayne County Circuit Court that said Marilyn Ferguson was getting public assistance for the couples teenage son. Rataj said then that the complaint was filed by the state.
Bobby Ferguson, who has had more than $2.2 million seized by the government, including $400,000 in assets discovered after his conviction in March, has said he is broke.
The government is seeking at least 28 years in prison for Kilpatrick and up to 28 years for Ferguson, who got $127 million in city contracts while Kilpatrick was mayor. Prosecutors said at least $73 million of that work was obtained illegally.
Fergusons lawyers have denied any wrongdoing on his part and said he earned all the money he received.
The defense has challenged the sentencing guidelines, saying the high end of Kilpatrick's sentence should be 15 years.
Ferguson also faces a retrial, set to begin on Jan. 21, on bid-rigging charges. He is accused of rigging bids on a nearly $12-million low-income housing project so that his company would win the deal. The case ended in a mistrial in June 2012 because of a hung jury.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — A Nevada Senate committee has taken a big step to not only repeal the state's heterosexual definition of marriage but to recognize all marriages "regardless of gender."
SJR13 was approved Thursday on a 3-2 party line vote by the Senate Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections. It now goes to the Senate floor.
The original language sought only to repeal language in the state Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
But a late amendment adopted by the committee adds that the state "shall recognize marriages and issue marriage licenses, regardless of gender."
Republican Sen. James Settelmeyer of Minden says he would have voted for the original bill, but he withdrew his support because he doesn't believe marriage should be in the Constitution.

This is pure speculation, and I am not going to impose a conclusion because I don't have any. However, I would like to know what the likelihood of my thought is.
I hope everyone remember a discussion on some Jutsu Minato wanted Naruto to perfect with. Most people refer to it as "That Jutsu".
To some people, it was FRS, but given that Minato gave Kyuubi to Naruto in order to perfect that Jutsu, FRS was rooted out of the list.
In most discussion, one of the greatest candidate that usually countered all possibility was Kyuubi himself - that is that Jutsu was actually mastering control over Kyuubi's power.
While I accept that Kyuubi's power great, I also have another hint I want to suggest.
1. Minato thought Tobi was dangerous, and his premonitions led him into sealing Kyuubi in his baby.
2. During the battle, the only thing that intrigued Minato the most, and the only problem he had was defeating Tobi's S/T Jutsu.
3. We also know that when Naruto fought Obito, Naruto's only problem was Obito's S/T jutsu.
4. I am convince that no matter how powerful Naruto is, Naruto cannot beat Tobi if he cannot defeat the S/T Jutsu.
From all these, I think the Jutsu Minato wanted Naruto to perfect was a space-time Jutsu. Minato said that Tobirama had one, and Tobi's was greater than theirs. Now, what would be a good basis for a S/T jutsu for Naruto?
My guess is the FTG. Interestingly, it turns out Minato's FTG was feared as much as Sharingan is feared, if not more than the sharingan. I also think that unlike normal speeding up such as the one Naruto is using, FTG cannot be counter once it is lunch because it is an instant teleportation.
So I would like to know if you guys also think that Minato knew the next level of FTG that he wanted Naruto to perfect. What would be that level?

This dashboard is meant to show the overall view of attacks/threats being detected and stopped in theenvironment by VirusScan. This is more of an executive dashboard that shows the value of the McAfee product set. A notable query is "GY-Total Infected SystemsCleaned per Week". This query does NOT return number of events, instead it returns number of unique machines that were infected.. This is important to measure UNIQUE machines that had infections not just total threat events which is typical of the default queries that come with ePO. There are countless cases where one machines can generate thousands of virus events in just a few hours and skew your total number of infections. This query will count the machines only once even if it generated thousands of events.
Update 3-19-2014
The next logical question should be "Well how many UNIQUE infected machines should I have per week?" The answer is of course, "It depends". But I will skip that canned answer and give you a definitive answer. The answer for any organization is about 1% of your total machines. I am basing this on 13 years of experience working at MFE. So if you have 10k nodes the AVERAGE organization this size should have ROUGHLY 100 unique infected machines per week. If you have 2%, then that is above the average and you need to look at your overall security and ask yourself why you are above the average and which threat vector is negatively affecting you. Is is your mail gateway? Is your web gateway? Are your end users allowed to surf anywhere on the Internet when they are at a Starbucks, etc. If you are less than 1% then you are doing well compared to the average organization.

|Identification and apoptotic potential of T-2 Toxin metabolites in human cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22551244 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The mycotoxin T-2 toxin, produced by various Fusarium species, is a widespread contaminant of grain and grain products. Knowledge about its toxicity and metabolism in the human body is crucial for any risk assessment as T-2 toxin can be detected in processed and unprocessed food samples. Cell culture studies using cells of human origin represent a potent model system to study the metabolic fate of T-2 toxin as well as the cytotoxicity in vitro. In this study the metabolism of T-2 toxin was analyzed in a cell line derived from human colon carcinoma cells (HT-29) and primary human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC) using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Fourier transformation mass spectrometry (HPLC-FTMS). Both cell types metabolized T-2 toxin to a variety of compounds. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis in RPTEC proved the apoptotic effect of T-2 toxin and its metabolites HT-2 toxin and neosolaniol in micromolar concentrations.
