Saunders Island (Spanish: Isla Trinidad) is the fourth largest of the Falkland Islands,[1] lying north west of West Falkland. The island is run as a sheep farm.
The island has an area of 131.6 km2 (50.8 sq mi) and a coastline of 106.8 km (66.4 mi).[2] It is about 21 km (13 mi) from east to west and almost that distance from north-east to south-west. It consists of three peninsulas linked by narrow necks, and it has three large upland areas. The highest point, Mount Richards, is 457 m (1,499 ft) high.[3]
Port Egmont on the island was the site of the first British settlement, established in 1765.
Unaware of the French presence at Port Louis, in January 1765, British captain John Byron explored and claimed Saunders Island, at the western end of the Falkland Islands, where he named the harbour of Port Egmont, and sailed near other islands, which he also claimed for King George III. A British settlement was built at Port Egmont in 1766. Also in 1766, Spain acquired the French colony, and after assuming effective control in 1767, placed the islands under a governor subordinate to Buenos Aires.
During the Falkland Crisis of 1770, five Spanish frigates entered the port and the small British force had to surrender. This edged Britain and Spain closer to war. In 1771, Spain agreed to abandon Port Egmont to the British. In 1776, for economic reasons, the British abandoned Port Egmont. At that time, they placed a plaque at the site proclaiming their sovereignty over the Falklands. The island's present settlement, appropriately called Saunders Island Settlement, lies on the east coast and has an airstrip.
There is one listed building here, known as the Stone House.[4]
Conservation issues include the danger of fire, some erosion prone areas near the coast, overgrazing and the presence of feral cats, mice, rats and rabbits. Clearance of these introduced species is unlikely in the near future because of the size of the island and the varied geography. Spear thistle, accidentally introduced to the island, is a problem; volunteers helped to control the infestation in the autumn of 2003 and there are hopes that the plant can eventually be eradicated.[5] There is a small breeding colony of southern elephant seals at Elephant Point, while a few southern right whales come into bays to rest or feed.
Important Bird Area[edit]
Saunders Island has been identified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area (IBA). Birds for which the site is of conservation significance include Falkland steamer ducks (250 breeding pairs), ruddy-headed geese, gentoo penguins (6700 pairs), southern rockhopper penguins (6900 pairs), macaroni penguins (4200 pairs), black-browed albatrossess (11,000 pairs) and white-bridled finches.[3] The island is near the southernmost range limit of the Magellanic penguin,[6] while gentoos range much further south into Antarctica. The Royal Air Force Ornithological Society's members conducted a complete coastal survey in 1995.[3]

Forensic psychology is one of the fastest growing areas of psychology. Practitioners may find work employment options in the field, mental health law, and the treatment and evaluation of offenders.
The Forensic Psychology Area of Study within the Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program at our Washington D.C. campus prepares students to apply the science and profession of psychology to questions and issues related to law and the legal system.
Students at The Chicago School's Washington, D.C. Campus Clinical Psychology program have the opportunity to take advantage of the school's proximity to key agencies including The District of Columbia's Department of Mental Health and Prince George County Department of Corrections.
Through a range of practicum and volunteer experiences at forensic psychiatric hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and courts of law students train alongside clinicians who have a breadth of knowledge in:
Students in the Forensic Psychology Area of Study will experience firsthand the delivery of efficacious interventions to address the complex mental health needs of adults and adolescents involved with the legal system, including severe mental illness and co-occurring disorders. Particular emphasis is placed on exposing students to the variety of professional roles, both clinical and research, assumed by psychologists in forensic settings.
Graduates from our Washington, D.C. Clinical Psychology Psy.D. program will have a basic knowledge in clinical forensic psychology, enabling them to bring psychology into the legal and public policy arenas in an ethical, academically focused, and research-based manner. Those specializing in this area will be among the highest in demand for the delivery of services to correctional facilities, law enforcement agencies, courts, attorneys, and lawmakers.
Upon graduation, clinical psychology students are qualified to sit for national licensure as clinical psychologists, provided they pass the appropriate licensure examination and complete any state-required post-doctoral residency requirements. Outside agencies control the requirements for taking and passing certification/licensing exams and are subject to change without notice to this campus.
Provides students with the fundamental aspects of conducting violence and risk assessment evaluations and the manner in which opinions are communicated. Students gain an understanding of empirically-based risk factors and assessment tools used to conduct violence and risk evaluations, as well as management strategies employed to ameliorate risk/risk conditions. Practical exercises drawn from actual cases are used to illustrate key concepts.
Explores psychological origins and dynamics of criminal behavior from the viewpoint of psychological theories. Students discuss treatment of the different types of offender populations (antisocial personality, female offenders, sex offenders, etc.) within the criminal justice system. It also explores psychological theories related to etiology, development and prediction of violent crime, and types of intervention possible within the criminal justice setting. Topic areas include special offender populations (sex offender, offenders with developmental disabilities, or those classified as mentally retarded).
Examines mental health law as it relates to civil and criminal practice. The relationship between psychopathology and crime, the insanity defense and other issues of criminal responsibility, competency to stand trial and otherwise participate in the legal process, involuntary hospitalization, and the clinician as expert witness are explored. Case studies and court reports are used to illustrate the key concepts of this course.

ST. CLOUD, Minn -- You've heard it before. It only takes a moment and everything can change.
For Jean Johnson, someone else's momentary distraction led to her long and courageous story of recovery.
"It's been hard. It's been very hard," says Jean.
More than four years ago, Jean was the passenger in her friend's car. On a rural road near St. Cloud, a driver t-boned them by running a stop sign at 60 miles per hour.
Authorities said the driver who hit them was distracted by her two small children and took her eyes off the road.
Jean's friend was killed and in that instant Jean's life changed.
"The only thing that I do remember is babysitting my niece and my nephew that day," says Jean. "Next thing I knew I woke up at HCMC."
Surgeons repaired Jean's torn aorta, but the lasting impact is not in her heart, but in her head. Jeans lives with a traumatic brain injury.
"You think of the impact - 60 miles an hour and your brain is like Jell-O inside the bones basically," says Jean.
The brain injury made it impossible for jean to continue working. And she can't enjoy the things she used to like travelling, living without physical pain.
But despite all of that, Jean is determined to prevent what happened to her from happening to anyone else.
"I'm not a quitter type of person. I just keep going and make the best of what I have," says Jean.
KARE 11 caught up with Jean at Annandale High School. Jean talked to a Driver's Ed class about the dangers of distracted driving, the crash and the impact.
"It is an important thing when you get in that car to remember that it's not just about you in that car. You are responsible for everyone around you," Jean told the class.
For these kids, texting or talking on cell phones while driving is the biggest problem.
"Hearing all the stuff with cell phones, I'm going to just not touch it or put it far away from me on silent where I can't reach it," says Kristina Steffen, one of the students who listened to Jean's presentation.
According to the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota, car crashes are the second leading cause of brain injury. And crash investigators will tell you that most crashes are caused by distracted driving. Cell phone use among young people one of the leading distractions.
"They tell me that once you have a brain injury you will always have it. It's a matter of adjusting to it and learning how to function in your new world."
While Jean Johnson can't remember the crash that nearly killed her she hopes the young people she speaks to don't forget her visit. And based on the notes they write to her, they likely won't.
"After hearing this story I will be a very safe and smart driver," Jean reads from one of the notes she received from a student.
"This has been an amazing class to get this kind of a response like I did. This is good. It tells me that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing. I am where I am supposed to me," says Jean.
According to the Brain Injury Association of Minnesota, the annual incidence of traumatic brain injury is six times the combined annual incidence of breast cancer, HIV-AIDS and multiple sclerosis.
And if you're interested in contacting Jean, you can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick makes his way to federal court in Detroit, on Monday, Feb. 11, 2013. / ANDRE J. JACKSON/Detroit Free Press
On day two of deliberations, a question emerged from the jury room in the public corruption trial of ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father and his friend.
The jurors, who went home just before 5 p.m. with no verdict today, asked for clarification about an amendment to a multimillion-dollar sewer repair contract that prosecutors say involved extortion. The jury was stuck on an issue in Count 3, which charges both Kilpatrick and his contractor friend Bobby Ferguson with extorting $175,000 from a company that was involved in a sewer lining project.
Jurors heard plenty about that contract during trial, when Grosse Pointe tycoon Anthony Soave testified that his firm, Inland Waters, hired Ferguson to work on the project at the behest of Kilpatrick, who, he said, was holding up the $50 million deal unless Ferguson was hired.
The jurys question involved an amendment to that contract. According to testimony, Inland Waters paid Ferguson $175,000 for no-show work to get Kilpatrick to authorize a $10 million amendment to its existing contract. The government says that Kilpatrick refused to sign the amendment unless his friend Ferguson was paid the $175,000 he was demanding. But the defense argued that Ferguson was owed that money, and that there was no extortion.
The jury wanted clarification about the amendment that the government says was held up. Court officials said it was determined that the question could be handled in a conference call, without requiring the defense lawyers and prosecutors to come to court.
The jury, which sat through a five-month-long trial and heard testimony from 90 witnesses, has to issue verdicts on 30 counts for Kilpatrick; 11 counts for Ferguson; and four counts for Bernard Kilpatrick.
All men are charged with running a criminal enterprise through the mayors office to enrich themselves. The indictment includes many charges: racketeering, extortion, bribery, mail/wire fraud, attempted extortion and filing false taxes.
If convicted, they each face up to 20 years in prison.
Deliberations resume Thursday.

Our very own Paul Reed is set to take on Polish fighter, Sabastian Graberek at next month's MMC Fight Club.
Reed, who is currently 20-10-1 (sherdog) has fought some of best in the business, with names such as Brad Pickett and Akira Corassani on his resume. He has also fought on some of the biggest shows there are, from KSW to BAMMA and is also a Cage Rage veteran.
He isn't getting any younger, but is coming off of a quick win against Craig Allen at Kore MMA 2 and is also fighting in Finland this weekend (November 17th) against a top quality European opponent in Tom Niinimaki. A win over such a well decorated fighter will hold him in good stead for his next bout with Grabarek at MMC-FC on December 16th.
Grabarek, 5-3-1 (sherdog), is a tough durable fighter hailing from Poland who will present a stern challenge for Reed, however. Previously on a 3 win streak, he is currently 0-2-1 in his last 3 fights so will be hungrier than ever to get back into the win column.
With MMC's strong Polish roots, there is sure to be a great support for the Polish fighters, so although it will be in Reed's back yard, Grabarek will be looking to cause an upset for the home supporters and give the Polish fans something to cheers for.
This fight presents a great show for the fans, with the experience that Reed brings to the cage, and the challenge that Graberek offers, I cannot wait for these two warriors to enter the cage. Let's do this!
MMC Fight Club takes place on December 16th at London's Indig02 arena and is headlines by a mouth watering heavyweight fight between Oli Thompson and Damien Grabowski.

Make-up Tips and Tricks
by Bridget
WHOO HOO! Doesn't just saying "summertime" make you feel HAPPY! Well it is rapidly approaching and THE DIVAS have some fabulous and fun ways to enhance your natural beauty, just in time for SUMMER! We have said it before….and we will say it again. It's important to FEEL beautiful….and confidence is super attractive to your spouse! So – try out some of these tricks before your next date night!
I am personally a bit of a make-up junkie and I have A TON of tips and tricks in my arsenal so I will start this off!!!
Probably my favorite trick and tip of all time is using a little highlighter. This can be highlighting cream or as simple as a little bit of shimmery eyeshadow. There are two places that a tiny bit of highlighter can give you a MAJOR boost. Take your choice of shimmering highlighter and add a little to the inner corners of your eyes. This will help give you that I totally slept 8 hours look.
Then the most fun place to use highlighter is on your cupids bow! What? You don't know what that is or even what I am talking about. Okay it is that little dip on the top of your upper lip. If you don't have it then that means you have BIG FULL Angelina Jolie lips and you don't need any help and most of us HATE YOU! Just kidding but I am jealous! Okay so for those of us who want and need a little added fullness to our lips, just take your highlighter and dab it right on your upper dip on both sides. It subtly adds a pretty enhancement to your lips!
Tara has a few products she can't live without…
- Mary Kay Timewise Moisturizer – This help Tara balance out her combination skin (oily and dry).
- Philosophy the Present – This is a fabulous Primer that Tara uses before her make-up to keep away oil and keep her make-up on all day long!
- Jane Iredale Pressed Powder and Jane Iredale Pommist Hydration Spray – The Pressed Powder helps Tara avoid that cakey foundation feeling because the powder is so light and can easily cover your freckles or let them shine through. Her finishing step is the hydration spray. It sets her make-up and makes her skin feel GREAT! She has finally convinced her hubby to let her spray his face once in a while! SUPER HEALTHY!
Erika has an awesome eyelash trick that will BLOW you away!
She heats up her eyelash curler with a blow dryer. The heat helps curl stubborn eyelashes. So simple but has a MAJOR effect.
Kiirsten has a sexy cat eye trick to get your man's attention, plus she has an expert way to wear false lashes seen here.
Simply begin at the inner corner of your eyelid and follow your lash line, increasing the thickness of your line just slightly as you go towards the outer corner of your eyelid. Pulling the skin slightly taught helps. Once you reach the outer corner, you want to extend the line beyond the end of your eyelid as far as desired. Keep going in one continuous line instead of trying to change the angle at all. The natural curvature of your eye will make it look curved a bit when you relax. By the time you reach this point, your eyeliner is considerably thicker on the outside edge than the inner corner, and you want to "connect" the farthest point of the line to the actual outer point of your eyelid with a nice line to finish off the cat eye. Be careful not to extend your cat eye out too far. If this happens, just grab a q-tip, wet it slightly and "erase" the outer edge at a 45 degree angle. This trick is going to take a few tries to perfect but the end result gives you that WOW factor!
Cami's make-up trick is no make-up! Sometimes going au natural is the best thing of all. It lets your skin breathe and you can appreciate your natural beauty.
She just uses a little bit of Aveeno's brightening moisturizer to get glowing.
Lisa P. has an awesome eyeliner trick. She always gets tons of compliments using this trick. She pulls her eyelid out and draws on the inside for a natural look.
She also doesn't use a traditional pencil which helps a lot. She uses Covergirl's perfect point plus eyeliner.
Kari has found the best foundation out there! It is Mac Studio Fix Fluid and here is the link. Thanks for taking the guess work out of it for the rest of us, Kari!
She also has a trick for beautiful summer skin, use Jergens face bronzer instead of foundation for hot summer days when your make-up just melts off anyway.
Kristen tints her eyelashes to avoid even having to wear mascara when traveling to the beach. You have to have a professional do this but it lasts about 4 to 6 weeks and is perfect if you have light colored lashes.
She also uses Softlips shimmer lip balm to give a little bit of color and SPF (it is so important to use SPF at least 15 when you are out in the sun).
Wendy uses Copper eyeliner to enhance her beautiful baby blues!
Metallic liner is such a great way to make your eyes stand out especially in the summer.
Corie knows that the trick to keeping lipstick in place is to use liner first and fill in your lips (use one that matches your lip color not the lipstick you are using)
Then use lipstick on top of that followed by a little gloss on the middle of your bottom lip to add fullness.
Lisa M. uses basics like bronzer, lipgloss, and black mascara to keep her look easy and breezy during warm Summer months.
These Makeup tips are so fun! I think we have established that the Divas love MAC Makeup! Another product line we love is ELF because most of their stuff is only a dollar!!!! You can get everything you need to be SUMMER ready right here – E.L.F. Cosmetics – $1 Makeup!
We hope you like our FAB make-up tips. Hopefully they keep you looking like a Goddess all summer long! I can't wait to try out some of these products and tricks for myself! Please share any tricks you use, we would love to hear them!

Oooh, I love the eye makeup with the brown eyes! What did you use? Thanks for all of these other tips! They're awesome!
Bridget! This post turned out great!! Thanks for all the great tips!
I really like Ballmania lip balm. It comes in a decorated ball that is easy to find in the bottom of your purse. It also is sold under the name "Twist and Pout." You can find it in salons and spas and at Amazon.com. It's great alone or under lipstick to keep my lips moisturized and smooth. It also has a great citrus flavor. Plus it has a SPF 20 to keep my lips and my kids' lips protected for those fun days in the sun!

Someone Could Be Advertising on Your Web Site
A common way malicious hackers try to obtain information about how your website works is to generate errors and see what is displayed. It is particularly important to stop these giving away information that might help someone break into your web site, but equally you should make sure these pages are not advertising someone else's products and services.
When a web site is developed and then set up on the web server(s), it is possible to define customised error pages for all sorts of unusual events like application errors, internal server errors and, the one most people will recognise, not found. The latter is sent back when a page or other file's address is requested but does not exist. The web server sends a response status code of 404 which means "not found" and the text from whichever document has been set for this. By default many sites will return text which gives away the operating system and web server software:
But some hosting companies rather naughtily hope to gain revenue from people typing the wrong address, following an old link or clicking a dead link on another page. Instead of showing a page from your own web site, or the default web server message, they display an advert for themselves and/or adverts for other web sites. These may neither be what you expect, nor want to be associated with. Here is one from a UK limited company's web site:
Check you own web site by typing an address like:
http://[your host name]/123456doesnotexist
or something similar. Hopefully, you will see a page in the style of your own web site with an apologetic message, and not anything else. If not, speak to your developers (or hosting company) and ask them to "add custom error pages for all possible web server errors" and make sure they are your own design. Also ask them to "ensure errors return the correct HTTP response status codes" - this is especially important for correct indexing by search engines.
Here's an example showing how to do it correctly from the British Library:
If you have more than one domain, host name, or also have an HTTPS address, check them all separately. This advertising could also exist on domains you have purchased, but are not currently using for a site.

|X-linked Hyper IgM Syndrome: A Novel Sequence Variant Associated With An Atypical Mild Phenotype.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22322937 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|X-linked hyper IgM syndrome is associated with abnormalities in the gene encoding CD40 ligand (CD40LG). A typical phenotype evolves during infancy in affected males. This phenotype includes neutropenia, dysgammaglobulinemia, bacterial sinopulmonary infections, and opportunistic infections. In the absence of the typical phenotypic features, clinicians must maintain a high level of suspicion for X-linked hyper IgM syndrome. We describe a unique hemizygous CD40LG mutation which was discovered in a 12-year-old boy with chronic severe neutropenia, a normal IgG level, and absence of sinopulmonary or opportunistic infections. The clinical implications of this mutation and associated atypical phenotype are discussed.

This blogger, being a Brit himself, is wondering whether Warhammer Online won't be the most significant (and successful) British cultural export since Monty Python. Yes, it's made by EA Mythic, but there's no denying that Britishness saturates it through and through. Hardly surprising, given that the original Warhammer wargames and roleplaying games were a product of the British gaming scene. But how is that fish-and-chips lovely-cuppa-tea flavor different from what gamers are used to?
The most obvious point of contact is humor: like the aforementioned Python, the humor is unmistakeably British. All the same elements are there. For example, snotty high-class attitudes and the mockery thereof. The satirical portrayal of some of the Elves, both High and Dark, isn't a million miles from Python's Upper Class Twit of the Year, and the snide cut-glass voices of the Dark lot (and their interactions with the greenies) recall Blackadder.
|Did you enjoy this? Make sure to check out all of our previous Warhammer Online features, and don't miss any of our ongoing coverage as Massively goes to WAR!
We Brits also love to lampoon our own more cloddish citizens. It's common knowledge that the Greenskins derive some of their loutish cameraderie from British football hooligans. In fact, the one thing the British love to do best - and arguably do better than any other culture on the planet - is to mock the British, in all our social divides. Mickey-taking and sarcasm are in our blood. The nation that has God Save the Queen as its national anthem is also the nation that produced the Sex Pistols' punk classic of the same name.
The other thing we do rather well is snark. Dry, nasty snark, as Yahtzee frequently broadcasts to the world. For some reason, and Stewie Griffin could possibly enlighten us here, snarkiness in an English accent is exceptionally tasty. Could it be because we're so used to thinking of English voices as polite and deferential?
With irreverence so fundamental to British humor, we should expect to see irreverence towards the genre itself emerge in Warhammer Online. (And indeed, we do. Relatively early on, characters are likely to unlock the 'Ow, my eye' title for excessive clicking on yourself.)
Games in the fantasy genre frequently partake of a peculiar ongoing legacy - a sort of wistful self-importance, in which regal scenery and soft-focus smiling elfin maidens represent what is 'good' in the world. That's characteristic of a kind of romanticism that the Brits are far less prone to than others, possibly because we have grown up with the warts-and-all realities behind many fantasy tropes: a monarchy, a country sprinkled with castles, pubs older than entire democracies, neolithic monuments a train ride away. Because we're exposed to it on a daily basis, we're irreverent towards it, and that same irreverence shows through in Warhammer Online.

If Hurricane Sandy knocks the power out, many local gas stations - including Rutter's Farm Stores, Tom's and Royal Farms - close their doors.
In other words, forget pumping gas or stocking up on last-minute supplies.
"If the store does not have power, it will be closed," said Scott Hartman, Rutter's president and chief executive officer. "We do not have backup generators."
Rutter's operates 57 convenience stores in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Closing stores also limits spoilage of perishable inventory in the event of an outage, Hartman said.
Allowing customers to open and close the refrigerator doors inside the store will cause items like milk to get warmer and spoil faster.
During an outage, Hartman said, Rutter's monitors the temperature of those coolers.
It's a similar story at the five Tom's convenience stores in York County, which don't have backup power either, said Shipley Energy spokesman Bob Astor.
"If the power goes out for an extended period of time, where are you going to go?" he said. "Why do you have to go anywhere?"
Royal Farms is treating the hurricane "like a snowstorm-type situation," said Rob Rinehart, director of gasoline trading.
Early preparations included removing the large inflatable chicken from the chain's new store at Route 30 and Roosevelt Avenue in York.
"We're hoping most people filled their tanks up already," he said. "Our sales have been huge. Fuel delivery has had a hard time keeping up with supply."
Royal Farms will close any of its four York County stores if they lose power, he said.
"Everything's so computerized and electronic these days," he said. "If you don't have power, there's next to no way to handle the business."
In addition, he said, prolonged power outages and loss of perishable food can be "catastrophic."
"When you do lose power, you do lose all that food," he said. "It's a pretty significant financial hit."
Vendors are also monitoring the possibility of a squeeze in supplies from gasoline refineries in the Philadelphia area, along with pump outages along the pipeline that could stop the fuel from arriving at a terminal in Harrisburg, where most of the region's gas is picked up for distribution.
"There have been some notices put out," Hartman said. "They've been saying there's a possibility they could shut the pipeline. If the refineries are closed, there's not adequate gas."
If outages shut down a refinery, there's less gasoline in the pipeline that carries fuel from Philadelphia to Reading, where it splits into two lines headed toward Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
You "can't pump gas through a half-filled pipeline," he added.
The pipeline itself is equipped with pumps that move the gasoline along. Some of those pumps, Hartman said, do not have backup generators.
Extra gas, however, is stored at areas along the pipeline in case of emergency, Hartman said.
"It would all depend on how long it would be shut down," he added. "When you cut the artery and the blood stops flowing, sooner or later you're going to run out of gas."

So I'll be starting physical therapy soon. Probably next week. The physical therapy place is right in the same building with my surgeon. They share a computer system since when I went over there they already had all of my info in the computer.
I have never been to physical therapy in my life. What can I expect? I noticed on the sheet that I brought over there from my surgeon it said to work on strength, stretching, pain relief. There was one more but I can't remember what it was. I'm going to be a nervous wreck. The only thing I feel safe doing is walking and that hurts if I do it more then 20 minutes.

Utah's nonfarm wage and salaried job count for March 2012, as generated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), expanded by 2.3 percent compared against the employment level for March 2011. This is a 12-month increase of 27,400 jobs, and raises total wage and salary employment to 1,218,100.
The seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate—generated by BLS—is Utah's other primary indicator of current labor market conditions and registers 5.8 percent. Approximately 78,150 Utahns are considered to be unemployed. The current United States unemployment rate, as compared to last month, fell one-tenth of a percentage-point to 8.2 percent.
Most of Utah's industrial sectors have added jobs over the past 12 months, with the exception being the leisure and hospitality sector. The employment gains are diverse and fairly evenly distributed among the various industrial sectors, and that is a strong point in the current economic profile.
The industry in front of Utah's economic recovery is professional and business services. Approximately 5,600 new positions have been added over the past 12 months. Nearly all are coming in the high-paying professional and technical industries like legal services, computer systems design, consulting, and market research.
Manufacturing jobs are estimated to have grown by 5,200 positions over the past 12 months.
Education and healthcare remain as stalwarts in the economic employment picture. The sector has grown by 4,000 positions over the past 12 months. These gains are equally split between private education (public education is grouped in government) and the healthcare industry. The demand for both of these industries' products is driven by the size of the local population, its growth, and developing changes in the demographic structure.
The trade and transportation sector measured employment gains of around 3,800 over the past year. Most of these are on the trade side, with a nearly equal distribution between wholesale trade and retail trade.
One of the industries hit hard by the economic downturn was financial activities. Although its employment level is still below its pre-recession peak —as are most of Utah's industrial sectors—this industry is finally seeing a rebound in employment activity. Approximately 2,900 jobs have re-emerged in this sector over the past 12 months.
Approximately 2,800 more construction jobs are observed in March than were there 12 months ago, and this without any notable contribution yet from the home-building market.
The natural resource industry has grown by 900 positions over the past year, largely due to natural gas and oil activities in the Uintah Basin of eastern Utah.
Estimates are that the leisure and hospitality industry is seeing 800 fewer jobs statewide now than were recorded at this time last year.

Christ The King Mission
Who We Are
Our Beliefs
Matthew 28:18-20
"And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Mark 16:15-18
"And he said to them, Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."
It is our desire to be a community of faith that celebrates God's Grace, Salvation and Love through the Liturgy, Word and Sacraments. We are a new church with an old historic message that has come through the early church. We are a new community of faith, but you have known of us for a long time. We are people like yourself in the Lord with the desire to know God and walk in faith together in Christian community. We want to celebrate our heritage as a culturally diverse group but sharing the single biblical message of Jesus Christ's Son, Savior and only way to the Father. We are glad you tune in with us today to this new journey of faith and mission through God's power and leading at the Christ the King Mission Church.
Congratulations and blessings to our new Deacon Samuel Makuach ordained on Sunday, September 9th by Bishop Roger Ames (ACNA-Great Lakes Diocese). Everyone in is invited to a special celebration service at Christ the King on Sunday, Sept. 23rd to share in the joy of Samuel's ordination and ministry
Christ the King Anglican Church Believes……
WE BELIEVE and uphold the eternal truths revealed by God through His Son and His Word. These truths define values that shape our identity and guide the expressions of our faith – our words, our actions and our worship.
Commitment to Jesus Christ
WE BELIEVE that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone Who is the only begotten Son of the Living God. Through Him, all who come to Him by faith and repent of their sins, receive forgiveness through Christ's death on the Cross and live in newness of life through the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. This new life of faith is to be marked by a joyful obedience to Jesus Christ, to God's Word and to the leading of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 16:15-16; Ephesians 2:4-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Galatians 5:22-25).
Authority of Scripture
WE BELIEVE that the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments in their entirety is God's Word, and is the standard by which we are to order our lives, express our faith and function as a community (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
WE BELIEVE that we are to live our lives, to make disciples and to grow our churches in a manner that expresses the loving and longing heart of God for those who are separated from Jesus Christ and His Church (Matthew 9:12-13; Luke 15; I Timothy 4:1-5).
Relational Ministry
WE ARE COMMITTED to ministry being accomplished in relationships which express the love, intimacy, and unity of God as revealed in the relationship of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (John 13:34; 1 John 4:11-21).
WE ARE COMMITTED to worship in Word and Sacrament, through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our worship-in glorifying God-is to be authentic and relevant to our cultural setting while remaining within the breadth of our Anglican Tradition (John 4:23-24; I Corinthians 11:23-26; Acts 17:22-24).
Servant Ministry
WE BELIEVE that every Christian is created for ministry, gifted for ministry and needed for ministry. We are, therefore, committed to equip, empower and release the faithful to use their spiritual gifts to glorify God and to build up the Body of Christ (Romans 12; I Corinthians 12-13).
Sacrificial Giving
WE BELIEVE that we are to be generous with our time, talents and money as we share with those in need, support the work of God among us, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ (I John 3:17-18; Ezra 2:68-69; Acts 2:44-47).
Expectant Prayer
WE BELIEVE that nothing of significance happens in Gods Kingdom in the absence of prayer. Therefore, we seek to make prayer a priority-inviting God to lead, restore, heal and transform our lives.
Our Beliefs and Practices
The Book of Common Prayer guides our liturgy and includes historic documents, the ancient church Creeds, an Outline of the Faith, and The 39 Articles of Religion that summarize the essentials of our faith. These include, among others, the revelation of God as Trinity, the bodily resurrection and ongoing presence of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the authority of Scripture, and the Lords Supper as a means of ongoing communion with Christ.

|Morales knows he's getting back to full strength after hitting a homer on Monday against the A's. (Getty Images)
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The big man flexed his muscles and re-introduced himself as a card-carrying force in the middle of the Angels' lineup.
While Pujols continues to find his footing in his new home, it was Morales who had the struggling Angels' dugout jumping for joy -- well, maybe that's a bad choice of words -- when he belted his first home run in nearly two years Monday night.
And when he returned to the dugout, manager Mike Scioscia cracked up more than a few Angels.
"He looked over at Kendrys and said, 'You finally hit a home run you didn't get hurt on," hitting coach Mickey Hatcher reported.
Yes, while the Angels await one big man to figure it out, the other is showing signs of lift-off.
Morales hadn't homered since May 29, 2010, when he obliterated his left ankle while leaping on the plate following a game-winner against Seattle.
|More on Athletics-Angels
|Related links
|More MLB Coverage
Now, he says, look out.
"It felt extremely good," Morales told me through a translator Tuesday. "I haven't hit one in the regular season in a long time.
"They're going to come in bunches now."
Mark those words, and we'll see if his prediction comes true.
"I think you'll see that happen with Albert, too," Hatcher said. "The first couple of games, things kind of clicked off for him. But now he's starting to feel like he did in spring training."
Never before at the start of a season has Pujols gone this long without a homer. With a career average of one every 14.3 at-bats, Pujols is now up to 45 homerless at-bats to begin 2012. He's hitting just .267, with four doubles and four RBI over 11 games.
The longest homerless drought of his career came last April and May -- a span of 105 at-bats.
"I'm doing great," Pujols said of adjusting to new surroundings. "I don't look at the numbers. Numbers don't judge how I feel.
"I've had good, quality at-bats lately. You look at my last 20 at-bats, I've been smoking the ball. What can you do? That's why it's a long season."
Meaning, in the end, his numbers will be there.
"Think about it," Torii Hunter said. "The National League is totally different than the American League. He doesn't know the ballparks, the pitching. Let him get acclimated."
No matter how slow Pujols is traveling now, Athletics manager Bob Melvin noted, "you always know where Albert is."
Melvin also said that the Angels "have plenty of insulation around him. Morales was 0 for 14, and then you see the type of at-bats he had Monday night."
Morales busted out of the oh-fer by going 3 for 4 to push his average from .200 to .265 in one evening, then went 2 for 4 in the Angels' 5-3 loss Tuesday to boost his average to .289.
But it was on Monday when he announced his return with a homer, single and double. He also narrowly missed a second homer to left-center field, another fly ball victim to the cool, Southern California night air.
"That second ball Kendrys hit, that's probably out in any other park," Hatcher said. "But our park doesn't play that way."
Hatcher said Pujols understands that, and the hitting coach predicts that when Pujols begins homering "in bunches", those bunches will come on the road more often than not. Maybe that won't completely please Angels fans who have gobbled up tickets to the tune of 5,000 season seats since he signed. But they'll get over it if he starts putting baseballs over fences somewhere.
Pujols is back to working like a maniac with the hitting tee, which is his trusted back-to-basics starter's kit. And Hatcher says he sees progress.
But so far, it's as if Pujols has been declawed.
Eventually, once that changes, Hatcher predicts Angels rivals will say, "hey, we're not going to pitch to Albert", at which point the insulation surrounding him that Melvin speaks of will take over.
That's where a healthy and productive Morales, who finished fifth in the AL MVP voting in 2009, his last full season, becomes one of the most pivotal players in the game.
Will those home runs come in bunches, easing the pressure on an offense that ranked 10th in the league in runs scored last season and giving Jered Weaver, Dan Haren, C.J. Wilson and Ervin Santana some wiggle room?
Or will coming back from nearly two years away bring with it the periodic coughing and sputtering that you'd expect?
"He's strong, man," new Angels reliever LaTroy Hawkins said. "He shook my hand about a month ago, and it was like 'oh, my goodness.' Certain people, they shake your hand and you never forget it. I'll never forget that."
Morales says he feels like his swing is back, but he's still working on some "little things."
"Getting comfortable in the batter's box," he says, and that doesn't exactly sound so little now, does it?
While he is back to running at full speed, he admits that thoughts of his ankle are "still in the back of my head."
So forget the idea of, say, 15 or 20 steals.
"No chance," Morales says, chuckling. "No chance."
That's OK. The Angels have had him fielding ground balls at first base since opening day, maybe for a day when they can get Pujols off his feet but keep his bat in the lineup as DH. Morales is nowhere close to playing in the field yet, Scioscia says, but you know the drill. You've gotta walk before you can run in this game.
And with the Angels watching closely, nobody knows that better than Morales.
"Two years, we've been waiting for him to come back," Hunter says. "You could see the excitement on his face when he hit that homer. And there are going to be many more.
"This right here, this is going to be a distant memory."

"In February of this year, Congress passed the FAA Reauthorization Act, with its provision to deploy fleets of drones domestically.
An unclassified US air force document reported by CBS (pdf) news expands on this unprecedented and unconstitutional step.
The air force document explains that the air force will be overseeing the deployment of its own military surveillance drones within the borders of the US; that it may keep video and other data it collects with these drones for 90 days without a warrant – and will then, retroactively, determine if the material can be retained – which does away for good with the fourth amendment in these cases.
In other words, the Pentagon can now send a domestic drone to hover outside your apartment window, collecting footage of you and your family, if the secretary of Defense approves it.
What can we do if we want to oppose this? According to Stanley, many states are passing legislation banning domestic drone use. Once again, in the fight to keep America a republic, grassroots activism is pitched in an unequal contest against a militarized federal government."
The coming drone attack on America – Guardian
I tend to zone out when I hear 'unconstitutional' – I think it is overused, and most do not know what the constitution says, but drones are going to be far more prolific and part of the skies above whether we like it or not. The first thought that comes to mind is if you've got nothing to hide, then who cares, safer right? As the movies and TV now show, surveillance is good for us because it helps the good-looking FBI agent track down the killer. So lead the lifestyle that the government would like you to have. That's ok right? Government has shown repeatedly its ability to make great choices. And as the article mentions, imagine how nice and comfortable you will feel when the domestic drones are weaponised. For our own safety of course.

Cardinals beat Rangers, win World Series
Posted on: October 28, 2011 11:22 pm
Edited on: October 28, 2011 11:32 pm
By Matt Snyder
ST. LOUIS -- For the 11th time in franchise history, the St. Louis Cardinals are World Series champions. They won Game 7 Friday night to once again secure the crown.
Hero: Have to go with Chris Carpenter here. He is 36, had already piled up 250-plus innings (regular season and postseason) on his gimpy elbow and was going on three days' rest for just the second time in his career. And the first four batters he faced? Single, walk, double, double. But that was it. Two runs. He ended up working six strong and holding down the powerful Rangers' offense. You can't say enough about the effort from the ace. Yes, that's his job. But it doesn't mean he's not the hero of Game 7.
Goat: Scott Feldman faced six batters. He walked three (one intentional, sure) and hit one with a pitch. It was just a 3-2 game before Feldman's brutal 2/3 of an inning. By the time C.J. Wilson hit a man with the bases loaded (which Feldman left him), it was 5-2 Cardinals and the feeling that the game was over had started to seep into Busch Stadium. There's a lot of blame to go around, but Feldman's debacle was the worst.
Turning point: The Rangers had all the momentum after the top of the first, but the Cardinals answered right back with two of their own in the first. And then Allen Craig hit a home run in the bottom of the third, and the Cardinals had everything under control.
It was over when ... Yadier Molina singled to tack on the sixth run. It was the bottom of the seventh, and a 6-2 lead -- combined with the general feel that it was the nail in the proverbial coffin -- appeared insurmountable. And it was.
Next: Pitchers and catchers report in mid-February. We'll also be getting free agency and trades here quite soon in the offseason. If you combine the improbable runs of the Cardinals and Rays in the regular with the great postseason -- and heart-stopping World Series -- this has to go down as one of the great seasons in recent memory. It's time to just reflect back on all the exciting baseball we saw this season, especially in the past six weeks.

Cardinals beat Rangers, win World Series
I am so happy the Cards won. So just like last year I can say The Phillies lost to the best. To the World Series Campions. But the question on the front is the best world series in the last ten years. Without a doubt it was the Boston Red Sox who was counted out. What a great Chamionship for them, the city and all the lovers of Baseball. Yankee fans weren't happy that year. Texas is getting closer and closer every year. So I believe it will happen. P.S. Boston was not an option on the front page. I don't know why.

Cardinals beat Rangers, win World Series
How's that July 27th trade with the Blue Jays looking now?I had just talked about this on the game recap here on CBS Sports, without that deal they don't go on that unbelievable run they did, Rasmus was obviously causing some tension in the club house, getting rid of him was also addition by subtraction. Good trade for the Jays thought too, get rid of a couple relievers and flip a starting pitcher into Rasmus who should have a good career in Toronto, or atleast get his value up to be dealt by the time superstar in waiting Gose comes to the bigs.
Enjoy it while you can St Louis fans, if someone waves enough dough in Pujols face he might just take off, despite his bromance with LaRussa.

A Liquid Design for Cheaper Fuel Cells
A platinum-free liquid cathode could cut fuel-cell costs by 40 percent.
Platinum remains the best material for speeding chemical reactions in hydrogen fuel cells, although the scarcity and cost of this element keep fuel cells from becoming more affordable and practical. Most alternative approaches involve simply replacing the platinum in the electrodes. Now a U.K. company called ACAL Energy has overhauled fuel cell design to reduce the amount of platinum used by 80 percent.
In a conventional fuel cell, platinum is embedded in porous carbon electrodes. ACAL's design replaces this with a solution containing low-cost molybdenum and vanadium as the catalyst. The resulting fuel cell works as well as a conventional one but should cost 40 percent less, the company says.
ACAL says its design gives power densities of 600 milliwatts per square centimeter at 0.6 volts. The benchmark value for automotive fuel cells is 900 milliwatts per square centimeter, says Hubert Gasteiger, a visiting professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. ACAL also claims that its fuel cell works unpressurized–adding pressure should increase the power density further.
The new system's power density could reach 1.5 watts per square centimeter, says Andrew Creeth, ACAL's co-founder and chief technology officer. "We believe that we're getting close to a marketable product," he says.
The company has already made a one-kilowatt system that it intends to sell to select customers next year, and the fuel cells should be available more widely in 2011. The plan is to first target the market for diesel generators with one- to 10-kW systems, then move on to larger applications such as home power generation and electric cars.
The platinum in a polymer membrane fuel cell–the top choice for generators and electric cars–splits hydrogen into ions and electrons at the anode, and helps these combine with oxygen at the cathode to form water. But platinum is in limited supply, costing $1,200 per ounce on average over the past three years. And the price is "likely to skyrocket if platinum became heavily used in fuel cells," adds Douglas MacFarlane, a chemistry professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, who is also developing alternative fuel-cell catalysts.
Today's fuel cells use 0.5 grams of platinum for each kilowatt of power they generate, Gasteiger says, but the long-term goal is to use less than 0.2 grams of platinum for each kilowatt.

Uncompromised AFM on an Inverted Optical Platform
AFM Is More Than Just Pretty Images
The Best Force Measurements - from the Commercial Pioneer of Force Spectroscopy
No Hole in Our Head
Leadership in Force Spectroscopy and Force Mechanics
Light Up Your AFM
Seamless Optical and AFM Integration
Versatility from Above: View, Illuminate, Navigate
Control Your Sample Environment
Additional Options
Choose the MFP-3D-BIO
Real-time Optical Navigation
Cantilever Auto-Tune in Liquid
Real3DTM Imaging - View Your Data in Three Dimensions in Real Time as You Scan
The MFP-3D-BIO provides the highest sensitivity and most accurate images and measurements possible on an inverted optical platform. The NPSTM closed loop nanopositioning sensors on all three axes ensure distortion-free images on samples as small as proteins and as large as cells - in both air and liquid. The MFP-3D measures the cantilever deflection to better than 20pm (8pm typical) without artifacts, making the MFP-3D ideal for force measurements such as unfolding single molecules or probing cell mechanics.
From single molecule contour lengths to mammalian cell volumes, your published results are only as good as the data you acquire. The MFP-3D provides a truly quantitative three-dimensional map of your sample - a necessity for accurate measurements you can trust. Asylum's superior sensor and flexure stage technology coupled with our intuitive control software also gives you the ability to zoom and offset with a single mouse click - even from a previously captured image. Independent lateral (X-Y) and vertical (Z) positioning stages eliminate the crosstalk errors common to systems using tip-scanners. And the large Z range (up to 40µm) enables imaging of tall samples and cells, force curves on highly adhesive soft materials like gels, and other challenging applications. All standard AFM scanning modes are supported, including contact mode with lateral force, AC mode with phase, and advanced modes such as Dual ACTM, nanomanipulation, nanoindentation and more.
2.5µm scan of supported lipid bilayers (5nm tall) adsorbed onto mica and imaged in phosphate buffered saline.
Asylum Research pioneered commercialization of picoNewton-scale force spectroscopy with its first product, the Molecular Force Probe (MFP). Asylum continues that leadership to this day with the MFP-3D.
Some competitors literally have a hole through their AFM head. While permitting the use of some commercially-available optical condensers, the hole compromises the integrity of the AFM optical lever design and the stability of the AFM stage. This adds noise to their scans, degrades imaging resolution, and hinders quantitative force and friction measurements.
In contrast, the MFP-3D measures picoNewton forces and resolves the smallest features of your samples. The flexure-mounted optical lever mechanism moves as a single robust unit, virtually eliminating non-linearities, off-axis motion and interference fringes. Our custom-designed condenser column provides unobstructed top-down sample viewing and enables standard optical microscopy modes, including phase contrast.
The unfolding of fibril amyloid beta-sheets in algal adhesive reveals a distinct sawtooth pattern. The force curve was fitted to the worm-like chain (WLC) model (dotted lines) and a persistence length of 0.22nm was calculated. Data from Mostaert et al. (2006), J. Biol. Phys. 32(5):393.
Force map on fixed MRC-5 fibroblasts, 30µm. Deflection image (top image) shows location of selected force curves (middle graph). Automated force curve analysis generates an elasticity map (bottom image) which displays the measured modulus by color at each of the 1600 force curve points taken on the cells and substrate. The lamellipodia at the top center of the force map appear much softer than expected due to the presence of a second cell underneath.
The MFP-3D-BIO sets the industry standard for combining optical and atomic force microscopies in a single integrated tool specifically designed for biologists. Our team of biologists and optical engineers have optimized the MFP-3D for use with the leading inverted optical microscopes to ensure that you get the maximum benefit and productivity from the combination of these powerful techniques. High numerical aperture, water immersion, and TIRF objectives are all accommodated. No other AFM can match the MFP-3D's performance for optical integration, high resolution imaging, quantitative force measurements, and environmental controls. All of the following optical microscopy techniques are supported:
Multiply-labeled fibroblasts imaged in buffer using contact mode AFM (a), and fluorescence microscopy (b). The MFP-3D's standard overlay feature produced the composite image (c). Our proprietary IR filter blocks the AFM laser, enabling clean, full-spectrum fluorescence imaging - including far-red fluorophores.
MFP-3D's Exclusive X-Y Scanned-Sample Design is Essential and Enabling For:
Locate a cell with Zernike phase contrast (gray) or fluorescence, examine features such as cytoskeletal structures (red) or the nucleus (blue), then zoom in for high-resolution topography or force measurements with AFM (copper). Overlay optical data on AFM topography for 3D analysis and presentation (below).
The MFP-3D extends the capability of the inverted optical microscope by allowing you to view transparent and opaque samples from above while scanning with the AFM. The integrated top-view optics enable in situ laser alignment and tip positioning - without removing the AFM head and without ancillary equipment. Our unique design also allows the top-view objective lens to double as a high-quality condenser for phase contrast illumination. Top- or bottom-view optical images can be used to navigate the tip to any feature on the sample, scan that area at the nanoscale with the AFM, and then select specific locations for force curves - easily and seamlessly. Optical images can be overlayed on AFM data, and captured for documentation and publication.
The optical path through the head of the MFP-3D-BIO utilizes a high-quality objective which can be used to view the top of opaque samples and to align the laser onto the tip. The objective can also be used as a condenser for brightfield or phase contrast illumination on transparent samples by using a series of lenses and mirrors to illuminate the sample. Using these optical elements, high quality illumination is achieved for observation with the inverted optical microscope objective while not undermining the fidelity of the optical lever or Z-flexure design of the AFM.
Asylum has made our full capability system easy to learn and use for novices while providing advanced functionality for the most experienced users. Don't compromise your research by choosing an "easy to use" system with limited capabilities. Choose the MFP-3D-BIO for both full capability and ease of use.
Start with the basics. Press one button in ModeMasterTM (top) and the AFM is configured for you, showing a simplified view with only the preset parameters you need for your experiment.
Take control of your AFM. Control the instrument precisely for more advanced experiments, specifying exactly what you want to do in our full-featured interface. Don't be held back by inflexible software.
Automate your work. For your most demanding experiments, access the full programmability of the MFP-3D AFM easily from our visual MacroBuilder panel. Spread your wings - no computer coding required!
Guide the tip to any location for AFM imaging, force mapping or individual force curves using any real-time optical input - brightfield, phase contrast, fluorescence, etc. This capability is of particular importance when working with functionalized tips or soft samples that preclude AFM scanning prior to force spectroscopy experiments.
40X phase contrast image of MRC-5 fibroblasts on a Petri dish. With a single click you can direct the tip (red dot) to any point, or select a new scan area (green box) within the scan range (red box).
Tuning the cantilever for AC mode takes only a single mouse click with Asylum's exclusive iDrive electromagnetic actuation.
The MFP-3D's exclusive real-time 3D display allows you to view a realistic representation of your sample while the image is still being acquired. You can overlay the AFM phase or other data channels, rotate the image to any point of view, and adjust the scaling and lighting - all during the scan. This powerful capability is only available on Asylum Research AFMs.

Thousands of children removed from homes
Every child needs someone on their side. To children set adrift in the foster care system, CASA volunteer advocates are more than a compass — they're a lifeline.
Each year, Social Services Agencies throughout California receive calls alleging abuse or neglect for over 450,000 children — enough to fill every major league baseball park in California — twice over.
The investigations that follow result in the removal and out-of-home placement of tens of thousands of children; at any one time 70,000 of California's children find themselves living in foster care — that's enough to fill Disneyland to capacity.
CASA volunteers advocate for a brighter future
That's where CASA comes in. California hosts a network of 41 CASA programs that recruit, train, and support volunteer advocates who work to make each child count. Our volunteers step up and speak out to ensure that their child does not fall through the cracks.
Since 1987, CalCASA has been working to better the lives of thousands of California's children by strengthening, sustaining, and growing California's CASA network. We provide wide-ranging assistance to local CASA programs and advocate for progressive, child-centered policies state-wide. Simply put, we make CASA work.
Each child deserves the promise of a bright and stable future. CalCASA is dedicated to keeping that promise.
CalCASA impacts local CASA programs.
Across California, local CASAs rely on CalCASA for help starting and growing their programs. In addition to the technical assistance we provide staff and volunteers, CalCASA's work in promoting child welfare legislation creates positive change on a state-wide level.
CalCASA enables the CASA network in California to:
Whether you get involved at a state or local level, anyone can make a powerful difference in a child's life.
Ways to Stand Up for a child today:
Become a CASA volunteer. Find your local program
