LAS CRUCES >> A public session Tuesday about the future of the built-but-not-opened Doña Ana County Crisis Triage Center for mentally ill residents stirred up some surprises.
County staff launched the discussion by proposing a new option for the building: using it for an entirely different purpose altogether, such as a child crisis center, a training center for the adjacent county jail or a state mental health hospital.
The proposal to use the building for a purpose other than a Crisis Triage Center came about because of a previous county commission meeting, in which some commissioners had talked about narrowly defining the role of the center, said Jamie Michael with the county's health and human services department. More specifically, commissioners had talked about specifying that the center would only carry out psychiatric evaluations for mentally ill residents who are in the protective custody of law enforcement, while not providing a broader range of services to the residents, she said.
At issue is that an operating model that only provides psychiatric evaluations for mentally ill residents in the custody of authorities wouldn't be efficient, Michael said.
"It would be quite costly to operate an entire building for only that one function," she said in an interview.
Rather, Michael said, the county would be better-served by paying an existing mental health-care provider to carry out that service.
"It would be more efficient to work with people who are already doing it," she said.
Several mental health advocates, professionals and a state district court judge spoke in favor of the county's effort to create the Crisis Triage Center, saying needs remain strong among the vulnerable population it would serve. But several people seemed to have varying opinions about the precise role of the center and how it would fit into an already complex patchwork of mental health care services across the county.
Third Judicial District Chief Judge Fernando Macias said while the county may have received information that the need for a center is declining, the courts are still seeing many residents who need help. He urged the commission "not to lose patience."
"Let me suggest to you the judges are very frustrated with the options that are available in terms of dealing with individuals who continue to cycle into the criminal justice system," he told county commissioners. "The criminal justice area is constantly dealing with individuals who continue to come back to the system because we're unable to address their mental health needs, in spite of all the good efforts that have occurred in the community."
In spite of the proposal to change its use, several county commissioners expressed support to keep intact the original intent for the Crisis Triage Center building.
Part of that includes carrying psychiatric evaluations of patients who are in protective custody because they've been deemed an immediate threat to themselves or other people, Michael said. But it also includes taking on a broader role that would entail case management to help keep residents with psychiatric problems from falling through the cracks in the system.
"They'd create a pathway for a person being in crisis to finding a mental health home or whatever services they need to maintain health," Michael said.
The Crisis Triage Center for years has been proposed as a place to divert mentally ill residents who are experiencing crisis episodes away from the Doña Ana County Detention Center and away from local hospital emergency rooms — the main options law enforcement now have for taking people who are in protective custody.
County commissioners spent much of the session asking staff and attendees questions about the Crisis Triage Center proposal and the mental health-care system locally.
County Commission Chairman Billy Garrett recapped the Crisis Triage Center's history, saying the county heard about the need for the project for years but never was able to get enough funding from the Legislature to build it. So the commission took the project under its wing, deciding to build it with county funding. But the further the county got into planning its operations, the details became "more and more confusing."
"I understand the need for a comprehensive system to work with the community and to help individuals and families that are in need of assistance because of behavioral health issues," he said. "What I'm trying to understand is the right role for the county and how that fits with all the other entities that are out there."
Many onlookers agreed that landscape is complex. Hospital ER rooms, the judicial system, out-patient psychiatric care, state services, private hospitals and other private providers all have roles in the system. And some said that leads to differing viewpoints about specifics for operating the Crisis Triage Center.
There are questions, for instance, about whether police officers should be on duty around the clock at the facility and whether it should disperse medication to people staying there.
The county is midway into a procurement process that has resulted in two top bidders vying to operate the facility. And Michael said those specific questions that are still up in the air will have to be answered during the negotiation phase with the possible operators.
Some attendees Tuesday also said they were concerned because the county had done an unusual bidding process, keeping a key procurement document secret during the process of looking for potential operators.
Garrett asked that it be released for the public to submit comments on it.

Toymakers Would Get Relief Under Republican Plan
Makers of toys, bicycles and all-terrain vehicles are among companies that may get regulatory relief under a plan by House Republicans to rein in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The legislation also would restrict who may post to a CPSC website that tracks complaints about consumer products ranging from cribs to kitchen appliances, according to a summary of the bill.
Four years after a lead scare involving Barbie accessories from Mattel Inc. and RC2 Corp.'s Thomas the Tank Engine trains, House Republicans are responding to business group complaints that a 2008 law to fix the problem went too far. Representative Mary Bono Mack, a California Republican, convened a House subcommittee hearing on the matter today.
"Legislation that bars the CPSC from making common-sense decisions about protecting the public has had the unintended effect of banning safe products while imposing needless, costly burdens on small businesses," said Rick Locker, a lawyer who represents the Toy Industry Association and the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association.
Toymakers would benefit if the CPSC were given more authority to grant exclusions from lead testing where it can establish there's limited risk of exposure, Locker said. Small-scale hand crafters would benefit from such reduced requirements, he said.
ATVs, Bikes and Books
An array of manufacturers would get a break by redefining what constitutes a children's product, and therefore subject to extra regulatory scrutiny by the CPSC. The current cut-off is ages 12 and younger. According to the proposal, that limit would be replaced "with a lower age to be determined."
The broader children's product definition ended up subjecting a broad range of products generally considered low-risk to expensive tests aimed at protecting young children, including ATVs, bikes, books, musical instruments and clothes for older children, Mack said.
"By pushing the age to 12, we ended up regulating a huge number of products that are never going to be mouthed or even handled by young children," Mack said.
The motorcycle industry has said, and the CPSC has conceded, that the lead limits applied to youth-sized ATVs has led to children riding adult-sized ATVs.
Motorcycle makers including Honda Motor Co. and Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd. would begin to get relief from one unintended consequence of the 2008 law -- the virtual end of sales of youth-sized ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles, said Paul Vitrano, general counsel of the Motorcycle Industry Council.
Public Awareness
The law "crippled key parts of our industry, costing manufacturing and dealership jobs across the country," Vitrano said.
The CPSC's website tracking consumer complaints was specifically authorized by the 2008 law. Lawmakers at the time wanted to make the public aware of potential safety issues more quickly.
The site's implementation has been criticized by business groups including the Washington-based National Association of Manufacturers.
"The database should not be a platform for the submissions of manufacturers, trade associations, trial lawyers or consumer groups who are trying to make policy or regulatory points," said Charles Samuels, general counsel of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers.
Verify Claims
Republicans are proposing the agency only post items from people who are injured, members of their families or people authorized by them. The agency would have to do more to verify the claims.
The Republican plan goes beyond offering relief to a few industries caught up in regulatory overreach, said Representative Henry Waxman of California, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Energy and Commerce Committee.
"I know it is possible to address these concerns without gutting the law," Waxman said.
Consumer and medical experts told lawmakers in prepared remarks that there were good reasons to keep the 2008 law's main provisions in place. The House bill is "a broad attack" that "narrows the scope of products covered," said Rachel Weintraub, director of product safety at the Consumer Federation of America.
"This moves back the clock on safety and puts children at risk," Weintraub said.

Summary: If you ever have a need to restrict access to your Windows Azure deployment to known IP address ranges, you can do this by programmatically modifying the Windows Firewall. You'll need to do this both at startup, and whenever your role topology changes, as the Windows Azure guest agent also likes to modify firewall rules.
When you deploy your PaaS cloud service to Windows Azure, it's on the internet. This means it can be accessed by anyone who is also on the internet, subject to your application's authorisation logic. Normally this is a good thing—we build and deploy apps so people can use them. However sometimes you may want to restrict access to certain known client machines. Some of the reasons I've seen for this include:
If you're only interested in blocking traffic to IIS-hosted services, one option is to use IIS's "IP and Domain Restrictions" feature to restrict access as described in Liam Cavanagh's Blog. This is a good option as the IP restrictions are configuration-based, and Windows Azure won't do anything that interferes with your settings. However as Liam points out, this capability depends on a Windows feature that isn't installed by default, so you'll need to write a startup script to install the "IP and Domain Restrictions" feature.
However this solution will not work if you want to restrict access to something that's not IIS hosted, such as RDP. In this case you need to step it up a level by modifying the Windows Firewall which runs locally on each Windows Azure VM. Normally it's pretty easy to configure Windows Firewall to only allow access to a given port to specific IP ranges: you set up a single rule for that port and set the scope to your IP ranges; any traffic from other IP addresses will be automatically blocked as there is no matching firewall rule. Unfortunately this is a bit more complex in Windows Azure, as the fabric will automatically configure a whole bunch of firewall rules (helpfully named after random GUIDs) that open certain ports to all IP addresses. You can still add additional rules if you want, but due to the way that firewall rules combine, you can't easily block access once another rule has already granted it.
The most practical option I found was to modify the existing firewall rules to add the IP range restrictions. There are a few different APIs to do this, but the easiest way is to use the Network Security PowerShell cmdlets. These run on Windows Server 2012, so make sure you set your Windows Azure osFamily attribute to "3". Here's a simple PowerShell script that modifies all existing rules for two ports (80 and 3389) to restrict them to specific IP addresses and ranges:
# SetFirewallRestrictions.ps1
$date = Get-Date
Write-Host "Updating firewall rule restrictions at " $date "`r`n"
$allowedRanges = ('184.108.40.206/24', '22.214.171.124')
Get-NetFirewallPortFilter | ? LocalPort -eq '80' | Get-NetFirewallRule | Set-NetFirewallRule -RemoteAddress $allowedRanges
Get-NetFirewallPortFilter | ? LocalPort -eq '3389' | Get-NetFirewallRule | Set-NetFirewallRule -RemoteAddress $allowedRanges
To make it easier to call the script and log the output, let's also create a .cmd file to wrap it:
rem SetFirewallRestrictions.cmd
cd /d %~dp0
Powershell set-executionpolicy remotesigned -force
Powershell .\SetFirewallRestrictions.ps1 >> SetFirewallRestrictions.out.log 2>> SetFirewallRestrictions.err.log
So now we have our scripts, it's just a matter of including them into our Windows Azure cloud service role and calling them at the appropriate time. The obvious place to do this is at role startup, so let's add a startup task to the ServiceDefinition.csdef file. Remember to run it as elevated since we're playing with security settings. Also note the <Runtime> element which I'll get to in a moment.
<ServiceDefinition name="FirewallTest" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2013-03.2.0">
<WebRole name="WebRole1" vmsize="Small">
<Task commandLine="Startup\SetFirewallRestrictions.cmd" executionContext="elevated" taskType="simple" />
<Runtime executionContext="elevated" />
With the startup script in place, Windows Azure will automatically update the firewall settings with your IP range restrictions just as the instance starts. So we're done, right? Actually not quite. After some testing, we found that our custom firewall rules were occasionally overwritten after the instance has been running for a while. After further investigation we discovered that the Windows Azure Guest Agent (an app which the fabric installs on your VM to carry out various cloudy tasks) recreates the firewall rules whenever the role is scaled – yes, even on the instances that were already running. So in order to keep our IP address restrictions, we need to reapply our firewall script when the role's topology changes. Important: This solution is based on experimentation, not insider knowledge of exactly how this part of the platform works. It's possible that there are other times when the firewall rules are overwritten. Use this solution at your own risk and test thoroughly.
In order to reapply the firewall rules when the app is scaled, it's necessary to subscribe to the RoleEnvironment.Changed event in your RoleEntryPoint-derived class. In the event handler we can launch the same script again. The <Runtime executionContext="elevated" /> entry we put in above ensures that this code runs as admin.
public class WebRole : RoleEntryPoint
public override bool OnStart()
RoleEnvironment.Changed += RoleEnvironment_Changed;
return base.OnStart();
void RoleEnvironment_Changed(object sender, RoleEnvironmentChangedEventArgs e)
if (e.Changes.Any(ch => ch is RoleEnvironmentTopologyChange))
var processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"Startup\SetFirewallRestrictions.cmd");
var process = Process.Start(processStartInfo);
So far it looks like this is a solid option for restricting access to your Windows Azure applications to specific IP addresses. If you find any issues or have any suggestions please let me know, and I'll promise to do the same!
I assume the RoleEnvironment.Changed event will be asynchronous, so there will be a time when the restriction does not apply. Wonder what the latency on that would be and the exposure risk.

1. Pre-publication Sale of "LIVING AS THE
BELOVED: One Day at a Time"
Chi Rho Press is pleased to announce the imminent
publication of a new book of daily devotions, "Living
as the Beloved: One Day at a Time," by the Rev. Dr.
Sandra L. Bochonok. We expect to go to press by the
end of December and this pre-publication sale is on
through the release of the book in the end of January,
The list price for the book will be $20.95, but until
the book rolls off the presses in January, the special
pre-publication sale cost is only $16.95 (plus shipping
and handling), a savings of $4.00! Six or more copies
are $14.95 each plus shipping and handing, an even
greater savings. You can find this great opportunity
on our Web site at
If you are buying this as a holiday gift we can send you
specially printed gift cards with a full color photo of
the cover!
Dr. Bochonok is the founder of the very popular Soul
Food Ministry Web site (www.soulfoodministry.org), a
special work of Metropolitan Community Church of
Washington, DC.
"Living As The Beloved" has a Scripture reading,
meditation, and prayer for every day of the year.
Dr. Bochonok's meditations are poignant, wise, and
amazingly pastoral. Her many years of ministry as
a military chaplain and pastor, and now as an Internet
pastor shine through her every word. Her meditations
are simple, basic Christian teaching, yet glow with
power, grace, and beauty. These are devotions that
will light your days for many years to come.
Dr. Bochonok's beloved grandmother is the inspiration
for many of the daily devotions found in "Living as
the Beloved." Her familiar saying, "One day at a time,
dear Lord, one day at a time" is reflected from time
to time throughout the book.
Read this small section from Dr. Bochonok's Foreword,
"My beloved grandmother blessed me with a rich
spiritual legacy that I wish to pass on to the
next generation. Her faith was deep and simple.
She prayed every day of her adult life and would
often croon, 'One day at a time, dear Lord, one
day at a time.' 'One day at a time' became her
mantra for living when life was difficult. She
loved reading the Bible and she loved her church.
I wish to honor her blessed memory and faithful
life with the title of this book.
"Several years after her death, my life and
ministry was transformed when I first read the
late Henri J. M. Nouwen's devotional book, 'Life
of the Beloved: Spiritual Living in a Secular
World.' Belovedness was something I desperately
needed. . . . I read Nouwen's book numerous times
and eventually co-facilitated the first Beloved
Retreat specifically for gay, lesbian, bisexual,
and transgendered people. . . . I became determined
to spend the remainder of my life helping people
reclaim their belovedness, especially among those
the traditional mainstream churches often rejected
because of their sexual orientation."
We are sure you will agree that Dr. Bochonok has
fulfilled her goal of "helping people reclaim
their belovedness" with this wonderful new book.
Order your special pre-publication sale copy of
"Living as the Beloved: One Day at a Time" today.
Only $16.95, plus shipping and handling, six or
more copies are $14.95 each plus shipping and
2. A Book of Lenten Meditations: "For Another Flock"
Chi Rho Press continues to have copies of last years book
Of Lenten Meditations, "For Another Flock: Rainbow
Meditations and Study Guide for Lent," by Jeffrey Lea.
($10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies, plus
shipping and handling.) View it on our Web site at
Written out of the deep faith and learning of a gay
practicing Roman Catholic and from a Catholic
perspective, "For Another Flock" includes daily
meditations for all the days of Lent and Holy Week,
beginning with Ash Wednesday (which this year is Feb.
25), and ending with Easter Sunday (April 10, 2004).
Scripture readings are provided for every day in Lent
and Holy Week followed by a reflection from a uniquely
gay and Catholic point of view and a prayer.
Following the daily meditations is a seven-week Lenten
Bible Study Guide. Jeff Lea's introduction explores Lent
as a penitential season, discussing penance and repentance.
Each weekly Bible Study starts with a Gospel reading.
There is a Lenten theme for each of the seven sessions.
Week One is "An Ash Wednesday Ritual and Discussion of
the Nature of Penance." Week Two is "The Nature of
Temptation." Week Three is "The Meaning of Sin in our
Lives." Week Four is "Faithfulness and Homosexuality."
Week Five is "The Joy of Being Gay." Week Six is "The
Meaning of Judgement." And the concluding session is
"The Last Supper and the Mandatum" (New Commandment).
Seven Appendices conclude the book: Solemnities and
Feasts in Lent, Lectionary Cycle Calendar, The Books
of the Old Testament of the Various Biblical Traditions,
Small Group Study Guidelines, an Ash Wednesday Liturgy,
a Maundy Thursday Liturgy, and a Bibliography.
Jeff Lea writes, "Far too many gay women and men continue
to view the primary Christian scripture, the Holy Bible,
as a document hostile to people whose expression of
intimate love is homosexual. Nothing can be further
from the truth. While the Bible does condemn the
ritualistic abuse of human sexuality it does not ever
express a view of same-sex love as an abomination. In
fact it affirms it in the love story of Jonathan and
"The Bible's primary message is Love. To love God,
ourselves, and each other as God has loved us. The
Bible is not a handbook on how to hate sin. It is a
transcript of the ongoing love story between God and
the people of God.
"Lent is the primary renewing and penitential season
of the Church year. It is the time of personal
examination and purification before we enter into the
Paschal mystery on Easter Sunday. We are at the door
to salvation during this time. Gay people are also at
that door and we too have an experience of conversion
and faith. These meditations present the point of view
of a gay male Christian exploring the liminal experience
of coming out gay, coming out Christian, and discovering
affirmation in the Bible. The book provides both a
daily meditation on the scriptural readings for Lent,
and a seven-week group study that explores penance from
a positive gay perspective."
"For Another Flock: Rainbow Meditations and Study Guide
for Lent" is spiral bound, 5 ½" x 8 ½", 104 pages, and
sells for $10.95 each, $8.95 each for six or more copies,
plus shipping and handling.

4. December Sales Report
Many thanks to all our loyal customers, who have made
the last month of 2003 the biggest grossing month in
terms of credit card sales in Chi Rho Press' history!
Many of the sales, of course, were for the pre-
publication sale of our next big book, "Living as the
Beloved: One Day at a Time," by the Rev. Dr. Sandra
Bochonok, but advance sales of "Living" were only 55%
of the sales for the month!
October and November sales were excellent as well, and
we are very pleased with the support of our friends and
customers. We are delighted that you are finding the
ministry of Chi Rho Press to be useful in your life and
ministry. Thank you for making this a good year for
YOUR LGBT Christian publishing house.
We look forward to serving you in more and better ways
in 2004, with more resources and books for your use.
5. Sanctoral Cycle
As a regular feature in the Chi Rho Connection, we
are offering up traditional and modern saints and
various holy days and holidays listed in the 2004
Liturgical Calendar and Lectionary from today until
our next scheduled electronic newsletter.
Thu. Jan. 1, Holy Name of Jesus. Perhaps as a
counterbalance to the ancient pagan festivities
around the New Year, the Church came to associate
Jan. 1st with the naming of Jesus at his circumcision
(Lk 2:21). Angels appeared to both Joseph (Mt 1:18-25)
and Mary (Lk 1:26-38) telling them to name him Jesus,
which was a common Jewish name meaning "God saves."
Thu. Jan. 1, New Year's Day. In Catholic tradition
this day celebrates Mary, Mother of God. It is also
the Shinto New Year.
Sat. Jan. 3, Takashi Nagai (1908-1951). Mystic of
Nagasaki. Nagai witnessed the atomic blast over his
city. His wife's charred remains were found in the
Catholic cathedral, rosary clasped in her hands. As
a physician he worked tirelessly for the survivors.
When the radiation left him an invalid he became a
contemplative, devoting himself to a life of prayer.
He believed Nagasaki was chosen as a sacrifice to atone
for the sins of the war and to become a symbol for
world peace.
Mon. Jan. 5, Lanza del Vasto (1901-1981). Founder of
the Community of the Ark and Catholic follower of Gandhi.
He was raised in a wealthy Italian family. In his search
for meaning in life he traveled to India and studied with
Gandhi. Upon returning to the West he was determined to
bring a message of peace and nonviolence that was rooted
in his Catholic faith.
Mon. Jan. 5, Guru Gobindh Singh birthday (Sikh). Sikh
festival honoring the birth of the founder of the Khalsa
who lived from 1469-1539 ce.
Tue. Jan. 6, the Epiphany of Jesus. The day traditionally
associated with the arrival of the Magi to visit the baby
Jesus. In many traditions Epiphany is more important than
Christmas, and is the day to give gifts. A principal
theme is the breaking forth of light to all the world,
especially to the Gentiles.
Wed. Jan. 7, New Year (Buddhist).
Wed. Jan. 7, Felix and Mary Barreda (d. 1983). Lay
apostles and martyrs in Nicaragua. While helping with
the coffee harvest, an act they knew to entail great
risk, they were abducted by the Contras and subjected
to repeated torture, rape, and finally execution. Their
interrogators tried to get them to say they were
communists, but they insisted they were only Christians
living out their faith. They had been active in the
Cursillo renewal movement and led a "base community"
group in their home. Their commitment to justice and
working with the poor grew out of their faith and
reading Scripture. The people proclaimed them martyrs
who laid down their lives for the Gospel.
Mon. Jan 12, Coming of Age Day (Japan).
Tue. Jan. 13, George Fox (1624-1691). Renewer of
society and founder of the Society of Friends. Fox
proclaimed a simple message to the people of England,
and suffered imprisonment and persecution for it. He
taught that Christians should live simply, not swear
any oaths, not make distinctions of social class, and
to oppose war and violence. He opposed ordination of
clergy or the use of formal forms of worship. The
measure of a person's faith was not in theology or
even the Bible, but in their own personal spiritual
experience. His followers became known as Quakers,
a group which represented the left wing of Puritanism.
Wed. Jan. 14, Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984). Confessing
pastor. A former U-boat commander, this Lutheran pastor
opposed the rise of Nazi power and its attempt to co-opt
the German Church for its own racist propaganda. The
Confessing Church movement was suppressed by the Nazis,
and Niemoeller was sent to Dachau until the end of the
war. He became an active pacifist and opponent of
Fri. Jan. 16, Religious Freedom Day (USA).
Established in 2002 by President George W. Bush.

Dallas police say a man has been slain and two women wounded by a gunman who fled after the shootings near a lake.
Police on Monday searched for the suspect and tried to determine what sparked the attack.
Investigators say the shootings happened Sunday night in a parking lot along Bachman Lake.
Authorities say some men and women were talking when another man drove up, apparently began upset and opened fire before fleeing.
Police did not immediately release the name of the man who was killed. Authorities say the women suffered gunshot wounds that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Enhanced technology crucial
I appreciate the numerous articles in the Plymouth Observer the past two weeks supporting technological improvements in the Plymouth-Canton school district.
Our school district must keep improving technological capabilities and programs to insure students have an academic advantage as they pursue either a career path or higher education. Taking a quote from school board President John Barrett, "This is the way of the future; it's the nature of the global world. We have to give kids what they need to meet the demands of the job market. We need to make sure our students have the critical skills that are now demanded by colleges and employers."
Universities and employers/businesses are continually advancing their technological capabilities, and expect their future students or employees to have the appropriate technical skill level. Careers in fields like drafting and printing have changed dramatically, and the old methods are really lost arts due to technological advances.
For prior generations, an online degree or telecommuting was just a figment of the imagination. However, through technological advances these are now new norms of our times. Today, you can conduct business or get a degree from the comfort of your home vs. an office or classroom. Preparing for college is no longer sitting at the kitchen table and filling out applications; all documents are completed online through various technological applications.
The classroom has evolved from blackboards and textbooks, to interactive whiteboards and various forms of technical interface to global resources. The card catalog has been replaced by Google, periodicals and newspapers are online, and instead of day-dreaming about far off places students now have these places at their fingertips.
From another article on March 14, "Digital learning in Plymouth-Canton Schools: Innovation guides teaching, learning," a class lesson at Central Middle School culminated in students creating video "trailers" for their subject following online research. According to their teacher Rick Coughlin, "Rather than a written report, the students actually created a presentation that they could post online and share with the world."
I'm not saying all 6,200 students at the "Park" should have an Apple iPad (sorry, classmates). Rather, that the district investigate and provide the highest level of learning and technological applications for all students and academic areas to make learning exciting and competitive with our ever-changing world.
The need to continually enhance the forms and levels of technology for Plymouth-Canton students to live and survive in an evolving a digital world is crucial.

Truth detector needed
Building on Joanne Sonnenberg's "Search for truth" letter (March 14) on Lori Levi's "Lack of response" (March 7), the Millennials in their early 20s-30s may not have been given the educational tools or examples needed to search for and recognize real truth.
Many Millennials and others have now established beliefs that they can each have their own relative "truth." Members of the current "Greatest Generation" regularly attend religious events and do voluntary (not government) community service driven by their beliefs. Research shows this level is much higher than for Millennials and other age groups. Our "Greatest Generation" had their values forever forged in the furnaces of World War II and Korea.
It is extremely important to provide our very young teens and high school students with both the skills and opportunities to seek the truth for civic and ethical/moral reasons. The Plymouth-Canton Schools teach required history, social studies, civics and health classes. The actual content of classes needs to be closely monitored so schools not only prepare our youth to pass "yearly progress" fact tests, but also to think critically and logically with a sound ethical/moral basis.
This basis was critical to the original "Greatest Generation" (the Founders) of the United States and needs to be taught as history and understood by all students today, regardless of their own relative "truth" or that of their teachers.
There is no such thing as "my truth" or "your truth." There exists only the real objective truth. We need to make the best use of the time we have to both record and study the experiences of the "Greatest Generation" and to have real face-to-face discussions with these treasures: our parents, grandparents, uncles/aunts and those lonely people in our own neighborhoods and nursing homes. They may not text, Twitter, or Tweet but they are closer to truth.

Support school bond
May 7 is an important date for all residents of Plymouth-Canton Community Schools. On that day, citizens from throughout the district will be voting on a $114 million bond proposal that is essential to the continued excellence of our schools and our communities.
The best feature of this bond is that it will provide necessary improvements and upgrades for our children while leaving school tax rates unchanged. We urge all of our neighbors to become informed about this important measure:
It is crucial concerned community members realize that without the bond, most of these enhancements will have to be addressed regardless in order to keep PCCS competitive with surrounding districts. Far from being a wish list, the items in the bond are imminent needs. Without the bond, the only other option to meet these vital needs is to reduce resources flowing to classrooms.
All funds from the bond will work locally, maintaining PCCS as a top-ranked, destination district, one that will increase property values by continuing to attract quality teachers, administrators and residents to the Plymouth-Canton community. Our district has traditionally run very lean, using proceeds from bonds to fund major capital investments. Because of the care they have shown over many years with our tax dollars we now have this exceptional opportunity.
We urge all citizens of the district to become informed voters. If you have questions about the bond, PCCS has provided detailed information at http://www.pccs.k12.mi.us/2013bond
Anyone interested in helping to pass the bond and ensuring a brighter tomorrow for PCCS and our communities can e-mail email@example.com. You can also join us on Facebook.

Cell Therapeutics' Upcoming FDA Worries
TheStreet) -- Can Cell Therapeutics (CTIC - Get Report) and its lymphoma drug pixantrone withstand the withering scrutiny of U.S. drug regulators? The answer comes Feb. 10, when Cell Therapeutics travels to suburban Washington D.C. to make its case for pixantrone's approval to a panel of cancer experts convened by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.The FDA's advisory panel will be reviewing data from a phase III study of pixantrone in patients with advanced, aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The "EXTEND" study was conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment from the FDA, and the results, as presented by Cell Therapeutics to date, appear to be positive. Of course, clinical data from "positive" phase III trials always looks great when pitched by the company developing the drug. The truth about a drug's efficacy is often something different and far less robust, especially after FDA reviewers finish picking apart the data line by line. If the pixantrone data closet does have skeletons -- and let's face it, no drug skates through an FDA review unscathed -- here's where they might be found: 1. Missing patients? Cell Therapeutics designed the pixantrone EXTEND study in 2003 - 2004 with the intention of enrolling 320 patients. In March 2008, however, Cell Therapeutics announced that it halted enrollment at 140 patients. Will FDA accept the results from this study, given that only 40% of the planned patients actually enrolled? How does the drastically smaller number of patients effect the statistical powering of the study? And given the fact that the study is open label -- meaning doctors and patients know who's getting pixantrone and who's getting a comparator drug -- what amended rules were put in place to say that 140 patients were sufficient to prove pixantrone's efficacy?SEATTLE (

New Advances Could Bring Relief for Chronic Itch »
"Chronic itch, which occurs in many medical conditions and in response to certain drugs, affects millions of Americans, yet its causes are poorly understood. Now, investigators funded in part by the NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Muscul"...
Read the New Advances Could Bring Relief for Chronic Itch article »
(betamethasone valerate) Foam, 0.12%
Your doctor has prescribed Luxiq (betamethasone valerate) Foam, 0.12%, for the relief of corticosteroid-responsive skin conditions of the scalp. Luxiq works because its active ingredient is betamethasone valerate, 0.12%. Betamethasone belongs to a group of medicines known as topical corticosteroids. These agents are used to reduce the inflammation, redness, swelling, itching, and tenderness associated with dermatologic conditions.
Other ingredients in Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) include cetyl alcohol, citric acid, ethanol, polysorbate 60, potassium citrate, propylene glycol, purified water, and stearyl alcohol. The foam is dispensed from an aluminum can that is pressurized by a hydrocarbon propellant (propane and butane).
If you answer YES to one or more of the following questions, tell your doctor (or pharmacist) before using this medicine, so you can get advice about what to do.
- Are you allergic to any of the ingredients contained in Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) ?
- Are you pregnant? Planning on becoming pregnant while using Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) ? Or are you breastfeeding?
- Do you think you have an infection on your scalp?
How to apply Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam)
Turn the can upside down and dispense a small amount of Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) onto a clean saucer or other cool, clean surface. Do not dispense directly onto hands, as foam will begin to melt immediately upon contact with warm skin. How to apply Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam)
Pick up small amounts of foam with fingers and gently massage into affected area until foam disappears. Repeat until entire affected scalp area is treated. Apply twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Use sparingly-only enough to cover the affected areas.
Gently massage the foam in until it is absorbed and allow the areas to dry naturally.
When applying to the scalp, move the hair away so that the foam can be applied directly to each affected area.
Wash your hands immediately after applying Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) , and discard any unused dispensed medication.
Do not wash or rinse the treated areas immediately after applying Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) .
- Do not use this medication for any condition other than the one for which it was prescribed.
- Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) is for external use only.
- Keep the foam away from your eyes, as it will sting. If the foam gets into your eyes, rinse well with cold water. If the stinging continues, contact your doctor immediately.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOWABOUT LUXIQ (betamethasone valerate foam) :
What to do if you miss an application If you forget to apply Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) at the scheduled time, use it as soon as you remember, and then go back to your regular schedule. If you remember at or about the time of your next daily application, apply that dose and continue with your normal application schedule. If you miss several doses, tell your doctor at your next appointment.
About side effects
As with all medications, there may be some side effects. The most frequent side effects associated with the use of Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) include mild burning, stinging, or itching at the site of application. These side effects typically disappear shortly after application. Let your doctor know if you notice any of the following:
- Any unusual effects that you do not understand.
- Affected areas that do not seem to be healing after several weeks of using the foam.
Important safety notes
- The treated areas should not be bandaged or covered unless directed by your doctor.
- Keep this and all medicines out of the reach of children.
- Store the can at controlled room temperature 68-77°F (20-25°C) and protect it from direct sunlight, as this is a pressurized container.
- Keep away from and do not spray near fire, open flame, or direct heat -this product is flammable. Do not smoke while using or holding the can. Keep the can away from all sources of ignition. Do not pierce or burn the can, and never throw the can in a fire, even if empty. When you have finished your treatment, dispose of the can safely. A completely empty can is recyclable.
- Do not use the foam after the expiration date shown on the bottom of the can.
- Do not give Luxiq (betamethasone valerate foam) to anyone else. Your doctor has prescribed this medicine for your use only.

Shading losses in solar photovoltaic potential at the municipal scale
| By Michigan Tech's Open Sustainability Technology Lab.
Wanted: Students to make a distributed future with solar-powered open-source 3-D printing.
[edit] Incorporating Shading Losses in Solar Photovoltaic Potential Assessment at the Municipal Scale

H. T. Nguyen and J. M. Pearce, "Incorporating Shading Losses in Solar Photovoltaic Potential Assessment at the Municipal Scale" Solar Energy 86(5), pp. 1245–1260 (2012). DOI Free and open access
[edit] Abstract
Recently several algorithms have been developed to calculate the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential on the basis of 2.5D raster data that can capture urban morphology. This study provides a new algorithm that (i) incorporates both terrain and near surface shadowing effects on the beam component; (ii) scales down the diffuse components of global irradiation; and (iii) utilizes free and open source GRASS and the module r.sun in modeling irradiation. This algorithm is semi-automatic and easy to upgrade or correct (no hand drawn areas), open source, detailed and provides rules of thumb for PV system design at the municipal level. The workflow is pilot tested on LiDAR data for 100 buildings in downtown Kingston, Ontario. Shading behavior was considered and suitable roof sections for solar PV installations selected using a multi-criteria objective. At sub-meter resolution and small time steps the effect of occlusion from near object was determined. Annual daily horizontal irradiation values were refined at 0.55m resolution and were shown to be lower than those obtained at 90 m by 30%. The robustness of r.sun as capable of working with different levels of surface complexity has been confirmed. Finally, the trade off of each computation option (spatial resolution, time step and shading effect) has been quantified at the meso scale, to assist planners in developing the appropriate computation protocols for their regions.

'The Killing' will be back in August on Netflix
Hallelujah, it's raining blood?
Yeah, probably not.
On Thursday (April 24), Netflix officially at a late-summer premiere date for the fourth and final season of "The Killing."
Also Read: NBC renews 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' for Season 16
The six-episode final "Killing" season will premiere on Netflix, in its totality, on August 1.
"The Killing" will cap a busy summer of originals on Netflix. As you already presumably know, the beloved prison dramedy "Orange Is the New Black" will return on June 6. Then on July 11, Netflix will drop the second season of the horror drama "Hemlock Grove."
Thus far, details on the fourth season are limited. Holder and Linden will be back and apparently they're investigating a murder at a all-boys military school. Oscar nominee Joan Allen is the most recognizable of the new co-stars, doing a multi-episode arc as the headmaster at the school.
Also Read: FOX cancels 'Enlisted,' 'Surviving Jack' & 'Dads'
You wouldn't guess that, of course, from the teaser Netflix released this morning. All you'd know is that it's going to be raining. Prince would suggest the rain might be purple. Kit Ramsey might suggest the rain is chubby. We suspect it's blood.
In case you've forgotten, "The Killing" premiered on AMC in 2011 and aired for two seasons. It was cancelled in July of 2012 and resurrected by AMC in January of 2013. After airing a third season last summer, AMC cancelled "The Killing" for a second time in September, only to have Netflix come through with the six-episode resurrection in November.
Good times!

MADRID — By the time you read this, you'll probably already know that Ke$ha had herself a pretty big night at the 2010 MTV Europe Music Awards, taking home the award for Best New Act and going under the blacklight for a performance of "Tik Tok."
But what you might not be aware of is how much the EMA win actually meant to her. After all, before she took home that wobbly EMA trophy, it had been a long, long time since she'd won anything.
"[This is] the first thing I've ever won!" she told MTV News moments after striding off the EMA stage. "Except for when I was in high school, and I won the award for 'Most likely to be a serial killer,'
which I have not fulfilled yet — just wait for my breakdown."
We will, for sure. And because she was so giddy about winning, Ke$ha didn't actually remember her acceptance speech, which included a threat to the critics and her shouting about peeing her pants (which actually marked the second time she's said something to that effect). But she stands by both statements — sort of.
"I did say that onstage, didn't I?" she asked, laughing. "[Winning] is amazing, because I was under the assumption that everybody hated me for a long time. And then I stopped going on the Internet, and since then, about six months ago, apparently people started liking me, and then I got this award."
She did, indeed. But Ke$ha's win was only half of her huge night:
After taking Best New Act, she tore through an eye-popping performance of "Tik Tok," which, in keeping with the theme of her EMA night, was also a highlight.
"That was fun as balls," she said, laughing. "And I got to jump on Spaniards, which was also a dream of mine, to jump on a multitude of Spaniards."
An edited, performance-heavy version of the 2010 EMA show will be broadcast Friday at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.

Like many proud grandfathers, Hector Colon couldn't snap enough photos of his first grandson, born three years ago.
His point-and-click camera worked just fine when his daughter Megan's son, Amani, was just a baby. But as soon as he began walking, it became woefully inadequate, he recalled.
"I'd have my camera ready, and, zoom, there he'd go, and I'd end up with a blur," he said. "I had to keep up."
Colon eventually invested $300 in a Canon Rebel T-3, which unleashed a creative side of him that was dormant most of his life, he said.
Bitten by the photography bug, Colon has taken a community-minded approach to develop his photographic skills by volunteering to take pictures at various city events, like the Community of Lebanon Association's car show and the city's National Night Out program at the Salvation Army.
Colon, 49, was born in New York City and lived in the hardscrabble area known as Little Italy until the age of 14, when his parents, seeking a safer place to raise their family, moved to Lebanon.
"I'll always remember the day we came here because it was a historic day – August 16, 1977, the day Elvis Presley died," he recalled
While he enjoyed waking up and hearing birds twittering instead of car horns blaring, the change was not easy, Colon said.
"It was a major attitude adjustment," he said. "There you always had to stand up for yourself. Here it wasn't really that way."
Colon attended Lebanon High School and took classes at the Vo-Tech, which prepared him for a career as a welder after graduating in 1982. It is a job he mastered and held for nearly 30 years until an eye injury forced him to find other work two years ago.
He currently works at Becks Aluminum Alloys in South Lebanon Township but is taking online courses to become a paralegal, he said.
Colon said he has always had an interest in community service, which is why he enjoys photographing city events. For many years in his mid-20s, he volunteered as an EMT for the Independent First Aid Unit ambulance company.
"I think I was the first Hispanic EMT in the city," he said.
A series of events caused him to stop volunteering for the ambulance service, one of which was the birth of his daughter, Megan.
It was then that his interest in photography was sparked, he said. The birth of his grandson reignited that interest, and his passion has continued to grow.
In addition to pictures of his family, Colon enjoys capturing wildlife and action photos at sporting events, like NASCAR and Hershey Bears games.
Joining the Hershey Camera Club, he said, has helped him develop his photographic skills in the past year . With guidance from the club's professional members, he is learning how to make the best use of his camera and photographic techniques, like how to use lighting to its best advantage.
"If I was going to pay that much for a camera, I wanted to learn to use it to its full capability," he said. "I really do recommend joining a camera club."
To put his learning to use, Colon said, he approached Lebanon Mayor Sherry Capello, old work colleague Diana Hartman, who is a CLA board member and others for permission to photograph their events.
Their response has been encouraging, and some of his work has shown up on their websites and newsletters. He also posts his work on his Facebook page.
It is gratifying to show off a town he grew to love, Colon said.
"There is more to this city than the negative things you read in the paper," he said. "There are a lot of family events to go to and have a good time. Some people don't go to them, so at least I can give them a chance to look at them. Then maybe they will go and see that it is not all negative."
As far as developing his hobby into a profession, Colon said, he is not interested.
"I just want to capture expressions — and share what I see with my eyes with others," he said. "I don't want to do this as a job, because I don't think that I would enjoy it as much."
In the meantime, Colon said, he is working on filling his Lebanon home with photos of his grandson to hang next to those of his daughter when she was a child. He is also looking for more opportunities to develop his talents by volunteering to take photos at events. If you are interested in arranging photos for your event , call Colon at 717-769-9985.

The Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival needs to raise $10,000 to $15,000 to continue, according to the event's producer. The festival, which featured an array of vendors and visitors in costume, including stilt-walker Sita Luna, drew an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 people on Sunday.

The nonprofit that produces one of the city's most unique downtown festivals needs to raise $10,000 to $15,000 to keep the event alive, the nonprofit's executive director said Wednesday.
Jennifer Gordon leads the nonprofit Arts2People and produced the annual Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival, which is meant to be a fundraiser for the organization. But this year's event didn't generate the income it needed to cover a new expense - paying the 68 bands that performed.
The bands have been paid, Gordon said. Most were guaranteed $150 this year, the first year the event paid musicians. It was ...
