Community Schools in Action: Addressing the Opportunity Gap - Practicum 2013
New York NY | Sep 16 2013
The CAS biannual Community Schools Practicum conference will be held from October 16 to18 at 475 Riverside Drive. This year's Practicum will present important new research that documents the growing "opportunity gap" between America's richest and poorest families and their children; will explore specific policies and practices that contribute to this gap; and will use the opportunity gap framework as a lens for developing and expanding equity-oriented solutions. Leaders from community school initiatives across the country are sending teams of educators, policymakers and community partners to learn, teach, share and network. Highlights of the agenda include a Keynote by Robert Putnam, a professor of political science at Harvard University, and a Plenary by Tony Smith, former Superintendent of Schools in Oakland, California, who initiated a strategic plan to make Oakland the first community school district in the country

I'm watching the 2012 Presidential Debate tonight because voting is a priority for me. Will you be watching?

We've got to do better and here's my video pledge to make that happen with my friend, Kyle Young, of Never Too Busy to Vote.
NeverTooBusyToVote is a completely non-partisan, non-profit, all volunteer grassroots movement to get More Women VOTING! We spread the word through our networks, blogs, sites, businesses, churches and schools to every woman we know. We WILL make a difference!

Rooster Roundabout: This week's music highlights
By Mark Lopez [ Fri Feb 28 2014 4:27 PM ]
Call me superficial. Call me impulsive. Call me weird. But the only reason I even watched the video for EMA's track "So Blonde" was because the default photo showed her wearing a Jim Morrison t-shirt. In case we haven't met, I have a tattoo of Morrison on my left arm. So yeah, let's just say I admire the "American poet." But I am glad I clicked the link because the track contains some alt.rock, grunge tendencies that remind me of later Hole (around the Celebrity Skin era). You can watch that below.
While I'm not a crazy fanatic of Wes Anderson's films, I've always appreciated his aesthetic, his color, his attention to detail and his creativity in general. But as well as having an incredible eye for visuals, he's got a sharp ear for sound. You can tell by listening to the The Royal Tenenbaums' tunes, which include Paul Simon, Nico, The Ramones, etc. And now, thanks to the folks over at Pitchfork, you can hear the full soundtrack of his upcoming film The Grand Budapest Hotel. But keep in mind that it'll only be available for streaming till March 2 … right in time for the Oscars. What what!
Bring on the abuse! The Faint are back. I remember being introduced to them by pre-hipster kids that my friends used to know in high school, and their tunes could always be heard blasting from speakers at house parties where 16-year-old girls with eating disorders passed out on couches, and people would sneakily retreat to bathrooms for bumps on the toilet. The Faint always seemed like an appropriate soundtrack, and their new track (off their upcoming record Doom Abuse) seems to have the same sentiment. I foresee it being played at similar festivities upon its release. You can watch the video below, and look for their album on April 8.
A couple weeks back, I posted rock band The Men's track "Different Days" and noted its boisterous beat and wild direction. And now you can hear their entire forthcoming album Tomorrow's Hits over at the New York Times website. Enjoy …
'Member when Coldplay used to be good? You know … around A Rush of Blood to the Head? 'Member how their lyrics and melodies would strike at the heart and making your blood boil with confusion, sadness and reflection? Well, after that Viva La Vida bullshit, that sort of went out the window, and it seems as if they've gotten worse and worse with age. But maybe there's hope? Maybe their new, contemplative track "Midnight" might stir some emotion? See for yourself …
It looks like iTunes is the place to listen to albums ahead of their release dates (or surprise albums in Kid Cudi's case). The Kid released his record (Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon) this past week on the music-buying and listening platform. So go get it! On another note, last week I mentioned that Pharrell was coming out with a new album (titled G I R L), and folks, you're in luck because Pharrell has decided to stream the album in its entirety via iTunes Radio. How's that for digitally representing yourself? And while you're at it, take a listen to Rick Ross' new Mastermind LP. Since you'll already be on iTunes anyway.
Sister trio Haim have been making quite a name for themselves in the pop world. Their track "The Wire" gained them some pretty good traction, considering they'd been teasing their album (Days Are Gone) for a while before it finally came out. And now the sisters have released a video for album track "If I Could Change Your Mind," and they've added some groovy dance moves to the proceedings. You can watch that below.
I've always liked Mudhoney. I feel like they were the more creative, low-key sibling of more well-known grunge contemporaries. But when you hear their sound, it's anything but low-key. Just listen to their album Superfuzz Bigmuff to get a taste of their crunchy cool. But on to the news, people. Mudhoney and Divine Fits recently recorded live records at Jack White's Third Man Records studio. And both albums hit the music market Tuesday. That's right … this coming Tuesday. So get to buyin'.
Damnit! Every time I hear Screaming Females, I'm admonished for not having purchased one of their albums, so I just need to get with it already and make a buy. In due time, people. In due time. But I've just been reminded of how their particular brand of rock is necessary in my collection after hearing a live recording of their track "Lights Out." The song comes off their upcoming LP Live at the Hideout, which is out on April 8. Listen ... and let your ears bear witness to greatness.
Nothing says good vibes like songs with the word "happy" in the title, which is evidenced by aforementioned Pharrell Williams' track "Happy." But Billboard took the initiative to compile a list of 20 chart-topping songs that contain the word "happy." NOTE: Most of them are gracious golden oldies because, let's face it, them's was the good ol' days. Keep in mind, just because a song has the word "happy" in the title doesn't mean it's going to put a smile on your face. But as an added treat, I've included one of my favorites (which is also on the list). Enjoy …

The Unofficial Drinking Game for the 2013 Oscars
By Emily Aragon [ Thu Feb 21 2013 2:22 PM ]
There is no getting around the fact that no matter how much you popcorn you make, no matter how many times you take that "one last trip" to the candy table, no matter how many live-tweeting parties you view, the Oscars are just sort of boring. Over the last few years, the games have been running at around 4 hours. Add in 2 or so hours of pre-
And what better way to pass that than with a little drinking game? With the help of the folks at the Huffington Post, nextmovie.com, and a few ideas from my own little brain, I've compiled the official Unofficial Drinking Game for the 2013 Oscars. Hit the jump for prompts to keep your night interesting, informational and classy. And please, please, please … be responsible.
On the Red Carpet take a drink every time:
• A celebrity evades a question.
• Someone says they are "so excited to be here."
• A celebrity is photobombed.
• A celebrity is asked who they are wearing.
• You see a celebrity who brought a parent/family member as their date.
• Someone wears a truly hideous dress (yes, we'll leave that up to your own discretion).
• A man wears two-toned shoes with a suit/tux
During the Oscars take a drink each time:
• Someone thanks their parents and/or God.
• Someone acknowledges Meryl Streep.
• A loser begrudgingly smiles to the camera.
• Someone says they didn't have a speech prepared.
• Seth MacFarlane cracks a failed joke.
• Seth McFarlane does a cartoon voice.
• The camera cuts to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
• The band tries to cut off someone's speech.
• Someone cries.
• Someone curses on stage and is bleeped out.
• Someone says, "I couldn't have done this without … "
• J-Law says something "charmingly unscripted."
• A winner uses their speech time as a political/
• Someone says they didn't have a speech prepared.
• Someone mentions the Grammy wardrobe restrictions
• Someone winks at the camera
• A cartoon character is shows wearing Oscar-worthy clothing.
Finish your drink if:
• Jennifer Lawrence wins Best Actress and the camera pans to Meryl Streep.
• One of the cast of Les Misérables sings.
• Adele gets a standing ovation after singing "Skyfall."

Thing Info
A salt shaker.
I initially printed it with a 0.25mm gap between the outside and inside pieces, and that was too much (although I was able to make it functional by wrapping a portion of the inner cylinder with 2 layers of scotch tape). I updated the model to use a 0.10mm gap instead; hopefully this should be a much closer fit.

in response to donnyI hit restart and held the button down and got a blank white screen for a really long time. Freaked me out. Then I turned the computer off altogether using the power button around back... and then turned it back on again. No more blank white screen, but the disk is still in there. Still making whirring noises now and then. I wonder if the library put a sticker on it or something that's physically making it stuck.

So I cautiously slid a piece of cardstock into the slot while pressing the eject button. Nothing. So I ran and got a flashlight so I could peer into the slot. But the flashlight wouldn't work either. So I started swearing pretty sincerely. And right then the disk came out. All by itself. So the answer must be to swear like you mean it.

in response to Phillips66You know, that is sometimes the key, you swear enough and in the end, it all works out.

in response to Phillips66Last night I was burning a CD on my Intel 20" iMac and aborted the burn after realizing I'd selected the wrong DMG in Disk Utility. Consequently, the semi-burned disc didn't mount. The eject key and F12 weren't working, nor was restarting the Finder. Instead of monkeying around with command line ejecting, etc, I thought it would be more time efficient to reboot holding down the mouse (the time honored way of unsticking a disc).
Upon reboot, I was confronted with a white screen and my Superdrive seeking and re-seeking the CD in the optical drive. The disc was stuck big time. My theory is that the session was incomplete and caused some crazy loop. I must've restarted 25 times and read a ton of BS posts on how to fix it. Only one helped. Let me debunk the others for those who will encounter this situation in the future, so you don't spend an our and a half on this like I did.
Rebooting and attempts at holding the mouse, eject key, F12, option key (to select boot volume), T key (target disk), open firmware boot (there is none on the macIntels), etc. were all unsuccessful. DO NOT squeeze your mac, or use tweezers to pull the disc out. As a matter of fact, don't even think about it, it's just stupid - you could void your warranty. Also, I asked Apple, and there is no emergency eject mechanism, or none that they'll advertise. Yelling at it seems profoundly stupid as a solution, but I was doing that as a byproduct of my frustration and it didn't seem to help. On the contrary, be patient, stay calm. It seems like an eternity.
Try what worked for me before sending your beloved $2,500 brick to the Apple techs. Boot the computer to the white screen of death. Let the iMac seek on the optical drive for about 5-15 minutes. It WILL give up and boot into the OS. Upon boot, it should spit out the problem disc. If your drive is bad, it may make similar sounds/behave in similar ways. I can't say this will work in that case. But if you've aborted a burn and restarted only to get a stuck disc and seemingly no booting, this is the only recourse...
Kylander Apr 25, 2006 9:57 AM
in response to Thomas FinleyHow do you boot to the "white screen of death"?
Thomas Finley Apr 26, 2006 11:31 AM
in response to KylanderYour question is vague. I'm going to answer with the notion that you have a CD that has caused the scenario I outlined in my post above, and that you aren't asking for asking's sake...
In truth, this "white screen of death" (or WSOD) is the normal Apple boot screen that's being held up from displaying anything else but white because it enters the CD seek loop so early in the boot process.
If your CD is stuck and you can't figure out how to reboot, hold your power button in until the iMac turns off and simply press the power button again to initiate the boot process (upon which you will encounter the WSOD for 5-10 minutes).

in response to Phillips66If the drive tries but fails to eject the disc (a normal eject sound followed by the grinding sound of the drive in pain) and subsequently the disc is sucked back in and re-spins, a mechanical problem exists, My money is on the drive or slot housing being misaligned or warped, as opposed to the eject mechanism being at fault. I'm pretty sure my eject mechanism is OK, because occasionally a disc will initially bind, only to be flung out like a frisbee when the binding is overcome. Once you hear the eject attempt and realize "it ain't gonna happen", quickly deliver a couple of firm knuckle raps on the palmrest area above the drive. I almost promise the disc will be ejected. This works 10 times out of 10 with my PB. The next step is to return the PB to Apple for repair. Thank goodness for AppleCare. This only occurs every 20 or so eject attempts in my case, and since I am in the middle of importing my CD collection, I have yet to have a repair made. It's an annoyance, but bearable for the time being.

in response to rikflyz@ rikflys — While I'm sure your intentions were well-meant, your advice is erroneous when you read the original post. Not only is it idiotic to recommend hitting a mac with any kind of authority, you posted your reply based on your experiences with a powerbook. This thread pertains to iMacs made in early 2006. Thanks, but really think about these things prior to writing...
@ future readers — Do not hit or pry apart your iMac. Period. If you read the original posts and subsequent replies, you will a) understand what you've gotten yourself into and b) understand that it just takes a little patience to fix it. If your imac goes on trying to boot for any duration beyond, oh, I'd say a half an hour without spitting the disc out—it's safe to assume it may be a hardware issue and then you should pursue AppleCare or whatever avenue you choose.

in response to Thomas FinleyAdd me to the list of iMac users with stuck CDs. This problem started soon after I got the computer in December, but since it was intermittent, I did not call Apple Care. Most of the time, it would come out after a few days.
Now I am under pressure to create a DVD for my daughter's 40th birthday and I am really stuck. Apple Care cannot help me though they tried all the things listed.
To actually talk to someone at the Apple Store in Short Hills is impossible, because no one answers.
Now I have the problem at 65 years of age to haul this heavy for me computer to the mall and carry it all the way from the parking lot to the store.
In the meantime, my huge project is on hold so I will start fretting until I can get an appointment and get someone to help me carry this iMac into the shop.
Why is this even a problem. On my old iMac there was a little hole into which one could stick a paper clip and voila.
As a library media specialist I had a roomful of iMacs that would periodically have this problem.
Did Apple make the new iMac too skinny? Is it so skinny that not enough width was allowed for the poor CD or DVD to get itself in and back out?
Will I carry it to the store, back home, and have the same problem again?
Is this a lemon slot?
It is sad that such a sophisticated machine has such mundane mechanical problems. Does Apple actually employ mechanical engineers?
Anyone who has been through all this, please let me know ahead of time. I may have to bow out of the whole project due on July 1st.

in response to Nan in NJNancy,
I understand your frustrations, but I think if we are to help, we'll need to know more about your situation with what's actually happening with the computer, as opposed to your worries about the future ramifications of Apple repair (and believe me, I've had my issues with them so I sympathize...)
Here are some questions to consider: What are you doing when the CDs get stuck, what sounds is the iMac making if any, are there any notable behaviors out of the realm of normal (besides the disc getting stuck), what have you tried to remedy the problem (have any posts in this forum thread worked, etc...). Saturate our geeky minds with information and ye shall receive...
Nan in NJ Jun 16, 2006 8:22 AM
in response to Thomas FinleyI have tried everything AppleCare told me to do including restart with the left mouse button down, and Shutdown then starting up with the left mouse held down. As to the sound, it makes a whirring and grinding noise, the disk disappears for a few seconds, and then it shows back on the screen. When the computer was brand new it did it once where it actually came out a bit and then went back in. When I tried it again, I grabbed it. For months it was fine, and now this problem is back worse than before. I must says that during that time I did not need to use the drive very often. Now I need it like crazy. I wish they had the old manual eject. I do have appointment today at 3PM and I am hoping to have someone to carry it to the store, otherwise I will have to find my old luggage carrier.
These are things I found on other forums but than I am afraid to try:
CD Will Not Eject - Follow these Instructions
For Operating System OS X 10.4 (that's what I have tried it on).
Maybe it works on other OS's as well.
Try these steps one after the other.
1) Push the 'eject' symbol on the keyboard (top row, far right)
2) On the Desktop click on the Macintosh HD icon. Click on the 'eject' icon next to the listed CD.
3) Open Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder (HD>Applications>Utilities), select the disc, and choose File > Eject.
4) Under the Apple logo drop-down menu, (top left corner of the screen) choose 'Restart' and hold down the mouse or trackpad button until the disc ejects.
5) Restart the computer.
a) When you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Command + Option +O + F keys. (The Command key has an Apple on it, Option is the Alt key.)
Release the keys when you see a white welcome screen.
b) Type: eject cd
push the Return key (Enter on some keyboards)
wait for the 'ok' text
c) if the cd does not eject after the 'ok', repeat b)
you may have to do this a few times (I took 4)
d) after (if) the cd ejects type: mac-boot
push the Return key.
OSX should then boot as normal.
Post Operation Advice: Don't insert the same CD unless you (probably) want to go through it all again

Hi there,
I have a brand new Intel iMac and got a disc stuck in it twice. The first time I spent some time with technical support on the phone, ended up taking my Mac to the Apple Store and had to leave it there because the guys at the Genius Bar weren't able to remove the disc (blank CD, Verbatim I think). It took me two days to have my computer back and be able to work again.
The drive was replaced, I worked on my computer without a problem for a few weeks, using the CD/DVD drive several times. Then I inserted a music CD in the drive and... here we go again/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png The disc didn't show up anywhere (Toast, iTunes, Desktop, Disk Utily, NADA/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png), the command Apple Eject didn't work either. By the way, open firm doesn't work with Intel-based MAcs.
Anyway, it was just like what happened the first time. I was furious. I was scared of restarting my computer and doing all sorts of tricks (restart it while holding down the Option button, the mouse button, etc.) because none of that worked the first time, and after that my computer simply wouldn't boot again.
So I browsed the Internet and found a forum. There this guy posted the only thing that worked for me, and saved my day (my whole week indeed/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png).
If you ever get a CD or DVD stuck in your Intel iMac, go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and in Terminal type: drutil eject
That's all. It worked like a charm/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png ANd I didn't have to take the **** computer to the shop again and loose another couple of working days/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic_ __/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
I hope this helps people with this annoying problem. And yes, Apple should be ashamed of not having included a manual eject button in the drive.
azman_a1 Jun 19, 2006 7:34 AM
in response to Phillips66i got stuck with the same problem. worst still my keyboard does not responding and the screen turns white..I tried restarting a few times but nothing happened..MY SOLUTION...turn your computer off than on again and let it be there alone until the discs comes out on its own. It works for me...hopefully for you too. As for apple please provide a manual eject button for all your product.
Raul Correa Jun 28, 2006 9:43 PM
in response to Nan in NJI have the same problem, i was burning a dvd but when i hit the eject button it unmount in the desktop but didnt eject. It will only mount again if the computer is restarted or put it in to sleep and awake it again. I have tried to do every thing that says in this post and nothing, it have like that since yesterday, what can i do? (sorry for my bad english)

From the rise of nail art blogs to the fashion industry's embrace in recent years of out-of-the-box polish hues tied to seasonal trends (remember jade, anyone?), nail color is huge these days with everyone from young teenagers on up.

Building a bike is an expensive and time-consuming process, traditionally reserved for devoted hobbyists and the very wealthy. But as cycling gains a stronger foothold in American cities, it's likely that such skills will become more commonplace in design education programs. Leading the way is Nicholas Riddle, a designer at Easton and the founder of the Urban Mobility Lab at the California College of the Arts.

We picked seven absolutely stellar graduating projects from design schools around the world for the round-up in our July/August issue, but we found many more that were equally worthy of our attention. Graduate students in industrial design, architecture, and communication design are traversing disciplinary boundaries, and stepping out of the cocooned world of the design school to take on some heavy challenges.

Does the grip attachment actually do anything? I have tried it on pretty much every gun in the game and i cant tell any diffrence, the recoil dosent really bother me im just curious to know. And if it effects some guns and not all then witch ones are those?
According to Treyarch, it reduces the amount of time a weapon needs to recenter after firing. In that case, it's effects would be most noticeable on semi-automatic and burst-fire weapons, allowing you to spam the trigger a little faster while still maintaining accuracy.
For a fully automatic gun, it would only help if you were burst-firing the weapon.
If it really does do anything for a weapon, it's not noticeable enough no matter WHAT weapon I use it on...
numerous tests show it does absolutely nothing and in fact makes some guns worse

Ah, memory is a fickle lover succumbing to the tide
grasping for the grains of sentiment sometimes left.
In cold or torrid waves, spent passions now abide
for you have left me, long ago, I'm now, alone bereft.
Grasping for the grains of sentiment sometimes left:
beside a roaring bonfire, where sparks on night winds glide;
for you have left me, long ago, I'm now alone, bereft.
I huddle in a dune's dark shade with nothing left inside.
Beside a roaring bonfire, where sparks on night winds glide,
we conceive a wayward child, a changeling child, a thief.
I huddle in a dune's dark shade with nothing left inside,
as the waves of age and ages, return only grief.
We conceive a wayward child, a changeling child, a thief.
In cold or torrid waves, spent passion now abides,
as the waves of age and ages, return only grief,
ah, memory is a fickle lover succumbing to the tide.

sometimes i talk to myself,
my mind is racing,
i dont know what to do...
so hard to explain.
depression isn't a stage
or a faze some kids go through
it shatters you...
i saw it all.
she cried silent in her bed,
blood stains covered her favorite jeans,
her every shirt,
long sleeve ofcourse...
she suffered through it all with few people to call friend
and more to call enemy
even more to say where quite dissappointed....
her first name in school,
not started by a bully
or a mean rival,
but by her sister,
and it echoed through her soul,
repeating in her mind... over and over again,
like the ripples of still water
when a pebble is dropped
flash frozen in time
over and over again...
It was the first name they gave her,
millions where created over the years,
some unique
some repeating again, just as the first had..
gothic they called her,
emo, fat, ugly....worse things.
but in her mind, things where worse.
everything was repeating,
over and over again,
finally she believed it.
she asked for help, from everyone
tried to explain to parents she wasnt well,
got called a psycho for asking to see a theripist,
not from a teacher,
not from a class mate,
but from her own father, who wouldn't, couldn't,
believe there could possibly be a thing wrong....
finally, crying, she confessed her bloody secret to a teacher.
rather then giving her time,
she is sent back to class crying her eyes out, as if she wherent going through enough...
she is sent to the principals office a few minutes later, after breaking down in class...
the princlipal says she needs help,
sends her and her dad for a risk evaluation,
her dads crying as she shows him her cuts...
they walk into a hospital room,
it smells of chemicals and hand sanitizer,
the lady at the desk gives her a smile.
then she goes into a room with a lady,
her cheeks are sunken in and shes wearing way too much makeup,
the girl is gaging on her perfume,
and she looks really intimidating....
her dark brown hair looks dead and flat
even though its a bit wavy,
and she wears somewhat of a mocking frown.
asks her all these questions,
is mommy beating her?
is daddy raping her?
is she doing drugs?
not alot
is anyone beating her?
did anyone molest her?
oxcarbezapine, trazadone, citalipran, clinazapam, colonipan,
valium, lithium, more.......
and thats what they gave her,
some numbed the pain
some brought it out
tearing through her organs,
she became an addict by the time she was fourteen....
over dose after over dose
some for pleasure
some for pain,
gashes on her legs getting deeper,
this time she didnt tell a soul,
not even those she had come to call friends....
wakeup she screamed in her head over and over again
as she dropped weight like it was nothing....
you cant controll it she argued as things became worse.
at age fourteen she attempted suicide,
she didnt quite succeed.
the medication took away her aappitite....
she liked it
she hated her body
hated herself
felt out of controll
found a new way to cope
as she shoved tooth brush after toothbrush down her throat
to keep her body from nuitrients...
as she whent weeks and weeks spitting food into napkins and making excuses
I ate at my friends house....
spoken as a whisper
heard like a sentance
echoing in her mind over and over again,
along with that word, all the words,
ugy, anoying, stupid, fake, worthless, nothing...
one bite she would say
rocking back and forth
craving nothing but food
her body racked with hunger pain
one bite and there she was again
over and over and over again
back to a toothbrush
this time she sees blood
she saw her ribs
she saw her bones,
it wasnt good enough,
she almost died, again....
choking on this deep dissappointment in herself,
gaging on everything they where pushing down her throat,
their words, and their insults, their criticism.... their drugs
all shoved down her throat like candy
and just as she was was trained to do she swallowed despite the bad taste
or the hurt
or the fact that at the rate she was going she would be dead soon...
and you know why?
because daddy yelled
and couldnt accept what was happening
not because he wanted to hurt her
but because it hurt him,
and she let him believe,
because she could take the hurt if it meant he didnt have too.
because mommy didnt want to sit in her room all day
smoking weed
doing nothing,
practically having us raise ourselves,
she didnt mean to take anger, or frustration or hurt out on her daughter
she suffered everyday in her solitary confinement,
and from a young age she accepted her bedroom was the cage
her mother had created for herself.
because sister didnt want to effect her the way she did
she was just frustrated
fed up with the way things where
scared, she needed someone to take her cruelty
and to help heal her pain...
because people in school
who where so cruel
had to have learned from somewhere
and she wasnt going to play into their games,
and they knew she was an easy target
because she would never attack someone so weak
and she accepted her suffering was a sacrafice
to help all these people....
to help her dad,
her mom,
her sister,
every person who was beaten abused or hurt
and felt so weak at home they wanted to feel strong in the one safe place they had.
because depite the fact she had died inside,
and almost passed away on the out,
it was a saccrafice she was willing to make
so that no one else would have to feel that kind of pain,
and they all inflicted it and broke her down'untill there was nothing left but a shell
of somthing that could have been
and never had the chance
and why?
because she would take it and wouldnt strike back,
because sometimes "just taking it"
isnt so much about the weakness not to do anything
but about the strangth not to hurt others the way they hurt you...

With unfamiliar tune
You pine for lost romance,
Yet treasure not the Moon.

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
"Lord, let me join her." he would pray.
"Let this day be my last."
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, "How sweet."
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But, there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
Then, after the last one was planted,
He sniffed it; then turned and licked Bob's face.
Bob smiled. "I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don't mind old fella,
That's what I'll call you."
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob's bed.
He intended to be Bob's best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he 'd come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob's life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
"Lord, let this day be my last."
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one night,
Both quietly passed away.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought flowers to her husband's grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then turned and licked her face.
She smiled. "I had a dog when I was young...
a good one too. His name was Pal."

Ignorant to passing time
Reality strikes its deafening chime
Unspoken words pass between
I and you, my darling queen
Lay your weary head to rest
With your arms across your chest
Now it's time to close your eyes
Whisper your final goodbyes
Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night
Embracing tears of bitter pain
Falling lightly with the rain
Out of reach, I hear your song
Alone again, I sing along
Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night
From the night. . .
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I never saw you so alive
So alive
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I'll never ever say goodbye
Never say goodbye
Life has ended, you have won
Death befriended, pain is gone
Fly away into the light
Crystal clear and shining bright
Close your eyes for final rest
Meeting among the blessed
Let me go, we'll both be free
Cross the wasteland, past the sea
Find the path to heaven's light
Break away from endless night
From the night. . .
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I never saw you so alive
So alive
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I'll never ever say goodbye
Never say goodbye
I let you go so you'll be free
Cross the path of darkened sea
I watched your velvet wings take flight
I can never say goodbye
Never say goodbye

Once again, the powers that must
In rise again in what we trust
An overseas conflict, another war
Just what in the hell are we fighting for
Families are asking, Korea has just passed
Generations again reft, how long will it last
A country in need, to rebuild again
Flags at half mast, in wind and rain strain
Once again into war, sent by the Washington Post
To send back reports to hit home the most
Military observers were the first to be sent in
Another chapter of man entering existing sin
I'm witnessing our ariel power, Lam Son 719
US planners determine their incursion, saying all will be fine
Along the Mekong River, we'll carpet bomb their supply trail
Tons of munitions and napalm, this spread surely cannot fail
Many sorties are being flown, for the wounded and the dead
Whilst Nixon and his cronies, aren't thinking with their heads
The news of losses has reached me, nineteen have been killed
Eleven missing, fifty nine wounded, more American blood spilled
Seven fixed wing aircraft, more sons in action loss
Whilst back at home more protests, fading the dyeing's gloss
To to this job that I do, I was never prepared for this
To witness such bloody scenes, and ignore that life is bliss
How can I write about a soldier, whose name I'll never know
Killed at nineteen years old, his family he'll never see grow
Or even explain to his parents, when carried from the AH-1
His body bullet riddled and limp, when lifted it bloodily run
I never went back to the theatre, called the Vietnam War
Having witnessed the wanton killing, what were we fighting for
This colonial conflict that started, us on the side of France
So many came back as strangers, many to live in trance

Between happiness and sadness
—silence; an angel prays:
I kiss the loneliness of old people,
their temples like handfuls of winter;
their hearts
are used baggage,
memories speak to them,
they smile and
tell me stories from their youth
—sadness falls;
silence passes unspoken
—they remember the dead.
I kiss the loneliness from their temples
and sadness lifts from their mouths.

Born I was, still alive today, down, but I'll be back to say
Even at a small age, when our house burnt to the ground
Disorientated, confused, in it's smoke filled surround
With no other place to go, to a Caravan we called our home
It was the events after this, that allowed my mind to roam
Little me playing in a field, on a broken bottle I fell
Crimson fountains erupted, I survived, as I'm here to tell
That Monday night so special, Boys Brigade we headed to be
I tried to run faster, but my brother was faster than me
Out of the opening he went, boy running, was he skilled
He was there, but gone the next, knocked down, my brother killed
My mind now in roam and wander, fathers health started to slide
Where does a seven year old turn to, to whom does he confide
Pillar to post I headed, fostered out, and to children's homes
Six years later many more tears, my father in deathly roam
To my father I kept my promise, to the Royal Navy I would go
Whilst training, caught under a raft, my life nearing slow
Pulled from the water was I, nearly drained of what little I had
A release of water, a gasp of air, hours later feeling so glad
Eventually what I'd always wanted, to be happy and family be
Married to the girl whom I'd know, would love to marry me
But to a colleague I'd declared my worries, of a phone call I'd take
For History would repeat itself, to awaken to a possible wake
That call finally arrived, to the telephone, speaking to my eldest son
Liam his younger brother, knocked down, my tears in run
I'm blessed that he was saved, which cancelled out that call
I only wish that technology was, that I'd have a firewall
This is me up to date, apart this last weekend
Again I thought I lost my youngest, once again relieved of strain
Hours up at the Hospital, the first human skull I've seen
A serious cut to his head, but what it could have been
This my life's chapter, around the corner we never know
But all I can say to the above, around me continues to glow

Don't put your view all are blind
They can't see ten or nine
They have determined they can find
Solution is already all know shrine
Bereave is not necessity it always dawns
Scarce barks all the day as unwelcome guest
Put your disguise on your veil
All viewed your deceitful hay
Shame on you for being that that
Looting always day by day
Poor creatures are suffocating
Swallowing your poisonous play.

The Hours of Alzheimer
It starts ticking away slowly
Longer needed to search what's known.
Watching the hand jerk
Minutes passing
"Twelve is for noon, then?"
"Yes. Yes, Daddy! Just like that.
Twelve noon is lunch."
Very gently, oh so sweetly,
Out of love and kindest thought
Offering words and filling fissures
Keeping pace and instant beating
"The, oh, you know, the oh how silly, the the box thing"
"Yes, the box thing, the clock, Daddy. Says it's 3 and time for tea."
Now impatience starts its tapping
Chasms stretching longer still
Wanting this moment
to stop its running
"I I please fork I I food"
"Oh, of course, dear Daddy. Dinner time.
Here, your fork. "
Interval waxing
Memory waning
Lingering in the distance
This cavity expanding
"Oh it's last course time Daddy. Some dessert, then time for bed."
Midnight falling
Thoughts abandoned
Cadence silent
Dead of night

I Cried For My Father's Death
I cried for my father's death then
but never for my own cutting pain,
That was not understood back when,
I felt my life had nothing to gain.
Life taught me few things are fair,
misery and pain follow every gift,
Although young with full head of hair
life gave nothing to spirit uplift.
Often in awe of power of the storm,
we forget the damage such inflicts.
Such folly too often is the norm,
sadly man's Nature allows such tricks.
Time onward flows, as old wounds it heals
Life does reward those,loving heart steals!

Time Has Passed, Colors Are On The Wane
Time has passed, colors are on the wane,
Saddened smiles are dancing once again.
Youthful perfect days are now deceased,
Into dark midnights, aged and released.
Like shreds of colored glass they yet shine,
And cut softly into this heart of mine.
Like sad whimpers from a crying child,
Forever - Lost beauty, fading in the wild,
Or heartache pain refusing to mend,
Punishing dear life at its fading end.
The pity! Such splendid days never last,
As we endure yet more anguish from the past
For we need the end to hold all the more
Love and joy to even out sadder days of yore!
R.J. and Robert J. Lindley- a collaboration.
Note- This old sonnet , found late last night has
been about halfway re-written and retitled this morn.
Thus its the old me from 1975 and the much, much older me
from, November 2015. As such its a collaboration.....
Don't blame me, my muse insists!!
Jab Meri Bechaini Mit Jayegi
Jab Mere Dilko Sukoon Mil Jayega
Yeh Khaalipan Mit Jayega
Do Pal Ki Chandni Ke Liye
Aj Bhi Zinda Hoon Main
Meri Khaamoshi Ke Ageh Aasmaan Bhi Khatam Ho Jayega
Kehne Ke Liye Toh Roz Marta Hoon Main
Thoda Aur Marne Ke Liye
Yeh Deewana Kal Phir Ayega

Because I'm Ready To Grow Up
I have had enough
Enough with the happy times
I'm ready to take on the stress
No more playground or bubbles baths please
Enough with the piles and piles of mess
I'm grown up now ready for change
I had it with being a baby bird
I don't want to be fed I don't want to cry
I want to get out of the nest, spread my wings
I want to take flight in the sky so high
I had enough of the princess dresses
Get rid of those Barbie dolls
Throw away all those plastic high heels
And bring on the teenage texting of Lols
Don't u get it I've had enough
I'm ready to grow up to break out of the shell
I'm prepared to take on life's earthquakes
Waiting for the day when I'll have stories to tell
Princesses and fairies will never be real
There is nothing in the world that's free
You don't magically have a happy ending
All i can be in life is me
So I'm ready to grow up
To escape the magical world
For you have to earn whatever you want
Nothing comes in a pink sparkly twirl
So I've had enough
Rip my childhood apart
I'm happy to face the impending future
drown the happy memories in my heart

The engine: Long and black
And sleek as she could be
She shook the earth in her approach
As her heraldry.
An atmosphere of steam and smoke
Expanding in her wake
The Queen-of-the-Rails speeds on
An arrival soon to make.
Massive is her presence
Enormity her design
Power is her excess
This Queen is so refined
Once she ruled with majesty
When o'er the rails she flew
But … now, this one last time,
The railway bids: "Adieu".
Slowly when she comes to stop
We see she's thoroughbred
When water, steel and hard, black coal
Within her there are wed.
Her regal-ness resplendent
In fittings' shining bright
Commanding our respect
O'er the rails of her last flight.
Now sitting at the siding
She's puffing rhythmic breath
The museum's destination
Of her life commits its' theft.
Photographs will mimic
Her image of today
But missing from those photos:
Glories of Yesterday
When o'er the steel she thundered
Demanding from all who saw
Respect for Her grand power
Which held them all in awe.
But Glory, she found, was fleeting
When "progress" came to call
Her future then was set in stone
In the writing on the wall.
Now we hear the brake release …
Her throttle then is moved …
She inches down the shiny track
Where the land with steel is grooved
Then as she gains her speed
And whistles out her "yell"
An announcement for all to hear:
"I know I've served you well!"
She's journeyed through the ages
And a boy – an old man now -
Watches as she fades away -
He waves, then shouts out: "Ciao!"
But in his mind is yesteryear
With his dog there by his side
Watching near the railroad tracks
Where the Queen-of-the-Rails did ride.
And long from now whenever
He says: "Remember when …"
In those times of reverie,
She'll come alive … again.

Happiness in a Wrong way – Zamreen Zarook
In the notion of seeking happiness,
I thought of stepping in to nonsense,
I dream I could find success,
But I had only little access.
Every attempt that I lend,
It was an utter failure at the end,
My life was full of difficult bend,
But God is always there as a good friend.
My deeds travel in various ways,
Some times in subways,
Or in times it goes in highways,
But I had the belief, God is there always.
North and south families surrounded,
East and west friends are rounded,
Every time fear on death soughed,
I am trapped, and my merits are loaded.

Who would believe your slim elegant body would win my affection,
when you gracelessly step on toes? Your soft doe skin of cream
spotted brown, floppy ears I threaten to turn into gloves as a joke.
Through many chain jangle calls for walks where you race and lunge
and bark fighting for the right to be with me, how could I turn you away?
When you almost die I am ready to give you away to death, hating the sick
green puke, you become skinnier despite the surgery until finally
one simple shot brings you back to us alive, slurping our hands and faces.
Busy days of science and humanities and government tucked up in a chair,
I forgot you, but you begged let me even eat your apple. let me sit in your lap
but you're so big now you don't fit and don't like apple. Chocolate chips cookies, though, a whole batch scarfed from the table and then you wiggle and wag tail,
snarl, your teeth clenched when I offer just one more. We all know who is guilty,
not you, your innocence, your steadfast defense, says it is our family who has forgot.
Finally, it is too late. You hurt too bad, spine enflamed, barely able to walk
or eat. Tomorrow your last day. I pick up the chain, you race happy to join me
down the row of maples losing their last autumn leaves, where my brother and I lead you plodding like an old man, stopping to breathe, and I see stars in my eyes,
saying goodbye. Goodbye to the lady of our family, the Dalmatian Duchess
who loved us best, walked beside us through our childhood days like a guardian.

Woven lines patterned like the black widow's silk.
Resting upon the face and the hands.
Insidious, the crow perches on skin once like milk.
Nestled in laugh lines, the years' stark demands.
Kings and Queens reign, then they, too, grow old.
Looking back at all the scavengers stole.
Each wrinkle a regret, the grave dagger's dole.

If only dreams had wings,
I would be where I had wanted to be.
If only shadows don't stray so far off;
My destiny assured would bring me peace of minds
If only dreams had wings,
I'd have met my man from Tokyo by now
If the roses still blooms, tended less;
Less worries that I will for so long plough
If only dreams had wings,
Low grounds will my feet fear
If money had meant no value at all;
Off every luxury should my feet wear
If only dreams had wings,
There will be those bright lights;
Very eager to blind me into void's air-tights
If dreams had wings,
I would definitely be flying by now
And right now

This poem is about how I feel the world has betrayed at most every turn.
I received my awakening,
About the age of three,
Too young for understanding,
Of why it was me.
A house full of roaches,
A room shared by four,
A floor thick with ashes,
A splintered front door.
At the age of three,
I cracked my head in the hall,
I asked my mom for a hug,
She slammed me into the wall.
Soon after this,
I was mauled by a Rott,
Just a random-found stray,
That tied my face in a knot.
Later that year,
My parents divorced,
Leaving me as,
A weakening force.
My mother moved away,
And took my baby sis,
Left the rest of family,
Without even a kiss.
Father was a drunk,
He hardly was capable,
Of nourishing his children,
So it was inescapable,
That CPS came,
Said, "Get it together",
I think then, he tries,
To make our lives better.
Months later, he drives,
To the grocery store,
Leaving us with babysitters,
He'd never done that before.
Next thing that I knew,
Banging at the door,
Two men with gold badges,
Yell, "Get on the floor!"
The babysitters dropped,
Hands behind head,
I thought my dad changed,
I see this instead.
I now see my father,
Glazed eyes, in handcuffs,
Police say its O.K.,
I see through their bluffs.
To my great-grandmother's,
On my father's side,
Her house was my new home,
A new place to reside.
Soon we moved again,
My father's dad's house next,
Everything was changing,
Life got more complex.
From this moment on,
I'm in therapy and day-treatment,
Being told there's something wrong,
Due to my prior maltreatment.
At my new house,
I gained a new brother,
Six years older than me,
I look up to him more than others.
Now seven years old,
In second grade,
Christmas is here!
My worst moment this decade.
Christmas day!
Playing with new toys,
My brother, and me
Running around just like boys,
I said, "This day's perfect!"
My brother shook his head,
He said, "No day's perfect."
Which filled me with dread,
The very next morning,
Grandma told my sisters and I,
"To the living room, kids."
My heart jumps to the sky.
"Last night, your mother...
Shot herself twice..."
These words dropped like bombs,
So strong, so concise.
"She was rushed to the hospital,
And put on life support."
Though I learned that that morning,
They pulled the plug from its port.
Confused, miserable,
Depressed, distraught,
Why me? What'd I do?
A screaming, sobbing thought.
My life is a blur,
My pain is too large,
Is this life a punishment?
Dear God, What's My Charge?
Copyright © Jay Smith | Year Posted 2010
What I do to deserve this heartbreak,
this horrid and unnatural pain,
this cleche of events that strike me simultaneously
as the time ticks away,
and as the grinning faces pierce a whole through my soul
and my heart turns pale and slowly beats.
My heart is torn in two,
and I cannot find the doctors to stich me up.
I ask an old man,
how does love go about,
he smaked me in the face and went on.
The pain and the sorrow,
it is too much to feel,
too much to gain in one serving,
When I eat, I taste posion, not passion,
familiar faces turn grey, with ruby eyes and sharp fangs
they hiss at me, like a cat to a mouse.
I don't understand why I deserve this.
I am a good man,
who loves with open arms and a big heart.
With every hug I give,
I recieve a knife of betrayal in my back,
I feel the blood ooze from my open wounds,
suicidal tendencies roll through my mine,
but I quickly throw them out,
because Mama didn't raise no coward.
I see the blow, I clench my fists
and swing away,
God cries wanting to stop this madness,
Death laughs and soon joins in,
people join in and punch away.
I lay there on the concret blood everywhere,
my heart torn out of my chest,
each with a thousand knives stabbed in it,
as it slowly beats,
I lay their on the pavement,
looking up to the heavenly skies,
and as it starts to rain droplets of hope
I ask myself,
What did I do to deserve this?
Then, I shall close my eyes
and rest for awhile.
Inspired by all the betrayal and heartbreak I've faced, by so many cowards who didn't want to recieve my love. People I had thought who were my friends, came with invitations of humiliation and hate, and now I see who my real friends are; this pen and paper... Have a good day.
P.S. No one should ever be shown this much betrayal and heartbreak. I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy. Have a good day!

The Apple PASTURE
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture.
Were once was and all well meet.
A pure and dear site.
Where silver reflection cover the still waters that holds the golden
grains of morality and the grazing souls lie young amounce no stars.
Oh how I long
To drift into the apple pasture
Were winds smell of melon and the trees whisper spring corals in the mellow dark and best of light and time creeps into no tomorrow.

The Yearbook
The years have since gone by—
aged seniors now are we.
I scan each page to see
lost friends with teary eye;
then note, with relieved sigh,
some are still here with me.
Our yearbook is online—
my high school friends all there.
But posted clear to share,
a list beneath a sign
of those who crossed the line
and climbed our Heaven's stair.
Salutes to each dear friend—
Here—joy and sorrow blend.

As the dawn expells its authoritive cast; they awake, but are abandoned. They
turn--but their friend the sun ignores and they understand. They commune
their relationship and part with their memories; and sigh.
They say their good-byes in a tone of fullfilment, but aface their anxieties
toward the skies for hope; but are denied. A clouded sky brings a chill in the
air and a rustling of rakes and flames.
Old as hell, written in HS for publication, circa 1971 by me. When I was young in the 60's in Ohio, we burned leaves in our backyard; sometimes our household trash too. You had to be me to be there GV. Count me in as last place. Take care.

Hither I stand, at crossroads,
And then I gaze, at the yonder end-
The vague horizon from where I began;
And all that I may ever deem
Is that- my days
Have been a waken dream.
Hither I stand, at the edge of my dream;
Then I wonder, at the depth of my trance-
An adventurous journey through the wondrous woods;
An idyllic stroll through the vicissitudinous meadow;
And from the final station as I depart,
All that I can ever say, is that
Perpetuation has been a rouge
Of fleeting phases of my life.

I had a friend ,, from long ago
We were only young you know
She was my best friend
At least that's what I thought
We did everything together
I liked her a lot !
But then one day
I had to leave for school
Though I wish I did not
Cause I missed her a lot
Then one day I came home
When I called out to for her
She did not answer me
I looked for her high & low!
But then I heard one day
From the TV news man
That she had met 3 bad men
And they took her away
She is with the angels now
For it could not be any other way
And I know she waits for me
Cause she was always that way !!!
I moved away from home, age 16, up to Oregon to get my degree in child psychology & teaching, come home at 18. had a dream that Sandy and I went to a house party "both of us age 18" then she went into another room with 3 men. So I stood there & knocked forever on the door. Sandy never came out. This is a TRUE dream ! And yes this ( her missing) was on the news . Two brothers and a cousin killed her.

The weakened soft thoughts lay humble
within future coats
a darkened past tracks scampered shines
forth a morning of immortal moved elements
it will bring away
a prime love can't be replaced
and thus it comes
a very open hide light of it's first sight
in pursued windows of no time
sun anyway goes down and hot as hell
by age
gray visions,left behind in desire,
delicious empty shades of dawns
filds or doors
just dusk doors
and spilled life only are
these present words

How queer the color of viscera
squarely foreign in my breast
To be the butcher and grim and goddess
All in one
Leaves identity succinct
Or identifies succinctness
If it has been
Then so it was always before
Therein is 'Peace'
Reposed and eyes rolling
Great, vacant saucers on vertiginous axis
She is quite the swollen beast
And on all fronts, she is terrible
If only you'll watch you may notice her growth
A malignant sort
An unwelcome appendage
I'd dash it out but I've already gone
Too pale and dogged in life to succumb
I curse her tenacity
She has a sister, I think
Or maybe a child
A child who lives down deep in my chest
A child who shrieks and tears down the walls
Perhaps she dislikes their pattern

For all the tears we've wept, for all of those we've lost.
We'll weep again some more, as we're told we matter not.
You know they will not say it, but it's there within their eyes.
The old and frail aren't welcome, as they're steadily pushed aside.
If you don't believe me, then at a party get up as if to dance.
Mouths will gawk and eyes will roll as they come to set us back.
They'll act like we're so shameful, as we laugh, and have some fun.
Then they'll come to guide us to a chair somewhere in the background.
Our wisdom isn't needed; they're far too superior for that.
They can't respect the old ones' thoughts, who're out of date, in fact.
Of course they want our money, and will gladly scope out our homes.
And they want us to beleaguer ourselves so they can go happily on.
But where is the regard that they say our age is due…
Too often it's in a distant Nursing home no one will ever drive to.
This is dedicated to all those lost souls left in Nursing Homes whom no one
ever visits.

Getting the most out of your smartphone
There are a couple of things you need to check to ensure you always get the best experience using your Smartphone on the 2degrees network.
The latest software
With Smartphones, there can quite often be regular software updates. These updates can range from security fixes, to OS upgrades/enhancements. It's important to keep your device up to date to make sure it is secure and operating at its best.
Activate data roaming
To maximise your national mobile data coverage on 2degrees (access to the Internet, email and MMS messaging), check that data roaming is enabled on your phone or device. There are no additional charges associated with this within New Zealand.
Please note that by setting up data roaming your handset will also be able to access the Internet when you travel overseas, so Pay Monthly customers might want to set up Spend Control before travelling overseas.
Here are the steps to set up data roaming for some specific devices:
Android – Navigate to your mobile network settings and ensure Data roaming is on.
Windows Phone – Depending on the version of Windows your device is running:
- Navigate to Settings > mobile network> Data roaming options and select roam from the dropdown box
- Navigate to Settings > mobile + SIM options and select roam from the dropdown box.
Other – Check under Settings and look for a data roaming option to turn on.

Thieves try to steal $65K in catalytic converters from Fort Thomas Jeff Wyler dealership
FORT THOMAS, Ky. – Some bold thieves tried to pull off a crime Friday night that was too big for them to handle in one trip.
Fort Thomas police are looking for suspects they say tried to steal 50 to 60 pound catalytic converters and particulate filters from brand new diesel trucks at a Jeff Wyler dealership at about 2 a.m. on March 21.
"They took 10 items all together," said Sgt. Casey Kilgore with the Fort Thomas police. "They are so big and heavy (they) hid eight of them in the woods."
Detectives believe the thieves were planning to return to the dealership to take the remaining items. They cut through fencing to get to the trucks located at 100 Alexandria Pike.
Kilgore said the total loss to the dealership is estimated at $65,000. The newer, larger converters contain platinum in them, he added.
"They are either going to take them apart and take out the precious metal, or take them somewhere and try to sell them," Kilgore said.
Kilgore said he would be surprised if the thieves tried to straight out sell the converters to a scrap yard since they are so large and new.


text: The latest Executive Insight Report explores the results of a new HealthLeaders Media Buzz Survey on capital finance and industry consolidation The data reveal that many healthcare organizations are following similar strategies when it comes to acquisitions and affiliations. Far more organizations say they expect to acquire or partner than be bought. Similarly, expanding a geographic footprint is the predominant reason for healthcare groups' M&A, partnership, or affiliation efforts. And, the majority of respondents said they are focusing on expanding in the primary care and physician practices. Obviously, not every healthcare organization can be an acquirer, and not every group should focus solely on expanding in primary care and physician practices. How can entities differentiate themselves if every healthcare organization in the industry is following the same strategy? As the industry continues to consolidate, the need for strategic and creative planning, partnering, and financing is essential for all healthcare organizations.

FreeBSD ports tricks
One of the many reasons to love FreeBSD is its ports collection. Nearly 10,000 applications are available, and any installation is a mere make install clean away. In this article, I'd like to share some of my favorite ports tricks.
Even if you've been using the ports collection for a while, a read through man ports may reveal some tricks you were unaware of. If you have lots of disk space but a slow or intermittent Internet connection, this tip from the manpage is a real gem:
% cd /usr/ports
% make readmes
You may want to go grab some lunch while the command does its thing. When it's finished, you'll have a new file called /usr/ports/README.html. Open that file in your favorite web browser and you'll find some very handy hyperlinks. First, there is a link to the FreeBSD handbook, which can be accessed either offline from your hard disk, or online from the FreeBSD web site. Next, there is a link to the Porter's Handbook. If you've ever wondered at the magic behind a port's Makefile or had the urge to make your own port, this is the file to read.
