I am a PhD candidate in the Center for HCI and Department of Computer
Science at Virginia Tech. I plan on finishing my PhD work by December
2010. I would be interested in learning more about the social
experience designer position at RIM.
My own work—focusing on design artifacts and storyboarding—and my
previous user research internship experiences at IBM Research have
allowed me to develop extensive user research skills. Over the years, I
have developed expertise in quantitative and qualitative methods in lab,
remote, and field environments. Interviews, surveys, video analysis,
heuristics, scenarios, participatory design, and log analysis are
examples of some of the methods I have used. These skills inform
exploratory research or existing designs in the form of storyboards or
wireframes. I have come to understand when particular methods should be
used and how to quickly deliver actionable recommendations and takeaway
messages to product teams.
To give you a clearer picture of my experience, I am attaching my resume
and portfolio for consideration. Please feel free to contact me if you
need anything else. I will gladly provide references upon request. I
look forward to hearing from you.

Our 12th annual event provides a unique opportunity for the mobility operator and industry experts to convene and examine ongoing and upcoming programmes, whilst building and consolidating relationships within the community.
I am delighted to announce that this year's event includes a pre-conference base tour of the 100th Air Refuelling Wing at RAF Mildenhall on 29 September. This site visit offers experiential learning for our guests, who will be able to see the equipment in use and gain insight on a practical level, with explanations from the technical officers and subject matter experts on hand. It is also a great networking icebreaker to meet with other delegates and colleagues in a less formal setting than the main conference.
Back down in London, the conference will examine how Airlift remains the key capability for air operations that are expected to cover increasingly demanding military, logistics and humanitarian missions. Military and industry experts are expecting plenty of international activity around the renewal of transport fleets, modern capability acquisition and the replacement of aging avionic systems, in order to cope with the loads of today's operations. Furthermore, in the absence of a major expeditionary operation post the withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq, it appears that the user is taking this window of opportunity to modernise, resupply and prepare for the next major demand.
We look forward to welcoming you in London this September!
Military Airlift is very useful as a pre-deployment familiarisation on the airlift environment NATO AIRLIFT MANAGEMENT AGENCY
This is without doubt, the strongest airlift conference with which I have been involved and boasts a most diverse and comprehensive speaker panel. WING COMMANDER ANDY KIME, HQ AIR /ISAF AMCC

I was a typical 18 yrs old gavawala when I arrived Mumbai (Ghatkopar). It was actually my Sangeeta Maushi (my mothers sister, 35 yrs, 36breasts 34 waist and 38 hips height 5.4 and had motiyaa colored skin ) who convinced my mother to let me come to Mumbai to earn lot of money. Even my parents got convinced as my Sangeeta's husband had become rich after leaving the same village from where I was and started his own business in Mumbai. So the day I arrived to my Maushi's House I was welcomed very happily. As the days went I understood the exact purpose of my Maushi's calling me to Mumbai I ended up being the Naukar of that family. As I didn't had enough money to go back I had to stay behind. But the day I understood this tragedy, I had developed a cold rage for Sangeeta Maushi and some how wanted to teach her a lesson.

Raji was alone in the house and It was proposed by her that I stay
with her, join the college for my inter course. My parents agreed. That's why I went to stay with her.More over since she doesn't have male child, I was treated like her son.

The official currency in Mexico is the Mexican peso. Dollars are also accepted in Cancun and other Mexican Caribbean destinations but not outside the tourist areas. You can exchange your US dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, sterling and traveler's checks for pesos at banks and bureau de change.
US and Canadian dollars and traveler's checks in Canadian dollars, Euros, British sterling and Swiss francs can also be exchanged at the Front Desk in your resort. Traveler's checks in US dollars are not accepted.
As part of Mexico's campaign against money laundering, in September 2010, the Federal Government passed a reform to regulate money changing, specifically with regard to US Dollars. This legislation affects banks, bureau de change, hotels and other businesses. Please take the following into account when planning your vacation:
The official language in Mexico is Spanish, although English is widely spoken, especially in resort areas. Some tour guides and resort staff also speak French, Italian, German and Portuguese. Maya is the native tongue and is still spoken in rural communities throughout the Yucatan. The service staff at our resorts speak Spanish and English.
The Mexican Caribbean enjoys over 300 days of sunshine during the year and the climate is hot and humid. Temperatures in January hit an average high of 27˚C/81˚F and a low of 19 ˚C/66˚C. Summer temperatures are higher and with 80% humidity, it feels even hotter. July and August are the warmest months with an average high of 32˚C/90˚F and nighttime lows of 26˚C/78˚F registered for July. The rainy season runs from June to October and rainfall usually takes the form of short, heavy showers and thunderstorms. Tropical weather systems forming in the Caribbean may occasionally bring longer periods of rain and wind. Winter rainfall and lower temperatures are brought by nortes or northerly winds blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico. They usually last for two to three days.
We recommend that you bring cool, light colored cotton clothing and a pair of comfortable shoes if you are planning to explore the area's archaeological sites. You will need trousers and long-sleeved shirts for jungle treks. Pack a light jacket or sweater or a shawl for the evenings, especially in the winter. A hat, sunglasses and plenty of sun block are indispensable.
On February 1, 2015 a new time zone called Hora Sureste was created for the state of Quintana Roo or the Mexican Caribbean, bringing it into the same time zone as cities along the eastern seaboard of the United States, Eastern Standard Time.
The new legislation stipulated that the clocks would not be moved again during the year to reflect Daylight Saving Time as they are in other parts of Mexico.
The neighboring states of Yucatan and Campeche are not in the Hora Sureste and remain on Central Standard Time, a one-hour time difference.
110 volts. We recommend that you bring a voltage converter with you if you are using 220-volt devices.
Waiters generally receive 15% and sky caps and bell-boys $2 US per bag. The suggested daily tip for the maid who cleans your villa at Royal Resorts is $3 US for the suite and $2US for the room or $5 US when the villa is fully occupied.
There are a number of 18-hole golf courses in the Cancun area and in the Riviera Maya. Royal Resorts members and guests are entitled to special discounted green fees at several local golf clubs, please contact the Royal Resorts Golf Reservations Center upon arrival for more details and reservations.
You need to check with your service provider in your own country before departure to make sure that you have international coverage. Cell phones are available for rent locally.
Ask at the Front Desk upon arrival at your resort for details of English speaking AA meetings held regularly in the area.
Ask at the Front Desk upon arrival at your resort for a list of churches and the times of services. Some churches and hotels offer services in English.

Cardio after work
Sav, do you always do legs so close together. I looked back and you did them on 2/3 as well. Nice lifts though. ;)
nice stiffy Sav! pressing is ace too!
BB: No , usually I only train legs once a week, but I'm trying each body part twice a week. Don't ask why, cause I really couldn't tell ya..........
One thing I've realised is that there's no way my body is into cardio late at night after closing up the store, so from now on I'l have to make sure it gets down earlier in the day regardless.
Got up early this morning for 45 mins cardio at this other gym in town I've been checking out. Better atmosphere.
Weights later.
WOW. You are amazingly strong. I feel like a total weenie! (The day I get to those kind of numbers, I think I will throw an "I kick ass party"... it'll probably be in about 2 years. Save the date.)
I'd be really interested to hear about the other aspects of your contest prep (diet, posing, etc) if you have time to post them. BEST of luck with the show - judging from (old) pics in the picture forum, you should do great!
If you need a training partner, let me know;)
good luck
If you need a 3rd training partner, let me know ;)
Good luck with the show Anna.
LMAO! Awwwww I could totally use a male training partner....
I just enjoy training with a guy more than another female.
There may be a possibility of my old workout partner from several months ago relocating to the area which could be handy.....
Thanks again to all those well-wishers..... and Carolinagirl, I'll try to be more thorough in my posts/updates... sorry I'm just lazy sometimes :)
How much cardio are you doing each week?
I don't usually go over 45 mins total in a day. So wether it be all at once, or broken up into 2 sessions.
I try for 6 days a week, but lately it's been more like 4-5 :(
that lazy thing again........ ;)
4-5 is not really lazy compared to doing no cardio......but either get in there and get the 6 days or else!!!!!
Jesus sav, youve got arms of steel!
When is your comp? and is your training partner entering the comp?
Awesome strength, keep it up.
What's your height, weight and bf? And what are you aiming for by your show?
Comp is at at the end of April.............
and I have no workout partner right now ......:(
I got first dibs on bein anna's training partner damnit!
That's alot of cardio. Have you considered shortening it up and doing HIIT cardio on off days. I know that you have a contest but isn't that overdueing it. I am not nagging or anything I am just wondering. Then again you know you body best. Btw, that is some impressive strength. :thumbup: Keep it up, Anna.Quote:

I post in sav's journal cos shes a nice lass, and works hard at her training. Nice too see that kind of attitude from the opposite sex and not hearing; "will this peice of celery make me fat?" from the majority of the stick insect population.
Keep it up Sav:)
Ooooooooh Gino thinks I'm hot!
I'm throwing a party :dj: Everyone's invited.........
Yesterday was an off day in more ways than one.
Today is cardio and some shoulders and arms.
I seriously am hating myself lately, which pretty much sucks.
How's that for positivity?
whats bothering you anna? why the hating? is it to do with your pysique/or you as a person? Youve always got help here and if you need to talk, there are plenty of people who can help you out.
Although i think that everyone at times has certain issues that hamper us, coming through them is what makes us stronger.
keep ur chin up girl:)

Show Reviews (1)
This show, screened online at CBS.com, is so hilarious. CBS you have to put this on your schedule for midseason.
On CBS.com, they decided to screen the "Da Ali-G Show" and "Borat" Writer/Producer Ant Hines, after the huge huge success of the movie BORAT. In just a few simple words, it is hilarious. It is very much like "The Office"'s Michael Scott taking over Da Ali G Show. It is loaded with laughs and CBS, you have to pick up this show. It is so amazing. I can see myself watching this every week that is is on. This show can really make it. I also have a feeling that a lot of Borat/Ali G fans will tune in and watch Ant Hines's comedic masterpiece. Well done. FOX was so stupid in not picking it up. C'mon CBS, do what NBC did/is doing with (WB rejected) Nobody's Watching.moreless

If you want to make a brush that is "High-Res," you will need Photoshop CS2+. In CS2 and CS3 you can make brushes up to 2500px in size. (height or width) In Previous versions like CS, 1000px is the limit. (and maybe much smaller for really old versions, I'm not sure).
You all probably know that you can make a PS brush out of just about anything, so setting up your file correctly is key. Wether you are using a scanned image, a photograph, or whatever, you need to set up your Photoshop file in a way that will give you the best results for your brush.
It may be temping to have a file open and see something that you want to make a brush out of and do it on-the-fly within that file, but in order to make a brush knowing it is sized right, it's always a good idea to make a separate file to make your brush.
You may not need a high resolution brush, but what if you need the same brush to be larger 6 months down the road? It's always a good idea to make your brush as large as possible in order to use it for other projects later. If you are in CS2 or 3, You can make your file 2500 X 2500px. If you are running a previous version of Photoshop, you will most likely be limited to 999px, if not less.
You can use a color image to define a brush, but you might find it easier to convert your document to Grayscale in order to get a better idea of what to expect. When defining a brush preset, Photoshop will automatically convert your selection to grayscale to make the brush. White pixels will become transparent (which means you don't have to erase the white/background pixels! Keep reading below for details), Black pixels will be opaque, and everything in between will be see-through black/gray.
It's only natural that your image may need a little tweaking before it's brush-worthy. Here are a few adjustments you can make. (all found in the Image > Adjustments menu)
For the longest time I couldn't figure out how people made such detailed brushes, and I kept telling myself that it would take way too much time to clip out the intricate shapes. Well, there's a reason why even the novice Photoshopper can make amazingly detailed brushes. Like I said earlier, since Photoshop defines brushes based on a grayscale, there is no need to erase or clip anything! All you have to do is use the adjustments above (you may want to erase unwanted pixels here ands there) and everything that is 100% white disappears. White=Transparent, so put down that eraser or magic wand, and define your brush.
Once you get the right amount of contrast and black/white in your image, you're ready to make a brush. Make sure you have the correct layer selected and do a "select all." Command/Control + A. Now go to Edit > define Brush Preset.
Name your brush, and you're done!
You should now see your new brush show up in the brushes palette. So? What are you waiting for? Start Brushing!

What sort of country turns a childish folly into a sex offence? Our sort of country
The only good news to emerge from the court case in which a ten and 11-year-old were found guilty of attempted rape is the universal repugnance the case inspired. What sort of country ruins the lives of children by placing them on trial in an adult court for a crime not far removed from a playground game of 'doctors and nurses'?
I am afraid the answer is: our sort of country. In 1998, the Labour government repealed doli incapax, the presumption that under-14s did not know the full difference between right and wrong and were thus unable to judge the consequences of their actions. The reason for the abolition was that prosecutors were finding it difficult to prove that younger children had the cognitive ability to stand trial.
That left England and Wales with one of lowest criminal thresholds in the world – ten years of age. (Scotland is lower, at 8, but children are brought before a special panel.) Canada's age of criminal responsibility is 12, France's 13, Germany, Japan and Russia are 14 and Italy 15.
This country is content t0 see very young children tried in adult courts. Every move to reduced the age of criminal responsibility is howled down, and Dominic Grieve, the Attorney General, is said to oppose any change. Yet the public mood has changed since the trial of James Bulger's killers.
Merciful people everywhere are asking how this case , ruinous to the little girl involved as well as the boys, ever got to court. The former DPP is appalled. Yet the law was only taking its course. England got the criminal justice it ordained, and three children's lives will never be the same again. This case should shame the government into raising the age of criminal responsibility and ensuring less adversarial treatment of children accused of grave crimes.
Those are only ways to prevent such a travesty from happening again.

When you want to stiffen up the boot—say, once you've finished the approach and are ready to put on your crampons and go vertical—twist the dial on the side with either the included tool or a coin and it cams the shank, making the boot 100% rigid for the climb.

text: Michigan Watch If Arizona's bill to discriminate surprises you, you won't believe what's legal in Michigan By Lester Graham • Feb 26, 2014 Wikimedia Commons If the pollsters are right, here's something you probably don't know: It's perfectly legal to discriminate against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people. A Gallup poll reported nearly nine out of ten people think LGBT people are already protected. They are not. Actually, Arizona and Michigan are not that different right now. Detroit's infrastructure crumbling while city has trouble collecting cash By Lester Graham • Feb 24, 2014 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:03 The radio version of this story. The plan to guide Detroit out of bankruptcy includes up to $150 million a year for ten years to repair neglected infrastructure. The city could go a long way in paying for that if it can find a way to collect money already owed to it. The Compuware World Headquarters building at Campus Martius is a gleaming example of a downtown revival. But last week, just down the block, the façade of revival was peeled back for a moment. An old water pipe broke. Detroit Emergency Manager to file plan with bankruptcy court this week By Lester Graham • Feb 17, 2014 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio This week the City of Detroit's Emergency Manager is to file a disclosure statement with the federal court overseeing the city's bankruptcy ahead of the March 1 deadline. The plan of adjustment restructuring Detroit's debt includes a ten year blueprint for the city as part of the 2012 consent agreement with the State of Michigan. The restructuring consultant Conway MacKenzie has been working on that ten year plan. Bill Nowling is the spokesperson for Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. He says that blueprint will be part of the filing this week. How Detroit Manufacturing Systems hired hundreds of workers in the city By Lester Graham • Feb 3, 2014 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:02 Listen to how Detroit Manufacturing Systems has hired hundreds of workers in the city. Detroit's unemployment is high, really high. It's nearly 18%. That's almost double the Michigan rate of unemployment and Michigan is among the worst in the nation. So, when a manufacturer hires hundreds of Detroit residents, it gets attention. Detroiters need jobs and Detroit needs taxpayers By Lester Graham • Jan 30, 2014 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio To successfully emerge from bankruptcy, Detroit has to find ways to cut spending and increase revenue. But that's not going to be easy when so many Detroit residents are struggling just to get by. No matter how well bankruptcy goes for Detroit, the city is going nowhere if most of its residents are broke and without jobs. No jobs mean no income taxes for the city. Part-time Michigan Legislature could mean more power for bureaucrats and lobbyists By Lester Graham • Dec 13, 2013 Aaron Olson You might be asked to sign a petition next year to cut Michigan legislators' pay and make their job part-time. The state constitution will have to be amended to accomplish that. There could be some unintended consequences in doing that. Women making healthier decisions at seafood counter By Lester Graham • Dec 5, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Over the last decade, women have switched to making much healthier choices at the seafood counter. First, let's make it clear: fish is healthful food. But, fish can contain traces of mercury, some fish more than others. And to make sure you don't consume too much of that toxin, you need to know which fish have heavier loads of mercury. Why? Because mercury is a toxic contaminant that can cause neurological damage. For women who could have children or who are pregnant, too much mercury could mean developmental problems for their babies. What will be fueling your car in the future? By Lester Graham • Dec 3, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:00 Listen to the Environment Report. Hydrogen fuel cells, compressed natural gas, all-electric… what kind of cars are we going to be driving in a few years? The LA Auto Show wrapped up… and the next big show is the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall in Detroit in January. There, of course, is a lot of well-orchestrated hype at these big auto shows. If you're looking for a clear direction on what we'll be driving in the future, it's still a mixed bag. But, new advances are dominated by efficiency improvements in the internal combustion engine. Unequal by law: Being gay in Michigan By Lester Graham • Nov 20, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio The documentary looks at religious views, transgender struggles, discriminatory laws, and anti gay-rights groups' concerns. You can listen to the full documentary below: Cities adapting to changing climate, but more changes coming By Lester Graham • Nov 7, 2013 courtesy: USEPA It used to be environmentalists did not want to talk about adapting to climate change. They were concerned adapting to the changes meant dodging the big job of reducing greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change. That thinking is changing. Michigan could get 30% of its energy from renewable sources By Lester Graham • Nov 7, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio The Michigan Public Service Commission has submitted a report on renewable energy to Governor Snyder. That report indicates renewable energy is getting cheaper and more varied, ranging from wind and solar to biomass and ground source heat pumps. But the surprising point in the report was this statement: "...it is theoretically technically feasible for Michigan to meet increased Renewable Portfolio Standards of as much as 30% from resources located in the state." Michigan challenge to EPA greenhouse regulations to be heard by U.S. Supreme Court By Lester Graham • Nov 5, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:01 Listen to The Environment Report. The EPA says greenhouse gases are pollution. The Supreme Court has agreed. But Michigan sued the EPA saying you can't regulate that pollution from smokestack industries because it would hurt the economy. The Supreme Court has already ruled the EPA has the authority to regulate the carbon emissions that contribute to climate change. The agency found CO2 emissions from fossil fuels endanger the public health and the environment. That was regarding a case involving cars and trucks. But whether that pollution comes from a tailpipe or a smokestack, it's the same pollution. Meet the couple challenging Michigan's gay marriage ban By Lester Graham • Oct 18, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 3:35 Hear from April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, the couple challenging Michigan's gay marriage ban. April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse wanted to jointly adopt their children. In the years that they've lived together, Rowse has adopted two children, and DeBoer adopted one, splitting the responsibilities of parenthood together. But a state ban on same-sex joint adoptions prohibited them from officially adopting their children together. So in January 2012, DeBoer and Rowse filed a lawsuit against the state, arguing that preventing such adoptions violated rights of their children. But U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman told the couple to take their complaint further — challenge the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage. Being transgender in Michigan By Lester Graham • Oct 15, 2013 user: sylvar / Flickr Part of the LGBT community is confusing to a lot of straight people and, really, some gay and lesbian people. The "T" in LGBT. Transgender people. This piece includes the stories of two transgender women. Because their gender can cause confusion, Renee Knipe and Joanna Smith have struggled with things many people don't think about. Knipe has been barred from using women's restrooms. Joanna Smith, who was once John Smith, is a father. Moms fighting for joint adoption in Michigan end up challenging gay marriage ban By Lester Graham • Oct 9, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Nolan, Ryanne, and Jacob were excited about showing me their toys when I visited the home of Jayne Rowse and April DeBoer. These three little kids have no idea that their moms are in the middle of one of the most closely watched federal court cases in Michigan. Rowse, who is the legal parent of Nolan and Jacob, and DeBoer, who is Ryanne's legal parent, have been raising the kids together -- jointly sharing their lives and responsibilities. The two nurses wanted to jointly adopt their kids to better protect their futures. Snyder administration to cut program that has saved hundreds of millions in prison costs By Lester Graham • Sep 9, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 3:40 The State of Michigan spends a huge part of its budget on prisons. In recent years a new program has helped reduce the prison population and helped prisoners stay out of prison. Despite its success, the state plans to cut much of the program's funding. Some people who've been in and out of prison are getting out and staying out thanks to a program called Michigan Prisoner Reentry Initiative or MPRI. "After 33 years of doing time, they finally got it right. And today I've got a life. I own my own business. I'm living the American dream and it started at MPRI," Harry Hampton said. Hampton has been in prison four times. When he's been released before, he got no help. No-smoking rules loosened for restaurant and bar outdoor areas By Lester Graham • Aug 19, 2013 courtesy: restaurant.com The state of Michigan is loosening the no-smoking rules at some restaurants and bars. Smoking outdoors will be allowed under certain circumstances. Ever since Embers Bar and Grill in Tecumseh added an outdoor patio earlier this year, patrons who smoke have asked if they can light up. General Manager Sam VanSickle has always had to explain they cannot allow it. "'Cause it's the law. Wherever we're licensed to sell food or alcohol, we're not allowed to allow smoking." Hundreds of millions of dollars in legal fees still pocket change in Detroit bankruptcy By Lester Graham • Aug 16, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Detroit's bankruptcy proceedings involve massive amounts of money. A lot of creditors and possibly city retirees are likely to lose a lot of money. But, there are some people who are going to make a lot of money because of this bankruptcy. Filing bankruptcy, restructuring debt, reorganizing Detroit's operations are all incredibly complicated and incredibly expensive. The Detroit Free Press suggested legal fees could top $100 million. Detroit bankruptcy just the tip of the iceberg By Lester Graham • Aug 12, 2013 The Heritage Foundation A Washington think tank is warning Congress that Detroit is just the first major example of financial troubles facing the nation. Detroit just among the first facing troubles funding retiree costs By Lester Graham • Jul 30, 2013 Sam Beebe / Ecotrust Detroit's bankruptcy is getting the headlines right now, but many governments in Michigan could be facing similar financial troubles in the future. Detroit might be just the first of many financial catastrophes in the state. Detroit's debt is supposed to be as much as $20 billion. About half of that is blamed on underfunded pensions and benefits for Detroit city retirees. Schauer says Tough Nerd not tough with Legislature By Lester Graham • Jul 13, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio A Democratic candidate for governor says Rick Snyder is not being tough enough with the Legislature. At a fundraiser in Ypsilanti yesterday [Saturday], Mark Schauer said Governor Snyder needs to push the Legislature to pass Medicaid expansion. The election for Michigan governor is nearly a year-and-a-half away, but Democrat Mark Schauer is campaigning and criticizing Governor Snyder. He says he'd do more to get the state Senate to vote on Medicaid expansion. Canadian diplomat says New International Trade Crossing 'is going ahead' By Lester Graham • Jun 13, 2013 http://buildthedricnow.com/ A Canadian official says construction of a new bridge between Windsor and Detroit can start soon, maybe 2015. It's just a matter of waiting for some money from the U.S. government. While Canada is putting up the money for the bridge, the U.S. has to build a new customs plaza which is expected to cost about 250-million dollars. Until then, the Canadian government will continue to negotiate land purchases in and around the Delray neighborhood of Detroit where the New International Trade Crossing will land in the U.S. How adoption agencies discriminate against hopeful LGBT parents By Lester Graham • Jun 12, 2013 user stevendamrun / Flickr Listen Listening... / 3:17 Listen to the story. If you're gay or lesbian and you want to adopt a child, not every adoption agency in Michigan will be willing to help. If you do find an agency that will help, you might run into more discrimination. Even if you have a home, pass the background checks, and otherwise meet the state requirements for adoption, you can be turned down by an adoption agency if you don't meet its standards. How judges were stopped from granting two-parent adoptions to gay and lesbian parents By Lester Graham • Jun 11, 2013 user Samahiaka18 / wikimedia commons Listen Listening... / 4:09 Listen to the story. About a decade ago, judges stopped approving adoptions for lesbian and gay couples. It stopped after a controversial move by a Supreme Court Judge. Nancy Wheeler is a judge in Washtenaw County who used to preside over the juvenile court where adoptions are recognized. She granted dozens of what are called 'second-parent adoptions' to same-sex couples. "I thought that it was an outrage that we encouraged and, in fact, had a lot of gay and lesbian foster parents, but didn't allow both parties to adopt the children. So, these children had been in foster care with these same parents sometimes for a number of years and then they were adopted by one," Judge Wheeler explained. She reasoned if one person could be an adoptive parent, then two could. For gay and lesbian families in Michigan, one parent is left out By Lester Graham • Jun 10, 2013 Love-Ramirez family Listen Listening... / 3:55 Hear the story. In Michigan, if you're gay or lesbian, you can't get married. And for LGBT partners who adopt children it's nearly impossible for both to have parental rights. That causes legal difficulties in providing a secure future for the kids they're raising. Two-year-old Lucas has two dads, Kent and Diego Love-Ramirez. Diego is an airline pilot, and Kent works at Michigan State University. "We've been together just over ten years. And we married in a religious ceremony five years ago and just legally married in Washington, D.C.," said Kent. Kent and Diego are the only parents Lucas has ever known. But, the State of Michigan does not recognize one of them as a parent. Craft cocktail movement helping Michigan distilleries By Lester Graham • May 20, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:03 My Michigan Martini (recipe by Lester Graham) 5 parts Knickerbocker gin 1 part Vya Extra Dry vermouth 1 dash Fee Brothers orange bitters Add several ice cubes to bartender's mixing glass. Add dash of bitters followed by vermouth and gin. Stir 20 - 30 times (do NOT shake). Strain into martini glass. Add twist of orange (or try a twist of lemon). If you think about states known for distilled spirits such as bourbon and whiskey, you might think about Kentucky or Tennessee. But Michigan is becoming home to its own distilleries. That's being driven in part by a growing interest in craft cocktails. The first thing you're likely to notice in these craft cocktail bars is all the fruit and jars of fresh herbs such as mint and rosemary. You're not going to find premixed bottles of corn-syrup-laden sweet and sour here. It's all about real aromas and flavors. Right now, there are several craft cocktail bars mostly in southeast Michigan (see some favorites at the end of this story). One of them is The Last Word where we talked with manager Robben Schulz. He says they're always looking for new spirits to give their drinks some depth, some interest. Some of them are being made here in Michigan. Local officials work to create non-discrimination region for LGBT people By Lester Graham • May 8, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Three townships in the Lansing region will be considering proposals to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender expression. In a coordinated effort, Delhi, Meridian, and Delta township officials could vote on protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from employment, housing, and public accommodation discrimination with the next several weeks. Legislator: Gay civil rights would 'bully Christians' By Lester Graham • May 1, 2013 user ep_jhu / Flickr Listen Listening... / 7:09 Public polling and recent court cases have prompted greater discussion about adding protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people in Michigan's civil rights law. Advocates for the change say it's time to stop legally discriminating against LGBT people. Others say changing the law say it would mean people opposed to homosexual behavior would be discriminated against. The issue is beginning to play out in the Michigan legislature. Michigan's civil rights law is known as the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act. It prohibits discrimination based on religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, family status, and marital status. Advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and opponents of gay rights have one thing in common: both sides say discrimination should not be allowed. Where they go from there is very different. LGBT advocates say sexual orientation and gender expression should be included in the Elliot-Larsen protections. Anti-gay rights advocates say there's no need for creating special classes of people to be protected. Few protections for LGBT in housing discrimination By Lester Graham • Apr 30, 2013 courtesy U.S. Housing and Urban Develompment / HUD Listen Listening... / 7:02 Some Michigan residents are turned away for housing even if they can afford the rent for an apartment or the mortgage for a home. In many cases, landlords and bankers can legally discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. This discrimination happens even in communities with laws protecting LGBT people. Michigan has no state law protecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people from being discriminated against when it comes to housing. Anti-gay rights advocates say no law is necessary because there are no documented cases of discrimination against LGBT people. But, in a widely cited report, Michigan's Fair Housing Centers found there is discrimination by landlords, real estate agents, banks and others involved in housing even in cities where laws prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation. Religious liberties for some, but not for LGBT marriage in Michigan (Part 3) By Lester Graham • Mar 27, 2013 user Marlith / Flickr Listen Listening... / 3:55 Some Michigan legislators have pushed bills calling for religious liberties to be honored through law. But one person's religious liberty might be another person's religious suppression. Much of the debate about same-sex marriage is centered in people's religious beliefs. The religion with the most followers in Michigan is the Catholic Church. It opposes same-sex marriage. "Marriage from the Catholic perspective is between one man and one woman because that promotes the creation, the procreation of life," explained Thomas Hickson, Vice President of Public Policy and Advocacy for the Michigan Catholic Conference. It should be noted that a survey of Michigan voters last year found the majority of people who identified themselves as Catholic approved of same-sex civil unions or marriage. But that's not the Church's official position. Recently the Catholic Conference announced its advocacy priorities for the current legislative session. Among the religious liberties it intends to defend is a 2004 amendment to the Michigan Constitution. That amendment defines marriage as between one woman and one man. It also bans recognition of similar unions- in other words Michigan cannot grant any of the rights or privileges of marriage to same-sex couples. No adoption rights. No survivor's benefits. No health insurance for public employees. But, some other religious organizations view same-sex marriage differently and feel gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people should be treated equally under the law.

How A Greenland Asteroid Crater Could Become The Next Big Nickel Region
It's not every day that you get to explore for nickel in a crater formed by an ancient meteor strike, but that's exactly what North American Nickel (TSXV:NAN,OTCBB:WSCRF) is doing at its Maniitsoq project in Greenland.
In June 2012, researchers from the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) announced that the area, about 160 kilometers north of Nuuk, the territory's capital, is the site of Earth's oldest — and biggest — meteor impact. The meteor, which may have had a diameter of more than 30 kilometers, smashed into the region some 3 billion years ago, tearing open a crater some 100 kilometers wide, according to the GEUS' findings. Since then, the land has eroded to about 25 kilometers below the original surface, leaving little sign of the crater today. The property's intriguing history isn't the only thing that sets it apart from other nickel deposits, however. It also encompasses a massive area: North American Nickel holds exploration licences covering 4,983 square kilometers at Maniitsoq. Geology differs from Sudbury "We are really thinking on a regional scale here," said CEO and Chairman Rick Mark in a February 5 phone interview. Talk of meteor impacts immediately conjures Canada's Sudbury Basin, the site of a meteor strike that resulted in one of the world's most prolific nickel-producing regions. Maniitsoq covers a larger area than the Sudbury Basin and the geology is in fact quite different. "When people hear the words norite and impact, they immediately think of Sudbury," said John Pattison, North American's chief geologist, also in a February 5 phone interview. "At Sudbury, the impact crater is preserved and most of the nickel deposits occur near the base of the crater because that's where they ended up when the impact melted the crustal rocks."
