In the first phase of his long career, Pierre Bonnard associated with a group of artists called the Nabis, named for the Hebrew word for "prophet." Influenced greatly by the works of their immediate predecessor Paul Gauguin, this group, which included Édouard Vuillard and Maurice Denis, among others, intended to strip art down to its essentials of color, surface and form. Like Gauguin, these artists were interested in searching for spiritual inspiration, and Bonnard's use of the triptych—a format that traditionally housed Christian imagery—is perhaps a step toward this aim. In lieu of religious content, Bonnard's painting is instead filled with the hustle and bustle of a fin-de-siècle Parisian street. Although his quick brushwork and patchy delineations of horses, carriages and fashionable ladies and gentleman suggest the rapid movement of modern life, the painting encourages contemplation and even revelation long associated with the tripartite format.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 met instant success when it released just before Veteran's Day this year, selling 4.7 million units the first day. While millions rushed to play a game based on military combat, roughly 70,000 young Americans chose to join the Army last year. Another game not quite as popular, America's Army, was developed by the U.S. military to aid in recruitment and in order to play, you have to register your information through the Army's recruitment website. According to The Washington Examiner, it appears to be working.
The article cites a 2008 MIT study that found "30 percent of all Americans age 16 to 24 had a more positive impression of the Army because of the game and, even more amazingly, the game had more impact on recruits than all other forms of Army advertising combined."
An Air Force colonel cited in the Examiner article said young recruits who are avid gamers with minimal training and experience are "naturals to the fast-moving, multitasking nature of modern warfare." It seems war-based video games have inadvertently helped train people to become better warriors, so it makes sense to use video games to build interest in the Army. What do you think? Is recruiting for the military through video games the right way to go? - Source
There has been too little serious public policy debate concerning how best to reduce exposure of children and youth to media violence. Many of the debates that have occurred in Congress, the popular press, and conferences have often focused on whether there is sufficient scientific evidence of harmful effects to support public policy actions. Some debates have conflated other public policy issues with the basic scientific question of whether there are significant harmful effects. Some U.S. First Amendment proponents who are vociferous critics of media violence research do not seem to understand that the scientific question (Are there harmful effects?) is different from the legal question (Are proposed policies legal under the U.S. Constitution?).
As the medical, public health, and psychological scientific communities have repeatedly stated, the scientific debate about whether there are harmful effects of media violence is over. We believe that it is time to move on to the more difficult public policy questions concerning whether modern societies should take action to reduce the high rates of exposure of children and youth to media violence, and if so, what public policies would likely be the most effective. - source

This study examines how the mass media's portrayal of the military, including the war in Iraq, affects U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps recruiting. A telephone survey of households in Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas was conducted to measure parents and young adults' exposure to information about the military in various media sources and how much attention they paid to those sources of information for information about the military. This study was hampered by a small sample size (N=119) that limits the ability to claim significant findings for several hypotheses. However, the study did uncover a pattern that indicated that greater use of newspapers and entertainment television reduced chances of young adults joining the military, whereas use of movies depicting the military enhanced the likelihood of joining. Also, media use predicted people's attitudes about the continued U.S. military presence in Iraq.

Adolescents spend a significant part of their leisure time watching TV programs and movies that portray violence. It is unknown, however, how the extent of violent media use and the severity of aggression displayed affect adolescents brain function. We investigated skin conductance responses, brain activation and functional brain connectivity to media violence in healthy adolescents. In an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment, subjects repeatedly viewed normed videos that displayed different degrees of aggressive behavior. We found a downward linear adaptation in skin conductance responses with increasing aggression and desensitization towards more aggressive videos. Our results further revealed adaptation in a fronto-parietal network including the left lateral orbitofrontal cortex (lOFC), right precuneus and bilateral inferior parietal lobules, again showing downward linear adaptations and desensitization towards more aggressive videos. Granger causality mapping analyses revealed attenuation in the left lOFC, indicating that activation during viewing aggressive media is driven by input from parietal regions that decreased over time, for more aggressive videos. We conclude that aggressive media activates an emotion –attention network that has the capability to blunt emotional responses through reduced attention with repeated viewing of aggressive media contents, which may restrict the linking of the consequences of aggression with an emotional response, and therefore potentially promotes aggressive attitudes and behavior.
Summary—Research on violent television and films, video games, and music reveals unequivocal evidence that media violence increases the likelihood of aggressive and violent behavior in both immediate and long-term contexts. The effects appear larger for milder than for more severe forms of aggression, but the effects on severe forms of violence are also substantial when compared with effects of other violence risk factors or medical effects deemed important by the medical community (e.g., effect of aspirin on heart attacks). The research base is large; diverse in methods, samples, and media genres; and consistent in overall findings. The evidence is clearest within the most extensively researched domain, television and film violence. The growing body of video-game research yields essentially the same conclusions.

Controlling Indoor Mold
Topic Overview
Indoor mold (fungus) is very common in humid areas and in homes that have damp areas such as basements. Mold may trigger asthma symptoms, such as wheezing or coughing, or another allergic reaction, such as the rash of atopic dermatitis or stuffy nose of allergic rhinitis. Substances that trigger these reactions are called allergens.
Although there is no strong evidence that reducing damp areas in homes or limiting exposure to them helps decrease allergy and asthma symptoms, taking the following steps may be helpful.
- Store fireplace wood outside the home.
- Clean bathtubs, shower stalls, shower curtains, and windowsills at least once a month with a disinfectant or liquid bleach. Use bleach with caution, because it may irritate your nose. If your nose is irritated, your allergy symptoms may get worse.
- Keep the house aired out and dry. This may be difficult in some seasons and some climates.
- Use an exhaust fan in bathrooms and the kitchen to vent excess moisture.
- Use a dehumidifier during humid weather. Try to keep the humidity in the home below 50%. Molds thrive in higher humidity.
- Seal off or avoid damp areas, such as crawl spaces, attics, or basements. Use a dehumidifier to control mold growth in these areas. Try to avoid materials that have been stored in these areas.
- Remove carpeting from any concrete floors, especially in the basement.
- Repair any water-damaged areas from leaking roofs or basements. Also, check the areas under sinks and around other plumbing for leaks. These areas can be prime mold-growing areas.
- Make sure your clothes dryer vents moist air to the outside.
- Inspect closets for items, such as shoes, that may retain moisture.
Adults spend one-third of their time and children spend half of their time in their bedrooms, so it is important that you take steps to prevent allergens in this room.

Hannah Abbott
this wiki
- Hannah: "And you definitely think Potter's the Heir of Slytherin?"
- Ernie Macmillan: "Hannah, he's a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that's the mark of a dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent one who can talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself "Serpent Tongue"."
- Hannah: "Harry always seemed so nice, though. And after all, he is the one who made You-Know-Who disappear..."
- — Hannah and Ernie Macmillan in 1992.[src]
Hannah Longbottom (née Abbott) was a half-blood witch who was in the same year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as Harry Potter. She was sorted into Hufflepuff House in 1991. She later became both a prefect and a member of Dumbledore's Army. In 1996, Hannah was pulled out of school after her mother was murdered by Lord Voldemort, but she returned the following year, was again a member of the D.A. and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. Later in life, Hannah married Neville Longbottom and became landlady of the Leaky Cauldron, which the couple lived above.
Education at Hogwarts
First year
- Professor McGonagall: "When I call your name, you will come up, sit on the stool, and wait for your name to be called. First up, Abbott, Hannah."
- Sorting Hat: "HUFFLEPUFF!"
- — Hannah Abbott is sorted.
Hannah Abbott was born into a family with wizarding ancestors and was a half-blood. Hannah began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on September 1st, 1991, along with the famous Harry Potter. Since Hannah's surname, Abbott, was the first alphabetically, she was the first new student of those to arrive at Hogwarts to be sorted into her house during the Welcoming Feast, being placed into Hufflepuff, along with other new students Ernie Macmillan, Susan Bones, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Zacharias Smith.[2] She shared a dormitory with Megan Jones, Leanne, Susan Bones and another girl.
Second year
- Ernie: "Hannah, he's a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that's the mark of a Dark Wizard, have you ever heard of a decent one who could talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself, Serpent-tongue."
- Hannah: "Harry always seemed so nice though, and after all he is the one who made You-Know-Who disappear."
- Ernie: "That's probably why You-Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place!"
- — Ernie sharing his view of Harry Potter with Hannah[src]
Third year
In her third year, when news got out that Sirius Black (who was classmate Harry Potter's godfather, a fact then unknown to anyone in their year) had escaped from Azkaban, Hannah held the belief that Black could transform himself into a flowering shrub to avoid detection, and would tell this theory to anyone who would listen. She ended up making a spectacle of herself and earned herself some sceptical looks. Even though her theory of transforming into a shrub was incorrect, Sirius Black did in fact use a transformation to avoid detection and escape Azkaban; however, his transformation was into the form of a dog. Hannah's belief that Sirius could transform into a flowering shrub was likely to have originated from her (Stephen Ofori and Ferb are epic) liking of Herbology and the influence of Professor of Herbology, Pomona Sprout, who was her Head of House. [3]
Fourth year
- "Hey listen, about the badges, I've asked them not to wear them."
- —Cedric Diggory to Harry regarding Hufflepuffs wearing "POTTER STINKS" badges[src]
During Hannah's fourth year, Hogwarts hosted the Triwizard Tournament. Fellow Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory was one of the Triwizard finalists, and Hannah fully supported him during the tournament's tasks. She also was often seen hanging around with Cedric; despite their age difference, the two seemed to be good friends. Hannah was amongst the many Hufflepuffs who were put out when Harry appeared to be usurping Cedric's rightful place, by becoming the second Hogwarts champion during the Triwizard Tournament, and she showed support only for her fellow Hufflepuff
This was because Hufflepuff never received much attention, and she, along with many others, felt Harry was taking the glory away from Diggory. To show her support, she wore a Support CEDRIC DIGGORY - the REAL Hogwarts Champion! badge that was able to change to read POTTER STINKS. Later in this same year Cedric Diggory was murdered by Lord Voldemort, and Harry won the Triwizard Tournament, but this did not matter to Hannah, as Cedric's death made the winner rather irrelevant. Hannah now was presumably amongst the students that believed Harry Potter's claims that Lord Voldemort had indeed returned, and that the Second Wizarding War had really broken out.
Also this year, new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Alastor Moody would teach the fourth years the Unforgivable Curses, one of which was the Cruciatus Curse. He demonstrated this in front of Neville Longbottom, and both Hannah and Hermione Granger expressed discomfort and concern whilst witnessing Neville's evident mental anguish. Again, as in her second year, Hannah spent a lot of her free time revising in the Great Hall with Ernie Macmillan, presumably studying for her O.W.L.s which were coming up the following year.[4]
Fifth year
- Hannah: "I - I need to think. To remember! Oh, I'm never going to finish my revision!"
- Hermione: "Well, we can help you with one subject - we're having our first Defence Against the Dark Arts meeting."
- Hannah: "M-meeting? But Umbridge has banned clubs. She'll see us going there! I'll fail my O.W.L.s! I'll be expelled! We'll all be expelled!"
- — Hannah and Hermione in their fifth year[src]
In 1995, Hannah was made a Prefect for Hufflepuff House, along with Ernie Macmillan. Shortly after the beginning of term, it became apparent that Dolores Umbridge was not going to be teaching practical means of Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Hannah decided to join Dumbledore's Army, a secret Defence Against the Dark Arts group started by Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. She was also one of the minority who believed that Lord Voldemort was back, likely due to the fact that Cedric Diggory, a student of her house. was claimed by Harry Potter to have been murdered by the Dark Lord in the previous year.[5]However, prior to the first meeting of the D.A., she was worried about getting caught by Umbridge and getting into trouble. Harry found a secret passage from the Dungeons leading to the Seventh Floor that allowed Hannah to get the Room of Requirement unseen.[6]
The pressure of studying for her O.W.L.s had definitely got to Hannah, and she broke down crying excessively during a Herbology class, after claiming to be too stupid to take her exams. She was then taken to the Hospital Wing, where Madam Pomfrey treated her with a Calming Draught. Despite being treated, Hannah still managed to let pressure get the better of her and during her Transfiguration practical exam: she accidentally multiplied a ferret into a flock of flamingos.[5] Hannah made it through the rest of her exams, and, approaching the end of the year, Hannah was one of the D.A. members who aided Harry when he was attacked by Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, and Vincent Crabbe at the end of their fifth year, proving her loyalty and friendship still to Dumbledore's Army, even after its initial purpose had been rendered redundant.[5]
Sixth year
Hannah returned to her sixth year at Hogwarts in 1996. Early on during her sixth year, Hannah was told during a Herbology lesson that her mother, Mrs. Abbott, had been killed earlier in the day, presumably by Death Eaters. As a result of this, Hannah was subsequently pulled out of Hogwarts and did not return for the rest of the year. She was not in school at Hogwarts at the time of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's demise at the hands of Severus Snape.[7] It is possible, as a result of missing most of her sixth year, Hannah would be required to retake the year's courses.
Seventh year
- "We're his Army, Dumbledore's Army. We were all in it together, we've been keeping it going."
- —Neville to Harry, Ron and Hermione upon their return to Hogwarts.[src]
Hannah was compelled to return to Hogwarts in 1997, as Lord Voldemort had taken over the Ministry of Magic and attendance at Hogwarts had become mandatory for all Pure or Half-blood students; Muggle-borns had to go before a Muggle-Born Registration Commission prior to being admitted to Hogwarts. It is more than likely, as Hannah had missed her previous year of education, she would be made to resit the year, making her technically a sixth year student once again. Whilst back at Hogwarts, Hannah became a member of the revived Dumbledore's Army, now operating under the leadership of Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, and Ginny Weasley in the absence of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. United once again, Dumbledore's Army continued to train students in battle and defence, and the group ran riot around Hogwarts, making life for new Headmaster Severus Snape and Death Eaters Amycus Carrow and Alecto Carrow difficult. Hannah and Neville are likely to have gotten closer in 1997.
Battle of Hogwarts
- "Harry cast more Shield Charms, and Voldemort's would-be victims, Seamus Finnigan and Hannah Abbott, darted past him into the Great Hall where they joined the fight already flourishing inside it."
- —Hannah escapes death in the battle.[src]
When Harry Potter returned to Hogwarts in 1998, Hannah stayed at the school and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, battling against Death Eaters and Voldemort at the end of the school year. Initially, she was part of the group of students led by Fred and George Weasley who were charged with defending the secret passages into Hogwarts from invading Death Eaters. Later on, in what is known as the second stage of the battle, fighting resumed and Harry saved her and Seamus Finnigan with a Shield Charm when Lord Voldemort sent a curse their way. Hannah stood witness to the final demise of Voldemort and survived the battle.[8]
Later life
Having missed a year in education it is likely that, like Hermione Granger, Hannah would resit the same year and they would graduate together in 1999. Sometime later, after surviving the Second Wizarding War, Hannah married her former classmate and leader of the student rebellion, Neville Longbottom. She became the landlady at the Leaky Cauldron, replacing Tom, and the couple lived together above the pub. Neville's students considered the fact they lived above the pub "cool". [9] It is unknown if they had any children.
Physical description
Hannah is described as a pink-faced girl with blonde hair. In her younger years, she usually wore her hair in pigtails.[2]
Personality and traits
Hannah appeared to have a naive streak, since she was easily convinced by Ernie that Harry might be the Heir of Slytherin despite having always considered him to be nice.[10] She also believed that Sirius Black could turn into a flowering shrub (although, given that he was, in fact, an Animagus, the belief wasn't too far from the truth).[3]
Hannah was easily flustered, and appeared to lack self-confidence, as was evidenced by her breakdown in Herbology and her claims of being stupid. It seemed that, when under pressure, she was prone to making mistakes.[5] Despite this, Hannah was a loyal friend, and showed her bravery firstly by joining Dumbledore's Army[5], and then fighting in the defence of Hogwarts.[8]
Magical abilities and skills
- Defence Against the Dark Arts: Hannah joined Dumbledore's Army in her fifth year and learned some defensive spells. She took N.E.W.T.-classes and survived the Battle of Hogwarts.
- Herbologist: Hannah was apparently a skilled Herbologist, as was her husband, Neville, given the fact she attended N.E.W.T. Herbology classes.
Ernie Macmillan
Hannah and Ernie Macmillan were close friends during their time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, both having been sorted into the house of Hufflepuff during their first year. During their second year they both discussed the possibility of Harry being the Heir of Slytherin after the Chamber of Secrets had been declared open, Hannah had her doubts, as she thought Harry was nice, but Ernie was easily able to sway her opinion.[10]
Both Hannah and Ernie shared the hobby of collecting Chocolate Frog Cards[4]. They also both supported Cedric Diggory as the School Champion during the Triwizard Tournament, as many Hufflepuffs, and even Ravenclaws did, and both shared a certain iiration with Harry Potter, the other champion.[4] In 1995, they both became the Hufflepuff Prefects and joined Dumbledore's Army. Unlike Hannah, Ernie was able to keep his cool during his O.W.L's.[5]
Neville Longbottom
Although it appeared that Hannah and Neville Longbottom were rarely ever together during their school days, their friendship probably evolved from their time in Dumbledore's Army together, and during the student rebellion during their seventh year, as well as just being in the same year and sharing classes for so long - particularly Herbology, Neville's best subject, which the Gryffindors shared with the Hufflepuffs. It is possible that Hannah and Neville both found comfort in each other during their seventh year, since in the previous year Hannah's mother had been killed by Death Eaters, and Neville would understand how she would be feeling as Death Eaters tortured his parents into insanity. Hannah joined Dumbledore's Army under the leadership of Neville, and in the absence of Harry, and proved her loyalty to him throughout the Battle of Hogwarts.
Following the Second Wizarding War, Hannah and Neville became closer and eventually married. Neville became the new Professor of Herbology at Hogwarts, taking over from Professor Sprout, whilst Hannah became the new landlady of the Leaky Cauldron taking over from Tom. The couple lived together above the pub, a fact that Neville's students thought was "cool".[9]
- "Hannah" is from the Hebrew name חַנָּה (Channah) which meant "favour" or "grace". Hannah was the mother of the prophet Samuel in the Old Testament. As an English name, Hannah was not regularly used until after the Protestant Reformation.[11]
- "Abbott" is a Middle English surname.[12]An abbott was the church position after the pope, archbishops and bishops in the Church hierarchy in the Middle Ages. The ancestors of people with the surname Abbott probably were abbotts or abbesses in medieval times (900-1300)
Behind the scenes
- Hannah Abbott was portrayed by Charlotte Skeoch in the film adaptations of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as well as voicing the character for the game Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
- She is one of the Original Forty students listed by J. K. Rowling along with Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley.
- From early production notes viewed in the television special, Harry Potter and Me, Hannah was supposed to be a Muggle-born witch. However, J. K. Rowling stated in an interview that she always considered Hannah to be a pure-blood. To compromise, she was officially made a half-blood.[1]
- During the O.W.L.s in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hannah Abbott was doing her Transfiguration practical at the same time as Harry Potter. This is odd as the examinations are done by surname, meaning that Hannah should have finished a while ago. One possible explanation is that the lists for that examination were mistakenly compiled by first name.
- Harry Potter and Hermione Granger saw the grave of someone named "Abbott" when they visited Godric's Hollow in 1997. This may have been the grave of a relative of Hannah's, perhaps indicating that her family, like the Potters, comes from Godric's Hollow.
- Hannah is the only Hufflepuff in Harry's year to appear in all seven books.
- In the credits of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, she is mistakenly listed as "Hannah Hufflepuff".[13]
- In the sorting scene in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione Granger gets called up first instead of Hannah Abbott.
- An Alice Abbott was accused of witchcraft during the Northhamptonshire witch trials of 1612.
- On Pottermore, the link that leads to her page is misspelled Hannah 'Abbot'.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Witnesses to a November fatal shooting outside a Southside convenience store and one person in the SUV fired at can be heard in 911 calls released Monday by the state attorney's office.
Prosecutors are expecting to use the calls in their case against Michael Dunn, who is accused of firing into an SUV full of teenagers at a Gate gas station, killing 17-year-old Jordan Davis (pictured, below).
AUDIO: 911 calls in Jordan Davis case
IMAGES: Crime scene, evidence photos
"How many shots did you hear?" a 911 operator asked.
"Oh, shhhh. It was like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. More than six, then it stopped for a second," the caller said.
One caller said he had no idea who was behind the shooting.
"Please can you bring help," he said.
Police arrested 45-year-old Dunn the next day on a charge of first-degree murder. Dunn claimed to officers he was defending himself and his attorney says it may be a stand-your-ground case.
Court records obtained by Channel 4 show that Jacksonville Sheriff's Office investigators found five 9mm casings at the parking lot, which prosecutors say came from Dunn's gun. When Dunn was arrested at his Brevard County home, police reported finding a 9mm semiautomatic handgun loaded with five bullets. A search of Dunn's car turned up another 9mm bullet casing.
According to the list provided to prosecutors, also in Dunn's car were eight live rounds in a magazine, a silencer and nun chucks.
Dunn's attorney, Corry Strolla, said the nun chucks and silencer were just novelty items -- collectibles of sort -- and they were not used in the killing at all.
Investigators also went through the SUV that Davis was in when he was shot. Items found included keys, jewelry, change and a pocket knife.
Dunn's attorney says his client saw someone in the SUV pull out what looked to be a shotgun and point it his way -- prompting him to fire in self-defense. According to the evidence list, no firearm was in the vehicle that Dunn fired into.

The Pitt Community College softball program will make its third national championship appearance next month, after winning the Region X Conference/District I Tournament in Aiken, S.C.
The Bulldogs broke a 3-3 tie with Spartanburg Methodist College in the top of the seventh, when sophomore shortstop Cassie Harrell reached first on an infield single to the shortstop with the bases loaded and one out. Brooke Bell beat the throw home on the play to make it 4-3 Bulldogs.
Freshman pitcher Jaimee Radel worked a 1-2-3 seventh to close out the victory for PCC, which will make its third national championship appearance under head coach Junior Bailey next month in St. George, Utah. The first round of the national junior college tourney gets underway May 15.

The scope of the National Security Agency's digital surveillance raises doubts about the U.S. commitment to freedom of expression online. By Joel Simon
Dear President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud: We are writing to express our concern about a Somali journalist who has been imprisoned since January 10 for interviewing a woman who claimed she was raped by government soldiers. We are also concerned by recent statements you made in Washington indicating your administration will not tolerate negative coverage by the local press. We urge you to ensure the journalist is released immediately and to follow up on your commitment to create a task force to investigate Somalia's unsolved journalist murders.

Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt is in China this week to meet with top leaders, according to international news reports. CPJ's Advocacy and Communications Associate Magnus Ag and Senior Asia Program Researcher Madeline Earp co-wrote an op-ed calling on Thorning--as she is called in the Danish press--to raise the issue of press freedom. An edited version ran in the Danish newspaper Politiken today.
Speaking truthfully to China on its repression of human rights can be a tricky endeavor in diplomatic affairs, but Helle Thorning-Schmidt has a prime opportunity to raise press freedom on her trip to China. Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not give the issue public priority during their visits earlier this month, but as Thorning meets with top Communist Party leaders and addresses a World Economic Forum meeting in Tianjin, the opportunity must not be wasted.
New York, September 4, 2012--U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should press Chinese officials in meetings this week to allow international journalists based in China greater access to news events and fewer restrictions of their coverage, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
When U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meets this week with Burmese President Thein Sein, opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and senior ranking members of the military establishment, she conspicuously will not have the opportunity to meet with journalist Sithu Zeya.
Sithu was detained by police after recording the impact of a bomb that exploded in a crowded Burmese marketplace in April 2010. The journalist was sentenced to 17 years in prison on charges related specifically to his reporting activities, with an additional 10 years tacked on this year -- soon after Thein Sein announced his intention to increase media freedom in Burma.
New York, April 7, 2011--With China in the midst of a sweeping crackdown on public dissent, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should follow the example of Britain and Germany and call for the immediate release of detained artist and social critic Ai Weiwei and other detained journalists and dissidents, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. The two countries' foreign ministries have each urged China to release Ai, according to Reuters.
UPDATE, OCTOBER 22, 2010: CPJ's board of directors sets policy for the organization. At the October 18 meeting of the board, directors discussed the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, known as COICA.
The September 30 blog post below incorrectly stated that CPJ had "joined with other press freedom and civil liberty organizations and the Internet's pioneering engineers to urge the U.S. Senate to reject COICA in its current form." After discussion, the board determined that CPJ should take no position on the proposed legislation at this time. The matter was referred to the CPJ policy committee for further review.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Your money-saving tips
posted at 3/1/2009 7:14 AM ESTWe have been incorporating many money-saving tips for several years. Here are a few:
1. Bring your lunch to work most days. Not only does this save a lot of money, it is usually much more healthy than trying to find good options while ravenously searching for something. I save splurges for occasional lunch dates with friends.
2. Turn the heat down to 60 at night and add a down-altnerative blanket to your bed.
3. We have no credit card debt. I learned my lesson long ago, and I don't ever want to go there again.
4. I don't make a single purchase without really, really thinking about it, no matter how small or large. I am always so surprised, a day or two later, how grateful I am that I didn't buy something. And if I did buy it, I almost never regret it. If I do regret it, I return it.
5. Cook at home.
6. Get rid of the AC unless your home is like an oven. If you are in a position to install ceiling fans, they almost always cool or move the air around enough to make it bearable.

I always place my order by mail because by mail I can order just one box. By phone or internet the minimum order is 2 boxes.

@cherio: feeding a dog nothing but table scraps is a very bad idea. Dogs need a balanced dietl, too. It's a different balance than a balanced diet for people, but if they're not getting full nutrition, it can be very bad.
Your money-saving tips
posted at 3/3/2009 6:48 AM ESTTake inventory of what you've already got, especially when it comes to groceries. You would be amazed by what you have double bought.
With that being said, spend a few minutes when putting together your shopping list. If you make a list of meals that you will be making during the week, you will be less likely to order out. Make sure these meals are easy to make; otherwise, I find I tend to whimp out at the last moment and order out.
Also, automate everything.
For example:
* Lighting - Use monition sensors for outdoor lights. For Christmas lights, use timers.
* Heating - Set your heat to go down during the evening and during the day. * Banking - Automate your 401K payments, 529 payments and savings. The less you see in your checking account the less likely you will spend.

- For foods that you only use a portion of (broth, tomato paste), freeze portions in an ice cube tray, and put the frozen cubes into a bag in the freezer, then only thaw the portions you need.
- Don't let food go bad. Organize your fridge so that perishables are in one place where you see them all the time.
- Find other uses for things - freezer-burned meat can be used in stews.
- If your produce always goes bad, buy different produce -- stop making fresh salad if you never use it up, eat oranges instead of bananas, etc.

posted at 3/10/2009 5:19 PM EDTMany times, you can get warranty repairs/replacements without having the original sales receipt. If you charged the purchase or belong to the stores freq buyer program, at many of the national chain stores they can search for the purchase and print out a new receipt on the spot. This can then be used to get warranty service.
Even if you don't have a receipt, you can sometimes get store credit. LL Bean has one of the best satisfaction guarantees I've ever scene. If you have something with there name on it and it wears out or breaks, they will replace it or issues a store credit, if you don't have a receipt. BTW, it may not matter how old it is. While LL Bean might be a little more expensive in the short term, the investment can pay off in the long term.

Often, the hot-water faucet is on the left side.... Rightwanded people will automatically turn it on. Switch them around...
Switch off lights and use low-energy bulbs.... I bought 8 bulbs for places where lights tend to be on for long periods: office, kitchen, living room) : cost about 65 $, a year later, the utility company sent me a check for unused electricity: 290 $.

posted at 3/11/2009 5:50 AM EDTNever buy prepared meals at the grocery store. Make cooking meals an enjoyable experience.
Make meals, from dried beans. There are many varieties and they are much better and less expensive than canned versions.
For certain meals, such as soups, stews, casseroles, make enough for several meals and freeze.
Don't waste water, especially hot water. When taking a shower turn the water off when soaping up. Don't run water when shaving or brushing teeth.
Walk or ride a bike to places instead of driving your car.
If you have kids, buy an inexpensive kite and go to a park where you can fly it. Take a bike ride with the kids, or even just a walk in the woods.
Make something with the kids. Make cookies! Make crafts! Get books from the library and learn something creative with them. Have you ever tried origami?
Most of these activities require that you cut the cord to the TV. The only thing a TV does is teach kids to want expensive toys, or want unhealthy expensive meals.

How can I stop WordPress from prompting me to enter FTP information when doing updates?
If you edit your
Your settings will vary, but these work for me and my hosting setup. I've included some of the unused constants, prefixed:
Check your file ownership. When the user that apache runs as can write to the wordpress directories, then the integrated upgrade process all just works without ftp. The FTP credentials are for if the web server doesn't have the right priviledges on your files, then wordpress prompts you for your FTP details, and attempts to use those to FTP back to the same server it is on to be able to write the files it needs.
It seems that not only does WordPress check if the directories are writable, but it checks if the Apache user OWNS the directories (or at least, if the Apache user owns the temporary file it creates). Observe these lines of code at /wp-admin/includes/file.php: get_filesystem_method():
So, a quick solution will be to issue this command and give ownership of the whole Wordpress installation to Apache:
Where www-data is the Apache user, and of course wordpress is your WordPress installation folder.

The weekly news show "Maine Watch'' will be on hiatus through the spring and summer.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ Maine Public Broadcasting Network says it's laying off up to 10 employees because of funding reductions and lower public donations.
CEO and President Mark Volgelzang says mandated federal budget cuts along with state budget cuts and lower-than-expected donations are to blame.
Most of the layoffs will be drawn from a video production unit. The weekly news show "Maine Watch'' will be on hiatus through the spring and summer.
MPBN is the latest agency in Maine to feel the sting from $85 billion in mandated federal budget cuts known as "sequestration.'' Volgelzang described the federal cuts as a "tipping point.'' He says that altogether there's a projected shortfall of $400,000 through the end of the fiscal year.
Editor's note: This story updates a previous one to include the full amount of the network's projected shortfall through the end of the fiscal year.

I'm new to the guild but joined it because I'm looking for a map for the story I am writing. If I could figure out how to do it myself, I would but I'm completely at a loss. I saw some of the maps here and thought they were amazing. I was hoping that if I posted the info from the story someone would be able to make me an awesome map for me. This is what I've come up with.
The world is called Oden. I'd like there to be 6 districts and each district to have 1 major city, then some smaller cities/towns/communities as well. These are the names of district - name of major city (short discription):
Roald District - Harvest (central and largest district)
Cyma District - Dalmot (majoring farmland)
Abilene District - Sadat (is a wasteland - was once beautiful)
Dillan District - Bidgeway (small island)
Velius District - Laverine (surrounded by mountains and forests)
Holt District - Pewit (richest forests)
This is the discription of the 6 districts straight from my story:
They divided Oden up into six districts. The Roald district was the largest of all six districts, and would later become the capital district. Holt district had the most beautiful forests with lots of critters that were good for hunting. Cyma district was the majoring farmland, where the crops for all the other districts were provided. The district of Abilene was the most beautiful of all the districts, with wild flowers and large blossom trees. The last two districts, Dillan and Velius were the smallest, and separated by a large body of water. Velius district was secluded, surrounded by small forests, and large mountains; one could easily get lost. Finally, the Dillan district was a small island, the only district to truly be separated from the rest; you could only travel there by boat or plane.
I hope that's enough information. I'm not sure what else would be needed, if someone could take on the task it would be greatly appreciated. I don't mind imput into what you think works better, and I don't mind if you want to be creative with the map. Basically just want the world to be called Oden and it to have 6 districts with those names (they're weird, but for the story they are the name of the 6 gods that created Oden - just to give you more info).
Anyways, thanks, and I hope someone can help me out!
EDIT: I am looking to possibly, maybe get this story published, although I am nowhere near getting it finished. So if I did get this book published then I would be willing to pay. (Can't figure out how to change prefix to [Paid?] so that's why I'm editing this post) I am mostly looking for the map to help me visualize what I am writing. Of course if I do publish I would like copyrights to it, so I could put it in my book. I don't mind if the artist wants to use the map in their portfolio, but would not want them to use it for commercial purposes. If you need to contact me then you can email me at cabury_queen=at=hotmail.com (remove = and replace "at" with @).

Quick Tips: Smart Snacking When You Have Diabetes
Get Started
Follow your body's hunger and fullness signals. Smart snacking can help you keep your blood sugar levels stable, especially if you are taking medicine for diabetes.
Try these tips:
- Enjoy eating the right portion. Try using a smaller plate, bowl, or glass while you slowly eat your snack.
- Make healthy choices. Eat a piece of fresh fruit. Or combine that fruit with some protein, such as a small apple and a tablespoon of peanut butter. Or try dipping your fruit in some light yogurt.
- Be prepared. Keep cut-up raw vegetables in your refrigerator. If these are ready to eat, you're more likely to grab them than something else. Try a low-fat dip on the side.
- Eat nuts. Try a small handful of almonds, walnuts, or pecans. These treats each have less than 15 grams of carbohydrate.
- Choose filling foods that can satisfy your hunger without a lot of calories. Try a hard-boiled egg or an ounce of reduced-fat cheese, such as string cheese.
- Skip high-fat dips. Instead, mix plain yogurt, fat-free mayonnaise, cottage cheese, or fat-free sour cream with a small amount of dry soup mix. Or try a bean dip made with fat-free refried beans, topped with salsa.
- Get more fiber. Put that turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread. Mix wheat germ into yogurt or sprinkle it on salads. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals.
- Try something new. Make a pita pizza with a piece of whole wheat pita bread, tomato sauce, and a sprinkling of reduced-fat cheese. Top with sliced zucchini or mushrooms. Bake until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
And remember:
- Don't eat out of the bag or box. Take a single serving, and eat from a plate or bowl. It's easy to eat more than you need or want when the bag is open in front of you.
- Don't buy snacks that aren't healthy choices. If unhealthy snacks aren't around, you won't eat them.
- Keep an eye on the nutrition facts label, especially in low-fat or fat-free foods. To make up for flavor, sugar and salt is often added when fat is taken out.

The Alabama football team plays its first SEC home game Saturday against Arkansas, and its first game to be shown on prime time television. With the eyes of the nation on Bryant-Denny Stadium, here are five players to watch against the Razorbacks:1.] NG Lorenzo Washington Running the ball between the tackles will be one of the first things Arkansas tries Saturday with its two star running backs, Felix Jones and Darren McFadden. Arkansas' All-SEC center, junior Jonathan Luigs, is a much tougher matchup for Washington than either of the first two centers he has faced. The guess here is that the Razorbacks will usually try to single-block the unproven Washington with Luigs, leaving them better able to handle an eight-man front. If that happens, it will be incumbent upon Washington to be disruptive. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Looking nice. I'm guessing the labels are still temporary, right? Decided on a colour palette yet?
This is the fourth iteration of this map. Well fifth I guess but the first one was more for notes. Anyway, I have been working on this between other projects and I finally got all the linework done so now I just need to colour it. I have not picked a colour scheme yet though and there may be a few more details I might add and I should really move Moriya Shrine further up the mountain so it fits the canon (even though I like it where it is). So I may do that.
This project has been a good marker though, especially in comparison to my last version (which I increasingly hate).
Anyway, for the most part just the colouring to do! I'm sure it won't tooooo long. =P
(I may just link directly to it on my site once it is done as it is 1.5mb already even when saved as a really low quality jpg)

Hey Larb I missed this one, very nice!! How big is the bad boy if its already at 1.5 mb? pixel wise
It is 5000x3500 pixels. It is taking a while to colour especially in between other things. I am trying for a soft early morning scheme but we'll see how that turns out. =P
And yes those hand drawn labels are temporary. I have a habit of annotating my maps when I am making them.
Excellent work!

Folk Artist Malcah Zeldis Explains How Dressing Up Healed Her Pain

I love stories like this and completely agree with the video - I've even sent the link to a friend who told me she didn't see the point in dressing as a form of expression. Like this inspiring woman, though in a much less impressive way bearing in mind I wasn't dealing with hip problems, I found a way to be sure in myself and express myself to the world through clothes after two years of High School spent as an outcast.
She is a fantastic woman and the first photo is very beautiful. :)

It's so good that all those people pose you. In my country older (than me ;-P) people don't like to be photographed.
There's still strong social pressure against older people playing with fashion. ;-/

Love how fashion has helped this lovely lady heal herself. Great inspiration. I hope I can remember this when I'm ill or am older.
Thanks for sharing,

I've gone through a time much like this one she describes. Clothing is a wonderful medium in which women can nurture themselves. Lord knows we've spent most of our lives nurturing others.
Enjoyed all the videos too!

Wonderful interviews. I've certainly been through phases where my clothing was my artistic expression. It's fun.

I too love to hear stories like this. It is true dressing up is an art form and what an inspiring story. Way too often we hear stories from older people about why they CAN'T do such and such anymore so FABULOUS to hear a story about what CAN be done!! Excellent!!!!

King says he chose to caucus wtih Democrats because they now hold the majority, and Democratic Senate leaders have assured him that he would be able to retain his independence.
Maine independent Sen.-elect Angus King says he plans to caucus with Democrats. King made the announcement this morning at a news conference in Washington D.C.
King says he had several meetings with Democratic and Republican leaders leading up to his decision, which comes as no surprise to many political observers, who have long speculated that King would caucus with Democrats.
King says some Republicans have expressed disappointment, but he says "joining one side doesn't mean I'm in opposition to the other." He says he hopes he can serve as a "bridge" between the two parties.
The former Maine governor said he had to choose a side in order to serve on Senate committees. He said he chose to caucus with Democrats because the party currently holds the majority in the Senate.
King says he also got personal assurances from Senate Democratic leaders that he would not be expected to "toe the party line, and that was important to me."

While there is only an outside chance of the competition starting in 2013, it could begin the following year.A source close to the negotiations said on Tuesday: "As far as I know nobody has committed to it yet, so there is still quite a way to go."A similar idea was mooted in Australia three years ago, when Murray and Djokovic were approached, but it died through lack of interest............The format is a simple one: one-set matches in men's and women's singles, as well as doubles, mixed doubles and legends singles. There would be no advantage points played.It sounds a like a lightweight carnival, a glorified exhibition. And playing just one set a day might not be the most arduous workout these players have ever had. But there is the travel and the commitment of time – time most of them currently spend recovering from the bruising demands of their sport.

Deputies said the tallest, home-grown marijuana plant was at least 12 feet tall.
Deputies in Carteret County said a concerned citizen called for police to take a look at a Newport man's home.
Deputies said 52-year-old Donald Krimminger was cooperative with deputies when they seized 24 marijuana plants from outside the Newport man's home.
Deputies said the plants would yield more than 40 pounds of marijuana. The tallest of the plants seized was at least 12 feet tall, according to investigators.
Krimminger was charged with manufacturing marijuana, possession of marijuana, and maintaining a dwelling to sell narcotics. Krimminger was placed in the Carteret County Jail under a $10,000.00 bond

If you are a government leader, staff member or policy maker wanting to learn more about case management or what CMSA has to offer, please contact us at:
(501) 225-2229 or email us.
Case Managers are at the center of care delivery for patients. They serve as a patient advocate and resource as well as providing critical information and recommendations to the rest of the care team: physicians, surgeons, nurses, administrators, benefits coordinators, employers and family caregivers. In this role they break down silos, open up new efficient paths for health care delivery and ensure the adequate utilization of resources, all while focusing on the primary goal: effective care of the patient.
The Case Management Society of America is the oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to delivery of care management services across practice settings and care models. CMSA provides educational, networking and professional resources for its members and seeks to connect case managers, products and service providers, consumers and policy makers to ensure optimal delivery of care management services. This site is focused on helping legislators and policy makers better understand the role case management plays in health care delivery and how to ensure patients receive the best care possible.
Come to Capitol Hill with fellow CMSA members, CMSA's Public Policy Committee and Board of Directors to play a direct role in the legislative process by meeting with your House and Senate representatives. In addition, you'll be able to highlight the critical role that case managers play in healthcare delivery, explore how to utilize your local networks for grassroots legislative success and ensure that case managers are speaking for case managers.

On Nov. 20, 2014, U.S. Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced the bipartisan Critical Care Assessment and Improvement Act of 2014. The bill calls for a comprehensive evaluation of America's critical care system with the goal of driving policies that will maximize current federal resources to improve health outcomes for patients in our nation's intensive care units and to ensure we are prepared for future health emergencies.
CMSA has provided its support for the bill; to read the letter of support, click here.
On Sept. 27, 2013, the United States Senate passed S. Res. 214, a resolution declaring the week of October 13-19, 2013, as "National Case Management Week," to recognize the value of case management in improving healthcare outcomes for patients.
The resolution, which passed unanimously, was introduced by Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) and Senator John Boozman (R-AR) in early August through a collaborative effort between the American Case Management Association and the Case Management Society of America to honor case management professionals for their contributions to health care.
On April 11, 2014, it was announced that Kathleen Sebelius, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary, is resigning after five years in the position. President Obama intends to nominate Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the current director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, to the HHS position.
While this is big national news, what does it mean for case management? Here are a few key points about how this change may affect healthcare, you and your patients:
Almost everyone who works in healthcare is affected by funding or regulations that come under the purview of the Department of Health and Human Services. In addition, almost everyone knows someone who is affected by the Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security programs. These programs and HHS as a whole will have new leadership soon, allowing the agency to have more time to focus on the programs for which it is responsible instead of controversies, and a new leader with a strong budgetary background to show the way.
CMSA shows support for Bill, which is designed to improve transitions of care for high risk Medicare beneficiaries
On September 14, Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Thomas Petri (R-WI), Allyson Schwartz (D-PA) and Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) introduced the bipartisan Medicare Transitional Care Act of 2012, legislation that seeks to improve transitions of care for Medicare beneficiaries at highest risk for readmission as they move from the hospital setting to their home, skilled nursing facility or next point of care. The Case Management Society of America is in support of the Bill, which the organization believes would directly address continuity of care problems by increasing patient support and ensuring appropriate follow-up care during and after the transition period.
The legislation incorporates many of NTOCC's principles, such as aligning the transitional service requirements with NTOCC's "Seven Essential Intervention Categories"—seven key elements found in evidence-based care interventions— and the integration of all members of the care team in executing effective care transitions.
The full proposed text legislation is available at: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?r112:E14SE2-0027:/ or via PDF by clicking here. Also, click here to view the CMSA Letter of Support.
CMSA has prepared a resource kit to help policymakers better understand the role of case managers and the how effective case management services provide better outcomes for patients, controlling health care expenditures and improving the performance of the US healthcare system.
The kit includes easy- to-understand background information and material for individuals new to case management as well as policymakers well versed in health care issues. The information is provided in a variety of formats so you can easily share this material with your colleagues and constituents.

It's just another way you can help caregivers.

- Excellent Alt AZ Mount Review by email@example.com
Value Quality
- Solid mount and easy to travel with Review by Paul
- I purchased this for my Lunt LS60 solar telescope and I was very impressed with the quality of this alt az mount! I especially like the slow motion worm drive controls that allow me to track the sun manually with no issues. The legs of the tripod are solid as a rock and there is a convenient compartment near the top of the tripod for storing the allen wrenches used for mounting my dovetail and adjusting the mount tension. The tripod folds up quickly and is easy to move around. I would recommend this mount package to anyone who needs a solid alt az mount. (Posted on 4/12/2012)

Nice map... I like your police characters wich gives the "Norse atmosphere".
I also like your glacier wich seems to have the unatural and creepy shape of a cauldron hag.
May I suggest you to enlarge your "ice sea" ?
I wonder what the look it shoul have if it overwhelms the Conal-Kensi Gulf (till the smal island).
Perhaps you also could the permafrost limits by adding a white shade filter layer on the sea.
And for tremendous perils of journey, a volcano and a geyser's field (ouch, I'm telling all my "Grand Nord Fantasmes" )
As in this example (sorry to modify your map... Just to show you, not to correct)
What do you think about ?

The PBS television series The History Detectives, not known for drawing attention to itself, made headlines this week by declaring that they have found and authenticated the Fender guitar used by Bob Dylan at the legendary 1965 Newport Folk Festival. The current owners of the guitar, the daughter of a man who flew private planes for Dylan in the 60's, claims that her father picked up the sunburst Stratocaster after it was left behind after a trip. Not so fast says Dylan's representatives, who claim the famous axe is still in the possession of Dylan. Who is right? We'll just have to see, given Dylan hasn't stated whether or not he'll actually provide physical proof to contradict the program's evidence. Several months earlier, Dylan and filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker joined forces to film several of his United Kingdom shows. Don't Look Back is a classic rockumentary that takes you behind closed doors to give you access to a somewhat contrived Dylan and his growing dissatisfaction with fame and with his folkie fans. His sycophantic entourage and their gratuitous mocking of both the press and his contemporaries (see: Joan Baez and Donovan) are weaved in between the footage of Dylan playing songs from his albums Another Side of Bob Dylan, Bringing It All Back Home and Highway 61 Revisited.
