AFSP suicide research priority areas
We define priorities for funding every two years to stimulate research in understudied areas. We also encourage applications that address the priorities set out by the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention's Research Prioritization Task Force. Priority area research applications are reviewed along with the general pool of grant applications, with priority given to strong grants in the designated areas.
AFSP suicide research grants program priority areas for 2014–16
- The high risk period following discharge from an inpatient hospital or emergency department or
- Assessment and/or intervention in primary care settings.
We aim to fund at least one to two rigorously designed priority area grants among those awarded in each cycle. Our two-year priority period allows for resubmission of unsuccessful applications in the second year. While we encourage applications in the priority areas, we also encourage and welcome all applications related to preventing suicide. In addition we continue to maintain a strong interest in research related to survivors of suicide loss.
The National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention has defined its priorities in terms of six questions
- Why do people become suicidal?
- How can we better or optimally detect/predict risk?
- What interventions are effective? What prevents individuals from engaging in suicidal behavior?
- What services are most effective for treating the suicidal person and preventing suicidal behavior?
- What other types of preventive interventions (outside health care systems) reduce suicide risk?
- What new and existing research infrastructure is needed to reduce suicidal behavior?
The full text of the alliance's priorities is available here.▲ Back to Top
AFSP Suicide Research Grants support studies aimed at increasing our understanding of the causes of suicide and factors related to suicide risk, or that test treatments and other interventions designed to prevent suicide. At least one suicide outcome measure must be included in all grant projects. We also consider studies of treatment feasibility, and studies that add a suicide component (e.g., population or treatment) to an existing grant in another area.
Grant Period: AFSP grants are awarded for 2-year periods with the exception of Pilot Research Grants.
Eligible Applicants: Investigators from all academic disciplines are eligible to apply, and both basic science and applied research projects will be considered, provided that the proposed study has an essential focus on suicide or suicide prevention.
A current grantee may submit a new application as their grant nears completion but it will not be funded until completion of the current grant and submission of a Final Report.
New grantees must begin their studies within 6 months of the approved start date. Failure to begin the study within this time frame may result in withdrawal of the grant award.
Exclusions: Grant applications are not accepted from for-profit organizations, or from federal or state government agencies. Applications from the Veterans Administration are eligible.
Resubmission: If your application is not funded, you may resubmit your grant application up to two times after your initial submission. AFSP strongly encourages resubmission. If you decide to resubmit please include a letter outlining your consideration of the feedback provided on previous applications.
Grantee Expectations: AFSP expects funded investigators to assist us with the important task of disseminating new research findings. In particular, we aim to disseminate findings to our constituents and donors who generate financial support for our research grants program. Following grant completion, we may invite you to present your study results at an AFSP-sponsored research forum, and expect you to provide us with periodic updates on your publications and research projects. Acceptance of AFSP grant funding assures your place in a growing community of suicide prevention researchers, and we appreciate your willingness to play an active role in that community, and in assisting us to communicate with our constituents.
Applicants should carefully review AFSP's grant policy statements for additional guidelines and restrictions. Grant applications that do not conform to our stated policies will not be reviewed.
Assessing for Gender Identity & Sexual Orientation
Survey data suggest that individuals who are LGBT are at greater risk for suicide attempts (Haas, Eliason et al. 2011). However, confirmation of this finding is needed across a wider range of samples and using a wider range of data collection methods. In an effort to learn more about this issue we suggest that all AFSP-funded researchers who are collecting original data systematically assess research participants for sexual orientation and gender identity. Recommended methods of assessment can be found in the policy manuals. It is designed to serve as a model for federal agencies and other funders of mental health and suicide research.

Application review process
Participants in the grant review process
Each year Scientific Council members are invited to recommend scientists to become Scientific Advisors. Scientific Advisors serve as reviewers for grant applications as well as AFSP experts. We seek a broad range of reviewers to address the array of scientific areas necessary to effectively review applications. We maintain a geographically diverse, international review panel. If advisors in specific areas are needed, this is noted in the request for nominations. The active list of Scientific Advisors is available on AFSP's website and Scientific Council members are encouraged to review the list and provide suggestions based on areas of expertise that may be underrepresented.
Scientific Advisors must hold positions at the Associate Professor level or above and must be actively engaged in research. All suggestions are submitted to the Vice President of Research for review with the Chief Medical Officer. Those that meet eligibility requirements are sent letters of invitation describing the role of Scientific Advisors. Once an individual agrees to become an AFSP Scientific Advisor they are asked to complete an Expertise Form indicating their areas of expertise for entry into our data base. The form is used as a tool for assisting in the matching of Scientific Advisors and applications.
Scientific Advisors who have reviewed grants for several years and have provided exemplary reviews may be considered for membership in the Research Grants Committee (RGC). The Scientific Council approves Scientific Advisors for eligibility as potential members of the RGC. Efforts are made to maintain geographic and scientific diversity in the membership of the RGC. RGC members serve a three year term with the option of an invitation to serve another three year term. They must rotate off the RGC for at least one year before they can be considered for re-eligibility as a member. They may serve as an ad hoc reviewed if needed.
Process of AFSP grant reviews
AFSP grant review is a multi-staged, peer-reviewed process. Applications are submitted electronically through our grant application program. All applications are reviewed unless they: 1) do not relate to suicide; 2) do not come from an eligible organization as outlined in the application procedure manual; 3) there is no Institutional Review Board to oversee the research; 4) they do not comply with the application guidelines; or 5) they do not represent a research project (e.g., requests for funding a clinical project).
Once eligibility for review is confirmed, each application is reviewed and an Application Focus Checklist is completed indicating the characteristics of the grant including sample, setting, methodology, type of study, and outcome measures. The application is then assigned to two Scientific Advisors for independent review. These reviewers are vetted for conflict of interest and matched with the grant based on relevant expertise using the Expertise Form in combination with the Application Focus Checklist. Reviewers who have submitted an application do not review other applications in the grant category in which they submitted. The reviewer is sent the abstract of the grant including a list of personnel and asked to complete a conflict of interest form documenting that they have no conflict. The criteria for a conflict are outlined in AFSP's policy on COI. If there are no conflicts they are given access to the grant to review. Each Scientific Advisor may review up to 5 applications.
After the first round of reviews, two groups of applications are sent to an RGC member (who has also been vetted for conflict of interest and expertise) for a summary review: (1) those applications with an average score in the top range (for this year 2015, a 3.5 or better on a scale of 1-9), and (2) applications with a significant discrepancy between reviewers (more than 5 points). Reviewers are asked to specifically identify the rationale for ratings (particularly in cases when their rating is significantly worse or better than an initial reviewer's). The matching of reviewer and application is conducted in the same manner as the first level of review. Based on the RGC summary review, the top scoring grants (again, this year 3.5 or below on a scale of 1-9) are then advanced for discussion by the Research Grants Committee (RGC) during an in-person meeting modeled on an NIH study section.
The RGC Committee meets for one to two days and discusses the top-scoring grant applications as determined by the priority scores assigned by the two initial reviewers and the RGC reviewer. RGC reviewers are also asked to consider the entire list of applications sent for individual RGC review and permitted to add applications that they reviewed and think ought to be discussed. Following presentation by the RGC reviewer, each application is discussed by the Committee. Members then assign the application a priority score on their anonymous ballots. Final priority scores are then determined by averaging the individual scores of the voting members of the RGC.
Committee members having conflicts of interest do not see the specific applications or reviewer scores and are not present for the deliberations or scoring of those applications. Every effort is made to ensure that reviewers who have submitted applications are not present for reviews in the grant category to which they applied. The Committee scores all grant applications presented at review.
If a member cannot attend the RGC meeting, an ad hoc member from the list of eligible RGC reviewers with relevant expertise serves on the committee. The ad hoc member participates as a full member during that review.
Applications are then ordered based on average RGC score and recommended to the Scientific Council for funding based on allocated budget and quality. Funding is complete when all funds are allocated or the next application requires significant modification to be conducted, whichever comes first. Grants that meet the designated AFSP priorities outlined in the application instructions may be funded out of order if they are of sufficient quality to be funded had there been enough funds. Fundable grants are then submitted to the Scientific Council for approval for funding and those approved are presented to the AFSP Board of Directors for funding approval.▲ Back to Top

Haven is back! xD Duke and Audrey would be so cute together! It's so obvious that Duke is in love with her. But then there's Nathan. I nearly cried. And I think I figured out why Duke's dad wanted to kill Lucy...
And then there's Supernatural's latest episode "A Little Slice of Kevin". I don't have any words. So many mixed feelings from that episode.
Anyway, this is not about the shows, but about the sketches I did of the characters from the shows, which I suppose I will let you see for yourself.

I read the intro post...thanks :) I put in a request at the library for the Doman books. I'm slowly starting the supplements I'm comfortable with. We're doing PT through EI and working with her on our own based on their suggestions. Beyond that, I don't know what to do next. I know that I can't treat her like my typical son when he was a baby...I feel like I need to be more proactive. With my son I basically just loved him, took him to playdates, mommy and me classes, library storytime, arts and crafts at home, the usual stuff. In preschool I homeschooled him, and he was reading at age 3. He now reads and comprehends many years beyond his grade. He is very intelligent and in first grade he is in the advanced group for his math work. My point isn't to brag about my son (though I certainly could do that all day because beyond being so bright he's also extremely thoughtful, funny, cute, and sweet :)
But I kinda feel like I didn't have to do anything special for him to reach his potential... yet if I do the same exact things with Lily she might not reach her potential. I'm not willing to accept that she won't ever excel.
But where do I start? I looked at BrillKids, but there's no way DH will go for spending a couple hundred dollars on the program, especially at 5 months old. Soooo.... beyond loving her and doing the typical mom things, what should I be doing??

While there is no official Green Lantern trailer, there is a fan-made one, starring Nathan Fillion in the title role. The trailer borrows from several movies, including Iron Man and the new Star Trek, and has so far impressed Fillion, who announced his satisfaction on Twitter: "I LOVE THIS! this guy rocks!" Check it out below:
Sol Romero, wife of Green Lantern director Martin Campbell, recently stated that the movie was "still in the casting process." Romero also revealed what fans can expect from the movie:
I personally think the movie is going to be bigger than any other comic movies, like Spider-Man. In the comic book, he is a regular guy who is a little bit afraid of his dad's shadow, and so he is piloting a jet plane [to prove himself]. But then he gets involved with this Green Lantern and is protecting the Earth, so he dies and becomes the next Green Lantern. He is a fearless character.

Friends set up memorial for Santa Ana man
SANTA ANA – For strangers who pass by the 7-Eleven store on West Edinger Avenue, Rudy White was just another man living on the street; for others who knew him, he was a sweet, wise man and a friend to everybody.
"He's my best little buddy. I miss him a lot," said Santa Ana resident Eli Esquivel, who had known White for more than two years.
White died at around 3:30 a.m. on Aug. 1 while staying at a friend's house. The Orange County coroner's office said White died due to a ruptured aneurism in his abdomen that caused bleeding in the lining of the heart. He was 62.
Shortly after he died, a friend of five years, Santa Ana resident Michelle Bleecker, set up a memorial in front of the Carniceria Santa Ana Meat Market on Flower Street, where White often used to hang out. Friends said they'd see him at both the meat market and the nearby convenience store.
A big white paper, laid on the ground, was filled with notes from friends and people who knew him. In the middle was a container filled with flowers, framed photos of White, a box for donations, and an apple with his name carved on it.
"We'll miss you, good friend," one person wrote. "I still owe you 10 cents. I'll see you when I get there," said another.
White was born on June 15, 1948. He's lived in Santa Ana since he was about 8, his friends said.
He worked as a paver and a heavy equipment operator, said Santa Ana resident Ron Bleecker, who went to high school with White and is Michelle Bleecker's uncle.
"I lost a good friend that I've had most of my life," he said.
When the company White worked for transferred out of state about five years ago, he chose to stay in Santa Ana and hadn't gotten a job since then.
Friends said White had a relative he had lived with not far from 7-Eleven, but went there only occasionally in recent years.
He hung around the nearby meat market, where people have come to know the friendly, skinny man with a long beard.
Michelle Bleecker said people who usually come by the meat market stopped to look at the memorial and were startled once they realized it was Rudy White in the picture.
"Everybody just looked after him," she said. "They may not know his name, but they definitely know his face."
Friends said White was a perfect example of why people should not judge the book by its cover.
He may have lived out of shopping cart and loved to drink beer, but he was also well-read and could talk about topics like the theory of relativity, or the distance between the sun and Mars, they said.
He also liked giving his friends whatever penny he had left.
"I always give him a dollar here, $3 there, but whenever I'm broke, he would give me everything he has," Esquivel said.
White had been cremated. His sister flew in from Texas shortly after his death to take care of the cremation, friends said.
Michelle Bleecker said White was supposed to receive his first Social Security check on Aug. 18. He was planning to buy himself a guitar and set up a beach party for his friends.
There will still be a party, she said. She has collected $77 so far for a small get-together at her house.
"We just want to celebrate his life," she said.

My "Project" Truck......
I bought my project at auction about a month ago. I knew it was going to need quite a bit of work but, nothing I wouldn't be able to deal with (for the most part). Bear with me, I have some physical limitations so this project may take some time.
As I crawled in, over, under and through- finding all the problems I made quite a list of things to do. It is obvious that not much attention was ever given to maintenance. It is a 1999 with only 72,000 miles, second owner had it about a year before trading it. Not sure if they beat it or it just was from a lifetime of neglect. As I searched the internet I found this forum as an excellent resource to help identify some of the oddities I was finding.
The weather hasn't been the greatest so I have spent my time sourcing parts and ordering them to be ready for the attack. Finally this week I had the chance to start.
Top of the list is the ever so popular intake plenum repair. About 4 hours over 2 days and I was able to get everything unbolted, out of the way and removed. I didn't bother to take before pictures- I'm sure most members have seen it before. I will however post the after pics.
It would appear that someone tried to repair it previously and did a horrendous job. Best I can guess, they reused all the bolts and didn't use a torque wrench. None of the manifold bolts took much to break loose. Although I soaked them for days previously with PB Blaster, I would still expect them to need more than a casual turn of the ratchet to loosen. Thankfully, only one broke- I am suspicious that it already had....... The pan bolts were easy too- one of which was already loose.
I'll spend the next day or two cleaning parts and doing the Keggar Mod and removing the ears on the throttle body.
Since it is all apart, I'll be doing the typical tune up stuff and replacing the valve cover gaskets. IMHO- might as well do it all while its opened up.
Again- before I put it all back together, I'll post pics of the results.

British garage rock duo Blood Red Shoes (not to be confused with Seattle's Blood Red Dancers) have a Northwest affinity. Earlier this week, the Brighton duo (guitarist Laura-Mary Carter and drummer Steven Ansell) released the above video postcard, featuring themselves traveling around Snoqualmie, the site of their favorite TV show, Twin Peaks. Creepy music plays (it's Blood Red Shoes covering "Into the Night," from the Twin Peaks soundtrack), Snoqualmie Falls is admired, and Carter enjoys some damn good cherry pie.
They even wrote a homage to the show, explaining their shared obsession on their website. Says Ansell:
Laura-Mary and I first got into Twin Peaks before we knew each other or started a band. It was originally broadcast in 1990 in the USA, but I remember it as being one of the first things shown on Channel 5 when it started up, which for some reason I could never tune into at my mum's house but some of my friends in college (the weird kids) would talk about it in a way that made me want a part of it. Once you see a couple of episodes you're hooked and from then on I became a fan; I distinctly remember scouring the internet for downloads of the second season, which you couldn't buy on DVD until a few years ago - and being utterly frustrated that I couldn't find anything (the first season ends with the putative "hero" of the series being shot, you have no idea whether he's dead or alive...now THAT'S how you do a cliffhanger).
Fast forward a couple of years and somewhere in our early touring life Laura-Mary and I discover that we both have similar, hitherto unspoken, addictions to Twin Peaks, so from the day the second season comes out on DVD it becomes a firm fixture on tour, where we watch it every night on a shit laptop when we're crashing on someone's floor (or about a year later, in hotels and our freshly-dvd-equipped tour van). I don't really know precisely what it is that draws musicians into the world of Twin Peaks, but I've met very few musicians who AREN'T in love with it. There's something about the twisted atmosphere, that nagging, unsettling darkness to it that chimes in with people of an artistic bent, who are usually fairly mentally unsettled themselves, I suppose. For a band like us who are fixated by the unspoken, secretive, darker underside to the human experience, it's essential viewing, and in fact articulates in a very musical way - by evoking rather than being explicit.
Fast forward another couple of years and we finally get the chance to tour the USA properly. First stop: Seattle, where we fly in two days early and convince our nice-as-cherry-pie tour manager Whit into driving us into the surrounding Snoqualmie area where most of the series was shot. we get to relive the 90s dream like a pair of 13-year-old dorky grunge kids because Whit, as the sound guy for the Jesus Lizard since 1990, has toured with most of our favourite bands ever, and gets a thorough quizzing throughout the trip. This blog is the footage we took there, set to a backdrop of "into the night" - our cover of a song from the series which we did for a Radio 1 session earlier this year.

Privateer schooner 1775
Museum quality wooden planked model ship kit by MAMOLI, ItalyDuring the early years of the Revolutionary War (1775 - 76) private vessels (privateers) were commissioned by the colonial rebel government to prey on British commerce everywhere and to capture, when possible, British ship. In 1776, while he was Ambassador to France, Ben Franklin purchased a small French schooner. The ship was nearly invisible at night, as she was painted black above the waterline. Franklin named her Black Prince and sent her to raid British merchant shipping. Black Prince gained a reputation as a courageous privateer, taking ships in their home ports. The prizes and booty she captured were sent home to the Colonies to help win the War for Independence. The Black Prince continued her assaults until disaster struck on April 6th of 1780, when she met her end as she struck a reef during an engagement along the coast of France.
Mamoli's kit uses laser cut wooden components for plank-on-bulkhead construction. Fittings consist of wooden grating, belaying pins, blocks and deadeyes, cast metal anchors, silk-screened flags and rigging line. Just like the original cannon and two swivel guns.Well drawn plans and illustrated instructions are easy to follow.

HOUSTON - MARCH 28: Detail of basketballs before the third round game of the South Regional between the Stanford Cardinal and the Texas Longhorns as part of 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Reliant Stadium on March 28, 2008 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
As per CBS Sports, former Tennessee point guard Trae Golden is transferring to Georgia Tech. Golden says he chose Tech in order to be closer to his sick father. He is still awaiting an NCAA exemption to be able to play in the 2013-2014 season.
Tennessee never named a reason Golden's departure, but according to sources, it was due to academic issues.
The 6-foot-2 point guard scored about 12 points per game his junior season and led the team with 3.9 assists per game.

I am female and was shopping with a friend one time for the perfect fragrance for her guy. We smelled a LOT of colognes that day, but finally gave up, and chose none. Then, we were walking around [@] and this man walked by me. OMG he smelled SOOOO great. I actually turned and followed him, I had to know what that scent was. I asked him, and he seemed a little embarrassed, but told me it was Lacoste. The green kind. Not only did my friend buy it for her man, but I bought it for mine, as well. It is AMAZING SMELLING. After my husband gets ready for work, the scent lingers for awhile near the vanity and I can't help but stop and inhale. My husband never really wore cologne much until he started getting so many compliments on this stuff. I will always make sure he has a healthy supply. I even bought a small bottle for my car so it smells as great as he does.

I purchased the "tester" of the Lacoste Essential. I was assured it would be identical to the brand new, in box version. I don't believe it is. Although the cologne does smell great (reason I bought it), it doesn't hold the smell for long. It seems like it vansihes within an hour or so, wheeras my other colgnes keep their smells much, much longer. I wouldn't suggest purchasing a "tester" even though the prices are usually pretty good compared to the new. pay the little bit extra and get a better quality product. I'm not impressed.

Newcastle fire district asks Placer County for $100,000 loan
The Newcastle Fire Protection District has applied to Placer County for a $100,000 loan to make it through until December.
Yvonne Lewis, chairperson of the Newcastle fire district board of directors, said the use of the loan is straight forward.
"To pay bills," she said.
The fire district's application for "temporary borrowing of treasury funds for dry period financing" must be approved by the Placer County Board of Supervisors.
Kimberly Hawley, chief deputy treasurer for Placer County, said Newcastle's application for a $100,000 loan will be considered at the Nov. 6 meeting of the board of supervisors.
Newcastle's application will be considered alongside another from the North Tahoe Fire Protection District for $1 million. Placer Hills Fire Protection District had a loan approved by the board of supervisors at their Sept. 25 meeting.
"Dry period financing is utilized by schools and fire districts alike. It's not unusual," Hawley said.
The Newcastle Fire Protection District has not approached Placer County for a loan of any amount in the past decade, according to Hawley.
Newcastle's request for a loan comes during the lull between residents paying into Measure B and when the district will actually see those funds sometime in December. The district will receive another payment in April.
Measure B was passed during a special election in March and imposes an annual $146.46 parcel tax on property owners that can be increased up to 3 percent annually to pay for a new firehouse and wage increases and benefits for firefighters.
Outrage over the cost increase of Measure B spurred a group of residents to put a counter measure called Measure K on the November ballot. If Measure K passes on the November ballot, Measure B will be reformed and the parcel tax will be $146.46 per year for the first three years and then it will be reduced to $30 per parcel after three years and the 3 percent increase will be abolished.
"The fire district's fiscal year begins July 1 and the first distribution of revenue is not received by the district until December. This cash flow financing method helps fire districts manage until they receive their property tax revenues in December," Hawley said in an email on Monday.
The "dry period" between the district receiving revenues from Measure B and Measure F, which was passed in 1997 and imposes a $74.18 parcel tax with a 2 percent cost-of-living increase per year, is the reason for the district to apply for the loan. The district recently approved wage increases and benefit packages for firefighters.
"We've been living on less than $500,000 for years and years now and we're still staying within that budget, it's just not here yet," Lewis said.
Hawley describes the loan as more of a line of credit. The fire protection district can spend up to $100,000 and the loan is repaid directly out of those revenues the district is set to receive in December.
"The fire districts receive funding through those direct charges in December and April and that sometimes creates cash flow problems for them since they are in operation the whole year, so the treasurer, under approval from the board of supervisors, can get them past those cash flow problems until they get their funding twice per year," Hawley said.

I haven't been here in a few years, but I always know where to come for these questions as you ladies always have great advice.
DD1 will be 10 in June. She is about 60 lbs and may be 4'9", if not she is real close. She is in a Britax Parkway SGL in my car with the highback still on. DD2 will be 6 in June. She is about 50 lbs and 45" tall. She is in a Graco Nautilus in my car still with the harness.
Due to a recent divorce a friend will drive them to school, pick them up and drive them around locally some times. So far she hasn't driven with DD2 in the car. DD1 rides in a Graco highback booster in friend's car now. I am trying to figure out what to buy for times it would help to have friend take both girls. Since DD2 will be 6 in June I am willing to have her in a highback booster in friend's car since its such short trips and all local (lower speeds). I like the SGL features of the Parkway, but not sure if its worth the cost since DD1 could probably go to a lowback booster now, esp in friends car which she is close to 5-step test. Was thinking of having DD2 use the current Graco highback and getting DD1 a lowback. I saw the Graco affix, but not sure if it is any safer than a lowback without LATCH and if it can be LATCHed for a child over 40 lbs (2014 Honda CRV).
Please share all thoughts on this. Thanks!

The King County Sheriff's Office appears to have found the solution to police brutality: Don't report it. In 2011, the county internally investigated two use-of-force complaints. The same year, the Seattle Police Department investigated one-hundred-fifty-nine use-of-force complaints. Not surprisingly, the sheriff's office isn't being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice for its use of force; the police department is. As county auditors suggested in a report issued this week, you have to wonder whether the sheriff is even accepting brutality complaints anymore.
The auditors randomly selected and reviewed 14 of 732 investigative cases handled or coordinated by the IIU during 2011, along with the two use of force investigations. In just that tiny sample, they found complaints that had been stamped "unfounded" and "not sustained" even when accused officers admitted to the violations.
Though the county's sworn personnel is smaller (650) than Seattle's (1,300), the sheriff's office provides services to a larger population - about 1.8 million people, the report notes (sheriff's officers are also deployed in 12 contract cities around the county as well as in Seattle - staffing the Metro Transit police and stadium forces, for example. They're empowered to make arrests in Seattle, of course, even wrongly, such as this $10 million "shove" ).
So two use-of-force complaints, versus Seattle's 159? It sounds like a bad joke on taxpayers. It also reflects the true value of the ballyhooed Blue Ribbon Panel that then-Sheriff Sue Rahr set up in 2006 to handle department misconduct. (That followed a year-long series by the P-I on deputy misconduct and evidence of a weak internal disciplinary system in the Sheriff's Office, spurring two FBI investigations and other probes).
As the audit itself found, some of the panel's "early implementation efforts were not fully executed or sustained over time. As a result, KCSO is not complying with three of the six Blue Ribbon Panel findings and recommendations that directly tie officer conduct to their supervisors' responsibility to create and sustain a culture of accountability." (While the audit was being conducted, Rahr decided to retire, and take another job with the state, training police officers.)
The audit is effectively an indictment of the department, now in the hands of Rahr's Chief Deputy Steve Strachan, her hand-picked successor. He's running for election this year against a former Rahr spokesperson, retired Sgt. John Urquhart, who says there are now only two detectives staffing the IIU with a combined experience of about seven months in handling misconduct investigations. "That's unacceptable," he says.
Strachan claims he's already taking corrective action -"The culture of change must be initiated by me," he told the Times.
But isn't he one of those top officials the audit says failed the accountability test?
Unfortunately, KCSO leadership has not promoted officer and management accountability through the expectation of rigorous compliance with the department's accountability system and support of the internal investigations function. Revisions to the KCSO accountability process introduced in 2011 inherently rely upon front-line field supervisors to properly initiate, investigate, and document complaints and incidents of misconduct and policy violations by subordinate officers. However, the KCSO chain of command does not properly require them to do so, nor support them when they do.
The result, auditors add, "is a departmental culture that downplays the importance of officer accountability." That's the culture Strachan has been a part of, the one he says he now must change. Let's hope change doesn't begin with another Blue Ribbon panel.

Random picture of the day: Patriots president Jonathan Kraft chillin' with Mark Cuban
Earlier today, Patriots president Jonathan Kraft appeared on a panel with Cowboys C.O.O. Stephen Jones, Mavs owner Mark Cuban, and ESPN's Sports Guy Bill Simmons at the M.I.T. Sloan Sports Analytics Conference. The topic was the future of the game day experience, and it sounded like Kraft represented himself quite well. We'll search some reports for a post tomorrow on what Kraft had to say, but here is him hanging with Cuban:

Learn more about the mutually beneficial relationship between these industries.
Past CCGA President Todd Hames spoke at the Senate Standing Committee on Agriculture and Forestry on the importance of bees and bee health. His testimony can be found here.
Bees Matter is an initiative of CropLife Canada, supported by CCGA, dedicated to educating Canadians on the importance of honey bees to agriculture, the many ways our industry supports these pollinators, and the many factors affecting honey bee health. The website includes information about honey bees, the food they eat and the relationship they have with our crops.
Part of the project offers Canadians the opportunity to receive free seeds to plant their own pollinator gardens and provide nutrition to local colonies, just like farmers' flowering crops, through a program caled Buzzing Gardens.

text: The Tamil film industry, the second largest in South Asia, is closely identified with its larger than life heroes. Yet Tamil heroes come in many shapes and sizes, confounding the notion of the ideally masculine. Framed by a playful feminist eye, Hero! presents images of Tamil heroes: on screen, in make-up rooms, on the sets, in photo albums of fan clubs, in advertising and street art. Hero! humorously reverses the gaze–the voyeur-hero of Tamil cinema now becomes the watched–deconstructing his distinctive aura of masculine power and self-possession. A lively text and startling images present a complex, provocative and entertaining critique of masculinity. V. Geetha is a scholar, who grew up with Tamil films.

Seattle, look into the face of your creamy destruction and despair...
Legal Speedballs is a brand-new Voracious column beginning in the wake of nation-wide caffeinated alcoholic beverage bans. The primary goal of the article is to explore both well-known and more obscure "speedballs" within the Seattle bars that have every legal right to serve them.
With the increasing amount of ambiguities, half-truths and apparent hypocrisies that caffeine+booze bans have aggravated for drinker and brewer alike, Legal Speedballs seeks to answer a question that transcends being able to pick up a novelty-sized can of 26 proof Fruit Punch from your local cornerstore: do Washingtonians need to be protected from Four Loko, from themselves, or from frivolous legislation?This Week's Suspect: When thinking about the recent rash of hyperactive college drunks desperately competing to out-coma one another, Irish Coffee isn't exactly the most culpable enabler. More acquainted with spunky grandmothers and drowsy bartenders than your average lethal bender, Irish Coffee has become somewhat of a symbol for healthy and responsible alcohol consumption. After all, what's wrong with a little nip of rye in your afternoon cup of joe?
While often thought of as a concoction as old as whiskey itself, Irish Coffee has been attributed to many different bartenders, but never before World War 2. Strangely, the person I've seen credited who actually lived in Ireland is a bartender from Donegal whose origin story reads more or less like a bastardization of the Sidecar's. Irish Coffee's nebulous origin is important, because it gives it something slightly more potent than a measurable history. Irish Coffee is more of an idea than something that can be put down to a an exact recipe, despite the National Standards Authority of Ireland having published a perfect ratio for the drink that I assume someone on the planet has to care about.
Irish Coffee may have the disarming power of a simple and universal appeal, but is that enough to surmount the increasingly obvious idea that mixing stimulants and depressants doesn't have a healthy history of working out?
The Bar: Delicatus (Pioneer Square) is primarily known as a delicatessen that seeks to meld an old Eastern European sensibility to fresh local ingredients. It has a compact, no-nonsense bar, varied enough to rotate a few seasonal cocktails but focussed mainly on accomodating hearty cocktail staples like Bloody Marys and, of course, Irish Coffee.
Delicatus prepares their non-NSAI-standard Irish Coffee with Pangaea Organica grounds via french press, raw cane sugar, Jameson Irish Whiskey and hand-whipped cream. It's a great marriage of a bold blend and a mild whiskey with a fresh, milky blanket to ease it down at your own pace.
The barkeep Michelle wasn't too receptive to comparisons of their hot, steamy goodness to the forbidden canned heart-attacks; certainly there was a gaping chasm in drinkability, but Michelle's qualms with the beverage extended beyond the usual fearmongering. Four Loko and its hyper-processed energy drink ilk go against very central ideas of Delicatus's austere cuisine. Similarly, Delicatus may serve Jaegermeister, but forgoes stocking its frequent partner-in-crime, Red Bull.
Threat to Society: One out of Four Lokos. Even ignoring the fact that Irish Coffee is exponentially more difficult to chug than fellow legal speedballs, there's something about Irish Coffee that seems too familiar to abuse. It would seem that this respectable foe to the human heart and nervous system got that way for its trustworthy non-alcoholic elements.
As the rage against caffeinated alcoholic beverages continues, intelligent discourse might lead to an inspiring place of reason, where we as a nation stop blaming alcohol for adverse effects from all of the other chemicals we force down the throats of our young without a second thought. Perhaps this argument isn't a backwards-minded throwback to prohibition, but rather steps towards a healthier drunk.
However, I doubt my optimism will last through a single Rum and Coke.

Megan's blog is the tip of the iceberg in terms of Megan's love of writing, and her committment to it.
Thank you Megan.
As a child I would write my name in my books – the name I wanted to write under when I was one day an author myself – and pretend that I had written each of my favourite tales.
As a teenager, I would read about authors and want that life for myself. I'd hear them speak at school events and enter a kind of daze that I hoped was a visit to my future.
But, as an adult, I lost it. I lost my dream. I was carried off in a stream of practicality: a stable job, steady income, mortgage and climbing a career ladder. I had to be sensible, I had to grow up. And so I left my childhood dreams behind.
Alas, I never forgot them. They were always with me, ever present as I heard stories of people achieving their dreams. There was always a little voice in the back of my mind saying, 'That'll be me one day'. I would walk into a bookshop and imagine that one day I'd be right there in that spot and see someone buy a book I had written.
It was never a matter of 'if', just a case of 'when'. One Day.
When I least expected it, One Day arrived. I had gone against all my sensible thoughts, trusted my gut instincts, and left my corporate career after the birth of my baby girl, two years ago now. I was staying at home with her and I was bored. Bored out of my brain. I had to do something.
Write. That word kept coming to me. I knew it was now or never, and I decided to give it a shot. It was time to tell people about the dream I had kept to myself – no one, not even my parents, knew about it – for so many years.
I began with my blog. Then I joined Twitter – more to chat with new friends rather than with any long-term 'networking' goals – and found myself making contacts. I started approaching a few of them, and was soon writing for two more websites. Then I sent an article to a print magazine, and had that accepted. It just kept spiralling.
I decided to push my luck, and started thinking about writing books. I was thinking of novels, but whenever I sat down to write my mind would go back to the books from my childhood – to this day, the only books I would list as my favourites. It was that realisation that drew me towards writing for kids.
There have been so many yeses since that first day I began writing. None from publishers – yet! – but a lot of positive feedback and little milestones that make me believe I'm on the right path. A yes from a new friend and now co-author of a yet-to-be-published manuscript included (I imagine it's easier now than ever before to be brave and do things like ask someone to co-write a book with you. I didn't have to call her or talk to her in person and face seeing the 'no way' written on her face. All I had to do was hit the send button on one email. And be stunned to see the word 'yes' come back to me.)
The rejections, though, can threaten to push all those feelings aside. A short email saying 'great idea, but we won't be taking that on' or – worse – a copy of the standard letter sent to all rejected authors, can make me question it all. I wonder if I'm wasting my time, if there will ever be that one big yes I've always wanted.
The time constraints too, with a toddler and paying work and other commitments pulling me in all directions, can be enough to make me want to throw in the proverbial towel. It can be hard work doing it all.
Soon, though, something comes along – a lovely comment on my blog or an email or conversation with a friend telling me they enjoyed reading a piece I've written – that gets me on track once again.

Yes, Condi, You're a Student of History
But that doesn't let you off the hook.
Three weeks ago, as the Israel-Lebanon war was heating up and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was making the first of her halfhearted diplomatic trips to the region, she said the following to reporters on the plane ride:
I'm a student of history, so perhaps I have a little more patience with enormous change in the international system. It's a big shifting of tectonic plates, and I don't expect it to happen in a few days or even in a year.
I missed this remark when it was first reported. (I saw it reprised in the middle of an excellent article about the pitfalls of President Bush's democracy-spreading policy in this Tuesday's Wall Street Journal.) Still, the statement is worth a close look now, because it reflects with glaring clarity something horrifying about this administration's leaders: the wide-elbowed indifference with which they stomp around the globe, their shrugged inattention to the consequences of their actions.
Rice was explaining why the Bush administration wasn't moving more quickly to stop the fighting that had already begun to kill hundreds of people and to destabilize the region. She had recently commented that the mayhem marked "the birth pangs of a new Middle East," and now she was noting that birth pangs—or, in her new metaphor, tectonic shifts—take a while to play out.
Someone might have asked how long it does take to go through "a big shifting of tectonic plates." If not "in a few days or even in a year," then what—in a year and a half, five years, a decade, a century? And does the United States—the one power that could impose a cease-fire if its president so desired—really have to wait until the earthquake dies down before stepping into the fray?
This was not the first time that Rice invoked her school years to shut down a line of questioning. On Sept. 12, 2005, during an interview with the CBS News editorial board in New York, Rice was asked if U.S. commanders made a mistake in letting Osama Bin Laden escape into the Afghan mountains of Tora Bora. Rice replied:
I'm a student of history. We'll really know the stories about this, if we're lucky, in 20 or 30 years when this all plays out. And I think the second-guessing about Tora Bora is just, you know, it's a waste of time, frankly. I think they did it the way they thought they should do it. I don't have any reason to believe that that was anything but right.
On March 16 of this year, at a town hall meeting in Sydney, Australia, Rice was asked how she felt about the dramatic rise of anti-American sentiment under her watch as a result of the war in Iraq. She replied:
I'm a student of history. I know very well that things that seemed like brilliant strategies one day or maybe for one week or maybe for one year or maybe even for five years turned out to be disastrous strategies in terms of history. And I know that strategies that seemed at the time to be fraught with mistakes and fraught with errors turned out to be very good for human history.
She could have added that, in many more episodes of history, strategies that seemed disastrous at the time still seem disastrous in retrospect. But that may have been too awkward to acknowledge.
