Keep the number 38,762 in mind. We'll get back to it.
Widespread national and even international attention to allegations two Steubenville High School students raped a girl last summer isn't fair in a lot of ways.
First, some of what's being said and written - usually in quotes from people protesting something about the situation - amounts to cheap shots against police and prosecuting attorneys at both the local and state levels. And it isn't fair to the community as a whole.
There have been implications that, allegedly because high school football players were involved, some sort of coverup has occurred - that law enforcement officials haven't arrested everyone who should be behind bars.
Nonsense. The cops I know really don't care who you are if they suspect you've hurt a child. If they can prove it, you're in a world of trouble.
But that's the problem. In case some of the protesters have forgotten, we still believe in "innocent until proven guilty" in this country. That's how cops and prosecutors have to do their jobs.
And while some of the behavior linked to the case - in particular a young man's videotaped observations about the rape - is disgusting, it probably isn't illegal.
But let's get to a more important unfairness about attention being paid to the Steubenville case: Except for some among protesters who have visited the Jefferson County courthouse during the past couple of weeks, most of the focus has been on events surrounding the local rape itself.
As upsetting as what happened last August to the teenage girl in Steubenville is, however, attention by the national news media implies this kind of thing is rare.
It is not. Remember that number? 38,762? By one estimate, that's the number of children aged 12-18 who are forcibly raped every year in the United States. That number may be low; some advocacy organizations insist the actual figure may be as much as twice that.
And whatever the number, it doesn't count sexual assaults against children that don't amount legally to forcible rape. It also doesn't count children who, for one reason or another, never told anyone about being raped - or, perhaps, told adults who didn't do anything about it.
In other words, what happened in Steubenville is only part of the story.
What about the fact two high school students are accused of raping the local girl? Again, not unusual. It's estimated that between 15-20 percent of the forcible rapes, with victims of any age, reported in this country are committed by juveniles.
So the real story is this: How is it that some juvenile males think it's all right to rape a girl? How is it that others believe it's acceptable to brag about having watched it happen?
And perhaps most troubling of all, why didn't any of the witnesses do anything to stop the assault? As I've noted previously, cell phones are equipped with more than video cameras. They also are capable of dialing 911.
Why didn't anyone do that?

As Americans celebrated National Physician Assistant Week (Oct. 6-12), Villarreal was feeling especially good about her choices in life as she took a break from seeing patients at the Community Action Health Center, 301 S. Hillside Drive.
Villarreal was spending another day using her education and skills to head off health problems and keep the citizens of Bee County healthy.
Although she was born in Corpus Christi, Villarreal grew up in Skidmore and graduated from Skidmore-Tynan High School in 1985.
Since then, she has been working to achieve the position she now enjoys in the health care field.
As a P.A., Villarreal's duties include the practice of medicine as a nationally-certified and state-licensed professional, under the supervision of a medical doctor.
She performs physical examinations, diagnoses and treats illnesses, orders and interprets lab tests, performs procedures, assists in surgeries, provides education and counseling and makes rounds in hospitals and nursing homes.
Villarreal's fascination with medicine started when she was five years old and her parents got her a plastic doctor's bag from Kmart.
"From then on, that's all I ever wanted to do," she said. "After that, my parents always fostered that idea."
The real education started at what was then Bee County College. She enrolled in the school's X-ray and ultrasonography program and then transferred to Del Mar College.
There, she earned her associates degree in applied science in radiologic technology and diagnostic medical sonography.
She started practicing as an X-ray technician at what was then Beeville Memorial Hospital.
It was during that time that Villarreal returned to BCC to get her basic studies out of the way before moving to the University of Texas-Pan American at Edinburg to start working on her P.A. degree. She completed that in 1996 and worked at various clinics until 2004, when she moved to Naples, Fla.
In 2010, Villarreal came home and started working here again.
Last month, she joined the staff at the Community Action Health Center.
"It's been great," she said of the experience she has had since joining the clinic.
The clinic is available to all area residents. It accepts Medicaid and Medicare patients and those covered by private insurance.
The facility is best known here for providing women with low incomes high quality screenings and diagnostic services for breast and cervical cancer.
"The entire staff is very knowledgeable," Villarreal said. But that knowledge is a must for a clinic that helps patients find the resources they need to get healthy and stay that way.
Villarreal said one resource she would like to see is a clinic pharmacy. The clinic here is one of 12 the Community Action Corporation of South Texas (CACOST) operates in this part of the state.
"Some of the clinics have their own pharmacies," Villarreal said. "I'd like to see that here."
CACOST clinics provide several services in the communities where they are located. Those services include primary health care, school-based health centers, breast and cervical cancer control programs, Title V maternal, child health and dental services and Children's Health Insurance Program community based outreach programs.
The organization also provides Head Start and home-delivered meals in some communities.

David Dunleavy - American Eco Artist, muralist, designer, and sculptor is a leading influential figure in conservation contemporary art. Dunleavy lives in Cape May, NJ and travels worldwide to pursue his passion for scuba diving and spreading his message of our oceans' conservancy. Dunleavy uses his art and murals to raise awareness for the endangered species and our threatened ocean planet. Dunleavy hopes his art will inspire people to educate themselves on how to help protect our ocean planet for future generations. To make a difference, Dunleavy has a goal to paint Endangered Species Murals around the world to inspire people to come together to take action, and become part of the solution to face the challenges of protecting the earth. To date, David has painted 54 life sized and larger than life murals along the Eastern Seaboard from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Marathon in the Florida Keys, the Bahamas Islands, and the largest environmental awareness mural on the continent of Australia at the Melbourne Aquarium. Through life size and larger than life public wall murals and education, Dunleavy is able to spread his vision for a healthy ocean planet to millions worldwide.
A master of detail, Dunleavy works for hours and sometimes months on one painting. He works in all mediums – acrylics, oils, watercolors, graphics and sculpture. He has many diverse styles from marine wild life, tropical landscapes to new age or modern art. David developed a brilliant method of painting with a combination of sculpture and paint applied to canvas with a sound technique, which includes constructing a coral reef so that it looks real to life. With a unique three dimensional quality, the creatures appear to leap off the canvas. His ability to capture light moving through water is unsurpassed and his colors are energetic. He has successfully pioneered an innovative movement called "Primal Art." Inspired by the etchings of prehistoric man, Dunleavy uses elements of nature and pure pigments to create these distinctive fine art pieces.
Dunleavy has achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success with his art. In addition to his well-publicized murals, he has also published over sixty limited edition Giclees. His art has graced many magazine covers, DVDs and has been featured in educational programs and on film. Dunleavy has dedicated his talent for the preservation of our fragile ocean planet and the mysterious creatures that inhabit the earth. He supports many marine conservations organizations by donating original art for auctions. His art can be seen in museum quality limited editions, embroidered and silk screened apparel, ceramic tile products and other gift products.

Marco Scutaro hit a two-run double and Buster Posey drove in his first run of the series with a groundout in the first inning as San Francisco struck early to support Vogelsong.
Matt Cain will start for the Giants against Kyle Lohse in Game 7 on Monday night. Lohse won their Game 3 matchup.

The eye area contains particularly fine and delicate skin that is prone to stress, which is why lines and wrinkles often occur there. The line of Phytomer Eye Products is designed to renew and rejuvenate this area, toning the skin and restoring elasticity. The skin of the eye area is subject to constant mobility as both blinking and facial expressions case those lines and wrinkles to develop. Meanwhile, the skin is also subject to the chemical stresses of makeup, remover, excess oils, dead skin cells and the dirt and airborne pollutants that can build up over time. Phytomer Eye Products are designed to counter act these stresses.

Remoisturized skin loses the fine lines and wrinkles. Using carefully selected botanical extracts and minerals, this suite of products applies their healing properties where they are most needed. Working with the skin, these ingredients restore and tone the skin to give you the alluring eyes you want.

My son is 11 years old. He uses a 29" Mako and also has a 30" XL1. What size would you recommend for a player of his size?
For a player of his size, our bat coach recommends the Bratt Bat Wood Training Youth Baseball Bat (BRATTBAT) in a 29" 40 oz. model.
Do you think an 8 year old could handle this or should we wait a couple more years?
The lightest the Bratt Bat Wood Training Bat: BRATTBAT Youth is available in is 35 oz. This may be too have for an 8 year old. It may be best to wait a few more years.
Trying to decide amongst the three different weights in the 29" length. My son is 11 and swings a 30 inch, 20 oz. How heavy should he go on the Bratt?
You won't want to go too heavy to where he is completely dragging the bat during his practice swings with this Bratt bat, so the 29" 40 oz. should be a good option. It will be heavy enough to serve its purpose and not too heavy that it will create bad habits.
Product Description
Nokona proudly introduces their new partnership with Bratt Bat.

This bat will loosen your hitting muscles all the while strengthening them. Your hands, wrist, and arms benefit the most from work with the Bratt Bat. Studies have been done to prove that this training device can add up to more than ten MPH to your swing. The Lexan plastic tube and hard wood handle used in the manufacturing process makes the Bratt Bat virtually indestructible and one of the safest on-deck training tools. These bats range in size from 29 to 35 inches. When choosing a bat, you should choose a bat similar in length to the bat you swing at the plate. This will help develop a more powerful, quick swing. Hitters of all ages and levels of play are marveling at the difference the Bratt Bat can make to your offensive game. Free shipping!

Tuesday Afternoon News, Sept 4
City Council Rejects Bids For IDOT Property
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars City Council took the action today during their regular meeting to reject all of the submitted four bids for the city owned property located on North Business Highway 75. The property in question is the former Iowa Deparment of Transportation maintenance sheds. The city is asking a total of $50,000 for the one-point forty-four acres of property. There was a difference of opinion from council members as to whether the council should sell the property today. Councilman Ken Nelson suggested the city reject all offers and wait for a better offer.
Listen to
Meanwhile, Rex Knapp and Delana Ihrke both thought the offers were good and asked the city council to consider selling the property.
Listen to
Nelson believes since the property is of close proximity to the recreation trail and to the Floyd River, it may attract a recreational type business.
Listen to
Interested buyers had until August 28th to offer the city a bid for the land and buildings. Two of the submitted bids were for $40,000 and a third offer was for $30,000. The fourth bid was for the amount of $7,500. Councilman Knapp made the motion to accept the bid offered by Wayne Kolbeck for $40,000 with a $5,000 down payment, but the council turned thumbs down the motion by a 3 to 2 vote. Shane Sitzmann, representing the Sitzmann Real Estate Company, and acting as a contractual agent for the city, informed the council members that they have had 40 showings of the property. Sitzmann asked the city officials for clarification as to what is next step?
Listen to
City attorney Joe Flannery informed the city council and Sitzmann that they would be forbidden to make any counter offers.
Gehlen Catholic School Board To Hold Community Information Meeting

Knights of Columbus To Hold Phone-a-thon On Wednesday
(Le Mars) -- For more than 30 years, the Knights of Columbus clubs of Plymouth County have raised money through the means of a phone-a-thon for the mentally challenged residents living in Plymouth County. On Wednesday, the Knights of Columbus will again be soliciting funds. Dr. Jeremy Bollin is one of the coordinators of the annual event.
Listen to
Bollin says the local K-C members hope that you will share your cell phone number with the organization so they can ask for your donation.
Listen to
Bollin says the Knights of Columbus hope to raise at least $48,000 this year.
Listen to
The phone-a-thon will be coordinated from the Knights of Columbus Hall in Le Mars and will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue for twelve hours until 9:00 p.m.
Judge Approves Libertarian Candidate On November Ballot
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A judge says Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson should be listed on the Iowa ballot in November.
Polk County District Court Judge Arthur Gamble says in a ruling filed Tuesday that Libertarians fulfilled requirements of Iowa law to get their candidate on the ballot.
Two Iowa voters last week asked Gamble to review the decision of a panel of three state officials that allowed Johnson on the ballot. The panel says in its decision that Iowa's law isn't clear
in its definition of a caucus.
Libertarians say they held a caucus at the Iowa State Fair to get Johnson the ballot. The challengers say there was no caucus.
An appeal to the Iowa Supreme Court is expected but time is running out. Ballots must be printed by Thursday.
Obama To Return To Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - One day after he speaks at the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama will headline a rally at the University of Iowa.
Obama's campaign announced Tuesday that Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Jill Biden will hold the Friday afternoon rally outside Jessup Hall. A time wasn't announced, but the campaign said doors open at 1 p.m.
Jessup Hall houses the university administration and is located in the center of campus.
The rally comes one day after Obama and Biden are scheduled to speak in Charlotte to the national convention, making the case that they deserve for four more years in the White House. It also comes
during a busy weekend in Iowa City, with thousands of fans arriving for the Iowa-Iowa State football game.
Monthly Economic Survey Shows Businesses Struggling
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A monthly survey suggests that the continuing drought and lessening export demand for U.S. products are among the drains on the economy in nine Midwest and Plains.
A report released Tuesday says August's Mid-America Business Conditions Index remained below growth neutral for a second month. It rose to 49.7 from 48.7 in July. June's figure was 57.2.
The survey of business leaders and supply managers uses a collection of indexes ranging from zero to 100. Any score above 50 suggests growth while a score below 50 suggests decline for that
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss oversees the survey, and he says supply managers remain pessimistic about future economic conditions.
The survey covers Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma and South Dakota.

We're starting to notice a new accessory trend in the tennis world these days: eye glasses. Players on both the men's and women's tours are beginning to warm up to the look. The style is very reminiscent of what racquetball and squash players wear when competing. We're definitely into the sleek, sporty look of these peepers.
Serbia's Janko Tipsarevic and Romania's Edina Gallovits have been spotted rocking these glasses recently.

Not Going South This Winter? – Visit the Library and Escape into Reading!
If you are not one of the lucky snowbirds traveling to warmer, sunnier states this winter, visit the library to escape the cold weather and find a wonderful book to take you away. Adult and teens in sixth grade and up are invited to Escape into Reading this winter for a chance to win great prizes. Each year, Great River Regional Library promotes a Winter Reading Program for more mature readers to add a little fun to the cold, snowy Minnesota months. For every five books read or listened to, participants submit a coupon to enter a drawing for fun prizes. The St. Cloud Friends of the Library has supplied each of Great River's 32 branches with mugs and blankets to give away locally to lucky drawing winners. Upon completion of the program all entries will be submitted for a region-wide drawing to win Nook eReaders. The Annandale Friends of the Library have added a little more incentive for local readers by purchasing two Nook eReaders to give to two lucky Annandale library participants. eReaders are becoming increasingly popular, especially since patrons can download library books from the library website to read. Sign up can be done online or by visiting your local library.
Photo: The beautiful northwoods display to set the mood for the Winter Reading Program was created by local volunteers Megan and Roshalle VanDorp.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what Bob Dylan is saying when he was singing. But during his TV pitch last night on the Super Bowl, the message came through clearly: buy American cars.
The music legend appeared in a two-minute ad for Chrysler.
And like many of the automaker's commercials in recent Super Bowls, it played up the fact that the cars are American-made by Americans.
In the ad, Dylan walks through the streets of Detroit, explaining that the now-bankrupt city made cars and that in turn, "cars made America."
The ad closes with Dylan's raspy voice intoning: "Let Germany brew your beer, let Switzerland make your watch, let Asia assemble your phone. We will build your car."
It was the second of two Super Bowl ads featuring Dylan. The song "I Want You" was featured in the Chobani ad — where a hungry bear rampages through a convenience store to score a cup of the honey-flavored version of the popular Greek-style yogurt.

Trying to install Zimbra to replace Outlook on my work machine.
1. test Yahoo account works fine.
2. Gmail account works fine.
3. Exchange account - can't connect to any SMTP server.
I currently use Outlook 2007 as a IMAP client back to Exchange. I also have Thunderbird installed and it too can send email through my employers SMTP server. The set up that works is very simple - port 25 - no authentication as my employer whitelists IP addresses that can use the SMTP server. I can send emails from both Thunderbird and Outlook - but I can't set up the account in Zimbra because the validation fails on the SMTP check with this error message. I tried it as both Exchange IMAP and a generic IMAP account.
Cannot connect to "SMTP server". Please check host/port and network connectivity.
I've tried two different SMTP servers that I verified as working with a test email from Thunderbird. Neither will pass the verification test in Zimbra.
Any ideas?

BARNESVILLE - It's the battle for the coveted 'Milk Jug' in western Belmont County.
Bordering rivals Union Local and Barnesville are set to meet Friday on the refurbished grass of Shamrock Stadium in a 7 p.m. start.
The Jets and Shamrocks come into their annual showdown with different psyches. The Shamrocks are coming off their first win, a cherished 36-32 victory against Meadowbrook.
"It really feels like there is a monkey off our backs," Shamrocks rookie coach Matt Johnson said. "It felt really good to get that win, especially in the (Dowler Memorial) game."
The Jets, meanwhile, saw their struggles continue. They lost their 21st straight game and failed to score for the second consecutive week. But, coach Mark Cisar contends his team is really close to a breakout performance.
"At times, we look decent and we move the ball, but other times, we don't play with any consistency," Cisar said. "We just can't seem to put it all together. I think we've ran and thrown the ball decently at times, but we've not put it together yet. We need to get first downs, move the chains and not put ourselves in a hole."
Though the Jets have struggled, Cisar was very upbeat about how well his team has stuck together through the trying times.
"We've been really positive as coaches and players," Cisar said. "Our kids have been resilient in their work ethics. They believe in each other and believe that they can win. This is a really good group of kids and something good is going to happen for these kids."
While they've yet to register a point, Johnson observed on film that the Jets haven't been that far away.
"I think against Meadowbrook, (UL) was inside the 5-yard line three times and in the red zone two other times," Johnson said. "They do good things offensively, but they just can't seem to punch it in. I think they'll eventually get it figured out and they're still tough to prepare for because they can operate out of so many formations."
The Shamrocks rebounded from an opening-week dismantling at the hands of John Glenn to win last week.
"We made a lot of improvement," Johnson said. "We had kids who looked shell-shocked in week one because they'd never been in that situation, but we had a good week of preparation and that's a credit to the kids to come back and work the way they did after the first game."
The Shamrocks have won the last two meetings with the Jets after rallying for a 39-20 victory last season. Union Local led 20-7 in the first quarter, but were shut down the rest of the way.
This year's contest is going to come down to big plays. Union Local's offense has traditionally been built on those under Cisar's watch, while the Shamrocks made three big defensive plays, returning three interceptions for scores.
"We need to make a couple of big plays and give ourselves a chance," Cisar said. "Barnesville does a good job of showing different looks and they've got guys coming from everywhere. It's going to come down to who makes the big plays at right time. We need to make a couple, so we can get our engine going."
Union Local's offense is triggered by sophomore Gavin Porter. He's passed for 226 yards and he's been picked off four times.
On the ground, the Jets are led by Eric Dunfee who has 51 yards. He's also their leading receiver with five receptions for 70 yards. Kaleb McDiffitt has 6 receptions for 48 yards, while sophomore Tater Blake has 6 catches as well.
The Shamrocks watched sophomore Collin Wilson return a pair of interceptions for scores last week. David Stewart also had a pick six.
"It would be great if we could rely on that every week," Johnson joked. "We've got a challenge ahead of us this week because Union Local gives you so many looks."
The Barnesville offense is led by Kyle Yaquinta, who stepped in at quarterback. He completed 10-of-18 last week for 139 yards and a score. He's ran for 98 yards and a score. Freshman Isaac McGee was the Shamrocks' starting quarterback coming out of camp, but was injured at John Glenn.
Colton Pritchard is the Shamrocks' leading receiver with five catches for 85 yards. Kyle McIntire has caught four passes for 66 yards and Jacob Anderson has made three catches for 62 yards and a score.
"From watching Barnesville on film, I'm really impressed with their speed," Cisar said. "They made several big plays last week, on both sides of the ball, and they've made some nice adjustments at quarterback with using two guys. They matched up well with Meadowbrook and played well and made good on their opportunities to score."

Holiday tour features historic Penryn home
By: Kathy Maynard Loomis News Correspondent
Loomis Basin Holiday Home Tour, Saturday, Dec. 10
One of Penryn's oldest homes – all dressed up for the holidays – can be visited for one day only during the Loomis Basin Holiday Home Tour. Built in 1880, the Citrus Colony clubhouse is one five local homes featuring holiday décor that can be viewed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 10. An encore performance of last year's most talked about home – Quintessa Farm – is a highlight of this year's tour. This stunning 7,200-square-foot home contains many custom features and every room is filled with holiday decorations that range from fanciful to elegant. Other homes to be featured are a charming 1910 Craftsman bungalow loaded with handmade textiles and quilts; a wooded retreat with an enticing outdoor entertainment area and pool; plus a Tuscan dream home that features an enclosed courtyard, loggia and outdoor entertaining area. This year's event also features a gourmet lunch buffet that includes a sandwich bar, salads, soups, dessert and beverage for $10 with advance purchase, plus a free Holiday Boutique offering musical entertainment, an art show, silent auction and gifts to benefit the students of the Loomis Unified School District through the Loomis Basin Educational Foundation. The 2,600-square-foot Citrus Colony Clubhouse is owned by realtor Leslie Griffith and her husband, Dana, who is an electrician. The home boasts five bedroom, three baths and a pond and vineyard, all on five acres. The granite clubhouse will be decorated in a Scandanavian theme, reflecting the owner's Swedish heritage. The home was much smaller when purchased by the Griffiths in 1993. Their three now-grown daughters, Chelsea Roberts, 25; Ashley Viem, 23; and Anna, 18; all shared a bedroom until the home was renovated. Leslie Griffith explained the home was patterned after one in France. After the original owner died, Joel Parker Whitney bought it and in 1890 converted it to a clubhouse for the English settlers of of Citrus Colony, who immigrated to Penryn to grow citrus trees. The current living room was once the men's sitting room and the upstairs master bedroom was the ladies' sitting room. "The original structure was built with granite from the Griffith Quarry. They had a cricket court in our pasture, did mock fox hunts and held a lot of social events for the club members here," Griffith said. By the mid 1890s an outbreak of malaria, economic downturns, and the fact that the English didn't know much about growing citrus scared most of the colonists away, Griffith said. Sometime near the turn of the 20th century, the clubhouse was sold as a private residence. The home has undergone many transformations in the 131 years since it was constructed. The downstairs bathroom and office are located in what was once a totally detached structure where Citrus Colony members played billiards. The section that is now the modern kitchen was added in the 1890s, but probably wasn't a kitchen because the granite-walled wine cellar under the house used to be the cookhouse. The Griffiths were careful to preserve the authentic style of the home when they added two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs in 1994, and Dana Griffith even purchased a milling machine and used dry kilned cedar for the siding. The Griffiths also restored the vineyard. "When we moved here, there was only one row of vines and I'm not sure they were original. My husband, who makes wine as a hobby, has planted around 250 vines of ten different types of grapes," Griffith said. Dana and Don DuPont, from Rockhill Winery, will hold a wine tasting event in the wine cellar For more information, go to lbef.net.

Press release
Uddevalla Omnibus, on the west coast of Sweden, has purchased five hybrid buses and five ambulance buses from Volvo Buses. All of them will operate on bio-diesel. The vehicles are scheduled to be put in operation in June 2014.
"With the hybrid buses, we will meet the environmental requirements of the future. Our plan is to successively replace all our current city buses with hybrids," says Lars-Göran Salevik, President of Uddevalla Omnibus.
The Volvo 7900 Hybrid has nearly 40% lower fuel consumption and about 50% less exhaust emission, compared with a corresponding diesel bus. Uddevalla Omnibus will be using renewable RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester) as fuel.
"We previously tested one of Volvo's hybrid buses in Uddevalla, with very positive results. We will now specially train our drivers in groups to handle the new buses."
The hybrid buses will be placed in operation mid-June. At the same time, Uddevalla Omnibus will commence operating an ambulance service between Åmål and Gothenburg, using five new Volvo 9700 coaches.
"The ambulance buses offer a high level of comfort and are equipped with such features as disabled toilets," states Lars-Göran Salevik.
Despite the fact that Uddevalla Omnibus has its own workshop in Uddevalla, the company has decided to outsource service and maintenance of the new buses to Volvo.
"The hybrids will require specific expertise, for example, in electro-technology and batteries, which we do not possess. The ambulance buses will be based in Åmål and since Volvo has a workshop there, it is practical that service be conducted by its mechanics on location.

Make Smarter Business Decisions Know What Employees Can Do
As human resources director for Virtual Inc., an integrated management-marketingfirm based in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Ralbovsky is on a mission to push thecompany to the highest level of performance. As a result, she conducts regularand ongoing analysis of clients' needs, surveys the skills and competenciesof Virtual's 38 employees, and then identifies ways to fill in the gaps throughhiring and training. If, for example, the firm needs employees with strong teamworkor communication skills, she will pore over résumés for qualifiedcandidates, or provide specific training to address the requirement. "Today,human capital defines an organization," she says.
More and more companies are subscribing to Ralbovsky's way of thinking. They'redeveloping systems to track skills, typically defined as job-based activitiessuch as using a word-processing program or operating a forklift, and competencies,which typically cover broader professional characteristics such as the abilityto work on teams or think creatively. Increasingly, organizations are usingthese models to make key business decisions centering on recruiting, training,and succession planning.
"By creating a unique inventory of human capabilities, a company is betterprepared to compete in today's business environment," says Tom Kraack,director of the organizational development practice at Unifi Network, a divisionof PricewaterhouseCoopers consulting. In some cases, companies are turning tosophisticated software systems to manage the process. Others are finding thatspreadsheets and old-fashioned paper are sufficient.
Skills inventories took on increased importance after September 11, says IleneGochman, practice director, organization management, at the consulting firmof Watson Wyatt Worldwide in Chicago. "You can see how quickly firms hadto get back to business," she says. "All of a sudden, you need someonewho can speak French, or someone who had been a bond trader earlier in his career."Without a system, Gochman says "you're relying on your memory or the informalnetworks people have." That's fine in an emergency, but to leave peoplein those positions because of who they knew, or the luck of the draw, wouldraise issues of fairness, she says.
No matter what the motivation, skills inventories are more about process thantechnology, says Frank Belmonte, a human resources consultant for Hewitt Associatesin Lincolnshire, Illinois. "An organization must identify its key objectivesand business goals and shape its workforce accordingly." As skills andknowledge become increasingly specialized in today's business world, organizationsthat don't keep up are destined to fall behind, he notes.
Building a skills inventory
To a certain extent, organizations have always triedto get a handle on the talent and skills they have and what they need. But intoday's highly competitive business environment, it's not just a good idea;it's an absolute necessity. A skills inventory, essentially a checklist or databaseof organizational capabilities, can help an enterprise determine whether ithas the ability to produce a next-generation microchip or to market a new foodproduct effectively. When human resources or line managers identify a skillgap -- the difference between where the company is and where it needs to be-- they can funnel workers into appropriate courses or hire applicants bestsuited to the job. HR can also tweak pay and compensation to attract the idealkinds of workers.
Although every organization approaches the issue differently, a managementstrategy for skills and competencies usually revolves around a few essentialsteps. Typically, human resources begins by analyzing the specific skills andcompetencies needed to perform job duties effectively. This can include functionsneeded within a company, such as expertise in a particular software applicationor piece of equipment, or specific behavioral qualities required to interactwith customers and vendors.
|Skillvs. Competency
Once an organization has documented its skills, it can build or buy a systemdesigned to track them. Many small companies continue to use paper or a spreadsheet,while medium and large companies often turn to specialized software programs,including HRMS modules from SAP, PeopleSoft, and Oracle, and human capital developmentapplication providers like Saba Software and SkillView Technologies. "Thegoal is to develop a system that can provide insights into organizational andemployee needs," says Stephen Schoonover, president of Schoonover Associates,a Falmouth, Massachusetts, consulting firm.
At that point, it's up to HR and other departments to design processes thatcan nurture the desired skills. For example, the organization might compilea list of specific job-skill requirements that recruiters can use for hiring,or develop a list of questions to be used during the interviewing process tofind the right people. An organization might also construct a system that providesfeedback to managers and employees about the skills and competencies that individualpeople, departments, and the company as a whole have available.
At Virtual Inc., Ralbovsky has worked hard to develop a matrix that allows herto hire and train for the organization's specific and constantly changing needs.Because the company's clients have diverse requirements -- some are consortiumsand organizations that require specific management services and others are high-techcompanies looking for marketing assistance -- a "cookie-cutter approachsimply won't work," she says. "We have to constantly assess how wecan satisfy a client." Ralbovsky initially developed the skills and competencieslist by consulting with senior staff, and she continues to tweak and refinethe process.
Because the company is small, she is able to maintain the list on paper. Atstaff meetings and through written communication to employees, she emphasizesimportant traits such as effective communication skills and the ability to workon a team, build strong interpersonal relationships, solve problems, and resolveconflicts. She also has designed a performance-review process to help supervisorsand managers evaluate employees on their level of proficiency for various skillsand competencies.
Leveraging the power of skills and competencies
Once an enterprise has developed a system for measuringskills and competencies, it can put the data into action and realize an arrayof benefits. For example, many companies now offer corporate universities ore-learning programs with dozens, if not hundreds, of different classes. Employeescan venture online and instantly know which courses, skills, and competenciesare required to receive a promotion or to change job tracks within the organization.It's then possible to sign up for the appropriate course online and know one'sstanding at any given moment.
At the same time, the company can track job skills and overall learning andknow which employees, teams, and departments are up to speed and which needadditional training or instruction. The organization can also determine whethertraining, succession planning, and other initiatives are on target and thentweak hiring and compensation to fit current needs. "Today, organizationsmust adjust their business strategies on a near real-time basis," saysLisa Tesvich, director of PricewaterhouseCoopers' Unifi Network. "Withoutthe right information, it's impossible to stay in touch with internal needsand those of clients or customers."
At Ford Financial, which has about 20,000 employees scattered across the globe,core leadership training is an essential piece of the skills-and-competenciespuzzle. The division of Ford Motor Company has constructed a sophisticated skill-and competency-based learning program, which is available through the companyintranet. Employees can view information about various jobs within the firmand determine which skills and competencies they must master to achieve theirgoals. At that point, it's possible to focus learning appropriately, says BarbaraStebbins, manager of corporate learning and development at Ford Financial inDearborn, Michigan.
The company had its first glimpse at the power of a competency-based approachin the early 1990s, when Accenture (formerly Anderson Consulting) interviewedmore than 2,000 employees and helped Ford Financial catalog its various skills.Over the next five years, Ford Financial developed more than 80 courses, butdidn't bother to link them to the skills database. "Suddenly, we realizedthat we were sitting on top of a gold mine," Stebbins says. "By mappingand organizing all the information, we could build a sophisticated system thatcould improve organizational performance."
It was no easy task. Given the hundreds of identified skills and varying needsin 36 different countries, connecting skills to actual work requirements demandedcomplex thinking and analysis. Ford Financial called in Larkspur, California-basedMindjet, which systematically mapped every skill set used by the company's employeesaround the world. Three months later, Mindjet had mapped the company into threecore businesses consisting of 15 knowledge domains, 80 functional areas, andnearly 800 separate skills.
As a result, Ford Financial can ensure that employees gain the skills requiredto improve their job performance and careers, while also improving overall companyperformance. The system runs from software developed in-house; an increasingnumber of employees are using it, and they give it high marks. Ford Financial'snext objective is to evolve from a skills-based approach to a competency-basedsystem. "We have built a road map for the future," Stebbins says.
Putting it all together
Hewitt's Belmonte notes that while human resources shouldbe at the center of the equation, an effective skill- or competency-based programrequires input from across an organization, including finance, operations andmarketing. "Then it's up to HR to build the templates to make the processwork, and partner with IT to implement the systems."
Because each organization's needs are different, it's usually unwise to letsoftware applications define the process, Belmonte adds. Using a database orsoftware program to track skills inventories and make information readily available,however, can pay dividends -- particularly in larger organizations. "It'spossible to update information and have the system evolve with the organization."
When all the pieces come together, competency management can create an enterprisethat is nimble and smart, and one that achieves a distinct competitive advantage."Once an organization knows its strengths, weaknesses, and needs, it canmake sound decisions and optimize its investment in human capital," saysCabot Jaffee, president and CEO of AlignMark, a Maitland, Florida, consultingand productivity management provider. "Managing skills and competenciesis at the foundation of any successful business."

Item # GIR0405
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Helmets in stock than that.View Similar Products
Giro Saros Helmet $0.00
To us, the hallmark of a Giro design are its three central vents. And, not coincidentally, you'll find this feature on the Giro Saros Helmet. It was originally part of the Prolight design, but nearly every subsequent helmet has revolved around the three prominent central holes. To us, this trident conveys stability and balance. And while Giro builds on older designs, it never adds baroque touches, instead opting for little practical flourishes. So, in this tradition, the Saros helmet hearkens to the long-gone days of the Eclipse, while moving forward into the contemporary.
With the Saros, you receive trickle-down technology like the Roc Loc 5 --Giro's easiest to use and most comfortable retention system to date. Also used in Giro's top-of-the-line Aeon helmet, Roc Loc 5 adds more adjustability, while removing 40% of the weight from its prior iteration. So, what's different? For starters, the indexed Micro Dial on the back lets you adjust the tension to perfection with a two fingered twist. It's really that simple. Additionally, the Three Position Bracket allows 15mm of vertical adjustment in the retention basket -- enough to comfortably fit any head shape. But, what's comfort without ease of use? Giro facilitates quick donning of your casque with clever strap management. The retention basket has strap holders to ensure that they'll be right where you want them by the time the helmet falls into place.
For protection (that is what a helmet does, right?), the Saros features an in-molded polycarbonate shell that, when combined with the expanded polystyrene liner, creates a structural skeleton that's abrasion-resistant for any high speed slides across the pavement. Giro has also ensured that it aids in the absorption of any direct high-speed impacts. And going a step even further, the Saros also has Giro's Roll Cage technology. Don't worry about looking for it -- you'll never see it. It's a net of tough nylon that's been molded into the foam liner of the helmet. Basically, this 'web' keeps the helmet from breaking apart like a rotten ice chest when you have a bad crash. The Saros has 23 Wind Tunnel vents to channel airflow directly to your head in order to keep you as cool as possible, regardless of high temperatures.
The Giro Saros Helmet is available in the sizes Small Small (51-55cm), Medium (55-59cm), and Large (59-63cm) and in the colors Black/red, Black/blue, Matte Black, Matte Black/yellow Livestrong, Matte Titanium, and White/silver.

comfortable, excellent bang for the buck
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought this for my son who felt his helmet wasn't comfortable although I think he was out growing it a bit. Either way he has been riding this helmet the last several months and has not complained once, which is saying a lot since were talking about a 12 year old. He says it feels very comfortable on and doesn't bother him even on his longer rides. And of course I wouldn't put him in anything that wasn't safe, I've owned (and crashed) several Giro helmets and my brain is still in tact.
Giro Saros Helmet
A helmet you can wear all day
size M. probably one of the few cycle tourists who wears a helmet in the 3rd world, but I don't feel too bad doing it.
Awesome cheaper performance helmet
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A helmet that feels solid but still light and breathable like the ionos or prolight. I turned to this after breaking the side straps on an ionos and will probably not go back. Doesn't quite disappear while running or rollerskiing but close ...
Does anyone have the weights specs on...
Does anyone have the weights specs on these? I would be looking at a Medium, but I'm sure other folks would be interested in the full weight spec chart.
They are listing the medium at 279g. I imagine the S and L will be right in that range as well.
Second Giro
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned another Giro with similar retention and rocloc. Fully impressed, hardly ever notice it on my noggin, looks good, weight barely there. Plenty of ventilation, I have a very large oval head and the giro feels good.
Highly Recommend This Great Helmet
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This helmet fits very comfortably and offers great protection. I was just in an accident with a car yesterday. I was thrown off my bike and the helmet took the impact just like as it was designed. I had no head injuries and I am going to purchase the exact same helmet as a replacement. I would highly recommend this helmet because of its excellent fit and protection.

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was skeptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I received an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

i was so pleased to be able to buy this product again: it's difficult to find in the uk [...].i love the subtlety of this scent, and in the few days since i received it have had several compliments. it's warm, earthy tones seem particularly suitable now that the weather is getting colder. it lasts all day but is unobtrusive even when first applied. i'd really recommend it for men who like warm, natural, masculine aromas.

In the last few days, two major articles have caught our eye – again describing the pros and cons of this economic boom in our neighborhood.
A front-page story in Wednesday's Corpus Christi Caller-Times noted that lawmakers were updated that the Texas oil and gas industry is "strong and getting stronger."
One expert said the boom may last 25 more years. He pointed out the job growth is slowing ("hiring appears to be flattening out, at least for the time being"), but he mentioned that in 20 years, "this will be seen as part of the golden age."
However, the San Antonio Express-News lead story in Sunday's edition turned the spotlight on "flares in the Eagle Ford wasting natural gas."
Part of a four-part series, it started: "Since the Eagle Ford Shale boom began in 2009, flares burning across the countryside have fouled the air with pollution, caused claims of illness and wasted millions of dollars' worth of natural gas."
Having witnessed these giant balls of flame lighting the countryside at night, we've wondered about the effects on nearby residents – although the cattle don't seem to mind. Apparently some humans are not happy about the situation, though.
"The amount of gas is horrible," said a nun who lives in South Texas and speaks for those who believe they've been harmed by rising levels of pollution. "I would use the word disastrous."
She pointed out that the flares are emitting plumes of black smoke that indicate the flames are releasing air pollutants, adding, "It's an environmental tragedy. There are lots of people who bought nice, quiet country places who now find that same quiet environment destroyed."
What a shame that almost all of the natural gas cannot be contained and shipped via pipelines to the refineries. Even if the United States doesn't convert the majority of its vehicles to run on CNG or LNG soon, one would think global economics would drive the energy industry someday to supply that fuel to Europe and other markets.
Until that time, the light of prosperity will shine brightly in the night sky atop thin shafts burning what the oil companies consider a worthless byproduct.
Unless natural gas prices rise, the big rigs will likely stay to our north. When they do come this way, we hope they bring with them royalty checks, good wage jobs, increased tax bases and other benefits, but not the visual, noise and air pollution that has tormented others.

SeaVee 430 Sport ExpressBy Capt. Bill Pike
Show-off Friendly
This customizable fishboat is fast, versatile, and very maneuverable.
I'm a show-off of sorts, truth to tell. And recently, on a warm, sunny morning in Miami, as I sauntered across the parking lot of Grove Harbor Marina en route to my test boat du jour, SeaVee's 430 Sport Express, I noticed a certain verve holding sway, almost a sure sign of a few boathandling theatrics to come. After all, I was already aware I'd be sea trialing a pod-drive version of the 430 (there are inboard and outboard versions as well) with Volvo Penta IPS600s. And, over the years, I've gotten pretty good at handling this type of boat dockside, if I do say so myself.
As soon as I'd stepped aboard, I saw how thoroughly tricked out the 430 was, especially in terms of fish-fighting gear. SeaVee's Ariel Pared seemed totally psyched about all the big-league options. These included a welded-aluminum tuna tower from Pipe Designs of Miami (complete with with buggy top, full steering station, FLIR thermal-imaging camera, and antenna for an optional Dynamic Positioning system from Volvo), plus triple-spreader Rupp hydraulic outriggers, a giant Pompanette cockpit fighting chair, and nifty Miya Epoch remote-controlled electric teaser reels built into the underside of the hardtop. "What we are shooting for with so many choices here is great customizability," Pared explained, "so our customers can outfit the boat as either a hard-core fishing machine, or a family cruiser, or virtually anything in between."
Over the years I've learned that checking out an engine room before the sea trial keeps the sweat factor to a minimum. So, with the flip of a switch, I raised the 430's bridge deck via electro-hydraulic actuators thereby revealing a relatively cool, elbow-roomy ER beneath with centrally located mains and, outboard of them, a couple of fuel tanks fabricated of epoxy-coated welded aluminum, reportedly 1/4" thick. According to Pared, SeaVee positions the 430's diesels (connected to pods by jackshafts that run astern under the cockpit) and fuel tanks over the Longitudinal Center of Gravity (LCG) to guarantee balanced performance at speed and nix trim issues related to various stages of loading.
Engineering was tops, for the most part. Electrics were chased, tie-wrapped, and labeled with artisanal care. Engine mounts were massively secured on steel beams atop robust fiberglass engine bearers. A Glendinning Cablemaster (with RF antenna for remote operation) was to starboard, against the forward firewall, and the general appearance of the place was clean and uncluttered. This latter feature was in large part because many of the boat's ancillaries (air-conditioning units, sanitary system, etc.) were in an under-sole "machinery room" up forward beyond the steering console.
I had only two complaints. The first stemmed from the way the soundshield-enclosed genset had been installed—in a small, cramped, maintenance-resistant compartment under a cockpit hatch. The Racor for the genset looked particularly hard to get at. And the second had to do with the condensate I'd noted on the port side of the trunk cabin's roof when I'd first looked the boat over a few months before during the Fort Lauderdale boat show. While Pared theorized that excessive heat and humidity had caused the phenomenon, I'd suggest adding insulation to the air-conditioning ductwork laying against the underside of the cabin's roof, inside the boat.
"How about a ride?" I inquired, once Pared and I had toured the interior. It's a carefully finished place, with one head and one stateroom. There's a convertible lounge/dinette with privacy curtain in the saloon area. The master, on the port side aft, has a big comfortable 54" x 81" berth, and the galley sports a couple of Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer drawers, an Elkay faucet, granite countertops, and an optional pull-out drawer-type Kenyon induction stove.
In less time than it takes to wolf down a plate of Bahamian conch fritters, I was sitting behind the 430's Edson steering wheel with the mains fired up, using the fingertips of my right hand to test both the Volvo binnacle engine control to starboard and the Volvo joystick just abaft it. The lines stretched with responsive immediacy every time I bumped the mains into gear. Then, after Pared had cut us loose from the dock, I began walking the boat to port, well into the fairway, with a sense of anticipation.
Yeehaw! Using the joystick, I spun the boat speedily around in a complete circle within her own length. Then, with even more speed, I spun her again. My next move entailed zooming backwards across the fairway toward the channel, followed by a similar maneuver, only this time going away from the channel. Then finally, I almost returned us to our slip, walking the 430 to starboard with show-offy exuberance but stopping her abruptly at a distance off of a measly four inches. "Now that was cool!" I exclaimed, before walking the vessel back into the fairway for the run offshore.
Conditions at sea were mellifluous, with waves widely spaced and cresting at three feet or less. The average top speed I recorded was 38.7 mph, speedy but a little low perhaps, given the over-spec, seemingly under-propped revs we were getting at that velocity. Visibility over the bow was good throughout the rpm register once I'd employed the EVC trim tabs. Sound levels were a bit high, particularly toward top end, most likely because our engines were almost directly below the helm station, and the switches and instruments on the dash were sensibly laid out.
Just one aspect of open-water handling needed improvement, in my opinion. Hardover turns seemed extremely tight, thereby engendering considerable inboard lean, a characteristic that might be partly attributable to the comparative narrowness of the 430's hull (some models from competing manufacturers are beamier by as much as two feet) and the tower's added top-hamper weight. I'd suggest modifying the IPS software to slightly reduce the turning radius of the IPS drive units, at least on models equipped with towers.
Serious piscatorial pizazz was showcased in the final minutes of the sea trial. Out near Biscayne Channel Light, a popular baitfishing spot, I engaged the optional Dynamic Positioning System, and we held station and heading almost as if we were aground. And then I engaged the Volvo Sportfish Mode and simulated a fish-chasing backdown that was so responsive, so agile, and so knock-your-socks-off exciting that I have no trouble coming to this conclusion: SeaVee's IPS version of its 430 Sport Express is not only fast, customizable, and show-off-friendly dockside, she's even more show-off-friendly when you back her down on a fish.

The norwegian melodic metal-beast known as SHOT AT DAWN had its mutated birth in the year 2005. Now with fresh blood in their ranks, they are stronger and heavier than ever before. This five-headed beast is ready to conquer the world, one stage at a time.
Refining what they established with their debut album, «Sic Vic Pacum Para Bellum», their new call to arms has been given the evil moniker of «White Trash Metal Brigade». It has been met with unbridled enthusiasm from critics, getting high scores all around. The concert celebrating its release, was reviewed by Metal Hammer Norway, and received a 9/10.
As a live act, SHOT AT DAWN, is something to be feared. Having played support for a plethora of international giants (Black Dahlia Murder, Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies, etc) , and a number of big concerts on their own, they have proven themselves as one of the most exciting and brutal live acts around. Expect blood to be spilled, or at least beer.
Put on your thrash-vest, your Exodus-shirt and your Shot At Dawn-High Five-cap and join the White Trash Metal Brigade. Now!
High Five!

Bainbridge, GA - Bainbridge Public Safety officers traded in their badges for shopping carts on Thursday.
The patrolling officers hit the aisles of Walmart to give three families a chance to shop with a cop.
The boys and girls were each given $125 to buy Christmas presents for their family members.
The parents were also treated to grocery shopping so they can prepare a nice holiday meal next week.
"It's just an enormous, wonderful feeling," said Eric Miller, the Bainbridge Public Safety Director. "Words just can't express how excited we are and grateful to the community for all the support they give us throughout the year so it's nice that we can give back."
After the kids filled their carts with goodies, they headed to lunch then back to Bainbridge Public Safety Headquarters.
That's where they wrapped their presents and even got a special visit from Santa.
The folks of Walmart also donated a $100 gift card to each of the families.

The exhibition … and Europe will be stunned was shown in the first time in Polish national pavilion at the 54th International Art Exhibition in Venice in 2011 and was a great success. The video installation by the Israeli/Dutch artist Yael Bartana (Kfar Yehezkel, Israel, 1970) consists of three films: Mary Koszmary (2007, collection Van Abbemuseum), Mur i wie?a (2009, collection Van Abbemuseum) and Zamach(donated by Outset to the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and the Van Abbemuseum, 2011.) Together they form The Polish Trilogy, centred on the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP) that calls for the return of 3.3 million Jews to Poland.
The exhibition will open on Saturday 24 March at 3 pm, and at 4 pm there will be opening speeches by former director Rudi Fuchs and current director Charles Esche.
The films revolve around the activities of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland (JRMiP): a political group calling for the return of Jews to the land of their forefathers. The films are overflowing with the narratives of the Israeli settlement movement, Zionist dreams, anti-Semitism, the Holocaust and the Palestinian right of return. Apart from realising the film trilogy, the artist has established the foundations of a new political movement.
Alongside the films will be an archive display, produced specially for this exhibition that explores the historical and aesthetic references that appear in the films. Elsewhere, manifestos of the JRMiP will be available to take away whilst visitors will also be encouraged to sign up to the movement.
The films
Mary Koszmary (trans: Nightmare) opens the trilogy. Slawomir Sierakowski, a young Polish intellectual and leader of the JRMiP, addresses a near empty Decennial Stadium in Warsaw calling for Jews to return to Poland. Deploying the structure and sensibility of a propaganda film, Mary Koszmary's stirring rhetoric addresses contemporary anti-Semitism and xenophobia in Poland, the longing for the Jewish past amongst Polish intelligentsia and the Zionist dream of return to Israel.
The second film in the trilogy Mur i wie?a (trans: Wall and Tower) takes place on the former site of the Warsaw ghetto. The film sees members of the JRMiP come to the Polish capital to build a kibbutz, at once embedded and isolated from the surrounding community. The film's combination of heightened realism and emotive soundtrack plays out the inherent conflicts of settlement movements – whether in a past, present or potential future guise.
In the closing film of the trilogy, Zamach (trans: Assassination), Bartana puts the dream of a multinational community to the ultimate test. The film shows the funeral ceremony of Sierakowski, the leader of the JRMiP, who has been killed by an unidentified assassin. The viewer is left in a state of uncertainty over the status of the JRMiP: Is it pure hallucination, an artistic project, or rather a concrete and constructive possibility for the future of Poland, Europe and the Middle East?
Director Charles Esche on Zamach: "This work is the last in a trilogy of films that tell the story of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland. The presentation of the three works in the exhibition ...and Europe will be stunned at the Venice Biennale last year was widely celebrated. The Van Abbemuseum had already acquired the first two of the videos for our collection and with this final piece we now have the complete work. The Polish Trilogy is an impressive and ambitious work of art that is bold in both content and form. This is a unique opportunity for the Dutch public to see what, in my opinion will become one of the key works in our collection."
The exhibition is accompanied by the publication A Cookbook for Political Imagination. It was made for the Venice Biennale, and is a manual of political instructions and recipes, delivered by more than 50 international authors.
The second publication, …and Europe will be stunned – The Polish Trilogy, includes an extensive sequence of colour stills from the trilogy, transcripts of the speeches in the films and newly commissioned essays by Ariella Azoulay and Adi Ophir, Boris Groys, Joanna Mytkowska and Jacqueline Rose. It is published by Artangel, Ikon, Birmingham; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek; Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw and Van Abbemuseum.
This second publication can also be ordered online in our webshop...

Spitting in a vial to find the past
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
I knew of course, that my father, Stanley, was born in 1911 in New York City and lived in Rockaway most of his life.
In fact, the 1930 census shows that the family lived at 345 Beach 69 Street and had been there at least seven years at the time. His sisters were born in 1908 and 1913.
There, however, in startling newsprint for all to see, in the birth announcements in the New York Times was a short item – "Born to Charles and Anne Schwach of 174 Fox Street, Bronx, on March 12, 1920, a daughter, Shirley."
I held the printout in my hand for some time before emailing all the relatives that I knew.
I found out from another cousin, who remembered hearing it from her grandmother, that Shirley had lived for 29 days, passing away from a mysterious illness on April 10, 1920.
I plan on going to the New York City Municipal Archives later in the summer to get a copy of her death certificate and find out why she died.
To my mind, the mystery is that my father was about nine years old when she died, and had to know about her; yet in all the years we lived together and all the years we had a close relationship, he never once mentioned an aunt that I never knew about until I saw it in the New York Times many years after his death.
Shirley, I have since found, is buried in a plot right next to Samuel in a Queens cemetery.
I found out lots of other things in my quest.
My database, or Family Tree, as they call it, now encompasses the details and detritus of the lives of more than 350 people.
When my grandson turned 15 earlier this year, I printed out an Ancestor Tree for him that showed him his ancestors on both his father's and mother's side back to great-grandparents. Even a cool teenager was amazed by the detail of where he came from and who came before. He has since become more interested in history and says he wants to teach it when he finishes school. My granddaughter, just entered Grade 2, had to do a family tree for homework. I printed out one for her going back five generations. Now, she wants to know more.
That's what it's all about.
It's more than names on a family tree, but finding out who came before you and the stories that make the people on that tree real to future generations.
