For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
In this volume, the Migration Policy Institute has gathered some of the leading European thinkers to offer insightful counsel and, wherever possible, solutions to Europe's immigration challenges.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This book analyzes approaches, strategies, and best practices from EU Member States that could contribute to a sustainable integration policy. It thus provides European, national, regional, and local decisionmakers with instruments they can draw on in establishing a framework for integration.
This policy brief explores the often neglected migration management potential of "regularization" or "legalization" programs, arguing that properly conceived and carefully executed "earned" regularization programs can not only prevent the number and flow of unauthorized migrants from building to unacceptable levels, but can also set the stage for smarter use of enforcement resources and improvements in labor market and social policy development.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
The regularization, or legalization, of unauthorized immigrants has become a central, if controversial, policy tool in many developed countries' struggle to manage irregular immigration. Because of the sheer size of irregular immigration in the advanced industrial world, regularization programs have become a significant source of legal workers and, in many instances, of prospective citizens.

Seems history has taught nothingFebruary 12,2013
Seems history has taught nothing
Mr. Stuart Lindberg, your letter dated Feb. 9 to the editor of this very left-leaning newspaper was so on the mark. Unfortunately, I fear you are like the lone reed blowing in the wind. Since this paper, more often than not, basically publishes articles and commentary that lean toward left thinking we are not given the opportunity to hear much about how this country is heading toward socialism. Socialism is a word nobody wants to use, referring to what is going on in this Nation of Sheep. However, if anyone is paying attention, like you are, it is becoming clearer that we are very slowly losing our freedoms; as you so well put it, embracing the collectivist ideas ... for the good of society that were the cornerstone of the Soviet Socialist Republic. You can see how this paper and most news media are supporting this trend. It is very frightening, to say the least.
What also bothers me is that those who dont agree with these thoughts, e.g., the likes of Mr. Danziger, cartoonist, as well as many of the folks who lean to the left, find it necessary to call those with opposing views names and make fun of them. Shame on them. I just want you to know that there are probably many more people, like myself, that understand where you are coming from. Thank you for expressing it so well. I also would like to say thanks to all the other folks that have sent letters of this ilk to this paper. I, for one, am paying attention. I only hope that more and more people will pay attention to what is going on in this country and do what they can, where possible (the polls), to turn it around. If not, God help us all.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 21 December 1831; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18311221-TC-AC-01; CL 6:74-75.
4. Ampton Street Mecklenburg Sqr / London 21st December 183[1]
My Dear Alick,
Having an opportunity, as Jane is writing to Mrs Richardson1 under a frank, I will steal a minute or two, and send you my greeting. I have received a letter from Jane of Scotsbrig, wherein among other news I hear that you are busy with your Catlinns speculation; actually preparing to break ground there. To it with all might! Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, see thou do it quickly.2— She told me also that you were all well; which I hope and trust still continues true.
In return I will now tell you (what perhaps you have heard already) that a Letter has come from Jack, and must be a week ago at Scotsbrig. He is in the once Capital of the World, in Rome itself: quite well to appearance; and every way getting on well. Many inquiries he makes about you among others; all which I strove yesterday to answer in the longest and closest Letter my hurry would permit me to write.
For ourselves, I am sorry the accounts are not wholly so pleasant: in this one respect chiefly that my dear little Wife does not seem to take with London; but continues still weakly, tho' not in bed, yet some days (as this) in her room. However, I reckon her now to be getting stouter again; and hope next Letter to tell you that all is well. Nay, at worst, I believe nothing else but a sickly turn could be expected after the toil and uproar she underwent in getting ready for her departure from Scotland.
I myself am in my usual state of health and heart, or in the latter respect rather better than usual. The world's mad whirl does not confuse me; nor its midnight darkness blind me: daily and hourly I say to myself in respect of it: Go thou thy way, and I will go mine.— I have finished a strange Article for the Edinr Review; tho' whether Napier dare print it or not, is still uncertain to me. We shall soon see: I wish he may for several reasons; he shall then have more of the like, and both the world and I may be the better for them.— There is still not the faintest outlook for Teufelsdreck, more especially till the Reform Bill get out of the way: indeed Literature, like all earthly things seems to have got into a state in which it cannot continue; either it must improve, or altogether disappear from the world. Meanwhile, one had need to be wary, for the road is stony enough, dark enough. However, for the present I have quite a choice of work, quite a superabundance: no fewer than I think four new applications have been made me within the last ten days. They are mostly of the Dud sort, it is true; yet the offer made respectfully, the wages tolerable: on the whole, the best outlook one c[an] count on in these circumstances. On the whole, let us fear nothing, so long as we are wise. Do thou [work] diligently, Boy; let me do the like; each in his [way, ho]w disheartening soever: above all let us think ever that God's eye is upon us, to pity, to help us. This is the everlasting Truth; tho' so many forget it and deny it.
Wull Brown writes me a most confused Letter abou[t] 'Masterton Ure Esqr' and 'East Linbrigford' and his woes [and] cares: I have actually sent a Note over to Masterton Ure,3 and if I get any answer, will very speedily communicate it to poor Wull. My own idea is that the 'lease business' is not yet completed; and that Wull by his eating anxiety has eaten himself into an astonishment at 'hearing nothing,'—where there was no room for astonishment. Poor fellow!— If you have any opportunity send my kind thanks to Jean for her Letter, which both of us here thought excellent in itself and still more so to us; also tell her that I will not long delay answering it, and her.
My Goody, who lies on the sofa [here] by me, sends her love to you and your household from her Namesake upwards. Take a sheet, and write me soon at large. Take care of yourself and of your goings, and fear nothing on Earth or under it.
Finally I promise that we will smoke a peaceful pipe together again ere long; and that together or apart we shall always love each other. God bless you, Dear Brother!
Ever your Affectionate /
T. Carlyle
Remember us kindly to my Uncle John,4 if you see him.

I'm trying to learn the delta method in probability but couldn't quite get the hang of it. For example: trying to solve a problem from the book statistical Inference :
Consider a random sample from $\mathrm{Beta}(\alpha ,\beta)$ distribution $\alpha > 0, \beta > 0$, use delta method to find approximate distribution of $T_n = {\bar X_n}(1- {\bar X_n})$ and find the approximate distribution of ${\bar X_n}$ when $n$ is large.
My try:
a. By delta method,
$$\sqrt{n} [f(x) - f(\mu)] \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{\longrightarrow} N(0,\sigma^2[f'(x)]^2) $$
Here, $f(x) = x(1-x)$ and $f(\mu) = \mu(1-\mu)$
Updated try(after @EMS comments)
$\implies \sqrt{n} [x(1-x) - \mu(1-\mu)] \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{\longrightarrow} N(0,[1-2\mu]^2)$
$\implies \sqrt{n} [\log(x(1-x)) - \log(\mu(1-\mu))] \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{\longrightarrow} N(0,2 \log (1-2\mu))$ $\implies \sqrt{n} [\log(x(1-x)) - \log(\mu(1-\mu))] \stackrel{\mathcal{D}}{\longrightarrow} N(0,\mu))$
b. For the second one I think we should just use the central limit theorem to say the mean follows normal distribution with mean = 0 but what is the variance? Is it 1?

MegaDroid Project Studies Smartphone Security
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have built a self-contained, Android-based network to study cyber disruptions and help secure hand-held devices.
According to the news release, the researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have connected 300,000 virtual hand-held computing devices running the Android operating system in order to better understand large networks of smartphones and find ways to make them more reliable and secure.
The project, known as MegaDroid, is expected to result in a software tool that will help model similar environments and allow others to study the behaviors of smartphone networks.
A key element of the MegaDroid project, according to computer scientist John Floren, is a "spoof" Global Positioning System (GPS). According to the press release, the researchers created simulated GPS data of a smartphone user in an urban environment. "The researchers then fed that data into the GPS input of an Android virtual machine. Software on the virtual machine treats the location data as indistinguishable from real GPS data, which offers researchers a much richer and more accurate emulation environment from which to analyze and study what hackers can do to smartphone networks," Floren said.
"MegaDroid primarily will be useful as a tool to ferret out problems that would manifest themselves when large numbers of smartphones interact," said Keith Vanderveen, manager of Sandia's Scalable and Secure Systems Research department. Vanderveen said Sandia also plans to use MegaDroid to explore issues of data protection and data leakage.
Watch a video of Sandia's researchers discussing and demonstrating the MegaDroid project.

|Journey Stories Exhibit
A Smithsonian traveling exhibition titled, "Journey Stories" will debut on June 21, 2014. This exhibit highlights how transportation and migration helped to build the United States, how it has changed us as a nation, and how our mobile world looked to travelers along the way. The exhibit also demonstrates our collective personal heritage and how everyone has an interesting story to tell.
The Museum will also be showcasing 12 original railroad travel posters from our own collection. You will get to see how transportation history is more than just trains, boats, buses, cars, wagons, and trucks. You will learn how the development of transportation technology was largely inspired by the human drive for freedom.
The "Journey Stories" exhibit will be on display for 3 months in the Cab Forward corridor. After leaving the Museum, it will travel to six other museums throughout California.

I always have a major time time in Rio. I haven't experienced one of those horror stories you hear about that can take place in the city. Though while walking with Raphael Mendonca yesterday from Fasano Hotel back to Ipanema Plaza, these street urchins were cleverly trying create a web around us surely to rob or harm us. My guard is never down in Rio (or any other city for that matter) and being acutely aware of what was going on I shook a finger at one of the would be culprits signaling to him that this was not going to happen—they scattered.
Anyway, my last couple days in Rio were a mix of full days at the shows, and late evenings at restaurants near the hotel having a drink or grabbing a late night meal. Of course Zaza was on the menu and gang of us descended on the kitschy dining spot for apres show drinks. Boodah is a new cool sushi spot on Rua Texeira de Melo, 30 that opened just a block off the beach and the sushi is really good, the crowd super trendy and the owner is a laid back Paulista who when I asked if this is the beginning of a franchise, said no, he wants that anything he touches to have a soul–i guess no franchise. Lenny Neimeyer didn't have her usual blowout at her Lagoa compound, instead she opted for an intimate gathering at Londra Bar, I took a pass. That's because the night before on Monday, Victor Dzenk's party (see Party Page photos) at the new Copa Bar at The Copa Copacabana Palace Hotel thoroughly did me in. Not because I drank myself to the ground like a college student but because it's been a wild three weeks of traveling, sleeping little and working loads. So much so that I had to consult a doctor about my worn out self, and the diagnosis was indeed exhaustion from little rest.
I spent my last day in Rio with a short trip to the beach to say goodbye to the editors who were staying on a day longer and then headed straight to the Fasano rooftop where Paula Mello, Fasano's press doyenne is always kind to hook up my rooftop access if I'm not staying at the hotel. It was a lovely repose. I'm now filing this dispatch en route to Los Angeles via Miami only to turn around to go to Johanesburg at the crack of dawn tomorrow. I pray the beds on South African Airways are as soft as the clouds in the skies.

A couple's fight to staytogether
- 31
Thu 19th Dec, 2013 in Features
Christmas is meant to be a time to celebrate with loved ones, but for Matthew Hynd and Ali Choudhry there's a dark cloud of the unknown hanging over their heads.
Ali now faces deportation because according to the Australian Government, nearly four years building a life together and a civil union isn't enough to classify their relationship as legitimate under immigration guidelines.
On the 8th of January, when Ali should be celebrating his birthday with love ones, he will be using the day to say not only farewell to the love of his live Matthew, but also the life in Brisbane they have worked so hard building together. On February the 14th they have their four-year anniversary, but they may be very far away from each other by then.
The pair have spent over $15,000 on lawyer fees and visa filing charges in the hope to prevent every transnational couple's worst nightmare. What's even worse is that deportation would see Ali sent back to Pakistan where he faces the fear of life imprisonment for being an openly gay man.
The couple have completely exhausting their savings, and have sold everything they have of value in hope that Ali's Visa application would be accepted. One immigration agent even advised Ali that should just marry a woman.
With the threat of deportation now very much a reality, the pair have turned to crowd sourcing platform Pozible to raise the needed funds for an application to the Migration Review. In a prime example of the community coming together and looking after its own, within six hours enough people were touched by their story that they they raised enough funds for their application.
Same Same caught up with Ali and Matthew to get a bit more of their story.
How did the two of you meet?
Ali: As with all great modern romances we met online, in February 2010. I was studying in Australia and Matt was working with the New York State Department of Health. Over the next few months we spoke on the phone, texted and Skyped – which is harder than it sounds because of the 14-hour time difference.
In August of 2010, Matt came on a holiday back to Australia where we were able to finally meet in person. We knew right then and there that it was meant to be. After a lot of thought, Matt quit his job and moved to Australia in December 2010. On February 13, 2014 we will celebrate our four-year anniversary.
So what has your journey together been like and what lead to this point?
Ali: I came to Australia from Pakistan on a student visa. I was enrolled in a Bachelors of Science studying Zoology at the University of Queensland. In January 2011, our house in St Lucia was destroyed by the floods. A few weeks later Matt found out that his house had also been destroyed by floods in the USA. We figured this was the Universe's way of telling us that we starting our new life together with a very clean slate. Unfortunately our problems began a few months later when we received an email from Immigration asking if I was still in the country.
Matthew: Unknown to us, Ali's visa renewal paperwork was being sent to the destroyed house and even though we were having all our mail forwarded, somewhere along the line the papers got lost. At that point, since both the original paperwork and the appeal paperwork had been sent our next course of action was to file a application for a partnership visa.
Fast forward two and a half years and were still waiting on a decision even though partnership visa typically only take six months to be approved. Unfortunately our application was rejected, and our most recent appeal directly to the immigration minister was denied, partly because "(we) do not consider that you are in a long-standing relationship with your sponsor". Because of this Ali will be deported back to Pakistan (his country of birth) even though he was raised and lived in America.
How did it make the two of you feel when the immigration system did not recognise your relationship?
Ali: I think the biggest surprise has actually been receiving advice from Department of Immigration official to marry a woman. I would like to clarify that he said this before he knew I was gay but after he knew I had a partner.
Just the same, this isn't the type of advice he should have given out. We didn't consider this as an option because I identify as a gay person and am in a committed relationship. Not only would marrying a woman be fraudulent, but I couldn't live with myself knowing I had lied.
With the threat of deportation, how are the two of you coping?
Ali: When I first received the letter that my case had been denied, I was actually thinking more of Matt. I received the letter on Friday and we had a surprise birthday planned for him on the Saturday (even though his birthday wasn't till the 18th). I kept it all to myself to protect him and at least let him have that little bit of happiness. It's all really poetic, really… I think.When I finally told him on Sunday, we were still both in shock and not really reacting except for bursts of tears between not feeling much.
After launching our Pozible campaign and receiving overwhelming support, we think that we can actually cope with this situation. We have filled out all our paperwork and are planning on dropping it in to immigration today. It has been a real community effort.
So to answer your question, at first I was feeling protective; then we were devastated and shocked; and now we are hopeful.
It took less than six hours. Were you surprised by all the support? How does it make the two of you feel that in the time of need your community got behind you?
We were very surprised. We knew that between the two of us we had a very large support network, but we also knew that it was very close to the holidays when budgets are tight all around. We were expecting to reach our goal but not as quickly as we did.
Even with the appeal, Ali's work rights will be refused for the average of 487 days that it takes the Migration Review Tribunal to look over the appeal. Although they've reached their aimed goal, people can still continue to help with the campaign as any money raised over the $2,594 goal will go towards living expenses for when he is no longer allowed to work.
We are very humbled and thankful to everyone who supported either financially by donating or emotionally messaging or calling us, or by supporting the campaign by simply sharing it.

To earn reaccreditation, the Sterling College Athletic Training Education Program completed a self-study addressing how the program satisfies over 70 national standards and objectives. The process of self-evaluation took a year as the Athletic Training department poured over curriculum and practicum requirements to make sure it met the CAATE standards. Vice President for Academic Affairs, Dr. Gregory Kerr, congratulated the department for its "tireless efforts and commitment to quality."
The Athletic Training Education Program also endured an on-site visit from the CAATE where administration and faculty answered questions on the classes and practical experiences a student undergoes before completing the athletic training program. Administration, faculty, and staff also answered questions about the curriculum and student expectations, while students were quizzed on their knowledge and patient interaction. Additionally, local partners of the ATEP program were inspected for adequate practicum facilities.
The CAATE commended Sterling College's athletic training program on their family-like atmosphere, teamwork, and caring nature of the students. They noted the camaraderie of the administration, faculty, staff, and students as one of the program's strengths. Also mentioned was the students' compassion for their patients, embodying the vision of Sterling College to develop servant leaders. Pete Manely, the director of athletic training, said of the comment, "We like to teach kids how to take care of other people's hearts."
The CAATE standards are sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the National Athletic Trainers' Association. Entry-level programs certified by the CAATE teach rigorous academic content and procedural knowledge. Upon graduation, students to take the Board of Certification test to be licensed athletic trainers. Graduates from Sterling College know they are ready to face this national test.

New Reviews of Leonidas of Sparta: A Peerless Peer
1 comment:
- lisa Goff said...
I have just finished reading the second in the Leonidas trilogy "Leonidas of Sparta: A peerless peer."
I loved it! I can't wait until the next one to see how it pans out.
I enjoyed the way the story gently guides you through the conditions, culture and political corruption of that time. It flowed from the first book to the end of this one. I was impressed by the subtle way Leonidas, himself, battled his view on the system he is a product of. He is proud of the Sparta way but questions it at the same time. They say it takes 3 generations to make a change and this novel sort of backs that up by not suddenly changing but starts with questioning the life we lead thus planting the seeds of change. The references to the class system that has been echoed through the ages were put across with expertise and understanding of that time and unlike most historical novels, tells it from all sides. Absolute perfection!
If you have not read it yet then you are missing out on an eye opening angle on ancient history. The research is excellent and so is Helena's style.
Thankyou, Helena, for a brilliant read and hurry with the final part.

This past weekend was my alma mater's Homecoming Celebration. It was nice to see old friends and familiar faces. Even if I wasn't necessarily chummy-friends with someone, still nice to see an old classmate healthy and doing well for themselves. This same weekend my sister went to a HomeGOING Celebration (funeral), and she said it was a celebration indeed of the life of a much loved family member. It made her realize how important it is to love each other and cherish the bond we have as a family, no matter where we go in life or where we come from.
Always remember to take the time to nurture the relationships, friendships and even acquaintances you have before, during, and after the "homecomings or homegoings" that life brings. Keep in contact with your friends and family; love on each other; cherish the memories; make new ones. Never forget to love, live, and laugh.
Time flies so quickly (for instance, in 9 weeks or so it'll be Christmas!), so enjoy everything as it comes.

If you were driving in the neighborhood of Orchard Park, Modesto around seven o'clock Tuesday night, you may have noticed a circle of people standing around a corner of the park under the shade of the trees and thought, What are they doing over there? Some of us brought lawn chairs, one of us brought a blanket to share, but most of us stood with our kids or our dogs.
It was the first "meet & greet" of the Orchard Park Neighbors, and we were all just talking to Christy Beffa and two other members of the Modesto Police Department about our crime and traffic concerns. We started out as a Facebook group that didn't really take off, and then relocated to nextdoor.com after their website was mentioned through Love Modesto.
Actually, many there already knew each other from a prior Neighborhood Watch group whose meetings had lapsed years ago (before Facebook, and well before nextdoor.com!), and Tuesday night was a welcome revitalization and expansion of their existing group.
Nextdoor.com allows you to invite your neighbors by mailing out postage-paid postcards for you. They start you off with 100 postcards, and 40 every month after that. You can use the postcard message they've already prepared, or you can modify it to suit your neighborhood, or mention an upcoming event like the one we just had. They also have a tool that will create event flyers you can print out and hand out to your closest neighbors--in person, preferably.
One person who could not make it to the event was very appreciative that we are able to share on nextdoor.com a picture of the "Quick Reference Numbers" handout we received from the Modesto Police Department. We are also able to plan future events (National Night Out is on August 5), report crime problems, recommend great local businesses, get help finding the owners of a lost dog, and so much more.
Do you know your neighbors?
We only knew our neighbors on the right (looking out our front door) and not very well. Our excuse: All our other neighbors are renters that don't stick around very long.
This wasn't our first Love Modesto, and I don't remember how, but I remember being encouraged to join or start a Neighborhood Watch group through Love Modesto in 2013, probably through their Facebook page. I think they were encouraging everyone to join the Art of Neighboring movement (side-note: I recently read the book) and mark our houses on the map there.
Then the girls Ariel Castro kidnapped had escaped--their neighbors never knowing they were in his house all those years. I don't have any reason to believe any of my neighbors is an Ariel Castro, but I began to think, Am I doing my part as a neighbor? People used to know their neighbors, used to say hello, make eye contact and smile, wave as they drove by. Now we are in "the zone" until we trigger the garage door to open up and let us in to our bat caves and trigger it again to shut behind us and close off the outside world.
So mid-May, I marked my house on the Art of Neighboring map and emailed the Neighborhood Watch contact person at the time (Christy Beffa is the new one) and she said there wasn't anything active in my area. Introvert that I am, I started a Facebook group at the end of May, printed out invitations to join it, and mentioned it on Modesto-related Facebook pages and groups (my favorite is "You Know You Grew Up In 'MODESTO' When ???????????). It was a start.
Isn't it ironic that Modesto does events like Love Modesto, but most of us don't even know our own neighbors? Check out these stats from this past Spring's Love Modesto Day:
- 4,000+ volunteers
- 14,000+ volunteer hours
- $126,000+ in volunteer hours donated (minimum wage)
- 60+ churches
- 20+ schools
- 68 projects
- 5 apartment/home makeovers
- 27 parks, trails and creeks cleaned up
- 25 non-profits benefitted with service
- 3 projects benefitting local food banks
- 6 retirement/convalescent homes loved
- 3 projects benefitting soldiers
- 4 projects benefitting the homeless
Imagine if we were that "there" for our own neighbors?
A year later and we still hadn't really met our neighbors, but we still "Loved Modesto" by helping clean up Savage Middle School. I know a lot of other projects got along very well, but we were pretty much busy working on our own with the people we already knew.
We totally missed the party downtown--everyone was going out to their projects just as we were arriving (unfortunately, I don't have a thing for being on-time). But it was good to do that for the school, and we didn't do it for the festivities or the social interaction.
Still, there was an uneasy feeling that we should have felt and expressed more warmth for these people who all got together to love our local school. Thankfully, Love Modesto was making improvements on getting neighbors connected through nextdoor.com so that our love for Modesto could soak into our neighborhoods throughout the seasons and not just happen one day out of the year.
We joined nextdoor.com, and the postcards they sent out for us (and our neighbors as they joined and began inviting their neighbors) proved much more effective. I also responded to an invitation for neighboring training put out by City Ministry Network's Marvin Jacobo.
At a leadership meeting for my church (Redeemer), my pastor passed out a block magnet similar to the one shown here, and we began trying to contact our neighbors, taking walks and talking to those we would come across.
We took it slow and let people get a feel for things on nextdoor.com, set a date for a meet & greet, met Dave and Wendi Vukovich (the captains of the original Neighborhood Watch group surrounding the park), and waited for June 24 to arrive.
I feel really good about what happened in the park Tuesday night. We have very friendly neighbors with very real concerns. It was good to hear them be able to express those concerns to the Modesto Police Department, and to shake their hands and return their smiles.
I don't want to tell you all the awesomeness of nextdoor.com--I want you to go join it and check it all out for yourself. Invite all your neighbors, encourage them to invite theirs, and let your love for Modesto spread into your neighborhoods all year long. It won't happen over night, but who has time for it to?
If you are a little or a lot freaked out by connecting with your neighbors because you are an introvert, hey--so am I. I highly recommend a book I'm reading, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Won't Stop Talking by Susan Cain, recommended by my pastor. See Susan Cain's TED talk here.
Who knows what our neighborhood will look like when the next Love Modesto Day roles around, April 18, 2015? The first thing that comes to mind is that maybe all of our neighbors will do a LoveMo project together? :)
Get started loving your Modesto neighbors by joining nextdoor.com. Then visit LoveOurNeighborhoods.com for even more information.
And thank you to Love Modesto for the Day, and Love Our Neighborhoods for making it last. :)

It is almost exactly 70 years since I flew solo for the first time in a Stearman trainer plane in Ponca City, Oklahoma. I have been recording my memories of my four years in the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, including the pilot training I had in America as part of the 'Lease-lend' arrangements UK had with USA. Memories are triggered by random contacts with names, places, music, photographs. They are 'wild echoes flying'.

The good thing about ladies who've been around the block: they have a full personal history to pull from. This hat-and-tote set ($98; dvf.com) is done in a vintage Diane von Furstenberg print, originally created when the fashion icon was still bopping around Studio 54. It's the perfect size for travel and rolls-up for easy storage, making it ideal to bring empty, leave full (with souvenirs and must-haves bought on vacation, of course.)

College Hockey:Jutting Honored by USA Hockey
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — USA Hockey today named Minnesota State's Troy Jutting its 2003 National Coach of the Year.
In August 2003, Jutting coached the U.S. Under-18 Select Team to its first-ever gold medal at the Under-18 Junior World Cup in Piestany, Slovakia. The team registered a perfect 5-0-0 record, including two victories over Russia, as well as handing seven-time defending champion Canada a 4-3 loss. Jutting is in his fourth season as the men's head coach of Minnesota State. During the 2002-03 campaign, he was named the WCHA Coach of the Year, leading the Mavericks to a 17-game unbeaten streak during the regular season, a second-place finish in the WCHA regular-season standings and a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
"Last year, Troy was able to take an exceptional group of players and, in a short time, mold them into a team that was able to capture USA Hockey's first-ever gold medal in the Under-18 Junior World Cup," said USA Hockey's Coaching Education Program director Mark Tabrum.
Also recognized was former BU forward David Quinn as USA Hockey Developmental Coach of the Year. Quinn is part of the U.S. National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor. The Volunteer Coach of the Year is Leo Bronston of Onalaska, Wis., involved in the Wisconsin Amateur Hockey Association for nearly 15 years.
The three USA Hockey Coaches of the Year have also been nominated for the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) Coach of the Year in each of the categories. Coaches are nominated in all sports represented within the USOC family.
The five finalists in the National and Developmental categories and the winner of the USOC Volunteer Coach of the Year title will be honored May 1-3 at the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Complex. The USOC National Coach of the Year and USOC Developmental Coach of the Year will be announced during a May 2 dinner at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colo.

We have these rules:
- Can't quote answer to more significant figures than original data.
- Error quoted to one significant figure unless first significant digit is a one. In which case quote error to 2 significant figure.
But with original data to 3 significant figure, I get the answer 13.15(6).
i.e. 13.15 +/- 0.06
How do I quote this to 3 significant figure without breaking the rules?
If I round the error to 1, I still have to have a trailing 0:

Last Wednesday with a 13-1 vote the Los Angeles City Council decided to show their outrage towards Arizona's illegal immigrant Senate Bill 1070 by limiting business interactions with the state. The Los Angeles City Council's ban towards Arizona consists of limiting city travel to the state, as well as limiting future contracts with Arizona based businesses. The city of Los Angeles's ban on business contracts could potentially affect $8 million of possible transactions for the state of Arizona.
Arizona's SB 1070 illegal immigration law becomes effective July 23, 2010 allowing police officers to search any individual they feel might qualify as an illegal immigrant. Opponents of SB 1070 believe the bill will inevitably led to racial profiling of Arizona citizens and residents. The Los Angeles City Council resolution sponsor for the city ban against Arizona was led by City Councilman Ed Reyes, along with City Councilwoman Janice Hahn.
This past Wednesday Arizona Corporation Commission commissioner Gary Pierce informed Mayor Villaraigosa that if the Los Angeles City Council continues their ban on Arizona then Arizona will retaliate by cutting off LA's electricity supply from their power plants. One-quarter of Los Angeles' electricity is supplied by Arizona's power plants so if Arizona cuts off its electricity supply to Los Angeles the city will face severe blackouts. Although Mayor Villaraigosa is brushing off Arizona's threat, it remains it a possible reality for the city of Los Angeles.

Check out her first tweet. So badass. "I'll take it from here". It's right up there with the Terminator's "I'll be back". And will you check out President Clinton's shout out to her?! That's pretty awesome too!
The guy and gal she's thanking were the ones who created the hilarious Texts From Hillary on tumblr. Former US First Lady\Former Secretary of State\Former Senator got a healthy sense of humor.
Does @Twitter have a family share plan? Great to be here with @HillaryClinton & @ChelseaClinton. Looking forward to #tweetsfromhillary.

Here's a video shot by an American lady working in Kuwait. She's not a military worker, so she lives off base and be out and about in Kuwait like a normal foreigner. She works for a company that does business with the American Military in Kuwait and not married to a Kuwaiti, so her point of view is the closest to an average American as you can get.
The video here offers a nice glimpse into how an American would live in Kuwait. Just like a typical Kuwaiti, she goes to The Avenues mall on weekends. She speaks very positively about local women's sense of makeup and fashion, how shopping here is excellent, and what she would normally wear when going out in Kuwait.
I liked the video, it showed how Kuwait is really like. Lots of international shops, very normal dress attire (minus the hot shorts and tube tanks), and the abundance of American and international restaurants.
Here are some of her words about Kuwait (I just pasted a few short paragraphs, you can check the whole thing [here]):
First of all they are VERY accepting of American culture and lifestyle, for the most part. NO as a woman I don't have to be fully covered. We just have to be mindful and respectful. So sure I can wear a skirt or a short dress and they really cannot do much to punish you, but you just have to be willing to deal with the awkward stares lol but it's really not as strict here as you may think it is.
The cost of living here is quite expensive, the Kuwaiti dinar is almost 3 and a half times more than 1 US Dollar. The Kuwaiti Dinair also beats the Euro, so Kuwait is FAR from third world living, contrary to what most might believe.
As for the demographics here, Kuwaiti's are surprisingly more like the minority here. There are tons of Filipinos, Ethiopians, Somali's, Egyptians, Nigerians, Brits, Americans, Indians, Pakistani, and other races here as well. It really is quite a nice mixture of people
Did I tell you how much American culture is accepted here?! They have everything we have and much more: Krispy Kreme, Chili's, PF Changs, Applebee's, Buffalo's, McDonald's (of course) and ALL of them deliver.
I also love how the culture here is so beauty obsessed. Makeup artistry, plastic surgery and all things beauty are all the rave here. People are always looking for the next best thing, we have everything state of the art with beauty and cosmetics. Which makes the makeup artist like me fit right in

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald is one of America's top 20th century novels, described as the epitome of American Literature. The character of Mr. Gatsby is the perfection of the cool, always poised, never phased rich men of leisure.
The novel is a great short read, and is set in the roaring 20′s when extravagant parties and spending was at its widest. The trailer makes the novel look more dramatic and fast-paced than it really is, but it also makes the novel look even more fantastic. If you haven't read the novel yet, then try to read it before the movie comes out next month.

The Iranian government is planning to sue Hollywood over Oscar-winning Argo, because they say the film is an "unrealistic portrayal" of their country, state media reported Tuesday.
According to an Associated Press report, several Iranian news outlets, including the more liberal leaning Shargh Daily, said on Tuesday that French lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre is in the country discussing with officials how they might go about filing the lawsuit. Whether Warner Bros., Ben Affleck or other parties associated with the film would be the target of such a suit has not yet been made clear.
The AP says the government's decision to explore litigation comes after a group of Iranian cultural officials and movie critics screened the film for a closed audience at a Tehran theater late Monday.
After Argo won best picture at the 2013 Oscars in February, hard-line Iranian state media was awash with criticism – taking particular umbrage at the fact that first lady Michelle Obama presented the award.
"In a rare occasion in Oscar history, the first lady announced the winner for Best Picture for the anti-Iran film Argo, which is produced by the Zionist company Warner Bros," Fars News said at the time. [source]
Argo is this year's Oscar winner for best picture. Its story is about the rescue of American diplomatic hostages during the 1979 hostage crises.
Let's hope the Iranians don't win this ridiculous case. 50 diplomatic hostages were captured from the American Embassy in Iran and held captive for a year and a half between '79-'81. Argo tells the story of how some of them were rescued (with the help of the Canadian and British embassies in Iran), by pretending to make an American movie in Iran as a decoy plot to rescue the hostages.

Janet Jackson married her Qatari boyfriend Wissam Al-Mana in a secret ceremony last year. ET reports this short statement from the secretly married couple:
"The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy. With love, Wissam and Janet".
Janet has a fancy for secret weddings. The last time she did that, no one knew of it till she got divorced 9 years later.
The couple have been dating for a while now, you can check their pics [here], [here], and [here]. There was some talk last month of Janet perhaps getting a half billion pre-nup if they ever divorced.
Congratulations to the happy couple, and kudus to Mrs. jackson for getting Wissam to marry her. Let that power and respect spread to other couples in our region, may they too make honest men and women out of their dating partners. Let them put a stop to the love them and leave them scenarios.
Seriously, congrats to the new couple.
Btw, this pic is their official wedding photo.

Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. It's the time of year when all those cool and entertaining commercials air. Companies compete for the best commercial, and Milk Mustache is no exception. The "Got Milk" campaign is airing its first ever SB commercial this year, and we got an early glimpse of it right here.
There's also an extended version of the ad that runs at about a minute. The commercial stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I think he's lost all his cool when he started to unnaturally and so disgustingly beef himself up. That's what I think of the commercial too, especially the extended one. Hence the title: "Silliest SB commercial".

Kuwait participated in the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington DC yesterday, the parade is held annually in remembrance of US veterans. I found a mention of this on an American Blog , and they were nicely surprised to see the Kuwaiti flag and how we still remember what Americans did for our country and our freedom:
There was also a Kuwait float, thanking Gulf War veterans. You know, the ones that don't get a lot of credit because of the shortness of their war. Well, here's some folks who were kind of glad that the US military stomped through the way they did.
Actually, I was quite impressed by the amount of foreign military showing up to thank the American military that died in their countries fighting for them. It's especially surprising given the amount of people who say that no one ever wanted us there. Somebody's got to be wrong, and I only have photographic evidence for one position. Just saying.

Guys aren't supposed to like romantic movies, with their fantasy scenarios, Prince Charming heros and sentimentally cathartic endings. But truth is, guys do enjoy them, so long as they include down-to-earth characters, bittersweet self-sacrifice (the kind that often precludes happy endings) and the occasional gross-out joke. Here are 15 such films, ones that men can watch without wincing – even as their wives and girlfriends are reaching for the Kleenex box.

Sunday xx August,
In which Harry awaits the arrival of
the Weasleys, who arrive by
Floo powder and must blast their way out of the blocked-off fireplace.
The twins drop some toffees, then
Floo back to the Burrow with Harry's trunk. Just as Harry is about to
leave, Dudley eats one of the
toffees and grows a huge purple tongue. Harry leaves
Mr. Weasley to sort it out as
Uncle Vernon
begins throwing ornaments.
Interesting facts and notes about the text of this chapter:
This chapter features Harry's second trip to the Burrow (the previous
visit having occurred the summer before his second year), hence the
We (and the Dursleys) learn a little more about travelling by Floo powder.
"I hope you told them to dress properly, these people," he
snarled at once.
Harry wasn't bothered about
what the neighbours would think
Normally Uncle Vernon
would have asked what car Mr. Weasley
drove; he tended to judge other men on how big and expensive their cars

Characters returning in this chapter:
Dursley, Dudley
Dursley, Petunia

Characters mentioned in this chapter:
(unnamed) Arthur's contact at the Floo Regulation Panel
Settings and locations introduced or returning in this chapter:
number four, Privet Drive
Settings and locations mentioned in this chapter:
the Burrow
Exceptional character moments:
Arthur, who notices how little
the Dursleys care about
Harry's departure. Compare the
lack of so much as a "goodbye" from either
Vernon or
Petunia to
Molly's hugs and fussing about
socks and bag lunches, for instance.
Vernon, whose first
question is about what the
Weasleys will be wearing,
and who tends to judge other men by what their cars are like.

Floo Network
items and devices, magical
cloak, invisibility

Memorable lines:
The idea of being taught consideration by a man who had just blasted away
half his living room wall seemed to be causing him intense suffering.
Strictly British:
The action of this chapter takes place the day before the
Quidditch World Cup -
the Sunday that the Weasleys
collect Harry from
Privet Drive.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Police say a fight on board a central Pennsylvania school bus was so out-of-control that an officer had to use a stun gun to break it up.
State police say the fight on board a Central Dauphin School District bus happened Tuesday afternoon and involved five male students.
Trooper Tom Pinkerton says school officials tried to intervene, then a state police trooper. He says all attempts to so break up the fight failed so the trooper used a stun gun on the most aggressive participant.
No charges have been filed against the students but Pinkerton says the investigation is continuing. District officials say the students could be expelled.
Central Dauphin School may just have the next boxing champ . . ..
Anyone see Bob Hagan that day? Just sayin'....

CANTON- On a day that comes around once every 100 years, Steubenville Big Red and Youngstown Cardinal Mooney locked horns in a high school football game worthy of the occasion.
When it was all said done on 11-11-11, Mooney escaped with a 24-22 victory thanks to a Connor Durina 30-yard field goal with just five seconds remaining on the Fawcett Stadium clock.
The victory moves the 8-3 Cardinals into next week's Region 11 championship game against Dover. Big Red drops the curtain at 11-1.
Durina's kick finished a fourth quarter that the fans in attendance Friday won't soon forget.
Big Red entered the final 12 minutes clinging to a 16-7 lead. Roosevelt Griffin cut into that advantage when he sprinted 49 yards for a touchdown. Griffin would fumble on the next Cardinal possession but the Cardinals recovered from that miscue a few plays later when Marcus McWilson picked off a Marcus Prather pass. His return gave Mooney a first and goal at the Steubenville three.
Griffin plunged over for a yard away and Durina added the extra point to give P.J. Flecko's club a 21-16 advantage with 4:37 left.
Reno Saccoccia's club, however, wasn't through. With Prather hitting four of six passing attempts, the Big Red moved 78 yards to retake the lead. The drive culminated when Evan Westlake made an outstanding grab in the back of the end zone. Luke Smith's kick put Steubenville up 22-21 and set the stage for the controversial finish.
After a P.J. Quinn pass fell incomplete, Big Red was nailed with a 15-yard penalty for alleged helmet-to-helmet contact. Mooney later converted on a fourth and seven, setting up a first down at the Steubenville 20. Griffin was hit for a loss and appeared to the loose the football. However, he was ruled down by contact.
The officials flagged Big Red for another 15 yards, this time for a personal foul. Apparently, the flag was not dropped for anything actually done in the course of action. Instead, Big Red was penalized for holding on to the football following the no fumble call.
Mooney's game winning field goal came three plays after that call.
"I want to congratulate them on their last drive," Saccoccia said. "I'd like to congratulate our players on a great game and a great year. I thought we had the fumble and I'm not sure what happened on the personal foul."
Mooney scored on its initial possession, marching 72 yards in eight plays. The touchdown came on a 24-yard pass from Quinn to Farragher.
Big Red knotted things at seven early in the second period when Prather found Westlake from 30 yards away. The scoring toss came as Prather rolled to his right and threw back to his left.
Steubenville got its first lead of the evening just before the half as Jo Jo Pierro bulled in from a yard out. His run capped an 88-yard drive, 80 of the stripes coming via the air. Prather hit on four straight finding Pierro, Matt Petrella, Pierro again and LeShawn Luke.
The only score of the third period (a Big Red safety) came when Manard Reed tackled Quinn in the end zone. A great punt by Smith pinned Mooney back at its one-yard line.
"It was one of those games where momentum kept swinging back and forth," Fecko said. "We ran into field position issues in the third quarter but we were able to flip field position in the fourth quarter. When you look at the penalties, we gave us some big yardage; it was nice to some yards back during the last drive."
For the night, Mooney was flagged 10 times for 70 yards and Big Red drew 11 for 85.
"Offensively, we couldn't move the ball on the ground, so we got everything in the air," Saccoccia added.
"We had to run the ball enough to keep them honest."
Big Red finished with just 34 rushing yards on 27 trips. Through the air, Prather hit on 19 of 32 for 285 and two touchdowns.
Mooney had 305 total yards (204 on the ground and 101 via the pass). Griffin ended with 150 yards and a pair of scores.
"Our kids came up with a beautiful drive at the end of the game," Saccoccia said. "We played great defense the whole game. It was just one of those things."
Big Red forced Mooney into three turnovers (an interception by TeShawn Luke after a huge hit by Najee Murray and fumble recoveries by William Houst and L. Luke.
"I have been the head coach here for 29 years and I have been involved in some great games," Saccoccia continued.
"I'll never forget this team because of the way they left two a days as a very average team. They ended the season as real men with intestinal fortitude, dedication and a love of the game. I am never going to forget these seniors.
"They did a great job. I want to congratulate them, congratulate the coaches. I think I have the best coaches in the state. Our seniors stepped up all year, they led us all year. They gave a great senior effort tonight and we gave a great team effort. It was just a tough loss."

text: Wow! I love this! The focus on the flowers and the blur in the background is very nicely done. And I love how the flowers just seem to pop out, not because their in the foreground, but because of their colour. The white and spots of pink stand out so strongly against the dark background. The whole photo just looks so melencholic and sad but its just so stunning. Good job!

The Sensational Nightingales
God Is Not Pleased
After more than 50 years, The Sensational Nightingales – gospel's most fabled quartet – is back with a warning that it's time to get right with God. Their remarkable new album, "God Is Not Pleased," is performed and produced by legendary Nightingales Joseph "Jo Jo" Wallace, Horace Thompson and Richard Luster. Weeks before this album's release, the "Gales" became the first group inducted into the American Gospel Hall of Fame, signaling their pioneering status in gospel history. Read More
Track Listing:
- 1. God Is Not Pleased
- 2. Almighty Hand
- 3. Tis So Sweet
- 4. The Way To Heaven
- 5. Keep Going On
- 6. We Are Our Brother's Keeper
- 7. Morning Train
- 8. The Blood Of Jesus
- 9. This Little Light Of Mine
- 10. Life's Railway To Heaven
- 11. My Brothers And Sisters
- 12. Come, Sinner Come
The message that Jesus is the way to redemption, forgiveness and personal change is brought forth in the album's ominous title cut, "God is Not Pleased," to its traditional, uplifting black anthem, "This Little Light of Mine." "God Is Not Pleased" packs a dozen moving songs that bring scripture to new musical light – including "We Are Our Brother's Keepers", "The Way To Heaven" and "Come, Sinner Come" (all composed by the group's major songwriter Jo Jo) and "Keep Going On" (by Horace). Together, Jo Jo and Horace also have arranged five traditional gospel gems. The album is rounded out by three strong selections by Charles Johnson, including the title cut.

The Intermec SR61TXR is designed for inventory management, picking, shipping and receiving, cross-docking, work-in-process, and pallet tracking applications. It eliminates the need for multiple scanners and substantially reduces the total cost of ownership. With the SR61TXR, companies can effectively address their current data capture needs while ensuring built-in readiness for tomorrow's 2D bar code and image capture warehouse management requirements.
In the warehouse, forklift operators who are equipped with an Intermec vehicle- mount computer such as the CV30 or CV60 can rely on the SR61TXR's auto focus technology to seamlessly transition between scanning objects up close to scanning pallets located more than 15 meters (50 feet) away.

Intuition is perhaps the most every day and commonplace of psychic abilities. Every person has some degree of these abilities which can be used to help others. Some people have very strong powers, but others have latent ones which need to be hones in order to be used. However, before you do anything, you will need to know what psychic abilities are out there and which ones of these you could possibly have. Here are some of the most common psychic powers explained:
Basic Psychic Abilities
Clairaudience: This is an ability with which you can hear messages from your spirit guides and angels. These are usually heard telepathically, but some psychics are also able to hear these messages through their ears.
Clairvoyance: This is an ability through which you can receive visual messages through what is often known as 'third eye'. Clairvoyants may also be able to receive visual impressions from the higher powers and guides.
Clairsentience: This ability is one through which you are able to experience the energies and emotions around you. You can simply touch someone and feel the emotions they are experiencing. Clairsentients are also often known as empaths.
Intuition: As discussed earlier, intuition is one of the most common of the psychic abilities. Those who have a highly developed sense of intuition are able to receive messages from their higher powers. There are several types of intuition such as medical intuition which can be used to treat medical condition.
Higher Psychic Abilities
Automatic writing: This ability allows you to perform divine writing so that you can write down the wisdom imparted to you by higher powers. You also gain a higher consciousness and can communicate with angels and spirit guides regularly with relative ease.
Channeling: Channeling is the ability to receive messages from the higher powers or from people who have moved on to another world. You can simply channel the energies that surround you and deliver the information that is passed on to you. Most psychics, who use this ability, usually pass this information verbally.
Extra sensory perception: This is an ability that allows you to receive information beyond your five senses. There are the five known senses, and some people can receive information from spirits and guides through their sixth sense, or extra sensory perception.
Dowsing: A dowsing tool is required to use this psychic ability. A dowsing tool such as a pendulum is usually ideal in such a situation. Dowsing is usually used for locating specific resources such as metals, water or lost items.
Mediums: Mediums are people who can communicate with spirits by channeling their residual energies. Mediums also often help people communicate with their dead relatives.
Psychometry: this is a special psychic ability through which you can receive information by touching objects. You can sense the energy of the owner of these objects by merely touching them.
Remote Viewing: perhaps the most scientific of all psychic abilities, remote viewing can help psychics view people, places and events remotely in both time as well as space.
