Local Hero
Ashley Evans — the hope of a Big Sister
By Karen Castillo Farfán 12/15/2011
According to CNNMoney, the 2011 state spending plan cut almost $40 million on programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters' Project Hope, which pairs mentors to kids of incarcerated parents.
Kelly Dooley, program coordinators for Project Hope of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ventura County, understands the impact these cuts have on children.
"Just because the money ends doesn't mean the need ends. On the contrary, it makes it worse," said Dooley. She continued, saying many children in foster care have parents who are incarcerated. These kids later fall into jail or don't seek post-secondary education.
Project Hope faces another concern; there aren't enough mentors to pair. In Ventura County, 75 kids are waiting for a pairing and have for at least a year. "These kids need a consistent person guiding them to new possibilities, like college," explains Dooley.
Currently, Project Hope exists through fundraising efforts and devoted volunteers like Ashley Evans, a Big Sister for Project Hope who works with nine-year-old Destiny.
Destiny is the youngest of seven living with her single mom. The family is going through difficult hurdles and having Evans is crucial.
"It's the simple things that make a difference," said Evans, who began reading with Destiny when she saw the need and even volunteered in Destiny's classroom.
"When children come from disadvantaged homes, it's hard for them to see a future," she said. Evans helps Destiny practice envisioning her future.
The program is designed to give kids individual attention to their needs. "It's the difference between a child in a classroom or a private tutor," said Evans. "The goal is to find a comfort level that works for both mentor and child. Then the magic begins."
Evans has seen Destiny's self-esteem improve and will continue to mentor until Destiny needs her no more. Even though federal funding isn't available, people like Evans continue to make a difference in kid's lives.

First Lieutenant Robert Henderson was remembered as a brave soldier, loving husband and son, and unabashed patriot at funeral services Tuesday.
Henderson was killed when his convoy was ambushed April 17 in Iraq. He served as a platoon sergeant in the Kentucky National Guard for eight years.
Hundreds of family and friends were able to look at letters Henderson had written to his wife, and hear his voice for the last time when messages he left on an answering machine were replayed during the service. The letters and messages reflected Henderson's love for his wife, dedication to his mission, and excitement over the birth of his first child in July.
Henderson was awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart posthumously for what military officials describe as heroic actions even after he was wounded during the ambush.
"He drove himself and prevented those others from driving in there and took cover and returned fire, and probably saved hundreds of lives," said Gen. Donald Storm, commanding officer of the KY Natl. Guard.
"He's a tremendous warrior, a patriot, and committed to the way we live in this country and the way we live in this great community that he's from, and our way of life," Storm said.
Co-workers at Lowes, where Henderson had worked for nine years, remembered a hard-working and friendly employee who would "always go above and beyond the call of duty," said co-worker Brian Carey.
Carey read an open letter he wrote to Henderson's wife and unborn son as part of the service.
"It was impressed upon me to share something that I shared with Rob, to share that with his unborn child and his wife, so that when his son is born, he'll have some idea of what Rob meant to a lot of us at Lowe's. He was always showing integrity in his job, and he was a loyal friend and I have nothing but respect for him, and I hope that the words that were spoken over him today did him justice," Carey said.

A 21-year-old man is accused of breaking into four Abilene restaurants. Three of the businesses are located on South 14th Street.
Trey Shedd who was arrested for felony burglary of a building, is in the Taylor County Jail with bond set at $75,000. More charges are possible in this case.
Abilene police tell KTXS the burglaries started on May 24. Alfredo's Mexican Restaurant and Wienerschnitzel were the latest victims. The two restaurants were broken into during the early morning hours on Tuesday.
A security consultant for one of the victims called police on Wednesday stating he spotted the suspect. Abilene police located Shedd in a parking lot on South 14th Street. He was taken to the Law Enforcement Center for questioning.
Police found clothing in Shedd's possession that matched the clothing the suspect wore as seen on surveillance video. Some stolen property was also recovered, according to an APD release.

NA 2010: MHIA says industry returns to growth
They say that flat is the new up for business. Based on that measure, better times are ahead for materials handling and automation as the industry returns to growth.
The Material Handling Industry of America is forecasting 6% to 8.5% growth in material handling equipment new orders in 2010, according to the latest Material Handling Equipment Manufacturing Forecast (MHEM). The growth in new orders is accompanied by a 1% to 2% growth in material handling shipments this year.
These were just some of the numbers that were released by Hal Vandiver, vice president of business development for the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA), at the annual state of the material handling and logistics industry press conference held at NA 2010 during the final week of April.
MHEM defines new orders as orders placed during the year for new materials handling equipment; shipments are based on when that equipment is manufactured and shipped to the customer.
Still, those relatively modest levels of growth follow significant declines in 2009, when material handling equipment orders contracted by 37.4% and shipments contracted by 34.4%. Looking forward, Vandiver is forecasting an acceleration of growth in the second half of 2010, extending into 2011. "The real opportunity is for next year, when we expect both orders and shipments to be growing in the 18% to 19% range," said Vandiver.
The return to modest growth has been reflected on the show floor at NA 2010. While the number of exhibitors and the amount of show space was down about 20%, attendance was close to even with NA 2008, which was a banner year. Likewise, early sales of space for next year's ProMat have been strong. "We were able to sell 63% of the show space for next year's show in just 7 hours," Vandiver said.

Villa SSK by Takeshi Hirobe Architects
Villa SSK is a minimal design created by Chiba, Japan, designed by Takeshi Hirobe Architects. The location for this project was adjacent to the calm and tranquil waters of Tokyo Bay. When the architects first visited the site, they were immediately overwhelmed by the presence of the ocean. Soon, however, they became attuned to the subtle cues coming from the surroundings, such as the movements of the sun, the flow of the wind, the scent of the tide, the stirrings of the plants, and the presence of the rocky mountain.

USA and Indonesia: The Friendship of Slaughter Continues

September 30, 2005, marked the fortieth anniversary of the alleged coup attempt that precipitated former Indonesian President Soeharto's rise to power. The Indonesian Communist Party remains banned for allegedly plotting the coup attempt, and former members or supporters continue to suffer discrimination. At least half a million people were killed in anti-communist purges after the coup attempt, and hundreds of thousands more were imprisoned without charge or trial. To date there has been no accountability for atrocities committed in 1965 and 1966. There has also been no legal accounting for the majority of atrocities committed during Soeharto's more than three decades in power, or for the violence instigated by pro-Soeharto forces in a failed attempt to stave off his 1998 fall from power.

Murdering one-half million people or more is an impressive kill rate, but, of course, they had considerable help from their friends:
Twenty-five years later [after the mass murders in Indonesia], American diplomats disclosed that they had systematically compiled comprehensive lists of "Communist" operatives, from top echelons down to village cadres, and turned over as many as 5,000 names to the Indonesian army, which hunted those persons down and killed them. The Americans would then check off the names of those who had been killed or captured. Robert Martens, a former member of the US Embassy's political section in Jakarta, stated in 1990: "It really was a big help to the army. They probably killed a lot of people, and I probably have a lot of blood on my hands, but that's not all bad. There's a time when you have to strike hard at a decisive moment."
"I know we had a lot more information [about the PKI] than the Indonesians themselves," said
Marshall Green, US Ambassador to at the time of the coup. Martens "told me on a number of occasions that ... the government did not have very good information on the Communist setup, and he gave me the impression that this information was superior to anything they had." Indonesia
"No one cared, as long as they were Communists, that they were being butchered," said Howard Federspiel, who in 1965 was the
expert at the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research. "No one was getting very worked up about it." (link) Indonesia

During the invasion and 24-year occupation, 100,000 to 250,000 people were killed out of an initial population of about 600,000 at the time of the invasion. The attacks on civilian populations were only nominally reported in the western press, especially in the
Therefore, approximately one-third of the people of East Timor were slaughtered by
Throughout the late 1970s and the 1980s, US State Department officials, in statements to the press and in testimony before Congress, consistently supported Indonesia's claim to East Timor (unlike the United Nations and the European Community), and downplayed the slaughter to a remarkable extent. Meanwhile, the omnipresent American military advisers, the training, the weapons, the helicopter gunships, and all the other instruments indispensable to efficient, modern, counter-insurgency warfare, were kept flowing into the hands of the Indonesian military. This may not be all, for Fretilin reported on a number of occasions that American advisers were directing and even participating in the combat. (link)
In short, comparatively speaking, the genocide of one-third of the East Timorese would be the equivalent of an invading and occupying army murdering 92 million Americans. The butchering of the East Timorese didn't end until the year 2000.

The ritual of getting a tattoo inhabits the realm of the unknown. For www.cuetoimages.com it is associated with the dark. It is a moment in time, human expression. It can be a mark, a meaning.
It is permanent.
Is it ugly. For special people it isn't ugly at all.
I met some of these people and photographed them.
I met Amy Patterson and Shanon Restoule at an art display at the University. We had the opportunity to show each other our work, I was drawn to their art. I was drawn to its meaning, its method, but primarily I was drawn to the people behind it. The Canvas and the Painter.
Shanon pierces people, Amy paints people, they adorn humanity, I wanted to photograph it. They introduced me to Dan Bisaillon another artist, later when I dropped by the parlour for a visit.
For the photo shoot I showed up like a hunter, one has to recognize that light does not escape me. I set up my small portable studio, I brought some lights, background to control shadows and sometimes envelope my subject in the darkness...... show it........illuminate it......control it.
I set my trap...............take the bait.
I want to show that people make tattoos a way of life. A statement, a message to the world. A message to their spirit. It is permanent.....with them now, until the end.
www.cuetoimages.com is a photography studio located in Sudbury Ontario. Jorge Cueto Herrera is the eye behind the photos at www.cuetoimages.com.

Triumph Motorcycles - The Bonneville
Spring means flowers, baseball, and of course, motorcycles. To celebrate the arrival of this great season, we'll profile several classic motorcycles throughout April. This week, we'll focus one of the most prolific motorcycle brands the world has ever known: Triumph. Now, all of the American motorcycle lovers, have patience - you'll love next week's update.
Triumph Motorcycles started out their life as Triumph Engineering Co. Ltd, based out of Coventry, England with an official founding date of 1885. Triumph Engineering lived approximately 100 years until the mid 1980's when it was sold and renamed Triumph Motorcycles Ltd. The workings of the corporate politics through the years along with the ultimate change of hands is another story for another time - we have actual hardware to talk about.
We are going to skip forward to post-war Triumph, specifically the Bonneville model. While the company's history is fascinating in its own right, the products that they have produced are what really make motorcycle fans drool.
During the 1950's and 60's, speed trials of cars and motorcycles captivated the automotive world. (Check out our latest newsletter featuring the Gyronaut X-1) Speed records were routinely being set then broken. Stories of men and their amazingly fast machines occupied the covers of most auto magazines of the day. So to take advantage of the speed craze, Triumph released The Bonneville, named after Utah's legendary epicenter of speed. Triumph's Bonneville was first introduced in 1959 and offered as a 650cc side-by-side twin cylinder motorcycle capable of an impressive 115mph from the factory. The first Bonneville received the designation of T120 and was based off of the company's previous Tiger model. The new Bonneville shared some of the Tiger's components including engine internals and Amal carburetion. The T120 lived until the early 1970's when the T140 Bonneville replaced it. Major improvements that came with the T140 included a 750cc engine, and eventually disc brakes, a larger fuel tank, and shuffling of controls for various markets.
The Bonneville was Triumph's "workhorse" so to speak. Triumph released several variations of the Bonneville during both the T120 and T140 run to appeal to various segments of the motorcycle hobby. Some of the more notable editions included the T120C with high exhaust pipes,the T120TT for dirt track racing, and the T120 Thruxton - factory road racing model. Also, the T140D limited edition was developed with cast wheels in a black/gold paint scheme. No Triumph collection is complete without the T140LE limited edition created to commemorate the marriage of Princess Diana and Prince Charles.
Today, you can still see many classic Bonnevilles running around. They've also become a staple at car and motorcycle shows and have again surged in popularity - especially since the re-release of what has been unofficially called "New Bonneville" in 2001. Overall, classic motorcycles have become a bit more hip to own and their investment value is predicted to increase. Plus, they take up less room in the garage! If you're contemplating entering the classic motorcycle hobby, start with the Bonneville. Good deals can still be had and parts/support and readily available.
What's your favorite Triumph? Let us know in the comment area below.

Tom Hardy plays the title role, and only on-screen character in "Locke," which takes place entirely during an hour and a half car trip. Don't worry. You won't be asking "Are we there, yet?" Writer/director Steven Knight, who wrote the screenplays to "Eastern Promises" and "Dirty Pretty Things," has crafted a taut, absorbing drama, whose only gimmick is the one-man-in-a-car device.
Ivan Locke is a successful construction foreman at the top of his field, and we quickly gather that's because he's really good at what he does. He's leaving work when we first meet him, and the movie wastes no time establishing that his carefully ordered life is about to fall apart.
There's no question that Locke is better at managing his professional life than his personal. He's painfully to the point and accurate, to the point of telling Bethan (Olivia Colman of "The Iron Lady"), a one night stand who's about to have his baby, that of course he doesn't love her; he barely knows her. Yet his inflexible sense of honor and obligation extends to both spheres of his life. He can't walk away from the upcoming, gigantic cement pour on his construction job even when he's fired any more than he can refuse to go to Bethan when she goes into labor prematurely. This is the other major component to Locke's psychological makeup: he has a hard time believing there's any part of his life he can't control.
All of Locke's interactions with other people during the movie, and there are actually a lot of them, are via Bluetooth. The people in his life, personal and business, are disembodied voices coming through a speakerphone.
Of course the device is a gimmick, and frankly, an almost anti-cinematic one. Movies are not inherently dialogue-driven, but "Locke" unfolds almost exclusively through the main character's phone calls. (There are some instances of Locke speaking out loud to his absent father, symbolized by the empty back seat.)
On top of this, there are probably no more than half a dozen different angles of Hardy in the entire movie, interspersed with occasional shots of the Bluetooth screen to identify the other parties to the conversations, and exterior shots of the English highway at night. Knight generally manages to stick to Howard Hawks' old dictum "Cut on movement." When he can't, he cheats. He dissolves, or changes focus at the beginning of a shot. Thing is, the technique works, and "Locke"is never static- if anything erring on the side of being overly kinetic. But Knight undeniably keeps his story in the fast lane. "Locke" is told with a brisk efficiency its main character would admire.
Knight and his director of photography Haris Zambarloukos ("Thor," "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit") milk their small, moving stage for everything it's worth, incorporating the highway and traffic in a way that defeats any sense of claustrophobia (as contrasted with Rodrigo Cortés' 2010 "Buried," which made sure its audience was all but literally gasping for breath as the air ran out). In fact one thing you absolutely have to give Knight is his evocation of the eeriness of late night travel.
It would be tempting to call "Locke" a radio drama with nice photography, but Hardy is acting even when he isn't talking. His face, his body language, his sweat and an occasional tear often do the talking for him. Perhaps best-known for the ferocious physicality of his roles in "Warrior" and "The Dark Knight Rises," the chameleon-like actor is riveting here. The best movie acting often takes place behind the eyes, and this is particularly the case when a character is wrapped tight. Locke almost never raises his voice, and never when anyone else can hear him. One of the great rewards "Locke" has to offer is the opportunity to see Hardy acting in a minor key.
Dickon Hinchliffe's ("Winter's Bone") unobtrusive music score is effective. American audiences will initially worry about the oncoming freeway traffic being in the wrong lane. But as to the movie, "Locke" knows its direction from the outset and gets there briskly, with no wrong turns.
"Locke" opens May 16th at the Spectrum 7 on Delaware Avenue in Albany.

See "Impact of Early and High Amino Acid Supplementation on ELBW Infants at 2 Years" by Blanco et al on page 601.
In the report by Blanco et al (1) in this issue, potentially harmful effects of early high doses of intravenous amino acids (AAs) are reported for long-term outcomes on growth and neurodevelopment in extremely-low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants (birth weight <1000 g) at 18 to 24 months of age. Early administration of AA has been shown to improve nitrogen balance in the first week of life and improve weight gain (2,3). Therefore, many neonatal intensive care units have jumped on the bandwagon for early "aggressive" TPN for preterm infants, although most are unlikely to start AA infusions at 2 g · kg−1 · day−1 within the first 24 hours or rapidly advance to 4 g · kg−1 · day−1 by day 4 as was done in the present study. The control group began receiving AAs at 0.5 g · kg−1 · day−1 between 24 and 36 hours of age with increases of 0.5 g · kg−1 · day−1 every 24 hours until a maximum of 3.0 g · kg−1 · day−1 was obtained and maintained through the seventh day of life. This was the standard method of AA administration in this neonatal intensive care unit at the time. After 7 days, all of the infants were maintained on an AA dose of 3.5 g · kg−1 · day−1 until increasing enteral feedings permitted total parenteral nutrition volumes to be decreased. Alarmingly, because of the initial high mortality rate in the early/high AA group for infants <24 weeks' gestation (4/4 infants enrolled died within 7 days), the study was stopped early by the data safety monitoring board and restarted, with the enrollment limited to infants ages 24 weeks or older. The AA solution was only discontinued if the plasma ammonia level was >91 μmol/L by day 1 of life or >79 umol/L by day 3 of life. As previously reported, the early/high AA group had a higher cumulative AA intake than the standard AA group at day 3 of life (7.6 ± 0.4 vs 1.3 ± 0.1 g · kg−1 · day−1) and day 7 of life (22.5 vs 9.9 g · kg−1 · day−1) (4,5). All 6 infants who were withdrawn from the protocol for elevated plasma ammonia were in the early/high AA group, although lack of difference in the degree of metabolic acidosis between groups was reassuring (4,5).
There are a number of problems with this preliminary study that, in all fairness, are pointed out by the authors. First, the study was small, with only 61 infants randomized and only 32 infants (54%) followed up at 18 to 24 months. Second, the study was not powered for neurodevelopmental or growth outcomes, but for the effect of AA on early serum K+ levels, as previously reported (4). The other major point is that growth is dependent on dietary intake and growth of the brain also influences neurodevelopmental outcomes. Although there were no differences in discharge weights between groups, no data were collected on dietary intakes after hospital discharge. In fact, negative growth outcomes at 18 to 24 months were unexpected and alarming in the Blanco et al study (1). The early/high AA infants had z score means for weight, length, and head circumference that were significantly lower than the standard AA group through 24 months' corrected gestational age at most visits in this predominantly Hispanic population. The Mental Developmental Index and Psychomotor Developmental Index Bayley II developmental scores did not significantly differ between groups except for a lower Mental Developmental Index score at 18 months in the early/high AA group; however, for nearly every time point, there was a trend for a higher developmental score in the standard AA group compared with the early/high AA group.
This is the first published study looking at the effect of early and high AAs (4 g · kg−1 · day−1) in the first week of life on long-term growth and neurodevelopmental outcomes (18–24 months). These preliminary data suggest that too much protein given too early may be harmful to extremely-low-birth-weight infants. Until larger randomized controlled trials with long-term outcomes can be completed, neonatologists should proceed with caution with early administration of large amounts of AA, especially to ELBW infants.

Red, White and Blue: Pop | Punk | Politics | Place
7 November – 8 December 2012
Private view: 6 November 2012, 18.00 – 20.30
Venue: Chelsea Space, Chelsea College of Art and Design, 16 John Islip Street, London SW1P 4JU.
Red, White and Blue explores the intertwining themes of pop, punk, politics and place at the end of 2012.
Critically positioned in the context of the Jubilee and Olympic year, the exhibition also looks back to corresponding historical moments: the 1951 Festival of Britain, the birth of punk and the Silver Jubilee. The show looks again at re-emerging themes of austerity, legacy, and national identity that have resonated across the last half-century both in the UK and internationally.
The exhibition combines film, photography, graphics and contemporary art to explore and expand the relationship between pop and punk culture and politics and national identity.
The Royal Jubilee of 1977 and the anarchy of Punk is evoked in the black and white photographs of Jon Savage and Syd Shelton, the super 8 films of Derek Jarman and the graphics of Pavel Buchler and the Clash. A more contemporary examination of pop and political graphics takes place in the vividly coloured works of artists Simon Periton, Neil Clements, Nicky Carvell and Daniel Sturgis.
An international perspective on the notion of national identity and place is provided by the work of the radical Slovenian group, Laibach, who look critically at the British projection of power and Pil and Galia Kollectiv use modernist avant-garde methods to critique contemporary society.
Red, White and Blue will include works by Peter Blake, Barney Bubbles, Pavel Buchler, Nicky Carvell, Neil Clements, Terence Cuneo, Richard Evans, Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, Jaime Gili, Derek Jarman, Laibach, Humphrey Ocean, Pil & Galia Kollectiv, Simon Periton, Mick Jones Rock & Roll Public Library, Jon Savage, Syd Shelton, Jon Smith, Richard Smith, Daniel Sturgis, Steve Thomas, Paul Tickell, Mark Titchner, Trio/Fabrika, Kirsten Weiner.
Curated by Donald Smith with Daniel Sturgis.

In a sure sign that solar energy's time may at last be approaching, Austin, Texas has passed a resolution that would mandate that the city obtain 60 percent of its electricity from renewables over the next decade and go carbon free by 2030. Austin Energy, the main power utility for Texas' capital, would build 600 megawatts of solar capacity and support the construction of another 200 megawatts of home and business rooftop systems according to a Wednesday piece in Real Clear Energy. That is four times the amount of current solar capacity in the entire state.
To be sure this proposal has a lot to do with the peculiar politics of Austin, a liberal city situated in the middle of red state Texas. But a couple of more practical factors are driving the drive toward solar. One is that Texas, while most famous as an oil and gas state, has been creating more of its electricity from renewables, particularly wind energy. Also, as Forbes recently suggested, solar panels have dropped enough in cost and have risen enough in efficiency to finally make solar economically competitive against fossil fuels.
Solar energy has always been a favorite of politicians of a certain political stripe. It has enjoyed generous government support over the years, particularly from the Obama administration, in the form of tax breaks and loan guarantees. This has led to a number of embarrassing scandals such as Solyndra.
It may be ironic that it may be Texas' business friendly climate that will cause solar energy to take off in the state. Environmentalists give lip service to renewable energy on the one hand but oppose it on the other when someone proposes actually building power plants. The opposition to the Cape Wind offshore wind farm and accusations that solar plants fry birds are cases in point. Zoning and other regulations inhibit the building of rooftop solar systems.
Texas has a tradition of cutting through red tape and government gridlock to benefit business. Solar energy, when all is said and done, is just another business to be nurtured. It may never totally replace oil and gas, as some hope, but its day in the sun, as it were, may be drawing nigh in the Lone Star State. Other cities in Texas will no doubt observe Austin's experiment with keen interest.

(December 8, 2010) Washington, DC – The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) and victim advocates across the nation applaud the U.S. House of Representatives for passing the bill to reauthorize the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVSPA) as part of the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA). Now heading for the Senate, this bill authorizes a vital federal investment in domestic violence shelters.
"The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act is a fundamental part of our nation's response to domestic violence, providing lifesaving services to victims of domestic violence and their children. The House of Representatives' work is a critical step toward ensuring that local domestic violence programs can continue to prevent future violence and provide safe places for victims to rebuild their lives free from abuse," said Sue Else, president of NNEDV.
NNEDV commends Representative George Miller (D-CA) and his dedicated colleagues on the Education and Labor Committee, especially Representatives John Kline (R-MN), Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), and Todd Platts (R-PA). Additionally, NNEDV recognizes the essential leadership of Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI), who authored an earlier version of the bill and advocated staunchly for its passage. Finally, NNEDV applauds Representatives Aaron Schock (R-IL), Judy Biggert (R-IL) and Gregorio Sablan (D-MP) and the more than 120 Representatives who co-sponsored Moore's bill.
"Victim advocates across the nation are grateful for the leadership of these Congressional champions for survivors of abuse. We thank these Members of Congress for taking a stand against domestic violence," said Else. "We look forward to the final passage in Senate and President Obama's signature."
FVPSA is the only dedicated federal funding source for domestic violence shelters and services. For 25 years, FVPSA-funded programs have been supporting emergency shelters, crisis hotlines, counseling services, victim assistance initiatives and programs for underserved communities. The bill expired in 2008. The new bill builds upon FVPSA's core strengths and includes critical improvements that will allow more victims to receive the services they desperately need. Additionally, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) improves services for both victims of child abuse and families that are experiencing domestic violence and child maltreatment.
There are more than 2,000 community-based domestic violence programs providing emergency shelter to approximately 300,000 victims and their children every year. Local domestic violence programs also provide non-residential services such as counseling, legal assistance and prevention education to millions of men, women, and children each year.
National Network to End Domestic Violence
NNEDV, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., is a leading voice for domestic violence victims and their advocates. Its members include the 56 state and territorial coalitions against domestic violence. It works closely with them to understand the needs of domestic violence victims and advocacy programs. NNEDV has been a premiere national organization advancing the movement against domestic violence for the past 15 years, after leading efforts among domestic violence advocates and survivors in urging Congress to pass the landmark Violence Against Women Act of 1994.

also remarkable.
X-MAN is a book worth taking notice of. It has gone from
being an unnecessary addition to a line of books already overburdened
by redundant series, to a entity wholly complete unto itself. No
footnotes or gatefolds full of minutae; just a high-concept sci-fi
story, straightforwardly told, that leaves you wanting more. Why
can't more comics be like this?

Our rice is currently sitting in an ugly bag that got slightly sticky somehow in the cabinet. It's a mystery since so far as we can see, there's nothing sticky anywhere near it. How much nicer would it be to store the stuff in this Kiri Wood Rice Bin ($89)? It's designed to keep those little white grains dry and bug-free, and looks darned nice sitting out on the counter.

Say this for The Used and Taking Back Sunday (who performed April 1 in Denver): They know their audience. As well they should. Both bands have been around for nearly 15 years and feature nearly the same lineups as they did in the early 2000s, and have seen a series of musical genres (pop-punk, screamo, post-hardcore) rise and fall. So where does that leave a bunch of 30-something rock musicians? Right where they want to be, it seems. At the Denver show, The Used singer Bert McCraken noted that he wanted to tour with TBS because they just wanted to perform music without the associated nonsense. "There are no rockstars in this room," he said. Whether that's deliberate or a function of the fickle nature of Top 40 radio is irrelevant. What matters is that the Ogden Theatre was sold out and everyone -- fans and bands alike -- left happy.

On July 10, 2014 guests at the elegant Upper Eastside Academy Mansion enjoyed a comfortable summer evening of outdoor jazz, Davidoff cigars and a taste of Glenmorangie's most exclusive Single Malt Whiskey to date, Pride 1978. Pride 1978 is a 34-year old crafted by Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's Head of Distilling and Whisky. It began as a 19-year-old whisky then matured in five casks of French Premier Grand Cru claret for extra-maturation of years.
The limited edition of 700 bottles of Pride 1978 is packaged in deep red wood box, designed by Wouter Scheublin, which slides open to a red interior designed to reflect the casks and suspends the orb Baccarat crystal decanter designed by Laurence Brabant.
To celebrate the release, Glenmorangie commissioned artist Idris Khan to create an accompanying work. The result is an abstract piece tracing the five casks which produced Pride 1978 at Glenmorangie's distillery neat Tain in Ross-shire, Scotland. The piece, named "Disappearing Casks," is the large format, photographic print created by photographing or scanning selected materials resulting in a single, beautiful piece of art that represents Glenmorangie's complex and detailed whisky distilling process used to create Pride 1978.
The lucky 150 guests not only enjoyed a small pour of the rare whisky, but were guided through the tasting process by Lumsden himself. He explained the process to age the whiskey and described the flavors and scents to look for: sweet chestnut, apricots, toffee apple, cardamom, ginger, cedar wood, vanilla and cappuccino. To get the full effect, Lumsden emphasized smelling before tasting as well as smelling the residue in the glass about five minutes after drinking to fully enjoy Pride 1978. After his passionate description, Lumsden then invited the group to taste saying "Please join me in a sip of this liquid nectar," the toasted with the Gaelic: "Sláinte."
For the rest of the world wanting to sample Pride 1978, there are only 700 bottles available and it will set you back $5,800 but it includes not only the box and decanter, which is artwork in itself but a signed, limited edition of Khan's work, "Disappearing Casks". Now through July 22, it is exclusively available here. Starting July 23 it will available at specialist retailers and department stores

Roberto Luongo skated at the Florida Panthers' practice facility but made sure to leave before current Panthers goaltender Jose Theodore got on the ice with teammates, according to the Sun Sentinel. Luongo told the paper that a trade to Florida "makes sense for myself, for my career and my family. This is a preferred location for obvious reasons, but I'm not shutting the door on other possibilities."
Senators defenseman Chris Phillips told the Ottawa Sun that the NHLPA will contact the NHL this week to try to end the stalemate between the two sides. "We've made it clear, and I know we'll reach out again this week to say, 'We're here, we're available if you want to talk' because we know nothing is going to get it done if everyone is sitting on the sidelines," Phillips told the paper.
The Red Wings' Henrik Zetterberg, a member of the NHLPA's negotiating committee, told mlive.com that the owners want the players to sacrifice everything. "There's no two-way street in their proposal," Zetterberg told the website. "We're trying to find a way to partner up with them. We have problems in the league. We have to find a solution, players and the league together, and both help out."
Alex Ovechkin told reporters the players are ready for a lockout, and if they weren't, they would have already signed a new deal, according the The Washington Times. Ovechkin added that he will probably play in Russia if there is a lockout but that isn't what he wants.
Erik Karlsson is disappointed that the two professional leagues in Sweden will not allow NHL players to play unless they sign a contract for the entire season, according to the Ottawa Citizen.
The KHL is preparing to welcome the windfall of NHL players who are looking for a place to play during the lockout to take advantage of the many marketing opportunities the high-profile players' presence provides, according to The Canadian Press.
Gabriel Landeskog was named captain of the Colorado Avalanche, making him the youngest captain in NHL history at 19 years, 286 days, according to the Denver Post.
Rick Rypien's mother was touched by the support shown for her late son at a charity golf tournament in Rypien's honor, according to The (Vancouver) Province.

Gulliver's Travels in film
|Entertainment - Movies
|Sunday, 19 December 2010 16:33
One of the most popular books on small and big screen.
Books, comics, cartoons and very different versions of Gulliver's Travels on the big screen movie. The first version in the cinema of the novel by Jonathan Swift , published in the eighteenth century , dates from 1903 written and directed by Second Chomón and the title of Gulliver in the land of the giants. Although a previous French version of 1902 directed by Georges Méliès
The origin
Recall that the novel is written in 1726 and is a ferocious satire of society and the human condition in which the protagonist is a captain who is in paradoxical situations as a giant among dwarfs, a dwarf among giants and a human being embarrassed their condition in a land populated by horses scholars who are more human than the people themselves and not trust them.
The film versions.
Take 20 years to make the next version of the novel, this time in cartoon hand Mourlan directors Albert and Raymond Villette. We were in 1923, Gulliver chez les Lilliputiens title.
We arrived to 1939 when it appears Gulliver's Travels, an American production of the hand of Dave Fleischer. Also a cartoon. In 1960, Jack Sher presented another version, with the same title, from the popular novel, also a cartoon.
In 1977 Hungary was entitled would suggest a Gulliver's travel version starring Richard Harris a great actor of Monte Cristo's Revenge either side of the aftermath of Harry Potter .
The Spanish would do an animated version in 1983 directed by Cruz Delgado and written by Gustavo Alcalde. In 1979 Alfonso Ungria did a version, Gulliver, with actors like starring Fernando Fernan Gomez.
In 1996 he made a television version by the British and U.S. film directed by Diane Eskenazi
The versions for TV films and movies is another long list of titles.

The FCAT is a state-mandated exam, testing students knowledge of math, reading, science and writing. 3rd grade students must earn a reading score of 2 or higher to be promoted. High school sophomores have to pass the reading and math sections before then can get a diploma.
I narrowed down a few questions from the reading, science and math portions of the 8th grade FCAT and then sat down with several Bay County educators.
Before becoming a School Board Member, Jerry Register spent 30 years with the Bay County school system. He gave the FCAT a try and admits some of the questions were tough.
"I think the reading questions and the science questions were challenging to say the least," said Jerry Register, Bay Co. School Board Member.
In his new role of School Superintendent, Bill Husfelt stays busy dealing with a budget crisis. But we took a few minutes of his time for our FCAT challenge. Husfelt says he's always had respect for students. This experience carried that respect to a higher level.
"The more the public is aware of how challenging this test is the more respect they'll have for these kids. I mean I would like to see a lot of adults have to take this. I would like to see our state legislators have to take the test. It would be very, very interesting," said Bill Husfelt, Bay County School Superintendent.
For school board member Ryan Neves the FCAT became a bit of a sibling rivalry between him and his brother Todd. The duo went into the test pretty confident but were surprised by some of the questions.
"It was a little more difficult then I thought it would be," said Ryan Neves , Bay Co. School Board Member.
Not all of your Bay County School Board Members were willing to give the FCAT a try. The three veterans, Ginger Littleton, Donna Allen, and Pat Sabiston all declined to take part in our story.
The FCAT is not mandated by local school boards, but rather by the state. In the next part of this series I'll show you how our test takers fared on the exam.

myScoop – Bookmark & Aggregator Tool
Yesterday I chatted to Nicholas Duncan about his new Startup. myScoop is a Blog Aggregation and Social Bookmarking tool which he launched just weeks ago.
Firstly Nick, Why myScoop? What is it about?
myScoop originally started out as a personal project to see if I could create something similar to Muti, but make the site easier to use while increasing the functionality and have the ability to check real time stats of every posted bookmark. I'm in SEO and I use a lot of social bookmarking sites and noticed that South Africa is lacking in this department. It was never meant to be a blog aggregation tool at all, but when I noticed the downfall of Amatomu I decided to give it a bash and out popped what we're currently talking about!
I like taking everything that I've learnt and putting it together to see what I can create. Yeah, Afrigator is a huge competitor, and I have tons of respect for what they have achieved, but that's not going to stop me from testing the waters.
It took roughly around 2 months to get to the current state. 1 month to create and play around with the social bookmarking concept and development, and another month transforming it into the current
blog aggregation tool.
Relax with the family, adding functionality and/or debugging myScoop, and I have recently started writing articles for my personal blog, http://nickduncan.co.za
I am an extremely ambitious 25 year old that is passionate about web development and search engine optimization. I have a lovely fiance and 2 wonderful step kids aged 5 and 8 and a baby boy on the way very soon. I'm an SEO consultant by day and as you can see, a hopeful web entrepreneur by night.
There are a number of factors that hamper the snow-balling effect we all would like to see when it comes to our new startups, such as advertising, hosting and bandwidth costs. These all can limit potential growth but I feel that as a young web entrepreneur, staying positive and keeping the momentum while keeping your ear to the ground and listening to your users can ultimately lead to your success.
Thanks for the opportunity

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I opted for a woven fabric rather than a knit since I figured, while a knit would lay smoother on my body, the bias tape around the edges would be ripply and gross. Thus, I'm sacrificing some smoothness in the body of the outfit for overall cleanliness of construction. I hand-drafted the dress pattern by pinning both on my new dressform and on my own body, inserting darts under the bust and above the butt in the back so it would be flattering. I finished the entire thing in bias tape, then put in machine-sewn buttonholes and hand-attached buttons. The jacket is a find from 2006, when I first started showing interest in cosplay, which came in handy for this costume. I fashioned the metal bracelets and the metal sleeve cuffs out of craft foam and googly eyes. I used a length of black leather strap for her necklace. I made the hairbow out of stretch twill, which holds its shape very well without interfacing. I made the staff by using craft foam to "plug" the gap between an old color guard flagpole I had from high school, and some slightly wider diameter mailing tubes and PVC joints. I sprayed and distressed the whole thing in my basement. I cut the bangs on the wig to be a bit more natural and like the Advent Children incarnation of Aerith and held in place with a butt-ton of hairspray and bobby pins.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz opened Saudi Aramco's 75th anniversary celebrations at its headquarters in Dhahran yesterday.
In his opening address at the ceremony, King Abdullah praised Aramco's role in providing sufficient oil supplies to ease the global energy crisis.
"This Saudi company has been trying efficiently to support the Kingdom's international policy in the field of providing suitable energy to confront global crises and, God willing, it will continue to play the same role," the king said in his opening address at the ceremony.
Attendees at the ceremony included Bahraini King Hamad Al Khalifah, Deputy Prime Minister of Oman Fahd Al Saeed, and the Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah and Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Affairs Ali Al-Naimi.
In his address, King Abdullah thanked Saudi Aramco for providing energy for the Kingdom's national development and praised the company's present and previous employees. He noted King Abdulaziz's decision to sign the concession agreement between Saudi Arabia and Standard Oil and ensure that Saudi interests were protected, including the training and employment of Saudis.
Earlier, King Abdullah laid the foundation for the King Abdulaziz Knowledge Center, which will be established close to the first oil well.

Norfolk and Western No. 611
this wiki
Norfolk and Western #611 is a 4-8-4 J class steam locomotive. She has 70 inch diameter driving wheels, is capable of 80,000 pounds of tractive effort and is the only surviving example of 14 Class J's built by N&W.
611 was built in May 1950 by the Roanoke Shops in Roanoke, Virginia and was retired in 1959 (as one of the last steam locomotives to be retired by any US or North American Class 1 railroad). , 611 has been in two derailments total. During her service with N&W, an engineer ran her at excessive speeds while pulling the Pochahontas around a bend in the Tug River outside Cedar, West Virginia. 611 suffered only minor damage was repaired shortly and returned to service. It was restored and returned to service in 1982, operating until 1994 on its final run day of December 7, 1994. On May 18, 1986, one of the passenger cars being hauled by 611 on an employee special got caught in a switch and derailed outside Great Dismal Swamp, Virginia. 12 cars derailed, and blocked the line for a good amount of time. 611 again only took minor damage and was soon repaired. The locomotive was finally retired from excursion service one month after a major derailment (not involving 611) in a yard which heavily damaged several excursion cars. In October, 1994, the steam program was canceled. 611's last run was December 7, 1994, on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day. It has been on display at the Museum of Transportation since from 1995 to 2014. 611 return to service on May 23, 2015, and made it's first test run and movement under her own power for the first time in 21 years.
"Fire Up 611!" ProgramEditThe Virginia Museum of Transportation, located in Roanoke, Virginia, has recently begun a study into the feasibility of restoring the 611 to operational status for participation in Norfolk Southern's 21st Century Steam Program. Several inspections by FRA officials have yeilded positive results, even concluding in an estimate of what it is likely to cost to restore the Class J: 3.5 million dollars for its return to operation, and 1.5 million for the construction of maintenance facilities and general upkeep of the locomotive during excursions. It has been stated by VMT that if their goal of 3.5 million dollars can be reached by October 2013, then 611 will be ready for excursion service within the next year and likely even begin operation in 2014. As of late July, the amount yet raised is undisclosed, though VMT claims donations have arrived from at least 5 different countries; their positivity and several public press conferences would suggest a very succesful response from the railfan community. VMT has pulled 611 out of her display stable multiple times now, including during a photo shoot alongside Class A 2-6-6-4 1218, a former excursion partner. Highest priority in the rebuilding process is believed to be the replacement or major repair of the locomotive's driving wheels, something planned to be done before her retirement from excursion service during the 90's. It is also planned to re-replace her single-beam headlight with a dual-beam light, as was done during the last excursion period. On April 1st, 2014, it was announced that, despite only raising $2.3 million, the locomotive would be moved to North Carolina on May 24th, 2014. The amount of money raised is enough to restore the locomotive, a project that is slated to take nine months to complete. The money left to raise is for the maintenance and housing facilities. Restoration of 611 began on June 2, and has been well documented pictorially and proceeded at a fast pace, ending on May 9, 2015.

Sale Price:
Ireland's "forty shades of green" are reflected in Connemara marble, a rich green stone found only in western Ireland and dating back more than 900 million years to the Precambrian era. In this handcrafted necklace deep green Connemara marble peeks out from behind a sterling silver hawthorn tree
widely known as the preferred home of the fairy folk.
Fairies are an important part of Irish lore, and even those who are skeptical about the existence of "the wee folk" will err on the side of not disturbing them. Centuries of fables have warned about the misfortune that befalls anyone foolhardy enough to disturb the home of these bad-tempered creatures. Farmers will plow a wide circle around a solitary tree, and in 1999 a major highway in County Clare was rerouted to avoid disturbing a hawthorn tree after local storytellers stirred up local superstitions.
Whatever the truth of the fairies and the hawthorn tree, these iconic accents bring a connection to both the land and the lore of the Emerald Isle and make a perfect gift for just about anyone.

MEDINA — The Medina school board agreed Friday to keep a 5.9-mill levy on the May 7 primary ballot despite heated criticism from teachers and community members of Superintendent Randy Stepp's new contract, which included an $83,000 signing bonus.
Stepp last week agreed to give back the bonus, which he received in January, but has not yet arranged to do so.
At a special meeting Friday, school board Chairman Charles Freeman asked, "Should we delay it (the levy) until November and get our house in order?"
Several board members said they favored continuing the levy campaign, saying the district needs the money immediately and the school's financial picture isn't going to get better.
School officials said the district faces up to $4 million in cuts if a levy doesn't pass by November.
"We put this thing on there because there was a need and that need isn't going away," Stepp said.
Freeman asked John Leatherman, president of the Medina City Teachers Association, whether the district could count on the support of teachers for the levy.
Last week the teachers overwhelmingly ratified a tentative agreement on the new contract that froze wages, except for time-in-service and additional college coursework "step increases."
But earlier, the teachers voted "no confidence" in the board and Stepp.
Leatherman said he couldn't answer for all of the district's approximately 400 teachers. But he said that it was unlikely they would support the campaign as strongly as they had in the past.
"Right now, I couldn't even think about how to send an email out about that question," he said.
Also Friday, the board postponed a vote on the new teacher's contract until next week, when the board will meet to interview candidates for the seat vacated by retiring physician, Dr. Robert Wilder.
Following the public session Friday, the board met in executive session to discuss personnel issues for more than two hours, and excluded Stepp from part of those discussions.
About 8 p.m., four hours after the meeting started, Vlcek came out of the meeting to announce no action would be taken that night.
The board called a recess until next Friday when it will meet to interview 17 candidates for the vacant seat.

Is it possible to set the same folders to SkyDrive and dropbox? I would like to sync them both at the same time. How to perform this action?
It is possible to change the Dropbox directory under its advanced settings. You could set it to the SkyDrive folder. You can not change the SkyDrive folder in its settings. Most likely due to its integration with your Windows account.
I dont see doing this will cause a problem. Definitely backup your data and test this before committing any important data.
EDIT: I just tried this, DropBox will create a DropBox folder in the SkyDrive folder. If you can live with that, then this will work. So just save everything in the dropbox folder (under skydrive) and everything will be synced between the two accounts.
I hope I'm not committing a crime by reactivating an ancient question, but was just looking for the same thing and found a solution that worked a little better for me personally.
Repeat step (4) for every folder in the DropBox folder.
This is where I found my answer, but I wrote it out in case the link dies someday.
A couple of things I'm going to test now is
I hope this help.
EDIT: Having DropBox sync linked folder also works, so having DropBox and SkyDrive share a folder not actually belonging to one of them should work. Now I only need to test it with GoogleDrive.
EDIT: I tested this with Google Drive. It seems Google Drive doesn't sync symbolically linked folders like DropBox and SkyDrive does.

Beth Taylor, a former commuter from the Poconos, will examine how long work travel affects the health on the individuals making them for her doctoral research project at Marywood University in Scranton, PA.
The focus of the study will go beyond the actual health of the travelers, and concentrate on the behavioral aspects of long-commuters. Are those individuals more inclined to have a poor diet and lack of exercise? Does a long commute, limit how much one can see a doctor? These are the type of questions that will be asked, examined, and discussed for the project.
Taylor, who is going for a doctorate in human development, will use her own experiences as a former long-commuter as a basis for the study. Additionally she has performed extensive research on this group, but feels that there is little information on the unhealthy aspects of long commutes.
The objective of the research project is to promote better health and build programs that allow for this objective to be reached.
The initial study will examine riders and drivers from Monroe County that travel by bus at least 90 minutes one way to their work destination. Qualified participants must have performed this commute for over one year, and not have the ability to telecommute or access to a flexible work arrangement.
Martz Trailways sent an email about the study to the riders from the area that were on a company list, and 45 respondents will be the initial participants in the study by agreeing to a 90 minute interview.
