TORONTO - Mayor Rob Ford left home Thursday bound for rehab hours after announcing plans to deal with his substance-abuse problems amid a triple dose of scandalizing revelations that have raised further questions about his fitness for office.
Confronted with reports of a recent video showing him allegedly smoking crack cocaine, an audio recording of the mayor spewing profanities and making lewd comments about a fellow mayoral contender, and witness accounts of him snorting cocaine at a city nightclub, Ford took a leave of absence to seek "immediate help."
"He's a broken man. He's got a lot of demons," Ford's lawyer Dennis Morris told The Canadian Press.
"He realizes that he's not well and in need of help. He's just running off the rails. That's something he now appreciates."
Ford did not speak to reporters in front of his home as he left in a two-car convoy Thursday morning.
Morris said Ford flew to Chicago, but he is not in a program in that city. Morris would not say if Ford has enrolled in a rehabilitation program elsewhere.
CBC cited Coun. Doug Ford as saying his brother would be spending 30 days at an unspecified addictions facility, but Morris said the mayor would stay in a program no matter how many days it lasted.
At a news conference, an emotional Doug Ford said facing your problems and deciding to seek help is not easy and that he loves and supports his brother and his family.
The scandal-plagued mayor's latest woes began late Wednesday, with a trio of damaging newspaper reports that raised new questions about his conduct.
The Globe and Mail said a drug dealer had shown two of its reporters video of Ford allegedly smoking what was said to be crack in the basement of his sister's home early Saturday morning.
The paper said it paid $10,000 for frame grabs showing Ford holding a copper pipe.
American website Gawker.com, which first broke word of a video purportedly showing Ford smoking crack cocaine a year ago, published similar photos. Gawker said it had rejected a drug dealer's request for "six figures" for videos.
Morris said it was not possible to know what was in the pipe seen in the photographs.
Then, in an audio recording at a bar obtained by the Toronto Sun, Ford is heard making anti-gay remarks, using an ethnic slur, and saying he would like to "jam" rival candidate Karen Stintz.
The mayor said he didn't remember the events Monday night but confirmed being at the bar, the Sun reported.
In a third report based on sources, the Toronto Star published details of "two nights of utter debauchery" involving Ford at a Toronto nightclub a few weeks ago.
At one point, Ford almost got into an altercation with pop idol Justin Bieber, who jokingly asked the mayor if he had any crack cocaine with him, the paper said.
The Canadian Press has not independently verified the various reports. The owner of the nightclub issued a statement saying he had not seen Ford using illegal drugs and did not condone their use.
Ford has steadfastly refused to step down and had insisted for months he is neither an addict nor an alcoholic.
That changed late Wednesday.
"I have a problem with alcohol and the choices I have made while under the influence," he said in a statement.
"I have tried to deal with these issues by myself over the past year. I know that I need professional help and I am now 100 per cent committed to getting myself right."
Despite his leave from both the mayor's office and his re-election campaign, Ford will apparently remain in the running for October's municipal vote.
Ford critics and supporters took to social media with gusto.
"Unfit for office," one person tweeted. "Rob and Doug Ford have lied for almost four years to the citizens of Toronto. Why should they be believed now?" another said.
Others were supportive, with one calling the media "cockroaches" in a tweet.
"I love Rob Ford. He's one of us! Leave the man alone," another tweeted.
"He is human and not made of plastic," said yet another.
Even with such support, pollster John Wright said the latest revelations will likely hurt his re-election chances.
"He was losing before this episode," Wright said. "He will continue in that regard."
The main question, Wright said, was whether rival John Tory could use Ford's absence to appropriate the mayor's tax-busting mantra.
Jackie DeSouza, Toronto's communications director, said the mayor had notified the city about the leave but not its duration.
That left Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly, who has been doing most of Ford's job since council stripped him of most of his mayoral duties last year, firmly in charge.
Kelly denounced Ford's misbehaviour as "inexcusable" and called the situation a "personal tragedy," not a "crisis of government."
Ford's main left-wing mayoral rival for the October vote, Olivia Chow, called the mayor an international embarrassment.
"It's clear Mr. Ford is sick," Chow said Thursday. "As a mayor, however, he had his chance."
Stintz condemned Ford's audiotaped "misogynistic" and "disgusting" comments.
Last year, Ford admitted smoking crack cocaine in a "drunken stupor" but later said he had cleaned up his act and was working out.
However, he was forced to admit he had resumed drinking after another videotaped incident in which he used Jamaican swear words and slagged the city's police chief.
Police began investigating Ford after a guns and gangs probe turned up wiretaps that allegedly captured conversations about the first "crack" video. A friend of Ford's is charged with extortion related to attempts to retrieve the video.
Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash said "investigators would be interested to see the new information."

Adam and Eve by Tiziano Vecellio
On this first anniversary of President Barack Obama marked in conjunction with the celebration of the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., we are reminded that change was the buzzword for 2009. The meaning of change resonated with everyone in a different way, some thought it meant universal health care, some thought it meant gay rights, others perhaps thought it meant bringing all the troops home. Whatever any of us thought change meant, the fact is no real change can be brought about without the cooperation of all Americans. This means that the first change that must take place is a change of consciousness. Without that we fight the same old battles and spew the same old arguments.
This will be the first in a series of articles aimed at understanding the theory that any move toward a more peaceful and bountiful society must begin with a change in our attitude toward women and their role. The focus will not be on the oppression or advances of women but on the overall perspective of society toward women and women's issues. We will explore how achieving a societal shift of consciousness about women will open the floodgates for the same shift overall.
Eve – The Beginning
While the Eve of Genesis is the most well-known place to start in any story about women, there are actually many moments in history that show the removal of women from the natural balance of mankind. Let us start with Eve to gain a perspective.
In the New International Version of the Christian Bible, Genesis 3 begins with "The Fall of Man." It describes the interaction between the serpent, Eve and Adam and the consequences of their actions.
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2 The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "
4 "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
In summary, the tempting fruit that was placed in the garden was not to be touched. The serpent convinced Eve that eating it would not kill her but would open her eyes to the truth. Eve made a conscious decision to look past the barriers of the garden, then she chose to share the knowledge with Adam. When God realized that they had received the knowledge and were no longer blind to truth, he declared pain in childbirth and subservience for Eve, painful toil just to survive for Adam.
Biblical believers have followed this suggestion ever since.
The development of monotheism
combined with the changes in culture provided the perfect catalyst for the rise of a patriarchal societal system. Rosemary Radford Ruether, Carpenter Emerita Professor of Feminist Theology at Pacific School of Religion and the GTU, as well as the Georgia Harkness Emerita Professor of Applied Theology at Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary, writes this in "Sexism and God-Talk:"
" It is possible that the social origins of male monotheism lie in nomadic herding societies. These cultures lacked the female gardening role and tended to image God as the Sky-father. Nomadic religions were characterized by exclusivism and an aggressive, hostile relationship to the agricultural people of the land and their religions."
As the nomadic religions began to take hold the image of women within the society became linked with the functionality of livestock. Male children were cherished for building a dynasty while female children were valued only for the purpose of producing more male children. Women were now considered property and livestock, baby making machines. With the rise of Christianity came the justification for the demeaning role of women because it had been declared as so in the ancient texts.
The final blow
With the persecution of any religion that allowed for a duality (God/Goddess pairing), the monotheistic form of worship fit neatly with the patriarchal rule in society. Few religions or cultures retained their Goddess forms, most melted into the background or were watered-down to be assimilated into the dominating belief system.

Setting the Wedding Date
The choice of wedding date is dependent on many factors, but it is important to remember that a minimum of six months is usually required to organise a wedding. Most importantly, the availability of the wedding party and key guests must be confirmed, as well as the favoured venue or church.
The season and time of year will dictate the style of the wedding; some bride and grooms-to-be also take the climate of their favoured honeymoon destination into consideration. The couple should also check that they are not clashing with any other significant events.
Once the date is finalised, it is a good idea to send out save the date cards.

When our first child was born my wife and I decided to keep most of the big things like the crib, stroller, car seat and high chair just in case we decided to have another baby. Boy are we glad we did because it saved us a lot of money, however there was a quite a few years between both kids so the high chair we used for our first child was recalled years later unbeknownst to us since we had finished using it.
My wife and I were thrilled when Nuna offered to send their ZAAZ™ high chair to us for review. We remember seeing their chair and Nuna's other product the LEAF™ in the store and thinking how cool looking it was. In case you are not familiar with Nuna, a father of two who wanted baby products that combined style with functionality founded the company in 2007. He traveled to the Netherlands and found a passionate, young product team in Amsterdam, which is a breeding ground of smart design and created Nuna. Today, the collection consists of smart baby gear that is also stylish, safe and solid.
When the ZAAZ arrived, the first thing we noticed was the size of the chair. It was much smaller and less cumbersome than the previous chair we had. Of course you can't miss the modern design of the chair. The sleek leg base, chic color options and smart look makes it feel like designer furniture. Due to the size of the chair, this is a great option for families with space issues. It's perfect for apartment living!
Another fantastic feature of this chair is that it grows with your child. It is designed to be height adjustable with removable features (like the food tray) that allow children to use it from the time they can sit up unaided to adulthood or 220 lbs. Yup that's right adults can use it as well once you take off the plastic components and turn it into a regular chair. With the height adjustment, we were able make the chair the same height as our dining table and the tray fit right under the table. The baby was able to be right next to us, and it was much easier to feed him and see him.
The seat cushion is really comfortable too. It's a unique air-foam cushion that custom-fits each chair and pads both small and bigger bottoms. The cushions are so intricate; they take an hour to make. They are BPA, PVC, and DEHP free. The chair also has a five-point harness to keep baby secure and you can switch to three-point as your child grows.
Another feature that we loved and other parents will too is how easy it is to clean this chair. The chair has a no-crevice design so cleaning up crumbs is a dream. It's also easy to wipe down any spills on the cushion.
This is a fantastic demo video of the ZAAZ. It really gives you a feel for how the chair works. The ZAAZ high chair is available in three colors: Almond, Plum or Pewter. The suggested price for the chair is $249.95 and it can be purchased on here on Nuna's website. For more information on Nuna and its products as well as to find out which boutiques near you carry the brand please visit nuna.eu

Old Colorado City Library will be closed Sat., July 2 - Thurs., July 7 due to floor refinishing.
Self-Check Machines Will Require PIN
Beginning on Monday, December 3, 2012, all PPLD self-check machines will require the use of your patron PIN.
Why do I need a PIN?
A PIN (Personal Identification Number) protects your library card from unauthorized use. In the event that your card is lost or stolen, we have provided you with an extra layer of protection. The Library enabled this feature to help ensure the privacy of your Library account.
Your PIN is required when you:
- Login to My Account on the Library's web page
- Check out items at a self-check station
- Login to reserve and use a Library computer
- Place holds on items
Not Actual Security
Maybe you shouldn't say it protects from unauthorized use given that anyone can check out with a librarian, no PIN necessary. I found this out the hard way today when someone stole my daughter's library card and used it to take out items, and I learned that now I'm responsible for any fines.
This false sense of security led me to believe that if she lost her card they couldn't use it, because they wouldn't know the PIN. Maybe you should do a better job informing people that there is no real protection from fraud here.
It is important to report
It is important to report that the Library card has been stolen immediately so that staff can make sure it is not used again at self check or at the circulation desk. If the card is reported stolen, no charges accrue. Please contact Sean at 531-6333 x 2388 to give him more details so that he may be able to assist you further.

where are the pictures?
Hi there. I found some
Hi there. I found some pictures on the Pikes Peak Radio Control Club website:
Hope this helps!
pin required for checkout
I don't mind having to put in my pin to check out books at the self-check machine, but the touchscreen does not allow for any privacy. It is very easy for anyone to see your pin.
PIN security
I felt very vulnerable as I entered my PIN code at self-checkout for the first time last week. This very visible screen goes against all the cautions we have been given about keeping PIN codes private. Good to learn about the circulation desk option. I think that may be the way to go.
Pin on checkouts
Unfortunately, the nature of these self-checks makes it difficult to hide the screen and still be able to see it for use-they just aren't designed like an ATM machine. However, in order for anyone to compromise your library account, they would need BOTH your library card number and your PIN, which isn't likely to happen. If you are still nervous about the process, you may go to the circulation desk to check out.
Carolyn Coulter
IT Officer
I like the idea of more
I like the idea of more security. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be too difficult to get someone's account number from a hold slip and with the pin being so easily visible at the kiosks, there is certainly room for mischief. I'd feel better if the holds slips didn't have our account numbers on them and the pin entry was more private.
Thank you for providing such an excellent library system, which is always improving and offers so much to the community! In spite of my concerns here, I must say how much you are appreciated!
PIN's needed for checkout
Good news: Library acct #'s are not on hold sllps, so someone's pin and a hold slip cannot allow access to someone else's account.

Maybe the Topeka YMCA would have given KU a better game than Texas last night, February 22, 2013, but they would have came away with a loss just the same. If you blinked in the opening minutes of the game, you would have missed the short time Texas thought they had a chance. In the first 5 minutes, the Longhorns mounted an 8-3 lead, but Kansas quickly put an end to that with a 25-2 run. They closed out the game with a resounding 85-54 win and avenging a loss in Austin a few weeks before.
KU's Andrew Wiggins lead all scorers with 21 points, grabbed six rebounds and tallied a pair of blocks. Rookie center Joel Embiid finished the night with the Jayhawks' all-time freshman blocks record, surpassing Eric Chenowith's previous record of 62. Wayne Selden, Jr., dished out a career-high seven assists and tied his personal-best with six rebounds, while Frank Mason hit a career-high six shots on his way to 14 points.
The Jayhawks held Texas to 18 points in the first half and never let up until the final buzzer sounded. It's definitely a game the fans and surely Bill Self was looking for after a lackluster game against Texas Tech last Monday where they needed a Wiggins put-back with 2 seconds left to take the lead and the win. Kansas has been playing their best basketball in this Big 12 conference play, and sometimes not their best. Hopefully with a handful of games remaining, the Jayhawks can find more consistency like the Texas performance and string together a run in March.

18 Feb Three-time World Champion Amélie Cazé announces retirement
France's triple World Modern Pentathlon Champion Amélie Cazé has decided to bring the curtain down on her glittering career this week. The 29-year-old, who also claimed two European titles and appeared at three Olympic Games, had been one of the sport's leading lights ever since she burst onto the scene as a precocious talent to win silver medals at both the Junior World and Junior European Championships in 2003.
Although she started training again last year, following an extended break after London 2012, and came back to win the first event of the French National Circuit last month, she hangs up her epee, goggles, whip, pistol and running shoes to embark on the next chapter in her life.
"Now that I have made my decision, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders", she said. "It became harder and harder to stay motivated and to continue training day in day out. I was missing that spark. So I think this is the right time to retire."
"It is an emotional moment and I have some wonderful memories. Even though Modern Pentathlon is a small sport, we are big family", she added. "I will miss it."
When asked about the best moments of her career, she explained, "Collecting my first World Championships medal in 2007 gave me such a wonderful feeling but claiming gold in 2009 must be the stand-out moment after it was the objective I had set myself after the disappointment of finishing ninth at the 2008 Beijing Olympics".
2010 was also an exceptional year for Cazé as she did the double, scooping both the World and European titles along with a whole host of wins at various international competitions. She explained, "I changed my approach and methods to my training that year and really reaped the rewards".
"I have to thank my coaches and the support they showed me throughout my career. I have a debt of gratitude to them", she continued. Although, an Olympic medal eluded her on three occasions, she said, "I have no regrets".
Amélie Cazé now gives way to the next generation of French athletes coming through the ranks, a team she feels "has really developed over the last couple of seasons, especially the men. They have realized they have great potential, and as a group they are challenging each other to get better and better. Recent results have shown that. The women are in the process of re-building but I am convinced their new coach (recently retired Jean Maxcence Berrou) will get the best out of them".
With World Cup #1 getting under way next week and ushering in the 2014 Modern Pentathlon season, Cazé, who won the competition exactly nine years ago, remembered the feeling and the nerves she had before claiming the winner's trophy. "The first competition gives you a great opportunity to see all your friends again and get your bearings for the new season. Winter training can be long and hard so getting back into the groove is vital. Doing well in the first major event of the year is a great way to put down a marker."
She then went onto to encourage more young people to take up the sport, "Modern Pentathlon is like a family and the sport itself tests you to your very limit. It forges your character and I would tell anyone aspiring to get into it to not hesitate for one second."
When quizzed if she would ever consider a coaching role, she said, "It has never really crossed my mind, but you should never say never!"
Now though, all she is focused on is enjoying a well-deserved break away from the sport and the pressure of training. "I am looking forward to relaxing and not thinking about too much. I am sure there will be opportunities for me."
UIPM President Dr h. c. Klaus Schormann wished Cazé the very best for the future, stating, "She was an outstanding athlete with great spirit and a real will to win. She is a great example for others to follow and will always be a true champion."
One thing is for sure, her spirit, competitiveness and true grit will sorely be missed and she will be go down in history as one of the great pentathletes of the modern era.

Butch T. CougarAppearances & Requests
The Butch T. Cougar mascot program is a student program run by the WSU Spirit Squads as part of the WSU Athletics department housed on the WSU-Pullman campus.
In 1927, Governor Roland Hartley presented a cougar cub to the students of Washington State. This first cougar mascot was named Butch in honor of Herbert "Butch" Meeker of Spokane, who was WSU's football star at the time.
Governor Clarence D. Martin presented Butch II to the student body in 1938. Butch III and IV were twin cubs presented by Governor Arthur B. Langlie in January 1942. Governor Langlie also presented Butch V in 1955. Butch VI, the last live mascot on campus, died in the summer of 1978. Governor Albert Rosellini had presented him to Washington State University in 1964 from the Seattle Zoo.
Today, the Washington State University mascot "Butch T. Cougar" is a costumed mascot that people love and enjoy. He is a widely recognized symbol of the Washington State Athletics and University.

Tone Up For Rock Hard Triceps
sexy muscleWell-built triceps are very sexy and indicative of your overall degree of fitness. Genetics are main contributors to their appearance, but with the right diet and exercise routine, you can boast massive triceps in no time.
Before carrying out your tricep routine, you need to determine what your end goals are. Do you want to build massive triceps, or do you simply want to keep them hard and firm?
bulk up or trim downIf you want to build massive triceps, focus on basic movements like close-grip bench press, tricep pushdowns and the French press. Carry out 10 to 14 sets with heavy weights, enabling you to aim for 6 to 10 repetitions.
If you want to harden and trim your triceps, you can carry out one mass building exercise and cap off your routine with two finishing exercises such as tricep extensions with cables and various bars, and one arm tricep press downs. Use lighter weights and try to go for a total of 10-14 sets of 10-15 repetitions.
Here are three exercises that you should include in your tricep routine:
1. close-grip bench pressClose-grip bench press is a basic exercise that will help build overall mass in your triceps and inner chest. It's like the squat for legs or the bench press for chest. The trick is to focus on your form so that your elbows always stay close to your rib cage when bringing the bar down to your chest.
By doing this, you're focusing the tension on your triceps rather than your chest — one of the most common complaints of the close grip bench press. Another frequent complaint is pain in the wrists because of the bars' position. It may take one or two sessions to get used to it. Try using the E-Z bar or simply change your grip if the problem persists.
- Lie flat on a regular bench press with your back on the bench.
- Grab the bar at the appropriate width; the bar should be at forehead level above you.
- Your grip on the bar should be a little narrower than shoulder width, around 12 to 14 inches between each thumb.
- Take the weighted bar off the support rack and slowly bring it down to your chest. After a second or two, slowly bring the weight back up to its initial position.
- The movement is actually a duplicate of the bench press, but with a closer grip. Make sure that your elbows don't deviate from each side of your body.
If you're lifting heavy weights, be sure to have somebody behind you in case you need a spot. Also, wait at least 48 hours between your chest routine and your tricep routine because you're using a lot of the same muscles and they need a resting period.

People hald a banner as they approach, on Saturday, March 16, 2013, the Thessaloniki's Eleftherias (Freedom) Square, Greece, where the first batch of Jews were rounded up by the occupying German forces on March 15, 1943. Jewish residents in this northern Greek city have gathered to commemorate the 70th anniversary from the first roundup and deportation of Jews to Nazi extermination camps in World War II. By August 1943, 46,091 Jews had been deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Of those, 1,950 survived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has not left the building". The Alhambra Theatre & Dining adds a new concert series to its 2014 line up. The "Alhambra After Dark Music Series" opens with "Elvis the Show" starring Kevin Mills for 5 performances starting February 6-9, 2014. Mills is one of the world's most renowned Elvis impersonators and has performed to packed houses all over the world.
For 46 years the Alhambra has featured eight or nine shows of traditional theatrical fare – musicals, comedies, dramas – each lasting five or six weeks at a time. In this 47th season of America's longest-running professional dinner theater, ownership has added some new fare, offering guests a series of five concert shows running for one week in between shows on its regular theatrical schedule.
Alhambra After Dark was started four years ago to introduce productions that were non-traditional in nature for the Alhambra, experimenting in comedy nights, big band dancing and even trivia events. "Alhambra After Dark has given us license to go off-rand and try some new things. We have decided that it really needs to focus on concerts with a different culinary experience than what our guests have been used to." Our goal is certainly to offer our valued core of current guests another reason to visit us, but we also hope to appeal to a new audience that may have heard about our improvements at The Alhambra, but simply may not be theater people. Our research tells us that concert style shows in an intimate environment such as the Alhambra is missing in our market, and we are excited to fill that void. We will continue to add these types of shows, whether for a week or a night and someday we hope to attract current pop, country and rock acts to our venue." — Managing partner, Craig Smith.
About the Show: On July 31, 1969, at the International Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, Elvis Presley performed live for the first time in nine years. His 58 consecutive sold-out shows broke all Las Vegas attendance records. "Elvis the Show" takes the audience right back to those days at the International Hilton with the incredible Kevin Mills. It is apparent as soon as he walks on stage: not only does Kevin capture the essence of the King of Rock-n-Roll, but he is an incredible performer in his own right. "Elvis the Show" recreates those live performances down to the last detail. In 2010 Kevin was a finalist at Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contents in Memphis. His success reflects not only his accomplishments and beliefs, but also an incredible love for live and entertaining.
Executive Chef DeJuan Roy also promises some surprises. Each Alhambra After Dark show will feature its own menu and allow his team to explore some culinary styles different than traditional Alhambra fare. Said Chef Roy, "Our guests are going to see some dishes that might be a little edgier than what they are used to. We take great pride in our regular menus and have fun with our ability to change it with each show. We Also thought it was important to keep our 'dinner and a show' concept in tact because it's truly what separates us from any other venue, but being able to go off-brand means we can treat out guests to some unique flavor palettes. My team is really excited about digging into these shows and showing off a little bit of their creativity on a more regular basis".

Sevananda is an independent, local, community-owned store that is operated as a cooperative run by and for our member-owners since 1974. What is for sale and how we do business is decided right here, not in a corporate boardroom. So we're responsive to community needs in ways no corporate store can ever be. And we're free to support local events, education and initiatives that promote good food, healthy living and community well-being. Become a co-op member, volunteer, or just take a class. It ís all part of making our world a little better place to live.
By: Holly B.
Membership & Promotions
Welcome to Sevananda's new website! We are really happy to have this, and be able to reach out in new and exciting ways. One of those ways is the blogs for each department, and this is the one about our community. That's a word you hear bandied about quite a bit. Sometimes it's politicians trying to tell you how much they care about their constituents. Other times it's someone trying to get you to sign something to change a perceived wrong. In our case, community means a little bit more than either of those examples.
Here in the heart of L5P (Little 5 Points) we have an amazing experiment-in-progress that has been going on essentially since 1974. The idea behind the founding of the store (originally called The Egg and the Lotus, by the way) was to share expenses across a group of people for healthy food they all wanted to buy. And if you think about it, we're still doing pretty much the same thing. Sure, our scale and scope is quite a bit larger than it was in '74, but we also have thousands more Member Owners as well. This is our community, Little 5 Points, where we've been for over 30 years, making us one of the cornerstone places in the neighborhood, along with Charis Books and B.O.N.D. Community Federal Credit Union.
Our community is also wherever you come from. You may live in Douglasville or drive from Alabama to get here. You don't have to live here to be a part of Sevananda. Anyone walking in the door is welcome to shop, talk and socialize in the community of Sevananda. Our name translates from Sanskrit and means: The Joy of Service. This is a really good, even great ideal to live up to every day.
So many times, a life of service can be admired from afar by those who do not do it themselves. But here at Sevananda, you're taking part in serving your community every time you shop here. Your patronage helps fund our Be The Change program, which works with a dozen different non-profits annually. Every time you round-up your total to the next dollar at the register or if you shop on the last Saturday of the month, those monies are given directly to those groups. Even if your life does not allow for volunteering directly, you can still help these groups serve the many in need, exemplifying the real meaning of community: working together for a shared future and the greater good for all.
We also have nearly 100 local and regional businesses whose products we carry in the store. Even if you don't buy Hathor's Creations soaps — made by our very own Accounts Payable department's Michalea — when you buy anything at all in the store you're helping these local vendors. This is a big part of who we are as a community-oriented shop. Concern for Community is principle 7 in the co-op principles, after all. This is just one of the ways in which we express the principle.
So, that's where Sevananda started out all those years ago. We've not travelled far from these ideas and ideals to get to where we are today, and we're grateful that so many of you have chosen to travel this path with us.
To close with one of my favorite quotes that shows me what the very idea of community means, I use the words of Ron L. Moore here. "He who raises others, raises himself." And to quote Stan Lee (co-creator of Spider-Man) I also say, "…'nuff said!"

Many of us are impatiently counting down the last weeks of winter. Spring is almost here! Yes! Spring equals warmer weather, sunshine, flowers, and all that jazz, but it also means that Netflix's original comedy-drama Orange is the New Black will premiere its second season! So, you know what that spells out for you, right? It means that you have more than enough time to binge watch the first season before the second season premieres.
To give you a brief idea about Orange is the New Black, it follows main character Piper's experiences while serving a stint in jail; she's convicted for being a drug mule for her ex-girlfriend 10 years earlier (the statute of limitation had almost run out). When she's indicted, she had just settled into the straight and narrow life. She had a fiancé, Larry. Plus, she and her best friend started a successful beauty product line that was featured at high-end boutiques and department stores. The show also focuses on other inmates and their family members who are not imprisoned.
Now, why I do I like the show? Well, there are many reasons, but I'll keep it short. For one, I like how the characters are complex, and we get their backstories (sometimes) of how they ended up in jail. These little vignettes give them some humanity and make viewers sympathize with the characters' plights because it could be any woman in these situations, not just poor, misguided youth. Another thing I like about the show is the fine line Orange is the New Black dabbles with the combination of humor and social issues. For example, when Crazy Eyes becomes obsessed with Piper, she calls Piper her "dandelion" and says how they can be "chocolate and vanilla swirl." Some inmates even call Piper "Taylor Swift" when she first arrives, even though she has no likeness to the superstar, other than the fact that she's white. The show uses ironic humor to show how all of the women are pretty much the same, despite their ethnic differences.
To me, it's no Lockup: Raw or Oz by any stretch of the imagination, but it still seems so real because jail is not presented as a lovely place meant to vacation. Now, I will say that this show is highly inappropriate for kids; hence, the TV-MA rating. But, if profanity, nudity, and unorthodox sexuality won't get your panties in a bunch, sign into your Netflix and get to watching! It won't disappoint.
Let me know what you think about Orange is the New Black. Also, if you're already a fan, leave behind what you think will happen in the second season.

Strategic Planning – For a modest fee, your Regional Director can help your credit union develop an effective long-term (three-to-five year) strategic plan to help it run smoothly. The strategic planning process begins with thorough research of your credit union's operations and a meeting with key individuals from the credit union to identify critical issues and concerns. Then, an indepth planning session with a trained facilitator from the Regional Management Department is scheduled to work closely with the board and management team to design a comprehensive plan. The culmination of these efforts results in a written plan that identifies general objectives and strategies, and articulates the vision for your credit union. Above all, your credit union will be fully equipped with a basis for action that can be immediately implemented. For more information, contact Regional Management at (630) 983-3455.

Kaitlyn Avila died Oct. 1 when two men pulled up in front of her family's apartment and one shot her point blank.
"This wasn't an accident or case of her getting caught in the fire," police Deputy Chief Charles Beck said Monday. "He intended to kill her. This was a callous killing. It is beyond even what gangsters consider usual."
Beck said the killer approached Kaitlyn, father Cesar Avila and her 6-year-old sister as they were getting out of their car after a trip to McDonald's. He wounded Cesar Avila, erroneously believing that he was a member of a rival gang, then shot Kaitlyn once in the chest, police said.

Ivy is awesome! My first posting ever. I had cancelled my membership because I was a little tired of the same old stuff, but I may have to reconsider. Especially if you could get her to come back. Where were the girls like her when I was younger. I've loved this site for years, and this girl may be my favorite all time. Thanks. Please tell me you can get her back and I will rejoin.

Mark Hunter
Mark Hunter was still a teenager when his doctor told him that there was cancer in his bones. That diagnosis put Mark's life on a new path.

Incoming American Idol judge Steven Tyler made the rounds as part of the show's final season-10 press push today, and he's clearly trying to establish himself as the free spirit of the newly installed judges' panel, the person who's unafraid to throw down some Real Talk when things get quiet (or awkward, which will probably happen a lot as Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Ryan Seacrest, and Tyler learn how to play off one another.) The Paula Abdul, if you will, although he's not afraid to talk about his rehab stint a lot.
In a preview of what will no doubt be a common theme during the forthcoming Idol season—which will be recapped almost-instantaneously on Popdust, episode by episode—ere are some of the best quotes he laid down today, when his itinerary included Live With Regis & Kelly, Howard Stern, and a conference call with reporters. We'll leave them context-free for the most part, because, well, it's more fun that way:
• "Well hellfire, save matches, fuck a duck, and see what hatches." (This was a clip from Idol that was incorporated into the Regis & Kelly segment, actually. "Fuck" was bleeped, obviously, but hearing it from a judge and not an angry contestant was something of a switcheroo.)
• "Randy was the shit."
• "Should I give a limerick? There once was a man from Kent / Who had one so long that it… no, I will not go there."
• "Did I not go with Zeppelin? I could have."
• "It should be bigger! Why isn't it bigger? You had—it was down to here, I saw your movie the other day!" (This is about Howard Stern's hair, by the way.)
• "I sent them all a letter that said, 'You'll miss me when I'm quiet.' "
• "I'm just bringing my Italian, I know how to work a room, Aunt Phyllis honesty — 40 years as a front guy in Aerosmith who's judged the hell out of himself and kinda made a good career out of it, with hopes to find some kids in America here for American Idol to take the stage. No more, no less." Wait, doesn't he mean "No More No More"?
Also he said that watching The Back-Up Plan made him fall in love with Jennifer Lopez. Rom-coms: They have real-life effects!

ZF-6946: Add Config functionality
Please add setConfig(Zend_Config $config) & setOptions(array $options) functionality to Zend_Log & Zend_Log_Writer_Abstract.
I believe this will be addressed as part of the Zend_Log factory proposal. I'll confirm once I have an ETA on when that component will be complete.
I've looked over the proposal and have two issues:
- It looks dead/dormant/inactive.
- We shouldn't slide down the slippery-slope of factory-itis.
The developer has assured me he will be completing it this month. One of the requirements was that it allow passing a config object or array to the constructor in order to perform the factory mechanism (since the specific goal is instantiating the appropriate log writers and/or filters for a given instance).
Zend_Log::factory() is completed now. Method setOptions does not exist, but the functionality is here.

A new study conducted by the health research firm Visante for the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association (PCMA) reports that legislation to exempt drugstores from certain safety and performance standards could raise patient safety concerns and, according to the study, could increase prescription drug costs by $392 million in 2015 and $6 billion over the next decade.
From allergy medications to arthritis medications Americans, especially senior citizens, depend on pharmacy medication to help them live with degenerative illnesses as well as headaches and toothaches and other maladies. An increase in pharmaceutical costs not only threatens budgets already stretched to the limit in one of the worst economics in recent history; moreover, the cost increases could shorten the lifespan of Americans who need various prescription drugs to survive.
A recent summit in Atlanta addressed the need to fight prescription drug abuse; however, there are many prescription drugs which offer no effect other than to relieve high blood pressure or joint pain. These drugs are not taken to achieve any type of high. The prescription drugs are ordered by doctors to combat degenerative conditions.
The legislation PCMA is concerned about would eliminate public and private health plans' ability to utilize mail-service and specialty pharmacies to effectively avoid medication errors, promote generics, improve adherence, and administer biologic medicines that can be injected or delivered intravenously. A recent national survey of physicians who prescribe specialty medications found that just 5% believe that all drugstores "have the expertise and capability to provide the different types of specialty medications to patients."
"New, more complex medicines come to market every day and not all drugstores are equipped to safely administer every one of them. Forcing plans to ignore this basic reality puts patients at risk and raises premiums," said PCMA President and CEO Mark Merritt.
If enacted, the legislation could increase prescription drug costs and related medical costs in New York by up to $392 million in 2015. Over 10 years, the estimated cost could be $6 billion, according to the study.
The legislation purposed in New York could raise costs and undermine care in New York by exempting retail pharmacies from meeting standards related to credentialing, drug utilization evaluation activities, clinical prior authorization, quality-of-care reviews, and formulary compliance, PCMA reports.
As Congress continues to seek ways to combat the misuse of prescription drugs it is hoped that there will not be any attempt to undermine price concessions currently offered by mail-service and specialty pharmacies and result in higher costs. Congressman Hal Rogers is leading the fight in Congress to stop prescription drug abuse. However, Rogers is focused on the illegal use of prescription drugs and prescription drugs that are not being used as prescribed by a physician.
PCMA represents the America's pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which improve affordability and quality of care through the use of electronic prescribing (e-prescribing), generic alternatives, mail-service pharmacies, and other innovative tools for 216 million Americans.

LIANG Xiaobin is most famous for his poem China, I've lost my key. It was about how much fun it was to "run wildly" and "cheer" during the Cultural Revolution and how little sense it all made looking back.
Last month, Liang auctioned the poem's original manuscript for 80,000 yuan ($A12,000). If the Cultural Revolution was difficult to understand, he says, then today's Chinese art market is insane. "People don't know anything about the value of art," he says. "They don't even talk about it, or know what is good or bad."
And yet China's new rich are snapping up paintings, sculptures and, most recently, poetry manuscripts in an investment frenzy. Earlier this month a Chinese buyer forked out a record 80 million yuan for a Ming Dynasty painting called The Red Cliff Handscroll, by painter Qiu Ying.
Liang, voted China's best poet by China Central Television in 2004, sold a second poem for 70,000 yuan.
Ye Kuangzheng, a young poet and critic, sold early scribblings for one of his poems for 110,000 yuan. "I didn't know these things were worth any money," he says, holding up a fistful of drafts he plans to put on the market soon.
By the end of China's first major poetry auction, at Beijing's Kerry Centre, those five and six-figure price tags looked like bargains. Sichuan poet Li Yawei sold the manuscript for his poem The Chinese Department for 1.1 million yuan.
Zhu Wei, a well-known painter and sculptor, says he is so disgusted that he has gone on strike. "I worked too hard for too many years, I don't want to join the chaos right now," he says.
The decision is not just a statement of principle. Zhu doesn't want serious collectors to associate his name with some of the "rubbish" being sold.
As with many of China's frothing asset markets, the art bubble is attracting protests of foul play. A Hong Kong buyer, who did not want to be named, says her well-known gallery refuses to buy in the current environment because traders are routinely buying their own works at inflated prices to give an impression of hot demand.
Liang says he is still waiting to be paid. He won't be surprised if the money doesn't come, nor will he be too worried; poets aren't accustomed to receiving money, he says.

Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic occupies the eastern two-thirds of the large Caribbean island of Hispaniola and has a land border with Haiti on the west.
The country has an area of nearly 48,500 sq km/18,700 sq mi, twice as large as Wales. It is the most mountainous of the Caribbean Islands, with the highest peaks rising over 3,000 m/10,000 ft but there are also considerable areas of lowland.
Apart from the mountains, which are cooler and wetter, the weather and climate are represented by the table for Santo Domingo on the south coast.
The north coast is almost twice as wet throughout the year and has rather more rain in the winter season than is usual in the Caribbean.

Lyuba, a 41,800-year old mummified baby mammoth has become the "toast" of London, now appearing at a new exhibit "Mammoths: Ice Age Giants" at the city's Natural History Museum from May 23 to September 7. Lyuba is on loan from the Shemanovskiy Museum and Exhibition Center in Salekhard, Russia.
The female calf was originally discovered by a Yuri Khudi, a Nenets reindeer breeder and hunter and his sons, on the Yuribey river in Russia's Arctic Yamal Peninsula in May 2007. Named for Khudi's wife, Lyuba has since become an international "star" as the best preserved mammoth in the world, with her eyes and trunk were intact, some fur still on her body, and skin and internal organs in pristine condition. In fact, scientists were able to identify milk from her mother and feces in her intestines.
About the size of a large dog, the baby mammoth weighs about 110 lbs, and measures 33.5" high, and 51" inches long from truck to tail. Studies of her teeth also show that she was only about 36-days old when she is believed to have suffocated by inhaling mud as she struggled while bogged down in deep mud in a riverbed. Scientists have also speculated that Lyuba's body "may have been colonized by lactic acid-producing bacteria, which, literally served to'pickle' her."
